Chapter 09: Looking Back and Smiling
The next day, Guan Yi slept until three poles in the morning before getting up, and it felt really good to return home, although the Guan Mansion is now sparsely populated, but after all, this is the place where he lived since he was a child in his previous life, carrying all the laughter and tears before.
After breakfast, Guan Yi asked people to take out half of the gold beads and money rewarded by the heir and hand it to Chen Lie, so that he could reward it to the blood guard as appropriate, and at the same time informed Chen Lie that he was responsible for handling various military affairs before the expedition on his behalf, but he called Ehu to accompany him out shopping, Ehu originally got up early in the morning, stayed in the house and was extremely bored, and wanted to go shopping in the market, but Guan Yi did not go out, he naturally had to stay in the house and did not dare to leave half a step, this time he was in the middle of the heart, and hurriedly ordered eighteen guards to stay in the house, and he walked to the street with Guan Yi.
Chengdu has been operating for generations, continuing for hundreds of years, with a very large scale, directly catching up with cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang. In 265 AD, after Sima Yan usurped Wei and established the Western Jin Dynasty, a generation of writers Zuo Si traveled to Chengdu and wrote the famous "Shu Du Fu", which prepared the magnificence of Chengdu and the glorious momentum of the imperial palace.
The text said: "So Jincheng Shiguo, and the central district, both beautiful and chong, the real name Chengdu." Open the door of 29 and draw the wide painting of the square track. The new palace is in Shuangdeng, and it is planned to inherit the Ming and rise. The extension pavilion of Jieyang City, flying in the clouds. Open the high pavilion to face the mountain, and overlook the river through the window. Inside, the hall of the palace, Wuyi Huwei, Xuanhua's Min, Chongli's Yan, Huaque Shuangmiao, the heavy door opening, the gold shop is cross-reflected, and the jade theme is glorious. The outside is full of tracks, and the inside is open to the outside, and there are thousands of houses than houses. ”
It can be seen from the Fu that although the scale and magnificence of Chengdu are not as good as the ancient capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, they are far superior to the capital Xuchang and the construction of Eastern Wu in the early Wei period.
At this time, the street is already full of pedestrians, most of the shops have opened their doors to do business, extremely prosperous and lively, from the calm and indifferent looks of the pedestrians, it can be seen that the people have recovered from the panic and uneasiness of the Wei army's three-way Kou realm.
Guan Yi and Ehu played all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at noon, so they simply found a nearby wine shop for lunch. As soon as I sat down, I heard a few diners at the adjacent table talking about the Jiangyou victory a few days ago. Guan Yi listened carefully, it was nothing more than reciting Guan Yi's heroism, and when he talked about Ehu and his five hundred blood guards, he also added fuel and vinegar to praise, as if Guan Yi and Ehu and the five hundred blood guards were like heavens.
When Ehu heard others say good things about himself, he was so happy that he opened his big mouth and giggled. Several diners were originally a little frightened and scared when they saw that he looked ugly, but when they saw that he had been sitting upright and did not come up to bother, the young man next to him was calm and extraordinary, and most of the sharp-eyed people guessed that he should be the young man's entourage, so they slowly relaxed their hearts. But where did everyone think that the handsome young man in front of them was Guan Yi, the general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty who they recited everywhere and broke Deng Ai and made the Wei people frightened.
After a while, the wine and food ordered by the two were already on the table, although it was not big fish and meat, but the taste was fresh and refreshing. The two chatted while eating, and the voices were small, and the diners at the adjacent table became more and more unimpressed. When he was almost full of wine and food, he suddenly heard the noise of people on the street, and pedestrians dodged to both sides of the street, and some people kept shouting: "Look and see, Xiao Li Guang is here......"
"Xiao Li Guang?" Guan Yi glanced at Ehu in surprise, Ehu shook his head, obviously he had never heard of this name. When I was suspicious, I saw a team of more than ten horsemen and horses coming from afar on the street, first a young general dressed in military uniform, carrying a big bow and riding a horse slowly, behind more than ten horsemen will follow, and there are many roe deer hanging next to the saddle, obviously just returning from hunting.
When a few diners at the adjacent table saw the young general, someone immediately shouted: "It's really a young hero, there is a successor to the Zhuge Wuhou family!" ”
Guan Yi was surprised when he heard this, stood up and walked to the eaves, it turned out that this handsome young general was Zhuge Shang, the son of Zhuge Zhan, no wonder there was such a momentum in and out. Ordinary people may not be able to notice it, but they are also people who practice martial arts, and they have already keenly captured the strong aura emanating from Zhuge Shang's body across the old Guan Yi, which is the aura that only masters have, and it seems to faintly surpass themselves.
Ehu didn't care about Zhuge Shang and his party at all, but almost at the same time, he also felt Zhuge Shang's compelling aura, and rolled his strange eyes, obviously extremely surprised that Zhuge Shang was so good at a young age.
Guan Yi nodded secretly, although it was the first time he saw Zhuge Shang, but his reputation had been heard a few years ago, when he had not left Chengdu to train in Zitong County, he already knew that this Zhuge Shang was a young hero, skilled in martial arts, and had learned a good archery technique of piercing Yang in a hundred steps. Unexpectedly, in four or five years, Zhuge Shang has grown up and won the reputation of "Little Li Guang", which is really in response to the old saying that heroes are teenagers.
