Chapter 118: Being a Tiger
Pei Guo jumped off the horse, returned the folding tree lance, and gave a salute to Xiao Yan, and was about to retreat, when he heard the commotion around him:
"Pei Chongguan is so young, which is an eye-opener for us!" "If you haven't seen enough, why not come again?" "Yes, yes, one more hand!"
Pei Guo listened to it in his ears, and the resistance in his heart was even worse, and he sneered and ignored it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan also said: "Xiaokuan is really good, if there is another stunt, you might as well perform it together." ”
Pei Guo has the arrogance of a high-ranking family, not to mention that in his heart, he actually doesn't regard himself as Liang Chen, but the Lord of Liang speaks, so what? So he frowned, and said coldly, "There is no other ability." At this moment, Chen Qingzhi took a step forward, and his face was full of anticipation...
Pei Guo sighed secretly, paced off the field, and slowly walked to a gable and stood still.
Everyone quieted down, and they couldn't guess what Pei Guo was going to do, and they were all looking forward to it.
The wall is two feet high and very smooth. Pei Guo took a deep breath, jumped suddenly, and rose from the ground, always half a zhang high, which made a group of Wenchen dumbfounded.
This is not over, Pei Guoren was in mid-air, a pair of feet suddenly stretched out, and he walked quickly on the gable, and his body slanted horizontally. If an ordinary person does this, within a step or two at most, he will surely fall. Pei Guo was faster than lightning, and in an instant, he took as many as five steps, not only did he not fall, but he walked higher and higher. Everyone saw the figure in front of them shaking, and suddenly heard Pei Guo exhale, and when they looked again, Pei Guo was already standing firmly on the wall.
Below Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, and the generals were all dumbfounded: Waiting for the idle town, didn't Pei Chongguan even use the cloud ladder flying hook, and climbed up casually?
The sound of the scene burst out, like thunder: "Amazing!" It's amazing! ”
Pei Guo jumped lightly and jumped off the wall, and the surroundings were in full swing, he had a knot in his heart, and there was no joy on his face. At this time, if someone asks him to practice the third game again, he has to turn his face. Fortunately, Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but this time he wanted to see Yang Zhong's amazing divine power.
What Yang Zhong thought in his heart was more or less similar to Pei Guo, but Pei Guo had acted twice, and he couldn't shirk it. So he arched his hand towards Xiao Yan: "Your Majesty forgives Yang Zhong for being rude." Before everyone could react, he had already strode away, walking away on his own, until he reached a river bridge dozens of paces away, and then stopped.
The river bridge is not big, but it is built luxuriously and exquisitely, the number of people on the bridge railing on both sides of each menhir, eight feet long, ten big circumferences, I am afraid that there are not hundreds of pounds of weight. Yang Zhong stepped forward, folded his arms, hugged a stone figure, exhaled and shook vigorously.
Some Wenchen laughed: "The stone man is one with the bridge railing, but how can this be shaken?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I only heard two loud "clicks", and between the smoke and dust, the stone man's feet were cracked, and Yang Zhongsheng pulled it out! Wenchen was covered with cold sweat and couldn't speak.
Yang Zhong shouted "up", but he held the stone man's ankle with both hands and struggled to lift it. But seeing that the green tendons on his forehead burst out and his teeth grinned, the stone man slowly rose and climbed to the top of his head.
The ministers gasped, and Xiao Yan also changed his color, muttering: "The overlord is the king, but that's it?" ”
"Go!" Yang Zhong shouted, threw the stone man into the river, and splashed a lot of water. When he came back, he bowed his hand to Xiao Yan: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" ”
Cai Sheng thundered again, but Yang Zhong and Pei Guo glanced at each other, and each saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Liang Lord Xiao Yan laughed three times and said: "Pei Guo Yang Zhong, he is really brave, hahaha, this is not my tiger?" ”
A group of ministers hurriedly echoed: "We have this tiger minister, we congratulate Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Yan smiled, and was overexcited for a while, and blurted out: "Since you two are my tiger ministers, why don't you try to be like a tiger?" If it is done well, I will give it with a broken tree lance and a purple horse! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the garden, especially the generals, and the envy in their eyes was revealed for a while.
