Chapter 108: Lantian Jade Shattered Starfall (1)
The crows crowed and the owls sang in the twilight of Chang'an, and the soldiers disturbed the fangfang and cried.
In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), at the turn of the third day of March (about 19 o'clock in the evening), in the Chongren Fang of Chang'an, Mrs. Li, who was burning incense and praying in the Buddhist hall, heard that there was a mob in Xuanyangfang, and urgently ordered the Ya soldiers in the river to wield knives and sticks to firmly block the doors of the residential courtyard.
"Tongguan is really lost? Goshuhan, a drunken man, is getting worse and worse at war. If Tongguan is lost, how many days can Chang'an City last? Once the Jingshi fell, the prestige of the saint plummeted, the reputation of King Sheng was damaged, and it was even more difficult for the four seas to be peaceful...... Forget it, it's useless to think too much, for now, we must first prevent the chaotic people from taking advantage of the fire to rob, and when the street is stable, we must leave the backyard from the river and find some people to escort Ji Ang and Xiaoyun out of the city. ”
Although Mrs. Li, who is over forty years old, is a woman, and her husband Ashina Yang is thousands of miles away in Tuozhi City, as a member of the Tang Dynasty, she is not afraid of danger and has not messed up. When Mrs. Li was young, she experienced the congenital change of the sage to destroy Princess Taiping's party, and she did not take the noisy and noisy people in the workshop to heart, but figured out the court pattern behind the turmoil, and calculated how to stay away from the place of right and wrong.
"More than a dozen four-wheeled carriages at home are carefully built by Su Yeju's skilled craftsmen, according to Xiaoyun, the material is no less solid than the chariot under the command of Fei Langjun, carrying people, pulling thin and soft is more than enough, encountering a small group of bandits can also be used as a car formation......"
As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but glance at the east courtyard, and once again felt hatred for her son. Ashina Ji Ang is only one year younger than Wang Fei, and the three words "Fei Langjun" have long been famous all over the world, but his son is still studying in Guozijian. What's even more hateful is that Ashina Jiang has no interest in passing through the state and helping the world, marching and arranging formations, and is obsessed with craftsman's work, tinkering with crossbows and fierce oil fire bottles. Mrs. Li scolded and scolded, beat and beaten, and the helpless and stubborn Ashina Jiang insisted on going her own way and refused to change her teachings.
"Alas, is it possible that you will have to rely on your son-in-law's glorious lintel in the future?" Mrs. Li couldn't laugh or cry.
Wang Fei has a deep affection for Xiaoyun's Ruhai, and Mrs. Li has long been insightful, but when she was in Tingzhou, she thought that Wang Fei was out of the house and had doubts. However, in the past two years, Mrs. Li has acquiesced in her beloved daughter's relationship with Wang Fei and is no longer entangled in her concubine.
It is undeniable that Wang Fei's thriving fame and ability to turn stones into gold are an important reason for Mrs. Li's change of heart. But after all, Mrs. Li is not a country woman with eyes like beans, and a little official and a little wealth are not enough to make her heart shake, and it is Wang Fei's sincere heart that really impresses Mrs. Li.
I know my own family affairs, the bright and unparalleled eldest daughter is deeply loved by the concubine, and there is no shortage of suitors from Tingzhou to Chang'an. Gao Xianzhi's brother-in-law, Wang Zhengjian's sister-in-law, and Li Linfu's eldest grandson...... All of them are the best among the people, and their family background and status are better than Wang Fei's.
But when it comes to affection for his daughter, Wang Jue's selfish desires are too heavy, and Li Renzhi is domineering, neither of them is a good couple; Gao Xiangui is loyal and reliable, but it is a pity that he is lost to Mu Ne, and it is not very pleasant. Only Wang Fei and Mrs. Li only glanced at those dark eyes, and they could see how much pure and unmixed affection was hidden in them.
