After bathing and changing clothes, Li Siye felt refreshed and comfortable. This comfort made people feel like falling into a fairyland. Think about it, he didn't take a shower for more than two months, never took off his clothes, never took off his armor, and slept on the ground in the open air.
During sleep, the dirt and sweat stains on the surface of the body have condensed so much that even the mid laner has a thick layer of gray salt and salt. How can one not feel happy in life after suddenly losing so much weight?
This kind of comfort is second only to having nephrite in your arms.
Madam Xu came forward and reported: "Madam, Alang, the wine has been warmed and the meat has been cut. Please go to the front hall to eat."
He suddenly remembered that Pei Guoliang was waiting for him at home with food and wine. If he broke the appointment, he would be disrespectful. He raised his hand and patted his forehead in regret and said, "I'm really sorry, madam, I can't accompany you and Mei."
My son is having dinner at home, but there are still some important matters in the army and the Governor's Mansion that I need to deal with."
Unexpectedly, the Twelfth Mother was unmoved. She knelt down in front of her and said solemnly and calmly: "Everyone knows that you have just returned from leading the army today and are exhausted. Who can come to you for work so blindly? They can't wait until tomorrow."
?Unless someone wants to buy you a drink to celebrate."
Li Siye put his forehead in shame and said quickly: "I dare not hide it from my wife. I did agree to Pei Guoliang's drinking party."
Twelve Niang nodded: "Okay, you can go, just remember to come back early."
He cupped his hands and smiled to express his gratitude to Twelfth Niang, and at the same time lamented in his heart that marriage is a man's grave. Before marrying her, how dare Twelve Niangs dare to be so meddlesome? Now that she is a real wife, she has everything that belongs to her.
Right of domination.
Under the service of Twelve Niangs, he put on his outer robe and wrapped his head in a turban and was about to go out when Twelve Niangs suddenly asked: "By the way, have the three children been named?"
"Oh, the eldest son Li Chongyun, the second daughter Li Chongle, and the third son Li Chongbao."
Twelve Niang asked strangely: "Why do you sound the same generation as Zhao Chongxuan? Don't you hate him?"
Li Siye turned around and was stunned for a moment: "I really haven't thought about this, but he probably won't care."
Li Siye turned around and went out, picked up the lantern from the house servant, and went to the governor's house in Shule while the sky was still dark.
Pei Guoliang came out of the mansion and cordially invited Li Siye to the table. He said he would wait and see, hoping that the general would look forward to seeing him.
They entered the dome-roofed house, and the guests and hosts sat on the beech beds on both sides. There were fruits, grapes, and glass wine cups on the high table in front of them.
Governor Pei extended his hand to invite him: "General, please drink this cup to the full."
Li Siye held it up with both hands, showed respect to each other from a distance, tasted it slowly and poured it into his mouth.
Pei Guoliang raised his hands above his head and gave high fives. Four women with lotus bowls on their heads and draped in concubine-colored gauze walked out gracefully. They wore tight thin light green clothes on their upper bodies, with short sleeves, revealing their slender waists.
There were copper bells hanging on the sides, and the skirt was so short that it was an eye-opener for Li Siye.
He knew that this kind of clothes was probably Pei Guoliang's original creation and could only be worn when dancing in the palace. It could only be said that Governor Pei's aesthetic vision had transcended the boundaries of time and space for more than a thousand years. Even Li Siye felt that after seeing it,
If Twelve Niang knew that he came here to watch this kind of dance, she would probably not give up.
He turned to look at Pei Guoliang and found that there was no obscene look in his eyes. He was just leaning on the back of the bed to admire it quietly. Perhaps it was a gesture of appreciating art, which made a person like him who thinks too much feel ashamed.
When night fell, accompanied by Yan Xiaosi, he returned to the mansion with a lantern.
Early the next morning, Li Siye went to the backyard stable to take out the Yezhao Jade Lion, and pulled it into the front yard to share his joy with his wife and sister and show off his new mount.
"How about it? It's beautiful. There is only one horse like this in millions. It is definitely a magical horse that can travel thousands of miles a day."
The two women just smiled and praised the horse's beauty, saying that it would be very cool to ride it, but that was all. Their understanding of the mount was only superficial.
Zhao Chongxun also happened to come to the house and was full of praise after seeing the horse. He handed the book dividing rewards and seizures to Li Siye.
Li Siye flipped through the book and looked at it. On the first page, there was a dense pile of gold, silver, cattle, sheep, war horses, etc., all of which were distributed to General Li Siye based on his merits. Flipping through the next few pages, there was also a lot of information.
