Chapter 64: To Each His Own Mind
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Wang Yilin waved his hand and motioned for Chen Erhuo and the others to retreat.
Wu Zheng knew that there was something to say.
So he also asked Chen Sheng and the three to retreat.
"Brother Wu, I have heard about your affairs in Shaoxing Mansion today. You can also come to the Lianghu Guardhouse, in the final analysis, it is all up to the rejuvenation of the country and the protection of the public. Let me say something important, the boy is alive, when he knows the kindness, Brother Wu thinks it's right? ”
Wu Zheng responded: "What Lord Wang said is extremely true, Wu Zheng can't do anything to take revenge. ”
"Good! I'll just say, Brother Wu is such a heroic figure, how can he not understand the mind of Xingguo Gong? Wang Yilin raised his glass, "Come, Brother Wu, as soon as I see you today, I feel that I have fallen in love, and I will not be drunk today." ”
Wu Zheng followed Wang Yilin and drank it all.
Wang Yilin said with a big tongue: "I am also a cheerful person, since I have said this, there is no need to hide it, Xingguo Gong is my own uncle, if Brother Wu is willing to be loyal to Xingguo Gong, from now on, we are our own family." Brother Wu rest assured, Xingguo Gong said that as long as Brother Wu is loyal, this position of deputy thousand households of Lianghu Guard will be in Brother Wu's pocket. ”
Wu Zheng's eyes flashed, "Lord Wang said with a smile, this deputy Qianhu of the Lianghu Guard should belong to Lord Wang, how can he take the lead from his humble position, Wu Zheng can't do such a villain's behavior." ”
Wang Yilin laughed and said, "Okay." I am very relieved to have Brother Wu's words, but brother don't mind, when you are promoted to Deputy Qianhu, my brother will be transferred from the Lianghu Guard and go to serve in the Dinghai Navy. At that time, my brother will take Chen Erhuo and the others away, and a few of them will get used to it, so you don't have to worry about them getting in your way. ”
Wu Zheng's heart moved, and he smiled: "Then Lord Wang must be going to be promoted?" ”
Wang Yilin was a little twisted, and there was an indescribable weirdness on his scarred face, "There is nothing to say to Brother Wu, the Duke of Xingguo answered me and went to appoint a thousand households in the navy." ”
Wu Zheng stood up and arched his hand: "Then the humble post first congratulates the adults on their promotion, and I have to ask the adults to take care of them in the future." ”
"Where, you and my brother should naturally take care of each other."
"Lord Wang is serious."
"Hey, don't hide ......it from my brother, I've been acting as an agent for the Lianghu Guard for two years, and I know the most about the Guard, these people, don't look at them on weekdays, but they are bluffing the people, if they really fight, I'm afraid they can't even beat the bandits on Pinggang Mountain, let alone fighting with the Qing army."
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his heart moved, "Lord Wang said a little too much, no matter what, these are military households, how can they be so unbearable after long-term training?" ”
Wang Yilin sneered: "Brother Wu is young after all. How many people do you think there are in this Liang Huwei? ”
Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment and said: "When the humble post came, the prison state told me that Liang Huwei has six hundred households, so naturally it should be six hundred. ”
Wang Yilin smiled and said, "More than six hundred? Brother Wu has seen them all today. ”
Wu Zheng heard this, and suddenly realized in his heart that Chen Sheng was right, half of them were already good.
But there was a look of horror on his face, "Lord Wang, don't laugh, what you see today, there can only be more than 300 people at most." ”
A hint of discoloration flashed in Wang Yilin's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Brother Wu, the six hundred households in the Lianghu Guard are true, but the soldiers, there are only more than 300 people. ”
Wu Zheng was shocked: "This ...... How is this good, in case the Qing army goes south, with this, how to fight the Tartars? ”
Wang Yilin said: "Then it depends on Brother Wu, it won't be long before this Lianghu Guard is Brother Wu's." ”
Wu Zheng looked at Wang Yilin silently.
"Brother Wu doesn't have to worry too much." Wang Yilin lowered his voice and said, "If the Qing army really attacks, you can't beat and escape, let's talk about it...... Can you still surrender? ”
Wu Zheng originally had a good impression of Wang Yilin, but when he heard this, he instantly classified Wang Yilin as the opposite.
"Lord Wang, is this what Xingguo Gong means?" Wu Zheng's face became solemn, "Wu Zheng's uncle died in Jiading City, if Wu Zheng surrenders to the enemy, I'm afraid that my uncle will never agree to the spirit of the sky!" It is true that I am willing to follow Xingguo Gong, but if Xingguo Gong wants Wu Zheng to surrender to the enemy, Wu Zheng will not be able to obey his fate. ”
"Huh?!" Wang Yilin was stunned, and immediately changed his words, "Look, look, after all, the amount of alcohol is shallow, and if you drink a little, you will talk nonsense." How could Xingguo Gong have such a meaning? It's just that I'm talking nonsense, Brother Wu must not take it seriously. ”
Wu Zhengzheng arched his hand and said: "The lowly and respectful Lord is also a downright man, and other things, the humble duty can be obeyed, but the only word is surrender, please don't mention it again." ”
Wang Yilin's face condensed, and he stared at Wu Zheng with a straight glare.
Wu Zheng looked back calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
After a long time, I saw Wang Yilin suddenly "bang", slapped the table hard, and shouted: "Okay!" Xingguo Gong really didn't see the wrong person, Brother Wu is really a loyal and righteous man, I can assure Brother Wu that I, Wang Yilin, may escape, but I will never surrender. ”
Wu Zheng was stunned, is this a temptation?
However, Wu Zheng didn't care, because this was his intention, and he arched his hand and said: "Please tell Xingguo Gong that as long as you don't surrender, Wu Zheng will obey the rest of the matter." ”
Wang Yilin got up, raised his glass and said, "A word is a certainty!" ”
"It's a deal!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
……。
Wu Zheng didn't know.
That same night, Wang Yilin left the guard again.
I went to Shaoxing Mansion overnight and saw his uncle Wang Zhiren.
"Uncle, my nephew asked clearly. Wu Zheng didn't mean to surrender at all. ”
Wang Zhiren nodded slightly and said: "The old man wants to come too, if he really has the idea of surrendering, he will not drag Zhang Guowei and the three of them to the head of His Royal Highness the prison country." ”
Glancing at Wang Yilin, Wang Zhiren said, "Have you told him the true situation of the Lianghu Guard?" ”
Wang Yilin said: "According to the uncle's meaning, I told him." ”
"What did he say?"
"I didn't say anything but look stunned."
Wang Zhiren said: "Although this son is young, the city is very deep, and look at it." You usually pay attention to it, and the old man will also pay attention to whether he will report the matter of the Lianghu Guard to the prison state. ”
Wang Yilin hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, if he really reports to the prison country, what should he do with his nephew?" ”
Wang Zhiren glared at Wang Yilin impatiently, "Look at your little bit of interest, with your father-in-law, what are you afraid of?" Go back to work with peace of mind, and your benefits are indispensable. ”
"Alas, yes, yes. The nephew listened to the uncle. Wang Yilin replied repeatedly, "But if Wu Zheng reports this matter, how should the uncle deal with him?" ”
"Is that what you should ask?" Wang Zhiren sank his face, but he didn't really hide it from his nephew, and said, "If you really want to report it, it means that he is not really loyal to his father-in-law in his heart, so ...... Then leave him alone. ”
Wang Yilin responded, "My nephew understands, although my uncle can rest assured, my nephew will take care of it." ”
