retaliate

Chapter 668 Thank you
Summer has come to an end, but the weather is weirdly hot.

The old people said that this year's climate only happened more than ten years ago.One said, it turned out to be the year when the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne.

"The day when the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne was hot and evil. At that time, some officials said it was auspicious. What did they say... The power of the Tang Dynasty is as hot as the sun."

An old man was squatting on the side of the street, chatting with a group of people.

Someone stood outside and asked, "Then what happened next?"

The old man spat out a mouthful of old phlegm on the ground, "Bah! The country is scorching hot, it's the day of our common people, damn it, it's in dire straits!"

"Isn't it! For more than ten years, our life has become more and more difficult."

"Beiliao in the north is also becoming more and more rampant."

The crowd crusaded for a while.

Huang Chunhui was wearing plain clothes, surrounded by several guards, and walked with his head down.

"My lord, there is eyeliner on the mirror." A guard whispered.

"Drive away." Huang Chunhui pressed his bamboo hat and couldn't help sighing when he heard those people scolding Chang'an.

Later, he arrived at Pei's house.

"The old man came to see Brother Jiu."

The majestic Pei Jian took him to the ancestral hall.

The door of the ancestral hall opened, and Huang Chunhui stepped over the threshold with a crooked body.

He lit three sticks of incense, inserted them into the incense burner, and stretched out his hand: "cloth towel."

Pei Jian handed over the cloth towel.

Huang Chunhui took a cloth towel and carefully wiped the tablet.

His eyesight was not good enough, he turned sideways, and with the help of the light from outside, he could see where there was dust.

"Ninth Brother, the old man has been tossing and tossing for a long time, and He Lianfeng is finally tempted. Before the old man leaves, at least one more effort will be made for the northern border. A war will make the northern border stable for two or three years.

Two or three years later, Liao Jin will also be old. At that time, the newcomer will take the lead... Newcomer!Looking at the grinning one, it's a trick!He is ruthless! "

Huang Chunhui thought it was too dark here, so he sat on the threshold, leaning against the door frame, muttering while wiping.

"He Lianrong in Tanzhou has been planning for a long time, and has a lot of tricks, but he doesn't know that the young man has already prepared a big hole, waiting for him to jump into it.

That method!Tut tut!Brother Jiu, if you were here, you would definitely scold me, motherfucker!Are all the cubs these days so vicious? "

Pei Jian squatted on the other side, looking at the sky in a daze.

"Grind down He Lianfeng, and the bottom is He Lianchun. That fat pig is ruthless, and the city is amazing. However, the old man thinks that the young man can do it. So it turns out! They have dealt with each other in Chenzhou, young man The cub did not suffer. Hahahaha!"

He laughed happily, and coughed again without being wary. Pei Jian quickly got warm water, "Uncle, don't laugh."

Huang Chunhui took a sip of warm water and said comfortably: "This man can't laugh, so why live? This old man would rather die laughing than suffocate himself laughing!"

Pei Jian smiled, "Who is the brat uncle is talking about? Yang Xuan?"

Huang Chunhui came to Pei's house when he had nothing to do, and sat there holding Pei Jiu's tablet and muttering for a long time.

"You know that too?"

"Hmm! I heard that he is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty."

"Not only famous generals, but also excellent management methods!" Huang Chunhui put down his water glass, "When Brother Nine was in charge of Northern Xinjiang, he didn't like officials who dragged his papers the most, but if that person dragged his papers while governing well, then Brother Nine You can bear him. Dalang, what are your future ambitions?"

Pei Jian squatted beside him, his tiger eyes were full of sadness, "My little nephew is shameful now."

"Pei Jiu's son should stand upright!" Huang Chunhui held the plaque, "Old Liao is getting old, I didn't say anything about you because I was afraid to scare him. But that young man is very courageous."

"Oh!" Pei Jian asked, "How dare you be so bold?"

"The old man fell out with Chang'an, and many officials in northern Xinjiang silently supported him, but Yang Xuan made a big fanfare and said he couldn't attack, so he did it out of nowhere..."

