Chapter 79: Volunteering
"Who is this Liang Chenggongzi? It's okay to be called a distinguished guest by the family members of the guards who are above the top, how can even Yang Yuer know him? Among the children of powerful and high-ranking officials in the Great Sui, have you never heard of the name Liang Cheng?! β
Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian, who almost went to bed together and rolled the sheets, were eye to eye here, but Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng next to him was taken aback, and he couldn't think of it when he broke his head, and there was such a powerful son on the Great Sui, who had never heard of the name, but was respected as a distinguished guest by the family of Emperor Wei Xuan, and at the same time was familiar with Yang Yu'er, whose status was far above his own family! Secretly frightened, Li Jiancheng not only immediately made up his mind to make friends with Chen Yingliang, but also applauded and smiled: "Great, I didn't expect Miss Yang and Liang Gongzi to know each other, since this is the case, then we don't have to distinguish between inside and outside, just go to the private room and sit down, Miss Yang and Liang Gongzi's senior servants, how about letting them sit in the hall with the servants below?" β
Li Shimin glanced at Chen Yingliang, and then at Yang Yu'er, he was also very curious about Chen Yingliang's identity, so he nodded and said: "What my brother said is very true, the younger brother is happy to obey his fate, but I don't know what Miss Yang and Sister Qian'er think?" β
Yang Yuer has personally admitted that Chen Yingliang is her friend, Chai Qian saw that Chen Yingliang was no longer pleasing to the eye and was embarrassed to refuse, so she immediately nodded in agreement, as a result, it was the only Yang Yuer who knew the inside story, knowing that it was a misunderstanding, and also knowing that Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian had been together for a long time, and a little carelessness might cause death, but everyone had already agreed, and Yang Yuer, who had a kind and gentle personality, was not easy to refuse, so she had to nod her head and said, "Very good." β
It was difficult to change Chen Yingliang, and Chen Yingliang couldn't get along with Yang Yuer closely, of course, he couldn't ask for it, but with Zhao Cheng and Yu Le, the two **** soldiers beside him, Chen Yingliang, who had always shared weal and woe with his soldiers, was a little embarrassed to throw them in the hall and drink alone. Fortunately, Zhao Yu's younger brother Zhao Cheng is a well-behaved boy, and when he saw Chen Yingliang's embarrassment, he took the initiative to say: "Childe, then you can accompany Li Gongzi and Miss Chai to dinner, we will drink with the brothers in the Wei Mansion outside, don't worry about us." β
After that, Zhao Cheng pulled Yu Le, who had not fully recovered himself, to sit aside, Chen Yingliang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arranged for four Weifu family members to drink with them, and he followed Li Jiancheng and others into the only empty private room, and sat down with the Li family brothers, Chai Qian, and Yang Yuer. During the period, when Li Jiancheng, who volunteered to pay out of his pocket, to order food, Li Shimin suddenly asked Chen Yingliang: "Liang Gongzi, your two entourages should be soldiers in the army, right?" Could it be that Childe is also behind the gate? β
"Second son, how do you know that they are soldiers in the army?" Chen Yingliang's surprise is not trivial.
"The two entourages of the son sit with straight waists, slightly divided legs, and hands according to the case, which is a typical sitting posture of the officers and soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty." Li Shimin replied truthfully: "In addition, the younger brother also paid attention to the fact that the two of them had very thick calluses on their right hands, which should be the traces left by holding the weapon for many years, so the younger brother dared to speculate that the two of them should be soldiers in the army, and the son can take the sergeant as his entourage, but his age is not like an officer, so the younger brother dared to speculate that the son should be behind the gate." β
Chen Yingliang opened his mouth wide, and looked at Li Shimin, who only had one thought left in his heart, "Li Er is Li Er, and he really deserves his reputation!" Such a small detail, even I, a person who has been eating by solving cases for many years, will not pay special attention to it! This Li Er is definitely not easy to deal with! β
Secretly vigilant in his heart, Chen Yingliang, who had outstanding acting skills, showed a vivid look of shock on his face, and exclaimed: "Virtuous brother is talented!" If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears, the foolish brother really couldn't believe that there was such a strange thing in the world, just by one person's clothing and behavior, he could analyze the identity and origin of the other party! Yes, they are indeed lieutenants and soldiers! β
"Brother Liang has won the award." Li Er smiled slightly, and asked again: "Then Brother Liang, the junior brother dared to guess that you were behind the gate, I don't know if I guessed wrong?" β
