Chapter 252: A broken heart(1/2)
After dawn, he found a secluded place. Li Chengzhi let the whole camp rest for two hours, and then hurried on. By dark, they had arrived outside Wuwei City.
Just like the last time he traveled west, Li Chengzhi did not enter the city, but when he camped outside the city, he showed the tooth flag of the Guanzhong garrison.
Li Liang was a little worried: "Lang Jun, once you raise the flag, won't your whereabouts be exposed?"
Li Chengzhi waved his hands indifferently: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Guanzhong is so big, as long as I don't show my flag or show up in public, who knows which state or county in Guanzhong we are sent from?"
We have indeed made arrangements in advance.
Li Chengzhi will have to be away for at least ten days, and there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen: for example, Xi Kangsheng is suddenly summoned, or Yang Shu, Da Xi, or even Xi Kangsheng personally goes to Xiaoguan for inspection.
When these people will ask where Li Chengzhi went, what will Zhang Jingzhi say?
Zhang Jingzhi would naturally answer: Li Chengzhi has been sent to Hexi to explore the road in preparation for escorting the rebels in two months.
It would be great if no one asks...
Seeing that Li Chengzhi had already made arrangements, Li Liang felt relieved and concentrated on playing with the food for Li Chengzhi.
Li Chengzhi grabbed something and studied it with great interest.
They were a pipa and a suona, which were found near the pond where Gao Wenjun and Wei Yu were rescued.
Of course Li Chengzhi can’t play, let alone play.
He was just happy to see Xie Xin, and even more curious: these two things actually existed during the Northern Wei Dynasty?
Pipa doesn't matter, but suona is definitely a good thing.
Thousand-year-old pipa and ten thousand-year-old zither, the whole play ends with the sound of suona...
When the suona sounds, it means either ascending to heaven or worshiping in the church...
The reason why this thing is called the "King of Musical Instruments" is because it is so loud.
And when it comes to the variety of tunes, Bronze Whistle is like a little brother in front of this thing.
So Li Chengzhi wanted to see if he could study it and use it to send messages or give orders during the battle.
Of course, the premise is that he must be able to blow.
Li Chengzhi wiped the whistle spring and was about to put it in his mouth when he saw Li Rui running over in a hurry.
"Lang Jun, a group of people came to Wuwei City, carrying a dozen skinned sheep and several jars of wine... The leader called himself Wuwei County Lieutenant and said he wanted to see the envoy..."
What kind of envoy am I? I’m just a Xibei product.
Furthermore, there is no way he will show up.
"Refuse!" Li Chengzhi replied, "I just said that I won't delay and won't enter the city until I'm lucky. At most, I'll set off at dawn tomorrow. Well... I'll take the sheep back as well, and I'll save the money.
It's a waste of time to test for drugs..."
There must be some purpose for showing courtesy for nothing. Li Chengzhi suspected that this was because the Wuwei County officials saw that they had strong soldiers and horses and strict discipline, so they wanted to ask him to help him suppress horse thieves and bandits.
"No!" Li Rui responded and walked away quickly.
Gao Wenjun's eyes flashed as he looked at the group of county soldiers carrying meat and returning the same way.
It’s enough to cross the city without entering, but even the meat that was carried was carried back intact?
Is it that the discipline of this soldier is too strict, to an incredible degree, or is it that the young general is too cautious and does not dare to let the soldiers in with anything of unknown origin?
But no matter what it is, it is definitely not something ordinary people can do...
Wei Yu stared at the tooth flag and said with joy: "Sister, are they really officers and soldiers, and they are also soldiers of Guanzhong Prefecture?"
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that..." Gao Wenjun also laughed.
Not only are the soldiers in Guanzhong definitely more disciplined than the border soldiers in Hexi, and they should not do anything to the two of them, the most important thing is that 99% of this cavalry is going back to Guanzhong.
My cousin Gao Meng governed Xiazhou (north of today's Yan'an, south of Bayanzhuoer in Inner Mongolia, and the seat of governance is now Jingbian County, Shaanxi Province), which was very close to Guanzhong. With just a letter, my cousin could send a fast horse.
Send them back to Luoyang.
Finally escaped...
As he thought about it, tears welled up in Gao Wenjun's eyes. A trace of guilt arose in his heart, wondering if he had misunderstood the young general who most likely came from the Li family in Longxi...
