Chapter 24: Lishan Face Saint

This night Hongjun had another nightmare.
In the dream, Du Hanqing caught fire all over and was burning violently. His skin cracked and burst out of blood, showing the fluffy fox fur under the skin. The painful fox was struggling from the human body, dragging the blood With the fat sizzling, wailing tragicly.
"Ah--!" Hong Jun sat up suddenly.
"Hong Jun?" Mo Rigen's voice rang outside the room, and he walked in quickly, pressing one hand on Hong Jun's forehead.
Hong Jun breathed softly. This was his second nightmare. He struggled to sit up and could not hold his breath. He settled down and looked at Morigen.
"The night the White Deer left." Morigan whispered, "The nightmare of the grassland is raging everywhere, howling."
He poured Hongjun a glass of water and chanted a few spells on the tea bowl silently. Hongjun took it, and after a drink he felt a little calmer.
"What do you mean?" Hong Jun asked.
"The blue wolf guards the day, and the white deer guards the long night." Mo Zhigen said, "There is a legend in our hometown that when the white deer disappears in the dark, the children who leave home will have nightmares ... Are you homesick? "
"One point." Hong Jun nodded.
Mo Rigen patted Hong Jun's shoulder and smiled: "When people grow up, they always leave home."
"Yeah." Hong Jun whispered and nodded gratefully at Mo Rigen. After drinking the bowl of water, he felt much better and lay down again. This time, he quickly fell asleep.
Early next morning, Hongjun woke up the earliest. When he squatted by the well and brushed his teeth, the carp demon learned about last night and persuaded him, "What do you care about that monster? No one can care about it unless it's relatives. Come on. "
Hong Jun wiped his mouth, thought for a moment, and replied: "I am actually a demon, isn't it? One day, Long History will know."
"You are different from the foxes," said the carp demon. "The long history doesn't bother me. It's the blame that the foxes didn't trust your father. I never saw you saying that all beings are equal. "
"That's different." Hong Jun said, "If you don't eat meat, you will be compassionate; if you eat meat, you will free them from the bitter sea," Qingxiong said.
"Long history early." Qiu Yongsi and Li Jinglong greeted each other from the back, and Hongjun and the carp demon immediately stopped talking. At this time, Mo Zhigen happened to come in from outside, and Li Jinglong said: "Done?"
Mo Rigen nodded, Hong Jun asked: "So early, what did you do?"
Mo Zhigen smiled mysteriously and made a "shush" gesture, indicating that you will know later.
However, Li Jinglong said: "This time I only heard the words of compassion as a bosom, first breakfast, and change clothes after eating."
When it comes to big things, a little sleep will also become insignificant in the past. Hong Jun's mustard in his heart has already disappeared last night. When confronted with Li Jinglong, he was somewhat uncomfortable. But Li Jinglong just glanced at him, and then ordered everyone to change their official uniform.
The fabric of the Exorcist Secretary's uniform is made by the emperor and Guiyang Yang. The fine dark blue material, with a snow-white lining, a sleeve-sleeved robe, has a shoulder width and a narrow waist, which is different from the broad robe of the civil servants. It has a nine-point length under the chest and reveals dark black boots, which is convenient for fighting. With a mighty air.
Everyone stood in front of the mirror and arranged in sequence. Sure enough, everyone leaned on their clothes, and they all looked very tall and handsome. Even Qiu Yongsi, who was accustomed to a scholar robe, had an upper body in his official uniform, and he also showed his heroic spirit. Among the five, Hong Jun is the best. Since he arrived in Chang'an, Hongjun has become accustomed to the sleeveless robe, and the upper body is pale and the lower body is washed. It is like a farm boy. He can't control it if he is an ordinary person. However, Hong Jun is born with a good foundation. Now I have changed into a luxurious fabric, which is really unsightly, and has the style of Wang Xie's brother.
"A little neck ..."
As a result, Hong Jun was exposed.
Li Jinglong had to step forward to help him pull apart, saying, "I forgot the collar."
Li Jinglong specially asked the tailor to come over once, and worked overtime to catch up. At that time, Hong Jun was not there, and now his clothes were very close. Hong Jun was a bit strange. He asked, "No one has measured it for me."
Li Jinglong was a little embarrassed, coughed, and said to everyone: "Look, I will say it is appropriate."
"Chang Shi's eyes are really powerful." Mo Rigen gave his thumbs up.
Hong Jun looked at Li Jinglong suspiciously and asked, "How do you know my size?"
"Okay, don't ask ..." Li Jinglong handed Hong Jun a shrunken, bathrobe-like dress, pointing out of the room, and said, "You are thin, and I will do the rest of the fabric."
