In the cold morning, Wang Yuan woke up comfortably. The window was slightly white, and there were already footsteps in the yard, that is, the maidservants had begun to sprinkle and clean the yard, and everything was quiet and peaceful.

Wang Yuan moved, and the hot and soft ketone body on his back also moved, and then Li Xin'er's confused voice came from his ears: "Erlang, let's sleep again, it's still early, and ...... It's also cold. ”

Wang Yuan turned around, looked at Li Xin'er's lazy pretty face, reached out and touched her face and smiled: "You can sleep a little longer, but I want to enter the palace today, but I am not as blessed as you." ”

Li Xin'er said 'um', but slowly got up, the quilt slid down, and the two blushes on her chest were exposed to the dim morning light, trembling and eye-catching. Wang Yuan swallowed and spit, remembering the madness of last night, Li Xin'er seemed to have opened her mind, she used to twist and restrain between the bed, but last night she was as gentle as water and seemed to be a different person, which made Wang Yuan wash the unhappiness that had come for months, and it was extremely comfortable.

Seeing Wang Yuan staring at his chest, Li Xin'er was busy covering Shuangfeng shyly, and said coquettishly: "What are you looking at?" Can't you see enough? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "This situation and this scene teach me to be poetic." ”

"What poem? What is the poetry of the early morning? You're a sour talent. Li Xin'er began to dress.

Wang Yuan said: "Listen up: when moving, it is like a conscientious jade rabbit, and when it is quiet, it is like a lazy white pigeon." Beauty has always fought for land, and since ancient times, heroes have been gentle and gentle. ”

Li Xin'er was stunned, and immediately raised her hand to hit Wang Yuan, and said, "When did Erlang learn to write such crooked poems?" I learned to use this aspect. It's time to play. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and lifted the quilt and got dressed. After stretching his muscles and bones in the courtyard, washing and changing clothes, a bowl of fragrant porridge had not yet been drunk, and he saw Huang San hurrying from the former house.

Before Huang San could speak, Wang Yuan said: "San Lang, did Prime Minister Zuo send someone to pick me up and enter the palace with me?" ”

Huang San smiled and nodded, "How does Erlang know?" “

Wang Yuan smiled and said in his heart: I have made an appointment at the banquet last night, of course I know. Put down the bowl to wipe his mouth, changed into his official uniform and packed up, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he saw a person from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion leading a tall horse with a black body waiting for him. Seeing Wang Yuan, the man hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

"My family left the villain came to invite Wang Shilang to enter the palace together, and the left minister was waiting at the palace gate. Please get on the horse. The man handed over the reins in his hand.

Wang Yuan pointed to the tall horse and said, "What's the matter with this horse?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "The villain should be damned, I forgot to say it." This is the left minister specially asked the villain to bring it to the waiter to travel. The left minister of my family said that the squire's mount was lost in Fanyang, and he heard that it was a black horse, so the left minister chose this horse to give to the squire to travel. It's just that there is no pure black horse, this one is white except for its four hooves, and its body is also black, hoping that the squire can see it. ”

Only then did Wang Yuan notice that the horse in front of him was really pure black, with snow-white hooves and a handsome demeanor, which was obviously not an ordinary horse.

"It's ...... Is this a snow kicking horse? Liu Xun, who was standing behind Wang Yuan, looked at the horse in a daze and shouted.

Wang Yuan's heart was cold, kicking the snow black horse, the four hooves were snow-white and the body was jet black, and the physical signs were in line. And Wang Yuan knew that it was rumored that the mount of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was a kicking snow black horse. If this is really a kick in the snow, it is a priceless BMW. In order to let himself clean up his mess for him, Yang Guozhong has made a lot of money.

The villain didn't know, Zuo Xiang didn't say what the name of the horse was, only asked the villain to bring it to Wang Shilang. However, this horse must be extremely valuable, as far as the villain knows, this black horse lives in a stable alone in the Zuo Xiang's mansion, and four servants take care of it, and the fine food is better than that of people. The man said.

