Chapter 8: The Little County Lord
According to Duoduo's conjecture, after Yan Qing heard such news, he would be extremely shocked and even angry.
Who knows, Zheng Yanqing's reaction was very calm, so calm that he just said 'um'.
His reaction made Duoduo a little flustered...... "The father-in-law you are talking about is the owner of Dading Restaurant, the Xiangzhou businessman, a husky." ”
"Ahh
Duoduo stood up, took two steps back, widened his eyes, and said in shock: "You, how do you know?" ”
Yan Qing smiled bitterly.
In fact, he was also shocked in his heart.
It's just that he is used to not easily revealing his emotions, and with Duoduo's experience, he can't see his true thoughts. Just now Duoduo said that she went to Xiangzhou first, and then when she practiced martial arts in Hannan, Zheng Yanqing had a strange idea.
He thinks of a lot of things!
Five years ago, when Duoduo cut his hair, wrote other gifts, and sent people to give them to him, weren't the clothes of those knights exactly what the white-clothed Maitreya was used to? If those people are Maitreya in white, and Duoduo is practicing martial arts in Xiangzhou, Zheng Yanqing will naturally think of the mysterious Dading restaurant owner in Luoyang City, Fengdu City, Husky.
"I guess."
Zheng Yanqing smiled slightly, stood up and grabbed Duoduo's little hand.
"Duoduo, can you tell me what's going on? Good and dignified, how did you get involved with the white-clothed Maitreya? ”
Duoduo struggled hard, trying to break free from Zheng Yanqing's hands.
But Yan Qing's strength is not small, Duo Duo struggled twice, and did not shake off Yan Qing's hand, so he stopped resisting.
She kept her head down and didn't say a word, as if thinking about something.
And Zheng Yanqing said softly: "Actually, I have been paying attention to the white-clothed Maitreya for a long time, almost four years ago. It's just that I didn't think of it...... Duoduo, can you tell me what's going on? ”
"I ......"
Duoduo was entangled in her heart.
In fact, when she came, she wanted to tell Yanqing the truth.
She also believes that this little brother, a little man, who has been watched by her since childhood, will never betray her. This is a woman's intuition, and the moment Zheng Yanqing hugged her in his arms, she knew that Yanqing had not changed.
Yes, or rather, not much has changed.
A stereotyped surname can never change easily.
What can only change is the understanding of a new era, and it may only change some ideas. But Yan Qing is still the same Yan Qing, he can shoot those thieves who have lost their ability to resist in cold blood, and he can also decide a person's life and death with a spring breeze on his face. But the surname in that share has never changed much, and Duoduo trusts Zheng Yanqing.
But when those words came to his lips, Duoduo didn't dare to say them.
She was so scared that when she said the truth, she might lose that warm embrace forever...... But she had to say!
"Actually, I don't have the surname Xu, nor do I call Xu Duo...... That's just my mother's last name. ”
Zheng Yanqing held Duoduo's little hand, and he could feel the coldness of her palm. So he pulled her to sit down and quietly be a good listener.
"I, I, I'm actually surnamed Yuwen."
Yuwen?
This time, Zheng Yanqing was quite surprised. The surname Yuwen, under the rule of the Great Sui Dynasty, is not unfamiliar. In the past, there was the deceased master craftsman Yu Wenkai, and now there is also the Si Li doctor, Puyang County Gongyu Wenshu.
But Zheng Yanqing believes that Duoduo's surname is different from the surnames of the previous two people.
The Yuwen clan originated in Liaodong and was later in Nandan. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the northern Xianbei tribe had the Yuwen tribe, which claimed to be the descendants of the Yandi Shennong clan. Starting from his ancestor Ge Wusu, he was hereditary as the Xianbei Eastern Lord, that is, one of the leaders of the twelve tribes.
According to the records of the Book of Zhou, the ancestor of the Yuwen clan was the head of Xianbei Jun, a famous Puhui, who obtained the jade seal three buttons for hunting. There is the text: Emperor's Seal. Puhui was ambitious because of this, thinking that God had given him. According to the customs of the Xianbei people, the Son of Heaven called it 'Yu', and the king called it 'Wen'. Therefore, it was named after Yuwen's, and during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he lived in the Central Plains.
Duoduo seemed to be a little more relaxed, and took a deep breath, "My name is Yuwenduo, I am the king of Zhao of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the granddaughter of Yuwenyou." ”
Zheng Yanqing's hand subconsciously clenched the soft flowers.
Maybe the force was a little stronger, and Duoduo Moth frowned, but he didn't make a sound. Her eyes widened and she looked at Zheng Yanqing quietly.
Zheng Yanqing smiled bitterly, "Then I, don't I want to call you the county lord?" ”
"Oh......"
Duoduo stammered, not knowing how to answer.
She thought about many possible reactions to Yanqing, and even thought that Yanqing would turn against her. But I didn't expect Zheng Yanqing to say such a sentence. So much so that all the rhetoric she had prepared became useless!
Why is it that every time I talk to this hateful little man, I always can't make a force?
Imagined all possibilities to seize the lead in this conversation. But if you think about it, it seems that none of them succeeded.
