Chapter 143: Meritorious Service

The deathly silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Master Zhou frowned and came back after going out for a while, and grinned: "Zhancai, the guards under your command are quite fierce, shouting that they are going to enter the mansion to rob people." ”

Seeing that Qian Yuan was silent, Master Zhou looked at Nie Bao, "Dong Weng, Mr. Yu and Mrs. Wa are still guarding outside the door, Mr. Yu is better...... Mrs. Wa was a little overwhelmed. ”

"Huh?" Nie Bao raised his eyebrows.

"Zhancai is quite kind to Tian Zhoubing, and he has a close relationship, and there are several wolf soldier leaders under Mrs. Wa...... Well, I'm already standing beside the Qian family's guards. ”

"You kid will earn favors!" Nie Bao pointed at Qian Yuan with a smile, "Now in Songjiang Mansion, I'm afraid that the reputation is higher than that of the old man, right?" ”

"How high it is?" Qian Yuan didn't raise his eyelids, "It's not like someone has taken it away......"

Nie Bao didn't take the conversation, but got up and walked out, and when he passed by Qian Yuan, he paused, "I remember you once asked, what does the old man say about you?" ”

Qian Yuan nodded with interest.

"In terms of talent, you are ordinary, although the eight shares are okay, but it is destined to not be able to leave a name in the literary world, although the pen is neat, but the craftsmanship is too heavy."

"Whether it is science, poetry, calligraphy and painting, you are mediocre, and you are not outstanding in Guizhou and Guangxi."

Qian Yuan's face remained unchanged, these were as they should be, and he pricked up his ears and continued to listen.

"In terms of leadership, although you are good at the overall situation, good at geography, and thorough in the hearts of the people, it is difficult for you to become a famous marshal like the Duke of Di'an."

Qian Yuan was a little ignorant when he heard this, and after Master Zhou on the side explained a few words, he learned that this Duke of Sui An was Yang Yiqing, the chief of the trilateral system during the Zhengde period, and later served as the first assistant of the cabinet in the early years of Jiajing.

Unexpectedly, seeing that there was no frustration on Qian Yuan's face, Nie Bao said in an accentuated tone: "But you have the talent to apply it to the world." ”

"In the two wars of Jiading and Chongde, you sorted out the internal affairs logistics and made suggestions, although it seems to be idle in Taozhai Town, it is meticulous and never makes mistakes."

"You have ruled the Spring and Autumn Period, "Zuo Chuan" cloud: There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, which is immortal." Nie Bao stared at Qian Yuan's eyes, "What does meritorious service mean?" ”

Qian Yuan thought for a moment and replied: "The younger generation reads "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan Justice", Kong Yingda once said that meritorious service is to save the misfortune and eliminate difficulties, and the merit is in time. ”

Nie Bao nodded slightly, "Now that the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, there are troubles in the north, there are rebellions in the south, and the Tusi in the west are frequently in turmoil, and there are dire straits everywhere, which is the time of calamity." ”

Nie Bao didn't continue, patted Qian Yuan's shoulder, and squeezed his withered palm hard.

Qian Yuan was speechless, why is it a time of calamity, do you want me to make a contribution to the time?

That's the mission of Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, and Qi Jiguang!

"Shuangjiang Gong, a junior is a student ......"

"Hahaha, Uncle Zhang once said that you are a lazy person." Nie Bao added strength to his hand and said in a low voice: "And the political dispute between the DPRK and China is fierce, the situation in the DPRK is chaotic, and he has been in power for more than 30 years, and the East Palace is vacant so far. ”

"Don't think about it so much...... The old man only hopes that you will not live up to the expectations of others, and you will not live up to yourself. ”

"If you had stayed in Hangzhou a month ago, the old man would not have said these words."

"Since you abandoned Hangzhou and returned to Songjiang and came to Taozhai Town, you must assume certain responsibilities and obligations."

Nie Bao let go of his hand, stretched out his finger and poked Qian Yuan's chest, "Old man believes that your Qian Zhancai's heart is hot." ”

Qian Yuan was silent, took a step closer, hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is there a day to meet?" ”

Don't blame Qian Yuan for asking such a thing, Nie Bao's words are like explaining what happened in the future.

Nie Bao sighed, stopped talking, and walked forward.

……

The drizzling rain has stopped, although it is still autumn, but the cold at night is quite heavy, everyone outside the mansion feels cold, and Zhang Guerrilla is cold in his heart.

