Chapter 1: The Feather Cloak (Part 7b)
Chapter 1: Feather Cloak (Seven Below)
There is a way that jade will not touch the tiles. Even if he has offended himself, as the prime minister of the dynasty, Li Linfu has to deal with a small six-rank captain, why do he need to spend so much time? Reasonable, this can't be justified! But the expressions on the faces of the two high-ranking officials in Zhu Yi clearly confirmed that Gao Lishi's guess was not wrong at all!
Just when he was puzzled, Wang Xun suddenly heard Gao Lishi scolding with a smile: "Okay, little rabbit, don't pretend to be dead." The outsiders have already left, hurry up and talk to our family! ”
"Thank you, General!" Wang Xun shook the spirit, immediately rolled off the shoulders of the gold-armored guards, and saluted Captain Gaolis.
"You're a little thing, you're not stupid!" Gao Lishi pursed his lips and scolded with a smile, "When you get into trouble, why don't you know how important it is?!" ”
"Subordinate, subordinate was forced by them yesterday!" Of course, Wang Xun didn't dare to say that he had drunk too much, so he borrowed wine to go crazy. I had to smile and explain in a low voice.
"Urgent? That's a good reason! Gao Lishi's eyes suddenly lit up, like a knife, and pierced directly into Wang Xun's heart. Do you know why our family is beating you today? When you were under Lao Feng's hands, you haven't suffered this kind of hardship, have you? Jade can't be cut, he's just too used to you! ”
"Nope!" Wang Xun shook his head and honestly admitted. Then he grinned and said with a smile: "The general's grace of today's protection, the younger generation must keep it firmly in mind." Since those two dog officials dared to come to the door, they must have some support behind them. The Great General......"
Before he finished speaking, Gao Lishi immediately interrupted impatiently, "Come on, drag it out, and give our family another fifty military sticks." This time, you are not allowed to wait for favoritism! ”
"Yes!" The guards on the left and right agreed, and pounced forward. Seeing this, Wang Xun hurriedly begged for mercy: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life." The subordinates know that they are wrong, they know that they are wrong! ”
"Got it, what's wrong?" Colliers asked with a smile as he reprimanded his own soldiers.
Furious by the old eunuch's smile, Wang Xun first searched his intestines and thought for a while, and then responded stiffly, "Subordinates shouldn't have such heavy hands." No, no, subordinates shouldn't be making trouble for the general. No, no, the subordinates shouldn't have eavesdropped on the general's words just now, and then pondered without permission....."
"Phew!" Colliers spat heavily, his face full of disdain, "Stupid, really stupid." I really don't know why Lao Feng appreciates you kid so much. Our family usually behaves rightly and walks straight, but are we still afraid of the two dogs released by others? They are so happy, as long as our family is not happy, they will beat them out with a military stick! Our family is beating you, kid doesn't know how thick the sky is, nosy! If someone else makes trouble or not, does it hurt anyone, what does it matter to you? chased people out of the house for more than a mile behind his back, and actually found a bad excuse for being forced to be anxious! Why did they force you, chasing you on horseback, or did they all have a third eye behind their backs? ”
"Subordinate, subordinate knows it's wrong!" The lie was exposed on the spot, and Wang Xun unconsciously blushed. "But, but they ......"
"They hurt people at the entrance of the East City, and naturally there is a Wannian county management. If Wannian County can't manage it, there will be Jingzhao Yin Yamen and Dali Temple above! When will it be your turn to be eventful? If you don't weigh your own catties, you will be stronger, and you think your life is long, isn't it? In the Suzaku Gate, there are still many places that His Majesty can't take care of, and you can take care of it if you have the ability! (Note 1)
"Subordinate, subordinate......" Wang Xun was scolded and sweaty, and couldn't find a suitable word to respond for a long time. Gao Lishi knew that he might not be convinced, so he slowed down his tone a little and said loudly: "The most important thing in the world is order. Civil and military generals, gentry and common people, each in his own place, each in his own duties. Don't mess with things you shouldn't be in charge of. Otherwise, you will also step forward and say a few words, and I will also step forward and intervene, and the world will be in chaos. ”
"The subordinates are reckless, thank you for the general's teaching!" Although he felt that he was right to teach a few evil lessons, reading that the boss was out of kindness, Wang Xun respectfully thanked him.
