In the sixth year of Xianqing (661 AD), the eighth day of the first month of spring, it was not six quarters.

Luoyang Fushan Fang, Qinglou Yanbin Building, the luxury box on the second floor, the confrontation is tense. The left team of the Wu camp is Zhao Sheng, guarding the left side of the big guy, and confronting all the tribes with a single knife. There are more than a dozen parts, seven or eight courtyards, and the blade has been unsheathed.

In front of the trilogy team, stood a middle-aged man, with an unusually burly figure. Wu Kang knew him, his surname was Zheng Mingguang, the word Rentai, and he was from Kaifeng County, Bianzhou. Fifty-eight years old this year, meritorious service to the pillar country, knighthood Tong'an County Duke, official worship of the right military general.

In his early years, he voted for Li Shimin, a staff member of the Qin Palace, and could be called a confidant. Participated in the war of the early Tang Dynasty, pacified the war of Liu Wuzhou, Song King Kong Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande. Xuanwumen coup, he is in the vanguard, and his qualifications are quite old. He once followed Li Tao and Niu Jinda, and crusaded against Goguryeo twice, which can be described as brilliant.

However, in the Qin Palace, the birth status is low, so when he is in Zhenguan, he does not show the mountains and water. Although he has been on the battlefield for a long time, he is a deputy general and has never been in charge. When Li Jiu came to power, he became a general by virtue of his military qualifications.

Wu Kang's previous life was also a native of Kaifeng County, and he can be called a fellow countryman. With some good feelings, he took the initiative to get up and salute, and decided to salute first and then soldier. It is best to lower your posture first, and it is best to calm things down, after all, you are a general, and you can't make a knot.

Zheng Rentai got down the stairs, returned the salute with a pleasant face, and said: "It's funny, let your family be ruined, how can the old man be deed?" To put it mildly, only saints can control our life and death. ”

After telling the truth, he turned around and trained the subordinates: "Wine bags and rice bags, put away the knives and wait outside the door." Are they all blind, do you know who he is? Jinhua County Gongwu changed, and Queen Wu's father and brother, the general of Zuo Qianniufu, were on an equal footing with the old man. ”

The show worked very well, the song retreated in a panic, and the nursing home was full of urine. The old bustard's intestines repented, and finally believed at this moment that he dared to demolish Yan Binlou, not without purpose. The bold man secretly looked at it, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, why was the narcissus also there, or didn't he apply powder?

Soon the crowd receded, and in the empty private room, only Lao Zheng and Lao Bustard remained. Li Chunfeng got up and exchanged some nonsense, and Lao Zheng instructed Lao Bustard: "Lan Niang go and prepare quickly, please ask Deng Juju to accompany her, and bring bamboo leaf wine." The old man is happy today, and he wants to have a few drinks with the virtuous brother of change. ”

For the time being, the wind was calm, and Li Chunfeng moved his position and sat in the northern main seat. Wu Kang was kind and pleasant, signaled Zhao Sheng to guard the door, and beckoned the guests to sit down. Zheng Rentai was not polite, with a big Malaysian golden sword, and sat opposite him.

Recognizing the little brother Narcissus, his yellow face was slightly stunned, and his eagle eyes flashed fiercely. Although his expression changes quickly, he is fully visible. Wu Kang didn't care, among the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya, the status of the second martial guard was higher than that of the two thousand Niu Mansion. But in reality, the rest of the guards of Nanya, unless they had to do so, would not offend Qianniu Mansion.

Left and right Qianniu Mansion, not to lead the Chong Mansion, just bodyguards and guards. More popularly, the guards with knives in front of the emperor, the emperor's side. At the same time, the guards were monitored and reported directly to the emperor. If they speak ill of you, the saints will gradually alienate you, who can withstand this?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Sheng got permission to open the door and let people in. Lan Niang took the beauty and snorted angrily: "The two generals are Rongyu, this is my family's move, she and Brother Narcissus are side by side on the pillar of Yan Bin." General Wu was a distinguished guest, and he served him wholeheartedly, and the slaves retired first. ”

Deng Juju raised his skirt and raised the corners of his skirt, he is indeed a great beauty. Wu Kang secretly thought that his appearance and temperament were two points inferior to that of a plain lady. At the moment when she was about to enter the table, the lady in plain clothes said gently: "The wine in the cup is still warm, and Lang Jun drinks it in time." ”

The voice was euphemistic and beautiful, Wu Kang rolled his eyes lightly, this is also a scheming girl. But to give you face, raise a glass to invite VIPs, Li Chunfeng participated, and Zheng Rentai was perfunctory. Lifting his face without changing his color, he walked to the opposite side of the Hu table and sat on the right side of Rentai.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, Rentai's intentions were frustrated, and Wu Kang scoffed. I wanted Juju to accompany me, and Su Nu went over to accompany him, but people were not happy. At the same time, I also understood that the plain girl next to me was the little brother of Narcissus, the number one prostitute in Luoyang City.

