Li Siye pushed the door open and entered, and found that all the decorations in the room had been changed. There was no teapot for making tea, no bookshelf for books, and no white silk screen. There were only two desks and a screen with a leopard painted on it. Fumeng
Lingzhan sat cross-legged in front of the screen, his face serious.
"Li Siye, who holds a humble position, meets the Protectorate."
Fumeng Lingcha waved his hand: "There is no need to salute every time you come in. Let me ask you, how does it feel to return from Suiye City with the announcement of the decree? Is Mohe Khan still safe?"
Li Siye was surprised that when he saw him coming back alive, Protector Fumeng didn't have any expression of surprise on his face. Maybe he thought the announcement of the reward was a surprise, or had he already received the news in advance?
Li Siye quickly crossed his hands and said: "Not only is it unstable, after his subordinates announced the decree, Mohe Khan directly exploded on the spot when he heard that the position of the Ten Khans had been replaced. He repeatedly shouted for rebellion. The humble official repeatedly comforted him, and his mood was restored.
Stabilized. But I can be sure that he is still dissatisfied. He will never be content with the status quo and will definitely rebel."
Fumeng Lingcha stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Tuqi Shi Mohe is so arrogant that he actually wants to be a Khan with the ten surnames. If he rebels, we will kill him with the right skills. But I heard that you are breaking
In front of the Khan's tent in Yecheng, he criticized Hemo Khan with reasonable and well-founded arguments that rendered him speechless. This demonstrates the splendid magnanimity of our Tang Dynasty and should be rewarded."
Li Siye was secretly frightened, how could he know this kind of thing so quickly? Could it be that there are secret spies from the Protectorate beside me?
Fumeng Lingcha added: "I'm surprised that you did such a good job as a reward envoy. Go back and rest for a few days, pick up your own stall, and go down."
"Here." He bowed and crossed his hands, and was about to turn around and push open the next door, but he couldn't help it. He twisted his waist and turned around, put his hands together in front of his chest and asked his husband, Meng Lingcha: "Is there anything else in this humble position?"
A question."
"speak."
"Before Beizhi took over the reward envoy, he asked the Protector to transfer two people to Beizhi's Tiaodang Camp. Duan Xiu actually joined in as he wished, but Bai Xiaode..., Li Siye boldly requested the Protector..."
Fumeng Lingcha put away the dull expression on his face and waved his hands angrily: "It's enough if you have Duan Xiushi, why do you want Bai Xiaode? Bai Xiaode has already served as the brigade commander of the Guards.
How can you ask for it again?"
He tried to argue with his husband, Meng Lingcha: "I asked you to protect Rongzhen and Bai Xiaode first. There is always a first-come, first-served basis for everything. It would be a bit unethical for you to intercept him halfway."
Fumeng Lingzha showed an exaggerated look of surprise: "Who said that? Who said that I will transfer Bai Xiaode to you? Did I say this? I have long had a love for Bai Xiaode, so I transferred him
When we arrive, you, Li Siye, are the last to arrive, so hurry up and leave quickly!"
Fumeng turned his face sideways and waved his hands. He had no choice but to cross his hands and say: "If someone is crushed to death by a senior official, I admit defeat."
Li Siye turned around and exited the study. Fumeng Lingcha smiled and shook his head: "Ha, this kid actually wants to snatch someone from me, the guardian of the city. He is really unworthy of a man!"
He walked down the steps of the main hall of the Protectorate and saw Bai Xiaode standing in the courtyard with two guns. At this moment, he felt that this deal seemed to be a total loss. If it was just for Duan Xiushi, he would not risk death.
Despite the danger, he went to Suiye City to announce his decree. Although he finally returned without any danger and intact, the rewards he received were completely out of proportion to his efforts.
Bai Xiaode walked towards him quickly, crossed his hands and asked: "General Li, don't you want to talk to me? What are you talking about?"
Li Siye was not in a good mood and sighed: "We won't talk about it today, we'll talk about it another day."
He patted Bai Xiaode's shoulder for no reason and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get you over."
