Zheng Hongyi was very embarrassed and didn't know how to explain this matter to Zheng Yanqing.

In fact, when he first heard the statement 'Zheng Yanqing defected to the enemy', he was furious. Just imagine, Zheng Yanqing defected to the enemy, so did he, the person who followed Zheng Yanqing from beginning to end, also 'defect to the enemy'? Half a year, birth and death. After many tragic battles, he has faced countless hardships and obstacles. came back desperately, only to hear the news that he had 'surrendered to the enemy'...... Don't say that older people will be angry about it, let alone young and vigorous people like Zheng Hongyi, how can they endure this breath?

However, having experienced so many things in Goguryeo, Zheng Hongyi is no longer the fledgling kid he was at the beginning. So he quickly calmed down and asked Pei Xingyan and Xue Wanche carefully. Zheng Hongyi was stunned for a moment...... It turned out that this 'defection to the enemy' actually came from the mouth of his own people. That Zheng Xing not only took Zheng Yanqing's credit for himself, but also framed Zheng Yanqing for 'defecting to the enemy'. Zheng Hongyi is angry, but he also knows that the investigation of this matter has a huge impact on the Zheng family.

If you don't get it right, this ancient family that has been inherited for hundreds of years may collapse because of this.

But this matter is impossible to hide from Zheng Yanqing.

Because Zheng Yanqing will know about this sooner or later, and most importantly, Zheng Hongyi knows Zheng Yanqing's feelings for Zheng Shi'an. You just targeted Zheng Yanqing, and implicated Zheng Shi'an. If Zheng Yanqing knew the truth, wouldn't he have to be furious?

Zheng Hongyi couldn't be clearer about Zheng Yanqing's methods.

If he initiates a ruthless attack, hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people will almost be played by him, and his methods will be ruthless and unequal.

Zheng Yanqing can be ruthless and let a delicate little beauty die.

He could face the gray-haired old mother of Eji Wende and cut off the head without hesitation. From south to north, from east to west, Zheng Yanqing is famous for killing. When the people of Goguryeo hear his name now, it has the effect of stopping crying at night. The Zheng family, can they withstand his toss?

Zheng Hongyi was still thinking about how to tell this matter in a way that would not anger Zheng Yanqing in the most unlikely way.

But before he could come up with a proper solution, Su Lie told Zheng Yanqing.

"This ......"

Facing Zheng Yanqing's scorching gaze, Zheng Hongyi couldn't help but be shocked. He glared at Su Lie fiercely, then forced a laugh and explained the truth of the matter to Zheng Yanqing.

"Yanqing, don't get angry.

General Xue said that there are many people who intercede for you. Aunt Shuying also took the Pei family's retainers and rushed to Gongxian to sit in the town. Grandpa Shi'an was a little frightened at most, and it would never be a big deal. When I go back, I must ask my father to come forward and make decisions for you......"

Zheng Yanqing's face was as usual, and his expression was also very calm.

Including Huang Wenqing, no one can see Zheng Yanqing's inner thoughts.

"This is my business, why do I need Uncle Zheng to come forward?"

He suddenly spoke, interrupted Zheng Hongyi's words, and said indifferently: "Hongyi, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I have my own opinions." ”

The more calm Zheng Yanqing was, the more frightened Zheng Hongyi became.

The atmosphere in the room became very oppressive. Even Su Lie, who has always been very bold, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and close his mouth at this moment.

Is this the bearing of the goose boy?

The lights flickered, and from Su Lie's point of view, only half of Zheng Yanqing's face could be seen.

The thin cheeks are as angular as a knife and an axe. A faint, imperceptible anger emanated from him, only making Su Lie throb.

Zheng Yanqing smiled slightly, "Huang County Ling, you are not in Ye County, why are you here?" ”

He didn't seem to want to mention the matter of 'defecting to the enemy' anymore, and pushed the topic aside. But Zheng Hongyi now hopes that Zheng Yanqing will be furious and angry. If that's the case, Zheng Hongyi can still persuade a few words...... But the more Zheng Yanqing didn't mention it, the less steady Zheng Hongyi felt in his heart. It seems that Yan Qing is really annoyed this time! I really can't do it, so I will write a letter to my family in a while and ask my father to prepare early.

