Chapter 44: The encounter is unknown

It's a feeling to be inexplicably regarded as an enemy...... It's just inexplicable. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know that you are being treated as an enemy by others.

Luo Yun didn't know that he had an enemy against him. And this enemy's hatred for him turned out to be from the red-clothed ...... I'm afraid that Hongyi herself doesn't know about her behavior of throwing face at any guest in Zhan Lu Building, and there are still people who are not angry but also very appreciative. Speaking of which, Li Luoyun is also one of them. Hongyi has never given him a good face.

Not to mention, after a busy morning in the animal garden, I was tired and sweaty, and I was stained with a stench. Luo Yun couldn't smell it anymore, because there was no one to help, so the cleanup was not even half completed. During the period, the waiter who was looking for trouble with Luo Yun came a few times in the morning, and Luo Yun's words had an effect. The visitor sneered a few words next to him now, and when he saw that Luo Yun didn't care, he left boringly.

It was nearly noon, Li Luoyun was hungry and thirsty, so he simply threw away the bamboo basket filled with dung, walked to the canal to fetch water to wash his face, and rested for a while. And when Luo Yun leaned under the tree and closed his eyes, Xiao You's figure appeared silently from the woods, guarding Li Luoyun's side. One person and one tiger were confident that they would not be seen by others, but they did not expect that the vision on both sides of the canal was relatively broad. The Qingming Canal is not far from the palace wall to the west. Originally, even ordinary people would not see Xiao Yu when they stood on the city wall. But there is such a person with good eyesight, and he has been staring at him intently since Li Luoyun appeared next to the canal, and he vaguely saw it......

"General Cheng, what are you looking at?"

Cheng Zhijie's eyes narrowed into a line, staring at the shadow under the tree without blinking. The hand hidden under the cloak tightly grasped the handle of the knife, and when he heard the words, Cheng Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he could no longer see the fluctuations and tension in his heart. said to the person with the armor and the half-body bright light armor beside him: "Brother Duan, did you see the person who entered the West Inner Garden last night?" What do you think? ”

The Xuanwu Gate guard, known as Brother Duan, looked at his Shangguan in surprise. General Cheng suddenly came to inspect the palace defense, and dragged him to the city wall of the West Inner Garden, and he really came for a purpose. However, he is often stationed in the palace, and he has seen a lot of treacherous and changeable things, and the person last night was really nothing compared to him. "The general knows the boy?"

"We just met yesterday."

"Huh? Is the general an old acquaintance with his elders? ”

"I've dealt with each other before, but we only met again this morning. Heh, I almost got into a fight. Cheng Zhijie wanted to talk about the-for-tat scene with Li Guangxiung in the morning, although he intended to test the attitude of the Li family. But according to Li Laosi's temper, if there is no red whisk, I am afraid that I will really have to fight. Thinking about the consequences, Cheng Zhijie subconsciously touched his big-bellied belly, and then thought about Li Zhenan's sturdy body...... Phew, it's not necessarily who wins and who loses......

"General, General? What did the general think? Duan Shou called twice, and Cheng Zhijie came back to his senses. I was even more surprised in my heart, when did General Cheng look so absent-minded.

"Nothing. Ay? When I asked you, why did you interrogate me? It's so idle that your skin is itchy! ”

Duan Shou General smiled and laughed at himself: "I have been guarding this Xuanwu Gate all day long, there is a deep palace inner garden inside and outside the door, and no matter how good the scenery is, I will be tired of seeing it for a long time." If the general wants to do it, change me with the old man of Shunyimen? Outside the palace, you can see a little crowd in the market. ”

"Get out! Look at the door, you will become a fairy. If you want to smell the crowds in the market, go back to your kitchen and smell enough on the stove! Cheng Zhijie shook his leg and kicked Duan Shoujiang. Turning back, under the big tree by the canal, Li Luoyun was gone. Cheng Zhijie also turned around and walked back. Duan Shou will hurry up to catch up.

