Chapter six hundred and seventeen returning home

Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin have different personalities. Cheng Yaojin takes the fierce routine of marching, setting up formations, siege cities, and even robbing houses with a domineering and straightforward attitude. After robbing, he still tells you with confidence that this time he was not satisfied with it. If he saves more next time, he instantly feels that he has become his tenant for no reason. It is natural for the Cheng family to collect rent. I don’t know where this idea of ​​self-deprecating self-deprecating comes from.

Li Ji is different. Li Ji is more shameless. Even if you think about your things, you won’t rob them. You will only give a few sarcasm that is neither yin nor yang. When the person involved was sarcastic and was willing to give the things he was thinking about with both hands, Li Ji then looked unwilling to accept them. The person who gave the things inexplicably felt that he owed the boss the favor and wanted to send more to repay them...

They are all old foxes, and they all have strong strength to be humble. Li Su feels that dealing with these famous generals, Su Lao, etc. is too tiring. They basically cannot gain any advantage from these old killers. Every time they chat with them, they feel lost when they are looted.

Although they were all robbed, for some reason, Li Su always felt that Li Ji's way of cutting his soft knife to live makes him more happy?

Maybe she was infected by Li Zhi, and she felt that she was so mean...

He was born with a Confucian general and was burly and tough, but his face looked gentle and elegant, and he was well-read in poetry and books. This made people feel close to him, as if he was willing to interact with him, even if this relative smiled and robbed him.

It feels not good to ride on the horse. In addition to the bumps, what is even more uncomfortable is that the sides of the thighs are constantly grinding on the saddle as the horse's back rises and falls. If you ride for a day, blisters will definitely appear on the inner side of the thighs. The next day and the third day may bloom. A pampered and tender flesh like Li Su began to grin and endure it forcibly on the third day of the marching.

A black thing fell on Li Su's head, accompanied by a cold snorting disdain.

"Click it and put it on the saddle. It's very soft and very soft. It's said to be a young hero with both civil and military skills. It's so evil that it's been said outside. It's because you've never seen you ride a horse. The long-distance marching seems simple, but there are so many ways inside. You are enough to learn." Li Ji shook his beard and snorted.

The one that was received in Li Su's hand was a black bear skin, which was very thick and the whole skin was intact, without an arrow. It can be seen that the bear hunter's archery skills were amazing. Either hit the black bear's eyes directly or poked its... chrysanthemum?

He grinned at Li Ji with gratitude. Li Su stroked the bear skin with love for a while, and finally put it under his saddle. Li Ji smiled with satisfaction. Li Su's eyes were sharp and found that the guard leader beside Li Ji looked reluctant and wanted to speak, but he was slapped by Li Ji, and he lowered his head and kept silent.

Li Su couldn't help but feel more grateful. He could see that this bear skin was a treasured item by Li Ji. Perhaps this bear was hunted by him. Now he threw it away casually and threw it to himself as an ordinary thing. With a small action, he saw that Li Ji really treated Li Su as his junior.

They are all real people. Although the circle of powerful people is inevitably messy and complicated, these famous generals are very straightforward and heroic and treat others sincerely. Even the old hooligan surnamed Cheng, who is bullied in Chang'an, never disappointed Li Su when he asked him for help in the most difficult time.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, for your kindness, I feel ashamed." Li Su grinned at Li Ji.

The elders dare not refuse, and humility depends on the time and occasion. If Li Ji's treasured things are sent back by Li Suqian, they will be angry immediately. Li Su does not want to destroy the beautiful atmosphere in front of him.

Li Ji nodded with satisfaction, stroked his long beard, and slowly said, "I didn't interfere much in the Jinyang Rebellion. Is this what the above meaning? Your Majesty has a secret order, and you and His Highness the King of Jin will make a decision. However, I saw it from the beginning and ended up saying that you did a good job. If I changed to deal with this matter, I would probably not be so good. Whether it is a rioter or a clan, a large number of people will die. Perhaps the fire will add fuel to the fire and make the entire Jin area chaotic. You have not killed the rioters and have never taken action against the clans. There are both thunder means and sweet rains that will all be surrendered. I will quell the chaos. I am afraid that I am not as good as you..."

Li Su opened her mouth and was about to be modest, but she thought that Li Ji had taught her a lesson just now, so she had to agree and said, "Yes, yes, boy also thinks he is very good..."

Li Ji's face turned dark, took a deep breath, pressed the urge to suck him, and said slowly: "I was farting just now, kid, I should be humble when I should be humble."

Li Su hurriedly said, "Uncle Li is right, uncle is really acclaim. It's all because of the boy's luck and accidental misfortune."

Li Ji raised his eyebrows with great interest: "Humility also requires a pattern of modes. You can tell me what you are doing, otherwise it will be hypocritical. Tell me, how are you lucky?"

