Chapter 148: The Soldier Dies, for His Confidant
Chen Zhengtai thought about it again, but still summoned hundreds of people and found the young man with various weapons.
But I saw dozens of men lying motionless in the mud.
It looks like it's dead.
Chen Zhengtai was taken aback, this is a shocking murder case, miserable, dozens of strong men died in the household registration of Erpigou all of a sudden.
Goodbye to a young man, sitting on the stump of a tree beside him, while he took the steamed cakes from his baggage and was feasting on them.
Chen Zhengtai was angry, it really doesn't make sense, Datang is a place where there is a king's law.
You have killed so many people, don't you feel sorry?
The men who were lying on the ground like dead men, at this time their eyes cautiously opened a line, and when they saw Chen Zhengtai bringing people here, they all suddenly turned over and got up, and then they all came back to life with half blood on the spot, and one by one they let out a wail like killing pigs: "Please call the shots." β
Seeing this, Chen Zhengtai was a little relieved, oh, dare to love these guys are pretending to be dead.
Shame on you.
Chen Zhengtai's face was a little unbearable, these dozens of people, all of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and the injuries were not light.
Chen Zhengtai stepped forward and said: "I am Chen Zhengtai, the right concubine of the East Palace, the county prince of Juxian County, and the general of the Erpigou Hussar Mansion, who dares to make a mistake here." β
This young man was originally an unruly and unruly appearance who had the courage to come, but when he heard the word Chen Zhengtai, he was stunned!
But seeing that the young man carefully wrapped the half-eaten steamed cakes, and then carefully packed them into his bags, he got up and walked towards Chen Zhengtai!
Chen Zhengtai wants to scream, and he will protect me.
The young man had already saluted: "A certain is Xue Li, I was ordered to come here to vote for the general, the general is above, and Xue Li is polite." β
Xue Li...... Isn't this Xue Rengui?
Chen Zhengtai was a little speechless.
Looking at the young man's delicate appearance, but his words and deeds are clear-eyed, and he has a knife on his back, which is a little scary.
Only then did Chen Zhengtai know what this Ye Gong Haolong meant, among people like this, 'Lu Bu', listening to his name, although it was like thunder, but when he really saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Since you can't be fierce to him, then you have to change the way.
Chen Zhengtai stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Xue Li's hand and said, "Hahaha, it turned out to be you, Rengui, General Ben is looking forward to you day and night, I didn't expect you to arrive?" Look at you, you must have worked very hard all the way, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, when you come here, you're going home. β
Sure enough, he was still a young man, and as soon as he heard these words, Xue Li showed a look of shame, he could see that the person he was beating had something to do with the General Chen in front of him.
Of course, he didn't have a psychological burden at the beginning, and when he hit, he won't beat anyone, when I'm in Hedong, when will I not hit someone?
They can only be blamed for themselves, who told them not to report General Chen's name?
But now that General Chen is so polite and virtuous, and he is just an unknown grass people, General Chen is so courteous, but he seems to be very rude.
He immediately admitted his mistake in shame: "It was a certain death, and it turned out that it was the general's farmer." β
Chen Zhengtai hurriedly smiled amiably and said: "The water washed the Dragon King Temple, it doesn't matter, it's all a family, those who don't know are not guilty, come, come, come, let people kill pigs and cook sheep, set up a banquet today, wash the dust for Xiao Xue." β
In this way, Xue Rengui was even more ashamed, he said: "General, when I first came here, I was ordered by the military order of the Governor's Mansion, can I go to the Hussar General's Mansion first and answer the Mao?" β
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Chen Zhengtai's face, and then he opened his eyes and said, "This...... Hussar House...... It's not built yet, should it? You bring the paperwork, and I'll draw a circle......"
Xue Rengui: "......"
He was originally a hot-blooded young man, and as soon as he heard the call of the Governor's Mansion, he came in a hurry, but who knows...... And such an operation?
The Hussar Mansion has not been built, what are you asking me to do? Eat dry rice?
Of course, Chen Zhengtai would not let him eat dry rice, there was a large table of dishes, chickens and ducks, pigs and sheep, but there was no dry rice.
