Chapter 7, now Chapter 4~~huh~~~
As he said that, he saw Hou Shi coming to the banquet and said with a smile, "What are you two talking about?"
Lu Hui laughed and said, "Mr. Zheng and I just said that although the music played across the bank is elegant, it can't be heard clearly when there are too many people. How about..." Lu Hui and Hou Shi glanced at it and laughed.
According to Hou Chi's words, he placed the singing girl among the seats, and Lu Hui also led a gorgeous singing girl back to his seat.Zheng Yicheng was full of worries, and was thinking about how to get out, but saw a singing girl holding a jiegu, who seemed to have a kind face, and couldn't help but look carefully.Hou Chi also said that Zheng Yicheng was interested in the singing girl, so he specially placed her on Zheng Yicheng's table.
When the singing girl sat at the table, Zheng Yicheng saw that the singing girl's behavior and appearance were far from the person in his heart, so he stopped thinking about it.He kept silent, holding the white porcelain wine jug with carved flowers on the case, and was about to drink.The geisha immediately took the jug, poured wine for him and said, "Young Master, why don't you do this kind of thing, let Shulan do it for you!"
Zheng Yicheng took the wine glass, feeling a mess in his heart, how could he foolishly believe Yang Bangjie's rhetoric?Saying that you don't want to marry again, you just want the two of you to stay together, raise your eyebrows, and speak earnestly, as if you were telling the truth.Before he had a heart-to-heart relationship with him, he was so diligent in coaxing others, but now that he has devoted his heart and soul to him, he actually agreed to marry Wei Zhongjiedu without telling himself, would he want to repeat Linghutu's mistakes?
Zheng Yicheng summoned Lin Zu and asked, "A while ago, was there an emissary from Wei Zhonglai?"
Standing by the side, Lin Zu could hear clearly, so he could only say, "Sir, why don't you wait until you go back and ask General Yang before you talk, just listening to these gossips will not disturb your mind."
Zheng Yicheng pressed himself to ask, and refused to give up, "Sure enough, there is an envoy from Wei Zhong coming, but you still refuse to let me know, right?"
Lin Zu still didn't let go, and tried to persuade, "Mr. Zheng, don't think too much. If it really happened, how could you not let him know?"
Hearing that Lin Zu refused to answer directly, Zheng Yicheng knew that there really was an envoy from Wei Zhong visiting, and the feeling of being deceived by Yang Bangjie became stronger.He was sore in his heart, and drank a few cups sullenly, and the feeling of wine welled up, and he was full of sourness, but there was no way to vent it.Feeling depressed for a while, he took the Jiegu from the singing girl and sang loudly:
Those who abandon me shall not stay yesterday.
Those who disturb my heart are so troubled today.
Changfeng Wanli sent Qiuyan, which can be a tall building.
Penglai's article was Jian'an Bone, and the middle Xie was clear again.
I want to fly in the blue sky and see the moon.
It's even more worrying to cut off the water with a knife, and it's even more worrying to lift a toast.
Life is unsatisfactory in the world, the Ming Dynasty distributes flat boats.
The singing voice was heroic and unrestrained, and everyone was laughing. When Zheng Yicheng sang, they all held their breath and listened intently.In this troubled world, most of the talented people are underappreciated. After hearing about it and thinking about their personal encounters, some of you here can't help covering your faces and sighing.At the end of the song, everyone was silent for a while, and then they suddenly praised it.
Hou Shi asked people to come over with three wine glasses and laughed, "Brother Zixin, why did you sing such a sad note? It's a festive festival, and it made everyone feel sad. This is a punishment for drinking."
Zheng Yicheng didn't shirk, and said with a forced smile, "My younger brother lost his love for a while and made everyone feel sad. It is indeed my fault. Although I am shallow, now I have to risk my life to accompany the gentleman." He drank three glasses in a row.
Hou Chi urged Yuan Xi to be an officer, to pass the order of beating drums, but he himself sat down beside Zheng Yicheng, and said in a low voice, "I have prepared a few guest rooms. If brother Zixin is not feeling well, you might as well take a rest. If there is nothing urgent, It’s okay to stay in the humble house for a few days.”
It's always been the case that everyone gets drunk if they don't get drunk, not to mention that Zheng Yicheng is now "toasting to relieve worries and worries", he has long been dizzy from drinking.Hearing what Hou Chi said kindly, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm bothering you like this." He was about to get up as he said that, but he didn't want to stagger and stand unsteadily.
Hou Chi hurriedly ordered the maid to go to the wing, and said to Shulan, "Miss, would you like to help Mr. Zheng change?" Shulan nodded slightly, and followed Zheng Yicheng into the wing.
Zheng Yicheng was still a little awake, seeing Shulan help him take off his boots, and was about to take off his coat, he said quickly, "Don't bother me, let Yicheng do it by himself!" Seeing that Shulan's face turned red and blue for a long time Can't say a word.
Zheng Yicheng was still drunk at first, but seeing Shulan's thoughts fluttered like this, he asked softly, "You...are you Yaomei?"
That Shulan gritted her teeth, turned her head away and said in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, I've been wondering if it's you just now, but I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't recognize it, and I don't dare to be presumptuous. I don't think it's really you! Now you Developed, but I..." Before finishing the sentence, I have already cried until a branch of pear blossoms brings rain in spring.
Zheng Yicheng saw that the person in front of him was indeed his cousin Xiao Qingyao, the feeling of confusion in his head disappeared, and he said softly, "Brother Wei's current situation is not as beautiful as you think."
Xiao Qingyao also said that Zheng Yicheng was making excuses, frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Nowadays, there are discussions in restaurants and teahouses. Zheng Caizi broke through Nanyak, based on Li Bai's wonderful pen, Liu Bei's visit to the thatched cottage, Sun Wu training soldiers and killing concubine, and all kinds of allusions. Say Zhuge is reborn, but you say you have no ambitions? Could it be that you have belittled me and refused to help?"
Seeing her anger, Zheng Yicheng said patiently, "Sister Yao, you all know that it's a street talk, how can you believe it? Even though I'm General Yang's staff, I'm still dependent on others. It’s just a high-ranking official position. If it’s really as amazing as Zhuge Wuhou, he would have been appointed a general and a marquis long ago.”
When Zheng Yicheng mentioned Yang Bangjie, he felt lost, and couldn't hide his resentment and resentment.Seeing his expression, Xiao Qingyao really described it as downcast and frustrated, she couldn't help but bow her head and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I have endured all these years, and finally met a relative, and I forgot about it for a while."
Seeing her calm down, Zheng Yicheng asked, "Are you living in this Marquis' mansion now, or somewhere else?"
Xiao Qingyao wiped her eyes and said, "I'm in Yinyuelou today. Brother Cheng, if it's convenient, you can redeem me and go out as soon as possible." Although Yinyuelou is famous locally, it can only be regarded as a second-class brothel. Waiting for the pheasants to suffer, but it is still necessary to do some prostitution.
Zheng Yicheng asked compassionately, "How much is the ransom, do you know?"
Xiao Qingyao sighed and said, "Nurse said she wanted 150 guan, now I have saved 350 guan, but I still have [-] guan not enough."
Zheng Yicheng gasped and said, "350 guan! I will try my best to get it."
Although Yang Bangjie entrusted him to take care of all his own money, he couldn't help but exchange gifts, but at this time Zheng Yicheng didn't want to use these properties at all.As for the meat and gold from working as prostitutes, all the troops took it away, and the gifts from benefactors were mostly clothes and books, which were not worth much.Now Zheng Yicheng's monthly salary is only 350 yuan, how can he get together the [-] yuan?
Xiao Qingyao had seen many times, and she could see that Zheng Yicheng was troubled. She said softly, "Brother Cheng, if you don't get the money, don't force it. I'll make the money slowly, and I can always redeem myself."
Zheng Yicheng felt ashamed in his heart, discussing with Yang Bangjie was a simple matter, how could he let his cousin be ruined by others just because of his whim?
He reluctantly said, "It's not difficult, but I have to discuss it with others. Just wait, and I will try to redeem you as soon as possible." Then he asked, "What happened to the family? How did you end up here? I remember When my uncle returned to the Western Wei Dynasty, he served as an official according to his original position!"
Xiao Qingyao said, "I don't remember very clearly what happened when I was young. I heard that my father committed an offense. Many soldiers came to the house, ransacking the house and arresting people. When mother heard what kind of wives and daughters she wanted to sell, she ran into a wall in a hurry. Let’s go, I didn’t understand at the time, and I still blamed my mother for leaving us brothers and sisters alone, but now I understand, it’s too late...” After speaking, she wiped away tears, most of the makeup on her face was worn out by crying.
