Da Tang Si Zi: My Six Super Rich Little Nuggets!

Chapter 151 The Art of Beast Taming: Summoning the White Deer.

Urged by the imperial court, Yu Zhanmo led his army on an expedition, intending to launch a surprise attack on Tibet from the west, employing the classic strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".

His goal was to force the Tibetan army in Chang'an to turn west, thus relieving the crisis in Chang'an.

However, even if Yu Zhanmo was not a time traveler, and even if Xiao Si had not come to his camp, he was not a fool, and naturally and decisively abandoned Yun City in the west.

Yan Wu's succession foreshadowed the danger of being punished by the imperial court for ordering the troops to retreat.

Xiao Si replied, "I understand."

I know Yan Wu. He came from a prominent family. His father was Yan Tingzhi, the Vice Minister of the Chancellery, a very famous prime minister.

The Old Book of Tang describes Yan Wu as having a bright and spirited demeanor, keen perception of things, and displaying the demeanor of an adult from a young age. Although he did not seek to understand things thoroughly when reading, he had a wide range of interests.

At the young age of 20, Yan Wu was transferred to Taiyuan Prefecture as a military advisor, and later recommended by Geshu Han, the military governor of Longyou, to serve as a judge.

Yu Zhanmo interjected, "He is a good friend of mine and once acted alongside Li Heng."

Xiao Si was puzzled: "That's not right, Yan Wu should be Du Fu's friend, how did he become yours?"

Yu Zhanmo laughed and explained, "With this white beard, I naturally look more than twenty years older than him! Haha, it has nothing to do with age putting on a big brother, and it doesn't affect our brotherhood. After all, I'm the young master."

Little Si suddenly realized.

Yu Zhanmo continued: "When the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, Yan Wu fled west with Crown Prince Li Heng. Li Heng later ascended the throne in Lingwu and became Emperor Suzong of Tang."

Xiao Si added, "Could it be that he's accompanying the emperor to Fengxiang and Chang'an? Fengxiang is such a lively place. The city is full of restaurants and teahouses, and there are tons of officials who are extremely busy. If Yan Wu is accompanying the emperor, he would definitely be considered a 'heavenly soldier-general level escort'."

Yu Zhanmo smiled:

"It's not that exaggerated. In the second year of the Zhide era (757), he was appointed as a censor. The following year, he became the prefect of Mianzhou, and soon after, he was promoted to the military governor of Dongchuan. Shortly after, he was transferred back to the capital and served as a censor and the prefect of Jingzhao."

Little Si nodded:

"The position of 'Geishizhong' is no ordinary position; it's like 'the wind in the emperor's ear,' responsible for whispering in the emperor's ear—like a political affairs commissioner. If you're a little quick-witted, the emperor will listen to you smoothly. Even a small suggestion can directly affect the overall situation! Later I learned that 'Geishizhong' can say such things, and they sound even more 'talkative' than my mother!"

……

Faced with such a complex situation requiring the troops to retreat, Yu Zhanmo did not show the slightest panic.

His gaze was sharp as he looked towards the distant horizon, calmly directing the troops. He couldn't bear to watch the army go to their deaths, and he figured he could bear the blame himself.

When Xiao Si woke up again, he was already riding the short, chubby foal.

Yu Zhanmo, on the other hand, sat steadily on his tall white horse.

This pairing didn't initially surprise Xiao Si, since she was used to occasionally being transported to some "strange world," and quickly getting into character was a basic skill for her.

However, what surprised her so much that her heart almost jumped out of her chest was Yu Zhanmo's whistle.

As soon as the sound faded, a whooshing sound came from the sky, and then a flock of large birds, in a V-formation, soared down like messengers.

Xiao Si's eyes widened. These geese reminded her of a movie she had watched as a child, in which the birds were always magical and free.

But this time it's not a movie. Yu Zhanmo is the messenger from the horizon. When he whistles, the whole world begins to move in rhythm with him.

The surrounding reeds swayed gently in the evening breeze, their color tinged with a milk tea hue in the twilight.

Xiao Si's dark hair fluttered in the wind, dancing along with the tassels of the reeds.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten all the troubles and trivialities of the world, leaving only herself and the mysterious young man before her.

In this beautiful world, even the setting sun slowed its pace, and everything seemed so harmonious and peaceful.

