The people in the capital looked forward to it day and night, and they waited for more than a month, and finally looked forward to the return of Yang Jingye's triumphant division.

On this day, the city was empty, and people crowded one after another, crowding on the side of the street where the victorious army must pass, wanting to see General Yang's demeanor.

Xiao Junyan, who has always loved to watch the excitement, was naturally not absent, he set up a window position in Liuxiangju early, and pulled Cheng Qingyue to wait in the morning, and when it was close to noon, he saw that the army had not yet come, so he simply ordered a table of good dishes to eat.

"This sauce elbow of Liuxiangju is really tired of eating, the entrance is crispy and mellow, fat but not greasy, and this squirrel osmanthus fish, golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, it is really the best in the world!" Xiao Junyan licked the sauce on his hand intoxicated, and beckoned Cheng Qingyue: "Hey, sister Qingyue, don't just watch me eat, you eat too, today your brother Chen was summoned to the court, I saw that you were lonely, so I brought you to eat delicious food, this is not enough." Xuan'er, you also sit down and eat, there are so many dishes, what a waste if you can't finish eating! ”

Xuan'er looked at Xiao Junyan, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, and secretly stuck out her tongue at Cheng Qingyue, in the morning, it was obviously Xiao Gongzi who thought it was boring to come alone, so he had to pull Miss, which would be because he took pity on us and brought us out.

Cheng Qingyue understood, smiled, and looked at Xiao Junyan with interest: "Xiao Gongzi's appetite is really good, you drank a bowl of soy milk in the morning, ate two bowls of chaos, three steamed buns, and four fritters, and it hasn't been until noon, you are hungry, and you have eaten so much." If your father sees this, he may be distressed to death, and he will send you a silver ticket again. ”

Xiao Junyan didn't care about her ridicule, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, wiped his hands again, and then said tightly: "There is a way, the king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky, if the people can't eat enough, don't eat well, without the people, where is the emperor still have any heaven to speak of, so, this is also a way for me to serve the country, curve to save the country, understand?"

Cheng Qingyue teased: "Xiao Gongzi's thinking is really different, and he can even say that he is so fresh and refined after eating."

"The words are not rough, although this son is talking about a simple problem of eating, it contains the principle of governing the world, which is great wisdom." I don't know when, Cui Ziqian also came to Liuxiangju, and after he went upstairs, he happened to hear Xiao Junyan's remarks, and couldn't help but comment on it.

"Visionary!" Xiao Junyan looked at a person who understood himself, and got up excitedly and patted the person on the shoulder, "Childe really has a good eye, Maxima often has, and Bole does not often have, I didn't expect that I Xiao Junyan could meet a confidant today, come, sit down, I have a treat today, just let go of my belly and eat, and be full!" Hey, by the way, I don't know what to call the child? ”

"Under the surname Cui Mingjin Ziqian." After Cui Ziqian finished reporting his name, he politely bowed to Cheng Qingyue on the side, "Miss Qingyue, we meet again." ”

Cheng Qingyue also blessed him and returned the gift, "Cui Gongzi is polite." ”

Xiao Junyan asked with a confused face: "What, you know each other?"

Cui Ziqian said: "I met Miss Qingyue unexpectedly a few days ago, and I didn't expect to meet so soon, it's really fate. ”

"An unexpected acquaintance? How did you meet by accident? When Xiao Junyan heard this, he immediately aroused the gossip.

Xuan'er couldn't help but say: "A few days ago, I was wandering on the street with my young lady and was ...... by a disciple."

"Xuan'er!"

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Qingyue stopped her.

"Oh, I see," although Cheng Qingyue stopped Xuan'er from going down in time, Xiao Junyan still guessed it: "You met Dengzi, and then Cui Gongzi heroically saved the beauty and saved your young lady." ”

Xuan'er nodded quietly.

Cui Zi said modestly: "How can you worry about it."

Xiao Junyan was in a good mood, "So good, you are the life-saving benefactor of Qingyue girl, and you are my confidant, I see that you are also pleasing to the eye, today we will get drunk and rest, if we are not drunk, we will not return." ”

Cui Ziqian smiled and said: "It is Ziqian's honor to be Xiao Gongzi's confidant, and Ziqian will give up his life to accompany the gentleman."

"What, you know me?" As soon as Xiao Junyan heard that the other party seemed to know him, his excitement came up again, "Am I already so famous?" ”

Cui Ziqian replied truthfully: "Of course, now no one in the capital knows that Brother Xiao is the boss of Yi Lanxuan, the son of Xiao Mingli, the richest man in Jiangnan, and the nephew of Lord Zhang Huaize."

Xiao Junyan said arrogantly: "Hehe, I didn't expect my name to spread so quickly, I heard that there is no Qingyue girl, and I will meet some scoundrels and disciples in the future, even if I report my name, keep it scared and scared."

