Chapter 123 ripples move slightly

After staying in the desert Gobi for a long time, I am used to loneliness, so I don't like to go to the bustling downtown area.

That's probably what home feels like.

The most beautiful time in the Gobi is usually dusk.

Ma Lao Liu killed a sheep, brought two jars of wine, dug a pit in the Gobi, piled stones on it, and started a fire underneath.

When the stone was hot, he spread the sheep with a stick, smeared it with spices, and hung it in a hollow pile of stones.

When the wild shallots in summer are really delicious, grab a handful and mix them with garlic and vinegar, which is a good delicacy.

"Mr. Sima is willing to drink with me as a rough man, that is to look up to me Ma Lao Liu, come on, let's drink a bowl first."

Sima Qian picked up the shallow-bottomed black pottery bowl, and after gently touching it with Ma Lao Liu, he drank it all.

"Even if the land of the Western Regions is not the same, this grape wine tastes better than Chang'an."

Ma Lao Liu said with a smile: "When the master book leaves, you can take a few cars back." ”

Sima Qian nodded and said, "That's it, thank you." ”

Ma Lao Liu pushed the grape wine jar to Sima Qian's side and said with a simple smile: "A certain family is a rough person, and he can't taste this kind of wine, so if Mr. likes it, he will drink more, and a certain family still likes the spirits from the Central Plains." ”

Sima Qian took a bite of the shallot, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "The school captain has been in the northwest for a long time, can you know the Qiang people's stable?" ”

Ma Lao Liu shook his head and said, "A certain family is Han." ”

Sima Qian nodded and said, "The captain didn't think about being the patriarch of the stable?" ”

Ma Lao Liu put down the wine jar in his hand and said in a low voice: "Is this what the prince means?" ”

Sima Qian said: "Yes. ”

Ma Lao Liu sighed and said: "Since it is the meaning of the prince, then what else to say, the last general will obey the order." ”

Sima Qian shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, you need the help of the curtain smoke, otherwise, you won't be able to encroach on the stable." ”

Ma Lao Liu paused for a moment and said, "Can't you start clearly? ”

Sima Qian said with a smile: "Face is always needed, and it can't chill the hearts of the Qiang people." ”

Ma Lao Liu asked puzzledly: "Are we going to annex the stables and not do anything to the rest of the clans?" ”

Sima Qian said: "The stable has been in war for two years, and the men in their clan have suffered heavy casualties, at this time, they really want to take refuge in a reliable person, they hope to do things under the command of the prince, the prince does not allow it, calculate it, only you are the most suitable." ”

"So, the prince wants to move the stables out of Wuwei County?"

Sima Qian smiled, everyone said that Ma Lao Liu was a mallet and a fool, but what about it, it was he who became a captain after the curtain smoke left, everyone said that Ma Lao Liu couldn't understand other people's words, but just now, he only said a few words, and Ma Lao Liu had accurately grasped the mind of the prince.

"So, I'm going to get rid of some of the people in the stable, right?"

Sima Qian didn't speak, Ma Lao Liu got up and took out the sheep from the improvised oven, and the appearance of the mutton had been roasted to a golden brown.

He flew with his knife, and the slices of roasted meat fell like snowflakes on the wooden plate, and in a short time, it was covered with the wooden plate.

Ma Lao Liu continued to smear the remaining mutton with spices and honey, put the sheep back into the oven, and invited Sima Qian to dine.

"It's still interesting to paint in a cave, and I can paint everything I've seen and heard here, so that people know what we've done, and that's very important."

Sima Qian said: "The captain is doing the same job as me. ”

"You're painting on the cave too?"

"No, I write on paper and write all the stories of our ancestors that we know now and for future generations to see.

If the captain likes it, then continue to paint, but don't forget the two important responsibilities of the patriarch of the stable, and the captain of Dunhuang. ”

Ma Lao Liu nodded, he wanted to live simply, but life did not allow it, and he did not lack the courage to face it, so he didn't care.

The wind on the Gobi blew the flames to one side, and the stars were already twinkling in the blue sky.

After the matter was explained clearly, Sima Qian didn't want to speak, and Ma Lao Liu was even more of a silent person.

The two of them sat on the Gobi, eating meat and drinking wine over a bonfire......

………………………………

Li Guangli knew that the second wife of the Yun family had come to Jiuquan, and he also knew that Sima Qian, an important staff member of the Yun family, had moved to Jiuquan.

