Chapter 13 The Change of Qimen (5)
Qi County ordered to return to the county office, and it was already dark. After dinner, Qi County Ling picked up the lamp and began to read. However, today's book seemed to be particularly difficult to read, and after only a while, Qi Xian Ling couldn't read it, put down the book and began to pace back and forth in the room.
When he first arrived in Qimen to take office, everything was not stable, because his family had not yet taken over, in the plan of the Qi County Order, after the matter of Qimen Military Town was over, he would move his wife and concubines over, and this was the day when no one warmed the bed, but it was not easy.
However, Qi County Ling is the head of a county, and even if there is no wife and concubine by his side, it is not difficult to satisfy some things.
There was a knock on the door outside, and then a woman's voice sounded, "Master, don't you open the door yet, it's very cold outside, and the slave family can't stand it anymore." ”
The voice is so charming that any man will not be able to stand it if he listens to it.
Qi Xian Ling raised his eyebrows, stepped to the door in two steps, opened the door with a snort, pulled the people outside the door in, and shouted: "Be careful, you are finally here, I want to die." ”
The beauty in front of him is born with a delicate waist and a small waist, but the front and back are convex but the score is not bad, it is rare that the skin is white and tender, and the facial features are exquisite. In the past few days, he has spent the long night on the "little pear flower" in front of him, and he has long been unable to extricate himself.
But after Xiao Lihua entered the door, she did not meet the Qi County Order as before, but stood there blankly, with an originally pink little face, but it was miserable and white.
Only then did Qi Xianling find out that Xiao Lihua was followed by a person, a man.
The man closed the door, and then said to Qi County Ling with a smile: "Qi County Ling is really interested, and his vision is not bad, but his alertness is too poor." Oh, by the way, Qi County Ling is a scholar, and it is normal not to know dangerous things. ”
This man was slightly taller, slightly thin, dressed in black, and laughed harmlessly, as if he was still a little shy. But he carried a knife on his back, a simple style, but extremely practical military standard horizontal knife.
"You, who are you?" Qi County was shocked, but his hand hadn't let go of Xiao Lihua. Poor little pear blossom, she can't move at the moment, she doesn't move, she is really embarrassed, "This is the person you brought, how can you bring someone here?" ”
"Qi County Ling doesn't need to ask her, she doesn't know me, I just took a ride with her." The man in black still had a smile on his face, as if he would never be angry, but he approached Qi County Order, "As for who I am, Qi County Order doesn't need to know, Qi County Order only needs to listen to me tonight, and it will be fine." ”
He said that there will be nothing wrong with obedience, and the implication is that if you are not obedient, you will be fine.
Qi County Ling finally reacted, and the person who came was not good, so he angrily reprimanded: "Bastard! Do you know what this place is? Dare to trespass on the county office, it's just tired of living, come on! ”
He shouted a few times, but no one paid attention to him.
The man in black sat down at the table, took out a piece of paper full of words and put it on the table, and smiled undiminishedly, "You don't need to call the Qi County Order, no one will pay attention to you if you cut your throat." You can't see that since I dare to swagger in front of you, I can't always be unprepared. ”
Where would Qi County Ling listen to him, and he was about to rush out of the door when he took a step.
But before he could reach the edge of the door, he was grabbed by a hand on the shoulder, and like a chicken, he was lifted up and thrown into the house, and his body slammed against the pillar, making a muffled noise, but before he could scream, he was struck in the stomach and forced his cry back.
Qi Xian Ling curled up on the ground like a shrimp, only to feel that it was difficult to breathe, his face turned purple, and he looked at the man in black squatting in front of him in horror.
"It seems that you are not a smart person, and it is difficult to talk to people who are not smart. But fortunately, you don't know martial arts, you don't know martial arts, and you have to save a lot of trouble. The man in black put the piece of paper in front of Qi County's eyes, "See what is written on it, and then sign it...... Yes, stamped. ”
It took a lot of effort for Qi County Ling to read what was written on the paper, this time, his face turned paler, and his body trembled even more, he roared in a low voice: "Don't think about it, this official will never sign, you are just full of nonsense, this official will never let you succeed!" ”
With that, he reached out and snatched the paper, but halfway through his hand, he was nailed to the ground with a knife. But fortunately, the knife was not unsheathed, so although Qi Xian Ling hurt badly, his hand might still be saved.
