The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 124: Ambush
"Damn it, thank you!"

In the courtyard, Qiaoniang, who was washing rice with a dustpan, heard the complaining man beating his chest and stamping his feet in the courtyard, and then saw the husband smiling at her, shyly lowered his face, and ran into the thatched shed as if fleeing. Follow my aunt Wang Jinqiu to make dinner.

courtyard.

Geng Qing looked away, smiled and patted Zhang Huaiyi, who was in a frenzy, and stopped him by the shoulder and walked to the walnut tree.

"You're so scared just because of this little thing? You just follow along. Gathering the Shence Army is a qualification for promotion. You don't want to be a general and gallop on the battlefield?"

"Ride a fart."

Looking at the smiling young man, Zhang Huaiyi broke away from the hand on his shoulder, sat down on the stone bench under the tree, poured warm water for a sip, and quickly gestured with his hands.

"I don't know what my own virtue is? When I was on the battlefield, I didn't pee my pants in fear. I have been in battle for a long time, and I am still a general. Let me be like Zhang Chengfan, the former Tongguan guard? ? Thank you for thinking of this matter, I don’t care, the solution was suggested to His Majesty, you have to help me.”

He spoke very fast, saliva splashed from between the opening and closing of his mouth, Geng Qing waved his hand, covered it for a while, sat next to him, shook his head and smiled and said: "No, the holy order has been made, it is difficult to take it back, you have to insist on it." I will go with a scalp, even if I pretend to be sick or dead, I will carry you away."

Probably Geng Qing saw through his small thoughts of thinking of other ways, Zhang Huaiyi was immediately discouraged, and his whole body became sluggish.

Geng Qing smiled and poured a glass of warm water, looking into the courtyard, the little fox wagged its tail and followed Qiao Niang, watching the flames burning out of the stove; Dou Wei squatted with his mouth open, staring at the water glass He kept roaring, the water stains splashed out, and he was still a little dissatisfied; at the gate of the courtyard in the distance, a carriage came back, and Bai Yunxiang, who had taken off her winter clothes, showed a proud figure again, stepping on the lotus with her slender waist twisted. Stepping into the threshold, she glanced charmingly at the young man under the tree, slightly opened and closed her red lips, smiled teasingly, and dragged her skirt thumpingly up the stairs.

"Hey, where are you looking, I'm still waiting for your next post!"

Zhang Huaiyi looked at the woman upstairs, then at Geng Qing, who was looking at the attic, and was so angry that he wanted to hit him with his hands. He caught a glimpse of the scholar sitting under the eaves not far away, and the stern figure interspersed with needlework. He turned his hand, put it away and scratched the back of his head, and hurriedly urged, "Don't tell me I'm leaving."

As he said that, he was about to get up, when Geng Qing turned his eyes away and reprimanded: "Sit down!"

"Hey!"

The buttocks that had just left the stone bench immediately sat back, Zhang Huaiyi put his legs together, put his hands on his knees neatly, and realized that something was wrong.

"Geng Shilang is such a powerful official."

"Have you heard yet?"

"listen!"

Geng Qing made a 'cut' sound, sorted out the clues, and continued with the previous words.

"The holy order can't be taken back, so we can only find ways to save our lives on the battlefield, but since it's just borrowing your father's name, even if you go to the battlefield, it won't let you take too much risk, but that Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Zheng Wu, maybe they are also gathering these Shence troops, if you see something wrong, run back immediately, save your life first!"

"What's the trick? If you don't tell me, I will do it."

Zhang Huaiyi imitated Geng Qing's demeanor just "cut", waved his hands and got up to leave, "Stop talking, while there is still time, let's go play more, brother Geng, do you want to come together?"

"I won't go."

Here, Geng Qing sent him to the door and watched the carriage leave. If it wasn't for the fact that the family couldn't do without people, he would have done it himself. It wouldn't be the son's turn.

In the following time, except for the killing of a group of scholars who insulted Huang Chao and insulted Huang Chao, Chang'an still showed a lively and stable atmosphere. In March, the quiet court gradually became more and more noisy, and soldiers, horses, grain fodder, and civilian husbands were mobilized one by one. , Even the prisoners held in Dali Temple were conscripted into the team.

On the fifth day of March, the army had assembled outside the city. The generals who had received the ceremony stepped onto the horse and led the guards out of the imperial city along the street to the east and west gates. Zhang Huaiyi, dressed in military uniform and with a solemn face, also Inside, I waved to the people watching the excitement on both sides from time to time.

There were two groups of troops sent out this time. To the west, they resisted the Fengxiang army that came earlier, led by the two generals Shang Rang and Wang Bo, and to the east, Zhu Wen, who was ordered by the Holy Order, attacked Dengzhou.

