Tang Dizhihua

Extra Story [-], Li Yi & Wen Zhong

Traveling westward from the bustling Chang'an, you must first pass through Longyou Road.

The road that Master Xuanzang traveled west was also an important thoroughfare for caravans. There was a natural moat connecting the four towns of Anxi and the Central Plains.

That is Qilian Mountain.

The Qilian Mountains have a high terrain, lush water and grass, and produce high-quality war horses, making this place the place of the Four Wars for thousands of years.

"Destroy my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not live. Destroy my Yanzhi Mountain, so that my women will have no color." It is this place that is mentioned.

To the north of Qilian Mountain is the Turkic Jimi Prefecture, and to the south is the brave and warlike Tubo.

For decades, Tubo has annexed the Bailan Qiang and expelled the Tuyuhun tribe. Its power has reached Qilian Mountains. The imperial court has fought against Tubo many times over the years. Unfortunately, when the soldiers from the Central Plains came here, they were often dissatisfied with the environment and their combat power declined. The battle with Tubo was even worse. Win or lose is impermanent.

Because of this, from Ganliang to Yangguan, riots and bandits appeared frequently, and the people in the border areas suffered unspeakably.

For the Central Plains where singing and dancing is peaceful, the story here seems to be very far away.However, in this year, a gentleman named Li Changle came out of nowhere, one person and one horse, and even picked up the eighteen bandit villages in Hexi, which became a new thing in Hexi.

Some people said that he was nine feet long and so powerful that he could cut the enemy in two with a single blow;

"Nine feet long, vicious..." A young man chuckled, and looked teasingly at the boy sitting opposite him.

The young gentleman has a beautiful appearance, with a black forehead embroidered with gold thread tied between his foreheads, shining brightly in the sunlight.His face darkened by two points, he took a bite of the steamed bun stuffed with cooked mutton viciously, and glared at the opposite side.

The young man wanted to touch his beard, but it was in vain, so he stroked his chin and joked with a smile: "I didn't expect Changle's reputation to stop children crying at night."

Li Yi rolled his eyes, but in Xi Wenzhong's eyes, his younger brother's eyes were so lively and interesting.

"Eating can't stop your mouth." Li Yi snorted, dipped the dark flour noodles on the plate in front of him, and took another bite of the bun.

This place is much closer to the four towns of Anxi than the Central Plains. There is a plant called fennel, which the locals call 'cumin'. The ripe fruit of this plant is ground into flour or directly sprinkled on the roasted meat. There will be a kind of special taste.

There is also a spice called pepper because it comes from Hudi. It can be put into the broth to remove the fishy smell, and it also has a peculiar aroma.These spices are rare and expensive in the Central Plains, but they are very common here.

He Wenzhong took advantage of the situation and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the roasted meat on the plate, but Li Yi knocked the chopsticks away.

"Sigh." Hui Wenzhong sighed, "It's tasteless to eat."

Li Yi said expressionlessly: "You are seriously injured, you must eat lightly, especially avoid meat, meat and fishy food."

Fei Wenzhong: "..."

He looked at the porridge and side dishes in front of him, and couldn't help but sighed heavily.

He is really too difficult.

Li Yi looked at his expression, saw his dislike clearly, and snorted: "The seasonal vegetables are rare here, don't be dissatisfied. If you want to feast on it, it's better to heal your injury earlier, and save the trouble of sending the uncle all the way Here comes the medicine."

"Who is the beneficiary of my injury?" Xi Wenzhong said bitterly.

"You still have the face to mention this?" Li Yi's expression darkened, "If you don't repent, you deserve it!"

Hui Wenzhong's face turned pale, and he couldn't help lowering his head and coughing lightly.Li Yi's expression changed, and he finally didn't say any more, and remained silent, which made it seem that the noise on the other tables was getting louder.

"What you said is wrong!" One person said, "That man obviously has a very good appearance. People who have seen him say that he is the darling of Changshengtian, and he is more beautiful than the glow of Daxue Mountain."

"Don't talk nonsense, kid, don't listen to other people's nonsense and use it to brag."

"Don't you believe it!" The man probably drank too much wine and looked a little bit high, wandered around in the lobby, and finally pointed slantingly, "Just like that little gentleman!"

Li Yi looked up and found that almost everyone in the lobby was looking at his table.

