Chapter IV
The official hall is open and exquisite, and the carpet on the ground is like a blanket. The soothing aroma of the beast's mouth incense burner rises. The charcoal fire of the earth dragon around the house is booming, and every room in the hall is spring.
Shi Songzhi played with a Warring States sword coin in his hand, and listened to what Meng Heng, who was standing respectfully beside him, was reporting with a faint expression.
"Dashuai, that's all he said, and his subordinates also feel quite reasonable. It is very difficult to force him to take a stand now. But after all, the Guiyi Army is backed by Jinghu, and it will not be able to bypass us in the future. ”
Shi Songzhi sighed and asked casually: "Our first batch of supplies for the Returned Righteous Army has been prepared, right?" ”
Meng Heng nodded and said: "10,000 stone of grain, 500,000 provincial money, and some equipment and canes, which will be transported to Dengzhou along the Han River in the near future." ”
Shi Songzhi said lightly: "After all, there are not many things, Yuchen came to me two days ago to say goodbye, in fact, I am not very happy in my heart." But everyone is playing for Da Song, he is in front, and we are a lot easier here............ Besides, I still have to see his father's face! ”
Meng Hui smiled and said: "The marshal is fair, which is the blessing of the Guiyi Army, the blessing of the people of Jinghu, and the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Shi Songzhi smiled and waved his hand: "I don't have such a high demeanor, but I also think more about ourselves............ I heard that they went to the South Road? ”
Meng Hui nodded and said, "Yes, they went to the South Road to see the smelting pit, and they were going to recruit craftsmen, maybe they planned to make their own weapons and armor canes in Henan." ”
Shi Songzhi smiled: "Or do you mainly want to rely on yourself?" This little rain general can be regarded as very ambitious............ Come, Puyu, I'll show you an interesting person. ”
Meng Hui was a little surprised, Shi Songzhi smiled and took his hand and walked towards the inner flower hall, and said all the way: "It's really an interesting person, a very interesting guy............"
The family in front opened the curtain of the inner flower hall, and the two stepped in one after the other. There was a middle-aged man sitting on the chair below, it was Quan Guanqing. He changed into a new outfit, but his complexion was still not very good. Holding a tea bowl in his hand, he was stunned there. As soon as he saw the two of them walking in, Quan Guanqing stood up and saluted: "Xiaomin Loyal and Righteous Beggars Gang Five Bags of Disciples Quan Guanqing See Dashuai and General Meng." ”
Shi Songzhi smiled and waved his hand: "That's it, the loyal beggar gang and Ben Shuai are not outsiders, Quan Brother, what you said to Ben Shuai in your handbook, let's say it again now." ”
Quan Guanqing glanced at Meng Hui and knew that Meng Hui was Shi Songzhi's first intimate figure. Yesterday, according to the consultation of their loyal beggar gang, he left the door and handed the handbook to Shi Songzhi. Sure enough, he was summoned today, and he was placed in the inner hall to speak. There is a fire in the heart.
He got up and bowed down and said, "According to the orders of the marshal, Xiaomin Quan Guanqing is a person who has returned from the north. He is very clear about the details of Yuchen, and he was awarded the title of Jin Guo that day. His eldest brother Xiao Feng was also the first important minister under the Mongolian Liao King Liuge. This person was already at both ends of the rat, betrayed him in Henan, and he didn't have the slightest loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Meng Hui's face has changed, what a punishment this complaint is, how poisonous! The marshal also welcomed him to the inner courtyard, what was his plan? Thinking about the vest, I saw a slight cold sweat.
Shi Songzhi just smiled: "General Yu is now a newcomer with high hopes in the imperial court, and you are guilty of falsely accusing the minister like this." ”
Meng Heng also sneered beside him: "Marshal, General Yu has been fighting for the rest of his life in front, and he has returned to the south lightly, and Mr. Yu is also a cardinal." This person is still here to talk nonsense, and his intentions really can't be asked! Dashuai, his subordinates will drive him out, so as to save the place of pollution. ”
Quan Guanqing's expression remained unchanged: "If Xiaomin has no evidence, how dare he open his mouth and talk nonsense?" We loyal beggars only have the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts, and the new cardinals or something, are not in the eyes of the small people............"
