Chapter 047: The Way Home
Two days later, out of the border of Luzhou, Chen Jing's heart slowly relaxed.
"Zhou Yong, how is Hu Dong?"
"I woke up just now, confused, and shouted the name of my own lady."
Chen Jing smiled, "That's pretty much it." When I got out of Luzhou, I was not in a hurry, I took a rest first and changed all my bloody clothes. ”
Taking out the wine bag, Chen Jing took two sips and handed it to Tai Shiqing beside him. It was only now that he had free time to learn more about the scholar with a knife in front of him.
"Brother Taishi is from Yanmen?"
"Indeed, the ancestor Tai Shichun was a famous general of the anti-Di dynasty. It's a pity that my Da Ran still lost to Di Guo and lost the ten states of Mobei. The ancestors once said that those people in the court were afraid of eating and sleeping, and day and night, they were all worried that the people of Di Guo would go south, so they united together to play books and make peace. ”
"At that time, the soldiers on the Mobei front were obviously still fighting to the death...... When the decree of peace came, many people committed suicide in shame. ”
Chen Jing knew that it was from that time that the entire Daran Dynasty began to decline, slowly collapsed, and slowly died in decay.
Tai Shiqing tilted his head, his eyes full of loss.
"External worries and internal troubles, my Daran Dynasty is no longer as powerful as it used to be. I really hope that one day, I can stand in the court and help Mr. Da to reform and reform, so that I can regain my strength, and the three armies dare to fight and recover the mountains and rivers of Mobei. ”
"Brother Taishi is an outstanding talent in the world, there will definitely be a chance."
Tai Shiqing smiled, "If there is such a day, I really hope that Brother Chen will become my colleague." You and I join forces to revitalize Daran. It's a pity that Brother Chen's ambition is not in the official career. ”
Chen Jing was silent for a while, and thought about speaking.
"By the way, Brother Taishi, if I want to establish a clan, what means do I need?"
Although he heard some from Xia Chong's mouth, Tai Shiqing in front of him was obviously a child of the family, and he should be able to understand more.
"Lizu." Tai Shiqing was not surprised, "I guess, Brother Chen wants to raise a soldier and use it for self-protection." But if Brother Chen wants to establish a clan, he needs a lot of twists and turns, and the most important thing is to take the title. According to me, Brother Chen might as well join the army, go to Mobei to kill for a few years, and if he can't make a great contribution, he can become a county uncle. ”
"How much military merit can be exchanged for the previous head of Wei Shou?"
"Twenty heads at most."
"The promotion to the knighthood has been controlled by a few old foxes. Even His Majesty can't get his hands on it. This is the way of the world, if Brother Chen has silver, he may pay tens of thousands of taels, and he may be able to buy it. ”
Chen Jing sighed from the bottom of his heart. Tens of thousands of taels? He played with his life to earn tens of thousands of taels, and he had to kneel and lick and send it out, which was not pleasant to think about.
"Brother Taishi, if it is promoted to military merit, will there be a problem?"
"It's hard to say. Of course, if I have made a world-wide contribution, the world knows that if these people dare to rob it, I am afraid that it will arouse public anger. ”
"Understood."
Tai Shiqing nodded, "Brother Chen, you and I will rush back first, how about it?" ”
"Very good."
After a long journey, after the next day, the group worked non-stop and finally returned to the official road in front of Ping'an Town. It's a pity that the position of the sentry post was changed, and the people of Du Wei Tian An were not seen.
"Brother Chen, I need to go to a place first." Riding on the horse, Tai Shiqing clenched his fists.
Obviously, Tai Shiqing, as a member of the Reform Party, is going to meet Yuan Siqiao.
"Recently, Brother Chen, please be careful. I can't say it, Ping'an Town really wants to fight. ”
"I heard that General Xu in the town has transferred thousands of battalions into the city."
"Brother Chen thinks that a person like Mr. Big will have no guards? There may be a difference in the number of people, but I am a big man, drink a bowl of severed head wine, and dare to kill the enemy, why be afraid. ”
"Brother Taishi, Gao Yi."
Tai Shiqing's eyes showed a burst of reluctance, but in the end he didn't say anything, and after laughing, he picked up the reins again, carried the cage and the long knife on his back, and rode away.
"The owner, the people are gone. If I had been told what I had said, the proprietor should have kept him at the racecourse. ”
Chen Jing retracted his gaze, his eyes a little hesitant. He had long understood that he and Tai Shiqing were not fellow travelers. Aether Shi Qing's ambition will not be willing to stay in the horse farm. And he, too, was unwilling, and followed Tai Shiqing to go on a career path.
Regardless of whether it is Mr. Big's business or not, Tai Shiqing is just a peer along the way after all.
"Boss, it's a fork in the road."
"Xiao Jiu, I can see it."
"Left to right, then?"
"Take the safe one."
……
"Daddy, Daddy! I thought you were dead outside, and yesterday I asked Xiao Huwa about the price of the coffin three times. Even if I, Xing Qiu, starve to death and die of poverty, I have to save a coffin book for my father! ”
"You crying baby!" Xing Xiaojiu was so angry that he raised his hand very high, but he was reluctant to fight after all, so he had to jump off the horse and hold Hao'er in his arms.
Chen Jing also stopped the horse and stopped outside the racecourse, and all of a sudden, the people in the racecourse ran over with red eyes when they heard the news.
"Little Huwa, let Uncle check on the little finch."
"The owner is a bad breed."
Xiao Huwa looked at her injured father and immediately began to cry. But soon, Hu Dong took out two sugar gourds from his blanket, and the little thing ran away with a cheer and a cheer.
"Hu Dong, how do you feel about the injuries on your body?"
"Owner, it'll be fine if you raise it for a few days."
Chen Jingjing nodded, this round of running goods, not only Hu Dong, but also the group were more or less injured. Even he was beaten on the shoulder by a small bandit, and he is still in pain.
He was very glad that he did not choose to fight the old bandits, but went around and around with all his might, waiting for the battalion to arrive.
"My little boss, you're back." Also rushed to hear the news, there was also a bloated fat horse, who squeezed two tears while running.
"Old Ma, if you stretch your face over and don't slap twice, I feel uncomfortable." Chen Jing scolded. This time to help collect debts, it is simply a life of death.
Ma Fatzi looked up, looked at the injured Hu Dong, and the wounds on Chen Jing and the others, and understood what was going on.
"Little owner, arrive, arrive at one hundred taels!"
"Deal." Chen Jing smiled. On this trip, he brought back more than three thousand taels of silver. returned 1,040 to the fat man, and actually made a lot of money.
Sure enough, it is rich and dangerous.
"Chen Jing."
At this time, hearing a familiar voice, Chen Jing turned his head.
In front of him, the little daughter-in-law Song Yu was red-eyed, her body was trembling, but her face was full of joyful smiles.
"Hug."
"Hug ...... Embrace. ”
On the grass, between the long winds, like the newlywed lovers of Xiao Biesheng, the two hugged each other.
His face did not change when he killed bandits, and he was neither humble nor arrogant when he was an official, only in front of Song Yu could he be so relaxed. He remembered the spread of his wings, which had been sheltered from the wind and rain. Just like back then, a weak and hard-working woman, in order to find a husband, dared to walk into the dark and barking old alley with a lantern in one hand and a firewood stick in the other, without retreating half a point.
