May you live in peace

Chapter 18 Chapter 18

Gao Shan didn't dare to go out in the past few days, he went to the palace almost early in the morning to guard, and only went back at night.When she was assigned to be in charge of the imperial city, she also came together with the large army and did not act alone.

"Shan, look at that girl staring at you." The one who spoke was Jiang Wei, Gao Shan's subordinate, but his personality was like Liu Han's, and he occasionally joked with Gao Shan.

"Stop talking, if you don't move forward, or you will stand by for a while today instead of a few brothers."

Jiang Xuan's eyes widened, he really believed that Gao Shan would do this.Although this person has a cold face, he is actually an approachable person.Normally, the words are not many but short, but this time such a long sentence made him calm down instantly.

In fact, Takasugi is also very helpless. Ever since she was drunk at the Huashi Banquet last time, she showed her only entertainment-related abilities. From the third day onwards, there are always matchmakers from all corners of her door. propose marriage.She was also puzzled at first, but she realized from the words of her servants that there is no such way of painting in this world, and even though the piece she played was simple, it shocked a group of people.Coupled with the importance the Eldest Princess paid to her at the banquet at that time, and the fact that she was sent back later, some people said that she was favored by the Eldest Princess.Therefore, some masters of small families came to propose marriage to her on behalf of their daughters.

Turning his head, he saw the woman just now was still looking at her from the window, lowered her head, and quickened her pace.

"A-Shan, A-Shan." A familiar voice came from a distance, Gao Shan raised his head, saw Li Da standing in front of the public house not far away shouting at her, and went up to meet her.

"Why are you here?" Gao Shan saw that he was holding a document with a seal on it.

"I'm fine this afternoon. I wanted to go to Uncle Lin's place to have a sit-down, but there are not enough people in the Gong Yuan today. The personnel in charge of the scientific examination were summoned temporarily. Liu Shaoqing arranged for me to deliver the papers for this scientific examination. " Li Da turned the document in his hand upside down, Gao Shan nodded, and waited for him to send the things in.

Not long after, Li Da came out.Gao Shan changed the guard with someone this afternoon, thinking that there might be someone waiting for him when he went back, so he discussed that after noon, the two would go to Lin Tai's residence to visit him together.

The two walked on the road, looking at the prosperity of the capital. The streets of Shangjing are divided into five directions, east, west, north, and middle, and the imperial capital is right in the center.The four directions around the imperial capital are the mansions of the royal family, nobles, princes and generals.To the east is the mansion of the second princess, to the west and north are the mansions of the imperial relatives, the present left and right ministers, Zuo Fengyi, Fufeng County, and Jing Zhaoyin, to the southeast is the mansion of the Duke of Guo, and to the south is the mansion of the Marquis and other officials and above the third rank. government.The east and west avenues of Shangjing are very beautifully built. The streets paved with stone roads are connected to the city gate. Taverns, teahouses, workshops, restaurants, book galleries, temples and various commercial and agricultural buildings are built beside the two streets. and shops related to the service industry.Although the roads of South Street and North Street also have stone paved avenues, they are somewhat dirty due to dense population. Some stone roads have long been destroyed, and dirt roads are extremely difficult to walk after rain.

After noon, the two went to look for Lin Tai at South Street. He was arranged in the capital due to injury. Not long ago, Fan Yu asked him to be an arsenal commander, and he found a job, and his life was decent.

"I heard from them that the frontier country has won a great victory, the former Beidi leader Idel committed suicide while fleeing, Harbala surrendered, and now the rights of the grassland have almost belonged to Bahrain."

Gao Shan nodded. Not long ago, she heard the matter mentioned in the conversation between the eldest princess and the second princess, and also heard that Beidi is now working with Hao Guo's army to clean up the mess, and agreed to send envoys to Hao Guo within half a year to establish an alliance with Hao Guo. Friendly relations.

"Recently, the emperor was ill. He handed over state affairs to the Eldest Princess and the Second Princess. He also built the Great Compassionate Palace, saying that he would devote himself to cultivating Buddhism in order to seek the protection of the gods."

"Let's not talk about royal matters." Gao Shan knew about it, but he didn't dare to talk about it casually.Li Da is now working in the imperial court. Although his official position is low, he is intelligent and highly valued.Seeing him nodding, the two continued to move forward.

"Shanzi, Liu Shaoqing and Meng Taichang also asked me to participate in the management of this scientific expedition. Maybe we don't have time to see each other recently."

The two turned around a street and walked into an alley. The alley was very narrow and only a carriage could pass through. The muddy road was very difficult to walk due to water damage. The two avoided the mud and walked deep.

"You are busy, I may also be busy recently. Hao Guo won a big victory in Beidi this time, and the recovery of the country made Beidi feel jealous. The surrounding small countries will take this opportunity to send envoys to congratulate. In addition, next month It’s the eldest princess’s birthday, maybe these envoys will come at this time, and the imperial city is busy with deployment recently, and it will take a while.” Gaoshan stepped across a quagmire, and there were more than a dozen stone stairs above, and the path on the left side of the stone ladder was located There is a house, which is Lin Tai's residence.

