Chapter Twenty-Six: The City of Sun
As soon as the girls were setting up a meal in Wang Li's house, Sun Tong suddenly passed the word that someone wanted to see the master. Wang Li went out and saw a small guy and a burly man in black, and the man saw Wang Li and went straight to the point and said: "You are Wang Li? Taishou wants to see you, you immediately follow me to see Taishou." β
Wang Li was speechless, who is talking so impulsively, although I am not a famous mansion, if you want me to come out to see you, even if you want me to come out to see you, I won't say hello in advance, and now you want me to go to see Taishou?
"What are you doing when you want to see me?"
"Taishou sees that you have your own important business, if you don't clean it up, go with me now. β
I really kicked my nose in the face, and looked at the carriage behind the man, Wang Li wondered in his heart why the old man Liu was in such a hurry to call me to go, I didn't eat this meal.
"You wait for me to finish eating......"
"I'll wait for you here for half a cup of tea. β
". Wang Weizhong scolded angrily, looked at the burly figure of the man in front of him who was a head taller than him, and snorted: "You are waiting for me here, don't run around." β
I went back and explained a few words to Sun Tong and Gao Fu, changed my clothes, and went out with the man. When he arrived at Liu's mansion, he was led to the main hall by the little servant, and when he saw Liu Yan sitting on a circle chair next to a coffee table, Wang Li couldn't help but complain: "What's so urgent? β
Liu Yan didn't joke with Wang Li this time, put the letterhead on the coffee table, and motioned for him to look at it. Wang Li saw that something was wrong with this old man today, and he was puzzled, so he picked up the letterhead and looked at it.
This is a letter from Cao Mingwang to Liu Yan, which was slightly scribbled by the Yang Jinglu, and it seems to have been written in a hurry. Wang Li read it carefully and roughly understood what he meant.
In addition to Qingzhou, there are traces of real people in many places, and Cao Mingwang is afraid that something will happen, so he sends troops to strictly guard the palace in Yang. There are still some words in the back that are broken, there should be a second letter, but Liu Yan didn't show it to Wang Li.
Wang Li looked at Liu Yan, it's normal, it's all strictly guarded, could it be that something can happen to a real person?
Liu Yan stared at Wang Li and said: "The day before yesterday, you told me that there was a real person in Yucheng, but I still didn't believe it, so I asked the Waiyalin County Cheng to inspect it, and I really found a lot of things." β
Wang said bizarrely: "What's the matter, have you caught that big real person?"
"Hmph, I asked him to go to the East Mine to investigate, those miners were killed by the Tribulus Terrestris Heavy Hammer, this kind of weapon is commonly used by real people. Later, I went into the market from the vicinity of Wang Dacheng's house and asked, and there were indeed people who saw a few people with strange hair, which was almost certainly a real person, so it was sent to Cao Anfu to investigate the situation in other prefectures, and the results were as expected. β
Wang said bizarrely: "Then why don't you arrest them?
Liu Yan slowly stood up, put on the letterhead, and said, "Catch? It's so scattered, one in the east and one in the west, how can you catch it? You have already run away before you can do it." In a few days, Liedao Enke will release the list, His Majesty is going to set up a ceremony to pick talents, those real people must not be well-intentioned, it is not easy to catch them now, you might as well catch them all at that time. β
Wang Li had a headache when he heard this, he was hungry at this time, why did he go so far.
"Then why did Taishou call me over in a hurry? Is that what he told me? I can't help!"
Liu Yan became old and indecent again, smiled hehe, and said, "You can help, you have to go to Laiyang with me today." β
"What?
Wang Li exploded, "What am I going to do, going into battle to kill the enemy? β
Liu Yan took the shelf and snorted coldly: "I am Taishou, and the requisition of militia is also a power, this is an order!" Seeing Wang Li's face darkened, his heart was happy, "But the task is arduous, and you have other things to do." Shun Jian, are the carriages ready?"
The strong man in black said, "I'm already waiting outside the door." β
"Well, Prince Wang, let's go on the road. Liu Yan patted his sleeve and stretched out his hand to signal Wang Li to follow him, Wang Li looked at Liu Yan incredulously, are all officials so shameless?
"No, Liu Taishou, I didn't eat this meal, I didn't bring any luggage, you let me ......"
