Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 112

"Qing... Qingxi?"

Hearing the place name from Ying Shiba's mouth, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were both stunned. They looked at each other and saw incredible expressions on each other's faces.

If there is nothing wrong with their memory, they remember that before the third son of Prince Yihe's mansion escaped marriage, he once swore to his servant or guard that those who would come to their Jiapingguan city to join the army would come and show off Passionate, why did he run to Qingxi in a blink of an eye?The small town of Qingxi is in the south of Xijing City, about [-] miles away from Xijing City, and Jiapingguan City is in the north direction of Xijing City. What is the situation of the third son's route? How could he go further and further away? ?

Shen Cha shook his head. This is probably the real version of the opposite. The third son interpreted the meaning of this idiom with practical actions. No wonder they couldn't find it after searching for so many days in the north.

"I remember that in the town of Qingxi, half is a bookstore, and the other half is an engraving workshop." Yan Bo looked at Ying Shiba, "That's right?"

"Yes!" Ying Shiba nodded, "The news from Xijing is that our people found him in the bookstore."

"So, nerds are attracted by bookstores and engraving workshops?"

"Are you ashamed to say that others are nerds?" Yan Bo rolled his eyes at Qin Zheng, "Have you read more books than that kid has eaten?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I am also a nerd, but I am a clever nerd, unlike this third son, who knows and understands nothing except reading." Qin Zheng shook his head helplessly, Prince Yihe He is not a fool, the eldest son and the second son are also very smart, why is this youngest son so stupid, and he doesn't know who he followed. "When he arrived in Qingxi Town, he read so many books that he probably forgot about joining the army. But... how did he get there? Did he go through the south gate?"

"No, Your Majesty said last time that it is the north gate. However, if you go out from the north gate of Xijing City, you will have to walk for two days to get to Qingxi." Shen Haolin rubbed his swollen forehead, "I admire him very much. I've never been out before, and after taking such a long detour, I found exactly where the nerds gather."

"Is it because he has never gone out before that he got lost? He is really stupid. Didn't he know that he went wrong? Didn't he ask someone for directions?" Shen Cha shook his head helplessly, looking at Ying Shiba asked, "Is there a detailed description of the whole process in the news we received?"

"Yes! After searching for a few days without success, Commander Bai suggested that instead of hanging in the north, look in other directions." Ying Shiba sighed, "Sure enough, look for it in the south. The next day, the third young master was found in a bookstore in Qingxi Town. When invited back to the inn by the shadows, the third young master was still in a daze, completely unaware that he had actually gone the wrong way. He thought he had found the right direction, so he didn't ask anyone for directions, and no one asked him where he was going."

"What a beautiful misunderstanding!" Shen Cha snorted coldly, "Keep talking!"

"He told his brothers that seeing so many bookstores in this town, he was a little reluctant to leave, and wanted to go shopping first to see if there were any books that needed to be brought to Jiapingguan City. So, he packed in the inn He lived in an upper room, and went out every day to read and buy books. Our people found three stacks of books in his room, and asked him why he bought so many books. He said that most of the border soldiers were illiterate. You can come over and be a teacher and teach the soldiers how to read and write."

"He didn't come to join the army, but to be a teacher?" Shen Cha thought he had heard wrong, so he asked again.

"That's what he said!" Ying Shiba also found it funny, rubbed his nose, and continued, "He said that as a general, he has to be literate, at least he must be able to write his own name and write memorials for His Majesty. "

"Is this child stupid in reading? How many generals are illiterate these days? His prejudice against generals is really... This style is a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before!" Yan Bo heard this. He was very unhappy, and the others frowned, thinking that Zhao Yuhe was too self-righteous.Yan Bo snorted twice, bowed his head for a while, patted his thigh, and said, "I remembered, and I know who he looks like. It's true that my nephew followed my uncle. His style and his high-mindedness Uncle is virtuous. Sure enough, the children taught by that guy will all become idiots like him!"

"Uncle?" Shen Haolin thought for a moment, "His uncle, could it be... Mr. Cai's young master who caused public outrage? It took more than ten years to pass the Jinshi examination, but on the day the list was released, he drank too much , the one who fell directly into the river and drowned?"

"That's right!" Yan Bo nodded, curled his lips in disgust, and said, "It's him, it's nothing special, not only the generals want to beat him up, but even the children of noble families want to beat him." To slap his mouth."

"It's really outraged!" Qin Zheng looked at Uncle Yan curiously, "What is he doing? Sneaking, or bullying men and women?"

"Compared with what he did, it's nothing. Don't worry, listen to me slowly. This guy is a few years older than us, and he always pretends to be our brother. When we were hanging out on the street, he met When it comes to us, he either looks at us with his chin, or looks at us with his nostrils, that arrogance, no one in the entire Xijing City can surpass him."

