Chapter 607: Intent
Quack ~~Quack Quack ~~~
The sky was misty and shining, the first autumn golden sun shone on the water of the hibiscus pool, sprinkled with sparkling waves, the flocks of ducks wandering in the reeds flapped their wings and played in the water and neighed, and soon, a sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, towards the Wanshou Guanguan attic that stood in the morning sun.
Jingle Bell......
Wind chimes sway gently at the corners of the eaves.
The sun shone into the window lattice, Lu Liangsheng sat on the edge of the bed and stretched his arms, and saw the short figure of the window sill sitting there with his legs hanging down, looking at the rising sun outside.
"Master, why did you get up so early today?"
The toad, which was immersed in a piece of gold, drooped his eyelids and turned his face slightly: "As a teacher, I can't sleep..... As soon as I woke up, I felt a sore back, as if I had been pressed by someone for a night, maybe I had taken too much medicine. ”
Lu Liangsheng looked at the master's confused appearance, worried about whether the dream pill he had refined would have other effects, but after thinking about it, the master could eat the corpse qi as a snack, and there should be no problem with just a few pills, so he turned around and put on his robe, and the sound of footsteps and human voices sounded outside the window lattice.
"I'm waiting to see the National Teacher. ”
The toad who was sitting on the windowsill glanced at it, turned his face to the side of the screen and shouted, "Liangsheng, looking for you." ”
Behind the screen, which has the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Lu Liangsheng poked out his head, tied his belt, walked to the window lattice to tie up his hair, and passed the Fa sound outside.
"Get up and speak. ”
A row of half-kneeling soldiers below looked up in astonishment, but did not see the national teacher himself, but the voice lingered in his ears, as if he was in front of him, bowed respectfully, and stood up straight.
In a moment, the door of the attic hall on the opposite side opened by itself, and on the wooden ladder directly opposite the inside, a scholar in a water-patterned light blue robe walked down and looked at them with a smile.
"What are you looking for me?"
"Qi Qi National Teacher, two hundred and twelve orphans are already in the palace, and the National Teacher is also invited to move. As he spoke, the man at the head looked left and right, took two steps closer, and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty is also here." ”
Lu Liangsheng was slightly stunned, then he figured out the joints, laughed, and asked them to go back to report first, and then he arrived, and said a few more words, sent away this group of people, went back to the room to wash up, had breakfast, and looked at the toad Taoist who was still sitting on the windowsill.
"Master, do you want to join me in the Chang'an Mansion?"
"Don't go, bask in the sun again for the teacher. The toad Taoist raised his frog webbing and waved it at the apprentice behind him, looking at the golden morning sun, yawning whimfully, and saying that he was prostrate down and coiled into a lump, raising the pimple behind him.
Seeing that the toad didn't leave, Lu Liangsheng had to go there alone, as for Honglian and Qiyou, the second daughter disappeared early in the morning, and she secretly ran outside to go shopping before dawn.
After packing up, I greeted the eight big men holding iron locks in the square outside, and then went out of the mountain gate, got on the standing carriage, passed through the bustling market, and came to the Chang'an Mansion between the East Market and the West Market.
"Why are you so strict today, do you know what's going on?"
“...... Before dawn in the morning, when I got up to empty the urine bucket, I saw a group of children being escorted inside, looking quite miserable. ”
"A bunch of kids are also in trouble?"
"Probably not, how can there be so many children who commit crimes together, I feel like I have no relatives, and I look strange and pitiful. ”
"Don't talk about it, let me say, my wife's cousin's second uncle was on an errand inside, and he spent the night at my house last night, and when he was drinking, I heard him say that the Wanshouguan on the other side of the hibiscus pool led a group of orphans to the imperial court, all of whom suffered at home and lost their fathers and mothers. ”
"Ouch, that national teacher can be regarded as having done a great thing. ”
"Isn't it..... If you can enter the concept of longevity, how can you be full of food and clothing. ”
In the buzzing noisy whispering, the carriage from afar passed through the street and stopped at the gate of the mansion, Lu Liangsheng lifted the curtain and came down, and the soldiers of the imperial city guarding the door naturally recognized this scholar, straightened his chest, and put away the weapon in his hand, which was a neat and neat sound.
