Chapter 41: Zuo Ci

"Hehe, second brother, guess what's the matter with General Huwei personally writing this letter to a certain person?" asked Gongsun Ruyun with a smile to his fellow brother Gongsun Yue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gongsun Yue shook his head blankly and said, "Brother can't guess." ”

Gongsun Ruyun put the letter sent by Yuan Qi on the table, looked up and said with a smile: "Yuan Huwei is going to be a hero again, write a letter to ask someone to help him find a Qingzhou Donglai man named Zuo Ci." ”

"Yuan Huwei's eyes are also really poisonous, but everyone who is favored by him is a handsome man. Gongsun Yue sighed and said.

"Yes, presumably this Zuo Ci, whom we have never heard of before, must also have his superiority, otherwise he would not have entered the eyes of Yuan Huwei. Okay, let's do a favor, second brother, you immediately go and inquire about this person named Zuo Ci, as soon as there is news, you can report it quickly, and someone will send someone to inform General Huwei. Gongsun Ruyun commanded.

"Yes, brother, I'll take someone to inquire about the news. Gongsun Yue responded.

Just when the two brothers of Gongsun Ruyun sent people to look for Zuo Ci in accordance with Yuan Qi's entrustment, Yuan Qi was not idle, he sent a few sergeants who could speak well, riding fast horses contributed by the Thorn Tower people, and rushed to Donglai, Qingzhou day and night, and instructed these sergeants to invite Zuo Ci's mother, that is, Mrs. Zuo, to Beiping safely.

After finishing the task at hand, Yuan Qi was empty again, feeling that he had nothing to do. Inadvertently, a beautiful shadow emerged from my mind, dressed in plain clothes, without powder, but captivating the country and the city. Yuan Qi muttered to himself in a low voice: "Yi'er, I miss you so much, you wait for me, and I will go to the capital to marry you in a few years." ”

It seems that he heard Yuan Qi's heart, and it seems that he has a heart, and the brocade clothes that are caressing the qin in the Jinfu in the capital stopped playing in a daze, looking at the sky, a pair of autumn-like eyes, slowly filled with lovesickness, but was disturbed by a sneeze.

It's been three years, and I haven't seen each other for three years, although I often receive letters from Yuan Qi, but Jinyi is still full of lovesickness, and because the two are far apart, they can only rely on Hongyan to pass on the book to tell the heart.

Two days later, Gongsun Yue rushed into the room of the eldest brother Gongsun Ruyun: "Big brother, the person named Zuo Ci was found, but there was a little accident, this person was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't want to come with me, and said that if Xiaobawang wanted to recruit him, he had to beat the gun in his hand." ”

"Oh? It seems that Yuan Huwei's vision is on the spot again, presumably such a proud person must have some means under his subordinates, forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter, a certain letter to Yuan Huwei back, as for whether to come or not, it's his own business." Gongsun Ruyun shook his head and said.

In the hall of the Taishou Mansion in Beiping, Yuan Qi looked at the letter sent by Gongsun Ruyun, and couldn't help laughing: "This Zuo Ci is really proud." ”

Zhang Long, who was sitting on the side, had just returned from training as a sergeant, and when he heard Yuan Qi's words, he asked curiously: "Zuo Ci? Is that the Donglai Zuo Ci that Senior Brother entrusted General Gongsun to find?"

Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, it's him, this Zuo Ci, who actually said to General Gongsun that only by letting a certain better than the halberd in his hand will he truly belong to a certain person." ”

Zhang Long's eyes widened when he heard this: "What? This Zuo Ci is also too rampant, haven't you heard of the prestige of Senior Brother Xiaobawang?

"Wait," Yuan Qi hurriedly called out to Zhang Long, "Senior Brother Zhang Long, don't worry, I think this Zuo Ci is proud of his martial arts and wants to compete with a certain person, so let's go and meet him in person, if everything goes well, there will be another tiger general under his command!"

Hearing that Yuan Qi was going to go in person, Zhang Long couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, now that you are also the world-famous General Huwei and the Marquis of Baisheng Pavilion, why are you still serious with an unknown person?"

