Chapter 106: Thick Eyebrows and Big Eyes
"Hahaha, two heroes, please!" Chen Xinxi said with a smile on his face, he was in the old camp full of corpses to greet the two rogues who had captured Zijin Liang. At this time, the fire was all extinguished, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
It took about an hour for these two righteous sons to go from panicked and fleeing horsemen to heroes who captured the head of thieves, and became guests of mortal enemies, and this miraculous transformation came from the godfather tied to the ground. Those ordinary homeless people who are crying outside do not have their treatment, and Daddy fights like this in this era.
"The villain doesn't dare!" The two rogues spoke in unison, and before they entered the tent, they were told that this was the young master of the prince, Lord Chen, the chief soldier of Dengzhou Town, and the two of them were so frightened that their feet trembled. They have always used ferocity to disguise their humble mentality, but in the face of this fierce Ming army, the only ferocity they can rely on is not enough.
The inferiority complex in their deepest hearts was revealed, and the fear of power at this time was even greater than that of ordinary people, and the two of them were lying on the ground trembling, not daring to look up at Chen Xin.
Wang Mafu leaned into Chen Xin's ear and said, "After more than 20 horsemen confirmed, this person is Zijin Liang. These two men were his sons, and when the cavalry arrived, they were guarding each other with swords. ”
Chen Xin shook his hand at him, signaled if he wanted to mention this matter again, and then said to the two of them with a smile on his face: "The two strong men captured Zijin Liang alive and removed a big trouble for our emperor." Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great, even if the two of them had any illegal things before, they are all offset today, and the official still wants to ask my emperor for the two of them, please get up quickly. ”
The two kowtowed again and again, this Ming army was so fierce, they thought it should be a fierce image like Zhang Fei, who knew that they spoke so politely, and their voices were also very gentle, and the tension in their hearts was greatly reduced.
The guards went over to help them up, and the two of them cautiously got up. Standing in the middle of the tent with shrunken hands, occasionally peeking at the majestic guards around him.
"What are the two surnames? What was his previous position in the Zijin Liang Army? ”
The short one preemptively said: "The villain's name is Li Erbai, he was originally from Xi'an Mansion, he was coerced into the gang by this king for his own use, and he was forced to do bad things for him, the villain didn't want to follow him to do bad things, and he waited for the official grandfather to kill him for a long time, and he waited for the opportunity today." ”
The tall man immediately said: "The villain's name is Wang Fu, and he was also coerced." It's just that he can do some horsemanship, and he was accepted as a righteous son by Wang Zi with this bastard, and the villain wanted to join the official army for a long time, but he didn't find the right time......"
Chen Xin smiled and said to the two: "The official said it earlier. Caught Zijin Liang rewarded 1,000 taels of silver, although the two of you caught it together, the official promised a thousand gold, and it was still 1,000 taels per person. However, the position of a thousand households involved the imperial court system, but they did not dare to rashly issue it, so they only got one. The official can't tell who has the greatest merit and who has the small merit in this matter, so the two of them can immediately discuss it on their own and give the official a reply. ”
The two of them began to listen, and their faces were full of joy. Later, when I heard that there was only one thousand households, they looked at each other and did not speak, although this thousand households were not considered big officials, but in the humble mentality of ordinary rogues. It is still very important, the kind of envy for officials in their hearts is deep-rooted.
Chen Xin took a coconut scoop and drank water. After waiting quietly for a while, he asked, "Can you two discuss it?" ”
"Alright, sir." The tall Wang Fu stepped forward, "Li Erbai said it personally at that time, and the thousand households were given to the villain. ”
Li Erbai lowered his head, looking a little unwilling, Chen Xinwei smiled and asked, "Li Erbai, did you say that?" ”
"The villain didn't say it."
Wang Fu turned his head, the two looked at each other fiercely, and Li Erbai also said in his mouth: "It's the villain's hand that moves first, and Seventeen is a cheap ......."
Suddenly there was a shout from the ground, "Two turtle grandchildren, put your mother's hair on your forehead and your grandmother's hair." ”
Everyone looked to the ground, only to see Zijin Liang waking up slowly, opening his eyes and glaring at the two of them. He was still in power, and as soon as he made a sound, the two righteous sons immediately shut up and took two steps back.
Chen Xin looked at this big leader of the 36th Battalion with interest, with a strong body and a dignified appearance, although his face was full of tired and tattered clothes, his unruly temperament was still there, and he was completely different from those ordinary homeless people.
"Wang Ziyong, I heard that you turned out to be a monk?"
"I'll put your mother's hair, you donkey ball dog officer, your turtle grandson is a monk." After Zijin Liang finished scolding, he lay on his back on the ground panting.
