Chapter 20: Too Much Deception
The so-called Feng Family Hook Scythe is actually not as scary as the legend says.
A spear of all colors, and then a sharp horizontal blade at the head of the spear. At first glance, it looks a bit like the Changge used by people in ancient times.
This weapon may be somewhat useful to the cavalry, but when it encounters the infantry, it is impossible to resist at all.
However, back then, Mrs. Xian relied on such a type of military to threaten Lingnan, so that the local indigenous slang barbarians did not dare to have second thoughts.
Zheng Yanqing has seen the equipment of the students, and to be honest, it is shabby.
Then it is not surprising that the Feng family's hook and sickle soldiers were able to defeat the local natives!
The son sent by the Feng family this time is named Feng Zhiyu, eighteen years old. It's not too tall, about 170 centimeters, but it's sturdy and sturdy. Dressed in a black armor, with a chicket feather inserted upside down, he walked in the crowd, which was very eye-catching. Inverted chicken feathers are the aristocratic customs of Lingnan. Just like the children of the Central Plains family, the surname of the sachet is almost the same, mainly decorative.
Regarding other people's customs and habits, Yan Qing naturally does not have any opinions.
However, Zheng Hongyi felt like laughing, and couldn't help whispering in Yan Qing's ear: "Look at that guy, with a chicken feather, like a big rooster alive, it's ridiculous." ”
His voice wasn't very loud, but Feng Zhiyu's ears were very powerful.
Suddenly reined in the war horse, turned his head and looked at Zheng Yanqing and the two viciously. Yan Qing hurriedly covered Zheng Hongyi's mouth and smiled apologetically.
Feng Zhiying snorted and turned his horse away.
"Hongyi, you lost some of your temper just now...... Lingnan people are good to represent the young chicken feather, which is said to be the feather of the mythical beast Phoenix, worn on the body, and has the effect of avoiding misfortune and praying for blessings. You laughed at others just now, if you don't get it, you will form a bond with their old Feng family. ”
Back at the residence, Yanqing couldn't help but blame Zheng Hongyi.
Zheng Hongyi said with some embarrassment: "I know the customs of these Lingnan barbarians? But I thought it was funny, so I couldn't help but laugh. ”
Zheng Yanqing also knew that Hongyi's words were not malicious.
Speaking of which, Zheng Hongyi should be regarded as an outstanding one among the three generations of the Zheng family.
Whether in terms of literary talent or martial arts, although it cannot be ranked first, it can be outstanding. The most rare thing is that Zheng Hongyi has a little less of the gentleness of the children of the family. It's not that all the children of the family are bad guys, but there are indeed some scum mixed in.
This is the result of many aspects, in this society where family background determines everything, born in a famous family, he can struggle for 20 years less than ordinary people. Zheng Hongyi has been in Xingyang for four or five years, but it has never been reported that he has bullied men and women. Receiving people and things, he can also be polite, neither rude, nor discrediting the face of the Zheng family. is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is quite good.
But even so, he was born in a family and is the future heir of An Yuantang.
Whether it is Zheng Renji, Mrs. Cui, or even Yan Shigu, they are very fond of Zheng Hongyi. This also makes him a lot less resourceful, and often when he speaks, he does not consider the feelings of others. Zheng Yanqing is also helpless about this.
Yan Qingzheng said: "Hongyi, you remember, the people in this world are strange and difficult to explain with common sense.
It may seem like an inconsequential sentence to you, but to others, it may mean slander or even insult. Uncle Zheng has high hopes for you, and when you take charge of An Yuantang in the future, you will have to face all kinds of people, and you need to be more careful when you speak and act, and think twice before leaving. Because, when you are in charge of An Yuantang, maybe your words may bring disaster to the family...... You don't have to think I'm alarmist, in the future, you can slowly understand the mystery. ”
Hongyi gradually grew up, and gradually formed his surname.
At home, sometimes he won't even listen to what Zheng Renji says. But for Yanqing's words, it was like an oracle.
He nodded, "Brother Yanqing, don't worry, I will definitely keep your words in mind." ”
In Zheng Yanqing's view, the relationship between Zheng Hongyi and the Feng family is just a trivial misunderstanding.
So after the incident, he didn't pay attention to it anymore. As time went by, more and more sect groups came to Ye County to assemble and report.
Among them, there are acquaintances who are not full of words, Yangxia Xie's children, Xie Ke Xie Yingdeng.
The Xie family originally didn't plan to wade into the troubled waters this time, but when they heard that the Zheng family had even sent out the treasure of the three generations of the town's house, Zheng Yanqing, the half-edge monarch, they couldn't help but be moved. The Xie family is not as good as it used to be, and for the children of the Xie family, they no longer think about reviving the Xie family's style all the time.
Therefore, there is a family affair between Xie's daughter and Pei Xingyan.
Now seeing that the Zheng family sent Zheng Yanqing, the Xie family feels that they should also take action.
So there was an action with Xie Ke as the mainstay, a total of eleven children of the clan participated, and led three hundred sects to report to Ye County.
Since the Battle of Baique Temple, the relationship between the Xie family and the Zheng family has become much closer.
However, Xie Ke has never seen each other since he and Zheng Yanqing separated. The reunion of the two in Ye County this time is naturally extremely happy.
Xie Ke inquired about Yanqing's experience in the past two years, and when he learned that Yanqing was living in seclusion in the Emei Mountain, he showed envy.
"If I had known that the scenery of Emei was so moving, I should have gone over there to find you."
