Chapter 108: What Happened (Part I)
Nearly ten horsemen from the direction of Jianxinzhai in the northwest corner of the capital rode like a vanguard in the battle, raising the dust behind the horses and going straight to the Xizhi Gate. Although these people are dressed as housekeepers, if you look closely, they are all brocade clothes and ermines, and they have the air of wealth and arrogance, and those soldiers guarding the city of Xizhimen are about to step forward to stop and inquire, but this group of knights is the first to shout angrily.
"The people of the Chengguo Mansion are back in Beijing to report urgently, get out of the way!"
"The British government gate returned to Beijing to report urgently, get out of the way!"
"The people of the Dingguo Mansion are back in Beijing to report urgently, get out of the way!"
"Linhuai Marquis ......"
"...... Marquis of Zhenyuan"
"Fengcheng Hou ......"
“……”
The soldiers defending the city were so frightened that they didn't dare to step forward, and turned their heads to whisper to the officer leading the team: "General Banner, look at this ......"
The general banner was only about thirty years old, and at this time his throat moved, and he said with difficulty: "Let them go, let them go." ”
The soldiers defending the city first nodded, then hesitated for a moment, and asked: "But we haven't checked the customs defense and waist cards yet, in case we ask from above, isn't it a little ......?"
"Smack!" The general flag snapped to the ground, half-truths and half-truths slapped the soldier's big hat, and said angrily: "Blind your mother's dog eyes? What to check, in this group of people just now, who the didn't you see who the head was? That is the fifth master Zheng who is waiting for the little grandfather Ying Zhen in the Chengguo Mansion! ”
Another young soldier, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, was a little unconvinced, and asked: "It's just a family member in the Chengguo Mansion, so swaggering to break the door, aren't you afraid of patrolling the city and causing trouble to the Chengguo Grandpa?" ”
"Yoh? I said Li Shan'er, if you remember correctly, it was your brother who took the Xiucai exam, but it wasn't your kid who took the Xiucai exam! Well? What's the matter, there's a talented man at home? Speaking with the old taste? The general flag squinted his eyes and stared at the young soldier, pouting: "The old man of the imperial history is powerful, but which old man of the imperial history is idle and has nothing to do, and he makes fun of the grandfather of Chengguo?" What's more, Grandpa Chengguo is a noble leader, and he has always been in charge of the defense of the Beijing Division, and his family has something urgent to report, do you dare to say that it is not for urgent military affairs? If you delay a big event, how many heads do you kid have, can you afford to eat sin? ”
This reason seems to be very reasonable, and the surrounding soldiers have spoken out in response, and the general flag is even more proud, pointing to Li Shan'er and saying: "Boy, if it weren't for your father's sake, I wouldn't have bothered to teach you: Although the board of the old man patrolling the city is big, he can't beat the butts of people like you and me, but the grandfather of Chengguo is different, let alone the old man, even if it is his grandson Ying Zhen's little grandfather, he said that he wanted to pick your skin today, and your stinky skin will not be able to keep his mother's iron!" ”
When he said this, he snorted coldly: "Do you know why? Because we are all fucking people from Beijing, Chengguo Grandpa, British Grandpa, and Dingguo Grandpa are the leaders of our Jingying for a hundred years! Damn, it's a copycat horse bandit, the big boss wants to kill a small ringing horse, isn't it a matter of one sentence, not to mention those of us who have been soldiers for generations to eat food? Do you dare to offend them? Ha, boy, don't worry about your own death, don't pull us to back your back, we guys, but you have to point to Chengguo's grandfather and them to eat! ”
The soldier who was the first to speak became more and more angry when he saw that the general flag was training, and he was afraid that Li Shan'er would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "The chief flag master is angry, Li Shan'er has only been over with his father for two or three months, and he doesn't understand anything, so don't be like a hairy boy like him, no!" Besides, General Banner, don't you think the situation just now is a little strange? ”
The general banner originally wanted to reprimand, but the soldier in front of him has always been cunning, and he is usually quite clever, as soon as he asked, he successfully diverted the attention of the general banner, and subconsciously asked: "What's strange?" Fan Lao Er, you make it clear. ”
The second fan hurriedly said: "General Banner, have you always found out, just now these masters reported their own door, but the lords who can be called in our Beijing camp have almost reported all over the time!" ”
"Oh?" The general flag rolled his eyes and said in surprise: "It's true!" What does that mean, though, ......? ”
Fan Lao Er said: "Do you remember that in the morning, the old man from Gaoge's hometown also beat us out here?" And the little marquis of the Linhuai Hou family from Nanjing, who also beat us here? ”
Zongqi was a little puzzled: "So what? ”
Fan Lao Er said: "At noon, the little one went to eat, and I heard the people of Daxing Zuowei say that the little grandfather Ying Zhen and the little grandfather of Yuangong were about that time, and they went out at the Desheng Gate." ”
Zongqi waved his hand: "Lao Tzu is the Yongqing Left Guard, just care about the Xizhi Gate, the matter of the Daxing Left Guard is not clear...... But even if it is, so what? ”
Fan Lao Er hurriedly explained: "General Banner, think about it, these two groups of people combined, aren't they brought out by the young masters who were waiting for this group of old men just now?" It's just the little old man who reads! ”
"Huh? Don't say it, it's true. The general flag finally understood what Fan Lao Er meant, but he always felt that there was still a layer left to figure out, and asked, "Could it be that they have encountered something?" But why didn't the high attendant send someone back? ”
Fan Lao Er lowered his eyebrows and said smoothly: "General Banner asked well, it seems that Master Zongqi also thinks that this matter must be related to the little master, and it must be a big deal, otherwise this spring outing is only about three hours, why did he send someone to rush back?" ”
"Huh? Ah, yes, yes, yes, I think so too......" Zongqi pretended to groan, was a little reserved, and couldn't help asking: "But what big things can Gao Shi Read?" He is the prince's companion, and he is not a big Sima, so he should have nothing to do with these masters on our heads. ”
Li Shan'er really couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily: "That Gao Shiyu is a civil official, and he is the author of the "Dragon Wen Whip Shadow" that has been rumored in Beijing recently, but he can't go to talk about poetry and painting with this group of little grandfathers and little marquis, he can only do other things." In addition to paving the road of the prince's close ministers with the book "Longwen Whip Shadow", this high-ranking attendant has become very famous for two things, one is to assist Liu Zongrong to quell the bandits in Baili Gorge, and the other is to offer soap to Grandpa Banzai......"
When the general flag heard this, he nodded smartly: "Your kid is finally smarter, it seems that Gao Shiyu mentioned the matter of suppressing bandits to the little grandfather." ”
He naturally felt that Gao Pragmatic could only talk about military affairs when he found a group of noble children.
Fan Lao Er smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still squeezed out a smile and said, "What the general flag said is reasonable. However, ......" is known to everyone, "but", "but" and other words are said after the real key, even the general flag has understood, knowing that he must have guessed wrong, but after all, he can't lose face in front of his subordinates, and he coughed dryly at the moment, and said: "However, the offering of soap is also a big deal, maybe it is also related to this incident just now?" ”
Fan Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief and said busily: "General Banner Mingjian, that's exactly the case." ”
