Chapter 100: The Spoils of War and the Dowry
Shangguan Chengcheng couldn't stay in the hall anymore, although he didn't hide his face and run, but he was not much worse off fleeing in the wilderness. It's just that as soon as she went out, she steadied her footsteps and walked slowly without arrogance or impatience, as if she was nothing.
In the corridor outside the door, Zhao Nianci with a complicated expression was standing there, and when she saw Shangguan Chengcheng walking out, walking towards the moon gate as if she hadn't seen her, she gritted her teeth and followed, and said angrily: "Don't think that if you say good things to me in front of King An, I will thank you!"
Shangguan Chengcheng didn't look at her, and said lightly: "You think too highly of yourself." With the friendship between you and me, it is not enough for me to speak well for you. ”
Zhao Nianci opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer this seemingly blunt and hostile sentence, but in fact took care of her self-esteem very well.
Shangguan Chengcheng's steps were very fast, and it could be seen that she had no desire to talk to Zhao Nianci more. Zhao Nianci understood what the other party meant, but he still followed closely.
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Nianci hesitated and said: "Do you really think that my defeat to Sun Ru is just inexperienced, and there are ...... There is also a ...... Can ......"
Speaking of the back, she couldn't find the right words to express her feelings, and she became more and more embarrassed. This prodigy of the military family, who has always been proud, is like a little sister at a loss in front of Shangguan Allure at this moment.
The corners of Shangguan Chengcheng's mouth raised slightly, "In the words of His Royal Highness, you can still rescue it, and you don't have to give up treatment." ”
Zhao Nianci didn't understand this sentence very well, but she understood the meaning, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Do you really think so?"
Shangguan Chengcheng stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhao Nianci, the simple movements were performed neatly by her, like lunges, drawing knives, and attacking.
She said: "Zhao Nianci, put away your inferiority complex and pick up your self-esteem." If a defeat knocks you down, you're really never going to win against me. ”
Zhao Nianci, who was depressed after the Battle of Dangshan and fell into self-doubt and denial, heard Shangguan Chengcheng's serious words to her, and only felt that she saw the sun after the rain. This made her look up in surprise, her eyes wide, and she looked at her opponent in disbelief.
Zhao Nianci was very surprised, she didn't expect that with her relationship with Shangguan Allure, the other party would encourage her like this, and it was after a big victory.
At this time, shouldn't Shangguan Allure look down on her, laugh at her, and let out a disdainful snort?
Without waiting for Zhao Nianci to recover from his shock and joy, Shangguan Chengcheng had already turned around and taken steps, leaving without looking back.
"Hey, you wait for me!" Zhao Nianci, who was on his back and waist, shouted, and hurriedly chased after the slender Shangguan Chengcheng. Looking at her fiery posture, if you don't know her gender, I believe many people will think of the villain chasing the little lady.
The scene of the two of them walking coldly in front and chasing enthusiastically in the rear fell in the eyes of Yang Xingmi, Guo Pu, Zhang Zhongsheng and others who had just entered the mansion to visit Sun Ru, making them look at each other with strange eyes.
Sun Ru, who had been asleep for several days, finally woke up leisurely, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but show surprise when he saw the gradually clear face in front of him, "Who are you?"
As he spoke, he involuntarily shrunk his neck and made a movement to move to the inside of the depression, looking guarded. It's not that he's timid, it's that the other party looks at his face, and no matter how he looks at it, it's full of malice that makes him awkward.
Seeing that Sun Ru woke up, Li Ye withdrew his gaze to look at Baoshan, and no longer squatted on the low floor, returned to sit on the stool in front of the round table, and regained his calm and majestic demeanor, "Li Ye." ”
Sun Ru was like a frightened rabbit, and suddenly jumped up from the low collapse, but instead of pounced on Li Ye to fight with him, he crossed his hands on his chest, put on a defensive posture, and squatted in the corner of the low collapse, with a face full of Yan Luo's appearance.
Li Ye was amused by Sun Ru and laughed, "Lonely is so terrifying? General Sun, who killed the enemy like mowing grass and wiped out my more than 200,000 troops with his backhand, is also like a mouse who has seen a cat?"
Sun Ru refused to relax for half a minute, "What is King An like, isn't King An clear in his heart?"
Li Ye was dumbfounded, but if you think about it carefully, what Sun Ru said does make sense. In terms of force, he chased Gao Biao all over the world; in terms of resourcefulness, he completely defeated the Wu army with one move this time, so that King Qi had to take refuge.
