Chapter 283: The Road Meets Zhengxing
Qian Yuanwai didn't want to cause trouble, so he said: "Yes, one for one!" ”
Xue Caiwei said: "One for two!" ”
Qu Ping said: "Outside the money officer, you see, my elephant is at least four times the size of a horse, is docile and intelligent, and can do any rough and heavy work." ”
"It's so good, you keep it for yourselves!" Qian Yuanwai is an authentic businessman, and bargaining is commonplace for him.
"Isn't it like horses are running fast? We use horses to drive, you use elephants to pull goods, everyone has their own place, the best of both worlds! ”
Qu Ping took the trouble to bargain with Qian Yuanwai, and Xue Caiwei turned around and took a sword from the elephant's back, for fear that Qian Yuanwai would not see it, and pulled out a section of the sword to look at it for a while.
Qian Yuanwai caught a glimpse of Xue Caiwei taking out a weapon, afraid that the other party would violently rob the money, worried that he would lose both his people and money, so he quickly changed his smile and said: "Two horses are two, deal!" ”
Qu Ping asked Xiao Hei to remove the luggage from the elephant's back and exchanged the elephant and the money clerk for two horses.
After checking that both horses were healthy, Qu Ping finally said goodbye to the elephant.
The elephant seemed to understand Qu Ping's words, and called "hey" twice, which was regarded as a farewell.
Qu Ping gave Xue Caiwei a horse, and let Xiao Hei lead the other.
Qu Ping said to Xue Caiwei: "Okay, what are you pulling out your sword for, it's like a robbery?" ”
Xue Caiwei said: "No matter how long he dares to be long-winded, I really want to rob." Okay, the good people also let you do it, let's go our separate ways, and we'll meet again! ”
"You're going to go on your own?" Qu Ping was surprised, "Isn't there a response to go together?" ”
"I have my Jianghu Road, you have your official road, the road leads to the sky, let's go one side!" Xue Caiwei said.
There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and there is always one person who has to go first, so it is better to separate.
Qu Ping said: "Okay, let's leave it at that." By the way, you are a member of the Martial Arts Association, and I will give you instructions if necessary. Ha ha. ”
Xue Caiwei smiled and said, "Listen to the honor, president." Xue Caiwei got on the horse and slapped the horse's buttocks with the scabbard, and the horse was in pain and galloped forward.
"Say hello to him for me!" Xue Caiwei shouted without looking back, and one person and one horse gradually disappeared into the distance.
Xiao Hei asked, "Master, who did she say hello to?" ”
"Old object, no, old good."
Xiao Hei repeated the three words of the old good, not understanding what it meant.
Qu Ping said: "Are you in a hurry to teach you martial arts from your predecessors? ”
Xiao Hei replied: "Remember seven, seven, eight, eight." ”
Xiao Hei muttered in his heart, obviously you are your own master, but you let others teach you kung fu.
Qu Ping saw his thoughts and said, "Other people teach you, it is considered extracurricular tutoring, and I am here as a compulsory course." In the future, you follow me and have a lot of time to study! ”
Xiao Hei said happily: "Yes, master! Master, where do we go next? ”
"Shanxi." Qu Ping stepped on the horse, pulled Xiao Hei onto the horse, sat behind him, and sang a Peking Opera song, "I am Wollongong, a scattered person......
A few days later, the two vigorous and powerful words "Shanxi" on the city gate finally appeared in front of him. The emperor lives up to his wishes, and the iron shoes are finally here.
In 937 A.D., Baiman Duan Siping united the 37th Department of Eastern Yunnan to destroy the Yang family, established the Dali State, the capital of Dali Mansion, the administrative division of eight prefectures, four counties and four towns, Shanxian Mansion is one of the eight prefectures, and is the Tokyo of Dali State. Shanxian City is bordered by Panlong River in the east, Yudai River in the south, Jiming Bridge in the west, and Wuhua Mountain in the north. Intercity Dianchi Lake, water on three sides, both dangerous and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Shanxian trade, internal export to Dali, east to Yongzhou, south can be with Southeast Asian countries in general, economic and political is very important.