Huang Wenqing hurriedly said: "Gongzi doesn't know, after you left Ye County, it happened to be a great drought in the plains. Last year, many displaced people were resettled in Ye County, so much so that more displaced people moved to Ye County. In April, Uncle A's army attacked Ye County. I rushed into battle, but after all, I was no match for my uncle's army, so I suffered heavy casualties. Later, the navy returned to the division and requisitioned grain and grass, but Yexian County could not get any grain. ”

"So ......"

Huang Wenqing smiled and nodded, "Originally, if you really want to collect, it's not that you can't collect it." The people of Keye County are already poor, and with the continuous collection last year, they are already overwhelmed. I really couldn't bear to see the people suffer, so I refused to collect it, and was arrested by the county government, and was severely punished with 30 sticks, and I went to the county magistrate. I saw that Ye County was not peaceful, so I returned to my hometown with my family. It just so happened that I was with the Wuyi County Order, and the division was out of the door. Wang Xian ordered me to help him, and I didn't want to take care of those chores anymore, so the surname Suo stayed in this post house and was happy to be quiet. ”

When Zheng Yanqing heard this, his expression was solemn, and he got up and shook Huang Wenqing to the ground.

"Huang County is worried about the people, and it is really a model for officials in the world."

Huang Wenqing couldn't help laughing, and said with some pride: "I don't dare to be a model, I just don't want to be scolded by someone pointing at my backbone." ”

As he spoke, his expression grimacing.

"I have the audacity to ask for a meeting today, but in fact, I have something to ask for."

"It doesn't hurt to say that Huang County Lingdang, if Zheng Yanqing is within his ability, he will never shirk."

Huang Wenqing hurriedly thanked him, and when he sat down, he glanced at Su Lie, hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't hide it from my son, I'm going to ...... Huang has only one sister, who is now deceased. She is also the only son under her knees, and she is extremely concerned. I swore before her spirit that I would take good care of her.

Dingfang, this child, has a straight surname and doesn't know how to be smooth. In this respect, he is quite similar to his father and me.

Now that I am a prisoner, it is difficult for me to help him. His father is also a lump of wood, and the reason why he was able to become a soldier Cao was because he organized the villagers to repel the rogues at the beginning of the year...... There was indeed no one in Wang County's hands, so Su Yong became an official. Su Yong is from a humble background, and Wang Xianling is also a turbid official, so it is difficult to have any future in the future. It's just a lifetime for us people, but I really don't want Dingfang to be like us. He is smart, his skills are not weak, he is skilled in bows and horses, and his martial arts are not bad.

It's just that his surname is not good, and he has no way. Stay here, sooner or later it will be delayed.

Childe, you are a famous disciple, and you are a scholar of Shilin, with a wide door and a wide range of popularity, which is far from being comparable to those of us. This year, Xindu is quite unsettled, and there are many wanderers. My father and I have been discussing it to find a good way out for him. When I was suffering from no way, I didn't want you to come. I just thought, let Dingfang do things with you...... This kid does things, and it's reassuring. ”

On the side, Zheng Hongyi couldn't help but look at Su Lie in surprise and looked at him curiously.

And Su Lie didn't expect Huang Wenqing to say this, so he was anxious, "Uncle......"

"Dingfang, you don't have to talk too much.

I have sent someone to consult your father's opinion just now, and he agrees. If it weren't for the need to patrol the city, he would have come with you. ”

Su Lie scratched his head and closed his mouth.

His surname is Su, and his name is Lie. Dingfang, presumably his expression.

Su Dingfang ...... Zheng Yanqing was suddenly startled, and glanced at Su Lie carefully, "Your name is Su Dingfang?" ”

"Oh, Dingfang is still the table word given to him by Wang County. He has few brave strength, good martial arts, and likes to march and arrange the army the most.

Therefore, Wang Xianling gave him the word 'Dingfang', saying that he hoped that in the future, he could calm the party and benefit the common people. ”

Su Dingfang, that was a famous general since Xu Shiji in the early Tang Dynasty. It's just that he belongs to the late bloomer, and he only emerged during the Zhenguan period. So much so that at the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was not much fame. In terms of merit, Su Dingfang's record is not inferior to Xu Shiji.

