Chapter 331: The First Sight of the Thorn
"Only good food can live up to it".
Wang Zhu did this perfectly, maybe he did it more perfectly than perfect, not only food, as long as it can be stuffed into people's mouths, food-related things, whether it tastes good or not, he has not lived up to it.
Li Su sometimes envies Wang Zhuan, really, from Chang'an City to Xizhou, no matter how hard Wang Zhu has not said a word along the way, the only question he cares about after camping every day is what to eat tonight, after eating, he happily lies down in the camp tent, the snoring sound is earth-shattering, and the next day he continues on the road, when he is bored on a horse, he begins to wonder if he sprinkles a handful of cumin on the leg of lamb when roasting the leg of lamb at night, will it taste more beautiful......
It's just that Li Su has some doubts about Wang Zhuan's trip to Xizhou, is this guy here to make contributions, or to experience China on the tip of his tongue?
Sighing heavily, Li Su covered his face with his hands and waved his hand weakly: "You...... You'd better live well. ”
Wang Zhu was embarrassed, and he also felt a little embarrassed.
People usually have a little wisdom when they are embarrassed, or they are called "wisdom in a hurry", so the embarrassed Wang Zhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said: "In addition to eating, I still have a harvest......
"What's the catch?"
"There is a man in the unscrupulous liquor shop in the west of the city...... Very popular, every time he walked into the wine shop, others got up and saluted, looking at the dress is not an official, nor does he have the kind of bearing of an official, others call him 'Qian Fuzi', it seems that he is quite prestigious in the city, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person, that Qian Fuzi and the wine shop after greeting everyone and then left the ......"
Li Su's eyes lit up, and his gaze at Wang Zhu was full of approval, and even Jiang Quan couldn't help but glance at him.
What is it called? Fools have fortune? Or do big guys have big wisdom?
"This fish caught well, but what happened? Did you go up and talk to that Master Qian? Or track down to find out where his family lives? ”
"Nope." Wang Zhu shook his head resolutely.
"Why don't you follow?" Li Su noticed that his chest was a little tight.
"I ordered a pot of grapes and a ...... of cakes in the wine shop" Finding Li Su and Jiang Quan glaring at him with murderous eyes, Wang Zhu suddenly felt short of breath and weak in heart. The voice also became smaller, and he said weakly: "...... The money is given, and it is not appropriate to wait. ”
Li Su and Jiang Quan stood for a long time, and finally Li Su waved his hand weakly: "You go out first, I want to calm down......"
…………
Wang Zhu scratched his head and walked out of the handsome tent, and Li Su and Jiang Quan glanced at each other.
"This Qian master...... Valuable. Li Su squinted. Very insidious look.
"This man should live in the city, and he will visit him once? If a large sum of money is promised to ......"
"I really can't live, and I will 'promise a lot of money' at every turn, do you have a lot of money?" Li Su glanced at him: "As a man, sometimes it's not good to be too polite, it seems hypocritical, so he directly sent someone to rob that Qian Fuzi to the camp, whipped him dozens of whips, and then asked him about the situation in Xizhou City." I believe that everyone who should be recruited will be recruited, of course, if this person is a man, he will not recruit if he is killed......"
Jiang Quan said viciously: "Whip him dozens of more whips!" ”
"No, it's time for us to make a big deal of money to him." Li Su said sincerely, and Corporal Lixian's face was very untwitching.
Jiang Quan: "............"
This don't drive the mind...... The rhythm is too jumpy, I can't keep up.
"That Master Qian is not in a hurry to do it first, and Cao Tingshi has not returned to the city. We must not act rashly, and wait until everything is clear. ”
Jiang Quan nodded in response.
****************************************************************
It was four days of boredom in the camp outside the city. Xiang Tian sent someone to report that Cao Yu, the assassin of Xizhou, would return to the city at noon tomorrow.
Li Su was in good spirits, and the main master finally came back.
"Come on, there are five hundred axe men in ambush on the drawbridge outside the city, and I will be waiting for me to drop the cup......" Li Su looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
Jiang Quan gasped and glared at him in shock: "Don't drive Li." Are you serious? ”
"Fake."
Dead Eye has no sense of humor, and he really doesn't like to deal with him.
…………
…………
At noon the next day, Cao Yu really returned to Xizhou City.
