Chapter 40: The Tavern Outside the Prison of the Prince

No matter how slow the horse's hooves are, they are still moving forward, and the long road always has an end, looking at the towering city wall on the distant horizon, Chai Shao knows that Chang'an has arrived.

Even if he is far away, even if he has not come back for six years, but now Chai Shao has found that the city is so clear in his heart, the majestic city wall, towering on the periphery of Chang'an City, is more than five zhang high, all made of pieces of bluestone, and even the small handwriting carved by the saber on his waist in front of the city gate when he was young is still vivid. This qiē suddenly happened yesterday. But now he has a gray beard, and his sideburns are stained with frost. The original years are gone, and now it's ridiculous to think about it all these years and be angry with your wife.

The fear along the way, Chai Shao thought a lot, the things that he had not dared to face over the years in this short journey, he thought about it thoroughly, because of Li Xiuning's strength, he felt inferior in his heart, so he lived far away at the border, this garrison is ten years, these ten years are his own escape, afraid of being looked down upon, saying that he is not as good as his wife at home. But during this time, under the threat of sores that could erupt at any time, he actually figured it out incredibly, this qiē was just embarrassing himself, even if others would talk about it behind his back, but so what? Will I lose a piece of meat?

Chai Shao's idea of being a bachelor at this time really didn't know how to come up, or it was oppressed because of the things he had been worried about along the way. In short, the moment he saw Chang'an City, Chai Shao had a feeling of tears in his eyes, and the mood of suffering from gains and losses disappeared at this moment. At this time, it was as if he was going back to his home in Chang'an City, where he had lived since his childhood. It is now called the 'Mansion of the Kingdom of China'. I went there to see my wife and children, and the locust flowers blooming in the garden that I could only see in my dreams.

That's right. A locust tree was actually planted in the yard of Chai Shao's house, and in the courtyard of the courtyard, this locust tree can be described as luxuriant, like a big green umbrella supporting in the large courtyard of the Duke of Chenguo. Li Kuan also once picked locust flowers on this locust tree, and then weaved them into garlands for his two sisters to bring. Of course, what Li Kuan wants to return to most now is his small courtyard in Chang'an City, even if it doesn't match his identity there.

With the city gate in sight, one by one the tall soldiers stood at the head of the city, their spears on the ground, the tips of their spears pointing to the sky. He was also wearing black iron armor. The armor leaves reflect the sunlight one by one, and it looks bright, no wonder it is called Mingguang armor. Countless people came in and out of the city gate, and Li Kuan and them rode to the outside of the city gate, and then dismounted.

This time, although Li Kuan also went to Tuyuhun on Li Er's secret order, after all, there was not the slightest news to inform the world that the Tang Dynasty had sent troops, and the news that came to the army later was transmitted secretly, so this time Li Kuan did not have the slightest welcome ceremony when they returned. Even if they entered this Chang'an City, they also cut off the blades on their bodies, and they only walked in after paying the entrance fee to the city, and they were wearing leather armor. He was replaced as early as he came down from the plateau, and in addition to the saber on his waist, Li Kuan's rest of his weapons. The longbow and his iron spear had been brought back to the Eastern Suburbs Horse Farm, and now he was riding a horse. Wearing a horizontal sword, a ranger who wants to enter Chang'an. And Chai Shao beside him is his housekeeper and other subordinates, and this year, the ranger can already afford to hire a housekeeper! So the soldiers defending the city charged him an extra two pennies to enter the city, under the pretext that both of them had brought horses.

The streets of Chang'an City are still so horizontal and vertical, as if they were drawn with a ruler. On the spacious streets, people came and went, and when they saw two people leading horses and carrying knives, most of them dodged. Because such people are not ordinary people, they are either rangers who travel the world and do chivalry in their hearts, or they are family members who come out with knives and pretend to be forced, these two types of people are not ordinary people can afford to provoke, but these two kinds of people are unanimously despised by everyone.

Because the rangers don't produce, they are all thinking about the chivalry in their hearts, but they don't know that they are actually street gangsters, and those family members are not things, they are raised by model dogs, but they can't even compare to dogs. They will only harm the people, and nothing else. Therefore, the people can hide from these two kinds of people, and if they can't hide, they have no choice but to stay away.

"Take a walk and take a look! The white-flour buns here only cost a penny! ”

"Come and see, everyone, this is a peerless treasure from the Western Regions! Such a large multicolored glass can be described as priceless! Walking through this village, there is no such shop! ”

The shouting on the street is endless, and everyone is busy with their lives. It's just that in this era of the peasant standard, the status of the merchant is really low and pitiful, not far from those slaves who signed the deed of sale, and even as a nobleman, if he kills a merchant, as long as he pays a fine of several dollars, he can be exempted from punishment. Therefore, although these merchants shouted fiercely, none of them dared to force their way to the street to solicit customers, and they all shouted behind their stalls, and the louder the shouting, the more people came to buy their goods.

