Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 202, Invitation

I ate these slightly bland foods one bite at a time.

Zhang Qi looked out the window.

On the streets of the county town, there are not many people coming and going. During the time of eating, except for a few children from rich families with slightly luxurious clothes who entered the shop to eat, most of the others had hungry faces and hurried away after just looking at the house. poor people who left.

Bai Xing has already gone out, she is looking in the direction of the city gate, if Wei Qing's carriage arrives, she can inform Zhang Qi in advance.

Judging from the news sent back by the spies and merchants, Wei Qing came straight towards Jiaoli.

He used to be the captain of the central part of the Liao region, he knew all the officials in Jiaoli, and he was the emperor's confidant of the officials in Chang'an, so he definitely would not have too many ties with the officials in Jiaoli. Who is the purpose of coming this time? Zhang Qi understood very well.

He just came here for himself, and he didn't know what the purpose was.

The purpose of my coming here is to not let Wei Qing enter the Captain's Mansion again. After all, the training method of the Liaodong Army has changed now, and some things are not suitable for Han Dynasty loyalists to see.

Hasty footsteps.

Bai Xing bowed and came to Zhang Qi's side, facing Zhang Qi's back, she bowed her hands.

"Your Majesty, here we come."

The chopsticks brought to his mouth stopped, Zhang Qi put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, drank the rice wine in the glass in one gulp, and got up.

"Go, go meet him for a while."

In a 'chance encounter', Zhang Qi met the man who left an important mark in the history books.

A man in his prime, his figure is not tall, but he is very tall and straight. The beard he grows makes him look very mature. His eyes are bright, with the kind of light that has a clear goal in life.

Although he was sealed as Marquis of Guannei, Wei Qing still travels on horseback instead of on a carriage. There are a hundred and twenty people accompanying him, and among them is Huo Qubing, who is named Zhang Qi.

"Captain!"

Zhang Qi casually walked on the street, seemingly playing with Bai Xing, looking at the accessories of this shop, and tasting the snacks of that shop.

Hearing the shout, Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and saw a group of people riding horses parked on the street.

"Oh, it's Qubing."

"Who is this."

Zhang Qi looked surprised, and looked at the person who was obviously the leader of the group.

The man glanced at Huo Qubing, and asked Huo Qubing softly, "Is this person Zhang Qi?"

Huo Qubing nodded flatteringly: "Yes, uncle, although the captain may look like a scholar in ordinary times, but if there is a war, the evil spirit all over his body will make people terrified."

After speaking quickly, Huo Qubing got off his horse and ran to Zhang Qi's side.

Scratching his head, he smiled complacently and said, "Captain, I won a battle, hehe."

Huo Qubing was a little complacent, and Zhang Qi also laughed when he heard the words: "Understood, Wang Li told me after he came back that he has courage and bravery, but he still lacks experience, so he needs to ask your uncle for advice. "

After being praised by Zhang Qi, Huo Qubing was even happier than being praised by Wei Qing before, but when he heard Zhang Qi mentioning his uncle, he realized it at this time and quickly introduced it.

"Captain, this is my uncle, General Chariot, Marquis of Guannei, Wei Qing."

Then he turned to Wei Qing and said, "Uncle, this is the first general of the Liao region, the captain of the central region, the chief of the great family, Zhang Qi."

"Long time, long time."

"Disrespectful disrespect."

A treat.

In terms of identity, Zhang Qi and Wei Qing are not much different. General Chariots and Cavalry is not an official position, but a title. Whenever there is a war, there are important generals in the army sent. , similarly there are generals with light chariots and generals with strong crossbows.

Therefore, Wei Qing's current official position is still Jianzhang Supervisor, an official of the Habayashi Army. Speaking of which, in terms of official position, Wei Qing is not as good as Zhang Qiyi's 2000 shi, the Central Captain.

But in terms of status, Wei Qing is much higher than Zhang Qi. Marquis of Guannei, the celebrity around Liu Che, these two are enough to make many border officials curry favor.

The meeting place was not in Wei Qing's expectation. Originally, he wanted to meet Zhang Qi in the Duwei's Mansion in the middle of the country, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Qi directly in Jiaoli.

But he didn't think much about it, Jiaoli is the only county closest to Duwei's Mansion, so it's not unusual to meet him here.

Wei Qing turned over and got off the horse, and his bodyguards also got off the horse one after another. After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhang Qi proposed to meet in a wine shop, drink and chat.

Wei Qing readily agreed, he came this time to discuss something with Zhang Qi.

Turning around and waving his hand, he told one of the nearest Habayashi, Li Ze, "The two teams will follow on foot, and the rest will take care of their horses, and don't block the main road."

"promise!"

Li Ze bowed his hand, and then quickly gave the order. After a while, only 12 of the Habayashi men on the street were left as guards.

"this way please."

Zhang Qi stretched out his hand to invite Wei Qing to go with him.

Behind them are Bai Xing and Huo Qubing.

"Sister Bai Xing, long time no see."

Huo Qubing followed Wei Qing and greeted Bai Xing. Last time in Wuwu, apart from Zhang Qi, he was also familiar with Bai Xing. After all, Bai Xing served by Zhang Qi's side every day.

Bai Xing nodded, and his tone was a bit cold: "Long time no see, I'm a little taller than last time, like a man who can fight."

Bai Xing's tone was cold, Huo Qubing had long been used to it, he had never seen Bai Xing smile at anyone except Zhang Qi.

However, after hearing Bai Xing's praise, Huo Qubing was very happy in his heart. The young man won the battle, so he just wanted to hear the praise.

After walking for a while, the group returned to the restaurant where Zhang Qi had eaten before.

Greeting the shopkeeper to serve a few jars of rice wine and some appetizers, Zhang Qi and Wei Qing sat on opposite sides.

Zhang Qi has long been used to kneeling and sitting, so there is no problem in etiquette.

When the wine was served, Zhang Qi said while pouring the wine.

"General Wei is here to pay Li some important matters? If there is anything Qi can help, please tell me."

Wei Qing thanked him, and picked up a glass full of wine: "It's nothing important. The last time you fought in Youbeiping, thanks to the help of Captain Zhang Duwei, you were able to defeat the Huns so quickly. Zhongqing respects you for this glass of wine." Captain."

After finishing speaking, Wei Qing drank the wine as soon as he raised his head.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi gave a toast in return.

After drinking, the two started chatting. Wei Qing didn't immediately reveal his intention to come, but talked with Zhang Qi about the situation in Liao.

Zhang Qi also chatted impeccably.

Huo Qubing accompanied him, and he became bored after a while. He knew what Wei Qing wanted to do this time, but looking at it, Wei Qing would not speak for a while.

He simply stopped waiting at Zhang Qi and Wei Qing's table, went to Li Ze's table, and started eating.

After drinking for three rounds, both of Zhang Qi's faces turned red, which was stimulated by alcohol.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wei Qing asked Zhang Qi: "I don't know if the captain is willing to go back to Chang'an with a certain person. Your Majesty wants the captain to lead an army."
