Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, his colleague Su Youzhi still rode his horse and drove to the vicinity of Anyi Fangfang Gate next to Heng Street. As a neighborhood in Chang'an City, a large number of musicians, actors and advocates, as well as their families and relatives, live together; it also has many related businesses gathered here.
Therefore, on this street filled with the sound of tuning strings, the girl quickly found a musical instrument shop that was not yet closed; she took the initiative to get out of the car and walked into it. Then, from in front of a row of racks of flutes and flutes, the manager of the store came up to him and took out the best-quality private goods.
However, just as the other party hurriedly turned around and left, urging and instigating the clerks and boys in a hurry, the girl took the initiative to come to Su Youzhi's side and said to him coldly: "It seems that someone is hiding under the car. I would like to ask Su Huanzhe to take a look at it for Nunu."
The next moment, Su Youzhi's expression changed slightly, but he calmly faced Xuan Shuang who was accompanying him and nodded slightly; he stepped out of the door in a few steps. However, he did not take direct action. Instead, he whispered a few words to one of his followers, prompting him to quickly walk away and disappear at the corner of the street.
Immediately afterwards, he led the remaining people, took off the weapons hung on the saddles, and while maintaining a certain distance, vaguely surrounded the place where the carriage was parked; at this time, the manager of the store also personally Holding a tray, he presented several flutes wrapped in silk cloth in front of the girl.
But the girl looked as usual, and started to pick them out on the spot; just after she had chosen one long and one short, a spotted flute of Xiangfei bamboo and a small recorder of blue field jade, Xuan Shuang took it out. As the money was being paid, the sound of running footsteps could finally be heard on the street.
But it was a group of Jinwu patrolmen wearing patchwork half-armor and curled-rim helmets, holding simple-headed spears, two-handed hammers, iron staffs and other items; they hurried over. The few pedestrians who returned to the square one after another along the way couldn't help but exclaimed, retreated and ducked by the roadside, and then whispered endlessly...
Such an approaching movement without any cover naturally startled the existence that had been hiding under the chassis of the car for some time. The moment the girl turned around and looked outside, a ghostly black shadow suddenly appeared from under the car; it snaked like a snake and flew out of the street close to the wheel hub.
But then there was a crackling sound in the air, and several whip marks of dust and debris were scattered on the ground in front of him. It was Su Youzhi who took action first; and the remaining few followers also With tacit understanding, they formed an anti-arc array and used their swords and swords to force and surround the opponent.
Therefore, this uninvited guest only had time to escape halfway, and had to move left and right to dodge the whip shadows that came one after another. He gave up his plan to continue escaping into the folk buildings on the street, and had to turn around. He returned to the center of the street; but fled to the outside without hesitation.
But it was no surprise that he bumped into a small group of Wuhou gathered at the side of the square gate, waiting to beat the drum and close the door; but these Wuhou, who were only slightly better in leather shirts and crowns, were not one of his The enemy; he was knocked down and knocked to the ground after just one encounter, and he couldn't stop the opponent for a moment.
But this delay also allowed the girl and Jiang Tian in her arms to see clearly the appearance of the other party; they were a thin man with disheveled hair and unkempt beard. There were many scars on his face and limbs, and his eyes were sharp and sharp. Violent and full of unpleasant connotations.
He was wearing a gray cloth outfit that didn't fit him well, so it couldn't cover up the dirty plain cloth prison uniform underneath. Therefore, if Jiang Tian's memory is correct, this person is probably the death row prisoner who was kidnapped by his accomplices at the Dongshikou execution ground, but he hid under the car.
But although he was very skillful and had always hidden it well, the smell that escaped from his body was too strong; even if it was hastily washed in water. But for Jiang Tian's unique enhanced perception, it was like a looming source of pollution, with no way to hide.
While he was thinking about it, the fugitive from the execution ground had already rushed away from the chasing Jinwu patrolmen; amidst the fierce commotion of chasing, fighting, yelling and yelling, he disappeared into the long street outside the square. At this time, the girl sighed in surprise and returned to the car with the instrument.
However, her little face couldn't hide the lingering emotion. This was probably the first time she had seen such fights and conflicts happening around her. As she sat down in the car, she couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Li Nu, this is The legendary ruthless and brave man who commits suicide and even commits suicide?"
"He's just an unidentified fugitive. There's no need to sugarcoat him." Jiang Tian glanced at her speechlessly and said, "Even the real people in the world are mostly typical outlaws, crazy people. It’s hard to say how many of the disobedient people are upright and heroic.”
"The biographies of knight-errants and knight-errants in historical records and Hanshu are meant to alert future generations, rather than to really praise and praise this group; because the activity of such a group is not a normal situation in itself; it often represents Due to the lack of court regulations;"
"In other words, the ruling order maintained by the superiors cannot reach certain levels among the people. This is why this so-called act of generosity and righteousness that is praised by others is born. Under the powerlessness of the authority of the government, the people have no choice but to Acts of self-relief and private revenge.”
"From the assassination of the Chang'an Order by the Seven Daughters to avenge their father, to the extermination of Guo Xie; whether it was the Zhu family, Tian Zhong, Wang Gong, and Ju Meng, all were accompanied by the struggle and political intrusion in the court; Han Feizi said: Confucianism is based on literature To disrupt the law, chivalrous people use force to violate the prohibition, but the ruler of the people is also polite, so this is the reason for the chaos."
"Even if there is a Tang Dynasty, there is no lack of knight-errants and the soil for their activity; there are even many people who are famous throughout the ages who were one of them. But this does not mean that their existence is full of rationality and legitimacy. , it’s more about the needs of the superiors.”
