39. Offering Treasures
Yang Hao stayed in Lingzhou for thirteen days, and settled inside and outside, and then moved his troops to Xia Sui. Xia Sui currently has nearly 20,000 troops and horses in the four wings of Zheng Huatai's Sui De Army, and the food and grass were not enough. Yang Hao lived for five days and then moved his troops to Xiao Chang'an. 8√1 Chinese website
Little Changan has now been expanded into a big city with as many as 30,000 residents, but all the surrounding walls were demolished. Yang Hao was accidentally moved. When he visited the old place, he did not forget to bring Li Qing with him. Li Qing was wearing a narrow-sleeved shirt, her body was curvy, wearing a cloak, and jumping on a horse and whipping, looking elegant. Yang Hao walked with her side and did not allow Dongfang Lan to follow him. Dongfang Lan had to follow him with Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu and Tang Yu followed twenty feet behind, and the other guards and flower guards followed him with knives. Jin Taoyin, Tang Yu walked with Dongfang Lan, clamped him in the middle, and monitored his every move.
When she traveled around the mountains and rivers every day, the flower guards saw that the princess was slowly changing. In the first few days, she was a little reluctant and absent-minded when she went out for a tour. She soon became cheerful. She had the joys, sorrows and joys of ordinary people. Although sometimes she was moody and casual, sometimes she was depressed and sad, she ignored anyone's words, and did not see anyone. Sometimes she would get up in the middle of the night to greet everyone drinking, singing and dancing. Sometimes she would feel depressed and sit alone for a while and feel speechless. She was lazy and had no energy to do anything.
Among the people, Jin Taoyin followed Li Qing the longest, witnessing the ups and downs of the Huayiwei, and also witnessing the whole process of the princess going from innocent and sentimental to a simple and ignorant girl to a depressed and sad young woman. She said to the sisters: "The princess seems to be ten years younger and has returned to the innocent and romantic past." Everyone tried to find the reasons for this change, talking nonstop, Jin Taoyin kept listening with a smile, siping the tea in small mouthfuls, never saying a word.
They said they were tired, but they still couldn't find the reason. At this time, Tang Yu said, "Who of us has been with the princess for the longest time, she must know the reason." Then everyone remembered Jin Taoyin, surrounded her, made trouble for her, bowed to her, begged her to give advice, and relieved her doubts. Jin Taoyin was so entangled by them that she had no choice but to say, "We will talk about it privately today. If anyone spreads it, I will not rely on it." Everyone swore to say that it would never be spread.
Jin Taoyin then said, "Look, our princess is thinking about spring when she sees spring, and her heart is pissed."
Then everyone suddenly realized that afterwards, they all expressed their foresight. This said: "I have seen this a long time ago. Since Yang Hao forced his master out of the city, I guess he was ill-intentioned." The said: "It's not that there is a ghost in his heart. He is a great commander, and he will pester our master every day. No matter how old the official is, this man is a virtue." Someone said: "No wonder, I said that the master suddenly became very different from before. It turned out that someone stole the heart, raised it and pretended it back. How could this kind of person with heart be the same as a heartless person?"
The one with the biggest voice shouted, "Since you have a love and a lot of intentions, why don't we help our master Yucheng? Look at what life has the master lived over the years."
Everyone was shouting in a whisper. Tang Yu suddenly saw someone's feet outside the curtain, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly lifted the curtain and walked out. He was just seeing Li Qing standing outside angrily, with white, red and black on his pretty face, which was really shady. Tang Yu hugged her with a smile and pushed out. When he arrived at the door, Li Qing angrily scolded: "Maid is rude! Who asked you to chew the root of my tongue behind your back? Believe it or not, I will cut off all your tongue?"
Tang Yu hurriedly remissed and said, "If it were two days ago, they would not dare to say anything. Now it was because the head of the family was working, so he was arrogant. The princess really made up his mind. I turned around and cut their tongues one by one, so that they could not chew them up." Li Qing said, "Don't look at me and give you a few days to have a good face. I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. I have never done cutting people's tongues. Your head, I will do a lot when I was young. Go to Chang'an City to inquire, who doesn't know the bad reputation of my Princess Yichun."
