Chapter 250: The World
After eating steamed buns and tea, Chen Qiuniang also decided to go north. But she didn't get up right away, and sat in the corner and listened quietly to the people who came and went.
First, she hasn't been down the mountain for more than two years, so she has to know a thing or two about this world; The second is that there is still a bone-chilling cold in March in Shuzhong, and you have to prepare in many ways to go to the north.
So, instead of acting immediately, she sat bored in the corner, as if quietly watching the people come and go outside the window, but in fact her ears were listening to the voices of discussion in the lobby.
The black-faced man argued with a few people again, and in that speech was quite appreciative of Chai Yu. provoked several supporters of the Zhao clan to refute in a weird way.
"No matter how powerful the Chai clan is, hasn't it never taken the Liao State and pacified the Southern Han Dynasty?" A high-pitched old voice rang out.
"Yo, you have supported the Zhao family? Think about what this Shu has been ruined by him? When the Chai clan was the emperor, even if he destroyed a small country, he did not set up troops to rob and kill the people. The black-faced man spoke sarcastically.
"yes, yes. Look at the wealth in Shu, but my eyes are red, my lord Meng has surrendered, but he Zhao still robbed and killed the people of Shu. Don't you know that my lord Meng went to Bianjing to reason with the Zhao family, but he was angry to death. A young man's voice sounded, with a thick Chengdu accent.
Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but retract her gaze and turned to look at the young man, who was dressed as an extremely ordinary Confucian student, with wide sleeves and wide robes, and the robe on his body could be seen that this young man was quite down. He pressed the sword on his waist with one hand, raised his head with the other, and said, "My lord is naΓ―ve, and he actually believes in a thief like Zhao. It must be known that the Zhao army did not bring military rations on the march, and the prisoners were also cooked. β
As soon as he said this, people talked loudly, saying that this Zhao family was like this.
The shopkeeper couldn't sit still again, and immediately came over again and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't go over it, don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." β
"Shopkeeper, you're so timid. Look at your father and grandfather, who have you ever been afraid of when you open this small inn? "Someone is sarcastic.
"Yes, yes, I'm cowardly, but it's also for you." The shopkeeper laughed.
Everyone shook their heads, and they all chose to ignore the store's storage zΓ i and continue the topic just now.
Someone said that Zhao Kuangyin and others were not good, and some supporters came out to argue: "This Shu military disaster was done by Wang Quanbin." Later, wasn't Wang Quanbin demoted? β
"Joke, the Zhao family didn't like Wang Quanbin in the first place. Wang Quanbin's ambition was too great, he plundered Shu, and demoted his henchmen, and the Zhao family was even insidious. The young man continued, and someone next to him nodded in agreement.
"Nonsense." The person who supported the Zhao family couldn't say any more, so he turned to say, "The people of the northern land are not happy, the war has been raging for several years, although Sejong is brave, but he died suddenly, how can that immature child be able to suppress the soldiers from all sides who are about to move." The Zhao clan is saving the people of the northern land from fire and water, and didn't they defeat 60,000 Liao people with 3,000 people at the end of last year? What a great honor it is to defeat the Liao? Since Tang Zong, the Central Plains has suffered a slight defeat against the Hu people. How can you blame Wang Quanbin's old puppet for his faults. β
"Huh. How much do you know about politics? Sejong was young and strong, so he died violently? The Zhao family is a close minister of Sejong. The young man continued to retort.
"What's the use of talking about that. For the common people, it is enough to live a peaceful life. An old man with a white beard sitting in the hall spoke.
"This master is more knowledgeable than you." The person who supported Zhao Kuangyin immediately seemed to have found a backer, and praised the old man instead.
The old man didn't pay any attention to it, but just "snorted", got up on crutches and walked outside the inn, saying as he went: "Today's discussion is very boring. Old decay is gone. β
After the old man left, people didn't have much interest in continuing to discuss who was more suitable for this world between the descendants of the Chai family and the Zhao family. As soon as the argument between the two sides stopped, the people at each table chatted again.
Chen Qiuniang sat in this lobby, capturing information from all sides. The people chatted with each other, and soon someone jumped out to say what they had seen. Someone said that the party people in the northwest were about to move, and Zhao Kuangyin was attacking the Southern Han and Northern Han again, and he had to prevent the Liao. His generals Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Yang Ye and others had no time to withdraw, so they sent Cao Can, who was guarding Chengdu Mansion, to guard the northwest.
"Ah, isn't Cao Can Cao Bin's son? Speaking of Wang Quanbin, in the chaos of Shu, Cao Bin sent troops to protect the people's property, and finally escorted Wang Quanbin back to Bianjing. When someone heard about Cao Can, they immediately talked about these anecdotes, so as not to make people think that he was quite knowledgeable.
