Chapter 291: Ruan Xiaoer, who committed Peach Blossom
I don't know if he has been seriously arrested, but with Li Kui's letter of recommendation, Pang Wanchun will at least not be buried in the army. The worst thing is that the main general Cheng Zhijie will look at Li Kui's face, and he will not treat Pang Wanchun badly.
Cheng Zhijie is nothing now. is just the commander of the Tiger Battalion, the guerrilla general's inappropriate identity, and he doesn't even have a serious identity. But as long as he has trained 3,000 men and horses, once he sets foot on the battlefield in the northwest, he can be promoted to commander and become a senior general in the army.
The brother-in-law of the emperor's concubine all went to the northwest battlefield to die...... No, it's a war for the country, how can it not even give a little benefit?
At that time, Pang Wanchun, the captain of the pro-soldiers, will naturally rise to the top.
As for the title of Li Kui?
Obviously, Pang Wanchun has been cited by Cheng Zhijie as a confidant, otherwise he would not have raised Li Kui's identity to the same height as his master. This is humility, not friendship.
Li Kui unfolded the letter, read it at a glance, and asked, "How did you let her know?" ”
The general was not at ease, so he passed the carrier pigeon to the Taishi. specially asked Shi Yuhou to help. ”
Looking at people depends on the edge of their eyes, Pang Wanchun gave Li Kui a good impression, but now because of the identity problem, even talking to each other seems to be a lot more different. Li Kui heard that Pang Wanchun was grateful to him in his heart, but waved his hand and said: "Brother Pang, you and I are friends, although we don't have deep friendships, but we are familiar at first sight, just call me by my name in the future!" ”
"How can this be? Before, my brother and sister didn't know that Li Gongzi's identity was noble and attached to the noble, but now my brother and sister have received a lot of favor from Li Gongzi, how can I not be grateful? Besides, Li Gongzi is a talented man who is destined to become a civil official, and he is already fortunate to be similar to Li Gongzi in the next life, and he does not dare to win Long Wangshu, and he is insatiable. ”
Pang Wanchun didn't think much about it because of the identity issue, this is a matter of dignity and inferiority, and it is a gap that he dare not cross if he says anything. He is a martial artist, or a martial artist without official status, to put it bluntly, he is a pawn, how dare he call a civil official who may become a jinshi in the near future?
It's just a big rebellion, okay?
What's more, when I first met Li Kui on the road, the other party was just a fledgling scholar, who had just passed the county exam, and was on the way to Yizhou to catch the exam. Even so, Li Kui took good care of him and made him grateful.
Although, this kind of care is nothing to Li Kui.
But for Pang Wanchun, it is simply a reborn parent. is not only the kindness of sending the bow, but the most important thing is the letter of recommendation that Li Kui gave him. His sister has now entered the Taishi Mansion and is working as a personal maid in front of the fifth lady.
Even if it's a maid identity, it depends on who follows.
The fifth lady is the most favored little master in the Taishi Mansion, the daughter of the Taishi. Pang Qiuxia followed Liu Qingqian, it can be said that she eats well, dresses well, and has status when she goes out, at least much stronger than his status as a non-commissioned soldier of the forbidden army. And Pang Wanchun also gained the trust of Cheng Zhijie because of Li Kui's recommendation, and arranged the leader of the guard.
This is a beautiful thing that Pang Wanchun couldn't think of before.
But Li Kui arranged it.
This time, he came to Sucheng to repay Li Kui's kindness, which is completely different from following orders. At critical times, he is also a person who can work hard.
"Isn't a name just what people call it?" Li Kui is not very willing, and his status as a master and servant wants to win him over, which is more troublesome for him. It would be nice to be friends. After all, as a friend, you should at least be able to tolerate Li Kui's shortcomings, right?
"Li Gongzi, please don't embarrass the villain!"
Pang Wanchun resolutely refused, and Li Kui had no choice but to go with him.
Li Kui is not an old-fashioned person, and he does not have a deep concept of respect and inferiority. In addition, the reason why he is close to Pang Wanchun is mainly because he wants to dig into the corner of Cheng Zhijie. Pang Wanchun doesn't have to worry about his trust, and his methods are also clever, especially his superb archery skills, which are simply unheard of.