They are all for General Li. When you turn to the eighth page, you will see the rewards and captured items for officers at all levels. At the end, most of the soldiers and the families of a few of the dead soldiers will be distributed. A small amount of livestock and property will also be distributed.
He held the book up flat, grabbed the first few pages of the book with his right hand, and tore them off with a loud bang.
Zhao Chongxun was horrified. He didn't know that he had touched General Li's inverse scale in some aspects, but he actually started to fight like this in public?
Fortunately, Li Siye did not throw away these pieces of paper, but handed them to Zhao Chongxuan again, and said: "Redistribute the rewards registered on these pieces of paper, and give more to those with military exploits, those who were injured and disabled, and those who died in battle."
The soldier’s widow must obey the instructions truthfully.”
Deputy Zhao made his hand cross and said: "This is not in accordance with the regulations. Envoy Li, the list of promoted officers and the list of rewards and seizures must be reported to the Anxi Protectorate. Envoy Zhen, you came up with a plan to attack Suiyechuan lightly and captured forty heads.
Third, personally capturing the third son of Mohe and killing Sonadu, the first warrior of Tuqishi, are worthy of the first place no matter where you look. If you don’t want these financial rewards, then what are these from our Shule army?
How dare the soldiers take their share?"
Li Siye raised his head and thought for a moment before replying: "In that case, write on the first page of the reward list that Li Siye ranks first in merit and does not own any private property, but he loves a good horse and will be captured as a Jade Lion of Zhaoye, which is worth
Ten thousand gold should be worth all the rewards."
Zhao Chongxun once again got confirmation from Li Siye's expression before crossing his hands and saying, "Here."
After General Zhao retreated, Li Siye personally went down to the field, combed the jade lion's hair, caressed his back and sighed: "From now on, you will be my mount blessed with a halo of charm. Twelve Niangs, Li Mei'er, why don't you come and ride for a while?
Want to experience what it’s like to ride a white horse?”
When he turned around, he realized that there was no one in the yard, and he was left talking to himself. But after a while, Feng Changqing was standing at the door with his hands crossed, as if he had something to say.
He waved to Feng Changqing and said: "Chang Qing, come here quickly, what a good horse."
"Yes, a good horse." Feng Changqing just followed his words and praised him. Obviously his mind was not here. When Li Siye was combing the horse's reins and still thinking to himself, he took the initiative to break his interest and crossed his arms: "General Li, I
I want to ask you to send me a few people to complete the Shule defense map, and also want to draw a topographic map of Congling, so I will use the contour line method to draw it."
"Really, this is a good thing. However, Congling is surrounded by mountains and rivers and there are many snow peaks. It is very difficult to draw a picture. If you don't do it well, you may encounter an avalanche. It is really too dangerous."
Feng Changqing insisted: "I have thought about this for a long time and have made up my mind. I also ask the general to agree."
Li Siye tugged at Qian's beard and wondered, Feng Changqing has the potential to be a general in battle. Is his current enthusiasm for map surveying a bit biased? Will this lead him to a path of no return, and eight horses can't pull him back? This
Is it good or bad for him?
"It will be of great benefit to our army to find out the context of the mountains and rivers in Congling and map it within a few inches. I also ask the general to agree."
"Of course, I have any reason not to support it, so be it." Li Siye patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will send you a team and a drum truck. If you have any other requirements, I can satisfy them."
Give you all."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to use the drum cart. I only need silk, pen and ink, and human hands."
Li Siye said silently in his heart, I even want to give you the GPS and altimeter, but it's a pity that I can't do it, General.
"Okay, when will we leave?"
"Of course, the sooner the better, preferably tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll see you off at the city gate tomorrow."
…
The next day, Feng Changqing was eager to set out on the road. He was accompanied by more than fifty people, each carrying a painting tube and making his own protractor and measuring stick. Li Siye ordered his soldiers to prepare wine at the gate of the city and filled it himself.
He handed the cup to Feng Changqing and told him: "When you arrive in Congling, you will be guarding Yu Gou. He often travels between the mountains and rivers in Congling. He also knows many hidden people. He can find you a guide, and he can also guide you."
I’ll give you every help.”
"Well, thank you General for your concern."
"Also, try not to cross the Bolek River and don't expose yourself to the eyes of the Tibetan people. As long as you ensure your own safety, you will have many opportunities to paint in the future."
Li Siye brought another glass of wine, and Feng Changqing took it with both hands and drank it down.
"General Li, please rest assured that Feng Changqing will definitely bring you the complete topographic map of Congling. I can guarantee that this map will be useful within three years."