In the early years of Zhenguan, he made his first expedition to the Eastern Turks and rose to prominence.

In the first year of Xianqing, that is, in 650 AD, the Tang Dynasty attacked the Western Turks, and Wang Wendu of Cheng Zhijie was dismissed from his official position due to cowardice, and only Su Dingfang was promoted to the chief of the march. In the second year of Xianqing, he attacked the Western Turks again, and made outstanding achievements, and then attacked the Green Ridge and captured the leader of the rebels. In the fifth year of Hyeongyeong, he conquered Baekje and captured the king of Baekje. He has conquered countless battles in his life, made great achievements and is famous.

However, due to the relationship of time, Zheng Yanqing always thought that Su Dingfang was born after Daye, and maybe even in the Wude period.

Unexpectedly, he was already sincere at this time.

Calculated then, when Su Dingfang really rose in history, he was only afraid that he would be almost sixty years old...... Looking at Su Dingfang's gaze, it immediately became different.

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but look at it again, "Brother Su, are you willing to follow me?" ”

Su Lie was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I am willing." Don't hide it, before I heard that you 'defected to the enemy', I always respected you very much. The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" you wrote can be called a treasure book for soldiers. When Yang Gongqing invaded the border before, I used this strategy.

It's just that when you wrote about the defeat of Jiangxia, you never continued to write, but Su Lie was in a hurry! ”

Zheng Yanqing has not published many follow-up chapters in the past two years.

When he was in Emei, he had already written about entering Xichuan, but later because he entered Goguryeo with the army, he never wrote again. However, the articles he wrote in the two years of Emei were basically not sent. So much so that there are many people who ask for follow-up articles in the market.

Yan Qing didn't expect that Su Dingfang was still a fan of his books, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Su Lie is willing to follow his son, but he can't bear to abandon his father and uncle."

"Dingfang, the big husband should be broad-minded and ambitious. Didn't you often tell me before that you hope to conquer the world and create a reputation?

Your father and I are too old to walk...... The hope of this life is placed on you, and I hope you don't hesitate anymore. We are all easy to do, and in Wuyi County, there is nothing to do. After a few years, you have achieved something, and when the time comes, we will look for you again, and we can also ask for a stable life. Since Zheng Gongzi is willing to accept you, you don't have to be half-hearted, you have a bright future in the future, and you can glorify the lintel of the Su family. ”

Su Lie no longer hesitated, "I am sure to live up to the expectations of my father and uncle." ”

Then, he knelt down in front of Yan Qing, "Su Lie is willing to follow Gongzi and ask Gongzi to take him in." ”

Zheng Yanqing's heart blossomed: this is a good helper to send to the door.

"Su Lie, you have to follow me, but you still need to endure the surname. Can you stand it? ”

"Su Lie can bear it."

"In that case, you go home and pack up your salutes, and we'll leave tomorrow morning."

Su Dingfang was overjoyed and nodded in agreement. Huang Wenqing was grateful again, and talked with Zheng Yanqing for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

Zheng Hongyi opened his mouth, wanting to talk to Yan Qing.

He still hopes to probe Zheng Yanqing's tone and persuade him.

But Yanqing didn't give him this opportunity, "Hongyi, let's go around for a while, you have also worked hard, rest early...... I'm tired, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow on the road. ”

He expressed his attitude, and Zheng Hongyi only smiled bitterly in his heart.

This time, Zheng Xing is afraid that it really angered Yanqing. But I don't know, what means will he use to solve this matter?

"Then I'm going to rest."

Zheng Hongyi reluctantly said goodbye and exited the room.

For a person who doesn't want to talk, or who is already out of anger, it's useless to say anything at this time. Although Zheng Hongyi was also angry, he was born in the Zheng family after all, and he was a descendant. This is different from Zheng Yanqing, a child of the Zheng family who is almost like an outsider, his sense of belonging to the family and his sense of honor for the family are far stronger than Zheng Yanqing at some times.

Inform your father of the news first!

Wait until tomorrow on the road, and then find a way to persuade Yan Qing......

****

As soon as Zheng Hongyi went out with his front foot, Zheng Yanqing's face suddenly became gloomy.