He couldn't help but frowned, and saw the buzzing sound of others, many rough and big men unscrupulously commented on the appearance of the two of them, and there were some words that didn't sound so nice.

Yes, two people.Back then, in order to hide his name, he shaved off all of Jin Wenzhong's beard. He was not very old at all, and without his beard, he felt ten years younger.

Later, although he had a mustache again, the beautiful beard on his chin could not grow any longer.

Li Yi rolled his eyes: What kind of beard do you have?Walking together I thought I was my elder, how could I let you take advantage of me.

Li Yi drank a bowl of wine with a sullen face, and suddenly threw something on the table.

Everyone was silent for a moment.It turned out that at some point in his hand he was holding an unattractive weapon, which was wrapped in black cloth and just put it on the ground, because there was a table blocking it, no one noticed it.

Everyone was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing.

One person said: "Why should Xiao Lang scare me? Who here doesn't have a knife yet? You guys are well-known in Hexi Road here. Xiao Lang might as well follow An. From now on, you will be An's man!"

Li Yi snorted coldly, a white light flashed, and everyone blinked, and found that he was still sitting at the table and had already picked up the chopsticks.

The next moment, the person who had uttered foul language suddenly screamed and covered his head.I don't know when, his scarf split into two halves, and the top of his head felt cold.

He looks like the top of a vulture's head now, funny and ridiculous.Hair fell from the head one after another, and everyone was so shocked that they lost their words for a moment.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then he flew into a rage: "Dare you, kid!"

He pulled out the scimitar, only to hear a clear sound, the little man in front of him drew his sword out of its sheath, and in the blink of an eye, the point of the sword pointed directly at the man's neck.

"An San, forget it..." The people next to him hurriedly came over to persuade the fight, Li Yi sheathed his sword, and then the brazen man's legs went limp, and he was already sitting on the ground.

Others don't know, but when he faced this man's sword light, he was completely devastated by the boundless murderous aura.He looked around in a daze, but there was no one who felt the same way as him.

He paused for a moment, then stood up with an extremely ugly expression, and left in a hurry with his tablemates.

This An San is also a prominent figure in this area, he was greatly humiliated in an inn, he was furious, and when he returned to his own territory, he would inevitably send someone to investigate the movements of the two of them.

After hearing that the man was Li Changle, the swordsman whom they were extremely afraid of, he laughed instead, and said: "Everyone knows that Li Changle's elder brother is a sick child, but on weekdays that man protects his elder brother Jinwu like a baby, That's why it's hard to attack. When we lure him away, his elder brother will be slaughtered by us!"

So, when Li Yi went hunting one time, An San, who got the news, led the bandits into their house outside the village.

Then never came out again.

Episode [-], Uncle

Yun Qi received another letter from Li Yi.

The letter said that everything is fine for him in Hexi, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are herds of horses and lush water and grass, it is a good place to live in seclusion.

But this cannot conceal the fact that they were forced to leave.

At that time, Li Yi brought an overly sensitive Jin Wenzhong, so there was really no place for him in the Central Plains.Coupled with the tense situation at the time, they had to stay away from the center to give them a chance to breathe.

During the five years, they corresponded with each other, in which he learned of Li Yi's deeds in Hexi, and that he led the local residents to build a mountain villa, which was somewhat similar to the Wubao in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, named Qilianbao, to shelter the common people And passing caravans, and contacted the generals of the frontier, and served as scouts for them many times, specifically to resist Tubo and Turkic stragglers.

Pei Jiawu, who delivered the letter for him, poured himself a glass of Beidi spirits: "Ah Yi has finally come out of those things. When I met him last year, he was much happier."

"That's good." Yun Qi sighed lightly.

"A Yi is a restless child, just like me." Pei Jia said happily, "Although the status of the clan has been restored for them, Ah Yi is not the kind of person who is willing to guard the imperial city, but it is estimated that he will come back in a few years gone."

Yun Qi said: "Don't put gold on your face, that's my apprentice."

Pei Jia sneered and said: "You were not the most free in the past, why don't you understand it better than Ah Yi?"

Yun Qi's hand paused for a moment, then took a drink and said, "This is a deal."

"King Cheng is not a cheap lamp." Pei Jia said, "As a clan, to be able to survive from the hands of Empress Zetian, and to befriend today's sages, their scheming is unfathomable."

Yun Qi said: "Although he is my father, I don't have any father-son relationship with him. Since I have accepted his love, I just report it."

