The mental state of the county lord of Huaqing has recovered in the past few days, and when Zhao Dangshi and Pang Jinming arrived, she was waiting for two maids to practice calligraphy.

Zhao Dangshi came suddenly, and the county lord of Huaqing was defenseless, and waited for everyone to open the curtain before hurriedly throwing down the pen and coming up to meet him. Because Zhao Dangshi and the others have been quite respectful to her in the past few days, and the dietary conditioning is also in place, the county lord of Huaqing County did not show much hostility towards these people.

"Oh, I've disturbed the county lord." Zhao Dangshi stopped a few steps away from the county lord of Huaqing, and Zhou Wenhe, Pang Jinming and others all consciously lined up behind him.

"It's okay, it's okay." The county lord of Huaqing smiled faintly, and his eyebrows were picturesque. Zhao Dangshi only found out at this time that she actually had the leisure to put on some light makeup today.

"What is the county lord writing?" Zhao Dangshi curiously walked up two steps, and the county lord of Huaqing did not dodge, but led him around to the edge of the desk in the tent.

"But if you write some words at will, you can't get into the eyes of the general." She tilted her head sideways and smiled lightly, that look was a little coquettish in Zhao Dangshi's eyes.

Qin Qigong, Mu Gongchun and other cultural people are not there, almost no one in the tent is literate except for Zhao Dangshi, and Zhao Dangshi himself has never studied calligraphy and painting, so he will not show the ugliness, and after finding that there are some words written on the paper, he will leave it alone.

"The general hasn't been here for a long time since we last met." The county lord of Huaqing said softly, that tone didn't want to be an enemy, but more like an old friend who hadn't seen him for years.

Although Zhao Dangshi knew that the county lord of Huaqing was pretending to be calm, the other party was just a little woman, and this courage and courage far exceeded that of many so-called bearded men, but it had to be admired.

After a few words of greeting, Zhao Dangshi did not immediately shake out his deal with Liu Shaozong, but wanted to make one last effort to see if he could get some news beneficial to him from her mouth. However, before the words of the question could be spoken, the county lord of Huaqing said "huh" first.

Zhao Dangshi naturally asked, "What?" Following the gaze of the county lord of Huaqing, she found that her gaze was tightly focused on Pang Jinming, to be exact, the Yanling knife on Pang Jinming's waist.

"This ......" Huaqing County Lord Zhu's lips opened slightly, and his brows involuntarily raised.

Zhao Dangshi glanced at Pang Jinming, Pang Jinming understood, quickly untied the Yanling knife, and put his hands in front of the county lord of Huaqing.

"Where did you get this knife, this knife?" It was rare to see that there was a trace of floating between the eyebrows of the county lord of Huaqing.

Pang Jinming glanced at Zhao Dangshi, and when he saw that he nodded slightly to himself, he truthfully told the origin of the knife. Unexpectedly, before the words fell, he saw that the county lord of Huaqing began to shake his head incessantly, and he was not sure what to do, and the county lord of Huaqing said first: "This general, please look at the inscription on the end of the handle of this knife, is it 'the wind blows the drums, the mountains and rivers move'?" ”

Pang Jinming knew a few words, but he definitely couldn't distinguish what the county lord of Huaqing said. Zhao Dangshi saw that his face was embarrassed, so he walked over, took the Yanling knife, glanced at it, and frowned: "That's it!" ”

The county lord of Huaqing then said: "Then the other side should be the sentence 'lightning flag, sun and moon high'." ”

Zhao Dangshi looked at it again, and as he said, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and said, "How does the county lord know the inscription on this knife?" ”

But he heard the county lord of Huaqing whisper and recited: "The general is bold and bold in the south, and his waist is full of autumn water and goose feathers." The wind blows the drums, the mountains and rivers move, the lightning flashes, the flag is high, the sun and the moon are high. The unicorn in the sky is originally seeded, and the ants in the burrow can not escape. On the day of the return of the edict in peace, my husband and I untied our robes. ”

The tent was silent, and Zhao Dangshi was quite ambitious when he heard this poem, and asked: "Who is the hand of the poem chanted by the county lord?" In his opinion, the person who can compose such magnificent poetry must also be a heroic person. Maybe it's the famous generals and knights of the previous dynasty.

