Chapter 374: The Battle Before the War (15)
The news of Qin En's serious injury reached Cheng Yanjin's ears, Cheng Yanjin was a fiery temper, and he came to Qin Shubao's residence directly with his gossip Kaishanyue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Uncle Bao! I heard that En'er was injured by someone, go! Let's go to them, my gossip has not seen blood for a long time, let's let it open meat today! "Cheng Yanjin is not married now, so he has no children yet, and Qin En's little mouth is like smeared with honey, which will make Cheng Yanjin the most happy. Therefore, as soon as Cheng Yanjin heard the news that Qin En was injured, he immediately came to Qin Shubao's mansion with his weapon, wanting to avenge Qin En. Qin Shubao hurriedly stopped Cheng Biting Jin.
"Bite the gold, you wait a minute, wait a minute." Qin Shubao pulled Cheng Yanjin back, in addition to his brute strength, Cheng Yanjin was not a little worse than Qin Shubao in terms of martial arts, and he was restrained by Qin Shubao all of a sudden.
"Uncle Bao, you ......" Qin Shubao pulled Cheng Yanjin into his room.
"Bite the gold, you sit down first. Listen to me first. After Cheng Yanjin sat down, after Qin Shubao told Cheng Yanjin the whole thing, Cheng Yanjin slowly put down the hand holding the gossip Kaishanyue.
"What? You said that it was someone from the eldest grandson family who fought with Qin En, or the third brother of the eldest grandson Wuji......" When Cheng Biting Jin said the words Eldest Sun Wuji, Uncle Qin blocked Cheng Biting Jin's mouth on the BMW:
"Be quiet." Qin Shubao looked outside the door and made sure that no one was eavesdropping before he slowly quieted down.
"Hey! What can I do? "Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin have already been very disappointed in Wang Shichong, and they have been looking for an opportunity to surrender to Li Tang, and now Qin En actually beat the third brother of the eldest grandson Wuji, although the matter of the eldest grandson Wuji being kicked out of the house by the eldest grandson Wuxian has been known to the world, but there is a common saying among the people - breaking bones and connecting tendons. No matter how you say it, everyone is a brother. There is a more important reason that Changsun Wuxian's biological father, Changsun Sheng, was a god-level figure in the Great Sui army back then, and Li Tang's current soldiers and horses, most of the military attaches have experience in the former Sui army, either Changsun Sheng's colleague or Changsun Sheng's protΓ©gΓ©, if they know that Qin beat Changsun Sheng's third son, then in the future, even if Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin can take refuge in Li Tang, it is inevitable that they will not be excluded and suppressed by this gang of former Sui veterans. At this time, Qin Shubao's porter came to report:
"My lord, General Niu Jinda has come to ask for a meeting." Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin heard that Niu Jinda was coming. Immediately asked the porter to hurry up and invite Niu Jinda in. After Niu Jinda walked in, he warmly greeted Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao:
"Ahh You are also here, and there are some things outside the door that are for En'er, so that En'er can recuperate. β
"En'er is really ignorant, and he actually fought openly with the third son of General Changsun." As soon as Qin Shubao's words were finished, Niu Jinda did not talk to Qin Shubao on this issue:
"Hey! It's just a small problem, but you can't blame En'er for it. As you know, Wang Shichong has already issued an order to let our three battalions be ready to march to the Tongguan area at any time, and Qin En is also anxious for the brothers! The soldiers don't have much military pay, and the gambling debts owed by the eldest grandson Wuxian are a lot of money!? Two days ago, Wang Shichong suddenly summoned Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda and others:
"See the Emperor."
"Ahh Three Aiqing. You're coming. Someone! Sit, tea! β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Qin Shubao, Cheng Bitingjin, Niu Jinda and the other three sat down, Wang Shichong pulled out a person from behind the screen:
"Three Aiqing, the widow will introduce to the three Aiqing, this is the prince of Shandong Leshou Dou Jiande, the prince of the country, Lord Ling Jingling. Lord Ling, these three generals are my beloved generals Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, and Niu Jinda. Ling Jing saluted Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, and Niu Jinda:
"Ahh General Qin, General Cheng, General Niu, Ling Jing is polite. β
"Ahh Lord Ling was polite. When Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and the other three heard that Ling Jing was Dou Jiande's Guozi Priest Wine, a question emerged in their hearts - Dou Jiande's Guozi Priest Wine came to the Luoyang Palace, could it be that Dou Jiande was ready to intervene? Probably seeing the doubts of Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and the others, Wang Shichong smiled and said:
"The three generals, are you thinking that Lord Ling Jing is not enjoying happiness in Shandong, why did he come all the way to our Luoyang? Hahaha, that's right, Lord Ling Jing came here this time to convey the will of King Dou, who intends to join forces with the widow to jointly resist Li Tang. Hearing that Dou Jiande was about to intervene, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda and the other three all broke out in a cold sweat in their hearts - Dou Jiande was ready to intervene. Wang Shichong's tone changed:
"However, in order to show the sincerity of our court's cooperation with King Dou, King Dou asked Lord Ling Jing to pass it on his behalf, let us attack Tongguan first, and the widow feels that in this battle of Tongguan, the vanguard is none other than the three generals!" Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda and the other three people thought of the meeting with Wang Shichong at the beginning, and they all bowed their heads and were silent. At this time, Qin Shubao's porter shouted outside the door:
"Tell the general, someone outside the door asks to see the general."
