Xu Fengnian originally wanted to leave here and enter Liangzhou by bypassing Huanghua Pass, but Li Maozhen was not willing to let him go, so he was stalked and abducted into the mansion of the guerrilla general. Even Liu Gongren and others could not escape. There was a big banquet, Li Maozhen called the eldest son Li Houshi, the old captain didn't dare to drink wine to the king of Xinliang, but he was not polite to Liu Gongren, and Li Maozhen, an old wine bug soaked in official wine vats, drank and persuaded him to hide wine They are all very good at it. At first, several young handsome men in the Tuntian Division tried to stay sober in front of the young vassal king, but they soon got drunk and got down. Liu Gongren hit the bowl and sang after being drunk. "Malaysia", a feast ended happily. Li Maozhen herself was too drunk, so Master Li Hou helped Xu Fengnian to send him out of Huanghua Pass. He explained that it was his youngest son, Li Jingfu, who had passed the examination as a scholar at the age of eleven, but this child admired him very much, the king of Beiliang who was the number one man in the world. Xu Fengnian praised him sincerely, Li Jingfu can be regarded as a rare seed of reading in Beiliang.
Li Houshi looks like his father Li Maozhen, but he is not very official. At dusk, this Huanghuaguan Cavalry Captain, who has been the head of the Yin Sui for eight years according to the secret records of Fushuifang, walked with Xu Fengnian on the deserted street. On the road, the figures of the two gradually elongated. Seeing that the King of Beiliang and his father didn't reprimand him for not knowing the rules, the young Li Jingfu tiptoed behind the four of them, looking enviously at Lu Yunchang who was carrying the knife and Wang Sheng who was carrying the box. Master Li Hou hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "My lord, my father really has selfish intentions and wants me to take over Huanghuaguan. My father always said that even if I can inherit the honor of the guerrilla general, it's meaningless. I hope the lord doesn't mind."
Speaking of this, Master Li Hou, who was not good at words, smiled shyly, probably because he didn't know how to continue.
Xu Fengnian smiled lightly and said, "Your father's official addiction is not small, and this banquet is also paving the way for you, so as to leave an impression on Qingliangshan Prince's Mansion, and promotion will always be easier in the future, but you are still too young Look at your father. Before your father entered Guancheng, he made a bet with me. If after meeting you, I think you can take on the important task of guarding Huanghuaguan, then he must be allowed to go to the vanguard and fall into the two camps. Any one of them can serve as an old soldier. To put it this way, your future Lieutenant Ruoshui was bought by your father today in exchange for his life."
Master Li Hou blushed, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered a sentence, "My lord, don't listen to my father, the old man is quite old, and he can ride a horse in ordinary casual clothes. If he wears armor and holds a spear, he can't hold on for a while fragrant."
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Master Li Hou continued: "My lord, the incense of our Li family is quite prosperous. I also have two younger brothers who are members of the army. There is no shortage of people to inherit the family business of Huanghuaguan. I should have come here to share my father's wish." This eldest son will help him complete it."
Xu Fengnian was noncommittal, turned his head, and saw Lu Yunchang hugging the shoulder of the Confucian shirt boy and whispering, probably Lu Yunchang, a sly guy, was showing off his sophistication in the world. Li Jingfu finally waited until the vassal king turned his head, he got short, broke away from Lu Yunchang's hooked shoulders, stepped forward boldly, and was about to speak when Master Li Hou stared at him, "Don't push yourself too hard, go back and read." your book."
The young man's voice trembled slightly, and he said loudly: "For scholars of my generation, it is better to hang your head on the gate of the country than to hang your head on the gate of the country!"
As soon as these words came out, the already deserted streets became more and more silent. Li Houshi was an old man who was used to handling bows and spears but rarely touched pens. Wang Sheng and Lu Yunchang were even more helpless.
