Chapter 23: Advice from the Wolf for the Jackal
Someone is slyly laughing, someone is laughing kindly.
may be because his son is not around, Liang Hu especially likes children, whether it is Han Qiang.
When he returned to the Thorn Mansion with Han Yue and the others, he happened to meet Ru Raoke and his party who came to visit. Han Chongqiang is not a large-scale tribal force, but Ru Raoke has always been Leng Zheng's henchman.
Liang Hu didn't know where Leng Zheng saw the other party's ambitions, and he didn't care. What he cared about was the young man of the Ruraoke family.
"Your name is Suzsak, isn't it?"
"Hmm."
"Your father once told me that you grew up in the Huns, is that true?"
"Well, Liangzhou is a bit messy, and my father put me at my grandmother's house."
Liang Huqi said: "Grandma's house? Your mother is a Huns? ”
"Yes. My father was lost in Bingzhou when he was a child. Later......"
Rurak patted the child on the shoulder and motioned for him to stop talking.
Leng Zheng said with a smile on the side: "I can't imagine that the most strategic hero on the grassland was lost in the early years, it's really a strange news." ”
Ru Raoke ignored his cynicism and said: "If Seong loses his horse, he doesn't know if it's a blessing." It was the adventure after I got lost that I became who I am today. The Southern Xiongnu of that year have now been sinicized, and I learned there that the development of nomadic tribes must take a step out of sinicization. ”
Liang Hu was very satisfied with his words, and agreed: "Knowing that your heart is towards the Han family, I am relieved." ”
Leng Zheng gritted his teeth in anger behind him, but he didn't know how to pierce Ruraok's disguise. Is this person disguised? He firmly believes that there is!
Ru Raok admired his facial expression for a moment, and then turned to Liang Hu and said, "Lord Thorn Shi, do you know? The two sons of Ran Ming Gong came, almost at the same time as us. ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Liang Hu was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Where are they now?" ”
"Here's it. Brother Meng Huang! ”
Two personable middle-aged men flashed out from the side, grinning at Liang Hu and bowing their hands, and then the three of them began to greet each other. And Ru Raoke, a Qiang people, took the initiative to avoid their cultural exchanges, and followed Han Yue and Bian Yun to the garden next to them to talk.
"Hao Shuai came this time, he didn't bring his son to play, right?"
Han Yue got straight to the point, and as soon as he sat down, he asked the other party about the purpose of this trip.
Liang Hu did the same thing, and began to ask Zhang Huan's two sons on the way into the hall.
"I heard that Ran Minggong was seriously ill, and I thought that the two Zhang brothers would take care of them at home, how could they have the kung fu to come to me?"
These two "Brother Zhang", one named Zhang Zhi and the other named Zhang Chang, are both obsessed with calligraphy, and they are not the same as their father who strategized on the battlefield, but has the same smell as Liang Hu. Therefore, the two sides did not have too much courtesy, and they asked directly if they had anything to say.
Zhang Chang said with a smile: "The two of us originally came to buy medicine for my father. You also know that although my father has lived in seclusion in Huayin for many years, he has never let go of the court. Now that he knows that the deadline is approaching, he refuses to be easily caught. Half of the thousands of disciples he accepted back then are now spying on the eunuchs' movements, and the other half are collecting information about Xianbei. He said that he must survive those two bastards before he can return with confidence! ”
When Huangfu Song on the side heard this, he couldn't help but think of Suning's words some time ago, so he said: "Ran Ming Gong will definitely get what he wants." ”
Zhang Zhi smiled bitterly: "After all, my father can't get rid of it, and it is inevitable that he will be miserable in his later years." ”
Huangfu Song waved his hand and said disapprenously: "Those who used to be hot-blooded battlefields, even if they can retreat to the mountains and forests, will return to the place where their comrades shed their blood when they dream back at midnight." My uncle was the same back then. ”
Zhang Chang didn't know him, seeing that he was well-dressed and walking with Liang Hu, he only regarded the two as friends, and now listening to his words, it seems that the origin is not simple, so he asked: "I don't know who Uncle Ling is?" ”
Huangfu Song smiled: "It's Huangfu Weiming's house, the one who often spanked my ass when I was a child......"
