Tibet

Early the next morning, Li Ye arrived at Dugu's house. He did not enter the house. Within a moment, three warriors escorted a carriage out of the side door.

The car window opened, revealing Dugu Xinyue's pretty face. Today, she wore a single-ring bun with a jade hairpin inserted sideways. Her beautiful eyebrows were like distant daisy, her beautiful eyes were like autumn water, and her two pupils were like autumn water. Li Ye was a little dumbfounded by the black gemstones that gave birth to her skin, which was as white and greasy as fat.

Dugu Xinyue smiled sweetly, "You idiot, you haven't recognized me since we haven't seen each other for a few days?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "I'm used to seeing your heroic appearance, and suddenly you turned into a beautiful girl like a fish and a geese. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"Then which one do you like?" Dugu Xinyue asked with a smile.

"Of course now!"

"Cough! Cough!"

There was a dry cough from the side, and a cute girl's face squeezed out from the side, it was Dugu Qiming.

"You two, you two, you should pay attention to my feelings when you are flirting and teasing, okay?"

Dugu Xinyue rolled her eyes at her, "Don't let me come. If you have to come, just get used to it."

Dugu Qiming immediately yelled, "I don't want to come! Grandma forced me to come here to spy on you two, huh!"

Li Ye laughed dryly, "Let's go!"

The carriage started and drove toward Qujiang Pool in the southeast direction.

Today is the fourth day of August, and the wedding is twelve days away.

Since the time is so close, men and women are generally not allowed to meet again.

But the Dugu family is very realistic. Li Ye was promoted to the military governor of Anxi, held the title of third-rank champion general, and donated three million gold coins to the emperor, which already caused a sensation in Chang'an.

The Dugu family unanimously believed that they must win over Li Ye, especially Dugu Ming, who valued Li Ye very much. Li Ye dispatched a hundred soldiers to join forces with 230 hidden-wing warriors from the Dugu family to attack Shengdaofang Martial Arts Hall at night and kill them. More than a hundred Anjia warriors severely dealt a blow to An Lushan's attempt to annex Wang's industry.

Dugu Ming particularly appreciated Li Ye's decisiveness and ruthlessness. He firmly believed that this was the person who could do great things.

Therefore, Mrs. Dugu agreed and agreed that Dugu Xinyue should spend more time with Li Ye before marriage.

Of course, the elderly have the wisdom of the elderly. She asked Dugu Qiming to follow Dugu Xinyue, so that others would have trouble gossiping.

Dugu Qiming is Dugujun's daughter. She is only fifteen years old. Although she is a little younger, she is very pretty and cute, with a little baby fat and a pair of big black and white eyes that are very smart.

She had a lively and outgoing personality, and she quickly got along with the two of them. She was sweet-tongued, and her elder brother-in-law and younger brother-in-law made Li Ye very happy and gave her a fine sapphire, which was of the same quality as the gemstone necklace on Dugu Xinyue's chest.

The crisp autumn air in August is a good time for autumn outings. Leyouyuan and Qujiang Pools are full of people taking autumn outings. They are all families coming together for autumn outings.

But today happened to be a holiday, and the weather was rarely cool, so there were a lot of officials and dignitaries coming for the autumn outing, and the official roads were lined with carriages.

Many officials also came with their families to play, and Li Ye had already greeted many officials along the way.

Leyou was originally located to the north of Qujiang Pool. It is the highest land in Chang'an City. It is actually a low and gentle hill. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the sparkling Qujiang Pool, which is very refreshing.

Li Ye went to Leyouyuan with his two girls, followed by three Dugu family warriors. In fact, only Dugu Qiming did not know martial arts.

Originally, there was a young lady who wanted to follow, Dugu Ming's youngest daughter Dugu Taibai, but she was a little sick today and did not go out.

Shangleyouyuan is basically a walk. There are many tourists, mostly families, gathering together in twos and threes and slowly walking up the mountain.

The three of them unanimously decided to walk up the mountain to feel the tranquility of nature and the mountain breeze.

Today, Dugu Xinyue and her sister Qiming are both wearing corset skirts, jackets and bijia, but the colors are different. Dugu Qiming's skirt is cyan and white, very youthful, while Dugu Xinyue's skirt is Yellow and red, with patterns embroidered on it, it looks rich and noble.

However, both of them wore curtains, beautifully woven bamboo hats, and gauze hanging around them to cover their faces. On the one hand, it was to protect them from the sun and sand, and on the other hand, it was also because there were so many scoundrels in the Tang Dynasty. There were more in the past dynasties. This was also because the Tang Dynasty had a relatively strong curb on the commodity economy. Many young people had nothing to do and could only idle around. Unlike the Song Dynasty, when the commodity economy was developed, everyone was busy making money.

