Chapter 152: Acquaintances

When ordinary people hear that they want to kill themselves, they always have some relatively normal reactions, such as disgust, whether it is the killing itself, or the disgust of being used as a tool, or the feelings of fear, fear, worry, etc., Li Xuanjin has prepared a rhetoric, and he can make him agree, and he can find a high-sounding reason, and he has prepared some promises and so on, but Zhao Shi's reaction made Li Xuanjin startled.

I saw that his expression was cold, and then he said: "When you are performing martial arts? Does the prince guarantee that this person must be present? Can I be present at the same time? Who is he? How to ensure that we will be able to meet ...... when performing martial arts" said here but abruptly stopped, this is the habit brought by the previous life, the previous life when he received the order is action, never ask why, although he has changed a lot now, but when he heard the word killing, the first time was not to think about how to shirk, but to think of the details of the task, this is a habit accumulated over the years, like an instinctive reaction, until a few words asked, only to realize that his current identity is different, Even the person in front of him is not an officer who gives orders to himself.

Shaking his head, as if he had just gone through a time and space transformation, he received Li Xuanjin's stunned gaze, this is the first time that such an out-of-control situation has happened to him, and he doesn't feel a little ridiculous, but the reason can't be explained, but fortunately, after Li Xuanjin was surprised, a smile appeared on his face, "This king really didn't misunderstand you, this year's martial arts performance is indispensable for a sword and sword...... This person's name is Qin Kejian, leading the title of the commander of the East Palace guards, he will not participate in the martial arts, but if he plays martial arts, this person will definitely compete with the champion of the new science and martial arts, and compete for the position of the deputy commander of the Yulin Left Guard......"

Until Zhao Shi left the study, Li Xuanjin didn't say how this Qin Kejian offended him. made him think about getting rid of it quickly, and with his respect as a king, this matter would inevitably lose his status and status.

But this is just an episode, there is no need to say anything, today's Chang'an Street Market is much more prosperous than in previous years, close to the martial arts, and the lifters who came from all over the world brought fresh vitality to Chang'an in the autumn, but they are all martial artists who come here. One by one, they are all sturdy, carrying swords and swords, and if they don't agree with each other, it is estimated that it is the result of a big fight, so these businessmen who open hotels and inns are also cautious, lest they anger these fierce-looking military masters.

But this is all a worrying idea of a small person. Before these people came to Chang'an, which of them had not been carefully warned not to cause trouble when they arrived in Chang'an, who did you represent, either the town army or the forbidden army. or the face of the state capital, if they go to the prison of the Criminal Department, this future will be gone, so these people went to Chang'an. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, this heart is also full of fear, not to mention fighting and making trouble, even if you don't have much to hang out.

The emperor's birthday is on the sixth day of October, which is close to the beginning of winter, but the martial arts are to be held first, and this day has to be taken care of, and the final competition for the first place in each subject must be arranged on this day. But it's also a lot of effort.

On September 16, early in the morning, the Xishan hunting ground was already full of flags, people shouted horses and neighed, and the lively became a group, the place had already been prepared, and nearly 20,000 soldiers of the two guards of the Xiongwu Army and the two guards of the Yulin Army had been stationed in their camps. One south and one north form horns to protect the hunting ground. Groups of soldiers in bright armor walked between them, bringing up a puff of dust at the same time. It also added a little evil to the autumn windy royal hunting ground.

When Zhao Shi and his party came here, the hunting ground was already extremely noisy, the hunting ground was more than ten miles in radius, at this time it had been divided into several pieces, all of them had set up fences as barriers, and there were soldiers around to take care of them, all of them were still empty, only the middle position was left empty, and a prince with a height of several meters was built, and these lifters gathered in the position under the stage.

At this time, just after the hour, the lifters had already arrived, Zhao Shi took Du Shanhu and a few people to the periphery of the crowd, as for the horses, they were led away before entering this clearing.

There are only four of them in their group, Du Shanhu also signed up for this martial arts, but there is no Li Xuanjin to recommend, just in the name of a palace guard, the arrow test is to participate, Wang Hu is not interested in this, his future has basically been arranged, even if he gets a martial artist, it will not help much for his career, and he is here to cheer for others, Zhao Shi is followed by Li Quanshou, this child does not follow his father to the stage, saying that there are many people, and there are some princes and nobles on the stage, These juniors were really depressed when they went up, so Li Xuanjin also let him follow Zhao Shi offstage.

The venue is not small, and the crowd is very scattered, gathering together in twos and threes to talk and laugh loudly, anyway, none of the people in charge have arrived at this time, but some small officials are making some preparations in the field, and these rough men have no scruples, and their voices are not small.

When a few of them came to the periphery, they met a big man with a long beard muttering to his companion there, this big man has a big voice, and his body is very burly, but his face is not very good, green and green, like spinach in autumn, and the two companions around him are no better, shivering in the autumn wind, but these people don't seem to wear a lot of ground, why do they seem to be frozen?

But I heard the big man shouting: "Grandma, didn't you say that since there is the word royal here, it must be a good place to go?" This early in the morning, before dawn, I got Lao Tzu here, and I saw what kind of bird tricks were coming? If Lao Tzu can't pass the archery level today, you guys will wait to eat Lao Tzu's military stick when you go back......"

