After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it stands to reason that the day is not so hot and unbearable, but I don't know what happened these days, the weather is extremely hot, sometimes tomorrow the day is very poisonous, but in a blink of an eye, it suddenly becomes dark, and after a while, it becomes a clear sky, and it seems that there is a heavy rain brewing.

The day was already very poisonous before noon, the scorching sun was shining on the road, even the air on the road was a little swirling, the weeds on the side of the road had already been rolled up, as if they had been roasted by fire, there were few pedestrians on the wide official road, only a team of people and horses in the distance were walking alone.

This team of people and horses has a total of 300 people, all of them are wearing gray clothes and carrying packages, riding high-headed horses, three hundred men are neatly paced, although they are already sweating profusely, but none of them complained, everyone's eyes are very firm, the leader is a brocade robe young man, although the young man is dressed in a literary costume, but he exudes an unconcealable heroic spirit, this person is Li Ce, at this time he is holding a broken folding fan in his hand and constantly fanning the wind.

"! Sure enough, it's a good day to travel, and it's almost oily! Li Ce scolded secretly, threw the broken fan in his hand, and said to Ning Feiyu beside him: "Rest here for a while, let the brothers drink some water." ”

Ning Feiyu turned the horse's head and said loudly in his throat: "The general has an order, rest in place." ”

Li Ce gave the order, and the three hundred men came to life in an instant, and some people directly opened their arms, stripped off their shirts, picked up the kettle and poured it on their heads.

One person came down from the carriage, it was Fan Zhongyan who was the patrol this time, and Li Ce saw him get out of the car, so he hurriedly got off the horse and walked over.

"Master Fan, drink some water." Li Ce handed over a leather bag filled with water.

Fan Zhongyan took a sip and said: "It's not a way to go on like this when the weather is so hot, the carriage is not needed, and I will ride on the road after resting, so that we should be able to rush to the next town after dark." ”

Li Ce glanced at him in surprise and said, "Master Fan can still ride a horse?" ”

Fan Zhongyan stroked his short beard and laughed: "Don't think that I'm just a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken, am I proficient in the art of Soma and still can't ride a horse?" ”

"You're still going to Soma?" Li Ce became interested, and hurriedly asked, and didn't call Fan Zhongyan an adult.

Fan Zhongyan looked around at the surrounding horses, nodded and said: "These horses are all produced in the southwest, southwest horses generally have large heads, high necks, manes, tails, and manes, good body structure, solid hoof, good at climbing mountains and mountains, and can carry heavy objects, but the use of combat horses is a little unsatisfactory." ”

Li Ce looked back at the horses everyone was riding, as if it was really the case, and couldn't help but admire Fan Zhongyan's ability a little more.

After resting, everyone got on the horse and continued to hurry, without the drag of the carriage, everyone rode their horses and galloped, not only much faster, but also galloped quickly, the wind blew on the body, and they didn't feel the heat.

When everyone arrived in town in the evening, there were several thunderstorms of "boom, boom", and the pouring rain finally fell!

Li Ce looked at the pouring rain outside the post station, and said to Fan Zhongyan: "The ability of the adult to ride a horse is really eye-opening for the boy, I didn't expect that the adult and a civil official would have such a ability, I really admire!" ”

Fan Zhongyan also looked at Da Yu and said with a smile: "I met a Soma master when I traveled to the world in the past, and I learned these skills from him. ”

Li Ce suddenly said with a shy face: "Can adults teach me too?" ”

Fan Zhongyan didn't expect this kid to be so direct, he was stunned for a moment and laughed: "What's this, I'll teach you on the road tomorrow!" ”

The pouring rain fell all night, and the rain did not stop until noon on the second day, and after everyone had eaten, they continued on their way. Along the way, Fan Zhongyan continued to explain to Li Ce all kinds of secret techniques of Soma, and Li Ce benefited a lot from listening.

By the third day, the crowd had reached the southern boundary of the Hebei East Road, but the road ahead was blocked by a large crowd.

The soldier who was exploring the road came back and reported: "General, the rain rose sharply a few days ago, and the bridge of the river in front of me was washed away, and it is impossible to cross ahead. ”

Li Ce glanced at the wide river in front of him and frowned: "Is there any other way?" ”

The soldier said: "I inquired just now, and I can only borrow the Zhending Mansion on Hebei West Road." ”

Li Ce was pleasantly surprised: "Leaving from Zhending Mansion?" Wouldn't that be a way back home? ”

Fan Zhongyan also came over at this time, and when he heard this, he said: "Then let's borrow the Zhending Mansion, it just so happens that I have an old friend who is also in the Zhending Mansion, so I will visit him by the way." ”

Li Ce was overjoyed, it was really the same thing that the hero saw, haha......

Entering the boundary of Hebei West Road, Li Ce had a feeling of revisiting his hometown, but last time he was escorted by the officials, this time he returned to his hometown, the scenery is still those scenery, but the mood of the people who look at the scenery is the same as you, Li Ce couldn't help but sigh for a while.

Fan Zhongyan looked at him with emotion and asked, "Li Ce, I remember that you are also from Hebei West Road, right?" ”

Li Ce nodded and said, "The kid is from the Zhending Mansion." ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled and said, "My old friend is also from the Zhending Mansion, I don't know if you have heard of it?" All told, we haven't seen each other for almost a decade. ”

Li Ce said in his heart: I haven't lived in Zhending Mansion for a long time, Fan Zhongyan must know some famous family, if you can't figure it out, it's still a big official, don't worry about it later.

