Again, the salary is insufficient, my Zheng family army should have 10,000 horses, but now there are only 3,000, and the swords, armor, and horses are all in order, which is different from what Old Lady Cui promised. ”

Zheng Yichen slapped the table and roared angrily at Cui Changshun, who was in charge of military rations.

Cui Changshun sneered and said lightly: "Boy, now the whole Xichuan is opening their mouths to ask me for money, who is not tightening their belts to live, do you think you are not having a good time?"

Let me tell you, if it weren't for the relationship between the master, you wouldn't even want to catch these 3,000 people, and now you will be paid a thousand soldiers. ”

Zheng Yichen was furious in his heart, his face turned pale, but how could a person not bow his head under the eaves, he finally suppressed his anger and said: "Since the entire Xichuan is short of people and money, why can Cui Lingwen make up for 20,000 horses and horses, and the armament is complete?" ”

Cui Changshun glanced at him playfully, and said with a cruel smile: "Cui Lingwen's surname is Cui, what is your surname?" ”

Zheng Yichen's pupils shrank, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by a needle.

"Yes, the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different......"

He smiled wryly and clenched his fists.

At this moment, Cui Changshun's master hurriedly walked in, as if he had something important to discuss with Cui Changshun.

Zheng Yichen knew that there would be no more results in this matter, and he didn't bother to leave the humiliation, so he snorted coldly and walked away.

But as soon as he turned around, he heard the master say to Cui Changshun: "Yo, I don't know which young master of the Cui family is this, so angry?" ”

Cui Changshun sneered and said: "My Cui family doesn't have this kind of person, this is the little bastard of the Zheng family, the one who killed his own family with his own hands." ”

The master pretended to be shocked: "Oh? Is there such a wolf-hearted person in the world? ”

Cui Changshun glanced at Zheng Yichen and said with a smile: "Yes, the world is big, there are no surprises, what is it to seek glory for the sake of glory and wealth, even if you want him to be a dog, it is not uncommon to kneel down and wag your tail and beg for mercy." ”

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

These words seemed to be deliberately said to Zheng Yichen, and he did not lower his voice at all, and Zheng Yichen listened to them word for word.

He was so angry that he trembled, and he wanted to cut Cui Changshun in half with a knife, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth and walked out without saying a word.

"Phew, what's the matter, I really think of myself as a character, if you are a good dog, Lao Tzu may reward you with two bones, now, hum, I don't want to take any of them!"

Cui Changshun glanced at Zheng Yichen's back in disgust, and said in disgust.

After parting unhappily with Cui Changshun, Zheng Yichen suppressed his boiling anger and went directly to the Governor's Mansion to find Old Lady Cui to explain, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the door of the lobby, he was stopped by two Xiao Si.

"General Zheng, the Metropolitan Governor is discussing important matters with his subordinates, I don't have time to see you, please go back."

Xiao Si said expressionlessly.

This Xiao Si was originally Cui Lingwen's companion, and he used to follow behind the buttocks of several of their young masters to flatter him to the best of his ability, Zheng Yichen never looked at him squarely, but he didn't expect that now he was arranged by Cui Lingwen to work in the Governor's Mansion, and even Xiao Si put up a shelf and didn't take him seriously at all.

"Fuck off, dog-and-man thing!"

Zheng Yichen, who was furious in his heart, couldn't hold back any longer, raised his foot and kicked Na Xiaosi in the chest.

He is a master of martial arts, and this kick came out with hatred, and he didn't retract his strength at all, how could Xiao Si resist it? Immediately, he kicked him out, slammed open the main door of the lobby, and fell to the floor of the main hall vomiting three mouthfuls of blood.

In the lobby, Cui Huanchen was discussing important matters with several henchmen, and was taken aback by this scene, and immediately turned his head to look at the two.

As soon as he saw Zheng Yichen's gloomy appearance, Cui Huanchen knew it in his heart, and waved his hand at a few henchmen: "You guys go out first." ”

The henchmen nodded in unison and bowed to leave, but when they walked to Zheng Yichen's side, they all showed disdainful glances, intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were looking at a biting dog.

