Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 619
[I have a jug of wine, which is enough to comfort the wind and dust.Sprinkle the brief history of Qing Dynasty, and get drunk together for four thousand springs. 】

Shangguan Wan'er is well versed in history. She was a historian at the time and also had the title of consultant of "Weighing the World", so she regarded herself very highly.She said "the poetic flavor is inappropriate" and "please try it for me", which is nothing more than to test the literary talents of Xinke scholars.

She thought she was talented and had few rivals, but she didn't expect a sudden change today.When she confidently looked at the poems written by Li Bai, her eyes were full of disbelief.

After a while, she bowed her head and saluted: "The poet fairy is well-deserved, and the lower officials can't match it."

Li Bai waved his hand in anticipation: "It's easy to say, it's admirable that Miss Shangguan is famous all over the world. I'm not here today to compete in poetry. If there is a destiny in the future, I will definitely compete with the girl again."

"Let me ask, Wu Zetian, when you sent your army to the west, did you come out of nowhere?"

"The iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty flattened the Western Regions, and you can see the blood flowing into the purgatory on earth? Do you know how many brilliant civilizations were destroyed? Do you treat the people of other races like grass, like dogs?"

"You have resorted to violence and tyranny. You have failed your ancestors, you have failed the heaven and the earth, you have failed your descendants, and you have failed the people. All kinds of crimes are too numerous to describe! What kind of face do you have to entertain the officials here, and what kind of face do you have to stand majestically on the throne of the emperor!"

"Put less salt, cowpeas don't eat salt, just put a little bit."

"Well, the fire is a little small."

"No, Ah Li, don't fan like this. There won't be enough oxygen, and there will be a lot of smoke."

……

After some guidance, Gongsunli finally made his first dish after coming to the Great Wall, and he invited Baili to taste it with confidence.

However, keeping the promise only tasted a chopstick, and the whole person froze.

"How about it... isn't it delicious?"

Baili kept the promise with a tangled expression, and it took a long time before he said: "A Li, have you learned to cook before?"

"I have learned it!" Gongsunli nodded excitedly: "My... adoptive parents often cook together. I thought at that time that enjoying the fun of cooking with my sweetheart would be a special atmosphere, right? So there has always been Study hard and hope that one day..."

This feeling of nostalgia was too obvious, she knew that Baili kept the promise and understood, so she stopped talking.

"So, do you like to cook?"

"like!"

This really put Baili Shoucheng into a dilemma.On the one hand, he really can't eat this dark food, let alone allow the soldiers of the Great Wall to follow him to eat this dark food. On the other hand, Gongsunli should support him in pursuing his hobbies.

"Then, starting tomorrow, I'll teach you, okay?" After some struggle, Baili Shouyan finally compromised.

"Mmmmmmm!"

--------------

Xiaoming Garden, No. 37 Yongjiafang, Chang'an, is also closed today.

In the courtyard, the three of them looked at each other with only two dishes on the table.

After a while, it was still Pei Qinhu who said first: "Little brother, you eat first! Big brother, go and see if there is still any reserve food that the group of gangsters paid tribute to last time." After speaking, he got up and walked to the guest room.

Yi Xing is still growing up, so he doesn't usually exercise much, but his food intake is almost as high as that of the demon half-breed Pei Qinhu.Ming Shiyin felt even more worried when he looked at the apprentice who was still trying his best to maintain his elegance amidst the turmoil and remnant clouds.

Xiaoming Huayuan earns a lot of money every day, but the rent in Chang'an is also rising day by day.Pei Qinhu's boxing gym has just accepted the first batch of students, and it's not yet time to start making money.It cost a lot of money to redeem things from the pawn shop last month, plus eating takeaways every day... Who can stand this.

In the past when Gongsunli was here, everyone thought her cooking was unpalatable. Now that Gongsunli is gone, the takeaway is delicious, and the word Wang on Pei Qinhu's head has grown, but the deposit seems to be getting less and less... …

I can't afford it.Ming Shiyin sighed in his heart.Is it possible that I really want to go back to my old job and make a living by telling fortunes for those dignitaries?

Pei Qinhu came back after nibbling some pancakes, sat down and started to eat vegetables with a hesitant expression, but he didn't find anything to eat.

Ming Shiyin poked at the rice sadly, and began to think about Yang Yuhuan who was not present now.Yaotian's organization is actually very small, and there are only a few people he can move. It's really impossible. The only way is to let Yaotian's face, Yang Yuhuan, go out to perform...

Too out of line, no.Ming Shiyin shook his head and rejected this idea.

That's just not eating takeaway.He looked at Pei Qinhu's callused hands wielding knives and guns, at Yixing's pale and slender hands playing chess all the year round, and at his seemingly normal hands. If so, the most suitable is...