The old pervert Zheng Rentai has coveted the little brother for a long time, and it seems that he has not succeeded yet. The wine glass was filled again, and Wu Kang teased Lao Li: "General Zheng and I are accompanied by beauties, please also invite one, so as not to be empty and lonely." Huan Fei Yan is thin, you can choose, and the younger generation will be the east. ”

The local tyrant was full of atmosphere, Lao Li was noncommittal, and turned his head to ignore him. Rentai put down his wine glass, looked at Wu Kang and said: "It's a bad word, all the top brands in the Qinglou are all using poetry to explore flowers." If we come out to prostitutes, we must abide by the rules, and if we force each other with power, we will be ridiculed by the scholars. ”

This refers to Sang scolding Huai, accusing me of using my power to force my little brother to comply. It is estimated that in his eyes, the little brother Suyi is silently resisting. Naiong was wronged, and she didn't oppress people with power, she took the initiative to serve. Smiled decisively without saying a word, and did not bother to speak, waiting for his next words.

Zheng Rentai, the smiling tiger, suddenly said seriously: "Brother Xiaoxian, it's not me who said you, in addition to the battlefield, you must keep your hands on it." You bravely crowned the three armies, and you also charged into battle, and the foolish brother admired it very much. But your poems are really unbearable, especially Daming Lake..."

After the poetry recitation, the program worked very well, raising and bowing his head silently, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he was holding back a smile. Narcissus has a weird expression, and is probably laughing at it, a poem that doesn't make sense. Rentai achieved his goal, and the old face pretended to regret it, and gloated with a smile.

Damn old fox, deliberately shaking me up and making my little brother disgusted with me? But it doesn't matter, I don't think anything wrong with Brother Narcissus. Whether she is disgusted or not, it has nothing to do with me, little tricks are useless. Thinking of this, don't answer the stubble and drink leisurely.

The banquet began to be embarrassed, Lao Li was unwilling to be lonely, and defended with his long hair: "I heard the queen say that it was a joke." changed to the official Wuzhou, and at that time he was not married, which made his wife angry. wrote Daming Lake to amuse Mrs. Chu Guo, and I couldn't count it at all. ”

This is a divine assist, Wu Kang wants to like it, it was originally a bad poem, but it was endowed with tenderness. Looking at Deng Juju again, he had already raised his head, his disdain disappeared, and he felt more affection. As for the narcissus brother, his pretty face has returned to nature, and the corners of his peach blossom eyes are slightly upturned.

Wu Kang put down his wine glass and put on a formulaic smile, as if he didn't care. Zheng Rentai who hit the street, what is our identity? General Sixteen Wei, in my last life, was an army general. Because of the famous prostitute in Qinglou, the general is jealous, you can be shameless, but I am ashamed.

Rentai's smile stiffened, and Lao Li pursued with victory: "The west of the change is to conquer Helu, and the soldiers are chasing at night in the snow, so they have a feeling and write a poem, and ask General Zheng to taste it." The moon black geese flew high, fleeing in the night, wanting to chase away the light horsemen, and the heavy snow was full of bows and knives. ”

It's God again, Lao Li is so cute, I really want to hire a beautiful prostitute and serve him well. Rentai was unbelievable, and his emotions were even greater, and Narcissus commented softly: "The snow is full of bows and knives, the hardships of the battle, and the courage of the soldiers are all immersive." Lang Jun Yunwen Yunwu, slave slave heart is happy and convinced. ”

Scratching his head in embarrassment, in fact, this poem is copied from someone else. Zheng Rentai was happy, raised his glass and drank it all, and his anger disappeared in an instant. Wu Kang is keenly aware, poor old man on the street, small belly chicken intestines, you. As a general, there is a reason why you can't be in charge alone.

