Chapter 73: Old Friends
Thousands of miles away, just to protect the frontier;
All the way, just to serve the country.
Jiang Dazhi and his entourage set off from Songyang County and ran non-stop towards Chang'an City.
After a long journey of several days, on this day, we arrived outside the east gate of Chang'an City, the imperial capital.
Jiang Dazhi rode on a horse, stood outside the east gate of Chang'an City, raised his eyes and looked at the tall city wall of Chang'an City, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.
"After more than a month, I really miss Chang'an City a little."
"Brother Jiang, I'm afraid that you don't miss Chang'an City, but the people in this city!"
"Those who know me, Brother Long is also!"
After Jiang Dazhi said this, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Let's go, go home." Jiang Dazhi said loudly on the horse.
Jiang Dazhi took the lead, followed by Wang Long, Benniu, Gouwa, Yang Jian, Qin Ruyue, Cheng Mahua, and the group entered Chang'an City and ran towards Jiangfu.
Walking on the streets of Chang'an City, Jiang Dazhi felt very cordial, he seemed to have regarded Chang'an City as his hometown in Datang, although Fanyang Mansion was his real hometown in Datang.
Back in Jiangfu, Jiang Dazhi instructed Xiaoju Xiaolan to cook lunch, but he only made one request, that is, only meat dishes.
After this continuous long-distance run, Jiang Dazhi felt that he had not eaten a good meal; Therefore, he urgently needs to fight the novels "One", "Ben" and "Read" ybdu sacrifices.
After lunch, Jiang Dazhi planned to visit Prime Minister Li Linfu; After all, Tang Xuanzong is not in the capital, and Li Linfu is the biggest official.
Jiang Dazhi asked the dog baby to drive the carriage, and he wanted to take the carriage to the prime minister's mansion; In this way, the noble status can be revealed.
Coming to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Dazhi stepped out of the carriage.
"Dog, you wait for me here."
"Yes, big brother."
After Jiang Dazhi gave the dog baby, he stepped forward and knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After a few moments, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened the door.
"Jiang Dazhi, the chief inspector of the rivers and lakes and the chief manager of the inner house, asks to see the prime minister."
"General Jiang, wait a minute."
"Thank you."
Jiang Dazhi saluted the housekeeper, and after the housekeeper returned the salute, he walked to the house.
It didn't take long for the butler to come out again.
"I'm sorry, General Jiang, my lord is unwell and can't meet guests."
When Jiang Dazhi heard this, he felt a little fake, but he couldn't think of why Li Linfu was reluctant to see him?
"Excuse me." Jiang Dazhi said with his fists clenched.
The housekeeper saluted Jiang Dazhi and then closed the door.
Jiang Dazhi turned around and walked towards the carriage, came to the side of the carriage, and jumped directly into the carriage.
The dog baby drove the carriage and rushed to Jiangfu.
"Big brother, isn't the Prime Minister at home?"
"At home, I say that I am unwell and inconvenient to meet guests."
"Big brother, according to the younger brother, the prime minister deliberately didn't see you."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Big brother, you think, you are the chief inspector of the rivers and lakes, even if the prime minister is unwell, I have to invite you into the house, and it is not too much to have a cup of tea! However, the Prime Minister didn't let you enter the door, which is obviously a deliberate non-desire to see you. ”
When Jiang Dazhi heard the dog baby's words, he felt that it made some sense, and thought: "Why doesn't this Li Linfu see me?" Could it be because of the ledger, which clearly records how much silver was given to him each year? ”
Jiang Dazhi thought about it this and felt that it was very likely that this was the reason why Li Linfu was reluctant to see him.
At this moment, Jiang Dazhi was laughing at Li Linfu in his heart, thinking: "I haven't handed over the account book to Tang Xuanzong yet, this Li Linfu is afraid and doesn't dare to see me, this courage is too small!" ”
Jiang Dazhi knew in his heart that from the moment he got the account book, he had become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many Beijing officials. In addition, from the fact that Qian is Qian's family was almost wiped out, it can also be seen that these Beijing officials have begun to take action.
