Datang Demon Sealing Record: True Demon Tribulation

018, Li Bai wears boots

Not far ahead, the sword gate is closed, Gao Lishi's legs are cold and damp, swollen severely, the mountain road is cramped and he can't sit in a sedan car, he rides a horse all the way, and his swollen feet can't even penetrate the stirrups, so it's hanging, it's really painful.

Gao Lishi beckoned the little eunuch who was leading the horse to stop, found a place where the sun was warm and warm, lit a fire, asked the little eunuch to help, and took off his boots and baked the fire with great effort.

Gao Lishi looked back in the direction of Chang'an, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was bitter in his heart, not for himself, but for his Emperor Xuanzong.

A few days ago, Li Fuguo fabricated charges and exiled him to Qianzhongdao.

Hehe, he thought that the ugly ghost would give him death directly, but come to think of it, exile is sometimes more cruel than killing the head.

He thought of Guo Hua and Dugu Huan again, they were ordered to rush to the Western Regions to recover the batch of gold, I don't know if the road is smooth, the west to the yellow sand thousands of miles, the post road is broken for a long time, it is even more difficult to think than himself.

is old, and the future of Datang still depends on those young people.

Although he is an exiled sinner, after all, he has accompanied the king for most of his life, and the nobility in his aura is indelible, and even the few young men who followed and served behind him were all horses and fresh clothes.

People who are very rich and noble, walking between barren mountains and dangerous mountains, are very abrupt.

Gao Lishi had no relatives and no reason, and the crown prince Li Yu arranged for him to bring a few little eunuchs with him, so that he could take care of him.

Li Yu wanted to fight hard to save Gaolishi from exile, but Gaolishi refused.

Now Li Fuguo's power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, even in Emperor Suzong, since Taizong, through Empress Zetian, and then to Emperor Xuanzong, Li Tang Dynasty has had too many bad examples in the abolition of the crown prince.

Gao Lishi knew this very well in his heart, and Emperor Xuanzong regarded Li Yu as the hope of Li Tang in the future, how could he bear Li Yu to take risks for himself.

"The prince still has to be cautious and protect himself, he doesn't have to force his head for the sake of the old minister, so as not to provoke bad luck, and the old minister is already grateful to have these descendants on the road to take care of him. ”

Gao Lishi rejected the prince's kindness, which for him, this was the last contribution he could make for the Tang Dynasty and the old emperor.

Power, it's a wonderful thing.

Sometimes it's just a few words written on a piece of paper, but it manipulates the lives and deaths of many people.

While the little eunuch was roasting the fire with his legs to make himself comfortable, he was thinking about the past of his life and the situation in front of him.

He was determined to die.

I have seen too many people in this life, who have been given death and exile, but in fact, there is no difference between exile and death.

And their whereabouts have long been noticed by a gang of bandits.

The bandits on the Bashu Mountain Road are also very experienced, and every year there will be several dignitaries and dignitaries who are sent into exile because their crimes are exposed or they have offended someone.

Although these people are not more generous than those officials who go to work in local places, they are safe, there is no risk, and they kill people and goods, even if they are killed, the court will not investigate them deeply.

The first three are all broad-shouldered and round-waisted men, these thieves don't need any wisdom, whoever is strong, ruthless enough, and can suppress people can be the boss.

Behind him were more than a dozen young men, some with swords, and some with hunting forks.

Although they are a group of grass robbers, they still have a very obvious advantage in terms of numbers and physical strength.

The three bandit leaders hid in the bushes, assessed the strength of the other party, and waited for Gao Lishi to bake the fire and leisurely forget his kung fu, and roared to lead the crowd to kill.

Of course, Gao Lishi was unwilling to die under the knife of a few grass coars, but he suffered from cold and dampness, and it was difficult to perform his kung fu, so he had to rely on a few little eunuchs to fight with the grass coars.

These little eunuchs were reminded by Gao Lishi, learned kung fu, and practiced in private, but they had no actual combat experience, let alone killed anyone.

