Chapter 111: Fierce Competition
Zhong Wuregret is to go to disaster relief on behalf of the king of Chu, in order to show that he values the heart of disaster relief, Dou Yue Jiao wants to send Zhong Wu regret to send twenty chariots to escort, who knows that Zhong Wu regrets a mouthful of decline Dou Yue Jiao's kindness, he said vigorously: "The most scarce thing in the place I go to is food, if I want to bring so many soldiers, wouldn't it be fighting with the victims for food, where can I afford it?" ”
As a result, after Zhong Wuregret said goodbye to the king of Chu, he only selected a hundred archers and armor soldiers to accompany him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This Zhong has no regrets and is shameless enough, he said to Dou Yuejiao: "I have a premonition that this disaster relief, there are many auspicious and few people, few people can go back to the royal city, I have saved so many soldiers for you, it is better to send these hundred people to me, when I come back, I have nothing to say when I am dead, if there are still a few living people, I will be my nursing home, how about it?" ”
Dou Yuejiao looked at the soldiers selected by Zhong Wuregret, they were all ordinary archers and armor soldiers, none of them were strong soldiers and brave generals under him, and then looked at it, the soldiers who were selected were all crying and sad, full of sadness, like cattle and sheep about to go to the slaughterhouse. Thinking that Zhong Wuregret had made great efforts for him to sit in the position of Ling Yin, he readily agreed.
Zhong Wuregret's heart blossomed, and among the soldiers he selected, there was an archer named Yang Yuji, and he secretly thought that he could dig up a treasure now. It turns out that the idioms I learned, such as "a hundred steps through Yang" and "a hundred shots and a hundred hits", are all related to this Yangyouji.
It is said that at that time, there was also a man who was good at archery, named Pan Dang, who could shoot the red heart of the target with every arrow. Yoyuki said to him: "This is not a skill, if you can shoot the willow leaves from a hundred paces, it will be almost enough." ”
Pan Dang was not convinced, and immediately selected the three leaves on the willow tree, marked the number, and told Yang Youji to retreat to a hundred paces away, and shoot them in order. Yang Yuki shot three arrows in a row, and sure enough, the first arrow was in the first leaf, the second arrow was in the second leaf, and the third arrow was in the third leaf, and the arrows were all in the center of the leaf. This is the origin of the idioms "100 steps through Yang" and "100 shots and 100 hits".
However, Zhong Wuregret didn't understand why such a powerful archer was still an ordinary soldier, he really had some doubts about whether Yang Yuji was someone else, anyway, he would talk about it after the investigation.
After making preparations, Zhong Wuregret took the dozens of guards and a hundred soldiers he had temporarily found, and soon embarked on the road of disaster relief.
Seeing Zhong Wuregret's appearance, Pan Chongyi believed that Zhong Wuregret wanted to fight the idea of this batch of disaster relief silver.
Zhong Wuregret set off in a hurry and hurried on the road in a panic. Not far out of the city, a chest on a carriage fell to the ground, and from the box rolled out white silver, and the eyes of everyone who looked at it lit up.
This Zhong Wuregret is also strange, he was in a hurry before leaving the city, but after leaving the city, he was leisurely and leisurely marching to the great drought land, for fear that others would not know his itinerary.
After Zhong Wuregret left, the King of Chu was very annoyed in the palace, and he didn't have anyone to talk to. The Queen Mother forced him to quickly find a lady from the concubines. Just like modern parents rush to find a daughter-in-law for the prodigal son, and want to rely on the daughter-in-law to tie up their son.
But there are many concubines and concubines of the King of Chu, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, he can play how he wants to play on weekdays, how can he care about the lady of the main palace? However, this time the Queen Mother is also very resolute, and she must set up a lady in the main palace in a short time.
Maybe this time the ****** may have the consequences of the death of the country frightened the queen mother, in addition to sending Chanjuan to find Zhong Wuregret to persuade the king of Chu, she also wants to wake up the king of Chu by the wind next to the pillow, and can no longer let him blindly indulge in wine, hunting and playing, and the king should take the national politics as the priority.
There are several concubines that King Chu likes, but if he insists on picking one, he is not easy to choose.
Pan Chong received news from the great eunuch Si Gong, who managed the harem, that the Queen Mother wanted the King of Chu to establish a queen.
