Chapter Twenty-Six: The Scarlet Tyrant Descends the Flag
The Chang'an County Ya has not been so noisy for a long time. Lin County's face turned pale as he watched as the craftsman held a few wooden stakes, stood on the ladder and gestured to the small window, studying how to repair it. An errand officer trotted up to him and reported, "My lord, those three men are awake." Miao Xianzun ordered the arraignment. ”
"Hmm." County Lieutenant Lin held the handle of the knife in his hand, snorted coldly, and said no more.
Seeing that County Lieutenant Lin's face was not good, the messenger thought of sharing his worries for his own adults, and came up with an idea: "My lord, you see that these three people are strong and their origin is unknown, why don't you hand them over to Dali Temple for review......
Before the errand officer finished speaking, the county lieutenant Lin kicked the errand and kicked the errand down, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be hidden: "Transfer to Dali Temple!" You can't figure it out! You can't be embarrassed enough?! Who the hell locked them in? Who was on duty last night? Wang Jin! Go find him! Let him explain it to the county lord himself! ”
After roaring violently, County Lieutenant Lin kicked the errand twice again in anger. Turning his head, he saw the craftsman shivering on the ladder with a frightened face, and the stakes in his hands had fallen. "Look at what! Fix a fart! Just find a brick to seal it! Have the ability to let them break through the wall next time. Hum! After saying it angrily, Lieutenant Lin left without looking back. The trial and arrest of the prison were under the responsibility of the county lieutenant, and such an unbelievable thing happened, no matter what the reason, he, the county lieutenant, could not escape the crime of dereliction of duty. At this time, Miao County's order did not question him first, and directly interrogated the three people, obviously no longer caring about him. In the case that it is difficult to protect himself, the county lieutenant Lin must push out the responsibility, and find a scapegoat at the worst!
Luo Yun sat cross-legged on the straw couch, with a quilt specially taken care of by Zheng Zhubo under his buttocks. It's just that I don't know who the owner of this broken quilt is, not to mention the black shiny quilt, and the sour smell makes Xiao You disgusted. Luo Yun would rather cover it with thatch than cover it. Fortunately, I wore a lot of clothes, and it wasn't so cold at night. Last night, Xiao Yu came to accompany him.
Stopping at the footsteps of the departing Lin County Lieutenant outside the wall, Luo Yun guessed that this Lin County Lieutenant should not be from the Wei family, otherwise he would not be so annoyed and angry. Thinking back to the words and deeds of those three people when they came in last night, if Xiao You hadn't appeared in time, he would probably lose half his life if he didn't die. I really didn't expect the Wei family to react so quickly, and they refused to wait all night.
However, thinking about the attitude shown by Zheng Zhubo when he came to check, Luo Yun felt that the Wei family's move was really unwise. Even if the original person was biased, he would not be convenient with the Wei family in the future, and the Chang'an County Ya made such a fuss, and the three fires of the new official of Miao County can be justifiably burned.
"But it's dangerous...... Fortunately, there is a little ...... "For the first time, he was in the midst of insidious tricks and was threatened with murder and persecution. Alone in a dark prison, without his uncle and brother to defend him. There was no ancestor and Xiao You standing behind him, and Luo Yun really felt the helplessness and fear.
The prison was secluded, with a musty smell wafting through it, staring at the mottled walls indifferently, Luo Yun reflected on what he had done since coming to Chang'an. He was like a reckless and ignorant teenager, willful and reckless, unconsciously provoking those he couldn't deal with. In the end, he not only dragged himself into prison, but also affected his relatives. Speaking of which, how much stronger is his behavior than that of Wei Yi? The difference is that Wei Yi has always relied on his family background, while he has always relied on Yunshan.
With a deep breath, Luo Yun buried his head in the middle of his knees, reflecting, thinking, and growing......
