Xue Chongxun glanced at the man lying on the ground with his hair scattered, and muttered: "You killed someone, and the human and material evidence is conclusive." I can spare you the death penalty, but you can't escape the crime, so let's go into exile...... Our Shanzhou is the border pass, and it is the time to employ people, so I will exile you here to continue to lead the troops......"

Zhang Qi, who joined the judicial army, was stunned and speechless. This Chen Shitang's ancestors were originally from Shanzhou, and exile is still in his hometown?

And Chen Shitang was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you for the grace of the lord not to kill, and I am willing to serve the dog before and after the saddle!" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "I asked about the garrison yesterday, there is a swimming battalion in Shanzhou, and the strength of the three regiments is all composed of criminals exiled here, so you can manage the swimming battalion as a criminal. ”

Originally, Xue Chongxun wanted to directly acquit Chen Shitang, but after thinking about it for a while, it would be more appropriate to let him carry the charges.

When he first arrived in Shanzhou, it was said that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, but Xue Chongxun was actually very cautious. Yesterday, he killed that long history, he thought about the pros and cons, and only blamed that arrogant and arrogant, quite a bit of Yang Xiu's virtue; Xue Chongxun first checked the background of the long history in the name of investigating corruption, and found that there was no backstage and family. So he ordered a knife to cut the matter.

Now that Chen Shitang's case involves another local family, the Zhou family, Xue Chongxun has to be cautious, and he offends the influential local clans for no reason, isn't he full of food? But Xue Chongxun thinks that the Zhou family did so many things and did not hesitate to grudge with the Chen Shitang family, it was definitely not for the revenge of a woman, the purpose was to protect the reputation of the Zhou family, and the daughter who married out committed adultery was a bad reputation! So they had to wash their reputation. Therefore, Xue Chongxun let Chen Shitang continue to carry the crime of murder on his back, which fulfilled the reputation of the Zhou family, and it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

After saying this, Xue Chongxun turned back to Zhang Qi and said, "Untie his chain and let him go in a moment." Then he turned and left.

After walking out of the dungeon, sure enough, Wang Changling said with some relief: "The lord kills three birds with one stone, he is really clever." ”

Where did you kill three birds with one stone? Xue Chongxun was stunned, but he didn't think it through.

The group returned to the signing room for a while, and it was already noon, just in time to have lunch at the public house. When Xue Chongxun finished eating and rinsing and drinking tea, a servant came in and reported: "Chen Tuanlian's brother and sister ask to see the envoy." ”

It must be that gratitude is coming, Xue Chongxun said in his heart while passing people in.

After a while, a man and a woman stepped into the threshold of the signing room, and after coming in, they knelt down and bowed without saying a word, naturally thanking Xue Chongxun for saving his life. Xue Chongxun quietly looked at the woman first, he was not lustful, but he was curious, what Chen Shitang's sister was like.

I saw that Chen Zhenzhen was not very beautiful, there was a faint red halo on her cheeks, and there was a lot of wind and sand in Shanzhou, and many women had this characteristic, although it looked like a blush at first glance, but it did affect her appearance. Her eyebrows are also very thick, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but fortunately, her skin is quite white compared to the locals, which is pleasing to the eye. I also saw that Chen Shitang's eyebrows, eyes and nose looked very similar to his sister...... Xue Chongxun wondered, and thought with a dirty stomach, would Chen Shitang have the illusion that he was making love with such a woman who looked similar?

Xue Chongxun stood up from the screen painted with the minions of fierce beasts, and didn't say anything to the brothers and sisters kneeling in the middle of the house, but only said to one of the attendants beside him: "Go to the inner house and call Cheng Ting out to talk to the little lady of the Chen family." After that, he walked up to Chen Shitang and said, "Kneel here, come out with me." ”

Chen Shitang got up suspiciously, and followed Xue Chongxun to the courtyard of the second hall. At this time, Xue Chongxun asked without looking back, "What weapon do you use?" ”

Chen Shitang bowed down and said: "Humble duty is used in the battle array. ”

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "Very good, people from a family of military generals will use this as a symbol of status." He walked to a row of wooden shelves and pulled out a long weapon, "It is one zhang eight long, it takes three years to manufacture, it is light, tough, and strong." After saying that, he took off the horizontal knife at his waist, and lightly tapped the barrel with the back of the knife, and heard a few clanging sounds, although it was a wooden barrel, but there was a sound of metal impact.

Xue Chongxun played with it for a while, and then threw the horse lance in his hand towards Chen Shitang, "Such a long spear can only exert its power on a horse, you pick a horse and play with me." ”

Chen Shitang was stunned and said: "The knife and gun have no eyes, I am afraid that I will hurt the lord." ”

Xue Chongxun laughed, pointed at him with the scabbard and said, "Your tone is too big, I didn't dare to say that before!" Let the horses come! ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the stable, pointed to a skinny horse, and walked around the yard to get in touch with the horse. Chen Shitang saw that he had already risen, and it was not easy to twist anymore, so he directly chose a tall horse, turned on the back of the horse and said with a smile: "The lord looks down on his humble position? deliberately chose such an inferior horse, then it was conceded. ”

Xue Chongxun slowly pulled out his horizontal knife and said with a smile: "You will know in a while, my pony specializes in spear cavalry." Nonsense, look at it, drive! With a wave of his hand, he threw away the kudzu coat he had just taken off, wearing only a piece of white satin, and kicked the horse's belly, and then rushed diagonally.

