Li Su is in awe of religion, because this kind of people are very paranoid and can directly connect with ghosts and gods, so this kind of people are not easy to mess with, no one knows what kind of temper the ghost boss behind them is, what if they offend and be struck by lightning?

In addition, Li Su's understanding of religion may still be a bit narrow, and his view of the monks and Taoists is still stuck in chanting, alchemy, ascension, and ...... Batch eight characters, count the flow of years, measure words, look at marriage, career, wealth and heirs, and so on.

The last few things are the most attractive and down-to-earth, as for whether these things should be done by monks or Taoist priests.

Xuanzang's face was ugly, and a string of sandalwood prayer beads in his hand turned like a hot wheel, and the respected master seemed to be ...... Guilty of resentment?

"Poor monks don't count the passing years!" Xuanzang snorted heavily.

"Where's the batch of eight characters?" Li Su asked without giving up.

"Nor will it!"

"Marriage and career prospects...... You're a master, there's always something to do, right? ”

"Poor Monk...... No! Xuanzang's face was a little red, Li Su felt that he might be ashamed, monk, the more virtuous and respectful, the stronger the shame, after all, after all the hard work of running to Tianzhu will not even approve the eight characters, if Li Su is him, he may also blush.

When I first met Sun Simiao, the old Taoist priest was like this, he couldn't pick locks, couldn't penetrate walls, and couldn't do light work...... I'm so disappointed, this won't be that won't, what's wrong with the monks and Taoists in this world?

Seeing that Xuanzang's face was blushing and his body was trembling faintly, Li Su was afraid of embarrassing him to death, so he decisively changed the topic.

"Alright Master, let's not talk about that."

Xuanzang let out a long breath, showing a relieved expression, he was obviously not interested in the topic just now.

"In the past few days, the poor monks and the Tang Dynasty soldiers have heard some of the deeds of Li Xianzi, who led thousands of soldiers to defend Xizhou City. After making great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, after returning to Chang'an, Li County's future is unlimited, and the poor monk congratulates the county first. Xuanzang said with a smile.

"The master's false praise, some meager credit, in fact, are all piled up by the lives of the soldiers. As far as I'm concerned, if I can get more soldiers to live, I'd rather not have these credits. ”

Xuanzang whispered a Buddha horn and said: "Si Yan is good, Li Xianzi upholds benevolence, great merit, greater merit, poor monk Li Xianzi is extraordinary, and his face is wide and wide." It is the appearance of a nobleman, if you can accumulate more virtue and do good, you will have good fortune. ”

Li Su blinked: "Can the master see that I have the appearance of a nobleman?" ”

Xuanzang said with a smile: "Look at the complexion first, Li Xianzi has an extraordinary complexion, a handsome face, and he is a nobleman." ”

Li Su said angrily: "It turns out that the master is just modest, fast, help me count the years......"

****************************************************************

It has been more than a month since I left Xizhou. The team walked neither fast nor slow, and finally arrived in Shazhou after half a month.

In Shazhou, there was a brief replenishment of grain, grass and fresh water. After changing a batch of camels and horses, Li Su ordered a three-day rest in Shazhou, and after three days, the team set off again to the east, heading in the direction of Yumen Pass.

It's still boring all the way, and it's still relieved all the way. With plenty of food and water, as well as expectations and hopes for the rest of their lives, everyone wandered away under the scorching sun.

In this era of inconvenient transportation, the journey from west to east often takes half a year of life.

More than a month later. The team finally arrived at Yumen Pass.

The terminal of Tian Renhui and Yumen Pass soldiers is here, although the title of "Guanglu Doctor" is added, but Tian Renhui's actual position is still Yumen Pass guard.

When the sunset is about to set, the Yumen Pass is far away, the soldiers of the three armies cheer and cheer, cheer up and speed up the journey, and at the moment when the last light of the sunset disappears on the horizon, the team finally enters the Yumen Pass.

That night, Tian Ren would hold a banquet in Yumen Pass to entertain Li Sucheng, and all the soldiers took off their tiredness and wind and sand, drank and ate meat happily by the bonfire, and hugged each other and cried where they forgot their shapes.

After a long period of fighting side by side and walking on the same road, the soldiers of Yumen Pass and Chengjiazhuang and the right Wuwei cavalry battalion have formed a deep friendship, after tonight, everyone will go their separate ways, if there is no accident, there will be no goodbye in life, the next journey of life, change with others.

Drinking, singing, crying, intoxicating. On the night of the Yumen Pass, the soldiers finally fell asleep after venting in such an atmosphere.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, covered in mist and glow, when the team hit the road again, there were only nearly 1,000 veterans of Chengjia Zhuangzi and more than 100 cavalry battalion soldiers left.