Tang Yu accompanied him and said carefully: "You don't need to inquire. I know that the maid heard that Marshal Yang was a famous demon king in Chang'an City. He dared to provoke anyone. He had great magical powers. However, when he saw the head of the family, he was like a mouse or a cat, his claws were numb. He made the head of the family obey just by saying a word. With this ability alone, he could think of the head of the family's glory back then. Now he has become the commander of the Khitans and the commander of the president to control the five armies in three sides. But when he saw the head of the family, wasn't he still trembling as if he was walking on thin ice, as if he was in the abyss."
Li Qing laughed and scolded: "Why haven't you seen you slip past before? What's wrong with this? Has the world suddenly changed?"
Tang Yu smiled and said, "It's the head of the family that your world has changed. Do you dare not change the world of my servants? Otherwise, where would they come from so bold? Where would the maids have the slick mouth?"
Li Qing asked her: "Have I changed? Why don't I feel it myself?"
Tang Yu said: "The head of the family has changed, just like the grass that has passed through winter, it has taken off the withered yellow, and it has erupted with spring."
Li Qing changed his expression and said, "I'm so rude! Go and dig two hundred kilograms of well water to wash your tongue and wait for me to cut it."
A few days ago, Bo Lai got an errand. The commander asked him to measure the land of Xiao Chang'an and count the population and merchants in the city. It seemed that the commander wanted to build a city here. Bo Lai naturally knew that the city was originally built by the commander. Three years ago, it was just a military camp. Because of the convenient transportation, it had become a famous city in the desert in just a few years. If a wall is built around it and then a dangerous place to build a fortress, don't you say it, this is really a Feng Shui treasure land.
You see, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the desert is a barrier. The distance between Fengzhou, Zhenwu, Linzhou, Xiasui and Shuofang is only two days away. Moreover, not only is there a good trade here, but there are also tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land around it and sufficient water sources. If military reclamation is implemented in the future, the garrison will not have to worry about the supply of grain and grass.
When Bo Lai followed Yang Hao south, he went to see the Yandangchuan Farm. The fields were crisscrossed and the ditches were as dense as spider silk. Although they were already dilapidated, the grand scale still left an indelible impression on him. No wonder the general was able to use Fengzhou to deal with the heroes, and the more he fought, he became more and more brave, and he became the strongest in Hexi.
I am following the right person and assisting the general with all my heart and strength, so why worry about not being able to shine the family and honor the ancestors?
He was called back to the camp by the commander when he was surveying the river outside the city. Bo Lai was not panicked. He worked hard these days, but he did not have any foreign workers. He was not afraid of you asking if he had the goods, but he was afraid that you wouldn't ask. Along the way, he sorted out his work achievements these days in case the commander asked for inquiries.
However, the commander did not ask him about counting the population and surveying the terrain. As soon as he met, the commander took out a picture, which was painted with an extremely luxurious carriage. It actually had eight wheels, and its length, width and height were surprisingly large. This was the first time Bo Lai saw such a carriage, and he could see it straight away. The commander told him that he wanted such a carriage, and you should start construction immediately, the faster the better. For this reason, he tirelessly explained every detail of the strange carriage to Bo Lai, which made Bo Lai conclude that the carriage was designed by the commander himself, otherwise he would not have mastered every detail of the carriage so clearly.
Finally, the commander asked Bo Lai when he could build it.
Bo Lai calculated silently in his heart, patted his chest and said, "It will definitely be built in half a month." The commander shook his head and said, "It's too slow." He stretched out a finger: "Ten days!" Bo Lai frowned and said, "If that happens, you won't be painted anymore. It takes three times to see the effect. The time is too short, and the smell of paint is so strong that it will be so smelling to people. How dare you make people sit?"
Yang Hao said: "Then don't apply paint first, just use tung oil and then talk about it later."
Bo Lai said: "If that happens, I will definitely make it within ten days, otherwise you will chop my head."
Seeing that the commander was in good mood, Bo Lai plucked up his courage and asked: "I haven't seen such a luxurious car since ancient times. I wonder which lady was lucky to ride it?"
The commander smiled and replied, "My wife is a madam, so there is no need for this. I want to give it to an old acquaintance as a birthday gift."
Bo Lai smiled and replied, "I understand, and the work will be completed within ten days."
There are some skilled craftsmen in the military camp, and there is no shortage of materials. After all, Xiao Chang'an is also a big bush, with all kinds of goods on the waterway. Bo Lai is not worried that it will not be completed within ten days. What he is worried about is that after the completion, the commander will be unsatisfied. After all, the commander on the picture is on the picture. If the commander is not willing to be willing to do so, he will not be able to take it.