When Xue Rengui looked at these drinks and dishes, his eyes were straight, he didn't say a word, and then he began to feast and eat heartily!
He has a huge appetite, an amazing amount of vegetables, a few catties of meat in his stomach, and then a bowl of soup, before touching his belly, feeling that his belt is a little tight, but he is embarrassed to loosen!
Chen Zhengtai only looked at him with a smile from the side.
Xue Rengui felt a little embarrassed: "General, it's really ...... to be humble."
Chen Zhengtai said kindly: "It's okay, your own people, this is Erpigou, you are ...... My don't know, I'll have a lot to borrow in the future. β
Xue Rengui was surprised: "Don't general? β
He thought that he was here to join the army, even if he didn't start as a pawn, at most he was just a fire captain or a team leader.
Where do you know, just give a donkey.
This general is almost equivalent to a deputy general in the Hussar Mansion, and he is the adjutant of the Hussar General, if Chen Zhengtai dies in battle, then he is the commander of the army.
Xue Rengui said with a little flattery: "Thank you, General......"
"Haha." Chen Zhengtai laughed and said: "As soon as I look at you, I feel that I have an eye for you, don't always say thank you, work for me in Erpigou in the future, and you will not be able to benefit from you in the future." β
Xue Rengui is not much interested in benefits, people of this age are full of enthusiasm and just want to do something.
So he said, "But I don't know what the lowly duty is......"
"Not yet." Chen Zhengtai spread his hands: "You also know, the Hussar Mansion has not been set up yet, otherwise, if you have nothing to do, you will be my guard first." β
Xue Rengui: "......"
Say yes, don't!
It turned out that he was followed by a bare-pole general, and he was bare.
But now that people are here, what else can he do, Xue Rengui has no choice but to respond.
In fact, he thinks that Chen Zhengtai is unreliable.
After all, he is also a county prince and a hussar general, but the hussar mansion is nowhere to be seen, according to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, such a person will definitely be punished by the governor's mansion.
In the afternoon, someone came to report again, and a man named Su Lie came.
This time, the people of Erpigou learned to be obedient, after all, they had been beaten, and they finally learned to be polite to outsiders, so they were busy and attentive to bring people here.
This Su Lie is in his twenties, he was a special general in other hussar mansions before, so he was wearing the official uniform of a military attachΓ©, he came on a horse, but he looked a little down, and the horse under the seat seemed to be soft!
When he saw Chen Zhengtai, he saluted first.
Seeing him like this, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say: "Su Bei has suffered a lot all the way, hey, it's not easy, it's not easy, come here, and then set up a wine banquet." β
Su Lie was a little more sleek than Xue Rengui, he looked at Chen Zhengtai, and then at Xue Rengui behind Chen Zhengtai.
Aren't these two little dolls?
I couldn't help but be discouraged in my heart, and I was still ambitious in other hussar mansions, originally this time he sharpened his sword Huohuo, and planned to make a contribution to the war against the Turks, who knows...... The imperial court had just been recruited, and everyone was asked to go back to their respective hussar mansions on the spot.
Now I came here again, but I was called by a young man of fifteen or sixteen, and I was immediately discouraged, and then I couldn't help complaining: "This damn price is really killing people, even the forage costs three or four copper coins, and the lowly horse has not been fed forage for a day, and everything has risen along the way, and I don't know who has lost his conscience so much, but fortunately the humble man has brought a few more money, if not, he will starve to death on the road." β
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
After three rounds of drinking, he learned that the Hussar Mansion here was still empty, and Su Lie was depressed again.
He thought in his heart, this little doll named Chen Zhengtai seems to be just the son of a powerful man in Chang'an City, he set up a hussar mansion here, it's just child's play, recruit himself to come, do you want to play here with him for a lifetime? In this way, it is really difficult to achieve great ambitions.
As for the other person named Xue Rengui, he must be Chen Zhengtai's playmate, I can't imagine that I, Su Lie, want to follow Wei Qinghuo's example to get sick, and finally ...... But with children.
At this time, Xue Rengui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Su, please take care of him in the future." β
Su Lie was not angry in his heart, and said in his heart, who is with you, this little child.
