Not long after Twelve Niang left, Wang Sili broke away from the state of sitting in danger, and said with a look of surprise: "That was the disciple of the sword master Gongsun Auntie just now!" It is said that he got the true legend of the sword dance of Aunt Gongsun. I think I entered Chang'an with my father back then, and saw Aunt Gongsun lead her disciple Twelve Niang to perform swordsmanship at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. It was really a sword like thunder and lightning, thousands of people watched in empty alleys, and the whole street was blocked. ”

"I was still a child at that time, and I was carried by my grandfather on my shoulder, and my grandmother was like a goddess of the Nine Heavens, and her heroic spirit was like a fairy. The most memorable thing for me is Li Twelve Niang, she is out of the dust and vulgar in that starry night, dazzling like stars, and like a jade girl under the throne of the Queen Mother, which is beyond my dreams when I was a teenager. I thought that I would never have a chance to see her again in this life, but I really didn't expect to see her today in the west of the city, which is thousands of miles away. She was married to a woman. ”

After that, he kept shaking his head and muttering, "How could she get married, it's so sorry and sad for me." ”

Huangfu Weiming could not understand Wang Sili's feelings, and regarded his chatter as a gaffe. He sat upright and turned his head and said, "She was originally a mortal woman, what's the big deal about marrying a woman?" It's you, Si Li, it's really not a gentleman's move to visit a lady who is staring at someone else's house, and take the initiative to ask for someone's name. If I were her husband, it would be light for me to see you spying on my wife like this, and to give you an eviction order. ”

Wang Sili crossed his hands and apologized to Huangfu Weiming: "Don't blame Si Nong, the last general is indeed out of shape, just because it evokes memories of the past." ”

"It's okay," Huangfu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't mention this kind of thing again, and don't let Li Siye know about it, just hide it in your heart." ”

General Wang nodded respectfully on the surface, but he was holding back his curiosity in his heart, far exceeding the curiosity of Huangfu Weiming, wanting to see what kind of man he was lucky enough to marry the Xian'e in his dream of youth.

Huangfu Weiming's attention left his face, and he began to pay attention to the furnishings in the hall, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the two screens standing on either side of the pedestal.

He finally got up from the ground regardless of etiquette, went to the Shule defense map on the left screen to examine it carefully, and followed the route he came to discern it: "This is the mapping method of the drawing method, and from the estimation of the length of the grid above the drawing, it should be ten miles and one inch." This is the post station of the Luguan where we stayed, and here is a beacon of the Tang Army, what is this, this is a wind-eroded hill that we saw in the Gobi Desert when we came, it is really meticulous! More than 400 miles around Shule, all on this map! ”

He turned to look at the map of the Shule pasture, which had been planned according to the forage area, the military and civilian pastoral areas were demarcated according to the distribution area of the two rivers, and the pastures in the four seasons also had different colors. Judging from the combination of the two maps, the current station, situation, and nomadic position of the cavalry are all clear at a glance, which can really be regarded as a bottom in my heart.

Huangfu Weiming turned around and pointed to these two pictures, and sighed at Wang Sili and the entire hall: "Based on these two pictures, I should also give him a superior, as for him as a person, it is not so important whether he is seen or not." ”

Wang Sili was sitting in front of the desk and looking forward to it, he had nothing to do in his heart now, he just wanted to know what this lucky guy looked like, whether it was a peony with chaff.

He stroked the desk with his hand, coughed dryly, and said, "Since we are here, my subordinates still think to wait."

Of course, Huangfu Weiming didn't know what Wang Sili was thinking, he turned around and sat back in front of the desk, kneeling with his body straight, his eyes closed as if he were in the dark.

"He's coming!" Wang Sili spoke in an exaggerated tone, dragged Huangfu Weiming out of meditation, shook his shoulders before opening his eyes, and glanced at this subordinate reproachfully, which was really a fuss.

General Wang leaned over from the desk so that his gaze could bypass the wide open lattice door and look at the door.

Under his gaze, a stubble man walked down the corridor towards the main hall, looking down at his feet, wearing an ordinary black gauze head, wearing an ordinary light crimson crotch robe, and the gadgets on his waist collided with each other as he walked, making a rattling sound, and the goldfish bag hung in a conspicuous position.