Of course, Wang Fei is not perfect, and the most troublesome thing for Mrs. Li is that he is too popular with the little lady. Not to mention, the crazy girl born to Mrs. Asrid revolves around Wang Fei all day long, and does not hesitate to go to the battlefield for him. Mrs. Li wanted to persuade a few words, but after all, she was not her own child, and she was separated by a layer of belly. Mrs. Li privately begged her husband to restrain her second daughter a little, but Ashina Yang's reply always took care of him.
"The ice is three feet thick, and the snow covers thousands of miles. My heart is like a pine and cypress, what is the gentleman's affection? Thinking of her husband who was in Tuozhi City with Mrs. Asid, a faint mist filled Mrs. Li's heart.
In the eyes of outsiders, the husband is beautiful and respectful, and he can be called the dragon and phoenix among people, and the sisters in the boudoir are all envious of Mrs. Li's good life, and she is also willing to inadvertently show off the happiness of harmony and respect.
However, in the dead of night and alone in the empty room, Mrs. Li knew that Ashina Yang was really "respectful" to herself. For more than 20 years, he is still a guest drinking tea and chatting in the front hall of Fujun's Heart Courtyard, and Mrs. Asid is the lover who accompanies him in the back house. If it weren't for that, how could the husband be ruthless in recommending the eldest daughter to go out and kiss; If not, how could the husband indulge Ruosi with his second daughter; If it weren't for that, how could Mrs. Asrid blossom in the old tree......
What Mrs. Li is most grateful to Wang Fei is that he used a little trick to get the grace of the concubine and cut off the possibility of the eldest daughter and relatives; What Mrs. Li admires most about Wang Fei is that he is single-minded and unswerving, although he is surrounded by a hundred flowers, he has a soft spot.
"Thinking about it carefully, you are as affectionate as a Langjun, but you are as affectionate as the sea to others......" Thinking of this, Mrs. Li, who was crying, envied Mrs. Pei, who was often despised by everyone, for no reason, and also encountered an eccentric husband, Mrs. Li would only cry alone, and Mrs. Pei dared to show the carriage and horses and fight to the end......
The neighing of horses and the noise of people in front of the door.
When Mrs. Li was secretly sad, there was a sudden sound of a sharp knock on the door in the front yard. She was about to send someone forward to ask, but the soldiers guarding the gate had opened the heavy Zhu Gate.
"See the lady!" Li Dingbang, who was full of murderous energy, gave a salute at will, and dozens of soldiers who came with him were all blood-stained clothes.
"Li soldiers and horses stepped on the threshold of Wuyang's house to get the dispatch of the Wuguan defense envoy, and now he is not guarding the pass, what is the intention of coming to Chang'an?" The fierce murderous aura frightened Mrs. Li back half a step, but seeing that the people who came were all soldiers in the river, she forced the fear in her heart, and scolded with a straight face.
"Where is Ji Anglangjun?" Li Dingbang ignored Mrs. Li's questioning at all, and walked quickly to the east courtyard.
"Stop!" Seeing that Li Dingbang's expression was not good, Mrs. Li opened her arms to stop him: "What's going on?" Could it be that Wuguan has also been lost? ”
"Wuguan is lost, King Sheng is dead, Chang'an is about to change, please take Langjun to return to Tuozhi City quickly!" Li Dingbang's footsteps did not stop: "The lady must not be delayed." ”
"Wuguan was also breached by the rebels?" Mrs. Li was shocked, turned around and wanted to go to the east courtyard to call Ashina Jiang, just took two steps and exclaimed: "It's not good, Xiaoyun Shen was summoned into the palace by the concubine, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back for a while, how can this be a good ......?"
"Please take Ji Anglang Jun to go first, and then return to meet the lord of Xiaoyun after escorting the lady out of the city."
"What about Wenxia?" Mrs. Li asked casually.
"Wenxia's little lady has superb swordsmanship, so there is no need to worry."
"Yes, she studied under Su Shisanniang to protect herself, but Xiaoyun is more dangerous." When the catastrophe came, Mrs. Li naturally cared more about her biological children.