Of course, Li Kui also thought about digging Shi Wengong's corner.
But the problem is, this guy is not easy to dig. Shi Wengong is not Pang Wanchun, he is a talent who has seen the world, especially in the Imperial Boxing Gym for many years, and his ordinary identity can't win him over at all.
Now Liu Baosheng is already a master, a special class, although he has no power, he is just an idle high-ranking official, but no matter how you say it, he is also a master! He was full of food and went to Li Kui? Not to mention snare it under the door.
Pang Wanchun is different, born between the micro and the end, walking on the top of Qianmo, is a small person living at the bottom.
The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring.
This sounds very touching, but when it is broken down, it is the return of the little person to the benefactor after he grows up.
Facing the rigid Pang Wanchun, Li Kui can only have him. There is a way to solve the problem of each other's identities, that is, Li Kui married Pang Qiuxia......
But how is it different from an animal to do so?
Pang Qiuxia is just a teenager!
Li Kui was also quite helpless, so he had to arrange for Pang Wanchun to go down to prepare for rest and set off tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, it rained heavily that night, and it rained for two days in a row. This made Li Kui and others a little impatient. Since Cheng Zhijie is ready to come with troops in person, he will inevitably not come to Sucheng.
According to the geographical location of Guangji Junzhou, the easiest way for Cheng Zhijie to travel is by boat.
There is no shortage of boats in Guangji Military Prefecture, and the establishment of this military town is to protect the Guangji River, not only the Guangji River, but also the imperial court from Kaifeng Mansion to the Liaohai Sea, including the Guangji River, the Wuzhang River, the Beiqing River, and the Jishui, which connect these water systems.
The reason is very simple, the Yellow River slipped into the territory of the Liao State carelessly, and it couldn't be pulled back, and the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty and the prime ministers of the court could only stare dryly.
First, the Central Plains needs a river to undertake the drainage project of the Central Plains. In addition, Dengzhou and other places also need to meet the transportation needs of the Central Plains. As a last resort, it took more than ten years to build this canal of more than 700 miles.
Part is a canal, part is a natural water system.
The main responsibility of the Guangji Military Prefecture is to protect the security of this Central Plains and the nearest outlet to the sea.
However, in recent years, due to the silting up of the Wuzhang River and the shrinking of the water system near Yangsanbo, this canal, which has been pinned on high hopes, cannot even be crossed by large ships. It has become a mystery how Cheng Zhijie chose to march, but he can't get around Cai Zhen.
Of course, Guangji Junzhou is not big, just the territory of a county. When the imperial court set up the Guangji Military Prefecture, Dingtao County was set aside and given to the Guangji Army. Out of Jeongtao County, whether it is entering Juye in Jeju or transiting from Leize County in Puzhou, it only takes one day to arrive in Yuncheng.
If it was a sailing, Li Kui estimated that Cheng Zhijie's army should have arrived in the town of Hachae in Jeju, and perhaps had disembarked and entered the territory of Yuncheng County.
But Li Kui was trapped in Sucheng, which made him very anxious.
If you miss the opportunity to meet, will it arouse the vigilance of the thieves?
It's all a problem.
But God is not beautiful, and Li Kui has no way at all.
Ruan Xiaoer is also quite affected by the weather, it is difficult to fish on a rainy day, the river water suddenly becomes turbid, there are no fishing nets and other fishing equipment, even if he is a master of fishing, there is nothing to do.
In the past few days, he has been receiving help from Lao Chen, who is the kind person who gave him dry food two days ago.
He had the heart to refuse, but when he looked at the vast drizzle, he immediately hesitated.
Without a cloth, he would definitely get sick when he went out fishing on a rainy night in early winter, and for the poor, being sick was almost hopeless, and he did not dare to be willful. He took the dry food with both hands, bowed his head to Lao Chen and thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Chen." ”
"Oh, you can talk!"
Lao Chen was quite surprised and said in surprise.
Ruan Xiaoer was also helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Chen, hurting people behind your back, isn't it a gentleman's doing?" ”
Although Ruan Xiaoer has a pair of violent eyes, he doesn't look like a good person. But there are also people who are kind and righteous in their hearts, and they have no intention of harming those who are good to him. It's just a personality.,It's more sensitive.,And at the same time irritable.。 But overall, he's a standout character in the bad guy pile.
