Chapter 14: The Last Leisure

Reached an 'agreement' with Li Er, and Li Kuan began his real life in the army happily, this time without going on an expedition, but near Chang'an City, in Wannian County, under the jurisdiction of Chang'an. Although the county seat at the foot of the Son of Heaven is not a big county, it is also rich in people, and there is also a unit of the left and right guards guarding Chang'an City - Zuo Qianniuwei. After the bloodshed in Xuanwu Gate, several of the sixteen guards were disabled, so Li Er decided to rectify it, leaving only the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards to guard Gyeonggi, and the rest were transferred to the local governments to lead the government soldiers. After Li Er ascended the throne, he once again reorganized the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards, and filled up the soldiers. In the past few years, this Zuo Qianniuwei has been stationed in this Wannian County, and there is no war trouble, these soldiers are constantly practicing every day, and helping the people of Wannian County when they are busy with farming.

Because this group of big-headed soldiers usually helps from time to time, the people below Wannian County love this army very much, and of course, this is also related to the fact that most of the soldiers in this army are from this Wannian County. Now because the Son of Heaven is in the church, the people are also willing to be soldiers, because the soldiers eat food, and if one of the family members is a soldier, then the family's fifteen taxes and one tax will be reduced, which is also the reason why the people are willing to join the army. Anyway, there are fewer battles now, and being a soldier is not necessarily dangerous.

But now this army has been given an order from above, that is, to select ten men from each of the hundred troops under their command, and the strength of the sixteen guards is about 25,000 to 40,000 men, which means that even if it is one out of ten miles now, there will be 25 to 4,000 men. The order was issued to send the selected people to the Royal Horse Farm on the eastern outskirts of the capital. And then it's none of their business.

This order baffled them and sent people to the Eastern Suburbs Horse Farm? What is this for? Do you want to go to the horse farm as a groom? Isn't this an offense against their soldiers? But they did not dare to disobey the orders from above. So in order to select these 'talents' one out of ten, the leader of this gang of Zuo Qianniuwei can be said to have worked hard. It doesn't say what kind of soldiers you want. So the selection rights of a qiē are in their hands. If the soldiers selected do not conform to the wishes of the higher-ups, they may not escape the charge of incompetence. So a vigorous competition in the army was staged in this camp of Zuo Qianniuwei.

Ring in the army. The comparison is strength, and the comparison is combat effectiveness, so a group of big bosses and coarse people shouted as hard as they could around a makeshift ring, and all the foul words were roaring out.

"The second dog of the dog, dare to sneak attack, eat Lao Tzu's plan to pick peaches!" A thin soldier dodged and dodged a side kick from the rough soldier on the opposite side, and then rolled on the ground, and his right hand directly grabbed the part where a man would feel a pain in the egg, and the attack was not ruthless. And it's extremely tricky and obscene.

"Zhang Goudan, you are going to cut off my children and grandchildren, I cāo!" The rough soldier was on the back side, and then he didn't squat down, and the sheathed long knife in his hand smashed straight down like this, with all the ruthlessness, if it was smashed this time, it would definitely be a direct headshot. The sheathed long knife smashed mercilessly at the thin soldier with the sound of whirring wind.

This kind of thing has been playing out in this camp for the past two days, and the ambiguous orders from above have puzzled the leaders of this gang of Zuo Qianniuwei, so they decided to select a group of people in this way. This must be the bravest soldier in the army, no one can speak, after all, the most elite men and horses have been sent to you, what else. Even if it's to go to the royal horse farm in the eastern suburbs to be a groom. He is also the strongest groom in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Li Kuan didn't know these things, and he was taking advantage of this last free time to enjoy the embrace of two maids and a few younger sisters. And Li Er also turned a blind eye during this time. For Li Band, Li Liqian, and Yuzhang, Gao Yang. Qinghe, Lanling and a few other sisters went out of the palace to play and didn't say anything. It's just that a lot of people have been secretly excluded from guarding the left and right.

And Li Kuan also knows that things can be big or small, and a group of half-grown Loli were also asked by him to disguise themselves as men before they could go out of the palace to play. When out of the palace gate, this group of little princesses who have been in the palace for a long time have become problem babies one by one, which makes Li Kuan very helpless, and suddenly feels that it is really a wrong thing to take this group of little Lori out to go shopping. For example, now:

"Second brother, look, what is that person selling? It stinks! Yu Zhang wore a smiling hat, hid a green silk in the hat, and wore a light green silk shirt, just like an ordinary rich young master, but with red lips and white teeth, coupled with a fleshy face, it makes people feel that this little guy must be a turbid son when he grows up. At this time, she pointed to a butcher who sold pork and asked.

This girl didn't know how to restrain at all, and her voice was crisp for all the people around her to hear, although there were not many people, but they all looked in the direction where the little finger was pointing. When they saw the butcher with a sideways face, they couldn't help but feel speechless for a while, everyone knew that this pig was not growing in a bad environment, and it was all in a place like a latrine, so pork was generally not in the recipes of the nobles and the family. But the people don't care about this, they only know that pork is cheaper, and eating pork is undoubtedly a great saving for the family compared to cattle and sheep. And the butcher sells pork offal, intestines, and these things are all put together, so the smell will definitely not smell good.

