Chapter 43: The Great Husband
"Hey, hey, hey," Seeing that the other side was real, Chen Cheng hurriedly said, "I'm not guilty of death, right?" β
The young man in the carriage laughed and said, "Another fool! β
Wang Yue took a step forward, and the long sword at his waist had already been drawn. With the momentum of stepping forward, he slashed with his sword in both hands.
"Hey," Chen Cheng flicked the reins, and the horse sprang to the side, avoiding the slash from the bottom up.
Gollum ran down the avenue and turned sideways, Chen Cheng frowned on the horse's back and said, "In broad daylight, you dare to kill someone?" Are you not afraid of the king's law? β
The young man's face was gloomy, he snorted, and said to Wang Yue: "You boast that your swordsmanship is unparalleled on weekdays, and you can't even kill a pariah, what do you want?" β
Wang Yue was ashamed, but he distinguished: "His horse is weird, and it moves too fast!" β
"Hmph, if you don't have that strength, don't brag nonsense!" The young man withdrew his gaze, looked at the sky, and said, "Boy over there, offer the horse, and I can make you die a happy death." β
Chen Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, I can see that you guys really don't care about human life." Let's say goodbye! β
With that, he turned his horse's head and ran towards Luoyang.
On the carriage, the young man was furious and shouted: "Chase, chase to the ends of the earth and catch that guy, provoke me Yuan Shu and still want to run?" β
Made, that nasty guy is Yuan Shu? Chen Cheng was a little impatient for a while, this is also the lord of the world, why don't you kill it? But looking at the surrounding environment, many private soldiers of the official eunuch house are looking at this side with vigilant eyes,
According to rough estimates, there were more than 500 people with weapons and many with bows and arrows.
So, he continued to run.
The cavalry in the trilogy rushed out on horseback and chased after them with swords, spears and other weapons. When the passers-by on the side heard that this person was the "ghost in the road" Yuan Highway, their faces changed greatly and they were even farther away.
Gollum's speed was very fast, and he ran out a long way after a while, but unless he didn't go to Luoyang, the more than thirty cavalry behind him would catch up sooner or later. Chen Cheng looked back and said in his heart: "I said a long time ago to be low-key, to be low-key, why can't you control this mouth?" If you are soft, you will die! Now it's okay, I've come all the way, maybe I'm going to run away soon. β
Ahead, Luoyang is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more people in the pavilions and inns on both sides of the road. Seeing this group of cavalry rushing along the road, the pedestrians were shocked. But such a situation is not uncommon in Luoyang now. Since Cao Mengde went, the magnates in Luoyang have become more arrogant day by day, and they will make something happen every once in a while.
At the city gate, a middle-aged official with long sleeves and a crown and a big shirt saw the chickens flying and dogs jumping behind, and couldn't help frowning, and said to the general at the city gate: "Go and stop them, what should I do when the horse steps on someone?" β
The general guarding the city gate recognized this middle-aged official and knew that it was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, so he hurriedly said: "Obey Cai Yilang's orders!" β
He turned around and said, "Stop, stop those fanatics!" β
The guards at the gate are all the elite of the Northern Army, and although they are now in decline, they are still one of the most elite soldiers in the Empire. A dozen pikemen on the pier platform rushed out, standing shoulder to shoulder in the road, while the crossbowmen pulled their bowstrings from high and made a gesture of shooting.
Seeing that many enemies suddenly appeared in front of him, Chen Cheng did not hesitate, and immediately went down the avenue and ran into the wilderness. Seeing this, the pursuers behind him also ran down the avenue. Luoyang is the center of the empire, that is, outside the city, and every inch of land is gold, and there are many eunuchs and servants.
When they got down the road, they knocked over a lot of baskets and startled a lot of mules and horses. After the cavalry rushed over, several carriages overturned on the side of the road.