"Is he just filled with righteous indignation, complaining about his uncle, or what?"

"The fact that you can ask such a question shows that you have not put aside Ninth Brother's art of war at home all these years." Huang Chunhui was very pleased, "This is a young man with his own opinions, and he has his own views on affairs, which cannot be controlled by an old man. "

"Then, it's interesting." Pei Jian narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Dalang."

"Ok!"

"Have you thought about joining the army?"

"Uncle, once my long knife comes out, tell me, the army will be bombed!" Pei Jian smiled wryly.

Pei Jiu's eldest son was carefully cultivated by him since he was a child, and his sword skills have also been passed down from him.

If he really wanted to go into battle, he would cut it off with a single knife... The comrades around him felt as if they had discovered that their partner was a fairy.

People with such abilities still need to start from scratch?
"After the old man retires, the situation in northern Xinjiang will not be too stable. The old man estimates that Chang'an will continue to suppress, and then northern Xinjiang will counterattack."

"Uncle is not worried about rebellion in northern Xinjiang?"

"Compared with worrying about Beijiang's rebellion, the old man is more worried that Beijiang will bow to Chang'an, and then another person will take charge of Beijiang, and then... be broken by Beiliao.

Just think about the horses from the Northern Liao Dynasty stepping on the Central Plains, and the old man can't sleep at night.

The old man is old, there is no way, the only way is to let the most fierce people take charge of the northern border.

Even if he doesn't deal with Chang'an, he can at least protect the northern border and the border of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Chang'an, let those bugs continue to wriggle and entangle in the cesspit! "

Pei Jian thought it was very appropriate for Huang Chunhui to compare the Chang'an emperors and dignitaries to maggots, and to compare the interests they were fighting for to a cesspit.

"He's coming. Later, the old man is going to welcome him, Dalang." Huang Chunhui got up, Pei Jian helped him, and he patted the back of Pei Jian's hand, "You come too, it's a meeting."

Pei Jian hesitated, "Uncle..."

"What are you afraid of?" Huang Chunhui sent the tablet in, bowed his hands, turned around and said, "That kid is a ruthless man, and he is the son-in-law of the Zhou family. He didn't take Chang'an's threats seriously, understand?"

Pei Jian was still hesitating, Huang Chunhui feigned anger, "This old man is here, even if it's inappropriate, he won't dare to do anything to you!"

Huang Chunhui pushed Yang Xuan out in public, this is the grace of election, the grace of knowing you!

Pei Jian is his nephew, and even the son of the famous commander Pei Jiu who is deeply missed by the army and people in northern Xinjiang.If Yang Xuan knew about it and reported it, the soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang would regard him as a pig and dog!

Pei Jian agreed.

After sending Huang Chunhui away, Pei Jian stood in the yard in a daze for a long time.

"Aye, Uncle Huang's intention is to let me become an official. This means that the relationship between Beijiang and Chang'an has become more and more rigid. I don't know if this is good or bad. I just think about Aye's grievances back then. , I wanted to kill Chang'an and kill the father and son."

Pei Jian stayed in the ancestral hall for a long time, and when he came out, he practiced sword skills in the yard with a horizontal knife.

With the last knife, all the depression in his heart emerged.

laugh!
Amidst the sharp howling of knives, the wall collapsed.

The family rushed out, and the neighbors heard it too.

"The walls of the Zhou family have collapsed!"

Before Pei Jiu committed suicide, he arranged for his confidants to send his family members to Beijiang, where Huang Chunhui would take care of them.Pei's surname is too conspicuous, so she followed her mother's surname, Zhou!
At this moment, Yang Xuan entered the city with a mighty army.

"Chenzhou Army is here!"

The people of Tao County are boiling.

"Tanzhou Army was defeated by him!"

"It looks quite arrogant!"

"This is the existence that defeated the Tanzhou Army, how can you not be proud!"

Liu Qing came to meet him in person and took Yang Xuan to the Jiedu envoy's mansion.

