Chapter 52: The Rootless Child
Some things will happen after all, just three days before Qu Xiangtian led the troops to Bazhou, when everyone gathered together to drink and talk, Fang Qingze suddenly held a wine glass and said with drunken eyes: "Lu Yunzhi, why do you look a little similar to Tan Qing." As soon as these words came out, although the rest of the people were still giggling and unaware, Lu Yunzhi and Chao Xing were shocked and glanced at each other.
Lu Yunzhi nodded at Chao Xing, and Chao Xing asked, "Tan Qing, I have something I want to ask you, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Tan Qingwan replied with a smile: "Chao senior, the Han people are so pretentious, they obviously want to ask but are embarrassed to say it, and deliberately say things like they should not say it, where can others refuse when this remark comes out, so according to the rules of your Han people, should I answer, old-timer, but it doesn't hurt to say it, haha." ”
As soon as Tan Qing said this, the punishment was a little embarrassing, and he didn't know where to start for a while, Bai Yong hurriedly said: "Tan Qing, look at you, you don't choose what to say again, hurry up and make amends to the old Chao seniors." Tan Qing was also obedient, took the wine and saluted Chao Xing, and then drank it all before he said: "I offended just now, but I think all people are the same, there is no difference, the key is the education of the day after tomorrow, our frontier children read less, and there is not so much red tape, and the Han people are deeply influenced by Confucianism, so they speak twisted and pinched to hide, this habit is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is also a kind of style, no wonder you call yourself the state of etiquette, even the heroes of Chao's predecessors, are also deeply influenced by Confucianism, the folk customs are different, by the way, Chao seniors, what do you have to ask. ”
Chao Xing cleared his throat and asked, "I have come into contact with some Miao people, but I have never heard of the surname Tan, and you are also a descendant of Han Miao." ”
"This question is a long story, but it doesn't mean anything, I'll make a long story short, I was adopted, as for where I was raised by my mother, I don't know, and I have never heard her talk about the origin of my surname, it may be a family surnamed Tan, our Miao Gu lineage master must be inherited by the Miao family, unless I am a child who has no source to raise an exception." Tan Qing said and drank another glass of wine, and then said: "You Han people's wine is really not strong enough, wait for me to get some of our Miao family's medicinal wine and give it to you to taste." Tan Qing got up and walked out, and Bai Yong followed closely behind and shouted, "I'll help you." Lu Yunzhi and Chao Xing glanced at each other again, bowed their heads and said nothing.
After Tan Qingbai Yong left, Zhu Jianwen's eyes rolled and Lu Yunzhi asked: "What's the matter, Lu Yunzhi, I'm also interested in this girl, I looked at Uncle Chao just now, I'll order you, don't you see Bai Yong and Tan Qingmei looking at each other every day, if you do this, you won't be afraid that Bai Yong will be dissatisfied with you." ”
"What nonsense." Lu Yunzhi picked up a piece of fruit on the table and threw it at Zhu Jianwen, and said with some annoyance, but Zhu Jianwen was happy: "Look, you can't say a few words and you're in a hurry, there must be a ghost in your heart, you are embarrassed to ask, just let Uncle Chao ask for you, if you don't have that meaning, what to do if you ask about the affairs of the girl's family." When the leopard heard this, he raised his head and looked at Lu Yunzhi with some suspicion on his face, and he must have thought of his sister Yingzi in his heart, if Lu Yunzhi dared to admit his good impression of Tan Qing, the leopard might rush up and fight with the negative man he thought he had.
Seeing this, Chao Xing hurriedly continued: "We just suspect that Tan Qing is Yunzhi's sister. As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at Lu Yunzhi, Lu Yunzhi just nodded slightly, and everyone was even more shocked, Fang Qingze said: "Third brother, what is going on." ”
Chao Xing briefly said the ins and outs of the matter, Lu Yunzhi instructed: "Don't mention it for a while, and slowly study it in the future, if it is really to explain the situation, after all, whether the previous Miao Gu vein master concealed anything, and where the surname Tan came from, we don't know, maybe someone's taboo may not be able to say, don't ask wrong, the brother and sister didn't recognize it but affected the relationship, then the gain outweighed the loss, she came." ”
Lu Yunzhi's ears moved slightly, and he heard the footsteps of Tan Qing and Bai Yong walking quickly, and hurriedly silenced everyone, everyone was silent, Tan Qing and Bai Yong walked in with a jar of medicinal wine, but saw that everyone was staring at them carefully, Bai Yong was stunned and asked: "What are you looking at us like this, it's weird." ”
The leopard mountain bandit temperament is now revealed, and a sentence rushes out: "Who looks at you, we are watching" Zhu Jianwen stepped on the leopard's feet under the table fiercely, and hurriedly said: "Why is Lao Qu so late in marching." After Tan Qing poured wine for everyone, Lu Yunzhi shook his head and said: "I don't know if the eldest brother did this, he used to always like to say that the soldiers are expensive and fast, but this time it is slow, Dong De Arong, who is traveling with the army, and the eldest brother also avoids it, and I am very puzzled now." ”
Fang Qingze took a sip of the medicinal wine in the bowl, bared his teeth, and said to Tan Qing: "What is this wine brewing, it tastes so strange." "Centipedes, scorpions, corpse insects" Before Tan Qing finished speaking, Fang Qingze hurriedly waved his hand to stop and said: "Don't say it, I drink it is for you to keep talking, it is estimated that few people can drink it." And they burst out laughing,
Fang Qingze and others stopped laughing, and then said: "My eldest brother marched at such a speed, didn't he give Yu Qian a great opportunity, according to the scout's report, Yu Qian has been gathering troops with all his strength this month, plus the Ming army that fought with us before, has also returned to Beijing, although we have been chased and killed all the way, but the foundation has not moved, in this way, we have a fierce battle outside the capital, and the speed advantage we occupied before and the actions involving the troops have also become useless." ”
"In fact, we didn't have much troops involved before, it was nothing more than that the Nanjing army was dragged by Qu Xiangtian, the preparation army in Henan and Shandong and the reinforcements in the capital and the Qinwang army were in a stalemate, and the originally expected strategy of involving troops in the northwest and northern Xinjiang was stillborn without being used, I think it is precisely because of this change in the battle situation that Lu Yunzhi also changed his strategy." The leopard didn't care what was brewed in the wine, and drank it all at once.
Bai Yong smiled slightly, picked up the wine jar to fill it for the leopard, and then picked up the wine glass and said to the leopard: "It is worthy of being the lord's eldest brother, Bai Yong admires, seeing that you are brave in battle, I didn't expect that you are still a bold and careful general, I respect you for this cup." After the leopard and Bai Yong clashed glasses and drank the wine, Bai Yong said: "What Mr. Leopard said is not bad, but we gathered in the small city of Bazhou to wait for General Qu's army, and then led the troops to surround the capital, not to let the troops from all over the country reinforce, now General Qu's reinforcements have not arrived, if the troops are still besieging the city according to the old plan, they are weak everywhere, in short, the plan is chaotic, hey." ”
"Bai Yong, there are no rules, you are not allowed to complain about my eldest brother." Lu Yunzhi reprimanded,
