Chapter 0124: Reunion after a long absence
East of Chang'an City, near Guangming Chengxiang outside Xuanping Gate.
In a secluded small village, an old man with a slightly white beard is standing in the corner of the courtyard with a stick, directing several young people who are in a hurry to make a fire on the stove to cook rice.
"Don't blow violently, aim at Mars from the side, blow slowly and breathe!"
"It's on! Hurry up, go to the firewood! ”
Looking at a few young men with black faces, they finally lit a fire in the stove, and the old man turned around panting again: "Why haven't you scooped up rice yet?" ”
"Huh! Clumsy! ”
"In the past, in the palace, one race and one clever, why didn't you realize that you were so stupid?"
After a few words, the old man's forehead was already full of sweat, and the cold wind blew, which suddenly caused the old man to shiver.
"When the rice is cooked, it will be brought into the house with the medicine."
Tightening the placket of his clothes, and with a little gasp for the next sentence, the old man turned around and walked towards the only dilapidated thatched house in the courtyard.
Just as he was about to cross the threshold, he heard a loud voice on the street outside the door: "But I haven't seen it for more than a month, Wang Weng's majesty, but it's getting more and more pressing!" ”
Turning back suspiciously, he saw a middle-aged man of medium stature with a dark face, and a tall, thin middle-aged man dressed as a scribe and carrying a food box outside the half-human height fence, standing outside the courtyard wall and looking at him with great interest.
The old man was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took two steps forward, and saw the black-faced young man patting the wine jar in his arms, and then pointed to the middle-aged man behind him, and said jokingly: "On the day before I did it, I promised Wang Weng that on the day of return, I would drink and talk happily." ”
"I should make an appointment here today, why can't I even enter the courtyard gate?"
When the old man who was stunned in place heard this, his lips trembled slightly, and two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes, wetting the old man's cheeks, which were already a little wrinkled.
※※※※※※※※※※
After a while, the three of them had already pulled a few low stools and sat around the desk in the center of the courtyard.
The few people who were tinkering with corn porridge by the stove were no longer busy, took the food box in the scribe's hand, put the dishes in the box on the table in turn, and immediately retreated to the back of the courtyard.
"Qin Shilang made a promise in the past, and Yu thought it was a joke..."
Hearing the old man's words, the black-faced man smiled: "The eldest husband has made a promise, and since he has made a promise, how can he go back on his word?" ”
"It's Wang Weng, but he has recovered from his injury in ten months, which really makes a certain admiration!"
In Qin Mu's opinion, it is really admirable that the old eunuch was so seriously injured that he could get out of bed and walk in more than a month.
Being in a family of generals, Qin Mu really knows too well what it means to have such a considerable ability to heal injuries - the old eunuch Wang Zhong is afraid that he has a little martial arts foundation!
It's right to think about it: when Empress Lu was still there, the job of this old eunuch was to strictly guard against death and ensure that the palace and the fox could not get close to His Majesty.
As a martial artist, Qin Mu naturally has a good impression of the strong; What's more, Wang Zhong is just an eunuch, and he can have such a strong physique.
Looking at the undisguised admiration in Qin Mu's eyes, Wang Zhong's face was full of doubt.
Glancing at Ji Chen, who was sitting quietly on the side, Wang Zhong hesitated and said, "Qin Shilang and Ji Fu are so important, they are terrified; However, the contemptible people are just knives and saws, and the mutilated body is mutilated..."
"Sitting and drinking with contemptible people, I am afraid of damaging the two of them..."
After saying this sentence with a face full of shame, Wang Zhong lowered his head deeply, and did not look up at the two people in front of him at all.
Hearing this, Qin Mu pretended to have an unhappy expression: "What are you talking about?" ”
"I think that day, you deceived and died in the coffin, a certain coffin went out of the palace, and the servant shot was also hidden at the bottom of the coffin, so that His Majesty's order was passed on to the hands of the Flying Fox Captain!"
"Really, Wang Weng was seriously injured for His Majesty, and his merits are far from covering the two of us!"
Saying that, Qin Mu made a look of righteous indignation, and got up: "Also, Wang Weng's merits are high, and he looks down on the two of us." ”
"Let's shoot the servant, let's go back!"
Seeing Qin Mu's sudden 'rage', Wang Zhong, who was not good at words, suddenly became in a hurry, hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Qin Mu, and hesitantly withdrew his hand, his face full of anxiety.
