Chapter 223: Huang Shilang

"Drop?" Cheng Yanjin's tone was a little incredible, and then he said angrily: "More than 3,000 soldiers died on the battlefield!" Tell me afterwards that one will make it work! Put it down? ”

Su Bai didn't understand the relationship a little, but he was definitely not an ordinary person who could make Cheng bite Jin Qi like this. Qin Qiong sighed and said, "Zhijie, you know what he looked like before, do you know what he has been like in the past few years?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin snorted coldly, and Qin Qiong sighed and said: "He is now skinny and skinny, drinks every day, lives by moving goods for others, and resists sacks", the corners of Cheng Biting Jin's eyes twitched fiercely, and the angry expression on his face was a little untenable.

Su Bai now understands a little, this person named Huang Shilang must have a good relationship with Cheng Yanjin. Looking at Su Bai's puzzled expression, Qin Qiong sighed and said, "You are very curious, who is Huang Shilang", Su Bai nodded and said, "Little nephew, I am really curious"

Qin Qiong said with a look of memory on his face: "Huang Shilang is your Uncle Cheng's hair, and the two grew up together. He and your Uncle Cheng, one has a good brain, the other is strong, and the two are the best. Later, your Uncle Cheng joined Wagangzhai, and Huang Shilang joined the imperial court, and it wasn't until after the defeat that the two met."

Hearing Qin Qiong say these words, Cheng Yanjin's face couldn't help but have a look of memory. The two were like brothers and sisters back then, but who would have thought that he would do such a brainless thing.

Qin Qiong didn't know if she thought of going with Cheng Yanjin, and she also sighed and said: "Huang Shilang is young and frivolous, everyone wants to prove their ability when they are young, after Huang Shilang becomes a general in the court, he can't wait to fight a tough battle!" to prove his ability, that battle, he was directly defeated by Wagangzhai and returned, when he saw your Uncle Cheng, he chose to return to Wagangzhai"

Qin Qiong continued: "Huang Shilang is very capable, plus he is relatively heroic in life, and he has some friends, even in Wagangzhai, he can get along with the wind and water. Your Uncle Cheng is loyal and honest, and Zhai Rang is very fond of him, and both of them mix well. But when Huang Shilang saw that the little brother who followed his ass at the beginning could be on an equal footing with him, he was inevitably a little unconvinced, and he was anxious to prove that he was stronger than Cheng Biting Jin, so he made a wrong decision! ”

Su Bai also guessed at this time, this decision should be the matter of the 5,000 disciples and soldiers, and only more than 1,000 people came back.

Sure enough, I heard Qin Qiong say slowly: "He took the warrant of Li Tao {Xu Maogong} and went to the military camp to receive 5,000 soldiers!" A large part of these 5,000 people are fellow villagers of your Uncle Cheng and Huang Shilang. They went to the battlefield together and clashed head-on with 5,000 cavalrymen! ”

Qin Qiong couldn't bear to say with a smile on his face: "If it weren't for your Uncle Cheng's reinforcements going quickly, presumably, there wouldn't be even a thousand people left!" Your Uncle Cheng was almost crazy at that time, because many of the people who died in the war were brothers who grew up with them since childhood!

Since that day, your Uncle Cheng has hardly spoken to him again, until he sent his dead brother back to his hometown, and your Uncle Cheng and Huang Shilang escorted their brother's ashes back, and your Uncle Cheng asked Huang Shilang: "Do you regret it?" ”

The answer given by Huang Shilang is that it will be a success! Angry, Uncle Cheng directly broke one of his ribs, and Huang Shilang didn't fight back! Later, he joined the Tang Dynasty and won the world in the Tang Dynasty, Taizu rewarded the ministers, Huang Shilang refused the official title and title, but asked for a large amount of gold and silver, all of which were given to the relatives of the brothers who died in the previous battle, and finally lived in seclusion in Chang'an, and finally slowly faded out of everyone's field of vision"

Cheng Yanjin didn't say a word, pursed his mouth tightly, and his body even trembled slightly. You can see that he is holding back his temper!

Su Bai thought for a while and said, "According to what you said, that Mr. Huang should have been disheartened, even if I begged him, he wouldn't go out of the mountain." Qin Qiong didn't speak, just stared at Cheng Yanjin, Su Bai understood, this was planning to let Cheng Yanjin be a lobbyist.

Cheng Yanjin saw Qin Qiong staring at him like this, and he also understood Qin Qiong's thoughts, so he refused very decisively: "Let me beg him!" Dream on! After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the study directly.

