Chapter 65: The Tanuki Sees the World for the First Time (2)
Chen Yuqiao's words can be regarded as a parting gift to Li Xiaohu, an exhortation from a senior brother to a junior brother. Although Li Xiaohu failed to comprehend Chen Yuqiao's artistic conception, he still understood the general meaning - don't follow the old path of senior brother.
Chen Yuqiao left when Li Xiaohu drank the fourth jar of wine, and by the time Li Xiaohu drank all the eight jars of wine, the tavern was already empty. He straightened his wet placket, stood up tremblingly, and staggered out of the tavern.
Rhubarb was resting in the moonlight. Li Xiaohu stepped forward and stroked its smooth golden long hair, and whispered: "I'm leaving tomorrow, you have to eat and sleep well at home, and when I come back, don't lose weight...... Of course, don't develop a ball, and do more exercise on a regular basis......"
Although rhubarb can understand people's feelings, it is not enough to understand these words. However, a trace of parting sadness in Li Xiaohu's words was still sniffed out by it, and it "whined" twice, and then rubbed its owner with its furry head......
Li Xiaohu also considered bringing rhubarb, but in the end he rejected it. Because rhubarb is too majestic, it is inevitable that there will be extraneous branches along the way when it is so conspicuous. There are few people in the entire Great Wei who use the Golden Wind Dog as a mount, and you can know his identity with a little inquiry.
"It's not early, let's go back to the palace. Li Xiaohu patted Rhubarb's head and said......
When the moon is in the sky, Jiazidao is brilliantly lit, and it is difficult to see the stars shining in the blue sky. Li Xiaohu rode rhubarb slowly down the spacious street, and while he took advantage of the gentle breeze to wake up, he thought about who he needed to say goodbye to tomorrow morning.
He silently planned in his heart: "Li Muya, I haven't seen her in the past few days, it is estimated that she has been grounded by Li Tiancheng, and I don't know if I can see her when I go to the palace tomorrow." The Huo family is also going to go, even if it is not for Huo Luoxue, Grandpa Huo and Uncle Huo should also say hello......"
Li Xiaohu's guess was right, Li Muya was watched by Huang Fuxi for the past two days, and she was strictly forbidden to run around outside the palace like before. Huang Fuxi's original words were: "Ya'er, you will stay in the palace with your mother, if you are really bored, let your eldest brother take you out to play, don't mix with Li Xiaohu, he is your disaster star." Last time, you were imprisoned by your father for a month, and this time you even have to worry about your life......"
Li Xiaohu was so engrossed that the alcohol made him feel a little dazed, and he didn't notice that he passed by a few acquaintances. He didn't turn back until he heard someone call out to him.
"What's the matter, His Royal Highness?" Wan Xinran sniffed his nose, "It's such a strong smell of wine, won't it be because he was dismissed by His Majesty and borrowed wine alone to drown his sorrows?"
As soon as Wan Xinran learned the news of Li Xiaohu's dismissal, he rumored outside: "Li Xiaohu was removed by His Majesty because of his dereliction of duty and almost assassinated Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Those who flattered themselves even turned over the old accounts: "As soon as Li Xiaohu took office, the capital was not peaceful, His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven and His Royal Highness the Third Prince were assassinated one after another, Huang Yan, the captain of the city guard, died unjustly, the Ministry of Industry was forced to flee as a prison and Lin was killed, and the wind hunting place did not stop killing people. ”
The listener also chimed in: "Then he is really a disaster." ”
"Who says it's not, I've been running errands outside the city for the past two days, and the heavens and the earth are full of money. ”
"I think he's just a kid of a family who doesn't take human life seriously, and if he picks up this skin, he can't even get a bite of food if he squats on the side of the road. ”
"Be careful!" ......
Li Xiaohu's glory and wealth are beyond the reach of most people who have struggled all their lives, which is the reason why ordinary people hate him; the verses he borrowed to defeat Xue Shao with a sword made many famous ladies look at him differently, which is the reason why Wan Xinran and other noble children hate him. Now it is reasonable to be "beaten", and even the widow of the wind catcher where he went to mourn two days ago has changed from gratitude to resentment when he received the pension, and they believe the rumor that Li Xiaohu killed their relatives.
Faced with Wan Xinran's provocative question, Li Xiaohu didn't bother to pay attention, patted Rhubarb's head, and motioned for it to continue moving forward. Some people you "step on" him, he gets angry, you don't pay attention to him, he is even angrier.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is so majestic, even we noble children don't pay attention to it, and the lives of those ordinary people are not worth mentioning. ”
"Wan Xinran, don't look for unhappiness. Li Xiaohu turned around and came to Wan Xinran and said in a deep voice.
Rhubarb felt the anger of his master, and roared, and the horses under everyone's crotch trembled with fright. The little characters took a few steps back, and said behind their backs that it was okay, but they still had to avoid their edge in front of them - after all, this was a master who dared to let a dog bite the squire of the military department.
Wan Xinran was not flustered, but he also put away his mocking expression, and said in a declarative tone: "His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't have to be like this, there is no other meaning in the world, thinking that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been idle recently, and he is not as busy and lacking skills as in the past, so I want to invite you to participate in the martial arts meeting tomorrow morning, it is in the racecourse in the west of the city, and it is very safe." ”
"Not interested. Li Xiaohu's tone was cold, and he turned around and left.
After the rhubarb walked out of a distance, Wan Xinran shouted behind him: "At that time, the falling snow will also be there, and His Royal Highness the Prince will no longer consider it......?"
Under the same night sky, north of Los Angeles, under the jurisdiction of Baisha County, Tongzhou. Jindaozhuang is one of the richest Zhuangzi outside Baisha City, although the time has passed at this moment, but the Zhuangzi is still brightly lit. In fact, in the past, Jindaozhuang was not so lively, and tonight was ordered by the second owner of the village to take the wind and wash the dust for Qin Han, the owner of the big village.
In a clearing south of the village, a group of more than 100 cavalrymen stood solemnly in the cold moonlight, they were dressed in black armor and did not say a word, and at a glance they knew that they were a group of well-trained warriors. Their leader looked at the Golden Dao Zhuang not far away and sneered, and then said to the handsome young general behind him, "Jin Yu, give the order." ”
"Yes, second uncle. Huo Jinyu, who was wearing black armor and looked childish, turned around and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order, exterminate the bandits of the Golden Dao Village, and go out immediately!"
"Not a single one remains. Huo Ziyan added.
"Obey!" Huo Jinyu was about to say something, but the voices of the crowd full of murderous aura interrupted him.
Hundreds of people divided into four teams and stepped on the golden knife village. Huo Ziyan saw Huo Jinyu, who wanted to stop talking, and said lightly: "General Huangfu learned that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess was assassinated and smashed the table with one punch, don't these people deserve to die?"
"But...... At least leave some alive for interrogation......"
"Do you think that Qin Han's group of people will return to Golden Dao Village after doing this vote? So we are not here to investigate the case, but to slaughter the village. Huo Ziyan looked at Huo Jinyu with an unbearable look on his face, and continued: "It's to let the world know - what things should not be touched!"