No, draw lots!
Ming Shiyin resolutely gave up reasoning, he would not cook even if he was killed.

If the lottery is drawn, he, a peony alchemist, has a lot of room to maneuver.

Neither of the two wolf-hungry people buried their heads in the rice, but Ming Shiyin had a tricky smile on his lips.

--------------

Suzaku Street was still full of people, but if you looked closely, you could find that the crowd was all gathered in one place.

On the Feiyan Pagoda, a man in white stood facing the wind with a sword in his hand, and the setting sun turned him into an obscure silhouette.Opposite him, an extremely burly man slowly took a step back, knelt on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "I lost."

The man in white ignored him, turned his head and said loudly: "Is there still a challenger?"

Among the crowd below, Shangguan Wan'er looked up together with everyone.

Li Bai's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on her lightly.

She saw Li Bai tilting his head and raising his eyebrows and smiling, his innocent and pure eyes seemed to be able to speak.She knew that Li Bai was asking her to fight.

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, those who disagree can use force to compete.Wu Zetian didn't know martial arts, so Li Bai set up the "King Killing Terrace" on the top of the Feiyan Pagoda to welcome the masters from all over the Tang Dynasty to fight Wu Zetian instead.

If no one can defeat him, he will take the head of Empress Wu Zetian.

This duel was fought from noon to dusk, countless masters from all walks of life were defeated by Li Bai's sword. This person, one sword, at this time, this place, has become an insurmountable peak in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Is there no one to fight with?" Li Bai said with a smile, "Does that mean there is no one to stop me?"

At this moment, a yellow leaf left the branch of the ginkgo tree in Ganye Temple gently.

Shangguan Wan'er remained silent; Di Renjie was so anxious that he looked for help everywhere; Wu Zetian in Ganye Temple put his palms together and burned a stick of incense.

Ming Shiyin was cutting off a dead leaf; the chess piece fell lightly from Yi Xing's hand; Pei Qinhu put on his cloak with a "swish" sound.

On the Great Wall, Hua Mulan is still watching the sunset; the needle in Su Lie's hand pierces the fabric; Baili Shouyue sprinkles a spoonful of salt into the pot, and Gongsunli sits on a small bench next to him and watches attentively.

Jia Luo was reading a classic book carefully, and Qiao Ying was writing letters on the table.

During the time when a leaf falls, everyone is busy with their own affairs, the world is silent, and the world continues to operate as usual. No one knows whether the fate of Datang and King Continent will be rewritten after this leaf falls.

The ginkgo leaves fell gently to the ground.

A frail old man stepped out of the crowd.Tremblingly, he drew out the sword of others, and tremblingly walked up the Feiyan Pagoda.

Li Bai chuckled: "Old man, are you here to fight me instead of Wu Zetian?"

The old man took a few breaths, nodded and said, "Let's make a move."

The people on the ground only heard the sound of the wind, and in the blink of an eye, the long sword in Li Bai's hand was already on the old man's neck.

"You still haven't admitted defeat?"

"No." The old man panted, "Since the Empress came to the throne, she has reformed government decrees and revised laws. In terms of knowing people and employing people, governing the country and the world, all the kings of the Li and Tang Dynasties are not as good as the Empress. The old man has lived for decades. After going through three dynasties, even though I am a grassroots person, I know the pros and cons..."

"I don't know what the holy queen caused the hero to be angry, but I know that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is inseparable from the holy queen. For my great Tang and Chang'an, I am willing to fight for the holy queen, and I am willing to die for the holy queen!"

The sword in Li Bai's hand trembled slightly, he didn't dare to say it: "Say it again?"

The old man repeated it tremblingly, his tone not weaker than that of the young man.

"A joke." Li Bai put his sword back into its sheath, "What's the point of killing you? What if I don't kill you?"

"If you don't kill me, I won't admit defeat. If I don't admit defeat, you won't be able to kill the Holy Queen."

"Then what if I really kill you?"

A long-suffering and relieved smile appeared on the old man's face: "Kill me alone, and there will be others who come after me. Chang'an has [-] people. Is the hero going to massacre this city of Chang'an for the sake of justice in his heart?"

Suddenly a young man shouted: "Well said!"

"well said!"

All of a sudden, there was a lot of voices and cheers one after another.Li Bai drew his sword again and put it on the old man's neck, the blade was close to the aorta, but he couldn't move forward any more.

Only the two of them knew that Li Bai's sword hand was shaking.

He is just a mortal.There is no teacher from the institution, no secret method of the demon way, no blood of the demon seed, his sword intent is as perfect as it is, and the world calls the talent of heaven, but in fact it is nothing more than a pure and kind heart.

