Xingyang, big cold.

Zheng Yuanshou whipped the horse and galloped on the official road.

The mount had done its best, but Zheng Yuanshou still felt dissatisfied. He kept beating the horse's rump with his whip, urging the horse to speed up.

Speaking of which, Zheng Yuanshou's horse can also be regarded as a noble bloodline and belongs to a good horse of BMW. The origin of this horse is not simple. His ancestors were the mounts of the Turkic Khans, and they were later sacrificed to Chang'an and became the royal horses of the Feihuang stables. Yang Jian usurped Zhou, and Zheng Yi assisted him, so he was rewarded by Yang Jian to Zheng Yi. Zheng Yuanshou's mount is the descendant of the flying yellow stable royal horse, and his foot strength is very strong.

Behind Zheng Yuanshou, more than 100 Zheng Fu servants were desperately chasing after him.

But helplessly, the more you chase the distance, the farther away. Fortunately, there is Xingyang City in front, so there is no need to worry, Zheng Yuanshou will have an accident.

The city gate had just opened, and Zheng Yuanshou rushed into Xingyang in the wind.

The doorman looked at Zheng Yuanshou's back in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Just now, but General Zheng?" ”

The old doorman shook off his old eyes and nodded, "It seems that something happened, otherwise General Zheng would not be in such a hurry."

These two are really strange. I heard from the old king of the post station yesterday that in a flash, more than ten waves of people stopped from the post station to change horses, and they were in a hurry. I don't know what's going on, but I hope we don't have to fight again, or we'll suffer again!" ”

The doormen, silent.

The first battle of Liaodong was thought to be a devastating victory, but it ended in a crushing defeat.

Hundreds of thousands of people died in Liaodong, and countless officials and generals were implicated...... I heard that the emperor was not reconciled and wanted to fight again. So many people can't conquer Goguryeo, and if they continue to fight, can they really be defeated? Don't be another fiasco of losing your troops.

"Okay, don't be in a daze, hurry up and get your spirits.

General Zheng is here, and his servant must be about to arrive. Let's cheer up, don't let General Zheng's servants laugh at the end. ”

The doormen heard and answered in unison.

Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and there were not too many pedestrians on the road. Zheng Yuanshou galloped on his horse and came to the gate of the scripture hall unimpeded.

Menzi had just cleaned the gate, and when he saw Zheng Yuanshou being dusty, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Second master, are you back?"

There was surprise in his tone, but Zheng Yuanshou ignored him.

He jumped off his horse, threw the reins in his hand to Menzi, and strode to the door.

He walked through the hallway, ignoring others along the way. hurriedly rushed to his residence, just in time to see the third brother Zheng Yuancong dressed neatly and preparing to go out with his family.

"Big brother?"

Zheng Yuancong was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zheng Yuanshou's face was gloomy, but he still smiled and saluted Zheng Yuancong, "Second brother, don't go out, go in with me." ”

"What's wrong?"

Zheng Yuancong immediately woke up and something big happened. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for the elder brother, who has always been heroic, to have such an expression. He had the heart to ask in detail, but looking at Zheng Yuanshou's appearance, when it came to his mouth, he still swallowed it back. handed the horsewhip to the housekeeper, "Go and tell Mr. Cui that I have something to do today, and I can't go to Donglin Lake with him to enjoy the snow, and ask him to do a lot of Haihan." ”

After speaking, Zheng Yuancong followed Zheng Yuanshou into the house.

"Big brother, what's going on? Why did you come back without a sound? ”

"If I don't come back, something big will happen...... What about Zheng Xing? Where is that little bastard now? ”

Zheng Yuanshou shouted and asked, the steward in front of the door was stunned and hesitated, "Yesterday, the eldest prince and a few young masters were drinking, and they must not have gotten up yet." ”

"Get him here...... If you dare to resist, break his dog's leg for me. ”

Zheng Yuancong chuckled in his heart, "Big brother, could it be that the partridge caused trouble outside?" ”

Zheng Yuanshou snorted, picked up the bronze jue in front of him, drank the wine, and slammed it on the long case without saying a word. Those who are familiar with him know that the more Zheng Yuanshou does not speak, the more it shows that he is angry. Zheng Yuancong didn't dare to ask anymore, so he hurriedly made a look and motioned to the retainers at the door to inform the eldest lady. I hope that Zheng Xing won't cause too much trouble.

