The new emperor ascended the throne in Linzhou. Although the guards from various places were ordered not to escort him, countless people still flocked to Linzhou.
There is an emperor, a court, and an army of hundreds of thousands over there. The once remote small place is now the peaceful hometown in everyone's hearts.
Because of this thought, Weishui City is unusually prosperous in this troubled time. There are people inside and outside, and the streets are full of shops selling goods.
"Towards the beard!"
There were shouts overhead.
When we arrived at the city gate, Xiang Qiu, who was sitting on the roadside without raising his head, stretched out his hand and caught a small bundle thrown over.
The small baggage is bulging as if it contains stones.
Xiang Qiu¡¯s beard opened and took out a black stone about the size of a fist and bit it into it. Although this stone-like dried meat didn¡¯t look good, it was indeed meat.
Xiang Qiubeard bit off a piece of meat and chewed it, then raised his head: "Is there any wine?"
Standing on the side of the road was an older man with a knife hanging on his waist. Hearing this, he threw a wine bottle over: "It's indispensable for you."
Xiang Qiubeard raised his head to catch it and took a big sip. The wine flowed all over him. He took another bite of the meat and chewed it. He laughed and said, "It's a pleasure."
The beggar and refugee sitting next to him had an envious look on his face and his mouth was watering. Although he had a good-looking beard, he was tall and had a knife, so no one dared to grab it.
Xiang Qiubeard raised his hand and threw the small bundle over: "Eat it."
The refugees and beggars immediately scrambled for it, causing a commotion outside the city gate.
"You guy." The middle-aged guard shouted, "This is our family's special bacon."
Xiang Qiubearded, holding up the flagon and drinking wine: "What's special is just to satisfy my hunger."
??This ranger is now drunk, now drunk, and now hungry without meat. He doesn¡¯t talk about oral desires. The middle-aged guard shook his head, stopped chatting and talked about business: "My master invites you to come over."
Xiang Qiubeard also threw the remaining wine to the homeless beggars, and followed the middle-aged guard to the motorcade not far away amidst everyone's cheers and thanks.
The people in the motorcade were getting ready and resting, and the female relatives also got out of the car. They were protected by a group of guards holding a curtain. When they saw Xiang Qiubeard approaching, they pointed and pointed happily behind the curtain. Xiangqiubeard whistled at them, attracting the women. They laughed for a while, and the old man who was drinking tea at a small table on the ground also laughed, and did not blame Xiang Qiu's wild wave.
"Brother Xiang, sit down and drink tea." He said, and then watched this young man in simple clothes with stains of wine and meat dripping from his body sit down opposite him. He divided the tea, brewed the tea, and poured it smoothly and skillfully without him having to do anything. Tea.
This knight-errant was vulgar yet elegant, elegant yet uninhibited. The old man smiled slightly.
"Why don't you go to the city?" Xiang Qiubeard took the initiative to open the topic, "Are the relatives not taking me in?"
He said as he stretched out his palms and lowered his voice.
"If you seek provocation and retaliate, if it doesn't hurt anyone, you only need three pieces of meat."
The old man laughed and pressed his palm down: "I hid it from my brother earlier. I am not here to visit my relatives. This is my property."
Of course he stayed at home if he wanted to. Xiang Qiubearded his wife and drank the tea in one gulp. He was neither amazed, envious nor angry because of the other party's deception.
"I changed my mind, I plan to go to Linzhou." The old man said proactively, "The turmoil will not end in a day or two, and I didn't prepare early. I can't find peace at all by relying on these family assets, so I can only go looking for A place where you can stay safe.¡±
He said this and sighed.
"Who would have thought of preparing for troubled times."
After he said this, he saw the ranger sitting across from him showing a beautiful smile, which seemed happy and proud, and there was also a touch of tenderness, as if he was thinking of spring flowers blooming in the dark winter.
The old man saw through the heart of the young man and asked curiously: "Have you ever seen or know such a person? Where is he from? How are you doing now?"
Xiang Qiubeard did not deny it, and simply said: "I won't tell you."
The old man was stunned and laughed again.
Xiang Qiubeard took the initiative to pick up the previous topic: "If you want to go to Linzhou, you don't need to ask me to escort you. I don't plan to go there, I only do business here."
The old man put away his smile and said solemnly: "Brother Xiang, I invite you to go to Linzhou with me. Of course, I will also pay for the escort. I think this brother is a very good person and should go to Linzhou to have a try."
Xiang Qiubeard seemed to be thinking: "Linzhou?"
"Linzhou is in dire straits right now, and the new emperor is eager for talents." The old man said, "Brother Xiang has worked hard and has a noble temperament. He will definitely make a difference there. The world over there is much bigger than here."
Xiang QiuBeard said nothing.
