Chapter 13 It is not my intention to be a marquis, but I wish that the Quartet would be peaceful
Chu Hong casually solved the servants, and then slowly dismounted.
After groping around with the three of them for a long time, there was nothing that could prove their identity, but two animal skin maps were found on the black-clothed man who was the leader. Chu Hong looked at it, as if it was the same material as what he had found from Yeluqi last time. So I took it out and compared it, don't say it, it's really the same.
"Looks like this map isn't one! Chu Hong thought that eighty percent of this group of people came for the one in his hand. It's just that for some reason it was mistaken about the little princess.
"It seems that this map is not simple, and finally makes Lao Tzu feel a little bit of a protagonist. If you can't, you have to go back to the capital quickly, so as not to have another accident. ”
Chu Hong stopped thinking and put away the map first. Said to his soldiers
"Pack up and continue to go, and the whole army hastened forward. ”
Then Chu Hong rode his horse to Niu Gang and Fang Wei, clasped his hands into fists and thanked them
"Thank you two for your help! I didn't expect you two to be so good. ”
"Hey, Brother Chu, you are too polite, let us eat and drink, and give us a coil. We should make a move, do you want to say yes?" Niu Gang's honest voice buzzed.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Fang Wei also hurriedly responded.
"Then I wonder what the two of you plan to do in the future?"
Chu Hong was not polite to them, and asked directly. He could hear it clearly, the kung fu of these two people was taught by a master named Xuanwu Old Man.
It's not good, this is the white-bearded old man I have to wait for. Naturally, he had to keep these two people by his side.
"We don't know, there are only two of us left in our village. ”
"If you two don't dislike it, let's go back to the capital with me first!
"When the time comes, if the two of you want to join the army, I can introduce the two of you to the account of Marshal Luo Shihong Luo. If you want to walk the rivers and lakes, let's just have a companion together, how about it?"
Chu Hong flickered again.
Medium. Then we will follow first, but there is one thing, we have to take care of our food. You have to have a big steamed bun to eat!" The two glanced at each other, and Niu Gang directly made a decision.
Chu Hong laughed loudly, learned their words, and agreed, "Medium!"
After traveling 800 miles in the wind and snow, half a month later, Chu Hong and the others finally arrived at Handan, the capital of Zhao State! And through this half month, Chu Hong also successfully tied Fang Wei and Niu Gang firmly to his side.
According to the regulations, Chu Hong asked Zhao Qi to lead the envoy group to rest directly in the post house, and he took Niu Gang and Fang Wei brothers into Handan City in a hurry.
At this time, the appearance of the three of them can be said to be very different from the beginning. Chu Hong was okay, still carrying a broken sword at his waist, holding a cigarette stick in his right hand, but he changed into a navy blue samurai uniform.
And Fang Wei and Niu Gang had already washed the inn well, and each changed out of the patch clothes that had not been changed and washed for I don't know how many years.
Changed into clean clothes, still coarse linen. Originally, Chu Hong also prepared a samurai uniform for each of them, but the brothers said that they couldn't get used to wearing it, and in the end, with the help of the post house, they found two sets of linen clothes to change into.
At this moment, the three of them are like a handsome boy with two family members.
After all, Fang Wei and Niu Gang were entering the capital for the first time, and they were very curious about what they saw. Although Chu Hong was also here for the first time, after all, he had experience in his previous life, so he was not too surprised. But it's still not the same as the capital he imagined.
In his previous life, he also went to many so-called ancient cities and ancient towns to play, but at this moment, compared to this Handan City, it is really a small thing.
At this moment, Handan City is nearly ten meters wide on the main road alone. There are many shops on both sides, and all kinds of cries are endless, and it is very lively.
The streets are full of pedestrians, and from time to time horse-drawn carts pull carts of goods in and out of the city.
Chu Hong found someone to inquire about Cui Heng's Cui Mansion, not to mention, Cui Heng's name is really loud in the capital, and the person who was asked not only told him the location of Cui Mansion, but also told him that Cui Heng is now feasting in Manxiang Building.
