Chapter 3: He Cao (4 I)
"If it weren't for General Qian's mercy, Li Mou's three would have fallen within the face, how could they have a chance to shoot the general's arrow!" Li Xu said modestly, not daring to admit that he had won the competition.
Qian Shixiong was dressed in iron armor, and the feather arrows on his body could not make him lose his combat effectiveness at all. And desperate to shoot his face or war horse, and can't resist the kindness of his men. Therefore, Li Xu thinks that his arrow is purely opportunistic, and there is nothing to boast about if he barely wins, so it is better to admit defeat generously.
Seeing him so modest, Qian Shixiong didn't dare to admit that he had won, waved his hand, and said loudly: "If you hurt me with an arrow as soon as Fang gets on the horse, where will I have a chance to stab the first plastic." If you win, you win, and I'm not the one who can't afford to lose! โ
The two of you push me to let go, and no one will consider themselves victorious. When they were sympathizing with each other, the herald sent General Zuo Wuwei an order and ordered the two to go to the general platform for questioning. Li Xu and Qian Shixiong looked at each other and smiled, led the war horse, held the iron helmet, and walked side by side to the front of the point.
At this moment, the brothers around the school yard were so lively that they were boiling the pot in a mess. Although everyone has their own supporters, no one expected this competition to end up like this. Although the grain guards raised their eyebrows, the government soldiers also smiled and leaned back. It turns out that the rules of military exercises in the army, compared with the cavalry, the one who dismounts first loses. As long as one party dismounts, the other party must not chase and kill even if he has the intention of harming him. Therefore, when General Qian Shixiong had the upper hand, he repeatedly asked the other party to dismount and surrender, so that he could stop there. And the boy who rode the black horse actually made money and the general shot an arrow, and then ran to the general and dismounted. It is indeed impossible to judge whether you win or lose.
Everyone pointed fingers, General Qian was unlucky, and he was deceived by a hairy boy after fighting for half his life. As for the grievances between the two sides, they have long been left behind at this moment.
On the platform, General Mai Tiecane of Zuo Wuwei, General Yu Wenshu of Zuo Awei and others were also very happy. Everyone has seen cold arrows hurt people in the martial arts arena, but they have never seen cold arrows put so openly like Li Xu. I have never seen anyone who can push the opponent under the horse when he takes a step forward, but he takes the initiative to jump down and admit defeat. After laughing for a while, Mai Tiezhu ordered someone to present Qian Shixiong's helmet, looked at it repeatedly, stood up, walked to the side of the platform, and asked Li Xu: "Boy, you obviously won this battle, why do you have to admit defeat again?"
"General Qian has been merciful from the beginning, how can he not know what is good or bad. Besides, if it is really a comparison of life and death, who will give the lowly post a chance to bluff again and again! Li Xu arched his hand and replied politely.
This sentence was very much in line with Mai Tiecane's heart, and the old general secretly praised the hairy boy in front of him for knowing how to advance and retreat. nodded, turned his eyes to Qian Shixiong, and asked, "Xiao Qian, you can admit defeat in this battle!"
"The last general is incompetent, he has lost the face of the general, and he is willing to be punished!" Qian Shixiong blushed and arched his hand and replied.
"It's clear that Zhong Jian got off the horse first, how can General Qian be considered a loser!" Tang Gong Li Yuan and Liu Hongji and others also came forward and humbly retreated.
In front of the two armies, what they paid attention to was not giving in to their faces and showing no mercy when they raised their hands. No one dared to do Xiang Qian Shixiong's deliberate attempt to deviate from the long plastic, and Li Xu's practice of releasing the strings one after another was even more impossible. If the two fight to the death as soon as they get on the field, the result of this contest is indeed unpredictable.
"Shude doesn't have to be polite, it's clear that this little brother under your Mo has won, how can the old man be the one who can't afford to lose!" Mai Tiezhu became open-minded again at this moment, arched his hand at Li Yuan, and said.
Li Yuan's position was far lower than that of Mai Tiecane, so he hurriedly returned the fist. On both sides, you are Tang Gong, and I am an old general, and they are so close for a while that they are like they haven't seen old friends reunited for many years, and they put all the unhappiness behind their minds.