People who have never killed anyone will suffer a lot in the battle of life and death, and if they don't have murderous intent, they can't be ruthless and can't do it.

The valley was empty, and the sound of fighting spread far and wide, reverberating back and forth between the empty valleys.

The shouts of a desperate struggle reached the ears of an old man riding a thin horse on the mountain road.

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, with gray hair, a sword hanging from his waist, and a spear hanging from the saddle of a rugged and thin horse.

The sound of blade collision and shouting of killing aroused the old man's long-dormant blood and chivalrous heart.

I think that back then, he was young, and he was also riding a horse, with a sword hanging from his waist, from Broken Leaf City to Middle-earth, to Shuzhong to travel.

It's just that the horse is a high-grade BMW in the Western Regions, and the sword is also the Longquan sword handed down by the ancestors.

At that time, he defeated more than 40 rangers with the strength of one person.

The old man drove his horse quickly, and soon he saw the people fighting in the col ahead.

Who is a thief and who is a passerby, you can know at a glance.

He hurriedly dismounted and tied himself to a tree by the side of the road.

Although Ma was thin and weak, he also wrote a hymn for a rich and noble family without leaving his face, and he barely got it. There is no room for error.

The old man drew his sword coldly, stepped on the wind under his feet, and rushed into the formation with a few jumps.

This old man claimed to be the descendant of Li Guang, the general of the Great Han Fei, and the sword moves he made were also the 36 ways of breaking the army swordsmanship handed down by his ancestors, which was specially summarized and founded by Li Guang when he fought and killed the enemy in the army.

This sword path is fierce and fierce, and the move is very important, and in less than a dozen rounds, the thief has been killed more than half.

The old man with a thin horse blindly fights, and he doesn't care about seeing who the passers-by are.

Gao Lishi, who was roasting the fire on the side, saw it clearly, recognized the person, smiled and secretly said "wrongdoer", and kept shaking his head.

This thin old man is not an outsider, it is the immortal poet Li Taibai.

For bandits, "people die for money" is a joke, and saving life always comes first.

The bandits left behind the bodies of their companions and their wounded companions, scattered in a hurry, and fled along the rugged mountain road.

Li Bai held his long sword and drove the injured bandits away, until he saw them run away, and then he turned around to see the old man who seemed to be injured and couldn't stand up.

The little eunuchs didn't know Li Bai, so they stood up and walked in front of Li Bai to "thank the old man" and make a righteous move.

Li Bai still didn't recognize Gao Lishi, hugged his fist at the other party, and turned around to leave, but there was a sound of high-fives and admiration from behind.

"Immortals, good swordsmanship. ”

Li Bai's heart felt like he had been punched hard, he was stunned, his eyebrows and beard twitched a few times, and he turned to look at the old man sitting on the big stone and roasting the fire.

Li Taibai was very surprised, he had been in a state of disillusionment all his life, and he had not seen anyone he knew for a long time.

The one who can call himself the name of "Immortal" should be his old friend who worshiped the Hanlin period in Chang'an more than ten years ago.

The name of the immortal is a gift from He Zhizhang, a four-minded maniac who recommended kindness to himself.

Li Bai looked at the other party carefully, and suddenly his eyes widened, but he couldn't believe that this was true.

This old man is very much like that person, but that person is by the side of the Son of Heaven all day long, and he is very rich, how can he be wandered in this barren mountain and wilderness, and be bullied by a group of young people?

Li Bai opened his mouth, but finally didn't call out the name.

"You, you're—"

"Why? don't you dare to admit it?" but Gao Lishi was open-minded, straightened up, and raised his face to let the other party see clearly.

"Really, is it really you?" the corners of Li Bai's mouth twitched, Gao Lishi could fall into this field, he never thought of it.

"It's me, Colliers. Colliers replied.

Li Bai looked each other up and down again, and suddenly burst into tears.