"Zhao Zilong—!" Hong Jun shouted suddenly with the little bathrobe.
"What is it?" Zhao Zilong flew over immediately. After living for so many years, he was still wearing clothes for the first time. Seeing Li Jinglong didn't forget himself, he immediately cheered and took the bathrobe and spread it on the ground.抻. After putting on the bathrobe, the belt was tightened, and the back just covered the tail. Li Jinglong gave it a small satchel and let it carry it, which must be used to hold the soul pollen.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the carp demon also said, "Let me see ..." So he kept jumping in front of the mirror.
Li Jinglong said: "Everyone will act together today. This is a day related to life and death, and Lishen Pollen is fine. Don't use it indiscriminately."
Everyone responded, took their weapons, and prepared to go out. Hong Jun jumped up and down, thinking of Li Jinglong ’s
If the Exorcism Division was unharmed
that night, as if he understood something, when he looked at Li Jinglong again, Li Jinglong glanced at him In his eyes, with a faint smile, he seemed to comfort him: Don't worry, everything will be fine.
In the early morning, the Lishan Cloud Waterfall poured out, and the clothes of the climbers were soaked. On the side of the carriage, the guard of the Shenwu Army hurriedly said: "General! Please get in the car!"
Feng Changqing crutches, struggling to climb Lishan step by step, walked to the Temple of Emperor Zizi, and waved his hand at the same time, saying, "No problem, do you look down upon this talent?"
The soldiers had no more to talk about, seeing Feng Changqing walking along the official road, rickets. Feng Changqing's parents died since his childhood. His grandfather was exiled in Anxi after being framed by Li Linfu. He lived a life of dissipation. Rong Ma Zhuo was a disabled person, but he played an amazing talent under Gao Xianzhi. In the past 13 years, he has become a veteran comparable to Ge Shuhan and other veterans.
Feng Changqing's repeated battles and repeated victories made him almost indiscriminate in fighting in the Western Regions. Everyone laughed at Li Jinglong, but never dared to laugh at this weak and thin Feng Changqing, who ruled the army, and naturally had the power to be angry and self-confident.
Although Feng Changqing was idle in Beijing, on the day the teacher returned to the dynasty, he presented Li Longji with a nearly 10,000-character setback, demanding that the frontier fields be rectified, with Huairou as the government, and the expeditionary soldiers returning home. Therefore, he has a high reputation in the military officer camp and the army.
The hurried into the Huaqing Palace with a mist. At that time, Li Longji was still sleeping with his arms around Yang Yuhuan. The did not dare to call, and I was afraid that Feng Changqing rushed in with a cane, and no one outside guarded him.
The opened his mouth, dared not make a sound, and was extremely anxious.
"Say something, don't talk about it."
The voice of Li Longji came from the account, but he woke up.
"What time is it?" Yang Yuhuan asked lazily.
"Feng Changqing Feng General, waiting outside, said that there are 100,000 urgent matters, to report to your majesty ..."
When he heard this, Li Longji straightened up and murmured: "What happened again? Shouldn't it? Hasn't this been the case for the Changqing mission? Has the Ministry sent him to come?"
"Is it military?" Li Longji thought about it and asked, "How about Guozhong? Why not go to Guozhong first?"
The said: "It is closely related to the Datang National Games ..."
"What the is going on." Li Longji waved impatiently and said, "Tell him, I know. When did he come?"
"I went down the mountain last night and walked up step by step." The replied.
Yang Yuhuan said: "General Feng is inconvenient in his legs and feet. Why did he come up? Your Majesty."
Li Longji was helpless, wrapped in a dragon robe, and laid his hair out towards the bedroom.
In the side hall, Feng Changqing leaned on crutches, unable to catch his breath, and stared at Li Longji with a serious face.
"Don't worry." Li Longji comforted instead, "Give the seat, give General Feng a sip of water and say slowly."
Feng Changqing couldn't help shaking, looking up at Li Longji.
Li Longji is old, although he has a sense of beauty, but after sixty years of age, he will inevitably show signs of aging. Feng Changqing was less than a year old, but he looked older than Li Longji.
"When Chen Chen climbed this Lishan Mountain today ..." Feng Changqing took the cloth delivered by the eunuch, wiped his sweat, and gasped, "I don't know why, I remember your majesty's time ... the heroic posture.
"What year's heroism?" Li Longji laughed instead.
Feng Changqing looked at Li Longji and said, "The first year of Tang Long, the year when Lingyan Pavilion met with teachers."
Li Longji got up early in the morning and heard that Feng Changqing was narrative with himself. He immediately laughed at him, but his instinct for a long time as an emperor also told him to talk about old things first.
