People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

Zheng Guanyin nodded, and a female guard flashed over and patted the servant on the shoulder. The servant turned around and saw a fist as big as a bowl flying towards him. With a "bang", his face was covered with colorful dyes as if a dyeing factory had opened.

The man's head was blocked and he fell on his back. When he got up, he felt a sharp pain. He wanted to open his mouth to curse, but suddenly found his teeth were exposed. He reached out his hand and felt blood. It turned out that several teeth were knocked out.

The woman was just an ordinary girl from a small family. She couldn't bear to see such a scene. When she saw her son escape, she quickly took his hand, thanked Li Wenbin and Zheng Guanyin hastily, and left in a hurry.

Seeing that they were even more domineering than himself, Zheng Junyi could not help but fly into a rage and said, "How dare you, a bunch of street slaves, to injure my servants! I will send you to Chang'an Prefecture to be beaten!"

Zheng Guanyin said to Li Wenbin impatiently: "Are you going to hold a trial here? Send them away!"

Li Wenbin laughed, and the hand that was pinching Zheng Junyi's shoulder suddenly slid behind his neck. With his big hand, Zheng Junyi couldn't even speak for a moment, and could only cough due to choking.

Seeing this, another family member was afraid that their husband would suffer, so he quickly shouted: "Stop! My husband is a descendant of Zheng family in Xingyang. If you hurt him, you will have no place to stand in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Wenbin exclaimed, "So he is from a noble family. Such bad behavior is really a disgrace to your family. I will teach him a lesson on behalf of his father!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked Zheng Junyi on the ** with a "bang".

Li Wenbin didn't hold back at all when he kicked Zheng Junyi, who fell straight out, like a dog eating shit.

Chapter 83: Fine Grape Wine and Luminous Cup

Seeing Li Wenbin's skill, the two servants knew they had hit a wall today, and they dared not say anything more, but just stepped forward to carry Zheng Junyi and ran away. Li Wenbin clapped his hands and walked back, and Zheng Guanyin smiled and said, "What a great and majestic man!"

Li Wenbin shook his head and said, "He is just a scoundrel who relies on his family background to bully the kind-hearted dude. How can he be so powerful?"

Zheng Guanyin smiled, pointed forward with her little fan, and said, "Look, the boat is parked there, let's go over there!"

The two servants of the Zheng family were afraid that their young master would suffer, so they carried Zheng Junyi and ran a long way before putting him down. As soon as Zheng Junyi's feet touched the ground, he slapped the uninjured servant hard in the face and cursed him viciously: "Useless idiot!"

He dusted off his muddy robe in a rage and said, "Don't mention your name anymore in the future. Do you want to ruin the reputation of our Zheng family?"

The servant agreed hesitantly. Zheng Junyi turned around and looked at Li Wenbin's back as he walked towards the dock in the distance. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! When I find out who you are, I'll make you pay!"

The servant whose face was covered with blood from the punch held his crooked nose and said with a sad face: "My dear, let's go back home!"

"No return!"

Zheng Junyi said angrily, "I've suffered such a big loss for nothing, and this is the end of it? Bah! I won't sleep with that woman, I can't get rid of this anger! Chase her, I must find her!"

……

At this time, Li Wenbin and Zheng Guanyin had already arrived at the dock and saw the boat she had prepared.

The boat prepared by Zheng Guanyin was not very big. It was not a luxurious building ship or pleasure boat. It looked very ordinary on the outside and had only one floor. The middle part was the cabin and the front and rear were decks. It could accommodate at most twenty or thirty people.

A step had already been set up between the boat and the shore, and the inspectors along the river already knew who the owner of the boat was, so they did not dare to stop it.

Zheng Guanyin and Li Wenbin boarded the boat, cast off the ropes and set sail. The boat slowly sailed to the center of the ship and then went downstream along the Wei River.

There was still constant noise and singing and dancing on both sides of the river, but after all, they were some distance away from each other, so the boat became much quieter.

On the front deck, there were only Li Wenbin and Zheng Guanyin. The eight strong women had already taken shelter in the cabin. The lights on both sides of the river, the stars above, and the sparkling water gradually became hazy. Although it was already autumn, the breeze did not make people feel cold.

At some point, Zheng Guanyin had already undone her hair.

Her long hair fluttered and scattered on her shoulders, giving her an unusually soft and beautiful look under the starlight.

Zheng Guanyin sighed softly, looked at the scenery slowly passing by on both sides of the river, and murmured, "I feel a little more relaxed now that I'm here."

Li Wenbin turned his head, stared at her and said, "Isn't it good to be on the long street?"

Zheng Guanyin shook her head and said softly, "Lonely! There are too many people there, so... I am very lonely."

This sentence seemed confusing, but Li Wenbin understood it.

