The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 154
Mingchun Gate is located to the east of Chang'an, and the inner city is to the north of Xingqing Palace. Even if it is close to the palace, it is not as good as the Mingde Gate facing south, which is still the real "gate" of the entire prosperous capital.

When the carriage came here, pedestrians and business travelers were being questioned to enter and exit the side door. Outside the long queue, there were shopkeepers and hawkers selling odd snacks.

Amidst the noise, Dachun, who was driving the car, suddenly said outside: "Dazhu, there are officers and soldiers outside, and the leader is still looking this way."

Geng Qing opened the curtain, and a group of cavalry went out of the city in a row. The leader was wearing armor and carrying a long soldier. He met the eyes of Geng Qing behind the curtain. The young man smiled and cupped his hands: "The captain is going where?"

It was Shang Rang who led the cavalry out of the city, and he laughed.

"Wherever Geng Xiang goes, I will go there!"

Between the city gates, the two said politely in a blunt tone, and then ignored each other.Right now the soldiers and horses are coming in and out, and the nearby people and merchants hurriedly avoid them. Amidst the noise, the carriage led the guards under his command and left the city gate together with Shang Rang's cavalry. The purpose of both of them is actually the same, which is to draw Zhu Wen over , in a sense, the other party is now a favorite, whether it is Geng Qing or the Taiwei Shangrang, it is best to greet him as soon as possible.

"Unexpectedly, I went back to my old job"

Outside, Dachun approached the curtain, a little confused, "What kind of old business? Didn't we farm before? Can you say something that I can understand."

"Driving well, don't ask if you don't understand, it will only make things worse if you talk about your not-so-intelligent head." Geng Qing put away his thoughts, smiled and raised his hand to push back the face outside the curtain, the carriage wobbled inside, Go to the road to Bashang with the guards behind.

When they arrived at the Shili Pavilion, Shang Rang's team also stopped here, and asked the cavalry team to dismount and stand nearby. Seeing Geng Qing who got off the car at the side of the road, he groaned, walked into the pavilion, turned his face away, Da Ma Jindao sat down.

"The Taiwei also came to greet Du Yuhou?"

Geng Qing has always been thick-skinned, even if he is an enemy, he can still pull the other party and say a few words with a smile. From the perspective of people who don't know, they think that the two are friends and the relationship is not bad.

After leaving the pavilion, he lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down with a smile on the opposite side, "Hehe. It seems that the news of the Taiwei is not slower than the truth. By the way, the relationship between the Taiwei and Du Yuhou in the past was good. "

"This is a private matter, so it's inconvenient to discuss it with Geng."

Shang Rang is not weak in martial arts, and it is not impossible to kill Geng Qing, but the opponent's appearance of confidence makes him a little jealous, especially the guards who are only a few steps outside the pavilion, they are all elite.

"President Geng seems to have a good relationship with Defense Envoy Meng. Even elite soldiers are sent to Prime Minister Geng as guards."

"The relationship is too good. I didn't want the truth, but he forced it. The kindness is hard to turn down, and the kindness is hard to turn down!"

"Ha ha."

When Shang Rang saw Geng Qing's expression of smiling and clasping his fists while talking, he felt angry in his heart. It was really a villain's success, which made him sneer twice as a response, and stopped talking to the other party.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Geng Qing smiled and fell silent. After a short while, Ling Qi, who had been sent to wait in front of the two sides, rushed back and drove side by side on the official road without letting anyone else. Come, the voice said almost at the same time.

"Report to Geng Xiang (Taiwei), Duke Yuhou Zhu Wen has brought his guards back to the city, less than two miles away from here."

"Go down and rest."

Geng Qing nodded to his Ling Qi and waited for them to leave. He and Shang Rang glanced at each other again. The latter snorted, turned in one direction, and turned his face away.

Sure enough, within half an hour, the sound of horseshoes came from the end of the official road, dozens of fast horses galloped, and a long cloud of smoke and dust was stirred up between the roads, sweeping towards this side.

"drive!"

"Drive! Drive!"

The sound of shouting came one after another. From a distance, the figure headed by the cavalry team seemed to have seen the crowd gathered in the gazebo. He raised his hand to slow down the soldiers behind him. The robed figure laughed loudly, and then slammed his whip again, shouting, "Drive—"

Geng Qing glanced at Shang Rang who got up and walked out of the pavilion, and raised his hand to summon a soldier, "Go to my car and take out the wine and cups."

Then he turned his head to look at Shang Rang.