The faces of the two people outside were blue and white, not frightened by him, or frozen, hurriedly defended themselves, Zhao Shi and others listened outside, and also felt funny in their hearts, it was autumn, although it was not too cold during the day, but the early morning was the coldest time of the day, and several people stood outside for several hours, and it seemed that they had suffered a lot.

These people were not recommended from somewhere, it was obvious that they were new to Beijing, but these words caused Li Quanshou to laugh and lean back together, until those people glared at him with embarrassed and angry eyes, Zhao Shi grabbed his neck and walked away.

Speaking of the people present, there are also differences, and there are several women among them. Although it is not very long, but a military uniform, clean and neat, but also heroic, this is also the unique scenery of Daqin, among the founders of Daqin, there is a female hero, more able to tear the soil and seal the marquis, which also inspired many Qinchuan women in later generations to join the army, wanting to build a career that does not let men come out.

The group looked around. Slowly approached the middle of the field, and as he was walking, Zhao Shi saw an acquaintance in his flash, and his footsteps stopped involuntarily, but this acquaintance was something he didn't want to meet, and his hand unconsciously pressed the handle of the saber on his waist.

When several people next to him saw him stop, they all stopped and looked at him strangely. Following his gaze, there was a group of more than a dozen people in front of him, but there was a person who looked like a general, which was not uncommon in the field, and people from all armies were leading the team, first, for fear that these rude men would make something happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Second, follow this opportunity to give the emperor a birthday.

Du Shanhu naturally saw it, and smiled, "General Li...... Qingyang Town also came, but I don't know if Li Wu's rabbit cub came. ”

"Don't be too troublesome." Zhao Shi's body slowly relaxed. His eyes swept over the crowd, staring at the man's face, and his voice was low and somewhat intimidating.

"Brigade Marshal, if you can meet Li Wu's kid in the martial arts, will you kill him?" Du Shanhu was a little unwilling, and asked a question.

Zhao Shi turned around and walked to the side, saying at the same time: "Impossible, he is now the deputy general of the Xianfeng Army." What other martial arts are you going to participate in? As he spoke, he glanced back at the woman standing in the middle of a group of people, her face was calm, her bright silver armor was lined with a gray-blue cloak, she looked really different, and a dozen men with fierce expressions surrounded her in the middle, looking noble. But it also seems a little lonely and lonely.

Li Jinhua stood in the crowd. His face is a little thin, but he has been leading the army for a long time. This kind of bearing is no longer used to be as jerky as it was back then.

It's very noisy here, all the faces are familiar or unfamiliar with excitement, and all that can be seen from their smiles is the ambition and ** of the men, she is used to seeing such men, and she also knows what they all want, thinking of these, I feel bored for no reason......

What makes her even more annoyed is that there are already a few families who have come to the Li family to ask for relatives, all of them are family friends and the like, it seems that the prince is not idle, and a few letters are transferred from his cousin, but it seems a little shameless, the current prince, the future emperor? Hum.......

Where is that man now? What are you doing? Are you chasing fame and fortune like these people? It should be, how can a person like him be willing to be lonely? He won't be unknown wherever he goes, but I don't know how his regiment practiced, when he arrived in Qingyang, he didn't see him, and he still cares about the old things? I didn't explain it face-to-face back then, but I regretted it later, if I could see him again......

Thinking of this, if I felt something, I immediately looked up, searched for a long time, but I didn't see anything, I shook my head secretly, this time I came back to celebrate the emperor's birthday, several people shirked and shirked and finally fell on her, she didn't want to come back, although she grew up in Chang'an since she was a child, and it is a first-class prosperous place, but in her mind, it is not as comfortable as living in the barracks in Qingyang, but she and her uncle have not seen each other for two years, the grace of nurturing, the virtue of teaching...... In the past, it could be said that she was busy with military affairs, but this time she had no way to shirk it, and she had to go to her father's grave to worship, and just like that, she returned to her hometown.

But this time back is really not very pleasant, those people in the clan are red-eyed and green-eyed, although most of them are flattering, but there are not a few who speak coldly, she is twenty-four years old this year, and she has never been married, this gossip is always indispensable, but others have not said anything, and the family has come out with some disgusting rumors first, which is really chilling......

It was early in the morning that she didn't need to wait here as a general, but she still came, and she didn't have the idea of leaving that house.

Li Jinhua has a thousand thoughts here, but Zhao Shi has already put down all the things on his mind here, and the martial arts are in front of him, no matter what, since he has made a decision, he will no longer look forward to the future, and has already made up his mind to go through the officialdom, whether he succeeds or loses, it is better to live more than in his previous life.

However, trouble will always come to the door by itself, a few people bypassed Li Jinhua and a group of people to the bottom of the high platform, and were looking left and right, but a group of more than a dozen people came over next to them, and one of them saw that a few of them were stunned, and then walked straight over.

"Yo, it is said that the road is narrow, it is not easy to meet a few of you here, seventh brother, come here, these are the boys who beat the twelve brothers, they have searched all over the capital, and they have not found them, but it is a coincidence that they are here today."

Needless to say, listening to this voice, Zhao Shi knew that trouble was coming, and he had met one here who spoke in such an annoying tone, and it was the old ten of the folded family who met in Juxian Building.

He has met many people since he came to this world, but it is the first time that he has met people he doesn't want to meet like today......
