This made his heart particularly chilling, Zhang Kuo and his gang failed to kill Li Siye, but died at Li Siye's hands! An inexplicable sense of fear rose in his heart, and he felt angry and incredulous in addition to fear.

Zhang Kuo and others are really wine bags and rice bags! Lao Tzu tied him to a tree, and you couldn't kill him! What a desert vulture you dare to call yourself!

In this way, he is equivalent to forming a personal enmity with Li Siye, there is such a person who serves with him, and seeing each other every day is like a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, like a man's back!

Li Siye quietly clenched his fists, and then hugged his fists at him with a calm expression, squinting and smiling: "Brother Lu, why didn't you wait for me on the road, I have been looking for you for a long time." ”

Lu Qian was stunned for a while, and then showed a slightly better smile and said: "Come to protect the day and night, we don't dare to leave without permission, we are really ashamed of Brother Li." ”

"I've always come to protect the city, but can I protect the house?"

"In, in, can you go yourself?"

After Li Siye thanked him, he strode towards the mansion.

Lu Qian's heart became more and more unpredictable, worried, who is this Li Siye? What was he going to do? How can he be like a person who has nothing to do, is he really open-minded and open-minded. This seems unlikely, but he colluded with bandits and almost killed him. If he, Lu Qian, encounters such an enemy, he has to find a way to slaughter him, and push himself and others, Li Siye probably will not give up so easily.

He was about to go out of the house to run errands, but he was uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly turned back.

He knows that he is a protector of Yao, and he is known for his fairness and strictness, and he will not be partial because he is his personal guard brigade rate, if Li Siye has always complained to Yao, he is afraid that the newly promoted brigade rate will not be able to keep it, in case he is made into a small soldier by Lai Yao, his life is over.

Lu Qian stood in place and thought carefully, then sneered and gritted his teeth, even if Li Siye wanted to sue, it would be difficult to believe only his words, as long as he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, what could he Li Siye do?

Thinking of this, he turned back again, walked quietly to the outside of the mansion, detoured to the back of the hall, and squatted under the window of Laiyao's study, wanting to hear what Li Siye said.

……

Li Siye stood in the study of Lai Yao Duhu, the study of this military general, naturally different from the literati, there were not a few books on the shelf, except for some military books and household registration, the rest was some rare treasure ornaments. The scimitar with a cowhide sheath hanging on the partition door must have been captured from the battlefield.

Lai Yao and a middle-aged general sat opposite each other on the Hu bed, with a Central Plains-style plate foot case in the middle, a tea pot and a tea set next to it, and the two of them slowly drank with a tea bowl.

"The subordinates failed to keep up with the metropolitan escort team, please come to the metropolitan protection and punishment."

Lai Yao put down the tea bowl and didn't turn his head to look at him, but asked indifferently, "What is the reason for the delay on the road?" ”

"The subordinates left the ancestral heirloom in Puchang Town, went back to look for it, and on the way back, they met the bandit Zhang Kuo and a group of robbers and merchants, and after the subordinates broke it, they chased the thief to the depths of the desert, and finally killed five of their gangs, so it was delayed."

"Oh?"

Lai Yao just nodded, and the middle-aged general sitting opposite him turned his face sideways and looked at Li Siye with an approving expression.

This person is handsome, with black hair, short hair only inches long, focused eyes and spirits, which can be regarded as the standard of a beautiful man in the Tang Dynasty, and the fly in the ointment is that he does not have a bulging belly, which does not meet the standard of fat as beauty in the Tang Dynasty, but in Li Siye's view, this is a symbol of middle-aged and not greasy.

This middle-aged and non-greasy beautiful man is none other than Gao Xianzhi, the current deputy protector of Anxi and the envoy of the four towns.

Gao Xianzhi held the tea bowl and smiled indifferently:

"Zhang Kuo bandit, I have heard that this thief has been rampant in the desert for ten years, robbing passing merchants, which is a great trouble on the old silk road. It seems that our Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate also has a reward for the list. ”

Lai Yao turned around from the Hu bed, smiled and stroked his beard and said: "It is worthy of being a prince of Donggong Qianniu, indeed a tiger general, and he has made great contributions before he arrives in Anxi." ”

Li Siye crossed his hand on his chest and said: "My subordinates just met by chance, and they did what they did, and they didn't dare to take credit." ”

"It is natural to be rewarded for merit, Li Shuzheng does not have to be humble, just calculate the reward money according to the reward on the list of our Anxi Duhufu, can you take the head of the thief?"

Li Siye was a little disappointed, this is to reward him as an ordinary righteous man in the rivers and lakes, is he Li Siye a person who lacks these tens of thousands of dollars? Even if you accumulate this credit, you can count it as a qualification for promotion in the future.

"The subordinates took the head of the thief and the gang, and hung it on the mount of the last general."

Lai Yao nodded and said: "This matter can be informed of Cao Zhenqing, who will join the army," he rubbed his forehead again and said: "Regarding your future position, there is no vacancy in all regiments under the command of the Metropolitan Protectorate, I don't think it is as good as this, you temporarily settle down in Qiuzi City, come to the Metropolitan Protectorate every day, and the Metropolitan Protector will send someone to arrange a house for you, and the monthly money and rice will be distributed according to the standard of the school captain, and when there is a vacancy in the future, I will arrange it for you immediately." ”

Li Siye understands, isn't this just hanging him in an empty space? Neither real power nor position, what is the difference between this and loose officials? He was full of ambition to come to Anxi to do something, but he was poured cold water on his head, which was really a little puzzled. Could it be that Lu Qian is making trouble?

This is also unlikely, Lai Yao has been protecting the capital of Anxi for decades, and his people are very capable, how can a small pro-soldier rate be able to influence?

Anyway, he couldn't figure it out, but he could vaguely feel that the change in Lai Yao's attitude might come from the Chang'an Dynasty.

Li Siye had no choice but to retire from the general, walked out of the study of the capital guard, and went to the duty office where Fa Cao joined the army, and exchanged his head for reward. Tian Zhen and Fuji Mu followed behind him, and the two asked him quite worriedly, "How is it?" Where are you going to be sent to be a brigade? ”

Li Siye smiled and shook his head: "I'll tell you more about this later." ”

The two looked at each other, feeling an ominous premonition swirling above their heads.

Fa Cao joined the army and had a surprisingly good attitude towards Li Siye, and after ordering someone to check his head, he asked Li Siye: "Li Shuzheng, how are you going to receive this money, do you receive it directly, or replace it with rice grain, or replace it with silk?" ”

Li Siye lowered his head and thought for a while: "It's better to replace it all with silk for me." ”

During the Kaiyuan period, private minting Tongbao was rampant, although after a period of rectification, although the bad currency has decreased, there are still many in circulation. 70,000 yuan is not a small amount, and if it is mixed with hundreds or thousands of bad coins that are not enough, he will lose money. It's still better to be silk, silk is a hard currency in Datang, not to mention in this Anxi, the more cold the winter when the road is frozen, the price of silk is likely to rise, even if you want to exchange it for gold and silver money in the future, it is also very good.

Fa Cao smiled: "Li Shuzheng, it's the same as I thought." ”