Yan Qing smiled: "How is Brother Xie in the past two years?" ”
"What else?" Xie Ke scratched his head, "My father has sought a reputation for me, and then I have been practicing martial arts and studying at home for the past two years. Last year, Wang Yuanzhi old fairy came to my house and taught me some health preservation methods...... Oh, I decided on a family affair last year. ”
"Oh?"
Xie Ke is three years older than Zheng Yanqing, at the age of seventeen.
In the family, he has reached the age of marriage. Although the age of marriage for the children of the family is not fixed, for families with few people, the earlier they get married, the better.
Yan Qing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Which family are you marrying?" ”
"Oh, I have a marriage contract with the daughter of the Lu family in Yiyang County, but it's just a marriage! My father said that after I went back this time, I would get married immediately. ”
"Yiyang County Lu Clan?"
Yan Qing nodded again and again.
It was a clan of the Fan Yang Lu family, and it could be regarded as a wealthy family, but it was worthy of Xie Ke's family background. He also knows that the marriages of people like Xie Ke and Zheng Hongyi are basically unable to make their own decisions. Most of them are married to each other as a way to strengthen their ties with each other.
The Xie family can marry the Lu family, which will naturally be of great benefit to their future development.
The more the two of them talked, the happier they became, you said a mystery, and I said a Zen machine. The Xie family is both Confucian and cultivated, and Xie Ke's knowledge is not bad.
At this moment, I suddenly saw Shen Guang hurrying over with a general.
"Childe, something happened...... Prince Hongyi had an argument with the Feng family on the street just now, and was forcibly captured by the Feng family and returned to their camp. ”
Yan Qing was stunned, "You mean, Hongyi was arrested by the Feng family?" ”
"Exactly!"
"He is so decent, how could he be arrested by the Feng family?"
That general is Zheng Hongyi's subordinate. At this time, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he looked embarrassed.
He said anxiously: "Prince Hongyi was walking on the street just now, but he didn't want to be stopped by the people of the Feng family...... Those people deliberately made trouble, originally Hongyi Gongzi didn't want to cause trouble, but those people were too rampant. Prince Hongyi couldn't get angry for a while, so he argued with them, and then the two sides clashed...... Originally, their people were similar to us, and a group of platoons of hammers came out of nowhere, rushing up and fighting. We were outnumbered, and Prince Hongyi was captured by them...... The people of the Feng family also said that if the prince had the guts, he would go to them and ask for someone. ”
When Yan Qing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Listening to this tone, the people of the Feng family did not come at Zheng Hongyi, but at him.
However, he had never been in contact with the people of the Feng family before, let alone had a conflict. How did they come to the door?
This time, the Feng family sent a total of 1,000 hook sickle soldiers.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Zheng Yanqing is really not afraid of them.
But the problem is that in this county, there is still a Lingnan platoon hand, and that is the official army.
Half of the sailors who came to protect the children were from Lingnan. And the Feng family is in Lingnan, with the reputation created by Mrs. Xian, it can be described as the king of Lingnan. Therefore, as long as the Feng family raises their arms, it is estimated that at least half of the county's rowers will stand on the side of the Feng family.
This half of the centaurs, but there are four or five thousand people...... Therefore, Feng Zhiyu's hook and sickle soldiers are not terrible, what is terrible is the prestige of the Feng family in Lingnan.
In the small county town, the most powerful person is not Zhou Fashang, nor is he a child of any family, but Feng Zhiyu of Lingnan.
When Xie Ke heard this, he was furious.
"These Lingnan barbarians are also rampant!"
He stood up with a shout, "Yanqing, I'll go and order the soldiers and horses, let's join the soldiers and snatch the son of Hongyi back." ”
"Wait!"
Zheng Yanqing hurriedly stopped.
He groaned for a while, and immediately asked Shen Guang to prepare armor and horses for him, and then said to Xie Ke: "Brother Xie, you go to the governor's mansion immediately and ask the head of the navy Zhou Fashang to come forward." Shen Guang and Dahai and I went to the Feng family's camp to ask for someone...... You, go and pass on my general's order, and order all the sect members to stay in the camp. No one is allowed to go out without my orders, otherwise they will be punished by military discipline. ”
When the family heard this, they were a little worried.
"Childe, there are a lot of people in the Feng family, and these Lingnan barbarians are unreasonable, you only go with three people, will it be dangerous?"
Zheng Yanqing sneered and said: "This is Ye County, under the rule of the dignified Great Sui.
Even if the Feng family has three heads and six arms, it is still the king in Lingnan. If you want to trouble me here, I want to see if Feng Zhiyu has the courage to do so. ”
Shen Guang immediately prepared the armor and horses for Yan Qing.
Yan Qing only took the silver wire steel whip specially made for him with a male sledgehammer, took Shen Guang and Xiong Dahai, and rushed out of the residence on horseback.
The Feng family's camp is located in the northwest corner of Ye County, bordering Laizhou Bay.
As far as Qing's residence is concerned, it is in the southeast corner of Ye County. Zheng Yanqing didn't bother to walk around the city, and crossed the county seat of Ye County on a horseback and went straight to the Feng family's camp. From afar, I saw the Feng family's military camp, which was heavily guarded. Dozens of Lingnan hook and sickle soldiers stood outside the camp gate, holding hook and sickle guns, with a look of vigilance.
"Whoever comes immediately stops the horse and reports his name and surname."
"I'm Zheng Yanqing, the cloud cavalry captain, and immediately tell Feng Zhiyu that I'm coming!"
Dozens of hook and sickle soldiers glanced at each other, and a person who looked like a team stepped forward and shouted: "The eldest prince has an order, I want you to report to the door!" ”
Zheng Yanqing's face suddenly turned blue...
