Chapter 196: Chasing the North (45)
The sound of boots echoed through the porch.
A young man in a curved square-collared robe was striding through the porch.
This is the residence of Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, and it was originally the residence of a large family in Jinyang City. Since Tang Guogong came, this wealthy but not too high-ranking family gave up this mansion and moved to a country manor by himself.
This young man is Li Shimin's brother-in-law, the eldest grandson Wuji.
In this Jinyang City, under the completion of the gate, the children of the high gate flock to it. It is rumored that Tang Guogong will put the soldiers and horses of the Yiying Yang Mansion under the command of Jiancheng, and the generals of the three major Yingyang Mansions will visit Jiancheng in private, patting their chests and swearing that if they are fortunate enough to be placed under the command of Jiancheng, they should serve loyally and die without turning their heels.
Tang Guogong is a good old man, and he is a little suspicious of neglect. At this moment, he leaves many things to his children. Moreover, the age of Tang Guogong is also here, if the Li family turns the family into a country in the future, then everyone wants to establish a gate valve and enjoy wealth and prosperity, most of them have to fall into the hands of the built. Tang Guogong is a tolerant person, if you don't hurry up to show favor at this time, when will you wait?
Jiancheng has done his best to deal with these high-ranking disciples, and he is steady, courteous and virtuous, and the benefits are never stingy to share the profits.
After Tang Guogong entered Jinyang, it turned out that there were dozens of imperial villages outside Jinyang City, all of which were the fat powder fields of the princess of the Yang family. Although Tang Guogong did enough not to enter Jinyang Palace, he abided by the posture of a courtier. But secretly, he honestly and unceremoniously took all these imperial houses in his hands and handed them over to Li Jiancheng to distribute and deal with.
If you want to win the world, in addition to your birth and status, you should get the status of wealth and goods to drive away the dog. Although Tang Guogong's benevolent reputation is known all over the world, he still has a clear understanding of this matter.
Li Jiancheng did not lose any benefit for himself in this matter, and Huangzhuang scored three points. One share is for the parents and elders, one share for his brothers and sisters, and one share is for the children of the family who followed the Li family to Jinyang.
He also sent people to arrest and flee the Huangzhuang households, handed them over to each family, and let them dispose of them.
In such a world, how can he not be loved by his parents, loved by his brothers and sisters, and not attracted the followers of the world's high-ranking families?
In the entire Jinyang City, there is also an equally outstanding son of the Li family, the son of the gate valve who plays for Erlang Li Shimin. There is only his brother-in-law, the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson's family, Wuji. At most, there is one Li Yan, the seventeenth daughter of the Li family, who likes to fight unevenly and has a somewhat eccentric temperament.
In the loud sound of boots, the eldest grandson Wuji had already entered the side courtyard of Li Shimin's daily study director, and before entering the courtyard gate, he heard the sound of the sword wind whistling.
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and smiled bitterly, since Erlang was praised by Tang Guogong for forging ahead, these days he has been practicing martial arts from time to time, and he seems to want to be a vanguard and fierce general, and make a world for himself in martial arts.
Erlang didn't want to think about it, the soldiers were all built by Tang Guogonghe, even if Erlang had the ability, where would there be an army to listen to his orders? It's better to put more effort into winning over the hearts of the family.
Although it seems that Erlang is definitely not comparable to the construction in this regard. But as long as you persevere, it is difficult to guarantee that Jiancheng will not be arrogant in the future, and at that time, maybe it will be Erlang's opportunity!
But this Erlang............
While thinking about his own thoughts, the eldest grandson Wuji moved into the courtyard with his feet. There was a general on duty outside the courtyard, and when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji coming over, he bowed and saluted, and the eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand casually to signal them to retreat.
In the courtyard, it can be seen that the original courtyard has been paved into a martial arts arena, with weapon racks on all sides, and a thick loess pad in the middle, sprinkled with water every day to suppress the dust.
Li Shimin was wearing a narrow-sleeved beard and leather belt, holding a heavy one-handed sword, and pressing the wrist of the swordsman with his left hand. The body is half-squatting, and the crab step posture is posed. The one-handed long sword followed the crab's steps and probed, stabbing towards the next three paths.
Beside Li Shimin, there was a figure who looked like an old soldier, dressed in a general's brocade clothes, and pointed out from time to time: "Erlang, squat lower!" On the top of the head are two armies of spears and thorns, and if you are taller, you will become a hedgehog! It's a hand-to-hand fight under a spear array! You have to hide within the range of your spear array all the time, and if you venture a little, it's a dead word! ”
Speaking of the future, the general of the family has already been full of voices: "If you think that there is a spear array above your head!" Otherwise, it's all in vain! ”
Li Shimin's face was already covered with beads of sweat, his expression was serious, his body was lowered, and every time the long sword stabbed, there was a sound of wind, and he practiced seriously, and he didn't mean to be lazy at all.
The eldest grandson Wuji stood outside the school yard and snorted: "When it is your turn to stand in the front row of the spear array, the Li family will not be far from destruction." What's the use of practicing these? Erlang, look at Shizi, can you work this? ”
The general was busy saluting the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat. Li Shimin got up with a smile, and his own general stepped forward to take the long sword and handed over a square towel to wipe his sweat. Li Shimin moved his sore wrists, wiped the sweat on his face, and smiled at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Auxiliary, what are you doing here?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sneered: "If you don't come, see who is still worried about Erlang's affairs?" But don't you know that Guogong is going to send Erlang to Mayi County? ”
Li Shimin smiled: "How can a certain news be so ill-informed? Naturally, I heard a little wind. But my father hasn't made a final decision yet. Isn't this a hurry to practice martial arts, saving you from losing your life in the hands of the world-famous Ma Yi elite soldiers, and then it will be the face of the Li family that will be lost! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji still sneered: "I'm afraid that the seventeenth sister told you?" In this Jinyang City, apart from a certain and her, who else is facing you? ”
Seeing that Li Shimin just smiled and didn't speak, the eldest grandson Wuji fell to his feet and sighed: "Erlang, why don't you take this as a thing?" Now go to find Tang Guogong, and say that he is willing to follow Tang Guogong to the west to conquer Chang'an, and he does not want to leave Guogong. Guogong is a good talker, go and talk about it, it is really impossible to find Erlang your mother, there is always a six or seven points to grasp that he will go to Chang'an with Guogong. What are you doing in this mansion? ”
Li Shimin silently put down the square scarf and walked a few steps with his hands in his hands. He looks six or seven points similar to Jiancheng, but the edges and corners are more distinct, and when he is silent, there is a more stubborn atmosphere. Looks more like a martial artist than a graceful and generous son.
"Auxiliary, even if you can follow the expedition to Chang'an, are there any soldiers and horses under your command who listen to my orders? Isn't my brother guarding me like a thief? Don't you think that going out of the town is an opportunity to master a soldier and horse? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji asked coldly: "Even if you miss the opportunity to capture Chang'an and make a contribution to the dragon?" Erlang, have you figured it out? ”
Li Shimin waved his hand fiercely: "It's better than looking at my brother's face!" ”
