Chapter Twenty-Three: Coercion and Temptation
If Wang Wenzheng knew that Xu Conglong was in Chang's house, he wouldn't have come at all. Wang Wenzheng first greeted Chang Ying for a while, and then greeted Chang Gong and his wife, deliberately forcing Xu Conglong away. Chang Gong is also willing to talk to Wang Wenzheng, of course, this is because Xu Conglong is here, otherwise, Chang Gong is reluctant to talk to this brainless Confucian student, even if he is Chang Ying's teacher. And Zhang, who was sitting on the side, was a little absent-minded, she glanced in the direction of Chang Ying and Lin Xiyao from time to time, and saw that the two were talking and laughing, and her brows were sometimes wrinkled, sometimes slow. Chang Ying didn't have so many things to worry about, so he chatted with Lin Xiyao with a match, looking at Lin Xiyao with his eyes, but regret in his heart.
After chatting for a while, Chang Gong probably knew the intention of this Wang Wenzheng, since he started talking to him, this Wang Wenzheng has been talking about his fellow villagers, what they are doing, and a lot of things. Chang Gong glanced at Xu Conglong, no wonder this guy was sitting just now. Wang Wenzheng was still talking, but Chang Gong interrupted him and said, "Mr. Wang, you came to see Ying'er today, we know, I thank you for my eldest brother." Over the years, you have taught this naughty child, and after working hard, my family will not forget your kindness. The meaning of Chang Gong's words is obvious, he is not the master of Changfu, and he has no right to promise you anything, but Changfu will definitely lend a helping hand for the sake of Chang Win's face.
Wang Wenzheng is not a fool, this Chang Gong has already said this, and he has nothing to do, so he has to get up and say goodbye. Xu Conglong saw that Wang Wen was about to leave, put the teacup aside, and said: "Mr. Wang is worthy of being a loyal minister of our court, even if he is not an official in the court, he is so worried about state affairs." Wang Wenzheng knew that Xu Conglong was warning him that he was no longer an official, just an old man with the title of "Prince and Young Master" of the third grade, don't get involved in those party affairs.
Wang Wenzheng looked at Xu Conglong and said flatly: "I cultivate the body of a Confucian scholar, speak the words of a sage, practice the way of a gentleman, serve the country and the people, and have a lot of blood." Although I am old, my spirit is still there, and I can still distinguish between right and wrong, distinguish right from wrong, and please rest assured by Commander Xu. After listening to this, Xu Conglong didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup again and drank the tea in the cup. Chang Ying knew that Wang Wenzheng was angry, and the teacher's temper came up again, waved his hand with Lin Xiyao, and watched Wang Wenzheng pull her away.
Xu Conglong drank the new tea sent and tasted it slowly. Chang Gong couldn't stand it anymore, walked up to Xu Conglong, pulled his face and said, "This tea has also been drunk, the tea has been wrapped, and the matter has been asked, what else do you have to do?" Xu Conglong looked at Chang Gong with a yin face in front of him, smiled, put down the teacup, and said, "Didn't I say it, come and see my nephew?" Saying that, Xu Conglong stood up and went to help Chang Ying, Chang Ying looked confused, looking at the bald and hairless strange uncle, he instantly remembered countless shots in his heart.
Chang Ying was forcibly sent back to his yard by Xu Conglong, and Chang Gong was ready to follow, but was driven back by Xu Conglong on the grounds that he wanted to talk to his nephew. Chang Ying knew that this Uncle Xu was not well-intentioned, and sure enough, as soon as he returned to the house, Xu Conglong lost the enthusiasm just now, looked at Chang Ying, sat down first, and poured a cup of tea. Xu Conglong drank it, and praised it again and again, Chang Ying secretly despised it in his heart, nonsense, it was the chrysanthemum tea made by Lao Tzu himself, which was sweet in the mouth and dispels the heat.
Xu Conglong looked at Chang Ying, who was limping, and said slowly: "Boy, your kung fu is good." Chang Ying was shocked, how could he know about kung fu. Xu Conglong continued: "You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. Judging from your walking, there is no problem, but from your breathing, it is a nine-stage breath, such a strong internal breath, only a person who knows martial arts can do it. After speaking, Xu Conglong looked at Chang Ying, waiting for Chang Ying to say something. Chang Ying ignored him and said with a smile: "Uncle, what are you talking about?" What nine paragraphs, I don't understand. I've done Xiaotao, fights in the alleys, catching birds in the woods, and fishing in the river, so my body is better. ”
After Xu Conglong listened, he took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "Not bad." Chang Ying kept a smile on his face and said, "Uncle, you are too polite, if you want to drink, I will give you some." Xu Conglong twisted his head, held the teacup, and suddenly splashed the tea on Chang Ying, who reacted immediately and flashed. Xu Conglong looked at Chang Ying with a smile, and Chang Ying was a look of remorse. Xu Conglong continued: "Boy, let's show your stuffing." Chang Ying shook his head and said, "Let's be straight, what are you going to do." Xu Conglong put down the teacup, poured a cup of tea, and said slowly: "I have taken a fancy to you and want you to join Jinyiwei." Don't be in a hurry to refuse, your kung fu should have been practiced since childhood, who is the master? How did you get all these wounds? How did the Sun family offend you? What role did the Chang family play in this morning's meeting? It's up to you. ”
Chang Ying has 10,000 sentences in his heart at this moment: "Your sister's!" "Float by, is this a choice for me? Obviously he forced me to join, and it was so natural, a shit. Chang Ying thought about it, sat down, and said to Xu Conglong, "I'll join!" Xu Conglong looked at Chang Ying's face and said, "Don't be unhappy, join Jinyiwei, I will take care of you, but not all the time, only in emergencies." Also, when you join Jinyiwei, the Sun family doesn't dare to make any mistakes, and as soon as you join, you are a hundred households. It's okay usually, do something else by yourself, and I don't care about you. That's a lot of benefits. "Chang Ying listened, it is indeed not bad, with the skin of Jinyiwei, it is also convenient to do certain things.
