Chapter 13: Trouble Comes
Chang'an City, the political and cultural center of the world at that time. The Tai Chi Palace is the hub of this center, and the people who live and work here control the functioning of the country and influence the changes in the world. At this time, the emperor discussed several state affairs with several prime ministers of the political hall. Because he was rejected, he was rejected by the stubborn Wei Zheng in the treatment of Turkic, Tuyuhun and other countries, and his heart was very unhappy. At this time, another attendant came to tell him, saying that the queen's condition suddenly worsened last night.
I was seriously ill last night, and it was almost noon before I came to report to him. Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty, couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and could no longer suppress the anger in his chest. Without waiting for the waiter to finish speaking, it is a kick to raise his leg! Kicked a little chamberlain on his heels. "If the queen has a case, I will kill you! Hum! After scolding angrily, Li Shimin walked away, walked past the waiter who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and shook his leg and kicked again. Immediately left the prime ministers and ignored them, and hurriedly went straight to the Lizheng Palace.
Wei Zheng looked at the emperor's departing back and opened his mouth to say something, but finally turned into a light hum, looked down at the chapter in front of him, and ignored it. Fang Xuanling watched the little chamberlain struggling on the ground to get up and catch up with the emperor, but he stumbled several times and couldn't stand steadily. Your Majesty's martial arts are extraordinary, so it is so uncomfortable to be angry. Fang Xuanling got up and picked it up, and asked, "How is Niangniang now?" ”
The waiter couldn't help but clean up his messy clothes and thanked Fang Xuanling, and when he heard the question, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved and said: "Last night, Sun Daochang and Zhen Taichang were often in the palace, and the treatment was timely. ”
When the prime ministers in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Shangshu's left servant shot Xiao Yu and couldn't help laughing and scolded the waiter: "Since the mother is fine, you just say it." deflected such a corner, which made His Majesty anxious, and he was kicked twice in vain. As soon as these words came out, the others also taught the little chamberlain a lesson, saying that he couldn't speak and do things, and he deserved to be beaten.
The little chamberlain was aggrieved in his heart, and he wanted to explain the reason for the matter to His Majesty, maybe he could ask for a reward. Who would have thought that when he bumped into the emperor with a bad temper, he would be kicked twice in vain. Now that he was told by the prime ministers, the chamberlain also felt shameless, so he hid his face in pain and ran out of the political hall.
Outside the side gate of the Lu Guogong Mansion, it was finally confirmed that the old benefactor was still alive and well, and had become the incomparably noble prince of the imperial court. Cheng Wu stood there stunned, motionless no matter how Mu'er called. Tears that had not appeared since the moment they fled the battlefield had long since blurred their eyes and dripped down their rough cheeks......
The steward of the Cheng Mansion saw a lot of poor relatives who wanted to come to fight the autumn wind and climbed the relationship, and once those people confirmed that the person they were looking for was in the mansion, which one was not ecstatic, and of course they had to wipe a few tears with a smile. So although Cheng Wu's expression was a little different, he didn't care too much. This person can call out the old man's former name and surname, it must be the old master's old acquaintance. With the old man's temperament, he really doesn't care if this person is here to eat. And it's always right to say hello first. "Since this strong man is an old acquaintance of my master, he might as well come in first to rest his legs and feet and have some tea and rice. My lord went on a business trip, and when the lord comes back, he will ...... again."
"Huh!? The general is not at home? Cheng Wu turned around in Mu'er's swaying, couldn't help but turn his back, lowered his head and raised his sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. As soon as he heard that Engong was not in the mansion, he hesitated a little, and hugged his fist at the old steward and said, "I wonder when the general will be able to come back?" ”
Cheng Wu saluted, but the old steward confirmed that this person was old with his own master. At first glance, this action is out of the soldiers, and the posture and the old man's generals are simply carved out of the same mold. "My lord is on duty in the barracks on weekdays, and he usually doesn't return home until after the time, and of course sometimes he stays directly in the barracks. Strong men and enter the house to rest first......"
Cheng Wu listened to the words of the old steward, although he had made up his mind in his heart, he still regretted it. finally knew the whereabouts of the general, but he was lucky to see it. Luo Yun was still waiting for him, although Mrs. Li stopped him, but Yun'er was not in good health, so he had to hurry back to Yunshan. I can't delay Luo Yun's body any longer for my own business.
Fortunately, I know that the general is alive and well, and he is extremely rich, so he doesn't need to repay anything. Wait for another day to bring Mu'er to Chang'an to thank the general for his great grace. Thinking of this, Cheng Wu bowed his hand again and said, "Thank you, old steward!" It's just that I still have important things to do, so I have to leave today. I asked the old steward to wait for the general to come back and help me report to the general, and then said, 'The grace of the surname is the same as reconstruction, and Cheng Wu will not dare to forget the general's grace for a day.' There is something to see today, and he will come to thank the general again with his son one day! ’”
After speaking, Cheng Wu bowed to the ground, got up and didn't wait for the old steward to say anything, and left with Mu'er. The old steward couldn't stop him, and couldn't help but be surprised, but he silently recited the name Cheng Wu a few times in his heart, and saw Cheng Wu walk across the street and disappeared, the old steward turned around and felt that it was better to go to Mrs. to report it. If he really has a relationship with the master, but he didn't keep people, with the master's explosive temper, he might have to eat a meal.
Cheng Wu came to the gate of the Duke of Lu's Mansion, led Mu'er to kneel solemnly in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, and stood up three times. The guards guarding the door were all surprised when they saw this posture, and they looked at each other at a loss. Fortunately, Cheng Wu's father and son led the carriage away after worshipping, leaving the guards to speculate with each other about who this person was and what it had to do with their own general. However, the servant who was the first to talk to Cheng Wu's father and son was sent by the old steward to follow them to see where their father and son had settled, and followed them all the way.
