The jumping camp on the banks of the White Horse River is only a few miles away from Qiuzi City, and Li Siye has to go back to live for a day every other day to solve some small problems at home by the way.

That evening, he led the horses back to the backyard, cut the grass and fed the two horses, and then came to the courtyard through the side yard gate.

Twelve Niang and Mei'er were sitting on the Hu bed under the thorny willows in the yard, the two were holding a rope and playing rope games, and the laughter of joy like birds was rippling in the yard.

Li Siye watched for a moment with his hands in his hands, and suddenly there was a knock outside the door.

He shouted twice at the top of his throat: "Aunt Wu!" Mrs. Chen!"

Li Mei'er put her hands on the rope ring, and said without raising her face: "Aunt Wu and Mrs. Chen are not at home, today is the local Qiumu Festival in Qiuzi, and everything in the market is cheap, so they took the Sogdian slave girls to buy live sheep and chickens."

Heck, there are really big holiday discounts.

He turned around and walked to the door, opened the door, but saw a soldier wearing a forehead and waist sword standing outside the door, looked at the fork and asked, "This is the mansion of Zhonglang General Li Siye."

"What's the matter with you"

The soldiers looked up at Li Siye's platoon, and immediately said respectfully: "My general is invited, please invite the general to the orchid wine shop in the city for a banquet."

Li Siye lowered his head and asked, "Who is your general?"

"The current envoy of Qiuzi Town, Cheng Qianli."

He nodded slightly, when he first came to Qiuzi, he had heard of Cheng Qianli's name, but he had never visited him, and he didn't know why he was suddenly invited to a banquet today

"You go back and reply to your general, Li Siye will be there later."

"Whoa."

Li Siye closed the courtyard door and returned to the center of the courtyard, where Twelve Niang and Mei'er were still entangled around the rope. He returned to his house, changed into a new official uniform, and came out and instructed the two: "Keep the courtyard gate for me at night, and I won't come back for dinner, you two are obedient."

Twelve Niang nodded obediently, and Mei'er was still urging in her mouth.

He walked towards the backyard, but heard Li Twelve Niang saying behind his back: "Come back early, I'll wait for you."

Li Siye's back tingled when he heard it, and Twelve Niangjing said these ambiguous words.

He led the young horse out of the back door from the stable, turned over and rode up, and rode slowly down the street, not in any hurry to the feast anyway, and walked leisurely to enjoy the scenery and pedestrians on the street.

Orchid Liquor is supposed to be the most high-end consumption place in Qiuci, located in the center of the city, and has incorporated some Central Plains dougong hard hilltop design in the Western Regions. There were two soldiers with knives standing at the door of the wine shop to watch and greet the guests, and when they saw Li Siye coming on horseback, they hurriedly went up and led the horse: "This general, please go to the second floor of the wine shop."

Li Siye squinted his eyes and rolled off the horse, it seemed that Cheng Qianli had invited more than himself.

He walked into the liquor store and glanced at it, and the Sogdian shopkeeper had a sackcloth on his shoulder: "General, please upstairs!"

Follow the shopkeeper up the wooden stairs to the second floor, where the empty seats on the upper floor are separated by a folding screen, and the shopkeeper points to the screen on the left, turning around and going downstairs.

He tidied up his head before he went around the screen and went in, and saw a pile of crimson official robes sitting inside, each sitting around a four-legged case. One of them stood in the center, his beard was purple and red, and the right side of his robe was hanging on his chest, and he smiled at him: "This must be the lonely general Li Siye."

When did the lonely general be given such a nickname, how could he not know

The person in front of him is the Qiuci town guard envoy and the governor of Qiuci Cheng Qianli, although he is a four-rank scattered official, but the official is under the jurisdiction of the Qiuci town envoy, and hurriedly crossed his hand towards Cheng Qianli and said: "Humble post to see the process of the town envoy."

Cheng Qianli smiled heartily, stretched out his hand to invite him, "Please sit down, and I'll talk to you later."

He glanced at the generals present, these looked familiar, but they didn't know any of them, maybe they had a few encounters when they were in the capital protection mansion, but they were also in a hurry.