If the old lady Li Guangxiong knew about Luo Yun's introspection, he might be pleased with his grandson's growth. But when he learns that someone is trying to harm his grandson, he smashes the table in a rage. Although the tiger is old, its power is still there. The old man walked around the room angrily, and Li Zhenan buried his head in the bowl and picked up rice, as if he hadn't eaten three meals. Li Kun stood aside with a nervous expression, looking at his grandfather for a while, and his father for a while, not daring to speak. Cheng Mu stood by the door with a worried face, his father was not there, his mother had not returned, and Zhenyue was also left in the backyard, feeling a little helpless for a while.
Li Zhenan swallowed the last bite of the dish, picked up the kettle and poured it down. With a snap, he threw the kettle on the table, stood up, picked up the whistle stick, and walked out. Li Guangxiung's eyes widened and he shouted, "Come back!" What are you going to do! ”
"I'm going to break Wei Jiazi's legs!" Li Zhenan ran out of the door without looking back, his face was still as calm as he had just now, his eyes were round, his eyes were red, and his cheeks jumped suddenly because of the force of his teeth. Apparently the anger is at the extreme!
"Stop for Lao Tzu! Li Zhenan! Hold it! You dare to disobey Lao Tzu and cut you! Li Guangxiong was also very angry, this fierce appearance frightened Li Kun and Cheng Mu dumbfounded, shrunk together, and did not dare to move.
Li Zhenan didn't dare to disobey the old man, he snorted angrily, and the whistle stick hit the ground heavily, the green bricks were not broken but more than an inch into the stone, and fine cracks were densely covered on it.
"You are not familiar with the people in the capital, where can you find the Wei family! Why don't you grow a brain after so many years! The old man strode behind Li Guangxiong, raised his crutches and tapped his back twice. Li Zhenan stood up and didn't look back. Li Guangxiung didn't care about his virtue, and threw down the sentence "Stand and wait!" Then he turned and went back to the house.
After a while, Li Guangxiong walked out with a wooden box and instructed Cheng Mu and Kun'er: "Go prepare the car and leave the house." Mu'er went to find someone to ask how to get to the Mansion of the Kingdom of China. Seeing the two leave, Li Guangxiong opened the wooden box and took out an oiled paper bag. walked up to Li Zhen'an again and threw the oil paper bag on Li Zhen'an.
The oiled paper was torn and fell to the ground, leaking a corner of the dark red cloth inside. Li Zhenan originally stood with his head held high, and caught a glimpse of the red corner on the ground out of the corner of his eyes, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly squatted down to pick it up and held it in his hand.
Li Guangxiong hugged the wooden box and snorted coldly: "You can still remember your wild boar head!" Come with me, don't lose the face of Li Jiazhai and your eldest brother! ”
"No! It's just ......" Li Zhenan asked hesitantly: "The handsome women are gone, so will Chai Shao pay attention to us?" ”
Li Guangxiong held the wooden box in front of him, and his eyes caressed: "He just doesn't want to care, he is still the husband of a handsome woman, and he can't wipe his face in front of everyone to refuse." ”
Light clouds, lazily floating in the blue sky. Caravans and merchants shuttling between the city and the city, with the sun on their heads, walk on the long streets. A few galloping horses passed by, bringing up a puff of smoke and dust. The walking farmer, who was flashing by the roadside, looked at the knights who were far away, and said to his companion in astonished amazement, "How is it that so many soldiers have entered the city today?" Don't have an accident, right? ”
The companion carried two loads of vegetables, and walked forward without raising his head: "What kind of foolish mind!" So how many people don't wear armor, what can happen? Fuss. ”
A group of three or four people, either on horseback or on foot. Occasionally, acquaintances may meet, greet each other affectionately, and move in the same direction together. If you swoop down from the air, you will find that dozens of groups of sergeants are converging towards the same mansion. And the chariots and horses of the people of Lijiazhai followed behind these people.
At this time, in the Mansion of the Kingdom of China, the altar talisman had already been laid out in the front yard. The Taoist of Changqing from the Yuandu Temple, with seven seven and forty-nine Taoist priests, sat cross-legged according to the direction of the nine palaces, and the fasting and dipping ritual had lasted all morning.