In a hurry, Pan Chong hurriedly summoned Deng Shi to discuss, trying to ask the palace to install his own people into the concubines to be selected, and secretly help the queen.
If the king of Chu had his own people next to his pillow, coupled with the power and forbidden army in his hands, Pan Chong could be said to have obtained half of the Chu country.
After Deng Shi came, he didn't make a sound for a long time, and closed his eyes and pondered. Pan Chong didn't urge, just waited quietly on the side.
After a long time, Deng Shicai opened his eyes, he stared at Pan Chong and said: "If you look for the existing concubines in the palace and teach them how to compete for favor, one is too hasty, and the other is very unreliable. Once this concubine becomes the lady of the main palace, in order to keep her own wealth, she may betray the princess. Not to mention that once there is a crown prince, in order to eliminate the threat, it is not impossible to cut off the prince by the hand of the king of Chu. ”
"In your opinion, it is to send a new beauty into the palace?" Pan Chong said.
Deng Shi laughed: "Taishi Guo is a master of great wisdom, and only those who choose Taishi will really serve Taishi when they enter the palace." ”
Pan Chong's face was worried, and he said, "In a hurry, where can I find a beautiful woman with excellent talent and appearance?" ”
"In my opinion, there are excellent candidates right now, but it just depends on whether the Taishi can be willing to part with love." Deng Shi said.
"Let's hear it first." Pan Chong said.
Deng Shi said: "Doesn't Taishi have a favorite concubine named Yuanyuan? Last time, the Taishi asked her to dance, she just danced, the second from the left and Zhuo Er had seen that the soul was not possessed, I watched her like an orchid, graceful like a phoenix, delicate eyes like waves, and a slow posture with a bee waist suspicious. Listening to her song, it is like a song of the warbler, which is really not inferior to the Lingbo girl in Guixianglou. Just ......"
Pan Chong didn't make a sound, thinking secretly in his heart: "You don't know about her other thing, she is also one of the so-called famous weapons that Zhong Wuregret's lewd thief told me." I guess it's called an octopus pot type. ”
The so-called octopus pot is a clay pot used to catch octopus. The jar has a small entrance and is slippery and easy to enter, while the inside is round and spacious.
The fish catcher will use a rope to put a few octopus pots up and still sink them into the sea, let them sink to the bottom of the sea, and after a few days, pull the rope up again, and then there will be a lot of octopus in the pot. Octopuses think that this octopus pot is the most comfortable nest for their body, so they sneak into it safely.
When the crockpot is pulled up like an earthquake, it panics and tries to escape, but when it enters the narrow entrance that it thinks is just right, it gets stuck when it tries to escape, and it is pulled out of the sea in the struggle.
Thinking of the silk book that Zhong Wuregret had written to him, Pan Chong couldn't help but think of the pleasure of being in bed with Yuanyuan.
If he gave away a treasure like Yuanyuan, Pan Chong really couldn't give it up, so he had to say curtly: "This Yuanyuan is no longer suitable, because she has been pregnant for a month." ”
Who knew that Deng Shi applauded loudly, he said: "As long as the king can make her the queen, in the future, if the boy is the prince, when the time comes, you can think of a way, you can kill the king, and when the son of the Taishi is established as the king of Chu, the Taishi will assist the government, and the father and son will be in charge of the Chu State. ”
With that, Deng Shi's forehead knocked to the ground for a long time.
That night, Pan Chong came to Yuanyuan's room, and he even retreated from the maids, and said to Yuanyuan gently: "I still have one thing today, and it is really difficult to choose, so I want to hear your heart." ”
Yuan Yuan hurriedly replied: "The life of the concubine is given by the Taishi, the Taishi said this, the concubine was deeply frightened, no matter what, although the Taishi commanded, the concubine should do her best." ”
Pan Chong said: "You know, of all my wives and concubines, you are the only one who can bring me the greatest pleasure, and therefore I spoil you the most." However, I have to give you away because of the existing incident, are you willing? ”
"Whether you want to or not, you will take the Taishi as the priority, the Taishi will send me to the kennel, and the concubine will not complain." Yuan Yuan said.