Li Su sighed: "This matter involves local family members of Jinyang, and even the seven sects and five surnames have participated. To be honest, when the boy left Chang'an under the order, he had such an idea... Now it is the prosperous era of Zhenguan, and it is of course a bit exaggerated, but it is undeniable that it is an era of monarchy, sages, wise men, civil and military affairs. The people of the people are simple and hardworking. No matter where they are, they praise the benevolence of the monarchy and ministers of Chang'an. Although there is a disaster every year,

Disasters are destined by heaven. You can’t push them to Your Majesty if you cause disaster, right? The people of the Tang Dynasty I know are not so unreasonable. Therefore, the rumors spread in Jinyang. First of all, I had doubts. The rumors suddenly spread in Jinyang. Behind them, there must be someone with great appeal and incitement and human resources. Let me ask, in Jinyang, who has such a skill to cover the sky besides the government?"

Li Ji narrowed his eyes: "So, since you left Chang'an, you have suspected that it was done by the clan?"

Li Su smiled and said, "I didn't expect that at that time, to be honest, I didn't dare to think. Uncle Li, you have more knowledge than the boy. Naturally, you know what kind of situation the aristocratic family was in the Tang Dynasty. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are giants? In times of trouble, people who climbed high and called each other must be among the aristocratic family. Even Emperor Gaozu and His Majesty had to be polite to the seven sects and five surnames after they established the country. I was just a small county marquis with no soldiers or generals. When I left Chang'an, I didn't dare to think about the aristocratic family. Until later, His Highness and King of Jin arrived in Jinzhou and saw someone spreading rumors among the people and inciting the people to fight against the government. At that time, the governor of Jinzhou was among the people. That scene finally made me doubt the aristocratic family..."

Shaking his head, Li Su sighed: "I am too bold and dare to openly incite deception in front of the governor. Ordinary small thieves or bandits and others have no courage and confidence to do this. Those who are thieves should be guilty when they see officials. How could they be so silly and green-headed and forced to fight against officials? So at that time, I felt that the chaos in Jin territory was probably not something that small thieves and refugees or bandits could do. There must be a force behind them that can compete with local governments, so that Jin territory would be in chaos."

Li Ji nodded, his eyes full of praise: "So, when you were in Jinzhou, you suspected that it was the family's actions? Then you decided to investigate the matter and find out the truth?"

Li Su sighed: "Uncle Li was wrong again... After I suspected that it might be the family's work, my first thought was to set off and return to Chang'an immediately... I was ruined and my majesty would remove me from my post at most, right? I won't be beheaded, right? But if I continue to investigate this matter, I may not even be able to keep my head..."

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, pointed at Li Su's nose and cursed, "I am a coward, I am planning to praise you for not being afraid of danger and not being panicked when encountering chaos. You will be deflated first. I can't say anything if I praise you all the time."

Li Su smiled and said, "Don't praise me, really, kids are actually just ordinary people. They have to be afraid when they should be afraid, and they have to run away. They have to be forgotten when they see profit. They have to be ashamed and blamed themselves for a while. They still live their lives as they live. They may continue to do it next time they should be forgotten when they see profit. There is actually no difference between kids and ordinary people."

Li Ji didn't know whether to praise or scold him. He pondered for a moment and sighed, "After all, he is a young man, he lives a real life and speaks it truthfully. Being a human being should be like this. Good people in the world also have bad habits, and bad people may not be really bad. There are more good places than bad places, so this person can be considered a good person. Since you wanted to run away at that time, why did you stay and decide to continue to go to Jinyang?"

Li Su sighed: "As Uncle Li said, the boy is not pure and bad, and it is not completely bad. This is the most failure of the boy in his life. At that time, the boy really wanted to run back to Chang'an, but... who told me that there was a King of Jin beside me? The boy was just a county marquis. He hid in advance and at most he would not eat this imperial grain, and the whole family would not starve to death. But if he left His Highness King of Jin, a child in his teens, could he expect him to quell the Jinyang Rebellion? Maybe even his life would be left in Jinyang, so the boy could not run away, and he should take His Highness King of Jin to run with him if he wanted to run away. His Highness King of Jin refused to run away, so the boy had to accompany him to Jinyang..."

Li Ji laughed: "Yes, it's not pure, it's not completely bad. It's just a person like you, who can't make it too high or low, and acts more than ordinary people. Since you can't bear to leave King Jin, you can see that you have more good places than bad places, and you can barely be considered a good person... Fortunately, you have you, even the magistrate of Jinyang County has found out. It's really not simple. How could you suspect officials in ordinary places? That's you."