Rentai put down the wine glass and said with a pleasant face: "Virtuous brother Yunwen Yunwu, it's a foolish brother who has a lot of heart." But there is another thing, the guards chew on the root of their tongues, saying that you are very afraid of guilt. There are no concubines in the house, and there is no outer room, because they are afraid of their wives. This group of rabbit cubs, don't worry, brother, I'll clean them up. ”

Wu Kang got up to toast, poor old man Bang Street, your fist is magnificent, Nai Weng is grateful. The two clinked glasses and drank, and Rentai continued to bury them: "The yin and yang in the family are always not a good thing, there is no manhood, how to command the three armies?" ”

Brother Tai taught me that Wu Kang said that he was taught and held back the laughter in his throat. His remarks have two meanings. First of all, I am a strict wife, and I have no manhood, and the little brother Narcissus and I will be angry. Secondly, it is also implying that Xiaoqing is a jealous woman, and there is no room for concubines at home.

The two layers are combined, and I warn Brother Narcissus that he is not a good match, so hurry up and die. But unfortunately, this is a divine assist, which will be counterproductive. Naion's fear of guilt, men will look down on it, but women will like it.

In their opinion, a man who is afraid of guilt is a man with a heart. Easy to ask for priceless treasures, rare to have a heart, the voice of the fish mystery, applicable to all women. Looking at Juju and Little Brother again, they are all affectionate, how can they be half disdainful?

Lacking interest for a while, he reached out and scratched his sideburns, and he wanted to check out the flash. It is a miracle that he worships the general. Taizong and Li Jiu, who did not entrust him with important tasks, were very wise and martial. With his intelligence, if he acts according to orders, he is a fierce warrior on the battlefield; If you lead the army alone, you will be rigid and self-serving, and you will exhaust the three armies.

The little brother got up and scratched Wu Kang's sideburns. raised his lips lightly, and said in a loud voice: "Lang Jun's towel is made of ramie, and the slave's uncle is also itchy sideburns." Replace it with a bamboo scarf, the effect is immediate, Lang Jun might as well give it a try. ”

Wu Kang smiled and nodded, but he was complaining in his heart, the two little goblins added fuel to the fire. Rentai's jealousy was even stronger, and Chunfeng mended the knife again: "The general doesn't know, and the change is not fear of guilt, but love and righteousness." At the beginning, the lady bravely broke through a hundred rods and risked death to hand over the book of the people. ”

The banquet was silent again, and the city was once full of wind and rain, and everyone had heard of it. Chunfeng stroked his beard and continued to mend the knife: "All the people are on the table, and the saint is moved to thoroughly investigate the holy robe case." How can you not be moved by the fact that you escaped from death and were saved by your wife? Fang Xuanling is afraid of the inside, the officials are respectful, and the change is afraid of the inside, and the same is true for the guards. ”

Naked slap in the face, Zheng Rentai was very embarrassed, suddenly stood up, raised his wine glass and said: "If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark, and hearsay is not enough evidence." The foolish brother was very ashamed, punished himself with three glasses of wine, and apologized in his heart. ”

Wu Kang responded calmly, and said with convincing words: "Brother Tai, don't blame yourself, you are thinking about me, how can I not know?" You can't punish the wine brother, you see how this is, let's drink three glasses together. I would like to toast you three more times, and thank you for your concern. ”

Give him enough face, Li Chunfeng accompanies him, borrow the slope and get off the donkey. After drinking three glasses of wine, Wu Kang drank three glasses alone, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. After each of them took their seats, the little brother poured more wine, only half a glass. I feel very helpless, the lady's spring heart is budding, and it seems that she has overdone.

Wu Kang felt a slight headache and began to boast about Lao Zheng: "General Zheng's prestige is like thunder in the ears of the younger generation. Serve the three masters, fight in the east and west, and fight in the south and north. The meritorious work of the great Tang Dynasty is really a model for our generation. I was not born when you were in power, so I was ashamed. ”

Rentai laughed heroically, was scratched to the itch, waved his hand and said modestly: "It's all old things, and the virtuous brother Hugh wants to mention it again." The ancients had poems, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the new people replaced the old people. The virtuous brother is only twenty-eight years old, the prince of Jinhua County of the Zhuguo, and the general of Zuo Qianniufu, who is the model of my generation. ”

Business blows each other open, cups are pushed and changed frequently, and the atmosphere begins to be harmonious. He was courteous and attentive, but there was jealousy in his eyes, and he peeked at Wu Kang from time to time. In less than a year, General Zheng Sanpin is still the queen's cousin, and his future is limitless. No wonder the fox Meizi ignored General Zheng.