"In this case, according to the old man's opinion, even if the two sides are tied. I don't know what General Mai and Tang Gong will do?" Seeing that everyone had no hostility in their hearts at this moment, General Yuwen of Zuo Wei simply pushed the boat down the river and became a peacemaker.
"General Yuwen is very good at talking, if the old man is polite, won't he become that stingy person!" Mai Tiezhu turned his head, glanced at Yuwen Fan with a smile, and said.
"General Yuwenshu judged fairly, Li thanked the general for his kindness!" Li Yuan also turned his head sideways and expressed his heartfelt "gratitude" to Yu Wenshu!
The generals laughed in unison, and Dudao saw a wonderful competition today. Qian Shixiong's attainments in plastic are amazing, and the dark horse boy's bow cultivation is also extraordinary. After admiring for a while, Mai Tiezhu turned around again and said to Li Yuan: "Today is the first thing that my brother Mo caused trouble, for the sake of the old man, I hope that Tang Gong will not care."
Things have developed to such a result, which has far exceeded Li Yuan's expectations. As a down-and-out five-rank lieutenant, how could he be more serious with the third-rank general with heavy troops. said two polite words that caused his subordinates to be pampered and arrogant because of the lax discipline, and revealed the matter with a smile.
At that moment, Li Yuan called Liu Hongji and ordered him to make amends to the old general. Mai Tiezhu avoided it, pulled Liu Hongji's arm, and said: "The old lady is old and confused, it is inevitable that it is not light or heavy. Hit you with a whip, and don't want to go to your heart. After that, he ordered someone to take a big horizontal knife that had been tempered for thousands of years, which was regarded as an apology to Liu Hongji.
Liu Hongji couldn't refuse, so he had to put the knife away. Mai Tiezhu called Qian Shixiong again, and thanked him for his friendship in the martial arts competition for him. Then he ordered someone to take twenty pieces of green money, handed it to Qian Shixiong, and ordered in a low voice: "When everyone disperses later, you and Hongji will go to the Qin brothers' house, and compensate others for all the things that the rabbits have smashed." If you don't have enough money, just ask the treasurer to join the army and withdraw it. Tell the little brother of the Qin family that in the future, whoever goes to his house to harass him will not give the old man a long face. Let him use the knife and the knife, use the arrow and use the arrow, and don't care about the old man's feelings! โ
As soon as these words came out, they were shocked. Zuo Wuwei's people still have to lose money after being beaten, which is tantamount to completely admitting that today's incident is their fault. Seeing this, Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, but Mai Tiezhu refused to take back what he said, and forced Liu Hongji and others to accept the money as a general. Then, he pulled Li Yuan with one hand and Yu Wenshu with the other, and said with a smile: "If you don't have a rabbit feeling today, we will rarely have a chance to get together." Since you are in our army, it is better to go and have a drink together. As for how those juniors toss, let them toss themselves! โ
The generals laughed, and a storm disappeared in laughter. Naturally, there were no seats for unpopular military attaches like Li Xu and Liu Hongji at the banquet of senior generals, and the two looked at each other and said goodbye to Li Yuan, Mai Tiezhu and others. Qian Shixiong had a task on his shoulders, so he immediately took off his armor and led the war horse to follow.
In the first battle, Qian Shixiong let the light and lost well, and the grain guards were naturally polite when they saw him. Liu Hongji first arranged for two brigades to take the brothers back to the camp, and then called Qin Ziying at the edge of the school field, and in front of Qian Shixiong, he told the meaning of the wheat iron rod, hoping that he would not worry about today's affairs.
"How can a small courtyard gate be worth so much money! Besides, General Mai didn't investigate our fault for injuring his corporal, Qin was already grateful, how dare he ask for compensation again! Qin Ziying stepped forward to greet Qian Shixiong and replied lightly.
He had a good family, and he didn't care about the damaged things. But Mai Tiezhu's insulting words today left a heavy shadow on his marriage to Miss He. Qin Ziying deliberately used the repair of the house and door to divert the topic of He Ruomei at that time, and she didn't know what the other party wanted to express? In his eyes, how could the damage left by Mai Tiecane and Yuwenshu's words in Mei'er's heart be compensated with money?