"That's right." Chen Yingliang, who is indeed behind the gate now, nodded hurriedly, and said: "Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, the foolish brother has some distant relatives with Li Guogong, and respects Li Guogong as his uncle, these two Great Sui soldiers are the subordinates of General Xie Zichong, the right military guard, General Xie looked at his uncle's face, and temporarily lent the foolish brother as a guard for a few days. β
"Pei Hongce's relatives? Troublesome, Wen Xi Pei's family Ding Xingwang, Pei Hongce's nephew has not one thousand but eight hundred, how can you further analyze his identity and origin? Li Er was a little worried, so he had to ask again: "Then dare to ask Liang Gongzi, who is the family, and what position do the elders of the family hold in the court?" β
Chen Yingliang was a little embarrassed, and he didn't think that Chai Qian, who almost rolled the quilt with Chen Yingliang, relieved her former fiancΓ©, and interrupted: "Erlang, you can inquire about other people's identities and origins, and then ask later, okay?" Now help me get an idea, how to find Chen Yingliang, that thief, and arrest him back to avenge me! β
Chen Yingliang took the opportunity to close his mouth, peeked at Yang Yuer, and found that Yang Yuer happened to come to see him secretly, and spit out his lilac tongue, making a playful and cute grimace, as if he was laughing at himself for being friends with the enemy's enemy, and his cute and delicate appearance made Chen Yingliang, who had long been uneasy and kind to Yang Yuer, even more springy, and couldn't wait to woo Yang Yuer immediately, and immediately go to the hotel to open a room as in the 21st century, and then exchange QQ and WeChat accounts to facilitate the next appointment.
"Sister Qian, it's not that I won't help you." Li Er said helplessly: "There is really no way, Daxing City is so big, the enemy Chen Yingliang we want to find you is like looking for a needle in a haystack, how do you tell us to find it?" Instead of wasting our energy, it is better to wait for the news from Daxing County, they have a large number of people and are familiar with the situation of the people, and the hope of finding Chen Yingliang is far greater than ours. β
Yang Yu'er also glanced at Chen Yingliang quietly, and said in her heart: "Don't look for it, it's far away in the sky, it's close in front of you." β
"Don't expect those dry food wastes in Daxing County!" Chai Qian said angrily: "My brother personally went to the county government this morning, and brought a large group of family members who had seen the thief to help, but until now, I haven't even seen the shadow of the thief!" Those rice buckets, maybe Chen Yingliang's thieves slipped out of the city from under their noses, and they couldn't see it or catch it! β
"But how do we find it? We don't even know what that thief looks like. Li Er smiled bitterly, and after a little calculation, Li Er said again: "That's it, Sister Qian'er, you tell me the specific situation of that thief, the more detailed the better, I'll see if there is any way to find ......." β
"Erlang!" Li Jiancheng suddenly interrupted the second brother's words, gave the second brother another look, and then turned to Chai Qian and said: "Sister Qian'er, it's not that the elder brother said that you brothers and sisters, your brothers and sisters have also made too much trouble this time, and for personal revenge, they even used the government to search the whole city, once this matter spreads, I am afraid that not only will your brother and sister's reputation be damaged, but the Duke of Cheshire will also be implicated." Listen to the foolish brother's advice, forget about this matter, since that Chen Yingliang has already escaped, let him go, stop pestering, be careful of losing both sides in the future. β
"Li Jiancheng is a good person." The party Chen Ying secretly praised in his conscience, and said in his heart: "If the Chai family is willing to listen to his advice, at least they will not die too miserably in the future." β
"Forget it?!" Chai Qian, who hated Chen Yingliang so much that her chest hurt, was furious, and said angrily: "That thief ruined my innocent reputation like this, and you even said forget it?" If I don't chop up that thief with my own hands, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart! β
Li Jiancheng's face was a little unsightly, but outsiders were present, and Li Jiancheng was embarrassed to quarrel with his relatives, so he had to turn to Chen Yingliang and Yang Yu'er, and forced a smile and said: "Miss Yang, Liang Gongzi, let you laugh, my sister is this hot-tempered and spoiled by the elders, don't mind." β
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Yang Yu'er smiled, her expression was extremely moving.
"It's a small thing." Chen Yingliang also smiled slightly, and said with a pun: "Of course, everyone's ladies are dignified and gentle, and it is normal for people to have a little temper. Miss Yang, don't you say? β
Yang Yu'er shut up and didn't dare to say anything, Chai Qian glared angrily at Chen Yingliang, who was already unpleasant, and Li Jiancheng secretly praised Chen Yingliang for his temperament and demeanor - when he encountered such a thing, he was able to restrain his curiosity and not inquire about what happened, it is really rare to have such a powerful son of the city government.