Seeing such a situation, the general guarding the gate said angrily: "These guys are really getting more and more excessive! β
He glanced at Cai Yong, gritted his teeth and said, "I have to arrest these guys today!" Lead my horse! β
Relying on the high level of "horsemanship" and the war horse under his crotch running fast enough, Chen Cheng took a while to get rid of the pursuers, but he was farther away from Luoyang. Moreover, he only got rid of the pursuers for the time being, and there were more and more people outside who wanted to capture him.
The Yuan family is worthy of being the top nobles of the fourth world and the third duke, and Yuan Shu released a casual sentence, and there were thousands of people in and outside the city who wanted to take his reward. If it weren't for the ability of the war horse under the crotch to have unlimited endurance, I am afraid that it would have been glued to it a long time ago. He didn't even get a chance to defend himself, and no one asked him what he had done.
Recalling the situation in Liaoxi that day, and comparing the embarrassed appearance of being chased now, I really drove high and walked low! Perhaps, it was a mistake to come to Luoyang. If you think about it carefully, it is better to stay in Liaoxi, it is said that the golden horn and silver edge grass belly, Luoyang lives in the world, that is the belly of the belly.
As the sun sinks, red dots of light begin to flicker again on the edge of the minimap, indicating that the enemy has entered the battlefield. Chen Cheng couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, and then sighed; "Is it so hard to do something good? Do you have to keep your voice down? It's a pity that I have good martial arts! β
He was howling on the side of the road, and the sound was loud enough, and the people around him couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes.
In the distance, a loud voice came, "If you are really good at martial arts, I will recruit you into the West Park Army, how about it?" β
Chen Cheng followed the prestige, but it was a majestic man with a length of eight feet who was speaking. The man rode a fine Xiliang war horse, surrounded by dozens of cavalrymen, all wearing fiery red robes, carrying weapons such as ring-headed knives and spears, and some of them also carried strong bows and arrows, obviously the soldiers of the imperial court.
He saw that the other party was carrying a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his voice was like a bell, and between his thoughts, the appearance of being commanding was like seeing another Gongsun Zhan. Chen Cheng also knew about the Xiyuan Army, Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, and several princes, all of whom had mixed in the Xiyuan Army.
Originally, Gongwei Luoyang has always been a matter of the Northern Army, and the reason why the Son of Heaven took great pains to establish the Xiyuan Army was because the central forbidden army of the imperial court, that is, the Northern Army, repeatedly participated in the imperial court coup d'Γ©tat and interfered in the abolition of the establishment, which made the Son of Heaven very dissatisfied.
Hearing that the person was from the Xiyuan Army, Chen Cheng was overjoyed, and now he finally didn't have to run away, and he didn't have to come to Luoyang in vain. So he took more than ten steps forward on his horse, and said in a loud voice: "I have my own good martial arts, and I originally planned to join the army, but because I was chased here because of the evil Yuan Shu Yuan Highway, I don't know how to recruit me into the West Garden of the Son of Heaven?" β
He said in his heart: This person is so tall, it must not be Cao Mengde, could it be Yuan Shao? Although Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway are brothers, the two have always been against each other, if this person is Yuan Shao, then there is no need to be afraid of that Yuan Shu.
"Hey, what is Yuan Highway?" The man said arrogantly: "Come to me, I want to see how dare Yuan Shu dare to take someone in front of me." β
Hearing that this person was not afraid of Yuan Shu, Chen Cheng was even more happy. The Xiyuan Army seems to be the sphere of influence of the great general He Jin, as long as he joins in, with his buddy's ability, are you still afraid that he can't get close to He Jin?
After Chen Cheng drove the horse over, the man said again: "Looking at your appearance, you also have some courage. Wait until I've sent those thieves away, and then try your skills. β
Chen Cheng smiled: "Then thank you very much." β
This time, he learned to be obedient, and he said good things, but he didn't know how to do it.
Hundreds of horsemen chased along the road, led by Wang Yue, who had met once. He saw the situation here from a distance, and he was shocked in his heart, reined in his horse, and said in a loud voice: "The one in front is the captain of the military colonel?" β
Captain in the military? Yo Ho, he is also one of the eight captains of the West Garden. Hmm, Chen Cheng thought about it carefully, who are the eight captains of the West Garden? Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, these two brothers must have it, it seems that there is still Zhang Yang, Bao Xin?
