Chapter 639: A thief who doesn't want to be an official is not a good thief
Sit well, the boss should be comfortable, who knows that he will kick out the door in one day, and the reason is only a simple sentence - you can go!
When he fought that day, he fought happily, and later learned that it was the little son of the Cheng family who was beaten, Xie Yang regretted it a little - this was not regret that he shouldn't have done it, but regretted that he hadn't been ruthless, so he fled and went to report for reinforcements. Of course, he didn't have such a high level of self-confidence to be able to fight a family of heroes like the Cheng family, so he admitted it when he was in prison, anyway, there was food and drink, and there were people to offer. Therefore, when I heard that it was his cousin who was an official who made the Cheng family to end up, he was like a second monk, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
Lao Tzu has been alone in the road for so many years, when did he have such a capable cousin?
He was even more strange when he saw the good paulownia carriage and a dozen well-trained guards outside the Yongzhou Mansion. The officer who escorted him out was tight-lipped, and he didn't want to be thrown back a quarter of an hour after leaving the cell, so he had to board the carriage. As soon as he got into the car, he saw a somewhat familiar face and was stunned.
"You...... Damn it, it's you old fox! ”
Huo Huaien smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Hehe, I can't imagine that after so many years, you still recognize me, Wolf King!" ”
"Nonsense, I know you even if you turn to ashes!" Xie Yang hated it when he remembered the first few encounters, "Even if I crossed the line at that time, you were too ruthless and played me like a monkey!" I thought, where did I get such a prominent cousin, dare to love you! Look at you are a guard, a good horse and a good car, why, you look like a dog. What good master did you follow? ”
Although Huo Huaien said that he was rising step by step, his name was naturally inconspicuous in the imperial court awards, and in the spirit of being a secret for His Holiness, even if many officials knew that he was from a bad background, they kept his origin secret. Therefore, Xie Yang did not know his current situation.
"Hey. Didn't you trust my old man to be blessed and follow the right person, so that I can eat and drink spicy food now? Huo Huaien's gangsterism that has been restrained in officialdom for many years has been revealed at this time because of his old friends. "You should have seen my old son Sheng Yunwen, and now he is about to be transferred back from the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate to serve as the general of Jin Wuwei Zuolang, and when the time comes, I will specifically arrest you for this kind of role." ”
Kim Gowei Zuo Lang General! Xie Yang was suddenly shocked, and there was a faint clue in his mind, and when he thought about it, he suddenly realized. Pointing at Huo Huaien's nose and exclaiming, "You...... You, such an ancestor of robbery, actually followed the current prince! ”
Seeing Huo Huaien, he smiled silently. He suddenly became even more depressed: "This has changed from a thief to an official, and you are so lucky in the world!" Hey, I heard that your master is very serving! Wait, you took such great pains to let me out, do you ......"
"Don't bother.
If it weren't for the face of my family, do you think the Cheng family would be so easy to stop? Huo Huaien pursed his lips angrily and gently knocked on the wall of the carriage. Old Man Cheng has always been protective of his shortcomings, if His Royal Highness didn't go in person, I was afraid that you would have a lot of meat and vegetables for a meal. The dignified Taihang Wolf King actually suffered from the floor of the official mansion, and you don't need to ask for this face! ”
"Will you die if you say anything less!" What Xie Yang hated most at the beginning was Huo Huaien's unforgiving mouth, and he was even more annoyed at the moment, "I'm not just drunk that day, otherwise another hundred people from the Cheng family won't be able to hold me!" ”
Big talk is big talk, but no one in this world wants to be a bandit for a lifetime, especially when they see their former peers thriving. If nothing else, let's just say that Li Mi was trying to plot the world for the group of people in Wagangzhai at the beginning, but the others didn't want to get an official? So, Xie Yang's heart was unprecedentedly hot, and he grabbed Huo Huaien's arm and forced him to ask, "Tell me quickly, does the master of your family really take a fancy to me?" ”
"You think you're a national beauty, and you have a crush on you!" Huo Huaien said sarcastically, seeing that the other party was not annoyed at all, Deng Shi knew that today's trip could be described as smooth, so he smiled and squeezed his eyes and said, "You are lucky, if I didn't happen to know that you would be locked up in Yongzhou Mansion, and my Royal Highness just needs such a character as you, who would know that you, the wolf king, are in prison!" ”
Xie Yang was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his ears and cheeks, and finally had to say viciously: "Ahem, can you tell the point?" ”
"It's very simple, the royal driver has to patrol Luoyang, and the Yulin soldiers are not enough. You also know that there are many bandits in Guanzhong and Henan, and it is inevitable that people will be remembered, so you are ready to rely on your reputation to make this road more peaceful. ”
Xie Yang was dumbfounded for a moment, however, this good expectation for the future overshadowed the others, as for whether it would work or not, it was not in his consideration anyway. After hastily changing his clothes in the carriage and shaving his face clean with a dagger, he glanced at the bronze mirror, and saw that he looked pale and not fierce, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, if a fierce face frightened the noble man who could give him glory and wealth, it was really not worth it! However, when he soon saw the way of the One
I regret that I shaved off that bush of beard - I think he is too dignified and will be seen as weak in writing!