Zheng Yicheng took out a sweat towel to let her wipe away her tears, and asked for a clear water dressing table for Xiao Qingyao to do her makeup.Zheng Yicheng was used to serving Yang Bangjie on weekdays, so he didn't think there was anything wrong; Xiao Qingyao thought there was something wrong when seeing his cousin so attentive.She rolled up her sleeves, washed them with clean water, repainted the mirror, but kept looking at Zheng Yicheng.
But seeing that he is tall and slender, with clear eyebrows, a little melancholy locked between his brows, he looks extraordinarily stable and mature, and he is dressed in ai green Shu brocade bamboo leaf pattern, which sets off his graceful demeanor, as high as a green bamboo.Thinking back to Zheng Yicheng who was at the table just now, letting his talents do his best, he couldn't help secretly feeling admiration.
Xiao Qingyao dabbed the rouge lightly, re-cut her hair bun, put golden emerald flowers on the hairpin, and shouted in a low voice, "Brother Cheng..."
Zheng Yicheng turned his head to look, and felt the fragrance in front of his eyes, Xiao Qingyao's face was like a peach blossom, her body was covered with goose-yellow double-breasted tulle and rose-red ribbons, only a piece of pomegranate myrobalan half-covered her breasts, and nothing else.The lower body is a long skirt with glazed yellow flowers, and a brocade belt is tied high around the waist.The little girl who used to wear her horns is now slim and graceful, like an apricot flower in full bloom in spring.
Xiao Qingyao leaned over and asked softly, "Brother Cheng, why are you so sad? Now that we meet again, we should be happy. If you have the heart, we... we should continue the incense of Zheng and Xiao's family..." Xiao Qingyao After finishing speaking, her cheeks were flushed, three points better than a peach blossom.

(44) Storms on the ground
"If you have the heart, we...we should renew the incense of Zheng and Xiao's family..."
There was a gust of fragrant wind, warm jade in his arms, Zheng Yicheng couldn't help but be moved by it.He kept his mind on his mind, took two steps back and said, "I already have a lover..." After saying this, he thought that Yang Bangjie planned to marry another without telling him, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
Xiao Qingyao observed her words and expressions, and didn't ask any further questions, but instead said with relief, "Brother Cheng, don't worry about that girl. It is said that there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, why bother to fall in love with a single flower, just look at it."
Zheng Yicheng was said to be the center of the matter, so he couldn't help but blushed and said, "You don't understand anything, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao Qingyao pursed her lips and snickered, "Seeing that you sigh when you talk about your sweetheart, isn't it because you are suffering from love and using wine to drown your sorrows? I have seen this kind of guests a lot, and the expression is exactly the same as yours."
"Say something else, or I'm going to sleep." Zheng Yicheng said and sat down on the edge of the bed unsteadily, put on his boots, apparently wanted to escape, and asked for another room to rest.
Xiao Qingyao was amused by Zheng Yicheng's clumsy appearance, she couldn't help smiling, full of charm, "Brother Cheng, you just drank a lot, why bother yourself like this, just rest on this bed! Squint for a while, I'll wait That's it."
Zheng Yicheng is also a person who has experienced a lot. For some reason, when facing Xiao Qingyao, he seemed quite raw, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond, "This..."
Seeing him like that, Xiao Qingyao immediately understood, and said calmly, "I know, we are alone in the same room, you are afraid that you will be called a prostitute and let the girl eat, so I will just avoid it." At this time She was a little curious about that cousin's favorite person. She didn't know which girl could win the favor of Zheng Dacai.
Zheng Yicheng can understand the pain of being sent and greeted very well. Even though he was worried, he still said, "You stay here, I will sleep on the floor, and you will sleep on the couch. If it is because of me that you have to pick up guests when you go back, isn't that right?" I suffered an extra crime for no reason.”
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Hou paid the price for both the day and the night game. If he asks, I have my own answer."
After Xiao Qingyao finished speaking, she opened the door and went out, leaving Zheng Yicheng alone in the room.Zheng Yicheng's heart relaxed, the feeling of alcohol welled up, he fell asleep and didn't know Dongfang was white.
Waking up the next day, Lin Zu looked at Zheng Yicheng with an indescribably strange expression.Zheng Yicheng knew that he must have misunderstood, thinking that he had done something wrong to Yang Bangjie, but this was actually unnecessary and he didn't know how to explain it to Lin Zu.Just as the two of them stood at the door without embarrassment, Hou Shi had already sent a servant to invite Zheng Yicheng to talk.
Hou Chi's voice was bright and cheerful, and he asked with a spring breeze, "Brother Zixin, did you sleep well?"
Zheng Yicheng cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I was drunk yesterday, of course I slept soundly."
The two couldn't help exchanging pleasantries, Hou Chi ordered his family to bring some snacks, and asked Zheng Yicheng to use the court food.After the dishes were arranged, Hou Chi told his family to leave, pulled Zheng Yicheng and asked in a low voice, "I see that brother Zixin seemed to be dissatisfied yesterday. Could it be that he was wronged behind the scenes?"
Zheng Yicheng felt vigilant, and smiled lightly, "Where is this, it's just that I drank too much wine and lost my feelings for a while."
Hou Shi took his hand and said eagerly, "Brother Zixin and I hit it off immediately, and I also heard that brother Zixin broke the Nanyak deeds. In my opinion, brother Zixin's achievements like this should really be worshiped as a prince. I don't want to General Yang failed to get the reward, and the subordinates suffered accordingly, even I feel wronged for brother Zixin."
Zheng Yicheng said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to the king's favor, not to mention that Yicheng is for the people of Dashu, not for personal honor and disgrace." When he said this, Zheng Yicheng couldn't help being startled secretly, it turned out that the competition among the princes has already reached this point!Not only Yang Bangjie was recruited, but even himself was recruited.
I heard Hou Shi continue to say, "This is not a matter of personal honor or disgrace, but only with a position and status can I be able to implement my wish to stabilize the country and stabilize the country. You shouldn't be a subordinate. Now the prince is benevolent and wise, and he is happy to make friends with scholars from all walks of life. If brother Zixin is willing, I can write a book and recommend it on his behalf. In the future, he will inherit the great rule. Brother Zixin, as the old man of the Eastern Palace, You can do something for yourself.”
Unexpectedly, it was the crown prince who instructed Hou Shi to poach the corner, Zheng Yicheng was secretly surprised.He declined and said, "Brother Dingheng's kindness, my younger brother appreciates it. General Yang has been kind to me, Yicheng has no other ideas. He lost his composure yesterday because he really drank too much."
Seeing this, Hou Chi tactfully stopped the topic and started chatting seemingly endlessly.Hou Chi first talked about the current situation of several literati and celebrities in the state, and then turned the topic to the rulers of Kuizhou from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, Eastern Qi Dynasty to today's Great Shu.
Hou Chi said with emotion, "In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, people taught martial arts and culture, and rested with the people. It was a scene of peace and governance. It's a pity that martial arts were not enough to protect the world. After that, the Western Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Qi Dynasty were all ruled by warriors, and taxes increased day by day. , there are very few people who can show compassion to the people, and those who can restrain the troops from disturbing the people are considered sages, let alone enlightened by ritual and music.”
When Zheng Yicheng heard his motherland's evaluation, he couldn't help saying sadly, "My late emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was concerned about the people's repeated military disasters and life hardships, so he punished lightly and paid less taxes. As a result, tax revenue decreased, so naturally he couldn't afford to support too many soldiers. The treatment is not very good. The country is in crisis, and the officials do not want to be loyal, and the wind turns the rudder, but it is unexpected."
Hou Shi said, "Brother Zixin, don't be too sad. Destiny has its own decree. In my opinion, Dashu is well governed and the country is prosperous and strong. It is indeed destiny. Although martial arts are valued today, but It is rare for the prince to like literature and art. After winning the world immediately, it is the opportunity for me to wait for the scholars to display it."
Zheng Yicheng has been with the military brigade for a long time, and he has seen it thoroughly. He knows that although the national strength of Dashu is not bad, there is still a long way to go before the unification of the world.If at this time cutting down the vassal and paying attention to literature and art, it is an ideal of abandoning the basics and chasing the end, and Chen Yi is too high.He didn't bother to debate, so he said goodbye and returned to camp after some entertainment.
On the way back, the pair of soldiers naturally followed behind, but the way they looked at Zheng Yicheng was a bit more complicated.A few loyal to Yang Bangjie discussed loudly in the team.
