Before he finished speaking, Qian Ning, who was supposed to ask Xu Xun for an explanation after everyone left, immediately changed his complexion. He didn't care what was going on with Wu Dahai's bald head and bald eyebrows, so he hurriedly lifted his robe and wanted to kneel: "My lord, this matter is a lowly situation......

"Get up! People haven't finished talking yet, what are you anxious about! Xu Xun interrupted Qian Ning's words, and then looked at Wu Dahai thoughtfully, "Wu Dahai, go on, what's the matter with the old man and the woman?" ”

Wu Dahai didn't seem to see Qian Ning's murderous gaze like a knife, so he only hung his head and said to himself: "Lord Huiyu, the old man said that because he was proficient in Mongolian, he was hired by Qian Qianhu to act as a guide. This time, he wanted to ask if he was a meritorious person as a citizen......"

Hearing that Wu Dahai didn't say anything about women, Qian Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was busy gritting his teeth and saying: "This old thing, I didn't know how many forbidden and criminal deeds I had done before, and I dared to ask for rewards so blatantly......"

"In the past, it was forbidden in the past, but this time the great achievement is not only worth it, but it is not too much to come to ask for a reward." Xu Xun had already learned from Scarface that Qian Ning had coerced and lured him before, so he said that he had moved the old firewood to act as a guide, but at this time, he didn't wear it, and ordered Wu Dahai directly, "You go and tell him that the imperial court has given a reward for killing thieves, and his merit can be compared to the example of the fifth level of beheading in the township of Jiji Township, if you want to give your children and grandchildren a favor, at least one will be appeased, in addition, in addition to the reward that Qian Ning allowed him before, according to the calculation of the fifth level of beheading, he will be rewarded with another hundred and fifty taels of silver at that time." ”

"Yes." Wu Dahai agreed, but he didn't move his steps, "And the woman brought by the old man......"

Qian Ning never expected that Wu Dahai would go around and talk about the woman's head, and he was angry and anxious for a while. But before he could think of any tricks to interrupt again, he saw Xu Xun looking at him, and there was a warning in his eyes. Although he hated this Wu Dahai for not opening any pot in his heart, he was afraid that he would really anger Xu Xun, so he had to swallow his anger.

The woman said that she didn't know that Qian Qianhu was a Ming military attache who infiltrated Shacheng, so she blamed the good people in a panic, saying that she wanted to thank Qian Qianhu for his kindness. She also said that she was originally the daughter of a good family, and she was unwilling to be defiled by that Agoura, so she originally hit a knife to seek death, but it was Qian Qianhu's knife that deliberately cut off and saved her life and preserved her innocence. It's just that she was kidnapped by the captives this time, even if she can return to her hometown safely, no one will believe that she is still innocent, she doesn't want to go home and doesn't dare to go home, so she wants to ask the adults to call the shots and give her a nunnery. ”

Qian Ning originally thought that the woman was here to complain to Xu Xun, but when she heard that she was going to thank herself, her face was a little unbearable. After all, he was in a hurry at that time, not only did he dislocate someone's arm, but the next punch was not light, and he forgot that it was a woman after all. However, when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help it all of a sudden, and blurted out: "My lord, that Agoura didn't touch her before, and I can testify to this......"

Xu Xun pondered while listening, and when he heard Qian Ningqi suddenly say such a sentence, he couldn't help but straighten his face and said, "Testify? What can you do? Nowadays, the world's mouths are all about starving to death, and it is natural for her to have such concerns, you are a big man, do you accompany her home to explain to her family? Someone else's saying that you are her is enough to make you speechless! ”

Seeing that Qian Ning choked all of a sudden, Xu Xun carefully inquired about the situation last night, and then ordered Wu Dahai to go out and bring the old firewood and the woman in. After a while, he saw an old man and a young man enter the tent.

Although the old man said that he was so old that the wrinkles on his face could be folded, his waist was straight, and his spirit was also strong, but his eyes were always a little slippery. And the woman should have just washed her face and combed her hair, and her hair was loosely curled with green silk, although she was only plain face to the sky, but her eyes were looking forward to the waves, and she was used to seeing the big and rough in the barracks, and at first glance it looked a little amazing. Xu Xun glanced at it a few more times, and found that Qian Ning on the side was stunned, so he coughed.

Hearing this cough, Qian Ning reacted, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, but he regretted that he didn't see it clearly yesterday and night, and he didn't find out that this was a big beauty. Even so, when he saw the woman bowing down and kowtowing, he still felt a little itchy in his heart.

