174. Well-dressed beasts
Three days later, Gao Chen and the deputy general Shen Yu returned safely to Pusaka to join the transport army, and they returned safely, Yang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but the things that puzzled him began to happen one after another.
This lieutenant of the dynasty, the new supervisor of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, suddenly became a little unusual, became willful and wanton, and indulged in joy.
At first, the trip was delayed on the grounds of fatigue or occasional discomfort, and then it began to require that each meal must be full of wine to satisfy the appetite;
Yang Quan was afraid that Gao Chen was the hand-appointed supervisor of the imperial court, so he didn't dare to offend at will, plus he knew that few of these scholars could withstand the hardships of this march, so why should he be harsh on him here, so he tried his best to meet Gao Chen's various requirements in this regard, and the food and clothing along the way were the best.
But a few days later, as soon as the army arrived in Yongzhou, the elegant and handsome overseer seemed to tear off his hypocritical mask at this moment, and when the army stopped in Yongzhou to rest the soldiers and horses, Gao Chen held a banquet in the Yongzhou Assassin's Mansion, saying that he wanted to reward the meritorious soldiers for the imperial court. The prison army has the responsibility of rewarding and punishing, even if Yang Quan disagrees, he can't refute it.
But Gao Chen not only embezzled the money and grain from the Yongzhou Mansion treasury that had been sealed long ago, but also sent people to recruit singers and dancers from the brothel to come to the Assassin Mansion to pour wine and sing and dance for the generals. At first, these generals stationed in Yongzhou were worried about the military law in front of them, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but this banquet was held for three days in a row, and Gao Chen was a person who made a big mistake and knew how to enjoy himself in time.
Yang Quan was born in the army, and he was trained by the strict military law of King Jiushuo, how could he get used to such arrogant and indulgent behavior, seeing that the senior prison army was drunk with the generals today, and was hooking a beautiful prostitute to the inner room at this time, Yang Quan stepped into the inner hall in three steps and two steps, and was about to reprimand Gao Chen for all kinds of absurd behaviors in the hall, but he was stopped by his subordinates, and persuaded Yang Quan in the name of 'the name of the prison army, and dared to take the military law for the next offense'.
After Yang Quan angrily whipped the generals who dared to be drunk and drunk, he angrily went out of the assassination mansion, and after returning to the barracks, he immediately asked the clerk to immediately write a letter on the situation in Yongzhou and pass it to the front line army tent, wanting the generalissimo Shuo Wang Xiao Tang to personally deal with the matter.
Not long after Yang Quan sent the letter, Ziyu disguised herself as a young general and entered the Assassin's Mansion with a token in hand, the purpose of her trip was very simple, that is, to find the Captain of the Horse and see with her own eyes whether others were staying safely in the army.
When he heard that the army of the horse and General Yang Quan Yang had arrived in Yongzhou and stationed here, Ziyu was very happy in her heart, and only said that since the horse was in the army at this moment, there was no major problem when he thought about it, and he could also fly the eagle to pass the book and pass the news of the horse to the young marshal to know, so as not to worry about the young marshal.
But one moment Ziyu was still overjoyed, but the next moment she was annoyed by many things about the supervision of the army in the mouths of the people of Yongzhou.
Tightly clenched the horsewhip, Ziyu rode all the way to the Yongzhou Thorn History Mansion, and persisted in coming to the Thorn History Hall, but saw that the table full of delicious delicacies, good wine and wine were scattered on a table, poured to the ground, and the cups and plates on the ground were in disarray, and there were those sergeants who had already drunk to death lying all around, and some were still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, and they were talking about drunkenness.
Seeing this situation, Ziyu was angry, searched around, and was stunned not to see the figure of the horse governor, and in a fit of anger, he dragged a sergeant who was still a little sober and slapped him with hatred, and scolded:
"Where is the High Supervisor now?"
"Gao Jian Jun, in the ...... Hehe...... Inside...... Inner Courtyard ......"
The unfortunate sergeant's face suddenly ached, and his eyes opened suddenly, but he was still in a trance, but he clearly heard the person asking about the 'High Supervisor Army', the sergeant smirked twice, pointed to the inner courtyard behind the lobby, and had an indescribable smile on his face......
People in the inner courtyard?!
Ziyu got the direction, shook off the sergeant, and went straight to the inner courtyard in a rage.