Li Wenbin was silent for a moment, then looked at a pleasure boat that was approaching slowly from the opposite side, and said, "Perhaps for you, loneliness is already an unbearable pain. But is life as a daughter of heaven really that hard? If so, how could you be envied by the world? Many times, ordinary women do not have the same feelings as you, but they do not have the time to feel sad about such feelings, because they have suffered much more than you, and they have also experienced much more suffering than this."

Zheng Guanyin frowned slightly. It would have been fine if she didn't get any comfort from Li Wenbin, but she was implicitly stabbed by him instead. Doesn't this guy have any sympathy for women?

Zheng Guanyin's eyebrows only slightly frowned, and then relaxed: "Only because of this, he is Li Wenbin, the one and only."

There are so many people around her who are willing to compliment her.

Isn't the reason why she is obsessed with Li Wenbin because of his uniqueness?

Zheng Guanyin stared at him with her star-like eyes and said softly, "No matter what, I'm very happy that you are willing to accompany me today, really!"

Li Wenbin held onto the side of the boat with both hands. The oncoming pleasure boat was passing by the side of the boat, and the waves it stirred up made their boat go up and down.

As the bow of the boat rose and fell, he smiled at Zheng Guanyin and said, "Okay! Tonight is the Qixi Festival. Do you have any wine to drink?"

There is wine on board.

There are all kinds of fine wines, including all the famous wines in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the most popular one is wine.

Fine grape wine in luminescent cups. They used a set of crystal clear luminescent cups, which sparkled under the light. The bright red wine was poured into the cups, and the red wine reflected on their faces.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention any issues that bothered them, and this night was devoted to joy.

They talked a lot. Zheng Guanyin told Li Wenbin how she felt when she first came to Chang'an and how she felt when she first saw him.

Li Wenbin talked about how he had a hard time and was walking on thin ice in the Prince of Qin's mansion.

The food and wine were plentiful, and although they were all fish, they were cooked in a variety of ways, including frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying. There were also many types of fish, all freshly caught from the Wei River, and cooked right after being caught.

It was impossible for the boatman or the cook to listen to their conversation, so there were only the two of them in the cabin.

There were only two of us, but the boat didn't feel empty.

Loneliness is not actually about the number of people around, especially when a man and a woman are together.

The wine glasses were not big, and each glass of wine was just enough to let people taste its mellow aroma before seeing the bottom of the glass, so the wine was poured frequently, and the more frequently the wine was poured, the faster one would get drunk. When Li Wenbin felt that his face had become swollen and numb, Zheng Guanyin's eyes also became fixed.

"Where is this ship going?"

Li Wenbin was still conscious, and he listened to the sound of oars outside the cabin with some uneasiness.

"No matter where it goes, it would be best if it goes to the horizon. That way... I won't have so many worries."

Zheng Guanyin laughed, and seeing Li Wenbin's worried expression, she covered her mouth and said, "Look at your courage. Don't worry, I will definitely come back when the day breaks."

After Zheng Guanyin finished speaking, she leaned over and snuggled into Li Wenbin's arms.

Originally, they were sitting opposite each other, separated by a table, but they didn't know when they were sitting together.

Tonight, everyone is drunk even without drinking. Zheng Guanyin's soft and beautiful face is rosy from the alcohol. She hugs Li Wenbin's waist and says coquettishly, "I want you to hold me while I sleep, to coax me to sleep..."

Zheng Guanyin fell asleep as soon as she threw herself into his arms. Her neat eyelashes covered her eyes, and a pair of petal-like lips on her rosy face were slightly pouting, like a cute and naive child.

Chapter 84 Young Soldiers

Li Wenbin leaned back and found a comfortable position. Zheng Guanyin, who was originally lying in his arms, now lay on her side on his legs, resting her head on his thighs, still sleeping soundly.

Li Wenbin let out a long sigh, tilted his head back on the bulkhead, and swayed gently with the rise and fall of the ship.

His body was drunk, but his heart was not, and his mind always remained clear.

Zheng Guanyin is undoubtedly lovely at this moment, but it is like this tonight, only tonight.

Not to mention that she already has a husband, and not to mention the worldly resistance, even her own personality makes it impossible for her to be a good match for him, Li Wenbin.

She is like a fire, loving fiercely, but also losing control and burning herself and others.

She can tolerate it now only because Li Wenbin is not hers. What if they have a closer relationship?

Li Wenbin never doubted her love for him, but no matter how cautious Zheng Guanyin was, he could feel the pride and strength hidden deep in her bones. She was who she was, Zheng Guanyin!

This is where her charm lies, but because of this, Li Wenbin has never thought of making her the little woman by his side.

Li Wenbin is not the kind of ignorant boy with a face full of acne and trembling all over due to hormone stimulation, who thinks that with love he has everything, can solve everything, and can overcome his own personality and all objective existence.

Love is not everything, love cannot replace everything, and love cannot conquer everything.

He gently pulled over a soft, thin quilt and wrapped it around Zheng Guanyin. He held her in his arms and slowly closed his eyes.