"Msanggong prepared a banquet and said it was for you to welcome the wind. This is enough to give you a lot of face. Don't be smug, be humble!"

"Yes." Yang Xuan was very humble.

After entering Jiedushi's mansion, the banquet was ready.

Civil and military forces from northern Xinjiang gathered together.

Huang Chunhui introduced several officials and generals whom Yang Xuan was not familiar with, then pointed to a man around 40 years old, and said, "This is the son of an old man, Zhou Jian."

Being able to make Huang Chunhui cherish the introduction so much, Yang Xuan couldn't help being curious, and cupped his hands: "I've met Zhou Langjun."

Pei Jian got up and saluted, "Zhou Jian, I have met Yang Shijun."

Huang Chunhui said with a smile: "Zhou Jian's military and sword skills are excellent, but after his father left, he was a little depressed and kept his filial piety at home."

"Oh!"

Yang Xuanduo glanced at Zhou Jian.

Huang Chunhui was about to retire. At this time, he pushed a nephew out, which reminded Yang Xuan of the story of making crazy moves before retiring.

Old Huang, is it too late?

Then came the drinking.

While being fed alcohol by Jiang Cunzhong and others, Yang Xuan inadvertently looked at Zhou Jian.

"uncle."

Zhou Jian toasted, Huang Chunhui happily drank a glass of wine.

It was night, and Yang Xuan was very drunk.

"Help Zitai back." Liao Jin also drank too much, "Just arrange it at the side."

The old thief supported Yang Xuan and said, "Thank you, Deputy Envoy Liao, but there is already a place."

"Where?" Liao Jin burped.

"The house I bought myself."

Liao Jin was taken aback, "The house in Tao County is not cheap!"

"He's not short of money."

Huang Chunhui sat down and thumped his lower back with his backhand.

Pei Jian bowed and left.

"Sir, he is..."

Of course Liao Jin didn't think that Pei Jian was a passerby, so he asked.

"It's the son of the same robe of the old man." Huang Cunhui yawned, "The old man is tired."

Liao Jin resigned.

Out of here, Jin Zheng, the head of the guards, followed, and said softly: "Deputy envoy, Mr. Yang drank too much tonight, and looks quite unruly."

"You want to say that he made a fool of himself tonight?"

"Yes."

Liao Jin walked slowly in the Jiedushi's mansion, the sergeants on both sides were carrying lanterns, and when they saw him coming, they all bowed their heads.

"For more than a year, Mr. Xiang didn't allow anyone to get drunk, let alone drink. Tonight, Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du poured Yang Xuan unscrupulously. Those two were not stupid and bold, but Mr. Xiang made them get drunk on Yang Xuan... "

"What's the use?" Jin Zheng smiled and said, "Could it be that Xianggong wants to show him off?"

"Do you think it is necessary for Xianggong to do this?" Liao Jin smiled, "Xianggong did it on purpose, the so-called wine quality depends on character, getting him drunk and letting Tao County officials see his nature is also a kind of intimacy way."

Yang Xuan returned to his residence. The place was bought a long time ago, after some renovations, it can be used now.

The old thief sent Yang Xuan to the backyard and left.

Jiang He'er supported Yang Xuan, and went in while complaining.

"They all said to drink less, but drinking is like drinking water."

He helped Yang Xuan into the bedroom, made the bed and folded the quilt.

Then he carried Yang Xuan over.

"Lang Jun, sleep!"

puff!
Yang Xuan threw himself on the bed.

Feeling that the mattress is so soft, I can't help but reach out and press it.

The mattress is soft and warm, and the smell is good, a little fresh.

Once the mood is relaxed, the whole person is completely relaxed.

Tonight, Yang Xuan also deliberately let go of himself and drank a lot.

His alcoholism has always been good, and he falls asleep when he is drunk.

It was as if someone was shouting.

It also seemed that someone was muttering and struggling.

"do not move!"

Yang Xuan said dissatisfiedly, then clicked his mouth and continued to sleep.