Gao Xianzhi was also in the banquet, but from the moment he entered the door by himself, he didn't say hello or cast his eyes, it seemed that he didn't want to show that he knew himself in front of everyone. Li Siye didn't stick his cold ass up, but only found a corner by the window and sat at the same table with an unknown general.

The man's head was crooked, but he had no intention of tidying up, and his eyes were looking out the window lazily, as if he did not care about the purpose of the banquet, nor did he have any intention of making friends with his colleagues.

Li Siye thought to himself, it seems that there are everyone in the Anxi army, and if he behaves maverick, there will be no big problem.

The person in front of him made him curious, and he took the initiative to ask, "I don't know what the general is called."

"Horse phosphorus."

Ma Pho glanced back at him with lightning speed, and turned his face back to the window.

Isn't this Tang people like to add an official position in front of their names?

"What is General Ma's position?"

"Anyway, without you, Li Siye, Zhonglang will have a high rank, and you don't need to ask, you just need to remember the name of Ma Phosphorus. Oh, the official position and situation will change in a person's life, but there is only one name. ”

This answer is really amazing, you can mark your own style in one sentence, and it may be the kind that is not amazing and endless. If you write a poem with amazing words, it is understandable, but if you speak amazing words, you may not have many friends.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Cheng Qianli, the general standing in the middle, went to block the screen in person, and then turned back to speak: "We are all old men from Anxi, and we have all crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood again and again, so we naturally know how difficult it is for the brothers who are behind us to carry their heads and work hard."

Ma Phosphorus lay on the desk with his arms and whispered to himself: "Cheng Qianli, just after entering Anxi, he was the pro-soldier team of the deputy metropolitan protector Wang Husi, and then the pro-soldier brigade leader, and he was the banner officer, and the envoy of the festival, where did he experience the corpse mountain and blood sea, and it is true to watch the corpse mountain and blood sea of others."

Cheng Qianli saw this strange thing at a glance, and stretched out his hand to Ma Phosphorus and invited: "Otherwise, General Ma Phosphorus, please stand up and say a few words, I see that your mouth moves quite diligently."

Ma Phosphorus waved his hand again and again: "No need, I'm not good at talking, and it's easy to offend people."

Cheng Qianli snorted: "If it weren't for this broken mouth, you Ma Phosphorus would have been promoted to deputy capital protector a long time ago."

"We don't dare to think about it." Ma Phosphorus raised his hand, "Okay, I won't say a word from now on." ”

Cheng Qianli rolled up his sleeves and looked around before he said to everyone: "Those who can come here are all the mainstays of Anxi, and they are all old friends and subordinates of Fumeng Duhu.

Li Siye frowned, is this preparing to stand in line and form a party, he should not have come to such a banquet if he knew this. But if you are cut off from everyone, the road ahead will not be easy.

"Tanaka Cheng wants to send troops on an expedition to attack the small Bolu country, but judging from the situation in our army, the time is not yet ripe for the crusade, and I am afraid that the result of hastily acting will be the loss of troops. Therefore, if your opinions are the same as those of Fumeng Dugo, we will give advice to Tanaka and persuade him to postpone the crusade. ”

Li Siye expected in his heart that in the imperial history, Cheng had the right to play, and the Jiedu envoy had the power of autocratic military power. If Tian Renwan played the plan to the emperor to defeat Xiao Bolu, and then waited for the sage to issue the edict to Anxi, no matter how many people advised, the Anxi Protectorate would still be able to resist the edict

Just as everyone was talking about each other, Ma Phosphorus, who was beside Li Siye, finally couldn't help but speak: "General Cheng, if Tanaka Cheng wants to crusade against Xiao Bolu, he must first ask the imperial court. Could it be that when the imperial decree comes down, we will have to go to Chang'an to give advice to the sage."

Cheng Qianli was displeased and glared at Ma Phosphorus, which means that if you can't speak, you will say a few words.

Ma Pho laughed and turned his head to look out the window.

Cheng Qianli deliberately didn't look at the corner where Ma Phosphorus was, so as not to add to the blockage in his heart, and said with his hands behind his back: "Tanaka Cheng is a person who has read books, and he also knows what the will of the people cannot be violated, as long as we go together to admonish ......."

He quickly turned his head to glance at Ma Pho.

Ma Pho pouted and said, "Look at what I'm doing, I haven't said anything." ”