Seeing that Ji Yan on the side also stood up, Wang Zhong finally said urgently: "Qin Shilang's words are shameful and despicable!" ”
"The contemptible is clumsy, draw the servant and shoot, and help the contemptible person persuade Qin Shilang!"
Wang Zhong's face was full of panic, and he looked at Ji Yan for help, but when he saw Ji Yan and Qin Mu looking at each other, he sat back on the side of the case with a light smile, and said with interest: "Qin Shilang? ”
"In the future, you can call it Qin Cheng's official~"
Hearing this, Wang Zhong turned his head with a confused face, and saw Qin Mu sitting back on the low stool with a sneer on his face, and said with a little self-humility: "Eh~ The official document of the Prime Minister's Mansion has not yet been issued, and this matter has not yet been decided." ”
Saying that, Qin Mu smiled and arched his hand to Ji Chen: "Ji Servant Shoot, be cautious..."
Seeing Qin Mu sitting back on the side of the case, Wang Zhong also understood the intentions of the two, bowed solemnly, and sat down.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Zhong still said with some uneasiness: "The contemptible people just heard the words of the servant, Qin Shilang seems to be promoted?" ”
Without waiting for Qin Mu to open his mouth again, Ji Yan preemptively said: "Your Majesty has ordered that Qin Shilang be appointed as the guard to help Master Chai rectify the palace guards." ”
"In a few years, today's Qin Shilang will become the guard captain Qin Gong~"
Hearing this, Wang Zhong suddenly panicked, and almost fell off the low stool and sat down!
Wei Wei Cheng, Wei Wei...
How can such a big man drink at the same table with a eunuch?
Wang Zhong was anxiously about to get up again, but found that his arm was grabbed by Qin Mu; looked up, but saw Qin Muyu jokingly: "Wang Weng doesn't know, a certain is expected to be Wei Wei Chengye; How can it compare to the servant shooting? ”
As he spoke, Qin Mu pouted at Ji Xinnunu, and his tone was full of sourness: "In a few days, Ji Servant will shoot, but he will be named a marquis by His Majesty!" ”
At this moment, Wang Zhong's buttocks, which were only left on the low stool, could no longer hold on, and completely fell on the hard frozen soil.
Seeing that Wang Zhong didn't even care about the soil on his buttocks, he hurriedly got up on crutches and wanted to worship, Qin Mu stood up again, pulled Wang Zhong's arm without any scruples, and said helplessly: "Wang Weng, the two of us, are you so terrible?" ”
Seeing Wang Zhong hesitantly raise his head slightly, Mu Chang Qin sighed, and then said, "If the two of us dislike Wang Weng's body, how can we bring wine and meat today, and want to drink with Wang Weng?" ”
After saying that, Qin Mu let go of Wang Zhong's arm and said with a straight face: "If our actions especially embarrass Wang Weng, then the two of us will leave." ”
At this moment, even Ji Chen, who had been laughing on the side, sank his face and arched his hand: "We will say goodbye, Wang Weng will rest in peace." ”
With that, Ji Yan really walked to the courtyard gate, turned sideways slightly, and made a posture of waiting for Qin Mu.
And Qin Mu still looked at the depths of Wang Zhong's gaze with burning eyes, waiting for an answer.
Seeing the two of them elevate themselves like this, the uneasiness and inferiority complex in Wang Zhong's heart slowly dissipated, and was replaced by a strong sense of guilt.
"The remnants of the contemptible saw..."
Halfway through his words, seeing that Qin Mu's face suddenly turned dark, Wang Zhong hurriedly changed his words: "Contemptible and vulgar, where words are missing, I hope that the two of you are not strange..."
Seeing this, Ji Yan slowly put a smile on his face, but he didn't mean to return to the courtyard, but glanced at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu's complexion also slowly warmed up, patted Wang Zhong's arm, and said, "Wang Weng has just recovered from his serious injury, and it is inconvenient to drink more, so the two of us will stay soon." ”
"Wanwang Wang Weng take care, Your Majesty Yu Wang Weng, there is another important task..."
Seeing that the two were still about to leave, Wang Zhong was about to apologize again, when he heard Qin Mu say, 'Your Majesty has another important responsibility', he hurriedly stopped, and forced himself to hold back his tears and burst out of his eyes again.
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty!!"