Liang Hu sweated profusely, Zhang Zhi was speechless, but Zhang Chang laughed: "My father often beats me!" ”
Our dear Lord Thorn Shi really can't stand it, you two are both middle-aged people, how can you be so unruly in front of so many people.
He hurriedly motioned for everyone to move on, but he couldn't stop Huangfu Song and Zhang Chang from continuing to talk.
It was the special sentiment that belonged to their hairpin family, similar to the institutional compound of later generations. Although there are not many intersections in his life, his parents have been famous after all, and there is a bit of brotherhood in the conversation.
This time, even the honest Zhang Zhi couldn't stand it, he took the initiative to provoke the conversation, and continued to explain to Liang Hu: "When we were buying medicinal materials, we overheard an interesting anecdote. I heard that Emperor Meng has a new apprentice who is good at flying white bodies, but is this the case? ”
Liang Hu's eyes suddenly became vigilant, and he asked, "There is indeed such a thing, why do you want to rob the students?" ”
"Not really." Zhang Zhi said with a smile, "After we moved back to Liangzhou from Huayin, we cut off contact with the Central Plains of the Central Plains. The news of Cai Bojiao's invention of flying white body was only heard by us after a long time. It's a pity that the residence is remote and has never had the opportunity to see it. This time, the medicinal materials have been purchased, so I took the opportunity to come over and open my eyes. ”
"Oh, that's right." Liang Hu's eyes returned to peace, and he instead ordered, "Go and invite friends and friends." ”
……
"Go and get some friends." The same sentence also came out of Han Yue's mouth.
Why did he invite Suning over? Because Ru Raoke, an old friend, wants to send his son to study in Suning's school.
When Han Yue asked him about his intentions, he guessed many possibilities. However, the answer I got in the end was to come to Suning to study.
He had just asked the Qiang marshal what he thought, but the answer he received was to study Sinology. This did not surprise him, as Ruraoke's admiration for Han culture had always been the highest among the Qiang tribes.
Moreover, his admiration for himself is also the most active among the heroes of all tribes.
Han Yue's impression of him has also become extremely good because of this. Since he has such a small request, it is naturally necessary.
At this time, Suning had just left the restaurant, and he didn't know that a storm of public opinion about himself was forming. When he returned to the Assassin's Mansion, he happily introduced the two guards he had just accepted to everyone.
As soon as everyone saw the ceremony, they heard that the miscellaneous servants in the palace came to spread the word, saying that Liang Hu wanted him to meet several important guests.
Suning was a little puzzled, he was not an escort traveler, and he had no obligation to break his eyebrows and bend his waist to deal with the powerful. In the end, the system patted him and persuaded him with a smile: "You are lucky today, maybe you can convince some historical celebrities this time." ”
"Okay then." Suning took a moment to refresh, and as soon as he took a step, he turned around and asked, "How far am I from level five now?" ”
The system leaned up to him and whispered, "It's coming, there's still a little more." ”
Suning smiled, with a bright smile like the rising sun, and appeared in front of Zhang Zhi and Zhang Chang.
Liang Hu politely introduced the two sides, and then stopped talking and sat back to watch them observe each other.
As an elder brother, Zhang Zhi obviously has more experience than his younger brother. But the rough and rigid lines of Suning's face were the first time he had seen them, and the impression in his heart couldn't help but deepen a little.
Zhang Chang has a straightforward personality, there are not so many twists and turns, and after seeing Suning, he praised and said: "The young man is so heroic." No wonder he killed the Song family's guards cleanly, and his face didn't change! ”
Zhang Zhi glanced at his younger brother with some dissatisfaction, but Zhang Chang didn't seem to pay attention to his brother's eyes, and continued: "Do you know that one of the purposes of our trip is to be entrusted by the dead old man of the Song family to come to you to sue for peace. ”
"Summation?" Suning furrowed his eyebrows.