"Oh! Who is it? β
"I heard that it was the family of the eldest grandson's mansion, and after listening to the order of the eldest grandson Wuao, they came to ask to see the general." Hearing that it was someone sent by the eldest grandson's mansion, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda and the other three looked at each other, and Cheng Yanjin was the first to say:
"Good! It must be that the master is here to ask for guilt, really, En'er Mall is like this, and he actually sent someone to come, okay, I will beat him out and let him tell the eldest grandson Wuao, my old Cheng is not easy to bully. Cheng Biting Jin said, and at the same time he was going to take his own gossip to open the mountain, Niu Jinda stopped Cheng Biting Jin desperately:
"Bite Jin, calm down."
"What's calm, in fact, En'er and the eldest grandson Wuxian are fighting, one reason is that the eldest grandson Wuxian's broken household is still holding the shelf of the nobles, this time I will beat the dog of the eldest grandson's family first, so that the eldest grandson's family knows how many catties and taels they are." Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda, Qin Shubao's background is different, Niu Jinda and Qin Shubao's fathers have been low-level officials in the government, and Niu Jinda and Qin Shubao have also been officers of the former Sui, somewhat family upbringing, and have some respect for Changsun Sheng, but Cheng Biting Jin was born as a robber, once at the end of the Sui Dynasty in order to survive, organized an armed force of hundreds of people, did the work of occupying the mountain as the king and collecting tolls, and later, when Li Mi raised troops, Cheng Biting Jin was attached to Li Mi and was reused, as one of the hussars of the inner army. Li Mi selected 8,000 brave men in the army, who belonged to the four hussars, divided into left and right, and were known as the inner army. Li Mi often said to people: "These 8,000 people are worth a million troops." "Cheng bites one of the four hussars under the leadership of the golden pipe, and the favor he receives is particularly generous. Later, Li Mi failed and was captured by Wang Shichong, who appointed him as a general, but he was also one of the people who received exclusion in Wang Shichong's army, and was often insulted and insulted by the royal family led by Wang Xuanying. Therefore, Cheng Yanjin has no good impression of court officials and children of the family, and despises down-and-out families like the eldest grandson family even more. Qin Shubao instructed the porter:
"Let's just say that General Ben is not here, and there are a lot of military affairs to be busy. The wounded general of the eldest grandson and the third son will bring gifts to visit another day. The porter agreed, and after a while the porter returned:
"General, that person said that the eldest grandson sent him to deliver the prayers."
"Please!" Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and other three people heard the word "worship post", their hearts were very strange, the worship post was a very grand etiquette at that time, generally the junior to the superior or the subordinate to the superior will use the greeting post, and the average person just uses the general invitation. Qin Shubao instructed the porter:
"Let him in!" Not long after, Qin Shubao's concierge brought people in. After the visitor walked into the room, he first saluted Qin Shubao and said:
"Changsun Mansion listens to Changsun Qi to see General Qin." Then he saw Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda, and immediately saluted Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda:
"Ahh Master Cheng and Lord Niu are also there! As he spoke, Changsun Qi took out three more greetings from his arms and respectfully handed them to Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda.
"My son-in-law is waiting for the three generals at home, please make sure the three generals go tonight." Qin Shubao looked at the three red prayer stickers and asked the eldest grandson:
"This eldest grandson...... The eldest grandson brother. The eldest grandson immediately knelt down and said:
"General Qin is ashamed of the villain, the villain is just a messenger of the Changsun Mansion. I really don't dare to take this brother seriously! β
"Oh! All right! That ......"
"If the general wants to call the villain, let's call the villain Aki!"
"Ahh All right! Aki! Do you know what the eldest grandson invited us for? β
"Oh! Our son-in-law instructed him to convey to the three generals, saying that he had raised a lot of silver taels to help our third son's family pay off his gambling debts. If the three generals had nothing else to do, the villain would take his leave first. After saying that, Changsun Qi left without looking back. Qin Shubao said to Niu Jinda and Cheng Yanjin:
"Jinda, bite the gold, I carefully observed the person named Changsun Qi, and saw that he walked lightly and had strong limbs, and it was likely that he was a master of the rivers and lakes invited by the Changsun family." η¨ε¬ι says:
"What, are you saying that the eldest grandson family wants to use this opportunity to repay gambling debts against us for this incident? How so? Now that the eldest grandson family has fallen into that state, how can it be so financial to hire Jianghu masters to deal with us now? Qin Shubao said:
"Not necessarily, the eldest grandson family is a big family that has been passed down from the royal branch of the Northern Wei Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and the family heritage is not something that those of us can understand."
"That's what Brother Uncle Bao means......" Qin Shubao muttered in a low voice in Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda's ears, and both Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda nodded.
