Yang Lian was taking a group of people to rest in a mountain forest. He kept pouring water into his mouth, rested for a while, and continued on his way.
The night was very dark tonight, suitable for traveling. A torch in the distance was getting closer and closer. Seeing this, he hurriedly asked the people behind him to put out the fire. Everyone leaned down and watched the torch slowly approaching.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. When the torch came closer, the horse raised its front hooves and neighed, and the other party said: "Password!"
"Root out evil and uphold justice!" Yang Lian replied loudly. The man dismounted holding a torch.
"Name!"
"Li Xing."
"Real name?"
"Yang Lian." The other party took out the portraits, compared them, and then took out a letter.
"I'll give you a choice, be fat or thin." Yang Lian looked at the portrait in the other person's hand and said,
"yes……"
"No need to ask, you make a choice."
"Be a fat person." Being a fat person is at least more comfortable than being a thin person. Yang Lian quickly made his choice.
The visitor blew a whistle, the sound of war horses neighing, and groups of people surrounded the money.
A token fell into Yang Lian's hands,
"Do you still remember where I taught you words and deeds?" Learn the conversation, etiquette, and posture of the clan members.
Yang Lian remembers those things back then. That experience almost made him a different person, and he will remember it for the rest of his life.
"From now on, you have to change your identity. You also know what you have done. There will be many people who want to take your life. You will eat yourself into a fat man, practice your Longxi accent, and then change your identity and continue to live." Yang Lian swallowed.
He spat and stood there with a frown.
"You can't get out of Tongguan with these things. Just go around the mountain road alone and go back to Chang'an City to meet your relatives." Thinking of the relatives he hadn't seen for a long time, Yang Lian wiped his tears. After being frightened for the past two years, he finally finally
It's a result.
The only member of the former Sui clan in Chang'an City was his own sister. Only the King of Wei's people knew about this, and no one else.
If someone else was pretending to be someone else, he would have no choice but to fight for it. Yang Lian whispered, "How did you know that I was passing by here?"
"Since the day you left Luoyang, there have been people following you. Do you think this is the only spy in Luoyang?" Yang Lian looked back at these strong men, and they also left in twos and threes.
The other party said again: "In the future, I will change my identity and live a clean life. This is for your own good. You don't need to take care of the money, and you don't need to escort me." The white fish belly appeared on the horizon, and the morning light came down, and Yang Lian finally saw it clearly.
Knowing the opponent's behavior, he wore a military armor and a horizontal sword at his waist.
Yang Lian got on his horse and quickly left the place. The escorting braised pork gang also dispersed.
The people who transported this batch of silver coins were completely replaced by the troops and horses of His Highness the King of Wei. Moreover, they wrapped the silver cakes and copper coins in black cloth. The guards of the Wei Palace were only transporting the things to Lishan. This way, there would be less questioning.
After traveling for half a day, we arrived at the pass of Tongguan.
The officers and soldiers guarding the pass were looking at a portrait. What happened in Luoyang had been spread to Tongguan.
The guard general was very curious when he saw this group of soldiers and horses escorting ten carriages.
"Who are you?" The leader held the reins with one hand and dropped a token. The guard first confirmed the token and saluted quickly.
"It turns out that this is the cargo that His Highness the King of Wei is transporting. I will be rude."
"No problem, switch! Make way!" The simple words of the other party sounded like orders, and the guard said again: "This general, I heard that something big happened in Luoyang, and I want to interrogate a person based on this portrait."
"Just ask." Seeing that the other party was so indifferent and domineering, the guard couldn't say much. After all, he belonged to the King of Wei.
He checked the portraits one by one to make sure there was no one Luoyang wanted to take, and that the carriage contained goods wrapped in black cloth.
It was not easy to ask any more questions, so he had to let them go. Seeing that the guard had let them go, he first let the carriages out of Tongguan one by one, nodded and looked at each other,
"Did the government ask you to inquire, or did others ask you to inquire?" The guard general's expression flashed with panic, and he whispered: "The general is just arresting a thief, and is entrusted by the county magistrate of Luoyang City." This excuse.
There was no problem. The guard lowered his head and felt that the other party was looking directly at him.
It felt very uncomfortable to be stared at, so I bowed down with a guilty conscience.
"If you don't mind, can this general stay for a drink? We have some fine apricot wine." The other party did not speak, but drove his horse away.
The defenders at the head of Tongguan City breathed a sigh of relief after sending off the troops of King Wei. Moreover, after King Wei came of age, he would lead the military affairs of the seven states, who would dare to make things difficult for them.
