Chapter 167: Father-in-law Wei
The wind and leaves are falling, and the ground is full of devastation.
Outside Le'an City, the soldiers of the Xiangzhou camp have long disappeared, leaving only Gonggong Wei and the soldiers of the Zhongzhou camp.
Seeing Mo Li's power, Gonggong Wei retreated at this time, Le'an City, a small city far away from the Celestial Empire, made him undecided. Regardless of whether Chen Yuqing, the city lord of Le'an City, was really willing to hand over the jurisdiction of Le'an City, Mo Li's ruthless role alone made him retreat. If he led the army into the city, and Mo Li stood up to stop it at this time, then they would have no backhand at all, if he didn't take over Le'an City, how would he think about His Majesty and the two holy queens to return to their lives.
In a dilemma, Gonggong Wei secretly scolded the Xiangzhou army in his heart for being so weak and throwing such a big problem to himself. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't help but be ruthless, and when he found an opportunity, he must be ruthless to join the king of Zhennan.
When Father-in-law Wei was in trouble, the gate of Le'an City was opened with a "squeak", and Father-in-law Wei looked at the open gate with a vigilant face, only to see Chen Yuqing leading everyone out without a weapon. Gonggong Wei's heart eased at this time, and he whispered a few words to the commander beside him, and then drove his horse towards the city gate, and the soldiers of Zhongzhou followed slowly, and the lineup was not a trace of messiness.
Chen Yuqing hurriedly greeted Father-in-law Wei, saluted and said, "The lower officials are late to greet him, and please atone for his sins." ”
Gonggong Wei looked at the generals behind Chen Yuqing, all of them were fierce and heroic, and he couldn't help but admire, there are such heroic soldiers in the small Le'an City everywhere, and how many soldiers can I have in my huge Celestial Empire who can match them. Now above the court, the civil and military officials are still drunk and dreaming of death, if it weren't for the help of the monks, my Heavenly Dynasty would have ended sooner. Thinking of this, Gonggong Wei sneered disdainfully, if it weren't for the fact that these ministers were thinking about the gains and losses of the family all day long, how could he have a bright future.
Although these eunuchs of Wei Gonggong have a body of cultivation, but there is no shortage of capable people in those scholars, they are not less crowded out by these scholars on weekdays, and the dilapidated municipal party committee of the Celestial Empire is just a thought, and then he is full of disdain, he hopes that the more chaotic the world, the better, and it is best for the heroes of various states to rise up and fight it, so that he can be stable in this troubled world and be decent in front of a person. He thinks he has no ambitions, he just wants to be above 10,000 people under one person, let the people of the world call him "nine thousand years old", and be able to sit on an equal footing with those scholars and regain his former dignity.
He also understands better in his heart that there is still no one who can call the shots in this world. It is precisely because there is no definite number that he can maneuver from it, he will not pin his future on a milky child and two weak female streamers, he wants to establish prestige in the Celestial Empire as soon as possible, cultivate his own power, and wait for Allah to enter the dynasty and fight back in one fell swoop.
He vaguely remembered that winter that year, the whole land was covered in silver, the snow was surprisingly heavy, the weather was unusually cold, the eaves of the palace hung down icicles for several feet, and he was so hungry that he was almost frozen. He knelt on the ground and begged the guards guarding the palace gate to give him something to eat, and was beaten by the guards guarding the door, and he was lying on the ground on his laurels, just when the master came back from running errands outside the palace, he saw him when he passed by the palace gate, and took him back to the palace. In the master's room, trembling around the fire, the master's kind smile rekindled hope in his already dead heart.
He remembered the first words of the master when he saw him: "Those of us are born humble, if we want to be fed and clothed, we must not only know how to understand current affairs, but also know how to fight." Only like wolves will others be afraid. ”
These words were imprinted in his heart like an imprint, and from then on, his heart was never warmed again, and not a single tear was shed again, until he pierced the master's chest with a sword, and the moment the master died, his heart warmed again, and once again shed tears of confusion.
He hugged the master's thin body, kept sobbing, and covered the bloody wound with his hand, he remembered the master saying: "You learn quickly, and you have to fight to be a man." From this day forward, you must also learn to be grateful. ”
This was the last sentence that the master said before he died, he didn't understand what gratitude was, he always remembered to fight as a man, but when the sword pierced the master's chest, his heart hurt. Later, he got his wish and became the head of Ouchi, and soon after several rounds, when others were greedy for life and afraid of death, he resolutely stood up and asked for his life to come here. With this success, he will sit firmly in the position of the governor of the capital, and he will have 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Celestial Empire.
Feeling the wind blowing with a hint of warmth blowing in his face, looking at Chen Yuqing and the soldiers of Le'an City under the horse, he silently thought in his heart: "Master, you are wrong, only by fighting can you be glorious in front of others." ”
"Du Du!" Chen Yuqing's voice came from his ears, and Grandpa Wei's thoughts returned to reality, he looked at Chen Yuqing and asked, "City Lord Chen, your Chen clan has been in Le'an City for many years, and now you are really willing to hand it over to our family?"
Chen Yuqing said with a smile: "The governor is joking, the whole world is not the king's land, this Le'an City belongs to His Majesty, since His Majesty ordered the Governor to come and take over, how dare the lower officials disobey." ”
Gonggong Wei smiled and said: "City Lord Chen, I am really a loyal minister of my Heavenly Dynasty, and our family is also acting under orders, and in the future, in terms of the management and operation of Le'an City, there will be a lot of advice from City Lord Lao Chen." ”
"Where the Governor speaks, it is a great honor for my Chen family to be able to serve the Governor. Chen Yuqing still smiled, and then turned to the soldiers behind him and said: "Governor Wei took over Le'an City today, in the future, you need to serve the governor and the Celestial Empire, if anyone dares to disobey, don't blame me Chen Yuqing for being ruthless!"
"Meet the Grand Duke!"
Although Gonggong Wei looked at those soldiers and expressed some dissatisfaction, he was satisfied after all. Chen Yuqing does things so well, as long as he controls him, he is afraid that something will happen in this Le'an City. Thinking of this, Gonggong Wei clenched his fists and said: "All the soldiers have worked hard to guard Le'an City, take me to settle everything, and ask the Holy Lord for your credit." ”
"Thank you, Grand Duke!"
Chen Yuqing asked, "Governor Wei, do you want to invite the soldiers into the city, or?"
Gonggong Wei nodded and said, "There is the city lord of Lao Chen." ”
"Into the city. ”
Dozens of people and horses could not be said to be spectacular, and they entered the city in accordance with the rules, attracting onlookers from the people in the city.
Under the arrival of the soldiers of Xiangzhou, Qingzhou and Zhongzhou, especially when Chen Liu, Zuo Ling and Qingzhou faced each other, the great movement had already made the people in the city uneasy, and they finally made this time different from usual. In the past, when the enemy attacked, General Chen was always able to retreat from the enemy, but now the wind and clouds have changed color, thunder and lightning, especially when they saw a few people flying in the air and fighting, they finally realized that Le'an City may not be safe.
Now, seeing that City Lord Chen personally opened the door to welcome a eunuch wearing armor into the city, the stone in his heart finally landed, no matter who came, they were finally safe.
Gonggong Wei looked at the prosperous scene in the city, and his heart was also shocked, no wonder the rich businessmen in the world all went to live in this Le'an City.
Under the leadership of Chen Yuqing and others, the soldiers of Zhongzhou went to the school to set up camp, while Gonggong Wei and the little eunuch who accompanied him, as well as several monks, followed Chen Yuqing to the city lord's mansion.
