Chapter 231: Brothers of One Heart
Just after the second day, Zhou Yuntai took Qi Jiawu, together with fifty people from the personal guards, and set off under the command of the captain Yin's eldest brother.
Liu Yangping drank too much wine last night and slept until the end of the morning before getting up to wash. After a lot of tossing, it was finally cleaned up at the end of the day.
After the group and Wang Rui, Qin Liangyu and others said goodbye, they left Gu'an and returned to Beijing to resume their lives.
Wang Rui's appearance this morning was indeed very unexpected by Liu Yangping. But when he thought about it, he was relieved: Wufu, in front of a noble civil official and a member of the military department, he has to coil the dragon, and he has to lie down if he is a tiger.
Wang Rui seemed to have completely forgotten last night's unhappiness, he was full of smiles, and said goodbye to Liu Yangping and the three of them very politely.
And that's not all. Before leaving, Wang Rui gave several hundred taels of silver to the officials of the three military departments. Even the five soldiers who guarded each received two taels of silver.
Because countless cattle and sheep were captured in the Gu'an Defense Battle, Wang Rui instructed the logistics company to prepare a piece of beef and mutton weighing dozens of catties for Liu Yangping and his entourage, as well as dozens of catties of miscellaneous grains.
These guys originally came out to reap benefits, and of course they did not refuse the gifts of the Laizhou Army and the White Pole Soldiers.
Therefore, everyone's horse was full of bulging baggage on his back, filled with silver taels, beef and mutton, grain, and other items he received after coming to Gu'an.
"Hey! Finally sent away these difficult civil officials! Qin Liangyu looked at the back of Liu Yangping and his party walking away and sighed.
"Hmmm! Just walk them on the road! Wang Rui also smiled.
Yes! The Laizhou Army will definitely "be a good person to the end and send Buddha to the west".
No, Brother Yin and Zhou Yuntai were waiting on the way with more than fifty elite guards who were fully armed, and they were going to send them to Huangquan Road.
"Humph!" Zhang Fengyi on the side glanced at Wang Rui, and her heart was full of resentment. If Qin Liangyu wasn't still there, she would really have scolded Wang Rui directly.
Your fiancΓ©e is being molested, you can't punish the other party, at least you don't have to be close to others, nodding your head, right?
"Mother, let's go back first. The daughter-in-law still has to go to see Xiaojing's sister. This girl was angry with these dogs last night. β
Zhang Fengyi urged Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and others to go back, and at the same time counted Wang Rui, the "shrinking turtle" who was afraid to death when he saw the civil official.
"Sister-in-law, my younger brother is in the military, so I won't accompany you. Please ask your sister-in-law to tell Xiaojing that she will not let her woman suffer half of the grievances. After lunch, there will be a gift to be delivered. β
Wang Rui didn't explain anything to Zhang Fengyi, and after smiling, he turned around and left without looking back.
"This, this Wang brother ......", Ma Xianglin was also very speechless about Wang Rui's handling of Liu Yangping's presumptuous borrowing of wine.
If he wants to be replaced by Ma Xianglin, he will definitely ignore it and beat this girl first.
However, Liu Yangping and others have already gone far.
This trip to Gu'an is really a beautiful difference. This Liu Yangping alone received more than 1,300 taels of filial piety silver from the Laizhou army and the white pole soldiers.
The same is true of the rest. Not only did he receive a lot of silver for white flowers, but he also had a lot of other possessions.
Because there are a lot of things on the horses, and Liu Yangping and the three of them are civil officials who can't help but bump. The group walked slowly until it was almost past noon, and then they came to the boundary of Beixinzhuang twenty miles from Gu'an to Jingshi Road.
"Let's take a break! Hey, this official's skeleton is going to be shaken apart by this horse! Liu Yangping was so tired that he had only walked more than ten miles this time, and he wanted to stop and eat and drink.
"Okay! My lord! The two principals and several soldiers quickly stopped.
