Chapter 319: The Arrogant Son
Looking at Zhang Yanwu sitting on the opposite horse, Lan Ziyi remembered that before leaving Beijing, Zhang Wang really thought that he had mentioned that he also had a grandson with him in the capital, but he didn't expect to meet on such an occasion today.
Lan Ziyi looked at the sergeant he had just sent out and returned the paperwork to Zhang Yanwu and said with a smile:
"Zhang Gongzi was born in Jiangnan, and it is really rare that he did not abandon the bow horse."
Zhang Yanwu responded to Lan Ziyi with a smile:
"I want to abandon the bow horse, but there is no place for me in the capital, and I can't find a way to relieve my boredom if I don't practice the bow horse. Wei Hou can hear from my name, my grandfather didn't plan for me to inherit his mantle and cut people on the battlefield, but when the demon thief crossed the river and the situation was critical, the court still sent me out, what did my grandfather think? β
Lan Ziyi gave Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu a look respectively, Tao Zhulu turned around and led people to count the battlefield after receiving the order, and Tao Zhutu led some soldiers to guard Lan Ziyi, and followed Lan Ziyi to Zhang Yanwu.
After Lan Ziyi approached Zhang Yanwu, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and then Zhang Yanwu drove his horse across the river to inspect the battlefield, and after walking away, Lan Ziyi said:
"Zhang Gongzi is the real general, when I was in Luoyan Pass, my father forced me to practice martial arts every day, but I didn't practice, I only thought about the fame of the imperial examination, but now I am being driven into battle, but I can't even use a knife, which is really insulting to the reputation of the family."
Zhang Yanwu glanced at Lan Ziyi and said:
"Wei Hou is a smart person, he knows that studying and testing for fame is the right way out, and when Qiu Ba kills people, he will only be looked down upon.
My grandfather forced me to study every day to test my fame, but all I wanted was to fly eagles and lackeys and be a ranger athlete, and I felt that my grandfather was a captain, so I felt that I was also a horn, but later I realized that there was no need for martial artists in the capital, only those who could read were people, and the others were just two-legged animals. β
Lan Ziyi glanced at Zhang Yanwu next to him with his glasses sideways, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of complaints, it seemed that he was quite aggrieved in the capital. Lan Ziyi also knew that the status of the martial arts in the court had always been half a short civil official, but now that he heard Zhang Yanwu say this, Lan Ziyi could understand how low the status of the military generals was in the capital, and also understood why his father Lan Qianzhen was panicked after the victory of the Northern Expedition.
Lan Ziyi didn't intend to interrupt Zhang Yanwu's conversation, he wanted to learn more from Zhang Yanwu, so he said:
"Zhang Gongzi, don't be so depressed, just now Zhang Gongzi took a hundred or so good people to dare to block the way of the demon thief, with such courage and courage, he will definitely make great achievements in the future."
Zhang Yanwu snorted coldly through his nose and said:
"Less, I've joined the army in a big battalion, it's my duty to lead the troops to fight, if I don't block the road just now, the demon thief Tao will not be able to remake it when he enters the town, you bring so many people, you will definitely not watch me die, I will not lose anything if I rush up for a while."
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"Zhang Gongzi believes in me so much, aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"
Zhang Yanwu sighed when he heard this and said:
"If you sell me, it means that I still have the value of being sold, and if I don't even bother to sell it, it will be painful. I'm in the capital, it's a gangster day, I don't have any hope, I don't have any status, no one cares about me, I'm just like the children of those nouveau riche families in the capital, rich, but that's all. β
Lan Ziyi turned his head to look at Zhang Yanwu and asked:
"Zhang Gongzi is a person who has joined the poetry club."
Zhang Yanwu sneered:
"So what? Joined me and I'm a literati and ink artist? What are you kidding, I kowtowed and begged to enter the door, and after entering, I was still a hill. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Yanwu suddenly turned around and looked at Lan Ziyi, the muscles on his face opened the corners of his mouth irregularly, put on a strange smile of nonsense after being drunk, and said:
"Qingliu has its own wind and bones, and those of us with bad backgrounds can't get into it."
Lan Ziyi looked down at the fingers that Zhang Yanwu grabbed into his arm, and then looked up at Zhang Yanwu, although his face was dull, his eyes were surprisingly clear, and those eyes were telling Lan Ziyi the story, which was the powerlessness and discouragement of depression after being excluded and suppressed, and the sickly brilliance of broken spirit after learning that his future was hopeless.
Lan Ziyi listened to Zhang Yanwu's story and looked at Zhang Yanwu's ugly state of being drunk without alcohol, as if he saw his future self. Lan Ziyi already knew that Qi Rongxun was instructed by Zhang Mingyue behind him, and now Zhang Yanwu told him that he was not allowed to be in the Poetry Society, Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu were both born in martial arts, and Zhang Yanwu, who grew up in the capital, was not accepted by that group of young magnates.
Lan Ziyi secretly kept this matter in his heart, and opened his mouth to comfort Zhang Yanwudao:
"Brother Zhang is too pessimistic to see the situation, I am born to be useful, with Brother Zhang's wise and decisive means when he attacked just now, as long as he works hard, he will definitely be able to make a difference in the future."
