Chapter 1693 - Proud Soldiers
"You eat first, go and see people after eating, you're in a hurry about the war, right?" Ouyang Yunxiu said.
"What's the hurry? Let them wait! Xiao Chen said, "The special white dragon guards are all arrogant soldiers, usually with eyes on the top of their heads, no one looks at them, now I want to be the deputy marshal, I'm afraid that they will not be convinced, so I have to sharpen their temper." ”
"By the way, boss, Jiang Tiansheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is also here." Lin Qi said.
"Aren't you fooling around?" Xiao Chen was taken aback when he heard this, "Why didn't you say it earlier when he came!" ”
The two White Dragon Guard generals can make them wait, but when the right attendant of the dignified ceremonial department comes, then Xiao Chen should go out to greet him in person, and it would be too rude or even rude to let the family wait.
"I said I was going to come and ask the boss to get up and go out to meet him, but he heard that the boss hadn't gotten up yet, so he wouldn't let me come in and call him, saying that there was nothing to worry about, and he was talking in the fat brother's house at this time." Lin Qi said busily.
Xiao Chen hurriedly drank a bowl of milk tea, ate two pieces of meat, and went straight to the fat man's house, and hurriedly said when he saw Jiang Tiansheng, "Lin Qi, this kid just told me that you were born a brother, and you are not welcome, but it is really too much." ”
"Hahaha, Lord Xiao, what are you polite to your brother? I'm not polite to you. Jiang Tiansheng returned the salute and said, "If you say that, it seems that my brother and I came early in the morning." ”
He didn't call Xiao Chen Marquis, he looked familiar with affection.
"What is the business of Brother Tiansheng?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Actually, no, I just estimate that Lord Xiao you may be about to leave in the next few days, I'm afraid it won't be too late to send it, go out early today, come and say goodbye to you first, and when your Lord returns triumphantly, let's get drunk again." Jiang Tiansheng is really fine.
"Master Jiang is interesting enough, and you ask me if I have any entrustment?" The fat man smiled, "Even if I have any entrustment, I don't dare to tell Lord Jiang, it's like Lu Wenqian, a distant cousin of my sister, is going to take this year's exam, can I still let Lord Jiang take care of him?" ”
"That's not possible, but Lu Wenqian, a junior student, should always go and meet the future teacher, let him prepare more gifts, in case he is lucky enough to win the jinshi in the future, he will not be taken care of by his natural brother? This is called visiting the pier first and then sailing. Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Lu Wenqian? It's a good name, make a fuss, you should always be humble, but I don't know where this Sister Ling, Dean Shangguan, is from? Jiang Tiansheng asked casually.
"Jingzhou people." The fat man said.
"Woo, isn't that our emperor's hometown?" Jiang Tiansheng said, "Sure enough, he is an outstanding person." ”
"If your natural brother is fine, please do it, I'm busy here, I don't have time to chat with you, and when I come back, let's have a good drink." Xiao Chen directly ordered him to be evicted, which meant that he was very close to him, "In addition, your natural brother should not always make any scholarly anger, you should go to the Jiangdong Palace." ”
"Haha, when that prince speaks, he is not as good as King Xuanping." Jiang Tiansheng smiled, "Yesterday, when Lord Liu came to his house to visit, he touched his nose, and I didn't dare to get close to it...... Are you saying that this Duan Fengnian is not a bastard? If you have to rebel, you can't do it, Lord Xiao, or you'll ...... if you're there."
"What's the use of your natural brother complaining to the emperor and telling me?" Xiao Chen smiled, "Hurry up, I still have to see a few people, and I have to go to see the Fengyang King ......"
"King Fengyang is very sick this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see anyone." Jiang Tiansheng had something to say, "Then I'll say goodbye first, if you have something to talk about, I will see that the prince and you two will go here, and Langya will be pacified in less than two months, and you will be able to catch up with the test when you come back." ”
Xiao Chen and the fat man finalized Lu Wenqian's matter in a few words, and Ouyang Yunxiu felt quite magical, so that's it?
In fact, it's okay, many things you think are difficult and complicated, in fact, as long as you worship the right temple gate and worship the right god, it is very easy to do, Xiao Chen is this god.
But some people respect him as a god, and some people don't.
"Your command Zhang Heng, meet the commander." Zhang Heng was about forty years old, burly and majestic, standing in the middle of the house, like an iron tower.
"Under the command of Ma Tianxi, meet the marshal." Ma Tianxi is in his thirties, not tall, extremely stocky, with a rosacea nose red and bright, and a pair of soybean eyes that are shining.
"Well, the two generals have worked hard, please take a seat." Xiao Chen said, "When did you arrive?" ”
"If you go back to Dashuai, I arrived last night, with a total of 12,432 people under my command, and now I am camping in the eastern suburbs of the city and standing by." Zhang Hengdao.
"If you go back to the marshal, you will have 11,300 people under your command, and now the military camp in the area of the imperial tomb in the western suburbs of the city is on standby." Ma Tianxi Road.
"Hmm." Xiao Chen nodded, and said in his heart that it was really the elite White Dragon Guard, the action was really fast, he was only ordered to assemble in Haining Bay yesterday morning, and all the staff arrived in the middle of the night, this assembly and marching speed can be described as quite amazing, but I am afraid that Yan Yunjun is nothing more than that.
I thought they would only arrive tonight, but unexpectedly it was a full five or six hours early.
But they went into the city last night, and if they didn't come to report to Ben Shuai, they shouldn't have been.
"I was supposed to come to see Dashuai last night, but because it was too late, I was afraid of disturbing Dashuai's rest, so I came early in the morning." probably saw Xiao Chen's unhappiness, and Zhang Heng wanted to explain it in a hurry.
"I went to the Xuanping Mansion just now, but the prince hasn't gotten up yet, so I have to come to see the marshal, but I didn't expect the marshal to get up yet." There is a thorn in Ma Tianxi's words.
"I was busy with the prince for a day yesterday, and I fell asleep late at night, so I got up later...... By the way, how is the condition of the prince of Fengyang? Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"The prince is seriously ill, which is distressing." Zhang Heng said, "I can't get up anymore, and I can't speak." ”
"When we went last night, we vomited half a basin of blood." Ma Tianxi frowned.
"Hehe, you went into the city at night, for fear of disturbing Prince Xuanping and Ben Shuai, but aren't you afraid of disturbing Prince Fengyang? Knowing that he was bedridden, he still went to disturb him, but he shouldn't have been! Xiao Chen said coldly.
Zhang Heng and Ma Tianxi looked at each other, speechless, and said in their hearts, it turns out that he is waiting for us here......
Let's just say that he is not so kind, and he will think about our prince!
"King Fengyang is seriously ill, and Ben Shuai is also very worried, but now that the national crisis is at hand, we all have to focus on the war, since you two arrived last night, you should come to say hello to me, it's not Ben Shuai's fault, it will affect many military affairs, for example, I thought you only arrived today, so the logistics supply is not appropriate."
"You don't have to worry about this." Zhang Heng said, "We have our own marching tents, and we also bring rations. ”
"The army is about to go on the march, so we have to let the soldiers live warmer first, eat hoter, or not, I will turn around and order someone to immediately buy some wine and meat to reward the big guys, there is no need to prepare for war today, eat and drink enough, let's set off early tomorrow morning." Xiao Chen said.
