Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six Hundred and Eighty-four Snow Bazhou II

The wind and snow danced unscrupulously in the small town of Bazhou, rushing out of the warm houses and walking into the streets.

Xue Rengui and Zhang Jianzhi walked in the forefront with Wang Bo between them. A black fur was draped over Wang Bo's thin body, and the shoes on his feet were replaced with warm and dry Gaobang leather boots.

Heifang Changzhi took the governor of Bazhou, surrounded by the guards and two carriages, followed the three of them, and walked hurriedly towards Li Xian's house.

The snow under your feet made a crunching sound, as if it was stepping on the hearts of the Governor of Bazhou and Wang Bo, but at this moment, the mood of the two was very different.

One is to see hope in despair, and the other is to see despair in ease.

Zhang Kanzhi looked at the "Mansion" covered by wind and snow, saying it was a mansion, but it was two rows more than the houses of ordinary settlers. The adobe walls were all white and there were a few lonely trees standing in the courtyard. , Is also crowded with branches by Shirayuki.

At the entrance of the dilapidated mansion, the original color of the door has long been invisible, and the two large big door knockers are already covered with snow. Wang Bo stretched out his hand that had just warmed up and opened it with a skillful twist and push At the gate, he reached out and asked Xue Rengui and others to enter.

The sound of pulling and pulling came from the courtyard in an instant, and Xue Rengui and Zhang Jianzhi looked at Wang Bo who was hurriedly following curiously.

"Wang Pei's servant, in order not to be frozen in the cold, so he simply used the sweep of the yard to warm up." Facing Zhang Kanzhi, Wang Bo's entanglement along the way has gradually been relieved, and his emotions On accepting the current disparity between each other.

"Will King Pei be here?" Zhang Jianzhi's brows are furrowed, and his body is warmed by sweeping snow? It has to be so cold to come up with a way!

"In the backyard." Wang Bo said while leading Xue Rengui and Zhang Jianzhi forward.

When passing by the servants of a dozen or twenty people, the sound of snow sweeping stopped in an instant. In the past few years, no one has ever been to King Pei’s residence. Even the governor of Bazhou is just at the door. Call out Wang Pei and confess at the door. No official has ever entered the courtyard.

But today, through the wind and snow in front of me, I saw that the governor of Naba was also listed, and even a few people they were familiar with in Chang'an were also listed.

Looking at the three people with solemn expressions of Xue Rengui, Zhang Jianzhi, and Heifangchangzhi, more than 20 servants held brooms tied with branches, motionless as if they were locked in the wind and snow.

"Could it be that King Pei's deadline has arrived? His Royal Highness is going to get rid of the troubles?"

The dozens of armored soldiers behind them made the hearts of these servants suddenly feel like an ice cave, numbly watching them hurry to the backyard where King Pei lived.

"Right here." Everyone crossed the front yard and came to the small back yard, and the soldiers behind them, still standing in the front yard with their tails, were enough to imagine how small this so-called mansion really was.

Wang Bo looked at the closed door, and stood twenty steps away with Xue Rengui and the others, quietly watching the closed door of the blizzard vaguely, through the wind and snow, even vaguely able to see, that paper From time to time, an eye was secretly looking at them in the gap of the window.

Heifang Changzhi grabbed the Bazhou governor’s collar and stood in a row with Zhang Jianzhi, Xue Rengui, and Wang Bo, and continued to silently look at the wooden door.

All the soldiers who can come in behind them are also holding their breath, there is no noise, the entire courtyard, only silent snowflakes, quietly falling on everyone.

Time seems to freeze. Zhang Jianzhi has been clenching his teeth, staring at the wooden door with his eyes, watching the snowflakes falling in front of him, and suddenly he said: "The minister, the final general Xue Rengui , Heifang often asks to see King Pei!"

With a bang, there was a muffled noise in the originally silent room, but after the muffled noise, I was still plunged into endless silence.

Zhang Jianzhi looked at the unresponsive wooden door, and looked at Wang Bo. Wang Bogang wanted to step forward and knock on the door, but was stopped by Zhang Jianzhi.

Xue Rengui and Heifang Changzhi looked at each other, then the two saluted the wooden door and said loudly: "The final general Xue Rengui and Heifang Changzhi are asking to see His Royal Highness Pei."

As before, the voice seemed to sink into the ocean, without receiving half a response.

"The minister Zhang Jianzhi..."

"The one who should come is always coming. I've already waited for this day, but I didn't expect that the fifth child would choose such a good day for me." There was finally a voice in the room.

Next, under the gaze of Zhang Kanzhi, the wooden doors were opened one by one, and then Pei Wang Lixian appeared in the sight of everyone.

The wind and snow at the door took the opportunity and broke into the room behind Li Xian in a hurricane. I saw Li Xian standing still at the door, letting the wind and snow hit his face, only the empty, thin left. The sleeves were dangling in the wind and snow.