Shi Songzhi snorted and said in a low voice: "Arrogance." ”
"Xiaomin has been in the north for a long time, and he also knows that the Guiyi Army is really mixed, there are old generals of the Red Jacket Army, martial arts figures in the south of the Yangtze River, and more of them are the regular army of the original Dajin Kingdom. This kind of strength is in the hands of Yuchen, who is close to Mongolia, it is better to be taken over by the marshal, which is a good opportunity for the marshal to make contributions. ”
He took out a bright yellow edict from his arms, surrounded by golden dragons, and a bright red gold treasure. "This is Yuchen accepting Jin Guoce's seal and going to accept Dengzhou's edict, if he hadn't sold himself to take refuge, how could he have made a career so quickly? The little people's words are all here, and how to deal with them is all in the big handsome. ”
This edict is the edict of Wanyan Huxi who asked to be named the Duke of Southern Henan, and the envoy of Southern Henan and the governor of Dengzhou. Wanyan Huxi took it to Dengzhou to announce the edict on the same day, but it was preserved by Quan Guanqing to this day.
Shi Songzhi motioned to Meng Hui to take the edict, Meng Hui took it from Quan Guanqing's hand and swept it slightly, he already understood that what Quan Guanqing said was true, and immediately took his thoughts, this is a big crime!
Shi Songzhi took the edict, glanced at it, threw the edict on the table, and his face sank: "General Yu is fighting alone in the north, and he has power for a while!" There are always some villains who hurt people with hidden arrows in the back, if I listen to your instigation and fulfill your wishes, won't it chill the hearts of the people of the world? You're not thinking about Ben Shuai, but you're baking on the fire! ”
He waved his hand vigorously: "It's really a villain!" Look at the annoyance that there is not! For the sake of the loyal beggars, I sent you this military stick today! Puyu, send me off! ”
Meng Heng glanced at Shi Song gratefully, and invited Quan Guanqing out with a cold face. In his own opinion, it was already an extra face for the people in this beggar gang. Quan Guanqing's feelings were completely different, he glanced at the two of them with a pale face, the green tendons in his temples jumped and jumped, put away the edict, and finally bowed to the ground: "Thank you Dashuai for meeting, Xiaomin said goodbye." ”
Shi Songzhi smiled and watched Meng Hui send Quan Guanqing away, when he heard a light sound of footsteps, and the doughy Elder Peng came out from behind. Saluted to Shi Songzhi: "Shi Shuai." ”
Shi Songzhi smiled: "Old Peng, what do you think?" ”
Elder Peng shook his head and said: "The disposition of the marshal, how dare we talk more, Quan Guanqing was introduced by me to see the marshal, and I always feel that the Guiyi Army is in the hands of the marshal himself, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone?" ”
Shi Songzhi stood up and took two steps: "Wait, take a look." Not everything can be done so lightly, and I actually like that young man from Yuchen very much in my heart............ You tell Quan Guanqing again in private, telling him not to care about it and keep the edict. Let's take a look at the future exhibition. ”
Elder Peng was a little confused: "Why is that handsome ............ today?" ”
Shi Songzhi stood up, took two steps with his hands in his hands, and turned to look at Elder Peng fixedly.
"Because you only have your loyal beggars in your hearts, but what I think of is the entire Great Song Dynasty."
A group of cars and horses walked slowly on the official road leading to Huangzhou with the residual snow on the roadside, but the weather was a little warmer today, and there was a vague feeling of spring breeze. There are more and more pedestrians on the road. Several girls didn't sit in the carriage, and they all rode on their horses, looking at the fields of the Great Song Dynasty.
Wan Yanping and Yang Guo rode horses, laughing and rushing to the front. I don't know which sentence Yang Guo said annoyed this little girl again, but she just wanted to chase him. Yang has been in the army for a long time, and he is a good horse under his crotch, how could he be caught up by her? It's just that he is teasing her.
