Chapter 67: The Plan Begins 3
Zuo Chen's understanding of Chen Xu was only limited to the border barracks eight years ago. If you want to know what he needs now, you have to cut through the mess quickly. Zhang Kang's rude behavior, Zuo Chen's deliberate contempt for Chen Xu and the state of the soldiers on duty, was to see whether he, Chen Xu, was a cat and mouse between the garrison department's yamen and his subordinates.
"Who is it! Who is going to tie someone up! Chen Xu, who turned around, Zuo Chen couldn't see his face, and he scared the soldiers on duty into silence, and the four of them all saw it in their eyes. Seeing that the soldiers were silent, Chen Xu casually pointed to a soldier, "Who do you say?" ”
"Huh... Report... Senior... It's Captain Shi, who said he was going to tie up... They ......," said the soldier, in a trance. Compared with offending Director Chen, the captain is insignificant, such a simple little Jiujiu, that soldier can still calculate clearly.
"Committed a crime of disrespect at the entrance of the Kyoto Garrison Division! It can be famous for eternity. I tied him up and left him to be court-martialed. Chen Xu was concise and to the point, without the slightest hesitation. After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked at Zuo Chen and didn't speak, "You see this treatment, are you still satisfied?" The look couldn't be more obvious.
Zuo Chen was very satisfied with Chen Xu's disposition, and he couldn't turn up the waves of pity in his heart for the scum of the dog fighting people. This kind of person dares to do this with the little power in his hand, and staying in the army is also a replay of rat, and there are fewer such people in the army, maybe the water will not be very mixed. Zuo Chen thought like this, and remembered the benefits of the quality education of soldiers in the army in his previous life, and slandered in his heart, even if he used the education methods of his previous life to apply them to the current unhealthy social mechanism, it was tantamount to "a blind man lights the lamp, and waxes in vain!" ”
"Bothering Uncle Chen, come to your house to ask for a bowl of tea to drink? Staying under the sun for so long, I'm really thirsty. Zuo Chen's words changed so quickly, like the rain in June, it came as soon as it was said. Originally, he complained to Chen Xu with a bitter face, but in a blink of an eye, it was cloudy and sunny, and his face was full of hippie smiles.
Chen Xu smiled, very sincerely. Although, Zhang Kang was standing beside Chen Xu, and he didn't even look at him if he didn't greet him, he didn't care. Sincere laughter comes from the heart, and it can't be fake on the face.
It wasn't until the living room was seated according to the guest and host, Chen Xu still had a smile on his face, and he rarely appreciated Zhang Youcai and Zhang Kang's sitting, for Zhang Kang's stubborn refusal to sit down, Chen Xu personally got up and treated him politely, and sat down unwillingly under Zuo Chen's eyes. When Zhang Kang knew that he was coming to meet Chen Xu, he had the intention of blocking the latter, he despised Chen Xu's behavior, and did not dare to use his fists and kicks on the court officials, so he embarrassed him with offensive words and actions.
"Uncle Shi, I haven't seen you for eight years, and you still look so powerful and full of energy."
“…… My nephew really can talk. Alas, old! In the blink of an eye, you have grown so tall, and you were still a bean-sized baby at that time. Chen Xu said softly, looking at Zhang Youcai and the others, his smile was a little bitter.
"I think...... Are you ...... The sword is not old, just look at the soldiers cultivated in your barracks, 'take a glimpse and know the whole leopard', I have learned their kung fu, that guy is playing the knife straight to the point, the old spicy and skillful even my Liu family knife skills can be seen through at a glance, I really admire! Zuo Chen's eyebrows fluttered, he gave Chen Xu a thumbs up, and nodded with his lips pursed.
If it is seen by someone who does not know, Zuo Chen's words and expressions must be a great praise for Chen Xu's ability to educate soldiers, and he will be respectfully admired at a glance. But Chen Xu knew that it didn't mean that, this was merciless sarcasm, this was shaking his mouth without scruples!
When Zhang Youcai heard this, he naturally understood what Zuo Chen meant, but they were all puzzled, how could the son's language be so sharp! Looking at his unbearable exaggerated expression, it seems that he is really singing praises for Chen Xu, where does it look like he was once hunted down and killed by Chen Xu's subordinates, this is clearly praise!
Chen Xu listened to Zuo Chen's words, and the smile on his face was like frost petals, inadvertently swept by the wind, and pieces were separated from the flowers. Gently closed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and did not speak for a long time, Chen Xu, who was sitting on the main seat, looked like a clay sculpture in the temple, but there were obvious ups and downs in his breathing.
Zuo Chen, who was sipping tea, ignored Chen Xu's reaction, poured the tea himself, and poured it again after drinking. The focused look is like a tea-loving tea customer who is really thirsty, very tasteful and elegant.
The other three looked at each other and looked at each other. Zhang Youcai and Wu Jiang shook their heads with a slight smile, they both despised Chen Xu in their hearts, could they be fooled by pretending to be asleep? Zhang Kang pursed his lips, turned his head to look out of the living room, the sparrow that had just fallen on the stone steps, tilted his head and peeked into the living room, and found that Zhang Kang's unkind gaze flew up suddenly, startling a few sparrows that had not yet landed, and followed it farther and farther away.
