Chapter 158: The Arrogant Servant
Zhang Laohan's words shocked Di Renjie, the name of the Eagle Rider is not unfamiliar to him, the Turks have this mysterious army since the beginning of the Mobei Suo Kingdom, not only superb riding skills, excellent archery skills, but also make the combatants very frightened is the Eagle Falcon they tame, the Eagle Falcon attacks from the air, specifically attacking the eyes of the attacking object, and the Eagle Rider attacks from the horse, far arrows, close to the scimitar, enough to make the opponent take care of the other, should be overwhelmed, there is a legend that the Eagle Rider not only has a tame eagle falcon, they also tame the wolves to participate in the war, Therefore, the Eagle Rider also frightened many opponents!
"Brother Zhang, you said it was the badge of the Eagle Rider?" Di Renjie exclaimed!
"Well, this badge, that is, I know it when it turns into ashes, it was Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan for three years, when I was only fifteen years old, it was also the first time I saw the legendary Eagle Rider, the first confrontation, the Tang Army was defeated, countless casualties, Wei Guogong was furious, vowed to annihilate all the Eagle Riders, Wei Guogong several personal expeditions, the first soldier, which greatly boosted the morale of the Tang Army, and the confrontation with the Eagle Rider also began to win and lose each other!" Zhang Laohan said while wiping the bow in his hand, when it came to emotion, his eyes lit up, as if he had returned to the scene when he was on the bloody battlefield!
Di Renjie stroked his long hair lightly and nodded, "You can imagine how tragic the war would have been back then!" ”
"Yes, later Wei Guogong asked Sun Wuji, the chief of Zhao Guogong, who was idle at home, and Zhao Guogong offered a plan to be led by Wei Guogong and British Duke to lead the army to attack on both sides, our army was responsible for the frontal attack, and the British Duke was responsible for intercepting the retreating enemy in Baidao, Xiao Lao'er, I was seriously injured in that battle, and since then, the Eagle Rider has disappeared since then! However, it was rumored that the British Duke let go of the father and son of the main general of the Eagle Rider when he intercepted the Eagle Rider, but at that time it was just a rumor that the army was winning one after another, so no one looked into the matter in detail! Zhang Laohan said!
"Oh, I see, my father was a soldier and joined the army, and he told me about this war, but I didn't expect it to be so tragic!" Di Renjie said with emotion!
"Yes, the whole country celebrated the victory back then, and who knows how many people were wrapped in horse leather in this war?" Zhang Laohan said with some sadness!
Di Renjie was silent, indeed as Zhang Laohan said, people only remember the general who returned triumphantly, who will remember the nameless soldier? Even if he died in battle, not many people may care, at that time, many soldiers in the army didn't even have a name!
At night, Di Renjie had insomnia, his heart was inexplicably bored, tossing and turning!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The next morning, there was a burst of gongs outside the courtyard, followed by a man's voice shouting: "Folks, listen well, pass on the Taiye Jun's order, today there are Turkic spies infiltrating the territory, if every household encounters an unknown person, they must report it immediately, otherwise they will be punished as collaborators!" ”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
There was another gong sound, and the man shouted again!
Di Renjie was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother Zhang, isn't this war between the Turks and the Great Zhou already over?" How can there be Turkic spies? ”
"Not long ago, a Turkic army did come to attack, but before the city defense battalion came, they all ran away, and I don't know what happened, but they haven't come since then, I don't know if it's related to the Turks who came to attack last time!" Zhang Laohan said!
Di Renjie nodded and muttered, "This Turkic rebel army is really haunted!" ”
Bang Bang Bang!
The two were talking, and suddenly there was a sound of banging on the door, Zhang Laohan's legs and feet were inconvenient, his grandson drove the captives to run over to open the door, the door opened, and three people came in, wearing official uniforms and carrying steel knives at their waists, they should be the officials of the county government, and there is a gong in the hands of the officials headed by them, it seems that they should be the ones who just shouted!
"Child, go, pour some water for the uncle!" The official at the head of the department shouted 'dangchang', threw the gong on the square table in the courtyard, and shouted loudly!
The captives glanced at him, and said impatiently: "I don't want water, there is a well outside the door, I want to drink it myself!" ”
"Hey, you kid, I think you're looking for a fight, the uncle came to your house to drink water, that's your family's honor, this cold day, you let the uncle drink cold water?" The official grabbed the ear of the captive and said sharply!
Chang Ping and Chang An were helping Zhang Laohan chop wood behind the house, and when they heard the shouts of the captives, they hurriedly ran over from the back of the room, "Stop!" What are you doing to bully a child? Chang Ping shouted!
The official at the head heard the shout, let go of the exorcism, and looked up at Chang Ping and Chang An!
"What are you two doing? Uncle, why haven't I seen you two? The official looked at the two of them and asked sharply!
"Who do you care who we are?" Chang An said angrily!
"I think you are Turkic spies, come, take it for me!" The official at the head drew his saber and shouted!
The two officials behind him also drew their knives one after another, eager to try, and the officials led by them raised their knives and pointed at Chang Ping, and sneered: "Have you seen this?" I tell you, be ambushed obediently, don't let Lao Tzu bother, otherwise, you will resist arrest, and Lao Tzu can kill you on the spot! ”
The official was still sneering, and suddenly Chang Ping's figure flashed, and a big hand grabbed the wrist of the officer, like a steel tong, so that the officer couldn't move, and the two officials behind him saw this, and hurriedly raised their knives and rushed forward!
Chang Ping sneered, stretched out his hand and snatched the steel knife in the hand of the officer, the cold light flashed, the knife had already reached the neck of the officer, and the two officials behind him saw this, and they were fixed on the spot, not daring to move!
The official said in a trembling voice: "You, you, you dare to hold officials hostage, you, you are really Turkic spies!" ”
"Your knife is in my hand now, didn't you ask me if I had seen this? Okay, then let me ask you, have you ever seen what it is like to be smeared on the neck with such a knife? Chang Ping asked with a sneer!
"Bold thief, let him go, or you will be torn to pieces!" The official behind him said sharply!
"First, we are not thieves, and second, we are not Turkic spies, we are just passing by, and we came here to spend the night, but as an official, you are so arrogant and unreasonable, but what is the reason?" Chang Ping took the steel knife and patted the officer's shoulder and asked!
"Oops, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Don't be surprised, aren't we also acting on orders? The official suddenly relented and begged for mercy again and again!
"Okay, since you said that you misunderstood, the knife will be returned to you, you can go, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink the water in this house!" Chang Ping said, and threw the steel knife in his hand back to the officer!
The official caught the steel knife, clasped his fists again and again, and said: "Don't drink, don't drink, farewell, farewell!" ”
After speaking, he took the two officials and trotted all the way out of the courtyard of Zhang Laohan's house, and drove the captives to give Chang Ping a thumbs up, "Big brother, you are really amazing!" ”
Chang Ping touched the head of the exorcist and smiled, at this time, Di Renjie walked out, looked at Chang Ping and Chang An, and sighed: "Chang Ping, you got into trouble, they will come back!" ”
