144 New Year
When Li Shanheng talked about killing, he didn't blink his eyes, and it seemed that it was commonplace to do this kind of thing. It's just that although he is fierce, he is convinced of Li Min's appearance, and his attitude towards Li Min is very good.
When Li Shanheng asked Xiao Buyi, Li Min groaned, "Xiao Buyi's performance is obvious to all, and they all say that he is a coincidence, but I don't think so." Those who have a chance must also have the ability to take the position, Chai Shao also has a chance, but what is the result? This Xiao Buyi is a combination of chance and ability. Compared with him, Wei Jun Chai Shao is not worthy of carrying shoes. What's more, this person is very quick-witted, tactful, and has won the trust of the Holy Lord and the Empress, if we can win him over......" When Li Min said this, he sneered twice and took a sip of wine.
"Big brother is thoughtful, brother, I am ashamed of myself," Li Shanheng picked up his wine glass and said: "So I'm too lazy to think about it, many things just need to be told by the eldest brother." β
"How's that slut doing?" Li Min asked suddenly.
"She thought that the assassination of the eldest brother was mysterious, but she didn't know that the eldest brother just deliberately let Yue Ruiping turn around, and then she found out who was the mastermind behind the scenes." Li Shanheng sneered: "Now I let people keep an eye on Yue Ruiping's every move, and if the eldest brother wants to arrest him back, it is just an easy matter." Big brother, do you want me to find Yue Ruiping now and surprise that slut? β
"Yue Ruiping is not worth mentioning, but this person seems to have very hard bones?" Li Min groaned: "Even if we arrest him back, it will be difficult for him to do something." β
"Hard bones are relative." Li Shanheng sneered: "I don't believe that if he falls into my hands, his bones will be so hard." If he dares to assassinate his eldest brother for that slut, I can't wait to shave his bones out and smash them. β
Li Min's face was gloomy, and he said after a while: "Even if Yue Rui is crushed and ashes are scattered, even if the slut who is carefree is ravaged to death, what can he do?" Good balance, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Yue Ruiping must die, and the slut will go out of the jam, if she doesn't marry my son, my son will die, I think she will definitely not have a good time, I will let her life be worse than death. β
Li Shanheng nodded, "I listen to my eldest brother in everything." β
"Shanheng, if you arrest Yue Ruiping, will he testify for us to conspire with Xiao Buyi to assassinate me?" Li Min asked suddenly.
Li Shanheng was stunned for a moment, "Big brother, are you suspicious of Xiao Buyi and Yue Ruiping all the way, he deliberately let Yue Ruiping go?" β
"What is this conclusion, I think no one else knows except Xiao Buyi." Li Min said lightly: "It's just that sometimes, whether things are inconsequential or not, the key is how to look at it in the eyes of others." β
"Big brother is right." Li Shanheng nodded and said: "In front of the Xianhe Palace, according to Yang Guang's temper, if it weren't for Pei Mingcui's ghostly appearance, I think Xiao Buyi would be speechless, and it would definitely be a capital crime, but it was a pity later." β
Li Min nodded and said: "What you said is right, I thought that Yu Wenhua and this kid hated Xiao Buyi, let him fight with Xiao Buyi, and we would take advantage of the fisherman, but what I didn't expect was that Yu Wenhua and his status couldn't defeat him." Yang Guang is capricious, if he beheads Yu Wenhua in a fit of anger, it will also be a good thing, then Yu Wenshu and Pei Valve will definitely have a lot of trouble. However, Yang Guang was indecisive and indecisive, and only cut Yu Wenhua and his job, but let Xiao Buyi, a fisherman, benefit. β
"Big brother, you asked me to arrange for someone to kill him afterwards, but it's a pity that I still underestimated his kung fu." Li Shanheng sighed and said: "After Xiao Buyi came out of Pei's house, he must have been in high spirits, and that was the perfect opportunity to kill him. But this person's vigilance is really not to be underestimated, I have already sent a master, but it is still in vain, in this way, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to start again. However, it was not for nothing that he assassinated him, at least we know that he had concealed his martial arts from you when he stopped the assassin. Big brother, what do you say he is hiding his martial arts for, could it be that he is a thief? β
Li Min clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "My son is dead, I will know sooner or later who the murderer is, Dong Qifeng has always been at odds with us, and this time the thief is also procrastinating, at present, Li Xuanba and Xiao Buyi are most likely murderers!" It's just that at the moment we have to change our strategy and focus on wooing, Xiao Buyi is a very critical step for us to act, since he is chivalrous, we might as well win him over with chivalry. β
"Is that the death of my nephew?" Li Shanheng asked.
