Chapter 77 The Emperor Summons

The next day, the grand event in Yanghuahua Mansion spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an. The first arrow in Anxi, Li Qing'an, and Shi Siming, the world's first arrow, competed with the most arrow in the world, and Li Qing'an won 19 to 18. The competition process in the middle was particularly thrilling. Under the description and rendering of a good talker, the excitement of this competition made everyone in Chang'an amazed.

One morning, a wave of throwing pots was set off in Chang'an City. People in the streets and alleys practiced throwing pots ten feet away. Countless young men longed to be the second in Anxi Li Qing'an, and even many people even had a scar on their foreheads.

On the polo field of Chongrenfang, the Anxi polo team was in full swing, jumping on horseback and running like lightning. However, there were particularly many people in Chang'an who were watching the training today. They were no longer completely residents of Chongrenfang. There were people from several nearby buildings, even the remote Yonghe and Chang'anfang, who came to watch the game, among which young men and women were the most. Overnight, Li Qing'an got countless admirers.

They pointed at Li Qing'an and whispered, "It's him, Li Qing'an, Anxi's first arrow, no! It's the best arrow in the world."

Changan girls also have a trend of chasing stars. A large group of girls gathered outside the court and watched Li Qingan play with enthusiasm. Every time he hit a ball, he attracted a lot of cheers.

Li Fei Yuanli was both envious and depressed, "Damn it, why didn't I have such good luck!"

Especially Li Qing'an got a pair of twin sisters, which made Li Fei Yuanli even more jealous. Why is this guy who is ignorant of the charm so lucky?

In a corner of the polo court, Rushi Ruhua and Xiaolian poured tea on a table. Bai Yuanguang, sweating-riding horse ran over and said with a smile: "Ruhua, give me a bowl of tea."

Ruhua's mouth is sweet and lively, especially loved by the Anxi soldiers. She smiled and brought him a bowl of tea, "Brother Bai, why don't I add some hot water to you!"

"No need, drink it cool!"

Bai Guangyuan drank a bowl of herbal tea in one go, and the polo players came to ask for water.

"Xiao Lian, give me a bowl."

"Rushi, I'll give me a bowl, thank you!"

The three little girls were busy serving tea and water. Suddenly, there was a scream of young girls outside the venue. Everyone looked back and found that it was Li Qingan who had left the scene.

Duan Xiushi couldn't help but shake her head and smiled, "This Qilang! Why do you like women like this?"

Ruhua glared at them hatefully and whispered to Xiaolian: "These girls buzz like flies, it's really annoying!"

Rushi poured a bowl of hot tea and brought it over carefully, "Brother Li, you drink tea."

Li Qingan got off the horse and took the tea bowl. Seeing her beautiful eyes shy, he couldn't help but think of her infinite tenderness last night. He felt a little pity in his heart. He took the tea bowl and smiled and said, "It's enough here Ruhua and Xiaolian, you can go back!"

Rushi felt sweet in her heart, and she lowered her head and whispered: "Brother Li, I like you to play basketball too."

"Li Qilang——" A girl's cry suddenly came from a distance.

Li Qing'an frowned. How could they know their nickname? Next to a group of girls, Li Fei Yuanli was grinning at him.

"This bastard, I'm afraid the world will not be in chaos." Li Qingan cursed.

Rushi covered her mouth and smiled, "Brother Li, we are all the way here and we are talking about your last night's events everywhere. Maybe more girls will come tomorrow."

Li Qingan smiled bitterly, and he thought about it and said, "Tonight, we will play with the pot throwing, how about it?"

But Rushi didn't know where she was thinking. Her pretty face turned red and she nodded shyly.

At this time, Duan Xiushi shouted from behind: "Qilang, it seems that someone from the palace is coming."

Li Qing'an looked into the distance and saw several eunuchs riding horses towards this side, and rushed into the polo field in a blink of an eye.

"Where is Li Qing'an?"

Li Qing'an urged him to step forward and said, "I'm here."

A eunuch raised his head and said, "According to the oral order of Your Majesty, Li Qing'an will immediately enter the palace to meet him."



















It was already afternoon. Li Longji had just had lunch and was lying in the imperial study room and closed his eyes to rest. According to his usual habits, he would definitely go back to the palace to take a nap for an hour, but the palace was moving in the past two days, which was very messy and he had no intention of going back. At the same time, he was waiting for a memorial, a memorial that he had cared about for a long time.

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly walked out of the imperial study room. Gao Lishi waved his hand to him, pointed to the room, and signaled him to whisper.

"Aweng, Longyou's memorial has arrived." The eunuch handed a memorial to Gao Lishi.

"I understand, you go down first!"

Gao Lishi opened the memorial and looked at it. Before he knew it, his eyebrows were frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Why is this Wang Zhongsi so uninterested?

"General, has it been Dong Yanguang's memorial?" Li Longji's voice suddenly came from the imperial study room.

“That’s right, just arrived.”

Gao Lishi hurriedly walked into the room and saw that two young eunuchs had helped Li Longji to sit up. Another eunuch handed over a handkerchief that had been smoked with ambergris. Li Longji wiped his face and immediately woke up. He put the handkerchief down and said, "Give me the memorial!"

Gao Lishi sighed in his heart and respectfully handed the memorial to Li Longji, "Your Majesty, please read it."

Li Longji couldn't wait to open the memorial. Unexpectedly, after only a few lines, he became furious and threw the memorial to the ground, angrily saying, "What does this Wang Zhongsi mean? If he doesn't do it, can I let others do it, so can't it be possible?"

"Your Majesty! Stop your anger!"

Gao Lishi quickly picked up the memorial, patted it gently, and put it back on the table and whispered: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhongsi means that the Shibao City is dangerous, and it will definitely cause more than half of the soldiers to conquer it. This is his normal idea of ​​sympathizing with soldiers and serving as generals."

‘The normal idea of ​​the general?’ Li Longji sneered, “What is the normal idea of ​​the minister? I have issued three orders to him to take down Shibao City, ask for money and grain, but he doesn’t do it, so I will tolerate it, and ask Dong Yanguang to attack Shibao City, but he did not send reinforcements and let Dong Yanguang be defeated by Shibao City. I don’t know whether the Hexi army in Longyou belongs to me or Wang Zhongsi?”

Gao Lishi knew that the matter was serious. If he didn't persuade him, Wang Zhongsi would be unable to save his life. He tried his best to smooth things over for Wang Zhongsi and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Zhongsi is loyal. He will not misunderstand Your Majesty's thoughts. The old slave thought that he must have other difficulties. It's better to call him to the capital to ask, what's going on? You can't just listen to Dong Yanguang's words."

Li Longji looked up at the ceiling and remained silent for a while. Suddenly, he asked, "Why didn't the prince go to attend the third wife's birthday party last night? I remember he had an invitation."

When talking about Wang Zhongsi, he suddenly pulled out the prince. Perhaps others would be a little confused, but Gao Lishi knew Li Longji too well, and he felt panic in his heart. What he was most worried about was that finally happened.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the prince was sick yesterday and was bedridden."

"Hmph! He is always sick. How can he take my burden with such a body? How can he have the energy to govern the Tang Dynasty? Well! General, go see him for me. What needs he has, and you can try to satisfy him. Even if you have a little overreach, it doesn't matter."

"Old slave obeys the order!"

At this time, a eunuch came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, General Li Qing'an of the Central Army has been brought here and is waiting to see him outside the palace."
