Volume 10 The Controversy of Buddhism and Taoism Chapter 7 Second Brother, Welcome Back!
"You kid, you really owe ...... beating" Outside Chang'an City, on the edge of the Baqiao, a big ship docked on the dock, surrounded by countless soldiers in armor, these are the three brothers of Cheng Chumo and the two guys of the Wei Chi family, a few of them quietly borrowed their father's token to mobilize out, there has been no major war in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, so Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, who were originally stationed in the left and right military guards, have gradually had time to return to Beijing to reunite with their families, and this time they took the opportunity of spring ploughing to return to Beijing to report on their work.
The Tang Dynasty was founded on agriculture, so every spring, Li Er and Empress Changsun had to personally cultivate an acre of land, of course, they used just ordinary farm tools, and they didn't want to use a gold hoe as the people thought. And the choice of the plough is the most extravagant in the entire Tang Dynasty, today's saint personally supports the plow, and the queen sows the seeds, so the person who pulls the plough is naturally the prince Li Chengqian, the prince of the prince, and several princes in the capital, Li Tai, the king of Wei, Li You, the king of Yan, and Li Su, the king of Shu, can be described as extremely luxurious. At the beginning of spring this year, they will be plowing a piece of land on the outskirts of Chang'an. Now with the return of Li Kuan, the king of Chu, there is one more person pulling the plow. For such a grand event, the military generals of Wenchen naturally want to gather, so Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, who are the two major optimus primes in the Tang Army, naturally want to return to Beijing. So their personal guards were naturally brought back, these people all recognized the cards but did not recognize people, with the waist cards of Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong, Cheng Chumo and others easily transferred them out. Of course, this is also because they are the sons of the two great generals, otherwise it may not work if others hold the waist card.
But now is not the time to elaborate on these things, now is the criticism meeting, and the person who is criticized is naturally Cheng Chubi, who cheated before. Not only did they use measures between brothers, but they almost caused a tragedy. So Cheng is silent, Cheng is bright. After Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing chased after them from behind, they first saluted Li Kuan with their fists, and then rushed directly to Cheng Chubi, who had just climbed off the horse. From discussing the people as the foundation of the existence of the Tang Dynasty, as well as how to treat the elder brother as a younger brother, all of them turned into long-tongued women at this moment, and none of the things that anyone said were repeated. Seeing that Li Kuan was dumbfounded, who dared to imagine that a guy with arms thicker than ordinary people's thighs could actually say so much nonsense with his mouth.
"Okay, are you here to teach Cheng Chubi or are you here to greet this king?" Li Kuan shouted loudly and pulled back the already crooked boundless floor.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, congratulations on your victorious return!" The five black bears lined up like this, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Kuan and congratulated, because the situation was urgent, so there was no full salute. His own father is a general in the army. Cheng Chumo and the others have already been fighting on the battlefield many times, so the rules in the army are also clear and tight. Under their leadership, the personal soldiers of the two generals behind them also turned over and dismounted, and the sound of the grinding of the nail leaves was so clear and audible. The armor worn by these people is definitely not an ordinary standard armor, because this kind of delicate armor leaf is not the armor produced by the imperial court craftsmen. Therefore, Li Kuan is sure that this group of soldiers is the elite of the army and the division of a hundred battles.
"Alright...... You boys. Why did he pull out his father's personal guards in order to save face? Li Kuan could see at a glance that these soldiers were divided into two distinct teams. Moreover, there are slight differences in the style of armor between them, and the position of the shoulder armor of the two sides is obviously different. Standing behind Cheng Chumo and the three of them were lion heads, angry eyes, and lion fangs shining in the cold light. On the other side is a dark black tiger, with a big king-shaped pattern, which is so conspicuous.
"Isn't this the one who came to support His Highness! Look at who are the people here except for our brothers? One by one, they sat on the flower boat, and they were blocked by a curtain of some kind of Rausch, all of them were a group of girls, and even my fierce sister actually sat obediently in the small cabin, I was really not afraid of suffocation! Cheng Chumo is a straight intestine of what to say, a naturally loud voice, and in the 21st century, he is a professional master of ceremonies, ensuring that he does not use any microphone amplifier, shouting at one end of the village, and hearing it clearly at the other end.