I couldn't see his face clearly from such a distance, but it looked very ordinary from the figure, and there were many sturdy men like this in the army, but I felt that his walking posture was very special, unlike the officials who advanced in the army deliberately took a figure-eight step. His legs are a little loopy, which is a problem with horseback riding, but his feet are kept in a straight line with the inner figure-eight, no matter how low his head is, his waist is straight, his shoulders are almost immobile in walking, and his arms swing back and forth like a pendulum, with the stability of ordinary martial arts practitioners, but they are more flexible than them.

He had already come to the bottom of the steps, Wang Sili hurriedly withdrew his upper body, and sat up straight obediently, but his ears refused to relax, as if he wanted to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the other party's footsteps.

Bang, bang, as if I heard the sound of my feet jumping together, and then hesitated for a moment, was I turning around to see how far I had jumped? At last he stepped up the stone steps normally, and with the rustle of kicking forward, the owner who made these noises raised his feet and stepped over the threshold, and walked towards the hall.

Wang Sili took a deep breath and looked up at the other party. The eyebrows are narrow and not thick, but the eyelashes are very long, so that the slightly sunken eyes seem to be blocked by the grass and trees, and the light that jumps out of the eyes is very flexible, as if there is an unrestrained vitality.

He is indeed dignified, but he is only the mold of a standard general. The person in front of him is not commendable for his appearance, but the freedom and freedom that is poured into his body. It is naturally enough to match an ordinary beauty, but if it is Twelve Niang, no one in the world can match her.

What a pity.

The other party's gaze just swept over his face, and then swept to Huangfu Weiming, nodded politely, and was about to raise his hands to hold each other, but he didn't raise much high, and placed his fingers crossed on his abdomen.

"You're looking for me?"

Huangfu Weiming and Wang Sili stood up from the felt, first bowed their hands to Li Siye, and then realized that they were playing businessmen, so they changed to a forked hand salute, bowed slightly and raised their thumbs forward: "We are a business traveler who travels all over the world, and today I came to Shule Town, and occasionally heard that the town envoy was diligent in governing the place, and was praised by the people, and then moved to heaven, so that Geng Gongjing, which had dried up for 70 years in the city, gushed water. Therefore, I specially came to see the town envoy, hoping that Li Zhen envoy could let us in and taste the taste of the clear spring of Geng Gongjing's well. ”

"Taste the springs?"

Thinking about the reason a little more absurdly, did any merchant travel go to the town guard embassy because they wanted to drink well water? Which business traveler is so idle that he came to the door to ask for a meeting in order to drink saliva, this reason is also too arbitrary, and it is more explicit than Huangshi Gong's pastime Zhang Liang.

Li Siye sat in front of the screen and said, "Of course you can drink the water in the well if you want to, but don't be superstitious about its magical effect, it's just that the river gushes up and the spring comes out of the bottom of the well."

Huangfu Weiming felt in his heart, and asked: "Dare to ask Li Zhenzhi, is there any indication of this well water gushing from the spring?"

"It's just a rise in the water table, and there is no indication of it."

"Then why do the people still regard the water from the well as auspicious and run to tell it?"

Li Siye stroked the short hair on his chin, took a deep breath and said: "Why the underground river comes out of the water, we don't know the reason, instead of guessing, it is better to guide a little." The people tend to be auspicious and avoid evil, look forward to good signs, long for good weather and good weather, and long for a smooth livelihood, all of which are unpredictable like celestial phenomena. They are just looking for a reason to prove that their future will be better than today, so why don't we go along with their hopes? The appearance of auspicious rui can satisfy their conjectures, and inform them through the supernatural phenomenon that Shule Town under the rule of the Tang Dynasty will become more and more prosperous, and will make them firmly believe that the Tang Dynasty can survive for a long time, so that they will always love this empire. And this is the benefit of auspiciousness. “

Li Siye said these words without pausing throughout the whole process, and his tone was higher than the other, like a sonorous poem recitation, the words were round and full of emotion. After listening to this passage, Wang Sili finally understood why Twelve Niang chose to marry this man.

Because he doesn't speak.
