Chapter 289: The Legendary Wicked
Wei Liangqing dragged Gao Jie to the four of them, only then did he let go of his fists and smiled at the two big men in flying fish suits: "Liangqing has seen Brother Tian and Brother Xu!"
The tall man like a devil showed an ugly smile and nodded at Wei Liangqing. The slightly chubby brocade guard next to him had a faint smile at the corner of his eyes, and he grinned and said: "I have long heard that Liangqing has a peculiar farm, and I have long wanted to come to see it, and now I finally got my wish!"
Immediately, the man surnamed Xu turned around and pointed at Sun Qianguang and the person with a gloomy face: "Liangqing, this time Tian Dudu and I have also brought you two new friends, this is Sun Qianguang, the grandson of Lord Sun Chengzong. This Wei Qi, from the Broken Knife Gate in Yuncheng, Shandong, is the only son of the owner of the door, Wei Chengguang. The two of them have known us for a long time, and today they happened to join my Jinyi Guard Yamen, so they came over together to join in the fun! Don't blame your brother for being abrupt!"
Wei Liangqing covered his palms and laughed: "Who am I, Wei Liangqing, how can Brother Xu not know that I can meet new colleagues and new friends, that is a blessing, how can there be a reason to have too many friends?!"
The man with a cold face bowed slightly to Wei Liangqing, and then lowered his eyelids and stopped making a sound.
Sun Qianguang first politely greeted Wei Liangqing, and then strode in front of Gao Jie, and in the laughter, the two hugged tightly.
Wei Liangqing asked in surprise, "Do you two recognize each other?!"
Gao Jie smiled: "Of course, not only do I know it, but I have lived and died together!"
Wei Liangqing became interested, grabbed Gao Jie and said, "What's the matter, come and hear about it?"
Gao Jie waved his hand and said, "Brother Wei, if a guest is coming, how can you be lazy, or attract guests first, okay?
Wei Liangqing scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "That's right, yes, but I was so anxious that I almost neglected the guests!" Immediately, he pulled Gao Jie and introduced to the other three: "This is the loyal and brave marquis of the emperor, surnamed Gao Mingjie, and also my hardcore brother!"
When the leader of the brocade guard with a smiling face heard this, he hugged his fists in surprise and said: "It turns out that this is the famous loyal and brave marquis, and the subordinate Xu Xianchun is so polite!"
At first hearing the word "Xu Xianchun", Gao Jie's little heart jumped suddenly, and he couldn't help but look up and down at this smiling figure, and he couldn't believe that he was the ruthless Jinyi Wei villain recorded in the history books of later generations. Thinking of the torture he used to extract confessions, Gao Jie couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Xu Xianchun, a native of Dingxing, the grandson of Xu Congcheng, the captain of the horse, he passed the martial arts examination and entered the Jinyi Guard, and is currently the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Later history books listed him as one of Wei Zhongxian's "Five Biao", the main killing, and the end was notorious.
Seeing that Gao Jie suddenly lost his mind and did not respond with a return salute, Xu Xianchun was slightly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "If you want to come to the lowly position of the lower official, it is not surprising that the Marquis of Zhongyong has not heard of it, please take care of it in the future!"
Wei Liangqing also discovered Gao Jie's abnormality, and stabbed him in the ribs, Gao Jie woke up at this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The kid is rude, when I see the master, I have always had a bad problem of distraction, Brother Wei knows this, and I ask Lord Xu to forgive me!"
Wei Liangqing nodded again and again very cooperatively, proving that Gao Jie had this problem.
Xu Xianchun's smile did not change, and he said humbly: "Although the Marquis of Zhongyong has not been in Beijing for a long time, his reputation is far and wide, and he can see his true face here, and the lower officials feel lucky, how can they be a little dissatisfied." ”
Gao Jie saw this Xu Xianchun with a smile on his face, and listened to him speak politely, the trace of fear in Shicai's heart gradually faded, his words and demeanor regained his calmness, and he hugged Xu Xianchun again and said: "Lord Xu, you are my brother Wei's friend, then you are also Xiaojie's friend, let's not be so polite anymore, okay?!"
Xu Xianchun's eyes lit up, and he smiled happily: "As the Marquis of Zhongyong said, then the lower officials will no longer be polite!"
The tall man with a face like a ghost on the side had been watching coldly, but at this moment, seeing that Gao Jie had no fight, he quickly got closer to Xu Xianchun, and he was quite surprised, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Xiaguan Tian Ergeng, I have seen the Marquis of Zhongyong!"