Wang Yuan knew that this must be a snow kicking horse, how could the horse that Yang Guozhong gave him be an inferior horse, that was not Yang Guozhong's style. Yang Guozhong has been in His Majesty's house for the past few years, and he has made countless money in his hands, and all the things in his house are exquisite. Wang Yuan saw with his own eyes that the slag bucket used by Yang Guozhong when he ate was made of jade, which was just a slag bucket filled with bones and spitting fish bones, which showed how extravagant it was. The horses in his stables are probably all famous horses, more precious than those in His Majesty's royal stables.

Of course, Wang Yuan would not shirk such a valuable gift, in fact, Wang Yuan liked this horse at first sight. Looking at the eyes of this horse, you can see the difference between a BMW and an inferior horse. BMW is psychic, and this kicking snow black horse's eyes are full of humanity, and he is obviously an extremely intelligent horse.

Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to take the reins, reached out and patted the horse's head, and said with a smile: "You will follow me in the future." ”

The horse spewed a few breaths of white gas, nodded and stepped on the hooves as if to understand what people said, Wang Yuan pulled it to the side of the horse stone, turned over on the horse, and gently urged the horse, the horse ran quickly in small steps, and it was as safe as flat ground.

……

In Xingqing Palace, Wang Yuan stood on the promenade outside the Hundred Gardens and looked at the blue waves of the Dragon Pond, he was waiting for Xuanzong's summons, before that, Yang Guozhong entered in advance to see the driver, which was also the order discussed in advance, Yang Guozhong did not want to recommend Wang Yuan to Xuanzong in the presence of Wang Yuan, and deliberately expressed a small suspicion in this way. Wang Yuan thought it was funny, but he had to admire Yang Guozhong's finesse, perhaps it was the accumulation of this seemingly nonsensical fine behavior that made Xuanzong always have a great impression of Yang Guozhong, and only then could Yang Guozhong's words carry great weight in front of Xuanzong.

After a long wait, it was not until it was nearly noon that a chamberlain hurriedly went out of the Hundred Gardens to summon Wang Yuan into the Agarwood Pavilion to see him. Under the guidance of the chamberlain, Wang Yuan entered the hundred gardens, looked around, and couldn't help but be surprised. Although it is approaching the cold winter wax moon, there is no sense of decay in the hundred gardens.

I don't know what means were used, the flowers that should bloom in the garden are still blooming, and the flowers that should not be blooming are not withered and dilapidated, but a piece of green and vibrant. There is no coldness in the air at all, but a strong spring mood and the smell of fat powder. As soon as you enter here, you can feel the meaning of singing and dancing to promote peace and ease. Although the scenery is beautiful, it gives Wang Yuan the feeling that after staying here for a long time, I am afraid that the fighting spirit will be worn out at all, and the hero will become a bear.

On the terrace in front of the Agarwood Pavilion, more than a dozen female officials and chamberlains were waiting outside, and Wang Yuan saw a familiar figure, it was Li Guinian, the first musician of the Tang Dynasty, who was waiting under the corridor on one side with a large group of musicians and dancers, waiting for the call of Xuanzong at any time.

Li Guinian also saw Wang Yuan, and bowed to Wang Yuan from afar, but Wang Yuan didn't have time to stop, so he only returned the salute from afar. But he felt that there seemed to be something to say in Li Guinian's eyes, his eyes were a little strange, it was just a momentary feeling, and when he looked at Li Guinian again, it seemed that he looked blank again. In confusion, Wang Yuan had already stepped into the Agarwood Pavilion.

Bright peony flower and bird screens stand around the pavilion, isolating the original open agarwood pavilion from most of the surroundings, leaving only the gap where the sun shines in, so that the whole agarwood pavilion is both open and warm. Along the passage paved with red velvet carpets, after passing through two screens, Wang Yuan saw Xuanzong sitting on the golden couch and the jeweled concubine Niangniang beside him. I saw Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu sitting on both sides, and there was a fat figure who was smiling and looking at him, it was An Lushan.

