Better a Centurion Than a Scholar
On a street in Chang 'an, Chang' an was bustling without the disaster of the Turks.
The peddler's voice lingered in the sky above the Chang 'an City market.
Li Feng rode on his Night Illumination Jade Lion, followed by dozens of fully armed white-robed soldiers.
Dozens of people were riding horses and strolling leisurely in Chang 'an's bazaar.
He looked at the narrow road in front of him, which was filled with all kinds of stalls. In front of each stall, there were a few people standing scattered in front of them, choosing goods.
Li Feng also had a bitter smile on his face. He didn't expect that his sudden idea of going to the market would actually make it difficult for him to move an inch.
"Hey, look, isn't that the legendary White Robe Army?”
"It can't be. The white-robed soldiers are the heroes of Chang 'an. Why would they appear here?”
"Look at them wearing white armor and riding white horses. Isn't it the same as the legendary White Robe Army?”
"Really?"
Seeing Li Feng and the others walk into the market, the surrounding commoners looked at this group of people who did not fit in with them and could not help but start discussing.
Just as the surrounding commoners were suspicious of the identities of Li Feng and the others, a person who knew more spoke,
"You guys don't know, but the leader of the White Robe Army, Li Feng, has been conferred the title of Defender General and Everpeace Marquis. This road leads to the Everpeace Marquis Manor.
Thus, these people were most likely the White Robe Army. The one at the front should be the Everpeace Marquis, Li Feng!”
After this analysis, the surrounding commoners immediately calmed down.
Although they were just ordinary people, they were very clear.
It was Li Feng who led the 3,000 white-robed soldiers to save them and conquer the entire Chang 'an.
For a moment, all the peddlers and commoners in the market could not help but look at Li Feng and the others with shining eyes.
" Thank you, Lord Chang 'an Marquis, for saving the people of Chang' an from danger…"
Someone in the crowd shouted. Immediately, the entire market was no longer filled with hawkers, but thanks to Li Feng.
"Thank you for saving the people of Chang 'an!”
"My entire family thanks Lord Everpeace Marquis for saving our lives!”
"Thank you, my lord!"
……
Seeing the surrounding people express their gratitude to him, Li Feng panicked.
He quickly dismounted and looked at the surrounding commoners with a bitter smile. He helplessly shouted,
"Everyone! Fellow villagers, I, Li Feng, have done nothing but do what a citizen of the Great Tang should do. I didn't expect you to love me so much. I am truly ashamed.”
As he spoke, Li Feng bowed deeply to the surrounding commoners.
Looking at the plain commoners in front of him, Li Feng couldn't help but think of those old folks who took care of him in Youzhou.
Thinking of the Turkic bandits who had burned, killed, and looted all the way south, Li Feng couldn't help but mutter,
"The beacon fire shines on Xijing. Teeth Zhang bid farewell to Phoenix Palace, cavalry around Longcheng. The snow is dark, the flags and paintings are withered, and the wind is mixed with the drums. It is better to be a centurion than a scholar.”
As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, the surrounding commoners immediately began to discuss.
"This poem is definitely a good one.”
"Look at that line,'Better a centurion than a scholar', it was so well said.”
"That's right, as expected of the Everpeace Marquis, his words are like a piece of paper. I think those scholars can't compare to the Everpeace Marquis.”
Looking at the surrounding commoners who were discussing animatedly, Li Feng merely smiled and cupped his hands. He mounted his horse and led the tens of white-robed soldiers towards the Everpeace Marquis Manor.
The surrounding commoners did not have time to reminisce about the poem. They quickly retreated to the side and made way for Li Feng and the white-robed soldier.
In fact, most of the people in the market were ordinary people. How could they have any research on poetry?
As for Li Feng's poem, they only felt that it was very heroic.
However, because this poem was written by Li Feng, they naturally chose to believe that it was a good poem unconditionally.
In the crowd, a handsome young master held a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a good young master.
He stared blankly at Li Feng's back and muttered to himself,
"What a good 'I would rather be a centurion than a scholar'. Looks like I've underestimated this Everpeace Marquis.”
Then, the young master disappeared into the crowd.
……
At noon, the sun was still hanging high in the sky. It was summer noon, and the scorching sun mercilessly burned the earth.
Under Chen Yu's lead, Li Feng arrived in front of a house in the western part of the city.
The main entrance of the manor was extremely spacious. The two stone lions at the entrance were the standard of high officials and nobles. The words "Everpeace Marquis Manor" were hung high above the door.
Li Feng carefully looked at the plaque on the door. The words "Everpeace Marquis Manor" attracted Li Feng's attention.
As a slacker, Li Feng did not have much knowledge about calligraphy.
But even so, Li Feng knew that these four words were written very well.
Obviously, these words were written by Li Shiming.
Li Feng didn't expect Li Shiming to personally write a plaque for him.
This was a great honor for the civil and military officials of the Great Tang.
Just as Li Feng was sighing with emotion, a person ran out from the Everpeace Marquis Manor.
Seeing someone running out of the residence, Li Feng could not help but be stunned.
Shouldn't this be my house? What is this guy doing?
