Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 492 Lubu
"How could it be!" Acton's face turned red immediately: "Wang Pu, you are my friend, even if I, Acton, die, I will not lie to my friends!"

"Stop, stop!" Wang Pu hurriedly called to Acton: "Don't die, it's unlucky! We are all going to fight, what if it comes true?"

"I actually think it's okay!" Acton scratched the back of his head: "This time I went out to fight the Goguryeo people, I thought I would let horses fight more than a dozen times, even if I didn't lose my life, I would still be injured. Fight, the city of Pyongyang will be opened. After all, this time I only shot a few arrows when I saved you that night. It’s better to go to the woods with Ama to hunt bears. It’s dangerous and hard. Thinking about it, I really feel a little sorry!"

"Forget it!" Wang Pu sighed: "I understand why Captain Shen recruited you specially, you are really born to be soldiers."

"Really? But I really think it's not in vain. Compared with when I was in the village, it's like heaven and earth!" Acton laughed.

"Don't be too happy too early! This time we won the battle, if we lose, it will be miserable!" Wang Pu sneered: "Do you know? When the governor was a soldier, he was surrounded by In Sibi City, there was no food for more than half a year, and rats and grass roots would eat everything!"

"Really? In fact, the winter in the village was similar, but instead of eating these, we ate dried moss and acorns!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Wang Pu was terribly annoyed by Acton's words: "Can you not mention the village? You have already come out. You are the archer of Yaqiandu, not that ghost." People from the village! If you like the village so much, then take off this layer of skin and go back to hunting and catching fish!"

Acton didn't know why Wang Pu was so angry, so he had to shut up, and the two entered the town and came to the wine shop.Seeing their clothes, the owner of the shop rushed up to greet them, led their horses to the back, and fed them. Wang Pu took a small flag and stuck it outside, and sat down at a table with Acton: "Akton Dun, I didn't let you talk later, so don't talk, today is really going to make you mad!"

Gao Sheji got off his horse outside the town and said to the boy, "You don't have to go into the town this time. I'll leave the horse outside too. You wait for me outside!"

The boy nodded concentratingly. He could feel that the difference this time was unusual. Gao Sheji looked at the boy's face and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he reached out and rubbed the boy. hair, and walked to the town.

Gao Sheji walked into the market town, he looked around carefully, but the people around were busy with their own affairs, which made him a little envious.Since I was sensible, I have wholeheartedly worked hard to become an excellent samurai, and I am proud of it, but looking at it now, maybe these weed-like people are a little closer to happiness than myself.

The restaurant was as lively as yesterday, and Gao Sheji was standing at the door, looking for the Japanese man who recruited heroes that the guy said yesterday, but he found nothing, and finally he began to suspect that this might be just a lie—after all, it all came from a dying man. mouth of bandits.

"It's so ridiculous. Someone would take the risk of offending Tang people to save me at this time, and I would even believe such a ridiculous lie!" Gao Sheji shook his head with a wry smile. He decided to have a drink before leaving town.

"Have mead? Give me a glass!" he asked, walking up to the counter.

"Mead? How can there be such a place?" The owner is a middle-aged woman with a birthmark on her right cheek. She laughed: "There are only grain wine and mulberry wine. The mulberry wine here is not bad, is it?"

"Alright!" Gao Sheji nodded, took out a few pieces of meat from the purse in his arms, and threw them on the counter, the woman laughed: "That's right, such fine copper coins are rare! She took a wooden cup and filled it with mulberry wine: "Drink it? I saw you were standing at the door for a long time. Are you looking for someone?"

Alcohol has paralyzed Gao Sheji's vigilance, and it may be that he needs someone to confide in now: "Yes, someone told me that there is a Japanese here who is recruiting heroes, and he can provide anyone with a place to stay. It's just too ridiculous , I actually believed such a stupid lie, but I still gave that liar a sword and gave him a heartbreak, hahaha!" Finally, Gao Sheji laughed out of composure.

"That person didn't lie to you!"