When Ziyu heard the sound of men and women laughing and playing from the garden, her heart was already half cold, and when she slowly approached the garden, standing at the entrance of the garden and looking at the scenery on the garden pavilion, the person was already angry, and she wanted to cut the person who was unfortunate into ten thousand pieces!
I saw that on the delicate pavilion, a man blindfolded by a woman's silk silk was hiding among the flowers, laughing and chasing each other with those singers and dancers, and Yingying Yanyan was laughing and chasing each other, and those Yingyan were dressed so explicitly that they were rude and shameless, and what was even more morally corrupt was that the blindfolded man took a maiko next to him tightly into his arms with a drunken step, and shamelessly put his hands on the woman, and his face showed a satisfied and happy smile......
When this indulgent and frivolous appearance overlapped with Gao Chen's previous gentle appearance, Ziyu suddenly felt that the human heart was really the most elusive and thorough thing in the world, originally thought that this person would be the best beloved person of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess's sincere heart was given to this person without reservation, but she never thought that in the end, under this elegant and handsome face, what was hidden was an unkind, unjust, and fortunate well-dressed beast!
Ziyu angrily pulled out the sword at her waist, she suddenly regretted that she should have stabbed this person to death with a sword in the back alley that night, and it could also save Her Highness's reputation from being stained, today she Ziyu is fighting to the death, and she will also cut this kind of well-dressed beast under the sword, and carry the head of this unfortunate person to Her Royal Highness the princess to ask for guilt!
"I, Ziyu, will do the way for Heaven today and kill this well-dressed beast with my own hands!"
Ziyu said as he spoke, holding the sword in his hand, he wanted to jump into the garden and slash Gao Chen, but he was suddenly dragged by the person behind him and dragged his calf, Ziyu was horrified, but he didn't know when someone behind him didn't notice it for a while.
Almost reflexively, he swung his sword and stabbed back, and his eyes also moved over, only to notice that the person who was dragging him was not Ah Zheng, who was it?
I heard Ah Zheng hurriedly whisper and said:
"Sister Ziyu, don't hurt your son......"
Ziyu hurriedly retracted the sword momentum, and another half an inch of empty shooting really killed Ah Zheng.
It is said that what kind of master there will be what kind of servant, but like Gao Chen, who is not the same as what he looks and what he is, and a person with three swords, there will actually be a loyal servant like Ah Zheng, Ziyu doesn't know whether to say that Ah Zheng is too stupid, or that Gao Chen is too hateful.
In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Ziyu grabbed Ah Zheng's collar and dragged him to the side courtyard, and then fell out hatefully, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Ah Zheng, it can be seen that the resentment in his heart is unsettled, and he hates Gaochen for a while.
But as soon as she saw the whip mark on Ah Zheng's face, Ziyu didn't feel a pain in her heart, but she didn't know who was so ruthless to do this, and she didn't let go of this little servant!
Even if Ziyu hates Ah Zheng's master very much, when she thinks that Ah Zheng is also respectful and sincere to her on weekdays, she can't bear to see him like this today.
Frowning slightly, Ziyu didn't want Ah Zheng to feel that he cared about him, and still asked coldly:
"How did you get the wound on your face?"
Ah Zheng immediately showed a bitter face, bowed his head and was silent.
Ah Zheng's silence almost immediately made Ziyu understand where the wound on his face came from.
"Did your master fight?"
When Ah Zheng heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said:
"No, it's not, Ah Zheng accidentally fell and injured his face, and it has nothing to do with Childe......"
"Did you get hurt by a fall? It's a whiplash!"
At this moment, Ziyu was angry, and was about to go to the garden with a sword, but Ah Zheng wanted to stop it, but was scolded by Ziyu on the spot, and said:
"Don't stop me again, or I'll kill you together!"
"Then you can kill me together, Ah Zheng must not watch someone hurt Childe!"
Ah Zheng took out almost all the courage in his life at this time, he only knew that he couldn't let people hurt Gongzi no matter what, even if it was Sister Ziyu, no! His life was Gongzi's, if someone wanted to kill Gongzi, they had to kill him first!
Ziyu had an incredible look on her face, this was the first time that Ah Zheng had just faced his anger, daring to stand in front of him, desperately defending a person who was not worth his life to defend at all!
"Do you really think I won't dare to kill you?"
Ziyu stabbed Ah Zheng's neck with a sword, as long as he swiped it lightly, this person would have to pay the price of his life for his wild words, but when Ziyu saw the expression of unrepentance on Ah Zheng's face, she suddenly found that she couldn't do it at all.
