Chapter 11 The First Gathering of the Six Heroes of Jinling
When Yang Yingqian returned to Cao Run's Mansion, everyone didn't get up, only a few subordinates from Cao's Mansion were cleaning the yard, and when the subordinates saw Yang Yingqian coming back, they all knew that this was the lord's honored guest, and they all hurriedly stopped their work to greet Yang Yingqian, and Yang Yingqian responded with a smile one by one.
Walking into the main hall, Yang Yingqian sat on the first chair, maybe the strength of last night's wine had not been exhausted, Yang Yingqian felt that his mouth was a little dry, and he looked at a pot of tea on the tea table next to him, regardless of whether it was overnight tea, he poured it into the teacup and drank a cup with his head up.
The tea was warm, Yang Yingqian smacked his lips and tasted it, feeling good, so he drank another cup. Two cups of tea into the abdomen, the discomfort of the body was relieved a little, and Yang Yingqian couldn't help but think back to all the things last night, as if in a dream, he couldn't help but be a little distracted.
At this moment, Xie Shangzheng, who was stretching his waist, passed in front of the main hall and saw Yang Yingqian who was in a daze in the house.
"Brother Yang, you're back! How did you feel last night? Xie Shangzheng walked into the house in a few steps and patted Yang Yingqian's shoulder with a narrow expression.
"Huh?" Yang Yingqian was stunned by Xie Shangzheng's brainless question.
Xie Shangzheng patted Yang Yingqian's shoulder lightly again, with an expression that I understand.
"After my cousin and I came back last night, I wanted to wait for you to come back and our brothers had a few more drinks, but only your two pro-soldiers came back, and your pro-soldier captain surnamed Sun still refused to say, if it weren't for Brother Liu's frank confession, brother I wouldn't know that you were invited by Miss Meisheng!"
After Xie Shangzheng finished speaking, he looked at Yang Yingqian meaningfully.
At this time, Yang Yingqian had already scolded Liu Daniu hundreds of times in his heart, and smiled bitterly at the moment: "Brother Xie, don't misunderstand, Miss Meisheng just invited me to talk about poetry last night!" ”
But Xie Shangzheng didn't believe it, and still smiled cheaply that all brothers knew: "Brother Yang, don't worry, the brothers will keep this matter secret for you, and they will never say that they know with Liulang!" ”
Yang Yingqian glanced at Xie Shangzheng with contempt, this year, people have this ideological consciousness? No wonder he couldn't beat the wild boar skin, and he didn't explain it at the moment, but poured another cup of tea and brought it to his mouth.
How do you know that Xie Shangzheng beside him sighed faintly: "It's just that the identity of Meisheng girl can only be your concubine, and she can't become a wife!" ”
Yang Yingqian thought he was going to say something, but then a sip of tea squirted out far away, glared at Xie Shangzheng helplessly, stood up and was about to walk out of the main hall.
Seeing that Yang Yingqian was leaving, Xie Shangzheng hurriedly took a few steps and grabbed Yang Yingqian's sleeve.
"Brother Yang is slow, brother has something to discuss with Brother Yang!"
Yang Yingqian turned around, the banter on Xie Shangzheng's face was completely gone, and Yang Yingqian's face couldn't help but become solemn at the moment, Xie Shangzheng made a gesture of please, and the two walked to the table and sat down.
Xie Shangzheng picked up the teapot on the table and refilled Yang Yingqian's teacup, and then sat opposite Yang Yingqian and looked at Yang Yingqian fixedly.
"Brother Yang, when we were in Wanqing Building last night, I overheard Brother Sun talking about some things you did in Yongningwei."
"Brother Yang has only been in office for a few months, and he has used thunderous measures to eliminate redundant personnel, integrate military households, and even the method of military training is unheard of by brothers, I think Brother Yang has done so many things, it can't be just for the sake of the tobacco business, right?"
Xie Shangzheng looked at Yang Yingqian with a smile after speaking, as if he wanted to see the answer from his eyes.
"I don't know what Brother Xie wants to say?" Yang Yingqian looked at Xie Shangzheng and said.
Xie Shangzheng seemed to be a little tired, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"Brother Yang should know that there are still a few months before the spring season, and Liulang and Zilong will leave for Beijing to take the exam in a few days."
Listening to Xie Shangzheng's words, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Brother Hong, Brother Zhan, aren't you also famous as a martial artist? Why didn't they go to Beijing with Zilong? ”
Xie Shangzheng sighed lightly: "Now that I have strong enemies outside and traitors inside, I am really worried about internal and external troubles. But Wei Gelding is now very arrogant, Zilong's righteous indignation last night is afraid that it will be difficult to realize, even the head of the dynasty, Lord Fuye, has nothing to do with Wei Eunuch now, and has to avoid his edge, Zilong They are afraid that even if they are admitted to the Jinshi, it will be difficult to do anything in the court. ”
Yang Yingqian listened to Xie Shangzheng's words quietly, and from his words, he could feel that Xie Shangzheng was a long-term person, and he was a little more strategic than Chen Zilong's scholarly spirit.
Seeing that Yang Yingqian was looking at himself, Xie Shangzheng met his scrutinizing gaze.
"So last night I discussed with An Lan and Mao Zhi, now that the imperial court is employing people, instead of getting the title of Jinshi who is difficult to achieve, it is better to join the army and spill blood on the frontier, which is also worthy of the cultivation of the imperial court for many years!"
At this point, Xie Shangzheng's emotions couldn't help but be a little excited, and his face was flushed, and Yang Yingqian seemed to have a premonition that he was going to say something.