Since Qu Ping's proposal, the Yunnan Road Mansion was moved to Shanxian Mansion, so that Shanxian has been further developed. Economic, political, military, and cultural prosperity has been unprecedented.
However, the two or two words of "Shanxi" are really unrecognizable without culture, and they may not be able to pronounce them if they are familiar with culture.
Xiao Hei was stumped by these two words: "Master, in that frame on the city gate, is it a painting or a word?" ”
Qu Ping explained to him: "You don't read much, it's not your fault. These two words, pronounced 'Shan'. ”
Xiao Hei read it a few times and kept it in his heart.
The gates are guarded by guards, and entry and exit are strictly checked. Qu Ping took Xiao Hei to the city gate, but was stopped by the guards.
Qu Ping said: "I have searched for you, except for a horse, unarmed, and the silver is only this ingot, if you want to take it." ”
How dare the guards take the people's money under the blue sky and daylight, and stop them: "Who wants your broken silver!" The latter one, the black and the falling, what is the origin? No entry without identification! ”
Qu Ping's heart is bad, he is a piece of Xiangwang's seal is considered a proof of identity, Xiao Hei is a 100% black household, and he will definitely not be able to enter the city.
Qu Ping approached the leader of the guards, quietly stuffed the silver into his hand, and said, "Little brother, be accommodating, he is my servant, and he picked it up on the road, it's pitiful." ”
The leader of the guards pushed Qu Ping's hand away, took a step back, and scolded: "Bold, dare to bribe this official in a grand manner!" See the sign in front of the door? No entry without identification! ”
Qu Ping glanced at the front of the gate and really posted a notice. Qu Ping was about to take out the seal of King Xiang, when there was a sudden commotion behind him.
The leader of the guards also hurriedly pushed Qu Ping and the others away, and ordered the other guards: "Quick! Clear the gates and roads! Folks, let one on both sides! ”
Who is fighting such a big battle?
Qu Ping retreated to the side of the road and looked behind, a team of more than 100 people was rushing to the city gate, and a large flag was held high, with "Duan" written on it. There were horses in the procession, and in the middle there was a noble carriage.
Qu Ping asked the guards: "Is it Lord Duan?" ”
The guard shouted: "Duan Wangye, can you call casually?" Get out of the way! "Book it
Qu Ping was overjoyed, great, I met Duan Zhengxing here, so I saved myself trouble.
When the front of the team entered the city, and the carriage in the middle was about to pass by Qu Ping, Qu Ping shouted loudly: "Brother Zhengxing, don't come unharmed!" ”
Duan Zhengxing's soldiers were furious, who dared to be so powerless, and it was too rude to call the prince by his name in public, and he had to be taught a lesson.
The six generals rode up to Qu Ping, ready to give him some color.
Duan Zhengxing was interlocking his affectionate fingers with Princess Zhao Xiaolan in the carriage, and was shocked when he suddenly heard someone outside calling his name.
"This voice seems familiar." Duan Zhengxing said.
This voice is not familiar, it is strange, when Duan Zhengxing and Qu Ping sent troops all the way from Dali to meet the Jiaozhi army, and went straight to Shenglong, listening to Qu Ping's teachings day and night, can he not be familiar with it?
Zhao Xiaolan used to be a maid by Zhao Ping'er's side, and the most important thing is to be able to observe words and colors, and this ability to listen to voices and distinguish people is a piece of cake. Zhao Xiaolan listened to this voice, although she hadn't seen it for many years, she was still a little familiar.
The husband and wife looked at each other and nodded.
Duan Zhengxing opened the curtain and saw a tall, thin-faced, and somewhat swarthy middle-aged man outside, standing on the side of the road like a gun, looking at him with bright eyes.
Isn't it Qu Ping, the king of Xiang? How did you lose weight like this?
Duan Zhengxing saw that his subordinates were about to surround Qu Ping, and he was about to block his sight, he quickly stopped the carriage and scolded his subordinates to back down, and he and Zhao Xiaolan quickly got out of the car, approached Qu Ping and whispered: "Lord Wang, it's really you!" ”
"Then there can be a fake!" Qu Ping said with a smile.