Xu Fengnian raised his hand, motioned Master Li Hou to keep quiet, and said with a smile: "The boy is not very young, but his tone is not small. I have seen Huang Longshi, Cao Changqing and Xuanyuan Jingcheng before. These three are Confucian saints among land gods. .”
Hearing this, in just one sentence, three thunderous names appeared. The young Li Jingfu's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at the hero in his heart who was close at hand, thinking that he deserved to be the one who had traveled thousands of miles. The King of Beiliang has seen the world more than anyone else!
Xu Fengnian continued: "But none of them are as ready to swallow mountains and rivers as you."
Master Li Hou couldn't help smiling slightly, but when he saw his young son's pale face, he sighed quietly again.
Xu Fengnian seemed to be talking to himself, "The name of a literati is immortal in history, and the head of a military official hangs over the country. They don't delay each other. If the former can write more good things about the latter when they close their doors to write beautiful articles, it will be very good."
Xu Fengnian looked at Li Jingfu and said, "I'm not kidding you for overestimating your capabilities. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. When I practiced swords, I also had a big ambition in my heart. At that time, no one was optimistic about it. When you think about it, you will realize it." The reason why I told you this is that you are too young, even if you are still too young, even if you go to the border of the battlefield, it is just a drag on others. Besides, Beiliang has 300,000 cavalry that are the most powerful in the world. Get your head off as a young scholar, and read your book carefully."
After finishing speaking, Xu Fengnian told Master Li Hou not to send him any more, and walked straight out of Huanghua Pass with his two apprentices.
Li Jingfu came back to his senses after a long time, pinched his cheeks hard, and said with a smirk: "Did King Liang talk to me?"
Master Li Hou, who always felt that the older a child is, the less he can talk to this young boy, he laughed in a low voice, "Silly boy."
Li Jingfu happily walked towards the Guerrilla General's Mansion, and Li Houshi silently followed behind, looking at his son's still slightly slender frame, a little proud.
Li Jingfu suddenly turned his head and asked, "Father, do you want to drink at Yubi Restaurant?"
Master Li Hou was stunned for a moment, and said: "You can still drink a catty if you drink it."
Li Jingfu grinned and said, "Then I'll treat you to a drink."
Master Li Hou was at a loss.
Li Jingfu blinked, walked up to Master Li Hou, and said quietly: "This year when I went out for a spring outing in the city, I met a girl. Her father is the shopkeeper of Yubi Restaurant. Every time I get tired of studying, I would go there just to look at her." Just a few glances, and without thinking about anything else, I feel refreshed."
Master Li Hou laughed out loud.
The corners of Li Jingfu's mouth curled up slightly, and he said bitterly on purpose: "But that girl is interested in a market ranger who is not in the pass now."
Master Li Hou touched the young son's head, not knowing how to comfort him.
Li Jingfu raised his head and said with a smile: "Father, I want to learn from Zhao Changling and Li Yishan, the two senior military advisers in Northern Liang. When I become talented, I will advise the King of Liang and plan a strategy thousands of miles away."
Master Li Hou hummed.
The father and son walked towards the restaurant two streets away. Master Li Hou said softly: "Since you have a girl you like in your heart and an ambition, your grandfather won't let you drink, but father will allow you to drink."
An hour later, Master Li Hou, the captain of Huanghuaguan, walked out of the restaurant with his drunk young son on his back. The simple man's face was warm.
As he walked, the captain's eyes gradually became firmer, and the seed of reading should be reading, but there is one thing that the vassal king said in his heart, Beiliang's 300,000 cavalry, only everyone including him, Master Li Hou Only when the head is lost is it the common people's turn.
Aren't you Beimang known as a million string control people
Even if Beiliang is captured, how many tens of thousands will be left
The young man on the back murmured drunkenly: "Father, I want to study hard and learn a Confucian sage. I don't care about my own path, but I want to pave a bright road for the people of the world."
Master Li Hou smiled, and said happily: "Speaking drunk is so reasonable, it is indeed better than Dad."