Bo Lai became more careful because of this. He had to report on the opportunity of counting the population and surveying the terrain every day, and report on the progress of carriage manufacturing at will. At this time, no matter how late or how busy it is, the commander would jump up and say, "Let's go, take a look." The commander was willing to attend the scene in person, and Bo Lai's mind was completely relieved. Although there were twists and turns in the middle, it was still completed as scheduled.
When he got the new car, the commander did not hide his excitement. It was like a child who had received a toy he had long liked and shared it with his best friend. He immediately ran to offer treasures to his old acquaintance, but unfortunately the treasure in his eyes was not pleased with his lover. Bo Lai saw the commander with his own eyes and was disgusted in front of his old acquaintance. Early that morning, the commander drove the carriage to the old acquaintance door, invited the old acquaintance out with a smile, and then gave the treasures to the old acquaintance. Bo Lai saw it very clearly. When he went out, his old acquaintance was full of smiles, but when he saw the carriage, he sank his face and wanted to leave. The commander stopped him and encouraged his thin lips to boast about the benefits of the carriage. His mouth was dry and he still could not be favored by the woman in a beard.
The Hu-yi woman pushed him rudely and was about to go back. The commander smiled and stopped him. He didn't know what he said, but suddenly he made the Hu-yi woman make a big fuss. Look how arrogant she pointed at the commander's nose, how sad the commander nodded and bowed.
The young man Dongfang, who was young, became impatient again. He was carrying a knife and wanted to move forward, saying that he would go forward to help the commander.
You can do nothing, this is something that people are willing to beat and the other are willing to be beaten. Beating is a kiss or a love, and they are happy about it.
The commander, who had always been above his eyes and was extremely majestic, was completely depressed that day. He had no temper at all because of the woman's repair. In front of so many subordinates, he bowed and smiled. Some even said that he saw that the commander's eyes were red and he was scolded and cried by the evil woman. Bo Lai immediately refuted: This is absolutely nonsense! It's extremely ridiculous! Who is the commander? A romantic tiger general in the flowers, and the flowers were all romantic. He experienced all the wind and waves. As for this small scene, can't hold on, and he burst into tears?
Even if he really shed tears, it was his plan. If a woman uses tears to make men feel dizzy, wouldn’t men be allowed to do whatever they want to do with the other person? What a wise and decisive commander? Should he learn from the corrupt scholarly style and tie his hands and feet for the sake of a worthless reputation and be slaughtered?
Sure enough! After the Grand Commander's tear-bomb attack, his old lover completely stopped. Look at her blushing like a red persimmon, tears in her eyes were shiny, and she was completely defeated. The Grand Commander got on the carriage in a few seconds. Look at how powerful the Grand Commander was, kicked down the stool, squeezed out the driver, and drove away. It took less than an hour for him to drive, and he dared to drive the carriage on the streets of Little Chang'an. Look at his horse's hooves, the wheels rolled, and how many vendors were affected. Are they crying in the streets and alleys?
I don’t know if his old love is happy or afraid. Look at her holding the commander’s bun with one hand and strangling his neck with the other, and opening her mouth wide and screaming. She was like a crazy woman who was a loser.
Everyone laughed at him for being too crazy, I laughed at him for not seeing through, everyone was drunk, I felt so awake alone, I had guessed the result of this dragon and phoenix fight, but it was ridiculous that the Dongfang Young Master was still confused, and he said he wanted to ride a horse to escort and guard a yarn, so that this shameless man and woman would go crazy! You are not even as good as those Huayiwei who is accustomed to selling the owners to seek honor. Look at how sensible they are, how straight they stand like wooden stakes. The head of the family is so crazy that it makes people laugh, and they are still smiling heartlessly.
Dongfang, Dongfang, you are so idle that you have nothing to do, just bring money to appease the small vendors. Judging from this situation, if the commander and his wife continue to torture, they will stir up civil changes.
Bo Lai finally figured it out: "It turns out that the commander not only wants to be the king of Hexi, but also wants to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Alas, it's not right. Although Wang Chongwen lost his power, he is not dead yet. At this time, he will seduce his wife. Is this a gentleman's cause? But I, Bo, don't bother to go into such a tangled matter. The king's surname is already a phoenix with a hair. How can he deserve a princess? The so-called "people go to a high place and birds fly to a high place. Our commander is a match for the princess!
