Chapter 14:-for-tat

Lord Xie Baoqing didn't know what he was going to face yet. As the construction site got closer, he finally saw the outline of the new city.

The city walls, located near the south gate, probably because of their arrival, have stopped construction.

A few people dressed in colorful clothes are guiding a group of disaster victims who have come to beg for a living and find work to hide in the city. But the walls in other directions were still crowded, and the people who built the city were still busy.

The scale of this place is not small, where it seems to have only been built for seven or eight days.

There are also quite a few people, at least more than 2,000 people are involved in the construction. From time to time, you can also see several strange-looking cars, running back and forth.

It's strange, why aren't there cows and horses in front of this cart?

Inspector Liu Yuan saw that the county magistrate was coming, and immediately came up to salute.

As soon as Xie Baoqing asked, he understood that it was not an idler to build such a big city on the ground of the capital, and it was no wonder that Liu Yuan was frightened.

The team stopped when they reached the gate of the city, which had already shown its shape, and ordered the soldiers to go over and call for people.

The two Ming soldiers ran to the sentry and said, "Hey, quickly call the person in charge of you to come out, and say that Master Xie has arrived in Wanping County!"

Two men in floral clothes ignored him, and one of them spoke into a black box.

One of the soldiers is not happy, his NN and the county commanders are here, are you still pretending to be an uncle here? Ignore us and sneer at a black box.

"Hey, you're ......!" I was just about to scold. Suddenly, a man's voice came from the black box: "Got it! Tell them that the second young master will be there soon. ”

The two soldiers were startled, this, what is the situation?

"Our platoon commander said, the second young master will come soon!" One of the people in the flower dress replied to them.

Well, they heard it too! Go back and report it.

Xie Baoqing listened to Liu Ze's report, and also wondered, could it be the second young master of the Zhang family?

So he got off the sedan chair and happened to see Zhang Ziyun also get off the sedan chair and come from behind.

So he greeted him and asked, "Just now, the soldiers went to spread the word, and the other party said that they would wait for their second young master to come out." Could it be the second young master of the Guogong Mansion? ”

"It's definitely not my second brother!" Zhang Ziyun didn't want to think about it, so he said to Xie Baoqing.

How can it be? His second brother is a well-known prodigal who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day. Looking at the scale of this city, how can it be the second brother of his own family who can be in charge here?

As they were talking, two groups of men came out of the city.

Judging from their clothes, they were exactly the same as the two people at the door. The men carried spears and marched in a neat procession, marching in unison and in unison. Although there are only more than 100 people, they walk with extraordinary momentum.

This made those Ming soldiers who lacked training, had yellow muscles, and shabby clothes looked amazing.

Xie Baoqing couldn't help but praise: "Such a family, you can know that its owner must be extraordinary." ”

Zhang Ziyun is also beautiful, and there is no harm if there is no comparison. Think about the officers and soldiers of the imperial court that you often see, and then look at these family members, and the comparison of who is superior and who is inferior will come out.

With the "Stand! Take a break, stand upright! The sound of the command. All the family members neatly followed the order, clicking and making movements.

Finished, out of the middle of the line came a handsome and confident young man in a white robe with a smile on his face, followed by two guards.

Xie Baoqing looked at the momentum of others, and estimated that this young man's status was not low, and he should be the son Liu Yuan said.

So I didn't dare to slack off, and took the initiative to meet it. Zhang Ziyun also followed, she wanted to see who this second young master was, who could train the family to such a degree.

As soon as Zhang Shirong saw that the second lady had passed, he immediately followed with a few family members.

"The county ordered the adults to arrive, and the little students were disappointed. Disrespectful, disrespectful! Wang Yue learned the etiquette in costume dramas and hugged fists.

Xie Baoqing also returned the courtesy: "You're welcome, you haven't asked this brother for his name, where did he come from?" ”

Wang Yue replied with a smile: "Xiaosheng's surname is Wang, and the word is one Yue, and the word is Sihua." A native of Lao County, Shanxi. ”

Xie Baoqing was puzzled, and thought it was from a dignitary family in the capital, but this origin doesn't sound like it.

So he asked, "And how did you get here?" ”

Wang Yue was still smiling: "Because of the disaster in Xiaosheng's hometown, I had to flee here with my fellow villagers." ”

Xie Baoqing heard him call himself a Xiaosheng, and he had words, and asked, "Is that a meritorious name?" ”

"Ah, I won the Taiyuan Mansion Xiucai last year." Wang Yue replied truthfully.

As soon as the general manager Liu Ze listened, he was a disaster victim when he co-authored, isn't he just a talent in distress? What a! I'm going to have to behave well in front of Master Xie.

immediately shouted: "Well, you are a showman, you can see the official without kneeling." But what are you doing here in a daze? Why don't you come over to greet Lord Xie? ”

Hearing him shout like this, there was a hint of loosening and noise in the family team.

Wang Yue raised his head and said loudly: "Lizheng!" ”

The housekeepers reflexively stood up straight with a click.

