"Brother, thank you for your help just now, and you haven't asked for your name yet?" On horseback, Zhu Shen asked.

"Zhao Zhiyi."

"Oh? Isn't it on par with the legendary sword god? ”

The young general was slightly surprised, not that the other party's name was rare, on the contrary, many people who walked the rivers and lakes called themselves Zhao Zhiyi, but it was a pity that most of them had mediocre swordsmanship, and those who had a little heart would not pretend to be others' prestige.

The king who walked side by side smiled and said:

"When my father was young, he liked to use swords to walk the rivers and lakes, and he also admired that sword god, so he gave me such a name."

"I don't know where Brother Zhao's family lives, and why did they come here along the north side?" The veteran on the side asked.

"I am a person from the capital, and I have heard many stories of soldiers bravely going into battle since I was a child, so I have traveled south and north over the years and enjoyed many different scenery."

Wang Quanquan's tone was calm, not revealing the slightest flaw, how could he not see the temptation between the veteran's words, but he did not resent that the Wang Dynasty Army could have such vigilance, even if the pair of tart and son who were not low status just now were captured by him, they should still take more precautions in private.

Seeing his calm expression, the veteran gradually let down his guard, even if he wanted to use bitter tactics, he couldn't get dozens of people in, and in the end, they all became crippled, and it was worse than death.

Zhu Shen is not the kind of person who is scheming, and he didn't notice anything wrong with the conversation between the two, and continued to ask this chivalrous warrior with outstanding swordsmanship:

"Brother Zhao, how did you know that we would be ambushed, and you came to the rescue?"

"Zhao has a little understanding of the Northern Turkic language, and he just heard those deserters say 'it would be better to go more than ten miles north', so he became suspicious."

Wang Quanquan didn't tell the truth, he just glanced at the other party's impatient appearance, and knew that this kid was looking for bad luck, so he immediately followed and took a look, and the other party really fell into someone else's trap.

Zhu Shen was slightly stunned, not because he had doubts about the words of the king's authority, but the three words "Northern Turkistan" in it, "Brother Zhao is really well-informed, and he still knows about Northern Turkistan." ”

Wang Quanquan was puzzled when he heard this, listening to this meaning, Beitu seemed to be no longer there, Zhu Shen saw him like this, he still didn't doubt it, and explained casually:

"Four hundred years ago, there was indeed a Northern Turbulence north of the dynasty, which was brought together by the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty after being driven away from the Central Plains, and it did not exist for a long time, only about 100 years, and then it was invaded and occupied by a group of nomadic tribes further north, and it was destroyed.

Ordinary people know very little about this kind of thing, and they can't even tell the difference between today's tart and the previous Duo, Tuoba, and Qibi. ”

Wang Quanquan nodded thoughtfully, he didn't expect that in just four hundred years, the northern tribes would evolve so wonderfully, but also, nomads have been unstable and warlike since ancient times, and it is common for them to annex and replace each other.

……

As they talked, they saw the village in front of them, and the outskirts of the village were slightly dilapidated and the smoke had not yet dispersed, and the king finally knew the reason why they did not hesitate to venture deep into the pursuit of the enemy.

"Brother Zhao laughed, in recent years, disasters have occurred frequently, the treasury is empty, the soldiers have not been paid for more than half a year, the food and grass are expensive, the ordnance is old, and we have to face the increasingly severe harassment of tart and despicability, many people can't stand the suffering, and they have become deserters, and our defense line is becoming thinner and thinner."

Wang Quanquan nodded, the other party, as a hundred households, was pitifully rudimentary, and the only armor that could show his identity had lost a lot of scales, and his effect was really limited.

The team went all the way, and as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a big flag fluttering in the distance, and the word "strict" in the middle made the king's authority appear in a moment.

Four hundred years have passed, everything has changed, except for the fluttering military flag, which still seems to be yesterday.

"Yan Jiajun, it's still there..."Wang Quanquan muttered.

"Brother Zhao, let's say this kind of thing in private, don't dare to mention it in front of outsiders, once it is heard by someone with a heart, it will kill you."

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

Now the one in the capital, there is not much ability to govern, but the ability to fabricate charges is a must, no matter whether he is a strong general or a straggler, he has to be surnamed Wang or can only be surnamed Wang, even if he has produced several relatives, the Yan family is no exception.

When he came to the village, Wang Quanquan met the descendant of the Yan family, Yan Guang, the general of the flanks.

The other party looks like he is in his early thirties and looks ordinary, but he can still see a few shadows of his ancestor Yan Jun between his eyebrows, and Wang Quanquan has to praise the strength of the old man's genes.

"Why did it take so long to come back?"