I heard a soldier say loudly, "Brother, why haven't you been seen in Xiangwu County for the past two days?"
The other replied even louder, "What can I do in the county town if I don't go to brothels? I'm usually in charge of things in the camp. I'm panicked, so of course I have to vent it."
"Are you not afraid that your wife will know?"
"Men! Which one doesn't prostitute? The kind of scholar who looks refined and talks about poetry, likes to call prostitutes in the name of poetry or literary associations. Whores are prostitutes! They say so much and do so much." What? No one lied to his wife, and let others worry about him, how could he know that this man was having a good time outside. "
Zheng Yicheng didn't know that they were talking about himself, and when he wanted to defend himself, he was worried that his cousin would be used as a talk by these Qiu Ba, so he had to endure it.His face turned pale with anger, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the snow shadow flew up like a shooting star chasing the moon, and immediately pulled a long distance away from the rear team.Lin Zu and others tried their best to catch up, but the horses were not as strong as Xue Ying, and the rest of the infantry fell far behind.
Zheng Yicheng rode quickly to an unknown hilly mountain road, and then slowed down. He also knew that in the wilderness, he was most afraid of encountering some kind of bandits.Although he hated these unrestrained personal soldiers, he didn't want to take his own safety as a trifling matter, so he took the reins and waited for everyone to catch up.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was an accident, about seventy or eighty soldiers jumped out of the mountains, forests and grass.But those eyes were all like hungry wolves, rushing directly at Zheng Yicheng.Someone else yelled, "That's him! The bounty is [-] guan for capturing alive! Don't kill him, only [-] guan of money will be left after death!"
Zheng Yicheng didn't realize it for a moment, thinking that he must have caught the wrong person.But someone shouted again, "Catch this guy and avenge our country's [-] troops!!!!" Before he could finish speaking, he saw a net rope aimed at Zheng Yicheng and threw it from the air.
Zheng Yicheng quickly took out his dagger, cut through the rope two or three times, and immediately turned Xueying back to the way he came.It's just that there was a delay, and the distance to those Southern Yak soldiers was only a few steps away.Seeing that the knife and stick were about to greet him, Zheng Yicheng was almost stunned, but the snow shadow seemed to be spiritual, speeding up, protecting his master and running wildly, and finally opened the distance of the pursuers.
Zheng Yicheng was panicked all the way, thinking in his heart that something was wrong, how long will it take before he meets Lin Zu and the others?He also wondered how the remnant soldiers of the Southern Yak would get into the territory of the Great Shu?He actually became the person who was offered a reward by Nanyak!If he knew that he was offered a bounty by Nanyak, Zheng Yicheng would never go without any weapons, so he would act alone in a fit of anger.
A small number of soldiers on horseback chased after him, and some people drew their bows and arrows and were about to shoot, shouting loudly, "Kill this guy! I am willing to buy his life with five hundred guan!"
"I want to live! Don't act recklessly!" Luckily, the fellow coveted the bounty and stopped that one, otherwise Zheng Yicheng would not be able to escape safely no matter what he said.
Zheng Yicheng ran desperately on the snow shadow, and after an unknown amount of time, Lin Zu suddenly led the soldiers, jumped out of the grass, and shouted, "Kill!" on the ground.
It turned out that Lin Zu saw Zheng Yicheng being chased by a group of soldiers from a distance, so he had to say to his comrades, "Let's save the man first, and we don't care about other things. If something happens to Mr. Zheng, the general will blame him in the future. Everyone They're all about to lose their heads."
Everyone thought about it, and nodded in agreement. After all, according to Yang Bangjie's inwardly fearful personality, if he knew that Zheng Yicheng was living in prostitution, he might have passed his nose.As long as Zheng Yicheng didn't take that girl back to the camp, everything would be fine.
It's just that the only ones on both sides who can catch up with Zheng Yicheng are cavalry, and the large group of people are still chasing hard from behind.Lin Zu asked Zheng Yicheng to retreat first, and led his men to stop Nan Ya's pursuers.
Zheng Yicheng knew that his skills were low, and he was just getting in the way here, so he didn't give way, so he retreated to the rear.At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell off the horse.

(45) Suspicious ghosts
It turned out that the remnants of the southern yak wanted to capture Zheng Yicheng alive, so they were reluctant to use arrows for a long time. Now the situation has changed suddenly. Even if he is killed, the bounty will be reduced by [-] guan, but it is better than not getting a dime at all.
Zheng Yicheng immediately understood their mentality, knowing that if he turned around and fled, he would be shot to death by random arrows in the end, he endured the severe pain and got off his horse, and hid in the army.
"Borrow a bow and arrow!" Zheng Yicheng snatched a pair of bows and arrows from his own soldiers, aimed at the remnants of the Southern Yak soldiers holding the bows, and drew a full bow. The arrows flew like shooting stars, and the remnants of the Southern Yak soldiers fell to the ground in response.Zheng Yicheng was full of energy, and then he released another arrow, he raised the arrow and galloped away, within a few breaths, he had already shot ten arrows, and all the arrows were fired.
Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Zheng Yicheng, a frail scholar, would have the strength to fight back after being hit by an arrow, and they all froze on the spot.After he shot ten arrows in a row, everyone came back to their senses.The Southern Yak soldiers thought it was an easy pursuit, a simple matter, but they didn't expect that there would be casualties. They didn't have any thoughts of fighting. Seeing that the situation was not good, they all turned around and ran away.
Lin Zu only had a few soldiers around him, so it was not easy to leave Zheng Yicheng alone, so he had to let them escape.Seeing that the enemy was gone, Zheng Yicheng relaxed and fainted immediately.The soldiers were all terrified. At first they were surprised that Zheng Yicheng suddenly became brave, but now they realized that he is still a weak literati after all, how could he stand up to such a battle.
Everyone rushed to do some emergency treatment for him, carried him to the post station, and called a doctor for emergency treatment.At this time, the laggard soldiers joined Zhongren, and they were all dumbfounded when they heard that Zheng Yicheng was injured.
While Zheng Yicheng was in a coma and the doctors were taking care of him, several soldiers approached Lin Zu and asked, "Boss, is General Yang really going to chop off our heads?"
The other said displeasedly, "Can we blame us for this? He rode a fast horse and rushed ahead, so he ran into those soldiers."
Lin Zu lowered his voice and said to scare off the soldiers, "When have you seen General Yang beheading people because of this kind of accident? Those words are meant to be heard by Mr. Zheng, otherwise would he let us follow him?" ? You guys don't think about it.」
Those soldiers listened, but kept silent, thinking that Yang Bangjie treated Zheng Yicheng with so much care, but that guy was behind Yang Bangjie's back.There was an accident in the rampage, and it turned out that he was the unlucky one. This is unreasonable no matter how you look at it!Those soldiers were afraid that Yang Bangjie would blame him in the future, so they couldn't help feeling resentful.
Zheng Yicheng didn't think about what the subordinates were thinking, after waking up, he just said to Lin Zu, "Yicheng is fine, all brothers have worked hard, please rest now!"
Seeing that Lin Zu hesitated for a long time, he remembered what everyone was concerned about. He couldn't help but comfort Lin Zu and said, "This matter happened because of sincerity. It was unexpected that Nan Yak offered a reward to me. Brothers guard Put your heart into it, I believe General Yang will not blame you, Yicheng can guarantee this."
Hearing what he said, Lin Zu finally breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words, and rushed out to tell his brothers.
Seeing Lin Zu's reaction, Zheng Yicheng silently added in his heart that he had to see Yang Bangjie's reasons.He sighed softly, laughed secretly at his weakness, and made these excuses, to put it bluntly, couldn't he let Yang Bangjie go?He obviously planned to sacrifice their relationship with each other because of political considerations, so why did he still think about him?A wave of tiredness surged up, Zheng Yicheng was too lazy to think about anything, and fell asleep as before.
Zheng Yicheng developed a low-grade fever at night, Lin Zu and the team deputy took turns to take care of him, and he heard him whispering in his dream, calling "Meng Xuan" incessantly.Knowing that he has sincere affection for Yang Bangjie, he didn't bother to care about the romantic crimes of that idea.
The group rested in the inn for several days, and rushed back to the camp when Zheng Yicheng's leg injury was more stable.This time Lin Zu was extremely cautious, he formed a square formation when marching, and kept on guard at all times.
Those stray soldiers in the southern yak were greedy for life and afraid of death. They survived on the battlefield and didn't want to return to the army to die, so they scattered here and there.This time everyone marched forward in formation, the group of soldiers did not dare to hit the stone with their eggs, and they disappeared immediately.