"You, you dare to defy Shangguan!" Liu Ze was made very faceless by Wang Yue, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and pointing at Wang Yue with the other.

Seeing him pointing at Wang Yue with his hand, the guards behind him immediately took off their rifles from their shoulders and pointed their bayonets at Liu Ze.

These two guards, but Wang Zhuo is teaching the most loyal soldiers carefully selected by the platoon, who are specifically responsible for protecting his younger brother.

Liu Ze was jumped by Xueliang's bayonet tiger, and immediately pulled out his waist knife and said, "It's the opposite, Lord Xie, are they going to rebel?" ”

Xie Baoqing didn't expect that the more Wang said that he would turn his face.

I was thinking that it was unsafe for me to be so close, so what was it like to run? Or first order Liu to bring people up to get people.

After all, these guys are not easy to mess with.

"Ahem!" Wang Yue coughed vigorously, pretending to be angry: "Put the gun down, didn't you see that I was talking to Master Xie?" ”

Then he smiled and said to Xie Baoqing: "Lord Xie, they are all coarse people and ignorant!" Don't worry about them. I have a little wine in the humble house, I hope Lord Xie can enjoy it! ”

Xie Baoqing looked at his harmless appearance, it was hard to imagine that he was so serious and cold just now.

"Mr. Liu, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of Master Xie." Zhang Ziyun couldn't see the most of these officers and soldiers who were afraid of the enemy like tigers in wartime and oppressed good people in peacetime.

Wang Yue exclaimed: "It's still the second lady who can speak up!" ”

"Oh? Do you know me? Zhang Ziyun had long forgotten Wang Yue, who was in tattered clothes, unkempt, and bruised all over his body.

"The second lady is a bodhisattva, running around every day on the front line of relief for the victims, who can not know!" Wang Yue said with a smile.

He didn't want to meet the officers and soldiers, and when he found out that the second lady was also among them, he had to control it and not let the situation worsen.

This bullet has no eyes, and if he hurts this kind-hearted woman, he will feel extremely guilty.

Hearing what the second lady said, Xie Baoqing also felt that Liu Ze had nothing to do. Lord Ben is talking here, where can you be a general interjector?

"Mr. Liu, you step back first." Xie Baoqing said with a straight face.

"Yes, sir!" Liu Shize clenched his fists and stepped back in a gloomy manner.

Wang Yue looked at it and saw the opportunity and said, "Master Xie, let's go in and talk!" It's too lazy to stand here! ”

"Well, I have a lot to ask you." Xie Baoqing felt that Wang Yue was a scholar, not to mention that this was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and he believed that Wang Yue would not mess around. There are more than 100,000 troops around here.

So Xie Baoqing got into a sedan chair and took a dozen or so officials to the city first.

Leaving Liu Ze and his soldiers outside the city, with the behavior of his soldiers and the fiery temper of Wang Yue's family, Xie Baoqing was really afraid of causing trouble.

Wang Yue looked at Zhang Ziyun and invited with a smile: "Second Miss, please come in too!" ”

Zhang Shirong snorted: "This is originally our Zhang family's land, of course we have to go in." ”

Zhang Ziyun frowned and said, "Hugh has to say more, go in and take a look." ”

Wang Yue suddenly realized that it was the main master.

As soon as these people entered the city, it was as if they had entered another world.

People's clothing, clothing, vehicles, and houses are unprecedented.

Zhang Ziyun lifted the sedan curtain and looked at all this blankly.

The maid Hexiang was startled and kept exclaiming: "Miss, look there!" The car was so big, it didn't even need to be horse-drawn but it was running fast. ”

"Look over there, the canister in the back of that car is still spinning!"

When he arrived at the location, Xie Baoqing got off the sedan chair and looked around, and there were more questions in his heart.

"Lord Xie, please come in, the humble house is shabby, please bear with me if there is any neglect!" Wang Yue greeted warmly.

The area of the prefabricated house is indeed very simple compared with the houses of the ancients, but the furnishings in this house are unheard of and unseen.

This is one of the plans, specially sorted out the room. Floor tiles, leather sofas, huge coffee tables, refrigerators, and wine coolers behind transparent food counters.

Xie Baoqing was a little in a daze as soon as he came in, and he didn't know why.

Wang Yue pointed to the sofa and said, "Lord Xie, please take a seat." Second Miss, please be seated as well. ”

Sinking into the sofa, Xie Baoqing also turned it upside down, and said with a smile: "This thing is good." Hehe! ”

After Zhang Ziyun sat down, he also liked the sofa, especially the backrest pillow, which couldn't stop looking at it.

"If you two like it, I can send you two sets when you leave." Wang Yue said as he took a bottle of red wine and a few glasses.

Xie Baoqing didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on the wine glass and bottle in Wang Yue's hand.

"Really? That's great, how much does it cost? Zhang Ziyun said with a smile on his face.

"Second Miss, talking about money hurts a lot of feelings, and saying that giving you is sending you is sending you." Wang Yue put the cup and red wine on the coffee table, making a clanging crunch.

Zhang Ziyun said a little embarrassed: "Then thank you, Brother Sihua." ”