The old man looked at Xiang Qiu¡¯s beard: ¡°I don¡¯t think you are a small fish who wants to live in the shallows.¡±
Xiang Qiubeard laughed and said: "Of course a real man should seek to leap over the dragon's gate and become famous all over the world."
The old man nodded: "So you should go to Linzhou. I know Linzhou is far away. Brother Xiang, you don't have money. I am willing to hire you as a guard."
I'm touched. I met him by chance and helped him so much. He didn't mean anything, just because he was a talent. For this kind of kindness, the next step is to thank him gratefully. The middle-aged guard standing next to him looked at the curly beard, but he didn't see it from this. Excitement and brilliance were seen on the young ranger's face.
Xiang Qiubeard picked out a piece of dried meat from between his teeth and shook his head: "I told you, I will be a guard on this road, and I will not go further."
"Brother Xiang, there is such a situation in Linzhou now." The old man moved forward cross-legged and poured tea for Xiang Qiubeard, "When we left the capital, many officials did not follow. His Majesty issued a new order, and the chief is not here , the official position was postponed."
Xiang Qiubearded said: "That's right. People who have followed you thousands of miles away deserve to be reused."
The old man said: "My eldest son is among them. I originally thought there was no hope of promotion, but I didn't expect this opportunity."
Xiang Qiu¡¯s beard bowed his hand to the old man: ¡°Congratulations, father-in-law. As expected, blessings and misfortunes have always depended on each other since ancient times.¡±
The old man looked at him and made his intention clear: "I will ask my son to recommend you. Nowadays, there are many generals and martyrs who have joined the army. Following the new emperor, he defeated the An thieves and brought peace to the world. This can be said to be the merit of following the dragon." He took the picture. Patting Xiang's bearded hand, "Brother Xiang, don't you want to do some great work? Just like your name."
Xiang Qiu¡¯s beard looked a bit yearning: ¡°Of course I want to do some good work.¡± He smiled arrogantly again, ¡°That¡¯s wrong, of course I will do some good work!¡±
The old man laughed, then shook hands with Xiang Qiubeard to congratulate him. Xiang Qiubeard retracted his hand, put down the tea cup and stood up.
"But I have one thing that I haven't finished yet, so I can't go to Linzhou." He said, "Thank you for your kindness."
The old man was astonished. He could see that the young man was either trying to welcome or refuse. His eyes were clear and bright, and he was telling the truth.
"You, what can't you let go of? Build your merits first, and everything will be easy to do." The old man said again.
Xiang Xiangbeard shook his head: "This can't be done. I am entrusted with the duty of loyalty to others."
???????????????????????????????? You Xiaer believes in making a promise, but isn¡¯t that in ancient times? Rangers are almost extinct, and now there are finally opportunities for rangers to make contributions
"Is this difficult to do?" the old man asked.
Xiang Qiubeard thought about it and realized that it was already the second time to assassinate Xiang Yun. Xiang Yun was very vigilant after the first assassination. It can be imagined after the second time.
It is difficult to kill a person who is always on guard and has enough ability to guard against him.
"What if you can't do it in your lifetime?" the old man asked again.
Xiang Qiubeard laughed and said, "Then I'll do this for the rest of my life." He bowed his hands and saluted the old man, raised his eyebrows and whistled at the women who had been looking at him, then turned around and strode away, throwing away the old man's suspicion and the women's laughter. behind.
Seeing Xiang Qiubeard walking back, the beggar and refugee occupying the city gate greeted him warmly and gave him the warmest place in the sun, with a pile of hay on the ground.
"Master, has someone asked you to be a guard again?" A beggar asked curiously, looking at Xiang Qiu's empty hands and feeling a little regretful that he didn't bring back any food or wine.
Xiang Qiubeard, who had just followed the old man to drink ancient tea under the tree, sat crookedly among the beggars without any manners, and touched his handsome chin: "I am so good. There are always people crying and shouting to help me. It's really disappointing." trouble."
The beggars and refugees laughed and cheered, and the noise of people and cars and horses was getting louder and louder in front of the city gate
There are always people coming and going at the city gate of Jiannan Road, and soldiers and horses are constantly coming, so when a group of soldiers and horses rush towards the city, the people are just accustomed to avoid it and don't pay much attention. However, a melodious and melodious chant can be heard from behind this group of soldiers and horses. cry.
The shout came from a horse's hooves, and a man wearing a white robe and a jade belt fluttering on his head came running.
The corners of his narrow eyes were filled with crimson, like peach blossoms falling in spring, and the peach blossoms shimmering like falling rain: "Third Master, you can't go!"
This cry made the horse under Li Fengyao shudder in front, neighing and rushing out of the city gate.
Li Fengyao was startled and hurriedly reined in his horse.
What happened to this horse? What are you doing here? He is just showing off! But I don¡¯t really want to lead the troops to conquer it myself!