Zhang Huaiyi rode on the big horse he had prepared from home. Looking at the backs of the two generals in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward to cup his fists, joking and joking to win him over. Then he felt a little relieved. It's all tied to the two of them.

The expedition team gradually moved away to the street, and the people in the city who watched and watched the excitement dispersed in twos and threes. Geng Qing also returned to the carriage and asked Dachun to go to the big mansion where the consultant Fu sent him.

"I've been busy during this time, so I haven't asked much about it. I wonder if Princess Guangde gets along well with my 'wives'."

Talking and laughing softly relieved the gradually tense nerves, and it spread outside, making Dachun laugh along with him. They are both from the same village. I never thought that Dazhu would be able to make it to this day. Last year, the two of them They are still in Feihu County, and in the blink of an eye, their identities have changed, just like a dream.

"Those people in the village can't even dream of the people Dazhu eats and sees every day, even the wives. I don't know what their expressions will be."

Thinking of the beauty, Dachun cracked his whip, and drove the carriage through the streets and alleys familiarly, and stopped at Guangdefang after half an hour.

Geng Qing got off the chariot and knocked on the lacquered red door. A moment later, a crisp female voice asked inside, "Who?"

"Open the door and send warm ones."

This is the secret signal that Geng Qing had agreed with the women inside, if someone else knocked on the door, sorry, most of them would not open it, and could only talk through the courtyard door.

On the opposite side, the door slowly opened a gap, and a good-looking eye inside saw Geng Qing outside, and called out with some embarrassment: "Husband."

Only then did the door open to let the young man in, and then it was slowly closed again.

Outside the closed lacquered gate, there was a pair of eyes watching from the corner. That figure crouched for a long time, and after a long time, the courtyard gate opened again, watching a few women send Geng Qing out, standing at the gate to say goodbye to him, the man Grinning, he didn't get up until the carriage drove away, and went into a nearby dark alley.

Where the figure left quickly, on the courtyard wall above, there was a figure standing with a sword behind his back, watching him walk through the street, snorted coldly, lowered the wall, walked to the direction where the carriage left, turned around the front street, and left His carriage was waiting there.

Sitting in the car, Qin Huaimian put down his long sword and took a sip of water.

"Sure enough, someone is staring at you, seeing that you don't care, and you already know who it is?"

Geng Qing drank the clear water in the cup, hooking the corners of his mouth like a fox.

"Still guessing? I have too few enemies."

The figure running across the market hurriedly walked into the side door with "Cui's Mansion" hanging on it, whispered a few words to the steward, and was then led around the verandahs and waterside pavilions to an attic in the atrium, where Cui Yu was standing On the desk, write a good handwriting, blow off the wet ink, and the steward of the mansion has already brought someone over.

"Master, the sixth son is back."

"What's the matter?" Cui Yan didn't look at the two people who entered the threshold, but only outlined and polished the words that were lacking, "Then, did you find anything about Geng Qing?"

"Report, my lord!"

The sharp-mouthed thin man named Liu Zi didn't dare to show his usual smirk, and cupped his hands respectfully: "I've been with you for a few days, he lives in seclusion, has a regular schedule, makes many friends, and hasn't made any move to leave the cabinet. What a discovery, that man has kept quite a few outhouses.”

Cui Qiu stopped writing and frowned.

"Better?"

"That's a lot." The man pursed his lips and racked his brains to think, and continued: "Look at those women, their demeanor is very different from ordinary women. I don't know if this is a clue or not?"

These days, there are many wives and concubines of men with status and wealth. Cui Jiao has several concubines.

Hearing what the six sons said, he swung his robe violently, glanced across at the other party, and sternly shouted: "Get out."

". Choi Sang, wait."

The thin man who was shoved by the butler grabbed the door frame and suddenly remembered something, and shouted to the angry prime minister behind the desk: "Mr. It's Princess Guangde!"

Cui Jiao, who was about to chase someone away, lowered his hands, turned his face slightly, the flickering candlelight reflected on his face, flickering on and off, and remembered something.

'Princess Guangde can live with those women without being obtrusive, unless...the women are the concubines who escaped from the palace before! '

Thinking of this possibility, he smiled even wider.

'Geng Qing, Geng Qing, even if you are good at what you do, let's see how you explain it to His Majesty. '

　The history at the end of the Tang Dynasty is quite messy, and the records are all recorded separately. Chunfeng is not familiar with this period of history. He needs to read different books back and forth to correspond to the time, place and characters. Only after they are connected together can he join the protagonist's plot , so it's a bit slow, really, I hope everyone can understand.
