Chapter 617: Returning Home
Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin's personalities are different, Cheng Biting Jin walked a fierce routine, marching or attacking the city and plundering the village, and even robbing the house with a flying and domineering posture, and after the robbery, he told you confidently that this time the robbery was not satisfactory, and next time he saved more, it instantly made people feel that they had become his tenants inexplicably, and it was a matter of course to be rented by the Cheng family, and I don't know where this idea of self-inflicted cheapness came from.
Li Ji is different, Li Ji is more faceless, even if he is worried about your things, he will not rob them, he will only sour and sour a few words of sarcasm, and wait until the person concerned is so sarcastic that his face is red, and he is willing to give the things he is worried about with both hands, Li Ji is unwilling to accept it reluctantly, and the person who sent the thing still inexplicably feels that he owes the favor of the boss of the family, and he can't wait to send more to repay it......
They are all old foxes, and they all have a strong strength to force people to make cheap mistakes, Li Su feels that it is too tiring to deal with these famous generals, Su Lao or something, and he basically can't take advantage of these old killers, and every time he chats with them, he has a sense of loss that has been ransacked.
Although they were all looted, for some reason, Li Su always felt that Li Ji's soft knife cut alive made him even more ...... Pleasure?
Maybe I was infected by Li Zhi, I feel that I don't want to be cheap......
He was born with a Confucian temperament, a burly figure, but his face was gentle and full of poetry and books, which made people feel close to him from the heart, and he was willing to associate with him as if he was a relative, even if this relative robbed him with a knife with a smile.
The feeling of riding on the back of the horse is not pleasant, in addition to the bumps, what is more uncomfortable is that the sides of the thighs continue to grind and grind on the saddle with the undulations of the horse's back, and the horses that ride for a day must have blisters on the inner thighs.
A black object fell on the top of Li Su's head, accompanied by a disdainful snort.
"Pick it up, put it on the saddle, soft and very, say that it is a young hero who is both civil and military, the outside is evil, that is I have never seen you riding a horse, the long-distance march seems simple, there are many Taoists inside, you, enough to learn." Li Ji snorted.
In Li Su's hand is a black bear skin, very thick, and the whole skin is intact, there is not a single arrow eye, it can be seen that the bear hunter has a good archery, either directly shot the black bear in the eye, or poked it...... Chrysanthemum?
Gratefully grinning at Li Ji, Li Su couldn't put it down and stroked the bear skin for a while, and finally put it under his saddle, Li Ji smiled with satisfaction, Li Su's eyes were sharp, and he found that the head of the guard next to Li Ji was reluctant, and he stopped talking, and was slapped away by Li Ji, and he hung his head honestly and did not squeak.
Li Su couldn't help but become more and more grateful, and could see that this bear skin was Li Ji's treasure, maybe this bear was hunted by him, and now he threw it away casually and threw it to himself as an ordinary thing.
are all real people, although the elite circle will inevitably have some messy pickles, but these famous generals are all straightforward and heroic, and treat people sincerely, even the old hooligan surnamed Cheng, who ran rampant in Chang'an with the image of a bully, did not disappoint Li Su when he asked him for help when Li Su was in the most difficult time.
"Thank you Uncle Li for your generous gift, the kid is ashamed." Li Su grinned at Li Ji.
The elders give it, don't dare to resign, humility also depends on the time and occasion, if Li Ji's treasures are let back by Li Suqian, he will be crazy immediately if he can't keep it, Li Su doesn't want to spoil the beautiful atmosphere in front of him.
Li Ji nodded with satisfaction, stroked his long beard, and said slowly: "To pacify the Jinyang Rebellion, the old man didn't interfere much, this is the meaning of the above, understand?" Your Majesty has a secret decree, this matter is at your disposal and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but the old man is from the beginning to the end, I have to say, you did a good job, change the old man to deal with this matter, I am afraid that the ending can not be so good, whether it is the chaotic people, or the gate valve, after all, a large number of people will die, maybe add fuel to the fire, provoke the entire Jin land to be in chaos, and you, did not kill the chaotic people, and did not do anything to the gate valve, there are both thunder means, there is also Ganlin Pu Fall, and even the elimination of the chaos is calmed down, this point, the old man is afraid that it is not as good as you......"
Li Su opened his mouth and just wanted to be modest, and then thought that Li Ji had taught him a lesson just now that he didn't have to be too modest, so he had to echo: "Yes, yes, the kid also thinks he is very good......