Li Min's eyes flashed with viciousness, "Of course we can't do that, but before we count, we still have to do some things, good balance, don't worry, one day, we have to get everything back with interest!" β
The north wind was fierce and the snow was cold.
Outside the Xining Gate of the Eastern Capital, the banner hunting is displayed, and the iron armor is flooded with cold. Hundreds of soldiers set off in formation, mixed with horses and porters, in addition to the additional military horses, all the transport was baggage materials, the eastern capital to Qi County thousands of miles away, this transport is definitely not a good errand.
Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, personally saw off the team, which was also grand. Pei Leng's hands and feet were a little red, and his face was impatient, but he still looked at Li Jing seriously and said: "Lord Li, this time you led the escort is really an unprecedented thing in the driving department, I heard that it was Lord Wei who took the responsibility to let you lead the escort, you don't have to live up to Lord Wei's hard work." β
Li Jing immediately clenched his fists and said, "Definitely." β
"Huh?" Pei Lin sneezed, and said in his heart that this Li Jing is still old-tempered, and it is estimated that even if he comes back from meritorious service, the credit will be someone else's. Now that the old year is going to go, and it is about to reach the end of the year, he has no envy for this errand, he only feels that Wei Wensheng is a little embarrassed by Li Jing's taste, but he doesn't know that this drudgery is also the hard work of the red whisk girl.
Wei Wensheng and Xiao Buyi were among the send-offs, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin lasted for a month, and finally found the horse equipment, I don't know whether to be happy or bitter, but the surface work still needs to be done.
"Lord Wei personally saw him off, and Shu Bao thanked the soldiers from afar for his hard work." Uncle Qin hugged his fists and said: "It's just that the soldiers are looking forward to Shubao's reinforcements arriving early, and now that Shubao has been in the capital for more than a month, I'm afraid that Lord Zhang will be too worried, so please leave early." β
Cheng Biting Jin finally made a good deal in front of the Ministry of War, and when he saw Xiao Buyi on the side, he hugged his fists and said: "Lord Xiao, for you and Lord Wei, Lao Cheng has nothing to say, Lao Cheng doesn't understand the rules, and he doesn't understand many things, but he is also convinced by the two adults." β
Wei Wensheng smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, without further ado, you should be sooner rather than later." Riding a horse to Li Jing's side, Wei Wensheng said earnestly: "Wailang, you don't have to live up to too many people's expectations on this trip. β
Li Jing was more polite to Wei Wensheng, "Remember the entrustment of the lord, Li Jing should do his best to escort the baggage to Qi County, and live up to the trust of the saint." β
Wei Wensheng nodded, and said in his heart that this Li Jing still doesn't understand human feelings, and he doesn't pat his ass, even if he has merit on this trip, I'm afraid it will be less, so I don't know if Xiao Buyi will ask for credit for this Li Jing again. Many people in the temple are quite calculating, and many things are also easy to understand, of course Wei Wensheng knows about the intricate relationship, he heard Xiao Buyi specifically talk about escorting the baggage candidate, he knew that he already had a candidate, he knew that the best friendship with Xiao Buyi was this Li Jing, so he sent Li Jing to travel this time, which can be regarded as Xiao Buyi's personal affection.