I frowned at the back and shouted, "Yang Guo, don't make trouble!" How is it good to fall Wanyan girl? It's fine in the north, but when you come to the south, you'll get more and more lawless! Duan Yu and Murong Fu smiled beside me and said: "Everyone has suffered enough in the north, now the days are quiet, let their children make trouble, I am also very proficient in controlling horses after watching Miss Yan, and there will be nothing wrong." ”
I looked around, and several girls and horses were riding well, only Zhou Zhiruo was riding on a horse, with a white face, and barely followed us. I turned back to her and said, "Zhiruo, you don't know how to ride a horse and go to Miss Wang's car, it's not fun to fall." ”
Zhou Zhiruo reluctantly smiled: "Several housewives are riding horses, and it is too disrespectful for me to ride in the carriage alone, and the general will send troops to release horses in the future, if I am not familiar with kuài, how will I follow and serve the general and several housewives in the future?" ”
Murong Fu laughed: "Ambitious." He turned to me again: "The general didn't come in vain this time, the grain and military materials were shipped to Dengzhou when we came out of Ezhou, and some craftsmen were recruited along the way." There is also a Daye pit in Huangzhou, is it that after we go, let's go out of Lianghuai? ”
I nodded. This time in Ezhou, after politely rejecting Shi Songzhi's solicitation, there was such an unexpectedly good result. It's far beyond my expectations. The recruitment of craftsmen is also very smooth, these craftsmen are all perennial from this smelting pit to that smelting pit, not the people who are unable to leave their homeland, take the money given by Jinghu, and spend a lot of money. Not only did they order fine iron utensils, but they also hired some good craftsmen. But I don't know why, I always have some apprehension in my heart. Seeing that everyone was elated, I had to keep it in my heart and not say anything.
When the group arrived at a small town, it was already lunchtime. I looked at the three words Dayang Town written in alum at the gate of the town. smiled: "Let's just play in this town, go to Huangzhou Yekeng in the afternoon, and stay in Huangzhou in the evening." Everyone cheered, and Yang Guo and Wan Yanping rushed to the front to pick the shop first.
The town is quite large, and it can catch up with the scale of the northern county seat. The date of the Lantern Festival is approaching. Many residents have set up colorful canopies and are ready to put on the lights. The streets are also bustling with people. Yang Guo and they are picking a big store that is five deep. A group of more than 100 people sat in it, and it was more than spacious. The shopkeeper and Xiao Er greeted the big deal when they saw it coming to the door. His men led their horses to feed them. I loosened my belly belt for my foal, and walked into the store with a few girls on the ice and snow that had not yet melted.
It wasn't long before I sat down, and I didn't even serve the main dish. Dozens of horses poured out of the door. If you look closely, it seems that they are all imprinted military horses, and they are all sturdy men, dressed in neat black power suits. Immediately a stack of voices greeted the shop hot sake and noodles.
First, a sturdy man walked in with a swagger of a horsewhip. As soon as I came in, my eyes were fiercely fixed on the faces of several girls who refused to move away. It's no wonder that Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, Zhou Zhiruo, and Sun Keyi are all first-class colors, and even Azhu Abi, and even the lively and lovely Wan Yanping are all outstanding characters. I was seen a lot along the way, and I didn't care too much. It's just that there are still few people as unscrupulous as this man.
Yang Guo immediately slapped the table and wanted to stand up, but I held him down. The man sneered twice. I found some large tables with my men and sat down. That's how the conversation drifted into our ears.
"There are a lot of beautiful little ladies in that group, and I can see that Lao Tzu is full of heat!"
"Big brother, with your status and status, it's not a thing to take all these little ladies in."
"Hehe, let's talk about this later, I have already got dozens of good horses today, I have to go back early, these war horses in the army are not easy to get. If you don't deal with it early, it's a trouble to be felt. ”
"What does our boss want so many war horses for?"
"Not to deal with a kid who came back from the north? But this group of people also seems to have dozens of good horses, and they are also robbing the fuck while they can. ”
"By the way, I also collected a few little girls, and everyone was happy............"