"If it weren't for you, I almost forgot." Li Longji laughed, took the ginseng soup from the eunuch, took a sip, and said, "Well, give Changqing a bowl too."
That year, Li Xianfu and Ge Fushun countered the Yu Linjun, killing Queen Wei who wanted to emulate Wu and reign as emperor. Li Longji and Princess Taiping met in the honor of Ling Yan, vowed to defend the world of the Li family, killed the palace, killed Princess Anle, Wu Yanxiu, Shangguan Wan'er, and recaptured Li's Jiangshan.
The past is like a world away, but when I heard that Feng Changqing reiterated the old things, Li Longji still couldn't help thinking of the blood that year.
"There is also the first year of Kaiyuan." Feng Changqing said again.
If you remember correctly, it was the year when Li Longji launched another coup and slaughtered Princess Taiping. Since then, a prosperous world of Datang officially kicked off the prosperity.
"Changqing, you know, the peace is flourishing now," Li Longji said. "It's a blessing of life. I can use this knife, but it's a good thing."
Li Longji heard some hints from Chang Qing's mouth, and he also hinted back that no matter what happened, he didn't want the court to have great turbulence.
"Your Majesty Shengming," Feng Changqing replied immediately, "Chang Qing thought of His Majesty, but couldn't help but think of himself."
Li Longji frowned slightly.
Feng Changqing asked: "Chang Qing only knows that he has not been in the account of General Gao Xianzhi. In these years, has military information been concealed from the court?"
"No." Li Longji replied, "It's quite a lot to lie through other people's lies."
"Have you ever deceived your majesty in these years?" Feng Changqing asked again.
"Under the world, only you can tell the truth on the most occasions." Li Longji's tone, with unquestionable majesty, "Although not listening, but the one who never lied, what happened to Chang'an? ? "
Li Longji was also a ruthless character when he was young. Although he was indulgent and gentle in the past few years, his mind is still sober in front of big and bad.
Feng Changqing raised his hand, trembling, pointed to his neck, and replied: "If there is a half-truth in Changqing today, please take your head from your majesty, Changqing has no complaints."
Li Longji frowned, wondering what medicine Feng Changqing sold in the gourd, and finally said: "Say."
On the three poles of the day, the bells of
Dang—Dang—Dang—
in the Imperial Examinations Center of Chengbei were heard one after another, and nearly 2,500 students were subjected to a body search. The hallway is connected, and the door is marked with the sky and earth.
The students searched outside, received licenses, followed by the brand number, and waited at the door of the box. The examiner passed outside to verify the card and the body again. The candidate hung the card at the door. After entering, the examiner put a seal on the ten-row box, one per line Hundreds of rooms, after closing the room, the silence in the large examination room was extremely high.
Each compartment is completely closed, with a light-transmitting window, and the servants deliver meals and take the toilet. Candidates will spend three days in this room.
In the warehouse, everyone dragged the sleeping servants to the corner, and put the servant clothes on the outside of the official uniform. Li Jinglong whispered: "Start."
After hiding in the water tank, the carp demon began to divide the powder, and everyone separated and left.
Hongjun lowered his head and walked along the corridor quickly, passing a compartment, glancing sideways, looking for Qiu Yongsi's previous marks-cuffs, robe and other places. Whenever one is found, another mark is gently engraved on the door frame with a flying knife.
Artest also lowered his head, passing each door, pretending to look inwardly.
"Hey."
Artest was discovered by the examiner as he passed the corridor.
The examiner beckoned: "Come here."
Artest walked over, and the examiner was about to ask how a servant looked away from the examinee's room, but there was a hand behind him, pulling his robe corner.
Examiner: "?"
The examiner was about to look back, and the carp demon suddenly raised his hand and shook it out of the pollen.
"Get rich at first sight--"
The examiner sneezes, and Artest immediately turns around, disappearing like a gust of wind, and the carp demon digs into the corner and runs away.
Examiner: "?"
"Stop! Why haven't I seen you ..." Another guard stopped Qiu Yongsi.
"Goodbye, there is joy!" The carp demon was another scatter. The guard sneezed and his face was confused. Qiu Yongsi and the carp demon separated from each other.
Hong Jun passed by a box and glanced inwards and suddenly saw Du Hanqing.
After Du Hanqing sat in the case, Hong Jun hesitated for a moment and passed the box.
Li Jinglong silently turned out from behind the gallery, frowning deeply, staring at Hongjun's back. Whichever material Hongjun turned back, Li Jinglong immediately flashed back in the gallery.
I saw Hongjun holding a flying knife, hesitated for a moment, and finally carved a mark with cruelty, his eyes were red, and he decided to leave.
