The young man who called the door had an exotic accent. Jiang Shuo felt that he had heard this person's voice there, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Liu Luogu and Li Guiren looked at each other, and Liu Luogu said to Uncle Shun who was so bumped up, "Please go and send the people outside the door away, please!"
Uncle Shun was horrified and said, "The tone of the young man outside the door is very different from that of his generation. He is old and cannot bear any more beatings..."
Li Guiren said angrily: "Go if you are told, otherwise people outside will beat me, so I won't beat you?"
Uncle Shun didn't dare to shirk the blame anymore and hurriedly said: "Go, go...I'll go right away..."
Uncle Shun didn't dare to go out, so he hid in the corner door and poked his head out and said, "I'm really sorry for this merchant. I have something to do at home today, so it's really not convenient for me to accommodate you. Please forgive me."
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: It turns out that there was a merchant passing by outside the door. He also thought that this person had a foreign accent. It seemed that he was a Hu merchant, but how could the merchant take the northern route? Shouldn't we follow the official road to the south?
Another foreigner outside the door said: "Old housekeeper, please excuse me. Look, it's raining so hard now..." This man's voice sounded older than the previous boy, but he was also very young.
Uncle Shun said impatiently: "Ah, what's going on with you barbarians? You've already told us how inconvenient our master's family is today, why are you still here?"
The young Hu man said: "Old housekeeper, we don't want to live in the house, we just want a place to take shelter from the rain. If it doesn't work, we can take shelter on the porch temporarily. Please make it convenient..."
Uncle Shun didn't wait for him to finish, and shouted to himself: "It's inconvenient, it's inconvenient, let's go quickly..."
At this time, a delicate girl's voice said: "Brother Ye Hu, what do you have to say to this old pig and dog? Look at the many horse hoof marks on the ground and the bag on his head. Someone must have broken in from before. Yes, he let others in, but didn't let us in to take shelter from the rain. He is obviously a bully and is afraid of being bullied. Even if you say nice things to him, it is not as effective as your fists."
Jiang Shuo couldn't help but trembled when he heard the girl's voice - the person who spoke was Dugu Xiang. Why was she with Ye Hu, the prince of Huihe?
Uncle Shun over there heard Dugu Xiang say that he wanted to fight. He shrank his head in fright and retreated into the door. Just as he was about to cut in, the corner door was pushed open with a bang, hitting the big bump on Uncle Shun's forehead that had just been knocked out. , Uncle Shun screamed and fell to the ground rolling around, but he saw a girl in red bursting into the door. Jiang Shuo could see clearly through the window paper, it turned out to be Xiang'er.
Dugu Xiang said: "Old man, you are not good at yourself. You hit your head while hiding behind the door. Please don't accuse me falsely."
She turned around and saw dozens of riders and Li Guiren in the courtyard. She exclaimed and turned back to the door.
Li Guiren was shocked and said, "It's the crazy girl from the Dugu family."
Liu Luogu said: "There is nothing we can do. Please ask Quan Daxian to open the door to welcome guests."
Quan Xingjian asked the village guest to open the door, but he saw three tall white camels outside the door. The white camel was very tall. Although he was kneeling on the porch, with his head held high, he was still as tall as a person. Beside the white camel stood an old man. The two young men and three white-robed Uighurs were Pei Luo, the leader of the Uighurs, and his two grandsons Ye Hu and Yi Dijian. Dugu was hiding behind Ye Hu and making a face at Li Guiren.
Bone Strength Peirona glanced inward, the light in his gaze flickered, and those who were caught by his gaze couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Liu Luogu crossed his hands on his horse and said, "It turns out to be Huairen Khan, the Lord of the Grassland."
Bone Strength Pei Luo glanced back again, stared at Liu Luogu and said, "So it's Mr. Liu, how good is your An Zhongcheng?"