Seeing that his attitude was so modest, the already small amount of anger in Gao Lishi's heart dispersed a little, shook his head, and said softly: "There is a righteousness hidden in the hearts of young people, which is a good thing. But we must not forget our duty. Our family has followed His Majesty for so many years, and we have never made any big mistakes, just because we always remember the words 'don't meddle'. You are the person Lao Feng tried his best to promote, don't let him down, and don't live up to your father's expectations of you! ”
"Juniors don't dare!" Wang Xun wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and responded with the attitude of a junior to an elder.
"There's been chaos outside lately, don't run around if you're fine." Gao Lishi smiled and put on a tone of his own, "Honestly give our family a month of cats in the barracks." Every day, on time, lead the team to practice. Although there are not many people in this White Horse Fort camp, there are countless pairs of eyes staring outside! ”
Stay in the barracks for a month and not be allowed to go home? It means that you can't grind with Xiao Ziluo's ears and temples, you can't go to the cockfighting arena to shout and cheer, and you can't find Bai Jingzhi Qingqing and me to ......., this punishment is too severe! But the general has already said this, and Wang Xun can't muster up the courage to refuse if he wants to. had to bow down to receive the order, and then retreated.
Fortunately, Gao Lishi didn't have time to stare at White Horse Fort every day, and his immediate boss Chen Xuanli knew to be considerate of his subordinates. understands that a person like Wang Xun, if he is suffocated in the barracks every day, he will definitely be suffocated out of the horns, so he tries to arrange as many outmissions as possible for him.
The so-called external errand is nothing more than dredging and dredging sewage canals on rainy days, leading teams to fight fires when walking water, and clearing the field for His Majesty the Emperor and which prince, etc., is not difficult, and it is easy to be in the limelight. Wang Xun once led a team to clean up the snow on the road leading to Lishan Xinggong last year and got a lot of credit.
He is straightforward, generous, and doesn't like to put on a shelf of a chief, and after half a month, he also mingles with the new and old brothers under his command. Many young and playful low-ranking officers in White Horse Fort regarded it as a good thing to follow Captain Wang on a mission, and they rushed to do it.
At the end of summer, there were several heavy rains in Jingshili, and the water level of Qujiang Pond was in danger of overflowing. In order to ensure that the capital was foolproof, Chen Xuanli asked Wang Xun and several other officers who were familiar with the Beijing division to take turns on duty, guarding the poolside day and night. It's not that difficult, it's just a bit of a drain. After a long time, the Wyvern Guards were a little idle, and they began to have fun for themselves around.
can occupy one acre and three points of land by the Qujiang Pond, and the background will definitely not be too shallow. Wang Xun didn't want to be beaten by Gao Lishi anymore, so he patrolled back and forth from morning to night, and gave thousands of instructions to the brothers. The brethren were so annoyed by the admonition that they said perfunctorily: "All right, Lord Captain! Rest assured, we know how to take proportions. The Prime Minister's Concierge, you just borrowed the courage of the three of us, and we didn't dare to cause trouble for you in this kind of place! ”
"It's just you, it's no wonder I can rest assured! It wasn't anyone a few days ago, and it almost startled King Xue's mount! Wang Xun shrugged and pointed at a few lawless guys and shouted.
"Aren't we also serious and responsible? In the middle of the night, his old man didn't even bring his entourage, and he rode a horse and wandered outside. Those who know believe that he is the prince of our Tang Dynasty, but those who don't know, they think that they are thieves who pry the door in the middle of the night! After a long time with Wang Xun, the guards also figured out his temper, smiled, and dealt with it aggressively.
"Just wait? Fill less garlic. If it's a thief, I don't know who catches whom! Wang Xun pouted angrily, not believing the other party's explanation at all.
"What if I can catch a thief? Captain, do you want me to wait until Pingkangli to open my eyes? Fang Ziling, the team leader, had the most cordial relationship with Wang Xun, and came to the front and asked with a smile.
", unless any thief gets impatient and ties his hands and feet and sends it to you!" Wang Xun kicked the opponent's ass and kicked the opponent far away.
"We, we really saw a thief the night before yesterday. If you don't believe me, can you ask Lao Zheng, and Lao Zhu? If it is a lie, the sky will thunder! Fang Ziling covered his buttocks with one hand, jumped and swore a curse.