"Eh, what's wrong with the young man's hunger, you don't need to bring your luggage, your clothes won't be missing, it's less than four hundred miles between Yiyang and Yucheng, we're going now, a little urgent, and we can arrive at noon tomorrow." β
Liu Yan looked at Wang Li's bitter face, and said with a smile: "Wang Gongzi's visit is a hundred benefits and no harm, I won't harm you." Don't gossip, Shun Jian, you send someone to the prince's mansion to explain clearly, let's set off now. β
The man in black received the order, went out and ordered a servant to explain, and led the way for Wang Li and Liu Yan.
Wang Li went out of the Taishou Mansion from the side door, got into an inconspicuous carriage, and saw the strong man following him coldly without saying a word, Wang Li was uncomfortable.
When the three of them got into the carriage, the man sat on the weighing board and whipped up.
Wang Li didn't want to pay attention to the old man of the pit, stuck his head out of the carriage, and asked casually, "Hey, what do you call your brother?"
The man ignored Wang Li and drove south.
Wang Li didn't care either, and continued: "Brother Shunjian, how do you practice this tendon and meat, have you practiced it since you were a child? Does the Shunjian Brotherhood know martial arts? It is the kind of ...... that jumps several feet high, holds the power of the palm in the air, and takes the head of the general among the enemies of ten thousand troops."
Liu Yan twitched his old face when he heard it, grabbed Wang Li, and said: "You are telling a story, Shun Jian is the righteous son of Sheng Xuangong, and his martial arts are naturally superb, so don't mess around." β
Pouting his lips, Wang Xingzhi knew that the election was Cao Mingwang, Cao Mingwang was shengxuan, and it was clearly written in that letter. Wang Li thought of this, and couldn't help but look at the old man in front of him, and said in his heart that he had a good relationship with the pacification envoy of Yizhou, and the words of the letter from the grand election were also quite modest, this old man is not simple!
The three of them hurried on the road, from noon to sunset, and it was already dark. The carriage was bumpy, and the tired trio spent the night repairing at the post station. Before dawn on the second day, Wang Li, who was in a daze, was dragged up by Liu Yan and hurried, and finally arrived at Yiyang at the end of the middle and late corners.
Shun Jian showed his body when he crossed the city gate, and the three of them entered the city smoothly.
Although there was only one day's journey in total, although Wang Li practiced some "Thousand Medicine Immortal Prescriptions", which led the aura into his body, and he was not afraid of the heat of summer, he still couldn't bear this toss, so he was listless, and he didn't care about the scenery of Laiyang.
Liu Yan was used to sitting in the carriage, and when he saw Wang Li's decadent appearance, he said, "You are young and strong, why are you not as good as me, a half-dead old man?"
Wang Li snorted coldly and did not speak. After figuring out the old man's temperament, he was much more casual.
Liu Yan smiled, touched his beard and said, "When you arrive at Cao's Mansion, I will make proper arrangements for you, which can be regarded as an apology for the old man." β
Wang said bizarrely: "Go to Caofu, old man Liu, this is all in Xianyang, can you tell me what is the matter?"
Liu Yan said: "Don't worry, don't worry." β
Rolled his eyes, half lying on the seat, I don't know how long it was bumpy again, I heard Shun Jian shouting outside the carriage, the carriage slowly stopped, Wang Li got up and asked, "Have you arrived?"
Shun Jian jumped off the weighing board, took a sedan chair to help Liu Yan get out of the car, Wang Li jumped out of the carriage, and saw a mansion along the east side of the street, which was so large that it occupied most of the street. There are many cars and horses in front of the door, small guys are dotting, or attracting customers, or leading horses, whether they are good or not, they can take a dime of broken silver, so although they are a little arrogant, they can't get down with a smile.
Seeing Shun Jian with sharp eyes, a small guy came up and shouted "Uncle Guan", Shun Jian said: "This is Cao Shuaisi's acquaintance, Yucheng Buling Zhishou Liu Taishou, you will take the horse to the horse pen to feed the forage, I will take Liu Taishou to see Cao Shuaisi." β
The little guy received the order, and he was not surprised when he heard that it was the Yucheng Bu Ling Zhishou, and he was not surprised that there were so many giant officials who had visited Cao Mansion in the past few days, and he had long been used to it.
Wang Li followed Shun Jian into the gate, the inner verandah was ringed, the pavilion was there, Wang Li was dazzled, in comparison, his own small courtyard was shabby.
settled down, sighed at the decay of feudalism, and walked through the instrument door with Liu Yan and went straight into an ear room.
