Chapter 18: Old Friends
The ship slowly sailed to the shore, and Duan Chong's eyes were greeted by patches of camp tents and dense sailors. In the harbor, there are nearly 100 ships of all sizes, and there are no soldiers on the search ships who are holding swords and shouting drills, and the momentum is fierce. Duan Zhong touched his nose and sighed, the military strength of this Northern Liang is really far from being comparable to that of Southern Liang, if it weren't for the terrain and equipment advantages, it would be really difficult to resist when the Northern Liang army went south. However, at present, although the Southern Liang is extremely rich, but the military is poor and weak, Duan Chong does not know what Emperor Wen of Liang thinks, in Duan Chong's opinion, this terminally ill emperor is not only not confused, but also smart and tight, can he let his national power gradually decline, until he is flattened by the iron cavalry of the Northern Liang.
But at the moment, Duan Zhong doesn't need to think about it so much, because as a prince of Dali, he is just a passerby. Further, he may be a dark force of the two sides sharpening their knives, pushing the two sides to fight each other. In Duan Chong's view, the unification of the world is the trend of the times, and Duan Chong's goal in this life is to do a great career, obviously Dali's national conditions and strength determine that it can not give Duan Chong enough help correspondingly, so this contributed to Duan Chong's journey from Dali to Nanliang and from Nanliang to Beiliang. And Dali, defined by Duan Chong, is a fisherman who can profit from it, and can come out at the most appropriate time to pick up the fruits of victory, which is enough. Of course, this requires a good needle lead in it, and each needle must be worn extremely well, once there is a wrong thread anywhere, then the consequence is to play with fire**.
In fact, Duan Chong's trip is a political refuge in the pure sense, on the one hand, he wants to run away with his wife, and on the other hand, he has to continue his great cause, which is also a helpless move. So this line came to the legendary Luzhou Navy camp in such a daze.
When the ship docked, countless soldiers rushed up to help Duan Chong carry his luggage, Duan Chong touched his nose and was extremely surprised, how could these soldiers of Nanliang be so attentive. And Wang Xiaoshan stepped forward to greet Duan Zhong and said, "Please come with me, there is someone who wants to see you." ”
"See me?" Duan Zhong touched his nose and was stunned. Wang Xiaoshan nodded, "Alone." ”
Duan Zhong followed Wang Xiaoshan all the way, passed through many tents, and finally stopped before the big tent. Wang Xiaoshan made a bowing posture: "Your Highness, please inside, the person who wants to see you is inside." ”
Duan Zhong touched his nose and glanced at Wang Xiaoshan, then he sighed and walked in. Who will you want to see yourself? However, when Duan Zhong walked into the tent, he heard an extremely familiar voice. Duan rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't mistaken. The person in front of him who shouted his "senior brother" with enthusiasm on his face was indeed Xiao Zhengrong, the prince of Northern Liang who had not seen him for more than three years. Xiao Zhengrong saw Duan Chong enter the camp tent, rushed two steps to Duan Chong's face, stretched out his fist and slammed Duan Chong's chest: "Senior brother, I can be regarded as seeing you!" ”
Duan Zhong sighed, how can such a bridge be like Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West" calling his senior brother? However, this way of greeting is indeed Xiao Zhengrong's way of doing things. Shaking his head: "Didn't you say that you were waiting for me in the capital?" How did it suddenly appear here? ”
Xiao Zhengrong laughed twice: "Didn't I think about you, so I rushed over non-stop!" How's that, I'm a brother, that's interesting enough, isn't it? ”
Duan Zhong sighed: "Deceiving people also requires a bit of technical content." It's been so long, but I haven't grown at all. I'm going to take advantage of your brother. ”
Xiao Zhengrong was stunned: "How can you say this, senior brother?" We haven't seen each other for years, so you don't have to act so rusty. ”
Duan Zhong smiled and patted Xiao Zhengrong's shoulder again: "Forget it, I haven't seen you in the past few years, your brain has finally grown a little, and if you know how to use people, I won't care about you." But don't use this lame reason to wait for me in the capital, with your temperament, will you stay in Beijing? If I say that I am in the barracks, maybe I will still be deceived by you. And this time, you borrowed my hand and found out the spy, right? In order to find out the spy, even your brother can sell it, you can do this! ”
Xiao Zhengrong's expression finally changed, and he laughed dryly: "Senior brother, didn't what you said hurt our brother's feelings?" Didn't I think you'd come over anyway, so I'd do you a little favor by the way. ”
"A little favor?" Duan Zhong sneered and patted Xiao Zhengrong's chest, but the harder he patted, "You are willing to plant your senior brother and sister-in-law in it?" ”
"Aren't you doing well, I fully believe in your strength, senior brother. Don't take this kind of trivial matter to heart. As he spoke, he tugged at his heavy arm, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the spies I caught." Senior brother, it is all thanks to your merits this time that you have caught a big fish lurking in our army, and if the two armies fight, maybe there will be a lot of losses. ”
Duan Zhong sighed, this effort to change the topic, Xiao Zhengrong also saw an increase. However, for Xiao Zhengrong's performance, Duan Zhong was extremely satisfied. After all, in Duan Chong's view, taking various means to serve his own convenience is the supreme way of survival, obviously Xiao Zhengrong's years in Dali were not in vain, at least he learned a little from himself. If Xiao Zhengrong was still like when he was in Dali, he was purely a second egg, and he was useless except for fighting, Duan Chong would really look down on this prince.
