The wheel marks were faintly visible on Jinxiang's face. Cui Jie was driving too fast, so she didn't get out of the way and ran over her face.
When men get together, they all get excited when they talk about women. In fact, when women get together and talk about men, it’s the same.
While chatting, the two girls even forgot about serious matters.
Originally, Cui Jie called Jin Xiang over because she wanted to thaw the currently frozen relationship between best friends and discuss how to deal with Princess Loulan.
As a result, it wasn't until it got late and Jin Xiang left that Cui Jie suddenly slapped her head, feeling as if she had forgotten something.
I just planned to call Jinxiang back to continue the discussion, but I thought that the Loulan Princess had long since disappeared, and there was no way to deal with her, so I had to give up in frustration.
Sitting alone in the room, Cui Jie sighed quietly and murmured: "It's another princess. Why does my husband seem to have fallen into the princess's nest?"
This is true, there seem to be more and more princesses who have interactions with Li Qinzai.
Not only are there two princess students, there is also a Japanese princess as a maid, and now there is an exiled princess from the Loulan Kingdom.
Is the husband's horoscope destined to attract the princess's fate?
…………
Li Qinzai led more than ten tribesmen walking on the streets of Chang'an.
After being promoted to Marquis of County, Li Qinzai was no different from before. He still looked lazy, walking carelessly among the crowds, like a salted fish that was out of tune with the world. The joys and sorrows of human beings had nothing to do with him.
Liu Asi and others walked silently behind him, still guarding Li Qinzai's safety as before.
Everything is as usual, but in fact, it is obviously different from usual.
From Li Qinzai to the Bu Qu behind him, they unconsciously exuded a momentum. This group of people seemed to have just rolled through countless mountains of swords and seas of fire, and at the moment when the door of hell was about to close, they crawled back to the human world by narrow margins.
Full of scars and possessed by evil spirits.
They are no different from the people around them, but they carry a bloody smell.
It was the smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield, the smell of the blood of the enemy and one's own mixed together.
The surrounding crowd seemed to sense the smell and moved aside in fear. As a result, a vacuum zone appeared within a ten-foot radius where Li Qinzai and his friends were walking, and no one dared to approach.
Li Qinzai walked for a while and suddenly felt his mood waned.
"Let me ask," Li Qinzai said lazily: "Did anyone among us fall into the latrine and not clean up? Why don't people on the street dare to approach us?"
Liu Asi scratched his head and said: "I wonder, are all the people on the street sick today? We don't smell bad, so why are they so far away from us?"
Li Qinzai glanced at them and said: "It must be that you haven't showered for too long and you have smoked others."
Liu Asi argued unconvinced: "I just washed myself once last month, so I'm clean."
"You shameless bastard, stay away from me, you may accidentally injure a friendly force!"
Li Qinzai went out to attend an appointment. Yesterday, Xue Ne heard that Li Qinzai had returned to Chang'an and stopped doing his own business. He rushed back to Chang'an from Lantian County overnight and booked a table in the most luxurious restaurant in Chang'an just to meet Li Qinzai.
Celebrate.
The restaurant was not far from the Duke's Mansion, so Li Qinzai simply walked there instead of taking a carriage.
When the group of people came to the restaurant, Xue Ne was already waiting at the door. After seeing Li Qinzai, Xue Ne's eyes lit up and he greeted him with open arms.
"Brother Jingchu, it's been a long time!" Xue Ne's eyes turned red and she hugged him hard.
Taking two steps back, Xue Ne looked at him carefully and said, "I heard that you were surrounded in the northwest and were injured? Where is the injury?"
Li Qinzai was moved in his heart.
After all, he is a true brother. Others only envy him for his young title. Only brothers will care about his injuries.
"The arm was decorated with some paint. It has recovered and is no longer a problem." Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Xue Ne sighed and said: "In Guanzhong, I heard that Brother Jingchu led thousands of soldiers in a bloody battle, and almost all the soldiers in Paoze were killed. At that time, I felt very distressed. Fortunately, General Su arrived in time, otherwise..."
Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's over now. I'm lucky to be alive. If nothing else happens, we brothers can still drink and eat meat together in this life, drinking and eating until we grow old."
Xue Ne laughed: "That's right, drink until you grow old and eat until you grow old!"
The two of them smiled and walked into the restaurant side by side, ignoring the sideways glances from others.
A young man wearing silk clothes accidentally stood in front of the two of them. Xue Ne's expression changed and he immediately kicked the young man away with a flying kick.
"Are you blind? You dare to block our brother's way!" Xue Ne cursed viciously.
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly, it's been a long time since he had this damn friendly and dandy style.
Seeing Li Qinzai's strange look, Xue Ne asked curiously: "What's wrong with brother Jingchu?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "I wonder if I was as annoying as you a long time ago..."
Xue Na curled his lips and said: "Brother Jingchu is so humble. You were much more annoying than me back then. If a dog blocks your way, you will slap him twice."
Going upstairs and entering the pavilion, Xue Ne opened the door. The pavilion was full of people. Looking around, they were all the notorious dandies of Chang'an City.
Gao Qi was also there. Seeing Li Qinzai come in, Gao Qi stood up in surprise and saluted: "Brother Jingchu, it's been a long time."
The rest of the dandies also stood up and saluted, congratulating Li Qin on being promoted to County Marquis.
Li Qinzai did not show any airs and returned the greetings politely to everyone.
After some humility, Li Qinzai and everyone took their seats.
Xue Ne clapped his hands, and the food and wine were immediately served. Then a group of charming and graceful dancers filed in. The silk, bamboo and Xiaosheng instruments were played, and the dancers began to dance gracefully in the music.
Still familiar guests, still familiar smell.
Chang'an is full of life and death.
Except for Xue Ne and Gao Qi, Li Qinzai was not very familiar with the other dudes. One thing they had in common among the many unfamiliar faces was that they were all very young, the youngest was only about thirteen or fourteen years old.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, I followed the example of adults in having a banquet and drinking wine, staring at the maiko in the center with my narrowed eyes...
The dandies of this generation developed a little early.
The atmosphere of the banquet was not too lively, and most of the dandies were observing Li Qinzai. Whenever Li Qinzai raised his glass, the dandies would raise their glasses with both hands and salute. Li Qinzai put down his wine cup, and then the dandies put down their wine cups respectfully and waited for Li Qinzai's next toast.
Their expressions were a bit awkward and reserved. Li Qinzai was obviously of the same age as them, but they seemed to be having a banquet with their elders, without any trace of their former wild behavior.
Li Qinzai sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew that, except for Xue Ne and Gao Qi, he and the other dudes were no longer in the same circle.
While other dandies were still asking for money from their elders to spend time and wine, or gathering similar people to go out for hunting trips in the city, Li Qinzai was already full of military achievements and even made history.
Now, even if he says something casually, the emperor and his ministers must lean in and listen carefully.
The once notorious playboy had unknowingly become a pillar of the country.
The hall was full of guests, but no one came home.
