(Second update.) ）

Li Congjing was quite surprised, and walked towards this woman who was at the forefront of the entire empire, but was just an ordinary rich and noble woman, "Sister, why are you here?" ”

Li Yongning glanced at the handsome Langjun in front of him, "Why can't I be here?" ”

Hearing this, Li Congjing was a little surprised, although Shi Jingjing said that he was stationed in Shaanzhou, there was no need to ask, Li Yongning would not follow, and the two would break up, but Li Congjing's meaning was to ask her how she would be in the White Horse Temple, but compared to the truth, this is also a useless sentence.

Seeing that Li Congjing was choked and speechless, Li Yongning couldn't bear it, but he felt funny, and laughed out loud, the beautiful Danfeng eyes flew on Li Congjing's face, and as soon as the words came out, he somehow brought a tone of resentment and blame, "I've been back to Luoyang for so long, and I didn't say to go to see my sister, do you still have my sister in your heart?" ”

"Sister, this is a wronged word, when I entered the palace two days ago to greet my mother, I also saw it" Li Congjing felt very wronged, as soon as the words came out, he came into contact with Li Yongning's eyes that seemed to have a sea of mourning, and he inexplicably felt that it was the other party who was wronged, and immediately changed the words he wanted to say, "Recently, I have been busy with official business, the marshal's mansion is square, and I am busy with the reorganization of the forbidden army, sister, I know that I am wrong, I will go to see you tomorrow!" ”

Li Yongning turned his head and said softly: "Who wants to fight with you about right or wrong?"

A thousand words, difficult to speak, and not being able to express one's meaning really makes people hate themselves.

Li Congjing scratched his head and walked slowly along the path of the mountain temple with Li Yongning. The weather at the beginning of May is the time when the mountain breeze is pleasant, and it makes people feel more comfortable. The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom, standing in a wide field of vision, you can see the pear blossoms everywhere in the mountains, looking at Luoyang City in the distance, the neighborhood is vertical and horizontal, although it is prosperous, but it is also like a cage.

"The pear blossoms are pale white and the willows are dark green, and the catkins are full of flowers when they fly. Melancholy is a snow plant in the east column, and life has to see a few clear. Li Yongning read a seven-word poem slowly, gathered the silk hair in his ears, and said to Li Congjing beside him: "Do you remember this poem?" ”

Li Congjing naturally remembered that this was Su Shi's masterpiece that he plagiarized when he was young, but he didn't know when Li Yongning listened to it, and said with a smile: "When it comes to the skills of classic poetry and books, sister, you have been better than me since you were a child." ”

"So what?" Li Yongning glanced at Li Congjing, thinking that it wasn't because you studied hard in addition to practicing martial arts when you were a child, and one of my daughters couldn't go to dance with guns and sticks, except for studying some classic poetry books, what else could I do to talk to you, and then smiled and said: "But I haven't found the source of this poem." ”

Of course you can't find it, Li Congjing thought to himself, and said: "Miss Hit likes poetry and books, in addition to reading and learning characters over the years, what else has my sister done?" ”

Li Yongning's pretty nose tip rose slightly, "Eat fasting and chant Buddha." ”

Li Congjing: ""

There are still many affairs in the house, Li Congjing still has a lot of things to do today, he has the habit of arranging daily work, and he has rarely delayed, so he left Feng Dao, Li Qi and Qi Ji, and there are also reasons why he is in a hurry to go back to deal with official business. Climbing down the stairs, Li Congjing walked in front, always feeling that Li Yongning beside him was walking slowly, he deliberately slowed down again and again, but he still couldn't walk side by side with Li Yongning.