Yan Guang first asked his subordinates, and then saw that there was an additional swordsman next to him, "Who is this?" ”

Takeshen hurriedly introduced:

"This is Zhao Zhiyi Zhao brother, just now we were ambushed by Tart, and it was all up to him to get out of trouble, oh yes, we also captured a father and son, it seems that the status of Tartbei is not low."

"Okay, I'll go and interrogate the two of them first, and you can take this knight to find a place to rest."

"Yes."

……

At night, Wang Quanquan held the spirit stone in the house and quietly breathed it, now it is winter, he can't hear the neighing of summer insects, four hundred years away from the dynasty, he found a long-lost sense of familiarity.

In the afternoon, Wang Quanquan walked around the village, and there were ruins and broken walls and broken limbs and bloodstains everywhere.

At present, he lives in a well-preserved house, and the descendants of the Yan family do not believe in themselves easily, although they do not show it on the surface, but the house is full of dark whistles, and they have suffered similar losses before they came.

In the afternoon, he specially inquired with Zhu Shen, and today's court is no longer as good as it was back then, not only are traitors in charge, but also the government is controlled by a eunuch.

As the king of a country, the descendants of the Wang family have become completely faint monarchs, obsessed with women all day long, and have not been to court for half a year.

After absorbing a high-grade spirit stone, Wang Quanquan opened his eyes, and there was a knock on the door outside the house:

"Brother Zhao, have you slept?"

"Not yet."

Yan Guang, who had not seen anyone all afternoon, pushed the door in, followed by Zhu Shen with a hippie smile.

"I just heard the subordinates who came back mention that Zhao Xiashi's martial arts are superb, and dozens of soldiers were abolished with a raise of his hand, and the father and son from the Tzubei royal family were arrested because of this, and Zhao Xiashi was the first to take credit for this matter.

There is nothing to entertain in the army, only the sorghum-stuffed burning knife is enough, I wonder if Zhao Xia Shi has this Yaxing to have a drink with us? ”

As Yan Guang spoke, he lifted the two wine jars, and Zhu Shen behind him was also carrying two identical ones, looking at the posture if he was not drunk or not.

Wang Quanquan is not a person who spends fun, and after the other party is still an old man, he sees that his personality is very similar to his uncles, so he nodded with a smile:

"Very good, I'm thinking about where to beg for a drink."

When a man goes to the wine table, he can be called a brother after three bowls of yellow soup, and even the bottom of the whole altar has to be revealed.

Zhu Shen poured a large sip of wine on his neck, and then wiped his mouth boldly:

"Brother Zhao, I won't tell you, I haven't tasted a girl until now, the last time I was paid, I went to the door of Fenglai Building for a long time, and I was reluctant to go in."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Guang couldn't help but slap his head, the two originally said that they were here to talk to each other, but this guy drank his head and told his own first.

Wang Quanquan has always liked straightforward people, and immediately patted his chest and said:

"When I return to the capital, I will be the east, and invite the two of you to go to that Fenglai Building to live with him for three days and three nights."

"Is it swollen so that you can break the bank?"

Zhu Shen's face was dark, he had drunk a lot of wine at the moment, and he couldn't speak well, but there was still no red on his face.

Wang Quanquan smiled when he heard this:

"Money is something outside the body, I'm afraid that Brother Zhushen, you won't be able to last that long."

"Fart, Lao Tzu is a dozen dozen on the battlefield, and he still fights ten when he enters the bed!" Once that matter is mentioned, no matter how well-cultivated a man is, he will inevitably blow a few words.

"Okay, let's talk about it, you don't need to hit ten, three. If you stay on the embroidery couch for three days, you can still walk two steps by yourself when you get out of bed, and the money Zhao Moubao will go to the kiln in the future! ”

Wang Quanquan said it arrogantly, and Zhushen, who had never touched a woman and didn't know how bad the bet was, replied even more heroically:

"A word is a certainty, and a drawing is a witness."

After that, he was about to get up and go out to look for a pen and paper, but as soon as he opened the door, a cool breeze blew, and the young man who had drunk a large jar immediately became drunk and fell to the door with a thud.

"Come on, send the bamboo hundred households back to the house."

Yan Guang commanded, then lifted the Haikou bowl and touched it with Wang Quanquan, and the two of them drank it in one gulp.

……

Wang Quanquan drank a jar of wine with a plate of peanuts, and he really couldn't stand it, and said:

"Drink it so dry, no matter how good the wine is, it will be tasteless, General Yan will wait for a while, and Zhao will go to find some snacks."

After saying that, he got up to go out, Yan Guang saw this and glanced at the two subordinates outside the door, the latter was willing to follow the king's authority, and not long after leaving, the two hurriedly ran back.

"General, no...... Nope. ”

"Lost?" Yan Guang immediately woke up halfway through.

"The man swooped and disappeared, and we seemed to touch ...... I've run into a ghost. One said with a slight horror.

"How can a good big living person say that there is no and that there is nothing?"

