Chapter 75 (1st Update)
Cheng Guzhi came to Fengcheng and rushed out of Cheng's house with a sense of anger, but after arriving in Fengcheng, he found that Fengcheng had not become an empty city as he had gotten the news, but countless people, including the Anyang Army, were methodically relieving the people.
The city is obviously being rebuilt, the houses of the people are being built, and Fengcheng is a hundred miles away, and there is not a single displaced person, and there are no people who are starving to death and freezing to death on the road.
He was very surprised, thinking about the news he got on the road, saying that Su Ziqi was in Fengcheng for disaster relief, Cheng Zixiao took refuge in Su Ziqi, and used all his industries in the north to help Su Ziqi for disaster relief, he also thought that even if the killers sent by those people to the north couldn't kill Su Ziqi, how could they disrupt the disaster relief, but he didn't expect that the disaster relief in Fengcheng didn't seem to be disturbed. I didn't think about it, but I couldn't help Su Zi.
Fengcheng was garrisoned by the Anyang army, it looked orderly, he stood outside the city gate, looked at Fengcheng and thought, he brought ten carts of rice grain to Fengcheng, obviously at this time it has no effect.
When the people guarding the city saw him, they said that General An Ke had been killed, that the whole city of Fengcheng was under martial law, and that the killers were being arrested, and no one could be allowed to enter the city. However, for the sake of the ten carts of rice and grain he brought, you can go and tell General Xiao and ask General Xiao to decide whether to let him into the city.
Cheng Guzhi was thinking about which General Xiao, and when he saw Xiao Yu, he found that he didn't know him.
Xiao Yu saw Cheng Guzhi, invited him into the city, and personally took him into the city guard's mansion.
On the way, Cheng Guzhi kept looking at Xiao Yu, a very thin and weak person, it was really unimaginable that he took over the Anyang Army and became the general of the Anyang Army.
He asked tentatively, "Dare to ask General Xiao, General An Ke and General An Yu?" ”
Xiao Yu sighed, and caused a conflict between An Ke and An Yu, An Ke killed An Yu, and An Ke was killed by a large number of unknown black-clothed killers two days ago. ”
Cheng Guzhi was shocked, "So that's the case." ”
Xiao Yu nodded sadly, "The death of the two generals is really too painful. ”
Cheng Guzhi was silent.
He is not a fool, but very smart, Su Zi came to Fengcheng for disaster relief, how many people want to kill him, including the Cheng family's grandfather and father, and at the same time, he also understands what kind of existence the Anyang Army jointly managed by An Ke and An Yu. He thought, no wonder Fengcheng's disaster relief went so smoothly, because the Anyang Army had already changed its commander, and it was no longer the previous Anyang Army.
Cheng Guzhi asked again, "Is it good to kill the son?" ”
Xiao Yu's eyebrows moved, and he said, "The son left Fengcheng last night. ”
Cheng Gu was stunned, "Then who is arranging to deal with disaster relief matters in Fengcheng now?" ”
Xiao Yu said helplessly, "It's down." ”
Cheng Guzhi nodded, although Xiao Yu was thin and weak, but after a short contact, he felt that this person must not be as weak and deceitful as he looked, otherwise it would be impossible to accept to take charge of the Anyang Army and let the 50,000 Anyang Army be obedient.
He thought, it was really unfortunate that he came, he didn't see Su Ziqi, he actually left last night.
While the two were talking, they came to the castle guard's mansion.
Entering the city guard mansion, Xiao Yu did not invite Cheng Guzhi to the living room, but took him to the backyard.
Cheng Gu was puzzled, but he didn't ask much.
Entering the backyard, Cheng Gu saw Cheng Zixiao standing lazily against the threshold of the main house, and he was stunned, "Seventh brother? ”
Cheng Zi laughed, turned his head to look at Cheng Guzhi, raised his eyebrows, and smiled with a deep meaning, "The second brother came to Fengcheng and only brought ten carts of rice grain, which is not enough for the people to stuff their teeth." ”
Cheng Guzhi's face froze, he was silent, and then answered, "Because my brother is not as good as my seventh brother, I can only get these ten truckloads of rice and grain to come." Ashamed. ”
Cheng Zixiao rolled his eyes, and originally wanted to laugh at Cheng Guzhi for a few words, but thinking that he had never been like the rest of the Cheng family, he sneered arrogantly and even bullied and pressed him every time he saw him. He then spoke no more.
Cheng Guzhi came to the front and looked at Cheng Zixiao carefully, he stopped talking, he didn't seem to care about the sentence that he had just ridiculed, and said in a normal tone, "I have always felt that the seventh brother is different from others, he is a capable person, sure enough, you have done business all over the north all these years behind your back, and you have concealed it very well, which is admirable." ”
Cheng Zi pursed his lips with a smile, and was not afraid to tell him, "Now the business in the Northland is no longer mine." ”
Cheng Guzhi gave his hand, "For the people affected by the disaster in the North, I am willing to donate all the business in the Northland for disaster relief, and the seventh brother is a righteous person." ”
Cheng Zixiao sneered, "Second brother, don't praise me like this, what is righteous or unjust, I am just afraid of being killed, and I can't even ask for a tombstone when I die, so I just went bankrupt and took refuge." ”
Cheng Guzhi, "Doing righteous things, but not realizing the righteousness of things, is even more commendable." ”
Cheng Zixiao looked at Cheng Guzhi speechlessly, and raised his eyebrows again, "Second brother is here to praise me today?" ”
Cheng Guzhi shook his head.
