Chapter 273
"The county lord thinks too much, Siqi is just curious, why didn't the county lord come to borrow troops in person before, could it be that the county lord at that time was really as rumored to be, and he was seriously injured against the peerless master?" Siqi rolled his eyes and began to look left and right about it.
"You're quite smart, you've been injured, but you've already recovered, what, do you want to practice with me?" Although Chen Jia was vigilant in his heart, he deliberately provoked in his mouth.
Chen Jia's pouting and contemptuous look made Siqi's face change and change, but he squinted, but he just shook his head.
In fact, Siqi really wanted to try to see what the gap between himself and Chen Jia was, but thinking of what Cheng Mei said, he still couldn't help but itch his hands.
"Siqi doesn't dare, it's just that Siqi still has something to ask today."
"What?" Chen Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but her face was still unruly.
"Mrs. Mei asked me to ask the county lord, what does it mean to be destined to be a person?" Siqi didn't want to go around the bend, and decisively threw out this question that made him and Cheng Mei puzzled.
"Someone who is destined?"
Chen Jia squinted, what is the relationship between Cheng Mei and this Siqi, how could he tell this person such a private matter?
"Lord Siqi really surprised Chen Jia, my cousin has something to ask me, I can come to ask in person, or send me a letter, how can I borrow your mouth, is it possible, Lord Siqi is not Lord Hou's henchman, but Mrs. Mei's henchman?"
"Mrs. Mei just learned that the county lord came and asked her subordinates to ask, but her subordinates don't know what this question can't ask." Siqi regretted his impulsiveness a little earlier.
"A person who is destined is naturally a person who is destined, can you still ask such a simple meaning? Chen Jia still has something to do, so he won't accompany him! Drive! ”
After Chen Jia finished perfunctorily, he raised the horsewhip with his right hand, and the horse galloped away, leaving Siqi behind him to look at Chen Jia's departing back with complicated feelings.
When Jiang Wenhan heard these three words, he did not hesitate to lend 100,000 troops and give up the city at his fingertips, which shows the position of the destined person in his heart, and he can't do it if he wants to make Siqi believe that the destined person has no special meaning.
……
Chen Jia and Ah Jiu Liuyun galloped all the way, and they didn't go far before they met Yang Mingyuan and others who were waiting near the fork.
"Brother Yang."
"Why did you go for so long. I'm ready to send someone to find it. Yang Mingyuan asked anxiously.
"I'm sorry, it's a leader named Siqi who talked to me all the way."
"It's the one who came to ask for someone that day, right?"
"Brother Yang has clairvoyance, you can guess this."
"Haha, clairvoyance doesn't. It's just that that person is not a thing in the pool at first glance, he must be Jiang Wenhan's confidant. ”
"Maybe! Let's not talk about him, let's hurry up, go back quickly, so as not to change in Changcheng. Chen Jia urged.
"It's fine. Jiang Wenhan wouldn't be stupid enough to do it now, it's just that if you send back his wife and children, he will only be even more careless in the future. Yang Mingyuan also rode up and followed. Although he only has his left hand, it does not affect his heroic posture at all, and he still looks flawless without an arm.
"Brother Yang, hurry up and marry a wife, it's important to have another little marquis."
"I want to get married, but I haven't had that heart in the past few years of war. I'm missing an arm now, and I'm afraid the girls will dislike me and won't want me. ”
"How is it possible, just your face can fascinate a battalion of women." Chen Jia laughed like a bell while teasing.
"It's a pity that I didn't lose you." Yang Mingyuan was also amused by Chen Jia.
"I've been fascinated for a long time, haha, it's just that I have more things to pursue in my life, and I can't give up my life goal for the sake of being obsessed with the scenery on the roadside."
"That's pretty profound, what are your goals?"
"My goal is peace in the world." Chen Jia shook his head, looked like he was on top, and rode his horse to speed up again. In fact, she smiled bitterly in her heart, where is her goal now? I have always been forced to go by fate.
"Then my goal is the same as Chen Jia, may the world be peaceful." Yang Mingyuan smiled with relief, it's good to have a goal!
……
Chen Jia and Yang Mingyuan entered Beijing. Not wanting to meet Jiang Youchun and Sun Aoting at the gate of the city, everyone stopped their horses.
"Why are you here?" Chen Jia asked suspiciously, if it is said that the marquis of the five cities usually enter Kyoto together, the emperor summoned him at the same time, but now except for his brother who has no territory and has not come, Jiang Wenhan has not come either.
"The emperor summoned you." Jiang Youchun said softly. He rode a horse and walked two steps closely, standing side by side with Chen Jia.
