Laughing at Chang'an

In the middle of March, even though it was spring, the early morning breeze in Chang'an City was still chilly.

Li Shen came back from the Moon River, stopped by Suxinzhai, and packed a few vegetarian side dishes that Haitang likes to eat.He never knew how to get along with Haitang, his wife in name. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he left her alone in Chang'an after leaving for two years. She didn't want to take her away.

Even my own wife can't handle it, it's a little sad to say it.

He drove back to Dongcheng, parked in front of his house, and then went in with a lunch box to find someone.A few sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the yard were in full bloom, and the garden was full of fragrance. Li Shen was walking on the veranda, and he picked up a branch and stuck it in the gap in his pocket.He wondered in his heart how he should speak when he met someone. He hadn't seen him in the past two years, and he felt more special than before.

As a result, no one was there.

Li Shen searched the yard all over, feeling a little dazed, where could Haitang go this early in the morning?It's not possible to be telepathic, knowing that he is coming back to find her, and hiding out specially, right?It just so happened that the adjutant came back a step too late, and was caught by him and asked about Haitang's whereabouts.

The adjutant blinked and said, Lord, you don't remember?NO.14 today.

NO.14?

The adjutant saw that he still didn't react, so he had to explain: "Today is the day for cleaning the heart, and Madam went to the synagogue early in the morning."

No. 14 of every month is the Illuminati's heart-cleaning day, and Haitang will go to the auditorium to do a whole day of self-discipline——Li Shen finally remembered this.

He sighed silently, raised his hand and stuffed the lunch box into the adjutant's arms, letting him eat it.There is no way to miss some things. He has passed the age of blindly forcing, not all karma can blossom and bear fruit, and there is no reason to get rewards without giving...the only way is to let nature take its course.

He was distracted for thousands of miles, when he heard the sound of knocking at the courtyard door, the adjutant hurried to answer the door, and after a while, led someone in.

Those who can be brought in without notification are naturally acquaintances.

The visitor was wearing the latest Geng Army formal dress, with a golden chain and long knife emblem pinned to the collar of the coat. He had a gentle face and a three-pointed smile when he met everyone.He walked up to Li Shen, and opened his mouth to complain: "Why don't you even have a porter? I stood outside for a long time, and my hands were red."

Li Shen smiled, handed the lunch box to the adjutant, led the people to the front hall, and said flatly: "What age is this, if you can't come in, just call."

"Hey! When did you get through on that phone? It's always outside the service area." The visitor gave Li Shen a sideways look, and said angrily.

Li Shen still laughed and didn't answer. This man's name is Li Xifeng, and he is the current diplomatic director of the Geng Army. He joined the Geng Army at the same time and belonged to the veterans. The two are about the same age. They are both colleagues and friends. of iron.

The two sat down in the front hall, the adjutant made tea and brought it in, and then walked out consciously.

Li Shen turned his head and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"It's nothing." Li Xifeng took a sip from his teacup, "I heard that you're back, so I came over to take a look."

Li Shenxin is a ghost, waiting for someone to write down.

Sure enough, I heard Li Xifeng ask: "What's so good about Hongdao, is it worth your stay for two years?"

This is a bit of a questioning of the teacher, Li Shen smiled, and replied, the air is good, there are few people, and it is leisurely.

Li Xifeng also smiled.

"I heard that you are tired of the world of flowers and flowers, and have gone to live in seclusion... Then what are you doing back here?"

Li Shen frowned, raised his head, and met the other party's gaze.

"No half a word. It's been two years since I left. You really think that no one has any objections to leaving such a big stall? I said Li Shen, you are not a child anymore, can you stop being so self-willed? Talk about walking and come back. Just come back, what do you think of the Geng Army? Don't say I didn't remind you, when you come back this time, put away your bad temper and avoid offending others. If the commander hadn't protected you for the past two years, your The position has been taken away a long time ago... Now it is not as good as before, the Geng Army's family has a great career, and all kinds of dirty things come out, you have left too many excuses, and even the commander-in-chief will not be able to protect you..."

Li Shen interrupted him with a smile, and said, "Who is going to mess with me? You sign up and I'll talk to him."

Li Xifeng was so stalked that he couldn't speak, the eloquence he relied on for a living was useless in front of Li Shen, and he couldn't reason with this guy at all.

"Yes." Li Xifeng took a deep breath, patted his buttocks and stood up, "I'm too lazy to tell you. The celebration is at twelve o'clock in the noon. Don't be late. That's it, I'm leaving."

Li Shen sent him to the entrance of the hall, and when they reached the entrance of the hall, the two of them stopped at the same time.

"Anyway..."

Li Xifeng turned around, stared at Li Shen's face for a moment, then suddenly grinned, showing two cute canine teeth, and without warning, reached out and hugged Li Shen into his arms.

"Why?" Li Shen was a little dumbfounded, and was about to push him away when he heard Li Xifeng sigh in his ear and said with emotion——

"Just come back."

………………

The Geng Army's tenth anniversary celebration was not a trivial matter.