"Originally, the three of us discussed going to Liaodong, but there was no way, I happened to get acquainted with Brother Yang, and after hearing what Brother Yang did in Yongning, I knew that Brother Yang must be a person who did great things, so the three of us wanted to go to Yongning to join Brother Yang!"
Yang Yingqian was still a little surprised when he heard this, after all, with their identity as martial artists, after high school, they were also a third- or fourth-grade military attaché, and the little Yongningwei was also a third-grade military attaché, and they were under their own hands, and they were afraid that they would not even be able to mix with a fifth-grade official.
"The three brothers are so loving, Ying Qian is flattered, but if he goes to Yongning, I'm afraid he won't be able to give the three too high official positions." Yang Yingqian looked at Xie Shangzheng and smiled.
Hearing this, Xie Shangzheng laughed: "Brother Yang, be relieved, if it is an official position, we will go to Wei Gelding, as long as we can serve the country, even if we are a pawn!" ”
Hearing Xie Shangzheng's bold words, Yang Yingqian's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited, and he stood up at the moment: "This time I came to Nanjing, I have gained a lot, and with the help of several brothers, I Yongningwei will revive the military style just around the corner!" ”
Seeing that Yang Yingqian agreed to his request, Xie Shangzheng was very excited, and hurriedly got up and said that he would bring Hong Anlan and a few of them, and everyone would rest as soon as they got drunk.
At noon that day, Hong Anlan and others gathered in Caofu, and the six of them were drunk again, and Chen Zilong's indignation broke out again during the banquet.
Several people reported their birthdays respectively, Xie Shangzheng was the oldest and ranked first, Yang Yingqian was second, Hong Anlan was third, Chen Zilong was fourth, Zhan Hao was fifth, and Qin Liulang was the youngest and ranked last, but he was one of his six langs.
After the worship, Xie Shangzheng said with a smile that there were Taoyuan three knots in ancient times, and now there are six brothers and six heroes of Jinling gathered together, which can be regarded as imitating the ancients.
After that day, Chen Zilong and Qin Liulang returned home and went to Beijing to take the exam a few days later. Before leaving, he agreed with Yang Yingqian and a few others that if he was in high school, he would return to Nanjing to meet his brothers.
A few days later, Yang Yingqian followed Cao Run to meet the shopkeepers of the branches under his firm, and Yang Yingqian really felt that Cao Run's business was indeed not small, not only in Shandong, Huguang, Henan and other provinces, but even the Mongolian departments had contacts, and it seemed that his tobacco would not be sold in the future.
After arranging the business, Yang Yingqian also went to Wanqing Building to say goodbye to Gu Hengbo, and agreed to come to Nanjing next time to ask her for help in writing, and then Yang Yingqian was ready to return to Yongningwei, and Xie Shangzheng and the three of them had already packed up and returned with Yang Yingqian.
Perhaps because of the return to the heart like an arrow, when a few people returned to Yongning, they were much faster than when they came, and they had already arrived in Hui'an County, which was not far from Yongningwei, after only half a day's effort.
After entering Hui'an County, the six people slowed down their horses, allowing people and horses to rest.
Xie Shangzheng and the three of them have never been to Fujian, but they are very interested in the humanities of Fujian, and they look left and right along the way.
"Second brother, I went to say goodbye to Miss Meisheng just now, I looked at Miss Meisheng's expression, but I was quite reluctant, like the role of Miss Meisheng, the second brother should grasp it well." Xie Shangzheng admired the surrounding scenery and said to Yang Yingqian casually.
Of course, Yang Yingqian understood what Xie Shangzheng meant, but Gu Hengbo had only met him once, and he only met the second time today, if you want to say that this is a deep-rooted love for him, this situation will only appear in TV dramas.
Gu Hengbo should just admire him more at this time, after all, those two poems are still quite bluffing.
Moreover, in the prosperous place of Jinling, there are not a few high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are more talented and famous, and they are far away in Yongning, maybe the next time she comes to Nanjing, she may marry a wife, and her top priority is to quickly let Yongningwei form a certain combat effectiveness, Yang Yingqian vaguely remembers that the foreign war of the Ming Dynasty during the Apocalypse has not stopped.
Before Yang Yingqian could recover from his contemplation, a fierce fighting sound mixed with the sound of weapons colliding came from the woods not far ahead.
Suddenly, a young man with a sword in his hand rushed out of the woods, the young man seemed to be wounded, covered in blood, and stumbled a little. Five large men dressed in black with red belts around their waists, armed with steel knives, followed the young man out of the woods and surrounded him in the middle.
Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss, the young man's resistance seemed a little weak.
When there was a sudden change just now, Sun Dayong and Liu Daniu drew their sabers to protect Yang Yingqian behind them, and Xie Shangzheng and the three of them also pulled out their swords and looked ahead vigilantly.
Sun Dayong was a monk in South Shaolin, Putian before joining the army, and traveled to the south and north, and had a lot of insight into the martial arts schools in various places.
"That kid with a sword is not low, he should be a master of the house, even if I am not his opponent in normal times, I should have been conspired against before I was entangled by these people." Sun Dayong said with a frown.
As he spoke, the young man was stabbed again, and then fell to the ground unconscious, and one of the men in black was about to mend the knife, but was grabbed by another man in black and pointed in the direction of Yang Yingqian.
The men seemed to be afraid of revealing their whereabouts, and when they found out that their actions were being seen, they quickly burrowed into the woods, leaving only the young man lying on the ground covered in blood, and his life and death were unknown.........