"The Taiwei is empty-handed, and he is riding a horse. He must have no drinking utensils. Why don't we have a drink together."

"No. I have this!"

Shang Rang patted the sheepskin wine bag hanging from his waist. He was about to continue, but Geng Qing, who was opposite him, didn't want to listen. He walked away and went straight to meet the flying horse.

"This traitor, you started the conversation. Let me finish, right?!"

Shang Rang gritted his teeth, withdrew his hand and rushed to meet him there. Hearing the sound of 'wow', the rough man who came from flying horse tightened the reins, turned his horse and got down, opened his arms and laughed loudly to meet him. Going up to Geng Qing, without waiting for him to bow his hands to salute, he pulled him over and patted his shoulder with his thick palm.

After saying: "Good job!", Zhu Wen took two steps back and clasped his fists heavily: "Marquis of Duyu Zhu Wen, pay homage to Mr. Geng!"

"Brother Zhu is making fun of me. This way, please, sit in the gazebo. There is wine in the car." Geng Qing made a gesture of invitation, and in the corner of his eyes, Zhu Wen got off the horse, and there was another man in blue and white robes. The scholar was smiling at him, no need to guess who it was, Geng Qing cupped his hands again: "Brother Xie please too."

Haha!

Xie Tong let go of the reins, straightened his robe and came over to return the salute: "I can invite Xiang Xiang, so I can drink two more glasses later."

The three of them walked back, and Shang Rang over there walked out of the pavilion, clasping fists at Zhu Wen like in the army.

"Why does Marquis Duyu see Prime Minister Geng alone, but not me, the Taiwei?"

Zhu Wen, who originally wanted to joke, suddenly changed his face slightly, and it seemed that the other party looked a little bad. He called Geng Qing his husband, but it was just a joke between the two of them before.

Good guy, after victory and triumph, let yourself meet the other party. Is this better than an official?

Zhu Wen just raised his hand casually, as a gesture of recognition, beckoned Xie Tong, called Geng Qing into the gazebo, Dachun had already set up the wine utensils, and the soldiers on the side filled the cups one by one with the wine jugs.

"Captain, please."

Geng Qing pointed to a glass of wine on the table to signal, Shang Rang looked at the glass, cautiously did not take it, but took off the wine bag around his waist, and raised it in front of several people: "I am a member of the army, Just like in the army."

He smiled and looked at Zhu Wen, only to realize that the other's face had changed again, becoming even uglier.

"Brother Zhu, this is you."

"I'm in a bad mood, Taiwei, so don't ask." Zhu Wen held up the cup and touched Geng Qing and Xie Tong, and the monk asked him to raise his glass as a gesture. After drinking the wine in one gulp, he pulled Geng Qing over and asked in a low voice: "You are here to meet the wind, why bother to bring him in, I didn't get along very well with this man in the Rebel Army in the past."

"I didn't call him."

"Then I understand." Zhu Wen came to his senses and probably understood what was going on. He stood back and smiled, with his usual voice: "Mr. Geng, do you still remember what Zhu told you when he left last time?"

Seeing Geng Qing shaking his head, he smiled even wider, and wiped his beard, "How can you forget such things, Zhu has searched for several in Dengzhou, appearance, figure, tsk tsk, he has not enjoyed it until now, just waiting to come back, Together with Geng Xiang!"

"What's the happy event?"

Over there, Shang Rang took a full sip from the mouth of the bag, and naturally didn't want to lag behind what was going on, "How about asking Shang to follow?"

Zhu Wen was whispering into Geng Qing's ear, and he was laughing and talking to the point of interest, you know, he had never touched a woman along the way, firstly, he was in the army, secondly, the most important thing in war, when he arrived, he won After Dengzhou, he went to search for women. She was still married, with good figure and appearance, but it took a lot of time.

Now hearing Shang Rang's words, she raised her hand and waved towards him.

"You and I are not of the same rank, what is the Taiwei going to do, watching a play?"

The tone was a bit aggressive, which made Shang Rang slightly stunned, and quickly apologized and wanted to say a few words to ease the relationship, but Zhu Wen refused, and hurriedly pulled Xie Tong, and they got into Geng Qing's carriage and drove to the city together.

Looking at the carriages escorted by soldiers and horses, Shang Rang suddenly threw the wine bag in his hand to the ground and gritted his teeth.

"Straight!"

After cursing, he bent down to pick up the wine bag, and cursed again: "Zizi, there are still two—"