How do you know that the county lord of Huaqing smiled and said: "The author of this poem is none other than Emperor Shizong of my dynasty." At the end, a sentence was added, "The ancestors did not dare to blaspheme, and the word 'I' was replaced by Hua Qing in vain." ”

Zhao Dangshi was stunned and said: "I don't want to be the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but I can also make such heroic words." With this emperor, it is not surprising that Qi Shaobao, Yu Dayou, Tan Lun and other generations compete in one dynasty! Emperor Sejong is Zhu Houxi, who was named Jiajing, during his reign, there were many famous ministers and generals, and the culture and martial arts were prosperous, which can be said to be a rare brilliant era in the Ming Dynasty.

The lord of Huaqing County continued: "This poem was given by Sejong when Mao Xiangmao Gong went out to ask for Annan, and then Xiangmao Gong made great achievements in pacifying Annan and lived up to the emperor's grace." Speaking of this, he said lightly, "The unicorn in the sky is originally seeded, how can the ants in the cave escape." The general's bearing is outstanding, not comparable to idlers, and it is not a reckless life. If you get a recommendation, you are not a social talent......"

Zhao Dangshiben listened silently when she heard her talk about Mao Bowen in the Jiajing Dynasty, but he didn't want her to imply the intention of soliciting and persuading him to surrender in his later words, so he suddenly became vigilant and interrupted: "County Lord, you haven't said how you know this knife!" ”

The county lord of Huaqing heard that he deliberately changed the topic, and sighed in his heart, but he did not continue to persist, and replied: "This knife is my father's love knife, and it has been set up in the study. ”

Zhao Dangshi, Zhou Wenhe, Pang Jinming and others looked at each other, and only after a while did they ask: "Is what the county lord said true?" "How could the treasure knife of the town government, which is not only a dignified Rui Domain, appear in the corner of a dilapidated house of an old man picking dung in Baocheng, this identity is extremely different, it is too bizarre. Don't talk about Zhao Dangshi, no one present wanted to believe this, however, he heard the Huaqing County Lord accurately say the inscription of this knife, and the suspicion was really elusive for a while.

The county lord of Huaqing shook his head and said, "There is no reason to admit mistakes. You suspect that I am talking, why don't you wonder how such a rare treasure knife can be owned by an old man. Although she unconsciously revealed a sense of class superiority in her words, she was telling the truth. Pang Jinming was full of drums when he took the knife in Baocheng, and now after being reminded by the county lord of Huaqing, he nodded and said: "Yes, I also asked at that time." However, the old man seemed to have something unspeakable, so I didn't ask any more questions. ”

Zhao Dangshi was suspicious, and continued to ask: "Since the county lord knows the origin of this knife, why did it fall into the hands of the old man of Baocheng?" ”

Who knew that the county lord of Huaqing pursed his lips and said: "Before I went out of the city, I met my father, when he was reading in the study, and I had the impression that this knife was on the desk at that time. She has a very good memory, like this kind of detail, she can recall it after a little recall, and the reason why she cooperated so much with Zhao Dangshi's inquiry was because she was afraid that her father would have something wrong with this knife, so she had the right to inquire.

Zhao Dangshi and Pang Jinming glanced at each other, and they were both suspicious. There is no reason for the county lord of Huaqing to make up a boring lie, and seeing that she swears so much, there is a chance that this sword will be an old thing in the Rui Domain, but how could it fall into the hands of the people?

Everyone was silent for a while, including Zhao Dangshi and the county lord of Huaqing, all of whom were suspicious of the circulation of this knife, and Zhou Wenhe put forward his opinion: "Isn't there two knives in this one?" ”

The lord of Huaqing County shook his head lightly: "This general doesn't know, this knife is hidden in the Wei Eunuch Mansion, and it was originally a congratulatory gift from the Eunuch Qun on his fiftieth birthday. The Holy Divine Warrior, immediately destroyed this fang, seized this knife, and transferred it to his father to consolidate family affection. Thinking that Wei Gelding was powerful and arrogant at that time, the treasures in the house were all rare treasures, and they were all unparalleled in the world. In order to curry favor with him, how dare the people in the eunuch party privately keep the same style of treasure knife? ”

Zhou Wenhe said disapprerovingly: "That's not necessarily, I can't think of a knife, no matter how powerful Wei Zhongxian is, can he find out if it's a unique product?" ”

The county lord of Huaqing smiled slightly and said: "The power of Wei Eunuch in the past can be imagined by non-generals. ”

Zhou Wenhe was already very inferior in front of her, and the current Huaqing County Lord just said it casually, but to his ears, it was as if he was sarcastic about his own generation and difficult to contact meat eaters, so he couldn't help but look pale and swept his gaze aside.

Although the county lord of Huaqing is knowledgeable and humble, she is noble by nature, no matter how careful she is, she will still unnaturally reveal a sense of superiority when she speaks. Maybe this is not her intention, but it is still easy to sting the sensitive inferiority complex of Zhou Wenhe, Pang Jinming and others.

