After everyone finished eating, Chen Qun looked at Dian Wei and said: "Brother Dian, I have to go to Xuzhou next, I will probably not be able to attend your wedding in person, I will first wish you and your two sisters a lifetime of love and old age." ”

Dian Wei looked at Chen Qun and smiled: "The owner, you are busy with you, if you can marry the two of them to me, I will be very content!" Female warriors are very difficult to come across! ”

Chen Qun nodded and smiled: "I see! Brother Dian, when my two sisters get married, Guan 20 and Wei 20, who are in charge of Yanzhou Chen Ji Restaurant, will send them out of the cabinet on my behalf, and if I am free, I will definitely come to your wedding. ”

"Thank you, owner!" Dian Wei clasped his fist at Chen Qun.

Chen Qun nodded and looked at Hua Da and Hua Qi: "Two sisters, you will stay in Dongjun City and prepare your dowry well." ”

"Thank you, master!" Hua Da and Hua Qi hugged their fists together.

Chen Qun smiled at the second daughter: "I wish you happiness!" ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he got up and said, "Okay, let's rest here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" All the guards stood up in unison and hugged their fists.

That night, Hua Da and Hua Qi came to see Chen Qun together, and after the second daughter saluted Chen Qun, Hua Da said softly: "The head of the family, the subordinates and the seventh sister will not be able to protect you by your side in the future, you must pay attention to safety!" ”

Chen Qun looked at the second daughter and smiled slightly: "Two sisters, please sit down, I just have something to tell you." ”

Hua Da and Hua Qi saluted Chen Qun again when they heard this, and then sat down on the chair opposite Chen Qun.

Chen Qun smiled after waiting for the second daughter to sit down: "Two sisters, it's actually not a big deal. ”

Hua Da saw that Chen Qun was a little embarrassed, so he hugged his fists and said: "Family master, if you have something to say, just say it!" Is it about our husband? ”

Chen Qun looked at Hua Da and smiled slightly: "It's still the eldest sister who understands me." I hope that the two sisters will be able to persuade your husband Jun Dian Wei more in the future, so that he can follow me to do things at all times. I'm just asking for this, what do you think of the two sisters? ”

Hua Da and Hua Qi first glanced at each other, then nodded to each other, and then Hua Da and Hua Qi got up and bowed to Chen Qun in unison.

After the ceremony, Hua Da looked at Chen Qun's eyes and said, "Family master, don't worry!" It is our duty to persuade our husband to follow the head of the family and you, and it is also what our husband should do. We can't repay the kindness of the head of the family, so we have to let our husband repay it instead of us. ”

"Yes, the head of the family, my sister means the same as mine! Even if the head of the house doesn't explain, we will do it. Hua Qi then looked at Chen Qundao.

Chen Qun looked at the second daughter and nodded and smiled, "Second sister, please sit down and say." ”

Chen Qun waited for the second daughter to sit down again and said with a smile: "Two sisters, Brother Dian is a hero in the world, there is no doubt about this!" To tell you the truth, I agreed to marry you to Brother Dian, and I do have the intention of wooing Brother Dian, but fortunately, you have affection for each other, so I will do it, the beauty of adults.

If there is nothing else to do, then so be it, the two elder sisters stay in Dongjun City to prepare your dowry, and if the gold is not enough, they will take it from Guan Twenty. Don't suffer any grievances, the Chen family is your eternal mother's family. ”

"Thank you, Master! The head of the family, it was you and the master who raised our sisters to adulthood, if it weren't for that, our sisters wouldn't know where they were? I don't know if it's dead or alive, but it's a pity that we haven't repaid the great kindness of the family master and are about to leave the family master, and our sisters are very guilty and uncomfortable! Hua Da and Hua Qi got up and bowed to Chen Qun again.

