Da Wei Chun

Chapter 243 Young Muai
The east is gradually whitening, and a crescent moon rises slowly, hanging in the half sky.

The sky is already half bright, the fog is gradually thickening, and the mountains and forests seem to be covered with a layer of veil, hazy, ethereal, like a fairyland.

"Cackling... Zha Zha Zha..."

With a teeth-stinging sound, the suspension bridge was lowered bit by bit, and there was another "bang", and a cloud of dust rose into the sky.

Dozens of white-armored personal guards escorted a carriage out of the city gate and ran westward.

Although the carriage was not wide, it was very long. It was remodeled from a metal van from Baijia Cheying, and it was no problem for two people to lie side by side.

Straw mats and quilts are added to the bottom of the car, which is not very bumpy, so as long as it is not in a hurry, riding a car is still more comfortable than riding a horse.

A food box was placed between the two of them. Zhang Jing held the dried meat in one hand and a wine gourd in the other, tasting it slowly and methodically.

Li Chengzhi was half leaning against the carriage, nodding his head... he was dozing off.

Seeing how sleepy he was, Zhang Jingzhi understood: Li Chengzhi must have listened to what he said yesterday, and his mood was disturbed. He probably didn't sleep much all night.

Zhang Jingzhi pondered for a while, and passed the wine gourd forward: "Drink two sips, and you can sleep more deeply."

Li Chengzhi opened his eyes, smiled apologetically, took the jug, and took a few sips.

so rush...

In a moment of urgency, he forgot that it was distilled shochu, and Li Chengzhi's eyes bulged from the heat.

It's also a misunderstanding.

These distilled spirits were all distilled into high-strength alcohol after he bought integrated liquor when he was still in the court, and were prepared to be used to brew medicinal liquor and bandages.

Who would have thought that after so many battles, not to mention death in battle, the white-armored soldiers didn't even get injured?

Then this wine is of no use other than drinking.

But even Li Chengzhi didn't drink alcohol during the war, let alone the generals below, so all the distilled wine was accumulated.

When Li Song escaped, he took a large part with him, and the remaining small part could not be thrown away, so Li Chengzhi hid it, but he would not show it easily.

Even Li Shixian was lucky enough to taste it the night before, exclaiming in surprise, and asked where Li Chengzhi came from.

How could Li Chengzhi tell the truth, he only said that it was dug out from Liu Huiwang's cellar.

The main reason is that he is afraid of breaking taboos. For him at this time, it is not a good thing to know too much sincerity.

The second is also a little self-cherishing.

Because the process of distilling wine is too simple, it can be done just by looking at it personally: take a big pottery tank to seal the wine, then take a pottery pipe to connect the steam, and connect it to another tank. After the steam condenses, it will be extremely high. distilled spirits.

If you still think the degree is not enough, just steam it a few more times...

The wine steamed in this way is not only spicy, but also has the characteristics of being quick on the head and easy to get drunk. It is not comparable to the liquor of this era in terms of appearance alone.

Zhang Jingzhi, Guo Cunxin and others usually use words like "bright as light yellow" or "bright as amber" when they see good wine.

But after seeing Li Chengzhi's wine, he was as knowledgeable as Guo Cunxin and as quick-witted as Guo Cunxin, so he couldn't find a suitable adjective?

So clear!
It is the water in the well. Is there such a clear water?
What's more, is it still so fragrant?

Alcohol is a spice, and fermented wine also contains other flavor elements, which will not be lost through distillation, so the higher the degree of distilled wine, the more fragrant the wine will be.

So in Li Chengzhi's opinion, this wine is almost perfect except that it has a strong taste and is spicy in the mouth.

However, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were in the Little Ice Age, and the weather in the north was even colder, and it was not uncommon to see snowflakes flying in May and June, so the disadvantage of being hot in the mouth and warming the whole body after drinking it turned out to be an advantage. ?

Therefore, as long as it is a person who has drunk this wine, there is no disapproval.

Just like Daxi: Since I had a drink the night before, I have been chasing Li Chengzhi's ass for a long time yesterday, saying that since the knife has been taken back, is it okay to pay him a few tanks of wine?

Li Chengzhi rolled his eyes when he heard this.

How many cylinders are there?
Even I don't have so many, what are you dreaming of?

……

Li Chengzhi stretched out his tongue and breathed out, then quickly picked up two pieces of dried meat and threw them into his mouth to neutralize the spicy taste.

