"Brother Mingjiang!" Li Yongzhong glared at Chen Mingjiang and almost snapped out a pair of eyes. He turned his head abruptly www.biquge.info buried it, laughing again and again, his shoulders shrugged, first silent, and then he couldn't hold it back-"Hahahahahahaha!" Half a day only raised his head while coughing and panting, and glanced at Chen Mingjiang casually, the other party's cold and expressionless face seemed to make him think of the speech of his future wife and brother, and he almost burst out laughing again.

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Yongzhong stopped laughing madly, but at this time, Chen Mingjiang's expression was not as cold and hard as just now. Seeing that he coughed a few times, he also took off the cowhide water bag from his belt and handed it over, and said coldly: "Give." ”

"Thank you." After pulling the plug and pouring a few mouthfuls into his mouth, Li Yongzhong took a breath, looked at the vast mountains, and suddenly became excited, jumped up on the spot and put his hand on the side of his mouth into a horn shape, inhaled sharply, and shouted: "Ah......!" The Ming army and the guards under the mountain looked up in surprise, but they quickly bowed their heads and did things under the urging of the officers and superiors, but they couldn't help whispering to each other, glancing up from time to time.

Sitting down, Li Yongzhong propped up his forehead on his lap, looked at Chen Mingjiang sideways for a while, and said lazily until the other party's face was almost unbearable: "Accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly claim the title of king - Zhu Sheng gave Taizu's grandfather a bag back then, but at that time, there were 100,000 people with armor under Taizu's command, countless fierce generals, and several provinces; But now the younger brother is just a salt merchant, and there are more than 100 guards trained by the water porter under his hands, oh, there are so many dozen well fields, and the miscellaneous family members in the younger brother's family are counted with the stewards in the salt field, but there are also hundreds of people, but only in my Fushun County, there are more than 10,000 households, and there is an order in the yamen, even if the younger brother has a net worth of 10,000 yuan, he has to honestly walk hundreds of miles to escort military rations. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Chen Mingjiang and said with interest: "Brother Mingjiang, where are there not many people like my junior brother?" Is it worth it for you to give me Zhu Sheng's words? ”

Chen Mingjiang turned his gaze on his face and left, grabbed the water bladder and poured himself a few sips, and then said in a muffled voice: "Although I am a martial artist, I have traveled a lot of places over the years. Yes, as Zhong Guan'er said, in the south of the Yangtze River, the slaves and maids, Tian Lianqian and the strangers boast that they are rich, Zhong Guan'er, you are half as worthy. ”

"But I Chen Mingjiang didn't have a pair of eyes in vain. Zhongguan'er trains and uses soldiers, it really doesn't look like it was raised in a salt merchant! I just said that, I didn't mean to find an opportunity to tempt, I was a rough person, I listened to some scripts in the town, and after listening to a lot, I wrote it down. That's not the right sentence, but I think it makes some sense to you. ”

Speaking of this, his face returned to a cold and rational look in Su Rili, "Now I can't look down on a martial artist who is a soldier, Zhongguan'er, you have a good future, Ming Jiang shouldn't have said this, but my father-in-law raised me, but I can't bear his old age, and he has to make a living licking blood with a knife." Chen Mingjiang paused when he said this.

"Zhong Guan'er, you have a good family business, and you will have a beautiful wife and young children to keep in the future, but in this world, where can you be stable? ! Even if you have trained some people, how many times can you withstand the power? How many can you block? Now that my father-in-law is still here, we can all be regarded as having the blessing of his old man, but if one day ...... Zhong Guan'er, you are covered in steel, how many nails can you make? ”

Chen Mingjiang got up from the ground, straightened the armor on his body, tied the water bag back to his belt, looked at Li Yongzhong, and said: "You just said that the world is chaotic, and it is the time for men to be promising, which is really good." I know you have concerns, but Zhong Guan'er, the cone in the bag will not last long. That's all the foolish brother said, it's not early now, the road is far away, you and I should prepare early! After speaking, he hugged his fist at Li Yongzhong, and did not go back to the mountain.

Li Yongzhong's face was as usual, but the hand in the pipa sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.

After dragging on for two hours, the Ming army finally packed up everywhere and prepared it, and put the prisoners in the middle of the team to prevent escape, and after the hundred household officials reported back to Chen Xianda one by one, the thousand households turned over and rode their horses, looked left and right, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

Because he was returning to the camp, all kinds of flags were also played. After winning the battle again, everyone was beaming, and they had a full meal on the first night, and these hundreds of people also looked like a majestic army. The guards walked behind them, and they had to talk about it, although they had a little bit of disdain in private, but it was a serious official and soldier, and it was Zhao Bing, who had always kept the door open, and he was a little more cautious when he spoke.

After all, one by two, you dare to scold and break down, but now the army is mighty, the swords and guns are shining, the armor is distinct, the eight-petal hat and helmet worn by the officer are hunting and moving in the wind, and there is no noise in the team, it is really a solemn scene!

