Li Yuanfang and Wang Yue brought dozens of elite brocade guards to hide around the Tao Mansion to respond, and they didn't know what was going on inside, so they could only wait patiently.

While he was speculating, he suddenly saw two tall figures striding towards him. When he got closer, Li Yuanfang was surprised to find that it was Li Bai who said goodbye and Zhang Zhongjian, who had changed his clothes, who walked together.

"It's Brother Taibai, why did you appear in Tao Mansion?"

Li Yuanfang was surprised, and just when he blurted out a sentence, he came to his senses at the same time.

When drinking that day, Li Bai said that he would make a great achievement in exchange for the position of Shangshu, and also said that he would let him give him the task of assassinating Tao Qian, I thought it was just a joke after drinking, but I didn't expect this drunken guy to take it seriously!

Zhang Zhongjian lowered his voice and whispered: "Tao Qian is dead, everyone retreats quickly, I'm afraid that the Tao Mansion will blow up in a while, and it is inevitable to search the city, so I have to find a way to get out of the city!" ”

Li Bai added: "Yuan Fang, Tao Qian is indeed dead, and I have half the credit for this fake monk." When I return to Jinling, you have to ask the Son of Heaven for me! ”

Lest Li Yuanfang not believe it, he looked at Zhang Zhongjian and said: "The eldest husband must not go back on his word!" Great monk, do you say yes or no? ”

Although it was Zhang Zhongjian's credit to kill Tao Qian alone, without Li Bai's help, it was really unknown whether Zhang Zhongjian would be able to escape with his whole body. In this regard, Zhang Zhongjian knew that he owed Li Baida a lot of affection. Moreover, Tao Qian is dead, and his promise to Emperor Jinling has been fulfilled, and he does not ask for a reward, so what if he gives great credit to this person?

"Not bad. Killing Tao Qian is the power of my alliance with Brother Taihei, and Brother Taihei's credit is even better! Zhang Zhongjian bowed. affirmed Li Bai's statement.

"Too dark?" Li Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly. "It's really black and white!"

Li Bai said seriously: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, I am afraid that the Xuzhou army will search the city after a while, and I will leave the city as soon as possible!" ”

"The city gate has long been closed, how can I get out of the city?"

Since Zhang Zhongjian withdrew from the Tao Mansion unharmed, and the task assigned by the emperor had been completed, Li Yuanfang was not in a hurry to get out of the city.

Li Bai took out a token from his waist: "Brother Fool has already calculated the way to retreat, and took a waist card from Tao Qian's mansion that can go out of the city." The Tao Mansion knows me and the great monk, and I can't stay in Picheng for a moment, so I should get out of the city as soon as possible! ”

After a brief exchange between Li Yuanfang and Wang Yue. Wang Yue led the crowd to disperse and left, and each went back to the post house to stay. Anyway, they all have their own identities, peddlers, pawns, charlatans, jugglers, and they have been in Xiapi City for five or six days, and they are not bad to go out of the city this night.

And Li Yuanfang, Li Bai, and Zhang Zhongjian hurried to the south gate of Xiapi, and used the waist card to open the city gate and leave Xiapi City.

After walking for three or five miles, you can see the torches in Xiapi City gradually brightening. The voices began to boil, and the sound of the uniform footsteps of the soldiers shook the earth, obviously the news of Tao Qian's death had spread, and the Xuzhou army was searching for it all over the city.

The three of them quickened their pace. Running all the way, he gradually left Xiapi for more than ten miles and came to a small village. There are Jinyi guards who answered, as well as horses hidden in a farmhouse when Li Yuanfang and others came.

"Brother Zhang's assassination plan was seamless. Come and go with ease and effortlessly. Yuan Fang's admired five-body throw! With such a great talent, His Majesty will definitely be important. How about Brother Tai go back to Jinling with me? ”

Li Yuanfang took out three horses from the farmhouse and handed them to Zhang Zhongjian and Li Bai respectively, and at the same time sent an invitation to Zhang Zhongjian, hoping that he could follow him back to Jinling.

Zhang Zhongjian took the reins and thanked him, and arched his hand: "A certain and the Son of Heaven have a word first, after the thorn pottery, let me come and go!" A certain seeker is not a marquis to worship the general, but to travel all over the world, brother Tai don't want to persuade again, don't pass by! ”

When the words fell, Zhang Zhongjian turned on his horse and whipped away.

In the vast night, the horse spread its hooves, kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, and gradually disappeared.

"This person is arrogant, both civil and military, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool!" Li Yuanfang watched Zhang Zhongjian go away and let out a sigh.

Li Bai was envious: "What a free and easy ranger, it really makes Bai admire!" This kind of demeanor is really what Bai yearns for! The foolish brother is no longer an official, I want to catch up with this person and travel the world with him! ”

Li Bai turned over and got on the horse as he spoke, and was about to chase Zhang Zhongjian and roam the world with him.

Li Yuanfang hurriedly grabbed Li Bai's horse reins: "Li Taibai, don't make trouble!" You have just made a great achievement, and I can just ask you for a reward in front of the Son of Heaven, if this matter fades away later, it will not be so easy for you to become an official again! ”

Li Bai looked at Zhang Zhongjian gradually moving away, and couldn't help but feel full of regret, so he took Li Yuanfang's words: "Then do you say that the Son of Heaven can seal the position of foolish brother Shangshu?" If not, I'll turn around and leave! ”

"It is indeed a great achievement for my brother to assist Zhang Zhongjian in assassinating Tao Qian, but this matter can only be secretly rewarded, not explicitly sealed; And even if it can be placed on the bright side, this merit can't be a scholar, and it is estimated that His Majesty can make you a scholar from the fourth grade. Li Yuanfang patiently explained the rules of officialdom to Li Bai.

