At dawn the next day, Wei Chi Jingde led the veterans and wounded soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield and rode back to Chang'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Before leaving, Lu Fengxian smiled and said, "Fengqu, be careful when you go back, don't be robbed again!" ”
Bai Qi glanced at a little girl hiding behind him, and glanced at him angrily: "When I go back, I will tell Sister Mu that you are a conscienceless beast, and even children are not at ease!" ”
"Boss, boss, you are fat, and I rely on you for the rest of my life!" The fat man's massive body leaned in.
"Fuck off, I don't care about the rest of your life!"
Farewell, this land that once shed blood. White is on his horse, standing on the hillside, looking back. Damn, Lu Fengxian and Yan Fatzi who saw them off are no longer at the door, who said that the ancients saw off the people very well! White took a spit, galloped his horse, and caught up with the team.
The soldiers on the horse turned their heads back from time to time, looking at the cart of bags decorated with copper coins and bacon covered with cloths behind them, and their eyes were full of irrepressible excitement.
"Look at everything, it's all out of your money bag!" Wei Chi Jingde looked back at the ruts that had been deeply crushed underground, and his dark face also smiled.
"General, you're smiling!" The voice of the white chess offender sounded next to Wei Chi Jingde.
Wei Chi Jingde stared at the big eyes, glanced at the white chess pieces lying in the carriage and looked at the passing white chess, called two sergeants, and said viciously: "Get up for the old man, it's not like it!" ”
Bai Qi regretted it, he originally pretended that the wounded were fine, but he was cheap for a while, and he was called up by Wei Chi Jingde, and now he is wearing heavy armor, and the sun in the sky is very vicious. In the tight armor, the person is like sitting in a mobile sauna, and all at once he is sweating profusely.
Looking at Wei Chi Jingde, who was walking in front, sweat was flowing out of his pants along his body and dripping on the ground.
Bai Qice stepped forward immediately and came to Wei Chi Jingde's side: "General, the sun is too fierce at noon, if you go any further, the soldiers will probably suffer from heat stroke!" ”
Wei Chi Jingde turned his head and said very seriously: "Isn't marching and fighting like child's play!" If I can't stand even such a little heat, how can I become a teacher of eternity! ”
Bai Qi was helpless, and when he was resting, he secretly asked someone to boil some mung bean water, and from one of the cars, he took out the ice made in Dingxiang City last night, put it in sugar water, and made it into cold mung bean paste, which was taken to the soldiers to drink, and he took a bowl of mung bean paste to Wei Chi Jingde, who was resting.
Yu Chi Jingde glanced at the white chess, silently took the bowl, and drank it all.
"Uncle, don't be in such a hurry, be careful of hurting your stomach!" After Bai Qi finished speaking, Yu Chi Jingde had already finished drinking the mung bean paste.
"It's just you!" Chi Jingde, the lieutenant in the army, has become the same as the one on weekdays, becoming more majestic and more disciplined.
Wei Chi Jingde pulled the white chess pieces to a dirt slope, pointed to the vast land and grassland, in the distance, Dingxiang City had become a point, and said: "Boy, look at every inch of land here, here used to flow the blood of our Tang people. Our Datang soldiers are disciplined and brave to charge into battle, for the well-being of my Datang, regardless of life and death, we must also let the four seas be peaceful, in order to let my people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, God blocks and kills God, the devil blocks and destroys the Buddha, why can't you! Don't worry about the people who killed them for a little suffering, they don't deserve your effort; Don't have any complaints against your elders, including me, the pharmacist, and others, in our hearts, only victory is the best remembrance and reward for the deceased! ”
Bai Qi shook Wei Chi Jingde to the end, and it took a long time to straighten up, his eyes flashed with starlight, he looked at the soldier in front of him who had fought all his life, and said seriously: "What Uncle said, Bai Qi remembers in my heart!" However, I still want to say that for every Datang soldier, it is worth my pay! ”
After looking at each other for a while, Yu Chi Jingde laughed, patted Bai Qi on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then turned around and walked down the dirt slope together.
When he returned, in order to hurry, the army began to walk from the mountains, and the road became more and more difficult, and when it came later, it began to rain, and the mountain roads were muddy.
In the deep mountains, there are no people, the trees are towering, and the ancient vines are coiled on the old trees, in the grass, on the big trees, and occasionally poisonous snakes are infested. The heavy rain ticked down, hit the mountain, and fell on the walking Tang soldiers, splashing pieces of water.
A group of people walked in the rain, there was no road to open a road by themselves, pushing a wheelbarrow, walking in this primeval forest with difficulty, no one made a sound, very dull.
After walking for four or five days in a row, I turned a valley and saw that the front suddenly opened up, and on the low hills, in the low bushes, there were no poisonous snakes and other fierce beasts to be guarded against at any time, and in front of me was an open land that could be seen as far as the eye could see.
At this time, the rain just stopped, the sky began to clear, and a brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky, and a huge city stood under the rainbow, looking from a distance, as if it was covered with a layer of colorful clothes.
When it was finally time to go home, everyone's faces were filled with pleasant smiles, and the oppressive feeling of the previous days in the primeval forest was quickly washed away by the freshness of the rain.
When he saw Chang'an City, White's heart beat so fast that he couldn't breathe. He had only seen Chang'an City on TV before, but when he returned to the Tang Dynasty and saw this greatest city with his own eyes, he realized that the Chang'an City he watched on TV was so superficial that Bai Qi could no longer use words to describe the greatness of this city!
