Fenghou

Chapter 348 Job-hopping
Hu Yantong was shocked, "How could it be Wanyan Stickhan?"

Chen Qing sneered, "I have dealt with the most elite sentry cavalry of the Jurchen, and I know their strength is similar to the cavalry I trained. Fifty men against fifty, even if the opponent wins, it will be a miserable victory. How is it possible? Fifty people killed [-] people, and not one person died? There is only one possibility, what you encountered was Nianhan's black wolf head."

Wanyan Nianhan has a cavalry cavalry body guard of [-] men, called Heilangtou, also known as the Black Wolf Army. Each soldier has a black wolf tattooed on his chest as a symbol.

These [-] men were selected from among the [-] Jurchen cavalry, all of them outstanding and extremely powerful in combat. These [-] cavalry could sweep tens of thousands of Song troops.

Hei Langtou will not go alone to perform tasks, but will follow Wanyan Nianhan, so there has always been a saying that where there are Heilang, there must be Nianhan.

That's why Chen Qing was able to conclude that the opponent was Wanyan Nianhan leading fifty cavalry.

"You can't imagine it! Wanyan Nianhan personally came to the south bank of the Yangtze River to investigate the Song Army's defense."

Hu Yantong stared blankly at Chen Qing, and asked for a while, "Isn't he afraid of getting himself into danger?"

"He didn't take Song Jun seriously at all. To put it bluntly, what if you found out? Surround him? Kill him? I'm afraid few people have the guts! Song Jun can only send him out of the country .”

Hu Yantong sighed, "You're right, Zhang Jun is now the defense commander along the river, and he has issued an order to the entire army not to allow anyone to start a war with the Jinbing, otherwise they will be severely punished, they are afraid in their bones I'm going to die, as long as the golden soldiers don't come over, I'll burn the incense, how dare I provoke trouble, I've been injured for two months, nothing happened at all, and the three hundred brothers died in vain."

Chen Qing asked: "Can Yue Fei and Han Shizhong also bear it?"

"It's beyond their control. This is the emperor's edict, and they have to obey no matter how dissatisfied they are."

But what Chen Qing cares about now is not the defense of the Yangtze River, but the army he trained. It really hurts his heart to die in vain. It is best to call them back to his side.

"The army I trained at the beginning, how many people are left now?"

"There are still about [-] people?"

"They are all your subordinates?" Chen Qing asked.

Hu Yantong nodded, "I am the commander of the general, and the number of troops in command is about [-]."

Chen Qing walked a few steps and asked again: "Then when will you return to the army?"

Hu Yantong hesitated for a long time and said, "I want to join your army!"

After a pause, he continued: "If I can't join your army, I will quit the army. I can't bear this shame!"

Chen Qing smiled and said, "I don't know much about this kind of transfer between troops, do you think it's feasible?"

"There are generally two ways. One is to transfer through the Privy Council, but both the transferring party and the transferring party must agree. Zhang Jun has already agreed to let me go. As long as you nod, and my family asks for some favors, the transfer will be smooth. Then another way is to resign and then join, just like Gao Ding, this method is easier to offend people, just like Liu Guangshi is very dissatisfied with you!"

"Liu Guangshi is dissatisfied with me?" Chen Qing asked in surprise.

"Don't you know?"

Chen Qing shook his head, he really didn't know anything, but he could guess the reason.

"Because of Gao Ding?"

"That's right, Gao Ding defected to you, which made Liu Guangshi very annoyed. He publicly criticized you more than once, saying that you act recklessly and have no court, and that you are a bison who doesn't know the rules."

Chen Qing chuckled, and his evaluation was quite fair. He said to Huyan Passage, "Of course you are willing to come over, I welcome it, but you'd better bring [-] brothers to come here together."

Hu Yantong lowered his head and thought for a while, "Let my grandfather come forward, Zhang Jun should give him this face and let me take the army away."

Lu Xiu was also outside, and she took two young ladies to buy rouge and fragrant cakes at the most famous Zhanggu powder shop in Lin'an.

Zhang Gu’s makeup shop was moved from Bianliang, and it has a history of [-] years in the Song Dynasty. It is the largest and most famous makeup shop in Bianliang, Tokyo.

The store was full of young wives and young ladies from rich families.

Buying all kinds of cosmetics is naturally a great pleasure for girls.

"You two, don't be in a daze, quickly choose a few you like, and let's go eat!"