Zhao Dangshi knew that what the county lord of Huaqing said was true, and he had not personally experienced the rule of Wei Zhongxian, but many records and cases about his people in later generations still allowed him to experience the horror of that era. Of course, no matter how powerful Wei Zhongxian is, he has already turned into a handful of loess now, however, judging from the news revealed by the county lord of Huaqing, the knife in Pang Jinming's hand should have been exiled from the Rui Domain.

Because of the lack of clues, no one can figure out the whole story of this Yanling knife, but this matter is not the point. Zhao Dangshi thought about it for a while, and put the knife on hold in advance. He did not forget the purpose of this trip, and instead began to try to get words from the mouth of the county lord of Huaqing.

However, after talking about it, he didn't get much valuable information, Zhao Dangshi deliberately asked a few simple questions, and the county lord answered, and it could be seen from Pang Jinming's eyes that she was not lying. Thinking about it, although the status of this Huaqing county lord is high, she is a woman after all, and King Rui is still at home, so she has even fewer opportunities to leave the boudoir. It seems impossible to find out what government and military affairs are from her.

The lord of Huaqing County treats people kindly and has an approachable personality, and Zhao Dangshi and other generals actually have a good impression of her. Zhou Wenhe once said in private that if the princes, nobles and those who are officials in the world are as reasonable and clear as the lord of Huaqing, the Ming Dynasty will not be like this.

Of course, he just sighed, and Zhao Dangshi also laughed at it. The lord of Huaqing does not have a high shelf, maybe it is because of his nature and kindness, or maybe it is for self-preservation, or maybe there are other reasons, but in Zhao Dangshi's opinion, it is impossible for her heart to really put her recklessness in the same class. In other words, in this situation, she can be kind to you and even welcome you, however, in her heart, she will never accept you and look up to you so easily as she sees on the surface.

The reason why Zhao Dangshi is so speculative is not unfounded. Because even in later generations, when freedom and equality were flaunted, the word "class" was still pervasive. It did not disappear, but was deliberately hidden. And the reason why it has never disappeared is that people of different "classes" have indeed made clear distinctions in their wealth, ideas, lifestyles, and attitudes. To what extent? Almost as soon as a person comes into contact with another class, the world in his mind is immediately turned upside down by shock and incomprehension.

Without going far, let's just say that for the lord of Huaqing, Zhao Dangshi admits that she is a good person, but Zhao Dangshi knows that he will never be able to become friends or confidants with her. Her goodness is only reflected on the surface, and if you want to further deepen your friendship with her, you will find that there seems to be an invisible wall that always blocks her in front of her, unshakable.

In just a moment, Zhao Dangshi thought a lot, and finally his thoughts shifted to business, and Wen said: "The county lord has delayed my camp for many days, and I have waited for a lot of etiquette, so please bear with me." A few days ago, I have agreed with Ling Zun to send the county lord back to the city on a certain day, I don't know what the county thinks? ”

When the two maids around heard this, they were all happy, but the county lord of Huaqing was still like that, not happy or surprised, and bowed elegantly, and said, "Thank you, general, Huaqing is all arranged from your camp." ”

After coming out of the main tent of Huaqing County, Pang Jinming didn't say a word, and walked towards his camp, thinking about Zhao Dangshi's instructions as he walked: "This Yanling knife is a little strange, you can see it, and I can't say that it will be useful in the future." I kept thinking about it, and I clenched the knife tighter in my hand.

Pang Jinming has a higher position in the night not to collect, so he has his own small account like Zhou Wenhe and others. He just entered the tent and took off his dirty clothes and changed into civilian clothes, when someone outside the tent suddenly opened a small opening and came in: "May I ask if Brother Da Da is there?" ”

There is a rule in the Zhao camp that all generals are not allowed to walk around at will without a superior order, and there is a permission order, and the first sentence of this opening also stipulates that it can only be the military password of this month. And this person obviously did not sneak in through regular channels, but through patrolling troops. The perennial professionalism made Pang Jinming vigilant, and he asked in the tent: "Who is it?" Tell the origin of the name in one sentence, otherwise it will be punished by military law. ”

But the man outside the tent did not do as he declared, Pang Jinming was stunned, and saw that the other party actually opened the curtain directly. Subconsciously, he pulled out the Yanling knife and asked sharply: "Who dares to trespass?" In other words, he was ready to capture and call people.

But when the person who entered the account opened his mouth and said another word, Pang Jinming's anger disappeared immediately.