Zheng had not yet passed the drunkenness, and he was drunken and pulled out of the warm fragrant nephrite.

Before he even figured out what was going on, he was escorted into the middle hall...... "Do you want to die?" How dare you do this to me! ”

"I think, it's not that they want to die, it's that you want to die......"

Zheng Yuanshou's gloomy words made Zheng Xing realize that his father was actually sitting in the hall. He couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit.

"Father, when did you come back?"

"If I don't come back, I'm afraid your head will fall to the ground!"

Zheng Yuancong snorted lightly and hurriedly stepped forward, "Big brother, if the partridge does something wrong, you should beat it, scold it when you scold, but don't be angry."

Partridge, what good things have you done lately? Why did you make your father so angry, and didn't honestly admit it and admit his mistake to your father? ”

Partridge is Zheng Xing's milk name.

Returning from Pyongyang, Zheng Xing can be described as a spring breeze.

Although the battle failed to protect the children, Zheng Xing also had the merit of killing the enemy. The most important thing is that he brought back thousands of people in the Nanshui camp, and he made great achievements. Although Lai Hu'er was arrested and imprisoned, he could be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, but Zheng Xing was suddenly named a thousand cows by Yang Guang.

This is a position with a great future, and Zheng Xing has been proud for a while.

I am preparing to go to Luoyang to take up a job in the spring of the next year. Yesterday, he said that some of the brothers and sisters of Xingyang, as well as the children of other families, drank and got drunk. Hearing Zheng Yuanshou ask this sentence, Zheng Xing was a little confused. He couldn't remember what he had done wrong.

"Father, the child hasn't done anything lately?"

"What didn't you do?" Zheng Yuanshou smiled angrily, "Zheng Gongzi, your courage is really not small...... What didn't you do? The shameful things you did have now been exposed. I didn't expect that my Zheng family has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is such a bastard thing as you. ”

"Big Brother ......"

"Shut up."

Zheng Yuancong wanted to persuade again, but was angrily reprimanded by Zheng Yuanshou and closed his mouth in fright.

At this time, Zheng Xing's biological mother, Mrs. Lu, also rushed to hear the news. Seeing his son wearing a single coat, kneeling in the middle hall and trembling, he couldn't help but feel a great pain in his heart. Hurriedly ran up, untied the big straps on his body, and draped them on Zheng Xing's body, "Master, what are you doing?"

The partridge is going to Luoyang to take up his post in the spring, and if you don't praise him when you come back, why are you angry at him? ”

"You, shut up for me, too."

Zheng Yuanshou's expression was a little hideous, "You really taught a good son." not only framed others, delayed the fighter plane, but also replaced others' military exploits...... Inaugural? I don't think he needs to go to Luoyang to take up his post, and in a few days, the imperial court will come and take his life. ”

"Master, what are you talking nonsense?"

Mrs. Lu was startled and looked at Zheng Yuanshou in surprise.

And Zheng Xing's face turned pale in an instant, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Zheng Yuancong asked, "Big brother, what's going on?" ”

He didn't dare to intercede for Zheng Xing anymore, because what Zheng Yuanshou said was a big crime of killing his head and stealing his family.

"You ask him."

Mrs. Lu didn't dare to protect it, and grabbed Zheng Xing's arm, "Partridge, what kind of trouble have you done, hurry up and make it clear." ”

"I, I'm ......," Zheng Xingyi gritted his teeth, "Dad, I don't know what you say again." ”

"Don't you know?" Zheng Yuanshou laughed angrily, "It's okay, then when His Majesty sends Qianniu Wei to take you, you will understand." ”

"Big brother, what's going on, you can tell me clearly."

