Chapter 46: The Cold Knife (3)

"What! Adults can't come? Li Qinghuo stood up, his eyes were about to burst out, he took a step back suddenly, almost fell to the ground, it will open the day after tomorrow, Xian Yu Zhongtong is his only reliance, if he doesn't come, who else can shock the troublemakers.

"Don't worry! Calm down first. Li Qing took a deep breath, "Your master can tell me the reason, why can't you come." ”

The chief butler who reported the news bowed down and said: "The master was originally coming, but in the morning he was suddenly called by the master of the festival, Yaozhou has an urgent matter, and he can't go away." ”

Li Qing's thinking is as fast as lightning, only the government can shake the underworld, Li Lin has left this morning, he can only count on Xian Yu Zhongtong, even if he can't come himself, but he also has favors, and he can let others come.

"When will Lord Xianyu leave?"

"I left when I came, and I'm afraid I'm out of the city."

"No! Gotta catch up with him. ”

Li Qing had no time to think, he had just learned to ride a horse, and he just needed it.

A fast horse galloped on the side street, galloping southward like a gallop, he didn't dare to take the big road, there were many people congested, he couldn't catch up, but the road was also extremely dangerous, if you were not careful, you would hit pedestrians, not to mention that he was still a rookie who had just learned to ride a horse, all the way frightened chickens and dogs jumped, and he couldn't stop yelling and scolding behind him, but Li Qing had no time to take care of these, the invitations had all been sent out, and it was impossible to postpone it any longer, he was almost certain that there would be underworld doors when it opened.

The alley soon came to an end, crossing a bridge, in front of the south gate, Xian Yu Zhongtong to Yaozhou, will inevitably go out from here.

"Brother Bing! Rarely than the adult's car can be passed? ”

Before the gatekeeper could react, a handful of yellow copper coins had been stuffed over, shocked and delighted, seeing that the commander was not there, the soldier hurriedly took it as if his hands were burned, and pointed ahead and said: "Just passed!" ”

He secretly swept the copper coin, and a trace of pride appeared on the corner of the soldier's mouth, and suddenly, he remembered an extremely important matter, and hurriedly shouted to Li Qing's back: "Xian Yu turned in front of the adult and went to the Minjiang ferry." It's a pity that Li Qing has already gone far away and didn't hear this key sentence.

………

Jiang Shoujin ferry, Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong Zheng and Xian Yu Zhongtong said goodbye.

"This time Zhongtong represents the brother to send Nanzhao, at least two months, more than half a year, there is nothing to say for the brother, see each other in the same month, hear each other in the same voice, I wish Zhongtong a smooth journey."

"Take care, brother!" The fleet slowly opened, Xian Yu Zhongtong said goodbye to his colleagues who saw him off, and gradually, the fleet of sailing ships went away.

In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, Nanzhao Piluo Pavilion annexed the five edicts with the support of the Tang Dynasty, entered the king of Yunnan, and established the Nanzhao Kingdom, and then, the Tang Dynasty in order to strengthen the rule of eastern Yunnan, built a city and built a road in the Dianchi area, causing dissatisfaction among the local native tribes, they used the public resentment caused by building a city and building a road, and encouraged the people to unite, and elected the governor of Nanning Prefecture to return to the king as the leader, captured the city of Anning, killed the city of Zhu Lingqian, after the incident, the Tang Dynasty decided to send troops to the expedition, and at the same time ordered the Piluo Pavilion to cooperate, In this context, the Tang Emperor Li Longji ordered Jiannan Jiedu to send Zhang Qiu and Qiong to send a special envoy to Nanzhao to negotiate with Pi Luoge, Zhang Qiu and Qiong took his henchman Xian Yu Zhongtong as a special envoy and urgently went to Nanzhao, the situation in Nanzhao was tense, and Xian Yu Zhongtong could no longer participate in Li Qing's opening ceremony.

Let's say that Li Qing left the city gate and ran forward for five miles, but he didn't see any trace of chariots, not even a few pedestrians, Li Qing was puzzled, looked around, but saw only an old man selling courgettes on the side of the road.

"Uncle! Can there be government cars passing through here? ”

The old man glanced at him, but he didn't say anything, and said with a bitter face for a while: "If you buy my melon, I will answer your question, if you don't buy it, I won't see anything." ”

Li Qing was angry, got off the horse and took out a handful of money, and said to him hatefully: "I don't want you any melons, tell me quickly, did you have any official cars just now?" ”

The old man slowly accepted the money, and then said: "There is only one official road to the south here, and there is no other way, I have not seen any official car soldiers pass by from the morning to the present, and if the car war that the little brother said is far away, then it should go to Jiang Shoujin by water." ”

"Take the waterway!" Li Qing suddenly realized, flew on the horse and ran back.