When Gao Jie heard this, he almost fell to the ground in shock, his eyes widened, and he began to wander again. It's no wonder that he, Xu Xianchun is a powerful master in history, and this Tian Ergeng is even more than that, in the late Ming Dynasty, the limelight has overshadowed Gao Jie's uncle Luo Sigong.
Tian Ergeng, a native of Renqiu, Hebei, is the grandson of Tian Le, the secretary of the military department. He relied on his grandfather's shadow to enter Jinyiwei, and is now a prison officer of the factory guard.
Tian Ergeng's great name, not only because he later became the head of Wei Zhongxian's "Five Biao", brutal and ruthless, but also because after Luo Sigong left office, he was the successor of the commander of Jinyiwei. Although these situations have not happened at the moment, Gao Jie knows it and can not be surprised.
Seeing that Gao Jie deserted again, Xu Xianchun was stunned, and hurriedly snorted, and said with a smile: "Zhongyong Hou is distracted again, normal and normal!"
Wei Liangqing saw Xu Xianchun's appearance, as if he knew Gao Jie very well, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and quickly pushed Gao Jie again.
Gao Jie woke up again, coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and saluted Tian Ergeng with a fist: "The name of Lord Tian is like thunder, Xiao Jie was shocked when he heard it, don't be surprised!"
Tian Ergeng's face was expressionless, and he arched his hand to Gao Jie, and then he didn't say anything, but from his asymmetrical eyes, he could see that he didn't believe Gao Jie's words at all. Tian Ergeng suffered a tragedy when he was a child, so that his face was burned and damaged by the fire, like a ghost, the whole person's mood became extremely unstable, when chasing criminals, he often went crazy, bloodthirsty and brutal, and was frightening, and he had a fierce reputation within Jinyiwei, but because he was silent, withdrawn and difficult to approach, and rarely dealt with outsiders, so his reputation outside the Jinyi Wei Yamen was not obvious, Gao Jie said that he had heard his name for a long time, Tian Ergeng naturally did not believe it, and he was just polite.
Gao Jie could faintly feel a bloody breath from Tian Ergeng's body, seeing that his eyelids drooped, he no longer cared about himself, he did not feel unhappy, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the person standing at the end walking forward, and suddenly a wave of hatred arose, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
This person, like Hou Wang, became an enemy that Gao Jie would never forget day and night and could not hate his flesh after Gao Jie saw Xu Hongru, who was imprisoned in the Jinyi Wei Edict Prison and whose left arm had been cut off! Wei Qi of the Broken Knife Gate and the Marquis of the Great Sage Gate, these two unrighteous people, not only betrayed the hundreds of thousands of righteous troops in Shandong, but also cut off the arms of Xu Hongru, who had been kind to them, and tied him up and dedicated it to the officers and soldiers, so as to make meritorious service and be awarded the title of official.
King Hou had seen Gao Jie at Wei Liangqing's house a few days ago, but he didn't expect to see Wei Qi here again today. If he was in a deserted land at the moment, Gao Jie would definitely use his sword to chop this scum into pulp to vent his anger.
Wei Qi is the only son of Wei Chengguang, the master of the Broken Knife Gate in Yuncheng, Shandong, and was the only candidate for the next master of the Broken Knife Gate, but since he joined the Wenxiang Sect, he did not hesitate to abandon the position of the master of the famous family and devote himself to missionary and apologetic, so angry that his father almost vomited blood and threatened to sever the father-son relationship with him. Wei Qi can be appreciated by Xu Hongru, in addition to his strong martial arts and the true inheritance of the family knife breaking technique, but also because of his meticulous thinking, calm behavior, and quite a wise general. Wei Qi had a strange temper and exuded a cold aura all over his body, which was unapproachable, which was quite similar to Tian Ergeng. It's just that Tian Ergeng is because he has suffered a tragedy, and he has psychological problems, which is understandable, while Wei Qi was born in a martial arts family, although he is not as rich as the princely general's family, but compared with ordinary people, he can be regarded as a prominent family, I don't know why he will look like this.
Wei Qi's steps were not hurried or slow, he settled firmly, came to Gao Jie, bowed and saluted: "Wei Qi, a hundred households in Jinyi, meet the loyal and brave marquis!"
