Chapter 6: The Sting (Part 8)

Little Bie is newlywed.

In the next few days, Wang Xun was extremely nourished. Or spend time with Purple Radix at home, say silly things that only two people find funny, and do things that make each other happy. Or go out to find Bai Jingzhi, listen to songs, drink, flirt, and have fun!

After experiencing a turmoil, Bai Jingzhi became even more indulgent to him than before, and almost met all his requirements except for the last barrier. "Anyway, Qingping is in the pond, and sooner or later it's not all Erlang's! You will allow the slave family to keep a small wish, and after marrying you, what Erlang wants, how well the slave family will be! ”

"I want you to sing to me every night!" After a few months of military camp life, Wang Xun's temperament is much calmer than before, and he pulled his big hand back from the other party's clothes, laughing and joking.

"Isn't Erlang listening every day now?" Bai Jingzhi didn't expect Wang Xun to make such a simple request, and she was stunned, showing a little curiosity in her attached eyes.

"Of course it's different, I want you to ....... and sing to me!" Wang Xun smiled and passed his lips over and pressed them against Bai Jingzhi's ear.

"Badass!" Bai Jingzhi's face was full of flying sunshine when she boarded, and she rolled out of the distance like she fled. hugged a pillow as a shield, hid behind, covered half of his body, shy and delicate, his voice was like the afterglow of a song, "If, if Erlang really likes it, too, I haven't tasted it, I can't taste it!" ”

"Really?" Wang Xun laughed, and his eyes suddenly lit up with a warm light.

"Hmm!" Bai Jingzhi gritted her teeth and nodded, then shook her head quickly, "It's really not serious." People think you've been reborn! ”

"Reborn, that's not easy?" Wang Xun immediately put away his smile, put on a stereotypical appearance of Mr. Private School, and stretched to the ground, "Lady, the moon and stars are scarce, and the black birds are flying south, let's do a gift of Zhou Gong, can we?" ”

"Phew!" Bai Jingzhi threw the pillow over, and rolled on the felt with laughter.

After enough laughter, the two put their heads together again, carefully planning the banquet promised to Zhou Laohu and others. With Bai Jingzhi, who can take over the mantle of Gongsun Auntie, the banquet is arranged much more calmly. Almost every detail, including the tastes and preferences of the guests, the difficulty and scope of the order, are clearly considered.

Three days later, Zhou Xiaofeng, Zhao Huaixu and others arrived as scheduled. Unexpectedly, Wang Xun really had the ability to invite Gongsun Auntie and Li Bai to come, and the arrogant Zhou Xiaofeng couldn't even say anything, and stammered for a while, so that everyone finally understood that he had been stationed near Broken Leaf City for a long time, and in the city, whether it was the Han people, the Qiang people, the Hui people, or the Turks, they were all proud of having a great poet there. On several occasions, in order to argue whether Li Bai was ordered to change his surname to Li, or whether he was of authentic Han Chinese blood, the common people fought fiercely. Thanks to the timely arrival of the Anxi army, there was no bigger mess!

For such an honor, Li Bai has long been surprised. smiled, and gently arched his hand at Zhou Xiaofeng, "I'm causing trouble to General Zhou." Li Mou is a Longxi cloth, and I am afraid that he has nothing to do with the Turkic royal family. As for who the ancestor is, the records in the family tree are ominous, and Li himself has no energy to investigate it exhaustively. ”

"The fairy is really free and easy! I remember a senior said that people are not animals, and they don't need to be famous! Zhao Huaixu took over the conversation and praised with a smile.

"That's a wonderful statement!" Li Bai shook his head, laughed and stroked his palms. "For the sake of this, you should also have a big drink!"

"!" The crowd immediately raised their glasses and drank all the wine in their cups.

Putting down the wine cup, Zhou Xiaofeng was afraid that Li Bai would misunderstand him and question his bloodline, so he stammered and continued to explain: "I, I, alas, I'm a rough person, I don't know how to say it." Qinglian monks don't blame, I just want to say that in the Broken Leaves area, no matter Hu Han, they are all proud of Brother Li!"

"The love of the fathers and villagers is really ashamed!" Li Bai nodded lightly at Zhou Xiaofeng, "I haven't been back for many years, I don't know what has become of my hometown?" ”

"No, nothing has changed!" Speaking of the style of the four towns in Anxi, Zhou Xiaofeng's nervous mood finally eased slightly, took a breath, and described to Li Bai: "Everything is the same. The desert, the yellow sand, the ancient road, the camel caravan, and the rows of poplars, poplar trees, ........"

"And my Tang Dynasty soldiers, holding long tassels, galloping between the desert and the Xiongguan!" Gao Shi quickly answered, and completed the majestic picture of the entire Western Regions for Zhou Xiaofeng.