"Wang Yuan sees the driver!" The chamberlain announced in a loud voice, and Wang Yuan stepped forward to salute in his high-pitched voice.

"Is it Wang Yuan? Get up. Xuanzong's gentle voice sounded in front of him.

Wang Yuan thanked him and got up, his eyes quickly swept over the faces of Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, Xuanzong was full of smiles, he hadn't seen him for a few months, and there seemed to be a lot more wrinkles and age spots, but Yang Guifei beside him still had the same demeanor, but she looked younger than a few months ago. Xuanzong's gaze was kind, but the concubine's gaze was a little cold.

"Sit down." Xuanzong gestured to Gao Lishi beside him.

Gao Lishi bent over and moved a brocade stool with some difficulty, Wang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to take it and said: "How dare you work for the high internal supervisor, I will come by myself." ”

Gao Lishi said expressionlessly: "Yes, Wang Shilang is a hero of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Wang Yuan was stunned, Gao Lishi had already turned around and returned to Xuanzong's side and stood still without squinting.

"Wang Yuan, I am very happy that within a few days, I have connected two good news, both of which are related to you. I didn't expect that in addition to your excellent poetry, you are still a general. This really surprised me. Hahaha. Xuanzong said with a smile.

Wang Yuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty has praised it, the minister is not so capable, it is my Tang Dynasty National Fortune, and the minister is just borrowing the blessing of Your Majesty." ”

Xuanzong laughed and said: "That's right, I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and this is the fortune of the country." When I first asked you to go to Hebei Province to serve as the envoy of the deposed Zhizhi, I actually just wanted you to go through the experience, but I didn't expect that this experience would force out your true ability. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "The minister is just lucky." Your Majesty should not praise the ministers anymore, otherwise the ministers will be ashamed of themselves. ”

A rough voice said: "Wang Shilang, Your Majesty's praise is not excessive, I was shocked when I heard the news that the Xi people besieged Wang Shilang, three thousand Xi soldiers are not a joke." After hearing the news, I sent someone overnight to inform the soldiers and horses to support the left, but I didn't expect it to be a step too slow. Fortunately, if you beat them, otherwise if you make a three-long and two-short, I will blame myself to death. ”

"What I said is that the first thing Lushan said when he came to see me was self-blame, even he didn't expect you to defeat the Xi people, which shows how unexpected your battle was. Lushan was worried that you would blame him, and begged me to explain it to you for him. Xuanzong laughed.

Wang Yuan turned around and smiled: "General An, don't come unharmed, does General An think I will blame you?" What do you blame? ”

An Lushan got up and arched his hand, let out a few dry laughs, and said, "Isn't it An's responsibility to be attacked by the Xi people in the place under my Fanyang's jurisdiction?" Since Your Majesty said it, An Mou is here to formally apologize to Wang Shilang, An Mou did not think about it, and you were besieged by the Xi people and almost had an accident, and An Mou was uneasy in his heart. An is a real person who recognizes his mistakes, Wang Shilang, you said, how should I compensate for my mistakes, but if you bring it up, An will do it. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Don't dare to be it, don't hide it from An Shuai, at first it was indeed a little unhappy, I felt that the Xi people appeared strangely, and I felt that An Shuai's defense system had loopholes." But after returning to Beijing yesterday, I learned that An Shuai was actively discussing the matter of submission with the Xi people at that time, and suddenly became enlightened. Obviously, if you want the Xi people to surrender to my Datang, naturally you can't fight hard at the border, isn't that insincere? The 3,000 people of the Xi tribe ran to the vicinity of Jiming Mountain, I am afraid that they also want to test the sincerity of my Datang, both sides are misunderstandings, and the battle may also be a misunderstanding, but it was handed over later, and it couldn't stop. I'm also worried that this battle will hinder An Shuai's plan to negotiate with the Xi people. If this battle really ruined the whole plan, then I am a sinner for the ages. ”
