Chapter 22 The Newborn Calf
Chang'an is mixed with dragons and snakes, with both high-ranking emperors and nobles living at the bottom.
Faced with such a city, the news spread very quickly. Especially Li Longji, as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his every move attracted much attention.
Huang Fanchuo has always been high-profile. He would not say that his camp would be a love card and ask Li Longji for it. Instead, he expressed how he was favored and respected by the saint, and he appointed him especially. At the same time, he also invisibly criticized Pei Min, and it was so dark. He boasted that his status in the Liyuan Garden was as good as Pei Min, and he pulled Pei Min to improve himself.
With Li Longji as his leader and Pei Min as his companion, Huang Banchuo's invisible status has risen a lot. The fact that he served as a general of Leying also spread throughout the capital. Everyone knows it, everyone knows it.
But Pei Min had reasons that he had no idea. He had been busy with funerals in the Yan Mansion these days, and it was reasonable to turn a deaf ear to Chang'an's movements.
Li Longji thought so too, thinking that Pei Min was an unintentional act, and he didn't say much about this matter. Li Guinian's performance today really surprised him. Thinking of Pei Min's proposal, he was a little moved: he thought that Huang Banchuo was not suitable for the Lexing General, but today he said to Pei Min, which made him more determined. Huang Banchuo's old-fashioned and cliché is not suitable for the exhibition of the pear garden. However, Li Guinian has great talents and can be used for great use.
However, if the appointment is to take it back, it will not be fair to Huang Banchuo. He glanced at Huang Banchuo and thought it would be great if he could make the wise man. However, Huang Banchuo had his head tilted under his head, unable to see his expression, but his body moved slightly, and he was obviously a little angry and it was difficult to speak.
Li Longji frowned, regretting that he was soft-hearted at the beginning, so he had to say: "Jingyuan doesn't know anything, and the other Le Camp is already under Huang Wanchuo."
Pei Min also looked embarrassed and said, "Don't blame this Huangying general. I have been busy in Yan's mansion these days. This is the first time I have heard of this. The Huangying general's military participation drama is awesome, and the Leying general is indeed worthy of it." As he said, he said to Li Longji: "But Li Guinian is such a talent, but it's a pity that he doesn't need it. Your Majesty, do you think this will be successful? Add an additional deputy battalion general, and Li Guinian assists the Huangying general, and each of them will show their strengths."
"Great kindness!" Li Longji immediately promoted Li Guinian to the deputy camp general and instructed: "Yanchuo, do you remember if Jingyuan is today? The art artist's own skills are important, but innovation cannot be ignored. Create some unique and refreshing tunes as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Huang Banchuo's mouth was full of bitterness. He could never have imagined that things would have developed to this extent.
He had dreamed of undermining Pei Min before, but in a blink of an eye the power in his hand divided Pei Min, forcibly acquiring a deputy general, especially this deputy general, Li Guinian, who was extremely afraid of him.
Thinking of the current situation, Huang Banchuo had no idea and had only one thought in his mind: he had to find Qi Qing to think of a countermeasure, otherwise everything would be over.
************
Xiahou Zhan left Qi's mansion with a little unhappy.
Qi Qing's attitude made him, the young master of Yunmengze, feel particularly uncomfortable.
However, the Qi family was in black and white, relying on money to interact with dignitaries and nobles, seeking business convenience, and relying on underworld forces to suppress their peers and sell stolen goods and dirty things, which is very powerful.
Most of the food in Yunmengze was provided by the Qi family. Without the Qi family's stolen goods, the various gold, silver, treasures, silk, and satin they plundered were exchanged for food that could not be obtained and could not maintain such a large-scale team.
Even Xiahou Zhan was young and frivolous, and was praised by many bandits, and he did not consider the consequences, but resisted the urge to fight against Qi Qing. Instead, he chose to leave and parted in disagreement.
Xiahou Zhan felt that Qi Qing's concerns were alarmist and fooled him as a child.
In fact, he felt good. Qi Qing dissuaded Xiahou Zhan, but a large part of it was because he was guilty and did not want to meet Xiahou Zhan and Pei Min.
Who doesn’t know Pei Min’s character?
Since he has drawn the truth, he welcomed all the people in the world to challenge him openly. Obviously, he would not refuse to give up, nor would he take revenge on his opponent and do such a despicable thing.
For a normal challenge, Pei Min doesn't care about winning or losing.
Even if Xiahou Zhan really beat Pei Min, Pei Min would not make things difficult for Xiahou Zhan. Qi Qing was sure of this. However, Xiahou Zhan had a special status and was now a sensitive period. He really didn't want to make trouble, so he persuaded him in every way.
But he didn't understand Xiahou Zhan. As a young man who grew up in a thief's nest, he was used to being lawless. How could he do everything like him, and think twice about it.
The more he didn't let him do this, the more he insisted on doing it. The boy's rebellious mentality was more prominent in Xiahou Zhan.
After leaving Qi's Mansion, Xiahou Zhan headed straight for Pei's Mansion.
The Pei Mansion is also well-known in Chang'an. Although Xiahou Zhan came to Chang'an for the first time, it didn't take much effort to find the Pei Mansion.