It's no wonder that Li Xian felt incredible, this lone thief with high martial arts skills in Huo Huaien's mouth was actually a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, who looked more like a scribe, how could he not be surprised? Not only that, but that figure looked a little thinner than ordinary scholars, and it couldn't be compared with Huo Huaien's tiger's waist.
"Lao Huo, could it be that the Yongzhou Party failed to abuse the prisoners, why did he lose weight like this?"
"Your Highness, he has always been lustful, and this body has fallen on a woman's belly, so this is this virtue."
Hearing the answer of this master and servant, Xie Yang suddenly felt that his forehead was bruised, although the person who asked this question was too direct, but the guy who answered this question was too faceless! However, thinking that the dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, who needed to look up at the top of the mountain from the ground at any time, he had no choice but to remain silent.
"Get up, as long as it's not in public, I don't have so many dead rules here, and Lao Huo never kneels around!"
As soon as Li Xian's words fell, he saw Xie Yang standing up happily at the bottom, so he took a closer look curiously, only to find that the person was thin and thin, but it was indeed very strong. Although he had the intention to give it a try, he thought of Huo Huaien's promise just now, so he temporarily dispelled this idea.
"Lao Huo should have told you, what you have to do is to hang around in the front team with Cheng Wuting, and by the way, point out the loopholes in the defense work according to your own understanding. Of course, it would be better if you could keep the thieves away from the team on this patrol, because there will be a siege of the bandits soon, this time in earnest.
”
Li Xian said that he was serious, and Huo Huaien could express his doubts, because he clearly heard Li Xian say reassurance to Cheng Wuting that day, but Xie Yang, who had just arrived, had to believe it. His reputation as the Taihang Wolf King is very good, but that is only in the underworld, and everyone in the white road wants to take credit for his head. If his identity was exposed in Yongzhou this time, it is conceivable that his head would have been lost.
If there is a way to live, who will be a bandit?
Although he is a lone thief, and there are often times when black eats black with his colleagues, it is inevitable that there will be some things hurting him at this time, after all, there are a few people who are quite compatible. So, in line with the consciousness that he would make a contribution, he offered to take advantage of the fact that he had not yet set off to take a turn in the area of Guanzhong Henan, after all, he had been out of business for some time, and some of his colleagues no longer knew him.
Li Xian was very satisfied, indescribably satisfied. If this is a troubled era, as long as it is a talent, even a thief will pick and choose what to vote for, but in today's peaceful and prosperous world, there is only one court, and nothing can stop the righteous name.
Although Li Xian did not lower his stature too much, in Xie Yang's opinion, this was completely out of place, so he was extremely grateful for Huo Huaien's introduction, and when Li Xian basically agreed to his package of requests, he was patient and withdrew in ecstasy, and he couldn't wait to hug Huo Huaien and kiss him.
"Lao Huo, this time I owe you a great favor! Hey, I can't imagine that my wolf king will also have a developed day! ”
Huo Huaien had long expected that the other party would have such an expression. Who doesn't want to get ahead, who doesn't want to be upright, let alone be an official? So, he laughed, and then lowered his voice and reminded: "Your Highness, this person is very easy to get along with, there is only one thing, and you are not allowed to deceive, otherwise he will not recognize people when he turns his face." Also, it doesn't matter if you, the wolf king, tell the outside world, it's better to put it away here, otherwise if you let irrelevant people know, you won't be able to be an official! ”
"Don't worry, I will not commit His Highness's taboos. As for that, you don't have to worry about it, I've been in Guanzhong Henan for so long, who knows my real name? ”
The next thing was very simple, Huo Huaien took this new colleague and old friend to change clothes, and Li Xian also changed his clothes and rushed to the palace. At this time, it is not as good as in the past, it doesn't matter if he takes Huo Huaien in the first place, but if it is known at this moment that he has taken in a Jiangyang thief at home and sealed the official position, it will be very inappropriate. Since this is selflessness, then it is necessary for the public to show it to the head selflessly, so as not to leave a bad heart in anyone's heart.
Li Zhi passed this pass very smoothly, he is now a comfortable shopkeeper, horizontal and vertical is just a set of official uniforms, and he is not a military general who can be on the stage, so he readily agreed; Li Hong knows the plight of the Yulin Army, and he will not point fingers at this kind of thing; However, Empress Wu raised her face to face, and after hearing that Cheng Wuting could use this person to appease the bandits in Guanzhong Henan, she readily agreed.
Cheng Wuting is her newly promoted confidant, if she can promote this person, let alone let one thief be an official, she doesn't care if it is ten. In terms of employing people, Empress Wu's courage is far greater than Li Xian imagined.