"Mr. Li Nu, I don't know how to say this?" The girl couldn't help but asked curiously: Jiang Tian stepped on her head with his paw and said: "Because, the other side of the rangers in history are also dead warriors and assassins! They use all possible means. Under the influence of others, it is one of the extraordinary means to remove obstacles for those in power."
"Then, based on what you have seen throughout history, what behaviors can be called true chivalry?" The girl couldn't help but ask seriously: Jiang Tian nodded approvingly and quoted the Internet of later generations. Meme: "A true chivalrous person is one who serves the country and the people!"
"Then..., what kind of behavior can be regarded as serving the country and the people?" The girl asked more and more curiously: Jiang Tian couldn't help laughing: "There are many such examples, such as the reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties To be able to compete with him is because his martial arts skills in opening up new territories have been passed down from generation to generation."
"Becomes the Chinese dynasty in later generations, and promotes the legal principles and basis of the territory since ancient times. One of the most respected behaviors of the knights of the Han and Tang Dynasties was to join the army and make meritorious service and serve the country; some even became famous because of this, and even became generals and ministers. Example. Just like the young people in later generations."
"Ten thousand cups of fine wine from Xinfeng, how many years have you been a wanderer in Xianyang. When we meet, I drink for you. I tie my horse to the tall building and hang a willow tree. He was born as an official in the Han Dynasty, and he first fought with the hussars in Yuyang. Who knows if he doesn't suffer from the hardships of the court, or even to death? I still smell the fragrance of a hero's bones. Or he may say: Fame and fame are only obtained from horses. He is truly a hero and a husband."
"It's a pity that Wan'er is confined to the body of a daughter and is restricted in the palace." After hearing this, the girl sighed with shining eyes: "I can't be lucky enough to see the beautiful things that these generous and heroic people control. era, and the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"No, you still have a chance!" Jiang Tian gently touched her hair and encouraged her: "If you can study and pass on the knowledge well, you will have the opportunity to use it. If you use it in the court, you still have the opportunity to witness the prosperous period in advance."
After saying this, Jiang Tian's eyes looked into the distance, which seemed to be the location of the Eastern Capital of the Tang Dynasty: "If the current Crown Prince can live longer, succeed in inheriting the great treasure, and get what he deserves. Zhihou; that would undoubtedly avoid tragedy and internal strife for many people."
Of course, when the girl returned to the East Palace from the side door with a small car, items and gadgets bought from the East Market, and food and other things, she would have to be scolded by Madam Zheng. It's nothing more than: Mr. Li Nu wants you to see the world, so you can take the opportunity to make random purchases.
Another example is that Xuan Shuang is the new female historian in the palace. With the permission of the Crown Princess, she was sent to drive you on a trip. How could you shamelessly take advantage of the opportunity and let her run up and down to buy so many things for you? ? Therefore, she then led the girl to the inner square to express her gratitude.
In addition to thanking her in person, he also took the opportunity to have a long chat with her; he quietly tested Wu Xuanshuang's tone and background; and proactively said that there was still something he could use for help in the future, but there were some Opportunities to move around and get closer. Then he took his daughter Suye and said goodbye.
Then Mrs. Zheng, who was holding the yawning girl and catching the missing cat, seemed to be murmuring to herself: "What do you think, sir, of her attitude?" Jiang Tian turned his furry head. , making himself feel more comfortable and said: "It doesn't seem like he is deliberately cheating."
"Today in Dongshi, Wan'er was able to come into contact with many and diverse people through Wan'er's orders, and there were many opportunities to pass on news. However, she did not act suspiciously, nor did she interact with anyone. There will be more exchanges. After returning to the other courtyard, we will eat, drink, live and practice swordsmanship as usual."
"It seems that there is a high probability that she is an abandoned child from Dongdu." Madam Zheng said in a low voice: "Perhaps the concubine can act as a proxy for the palace to win over and recruit people; according to what the gentleman said, as long as she can make people After all, this is another reverse news channel facing Dongdu."
"It's really unnecessary, and it's not worth the risk she puts you in." However, Jiang Tian shook his head in her arms and said, "This is just a bright card on the table. Even if he successfully instigates rebellion, the provided The news may not be of much use, it needs to be believed by someone."
"To be honest, with your mother and daughter's current status in the East Palace, there is really no need to do more unnecessary things; in other words, with your own importance, you are enough to be involved in many relationships inside and outside the East Palace, even if you are contaminated by it. Any risk will result in more losses than gains!"
"The teacher's teachings are right, but I don't know it." Madam Zheng responded with a low eyebrow: "It's just that today is the Zhongyuan Festival, and I have no relatives in the palace. Could you please Sir? Do you want us to perform this memorial ceremony of lighting up lanterns to express our feelings together when we are young?"
"Okay!" Jiang Tian looked up at her and agreed: It's night, and the ditch leading to the outside of the East Palace is full of twinkling river lanterns drifting; and in the corner of the mouth, there is a girl offering cake remnants, He also fell asleep in Madam Zheng's arms. He just muttered something vaguely:
"Mom, it's so great to meet Mr. Li Nu." "I only wish I could be with Mr. Li Nu in this life." "The red leaf cakes sold in Dongshi are so delicious." "Sangju The cake is really good, Nunu would like..." "Mom, Mr. Linu, it would be great if he could turn into a human form."
At the same time, Jiang Tian quietly jumped out of the East Palace. Because there are still some things that I don’t understand during the day. While wandering around Dongshi, Jiang Tian actually discovered at least two waves of people following and watching them; and on one of them, he saw some familiar mark. (End of chapter)