"It seems that it is very difficult for you to write something on it, and no wonder it is not easy to get people to admit mistakes." The black cloth said, he was like chatting with someone, "It seems that the lesson I gave you is not enough, in this case, I will cut off one of your ears, if it is not enough, then cut off the nose, it is not enough, chop your hand, anyway, half of your hand is wasted, and in the future, I will kill you with a knife"
"Lest you not believe me, I'll cut off one of your ears and show you. By the way, I'm cutting very slowly, you can slowly experience the taste of the meat being cut, maybe you'll like it. Because a lot of people actually like to be masochistic. ”
The man in black seemed to have a lot of words, as if no one usually spoke to him, but after saying that, his knife had already cut into Qi County's ear, he really didn't lie, no matter how Qi County's order called, threatened, and begged for mercy, his knife didn't stop, and he saw that one-third of the ear had been cut off, and the blood had flowed into his ear hole.
"I'll sign, I'll sign, the strong man stops!" Qi Xian Ling shouted, his throat was pinched by the man in black, so his voice was not loud.
The man in black slowly stopped, as if hesitating to finish the work of cutting off his ears, and finally he sighed, and said with some regret: "Actually, you can slow down and shout stop, then you can see what your ears look like, although it is not good-looking, and you can't fry a dish after cutting, but it is always your own piece of meat." ”
The man in black stood up and threw the paper in front of Qi County's order.
After half a ring, the man in black put away the paper, and said goodbye to the two of them before leaving: "Tonight's cooperation is always very pleasant, Qi County Order, you signed the letter today, and you will definitely rest easy in the future, my guarantee is effective, you should see that I never lie." And you, little pear blossom, you are a beautiful lady, you will have a good home. ”
He seemed to be very happy, and he did not forget to bless others when he left. If it weren't for his enemies, I believe that the two people in front of him would be happy to associate with him, because he was always smiling, and his voice was always so gentle, and he was always very personable.
At the moment when the man in black went out, Xiao Lihua mustered up the courage to run two steps and asked, "You, can you tell me your name?" ”
The man in black really stopped, he looked at the starry night sky, as if thinking, "No one has heard of my name here before, and you won't know who I am." But it doesn't matter, maybe you'll hear about it more often in the future, and maybe we'll be friends then. ”
He smiled, jumped on the courtyard wall and left, leaving a sentence floating in the courtyard, "My name is Meng Ping." ”
In Qimen, the three families of Wang, Zhao and He are well-deserved families, and there will be no doubt where to put these words. But if you want to say which one is ranked fourth below the three families of Wang Zhao He, no one may be able to say for sure. I can't say, the reason is very simple, because under the three clans, there are two clans with similar strength, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
In the eyes of the upper echelons of the empire, Qimen is undoubtedly a small place, and the big clans there are not much different from ants in their eyes, but there are also many people in small places, and in the eyes of these people, the imperial family is too far away, can't be seen or touched, so they don't need to care. But the forces in front of them are different, and he will directly affect their lives. If you do things in this small place, you can't avoid them.
The Liu family, in the place of Qimen, used to be the biggest force, but because there has been no big man in the clan for decades, they were overtaken by the latecomers and squeezed out of the three families of Wang, Zhao and He. But as the former king of Qimen, the Liu family still has strength that cannot be underestimated. This can be seen in their tall and imposing residential complexes.
Liu Zizuo, the current head of the Liu family, is only in his forties, and although the vicissitudes of time have also left traces on his face, they have not yet worn out the sharpness in his eyes, and these shining eyes make him look a lot younger.
Liu Zizuo picked up the tea bowl and pecked lightly, and his eyes fell on the young junior in front of him. This young man is really young, but he is extremely calm, he hasn't spoken for a long time, he is not in a hurry, he obviously does not smile, but he can always make people feel his smile, which makes people feel extraordinarily amiable.
Putting down the tea bowl, Liu Zizuo sighed lightly and said: "The old man already knows all the meaning of joining the army, but it is a big matter, and the old man can't make a choice for a while, and I hope that joining the army will allow the old man some time, and the old man can discuss with the clansmen." ”
Even if the other party was hesitating, the young soldier did not rush to speak, and after Liu Zizuo finished speaking, he paused for a moment before joining the army and said calmly: "Sir's consideration is indeed reasonable, if it is placed on weekdays, the commander of the subordinate and capital will definitely not urge Mr." But at the moment, there is an extraordinary time, and at an extraordinary time, there is naturally an extraordinary law. I dare to ask a question, and I ask Mr. to tell me the truth. ”
"It's okay to join the army." Liu Zizuo said.