When there is hesitation and wavering in this heart, he is no longer the indestructible sword fairy Li Bai.Fortunately, the world does not know.

If the heart is unstable, the sword will be unstable.

He took two steps back with a pale face, and finally staggered away amidst the passionate shouts of the crowd.

Di Renjie immediately ordered all the palace guards to arrest Li Bai, while he went to Ganye Temple alone.The crowd dispersed, but Shangguan Wan'er was still standing there, holding two calligraphy scrolls in her arms.

Gongsunli's welcome party was scheduled for the third day after she came to the Great Wall.

After careful consideration, she finally decided to stay in the Great Wall Guard Army.On the one hand, she is helpless here, and the guards can provide her with basic living guarantees; on the other hand, she still has tasks to do.

But the mission must be secret, so she has to make up a reason for her arrival.

"I had no parents since I was a child, and was adopted by an old couple. The old couple had a son who was guarding the Great Wall. They treated me as well as their own daughter. They sent me to the school to study, and sent me to the workshop to learn dancing. I've been having a good time." Gongsunli had already thought up his speech, and he didn't even bat an eye when he lied.

"In the early spring of this year, they passed away one after another. After finishing the funeral, I felt that I should inform my 'brother', so I came here to look for him. But when I came here, I found that I usually call him third brother, even his last name is I don’t know anything. There are so many guards on the Great Wall, I don’t know where to find them.”

"So, I want to stay here first. I can do any job, and I hope the guards can take me in temporarily. Once I find my brother, I will definitely leave as soon as possible..."

Gongsunli lowered his head as he spoke, looking very pitiful.Hua Mulan is the one who hates girls the most, so she quickly comforted her, "I'll send them a message to find out about your brother. Don't worry, you can stay in our guard for as long as you want."

Su Lie also agreed: "Helping the common people is also one of the responsibilities of the guards. The Great Wall always welcomes you."

Even Kai nodded.

Seeing Gongsunli's mood gradually warming up, the atmosphere was warm and peaceful, but suddenly a cold voice came from the corner: "I object."

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Baili keeping the contract in surprise, and tears welled up in Gongsunli's eyes.

Baili Shouyue's face was ashen, and his voice was as cold as iron: "What can she do when she stays? Cooking? Which of you dares to eat the food she cooks?"

From an opposing standpoint, that's a really good question.The three judges who were in favor just now turned their heads and sighed. They were all honest people, and they were really afraid that if they answered "I dare" now, they would have to eat the dark dishes made by Gongsunli every day.

After eating the dishes cooked by Baili's promise for so long, the taste is indeed spoiled.

Gongsunli's voice trembled: "I don't cook...I can do other things..."

"Our guard army has no shortage of logistics." Baili Shouyue was merciless, "Besides, you are a girl, and it will be inconvenient to stay in the barracks. There are also villages and towns beside the Great Wall, which can definitely find a place for you to settle down. The guard army does not support idlers. .”

"Observe the promise!" Su Lie scolded in a low voice, "You've gone too far."

"What did I say wrong?" He looked at Gongsunli coldly, "I can stray into the desert with a map, and I don't obey orders. Since the day I saw her in the desert, she has been constantly You're giving me trouble. I don't think the Guards can accept someone like that."

Baili Shouyue has always been the best-tempered and gentlest of them all. No one thought that he would strongly oppose Gongsunli's joining the guard army, showing such obvious resistance.Obviously, he patiently taught Gongsunli how to cook two days ago, but why he suddenly swears at each other today, there must be something hidden in it, but no one knows what it is.

Gongsunli's eyes were already full of tears, but he was extremely stubborn. He looked up at him and said, "Then I don't need to do logistics. Don't you have any shortage of soldiers who go to battle to kill the enemy?"

Baili Shouyue looked her up and down, then turned to Hua Mulan and asked, "Captain, if you want her to stay, have you thought about what you want her to do?"

Hua Mulan raised her head and said, "I originally wanted her to learn how to cook from you..."

Shou promise interrupted her: "I object. She has no talent, she can't learn."

Gongsunli's tears finally fell down.

Su Lie said in a deep voice: "Observe the promise, our guard army is an army composed of common people. We don't have any privileges. Even if we refuse others to join, we need a reason. You need to convince people with reason. Remember this. In addition, what do you want her to do?" , is what the captain and I worry about."

Baili's voice was even colder: "I object. This is my opinion. Captain, general, you don't have to accept it, but I will keep it."

Gongsunli ran out of the main camp crying.Hua Mulan glared at Shouyue, turned around and chased him out.The good and warm atmosphere was completely destroyed, and everyone packed up their things and went back to the camp.