In the sky, there is the Milky Way, and on the ground, there is the Wei River. That night, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet once a year. If this year was a year on earth, then they actually meet every day. Ordinary people are just a group of fools.

If this year is a year in heaven, then it is 360 years on earth! Mortals are not immortals and cannot live for 360 years, so a reunion is a lifetime.

Are Li Wenbin and Zheng Guanyin in heaven or on earth?

In the Milky Way, magpies are building a magpie bridge, and in the Wei River, the bow of a boat is plowing the water.

What’s in the sky, in the water, on the shore, on the boat, in the eyes and in the heart, all weave into dancing streams of light… Heaven and earth, all blend into one!

……

A few days later, Su Dingfang returned from Hebei, bringing with him two hundred young men aged fifteen or sixteen.

Li Wenbin had long ago asked Li Shimin for a farm outside Chang'an city as a place to train troops. When he heard the news, he immediately rushed to the farm.

Li Wenbin rushed to the farm accompanied by Su Dingfang. Two hundred young men wearing very rough blue cloth shirts were squatting or sitting scattered around the courtyard and outside the farm. Each of them held a bowl of porridge and ate it with two bran and vegetable steamed buns with great relish.

Su Dingfang pushed open the bamboo fence outside the courtyard and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, get up! Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Your master is here, everyone, get up and greet him!"

The young men looked surprised and stood up in twos and threes.

Li Wenbin turned his gaze to the young men and saw that they all had frightened looks in their eyes, their bodies were thin and gaunt, and their spirits were extremely depressed.

"Are these people from clean backgrounds?"

Su Dingfang said: "It's very clean. Hebei has been at war for years, and these young men have no one else in their families. They rushed here as soon as I called them, just to have an extra bite of food and not starve to death."

Li Wenbin felt inexplicably sad after listening to this. He looked at these kids who were only in their teens, not much younger than himself, but had no idea what life was and just wanted to survive.

"Lao Su, treat them well. They will be my old team in the future. I will give you some money to buy a few pigs every day so that they can have enough food and clothes. First, take care of their health before we can talk about training them."

"promise."

Along with these two hundred young men, three hundred strings of cash were also handed over to Su Dingfang.

……

In the center of the camp, Su Dingfang, wearing leather armor and wielding a whip, intimidated the teenagers in training in a queen-like manner.

After a few days of eating a rich diet of fish and meat, the boys' frail bodies finally regained their strength and their complexions became rosy again.

Li Wenbin was not stingy with the food for the teenagers, he only required them to train hard. In order to motivate them, he even implemented a penalty system for last-placed players - whoever ranked in the bottom five in the training subject of the day would not have dinner and would go hungry until dawn.

This bad idea immediately aroused the young men's strong desire to eat dinner - they had come here with great difficulty just to have a full meal, and no one would go against their own stomach, so everyone worked very hard in training, and there was no laziness or slacking off.

Su Dingfang was puzzled by some strange training tools in the center of the camp: balance beams, barbed wire, climbing walls, weighted backpacks...

These new modern gadgets completely overturned Su Dingfang's concept of military training.

Several times when questions were raised, Li Wenbin just smiled and did not answer. It was not because he was pretending to be profound, but he himself could not explain the reason. After all, he only had half a bucket of knowledge of military theory. He knew the results but not the reasons. He was simply copying others.

Later, after Su Dingfang tried these training tools himself, he finally realized it and praised Li Wenbin as a genius in military training.

Li Wenbin once thought that he was scolding him indirectly, but when he saw that Su Dingfang praised him more sincerely than the real estate agent in his previous life, he gave up the idea of ​​revenge on him.

Building an elite force of his own from scratch is something Li Wenbin has been looking forward to for a long time.

Many new ideas about strengthening the army and military power would certainly have little effect if used on the officers and soldiers of the Sixteen Guards, but there would be no problem using them on these two hundred newly recruited young men.

These are two hundred pieces of snow-white and clean paper. Li Wenbin can splash ink as he pleases according to his own ideas and paint them into a series of unique paintings.

The seed of hope in my heart finally began to take root and sprout after being buried and endured for two years.

These two hundred young people are the beginning of his hope.

……

"Wenbin, the New Year is almost here." Changsun Wugou sat opposite Li Wenbin and said with a sweet smile.

With his care during these days, Changsun Wugou's needs were fully met.

The harmony of her endocrine system has made her bright and beautiful, and her already outstanding appearance has been taken to a higher level.

Not only her, but also Concubine Yang is the same.

This made Concubine Yin think that the two of them had some secret recipe for beauty, and she tried her best to ask for it, but she never got what she wanted.

The fight between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng was about to reach a climax. He spent less and less time in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, so that Li Wenbin had become the actual owner of the Palace.

This made him live extremely comfortably during these days.

Chapter 85 New Year

Changsun Wugou's nonsensical words made Li Wenbin not know how to respond.
