Chapter 7: Chang'an City
Li Bai drank himself in the tavern of Changle Fang until the sun went down and the moon rose in the east.
"Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person." Whenever he was drunk, his poetry would be like the water of the Yellow River. The wildness and indulgence in the poetry, the chic and uninhibited in the floating life, are vividly displayed between the lines.
The passers-by on the street gradually became scarce, Li Bai took off the wine gourd on his waist and poured two sips. The small and trivial sound of the tiles on the house was suddenly captured by his keen hearing.
Although he was half drunk and half drunk, his consciousness was still very clear, he pretended not to know, and his whole body was still fluttering, like a drunkard who was very drunk.
There was a corner in front of him, and Li Bai used light skills to "close to wine", and in an instant, he hid in a dark corner.
Li Yuanfang obeyed Di Renjie's orders and secretly monitored Li Bai's every move on the adjacent house. Around the corner, Li Bai suddenly disappeared. Li Yuanfang wondered, was he careless and was discovered?
Yuan Fang couldn't hold back the panicked heart, and jumped down from the roof, and when he came to the corner, a white figure flew over in an instant, and on the ground around him, he used his sword qi to draw a snow circle, sealing his way.
In order to avoid the possible attack of the opponent next, Yuan Fang threw out the flywheel extremely quickly, and escaped the blockade of the opponent's sword qi by relying on the "blade shield".
"I expected it to be you, little brother Yuanfang." Li Bai walked out of the gloomy corner, and the silver glazed moonlight leaked on his face, with a look of disdainful arrogance.
"Every time you come to Chang'an, you get into trouble, so Master Di sent me to spy on you." Yuan Fang replied firmly, and the huge flywheel behind him was almost as tall as him.
"Hey, don't confess yourself, for your honest and well-behaved sake, Brother Bai, I won't bother with you, hurry up and go home to find your mother." Li Bai laughed, put the sword into the sheath, and poured another sip of wine.
"Master Di has commanded, I will follow you wherever you go." Yuan Fang responded loudly.
"I came to Chang'an for sightseeing, so you Lord Di are so worried about me?"
"Don't worry," Yuan Fang said.
"I'm going to stay at the inn in front of me, and if you want to follow you, little bull." Li Bai covered his mouth with his hands and yawned.
Li Baikan walked forward on the uninhabited street, and Yuan Fang followed closely behind.
Not long after, Li Bai really came to an inn and stayed there. When Li Bai was about to close the door, he was stopped by Li Yuanfang with his foot.
"No, you'll keep an eye on me when I sleep." Li Bai was slightly shocked and helpless.
"Master Di said, I want to make sure that you are in my sight anytime and anywhere, and I don't enter the house, what if you jump out of the window and escape?" Yuan Fang pursed her lips and spoke loudly.
Li Bai was lying on the bed, and there was no trace of sleepiness, but the scenes of the past hit his heart.
The first time he came to Chang'an, it was because of his admiration for the city's majestic momentum and open-mindedness that was open to the world. He went to Chang'an for the second time, in order to be leveled by the Tang Dynasty's iron cavalry, and it was also the place where he grew up, and asked the current empress Wu Zetian for an explanation.
The Praetorian Guards in the Daming Palace fell one by one, and Li Bai dragged his bloody long sword and approached Wu Zetian step by step.
"Those small countries in the Western Regions are recuperating, trading with the Tang Dynasty, communicating with each other, and living in harmony, why do you want to send troops to break them one by one and kill them all?" Li Bai's cold questioning was full of murderous aura.
"I'm also very helpless, it's just that in recent years, their monarch has been too deeply entangled with the demons, and I'm afraid that they will be bewitched by the demons and attack me unprepared, which will affect the safety of my Datang border, so I have to make up my mind to prevent future troubles. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I must shoulder the responsibility of defending the country and the safety of the people! Even if I don't, the next emperor will do it. If you were me, what would you choose? Wu Zetian calmly confessed her original intention and helplessness.
"Then why don't you send someone to spy on the place where the demons are hiding in the Western Regions and destroy them with troops?" Li Wen continued to question.
"Every month, I send a search team to the Golden Desert to spy on the lair of the demons, and no one has come back alive for two years, so I can't wait any longer, I'm afraid that the next day will not hear good news, but the war from the West." Wu Zetian talked eloquently.
"If I help you find all the lairs of the Demon Clan, can you spare the other small countries in the Western Regions?" Li Bai tentatively.
"Okay, I can promise you, if you help me find all the demon nests in the Western Regions within a year, I won't be embarrassed by them anymore." The Empress promised him firmly.
A year later, he came to Chang'an for the third time. After a lot of hard work, he finally found out the location of all the lairs of the demon clan in the Western Regions, and tomorrow he will deliver this information to the empress.
At this moment, Li Yuanfang sat on the rattan chair opposite the bed, crooked his neck and fell asleep.
