Chapter 66: Returning the Sword to Beijing (+1 Update)

Every winter when the snow falls, Tianjing City is shrouded in a layer of white, it looks particularly ancient, the more winter, the later the sky is brighter, and the time of the morning pilgrimage every day will not be delayed by half a minute, most of the ministers have to endure the cold in the early morning and wear official uniforms to travel early.

Huo Guan, the squire of the military department, strode out of the mansion, and the carriage was already waiting outside.

The coachman lifted the curtain for him, and after Huo Guan sat in, the coachman shook the horsewhip, and the horse pulling the cart opened its four hooves, and the carriage passed through the empty bluestone road, and the sound came far away.

Unlike those colleagues who are suffering from the morning pilgrimage every day, Huo Guan wakes up early every day these days, and he doesn't know how many things in his stomach are going to go outside in one go. At this moment, sitting in the carriage, closing my eyes and recuperating, one thought after another in my mind, I have never been born in peace.

Some time ago, the great victory of the border pass has been spread to the capital, and together with the return, there are more than 800 people in the border pass generals in the mouth of the righteous soldiers, in this time the Great Qin to the war in the northern Xinjiang contributed a lot, Sima made a mistake, and these people took the war file, rushed into the Tianjing City.

His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin had sent their chiefs on pilgrimage.

On that day, the cold wind blew into the court, and the not too old general was able to see the honor of the saint at first sight, except for a few highly qualified elders, most of the courtiers did not know why His Majesty, who had always been restrained, was willing to recruit those 800 people into the border pass as soon as they met, and promised to be ranked, and was more willing to let the so-called righteous leader who was in the rivers and lakes have an official position and was directly named a general.

At this juncture, the generals who hold the military power are in a position that makes people blush.

But the leader directly refused, the emperor did not force that day, let alone angry, the next day ordered the Ministry of Heavenly Works to forge 800 Daqin horizontal knives, the handle of the dragon sparrow pattern, in order to show his merits, this time no one shirked, all accepted.

Because it takes time to forge the sword, those 800 people stayed at a post station in the capital for the time being, everyone knows that His Majesty values these 800 people very much, as long as the leader of the general is willing to nod, he can become the newly emerging real power general of Great Qin in the blink of an eye.

I don't know how many people from a big family have taken a fancy to this, a few years ago, the cold and powerful post station was called an endless stream of sentences during this time, all of them planned to have a good relationship with the general, but the general who was born recklessly received people and things have their own square circle, so much time, the gift is received, but it is not taken advantage of at all, and it is very slippery.

Huo Guan didn't act rashly.

First, he is in a special position, and secondly, he is also more cautious, climbing to this step, especially taboo to make mistakes, and he is extremely cautious in doing things. Thirdly, he found that the elders in the court, when they saw the general with the surname Gongsun, they were all extremely polite and kind.

Especially in the middle book, Zhou Fengyue had already ignored the affairs of the court, but when he went down to the court that day, he walked side by side with the general.

The expression on his face was gentle, as if he was treating his own nephew in his own life, which made him especially suspicious in his heart, and he had a lot of speculations, but he didn't dare to underestimate the general, let alone regard him as an ordinary person who was born reckless and not worth mentioning.

This time the northern Xinjiang won a big victory, and I don't know how many people in the DPRK and China were red-eyed, staring at the solid and iron-clad military exploits, and wanted to bite a bite of meat on it.

And it's going to be the birthday of the Emperor Taishang recently.

Your Majesty was ...... But now he must get the name of filial piety, and he attaches great importance to this matter, and all the officials are congratulating the emperor on his birthday.

While I was thinking about it, the carriage had stopped on the street beyond the royal road.

Huo Guan came back to his senses, got out of the carriage, tidied up his clothes, passed through the inspection of holding Jinwu, hurriedly entered the palace, greeted several familiar colleagues with a smile, and rushed up to walk side by side.

The sky was bright, and several gates of Tianjing City slowly opened.

There are people in the city who want to go out, more are running around for a long time, rushing to Tianjing City, in order to be able to enter the city earlier, waiting outside early, some eyebrows are knotted with a thick layer of frost, from the Tianjing City about ten miles, there are tea stalls to rest their feet, eat some hot tea to warm their bodies, and some simple food.

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to warm himself on the stove, and his eyes drifted to the side of the tea stall.

The first thing that caught my eye was a tall and burly white-haired old man, wearing a green shirt, not drinking tea or drinking, and a young girl next to him, opposite the two was a young man in blue, carrying a long package behind his back, as if he was contemplating.