Chen Xin shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect you, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, to rebel...... Be a rogue, too. Qing Beauty, why be a thief, you don't talk to the official well, and the official doesn't bother to tell you. ”
Chen Xin said to the two righteous sons: "The two of you discuss and report back to the official." Then he turned to Wang Mafu again, "Lead the troops to escort Zijin Liang to swim around the prisoners of the homeless people outside, and the bandit leader will be captured, it is necessary to educate those homeless people, and lead the guards to protect it, don't let people hurt him, and send him to Beijing in a few days." In addition, bring these two strong men with them, and announce the names of the two to the displaced people, they are the strong men who captured Zijin Liang, so that those captives can take the two as models in the future. ”
The two righteous sons were stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a while, and now in other people's territory, they can't help whether they want to or not, a few guards came over and took the three out of the tent, and the captain of the guard outside gave a command, transferred some people to escort them, and went to the outside of the camp with neat steps.
Waiting for Wang Mafu and them to go out, Chen Xin yawned for a long time, and then got up and wandered around in the big tent of Zijin Liang, there were a lot of good things in it, although a lot of them were robbed last night, but what was left was still good things, and everything was a treasure.
Chen Xin picked up a white jade lion on the ground to play with, the white color was flawless, the jade color was warm, and the lion shape was vivid. I also sighed in my heart that the folk craftsmen could polish the hard jade so exquisitely, but the Ministry of Industry couldn't make a rough bird's gun. The fur dog also held a red agate bracelet and held it up in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
Chen Xin put the jade lion on a bearskin chair and said to the sea dog: "Dog, don't look at it, go to the staff officer's side and ask how the results of the battle are, so that I can report the good news to Lord Lu." ”
"Hey!" The tail-like fur dog responded, Chen Xin turned around and touched the bear skin on the chair after speaking, the fur dog hesitated, suddenly stuffed the agate bracelet into his inner pocket, peeked at Chen Xin, and saw that Chen Xin didn't pay attention. Shrunk his head and walked out of the account......
"Lord Chen hasn't come back yet, and Tangma hasn't come back."
In the Huixian camp, Song Wenxian said to Lu Zhi in front of him, with an anxious look on his face.
Lu Zhi walked around irritably, when the army came out of the camp last night, he moved very quickly, and he didn't blow the trumpet and beat the drums, and he heard the report of the head of the family when everyone was gone, and then Chen Xintangma also came to report to him, saying that he was going to fight the village. I received information on the way, and temporarily decided to go to the camp of the Liukou who repaired the martial arts.
As soon as he heard that Chen Xin was going to fight seventy or eighty thousand rogues, he hurriedly ran to organize this crazy act, but when he arrived at the camp gate, the army had already gone away. The sentinel didn't know. It was dark outside, and there were no torches, and the two groups of family members sent out did not find the brigade, and only reported that only half of the standard battalion was left behind.
Then Lu Zhi didn't sleep all night, although he was very confident in Dengzhou Town, but he had never imagined that he would go a hundred miles to fight twenty times the enemy army. With Chen Xin's status as the crown prince and young master now. Coupled with the emperor's consistent good impression, if he has a good one, the emperor is angry, and I don't know how many people will lose their heads. Even if Lu Zhi can dodge. What followed was the whereabouts of Dengzhou Town, he knew very well that Dengzhou Town was different from other military towns, Chen Xin had irreplaceable influence, and even Wang Tingqian did not dare to win over any officers. If it becomes as chaotic as Dongjiang Town back then. Then Lu Zhi's weight in front of the emperor and the inner prison plummeted.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he had already walked around the camp gate all night. As soon as dawn was over, several groups of family members were sent to inquire about the news, but they had not yet returned, which made him even more anxious.
Lu Zhi finally couldn't help it, stopped and said to Song Wenxian: "Mr. Song, you said that Lord Chen is a very smart person, why is he so reckless in this war?" He is a dignified prince and young master, how can he fight with a group of rogues, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Denglai Liaonan who need him to take charge. ”
Song Wenxian agreed in his heart, Chen Xin was thousands of times more important to him than Lu Zhi. If Chen Xinzhen hangs up, all Song Wenxian's ambitions will also be empty, so his anxiety is still far above Lu Zhi. Song Wenxian advised Chen Xin not to go in person at that time, but Chen Xin was unmoved, only saying that it was a necessary adventure. Although he didn't agree, it was inconvenient to comment on Shangguan, so he just bowed to Lu.
Lu Zhi turned to the head of the family and yelled, "Send someone to investigate again, and bring a few more horses." ”
The general manager hurriedly went to arrange people again, Lu Zhi turned his head to look at Song Wenxian, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, shaking his head and sighing long.