Jiang Dazhi took out the account book he had collected, looked at it, and thought: "In this way, people in Chang'an City have to be more cautious in dealing with things, so as not to be caught by others and become the target of public criticism." ”
"Dog baby, go to Yang Guozhong's house." Jiang Dazhi said this while hiding the account book on his body.
"Yes, big brother." The dog replied loudly outside the carriage.
The dog turned the horse's head and drove the carriage straight to Yang's mansion.
After a while, he came to the door of the Yang Mansion.
Jiang Dazhi got out of the carriage and motioned for the dog baby to wait for him in place.
Jiang Dazhi walked to the gate of the Yang Mansion, came to the door, and knocked on the door of the Yang Mansion a few times.
Jiang Dazhi looked at the gate of the Yang Mansion and suddenly remembered that he spent the first Spring Festival in Datang in this house.
Jiang Dazhi raised his eyes to look at the couplets on both sides of the gate, and the handwriting on the couplets had not completely faded, so he couldn't help but read: "Last year, I studied Qianlimu, and this year it has reached a higher level." After reading the couplet, his mind immediately remembered a lot of past events.
Just when Jiang Dazhi was thinking of it, Yang Guozhong opened the door of Yang's mansion.
"Brother Jiang, why are you here?" Yang Guozhong said excitedly.
"It's not like I've just returned to Chang'an City, so I'm coming to see Brother Yang." Jiang Dazhi said with a smile.
"Quick, please."
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
"You're polite with me, please."
"Brother Yang, please."
Jiang Dazhi walked into Yang's mansion, followed Yang Guozhong to the living room, and the two sat down separately.
Yang Guozhong poured tea for Jiang Dazhi.
"Brother Yang, in the more than one month since Jiang left Chang'an City, has anything happened in Chang'an City?"
"There is no major event in Chang'an City, but the Nanzhao Kingdom has invaded the border pass, and the people in the capital are talking about it."
"What are you talking about?"
"I also care about whether the Nanzhao Kingdom will hit Chang'an City."
"Jiang was ordered to go to Yizhou this time, just to pacify the Nanzhao Kingdom. Therefore, Nanzhao will never be able to beat Chang'an City. ”
"With Brother Jiang going to conquer, he will definitely return with a big victory."
"Thank you Brother Yang for your good words, Jiang will leave today, and he will leave for Yizhou early tomorrow morning, and now he will go back to his house and have a good rest."
"Brother Jiang, be careful on the battlefield."
"Thank you Brother Yang for your concern, Jiang will definitely be careful and say goodbye."
"Take care."
Jiang Dazhi and Yang Guozhong saluted each other, and then, Yang Guozhong sent Jiang Dazhi out of Yang's mansion.
Jiang Dazhi got into the carriage, and the dog baby drove the carriage straight to Jiangfu.
The dog baby drove the carriage to a place a few miles away from Jiang Mansion, and Jiang Dazhi suddenly told the dog baby to stop the carriage.
Jiang Dazhi jumped from the carriage to the ground.
"Dog baby, you go back first, and the eldest brother will go quietly alone."
"Okay, big brother."
The dog baby didn't ask much, and drove the carriage to Jiangfu alone.
Jiang Dazhi was walking on the bustling streets of Chang'an City, he was going to see He Xiangxue and buy a gift for her by the way.
Jiang Dazhi knew that he was going to conquer Nanzhao, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back. Moreover, there are too many variables on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to come back alive. Therefore, he wanted to take the opportunity of still being in Chang'an City to meet He Xiangxue, who he thought about day and night.
Jiang Dazhi came to a booth for wood carving, and saw a set of carved wood carvings of the zodiac on it, but saw that these twelve small animals were carved by the wood carver master vividly, very expressive.
Jiang Dazhi liked it very much, and he picked up a pig. Of course, it wasn't that he was a pig that he picked up the pig, but because he felt that he looked like a pig.
"Boss, how much money is this?"
"Ten copper plates."
"No need to look for it."
Jiang Dazhi gave the boss a tael of silver, picked up the woodcarved pig, and walked towards Taizhen Temple.
Jiang Dazhi had been to Taizhen Temple several times, so he was very familiar with the way and easily entered the Taizhen Temple.