Wei Yu was not careless as usual. He was standing on tiptoes and stretching his neck, looking hard not far away.
For various reasons, Li Chengzhi did not dare to let them out of sight, whether while marching or setting up camp. The two tents were not far apart, only three or four feet apart.
So Wei Yu could see very clearly that Li Chengzhi was playing with a Su'erna (transliteration of the Western Regions, that's what it's called at this time)
Wei Yu's face froze and she couldn't help but cover her ears.
I just came here once in the morning, and I didn’t even sleep well, so here again?
Sure enough, there was a "beep" sound first, as if a horn was blown, and then there was a "beep" sound.
Especially the last sound, it's like holding a spatula and scraping the bottom of the pot. It's not an ordinary harsh sound.
And it’s still loud, like a demonic sound filling your ears...
Wei Yu grimaced, eyebrows and nose wrinkled: "I really can't stand it anymore...Sister, please teach him a lesson, at least don't sound so unpleasant..."
Regardless of her real background, Gao Wenjun is a real music official, and her rank is not low. There are few instruments in the palace that she does not know how to play.
Teaching a novice like Li Chengzhi is easy.
"Hahaha..." Gao Wenjun couldn't help laughing. He laughed forward and back, making the branches tremble.
After laughing for a while, Gao Wenjun stopped and looked at Li Chengzhi, with a pair of beautiful eyes as deep as autumn water and as bright as the bright moon: "How could a person with such a lofty ambition like him be addicted to such a small way? He just acted on a whim.
Just curious..."
This means that she doesn’t need to teach you at all.
"Aspirational?"
Wei Yu tilted her little head and asked curiously: "It's not even been a day, how did my sister figure it out?"
Gao Wenjun smiled slightly and offered no explanation.
She still had some confidence in her appearance. But the boy didn't seem to even look at him?
As for the words "He only needs to look in the mirror", they are just perfunctory jokes to deal with Wei Yu.
Looking back at the day's journey, we can also see the attitude of the soldiers and generals towards him. It is not just because of his status, but out of inner awe and admiration.
Not surprisingly, the reason why the discipline of this cavalry army is so strict is because of this young man.
Such a general would naturally look down on such a small path...
Thinking in his heart, Gao Wenjun became a little more curious, and his eyes moved slightly: "Okay, let's go and have a look..."
"Okay, okay..."
Wei Yu's eyes narrowed with joy.
……
Li Chengzhi puffed out his cheeks and was competing with the suona.
With his breath, it is not easy to blow this thing.
It’s not difficult to play the tunes in tune. Although Li Chengzhi doesn’t know much about music, he has at least heard the songs. With a little practice, it’s not difficult to play a few tunes.
In later generations, there are so many masters of traditional Chinese folk arts, some of whom are illiterate and can play musical instruments even more skillfully than experts.
Especially in prison, reading music scores is like reading from heaven, but there are many talented people who can play guitar better than the guitarists in the band.
Li Chengzhi found it somewhat difficult to evolve the tune into a military order in a way that was simple and easy to understand.
While he was spinning his thoughts, he was groping for the pitch. The sounds he blew were getting thinner and shriller, making it almost deafening.
Wei Yu covered her ears and twisted her little face into a bitter gourd.
She finally knew what the sound of "piercing clouds and cracking rocks" meant.
Not to mention Wei Yu, even Gao Wenjun frowned involuntarily: It's too unpleasant!
Li Liang held the spoon for mixing the soup and endured it for several moments before he smashed it out.
More than just ghosts crying and wolves howling?
During the Chinese New Year, when several live pigs are slaughtered at the same time, the howling sounds are better than this...
The nearby soldiers all covered their ears tightly, and the war horses were furious, shaking their heads and scratching their hooves, as if they couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to escape.
This shows the power of Li Chengzhi’s suona!
Just when even the horse couldn't bear it anymore, the suona suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked sideways.
Turning around, Li Chengzhi actually stopped and tilted his head, as if he was recalling something.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lang Jun had finally calmed down and his ears finally no longer had to suffer.
I have never thought that an ordinary musical instrument would have the power of Xiaoying in the hands of Lang Jun?
But before the thoughts in his mind were finished, he heard Li Chengzhi exhale and sang a song:
To be continued...