Song Wenxian had no choice but to persuade: "Lord Chen has been on the battlefield for a long time, there are no need to be afraid of the rogues, there are three thousand Dengzhou soldiers, at least they can retreat with their whole body, even if they are surrounded somewhere, let's go and ask Lord Xuan to lead the army to rescue." ”
Lu Zhi was not very comfortable when he thought of Xuan Mo, neither of them was impeached, Xuan Mo was the dignified governor, and he played well in Henan, there was no big leak, the emperor would never change generals because of an impeachment of the overseers in other towns, and Xuan Mo certainly couldn't participate in Lu Zhi.
Thinking of going to ask Xuan Mo, Lu Zhi was unhappy, frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "If it is really critical, I can't say that I can't pull down this face to beg that Xuan Mo, if he dares not to save it, our family will personally go to Beijing to sue the emperor and fight with him to the end." ”
Song Wenxian didn't expect this Lu Zhi to have this bachelor spirit, and he didn't believe him very much in his heart, he didn't want to talk about the rescue at this time, maybe it was not necessary, but he owed a favor in vain. He said to Lu Zhi: "Lord Lu, there are not many soldiers and horses in the camp now, do you want to transfer the people left behind in the standard camp to the big camp, there is not much grain and grass in the standard camp, it is important to keep our big camp steady." ”
Lu Zhi looked around, it was true that there were too few troops, this big battalion put most of the grain, grass and baggage, and there was only one division of the guard battalion left in the entire camp, as well as the baggage soldiers of each department. Because the battle situation is unknown, the guards who stayed behind are always very careful, except for the soldiers who have to be on duty, all the baggage soldiers are assembled with their own weapons and stand by.
"Then come over to the bidding camp." Lu Zhi turned around and instructed the family to inform the remaining standard battalion soldiers to come to the camp.
Song Wenxian's mood is a little calm, as long as the camp is guarded, the army will have a way to retreat, and now he is afraid that Liukou will come before Dengzhen, this camp is wide, I am afraid that it is not easy to defend.
In the blink of an eye, he found that even the propaganda team was standing by on the earthen wall with spare firearms, the formation was chaotic, and even the female soldiers had a musket, how awkward to look at it......
Guan Xiaomei kicked Tang Wei's leg, "Fatty, why are your legs shaking?" If there's not a single rogue out there, you're afraid of being like this. ”
"I, where am I shaking, I'm not afraid." Tang Wei tensed his legs, but his pants couldn't show shaking.
"I'm not afraid of why you're sweating, it's not hot today."
Tang Wei hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve, was rubbed by the copper buckle on it, and made a painful sound, so he quickly took off a handkerchief from the belt and wiped it off the sweat on his fat face.
Xu Pingjie's voice sounded, "Hmph, Pei Pei, don't believe his nonsense, he saw countless rogues rushing towards him by the Huanshui that day, and he peed his pants on the spot, this kind of person can also play a tartar." ”
Tang Wei tilted his head and argued: "That's sweat!" ”
"How can the sweat flow down the pants."
"How do I know?" Tang Wei would never admit it, in fact, he didn't remember if he was scared to pee his pants, he was still on the other side of Huanshui at that time, and when he saw the rogues all over the mountains, his head became blank, and he didn't remember anything later.
Xie Fei, who is also a drama tartar, said: "Xu Pingjie, you are scared stupid, we are all guarding the riverbank, why do you take it alone to guard the horse that pulls the knife, do you want to steal the horse and escape when the opportunity is not good?" The fat man looks like this, and it is understandable to be timid, but I didn't expect you Xu Pingjie to be so timid with thick eyebrows and big eyes. ”
Xu Pingjie said angrily: "I'm afraid of horses running around......"
"There is a groom for the horses to run around, and the captain doesn't know what's going on, so he wants you to go and see the horses." Xie Fei gave his tongue and made Xu Pingjie speechless.
Xu Pingjie was annoyed and angry, came over and grabbed Xie Fei's collar, and the two immediately quarreled. The other team members came up one after another to persuade them to leave, and when the two saw that a military judge was coming over, they didn't dare to make too much trouble, so they got off the donkey and separated.
Xu Pingjie pointed at Xie Fei and Tang Wei and said: "You two play Tartars, let's see who is cowardly, next time if you encounter an enemy, the turtle grandson hides behind, let's pick up a knife and cut it down." ”
Tang Wei and the two replied: "Go and go, you have to let everyone know that you are the grandson of the turtle, let's fulfill you." ”
"Don't make any noise, there's a horse outside."
After Guan Xiaomei finished speaking, a group of team members looked outside, there was really a group of cavalry running, bringing up the dust, everyone looked carefully, and after getting closer, it turned out to be really a rogue, and there were many shirtless.
Guan Xiaomei picked up the gun and said with a big grin: "Whoever said it just now, go and cut it down...... Hey, what about people? ”