The spiritual seat of Princess Pingyang Zhao is enshrined in the main hall, and Her Majesty and the Queen Mother in the palace sent people to send sacrifices early in the morning, and the royal relatives and nobles are also rushing to pay respects. Above the court, the important ministers of the three Taiwan and six departments, regardless of their relatives, also wrote sacrifices or sent sacrifices. As for the people who came to worship in person, most of them were the old ministers of the state and ...... Princess Zhao's old ministry.
Three bearded and shy-faced strong men entered the main hall together to worship Princess Zhao. Later, under the guidance of the servants, he went to rest in the lotus garden. Watching the three of them strut with their heads held high, they sat in the banquet with a golden sword. The two brocade-clothed boys standing under the corridor frowned and glanced at them, and one of them, a weak-crowned young man with a slightly chubby body and an elegant temperament, asked, "Where did this military man come from, so rude." ”
The other looked old, but his expression was still green. He pursed his eyebrows and looked at the people carefully for a while before he speculated and said, "It should be Qiu Shili, He Panren's subordinates." ”
"Heh......" The young man shook his head and said boringly, "Who is He Panren?" Cousin, are you teasing me? ”
"Hehe, Qingque, you have never liked martial arts. And ask what these vulgar generals do? ”
"My cousin didn't know, I went to say hello to my mother yesterday. The queen mother specially talked about my aunt's old affairs, and I answered the question for a while, and was reprimanded by the queen mother. Qingque said that he would not look at the three of them anymore, and walked along the green corridor boredly.
"I see. But I'm not familiar with these people. The eldest brother knows more, if you want to know, it is better to let the eldest brother tell you. "The one who can be called a cousin by the fourth prince Li Tai is, of course, Chai Lingwu, the son of Chai Shao, the Duke of the State of Chen.
Li Tai walked aimlessly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Brother Zhewei is busy greeting guests, don't trouble him." ”
Chai Lingwu smiled disappreliantly: "Qingque, you have always liked literature and don't like martial arts, so you are not interested." In fact, the matter of military strategy is still very interesting. Your Majesty can be good at literature and martial arts, and you should not be too biased. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone coming out of the main hall, and he happened to know the person who came, so he couldn't help but point to the pedestrian and said: "The way to be handsome is to know people and make good use of them." Always know the talents of your subordinates, so that you can assign tasks. This is the same principle as governance, just like this person, what does Qingque think he can do above the military array? ”
Li Tai casually turned his head and glanced at the people. The leader had a resolute complexion, clearly visible scars on his cheeks and neck, and the fierce look in his eyes made the servants who led the way nervous. "This man looks like a fierce general. Well...... Can you be a pioneer? ”
Chai Lingwu stroked his palms and praised when he heard this: "Qingque is really smart and clever, and has a unique vision. This person's name is Duan Jinglei, and he is a general who is committed to good governance. When his mother subdued Xiang Shanzhi, he commanded 3,000 sword and axe troops, all of whom were bloody warriors, charging through the formation, attacking the city, and being invincible. And this section of Jing Lei is the leading general of the Sword and Axe Battalion. Hehe, I remember he had a nickname called the Circuit Breaker. said that as long as he was in the way, the enemy would not want to leave. ”
Li Tai listened interestingly, and couldn't help but look at the 'Duan Lushi' a few more times. was about to ask again, but he heard a person next to him say contemptuously: "Three thousand swords and axes, less than a hundred tyrants." At present, it is difficult to open the axe. Duan Jinglei can't get past this hurdle in this life. ”
Li Tai and Chai Lingwu looked at the sound, and it turned out that Chai Zhewei walked under the corridor at some point, and happened to hear their discussion.
"Big brother."
"Cousin."
