Chapter 40: The Mysterious Young Woman
It was noon, the snow suddenly became heavier, the slanting wind carried the blizzard on people's faces and bodies, more than a dozen steps away can not see the road clearly, a tea shed outside the Mingde Gate is crowded with people who avoid the snow and eat, Li Qingan and his party also found a few empty tables to eat, waiting for the snow to become smaller and then continue to move forward, but the snow is getting bigger and bigger, and it does not weaken at all.
At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and gradually a carriage appeared in the snow, and a dozen or so attendants escorted both sides, speeding towards this side, and the carriage stopped in front of the tea shed.
A middle-aged entourage ran to the carriage and said respectfully: "Madam, there is Chang'an ahead, let's get down and rest first!" ”
"Okay, Grandpa Shang, you've worked hard all the way, let's eat something together!"
The woman's voice was pleasant, and it was clear that she was very young.
The door opened, and two women got out of the car, one in front was a maid, and all eyes were on a young woman in the back, she was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a bright blue long skirt, with red silk draped over her shoulders, and her clothes fit very well, showing her slender figure and full breasts vividly.
Her black hair was towering, wavy and drooping at the back of her head, forming a fluctuating black cloud above her neck, this woman was very beautiful, but what impressed people was not her pretty, but her light sweep of moth eyebrows, without a trace of powder, which made people feel a sense of clarity and beauty.
"She's supposed to be royal."
Duan Xiushi whispered to Li Qing'an: "Did you see it, the middle-aged attendant next to her is a eunuch." ”
Li Qing'an nodded, he had heard it just now, the woman called the middle-aged retinue Shang's father-in-law, and her accent seemed to be different from others, but it was very similar to Qian Mian in the original fort, Qian Mian's hometown was from Chengdu, Yizhou.
The tea shed was full of people, only Li Qingan and they still had a few vacant seats here, and ordinary people didn't dare to share a table with them.
The young woman frowned, swept around, and finally her eyes fell on Li Qing'an's table, and she walked over quickly.
"This general, can I sit next to you?" The young woman Yingying gave Li Qingan a salute with a bright smile.
Li Qingan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Madam, please take a seat!" ”
He was a little interested in this woman, and the other women hid away when they saw them, but this woman was not afraid of them at all, and she was so beautiful that people couldn't help but have a good impression of her.
The young woman sat down, she turned around and said a few words to the middle-aged eunuch, and the middle-aged eunuch immediately went into the room to buy food. ”
The younger brother next to him, Lifei Shouyu, immediately lowered his face and reprimanded: "Boss, don't be rude!" ”
The young woman raised her eyebrows and said with a charming smile: "The famous flower of the slave family, where did the military masters come from?" ”
Li Fei Yuanli grinned and said, "We are the Anxi Army, coming from Lianyunbao. ”
The young woman covered her mouth and snickered, "No wonder you are in rags, not like ordinary soldiers, it turns out that you are from Anxi." ”
Although Li Fei Yuanli tried her best to please her, she seemed to be more interested in Li Qing'an, this young man had a unique charm that attracted her, unlike all the men she had ever seen, especially the long scar on his forehead, which added a kind of masculine man's charm.
"This general, I have already said my name, but you don't tell me anything, it seems a bit ......"
"Madam, let me introduce you, this kid's name is Li Qilang, don't look at him like he looks like a little white face, he doesn't understand the amorous at all, the charming and flower-like princess of Tubo was actually killed by him with an arrow, far less than my Lao Li knows how to love women."
"You're pretty cute with a big beard!"
The young woman laughed, but leaned her delicate body to Li Qing'an's side, and asked curiously: "General Li, is the Tubo princess who was shot to death by you really beautiful?" ”
Li Qingan smiled and shook his head, "It's just an ordinary Tibetan woman, not a princess, and I didn't shoot her, it was she who fell off the cliff by herself." ”
"You ...... nonsense"
Before Li Fei Yuanli finished speaking, he was punched hard by Li Fei Shouyu, and he saw that everyone was glaring at him, so he suddenly remembered that Gao Shuai strictly forbade leaking this matter, he couldn't help but feel weak for a while, scratched his scalp and said with a dry smile: "It's okay, it's just an ordinary little woman, what's the fear?" ”
At this time, Li Qingan stood up, hugged his fist slightly to the young woman and smiled: "Madam, please eat slowly, we will go first." ”
He waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Everyone walked out of the tea shed with him, turned over their horses one after another, and braved the wind and snow to go to Chang'an City.