"Yes, yes. That Cao Can's young hero, after Shu surrendered, Chengdu Mansion was guarded by him. Someone immediately chimed in.
"The party is very cunning. Can a teenager hold on? Hehe, in addition to Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others, doesn't the Zhao family still have the Zhang family in Shuzhong? Speaking of which, Zhang Yongde is still Zhao Kuangyin's boss. The black-faced man who was sarcastic about Zhao Kuangyin said loudly again.
When he mentioned Zhang Yongde, he stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the people around him opened the conversation. For a while, no one said how Zhao Kuangyin was, but they were all talking about the Zhang family.
"That Zhang Yongde is also a general, you see that Zhao Kuangyin just took him with him, but he didn't let him lead the soldiers. If you talk about it, the northwest is also an important area, and the party members are ready to move, and they have to be powerful veterans to be able to suppress it. This Zhao family must be afraid of the Zhang family. "Someone said.
Immediately someone smirked and said, "That must be the case." I am the Zhang clan in Shu, a thousand-year-old general, but the Zhang clan is all beautiful and good at riding and shooting, but they are more romantic than the legendary celebrities. There are really not many people in the Zhang family's lineage, side branches, and branches, and there must be a lot of private soldiers in their hands. Then the Zhao family must be scared. β
"Isn't it? The Zhang family still has firearms, have you heard? A man in Tsing Yi next to him asked aloud.
When Chen Qiuniang heard the word "firearm", her heart sank, and she couldn't help but look at the person. But I saw that the man was just an ordinary man, and he did not have any trace of disguise. Chen Qiuniang thought that it was about Zhang Ci who made too much trouble in Zhuxi Lake, and the world would know the firearms of the Zhang family.
When everyone heard about the "firearms", some people were confused and very confused, and a few people who knew how to describe the situation in Zhuxi Mountain that day. After the description, he also said with a sigh: "The second son of the Zhang family is the patriarch of the Zhang family, not to mention the use of private soldiers for a female baby, but also the use of firearms, and the soldiers of several state capitals have been mobilized." This gesture is very elegant and very romantic. β
Chen Qiuniang listened to this person's tone, and she was still praising Zhang Ci. She thought of Zhang Ci's various expressions on Zhuxi Lake that day, and her heart was warm. At that time, the two of them didn't have a word, but he was willing to come to the rescue.
She thought of Zhang Ci's heart, but there was a little throbbing pain, because she didn't know when she would be able to see him, and she didn't know when the tragic fate of the two could be reversed.
Su Qingyuan said: The fate of some people in this world is extremely terrible and extremely difficult, but because this person is too strong, he can change his name against the sky. Therefore, fate is not absolute.
Chen Qiuniang knew that it was the master who was encouraging her, telling her not to despair, as long as she learned her skills well, the sun rose and the moon set, and the stars changed, and the situation in the world would change. Then, fate will have a chance for the Jedi to strike back at some point.
It's just that she doesn't want to wait until she is old, and she hasn't waited for that opportunity. She wants to give herself a chance.
"Ah, it seems that I love that girl very much." Someone said with a sigh.
"Where. I heard my younger brother who was a soldier in Linqiong Mansion say that he saved her, and the second son said in front of everyone that she had fallen into a den of bandits and was already unclean, so she was divided. Someone said again.
For a while, the Xiaolou inn sighed for a long time, saying that he didn't expect this noble and elegant young general to be such a shallow person. Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but think: If Zhang Ci heard others comment on him like this here, I don't know what kind of face he would have.
"You actually misunderstood the young general." A teenager said loudly.
Because her voice was too clear and clean, and she was complaining about Zhang Ciming, Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the young man. The young man was dressed in a white robe, with a purple crown and bundled hair, red lips and white teeth, and slender eyebrows, but he had a woman's appearance and bright eyes. The clothes on his body are all the clothes of rich and noble families.
This is a rare beautiful man, but this face looks very familiar. Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but think about it, but she was very sure that she had never seen this young man.
"Xiao Langjun seems to know the inside story?" Someone who is doing good things immediately asks.
The young man opened the fan and said, "Haven't you heard that in the early autumn of the previous year, the old thief Wang Quanbin died in the Min River in Dujiangyan?" β
"I've never heard of this. Wasn't Wang Quanbin's old thief already demoted to another country? Someone replied.
The young man said hatefully: "That degraded official is just a disguise, I didn't rob the Shu Palace enough, so I just came back to find out if there was any treasure in the Shu Palace." Among them, the girl was arrested. β
"The girl?" Some people are slow to react in their brains, but they are not slow to respond in their mouths, so they immediately ask.