In fact, we ourselves have experienced that there were a lot of local hooligans in the 1980s and 1990s, and then they became less and less. The reason is very simple. With the development of the economy, there are more ways to make money. If there is a place to make money, who would want to be a local hooligan? rogue.

Along the way up the mountain, I encountered several gangs of gangsters who were teasing the young and beautiful lady. In the end, the male host had to spend some money before they were willing to let her go.

However, these gangsters are very discerning and do not dare to harass officials or powerful people. For example, Dugu Xinyue and Dugu Qiming, they look like rich and noble ladies at first glance, and they are followed by three muscular servants and warriors. Who dares to provoke them? ?

Although they didn't dare to provoke him, a short-sighted scoundrel whistled at Dugu Xinyue from a distance. The three warriors behind him were furious and rushed up, grabbed the scoundrel and slapped him dozens of times. His face was beaten into a pig's head, and three of his teeth were knocked out. He fell to the ground unable to move.

Li Ye smiled and said to the rogue: "You are lucky today. You met three living Bodhisattvas. Go home and burn incense to honor your ancestors! If I take action, your head will be gone."

Dugu Qiming smiled and said: "My brother-in-law didn't scare you. He is nicknamed Ksitigarbha and kills people like crazy. You are really lucky that he didn't take action!"

The other dozen or so scoundrels were so frightened that they ran away. The scoundrel who fell on the ground also struggled to get up and stumbled away.

"Qiming, don't call Jizo Demon anymore." Xinyue frowned.

"Why?"

Dugu Qiming said with a smile: "I think it's very interesting! It's very interesting to scare these gangsters!"

At this moment, someone from behind shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

I saw a few knights leading the way, followed by a carriage, and more than twenty warriors following on horseback, all holding slingshots. Needless to say, this was also a dignitary going up the mountain to play.

Although Li Ye himself didn't like this kind of domineering behavior, he also thought it was normal. This was the privilege of the powerful. If others wanted to exercise this privilege, it was also their freedom.

Dugu Xinyue gently took her sister's arm and pulled her to her side, while Li Ye stood in front of them and naturally blocked them with his body.

The carriage passed by Li Ye and suddenly stopped. The window was opened, and it turned out that it was An Qingxu who was really an enemy on a narrow road.

"Captain Li is also here for the autumn outing? What a coincidence!"

An Qingxu suddenly saw Dugu Xinyue behind Li Ye, his eyes became hot, and he pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "General Li, this is your fault. How can you let the dignified Miss Dugu walk up the mountain? There are rogues along the way. , why don’t I take her for a ride.”

Li Ye looked at him coldly and said nothing.

Dugu Qiming said angrily: "Whoever dares to provoke my sister, my brother-in-law will kill him with one knife!"

An Qingxu looked at Li Ye with a half-smile but said provocatively: "Really? General Li, if I ask Lady Dugu to get in the car, will you kill me?"

A flying knife suddenly appeared in Li Ye's hand, and he said calmly: "You might as well give it a try!"

With a wave of his hand, a cold light flashed, and the warrior's horse suddenly neighed loudly, and the flying knife hit the valley road. The horse was in great pain, and jumped high with its front hooves. The warrior was caught off guard, and was overturned and fell from the horse. The horse suddenly galloped wildly. , jumped down the cliff, and everyone around him exclaimed.

Li Ye sneered and said: "The weather is hot and war horses are easily frightened. I advise Mr. An to walk! Otherwise, the cart and horse will not fall down the mountain."

An Qingxu's face turned pale and he couldn't say a word. He quickly closed the car curtain and said, "Open the way!"

The coachman was frightened and led the horse up the mountain.

Dugu Qiming clapped his hands happily, "Brother-in-law is so awesome, he deserves to be a Ksitigarbha demon. I like it. Sister, please give me your brother-in-law!"

Dugu Xinyue was so angry that she pinched her mouth, "You damn girl, you have no shame, you dare to say anything!"

Li Ye suddenly discovered that this Dugu Qiming was quite cute.

At this time, Li Ye saw a few white copper marbles on the ground, which were specially used to shoot birds. They usually use stone pellets or iron pellets. However, An Qingxu was more luxurious, and his men also used white copper marbles to shoot birds.

The follower should have rolled out when he was overturned and landed on the ground.

Li Ye saw a few white copper marbles that were very delicately made. It was the first time he saw them, so he picked them up and put them in his pocket. He could try the slingshot.
