Chapter 315: Guoshi Token
After hearing that voice suddenly, Qin Baichuan was quite surprised, although when he was in Anyang, he had said that he would come to Jiangling to walk around recently, but he never thought that it would be so soon! Yan Dagongzi and Qin Baichuan also had the same idea, and when he heard the old man speak, he shrank his neck with a slight wry smile on his face.
"Old man, listen to what you mean, do you know my eldest brother?" Xu Xiu was also surprised, after the old man came, he pestered himself to ask questions, but he didn't expect that he seemed to be an acquaintance of the eldest brother.
"The old man not only knows Qin Xiaoyou, but also has a good friend with Qin Xiaoyou." The old man didn't notice Qin Baichuan and the others coming in, and laughed: "A month ago, the old man just returned to Dasong from other places and painted at the Anyang seaside market. 'When you are old and strong, you would rather move the heart of the white head; Poor and strong, don't fall into the ambition of the clouds', haha, Qin Xiaoyou is the only wonderful person he has seen in the old man's life! ”
"My eldest brother is the most capable." Hearing someone praise his eldest brother, Xu Xiumei said with a smile.
"Xiu'er, you don't want to fall into Mr. Lu's trap. He deliberately said something nice here, maybe he wanted to let you charge a few taels less when the bill was settled. Qin Baichuan opened with a hippie smile.
"Big brother!" Xu Xiu hurriedly turned around, and when he saw Qin Baichuan, he didn't care if he was rude or not, and rushed over at a trot.
"Haha, could it be that in Qin Xiaoyou's eyes, the old man is such a cheap villain?" The old gentleman also turned his head, and saw that Qin Baichuan was not much surprised, and laughed heartily.
This old man is not an outsider, it is the emperor whom Qin Baichuan met in Anyang, Lu Shigao, Lord Lu. The reason why he is called an old gentleman is because seeing that Lu Shigao's dress today is clearly a micro-costume patrol, and there are a few tables of customers in the store, so Qin Baichuan did not break Lu Shigao's identity.
"Mr. Qin!" The strong man sitting opposite Lu Shigao stood up from his seat and said with a smile: "When we parted a few days ago, I was thinking, I didn't know when I would be able to see Brother Qin again, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon. ”
"Brother Ding." Qin Baichuan nodded to the strong man, this person was the subordinate of the uncle of the Temple of Repentance, Ding Sanshi who escorted him all the way back to Jiangling.
"Come on, come on, now that Qin Xiaoyou is back, the old man wants to have a few more drinks with you!" After seeing Qin Baichuan, Lu Shigao was also happy in his heart, and when he beckoned Qin Baichuan to come over, he saw Yan Juzheng in the back, and immediately said, "Huh? Yan Gongzi actually went to Jiangling? ”
Lu ...... Lu...... Big...... Old, old gentleman......" Yan Juzheng faintly saw a cold sweat on his forehead, and stammered: "Anyang...... War, war, my uncle asked me to take my cousin and defect to Brother Qin......"
Qin Baichuan and Lu Shigao all knew that Yan Dagongzi was like this, and they talked a lot when they saw beautiful women, but they were always a little unconfident and uncomfortable when they saw the officials, so they didn't feel anything, but Zhang Wanli's eyes widened. I'm the next Ao, this Yan Dagongzi has changed too fast, right? Where's that bravado outside? Could it be ...... Just a straw bale?
"The war in Anyang, we all know it, don't mention it. Hey, Yan Gongzi is displaced, which makes the old man sad, but please rest assured, things will come to an end soon. Lu Shigao didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing like the underground forces, so he sighed and smiled reluctantly: "Don't talk about these troubles, come, Qin Xiaoyou, since the old people are reunited, then sit down." ”
"Big brother, since the old gentleman is your friend, then I will prepare some dishes, and by the way, take out your chili peppers and let the old gentleman taste them." Xu Xiu saw that the old man seemed to be extremely familiar with Brother Qin, and Brother Qin brought another fat son, so he chuckled and ran to the back kitchen.
"Sir, why did you come to Gangneung? How could Brother Ding be with you? After Qin Baichuan sat down, he asked the doubts in his heart.
"Qin Xiaoyou is a noble person, when he was in Anyang, the old man said that he was stubborn with the old Chu in Jiangling, and he wanted to come to visit after returning to Dasong, but the academy competition was about to be held, and the old man delayed some time." Lu Shigao said with a smile: "Secondly, when Qin Xiaoyou made friends with my friend in the Temple of Repentance, didn't he give him a suggestion of 'defeating the imperial court'? ”
"Oh, I forgot, that uncle is quite talented." Qin Baichuan nodded: "I said a big loss, the uncle only used a few generalizations at that time, saying 'open up the way of speech, so as not to block the holy hearing'." ”
Lu Shigao suddenly grinned, daring to call the current saint an uncle, and the person who is still alive in the world so far, is only Qin Xiaoyou. Ding Sanshi also laughed, he was in charge of guarding that day, and Qin Baichuan's performance was vivid.