Until the soldiers and horses were no longer in sight, the guard sat down weakly and wiped the sweat from his forehead. In Lishan, the sunny day passed again, and it began to rain in Guanzhong. The rain fell with ice particles.
Zhang Yang, Li Tai and Cheng Chumo were sitting in a wine shop outside Lishan Village. Li Tai looked back at the restaurant girl and whispered: "Chu Mo, this girl is quite ordinary. How did you fall in love with her?" Cheng Chumo.
She smiled crazily and said: "She is like aged spirits..."
"Old... and strong alcohol..." Li Tai felt the hairs all over his body stand up. He scratched his scalp in pain, pointed at him and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, have you seen this?" Such disgusting words made even Zhang
Yang couldn't help but hesitate,
"I saw it." Li Tai couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Chu Mo, I'm afraid if you can change back." Cheng Chumo straightened his figure again,
"What changed back? This will always be the case in the end."
"Hiss..." Li Tai turned his back and bumped his head against the pillar.
"Chu Mo, you were not like this before." Cheng Chumo said again: "People can change..."
"Brother-in-law! You saw him." Li Tai jumped to his feet and shouted loudly,
"Chu Mo, have you also been changed by Judge Lu?"
"What is Lu Pian? Who is Lu Pian?" Such a strong man, so tender at this moment, really makes people want to kill him head-on to thank the world.
Zhang Yang patted Chu Mo on the shoulder,
"I will continue to advise you, the old guy, and relax, there is still room for this matter."
"Thank you." He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, his round face is covered with stubble, and his eyes are a little more tender, which makes him look awkward.
Li Tai couldn't stand it, and Zhang Yang couldn't stand it either. The two of them were walking in the rain wearing hats, and they could still see ice particles falling on the edge of the hats, then bouncing up and falling.
The sound of ice particles falling on the ground filled his ears. It hurt when the ice particles fell on his body. Even if he endured the pain, Li Tai did not want to face such a situation.
"Brother-in-law, you have many talents...save Chu Mo." Zhang Yang sighed: "If Chu Mo can marry this restaurant girl, he will probably change back."
"really?"
"Maybe, but with his old man in front of you, this marriage is difficult. You also know who Cheng Yaojin is." Li Tai certainly knows who Cheng Yaojin is. That is what everyone in Chang'an City knows.
An old bastard who dares not offend.
Gradually the rain stopped, and more and more ice particles fell, like bean-sized stones falling from the sky.
The two found a tree where they could temporarily avoid some ice particles. As the new year was approaching and there was no sign of the weather getting warmer, Li Tai took off his bamboo hat and patted away the ice particles that fell on it.
A fast horse came, and it was Li Tai's bodyguard.
"How's it going?"
"His Royal Highness, King Wei, has left Tongguan." The guard took out a letter and said,
"This is the situation in Luoyang." Li Tai nodded and said, "How long will it take to arrive?"
"The cargo is much larger than expected and also very heavy. It will take five days at the earliest to arrive at Lishan."
"You go back and take people to watch."
"Here." Li Tai put on his bamboo hat again.
"Things are going very well. As long as the money leaves Tongguan, the journey will be much smoother." Zhang Yang took the letter from the little fat man and looked at it carefully.
"By the way, your mother asked Yan Liben's daughter to be your wife, who is one year younger than you." Li Tai knelt down against the tree.
"Since it is the decision of my father and mother, I will marry her as long as she can live with me in Lishan Mountain." The fat man was quite reasonable.
Zhang Yang hesitated and said: "I think it's a little too early. King Wei, you are only fifteen years old, and Yan Liben's daughter is only fourteen years old. Besides..."
"Besides what?"
"The teacher also took a fancy to Yan Liben's daughter. It happened three years ago. The teacher wanted to leave his three sons to my care." Zhang Yang looked troubled after reading the letter.
"At that time, the teacher said that he wanted Yan Liben's daughter to be Daan's wife." Hearing this, Li Tai was a little curious.
"Isn't Da'an in Liaodong?" Zhang Yang nodded,
"He has been in Liaodong for two years, but Da'an is three years older than you." On one side is the teacher's youngest son, and on the other side is the marriage of his brother-in-law.
The two families also fell in love with the same girl at the same time. Zhang Yang subconsciously asked: "How many daughters does Yan Liben have?" Li Tai hadn't come back to his senses yet. He was stunned by the question and waved to him to stand.
The guards not far away,
"I would like to ask you how many daughters Yan Liben has."
"As far as I know, there is only one." Seeing Li Tai's confused look, the guard added: "But I also know that Yan Liben's brother Yan Lide also has a daughter who is twelve years old."