They sat down on two clean stones, and began to eat and drink. Of course, it was divided into one group of soldiers, one group of Liu Yangping, and one group of three civilian officials.
Just as they were eating braised mutton, nibbling on bread, drinking wine, and in good spirits, danger had quietly arrived.
"Captain, the ram is here!" The two team members who were responsible for tracking the whereabouts of Liu Yangping and his party came back to report.
This operation was called "killing pigs and slaughtering sheep" by Chen Song. Therefore, Brother Yin gave Liu Yangping a nickname and called him "Sao Ram".
"Oh! In what place? What are these pigs and sheep doing now? Brother Yin asked excitedly.
"Report to the captain! It's over the hill. They were now resting and eating, as if they were still drinking. The team member who served as a scout reported.
"! These stupid sheep are quite good at enjoying it. He didn't know it when he died, he was so stupid as his grandmother's house! Brother Yin rolled his eyes and scolded.
After scolding, Senior Brother Yin summoned several of his military commanders and gave orders like this. After hearing the order, several people immediately went down to prepare horses to make arrangements.
"Captain Yin, what's the good thing? Why don't you order our Qi family's brothers? Isn't our Qi family not considered a pro-guard? β
As soon as several captains of the pro-guard team left, Zhou Yuntai, the commander of the Qi family's army, rushed up angrily.
"Oh, the gimbal. As for this operation, although my lord believes in you and asks you to join the war. But ......, I myself don't dare to ask you to do it. β
Senior Brother Yin glanced at Zhou Yuntai lightly and replied disapprerovingly.
"Humph! If you don't assign tasks to Qi Jiawu today, you won't tell the reason. After Lao Tzu goes back, he will definitely complain to Chief Officer Chen and the general that you, the captain, are acting unfairly. I'm going to have to give your bastard boss a drink. β
When Zhou Yuntai heard his obvious discriminatory words, he became even more angry. Damn, you're invincible, you're just relying on the general's favor. Why do you look down on people so much?
"Brother Yuntai is angry! It's better not to participate in this mission. I think that your Qi family's brothers may really not be able to do it at that time. It's not about killing the thieves, it's about ......"
Brother Yin said more than half of it, and finally squeaked and couldn't stop.
This grinding is going to make Zhou Yuntai angry. This Yin Di Yin's eldest brother, how can he be like a girl? It's not a pleasure to say.
"Captain Yin, just say it! What is the mission this time? Zhou Yuntai stared at Brother Yin's eyes and asked aggressively.
"The mission this time is to take out several civilian officers of the military department and their entourage. and bring back all their goods and their heads, and give them to our lord."
Brother Yin also stared at Zhou Yuntai's eyes without giving in, and said the purpose of this operation word by word. At the same time, he quietly held the handle of the pistol in his arms.
As long as Zhou Yuntai's expression or words were anything unusual, he would not hesitate to shoot Zhou Yuntai in the head, so that he would be splashed with blood on the spot now!
The Guards only need warriors who are absolutely loyal to the Shogun, and the Shogun's orders are the supreme decree.
"Haha! What is Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu also heard about last night's banquet. These idiots dare to touch the tiger whiskers of our Lord Wang, Lao Tzu has long been eager to cut off their dog heads! Captain Yin, Brother Yin, just give us a chance to perform! β
Zhou Yuntai pleaded with Brother Yin, the top boss, very sincerely, hoping to hear an answer that satisfied him.
"Good! Our brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold! Since then, there have been no outsiders. Let's go together. I'll leave the main task to you! β
Brother Yin excitedly shook Zhou Yuntai's hands, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation. Only by doing the thing in front of him, which completely ignores the laws and discipline of the Ming Dynasty, can he be regarded as completely showing his loyalty to the adults.
"Han supremacy! Pledge allegiance to the Shogun! Zhou Yuntai excitedly performed a standard military salute of the Laizhou Army, and then ran back to his ranks.
"Haha! Or our lord said it well! Please do not agitate. β
The corners of Brother Yin's mouth curled up, and he smiled a little proudly!