After chewing twice, Li Chengzhi's eyes lit up.

The saltiness is suitable, the meat tendon is fragrant, and there is a hint of chives, which can't be said to suit his taste.

It's not that he doesn't like meat, but that he doesn't like meat cooked according to the tastes of people in this era.

Either just put salt, and the fishy taste will be fine, let alone the bitter throat, are you cooked?

Or just put all the seasonings in, and boil it into a soup over high heat.When I ate it in my mouth, I knew it was meat, but I couldn't taste the smell of meat at all.

But the current plate gave Li Chengzhi the feeling that future generations would dip their hands in wild chives and eat meat with their fingers?

The more he ate, the smoother he ate, he stuffed one piece after another into his mouth, and asked vaguely: "Who made it?"

Seeing that he was eating more and more delicious, Zhang Jingzhi took a sip of the wine and said slowly: "It's Jingmo... I heard that you are going to accompany me today, and you didn't sleep all night. You boiled it..."

Cooked overnight?

No wonder the jerky is so chewy, yet it's not dry at all?

Li Chengzhi's heart warmed.

I only remember the time when I was alone with her in Chaona and asked her to make tea, and I mentioned a few words during the chat, but she actually wrote it down?

People's hearts are full of flesh, and it would be a lie to say that they are not moved. A slim and exquisite figure naturally appeared in Li Chengzhi's mind.

"She's in the city too... when did you come?"

He put down the jerky, leaned back slightly, and sighed quietly, "The grandpa must be there too? When I sent Sima back to the official residence yesterday, he didn't even remind the younger generation to visit him? How rude... "

Zhang Jingzhi almost laughed out loud.

How could Li Chengzhi want to visit his father?
It was clearly the young Mu Ai who blamed himself for not letting him see Jingmo...

Zhang Jingzhi smiled slightly: "Father is still there, but he didn't pick him up. My wife was afraid that Jingmo would miss her father and become sick from grief, so he brought her back... But Jingmo is still in the filial age, how can I see her?" The reason for the outsider?"

Then how dare you let me see you last time?

After being overwhelmed, Li Chengzhi couldn't help blushing, and at the same time he was slandering, a deep look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Have you forgotten that she is still keeping a filial piety?

And it lasts for three years...

By that time, I will be twenty, and I will already be crowned...

It's not that Li Chengzhi is anxious, but that Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi can't stand the anxiety.

It has only been three or five days since he stepped into the house, and the two of them have chanted it no less than a hundred times in his ears.

In particular, Guo Yuzhi was more concerned about Li Chengzhi than worrying about whether he would rebel.He has even started to give Li Shixian a pillow breeze, planning to take Li Chengzhi to visit the Guo Mansion one day and let him meet his cousin...

Among them, there is no rush to let Li Chengzhi get married, maybe he can live in peace.

Cousin is impossible, it is impossible to kill her.

But in a while, where can he find a woman who is of the right family?

Li Chengzhi is not only the legitimate son of the Li family, but also the future patriarch of the Li family who lives in his ancestors. Now that he is about to be appointed as an official and a nobleman, how can he marry in so casually as a dignified wife?
Guo Yuzhi was so angry that he had no choice but to take a step back and gave Li Chengzhi an ultimatum: the main wife can be postponed, but the concubine must be accepted, and there is a time limit: as short as three months, as late as half a year...

No need to guess, it must be a loli, ninety-nine percent is twelve or three, no more than 14 years old.

Even if you want to marry someone who is slightly older, it is unlikely, because the laws of the Yuan and Wei dynasties do not allow it: if a woman is fourteen years old and unmarried, her family members will be convicted...

Leaving aside the fact that his appearance, quality, and performance are not what he wants, it is still a question of whether Li Chengzhi can speak well at such a young age.

In this situation, he didn't want Zhang Jingmo to be in trouble...

"It's going to be another three years?"

Li Chengzhi thought about it in his heart, but actually said it.

Hearing a "poof", Zhang Jingzhi turned his head violently to one side, almost spraying a mouthful of wine on his face.

Li Chengzhi's face was flushed with embarrassment, and his face was so purple that it almost turned into an eggplant.

Fortunately, there were only him and Zhang Jingzhi. If it was in public, he would have burrowed into the ground.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Zhang Jingzhi waved his hands again and again, "Young Muai, it's human nature..."

Restraining his expression, Zhang Jingzhi said leisurely again: "Originally, I planned to let Jingmo stay for a hundred days, and then get rid of filial piety..."

