Chapter 603: Xuanwu doesn't kill

Li Xian stopped in the open space of the camp, and suddenly thought of a question in his heart. Back then, he was left at the door of Wuyan Nunnery, and was picked up by the old nun who happened to need a child. Twenty years later, there is today's Yan King. If it was me who died, and the other child was abandoned at the door of the Wuyan Nunnery, wouldn't it be the same experience?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, this kind of thing is really boring to think about.

"It is said that you used to be the first-class beauty in the world, and Li Yuan once said that Zhang Lihua, the beauty of Chen Shubao, the lord of Nan Chen, is not as good as you. Li Yuan is so infatuated with you that he didn't hesitate to fall out with the Dou family and wanted to accept you as a flat wife instead of a concubine, but it's a pity that you are just a person from a poor family, how can you beat those people from big families? Lao Zhen just said that when the Dou family bought you into the Tang Mansion, you were still a little girl who was not in time, withered and thin, who would have thought that in a few years, you would become a peerless beauty with the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose. ”

Li Xian subconsciously touched his face, and then smiled: "It should be really beautiful when I think about it." ”

Sitting down in the open place, Li Xian subconsciously touched his waist, but found that he didn't bring wine, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. Sometimes I really want to drink, not because the wine can paralyze the nerves, but the spicy feeling at the moment when the wine enters the throat can make people feel happy, although the pleasure is short-lived, and it is only a moment to relieve the worries and worries, but what people are best at is to deceive themselves, and wine is the best means to deceive themselves, there is no one.

Looking at the brightly lit camp not far away, Li Xian smiled and said to himself, "That guy will never be short of wine." ”

He got up and walked over there, and the patrol soldiers he met along the way saluted one after another, and Li Xian nodded to everyone, not at all that his current mood was actually terrible. After entering the baggage camp, Li Xian walked straight to Wang Qinian's tent, and the soldiers guarding outside the door were startled when they saw that the person who came was His Royal Highness King Yan, and hurriedly saluted and was about to inform Wang Qinian, but was stopped by Li Xian.

He lifted the curtain and walked in, there was an oil lamp lit in the tent but it was very dim, Li Xian stood for a while to get used to the light in the tent, and then he was amused by the scene in front of him. The tent was so clean and tidy that people thought they had gone to the wrong door, and it was even more refreshing than the women's boudoir.

It's just that the smell of stinky feet is really annoying, and it smells like a mixed aroma of flower water sprayed on stinky tofu.

Li Xian didn't wake up Wang Qinian by lying on the felt carpet with the big character lying on the blanket, walked over and turned on the oil lamp, found a pot of wine and sat down on the chair, looking at Wang Qinian's sleeping appearance like a dead pig, he couldn't help but feel a little envious. thought that since he fled with Zhang Zhongjian until now, he has not slept as peacefully as Wang Qinian for a day. Now even if he is in the midst of the army, Li Xian has never been at ease.

Pulling a felt blanket over Wang Qinian's feet, Li Xian smiled and said: "No wonder I have been a bachelor for half my life, this taste is not something that ordinary women can bear." ”

He spoke in a very soft voice, perhaps it was because he covered Wang Qinian's feet and alarmed him. This thin guy actually turned over and sat up, grabbed the horizontal knife beside him at a speed that even Li Xian was amazed and asked, "Where is the lonely soul and wild ghost!" ”

Li Xian snorted and laughed and said, "How many bad things have you done in your life, but you are afraid of ghosts and become this point?" And then there's ...... You've got your knife down. ”

Wang Qinian heard that it was Li Xian's voice, and threw the horizontal knife aside in a little panic, so he knelt down on the felt carpet and made a big salute, and said in a panicked tone: "Why didn't the lord say anything in advance when he arrived at this humble place, the minister is dirty here, you must know that the lord wants to come to the minister, how can he clean it up." ”

Maybe he was in a daze, and Wang Qinian spoke a little incoherently.

"Your tent is clean, if you can clean up your stinky feet, I don't mind telling you a yellow flower girl to be a mother-in-law."

"Don't, don't...... The ministers are so old, don't harm the yellow flower girl. On the day when the great cause of the lord was completed, the minister told the old man to return to his hometown and find a widow to marry. ”

Li Xian was shocked: "With your body and bones, don't care which widow doesn't toss you to death?" A widow of more than three years can ravage you so much that you don't even have the strength to walk. ”

Wang Qinian's rare face turned red and said, "This ...... This one...... If you can leave one for my old Wang family, it will be done. ”

"Have you ever thought about returning home?"

Li Xian suddenly asked.

"Yes!"

Wang Qinian hesitated for a while and nodded, "In the countryside, it is estimated that there has been no official in three or five hundred years, and a few years ago, the son of the old Sun family in the village took the imperial examination, although his name fell to Sun Mountain, but he still boasted about it for so many years?" The minister is also a four-rank general now...... There has never been one within a radius of two hundred miles from my hometown. ”

"I drank a jug of wine from you today."

Li Xian smiled and said, "Take a townsman to exchange it with you, okay?" ”

Wang Qinian was shocked, and then his eyes turned red: "Thank you for the great grace of the lord!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, Ming'er will pick a few capable people early in the morning, and ask Xie Yingdeng to find you a few more good ones, and find a way to enter Chang'an."

Li Xian patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you come back alive, Gu will give you a county marquis." ”

"If the minister doesn't go, can you exchange that pot of wine for a countryman?"

"If you don't go, pull it out and play...... Bounce to death! Lonely will give you a bullet! ”

……

……

In the city of Chang'an, there is no Yan Nunnery.

