Chapter 61 The Old Man of Wuyi

Wuyi began in the fifth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and became a county.

In the former Han Dynasty, it was under the rule of the Xindu State, and the Later Han Dynasty was under the rule of the Anping State. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Qi regime abolished the county system of Wuyi County, and it was not restored until the sixth year of the emperor's reign. During the Great Cause period, Emperor Yang of Sui abolished the state as a county, and Wuyi County was under the jurisdiction of Xindu County.

It is a small county town with more than 9,700 households and a population of less than 40,000.

The East and West Jin Dynasty, the confrontation between the North and the South, Wuyi County has been shrouded in beacon smoke, causing many fields to be barren. Although since the opening of the emperor, Yang Jian has practiced the rule of the emperor and greatly encouraged the reclamation of wasteland. However, due to the small population, Wuyi County has always been in a backward state.

Since the great cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Yongji Canal.

Most of the requisitioned people are also from Hebei. As a result, the population of Wuyi County is even more sparse, with more than 9,700 registered households, but the actual population is less than 8,000 households. In the past seven years, the Hebei region has been plagued by bandits and bandits. Many people have been forced to abandon their homes and leave their homes. As a result, Wuyi County has become even more dilapidated.

No matter how broken it is, when Zheng Yanqing and his party arrive, the Wuyi County Commander will also be warmly welcomed.

After all, Pei Xingyan is holding a tiger Benlang, and the official position of Qianniuwei is by no means a county order of a broken small county that can be neglected. Originally, he was going to give up the government office, but Pei Xingyan resolutely refused, and the county order had to follow Pei Xingyan's Xue Wanche's wishes and arrange to rest at the post station.

Anyway, Zheng Yanqing and the others didn't plan to stay in Wuyi for too long.

That night, the Wuyi County Order held a banquet in the county government, but Zheng Yanqing did not participate. First, I was still a little tired, and secondly, I wanted to calm down.

So, Pei Xingyan and Xue Wanche went to the banquet, and Zheng Yanqing, Xie Ke and Zheng Hongyi entered the post station directly.

The post officer of the post station had already received the news and came out with three post guards to greet him. Yanqing did not get out of the car, and drove directly into the post house from the majestic sea and Kan Leng. Zheng Yanqing brought back more than 400 people from Goguryeo. However, most of the soldiers were left in Tongding Town by Wei Wensheng. These soldiers, although they were defeated in the remnants, escaped death, and their understanding of Goguryeo was far from being comparable to others.

In the end, those who were willing to stay and follow Zheng Yanqing were accompanied by eighteen Yuan Conghuwei, a total of twenty-four people.

All the cavalry equipment escorted Zheng Yanqing's carriage into the post house. Zheng Hongyi came forward to negotiate with the post officer, and Zheng Yanqing got out of the car directly and walked into the guest room.

The rooms are small in size but very clean.

Sitting in this comfortable room again, Zheng Yanqing gave birth to a kind of reincarnation...... No, it's the wonderful emotion of the third world. Now that I think about it, during the ten months of Goguryeo, it was as if I had a strange dream. In his previous life, this was by no means something he could have imagined.

The oil lamp was shining, and Yan Qing sat next to the bookcase, looking down at his hands.

I'm kind of bloody too!

He suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head slightly, and let out a cloudy breath. In the past ten months, the people who died at his hands directly and indirectly added up to tens of thousands. Some deserve to die, some have to be killed, and some ...... It was he who took the initiative to kill.

Like, Kindman?

I don't know if the damn Queen Seondeok is gone, will there be a nation of Goryeo sticks?

Zheng Yanqing suddenly laughed......

"Yanqing, what are you laughing at?"

When Zheng Hongyi walked into the guest room, he happened to see Zheng Yanqing smiling. He stepped forward and asked with a smile as he sat down next to him.

"Where's Lao Xie?"

"I've gone to sleep."

Zheng Hongyi said: "Brother Xie, these words are also very hard. Especially during the time you are unconscious, he can barely sleep at night.

