Chapter Eighty-Three: The Veteran and the Young (I)
"Let's go, old man wandering alone." The old general said to the young people behind him.
"No, General, how can I leave you out alone?" Lin Hai spoke.
Xue Zhao rode the black horse, and won the admiring and excited eyes and voices of many people around him, but he was silent.
"You're afraid I'm going to be killed?" General Guan Ying glanced back at them with a smile.
"Who dares? No way! Lin Rong immediately said.
"No one can," General Guanying said with a smile, "Although he is old and not as brave as he was back then, he is not easily killed, in front of the people of Chang'an." ”
General Guanying's military strength is transcendent, and he can be a hundred when he is young, even if he is old, but this trip to the northern Xinjiang, his strength has given Xue Zhao and others great admiration - because he is still strong and strong.
What's more, as the other party said, they respect General Guanying, so many people in Chang'an, and all of them respect him, even if anyone who doesn't look at him alone and wants to make a move, is it difficult not to be afraid of being beaten to death by the group?
Xue Zhao obviously knew what General Guanying wanted to do.
So he nodded and said, "The general is walking around, it's sunny and the weather is good today, but something not so good happened." ”
As soon as he said this, Lin Rong and Lin Hai's brothers' faces became gloomy, and the hidden things on General Guanying's face also disappeared in a flash.
As soon as they came back today, they found that Chang'an had changed, and it was no longer what it was when they left, it was all because of someone.
All four of them have some intersection with that one.
Those things are unspeakable, but everyone knows them.
General Guanying nodded, and without saying anything more, he rode his horse forward.
Seeing this, they knew that the other party didn't want to stay longer, Xue Zhao turned the horse's head, and Lin Rong and Lin Hai also looked at each other and turned around.
The buildings on all sides reflect the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the golden light that pours thousands of miles, which is extremely beautiful.
General Guan Ying rode slowly, staggering, squinting his old eyes, and looking a little pleasant.
The people of Chang'an around him spontaneously saluted, and he didn't seem to see it, or didn't care.
He's thinking about his own business.
When he was in the northern frontier, he did some things, but in the end it was in vain, and even killed a young man who was supposed to have a promising future, for which he sighed a little, but felt that the other party had died deservedly.
Originally, he forgot all this for a short time, and left it to continue his actions after returning to Chang'an, but just now at the city gate, he heard the news about that person again, and knew that there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping in Chang'an.
It wasn't until he entered the city gate, entered Chang'an, and walked around the streets that he really discovered that something was wrong in Chang'an, not only the atmosphere, but also the panic in some mansions along the way.
He had always firmly believed that that person should be killed, and he must have had a lot of people in Chang'an who had this idea now.
It stands to reason that this is what he wants to see, but when he sees the scene of Chang'an now, he doesn't think so.
That man is still alive now, and he's making a lot of trouble.
He rode his horse and walked forward slowly, his eyes watching the place where he had been gone for a month, and his thoughts did not stop.
After a long time, he looked at the plaque of a mansion along the street, looked at the expressions of the people in front of the mansion, and frowned.
He passed by so many mansions, and all he saw were people who were sad and frightened because of what happened to his son's daughter, and he probably heard that the imprisonment of those sons and daughters was probably because of something, and in the white clouds of Baifu, he didn't believe that he would do something, so he felt that the expressions of the people in Baifu were not in his expectation.
He stopped his horse and looked at the White Mansion for a long time.
Probably because they knew that Bai Zhang was going to leave Chang'an soon, the people of Bai Mansion seemed a little absent-minded, and only after a while did they discover his existence, and hurriedly said: "I have seen General Guanying, the old general has returned to Beijing today?" ”
General Guanying smiled and nodded: "Go back to Beijing today and walk around." ”
After saying this, he did not think too much about it, and continued to ride forward, but not long after the journey, his expression suddenly changed, he changed direction, and the speed of the horse also increased a little.
……
……
The color of the plum blossoms is even more beautiful under the bright sunlight and the dew that has not dried up in the morning.
A wooden table carved with intricate flowers sits in the center of the courtyard, and next to it stands a young man with a handsome face.
There was no one in the entire courtyard but him.
He didn't know what was written on a piece of cloth on the wooden table, sometimes he looked up to look at the flowers, sometimes he lowered his head and continued to write.
It can be seen that he seems to be writing something important and secret at the same time, but his pursuit of elegance while enjoying the scenery creates a certain inexplicable contradiction.
After a long time, he suddenly stopped what he was holding and looked towards the oval courtyard door.
A cronie of the Qin Palace's palace poked his head out, clasped his fist at him, and said, "Your Highness, General Guanying asks to see you." ”
"General Guanying?" Li Xunan pondered for a while, put away the cloth on the table, waved his hand, and said, "You go first, serve tea." ”
The man nodded, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Li Zenan stood there, looking at the plum blossoms, and was silent for a long time.
General Guanying returned, and with his respect for the other party, he should have gone to greet him personally, but as Li Xiyun said outside the city gate, he was very busy, very busy, busy doing his own thing, and not many people knew what he was doing, although he seemed to be very leisurely.
Life should be hard to come by, he said to himself.
……
……
General Guan Ying is really old, but he is very energetic.
He squinted his eyes and didn't care about the good tea brought by the subordinates of the Qin Palace, but paced slowly in the courtyard.
Although the courtyard is not large, there are rockeries, ponds, and pavilions.
It's just that there are no flowers here.
He had been to the Qin Palace, and Li Xunan was younger at that time, but he was sharp and showed his ability early. During this period, he was able to see the sea of flowers in the courtyard, which made him very intoxicated.
Li Zenan is handsome and loves beauty, maybe in this regard, he loves beauty more than his world-famous imperial sister Li Xiyun, but it's a pity that he is a man, otherwise, Li Xiyun's title as the first beauty in the Northern Tang Dynasty may not be kept.
