I have to admit that Hou Junji sees people very accurately, and Li Su also has to be ashamed to agree that he is indeed a character who is not profitable and cannot afford to be early, of course, in his heart, visiting Hou Junji is indeed the first, and the other purpose is second.

"The kid really came to Dali Temple to see you, how can General Hou doubt the kid's sincerity?" Li Su showed a look of grievance, and even pouted, so cute that he didn't want it, pointed to the wine and food in front of him, and said, "The kid also brought wine and food, full of red gold sincerity......"

Hou Junji snorted and said, "The old man has accepted the wine, as for your sincerity, hehe......"

The corners of Li Su's mouth twitched slightly, there was a kind of loss after the meat bun beat the dog, and there was no trust between people.

"If General Hou doesn't believe it, the kid won't say a word today, and he will leave as soon as he visits you, how about it?"

Hou Junji frowned, and stared at him suspiciously: "The old man has never looked at people in his life, could it be that you really just came to visit the old man today?" ”

"Really, if you don't believe it, please look at the boy's sincere eyes......" Li Su blinked innocently.

Hou Junji was so disgusted that he couldn't do it: "Okay, old man, you have also visited, and you can get out." ”

Li Su got up with a grin, saluted him, and then walked towards the prison door.

Hou Junji stared at his back and found that he really left without saying a word, Hou Junji twisted his eyebrows and shook his head and muttered: "Could it be that the old man really guessed wrong?" ”

Li Su's footsteps could no longer be heard in the narrow corridor, and the usual silence returned to the cell, and the deep sense of loneliness once again disturbed Hou Junji's heart.

Before he had time to sigh for his own scenery, there were footsteps in the corridor outside the cell, and it wasn't long before a familiar smiling face appeared outside the cell door.

"General Hou has been absent for a long time, and the kid has come to visit you for the second time. Ah, I haven't finished drinking the wine last time, and it just so happens that the kid and General Hou conspired to get drunk......"

Saying that, Li Su pushed open the cell door and came in, and under Hou Junji's stunned eyes, Li Su seemed to have walked into his own courtyard and poured himself a full cup of wine. Then take a cautious sip.

After taking a sip, Li Su calmly began to talk about family life: "I haven't seen the general for a long time, see you today, General Hou's demeanor is still the same, and the tiger is still powerful, which is really gratifying......

Hou Junji came back to his senses, and suddenly showed a playful smile: "What a slippery boy, even the old man has been calculated, this is your second visit, right?" ”

"Yes. Second. I was glad to see that General Hou was in good spirits and his spirit was still bright, and the kid was overjoyed......"

The corners of Hou Junji's mouth twitched, he was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Hurry up and get down to business, the old man doesn't want to be visited by you for the third time." ”

Li Su poured a glass of wine for Hou Junji, and after saluting, he said with a smile: "General Hou rushed back to Chang'an alone and calmly went to prison." It can be described as tragic, and the kid feels nostalgic. I heard that after you swept the Western Regions, you were ordered to build the Western Protectorate, and its site was located next to Xizhou......"

Hou Junji said suspiciously: "Why did the kid suddenly mention this? ”

"It's nothing, I just want to ask how many people are left in the Anxi Protectorate by the Tang Dynasty's expedition to the west."

Hou Junji said: "There are about 20,000 people left in the early stage, and in the past two years, the imperial court has been busy transferring grain, grass and ordnance, and in the future, tens of thousands of soldiers will be transferred from all over Guanzhong to the border. The soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate usually had to be maintained at about 60,000 in order to form a sufficient deterrent to the countries of the Western Regions and ensure the unimpeded flow of the Silk Road. ”

Li Su lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "The kid has a few friends who want to go to the Western Regions to join the army and build a career of shadowing his wife and sealing his son." I don't know if it's possible? ”

Hou Junji said with a smile: "It is understandable for a man to make a contribution, why do you bother to ask the old man about this matter?" If you want to join the army, you go to the local county government office to cast a name, and then you are compiled as a government soldier, and you can practice outside Chang'an for a year. ”

Li Su shook his head: "General Hou hasn't understood what the kid meant, the kid wants to say, if you go to the Anxi Protectorate, can General Hou make it convenient?" ”

Hou Junji frowned: "What kind of convenience?" ”

"The person sent by the kid is naturally not an incompetent person, the kid has been in Xizhou for three years, and he is also familiar with the Western Regions, although General Hou's army swept through the Western Regions, although the countries of the Western Regions were shocked, but they will not be completely honest, the next few years are the period when the Tang Dynasty has passed through the Western Regions, during which there will be some large and small turbulence, so, the Anxi Protectorate will not be without a war, and the boy's friends entered the Metropolitan Protectorate, and naturally fought for the Tang Dynasty, guarding the peace of the water and soil, speaking with real military exploits, and making meritorious contributions, Naturally, there must be rewards and promotions, General Hou, right? ”

Speaking of this, Hou Junji finally understood what Li Su meant, and said in a deep voice: "Are you worried about the injustice of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate?" ”

"This is a reasonable world, the kid has nothing to worry about, the reason why he mentioned this matter to General Hou is, of course, to prevent trouble in advance, to prevent it in advance."

