Chapter 009: There are robbers at the feet of the Son of Heaven
Lu Hu is Li Mi's domestic slave, and since he was seven or eight years old, he has followed Li Mi to serve tea and pour water. Li Mi is gentle by nature, and Lu Hu is the master and servant, in fact, he is like a brother, and he loves Lu Hu very much, not only teaching him to read and write, but also cultivating his etiquette of receiving people and things. Lu Hu traveled with Li Mi, in addition to wearing the green clothes of a slave, he ate the same as Li Mi, and also developed his celebrity demeanor of traveling around the mountains and rivers, drinking tea and chatting. With his delicate appearance, if he changes into a scholar's spring shirt, no one can see that he is a little slave.
Such a little arrogant scholar, of course, has no problem waiting for Li Mi, the real master, and asking him to wait for Li Zaixing, a rough man, will inevitably make him unacceptable. What's more, Li Zaixing is so poor that in addition to the value of the horse under his crotch, he doesn't have a single money in his body, and he doesn't count eating and drinking for nothing, but he still has to call people. What made Lu Hu most depressed was that Li Yu didn't know what evil he had fallen into, so he was willing to do it willingly, as if he was afraid that Li Zaixing would not be willing.
However, after all, Lu Hu came out of Li Mi**, even if he had an idea in his heart, he would not show it on his face. Along the way, he didn't have any disrespect for Li Zaixing, and all his dissatisfaction was hidden deep in his heart. Now that Chang'an City is in sight, this part of the journey is about to end, and Lu Hu is also relieved.
He now has only one wish: he hopes that Li Mi will not invite Li Zaixing home again. Li Zaixing came to Chang'an for the first time, and he was not familiar with the place, if Li Mi opened his mouth to invite, it is estimated that this scoundrel would definitely be unable to ask for it, and he agreed. In that way, there would be no end to his suffering.
In Lu Hu's worry, Li Mi grabbed the donkey and exhaled softly: "Brother Xian, Chang'an City has arrived, where are you going?" If there's nothing to do, you might as well go home with me for two days. ”
As soon as he heard this, Lu Hu's heart suddenly lifted. He held his breath and peeked at Li Zaixing.
Li Zaixing felt Lu Hu's voyeurism, he glanced back at Lu Hu, and smiled: "No, I still have some things to do, so I won't go to your mansion to disturb." ”
Lu Hu let out a long breath, and before he could finish exhaling this breath, Li Zaixing said again: "However, I am not familiar with Chang'an, can you let Lu Hu accompany me for a while?" ”
Lu Hu almost didn't come up in one breath, and he was so suffocated that Venus appeared in front of him. He looked at Li Zaixing hatefully, but met Li Zaixing's narrow eyes, and hurriedly forcibly turned the anger on his face into a smile, so as not to lose his temper and embarrass Li Mi.
Regarding Li Zaixing's proposal, Li Mi deeply agreed. "I also have this intention, Ah Hu is careful and familiar with Chang'an, let him accompany you, I will feel much more at ease. Ah Hu, from today on, you will follow Li Lang, wait carefully, and don't be careless. ”
"Yes, my lord." Lu Hu's heart sank, and although he was unwilling, he had to hurriedly agree.
"Let's go, let's go into town." Li Mi glanced at Lu Hu and gently knocked the donkey's buttocks. Lu Hu turned over and got off the donkey, walked in front of Li Zaixing, and stretched out his hand. Li Zaixing was inexplicable: "What are you doing?" ”
Lu Hu arched his hand and said, "Please give me the reins of the horse, and I will lead the horse for the lord." ”
Li Zaixing couldn't help laughing: "I can ride myself, I don't need you to ...... it."
Li Mi interrupted Li Zaixing: "Brother Xian, the city is no more decent than the wild. If there is no one to lead the horse, it will be ridiculed. ”
After listening to Li Yu's explanation, Li Zaixing couldn't help but roll his eyes. Chang'an City is really the imperial capital, the cheer is big, not only riding a donkey is laughed at, riding a horse without a horse is also laughed at, it is not possible to ride a horse by yourself, and someone has to lead the horse. This is the same as the big bosses of later generations who don't drive themselves and must find a driver in uniform, which is purely a pose. In this way, he didn't ask for Lu Hu, but he was afraid that Li Mi would also give Lu Hu to him.
Although Li Zaixing was not used to being the master, he could only follow the customs of the villagers and handed over the reins to Lu Hu.
Li Mi walked side by side with him, and then said: "Walking in the city, there are many rules, you are new to the city, you are not very familiar with it, I am afraid that if you can move, you will be blamed." With Lu Hu by his side to remind you, I can rest assured. ”
"Thank you, Saburo." Li Zaixing arched his hand sincerely. He really didn't think about this, and it was only at this time that he realized that Chang'an City was not only the capital like Beijing in later generations, but also the place where countless dignitaries and nobles lived. Although the Tang Dynasty was open, after all, it was a feudal society with all kinds of evils, and it was very particular about respecting the noble and the lowly, but it was not as simple as the leader traveling under martial law, and I am afraid there were more rules to follow. He didn't know anything about these rules, and God knows when he broke the law. It would be a good arrangement for a servant like Lu Hu, who is familiar with Chang'an City, to take care of him.