"Do you command the envoy to do what the gentleman asks him to do?" Joiner asked. This is quite polite, but when the young soldier asked, he did not hide it at all, but was very frank, which made people feel his sincerity.
Liu Zizuo smiled and said proudly: "Although the Liu family is no longer in its former glory, it can't do some small things, and it won't be able to gain a foothold in Qimen." ”
The white-clothed soldier nodded lightly, and said, "In that case, can the conditions promised by the commander express our sincerity?" ”
Liu Zizuo paused and said, "The sincerity of the commander is naturally not to be doubted. ”
"Okay." Joining the army nodded again, "In the last question, Mr. thinks that the grace of the King of Jin, the power of General Li, the deputy head of the Inner and Outer Han Dynasty, the two together, don't say Qimen, that is, looking at the world, how many people can compare?" ”
Liu Zizuo's face became solemn, with a bit of solemnity, and said sincerely: "I'm afraid there are few people who can compare." ”
This time, he changed to a white-clothed army and laughed, he laughed twice, suddenly stared at Liu Zizuo, and said sharply: "Since Mr. can do this, the benefits are big enough, and the risks are small enough, Mr. still refuses to agree, but I can't think of any reason for this." Could it be that the dignified Liu family has lost its ambition, and Mr. is talented, but has no intention of recovering its glory? ”
As soon as this question came out, this young soldier showed his sharp fangs for the first time today.
Liu Zizuo's eyes widened angrily, and Huo Ran got up.
"Not long after I went down to Qimen, I also heard that under the three clans of Qimen, the Liu family and the Li family are inseparable. I came directly to Liu's house today, looking forward to it, but I never thought that it would be such a result. Joining the army seemed to have lost patience, stood up, and said goodbye to Liu Zizuo, "I want to command the envoys, and I will be powerful in the world in three battles, and today I will lead three thousand elites to guard Qimen, how mighty, there will be no bosom friends in this world." I take the liberty to disturb today, thank you Mr. for your kindness, and I have something important to do next, so I will leave. ”
After saying that, he joined the army and turned around and left. 's crisp and neat appearance, decisiveness and calmness seem to have nothing to do with it, making people forget his previous tepidness.
Liu Zizuo stopped in place, his eyes flickering.
In fact, he was hesitating about something, he knew that the white-clothed soldier had already seen it. Otherwise, he would not have recounted the exploits of the commander of the capital envoy "three battles and Yang Wei the world". Yes, he still has doubts and distrust of the ability of the commander. He didn't dare to let the Liu family be dragged into the water easily.
But a person who killed the enemy's main general, easily recovered the communist city, and recovered Qimen without blood, his talent is not trustworthy, who else is trustworthy in this Qimen?
The most important thing is that even if he Liu Zizuo doesn't trust it, will the Li family also distrust it? If the Li family follows that commander to make things successful, then who is the fourth major clan of Qimen, there will be no doubt in the future. He also became the sinner of the Liu family, the joke of Qimen.
"Slow down!"
When he went out with his front foot in the army, Liu Zizuo had already followed with his back foot, and at this time he no longer saw half of the anger on his face, and said with a smile: "Since the army is coming, why rush to leave." The old man is old, and it is reasonable that his thinking is no longer flexible, so why should he be surprised to join the army? ”
"Sir's words are tormenting the younger generations." Join the Army.
"Please also join the army and take a seat, the dignified Liu family will definitely not disappoint the army." Liu Zizuo said.
"Sir, please."
The two of them sat down again, as if neither side had to say goodbye before, and the other side wanted to be angry.
After a long time, Liu Zizuo, who was full of smiles, sent the white-clothed army out of the gate.
Join the army and bow his hand to Liu Zizuo: "Mr. stay." ”
"It's easy to go to the army." Liu Zizuo returned the salute.
The young soldier opened the folding fan with a "snap", shook it lightly on his chest, and got on his horse and left with the entourage waiting outside.
Liu Zizuo can see clearly, on the folding fan of the white-clothed army, there is an ink painting, and what is painted in the painting is not something else, but a river and mountain.
One side of the river and the mountain.
"Father, who is this person?" Liu Zizuo's son came over to ask him.
Liu Zizuo looked at the distant back and spit out two words in his mouth: "Mo Li." ”