Zhuge Shang's expression was grim, turning a blind eye to the envious and admiring eyes cast on both sides of the street, and he only cared about riding his horse slowly, until he was close to the wine shop where Guan Yi was, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at Guan Yi, with a somewhat surprised expression.
Guan Yi did not evade, he smiled faintly with his hands behind his back, his eyes were also staring at him, but he sighed secretly in his heart, if he hadn't come to this era by mistake, and defeated Deng Ai's sneak attack in Jiangyoushu, Zhuge Shang had already died on the battlefield with his father Zhuge Zhan, Huang Chong, Zhang Zun and Li Qiu and others at this time, and the young hero had become a handful of loess.
Zhuge Shang naturally didn't know what Guan Yi was thinking, in his eyes, there were thousands of pedestrians on this road, but this young man who was not much older than himself and the fierce and strong man beside him couldn't help but look sideways, although it was only a short glimpse, but this young man had a kind of everyone's temperament, which was different from his domineering aura, even if he stood quietly in the crowd under the eaves of the wine shop, it was like standing out from the crowd and made people dare not have any underestimation.
When Zhuge Shang had gone far, Guan Yi returned to the table. But he hid something in his heart, and he had lost the interest of continuing to shop, so he simply let the Huhui account go home. Ehu hadn't had enough fun yet, but seeing that Guan Yi was silent along the way, he had to follow him obediently, not daring to disturb him.
Just crossed two streets, but only saw a crowd of people in front of him, the inner three layers and the outer three floors almost surrounded a large road, Guan Yi felt strange, walked over with Ehu, and asked a man who looked like a vendor who was jumping his hands and feet and looking inside: "This big brother, what happened here?" ”
"See for yourself!" The vendor turned his head and glanced at Guan Yi, seeing that he was young and dressed very ordinary, he didn't care, and replied to Guan Yi angrily, as if he blamed Guan Yi for disturbing his excitement. But he didn't notice that the Hu next to Guan Yi saw that he was snobbish and rude, and he was immediately furious, raised his big fist, and wanted to beat him.
Guan Yi hurriedly shook his head, Chengdu is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the laws and regulations are strict, Ehu is honest by nature, seeing that he has been wronged, the first thing he thinks of is to fight for himself, but Guan Yi is worried that he will not start lightly, if he makes a good deal again, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to him.
Besides, he is in a public office, and he can't afford to deal with a market vendor. Ehu only obeyed Guan Yi's name, and did not dare to disobey his will, so he snorted angrily at the man's back and slowly lowered his fist.
Guan Yi smiled, and under curiosity, he was about to squeeze through the crowd to take a look, when he suddenly heard a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and dodged to both sides, and then saw a fat figure in the crowd flying out, and "ouch" fell at Guan Yi's feet.
After the crowd dispersed, they just made way for Guan Yi and Ehu, so that Guan Yi changed from an outsider to a spectator in the circle in the blink of an eye.
The fat man who fell fell to the ground, just struggling to get up, only to see a young man running over, and suddenly stepped on the fat man's belly, the fat man "ouch", and the fat body that just wanted to sit up was kicked to the ground again, and his face and body were covered with mud. When the young man saw his embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Dog, you dare to flirt with a woman from a good family in broad daylight, I have to let you recognize the master's fist today!" ”
Guan Yi heard the young man's voice crisp, as if he had landed on the ground, and saw that he was dressed in a white robe, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were like smearing Zhu, but his body was extremely slender, and his heart couldn't help but move.
At this moment, more than a dozen soap-clothed men rushed in from outside the crowd, all dressed like domestic slaves, and helped the fat man up with all hands and feet, and he slapped the ashes and beat his back. Who knew that the fat man had lost face in front of his subordinates, and he didn't appreciate it in anger, so he pushed everyone away, pointed at the young man in white and scolded loudly: "Stinky boy, who are you, dare to meddle in things? Do you know who he is? ”
The young man in white rolled his eyes and said with a teasing smile: "Do you deserve to know the name of the young master?" As for who you are, hey, not a person anyway! ”
"You ......" The fat man was robbed of white by him, and in the laughter of the onlookers, a fat face full of fat suddenly turned into the color of pig liver.
The young man in white didn't wait for the fat man to refute, pulled a girl from the crowd in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the imperial city, what crime should you be guilty of molesting a woman from a good family on the street?" After speaking, he said softly to the girl: "Girl, don't be afraid, I'll call the shots for you!" ”
"I, I'm ......" Guan Yi saw that the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her delicate face was panicked because of fear and shame, and he looked at the young man in white, and then at the fat man, but nervously rubbed the corners of his clothes and couldn't speak.
The fat man stared at the young man in white, and said gloomily: "Boy, I am the housekeeper of the Northland Palace, and those who know each other quickly kowtow and confess their guilt, the master is not like you, otherwise it will annoy the lord, and you will be taught that life is better than death!" ”
"Northland Palace?" The young man in white frowned, as if he was quite unexpected.
Guan Yi was also taken aback, he didn't expect this fat man to be the housekeeper in the Northland Palace, no wonder he dared to openly flirt with a woman from a good family in the middle of the city. But after thinking about it, I felt incredible, Liu Chen, the king of the northern land, was the fifth son of Liu Chan, the heir, and was known as the name of benevolence and righteousness in Shuzhong, why were the servants in the house so domineering?
