Chapter 079: It turned out to be the crown prince
"Well, you'll understand then, someone will come to you." Yuan Zhi took a sip of tea and replied noncommittally.
"Uh-huh."
Seeing this, Zheng Shaoqiu could only hum and promise, and it was not good to continue to ask.
Then, the two changed the topic and talked about what happened just now, Zheng Shaoqiu sighed:
"Right now, Wan Shengxiang of the White Lady has offended the Xiao family of the trading house, I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future, and I will not hide it from Yuan Gongzi, this Jiangnan Xiao family and the Prime Minister of the current Dynasty Cao Fu, the relationship is extraordinary, today it is blocked by Yuan Gongzi, I am afraid that in the future, they will find a reason to make trouble casually, and come to make trouble from time to time, alas... Xia Guan can't help either. ”
After speaking, Zheng Shaoqiu looked at Yuan Zhi with a blank eye.
Yuan Zhi nodded expressionlessly, and did not squeak in response, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it.
At this time, I heard a commotion outside.
Then, a gloomy voice came in:
"General, it's the Wansheng Xiang rice shop in front, someone reported them for disrupting the market, gathering a group of unknown soldiers who are estimated to be from the countryside, intending to commit murder and hurt people."
Then, another violent voice sounded, "Whoever eats the bear's heart and leopard gall dares to make trouble in the grain market, this is also a disaster relief area, brothers, give these rural soldiers a little color!" ”
The sound of a whistling was getting closer, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves.
The white lady who was busy with business in the store was shocked, and she looked up at Zheng Shaoqiu.
Where did Zheng Shaoqiu have an idea, he could only look at Yuan Zhi, his expression was slightly panicked.
"Don't panic, the White Lady continues to do your livelihood."
Yuan Zhi was as steady as Mount Tai, he glanced at Ding Jiu, snorted and said: "You go and see, who are these people, tell your subordinates not to do it first, see the leading general opposite, and let him come in to see this son." ”
"No!" Ding Jiu came out in response.
"Master Zheng, let's continue to drink tea and talk about things."
"Uh-huh..."
Zheng Shaoqiu was frightened, how could he have the heart to drink tea, his eyes were staring at the outside, and his legs were trembling slightly.
He heard that the guys from the trading house called the army, led by a general, and it was estimated that the number would not be small, and the origin was not small.
I don't know if this Yuan Gongzi can stop them.
It is said that Ding Jiu walked out of the store, and the eighteen Qianniu guards were lined up on war horses, facing the outside of the store, waiting for them.
Those small traders who were queuing up to buy grain smeared oil on the soles of their feet one by one, lest they avoid it.
More than 100 cavalrymen appeared on the street in front, and they knew that they were Jin Wuwei by their costumes, and at the head was a 'Guo' character order flag.
The cavalry separated, and out of the ranks was a tall and straight armored general, aged twenty-five or sixteen, whose uniform was embroidered with the leopard print of a military attache of the fifth rank. At this age, he can mix with the top five generals, and in Jin Wuwei, his family background must be prominent.
The general was followed by the same armor sergeants, with spears or ring-headed knives in their hands, and bows and arrows on their backs.
These Jin Wuwei are all elite, and their weapons and equipment are second only to Gong Wei and Qianniu Wei.
But at this time, Ding Jiu and they were all plainclothes and did not wear armor, so if they really wanted to start, they would suffer a big loss.
There was a commotion on the street, and everyone muttered, "This is the general of Jin Wuwei's right battalion, and Zhonglang General Guo Xing has come over in person." ”
Guo Xing commanded Jin Wuwei to line up and surround Ding Jiu's Qianniuwei.
Then, he himself led more than a dozen horsemen to step forward and rode his horse to Ding Jiu.
Guo Xing's eyes were as sharp as knives, he just looked at Ding Jiu and other plainclothes knights, secretly surprised, and shouted:
"Who are you, why are you murdering and hurting people in the grain market of Chuanjiqiao in the capital?"