"General, that incident last night was too obvious. Someone in the palace wanted to clean up that kid. The escort only went to the door and didn't care, and the little father-in-law who ordered the order was also pulled away. I just don't know who is waiting for him. I didn't let anyone go from my side, and if General Cheng wants to investigate, I'm afraid he will have to go to Xing'anmen. ”

"Check the fart, that kid is fine. Can we check these things in the palace casually? The ladies of the harem want to make waves, and their own majesty will press them, and it will be our turn to worry about them. Cheng Zhijie frowned and warned, he just couldn't suppress his curiosity today and came to take a look, Li Luoyun himself is blessed with a great life, and it has nothing to do with him, and whoever wants to harm him in the palace can't take his turn. He would never violate His Majesty's taboos.

Duan Shoujiang listened to Cheng Zhijie's warning, but only promised, in fact, he was just a reminder. But he asked, "The general came to see the young man to ...... By the way, who the hell is this kid? ”

"Heh, I can't explain a sentence or two to you. You just have to remember that although His Majesty sent him as a handyman, he personally recognized him as a nephew before! So if he really gets into trouble right in front of you, he can help him. Cheng Zhijie whispered, but his thoughts were also revealed in his words.

Duan Shou General nodded suddenly, and said casually: "I just said, seeing that he was escorted, he even carried the Imperial Sword with him." I knew that he was not an ordinary person, but he was still a relative of the emperor. Which one is it? ”

Seeing the city gate tower, Cheng Zhijie strode in, pulled over a horse stool and sat down, and ran all morning to exhaust him. Duan Shou waved away the guards, poured a pot of cool boiling water himself, and poured it for Cheng Zhijie. Cheng Zhijie picked up the notched pottery bowl and drank it up in one go, put down the bowl and turned his head to look around: "You don't know how comfortable it is to make yourself this nest." ”

"The last general is afraid that it will be too comfortable, so he will not want to leave." Duan Shoujiang grinned, replied in a complicated tone, and sat down with his head down.

Cheng Zhijie glared at Duan Shou and scolded: "Don't be weird with me!" Cheap skin, I don't know how to be blessed in the blessing! Guarding the gate here is not a hundred times stronger than drinking the wind in the desert steppe! If you want to fight, why don't you go to the northwest when Li Jing goes! ”

"Didn't you let me go...... Duan Shou muttered aggrievedly, and it wasn't that he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Whew! You have no conscience, you still don't appreciate it if you give you a fat difference! Just know to hit and fight! Then you go to the northwest to find Li Jing! ”

"Good! The general agreed? Duan Shoujiang was so happy that he almost didn't jump up, stammering to add water to Cheng Zhijie, his eyes staring at Cheng Zhijie for fear that he would regret it.

Cheng Zhijie rolled his eyes, raised his leg and kicked over, this time Duan Shou was prepared and dodged away. Cheng Zhijie pointed at him and scolded: "Want to go? It's late! Li Jing's victory document arrived yesterday! The Northwest is going to be finished! You'll have to sweep the floor behind your butt if you go! ”

"Huh?" Duan Shoujiang was saddened, suddenly had no hope, and the water did not pour, so he shrugged his head and sat back.

Cheng Zhijie looked at his virtue, and continued to scold with hatred: "Look at your depressed appearance!" You know what if you fight, if you win? Now what kind of virtue are those civil officials in the court, and after such a big victory against the Turks, Brother Li, Li Ji, and none of them are in Taoguang, for fear of being impeached again. You've experienced it yourself, but you still don't understand! ”

"What can a soldier do without fighting all his life? Can the gate guard a big general? Duan Shou defended unconvinced.

"Aren't I just teaching you to keep your eyes on Taoguang! How old are you, and your days are still long! Honestly, show me the door for a few more days. When the opportunity is right, I will let you out! When the time comes, whether you can fight for a wife and a shadow depends on whether you have the ability! Cheng Zhijie saw that his love was about to be depressed, but he was also soft-hearted and comforted. But who can say for sure in the dispute between the court. Wei Guogong was just a little victorious this time, and he was hacked by these people. If we really return from a big victory, I don't know what the situation will be. Fortunately, there is still Your Majesty......

