Chapter 325: Lanzhou
And when the Western Front lost. Li Er led his army to retreat to the Ten Star City. A few days after the formation of the zigzag defensive framework. Xiao Qingchen hurried to Lanzhou, where Longyou Road and Beiliang Road meet.
When Xiao Qingchen hurried here, he received the news. Xiao Qingchen and the others immediately stopped their horses. Intend to take a break here in Lanzhou for a few days. Xiao Qingchen and the others walked all the way to the Taishou Mansion under the leadership of the captain of the defending army at the south gate of Lanzhou City.
This lieutenant had previously served in the Northwest Army. It's just a three-year war. His two older brothers were killed in battle. He was the only son left in the family. It was to retreat from the Northwest Army. came to Lanzhou and became the second-in-command of the defenders. Although it is the second-in-command. But compared to the Northwest Army, it was demoted. This Captain Shen Chen is a powerful captain in the Northwest Army. There are also a small number of soldiers and horses in hand. Even if it's better than a miscellaneous general, it's not bad.
Although Shen Chen has been in the Northwest Army for a long time. Blood and gas are strong. A man with hot blood. Plus it's good for subordinates. The popularity among the defenders is still good. And that Lanzhou general also has some skills. He was born in battle. More than twenty years ago. Knocked out a leg. Relying on some family relationships at that time, he retreated to Lanzhou. Now I can see that my second-in-command has his own style back then. From time to time, he called Shen Chen and him to drink in his general's mansion for a night. Even General Lanzhou's favorite youngest daughter made a marriage contract with Shen Chen.
The battle on the front line is in full swing these days. Shen Chen couldn't sit still. Determined to be able to kill the enemy in battle. But he didn't dare to act rashly without an order. Although Shen Chen was torn off the battlefield for some days. This habit has not changed in the Northwest Army. On duty. Don't drink alcohol. Don't drowsy. The Quad City patrol never stops. Jean's defenders were also impressed in their hearts. Even if General Lanzhou wants Shen Chen to drink. Shen Chen only drank half a bowl to dispel the cold. More words. No matter how much General Lanzhou tried to persuade him, it was useless. However, General Lanzhou was not angry. It's a great soothing.
Shen Chen saw that Xiao Qingchen and his party were hurrying from Jiangnan. There was a burst of joy in my heart. When Xiao Qingchen hadn't dismounted yet. Shen Chen rushed out. shouted at Xiao Qingchen, "Major General."
Xiao Qingchen saw a defender rushing towards him. Take a closer look. found out that it was Shen Chen, who had fought with him in the Northwest Army. Immediately dismounted, laughed and said, "Shen Chen. You're squatting here.". When Xiao Qingchen took over some of the recruits. Shen Chen was among them. And he relied on himself to learn martial arts. That's a thorn in the head. That day, he was looking for trouble with the new general Xiao Qingchen. As a result, Xiao Qingchen was overturned with one hand. Only then was I slightly convinced. Life and death in the back. Nature threw himself to Xiao Qingchen's five-body suit.
Xiao Qingchen followed Shen Chen all the way. Shen Chen kept talking on the road." Major General. Back then, you were given a false name by the emperor, but you were transferred out of the army. Let us be the ones who fought back then, but they were very hot. Old ginger, that kid. When you pass by me, you open your mouth and scold. If it hadn't been for Xiucai to stop him. I think he's going to be taken away by the Purple Guard."
Xiao Pojun and Shen Chen are also old acquaintances in the army. There was once a big fight between the two of them in the battalion commander. As a result, both of them were beaten by Xiao Qingchen with twenty military sticks each. Xiao Pojun saw Shen Chen say this. is laughing and scolding: "Xiucai, that kid has always used yin tricks. I guess he stopped the old ginger. As a result, he was scolding Huai in a weird manner."
Shen Chen looked at Xiao Pojun with a smile and said, "That's natural. Everyone is a family. It's all about the roots. You pout your ass and we'll know what you're going to fart."
Xiao Qingchen and his entourage, except for Wen Qingqian, Wu Yang and Xu Leakian, all knew each other more or less or served in the army. Naturally, it's also a gag. And Wen Qingqing also says a few punch lines from time to time. Let Shen Chen look at this princess with admiration.
Just as Xiao Qingchen and his party walked onto the street. A few people in the inn next to it flew out. He fell heavily to the ground. This fall almost hit Wen Qingshi. Suddenly, the thirty-six blood wolf riders and the saber in the hands of Shen Chen and the others were half unsheathed.
And at this time, a figure rushed out next to him. It's a woman in a green shirt. The woman could see the men lying on the ground. Look inside the inn. He shouted angrily, "Who am I? It turned out to be a few gangsters. Dare to come to our Lanzhou wilderness. You don't know how high the king's law is."
The woman in the green shirt had just finished speaking. Inside is a few men who rushed out of the rivers and lakes. Look at the complexion of the costume. It should be the Jianghu people who walk in the desert. One of the men with eagle-eyed eyes saw the woman in the green shirt drinking loudly. Sneered. Reaching out is grabbing the woman in the green shirt.
The woman in the green shirt had apparently also learned a little bit of martial arts. Some base. In a flash, the eagle-eyed man's big hand flashed. But the eagle-eyed man sneered. The figure is in. Both hands were grabbed directly at the chest of the woman in the green shirt. The rest of the people laughed lewdly there and said, "The third child has been arrested. Let's have a mandarin duck play in the water tonight."
A shallow glance at the outside of the crowd. A feeling of disgust rose in my heart. And Xiao Qingchen also made a look. Prepare for Xiao Pojun and others to make a move.