Chai Zhewei's style is steady and heroic, he bowed back to Li Tai, nodded to the second brother and asked, "You didn't accompany your father to entertain guests in the side hall, why did you come here?" ”
"Qingque is interested in these old parts of my mother's past, so I came to take a look."
"Oh. Actually, it's not much to see. At that time, several major generals under my mother's command are now stationed outside. Those who came were all partial generals, school captains and other officials to be representatives. Nothing too remarkable. Chai Zhewei raised his eyes and saw that Jing Lei was talking to the servants and stayed in the courtyard and never left, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then said with displeasure in his heart: "This Jing Lei is brave, but he is not very obedient. I heard that in Zhichong Mansion, he also repeatedly contradicted the officials and violated military discipline. Before Wei Guogong went on the expedition, he asked for orders to accompany the army, but was rejected by Wei Guogong. I'm afraid I came here this time because I asked my father to get a job. ”
Li Tai sneered when he heard this, looked at Duan Jinglei and shook his head, and the previous bit of praise was brushed away like dust. "It turned out to be just a reckless man. By the way, what is the tyrant that my cousin just said? ”
"Dominate the ......" Chai Zhewei's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of his mother's mourning hall, and his tone couldn't help but be solemn: "Back then, there was a battalion of guards in the personal guard army around my mother, who was in charge of supervising military discipline and marching law. The whole battalion is only 300 people, and it is unparalleled in its might, and it is called a tyrant. The blood-colored tyrant lowered the negative mountain banner and shocked the whole army! ”
Chai Lingwu had never seen his mother's pro-army when he was young, so he didn't understand the sonorous excitement in his brother's words. "I've also heard the generals talk about the Baxia camp when they were drinking and chatting, but I haven't seen the characters in it, today's mother's death, have the people from the Baxia camp been here?"
Chai Zhewei shook his head gloomily, and was just about to speak, but he saw a door-guarding steward hurriedly running into the courtyard, and when he saw him, he trotted over, and greeted him from a distance: "Young Master, go to the door and have a look!" Four people came to the door, but they insisted on entering the house to worship without a name, and the goalkeepers couldn't stop them and were knocked down! ”
"What!? Who dares to come to my Chai family to make trouble! The three sons under the corridor were taken aback when they heard this, and Chai Zhewei was furious, picked up the hem of his clothes and ran towards the mansion. Chai Lingwu instructed the steward to call someone to copy the guy, and he also ran away.
Li Tai couldn't catch up with the two of them because he was fat, but he didn't want to miss the excitement, so he trotted behind. But I heard a shout from the courtyard: "Who dares to come to the Mansion of the Kingdom of China to spread wildness!" The handsome heroine is on top, see that I Duan Jinglei doesn't kill these thugs! ”
Li Tai stopped when he heard the sound, and saw Duan Xunlei, who had been lingering outside the main hall gate before, took the waist knife from his subordinates, stood majestically in front of the altar and shouted those words, and walked towards the gate of the mansion with his head held high. This gesture is beautiful!
A circle had already formed in front of the Mansion of the Kingdom of China. It's not that the people in this capital love to watch the excitement, in front of the general mansion, the common people have long avoided it. Most of the onlookers were soldiers and servants who came to worship, as well as guards from the Ministry of the National Government. But it was such a group of people who were all in battle, but they were cautiously surrounded but no one ventured.
Because, the first to do it has already been laid down.
In the center of the crowd, the servants of the eight princes of the state of China were huddled on the ground, not unconscious, but unable to get up miserably. And after these eight people, Li Zhenan spent a lot of time playing with the whistle stick in his hand, like an idler watching the excitement, as if it was not him who had just let down the eight people without saying a word. Standing behind his father with the horse, he was nervous about helping, but he didn't want these people to be so unbearable. These onlookers are the same, and they don't dare to do it.
In fact, the onlookers are not afraid of anything, but after all, this is the gate of the Mansion of the Kingdom of China, and it is naturally handled by the Mansion of the Kingdom of China, and it is not good for outsiders to interfere casually. The result is such a stalemate.