Zhao Bing gently tugged at Liu Xiaoqi's sleeve on the side, and when he saw him turn around, he hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "I see that the official army is also very strong, how can you start a war, it is so useless?" One by one, their hands and feet are stupid, and their brains are not bright? Just a brute force? ”

Liu Xiaoqi glared at him and said angrily: "This long-term road can't even stop your mouth!" Walk honestly! Seeing that Zhao Bing was still unwilling, he had to patiently say to him: "In yesterday's battle, among the officers and soldiers, how many people could dare to rush?" They were just some young soldiers from the battalions. I've heard that there are often pro-soldiers around the generals, and one foot is five or six ordinary soldiers! Food and clothing, all of them are of the highest quality, and they are all raised with real money and silver from the masters! is also the most loyal, but it is idle to fight to the death without retreating! ”

Zhao Bing was speechless: "My mother! I thought that the combat strength of our guard battalion did not dare to say anything about the world, and it was one of the few in the provinces of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, but when I heard Commander Wu say this, I felt that this army was on top, and it really depended on the officers and soldiers. ”

"What's the point of this little fight?" Liu Xiaoqi said in a low voice to Li Yongzhong, who was riding a horse in front, and said, "Zhongguan'er raised us just to protect Xingyan. The world is not good, how many bandits are on the road? Last time, Zhang Laosan's team, didn't they meet bandits? He almost folded into his own house! ”

Li Yongzhong listened to the words behind him, but he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. Chen Mingjiang's words tossed and turned in his mind, refusing to stop, just like pressing a gourd to float the scoop, there was always one head hovering in his mind. Cao Jinliang walked beside him, seeing that the expression on his face was uncertain, and after a while, there was a smell of gnashing his teeth, so he had to call him out loud: "Zhong Guan'er!" He deliberately raised his voice, and added five points to his temper, which really made the ears of others buzz: "Let's take a break at noon!" ”

This sound was like thunder, which scared Li Yongzhong a lot! was so shocked that he almost stepped on the horse, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that it was Cao Jinliang, even if Li Yongzhong thought that he was still a good temperament, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Cao Jinliang! ”

Cao Jinliang clamped the horse's belly, leaned over with a smile, raised his hand meaningfully and said that it was a salute, but he didn't pay for it, he glanced Li Yongzhong up and down, and sighed: "A young man, don't follow those old men all day long, you don't have to live up to your youth." ”

He didn't wait for Li Yongzhong to answer, so he looked down on his own and said: "I see that Zhong Guan'er is still in good spirits in the morning, and Chen Yuezhang's righteous son came to talk to you for a while, and your spirit is getting less and less, presumably the one who said something to the chief master?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Yongzhong frowned, took two quick steps, and said to Cao Jinliang, who was following behind: "Are you like you?" Brother Mingjiang is so dignified, what do you do for me if you can't hear it? He glanced at Cao Jinliang, thought about it and decided to discuss it with him: "Chen Mingjiang came to me just now and told me a message. ”

Li Yongzhong paused, and said with a little hesitation: "You probably don't know, my father-in-law only has a daughter under his knees, and his relatives have long since withered, so he can't find a nephew." Therefore, it seems that the old man wants to give me the worldly position. ”

When he said this, Cao Jinliang's face became solemn. The lazy look on his face disappeared, a pair of thick eyebrows were furrowed at the center of his eyebrows, and he also reasoned Li Yongzhong's words, and then cautiously asked him: "Zhong Guan'er, this joke is not easy to make, Chen Mingjiang said this to you, is it his own thoughts, or is it his own thoughts?" Or did Qianhu tell him? ”

"Chen Mingjiang is cautious, at this time, it is most likely that his father-in-law first penetrated the bottom with him, and he came to talk to me." Li Yongzhong was also puzzled at this festival, "The strange thing in my heart is that he is now his father-in-law's confidant and favorite general, and he joined the army as a young man. In this worldly position, he went to borrow his post to give up people, but it was more justified than asking me to be a salt merchant to inherit it. ”

Cao Jinliang's face was a little complicated, he looked at the Ming army not far in front of him, there was an inexplicable brilliance flashing in his eyes, and he sighed leisurely after a moment: "Zhong Guan'er, you are naturally smart, but after all, in the army, things above people's hearts are not very skilled. I think Chen Mingjiang is very proud, and he also has a story, he is unwilling to take over the Chen family's position, he has his own reasons, since he doesn't even want the world's position, let alone give up people? You are Chen Qianhu's son-in-law, and now the inquest is not as good as before, if Chen Qianhu is a good student, it is really not difficult for you to give you this worldly position. ”

"Now I'd like to ask you, what do you think?" Cao Jinliang asked him, "You are a merchant, even if you are the son-in-law of the Chen family, you can confidently refuse, besides, you don't have a foundation at hand, but when you get to the army, it is inevitable that things will not go well everywhere." You are a junior general who is a halfway monk, and it is more dangerous in this army than above the court, and if you don't do it well, you will lose your life! ”

"In this matter, my old Cao advises you that it is better to talk to Qianhu about the matter of the world's position, and politely refuse."
