The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 164 Brothers
The wind blew across the long street, and the general lying on the ground crookedly stared in horror at the slightly swaying Yu Wangzhang in front of him, and swallowed instinctively. The pain in his abdomen didn't seem that important now. .

The team of about 500 people over there saw the main general being beaten, and they rushed over like a tide. The hundreds of Shatuo cavalry who blocked the street were all elites. The knife was raised over his shoulder, confronting them, and it was a white and cold light in the rain.

"Don't bother me to talk about the past with my brother, take your general and get out of here!"

Li Cunxiao lifted his cloak and strode to the eaves, with Geng Qing hidden behind him, his voice was like a tiger's roar, shaking the long street, the five hundred soldiers stopped immediately, their faces panicked, and their ears hurt even more buzzing.

The lead green rain curtain seemed to be skewed at this moment.

The atmosphere was tense immediately, the scholar Xie Tong rubbed his ears and ran out of the eaves quickly, came to the middle of the rain and stopped him, "They are both generals who suppress thieves and serve His Majesty, there may be some misunderstanding in the middle, the two generals calmed down for the time being .”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pulled Zhu Zhen up, and kept winking at him. Li Cunxiao's name is not very famous, but he had heard that the other party only led more than 2000 cavalry to raid the camp twice in a row, and his martial arts were natural. Feet, Xie Tong is considered to have learned martial arts, and he can see the way inside.

"General Zhu, the matter at hand cannot be violated, just tell the truth when you go back, and don't be brave."

Zhu Zhen glanced at him, stretched out her hand and pushed the scholar away, "This is my duty." Then she walked over again pressing the handle of the knife, but with the previous kick, now he was vigilant, and pulled out the steel knife at his waist, "I I am following orders, and if I don’t complete them, it will be difficult for me to go back to work.”

As he spoke, he was about to raise his hand, signaling the five hundred soldiers behind him to surround the house, but the subordinates behind him did not dare to move. Among the hundreds of Shatuo cavalry, dozens of cavalry in the back drew their bows and mounted feather arrows Targeting them.

Zhu Zhen, who was outside the eaves, turned her head to look at her subordinates, her face was horrified, she turned around and kicked a soldier, "Defy the general's order, believe it or not, I will kill you!"

He kicked another person, and there was a sudden collision of nails behind him. Turning around, a huge fist in the bottom of his eyes magnified, and hit Zhu Zhen's face, sending the person flying into the rain with a bang, hitting the densely packed pace over there. In the pawn queue, several soldiers were smashed to the ground together.

Li Cunxiao lowered his hands, and then his tall figure turned around and dragged his cloak back under the eaves.

"Didn't you hear what a certain family said just now? Hesitate for a moment, I will kill you first, and then find your family's Jiedushi—"

Zhu Zhen, who was lying on the wet and cold ground, was so painful that she couldn't lift her face, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go!"

The five hundred soldiers nearby seemed to be pardoned, and one of the guards immediately helped his general up and carried him on his back, and hurriedly fled along the street with the others in a panic.

Humph.

Li Cunxiao stared indifferently at the backs of the distant figures, snorted coldly, turned around, saw Geng Qing looking at him with a smile, the coldness on his face melted immediately, he laughed, cupped his fists and said: "I made my brother laugh. "

"What are you laughing at? If Cunxiao wasn't here today, I'm afraid my brother would be put under house arrest by them."

"Actually, since my younger brother is not here, the elder brother should also deal with it?"

Geng Qing smiled and said nothing, walked to the side of the threshold, stretched out his hands and spread his hands inward, "Go, let's talk when we go home."

"Brother please first!"

Li Cunxiao clasped his fists and spread his hands. Seeing that Geng Qing was not moving, he simply pressed on his back and pushed him in. Geng Qing's body is not as strong as his. Dachun and Zhao Hongjun went in together.

In the courtyard, old man Wang Jinqiu and Geng had already stood under the eaves when they heard the commotion outside. When they saw a figure in armor with a knife hanging on them, they carefully looked at the face under the iron helmet for several times. They couldn't remember the name for a while, so they had to "Ahhh" twice, quickly asked Li Cunxiao to sit down.

"This house is not ours. It's very sunny and dark inside. Let's sit outside." Wang Jinqiu asked Qiao Niang and Bai Yunxiang to move a few stools out and put them under the eaves, "Wait a minute Don't go, stay for dinner."

As he spoke, he dragged the two women into the kitchen together.

Here, Geng Qing asked someone to make tea, put it on the round table, and went to the busy parents, Qiaoniang, and Bai Yunxiang who were busy in the kitchen and said, "Mother, this is An County Captain, don't you remember? But it's called Li Cunxiao now."

"Let me just say, it looks familiar."

The woman put down the rag, seemed to recall some past events, and wiped the water stains on her hands with a smile, "I still remember that you often came to the village and called me Zhuzi, and the whole village could hear that roar, tsk tsk, I haven't seen you in a few years Now, he is stronger and taller than before."

Being praised by the woman, Li Cunxiao who was holding a teacup felt a little embarrassed. He and Geng Qing were called brothers, and the woman was basically his mother.