So why put him in the bad guy pile?
A person with a character like Ruan Xiaoer, don't look at it now, how many years older, he is a master who kills people without blinking, such a person can't be counted as a good person, right?
Lao Chen was robbed by Ruan Xiaoer, and he was not annoyed, but laughed happily: "I can speak, why don't you say it?" When people have long mouths, they are just for talking nonsense, and if they don't speak, they are more aggrieved. I see that the little brother is athletic and a little good-looking, I don't know if there is anyone else in the family? Parents can be in the high hall? ”
"The year before last, there was an epidemic in the village, and both parents died. There are two younger brothers......" Thinking that his brother was still in Li Kui's hands, Ruan Xiaoer couldn't help but sigh: "Hey......"
"The poor people are not having a good time these years, and if they encounter a catastrophe, they will really have tears in their eyes at God. But it's not easy for you to pull the two brothers, have you ever thought of finding someone to help? "Lao Chen is quite able to get close, Ruan Xiaoer really doesn't want to talk about family affairs with unfamiliar people. But Lao Chen was too enthusiastic, and he was kind to him, so he gave him two days of dry food, saying that he couldn't do anything to drive people away. I had to endure my impatience and said: "Uncle Chen, you are joking, uncles and uncles who are not out of five suits are not capable of pulling us, and we can only rely on ourselves in this world." ”
"What's the name of the little brother, where is the person."
"Ruan Xiaoer is the people of Shijie Village on the edge of Liangshanbo. Uncle Chen, what's wrong with you? ”
Lao Chen glanced at Ruan Xiaoer, although his face was unpleasant and he looked a little fierce, his personality was not too bad. There is a saying that when you are three years old and see old, what you look at is not your face, but your temperament.
Lao Chen could even feel that Ruan Xiaoer was reluctant to talk to him more, but because he had helped him, he told the truth.
What does this mean?
Ruan Xiaoer's temperament is not too bad, and he can tolerate unpleasant things to those who are kind, which shows that there is kindness in this person's chest.
Ruan Xiaoer was a little confused, why did he suddenly ask his age? However, Ruan Xiaoer's age is not a big deal, and he said frankly: "Yuanfeng was born in three years. ”
"Have you ever been married?"
When he said this, Lao Chen's heart was slightly nervous. looked at Ruan Xiaoer expectantly.
Ruan Xiaoer hesitated a little, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. Lao Chen suddenly laughed embarrassedly: "I have a daughter in my family, who is a little older than you...... Xining was born in eight years, a small people's tiger girl, quite strong, and a good girl who can give birth. He has a thick body and is also a capable Lisuo. has great strength, a weak woman can use it against two men, if whoever marries her, just wait to enjoy the blessings! ”
A weak woman, can she use it against two men?
Blessed?
Die!
Is this what a good man can say?
Ruan Xiaoer was completely stunned, he was only thirteen years old, Xining was born in eight years, he should be five years older than him, Lao Chen has an eighteen-year-old daughter, whose nickname is Hu Niu, is this the name of a serious girl's family?
"I regard you as a benefactor, but you want your daughter to spoil my innocent body...... Are you still human? Ruan Xiaoer was slandered in his heart, he couldn't get angry at all,
After speaking, he glanced at Ruan Xiaoer with eyes that everyone knows, and said cautiously: "If you don't mind, I'll call the shots......"
"Don't, Uncle Chen, the eldest husband is determined to make meritorious contributions, how dare he marry a wife lightly?"
"Doesn't this delay you from making a contribution, right? There is a way to settle down at home and have no worries, so that you can move forward bravely and achieve a great cause. Now that your two brothers are tied to you, it is not easy to ask for it. How to talk about what to achieve? Besides, you're just a thirteen-year-old child, isn't it nonsense to talk about making achievements? ”
Ruan Xiaoer glanced at Lao Chen resentfully, and said in his heart: "You also know that I am a child, you haven't thought about it, if you really enter your daughter's boudoir, what will the master be destroyed?" ”
But you can't say that, it's too much of a slap in the face.