"Summation?" Liang Hu stood up dissatisfied, "He asked for peace, why didn't he say it last time?" You want to make peace on his behalf, why didn't you just tell me? I thought you really wanted to see my apprentice's flying white body, but it turned out that you were just tricking me! How unreasonable! ”
Unexpectedly, Liang Hu instantly turned into an old hen and entered the mode of playing with his life, and said with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, and listen to what they have to say." ”
Zhang Chang praised: "You old bird is not as good as this young man." ”
Liang Hu snorted coldly and ignored him.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi hurriedly stopped his younger brother, and then explained to Liang Hu with a smile: "We didn't say it just now because the main lord hasn't come yet." As for the observation of the flying white body, that is indeed the main purpose of this trip. We didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the old Song family, since we have decided to come to you, how about agreeing to this request? Anyway, I'm not tired, and I don't pack tickets. ”
Zhang Chang added stupidly on the side: "That old Song didn't ask for it last time I saw you, because I didn't know how powerful this young man is, since you leveled Liang Xing's thief's den a few days ago, he can't sit still in Longxi County." Just as we were passing by, they asked us to come and ask for peace. This time he knows that it is amazing, not to mention the compensation to Su Xiaoyou, even the benefits to us are beyond my imagination. ”
Suning let out a soft "oh", found a place to sit down, and asked with a smile: "What compensation did the old man give?" What are the benefits? ”
"What you gave was twenty hectares of fertile land in Hanyang County, and it was given to us, it's a little strange to say, my eldest brother said that it wasn't necessarily a benefit, but I didn't understand."
After hearing this, Suning secretly exclaimed that he had gained a lot. For the sake of those 30 acres of land, he has already borrowed money to get by. Unexpectedly, twenty hectares fell from the sky, and this piece of fat should not be in vain.
Liang Hu didn't look at this piece of land in his eyes, but was more interested in the benefits received by the Zhang brothers, and he asked: "Boying (Zhang Zhizi), what is the problem with this benefit you have received?" ”
Zhang Zhi sighed first, and then said, "Do you know the thousands of disciples under my father's command. ”
"Remember, how?"
"Most of these thousand disciples followed us after we moved back to Liangzhou. However, Liangzhou is located in a remote area and lacks products. Most of them are living in poverty. My father used his savings to support them. However, my father did not like to operate in his early years, and the family property was limited, so this was about to bottom. When the Song family learned of this, they offered to fund these disciples. The condition is that they will work for the Song family. ”
Zhang Chang on the side also joked: "He, Old Man Song, also drew a big cake for us, saying that the Zhang family doesn't need to worry about funding them anymore." And their way out is also guaranteed, and the Song family can also be assisted by talents, so killing three birds with one stone, it is a great thing! ”
Suning and Liang Hu glanced at each other, and said in unison: "This old man Song is really calculating. ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhi on the side said: "However, I remember that my father once said that their Song family has ambitions to divide one side. Those disciples, if they come to their account, my Zhang family will be relaxed, but the ambition of his Song family, I'm afraid no one will be able to balance it. ”
Suning secretly praised Zhang Huan's vision, and then said to Zhang Zhi sincerely: "Don't worry about this matter. The Song family can afford to raise thousands of disciples, and I, Su, also have this ability. ”
Zhang Zhi's eyes widened suddenly, and he wondered: "Are you serious?" ”
On the side, Huangfu Song replied for Suning: "Seriously, don't believe us bet!" ”
Seeing Suning smiling and giving a thumbs up, Zhang Zhi knew that he was also saying the same thing, and immediately stood up excitedly: "In this way, our Zhang family is worthy of their followers." ”
Liang Hu poured cold water on the side and said, "Don't you ask me this disciple, what do you want those thousand disciples to do to support themselves?" ”
Suning didn't wait for Zhang Zhi to ask, and said directly: "One is called a school, the second is a restaurant, the third is a bookstore, the fourth is woolen spinning, the fifth is a good seed, the sixth is winemaking, the seventh is colored glass, the eighth is refined salt, the ninth is sugar, the tenth is silver mine, and the eleventh is ......."
"Okay, stop!" When Zhang Zhi heard his sonorous tone, he knew that he had a plan, and he no longer doubted it at the moment, so he got up and grabbed Suning's hand and said, "My father feels that the disciples are following him, and he has always wanted to find a good way out for them, with your plan, my Zhang family is worthy of them." Finally...... I can finally have a clear conscience. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhi actually whimpered and cried. Everyone present obviously didn't expect it, and even Zhang Chang was at a loss for a while, not knowing how to comfort his brother.