Qin Qiong sighed lightly and said, "Since your Uncle Cheng is unwilling to go out, I can only try", Su Bai said softly: "Uncle Qin, that Mr. Huang, is he really so capable?" In fact, Su Bai didn't believe that this was a fierce general, otherwise he would not be unknown in the history books. Besides, how smart can you be if you can do 5,000 infantry against cavalry?

Qin Qiong saw Su Bai's disapproval, and didn't say anything, just said softly: "The five thousand cavalry who fought against him back then had already killed more than a thousand cavalry when your Uncle Cheng went to the rescue!" ”

Su Bai felt as if a heavenly thunder had struck his heavenly spirit cover! 5,000 infantry against cavalry, can do four for one! What an exaggerated feat! Su Bai now understands a little why Huang Shilang wanted 5,000 infantry to fight against the cavalry, and he also understands why he said that the defeat was because the blade was unfavorable! It seems that I can read that sentence, and my bones will dry up.

Qin Qiong patted Su Bai on the shoulder and said, "Go to my house early tomorrow morning, I'll take you to find Huang Shilang", Su Bai nodded yes, this is a great talent who can exchange four steps for a ride, and the reason why Cheng Yanjin blames him is because he died and he is a brother who grew up together.

If you think about it from another perspective, it is difficult for Su Bai to forgive this kind of person. After Qin Qiong patted Su Bai on the shoulder, he left Cheng Mansion, and Su Bai found Fu Bo, asked where Cheng Yanjin was now, and asked Fu Bo to get two jars of good wine and come over with the whole two appetizers.

Fu Bo nodded yes, Su Bai was like half a master in Cheng Mansion, and when Cheng Biting Jin left just now, his face was pale, and Fu Bo also hoped that someone would comfort the master. Cheng Yanjin sat alone in the back garden, the weather in March was still a little cold, Cheng Yanjin sat on the cold stone bench alone, with his back to Su Bai, unable to see his expression.

Su Bai didn't see it at all, he walked straight to the opposite side of Cheng Yanjin, and sat down on the stone bench, Cheng Yanjin's expression was a little distracted, and he didn't notice Su Bai's arrival. Su Bai stared at his face, which was already a little vicissitudes. remembered what Qin Qiong had said before, perhaps, Cheng Yanjin was the saddest person.

Su Bai didn't bother Cheng Yanjin, so he sat quietly like this, and waited until Fu Bo personally came to deliver the wine and food, and Cheng Yanjin woke up. looked at Su Bai sitting opposite him, the wine and food on the stone table. Cheng Yanjin subconsciously touched his eyes, probably afraid that he was crying just now.

After finding out that there were no tears, Cheng Yanjin quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You kid, come over and don't say a word." Su Bai smiled and patted the mud seal of the wine jar in front of him, handed it to Cheng Yanjin, and opened another jar for himself, and he didn't plan to use the wine bowl, so he just held the jar and drank it.

Su Bai said with a smile: "Uncle has done his best for the little nephew's affairs, but the little nephew has not yet said it, the little nephew is stupid, and he can't say anything touching and heartfelt!" It's all in the wine! After speaking, Su Bai took a big gulp.

Cheng Bingjin laughed twice, picked up the wine jar like Su Bai, and poured it into his mouth.

The alcohol content is a bit high, almost 50 degrees, and it is easy to get drunk like this.

The two drank half of the jar in one go, Cheng Bingjin laughed, and said three times in a row! Su Bai is not good at drinking urgent wine, so he picked up the chopsticks and put two chopsticks into his mouth. Cheng Biting Jin's face was a little red, it seems that the speed of this wine is very fast.

After Cheng Yanjin took two sips again, he put the wine jar on the table, stared at Su Bai with red eyes and said, "You kid is here to comfort the old man." Su Bai smiled and didn't speak, in front of a human spirit like Cheng Yanjin, any cover-up was useless.

Cheng Yanjin laughed twice, and said in a sad voice: "Are you very confused, why do I hate Huang Shilang so much?" Su Bai also took a big sip again, put the wine jar on the table and said: "It's doubtful, but the little nephew can still distinguish the inside and the outside, since the uncle doesn't like him, the little nephew doesn't recruit him, and there are no talented people in the world!" {The following is all apocryphal, and has no reference value for a dime}

Cheng Yanjin didn't answer Su Bai's words, looked at the wine in the jar, and said with a memory expression on his face: "When I was young, my family was very poor, how poor is it, so to speak, rats can't turn a grain of rice in my house." At that time, I was still very well fed, and my mother had to work three jobs a day to support me. At that time, Huang Shilang lived next door to my house, and his parents often helped my family."