Mo Zhigen came hurriedly after a moment, looked down at the mark outside the room door, and glanced into the room again, relieved, touched the mark with his hand, deepened it, and turned away.
Li Jinglong: "..."
When Li Jinglong was about to leave, Artest came again. Similarly, he specially inspected Du Hanqing's door; Qiu Yongsi was next.
When Qiu Yongsi turned around the corridor, he almost ran into Li Jinglong, and he was very nervous.
"Yo, long history?" Qiu Yongsi smiled.
"It seems that I'm worried about nothing." Li Jinglong said coldly, "You all protect Hongjun."
Qiu Yongsi said with a smile: "I'm just afraid that I'll lose my work. Long history, everyone at the critical moment, are not always on your side." Said Bi Pat on Li Jinglong's shoulder.
After all the doors are marked, everyone goes outside the warehouse to log.
"Two hundred and sixty-six rooms." Li Jinglong said, "Let's go, wait for the bell."
Hong Jun was silent, and no one spoke. The atmosphere was a little weird. In the past, Li Jinglong pressed Hongjun's shoulder and said, "This case is done well, and everyone will go out to play. You said, where do you want to go?"
"Really?" Hong Jun surprised, seeming to be happy.
Li Jinglong's mouth twitched, thinking of your compassion ...
"Pingkang Li!" Qiu Yongsi said immediately.
Li Jinglong: "..."
"Pingkang Li." Artest said with a smile.
Hong Jun said, "Is Pingkangli OK? I haven't really been there ... Of course, if you don't like Chang Shi ..."
Mo Zhigen said: "Then Ping Kang Li has no choice but to stay overnight. It's always okay to watch dancing and listen to songs? Ping Kang Li isn't all ... er, that kind of place."
"Even you want to go?" Li Jinglong couldn't understand what these subordinates had in their heads.
Mo Zhigen said: "I, um, my first time, I will leave it to Bai ... forget it, I will talk about it later, but it is always possible to drink and listen to songs."
The carp demon said: "Is Pingkangli OK? I want to see the picture."
"Then Ping Kang Li!" Qiu Yongsi clapped.
"Good--!" Everyone cheered, most of them overwhelming the only one, Li Jinglong held his forehead. At this moment the bell "Dang-Dangdang-" sounded, everyone immediately got up and went to prepare.
The second round of the bell sounded, and the examiner held the paper in his hand and walked quickly through the compartment. After each room, the exam paper was stuffed in from the window. After taking off, he hurriedly walked to the next room.
The sun was shining, Hong Jun sweated, and someone outside said, "Water!"
The people mixed in the servants, went out with a basket of water urns, and kept their heads down, the guards searched the basket and the water urns, and the men went to each to send water. The medicine powder was added to the urn outside the marked door, and he turned to take the water poured in by the guards. After it was full, he handed it into the window and the candidates took it.
There are five rows and five rows, and there are nearly a hundred rooms in the ten rows. After a round of delivery, everyone was tired and sweating. When he returned to the storeroom, Li Jinglong watched the time, and said: "Withdraw!"
Several people went over the wall and went to the street opposite the examination room, peeping in the direction of the examination room, all uneasy. It's been a long time since I was tossing it down, and it was a little cooler in the autumn afternoon. Hong Jun was only afraid that they would not drink water, or that the amount of medicine was not enough. Now that he wanted to come, Li Jinglong kept giving more medicines, but it was still very prescient.
Li Jinglong waited patiently for a while, took a deep breath, and seemed a little nervous. Not long afterwards, there was a sound of horse-drawn carriages on the street, and several vehicles came. It was Gao Lishi and the court officials of the patrol.
Li Jinglong waited for this moment and immediately said, "Let's act."
Hong Jun said: "Wait, I'm always a little afraid, they shouldn't go so fast, wait any longer?"
Li Jinglong replied: "Your medicine has been tested with the water the servants drank, and the dose is enough."
Hong Jun: "I'm afraid they won't drink."
Li Jinglong: "In the morning, I asked Mo Zhigen to go to Guozijian, and added nearly 40% of the salt to the entire Guozijian's breakfast, just in case."
Everyone except Mo Rigen was dumbfounded for a moment, and Qiu Yongsi immediately said: "Long history, from today, the small one will follow you!"
Artest can't believe it: "Who is this!"
Li Jinglong said modestly: "I laughed, I'll be more serious later, let's go!"
He said that Li Jinglong took off his robe, showing a dark blue official uniform, wearing a wisdom sword on his waist, wearing the official uniform of the Emperor Zici, and his straight figure, and others followed suit. .
