Chapter 4: Frost Falls (Part 3)

At such a changing moment, Aunt Yun was very happy to be able to give the Wang family such a big backer as Feng Changqing. Wang Xun was also very happy to be able to find a big tree to hide from the limelight, so that Aunt Yun and Ziluo and others would no longer be afraid of themselves every day. Being able to take care of his friend's son and repay him for his kindness back then, Feng Changqing was naturally very comfortable in his heart. Therefore, the family banquet that night was eaten very heartily, until the sound of curfew sounded outside the fangzi, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily.

The only fly in the ointment is that Yu Wenzhi's matter is still unsettled. During the banquet, Wang Xun wanted to ask Feng Changqing for help, but was perfunctory by the other party in very vague language. "Old fox!" He secretly slandered, but he didn't dare to force it too much, so he had to put it aside in advance and think about it slowly after the banquet was over.

The husband and master of his own family have something to do, and the concubine Ziluo is the most excited. Wang Xun returned to the room, and she grabbed the military generals who were left by Feng Changqing, and compared them one by one. After drinking wine with the guests for half the night, Wang Xun was already so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and he gently slapped the back of Ziluo's hand and protested in a low voice: "In the middle of the night, what are you tossing around." I won't go to the barracks to report until three days later, and tomorrow I will have time for you to clean up! ”

"The concubine likes to see Lang Jun wearing a military uniform!" Ziluo pursed her lips and smiled with her eyebrows. "Spirit, Lisuo, through the stock of sassy energy!"

"According to you, I was not mentally good before, and I was not good at it?" Wang Xun poked Ziluo on the finger and asked with a smile. Having said that, he still took off his coat and let Ziluo take a few little girls and put the uniforms on his body.

Although he said that he wanted to be a pawn, Feng Changqing couldn't really let him start as an ordinary soldier. Therefore, what was left was a set of regular clothes of the lieutenant of the Eighth Rank Xuanjie, with a bright red cloak, ochre-colored belly, and a blue-black crotch. The top is made of Shu brocade as the face, the satin as the inside, the front chest is embroidered with dark red silk thread with a winged wolf, and the elbows and cuffs are thickened with soft cow leather patchwork. A four-finger-wide belt was tied around his waist, and a sword hook made of white marble hung diagonally from his side. At his feet are a pair of long Leu leather boots with a pointed toe and a high, just like two clippers, as long as the sails are set, you can ride the wind and waves. (Note 1)

There are more than 20 such clothes in various colors of silk loops, and they are awkward at a glance. Forcibly enduring the discomfort on his body, Wang Xun let Ziluo take the two little maids to put himself at his mercy. looked at the bronze mirror and said in a low voice: "Where is this the clothes worn in the war, standing in the teahouse to speak to people, it's almost the same." If you really wear it to battle, I'm afraid that as soon as those barbarians from the Western Regions see it, they will rush up one by one! ”

"What are you doing rushing up, rushing up to death?" The little girl Xueyan followed Wang Xun late, not like Ziluo who could guess his thoughts, so she asked in a low voice.

"Pick up my clothes." Wang Xun laughed, "This outfit can be sold for at least two or three thousand yuan on the market." Those cattle that have been put away by barbarians all their lives may not be able to earn this amount. Therefore, as soon as the two armies fought, their morale was immediately boosted. One by one, they shouted 'Wishing you prosperity and rushed over desperately! “

As he spoke, he put on a fierce look, and his mouth squeaked and screamed. made a few little girls laugh and tremble. "You can't talk nonsense. Lang Jun is now an eight-rank lieutenant, and an officer must have the majesty of an officer! Ziluo rolled her eyes and glared back at the laughter of a few little girls, "Don't stand stupid, you guys hurry up and help see what's not suitable." Wait a while for the master to take it off, let's change it overnight! ”

"Why are you in such a hurry, it's still two or three days!" Wang Xun couldn't stand Ziluo's anxious roar, and smiled and reached out to untie the belt around his waist, "Take it off, awkward!" ”

"Lang Jun, don't move!" Ziluo immediately pounced on him and held his arm hard, "Don't move, it'll be fine right away." There are also horizontal knives and waist cards that are not hung up! ”

As he spoke, he neatly hung a horizontal knife on Wang Xun. Then he hung a gold-painted waist plaque next to the scabbard. "Yes, this time it's a waste of copper and rotten iron, and you don't have to worry about people not hearing the movement when you walk!" Wang Xun smiled and joked, the moment his eyes swept over the bronze mirror, he was attracted by the pattern on the waist card.

Flowing cloud pattern, a claw faintly poked out of it. He was slightly stunned, and reached out to untie the waist card. Ziluo thought that he was too cumbersome, and immediately persuaded him softly, "It's okay right away, it's good right away, don't move around!" Wang Xun gently nudged her and ordered in a low voice, "Don't mess around." Immediately untie the waist card and show it to me! ”

"Hmm" This time, Ziluo finally noticed that something was wrong, and quickly untied the waist card, and put her hands in front of Wang Xun's eyes. "Move the lamp this way!" Wang Xun nodded and ordered in a low voice. Staring at the pattern on the waist card, he didn't move.

It is indeed a flowing cloud pattern, a dragon probe paw print. This is not the waist card of the Anxi Army, but the mark of the Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard. Wyvern Guard, minions of dragons. I don't know if Old Man Feng was negligent, or deliberately, he left the Flying Dragon Guard waist card directly under His Majesty the Emperor as the waist card of the Anxi Army to the Wang family! With this waist card, not only does the Yamen of Wannian County need to weigh Wang Xun if he wants to move. Even if the head catcher of Jingzhao Yin Yamen went out in person, he had to think carefully in advance, in order to curry favor with his boss and directly clash with the Flying Dragon Guards, who would bear this trouble?

Thinking about the key to it, Wang Xun unconsciously felt a trace of warmth in his heart. Feng Changqing, the old fox, must have expected that he would not stay at home honestly in the past few days before going to the barracks. That's why people deliberately left the waist card of a flying dragon guard as the waist card of the Anxi Army. With this waist card, it is equivalent to having an extra talisman in your hand. If you run around for Yu Wenzhi's case, you don't have to worry about being arrested on a random charge.

"Erlang, is there a problem?" Seeing that Wang Xun was staring at his waist card and didn't speak, Zi Luo looked into his eyes and asked nervously.

"It's fine." Wang Xun smiled and shook his head slightly. "I don't know if the gold pattern on this waist card is plated or embedded, let's find a goldsmith tomorrow to see, if it is inlayed, ask him if he can deduct the gold out!"

Note 1: Before the Anshi Rebellion, because the Central Plains did not experience a major war for decades, the army's clothes had been developing in luxury. The forbidden army in the Beijing division is especially the largest. It was not until after the outbreak of the war that it returned to the simplicity and practicality of the early Tang Dynasty.
