"It took me ten years to sharpen a sword, but I haven't tried the frost blade yet. Today I will show you my sword. Who can have any injustice..."
Li Chun carefully wiped the sword in his hand and chanted his favorite words casually. It sounded a bit generous and intense, but with the smile on his face, there was no momentum at all, and there was only a hint of emotion revealed in his voice.
The wisps of regret can still fit in with it.
There is no other way. As the younger sister of King Li Po of Han, she has learned swordsmanship for ten years, but has little use for it. At most, she can only bully the men and women of the Han Dynasty. It is indeed a pity.
Of course, the eldest lady of the Han Palace was still in a good mood. The war was about to start, and her brother and sister-in-law were very busy, so no one dared to talk to her about the marriage... As for the upcoming war, she was not at all aware of it.
Don't care.
You know, the war has never stopped for more than ten years, and she has long been a little numb... Moreover, her brother has won every battle, which does not leave her any room to worry.
Well, it's obvious that she didn't realize the difference in this battle.
As for her, the only thing that bothers her now is her husband who is still hiding somewhere. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but she really wants to cut off that man's head with one sword, and cut off her own first.
Let’s talk after you calm down.
"good."
Empress Xiao, who was standing on the railing, touched her palms and smiled, gave a soft praise, and smacked her hands secretly. She felt as if she had received fine wine and delicacies, and was intoxicated without realizing it, with a long aftertaste.
Looking at the imageless Li Chun sitting cross-legged on the ground with a bright smile, she is also a little bit regretful. She has a profound literary background, and the image of a heroic hero who sings with a sword and wears a coir raincoat has taken shape as soon as she hears a good sentence.
What I saw before me was extremely out of place.
"Alas, there are so many eloquent words while standing on the railing and holding a sword, but life and death are always unspeakable..."
"You are young and rich, so why should you like such a powerful voice?"
Empress Xiao sighed and couldn't help but give advice. It was really hard to see such a smart kid carrying a sword all day long and always wanting to stab someone.
If it were put later, I would definitely have to add, you are so tough, how are you going to get married in the future?
Li Chun shook his head and laughed. It wasn't that he didn't understand, but that he didn't care at all. "It's not easy to live in these days. How can you be more cruel?"
As he spoke, he flicked the blade of the sword. The sword was ignorant, but it responded softly. As the green light flashed, Li Chun nodded with satisfaction and stood up with the sword. After a little movement, it bounced into the air.
The sword flies across the sky.
"Zhao Ke is wearing a tassel, Wu is covered with frost and snow is bright, the silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star. Kill one person in ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles..."
She is as quiet as a virgin, moves like a rabbit, her steps are moving around every square inch, her sword is as bright as snow... Just as she has learned, no one can approach within seven steps, and with Aunt Gu's teachings, she is concise and sharp.
It also has the meaning of lightness.
Although there is no music to accompany it, it still shows a wandering state, coupled with the chanting in the mouth, it is a sword dance.
Empress Xiao seemed to be frightened by the sword energy and took a few steps back. In her heart of surprise, she could not help but start beating the drums.
The palace attendants not far away also stretched their necks at this time...
"Who can write your Excellency, Baishou Taixuan Sutra?"
Before the sound lingered, Li Chun casually sheathed his sword and stood tall, his eyes like stars, his brows lightly raised, his heroic spirit overflowing, like an ancient knight appearing across time.
Canran smiled and watched Empress Xiao raise her head slightly. The meaning was obvious. Her voice was powerful, but it was not just for men.
This is such a proud person... Empress Xiao smiled to herself. Of course, in her opinion, no matter how extraordinary the sword dance was, it could never compare to the exquisite accompaniment of the song.
"This... seems to be another masterpiece by Medicine Master Li?"
After finishing speaking, they looked at each other for a moment, then they all laughed. Li Chun sat back on the ground, holding his long sword across his knees, while secretly cursing in his heart that the Queen was so ignorant that she didn't even praise her.
She created her own sword dance and said: "Big brother said yes, then that's it..."
Empress Xiao twirled her hair on her temples. Li Yaoshi, I have seen that man once. He became famous when he was young, but he was just mediocre when he was older. He just gave birth to a good daughter, and the daughter married a good son-in-law. Maybe he became a martial artist.
, above all literary talents, huh... How can Kansai people be handsome and romantic?
Furthermore, she had heard and read countless poems, but it was hard to find anyone who could compare with this. With just a slight smack, she could feel the fragrance on her lips and teeth, and a heroic aura hit her face, as if in just a short moment, she said:
He did everything the ancient knights thought and did.
Coupled with the sword dance, it is the icing on the cake, complementing each other. How can Li Yaoshi do it if he is a man who pursues fame and fortune?
Obviously, these are all tailor-made for the woman in front of me. Thinking of this, she is already in her prime. She has experienced flourishing flowers, the comfort of wealth and prosperity, and has also seen the ups and downs of war, life and death, and she boasts that she is an ancient well.
, she was not moved by external things, but there was a slight hint of jealousy in her heart.
As a result, her still beautiful face was stained with a little dust...
"I heard that the King of Han is planning to raise an army again?"