"Qian Ning has already said before, since you have not lost your temper, why should you be ashamed to go home, you have to ask for something. Buddhism is not necessarily a quiet place, some of them are not even less than the world, and what if those nuns can't accommodate you? You had the courage to die last night, and you should live well in the future. Looking at your age, have you ever been married? ”

"My lord Mingjian, the people's daughter He Cailian, has twice allowed people, and her fiancé died of sudden illness, and she was already regarded as an ominous person in the countryside, and now if she goes back like this, she can't tell even ten mouths, but I'm afraid that the patriarch will force me to commit suicide to show my innocence." The woman kowtowed again as she spoke, then turned around and kowtowed to Qian Ning three times in a row, "Engong is very gracious, the people's daughter has nothing else to repay, so she can only kowtow to these heads and thank you, may Engong Qingyun go straight to the full house of children and grandchildren!" ”

Qian Ning was very moved to see her posture, at this time, he saw her confessing that she was sad and graceful, and then kowtowed to himself and thanked her, and then thought about the yellow-faced mother-in-law at home who would throw her face and lose her temper at every turn, he finally couldn't help it, and immediately stepped forward to help the person up, and then turned around and knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Xun, and let go for a while: "My lord, after saving her from my humble duty last night, because of the urgency of the matter, I once untied her shirt and wrapped her wounds." Men and women do not kiss, although the lowly position is not intentional, but after all, it is incompatible with the etiquette and law. Can you be a big matchmaker, willing to go to her house to give a bride price to welcome her, please be an adult! ”

When Xu Xun asked Qian Ning from Jinyiwei in the past, he once asked the population of his family and knew that he still had a wife and a son at home. Therefore, at this moment, Qian Ning used to welcome instead of marrying, naturally he was taking a concubine instead of marrying a wife - even if the Ming system was that the official eunuch family had no children over forty years old could only take a concubine, but there were groups of concubines in the officialdom, but on the contrary, monogamy was very rare - Seeing that He Cailian heard Qian Ning's words and suddenly raised her head, her face was first surprised that she couldn't hide at all, and then she lowered her head and said something unworthy of humility, he knew that this woman must be willing in her heart, and sighed after thinking about it.

"Well, if you all go back safely, you can go to her house and pay the bride price. Let's talk about being a matchmaker, you have made great achievements this time, and promotion rewards are indispensable, this kind of thing is too ostentatious, be careful to go back to the imperial history to participate in your behavior! Wu Dahai, take her down first. ”

Xu Xun admired He Cailian's fortitude a little, and even remembered the little girl who was still in the capital, knowing that although she used some scheming, it was more of a last resort. Today's world is very harsh on women, who is frustrated because of two marriages, and this time they are taken away by captives, and they are forced to survive in death, they can only do this.

He originally intended to choose a non-married soldier among the avant-garde sergeants of the government army to marry this He Cailian, but now it seems that he took it for granted. Qian Ning is bold and ambitious, but his true skills should not be underestimated, and he will be rewarded after returning to Beijing for his great achievements, even if He Cailian is a concubine, he is much more beautiful than marrying an ordinary military household or even a small officer who is difficult to get ahead.

Although Xu Xun didn't mention the matter of being a matchmaker for the time being, that admonition was kind, and Qian Ning was very happy at the moment that no one took love from him, so there would be no mustard. As soon as the others left, he boasted to Xu Xun about the old firewood, as if he had forgotten how he had called people to drink before. And Xu Xun motioned for Lao Chai Huo to get up, asked him a few words about the terrain outside his mouth, and then suddenly changed his words and said, "How are your equestrians?" ”

"Adults are Mingjian, the small ones used to be outside the mouth, and the equestrian ones are eating guys, so they are naturally extremely skilled." The old firewood only woke up to the fact that he had come out of his mouth, but he didn't regret taking the medicine, so he could only stubbornly say, "If the adults have anything to call, even if they are ordered, the little ones must do their best." ”

"In this case, five hundred people will be assigned to escort the prisoners of war and escort the soldiers and civilians of Xuanfu back, and the rest will be of other use to General Shen and me. Since you have been running for many years and are familiar with the terrain around here, follow me. ”

After saying this, he didn't wait for the old firewood whose face changed greatly to speak, and said lightly, "If the previous great achievements are enough for your children and grandchildren to be hereditarily appeased, then if the next thing is done, I will guarantee him a hereditary commander, and then you don't have to risk your life to run away, naturally there are blessings to enjoy." ”

Lao Chai Huo glanced at Qian Ning, and saw that his hand was already on the handle of the knife, so he couldn't help but shudder again, and didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so he hurriedly agreed. When Xu Xun called someone in, and saw the two personal soldiers taking him out as if they were guarded, he couldn't help but glance at Qian Ning's face again, but found that the person who had just taken a big risk was as if he was fine.

Qian Ning was extremely clever, and when the old firewood was gone, he immediately came to Xu Xun's side and asked with a smile on his face: "My lord, let's really not go back to Zhangjiakou Fort next, and we still have to fight?" ”

Since he was able to take people over from Li Yifeng, Xu Xun knew that this Qian Ning was a double-edged sword, and if used well, it was an unstoppable fast knife, and if it was not used well, it would be easy to cut himself. At this moment, seeing his eager appearance, he couldn't help but quip: "Although your previous trip can be regarded as a crisis, it is nothing compared to the next one." What's the matter, you have enough credit, and Mei Jiaoniang also has it, do you want me to send you back? ”

"Look at what the adults said, how can there be too much credit!" Hearing that there was really going to be another battle, Qian Ning was in high spirits, "My lord, don't say anything about rushing back from your humble position, all in all, where you go, where will your humble post go!" ”