Li Kuan wanted to part ways with Chai Shao, but he was pulled, because Chai Shao hadn't been home for a long time, so he wanted to buy some gifts for his wife and son to go back, but he had been at the border all these years and had never come back, and he was not very familiar with the capital now, because Chang'an City has changed very much in recent years, and most of the original snack bars or small vendors are no longer in place, so it is really not easy to buy what you like without the guidance of acquaintances. This is not Li Kuan was arrested Zhuangding, although this kid has not been in Chang'an City for more than half a year, but he is much better than Chai Shao himself. In addition, although he is not in Chang'an City, none of his brothers are in it, so what news will definitely not be able to hide from them.

"Okay, I'll contact the three brothers of the Cheng family and let them lead the way together!" Li Kuan thought about it and agreed with Chai Shao's construction, after all, this time he came back with him, if he just left him and ran away, it would be a bit unauthentic.

"The three brothers of the Cheng family? Do they succeed? Chai Shao heard Li Kuan mention of these people, suddenly his head was big, because the three Cheng brothers really don't know what to say, even if they are far away at the border, for these three Cheng brothers who can be called bastards, Chai Lingwu has been okay in recent years, under the discipline of Li Xiuning, although mixed in a group of women in the women's army, there is not much bad deeds, but these three guys are not so stopping, together with the two silly boys of Wei Chigong's family, they have become several scourges of Chang'an City, which can be described as notorious. Not to mention anything else, few of the Wenchen disciples in Chang'an City could escape their fists and kicks.

Of course, this is also caused by the disagreement between Wenchen and the military generals, most of the children of the Wenchen family are forced by their parents to study poetry and books, so they are all contemptuous and muscular bastards. Do you think they are vulgar puppets, and don't you see that their father often lashes out at home and scolds those famous generals who only know how to reason with their fists? How can such a person govern Datang well? So they are barbarians, they are all unbearable waste materials, except for muscular bumps, and fighting with the enemy with knives and guns, what else can they do? Now that Datang is in the midst of rapid development, these people are of no use at all.

It is precisely because these so-called scholars look down on the children of military generals that they have to face physical threats at any time. Those guys who are full of muscular bumps, they can't get cheap on their mouths and use their fists to get back the lost face, among them, the three Cheng brothers who are not good at words and the big fool and the second fool of the Yu Chi family love to do it, if it weren't for Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Gong are the kind of hob meat with inappropriate faces, maybe they would have beaten these troublesome boys to death.

In the past few years, these two veterans don't know how many people have been impeached, saying that they have no way to teach their children, saying that they are arrogant, but they have never seen Li Er punish these two people, what should they do, and Wenchen has been persisting in complaining, which has become a home-cooked dish in the court.

Li Kuan knows where to find the three brothers of the Cheng family, these three guys are the least fond of reading or anything like that, but although Cheng Biting Jin doesn't know a few words, he still wants a few of his own bastards to go to Guozijian to live a gangster life, after all, this is what Li Er explained, how can he obey the order! So now these three guys must be drinking in the tavern outside the country! Although Li Kuan hasn't been in Chang'an City much in the past two years, these three guys don't know the owner of the nest, so they will definitely be able to find it.

Sure enough, in a tavern outside Guozijian, three tower-like men were sitting at a table drinking a jar of wine and a dream of wine immortal residence on a plate of side dishes! This is a kind of sorghum wine, the degree is very high, but the mouth is very soft, unconsciously people drink too much, and then fall asleep, so it is called sorghum dream.

"Come and this bowl!" A man with black eyes, a towering nose and a beard raised the sea bowl in his hand, and then shouted and drank it.

"Come and drink this bowl!" The other man with black eyes, a high nose and a beard raised the sea bowl in his hand, and then shouted and drank it.

"Let's finish this bowl!" There was also a man with black ringed eyes, a high nose bridge, and a bearded face, raised the sea bowl in his hand, and then shouted the same and raised his head and drank.

"Damn, I haven't seen you for two years, how did these three scourges grow like this? It's really Cheng Biting Gold's species, uncle, look how similar these three goods are! A playful voice came.

"That turtle grandson, tired of life?" The three black-faced men slapped the table at the same time, and then stood up in a hurry, which was the difference between the three, although the three looked the same, but after standing up, they were shorter than the other, the tallest one sitting at the top, and the shortest one with his back to the gate.
