Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 20 Zhang Qiong's Pure Mind

"Big brother!"

Seeing the person coming, Zhang Qiong yelled in surprise, and looked at the ground with a guilty conscience: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Qiong's elder brother's name is Zhang Jin.

The two are eight years apart.

They were originally from the Daming Mansion, and their father was a general under the command of Du Chongwei, the Jiedu envoy of the Chengde Army. He was killed by the Khitan when they marched into Youzhou.

This son inherited his father's career, and the position of tooth general belonged to the eldest son Zhang Jin.

But Zhang Jin knew that his younger brother Zhang Qiong was born with supernatural power, was skilled in bowing horses, and his martial arts were far superior to his own, so he gave this opportunity to Zhang Qiong.

Because of Zhang Qiong's righteousness and extraordinary martial arts, he was highly regarded by Wang Yin, the governor of the Tianxiong Army.

This Wang Yin was one of the few Jiedu envoys under Guo Wei's command, but because he refused to accept Guo Rong, he did not want to see Guo Wei pass the throne to his adopted son Guo Rong, and was involved in political struggles and killed by Guo Wei.

Zhang Qiong was grateful for Wang Yinende, couldn't help complaining a few words, informed someone, received a killing blow, almost died, and was expelled from the army.

Zhang Jin used all his wealth to bring Zhang Qiong back from the ghost gate.

After Guo Rong ascended the throne, he chose the best men from all over the world to form the Forbidden Army. Zhang Qiong was selected in Daming Mansion and transferred to Kaifeng for training.

In order to take care of his younger brother, Zhang Jin resolutely moved south with his family and came to Kaifeng together.

In Zhang Qiong's heart, Zhang Jin exists like a father.

Seeing that he was fine, Zhang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, then said sharply: "You have already been sued to Kaifeng mansion, how can I not come."

Zhang Qiong timidly said in a low voice: "I mean how do you know."

Zhang Jin said unhappily: "Ergou watched you being dragged by an old man to report to the official on the Longjin Bridge."

Zhang Qiong muttered: "Mind your own business..."

But under Zhang Jin's glaring eyes, he didn't continue.

Luo Youdu spoke in time and explained the situation.

Zhang Qiong immediately said: "That's right, big brother. It's really not us who caused the trouble, it's obviously the old... Forget it, let's not talk about it." He thought that the old man was not easy, so he didn't talk about right and wrong.

Compared with Zhang Qiong's simplicity, Zhang Jin has a lot more sophistication, so he pulled Zhang Qiong to thank Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu smiled openly and said, "It's okay! I'm just dealing with it fairly."

Zhang Qiong said carelessly: "Look, brother, the official is a good official, and he even said that he would invite us to Koufuzhai to eat meat..." Speaking of eating meat, he immediately regained his energy and said: "The official is not Do you mind if we have one more elder brother?"

Zhang Jin's face changed slightly.

Luo Youdu originally thought that there was no hope of winning over, so he immediately answered the conversation, and said with a smile: "It's okay, one more person drinks, and it tastes better. A strong man should not be called an official, a certain surname is Luo and his name is Youdu, and he is called Brother Luo or Juvenile is fine."

Zhang Qiong was shocked and said, "But Luo Youdu who kicked Zhao Kuangyi's ass?"

Luo Youdu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's right here."

Zhang Qiong was overjoyed: "Just based on this, I have to have a good drink with Brother Luo."

Zhang Jin couldn't say anything when he saw this, he shook his head and sighed.

Luo Youdu was leading the way, but he was curious and said, "Brother Zhang, is there something wrong with Zhao Kuangyi?"

Zhang Qiong shook his head and said: "No, it's just that he doesn't like it. He took the military position by virtue of his brother Du Yuhou's merits. Made a set of formations, let us train. It's a mess, messing around...Brother, why are you dragging me?"

He looked at Zhang Jin curiously.

Zhang Jin looked embarrassed.

Luo Youdu didn't say anything.

Zhang Qiong seemed to have suffered quite a bit of grievance, and said: "It's not like we don't understand the formation in war. But before the fight started, it changed back and forth. More than 20 changes, who the hell can remember."

Luo Youdu was amused after hearing "Ha ha".

This is Zhao Kuangyi's biggest problem.

Zhao Kuangyi has no self-knowledge of his own abilities. Regardless of military affairs, his imperial skills, tactics, and political abilities are all extraordinary.But he felt that his military ability was also extraordinary, which was a bit scary.

Luo Youdu also seemed to understand why Zhao Kuangyin wanted to kill Zhang Qiong.

Zhang Qiong is straightforward and easily offends people.He looked down on Zhao Kuangyi, and the person Zhao Kuangyin cared about most was his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi.

When he came to Koufuzhai, Luo Youdu asked for a private room directly. He wanted to make a good relationship, and ordered a bunch of good meat, and he didn't care about money at all.

Zhang Qiong couldn't help swallowing just hearing the name.

Zhang Jin stood aside with a sad face, and looked at Zhang Qiong with some anxiety. In the end, he couldn't hold back, and found an excuse to call Zhang Qiong to the backyard of Koufuzhai.

Luo Youdu didn't care and let them go.

"Brother!" Zhang Qiong whispered: "It's not good for someone to invite us to eat meat with kindness."

Zhang Jin looked serious, and said sharply: "He joined the army dignifiedly, a seventh-rank official, he has no plans, why should we call you brothers and sisters, invite you and me to drink and eat meat?"

Zhang Qiong said: "If there is any conspiracy, don't you just want us to follow him!"

Zhang Jin said anxiously, "Since you know, you're still here?"

Zhang Qiong looked puzzled: "Why didn't you come? Brother, I know you are good for me. I am not stupid. Luo Canjun invited me to drink and eat meat. That is how I value me. Just for this, eat his meat and give it to him." So what's it like to sacrifice your life? In this world, whoever sacrifices your life is not selling? Why don't you be with a person who you see rightly and who can still drink and eat meat?"

Zhang Jin was a little surprised, looked at Zhang Qiong, and said in a deep voice, "Are you serious?"

Zhang Qiong thought for a while, then shook her head vigorously: "I don't know! Brother, you are so confused, why are you thinking so much? No matter what you say, joining the army today can take care of the old man and give us justice. It’s quite admirable. It’s my honor, Zhang Qiong, for such a person to look up to me. As you said, brother, he has a different purpose, and it’s up to me whether he does it in the end? He told me to die, I’m sure not I will go. But if you want me to do something that I can do and I am willing to do, why refuse?"

"Brother! Your brother, I am not a person who can do big things, but I think Luo Canjun can do big things."

Zhang Jin was silent for a while, then said with relief: "Maybe my elder brother is too lenient. You are right. In this world, the emperor will not live long, let alone our people. There is no peaceful way to live. Everyone is safe." It's just fate, it's not necessarily a bad thing to get to know someone like Luo Canjun. Let's go, you and my brother, let's eat meat together. If you want something, the two of you can carry it together."

Zhang Qiong was overjoyed, and said: "That's right, why do you think so much. If you don't eat meat, it will be struck by lightning."

Regarding the temporary separation of the two, Luo Youdu did not express anything. Zhang Jin was worried about his younger brother.

Seeing this, Zhang Jin also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling great, and secretly said: "Perhaps it is as the second brother said, this Luo Canjun is really capable of great things."