Liu Luogu crossed his hands and said to his heart: "Thank you King Khan for your concern. An Zhongcheng is well. He was originally accompanying the saint and the noble concubine at the Lishan Palace. At this moment, the saint has returned to the Xingqing Palace in Chang'an, Xijing, and An Changshi has also set off to return. Fan Yang went to guard the border for the saint."
Jiang Shuo originally wanted to go to Lishan Huaqing Pool to assassinate An Lushan after the Kongtong Mountain incident was over. Now he heard Liu Luogu say that An Lushan had returned to Fan Yang, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Dugu Xiang immediately noticed the old horse held by the servant of the villa. The old horse recognized Dugu Xiang and when he saw Dugu Xiang looking over, he neighed with joy like acquaintances meeting each other. Quan Xingjian had previously ordered them to take the horse. He took the horse away, but new situations kept happening. The servant holding the horse remained stunned in the corridor and did not take the horse away.
Ye Hu also saw Lao Ma and said happily: "Ah! Brother Jiang Shuo is here too?"
Dugu Xin said, "There are two horses. Who is the other one?"
At this time, Li Guiren also discovered Lao Ma. He was very surprised and said, "The boy named Jiang is here too?" He looked around, wondering where Jiang Shuo was hiding.
However, Liu Luogu remained calm and bowed in the air: "It turns out that Young Master Jiang from the Jianghu Alliance is also here. Please come out and meet me."
At this point, Jiang Shuo could no longer hide, so he had no choice but to open the door, walk out of the east chamber with Ye Qingyao, bow to everyone, and say, "Jiang Shuo is here, please invite me."
Cheng Ang was overjoyed and said: "Young master, why are you here!" He thought that Jiang Shuo must be accompanied by masters from the Cao Gang or the Jianghu League. If the Jianghu heroes were already in this house, Li Guiren and Liu Luogu would have surrendered themselves. He looked around for the snare, but he couldn't see where these people were lurking.
At this moment, the small courtyard in Quanxing Jian's house was crowded with people. In the center were Cheng Ang and Nan Jiyun, in the middle were the Yiluohe cavalry led by Liu Luogu and Li Guiren, and in the outer circle were the Uighurs. The two groups of people, Ren and Jiang Shuo, surrounded each other and bit each other, while the heavy rain was still falling, showing no sign of stopping.
At this moment, the thunder started again, slowly rolling back from the distant mountains, and lightning leaped in the air like a dragon. There was only a "boom" sound, and the roof of the west wing was struck by lightning. The roof tiles were in the courtyard. A large piece of it was scattered in the "crash".
Ye Qingyao and Dugu Xiang cried out in fright at the same time. Although they were both skilled in martial arts, they were girls under twenty years old after all. They still had a natural fear of thunder, but Ye Qingyao fell. They held onto Jiang Shuo's lapel, while Dugu Xiang held Ye Hu's arm.
When Jiang Shuo saw Dugu Xiang and Ye Hu acting affectionately, he couldn't help but feel sad. Instead, he didn't notice that Dugu Xiang was glaring at him and Ye Qingyao opposite him.
Quan Xingjian really couldn't figure out why four groups of people entered the house one after another tonight. The atmosphere was even more tense and tense to the extreme. He wiped the rainwater that hit his face and bowed to everyone: "Everyone, At this moment, there is lightning and thunder, and the wind and rain are raging, and everyone here is a guest, so why not invite us into the main hall to serve tea first."
The bone-strength Peiro took the lead and said: "Very good, very good. We are all soaked. It would be even better if we had a brazier to warm our robes."
Quan Xingjian said: "Yes, yes, King Khan, please relax."
Liu Luogu also crossed his hands and said, "Thank you so much Quan Daxian."
Dugu Xiang suddenly pointed at Quan Xingjian and said: "I remember, you are the acupuncture master Quan Xingjian. Last year, you competed with the Silla people in the Beizhen Temple for medical skills. You were the first in the group."
Quan Xingjian crossed his hands and said, "Yes, it's Quan. Madam Dugu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Cheng Ang, who was surrounded by Gai Xin, shouted: "Hurry up and enter the house. Lao Cheng and Pu Gu are standing in the middle. They are the most affected by the wind and rain. It's freezing now."