Ziyu suddenly didn't understand, how could such a person be worthy of Ah Zheng's life to defend it, and said:
"Is such a sanctimonious and ungrateful well-dressed beast worth your life to protect?"
Ah Zheng was in a hurry, for fear that Sister Ziyu would really do something to hurt her son, so she hurriedly explained:
"No, Sister Ziyu, Childe is definitely not such a person, it may ...... Maybe something happened recently, after Childe went to Shangluo and came back, he was confused for a while to have these ridiculous acts, Ah Zheng can save his life, these actions are definitely not from Childe's heart!"
But Ah Zheng had just said the words that he was willing to use his life as proof, and the sound of men and women frolicking unscrupulously in the garden was transmitted more clearly, making Ah Zheng at this moment an extremely pitiful and pathetic joke......
Ziyu smiled bitterly a few times, and her tone was mostly helpless and mocking, and said:
"Do you want to exonerate your master now?"
After speaking, the killing intent in Ziyu's eyes suddenly thickened, and there was nothing to stop her next move.
Ah Zheng was terrified in his heart, a premonition of not daring invaded his heart, he rushed over and hugged Ziyu's leg regardless of it, not letting her break free lightly, tears flowed out in a hurry, crying and saying:
"Sister Ziyu, you can't hurt the Horse Governor, if you hurt his life today, how should you explain to Her Royal Highness the princess in the future?"
Ziyu didn't care about Ah Zheng, who had been dragging him to death, and dragged him all the way without hesitation, saying:
"After taking off this man's head and personally mentioning it to His Royal Highness, Ziyu will definitely draw her sword and apologize to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Hearing this, Ah Zheng was heartbroken, he wanted to protect his son, but he didn't want to see Ziyu make a mistake, and he had no idea for a while, so he could only hope that Ziyu could focus on the overall situation, and not to make this heinous act of killing the master, and couldn't help crying loudly:
"Sister Ziyu, Gongzi is the hand-appointed supervisor of the imperial court, if you kill the master, you will commit it, it is a heinous crime, Ah Zheng begged Sister Ziyu to focus on the overall situation, don't judge the life and death of Gongzi, so as not to regret it in the future!"
At this time, Ziyu came to her senses, Ah Zheng said that she was not jealous, she was confused, even if Gao Chen should be killed, it was definitely not something that she, a little slave, could kill, if she would rather risk the world's disapproval to kill Gao Chen today, I am afraid that it will not only affect Her Royal Highness the princess, but also implicate Hongyu, then she will really die and will not be able to atone for this sin!
Trying to calm her anger, Ziyu knew that she needed to calm down at this moment, slowly put down the sword in her hand, and looked at Ah Zheng, who was kneeling on the side and already crying, but hugged her leg to prevent her from leaving, and finally could only sigh helplessly, and said coldly, saying:
"Let go of me, I promise you won't kill him!"
Hearing this, Ah Zheng turned his sadness into joy, watching Ziyu withdraw the sword in his hand from the scabbard, and then looking up at Ziyu's indifferent expression, Ah Zheng knew that although Ziyu had resentment in her heart, she promised not to harm her son again, so she would definitely not do it.
Ah Zheng let go of his hand with peace of mind, knelt on the side and sobbed, his body was still trembling, he pulled out his sleeve to wipe the tears and snot on his face, he also felt that this appearance must be ugly, and he didn't dare to look at Ziyu anymore with his head down.
Ziyu was silent, but handed one of his handkerchiefs to Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng saw the slightly purple handkerchief in front of him, and his body couldn't help but be stunned, but he couldn't react for a while, and he didn't take it immediately, and the whole person was a little sluggish.
Ziyu thought that Ah Zheng was delayed, because he disliked the handkerchief, and suddenly felt annoyed, but the things that were sent out Ziyu really didn't have the face to take it back, and the blush on his face was not because of anger or because of something else, so he casually threw the handkerchief to Ah Zheng, and then turned around and left without looking back.
"His life and death will be decided by Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
After leaving Ah Zheng's words, Ziyu quickly left the Thorn History Mansion, she had to hurry back to Fenzhou and report all the qiē here to the young marshal truthfully!
Looking at Ziyu's gradually disappearing back, Ah Zheng carefully held the handkerchief, knelt there quietly like this, and let the tears in his eyes flood wildly......