"That's right, next month is the eldest princess's birthday." Li Da thought of Yin Xi. He only met the eldest princess once when he was in the border country, but he also had a deep impression of the eldest princess. He was very impressed with the eldest princess' strategy on the battlefield. admire.After returning to the capital, he held a small official position in the capital, and the eldest princess arranged some people to teach him more, so he respected the eldest princess.

When the two arrived at the door, they saw that the door was open, there were some tea sets in the yard, and the sound of conversation could be faintly heard in the room.

"Ada and Shanzi are here, come in quickly." Mrs. Li, Lin Tai's daughter-in-law, saw the two standing outside the door and rushed to greet them.The people in the back room seemed to have heard the movement outside, stopped communicating and walked out.

"Aunt Li." Li Da smiled and gave the medicinal materials in his hand to Mrs. Li. Lin Tai was injured, and every time the two of them came to visit, they brought the medicinal materials.

"You guys are here too." Fan Yu's voice was rich, with the roughness of staying in the border country all year round.Followed by Hu Zhenbei, and Lin Tai with a cane.

"Duke, Lord Marquis." Li Da bowed, but it was Fan Yu who greeted him with a slap, not lightly but not hard on the head.

"It's really been a long time in the imperial capital, and it still has an official style."

Li Da smiled, Gao Shan still called him 'General', Lin Tai asked the woman to pour a few cups of tea, moved a few brand new wooden chairs and tables outside, and they sat down.

"I asked you to come with me, but it turned out to be a good thing, you came by yourself." As Gao Shan's master, Hu Zhenbei taught her kung fu almost every day when he was in the capital whenever Gao Shan was free.After Fan Yu and Hu Zhenbei returned to the capital, because they were newly promoted titles, they were not used to the flattery and atmosphere in the court.Fan Yu was still able to cope, but Hu Zhenbei didn't want to spend more time with the court officials, so most of the time the two of them stayed with the soldiers who were placed in the imperial capital and who used to fight in the border countries together, so that they could still have some The feeling of being on the battlefield.

"I just met Li Da today, so I came here with him." Gao Shan saw Aunt Li bringing tea, got up to take it, and placed it in front of several people one by one.

"Will the general return to the battlefield?" Li Da asked Fan Yu.Fan Yu and Hu Zhenbei have written to the emperor twice in a row, requesting to return to the border guards, but the emperor returned them both, saying that it was a great victory at the border and that Beidi was no longer a threat.Thinking of their half-life contributions, let them work in the capital and enjoy the rewards and treatment given by the imperial court.

"I can't go back for the time being. Other generals are in charge of the affairs of the border country, so we can only stay in the capital for the elderly." Fan Yu took a sip of tea, "As long as there is a war, I will still write a letter and continue to go to the front."

"The general can also be resettled in the capital. I have been running to me recently, and I am afraid that the general will be tired and take up the general's time." Lin Tai's voice was more moderate than before. It used to look much healthier.

Fan Yu waved his hand, and they knew his temper, so they didn't say anything.

"I heard about Gao Shan's deeds on the street not long ago. I didn't expect that I underestimated you at that time. I only thought you were a material for martial arts, but I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability." Fan Yu joked to Gao Shan, Gao Shan was helpless , "Why is the general here?"

"There was a situation here a few days ago, and it just so happened that the general was going out of Beijing tomorrow to do some business, so he came over to see me by the way today, and is planning to stay here, and leave Beijing from the Suzaku Gate tomorrow morning."

Gao Shan was puzzled, he was responsible for the security near the imperial capital, how could he not know what happened here.

"The day before yesterday, Feng Yuanwai who lived near here was assassinated. Feng Yuanwai's house is at the end of this back street, very close to the treasury I am guarding. I only heard about it last night."

"Did no one report the crime?" Li Da asked.Lin Tai shook his head, he only heard a little about the situation, and he didn't know the rest.

"Someone reported the case, but the government deliberately suppressed the matter." Hu Zhenbei took a sip from the tea bowl, put down the cup, and looked serious.

"Yesterday, Lao Fan and I went to ask about it. Because Feng Yuanwai, Lao Fan and my ancestors were family friends, Lao Fan was very concerned about this matter, so he asked the government how the investigation was going. As a result, the government didn't reply. He told us Feng Yuanwai committed suicide, and I threatened him in a fit of anger, but he just told us not to get involved. So today I came to visit Lin Tai, and secondly, I wanted to ask him about his situation at that time."

Gao Shan frowned, seeing Fan Yu sitting there also had a bad look on his face, but he was much calmer than Hu Zhenbei.

"Tomorrow, I will go out to Beijing to bring back Mr. Feng's granddaughter who is away. Then I have to ask Lin Tai to tidy up the house across the street so that they can live near here."

"Yes, General."

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, several people changed the subject.Lin Tai and Li Da discussed going to the city this afternoon to add some things, and Fan Yu and Hu Zhenbei stopped by to visit some old friends nearby, and they separated.