Looking back, Li Congjing said to Li Yongning with a smile: "Some time ago, I saw a lot of people boating on the Luo River. ”

Li Yongning pouted girlishly, "I'm only afraid of the Shuangxi boat, and I can't carry a lot of worries!" ”

Li Congjing was embarrassed for a while, thinking to himself how careless he had been before, how many master's works he had inadvertently recited, and how much did Li Yongning secretly listen to? He even guessed with trepidation that if the poems in Li Yongning's mouth were bound into a book by someone with a heart and circulated to the world, he was afraid that it would become a mystery in the history of poetry

Seeing Li Congjing's solemn expression, Li Yongning thought that he was worried about the other party, covered his mouth and giggled twice, and remedied in a joking tone: "You don't have to worry, I don't have that much worry." ”

She thought that this article would be turned over quietly, but Li Congjing's next move made her heart flutter.

Li Congjing suddenly stopped, grabbed Li Yongning's hand, and said seriously: "Sister, the spring is beautiful, if you don't look at it, it will be gone, why don't I accompany you around today?" After that, he showed a bright smile like a child, "It's easy to wear casual clothes, blend in with the people, presumably the fun is still as good as before, so it's decided, sister, let's go quickly!" ”

Li Congjing's smile seemed to be more dazzling than the sun, and falling into Li Yongning's eyes made her a little dizzy, and the shallow single dimple was so familiar that she almost thought she had fallen into a dream. In those years, when the two of them were still young boys and girls, Li Yongning didn't rarely see this smiling face, but now that he thinks about it, it seems like a world away.

Li Yongning was pulled down the mountain by Li Congjing, the breeze lifted her hair, and the pear blossoms on the side of the road kept receding. The world in front of her was like going back to ten years ago, and a warm smile appeared on her face, and it never dissipated

Li Congjing returned to the Qin Palace, it was already night, the officials on duty had dispersed, walked into the atrium and met Mo Li, seeing Li Congjing's appearance of returning, Mo Li was very surprised, "Your Highness is going out to return?" ”

The situation of "dereliction of duty" is too new for Li Congjing, and taking Mo Li's reaction into his eyes, Li Congjing has an inexplicable feeling in his heart, wondering if he is too diligent in his daily life, so that a little relaxation is regarded as a vision by the staff.

As soon as Li Congjing said that he went to Luoshui for a boating trip, Mo Li nodded his head in approval, "The combination of work and rest is a long-term way, it seems that His Highness has already understood, and there is no need to leave to advise." ”

Li Congjing: ""

Not tired, Li Congjing was ready to deal with the things that he didn't deal with during the day, but Mo Li reminded him of an important matter that was time to solve, "The Guiyi Army has been staying in the mansion for a long time, if Your Highness has time, it is time to meet with him." ”

Li Congjing then remembered that the steward told him the day before yesterday that the grass and trees in the house had suddenly increased a lot of severed limbs and leaves for some reason.

The only one who dared to vent his anger in the Qin Wangfu with grass and trees, and was not discovered by ordinary people, was naturally Jianzi, a guy with a lack of emotional intelligence, and it seemed that he had already behaved a little abnormally.

Thinking about it, Li Congjing also felt quite sorry for him, after all, the two had some friendship, and besides, people ran thousands of miles to Luoyang, but he has always refused to meet his little wishes, which is indeed a little unkind. However, it is too feminine to be angry with plants and trees, and Li Congjing secretly slandered himself.

"Li Congjing!" Just when Li Congjing rarely felt a trace of guilt, a figure fell from the sky, and before the person arrived, the cold light of the long sword had been revealed, and it was not the sword with upside-down eyebrows, but who was it, "War or not, let's give a happy word!" ”

Li Congjing stretched out his hand, Meng Songbai immediately handed over the horizontal knife, he twisted his neck, revealing a few fangs, "Come, little girl!" ”

Jianzi was stunned, first overjoyed, and then furious, gritted his teeth, and wanted to breathe fire, "Who are you talking about?!" ”

"Take the grass and trees in my house to get angry, this kind of thing can't be done by girls, don't talk nonsense, I'll beat you back to your original form today!" Li Congjing was too lazy to talk nonsense, turned his knife and bullied himself.

The sword was so angry that his cheeks bulged like a sac, and he snorted angrily and swung his sword to meet it.