Zheng Yanqing will always use various unexpected reactions to dominate the content of the conversation.
Thinking of this, Duoduo suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. She looked at the little man in front of her in distress, not knowing how to answer.
Zheng Yanqing couldn't help laughing!
This kind of control over speech is also a means that is often used in the process. Duoduo's surprise did make him feel a kind of fear. He had heard that Zhao Wangyu Wenyou was not the prince of the Sui Dynasty, but the king of Zhao of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When Yang Jian usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Wangyu Wenyou tried to assassinate Yang Jian, but he was sentenced to death after the incident...... However, Zheng Yanqing is not very clear about the specific situation, but he knows that there is such a thing.
On the one hand, it was Yang Jian who usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty and deliberately controlled all kinds of topics about the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
On the other hand, everyone is reluctant to talk about it. People who know the inside story don't dare to talk about it, and they don't want to talk about it; People who don't know the inside story can't talk about it. So much so that Zheng Yanqing doesn't know much about Zhao Wangyu Wenyou.
Duoduo tried twice in a row to seize the initiative, but failed.
She no longer used these thoughts, and said softly: "Xiao Xiucai, this matter is a long story...... Back then, did you know that you were raised by Grandpa Zheng? ”
"Oh, grandpa told me that I was abandoned in the wilderness when I was born, and he brought me back to raise Seongjin."
"Grandpa Zheng, he's a good person."
Duoduo said softly: "Actually, when Grandpa Zheng held you, it was also the time when the Yang thief chased and killed us. My father was the youngest son of my grandfather. When my ancestor was killed, my father happened to go out with the head of Kazakhstan, so he survived. Later, my father and Mr. Ha convened the old department of the former family in Luoyang, slowly accumulating strength, trying to take revenge.
Unexpectedly, we were betrayed by people and besieged by He Ruobi and others, a fierce general under the command of Yang Thief.
My mother took me with me, and I was separated from Mr. Kazakh and others in the chaotic battle. At that time, we had no identity and had to find a place of refuge, so we went to Zheng's house. I thought it was over. Unexpectedly, five years ago, Mr. Kazakh sent someone to find us...... I later learned that after Mr. Ha took my younger brother out of the siege, he relied on a fortune left by his father to gain a firm foothold in Xiangzhou, and became a local wealthy businessman under the pseudonym Husky.
However, in private, Mr. Ha never gave up the idea of avenging his father.
But Yang thief ...... The dynasty gradually stabilized, and even after a dispute between the crown princes, it was not affected in any way. In desperation, Mr. Ha had to find another way. At that time, the white-clothed Maitreya began to rise in Xiangzhou, so the governor of Ha spent a lot of money to join the white-clothed Maitreya, and quickly became the leader of the white-clothed Maitreya, secretly accumulating strength. ”
Zheng Yanqing listened quietly and did not interrupt Duoduo's words.
"In that case, if you don't develop well in Xiangzhou, what are you doing in Luoyang?"
"General Manager Harbin believes that although Xiangzhou has a solid foundation, it is remote after all, not a big town, and it is difficult to expand believers.
If you blindly develop in Xiangzhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to become a big climate.
Therefore, the head of Ha discussed with Hu Lidie's protector and came to Luoyang for development. First, Luoyang has a wide range of people, and it is suitable for missionary work; Second, there are many family valves living in Luoyang. At that time, the family and my father had close contacts with many families, and if we could get the support of these families, it would be of great benefit to our anti-Sui cause, so we arrived in Luoyang last year. ”
Duoduo didn't hide anything, but a pair of bright eyes stared at the look on Yan Qing's face.
She hoped to be able to see some of his thoughts from Yan Qing's face.
It's a pity that when it comes to this invisible, even if Duoduo cultivates for another ten years, he may not be able to see through Yanqing's thoughts.
After saying these words, Duoduo's heart suddenly felt relaxed.
She let out a sigh of relief, "The two-headed snake of Shouyang Mountain, whose real name is Guo Xiaoke, is a native of Yangzhai. In the second year of Daye, he joined the white-clothed Maitreya and became the general of Yanshifu. Chief Ha ordered him to gather a crowd in Shouyang Mountain, on the one hand, to collect the displaced people, and on the other hand, in order to conquer Yanshi in one fell swoop and lead Shandong Shima into Luoyang in the future.
It's just that I didn't expect him to ...... Mr. Ha and I didn't get any news beforehand. I arrived in Luoyang after the Qingming Festival, and as soon as I arrived in Luoyang, I heard the news that you had been attacked. Xiao Xiucai, this incident is really a misunderstanding, I came this time to apologize to you. ”
After saying this, Duoduo lowered her head like a deflated ball.
Zheng Yanqing stretched out his hand and gently stroked her soft black hair, "Of course I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, so why do you apologize to me?" And, I guess you must have sneaked out this time, right? ”
"Ah, how do you know?"
Duoduo raised his head and looked at Zheng Yanqing in surprise.
Yan Qing smiled, "If I were a husky, I would never have asked you to come over and tell me these things." ”
"But ......"