Li Ji's face darkened, he took a deep breath, forced himself to press the urge to smoke him, and said slowly: "When the old man farted just now, baby, let's be humble when it's time to be humble." ”
Li Su hurriedly said: "Uncle Li is right, Uncle is really falsely praised, it's all the boy's luck, it's just a mistake." ”
Li Ji raised his eyebrows with interest: "Modesty also has a discipline, and you can say one, two, three, or you are hypocritical, baby, tell me, where are you lucky?" ”
Li Su sighed: "This matter involves the local gate valve in Jinyang, and even the seven sects and five surnames are involved, to be honest, the kid had such a vague idea when he left Chang'an by order...... Now is the prosperous age of Zhenguan, saying that it is a 'prosperous age', of course, it is a bit exaggerated, but it is undeniable that now is an era of kings and saints, both civil and military, the people are simple and industrious, no matter where, the benevolence of the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an are praised, although there is a disaster every year, but the disaster is destined, and it can't be pushed to His Majesty if it is a disaster? The people of the Tang Dynasty that I know are not so unreasonable, so the rumors are boiling in Jinyang, first of all, I have doubts, the rumors suddenly spread in Jinyang, behind it must be a person with great appeal and incitement and human and financial resources to do it, let me ask in Jinyang locally, in addition to the government, who has such a hand to cover the sky? ”
Li Ji narrowed his eyes: "So, since you left Chang'an, you suspected that it was the gate valve?" ”
Li Su smiled: "I didn't expect it at the time, to be honest, I didn't dare to think about it, Uncle Li, you are much more knowledgeable than the kid, so you naturally know what kind of situation those gate valves are in the Tang Dynasty, it's not too much to say that you are behemoths, right?" Whenever there are troubled times, those who ascend to the heights and respond to the gathering, must be the people in the gate valve, even Emperor Gaozu and His Majesty have to give three points to the seven sects and five surnames after the establishment of the country, I am just a small county marquis, there are no soldiers in my hands, I didn't dare to think about the gate valve when I left Chang'an, until later, I went to Jinzhou with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and saw someone mixed in the crowd of people to spread rumors, inciting the people to fight against the government, at that time the history of Jinzhou assassination was in the crowd of the people, that scene finally made me suspicious of the gate valve......"
Shaking his head, Li Su sighed: "Too bold and reckless, dare to openly incite demagoguery in front of the assassin history, ordinary small groups of anti-thieves or bandits and the like don't have the courage and confidence to do this, the thief sees the official, he should be born with a little bit of weakness, how can there be a hard head to do it against the official?" So at that time, I felt that the chaos in Jindi was probably not something that a small group of anti-thieves or bandits could do, and there must be a force that could compete with the local government in the future, and the chaos in Jindi would be out of control. ”
Li Ji nodded, his eyes full of approval: "So, when you were in Jinju, you suspected that it was the gate valve?" And then decided to get to the bottom of the matter? ”
Li Su sighed: "Uncle Li is wrong again...... At that time, after suspecting that it might be the door valve's doing, my first thought was to leave for Chang'an immediately...... If the errand is messed up, Your Majesty will at most remove me from his post and remove me, right? Won't cut off my head, will you? But if I continue to investigate this matter, I may not even be able to save my head......"
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Li Su's nose and scolded with a smile: "Unproductive cowardice, the old man is going to praise you for not being afraid of danger and not panicking in case of chaos, but you yourself are deflated first, and you can't export the praise of the old man with a stomach." ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Don't boast, really, the kid is actually a layman, you have to be afraid when you should be afraid, you have to run when you should run, you haven't done anything to forget your righteousness, you are ashamed for a while and then blame yourself for a while, you still live the same life after the momentum, maybe you will continue to do it when you should see profit and forget your righteousness next time, the kid is actually no different from the ordinary Shengdou Xiaomin." ”
Li Ji didn't know whether to praise or scold him, he pondered for a moment, sighed and said: "In the end, it is a young man, live a true life, and the words are true, being a man should be such a way of living, the good people in the world also have bad problems, and the bad people are not necessarily really bad, there are more good places than bad places, this person can be regarded as a good person, since you wanted to run at that time, why did you stay and decide to continue to Jinyang?" ”
Li Su sighed: "As Uncle Li said, the kid is too good to be pure, and the bad is not completely bad, this is the most failed place for the kid to be a man in his life, at that time the kid really wanted to run back to Chang'an, but ...... Who told me to have an extra King of Jin by my side? The kid is just a county marquis, he hid in advance, at most he didn't eat this imperial grain, and the whole family couldn't starve to death, but if he left His Royal Highness the King of Jin, a child of more than ten years old, can he be expected to quell the rebellion in Jinyang? Maybe even his life will be lost in Jinyang, so the kid can't run, he can't run, and if he wants to run, he should pull His Royal Highness the King of Jin to run together, His Royal Highness the King of Jin refuses to run, so the kid has to accompany him to Jinyang......"