At this time, the wine and food have been sent to the private room, the dishes are as delicate and delicious as the legend, Chai Qian, who has been running around to search for the enemy for most of the day, has long been so hungry that her chest is close to her back, and she eats and drinks unceremoniously, and Yang Yu'er, who is also hungry, eats with Sven, with elegant and charming movements, and looks at Chen Yingliang, who is talking with Li Jiancheng and clinking glasses, is itching in her heart, and she just can't wait to find a chance to talk to Yang Yuer alone, and spit out the pain of lovesickness in her heart.
Chen Yingliang was secretly looking at Yang Yu'er, and Li Shimin next to him was also quietly observing Chen Yingliang, because Li Shimin had already discovered that Chen Yingliang's appearance seemed to be somewhat similar to the portrait of the wanted warrant plastered all over the city today, but even if Li Jiancheng was allowed to hack Li Shimin to death in turn, Li Shimin didn't dare to think that the distinguished guest of the Wei Mansion and Yang Yuer's friend Liang Cheng in front of him was the poor boy Chen Yingliang, the big enemy of his brother-in-law's family! With a little doubt and curiosity, Li Shimin asked Chen Yingliang in a roundabout way: "Liang Gongzi, I haven't asked you where you came from and when did you arrive in Daxing?" β
"I came from Luoyang, the eastern capital, and arrived in Daxing the day before yesterday." Chen Yingliang said casually, "Uncle Li Guogong sent me to Daxing to have some personal matters to do, because the Yang rebellion had just been quelled, and the road was not peaceful enough, so he borrowed some troops from General Xie to serve as my guard." β
"From the eastern capital of Luoyang?" Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Liang Gongzi, then have you seen the Chen Ji room who became famous in this Eastern Capital War?" It is the Chen Ji room of Zanzhi Mansion in Henan, and he is nicknamed Xiao Chen Qingzhi. β
"Of course I do." Chen Yingliang smiled: "Brother Jiancheng has forgotten? My uncle Li Guogong is Henan Zanzhi, the Chen Ji room, and also my uncle's confidant! β
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, who were preparing to envelop someone with all their might according to their father's orders, were overjoyed, and their attitude towards Chen Yingliang was suddenly polite, and they asked in unison: "Liang Gongzi, what is the full name of that Chen Ji room?" Where are the people? What is your family background? β
"Brother Jiancheng, Brother Shimin, what do you care about ...... of these?" Chen Yingliang was a little dazed, he really didn't know that the Li family brothers would be so interested in him.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious about the situation of this little Chen Qingzhi, so I asked a few more words, and asked the virtuous brother to tell me the truth." Li Jiancheng replied with a smile.
Glancing at Yang Yu'er, seeing that Yang Yu'er was listening attentively to the answer between himself and Li Jiancheng, Chen Yingliang, who didn't pay attention to Chai Qian, was actually listening, suddenly came to his senses, and said without blushing: "What is the name of that Chen Ji room, in fact, I don't know, because his nickname of little Chen Qingzhi is too famous, and the whole Luoyang people call him that, so I also called it that, so I didn't inquire about his real name carefully." I don't know much about his family background, I only know how he went before and after several battles in the Eastern Capital, and I saw his majesty on the battlefield with my own eyes! β
"Really? Brother Xian, please come quickly. Li Jiancheng was most interested in this, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to urge, and personally filled Chen Yingliang's empty wine glass.
finally caught an opportunity to show himself in front of his crush, as a normal man, Chen Yingliang of course sold enough strength to brag, as a third-party outsider, boasted of his already fierce achievements even more strongly, focusing on boasting of his invincibility on the battlefield, both wisdom and bravery, calm and calm, invulnerable, Yushu in the wind, personable, admired by girls, ......and envied by men. As a result, what made Chen Ying's conscience bloom was that Yang Yuer not only kept listening to his self-boasting, but also took the initiative to ask, "Liang Gongzi, how old is the Chen Ji room, who is known as Little Chen Qingzhi?" β
"About your age." Chen Yingliang hurriedly replied: "Miss Yang, that Chen Ji room is the same age as you, not too old. I heard that he has not yet married, and he has not yet married, so my uncle Li Guogong often regrets not having a daughter, otherwise, my uncle would have recruited him as a son-in-law. β
"So young?" Yang Yu'er was a little surprised.