…………

Entering the Yumen Pass is regarded as truly entering the Tang Dynasty, and the place within the Yumen Pass is where the spring breeze can blow, and every inch of land is deeply rooted in the name of the Li family.

After entering the customs, the number of people encountered gradually increased, which was diametrically opposed to the scene of thousands of miles of people in the Western Regions.

The dress of the Han people in the Central Plains, with a bun on their heads, carrying a burden or carrying a bamboo basket on their backs, the breeze gently sends bursts of wheat fragrance, mixed with a trace of familiar long-lost cooking smoke, Yumen Pass seems to have become a long dividing line, the nomadism outside the pass, the farming inside the pass, the two are clearly divided.

After entering the customs, Li Su and the others were obviously in a much more uplifted mood, and there were different scenery everywhere on the road, unlike the desert outside the customs, where everywhere they went was a white piece of dust.

Wang Zhu has been the most excited since he entered the customs, and the relationship with Fang Lao Wu has been good these days, the two of them rode together, Wang Zhu was even able to have a few words with Fang Lao Wu in a straight and round Qin dialect, and his hoarse and ugly voice frightened people and animals to retreat, and they were sad.

"It's about a month to get to Chang'an, haha! Finally home, this place is like a place to stay. After shouting two sentences in Qin dialect, Wang Zhu wiped his face vigorously and laughed.

Li Su frowned, and moved the horse away from him, the noise was too loud, and Li Su was quiet.

"When I get home, there will be a reward document from the military department, right?" Wang Zhu looked at him expectantly, many people were rewarded in the holy decree last time, but the merits of a small person like Wang Zhuan were not mentioned in the holy decree, and he only said a sentence of "on merit and reward" and explained the past, so Wang Zhu was unfortunately classified into the category of "etc.", and he could only return to Chang'an and wait for the military department to determine the size of the reward after the merit was cut.

"That's right. After going back, wait patiently for a while, the imperial court will give you an explanation of your achievements in Xizhou. ”

Wang Zhu rubbed his hands excitedly: "What can you seal?" If Your Majesty is a dragon's heart, and your fingers are loosened, maybe you will seal me a county viscount or something......"

Li Su glanced at him and said lightly: "It's better to be a practical person." I'm afraid it's unlikely to be knighted, if you count on those guys in the Ministry of War to give you nuclear military merits, it should be almost the same as letting you be a team, so you can't count on them, you almost took your life in Xizhou, and you were injured in no less than 20 places, and you paid such a big price, it's not a 'team leader' who can explain it. ”

Wang Zhu became more and more excited: "Can you still be a higher official?" ”

Li Su smiled: "Return to Chang'an." Your Majesty will inevitably summon me to meet you, and after I report on my work in front of Your Majesty, I will take you and Zheng Xiaolou with me, it shouldn't be a big problem to ensure that you are a captain, and if you can manage seven or eight hundred people, you can be regarded as an official. ”

Wang Zhu's eyes widened, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times "haha", and then began to raise his throat......

"Get out of the way before the ghost cries wolf!" Li Su unceremoniously broke his work.

Wang Zhuan was in a bright mood. He ran to the front of the line and began to howl.

"I don't want to be an official, don't mention me in front of Your Majesty." Zheng Xiaolou was cool and authentic next to him.

Li Su turned his head to look at him. There was no surprise on his face, obviously Zheng Xiaolou's answer was what he expected.

"Isn't it good to be an official? Everywhere you go, you are hugging in front of you, going in and out of the car and riding a horse, someone is in front of you to play a ceremonial card and honor guard, not only majestic, but also very attractive peach blossom ......"

Zheng Xiaolou glanced at him coldly. The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a very disdainful look: "Being an official is very majestic, and you can get the awe of the people, but there are higher officials above you, do you also have to be in awe of them?" We met every day. Bend down, salute, say hello, and maybe endure a few words of reprimand that are not very incisive, is it interesting to be such an official? ”

Li Su's expression was stunned, he didn't expect the taciturn Zheng Xiaolou to have such a profound thought, and he broke the true face of officialdom with one word.

"Actually, you don't like being an official, do you? Your temperament is so lazy, in fact, you and I are all the way, you should be a ranger, and life is happy and revenge. ”

Li Su looked up and saw Zheng Xiaolou's magnified face, and his eyes were full of inquiry.

"Face away! Don't get so close to me! Also, I don't want to deal with you, you don't know how to talk. Li Su pushed Zheng Xiaolou's face away in disgust.