Speaking of which, it was already foul language, and it was unbearable. Everyone here has changed color. A few grumpy people wanted to do it, but I was forced to hold it, I don't know why. I always felt that these people were deliberately speaking to us. Murong Fu is undeserved, he is the most arrogant person. Where can he stand the girls around him who others say this! I watched him slowly regain his strength. He whispered to him: "Murong, we still have a journey to catch up today, so don't make trouble." ”
Murong Fu sneered: "How much effort does it take to fight these three-legged cat-like characters? The general himself looked at Huangzhou first, and we came from behind, so we won't delay anything. Besides, these people made it clear that the chariots and horses wanted to fight us, and they also stole military horses, as soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, we can't ignore it, and it is best to find their lair and give them a favor to the Jinghu army. ”
Yang Guo listened to Daxi next to him: "Okay, good!" Don't do anything here later, and when they're out of town, we'll follow them up and have a fucking good time. Wan Yanping was happy next to her: "I must catch up with this excitement, Brother Yu, you can't help but agree." ”
Sun Keyi originally had the best temper, but those men saw that she was proud of her figure, and they spoke the most foul language against her. She blushed early, and begged Mu Wanqing there: "Sister Mu, you will accompany me later, can you beat them up?" Mu Wanqing smiled and nodded in agreement. Duan Yu also shook his head there: "It's bearable, it's unbearable............"
I saw that everyone was interested in the same thing, so I had to sigh: "Okay, let's go together." Murong Fu shook his head: "The master still doesn't have to move lightly, cousin, their car can't keep up with our fast horses, and they still ask the master to take care of it." Let the Lord hurry by himself, and we will meet when we are done. ”
That's right............ It's also done, anyway, it's all the ground of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no risk, so let these people go out and vent their evil spirits. These soldiers under my command are all rolled out of the pile of dead people in the north, and when they arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, they have been in peace for a long time, and it is not good to let them hold back all the time. I only admonished: "Don't go too far, what do you say, we are also officials, and here is not as good as the north, can you know?" ”
The dozens of men quickly finished eating the things in front of them, and dropped a few sheets on the table. The man in front stood up and glanced at us, and said with a smile: "Little lady, let's meet another day." Dozens of people laughed and poured out. Murong Fu and the others glanced at each other, also stood up, and beckoned thirty or fifty of his subordinates to follow out, Yang Guo and Wan Yanping happily rushed to the front, Yang Guo turned around and grinned at me, turned over and got on the horse and rushed out.
I smiled bitterly and saw that there were only three Wang Yuyan's master and servant, as well as Duan Yu and Zhou Zhiruo, and twenty or thirty subordinates. Wang Yuyan watched Murong Fu get on the horse, and said to Azhu Abi: "You guys follow my cousin, I can't ride a horse, I can't follow, you can follow, and you can take care of it." ”
I looked at Duan Yu strangely: "Why don't you go out of your evil spirits?" Duan Yu shook his head and said, "I don't like fighting, but I can still reason with them in person." ”
What is this?
When we left Dayang Town, we saw that we had already walked for half an hour, and Wang Yuyan was sitting in the carriage, poking her head out from time to time to look behind, her delicate eyebrows frowning. Apparently worried about her cousin. I really don't understand, Murong Fu has always been indifferent to her, and sometimes she is very vicious, why is this beautiful and smart little girl dead set on him?
Duan Yu smiled beside her and comforted her: "Miss Wang, how high is Murong Gongzi's martial arts, it's not a matter of catching a few little thieves?" You don't have to worry about it, they'll follow later. He was also sad in his heart, and he fell in love with this Wang girl at first sight in Mantuo Villa. Later, the rivers and lakes were wandering and refused to go home, and even the chaotic north followed her, just wanting to see her more and accompany her more. In the Guiyi Army in Henan, he was only regarded as the elder brother of the general's concubine, and no one took him as a thing, and everyone regarded him as a transparent person, and he didn't care much about it. But his sweetheart only thinks of another person all the time, but it makes his heart like boiling oil.
Unconsciously, a few words from chess friend Huang Yaoshi came to his mind again: "The kid looks so unproductive!" Like a girl, hug her and tell her that is. If you succeed, if you don't succeed, you will break up, always around her, whisper for her, and others will look down on you! If it's your own, don't let it go. It's not my own, and I sigh all day long, do love saints, what's the taste, I forgot about it for a long time! From now on, her life and death are your business! ”
However, I really can't forget it, I can't get out............