After Li Siye finished speaking, he strode away towards the front door, leaving a confused Bai Xiaode looking at his back and muttering to himself: "Where are you doing to me? What's going on? Why are you doing this to me?"
Li Siye led Hei Pang and headed home along the streets of Qiuci.
In the first few years of his struggle in Anxi, his relatives were far away in Chang'an, and he had no one to confide in. He could only think about Mei'er's life in Chang'an in his mind, and the days seemed to have passed by like this. Now the whole family
When he came to Anxi, he always had some ties in his heart. When he was on the march or camping at night, he would hold the back of his head and think about how many days it would take before he could return home.
Perhaps this is the first time in his two lives that he has truly experienced the feeling of home.
Li Siye led the horse into the backyard, tied the black fat horse in the stable, and touched the head of the other Baojun Qingzhao. They were more like Li Siye's two pets.
He took out the fodder from the fodder bag and sprinkled it into the trough, and whispered to the two horses: "Eat, you eat your fill first, so that I can eat in peace."
As soon as Li Siye stepped into the front yard from the small door in the backyard, he saw the old maid Wu Auntie facing him and shouted: "Alang is back."
Immediately afterwards, five or six inconsistent blunt voices sounded next to him: "Alang is well, congratulations to Alang."
Li Siye was startled, and turned around to see six maids bowing to him at the same time, with a strong Kangju accent coming out.
Mrs. Wu excitedly crossed her hands and asked him for credit: "Alang, how do you feel? I taught them a whole day today before they learned to say these words."
"You scared me. Don't clean up these useless things. Where are Twelve Niangs and Mei'er?"
Mrs. Wu squatted down and whispered: "Twelve Niangs are on the roof, and Mei'er is making tea in her room."
"What is she doing on the roof?"
Madam Wu curled her lips to express that she didn't know. Li Siye took two steps back in the courtyard and looked up to see Li Twelve Niang sitting on the dome roof. There was a stone pillar in the center of the dome, and she just hugged her legs like that.
Riding on a stone pillar, her white skirt fluttered gently in the wind, and she looked melancholy toward the southeast.
Li Siye visually measured the distance between the dome and the ground, and estimated that he would not die if he fell, so he probably did not intend to commit suicide. He walked into the door with confidence, then exited again, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and handed it to Mrs. Wu for instructions.
He said: "Tonight we will make lamb in a basin and roast a leg of lamb. There is pepper in it. I will go to the Qiuci market later to buy some soup cake slices. When I come back, I will make cake soup with onions and garlic. We will have a dinner together tonight."
"Here, Alang."
Now that Mrs. Wu has a servant to help her, she no longer has to run around by herself. She stands in the yard with her arms akimbo and directs: "Ah Er, go and pick off the half lamb from the hook in the cellar, and slice three kilograms of thin meat on it."
Ah San, I’ll give you these thirty dollars and go to the market to sell five kilograms of noodles. Ah Si, take off two lamb legs, marinate them with salt and pepper, and then smoke them with pine branches and give them to me! Don’t waste time.
!Go to work quickly!"
Li Siye came to Li Mei'er's room upstairs. She placed tea bowls and a lot of utensils that Li Siye didn't recognize on the sheep's felt. She elegantly knelt on the ground and cleaned the grinder with feathers.
He stepped forward and asked: "Are you still getting used to living here? Do you have any homework to review today?"
Li Meier nodded lightly. Li Siye wanted to speak, but she reached out and handed him a tea bowl. He had no choice but to reach out and take it. He happened to be thirsty, so he picked up the tea bowl and drank it all.
Li Meier frowned slightly and said, "Brother, you are not suitable for tea in this state. You'd better go out and calm down before coming back."
"I'm not here to have tea. Well, I'd better go out. Don't hide in the house all the time when you come to Kucha. You should go out to find some girlfriends and talk to others more."
Mei'er asked lightly: "Who am I talking to? To those Sogdian servants in the yard? They don't even know the Mandarin Chinese." She gave her brother a relaxed smile: "Brother, don't worry about me.
