Chapter 11: The Gathering of Storms (2)
It was midnight when Li Mi, Gao Lishi and others arrived at Tongguan. The night guard checked the waist card and opened the gate. After clasping his fists at the defenders, Li Mi shouted a password. The black-clothed soldier marched into the city with his head held high, his steps and arms in unison, and he entered the city majestically, and his riding boots made of black cowhide clicked on the bluestone paved road, without a trace of noise. The exciting gatekeepers looked sideways and envied.
"Tut-tut, the majesty of Zhente Niang. We can go in for a day sometimes. A gatekeeper said enviously to his companion.
"Don't think about it, guard our door. Don't forget how awesome our veteran commanders are, but they are nothing in this. A few days ago, I met the veteran commander and said that he was coming. Tired all day like a dog, we can't bear this hardship. The other continued.
"You know, this black wolf guard is an elite. If you go in for a day, it's worth dying. I heard that they also send double money. ”
Since opening the gate of Tongguan, Gao Lishi and the two guards have walked last, and they happened to hear the conversation between the two gatekeepers, "Is it really so powerful?" Colliers paused and asked with interest.
"It's from the official palace." The two gatekeepers are also clever characters, seeing that Gao Lishi was dressed in palace costumes and gorgeous, he hurriedly replied politely, "I don't know, official, this is a team organized by our Mr. Li, and if you can join this army, you must be the commander at the earliest." And what horse fighting, foot fighting, bows, arrows, swords, and guns can all be practiced. It's not another wilderness survival village training. We don't know what it is. The officials have to ask Mr. Li."
Originally, on the way back to Tongguan, Colliers was already interested in this team. When they returned, Gao Lishi and Li Mi walked in front of the team, but they heard a whistle in the team, and they didn't feel anything unusual. But before arriving at the Tongguan Gate, Gao Lishi turned around boredly, only to find that the original team of about ten people had unconsciously increased by more than 20 times. Gao Lishi was a person with excellent kung fu, but he didn't even notice it, and the other two guards were also at a loss. At this time, the words of the gatekeeper completely aroused Gao Lishi's interest.
Gao Lishi stepped forward and walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Li Mi, who was leading the team in front, and asked impatiently, "Li Mi, you tell Gao, what's going on with this team." Although Gao has lived in the palace for a long time, this sergeant has seen a lot. But I really haven't seen such a team in front of me. ”
Seeing Gao Lishi asking questions to him, Li Mi walked a few steps quickly out of the queue, turned around and shouted, "Iron pillar, lead the team forward, target the barracks, and then disband on the spot and sleep." "Obey" Tie Zhu shouted, stepped forward quickly, and took over Li Mi's position as the leader.
"I met a noble person today, and the labor rights should give you a holiday, and tomorrow you will train as usual." Li Mi shouted again at the queue that walked past him, and then turned his head and looked at Gao Lishi with a smile, "I said Mr. Gao, we are also old acquaintances, and you don't ask me how I am doing when we meet today, why do you care about my soldiers first." ”
Gao Lishi rolled his eyes when he said this, "Our Majesty knows your current situation, and even His Majesty Tongguan knows when you came." His Majesty knows, and Gao naturally knows. So Gao doesn't need to ask. ”
"Oh? Does Your Majesty know that I am short of money? You said that I'm twenty-five or sixteen years old, and I don't even have a home, and the girls don't look at me when they see that I don't have a house. You see, I am the same age as His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now has all the children. I'm not alone. When you came back, Your Majesty didn't say that you would reward me with some gold and silver treasures? Li Mi looked at Gao Lishi with a smile, and his eyes were full of golden light, gold of gold.
"Your Majesty really rewarded you, but not gold, silver and jewelry." Gao Lishi continued to roll his eyes, when did this Li Mi become such a wealthy philistine, not last time.
"Really? You don't lie to me? What did Your Majesty reward? It's not gold or silver, as long as it can be exchanged for money. Li Mi heard Gao Lishi say that His Majesty really rewarded himself, and the golden light in his eyes was even more abundant, and it was still gold.
"If you dare to change!" Gao Lishi had a ride with Li Mi, and the rolling eyes never fell.
