Chapter 213: The Dragon Gate Dart Game Shows Its Majesty
Li Bao saw Li Yue's curious face, and he said kindly: "Well, Da Lang, please speak up." ”
Li Yue opened the playbook, and then said: "The king's playbook is written in great detail, and even the servants have instructions on how to dress and make up.
It can be seen that the person who wrote this book is at least an insider in our industry, but the signature on this script is a person named Guan Hanqing. Although he is lonely and unheard, he is also familiar with people in Chang'an City, and he really doesn't know when such a talent came to Beijing. ”
Guan Hanqing is a great talent hundreds of years later, and everyone in the Yuan Dynasty miscellaneous dramas. Li Bao remembers the plots of operas such as "Dou E's Injustice" and "The Legend of the West Chamber", but he can't do it with specific lyrics, singing and the like.
After all, he has no expertise in this area, it is in the form of dramas that he intends to go to the future, and now the military dramas of the Tang Dynasty are also won by words, so Li Ke and his son have no objection to this.
In addition, Li Bao is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, so he will always sign Guan Hanqing in the script this time, so that he can feel more at ease.
Regarding Li Yue's question, Li Bao smiled, "This Guan Hanqing is a scholar that Gu accidentally met a few years ago, he has no intention of taking the imperial examination, but he is very interested in opera, so he told Gu the story in his heart."
Gu remembered his remarks some time ago, and based on his remarks, and wrote the story he told Lone, since this story is his, the signature is naturally based on his name. ”
When Li Keji's father and son and Mrs. Li heard what Prince Ji said, they naturally praised Li Bao for not being greedy for fame and being broad-minded, and also praised Naguan Hanqing's talent in unison. Li Yue was also full of regret that he couldn't meet Guan Hanqing.
Li Bao listened, and his heart was very happy, if you want to see him, unless you can be as lucky as your brother, you can cross over.
Next, Li Bao and the Li family father and son discussed the composition of the troupe, the displacement venue, and the issue of cooperation with the Hu Nu Song and Dance Troupe of Shi Kang'an's brothers and sisters, and so on.
When the sky was late, Li Baozhi proudly turned back to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, but there was a big war fermenting on the outskirts of Ganzhou under the same sky.
……………………………………………………
There is a large merchant group campsite more than 40 miles southwest of Ganzhou City, this business group is a business trip from Chang'an to Dashi, and now seeing that the New Year is approaching, this business traveler is rushing home for the New Year.
Because everyone is like an arrow, the entire business group did not settle in Ganzhou, and people are holding in their hearts that one more step will be closer to home. Moreover, now that the ground in Hexi has been much safer, the guards hired this time are the newly famous Longmen Dart Bureau on the trade route from Chang'an to Dashi.
It was because everyone hurried and hurried, but it was late, and the winter in Hexi was bitterly cold. It was the merchant group that set up camp here when it was just dark.
After the caravan set up camp, the men in the caravan and the executioners in the dart bureau were nervously setting up their tents, and some men took out the horse manure that had been stored in the bag and lit a fire with some firewood.
Although it is winter now, after the winter of this year, only a few heavy snowfalls have fallen in November in Hexi, and after entering the wax moon, it is rare that there has never been snow again.
But tonight the lead clouds in the sky were thick, and the north wind was sharp, and the faces of the people who blew straight forward seemed to have been cut by knives. There was a sand dune about three miles away from the camp, and there were a few people on the sand dunes who kept looking into the distance.
Leading the way among the several people in the dunes was a stout man, and not far from him was an old man in his early sixties.
The others were young men, dressed in neat clothes, and though they were standing neatly in the cold wilderness, they all had a fierce temperament in their eyes.
These people are the dart masters and executioners of the Longmen Dart Bureau, headed by Ding Badao, and the old man next to him is none other than Mu Da, who rescued Li Bao and Xinniang under the Huaqing Palace.
Ding Badao looked up at the sky and turned to Mu Dadao: "Daddy Mu, did you say that we made a mistake today." In such a dark day, I'm afraid no one wants to come out to rob. ”
Mu Da listened to Ding Badao's words, picked up his big hand and touched his face, tidied up his wind-blown beard again, and said with a hehe: "This is not accurate, since our Longmen Dart Bureau has set up a signboard on the ground in Hexi, there are quite a few bandits on this entire trade route that have been exterminated by us."
We've exterminated so many bandits and robbers, but have we ever met a real thief? ”
When Ding Badao heard this, he hesitated: "Daddy Mu, do you mean to say that the big horse bandit in Hexi is 'Hexi'?" ”
"Yes, since a certain family joined our Dragon Gate Dart Bureau, we have heard a lot of rumors about this big thief, but in the past few months, we have not encountered a single soldier of this thief gang. Aren't you surprised? ”
When Mu Da finished saying this, Ding Badao clearly saw a trace of wisdom and spiciness.
"If it's really as Dad said, what is faintly behind us this time is the person who is 'Hexi Branch'?" After Ding Badao finished saying this hypothesis, his heart spontaneously became excited.
Seeing Ding Badao like this, a trace of worry flashed in Mu Da's eyes, this man is still a little young and can't calm down. He specified that as long as he had the artillery made by King Ji, he would be invincible in this world.