Chen Qiuniang frowned, thinking that these things were so secret, who was this young man, and he knew this? And I don't know what the intention is to say it on such an occasion. She decided in her heart that she wanted to pay more attention to this person.
"That girl's grandmother used to be Mrs. Hua Rui's nurse, and she had something to do with the Shu Palace. In addition, he was previously friendly with Zhang Ergongzi. The old thief thought that the Zhang clan also coveted the treasure of the King of Shu as much as they did. is to arrest the girl and threaten the second son of Zhang. When the young man said this, he fanned the folding fan and took another sip of water, which fully whetted everyone's appetite.
"Say it, say it. Xiao Langjun is going to grind. The crowd urged.
The young man said: "In the end, on the rope bridge of Nadu Jiangyan, Zhang Ergongzi fought with the old thief, and the old thief fell into the water and died. The girl also unfortunately fell into the water. β
"Yikes." The crowd lamented.
Someone said: "That girl should be blind when she dies, Zhang Ergongzi and her have long been in the Chu River and Han realms, and they can ignore her in the first place." β
"You don't understand. The young man meant that Zhang's tree was a big move, and even the Zhuxi Mountain to catch this girl was also aimed at Zhang Ergongzi. Zhang Ergongzi must have loved the girl very much, so he said the words of grace in front of everyone. It's a pity that Zhang Ergongzi's hard work still failed to protect this girl. An extremely intelligent person said this, and after speaking, he asked the young man, "Xiao Langjun, am I talking about it or not?" β
The young man nodded and said, "Childe is smart. After the girl fell into the water, Zhang Ergongzi had already listed the tablet of his deceased wife, and the name was this girl. β
The crowd once again exclaimed, and most of them were envious of Chen Qiuniang. said that the elegant and noble Zhang Ergongzi, the young hero, and the Zhang family, turned out to be such an infatuated person, and although the girl was only eleven years old, she could be treated like this by someone like Zhang Ergongzi, it was really better than those women who had lived for hundreds of years.
Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes and thought to herself: It turns out that I am really enviable.
"I also heard that the second son Zhang was not summoned to Bianjing because he had to keep a vigil for his deceased wife for three years?" Someone asked the boy.
"Yes." The young man nodded, and then said with disdain: "The Zhao family is very hateful. Thinking about the Zhang clan, there are countless talents in the clan, extremely elegant, talented, but beautiful and good at riding and shooting. Zhang's private soldiers are brave and good at fighting, plus they have firearms in hand, if they want the throne, is it not easy to get it? But in the past thousand years, how has the Zhang family ever moved the throne? Joining the office is just to keep the peace of the world. Now, the Zhao family has detained Zhang Yongde by his side, and he has repeatedly wanted to detain Zhang Ergongzi in Bianjing. A rotting rat in hand, I thought everyone wanted it. β
When the people heard him say this, they nodded their heads. Someone said: "If you annoy the Zhang family, I'm afraid that even if the Zhang family doesn't want his rotting rat, they will rob it and give it to others." β
"Exactly, exactly." People echoed it. Speaking of the nobles in Shu, these people will also feel that it is glorious.
Chen Qiuniang felt that this person was going too far to say such things in public, so she looked at the young man carefully and frowned slightly. Suddenly, the young man's gaze swept over, and that gaze was unscrupulous, a kind of gaze from a person who had been in a high position since childhood.
He probably felt Chen Qiuniang's scrutiny, and his gaze was quite unfriendly. Chen Qiuniang only glanced at him, and then looked out the window.
"Who are you, that man?" The young man was rude, and shouted as he stood up.
Chen Qiuniang looked at the scenery outside the window and ignored it. But everyone looked at her suspiciously, and the young man walked quickly to her desk and asked, "Look at your expression, as if you don't agree with what I say." Who are you? β
The young man's tone was not good, Chen Qiuniang did not stand up, still sat in the corner, raised her eyes to look at the young man, and said, "Your Excellency is dressed luxuriously, and it must be from a rich family." Standing so proudly, he must be a master, and he must be a descendant in the family. With red lips and white teeth, with such a face, parents will not be ordinary people. β
When the young man heard Chen Qiuniang say this, his face showed a look of pride. Chen Qiuniang still said in a calm tone, "However, Your Excellency's cultivation is a little worse. This small inn is not a place for people like you to come, and since you are not a guest of this inn, you should not come to such a mixed place. In addition, since he is the son of a big family, why didn't he know to report his family before asking people's names? β
When Chen Qiuniang said this, the young man's face turned red for a while, his expression was embarrassed, and he moved his lips and couldn't speak. R1152