"You, you're just too soft-hearted." Although Pei Jia said this, she knew in her heart that if Yun Qi didn't do this, she wouldn't be the senior brother he knew.

Yun Qi was silent for a moment, then said: "It wasn't because of his help, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to visit senior brother."

The prison of the Magistrate's Court was very cold, it was obviously the scorching heat of August and September, but when entering it, there were bursts of chill spreading from the ground.Shangguan Yan leaned against the bluestone wall of the cell, and smiled when he saw him coming.

Yun Qi said: "Brother, is power really fascinating?"

Shangguan Yan said: "Perhaps so, I have never tasted power, but this is generally the case."

Yun Qi said: "Okay, I understand."

He also didn't want to get an exact answer from Shangguan Yan, he knew the facts, but he didn't know what to say.

Power is power, but also poison.

Li Ren is right, with power one can do many things one wants to do, and one can protect those one wants to protect.It's just that what he didn't say is that power can also make a person into what he hates the most.

"Brother, you have to take care of yourself."

Yun Qi said this to him, and added silently from the bottom of her heart: You are alive, so I will never forget the original intention of making this decision.

Shangguan Yan smiled and nodded.

He saw Shangguan Wan'er who was alone at the gate of the official office.

Yun Qi's pupils narrowed slightly, but she pretended not to see him, turned around and left.Shangguan Wan'er stopped him: "General Li!"

Yun Qi thought for a while, then turned to look at this woman.

"What's the matter with Shangguan Sheren?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked a little unnatural, and asked for a while, "Is he alright?"

Yun Qi sneered and said, "Isn't Shangguan Sheren the clearest about whether he is good or not?"

Shangguan Wan'er's expression darkened: "If possible, I don't want to do it either."

Yun Qi sneered and said, "Shangguan Sheren should stop saying such high-sounding words. It is the greatest misfortune for him to be your uncle in his life." Then he turned and left.

Yun Qi once again set foot on the prison door of the Judge's Court.

Emperor Wu was old and fainted, favored and trusted two Zhangs, bestowed death on his grandson, all the horses and horses in the court were silent, and the atmosphere was smoky.

Shangguan Yan was still leaning against the bluestone wall, and the two looked at each other through a prison door, silent for a long time.

Shangguan Yan turned his head and coughed a few times, and said, "I'm fine."

Yun Qi's hand tightly gripped the handle of the waist knife.

"You're not good, but I can't rescue you now..." If you wait a few more years, until the Martial Emperor is born, it will be easy to operate, but now that the person is still sitting firmly on the throne, he can't act rashly.

Yun Qi took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket: "Your own prescription, pills for internal injuries."

Shangguan Yan coughed again and said, "I don't have martial arts anymore."

"What?" Yun Qi glanced aside, took a while to retract, and said in a low voice, gritted his teeth, "Who did it?"

Shangguan Yan shook his head.Yun Qi had no choice but to change a medicine bottle and said, "You can always use this, a pill that warms and nourishes qi and blood."

Yun Qi didn't want to say something like you have to hold on, he suddenly felt that no matter what he said, he was so pale and powerless.

Shangguan Yan understood his thoughts, and said with a smile, "I will protect myself, and so will you."

After all, Shangguan Yan could not wait for the day when he came to save her.

Yun Qi poured another glass of wine and drank it all, but the more he drank, the more sober he became, and the more he drank, the more bitter he became.

Episode [-], Master Uncle

At that time, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, thousands of miles of barren land, starvation and death everywhere, and people competed to eat.Pei Jia lost all her relatives and was taken back to Mount Zhongnan by the old man when she was on the verge of death.

That year he saw a child about his age in that small courtyard.

"who are you?"

Pei Jia was too busy gobbling it up and ignored him.

"Wow, one meal of yours is enough for me in a day, like a starving ghost..." It was like being reincarnated.

"Yun Qi!" The teenage boy patted the boy on the back lightly, holding back his next sentence, but Pei Jia could hear the first half of his sentence clearly, and his expression turned a little pale immediately. ugly.

The young man said to Pei Jia in a gentle voice: "My name is Shangguan Yan, and this is my younger brother Yun Qi. He is too young to speak, so don't take it to heart."

Pei Jia's anger was blocked by his warm words: "...it's okay."

