Chapter 3 Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
"What's going on?!"
Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, was already gloomy and was about to drip water, and after a few glances, he locked on to Xu Changqing like a wolf.
Ma Ping, this waste, Hong Du came to patrol the camp so early this morning, but this fool actually came out of the moth at such a time!
The point is that you just do it, and you haven't taken it yet? What the hell does this mean? Do you slap him in the face alive!!
Bai Guangen's face was already white and gloomy, and he was so angry at this time, he was like a bloodless ghost.
Behind Bai Guangen, the guerrilla Ma Ping was already frightened and weak.
He did order Ma Huzi to do it this morning, carry out the orders of the boss Bai Guangen, and look for more money from the Xu family, but who would have thought that Ma Huzi would be such a waste, and Hong Du came to patrol the camp again......
For a while, Ma Ping's heart was sloppy, what a waste, it's a cheat!
Xu Changqing stood upright, like a straight green pine!
He pretended to look at Bai Guangen stubbornly, biting his lip stubbornly, obviously very aggrieved, but he didn't speak.
Next to him, wearing a purple robe, a white jade belt around his waist, and hanging the golden sword of the Son of Heaven, Hong Chengchou, who was riding on a high war horse, had naturally already controlled the overall situation.
He glanced at Xu Changqing, who was excited, and then at the sloppy people, and finally looked at the Qin Junqian general, and said in a very gentle magnetic voice: "Liu Lang, what's going on?" ”
This Qin Junqian, whose name is Liu Lang, hurriedly dismounted, and knelt on the ground respectfully, "Governor, is it like this......"
Busy reporting what he saw here to Hong Chengchou and the others.
"Governor, governor, you old man is going to be the master of the lowly position. This black boy named Xu Changqing, he just wanted to kill the lowly position, he wanted to kill people, he wanted to rebel..."
At this time, Ma Huzi finally reacted, and he knelt down with a crawl, and kowtowed desperately to Hong Chengchou, unspeakably miserable, as if all the bad luck in the world was added to him.
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and almost burst out laughing without holding back.
I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful, it's even better than the script he planned, and he has to add chicken legs.
But who is Xu Changqing?
With the body of a small end, he has been in the demon capital Vanity Fair all the year round, and his city has long been as unfathomable as an abyss.
Xu Changqing quickly maintained the resentful, unwilling, and impulsive look that a young man should have, but he just gritted his teeth and didn't speak.
Hong Chengchou frowned slightly, but soon stretched out, looked at the swarthy young man in front of him coldly, and said majestically: "Brawls are forbidden in the army, Hong has reiterated it again and again, and he has thought about it with all his might!" And you are fighting with weapons, like a rebellion! Why do you knowingly commit it when you know it's a capital offense? ”
Xu Changqing looked at Hong Chengchou stubbornly, his eyes were full of unwilling crystals, but he did not kneel, but said word by word:
"Hong Du, I Xu Changqing went to the battlefield to kill the Tartars! Before leaving, my mother took my hand and told me that I must kill a few more Tartars to avenge my father! Even if you are like my father, even if you die on the battlefield, you must not lose people to our old Xu family and ancestors! ”
"But my brothers and I are not here to be bullied!"
"They usually bully us, but we were originally lining up to eat here, but these people came up and beat people, and there was no reason at all!"
"Governor Hong, I fell seriously ill on the way to Ningyuan, it was the two dogs who carried me to Ningyuan, so that I could survive, and I didn't let our old Xu family cut off the incense."
"Hong Du, Ergou is my life-saving benefactor, and even more so my siblings! I Xu Changqing has no ability, but I have no way to serve the country, and I Xu Changqing is unwilling!! ”
"Unwilling to !!"
The young man's stubborn words, word by word, were like thunder, and they exploded directly in the surrounding crowd!
Especially the stubborn but stubborn young man who endured the tears that did not flow, made many people feel a little trance for a while.
Once upon a time, when they were young, how could they not have been wronged like this?
Hong Chengchou's complexion also changed slightly, squinting his eyes, and looking at Xu Changqing more carefully, as if he wanted to see through Xu Changqing!
This young man is not simple.
On such an occasion, under his own authority, can he still be so firm?
Especially this kind of calm and composed, this kind of clarity, and courage in the face of this kind of occasion, even many generals may not be able to compare with him......
