Chapter 966: Escort back to Beijing
From the position of the village table, you can clearly see the path that branches off from the official road in the distance.
Zhang Shou noticed that as the team of people and horses that had meandered hundreds of steps along the path gradually approached, the people around him had different reactions.
Zhang Chen, who was still talking about who was afraid of whom just now, tensed up, and started to regret that Zhang Wu, who didn't help him with anything last night, his shoulders trembled slightly, and several other people poured wine into their stomachs one after another, but their faces were stiff, Zhu Ying looked left and right, full of the self-satisfaction of the birthday star, Lu Sanlang munched on it, and commented on the quality of the dishes from time to time, both of them showed good psychological quality.
He didn't know if the latter two had seen some kind of clue as himself, and after thinking about it, he felt that he was not absolutely sure, so he didn't say his guess.
Seeing that Aunt Liu had already helped her slightly drunk mother Wu into the house to rest, at the other tables, some villagers who had drunk too much were playing fists, and the entourage of Guijie's children was singing a small song, and he suddenly screamed on a whim.
"The one who sings, be louder, what's the point of singing to yourself, if you want to sing it, everyone can hear it!"
"Yes, yes, sing louder, sing well, I will reward him with a golden flower!" Zhu Ying also immediately coaxed.
The one who was singing happily was interrupted by Zhang Shou's beat, and he was still a little hesitant, but when he heard that Miss Zhu, who had always been known for her bold moves, was actually a golden flower as soon as she opened her mouth, he was overjoyed, and immediately sang loudly without thinking about it.
However, before he could sing a few words of this ridiculous tune, a group of people who couldn't stand it hurriedly pressed the person down, and poured three glasses of wine so drunk that he fell to the table. Seeing this scene, Zhu Ying, who drank two more glasses, couldn't help but be so angry that she slapped the table desperately.
Whoever sings well will be rewarded with a flower and will never break his promise!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and immediately there was another guard who boasted of a good voice jumped directly on the stool, and hung a high voice in his voice: "The floating clouds are yin for me, the sad wind is whirling for me, and the three vows are all over the place." ”
Hearing such a beginning, even Zhang Shou, who deliberately urged people to sing, couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp. However, before he could hurriedly call someone to stop, the guard, who had a wonderful male and female voice, spit out the next terrible lyrics.
"Mother-in-law, wait for the snow to fly in June, and the drought will be three years, and then you will be the soul of Dou E!"
In an instant, all the people who had been eating happily on the flowing water table were all calmed.
Even if the eldest lady promises to sing well and the bounty flower, but at noon on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, at the birthday banquet of the eldest lady, what are you singing about the flying snow in June, you kid is a curse...... Or is it begging?
Even the long group of people who had just stepped on the entrance of the village, the officer who looked extremely majestic and mighty on the tall horse in front of his head, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this chanting that seemed to be like a magic sound.
At this moment, his mount seemed to be unable to stand the tune, and suddenly stumbled, and at this moment, the majestic officer, who had been distracted, suddenly slipped down.
Fortunately, he reacted to the situation, and when he fell from the horse, he suddenly lifted his breath, and then supported himself on the ground with one hand, and then suddenly turned forward, and finally landed steadily, but even so, when he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood with his head held high again, he found that a group of people crowded on the table not far away were looking at him with extremely strange eyes. After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly showed a fierce look on his face again.
Although the Xiongwu officer had just almost made a fool of himself, as he got on the horse again, dozens of soldiers followed in unison, and when they were full of momentum and forced towards the entrance of the village, not to mention that someone hurriedly dragged down the guy who was standing on the stool and sang Dou E's injustice, and ordered him to stop, even Zhu Hong and other guards couldn't help but rush over and gather around the head table, full of vigilance.
Although Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying didn't ventilate to them, how could they not beat drums in their hearts with such a posture?
However, Zhu Ying impatiently slashed her hand and put the wine glass on the table, and then asked loudly, "Is the person who came an official or a bandit?"
Seeing that when the officer in charge heard this straightforward question, his whole face was full of horizontal and vertical stupid words, Zhang Shou couldn't help but be more convinced of his previous guess, and immediately got up and smiled.
"What Miss Zhu means is that if it is an official or soldier who comes to help, then she should be invited into the village and drink a glass of birthday wine. If it's a rebel who is wandering, then I'm sorry, there are already more than 20 people trapped in this small meltwater village last night, you might as well try it. ”
The officer easily restored the expression on his face to the ferocity he had imagined, and tried to make his tone as hard as possible: "I have received the news of last night's incident. Although you are all nobles in the capital and have many escorts, is it too much to say that you can easily take down these rebellious ministers and thieves?"
Before anyone could speak, he raised his voice and said, "But before that, hand over those rebels!"