Yu Zhang has also eaten pork, but she has never seen pork before cooking, in her eyes, pork is the 'Dongpo meat' made by Li Kuan, the color is yellow, and fragrant. Where would you have thought that pork is actually so stinky.

"Yuzhang, don't be rude!" Li Lizhi spoke out on the side to stop Yu Zhang's radical moves, you must know that in the west city of Chang'an City, the flow of people is mixed, if the butcher is angry by what this little guy said, maybe there will be some unnecessary conflicts, although they are not afraid at all, but there is no need to cause trouble.

"It stinks!" Yu Zhang is not afraid of Li Li's quality at all, although he can't beat his sister when he grows up, he can run away.

"Okay, don't make any noise, that's pork, Yuzhang, didn't you say that Dongpo meat is delicious, it's made of stinky meat!" Li Kuan stopped the quarrel between the two sisters and explained Yu Zhang's problem out loud.

"Oh!" Yu Zhang, who got the answer, stopped: "It's so stinky, I won't eat Dongpo meat in the future!" ”

"Second brother, I want to eat, second brother will make a lot of Dongpo meat in the future, will you make a dowry for Gao Yang?" Since the last time he got a large piece of crystal as a dowry, Gao Yang has had a deep grudge against this dowry, and no matter what, he uses this as an excuse. The little guy is only about five years old, and she still doesn't understand the meaning of this dowry, but she knows that this dowry is a good thing, as long as she says so, both the father and the queen mother will give her good things. This can be seen from the screen carved with the pattern of flying phoenixes and the pair of Hetian mutton fat jade white horses placed in her dormitory.

"Okay, when Gao Yang gets married in the future, the second brother will make a lot of Dongpo meat for Gao Yang as a dowry!" Li Kuan couldn't cry or laugh, this little guy's thinking is very strange, who would use this food as a dowry?

"Second brother, Qinghe wants it too!"

"And Lanling!" If one sheep crosses the river, ten sheep will also cross the river. Seeing that Gao Yang got the 'dowry', the other two little ones also screamed.

"Okay, okay......" Li Kuan was suddenly surrounded by this group of little guys, these little guys didn't understand anything, but they just had to mix everything, which was difficult to handle.

Li Lizhi covered her mouth and smiled, her knife-cut fragrant shoulders were trembling slightly, she knew what the dowry was, and she could imagine that when these little guys got married with a plate of Dongpo meat in ten years, she couldn't help it. But she stopped laughing after laughing for a while, because Li Kuan turned around and glanced at her: "What's the matter, does Lizhi want it too?" Well, this second brother will make a little more for you and bring it to your future in-laws to taste! ”

"People don't want it! Second brother, you are cheating! Li Lizhi saw that she was affected by the pond fish, and immediately stopped doing it, so she fled quickly. Li Kuan followed closely and followed with a group of sisters, and the last ones were Tianxiang and Red Sleeves, who were definitely the last as maids.

"Come out!" Li Kuan stopped abruptly as he walked, and then said to a small house.

"Second brother!" A chubby figure walked out, dressed in a yellow brocade robe, and because of its extremely wide size, it squeezed out of the small door like a wall.

"Blue Sparrow, why are you here?" Li Kuan felt that someone was following them along the way, but he didn't expect it to be Li Tai, shouldn't this guy be busy in the 'Hongwen Pavilion' that he was forming, how could he follow them.

"Second brother, I want to lose weight!" Li Tai said with a big belly, staring at Li Kuanshen for fear that he would not agree.

"Won't you give up halfway this time?" Li Kuan looked at the fat fourth brother who was almost a ball, and asked very seriously.

"Hmm!" Li Tai nodded heavily, but his neck, which he couldn't see at all, blocked his movement, and he only saw the layers of flesh on his chin shaking.

"Then, this time you can go to train with me, as for your Hongwen Pavilion, just wait for you to get it done when you want to go to the domain in the future, anyway, my father will not let you out of Beijing, you are not like the third child, my father will not forcibly drive you out!" Li Kuan said.

So there was another fat man in this group, and when the little Lori bought something strange, there was no need for Li Kuan, Red Sleeves and Tianxiang to move the package, all of them were hung on the meat ball, Li Kuan said that this was the preliminary training for weight loss.

In this way, after almost ten days, Liu Feng, the commander of Zuo Qianniu Wei in Wannian County, came with the news, that is, the selected people had been in place and had been sent to the eastern suburbs racecourse. So Li Eryi ordered, Li Kuan was sent to the eastern suburbs to train troops, and as for the red sleeves and Tianxiang, they were also left of the palace by Li Kuan, and lived in the small courtyard of the Chu Wangfu in Chang'an City.
