The Xue family father and son did not meet in the Li Mansion.
When Li Qinzai sent Xue Ne out of the mansion, the veterans in the front hall had already left.
In the front hall, Li Ji was still sitting motionless in the main seat, dozing off with his eyes closed.
Li Qinzai quietly walked into the front hall and took a closer look at Li Ji for the first time.
The temples are stained with frost, the glory is gradually passing away, the famous general has turned gray, sitting alone in the bright hall, and an aura of twilight fills the surroundings.
Li Ji is old. He was once the most dazzling general in the Tang Dynasty. His prestige in the Tang army still remains, but he is old after all.
Li Qinzai watched him quietly in the hall. For a long time, he seemed to notice someone in the hall. Li Ji suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed through, and then the turbidity returned.
"Qin Zai, have you sent away the boy from the Xue family?" Li Ji's voice was a little hoarse.
Li Qinzai bowed: "Yes."
Li Ji smiled and said: "Xue Rengui is a good general, and the Xue family's upbringing is also very strict. Among your friends, Xue Ne is a true friend, and your friendship with him is very cherished."
"Yes, my grandson also thinks he is a good friend." A smile appeared on Li Qinzai's lips.
Li Ji hummed and then closed his eyes again.
Li Qinzai was still standing in the hall and did not leave.
Li Ji then opened his eyes and looked at him: "Is there anything else?"
"Yes."
"To put it bluntly, it is not my husband who is dilly-dallying."
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "There are some clues about the White Jade Pegasus. My grandson wanted to borrow a few people from the house to go out for a while, but my father issued a ban and my grandson couldn't go out."
Li Ji smiled: "My father being stricter on you is not a bad thing after all. If he is too pampering, how can it bring you back to your lost ways today?"
Li Qinzai smiled, there was no way to explain this.
You know how to find your way back, your grandson is possessed by a ghost, do you know?
"I stopped for a moment and told Wu Tong to lift your ban. You said you wanted to borrow someone from the house. Who do you want to borrow?"
"Liu Asi and his subordinate Pao Ze."
Li Ji hesitated, raised his eyes and looked at him deeply for a long time, and then suddenly smiled: "Okay, I agreed, but you must act with caution and remember not to cause any loss of life. What will happen if you cause a big disaster? You must be very good."
It’s clear.”
"My grandson understands."
After finishing speaking, Li Qinzai still stayed in the hall and refused to leave.
Li Ji sighed: "If you have something to say in one breath, I'm getting impatient. Don't force me to beat you."
Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment and said: "It costs money to go out to do errands, and my grandson has no money."
Li Ji smiled: "What do you think it's about? Isn't it just money?"
Li Qinzai perked up and looked at him expectantly. He really liked the tone of this upstart, arrogant and unreasonable yet mixed with kindness.
Unexpectedly, Li Ji's smile suddenly faded: "No money, get out!"
"Okay."
…………
Li Qinzai finally went out.
Early the next morning, Li Qinzai was dressed neatly. In the front yard, Liu Asi and his subordinates were already lined up and waiting for him quietly.
Li Qinzai nodded and asked everyone to follow him.
There was a new group of people on duty at the gate, and Liu Asi led more than ten people to follow Li Qinzai.
Walking openly to the door, Li Qinzai stood in high spirits, stood inside the threshold, and stepped out. The team changing the guard at the door looked straight ahead with expressionless faces.
Take the step out with one foot, step out with the other foot, and then take it back again.
Then the whole person jumps out, jumps back again, and jumps horizontally several times.
Behind him, Liu Asi's head was covered with black lines: "...Fifth Young Master, it's getting late, don't play around anymore."
Li Qinzai straightened his clothes and said in an easy-going manner: "Okay, come with me to go out and do some business."
"Follow the order!" Liu Asi bowed.
Coming to this world, this is the second time that Li Qinzai has walked out of the house.
The first time was the day he was exiled from the city. At that time, Li Qinzai was anxious and not in the mood to appreciate the city of Chang'an. This time he could finally enjoy the scenery of Chang'an.
Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is the only city in the world with a population of more than one million, and it is also the first capital city in Chinese history to be defined as "Beijing".
The capital was established here as early as the time of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, and it was known as "Fengjing" in history.
There are 108 squares in the city, and each square is separated by a square gate. The famous Zhuque Street is not only the main road of Chang'an City, leading directly to Taiji Palace, but also the meridian central axis of the entire city. With Zhuque Street as the boundary, it divides east and west.
.
During the Wude and Zhenguan years, not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was a curfew in Chang'an City every night. At night, the gates of the 108 squares were closed until early the next morning.
Now in the Longshuo period, the world has been settled and the people have returned home. Gradually, the curfew in Chang'an City is no longer so strict, and some small night markets have even appeared in the city.
This is a truly international metropolis. Li Qinzai was walking on Zhuque Street. The streets were crowded with people. He was shocked to find that less than half of the people in the crowd were foreigners with high nose bridges and deep eye sockets.
Most of them were Hu merchants from foreign countries thousands of miles away, leading camels and horses. The nearly 50-foot-wide Zhuque Street seemed a bit crowded.
Li Qinzai led Liu Asi and others walking on the street. Those Hu merchants were holding camels, and the animals gave off an unpleasant smell. Li Qinzai was not used to it, so he kept avoiding them, which made Liu Asi very unhappy. p>
He flew up and kicked a blind Hu Shang away. The Hu Shang did not dare to get angry and quickly apologized, speaking in a foreign language that he did not understand. Liu A simply said "Get out" in four words. The Hu Shang was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his hands.
.
Li Qinzai glanced at Liu Asi in surprise. He didn't expect that the taciturn guy at home could have such a big temper and be so arrogant.
Liu Asi forced a smile towards Li Qinzai: "Don't be surprised, Fifth Young Master. Normally, villains are never domineering. It's just that these exotic hozens are so annoying that they dare to block Fifth Young Master's way. Hozens are not considered human beings. They are bullies."
It doesn’t hurt to take a moment.”
Li Qinzai composed himself: "It doesn't matter, hozens are really annoying. If you don't accept the king's transformation, you are not a human being."
It was obviously quite unreasonable, but as soon as Liu Asi explained his racial discrimination theory, hey, I suddenly felt that my thoughts were clear and coherent, and bullying the hozen became a matter of course.
Seeing that Li Qinzai was just wandering around, Liu Asi couldn't help but ask: "Fifth Young Master, I am sent by the Fifth Young Master on the orders of my husband. I wonder if the Fifth Young Master has any orders? What should we do?"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "No rush, let's go shopping first. By the way, do you know where the Zheng family lives in Xingyang?"
"I know that the Zheng family lives in Xinghuafang. During the Zhenguan Dynasty, my husband had a close relationship with the Zheng family. After the emperor came to the throne, for some reason my husband gradually became alienated from the people of the seven sects and five surnames, and now he has no contact with them."
Li Qinzai nodded. An old fox is an old fox after all, and he can smell unusual smells. Long before Li Zhi took action against his eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, Li Ji probably understood the emperor's intentions and took the initiative to cut ties with the aristocratic family.
"Ah Si, in the past few days, you have been leading the robes in Xinghuafang, whether you are sitting in a corner or hanging out in a wine shop, in short, you are keeping an eye on the Zheng family..."
Liu Asi is a soldier, and obedience is his bounden duty. He immediately accepted the order after hearing this, and then said: "I wonder who the Fifth Young Master wants us to keep an eye on in the Zheng family?"
"Keep an eye on Zheng Feng and see what he does every day, the time and pattern of his going out and returning home every day, and his daily whereabouts..."
Liu Asi understood and said in surprise: "Fifth Young Master wants to deal with Zheng Feng?"
This question is more nonsense than nonsense.
Li Qinzai said pleasantly: "No, I heard that Zheng Feng's birthday is coming, and I plan to pay him a birthday."
