Volume 1, The Breath of Eating Cattle Chapter 62, Reasonable and Unreasonable.
"Ahh
As soon as the words fell, the Meng Tong was in front of him, and in an instant, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar with his hand, and after shouting in panic, he was kicked in the ass by the man and fell into the water with a pop, causing a large splash.
The Meng Tong was a water-minded person, and after drinking a few sips of water from his nose intermittently, he slapped the water with his hands and kicked up vigorously, suddenly choking and calling for help, "Helpβuh!
Jia Yibing leaned half of his body on the railing by the edge of Langfang, and the young man with a sword on his back smiled at the Meng Tong who was constantly slapping the water and asked, "Is it still cool in the water?"
"I! I was wrong!
Hearing this, the Meng Tong hurriedly shouted, accidentally flooded his throat and coughed a few times.
The young man with the sword on the side of the railing raised his eyebrows, reached out and plucked his ears unhurriedly, and then said with a smile, "The sound is too small to hear." β
At this moment, several figures walked briskly from the other side of the covered bridge, and one of them, a middle-aged man in a long robe, with no anger and arrogance between his faces, and a graceful and luxurious woman, after seeing this scene, they were anxious and shouted to several entourages beside them, "Why are you still stunned!! hurry! Quickly rescue the young master!!"
The entourage hurriedly jumped into the water to save the man, and when he swam to Meng Tong's side, they hugged him, and then slowly swam back to the shore.
"Daddy, mother!!woo-woo-"
After Meng Tong was rescued, he coughed and choked a few times, spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, and immediately cried loudly when he saw the person coming.
Seeing this scene, the graceful and noble woman hurriedly bent down and hugged her precious son, and said softly and dotingly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!
And the middle-aged man caught a glimpse of Yao Zhenyi and the three of them in the middle of the covered bridge out of the corner of his eye, and immediately stepped forward and asked them in a deep voice, "Do you know what happened just now?!"
After hearing this, the young man with the sword on his back ignored the man, only to see him leaning on the railing and stretching his waist, then he turned around and looked at the middle-aged man in a long robe in front of him with a smile.
Hit the small ones and the big ones? Interesting, really interesting.
Yao Zhenyi, who had never made a sound, frowned, and was about to make a sound, but was pulled by the handsome scholar, Qin Xiao shook his head at the young man, signaling him not to make a sound.
I saw this handsome scholar stand up, look directly at the middle-aged man, and then sneered, "Why don't you ask your precious son what he did." β
The middle-aged man in a long robe is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, otherwise he would not go to the Han Dynasty this time to take office, and he is about to take up the post of the imperial envoy.
And as soon as he heard this, he knew that there must be something strange in it, just now he was too much in love with his son, and now he began to think about it after calming down.
On the other side, after hearing what her precious son said, the woman's face suddenly turned pale, and after seeing her man standing there indifferent, Hao Ran was furious.
She stood up abruptly and walked forward, grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, and yelled at him, "What are you doing here?!!!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and looked at his wife, how could he not know that his son had been wronged, didn't he just spoil you?!
Seeing this scene,
Yao Zhenyi and the three of them not far away felt a little funny, sure enough, there must be a mother and a son, after seeing the woman's snarky appearance, they understood why the Meng Tong was so blind.
At this time, Yao Zhenyi, who had never spoken, stood up and told the middle-aged man about the process, and his eyebrows wrinkled even more when he heard it.
When Meng Tong in the distance heard this, his eyes were a little evasive, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at this side again.
"Okay, you little bastard!! Dare to tell the truth! Come! Arrest him! Throw me into the river to feed the fish!"
Just when the middle-aged man was about to speak, who would have thought that the woman next to her was pale, stretched out her finger and scolded Yao Zhenyi angrily, she didn't believe what the young man said, she thought that it must be these three lowly mud legs who turned black and white upside down!
"What's going on?!"
At this moment, five soldiers wearing black armor and a sandalwood tag with a sword at their waist strode towards this side.
In the whole world, only the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty will wear this unique sandalwood card, and these five people are obviously the border soldiers of the Han Dynasty stationed here.
As they passed by, they heard a shouting here, so they walked over here to see what was going on.
The one who spoke before was a man with a resolute face who walked at the front.