The old man Li Guangxiong ignored these people, seeing that the steward ran into the mansion, no one paid attention to them. Li Guangxiung pushed Li Zhenan away and motioned for him to show the flag. He pinned the wooden box to the doorway, knelt on the ground, and leaned over to open the wooden box.
The two brothers were running to the door, and saw a white-haired old man kneeling in front of the door, looking at each other in surprise, not feeling like they were here to make trouble, so they didn't make a noise. I don't want the two masters of them to speak, but a strong one rushed out behind them.
I saw Duan Jinglei rushing out of the door with a horizontal knife and three personal guards, and glanced at Li Zhen'an, who was standing behind the eight servants lying on his stomach, pointed at the horizontal knife, and scolded loudly: "Where did the madman come from, dare to go to General Chai's door to spread wild!" Eat me with a knife! As he spoke, he raised his knife and rushed down the steps. Li Guangxiong leaned over and knelt in front of the steps to block Duan Jinglei's way, and Duan Jinglei jumped up. The guards behind him kicked at Li Guangxiung.
When Duan Jinglei rushed out, Li Zhenan was carefully opening the oiled paper bag and taking out the flag inside. Hearing Duan Jinglei's scolding, Li Zhenan frowned and looked up, and saw a big man about to skip over the old lady's head! Between the lightning and flint, Li Zhenan held the flag in one hand, jumped forward with tiger steps, and raised his fist to meet the cut blade is a cannon hammer!
Just listen to "Poof! The sound was like a stone striking cowhide. The onlookers saw a black shadow flashing, and Duan Jinglei had already flown out upside down, knocked down a personal guard, and fell on the stone steps. Li Zhenan did not give up, standing beside Li Guangxiong, his right leg swept up! The soldier had not yet recovered from the shock of his own general being knocked away, and saw his legs sweeping like thunder, but he held his knife but did not have time to swing it. "Ahh With a scream, the man had crashed into the crowd.
There was still one person left standing on the spot, shocked and didn't dare to move, Li Zhenan's eyes swept over, but a whistle stick was stabbed next to him, hitting the person's lower abdomen, screaming miserably, unable to stand, rolling down the steps and joining the eight people.
Li Zhenan looked at Cheng Mu who was holding the whistle stick appreciatively, raised his hand and patted Mu'er's shoulder, took the whistle stick, and hung the military flag in his hand on the whistle stick. The fight above his head did not affect the old man Li Guangxiong at all. I saw him carefully brush off the dust that had just been stained on the wooden box and gently opened the box.
Chai Zhewei saw that Duan Jinglei was knocked down in one shot, although he secretly scolded him in his heart for being troublesome, but it was not good to hide and not come forward. Walking out of the mansion with his head held high, looking around the audience, the temperament and demeanor of the prince of the mansion swayed out. After everyone in the audience looked at him, he bowed his hand indifferently and saluted all the guests. After everyone returned the salute, they waved their hands and asked the steward to help Duan Jinglei up.
Seeing that Duan Jinglei couldn't stand up alone with a cough, he was also shocked by the power of the big man's punch. There was no discoloration on his face, and he looked at the four people under the steps with a warm spring breeze, and instantly saw that the kneeling old man was the leader of this group, and then politely bowed his hand: "Old man......"
Chai Zhewei couldn't go on.
Hearing only a crisp sound, Li Zhenan held the tail of the stick in one hand, raised it above his head, and waved his arm. A big flag greets the autumn sun, waving with the wind!
"Scarlet Tyrant Flag!"
"Dominate the flag!"
"It's the banner of tyrants!"
"Dominate the Flag ......"
I saw Li Guangxiong kneeling under the banner, his face was solemn, the wooden box was opened, and he held up the imperial sword of Princess Pingyang with both hands, raised it above his head, and bowed down.
"The body is dead, the god is the spirit, and the soul is the ghost! The soul of the hero is not far away, and he will return with me! ”