Everyone went safe and sound all the way, back to the camp, Huo Zhiping and Yang Bangjie were still away from the expedition, but Linghutu got the news and brought the military doctor to inquire.
Linghu Tu looked at the wound on Zheng Yicheng's leg, frowned and said, "Didn't General Zhuangwu ask you to take a team of soldiers out? As a result, they were unharmed, but you yourself were injured."
"It's not their fault, it's all my fault for not being cautious enough to let those soldiers take advantage of it. It's just that I didn't expect that Nan Yak would know about me and offer a reward." Zheng Yicheng got up from the couch when he saw that it was Linghu Tu who came to visit. , Linghutu held him down and asked Zheng Yicheng to sit down.
Linghutu said, "You have become famous in one battle, so it is impossible to hide behind the scenes like before. And they killed 10 people at one time, and if they didn't do anything, they couldn't explain to the people. After all the calculations, it's up to you I'm on him." He sighed a long time, "I didn't think too much, I just thought it was in Kuizhou, and I didn't expect that there would be soldiers mixed in. I have notified the county government in the prefecture to strictly control the entry and exit personnel. Be more cautious when going in and out in the future, so you don’t have to worry about someone raiding you again.”
Zheng Yicheng was weak after his injury, and nodded his head in agreement, "Mr. Lao, don't worry about it. Apart from handling military affairs, you also need to take care of Yicheng's safety."
Linghutu couldn't help complaining and said, "Don't be polite to me, take care of yourself early, I'm still waiting for your help. That guy still regards himself as a young man, and he doesn't care about the government affairs in the town. Leading the army to go out, how can the few of us be so busy?"
Hearing Linghutu's complaints, Zheng Yicheng deduced that they were reconciled, and said with a smile, "General Huo trusted Mr., so he entrusted the government affairs of the three towns to him. Mr. is highly intelligent, thoughtful, and won Everyone trusts..."
Linghutu waved his hands and said, "Don't praise me. It's because after a few years, I got used to it, but I still can't let go. Actually, you and I know what's going on." After finishing speaking, there was a burst of sad.
Zheng Yicheng supported himself strongly, "Mr. Nanze, let Rong Yicheng take the liberty to ask."
Seeing his strong appearance, Linghu Tu couldn't help persuading him, "Zixin ask! I see that you are frowning and depressed, and I'm afraid it's not good for your recovery. It's better to be open-minded about everything."
Zheng Yicheng asked, "Yicheng heard that General Yang is going to marry Wei Zhongjiedushi, is the rumor true?"
Linghutu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zheng Yicheng to encounter such a thing, he frowned and said, "Zixin, you should know that I avoid seeing him, even if we have to discuss something, we won't say anything. I heard Wei Zhong sent an envoy, he didn't let me know what the content of the meeting was, and I didn't bother to ask."
Seeing Linghutu's disappointed look, Zheng Yicheng realized that Linghutu had not forgiven him yet, so he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Nanze has been assisting General Huo for so many years, how did you resolve such bad things?"
Linghutu squinted his eyes, seeing that Zheng Yicheng's scalp was numb, and then said slowly, "In everything, the common people in the world should be in mind, and don't stick to the personal relationship of your children. The heart of gains and losses will naturally be lighter."
Zheng Yicheng sighed and said, "It's easy to say, but in fact, the hurdle in my heart is hard to overcome. In the end, it's like throwing some sand and dirt on my eyes and deceiving myself."
Linghu Tu looked at him, and said meaningfully, "Zixin, look carefully, 'If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night?'"
Zheng Yicheng knew that Linghutu was also a sad person, and he didn't want to be comforted by him, so he couldn't help saying apologetically, "Yicheng knows."
The two sat opposite each other for a while, then Linghutu left.
A few days later, Huo Zhiping, Yang Bangjie and others finally returned in victory. As soon as Yang Bangjie arrived at Xingyuan, he changed his face when he heard that Zheng Yicheng was attacked and injured by the Nan Yak.
"Didn't I tell you to follow Mr. Zheng every step of the way? How could something happen?" Yang Bangjie said, and rushed to visit Zheng Yicheng. Before leaving, he said, "You wait first, come back and wait for me to deal with it."
After saying that, he walked towards Zheng Yicheng's camp, Lin Zu didn't say anything, just stood upright with his hands folded aside, and a few other soldiers who were afraid of being punished chased after him, "General, please stay!"
When Yang Bangjie saw that it was the group of soldiers guarding Zheng Yicheng, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's wrong?"
"General, this accident is not because the brothers are careless, but... but..."
Yang Bangjie was in a hurry to visit Zheng Yicheng, and he didn't want to waste a moment at all. He said in a deep voice, "What is it? Say something quickly! I don't have the time to wait for you to hesitate!"
A soldier summoned up his courage and said, "That was a gathering for what they were doing. Many girls were called to stay overnight, and Mr. Zheng didn't refuse. We couldn't be more angry. Thinking that the general was killing the enemy first, he actually went to whore behind the general's back. I couldn't help mocking him a few words, he couldn't save face, and ran ahead by himself, only to be attacked by the Southern Yak soldiers."
Yang Bangjie's face became even more ugly after hearing this, and he scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, why would Mr. Zheng go to whoring behind my back!"
Several soldiers said in unison, "How dare we slander him, the boss even saw him enter the room with the girl with his own eyes, isn't this whore or what?"
Yang Bangjie said with a cold face, "I'll ask him myself, don't spread the word!" Seeing that Yang Bangjie's focus was shifted to prostitution, several soldiers stopped talking and waited to see the good show.
Yang Bangjie was troubled. In fact, when he and his ex-wife were at odds, he often spent time with Wang Li outside. It was because Zheng Yicheng was with him later that he calmed down.He always regarded Zheng Yicheng as his wife, never thought that he would be like ordinary men, who would be promiscuous outside.Want to get angry with him, but he got hurt again; don't care about him, but feel sad in my heart.
Yang Bangjie hesitated for a long time, finally opened the tent, stepped in, forced a smile and said, "Zixin, I heard you were injured, how is the injury?"
Zheng Yicheng's lips were bloodless, even though it was already Jichun, he was still wearing a heavy cotton robe lying on the couch, looking very haggard.Seeing his disgusted appearance, Yang Bangjie's suffocation suddenly turned into a puddle of spring water, and his heart was filled with pity, and his whole heart was almost pulled up.
Zheng Yicheng pointed to his chest and said calmly, "A little leg injury is not a problem, the injury here is the real problem."
Seeing him like this, Yang Bangjie couldn't help asking in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Yicheng asked coldly, "Let me ask you, you want to marry Wei Zhongjiedushi, but there is?"
Yang Bangjie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled calmly, "It's true."
☆, (46) Desperation and Confluence - Loyal Dog Gong Gentle Restricted (Restricted)
(46) Freezing and sinking will come naturally
How much Zheng Yicheng hoped to hear a negative answer from Yang Bangjie.Unexpectedly, he replied with a smile as if nothing happened, "It is true."
Zheng Yicheng lost his temper, and regardless of the injury on his leg, he got out of bed and was about to leave, "Whoever said that he wants to be the same as the eyebrows, so that the same mistakes will not be repeated, and the result is not that there is a new person and the old person is forgotten..."
Yang Bangjie stopped Zheng Yicheng from the waist, and hugged him full of arms, "Are you angry because of this, that's why you're promiscuous outside?"
Zheng Yicheng poked Yang Bangjie's chest resentfully and said, "Do you have the right to say that about me? I believed you in vain..."
"Zixin!" Yang Bangjie grabbed Zheng Yicheng's hand and pushed him back on the couch and said, "I have agreed to marry Wei Zhongjiedushi, but I am not the one who wants to get married."
Zheng Yicheng was dumbfounded, confused for a while, Na Na asked, "Who else is it if it's not you?"
"My son!" Yang Bangjie said, "My Abao will marry the daughter of Wei Zhongjiedushi in the future. His daughter just passed the full moon not long ago, so he sent someone to propose marriage. I don't think it's a big deal, and I'm not in a hurry. Let me explain to you, I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
Halfway through Zheng Yicheng's hearing, he wished he could dig a hole in the ground immediately. It turned out that Yang Bangjie never betrayed him, and it was all because of his own bad intentions.Who is Yang Bangjie's unexpected son, who was raised by a wet nurse at home in Beijing, Zheng Yicheng had never even met him before, so how could he think that someone would marry that three-year-old child.He was buried in Yang Bangjie's arms, so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head.
Yang Bangjie refused to let him go, avoiding Zheng Yicheng's calf injury, pushed him back on the couch, covered him with his whole body and asked, "Tell me, why did you go to a prostitute after participating in an elegant fair?