He could imagine that the Zheng family must have gotten the news, and it is even possible that they are already using their relationship to try to dredge up.

The Kanto clan is closely related.

Zheng Yuanshou is not an incompetent person, how can he not see the truth?

If he didn't come back, even if Zheng Yuanshou knew the truth, I am afraid that he would treat it as if he didn't know and hide this matter.

But Zheng Yanqing is back!

And with great merit, he even captured the king of Goguryeo, the governor of Joseon Province, Gao Jianwu, and came back!

Even if the Zheng family wanted to suppress this matter, it would be impossible. The greatest possibility is that through their relationship, they will lobby Zheng Yanqing and give the greatest compensation. This matter, as long as Zheng Yanqing does not pursue it, even if Yang Guang wants to pursue it, those relatives and friends of the Zheng family will also stand up to intercede. When the time comes, even if Zheng Yanqing is unwilling in his heart, he can only endure it...... But can he endure it?

Yan Qing is not a very broad-minded person.

It may be a bit too much to say that he will repay him, but at least people don't offend me, and I don't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will offend his surname.

If this matter is only aimed at Yanqing himself, then he may be able to endure it.

can involve Zheng Shi'an, in this world, an old man who is really good to him and raised him to be honest and benevolent, can Zheng Yanqingyan give up? And, this time I endured, so what about next time? In the end, won't anyone be able to ride on my head and be a blessing?

Zheng Yanqing thought of this, and his eyes became a little hideous.

Can't I do the fifteenth year of junior high school?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yanqing suddenly stood up, walked to the wall, and gently tapped the wall with his probing hand.

After a while, the door was opened. Shen Guang walked in, "Lord, what do you command?" ”

"Lao Pei and Lao Xue, are you back?"

"Not ...... yet"

"Wuyi County, when will the city gate be opened?"

"Well, I just asked, and it usually opens at the end of the day. However, if there are special circumstances, it is not impossible to open the city gates. ”

"Shen Guang, I want to go home."

"Huh?"

"I'm not going to Luoyang, I'm going to go straight back to Gongxian. I heard that my grandfather was arrested by the government because of my business, and I want to go back and see it first. ”

"Then I'll arrange it immediately."

"No, don't alarm anyone else about this. All you need to do is inform Okuro and Areng...... Also, the twenty-four tiger guards will go with us, so the others don't need to be alarmed. Also, you go to Huang Wenqing in a while and ask him to prepare a few more horses.

When we leave tomorrow morning, no one will be informed, take Yuho'er's corpse, and let's go back to Gong County. ”

After Shen Guang heard this, he bowed down and answered.

****

Since it is winter, the days are short and the nights are long.

In normal times, it is already dawn. But in winter, when the house is dark, it is still dark. Zheng Hongyi slept until dawn, and then got up to wash. He stretched out in the courtyard, but found that there seemed to be something missing in the courtyard of the inn.

Standing on the porch, he looked around in confusion.

Suddenly, he reacted: when he drove the carriage in yesterday, the vehicle carrying the body of Jade Hoof was parked in the courtyard.

But now, the carriage is gone......

He couldn't help but gasp, and immediately realized something.

hurriedly ran to the door of Zheng Yanqing's room and opened the door, but saw that the room was empty, and there was no trace of Zheng Yanqing. And they opened their rooms in the great sea, and there was no one! Zheng Hongyi's face changed at this moment. Yanqing them, where did they go?

He ran to the stable, and found it equally empty.

The mounts of the twenty-four tiger guards are all gone.

At this time, a post man who was responsible for taking care of the horses came over, Zheng Hongyi hurriedly went up and grabbed the arm of the post man: "Where are the horses in this stable?" ”

The postman replied: "I was taken away by the son in the main room." ”

"When was it taken away?"

"Well, it seems like it's been after the end of the day. The prince took people and drove two carriages and thirty war horses, saying that he had something urgent to go.

The little one also reminded at the time that the city gate would not be open until the end of the day. But the boy said that he had already obtained the exit token, so it didn't matter. The little one saw that the boy was in a hurry, and helped lead the horse out...... By the way, when the boy was leaving, he also asked me to tell a few sons: Don't worry, he will go home first. He also said that you should just go to Luoyang, you don't have to wait for him, he doesn't plan to go. ”

Zheng Hongyi's head buzzed.

