Chapter 037: Not Afraid of Trouble
Seeing Li Mi's mysterious secret, Li Zaixing didn't say much and followed him out. They didn't go to see any murals, and Li Zaixing led Li Mi to the bell tower directly.
“It’s secluded and easy to speak.”
Li Mi was very satisfied. He looked down at Li Linfu's house, thanked him for a moment, and suddenly said, "Brother, don't you want to join the army? I've found a way for you."
"What way?"
"The Longwu Army is recruiting new men." Li Mi smiled and said, "With my brother's martial arts, it's no problem to pass the exam."
Li Zaixing heard Li Mi introduce the Longwu Army. The Longwu Army is not subordinate to the Sixteen Guards, but to the Yulin Army. It was formerly the Hundred Cavalry Guards established by Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. Later it became a Thousand Cavalry and then became Ten Thousand Cavalry. It was officially named the Longwu Army in the 26th year of Kaiyuan. It is the main part of the Imperial Guard and is also the strongest of the Imperial Guards.
Of course, the so-called strength is also compared with the sixteen guards that have already died in name only. Most of the imperial guards come from bureaucrats, and some recruited from the market teenagers. The ability to fight is nothing to say. If you really go to the battlefield, it would probably be a mess. Nowadays, elite soldiers are gathered on the border, and the imperial guards are the emperor's guard of honor, and there is no chance of fighting at all, so the imperial guards will not be able to go to the battlefield.
There is no danger of going into battle, but he is very close to the emperor, and he can make friends with many noble children and has generous salaries. No matter from any aspect, entering the Dragon Martial Army is a very good choice. If Li Mi had not proposed it on his own initiative, people with unknown identities like Li Zaixing would have no chance at all, and would not even know that there would be such an opportunity.
Li Zaixing suddenly remembered Xie Dalang, who was desperate and could only wander around the world: "Can you give more places?"
Li Mi was puzzled. Li Zaixing talked about Xie Dalang's situation, and Li Mi said with regret: "It should be no problem, but this person's origin is unknown, so there will be no problem, right?"
"Even if there is a problem, he is still a person who follows the rules." Li Zaixing said with a smile: "As a ranger, he still adheres to the creed that thieves have a righteous deed. I believe he has a bottom line than many people."
Seeing that Li Zaixing insisted, Li Mi did not say anything else and agreed to make arrangements, asking Li Zaixing to notify Xie Dalang and prepare for the exam. He immediately asked Li Zaixing about whereabouts of the past two days. When he heard that Li Zaixing and Wang Zhun had to throw a pot in the game, forcing Wang Zhun to learn to bark, his face was a little complicated.
"Do you know who Wang Zhun is?"
"I don't know who he is, but I can tell he is arrogant."
"Since you know that he is arrogant, do you want to mess with him?" Li Mi's smile even more bitter: "Wang Zhun's father is Wang Hui. He is from the Wang family in Taiyuan. He is cruel and ruthless. He does everything for power. In order to be promoted, he was instructed by Li Linfu, causing his cousin and friend Yang Shenjin's family to be destroyed. In order to satisfy the emperor, he levyed heavily and did everything."
"If I guess correctly, that eleven Lang should be Wang Xun. Wang Xun's father Wang Yao and his fellow descendants were Princess Anding, the daughter of Zhongzong, and his mother was Princess Anding, who was born noble, but Wang Hui's mother was born humiliated, so the two of them were not very close. After Wang Hui became powerful, he humiliated Wang Yao a lot. Wang Yao is still the eldest daughter of Princess Yongmu. Both husband and wife are loyal and honest people. They were bullied by Wang Hui and his son for a long time. Wang Yao passed away the previous year, and Princess Yongmu asked to become a monk and left her home as a temple."
Li Mi turned to the southwest corner of the bell tower, pointed to a house in the southwest of Pingkangfang and said, "It is Princess Yongmu's residence, now called Wan'anguan. She gave up her family and wanted to be quiet. Even so, Wang Hui and his son refused to let her go, and they often caused trouble. Why would you mess with such a person?"
"So arrogant?" Li Zaixing was surprised. He bullied his fellow clans. This guy was heartless enough. He bullied the princess. This guy was arrogant enough, which exceeded his perception. Didn't it mean that the princesses are rampant and domineering? Why is this Princess Yongmu so soft? Thinking about Wang Xun's gentle appearance at the banquet yesterday, Li Zaixing was speechless.
"Now I know, is it a bit late?"
"It's not too late, on the contrary, you said it very promptly." Li Zaixing smiled: "I specialize in treating such people."
Li Mi immediately regretted it. He forgot that the person in front of him was never afraid of trouble, but was afraid that the trouble would not be big enough.
...
After seeing Li Mi off, Li Zaixing stood in the bell tower for a while. He felt that things were a little complicated. Li Mi was so enthusiastic about letting him join the Longwu Army, it seemed that it was not as simple as helping him find a way out. He kept saying that he wanted to join the army, but never asked Li Mi to help, because he came to Chang'an to find the truth about his life experience, and joining the army was just an excuse. Even if Li Mi took it seriously, he should not have such a choice - the imperial guards could not go to war at all, and there was almost no chance of promotion based on military achievements. He was fighting for his family background. Why did Li Mi ask him to join the imperial guards?
