Chapter Seventy-Four
Holding the Chitian Divine Sword in his hand, Yuan Qi's hand holding the sword was as stable as a mountain, looking at Huang Zu and Huang Yong who were kneeling on the ground, Yuan Qi opened his mouth and said: "General Huang has a meritorious service in saving people, no need to be polite, get up." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Huang Yong stood up as he said, and then retreated behind Yuan's body.
Turning his gaze to Huang Zu, Yuan Qi's voice suddenly became like a person who could freeze to death: "Huang Taishou, as an official of the imperial court, but you are lawless, when you are on the street, you encounter an upright and loyal person to stop you, you don't think about your own mistakes, but want to be captured on the spot, Ben Hou asks you, are you guilty?"
Huang Zu felt Yuan Qi's killing intent, and knew that today's plan would never be good, and he would fail to pass the test in a foolish way, which made him extremely hesitant in his heart. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say a few soft words, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a slightly old voice shouted: "Virtuous nephew and sword to keep people!"
Hearing this voice, Huang Zu's heart fell suddenly, with the owner of this voice, he couldn't die today, and after turning around the ghost gate, he finally returned to the world.
A group of more than ten rode fast horses and came to a stop beside Yuan Qi and the others. The first person turned over and dismounted, with a gray beard and a graceful bearing, who is it not Jingzhou Mu Yuanbiao?
Seeing Yuan Biao's arrival, Yuan Qi had no choice but to put away the Red Sky Divine Sword, and bowed to Yuan Biao: "See the state pastor." "In fact, in terms of grade, Yuan Qi is a second-grade hussar general, and Yuan Biao is a first-grade Jingzhou pastor, but Yuan Qi also has the title of champion marquis, in comparison, the status of the two can be said to be comparable, Yuan Qi saluted Yuan Biao, completely out of etiquette, after all, Yuan Biao is Yuan Qi's elder of the same clan, and Yuan Qi also hangs the position of Nanyang Taishou, which is controlled by Yuan Table.
Yuan Biao looked at Yuan Qi, and his face was full of smiles that made people feel very sincere: "Virtuous nephew, what you are holding in your hand is the Red Heaven Divine Sword handed down by the former ancestors?"
Yuan Qi replied: "Exactly." ”
Yuan Biao nodded, put away his smile, and then made a gesture to bow to the Red Sky Divine Sword in Yuan Qi's hand.
Even if Yuan Biao really has the heart to worship, Yuan Qi can't let Yuan Biao worship, not to mention that Yuan Biao really wants to worship before he sees it, maybe it's just to make a show. Yuan Qi hurriedly supported Yuan Biao and said: "The state pastor is highly respected, and he is also a member of the royal family, so you must not perform this great gift and break the little nephew." ”
Seeing that Yuan Qi grabbed him, Yuan Biao secretly said in his heart: This kid is very good at being a man. So, Yuan Biao symbolically arched his hand towards the Red Heaven Divine Sword, even if he had seen the Gaozu Holy Weapon. Then he changed the topic and asked Xiang Yuanqi: "Virtuous nephew, I don't know how Huang Zu offended the virtuous nephew?"
Huang Zu hurriedly said on the side: "Lord Zhou Mu wants to call the shots of so-and-so, and the Yuan Hussar wants to kill so-and-so......"
Yuan Biao flicked his sleeves unhappily and snorted coldly: "If you don't make a weapon, don't keep your mouth shut!"
looked at Yuan Biao, and then looked at Huang Zu, after his eyes quietly turned between the two of them, Yuan Qi came back a little, Yuan Biao probably came to save Huang Zu, but I don't know what is wrong between the two, so that Yuan Biao cares so much about Huang Zu's life and death.
After a deep groan, Yuan Qi explained the matter in detail, Yuan Biao didn't expect Huang Zu to make such a big fuss, and gradually sank his face, looking at Huang Zu's eyes, which were also cold. Huang Zu noticed the change in Yuan Biao, for fear that Yuan Biao would leave it alone, then he would really become a revenant under the Red Sky Sword, so he hurriedly walked to Yuan Biao's side, wanting to say something.