…………

…………

On the twenty-fifth day of June in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Su and Cheng Chumo led Chengjiazhuang and the cavalry battalion to Chang'an.

The majestic and majestic city wall is in sight, the eyes of Li Suxu Mingzhu Wang Zhu and others are suddenly red, everyone stands on the high Longshou Plain and is silent for a long time, away from the hometown for a thousand days, close to the hometown is timid, when he left the fresh clothes and angry horses, the young man, and now he is back full of dust, the rest of his life, obviously only left for three years, but it seems to be a lifetime.

The holy decree requires Li Su to enter the palace immediately after arriving in Chang'an, Li Su can only hold back the feeling of returning to his heart like an arrow and walk towards Chang'an City first, Xu Mingzhu intimately put on a new and clean court dress for him, and Wang Zhu, Jiang Quan, Cheng Chumo and others accompanied him into the city gate.

Outside the Yanping Gate in the West City of Chang'an, Li Su got off the horse, handed the waist card and the letter to the general guarding the door, the general looked at Li Su in surprise after checking, and then turned his head sideways and whispered a command to a sergeant behind him, the sergeant nodded and took the order, and rushed towards the direction of Taiji Palace alone.

Li Su, Jiang Quan and the others were confused, and the general guarding the city gate did not explain, but only saluted everyone respectfully with their fists.

Cheng Chumo had arranged for the veterans of Cheng's Zhuangzi to go home first, and Li Su and others only led more than 100 people from the cavalry battalion into the city.

Chang'an City is still as prosperous as usual, Li Su and the others walked very slowly, everyone was full of cheerful smiles on their faces, looking at the traders and people who kept shuttling back and forth, hearing rough shouting along the road, and even the original Guanzhong scolding street, the smile on Li Su's face became deeper and deeper.

Unconsciously, he has developed a deep love for this land, he has long integrated into this world, and regards this place as his real home, and all the things in his previous life seem to be just a dream he had, he is really born in Si and grew up in the Tang Dynasty.

Leading the horse into the city, walking through the West Market, in the crowded crowd, Li Su and Jiang Quan walked leisurely and comfortably in the direction of Taiji Palace, and Li Su even stopped several times. bought a gilded jasper hairpin for Xu Mingzhu in the roadside shop, and inserted it in Xu Mingzhu's sideburns in front of everyone.

Passing through the gate of Xishifang, when I was about to reach Yanshoufang in front, I suddenly heard a gong in front of me. A team of gold-armored winged helmets, with two long white eagle feathers sticking straight into their hats, dressed in gorgeous cavalry, came from afar, and the common people and merchants on the road bowed down and retreated.

It was close, and Li Su and the others also recognized it, this was the Yulin Wei of Taiji Palace, the real emperor's personal guard of honor and guard, the first person wearing a purple palace dress, but a middle-aged eunuch.

In the city of Chang'an. Yu Linwei's gang is the boss, they represent the emperor's honor guard, and they will not leave the palace easily.

Li Su exchanged glances with everyone, and everyone invariably moved away from the side of the avenue, letting this group of Yulin Guard Forbidden Army pass first.

Who knew that when Yu Linwei and the eunuch were ten zhang away from Li Su, they suddenly dismounted at the same time. The eunuch walked towards Li Su.

Li Su was stunned, looking a little stunned. It wasn't until the eunuch walked up to Li Su with a deferential smile that he came back to his senses.

"Jingyang County, General Dingyuan, don't drive Li Su in Xizhou to receive the order-" The eunuch's voice was sharp, but he was full of neutrality, and the pedestrians and people in the vicinity could hear it clearly.

Facing the surprised eyes of the ordinary people and traders in the downtown area. Li Su straightened his clothes and bowed to the eunuch. As Li Su bowed, all the subjects, people, and traders around him knelt down in front of the eunuchs.

"Minister, Li Su took the order."

The eunuch said slowly: "Passing on Your Majesty's decree, Li Suyuan, the prince of Jingyang County, is far away from the Western Regions. Keding Xizhou, Gong Bi opened the territory, and gave Li Su Chang'an City to ride a horse, awarded a jade crown and a jade belt. ”

Li Su was startled for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Minister Xie Longen." ”

Soon, the two Yulin Guards stepped forward and took off Li Su's original official hat and the brocade belt around his waist, and replaced Li Su with a beam crown inlaid with jade, crowned with three vertical lines, representing Li Su's official rank, and a jade belt inlaid with more than 200 pieces of jade was also tied around his waist, matching his crimson official uniform, which looked more and more handsome.

