Guanshan is stormy.

So it was before, and so it is today.

Since a thunderstorm exploded over Langcheng last night, the sky has just brightened today, and dark clouds have covered the sky, blocking the sun, and continuous rain has fallen.

Although it has something to do with the beginning of autumn, this rain inevitably falls too often.

There were only three days of autumn and two rains, only one day apart.

Li Xiu had already left Guanshan, and the time was very tight, so he couldn't delay, so he naturally left overnight.

"The drizzle is continuous, such a scene is the most suitable for sitting at home for a drink, but you and I have to hurry, don't you live up to God's good intentions?"

Walking around the road from Guanshan to Gusu City, Lu Qinghou held a paper umbrella hanging above his head to block the wind and rain, shaking his head and sighing as he walked.

"Let's go, what's so much nonsense?"

Bai Yutang glanced at him, and he didn't see an umbrella to cover it, and the rain slid down from the top of his head to the sides, and not a drop fell on his body.

"Lao Bai, what you said is not right, Zi once said, be happy, sit and be happy, and be happy, the road is boring, and it is even more boring to die, if you don't find a fun or two on the way, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing?"

Xiucai shook his head, and the scarf on his head moved with him, although he was talking about death, there was no fear on his face.

It's like drinking water and eating, just do whatever you want.

"Walk and sit and relax?"

Bai Yutang muttered again and then asked with a little sarcasm: "Which one said it, why haven't I heard it?"

Thinking that he Baiyutang is also from a famous family, he is a well-educated person, although he is far from reading the world like Li Xiu, but he is quite proficient in books.

Lu Qinghou couldn't help but be suffocated when he heard this, and smiled: "Lu Zi said." ”

"Donkeys also understand human language?"

Bai Yutang sneered again, and then laughed and turned into a cloud of green smoke and disappeared into the rain.

Xiucai's face turned pale, and he quietly disappeared into the mountains with a paper umbrella in his hand.

The rain was pouring down, but there were no two people on the road.

......

Chang'an City is as prosperous and lively today as ever, this is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, even if there are many disputes in the world, it is also the safest place.

The people at the gates of the city never stop coming and going.

There was one visitor after another.

It is only two or three days before the end of the sea of books, and the people of the Huangzhou and the demon clan have naturally never left, and most of them are still in the academy.

Li Xiu rode into the city gate

, Xu Yingxiu sat on horseback and held a white umbrella for him.

I didn't have any intention of staying, and I didn't go to the East Palace or Chenliu Palace.

If it is not important, he must not ride a horse, Li Xiu used to dismount and walk into the city, but today he sat on horseback and never went down, and the sergeants who patrolled the city in the past only glanced at it lightly when they saw this, pretending not to see.

The horse stopped in front of the Taibai Building, and Li Xiu walked in and carried two large jars of red burning knives out, and then rode out of the city gate on horseback and walked out of the city.

These two jars of wine are very heavy, adding up to about seventy or eighty catties, enough for an ordinary person to drink for more than several months.

Although this weight is nothing to him and the big dark horse, it doesn't look good in the hand after all, so it's better to put it in the ring.

It's just that Li Xiu didn't do that, he held it with his hands and was expressionless.

After only ten steps out of the city gate, Li Xiu stopped his horse and looked down at a person not far in front of him.

The man was dressed in an official robe, standing in the heavy rain, not sheltering from the rain, already soaking wet, and obviously had waited for a long time.

Entering and exiting the city are not at the same gate.

Although the man's clothes were wet, his face was unwavering, his face was full of fortitude, and his tiger eyes were embarrassed even in the heavy rain.

"General Fan. ”

Li Xiu looked at him and called softly.

This person is the brother of Fan Wujian who did not take a step back in Xuzhou at the beginning, Fan Wujiao.

When Li Xiu wanted to kill Concubine Yang in Mulin Garden, Fan Wuyi stood behind him without hesitation, this is a righteous person.

is also a trustworthy person, so Li Xiu stopped the dark horse and lowered his eyes.

Fan Wuyi looked at Li Xiu, with a little softness in his tiger eyes, he is a person in the army, it is no exaggeration to say that seventy percent of the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom are from Li Laizhi's command, and two percent of them all respect Li Shuai.

Only Yicheng does not respect Li Laizhi.

"Xuzhou Fan is not to blame, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

He saluted respectfully to Li Xiu, never overstepping or disrespecting.

Li Xiu looked at him and asked, "What is the important thing that Lord Fan came here in the rain?"

Hearing this, Fan Wuyi straightened up, looked directly into Li Xiu's eyes, and said loudly: "I'm incompetent, I can't do anything big, but I can still do it when I come to see His Highness on the next trip." ”

Are you waiting?

Li Xiu frowned slightly, and then saw more than seventy people walking out from behind the trees on both sides, standing neatly behind Fan Wuji, all dressed in official robes, all of them were ministers of the DPRK and China.

More than 70 people stood in the rain and saluted Li Xiuqi

After straightening up, his whole body was already drenched in rain, and he was wet up and down.

Xu Yingxiu got off the dark horse, the two jars of wine disappeared from his hands, and Li Xiu followed the dark horse.

The eyes of more than seventy people fell on him.

Not the slightest move away from the slightest.

Li Xiu fell silent, and the drizzle fell on his head, not obscuring.

After a moment, he bowed down and bowed to the more than seventy officials who met him, and it took a long time to straighten up.

Many officials were breathing a little short, and many people's eyes began to turn red.

"I would like to send you off His Royal Highness. ”

The sound of neat shouts shook the rain in the sky, and the six sergeants at the city gate knelt far behind them, and the people stopped and watched.

Looking at the dozens of people in front of him, Li Xiu's face showed a rare smile.

"I'm just going through the motions, not to die, what are you doing with such a big scene?"

He led the horse forward, intending to skip the matter in the midst of a joke.

Fan Wuyi didn't move, and the more than 70 court officials didn't move.

The defending sergeant kneeling behind him did not move.

So Li Xiu stopped and fell silent again.

I don't know how long it took, but the rain in the sky gradually became heavier.

"I'm not going to die, no matter what time it is. ”

Li Xiu's gaze circled around the faces of these people and said seriously.

The crowd quieted down, Fan Wuyi took out a bowl from the ring and handed it to the person behind him, then took out a jar of wine and poured it into the bowl, and then took out another bowl and walked towards the second person.

Until more than 70 people in the field, each holding a bowl of wine in their hands.

He turned around and stared at Li Xiu, raising the big bowl in his hand, the rain was pouring down, and he didn't know if it was rain or wine in the bowl.

"Your Highness, and drink. ”

He stooped down and bowed, then raised his head and drank the rain from the bowl, and then fell to the ground hard.

I just heard a soft snap.

Then more than 70 people made a big salute to Li Xiu again.

"Your Highness, drink this wine to your heart's content. ”

The sound of cups and bowls shattering was endless, and Li Xiu also took out a bowl of wine and held it high in front of him, then raised his head and drank it all.

There was a sudden wind, and it swept up the rain.

"I'm waiting to send you off Your Highness. ”

More than 70 people made this gift for the third time, but this time no one looked up.

A choked voice came faintly.

Fan Wuyi's eyes were red.