"You're welcome, from now on, you're my younger brother too. Master is old and doesn't want to be a director. I'll take care of it here. If you need anything, just ask."

Pei Jia nodded.

Xiao Tong sat across from him as if familiar, and asked curiously, "How old are you?"

Pei Jia didn't want to talk to him, but thinking about getting along with him day and night from now on, she didn't offend him: "Eight years old, how about you?"

"I am six years old this year, but from now on you will call me Senior Brother!"

After all, Pei Jia was still a child, so she couldn't help retorting: "You are obviously younger than me, why should I call you senior brother?"

"You started later than me."

"Then which of us is older?"

"You."

"The elder is a brother, so you have to call me brother."

"But I was a teacher earlier than you..."

The decades of 'discord' between the brothers and sisters began from the first day of apprenticeship.

Later, Yun Qi picked up a boy with a terrific bone to be his apprentice, Pei Jia subconsciously tried to snatch it, but as expected, he didn't snatch it, so he went out in a huff, intending to pick up another apprentice as well.

Xie County is the family land of the Xima Pei family, and they have the same origin as their families, but they are not of the same line.Pei Jia met a little boy by chance in Xie County.

The little boy was about the same age as Li Yi. He lost his husband when he was young and was raised by his mother.The child's name is Pei Min, and although he worships him as a teacher, he doesn't want to leave his mother, so Pei Jia has no choice but to teach him a set of swordsmanship, and then travels around by himself.

Afterwards he went there several times one after another, the children were willing to work hard, Pei Jia also developed a love of talent, and taught him all his martial arts.Pei Min learned quickly and added a lot of tricks to his own sword moves. Although he was not aggressive, he danced very beautifully.

Pei Jia said to him: "My senior brother has an apprentice who left the mountain at the age of 14 to travel around the rivers and lakes. Instead of working behind closed doors, you might as well go out and travel."

Different from Li Yi's route, Pei Min finally chose Shu as his first stop. It is said that he likes the wine in Jiannan area.

In June of the third year of Shenlong, Li Yi handed over the affairs of Hexi to others, and he wanted to go south to the Central Plains, so he sent a letter to Pei Jia and Yun Qi in advance.

Pei Jia hurriedly sent a letter to Pei Min as well, the general content was, hurry back and fight with your brother, let me see if your flashy swordsmanship has improved.

A few months later, Pei Jia didn't find anyone, but a letter came, which said that Pei Min had taken in an apprentice named Li Bai, smart and intelligent, he was addicted to playing with his apprentice, so he had to miss the appointment.

Pei Jia, who caught off guard and became an elder: ... that's fine, as long as you are happy.

Episode [-], Master

After the Shenlong coup, Li Ren was proclaimed King Cheng, but Yun Qi still did not want to be included in his family's genealogy, but did not refuse the official position in the court.

Li Ren led the Zuo Jinwu General, and Yun Qi also took the position of a general. Because of his superb riding skills and his willingness to teach the soldiers, he was loved by the soldiers.

Except for visiting his biological mother, he rarely went back to the so-called father's palace.But recently he discovered that the slick King Cheng had contacted the crown prince at some point.

Yun Qi: "..."

The expected result, didn't he maintain a good relationship with Queen Zetian and the current saint at the same time.Now that he is close to the prince, he probably has the same thought.

He doesn't look for trouble, but things always find him.One day, Li Ren called him back home alone to discuss private matters.

Yun Qi said: "What's the private matter between you and me?"

Li Ren said with a smile: "If not, why don't you share the family relationship with you for your father?"

"Heh." Yun Qi narrowed his eyes, "What's the matter with you?"

Li Ren had no choice but to get straight to the point: "His Royal Highness wants to raise troops."

Yun Qi stood up suddenly: "I refuse!"

Li Ren raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that things have happened, do you think you can still get away with it?"

Yun Qi took two deep breaths, sat back down again, and said with a sneer: "Tell me, I'll listen."

Li Ren said: "Do you know that Shangguan Wan'er has an affair with Wu Sansi?"

Yun Qi snorted coldly.

Li Ren sighed: "In the early years, the sage may have had a little aura, but he was also scared away by Queen Zetian. Now Queen Wei, Princess Anle and Shangguan Wan'er are in power, and the five kings have been relegated to the frontier by Wu's party one after another. The crown prince is alone. , is in a precarious situation.”

Yun Qi said, "What does it have to do with me?"