Immediately shook off the guard, took three steps and two steps, and rushed to the door of Pei Xingyan Xue Wanche's room.

"Brother Pei, Brother Xue, something is wrong!"

Pei Xingyan drank a lot of wine last night and walked out in a daze.

"Hongyi, early in the morning, what are you bluffing?"

"Yanqing, Yanqing, he is gone......"

"Just go, what's your hurry?" Pei Xingyan didn't take it too seriously, turned his head and prepared to go back to sleep. But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, he looked at Zheng Hongyi, and roared in a lost voice: "Hongyi, what did you just say?" Yan Qing him, gone? ”

"Yes, Yanqing is gone!"

"Where did he go?"

"He, he, he ......" The more anxious Zheng Hongyi was, the more he couldn't speak. After a long time, he laboriously said: "He went back to Gongxian County, and said that he would not go to Luoyang." ”

When Pei Xingyan heard this, he was also anxious.

Of course, he knew about the 'defection to the enemy'. And in the chat with Xie Ke, I also learned that Zheng Xing took the credit. To be honest, he looked down on Zheng Xing. But...... Before General Xue left, he repeatedly told him not to go too fast. At that time, Pei Xingyan didn't understand the mystery of this. Later, I realized that General Xue was trying to buy time for the Zheng family, or Zheng Yuanshou.

When Zheng Yanqing arrived in Luoyang, the Zheng family must have dredged up the relationship.

Although Pei Xingyan was reluctant, he just let Zheng Xing go. But he also knew that the relationship between this world did not allow him to intervene.

He didn't slow down either, thinking that anyway, if I brought Yanqing to Luoyang, whether I was ready or not was a matter for the Zheng family.

But now......

Xue Wanche also woke up, walked over and asked the reason for the incident, and couldn't help frowning.

"Yanqing doesn't go to Luoyang? That's what Your Majesty meant, listen to my father, Your Majesty is also preparing a grand ceremony for him in Luoyang. He now says that if he doesn't go, he won't go, what is it? ”

"What?"

Xie Ke walked over and sneered, "It's a slap in the face." ”

"Hit in whom's face?"

Xue Wanche still couldn't react to the complicated relationship.

Zheng Hongyi smiled bitterly, "Who else can you hit in the face, hit the Zheng family's face?" By the way, even His Majesty's face will be beaten together. ”

Xue Wanche blurted out: "Then what should I do?" ”

"What should I do?" Xie Ke sneered: "Now Luoyang is probably known all over the city, Yanqing's actions in Goguryeo. If he doesn't go, it shows that he is dissatisfied and unwilling to compromise. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go, he has to endure this kind of thing, wouldn't it be shameless?

Since Yanqing doesn't go to Luoyang, then I won't go either...... Anyway, this time in Goguryeo, it's mainly Yanqing, and I'm just an assistant. When we set off in a moment, let's go our separate ways. I've been away from home for more than a year, and my father must have been in a hurry......"

"Lao Xie, what are you doing with the fun?"

Pei Xingyan was also anxious, "If Yanqing doesn't go, you won't go either, so what should I do?" ”

"Let Hongyi go, besides, aren't there still wheat for them? Presumably, these things, they go is enough to make it clear, if Yan Qing doesn't go, what does it mean for me to go to Youyou? Is it possible for me to follow the example of some people and take credit for myself? ”

What Xie Ke said was categorical, and no matter how Zheng Hongyi persuaded him, he was unwilling to change his mind.

watched Xie Ke go back to the room to pack his luggage, carry a bow and a gun, lead the defeat from the stable, and leave. Zheng Hongyi's head was buzzing, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: Yanqing, are you trying to make a big deal and make it unstoppable?

"So what do we do now?" Xue Wanche couldn't help but ask.

"What to do? Let's leave immediately, let's return to Luoyang immediately...... This time, Yan Qing definitely wants to make this matter known to the world.

Hongyi, you'd better contact your father immediately, if it's really out of control, then it's troublesome...... It's really big. ”

Zheng Hongyi let out a long sigh: Actually, from the moment General Hu'er listened to Zheng Xing's slander, this matter has already made a big fuss!

(To be continued)