Subconsciously shook his shoulder, wanting to give Xue Rengui a dismount, he boasted that he had great strength, this time he threw it down, even if this little doll didn't dislocate his arm, he was afraid that he wouldn't want to go to the ground for three days.
But who knows, Xue Rengui is still smiling, but his hand is still on his shoulder like Mount Tai, and his face is like an ordinary color.
Su Lie was shocked, what was going on......
But it was just a teenager in front of him, he was not convinced, so he moved his hand and twisted Xue Rengui's hand, wanting to shake Xue Rengui's hand away.
Xue Rengui couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
Because Su Lie's hand is so strong, it seems to have the strength of a thousand catties!
When Xue Rengui was in Hedong, he had never seen such a pervert, so he breathed heavily, but fortunately, his strength was also very great, so the hands of the two people were held together, and they both desperately increased their strength, wanting to pinch each other's hands to beg for mercy.
The two of them shook hands like this, and after a long time, they only felt that countless forces ran through their arms, and it was clear that they each used ten percent of their strength, but they couldn't help each other.
And at this time...... Su Lie was already shocked, and thought to himself: "This young man is so powerful, I have never seen such a person in the army, it can be said that there is no one in ten thousand, and there is a special general in the Erpigou Hussar Mansion, is it so hidden?" If so...... Isn't the Erpigou Hussar Mansion a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, terrible, too terrible. Isn't this hussar general of Erpigou even more powerful? β
At this time, his face was no longer contemptuous, but full of exclamation.
Xue Li was also shocked, he also thought that Erpigou was nothing big before, but Chen Zhengtai treated him well, anyway, he used to be a grass citizen, and now he can enter the military government and become a general, which can be regarded as inheriting Chen Zhengtai's love!
But now that I look at this Su Lie, my thoughts are different
I, Xue Rengui, have fought all over Hedong invincible, but I have never seen such a person, today I came to Erpigou, only then do I know what is outside the mountain, there are people outside the people, General Chen can recruit me, it is considered that he has insight. But he summoned such a military man, it can be seen that he is really a knowledgeable person, and there are a few knowledgeable people in the Zhumen, and it is really awe-inspiring to have such a knowledgeable person
The two of them withdrew their hands, and both looked at each other with wary eyes.
But immediately, they all looked at Chen Zhengtai with awe.
Chen Zhengtai only thought that the two of them were shaking hands, and he couldn't think of it...... Did there be a handshake ceremony in the Tang Dynasty? The ancients were really enthusiastic and unrestrained, and they had all kinds of tricks.
After drinking some wine at this time, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but relax and said with a smile: "Since you are here, I have my own gifts, but I don't have anything, but I have money, and you have to change your outfit." In a few days, I will have you measure your body and make you good armor, oh, your swords and bows will also be changed, and in it, we are a family, and when you go out, you are the face of the Hussar Mansion of Erpigou, come and come, and then send you horses for travel. β
The two said yes in unison.
So the two followed Chen Zhengtai to the horse pen, but saw that there were hundreds of horses in the horse pen!
The two of them were shocked again, they are really rich, it is good to have a hundred horses in other hussar mansions, and there are not only more horses here, but also all of them are extraordinary.
Immediately Xue Rengui's eyes were attracted by the big Wan horse, the big Wan horse was too outstanding, he was shocked in his heart, he was as powerful as an ox when he was small, and since then he has been learning to ride and shoot, and he has seen a war horse, but the big Wan horse, he has never seen it, and he can't help but sigh that there is such a divine horse in the world!
Su Lie was obviously the same as him, Su Lie was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and his saliva was about to flow out of his mouth at this big Wanma.
People like them all regard this treasure knife and BMW as their own arms, and they all have a deep study of horses!
They even knew very well in their hearts that such horses might not be able to be bought even for thousands of dollars in the market, because ...... No one sells it at all.
When Chen Zhengtai came here, he pointed to the two Dawan horses and said: "Come on, bring these two horses out, this is the Dawan horse, you must know, now, there are only five in the Central Plains, three of which are in His Majesty's place, haha...... I've got two, and it's useless to keep them, but if you like them, I'll give them to you." β
Say send, send.
