Chapter 108: Willow Lake
Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu left the Taiping Inn and went to the place he had agreed with the Bodhisattva.
Longmen Mansion guards the General Military Officer's Mansion.
In the sequence of military attachΓ©s of the imperial court, the chief military officer of the town guard is second only to the general and the chief military officer of the admiral military affairs who are only awarded in wartime, which is equivalent to Qin Wuxi, the deputy capital guard. However, Longmen Mansion is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it has been peaceful for a long time, but in terms of the number of troops, it is far inferior to the generals of Xizhou.
Bodhisattva Man is not the local chief military officer, he is just a staff member of Mei Rulin, the chief military officer. Although he does not have any rank, this chief officer relies on him very much, not just as a confidant, and gets along with him on weekdays, not as a boss and a subordinate, but as a friend.
This time, the Bodhisattva Man left Longmen Mansion, and Mei Rulin kept it several times, but the Bodhisattva Man had already made up his mind, and Mei Rulin couldn't, so he could only gather and disperse.
The mansion of the chief military officer of the town guard is not difficult to find, and after arriving, Qi Xuansu reported the name of the Bodhisattva, which is very ordinary, most of them are the same as the name "Wei Wugui", which is a fake name made up.
After a while, the Bodhisattva Man came out of the General Military Mansion and explained: "Recently, we have been handing over all kinds of matters at hand at the General Military Mansion, except for eating and drinking, I can't be idle for a moment. β
Qi Xuansu didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only answer vaguely.
Eating and drinking and not idle, no matter how you look at it, they are not next to each other. But in the mouth of the Bodhisattva, it is so natural and reasonable.
"Come with me." The Bodhisattva turned around and entered the General Soldier's Mansion.
Qi Xuansu followed behind the Bodhisattva Man, and the black-clothed man on duty did not stop him, and he did not even ask a word, which shows that the Bodhisattva's status in the General Military Mansion is almost no different from half of the master.
The Bodhisattva said: "The Mei family is not a family of generations of nobles, but a rising star who has only developed in the past hundred years. When it comes to Mei Rulin's generation, the word 'such as' is the model word for generations, because of the fear of committing the taboo of the Li family, so the second word is next to the wooden word, such as forest, such as pine, such as cypress, not only is not the slightest bit green and yellow, but it is full of talents, so now there is a saying in the government and the opposition, the Mei family is a big tree. β
Qi Xuansu said: "The Li family is so domineering, and they don't have the same surname, so they have to take care of the generational model?" β
"The Li family didn't say anything, but they weren't afraid of 10,000, just in case." The Bodhisattva said lightly, "It's not a day or two that the Li family has been acting strangely, and the name of 'East China Sea Weirdos' has also been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is not strange that they do anything, the same thing, it happened to others, it was a scandal that the sky fell, and when it happened to the Li family, it felt unremarkable, who is not afraid?" β
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that notoriety also has the benefits of notoriety, and if you are not burdened by false fame, you can do whatever you want." β
"You can't say that." The Bodhisattva Man did not fully agree with Qi Xuansu's statement, "The Li family is not all notoriety, it should be called a mixed reputation, after all, there is a Xuansheng of Zhongxing Daomen, and further afar, the ancestor of Taishang Dao is also surnamed Li, and no one dares to openly say what the family style of the Li family is, at most they are talking about one or two behind their backs." β
Qi Xuansu smiled and did not argue.
His cognition of the Li family is only at a very shallow level, it is nothing more than that Xuansheng is very powerful, Donghuang is very domineering, and now the Li family is huge, and he is ruthless, the head of the family, Li Changgeng, is a great true person of Taiping Dao, and Qingwei Zhenren is expected to win the throne of the Great Palm Sect, there is a son of the Li family named Li Tianzhen who is very domineering, Li Minghuang, who abandoned Zhang Yuyue, is the righteous son of the Li family, and there is a genius named Li Changge, who is suspected to have been piled up by the Li family with "Xuanyu".
Other than that, it's gone.
Qi Xuansu followed the Bodhisattva to a small courtyard, where many servants and clerks from the General Military Mansion were going in and out, some carrying boxes, and some taking down all kinds of archives and files on the shelves, sorting them into categories, and then putting them into boxes. The Bodhisattva's so-called "not idle" is just watching these people work, and there are really not many who need him to do it himself, but many of the archives here can't make the slightest mistake, and it can't be done if he doesn't stare at it.