"Duoduo, can you trust me?"
Duo Duo paused for a moment, and then nodded vigorously, "Xiao Xiucai, I don't have any friends, even if it is the Maitreya Holy Maiden in the sect, everyone respects me and fears me mostly." I'm so old, if I have friends, it's just you. ”
A gentle smile appeared on Yan Qing's face.
"Immediately stop preaching in Luoyang and go back to Xiangzhou."
"Why?"
"It's no use for you to do this." Yan Qing stood up, looked around, and said softly: "Duoduo, have you read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms I wrote?" ”
Duoduo said, "I've seen it. ”
"Back then, under the command of Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao, hundreds of thousands of believers raised their arms and shouted, almost causing the Han dynasty to collapse. However, he still failed...... This is not just because the Han family has a group of famous generals who can fight habitually, but because of many reasons. To be honest, I hate to use such means to start an incident, it's just a rabble.
Now the Sui family is thriving, and there are a large number of famous generals such as Changsun Sheng, Yu Juluo, Yu Zhongwen, Duan Wensheng, etc., as well as many capable ministers who rule the world. If you want to start things in the way of Taiping Dao at this time, it is simply wishful thinking, and there is absolutely no possibility of success. Maybe you will say that those clans, you have been in the Zheng family, you should know that the first consideration of the children of the clan is the interests of the family. When you can't give them those benefits, they won't mind and will stab them from ......the back."
"But ......"
"Duoduo, listen to me, no.
I've read history, and I don't know much about your methods. I guess that the situation in Luoyang will not be too good, and if you come here, I am afraid that you also have the idea of wanting me to come forward to talk about Xiang.
Look at it, this is just Fang Yanqian, a Henan Yin District action, you can't afford it.
If the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty ordered it, would you still be able to survive the white-clothed Maitreya? ”
Duoduo heard it and couldn't help but be silent!
She did come this time with this in mind.
In Luoyang, Fang Yanqian identified the white-clothed Maitreya as the name of the thief, and ordered those who had joined the religion to surrender to the government within ten days, and they were not to blame for the past. After ten days, the government will fiercely suppress its followers, and once it is determined that the person in white is Maitreya, he will be killed.
Just such a notice made the white-clothed Maitreya disciples in Luoyang panic.
In just three days, countless people surrendered to the government...... According to the confessions of these sects, the government smashed more than ten white-clothed Maitreya's altars in a row. Among them, there are several big tycoons, who were arrested by Fang Yanqian with lightning speed. It is said that these people have been convicted of treason and will be beheaded after the autumn.
If you want to say, if the husky dares to come to Luoyang for development, he must have some means and ways.
But Duoduo found that the doors of the white-clothed Maitreya were all closed at once after being suppressed by the government.
Zheng Yanqing stretched out his hand and gently hugged her delicate body in his arms.
"Duoduo, listen to me, don't do stupid things."
"You can't go and say, can't you?"
"It's useless for anyone to say it, unless it is the emperor of the Sui Dynasty who issued an edict, it is impossible for anyone to stop the cleansing of the white-clothed Maitreya.
Don't blame me, Duoduo, I just lit this fire. But the result of ignition is beyond my control. ”
Duoduo was silent...... She knew that Zheng Yanqing was not a prevaricating word, but a fact.
But she doesn't blame Yan Qing, if she wants to blame, she can only blame the two-headed snake Guo Xiaoke's greed for money, which triggered this purge.
Compared with five years ago, Duoduo is much more stable and mature.
She struggled out of Yan Qing's arms, her face was a little pale, "Xiao Xiucai, there is really no way at all?" ”
"Yes!"
"What's the solution?"
"Leave Luoyang, go back to Hannan, go back to Xiangyang...... From now on, don't be involved with the white-clothed Maitreya again. Be quiet and observe how the situation changes. Other than that, there is no alternative. ”
Zheng Yanqing said what he said from his heart.
It is impossible for him to tell Duoduo: You go back and wait, the Great Sui Dynasty will be finished in a few years!
At most, he can reveal a little bit of tone: Wait, see if there will be changes in the future?
Duoduo clenched his silver teeth and looked at Yan Qing in a daze.
Suddenly, she turned around and left, and Zheng Yanqing shouted behind her, "Duoduo, where are you going?" ”
"Xiao Xiucai, I believe in you!"
A bright smile appeared on Duoduo's face, "You're fine, I'm very happy." I'll go back and tell Mr. Ha and ask him to start preparing to evacuate Luoyang...... Xiao Xiucai, if ...... I mean, if one day I come to you and ask for your help, will you help me? ”
Zheng Yanqing barely thought about it, nodded and said, "I, I am willing!" ”
Duoduo's smile is even brighter.
"Remember, you promised me that you will definitely help me in the future."
"Duoduo, can we meet again?"
"Absolutely, maybe...... It won't take long! ”
Duoduo grinned, stepped into the air, and flew up to the wall like a spirit swallow, "Xiao Xiucai, I'm leaving!" ”
The voice like a silver bell still echoed in Yan Qing's ears, and his figure was gone.