Hou Junji nodded slowly: "The old man understands what you mean, this time the western expedition, there are a number of soldiers stationed in the Anxi Protectorate who have been brought by the old man for many years, and the old man can repair a letter and send it to the Western Regions. ”

Li Su was overjoyed, shook it to the ground, and said with a smile: "Thank you General Hou, the kid will not embarrass you." ”

Hou Junji squinted at him and said, "The second visit is over?" ”

"It's over."

"There's no third time, is there?"

"The kid will come when he thinks of you, General Hou has anything he needs, just tell the kid, the kid can bring in what he eats and drinks, and the kid can bring it in, and it's not a big problem to want a woman, but the woman who is willing to go into the cell to serve the guests looks a little miserable......"

"Get out!"

******************************************************************

Walking out of Dali Temple, Li Su stretched a long lazy waist, and then a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This matter of asking Hou Junji is a move that he has fallen again, this move he has been thinking about for a long time in his heart, and he has been a little hesitant, but seeing that the prince has lost power recently, the princes have moved in groups, each showing their powers, Li Su suddenly found that he still lacks enough security.

The so-called send a few friends to Anxi Duhufu, of course these "friends" are not real friends, Hou Junji was right just now, now the flowers are brocade, when the fire is cooking, it seems to be colorful, and it is extremely prosperous, but who knows what kind of fate awaits him next, looking at the high-rise building, seeing the building collapse.

Now Wang Zhi is mixed in the well of Chang'an City, but the blessings and misfortunes are lurking, and there is often a huge crisis hidden behind the scenery, a gangster leader who has no official position in the market, mingles with the Wuhou Fang officials who patrol the streets, and a group of ruffians and idlers in Chang'an City swagger through the market, such a scene falls in the eyes of real officials, how can you bear it?

Therefore, Li Su must find a way out for Wang Zhi and his brothers, if one day there are really courtiers who are determined to fight against this underworld force in Chang'an City, Wang Zhi and they also have a clear goal to go to after fleeing Chang'an.

Li Su fought this idea, of course, if this underworld force defected to the Anxi Protectorate and then twisted into a group, forming a new underworld force again, this ...... Li Su said that he was happy to see that Xizhou was a place far away from the emperor, not to mention, he himself was somewhat thin in Xizhou, at least that Xizhou Thorn Shi Cao Yu is still the Thorn History of Xizhou.

In addition to this consideration, Li Su sent people to Xizhou for some ulterior purposes, which need to be operated and stewed slowly, and may not be effective for a few years or even more than ten years.

In fact, the most suitable person to go to Xizhou is Wang Zhu, he is Li Su's hardcore brother, he will not hesitate to stand on his side at any time, Li Su's will and ideas, Wang Zhu never asks why, and he will be thoroughly implemented without saying a word, if such a brother treats him as a nail and is placed in the Anxi Protectorate, with Wang Zhu's brave combat power and real character, as well as Li Su's distant echo in Chang'an City, it will not be a problem to mix a captain who leads a single party of soldiers and horses within ten years.

However, having said that, Li Su's plan is a plan, but he can't control Wang Zhu's life, and no matter how iron-clad his brother is, he is not qualified to dictate other people's lives, so Li Su should have arranged this matter for Wang Zhi and his subordinates.

…………

…………

Li Su's visit to Hou Junji in Dali Temple did not cause much turmoil, and it can be said that there was not even a small ripple.

His expectations were right, for the emperors and magnates of Chang'an City, although Li Su is now a county marquis, he is still just a small person in their eyes, and he is also a weak-crowned child, and any action of Li Su is just a personal will, and does not represent any political tendencies, so no one cares about it.

On New Year's Day, there was heavy snow in Guanzhong for the third time.

There is not much content for the New Year in Taiping Village, don't count on the Spring Festival Gala, firecrackers have not yet appeared, and now there is a thing called a burst pole, which is the predecessor of firecrackers, a long bamboo strip filled with a little gunpowder and messy things, thrown into the fire, and then a light and crisp sound like a fart, it is considered to have exploded.

This thing caused Li Su's strong contempt and complaint, for a person who invented the anti-heaven artifact of the earth-shaking thunder, the explosive rod is simply an insult to the firearms world, and it can obviously destroy the world, but if you change the formula, there is only a fart left.

Early in the morning, Li Daozheng and Li Su father and son stood by the field stalk at home, Zheng Xiaolou stood with a cool face, standing quietly behind the father and son, Zheng Xiaolou also stood behind a dozen veterans, since Li Daozheng was attacked, this pomp has been the standard for the main members of the Li family.

The snow was very heavy, fluttering like goose feathers, and the sky and the earth were blank.

Li Su held an oil umbrella high to cover his father's snow, and Li Daozheng was squatting on the edge of the field, looking worried.

"It's going to be bad under this snow, and I'm afraid next year's harvest won't be smooth......"

Li Su blinked: "Dad, don't worry, our family is not short of money, and we can't be hungry if we don't get anything......"

Li Daozheng turned his head and glared at him: "The entire Guanzhong has not been completed, can you manage it?" (To be continued.) )