Since ancient times, what has been the most important thing for Chinese scholars?
To put it simply and rudely, it is no wonder that there are three points: one is fame, the second is to seek wealth, and the third is to leave a name.
For Hong Chengchou, at this time, he was already a very popular minister, and his fame and money had already been left behind by him.
What he is thinking about now is how to fight this battle well, win this battle, and live up to the holy grace of the Son of Heaven and the expectations of the entire Ming Dynasty!
And the black boy in front of him is a talent.
Not only is he sharp, but the dozen or so entourages around him are obviously all good players in their prime.
Especially~, he seems to be still after Tadashi....
Next to him, several of Hong Chengchou's staff, when they saw Hong Chengchou's appearance, they already understood that their Dong Weng had already started to love talents.
A goatee stroked his beard and laughed softly: "Young man, you don't have to be too nervous. Military law is naturally greater than the sky. However, the jurisprudence is nothing more than human feelings. It's good that you want to kill the Tartars and be loyal to your country. Our Hongdu is not an unreasonable person, you can relax and explain to Hongdu with peace of mind. ”
Hearing the words of this staff, Xu Changqing was also a little unspeakably excited in his heart, and his fingers twitched a little unconsciously.
He was right!
Busy is respectfully said: "Hong Du, my lords, Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness." Although I, Xu Changqing, have a cheap life, I also know the righteousness of loyalty and patriotism! Hong Du, I don't want to die in military law, I am willing to ask Hong Du to allow me to fight, I Xu Changqing am willing to die on the battlefield, and the horse leather will be wrapped in corpse and returned! ”
"Plop!"
After speaking, Xu Changqing knelt on the ground, and desperately hit Hong Chengchou's forehead, with a bang, and in the blink of an eye, there was blood on his forehead.
At this time, even Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be slightly moved.
His tone was already very soft, and he hurriedly said, "Young man, don't be nervous, raise your head." ”
"Hongdu ....."
Xu Changqing raised his head, on his forehead, the bright red blood stains were already full of sand and dust, and in a pair of dark eyes, tears couldn't stop pouring out, full of grievances, full of unwillingness, but full of unruly hope.
That is ------- trust and expectation for the elderly!
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel more satisfied.
In Qinchuan, 800 miles, he once rescued a condemned prisoner from the execution ground, and later, this prisoner became his personal guard, his right-hand man, and he has been on the front line of the battlefield, and has made countless contributions to him.
It's a pity that in the end, he died on the battlefield, and he Hong Chengchou didn't even have time to say his final goodbye.
At this moment, Hong Chengchou suddenly found the same feeling as he did back then.
Thousands of miles are hard to find, but Bole is even harder to find!
"Young man, you~, have you ever read?"
Xu Changqing nodded, and kowtowed to Hong Chengchou respectfully: "Back to Hongdu's words, the lowly post has indeed studied for a few years, but unfortunately, the lowly post has never been interested in reading, and the biggest wish in his life is to inherit his father's mantle and be loyal to the country." Therefore, I have been studying the art of war and martial arts, and I have pulled down some in reading, and I am afraid it will be difficult to gain fame. ”
"Oh?"
"Your father sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield?"
Hong Chengchou had even dismounted at this time, came to Xu Changqing, and looked at Xu Changqing gently.
Everyone around was a little confused.
This Young Master Xu, this.... What kind of shit luck did this go?
At this time, even if he is a fool, he can obviously see that the old man Hong Du obviously loves this kid.
"Damn, the sky is unfair, unfair, this, how can this black boy have such luck? I, I, I ......"
Not far away, Ma Huzi almost wanted to cry without tears, and the whole person was a little bad.
How can there be such a big gap between this person and people?
But Ma Huzi didn't know an old saying in later generations: "Opportunities are always reserved only for those who are prepared!" ”
How could he know that Xu Changqing had already pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers in order to get this opportunity, almost desperately!
At this time, Hong Chengchou had already chatted with Xu Changqing for a while, whether it was Xu Changqing's conversation or temperament, he was more and more satisfied, and the original heavy depression on his old face had dissipated a lot, nodding again and again, and smiling frequently.