Lu Liangsheng walked straight into the door of the mansion, there were still many patrolling soldiers in the past, or guarding everywhere, seeing the scholars who came in, his face couldn't help but show a little excitement, and he leaned forward slightly, probably thinking that getting closer to the Taoist master could make him blessed.
"National Teacher!"
"I've seen the national teacher!"
In a low greeting, Lu Liangsheng responded with a smile and nodded, and in the courtyard in front of him, what entered the field of vision were unkempt children, old and young, standing in several rows in ragged clothes, looking timidly at the soldiers and servants with knives and sticks around him, and his skinny body was trembling.
The morning breeze swept through the courtyard, and the leaves fluttered and fell.
Lu Liangsheng looked at the timid little faces in front of him, and the spell quietly cast his palm to caress the top of these children's heads.
"Don't be afraid, you'll all have a home in the future. ”
Somehow, the children only felt warm in their hearts, raised their little faces, and the previous hesitation and uneasiness gradually dissipated, just staring at the soft-spoken scholar in front of them in a daze.
But he still didn't dare to speak.
"National Teacher!"
Not far away, Yang Guang's voice sounded in the open hall door in front of him, Lu Liangsheng turned his gaze away from the child with a smile, looked over there, shook off his sleeves, went over to give a salute, and was immediately invited by the emperor in regular clothes to sit down.
The two of them entered the room and sat down, and the Fu Yin waved his hand to let the subordinates watch the tea, and then retreated, leaving only His Majesty and the national teacher in the hall.
After taking a sip of tea, Yang Guang opened his mouth first: "National teacher, these children can all cultivate the Tao?"
Lu Liangsheng looked at the children who had lost their parents outside, and when he heard the emperor's words, he pursed his lips and shook his head.
"No, in the previous letter submitted to His Majesty, the minister also mentioned that the ministers plan to teach them the magic to deal with demons and monsters in this group of children. ”
"Sorcery is not monasticism?"
"Your Majesty, the two are not to be confused. Lu Liangsheng explained: "In fact, it is not much different from the martial arts learned by the chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes, the moves are moves, and the internal skills are internal skills. ”
With so many orphans who have lost their parents, how could Lu Liangsheng not know that there are actually fish and eyes inside, otherwise the emperor would have run out of the palace and look for him for this matter?
Of course, he also has to speak beautifully, these children of mixed families, whether they can persist depends on their ability, as for the cultivation method, when he came in, he had actually already found out, and none of them were qualified.
On the other side, Yang Guang, as the emperor, couldn't hear Lu Liangsheng's words, and arched his hand: "The national teacher has worked hard for my Great Sui, please accept my worship." ”
"Your Majesty, no. ”
Lu Liangsheng got up and went over, and supported the emperor who was about to bow down, "The minister is the minister of the Great Sui, and it is my duty as a national teacher to raise a group of capable people and strangers for the people of the world, and to cut off the demons and monsters that cause trouble." ”
After picking up Yang Guang, he said something with him, and then turned the conversation: "By the way, Your Majesty is on a private visit, just to come and see these children?"
"No, I'm here, in fact, I'm here to tell the national teacher a happy event. Yang Guang thought of the message he received last night, his face couldn't be suppressed, and he was quite excited: "I don't know, the national teacher didn't know that the military report came from the northwest last night, and the front battle was a great victory, and the first battle gave me a face, and I didn't sleep all night last night ...... I was happy."
Since ascending the throne, everything has been restrained by Yang Su, the prince of Yueguo, everywhere, and now that the first battle of independence has been won, how can he not be happy, so that the prestige has accumulated, and there will be a lot less advice to do other things in the future.
“...... In a few days, I will also go to the northwest, I may not be able to reach Tuyuhun, I will supervise the battle in the land of Xipu, if I can take Tuyuhun, I can finally be like my father, and there will be no more irresponsible opinions. ”
After tasting the sweetness of the emperor, Lu Liangsheng naturally would not persuade or say something that touched his head, and after dealing with a few words at will, he took his leave and left, and Fu Yin also asked the messenger to lead more than 200 orphans to Wanshouguan to assist in the placement.
Two days later, outside Chang'an City, the embarrassed Taoist took the little black-faced Mingyue and hurried with a spell, and finally arrived in this giant city, found a place to clean, and walked into the city.
