Chapter Twenty-Nine: Little Ash
At the beginning of the court, Li Kuan and these children are not qualified to enter, after all, the age is too young, and those national events, intrigue still do not allow these little guys to come into contact. The eldest grandson went to the harem, where there were several concubines she knew well. Li Chengqian and Li Ke also ignored Li Kuan, and they stayed away from this brother who was better than them everywhere. Li Kuan could only wander around boredly alone, but fortunately, the brocade robe on his body and the jade pendant on his waist showed his identity, and no one came out to stop him.
Unconsciously, Li Kuan wandered to the Xuanwu Gate again, and Qin Qiong was still kneeling there. The back was desolate, and the originally straight waist looked rickety at the moment, his hair was scattered, and the silver hair was messy on his head like a clump of weeds.
Li Kuan slowly paced over and came to Qin Qiong's side: "Old General Qin! ”
"It's the second son! Are you here to convey the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin? Qin Qiong's eyes were blank, he knew that Li Er was a person who valued love and righteousness, but such a person would never accept betrayal, even if it was for a reason, he would not blame more, but he would never forgive lightly. Qin Qiong knelt here just to ask for peace of mind, or he still had a trace of luxury, hoping that Li Er would forgive him for his distress.
"The boy didn't receive a message from his father, who is in the early dynasty at the moment." Although Li Kuan wanted to tell a lie to comfort the veteran, he knew that if he comforted her at this time, Li Er's attitude would probably still knock him into the abyss, and it was better to continue to be cruel like this than to give him a false hope to be shattered.
"So what is the second son doing here?" Although Qin Qiong was very disappointed, she still didn't come out. Instead, he asked out loud.
"The kid had nothing to do, wandering around, but I didn't expect to walk back here!" Li Kuan said honestly.
"Huh...... The second son actually has the heart to wander around here. Looks like he's guts! But I have a question I want to ask the second son, is it really useless because you are afraid that King Qin will not fulfill the will of the Holy One? Qin Qiong's eyes showed a look of doubt at this time, he believed that no one would believe Li Kuan's previous statement, but at that time, he couldn't care so much about it: Li Er lost his square inch for a while because of Qin Qiong's matter; Not to mention Cheng Biting Jin, he was sandwiched between Li Er and Qin Qiong, and he was in a dilemma, how could he still have the heart to distinguish the true from the false, and in order to pretend to be his foolish posture. He wouldn't ask too much. Now that Li Kuan is here, of course Qin Qiong wants to ask for an understanding.
"I wonder if General Qin wants to hear the truth or a lie?" Li Kuan tilted his head and asked.
"What about the truth, and what about the falsehood?" Qin Qiong asked rhetorically.
"The truth is. The kid wanted the prince and the king of Qi to die here, but to put it bluntly, the kid was shocked by the tragic killing when he first went to the battlefield. So I forgot about it. "Li Kuan is very honest. He believed that Qin Qiong would say these words to the people who should hear them, he didn't want to explain anymore, and he was really tired of saying it over and over again.
"Why?" Qin Qiong only asked this sentence, but the meaning was very complicated, one was asking why the two of them died here, and the other was asking why they said it directly to themselves like this.
"Because, cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Now that the face has been torn. Don't scruple anymore, even if you are infamous on your back, so what? Leave them alive. There will be endless troubles in the future. As for the kid suing General Qin like this, because the kid is lazy and doesn't want to explain the past one by one, I believe that General Qin should be happy to help the kid with this. Li Kuan stood up, moved his hands and feet, looked at the battlefield that had been almost cleared, and decided to leave here.
"Grab it, don't let it run!" At this moment, the shouts of the Xuanjia guards under the city wall sounded, and Li Kuan stretched out his head to see that a large group of soldiers in armor were chasing a puppy. Li Kuan was stunned, this is the palace! Where did the puppy come from?
But after thinking about it, there was a big battle here just now, and there was blood everywhere, and it was not surprising that the smell of blood attracted the nearby dogs, and the city gate was open, only so two people were guarding, and the rest of the people were cleaning the battlefield, and this little dog might have run in directly from the city gate.
The puppy is very flexible, the pursuit of the soldiers is dodged by it left and right, but no matter how flexible it is, it is just a dog, although the soldiers are not equipped with weapons to clean the battlefield, and a suit of armor is also strict to affect the action, but they form a circle and force the puppy to the root of the city wall.
"Kill it, actually lick human blood, this dog can't ask for it!" A soldier shouted.
The ancients were sometimes so ignorant, what dog can't eat human blood, and after eating human blood, it will become a mad dog. What is such a thing in modern times? The dog is even better than his son, not to mention licking the blood twice, even if it bites on your leg, if you dare to hit his dog, the owner of the dog will fight with you. If you want to lose money, you can do it, but if you want to beat the dog, there is no way.