At this time, the sun was hanging in the western sky, and it was about to set.
Jiang Dazhi walked straight to the back wing room of Taizhen Temple, and when he came to the back wing room, he saw Yang Yuhuan and He Xiangxue standing on a small hillside not far from the back wing room, watching the beautiful sunset.
Jiang Dazhi didn't walk over directly, he wasn't afraid of being discovered, he just felt that Yang Yuhuan and He Xiangxue were so beautiful and moving under the sunset.
Jiang Dazhi looked at Yang Yuhuan and He Xiangxue from a distance for a long time before slowly walking over.
He Xiangxue and Yang Yuhuan were very surprised when they saw Jiang Dazhi!
"The last general, Jiang Dazhi, has seen Yang Taizhen."
"You are the Jiang Dazhi that Sister Xue often mentions to me, and when I see it today, I really show a talent."
"Thank you Mrs. Yang for the compliment."
"You talk slowly, I'll go back to the room first."
"Yang Taizhen, thank you!" He Xiangxue said to Yang Yuhuan in a very touched tone.
Jiang Dazhi hurriedly gave Yang Yuhuan a salute and watched Yang Yuhuan leave. Actually, he just wanted to take a second look at Yang Yuhuan; Because, the way she walks is so beautiful.
"Big brother, why are you here?"
"I missed you, so I came to see you."
"I heard Yang Taizhen say that you accompanied the emperor to Mount Tai to seal Zen, I thought you didn't go back to Chang'an so soon!"
"It wasn't that fast. However, something went wrong, and the eldest brother came back early. ”
"What's wrong?" He Xiangxue asked eagerly.
Jiang Dazhi didn't want to tell He Xiangxue that he was about to go to the front line to fight, so he took out the woodcarved zodiac pig he had just bought and put it in He Xiangxue's hand.
"Is it pretty?"
"Are you a pig?"
"Big brother is not a pig, but you look like a pig; So, I bought a pig for you. ”
"You're like a pig!" He Xiangxue said coquettishly.
He Xiangxue looked at the wood carved zodiac pig seriously, she felt that this pig was very cute, not ugly at all.
"Big brother, this pig is so beautiful!"
"Not as pretty as you."
"You still call me a pig!" He Xiangxue deliberately pretended to be very angry and said coquettishly.
"Sister Xue, in fact, the eldest brother is like this pig. So, big brother bought it for you. I hope that when the eldest brother is not by your side, you can take it out and look at it, as if you have seen the eldest brother! Jiang Dazhi said softly.
"Big brother, thank you!"
"I've learned to be polite with my eldest brother. Sister Xue, the eldest brother is working hard to serve the imperial court, and one day, you will return to the eldest brother's side. ”
"Big brother, I believe in you, I will always wait for you, waiting for the day when I will put on your wedding dress."
Jiang Dazhi took He Xiangxue's hand, opened his small eyes, and looked at He Xiangxue's moist eyes affectionately.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on their faces, making it seem that both of them were crimson, just like the shy expressions of the first love men and women when they looked at each other affectionately.
He Xiangxue's eyes were full of reluctance; Because, she knew that the time of parting was coming soon.
"Sister Xue, it's not too early, big brother will go back first."
"Big brother, you must pay attention to safety and take care of your body."
"Sister Xue, don't worry!"
Jiang Dazhi said goodbye to He Xiangxue, at this moment when the sun was setting.
At this time, the clouds on the horizon seemed to have solved the customs of the world, and they turned into two humanoid shapes, holding hands and looking at the blue and vast sky.
Jiang Dazhi walked out of Taizhen Temple and walked on the way back to Jiangfu.
Walking on the road, Jiang Dazhi's mind kept thinking about things; However, he wasn't thinking about the ups and downs with He Xiangxue, but thinking about how to deal with the ledger? In addition, he is about to go to the front line to fight, will Li Linfu take the opportunity to hack him in front of Tang Xuanzong?
Jiang Dazhi also thought a lot・・・・・・
However, what Jiang Dazhi never imagined was that Chang'an City was carefully planning a conspiracy against him・・・・・・