Disbanded the soldiers who came back, let them go home for a day, and then go to Chang'an tomorrow to receive the reward, and Wei Chi Jingde took the white chess from Mingde Gate into Chang'an City.
Suzaku Street, which is more than 150 meters wide, is lined with drainage ditches, and rows of elm and locust trees are planted on both sides of the street. Like a square matchbox, the alleys are neatly distributed on both sides of the street with Suzaku Street as the central axis. Looking in from the door of the inner square, you can see children playing, the old man lying under the big tree to enjoy the shade, a young and strong young man is hooking up with a girl, seeing Bai Qi looking over, he glared fiercely and came back, and then took the girl's hand and ran away.
After walking for nearly a few hundred meters, he came to the foot of the imperial city, and the forbidden army guarding the gate saw that Captain Chi Jingde was back, and immediately stepped forward to lead the horse, and the other person went into the city to report.
Bai Qi stood outside the imperial city, looking left and right, not far away, there were officials standing outside the city, in a group, muttering something, some said that the people who were interested waved their hands, and took the other people to the West Market to watch the bearded girl dance.
White pretended to lower his head, but in fact his eyes kept peeking around, and it was quite interesting to watch.
"What are you muttering, come with me into the temple!" Wei Chi Jingde played white chess, took him through the Vermilion Bird Gate, walked through the long and high palace wall, and then the waiter waiting here walked with the two of them crookedly, and the white chess didn't have time to appreciate the style of the Tang Palace, and the waiter who led the way in front spoke: "General Wei Chi, Bai Xiaolangjun, Your Majesty is already waiting in the Liangyi Palace!" ”
The chamberlain led them in. Entering the Liangyi Palace, there was already a group of middle-aged men standing inside, including Fang Xuanling, who Bai Qi knew and pretended to be Mr. Ling Fu.
Bai Qi secretly glanced around, only to see Fang Xuanling smiling kindly at him, and then replied with a smile. Looking up again, there was a middle-aged man with a clear face and an extraordinary appearance sitting in the hall, with a beard on his mouth and a pair of eyes looking forward to life, and in the future generations, it is definitely the standard template for a middle-aged uncle who has fascinated thousands of girls, this should be the famous Li Shimin in later generations, our great Tang Taizong Your Majesty.
"That kid in the hall, the thief eyebrow, what are you doing with a glance?" Wei Chi Jingde returned to the group of old men, and before Bai Qi could speak, Li Shimin suddenly asked.
"The Bai family and Bai Fengqu, who are from the Qinling Mountains, have seen Your Majesty." White immediately lowered his head, looking like a good boy at your mercy.
"Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your seat."
After Bai Qi sat down, Li Shimin looked over and asked, "You just said that you are from Qinling?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Because my family has been living in the depths of the clouds in the Qinling Mountains since the Sui Dynasty, my father will always think that my household registration is Qinling nationality. ”
"I see. Now your father and mother are available? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, my mother fell ill when she was pregnant with me, and died of weakness and dystocia when she gave birth to me. My father raised me since I was a child, and when I was ten years old, he took me everywhere to wander, to see the customs and customs of various places, and to take away useful things for me everywhere. However, in the locust plague three years ago, my father died on the road because of hunger, and before I died, I listened to my father's last words, incinerated his body, and spent three years traveling all over Datang, scattering the ashes on the land of Datang. Later, because of the flood, I was washed up in Taoyuan Village and rescued by the villagers. ”
Speaking of emotion, Bai Qi's face is still full of sadness, and even tears, no way, here are a group of old foxes, if you want them to believe, you must first make yourself believe, in your mind, a middle-aged scholar in white clothes fluttering, with a sword at his waist, and his son to the world The image of a middle-aged scholar emerges in his mind, he is wise, Boda, and has unparalleled knowledge and wisdom.
"Such a benevolent person died in famine like this, it is really my pain for Datang!" Over there, the slightly chubby man sighed.
"Wuji is right, it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet this person! So, this potato was also obtained by your father and son when they traveled? ”
"It was brought back from a distant country by a friend of my father's and given to my father. It is said that the country is separated from the Tang Dynasty by an ocean, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and my father's friend also passed away soon after he returned, and he left the seeds of potatoes to his father before he died. ”
"Oh, and the country on the other side of the ocean?" Li Shimin suddenly became very interested, and the rest of the people in the hall also showed curious expressions.
White cleared his throat and drew a circle on his chest: "My father has many friends, and these friends often travel in this world. He said that this world is very big, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, there are also Heng Rus, Roman Empire and other empires, and on the other side of the ocean, there are also continents, where many people also live. ”
When all the people in the temple heard these things for the first time, they were all very surprised.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't talk to your father for a long time in this life!" ”
"It's a pity that my father died early, and I can no longer be enshrined at his feet as a son of man, and I can do my filial piety as a son of man!"
"Bai Fengqu, how much have you learned from your father?" Li Shimin asked.
"My father is knowledgeable, astronomy and geography, physics, mathematics and physics, etc., but unfortunately I only learned that he was less than a percent, and he left."
White's tone was filled with infinite regret and a sigh on his face. He raised his head and secretly glanced around, very good, everyone else seemed to believe it, and then secretly glanced at Li Shimin, who was worthy of being the emperor of all ages, his expression remained unchanged for ten thousand years, and he didn't know if he fooled him.