Under Zheng Yuancong's repeated urging, Zheng Yuanshou took out a letter from his arms and threw it to Zheng Yuancong, "If it weren't for Shiying's letter, I would have almost been in the hub." Zheng Xing, do you think that the good things you have done will not be revealed? Then let me tell you, ten days ago, Zheng Yanqing led his troops from Goguryeo, forcibly crossed the Yalu River, fought fiercely with the Goguryeo people on the bank of the Liangshui River, and captured the king of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, alive. ”

Shiying is the expression of Xue Shixiong left behind in Zhuo County.

"Ahh Zheng Yuancong was taken aback.

"Hehe, it's not just him back...... There are still Xie Ke, the son of the Xie family of Yangxia, Hongyi, the son of Renji's virtuous disciple, Mai Zizhong, the eldest grandson of Grandpa Mai, the great-grandson of Mrs. Chengjing, Feng Zhiyu, the son of Feng An, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and the children of the thirteen families who were displaced in Goguryeo due to the Battle of Sashui, a total of 47 people, all of whom were rescued by Zheng Yanqing and returned safely...... He is now being escorted back to Beijing. ”

Zheng Xing's head buzzed, and it suddenly became blank.

Zheng Yuancong's face also became ugly, he looked at Zheng Xing in a daze, and let out a long sigh for a long time.

Only Mrs. Lu still didn't understand what was going on, so she turned her head and asked, "Partridge, didn't you say that Zheng Yanqing surrendered to the enemy in Pyongyang?"

How could he have the audacity to come back? ”

Zheng Yuanshou said gloomily: "Yes, I also want to know, Zheng Qianniu, why did Zheng Yanqing come back?" ”

Zheng Yanqing is still alive, Zheng Yanqing is still alive...... He's back!

Zheng Xing's head was buzzing, and he didn't know how to answer. originally thought that Zheng Yanqing was in danger, and he would inevitably die for a lifetime, and it would be difficult to return. Since he can't come back, he naturally doesn't mind going down the well. Zheng Xing didn't have a good impression of Zheng Yanqing himself, so after he went back, he reported to Hu'er, saying that Zheng Yanqing had surrendered Goguryeo with people. Even the fire in the south water was taken on himself.

Zhou Fa didn't believe it very much, but Laihu'er believed it.

Before the end of the war, the Zheng family held a meeting of clan elders, canceled Zheng Shi'an's identity as a clan elder, and deprived Zheng Shi'an of his land in Gong County.

After Yang Guang returned to Luoyang, when he learned of this, he was even more angry and wanted to behead Zheng Shi'an.

Fortunately, Pei Shiju came forward to intercede, and there were Yu Wenshi and persuasion, and later, Queen Xiao stood up to speak for Zheng Yanqing.

She said: "Your Majesty is too reckless to listen to only one side. Who Zheng Yanqing is, this palace doesn't understand. But this palace knows that a person who can make 'Shigan burns to death an unjust marquis', what kind of martyr's surname should be. He put a good future aside and ran to surrender to the Goguryeo? It's ridiculous...... This palace is willing to vouch for Zheng Yanqing, he is by no means the kind of shameless person who surrenders on his knees. ”

Yang Guang gave up, but he deposed Zheng Yan Qingyun from the title of captain.

After that, Pei Shuying rushed to Gong County with Pei Cuiyun and lived a place for Zheng Shi's security. But now Zheng Shi'an can be regarded as embarrassed. If it weren't for Pei Shuying's appearance, and Guancheng County's Fang Qiao, Fang Xuanling and Xu Shiji secretly took care of them, I was afraid that they wouldn't even have a place to live.

Now, Zheng Yanqing is back!

Not only did he come back, but he also came back with the immortal exploits of Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo County...... Yang Guang's expedition to Liaodong resulted in a loss of troops and a loss of generals, and he only gained half of Liaodong, which can be described as a loss of face. And Zheng Yanqing's capture of Gao Jianwu undoubtedly found a big fig leaf for Yang Guang. Only this one meritorious service, after Zheng Yanqing said, will definitely soar.

