Chapter 220: Before the lanterns were lit, they flowed down the river, leaving Jianzhou, going straight down to the Three Gorges, arriving at Jingzhou with all the people and horses, then entering Dongting, leaving the Xiang River, and arriving at Tanzhou. "The thoughts are gradually disappearing, and the vegetation is gone.

It's lush and green, and the high sun is shining brightly onto the earth!

A group of several people, covered with travel dust and exhausted, walked into the city with an ugly gray horse. Regardless of the bustling scenery, under the leadership of Li Shun, they followed the road indicated by Li Xingzhi and headed straight to the northwest corner.

And go.

The flow of people becomes thinner and the roads become narrower. The heat and boredom that fills the whole body gradually dissipates, and the hard and cold bluestone brings a bit of coolness and desolation.

Just when everyone was feeling a little dizzy, the alley turned and became slightly wider again.

The first thing you see is a three-story vast wooden building. The edge of the building is high, and there is a mythical beast raising its head on it. The door faces north, not big or small, not imposing, but looks generous and broad. When you walk in, you can see the horizontal floor above.

The plaque contains three words: Library Pavilion! There is a couplet embedded beside the door, which reads: No idlers are allowed in, and thieves are not allowed to come!

There are often people coming in and out of the door, but they are all silent and have a scholarly air. Their faces are thin, and they are definitely not white.

"This is the 'Book Collection' that the nephew said!" Li Shun thought to himself.

He was thinking this, but he was secretly frightened. He had just arrived in the Central Plains for several years, and when he was in Chang'an, he had never seen what this library looked like. He only heard from his old uncle that his nephew had created such a library.

I didn’t pay much attention to the property, but when I saw it today, I didn’t expect it to be so magnificent! The library in Tanzhou City is so tall and extraordinary, and the ones built in the capital city of Chang’an and Luoyang are unknown.

How cool!

Li Shun was trembling in his heart, but his steps were not slow. With the obvious coordinates of the Library Pavilion, it would be easy to find the door of Li's Mansion.

Continuing forward, there are few people and the road is narrow. After a while, it suddenly opens up! A large and heavy dark door stands in front of everyone. It is low-key but not luxurious, grand but not overwhelming, and it is polished to a shiny finish.

It's so bright that it can illuminate the shadows of several people.

Li Shun walked to the door and knocked hard on the lion's head bronze ring several times.

"Clang clang clang!"

The sound of gold and jade clashing echoed throughout the alley.

Soon, the door cracked open, and a young man stuck out his big head in a sneaky manner.

"Who are you, and why are you knocking on the door of our Li Mansion?" The young man's eyes rolled around, looking at the few dusty, imposing men in front of the door. When he saw the horse behind him,

The ugly big horse's eyes became fixed again.

"Is this the residence of Li Xingzhi and Li Dalang?"

"yes!"

"I'm his uncle, please hurry up and open the door to greet me!"

The young boy rolled his eyes, banged, and closed the heavy door. Within a moment, the door swung open, and out came three or five slaves and a few big men, all dressed in unusual clothes. First there was a woman with fair skin.

, although she is not very good-looking, her white skin and radiant temperament make her look radiant.

When Li Shun and others saw the big men, their faces changed slightly, showing a look of concentration. Running around on the rivers and lakes all year round, they saw the dignified temperament of these big men. Although they were not infected with the evil spirit, they also knew that

The other party is not simple. I felt tight in my heart, but then I felt relieved. After all, it is his nephew's house, so I need to be more careful and careful when walking in the rivers and lakes. Thinking of this, I looked at the big men with a little more eyes.

I appreciate it very much. Looking at the plump woman in front of me, I feel a little more kind.

"This gentleman is my Alang's uncle!" Aunt Wu said.

"Well!" Li Shun saw that Li Xingzhi had not seen him for a long time, so he knew that he was not in the house and asked, "Where is your husband? Where has he gone?"

"Mr. Lang is still outside the city. I have sent someone to invite him. He will be back in a while." Aunt Wu said with a smile, "A Lang has already given instructions. I didn't want him to arrive so quickly, so I had to rush to welcome him."

.”

With that said, he was about to lead a few people into the house. A boy came out next to him and was about to lead the horse, but when he saw that the ugly gray horse had no saddle and no reins, he immediately didn't know what to do.

Just when he was in trouble, Li Shun walked up to the ugly horse and said a few words, as if he was giving orders. As soon as he finished speaking, the big gray horse didn't appreciate it. The horse shook its head, turned its body, and its huge pony tail

Then he swept Li Shun's head and face, revealing a mischievous look like a child's in his eyes.

There is no danger if you are swept away by this pony tail, but you will definitely be embarrassed.

As if Li Shun had known the gray horse's movements, he quickly dodged and jumped back, and the tip of the horse's tail brought a strong wind and swept past the tip of his nose.

When the gray horse saw Li Shun ducking away, he did not pursue him. He just looked at him with an indifferent expression, making no sound or taking any other action.

"Hey! Only my little nephew can control you!"

The gray horse seemed to understand what he said, and swept his tail towards him again.

Li Shun couldn't help it, so he called the boy next to him and said: "Go and cut a plate of good meat and bring a jar of good wine! Remember, it must be good wine!"

When the young man heard what Li Shun said, he was a little confused. He looked at Aunt Wu and when she nodded, he ran in through the side door.

The rest of the Li family didn't understand what Li Shun was going to do. On the contrary, the several big men with Li Shun looked at him with astonishment in their eyes but said nothing.

After a while, the waiter came out with a large plate of hot pork cut into thin slices, and a large jar of wine in his other hand.

Li Shun asked the boy to place the plate of meat in front of the ugly horse and took the jar of wine.

Seeing the delicious and hot meat, the gray horse hissed happily, licked his tongue, bit and devoured the meat.

Everyone in the Li Mansion was speechless when they saw this strange horse eating meat happily.

"Don't be surprised. You will have to worry about it in the future. This is your husband's treasure!" A big man next to Li Shun said sourly as he looked at this plate of fragrant meat.

How could he be happy if he had to entertain this beast with wine and meat every day before he got any meat? If Li Xingzhi hadn't given him a favor earlier and received Li Shun's orders, they would have quit long ago.

At this time, Li Shun patted the big wine jar.

"puff!"

With a muffled sound, the wine jar was knocked open, and the strong aroma of wine overflowed!

"call!"

Several big men smelled the aroma of wine, their eyes were wide open, and they were breathing heavily, as if they had taken strong medicine and saw the ghost of a naked beauty.

"It smells so good! What a wine!"

If Li Shun hadn't held the wine jar tightly in his hand, several big men might have snatched it away.

There are also many people in the Li family who are addicted to alcohol. Although they look much better, they still swallow hard.

At this time, a loud and high-pitched horse neighing sounded through the clouds, waking up several people who were intoxicated by the aroma of wine.

As Li Shun was holding the wine jar, his vision blurred for a while, and a huge horse head suddenly appeared. There were two crystal-like eyes embedded in the horse's head. He glanced at him dissatisfied, and then stared at the jar of wine closely.

The horse's head stretched down, and its long mouth sank into the wine jar...
