Chapter 65: Heroes
As soon as the words came out, and then looked at Qin Qiong's puzzled and dazed face, Ling Yun finally came back to his senses, hey, he was too excited to see Qin Qiong, so that he confused the romance with the real history. This can't be blamed on him, when it comes to the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qin Shubao is definitely a well-deserved number one hero. Speaking of the story of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Second Brother Qin must be the protagonist. Ling Yun listened to Shan Tianfang's Sui and Tang Dynasty romances when he was a child, and he was full of admiration for the second brother of Bo Yuntian, who was righteous inside, and Qin Shubao was definitely the absolute idol of the heavenly king in the Sui and Tang dynasties. So much so that when he heard Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao's name, he was in a trance for a while, and he blurted out a few words that seemed inexplicable to others.
"This son, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao in Licheng of Xia Qizhou, are just a pawn of the new Jianzhou governor who came to the public account, but he can't be praised by this son. Although they met in the water, they saw that the road was uneven and someone stepped on it, and they just did what they had to do. Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, and replied with some embarrassment on his face, he didn't have any other thoughts, he just thought that the other party had just been in danger and was rescued by them, so he said such exaggerated words of gratitude for a while.
Ling Yun carefully looked at Shubao who jumped down immediately at this time, and saw that he was six feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his shoulders folded, a folding scarf on his head, and a yellow Sui army robe and soap-colored boots. A square-shaped face, the face is like pale gold, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, some short whiskers only slightly emerge under the chin, and a yellow horse in the crotch, people are like tigers and horses, such as dragons, horses are also spirits, and people are also mighty. A pair of tiled gold in his hand set off his majesty.
Although he was a little too young, and he was slightly different from the second brother Qin in his mind, he still couldn't help but let Ling Yun sigh in his heart, and he really deserved to be the first hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao.
"In any case, I have to thank Brother Qin for saving me with righteousness, and I have to thank this son and all the brothers." Ling Yun smiled and stepped forward to thank him. Although the current Shubao is only here to protect his own soldiers, this will not reduce his heroic image in Ling Yun's heart at all, not to mention, just now thanks to his rescue of Fu Yi. For Lai Liulang, Ling Yun also said a lot of praise. The two names of Lai Huer and Lai Liulang Lingyun are not unfamiliar, in the romance, Lai Huer is the military envoy of Shandong Soldiers and Horses, known as the iron spear general, is the second of the four fierce, and Qin Qiong has a bad relationship, and later when the heroes rebelled against Shandong, Lai Huer was killed by Luo Shixin, and in some stories, Lai Huer has a good relationship with Qin Qiong, is a partial general in Jinan, and later when he hit Wagang Mountain, he was killed by the big sword Wang Junke.
However, in the real history at this time, Lai Hu'er was a fierce general, who had fought with the famous generals He Ruobi, Yang Su, and Li Mi's father Li Kuan and others, and he was indeed an iron spear, famous for his bravery, and was very appreciated by Yang Jian, the son of heaven, and now he has just been promoted to the governor of Jianzhou. According to Lingyun's memory, although this Lai Hu'er has just been promoted to the county prince, in the near future, he will be awarded the title of Duke Rongguo, and in the future of the Great Sui's several expeditions to Liao, Lai Hu'er will be the marshal of the water and land, commanding the sailors to cross the sea and conquer Liao. This is a brave veteran, who once broke into the enemy's banquet hall with one hand and killed people and then fled, and once led a large army across the sea to attack the city of Pyongyang in Goryeo. He is not unfamiliar with the name of Lai Liulang, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were flames and rebellions, and there were rumors about all the rebels at that time, and they were most afraid of Lai Liulang.
He didn't expect that he would actually meet Qin Qiong and Lai Liulang in such a place and at such a time.