While speaking, the two came to the Tongguan Garrison Mansion, at this time Gao Lishi's eyes finally fell, and if he didn't fall, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing greeted the door. Gao Lishi raised his hand and rubbed his swollen eyes, and followed Gao Xianzhi into the mansion.
After entering the palace, Gao Lishi did not talk nonsense, and immediately ordered someone to put an incense case and read the holy decree. Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, and Li Mi all knelt on the ground obediently, waiting for the decree.
"The holy decree, Feng Changqing's army defeated Luoyang, and the crime is unforgivable. However, His Majesty remembered that Feng Changqing had been in battle for a long time, and he had made outstanding achievements, and the soldiers were impermanent and the water was impermanent. Feng Changqing entered Beijing and faced the saint to express his feelings. After reading the holy decree, Feng Changqing's stiff body suddenly relaxed, and he turned his head to look at Li Mi, who was kneeling beside him. Li Mi also happened to turn his head to look at Feng Changqing at this time, and when he saw Feng Changqing turn his head, Li Mi squeezed his eyes at him with a smile.
"There is another one, for Li Mi." Gao Lishi saw Li Mi and Feng Changqing's movements, and reminded him. Li Mi and Feng Changqing hurriedly restrained their smiles and respectfully knelt on the ground to listen to the order.
"Holy Decree: Give Li Mi a jade sword." After speaking, Gao Lishi stuffed the green jade sword wrapped in yellow silk in his arms into Li Yu's arms, sat down, and took the teacup and drank it.
"That's it?" Li Mi wondered in his heart, "Don't you have a word of encouragement?" Why don't you keep up the good work? That's it? ”
"No, this is Your Majesty's original words, Gao doesn't dare to be pretentious." Gao Lishi's eyelids were too high, and Li Mi gave him a bad impression tonight, like a philistine businessman.
"Mr. Gao, look. We're both old acquaintances, and you always tell me what Your Majesty told you when he gave the order. Of course, Li Mi didn't believe Gao Lishi's words, Gao Lishi was taking revenge for his trouble with him just now. Li Yu sat next to Gao Lishi with a grim face, picked up the kettle and refilled a cup of tea for Gao Lishi, and asked with a smile.
"It's really gone, Your Majesty didn't say anything at that time except for asking Gao to give you this sword." Colliers took the teacup and drank it all, and said with a stiff neck.
"Oops, my Boss Gao. You said that you are such a big official, such a big belly, what are you angry with my junior. You are an adult, and you are dissipated. Li Mi saw that Gao Lishi was determined not to reveal the slightest inside story to himself, so he resorted to a trick and apologized and coquettish. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing watched from the sidelines with goosebumps.
Although Gao Lishi is a middle-aged person, he was also stimulated by Li Mi with goosebumps, so this Li Mi is an apology, right, plus Mr. Gao is the emperor's confidant, and there are a lot of adults, so he also has the heart to spare Li Mi, "Okay, okay, don't be like this." Gao really can't stand your hand. You solve Gao's doubts, and Gao will reveal the situation to you, otherwise there is no way. Gao Lishi smiled bitterly, pointed in the direction of the barracks outside the door, and took a sip of the teacup with the other hand. He was really thirsty.
"It turns out that Mr. Gao is waiting for me here. Manager Gao can rest assured that there will be an event tomorrow afternoon, and Manager Gao will understand when he sees it. Li Mi smiled and refilled the water for Gao Lishi, "Manager Gao is really calculating, and he is really like a philistine businessman." ”
Colliers didn't swallow a sip of tea, and squirted it out. He really didn't expect this Li Mi to bite back, saying that he looked like a philistine businessman, and he didn't know who he looked like. Gao Lishi rolled his eyes again in anger by Li. Looking at Li Mi again, he was picking the bits and pieces of tea leaves on his head one by one with his hands, and he was still smiling on his face, smiling flatteringly at Gao Lishi.
"Humph!" Colliers snorted coldly, put the teacup heavily on the table, and walked out. Gao Xianzhi saw that Gao Lishi was really angry, so he stepped forward and slapped Li Yu on the back of the head, "Don't play, it's over!" After speaking, he shook his head and chased out.