After prying open the door of the mansion, the gatekeeper saw that it was a young man holding a knife, and he knew a little in his heart. The other party’s purpose was to come, so he bowed slightly, “Who are you looking for?”
"I'll look for Pei Min! Tell him, and say that the King of Hell in Jingxiang is going to challenge him." Xiahou Zhan showed his side of being unscrupulous, and he called Pei Min's name without respect. In his opinion, Pei Min was a stepping stone to his fame. As for other dukes and the identity of the governor, he was the hawk of the court in the eyes of the son of the giant thief, and it was not worth mentioning.
The concierge frowned. There were many people coming to Pei Min to discuss, but the minimum etiquette must be abide by. "Duke Pei" and "Guoshi Pei" must call him no matter what. The least he is also "People Pei". How can anyone call him the name directly?
"My young master is not here, I'm out early in the morning. Please come back!" The gatekeeper is the father of a maid in the mansion. He is honest and polite. He did not look cold, but his tone was a little cold.
Next door to Pei’s mansion is Yuzhen Temple. There are many believers who come to burn incense in broad daylight.
When I heard the movements next door, I couldn't help but talk.
"Who is this kid? He's so rude to call Duke Liang by his name!"
"I don't know where the mountain villager came from Jingxiang, so there is no basic etiquette."
"That's right, what kind of person is Mr. Pei? He is also what the village man like him wants to see?"
...
Pei Min is still very popular in Chang'an, and he speaks for him everywhere.
Especially those fan girls, Pei Min is handsome and handsome, young and rich, and has a wealthy life. She is also a noble status. She is also empty-handed to treat good people. She is undoubtedly the beauties in the hearts of millions of girls. Although most of them know it is an idea, who can't afford to have a girl in her youth?
Xiahou Zhan grew up in a thief's nest, but he didn't know any etiquette. The mountain village men were all polite to him.
He has been in the world for the past six months and has been in contact with people from the world. It is reasonable that he has come to the door to challenge him with a bad attitude. He has never pointed at the nose like this.
He was young and energetic, and he was so embarrassed that he blushed with shame, and he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into it.
Seeing that the gate of Pei's mansion was gradually closed, Xiahou Zhan was even more angry and shouted, "I'm afraid of you, I'm afraid to fight, you're a turtle, don't dare to fight." He pushed the gate of the mansion suddenly and forcibly broke in.
The gatekeeper did not investigate for a moment, and took several steps back and sat on the ground.
He is old, but when he falls, he can't get up for a while.
This is the first time this Xue Mansion has encountered this situation since it was put on the sign of Pei Mansion.
When I heard about the marriage in the mansion, I was furious immediately.
In the tent, the tent is a unique welfare for senior officials of the Tang Dynasty. As long as they reach a certain level, the court will arrange free guards for officials to act as guards for officials. In the tent, the tent is the name of free guards. These free guards are the children of high-ranking officials. As the tent, the tent is one of their ways to enter the officialdom.
Don’t think that you are the second generation of officials and can enjoy the success of your career. Don’t do marriages and serve as a guard for senior officials in the account. Don’t think of getting promoted. Even if you are the prime minister, you won’t be able to do it.
However, it is not a big deal to let the young men stand guard and be guards. There is a way to make peace. Pay money to redeem yourself, arrange other guards to replace them, and pay a sum of money at the same time. The additional income of such officials is called the marriage account class.
Because they are all very rich and well-off, the marriage account class is a major income for high-level officials.
The people who served as free escorts to Pei Min are located in the front yard of Pei Mansion. They are not allowed to enter the back yard, and there are more than 20 people.
As soon as he saw someone breaking into the house, he pulled up his sword and rushed forward.
They each have their own masters. When faced with this situation, they still don’t work hard. If they pursue it, Pei Min can directly ask their master for guilt.
Xiahou Zhan had rich experience in fighting. As soon as he saw many people swarming up, the long sword on his waist jumped out of the scabbard. With a wave of his hand, the weapons in his hands fell to the ground.
They cut a knife on the back of their hands, and accurately cut the blood vessel on the back of their hands, and blood sprayed out, making them very shocked.
Facing more than twenty people attacking, Xiahou Zhan was not afraid and smiled and said, "Let Pei Min's turtle come out, I will have a good time, he is the first pustule." The long sword in his hand danced like the snowflakes, rolling forward.
Even though there were many marriages, they exclaimed in unison in the tent, took a few steps back, and the more than ten people who rushed to the front were spraying blood columns on their hands, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
For a moment, the guards didn't dare to step forward.
"Come out, if you don't come out, I'll go in!" Now, the arrogant bandit spirit that Xiahou Zhan has cultivated since he was a child has been revealed, and he doesn't care.
"Auntie will meet you!"
Xiahou Zhan was too much of a disturbance, which alarmed Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi in the inner room.
The two rushed out immediately and saw Xiahou Zhan being domineering.
Gongsun Xi was inexplicably angry. Pei Min was her master. Although she had never taught her any martial arts, she still respected Pei Min, who was better than her swordsmanship and helped her for many free time, and she could not bear it.
She had no sword in her hand, but the person rushed out!
He kicked a long sword on the ground, and the long sword shot towards Xiahou Zhan.
Xiahou Zhan was about to block it.