Li Baitou shook like a rattle: "Just let the foolish brother be a four-grade Langzhong?" Forget it, forget it, I'm not going, I'd better go after Brother Zhang and travel the world with him! ”

Li Yuanfang pulled the horse and refused to let go, coaxing Li Bai and said: "Brother Taibai should be willful, don't go to the school to teach and educate people with your knowledge, and carry forward the poetry and songs, it is really tyrannical!" If you follow me to the capital, maybe Your Majesty will really give you a book. ”

"Okay, then take a trip to Jinling to have a look!" Only then did Li Bai agree to Li Yuanfang's pleading, "If the Son of Heaven doesn't give me a book to do, the foolish brother will turn around and leave, don't blame me for not giving the Son of Heaven face!" ”

At that moment, the two brothers rode their horses and whipped their horses and hurried to Jinling overnight.

Along the way, Li Yuanfang spat a lot, and advised Li Bai not to be too willful, he should be satisfied if he can ask for a position in Langzhong from the fourth grade, and don't try to ascend to the sky in one step. But Li Bai insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and he was not a scholar.

It was only 400 miles from Xiapi to Jinling, and the next morning, Erli crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jinling City.

Then went straight to Qianyang Palace, under the leadership of Li Yuanfang, rushed to the Taiji Hall unimpeded, met the Son of Heaven, and heard this shocking news.

At this moment, he was still in the early dynasty, Zheng He saw Li Yuanfang from a distance in the main hall, and immediately whispered to the Son of Heaven.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the early dynasty is gone, I have something important!"

Seeing that Li Yuanfang was back, Liu Wei knew that the result of the assassination of Tao Qian had come out, whether it was life or death, Li Yuanfang would definitely give himself an explanation.

In the shouts of civil and military officials, Liu Wei went straight to Hanyuan Palace.

Li Yuanfang didn't care about greeting the hundred officials, and took Li Bai straight to the imperial study to pay homage to Shi Shi together.

Although Li Bai is as arrogant as You Heng, he still knows what to do without drinking, and he didn't make any trouble when he met the Son of Heaven for the first time, so he followed Li Yuanfang to pay homage together.

After Li Yuanfang reported the news of Zhang Zhongjian and Li Bai's successful assassination of Tao Qian, Liu Wei was overjoyed and applauded: "Great, Tao Qian, the old horseman, is finally dead!" Xuzhou is at my fingertips, I will drive the expedition and land in Xuzhou! ”

After a pause, he said, "Wait...... Who did you say Zhang Zhongjian and assassinated Tao Qian just now? ”

"Back to His Majesty, the person the minister said was Li Bai, the word is too white, and he is also a friend of the minister's clan. It's the man next to me! Li Yuanfang bowed down and solemnly introduced Li Bai to the Son of Heaven.

"Commoner Li Bai, this is polite!"

Although Li Bai is a little more honest, the arrogance in his bones is still there.

"As expected, the poet who was exposed by Li Jing that day was indeed the poet immortal Li Bai!"

Liu Wei groaned in his heart while quietly looking at Li Bai.

I saw that the most prestigious poet in history was dressed as a ranger at the moment, tall and dignified, but he was too arrogant, although he deliberately hid it, he couldn't hide the arrogance in his bones.

However, as a traverser, Liu Wei also knows what virtues Li Bai has!

Gao Lishi, who can write "The Son of Heaven can't get on the boat when he calls", can make the mighty court, and even Prime Minister Yang Guozhong have to take off his shoes, and Li Taibai, who can go crazy to the water to catch the moon, is not normal if he doesn't do something out of the ordinary!

In some ways, Li Bai and You Heng belong to the same type, the difference is that Li Baijiu will only get drunk and crazy, while You Heng doesn't care if he wakes up drunk, who he catches and scolds, and the Weibo fans who are left before he crosses over are definitely more concerned than the national husband.

"Your Majesty, my brother is not only excellent at swordsmanship, but also full of talent, and can export poetry. Since the school is the time to employ people, the minister hereby recommends Brother Taibai to serve in the school! Li Yuanfang struck while the iron was hot, and he did not avoid relatives.

Li Bai naturally didn't need to be introduced by Li Yuanfang to how much ability he had, and knowing that this person was Li Bai, Liu Wei was very happy in his heart, even happier than winning a general!

A dynasty that goes down in history should not only be militarily strong, politically clear, economically prosperous, and scientifically and technologically prosperous, but also culturally prosperous, and the emergence of Li Bai is not under Yue Fei for the creation of a prosperous cultural era, and its role is not under Yue Fei, so it must be used well!

"Okay, since Li Taibai has made such a great contribution, and Yuan Fang strongly recommends it, I will appoint you as the squire of the school, what do you think?" Liu Wei looked at Li Bai with a smile and proposed his reward.

The facts are true, Li Bai had a meritorious role in assassinating Tao Qian, and he also brought Zhang Zhongjian out of Xuzhou City unharmed, which is very likely to allow him to cross east to Goguryeo and create trouble for Li Yuan's father and son. But these exploits are the best to break the sky, that is, to be able to seal a Lang from the fourth grade, Liu Wei took into account that Li Bai was proud of his talents, and his official position was too small to look down on, so he planned to reward a squire from the third grade, anyway, the school is a quiet yamen, which will not cause too much criticism and incur the disgust of the minister.

And Li Bai obviously didn't appreciate it, and arched his hand: "Back to the words of the Son of Heaven, Bai's ambition in life is 'rather the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix'!" Please forgive the common people for their courage, non-school books are not scholars! (To be continued......)
