Chapter 28 There is no way to retreat
In the carriage, Cheng Yanjin, who was sturdy, leaned sideways, holding the carriage with one hand and holding the wine jug with the other, shaking his head drunkenly.
The carriage came to the outside of Chongzhou City, and the black-clothed young man in the carriage said in Cheng Yanjin's ear: "Father, we have arrived in Chongzhou, and we are about to enter Chongzhou City."
"Stop!" Cheng Biting Jin in the carriage opened his eyes and said, the carriage stopped, Cheng Biting Jin put down the wine jar, the turbidity in his eyes had disappeared, even the strong smell of wine on his body could not cover the anger on this person, Chongzhou, he Cheng Biting Jin is here!
"Bastard! Don't come and help me out of the car! ”
Cheng, who had just gotten up, bit Jin's buttocks and felt pain, and immediately shouted silently to Cheng in black.
Cheng Chumo came over and said: "Here, father, this saint is ruthless enough, he beat his father like this, and asked his father to rush to Chongzhou overnight."
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he raised his hand and said: "You know a fart, if it weren't for the useless people around my father, I would let you come with me!" If you can't control your mouth, go back to Chang'an."
"Er understands, I must control my mouth in the future" Cheng Chumo agreed while helping Cheng Cheng bite the gold out of the carriage.
Cheng Biting Jin got out of the car and stretched his strong body, the pain in his buttocks was nothing to the thick-skinned one, not to mention that the ones who beat were also acquaintances, and they were measured, and it was Chongzhou City in front of him that made it difficult for this Lu Guogong.
Chongzhou City, there are 3,000 elite defenders, plus 1,000 auxiliary troops, and 1,000 Zixuan Palace's living forces, nearly 5,000 defenders, and it is impossible to forcibly eat this Chongzhou City, and it is even more difficult for Ziyun and Ziyi to bite the gold, this Chongzhou can not be attacked but can only outwit.
"Let's go into the city," Cheng Yanjin said.
After saying that, the sturdy body got into the carriage again, and Cheng Chumo also jumped into the carriage after him, and the carriage started and drove towards the gate of Chongzhou.
Soon, a carriage in front of the Chongzhou military camp stopped steadily, and Cheng Yanjin jumped down on the carriage and said to the guards at the camp entrance: "I want to see Ziyun!" ”
The soldiers guarding the camp looked at Cheng Yanjin and turned over, and when he saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, he asked tentatively: "Dare to ask who the strong man is?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin opened his mouth and said loudly: "Lao Tzu is Cheng Biting Jin!" ”
"What do you say? You are Cheng Biting Jin! I'm still Li Jing! You horseman, don't talk nonsense! The guard next to him shouted.
Cheng Biting Jin smiled, turned around and took out the gold seal in the carriage and threw it over, the soldiers at the camp mouth hurriedly caught it, and the fist-sized gold seal was impressively engraved, Lu Zhijie seal! Four big words.
So, in the house, Ziyun, Ziyi, Steward Liu, and Ye Lin looked at it with a solemn face, and stood next to the chair with a smile on his face.
Before a few people spoke, Cheng Yanjin took the lead and said: "Two nieces, what are you doing so seriously, this big camp is all yours, this time I came to pick up people by the will of the saint, by the way, let's see how you are doing?" Nothing else."
Steward Liu's face sank and he said angrily: "You lackey is also worthy of calling the two nieces of the hall master."
Ziyun, who was sitting on the main seat, asked, "Who is Lu Guogong coming to pick up?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Come to receive this Daoist, the will of the Holy Lord, if you live to see people die, you must see corpses, as long as the two nieces hand over this Ye Daochang and the defenders of Chongzhou to me, I will immediately take them back to Chang'an, and I will never embarrass you two sisters."
Ziyun glanced at Ye Lin, Ye Lin hurriedly turned his head, Ziyun shook his head and said, "No!" ”
Cheng Yanjin said again: "Then as long as Ye Daochang is alone, it's fine."
Zi Yi sneered and said: "It seems that Lu Guogong's real purpose is for Daoist Ye Daochang, but unfortunately, Daoist Ye has already joined Zixuan, and the life of this Taoist priest is now Zixuan's, even if he dies, he will die in Zixuan." ”
On the side, Ye Lin touched his nose, got up and said, "You guys, Xiaodao is unwell, go to the thatched house"
After saying that, Ye Lin turned around and left, this Cheng bit Jin and burned the fire to himself in front of him, obviously he didn't want to let himself continue to listen, Ye Lin really couldn't understand why he was an unknown little Taoist priest next to the Qingzhu Forest in Chang'an, why did he let this Lu Guogong come to him in person.