"So young?" Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers were even more surprised, and then Li Shimin, who had the best relationship with his sister Li Xiuning and knew some things, also glanced at Chai Qian, who was also listening intently, and his heart was moved, and he said secretly: "If the Cheshire Duke can really recruit that little Chen Qingzhi as a son-in-law and let him become my Li Valve's side branch, it would be a good deal." β
"Yes, that young and handsome man in the Chen Ji room is really unbelievable." Chen Yingliang sighed with emotion, and rarely blamed himself: "So my uncle often blames me, scolding me for not learning and wasting time. β
"Brother Xian, don't say that." Li Jiancheng took over the conversation and said with a wry smile: "You are scolding me by saying this, the foolish brother is much older than you, and he doesn't even have a formal official position now, so it is more accurate to scold me with the word waste of time." β
After smiling bitterly, Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to say to Chen Yingliang: "Brother Xian, since you know Chen Ji Room and have the relationship with Li Guogong, I heard that Chen Ji Room is going to stay with the guard, I don't know if Brother Xian can introduce one or two to Brother Fool, so that Brother Fool can also look up to the peerless style of Chen Ji Room and tell his admiration in person?" β
"No problem, it's on the little brother." Chen Yingliang agreed - Chen Yingliang's first impression of Li Jiancheng was quite good, and at the same time, in order to prevent accidents, Chen Yingliang was also happy to befriend the ultimate victor in history.
Li Jiancheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Chen Yingliang again and again, and took the initiative to say: "Brother Xian, Brother Yu lives in the neighboring Wubenfang, and it is not far from the mansion left behind by the guard. β
"Sister?" Chen Yingliang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered that the legendary Lao Li's daughters were of good quality, and hurriedly said: "Then it is better to be respectful, and when the younger brother does what his uncle has explained, he will definitely visit his brother's mansion." β
Li Jiancheng nodded with a smile, and Chen Yingliang, who had always been greedy enough, turned to Yang Yu'er again, and asked with a smile: "Miss Yang, I wonder if you are interested in meeting that little Chen Qingzhi's Chen Ji room?" If Miss Yang is willing, I can introduce you to it at that time. β
"It's ......." Yang Yu'er hesitated for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Okay, if I have the opportunity, I also want to meet the legendary little Chen Qingzhi to see if he is really as invincible as the rumored heroes." β
Chen Yingliang was overjoyed, and quickly nodded again and again, patting his chest and promising to introduce Yang Yu'er, but unfortunately Chai Qian, who almost rolled the sheet with Chen Yingliang, stood up and pulled hatred, and asked Yang Yu'er very suspiciously: "See little Chen Qingzhi?" Didn't you say that your father was coming back? When did you come to see him? β
"The team left behind by the guard has to arrive first, my father still has some time to return to Daxing, why don't I have time?" Yang Yuer asked rhetorically with a cute little mouth.
"Since you have time, then accompany me to continue to catch that thief!" Chai Qian brought up the old matter again, and urged: "Hurry up, have you all finished eating?" Leave quickly after eating, don't let Chen Yingliang's little thief escape! β
Chai Qian, who is good at pulling hatred, is constantly urging beside her, and the time that Chen Yingliang and Yang Yuer, who finally met again, can get along is naturally greatly shortened, in Chen Yingliang's gritted teeth with resentment, it didn't take long for Yang Yuer to put down the chopsticks, and then before she could put down the bowl, Chai Qian had already pulled Yang Yuer to stand up, ready to leave the restaurant and continue to catch Chen Yingliang, but she didn't pay attention to her former fiancΓ© Chen Yingliang was already eager to eat her alive. Yang Yuer reluctantly accepted her best friend's request, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were also forced by Chai Qian to arrest people together, and the short party ended.
