Chapter 118
There are five days to go before the New Year, the entire Dali Dynasty, everywhere is a lively and festive scene, purchasing New Year's goods, selling things, everyone is busy a little, but also happy.
At this time, outside the south city gate, a team of thousands of soldiers and horses pressed like a black cloud, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city immediately became nervous, raised the weapons in their hands and shouted: "Who is coming?" ”
The leader of those soldiers and horses was a young man in a blue robe, and with a slight wave of the young man's hand, thousands of soldiers and horses immediately stopped abruptly, and stopped neatly outside the city gate, without a trace of noise and panic.
Next to the young man, a man in his twenties with a five-centimeter-long scar on his cheek came out of the horse and shouted: "General Ouyang, the bandit general appointed by the emperor, has arrived, why don't you let us in quickly, you have delayed the business, can you afford to pay the responsibility!" ”
"General Ouyang?" One of the officers and soldiers guarding the city at a short point said with some doubts, "I haven't heard of it, you ......" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the officers and soldiers of another higher point, "It turns out that General Ouyang is back, please come in." So saying, he opened the gate.
The officers and soldiers at the lower point seemed to want to say something, but they were suddenly pulled aside by the officers and soldiers at the higher point, and scolded in a low voice: "You don't want to live anymore, your surname is Ouyang, and you are still a general, don't you know who he is!" ”
The shorter officer and soldier were newcomers, and they really didn't know about this, so they asked with some doubts: "Who?" ”
The officers and soldiers at the higher point stretched out the officers and soldiers who fell on the lower point, "What I usually say to you, you take it as the wind in your ears, this capital surnamed Ouyang is a general, who else is there besides the Marquis of Zhongyong."
This general is a little young, needless to say, he is also the little marquis of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, you dare to stop him, you are really impatient. ”
The name of the Marquis of Zhongyong, the entire Dali Dynasty is known to everyone, no one knows, the shorter officers and soldiers were shocked when they heard it, and while wiping the sweat on their faces, they were glad that they had escaped just now.
At this time, at an intersection, Ouyang Jun asked his officers and soldiers to go to the barracks to stand by, while he and two other people stopped there.
After the baptism of blood in the past few months, Ouyang Jun has become a lot more resolute, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, without deliberateness, are full of terrifying murderous aura, which is the confrontation between blood and flesh, practiced again and again in life and death, deep into the bone marrow, from the inside out.
Next to him, the man with a scar on his face who spoke just now, if there is someone from the Tian family, he must be able to recognize that this person is none other than Tian Lao Wu who fled after killing someone.
Next to Tian Lao Wu is a man with a face like a crown of jade, about twenty years old, wearing a Confucian shirt, a wide robe and big sleeves, as if he is a scholar, but he is not as weak as other scholars at all, but has a rock-like temperament, and at first glance he is a military teacher.
This person, the Tian family may not know, but he is inextricably linked with the Tian family, his surname is Di, his name is Boxiu, and he is the husband who Ruan Zhuqin thought had died in the flood.
The things in the world are so coincidental that Di Boxiu was swept away by the flood, but was rescued by Tian Lao Wu.
After he was rescued, he was worried about his relatives at home, and he also went back to see it, but it had already become a ruin, and he had no choice, so he followed Tian Lao Wu into Ouyang Jun's army, helping to suppress bandits while looking for the whereabouts of his relatives.
Di Boxiu is a scholar, with a splendid chest, in these armies that don't know a lot of words except for Ouyang Jun, he naturally stands out, and together with Tian Laowu, he has become Ouyang Jun's right and left hand.
And he inquired all the way, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and he finally heard the news of Ruan Zhuqin, and some people said that he saw her come to the capital with a baby.
I can't wait to fly to the capital with my wings, but it was the critical moment to suppress the bandits, Tian Lao Wu has the grace to save his life, and Ouyang Jun has the grace to know him, so he naturally can't abandon everyone and ignore it, so he can only endure it all the time, until now, he finally came to the capital.
Di Boxiu couldn't wait to find Ruan Zhuqin immediately, but in the huge capital, it was not easy to find someone, so he looked around at a loss, and he didn't know where to start.
Ouyang Jun knew a little bit about Di Boxiu, so he said: "Don't worry, look for it slowly, I will go to report to the emperor in a while, and when I come back, I can also help you find it." ”
Naturally, Dibersea was grateful.
Ouyang Jun looked at Tian Lao Wu, "Xiaonan, you were recruited by me from Lingnan at that time, but I know from your accent that you should also be from the capital." ”
Liaonan is the name of the person who Tian Lao Wu replaced, and now, it is also Tian Lao Wu's name.
Lingnan belongs to the south, and the accent and various habits of the people in the world are very different from those in the north, but in the south, the military service recruited from a small mountain village not only does not know those military service from the same village, but the way of speaking, eating habits, etc. are the same as those in the capital, how can Ouyang Jun not doubt it.
It's just that he knows that these things will not affect his plan to suppress bandits, so he hasn't said it, but now that he has arrived in the capital, he feels that he should talk about it, otherwise, there may be some trouble in the future.
Tian Lao Wu was tense and looked at Ouyang Jun with some surprise.
Ouyang Jun waved his hand, "I don't mean to blame you, let's live and die together several times, what can't be said." After saying this, he looked at Tian Lao Wu with burning eyes, hoping that he could believe him and explain things clearly.
Tian Lao Wu lowered his head, he didn't know whether to say it or not, he didn't know if the government had sent someone to arrest him after he killed someone, if so, if he admitted it like this, wouldn't it be tantamount to throwing himself into the net, if that was the case, he would rather carry the name of Liaonan for the rest of his life.
What's more, the Tian family has expelled him from the clan, even if he calls back to his original name, he is just a rootless duckweed, what is the difference between it and now.
"It's true that I have an accent in the capital, but that's because my father fostered me at my aunt's house in the capital since I was a child." Tian Lao Wu casually said an excuse.
Ouyang Jun looked at Tian Lao Wu again, "Since you don't want to say it, then forget it." With that, he rode straight to the palace.
When he left, Di Boxiu immediately said goodbye to Tian Lao Wu and went to find Ruan Zhuqin's whereabouts.
Tian Lao Wu was left alone in the middle of the road, he looked at the streets around him full of New Year's flavor, his heart was full of sorrow, and finally, he hit a dozen horses and went straight to the direction of Tianjia Village outside the city.