"General Xue, how about moving the things in the carriage right away?" Zhang Jianzhi and the others still stood in the wind and snow after saluting Li Xian.

Xue Rengui nodded silently, and there was rapid footsteps behind him. In a short while, boxes of objects were carried to the door, and Li Xian blocked the door.

The soldiers did not dare to go in at will, not to mention that King Pei was blocking the door, so three or five people a box, two people a box, or seven or eight people a box carrying the box, standing silently in the wind and snow Inside, waiting for orders.

"His Royal Highness King Pei, these are all winter items given to you by His Royal Highness, and I invite you to your hand." Zhang Jianzhi took two steps forward and said in a salute.

At this time, neither Xue Rengui nor Heifang Changzhi can show that they are too friendly with Li Xian, and Zhang Jianzhi, who is an official secretary, is a civil official and not a military general, so he can naturally be in full view. , Let him talk to Li Xian.

Li Xian's eyes were numb by the wind and snow, he swept across the wooden box blankly, and then murmured: "Will the old fifth still think of me? Didn't he come to kill me?"

"No." Zhang Jianzhi looked at Li Xian's blank eyes, and tried not to let his eyes rest on the empty sleeves that were dancing in the wind and snow.

Li Xian sighed in the face of the wind and snow, and then said sideways: "Come in, the humble house is too small, I'm afraid it will not be able to entertain all the distinguished guests..."

"Go down, bring all the other things here." Xue Rengui looked at Zhang Jianzhi and looked at him, then turned his head and ordered to the guard.

There was a sound of footsteps passing by, and the small yard that was originally packed with people suddenly became empty. Only the messy footprints at the feet proved that the mansion of King Pei Wang and Li Xian had just been visited by many people.

The room was not warm. Xue Rengui and Heifang Changzhi were asked by Li Xian to sit there, but the two of them refused to sit up, so they were empty. Wang Bo stood by Li Xian’s as usual. Behind.

The governor of Bavaria just wanted to sit down, but he was so frightened that he got up with a cold grunt from Black Teeth, and stepped back behind the two of them, standing still uneasy.

Zhang Jianzhi looked at Li Xian apologetically and said: "King Pei, the minister is offended, but I hope King Pei will not be offended."

After speaking, Zhang Jianzhi walked to the corner and opened the stove closest to the inner room. Only a small piece of carbon was burning inside, and he couldn't even illuminate the entire furnace wall.

And around that little piece of carbon, there are some dirt pieces squeezed together, not even blackened by yellowing.

"Come in with some carbon." Zhang Jianzhi yelled at the door, and then he heard the two guards at the door, walking away quickly.

"His Royal Highness...." Zhang Jianzhi sat down under Li Xian and unconsciously tightened his clothes.

"Mu Qing, come out to meet the distinguished guests from Chang'an." Li Xian is much older, and even his temples have gray hair, wrinkles and rough skin, making him look like a weather-beaten old man. Has lost the style of the past.

There was a faint sparse voice and the buzzing of children, but before Zhang Jianzhi and the others waited, a woman in coarse cloth pudding walked out with her head down.

"Mr. Li has seen all the adults." Fang Muqing saluted, and then stood behind Li Xian.

Compared with Li Xian, Fang Muqing hasn’t changed much, except for a rough shirt and skirt ~ IndoMTL.com~ The graceful and intellectual appearance is the same as before, but now it looks like a simple shirt and skirt. The relationship is more like a woman in an ordinary family.

Being knowledgeable and generous has always been a sign of Fang Muqing's body. Over the years, she has been exiled here with Li Xian, and she has not wiped out her temperament in a difficult environment.

"Feel free to take some clothes for the children to keep out the cold, don't let them freeze anymore." After Fang Muqing came out, Li Xian kept his eyes on the soft and warm clothes.

Hearing Li Xian’s words, Fang Muqing was startled again when she moved, and then thanked Zhang Jianzhi and others again, and then slowly walked to the place where the box was placed, and after choosing a few pieces of clothing, Go inside.

"Don't patronize the children, and bring you two in." Li Xian, with only one arm left, said softly in front of everyone, blocking the circuit of Mu Qing.

"Wang Pei, you mean you are now..."

"Yeah, I was just born and still in infancy, otherwise... I would not send Wang Bo to ask the adults to give some more carbon to warm up." Li Xian lowered his head and looked at the warm fur on his body. Said.

"But he said, divided among the people of Bazhou according to their heads, Your Highness, you can't deceive the ministers..."

"All the carbon is there. There are a total of thirty-two heads in the mansion, which is thirty-two carbons. After three days of heavy snow, a total of fourteen carbons were used, and the rest are there." Li Xian's heart has an unspeakable bitterness. When it started, he actually started to care about two pieces of carbon with people.

Zhang Jianzhi stood up slowly. He believed that today's King Pei would never lie. In this way, it was the governor of Ba State who was privately oppressed because of the exile of King Pei by the court!