Jiang Quan, Wang Zhu, Cheng Chumo and others were so envious that their eyes were red, and they instantly turned into a group of rabbits, looking at Li Su with red eyes.

Xu Mingzhu stood quietly behind Li Su, her face flushed with excitement, her little fists clenched tightly, and she seemed to vent her joy in a silent way.

After hearing the eunuch's will, the people around the downtown area understood that the young man in the official robe and the group of wounded and disabled men behind him were actually the Tang Dynasty soldiers who were guarding Xizhou and had survived a hundred battles.

"The general works hard, Datang wins!"

The deafening sound of congratulations echoed endlessly, and the hustle and bustle of Chang'an was momentary silent for a young general at this moment.

Li Su's eyes turned red, he exhaled a long breath, and silently returned a salute to the people.

The eunuch was still smiling, and smiled at Li Su: "Please Li Xianzi get on the horse, Your Majesty will allow Li Xianzi to ride a horse in Chang'an City in the future." ”

Li Su hesitated for a moment, but still stepped on the horse and accepted the salute of the people.

In Li Shimin's will, Chang'an City horseback, awarded jade crowns and jade belts, etc., although it seems to be an inconspicuous reward, there is no practical use, but it is a very high glory, this kind of glory has been before, generally rewarded to the famous generals of the dynasty who returned from the great victory, and it is not a great achievement to open up the territory and level the world, and the reward for a small county is the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a generous gift.

Li Su was a little excited, looking at Jiang Quancheng's envious gaze, as well as Xu Mingzhu's excited and red expression of admiration, as well as the respectful salute of the people and traders around him, after taking a long breath, there was a pride in his heart.

With this holy decree, the next road to the Taiji Palace was much smoother, Li Su rode alone in front, followed by Jiang Quancheng and the cavalry soldiers, and then followed by the escort of the Hundred Cavalry Yulin Guard, the team marched towards the Taiji Palace, and on the road, no matter the officials and the people saw it, they all saluted respectfully and retreated.

Passing through the West Market, passing through Yanshoufang, Taipingfang, when the team crossed the gate of Taipingfang, only two or three miles away from Taiji Palace, a team of Yulinwei hurriedly ran in front of it, as usual, Yulinwei was a eunuch in front of the forbidden army.

This time, Li Su had a plan in his heart, so he hurriedly dismounted and greeted the eunuch.

The eunuch walked up to Li Su and said loudly with a sharp voice: "Li Su, the son of Jingyang County, receives the order-"

Li Su bowed down first, and the surrounding people also bowed.

"Passing on His Majesty's decree, Li Su, the son of Jingyang County, fought in Xiyi, defended Xizhou, and the merit was in Sheji, the young heroes had great ambitions, and the loyalty was commendable, and he was given a goldfish bag, and he was rewarded with Taichang Temple's 'King Qin Breaking Array Music and Dance'."

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Minister Xie Longen." ”

Soon, two forbidden soldiers stepped forward, took off the silverfish bag from his waist, and respectfully replaced him with a goldfish bag.

After changing, Li Su got up, looked up, and found that there were a sea of people outside the gate of Taipingfang, surrounded by thousands of people and traders, and in a small open space in the middle of the door, I don't know when a high platform was erected, on the high platform, more than 20 dancers wearing armor and holding swords and shields, one by one were extremely pretty and white, but they were wearing men's armor and wing helmets.

"The four seas are the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years; Rong Yi is not even more weary, and it will be successful today. …… The Lord is holy and opens, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou; After you look at the Yange, it is the Taiping Autumn. ”

Behind the high platform, a group of equally beautiful kabuki sang in unison, with the magnificent and passionate singing music, the maiko on the stage danced in unison, the sword and shield were sometimes arrayed, sometimes attacked, and a group of beautiful women actually danced out of the battlefield Jinge killing momentum.

Li Su stood alone under the high platform, and Jiang Quancheng and the people were two feet away from him, causing Li Su to be empty within a radius of two zhang, and even the eunuchs who announced the decree quietly retreated to the side.

This moment, this dance, is the glory that belongs to Li Su alone!

Li Su looked at the singing and dancing on the stage, his excitement gradually calmed down, and two holy decrees of reward were given one after another, and at this moment, Li Su gradually chewed the taste.

When he was in Xizhou, Li Shimin's holy decree rewarded everyone, but Li Su was omitted, not deliberately ignored, but Li Shimin wanted to give him a glory and dignity under the attention of the public.

Li Su believed that before he stepped into the gate of Taiji Palace, there must be a reward for the Holy Purpose waiting for him.