Lu Hui laughed and said, "Mr. Zheng and I just said that although the music played across the bank is elegant, it can't be heard clearly when there are too many people. How about..." Lu Hui and Hou Shi glanced at it and laughed.
According to Hou Chi's words, he placed the singing girl among the seats, and Lu Hui also led a gorgeous singing girl back to his seat.Zheng Yicheng was full of worries, and was thinking about how to get out, but saw a singing girl holding a jiegu, who seemed to have a kind face, and couldn't help but look carefully.Hou Chi also said that Zheng Yicheng was interested in the singing girl, so he specially placed her on Zheng Yicheng's table.
When the singing girl sat at the table, Zheng Yicheng saw that the singing girl's behavior and appearance were far from the person in his heart, so he stopped thinking about it.He kept silent, holding the white porcelain wine jug with carved flowers on the case, and was about to drink.The geisha immediately took the jug, poured wine for him and said, "Young Master, why don't you do this kind of thing, let Shulan do it for you!"
Zheng Yicheng took the wine glass, feeling a mess in his heart, how could he foolishly believe Yang Bangjie's rhetoric?Saying that you don't want to marry again, you just want the two of you to stay together, raise your eyebrows, and speak earnestly, as if you were telling the truth.Before he had a heart-to-heart relationship with him, he was so diligent in coaxing others, but now that he has devoted his heart and soul to him, he actually agreed to marry Wei Zhongjiedu without telling himself, would he want to repeat Linghutu's mistakes?
Zheng Yicheng summoned Lin Zu and asked, "A while ago, was there an emissary from Wei Zhonglai?"
Standing by the side, Lin Zu could hear clearly, so he could only say, "Sir, why don't you wait until you go back and ask General Yang before you talk, just listening to these gossips will not disturb your mind."
Zheng Yicheng pressed himself to ask, and refused to give up, "Sure enough, there is an envoy from Wei Zhong coming, but you still refuse to let me know, right?"
Lin Zu still didn't let go, and tried to persuade, "Mr. Zheng, don't think too much. If it really happened, how could you not let him know?"
Hearing that Lin Zu refused to answer directly, Zheng Yicheng knew that there really was an envoy from Wei Zhong visiting, and the feeling of being deceived by Yang Bangjie became stronger.He was sore in his heart, and drank a few cups sullenly, and the feeling of wine welled up, and he was full of sourness, but there was no way to vent it.Feeling depressed for a while, he took the Jiegu from the singing girl and sang loudly:
Those who abandon me shall not stay yesterday.
Those who disturb my heart are so troubled today.
Changfeng Wanli sent Qiuyan, which can be a tall building.
Penglai's article was Jian'an Bone, and the middle Xie was clear again.
I want to fly in the blue sky and see the moon.
It's even more worrying to cut off the water with a knife, and it's even more worrying to lift a toast.
Life is unsatisfactory in the world, the Ming Dynasty distributes flat boats.
The singing voice was heroic and unrestrained, and everyone was laughing. When Zheng Yicheng sang, they all held their breath and listened intently.In this troubled world, most of the talented people are underappreciated. After hearing about it and thinking about their personal encounters, some of you here can't help covering your faces and sighing.At the end of the song, everyone was silent for a while, and then they suddenly praised it.
Hou Shi asked people to come over with three wine glasses and laughed, "Brother Zixin, why did you sing such a sad note? It's a festive festival, and it made everyone feel sad. This is a punishment for drinking."
Zheng Yicheng didn't shirk, and said with a forced smile, "My younger brother lost his love for a while and made everyone feel sad. It is indeed my fault. Although I am shallow, now I have to risk my life to accompany the gentleman." He drank three glasses in a row.
Hou Chi urged Yuan Xi to be an officer, to pass the order of beating drums, but he himself sat down beside Zheng Yicheng, and said in a low voice, "I have prepared a few guest rooms. If brother Zixin is not feeling well, you might as well take a rest. If there is nothing urgent, It’s okay to stay in the humble house for a few days.”
It's always been the case that everyone gets drunk if they don't get drunk, not to mention that Zheng Yicheng is now "toasting to relieve worries and worries", he has long been dizzy from drinking.Hearing what Hou Chi said kindly, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm bothering you like this." He was about to get up as he said that, but he didn't want to stagger and stand unsteadily.
Hou Chi hurriedly ordered the maid to go to the wing, and said to Shulan, "Miss, would you like to help Mr. Zheng change?" Shulan nodded slightly, and followed Zheng Yicheng into the wing.
Zheng Yicheng was still a little awake, seeing Shulan help him take off his boots, and was about to take off his coat, he said quickly, "Don't bother me, let Yicheng do it by himself!" Seeing that Shulan's face turned red and blue for a long time Can't say a word.
Zheng Yicheng was still drunk at first, but seeing Shulan's thoughts fluttered like this, he asked softly, "You...are you Yaomei?"
That Shulan gritted her teeth, turned her head away and said in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, I've been wondering if it's you just now, but I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't recognize it, and I don't dare to be presumptuous. I don't think it's really you! Now you Developed, but I..." Before finishing the sentence, I have already cried until a branch of pear blossoms brings rain in spring.
Zheng Yicheng saw that the person in front of him was indeed his cousin Xiao Qingyao, the feeling of confusion in his head disappeared, and he said softly, "Brother Wei's current situation is not as beautiful as you think."
Xiao Qingyao also said that Zheng Yicheng was making excuses, frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Nowadays, there are discussions in restaurants and teahouses. Zheng Caizi broke through Nanyak, based on Li Bai's wonderful pen, Liu Bei's visit to the thatched cottage, Sun Wu training soldiers and killing concubine, and all kinds of allusions. Say Zhuge is reborn, but you say you have no ambitions? Could it be that you have belittled me and refused to help?"
Seeing her anger, Zheng Yicheng said patiently, "Sister Yao, you all know that it's a street talk, how can you believe it? Even though I'm General Yang's staff, I'm still dependent on others. It’s just a high-ranking official position. If it’s really as amazing as Zhuge Wuhou, he would have been appointed a general and a marquis long ago.”
When Zheng Yicheng mentioned Yang Bangjie, he felt lost, and couldn't hide his resentment and resentment.Seeing his expression, Xiao Qingyao really described it as downcast and frustrated, she couldn't help but bow her head and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I have endured all these years, and finally met a relative, and I forgot about it for a while."
Seeing her calm down, Zheng Yicheng asked, "Are you living in this Marquis' mansion now, or somewhere else?"
Xiao Qingyao wiped her eyes and said, "I'm in Yinyuelou today. Brother Cheng, if it's convenient, you can redeem me and go out as soon as possible." Although Yinyuelou is famous locally, it can only be regarded as a second-class brothel. Waiting for the pheasants to suffer, but it is still necessary to do some prostitution.
Zheng Yicheng asked compassionately, "How much is the ransom, do you know?"
Xiao Qingyao sighed and said, "Nurse said she wanted 150 guan, now I have saved 350 guan, but I still have [-] guan not enough."
Zheng Yicheng gasped and said, "350 guan! I will try my best to get it."
Although Yang Bangjie entrusted him to take care of all his own money, he couldn't help but exchange gifts, but at this time Zheng Yicheng didn't want to use these properties at all.As for the meat and gold from working as prostitutes, all the troops took it away, and the gifts from benefactors were mostly clothes and books, which were not worth much.Now Zheng Yicheng's monthly salary is only 350 yuan, how can he get together the [-] yuan?
Xiao Qingyao had seen many times, and she could see that Zheng Yicheng was troubled. She said softly, "Brother Cheng, if you don't get the money, don't force it. I'll make the money slowly, and I can always redeem myself."
Zheng Yicheng felt ashamed in his heart, discussing with Yang Bangjie was a simple matter, how could he let his cousin be ruined by others just because of his whim?
He reluctantly said, "It's not difficult, but I have to discuss it with others. Just wait, and I will try to redeem you as soon as possible." Then he asked, "What happened to the family? How did you end up here? I remember When my uncle returned to the Western Wei Dynasty, he served as an official according to his original position!"
Xiao Qingyao said, "I don't remember very clearly what happened when I was young. I heard that my father committed an offense. Many soldiers came to the house, ransacking the house and arresting people. When mother heard what kind of wives and daughters she wanted to sell, she ran into a wall in a hurry. Let’s go, I didn’t understand at the time, and I still blamed my mother for leaving us brothers and sisters alone, but now I understand, it’s too late...” After speaking, she wiped away tears, most of the makeup on her face was worn out by crying.
