Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 73 We Are All Honest People

After Li Danghu heard what his son Li Ling said, he felt that it made sense. If Li Hou really wanted to deal with himself and others, would it be like this?
"Please tell me in detail what happened just now from beginning to end!" Li Danghu turned to look at the servants beside him.

The servant did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately and seriously explained what had just happened.

After Li Danghu heard this, he couldn't help but look at his son and sighed: "It looks like your third uncle still doesn't intend to forgive us!"

"This is a matter between the eldest father and the third uncle, but it may not necessarily involve the relationship between the eldest father and the third uncle." Li Ling rolled his eyes: "I heard that the third uncle has reached the age of marriage. If My father can arrange the marriage for my third uncle, maybe the current situation will change?"

Li Danghu patted his son Li Ling's head and sighed: "Boy, some things can't be solved with one thing or two things. Some misunderstandings can't be cleared up in a short time."

Li Ling raised his head and looked at his father with some confusion; but Li Danghu didn't want to say anything anymore and turned around and left.

As soon as Li Huan dismounted, Bai Zhi eagerly came over and whispered something in a low voice.

"What?" After hearing this, Li Huan looked at Bai Zhi in disbelief.

Bai Zhi's face turned red: "How dare I talk nonsense about such a thing?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of postponing some of the schedule so that people can prepare food. I'm almost starving to death!"

Bai Zhi Yanran smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord, everything is ready. The banquet will be ready as soon as you come back."

Li Huan looked back at Zhang Qian and Gan Fu, and invited them to board the high platform together.

Where is Zhang Tang's Tingwei Mansion?
When a mosquito flies in, its wings must be counted, not to mention the people who were caught. I have never seen anyone come out alive.

Gan Fu came out alive and well, and even the clothes on his body were not contaminated by the stench inside the prison.

Zhang Qian, an honest man, had already smelled the conspiracy, and Gan Fu, an honest man who had been set up, also had an expression that was hard to explain.

While facing the setting sun and blowing the wind, Li Huan felt that three words were written on his head - honest person.

"Junhou?" Zhang Qian's face was full of apology.

Li Huan smiled nonchalantly, then he picked up a long bow and threw it to Gan Fu, who was blushing fiercely behind Zhang Qian.

As soon as Ganfu raised his hand, he caught the longbow for some unknown reason.

Li Huan grabbed an arrow and pointed at the little sparrow resting on the wooden fence in the distance: "Can Gan Fu hit it?"

Gan Fu squinted and looked at it. At this moment, it was backlit. The setting sun was not only dazzling, but also the little sparrow looked like a small dot of sesame. He was a little surprised that Li Huan's eyes were so good that he could see such a small dot.

"Okay." The moment Gan Fu's voice came out, the arrows roared out with a sound of breaking through the air.

Li Huan only felt the vibrating sound of the bow string, which made him have a slight tinnitus. Then he saw a black lightning flashing far away in the sunset, the wooden fence made a bursting sound, and an arrow pierced everything violently.

The sharp arrow penetrated the hard wooden pole and poked out, illuminated by the setting sun, reflecting a dazzling cold light.

Li Gan yelled, grabbed the railing and slid down the platform, rushed to the wooden fence, and looked at the little sparrow that was nailed to the wooden pole.

"Why don't you teach my disciple archery? Look at how scared he is." Li Huan touched the stubble on his chin and looked at Gan Fu with a half-smile.

Ganfu clasped his fists and said, "I don't get what I asked for!"

There was still some apology in Zhang Qian's eyes. Li Huan motioned for him to sit down and then talked about Zhuo Wenjun.

"I heard that her husband has been bedridden since the day they got married. Just now Bai Zhi told me that someone from Zhuo Wenjun's husband's family came to attend the funeral and told her that her husband died in the early morning." Zhang Qian thought for a while and shook his head. He said: "That family is already in poverty, otherwise why would they marry a merchant's daughter?"

Li Huan laughed: "In autumn, the army will march north."

"This is inevitable." Zhang Qian nodded.

Li Huan muttered: "I know how to meet people. If you follow the army to the north this time, you will definitely be made a marquis when you return."

Zhang Qian looked at Li Huan in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he said.

Li Huan clenched his chin and looked at two beautiful figures not far away: "I want to use these two people to exchange for your wife and daughter in the Huns. I don't know if you..."

"If I do this, I may become a shame to the entire court." Zhang Qian smiled bitterly.

"You don't want to?" Li Huan looked into Zhang Qian's eyes.

Zhang Qian sighed: "Your Majesty, you should know that the Huns are different from us Han people. After Zhao Xin betrays your majesty, we will kill his wife and daughter; but if such a thing is done to the Huns, the Huns will not By doing this, my wife and children are actually safer in the Xiongnu. If we can really drink from Ma Beihai one day, then my wife and children will be honored when they return to Chang'an."

Li Huan touched the tip of his nose and felt that these things seemed to be not as simple as he thought. Etiquette was more important than human ethics.

"Bai Zhi, tell Zhao Xin's wife and daughter that starting from tomorrow, they will no longer go to the fields to farm and let them serve you and Cuihua." Li Huan was unhappy, but he didn't want to vent his anger on others.

When Bai Zhi heard this, she was surprised at first, and then stepped back with joy.

Zhang Qian hesitated, as if he had something to say.

Gan Fu and Li Gan were shooting arrows under the sunset, but Gan Fu just taught Li Gan to draw the bow like a full moon, and then maintained this posture.

Li Huan vaguely heard the wind carrying their voices to his ears.

Ganfu said: "Don't draw a strong bow lightly. Once you draw the bow, you will kill people..."

Li Gan argued: "There are as many people as ants on the battlefield. As long as you can shoot fierce arrows, you can break armor and kill people."

"Junhou, I..." Zhang Qian spoke apologetically, but was interrupted by Li Huan: "Brother Zhang, I don't have many friends in this world, and you are my best friend."

The apology in Zhang Qian's eyes was instantly scattered on the river beach like the gentle waves of the setting sun falling on the edge of the stream.

"If Zhuo's daughter doesn't go back to attend the funeral, she has more important things to do now. What's more, she has no affection for that person." Li Huan saw that the world was about to fall into darkness, and sighed helplessly: "There is nothing in Chang'an." Why don't you accompany me to Sichuan?"

Zhang Qian wanted to say that there were many things in Chang'an, but after hearing what Li Huan said, he nodded calmly.

The next day, Zhang Qian went to court and requested to follow Li Huanyi and join Shu, and received permission from Emperor Liu Che.

Huo Qubing's memorial was rejected by the emperor...

This made Li Gan extremely excited, and he swaggeringly selected two hundred guards from Huo Qubing's military camp to accompany Li Huan.

Before leaving, Li Huan paid a special visit to Gillian.

Liu Che allowed himself to be an honest person for a while, so he had to rely on his strength to make Liu Che an honest person for a while, right?