Zheng Yanqing has re-emerged, so what will happen to Zheng Xing, and even the entire second room of the Zheng family?

This kind of stakes, even if Zheng Yuancong doesn't have to think about it, he knows it very well in his heart. He took Xue Shixiong's letter and read it over and over again.

Gently placed it on the bookcase and closed his eyes.

galloped through Goguryeo for ten months, raided nearly 100 military villages, and beheaded 10,000 people...... Not to mention, kill Gao Baobao, ambush Park Changjin, kill Che Lihan, eliminate hundreds of people in Eulzhi Wendemanmen, and rescue thousands of Sui troops. Although most of them died in battle, it was also a great achievement. Moreover, among the people rescued by Zheng Yanqing, there were also Mai Zizhong, Feng Zhiyu, and even Xin Shixiong, the general of Zuotunwei.

Even if Xin Shixiong is dead, as far as the military is concerned, Zheng Yanqing's affection will be remembered in their hearts.

Zheng Yanqing was originally a disciple of Changsun Sheng, but because the situation was unclear before, the military did not take action for a long time. Now that the matter is clear, how can the generals of the provinces give up? It's not just the military that won't give up, such as the Mai family, the Feng family, the Xie family, the Cui family, and the 13 gate lords in Hebei, I'm afraid they won't give up either. In addition to this, the face of the emperor ...... How could he not appease Zheng Yanqing?

Xingyang Zheng is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the world all of a sudden.

When Zheng Yuancong opened his eyes again, looking at Zheng Xing's gaze, there was no warmth.

Mrs. Lu was stunned, and suddenly slapped Zheng Xing in the face, "You foolish thing, how can you do such a thing?" ”

After speaking, she knelt in front of Zheng Yuanshou with a plop.

"Master, you have to think of a way to save the life of the partridge...... Otherwise, let him go now? Hide first, wait for the limelight to pass, and then come back. ”

Zheng Yuanshou looked at his old wife and smiled bitterly.

"Madam, if he leaves, the Zheng family, and even your Lu family, will bear the thunderous wrath of Your Majesty.

Someone, show Zheng Xing to me. No one is allowed to see him or speak to him without my command. When it was said that the children of all the families who returned with Zheng Xing were all arrested...... Madam, don't blame me for being ruthless, no one can protect him at this time, and we will all be implicated together. Don't just cry, go back now and write to your father-in-law and ask them for help. ”

Mrs. Lu was born in the long house of the Lu family in Fanyang, and her family has some status.

Zheng Xing was dragged out by several warriors, and while struggling, he cried: "Dad, spare your life...... Mother, help me, help me! ”

Even if she couldn't bear it in her heart, how could Mrs. Lu dare to plead again at this time?

"Big brother, I'll go to Gong County immediately."

Zheng Yuancong stood up, "Fortunately, the land in Gongxian County has not been distributed yet, so it will be returned to Zheng Shi'an first." I pleaded with Cheng Sai On again and asked him to forgive him. Although Zheng Shi'an hates us now, he has deep feelings for the Zheng family. As long as you know it with affection and move it with reason, you should be able to appease. As long as Zheng Shi'an can be appeased and let him come forward to talk about Xiang, Yan Qing will be easier to say.

You immediately discuss this matter with Zheng Shanyuan, and restore the old identity of Zheng Shi'an as soon as possible.

Then I need to visit Jung In-ki...... I suspect that Brother Inji must have gotten the news as well...... In short, we must make all preparations now, and try to suppress the situation before Yanqing returns. Also, we must be prepared to give him adequate compensation to his grandchildren when the time is right...... If it really doesn't work, I will give them the industry of Baihuawu. ”

Baihuawu is located at the foot of Song Mountain.

It is a place with beautiful scenery and extremely fertile land. There are about 5,000 hectares of fertile land, which is the land accumulated by the Zheng family for generations.