Seeing that Duan Zhong didn't delve into anything, Xiao Zhengrong was naturally happy in his heart, and led Duan Zhong out of the camp tent and went directly to a playground, and on the pillar in the center of the playground, a person was tied. This person is covered in blood at the moment, his upper body is naked, and there is no intact skin, obviously he has been tortured, but he heard Xiao Zhengrong say very excitedly: "Senior brother, it was this girl who betrayed you, this girl was originally the captain of a ship, and she had been lurking in the army for more than ten years, and she was finally caught." Think about it, if you were to fight with Nanliang, and suddenly a ship changed formation, how terrible it would be. So this time it's really thanks to you, senior brother. ”
Duan Zhong sighed, it was really difficult to get into Xiao Zhengrong's flattery without a level. Shaking his head, he pointed to the almost indistinguishable man tied to the wooden pole: "What are you going to do with this person." ”
Xiao Zhengrong said excitedly: "Naturally, senior brother, what you say to deal with it, how to deal with it!" ”
Duan Zhong touched his nose: "Give him a good time." After all, he who can lurk for so long can be regarded as a good man. Let me not torment him. ”
Xiao Zhengrong was stunned at first, then nodded with great understanding, without the slightest nonsense, he directly pulled out the long knife on his waist, and walked in front of the pillar. Xiao Zhengrong touched the blood stains on the knife, turned around and ordered the soldiers on the side to clean up the place and turned around and walked back. Duan Zhong sighed, in this world, the winner is king, the loser is doomed, and his hands are stained with a lot of blood, in this case, why should he care about anything?
Xiao Zhengrong walked over with a laugh and hugged Duan Chong's shoulder: "Senior brother, I haven't seen this sister-in-law for a long time." Miss Su'er must be more pretty, right? I heard that you also turned the princess of Nanliang over, this is a big skill, I want to see it. ”
Duan Zhong shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "I came to you with the worth of my family's life this time, how do you always have to tell me about this arrangement?" Otherwise, if you take my family to the slaughterhouse, I won't lose a lot of money. ”
Xiao Zhengrong smiled and said, "Since you have come to my territory, senior brother, I will naturally make you feel at home." We spent two days in the barracks and then set off for Yanjing. After I go back, I will meet my father first, you have mixed up with some kind of uncle and professor of Taixue in the south, and we will naturally not treat you badly. But whatever you can get in Nanliang, I will always double the benefits for you! ”
Duan Chongyan shook his head when he heard this: "This emperor is the most difficult character in the world to deal with. So even if I enter Beijing, I don't want to see your father. As for the official titles, they are all floating clouds. My favorite thing is silver, you know. ”
Xiao Zhengrong was stunned for a moment, and several embarrassed expressions appeared on his face: "You came to Beiliang, my father already knows." And I'm anxious to see what you look like, if you don't want to see my father, I really don't know what to do. So you don't have to embarrass me, brother, right? My father is very easy to get along with, give me a few thin noodles, how about meeting him? ”
The emperor of Southern Liang, Emperor Wen of Liang, Xiao Huan, is an extremely difficult person, and Brother Taer must not be a fuel-efficient lamp. This is the most unpredictable is the heart of the emperor, so for the emperor, Duan Zhong still has a sense of fear. But for Xiao Zhengrong's request, Duan Zhong was still extremely helpless, whether he agreed or not, this is a problem. However, looking at Xiao Zhengrong's extremely sincere and pitiful expression, Duan Zhong finally couldn't bear to refuse. Of course, Duan Chong would naturally ask for a little benefit, and Xiao Zhengrong quietly stuffed a stack of thick silver tickets into Duan Chong's sleeve, judging from Duan Chong's old experience, it should be ...... Fifty thousand taels. For the sake of the silver, Duan Zhong made a decision very sincerely: "Then I'll reluctantly see it!" ”
Xiao Zhengrong laughed: "Very good, very good!" I knew my brother wouldn't embarrass me. Go, go, go! Let's go see my sister-in-law. Sister Su'er must be more beautiful. Senior brother, you have always been the most popular woman, if you can't enjoy it in the future, remember to divide the two brothers and me......"
"Don't talk nonsense......"
