Li Bing walked into Chang 'an City in a daze. The soldiers at the gate of Chang' an City all knew Li Bing. They were curious about what had happened to the Third Young Master of the Tang Public House. He had just gone out well. Why did he come in with a gloomy face in a short while? He did not even hear him greet him.
Li Bing's heart was in so much pain. He had never felt so uncomfortable before. This was the true cruelty of feudal society. When he first came to this world, he always felt that he no longer had to live a hard life. He just wanted to be a playboy who ran around and walked his dog. Therefore, he always acted like a sloppy person. Even if Li Yuan and Madam Dou lectured him, he would only respond and never take it to heart. However, this time, he was really heartbroken.
Li Bing had been through a series of events over the past few days. The departure of Immortal Zi Yang, the punishment of the Turkic soldier Li Yuan, the destruction of Xi Liang, Li Yuan's dismissal, and Gao Yuqin's illness. The negative impact these events had on Li Bing had always been deeply suppressed in his heart. It was only today's refugee incident that had become a fuse, igniting all the negative emotions hidden in Li Bing's heart.
Li Bing stumbled along the street. He didn't know where he was going, so he just walked around aimlessly. His mind was completely blank, as if he had become an idiot. He only felt heartache and wanted to vent his anger and hatred for the Turks, but his mind was completely captured by these negative emotions. He walked like a robot, not even bothering to avoid the people in front of him.
The people on the street looked strangely at this influential figure in Chang 'an. Why did he look so dejected today? Was it because Li Yuan's resignation had dealt him such a big blow? Everyone silently watched as this young master walked further and further away from their sight, but no one had the courage to ask him anything to comfort him.
He continued to walk in a daze, as if he did not know where he should go. At this moment, a voice was heard."Ah, you're crazy, you stinky woman. You dare to bite your grandfather and even fantasize about meeting the Emperor through the Prime Minister. Why don't you take a look at your status? You're just a shabby beggar. Stop daydreaming and get lost!”Li Bing looked over numbly. It turned out that it was at the entrance of Yang Su's residence. A sallow and skinny woman in ragged clothes was stopped by two soldiers guarding the door and kicked to the ground.
Li Bing saw this and walked over. In the past, when the two soldiers saw Li Bing, they would respectfully bow and then nod and bow with a charming smile: "Third Young Master Li, you're here!" However, when the two soldiers saw Li Bing approaching, one of them pretended not to see him and turned his head to the side. The other laughed sarcastically,"Aiyo, isn't this Li Sanlang from the Tang Public House? What brings you here? You want to see my Prime Minister? I'm sorry, but our Prime Minister's Estate doesn't accept children. If you want to see my Prime Minister, let your father come personally!”After saying that, he looked at Li Bing with contempt.
Li Bing acted as if she didn't hear him, silently walking over to the woman and helping her up, carefully examining her. Although the woman's face was sallow and skinny, it was still difficult to hide her beautiful face. She must have come from a wealthy family, but she didn't know why she ended up in this state.
The woman, who was lying on the ground, suddenly felt a pair of hands helping her up. She looked up and found that it was a young boy with delicate features. Judging from his clothes and behavior, he was from a noble family. Just now, she heard the guard who kicked her call him the Third Young Master of the Duke's Mansion of Tang. It turned out that he was still from a noble family. Thinking of her family's encounter and looking at these nobles who were drunk all day long in Chang 'an, she could not help but feel a strong hatred in her heart. She opened her mouth and bit down hard on Li Bing's arm. She felt a warm blood gush into her mouth. So this was the blood of a noble. A trace of pleasure flashed across the woman's twisted face.
Li Bing had just helped the woman who had fallen to the ground when he felt a piercing pain in his left arm, pulling him back to reality. He saw that his left arm was being bitten by the woman, and her eyes flashed with hatred.
Li Bing hurriedly shook off the woman's sharp teeth and kicked the woman's abdomen. How could the woman be a match for Li Bing, who had incomparable strength? With just a kick, she was sent flying 30 to 40 feet away. Li Bing looked at the woman who was lying on the ground moaning with a happy expression. Coupled with the provocation of the refugees outside the city, his anger could not help but explode,"Who are you? Why did you attack this young master? Who ordered you to do so? Hurry up and tell me.”Li Bing's small face had a ferocious expression. His somewhat blood-red eyes stared at the woman on the ground. His injured left arm was still dripping with blood.