When the middle-aged man saw the comer, his expression suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward, and then took out a piece of rice paper in his arms and handed it to the leading saber man.
The man with the saber took the piece of rice paper, which recorded the contents of the previous document, and after carefully confirming that it was correct, he handed the rice paper back to the middle-aged man, and then he clenched his fists and said indifferently, "I have seen the imperial envoy Lord Shi." β
The tone is neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no groveling at all.
And the Han Dynasty has always said this, whether it is a border army or a soldier, when you see the upper level, you can simply give a salute, without too much red tape.
This is also the will specially issued by His Majesty the "madman", according to the words of Emperor Gao Xuan, all those who join the army in my Han Dynasty, even if they see me, they don't need to give gifts. Joke! Without them fighting and conquering the city against the enemy outside, how would you people have a good life living in the temple in peace?!
This is why the Han Dynasty can be famous for its iron cavalry, in addition to strict military discipline, but also because Emperor Gao Xuan's move has been loyal and loved by all the officers and soldiers in the army.
The middle-aged man nodded, but he was not dissatisfied with this, he must have been familiar with the rules of the Han Dynasty for a long time.
But the woman screamed at the five border soldiers of the Han Dynasty, "Why are you still stunned?! Arrest those three people!!"
Hearing this, the man with the saber with a resolute face in the lead looked at her coldly, and the woman was immediately frightened to hide behind the middle-aged man, not daring to say a word.
The man with the knife glanced at the woman, and then raised his feet and walked towards Yao Zhenyi and the others.
When he walked in front of the three of them, he saw that the three of them were all smiling kindly, and he had a bottom in his heart.
I saw him ask, "What the hell is going on?" β
Yao Zhenyi saw Fang Cai's scene, and the man with the saber was a member of the Han Dynasty, so he had an inexplicable good impression of him in his heart.
So the young man told the man with the saber everything he had just said to the middle-aged man, word for word.
After speaking, Yao Zhenyi seemed to remember something, and reached out and took out a heavy token from his arms, Hao Ran was the token given to him by the green-shirted ranger when he left Baiju Town, who would have thought that it would come in handy today.
When the man saw the young man take out the token, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he was a little surprised in his heart, and asked him softly, "Can you borrow this token to show me?"
Yao Zhenyi nodded and said with a smile, "Naturally." β
After the words fell, he handed the token in his hand to the man, and the man with the saber took the token, lowered his head and saw that there was a "θ" character engraved on it, which was a unique seal character of the Han Dynasty.
The border soldier of the Han Dynasty first suddenly raised his head and stared at the young man, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
He naturally knew what this token was, it was specially made by His Majesty the Emperor, and seeing the order was like seeing Emperor Gao Xuan!
In the entire Han Dynasty, except for a piece in the hands of Emperor Gao Xuan, only a few people can have this "Dragon Order" in their hands.
Was it stealing, was it stealing, or was it picked up by this teenager?
The man was silent on the surface, but his left hand quietly stretched out his thumb and gently stroked the handle of the long knife on his waist, and he seemed to inadvertently smile at Yao Zhenyi in front of him and asked, "Little brother, do you know the origin of this token?"
When a hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the man with a sword, Yao Zhenyi already knew the reason in his heart, and couldn't help but admire the caution of this border army of the Han Dynasty.
The young man's expression remained unchanged, and he chuckled softly at the man with the sword, "It was handed over to me by my eldest brother, that is, from Changge." β
As soon as the words fell, Jia Yibing, who had just stood beside him and had never spoken, glanced at Yao Zhenyi without a trace, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The young man with the sword on his back reached out and touched his chin with a little scum, his eyes lowered and looked down at his feet, who didn't know what he was thinking.
And after hearing the words "leaving the long song", the man with the saber did not change his expression on the surface, but he was moved in his heart, leaving the eldest brother?!
That green-shirted ranger has always been quite prestigious in the army of the Han Dynasty, and his actions have always been informal, although he has a body of cultivation, but he has never stood up to his brothers in the army or even anyone.
Therefore, these entourages of the Han Dynasty, or the border army, all have friends with him, and it can be said that they admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
This border army man of the Han Dynasty came back to his senses, and his sharp eyes softened a little, this dragon order was handed over to the young man by the eldest brother, so there would be no mistake.
