On the road from Chang'an to Jinzhou, Li Qinzai was so tired that he almost died.
Walking, whether it is a stroll or a brisk walk, was a form of exercise that was highly praised by the world in the previous life, but Li Qinzai felt that this method was even more painful than Ling Chi.
Only half a day after leaving Chang'an City, and only a dozen miles after being escorted by two officials, Li Qinzai felt that his legs no longer belonged to him.
It's sore and numb, and there may even be blisters on my feet, and it's excruciating pain after just a few steps.
Looking back on their journey, the three of them had not gone very far at all. Even the outline of Chang'an City was clearly visible. But Li Qinzai was like a dead fish out of water, rolling his eyes and feeling pain all over his body.
After walking a hundred or two hundred steps, he fell to the ground and asked to rest, which lasted for at least half an hour. After the two officials begged him, he lazily got up and walked another few hundred steps like a leisurely stroll...<
/p>
"Can't we buy three horses and ride them all the way to Lingnan? I'll pay for the horses, and I can treat you to lychees and sleeping monkeys when we get to Lingnan." Li Qinzai was as generous as a wealthy guest.
The officer's expression was ugly, probably because the field of Sleeping Mother Monkeys is too curious and psychologically unacceptable.
"Forgive me, Fifth Young Master, this... is really unacceptable."
Another official also laughed: "Fifth Young Master, you are in large numbers, don't embarrass the villain. According to the law, the crime of 'migration' must be done on foot. If you are exposed by an official along the way, Fifth Young Master will not be impeached by the court officials again."
, the two of us will also be held accountable."
Li Qinzai sighed. At this moment, he finally understood the feelings of the Tang monk in Journey to the West.
Although riding on the neck of a monkey can be done with a somersault cloud, Tang Monk actually rode a white dragon horse for hundreds of thousands of miles. He was simply the most honest monk in the history.
Now Li Qinzai understood that it was not that Tang Monk didn't want to, but because he was afraid that the Bodhisattva in the sky would find out he was cheating, so he hit the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and instantly turned the tenth golden cicada into the tenth dead cicada. The matter of seeking scriptures could only be left to the tenth
A lifetime.
Therefore, life is like a game and can be resurrected infinitely, but it is best not to use plug-ins.
"If I really walk across on my own two feet, I might have died on the road before I left the customs. You two can only take my body to Lingnan to find a geomantic treasure for burial..."
"I live in a place I am not familiar with. I have no chance to invite my relatives and friends to a banquet. All this is because you don't let me buy a horse." Li Qinzai persuaded without giving up.
The official looked ugly, but still firmly refused.
Li Qinzai sighed. Through constant persuasion and testing, he understood the bottom line of the two officials.
It seems that buying a horse is really not an option. In their eyes, the horse is their sister-in-law. They cannot ride it themselves, let alone outsiders.
He is very loyal to his duties and is respectful to the powerful and powerful, but he can still stick to his principles.
As a result, Li Qinzai had to pretend that he was a man of high moral standards and was embarrassed to bribe them with silver cakes.
I looked up at the sky and saw that it was already evening.
Li Qinzai was a little uneasy.
He had no intention of actually walking to Lingnan, and was just waiting for news and a damn craftsman who might have given up on him after leaving Chang'an.
It's getting later and later, and Li Qinzai is getting more and more uneasy.
If there is no good news from Chang'an City today, are we going to sleep in the wilderness tonight?
There are a lot of mosquitoes in the wild in summer, and there should be a lot of wild animals in this era. People who are covered in dust and sweat have no place to bathe...
No matter how difficult the environment is, Li Qinzai's quality of life cannot be low. There must be a flower placed in the small room with four bare walls. It is an attitude of living up to life.
"It's getting dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk today, so I decided to camp on the spot." Li Qinzai announced his decision in a tone that left no room for doubt.
The two officers looked at each other and agreed with a grimace.
If I follow this path and reach Lingnan, most of my life will have passed. When my children and grandchildren ask me what I have done in my life, how will I answer?
I just sent a prisoner to Lingnan, and his whole life has passed, oh~~
Li Qinzai sat cross-legged on the spot and began to assign tasks naturally.
"You, go hunting nearby and get some game. You, go collect firewood and build a tent. Heat some hot water. I'll soak my feet first."
The two officers sighed, not daring to resist, and acted honestly according to Li Qinzai's instructions.
Just as they started to move, the three of them heard the faint sound of rapid horse hooves in the distance.
The two officers looked at each other inexplicably, but Li Qinzai's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and soon appeared in the sight of the three people.
Immediately, a knight wearing iron armor and dressed as a Forbidden Army came galloping towards him. As he was flying, he saw Li Qinzai and three others in front of him, and then looked at their clothes. The knight was overjoyed and immediately reined in his horse.
"Is the British noble grandson Li Qinzai in front of you?" the knight asked loudly.
Li Qinzai smiled, stood up and dusted off his clothes: "Exactly."
The knight loudly said: "According to the decree, Li Qinzai is exempted from the crime and can be ordered to return to the capital!"
Li Qinzai looked calm and seemed not surprised by the sudden news.
The two officials were shocked. They were stunned for a long time, and then they were overjoyed.
Isn't it the same kind of torture for the escorted officials to move thousands of miles away? At this time, they were released just after leaving Chang'an City, so the officials were naturally spared a hard work.
"Congratulations, Fifth Young Master!" The official hurriedly bowed to Li Qinzai to congratulate him.
Li Qinzai stretched himself and said leisurely: "I announce that today's half-day trip to the outskirts of Chang'an has been successfully completed, and I'm going home!"
…………
It’s quick to get back to Chang’an City from the suburbs of Beijing.
Li Qinzai refused to walk again even if he was beaten to death. He discussed with the knight who delivered the order for a long time, and finally stuffed a handful of copper coins into the knight's arms. The knight pulled Li Qinzai onto his horse with a look of helplessness.
A horse carried two people and hurried back to Chang'an City. It was just getting dark when they entered the city.
As for the two hard-working officials, I forgive Li Qinzai for not being able to take care of them anymore. Let’s go back to the city by ourselves.
In the British Palace, the servants were carrying two dim yellow lanterns on long poles and hanging them under the eaves of the main entrance.
As night falls, when the lights are turned on, outside the dimly lit Duke's Mansion, a slightly lonely figure stands in an open space not far away, staring at the plaque with gold letters on a black background on the lintel of the Duke's Mansion.
The figure is lonely and independent, blending into the dim and dark light and shadow, unique but seemingly incompatible with this world.
The troops on duty outside the house tonight are still Liu Asi.
Someone stood still outside the house for a long time, which caught Liu Asi's attention. After careful inspection, he found that the figure looked familiar.
After looking over and over again, Liu Asi suddenly shouted in surprise: "The Fifth Young Master has returned home!"
The tribes looked at each other one after another, and then someone immediately ran into the house to report, and Liu Asi and a group of tribes gathered around.
"Fifth Young Master, you..." Liu Asi stopped talking.
The decree to release Li Qinzai was sent from the palace to the suburbs of Beijing, but was not reported to the Duke's Mansion. No one in the government knew that Li Qinzai had been exonerated.
Li Qinzai smiled: "Ah Si, tell my family that I am back and ask the housekeeper to choose a maid that pleases me. I want to do a little health care."