Yuan Qi shook his head and said: "Zhang Long, you have to remember that there are many heroes and heroes among the reckless, and the lack of fame today does not mean that they will not be able to shock the world in the future." Five years ago, how many people in the world knew so-and-so?"

Scratching his head, Zhang Long said a little embarrassed: "Senior brother said the same, hehe, five years ago, senior brother seemed to be... ”

Yuan Qi's old face was tender: "Zhang Long, I have repeatedly emphasized to you that sooner or later you will inevitably lead an army alone, and in the future, remember not to act rashly, and you must think twice before acting." ”

Zhang Long smiled and said, "Yes, the junior brother wrote it down." In the future, I will definitely do what my brother says. ”

"Okay, go and get ready, and you and a certain person will go to meet Donglai Zuoci later. ”

A few days later, Yuan Qi and Zhang Long took more than a dozen Tiangui Ying Rui and rode their horses to western Liaoning.

After more than three days of trekking, at noon, Yuan Qi and his party came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion in Liaoxi. It happened that Gongsun Yue was going out to run errands, and when he saw Yuan Qi really coming in person, he hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Gongsun Yue greets General Huwei." ”

Yuan Qi turned over and dismounted, pulled Gongsun Yue's arm and said with a smile: "They are all old acquaintances, the second general doesn't have to be polite, and I want to thank your brother for helping to find Zuo Ci." ”

Gongsun Yue hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General Huwei is serious, our brother admires the general's martial courage and resourcefulness very much, and can help the general, our brother will never refuse." Hurry inside please. As he spoke, he led Yuan Qi and the others into the mansion.

There were already subordinates who trotted in all the way to tell Gongsun Zhuyun, Gongsun Zhuyun immediately greeted him, and after seeing Yuan Qi and others, Gongsun Zhuyun's face was full of sincere smiles: "General Huwei is coming, and Zhuyun is far away." ”

Yuan Qi looked at this man with a true temperament, perhaps, it would be a good choice to take Gongsun Ruyun under his command?

Suppressing what he was thinking, Yuan Qi arched his hand and said: "What did General Gongsun say? You and I are old acquaintances, only personal relations, regardless of official positions, if General Gongsun does not give up, just call a certain Yuan Qi." ”

Gongsun Ruyun was already a cheerful person, and when he heard Yuan Qi's words, he laughed and said: "Okay, then so-and-so will be a big deal, Brother Yuan Qi, please inside!"

The group came to the hall and sat down. After sitting down, Gongsun Ruyun asked with a smile: "Presumably, Brother Yuan Qi Xian came here for the matter of Donglai Zuoci?"

Yuan Qi responded with a smile: "That's right, the younger brother came here for this matter, and thanks to General Gongsun, he found out Zuo Ci's whereabouts so quickly." ”

Gongsun Ruyun said bluntly: "Brother Yuan Qixian, you don't want General Gongsun to come all the time, General Gongsun is gone, I will call you Yuan Qi in the future, and you will call me brother, okay?"

Yuan Qi arched his hand and said: "Since it is the order of Brother Gongsun, it is to obey the order." ”

Gongsun Ruyun smiled with satisfaction: "That's right." As for the Zuo Ci you mentioned, he lives not far from the city for the time being. ”

Yuan Qi got up and said: "In this case, without further ado, please ask Brother Gongsun to send someone to lead the way, and I will go to meet him." ”

"Brother Yuan Qi is really fast-talking, and a certain brother will accompany Brother Xian to meet that Donglai Zuoci!"

Out of the county town of Liaoxi, the group rode their horses and galloped eastward. Halfway through, Gongsun Ruyun looked at the jade unicorn that Yuan Qi sat down on the divine horse, and said enviously: "Brother Xian's mount, it is really a once-in-a-lifetime BMW, this horse is snow-white, only there is a three-inch crescent-shaped golden mane in the middle of the forehead, and the long mane under the neck resembles a lion, if you are not mistaken, this BMW should be the descendant of the king horse of the snowy region?"