Xiao Si's bright, piercing eyes sparkled, her heart filled with sweetness, a sight that complemented Yu Zhanmo's handsome face.

Little Si looked down at its chubby little belly, and the little colt beneath it looked particularly adorable. Suddenly, it felt as if it were standing outside of Yu Zhanmo's awe-inspiring aura of "Beast Taming Technique"!

The flock of birds continued to circle around Yu Zhanmo, as if they were of one mind with him.

Behind Yu Zhanmo, the light of the setting sun seemed to be a lighting effect tailor-made for him, appearing and disappearing in every elegant movement, making him look like a god descending to earth.

She paused, thinking: If Yu Zhanmo is a god descended from heaven, then am I considered an angel's little follower?

She couldn't help but chuckle softly.

A flock of cranes danced around them, and behind Yu Zhanmo was the afterglow of the setting sun, which seemed to carry an endless power from ancient times!

The little rhinoceros and the horse, standing behind Yu Zhanmo, looked like a little penguin riding a fat rhinoceros next to a handsome and tall elephant. They were clearly trying very hard, but they always seemed a little "mismatched".

Little Si couldn't resist turning to the side and touching the foal's chubby hind legs. They were warm, like a hot dog that had just come out of the sun.

She patted the horse gently, as if she had established some unspoken understanding with the little fat horse.

The foal clearly sensed her friendliness, shook its head, smacked its lips, and responded to her pats with a gentle wag of its tail.

"Little pony, is this what you call 'understated luxury with substance'?"

She stole a glance at Yu Zhanmo, who was dashing and heroic, sitting upright on his white horse like an invincible war god.

She herself was like a supporting character in a farce, trying her best to stand up straight, but the pony's occasional clumsy movements always nearly made her fall...

Little Si stroked the horse's head, thinking to himself:

"Sure, even if you're a little chubby, we're still a cute and perfect match, I'll accept it."

Yu Zhanmo seemed to sense her thoughts and said softly:

"Little Si, don't rush, take your time. Who knows if this horse will become a 'mini version of the God of War' someday? It'll have its day!"

Xiao Si also tried hard to project a queenly aura.

But this "mini pig version" cycling gear makes her look more like a chubby little duck standing on a glacier—desperately trying to spread her wings, but always falling short by a "billion" bit.

Especially compared to Yu Zhanmo's tall and majestic white horse, she's practically an "ugly penguin" trying to become a goddess.

Lost in thought, the little ox noticed the flock of birds flying overhead. It realized they weren't geese, but cranes!

She asked curiously, "Do cranes also fly in flocks and in formation?"

Yu Zhanmo smiled but did not answer.

"Pudding Yu, is this your 'inner core'? It's not a crane, is it? Look at all these birds flying around! So free and unrestrained!"

"heart?"

"No, it's the 'core.' It's your soul representing an animal."

"Are you still that one-horned baby rhinoceros?"

Xiao Si shook her head shyly, pointing her finger into the distance: "That's not true, look!"

A herd of deer came galloping by, their thunderous hooves shaking the earth.

The herd of deer ran around them like an elegant bunch of sprites.

In the distance, Yu Zhanmo actually summoned a white deer!

It strolled leisurely among the reeds, like a mythical beast moving lightly, exuding an aura of mystery and tranquility.

This reminded Xiao Si of those verses:

"Seven bamboo horses, bowing before the white deer... riding the white deer at dawn... letting the white deer roam freely among the green cliffs..."

Little Si began to recite the poem in a fitting tone, perfectly complementing the surrounding atmosphere. She even developed a desire to cultivate immortality...

In this cosmic time, all sorrow and anxiety seem to have vanished, leaving only their harmonious dance with nature.

The little rhinoceros was astonished that its "inner core" had transformed from a one-horned rhinoceros into a white deer, or perhaps a herd of deer.

Because her aura permeates everything around her.

Deer are adept at gathering and dispersing, and she felt that her body was much lighter, yet still fit and healthy.

However, he also discovered that he was slightly more timid than before.

Sometimes, just seeing a reflection in the water is enough to make one's inner self panic and flee!

However, Xiao Si adored the spirit beasts that had manifested in the past; they possessed the smoothest and finest fur, beautiful markings, and a gentle yet reserved temperament…

She was completely captivated, feeling that everything was incredibly beautiful and a gift from heaven.

She even couldn't help but think:

How wonderful it would be if I could stay in this dream world forever and never have to wake up!