A young man in gray clothes next to him seemed to be growing his body, holding a bowl of noodles and swallowing it in a big gulp, not to mention pouring three spoonfuls of old vinegar inside, mixed with oil and spicy seeds, even the green vegetables were glowing with a bright red, and the noodles were tumbling in the red oil, dotted with white sesame seeds, steaming.

The young man's black hair was supple, but he casually tied a straw rope into a ponytail, and carried a sheathed long sword on his back, and the hilt of the sword was wrapped with several circles of hemp rope to prevent slipping, and the shopkeeper rolled his eyes.

Just thinking about things casually, the young man put down the bowl, exhaled happily, sat down on the chair, wiped his mouth casually, and opened his mouth in Lisuo's official language, which was pure compared to the pure Tianjing people of the tea stall.

touched his belly, sighed, stretched out his hand and knocked on the porcelain bowl, looked at the blue-shirted young man next to him, and said bitterly: "This ...... Uncle. ”

"My amount of food seems to be getting bigger and bigger day by day, and I'm only 30% full."

The blue-shirted young man didn't raise his eyelids and said:

"Food, can't your family support you?"

The young man smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said:

"You must be able to afford it, but it's not, isn't it decent?"

"Besides, if you eat so many things every day, you have to call a rice bucket behind people's backs, and your face is dull, uncle."

Wang Anfeng sighed secretly, thinking that when the amount of food increased when he was practicing, his family was very poor at that time, and he had to go up the mountain and smash trees every day to support his family.

Especially in the past six months, Li Changxing's face has become thicker and thicker, if it weren't for his peace of mind this time, and his qi cultivation kung fu is coming up day by day, he can't help but laugh angrily, but at this moment, he just took a sip of tea and wrote lightly:

"When you enter the middle three grades, the amount of food will come down."

"Otherwise, it won't be bad to be the eldest grandson of the emperor of the rice bucket."

Li Changxing's face collapsed.

After a while, he looked up at the tall and majestic Tianjing City in the distance, licked his lips, and suddenly said:

"Uncle, are you really not going to enter the court? With your martial arts and identity, I will talk to my grandfather, everyone in the court has to be convinced, I really don't want to, I can be my young master when the time comes, this is an idle job, you don't need to do anything, and you don't have to deal with those people in the officialdom. ”

Wang Anfeng sighed leisurely and said, "Young master, ......"

Li Changxing nodded again and again, leaned over and whispered: "Uncle, let me tell you, the young master is idle, and his identity is good, those people in the family are forced to want this position, and they come in turn, there is no work every month, they are in charge of food and housing, and they have a lot of silver." ”

Wang Anfeng looked at Li Changxing and said:

"Lots of silver?"

Li Changxing nodded again and again, rubbed his thumb and forefinger, and quietly added, "No need to work." ”

Wang Anfeng retracted his gaze, took a sip of tea, and laughed softly:

"It's pretty good, but I refused."

"It's good to have silver, but you also know that I'm not interested in the court, so it still doesn't work."

Li Changxing's face was full of frustration.

After thinking about it, he said softly:

"Then if I become the Emperor of Great Qin, uncle, are you willing to come?"

Wang Anfeng looked at the young man who was about to walk around with him, stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Changxing's hair, did not answer directly, but said softly:

"There is no feast in the world."

"After all, I am a Jianghu person, and I want to go back to Fufeng and the East China Sea."

Li Changxing smiled strongly, and after a while, he said that he hadn't seen Tianjing City for a long time, and ran out to look at the scenery outside.

Li Wudao looked at the back of the young man and said:

"This kid, after following you for half a year, is still like this, it can't compare to his grandfather and grandfather."

Wang Anfeng said: "He is still young. ”

The old man laughed and said, "What's the matter, this is starting to protect the short?" ”

"Do you want to pass on your self-created swordsmanship to him?"

Wang Anfeng shook his head and said:

"It's not a good thing for the emperor to be addicted to martial arts, half-heartedly, it's better not to learn, and swordsmanship is the most taboo to be distracted, and in the end it will only waste time and get nothing, what I taught him is enough to be used as a talisman for him to save his life, it is enough."

Li Wu laughed, took another sip of wine, and said:

"Although this time I said that I was going to come here to return the sword, but the more I came, the more I didn't want to see that old boy, at this time I wanted to open, there is no feast in the world, this life has come to this time, if you don't see it, it's gone, those two swords you have carried for half a year, this time you will return them to him."

"It's his birthday in a few days, you send it over."

Li Wu looked at the majestic Tianjing City, paused, and said softly:

"When he borrowed the sword, he borrowed it refreshmently, and we can't be stingy when we return the sword."

Wang Anfeng looked at Tianjing City, patted the sword box, and said softly: "Well, don't worry." ”

"I saved it."