Yu Ying and Yu Lian also knew about Zhang Gu Gu's makeup. Their former owner, Mrs. Li, used this kind of makeup. They were both familiar with it, but they wanted to buy wedding supplies today!How did you come here to buy makeup?

The two had to choose two sets of good cosmetics each. This is a set of cosmetics, ranging from eyebrow pencil to rouge.

"Girl, we have chosen!"

Lu Xiu put their cosmetics in her basket, "Let's pay for it!"

After a while, the three of them came out with their bags, and someone behind them called them, "Wait a minute!"

The three of them turned their heads and saw the shopkeeper running out. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged greasy uncle, bald, short and fat.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xiu asked.

The shopkeeper pointed to the two young ladies, and said with a smile: "The two of them, I want to hire them to sell cosmetics with a lot of money, and each of them is worth a day!"

When the two young ladies tried the rouge, they didn't wear a hat, and the shopkeeper who was very eyed saw it. He immediately saw unlimited business opportunities. If the two of them were allowed to promote the new rouge, it would definitely cause a sensation in the whole city.

He saw that the two of them were not young ladies, but servant girls of a rich family, so he boldly came to ask for a price.

A penny a day is definitely a lot of money and a high price. To be a tea concubine in Fengle Building costs only ten pennies a month, and you need both beauty and skills.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Xiu suddenly became upset, she said to the two young ladies: "Don't pay attention to him, let's get in the car!"

The three of them got into the carriage, and the owner hurried forward and said, "That's two bucks a day!"

Several tall warriors stopped him and looked at him coldly. The shopkeeper took two steps back in fright. Only then did he realize that there were twelve guards on horseback on both sides of the carriage, all with bows and knives on their backs.

The shopkeeper was startled, and hurried back.

The carriage sped away, and the young lady watching the bustle asked the shopkeeper, "What kind of person is he!
The shop owner said sadly: "They are two little ladies, they look exactly the same, so pretty, with white skin, it's the first time I've seen it, I don't know whose little maid, it would be great if they would sell makeup for me, what a pity Already!"

A girl in yellow clothes said: "The one just now seems to be Miss Lu, they should belong to Mrs. Lu's family."

The shop owner suddenly realized that he was completely out of control now, even if Lu Yihao was not a husband now, he was not someone he could afford to offend.

In the carriage, Yu Ying said triumphantly, "I never imagined that we could earn twice a day!"

Lu Xiu curled her lips and said, "Is this little money enough to buy you?"

"Sixty guan a month is not a small amount of money! But it's not enough to bribe us, the young master gave each of us ten taels of silver pocket money a month! That's fifty guan."

Lu Xiu was a little annoyed and said, "You obviously have more money than me, yet you still want me to buy makeup for you."

Yu Ying grinned and said, "You are the mistress! Don't tell me you have the nerve to ask us to pay for it?"

"What kind of mistress am I, and now you are the two mistresses, okay?"

Lu Xiu felt a little unhappy, Saburo always said that they were little maids, and the maids could pay up to three pennies a month, okay, would they still be called maids if they were given fifty pennies?

Lu Xiu was not stingy, she was reluctant to part with a few taels of silver, she was just angry that Chen Qing did not tell the truth, from this detail, she knew that San Lang did not regard these two little ladies as human beings in his heart.

Needless to say, these two little ladies must be his concubines when they grow up.

Yu Lian observed her words, she saw that Lu Xiu's face was not very happy, and she knew that her sister's flaunting of the ten taels of silver had offended the girl.

She hurriedly explained to Lu Xiu: "Girl, don't listen to her nonsense, ten taels of silver a month is not for our monthly money, but for the whole family's food and clothing expenses, such as firewood, rice, oil and salt at home, tea for the young master, shoes, socks, headscarves and clothes. Buying sour plum soup in summer and buying charcoal in winter are all spent here, because there is really no one in the family, so the son let us take care of the money, and it is naturally not our business when the girl comes in."

Lu Xiu is a carefree person by nature, and she doesn't have so many small stomachs. She immediately untied her knot and said with a smile: "Alian, you don't need to explain, I won't be angry. From now on, I will ask for thirty taels of pocket money every month. See if he dares to give it to me!"

There was a burst of laughter in the carriage, Lu Xiu said with a smile: "I'm hungry, I'll take you to eat boat dishes, you must have never eaten!"