He snorted and said: "In the past, I only read the books of sages, but I ignored the sophistication of people, and I only knew three or five people in Zhending Mansion. ”

Fan Zhongyan was surprised and laughed: "Single-mindedly only reading sage books? You? ”

Li Ce scratched his head and said: "That was before, before, haha......" Saying this, this guy was also a little embarrassed in his heart, and he really thought carefully about what he did, where he talked and behaved, and where he was a little bit influenced by the sage book.

The two chatted all the way, from customs to military policies, the more Fan Zhongyan chatted, the more speculative he became, no wonder this teenager has been in the limelight so strongly recently, only this insight far surpasses his peers a lot, and some have unique opinions, even he himself sighs inferiorly.

At noon on the second day, a team of people had arrived at Zhending Mansion, and everyone temporarily stayed at the post station of Zhending Mansion.

Fan Zhongyan sent someone to the city in advance to report the news, and his old friend had already set up a banquet at home and was waiting for him. Fan Zhongyan proposed to go with Li Ce, Li Ce had the most headache on this occasion, not to mention that his mind was all on Xian'er at this time, how to accompany him to the banquet. Fan Zhongyan was helpless, so he had to bring two entourages to the banquet.

After Fan Zhongyan left, Li Ce also brought two pro-soldiers into the city in disguise, and the rest of the soldiers were handed over to Ning Feiyu for the time being.

Li Ce straddled the green horse, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and there was an unconcealable heroic spirit in his writings, what a handsome young man! He walked slowly on his horse, while constantly looking at the things on both sides of Yong'an Street.

After a few months, Zhending Mansion is still the same, and the world is really the same without anyone...... Li Ce sighed with emotion. He Ruinian didn't know that he was back, and he didn't know how it would feel to see him again? Lao Tzu really wants to see his kind of appearance that doesn't like Lao Tzu, but he can't kill Lao Tzu!

"Hey, this handsome young man is so familiar......" The people on the street whispered.

"yes, it looks like I've seen it somewhere." Someone frowned and thought.

Li Ce smacked his lips when he heard this, and said for them in his heart: The head-cutting platform in the execution ground......

Two pro-soldiers followed behind Li Ce, the two of them were expressionless, and they had been vigilant around, one found that some people were pointing at Li Ce, and a cold look swept over, and the murderous aura in his eyes frightened the people immediately.

Li Ce smiled and turned around and said, "It's okay, they're all ordinary people." ”

The pro-soldier was extremely respectful to Li Ce, and when he heard this, he nodded lightly and put away the murderous aura he exuded.

Li Ce secretly praised, Di Qing is really a good skill, and he can train such an excellent soldier within the time of diagnosis!

After a while, I walked to Yu Xian'er's restaurant-Fenglou. However, Fenglou seems to be being renovated behind closed doors, and craftsmen, carpenters, and masons are busy working in and out.

Oh, I didn't expect Xian'er to be quite good at business, and she actually had the money to carry out big decorations. Li Ce got off the horse, looked at the exterior wall of Fenglou that had been renovated and painted with interest, nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed better than before." ”

He was just about to step into the building, but a small guy stopped him and said, "I'm sorry for the guest officer, the small shop is being renovated and is not open." ”

Li Ce saw that he hadn't seen this little guy before, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you a new guy?" What about Chen Er? ”

The little guy looked at Li Ce and said with a big grin: "What Chen Er, Chen San, I am Zhao Dahu, and I am the shopkeeper here." ”

Li Ce looked him up and down a lot, and laughed: "You are the shopkeeper?" ”

Zhao Dahu saw his disbelief and argued anxiously: "What's the matter? It's not like that. ”

"Not really."

"Go, go, stay where it's cool! Don't get in the way of my work. After Zhao Dahu finished speaking, he ignored him, picked up a piece of wood on the ground and walked towards the store.

What kind of stunned guy is Chen Erzhao...... Li Ce shook his head and smiled.

He followed into the building, looked around, and found that there was no one in the building that he knew, Chef Yang, the Zhou family brothers, and Chen Er, everyone was here, and ...... It's in the store! The black beams and ridges of this store were clearly burned by fire! Something happened to Fenglou!

Li Ce stopped Zhao Dahu with an arrow step, glared and asked, "Let me ask you, who is the current owner of this restaurant?" ”

Zhao Dahu didn't want to deal with him anymore, but when he saw a hint of murder in his angry eyes, he couldn't help but tremble a little and said, "It's me Zhao Dahu." ”

Li Ce chuckled in his heart, and asked a series of questions, "When did you take over?" What happened to Feng Lou? What about the original hostess of this restaurant? ”

Zhao Dahu put down the horizontal wood in his hand, patted the dust on his hand, pointed to the burned and blackened roof beam, and said: "Oh, you have also seen it, there was a fire here, and the hostess wanted to repay the debt, so she gave me the restaurant." ”

"How can it catch fire?!" Li Ce asked loudly.

Zhao Dahu's eyes glared and said, "How do I know, I didn't order it!" ”

"Where is the hostess of this restaurant now?"

"Half a month ago, I took over this mess, hey, don't say it, that little lady was born with a beautiful appearance, I heard that she is still the first beauty in our Zhending Mansion......" Zhao Dahu was saying with envy, and suddenly found Li Ce's murderous gaze, and he was busy not speaking.

Li Ce couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved when he learned from his disorganized information that Yu Xian'er was at least fine.