"Why ......" Before Zhang Chen could say a word, he was dragged aside by Lu Sanlang covering his mouth.
Thinking that Lu Sanlang was trying to prevent Zhang Chen from stirring up disputes, the other noble disciples and the entourage guards were as if they were tightening the strings, if they had arrows in their hands at this time, they would definitely let go and let them fly around, and it was all up to luck whether they could shoot or not.
In contrast, the villagers who were still shouting and drinking at the back were incompatible with the tense and heavy atmosphere at the head table, and it was a fire and ice.
The stalemate lasted for a long time, and except for Zhang Chen, who was stopped by bursting out two words, he didn't get any other answer, and the fierce officer seemed to feel a little uncomfortable. He licked his chapped lips and tried to accentuate his tone again: "I'll say it again, hand over all the rebellious troops, otherwise don't blame me for giving an order, and the jade will be burned!"
"If you don't have someone, you have a life, if you have the ability, you can come and get it!"
Zhu Ying's sudden shouting suddenly pushed the stiff atmosphere to the highest point. But the next moment, she finally couldn't help laughing, and then turned her back to rub her stomach: "No, no, Ah Shou, you continue to act, I can't hold back!"
"You can't help but call me?" Zhang Shou also couldn't help laughing, he took a deep breath and easily showed a more serious face, but then coughed dryly, "Okay, don't pretend, Your Excellency's little routine has long been seen through!"
Seeing that the officer was stunned for a moment, and among the soldiers behind him, some people even lowered their heads and snickered, so he smiled and uncovered the mystery.
"It is not difficult for a carriage and a convoy of several horses to pass this small road from the official road, but when your Excellency hundreds of people and horses come from such a small road, the speed of passage is slow. If you really come with bad intentions, not to mention that the rice fields are harvested next to the road, even if it is a green seedling field, it will not be trampled on regardless of the time, because the time is urgent, so you will not waste time coming from the path. ”
"Moreover, whether it is as a fellow party member of the rebellious army, or as an arrogant official who came to dignitaries, or even a little more so, as a person who is responsible for the heavy task of exterminating the mouth and slaughtering the village, Your Excellency has a majestic and powerful image, a decent and rigorous style, and a straightforward and one-eyed speech, which is really ...... Well, don't say that you can't act badly, you can't play the murderer at all, this is the biggest flaw. ”
In fact, this is all nonsense, the most important thing is that he just figured out that he was distorted by Hua Qi before, this kind of henchman of Zhao Guogong will only find out when the ill-intentioned soldiers and horses arrive at the door of the house, and go up to negotiate with a little tragedy?
The officer didn't know what to say. Obviously, he was criticized for acting in a mess first, and then he seemed to be praised? What the hell is this? It wasn't until a cough came from behind him that he came back to his senses.
"Alas, when I patted my chest, I swore by it, but I smashed the pot halfway through the performance, and sure enough, the corner was not well chosen. ”
With this voice, Hua Qi, who was dressed in a pawn uniform, rode out of the rear army, but ignored the angry stare of a group of noble disciples, and asked with a smile: "In addition to these flaws, does Shou Gongzi see anything else?"
Zhang Shou was of course not surprised at all when he saw Hua Qi: "In addition, although I have lived in the countryside for a long time, I have also heard that the horse army is difficult to train. On the ground in Gyeonggi, except for the imperial court, no one can use such an elite horse army of hundreds of people. Otherwise, this is not a peaceful rule of the world, but a war and chaos. ”
Hua Qi immediately laughed: "Your speech is good, you are reasonable." ”
Zhang Shou was not diverted by Hua Qi, and asked with a smile: "The current matter, is it Hua Qiye's temporary intention, or was you ordered to scare us before you came?"
Hearing this, even Zhu Ying, who had just turned around, couldn't help but show a curious expression, not to mention the children of Guijie and the entourage guards who had just been frightened.
"That was my idea. Smiling and smiling for sure, Hua Qi suddenly changed his words again, "Of course, this is impossible." ”
After playing tricks again, he said unhurriedly: "The ministerial meeting agreed to send troops to quell the chaos, and the Empress Dowager specially ordered Xiongwei to bring people over to take a look first, escort those chaotic troops back to Beijing, and scare everyone by the way." The Queen Mother said, although the countryside is good, but there is no city wall, you can have more eyes to protect yourself!"
Seeing that Hua Qi said something well, everyone listened to the shame and embarrassment, but Zhang Shou couldn't help but mutter.
He really couldn't believe this madman...... The matter of falsely spreading Yi's will, Hua Qixing can probably ...... Do you do it?
Of course, it is not excluded that the queen mother who returned to politics is too idle...... Aren't you afraid to scare people to death?