Eliminate filial piety for a hundred days?

Li Chengzhi's heart moved: "Is it possible?"

"Why can't it be done? Even in the Han Dynasty, there were royal families who took their love to marry their daughters!"

It means: not to mention the Yuan Wei Dynasty where the rules and rituals were almost collapsed.

Zhang Jingzhi looked at Li Chengzhi: "But although the Zhang and Li families are not famous families, they are also families of scholars and scholars. The etiquette and laws that should be observed must be observed. Therefore, if you want to get rid of filial piety in Jingmo, you will not be ridiculed by the nobles. There has to be a reason..."

Li Chengzhi asked expectantly, "For example?"

Seeing his appearance and hearing the word "for example", Zhang Jingzhi almost lost his grip.

While thinking it was funny, he couldn't help feeling relieved: It can be seen how much Li Chengzhi loves Jingmo.

It's not in vain that I, Zhang Fengzhi, worked so hard to help you plan with all my heart...

"For example, if there is an imperial edict like me, if there is an imperial edict ordering Jingmo to abolish filial piety, as a minister, I will naturally lead by example and cannot resist the order..."

Li Chengzhi suddenly realized.

What Zhang Jingzhi was talking about was the marriage law of the Great Wei Dynasty: if a woman is over [-] years old and unmarried, the government will bestow marriage, and her family members will be punished...

However, because the family law of the Yuan and Wei dynasties was equal to the imperial power, generally there would not be a local official who would be so serious as to drag a woman who missed her marriage due to mourning and filial piety to give him a marriage.

If you think about it, you can know how many ordinary people take etiquette seriously in this era?
Those who will abide by the etiquette and observe the mourning are [-]% of the gentry, and no one who is not open-eyed will get into trouble.

But if such an edict really comes down, some people will obey it.

Just like Zhang Jingmo is getting older and older, if he continues to keep it, he will be picked and picked by others if he becomes a concubine...

Li Chengzhi was overjoyed, rolled his eyes and asked, "Is Xi guarding enough?"

"What's the use of bothering Zhenshou Xi...Yang...huh?"

Hearing that Li Chengzhi wanted to invite Xi Kangsheng, Zhang Jingzhi suddenly laughed.

He is just Zhang Jingmo's uncle, and his grandfather Zhang Wei is still alive. This edict will naturally be issued to his father who is retired in court. Yang Shu, the prime minister of Longdong County, is enough.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly.

Li Chengzhi meant that he was going to beg Xi Kangsheng?

How impatient is this?
"I'm determined!" Zhang Jingzhi sighed slightly, and said after pondering for a long time, "The reason why I hesitated before was because I was afraid of breaking your spirit. Now it seems that there is no mistake..."

Lost his spirit... Zhang Jingzhi was afraid that he would fall into the land of tenderness and be unable to extricate himself?
Is my uncle thinking a little too early?

How can I, Li Chengzhi, be such a person?
Besides, with Li Song and others chasing after him, Zhang Jingzhi and Li Shixian might be added in the future, how could he be given such a chance?

Li Chengzhi sighed softly: "Sima is too worried..."

After chatting for a few words, the matter was roughly finalized. Perhaps Li Chengzhi fell asleep unknowingly because of the strength of the wine.

This time, he slept until the afternoon, the carriage had already passed Jingyang, and it was less than ten miles away from Chaona City.

Standing outside the car, Li Chengzhi looked at the Longshan Mountains that stretched thousands of miles away, and it seemed like a dream?
Two months ago, when Suo Siwen and Jiang Rang were executed, how could they have thought that today would happen?
Hearing shouts and reprimands not far away, Li Chengzhi raised his eyes to see that Li Rui was arguing with a white armor general.

Looking around again, I don't know when, there are suddenly many white armored cavalry around the car.

If it weren't for that A would flutter with the wind from time to time, Li Chengzhi would have mistakenly thought that Li Song's people had sneaked back.

The extra ones are actually the brigade of armored soldiers and two battalions of auxiliary soldiers temporarily relocated outside Chaona City.

It must have been the scouts who bumped into Li Chengzhi's white-armored personal guards during their patrol, so they guessed that Li Chengzhi must be in the car.

They wanted to see the ceremony, but Li Chengzhi was sleeping, so Li Rui would naturally not let him go.

Li Chengzhi is a little pleased: Although it is not wartime, let alone has no self-control, but even in the auxiliary battalion, the military discipline of the white armor soldiers has not been lax, and they can still strictly abide by the military discipline set by themselves, and sent scouts twenty miles away .