After seeing off Li Xifeng, Li Shen raised his hand to look at his watch, it was half past nine.Starting at this point, it will be about 10:30 in Nancheng, and counting the traffic jam on the road, it will be after eleven o'clock.He called the adjutant and asked him to find his uniform.

The adjutant scratched his head and said which set do you want?

As one of the earliest veterans of the Geng Army, Li Shen had seven or eight sets of uniforms in his closet.These uniforms have witnessed Li Shen's past in recent years, and can also be said to be historical relics of the gradual rise of the Geng Army.Except for the first set of simple combat uniforms, the following sets are similar. Geng Yan likes white, but the uniforms of the Geng Army are all black. There are naturally reasons for this, and it is also related to Li Shen.

"Of course it's the latest one." Li Shen looked at the adjutant with a strange expression on his face, "Which one do you want me to wear?"

The adjutant was seen through his little thoughts, he hesitated and said: "I think the set of painting a white tiger is better..."

He was referring to the year when Geng Yan held the altar ceremony, the uniforms specially customized for the cadres of the Geng Army were not exactly uniforms, and Li Shen only wore them that time.The black Yangong brocade is thick in color and unobtrusive. A foot is worth ten thousand gold. It is embroidered with white tiger patterns with teeth and claws.

"A Bao." Li Shen said to the earnest education adjutant, "How many times have I told you that you should keep a low profile."

The adjutant Xiaoji nodded as if pecking at rice, groaning silently in his heart, trotted to get the uniform that Li Shen wanted, and waited for him to put it on.Wearing the same black uniform as Li Xifeng just now, it felt completely different on Li Shen.The adjutant carefully pinned the golden chain and long knife emblem on Li Shen's neckline, and straightened his clothes. Finally, he looked around and was not very satisfied.

Li Shen didn't realize that there was something wrong, and was about to walk out, but was held back by the adjutant, who told him to sit down and comb his hair again.

"I'm not going on a blind date, why are you being so careful?" Li Shen was very impatient, but he couldn't hold back the adjutant, so he obediently sat down on the low stool.The adjutant picked a gold hairpin crown from left to right, and put it on Li Shen while muttering: "It's true that you keep a low profile, but you've been keeping a low profile for two years. Make people forget..."

He fixed the hairpin, clapped his hands to finish, and pushed Li Shen to stand in front of the mirror.

I saw the person in the mirror dressed in black with a golden crown, his brows and eyes were full of coldness, behind his back with his hands behind his back, his air was cold, and he looked like a tiger and wolf.

Li Shen smiled, laughing at himself.

………………

Chang'an South City, also known as the "guild hall area", is the only area in Chang'an City where access control is implemented.The entire border of the southern city was covered with a wall, and only a few entrances and exits were set up with guard posts, and only mercenaries or related staff were allowed to enter and exit.It is also a helpless move to make this heavily guarded appearance, the reason is a long story, let's not mention it.

The Geng Army's guild hall was built in the southernmost corner of Nancheng, which was the tallest building at a glance.Geng Yan was only 28 when he got up from the building, and now he is 35. After stepping steadily and striding towards Buhuo, he is about to become an old man.He has never married even a single wife or concubine, nor has he left even a wild child. Everyone is very worried about this matter, but no one has the courage to ask him if there is something unspeakable about it.

The adjutant drove the car, and it was three streets away from Desheng Road, so he had to park the car on the side of the road, let alone drive, and he couldn't even find a place to park.At a glance, there are all luxury cars, more than enough to hold an exhibition, densely packed vehicles of all sizes clogged the road, and some cars even stopped in the middle of the road.Li Shen pushed the door and got out of the car, looking at the grand occasion with some emotion, remembering that Li Tieyi, the current head of Huiguang, had his 70th birthday, and he had never seen such an attitude.

No one would have imagined that in just ten years, that little-known mercenary regiment would grow into such a terrifying behemoth.

Li Shen walked along the street. Six years ago, the Geng Army expanded aggressively and devoured all of this area. The roadside was blocked by a high wall, and chains and long knives were embedded every few meters on the wall. The logo is very eye-catching.

He walked to the gate of the Geng Army Guild Hall.

The bustling crowd gathered here, sent invitations one by one, and entered one by one.The person standing at the door was Li Xifeng, with a beaming smile on his face, he bowed his hands to this one, and said hello to that one, his hands were too busy.

Li Shen looked up at the gold plaque on a black background hanging on the gate, and the two big characters of Geng Jun written dragon, flying, phoenix and dancing were powerful.This plaque was written by Gong Yun and hung by the Marshal himself. He watched from below, and the scenes were as if they were new.

The crowd fell silent at some point, and their eyes turned to Li Shen who was standing behind, with surprise, curiosity, and fear.They quietly separated to the two sides, giving Li Shen a spacious passage.Li Xifeng stood on the steps, put down his hands, tilted his head wearily and smiled at Li Shen.

Li Shen also smiled.

He strode through the crowd, his black uniform overcoat fluttered without wind, and his evil aura seemed to freeze the air. Wherever he passed, everyone bowed their heads, as quiet as a chicken.

The god of death in the world and on earth, Chang'an Gengjun Li Shen.