Looking at Wang Jinqiu who was busy around the stove, Li Cunxiao suddenly sighed: "Brother, I am so lucky that my parents are still alive."

Knowing the situation in his home, Geng Qing patted his shoulder, and immediately turned his head and yelled towards the stove.

"Mother, I want to ask you something, do you mind having one more son?"

The woman straightened her waist and looked at the majestic military uniform and the elegant green robe under the eaves. She stroked her hair, "Aren't you two brothers? Why do you ask me this mother, right old man?"

The old man Geng was standing next to the stove, his cheeks were thin, but he nodded energetically.

"I don't think there are too many sons."

The old couple asked and answered, which made the second daughter, who was burning the fire in the stove and washing rice, purse her lips and chuckle.

Outside the kitchen, Li Cunxiao stood there blankly, staring blankly at the old couple, suddenly there was a smile on his face, his armor clattered softly, he got up and went to the yard, braving the rain, he arched his hands heavily, and knelt down.

"Father and mother are above, and I will be respected by Cunxiao."

Ouch.

Over there, Wang Jinqiu quickly dropped the shovel, wiped his hands and came out quickly, helping the kneeling young man up, with a smile on his face that could hardly be concealed.

"Get up, get up quickly, if you recognize it, you will recognize it. There is no such thing as a kneeling pillar in our house. Come here and laugh!"

Geng Qing sat there smiling even more proudly, and finally put down the teacup, and went to pull Li Cunxiao back to sit down. Just now he just wanted to make a joke and relax his mood. Uncomfortable, but Li Cunxiao really took it seriously.

However, this is also good, there are many brothers like this, I have to wake up with a smile in my dreams.

The rain hanging on the house dripped and weaved a water curtain. The two talked for a while, and then Li Cunxiao brought up the idea of ​​letting Geng Qing go back to the military camp with him.

"Then Zhu Wen sent the general to come here, obviously he didn't have a good heart. If the elder brother stays here again, if Cun Xiao is not here, I'm afraid he will come here again to embarrass him."

"It's a good idea to go to the military camp, but what should parents do? There are dozens of people in the courtyard, big and small, old and young, and if you take them there together, other generals in the army will criticize you."

Geng Qing interrupted his thoughts, took a sip of tea, and looked at the rain falling outside the eaves, "He is a little jealous of me. Chang'an has indeed done too sharply during this period, so outsiders can't see it." He knows the details, so he will naturally have other thoughts in his mind, but I can't just leave like this, drag my family to your barracks, do you want Huang Chao to be suppressed? This is your chance to earn military achievements and gain fame, and you can't just leave because of Bro, I missed this."

In fact, Geng Qing still had some things to say, and Li Cunxiao's performance outside the courtyard just now was a bit too sharp, and his temperament seemed fierce and arrogant. This kind of fierce general usually does not end well in the end.

If you really want to persuade the other party to correct it, I am afraid it will be useless. Instead, it is not good to mention too many points and cause variables.

'At that time, do something quietly to avoid his historical fate. '

The sound of rain fell, and the courtyard was quiet for a while, Li Cunxiao looked at his brother with some emotion, how could he not feel the warmth of care in what he said just now.

"Brother." He stood up, cupped his fists and bowed, "Cun Xiao is determined to exterminate the yellow thieves, bring his head back to play with brother, and then bring it to the emperor for credit!"

"It's just that after Cunxiao leaves, what will we do here?"

Geng Qing shook his head, smiled and pushed him back to sit down: "You don't have to worry about it, I have some friendship with Zhu Wen, and it's not enough to tear your face, let alone you are still here, the harder you fight on the battlefield, the more he will Don’t dare to mess around, as for now.”

He hehe laughed twice.

"The business in Chang'an is over, and it's time to relax for a while. After you leave, I will close the door to thank the guests, and stay at home to read some classics and write some good words."

"Well, brother's handwriting really needs more practice." Li Cunxiao frowned and nodded seriously.

"you"

Geng Qing froze for a moment, originally wanted to put on a pretense, but was pushed over by his words, and couldn't even speak the rest of the words after that, the two of them stared at each other for a while, and laughed out loud one after another.

Soon, the sky was getting dark and the heavy rain turned into a drizzle. Lanterns were raised in the courtyard, and three tables were lined up under the eaves, which were full of people. What happened in Feihu County back then, he forgot the time when he left the other party behind and ran away after picking up the soft ones.

When Dachun yelled to wake him up, Zhao Hongjun shuddered immediately, looked at Li Cunxiao's murderous eyes, shivered and retracted the elbow that was resting on the opponent's shoulder, and moved back step by step He buried his head in his seat and dared not make a sound.It made everyone laugh.

Haha
woohoo!

Laughter and rain intertwined in the courtyard, Geng Qing held the wine glass and touched Cun Xiao who turned his face lightly, watching the figures walking in the courtyard, lanterns, joking parents, brothers, squatting on the ground and staring at others The pieces of meat on the chopsticks, the screaming red fox.

Smiling, he poured the drink into his stomach in one gulp.

"Such excitement is humane"