"It's not my brother's fault to say bad things behind my back!" As soon as Cheng Chumo's words fell, a crisp voice with a cold voice sounded behind him. Li Kuan turned around, only to see a woman in leather armor, walked out of a small boat, behind her was embroidered with a cloak embroidered with a peacock auspicious cloud pattern, this woman was tall, a long leather whip around the waist, her hair was pulled into a bun, and then a wooden hairpin was pinned at will. There is a different kind of heroism.
"This is ......" Li Kuan really hadn't seen this girl, because although he also went to bite the Jin Mansion in Chang'an City at the beginning, Cheng Duoduo at that time was raised in the deep boudoir and no one knew him. At that time, although the back house of the Cheng Mansion had been made into a mess, but after all, they could still be suppressed by their mother, but as they grew older, this aunt became more and more restless and finally quietly ran out of the house last year and went to Princess Pingyang's mansion, but something happened. And then because of her family history, she is now an important figure in the women's army, and she is deeply respected by Li Xiuning. This time, because Li Kuan returned to Beijing, because of some reasons, it was inconvenient to come to greet him with great fanfare. Therefore, each family decided to assign a female dependant of the family to come here, because His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now eighteen years old but has not yet married. It is a golden turtle that all the nobles in Chang'an City have coveted for a long time, and if the daughter of any family catches it, it is really ...... So this time it is nominally to welcome, but in fact, it also contains a taste of the draft, choosing a princess for His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
Of course, it is impossible to hide such a thing from Li Er, so with Li Er's acquiescence, countless young ladies who were originally locked up in the embroidery building in the backyard of their homes were all released, and they are now quietly observing in various places on the riverbank. But he didn't know, so although he felt strange that there were painting boats everywhere, he didn't make a sound.
The woman standing in front of him now is the tallest woman he has ever seen in this era, and her height is almost the same as him, and this kind of figure is really a heterogeneous in this era. And there was a frost on the pretty face that was not powdered, which really made Li Kuan a little loveless, this was not his dish, so he usually looked at the big drama staged in front of him, only to see Cheng Chumo's face quietly changing, and then turned around and ran, but the woman was pulled around her waist, a long whip as long as two feet long, and it was pulled out directly from her waist, and then a loud whip, and the sound of whirring was terrifying. Cheng Chumo dodged directly, thinking about jumping up and turning over on the horse, this is to run away.
"What, my big brother, are you going to run away? It's really chilling to arrange your own girls behind your back! Cheng Duoduo flicked his long whip and splashed dust on the ground. Then he turned to Li Kuan and knelt down on one knee: "Cheng Duoduo, the deputy general of the Women's Army, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”
"It turned out to be the sister of the Cheng family, hurry up, this king and your brother are good brothers, you will be this king's sister in the future, if anyone dares to bully you, don't be afraid, just beat them!" Li Kuan said with added fuel to the fire, he could see that this little girl was not a good stubble, Cheng Chumo was hiding now, but he couldn't escape after settling accounts in the later autumn.
Li Kuan and a group of brothers were reminiscing on the shore, but Tianxiang and Red Sleeves were packing up their things on the big boat, and then they were going to pack and take them away and take them back to the palace to use. So the ship was so busy that I didn't have time to pay attention to things on the shore. And those who had been watching from various places, all of them had now seen the same, and began to disperse gradually. For example, not far from Li Kuan, the exquisite painting boat did not have the slightest totem to indicate its identity, and at this time, a woman in white also waved her hand: "Let's go...... This guy has nothing to see, he is good at things, but he is just a heart...... Take a look again! She remembered in her mind the handsome man who had jumped off the boat, and she couldn't help but feel a little red on her cheeks.
"Let's go...... Homecoming! Li Kuan saw that the carriages were set, and then began to head towards Chang'an City, and immediately knew that the ship was ready, so he no longer lingered, and made an appointment with Cheng Chumo and others to gather together tomorrow, and began to walk to Chang'an City, riding a horse, and slowly walking in front of a large group of carriages. Leaving Cheng Chumo and the others to look at each other, this prince was still so maverick, regardless of the courtesy, he left directly by himself.
After settling some things that should be settled in the martyrs' shrine outside Chang'an City, Li Kuan finally returned to Chang'an City from the Tonghua Gate in the east of the city, passed through Xingning, Daning, and Laiting three square markets, and came to Yongchangfang. This is Li Kuan's old nest in Chang'an City, the splendid palace is still the same as before, and it is obvious that someone has been taking care of it. At the moment when the door was opened, a soft voice sounded: "Second brother, welcome back!" (To be continued......)
