Chapter 45: Encountering a Rough Girl
The next day, at noon, Ji Qingchen left the mansion and came to the mansion of the Eighth Prince. He went out this time neither in a car nor on a horse, and there was no guard by his side except Zhang Rang. He walked through the streets of King's Landing just to hear what the people of King's Landing had to say about the battle between him and Xu Zhen, the prince of Western Shu. It's just that with the discordant discussion heard in the teahouse and wine shop, his face gradually became a little gloomy. Because the discussion he heard about this competition was overwhelmingly believed that he could win, and it would give a profound lesson to the descendants of the famous general Chen Qingzhi, and let the people of Xishu know the power of Dao Dayan.
He knew that this kind of argument had now become a matter of course for the people of King's Landing, and it was inevitable that he would win Xu Zhen.
But what if he suddenly loses in the hands of Xu Zhen then? What will the people of King's Landing think? When they find that what they see is different from what they imagined, and when the contrast between the two is too great, can they accept a failure? If someone fuels the trouble, I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the people of King's Landing, and let me lose the people's hearts and prestige in King's Landing!
As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people are in the world. If he really loses the hearts of the people and loses his prestige in King's Landing, how can he compete with his brothers for the crown prince at that time?
"Your Highness!" Zhang Rang reminded in a low voice.
"En-" Ji Qingchen, who was in deep thought, immediately came back to his senses and found himself standing in the middle of the street, blocked in front of a carriage. When he looked at the carriage, he found that it was not very luxurious, but it was of exquisite workmanship, unlike ordinary people who could afford to sit on it, and because the driver of the carriage was so skilled that it would not hit him. It's just that the carriage has stopped on the street at this time, because of the effect of inertia, the horse driving has to raise its forward kick high to stop the body, and the moment the black horse's forward kick falls, it is two feet away from the top of Ji Qingchen's head.
Seeing that no one was injured, Ji Qingchen was just about to leave, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl jumping out of the car, wearing an emerald green Luo skirt. Don't you see that this is the frame of our young lady? Dare to stop this, are you cowardly? It doesn't matter if I bump into you this time, if I disturb our young lady, will you make amends? ”
The words are scathing, and he looks high-minded and domineering.
"Shut up......!" Zhang Rang immediately yelled, but before he finished his words, he was cut off by the little girl, and suddenly scolded him, "Shut up, you dead eunuch!" Then he moved his gaze to Ji Qingchen, looked up and down a few times, and began to scold.
Zhang Rang was originally a eunuch, but he pretended to travel, and deliberately disguised his voice when he spoke, and basically no one found out his identity as a eunuch when he followed Ji Qingchen, but now he was seen through his true identity by a little girl on the spot, and he froze aside for a moment, a little unsure of what to say.
Only Ji Qingchen listened to the little girl's abuse with interest, as if he was listening to a storyteller's yellow joke.
The little girl scolded enough, and was about to listen to Ji Qingchen's apology, she usually did this in the house, after scolding people, she had to listen to the other party's apology and apology before giving up, but now she waited for a long time and didn't see Ji Qingchen admit her mistake to herself, she was not lightly angry, she suddenly found herself scolding for a long time, and the noble son in front of her seemed to have nothing to do, she was suddenly enraged, "What the hell is going on with you!" Don't think that if you are good-looking, you will feel great if you have money in your family. Let me tell you, how much is it compared to money, our lord's money can be spread all over the Vermilion Bird Street in King's Landing City, if it is compared to the official, the title of our old lady is not low in Dayan. If you know each other, hurry up and apologize to this girl, and then get far away, otherwise you will blame this girl for arresting you and going to the government to ask for guilt. ”
Originally, Ji Qingchen didn't want to pay attention to this domineering and unruly little girl, after all, he blocked the other party's frame on the street, and it was also appropriate to be scolded by the other party, but at this time, when he heard that the little girl began to show off the wealth and power of her house, and she was aggressive and refused to give up, he was a little displeased, what he hated most was that the rich children relied on their family background to bully others, so his eyes were cold, and he stared at the little girl word by word and said, "Your family is very rich?" How powerful is your family? But believe it or not, as long as I say a word, your family's money will be reduced by half, and your family's title will be two levels lower? ”
"You-you-you-" Seeing Ji Qingchen's cold eyes, the little girl suddenly felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, and her body was a little chilled, and then she heard Ji Qingchen's seemingly understated words, but the tone that could not be questioned, she was frightened by this momentum for a long time and couldn't talk to herself.
"Little girl, today you remember one thing, no matter how rich and powerful your house is, this is not your own, let alone showing off to others. Also, don't take advantage of the power in the house at every turn, and do something to bully people. You are not only embarrassing to the house, but also damaging your own yin morality. Ji Qingchen said lightly, "Remember to treat people and things in the future, don't think of yourself as a character, always take out your posture in the house to talk to people, always feel that you are higher than others, always look down on these cloth-clothed people in King's Landing, always feel good about yourself, even if it is really a little foolish, in fact, the final outcome is the same, but you see yourself as complicated, to say a common saying: don't take yourself seriously." ”
After that, he ignored the stunned little girl and walked away!
"This son, please stay!" Just as Ji Qingchen turned around to leave, a heavenly cry suddenly came from the carriage.