Rentai continued to praise: "Last year, Xuzhou performed martial arts, the sage gave the color head, and the virtuous brother put down the ring. Defeated twelve warriors in a row, defeated eight generals, and finally succeeded in defending. General Liu Boying, General Pang De'an, and General Xue Rengui are all fierce generals in the army, and they are all defeated generals. ”

Wu Kang hurriedly humbled himself: "It was my colleagues who conceded and didn't make a serious move, otherwise I would have been defeated." General Zheng also knew that the final battle against Xue Rengui was just a draw. The iron halberd in his hand made me suffer a lot, and if it wasn't for the saint to stop, I would definitely be the one who lost. ”

Zheng Rentai sighed and said with disdain: "After the wheel war, the change has weakened, and he takes advantage of the danger of others." You have been fighting for a long time, and everyone is very worried, and the two tigers are fighting, and they are either dead or injured. General Su advised, the sage admonished, stopped the competition, and ended in a draw. ”

This is true, at that time, the real fire was played, and the thousand cow knife wanted to come out of the sheath. Li Jiu rested on the people, the original jade pendant belonged to me, and I took a small jade pendant and rewarded it to Xue Rengui. Zheng Rentai blinked, and said with a sense of concern: "The jade pendant given by the sage has a great background, does the virtuous brother want to know?" ”

Wu Kang was noncommittal, took out the jade pendant from the bag, and handed it over respectfully. Zheng Rentai took it with both hands, tasted it carefully, and was soon amazed: "The auspicious Rui offered by Lingzhou was given to the saint by Taizong, and the saint wore it with him." The two emperors are in charge, and they can save their lives at critical moments. ”

You can pull it down, the only one who can kill me now is Emperor Li Jiu. If he really wants to kill me, don't talk about this rotten jade, it's useless to avoid death. Shaking his head, he had a bad idea and asked Zheng Rentai: "What privileges will the common people have if they have it?" ”

Zheng Rentai said with a smile: "The common people have this jade, which is a talisman, which can protect their lives. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even if it is you and me, when you see the jade bearer, you must be respectful. But you're joking, I don't believe you're going to give away a jade pendant? ”

Wu Kang smiled and said nothing, at this time, he was still squeezing me. The two of us are fellow countrymen, and I don't have words to refute it, it doesn't mean that it's easy to bully. Bad ideas surged into my heart, ready to slap him in the face, but after thinking about it again, forget it.

Put the jade pendant in the calculation bag, I really can't bear it, you are always satisfied. Rentai saved face, laughed very presumptuously, and drank with a wine glass. Chunfeng poured himself a drink, his old face was comfortable, his eyes flashed with approval, and he was right.

The next is very harmonious, recalling the eventful years of the past, Zheng Rentai talked about the past. The more wine was drunk, the more wine was poured, the less wine was poured in the cup. I don't know how long it took, Zheng Rentai was a little floating, got up and said goodbye: "The amount of wine is small, and it is not enough to drink, so let's drink it another day." ”

The two got up to send off, Zheng Rentai waved his hand, and said quite heroically: "The old man left first, the two of them are not happy yet, so they don't have to get up to send each other." To tell you the truth, this Yanbin Building is my property. I did my best as a landlord, and the two of them enjoyed it, and the expenses were recorded in my account. ”

Nayon had already guessed that if it wasn't for your property, you wouldn't come. Wu Kang politely said, today I am the east, and I should pay for it. Rentai resolutely refused to allow it, summoned Lan Niang to advise, and the three of them said goodbye, and the root of the ear was finally quiet.