Lai Liulang also stepped forward and said, "These thieves are too arrogant, blocking the road and robbing under the blue sky and daylight, and killing innocents indiscriminately. ”
Ling Yun shook his head and said, "Liulang doesn't know, these men in black are not ordinary bandits and horse thieves, they are actually the dead soldiers of the crown prince, the black iron guard. They had attacked X many times before, wanting to kill X, but they didn't expect to chase them all the way here, and they also affected many Xingyang Zheng family convoys passing by. ”
Lai Liulang originally thought that Ling Yun and the others were also from the Zheng family's team in Xingyang, and thought that it was a horse thief who had taken a fancy to the Zheng family's property and wanted to kill people, rob money, and kidnap tickets, but he didn't expect that the other party would be the prince's person. Lai Liulang's father is a frontier member of the imperial court, and naturally he knows that there is indeed a secret guard called the Black Iron Guard next to the prince. Knowing that he and the others had just beaten the black iron guard of the crown prince Yang Guang, he was frightened into a cold sweat. Although Lai Hu'er has just been promoted to the governor of any state and has been promoted to the rank of county prince, there are not a hundred but eighty governors of the Great Sui, and there are even more county dukes. At the moment, I couldn't help but exclaim, I don't know what to do.
Qin Shubao was also taken aback, but he barely kept his composure and asked, "But I don't know why they ambushed you here with their heads covered and their faces covered, and they refused to let go of even innocent passers-by?" ”
Lingyun said: "Under the Jin, the king of Jin joined the army, and this time he was ordered to go to Liaodong on business. ”
"If that's the case, why did the Black Iron Guard ambush you?" Qin Qiong still felt that this was not a reason.
"Uncle Qin has good eyesight," Ling Yun praised, but no longer concealed it, and said directly: "It's not a secret, in addition to being a soldier under the King of Jin, Cao joined the army, he is also the illegitimate son of the King of Jin who has been separated for many years, and he has just recently re-recognized the King of Jin." ”
This news is even more shocking than the man in black who was told just now that he is the crown prince Black Iron Guard, Lai Liulang and Qin Shubao almost immediately woke up to why Ling Yun said earlier that he had been ambushed by the Black Iron Guard several times, everyone knows that Queen Dugu is jealous today, not only does she not let her husband spoil other women, even her own son, but she also can't see them favoring concubines. The prince fell out of favor, and the grapevine rumored that it was said to have a lot to do with his Pang Xin concubine Yun Zhaoxun and snubbed the princess Yuan, he gave birth to ten sons with several concubines, but there was no princess out of the princess, a few years ago the princess suddenly died, when Dugu Hou said that the Yuan family was poisoned by the Yun family. And the second prince Yang Guang, the king of Jin, is famous in the world, and he is very liked by the two saints, and there is a very important reason for this, that is, because he is not a woman, and he is in harmony with the princess of Jin, Yang Guang only has two sons, and they are all from Concubine Xiao.
Now that Yang Guang has such a big illegitimate child, this is a big news, if it spreads and lets the emperor and empress know, then it will be absolutely bad news for Yang Guang, and for the prince, the character of the two brothers has been flattened.
Although he knew the answer, he didn't feel any more relaxed at all. He never thought that when he saw that the road was uneven for a while, he drew his sword to help, and he was actually involved in the most dangerous battle between the prince and the king of Jin. He even understood why Ling Yun wanted to sue him for this. Shouldn't his illegitimate identity be as secret as possible?
Of course, Ling Yun knew that his identity had to be kept low-key and secret, and the less people knew, the better. But since it was Qin Shubao and Lai Liulang who had met him, Ling Yun didn't intend to lie to them. Besides, they just helped themselves, and it was very unrighteous to deceive them at this time, and if they saved themselves, it would be tantamount to inadvertently offending the prince's party, and if the matter spread, it would be very unfavorable to them. It is also for their good to say these things now, so that they can take precautions as soon as possible. Of course, the biggest reason is that Ling Yun doesn't want to leave a bad impression in front of them and lose the opportunity to make friends with these two because of lying for a while. He had already made up his mind in his heart that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must find a way to befriend Shubao and Rokuro. These two are not only young heroes, but also the Lai Hu'er behind them is also a very influential figure.