"It's all rats! Just to give you a look, it's scared like this! Zhang Kang said something for no reason, and he didn't look back loudly, like talking to himself, more like he meant something.
Everyone in the room looked at the back of his head, including Chen Xu, who opened his eyes.
"I said I didn't know, do you believe me?" Chen Xu looked at the back of Zhang Kang's head blankly, and without waiting for everyone to answer, no one was willing to answer, and said: "Actually, ......, I don't believe it either!" But in fact, I really didn't know at the time that you were going to be the one who was going to be hunted down. ”
Zhang Youcai saw that Zuo Chen was still drinking tea expressionlessly, and his resentment could no longer be suppressed, "You said that you don't know, so you pushed things away?" Even for ordinary people, this is a dereliction of duty! Under the command of the general of the border barracks, not to mention that you are a general, even if it is our own soldiers, which one dares to act rashly and against conscience? You don't know, you certainly don't know how sad Childe and I were when we knew that the order to hunt and kill came from the Kyoto Garrison, what a general feeling it was, you may never experience it! ”
The outburst of resentment caused Zhang Youcai's chest to rise and fall violently, and his red face and eyes were red, "Also, you are used to doing such despicable and dirty things, it is already commonplace!" ”
With Zhang Youcai's words, Chen Xu's face was like the water swept by a strong wind, and he could no longer be calm. When he heard his last sentence, his body was like the captain who was kicked by Zhang Kang, and he suddenly stood up and trembled!
Zuo Chen looked at Chen Xu coldly, biting his lip with his teeth, and slowly loosened the clenched fist in his left hand. Chen Xu is a combination of contradictions, the surprise of seeing Zuo Chen, the harshness of the scolding soldiers, the deep affection for the people who are together and the chagrin for the past mistakes, just a few tea times, showing them one by one in him. Is it a show? Zuo Chen said with certainty that no one can portray such complex emotions vividly!
Wu Jiang slapped his thigh hatefully, stood up and walked outside the house, even if Chen Xu saved his life on the battlefield, in the face of right and wrong, Wu Jiang would not say a good word or give him a word of comfort.
"Wu Jiang! See if the sky can thunder? Split such a heartless and despicable villain! The general of the province is reluctant to kill, and he is still alive in the world to do evil. Zhang Kang shouted to Wu Jiang with a straight voice.
"Shut up, you! The general's decision must have an ulterior motive, and you are willing to kill you! Wu Jiang said, took out a long knife and handed it to Zhang Kang with his backhand.
"You've got a knife! The knife on my body is a piece of wood? He glared at Wu Jiang disdainfully, picked up the teacup and drank it up, "Dog's day!" It's my fault!? With the words, the teacup slammed on the coffee table with a "bang", and suddenly fell apart.
Chen Xu, who was red-eyed, roared: "You are all wrong! It's all my fault! ”
Zhang Kang, who was about to jump up, pointed at Chen Xu with his eyes wide open, "It's your fault!" It's so loud, it's justifiable! ”
Zhang Kang's character is like this, he will never say two, in addition to the general Liu Shangwu in the border barracks, even Chen Dong is helpless against his unforgiving temperament, because his reason is so simple, if you are right, you can be justified, and if you are wrong, you have to accept and admit your mistakes! You Chen Xu made a mistake and acted confidently, and immediately rushed into Zhang Kang's trachea, suppressed the anger in his stomach, and finally burst out and shouted.
Chen Xu is like ice frozen by flowing water, his flowing and rushing state of mind coupled with Zhang Kang's high temperature exploded, just one round, and he completely melted into the chair. The soft body is like a lepi dog that has been pumped out of the skeleton, not to mention barking, and even the strength to stand up has been sucked away.
"Actually, now it's almost pointless to say whether you arranged to hunt me down, it happened recently, and I'm still alive." Zuo Chen looked at Chen Xu's expression as he spoke, to confirm whether he was listening, "The grudge nephew of the previous generation doesn't want to interfere too much, and when it comes to the nephew's life, he will naturally not be soft." So what my nephew is most concerned about now is who is behind the scenes, you should know or be able to guess. After finishing speaking, he quietly waited for Chen Xu's reply.
Zuo Chen's purposeful words were to ask Chen Xu for an attitude or a position. Zuo Chen's father and Chen Xu are brothers, after all, they are not directly related to Zuo Chen, to put it bluntly, it is an extension of the bond relationship, it depends on what kind of explanation Chen Xu gives to Zuo Chen now. Continue to maintain the bond relationship, Chen Xu is still Zuo Chen's uncle, and if the bond relationship is broken, it is the same milk as Zuo Chen's enemy cat and mouse, so there is no affection.
Chen Xu's silence did not arouse Zuo Chen's emotional changes, he had already prepared before he came to see Chen Xu, stood up and signaled to Zhang Kang and others to go home, and neither side had the proper courtesy when saying goodbye. Zuo Chen, who was about to leave the living room, turned around and looked at Chen Xu, who was still with his eyes closed, "Tell Li Ziqin that I am ready for him to come and kill me at any time, and if it happens, let him wash his neck and wait for me!" ”