He didn't care that he was surrounded by people, but he still had time to let Quan Xingjian welcome everyone into the house. He didn't know whether he was born with extraordinary courage, or was muddled and confused, or a combination of both.
Li Guiren looked at Liu Luogu with a questioning look. Liu Luogu's eyes rolled a few times, and he crossed his hands and said to Quan Xingjian: "We are all guests today. Naturally, guests follow the host's will and listen to Quan Xingjian." Arranged by Daxian.
Quan Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief and said to the servants: "Welcome everyone into the main hall. The horses... and this camel will be sent to the stables."
There are many servants in the villa, and they all work separately.
Li Guiren gave the order, and Yiluohe dismounted in unison. He dismounted himself first and then helped Liu Luogu to dismount. It seemed that Liu Luogu was a scribe like Yan Zhuang and was not as good at martial arts as Gao Bujie. .
The servant came to take the reins of the horse from Yiluohe's hand, but Yiluohe refused to hand it over. Li Guiren said: "You will wait on the corridor." The Yiluoye warriors sang loudly in unison, and led the horse to the corridor, like wood carvings and clay sculptures. Stand firm.
The three-humped white camel was unable to be pulled by Zhuang Ke's servants. The bone-strength Pei Luo shouted "ho ho" a few times before the three-humped white camel stood up again. He lowered his head, passed the gate, and let Zhuang Ke lead him away. .
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: "Huairen Khan and the two princes and grandsons are both well-known men. They can safely hand over the three-humped white camel to Zhuang Ke's hands."
What do you have to fear about yourself? He also allowed the banker to take his and Ye Qingyao's horses away.
Quan Xingjian led the way and led everyone through the first courtyard. Jiang Shuo saw that the second courtyard was much larger than the first courtyard. There was a big room in the middle, which must be the main room.
Under the guidance of Zhuang Ke, everyone entered the main room. They saw many candles in the room, which were as bright as day. Zhuang Ke also brought several braziers and placed them in front of the couch for everyone to warm themselves up.
Quan Xingjian rearranged the seats. He himself sat in the middle seat, and Gu Li Pei Luo took the seat on the left, followed by Ye Hu, Dugu Xiang, and Yi Dijian. Jiang Shuo forced his servant Gu Huai Enhe Cheng Ang took the second seat, and he and Ye Qingyao sat at the last seat.
On the opposite side, Liu Luogu was the first, and Li Guiren was second. Although Liu Luogu had no official status, Li Guiren made him the chief, and he took the second seat. There were only two Yiluohe military attachés behind him, and the other sergeants remained. Outside, it seems that the strength is weak.
Quan Xingjian was from a medical family, and there were a lot of medicinal materials in the villa. The servants cooked Huangling and Chenpi decoction. In addition to Huangling and Chenpi, there were also dozens of medicinal materials for removing dampness, such as almond, Gorgon fruit, Atractylodes, etc. After drinking it, everyone fell asleep. My body felt warm.
Everyone had their own thoughts and sat in the room warming themselves by the fire for a long time without speaking. Pei Luo, the strong-willed man, was the first to break the silence and laughed loudly: "Since An Zhongcheng has returned to the east, why did General Li come to the west instead of escorting An Zhongcheng back to Hebei?" ?」
Li Guiren snorted coldly and did not answer. Liu Luogu replied: "The Uighur Khanate was newly established. The old Khan is not in Shuomo, so why did he come to the Tang Dynasty?"
The strong-armed Pei Luo replied calmly: "It is precisely because the Khanate was established that I took my two grandchildren to the Tang Dynasty to see what it was like. After all, the establishment of the Khanate can only rely on force, but governing the country requires civil rule. We are wandering around in the Tang Dynasty. I have been here for more than a year, and I was preparing to return from Shuofang North, but unexpectedly I met you here by chance."