In fact, everyone is not resting well, and they are worried that you will have an accident. Well, now you're finally awake...... As soon as Brother Xie entered the house, he fell asleep. He also explained that there was no need to wake him up to eat. Wake him up again tomorrow morning when he leaves. Shen Guang went into the city to grab medicine, and Da Heizi and Ah Ling were still outside. I told them to rest, but they refused to do it, saying that they would be outside for a while. ”

In the words, there is a sense of envy.

Zheng Yanqing knew that Zheng Hongyi had been in black and white for a long time.

That's normal, too...... Presumably, anyone who sees such a fierce general brother as the majestic sea Kan Ling will be envious.

Zheng Yanqing smiled, "These two fools." ”

He said so, but there was a bit of pride in his tone.

Such a fierce general, but it is my man. Counting Shen Guang, the three servants under his command are all good players, how can he not be proud?

"By the way, when I was talking to the post officer just now, I always felt that the post officer was a little familiar." As if he remembered something, Zheng Hongyi changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "The post officer has been looking at your carriage, and between words, he also asked about your origin...... Yanqing, have you been here? Otherwise, why would the postman inquire about you? Listening to his tone, it seems to have guessed your identity. ”

"I've never been to Wuyi.

If I hadn't been here today, I wouldn't have known there was such a county. However, this matter is strange, and when Shen Guang comes back in a while, I will ask him to pay more attention. ”

As he was talking, suddenly Kan Ling shouted from outside the door: "What kind of person, what are you going to do sneakily?" ”

"I'm the postmaster here, don't get me wrong...... Dare to ask, the people in the house, but Xingyang Zheng Yong'e, Zheng Gongzi? ”

Hey, I'm coming to the door!

Zheng Yanqing glanced at Zheng Hongyi in surprise, stood up, pushed the door and walked out of the guest room.

"Ah Ling, Hugh is rude."

Zheng Yanqing arched his hand, "It's Zheng Yanqing below, dare to ask Your Excellency...... Hey, you're not Huang Wenqing Huang County Commander, why are you here? ”

Under the eaves of the guest house, two bright red lanterns were hung, swaying in the wind.

With the light, Zheng Yanqing recognized at a glance that the man in a plain black robe under the porch was Huang Wenqing, the county magistrate of Ye County, Donglai County. I think that at the beginning, when Zheng Yanqing had not yet gone to Goguryeo, he had been stationed in Ye County for a period of time, and he also had some contacts with Huang Wenqing. At that time, Huang Wenqing also borrowed some grain from him to appease the displaced people in Ye County. Speaking of which, Zheng Yanqing's ability to accept Kan Ling is also related to Huang Wenqing. So he has an impression of this county order who is not too talented, but is extremely diligent and loves the people.

It's just that Zheng Yanqing can't understand why Huang Wenqing didn't stay in Ye County, so he came to be a post officer.

One is an official and the other is an official, and Zheng Yanqing can still distinguish the difference between the two. couldn't help frowning slightly.

Huang Wenqing smiled, "Sure enough, it's Zheng Gongzi." When you came in just now, I saw that the majestic man was a little familiar. So I took the liberty to ask, but I didn't expect it...... Zheng Gongzi, don't come to Ye County, is it okay? ”

Zheng Yanqing hurriedly turned sideways, and at the same time said to Kan Ling: "Ah Ling, don't you recognize the Huang County Order?" ”

Without waiting for Kan Ling to answer, Xiong Kuohai scratched his head and said with a smile: "It looks familiar, but as soon as he changed his clothes, I didn't recognize it." ”

"You two ......"

Zheng Yanqing said softly: "Go down and rest." If there's something on my side, I'll call you two. ”

Xiong Kuohai said: "Then Ah Ling and I will rest next door, big brother, if you have something, just call us." ”

"Go ahead."

Zheng Yanqing spoke, and let Huang Wenqing into the guest room.