"What?" Gao Sheji looked at the female boss in bewilderment, the serious face with the birthmark was a bit funny.

"That person didn't lie to you. There is indeed a Japanese man who is recruiting heroes here. His subordinates are at the table by the window. You shouldn't kill the person who told you this!"

"If you really want to go back to visit, I suggest that you exchange all your salary and rewards for silk, preferably Shu brocade!" Wang Puzheng taught Acton his business experience with spit: "Trust me, this stuff It will definitely be very popular in your place, do you have a girl you like? Then give her a Sichuan brocade, believe me, no woman can resist the temptation of beautiful clothes, no—"

"Wang Pu, there is someone behind you!" Acton pointed to Wang Pu's back.

"What's wrong? There are people everywhere!"

"This person should be looking for us. He has been standing behind you for a while!" Acton said.

Wang Pu turned around and looked up and down the Gao Sheji vigilantly: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that someone here is recruiting heroes from Goguryeo. As long as they are willing to work for him, they can get a piece of land for him and his family to live in?"

"There is such a thing!" Wang Pu nodded, and he looked at the man in front of him with some disdain. His face was covered with dust, he was wearing a short cotton robe with a short knife hanging around his waist, and he looked like the man in the market town. There is no difference between most of the men, he said in an arrogant tone: "But let me put the ugliness first, our lord recruits heroes, not cats and dogs. There is plenty of land, but only for those who deserve it. You Do you understand?"

"May I ask who the Lord you are talking about?" Gao Sheji asked.

"I will tell you when you should know, but not now!" Wang Pu said coldly, "Now it's my turn to ask you, what is your name and what did you do in the past?"

Gao Sheji looked at the two teenagers in front of him. Although their faces were still a little immature, they could not be fooled by the strong bodies brought about by sufficient nutrition and a lot of exercise. Also, the sophisticated weapons on their waists clearly showed that their backgrounds were not It's not easy, besides, what other choices do I have now?If he gave up his chance, he would have to choose between migrating to the Tang country or fleeing into the mountains and becoming a bandit.

"The Gaoshe chicken is the backbone of Goguryeo, the guard, the assistant, and the cavalry general. When I was fighting with the Silla army, it was I who led the troops to break the left wing of Silla first, and led the troops in pursuit, defeating the people of Silla. of!"

Snapped!
There was only a sound, but it was Wang Pu who fell off the bench and took the jug and dishes on the table all over the place.

Chang'an, Baqiao.

The sedan chair slowly climbed up the embankment, accompanied by the heavy rhythm of the horse's hooves, and Princess Pu'an rested on a comfortable brocade cushion, when the leader of the guards shouted from outside: "Make way. Clear the streets and make way for Her Royal Highness Princess!"

"It's going to be summer soon, and Chang'an will be so hot that we can't live in it at all. We need to send some capable people to clean up the villas in Lishan!" The alms will also be delivered, let the Samana recite a few scriptures for the dead master!"

"You can figure it out!" Princess Pu'an yawned. Although she was the first emperor's daughter, her mother was just an ordinary maid in charge of cleaning the palace.One day, Emperor Xian passed by, saw her, hugged her in his arms, and had sex with her.As for when, where, and even the maid's name, there are no detailed records in the history books. Obviously, that great figure did not have any friendship with him. Just because of accidental reasons, this maid happened to be that person.Moreover, the first emperor inadvertently became lustful and had a physical relationship with him, just like picking a melon from a melon field by the road under the scorching sun.That's probably the case.After the incident, the first emperor forgot about Princess Pu'an's mother, as if he forgot the color and shape of the melon he had eaten, casually and carelessly.Everything is just a coincidence.

It's just that this casual action didn't end there. The maid was pregnant, so after a series of confirmations, Princess Pu'an was born and granted the status of the clan, and her lucky mother also got The corresponding treatment, but that's all.