According to Wei Wensheng's point of view, Li Jing has no problem escorting baggage, everyone knows that Li Jing is the nephew of the famous Sui general Han Baohu, and he is proficient in the art of war, even when Han Baohu was alive, he said that he was the nephew who could discuss Sun Wu's art of war with him. But it's one thing for you to have talent, and it's another thing to use you without talent. If you are talented and don't know how to be a person, it is still the life of being stepped on, Li Jing is because of his upright surname, he has offended too many people, even if Huang Yanjing knows that what he said is not likable, he is rarely seen, and the rest of the people are too lazy to deal with him, when he does not exist, this escort is not more dangerous than before, but even if this kind of opportunity, if it is not for Xiao Buyi's reminder, Li Jing still can't get it!
Seeing Li Jing hesitantly looking at himself, Xiao Buyi finally came to Li Jing's side, "Second brother, the road is grinding, please be careful." β
Li Jing finally had a trace of warmth on his face, nodded and said, "Buyi, don't worry, I, Li Jing, will not lose your face as a third brother." β
"It's not important to have a face, safety first. However, I think the second brother is quite talented, and this time it should be just a small test. Xiao Buyi said with a smile, and suddenly found something, "Second brother, why aren't you with Moonlight?" β
Li Jing smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you, the moonlight has been sent to your servant's mansion, third brother, only a hero like you is worthy of the moonlight in this world, don't let it be wronged again." β
Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment before saying, "Thank you, second brother." β
"Thank you, I can't afford to raise it, if I come down with it all the way, I don't know how much wine I'll drink. Okay, I'm leaving, by the way, you have to be careful, third brother. Li Jing advised: "Many times, you have handled it very well, remember not to be proud, otherwise a mistake is likely to be lost." β
Xiao Buyi nodded, "I know, second brother, you take care all the way, I'll wait for you to see you in the east." β
Xiao Buyi said goodbye to Li Jing, feeling a little lost in his heart, his relationship with Li Jing seemed to be as plain as water, but it was imprinted in his heart. The people he made friends in the Eastern Capital, the most disinterested was Li Jing, and only when he saw Li Jing did he know that this Eastern Capital was not a big dye vat, and all the people who went in changed their costumes.
He knew that although the Central Plains was full of smoke, Li Jing would definitely be in danger this time, this is history, and people who want to change sometimes don't know that they still follow history.
Turning back from Xining Gate, he could have gone straight back to the Taifu Mansion, but when he saw the festive lights on the road, he suddenly realized that in a few days, the New Year would be celebrated.
He wants to live the first New Year before this thousand years, and he can live a few more years, he doesn't know. Seeing the faces full of joy and full of desire for the New Year, Xiao Buyi knew that all the people were looking forward to was peace and security.
Seeing a child playing on the street, Xiao Buyi suddenly remembered his little brother, he was still a child, but he could only struggle in hardships, Xiao Buyi thought of this, no longer hesitated, rode his horse straight to Cihuifang, and remembered where Master Zhao lived, and when he didn't get to the door, he found a familiar figure.
The man heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned around, he was a little surprised, and almost threw the medicine box in his hand to the ground, "Lord Xiao, is that you?" β
That person is about forty, not bad, with a surprised look, he looks dignified, and he is the doctor who Xiao Buyi invited last time.