Full of anger and dissatisfaction, Yang Yu'er and Chai Qian and others were sent out of the door of the restaurant, and what made Chen Yingliang overjoyed was that Yang Yu'er didn't know what to say to Chai Qian and the Li brothers, so he ran back to Chen Yingliang quickly, and then didn't wait for Chen Yingliang to come back to his senses, Yang Yu'er had already whispered: "You go quickly, leave Daxing as soon as possible, the Cheshire Duke is already determined to seek revenge on you, I can't stop it, I can only cover it up for you this time." β
After that, Yang Yu'er turned around and left, Chen Yingliang first opened his mouth, and then his blood boiled, and he hurriedly shouted: "Miss Yang, please wait." β
Yang Yu'er stopped, but didn't look back, Chen Yingliang also plucked up his courage and whispered behind her: "Miss Yang, since the last time we met, I have always remembered you and often thought about you. β
After hearing Chen Yingliang's rare heartfelt words, Yang Yu'er turned her back to Chen Yingliang and didn't know what the look on her face was, she was silent for a while, and then walked away, Chen Yingliang was disappointed, but he was not very surprised, because Chen Yingliang knew very well that in the Sui Dynasty, when the imperial examination had just appeared, the distance between the gate valve family and the Hanmen was still extremely huge, and the identity gap between Yang Yuer and Chen Yingliang was even more like a chasm.
Disappointed to see Yang Yuer and others leave, a long time later, Chen Yingliang at the request of Zhao Cheng and Yu Le and others, returned to the restaurant - love xΓΉ lost between the steps and almost knocked over the takeaway food box carried by the guys in Guangjulou, and with the two **** brothers who had lived and died together after drinking until their faces were red and their necks were thick, Chen Yingliang led Zhao Cheng and Yu Le to visit the Imperial City of Daxing, and walked until the sun set, and then returned to Chongyi Fang through the most famous Vermilion Bird Street in Daxing.
During this period, although there was also a wave of officials who noticed that Chen Yingliang seemed to have some resemblance to the portrait of the wanted warrant, but before Chen Yingliang could be interrogated, the people of the Wei Mansion came forward and only said that Chen Yingliang was a distinguished guest of the old Wei family, and these officials immediately nodded and sent Chen Yingliang and his party away with a smile on their faces.
Maybe it's fate, it's more likely fate, when Chen Yingliang and his entourage came to Kaihuafang and were about to turn east to Chongyifang, Zhao Cheng suddenly pulled Chen Yingliang's sleeve, bowed in one direction on Suzaku Street, and whispered: "Chen Jiroom, look, that beautiful girl in red clothes at the beginning." β
Chen Yingliang turned his head in some surprise, and sure enough, he saw his former fiancΓ©e Chai Qian wandering around Suzaku Street with a sword, still constantly looking at passers-by, but Yang Yu'er and Li Jiancheng brothers and others had disappeared, and they didn't know where they went. Immediately afterwards, Chai Qian also happened to see Chen Yingliang and the others, and once again met Chen Yingliang's eyes and collided with each other.
What made Chen Yingliang quite angry happened, after seeing his former fiancΓ© who looked like a dog and attracted attention, when Chen Yingliang took the initiative to bow his hand, Chai Qian arrogantly pouted her small mouth and walked forward arrogantly, not to mention the due etiquette, she refused to even say hello to her former fiancΓ©. Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang, who was too lazy to pay attention to Chai Qian, was inevitably angry, so he simply left Zhao Cheng and the others and stepped forward quickly, caught up with Chai Qian and said, "Miss Chai, we meet again." β
"What's the matter?" Chai Qian's face was expressionless, and her attitude towards Chen Yingliang was extremely cold.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask, Miss Yang, where has she been?" Chen Yingliang directly asked his fiancΓ©e about the whereabouts of other girls, but he also rushed ahead of Chen Shimei, setting a glorious example for the old Chen family.
"Don't you know her? What time is it, and can she not go home yet? Chai Qian asked unceremoniously, and walked straight past Chen Yingliang.
"Stinky girl, she really deserves to be Chai Shao's sister, she is really proud." Chen Yingliang snorted coldly in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, Chen Yingliang said to Chai Qian's back again: "Miss Chai, I have seen Chen Yingliang. β
Chai Qian's footsteps stopped suddenly, and then, Chai Qian quickly turned around and asked in surprise, "Have you seen Chen Yingliang's little thief?" Where have you seen it? β
"It doesn't matter if I've seen it there, I've seen it anyway." This time, Chen Yingliang's attitude was cold, "I just want to ask you, will Miss Yang accompany you to find Chen Yingliang tomorrow?" β
"She agreed." Chai Qian nodded hurriedly.
"Then do you mind, I'll accompany you to find that Chen Yingliang tomorrow?" Chen Yingliang smiled and said: "Adding a monkey adds three points of strength, not to mention me, a big living person?" Anyway, I have some time tomorrow, if you want, I can help you find Chen Yingliang tomorrow, and one more person who knows Chen Yingliang will help you go, so there will be more hope, right? β