Facing Guo Xing, who was similar in age to himself, but the other party was already a five-grade general, and the level was very different, Ding Jiu had to get off the horse, hugged his fists and saluted:
"Back to General Guo, the youngest is Ding Jiu, the captain of Qianniu Guard, who was ordered to carry out military affairs in the Chuanjiqiao Grain Market, and did not commit murder and hurt anyone."
"What, Qianniuwei?"
Not only Guo Xing was taken aback, but the surrounding people were shocked when they heard the words 'Qianniuwei'.
Qianniuwei usually stays in the palace city, and goes to the grain market in the outer city to perform military affairs, which must be to protect a certain royal member.
Although Guo Xing was stunned, he did not forget his duty, he looked at Ding Jiu carefully for a while, then dismounted, approached and asked in a low voice:
"You call yourself Ding Jiu, the captain of the Qianniu Guard, but Ding Jiu next to the prince of the East Palace?"
For the famous Ding Jiu, Guo Xing only heard his voice and did not see him.
Ding Jiu hugged his fists and said: "General Hui, the little one is exactly." ”
As he spoke, he untied his waist card and handed it to Guo Xingxian.
Guo Xing took the waist card in his hand and looked at it for a long time, confirming that it was correct, and the person in front of him was Ding Jiu, the chief of the guard beside the prince.
Guo Xing was stunned for a moment, his arrogant posture suddenly lowered, respectfully returned the waist card, and asked in a low voice when he got closer: "Then you travel in plain clothes, could it be..."
"Hmm... My son-in-law is in the store, let you go in and see him. Ding Jiu gave a look and said very plainly.
Guo Xing now understood.
He had already heard from his father and brother that the prince liked to pay private visits to Weifu, and the last time he went to Guo's mansion, it was the same, but unfortunately he was on duty in the military camp at the time and never met the prince.
"Understood, Captain Ding, please." Guo Xing has a kind attitude.
"General, please follow me."
Ding Jiu took Guo Xing and walked towards the store.
Seeing that the commanders of the two sides were talking very intimately and entering the shop together, the highly nervous sergeants on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially on the Qianniuwei side, they have few people and lack armor, and the grain market is located on the outskirts of the city, once the fight starts, they are isolated and helpless.
Seeing this situation now, the Qianniu Guards are all happy, and they understand that there is no danger at this time.
Only the fat people of the Grain Market Chamber of Commerce felt that something was wrong when they saw the situation, and looked at each other in confusion.
But no one dared to move, so they could only wait for the result.
It is said that Guo Xing followed Ding Jiu into the store, and saw a young man sitting in the first place, staring at him with burning eyes.
Guo Xing didn't wait for Ding Jiu's introduction, he strode forward, lunged with his left leg, knelt down with his right leg, hugged his fists, and bowed in a standard military salute.
"Guo Xing, the general of Jin Wuwei's right battalion, meet the son... Your Highness. ”
Guo Xing is funny, maybe he is afraid of disrespect, and he adds a highness behind the prince without authorization, which is purely a snake to add to the foot, and it is clear that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
The White Lady and the others reacted slowly, and they didn't notice anything, but they were surprised that a five-rank general actually knelt down to worship this son.
It shows that this Yuan Gongzi is quite big.
Zheng Shaoqiu was mixed in the officialdom, and he immediately reacted that this so-called Yuan Gongzi was actually Yuan Zhi, the prince of the prison country who had recently threatened the Jingshi.
Why didn't you turn the corner just now?
Now it's all over, why does he have such a mighty and well-equipped guard, and his momentum is like a rainbow.
It turned out to be Qianniuwei.
Zheng Shaoqiu was happy in his heart, it was really time to run.
He was also silent, pretending to be stupid.
Since the prince is a private visit to Weifu, his identity must be kept secret, which is a first-class secret.
"General Guo, excuse me." Yuan Zhi said indifferently.