"Well, it's just normal... But my eldest brother often uses troops after autumn. This time, with such a big fanfare, I'm afraid someone will make him unhappy again."
"Well, as the war breaks out, I don't know how many people will be displaced again. I might as well advise His Highness the King of Han that soldiers and weapons should be used with caution."
After hearing this, Li Chun tilted his head and looked at Empress Xiao, thinking, Mr. Yang Guang was running around, making the people miserable. Even his brother and sister had to escape from death. You didn't persuade him at that time.
Advice? Isn’t it a bit late to say this now?
Well, they actually have little interest in war, and it's hard to say they have any real insights.
Li Chun sneaked into the palace and didn't stay long. He chatted with Empress Xiao, had dinner, and then went back home. Her life was actually much more nourishing than other people's.
………………………………
In the study room at the back of the Han Dynasty, Li Chun led his apprentice, who came slowly with a food box in his hand.
Today it was Shen Qingnu's turn to be on duty outside. When he saw the two of them, he immediately came forward and saluted, "I have met Your Highness the Princess."
Li Chun waved his hand. Hearing the title felt new and a bit awkward. Princess Fufeng County... seemed to be a generation younger than his brother?
Well, a few days ago, Li Po had granted his "hometown" to his sister. Logically speaking, even the son of the emperor in a large county like Fufeng might not be able to get involved, let alone the sister of the King of Han.
Of course, no one has any objection to such a title, because everyone understands that it is just a title, with no practical significance, and it is still far from being worthy of the title.
"Is the king here?"
"The king is having a conversation with Wang Shangshu. It is not easy to disturb them. Your Highness, could you please wait for a moment?"
Shen Qingnu was sweating. In front of the princes and nobles, he had to speak elegantly and implicitly, but also respectfully. This made the chief beggar in Luoyang feel that life was difficult. It was difficult to express in words, so he had to recite some clichés, and the matching words could only be said.
It's unsatisfactory.
……………………
In the study, Wang Ze was reporting on his work, and Li Tang's envoy was undoubtedly the top priority.
The Tang envoy went through Tongguan and crossed the river at Fengling. He was immediately led to Jiangjun by Pei Shiqing.
In order to avoid suspicion, Pei Shiqing, who had just returned to his hometown, only sent his assistant officials to accompany him. The children of the Pei family and his subordinates were not allowed to come near. When he sent someone to report to Jinyang, he also expressed his intention to send the Tang envoy to Jinyang quickly.
In fact, these are of no use. Jiangjun is the ancestral home of the Pei family. There are many ways to secretly communicate with the Tang envoys, but what they do now is just superficial.
It's just that few people care about this at this time. Once the war machine starts to squeak and squeak, this ferocious behemoth has strong inertia. "Small" obstacles and rust can't stop it from moving forward.
.
The official envoy of Li Tang was called Li Gui. Doctor Zuo Guanglu of Li Tang was the king of Hanyang County, the nephew of Li Yuan clan, and the younger brother of Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao County. His status was no less than that of Li Shentong brothers.
The deputy envoy is a guy named Ma Sanbao, who is quite famous in Kansai. He is one of the few generals in Kansai who is born as a commoner. He is currently Dr. Zuo Guanglu, the prince's supervisor, and a baron of Xinxing County.
Although this man was of low birth, his origins were not simple. When he was young, he was the schoolboy of Chai Shao, the consort of Prince Consort. When Li Yuan went south to Chang'an, he ran away with Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang.
Later, Li Xiuning gathered a crowd and Ma Sanbao was rewarded for his meritorious service in recruiting the Kansai thieves and for "preserving" Li Yuan's family at a critical moment.
In fact, it doesn’t need to be said too much. This is an inspirational story about a domestic slave. It is unique in this era and will probably be classified as a legend in the future.
Of course, like many legends, ordinary people see the excitement, but discerning people see the reasons.
Ma Sanbao was involved in many things. Chai Shao was able to place the young man next to Li Xiuning in Chang'an, which showed that he had great trust in him. Li Xiuning also relied heavily on him during his days away from home.
After Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he was able to sneak in an audience with the emperor, and was able to maneuver between the prince and the King of Qin.
When Xue Rengao was defeated, he served under the King of Qin. Later, he followed Chai Shao to Shu and served under Li Xiaogong. He soon gained Li Xiaogong's appreciation and became his confidant...
There is merit, but compared to this person's ability to make both ends meet, what is it?
Ma Sanbao was able to serve as deputy envoy to Jin. As before, he was chosen with great care and refinement.
In the past few years, Li Xiaogong's "inaction" in Shu has aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. He needs capable people to work for him in the capital. Ma Sanbao, who was sent back to Chang'an by Li Xiaogong, is one of them.
(I have stopped updating for a long time. Ah Cao is very ashamed. I don’t find any excuses and sincerely apologize to everyone. Once I put down the pen, I can’t pick it up. It’s laziness that causes it. Well, it’s actually the same as Jiang Xue. When I first started writing,
I conceived a very long article, and only then I wrote about a third of it. Patience, everyone needs patience, including A Cao, haha.)