Cheng Zixiao let go of the door, "Someone wants to see you, second brother go in." ”
Cheng Guzhi was slightly surprised, thinking that since Su Ziqi had left Fengcheng, who else wanted to see him? He looked at Cheng Zixiao and showed doubts, Cheng Zixiao turned around, turned his head and entered the house, and gave him a back.
Cheng Guzhi could only follow him into the house.
Hua Yan sat in the room and waited for Cheng Guzhi, naturally heard the words of the two at the door, secretly funny, Cheng Zixiao said that he hated Cheng Guzhi very much, but obviously it was not like that, presumably the only thing in the Cheng family that made him a little bit good was this Cheng Guzhi, and Cheng Guzhi quarreled, with Cheng Guzhi's temperament, it seemed that he couldn't fight.
Cheng Guzhi stepped into the threshold, entered the painting hall, and saw Huayan sitting on a chair drinking tea at a glance. His eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Hua Yan in disbelief, and blurted out, "Crown princess? ”
This sound was very shocking.
Hua Yan looked at Cheng Guzhi with a smile and put down the teacup, "Second son Cheng, meet again." ”
Cheng Guzhi woke up and hurriedly saluted, "Meet the crown princess!" ”
Hua Yan smiled, "The second son doesn't have to be polite. The words fell, and he introduced the person sitting next to her, "This is the fifth prince." ”
Only then did Cheng Guzhi find that the young man sitting next to Hua Yan turned out to be the Fifth Prince, he was still young and accompanied Cheng Xiang into Beijing, and he had long since lost his knowledge of the Five Princes, so he bowed his hand again, "Five Princes!" ”
The fifth prince bowed his head, looked at Cheng Guzhi, and said softly, "Second cousin is exempt." ”
The Queen Mother was born in the Cheng family, and Cheng Guzhi was one and a half years older than the fifth prince, so she wanted to call her cousin.
Cheng Guzhi straightened up and sat on a chair beside him, Cai Qing immediately stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea, and he said slowly, "Thank you." ”
Cai Qing glanced at Cheng Gu in surprise and retreated behind Hua Yan.
Cheng Guzhi took a sip of tea, thought countless times in his heart, and secretly thought, no wonder Fengcheng is now carrying out disaster relief in such a stable and orderly manner, it turns out that not only Su Zi is here, but the crown princess is also here, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke, "I didn't expect the princess to come to the north and be in Fengcheng, which is really surprising." ”
Cheng Zixiao had already sat aside, drank tea and said, "The second brother is indeed an accident, after all, as the crown princess, she should be married in the Hua family now, and she shouldn't come to the north to join in the excitement of disaster relief." ”
Cheng Gu was speechless for a while.
Hua Yan glanced at Cheng Zi and smiled, a little funny, and took over, "The second son came to Fengcheng with ten carts of rice grain, which also surprised me very much. ”
Cheng Guzhi said ashamedly, "I have a meager ability, I can only get these rice grains to bring, I thought that I would find a way to alleviate the temporary urgency of the people of Fengcheng, but I didn't expect to come down late, and now it seems that I am completely useless." ”
Hua Yan said with a smile, "Cheng Er Gongzi is not doing useless work, I was already preparing to leave Fengcheng today, I heard that the second son is coming, so I waited here to see the second son." ”
Cheng Guzhi raised his eyes and looked at Hua Yan, "The crown princess deliberately waited below, dare to ask if there is any need for the next place?" As long as there is something that can be used by the crown princess, it is impossible to refuse to define it. ”
Cheng Zi smiled and said coldly, "Second brother, don't speak too early, you listen to what the crown princess has to say first." How do you know where she needs your help and won't kill you? ”
Cheng Guzhi turned to Cheng Zi and smiled, sighing, "Seventh brother, you didn't have this personality before, and you used to ignore me, what's wrong today?" How much to talk about? ”
Cheng Zi choked and twisted his head.
Cheng Guzhi saw that Cheng Zixiao finally stopped talking completely, and turned to Hua Yan again, "Crown Princess, please say, as long as I can do it, I will help." ”
Hua Yan looked at Cheng Guzhi, his eyes were sincere, a person's eyes were not biased, he said this from the bottom of his heart. She opened her mouth with the words she had thought out a long time ago, "Second Prince Cheng, you are from the Cheng family, can you tell me what kind of existence the Cheng family is in the Northland?" What kind of existence is it for the people of the Northland? ”
Cheng Guzhi's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said bitterly, "Don't hide it from the princess, the Cheng family ......" He took a deep breath, his voice was hoarse, "For the Northland, the Cheng family is a big family, with a stable status and a deep foundation, for the people of the Northland, the Cheng family is ashamed to ...... the people of the Northland."