Li Ji laughed: "That's right, it's too good to be pure, it's not completely bad, it's a person like you, you can't be high or low, and you act more than ordinary people, since you can't bear to throw down King Jin, it can be seen that you have a little more good places than bad places, and you can barely be considered a good person...... Fortunately, thanks to you, even the details of the Jinyang County Order have been found out by you, the kid is really not simple, where will the officials be suspicious, that is, you. ”
Li Su smiled: "This is the bad side of the kid, anyone and everything must be doubted first and then accepted, don't boast, the kid is embarrassed...... In fact, everything is luck, and the county order was found because he was too perfect, and when I doubted him, he did a stupid thing, sent someone to burn and hoard grain, and later pulled out the Chen family in Qizhou, and then pulled it to the Wang family in Taiyuan, and forced the Wang family to pull out the Fanyang Lu family and so on. Speaking of which, thanks to Uncle Li's soldiers and horses, the 20,000 soldiers under your command can be of great use, if there is no them, the kid will not dare to squeak even if he has evidence, at most he will send a piece of music to Chang'an, let His Majesty solve it. ”
"Enwei is a combination of grace and power, just in line with Qi Fu, Zheng is to intimidate the Wang family with soldiers, and Qi is to use 5,000 soldiers to disguise the chaos and pretend to attack the city, forcing Wang Cheng to tell the truth, one is right and one is strange, you use it very well, it is worthy of Xizhou to see a real battle. Since you have used soldiers and horses, you have your own considerations, the old man is just acting on orders, you don't need to thank me, but you bullied the Taiyuan Wang family badly enough this time, I'm afraid that in the future, I am afraid that it will ...... Ha ha! ”
Li Ji laughed loudly, seeing Li Su's bitter face, Li Ji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, the baby is now Li Tang Jiangshan, although the thousand-year-old gate valve is powerful, it's just ......"
Saying that, Li Ji suddenly sneered: "It's just that on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, countless new powerful men have risen, and their scenery is only the past, and it can be said who will be in the future." If the Wang family retaliates against you, just come to the old man, huh...... The old man calculated carefully, I am afraid that you have a lot of backers in Chang'an, Cheng Lao Pifu's family of bandits are like glue to you, Niu Jinda is your crown conferrer, as well as Pharmacist Li, Duan Zhixuan, and King Wu, King Jin, and what princess...... Hum! The grass-like thing on the wall, when you see people, you shout 'uncle and uncle', quietly, and you have so many backers! If the Wang family inquires about you in Chang'an first, they will not dare to touch you in the future. ”
The nostrils snorted twice, Li Ji lowered his voice and said: "The gate valve is powerful, it is a disaster for Datang after all, the old man only said to you kid, and relax, Your Majesty's jealousy, all the gate valves are also clear, these years gradually dare not point fingers at Your Majesty, you are a capable minister in front of Your Majesty's steps, extremely saintly, they are not stupid, dare not harm you." ”
Li Su blinked: "Yes, the kid has been taught." If someone chases and kills me in Chang'an City in the future, the kid must run to Uncle Li's mansion to hide first, and ask Uncle Li to save the kid. ”
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and then slapped a horsewhip on Li Su's back, and scolded: "Bastard things, spirits and green vegetables are sent to Cheng's house in a car, and when you are in trouble, you will know that you are running to the old man's house, are you talking about human words?" Swap it out! Good things were sent to my house, and I was chased and killed to run to Cheng's house, and the Cheng family's six children added up to seven big and small horses, which is enough to save your life. ”
Sighing, Li Ji stared at Li Su up and down for a while, and said, "It's strange, why did you suddenly appear a few years ago?" Your old man has heard that he was born in an ordinary peasant family in Taiping Village, and he heard that his mother died early, and you were raised by his father, and your father is an old farmer who can't read words, and it is impossible to teach you such a slippery and slick goods, and he is also composing poems and making wine to make thunder, and people who fight and defend the city to solve cases and pit people seem to be born with it, and some things are better than our veterans who have been through the storm for a long time, the old man is really strange, what kind of upbringing is your family? ”
"Floating clouds, all floating clouds, the kid is usually skilled, he can only play a little clever, he can't get on the table, just this little cleverness or one day there is a rainstorm, the wind is everywhere, no one in the wild A lightning thunderbolt happened to split the kid's head, so he ......"
Li Ji interrupted him, and said slowly but murderously: "If you talk nonsense in front of the old man, the old man will really whip you." ”
After a pause, Li Ji smiled at him and said: "You and I didn't have much contact before, and you just sent some gifts to the house every New Year's Day, and left with a little effort, this time Jinyang and his party, the old man and you get along quite well, and I appreciate you more and more. Even His Majesty sent the imperial chef to your house to learn from the teacher, and the old man has never been to your door, but he wants to learn something. ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Uncle Li is coming to the cold house, the kid will sweep the bed and wait, welcome him, you can come at any time, the kid will definitely satisfy Uncle Li......"
After a pause, Li Su suddenly thought of the character of these old killers, so he added: "What's that...... The boy is not promising, there is no kabuki in the humble house, if you always want to listen to some noise, watch some movement, eh...... Trouble Kabuki comes with it. ”
Li Ji was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and he was so angry that he raised the horsewhip in his hand, and was about to whip him, when he suddenly heard a loud shout in front of him.
"It's time to Chang'an! It's time to Chang'an! (To be continued.) )