Chen Qun picked up the second daughter and smiled: "Good sister, I understand your intentions!" Your help in helping me and admonishing Brother Dian Wei is the greatest help to me. Okay, don't be sad anymore, it's not early, go and rest! ”

"Subordinates retire! Rest early, my lord! After Hua Da and Hua Qi finished speaking, they went with red eyes.

Chen Qun smiled slightly after the second daughter left: "Brother Dian actually likes female warriors!" It's so much fun! I don't know what kind of woman the second brother and uncle Zhi like? ”

Nothing else.

On the second day, Chen Qun said goodbye to Dian Wei, Hua Da, and Hua Qi, and then left with Chen Dao, Guan Yu, and twenty personal guards. Hua Da and Hua Qi waved vigorously at the backs of Chen Qun and the others, and did not stop until the shadows of Chen Qun and his party disappeared.

Seeing this, Dian Wei said softly: "Two ladies, let's also pack up and go back to my house to meet my parents." ”

Hua Da and Hua Qi smiled at each other when they heard this, and then took Dian Wei's arm back one left and one right.

After three days of traveling, Chen Qun and his entourage finally came to the territory of Danyang County, Xuzhou, and after coming to the Chen Ji Restaurant in Danyang City, Chen Qun first had a full meal with everyone, and then met Wei Da.

Chen Qun whispered after Wei Da walked into his room, "Wei Da, sit down and say." ”

Wei Da first bowed to Chen Qun, and then sat down and hugged his fists without waiting for Chen Qun to ask: "Family master, when the subordinates came to Danyang County, more than 5,000 Danyang guards had been recruited here.

When his subordinates arrived, they first distributed the money according to the instructions of the head of the family, but only 2,000 people were given money, and the remaining 3,000 people could not find their families. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun frowned and said, "How can so many people not be able to find their families? ”

Wei Da frowned when he heard this: "In order to protect the safety of their village, most of the people who come out will not tell the location of their hometown, and most of the information registered by their subordinates is false, so they will come here." I hope the head of the family will forgive the carelessness of his subordinates! ”

After Wei Da finished speaking, he knelt down to Chen Qun and begged for mercy.

Chen Qun personally stepped forward to help Wei Dahou and said in a deep voice: "Good brother, this is not your fault! Danyangwei gave his life for our Chen family, and I really couldn't bear to buy their lives just by giving them a thousand dollars, so I did this. Since they can't find it, forget it, and when their relatives find them in the future, we will give them money. So you have fifteen hundred gold left on you? ”

Wei Da nodded: "Yes, the head of the family, plus the fifteen hundred gold sent before the fourteenth, it is a total of three thousand gold." Fifteen thousand people were recruited under the three thousand metals, and there were fifteen hundred gold left. ”

Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "So we have recruited 20,000 Danyang Guards now?" ”

Wei Da nodded: "Yes, the head of the family, we were able to recruit so much, or because we relaxed the conditions later." ”

Chen Qun's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he stared and said: "Twenty thousand Danyang Wei, plus the remaining two thousand people in the family, is twenty-two thousand, which is still a bit less!" The last time the Ten Servants sent 15,000 men to attack the mountain city and failed, then they will definitely send more men in the future. No, we still have to keep recruiting. ”

Hearing this, Wei Da clenched his fists and said, "Family master, if you want to recruit another 15,000 Danyang Wei, I'm afraid it's very difficult!" In the past few days, there are fewer and fewer people who have come to sign up to join Danyangwei, and there are only about a dozen people every day. That wasn't the case before. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun looked at Wei Da with his eyebrows: "You mean that almost all the people of Danyang who are willing to be guards have come to sign up?" ”

Wei Da nodded: "Yes, the head of the family, after all, the population of Danyang is not very large." We have recruited 41,000 Danyang guards, which is almost close to the limit of the Danyang population that can send troops.