For a while, the scene was a little embarrassing. Qian Shixiong came on behalf of Mai Tiecane, and his face may not be in line with the original intention of repairing the relationship between Tang Gong and General Mai. Liu Hongji has always been old-fashioned, stepped forward and pulled Qin Ziying's arm, and suggested with a smile: "Ziying, why don't we invite General Qian to sit at home." He is the first general under General Mai, and he brought the meaning of General Mai, I think Miss He will feel better in her heart! โ
Today's events all depend on Liu Hongji's righteousness to achieve such a result. Qin Ziying is a knowledgeable person, of course, he can't help but give Liu Hongji face. looked at the people who were very interested, and then looked at Qian Shixiong, who was full of embarrassment, so he had to show a little smile and replied politely: "There is no need to apologize, if General Qian does not dislike it, you might as well come to my house and sit down." lest someone take advantage of General Mai's inattention in the future and use his name to find fault! โ
"No, General Mai has just said, whoever dares to go to your house to make trouble will not give him face! Although my Zuo Wuwei's people are reckless, they are not people with small stomachs! Qian Shixiong blushed and replied.
Everyone said a few words to ease the atmosphere, and together they got on the horse and killed Qin Ziying's house. Li Wan'er and Li Shimin's sisters and brothers like to be lively, and they also followed with their tails. When he arrived at the door of Qin Ziying's house, he saw the messy scene again, Qian Shixiong felt even more ashamed, jumped off the horse early, and bent down to clean up the gravel and wood at the door.
His real behavior made Qin Ziying a little embarrassed. Hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hug each other, and asked the tiger greedy man to enter the adult to drink tea first.
"Let it be, tomorrow I will send some brothers from the camp, it's not a matter of a pillar of incense!" Wang Yuantong shouted while inviting the guests to the room.
"That's it, General Mai is polite, how can you use money to repair this courtyard!" Qi Poning smiled and played a round game. The two of them are in charge of the house and camp tents, and the other is in charge of armor equipment, and it is naturally a matter of helping his friends repair the courtyard. Besides, although Qian Shixiong's official position is high, his shelf is not big, and he is very temperamental.
Everyone entered the courtyard with a smile, laughing and asking for tea from their younger siblings. Before he could reach the door of the guest room, two servant women who didn't know where to hide when they had just fought came up with red eyes.
As soon as Qin Ziying saw the faces of the two, her breath immediately stagnated, and regardless of the number of guests around, she rushed to ask, "Mother Wang, Mother Li, where did you go just now!" Where's Mei'er, how is she now?"
"Master Ticket, Madam, Madam, she's gone!" The two servant women replied with sobs.
"Gone, where did you go?" Qin Ziying asked a question, pushed away the two servants, and ran to the back house.
The people were also stunned by the servant's answer, and for a moment they did not know what to do. After a long pause, Liu Hongji took the lead in stabilizing his mind, staring at the two servants with wide eyes and asking, "Where did Miss He Ruo go, why didn't you stop her!"
"We, we were sent out by her to sell vegetables. When she came back from shopping, Miss He was gone, and the horse she used to ride was gone. We thought it was the government soldiers who came again, and went around to find the master, but we didn't know where the master went! The two servant women reported with a handful of snot and tears, crying and crying.
"Have any government soldiers been here? Haven't you asked your neighbors?" Qian Shixiong was also a little anxious, although his voice was low, his tone sounded like he was roaring.
"No, no! The neighbors all said that they only saw people riding out of the house, but no outsiders came! The servant woman was startled by him and began to weep aloud.
When everyone heard this, they knew that they would never be able to ask any more results. Immediately, they each led their horses and went out separately to find them. Tossed from the afternoon until dark, and found no results. The street was deserted, and no one noticed a woman passing by alone. Only the soldier at the south gate said that two hours earlier he had seen a chestnut pony carrying a boy out of the west. They saw that the other horse's horses were handsome and neatly dressed, so they did not dare to carefully interrogate their whereabouts.