He specially prepared a sumptuous banquet at Yumen Pass, but unfortunately, neither Su Zhi nor Sima Qian came.

"Captain, close the door, they won't come."

Li Guangli stood on the tower of the city gate and waited for a day.

"Wait a little longer......"

Li Guangli's tone was extremely weak.

After the stars filled the sky, the general whispered again: "General, close the door, otherwise, the military discipline will be ruthless." ”

Li Guangli glanced forward again, confirmed that there was no figure in front of him, and waved his hand in frustration, which was regarded as agreeing to the general's suggestion.

The six soldiers slammed the heavy city gate shut, and the dull sound of falling bolts seemed to hit Li Guangli's heart.

The sister-in-law died, the nephew was sent to Nagato Palace, and all the years of Lee's efforts were reduced to ashes.

Li Guangli even felt that he might be dying of old age in Yumenguan.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, the hall was empty, and the banquet there was still sumptuous, but it was already cold.

Li Guangli sat on the main seat and lifted the wine jug, but found that the wine jug was empty......

Glancing down the hall, he found a man in green clothes standing in front of the curtain with a wine glass, the blue clothes and the blue curtain made them blend together, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have noticed it at all.

The man in Tsing Yi raised his wine glass and said: "The wine is good, and the mutton is also good, but the wild boar meat is not good, probably because you don't have a good cook." ”

Suddenly seeing a stranger appear in front of him, Li Guangli was not surprised but happy.

The man in Tsing Yi threw over a waist card, and Li Guangli put it in front of the candlelight and carefully identified it: "Mr. is from the embroidered messenger?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi withdrew his waist card, sat on the opposite side of the long table, and raised his glass to drink.

Li Guangli accompanied him for three cups, and waited for the other party to speak without saying a word.

"Mrs. Li was buried in the imperial mausoleum as Jieyu, and the king of Changyi was entrusted to the nobleman Gillian by Mrs. Li on her deathbed, you must already know these things, right?"

Li Guangli said: "Clearly, brother, brother's letter is very clear. ”

"You should know that the reason why Mrs. Li entrusted the king of Changyi to the noble lady Gillian is Mrs. Li's own choice, and there is no threat in it!"

Li Guangli arched his hand and said: "Gillian is broad-minded, benevolent and kind, Li Guangli remembers it in his heart and does not dare to forget it." ”

"You should know that the reason why Mrs. Li fell ill and eventually died was because she was ill, and it was not deliberately framed by someone, do you understand this?"

Li Guangli arched his hand and said: "When the sister gave birth, a certain family guarded the side of the sister, and the diet was personally inspected by a certain family, and the food and water were tasted by the sister before the sister, if the sister was still killed by the traitor in such an environment, Li confessed." ”

The man in Tsing Yi laughed silently, pointed in the direction of Chang'an and said, "Is the captain willing to die for the king of Changyi?" ”

Li Guangli got up, knelt on one knee and said: "Li Guangli is ruthless by nature, only my sister and my poor nephew can make Li Guangli forget his life!" ”

"It is rumored in Chang'an that Liu Ju, the king of Changyi, will replace the crown prince Liu Ju, so everyone in Chang'an City said that the prince Liu Ju is going to do something wrong to the king of Changyi.

What does the captain think? ”

Li Guangli said sharply: "I don't care if my nephew can become the master of my Han, I just hope that this child can live a long life."

No matter who wants to be unfavorable to my nephew, it is my Li Guangli's enemy of life and death, and a certain family will eat his flesh and drink his blood! ”

The man in Tsing Yi nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Wait, it won't be long before you will return to Beijing and serve as the horse washing attendant of the king of Changyi."

Some people think that this position belongs to you. ”

Li Guangli clenched his fists and said: "A certain family should not let go!" ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and was about to leave after returning the salute.

Li Guangli hurriedly said: "Dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said, "My name means nothing to you, I was just entrusted by someone to come thousands of miles to ask you these words."

Now that you're done, it's time for you to forget about my existence. ”

Li Guangli said with a smile: "It's a good one to meet without asking the name or surname, no matter what, Mr. is tired of running around for my poor nephew, and a certain family is not going to go, so I prepared a small earthen ceremony, and asked Mr. to smile." ”

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said, "If I dare to take a penny from you, I will pay the price of my life, captain, let's say goodbye." ”

Li Guangli watched the people in Tsing Yi disappear into the courtyard, and did not let his subordinates send him off, nor did he make any arrangements.

Back at the long table, he drank cold from the scraps until dawn.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