"Just in time!" Chen Shitang lifted the horse lance. The front end of the steel lance, the rear of the red copper lance, just like the two ends of the pole and the weighing pan can maintain balance, when the end of the lifting does not need too much effort. The spear and the horse, with the help of horsepower, were as unstoppable as a heavy chariot, and they went on a rampage.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xue Chongxun had turned his horse's head and ran, and did not hedge against him. He couldn't sit on that little horse, but he was very nimble, and it was quite easy to rein in.

At this time, Cheng Ting also came out, she and Chen Zhenzhen had already met, and before the two women had time to see the ceremony, they were attracted by the dusty scene of knives and guns shaking in the yard, but seeing the two men playing with real knives and guns, they also watched attentively with some apprehension.

Xue Chongxun also noticed that there were beautiful women watching the game, and his heart was very happy, this situation made him feel as if he had returned to the court when he was a student in his previous life, just because there were girls watching on the side, he sweated like rain. He was in great spirits, and after two turns, he finally went around to the back of Chen Shitang, and before he could turn around, he rode his horse and rushed over.

After the two horses approached, Xue Chongxun's horse's head was facing Chen Shitang's left side, and the impact effect of his horse spear was gone. Chen Shitang saw Xue Chongxun leaning over, and hurriedly swept the horse lance in his hand to prevent Xue Chongxun from getting closer.

"Bang!" Xue Chongxun raised his knife to block it, and suddenly felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and his strength was really not small. But after blocking the shape shì, it reversed, and the horse lance was too long and too stupid, and it was inconvenient to maneuver, Xue Chongxun slid the horizontal knife that was cut on the body of the gun downward, and the mount continued to lean forward. Seeing that the horizontal knife was about to cut Chen Shitang's hand, Chen Shitang quickly let go of one hand, and when the blade was close to the other hand, he took the opportunity to change hands and broke this move.

Xue Chongxun showed a hint of a smile, holding the hilt of the knife with both hands and gently pulling it into Chen Shitang's arms, and the sound of "dang" was blocked by the hilt of the gun, and Xue Chongxun was waiting to send the tip of the knife forward...... Now Chen Shitang can't pull this trick no matter what.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Chen Shitang's body suddenly tilted and rolled off the horse, and then slammed his shoulder into the chest of the horse where Xue Chongxun was sitting. Chen Shitang is not burly, but he has a lot of strength, and Xue Chongxun's pony was frightened and threw him off the horse.

Xue Chongxun got up, spit out a mouthful of sand, and said indignantly: "It's actually a fool!" Now let's fight on foot, and I'll see how you fight me with your lance. ”

Chen Shitang buried his head and looked at the emptiness on his waist, and said bitterly: "I admit defeat in my humble position." ”

Xue Chongxun laughed: "Playing tricks is not my opponent. ”

Chen Shitang said depressedly: "I just went to the saber, otherwise the victory or defeat is undecided." ”

At this moment, his sister Chen Zhenzhen interjected: "My brother is not the opponent of the envoy, what else is he trying to do, hum!" ”

Seeing this, the onlookers hurriedly applauded loudly, and then a farts came to their faces...... Chen Shitang led the horse over and made a salute with his fists. Xue Chongxun also hurriedly put away the horizontal knife, hugged his fists and saluted "General Chen admitted", and made a gesture to each other.

Chen Shitang gradually recovered from the nervous concentration just now, and began to pat the horse's fart, but his level as a person who has been a group trainer is naturally higher than that of those petty officials and petty officials, it is simply seamless, and this thing cannot be regarded as a horse's fart when it reaches a certain level. He said: "I didn't expect the envoy to be very good at military affairs. ”

Xue Chongxun remembered the two big defeats he had fought, and said in amazement: "How can you say this? ”

Chen Shitang said solemnly: "The main horse team of our Tang Army is mainly cavalry wearing two bells of armor and holding spears, which has strong impact power, but the maneuver and maneuver are inferior to those of the Youzu people, so it is equipped with a flexible 'Hu Cavalry Battalion', which is responsible for vigilance and reconnaissance. The horse lance used by the lord to deal with me was the tactics of the Hu cavalry battalion of the Tang Army, which has far-reaching meaning and makes people think deeply. ”

"Is that so?" Xue Chongxun glared and said, "The Chang'an Forbidden Army doesn't have the configuration of the Hu Cavalry Battalion, and it's the first time I've heard of this thing." ”

Chen Shitang was suddenly a little embarrassed, and coped with two sentences.

Xue Chongxun smiled heartily: "But what you said is strange in my heart, I am comfortable, I will stay and drink two cups for a while...... Young uncle, you come too. ”

Several bureaucrats chatted in the courtyard for a while, and the relationship between Cheng Ting and Chen Zhenzhen next to them also developed rapidly.

Before the time arrived, Xue Chongxun took the Chen family brothers and sisters and others back to the inner house to drink, completely ignoring government affairs. The atmosphere is harmonious and happy, Cheng Ting has to cook a few dishes for everyone on a whim, and Chen Zhenzhen also said that she has made a few Shanzhou special dishes, and she has been busy for a while.

Chen Shitang was born in a family of military generals, and he didn't know anything about poetry and songs, so of course he couldn't talk about literature and ink, so he talked about military affairs. Speaking of Hezhou, Yaozhou and other places that were attacked and harassed by the Tubo Tuguhun cavalry and broke several counties, Wang Changling couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not yet returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain. ”G