The most important thing is that Baihuawu employs more than 1,400 households, which is the Zheng family, and it is an extremely important foundation of the scripture hall.

Although Zheng Yuanshou was reluctant, he also knew that at such a time, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"I hope that Baihuawu can let Zheng Yanqing eliminate his anger towards us."

Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Yuancong glanced at each other, and they both saw the heavy bitterness in each other's eyes.

***

Zheng Yanqing is indeed too tired!

Since Pyongyang, he has been fighting his spirit and leading people around. To put it nicely, it's called a rush, and to put it mildly, it's to flee.

In ten months, his weight has been less than 100 catties, and his whole person has lost weight.

This is not bad, but the most important thing is all kinds of mental dedication. He never dared to sleep too hard, but tried his best to find a way to survive for him and everyone. The body and energy have long been overdrawn. Not only him, but also his white dragon horse, is also in a state of overdraft.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how could Jade Hoof be kicked and blind?

To put it bluntly, it was still the lack of physical strength and energy that caused the final result.

After Zheng Yanqing fell into a coma, he kept dreaming.

In the dream, he saw Jade Hoof running on the endless field, and saw Dou Xiaowen, Zheng Huai'an, and those robes who had died in Goguryeo, one by one, flashed in front of him.

"Zheng Gongzi, let's go home!"

"yes, we're home......"

The figure flickered and disappeared, and gradually disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, a large group of Goguryeo people appeared in the sky and quickly rushed towards him. There are high treasures, there are Park Chang Kim, Che Rihan...... Bloodied, brandished with knives and guns, they pounced on him fiercely.

"Zheng Yanqing, give me back my surname!"

Yan Qing wanted to dodge, but his body couldn't move, and he screamed and opened his eyes as he watched Ming Huang slash at the steel knife.

"Yanqing, you're finally awake...... Parking, all live horse parking! ”

As soon as the curtain was raised, Pei Xingyan appeared in front of Zheng Yanqing.

Zheng Yanqing's head was still a little confused, looked at Pei Xingyan, and asked in a daze, "Pei Yuanqing, why are you here?" ”

Before Pei Xingyan could speak, there was a commotion outside the car. Immediately after, Zheng Hongyi, Xie Ke, Xue Wanche and others appeared in the car one by one.

There is even more majestic sea outside the car and whispered: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze ......"

"You ......"

Zheng Yanqing patted his forehead and slowly came to his senses.

"We, where is this?"

Zheng Hongyi's eyes were red and swollen and said: "Yanqing, we just passed through Fucheng, and now we are in Xindu County. ”

"Sinto-gun?"

Zheng Yanqing looked dazed, and asked softly after a while: "We, are we home?" ”

"It's home, it's home!"

Zheng Hongyi said: "You fainted in Liangshui that day, and Wei Fu was very nervous. He took you back to Tongding Town overnight, and the military doctor said, "You are too tired, so you fainted." Later, General Xue sent someone to take us to Zhuo County...... Just a few days ago, His Majesty had just exchanged the body of Mai Tie Cane Mai Zhu Guo from the hands of the Goguryeo people. Wheat manure and scallops returned ahead of schedule with the messengers.

They wanted to wait for you to wake up before leaving, but ......

Mai Fei said: He will be in Luoyang, waiting for you to go back. A few days ago, an edict came from Luoyang, ordering you to return to the Eastern Capital immediately, and His Majesty would summon you in Luoyang. General Xue didn't dare to delay, so he asked Brother Pei and Fourth Brother Xue to escort us back. Yanqing, you've been in a coma for fifteen days, but you've scared all of us......"

"I've been in a coma for fifteen days?"

Zheng Yanqing rubbed his cheeks vigorously and slowly eased up.

At this time, Shen Guang came over with a Lang Zhong to diagnose Zheng Yanqing. In order to let Zheng Yanqing arrive in Luoyang safely, Xue Shixiong also tried his best. specially found a local famous doctor in Zhuo County and went to Luoyang with him, in order to take care of Zheng Yanqing.