As Li Zaixing walked, he asked Li Mi for some common rules. Chang'an City looks like it is right in front of them, but after walking for a long time, they are still some distance away from the city gate, but they are getting bigger and bigger, more and more majestic, like a lion lying in the sky, although it is quiet, it makes people feel awe.
This is the most majestic city in the world, and this is the symbol of the Tang Dynasty.
Maybe he was used to seeing a metropolis full of high-rise buildings in his previous life, or maybe he was a little unhappy with the rules that Li Mi said, looking at Chang'an City that was getting bigger and bigger on the horizon, Li Zaixing didn't have the excitement he expected. What about Xiongcheng, what about the biggest in the world, what does it have to do with me, an ordinary person? I'm here to find the mastermind behind the scenes, find this person, figure out who I am, and then go away, whatever his rules are, it has nothing to do with me.
Li Zaixing was thinking about it when suddenly a chill arose on the back of his neck. He subconsciously picked up the big pole hanging on the saddle bridge and waved it out.
There was a soft "pop", and a feathered arrow was knocked to the ground by the clubhead.
Li Zaixing turned his head to look, only to find that the situation was not right, there were several horsemen chasing after him, one of the young men was holding a carved bow, his face was stunned, thinking that he was surprised that Li Zaixing could shoot down the arrow he shot with a single stroke.
The horseshoe was special, and the horses that had just galloped past Li Zaixing also turned their heads and slowly surrounded them. Seeing that the situation was not right, the pedestrians on the side of the road immediately dodged, watching Li Zaixing and others surrounded by more than ten horsemen.
Li Zaixing glanced at Li Mi and grinned: "Why, in broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there will be people blocking the road to rob and kill for money?" ”
Li Mi frowned, grabbed the reins, glanced around, got off the donkey's back, and walked towards the young man with the bow.
"Wei San, what do you want to do?"
The young man with the bow grinned and put away the carved bow: "It turned out to be Immortal Li, who just came back?" ”
Li Mi nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Zaixing: "This is my friend, a master of Nanyue Panruo Temple, who is extraordinary, don't embarrass him." ”
"Really?" The young man with the bow glanced at Li Zaixing, pinched his waist with one hand, held the reins with the other, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and walked over to Li Zaixing. He looked at the big pole in Li Zaixing's hand, and couldn't help but laugh, quite disdainful: "This is your weapon?" ”
Li Zaixing looked around at the young man and his servants in fresh clothes and angry horses, and he had a bottom in his heart, this is probably the second generation of officials and the third generation of officials in Chang'an City. As long as you can take the horse, it doesn't matter if you kill it or not. The arrow of the young man just now went straight to the back of his heart, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, he was afraid that he would have been dead at this moment.
This made Li Zaixing very unhappy.
He lowered his head, looked at the big pole in his hand, slowly straightened his waist, held the reins in his left hand, and held the pole in his right hand, the head of the pole trembled and pointed straight at the young man's heart. He raised his eyebrows, did not answer the young man's words, and asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency is blocking the way, do you want to rob, or do you want to compete?" ”
The young man raised his eyebrows: "What about robbery, what about skills?" To tell you the truth, the master is not interested in you, but he has some doubts about your horse. Looking at your cloth and short shirt, you must not be a rich and noble family, but you ride such a good horse, it is really incomprehensible. Honestly, where did it come from? ”
Li Zaixing smiled: "How did my horse come about, what does it have to do with you?" ”
The young man lowered his face and shouted angrily: "Looking at your hateful face, you know that you are definitely not a good person." Wearing evil clothes, riding a good horse, either stealing or robbing, since you have been seen by the master, how can you be allowed to get away? Hugh must say more, and immediately bring it from the truth, so that it will not suffer from the flesh and skin. ”
Li Zaixing crooked the corners of his mouth, his heart was really not bad, it was obvious that he wanted to grab the horse, but he beat him upside down. Stolen, just by your word?
"Your Excellency is a disciple of the second senior brother, right?"
The young man was stunned: "Second senior brother? Who is the second senior brother? The master doesn't know any second senior brother. Thief, don't want to be close to the master, this matter, the master is in charge today, even if Jing Zhaoyin comes, he can't save you. ”
Li Zaixing smiled slightly: "Since you are not a disciple of the second senior brother, why are you so cross-minded?" Don't you just want to take this horse, if you have the ability, come and get it. ”
The young man looked at Li Zaixing, a little puzzled. Li Mi was in a hurry, he heard the murderous aura of Li Zaixing's words, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Virtuous brother, don't be rude, this is Wei Sanlang of the Wei family in the south of the city." ”
Li Zaixing's eyebrows jumped, but he ignored Li Mi. The Wei family in the south of the city, he heard Li Mi say, is a very powerful family. There is a saying in Chang'an, called "Weidu in the south of the city, five feet away from the sky". In other words, the Wei family and the Du family are very powerful and very close to the royal family. He just listened to it at the time, but he didn't expect that he hadn't entered Chang'an City yet, and he would provoke such a powerful person first.
However, not to mention Wei Du, who is still five feet away from the sky, even if the sky comes, it is impossible for him to offer this horse with both hands.
"It turned out to be the famous Wei Saburo." Li Zaixing's smile was even stronger, he wrapped the reins around the saddle, held the pole with both hands, and raised the pole head slightly, pointing directly in front of the young man. "Then I can't be careless, I have to do my best. Wei Saburo, are you going to go head-to-head, or are you going to fight in a group? ”…… Ask for recommendations, ask for favorites!.
