Chapter 1004: Retreat to the Mountains and Forests
Lan Ziyi looked at Gao Yanzong and said:
"I must live up to the high expectations."
Who knew that as soon as Lan Ziyi finished speaking, Zhang Yanwu suddenly laughed. Since he went upstairs again, Zhang Yanwu has been pouring himself wine, cup after cup, and he was a little drunk at this time. Seeing Lan Ziyi, Zhang Yanwu smiled and said:
"Don't blame you, I just suddenly figured out something."
Lan Ziyi asked:
"What did Zhang Hou understand?"
Zhang Yanwu sighed and said:
"I finally understood why my grandfather wanted me to go into retreat."
Lan Ziyi seemed to have known the intention of Zhang Yanwu's words, and he just smiled lightly after hearing Zhang Yanwu speak:
"Taiwei is both wise and brave, and he has always seen things longer than others, Zhang Hou has seen the meaning of Taiwei clearly, which shows that your wisdom has also improved."
Zhang Yanwu poured himself another full glass, and he smiled bitterly:
"If I had my grandfather's eyes, then I shouldn't have listened to you before."
Li Minchun, who was sitting next to Zhang Yanwu, raised his hand and pressed Zhang Yanwu's arm when he heard this, and he smiled:
"Zhang Hou, you've drunk too much."
Zhang Yanwu pushed away Li Minchun's arm and said:
"Li Shizi, you have never asked about the world in the past few years, then I advise you not to get involved in the bad things in the capital in the future, this matter is mixed with no one's back, and no one can escape."
Lan Ziyi heard this:
"Zhang Hou, you and my brother, if you have anything to say, please say it directly, I won't do anything to you if it sounds good or not."
Zhang Yanwu raised his head and drank another glass, he slapped the cup on the table heavily, and then said:
"Okay, Wei Hou, since you let me say it directly, then I'll make it clear. Wei Hou, it is not easy to say that the affairs of our Dazheng are simple, and the contacts between the yamen, the governors, and the palace of the feudal town are not clear. But to say that it is complicated, in fact, there is not much trouble, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a sentence, who does whose business is intrigued, and the adults who have won the jinshi, the little eunuch who serves the emperor's own palace, you and I military generals only need to care about the knife in their hands, the enemy in front of them, and if you manage too much, you will lose your head! ”
Lan Ziyi smiled and took a sip of wine, he put down the wine glass and said softly:
"Zhang Hou, I understand what you mean, but it is impossible for people to only make knives, people can forget their brains, but they will never grow brains, as long as they grow this brain, how can people feel at ease to make a knife?"
Zhang Yanwu shook his head and said:
"Ziyi, the court has given the generals a way out, and when the battle is enough, you can do a good job and return to your hometown, and when the time comes, you can be a person as you want, and you can open your brain as much as you want."
Lan Ziyi said:
"It's just hidden in the snow, and after all, I still can't escape the life of the knife."
Zhang Yanwu sighed:
"I know I said I don't move, but I can at least move myself. Yanwu Xiuwen, I finally understand what my grandfather meant by letting me abandon martial arts. It's a pity that I didn't have the luck to take the imperial examination, and I don't like the intrigue of being an official. Now that I have finally won the title of Lord Wu for myself, I can live with peace of mind. This is the last time I will drink with you, and tomorrow I will go back to retreat and retreat, and please don't bother me again. ”
Zhang Yanwu's words revealed a desolation that was difficult to hide, the snow outside the window was bleak, and the meal was already cold by now. Lanzi
Yi sighed lightly and raised his glass, he said to Zhang Yanwu:
"Zhang Hou is elegant, quite a lieutenant, Ziyi is unattainable, come, I will toast Zhang Hou again."
Zhang Yanwu raised his wine glass and said to Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, I hope you and I can continue to be brothers in the future."
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"That's for sure, you and I will always be brothers."
After that, the two drank their wine, and the others drank together. The residual wine is exhausted, and everyone knows that it is time to end, everyone got up tacitly, went out tacitly, and finally went downstairs together, without saying a word throughout the whole process. The soldiers downstairs were still clinking glasses and punching, and when they saw the table above going downstairs, the soldiers were very surprised, but in the final analysis, they were officials, they were soldiers, and they couldn't stay anymore when they came down, so the soldiers had to return to their respective teams, leaving a table full of leftovers.
Because it was Lan Ziyi and Li Minchun who were the east, the two also sent the other three away first, Li Guangzhong told Lan Ziyi before leaving, he would definitely visit the door another day, and Gao Yanzong invited Lan Ziyi to have another drink on a good day, as for Zhang Yanwu, he persuaded Lan Ziyi:
"The winter days are short, and the road is closed by heavy snow, so Wei Hou should also return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Lan Ziyi said:
"I wanted to go back to Beijing with you, but none of you were willing."
Zhang Yanwu said:
"We have to go back to the camp separately, put down the things first, and the soft ones I have laid down should be sent directly to my grandfather's village."
After saying that, Zhang Yanwu ordered his subordinates to turn around and send the team to Zhangjiazhuang, and Lan Ziyi didn't say anything more. After bidding farewell to the three of them, Lan Ziyi and Li Minchun should also leave, and the servants of the Li family escorted the carriage to the road, and someone reported to Li Minchun and said:
"Your Highness, the stove has been prepared for you, get in the car."
Lan Ziyi went to see Li Minchun's car, it was really a big car, only a little smaller than the prince, and the other gold carvings and jade ornaments, brocade mantles and silk tents were no worse than those of the Taizheng royal family. Li Minchun glanced at Lan Ziyi after winning Bingming, and after a little thought, he ordered his subordinates to be humane;
"No need, such a good snow scene today, I'll ride a horse to accompany the guards to enjoy the snow."
Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this, and then he signed a horse from his subordinates and handed it to Li Minchun:
"Then Your Highness will have to go with me in the snow."
Saying that, the two got on the horse, and the peach and rabbit were on guard at the back of the two, and the rest of the team followed behind the peach and rabbit. Lan Ziyi and Li Minchun took the lead in the forefront, the snow rustled under the trampling of the horses' hooves, and the horses occasionally snorted, which provoked the frozen birds in the forest to fly to the sky, and the mountains, forests and fields had already been covered with snow, and the time was getting late, and the snow blanket between the sky and the earth became more and more silvery.
Li Minchun looked at the scenery on the side of the road and said:
"I haven't seen such a big snow in the capital for many years, and this snow scene really makes me miss the scenery of my hometown."
Lan Ziyi said:
"I spent the winter in the capital for the first time this year, and I don't have as much homesickness as your Highness."
Speaking of this, Lan Ziyi suddenly remembered something, and he asked Li Minchun:
"Your Highness, you miss your homeland so much, so when will you be able to return to Silla?"
Li Minchun smiled:
"It stands to reason that I have to wait until my father is sick before I can go back, but for the sake of the stability of the court, I can usually leave when my father is sick."
Lan Ziyi sighed:
"Your Highness is also hard."
Li Minchun shook his head and said:
"It's not hard, it's just that I'm willing to stay in the capital. The longer I stayed, the more reassuring the court became about Silla. ”
Speaking of which, Li Minchun said to Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou really didn't lie to me, you really didn't harm me, you just hurt Qi Hou."
