At this time, with Qin Qiong's hint, where does Cheng Biting Jin still have half a scruple? Haha said daxiao three times, Cheng Biting Jin pulled out the Xuanhua big axe with his backhand and slammed it a few times, and said viciously: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way for Lao Tzu!" Whoever dares not to roll, Lao Tzu will split his head into a rotten watermelon! ”

Although Cheng Yanjin is old and coarse, he is an out-and-out battlefield warrior. Charge, ten swings and ten decisions, unstoppable. Even if there are not a thousand lives under his hands, at least there are seven or eight hundred. Once you are ruthless, there will naturally be a strong aura of majesty on your body that is released like a flash flood, and you are also a brave general on the battlefield, or you can cultivate as high as Dugu Peak, and it is not difficult to deal with this majestic atmosphere. But Wang Xuanying is just a gentleman, but where can he withstand it? Seeing Cheng biting Jin approaching with a vicious stride, he couldn't help but shudder, his legs became weak, and he fell to his knees. A foul smell accompanied by some kind of yellow liquid coming out of his crotch, and he was so frightened by Cheng Yanjin that he was incontinent.

Seeing such an ugly state, Chen Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Wang Shichong is also a character, his son actually looks like this, it's really ......" paused, raised his voice a few degrees, and shouted: "Wang Xuanying, hand over the tiger talisman of the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses, and then get out." ”

Wang Xuanying subconsciously pressed back his hand, although there was fear in his eyes, his expression was still very unwilling. It's like a kindergarten student who protects his lollipop. I can't see that he is such a big person, and he still has the same mentality as a child, which is really angry and funny.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped from far and near. Before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first, and he shouted urgently: "General Dugu, Generalissimo Chen." Slow down, slow down! Everyone is a colleague, and there is something to say. Before the words fell, everyone was already approaching. He jumped off his horse, and his skills were very clean. When the sergeants of the Wagang army saw that he was wearing a military general's uniform, they forgave him that he must be an official of the imperial court, so they did not dare to obstruct him. The soldiers in the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division were also relieved when they saw their faces at first glance, revealing a look of relief. Now they have to get out of the way.

The man drove straight into the courtyard with great strides. Wang Xuanying showed a look of overjoy, and immediately crawled behind the visitor with his hands and feet, crying: "Yang Gong save me, Yang Gong save me." He hugged his thighs firmly and refused to let go. Chen Sheng raised his eyes intently, and saw that the person who came was about fifty years old, and he was born with a dignified appearance. Although the short beard on the chin has turned white, it is still vibrant. The jīng light in the eyes is four shè, and the temples are bulging high, which shows that his internal cultivation is quite high.

Dugu Feng introduced beside him: "Nephew, I'll introduce you for you." This is General Yang Gongqing, who is Wang Shangshu's confidant general. General Yang, this is Generalissimo Chen. The Emperor has issued a decree and instructed the Generalissimo to take over the post of the chief of the Imperial City. ”

Yang Gongqing is not from a formal background. He was also a member of the rebel army at the beginning. He was later defeated by Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong did not kill him, but took him under his command and trusted him. Yang Gongqing was very grateful for this, so he also worked hard for Wang Shichong and made a lot of contributions. Wang Shichong and the Wagang army fought hundreds of battles large and small, although they were defeated repeatedly, they were always defeated again and again. Among them, Yang Gongqing can be said to have made an indispensable contribution.

Although Chen Sheng had never met him, the two sides had also fought indirectly in the battle of Luoshui a few months ago. I was deeply impressed by the courage of the troops under Yang Gongqing at that time. Coupled with what I saw in front of me, I couldn't help but feel good about it. At that moment, he arched his hand and said, "General Yang, hello." ”

In fact, strictly speaking, Yang Gongqing's current official position is only a lieutenant general, and there is still a great distance from the official title of general. and Chen Sheng, the generalissimo, the difference is even greater. Therefore, Chen Sheng's unassuming posture not only made Yang Gongqing feel relieved, but also felt a little closer. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed back. Said: "Say hello to the generalissimo." He turned around and looked down at Wang Xuanying, frowned unconsciously, and said in a condensed voice: "Eldest prince, Shangshu wants to bring you a message from a humble position." The Tiger Talisman Seal Letter of the Imperial City Terracotta Division, please complete the handover with the generalissimo as soon as possible. Then he went to the yamen of the ministry to take office, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Wang Xuanying was shocked: "Body? Dad was going to give up...... Yang Gong, you can't hear me wrong, right? ”

Yang Gongqing sighed, obviously helpless against this gentleman. He said patiently: "How could I mishear Shangshu's words? Son, don't make trouble. The squire of the Ministry is actually a beautiful position, and his official position is half a level higher than that of the head of the Soldiers and Horses Division. You should hurry up and receive the decree. ”

Wang Xuanying was still reluctant in his heart. But at this point, no matter how low his IQ and EQ are, he knows that even if he rolls and splashes, it will not help. At the moment, the only way to do this was to honestly hand over the tiger talisman and the seal of the head of the Terracotta Division, and go through the handover procedures with Chen Sheng.

The Imperial City Terracotta Division is actually an empty shell yamen. Although there are a lot of available troops, they all belong to Wang Shichong's private soldiers. Wang Shichong is willing to take a step back and hand over this position, which is already very rare. No matter how delusional he was, it was impossible to leave his soldiers and horses behind. But Chen Sheng has his own 5,000 watt gang jīng soldiers as the backing, and of course he is not worried about ending up as a bare-pole commander.