"Brother Qin, I don't want to lie to you, today the two of you are righteous, but they also inadvertently offended the prince's party. The prince may be angry with the prince because of this, and now tell the truth, you can also take some precautions early. ”
Lai Liulang was a little confused, and said listlessly: "Thank you Brother Yi for your honesty, hey, I didn't expect to cause such trouble." ”
"Actually, there is no need to sigh like this, the prince is acting so recklessly, and he will definitely not be the future master. However, the king of Jin, who has always been wise, this time you offended the prince because of us, if the prince is angry with the coming family because of this in the future, the king of Jin will not stand idly by. Ling Yun comforted.
Lai Liulang couldn't get up easily, what Ling Yun said made some sense, but this premise was completely on the side of King Jin. Rairokuro didn't know if this result was good or bad, and he was depressed in his heart. Regardless of Ling Yun's overtures, he hurriedly said goodbye and left in a hurry with his uncle. After all, how to choose to come to the house has to be decided by Laihu'er. Now I'm coming to Rokuro, but I'm in a hurry to go back and tell my father all the trouble I just caused.
"Why did Saburo just let them go like this?" Pei Li said on the side. He naturally knew the name of Lai Hu'er, a fierce general, speaking of which, the governor of Jianzhou, it was also one of the forty-four prefectures in Jiangdong under the jurisdiction of Yang Guang, the king of Jin. It's just that there was no intimacy between him and King Jin in the past, and if he took this opportunity to bring him over, it would be a big credit.
"Don't rush for a while!" Ling Yun waved his hand, sometimes, you are too enthusiastic, and you will only scare people away. Lingyun only needs to express enough gratitude and honesty, and then propose a good proposal. He believed that Laihu'er knew how to choose, and he would always have a chance to meet them again with Qin Qiong. After all, didn't Lai Rokuro just say that the convoy that came to the house was not far away, and he was going to stop at Hakuba City tonight, so he would have to visit him then.
Here Lailiu and Qin Qiong were sullenly bowing their heads and rushing back, and they were running, when suddenly there was a burst of smoke in front, and a large group of people appeared, when the first young man carried a hideous iron lance, blocked the way, and shouted, his voice was like thunder: "Oh, the thief is leaving!" ”
Lai Liulang looked up, only to see a team of men and horses rushing out in front of him, the person in front of him, with a red face, a big beard, a tall man and a big horse, powerful and burly, followed by dozens of horses rushing straight ahead. Seeing that they were all fierce and not like good people, the first reaction of Lailiu was that the reinforcements of those black-clothed men who had just retreated were coming, and he didn't have time to think about it at that time, so he raised the iron gun and shouted: "The thief is killed!" "Shoot the horse straight up.
Qin Qiong saw that Lai Liulang didn't agree with the general, so he had to call a brother behind him and ask him to rush to the back to report the situation on Yi Gongzi's side, and then put up a double sword to kill the general.
Ling Yun was cleaning up the battlefield when he suddenly saw a personal guard who came to the house and returned, reporting that he had been ambushed by thieves in front of him. After the guard told the appearance of the person who came and dressed up the weapon, Wang Bao next to him suddenly slapped his leg and shouted, "It's not good, the water has washed the Dragon King Temple, and the one holding the nail-headed weapon is the second brother of Erxianzhuang, that is his golden nail jujube yang lance, he has always been red-faced, and there is a red beard on his face, he must have been invited by Wei Bao to rescue, but he didn't want to misunderstand with the Liulang Qin brothers." ”
When Ling Yun heard that there was such a big oolong, he was also shocked at that time, Nima, Second Brother Shan and Second Brother Qin were fighting, no matter which one killed which, it was really going to die.
"Come forward and lead the way, go!" Ling Yun quickly turned on his horse and hurried to persuade him. While galloping on his horse, Ling Yun secretly prayed to himself, but it was better not to have an accident.