Zheng Yicheng took out a sweat towel to let her wipe away her tears, and asked for a clear water dressing table for Xiao Qingyao to do her makeup.Zheng Yicheng was used to serving Yang Bangjie on weekdays, so he didn't think there was anything wrong; Xiao Qingyao thought there was something wrong when seeing his cousin so attentive.She rolled up her sleeves, washed them with clean water, repainted the mirror, but kept looking at Zheng Yicheng.
But seeing that he is tall and slender, with clear eyebrows, a little melancholy locked between his brows, he looks extraordinarily stable and mature, and he is dressed in ai green Shu brocade bamboo leaf pattern, which sets off his graceful demeanor, as high as a green bamboo.Thinking back to Zheng Yicheng who was at the table just now, letting his talents do his best, he couldn't help secretly feeling admiration.
Xiao Qingyao dabbed the rouge lightly, re-cut her hair bun, put golden emerald flowers on the hairpin, and shouted in a low voice, "Brother Cheng..."
Zheng Yicheng turned his head to look, and felt the fragrance in front of his eyes, Xiao Qingyao's face was like a peach blossom, her body was covered with goose-yellow double-breasted tulle and rose-red ribbons, only a piece of pomegranate myrobalan half-covered her breasts, and nothing else.The lower body is a long skirt with glazed yellow flowers, and a brocade belt is tied high around the waist.The little girl who used to wear her horns is now slim and graceful, like an apricot flower in full bloom in spring.
Xiao Qingyao leaned over and asked softly, "Brother Cheng, why are you so sad? Now that we meet again, we should be happy. If you have the heart, we... we should continue the incense of Zheng and Xiao's family..." Xiao Qingyao After finishing speaking, her cheeks were flushed, three points better than a peach blossom.
☆, (44) Storms on the ground - Loyal Dog Gong Gentle Shou Junwen War
(44) Storms on the ground
"If you have the heart, we...we should renew the incense of Zheng and Xiao's family..."
There was a gust of fragrant wind, warm jade in his arms, Zheng Yicheng couldn't help but be moved by it.He kept his mind on his mind, took two steps back and said, "I already have a lover..." After saying this, he thought that Yang Bangjie planned to marry another without telling him, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
Xiao Qingyao observed her words and expressions, and didn't ask any further questions, but instead said with relief, "Brother Cheng, don't worry about that girl. It is said that there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, why bother to fall in love with a single flower, just look at it."
Zheng Yicheng was said to be the center of the matter, so he couldn't help but blushed and said, "You don't understand anything, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao Qingyao pursed her lips and snickered, "Seeing that you sigh when you talk about your sweetheart, isn't it because you are suffering from love and using wine to drown your sorrows? I have seen this kind of guests a lot, and the expression is exactly the same as yours."
"Say something else, or I'm going to sleep." Zheng Yicheng said and sat down on the edge of the bed unsteadily, put on his boots, apparently wanted to escape, and asked for another room to rest.
Xiao Qingyao was amused by Zheng Yicheng's clumsy appearance, she couldn't help smiling, full of charm, "Brother Cheng, you just drank a lot, why bother yourself like this, just rest on this bed! Squint for a while, I'll wait That's it."
Zheng Yicheng is also a person who has experienced a lot. For some reason, when facing Xiao Qingyao, he seemed quite raw, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond, "This..."
Seeing him like that, Xiao Qingyao immediately understood, and said calmly, "I know, we are alone in the same room, you are afraid that you will be called a prostitute and let the girl eat, so I will just avoid it." At this time She was a little curious about that cousin's favorite person. She didn't know which girl could win the favor of Zheng Dacai.
Zheng Yicheng can understand the pain of being sent and greeted very well. Even though he was worried, he still said, "You stay here, I will sleep on the floor, and you will sleep on the couch. If it is because of me that you have to pick up guests when you go back, isn't that right?" I suffered an extra crime for no reason.”
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Hou paid the price for both the day and the night game. If he asks, I have my own answer."
After Xiao Qingyao finished speaking, she opened the door and went out, leaving Zheng Yicheng alone in the room.Zheng Yicheng's heart relaxed, the feeling of alcohol welled up, he fell asleep and didn't know Dongfang was white.
Waking up the next day, Lin Zu looked at Zheng Yicheng with an indescribably strange expression.Zheng Yicheng knew that he must have misunderstood, thinking that he had done something wrong to Yang Bangjie, but this was actually unnecessary and he didn't know how to explain it to Lin Zu.Just as the two of them stood at the door without embarrassment, Hou Shi had already sent a servant to invite Zheng Yicheng to talk.
Hou Chi's voice was bright and cheerful, and he asked with a spring breeze, "Brother Zixin, did you sleep well?"
Zheng Yicheng cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I was drunk yesterday, of course I slept soundly."
The two couldn't help exchanging pleasantries, Hou Chi ordered his family to bring some snacks, and asked Zheng Yicheng to use the court food.After the dishes were arranged, Hou Chi told his family to leave, pulled Zheng Yicheng and asked in a low voice, "I see that brother Zixin seemed to be dissatisfied yesterday. Could it be that he was wronged behind the scenes?"
Zheng Yicheng felt vigilant, and smiled lightly, "Where is this, it's just that I drank too much wine and lost my feelings for a while."
Hou Shi took his hand and said eagerly, "Brother Zixin and I hit it off immediately, and I also heard that brother Zixin broke the Nanyak deeds. In my opinion, brother Zixin's achievements like this should really be worshiped as a prince. I don't want to General Yang failed to get the reward, and the subordinates suffered accordingly, even I feel wronged for brother Zixin."
Zheng Yicheng said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to the king's favor, not to mention that Yicheng is for the people of Dashu, not for personal honor and disgrace." When he said this, Zheng Yicheng couldn't help being startled secretly, it turned out that the competition among the princes has already reached this point!Not only Yang Bangjie was recruited, but even himself was recruited.
I heard Hou Shi continue to say, "This is not a matter of personal honor or disgrace, but only with a position and status can I be able to implement my wish to stabilize the country and stabilize the country. You shouldn't be a subordinate. Now the prince is benevolent and wise, and he is happy to make friends with scholars from all walks of life. If brother Zixin is willing, I can write a book and recommend it on his behalf. In the future, he will inherit the great rule. Brother Zixin, as the old man of the Eastern Palace, You can do something for yourself.”
Unexpectedly, it was the crown prince who instructed Hou Shi to poach the corner, Zheng Yicheng was secretly surprised.He declined and said, "Brother Dingheng's kindness, my younger brother appreciates it. General Yang has been kind to me, Yicheng has no other ideas. He lost his composure yesterday because he really drank too much."
Seeing this, Hou Chi tactfully stopped the topic and started chatting seemingly endlessly.Hou Chi first talked about the current situation of several literati and celebrities in the state, and then turned the topic to the rulers of Kuizhou from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, Eastern Qi Dynasty to today's Great Shu.
Hou Chi said with emotion, "In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, people taught martial arts and culture, and rested with the people. It was a scene of peace and governance. It's a pity that martial arts were not enough to protect the world. After that, the Western Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Qi Dynasty were all ruled by warriors, and taxes increased day by day. , there are very few people who can show compassion to the people, and those who can restrain the troops from disturbing the people are considered sages, let alone enlightened by ritual and music.”
When Zheng Yicheng heard his motherland's evaluation, he couldn't help saying sadly, "My late emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was concerned about the people's repeated military disasters and life hardships, so he punished lightly and paid less taxes. As a result, tax revenue decreased, so naturally he couldn't afford to support too many soldiers. The treatment is not very good. The country is in crisis, and the officials do not want to be loyal, and the wind turns the rudder, but it is unexpected."
Hou Shi said, "Brother Zixin, don't be too sad. Destiny has its own decree. In my opinion, Dashu is well governed and the country is prosperous and strong. It is indeed destiny. Although martial arts are valued today, but It is rare for the prince to like literature and art. After winning the world immediately, it is the opportunity for me to wait for the scholars to display it."
Zheng Yicheng has been with the military brigade for a long time, and he has seen it thoroughly. He knows that although the national strength of Dashu is not bad, there is still a long way to go before the unification of the world.If at this time cutting down the vassal and paying attention to literature and art, it is an ideal of abandoning the basics and chasing the end, and Chen Yi is too high.He didn't bother to debate, so he said goodbye and returned to camp after some entertainment.
On the way back, the pair of soldiers naturally followed behind, but the way they looked at Zheng Yicheng was a bit more complicated.A few loyal to Yang Bangjie discussed loudly in the team.