Huang Wenqing didn't come alone, and he was followed by a resolute-looking young man. Look at the young man's age, about twenty or so. Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, straight nose and square mouth. At about eight feet tall, he is not very burly, but he gives people a sturdy and lean feeling. Dressed in black, he holds a long knife. He followed Huang Wenqing into the guest room and stood behind Huang Wenqing very consciously. didn't speak, just looked at Zheng Yanqing curiously with a pair of tiger eyes, pursed his mouth, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Zheng Gongzi, this is my nephew Su Lie.

His father was a local gentry, Cao Suyong, a soldier of Wuyi. This kid is working under his father, and I happened to be here today to do business, so I will bring him with me. Su Lie, this is the goose boy I often mention to you, Banyuanjun, Zheng Yanqing Zheng Gongzi. When he was in Ye County, he helped me a lot. ”

Su Lie?

Not very familiar......

But looking at his style, it is not bad.

Standing behind Huang Wenqing, there was a calm atmosphere. At the same time, there is a faint murderous spirit, and it seems that he is also a ruthless character.

Su Lie stepped forward, "Humble Su Lie, see Zheng Gongzi." ”

"Brother Su, Hugh is polite, please take a seat."

Who knows, this Su Lie did not retreat, his tiger eyes suddenly widened, stared at Zheng Yanqing and said: "Zheng Gongzi, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I love the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" you wrote even more. My uncle often mentioned you and said that you were kind and righteous. However, there are rumors that you have defected to the Goguryeo people outside Pyongyang.

I'm just asking you, but is there such a thing? ”

As he spoke, he took a sharp step forward, and asked sharply.

"Dingfang, Hugh is rude!"

Huang Wenqing hurriedly shouted loudly.

Su Lie didn't care, just stared at Zheng Yanqing, and put one hand on the hilt of the knife.

"Bold!"

Before Zheng Yanqing could speak, Zheng Hongyi had already grown up and scolded angrily: "Who is you, who dares to say such rude words? ”

"Hongyi, sit down."

Zheng Yanqing shouted in a deep voice, then scratched his head, and asked with some puzzlement: "Brother Su, I did conquer Goguryeo, and I also killed many people in Goguryeo. It's just that I don't know, where does this 'defection to Goguryeo' begin? After the defeat of my army in Pyongyang, I led my troops across Goguryeo, killing countless people, and was offered a reward of 10,000 gold by the Goguryeo chieftain Gao Yuan, begging me to be headed.

Fifteen days ago, I led my troops out of the Wolf Forest Mountains and forcibly crossed the Yalu River.

On the banks of the Yangshui River, Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo, was captured...... If this is considered a 'defection to Goguryeo', then it should be. ”

"Really?"

When Zheng Yanqing heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, "Brother Su, I'm just a defeated general, what's there to show off about this kind of thing." If you don't believe it, you can let someone go to Liaodong to inquire and see what I Zheng Yanqing just said, is there half a falsehood? ”

Huang Wenqing also stepped forward and grabbed Su Lie's arm, "Dingfang, what are you doing here?"

I told you a long time ago that Zheng Gongzi is a great husband in the world, and he will definitely not do such a thing. There are rumors in the market, in my opinion, there are villains who are troubled, and they can't be true. If Zheng Gongzi really did that thing to join the enemy, how could Pei Qianniu, the tiger benlang, go with him? ”

When Su Lie heard this, he immediately took a step back and knelt on one knee.

"It's not that Su Lie is rude, it's really Su Lie's love for the son's article.

Actually, I don't believe that Gongzi will do that thing to join the enemy, but the rumors in the market are very powerful, and Su Lie had no choice but to ask Gongzi for confirmation. If there is something offended, Su Lie is willing to be punished by the son, and please don't blame the son. ”

Zheng Yanqing waved his hand again and again, got up and helped Su Lie up.

"Brother Su is an upright and strong man, if he is offended, he will not mention it again."

After speaking, he looked at Zheng Hongyi in surprise, "Hongyi, Yuanqing also mentioned this matter. Where do I start talking about defecting to the enemy? ”
