Not long after Twelve Niangs left, Wang Sili emerged from his upright posture and said with a look of surprise: "That was the disciple of Gongsun Gongsun, the great master of swordsmanship just now! It is said that he got the true inheritance of sword dance from Gongsun Gongsun. I remember that I entered the palace with my father back then.
Chang'an, at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, I personally saw Gongsun Auntie leading her disciple Twelve Niangs to perform swordsmanship. The swords were really flying like thunder and lightning. Thousands of people were crowding around to watch, and the whole street was blocked."
"I was still a child at that time. My grandpa carried me on my shoulders and looked at her from a distance. Aunt Gongsun was like a fairy from the Nine Heavens, and her majesty was like a banished immortal. The most unforgettable thing for me was Li Twelve Niang. She was so extraordinary in that night of thousands of lights and stars.
She is as dazzling as the stars, and like the beautiful girl under the queen mother's throne, which I could not dream of when I was a boy. I thought that I would never see her again in this life, but I didn't expect that today I saw her thousands of miles away in Qixi. She
She actually got married and became a woman."
After saying that, he kept shaking his head and murmured: "How could she get married? It really makes me regretful and sad."
Huangfu Weiming couldn't understand Wang Sili's feelings, and regarded his chatter as a gaffe. He sat upright and turned his head and said: "She is a mortal woman, what's the big deal about marrying a human woman? It's you, Sili.
, it is really not a gentleman's behavior to visit someone else's house and stare at someone else's wife, and even take the initiative to ask her name. If I were her husband, and I saw you snooping on my wife like this, it would be easy for me to issue you an eviction order.
"
Wang Sili crossed his hands and apologized to Huangfu Weiming: "Sinong, don't blame me, the general has indeed lost his composure, because it brought back memories of the past."
"It's okay," Huangfu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't mention this kind of thing again, and don't let Li Siye know about it, just keep it in your heart."
General Wang nodded respectfully on the surface, but in his heart he was suppressing curiosity, which far exceeded Huangfu Weiming's curiosity. He wanted to see what kind of man could be lucky enough to marry Xian'e, the girl in his boyhood dream.
Huangfu Weiming's attention left his face and began to pay attention to the furnishings in the hall. His eyes were instantly attracted by the two screens standing on both sides of the platform.
He finally stood up from the ground regardless of etiquette, went to the Shule defense map on the screen on the left to look at it carefully, and followed the route he took to identify it: "This is the drawing method of the plan. From
The length of the grid on the drawing is estimated to be one inch per ten miles. This is the Xaluguan Station where we stayed, and here is a beacon of the Tang Army. What is this? This is what we saw in the Gobi Desert when we came here
A wind-eroded hill, so detailed! More than 400 miles around Shule are all covered in this picture!"
He turned around and looked at the map of Shule pasture. It had already been planned according to the division of pasture. The military pastoral area and the civilian pastoral area were demarcated according to the distribution areas of the two rivers. The four-season pastures also had different colors. From the combination of the two pictures
From a glance, the current location and situation of the Shule Army, as well as the position of the nomadic cavalry, are all clear at a glance. This can really be regarded as a good idea.
Huangfu Weiming turned around and pointed at the two pictures, and said with emotion to Wang Sili and the entire hall: "Based on these two pictures, I should give him a thumbs up. As for him, it doesn't matter whether I see him or not."
Already."
Wang Sili is sitting in front of the desk and looking forward to it. He has no official business in mind right now. He just wants to know what this lucky guy looks like and whether the peony is paired with chaff.
He put his hand on the table, coughed dryly and said, "Now that we are here, I still want to wait a moment."
Of course Huangfu Weiming didn't know what Wang Sili was thinking. He turned around and sat back in front of the desk. He straightened his body and knelt down, his eyes closed as if in the dark.
"He's here!" Wang Sili said in an exaggerated tone, dragging Huangfu Weiming out of his meditation. His shoulders shook before he opened his eyes, and glanced reproachfully at this subordinate, who was really making a fuss.
General Wang leaned forward from the desk so that his eyes could bypass the wide open lattice door and look towards the main door.