Among those present, Li Bai was born in Broken Leaves, Cui Hao once went to the border to find an opportunity to cast people, Gao Shi served as the secretary of Gao Xianzhi, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, and Cen Shen had just joined the Feng Changqing Shogunate and became a clerk in charge. There is no shortage of common topics among each other. Soon, it was lively and lively, and the cups came and went, and they were happy.

Aunt Gongsun still didn't forget the debt from the last banquet, and she didn't wait for the wine to get drunk, so she found an opportunity to come to the door to force the debt. Li Bai and Gao Shi had already prepared, and after laughing and teasing a few words, they took out two poems praising their dancing posture. Seeing that Bai Jingzhi was extremely hot-eyed, she secretly kept giving Wang Xun a look, asking him to ask Li Bai and others for a poem for herself, so that she could show off to her sisters in the future. Wang Xun was embarrassed to ask the other party to exchange poems for every meal, shook his head, and deliberately ignored Bai Jingzhi's threat.

Seeing that the two were always flirting, Zhou Xiaofeng and the others joked again, asking Bai Jingzhi if she felt that she owed Wang Xun for saving her life, and planned to promise each other with her body? Bai Jingzhi was so ashamed that her face was red, and she hid behind Aunt Gongsun, making everyone laugh. After laughing, Gao Shi and Li Bai didn't know what was going on with the life-saving grace in Zhou Xiaofeng's mouth, and couldn't help but ask curiously. As soon as he was familiar with everyone, Zhou Xiaofeng immediately revealed his true appearance, and immediately added oil and vinegar, describing Wang Xun's heroic feat of saving the beauty three days ago.

After the story was finished, it immediately filled the house. Li Bai, Cui Hao, Gao Shi, Wang Quan and others all praised the case, admired Wang Xun's excellent martial arts, and gave some bullying guys a happy lesson. Wang Xun was a little embarrassed to be praised, thought about it, and explained in a low voice: "It's not that my martial arts are good, but that those three guys are too poor." I didn't even learn how to reload my crossbow right away, but I even came out to be an assassin! ”

"Little guy, don't take you to bury people like this!" Gao Shi thought that Wang Xun was modest, and couldn't help but laugh and joke.

"Yes, you win cleanly, but don't look down on others too much!" As Wang Xun's friend, Zhang Xun also smiled and advised.

"They're really bad!" Yan Jiming dealt with romantic characters like Li Bai and Gao Shi for the first time, but he was not stage frightened at all, and when he saw that everyone misunderstood Wang Xun's meaning, he immediately took the initiative to help explain. "I was on the side of the road at the time, and I was going to come up and help, but I didn't wait for the right opportunity. Brother Myeongyun has already eliminated all the assassins. According to the opinions of the younger generations, not only the poor skills of those assassins, but also the generals raised by the Wang family, as well as the fast catchers and helpers in Chang'an County, as well as the forbidden army guarding the city gate, do not seem to have good skills. The reaction is surprisingly slow, and when it encounters hard stubble, it immediately coaxes. ”

"Well, according to what you say, the yamen in the capital, as well as the battalions of the forbidden army, are equivalent to feeding a group of waste!" As a noble disciple of Jingshi Xun, Ma Fang was very dissatisfied with Yan Jiming's inadvertent contempt when he talked about Chang'an City, smiled, and asked in a low voice.

"Except for the Wyvern Guards you are in, I'm afraid that's exactly the case!" Yan Jiming smiled and replied unceremoniously.

"You really dare to say that you seem to have seen how many elite soldiers and strong generals you have seen!" Ma Fang immediately pursed his lips and commented with a sneer.

"At least, compared to the soldiers under the command of Fan Yang Jiedu who I have seen below, there is a big gap!" Yan Jiming was also young and vigorous, and immediately fought-for-tat.

Li Bai fought with Wang Xun a few months ago because of a misunderstanding. I know how much the latter actually weighs. Although the latter has been practicing his skills in the military camp for more than four months, it is a bit exaggerated to say that he has reached the point of rebirth. Therefore, he quickly accepted Yan Jiming's opinion, and asked very seriously: "You are from Hebei?" Have you seen the elite soldiers under the command of Fan Yang Jiedu? ”

"My father has been walking under An Jiedu for many years, and he was recently recommended by him to serve as the Taishou of Changshan!" Yan Jiming nodded and responded in a low voice.

Ever since he saw the catchers in Chang'an County and the generals of the Taiyuan Mansion showing their ugliness one after another, he has been a little uneasy in his heart. It's hard to say where this feeling of unease comes from. After arguing with Ma Fang today, Yan Jiming immediately realized the truth in his heart. What disturbed him was the stark contrast between the arrogant soldiers under the command of Fan Yang Jiedu and the armed forces of Chang'an City. The former and the latter stand together, like a lamb lying next to the evil wolf, and it is simply impossible to make the evil wolf not have any evil thoughts!