Otherwise, the commander-in-chief of the auxiliary battalion couldn't have waited here early.

The one who was arguing with Li Rui was Zhang Xinyi, Zhang Jingzhi's cousin, who would soon become Li Chengzhi's cousin...

He sighed softly, and waved to the guards beside him: "Tell Zhang Xinyi, let him gather his soldiers... I will wait for him in Sima's mansion, and I won't enter the camp..."

Did you pass the camp but not enter?
Zhang Jingzhi's lips moved slightly, not knowing what to say, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again.

He knew very well that Li Chengzhi was avoiding suspicion.

More than just not camping?

One brigade of white armor soldiers, four brigade of white armor auxiliary soldiers, almost disbanded by Li Chengzhi...

In order to avoid future troubles, all those who were from Chaona, Jingyang, or who had something to do with Zhang Jingzhi, Yang Shu, etc., were all kept by Li Chengzhi, that is, the five brigades who moved to Chaona.

As for the four battalions that followed Li Songxun, more than half were prisoners reorganized after Li Chengzhi's defeat of Li Wenzhong, and the smaller half were the township strongmen of the Li and Song families, and some monk strongmen.

According to Li Chengzhi's vision, from the perspective of stabilizing the people's livelihood in Chaona County, the soldiers of the five brigades would all be disbanded on the spot.

But neither Xi Kangsheng nor Li Yun and Yang Shu agreed.

Are you kidding me?
Such a strong army, is it disbanded when it is said to be disbanded?
You Li Chengzhi don't want it, some people want it.

Li Yun is the governor of Qizhou, whether he is disbanded or not, he can't get involved...

For the remaining few, Xi Kangsheng wanted to serve as state soldiers, Yang Shu wanted to serve as county soldiers, and Zhang Jingzhi was having a headache. How many strong men are there in the entire Chaona County? Officers and soldiers, what should Chaona County do? Can the land be planted?

In addition, Li Chengzhi's award has not yet come down, maybe he will be named a general who leads the army, and no one will have to fight by then, and it will naturally belong to Li Chengzhi.

Therefore, when several phases are superimposed, the whereabouts of the two thousand and five hundred soldiers will be put on hold first.

It was Li Chengzhi who asked Xi Kangsheng himself to discuss whether the soldiers were homesick and whether they could be stationed outside Chaona City.

As long as they don't disband, Xi Kangsheng naturally agreed.

This is also the reason why Jingzhou's five soldiers and young adults lost nearly [-]% after this battle, but Xi Kangsheng still had the confidence to let the Gaoping town army withdraw from Xiaoguan and replace it with Jingzhou state soldiers to garrison...

……

The distance of ten miles will arrive in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the towering White Armored Army array tens of feet away, Li Chengzhi's heart felt hot.

"You bastard Zhang Xinyi, you've already said you don't see him..."

Cursing in his mouth, Li Chengzhi couldn't help but feel his heart agitated.

These are all... my Li Chengzhi's soldiers...

Li Chengzhi is so tall, with such outstanding appearance, and he is still standing on the shaft of the chariot. How can there be any reason why the white armor soldiers can't recognize him?
They didn't listen to anyone's order, let alone wave the command flag. The [-] soldiers seemed to be tied together, and their movements were so neat that it was frightening.

Just hearing the sound of "dong", the soldiers of the five brigades slammed their breastplates heavily, knelt down in unison, and roared in unison: "Marshal!"

It was clearly a bright and clear sky, but it seemed like a thunder had exploded?

"Master..."

"Master..."

"Big guy"...

Just like a landslide and a tsunami, echoes echoed among the male cities and mountains for a long time.

For a while, it seemed that there was no more unnecessary noise, and even the sound of the mountain wind blowing and fluttering the flag was suppressed.

No matter how calm and reserved he was, Li Chengzhi's eyes still turned red involuntarily.

He also knows that today is different from the past, the five brigades are already solid officers and soldiers, and he, Li Chengzhi, is also a veritable official of the imperial court.

It would be a taboo to call him Dashuai again.

I'm no longer your handsome man... I kept thinking like this over and over in my mind, and the words came to my lips, but it was as if my throat was blocked, Li Chengzhi just couldn't say it?
To avoid suspicion, to avoid taboo...

Why can't you see the soldiers that grandpa brought up with one hand?

Li Chengzhi jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the army formation.