Juju didn't leave, sat next to Lao Li, and began to pour wine and serve. Lao Li's face was weird, and he smiled evilly: "Your heart is in the east, take care of it." The old man has entered the Tao since he was a child, followed to the head of the Yuan Dao, practiced penance for more than ten years, and was accustomed to bowing to everything. ”

Wu Kang pulled out the stool, raised his head and sat on the left, and the two big heads were served, which felt very wonderful. Li Chunfeng opened the calculation bag and handed over a thread-bound book: "Change the way to go on expeditions, this "Astronomical Chronicles" is the old man's clumsy work. Tell about wind, rain, thunder and snow, and the weather changes in yin and yang, you should be able to use it. ”

It's definitely useful, Wu Kang was ecstatic. Being able to predict the weather is like a tiger with wings for the general. Carefully collect the bag, take Li Jiuyu's pendant, and prepare to exchange gifts. found Lao Li's gaze and looked at the narcissus brother.

Wu Kang's mind was spinning and he understood the deep meaning. Taking the little brother's hand, Yu Pei stuffed it over: "Zheng Rentai said, it's a talisman, give you self-defense." That old guy is always ill-intentioned, and you can't be annoyed. Don't be polite to me, I can never refuse what I give. ”

The little brother was teased again, and his pretty face was about to cry. Li Chunfeng stroked his beard, and the old god was saying: "The old man has calculated that he will give you something, and he will turn his left hand into his right hand, so take it." As for Jung In-tae, he will not give up. Just now, the old man calculated that he had bad luck this year, so don't make friends. ”

The words of the old god stick are slightly more informative, and Wu Kang focuses on the focus: "Sir, don't worry, I will stay away from Zheng Rentai." But then again, I don't have a relationship with him, and I don't have a job to deal with. If you want to trouble me, you can't do it. ”

At this time, his left arm was soft, he raised his arm pitifully, holding his arm and shaking, and he was coquettish: "Lang Jun is so partial, the slave slave doesn't follow, the slave doesn't want a jade pendant, just ask Lang Jun to write a poem." The snow is full of bows and knives, and the killing breath is too heavy, and the slaves want to be in the snow. ”

What kind of mess is it, talking about business, how can I be in the mood to write poems, I will not write poems. Untied the pocket on his waist, stuffed it into her perfunctory and said, "Don't make trouble, I'll talk to my husband about business." Count the contents of the bag, and take whatever you like. ”

After speaking, Li Chunfeng continued: "The imperial court's crusade is imminent, and according to the old man's estimate, there will be a big move. You are both generals, and he is older, so if you are ordered to go on an expedition and want to meet you, it will be easy to say. ”

Wu Kang couldn't help frowning, when he destroyed Baekje, he wanted to destroy Goguryeo. Yesterday, I heard Mei Niang say that Li Jiu wanted to drive the expedition in person, and she tried her best to finally persuade Li Jiu. The scale of this crusade will definitely not be small, but unfortunately I have nothing to do.

Frustration swelled in his heart, and he sighed and said: "Although he is old, he is not able to use much, and the Eastern Crusade is a big matter, and the saint will not send him." He wants to disgust me, let the horse come, I'll take it. Let's not talk about this for now, sir, please say it directly, can the imperial court destroy Goguryeo in this eastward crusade? ”

After a long silence, Li Chunfeng smiled bitterly: "The old man doesn't hide it from you, I learned from the divination last night that I returned in vain this time." Watching the stars at night, this time on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, there will be stars falling. At least two generals died in Liaodong. ”

Wu Kang's face changed suddenly, and he quickly recalled the history, and soon breathed a long sigh of relief. Su Dingfang is fine, and the rest of the love is not too familiar anyway. looked at him again, and smiled helplessly: "If the clay pot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle, this is my criticism, and it is also my fate?" ”

Li Chunfeng smiled lightly: "People have misses, horses have stumbled, the old man is not a fairy, and he will look away." Last time you died, the old man didn't calculate it. Besides, the number of people's lives, as the environment changes, don't worry about the sky. ”

Wu Kang is noncommittal, your name is too big, it's hard to look away. But it doesn't matter, seventy deaths on the battlefield can be regarded as a long life. Both arms were soft at the same time, the little brother pouted, raised very happily, shook the clay figure and said, "The slave wants this, Xie Langjun will reward." ”

The palm-sized clay figure, Wu Kang's artistic photos, are much more handsome than real people. I didn't bother to take care of them, and looked up at Lao Li. This old fox is obviously unsatisfied, and there is still bad water in his stomach.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, Li Chunfeng was very helpless, and said truthfully: "Zheng Rentai has bad luck, you have intersections, and you will be implicated." As for the solution, it is to stay away. Remember the phrase, go with the courtesy, and be at peace with the encounter..."