Different mindsets lead to different perspectives. What the generals heard was only the two treasures of "folding the tree lance and the purple horse", but what fell into the ears of Pei Guo and Yang Zhong was the words "try to make a tiger".
Although the tiger is the king of beasts, after all, it is just a beast, if it is like a tiger, will it not fall to the ground, prostrate and roar? I'm so good a boy that I can't lie on the ground and pretend to be a brute!
As soon as he thought of this, the two of them changed color together, suppressed the anger in their hearts, and said coldly: "I have never seen a big insect, and I don't know how to be like a tiger." ”
There was silence in the field, and no one would have thought that the two would answer like this, and the tone did not sound good.
Half an hour passed, and the buzz in the field began again. Although the civil and military forces did not make accusations, they also chattered and pointed fingers. Wenchen is not angry, since Pei Yang and the two do not know how to lift, do not know the number of etiquette; Most of the generals who whisper are jealous and have bad intentions.
Liang Lord Xiao Yan's smile disappeared, and there was a sharp flash in his eyes--- since the beginning of the army to crusade against Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Dongdu, for decades, how could anyone have ever resented him Xiao Yan?
Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to have a seizure, Chen Qingzhi's cold sweat was like rain. is self-conscious, a person walks out of the oblique thorn, with a long body and a jade body, a handsome appearance, wearing a high crown and a gorgeous robe, and his bearing is extraordinary.
The person who came looked at Xiao Yan deeply, got up and said: "Your Majesty, it is said that the tiger roars in the mountains and forests, so the place where the tiger is located is mostly deep mountains and dense forests. Erchen heard that the six towns of Wei are located on the edge of the Hanhai Sea, half grassland, half desert, where did the tiger roar in the mountains and forests? The two generals Pei Yang grew up in the six towns, and it would not be unusual to say that they had never seen a big insect. ”
What this person said was obviously excusing Pei Guo Yang Zhong. Although the six towns are close to Hanhai in the north, they are leaning on the reckless Yin Mountain in the south.
But there is a person of insight who can casually refute what this person says. But this person has one mouth, the princess of Manyuan, and none of those with bad intentions have spoken out to refute it, and they all keep silent.
Pei Guo and Yang Zhong glanced at each other, both confused and grateful in their hearts for this person's righteous words.
Such an opportunity, should not be missed? Chen Qingyi bowed to the end and said loudly: "King Jin'an has a wide range of knowledge, Qingzhi admires!" ”
Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, looked at the man, for a long time, the essence in his eyes faded, and in his place, it was all a loving gaze. I saw him stroke his long hair, and said with a smile: "Shizhang has lived in a foreign town for a long time, and he has seen a lot of knowledge, and I can't do it." ”
It turned out that this person was Xiao Yan's beloved son Xiao Gang, the king of Jin'an, the word Shizhang, who was the assassin of Yongzhou at the time, and the outer town of Xiangyang, rushed back to Jiankang this time in order to participate in the sacrificial ceremony in the first month. Among the princes, except for the crown prince Xiao Tong, Xiao Gang is the most favored, no wonder he speaks out, even if there are flaws, no one refutes the ministers.
Xiao Gang hurriedly bowed down, saying "don't dare": "Your Majesty has a wide world, how can your sons and daughters reach it?" Whether it is a tiger or a tiger minister, they are all in His Majesty's court. ”
Xiao Yan laughed, very happy. So a storm disappeared invisibly.
A lieutenant shouted loudly: "Today's trip to the Pleasure Garden ends here." His Majesty returned to the palace, and the princes dispersed. ”
Originally, Xiao Yan saw Pei Yang's two brave warriors, and he had the intention to stay by his side and accept him as an officer of the guard, but at this moment, he had no such intention, and he didn't look at the two of them, and left by himself. As for the folded tree lance and purple horse, it is even more mentioned.
Which of the ministers is not a clear-eyed person? When they dispersed, the eyes that looked at Pei Yang and the two of them, some were pity, some were gloating, and more had changed from envy to ignorance.
Pei Guo and Yang Zhong didn't care at all, but in their hearts, the little good impression they had derived from Liang Zhuxiao before had already been swept away.
