Chapter 51: Li Xiaoguan's debut
The sun sinks and the moon rises, and the moon sets and the sun rises again.
Although day and night are short, it is long and difficult for someone.
On the official road in the western suburbs, one horse and two mules ran towards Liujing.
On the horse that led the way was a fat man, wearing a big red brocade robe, proud and full of energy. Behind him, the two teenagers riding mules were frowning, yawning, and looking reluctant.
I set off at dawn and kept working. Before noon, the tall and majestic city not far away was clearly visible.
Looking at Liu Jing, who was hiding countless delicious dishes and beautiful girls, Li Xiaoguan looked inexplicably. He suddenly hung his horse's body dozens of steps away from the city gate, with a look of "sentence" on his face and sighed to the boy behind him.
"Afu, Pingzi, you don't know that An Wazi and I were here, defeating the enemy, and returning safely. I was successful in retreating, but An Wazi is different from a certain person. He is a person who does big things, so naturally I want to go back to Liujing to make a breakthrough and show the majesty of my Yuanjing Village..."
"What's the majesty in a small village where birds don't shit..."
Before Li Xiaoguan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the tall and thin boy muttering.
"That's it. Boss, you called Pingzi and me in the middle of the night, saying that you should help Anwazi... Boss, have you not woken up yet? Didn't Anwazi go as an apprentice? Could it be that we were asked to run from all over to help him cook medicine and run errands?"
The boy who spoke had a dark face and a solid body. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes as he spoke.
With a cold snorting, Li Xiaoguan turned his horse's head and looked at his two followers with a tiger's face, posing for a while, shook his head, looking like he was disappointed.
"Bo Chen sent a message to Yu, asking him to select three or four Junjies from Yuanjing Village to enter Liujing to help him achieve great things. Humph, who is the Bochen brother of a certain family? He can be on par with the women of aristocratic family. He can be a high-ranking official of a government for less than ten years. So he let you follow him and seek wealth in the future. Ah Fu, you are proficient in riding and shooting, and Pingzi is good at making suggestions. He is one of the best Junjies in Yuanjing Village. So he recommends you to follow Brother Bochen."
Li Xiaoguan has been with Mr. Li for so long, and he has seen the world, and he has seen the show less than An Bochen. His exaggerated words have blown the cowhide seven or eight levels, but it has a unique momentum, which has fallen into the ears of the "two heroes" in Yuanjing Village, but it makes them blush.
The young man with dark skin and solid body was Afu, who was "proficient in riding and shooting" by Li Xiaoguan. However, in the place where Yuanjing Village had a large slap, there were not even a few decent horses, let alone bows and arrows. The so-called "proficient in riding and shooting" was just Afu's ability to ride a short mule and raise a slingshot to shoot birds was really hot. Although it was not enough to be perfect, he could still get nine out of ten shots in 40 or fifty steps.
The tall and thin boy named Pingzi never left the village since he was a child. Although he could recognize a few words, he had never read serious articles. Li Xiaoguan said that he was good at making suggestions, but because a group of friends caused trouble, Pingzi could always find several decent excuses to excuse him. Among the followings who were born and raised in Li Xiaoguan when he was a child, he was considered a "superbian".
His eyes fell on the confident Li Xiaoguan and the Kyoto of Ryuko, not far away. Gradually, the "Shuangshou" of Yuanjing Village also felt his blood boiling. He sat on the back of the dull short mule, held his head and chest up, looking forward to his posture, just thinking that he really wanted to join the wise master and accomplish a great cause.
However, in a flash, the two teenagers looked at each other and became depressed at the same time.
"Old man...Boss, are we really going to join Anwazi?"
He grabbed his eyebrows and looked bitterly. The tall and thin boy touched his nose and asked embarrassedly.
It was finally easy to remember the unknown An Jiazi, but Pingzi could not associate the cowardly boy who was afraid of things with Li Xiaoguan's resourcefulness and unbearable "Brother Bo Chen".
"Hmph, the person who sent the message last night came and respectfully sent ten taels of silver to the two elders of the An family. Haven't you all seen it with your own eyes? Why are you still worried about?"
Putting aside the beginning, Li Xiaoguan pretended to be angry.
"Boss, maybe An Wazi stolen the money. Half of it was sent to the message, and the other half was hidden and returned home."
Seeing that Li Xiaoguan was silent, Afu smiled and continued.
"Laocun once said that I know that my son is the only one who knows that I am the one who knows. Look at the two elders of the An family are in a panic after receiving the money. They close the door without saying hello. Obviously, they know that An Wazi doesn't have that great ability to get the money by themselves. Hehe, I said, boss, An Wazi might have touched the money and was discovered by the store. Now they are running away. Please ask the boss to take care of him..."
Li Xiaoguan didn't say anything, but just looked quietly at the sparse city gate, with his eyes wandering.
