Chapter Ninety-Six: The Prince of Sorrow
Fujimu said: "I've thought about it for a long time, I can't learn the essence of the soldier family in Chang'an, I want to go to the Western Regions, to the real battlefield, I want to go with you, to appreciate the sword light and sword shadow of the Biansai desert." ”
Li Siye spread his hands: "Then why are you discussing with me, you are also a thousand cattle of the seventh grade, if you are transferred to Anxi, you can serve as the brigade leader of the troops, and we are at the same level." ”
Fujimaki bowed and said, "This is exactly what I want to tell you, I don't want to be a brigade leader of any kind of troops. We were a group when we were in the East Palace, and I followed you under you, and it was okay to be a deputy brigade leader, and the team was fine. ”
"Is this it? It's very simple, when the time comes, I will protect you in front of the Metropolitan Protector. ”
After sending Fujimu away, Li Siye suddenly remembered another person, that is, Tian Zhen, who was performing opposite Tonghuafang. This person's ambition is also to go to Anxi to make meritorious contributions, but fortunately he has not forgotten him, otherwise because of this little thing, he would be able to hate Li Siye for the rest of his life.
He immediately ran to the vicinity of the Jianfu Temple in Kaihuafang, and Tian Zhen really set up a scene there, waving the wooden stick in his hand and turning the field from side to side.
His martial arts are really good, the stick is whirring in his hand, and the left and right slashes are as fast as lightning meteors, which provokes several onlookers to exclaim. A few guys with larger hands and feet threw out copper coins, and Tian Zhen lightly picked up the copper coins with a stick, and then more than a dozen copper coins fell and landed on the sticks respectively.
This hand is a real kung fu practiced by practice, and even Li Siye couldn't help but applaud. Tian Zhen took off the money on the stick, swung the stick to support his body and rushed forward, and then the stick shot out like an arrow and stopped at the end of Li Siye's nose.
Li Siye smiled calmly, and Tian Zhen put away the stick.
Tian Zhen began to clean up the stall, and Li Siye said behind him: "I'm going to Anxi, I want you to go with me." ”
"Let me be your own soldier, or will I be a ministry?" Tian Zhen's broad lips grinned sarcastically.
Li Siye didn't come with him, and snorted and said: "I, an official from the seventh grade, can only be a brigade leader when I go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, so I can let you be a team leader at most." If you don't go there, there will be no such shop after this village. ”
"Okay, I'll go."
Tian Zhen put all the performing equipment on his back, and asked him with a package in his hand, "When are you going?" ”
"I'll come to you then."
"Okay, you're still looking for me here, and I'll continue to practice here for a few days."
After recruiting Tian Zhen, it seemed that everything was fully prepared, Li Siye thought about what else he needed to prepare, not to mention, there was a omission, and he forgot to buy a water bag.
He went to the West Market again, bought the cowhide water bag, and returned to Xinchangfang to pass by the yard of the, who was standing at the door with the knocker on her face, with a little shyness and embarrassment on her face.
She was embarrassed, and Li Siye was even more embarrassed. Because of the sip of wine, her husband almost went to the door and almost fought with him. The two don't have to have anything to do with each other in the future.
Li Siye lowered his head and was about to leave quickly, but Xu Niangzi suddenly spoke: "Li Lang, I heard that you are leaving Chang'an, is it because of me?" ”
"No, no," Li Siye hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, I was already preparing to go, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
When he said this, it made the's eyes even more resentful. Li Siye ignored her, returned to the yard, and first went to the mulberry tree to inspect the green horse, and the hooves on the four hooves were still intact and did not need to be replaced.
He returned to the room and continued to check the contents of his backpack, feeling that everything was ready, but it seemed that there was still something missing, and he waited for Li Heng to summon him in this mood of suffering from gains and losses.
In the early morning of the second day, the Zhongwang Mansion sent a eunuch to call him, and Li Siye pretended to be relaxed and followed the eunuch to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion in Yongfufang.
This place is full of royal mansions, and the brothers of the Li family are also neighbors, but it is also lively.
Li Heng's Zhongwang Mansion is in a relatively remote location in the middle of the fang, and the gate of the palace is very magnificent, but it looks old, and even the walls have peeled off the wall.
Li Siye followed the eunuch into the mansion, and immediately a eunuch with a sharp and thin face and the potential of a yin owl came up, looked him up and down as if he were an animal, and then asked with a smile: "Is this Li Siye?" We're already thundering. ”
"Dare to ask who the inner prison is?"
"Our family's name is Li Jingzhong, and he is the chief attendant of the Zhongwang Mansion."
Li Siye's eyelids jumped violently, and then he pretended to be casual and crossed his hand and followed him towards the palace.
The interior of the palace is much more glamorous than the outside, so it can be judged that the wealth of the palace is not limited, and the obsolescence of the gate and the wall is just a small trick of the king, at least not because of the extravagance.
After turning around and passing through two or three courtyards, Li Siye saw three or five Western Regions dancers dancing in a side hall, as if they were rehearsing the show. Three or five luthiers sat cross-legged on the carpet, playing the lute, the pipes and the flute, but they made no sound.
Li Siye felt strange, is this considered indiscriminate? How can I charge it if no one makes a sound?
When he got closer, he realized that there was a sound, but the crowd played too quietly, and he could only hear it when he stood in front of him in the silence around him. The person who plays the pipa uses his fingertips to control the volume, and it is not easy to get to this point.
Seeing that Li Siye's face was different, Li Fuguo took the initiative to explain: "Our Royal Highness likes the turtle dance, but he doesn't want outsiders to know, he has always acted cautiously, so he ordered the musicians in the house not to play outside the wall. ”
Li Siye suddenly realized, and nodded with his mouth wide open.
"Li Langjun, please,"
He followed Li Fuguo to the main hall of the palace, and looked up to see Li Heng kneeling in front of the screen, behind the plank case, with a straight posture, like a good student who listens carefully in class.
Sitting below on the left is a military general, wearing a lacked robe of vermilion, with a belt of gold and jade, a total of 12 skulls, presumably Anxi Du Lai Yao.
Li Siye immediately bowed down and saluted: "The original prince led a thousand cattle Li Siye to see His Royal Highness King Zhong, see Laidu Protection."
Li Heng raised his hand and said to Lai Yao: "Come to Duhu, this is a strong man Li Siye that I introduced to you." He has good skills and is quite talented, so let him go to the Anxi Army with you to train for a few years, I don't know if it's okay?"
Lai Yao's beard was chest-length, and he glanced up and down at Li Siye, but there was nothing eye-catching. Although he is tall and powerful, such tower-like strong men abound in the Anxi army, and they are not new.
He thought about it for a while, and the temperament of King Zhong had also heard of it a little, and he was cautious by nature, and he didn't dare to do this kind of thing to go through the back door, unless it was ...... He seems to have understood. couldn't help but glance at Li Siye, from the prince to Anxi, which is equivalent to being demoted, so you can't give too much care.
But after all, he has done things under the prince, and the prince will be a saint in the future, and he can't be too cold. If this person can provoke His Majesty's dislike, he will definitely be valued by the prince, not necessarily to provoke His Majesty, or to the lady in the palace, this interpersonal relationship is too fucking complicated.
He had secretly calculated in his heart, and gave Li Siye a positive attitude on the surface, but secretly Lu rice and money had to be given according to the standards of the school captain. It's the same with armor weapons, so it should be considered a no-offense.