I saw him hand over the token to Yao Zhenyi, and then he clasped his fists and said to him in a deep voice, "I have offended a lot just now, and I hope that the little brother will not blame! Even if he is a friend of the eldest brother, he is also my Pei Shaohuai's friend!"
Seeing this scene, Yao Zhenyi was a little flattered, and hurriedly replied with his hands and hugged his fists, "Brother Pei is serious!"
Pei Shaohuai put it down, and then asked with a smile at the young man in front of him, "Is it okay to leave the eldest brother?
There was some urgency in his words, and he seemed to be very familiar with the green-shirted ranger.
Hearing this, Yao Zhenyi nodded, "It's good to leave the eldest brother." β
Then he added, "He used to be in the town of Baiko, but I have been away from the town for some time, and now I don't know if he is still in the town." β
Hearing this, Pei Shaohuai sighed lightly with some loss, "That's a pity, I still think that I can go back with him this time without getting drunk and not returning." β
This time, the young man smiled and did not speak, and he had some understanding of the relationship between the two in his heart.
"Dare to ask?"
Just when the border soldier of the Han Dynasty wanted to say something, the middle-aged man's voice of inquiry came from behind him.
It turned out that he had been standing from a distance and watching, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, and after the man with the saber took the thing in the young man's hand, he first clasped his fists, and then talked and laughed.
Holding the doubts in his heart, he stepped forward and asked loudly.
Pei Shaohuai was not annoyed when the middle-aged man interrupted his words, only to see him turn around, look at the soon-to-be-appointed imperial envoy Shi with an indifferent expression, and said nonchalantly, "My lord, do you have any doubts." β
The middle-aged man was a little speechless, but he didn't know how to speak.
At this time, Pei Shaohuai stepped forward and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear, the middle-aged man's face first changed drastically, then cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and finally he looked at the young man who was walking on the covered bridge with complicated eyes.
After Pei Shaohuai finished speaking, he turned around and went to the covered bridge to apologize to Yao Zhenyi, saying that he had to go to inspect and would not stay here anymore, and then nodded to Jia Yibing and the two on the side, and then left with the four border soldiers who were traveling with him.
At this moment, the graceful and noble woman walked quickly to her man, and asked him urgently, "What did that man say?!"
After all, the middle-aged man is also a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, put away the thoughts in his heart, looked at his wife and said in a deep voice, "This matter is over!"
"What?!! forget it like that?!Okay, you Fang Wenzhi! My own son was ...... Ahh
"Smack-"
When the woman heard this, she immediately stretched out her hand and pointed at the middle-aged man and scolded, who would have wanted to scold halfway, but the middle-aged man with a gloomy face was as angry as water, and slapped her in the face angrily.
The woman reached out in disbelief to cover her painful face, turned her head in astonishment, stared at the middle-aged man, and said to him in disbelief, "You actually ...... Hit me?!"
Since the day she married him, this middle-aged man has treated her with respect, and it can even be said that he is obedient, and now he is beating himself for a few outsiders?!
The middle-aged man was just upset by the woman's scolding, so he moved his hand out of shape, and he looked at the palm print on the woman's face and was a little unbearable, and then thought that he had spoiled his own lady too much over the years, so that she had become the unreasonable appearance she is now.
The middle-aged man relented, turned around and walked in the direction of the Mengtong, turned his back to the woman and sighed softly, "It's okay for you to come and go all these years, I can turn a blind eye, just because you are my wife, I should love you and cherish you." But this time is different from usual, I hope you won't be so unreasonable in the future. β
When the words fell, he raised his feet and walked forward, and he had already said what he had to say.
Only the woman with her face covered was left standing there in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.
Yao Zhenyi and the three of them on the corridor of the covered bridge watched this scene wordlessly, and their original feelings about the middle-aged man in their hearts also changed.
There is a way that it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
After watching this scene, the three of them stopped staying, as for what happened just now, it was just a passerby, they were passers-by, the middle-aged man and the woman were also passers-by, but what was left behind, only their hearts knew.
And when they came to the wharf out of the city, it was close to noon, and they found a man in cloth clothes, and when the money was delivered, the three of them went out of the city on this boat.
The next place the three of them will go to is the Comb Sea Dynasty.