I heard a soldier say loudly, "Brother, why haven't you been seen in Xiangwu County for the past two days?"
The other replied even louder, "What can I do in the county town if I don't go to brothels? I'm usually in charge of things in the camp. I'm panicked, so of course I have to vent it."
"Are you not afraid that your wife will know?"
"Men! Which one doesn't prostitute? The kind of scholar who looks refined and talks about poetry, likes to call prostitutes in the name of poetry or literary associations. Whores are prostitutes! They say so much and do so much." What? No one lied to his wife, and let others worry about him, how could he know that this man was having a good time outside. "
Zheng Yicheng didn't know that they were talking about himself, and when he wanted to defend himself, he was worried that his cousin would be used as a talk by these Qiu Ba, so he had to endure it.His face turned pale with anger, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the snow shadow flew up like a shooting star chasing the moon, and immediately pulled a long distance away from the rear team.Lin Zu and others tried their best to catch up, but the horses were not as strong as Xue Ying, and the rest of the infantry fell far behind.
Zheng Yicheng rode quickly to an unknown hilly mountain road, and then slowed down. He also knew that in the wilderness, he was most afraid of encountering some kind of bandits.Although he hated these unrestrained personal soldiers, he didn't want to take his own safety as a trifling matter, so he took the reins and waited for everyone to catch up.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was an accident, about seventy or eighty soldiers jumped out of the mountains, forests and grass.But those eyes were all like hungry wolves, rushing directly at Zheng Yicheng.Someone else yelled, "That's him! The bounty is [-] guan for capturing alive! Don't kill him, only [-] guan of money will be left after death!"
Zheng Yicheng didn't realize it for a moment, thinking that he must have caught the wrong person.But someone shouted again, "Catch this guy and avenge our country's [-] troops!!!!" Before he could finish speaking, he saw a net rope aimed at Zheng Yicheng and threw it from the air.
Zheng Yicheng quickly took out his dagger, cut through the rope two or three times, and immediately turned Xueying back to the way he came.It's just that there was a delay, and the distance to those Southern Yak soldiers was only a few steps away.Seeing that the knife and stick were about to greet him, Zheng Yicheng was almost stunned, but the snow shadow seemed to be spiritual, speeding up, protecting his master and running wildly, and finally opened the distance of the pursuers.
Zheng Yicheng was panicked all the way, thinking in his heart that something was wrong, how long will it take before he meets Lin Zu and the others?He also wondered how the remnant soldiers of the Southern Yak would get into the territory of the Great Shu?He actually became the person who was offered a reward by Nanyak!If he knew that he was offered a bounty by Nanyak, Zheng Yicheng would never go without any weapons, so he would act alone in a fit of anger.
A small number of soldiers on horseback chased after him, and some people drew their bows and arrows and were about to shoot, shouting loudly, "Kill this guy! I am willing to buy his life with five hundred guan!"
"I want to live! Don't act recklessly!" Luckily, the fellow coveted the bounty and stopped that one, otherwise Zheng Yicheng would not be able to escape safely no matter what he said.
Zheng Yicheng ran desperately on the snow shadow, and after an unknown amount of time, Lin Zu suddenly led the soldiers, jumped out of the grass, and shouted, "Kill!" on the ground.
It turned out that Lin Zu saw Zheng Yicheng being chased by a group of soldiers from a distance, so he had to say to his comrades, "Let's save the man first, and we don't care about other things. If something happens to Mr. Zheng, the general will blame him in the future. Everyone They're all about to lose their heads."
Everyone thought about it, and nodded in agreement. After all, according to Yang Bangjie's inwardly fearful personality, if he knew that Zheng Yicheng was living in prostitution, he might have passed his nose.As long as Zheng Yicheng didn't take that girl back to the camp, everything would be fine.
It's just that the only ones on both sides who can catch up with Zheng Yicheng are cavalry, and the large group of people are still chasing hard from behind.Lin Zu asked Zheng Yicheng to retreat first, and led his men to stop Nan Ya's pursuers.
Zheng Yicheng knew that his skills were low, and he was just getting in the way here, so he didn't give way, so he retreated to the rear.At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell off the horse.

(45) Suspicious ghosts
It turned out that the remnants of the southern yak wanted to capture Zheng Yicheng alive, so they were reluctant to use arrows for a long time. Now the situation has changed suddenly. Even if he is killed, the bounty will be reduced by [-] guan, but it is better than not getting a dime at all.
Zheng Yicheng immediately understood their mentality, knowing that if he turned around and fled, he would be shot to death by random arrows in the end, he endured the severe pain and got off his horse, and hid in the army.
"Borrow a bow and arrow!" Zheng Yicheng snatched a pair of bows and arrows from his own soldiers, aimed at the remnants of the Southern Yak soldiers holding the bows, and drew a full bow. The arrows flew like shooting stars, and the remnants of the Southern Yak soldiers fell to the ground in response.Zheng Yicheng was full of energy, and then he released another arrow, he raised the arrow and galloped away, within a few breaths, he had already shot ten arrows, and all the arrows were fired.
Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Zheng Yicheng, a frail scholar, would have the strength to fight back after being hit by an arrow, and they all froze on the spot.After he shot ten arrows in a row, everyone came back to their senses.The Southern Yak soldiers thought it was an easy pursuit, a simple matter, but they didn't expect that there would be casualties. They didn't have any thoughts of fighting. Seeing that the situation was not good, they all turned around and ran away.
Lin Zu only had a few soldiers around him, so it was not easy to leave Zheng Yicheng alone, so he had to let them escape.Seeing that the enemy was gone, Zheng Yicheng relaxed and fainted immediately.The soldiers were all terrified. At first they were surprised that Zheng Yicheng suddenly became brave, but now they realized that he is still a weak literati after all, how could he stand up to such a battle.
Everyone rushed to do some emergency treatment for him, carried him to the post station, and called a doctor for emergency treatment.At this time, the laggard soldiers joined Zhongren, and they were all dumbfounded when they heard that Zheng Yicheng was injured.
While Zheng Yicheng was in a coma and the doctors were taking care of him, several soldiers approached Lin Zu and asked, "Boss, is General Yang really going to chop off our heads?"
The other said displeasedly, "Can we blame us for this? He rode a fast horse and rushed ahead, so he ran into those soldiers."
Lin Zu lowered his voice and said to scare off the soldiers, "When have you seen General Yang beheading people because of this kind of accident? Those words are meant to be heard by Mr. Zheng, otherwise would he let us follow him?" ? You guys don't think about it.」
Those soldiers listened, but kept silent, thinking that Yang Bangjie treated Zheng Yicheng with so much care, but that guy was behind Yang Bangjie's back.There was an accident in the rampage, and it turned out that he was the unlucky one. This is unreasonable no matter how you look at it!Those soldiers were afraid that Yang Bangjie would blame him in the future, so they couldn't help feeling resentful.
Zheng Yicheng didn't think about what the subordinates were thinking, after waking up, he just said to Lin Zu, "Yicheng is fine, all brothers have worked hard, please rest now!"
Seeing that Lin Zu hesitated for a long time, he remembered what everyone was concerned about. He couldn't help but comfort Lin Zu and said, "This matter happened because of sincerity. It was unexpected that Nan Yak offered a reward to me. Brothers guard Put your heart into it, I believe General Yang will not blame you, Yicheng can guarantee this."
Hearing what he said, Lin Zu finally breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words, and rushed out to tell his brothers.
Seeing Lin Zu's reaction, Zheng Yicheng silently added in his heart that he had to see Yang Bangjie's reasons.He sighed softly, laughed secretly at his weakness, and made these excuses, to put it bluntly, couldn't he let Yang Bangjie go?He obviously planned to sacrifice their relationship with each other because of political considerations, so why did he still think about him?A wave of tiredness surged up, Zheng Yicheng was too lazy to think about anything, and fell asleep as before.
Zheng Yicheng developed a low-grade fever at night, Lin Zu and the team deputy took turns to take care of him, and he heard him whispering in his dream, calling "Meng Xuan" incessantly.Knowing that he has sincere affection for Yang Bangjie, he didn't bother to care about the romantic crimes of that idea.
The group rested in the inn for several days, and rushed back to the camp when Zheng Yicheng's leg injury was more stable.This time Lin Zu was extremely cautious, he formed a square formation when marching, and kept on guard at all times.
Those stray soldiers in the southern yak were greedy for life and afraid of death. They survived on the battlefield and didn't want to return to the army to die, so they scattered here and there.This time everyone marched forward in formation, the group of soldiers did not dare to hit the stone with their eggs, and they disappeared immediately.