Shun Jian asked Liu Yan to wait here for a moment or two, and he went to inform Cao Mingwang.
Wang Li and the two of them found a chair to sit on, and there was a servant serving tea, Wang Li took a sip, the taste was not bad, and it was refreshing.
After Shun Jian left, before it was time to burn incense, an old man wearing a purple robe, slightly shorter, and fifty-year-old man walked into the room, followed by Shun Jian.
This old man is slightly thin, with a long white beard, thick eyebrows, and a very imposing appearance.
Wang Li thought that it should be Cao Mingwang.
When the old man saw Liu Yan, he laughed and said, "Clumsy, don't come to harm!"
Liu Yan also laughed.
Cao Mingwang looked at Wang Li, Wang Li got up and said, "Wang Li has seen Cao An's envoy. β
"Well, there's no need to be polite. Cao Mingwang asked Wang Li to sit down and said, he found a chair on Liu Yan's right and sat down, "What a young hero, old and old." β
"Haha, you Cao Shengxuan waved his army north and went straight to the North Night Mansion, eighteen years ago, he was also high-spirited and unstoppable, why are you crying old now?" Liu Yan laughed when he heard this.
Cao Mingwang shook his head, waved his hand and said, "The merry will go, the merry will go!"
Wang Li hadn't eaten for half a day, and he was pulled up and hurried away in the early hours of this morning, and his stomach was really hungry. Seeing that Liu Yan on the side was not hungry, he and the old man bragged wildly, speechless in their hearts, and said that they would treat me well when they arrived at Cao's Mansion, okay, now they don't care about the food.
Although he is familiar with Liu Yan, he is neither big nor small, but now in Cao Mingwang's mansion, the two are talking, and Wang Li can't interject, so he has to wait with hunger.
Cao Mingwang saw that he was a military attachΓ©, and his speech was different from Liu Yan's, and he was extremely arrogant, but he was more refined than ordinary military attachΓ©s. Shun Jian stood behind Cao Mingwang, straight and straight, without saying a word.
"This is like a righteous son, a guard. β
Wang Li suffered from Shun Jian's cold face all the way, and seeing that he was also this virtue by Cao Mingwang's side, his heart was quite weird.
"Master Li Dian's arrived. β
The two old men were talking happily, and the door outside suddenly shouted their names and surnames, and a man in a narrow shirt in green clothes strode into the study, saw Liu Yan hurriedly saluting, and said loudly: "Why did I leave the prince of Shengxuan to drink through the hall alone, I came to see Liu Zhuoxiang." The immortal lost his salute, and he had seen a clumsy appearance. β
Wang Li saw the appearance of the man, looking at the age of thirty, but the phoenix eyes and eyebrows, the face was white and beardless, and he was extremely handsome. I thought that since I came to this big Yao, I have seen a lot of beautiful men, but I haven't seen a few beautiful women, it's really sad.
Liu Yan smiled and said: "The old decay has long since resigned, and now it's just the Jade City Taishou, and the immortal stream can't be called wrong, haha." β
Wang Li pouted, he was still old, he was really not ashamed, in private, the old man screamed so hard, and he took advantage of others, no wonder he couldn't go down.
After chuckling a few times, the man saw Wang Li and wondered, "Who is this?"
Liu Yan introduced: "Oh, this prince is my old friend, surnamed Wang, and his single name is out of character. β
Hearing that he was asked, Wang Li did not dare to be ambiguous, and stood up to salute.
Liu Yan said to him: "This is the scholar of Chongwendian, Li Yunchuan, Li Xianliu. β
Li Yunchuan, Wang Weizhong knew that he and Yao Wanxue found the best smoke Luo Yu in the mine that night, Yao Yanxue once said that Da Yao had three pieces of the best Yan Luo Yu, one of which was on the body of the Li scholar with the jade bone of the wind god in front of him.
"I've seen Master Li Dian. β
"Wang Li, but Wang Li, who wrote 'Who dares to settle the storm?'" Li Yunchuan became interested, found a circle chair and sat down, and asked sideways.
"Hahahaha, it's him. Liu Yan laughed.
Although I don't know what the name of that word is, reading it makes people's blood rage, and I feel like I hate the pen and join the army. Little brother Wang Li, I don't know what your inscription is? Have you ever been to the frontier?"