This sleep lasted until the early morning of the second day.

When Yang Xuan woke up, his head was a little dazed.

There was some breath left in the air, but Yang Xuan didn't notice it.

He closed his eyes, and the situation of last night emerged one by one.

Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du took turns pouring wine, Huang Chunhui and others just watched with a smile.

It's more of a showcase.

After the memory came back, so did the headache.

Yang Xuan covered his forehead, "Water!"

Squeak!

The door opened, and Jiang He'er came in with a kettle and cup.

Her face was pale and rosy, her eyes were black and white, and she bit her red lips, as if she was getting angry.

"Who bullied you?"

Yang Xuan took the water glass, raised his head and drank it. Feeling uneasy, he snatched the water bottle and poured it.

"what!"

After drinking a pot of water, Yang Xuan felt refreshed.

"No." Jiang He'er took the kettle and went out.

Standing outside the door, Jiang He'er stomped, "Hmph!"

She thought of how she was thrown down by the gentleman last night, and she said that she has the virtue of drinking, so if you fall down, just fall down, where do you put your hands?Not honest at all.

She suddenly felt a little swollen in her chest, and an inexplicable anxiety hit her.

Is it thirsty?
Jiang He'er made himself a glass of water, and after drinking it, it was still the same.

Close your eyes and keep thinking about what happened last night.

The alcohol-smelling breath hit his face, and his heavy body pressed against him...

"Hey! Don't think about it!"

Jiang He'er touched his hot face.

"Get up!"

Yang Xuan got up and staggered out of the room.

I drank too much!

Jiang He'er went to the front yard.

"Where's the old thief?"

Wang Laoer is practicing, so he doesn't answer.

Wu Da said: "I went out at dawn, and said I was going around."

With his hands behind his back, the old thief wandered around the city like a little old man who could not sleep.

Whenever I go to a new place, the first thing to do is not to find a noble person, but to get familiar with the environment.See if there are peers, if anyone is staring at you.

This is the custom and cannot be changed.

And if you want to know this, the best place is in the market, and places where dragons and snakes mix like brothels and restaurants.

The more mixed the place, the better the news.

In every larger place, there are always some wine shops open all night, and those people appear in the wine shop either in groups or alone.

These people are nocturnal, they are active when others sleep, and they sleep when others are active.

Fight against God.

The old thief entered the house, and there were more than ten men sitting in it.

The shopkeeper was lying on the counter and taking a nap, and the clerk was leaning against the counter, his body was shaking, and it seemed that he couldn't hold on anymore.

More than ten men are talking.

"Then Yang Xuan will probably settle down in Taoxian County in the future. If he takes over the post of deputy envoy, our life may be difficult."

"The good guys in Chenzhou were treated miserably by him. The beatings were normal, and people were arrested every now and then... Brothers, do you know where those people who were arrested have gone?"

A big man smiled mysteriously.

"Where did you go?" someone asked.

The big man said, "Go build the road!"

"Damn it! We're a vicious young ranger, and we're going to build roads?"

The big man said: "Everyone, now that he is here, what should we do? Or, change careers and become good family members?"

The crowd was furious, and there was a burst of crusade, nothing more than cruel words such as not being afraid of the government in life and not afraid of King Yama in death.

A big man took off his clothes, rolled up his yellowed undershirt, and exposed his arms with a row of tattoos on them.

"Government, what a bird!" The big man pointed to the tattoo on his arm, which was exactly these five characters, and he said frantically, "Some brothers have already gone to his residence, and they are going to give him a good look."

"Yang Gou has good players by his side." Someone said, "It's not right for that brother to go!"

The big man put down his sleeves, and said calmly: "Brother Xie is good at sneaking in. Back then when the magistrate of Tao County wanted to punish us, it was he who sneaked in and put a knife beside the senior official's bed."

Yang Xuan has finished washing at this moment, his stomach feels uncomfortable, and he didn't eat breakfast.

A thin man knelt in front of him, flatteringly said: "The villain's surname is Xie, and his first name is Xie."