Especially when he heard that Xu Changqing's father was born in an old Liao soldier and participated in several wars, and later, he intersected with Mao Wenlong, Chen Jisheng and other Dongjiang families, sacrificed his life for the country, and died in the defense of Lushun that year, Hong Chengchou nodded again and again.
Gentle smile: "Xiao Xu, you want to contribute to the country, then~, let me ask you, if you are a.... Mr. Qian, at this time, what will you do? ”
Xu Changqing couldn't help but 'chuckle' in his heart, and his palms were sweating.
He tried his best to plot at the last moment, and finally it was.... It's coming!
Busy and respectfully said: "Hong Du, the humble position is your soldier!" Wherever you let me fight, I will fight! But..."
Xu Changqing pretended to hesitate for a moment and looked at Hong Chengchou secretly.
Hong Chengchou's face changed slightly, and he didn't know what surprise this rather insightful young man in front of him would bring him, so he pretended to be majestic with a calm face: "Xiao Xu, in front of me, do you still want to hide it?" ”
Xu Changqing hurriedly said: "Hong Du, no, I, I don't want to waste my ability, I want to not collect it that night, go to the battlefield to kill the Tartars, and avenge my father and fellow villagers!" ”
Hong Chengchou was stunned again, but he couldn't help laughing.
Many of the staff around him also laughed out loud.
This black boy is very sharp, and he is the most elite soldier of the Ming army, and he is far from being able to do it by ordinary people.
Hong Chengchou smiled: "Xiao Xu, it's okay if you want to kill the Tartars, but are you capable enough?" You have to know that the Tartar is not one of the beasts you see in the mountains, a little trick that you usually play at home. They are more ferocious and more terrible than the beasts! Are you sure? ”
Xu Changqing was waiting for this moment, and said respectfully and as unruly as a blade: "Governor Hong, I am willing to accept all kinds of tests!" I would like to ask Governor Hong to give him a chance! ”
"Good!"
Hong Chengchou's chest and abdomen were also arrogant: "Someone! ”
"Humble duty!"
The hundreds of Qin army guards around them immediately responded in unison, and the scene was quite shocking.
These are obviously well-trained soldiers.
However, Xu Changqing saw it clearly, even if these people were elite, even if they were compared to the recruit companies of the People's Army in later generations, they were just a false neatness, which was completely different from Ling Xinghua, and it was still too scattered.
But Hong Chengchou hadn't spoken yet, here, Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, was busy laughing and said: "Governor, test a hairy boy, why do you need Qin Jun's brothers to take action, just find a few good hands." ”
"Huh?"
Hong Chengchou glanced at Bai Guangen.
With his experience in the city, how could he not see Bai Guangen's deep meaning? This is clearly to be more strict with Li Ping'an.
But Hong Chengchou quickly showed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded: "It's okay, Bai. Junmen, you can arrange it. ”
Xu Changqing is still young after all, although Hong Chengchou admires Xu Changqing very much, but young people always have to go through some polishing before they can become a tool.
With his Hong Chengchou's mind, he naturally didn't mind using Bai Guangen's hand to sharpen Xu Changqing's sharpness.
Who is he?
Natural self-confidence has abundant means, which can firmly grasp Xu Changqing in the palm of his hand and arrange a path for Xu Changqing that he has planned.
In particular, how ferocious are the Tartars? is far from being comparable to this kind of army, this is actually his protection of Xu Changqing in disguise.
"Yes, Overseer!"
Bai Guangen smiled, naturally understood what Hong Chengchou meant, and said to a tall and fierce guard next to him: "Old Seven, you, go and try him!" ”
"Yes!"
Beside Bai Guangen, the burly man who was like a man and a bear, walked out quickly with solid steps, obviously an experienced practitioner.
He glanced at Xu Changqing coldly, the corners of his mouth raised, he smiled contemptuously, hugged Xu Changqing with his fist, and made a gesture of invitation, but he didn't make any moves.
Obviously, for a little-known minion like Xu Changqing, if he strikes first, it will be a loss of his identity.
Even if Hong Chengchou values Xu Changqing, he also has his self-confidence!
Even under Hong Chengchou's command, with his ability, he will never be worse than the current treatment.
The surrounding space was suddenly left to Lao Qi and Xu Changqing, and they suddenly quieted down.
Everyone's eyes converged on Xu Changqing and the two.