At that time, Xiaoyou's suggestion was to take out one city and one place to conduct an experiment, and after it was successful, it would be promoted all over the country...... No, your 'uncle' played your meaning to the emperor, and the emperor sent an order down and asked me to find Qin Xiaoyou, starting from Jiangling. Lu Shigao smiled and said: "The old man didn't dare to disobey the holy decree, and after the Anyang matter was completed, he rushed to Jiangling, and the uncle on the road sent an order to Ding Zhuangshi to let him escort him along the way." ”
"Mr. Qin, I also received an order halfway, if I had known this, I shouldn't have been separated from you that day, but it would have been a lot less fun." Ding Sanshi hugged his fists again at Qin Baichuan and said with a smile: "After I met with Lord Lu, I came by boat, and when I passed by Xun Qin Ji and smelled the fragrance of the hot pot, I came in to play the sharp, but I didn't expect to chat with the shopkeeper of Xiu'er to know that this was actually Mr. Qin's industry." ”
"The industry is my sister of the Xu family, I'm just helping." Qin Baichuan didn't answer this question, and said with some expectation: "That uncle gave the emperor a twist and got permission to do so, which shows that the uncle is not small!" Hey, Lord Lu, I still remember, Uncle promised to get me a token, is there any, is there any? ”
Qin Baichuan looked anxious, Lu Shigao laughed loudly, and said: "Ding Zhuangshi said a little, Qin Xiaoyou's performance in the Temple of Confession made the old man tremble, and the performance of your uncle was even more surprising...... Honestly, I've known him for decades, and I've never seen him so forgiving. Lu Shigao sighed, looked left and right, and saw that a few guests had already gone to check out, and did not notice here, Lu Shigao took out a small cloth bag, and after the cloth bag was opened, there was a palm-sized token wrapped in yellow satin.
Lu Shigao and Ding Sanshi all showed solemn expressions on their faces, Lu Shigao gritted his teeth, and said softly: "Qin Xiaoyou, what the old man wants to say is extremely serious, and he must not be careless. Well...... Your uncle is very fond of you, after leaving Anyang that day, he left an order and flew a pigeon to report to the emperor's permission, the emperor personally drew the pattern, the Ministry of Industry supervised the construction overnight, it took a day and a night to build, and the horse was sent to the old man, so that the old man handed it over to you. ”
"Is this the one?" Qin Baichuan had already seen the yellow satin, stretched out his hand to open the satin, and a yellow token appeared in the palm of his hand. This token is very heavy, all made of gold, Qin Baichuan weighed it casually, at least more than three hundred grams, even if it is placed in modern value, it is already expensive.
The front of the token is carved with a lifelike miniature version of the golden dragon, the golden dragon occupies one-eighth of the entire token, and at the tail of the golden dragon, there are four small characters, which are the "chief national warrior" promised by the uncle. After looking at the front, Qin Baichuan pursed his lips: "Lord Lu, you said that this token was created by the Ministry of Industry?" ”
"Of course." Lu Shigao's expression was solemn, and he nodded seriously: "In this world, such a token can be created in such a short period of time, but I am afraid that in addition to the Ministry of Industry, there is only the Chu Family Workshop." ”
"I think the people who made this token should be pulled out and beheaded." Qin Baichuan said unhappily: "You see, this golden dragon is obviously a decoration, and the following four words are the most important, right?" But the person who created this token is good, put the golden dragon so big, but the chief national soldier is so small, if you don't look carefully, you can't see what this thing is! ”
Qin Baichuan was full of complaints, Lu Shigao and Ding Sanshi gasped at the same time, wiped the cold sweat on their heads, fortunately, there were no others around, Lu Shigao gritted his teeth and said: "Qin Xiaoyou, you can't talk nonsense!" The old man has already said just now that this token is drawn by the emperor himself, and the Ministry of Industry is also built according to the drawing! ”
"Your Majesty?" Qin Baichuan said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that today's holy calligraphy and painting are all unique?" Since you know how to draw, you know the priority when composing, right? Lord Lu, did you forget to teach him these things when you were a master to the emperor back then? ”
"Qin Xiaoyou!" Lu Shigao's tone was a little stern: "What you just said, just passing it out is the crime of killing your head!" Not only you, but also Splendid Villa, Wangjiang Tower, Xun Qin Ji, and even Yan Mansion will be implicated! Imperial power must not be flouted, you must not harm others and yourself, and mislead your own future! ”
"Good, good, understood, understood." Lu Shigao rarely used this kind of harsh speech to talk to himself, and Qin Baichuan also realized that he was a little excessive.
"Qin Xiaoyou, be more restrained." Lu Shigao knew that Qin Baichuan was such a character, so he didn't say much, so he sighed and explained: "The emperor didn't discuss this token with the old man, and it was the first time I saw it. However, you have a sentence that is right, today's holy calligraphy and painting are a must, this kind of reversal of priorities is not unaware of him, according to the old man, it is intentional. ”
"How?" Qin Baichuan was a little confused.
"Let's talk about you Qin Xiaoyou first, you act in a dissolute and uninhibited style, when you were in the Chu family's workshop, you even dared to refute the face of the righteous king, right? The emperor deliberately magnified the golden dragon, just to remind you that you must not be too sharp, let alone have the intention of subverting the imperial power! Lu Shigao reminded with a positive color.
"Well, that makes sense." Qin Baichuan listened to it this time and nodded seriously.
"The title promised by the emperor himself, the chief national soldier, represents a kind of identity, a right, this identity and power succumb to the imperial power, the emperor's intention seems to be to remind you, although he gave you this power, but I hope you will keep your eyes on the dark and don't swagger." After all, Lu Shigao has had a relationship with the emperor for decades, so many ways can be seen from a small piece of token.
