Chapter Twelve: Tiance Mansion! Third Rank Martial Artist!
Tiance Mansion!
Also known as "Tiance General's Mansion", it was an official residence built by Emperor Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to commend Li Shimin for his outstanding military exploits and confer him the title of General Tiance. It was also one of the landmark events for Li Shimin to proclaim himself emperor in the future.
Tiance Mansion is the head of all the military officer mansions in the Tang Dynasty, and its status is still higher than the Fourteenth Guards Mansion; all the warriors in the Tang Dynasty official family are not under its control!
The position of General Tiance is above the Prince and the Three Dukes, and second only to the three divisions at the head of Confucian civil servants: Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao.
Admiral Tiance can recruit talents himself as officials in Tiance's mansion, which is the so-called "allowing one's own officials".
Li Hongying took Li Xingyun to his mansion.
Under the eaves in front of the gate, stood four soldiers, all wearing heavy black armor, each of them majestic and full of momentum.
Li Xingyun could feel that the four soldiers who were just guarding the gate were only one step away from reaching the ninth level martial arts refining realm.
He looked at the huge mansion again and sighed: "It is indeed a place where the warriors of the Tang Dynasty gathered. Even a mansion has a sense of oppression with soaring blood."
Li Hongying smiled extremely proudly, with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, and said: "This is just a service residence stationed in Chang'an. The real Tiance Mansion is in Luoyang, the eastern capital, where all the soldiers are elite soldiers! No one is a coward.
!Wearing thick armor, they are the last line of defense of the Tang Dynasty."
Looking at Li Hongying's extremely proud expression, Li Xingyun could completely understand it.
But looking at the Tiance Mansion in front of him, he thought of Ye Lingyun of the Great Qin Ye Mansion to whom he had been compared since he was born.
He was a warrior with the appearance of a martial god. Over the years, he had already reached the peak of the third level. Even the famous General Tiance of the Tang Dynasty had just stepped into the third level of martial arts. It is conceivable that he would face in the future
What a huge mountain it is.
However, Li Xingyun must take his mother back. Even if there are huge mountains ahead, he still has to level them!
"Li Xingyun, you and this sister wait for me at the door." Li Hongying did not forget that she came to the mansion, but due to the intricate relationship between various cultivation systems, she could not directly let Li Xingyun follow her.
After all, all the major cultivation systems consider martial artists to be vulgar, and martial artists simply don't like to interact with the outside world.
Everyone is doing their own thing, please don’t contact us if nothing happens, and if you have anything to do, we’ll talk about it later.
"Okay, thank you."
Having said that, Li Hongying stepped into Tiance Mansion with brisk steps and holding the Fire Spear in one hand.
"Miss!" The soldier noticed Li Hongying walking to the door and bowing with a gun.
"I'm back!" Li Hongying ran straight towards the mansion, shouting happily.
At the door, the soldiers also noticed the two Li Xingyun who followed their young lady.
The first thing that caught my eye was Qin Keqing. That flawless face was really eye-catching.
Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone one whose appearance is cleansed by the divinity of Mingzhou-level writing and ink.
They are usually rough guys, but how have they ever seen such a beauty?
They were curious when such a stunning beauty came to Chang'an??
Qin Keqing, who had been stared at since she left the house today, felt the gazes of several people and turned her head slightly.
Her beautiful eyes glared at Li Xingyun and said, "Your Majesty, I think it would be better to wear a silk scarf."
"It's not that you are shameless. If such a beauty cannot see the light of day, what will you do to all the women in the world? With their faces covered?"
"Wrong sense!"
"How can the words of scholars be called unreasonable? These are righteous words."
Qin Keqing couldn't talk to him, so he had to talk to Li Xingyun about the Tiance Mansion in front of him.
"I heard that Tiance Mansion is closely involved with Jianghu. Is this true?" Xu knew that there was a third-grade martial artist in Ye Mansion that Li Xingyun would inevitably come into contact with in the future. Qin Keqing was also very concerned about some of the martial arts forces and things.
As a scholar, Li Xingyun is not indifferent to what is going on outside the window, and only reads books by sages.
Naturally, he has heard about the super power of Tiance Mansion.
"The first group of people who established the Tiance Mansion included many people from the Jianghu who followed Emperor Taizong. Later, they continued to do things by absorbing the people from the Jianghu. So that they are now in an embarrassing situation. Internally, some of them are just hanging around.
They are martial arts people in the Jianghu. But to the outside world, they are the defenders of the Tang Dynasty government, and they are not very popular with either side."
"But there is no doubt about the power of Tiance Mansion. After so many years, Tiance Mansion has been influenced by the Confucian semi-sage's military books and learned many military tactics. Among them, the famous collective tactics were created by Emperor Taizong, who was awarded the title of Great Confucian.
, and later he was promoted to Half-Saint with the help of national luck!"
In Li Xingyun's mind, he has memories of studying hard for ten years in his previous life, so he naturally feels comfortable talking about these things.
Qin Keqing also stood there obediently and listened attentively, looking at him with a smile on his face with a pair of bright, beautiful eyes.
There is really only one person in your eyes, nothing else.
"Tiance Mansion is so powerful, I really don't know what the scenery is like in the place called the Holy Courtyard."