The Qian family's guards on the opposite side had already unsheathed their knives and wound their arrows, although Li Liangqin, Hou Jigao and others were blocked in the middle, but the head of the guards, Yang Wen, was pale, wielding his knife and shouting, and the guards behind followed step by step, seeing that this fight was about to start.

Old Madam Wa glared fiercely at the two knives on Yang Wen's body, she didn't blame him for standing among the Qian family's guards, but only blamed him for not being able to reconcile them but adding fuel to the fire.

"Bang bang bang!"

Old Lady Wa turned around and kicked away the two guards who were in the way, strode to the door, and stretched out her palm to slap wildly, causing everyone to be stunned.

"Don't worry, old lady......"

Yu Dayou's consolation was only halfway through, when the door of the mansion suddenly creaked open, and the white-haired Nie Bao walked out first, followed by Qian Yuan with a cold face.

After the expressionless Nie Bao looked around, his gaze fell on Yu Dayou and Old Lady Wa, who were close at hand.

"As the chief soldier of Wusong, you faced more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, and you actually abandoned the camp and left, do you know military law?"

"Tian Zhoubing was transferred to the southeast, and the Governor's Mansion specially asked the court for the title of 'Female Officer, General and General Soldier', which can not be said to be untrustworthy, but Mrs. Wa gave up her official business for personal relations?"

"Shuangjiang Gong ......"

"What Shuangjiang Gong?"

Yu Dayou took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Da Sima, Qian Zhancai ......"

"Needless to say." Nie Bao waved his hand and said loudly: "Three months ago, this official went south to supervise the war, and summoned Qian Yuan, a member of Huating, to accompany the army......

Qian Yuan, who had been hanging his head, suddenly raised his head and shook his head slightly towards the opposite side, and Hou Jigao and Li Liangqin, who wanted to step forward to defend him, stopped.

"I was supposed to be kicked out of the camp by the cane, but I was young and ignorant...... Nie Bao slowly turned to look at Qian Yuan, "The cane is temporarily stored, but you immediately get out of Taozhai Town, and you are not allowed to stay in Songjiang Mansion." ”

Yu Dayou was stunned, a few months ago, he was very aware of the ability that this Huating Xiucai showed in terms of governance and logistics, so he suggested to Nie Bao three times and twice, he really didn't trust the level of local officials, lieutenant generals and colonels in this regard, but he didn't expect that now Qian Yuan was taken away, or in this way of publicly tearing his face that rarely appears.

Qian Yuan didn't shoot a resentful gaze as Nie Bao imagined, nor did he have any self-defense, although he chose to cooperate, it didn't mean that he was willing.

A gust of cold wind hung up, and the hem of Qian Yuan's torn robe when he was fighting against the Japanese Kou during the day was blown by the wind, and the rain that had not stopped for a long time began to fall again, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

"What should I do?" Yang Wenwen's white face was even paler, and his right hand holding the hilt of the knife kept loosening and clenching.

"Listen to the young master." The veteran Wang Yi noticed a hint of weirdness, but he knew very well that his wave of people couldn't do anything, and the ending should be negotiated between Qian Yuan and Nie Bao in the mansion.

Yang Wen was temporarily appeased, but the two knives beside him were not so good.

"Not convinced!" A loud shout resounded around the surroundings.

Old Madam Wa, who had been staring at Qian Yuan, suddenly turned around and bowed down to Nie Bao, "Your Excellency, ......"

"Needless to say!" Nie Bao shouted.

Qian Yuan took two steps forward, helped up Mrs. Wa, and barely squeezed out a smile, "Thank you, old lady, if you remember that Qian Mou has been of insignificant help to Tian Zhoubing, please help Qian someone cut off a few more heads of widows." ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Wa to reply, Qian Yuan turned his head and glanced at Yu Dayou, nodded slightly to show appreciation, and then walked down the steps into the rain.

The lonely figure gradually drifted away, and there was silence outside the mansion gate.

Suddenly, the figure stopped, turned abruptly, and bowed to this side.

The corners of Nie Bao's mouth, who had been staring at Qian Yuan, couldn't help but show a smile, he was very sure that the other party didn't know the reason, but he was also very sure that the other party knew the kindness of his old man, who was close to the age of sixtieth, and he was painstaking.