"Later, the two of us grew up, Huang Shilang had enough brains, and I was physically strong, and I gradually gained some fame in our county. People call the two of us Pure Street Yama! said that as soon as the two of us went to the street, there would be no one on the street, and we would all run out."

Speaking of this mileage, he smiled a little, a little nostalgic for the time of the year, and said softly: "Later, we provoked the son-in-law of the county order, who is the county order, and it is not easy to clean up the little people like us, and we are forced to be helpless, so our two families can only move and go to relatives." Later, I met your Uncle Niu and became a bandit, and it wasn't until I joined Wagangzhai that I reunited with him. ”

"When I saw him the next time, he was already a prisoner of Wagangzhai, wearing the armor of a Sui Dynasty general, his face and body were covered with blood, if I hadn't grown up together, I would definitely not have recognized him."

Cheng Yanjin smiled bitterly: "If I didn't recognize him at the beginning, maybe there would be no such things, he was also very excited when he saw me, and I ordered the soldiers to loosen his ties at that time, personally led him to meet the leader, and took him to join Wagangzhai"

"Then, just like your Uncle Qin told you before, his self-esteem is too strong! Take 5,000 soldiers and go to a decisive battle with 5,000 cavalry. Most of those 5,000 people came for me! How do you want me to tell their parents, wives and children! Say it's my brother for his own pride! Let their sons, fathers, and husbands die? ”

Cheng Biting Jin's tiger eyes turned red, even if such a long time has passed since this incident, he can still recall that he asked Huang Shilang in the carriage: "How to explain?" Huang Shilang didn't raise his head and said: "One will make ten thousand bones dry!" ”

Later, the two defected to Datang from Wagang, and passed all the way, and finally Datang got the world, and when he rewarded the ministers, Huang Shilang chose to quit, but asked for a large amount of gold and silver! At that time, Cheng Yanjin didn't know that Huang Shilang regarded all the gold and silver as a pension.

It wasn't until one time, when he went to visit his old subordinates, that he heard about it, and he still didn't choose to forgive Huang Shilang in the process. He felt that the lives of so many brothers could not be compensated with gold and silver.

It wasn't until today that he heard the name Huang Shilang again, but he could guess that it was Huang Shilang by saying two words from Qin Qiong, obviously he hadn't put it down at all these years. Especially when he heard about Huang Shilang's current living situation, his whole body was trembling.

Su Bai listened quietly to Cheng Yanjin telling him the story of Huang Shilang, and did not bother or evaluate. The affairs of the elders are not something that the juniors can evaluate, and they are not the parties themselves, and they are not qualified to speak.

Cheng Yanjin grabbed the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, letting the spilled wine flow down his neck, a jar of wine was full of three catties, and he drank it all into his stomach, and the wine jar was thrown to the ground on the side, and after a crisp sound, there was no movement.

Cheng Yanjin rubbed his slightly swollen temples, casually untied a token from his waist and threw it to Su Baidao: "Take my token tomorrow", turned around and left without looking back, Fu Bo hurriedly waited behind him.

Su Bai smiled, picked up the token, and walked towards the outside of Cheng's mansion leisurely, this wine can't be drunk more, it's a little top.

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Bai didn't bring a single guard, so he asked Wang Lang to drive the carriage to the Qin Mansion, where he had breakfast with the Qin family father and son, Qin Qiong and Su Bai went to the place where Huang Shilang worked.

Qin Qiong's eyes inadvertently swept over Su Bai's waist, and after seeing the token clearly, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "He gave it to you?" Su Bai nodded and said, "Uncle Cheng gave it to me last night." Qin Qiong smiled: "I knew that Zhijie couldn't let him go, he heard me talk about Shiro's current situation yesterday, and he couldn't bear it, and he wanted you to help Shiro."

Su Bai Zhengse said: "Actually, Uncle Cheng wants Mr. Huang to help me!" Qin Qiong laughed and said, "You kid will find him to go down the stairs."

The carriage finally stopped at Dongshi, as one of the two largest markets in Chang'an, the bustle of things can not be clearly expressed in words, all kinds of goods, merchants and slaves from all over the world can be seen here.

Qin Qiong didn't even look at this, took Su Bai out of the carriage, and walked straight to an alley, and outside he could see a few men in ragged clothes at the mouth of the alley, they were the laborers of this market, Huang Shilang, was among them.