"General! The general is not good! The anxious shouts outside made the two of them stand up vigilantly. Before Cheng Zhijie could open his mouth to ask, the wooden door was knocked open, and a personal guard under Cheng Zhijie broke into the door and shouted: "General! Something happened! ”

Cheng Zhijie frowned and asked: "What can happen in the blue sky and daylight, panic like this, say!" ”

"General, the court has just dispersed. His Majesty returned to the Ganlu Hall angrily, and immediately sent someone to urgently summon the general into the palace! ”

"So what? It must be that Wei Zheng's gang is angry with Your Majesty again, and this is also worth your yelling? ”

"No, General! Your Majesty's wrath is directed at you! The guard wiped the sweat on his face, and said in a panicked voice: "The Han general on duty at the court meeting has passed the news, and today the court meeting has said that two things have involved the eldest prince, and His Majesty is very displeased. After the court meeting, he only called the eldest grandson and the eldest man to stay, and it is said that he was furious and scolded the general a few words. Then he urgently summoned the general into the palace to play the right! The guard changed his tone and continued: "The Suzaku Gate where the envoy left, should have just left the palace right now. ”

Cheng Zhijie frowned, sat back without saying a word, and waved his hand to let the guards retreat. The guards saluted and exited the door, and closed the door. General Duan Shou looked at the general's face and looked worried, and his heart was half relaxed: "General, the eldest prince won't be in trouble, right?" ”

Cheng Zhijie said angrily: "Who knows what happened to that unproductive person!" ”

"Your Majesty summoned you to the palace, not to ask the eldest prince. It seems that it is just to get angry, and the general is wronged, and it will be okay for His Majesty to be angry. ”

"Well, not necessarily. Recently, His Majesty's anger has been too great, and it is not easy to get His Majesty to dissipate his anger. That son of a scumbag has to suffer a little. Saying that, Cheng Zhijie raised his finger and pointed outside, and said jokingly: "Isn't that Your Majesty's nephew also punished to do miscellaneous labor." ”

As he was talking, someone knocked on the wooden door and reported: "General, my subordinates have something to report." Duan Shou asked Cheng Zhijie with his eyes and opened his mouth to call people in. But it was a team under the command of Duan Shoujiang.

"What?"

"General Cheng, Brother Duan, a team of messengers who passed the kilometer just now. The subordinate knew one of the brothers who was accompanying him, so he asked a few questions. He said that His Majesty sent an edict to escort the son who passed last night to Chang'an County for trial, and bring it back after the trial. The subordinates felt that this matter was a little strange, and they came to report to the general. ”

Cheng Zhijie smiled with satisfaction and praised him: "You are clever." He reached out and took out a few copper coins and threw them to the team: "Take it and drink with the brothers!" ”

The team was happily taking it and gave a military salute: "General Xie!" ”

"Let's go down."

"No."

When the team was closing the door again, Cheng Zhijie took a sip of water, patted his ass and stood up: "It's still for that kid's business." It seems that my eldest man will have to suffer a little bit as well. You go ahead and watch the door, I'm leaving. ”

"Where is the general?"

"Where else can I go, kowtow to His Majesty and admit my mistake!" Cheng Zhijie waved his hand indifferently and strode out of the gatehouse. He commanded his subordinates: "Go find Da Lang Erlang." If you are not in the house, you will go to the yamen, why don't you go to the flower building! No matter where they are, after finding it, they immediately tied me up and sent them to the palace gate to wait! You can't do this, call Cheng Yi first, tell him what I said, and let him bring someone to do it! ”

"No."

Whether the two sons of the Cheng family will be offended, Luo Yun doesn't know. Luo Yun only looked at the few palace supervisors who appeared in front of him, as well as the shackles held by the Yulin guards behind them, and he knew that he was going to suffer again. "Isn't it possible that I still have to wear shackles to remove feces?"