"The Divine Doctor You is also here," Xiao Buyi jumped off the horse with a smile, and guessed at the Divine Doctor You: "Could it be that Master Zhao's family is sick, so he invited the Divine Doctor to come to the clinic?" β
Doctor You Shen blushed slightly, "Master Hui, it's not like this, I'm going to Master Zhao's house to visit my younger brother this time." β
"Oh?" Xiao Buyi was really unexpected this time, and said urgently: "The little brother is not well yet?" β
Doctor You shuddered, "Okay, I'll go and have a look, it's safer." β
Xiao Buyi was very surprised, almost thinking that the sun had come out of the west, because judging by him, this wandering doctor definitely didn't look like the type to wake up. But people do good deeds, Xiao Buyi can't be sneering, and praised, "The magic of the doctor is benevolent, and it is really the blessing of the people." β
Doctor Youshen's face was as red as the warm sun in winter, "Lord Xiao has won the award, and Sun Qinwei has already instructed that he must take care of his little brother's illness." Me, I'm a last resort, right? β
Speaking of this, the doctor was a little self-deprecating, but Xiao Buyi admired Sun Qinwei's thoughtfulness, and secretly said that if this guy is a housekeeper, it is definitely comprehensive, and Lieutenant General Dong said to himself that if he solves the problem for worry-free, there are at least a dozen people in Wuhou Mansion who can be ordered by him, these people are not bad, and if they can be brought over, it will also be very useful.
Xiao Buyi's kung fu and the You Shen Doctor had already arrived at Zhao's house, and when the next person saw the You Shen Doctor, he didn't bother to ask, but pointed to the firewood room, "Here you are." β
The surroundings of the firewood room are quite tidy, presumably the relatives of Master Zhao who dare not snub the Praetorian Guards too much. Xiao Buyi was a little hesitant, not knowing if his invitation would disturb their ordinary life.
Doctor You nodded, and Xiao Buyi went to the firewood room lightly, and knocked on the door, "Miss Wan'er, is it convenient to come in?" β
The firewood room 'creaked', Wan'er opened the door, and said with some joy: "Doctor Youshen, please come in." Suddenly found that behind Doctor You was the figure haunting in a dream, Wan'er thought she was dreaming, and froze, "Brother Xiao, Xiao Gongzi, is it you?" β
Xiao Buyi didn't wait for an answer, but he heard the little brother in the firewood room say loudly: "The big brother is here?" Immediately after shouting, a weak figure rushed over, Xiao Buyi hugged it, held it high three times, and couldn't help but be relieved to see that the little brother's face was ruddy, and he was not the weak he was at the beginning.
"Little brother, come down quickly, Xiao Gongzi ......"
"Sister, you always call Brother Xiao when you're fine, why did Big Brother become a son when he came?" The little brother asked playfully.
Wan'er blushed a little and scolded, "It's not big or small." β
Xiao Buyi smiled and put down the little brother, but the little brother pounced on the body of the divine doctor again, "Divine doctor, let's see how my illness is today?" β
I thought that Doctor You Shen would be a little disgusted, but I didn't expect that he would also learn from Xiao Buyi to pick up his little brother, and said with a smile: "Little brother has been getting better recently, and I finally live up to my mission." β
"The Wandering Divine Doctor is the best divine doctor in the world." The younger brother winked mischievously at his sister, "In addition to making shoes for the eldest brother, my sister also made two pairs of shoes for Doctor Youshen, I'll go get them for Doctor Youshen." He quickly took two pairs of shoes, handed them to Doctor Youshen, and said loudly: "Doctor Youshen, this is the New Year's gift that my sister prepared for you, I hope you don't dislike it." My sister said that the kindness of the divine doctor to us is difficult for us to repay in our lives. β
The corners of Doctor Youshen's mouth twitched, slowly took the two pairs of shoes, sat on the chair and gestured, and said softly: "It fits perfectly, thank you." β
His face was originally indifferent, but at this moment, he was moved by the enthusiasm of his younger brother, and a rare tenderness appeared.
The little brother shook his head like an adult and said, "Thank you, the courtesy is still exchanged." Big brother, sister also you prepared shoes, what New Year's gift did you prepare for me? β
"Little brother, don't be so big and not small." Wan'er smiled and reprimanded.
Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "I came here today to actually take you to the place where I live, and it is not a long-term plan to always disturb Master Zhao." β
"Then bothering the big brother is a long-term solution?" The younger brother was happy, "Big brother, is the house you live in bigger than here?" Is it warm or not? How long can we stay? β
Xiao Buyi patted his little brother's head and said: "The place to live is not big, the two of us are huddled together, if you pick up more leftover charcoal, not only can you be warm, but you can also live for a long time." β
Wan'er wanted to laugh, but the little brother didn't know that Xiao Buyi was joking, so she tilted her head and asked, "That's not good." β
"Oh?" Xiao Buyi was surprised: "Why not? β
"I'm used to sharing a room with my sister," the younger brother said seriously, "I can squeeze into a room with you, but my sister also needs to live with us." β
Wan'er's face was the same as the red cloth, and the words of reprimand were unspeakable, Xiao Buyi was stunned, and when the doctor saw Xiao Buyi's embarrassment, he smiled and said: "Little brother, I don't have a place to sleep, I ......"
"That's easy." The younger brother said innocently: "After my sister and I leave, you can sleep in the firewood room here, it is very warm and comfortable here, you Shen Doctor, we will come back to see you often." β
The Wandering Doctor almost spurted blood.
Although Wan'er knew that since Xiao Buyi let her sister and brother go over, most of them had a spacious place. If it was a stranger's invitation, she would not have gotten to death, but Xiao Buyi opened her mouth, although she was shy in her heart, she did not refuse. But Wan'er didn't know that Xiao Buyi lived in such a luxurious place.
When the younger brother was in front of the Taifu Mansion, his eyes were full of disbelief. When he entered the Taifu Mansion, the younger brother couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what are you doing here?" β
"What do you do?" Xiao Buyi was puzzled.
"I mean, you're a butler here? Or a gardener, or a horse breeder? The younger brother speculated using what he knew.
"What do you think I do?" Xiao Buyi asked curiously.
"I think you, you might, probably the butler." The younger brother said enviously: "The eldest brother is majestic every time, and when I see the housekeeper of Master Zhao's house, he is the same as the eldest brother." It's just that it's an old man, and the eldest brother can become a housekeeper at a young age, and he must be more capable than him. β
The younger brother is a big ghost, and what he said is somewhat flattering, but his knowledge is very limited, so he naturally can't believe that such a mansion will be where Xiao Buyi lives alone.
"I'm not a butler," Xiao Buyi said, "I'm just a groom." β
The younger brother was a little disappointed, "Horseman?" Are we going to live in the stables? Seeing his sister's reproachful eyes, the younger brother changed his words and said: "Big brother, it's not bad to be a groom, I think this place is very big, even if it is a stable, it will definitely be bigger than the firewood house there, and it is much more comfortable." β
Xiao Buyi let his little brother chirp like a bird, and at this moment in his heart, there was less trouble with disputes.
"Actually, there are benefits to living in a stable." The little brother rolled his eyes, clapped his hands and smiled.
"What's the benefit?" Xiao Buyi felt that this kid was full of strange thoughts.
"It's cold in winter, so you can sleep with your pony in your arms in the stable, and it's much warmer." The younger brother showed a yearning look, "When I was sleeping in the grass house, I was thinking, I must raise a pony when I grow up, so that in winter, it will not be too difficult, big brother, do you think my wish can be realized?" β
He said naΓ―vely, and what he said was a little longing, Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "It should be possible, if you really want to sleep with a horse in your arms, I can give you one." β
"You're a groom, you can't talk about it." The little brother was very excited.
Xiao Buyi didn't understand that there was no necessary connection between the groom and the speech, but when he saw a few maids standing in the main hall of the Taifu Mansion, he was a little stunned.
"Big brother, shall we take a detour?" When the younger brother saw the majesty in the mansion, he didn't dare to go to the main hall, and he was a little timid.