"Mel is gone, and I know she's sad. I promised to protect her, I promised?" Qin Ziying stood stupidly in the courtyard and muttered to himself. Ever since he had heard the servant's report, he had lost his soul, and he had in his hand a withered grass with white flowers, and he did not go out to find anyone, nor did he listen to the persuasion of the people.
"Brother Ziying, does Sister Mei'er have any relatives living nearby?" Li Wan's children were attentive and stepped forward to remind in a low voice.
"The people of He Ruo's family have been killed by the emperor, how can they have any relatives!" Qin Ziying shook her head with a wry smile, looked at the withered grass in her hand, and burst into tears in a daze.
This was plucked from the roof tile by Qin Ziying when the two of them first bought this courtyard. I don't know what the name is, but I think this grass has strong vitality, and it can bloom bright white flowers with a little rain in the tile. So, Mel left it and composed a song on the theme of this flower.
"He Ruojia?" Qian Shixiong asked blankly. It was only then that he realized that the surname was extraordinary. The Great Sui Dynasty was emperor
There is only one He Ruo's family that the emperor copied, and that is the family of the great general He Ruobi.
"She is the granddaughter of General He Ruobi!" Qi Poning replied in a low voice. The world is impermanent, who would have thought that He Ruobi, who was majestic back then, would also fall into the fate of a ruined family. Who would have thought that his granddaughter would marry a small family that is not a wealthy family, and would be thought to be a shame of the family? Huaiyuan Town is a border city, and the nearby Yan County and Liucheng are dozens of miles away. A weak woman goes out alone, and she is smeared in the dark, and her ending can be guessed without asking everyone. But everyone was an officer, and they left the team rashly, which was not tolerated by military law. Besides, the man had already walked for two hours, and unless a large number of men and horses were dispatched to cast their nets in all directions, they would not be able to catch up with them in any way.
"Ziying, actually, that's fine. Your Qin family is a prestigious family after all! Zhou Wenyuan took a few steps forward and persuaded in a low voice. Although the words of the two old guys, Yu Wenshu and Mai Tiezhu, today are hurtful, but in fact they are not wrong. If Qin Ziying marries He Ruomei desperately, not only will the family not tolerate it, but his future will also be ruined in the future.
"The so-called wealthy family is just a piece of rotten flesh to the heart. Brother Zhou, you were born in it, didn't you smell it?" Qin Ziying suddenly burst out a little crazy, laughing and asking rhetorically.
"Child!" Zhou Wenyuan was embarrassed and speechless when asked.
The people standing solemnly in the cold wind, except for Li Xu and Samurai A, who were born as merchants, the rest can be regarded as wealthy families.
Although some people's families are prosperous, some people's families are slightly weaker. Qin Ziying's words were equivalent to scolding everyone into it, and immediately, someone had a cold face and said: "I've been together for so long, but I don't know that Brother Ziying is aspiring to pick chrysanthemums under the fence, we and other laypeople, it's really high!"
"Picking chrysanthemums, hehe!" Qin Ziying sneered loudly, her face full of tears, "Don't misunderstand, brothers. At this moment, I wish I was the general of the Pillar Kingdom, and I would be crowned for generations! โ
After that, he ignored everyone, pinched the withered weed, and walked straight to the back house.
Qian Shixiong knew that this matter was all caused by his own general, and he didn't realize that his face was Shanshan, so he took the lead in saying goodbye. Everyone waited for Qin Ziying for a while, and saw that he was hiding in the room and refused to come out, so they had to go back to the camp to rest first. Along the way, when everyone talked about today's events, they all shook their heads and sighed for Qin He and the others. Thinking about what Qin Ziying said at the end, I felt a lot of kinship. So much so that in the end, they all lost interest in talking, and as soon as they returned to the barracks, they immediately went back to their rooms to sleep.
"I wish I was the general of the Zhu Kingdom!" Qin Ziying's last sentence was not wrong at all, if he was a general, even if he was a general, no blind soldier would dare to bully him. Thinking about the ups and downs of the whole situation today, Li Xu was inexplicably shocked in his heart.
Under the lights, he thought of Sun Jiu, Xu Dayan, Ashina Choyu, and the arrogant, but unruly wheat iron rod. "Credit, but take it right away!" What Xu Dayan said back then also warmed up in his heart again.