Ji Qingchen stopped, but he didn't turn around, "I don't know if Miss has anything to say?" ”
"It's Xiaobi just now, Wei Ran is here to apologize to the son." This sentence is said very politely and humbly, without the pampering and indifference of the women of the big families.
"It's okay, I was wrong just now, and I was distracted for a while before I dared to block Miss's carriage and make Miss frightened." Ji Qingchen replied politely.
There was silence in the carriage!
"If there's nothing wrong with Miss, I'll take my leave!" Ji Qingchen knew that the other party didn't want to say more, so he strode away.
"Childe ——!" When the sound came from the carriage again, Ji Qingchen and Zhang Rang had already disappeared at the corner of the street.
When he was shopping, there was a sudden episode like this, so that Ji Qingchen didn't have to continue to listen to the discussion of the people of King's Landing about the competition between himself and Xu Zhen. He took Zhang Rangjing to the mansion of the Eighth Prince.
At this time, the eighth prince Ji Qian had just returned to the house from the barracks, and was sitting comfortably in the hall drinking tea, when he heard the housekeeper say that the Ninth Highness was visiting, he was stunned, and immediately got up to greet him.
Welcomed Ji Qingchen to the living room and sat down, and the maid served tea. The Eighth Emperor Ji Qian then spoke, "Old Jiu, yesterday you saw the means of starlings in the Kunshan military camp. Sure enough, he is worthy of being Li Qingyi's disciple, he did not bend the law for personal gain in front of the army, and angrily beheaded the main general Zhou Ning before the battle, which not only stabilized the morale and momentum of the army, but also did not cause the riot of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion because it affected too many people, and also shocked the arrogance and arrogance of the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion at once, your scheming and means really make the starling brother I admire! ”
"Starling has won the prize!" Ji Qingchen said modestly, "In fact, what kind of goods are the soldiers in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, I think the starling brother also knows very well in his heart, just by beheading one Zhou Ning, I want them not to violate military law and train hard, this is probably impossible." ”
"Alas! The same is true of this military department, you said that there are no other soldiers near King's Landing City that can be transferred, but they just gave you this group of gentlemen in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, isn't this a deliberate attempt to make it difficult for you and not let you participate in next year's school competition? The eighth prince sighed and said, "Lao Jiu, it's not the starling brother who said you, this time it's you who did something wrong, give you the Xiao cavalry camp, this is definitely not the father's idea, it may be that someone in the military department is causing trouble, you should immediately find your father now." ”
"Brother Starling's words are indeed true, but since the Ministry of War gave the Xiaocai Battalion to Qingchen, why not have the meaning of taking the school Qingchen, if Qingchen goes to his father again at this time, isn't he telling his father that his ability is not good, and he can't train the Xiaocai Battalion into an elite soldier?" Ji Qingchen naturally knew the thoughts of the Eighth Prince, so he bluntly pierced his careful thoughts.
The Eighth Emperor Ji Qianzhi Daoist Ji Qingchen saw through his careful thoughts, so he smiled and said, "What the ninth brother said is also true!" But Lao Jiu, I'm afraid that your visit to the house this time is not just as simple as chatting with me, right? ”
"Indeed, I still have something to discuss with Starling." Ji Qingchen took a sip of tea and continued, "Starling may have already known about the battle between me and Xu Zhen at the Yulin Riding School on October 30, but with the current combat effectiveness of the Xiaocai Cavalry Battalion, it is simply a fool's dream to defeat Xu Zhen's Xishu pikemen, so Qingchen wants to borrow this battalion of soldiers and horses in the hands of Starling to train and train soldiers this time. ”
"You want to train with my battalion?" The Eighth Prince Ji Qian asked a little puzzled.
"Yes!" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, and tried to compete with the Eighth Emperor Ji Qian's battalion, and wanted to use this to improve the combat effectiveness of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and briefly explained to the Eighth Prince Ji Qian.
After hearing this, the Eighth Prince Ji Qian did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before saying, "Old Jiu, I'm afraid you not only want to compete with my battalion of soldiers and horses, but also want to compete with the battalion of soldiers and horses in the hands of the second, third and fourth brothers, right?" ”
"Starling is right, that's what I thought." Ji Qingchen replied lightly.
"Training troops in combat is indeed a shortcut to military training." The Eighth Emperor Ji Qian said affirmatively, but his tone sank, "It's just Lao Jiu, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is still a group of untrained soldiers, and although the forward battalion in my hand is not as good as the third brother's spear battalion, but the strength is not much worse than Xu Zhen's Xishu pikemen. ”
"Please rest assured about this, I know it in my heart." Ji Qingchen replied.
"We are all our own brothers, since you say so, how can the starling brother not agree." The Eighth Prince Ji Qian said with a smile, "Then this competition is scheduled for the afternoon of three days, and the place is in the forward camp camp." ”
"Thank you starling for making it happen!" Ji Qingchen immediately thanked.
He found that today's Eighth Emperor Ji Qian was not as arrogant and ruthless as he was at the banquet in his mansion last time, so he talked to the Eighth Emperor Prince more, and then took his leave and left.
It's just that he wouldn't have thought that as soon as he left here, the Eighth Prince's kind smile disappeared, replaced by a mocking sneer, "Lao Jiu, this is what you asked for, don't blame the Starling for being polite at that time!" ”