"Oh, I'm just weird. Why didn't Jiang Wenhan come? ”
"I don't know, but when I look back and see the emperor, I will understand. By the way, what's going on with the arm of the Marquis of Zhongyong? ”
"Andinghou smiled, he met an old monster and wasted his arm, fortunately there is Chen Jia, otherwise this time Changcheng will be over." Yang Mingyuan looked at Chen Jia with satisfaction.
"So, is there really a peerless master?" Sun Aoting interjected on the side.
"Of course it's true, but he's also injured and is nowhere to be found." Yang Mingyuan nodded hurriedly, his arm was smashed by the man's teacup.
"In this way, Chen Jia's kung fu is now even more powerful than that peerless master." Sun Aoting looked at Chen Jia with bright eyes, with a little admiration, although Chen Jia was very useful, he shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Sun, among the few of us, I can only beat you now!"
"How so?"
"What's going on?"
Sun Aoting and Jiang Youchun blurted out in surprise, the two glanced at each other, and looked at Chen Jia together. Jiang Youchun couldn't help but pat Chen Jia's legs and ankles, for fear that Chen Jia was also missing an arm or a leg or something.
"Dizzy, stop, I'm still all about it, it's just that my internal strength has been lost." Chen Jia hurriedly explained while riding his horse to avoid Jiang Youchun's salty pig hands.
"How can you lose your internal strength?" Jiang Youchun grabbed Chen Jia's right wrist uneasily, and carefully probed a trace of his true qi into it, Chen Jia could only obediently stay still when he saw this, and let him check his meridians.
"How?" Sun Aoting looked at Jiang Youchun anxiously on the side.
"It's okay, it's just that the recovery period is longer." Yang Mingyuan patted Sun Aoting on the shoulder and comforted.
"Why is it okay, Ren Du's meridians are blocked again, I'm afraid that if I want to practice internal strength again, I have to open up the meridians." Jiang Youchun frowned, didn't let go of Chen Jia's hand, and said directly, "I'll help you after the face saint." ”
"No need, I'll figure it out myself."
Chen Jia blushed a little and struggled to break free, and finally rescued his pinched and painful right hand. Chen Jia rubbed his right wrist desperately with his left hand. Trying to relieve pain. She has no internal strength now, where can she withstand Jiang Youchun's grip like this, and poor Hao's wrist eyes turned red when she saw it.
"What can you do, the meridians are blocked or you need to rely on external forces. Or only the legendary Purifying Pill can do it, but the Purifying Pill has not been seen for decades, what do you think you can do? Jiang Youchun saw that her wrists were a little red and swollen, and he began to blame himself in his heart. It's just that he still has a brother's tone on his lips.
"That's not going to work, it's tense right now. If you open up the meridians for me, it will consume your true qi, and it will take a long time to recover, how can this work? Chen Jia said worriedly. Among so many people that Chen Jia knows, in addition to Chen Jia himself, I am afraid that only Jiang Youchun's kung fu is the best, which is also because Jiang Youchun has been studying hard all the time, although he is not very old, he has nearly a Jiazi's skills, which can be regarded as Hinayana.
Of course, except for Wuji's Lin Mufeng. That demon doesn't know what kind of kung fu he practiced, and his progress is very fast, and his kung fu is only a cut above Jiang Youchun.
"That's it, why are you a girl so much, just listen to me." Jiang Youchun has been putting on a big brother's shelf, and Yang Mingyuan was so moved, but Sun Aoting, who knew something inside, couldn't help but pout.
Chen Jia rolled her eyes, and didn't say more, who said that he didn't have any effort now, so he could only let others rub and pinch him.
"Alright. Let's go to the face of the saint first. Seeing this, Sun Aoting made a round, and everyone tightened the reins and headed towards the palace.
……
It was nearly noon, and everyone entered the palace. Naturally, there was no need for an early dynasty, and Father-in-law Dexi directly introduced everyone into the imperial study.
The imperial study has finally changed, and the biggest change is that there is an additional living room inside, which uses a cowhide sofa newly made by Uncle Chen Jia, which looks very magnificent.
"Long live the emperor, ten thousand. Hooray. ”
Everyone knelt on the ground together and saluted Chu Xiuyu.
"Flat."
"Your Majesty."
"Sit down."
Everyone looked at each other, but Chen Jia picked his head and sat on the three-seater on the sofa, Jiang Youchun sat next to Chen Jia when he saw this, and Sun Aoting and Yang Mingyuan went to the two-seater together and sat down separately.
came and dialed the palace maid and served tea to everyone. Placed on the golden silk nanmu coffee table in front of the sofa, Chen Jia secretly called luxury.
Chu Xiuyu made it to the single seat on the side and spoke slowly. "I learned that the border pass was temporarily stable, so I specially summoned a few Aiqing to come and talk about it."
Chen Jia subconsciously shrank back, Chu Xiuyu was talking about Aiqing, but he was a small county lord, how could he be called Aiqing?