Ruan Xiaoer pondered for a while, and said helplessly: "Uncle Chen, to tell you the truth, I sold myself." ”
Old Chen was shocked and said, "Are you a fugitive slave?" ”
"It's not." Ruan Xiaoer said angrily: "I angered the master and was driven away, but I didn't go out." My master is also in this team. ”
Although Lao Chen was optimistic about Ruan Xiaoer, he didn't want to get into such trouble, so he said with a little more anger on his face: "Aren't you delaying me?" ”
Uncle Chen was dizzy, he glanced at Ruan Xiaoer, and he didn't know if he was angry that Ruan Xiaoer didn't know how to refute his face, or because Ruan Xiaoer was ashamed to say unreasonable words, which made him very angry. As for the last thing that said that he was a slave and that his master was in the team, Lao Chen didn't believe what he said.
In the Great Song Dynasty, abusing slaves is also a crime. Besides, at Ruan Xiaoer's age, farming will definitely not be successful, at most it is the identity of the entourage's servant, what kind of master will drive away the little guy around him? Lao Chen stood up angrily, he liked Ruan Xiaoer very much before, because it was real and simple. But now, Lao Chen thinks that Ruan Xiaoer has lied to him again. This made him hate himself for being blind and not seeing people for what they really are.
In Lao Chen's opinion, Ruan Xiaoer is just an almost beggar. I didn't beg, but I was fast.
Such a person, don't want a daughter-in-law who is sent to the door, is there any heavenly reason?
Lao Chen was very hurt, and after being injured, he had no good impression of Ruan Xiaoer, shook his head and said angrily: "You are a fool!" ”
Ruan Xiaoer felt that it was a little unreasonable to eat the dry food sent by Lao Chen again, so he raised his hand and handed over the cooking cake in his hand. Lao Chen was crying out for his daughter, and he didn't look at Ruan Xiaoer, so he left. I can't complain about Lao Chen, his daughter is not very good-looking, but she is also a good person with a nose and eyes. If it weren't for the violent death of her ex-husband after marrying and becoming a feared star, there would be no need to cheap wild boys like Ruan Xiaoer.
Besides, Lao Chen wanted to open it, and he thought it would be good to find a door-to-door son-in-law for himself.
Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm made Ruan Xiaoer, a white-eyed wolf, feel cold, and leave angrily.
"Good ambition!"
Ruan Xiaoer turned his head to look behind him in displeasure, it turned out that Pang Wanchun had heard Ruan Xiaoer's words of determination just now.
Say something like a big husband who wants to make a contribution.
Ruan Xiaoer smiled bitterly: "Let my brother Taijian smile." ”
Pang Wanchun didn't dislike Ruan Xiaoer's cramped place to hide from the rain, curled up and sat next to Ruan Xiaoer, put his hands on the fire that was about to be extinguished, took two breaths of heat, and said: "What the little brother just said is too good, the eldest husband is determined to be thousands of miles away, and if he doesn't make meritorious contributions, he will glorify his ancestors, how can he think of being a son-in-law?" ”
Ruan Xiaoer thought about it, was he just a pretext just now?
If you really tell Lao Chen that you don't like his daughter, wouldn't it make the hearts of good people even cooler? And what he said, Lao Chen should have understood it, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten up and left.
However, he was very curious, Pang Wanchun's face was very raw, and it seemed that there was no such person in the team. Of course, it is not uncommon for a team of more than 100 people to be unknown to him. I just felt that the other party's words were quite proud, and I suddenly felt that there were many close relatives, so I asked, "Brother Tai?" ”
Pang Wanchun opened his mouth, making Ruan Xiaoer stupid: "It's good for a good man to be a good man, but for his brother, he lacks the opportunity and luck to show his skills, but now luck has come, little brother, do you want to join the army?" ”
There is a saying that 'good iron does not hit nails, and good men are not soldiers', which does not necessarily make sense, but in today's Great Song Dynasty, being a soldier is not a very good way out. Especially Ruan Xiaoer looked at Pang Wanchun with disgust, the other party didn't look like a forbidden army, wearing tattered clothes and a large-brimmed rattan hat, it seemed to be a box army.
Fighting men dare to recruit themselves as subordinates?
Ruan Xiaoer was very aggrieved, he didn't understand, what was wrong with this world?