Cheng Qingyue said unceremoniously: "I'm just afraid that after reporting your name, I didn't scare away those disciples, but attracted many girls to collect debts from you!"

"What are you talking about, girl?" Xiao Junyan saw that Cheng Qingyue didn't give him face at all in front of outsiders, so he hurriedly stopped her from going on.

Cui Ziqian saw that the two were arguing, and thought it was very funny, and looked at the two with a smile.

At this time, Xuan'er shouted: "It's coming, it's coming, General Yang is here!"

The three of them looked down along the window, a large force of people and horses appeared in front of people's eyes, led by a middle-aged strong man riding a black high-headed horse, the man was wearing a golden armor, his face was hard, his skin was dark and rough, he looked weather-beaten, in the face of the cheers of the pedestrians on the side of the road, his face did not change, and he sat on the horse with a straight spine and walked forward, this is General Yang Jingye.

Xiao Junyan said: "This Yang Jingye looks like a thing."

Cui Ziqian continued: "Brother Xiao's words are true, General Yang Jingye is a hero who stands up to the sky, when he was still General Shen's deputy general, he followed General Shen to fight in the south and the north, and he has a lot of combat experience, he is not only brave and abnormal on the battlefield, often one enemy and ten, but also upright and loyal, is a rare general. If it weren't for General Shen's accident, he would have followed General Shen and would have been out of the prime minister, so that he would not be squeezed out of the imperial court and have been doing nothing in the north for more than ten years. ”

Cheng Qingyue heard the sadness and regret in his words: "What's the matter, Cui Gongzi knew General Yang before?"

Cui Ziqian nodded in acquiescence: "I not only know General Yang, but also know him. When I was a child, I often went to the Shen Mansion to find Yingyue to practice swords, General Shen and General Yang treated me like a disciple, and the martial arts and the art of war were all taught to me, and I also admired them abnormally, and I swore when I was a child that I must be a man like them when I grow up. It's a pity that General Shen was framed and died, and even Yingyue is gone, and since then, I feel like I have no goal, and I don't know what to do. ”

Cheng Qingyue looked at him straightly: "Does Gongzi Cui also think that General Shen is wronged?"

"I never believe that General Shen will collaborate with the enemy!" Speaking of General Shen's unjust case, Cui Ziqian's gentle face suddenly became sad and indignant: "In my impression, Uncle Shen is a real hero, he governs the army rigorously, uses soldiers like a god, is upright, and dares to admonish him, saying that he is rebelling, I would rather die than believe it."

Cheng Qingyue suddenly felt very relieved, when she first saw Cui Ziqian, she felt that this Wen Runzi must be extremely kind, but she didn't expect him to be such a jealous and hateful, affectionate and righteous person.

"You two are bold, too!" At this time, Xiao Junyan interrupted them, "Shen Zheng is plotting rebellion, it is the emperor's family, you openly question it after this public, don't die!" ”

Cui Ziqian regained his senses and said: "I was careless, thank you Brother Xiao for reminding me."

Xiao Junyan saw two young generals beside General Yang and asked, "Are those two people Yang Jingye's son and daughter?"

Cheng Qingyue glanced in the direction of his finger, and there were indeed two junior generals next to General Yang. Among them, the young general wearing golden armor is about 30 years old, with a resolute face and majestic majesty, just like General Yang. The other young man in silver armor was younger, about in his early twenties, with a thin body, and although his face was delicate and delicate, his eyebrows could hardly hide his heroic spirit.

Cui Ziqian glanced at it and said, "They are General Yang's sons Yang Chengzhi and Yang Jinghe."

Xiao Junyan was interested when he heard Yang Jinghe, "Is it Yang Jinghe, the heroine of the three kings?" ”

"It's him."

Xiao Junyan shook his fan and said, "It makes sense."

Cui Ziqian sincerely admired: "As the so-called tiger father has no dog son, although General Yang has an unsatisfactory career and has been degraded to the north for many years, the children who have been taught are like him, with his father's backbone, this time they expelled foreign enemies, quelled civil strife, and made great achievements, the emperor will definitely reward them, with these loyal ministers and good generals, why don't I worry about Jiang Guo."

"If people in the world are like Cui Gongzi, honest and kind, courteous and respectful, there must be no unjust cases."

Cui Ziqian was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said: "Miss Qingyue praised it falsely, heroes like General Yang should be set an example for hundreds of generations, and Ziqian can only regard them as models and spur himself from time to time."

Xiao Junyan interrupted them impatiently: "Okay, don't come over politely, sour or not, people are far away, come and come, let's drink, life must be happy, let's have a good drink today, so that we can meet in vain!"

"In this way, Ziqian will accompany him to the end."