Chu Xiuyu realized that Chen Jia was uncomfortable, and the iceberg face showed a hint of softness, which made the other three people puzzled.
"Chen Jia, I heard that you fought against that master of the world and seriously injured that person, it seems that that person is nothing more than that?"
"Chen Jia is just a fluke." Chen Jia said depressedly.
"Have you returned the borrowed soldiers?"
"Ah, does the emperor also know about borrowing troops?" Chen Jia stared at Yang Mingyuan with wide eyes, but saw that Yang Mingyuan was also surprised.
Yang Mingyuan and Chen Jia said that the emperor ordered Jiang Wenhan to go to support, but Yang Mingyuan was not worried about Jiang Wenhan, and Jiang Wenhan was also willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, otherwise how could he borrow troops, and the two cities would join forces to resist the enemy.
"Pingyuan Hou went to the excerpt, saying that you were guarding against him and didn't let him go to support, but just sent someone to borrow troops, he felt wronged, and he had asked me to resign from the position of the marquis, and he also went to the excerpt to tell the deeds of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and asked for a reward for the Marquis of Zhongyong, saying that he was willing to hand over Shengcheng to the Marquis of Zhongyong to take care of it."
When Chu Xiuyu said this, not only Chen Jia's eyes widened in surprise, but the other three also opened their mouths in surprise when they heard this, and gasped.
"What do you think?" Chu Xiuyu looked at Yang Mingyuan while looking at his broken arm, and Yang Mingyuan subconsciously leaned back on the side of the broken arm.
"Your Majesty, it is the minister who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, the Marquis of Pingyuan has been very good at governing Shengcheng, Changcheng has been hit hard by this and there are many things that need to be dealt with, how can the minister have time to take care of another city?"
As soon as Yang Mingyuan opened his mouth, Chen Jia secretly said that it was bad, he was afraid that he would fall behind in the emperor's heart.
"I don't think so, I just think that your two cities are already next to each other, and if you always doubt each other in your heart, it will be very detrimental to the stability of the border pass."
Chu Xiuyu's words made everyone a little confused, did the emperor really plan to teach both Changcheng and Shengcheng to Yang Mingyuan? That's half of Shenghe.
Chen Jia secretly hated in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Jiang Wenhan was still a real villain who would sue behind his back, but if he said the situation now, he was afraid that the emperor would have preconceived that Jiang Wenhan was forced to be helpless, and he and Yang Mingyuan were making excuses.
If he said that he used his wife and children to blackmail him into borrowing soldiers, I was afraid that Chen Jia would become a shameless person in Chu Xiuyu's heart!
"What does the emperor want?" In the end, Chen Jia couldn't help but ask.
"I want to separate the two cities once again, and leave them under the management of the two of you. Marquis Zhongyong is now inconvenient, he is in charge of the political affairs of the two cities, and Jiang Wenhan is responsible for the deployment of troops, what does Yang Aiqing think? ”
Chu Xiuyu's words were extremely harsh in Yang Mingyuan's ears, but Yang Mingyuan only gritted his teeth and said something sullenly. "It's up to the emperor to decide."
"Your Majesty, how can this be done?" Chen Jia was depressed, the city lord who has no military power and only political power is not convincing, not to mention that Jiang Wenhan suddenly has a saint and half of the soldiers and horses, once Jiang Wenhan rebels in the future, who can resist it?
"Your Majesty, the ministers also think it's inappropriate." Sun Aoting interjected.
"Oh, what does Yong'an Hou think?" Chu Xiuyu raised his eyebrows.
"Why didn't the emperor let the Marquis of Pingyuan be in charge of political affairs?"
"Pingyuan Hou is very good at training, earlier you recruited together, which time was not the first time he did it? He said that he had borrowed 100,000 soldiers and horses this time, and he was worried that something would change, so he requisitioned 100,000 militiamen from the civilian sector, and was training and preparing to be recruited, and reported to me. He is already more comfortable in military affairs, not to mention that Yang Aiqing lost his right arm, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go to the battlefield again, and it is for his sake to let him be in charge of political affairs. ”
Chu Xiuyu's words seemed to have some truth, but he didn't know that in Yang Mingyuan's ears, these words were no less than stabbing him in the heart with a knife.
Generally speaking, people with disabilities are much more sensitive to their disabilities than ordinary people imagine, usually, Yang Mingyuan himself does not dare to touch the sadness of the broken arm, but now the emperor has mentioned it three times and twice, how can Yang Mingyuan not die like ashes.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to only be responsible for political affairs, and the emperor can decree it." Yang Mingyuan didn't want to argue anymore, his body trembled slightly, saying this in the hope that this topic would be revealed, it was obvious that he couldn't stand such a stimulus again.
"So be it!" Chu Xiuyu made a final decision, and let Chen Jia and Jiang Youchun's words stick in their throats. (To be continued.) )