"Twelve years old..." Li Tai scolded shamelessly: "How can I, the king, take advantage of a twelve-year-old girl like you do? Get out!" The guards left in a panic.
Zhang Yang scratched behind his ears,
"Your Highness, King Wei, are you in a hurry to get married?" Li Tai took out two radishes from his arms and handed one over. Zhang Yang took the white radish, took a bite and chewed it in his mouth.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Li Tai squatted under the tree, watching the snow particles all over the sky fall to the ground and fall into the fields in the distance.
After a long time, the ice particles showed no sign of weakening, but intensified. Li Tai then replied,
"The prince will not get married until he is twenty years old. I am not in a hurry. If it is the request of my father, the emperor and the empress, I will get married." Li Tai was very open-minded about the marriage. He would rather accept the arrangement of his father, the empress and the empress than disobey it.
The radishes that had been frozen in the winter were delicious to eat. The two of them were silent again. Li Tai finished the radish in his hand, stood up and lifted up his belt.
"What does it say in the letter?" Zhang Yang handed the letter to him.
"The Braised Pork Gang has rules. They can take people, but they can't go beyond the government to do things. They arrested those children of aristocratic families who fled and sent them back to Luoyang."
"Sun Fujia even captured all the officials in Luoyang City, locked them up with the children of these aristocratic families, and interrogated them every day." Li Tai looked at the contents of the letter and said,
"It seems that Sun Shaoqing has been locked up in Luoyang City and will be interrogated."
"The man is a cover arranged by us. Now he has run away. These children of the aristocratic family only know that Baitang comes from Chang'an City, and they don't know who made it. Even if his grandson Fujia is clever enough to touch Lishan, he can't
Actual evidence comes to Lishan for questioning."
"Even your father is my accomplice." Zhang Yang looked at Chang'an City.
"It's really convenient to have my father help Li Shan with things. My brother-in-law is probably most worried about his father right now."
"Well, things in Luoyang will definitely arouse discussion in the court. In order to take the overall situation into consideration and for the sake of local stability, Zhao Guogong said that this matter should be dealt with leniently. The court's decision will affect your father's thoughts. Finally, he issued an order
The decision depends on your father." After hearing these words, Li Tai looked solemn. He picked up a few stones and placed them on the ground.
"Luoyang, Chang'an, aristocratic families, and some disciples of old families." He picked up the Luoyang stone and said,
"Since Lishan got the news, this news must have been delivered to the father." Seeing that the ice particles did not weaken, Zhang Yang left the tree.
Li Tai quickly followed,
“Brother-in-law, what’s the secret recipe for fried chicken?”
"Why does His Highness the King of Wei still want to eat at this time?"
"You can't lose weight without delaying a balanced diet!" Zhang Yang paused for a moment.
"Your Highness, King Wei, a balanced diet is not overeating, don't get it confused."
"When will your daughter call you dad again?"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Yang laughed loudly: "What does this have to do with my daughter?" Under Li Tai's resentful eyes, Zhang Yang walked into the village. At this moment, Master Jiang was knocking some iron materials in the blacksmith's workshop.
Beat and beat.
"Master Jiang, His Highness the King of Wei has something to do." Master Jiang put down the hammer in his hand.
"I will definitely handle the matters arranged by His Highness King Wei, old man." Zhang Yang took out the glass bead and said,
"Do you still remember this?" Master Jiang quickly covered his hands and looked around warily.
"Don't take this thing out, lest it attracts the attention of thieves." Glaze is precious, and even a duck-egg-sized glaze is worth a lot and will bring trouble.
Zhang Yang took out a piece of paper,
"This is the secret recipe for making colored glaze. When the iron is forged next year, Master Jiang must not destroy the furnace. His Highness the King of Wei asked us to secretly bake colored glaze." Master Jiang secretly wrote down the secret recipe and threw it aside.
Burnt in the charcoal fire,
"Baby, you also have a family, so don't be careful when doing things." Zhang Yang touched the tip of his nose angrily, thinking that the entire Lishan Mountain is my territory.
To be precise, it is his wife's territory. Zhang Yang and Master Jiang were talking about the firing process of colored glaze, and they also need to build some corresponding equipment, which can be prepared starting from the end of the year.
There were no other workers in the blacksmith shop, and the two sat together to discuss the plan.
"It's okay to come back at night and turn on the stove to work. This thing is much easier than blacksmithing. I just don't know how much His Highness the King of Wei wants?"
"I just need a few glazed boards. I can cut them and use them. Let's discuss them with Master Jiang first."
"Didn't you say that the quality of the glaze produced last time was not good?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has adjusted the secret recipe, so we can try it a few more times."