Before Huang Zu could speak, the expression on Yuan Biao's face turned into a bright smile again, and he said to Yuan Qi: "Ah, that's the case, I already know about this matter, virtuous nephew, you don't know, a few days ago, a group of water thieves gathered on the river to make trouble, and this government sent someone to quickly summon Huang Taishou to Xiangyang, and wanted Huang Taishou to calm down the trouble, he was eager to make contributions, so he came to the street, according to the government, this matter is over." ”
Noticing the change in the expression on Yuan Biao's face, Yuan Qi couldn't help but secretly say Old Fox, the speed of turning his face is really faster than turning a book! Obviously, if he wants to take down Huang Zu today, he simply sells Yuan Biao a face. So, Yuan Qi arched his hand and said: "So that's the case, Huang Taishou was originally loyal. But I don't know where the water thief dares to be so rampant?"
Yuan Biao listened to Yuan Qi's meaning, he was willing to let Huang Zu go, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "This matter is a long story, I think that when the government first arrived in Jingzhou, this group of water thieves already existed, but the government was busy governing the state and county, and had no time to exterminate them, so these thieves became bigger and bigger, and the first person was called Gan Jing, leading thousands of water thieves to make trouble everywhere on the river, just because their sails were made of fine brocade, so people called them brocade thieves." ”
Yuan Qi heard Gan Jing's name, his heart pounded, now the cavalry and infantry under his command are elite, but only the lack of a naval army, if you can recruit Gan Jing to fill the gap in his naval army, isn't it a good thing to have the best of both worlds?
After a little hesitation, Yuan Qi said: "Zhou Mu, this gang of water thieves will be a scourge sooner or later, and they should be eradicated as soon as possible." Why don't you leave this battle to your little nephew?"
Yuan Biao looked at Yuan Qi with a little surprise, and said in a deep voice: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, this group of water thieves is like the wind on the river, and their whereabouts are secretive, and this government has tried to exterminate them several times, but they have escaped, and they are proficient in water warfare, and ordinary people are not opponents at all." ”
Huang Zu on the side hurriedly helped: "That's right! And the bandit leader Gan Jing has the courage of ten thousand people, but he is very brave, even the general is not completely sure that he can destroy him." "The implication is that even my Huang Zu can't destroy people, and others don't have to think that they can be destroyed. This is also Huang Zu looking for a place for himself, he was shocked by Yuan Qi just now, which made Huang Zu feel very uncomfortable, so he wanted to take the opportunity to hit Yuan Qi's arrogance.
Pouting, Yuan Qi said to Huang Zu: "Does Huang Taishou think that Ben Hou is joking?"
Huang Zu broke out in a cold sweat by Yuan Qi's words, and hurriedly waved his hand, trying to explain clearly: "No, no, no, Ben Jiang, alas, so-and-so doesn't mean that, it's just, it's just ......"
Seeing Huang Zu's aggrieved appearance, Yuan Biao secretly sighed, Yuan Qi, the nephew surnamed Huang, is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people, even Huang Zu, who he has always relied on, is not his opponent, and he was played by Yuan Qi between applause in a few words, you know, there is a difference of nearly 20 years of life experience between Huang Zu and Yuan Qi, if the age of the two is transferred, let Yuan Qi have another 20 years of experience, I am afraid that in this world, no one will be his opponent.
Huang Zu said a few words of defense vaguely, and he couldn't even convince himself, so he hurriedly turned his eyes for help to Yuan Biao. Yuan Biao said loudly: "Virtuous nephew, Huang Taishou didn't mean this, it's just that the virtuous nephew has served in Nanyang for less than half a year, and the water war is different from the land war, so the virtuous nephew must not be careless." ”
Huang Zu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, this is what it means, that's what it means." ”
Without looking at Huang Zu, Yuan Qi said to Yuan Biao seriously: "Don't worry, the little nephew knows that before the New Year, the little nephew will definitely capture Gan Jing and others and rush back to participate in the annual meeting!"
