Chapter 217: Law-abiding Shaozai

Chang'an is an important place in Qinlong, and the current head of the Yao family of the Western Army is Yao Gu.

The ancestral home of the Yao family is Sanyuan, Shaanxi, close to Chang'an City, starting from Yao, the Yao family has served as the general of the Western Army for generations, and has repeatedly resisted the Western Xia.

Yao Gu has always been in the border barracks, and there is his mansion there, and he is not inferior to the palace.

As for his own family, it was in Chang'an City, Yao Gu's brother died early, leaving a widowed sister-in-law and nephew, who was the current defense envoy of Jingzhao Mansion in Cheng's father's shadow.

Today's young man in the white horse brocade robe is Yao Gu's nephew Yao Pingyi, who is young, and he is the defense envoy of Jingzhao Mansion, and he has been in the Great Song Dynasty, and only in the Western Army will have this kind of treatment.

Now that the Western Xia has been destroyed, although the officials are benevolent, they did not cross the river and demolish the bridge, and immediately cut and dismantle the Western Army, but it is estimated that there will be no special preferential treatment like in the past when they confronted the Western Xia.

After Yao Pingzhong finished speaking, the beautiful woman smiled, and her face was a little naΓ―ve, and all the maids were a little stunned.

The key is that this is not her pretending posture, but she is actually born with a childlike face, which is extremely cute.

Mei'er, the little maid who served Yao Pingzhong, bit her lip secretly, her heart was like biting the juice of grapes, and thought: This lady is so amorous, that is, the girl's heart is shaking when she sees it, no wonder the old man died so early. Fox and charming, definitely Kefu...

Sitting on the chair, Mrs. Yao taught her son a lesson: "Yi'er, Shaozai is the reliance of our Western Army, that is, your uncle in Yan'an Mansion, he is polite to him, it is said that he greeted Shaozai outside Xiazhou City, and it was half a night.

The old man is nearly sixty years old, and he still doesn't dare to hold it up, you are so young, what's wrong with going out. ”

Yao Pingyi snorted coldly, turned his head, and Mrs. Yao was not annoyed, she covered her lips with a fan, and the smile between her eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden.

It can be seen that Yao Pingyi's temperament is pampered by this immature woman.

Such a big event, just a few reprimands, then no longer talk about him, but asked about some trivial things, Yao Pingyi chatted with her with interest after a while.

If he had let his uncle, Yao Gu, a heavy general of the Western Army, know, he would have scolded him to death with a straight face.

Now the Western Army is in an embarrassing situation, the imperial court sent a black envoy, the face is black, the heart is even blacker, the military horses in the northwest have been expanded more than three times, but the original backbone of the Western Army, grassroots officers or strong soldiers with no background and rich military achievements, have been enveloped by him.

Over time, this land of Qinlong has become his Song Jiang's, and Yang Shaozai is the top priority at this time, how can he be easily offended.

Chang'an City, inside an ordinary wine house.

On the stage, the orchids danced, but the drinkers below were attracted by the two young people.

Yang Lin stood proudly, looked at the young man opposite, and hummed: "You still dare to argue with me, do you know what card I am?" ”

"Less nonsense, bet or not!"

The people around applauded, and it could be seen that this young man was quite prestigious in Chang'an, and the men around him surrounded him in the middle, looking at his table with blushing faces and excitement, where there were several horse cards neatly placed.

This is a kind of gambling game invented by Li Qingzhao, a celebrity of the Great Song Dynasty, called "Destiny Fighting Horses", which is quite popular among the people.

Li Qingzhao invented more than 20 kinds of gambling games in his life, and in Li Qingzhao's "Preface to Fighting Horses", the beginning of the article taught people that why can't you be as proficient in gambling as I am?

Then Li Qingzhao talked about experience, saying that only by concentrating on gambling can he be invincible, and the so-called "bloggers do not have it, and those who compete for the first place can do it."

When the Jin soldiers invaded and fled south with many dignitaries, she did not forget to bring her gambling equipment.

And she is not ashamed but proud, afraid that others will not know how powerful she is, so she deliberately wrote a preface to the horse beating, "so that thousands of generations will know their fate to fight horses, starting from Yi'an Jushi".

Yang Lin is playing this game now, beauty, audience, applause... All of them bake the atmosphere to the highest level, which makes people excited.

This kind of feeling is only found in this kind of wine house, if it is in the courtyard of the exquisite building, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music is ethereal, it is very elegant, but it is also a little boring in the end.

It is rare for Yang Lin to understand the fun of the people of the Great Song Dynasty in the market, so he is naturally comfortable and completely relaxes himself.

The tense nerves are Tubo, Qarakhanid, Daliao, Jurchen... The heads are all big.

The soldiers of the Long Live Battalion were frequent visitors to these places back then, and they found fun with Yang Lin in a familiar way.

Yang Lin has survived until now, and he is also very strong, in fact, the cards are surprisingly bad.

He wanted to scare the other side so that he didn't dare to follow him anymore, who knew that the kid was also a hard stubble, but he refused to admit it, and now the gambling money has reached fifty.

In this kind of small wine house, fifty guan is already an incredible number, Yang Lin had to throw out a few more and said, "Let's have a showdown." ”

After seeing the opposite card clearly, Yang Lin, who had already thought that he would lose, was stunned and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, you are smaller than mine." He even tried to scare me away, and he was treacherous. ”

"You're no better!" The young man on the other side lost the money, but he was not annoyed, and said with a smile waving his fingers.

Lu Qian stood aside and shook his head secretly, he made a mistake, Shaozai was already a little lustful, if he was involved in the bad habit of Guan Pu, how could it be good.

Lu Qian, who was heartbroken for Yang Lin every day, stepped forward and whispered: "Shaozai, it's time to rest." ”

Yang Lin was indeed a little tired, especially after so many days of traveling, if he took a bath and slept comfortably, it was really a rare pleasure, so he went out of the wine house with him.

After coming out, Yang Lin distributed the money he won to his subordinates, and then said: "Our Great Song Dynasty has banned Guan Pu, and only on Shangyuan Festival and New Year's Day, the imperial court will grant permission for three days." These people gathered a crowd to pounce and sent individuals to the yamen to report the case. ”

Lu Qian's face turned red and coughed again.

Yang Lin frowned and said with concern: "Lu Qian, you have a cough twice in three days, don't you have any serious diseases, but you have a headache?" ”

"Xie Shaozai cares, his subordinates are fine... It's okay. ”

"That's good, let me ask you, how to punish Guan Pu?" That kid just now was quite angry with Yang Lin, and the punishment was too heavy.

In the northwest region, gambling became commonplace, and the reason for this was that the Western Army was at war with the Western Xia at that time, and they died at every turn, and many soldiers had nowhere to spend their money.

If you don't spend it today, you will die tomorrow and there will be nothing left.

Like Han Shizhong, is a clear example, he has made countless meritorious contributions and rewarded a lot of silver, but he has lost. Over time, he gained a reputation as a bad gambler.

"Go back to Shaozai, play thirty boards."

"Okay, send someone to the yamen, since there is a law, you have to obey it, besides, gambling is not a good thing."

Lu Qian: ......