"Don't worry, lady, a broken body will also keep the county lord of Xiaoyun safe!"
"There are Lao Li soldiers and horses to bother!" Mrs. Li, who was a little calm, led Li Dingbang to push the door into the east courtyard, only to see the two little maids who served Ashina Ji Ang with a panicked face.
"Sango, Ruyi, what's going on?" Mrs. Li asked.
"Lady, Ji Ang Langjun...... Ji Anglang Jun ......: "The timid coral trembled and couldn't speak.
"Speak quickly!" The irascible Li Dingbang pulled out the frost blade.
"Ji Anglangjun has sneaked out!" Ruyi mustered up the courage to shout out.
"When is it ......?"
Without waiting for Mrs. Li to finish asking, Li Dingbang put aside the two little maids and broke into Ashinaji's house full of books and instruments to look around, only to see a "Qingxi Hibiscus Picture" with immature brushwork hanging on the bedroom wall.
"There's a commotion outside, how can you let him out? Ji Angke explained where he was going, did he bring anyone with him? Mrs. Li scratched her heart with a hundred claws.
"Half an hour ago, Ji Ang Langjun slipped out of the side door with the tooth soldiers, but he didn't say where he was going." Ruyi said cautiously.
"Why don't you ...... early?"
"Yu Niangzi, I probably guessed where Ji Anglangjun was, so I'm going to bring him back......"
The strings are thunderbolts, and the feathers fly to chase the meteors.
Li Dingbang, who had just stepped out of the house, had not finished speaking, and the sound of breaking the air sounded in front of him, and he swung his knife sharply, and a black arrow was shocked by the lightning and flint.
"Formation!" Li Dingbang gave an order, and ten elite soldiers in the river raised their round shields and horizontal swords to put on a defensive position, while the other ten soldiers clenched their bows and searched for the location of the sneak attackers with wide eyes.
"Li soldiers and horses, you wantonly attacked and killed King Sheng, do you want to put Ashina to death? My father regards you as a confidant, and Ernn will take revenge, which is really hateful! The slightly haggard Ashina Wenxia flew down from the side of the owl kiss, and the three-foot Qingfeng pointed directly at Li Dingbang.
"Little lady Wenxia is really fast!" Li Dingbang was both surprised and delighted: "Hurry up and go down to pick up Ji Ang Xiaolangjun." ”
"Wenxia, aren't you in Hedong?" Mrs. Li, who was standing indoors, didn't care much about the whereabouts of her second daughter: "Also, how do you say that Li Bingma killed King Sheng?" ”
"You want to kidnap Ji Ang as a hostage and leave Beijing safely? Wish for the moon! I'm going to capture you and go to the saints! Ashina Wenxia didn't care about responding to her mother's question, and stood firm and stepped forward.
Sergeant He's soldiers all knew that Ashina Wenxia was a handsome and beloved girl, and he hesitated to make a move, watching her leap over the array with her shield and stab at the soldiers and horses.
Li Dingbang did not embarrass his subordinates, he retreated to the pillar, raised his knife and easily held the blade of the sword, and said in a low voice: "Little lady Wenxia, everything you do is under the orders of the marshal." Taking Ru and Ji Anglang Jun back to the river is the top priority that the festival marshal repeatedly advised! ”
"Nonsense! All the evils are caused by the assassination of King Sheng, don't blame your father. Ashina Wenxia knew that Li Dingbang's strength was amazing, so she used Tai Chi ingenuity to deal with it.
"Little lady Wenxia, there is a handsome handwritten letter, you can see it at a glance." Li Dingbang was angry and anxious, he didn't expect Ashina Wenxia to be so difficult that he had no time to win the trust.
"Despicable tricks, you should be caught." Ashina Wenxia dances the sword like the wind, and a sword is as tight as a sword.
"Little lady Wenxia, you can know the ambition in the chest of the handsome!" In desperation, Li Dingbang had to shout.