Only Liang Hu sighed and said, "I didn't know that the Zhang family was righteous. ”
After the two pillars of incense, Suning walked out of the hall, and the originally scheduled calligraphy exchange was forced to be rescheduled because Zhang Zhi was too emotional.
However, this trip is still rewarding, and the grievances with the Song family can be drawn to a short end.
But just as he was thinking this, a rugged Qiang figure blocked his way.
"In Xia Ruraoke, I have been waiting for Mr. Su here for a long time."
It turned out that after Han Yue sent someone to invite Suning, he waited for a long time and didn't see anyone coming, and finally he could only say goodbye to Han Yue and come out to look for it on his own.
However, Suning didn't know these reasons, he was just curious about Ru Raoke's title: "Why do you call me sir?" ”
"The gentleman is about to open the altar to give a lecture, can't he still be called a gentleman?"
Suning thought about it, so he asked, "Then Your Excellency is here, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
Ru Raoke praised "Mr. is refreshing", and then went straight to the point: "I came here on this trip in the hope that Mr. can join me in rare breeding. I will treat him as a military advisor. The little dog Suzsak, as well as the Han and Qiang children in the tribe, can be cultivated by Mr. ”
Suning didn't expect to be co-opted by the Qiang people. But he didn't have a good impression of him. The other party praised himself for being cheerful, because he didn't know how to write the word "impatient". As for his puppy, this eleven or twelve-year-old boy should belong to a medium-sized dog.
Samoyed? Huskies?
In Suning's opinion, if you are a Qiang person, you should show the heroic spirit of the grassland eagle, and you have to learn the piety of the Central Plains. Look at the child's unruly face, where is the Husky Samoyed, obviously a timberwolf.
Seeing that he didn't react, Ru Raok knew that his conditions couldn't impress the other party, so he smiled and said, "Sir, do you think that Ji County is more comfortable than our tribe?" But I would like to admonish my husband, our tribe is hard, but safe. And the jackal dog you offended the Song family, if you live in the city, sooner or later you will be calculated. ”
Suning grinned: "The Song family has already asked someone to ask me for peace." ”
Ru Raoke said disapprerovingly: "This is a plan to delay the army! ”
There was a thunderous sound, and Suning's excitement just now disappeared in an instant.
"You say, that's a delaying tactic?" He knew that this statement made a lot of sense, but he couldn't help but ask, "How so?" ”
Ruraoke replied to him: "Sir, a wise man, you will surely understand as soon as I say it. Just now I heard the two sons of Ran Minggong say that the old jackals of the Song family asked them to ask you for peace. When I listened to it, I knew there was a conspiracy. The old jackal did this only because Tengri wanted to take his life. I heard that he hasn't breathed yet, and the Song family's rooms are already ready to move - this is a common problem of the wealthy families in the Central Plains. When he really swallows his breath, the Song family will inevitably have a power struggle. At that time, if Mr. made a move, the Song family would die. So the old jackal should first stabilize the gentleman, wait until the little jackal is seated, and then ......"
"And then you're going to clean me up, right?"
"Yes, sir, it's the nature of their jackals!"
"That's right!" Suning nodded, recalling the hatred and gloom in Song Jian's eyes when he knelt down to him, and then said involuntarily, "They can really do this kind of thing." ”
"So sir had better join our tribe, or at least ally with our tribe. As long as the jackal's house is in chaos, their own wolves will make them fall apart. And this matter has nothing to do with Mr., you just need to sit in the county of Ji County and do your Liangzhou engagement. No one will count the fall of the Song family on your head. After all, you have reconciled, and this can be testified to by Lord Assassin Shi and the son of Ran Minggong. ”
- What a sinister stratagem.
Su Ning sighed, his eyes met this simple-faced Qiang man, and he couldn't see that this person's mind was pretending to be a twist and turn that was not lost to the Han strategist.
He pondered whether he should agree to the wolf's suggestion.