In an instant, all the handover procedures were completed. Yang Gongqing helped Wang Xuanying to turn over and get on the horse, and he walked forward a few steps, took out an invitation from his arms, held it in both hands, bowed down and handed it to Chen Sheng, and said respectfully: "Wang Shangshu has long admired the prestige of the generalissimo, and he only hates to go to Rì and have no chance to meet." Now that the same palace is a minister, it is time to be close to each other. Tonight, Wang Shangshu held a banquet in the mansion and invited the generalissimo to the meeting. Please also enjoy the face. ”

"Oh. Wang Shichong wants to have a treat. Chen Sheng picked up the invitation casually and glanced at it twice. Laughing: "Thank you very much." Ask General Yang to report back to Wang Shangshu. I'll be there on time tonight. ”

Yang Gongqing was overjoyed. Immediately bowed down and thanked him. Then he took Wang Xuanying and others and left in a big way. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, as well as the rest of the Wagang leaders, were busy directing the Wagang soldiers to enter the vacated barracks. In fact, Qin Qiong was also an officer of the Great Sui Dynasty before, and belonged to Zhang Xutuo, the ambassador of Henan. Later, Zhang Xutuo was defeated, and Qin Qiong joined Wagangzhai.

Because of this relationship. Therefore, Qin Qiong is very familiar with the various rules and regulations in the Sui Dynasty army. At this time, he was given full authority by Chen Sheng to settle the sergeants. Although things are complicated and complicated, everything is in order. It didn't take long for the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division Yamen to be put into operation. Although the soldiers under his command still had some stumbles in the run-in, it is conceivable that as long as they are given another two or three days, everything will be no longer a problem.

Above the lobby of the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses, Dugu Feng looked at Qin Qiong's busy appearance outside, and couldn't help but admire: "What a cadre." Nephew, you are really blessed to have such a confidant. ”

Chen Sheng shook his head and corrected: "It's not a subordinate, it's a brother." Lao Qin and Lao Cheng, as well as all the leaders up and down Wagang, are all Chen's brothers. Chen never treated them as human beings. ”

Dugufeng is from a high-ranking family, and he has always taken the difference between respect and inferiority very seriously. So Chen Sheng's words, he couldn't understand them at all, and he felt even more unbelievable. But now is the time to win over Chen Sheng, and he has no intention of bothering with such "unorthodox" trivial matters. After laughing, he said solemnly: "Then again." Wang Shichong actually sent you an invitation...... Nephew, this is likely to be a Hongmen banquet, and I can't go. ”

Chen Sheng smiled: "Hongmen Banquet? Does Wang Shichong have the ability to be an overlord? I don't know. But even if he is an overlord, I am not Liu Bang. Since people sent invitations, if I didn't even dare to open the door, wouldn't I be laughed at for being too bold? Rest assured. I have my own score for this. ”

Dugu Feng nodded and said, "Since my nephew has an idea, then I won't talk nonsense." Speaking of which, you have been in Luoyang for nearly ten days, but you have not been a guest at Uncle Shi's house once. Haha, our own people, of course, know that you are really not idle. But those outsiders don't know it, and they still think that our two families have something to do. Not so. Tomorrow night, I will have a family banquet, and I will not invite any outsiders, just eat and drink by ourselves, nephew, what do you think. ”

Chen Sheng naturally has nothing to do. I said yes right away. Dugufeng's goal has been achieved, and he will not stay for long, so he will leave immediately. Chen Sheng sat leisurely in the lobby and drank tea with Cheng Yanjin - but Qin Qiong disliked that this old man couldn't help at all, so he asked him to rest and don't get in the way. Cheng Yanjin was also impatient to do those meticulous and trivial work, just happy to be lazy.

However, this old man was impatient to eat tea, and kept screaming to eat tea until the bird faded out of his mouth. In fact, when eating tea at this time, it is not to soak the tea leaves in water and drink them as in later generations, but to eat cake tea.

This cake dumpling tea is first steamed and mashed into tea cakes, which are dried and collected. When eating, grind the tea cake into tea powder and cook it in a pot of boiling water. Add salt to the soup to make it salty. In addition, pepper or peppercorn powder should be added to increase the flavor. After cooking, scoop into a bowl, and then eat hot with the soup and tea powder. In addition, it is also very popular to boil tea powder with green onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint, etc. into thick porridge. With such a tea, Cheng Biting Jin actually said it lightly, Chen Sheng couldn't help but feel funny when he heard it. At that moment, I briefly mentioned to him the way of drinking in the future. Cheng Biting Jin was frightened on the spot, and said that if I want Lao Cheng to eat this kind of tea, it is better to wipe my neck clean and happy. But it provoked a full house of daxiao.

After two or three hours of busy work, everything was finally arranged. Qin Qiong wiped her sweat profusely while coming in to resume her life. Chen Sheng looked out at the sky, but it was almost there. immediately ordered someone to make a dish of water to let Qin Qiong wipe his body clean, and asked him to change into new clothes. Then he went out with Cheng Yanjin and himself to go to Wang Shichong's Shangshu Mansion for a banquet. Shang Qingshan, Xia Yushan, Tang Guoren, Tang Guoyi, Jin Cheng, Niu Gai and other six people stayed behind to clean up the whole thing.