It's like someone giving away two limited-edition Rolls-Royces in later generations.
But Chen Zhengtai didn't even frown at all, he only understated it, and he didn't care about it.
Su Lie and Xue Li were immediately shocked.
Xue Li couldn't even speak, and stammered uncontrollably, and said, "General...... Checkmate...... This is...... Give...... Send ours? β
Chen Zhengtai's eyes widened, since he couldn't use force to subdue them, then ...... I, Chen Zhengtai, had no choice but to come up with the best method, I will use money to kill you.
Chen Zhengtai said very arrogantly: "Of course, what, I, Chen Zhengtai, want to give you something, and you still have to refuse?" Don't you give me Chen Zhengtai's face? But if you don't want it, someone comes...... And he slew the two horses, and ate the meat of the horses tonight. β
Xue Li was already scared to pee.
After all, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy, in the next generation, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child, he has never seen such a world before, and he came to this two skin ditch, which immediately ruined his three views.
Su Lie breathed heavily, and the whole person was already stunned, there were only five horses in the world, three of them were in the emperor Lao Tzu, and the rest was given to him and the young man beside him.
He couldn't help but say in his heart: If I ride this horse, I won't come down for the rest of my life, and I will sleep on it.
Su Lie's eyes were red, and he thought to himself that when he was in other hussar mansions, the hussar general would even have to deduct 20% of his military salary, compared with the general Chen in front of him, it was really different.
Without hesitation, he immediately gave a military salute, and said in a hoarse voice: "General Xie, I am willing to go to the soup for the general, and I will not hesitate." β
"What are these words, my own brother, and thank you for this?" Chen Zhengtai laughed: "Saddle these two horses, and in the future, this horse will be General Su Beijiang and General Xue Beijiang, oh, yes, do you want to give it a try?" β
Xue Li drooled, and only after a long time did he say: "The humble is a little reluctant to ride, since this horse has been given to the lowly, the humble is eager to carry it every day, let it ride the lowly." β
But there is no one who does not love horses, Su Lie and Xue Li have even thought that if they ride such a high-headed horse and go back to Hedong or the former military mansion to walk a few laps, they will then gain the most envious eyes in their lives.
That night, neither of them could sleep, even if it was cold and windy, they were all in the stable, looking at the two Dawan horses, and smirking.
Under the night sky, such laughter, like a scream, sounds very terrible.
It was their first night in Erpigou.
"With this horse, it is worth it to give General Chen his life for the rest of his life." Xue Li felt that he had never seen much of the world, and he was grinning, not minding that he sold himself to Chen Zhengtai at all.
Su Lie nodded: "You don't have a lot of strength, but you can ride and shoot?" β
"It's just a small technique, I can fly through the Yang in a hundred steps."
"Really?" Su Lie frowned: "It just so happens that I will too." β
"Three hundred steps away, I can hit the bull's-eye with an iron bow."
Su Lie felt that this kid was a bit bragging, but seeing Xue Li's serious appearance, he couldn't help but say, "This General Chen is really not a mortal." β
Xue Li agreed: "Yes, I have never seen such heroes in Hedong, those so-called heroes are like dung in front of General Chen." β
Su Lie has been in the army for many years, and sighed: "I have served many generals, as you said, although I have also seen a few people who know people and are good at their duties, but even so, no one can compare with General Chen, I heard that he only recruited the two of us, I see that you are also a hero, which shows that his vision is extraordinary." Besides, he's been so good to us, hey...... To be able to serve such a person is to die willingly. β
Xue Li smiled.
"What, what are you laughing at?" Su Lie said: "Could it be that you are unwilling to die? β
"It's not." Xue Li carried a youthful romance: "It's just that for me, there is no one in the world who can kill me, I said that I fought all over Hedong invincible, so I won't die, and naturally I won't die, General Chen wants someone's head, I cut it and offer it." β
Su Lie laughed: "Xue Beijiang's words are very funny, okay, it's late at night, you go to bed early." β
"You don't sleep?"
"I can't sleep, I have to sleep with my horse in this horse pen to feel at ease, and by the way, I also think about building a hussar mansion for General Chen."