Yuan Qi smiled lightly: "Brother Gongsun really has good eyesight! This jade unicorn is a descendant of the King Horse of the Snow Domain, and it was a gift from his grandfather when he was eight years old. Why? Brother Gongsun likes this horse too?"

Gongsun Ruyun sighed and said: "As a military general, I naturally hope to have a good horse, and many times, the loyalty of a war horse is much more reliable than that of a person." ”

Nodding with deep feelings, and after reaching out and touching the long mane of the jade unicorn, Yuan Qi said: "This horse was given by my grandfather, and I didn't dare to transfer it to Brother Gongsun privately. ”

Zhang Long interjected and said: "Yes, yes, a few days ago I saw a horse, no worse than a white crane sitting down, and it was given to General Gongsun, which is good." ”

After hearing Zhang Long's words, Gongsun Ruyun's face was full of joy, along the way, Gongsun Ruyun had already seen the white crane that Zhang Long was sitting on, although it was not as good as the jade unicorn of Yuanqi, but it was also a good horse for a thousand miles.

Yuan Qi saw the joy on Gongsun Ruyun's face, so he said: "When a certain person returns to Beiping, let Senior Brother Zhang Long choose that good horse, and then select five good horses to send to Brother Gongsun, and let Second Brother Gongsun also choose one." ”

When Gongsun Yue on the side heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you General Huwei for your generous gift!"

While everyone was talking and laughing, a wooden house made of thick wooden planks appeared in everyone's sight. Pointing to the wooden house, Gongsun Yue said, "General Huwei, please look, that is Zuo Ci's residence." ”

When Yuan Qi heard this, he restrained the jade qilin, sat on his horse and looked at the wooden house for a while, then turned over and dismounted, took the reins, and walked towards the wooden house on foot.

Seeing Yuan Qi's actions, the group was all surprised and inexplicable. What kind of means does this Donglai Zuoci have? Is it worth walking on foot by today's famous General Huwei and Hou Yuanqi of Baisheng Pavilion to show respect?

The door of the wooden house creaked open, and out of the wooden house came a young man with a tiger's back and a body of eight feet long. looks at the age of about twenty years old, which is about the same age as Zhang Long.

The young man carried a long spear in his hand, a pair of short spears on his back, and a large bow at his waist. Ever since he walked out of the hut, the young man had been standing still and watching Yuanqi.

Under his gaze, Yuan Qi led the horse step by step in front of him, and asked loudly, "Are you Zuo Ci?" The young man replied loudly: "Yes, it is Zuo Ci, who are you?"

Gongsun Yue, who was not far away after Yuan got up, angrily reprimanded: "Bold! Dare to be rude to General Huwei and Baisheng Tinghou!"

Hearing Gongsun Yue's angry rebuke, a trace of consternation first appeared on Zuo Ci's face, and then he showed a look of disdain, and said proudly: "I thought that General Huwei was famous in Youzhou, and he must be a great figure, but when I saw it today, I was disappointed, a yellow-haired boy broke into a great reputation! ”

Yuan Qi said lightly: "Ambition is not old. When you invited a certain person to come, you said that as long as you defeated the gun in your hand, you would join the army to serve, is this sentence true?"

Zuo Ci pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully and said: "The eldest husband has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase! As long as you can defeat a certain gun, this life will be yours in the future! I'm afraid that you, a yellow-haired child, can't even take a certain gun!"

Yuan Qi stopped talking, turned over on his horse, and beckoned to Zhang Long. Zhang Long understood, took off the halberd hanging on horseback, and threw it in the direction of Yuanqi. Yuan Qi stretched out his hand to catch the halberd, the tip of the halberd pointed obliquely at the earth, stretched out his empty left hand, and beckoned to Zuo Ci.

Seeing that Yuan Qi despised him, Zuo Ci's angry face turned red, he rubbed his fingers and put them in his mouth and whistled, and a black horse ran from behind the wooden house after hearing Zuo Ci's call. Zuo Ci turned over and got on the horse, knocked his legs on the horse's belly, and stabbed Yuan Qi with a spear.