Zhao Xiaolan saluted and said, "Lord Wang." ”
Qu Ping nodded to Zhao Xiaolan, she now has the demeanor of everyone, and she has long since retired from the appearance of the maid of the year.
Duan Zhengxing said: "There are many people here, let's talk about it in detail when I go home." ”
Qu Ping pulled Xiao Hei over and introduced, "Don't worry. Come, Xiao Hei, I've seen Lord Duan. ”
Duan Zhengxing was startled when he saw Qu Ping pull out a black human body from behind him: "What's the matter!" ”
Xiao Hei bowed and said, "I've seen Lord Duan, I'm Xiao Hei." ”
Qu Ping continued: "It's the apprentice I recognized on the road. ”
"I don't think it's a little black, it's very dark." Duan Zhengxing muttered, "Lord Wang, are you bullying our Great Song Dynasty?" ”
"Ugly duckling, he's becoming a black swan one day, do you believe it or not?" Qu Ping said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, let's go home with you first, we're all starving to death!" ”
Duan Zhengxing invited Qu Ping and said, "Let's get into my carriage together!" ”
Qu Ping said embarrassedly: "Isn't this okay? ”
"Spacious above, no problem. Let's go! ”
Qu Ping saw that Duan Zhengxing insisted on doing so, so he took Xiao Hei to follow Duan Zhengxing and his wife into the carriage, and the four of them sat in pairs and twos, which was quite spacious.
Duan Zhengxing let the team continue to move forward, and then said to Qu Ping: "Congratulations to the prince first, you have escaped and have to return to your homeland!" ”
Zhao Xiaolan said: "When I heard Sister Ping'er talk about the disaster that the prince encountered, we were all very worried. I'm afraid you...... Fortunately, Wang Yeji people have their own natural appearance. ”
"Haha, this is called a catastrophe, and if you don't die, you will have a blessing!" Qu Ping smiled heartily.
Duan Zhengxing said with embarrassment: "It's true that the catastrophe doesn't die, and I don't know if there is a blessing in the future." ”
Qu Ping saw that Duan Zhengxing and Zhao Xiaolan both seemed to have scruples, so he asked, "What happened?" ”
Duan Zhengxing knew that he couldn't hide this matter from Qu Ping, so it was better to tell him the truth earlier, so that Qu Ping could make plans early.
Duan Zhengxing said: "The prince has just come back, I'm afraid I don't know yet." Your Majesty, it has been announced that your knighthood will be abolished! ”
Qu Ping's head went blank after listening to it, and he was completely unbelievable, he was working desperately outside, fighting with people, and even with the sky, but in the end, he was told that the emperor abolished his title!
Joke, big joke!
Qu Ping couldn't believe it and said, "Impossible, right? How can it be? When pigs fly? ”
"Our Duan clan has also been an emperor, and we know what it means to accompany a king like a tiger." Duan Zhengxing told Qu Ping what he knew truthfully, "The Criminal Department has collected the ten major crimes of the prince, and the two most serious of them are the first to go out with his family to garrison overseas, and the other is to murder the first emperor. ”
Qu Ping thought to himself, what kind of crime is this, it has nothing to do with him at all!
"Of course, with the return of the princess and you to Beijing, the first charge is naturally self-defeating. Now it's up to the prince to explain this second article to the emperor. Duan Zhengxing said one by one.
Qu Ping said: "This is all nothing! Even if the emperor wants to punish me, at least he will have to wait until I return to Beijing and interrogate me in person before he can make a verdict, right? ”
Duan Zhengxing wanted to speak and stopped: "Perhaps, the emperor wants to make a fuss about you, and by the way, make your article." ”
"Make a fuss about me?" Qu Ping couldn't figure it out.
"I'm a far away emperor, and I'm not familiar with things in the capital. I'm afraid that this answer needs to be answered by the prince in person! ”
Qu Ping nodded, there was no other way.
It's like a man working hard outside, and as soon as he comes home for the New Year, his original partner says that I have divorced you.
No one in the world can understand and accept this result, right?
Qu Ping said: "It seems that it really means the emperor." The old man in the criminal department, who looks like a muddy all day long, is waiting to retire and return to his hometown, he has no courage or heart to be this budding bird. ”
