Chapter Ninety-Two: The Twin Fools in Beijing
Wang Quanquan stared at the tombstone for a while, and finally turned into a long breath of turbidity.
He turned around and was about to leave, but he noticed that at some point, there were two more women behind him, one of whom was holding a baby in her arms.
The two women are no strangers to Wang Quanquan, it is Hongxing, who went out of Beijing with Wang Zhangquan that day, and Nian Nu, a servant girl who has assassinated him many times.
It should be a happy event to meet someone in a foreign country, but in the current situation, it is not happy at all.
Nian Nu was the first to recognize Wang Quanquan and nodded at him, while Hongxing was staring at the tombstone not far ahead, his expression full of sadness.
The current red apricot, how can there be a little bit of the grace of the time when he was an oiran? is clearly an ordinary woman with fine lines at the corners of her eyes and a slightly bloated body, and now, she has added a middle-aged widower.
Wang Quanquan turned sideways, after seeing the inscription, the big tears of the bean instantly rolled down from the corners of her eyes, she walked to the grave step by step, knelt on the ground, and then lay on the tombstone and cried, the baby in her arms probably sensed the mother's sadness, and also cried.
The sound of the wind carried the cries of mother and child and drifted into the distance.
……
Wang Quanquan went to Hongxing's residence before leaving, and the conditions were indeed very difficult.
Although the room is not leaking on all sides, it is only covered by tiles, and the furniture looks like old goods that have been retrieved, and even the cups are covered by thick patches, and the original color can only be vaguely distinguished.
Hongxing still hasn't recovered from the grief of Wang Zhangquan's death, Wang Quanquan wanted to persuade a few words, but finally chose to give up, he didn't know what happened between them, and he didn't know how they got through the most difficult days.
Coming to the side of Nian Nu, whose mood was still stable, Wang Quanquan said softly:
"Before he died, Wang Zhiqi asked me to help take care of his children, and I agreed. If you have difficulties in the future, just go to the capital to find me. ”
Niannu just nodded, but did not answer.
"Alas......" Wang Quanquan sighed, and then silently placed a stack of silver tickets on the only table in the room, which was already all he had, and of course, all that Liu Luming had.
The dynasty has always compensated the families of the deceased soldiers, not only a large pension at that time, but also a condolence payment from the local yamen every month in the future. Therefore, Wang Quanquan is not worried about the future life of several people, he is more worried about whether they can survive the hurdle in his heart.
After all, it is never a hard life that crushes a camel, but the last straw.
When things were arranged, Wang Quanquan and Liu Luming marched to Beijing with a thousand soldiers, and the 1,000 muskets they brought were left in Kaipingwei to teach the Gan army how to use them before leaving.
These muskets were originally prepared for the frontier. Yesterday, Kaiping Wei Qianhu saw with his own eyes that only 1,000 people had annihilated all 10,000 enemy troops unscathed, so he naturally accepted these weapons of mass destruction unceremoniously. Before leaving, he gave Wang Quanquan several jars of private treasured wine, but Wang Quanquan was stubborn and had to accept it.
Wang Quanquan They left in the afternoon, and according to the normal marching speed, the thousand-person team could reach the capital in the next day, but Liu Luming was restless, saying that he had finally made a great contribution, and he couldn't enter the city so quietly.
So they rested for one night a hundred miles north of the capital, and the next day the group entered the city.
As it turned out, the wait was worth it.
Liu Luming took the lead in entering the city, and as soon as he entered the city, he found that the city was full of lights, and the streets were surrounded by people waiting here.
Although the imperial court was afraid that the people's hearts would be unstable, they deliberately blocked the news, but how could Kaipingwei get too close, and the news of the war quickly spread among the ordinary people, if the city gate was not blocked in advance, I am afraid that many people would have fled from the city.
Originally, the people were still complaining about this, feeling that this time it was difficult to escape. Unexpectedly, only a day later, the news of the victory came out again, and some well-informed people knew the whole story in advance.
Liu Luming's deeds of leading a thousand cavalry to sweep away the Northern Turkistan army gradually spread, and no one expected that Liu Luming, who was once known as one of the "two fools in Beijing", would have such a ability, so the people spontaneously waited at the city gate.
They can wait from the afternoon to the evening, and the soldiers who have not returned in triumph have not been seen until the curfew.
Liu Luming can be described as "the spring breeze is proud" at this moment, I saw him standing on the horse with a red face, waving to the people while walking, and the horse under his crotch seemed to be infected, and the small broken steps were fast.
"By the way, Brother Wang, I always heard rumors that I was a double fool in Beijing, but now I can be regarded as raising my eyebrows?"
Liu Luming smiled and waved to the crowd, while not forgetting to chat with the king on the side, he enjoyed this treatment very much, especially the admiration in the eyes of the little daughter-in-law on the roadside, which made him quite useful.
In order to keep a low profile, Wang Quanquan deliberately put on the previous mask again, and he replied with a smile: "Not only is it raising eyebrows, it is simply slapping the faces of those who look down on you." ”
Liu Luming laughed even happier when he heard this, and then he was puzzled again: "By the way, I always listen to what they say about the double stupidity in Beijing, if you have the opportunity, you must make friends with another hero in this rumor, after all, if you can be as famous as me, you must also be a person with lofty ideals who has never met talents!" ”
Wang Quanquan pulled the corners of his mouth and didn't reply, and he could guess who the other one in this "double fool" was with his eyes closed, and Liu Luming still belonged to the deputy position, he was the one in the main position.
Liu Luming is enjoying it very much now, he can't wait to walk back and forth eight laps on the main street of Jingshi, Wang Quanquan has no interest in the other party, the northwest party has seen a lot of life and death, and now he feels physically and mentally exhausted, so when Liu Luming went around to the third circle, he turned around and said goodbye, and the thousand-person Jinghu guard also returned to Jinghu as early as the end of the first circle.
All of a sudden, only Liu Luming, who was tall and big at the scene, was still wearing the safflower, and those who didn't know thought he was getting married today.
When Liu Luming walked the first lap, the people were sincerely grateful, the second lap was out of respect, and the third lap was already out of politeness. After all, it is already noon, except for Liu Luming, who is riding a horse leisurely, no one thinks that facing the sun is a thing worth enjoying.
It wasn't until he turned to the fourth lap that the people on the scene couldn't bear it anymore, and they all had a thought in their hearts: Why does this guy have no skin and no face.
So the crowd began to disperse gradually, and the streets of the capital returned to their former scene: those who sold things sold things, and those who went shopping.