Inside the house, after Ye Lin left, Cheng Yanjin's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Although Chongzhou is large, surrounded by plains on three sides, you only have thousands of defenders, and I can mobilize the soldiers and horses of all the states and counties near Chongzhou, adding up to tens of thousands, and there is an endless supply of grain and grass, Chongzhou is just a lonely city." I want to take Chongzhou as easily, but I don't want to do this, once the war starts, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be injured, and it will be the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who will die, the two hall masters think about it carefully, I know that Ye Daochang was arrested by the Yi Hall Lord, he does not belong to you Zixuan, please be two people! ”
Ziyun thought for a while and asked, "I don't know why Lu Guogong has to ask for this useless Taoist priest."
Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Why do you ask Niece Yun knowingly, do you think that if you control the family, you will control Chongzhou, do you really think that Chang'an, the news of Chongzhou, will not be known at all?" Just relying on a method of refining salt is enough to make His Majesty sleep."
Ziyun frowned, she didn't expect Cheng Yanjin to already know about refined salt, which means that there is still the eyeliner of the imperial court in Chongzhou City, and it is hidden very deeply.
Cheng Yanjin said again: "I'm going to pick up people, two nieces, don't send me"
After saying that, Cheng Biting Jin got up and walked out, Ziyi's face instantly became much more ugly, she looked up at Ziyun, Ziyun said helplessly: "He is right, Daoist Ye Lin's talent should be used in Datang, not follow Zixuan to be a mouse hiding in the dark."
Outside the house, Cheng Yanjin grabbed the back collar of Ye Lin's robe, who was eavesdropping, and forcibly pulled him outside the barracks like a chicken.
Ye Lin opened his mouth and asked, "What is Lu Guogong doing?" ”
Cheng bit the golden head and said without replying: "Does the Taoist want to follow Zixuan for the rest of his life?" Let's go! Datang needs talents like Dao Chang even more."
Ye Lin, who was carried by Cheng Yanjin, said weakly: "They haven't agreed to let the poor Dao leave, isn't it okay for Lu Guogong to rob people like this?" ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "They have no choice, and so do you, Dao Chief!" ”
"Wait! Whether we have a choice or not, it's not up to you to decide, and neither is Ye Daochang's choice! Ziyi appeared and blocked Cheng Yanjin's way.
Cheng Biting Jin let go of his hand and asked Ziyi, "Yi's niece wants to stop the old man?" ”
Ziyi said: "I just want to give Daoist Ye another choice"
After that, Zi Yi turned her head to Ye Lin and said calmly: "The Dao Chief should have heard it just now, there will be no good results in staying in Zixuan, but I still want to say to the Dao Chief: The Dao Chief has the right to choose, before leaving Chongzhou, as long as the Dao Chief speaks, I will definitely not let Lu Guogong take the Dao Chief away so easily!" ”
After Ziyi finished speaking, Ye Lin lowered his head and was silent, Cheng Biting Jin saw this and mentioned Ye Lin to continue to move forward, as Ziyi said, there was no result in staying in Zixuan.
In the carriage in front of the barracks, Cheng Yanjin handed the wine jug to Ye Lin, and Ye Lin shook his head.
"Don't give me Lao Cheng face?"
"Poor Dao doesn't know how to drink," Ye Lin replied.
Cheng Yanjin smiled and took back the wine jug, took a sip of it himself, and then looked at Ye Lin.
The carriage started, and Ye Lin suddenly asked, "Dare to ask Lu Guogong after he brought me to Chang'an?" ”
Cheng Yanjin lay on his side in the carriage and said: "Then it depends on the meaning of the saint, but the Taoist chief can rest assured, the Taoist master's method of refining salt is beneficial to all the people, and the saint will definitely reuse the Taoist leader." ”
"Being an official? Poor Dao doesn't want to be an official," Ye Lin replied.
"Wouldn't it be a waste of talent not to be an official and a chief?" Cheng Yanjin returned to his half-drunk and half-awake appearance.
Ye Lin bit his lip and said, "I just want to live a depraved life in this life."
Cheng Yanjin raised his head and nodded Ye Lin and said: "You are a Taoist priest is really interesting, and it will not end well if you are greedy for pleasure." ”
Ye Lin nodded, and suddenly said, "I want to gamble!" ”
"What do you want to bet on?"
"I want to make my life without regrets, to be an official or something! Still not suitable for poor roads! Ye Lin said, suddenly took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "Woman! Help me! ”
Cheng Yanjin got up, looked at Ye Lin with unbelievable eyes, and said angrily: "What's the difference between you following Zixuan and rebelling!" ”
The voice fell, the carriage stopped suddenly, Ye Lin's eyes looked at the front of the carriage, and the purple-clothed figure stood quietly.