The young woman looked at his back, her eyes full of interest, "An arrow shot the princess of Tubo who was like a flower and jade, this Li Qilang is a little interesting." She whispered to herself.
........
Chang'an covers a vast area, divided into the palace city, the imperial city and the outer Guo city, the palace city is located in the north center of the whole city, is the residence of the emperor, the imperial city is in the south of the palace city, is the administrative center of the Tang Dynasty, the outer Guo city is to the palace city, the imperial city as the center, to the east and west of the south three sides, with the Zhuque Street as the central axis, divided into two cities one hundred and eight squares, respectively by the Chang'an County and Wannian County jurisdiction, the whole Chang'an city inhabited by millions of Chang'an people and hundreds of thousands of people from Tiannan and Haibei.
Entering the Mingde Gate, directly opposite is the Vermilion Bird Street, the Vermilion Bird Street is about 100 steps wide, about 70 carriages can be lined up side by side, the snow has been much smaller, there are not many pedestrians on the Vermilion Bird Street, the street is even more empty, the straight street has been extended for more than ten miles, and the end is the Imperial City Gate Suzaku Gate.
Both sides of Suzaku Street are planted with tall trees, the canopy is like an umbrella, covered in silver, and next to the big tree is a tall and thick wall, and eighteen neighborhoods are neatly arranged on both sides of Suzaku Street like a chessboard, with white walls and yellow tiles, and there is no end in sight, which is particularly magnificent.
The pedestrians on the street are sparse, with oil-paper umbrellas, most of the men are dressed in robes, all of them are tall and fat, full of energy, and the women are extraordinarily graceful in the snow, wearing embroidered robins and shirts, and a pomegranate flower dyed dance skirt is tied below, the colors are gorgeous, red, purple, yellow, and green compete for beauty, among which red is the most, 'Meidai wins the daylily color, and the red skirt is jealous of the pomegranate flower'.
Everyone walked along Suzaku Street all the way, and soon came to Chongrenfang located in Chunming Street, where there are concentrated Jinjuan Courtyards from all over the country, mainly for local officials to enter Beijing for food and lodging, Anxi Duhufu also has a Jinjuan Yuan in Chongrenfang, covering an area of quite large, with more than 100 guest rooms, which are taken care of by a low-level petty official of Anxi.
The officials of the concert hall had already received the news and arranged everything in order, and as soon as they entered the door, they greeted them warmly.
"Generals, after a hard journey, I have prepared hot water and clean bedding for you, take a comfortable bath first, and then sleep well, to ensure that you all recover immediately."
"Luo joins the army, is there a polo field around here?" Duan Xiushi asked with a smile.
"Yes! There are two in Chongrenfang, and they are crowded with people practicing every day, but you are a little late, Fan Yangjun's polo team arrived three months ago. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Shenjun looked at both sides and said in a low voice: "I heard that they made An Lushan personally lead the team to participate in the competition, claiming that they must take away the championship this time. ”
"Humph! They dream! Bai Yuanguang snorted.
"Yuanguang, don't be underestimated, last time they had the strength to win the championship, but in the end it was obviously given to the Yulin Army Polo Team, we lost under them, and our strength was also weak."
"We have one more Li Qilang this year, and it's uncertain who will kill the deer!"
Everyone was gossiping, and Li Qingan had other official business, so he quietly said to Duan Xiushi: "Chenggong, Gao Shuai has something to tell me to do, I want to do it first." ”
"There you go! Be careful on the road. ”
Li Qing'an quietly left the Jinjuan Academy, and took Han Jinping and another brother to Pingkangfang, where they stopped in front of a large mansion that covered an area of land, which was the house of Li Linfu, the right minister of the Tang Dynasty.