Ding Hei ran out of the corridor, saw the two people fighting in one place, opened his mouth in astonishment, and immediately sighed, "Good knife technique!" ”

Half an hour later, Li Congjing sat down in the room, served a bowl of tea, looked at the two Guiyi officers in front of him, and said lightly: "Cao Yijin sent the two to Luoyang, what is it to investigate?" ”

The two Guiyi officers glanced at each other, and suddenly left their seats and knelt down, bowing and saying sadly: "Please Your Highness save me from the Guiyi Army!" ”

Outside, Kenzi stood in front of a tree of impeccably pruned flowers, his face covered in frost, his cheeks bulging from his breath.

Ding Hei walked to Jianzi's side and said: "Your Highness's martial arts do make me ashamed to call myself a swordsman and a swordsman, but this is not the standard for judging who is stronger and who is weaker between the birth sword and the entry sword, Your Highness is an outlier and cannot be measured by common sense." ”

Jianzi turned his head and glared at Ding Hei fiercely.

Ding Hei touched his head, and the other party didn't appreciate it, which made him a little embarrassed.

At this time, Li Congjing came out of the house and said to Ding Hei: "The sword is injured, and the defeat of Fang Cai is not the fault of the war." ”

Not only Ding Hei was surprised, but Jian Zi was also surprised, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Congjing: "How do you know that I am injured?" ”

Li Congjing smiled noncommittally, "Even if Gu Fang didn't notice it when he fought with you, the two of them also told Gu what happened to you." He motioned to the two officers who had returned to justice.

The two righteous officers bowed deeply to Li Congjing, and went back to the courtyard where they settled with their swords.

Mo Li stood beside Li Congjing, shook his fan and sighed: "The city of heroes in the past, the land of tigers and wolves in the present, the righteous army has merit in the country, but it is in such a situation, which makes people sigh and sigh. ”

It turned out that the two Guiyi officers were sent to Luoyang by Cao Yijin after hearing that Li Siyuan had succeeded to the throne, but now in the land of Helong, the Uighurs were huge, and in addition, the forces of all parties had their own ghosts, and the team of the court had goods, which caused the Uighurs to covet them halfway, so they killed people and seized money. A vicious battle, the envoy team lost both men and money, if it were not for the sword fighting, I am afraid that the two righteous officers would not be able to live.

Lost both people and money, the two righteous officers knew that they were guilty, because they were afraid of being questioned by Cao Yijin afterwards, so they did not dare to disclose their identities again, and heard that Jianzi and Li Congjing had an old relationship, so they accompanied them to the Qin Wangfu with a fluke mentality, wanting to see the situation and make plans again.

The Military Intelligence Department did not know about these things before, and the Military Intelligence Department knew the identities of the two righteous officers, and it was only after the three of them arrived in Luoyang that they attracted the attention of the Military Intelligence Department and secretly learned about them from their conversations.

The two returned officers saw that their identities had been discovered, so they could no longer hide anything, so they had to tell the truth. As for the "Rescue of the Righteous Army", Yunyun also came from the bottom of his heart, and now the Guiyi Army is indeed in a difficult situation under the invasion of the Uighurs and other Yi tribes - this can be seen from the fact that the Guiyi Army previously ruled more than a dozen states, but now it can only control two states.

"The land of Helong, make plans in the future, the court has no time to look west at the moment." Li Congjing summed up a sentence and made a conclusion on this matter.

At present, the Tang Dynasty does not have the conditions to send troops to Helong, and there is no need for this, but the Uighurs and other Yi tribes, who first received the favor of the Tang Dynasty, are now making chaos in the place, which makes people resentful.

This year, the new policy of the imperial court was implemented smoothly and progressed smoothly.

Towards autumn, the empire ushered in a grand event: the autumn test.

Last year, the imperial political situation was turbulent, and there were not many scholars, and now the new policy was first implemented, it was the time when talents were needed.