But he was already late, and when he arrived at the Jiang Shoujin ferry, it was already a little white sail and a blurred shadow, and the officials who saw him off were gradually dispersed.

"I'm still late!" Li Qing shouted in annoyance, Xian Yu Zhongtong is gone, what can he do the day after tomorrow? I knew it earlier, and I said it clearly, Xian Yu Zhongtong was good at arranging others, but he calculated by himself, he was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness.

"Little brother is Xianyu's family?"

Li Qing turned around, but saw an old man standing behind him, fifty years away, wearing a flat scarf, wearing a white gauze wide Zen robe, stepping on black leather shoes, his body was slightly fat, his face was white and beardless, and he was looking at himself amiably.

"I'm his nephew, I have something urgent to find him, but I'm a step late."

Li Qing secretly glanced at him, this is also the official who came to send Xian Yu Zhongtong, he can't see the official character from the appearance, but from the fact that his guard is already a captain, it can be inferred that this person should be not small, it is rare for him to take the initiative to ask himself, Li Qing's mind turned quickly, this may be an opportunity, Li Qing, who had just fallen into the abyss of disappointment, suddenly found a winding path.

This person is naturally Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong, he was about to get in the car, but he saw Li Qing rushing over, looking at the fleet that had gone away and shouting loudly, he was surprised in his heart, this time Xian Yu Zhongtong sent Nanzhao for himself, that is, he owed him a favor.

He looked Li Qing up and down, and saw that the horse Li Qing was riding was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth, and said with a slight smile: "This place is still far from the city, can the little brother go back with me in the same car?" ”

"Then disturb the old gentleman!"

The opportunity needs to be grasped by oneself, and sometimes unnecessary modesty will lead to a big mistake, Li Qing ignored the glares of the guards next to him, and immediately responded with a cheeky face.

The carriage started slowly, the carriage was very wide, with a long table, the table was full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and there was a small scholar next to the best of a small scholar waiting for pen and ink, like a mobile office, Zhang Qiu and Qiong half leaned on the back seat, casually correcting official documents, Li Qing in the front row was secretly ecstatic, he had already seen some fame, and there was a pair of cursive writing hanging on the back wall of the carriage: The gentleman must be cautious of his solitude! The font is majestic, vigorous and powerful, and the red clay print on one side is actually Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Li Qing suddenly found that the words that the old man was reviewing were exactly the same as on this one.

"It turns out that he is the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, Zhang Qiu and Qiong!"

All kinds of thoughts came to Li Qing's heart, if he was protected by the number one official in Jiannan Dao, then even if it was a hundred Hai families, he would not be afraid, but Zhang Qiu and Qiong didn't pay attention to him at all, how could he get his attention? Li Qing thought quickly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought about it.

"Good word! The vertical pen is like a rabbit falling up, the momentum is like a rainbow, there is a trend of rapid wind and rain, if it is not for the next payment, I really think it is the true work of Gusu Zhang Bogao! ”

Li Qinglao's face was slightly red, although this word was good, but compared with Zhang Xu's wild grass, it was really too far away, but in order to achieve his goal, he had to be cheeky and use the reputation of Zhang Xu praised by later generations to flatter Zhang Qiu and Qiong.

As the saying goes, a thousand wear it, but a sycophant doesn't wear it! Li Qing's sycophants were on point, Zhang Qiu and Qiong have always been Zhang Xu as a teacher, although there are too many flattering words, but no one can reach the realm of Li Qing, this young man and himself have never known each other, but they praise each other calmly, it can be seen that it is out of sincerity, and the comments on the words are appropriate, which is what he is proud of.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong smiled, put down the pen in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, your surname?" ”

"Don't dare to be! In Xia Li Qing, the word Yangming, a native of Yilong County. ”

"Li Qing?" Zhang Qiu and Qiong frowned, it seemed that he had heard of this name somewhere, he thought about it carefully, and then beckoned to Li Qing: "Come!" You come and write a few words. ”

He pondered for a moment and said: "When I say that you write, I will write the eight words 'often as a guest, why ask Kangning'"

Li Qing waved it, he already understood what Zhang Qiu and Qiong meant, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Sure enough, it's you! I've heard you talk about you. Zhang Qiu and Qiong laughed, he went to celebrate the birthday of the old man Xian Yu that day, and he was very interested in his birthday words, and the words were also written quite well, asked about Xian Yu Zhongtong, said that it was written by a young man named Li Qing, not only good words, but also good character.

"You wrote the birthday words that are fresh in the old man! The writing is very good, the writing is good, the words are good, and now it seems that the character is really good, this is natural, Li Qing's sycophants are like that, can the character be bad?

He stretched out a white fat hand, patted Li Qing's shoulder with his fat palm, and said with a smile: "I am Zhang Qiu and Qiong, I have a small matter to ask you for help." ”