Li Kuan stood on the city wall and watched the soldiers under the city catch dogs, which was very interesting. A large group of people actually couldn't do anything with a dog, Li Kuan looked at it with interest.
The puppy pounced, drilled directly under the crotch of the soldiers in the encirclement, escaped from the encirclement, and then ran in a panic, actually coming towards the city tower.
There were only Li Kuan and Qin Qiong kneeling on the city tower, and the dog almost had no way to go after running up to the city tower, because there were female walls on both sides of this city wall, leaving a gap but at the moment it was blocked by a fence, and the gap in the dense fence was very small, and the dog couldn't pass at all.
So a large group of soldiers blocked the way back, and the puppy actually made an amazing move, it ran in front of Li Kuan and lay directly at his feet, just like Li Kuan's pet.
"It's a clever little thing, but I don't have a dog!" Li Kuan said.
But the dog actually looked up at him as if he understood Li Kuan's words, and made a 'woo' pleading sound in his mouth, as if begging Li Kuan to save it.
"Second son!" The soldier who caught up saluted Li Kuan: "Please also ask the second prince to hand over this dog to the humble position, the dog that drank human blood is not ripe, because its wolf nature has been awakened." The soldier pleaded with Li Kuan.
"Really?" Li Kuan remained silent, although he didn't believe this, he was also curious about this statement.
"Yes, dogs and wolves seem to be two animals, but they have something in common, there was such a dog on our Zhuangzi back then, because of the war and death, the blood stains were not cleaned up when it was licked and eaten, and then the dog became a wolf, and became a wolf king in the mountains and forests behind Zhuangzi!" This soldier told his story, but he didn't go to school and told the story dryly, not at all, and Li Kuan suddenly lost interest.
"That's it?" Li Kuan said this, but lowered his head and looked at the puppy at his feet, the ears were lying on his stomach, not erect like a wolf, and the hair on his neck was very long, like a shoulder, which attracted Li Kuan's attention, you must know that the dogs of this era are very orthodox Chinese pastoral dogs, that is, earth dogs, this kind of dog does not have this circle of hair, and the appearance of such a situation can only show that this dog is extraordinary.
After taking a closer look, Li Kuan found a strange place again, the average dog paw only has five meat pads, four in the front and one in the back. But this dog had six, five in front and five claws, and the other dogs had only four. There is also a large pad of meat and a small paw that does not touch the ground, which is the same as a normal dog.
This discovery completely made Li Kuan interested, and he remembered a legend he had heard before: at that time, there was a mythical legend told by the old people in the village, if a dog gave birth to nine puppies in one litter, then a mastiff from nine dogs would appear a puppy different from the rest of the dogs, and this dog was actually a mastiff, that is, the king of dogs.
Could it be that this is a dog king? So if you raise it, will you be able to defeat the lion and tiger? How about Tibetan mastiffs? Li Kuan thought about it, and said to those soldiers: "I want this dog, what will turn into a wolf if you drink human blood, it's all nonsense, a dog is a dog, it won't become a wolf, I'm afraid the one you said who becomes a wolf is a little wolf cub." ”
"Second son!" The soldier still refused to give up.
"It's okay, don't you think it's quite well-behaved!" Li Kuan said that he looked at the motionless puppy lying at his feet, and he was really well-behaved, not making a fuss at all, just lying quietly like that, with his tail wagging from time to time.
"In this case, I don't want to force it anymore, I just hope that if the second son finds that there is something wrong with this dog, he must deal with it as soon as possible!" His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the soldier knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change Li Kuan's mind, so he could only retreat.
"I know this, and a dog can't hurt me like this." Li Kuan still has this self-confidence.
In this way, Li Kuan had an extra dog in his later life, and the dog he named 'Little Gray Gray' later became a big helper in his Quartet campaign, especially during the conquest of Tibet.
Under the scorching sun at noon, Li Er took his eldest grandson out of the palace, Li Kuan also took his newfound pet, followed his father and mother back to the camp of Xuanjiawei, Qin Wangfu is not going back, Li Er has been canonized as the crown prince, and is about to enter the East Palace, I am afraid that he will ascend to the throne in a few months, Li Yuan's current physical condition is really unbearable to deal with national affairs.
Back in the camp, Li Er issued the first order to bring back the people from the Qin Wangfu who had been sent to Luoyang, as well as the families of the people from the Tiance Mansion. As for Qin Qiong's matter, he seemed to have forgotten it and didn't mention it again, but not long after he left the palace, Qin Qiong also stood up from the city tower, rode his yellow fat horse, and walked out of the palace.
The ministers of civil and military affairs who participated in this court meeting also went home with excitement or apprehension in their hearts, and they also began a series of arrangements after they went home, because I am afraid that a series of official promotions and demoralizations will occur in the near future, and some necessary things must be arranged properly, and the way back that should be left must be prepared as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that the rush will cause greater disasters at that time.