Seeing that what the other party said didn't look like a fake, Wang Xun couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, "The evening before yesterday?" Then why didn't you catch him?! ”
"Yes, what kind of thief. What kind of ......" Fang Ziling smiled evilly, and mysteriously came over again, "No, steal, steal, steal, steal, steal." You know? It's in that big mansion with a lot of willow trees in the backyard. The evening before yesterday, as soon as it was dark, a man came to the back door of the house in a pale blue carriage, and was then led in by a little maid. Then the coachman drove the carriage and went away on his own. Lao Zheng thought to me that they were secretive and secretly climbed the wall to see. I found that the man and a noble lady were hugging each other and crying, and my heart was so desolate! ”
"Which side? There are willow trees in the backyards of every house in this area," Wang Xun was slightly stunned and asked casually.
"Over there, the one that planted the most!" Fang Ziling was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he stretched out his finger to signal to Wang Xun.
"She ......." Wang Xun's brows twisted into a pimple, if I remember correctly, it should be Mrs. Qiu's mansion. Mrs. Qiuguo's fame is full of Chang'an, as long as both parties are willing, which man do you want to be the guest of the scene? Why sneak in through the back door and hug each other and cry? ”
"Does the Captain know whose mansion it is?" Seeing that Wang Xun's expression was wrong, Fang Ziling hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.
"I don't know!" Wang Xun shook his head in denial. "But General Gao said, let us be nosy!"
Having said that, he could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart. As early as before, I had vaguely guessed that there seemed to be some entanglement between Mrs. Qiu Guo and Lei Wanchun. But with Lei Wanchun's personality, he would never sneak through the back door to visit a woman. will not be so weak as to hug each other and cry bitterly.
"Of course we have to obey the general's words." Fang Ziling said casually, "But the male owner of that family is also a little stupid." My wife was stolen, and I didn't even notice it! ”
"Alright, don't chew your tongue. Say hello to Lao Zheng and Lao Zhu, don't spread the word about this. Wang Xun put away his smile and commanded solemnly. Then, like a ghost, he asked, "What does that man look like?" It's strong, taller than me or shorter than me! ”
"There's no comparison to you!" Fang Ziling glanced at Wang Xun and smiled cheaply, "His size is also up to your shoulders." Skinny like a tuberculosis ghost. I don't know which point to win, but I actually put a court wife on my hand. But that woman is really good-looking, so far away, she almost didn't see Lao Zheng's soul flying! Tsk, a flower is stuck in cow dung, it's a bit of a pity. You are almost the same after changing the captain, you have to look good, you have to have physical strength......."
"Get out!" Wang Xun was about to kick, but the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. It's not Brother Lei, he is a bright person, and he will never do such a boring thing. So who could it be? Could it be that the concerned eyes that Mrs. Qiu Guo inadvertently revealed that day were really pretended?
At this moment, the sun has set, and the lake is becoming more and more populated. As far as the eye can see, a wave of smoke supports several dance pavilions, and there is an indescribable taste. Wang Xun didn't want to worry about Mrs. Qiuguo's affairs anymore, so he turned around and walked towards his mount. Just walked a few steps, and before he could pull the reins of the horse, Fang Ziling's mysterious voice came from behind him, "Here, here." It was about the same time. You see, it's that pale cyan carriage, and you see, it's the back door again, it's in, it's in.! ”
"Don't ...... too many of you," Wang Xun frowned and scolded in a low voice. Before the words fell, he saw several horses galloping across the official road not far away, and the people on the horses were surrounded by a purple-robed official, who was imposing.
"Yang Guozhong, why is he here too?" With the impression left by the "counterinsurgency" with the Jiannan Jiedu Tooth Team that day, Wang Xun recognized the big man in the purple robe on horseback. "Are you here to catch your sister's adulterer? Or ......"
Looking back, he found that Fang Ziling and the others had already tiptoed towards someone else's backyard wall. Hurriedly chased a few steps, and ordered in a low voice, "You guys, all hide away for me." Don't mess around. Lao Zheng, you are on guard here, and no one is allowed to peek again. Ziling, lead my horse to the water's edge to drink......"
After a series of orders were issued, several subordinates looked at each other. In a trance, I saw my own captain tiptoe close to the courtyard wall, gently plucked his hands, and poked his head over!
