At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 60 Old Wei's Second Spring
Li Jing, with the word word pharmacist, was born in Sanyuan County, Yongzhou, and belongs to the branch of the Li family in Shaanxi. His grandfather Li Chongyi served as an official in Yinzhou, and his father Li Quan also served as the prefect of Zhaojun. He came from a proper official family. Li Jing was also the nephew of Han Qinhu, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty. Although his background was not prominent, it was still very good.

Moreover, Li Jing himself is also very good, with both civil and military skills, a burly appearance, and proficient in the art of war. Even his uncle Han Qinhu was full of praise. Yang Su also joked that Li Jing would eventually take his place.

It can be seen from this that Li Jing is indeed quite outstanding, and his family background is not bad, so he should be doing very well, but the fact is just the opposite.

As the saying goes: Stand at thirty, not be confused at forty, and know the destiny at fifty.

Li Jing has passed his forties now, but he is still just a small driver, Wailang, with a rank of sixth grade, and this is still a job with no real power, which is really shocking. If Yang Su and Niu Hong are still alive, they probably have a face Was slapped and swollen.

Speaking of which, why did Li Jing get along so badly?Could it be that he has a false name and no real talent?
In fact, it is not true. It is true that he himself is too upright, does not know how to please his superiors, and offended Duan Wenjin, Minister of the Ministry of War, so even though he is talented, he has not been able to use it. He has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and he is just a member of the driving department. Uiro.

However, recently Li Jing finally got an errand from Beijing, which was responsible for transporting a batch of military leather to Zhuojun. It stands to reason that such a simple escort task basically has no chance to display his talents, but Li Jing cherishes it very much.

Twenty days ago, Li Jing led [-] Sui soldiers, plus [-] servants, and escorted [-] soldiers in military vehicles. Cheng visited the prefect Lu Chisong, and Wei Zheng, who was in charge of receiving him, happened to have a relationship with him.

Let’s talk about Gao Bufan’s thinking after hearing Wei Zheng’s introduction of Li Jing’s situation, he stood up and gave the latter a deep bow and said, “Thank you Mr. Wei for your guidance, if I can persuade Li Jing today, I will successfully kill the gangster Zhang Jinzhi , to get rid of the evil for the people of Bohai County, there must be a credit for Mr.

Hearing this, Wei Zheng said warmly in his heart: "Young Master Gao is eager to be righteous at such a young age. He is indeed a role model for my generation. I have lived vainly for decades, but I am not as good as Young Master Gao. I am really ashamed. If this is the case, then I will help others." To help you to the end, you might as well accompany Mr. Gao for a walk."

Gao Bufan said happily after hearing the words: "I do what I want, I dare not invite you!"

Wei Zheng chuckled, but immediately said in embarrassment: "It's just that I don't have a mount."

Gao Bufan immediately said: "This is simple, is there a place to sell horses in the city?"

"Yes, there are, but they are all bad horses, not good for riding, anyway, this time, I have to borrow a horse from the mansion even if I have to show my old face." Wei Zheng gritted his teeth.

Gao Bufan hastily said: "My steed, the steed, can carry two people. If Mr. Wei doesn't mind, you can ride with me!"

But Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not proper for two men to share a ride together, let alone be looked down upon by Li Jing, Mr. Gao, wait a moment, I will go back when I go!" After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

Gao Bufan had no choice but to sit and wait, and settle the account by the way, including Wei Zheng's previous credit, but after waiting for almost incense time, Wei Zheng still didn't return. The old Chen who was standing next to him reminded him with a smile: "Young man, old man Wei this person, although he looks very respectable as a Muliao in the prefect's mansion, he is actually a bastard and has no reputation at all. How could he borrow a horse from the mansion? It is probably an excuse, and it is useless for you to wait. Wait."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a neighing sound, and Wei Zheng appeared at the entrance of the alley riding a black horse. Lao Chen's face froze immediately, and he lowered his voice with a smirk, "I didn't say that!"

"Master Gao, it's not too late, let's go, the city gate is about to close!" Wei Zheng rode on his horse and waved loudly.

Gao Bufan quickly jumped on the big green horse, Wei Zheng didn't stop, and immediately ran towards the north gate of the city, and glanced back from time to time, obviously flustered.Gao Bufan felt weird, but he didn't ask any further questions, he just rode his horse to catch up, and rushed out of the north gate before the city gate closed.

The two rode for a while after they left the city. Wei Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down a little. Gao Bufan glanced at the corner of the former's mouth, which still had a trace of blood, and asked with a frown, "Mr. Wei is injured?"