Li Zaixing couldn't figure out what Li Mi was thinking, so he simply stopped thinking. He got off the bell tower, and the cuckold girl had already gotten up and was having breakfast with Du Zongwen. Breakfast was very simple, and there was no meat. The most nutritious thing was probably boiling eggs. However, Cuckold girl was very happy to eat, and she played with Du Zongwen while eating. Her face was flushed and her pair of blue eyes shining.
Mrs. Yang looked quietly from the side, smiling, but with a faint sense of worry.
"I'm going out, you can stay at home and don't run around."
Before Li Zaixing finished speaking, the insect girl put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran over, hugging Li Zaixing's legs and shook desperately: "No, I want to go out to play with you. I'm so bored at home that I want to go out to play."
Li Zaixing was speechless. This kid was probably very bored and refused to stay at home when he had the chance to go out. He had no choice but to ask Yang to help her loose her hair, tie a boy's hairstyle, and change into Du Zongwen's clothes - her green and colorful dress was so silly - dressed up as a little boy with pink makeup. Her eyes could not be covered, so she had to do something about her makeup. According to Almaddy's opinion, she drew eye shadow on her face, making her face three-dimensional, like Hu Tong, so she took her out.
It was probably the first time that the insect girl went out. She was very excited. She didn't have enough eyes. She looked left and right, front and back. Especially when Li Zaixing took her to the most lively place in Pingkangli, she saw the famous prostitutes who had just finished dressing up, pushed open the window, and secretly sent a secret message to the young man walking along the street, she almost jumped up on the horse's back.
"How many beautiful sisters." The cuckold clapped his hands and shouted in joy.
"Don't speak." Li Zaixing urged Lu Hu, "Go and find out where Zhang Wan is, don't disturb others."
Lu Hu knew it very well. Yesterday Li Zaixing chased Xie Dalang and did not see the final dispute between Yang and Zheng, but Lu Hu could see clearly. Yang Miaoer and Zheng Juju fainted one after another. Li Zaixing left with a bitter murderous aura, which had become a legend, spread among the bored prostitutes.
Although Li Zaixing wanted to enter the village quietly and shoot, his Pitler was so famous that he was recognized after walking a few steps and started talking about it.
"Isn't this Li Lang who wrote yesterday that 'I don't know the true face of Mount Lu'?"
"Yes, yes, it's this Teller Phu, who recognizes this horse."
"Oh, it turns out that it's him. He is indeed handsome. No wonder Yang Miaoer and Zheng Juju both fainted. If he could write a poem for the slave, I would probably fainted even if he had missed."
"In my opinion, 'not knowing the true face of Mount Lu' is good, but the saying 'heavy makeup is always suitable' is even better. Zheng Juju's mother's blessing comes from where she got it, and she is so envious."
"No, I have to invite this young man in and take the lead..."
"You are the first to be a ghost. Didn't you see a little Hu boy sitting right away?" A famous prostitute said sourly: "I didn't expect that Li Lang is a romantic person, doesn't like women, but likes men's style. No wonder Yang Miaoer and Zheng Juju were both empty yesterday."
“…”
Hearing these women talking more and more violently and excessively, Li Zaixing couldn't help but urged Lu Hu to leave quickly. Lu Hu knew that the situation was not good, and if it continued to evolve, it was very likely that something might happen. He found out that Zhang Wan's residence, led the horse and ran away.
Only the cuckold girl was still unfulfilled and pouted and muttered a few words.
Zhang Wanjia lives on the east side of Sanqu, behind Yanghua Temple, and the lowest wet spot in Pingkangfang. Walking in the winding alleys, there are no longer the spacious and neat houses on the main street, the narrow streets, toilets on both sides, unkempt women, tattered clothes, and even children running around barefoot. They are getting out of a slum. Who would have thought that Li Linfu's mansion is only a hundred steps away from them.
Zhang Wan's house is in the corner of the wall, in a dilapidated thatched house. The main entrance is so short that Li Zaixing cannot get off the horse with the cuckold girl in his arms to avoid hitting his head.
Seeing Li Zaixing, Zhang Wan was a little nervous, but refused to lose face and forced himself to say, "What are you here to do?"
Li Zaixing was surprised: "Xie Dalang didn't inform you, Pingkangfang is mine."
Zhang Wan was shocked and angry: "You...beat Xie Dalang?"
"Is there anything strange?" Li Zaixing shrugged lightly and looked at Zhang Wan's dilapidated home. "Are you following me or continue to follow Xie Dalang? Follow me, it will be very simple. You still do the same thing as before, but it will be changed to following my command. If you still want to follow Xie Dalang, that doesn't matter. But in the future, you have to walk lighter in Pingkangfang and not cause trouble, otherwise you will be beaten once."
Zhang Wan frowned and asked again: "You really beat Xie Dalang?"
"Don't believe it?" Li Zaixing was a little unhappy: "Can you still leave? Let's go to Qujiangchi to find Xie Dalang to explain it clearly."
"Okay." Zhang Wan's eyes looked suspicious. He immediately cleaned up and followed Li Zaixing out. When passing the east gate of Pingkangfang, Li Zaixing suddenly felt aroused in his heart, pointed to the northeast corner of Li Linfu's house and said, "Does Xie Dalang often come here?"