Li Ren said: "It doesn't matter, but father wants to help you.

The prince wanted to get rid of Wu Sansi and others, but it was impossible for him alone, so he and General Li Duozuo asked him to be his father. "

Li Ren said: "This is a good time to get rid of Shangguan Wan'er, I don't believe you are not tempted."

Yun Qi was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I admit that you have helped me a lot, but this is not the reason why you coerced me into rebelling."

"I just can't see the hope of victory. The prince enters the palace to kill Wei Shi and Shangguan Wan'er, but leading the army into the palace is a violation of the emperor's taboo. Unless he directly ascends the throne this time, he will undoubtedly die."

Li Rendao: "The sage is not an unreasonable person. He is just making false claims with the Wu family. If we do it for him, he can't ask for it."

Yun Qi sneered, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, so he was silent for a moment, and said:

"I can help you, but this is the last time. From now on, I will not train soldiers for you, nor will I stay in Chang'an for a long time. You...you can do it yourself."

On July 300th, Prince Li Chongjun and his subordinates led [-] people from Zuo Yulin Guards to punish Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun, but they were let off by Li Ren, who guarded the palace gate, and entered the palace to kill Webster, Princess Anle, Shangguan Wan'er, etc. people.However, the success failed, and Prince Zhongjun led his troops to flee Chang'an.

Yun Qi drew the bow from a distance, and the three arrows in his hand made a shrill sound, and the next moment they pierced through the throats of the pursuers.

He subconsciously touched the arrow again, but it was empty. When he looked down, he saw that the quiver was empty.

"Let's go first, general, I'll cut off the heir for you!"

Yun Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked sideways at the few people around her.

"No," he said, "I missed you. If you survive, please don't hold grudges against me."

"General!"

Yun Qi didn't pay any attention to it, gripped the horizontal saber tightly, and rode his horse to meet the pursuers.

The pursuers □□ pointed forward, Yun Qi rode his horse, and when the distance was only a few feet away, he raised his breath suddenly, endured the severe pain in his meridians, and used light kung fu, borrowing strength from the barrel of the gun, and wiped it horizontally To several people's necks.

The sound of bowstrings was heard in the distance, and several feathered arrows sprang out at some unknown time, and flew towards them at the next moment when the pursuers fell.

Yun Qi's strength was unsustainable, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he could only watch the swift arrow rush towards his face.

"Dang!" A crisp voice rang in his ears.Out of nowhere, a masked man in black came out to block the rain of arrows for him, and the next moment he clenched his hand tightly and said, "Let's go!"

The man in black snatched a horse, pulled Yun Qi past him, took the lead, and galloped away.

Yun Qi snorted, and muttered to himself: "...It's you."

The army all focused on the escaped prince Chongjun, and no one paid any attention to the two of them.

Pei Jia rushed out of Chang'an City and rode his horse for several miles, but the horse under his seat was obviously not a fine horse, so at this moment he was so tired that he snorted.

Pei Jia let the horse take a small step, without looking back, she said to the person behind her: "Are you okay?"

There was no answer behind him, and he seemed to hear the other person's small breathing.

Pei Jia reached out to hold his hand hanging in front of him, and asked, "Yun Qi?"

Pei Jia's lips twitched, and her eye circles were a little red: "We have already left Chang'an, so we will transfer to Zhongnan Mountain."

"I told you that I have taken in an apprentice. I have sent a letter asking him to come back and compete with Ah Yi. You have to go back with me to see if your apprentice is the best or mine."

"Ayi is coming back soon, don't you miss him? See him soon."

"Yun Qi, let's go back to the mountain to sweep senior brother's grave together."

"Yun Qi..."

Yun Qi leaned on his shoulder, seeming to be listening quietly, his bun had been parted earlier, and the broken hair fell down along his cheeks, covering half of his face.And on his back, there are several arrows that have penetrated into the flesh and blood.

Pei Jia lowered her head, clenched the long knife all the way and fell to the ground, hitting the ground with a dull sound.

"...Brother."

Changdi's Hua, Ebuweiwei, all people today are like brothers.

The prestige of death and mourning, brother Kong Huai, the original Xie, and brother begging.

The brothers fought against the wall, and their affairs were controlled from the outside.Every time there are good friends, there is no Rong in the steam.

The chaos is peaceful, peaceful and peaceful.Although there are brothers, it is not as good as friends.
