Li Siye slowly approached the man and used the light from the fire to circle his face. Although his nose was bruised and swollen, he could still tell that he was handsome. He was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was a practitioner in the profession of facial expressions.
Is it like giving age?
"Just stay here and don't move."
Li Siye turned around with the horse in hand and knocked on the back door of the yard. The groom's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"I."
"Alang is back."
The groom opened the door, took the reins from Li Siye, leaned forward and saw the figure kneeling not far away, and just took a few more curious glances.
"Go to the kitchen and find him some food. I'll feed the horse."
"Here." The groom crossed his hands and turned around to go to the main courtyard through the side door.
Li Siye led Hei Pang into the stable, mixed the chopped forage and highland barley into the trough, and poured a bucket of water into the wooden basin. After doing this, the groom was already holding two bowls, a bowl of camellia oleifera and a bowl of camellia oleifera.
Bowl of bracken and highland barley noodles dry food.
He placed the bowl in front of the kneeling young man. The young man picked up the dry food in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, making his cheeks bulge. He choked and raised his hand to pinch his throat. He picked up the soup with the other hand and raised his head to drink it.
He went down. "Ahem!" There were pieces of debris in his mouth, flowing down his chin.
Li Siye sat on the threshold of the back door, staring at him deeply: "All the servants in Cheng Qianli's house are trying to catch you."
The boy's hand holding the bowl froze in the air, he stopped chewing and lowered his head, making a weak voice: "You are also on the street, you have seen it all."
"I saw it, but I don't pity you. You are not on the right track at your age."
"I'm not a face-shou!" He cried out in a cry, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "No, I don't want to be a face-shou."
"I'm a scholar! I want to get fame! But my father served in the Anxi Army and died in the battlefield, and my mother also fell ill and passed away. I can only wander around and copy letters for others in exchange for some money to study. But I met Cheng Wansu
Only after my sister..."
"Scholar?" Li Siye lowered his head and asked him: "Write your name and show it to me."
The young man knelt on the ground and groped around, grabbed a clod of soil and wrote three big characters in front of him.
"Yu Chao'er?"
"That's exactly what Rao's name is."
He was indeed a literate person, and regardless of whether his life experience was a fabricated lie or the truth, he really should not be lynched to death.
Li Siye turned around and told the groom: "Let him make a bunk on the ground tonight and sleep with you in the gatehouse in the backyard. Tomorrow morning we will hitch a carriage and send him out of the city."
"Here."
He stood up from the threshold and prepared to go back to the front yard. Yu Chao'er knocked his head on the ground three times in succession: "My benefactor, if Yu Chao'er can survive in the future, he will definitely repay my benefactor for surviving today."
Li Siye smiled indifferently, turned around and walked towards the front yard. The groom followed behind him and closed the door to the back yard. He shook his head and smiled: "My surname is Yu."
He stood in the yard and looked around with nostalgia for a week. He was about to move again. He always had no fixed place when he moved from official position to official position.
Li Meier walked out of the dome hall with a tea cup in her arms and poured the residue of the cup under the thorn willow tree. She turned around and saw her brother standing in a daze in the courtyard. She asked doubtfully: "Brother, why don't you go in when you come back?"
Li Siye nodded: "Please pack up your things, we will be moving in two days."
"Are you moving again?" Li Meier's eyes widened in annoyance: "I just moved here a few days ago, and I finally got to know a few ladies, and you're leaving again!"
"There is no other way. My brother is going to take office in a distant place, so I can only take you with him."
"Me! I have too many things to carry, and I can't leave. The vines I just planted! There are also the dowry and tea sets that others gave me. How can I carry these?"
"The grapevines were dug up by their roots, and the dowry, tea sets, and other items were removed. I hired an extra bullock cart to take them away with them."
"And! And this house, and this thorn willow tree, how do you take it! How do you take it!"
This was just nonsense, so Li Siye ignored her and walked straight into the room.
Li Meier was sitting on the steps in the yard and was sulking. Twelve Niangs quickly came out of the room to comfort her, and the old maids Wu Niangzi and Chen Niangzi also came forward to offer relief.
Li Siye returned to the study, stood in front of the window and saw his sister still complaining. He closed the wooden window sash, out of sight and out of mind.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Siye went to the backyard to lead the horse. The groom at home had already hitched up the carriage, and Yu Chao'er stood on the ground solemnly. Li Siye took out two pieces of silver from his arms and handed it to him: "I'll let the carriage at home take you there.