However, there is a reason for this optimism, since the establishment of their Longmen Dart Bureau, there have been no less than dozens of large and small battles, killing no less than five or six hundred bandits, and the role of divine artillery is indispensable.
But through the observation of the past few months, the rumors of this Hexi horse bandits, and Mu Da's decades of hunting experience, he can almost conclude according to his intuition that it is the cunning "Hexi Yiwu" who has been secretly following them this time. ”
Mu Da remembered that after the end of the Huaqing Palace, Li Bao took his hand and begged him to stay in the first village and not to go back to the mountains and wilderness to live in seclusion. Ask him to be the second master in the Longmen Dart Bureau, so as to guide and assist Ding Badao.
Ding Badao is very steady, but after a long period of success, it is inevitable that he will be a little careless and proud. Mu Da couldn't let Ding Badao be so optimistic.
So Mu Dadao: "Da Lang must not be careless in this matter, it is better to prepare early, and besides, we are from outside, so it is not a big mistake to be careful." ”
Ding Badao listened to Mu Da's words, although he was reluctant in his heart, but he still followed Mu Da's advice, so he said to the executioner behind him: "Go and inform the people of the merchant group to camp according to the method we taught." ”
After a man obeyed the order, he immediately clenched his fists, got on his horse and galloped away.
Ding Badao said to the remaining men: "A few of you quickly go to pick up the brothers who went out to investigate, you have been going for so long, and I don't know if there was an accident, you must go to find out the news, don't waste the battle, you know?" ”
The remaining men immediately received the order, and then also mounted their horses and headed northwest.
Seeing that his subordinates had been ordered to set off, Ding Badao said to Mu Da: "Father Mu, let's go back to the camp, it won't help to blow the wind here, the children will be fine." ”
Mu Da retracted his gaze from afar, then followed Ding Badao to get on the horse and slowly walked towards the camp.
The executioner of the Longmen Dart Bureau explained the requirements of the chief dart master, so the entire camp took action, and along with the actions of the entire merchant group, there were also many complaints from the merchants and men.
Ding Badao turned a deaf ear to these complaints, he only cared about being able to keep these people safe, and besides, their achievements in Hexi also showed that their methods were very effective, and he was not afraid that these merchants would not accept them.
When they arrived at the camp, their own executioners came and took their horses and brought them to feed. Ding Badao and Mu Da continued to slowly patrol the camp to prevent any omissions or unsafe blind spots.
When the two of them left for a short time, a guy came to report that Wang Jiuhu, the leader of the merchant group, had been invited. Ding Badao and Mu Da didn't dare to delay, and went directly to Wang Jiuhu's camp with their guys.
After the guy arrived with the two of them, he left directly. There were special guards guarding outside the tent, and after they greeted Ding Badao, they immediately went in to report. After a while, the guards came out and invited the two to enter.
Wang Jiuhu's tent was very luxurious, and when he entered the tent, a warm breath came to his face, and the ground was covered with a long-haired carpet of Tibetan specialties, and ambergris incense was burned in the tent. A beautiful orchid stood at the door of the tent, saluted the two of them, and then left with Nana.
Wang Jiuhu sat on the soft couch in the center of the tent, and when he saw the two of them arriving, he hurriedly said to the two: "Two dart masters, please sit down." ”
Ding and Mu thanked Wang Jiuhu, and then sat on the low couch respectively.
Wang Jiuhu raised his glass to the two, and then toasted to himself. Ding and Mu glanced at each other, and both picked up the wine glasses on the low table and drank them all.
The entrance of the wine was like a hot stream from the throat to the stomach, and then the wine glass, smelling carefully, spicy and mellow, Ding Badao and Mu Da couldn't help but praise, "Good wine!" ”
Wang Jiu laughed and said, "Listen to the guy, the two dart masters ordered to camp in battle mode tonight, did the two dart masters find something wrong?" ”
Ding Badao glanced at Mu Da and said cautiously: "There is nothing abnormal at present, but it is safe to go out." Is it to be a certain and Mu Daddy think that it is still in battle mode to camp. Although the guys are tired after a day's journey, we can't ignore safety just because we're tired. ”
"Well said!" Wang Jiuhu gave Ding Badao a thumbs up, then pointed to the wine jug on the table and said, "Let's drink a few more glasses, it's freezing outside now, drink some wine to get rid of the cold." ”
Ding Badao wanted to say something more, but Mu Da stood up and said: "Thank you Wang Caidong for your kindness, it's just that a certain level of defense is in your body, and you don't dare to be greedy for a cup, so you shouldn't drink a cup just now, if you drink it again, I'm afraid that it will be a mistake, so I will wait until I return to Chang'an to drink this wine." ”
After listening to Mu Da's words, Wang Jiuhu couldn't help but appreciate: "Well, Daddy Mu is really a good man, I really admire it, this wine has been recorded, and when you get to Chang'an, don't shirk anymore." ”
Ding Mu and the two said: "Certainly, definitely" and then the two said goodbye and left.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Wang Jiu muttered: "Prince Ji is really a masterpiece, he has gathered so many good men for his use, and his future is limitless!" ”