But it's a sudden resurgence. A man rushed in the crowd. I saw the eagle-eyed man grabbing the woman in the green shirt. Shout "Stop.". Rushed in.
The eagle-eyed man saw that someone was interfering. It's a flying kick and a kick towards the man who rushed in. But the man was nimble. In a flash, he came behind the eagle-eyed man. Behind him is a handful of people who grab the back collar of the eagle-eyed man. It was lifted up and thrown at several other charlatans.
Rush into the man. Looks like he's in his early twenties. I saw the eagle-eyed man being thrown away by himself. is anxious to ask the green-shirted woman and say, "Pang Jing, are you okay?" The one called Pang Jing said, "It's okay.". Another person squeezed in the crowd. Richly dressed. He has a long sword in his hand. Pang Jing saw that the man was coming. He smiled and said, "Brother Wu, you're here.". And that man looked at Wu Hui, who was called Brother Wu who walked in. Turn your head away. I saw a few other people killed. Hurriedly pushed Pang Jing away. Then rushed in on his own.
The man. I saw those few armed weapons rushing over to kill. Not at all. Standing on the spot. I saw a man with a big knife slashing at him. Step forward with your right foot. Flashed the broadsword. The right fist clenched and punched the man with the big knife in the abdomen. The man immediately spat out water and poured it down.
That man's move is to solve a charlatan. Immediately a whip leg. It's so fast that it's a sonic boom. This leg is whipped on the body of the eagle-eyed man. The eagle-eyed man was kicked away by the man. Fell to the ground unconscious. The remaining three charlatans saw that the man could easily knock the two down. Look at each other. Know the idea and stick to your hands. The three of them again made long weapons. Three shots were stabbed at the man.
The man saw the three of them stab at him. Said "Good time.". Open and close your feet. The figure is further advanced. Arms outstretched. A bent spin. Clamp the spear between your arms. The man strained himself. I heard a "click". All three spears are broken. The spear was violently struck by the man. stabbed at the three men.
All three of them were frightened. Hear a "whoosh" sound. Three spear heads ran through the crowns of the trio's hair. The three of them collapsed to the ground.
The man turned his head away. looked at Pang Jing from before. But I saw Pang Jing talking to that martial brother. I don't know what to do when I stand in the middle of it.
The person Xiao Qingchen looked at. Then he said to Shen Chen, "You go.". Shen Chen and the rest of the twenty or so soldiers defending the city dispersed the crowd. And then pick up those people in the rivers and lakes. And Xiao Qingchen walked in with Wen Ren Qingqian and Xiao Pojun. Walked over to the man who was standing in the middle and didn't know what to do.
The man saw the armor on Xiao Qingchen's body. His face changed. A twinkle in his eyes. Keep your head down. Xiao Qingchen walked over. He patted the man on the shoulder and said, "My surname is Xiao.". And that Pang Jing and that Brother Wu hurriedly ran over. Pang Jing patted the man's shoulder and whispered, "Don't meet the prince yet."
After speaking. Pang Jing is going to make a big salute. Xiao Qingchen said weakly: "No need. It's just that the girl doesn't know who I am.". Pang Jing looked at Xiao Qingchen and said, "Lord Yushizi. The little woman is the father of Lanzhou City. Last year, the prince triumphantly passed through Lanzhou and stopped here. The little woman was fortunate enough to see the son of the world.". Xiao Qingchen remembers that he stayed in Lanzhou for a night. is smiled and said, "It turned out to be too much of a daughter. Faux pas."
Xiao Qingchen just finished speaking. Shen Chen walked over. He hugged his fist at Xiao Qingchen and said, "Major General. I've sent those five to prison.". Xiao Qingchen waved his hand and said, "This is your territory, listen to yours."
Xiao Qingchen finished speaking. The martial brother next to him also arched his hand at Xiao Qingchen and said, "Wu Qingyun has seen the son.". Xiao Qingchen heard that the person's name was Wu Qingyun. Then I turned my head and looked. He smiled and said, "Who am I? It turned out to be the son of Wu Qingyu Yushi."
Wu Qingyu was the head of the imperial court. Most of the excerpts that impeached Bei Liang back then came out of his hands. Xiao Qingchen scolded Wu Qingyu on the palace hall last year. The angry Wu Qingyu almost turned his back on his anger. Wu Qingyun naturally knew this. But the officialdom still has to be done.
Xiao Qingchen finished speaking. didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Qingyun, but looked at the person known as Chongyang who lowered his head and said with a smile: "I think your martial arts are very good. Chongyang. Kindness. That's a good name. Are you interested in coming to me?"
Xiao Qingchen finished speaking. Chongyang still lowered his head. Don't dare to speak. And Pang Jing whispered on the side to remind this Chongyang, who grew up with himself. But Chongyang didn't open a mouthful.
Pang Jing said with a dry smile on the side: "Shizi. Chongyang he is timid. I don't dare to speak."
Xiao Qingchen said, "It's okay", and then said to Chongyang, "I think I have a relationship with you. This horse is for you. As he spoke, he asked Xiao Pojun to lead a black military horse over. This military horse has well-proportioned and strong muscles. The back is generally as tall as a person. You can tell at first glance that it is a good horse.
Xiao Qingchen patted the horse's back, looked at Chongyang and said with a smile: "This horse breed is the pure blood wolf horse in my blood wolf ride. I saw that you had a similar name to one of my elders, so I gave it to you. My elder is called Vengeance."
But Chongyang still lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Pang Jing urged several times. Still won't say a word. Pang Jing could only take over the horse instead of Chongyang.
Xiao Qingchen nodded. Turn around and take the crowd and go.
Xiao Qingchen muttered in his mouth, "Heavy revenge. Chongyang.". And Xiao Pojun has watched it back many times.