Zheng Yichen trembled slightly, his teeth creaked, and he didn't know whether he was angry or sad.

"The Metropolitan Governor, the small one is loyal to his duties, but this Zheng Yichen hurt people in front of you for no reason, he really doesn't take you seriously, and asks the Metropolitan Governor to be the master of the small one!"

Xiao Si lay on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging, but he actually complained in front of Zheng Yichen, Zheng Yichen's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and he was about to kick him again.

But at this moment, Cui Huanchen first pressed his hand towards Zheng Yichen, signaling him not to move, and then gave the old servant behind him a look, and the old servant immediately walked behind Xiao Si silently, pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the back of the heart.

Xiao Si's voice stopped abruptly, and he fell to the ground and whimpered, and the old servant pulled out his dagger and wiped it on him, and then went to beckon his subordinates to clean up as if nothing happened.

Seeing that the Cui family was killing people so unscrupulously, Zheng Yichen's eyelids jumped, and his heart finally cleared up a little, and he secretly blamed himself for not being able to hold his breath.

"Let's go, go out for a walk with the old man, and leave it for them to clean up here."

Cui Huanchen stood up, said a word to Zheng Yichen, and then walked out first, Zheng Yichen didn't dare to say much, and followed behind Cui Huanchen step by step.

The two came to the garden, the bright sunlight sprinkled on the lush famous flowers, and the beautiful scenery of a good day was in stark contrast to Zheng Yichen's icy mood at the moment.

"You're here for the sake of the soldiers' pay, right?"

Cui Huanchen suddenly spoke, pulling the preoccupied Zheng Yichen back to reality.

"The master is really like watching the fire."

Zheng Yichen nodded, and did not hide it.

Cui Huanchen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xichuan is very difficult now, and Changshun also has his difficulties, you have to understand." ”

Zheng Yichen nodded: "This matter is Yichen's mistake......"

Cui Huanchen glanced at him deeply and shook his head: "There is no right or wrong in this matter, it is all for the great cause of my Xichuan's restoration......"

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then said: "I know it's not easy for you, so let's do it, the old man will allocate all his private rooms to you, which should probably be enough to make up for your military salary." ”

"Master!"

Zheng Yichen suddenly raised his head and looked at Cui Huanchen in disbelief.

Cui Huanchen said with a smile: "Your meritorious old man has always remembered, what is the amount of some pension money?" I know that there is a lot of criticism against you out there now, how can there be no criticism when the big husband acts? Only by resisting the past can you become a true hero! ”

"Yi Chen remembers the teachings of the master."

Zheng Yichen hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Cui Huanchen.

Cui Huanchen held him up and said with a smile: "In addition, the old man who promised you 10,000 horses has always remembered that there is a surplus of people in Dong'er, so the old man will transfer another 7,000 people from him to make up for your people." ”

"Master!"

A trace of horror flashed in Zheng Yichen's eyes, and he looked at Cui Huanchen in astonishment, but in an instant, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly lowered his head and covered up that unnatural expression.

"Yichen, thank you for cultivating!"

Zheng Yichen hugged his fists and thanked him.

Cui Huanchen waved his hand and said with a pleasant face: "Okay, the matter is settled, you can go back first, the old man is still busy here." ”

"Yes, Yichen retires......"

Zheng Yichen bowed and retreated.

Cui Huanchen looked at his back from afar, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Master, everything is taken care of."

I don't know when, the old servant walked behind Cui Huanchen and whispered.

Cui Huanchen came back to his senses, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and nodded.

The summer sun is shining, and both humans and animals are uncomfortably hot, but Zheng Yichen's heart is not half happy, but it is like the middle of winter in the wax moon, and it is cold.

He walked through the street like a walking corpse, only to feel that the people around him were laughing at him, he suddenly raised his head, squinted his eyes at the sun in the sky, and said to himself: "Grandpa, am I really wrong?" ”