Xiao Buyi walked straight over, and the maidservant said, "Hello Master Xiao." β
"How did you get here?" Xiao Buyi was puzzled, thinking that Fat Huai couldn't help but be lonely and went out to buy a maidservant? Squinting at the person in the hall, Xiao Buyi said abruptly, "When did Brother Yuan arrive?" β
Yuan Lan laughed, her eyes inadvertently shifted slightly from Wan'er, slightly surprised, "Buyi, I made a good proposition this time, please don't be surprised." Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at the maidservant, Yuan Lan explained: "I came to visit today, but it just so happens that you are not here, I think this big servant mansion is really a little shabby, and it does not match your identity." Buyi, I'm not a luxury, but a rule, you know, after all, you are now a servant Shaoqing, if you come to visit in the future, you will personally serve tea and water, what kind of system? These girls are all from the Yuan family, I just think that many things need you to deal with too much, but there are some things that only let the next person do. β
"Brother Yuan is polite, if this kind of kindness is to be blamed, then I would rather be surprised a few more times." Xiao Buyi remembered that Sun Shaofang was good as a housekeeper, and now he felt that Yuan Lan's people were extremely sophisticated, and he was in the Eastern Capital, but he really lacked such a helper.
"By the way, Brother Yuan, you're the only one, what about Fat Huai?" Xiao Buyi asked, but took the two sisters and brothers to the hall and sat down. Now there is only Fat Huai in the Eastern Capital, Yang Dezhi, like the Red Whisk Girl, is also a person who is not old, and after discussing the backdoor plan with Xiao Buyi, he took some dishes and went down to Jiangnan. Bei Pei is like a wandering god, Xiao Buyi never expected her to come out to pick up guests, but Fat Huai is a housekeeper here, and it is very strange that she has not appeared now.
Wan'er and her younger brother sat down cramped, looking at the clean ground that was cleaner than the rice bowls they used, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.
"Xiao Gongzi, let's ......" Wan'er wanted to say something, and wanted to stand up, but it happened that a maid came over with tea, and when she touched it, there was a 'pop' sound, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. Wan'er was startled, her face was flushed, and she just said to the maidservant repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." β
Yuan Lan laughed, "Who is this girl?" β
Xiao Buyi roughly talked about the experience of the two sisters and brothers, Yuan Lan had appreciation in his eyes, and ordered his subordinates to quickly clean up the teacups, and comforted Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, it's okay, it's just the fault of the subordinates." Buyi, Fat Huai is arranging the servant's mansion in the back garden, and I asked a few subordinates to go with him. By the way, in a few days it will be the New Year, and the merchants who have left the city will gather with you, and I don't think it's a bad thing to keep in touch with these people. β
Xiao Buyi nodded, "What Brother Yuan said is very true, I don't know when, I don't know if I was free at that time." "He's not putting on a show, in fact, since he became Shaoqing, except for doing a serious thing, that is, transferring horses to Zhang Xutuo, most of the time has been socializing.
"If you are troublesome, go to me, if you like to be lively, let them come to your servant's mansion," Yuan Lan's sentence from your servant's mansion made the younger brother stunned, "This gentleman, isn't the eldest brother a groom?" Could this place be his? β
"Of course it's his, or whose is it?" This time it was Yuan Lan's turn to be strange.
Xiao Buyi stood up, took his little brother's hand and said, "Come, little brother, I'll go and choose a comfortable stable for you." β
"So you lied to me?" The younger brother suddenly realized, but he was only happy.
Wan'er sneered, the gloom was gone, Yuan Lan was also infected by the joy of the two, and looked at the three of them with a smile, only to feel that she was also much younger. Xiao Buyi was thinking, Li Jing should be fine, but there are many bandits on the road, I hope he can turn around smoothly, the New Year, the cottage side, it should be better, suddenly I feel that for the relatives of the cottage, he is busy forgetting to miss, but when he is idle, he feels warm and warm, and a faint longing lingers in his heart, and it is difficult to contain .......