It’s not much money to leave the city, but it’s enough to cover your travel expenses to Chang’an or Luoyang, so let’s go.”
"Thank you, benefactor."
Li Siye looked at his clothes stained with blood scabs and ordered the groom: "Bring him two replacement clothes."
"Here."
Li Siye led the horse, and the coachman drove the pallet truck out of the back door, passed through the square gate and came to the street. They came from the opposite direction to the north and south, while Xiaoyu Chaoer got up from his knees in the carriage and put his eyes on the
Through the gap, I watched the strong figure leading the horse farther and farther.
…
Fujimaki had been waiting for a long time in the courtyard of the Anxi Protectorate Soldier Cao Gong's house. Soldiers drawn from various camps in Anxi also arrived separately, and the two new captains came to pay their respects to him.
This is the team of officers sent to the escort team of Khan Jue. Fujimaki and the two captains were promoted temporarily. It is not a good job to go to Talas to serve as a guard for some Khan, and naturally a certain amount of compensation must be given.
The three chatted for a while to get a preliminary understanding. Then the brigade commanders and commanders in the team were selected. The officers gathered together to get familiar with each other, and the entire team was integrated. The next adjustments to the battle formation were made.
, which can be gradually improved during marching training.
Li Siye came here specially to take care of Fujimu. His performance in reorganizing the team was quite remarkable. It seemed that he had learned a lot from coming to Qixi.
He patted Teng Mu on the shoulder, led him for a walk in the yard, and then told him something: "The ten surnamed Khans were escorted by a Dragon Warrior Army of 500 people from the capital. These people are arrogant, arrogant and arrogant.
Big. You put Shi Xin’s safety first and try not to engage in internal strife. Even if you want to suppress their arrogance, wait until Shi Xin is safely sent to Talos."
"Long Wujun, that sounds pretty bluffing, could it be Wanqi?"
"That's right, it's Yuan Yu Linjun Wanqi."
"Oh." Fujimaki opened his mouth and nodded.
"One more thing, you must be careful during this trip. It is very likely that you will be ambushed secretly by the Tuqi Shi Huang tribe. The Duhufu has sent additional troops from Dialhuan City to follow you secretly. It shouldn't be a big deal if you are in the dark.
Question. Please give me the route of your escort."
"Well, my subordinates are planning to transfer from Diazhuan City to Dashi City and then exit Dunduo City through Boda Ridge. However, I am not planning to go from Atami Lake because it is too close to Suiye. I am planning to go along the Zhenzhu River.
Take a circuitous route to the back of Qianquan Mountain, pass between Asbrai City and Julan City, and finally reach Talos."
"Be careful to change routes randomly and don't give your opponents a chance to intercept you."
"Here."
The two of them walked in a circle to the entrance of the courtyard. Cheng Qianli stepped in wearing a hunting suit. He stood on the steps and said with a smile: "I wanted to give the escort a few words, but I didn't expect that General Li had already arrived first."
Li Siye also crossed his hands and smiled: "Cheng Duhu, your advice is really useful. How dare Siye overstep his authority?"
Cheng Qianli coughed seriously and said to Teng Mu: "Officer Teng, have the five hundred people under your command finished preparing?"
"Go back to the Protectorate and get ready to go!"
"Then set off immediately, rendezvous with the Longwu Army, and escort the Khan out of the city."
"Here."
…
When Fujimu led all the soldiers and horses to the city gate, the Longwu Army was already lined up and ready to go. In order to show their aura, these guys put on heavy fine scale armor and wore helmets on their bodies. Their military appearance was impressive.
Surprised.
The captain followed him with his horse and asked in a low voice: "Should we also wear armor?"
"Why are you wearing that thing? There is still a thousand-mile road to cover. They have to take it off as soon as they leave the city. We, the Anxi Army, don't need to look glamorous."
Shi Xin Khan's car was ready to set off. Pots, pans, and cockfighting cages were shaking with the vehicle. After he got on his horse, he looked up at the Longwu Army in front of him. The armor was majestic and the silver was shining. Tsk, this is terrible.
Khan's personal guard. He looked back at the formation of the Anxi soldiers, and suddenly looked disgusted. You can't give me any face in the city. What are the tattered things on the horse? Water bags, military pots, rolled felts, and dry food.
Bags? Broken boots! These don't look like Khan and my guards. They are simply refugees on the run.