After Chu Hong asked the location of Manxianglou clearly, he took Niu Gang and Fang Wei towards Manxianglou, which was easy to find.
Manxianglou is the first restaurant in Beijing, and it is on this main street. Chu Hong and the three of them walked forward for more than ten minutes, and they saw the big signboard of Manxianglou from a distance.
It was exactly ten o'clock at noon, and the three of them were also hungry, so they simply ate here.
"Three guest officers, eat or stay in the hotel?" Before the three of them arrived at the door, they were invited into the hall by the enthusiastic Xiaoer.
"Eat!"
"Okay! Three guest officers, please on the second floor!" As soon as he ascended to the second floor, Chu Hong heard a commotion upstairs. Chu Hong is estimated to be the place where Cui Heng feasts.
"Little Er, what are you doing upstairs, why is it so lively?"
"Hey! What else can you do! The second son of the Cui family won a big victory, didn't he just come back! Today he happened to have a banquet upstairs. ”
Chu Hong asked in the small second hall, and suddenly said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"Guest officer, don't you know, speaking of this second son of the Cui family, he used to be a gentleman in the capital. was idle every day, and then urged the old general to be unbearable. He was thrown into the Northeast Battalion, but when he came back in the past few years, it was a great change! I heard that he had made great contributions to the defeat of the Xiliang Kingdom this time. ”
No, just a few days ago, I just returned to Beijing with the army, and I began to feast those former friends and hold a celebration poetry party upstairs together. Many celebrities and young masters in the capital came to participate. ”
"Poetry meeting? This Cui Yuansheng can also compose poems?" Chu Hong heard that there was a poetry meeting upstairs, and he was immediately interested.
"Guest officer, don't you know! Although Second Young Master Cui is from Jiangmen, he really loves poetry, but the poems he makes are really... ”
"Alas, officer, I'm talking too much, what do you think you're eating?"
"If you have anything delicious here, bring me a portion, and give me dozens of steamed buns, my two brothers have a lot of food. ”
Chu Hong finished ordering, and explained in the expectant eyes of the two that they wanted dozens of steamed buns, and the two of them sat down satisfied.
"I said that you two are too, you have both arrived here, and you still want to eat steamed buns! ”
"Brother me, I don't know, we can't eat enough of these dishes, so we have to have dozens of steamed buns at the bottom!"
Fang Wei said with some embarrassment.
After a while, a table full of dishes was served, and Chu Hong ate a few bites casually. He put down his chopsticks and said
"You two eat first, I'll go upstairs and have a look!"
Niu Gang and Fang Wei were already attracted by this table full of chickens, ducks, fish and a basket of big steamed buns at the moment, no matter what Chu Hong said, they just started to struggle after two indiscriminate gestures.
Chu Hong chuckled at the two of them, and then got up and went upstairs.
As soon as she arrived upstairs, Chu Hong saw that Cui Heng had already drunk a little too much, and was sitting around everyone bragging about his experience in the army in the past few years.
Moreover, Chu Hong found that many people were dressed as scribes with lupine nylon fans, and there were some young women with light veils and masks, and even some women simply came in disguised as men for convenience.
At this time, Cui Hengzheng talked about his scolding Yelu Hongjiang, and I saw that he described the scene at that time vividly.
From time to time, everyone laughed. Chu Hong didn't call him, so he casually found a corner and did it.
At the end, he said with some pity.
"It's a pity that my Chu Hong brother is not here at this time, otherwise I will really let you see what it means to be a true hero in the world. ”
"Brother Cui, we've been hearing you say how to take Chu Hong, is he really so powerful?"
At this time, a tomboy who was obviously a woman disguised as a man asked out loud.
"Heh! Speaking of my Chu Hong brother, that's not an ordinary person. Cui Heng took a sip of wine, moistened his throat and said
"My Chu brother, entered the camp at the age of nine, went out with the army at the age of twelve, was promoted to the commander of a thousand at the age of fifteen, and broke through the innate at the age of eighteen. Who among you here can compare?"