Yan Guangjiu had already woken up, and the two people he sent out were all good at scouting, and they would not be lost easily, so it could only show that the person did have a ghost in his heart, so he tried his best to get rid of the two.

Yan Guang walked to the door, and was hesitating to gather people to search for him, when he saw a white figure coming from not far away, carrying a food box in his hand.

"Yo, General Yan is tired of drinking, come out to blow the night breeze?"

"Where did Zhao Xiashi go just now?"

"No, let's go find the appetizers."

Wang Quanquan carried the food box and skipped the three of them into the room, put the box on the table and opened it, and the aroma suddenly filled the whole room.

At the top of the food box was a plate of braised prawns, and there were braised pork, roast chicken, etc., and the eyes of the two scouts next to him were staring out.

There is only this village within a radius of more than ten miles, and the other party came and went in less than a quarter of an hour, and got a table of hot hard dishes, which did not look like what could be found in this mountain.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and eat?"

Wang Quanquan said, took the lead in picking up a prawn and stuffing it into his mouth, Yan Guang hesitated, sat on the opposite side, picked up a piece of braised pork, and looked at it again.

He has led his troops to fight for so many years, and he has seen a lot of strange things to himself, but this is the first time he has encountered it in front of him.

He thought that the other party would hunt some pheasants and hares at most, even if he carried back a bear would not be strange, but he didn't expect to get back a food box, knowing that the nearest restaurant nearby would be dozens of miles.

Just as he was thinking about whether to put his mouth down, one of his subordinates couldn't bear it anymore, and reached out to pull off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly his nose was bubbling with the fragrance.

Yan Guang raised his hand to stop it, but when he saw that the other party was starving to death, most of the chicken legs were in his stomach in the blink of an eye.

After a while, his subordinates still did not show discomfort, and Yan Guang tentatively put the braised pork with pulp into his mouth, chewed it lightly a few times, and the unique aroma of pork went straight to the Tianling Gai, and the taste was also full of déjà vu.

The only scout who didn't move quickly was still a little worried in his heart, he had heard since he was a child that there were foxes and ghosts in the wilderness that used magic to cover people's eyes, and then used some horse manure and toads to trick people into eating them.

While he was hesitating, his companion handed him a chicken wing and said:

"What are you doing? Eat! We fought with the tart all day long, and we didn't know if there was a next meal after eating this meal. ”

"Fuck, fight!"

As if determined to die, the man bit down on the chicken wing, and then froze there again.

It's not that the food in his hand has really become a toad, but that he has eaten this taste, and it is a famous restaurant in Changrong City in the south.

While chewing the chicken, he said to Yan Guang:

"General, this dish seems to be made by the master of the guest house."

Yan Guang frowned slightly, picked up a prawn and tasted it carefully, it was indeed with a little meaning, and his subordinates continued:

"Can't be wrong, their roast chicken is coated with honey and wrapped in lotus leaves, and I will never forget the taste in my life."

The last time they were paid, a few of them went to the restaurant to make a tooth sacrifice, and a few old men ordered a roast chicken, and in the end they even smashed the bones to the point that they were tasteless, and the dogs frowned.

……

Listening to the conversation between the three of them, Wang Quanquan silently stretched out his hand to the food box at his feet, and gently stroked his fingers, erasing the three bronzing words "Huike Building" on the surface of the box.

By now, Yan Guang had already determined that the young man in front of him was unusual, but he was afraid of startling the snake, so he coughed lightly and said:

"You must be mistaken, the taste of the dishes in the guest house is heavier than this, besides, Changrong City is far from here, even if Brother Zhao uses Fei, he may not come back and forth so quickly."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Quanquan's face immediately became a little weird, just now in order to hurry, he did use flying, and those guys in the sky did not allow themselves to use immortal magic to harm people, but they didn't say that they couldn't hurry.

He lowered his head and tried not to let the other party see his expression clearly, but in Yan Guang's eyes, this became more and more like a thief, so he asked tentatively:

"Brother Zhao, I heard that you are going to the capital, I don't know if you are looking for a high school or visiting relatives and friends?"

"Visiting relatives."

"Zhao Xia Shi has such skills, he must be from a famous family."

Wang Quanquan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said truthfully:

"In the past, it was indeed a prestigious family, and I had to give some face when I saw this piece of the capital, but in recent years, there have been a few unfilial descendants, and the family has been ruined, I don't want to go back to take a look, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in the future."

"There are still such families in the capital?"

If it had been left in the past, Yan Guang would have really been able to tell whether this was true or false, but now the Yan family has long since left the capital, and only their father and son are left in this generation, and the only one who can get his hands on it is probably the title of "generation of loyalty".

"In this way, I wish Brother Zhao a smooth visit to his relatives."

"General Yan is also victorious."

The two of them said, raising their hands to touch the wine bowls together.