"Zheng Gongzi's pulse is stable and stable, and there is no major problem. It's just that the body bones are still a little weak, and I will slowly raise it. I remember that the front is Wuyi County, and we can settle down in Wuyi tonight. When the time comes, I will prescribe two prescriptions, and when I wait until Luoyang, I will be cured. ”

Zheng Yanqing said softly: "So, thank you very much." ”

Shen Guang took Lang Zhong down.

The chariots and horses continued to move, but the people who drove the chariots had been replaced by the majestic sea and Kan Ling.

Xue Wanche led the troops in front of the formation, and Pei Xingyan, Zheng Hongyi, and Xie Ke sat in the carriage and talked to Zheng Yanqing. Pei Xingyan is now an official worshipping Hu Benlang, and when he conquered Liaodong, he and Yuwen Chengdu were both responsible for accompanying him and protecting Yang Guang.

After Yang Guang withdrew his troops, he arranged for people to negotiate with the Goguryeo people, wanting to return the body of Mai Tiezhu.

And the envoy in charge of the negotiation is Pei Xingyan's own uncle, Pei Shiqing. Because the road was not very peaceful, Pei Shiju asked Pei Xingyan to protect him all the way. Unexpectedly, as soon as he begged for Mai Tiezhu's corpse back, Zheng Yanqing suddenly killed him from Goguryeo. From the Yalu River to Liangshui, for a whole day, the movement was not small. Wei Wensheng, who had always been waiting for Goguryeo, immediately realized that the situation had changed.

He quickly sent Xue Wanche to inspect and check, but Pei Xingyan heard that it might be Zheng Yanqing who came back, so he couldn't help but follow.

Pei Xingyan never believed that Zheng Yanqing would surrender to the Goguryeo people.

For this reason, he also had a very unpleasant quarrel with his father Bae In-ki. Zheng Yanqing came back, just proving that he was right. Pei Xingyan said with a smile: "This time, let's see what my father says." ”

"I surrender to the Goguryeo? Where does this begin? “

Zheng Yanqing looked dazed.

"This ......"

Pei Xingyan was about to answer, but was secretly pulled by Zheng Hongyi.

"It's just a rumor from some boring people, don't take it to heart. This time, we captured Gao Jianwu alive, which can be described as a great achievement. When you go back, Your Majesty will definitely have a reward...... Hehe, didn't you see how ugly Gao Jianwu's face was after waking up. ”

He pulled the topic away, and Zheng Yanqing didn't pay much attention to it.

"What about Gao Jianwu?"

"Pei Shilang has escorted Gao Jianwu and returned to Luoyang ahead of schedule."

Zheng Yanqing coughed lightly twice, but there was no joy in his heart. He thought of Jade Hoof and couldn't help but ask, "Where is Jade Hoof?" ”

"In the car behind," Sheko said.

We brought Jade Hoof back to Tongding Town, and originally Wei Fu wanted to bury it on the spot. However, Hongyi said that you and Yuhoer have a deep relationship, so it is better to bring it back and bury it in your hometown. Therefore, Wei Fuwei specially arranged a carriage for you to take Jade Hoof and go home together. ”

Let's go home!

Zheng Yanqing was suddenly a little sad, his expression was lonely, and he bowed his head gently.

"Hongyi, thank you. This arrangement is the best, Jade Hoof must think so in her heart......"

"Yanqing, you just woke up, let's rest first." Xie Ke saw that Zheng Yanqing's mood was a little wrong, so he hurriedly glanced at him and said with a smile: "When we arrive in Wuyi, let's settle down, and then talk well." ”

Zheng Yanqing just woke up and said something for a while, and his body bones were a little weak.

He nodded in agreement and lay down again.

Pei Xingyan and the others went out, and Zheng Yanqing was lying alone in the carriage, a little sleepy in a daze. However, he muttered a little: I surrender to the Goguryeo? Where do you start?

(To be continued)