Although Gao Lishi is still wearing brocade clothes, the atmosphere of wealth is still there, but compared with the demeanor of Wan Ming under one person back then, he still looks very sloppy, his hair is unkempt, and his beard has not been modified for a few days.

Li Bai stepped forward a few steps and threw himself in front of Gao Lishi, the former grievances suddenly disappeared, like an old friend reunited, and grabbed the other party's arm.

I think back then, he looked down on this very noble eunuch, but, frankly speaking, which of the many Chang'an figures did he put in his eyes?

When the Son of Heaven came to the edict, he didn't obey it.

In Li Bai's eyes, those Zhu Zi magnates are just a group of laymen, and even the Gao Lishi in front of him, who is a very popular minister, has been called by himself to sharpen his ink and take off his boots.

Unexpectedly, he also had a time when he was down, just like all the officials who were trapped in the political whirlpool of Chang'an, he couldn't help himself, he was small and humble.

He was also an ordinary person.

Li Bai's pity suddenly grew, and then he felt sorry for him.

Think about it carefully, although Gao Lishi is powerful, he just likes to speak and do things according to the will of the Son of Heaven, and he treats people and things, but he has never bullied anyone.

It's yourself who is reckless.

Li Bai suddenly felt a heat on his face, and he was ashamed.

Colliers is good at perceiving people's minds, finding a topic, pulling him out of his memories, and chatting a few words of homely things.

Li Bai also cared about the affairs of Chang'an, no matter how many changes he had experienced, his pure heart as a poet was always the same, and he didn't know how to be flexible, so he asked a few straight questions.

Some things are inconvenient to say, Li Bai doesn't understand politics and the way of being an official, Gao Lishi only said that now Li Fuguo is a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, and only Jiuxianyuan is taking care of the old emperor, and he has been gone for many days, and he doesn't know that the old emperor has three meals a day.

A few simple and very simple words came out of Colliers's mouth, but the bitterness and sadness in them were very clear.

Li Bai can't see through the world, but he is very empathetic, and he can understand what happened to others by feeling their emotions.

Now that the dynasty has changed, Li Fuguo's power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the old emperor has a miserable life.

Li Bai has seen Li Fuguo and himself, he is an ugly ghost, he has a sinister character in his bones, and he is not a good person.

In early spring, as soon as the afternoon passes, the sky gets dark quickly and the wind cools down quickly.

Gotta hurry.

"Your legs—"

Li Bai suddenly realized that Gao Lishi's legs were abnormal, swollen as if they were blowing, and although they were wrapped in cloth socks, they could also see the pain in them.

"Cold and dampness, it's okay. ”

Gao Lishi endured the heart-wrenching pain and said with a forced smile, beckoning the little eunuch to put on his boots.

The boots were specially sewn, and they were much fatter than they usually worn, but the cold and dampness became worse all the way, and the legs were even more swollen, and it was difficult to wear them for a while.

Every time he put it in, his body twitched, his teeth clenched, and it still hurt badly.

Li Bai looked uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "If this doesn't work, you have to find some ointment." ”

The ointment is there.

A few little eunuchs were afraid that they wouldn't be able to catch up with the inn on the road, so they brought a few things for cooking. There was a copper pot with lard paste with white flowers.

"Chilblains, swollen places, it's okay to apply some lard, poor families can't afford medicine, so they use this as medicine in winter and spring. ”

Li Bai said as he scooped up some lard with a spoon and roasted it slightly on the fire, coating it on Colliers' legs.

His pants and socks had already been cut open, but they were only wrapped around his legs, and a thick layer of lard had been applied to them.

If you put on your boots, it's really much more convenient.

Gao Lishi stood up and stepped on his feet a few times, he was really comfortable, happy, and praised Li Bai's good method.

"Hahahaha. Li Bai smiled even more happily, and the blocks that had been depressed in his heart for many years suddenly dissipated, and he couldn't imagine that the grievances in the past would be resolved in such a situation.