Thinking of this, Li Ye felt very satisfied, poured himself a glass of water leisurely, and drank it slowly. However, this state of feeling good about oneself only lasted three breaths, and was completely shattered by Sun Ru's words.
I only heard Sun Ru say in a frightened but resolutely resistant tone, with a look of death: "The last general is in front of King An, although he has no power to fight back, but if King An wants to invade the last general, the last general will not obey!"
Li Ye squirted out a mouthful of water, pointed at Sun Ru and coughed repeatedly, and had the urge to rush up and tear him apart.
Knowing that Sun Ru had misunderstood the way he looked at him, Li Ye could only swallow the bitter fruit, put down the cup and said with a gloomy face: "Gu sees that General Sun is also a talent, if he is willing to serve under Gu, Gu will definitely be reused." The world has not yet been pacified, and the border is even more barbaric, and the general will have a lot of use in the future. ”
Gao Biao's command is full of talents, and Li Ye has no intention of letting go of any of them, they are all the trophies he deserves.
originally thought that Sun Ru would be like Yang Xingmi, and he should seize this opportunity to change the court, and Sun Ru said: "Although the last general failed to hold Dangshan, it can be described as useless, but the good minister does not care about the truth of the two masters, and the last general still understands." What's more, my Confucian sect is different from An Wangdao, and the last general will not dare to betray the master. ”
Seeing that Sun Ru no longer looked so frightened, and sat on the low floor with a solemn expression, Li Ye knew that his rejection of himself was not a misunderstanding of his subsequent adverse reactions.
Li Ye waved his hand: "Gao Yu is dead, you don't have to worry about the problem of the second master, as for the Confucian ......"
Speaking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "The Confucian sect in the world is not the only Huainan family. There is also a Confucian sect under the lonely command, in Qingzhou, hasn't the general heard of it?"
When Sun Ru heard this, his face instantly turned red, and he defended loudly: "There has always been only one Confucianism, and that is the Confucianism in Yangzhou now! Cui Keli of the Confucianism in Qingzhou is not even counted as the Eight Masters of Confucianism, and the Confucianism he leads, can it be called Confucianism?"
Looking at Sun Ru, who looked excited, Li Ye teased: "Confucian Wenzong, now there is only Cui Keli." ”
Sun Ru opened his mouth speechless, his head drooped down, like a quail, and he lost his spirit in an instant. There is no Wenzong in Yangzhou Confucianism, but Wenzong is in Qingzhou, which has always been the biggest heart problem of scholars.
"Brother Sun, we've come to see you!"
A heroic and unrestrained voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a few laughs, and a burly man with an iron temperament walked in. As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw Li Ye at the table, and the big man didn't stop, and asked Sun Ru on the dwarf floor as he walked: "Brother Sun, who is this distinguished guest?"
Without waiting for Sun Ru to speak, the big man had already come to Li Ye's side, and Pu Fan's big hand slapped Li Ye on the shoulder, and laughed: "If you can come to visit Brother Sun, you will also be a soldier who has survived a hundred battles, boy, you are a general under Brother Sun, right?
Seeing the banging sound of the big man's hand on Li Ye's shoulder, Sun Ru was dumbfounded, only to feel stiff all over, and the cold air was rising from his back. He seemed to have seen the scene where the big man vomited blood and flew out upside down, smashing through the doors and windows.
The scene in Sun Ru's imagination did not happen, and Li Ye smiled peacefully: "The battle of Dangshan did have heavy casualties, but it was very easy for me. ”
The big man was obviously mistaken, gave a thumbs up, and looked appreciative and admired: "Brother is heroic! It is really rare to get up from the sea of corpses and blood, and still be light and light." You're a brother, Yang has made a deal......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhongsheng and Guo Pu had already entered the house, and when they saw that Sun Ru had woken up and sat on the low floor, they couldn't help but look happy. It's just that the other party's face is pale and trembling, and it looks as if his injuries are not yet healed. I found that Yang Xingmi was sitting at the table and calling others brothers, so I was a little curious to see who the other party was.
After recognizing the person who was being hugged by Yang Xingmi's shoulder through the side face, Zhang Zhongsheng couldn't help but gasp, and instantly understood that Sun Ru's ghostly appearance was not that his injuries were not good, but that he was frightened!
Guo Pu was saluting Sun Ru, Zhang Zhongsheng had already bowed down, and his voice trembled and shouted: "Zhang Zhongsheng greets His Royal Highness King An!"
This shout caused the room to fall into a dead silence for a moment.