The woman raised her head and met Li Bing's gaze.""Who instructed you? Hmph, hmph, I'm here to avenge the suffering commoners. We were bullied by the Turks at the border, and three counties were reduced to ruins. The villagers of the three counties were all turned into corpses!”Li Bing trembled slightly, and his clenched fists dropped down as he listened silently. The woman saw that Li Bing was silent and thought that he was guilty. She suddenly shouted hysterically,"But you nobles of the capital are all living in a drunken stupor, acting as if this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't know that the people are suffering. I am the wife of the prefectural envoy, but those Turkic beasts barged into my house and raped me, a weak woman, in front of my master, parents-in-law, and children. Then, my entire family of thirteen was killed. My poor child, while you young masters were enjoying yourselves, my child was crying in hell. I hate it. I hate those damned beasts, I hate that fatuous emperor, I hate you nobles, my poor child!”The woman seemed to have gone mad. She jumped up and slammed her head into the stone lion in front of Yang Su's residence. The two soldiers couldn't stop her in time, and red blood splattered on the lion. The woman slowly fell to the ground, her eyes wide open as she stared at the sky. She died with grievances. It was quiet all around. Everyone looked at the poor woman in silence. They thought of the civilians who had been attacked by the Turks at the border and felt heavy. Yes, this brave woman had endured humiliation all the way to Chang 'an to seek revenge from the Emperor. But what about those who hadn't come? How many more poor people like her were there at the border?
Li Bing stared blankly as a fresh life disappeared in front of him. He felt that his already heavy heart was even more depressed. He walked to the poor woman and closed her eyes with his hand. He walked to a silent peddler and took out his money."Buy her a coffin and bury this poor woman. You can do whatever you want with the rest of the money. She's a poor person. Don't let her die without a place to bury her!”The man silently finished his sentence. He glanced at the woman's corpse and nodded heavily, his eyes burning with hatred for the Turks.
Li Bing turned around and dragged his heavy body straight into the Linjiang Restaurant that he often went to. The restaurant was built beside the river and had good scenery. It was a famous place for dignitaries in Chang 'an.
Li Bing went to the second floor of Linjiang Restaurant and sat down at a table near the river. Because Li Bing and his gang of silkpants friends often came here to drink and have fun, the waiter was very familiar with Li Bing. He came up and bowed,"Third Young Master, are you still the same?" Li Bing waved his hand noncommittally,"I want to drink!" It was a very simple four words.
The waiter had been serving people for a long time, so his ability to read people's expressions was still very good. Seeing that Li Bing was not in a good mood, he knew that this master was not in a good mood today and wanted to drown his sorrows in wine, so he immediately left in a hurry. The food in Linjiang Restaurant was quite good. In a short while, four exquisite dishes and a pot of high-quality flower pot carving were placed on Li Bing's table. Li Bing did not move his chopsticks and only poured wine into his mouth. He did not think about anything else.
This series of events weighed heavily on Li Bing's heart. After all, he was only a young man who had yet to enter society in his previous life and had not experienced much. These days, he felt that he was about to be crushed by these things. In this life, he was only an eight-year-old child. Especially when the woman bit him with that hateful look in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel irritated.
It didn't take long for Li Bing's face to turn red. He stood up drunkenly and shouted at the waiter,"Waiter! Waiter! Give this young master a pen, this young master wants to write a poem!”The waiter saw Li Bing staggering towards him. Everyone in Chang 'an knew the name of the prodigy of the Li family. Moreover, even if Li Yuan left his post, his family background was not something that the shop could provoke. The waiter hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and ran over." Master...""Go away!" He ignored the waiter and walked straight to a wall. He kicked a table by the wall and overturned it. Although he was drunk, his martial arts were still there. He stepped on the table and the white wall was like a dragon and a snake. The waiter was stunned to see Li Bing drinking crazily. He was also dumbfounded, but he did not dare to persuade him. When Li Bing was sober, he knew that he was strong in martial arts, let alone now that he was drunk. At this time, the customers who were eating at Linjiang Restaurant also noticed the drunk and crazy Young Master Li. They all gathered around to watch.
Li Bing's eyes were hazy as he read and wrote. Although he was a little drunk, the woman's hateful gaze lingered in his mind. He hated it too. He hated the weakness of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he hated the incompetence of the generals. Not long after, a word appeared on the wall:
"The river is red
Anger rushed to the crown, leaning against the railing, the rain stopped. He raised his eyes and let out a long howl towards the sky. Thirty years of fame and fortune, dust and soil, eight thousand miles of road clouds and months. Don't be idle, white youth's head, empty sorrow!
The shame of Yanmen has not been avenged, and the hatred of courtiers has not been extinguished. He drove a long chariot and broke through the gap of Helan Mountain. Ambition hungry to eat Hu Krupp meat, laughing and drinking Xiongnu blood. To clean up the old mountains and rivers from the beginning, to the imperial court!
In the seventh year of Renshou of the Great Sui Dynasty, Li Bing of the Tang Mansion was drunk and wrote a poem on Linjiang Tower."