The Bodhisattva commanded, "You should first send the boxes that have been packed to the storehouse, and then the rest will be sorted out tomorrow." β
"Yes." Several of the servants answered, and instead of touching the remaining files on the shelves, they went to carry the boxes.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but say: "My brother has the opportunity to grasp the government, and he is in such a hurry this time, is there any difficulty?" β
"It's not difficult, it's an enemy from many years ago who has reappeared, and I'm going to take revenge on him this time. If it goes well, it won't take long. If it doesn't go well, it's hard to say, it could be months or years. As for the worse scenario, which is to never return, who can say for sure? The Bodhisattva's tone was flat.
Although Qi Xuansu is a person who is accustomed to seeing life and death, but when he heard the Bodhisattva say this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, no wonder the Bodhisattva Man wanted to send his righteous daughter away through Qi Niang, to put it nicely, just in case, to say it ugly, it was to arrange the future in advance. If he can come back alive, he will bring the righteous daughter back. If he can't come back, he won't let his righteous daughter live on the streets.
After a brief explanation, the Bodhisattva finally said, "If you finish your work early, you can rest, and I will come over tomorrow to continue the work." β
All the servants answered the command.
Then the Bodhisattva Man led Qi Xuansu out of the side door of the General Soldier's Mansion and went to his residence, which was only one street away from the General Soldier's Mansion, a two-entry courtyard, except for the Bodhisattva himself, there was only his righteous daughter and two old servants.
After the Bodhisattva Man decided to leave the Longmen Mansion, he had already dismissed the two old servants, each with a hundred Taiping money, enough for them to settle down outside, and now only their father and daughter are left in the house.
Outside the house, the Bodhisattva stretched out his hand and drew a talisman that Qi Xuansu didn't recognize, and the brilliance on the door flashed, as if he had lifted some kind of formation, and then pushed the door in.
A young girl greeted her, about fourteen or fifteen years old, not a beautiful embryo, just a middle-aged appearance, but a pair of eyes that were very smart.
"Father-in-law." The girl shouted first, and her eyes fell on Qi Xuansu again, a little curious and a little afraid.
A faint smile appeared on the Bodhisattva's face: "This is my friend, you can call him ......"
"Wei Wugui." Qi Xuansu took the initiative to speak, "I'm a few years older, you can call me Brother Wei." β
"I've seen Uncle Wei." The girl saluted.
Qi Xuansu coughed a little embarrassed.
The difference of ten years is really okay to call my brother or uncle.
The Bodhisattva said: "If you start from Qi Niang, you are indeed a generation, but let's talk about each other, if you call me 'brother', she will naturally call you 'uncle'." β
Qi Xuansu could only nod. At the same time, I sighed in my heart that in a few years, it would be difficult to pretend to be a young man all day long.
After all, life is rare for seventy years, and after forty years of confusion, you can call yourself an "old man". At the age of thirty, you can be a husband, a father, start a family, and take no need as a fashion before the age of thirty, and after the age of thirty, you can grow a beard.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help touching his chin, beard, wife, children, he didn't have any of them, so Qi Niang said that he was a little single. In this way, compared with those women who married in their teens, Zhang Yuelu's age is not too young, no wonder Yutaiqiong is anxious to marry her.
At this time, Qi Xuansu didn't know that Zhang Yuelu was determined to be the heir by Cihang Zhenren, and he already had a great future, so he didn't have to worry about marriage anymore.
The Bodhisattva beckoned the girl to come over and introduced to Qi Xuansu: "Her surname is Liu, and her single name is the word 'lake', because she is still young and has no words, you are an elder, just call her Liuhu." β
Qi Xuansu nodded, and then got to the point: "Where do I need to send Liuhu?" β
The Bodhisattva said: "Go to the north and find some lips." β
Qi Xuansu was surprised and said, "Li Qingnu? β
The Bodhisattva was a little surprised, and said, "It seems that you know her, so it will save me a lot of words." This trip is divided into three sections, the first section is in charge of you, from Zhongzhou to Zhili. The second section was in charge of Li Qingnu, from Zhili to Youzhou. The third paragraph is in charge of the people on the Liaodong side. β
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly, feeling a hint of unusualness.
If he remembers correctly, the former head of Jiangnan Province was transferred to Liaodong after the Jiangnan case.