As he was recalling, the majestic man in front of him laughed on horseback and said, "Since you know it's me, what are you doing here?" β
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his face and shouted, "Why don't you get out of here?" β
Wang Yue's heart is nameless, he is a famous swordsman in Beijing, his swordsmanship is not trivial, but he was first scolded by Yuan Shu, and now he is being called by the person in front of him, if he is according to his temper, he will be stabbed when he draws his sword. But.......... He didn't dare.
Whether it is Yuan Shu or the captain in front of him, he is not a swordsman who can afford to provoke him. He could only comfort himself in his heart: if he wanted to be a marquis and pay homage to the general, he would inevitably have to endure some humiliation.
Wang Yue suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed at Chen Cheng with his finger, and said, "Yuan Shu Yuan Gongzi asked for that person by name, and I hope that the captain will make it convenient." β
Chen Cheng's body was dusty, completely different from the fiery red robes on the captains and others, so they were scattered in the crowd, and they could be seen at a glance. He is not afraid now, as long as the emperor is okay, the Xiyuan Army is the most trusted army. No matter how arrogant and domineering Yuan Shu is, he doesn't dare to do anything to the Xiyuan Army, right?
Besides, how could Yuan Benchu sell Yuan Shu's face? The two are facing each other.
The captain clasped his hands in front of his chest, sneered, and said: "Runan Yuan, such a big name, but you remember it clearly for me, this is Luoyang, not Runan!" If you don't get out, I will slaughter them all on the charge of colliding with the army, and then punish your three clans! β
Hey, wait, that tone seems a little wrong! Yuan Benchu, aren't you also from the Runan Yuan family? Why do you say that? Chen Cheng blinked, feeling that things seemed to be out of his imagination.
Speaking of which, not only Wang Yue, but also those behind him all changed their faces drastically, and they didn't dare to stay any longer. Wang Yue arched his hand and said: "Since the captain of the military academy protects that kid, even if his life is big!" Let's go! β
After saying that, he turned the horse's head, but before leaving, he couldn't help but put down a cruel sentence, "Today's matter, the Yuan family will definitely not give up!" β
"Hahaha," laughed the captain of the Colonel, "and if there is a seed, let the horses come!" If Yuan Highway really has the ability, he will come to the army to arrest people, then I admire him. If he doesn't dare to come, then he is raised by a little maid! β
Well, now that Chen Cheng has determined, this person is definitely not Yuan Shao. So who could he be? Even the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes is not afraid, could it be another member of the Yang family of the fourth and third dukes? But I haven't heard that there are any well-known generals in the Yang family, wasn't Yang Xiu stuck by chicken ribs?
He thought for a while, decided not to speculate, and asked directly: "Great grace is not grateful, please feel free to tell me if it is useful in the future." It's just that I don't know what your name is? β
Before the captain could answer, the cavalry on the side had already rushed to say: "This is Marshal Jian Shuo of our Xiyuan Army!" β
The voice of the person who spoke was very loud, obviously proud of his own boss, but in Chen Cheng's ears, it was like a big thunderbolt on a sunny day. Jian Shuo....... That's not the person I'm looking for!
He swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty, "Isn't it a military captain?" How did you become a marshal again? β
Jian Shuo sneered: "It's true that I am a captain of the army, but His Majesty ordered me to be the marshal of the Xiyuan Army and lead the whole army!" β
Well, you win. Chen Cheng looked at the beard on Jian Shuo's chin, and felt that he was not wronged this time, who would have thought that Jian Shuo, a dead eunuch, would have the skin of an iron-clad husband? Good eunuch, what are you doing with a beard?
Originally, he planned to join He Jin's side, but now he has become one of the ten permanent servants by mistake, and he doesn't know if it will work in the future.