"To put it mildly, this time Your Majesty will not be crowned, if it is really a marquis, there will be a place for him. ”
"Besides, he has already broken through the innate nature, according to the convention, he has to enter the Heavenly Pavilion and be the one who enshrines it. From the founding of our Great Zhao Kingdom to the present, how many of us have entered the Tongtian Pavilion?"
Cui swept everyone present, and said again with some disappointment
"If you don't enter the barracks, you don't know what a real hero is. You've been in Taiping Kyoto for too long!"
"Today, let's take the heroic as the theme and make the poems and songs! On the other day, my Chu Hong brother entered Beijing. How about I show you around?"
"Good!"
After speaking, someone began to take out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and distribute it, and Chu Hong was originally sitting in the corner. I just want to meet Cui Heng, where do I want to compose poems.
When it was distributed to him, he wanted to refuse, but suddenly a bad taste came to him. It is easy to get the next set of four treasures of the study.
When it comes to poetry, he really can't. But he has crossed over! How many famous stories have been circulated in his world? Any one of them, it can kill these scum in seconds, right?
Chu Hong held the pen and thought for a moment, and then wrote on the paper:
"Gift of Life"
The small building is temporarily high, and there is an old alliance when it is worried. Call the bottle to greet the guests, wave the soldiers. The cloud guard toothpick is full, and the star contains a sword. It is not my intention to seal the marquis, but I hope that the Quartet will be peaceful.
Chu Hong borrowed the poems of the world-famous general he came from, and named it as a gift. After writing, he took out his cigarette stick, just had a good temperature, burned it on the rice paper, and went downstairs.
When I went downstairs, I saw that Niu Gang and Fang Wei had already eaten almost enough, so I checked out and left.
Chu Hong walked on the street, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, and suddenly lost the interest in continuing to shop.
I inquired about Luo Shihong's mansion, bought some pastries as gifts on the street, and visited Luo Shihong.
And on the third floor of the Manxiang Building, after everyone finished writing, all the poems were put away one by one. Cui Heng invited two of the most outstanding heroes in poetry as judges, and began to review everyone's poems one by one.
One of them was the woman who had just asked Chu Hong who was dressed as a man.
And just now, Chu Hong's poems are also in her hands. When she saw this poem called Gift Yuansheng, she thought it was Cui Heng's boastful work written by herself.
I was just about to turn it over, and suddenly saw the last sentence: I don't want to be a marquis, I only wish the Quartet to be peaceful. It immediately attracted her. Hurriedly called to read it carefully,
When she finished reading the whole poem, she suddenly felt the urge to join the army now.
Immediately took out a red pen and lightly clicked the poem, as the leader.
Then, the woman took out the poem separately and asked Cui Heng: "Cui Er, this poem for Yuansheng can't be written by someone you yourself a long time ago, right?"
Cui Heng saw that the son-in-law was holding a pair of poems to ask himself, and immediately said unconvinced: "Zhao Qingchan, you don't look down on me, I, Cui Heng, won't do this!" ”
When he saw the very familiar handwriting and the hot ring at the bottom, he hurriedly stood up and searched for it.
However, he did not find the familiar figure, and asked, "Can you see who wrote this poem?"
Everyone said no, but the young man who was in charge of distributing and collecting the pen and ink said that he saw a young man sitting in the corner writing.
But when he pointed to that location, where was there still people?
"Hey!"
Cui Heng let out a long sigh and said
"We are talking about heroes and heroes here. I don't know that the real heroes and heroes are sitting among you just now!"
Everyone was amazed and asked.
"This poem was left by my brother Chu Hong. It seems that he has entered Beijing!" Cui Heng said with a little dejection.
"How so?"
"Let me ask you, did that man have a scar on his left cheek and a cigarette stick in his hand?"
"Yes!"
"That's right. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone who can write poems like Feng Hou who is not my will, but I wish Sifang Ping. Besides, there is also a ring that he burned with a smoking pot. ”
Cui Heng thought of this, and didn't care about any poetry meetings anymore, leaving everyone here to talk about it, and hurriedly went downstairs. Because he knew where Chu Hong had gone.
Only the female son-in-law who was accompanied by a man quietly put away the poem and quietly left.