The gate of this Yanyan Nunnery has been closed, and the seal with the words "Tang Chang'an Mansion" has not been removed. It's just that there is a faint dim light in the two fairly intact houses in the backyard, and the house is quite clean. A layer of dog skin mattress was spread on the earthen kang, and next to it was a thin quilt. Next to the kang is an old wooden table with many scriptures stacked on it. A green lamp accompanied the ancient Buddha, and the nun under the lamp looked at the bean-sized fire and was stunned.

Wearing a monk's robe with patches, the wide robe and large sleeves could not hide her graceful figure. On the table, next to the scriptures, there was a bowl of frozen gruel, on which a thin layer of ice was formed, reflecting the light of the candle flame. After so many years, her appearance is still attractive, but a little less heroic and a little more indifferent.

Although she hadn't been out of Wuyan Nunnery for many days, she knew about Li Jing's death. After Li Huining told Li Xian that Zhang Wancheng was in Chang'an City, a large number of secret agents from the Military Inspectorate entered Chang'an. It was only two days slower than Li Jingmo's return to Chang'an, but fortunately, Li Jing sent Mo Li out to inquire about the news in those two days, and after Li Jing escaped from Chang'an, Mo Li did not go to Wuyan Nunnery at all. But Li Jiancheng knew that she was here, and Mo Li would never forget such a big event.

Li Jing's death, the spy came and told Zhang Wancheng.

"I can't think of anything that I can't put down when I enter this nunnery, and I still have to die to let go of it after all."

Zhang Wancheng subconsciously raised her hand and touched her bald head, and said to herself with a wry smile on her face: "I shaved these three thousand troubles, but there is no trace of troubles." I thought that I would secretly go back one day to see that little rabbit cub and Xiao Di got married, so I cut myself off, so that I could forget you. But who would have thought you'd be one step ahead of me? ”

Zhang Wancheng rubbed the corners of her sour eyebrows and whispered to herself: "After so many years, I still rarely cry." It's okay if you're dead...... Otherwise, I will kill you before I kill myself. The little idle man didn't kill you because of me, but I was already planning to die, how could I leave you to fight against the little idle man? Those more than 100 lives on Yanshan have been crushing me for eight years, and I have to take you down to say sorry to my brothers. ”

"Why did you die?"

"If you're dead, you're dead...... It's good. ”

She glanced at the soft whip that was thrown on the side of the kang not far away, as well as short knives, dart bags, wrist crossbows, horizontal knives, and long swords, all of which were still there.

"I'll kill Li Shimin and avenge you."

When she said this, she used a deliberative tone, as if Li Jing was sitting on the other chair in the dim candlelight.

"I killed Li Shimin, helped you avenge, and also did the little idle a big favor, if it was a fluke, I would be a congratulatory gift for the little idle man, but Xiao Di should not like this bloody thing."

At this moment, there was a faint noise outside the room. Zhang Wancheng instantly got up and grabbed the soft whip in his hand, grabbed the dart bag with the other hand and asked, "Who!" ”

There was silence outside for a while, and then someone sighed and said, "On the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please go to the East Palace." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, how can you be a close relative of His Royal Highness King Yan to live in such a dirty and humble place? If King Yan asked, wouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lose his hospitality? Please lay down your weapons, there are one hundred and twenty archers around this courtyard. No matter how long your whip is, it's useless, besides...... I have no ill intentions. ”

The door was gently pushed open, and a fat outrageous guy wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's really hard to climb the wall after I haven't done it for many years." ”

……

……

The newly built East Palace is next to the imperial city and becomes a city of its own. Not far from the East Palace is the Yong'an Palace under construction, and the craftsmen rushed back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, because they had to rush the construction period, and they were still in full swing at night. The crown prince Li Jiancheng stood on the wall of the East Palace, looking at the lights of the Yong'an Palace construction site on the side of Longshou Plateau that illuminated half of the night sky.

Standing beside him was a woman, dressed in a bright red shirt, which stood out even in the night. Although this woman is not extremely beautiful, her eyebrows are a little ordinary, but her facial features look very delicate together, and she suddenly looks at it, and the more she looks at it, the more she feels that it has a taste.

And about three meters behind this woman, Heishi, who was dressed in black and covered his mouth and nose with a black scarf, stood respectfully. Secretly raised his head and glanced at the backs of the two people in front of him, and when his eyes stayed on the crown prince Li Jiancheng, his eyes were full of awe. And when he stayed on that graceful back, he was full of fear.

"Suzaku, you say...... Should I suggest that my father stop the construction of Yong'an Palace first? If it is suggested that the father stop the construction of Yong'an Palace, the father must be angry. But if I say that the saved money will be used for disaster relief and the expedition of the army to Dou Jiande, my father will definitely praise me again. ”

Li Jiancheng asked, as if talking to himself.

The woman in red didn't answer, but looked in the other direction and said, "The martial arts of the red whisk are said to be very good. ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned, and then said with annoyance: "I won't let you go just because her martial arts are good, I want an intact red whisk instead of half a dead person." If you go, what will I exchange with Li Xian in the future? ”

"yes...... Xuanwu does not kill...... Because he was too timid, he fainted at the sight of blood. ”

The woman in red whispered, her tone full of contempt and dissatisfaction.

At this time, a fat man muttered annoyed while climbing the city wall: "The city wall is built so high, it will kill me...... Wouldn't it make me tired and thin by walking back and forth a few more times? ”

Thinking that the man in the bun shop had no way to do anything about himself, the fat man couldn't help but be happy again, thinking in his heart, Wu slut, Wu slut, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's kindness and mercy to let you go, wouldn't it be very cool to arrest you in the water prison tonight? It's a pity, it's a pity...... Such a good opportunity to announce personal vendettas, I actually relented and let you go.