There are less than ten days left before the New Year, that is to say, Yuan Qi has to find and defeat Gan Jing and other Jinfan thieves within ten days, which is undoubtedly very difficult.
Yuan Biaohu looked at Yuan Qi suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "Virtuous nephew, you must know that there is no joke in the army. ”
Yuan Qi said loudly: "I am willing to make a military order! Within ten days, if you can't capture Gan Jing, you will be willing to accept military law!"
"Okay!" Yuan Biao's anger was provoked by Yuan Qi, and he said loudly: "How many soldiers and horses do you want, just say it! In Yuan Biao's view, Yuan Qi is slapping himself in the face, he has sent people and horses to encircle and suppress Gan Jing many times, but he has not succeeded, and even lost his troops, and now Yuan Qi dares to boast that he will capture Gan Jing in Haikou within ten days? This is not a slap in the face? So Yuan Biao no longer persuaded Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi can toss as much as he wants, and wait until the ten days are over, to see what face he has to come back to participate in the annual meeting.
Yuan Qi stretched out a finger and handed it to Yuan Biao.
Looking at Yuan Qi's gesture, Yuan Biao frowned and said, "A thousand?"
Yuan Qi shook his head.
"10,000 people? This is absolutely not going to work, and on the occasion of the annual meeting, the government will leave heavy troops to guard Xiangyang to ensure the safety of officials in various places. Yuan Biao replied.
Who knew that Yuan Qi still shook his head.
Now it was Yuan Biao's turn to be puzzled, and he couldn't help asking, "How many people does the virtuous nephew want?"
Yuan Qi's outstretched finger turned in a different direction, pointed at Huang Yong and said, "The little nephew wants to be alone, Changsha Huang Yong!"
Huang Zu on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this, obviously thinking that Yuan Qi's brain was broken, and he didn't want to let people go, and asked for an old pawn by name, isn't there something wrong with his brain?
Huang Zu's laughter made Huang Yong's heart very unhappy, since he saw Huang Zu, this guy changed his face several times in a short period of time, first he was arrogant and arrogant, and after knowing Yuan Qi's identity, he used a trick to get by, and when Yuan Qi showed the Red Sky Divine Sword, Huang Zu immediately made a groveling demeanor, and then when Yuan Biao arrived, he felt that he had a battle again, and he was tough again, but he was frightened back by Yuan Qi's words, and now he is crazy again, despising the heroes of the world. On the contrary, he is a young hero of the Yuanqi, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, he was confident from beginning to end, and he was a general, such a person can gather talents around him, he is the pillar of the country's future, and he is the master that Huang Yong should follow!
Yuan Biao glanced at Huang Yong, although Yuan Biao knew that Huang Yong had always been martial arts, but he firmly believed that no matter how fierce the tiger was, it would be so old that it would lose its teeth, and it would no longer be fierce. Therefore, since coming to Jingzhou, Yuanbiao has never really paid attention to Huang Yong. A little old man who is about to turn 50 years old, what is there to pay attention to? In contrast, it is still Huang Zu and his wife-in-law Cai Mao and others who are more worthy of their own reuse.
What is the difference between taking more than 20 people to fight with thousands of Jinfan thieves and looking for death? Yuan Biao has his own abacus in his heart, he knows that Yuan Qi is brave and brave, even if he fails, he can fight a bloody way out of the ten thousand armies, and there will be no danger of his life, but failure seems to be a foregone conclusion, and he can slightly frustrate Yuan Qi's sharp spirit, and Yuan Biao is also happy to see it, otherwise it will be an elbow for him to lead Jingzhou in the future. The thoughts in his heart, Yuan Biao will never show it, but he will not be stingy with his verbal appreciation: "General Huang, are you willing to follow Yuan Hussar to build this great achievement?"
Huang Yong straightened his body, making his already straight body even straighter, like a javelin, and said loudly: "I don't dare to ask for it!"