"Is this looking down on you?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you think you have lost face to noble people?"

"Yeah, it's a pity that those talented scholars in Taixue play well with us, but they don't want to talk to him! It's just that he doesn't feel it. He looks down on us not only, but also people from the army. He has said more than once that warriors and generals are crude, and they should not have a place in the court." Yan Bo picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. He went on to say, "People asked him what he would do if Liao and Jin raised troops, and what he would do if he wanted to attack Daxia. Guess how he answered?"

"You don't need to think about how this kind of person will answer." Shen Haolin sneered, "He will definitely say that the war has nothing to do with him as a scholar. Anyway, he is not the one who died, and Liao Jin will not really fight. Go to Xijing!"

"Grandpa Guo is wise, he really said that!" Yan Bo nodded at Shen Haolin, "Not only that, but he also brazenly said that it doesn't matter even if the Liao and Jin invaded Xijing. It is wise for a wise man to choose a powerful man to serve as his allegiance!"

"Fortunately, he is dead, otherwise, sooner or later, he will die at the hands of the commanders of the various armies, or be sent to the execution ground by His Majesty to be beheaded for public display." Shen Cha's face was expressionless, and he patted Shen Haolin's hand, Said, "Brother, you don't have to be angry because of this kind of person, it's not worth it."

"Xiaocha is right, such a person is not worth getting angry with, he is not heartless, but shameless and shameless!" Yan Bo smiled at Shen Haolin, "Anyway, he paid the price for his own words , when he said these things, he was in... the restaurant of the King of Shun County. Coincidentally, the King of Shun County happened to be there that day and heard his words. You also know the temper of the King of the County... used to be lawless by the late emperor Yes, as long as you don't kill people and set fires, and communicate with foreign countries, no matter what you do, the late emperor will not care. So, Mr. Cai's son was miserable. He was beaten into a pig's head by the county prince and lay on the bed for more than a month. Mrs. Cai originally wanted to sue the first emperor, saying that the king of Shun County was bullying others, but after he inquired about what happened, he felt very ashamed and beat up his son again."

"About this matter, I once heard from my father that the first emperor issued a decree to Elder Cai, ordering his son to be grounded and not to leave the house for three years." Shen Haolin held Shen Cha's hand and said, "Three years later, This one passed the Jinshi examination, then stumbled and drowned. It's just...how did Prince Yihe marry his sister? If he knew this was the case, he probably wouldn't accept the marriage, right?"

"Marry his sister first, and he provoked public anger later. At that time, the third son had already entered school! Unfortunately, the enlightenment teacher of the third son is this idiot, so I don't think he can say that. I feel surprised, he has perfectly inherited his uncle's stupidity!" Yan Bo sighed, looked at Ying Shiba, and said embarrassedly, "I interrupted you, you can continue talking!"

"Uncle Yan, there is nothing to say. I just found someone and sent him back to Prince Yihe's mansion. Now, I guess he was grounded by the old prince." Ying Shiba curled his lips, "This third son, although He has never been out of the house, but he also knows that he needs to bring some more money, he brought out all the money he had saved over the years, except for accommodation and books, there is still a lot left."

"Just go back, let the old prince take care of it, and don't let it out again. It's a shame. Fortunately, the law and order near Xijing is good, there are no bandits, and he hasn't encountered human traffickers. Otherwise..." Shen Cha shook Shaking his head, "The old prince should take this third son to thank Commander Bai. If he hadn't been quick-witted, he probably wouldn't have found him so quickly."

"Cha'er is right, we should thank Bai Meng well!" Shen Haolin agreed with Shen Cha's words, "However...you can't stop going out of the house because of one failure, and you still have to practice and practice."

"Then you have to teach it well before releasing it, at least not like this time, you don't know if you get lost, right?" Shen Cha sighed, "Fortunately, the princess is not really going to marry this third son, if not……"

"Yes, yes!" Yan Bo nodded, and when he heard someone knocking on the door outside, he stood up and went out to have a look. After a while, he came back with a huge food box, "Dinner is here Let's eat!" He looked at Ying Shiba, "If you have nothing to do, just eat with us!"

"Thank you, Uncle Yan, we've already eaten, everyone take your time!" Ying Shiba bowed to several people, "Your subordinate will leave!"

Qin Zheng looked at the four bowls of fragrant noodle soup in the food box, took out a bowl of noodle soup that looked like a lot of ginger, and put it in front of his little apprentice.

"Eat it while it's hot. I specifically told Lao Mo to put more shredded ginger in the bowl that I gave you, so that you won't catch cold again after eating it."

"Thank you Master!"