Li Su smiled and said, "This is the bad side of the boy. Anyone should doubt anything first and then accept it. Don't praise him. The boy is ashamed... In fact, everything is luck. It is because he is too perfect. When I suspected him, I did a fool thing, and sent someone to burn and hoard grain. As for the later pulling out the Chen family in Qizhou, then the Wang family in Taiyuan, and using tricks to force Wang to pull out the Lu family in Fanyang, etc., as long as you open a hole in everything, all the doubts behind will naturally be unstoppable. In other words, thanks to Uncle Li's Bingzhou soldiers. The 20,000 soldiers under your command will be of great use. If it weren't for them, the boy would not dare to say anything even if he had evidence. At most, a memorial was sent to Chang'an and let Your Majesty solve it."

"The kindness and power are in harmony with Qifu. Zheng will use the military attack to intimidate the Wang family. Qi will use five thousand soldiers to pretend to be siege the city and force Wang Cheng to tell the truth. One Zheng and one Qi, you are very good at using it. It is worthy of being a real battle in Xizhou. Since you have used the troops, you have your own considerations. I am just following the order. You don't need to thank me. But you bullied the Wang family in Taiyuan this time, and I'm afraid...haha!"

Li Ji laughed loudly. Seeing Li Su's face full of bitterness, Li Ji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, kids, now it's the Li Tang Dynasty. Although the thousand-year-old family is powerful, it's just..."

As he said that, Li Ji suddenly sneered: "It's just that countless new powerful families have emerged on the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Their glory is just the past, and they can't be said to be the glory in the future. If the Wang family takes revenge on you, just come to find me, well... I calculated carefully that you may have a lot of backers in Chang'an. The bandits of Cheng's family are as close as you, Niu Jinda is your crown winner, Li Yaoshi, Duan Zhixuan, King Wu, King Jin, and that princess... Humph! The fence-like thing, when you see people, you shouted "Uncle and Uncle" quietly, you have so many backers! If the Wang family first asked about your details in Chang'an, they would definitely not dare to touch you in the future."

He hummed twice, and Li Ji lowered his voice and said, "The clans are powerful, and it is a disaster for the Tang Dynasty. I only say this to you, please relax. Your Majesty's fear is also clear. All families are also aware of it. In recent years, you are a capable minister in front of Your Majesty, and you are extremely proud of your holy people. They are not stupid people and dare not attack you."

Li Su blinked: "Yes, the boy has been taught. If someone chases me in Chang'an City in the future, the boy must first run to Uncle Li's mansion to hide, and ask Uncle Li to save the boy."

Li Ji was stunned, then a horse whip whip on Li Su's back and cursed: "A bastard, the car is coming to Cheng's house with all the wine and green vegetables. When you encounter trouble, you will know that you are going to my husband's house. Are you talking about human words? Change it! Good things are sent to my house, but someone chased and ran to Cheng's house. The Cheng family, one, six and six, are a total of seven big and small men, which is enough to save your life."

Sighing, Li Ji stared at Li Su up and down for a while, and said, "It's strange, why did you suddenly appear in a few years ago? Your background has been heard that you are from an ordinary farmer in Taiping Village. I heard that your mother died prematurely. You were raised by your father. Your father is an old farmer who doesn't know how to write a word "fight". It's impossible to teach you such a slick and dirty person. You write poems and make wine and make thunder. When fighting and defending the city and solving cases, you seem to be born to know how to do some things. You do better than us veterans who have experienced a lot of storms. I'm really strange. What kind of upbringing does your family have?"

"Floating clouds are all floating clouds. The boy is very skilled and can only play a little cleverness and cannot get on the table. Only this cleverness will one day rain and strong winds blow everywhere. There is no one in the wild, a lightning thunder thunder happened to hit the boy's forehead, so..."

Li Ji interrupted him, and slowly said with murderous aura: "I'll talk nonsense in front of me again, I'm really sucking you."

After a pause, Li Ji smiled at him and said, "In the past, I didn't have much contact with you. During the New Year Festival, you just gave some gifts to the mansion. After a while, I left. This time, I got along well with you and admired you more and more. When you received the gift from Jinyang, I was unable to attend the ceremony. I heard that those old men went to your mansion to watch the ceremony. After returning to Chang'an, I took some time to go to your mansion to see it. It is said that there is a big bathing pool for your family, and the food in your Li family is also a master of Chang'an. Even Your Majesty sent the imperial chef to your home to learn. I have never been to your home, but I want to learn it."

Li Su smiled and said, "Uncle Li is here to visit the humble house. The boy must sweep the bed and welcome him. You can come at any time, and the boy will definitely satisfy Uncle Li..."

After a pause, Li Su suddenly thought of the character of these old killers, so he added: "That... the boy is useless. There is no Kabuki in the humble house. If you want to listen to some sounds and watch some movements, uh... Please bring Kabuki yourself."

Li Ji was stunned for a moment before he came back to his taste. He was so angry that he raised his whip in his hand. He was waiting to whip him, and suddenly heard a loud shout in front of him.

"I'm here in Chang'an! I'm here in Chang'an!" (To be continued.)
