Chapter 523: Old General Zhan
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the people continued to walk slowly in the light of the stars, and they were less than two hundred steps away from the city gate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw a group of people and horses lined up around the city gate, holding lantern balls and torches in their hands, shining the city gate as if it were day, and even the three big characters of "Wu Ge Town" on the city wall were clearly visible. Although the time for closing the city gate has long passed, the gate is still wide open.
Song Qi saw from a distance that several generals were surrounded by an old general with white hair and silver beard wearing silver helmets and silver armor, waiting respectfully outside the city gate. Zhan Xiaozhao had already sent a fast flying horse to Wuge Town, and reported the situation of Concubine Yan and Song Qi to the old general. Therefore, the old general waited early at the gate of the city.
"General Song, General Zhan, the guard general of Wu Gezhen, will personally go out of the city to greet you!" Zhan Xiaozhao raised his hand and pointed to the city gate, looked at Song Qi and Concubine Yan with a smile, and said solemnly.
"Greet us? You General Liang are too polite, aren't you? Song Qi glanced at Concubine Yan and said in surprise.
"Yes, didn't I say it, our Liang people are very hospitable!" Concubine Yan smiled and said coquettishly.
"Is it really to greet us? So grand! Isn't that a little too hospitable? Fu Ling looked at the huge pomp at the gate of the city and said with some disbelief.
Lonnie lowered her eyelashes, didn't say a word, her face was sad, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Because it was getting dark, no one paid attention to her.
"By the way, I want to mention to you, General Zhan is my father." Zhan Xiaozhao glanced at Concubine Yan and Song Qi, and said in a procrastinating tone.
"Oh." Concubine Yan's eyebrows moved and she nodded slightly.
"I see!" Song Qi suddenly realized, raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Zhao, and pointed out sharply: "It must be you who blew me into the sky in the news you delivered to your father, so your father came out to greet me in person." ”
"Hehe~" Zhan Xiaozhao scratched his head, smiled, didn't explain anything, quickly glanced at Concubine Yan, and said matter-of-factly: "You can go slowly, let me go and explain two precautions to my father first." ”
"Go ahead." Song Qi waved his hand to Zhan Xiaozhao with a big grin, "However, don't flatter me in front of your father anymore!" ”
Zhan Xiaozhao urged him to step forward, threw the stirrup out of the saddle in front of the old general, and whispered a few words in the old general's ear. The old general shook his head at first, as if he had some different opinion, but then seemed to give in and nodded slowly.
Then General Zhan, accompanied by Zhan Xiaozhao, strode towards Song Qi and the others. The old general Zhan is about sixty years old, although he has white hair and a silver beard, three wrinkles on his forehead, and slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his complexion is ruddy, his voice is loud, and he is full of energy, and he cannot see his old age.
Song Qi saw that the old general Zhan had already come over, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, Concubine Yan Fu Ling Longni also dismounted, and all the people who rode the horse dismounted.
General Zhan took a few steps forward, suddenly knelt on his knees, and blurted out: "The old minister Zhanzhe has seen it... Yan... Ahem... Girl! As soon as he said a few words, he suddenly remembered Zhan Xiaozhao's explanation, and hurriedly coughed twice, and his voice suddenly became much quieter, so no one heard his last words clearly.
"I can't help it!" Song Qi thought that General Zhan was kneeling down to him, so he hurriedly dodged to the side, and then quickly pulled General Zhan's shoulders, dragged him up, and said humbly: "General Zhan, I'm not as powerful as Xiao Zhao said. The old general gave me such a big salute, I was really killed! He glared at Zhan Xiaozhao unhappily and reproached, "How did you brag about me with your father?" ”
Zhan Xiaozhao scratched his head embarrassedly.
Concubine Yan laughed behind Song Qi, and then stepped forward to greet General Zhan with a beautiful face: "General Zhan hasn't seen him for a long time, has he always been good?" ”
"Good!" When General Zhan saw Concubine Yan at first sight, he squinted his presbyopia, and looked Concubine Yan up and down a few times under the light of the lantern torch. At this moment, Concubine Yan was wearing a temporary change of clothes, and a pearl white tight-fitting placket on her upper body, which could not cover the two towering hills on her chest at all, and seemed to be about to break out of the cocoon at any time. Elegantly dragged on the ground. Although the clothes are ordinary clothes, it is difficult to hide Concubine Yan's delicate and extravagant.
General Zhan's excitement was uncontrollable, his eyes were red, the corners of his eyes seemed to be moist, and he said incoherently: "The old minister is incompetent, let you suffer, just come back!" ”
"yes, I'm back! I'm finally back in Liangguo! Concubine Yan cried with joy and tears.
Song Qi thought embarrassedly, this old general is really strange, as soon as they meet, he bows to me, but after saluting, he colds me aside and greets Concubine Yan. Liang Guo's etiquette is really too different from Wei Chen's. However, since General Zhan is the father of Concubine Yan's brother-in-law, they can be regarded as in-laws, and it is normal for them to greet each other.
After greeting Concubine Yan for a few words, General Zhan raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then turned his head to look at Song Qi, squinting his eyes and looking up and down. At this time, Song Qi was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with a light green embroidered pattern, a sky-blue ribbon tied around his waist, his hair tied behind his head with a sky-blue belt, and a tungsten steel crossbow on his back. Needless to say, Song Qi's appearance is handsome and chic, handsome and leaky.
Sure enough, he is a handsome heroic figure. General Zhan secretly admired, and felt a sense of joy for Song Qi in his heart. He smiled and asked Zhan Xiaozhao and Concubine Yan, "This is General Song Qi who defeated a patriotic army with the strength of one person?" ”
"The old general has won the award!" Song Qi has always been very modest, and now he has not changed his modest nature, he raised his hand and pointed to Mao Yong and the others behind him, and said in a humble voice: "It's not a person down there, there are several helpers." ”
When Mao Yong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but puff up their chests and belly, and raise their chins, very proud.
General Zhan glanced at Mao Yong and the others behind Song Qi, and saw that they were all fierce and energetic, and couldn't help but praise loudly: "Sure enough, they are all heroes and heroes!" ”
"Where, where!" Mao Yong and the others said in unison.
"Father, let's not just stand here and talk, let's hurry into the city and go back to the general's mansion. It's getting late, and everyone hasn't eaten yet. Zhan Xiaozhao had been holding his arms with both hands, watching from the wall, and then looked up at the sky, and reminded him a little anxiously.
General Zhan patted his head and smiled at Song Qi and Concubine Yan: "Hehe, you see that I patronize and talk, and I have forgotten about eating." I have already prepared a dinner party at the General's Palace. Public... Childe, please come into the city... (To be continued.) )