After all, according to the recruitment requirements of the head of the family, fifteen people out of one soldier is the limit. Although the population of Danyang is nearly one million, after all, there are still people who have joined other families as guards. Therefore, it is already the limit that we can recruit more than 40,000 Danyang Guards, and we want to recruit more, unless the conditions are relaxed again. ”

Chen Qun shook his head when he heard this: "This can't be, we can't recruit those older Danyangwei to solve our problem." Then let's do it, the recruitment of Danyangwei is over, prepare the manpower, and when the manpower is ready, we will immediately start to go to the mountain city. Thank you! ”

"Thank you for your forgiveness! Subordinates retire! Wei Da gave Chen Qun a fist salute and turned to leave.

In the next week, Chen Qun waited for Wei Da to prepare manpower in Danyang County, but Chen Gong on the other side of Luoyang finally waited for the person he least wanted to see.

Gao Wang, one of the ten permanent attendants, brought a hundred Yulinwei masters and four personal eunuch retinues to Xinzheng City to meet him, Henan Yin.

After Chen Gong welcomed Gao Wang and his entourage into his Taishou Mansion, he asked Gao Wang to sit down, and then stood up and saluted Gao Wang: "Lord Gao, why did you suddenly have time to come to Xiaguan, Henan Yin's Mansion as a guest?" ”

Gao Wang looked at Chen Gong and smiled slightly, and then took a sip of tea from the teacup sent by his subordinates and said with a smile: "Chen Taishou, I didn't expect you to be so poor, and the tea you drink is so ordinary!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Gong hurriedly saluted Gao Wang: "Don't misunderstand, Lord Gao, this is the best tea in Xiaguan's Taishou Mansion!" Xia Guan definitely didn't dare to treat Master Gao slowly. ”

Gao Wang looked at Chen Gong and said with a smile: "Chen Taishou doesn't need to be nervous, the slave family doesn't mean to blame Chen Taishou." It's just that the slave family heard that Chen Taishou sent 20,000 elite soldiers to be stationed at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, which is the property of the Chen family in Yingchuan, and it is also the owner of Chen Ji Restaurant, the richest man in the world.

Chen Taishou sent people to protect the Chen family, didn't Chen Qun be loyal to Chen Taishou? Chen Taishou don't say that you are a family, the slave family has already found out when they came, although Chen Taishou and Chen Qun are both surnamed Chen, there is nothing involved between you. ”

Chen Gong clenched his fists when he heard this, and said, "What Lord Gao said is extremely true! Xiaguan did not have any relationship with the Chen family in Shaomu Mountain, but the Chen family, as a family under the rule of Xiaguan, was attacked by a group of black-clothed people of unknown origin, resulting in more than 10,000 deaths in the Chen family's guards.

Xia Guan thought that this was a dereliction of duty on the part of Xia Guan, so he sent people to guard the weakened Chen family to prevent the thieves from committing another crime. I also hope that your lord will forgive the crime of not investigating the governance of the lower officials! ”

Gao Wangyan smiled and said, "I see! Chen Taishou, as the parent official of Henan Yin, although your disposal seems to be in place, it is too much! How can you use the soldiers and horses of the court to protect a great family? Your Majesty has an edict ordering you to immediately withdraw the officers and troops under the Shaomuro Mountain. Officers and soldiers cannot serve the family.

As for the crisis of the Chen family you mentioned, then leave it to them and the Chen family themselves to deal with it, that is, the grievances between the big families of the family, our court cannot interfere! The business of Chen Ji Restaurant is so big, it is normal to arouse hatred, Chen Taishou should not abolish his public for personal reasons! ”

Chen Gong never thought that Gao Wang would take out His Majesty's dictation to coerce him, Chen Gong instantly fell into a dilemma, if he agreed to withdraw the army, then he would not be able to speak to Chen, if he did not agree to withdraw the army, then he would be disobeying the holy order.

Chen Gong knew very well that although the current imperial power fell to the head of the Ten Standing Servants, no one dared to disobey the Holy Order openly! After all, everyone was watching, but no one dared to be the first to disobey.