Guo Pu was stunned there, Yang Xingmi seemed to have been immobilized, and the hand that patted Li Ye's shoulder and expressed his closeness stopped in mid-air, and he couldn't fall down. He turned his head stiffly, looked at Zhang Zhongsheng who was trembling on the ground, and then looked at Li Ye who was smiling, his hairs stood up one by one.
"The last general should die!" After Yang Xingmi reacted, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "I don't know that King An is in front, there are many offenses, and the end will be a death penalty!"
Guo Pu also followed the salute and called to see King An.
Sun Ru was originally talking to Li Ye on an equal footing, but now he saw that the three fellow disciples were all kneeling, and it was not good to continue to sit on the low floor, so he could only follow the salute, and silently prayed in his heart that Yang Xingmi would not be divided by the five horses.
Calling Li Ye a brother and a brother is not simply offending a vassal king. Li Ye is from the Li Tang clan, and Yang Xingmi's behavior is like telling the emperor that I am your brother.
Glancing at the people who were kneeling on the ground, Li Ye smiled and said to Yang Xingmi: "General Yang, you want to be brothers with Gu, this is not brother etiquette at the moment." ”
Yang Xingmi's forehead was sweating like rain: "The last general will not dare, the last general will have eyes and does not know Mount Tai, please punish His Highness!"
"Alright, let's all get up. Li Ye waved his hand and said to Yang Xingmi, who was struggling to get up: "Lone has always been reasonable, if you want to do brotherly things with Your Majesty, Lone can not be held accountable, but you have to persuade General Sun Ru to let him be the first and second horse for Lone Saddle in the future." ”
Yang Xingmi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It is our duty to be loyal to the imperial court, and the last general will definitely convince General Sun!"
Seeing that Yang Xingmi sold himself so decisively, Sun Ru opened his mouth, but he was speechless. He couldn't push the other into the fire pit with his own hands.
Li Ye nodded and looked at Guo Pu, "Mr. Guo's name, I have heard of it for a long time, and meeting today is really a happy thing in my life." There are thousands of Confucian scholars, and Mr. Guo is the first, I don't know if he is willing to make contributions to the imperial court like General Yang? Oh, by the way, just now General Sun said to Gu that Confucianism and Gu Dao are different and do not conspire with each other, is this matter difficult for Mr. Guo?"
Guo Pu saluted again, and then said: "The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and wherever the beacon fire goes, the lives are ruined, which is unfortunate for the common people." His Royal Highness Pinghebei, the Central Plains, and the defeat of King Wu, even King Qi is willing to assist, and he is the only candidate for surveying the troubled times, how can Guo not know the general situation?"
Li Ye nodded with satisfaction, "That's very good." ”
Guo Pu, as the first genius of Confucianism, he is willing to take refuge, and the blow to Confucianism in Yangzhou is self-evident. In the future, the army will go south, even if the Confucian sect wants to resist stubbornly, I am afraid that it will not be able to cause much obstacle to the army.
Seeing this, Sun Ru knew that he had no choice.
With a secret sigh in his heart, Sun Ru looked to the south, and thought silently in his heart: The general trend of the world is all in the hands of King An, and Yangzhou Confucianism has become a contrarian, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be only Qingzhou Cui Keli left in the world.
Li Ye didn't stay with Guo Pu and the others for too long, and he didn't have much interest in sitting down and talking about this kind of thing.
Leaving a few brothers to get together, Li Ye went out of the courtyard. Before he took a few steps, Song Jiao appeared beside him like a ghost, and said leisurely: "That Yang Xingmi, it's not simple. ”
Li Ye didn't care, and said easily: "Aunt Song also saw it?"
Song Jiao snorted, "Pretending to be reckless and anxious to call you brother and brother, just to impress you." You can see that he knows you well, and he is sure that you will not punish him. ”
Li Ye felt that it didn't matter: "This talent is extraordinary, even Li Maozhen can't suppress him, plus he is thoughtful and good at drilling, it is not surprising that he will become a hegemon in troubled times." It's just that in the current situation, he has no chance, at most he will be a famous general. ”
Song Jiao nodded and agreed with Li Ye's opinion. Hearing the other party mention Li Maozhen, she suddenly asked: "Li Maozhen took refuge and took the entire military family with him, which can be described as a rich 'dowry'." But I'm curious, how did you find out that she's the Holy Queen?"
Li Ye didn't care about Song Jiao's extremely heavy word "dowry", and directly ignored the past, "This question, let's talk about it when I see Li Maozhen, I don't want to explain it twice." ”