Maybe it was because of this reason that Princess Pu'an grew up so unobtrusively and got married, but maybe fate gave her some kind of compensation—when her sisters were involved in court infighting again and again, Or be convicted, or die early, but she has been living in seclusion, and lived a small life with her Turkic husband in obscurity. Even today, the emperor wants to call her a sister, and Empress Wu is indifferent to everything, and she likes her temperament very much. Every time she gets a treasure from the palace, she will give a copy to Princess Pu'an.For a while, this clan woman who used to be very low-key was lifted to the status of clan elder by the social circle in Chang'an City.

"Empty the streets!" The leader of the guards yelled, "Make way for Princess Pu'an!"

The sedan chair stopped, but the eldest princess didn't care. She said to the housekeeper, "If you go back to Mrs. Wang, she wants to send her son to the East Palace to be the crown prince's companion. I mentioned this once in front of the queen. Empress Wu has already nodded in agreement!"

"That's great!" The housekeeper was overjoyed when she heard the words, "Then I'll tell her immediately after I go back, Mrs. Wang must be very happy! Seriously, you are the only one in the clan who can speak in front of the queen!"

"You still don't understand!" The eldest princess sighed: "It's not that I can speak in front of the queen, but that the queen is willing to listen to me!"

"Isn't that the same meaning?" The housekeeper asked puzzled.

"Of course it's different!" The Eldest Princess was about to explain, when she suddenly heard high-pitched shouts and hurried hoofbeats from outside, and then the sedan chair began to move aside, she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? What happened outside?"

"Reporting to the eldest princess, it's Lubu's victory!" The head of the guard replied.

"Reward for Lubu?" The eldest princess excitedly raised the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out, only to see that both sides of the Baqiao Bridge were already crowded with people, and only a road two or three feet wide was exposed, and someone shouted loudly in the distance: "Master Wang has broken Goguryeo, broken 39 cities, captured 17, Pingzhou 42, counties 69, household registration [-], and a mountain of Jiazhan weapons! All the Chinese children who lived in Haidong in the past have returned to their hometowns!"

As the shouting approached, Princess Pu'an saw more and more clearly. She saw more than a dozen brocade knights coming on horseback. The leader was holding a bamboo pole high. There were lines of words written on it, and the knight in brocade clothes was not walking fast, and kept showing the silk cloth to the four directions, so that the audience on both sides could see clearly.The crowd on the side of the road burst into cheers. At this time, someone sang loudly: "Shoulu resigned from the head of state, and the prime minister will punish the traitors. The salty song "Broken Array Music" will be enjoyed by the people of Taiping. ; The military uniform is not worn, and today is the day of success. The lord opened the Changli calendar, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou; after you see Yange, it will be a peaceful autumn."

"The first emperor, the first emperor!" At this time, Princess Pu'an's eyes were full of tears. It turned out that what the audience sang was the famous "Qin Wang Breaking the Battle", which was originally a military song in the early Tang Dynasty. Later, Li Shimin defeated Liu Wuzhou. Afterwards, when they returned in triumph, the sergeants wrote new lyrics for the old music, and used the above words to praise the martial arts of Qin Wang Li Shimin.Although Li Shimin was not as loving to Princess Pu'an as he was to Li Zhi and Princess Gao'an, Princess Pu'an had always admired her father very much. Now her father has long been a pile of dead bones in Zhaoling, but she still Hearing the common people sing praises to his martial arts, how could she be so moved without thinking about others?

Along with the singing, some of the onlookers opened their arms and danced, and more and more people joined in the dance, even blocking the road, and the knights who reported the victory were not angry, they raised their lubu and sang loudly, Share the ecstasy of victory with everyone.

Tai Chi Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Overjoyed, overjoyed!" A servant rushed into the hall as quickly as his etiquette allowed, and shouted to Li Zhi who was sitting behind the case.

"What great joy? Is it the good news from the front line in Liaodong?" Li Zhi put down the brush in his hand, and his spirit was lifted.

"Exactly, Pyongyang has opened the city!" The servant knelt down and raised a document above his head.

"Really?" Li Zhi took the document from the maid at the side, and asked while looking at it, "Where is the messenger? Why didn't he let him enter the palace?"