The chamberlain who ordered the order was still the one who went to Chang'an County yesterday to summon Li Luoyun, but he was also familiar with it. smiled and explained to Li Luoyun modestly: "Li Gongzi don't be careful. His Majesty has not yet concluded the case of his son, and today the court specially ordered Chang'an County to try the case, summon all parties, make a disposition, and give an explanation to the people. Childe will be relieved to be on an errand here in the future. Hehe......"

Li Luoyun stared at the chamberlain for a while, and his mind turned a few times, but he didn't understand what the emperor meant. "If I heard me right, what does my father-in-law mean is that I will finish the court, close the case, and then come back to continue to do chores and remove manure?"

The waiter smiled and narrowed his eyes, as if he was very happy that Li Luoyun understood what he meant, and nodded happily and said, "Li Gongzi is really smart. After a pause, he added, "This is what Your Majesty meant." ”

Li Luoyun nodded, he was sure of one thing, that is, the emperor was not ready to let him go. However, it is good that the case can be successfully concluded, and the red clothes will be temporarily stable, and the matter of getting rid of slavery can be slowly planned. Come to think of it. Li Luoyun put down the wooden shovel, patted the dust on his body, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go?" ”

The chamberlain looked Li Luoyun up and down, his body was dirtier than when he was in prison yesterday, and there was a more stench, and he looked more like a prisoner in prison. But the whole person is full of energy, the sweat on his forehead has not dried, but he is not tired. The guard stepped forward to put on shackles for Li Luoyun, but the chamberlain waved his hand to stop him: "Just put it on when you leave the palace." After such a long journey, Li Gongzi walked out of the palace gate in shackles, how could he still have the strength to go to the court. ”

Li Luoyun raised his eyebrows and smiled, and thanked him: "Thank you father-in-law for your understanding, Luoyun feels it in my heart." ”

"It's okay, it's just a little thing." I don't know what the reason is, but today I always smile and have an indescribable humility. Before leaving, the chamberlain suddenly remembered something and glanced back at Li Luoyun: "Li Gongzi, where is the sword given by His Majesty?" After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the steward of the West Inner Garden. He naturally knew that those Yin Si Dao in the palace were clear, but this time they chose the wrong person.

The steward is still above this inner servant according to his grade, but it is not as good as the West Inner Garden, and the people are walking in front of the palace. The steward received a glimpse of the warning from the chamberlain, and hurriedly wanted to explain, but Li Luoyun spoke first: "Father-in-law didn't say it, I almost forgot, I thought I was in the way of work, so I put it under the tree over there." Wait a minute, father-in-law, I'll come when I go. ”

Li Luoyun turned around and walked towards the woods, hoping that he was not too strong, and Xiao Youneng quickly got the sword down. But just after taking a few steps, I thought about a hissing in my mind! Li Luoyun suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked into the woods! A flash of light flashed in his eyes, his expression was solemn, and he couldn't stop.

"Li Gongzi?"

Li Luoyun slowly retracted his gaze, looked back and said with a smile: "The monkeys in this West Inner Garden are tired, don't let them pick up the sword and play with it." Father-in-law waits. After speaking, he walked quickly to a tree, reached under the tree, took out the Fire Phoenix Sword, brushed away a few dead grasses on it, and hung it on his waist. Walking back to the inner attendant, his expression had returned to calm: "You have to wait for a long time, let's go." ”

Li Luoyun left, but the West Inner Garden was not calm. Xiao You failed to keep up with Li Luoyun, but ran back to Qihu Stream. The two tigers, who were rarely well fed, trembled and fell to the ground, throwing their bodies to the ground. Xiao You ignored the two sick tigers, staring at the intruder sitting on the top of the mountain!

Yonghe! The arrogant monkey who grinned and made a skythirsty appearance was Yonghe. It found it! If you don't go vicious, I'm afraid that something will happen to Chang'an City again.