Wei Zheng looked a little unnatural, wiped the corners of his mouth and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's just a punch. The lowly slave dog who guarded the stable looked down on him, so he refused to borrow the horse. In a rage, I woke up with my old punch and took it away." A horse gallops off."

Gao Bufan couldn't help sweating, this person is really a typical cold-faced and warm-hearted, a little embarrassed and said: "Will the prefect blame Mr. Wei?"

"Don't worry about him, I don't keep my master here, I have a place to keep my master!" Wei Zheng said with emotion.

As the so-called scholar dies for his confidant, Wei Zheng, who is over [-] years old, is so passionate about Gao Bufan's "Mr. Wei" today that he even plans to give up his job.

Gao Bufan was greatly moved, and blurted out: "I am born with a talent that will be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone. If Mr. Wei has nowhere to go in the future, he will go to Feiying Racecourse to look for him. Although the temple is small, it may not be able to accommodate him." Mr. Wei is a big Buddha, but it is not a problem to support his family with three meals a day."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's eyes lit up and he said: "I am born to be useful. I will come back after all my money is gone. Mr. Gao is indeed quick-witted. No wonder he wrote such a masterpiece as "Ask the Wine to the Moon". Haha, what a gentleman said. Once you go out, it's hard to catch up with four horses, if you are kicked out by the prefect, you will definitely go to Mr. Gao's house for a meal."

Gao Bufan also laughed and said, "I can't ask for it!"

Talking and laughing, the two rode their horses and galloped north. Wei Zheng's suppressed mood for many years was released at this moment, a rare pride surged up in his chest, he was full of ambition and refreshed all the time!
The sudden change in Wei Zheng's state of mind was not because of Gao Bufan's "appreciation". To be honest, the current Gao Bufan is not qualified to appreciate others, but Gao Bufan's respect made Wei Zheng regain his confidence , called out the second "spring", he has gone all out today, trying his best to help Gao Bufan accomplish things, in order to repay his insight and knowledge, and by the way, prove to everyone that he is not a useless person!

Wei Zheng's predictions were right, Li Jing's troop of vehicles couldn't move fast at all, after about fifty miles of chasing, they saw a convoy of vehicles struggling on the official road from a distance.

"Please look, Mr. Gao, that is Li Jing's convoy. The vehicles are full of military leather, a total of [-] pieces. They must be sent to Zhuojun within the specified time. If you miss the deadline, you will be punished. Fortunately, as far as I know, Li Jing There is plenty of time." Wei Zheng pointed at the team in front of him while riding his horse.

Gao Bufan looked up, and couldn't help but nodded secretly, he was a professional soldier in his previous life, and he also studied military books such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", so he could see that although the escort team in front seemed loose, they echoed back and forth. Loose and tight on the inside, well-organized, you can tell at a glance that the leader is a veteran.

Li Jing was a late bloomer and had little performance in the Sui Dynasty. After surrendering to Li and Tang, he began to shine. He fought for decades and was almost invincible. He was like a god of war. , Half of the country in the Tang Dynasty was defeated by him, and the most classic battle was the surprise attack on Dingxiang with three thousand elite cavalry, killing the Turkic Jieli Khan.

Thinking that he was about to meet the God of War in the history books, Gao Bufan couldn't help being a little excited. To avoid misunderstanding, the two approached the military chariot team in front of them, slowed down their horses, and approached slowly.

The Sui soldiers in front had obviously noticed them a long time ago, and three scouts rode horses to greet them quickly, one of them held a bow, the other held up a shield, and the third held a spear, both offensive and defensive, and extremely vigilant.

Gao Bufan couldn't help secretly praising, as the saying goes, one can tell the whole leopard at a glance, just judging from the performance of the three scouts, Li Jingzhi's soldiers are indeed very skilled.

"My humble servant is Wei Zheng, a member of Lord Lu's mansion, Governor of Bohai County. Please meet Mr. Li, a member of the driving department!" Wei Zheng tactfully reined in his horse and shouted.

The three scouts looked at each other when they heard the words, one of them ordered Gao Bufan and the two not to move rashly, while the other scout turned his horse and flew to report to the Chinese army.

Soon, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a general drove his horse from the team. Gao Bufan fixed his eyes and saw this general, about 40 years old, wearing armor, with a tall and straight figure, holding a knife upside down in his hand. He has a long spear and is very imposing. Although there are a few crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, it can be seen that he should be a handsome guy when he was young. It is no wonder that the red-haired girl would run around at night for her!
This person is none other than Li Jing, a member of the driving department, he rode his horse up to Gao Bufan and Gao Bufan, he obviously recognized Wei Zheng, he cupped his hands slightly and said, "So it's Brother Wei, what can I tell you?"

After finishing speaking, his steady gaze swept across Gao Bufan beside him!