Cheng Wu was emotionally agitated all the way, and told Mu'er a lot of past events when he fought with General Cheng. Cheng Mu also heard these past events for the first time, and his mood fluctuated with his father's story. It wasn't until he left the gate and drove onto Chang'an Avenue that Cheng Mu suddenly felt that the road was too quiet.
suddenly remembered that it was too abnormal for Xiao You to be so quiet all the way, so he hurriedly turned around and opened the curtain to see: "Where is Xiao You!?" ”
The sun has reached the sky, and the autumn sun is warm. There was a prosperous scene of people coming and going on Chang'an Avenue, and the nobles and sons who had nothing to do also began to travel in groups. or go out of the city to hunt with a yellow bow, or staggering into the teahouse and restaurant. Of course, the one who had just climbed out of the hibiscus tent and was about to go home.
Xiao Gongzi is such a person who is preparing to go home. Last night, he rolled three times in the gentle township, and this morning he couldn't even get out of bed, but he was clean. But seeing that it is almost noon, I treat my companion as a hurry, if I don't go back, the master will not be able to spare the young master when he returns home, let alone spare him! So regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he simply pulled Xiao Gongzi up from the arms of the two plump women, put on his clothes, and rushed home in the carriage on his back. As a result, when I came to the door of the workshop, I found that the door was closed!
Xiao Gongzi glared at the curtain and glanced at it, and said angrily to his companion: "I said it's still early, the door hasn't opened yet, what are you anxious about!" It disturbed my good dreams in vain, young master, alas, ......" After speaking, he fell crooked in the car again to make up for sleep.
Bandang looked at the Jinwu guards blocking the door, and Fang Ding and Wuhou who were jumping up and down and didn't know what they were doing, and nodded silently, he didn't expect Gongzi to see it, but just muttered: "Okay...... There's an excuse...... Should...... It's okay......"
It's okay? Zhou Li of Pingkangfang didn't think so. This Pingkang Fang is not big, and there are no powerful people living in it. But those who come and go are either rich or expensive! On weekdays, he should receive a lot of filial piety, but if these people who are not rich or expensive really make something happen in the workshop, he doesn't care about anything, and it is not his turn to take care of a small workshop. Any family member who comes out is much more noble than him.
But this time he really couldn't hide if he wanted to, and before the mansion of Jingzhao Mansion arrived, he had the only "military force" in Pingkangfang. If that group of men with whistle sticks of different lengths is considered an armed force......
Closing the door, maintaining law and order, and waiting for rescue, this is what Zhou Fang can do. All that left was to pray for Jin Wuwei to arrive quickly and curse the monster for not dying......
"You bunnies, it's two streets away! I can't stand up straight! All his NND let the suck dry! Hurry up and move the barricades and seal me here and there! Whoever rubs it off again will go and guard Zhan Lu Lou for me!! ”
This last sentence is too much of a deterrent. "Coax!" With a sound, the sound of birds dispersed. There are also those who move barricades, and there are those who take the opportunity to slip away, anyway, no one dares to appear within three feet of Zhou Fangzheng's side, for fear of being caught and staring at Zhan Lulou.
Although the citizens at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an are also well-informed, it is not unheard of to hunt and bring back a tiger. But that's what the emperor and the general fought! It's not their little clubs.
Besides, is that a tiger! There are more than 20 members of the Wei family, and all of them are good at fists and feet, and they have been in battle. But what was the result? It's all down! Not even a single hair of that monster was broken! Don't look at how powerful Zhou Fangzheng is now, but he is not the first to take the lead, and he ran out of five streets in one go. If it weren't for the unlucky Wei Gongzi who was still in the hands of that monster, he couldn't wait to run out of the workshop!
At present, although the door is closed, the street is closed, waiting for Jingzhao Mansion to send someone. But as the old saying goes: the trapped beast fights. Isn't this a real 'trapped beast'? If that monster really goes berserk, can his small body be hit by a claw? It's better to hide home early, Pingkangfang is so big, why wouldn't that monster just run to his house?
With this kind of idea that a friend of the dead will not die in poverty, he was getting busier and farther away in Zhou Fangzheng's sight, and they were shouting to move here and there, and then move around and the road was not blocked, and the solid people disappeared. The angry Zhou Fang stomped his feet and ran to the door of the fang......
Luo Yun's first trip to Chang'an was destined to make some noise.
At this time, the Zhanlu building was already in a mess, and the inside and outside of the building were as if they had just been robbed and crossed. Half of the gatehouse collapsed, and the windows on the first floor were shattered by four, one of which still had two legs hanging from it. The steps in the middle of the staircase were smashed, and there was more than one person lying underneath......
And in the wide lobby, at this time, lay the Wei family's parts. The Wei Gongzi, who was extremely arrogant before, clamoring to tear down the building and strip off his red clothes and throw them on the street, was torn his pants and moaned on the threshold of Zhan Lulou at this time...... He was the luckiest, he was the only one in the earth who could still make a movement, and as for whether he was still sane or not, only he knew.
Luo Yun stood blankly at the staircase on the second floor, looking at the scene in front of him, and smiled helplessly and then sighed. Anyway, that's how it goes. As for whether it can be good...... It seems that there is no hope. Thinking of this, Luo Yun held on to the handrail of the stairs to jump over the collapse in the middle, and first said to Fanier, who was trembling in horror, and said apologetically: "The bad cat in the house scares the two ladies." I beg your pardon for messing up the place. ”
This inexplicable apology not only made Jenier forget her fear for a while, but also shifted the attention of everyone in the hall who was still panicked from the terrible black shadow to Luo Yun, who was pretending to be indifferent in a white shirt.