"Confucianism and Taoism are the first system of cultivation recognized by the world, and the academy founded by the first saint of the human race is as powerful as a royal palace." As a scholar, Li Xingyun speaks truthfully without flattery or flattery.
The status of the Confucian Holy Academy is needless to say. Whether it is Confucian scholars, martial artists, or practitioners of other systems, they all respect it.
"I believe that when the crown prince becomes a saint, his power will surpass that of Ye Mansion." Qin Keqing said with firm eyes. The saint she spoke of was naturally a semi-saint.
Because there is only one true Confucian saint, but there are also sub-sages and semi-sages. Every once in a while, another one will appear, who is also called a saint.
The two of them were standing at the door chatting, but Li Xingyun, who was very sensitive, suddenly heard the sound of iron hoofbeats coming from a distance.
The sounds range from weak to loud, all neatly!
He looked away and saw a group of people running towards the end of the long street.
The four soldiers who were originally at the door also heard the sound of horse hooves, and they all dressed up and walked down the stone steps in front of the Tiance Mansion.
Stand in two rows and wait quietly for someone to come.
After a while, a group of people stopped in front of the gate of Tiance Mansion.
The leader dismounted. He was about forty years old. He was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face was full of heroism.
"General!"
The soldiers at the door came forward and greeted him respectfully, and took the horse's rope.
"Is he the general of Tiance Mansion? Is he Li Hongying's father?" Li Xingyun, who was standing aside, looked at the man and saw a third-grade martial artist for the first time.
He had heard about the general's deeds.
Li Junqin! After Li Ji, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, he was hereditary British Duke.
The Li family has been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for generations. The first British Duke Li Ji was good at using troops. History said that he "responded to the enemy and used the right timing". His book The Art of War was promoted to the fourth rank of Confucian scholar!
And Li Junqin is also familiar with various military arts, and his spear skills are beyond the reach of others.
A third-grade martial artist, even if the opponent does not particularly exude a martial spirit, still gives people an invisible sense of oppression.
One can imagine how strong that third-grade peak martial artist in Ye Mansion really is.
The road ahead is long...
Just when Li Xingyun thought of Ye Lingyun from the third-grade martial artist in front of him, a fiery red figure also rushed out from the door of Tiance Mansion.
When the other party saw Li Junqin, he called out in a sweet voice: "Father!"
Li Hongying likes guns, and he has a father in his family who can be said to be the most skilled gunman in the entire Tang Dynasty, so he naturally admires him.
"Hongying, why are you back at this hour?" Li Junqin was a little surprised when he saw his legitimate daughter.
"I encountered something while patrolling the streets, and I brought back two friends. Aren't you training at the school these days? Why did you come back suddenly?" Li Hongying looked at her burly father in front of her. She, who was originally tall, also looked delicate.
A few points.
What martial arts train is the body, and it is normal to be taller than practitioners of other systems.
Li Junqin was even more surprised when he looked at Wen Mo in his daughter's arms.
"You don't like these Confucian things, and you have thrown them aside to collect dust at home. Why do you want to take them out today?" Li Junqin looked at them and suddenly asked, "Did you get into trouble again outside?"
If someone breaks something, do I need to compensate them?"
In his opinion, since she sent Li Hongying to Dali Temple, she likes to punish rapes and eliminate evil in the streets of Chang'an all day long, but sometimes she breaks some innocent people's things, and she will go home and take things of equal value as compensation.
.
This should be the case now.
However, this was the first time he saw Li Hongying come out to make amends with Wen Bao in his arms.
We must know that cultural treasures can only be produced if they are at least in the Juren state. Every cultural treasure is extremely precious.
"My daughter did not get into trouble today. She even taught a lesson to a short-sighted person who wanted to cause trouble. These things were given to a friend I met yesterday. He is a scholar. He will be taking the imperial examination the day after tomorrow. My daughter wanted to ask someone for something, so I thought of giving these things to someone.
Give him the things that are useless to me." Li Hongying's voice was sweet and waxy, and her green aura made people unable to help but feel protective.
"Oh?" Li Junqin was a little curious when he heard this: "Scholar? You didn't like to deal with scholars before, but now you are willing to make friends with them?"
"Here, he's right there." Li Hongying glanced around, her eyes stopped on Li Xingyun, and motioned to Li Junqin to look over.
Feeling the locked gazes from the Li family's father and daughter, Li Xingyun also led Qin Keqing forward.
He clasped his fists at Li Junqin and said, "I've heard about the general's reputation for a long time, my student Li Xingyun."
With just one glance, Li Junqin could see the uniqueness of Li Xingyun.
"Hongying said that you haven't taken the imperial examination yet, but you are surrounded by talent." He realized a possibility.
Somewhat surprised, he asked: "Are you a former Saint??"
"That's right! The Mingzhou poem that made a fuss in Chang'an yesterday was written by him! The bachelor said that his Mingzhou poem can make my musket go to the next level."
"Wait...what did you say?" Li Junqin's eyes were shocked, and then he stared at Li Hongying and asked: "You said that the Mingzhou poem that was circulated yesterday was written by him?"
"Clear water brings out hibiscus, and nature removes the carvings?"
"Yes." Li Hongying nodded. She didn't know why her father became excited.
Li Junqin received the correct response and turned to look at Li Xingyun, with a smile on his originally serious face.
He said three times in a row: "Okay! Okay! Okay!!"