Gao Wang saw that Chen Gong was hesitating, so he got up and said in a deep voice: "Chen Taishou, do you want to openly disobey the holy oracle?" That's going to kill your head! ”

Chen Gong hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "The lower officials don't dare!" It's just that Xia Guan had told the Chen family master that he would help him guard the mountain city for two months, and now he was withdrawing like this, and Xia Guan really couldn't explain to the Chen family master. ”

Gao Wangyan glared at Chen Gong when he heard this: "Then will you be able to explain to Your Majesty?" If you dare to openly disobey the Holy Command, then you will wait to be imprisoned and killed! ”

Chen Gong thought that it was important to save his life first, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't be angry, the lower official will carry out the holy order." ”

Gao Wangyan smiled when he heard this: "Okay! Then the slave family won't bother Chen Taishou! Leave! ”

After Chen Gong sent Gao Wang and his entourage away, he returned to the Taishou Mansion and pondered, on the one hand, the Ten Standing Servants pretended to pass on the holy decree, and if he did not carry out the holy order, he would face imprisonment; On the one hand, it was his commitment to Chen Qun, and Chen Gong suddenly fell into a dilemma.

"Alas! It's still too simple to think of the ten permanent waiters! Now I have to make a choice, should I follow Chen Qun? Or do you continue to lurk and wait for the right time? Chen Gong muttered to himself.

"If I choose to follow Chen Qun, it is equivalent to choosing to follow Liu Bei and choosing the road of Zhongxing Han Dynasty, if I don't choose to follow Chen Qun, then I can only wait for the opportunity in the future. What should I do? “

Chen Gong paced back and forth in his room, but he was unable to make a final decision.

"Alas! The Han Dynasty has lasted for nearly 170 years since Guangwu Zhongxing, and it is time to change the dynasty! Although Chen Qun's current strength is not weak, there are not no big families in the world that can be compared with the Chen family, but there are many. In that case, there is no need for me to make a choice now, or wait and see. ”

After Chen Gong made a decision, he immediately said loudly: "Someone! ”

"Your Excellency!" Hearing the sound, two guards came in and saluted Chen Gong with fists.

Chen Gong looked at the two of them and said, "You take the seal letter of your official and go to the foot of Shaomu Mountain to see General Chengsen, and order him to bring the army back to its original station immediately." ”

"Yes!" After the guards received the order, they took the seal letter from Chen Gong and turned to leave.

Chen Gong smiled bitterly after the guards left: "I can't do this Henan Yin!" That's it! Anyway, it's a taste of being too shou, and it's really uncomfortable! So be it! ”

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he began to clean up his fineness, but fortunately, his family was in his hometown in Yanzhou, and he didn't have too much to worry about.

After Chen Gong finished cleaning up, he walked around the Taishou Mansion alone, and after reading it in four rounds, Chen Gong returned to his residence.

After dark, Chen Gong changed out of his official uniform, dressed up as a common person, and left the house alone with a small package.

The next morning, Cheng Sen came to the Taishou Mansion to report to the Chen Palace, but found that the Chen Palace people were gone, but the Taishou Yin Xin was in his hands.

Cheng Sen looked at Chen Gong's official uniform, smiled bitterly at the sorted items, and then sent someone to send the news of Chen Gong's resignation and departure to the palace along with the Taishou seal letter.

After the messenger left, Cheng Sen looked at the empty Taishou Mansion and sighed: "The world is about to be in chaos, people's minds have changed, I should also find a home as soon as possible!" Chen Taishou is so wise, even he was forced to resign, it can be seen that he is neither optimistic about the Chen family nor the royal family, as the guard of Henan Yin, what should I do? ”

Chen Gong is a very capable person, although he has been in charge of Henan Yin for only half a year, but his officials are impressed by Chen Gong's ability, and now Chen Gong is forced to resign, almost all the officials under Luoyang Yin began to think about the reason after getting the news.

Many people think of one point, that is, troubled times are really coming! Even wise people like Chen Gong have begun to avoid troubled times, so what are ordinary people like them waiting for.