Everyone went safe and sound all the way, back to the camp, Huo Zhiping and Yang Bangjie were still away from the expedition, but Linghutu got the news and brought the military doctor to inquire.
Linghu Tu looked at the wound on Zheng Yicheng's leg, frowned and said, "Didn't General Zhuangwu ask you to take a team of soldiers out? As a result, they were unharmed, but you yourself were injured."
"It's not their fault, it's all my fault for not being cautious enough to let those soldiers take advantage of it. It's just that I didn't expect that Nan Yak would know about me and offer a reward." Zheng Yicheng got up from the couch when he saw that it was Linghu Tu who came to visit. , Linghutu held him down and asked Zheng Yicheng to sit down.
Linghutu said, "You have become famous in one battle, so it is impossible to hide behind the scenes like before. And they killed 10 people at one time, and if they didn't do anything, they couldn't explain to the people. After all the calculations, it's up to you I'm on him." He sighed a long time, "I didn't think too much, I just thought it was in Kuizhou, and I didn't expect that there would be soldiers mixed in. I have notified the county government in the prefecture to strictly control the entry and exit personnel. Be more cautious when going in and out in the future, so you don’t have to worry about someone raiding you again.”
Zheng Yicheng was weak after his injury, and nodded his head in agreement, "Mr. Lao, don't worry about it. Apart from handling military affairs, you also need to take care of Yicheng's safety."
Linghutu couldn't help complaining and said, "Don't be polite to me, take care of yourself early, I'm still waiting for your help. That guy still regards himself as a young man, and he doesn't care about the government affairs in the town. Leading the army to go out, how can the few of us be so busy?"
Hearing Linghutu's complaints, Zheng Yicheng deduced that they were reconciled, and said with a smile, "General Huo trusted Mr., so he entrusted the government affairs of the three towns to him. Mr. is highly intelligent, thoughtful, and won Everyone trusts..."
Linghutu waved his hands and said, "Don't praise me. It's because after a few years, I got used to it, but I still can't let go. Actually, you and I know what's going on." After finishing speaking, there was a burst of sad.
Zheng Yicheng supported himself strongly, "Mr. Nanze, let Rong Yicheng take the liberty to ask."
Seeing his strong appearance, Linghu Tu couldn't help persuading him, "Zixin ask! I see that you are frowning and depressed, and I'm afraid it's not good for your recovery. It's better to be open-minded about everything."
Zheng Yicheng asked, "Yicheng heard that General Yang is going to marry Wei Zhongjiedushi, is the rumor true?"
Linghutu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zheng Yicheng to encounter such a thing, he frowned and said, "Zixin, you should know that I avoid seeing him, even if we have to discuss something, we won't say anything. I heard Wei Zhong sent an envoy, he didn't let me know what the content of the meeting was, and I didn't bother to ask."
Seeing Linghutu's disappointed look, Zheng Yicheng realized that Linghutu had not forgiven him yet, so he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Nanze has been assisting General Huo for so many years, how did you resolve such bad things?"
Linghutu squinted his eyes, seeing that Zheng Yicheng's scalp was numb, and then said slowly, "In everything, the common people in the world should be in mind, and don't stick to the personal relationship of your children. The heart of gains and losses will naturally be lighter."
Zheng Yicheng sighed and said, "It's easy to say, but in fact, the hurdle in my heart is hard to overcome. In the end, it's like throwing some sand and dirt on my eyes and deceiving myself."
Linghu Tu looked at him, and said meaningfully, "Zixin, look carefully, 'If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night?'"
Zheng Yicheng knew that Linghutu was also a sad person, and he didn't want to be comforted by him, so he couldn't help saying apologetically, "Yicheng knows."
The two sat opposite each other for a while, then Linghutu left.
A few days later, Huo Zhiping, Yang Bangjie and others finally returned in victory. As soon as Yang Bangjie arrived at Xingyuan, he changed his face when he heard that Zheng Yicheng was attacked and injured by the Nan Yak.
"Didn't I tell you to follow Mr. Zheng every step of the way? How could something happen?" Yang Bangjie said, and rushed to visit Zheng Yicheng. Before leaving, he said, "You wait first, come back and wait for me to deal with it."
After saying that, he walked towards Zheng Yicheng's camp, Lin Zu didn't say anything, just stood upright with his hands folded aside, and a few other soldiers who were afraid of being punished chased after him, "General, please stay!"
When Yang Bangjie saw that it was the group of soldiers guarding Zheng Yicheng, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's wrong?"
"General, this accident is not because the brothers are careless, but... but..."
Yang Bangjie was in a hurry to visit Zheng Yicheng, and he didn't want to waste a moment at all. He said in a deep voice, "What is it? Say something quickly! I don't have the time to wait for you to hesitate!"
A soldier summoned up his courage and said, "That was a gathering for what they were doing. Many girls were called to stay overnight, and Mr. Zheng didn't refuse. We couldn't be more angry. Thinking that the general was killing the enemy first, he actually went to whore behind the general's back. I couldn't help mocking him a few words, he couldn't save face, and ran ahead by himself, only to be attacked by the Southern Yak soldiers."
Yang Bangjie's face became even more ugly after hearing this, and he scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, why would Mr. Zheng go to whoring behind my back!"
Several soldiers said in unison, "How dare we slander him, the boss even saw him enter the room with the girl with his own eyes, isn't this whore or what?"
Yang Bangjie said with a cold face, "I'll ask him myself, don't spread the word!" Seeing that Yang Bangjie's focus was shifted to prostitution, several soldiers stopped talking and waited to see the good show.
Yang Bangjie was troubled. In fact, when he and his ex-wife were at odds, he often spent time with Wang Li outside. It was because Zheng Yicheng was with him later that he calmed down.He always regarded Zheng Yicheng as his wife, never thought that he would be like ordinary men, who would be promiscuous outside.Want to get angry with him, but he got hurt again; don't care about him, but feel sad in my heart.
Yang Bangjie hesitated for a long time, finally opened the tent, stepped in, forced a smile and said, "Zixin, I heard you were injured, how is the injury?"
Zheng Yicheng's lips were bloodless, even though it was already Jichun, he was still wearing a heavy cotton robe lying on the couch, looking very haggard.Seeing his disgusted appearance, Yang Bangjie's suffocation suddenly turned into a puddle of spring water, and his heart was filled with pity, and his whole heart was almost pulled up.
Zheng Yicheng pointed to his chest and said calmly, "A little leg injury is not a problem, the injury here is the real problem."
Seeing him like this, Yang Bangjie couldn't help asking in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Yicheng asked coldly, "Let me ask you, you want to marry Wei Zhongjiedushi, but there is?"
Yang Bangjie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled calmly, "It's true."

(46) Freezing and sinking will come naturally
How much Zheng Yicheng hoped to hear a negative answer from Yang Bangjie.Unexpectedly, he replied with a smile as if nothing happened, "It is true."
Zheng Yicheng lost his temper, and regardless of the injury on his leg, he got out of bed and was about to leave, "Whoever said that he wants to be the same as the eyebrows, so that the same mistakes will not be repeated, and the result is not that there is a new person and the old person is forgotten..."
Yang Bangjie stopped Zheng Yicheng from the waist, and hugged him full of arms, "Are you angry because of this, that's why you're promiscuous outside?"
Zheng Yicheng poked Yang Bangjie's chest resentfully and said, "Do you have the right to say that about me? I believed you in vain..."
"Zixin!" Yang Bangjie grabbed Zheng Yicheng's hand and pushed him back on the couch and said, "I have agreed to marry Wei Zhongjiedushi, but I am not the one who wants to get married."
Zheng Yicheng was dumbfounded, confused for a while, Na Na asked, "Who else is it if it's not you?"
"My son!" Yang Bangjie said, "My Abao will marry the daughter of Wei Zhongjiedushi in the future. His daughter just passed the full moon not long ago, so he sent someone to propose marriage. I don't think it's a big deal, and I'm not in a hurry. Let me explain to you, I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
Halfway through Zheng Yicheng's hearing, he wished he could dig a hole in the ground immediately. It turned out that Yang Bangjie never betrayed him, and it was all because of his own bad intentions.Who is Yang Bangjie's unexpected son, who was raised by a wet nurse at home in Beijing, Zheng Yicheng had never even met him before, so how could he think that someone would marry that three-year-old child.He was buried in Yang Bangjie's arms, so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head.
Yang Bangjie refused to let him go, avoiding Zheng Yicheng's calf injury, pushed him back on the couch, covered him with his whole body and asked, "Tell me, why did you go to a prostitute after participating in an elegant fair?