Zhang Yanwu sneered when he heard this:
"I'm not pessimistic, I'm seeing things through. What about Ming Min and decisive? This ability is used in war, and it can be used in the court?
Wei Hou, listen to me, you and I are born to be dogs for those scholars in the court, there is no other way out, don't look at your Lao Tzu is now being crowned as the acting duke, as long as the adults in the court are not happy that day, he will still be dragged out of Luoyan Pass and killed. β
Saying that, Zhang Yanwu winked at Lan Ziyi and raised his eyebrows by the way.
Tao Zhutu, who was following Lan Ziyi, was so angry that he pulled out the knife when he heard Zhang Yanwu's provocative words, but Lan Ziyi didn't react when he heard this kind of words, he stretched out his hand and pressed Tao Zhutu's saber, and said to Zhang Yanwu with a smile:
"My father has always wanted to approve the conquest into Beijing after his victory in the Northern Expedition, and the position of acting duke has never been extravagant. However, the emperor has degraded this honor to my family, and my Lan family will naturally repay the emperor with death and never disappoint the emperor's favor. β
Zhang Yanwu looked at the peach chasing rabbit who was held down by Lan Ziyi, smiled and said:
"I sacrificed my life for a while just now, and I'm tired, since Wei Hou is leading the Xiji Tiger Camp, go around and call me when you leave."
After saying that, Zhang Yanwu urged the horse to leave, and Lan Ziyi hurriedly assigned a few sergeants around him to follow Zhang Yanwu's left guard.
As soon as Zhang Yanwu left, he asked Lan Ziyi:
"What did the young master stop me from just now? This kid has already scolded the general, if you don't clean him up, will he keep him for the New Year? β
Lan Ziyi urged the horse slowly, looked at the demon thieves around him who had been cleaned up, and said slowly:
"My father's achievements are high, and there are so many people in the court who look red-eyed, can you still shut everyone's mouths? Besides, Zhang Gongzi is also a famous general, and his status is high, although he scolds my father for trespassing, but it is not impossible, I am now in Captain Zhang's army again, give him a face. β
After snorting coldly, Tao Zhutu slammed the half-cut knife back into the scabbard, and said angrily:
"Young Master, after you came to the capital, your courage is really getting smaller and smaller."
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi raised his head, patted Tao Zhutu on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Zhang Wang won't kill me, just like I can't give his grandson a face for no reason.
Third brother, don't you understand? I entered Beijing to be the wings of King De, now King De doesn't like me, and the Chinese courtiers of the court can't accept me according to Zhang Yanwu's words, Qi Rongxun is still Zhang Mingyue's person, I'm weak alone, even if I can't let Zhang Yanwu stand on my side, I can't force him to the other end, right? β
Tao Zhutu was speechless by Lan Ziyi's words, and replied with a smile:
"Young master, you are so clever, anyway, I can't mean you."
Then Peach Rabbit added a sentence and asked:
"The young master just said that he was weak, so isn't there still a fish father-in-law cover? Why do you say it so badly? β
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi secretly observed his surroundings, and after confirming that no one was watching, he put his arm around Tao Zhutu's shoulder, and said in a low voice:
"Third brother, I do have to rely on Father-in-law Yu, but Father-in-law Yu also has to rely on me and my father, I am his junior, not his subordinates, it is not a good reputation to be a dog after the eunuch, don't think about falling into Father-in-law Yu's arms, it's not good."
Hearing this, Tao Zhutu's body couldn't help but snort, and he looked at Lan Ziyi who was speechless for a long time.
Lan Ziyi patted Tao Zhutu's shoulder and stopped the topic with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Ziyi saw Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu rushing over here with people. The two came to Lan Ziyi and hugged their fists as a salute, and then Tao Zhuhu said:
"Young master, it's clear, more than a dozen brothers in our army have scratched their skin in this battle."
Lan Ziyi asked:
"How many prisoners?"
Tao Zhuhu replied:
"There are more than eight thousand left."
Tao Zhulu asked:
"What are these young masters going to do?"
Lan Ziyi touched his chin and asked:
"What do the three brothers think?"
Hearing this, Peach Chase Rabbit looked at his two elder brothers, and Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Deer exchanged their eyes and said:
"This place is so close to the capital, Erlang and I feel that it is simply the same as last night, and send someone to escort these demon thieves back to the capital, just to tell the capital about the catastrophe on the front line, and also to boost morale."
Lan Ziyi nodded and said:
"Just do what the two brothers think.
Second brother, order 500 people to tie up this group of demon thieves one by one and escort them back to Beijing. Big brother, you will continue to patrol along the river embankment to see if there are any thieves who continue to land on the shore, and the rest of the other brothers will arrange to go into the town to rest. β
Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu hugged their fists and took the order, and went down separately. It's just that after a while, the peach will be all the people, and the long captives will walk along the avenue step by step under the escort of the soldiers, and the thieves who have just been unable to plan to annihilate the official army have completely lost their previous arrogance after the first vicious battle in their lives, and under the escort of the official army, these demon thieves endured the pain on their bodies and walked towards the capital in despair.
Tao Zhutu escorted Lan Ziyi into the town with the team, and he asked Lan Ziyi:
"Didn't the young master ask why the thieves fought like this? Why did you just release people like this? β
ε °εδΉ says:
"They've had enough, so why insult them again? It's all the people of the court, enough is enough. β