In the past, what Pingzi and Afu said was definitely the truth. When they were in Yuanjing Village, An Wazi was famously timid and afraid of things. He was the kind of person who scolded him ten times and did not dare to reply. Even Li Xiaoguan felt contempt and teased him from time to time.
However, after the night when I still feel scared, An Wazi's position in Li Xiaoguan's heart was completely different, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a world-changing change. He took the sword and repelled the cavalry who killed people without blinking, held beautiful women from aristocratic families, talked and made a promise. These amazing actions were easily done by An Wazi, who was inconspicuous in daily life. From that moment on, Li Xiaoguan knew that An Wazi was no longer the son of the tenant who grew up with him.
Li Xiaoguan is lazy and greedy for fun, but he is not stupid. In a vague way, he could feel that with this, An Bo Chen would not stay in the small Yuanjing Village, and would do farm work day after day like his parents. Just as the old man on the stage said, this son was definitely not a thing in the pool.
Therefore, that night, An Bochen insisted on arriving in Liujing. Li Xiaoguan did not dissuade him. He also wanted to stay, but he knew how much he was. After the massacre of one night, he dared not stay in the prosperous capital that gradually became terrifying. During these days when he returned to the village, he played around with his former friends during the day. However, when it was late at night, he always thought of the young man who resolutely turned his head and broke into the capital, thinking about how he would settle down and make a name for himself.
Li Xiaoguan was full of confidence in An Bochen, but he also knew that no matter how smart An Wazi was, he was just a young man as old as him. No matter how powerful he was, he would not have made a name for himself in just a few days as he thought.
The previous bragging was just for An Afu and Pingzi's heart. After all, he couldn't guess what An Wazi was doing now. Being an apprentice in the store is already a great thing, but how could an apprentice earn so much money in just a few days?... Could it be that it was really like Afu said...
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiaoguan shook his head, dissipating his anxiety, and his expression gradually became firm.
Since An Wazi sent a message to invite her to come, she would have to leave no matter what.
Subconsciously, Li Xiaoguan thought of the "loyalty" that is often mentioned in the plays. An Wazi saved him. Even if this trip to Liujing was like a sea of swords and fire, he had to go in and make a breakthrough!
"Boss..."
Pingzi's inquiry came from behind, and Li Xiaoguan frowned and glared at the two of them fiercely.
"You know what's the matter, follow someone to the city!"
With his legs clamped his horse's belly, Li Xiaoguan patted the horse's buttocks heavily, widened his eyes, ran towards the city gate in a breeze, shouting.
"I, Li Xiaoguanren, are back!"
......
"I dare to make noise in the capital!"
The soldiers guarding the city were stunned when they saw a little fat man in a strange dress yelling and shouting. They looked strange and cursed in a blink of an eye.
"You, you, and you, come down for me!"
Li Xiaoguan had just reacted, scratched his head, laughed, obediently rolled down from the saddle, hesitated for a moment, took out a string of copper coins and handed them to the guard, and said with a smirk.
"Two elder brothers, I'll go back to Beijing to find a brother. I was excited before, so I hope I won't be surprised."
Seeing that the little fat man in front of him was so tactful, the guard also put away his previous fierce appearance, looked up and down at Li Xiaoguan, and sighed.
"Don't call me next time. You are lucky today. I feel soft-hearted when I meet the old man. If you are someone else, hehe, do you know what kind of day it is? Seeing you rushing around like this, you must have to arrest you for two days in prison."
Li Xiaoguan Weinuo laughed apologized. He was thinking about finding An Bochen, but he didn't care about anything else. At this moment, an exclamation came from his ears.
"This capital is indeed not comparable to that of our Yuanjing Village. It's so lively before lunch."
"Yes, Pingzi, there are more girls at the gate of this city than in our village..."
Li Xiaoguan turned his eyes and saw that the "two heroes" of Yuanjing Village whom he had high expectations were opened their mouths completely regardless of their image, looking at the city as if they were stupid. Li Xiaoguan was about to get angry, but his eyes were as if he was stunned.
At the end of the street, a group of girls wearing heavy makeup were waving their handkerchiefs, shouting, which was really lively.
Strange, this is not a big day.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiaoguan tried hard to withdraw his gaze, coughed twice, and put on airs.
"What are you looking at? I'll go find Bo Chen if you follow the little official!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard in front of the city gate moved his expression. He hesitated for a moment and asked Li Xiaoguan.
"Which Bo Chen?"
"Of course it's my Yuanjing Village, Amber Chen."
Li Xiaoguan wiped his nose and replied casually.
"Yuanjing Village? I don't know, I only know that there is An Bochen in Moyun Tower."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoguan's body shook and looked at the guard in surprise. After a while, he asked nervously.
"That's right, right, does the eldest brother know where he is?"
He looked at Li Xiaoguan curiously. In a blink of an eye, a strange look appeared on the guard's face, he smiled, and pointed his hand at the end of the long street.