"Okay, I just want you to have a soft temperament." Pan Chong then gave Yuanyuan to the king of Chu, and later Yuanyuan did what he should do for him in the palace and told Yuanyuan to listen.
After finishing speaking, he stared at Yuan Yuan, as long as Yuan Yuan showed a hint of joy, he would imprison Yuan Yuan in Pan Mansion and torture him to death.
I saw Yuan Yuan burst into tears, choked up and said: "In the future, in the palace, I often see the Taishi, but I have to pretend that I don't know each other, and I can't feel the concern of the Taishi for a moment, isn't it extremely uncomfortable, why should the Taishi hand over such a cruel thing to the concubine?" I really don't want to leave Pan's Mansion even a single step. ”
Pan Chong hurriedly comforted: "As long as we endure for five to eight years, when our son grows up, we can be reunited, and we can endure hardships and blessings." ”
That night, Pan Chong didn't dare to stay with Yuanyuan. "If you can't bear it below, you will plot in chaos", he got on the bed of other Meiji, and took the beauty under him as Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan bathed and changed his clothes under the waiter of the maid, recuperated and rested, and prepared to enter the palace.
After leaving the royal city, Zhong Wuregret transferred Yang Youji to his side as a guard.
When he was slowly marching on the road, Zhong Wuregret called Yang Youji to the carriage and started a family affair with him, he said: "Yang Youji, from now on, you are the guardian of my Zhong Mansion, are you willing?" ”
Yang Youji had long heard of Zhong Wuregret's famous and obscene name, and he was extremely disdainful of him, and he said angrily: "Lord Dou Yuejiao has already given us to the adult, what is the use of not wanting to." ”
"And what do you want?" Zhong Wuregret asked.
"Be a soldier and fight for the Chu State, so that my boy will not be in vain in the next life." Yoyuki replied.
"You are just a small soldier, what extraordinary skills do you have to fight for the Chu State?" Zhong Wuregret teased him and said.
"Look, there will be birds flying in the sky immediately." Zhong Wuregret's contempt aroused Yang Yuji's anger. As soon as he took his bow and arrows, he did not look at them, but when an arrow was shot, a bird fell.
"This may really be the archer Yoyuki." Zhong Wuregret thought secretly, and immediately started to solicit.
Zhong Wuregret smiled and said: "The arrow shot well, but don't look at your burly figure, thick shoulders and round waist, even I can't beat it, why are you fighting for the Chu State, don't make people laugh off their big teeth." ”
Although he was an ordinary soldier, Yang Yuji was still very respected by the soldiers, where did he receive such an insult, his eyes widened angrily, and he said angrily: "If you don't see that you are a doctor in the court, in the army, I would have beaten you into meat cakes for people to eat." ”
"Beat me? That's what you said, let's go out. Zhong Wuregret pulled Yang Youji out of the carriage.
Zhong Wuregret told everyone to stop, he stood on the carriage and pointed to Yang Yuji and said to the soldiers: "This warrior said that he would beat me into a meat patty, and I said that he is not my opponent at all. What to do? How about I just fight him with my bare hands? ”
"Good! All right! The soldiers shouted. These soldiers were dragged forward by Zhong Wuregret to relieve the disaster, but this Zhong Wuregret led the robbers to his side like a human head and pig brain, making everyone very dangerous, and the soldiers had already hated him to the core.
Zhong Wuregret continued: "Since everyone likes me and Yang Yuki, no matter whether you win or lose, you must have some luck, right?" ”
"We don't have any silver taels." "I can't find a copper plate on my body, so it looks like I can't make it." "This guy is so slippery, he wants to make up his mind if he can't win." The soldiers muttered.
"I'm not asking you to pay for the lottery. I mean, if Yoyuki loses, you all have to swear to be the guardian of my Zhong Mansion, and you must do your best to fulfill your responsibilities, if I lose, I will give each person ten taels of silver, and I will keep if I am willing to be a nurse, if I don't want to, like this Yoyuki warrior wants to be a soldier, I will let you go. If you want to go home, you can do it, and ten taels of silver will be issued. What do you say? Zhong Wuregret said.
Since they were born, these soldiers have never seen such generous conditions, they can only think that Zhong Wuregret is too cute, how can they disagree, so they have recommended Yang Youji to come out on their behalf. (To be continued.) )