Unlike the deserted city gate when Li Su came, Cao Yu led more than 1,000 soldiers to Xizhou, and he was still ten miles away from the city. Outside the city gate was densely packed with people, all the military and political officials in Xizhou City were wearing official uniforms, lined up in a neat queue to greet Cao Yu's car, the crowd was silent, and they were respectful.
When the spies sent by the camp reported the grand scene of the city gate to Li Su, no matter how gentle Li Su's temper was, he was also so angry that his handsome face turned green, although he was still so handsome......
Anyway, he is also a Beijing official appointed by His Majesty in Chang'an City, and he still has the title of county on his head, and these officials in Xizhou really don't use bean bags as dry food, and they deceive people too much.
Cao Yu entered the city at noon, Li Su did not go out in the camp, and when the sun set, someone finally came to the city, holding Cao Yu's name card, and invited Li Su to enter the city for a while, Li Su then wore an official uniform, led Jiang Quan Wang Zheng Xiaolou, and selected more than 100 knights from the cavalry to serve as an entourage, and the group stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun, and slowly entered the city.
The Thorn Mansion is located in the middle of Xizhou City, facing east and west, and the gate is facing the direction of Chang'an City in the east, to show loyalty to the emperor and the imperial court.
The city is simple, there are only two avenues in total, one vertical and one horizontal, just from the intersection of the Thorn Mansion, and the rest are all dwellings.
Li Su walked through the city gate with an expressionless face, went straight to the Assassin's Mansion, and looked up at the mansion.
The Thorn Mansion was not as bright and luxurious as he imagined, in fact it was not very big, in comparison, Li Su's house in Taiping Village was much higher grade than this Thorn Mansion in comparison.
The front door was bare, and there were a dozen or so guards standing lazily at the door, and a plaque with paint peeling on the lintel, and nothing else.
Li Su walked to the door, handed over the name card, and walked out of the side door with a domestic servant, respectfully inviting Li Su in.
Stepping into the threshold, there is a high wall of the wall, bypassing the wall is a quiet front yard, the front yard is still bare, unlike other large families like the yard full of trees and flowers and plants, in fact, the geographical environment and soil of the desert, basically can not grow any green plants, as for the common rockery and pond in the courtyard of ordinary large households, it is not easy to appear here.
The empty front yard is surrounded by a fenced corridor, through the corridor is the front hall of the Assassin's Mansion, the front hall here is not a place to entertain guests, in fact, the Assassin's Mansion is not exactly the residence of the Assassin's History, more importantly, it is an official office, and it is the place where officials of all sizes in this city clock in to work every day to deal with official business.
The servant led Li Sujing through the front hall, and behind the front hall was the place where Thorn Shi and his family lived privately, and Cao Yu's guests were usually here.
In an accord on the west side of the backyard, Li Su finally met the chief official of Xizhou, Assassin Shi Cao Yu.
Taking off his shoes before the entrance, Li Su stepped on the floor that was a little awkward and took a few quick steps, and saluted Cao Yu as a subordinate official.
"Xiaguan's new Xizhou don't drive Li Su, meet Cao Tingshi." After speaking, Li Su threw a long swipe to the ground.
Cao Yu stood up and saluted back: "Li Bei drove all the way to the hard work, this official led the troops to rescue Jiaohe County a few days ago, treat Li Bei Drive, and hope that Don't drive to your heart." ”
Li Sulian said, "How dare you", and after the guests and hosts greeted each other, they each sat down.
It was only then that Li Su had time to raise his head and look directly at Cao Yu.
Cao Yu is about forty years old, his body is thin, his face is even clearer, he has a three-inch clear beard under his chin, he sits behind the table without squinting, he is not angry and self-assured, just looking at his appearance, he is a rare middle-aged handsome guy, and the appearance of a serious scholar.
While Li Su was looking at Cao Yu, Cao Yu was also looking at him.
In front of him, the other driver who was transferred from Chang'an, it is never an exaggeration to say that he is a teenager, he is more than ten years old, his eyes are clear, smiling, gentle and polite, just looking at his appearance and bearing, it is clear that he is the leisurely appearance of a child of a thousand-year-old family who left home to play and see, and he has the romantic appearance of a young man.
Xizhou is located in a remote area, and the news is closed, even though Li Su has made a great reputation in Chang'an, but the officials and people of Xizhou have never heard of his name.
The more Cao Yu looked, the more surprised he became, this teenage boy ...... How could it be that His Majesty personally appointed Xizhou Beijia?