Through the observation of the past few days, Yan Jiming also clearly found that the several forbidden armies guarding the tranquility of the capital, except for the Flying Dragon Guards who were being trained by Feng Changqing, were all in vain. Such soldiers and horses, if they are pulled into the battlefield to fight against Fan Yang's elite, I am afraid that they will be scared to pee their pants by the bloody breath of the soldiers on the opposite side! How can they be expected to deter the Quartet, so that the world's ill-intentioned people will not dare to move?

But Yan Jiming couldn't clearly declare this kind of worry. First of all, An Jiedu is kind to the Yan family, and he can't slander this person for plotting misdeeds just because An Lushan's strength is too strong. Secondly, with his current status, even if he speaks out his worries, few people will listen carefully. On the contrary, it will make everyone feel that the father and uncle are white-eyed wolves that they can't raise, and they will bite back after getting the benefits of others.

Fortunately, there were several people in the audience who were also worried about state affairs, and when they heard that Yan Jiming had made a start, they immediately thought about it along the same lines. "It's not a day or two since the forbidden army is eroding. And now that the power of the generals in the border towns is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid this is not a good thing for the imperial court! Zhang Xun was already known for his integrity and outspokenness, and when he thought of something, he immediately said it.

"Lord Zhang's words are boring! The handsome and handsome commanders of our Anxi Town have always been loyal to the emperor! "If we have different interests, we will naturally look at problems from different angles. Seeing that Zhang Xunyan seemed to have something in his conversation, Zhou Xiaofeng immediately straightened his face and retorted loudly, "Besides, the Western Regions are thousands of miles away from Chang'an, if the commander needs to play everything to the imperial court, but he does not have the right to be arbitrary, when the imperial court approves it, I am afraid that the cucumber dishes will be cold long ago!" ”

"Zhang has no intention of insinuating Gao Shuai and Feng Shuai!" Zhang Xun hurriedly arched his hand and apologized in a low voice. "Zhang is just talking about things, the border town is strong, and the heart is empty, which is really not a blessing for the country!"

Zhao Huaixu glared at him, and said angrily: "Is that the forbidden army itself is not angry, and how many towns are there to stuff in the border?" Did you know that the big cannibal with the white hat is almost on the edge of the hot sea! Over the years, it was only thanks to the bloody battles of the Anxi disciples that they were pushed to the other side of the Gangros River. If someone talks nonsense and says that the imperial court has the idea of reducing the soldiers and horses in the border towns, the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains outside the Yumen Pass will probably no longer be owned by my Datang sooner or later! ”

"If something happens in the Central Plains, what is the use of the four towns of Anxi being saved?" Lei Wanchun didn't quite understand what the two sides were arguing about, and completely relied on his personal likes and dislikes to stand on Zhang Xun's side.

"If you keep the four towns, you will save the opportunity for the Central Plains to regain the Western Regions. Otherwise, once the Hui is allowed to collude with the Turks, Tibetans and cannibals from afar, the Tang Dynasty will never have peace! Li Yuanqin also refused to show weakness, and loudly said the unanimous opinion of the generals of the Anxi army.

Seeing that the two sides said a word, and I said a word, stirring up a good feast, Gao Shi hurriedly smiled and played a round, "Hehe, please calm your anger and listen to what Gao has to say." The land of Gyeonggi has not heard the sound of horn drums for nearly 30 years! The forbidden army is scattered, I'm afraid it's inevitable! But now His Majesty has been aware of this, so he entrusted General Feng to reorganize the Flying Dragon Guard, and recruit the children of the good family to join the army, and grant military positions based on their ability. Young talents like Mingyun and Shouzhi are already showing their grandeur temporarily. If this continues, within three years, the forbidden army will inevitably be reborn. Among them, those who perform well can be ordered to go to the border to make contributions. At that time, I am afraid that the arguments just now will all become groundless! ”

"That's just as well!" Zhou Xiaofeng thought about it and responded in a low voice. The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and the middle-level generals have not been able to replenish enough after being damaged. It would be happy if the talents discovered in this training, such as Wang Xun, Ma Fanghe, Yu Wenzhi, Wei Jue, etc., could be assigned by His Majesty to the Anxi Army.

"Secretary Gao's words are like an initiation!" The same words were heard in the ears of Zhang Xun and Yan Jiming, but they had another insight. The officers who have been trained by the Beijing Division Battalion will certainly not have a problem with their loyalty to the imperial court. After sending them to the border towns, they can become the eyes and ears and minions of the imperial court. Not only can it play a supervisory role in the border towns, but it can also slowly form a restraining force, so that those with different intentions will not dare to act rashly.

"So, we don't have to worry about it!" Gao Shi raised the wine cup and reminded with a smile, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to live up to the peerless singing and dancing of Gongsun and Bai Xingshou!" ”

"That's true!" Everyone immediately realized that this was not the right place to argue, and they all smiled and nodded in unison.

"Then cheers, for my Datang National Fortune!" Gao Shi seized the opportunity and proposed loudly.

"Cheers, for my Datang National Games!" The generals of the Wuwen Dynasty all put down the unhappiness caused by the argument just now, laughed and raised the wine cup,