Gao Jie took a deep breath, secretly adjusted his mood, and then said with a faint smile: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Ben Hou has really never heard of it, you are new here!"
Gao Jie's words, listening to other people's ears, are nothing. As a Hou Ye, he is already very polite. But when Wei Liangqing heard this, his heart moved, Gao Jie has always been polite and courteous to people, and he is a model of respecting the old and loving the young, even if he is a subordinate in his own family, he will not speak like this, so he felt that something was not quite right, and immediately secretly remembered his words and deeds.
Wei Qi's face was still grim, and he nodded expressionlessly.
Xu Xianchun was worried that Wei Qi's cold and arrogant temperament would annoy Gao Jie, so he hurriedly interjected and smiled: "Master Hou has a good vision, it can really be said that there is no last resort, this Wei Qi is the junior disciple of Lord Tian, and he has only entered Beijing in the past two days, and he has to be appointed as a hundred households of Jinyi Wei." ”
Gao Jie nodded abruptly and said: "I see! As the saying goes, guarding the big tree is good for the shade, and Lord Tian takes care of it, and it is not difficult to get a hundred households!"
Hearing the thorn in Gao Jie's words, Xu Xianchun still pretended to be unaware with a smile, patted Wei Qi's shoulder, and said to Gao Jie: "Wei Qi has been awarded this position, not because of Lord Tian, but because of his accumulated achievements, which is well deserved!"
Gao Jie deliberately let out an "oh" and asked, "Have you made a meritorious service?" In these years, apart from going to the border pass to resist the enemy and resist Jin, it is very difficult for a military general to have a chance to make meritorious contributions. Isn't this Wei Baihu returning from the border pass?"
Tian Ergeng and Wei Qi are both cold-tempered people and are silent, Gao Jie's questioning is thanks to the presence of Xu Xianchun, and he is completely responsible for him.
Xu Xianchun shook his head and smiled: "No, no, no, in addition to the border pass to fight gold, hasn't Hou Ye forgotten the earth-shattering bandits in Shandong some time ago?"
Gao Jie covered his forehead as if he was awake, and said with a wry smile: "Indeed, I forgot about this, it turns out that Wei Baihu is a meritorious person in suppressing bandits!"
As soon as the word "bandits" was spoken, Gao Jie suddenly felt a chill coming from Wei Qi's body, and he couldn't help but tense the muscles of his whole body, and he became vigilant.
Xu Xianchun didn't feel it, he still had to talk about it in detail, but he secretly thought that what Wei Qi did didn't seem to be honorable to say, so he simply laughed and said, it was a tacit acquiescence.
Tian Ergeng rarely has friends, this Xu Xianchun is one of his few friends, and he can even be called a close friend. Wei Qi is Tian Ergeng's fellow disciple, and Xu Xianchun will naturally have the idea of helping.
Gao Jie knew Xu Xianchun's thoughts, and couldn't help but glance at him again. Gao Jie always thinks in his heart that people who value love and righteousness, filial piety and kindness are generally not too bad, this Xu Xianchun can be friends with Tian Ergeng who looks like a ghost, and loves the house and Wu, and always thinks about the junior brother who maintains his friends, which makes Gao Jie feel good.
Wei Liangqing had already determined that there was a problem between Gao Jie and Wei Qi at this moment, for fear that something would go wrong if he continued to talk about it, so he hurriedly said loudly: "It's freezing outside, Brother Tian, Brother Xu, you are all top martial arts masters, and you are not afraid of the cold, but the younger brother can't stand it anymore, so why don't you ask everyone to go to the village and roast the fire while cooking?"
When Gao Jie heard this, he knew that he was a little out of shape, smiled apologetically at Wei Liangqing, and echoed: "What Brother Wei said is very true, the big guy should hurry into the village! Otherwise, after a while, I am afraid that there will be a few more snowmen at the gate of this manor!"
Gao Jie's words caused Wei Liangqing, Sun Qianguang and Xu Xianchun to laugh loudly, and even Tian Ergeng's ugly face pulled out an ugly smile.
Immediately, the group followed behind Gao Jie and Wei Liangqing, stepped on the snow, and headed towards the village.
Wei Qi fell behind, his steps were still unhurried, firm and steady. His head was slightly raised, and the cold north wind wrapped in fine snowflakes and hit his face one after another, but his eyes were staring at Gao Jie's back without blinking, and his eyes were cold, as if it was colder than the harsh winter in the suburbs of Beijing.