Under the focus of his eyes, a man with a broad build was walking on the corridor leading to the main hall. This man looked down at his feet. He wore an ordinary black gauze bun and an ordinary light crimson crotchless robe, with a waistband
The small gadgets on the swans collided with each other as they moved around, making clattering sounds. The goldfish bag was hung in a conspicuous position.
I couldn't see his face clearly from this distance, but his body shape looked very ordinary. There are many muscular men like this in the army, but I felt that his walking posture was very special, not like an officer who had advanced in the army.
They deliberately took a splayed step. His legs were slightly bowed, which is a problem caused by riding horses, but his feet were kept in a straight line with a splayed stance. No matter how low his head was, his waist was straight and his shoulders were straight as he walked.
Almost motionless, his arms swing back and forth like a pendulum. He has the stable lower body of ordinary martial arts practitioners, but is more flexible than them.
He had already reached the bottom of the steps. Wang Sili quickly withdrew his upper body and sat upright obediently, but his ears refused to relax, as if he wanted to distinguish the quality of the other person's footsteps.
Pa, pa, I seem to hear the sound of my feet jumping together, and then I hesitated for a moment, turning around to visually check how far I jumped? Finally, I stepped on the stone steps normally, and with the rustling of my feet before kicking, I made these sounds.
The master stepped across the threshold and walked towards the hall.
Wang Sili took a deep breath and looked up at the other party. His eyebrows were narrow and not thick, but his eyelashes were very long, making his slightly sunken eyes seem to be blocked by vegetation. The light that jumped out of his eyes was very lively, as if there was an unfettered feeling.
vitality.
He is indeed handsome, but he is just a model of a standard military commander. What is commendable about the man in front of him is not his appearance, but the free and easy spirit that permeates his body. It is naturally enough for an ordinary beauty, but if it is Twelve Mothers, God
No one down here can match her.
What a pity.
The other party's eyes just glanced from his face, then to Huangfu Weiming, and nodded politely. He was about to raise his hands to hold each other, but he didn't raise them high, and placed his fingers on his abdomen with his fingers intertwined.
"You're looking for me?"
Huangfu Weiming and Wang Sili stood up from the felt. They first bowed their hands towards Li Siye, then realized that they were playing businessmen, so they changed to a cross-hand salute. They bowed slightly forward, raised their thumbs and said, "We are traveling businessmen."
, came to Shule Town today, and occasionally heard that the town envoy diligently managed the place and was praised by the people, and then moved the heavens to make the Geng Gong Well in the city, which had been dry for 70 years, spring water. So I came here to see the town envoy, hoping that Li Zhen Envoy could
Let us in and have a taste of the clear water from Geng Gong's Well."
"Taste the spring water?"
Let’s think about the reason even more absurdly. Has any business traveler approached the envoy because he wanted to drink from the well? Which business traveler was so idle that he came to see him just for a drink of water? This reason is too arbitrary, even worse than Huangshi Gong’s.
To entertain Zhang Liang, he had to be explicit.
Li Siye sat down in front of the screen, cupped his hands and said, "Of course you can drink the water from the well, but don't be superstitious about its magical effects. It's just the river rising up and the spring coming out of the bottom of the well."
Huangfu understood what he felt in his heart, stroked his beard and asked, "May I ask Ambassador Li Zhen, is there any sign of the spring coming from the well?"
"It's just a rise in groundwater levels without any warning."
"Then why do people still regard the water from wells and springs as auspiciousness and rush to tell them about it?"
Li Siye stroked his short beard on his chin, took a deep breath and began to speak: "We don't know why the underground river has water. Instead of making random guesses, it is better to provide some guidance. People seek good luck and avoid bad luck, look forward to good omens, and long for
Smooth weather and longing for a smooth livelihood are all as unpredictable as the celestial phenomena. They just want to find a reason to prove that their future will be better than today. Why don't we comply with their wishes? The appearance of auspiciousness can satisfy their conjectures.
Tell them through supernatural phenomena that Shule Town will become more prosperous and prosperous under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, which will make them believe that the Tang Dynasty can be peaceful for a long time, and make them love this empire forever. And this is the benefit of auspiciousness. "
When Li Siye said these words, he did not pause during the whole process, and his tone became higher and higher every time. It was like a sonorous poem recited, with a clear tone and full of emotion. After listening to this words, Wang Sili finally understood why the Twelve Mothers chose to marry
