Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 278 Who gave you the guts?

As more and more people from all walks of life gathered together, not only the street where the palace was located, but also the entire Lu County became more and more lively.

Those sitting in the surrounding pavilions soon saw horse-drawn carriages and bullock carts gathering.

Just by looking at the horses and oxen pulling the carts, you can tell that the people sitting on them are not trivial. The coat colors of the tall horses are obviously specially selected, and judging from the direction of their movement, they have also undergone special training. .

"Good guy, this kind of solid-colored horse is not something that ordinary people can use, but there are so many of them all at once."

"Actually, it's easy to tell. You see, most of the people who came here were celebrities. Now these are dignitaries. After all, this palace dinner not only invited celebrities and elders, but also many dignitaries, so it is a grand event. .”

Everyone upstairs was discussing there, when suddenly a sharp-eyed person pointed to a carriage and exclaimed in a low voice: "Look at those two pulling horses!"

Everyone looked around and saw two horses. However, this horse looked stronger and had nothing special about it. Many people were puzzled and looked at the one who made the first noise.

This man was quite sensible and said succinctly: "When these two horses are marching, they hardly need the supervision of the grooms, they will move forward on their own, and they also know how to dodge during the process. These are clearly war horses!"

"War horse?"

When the others listened, they all looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

This man obviously knew a lot, and saw everyone's doubts, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "The so-called war horses are not just that they have stronger endurance, run faster, and are more powerful, but also that these horses can be used in the army and on the battlefield. He dodged by himself, so he could charge and kill, especially before Chen Hou pushed the stirrup. According to ordinary generals, just by tightening their legs to stay on the horse, they would have already tried their best, let alone fighting on the horse with a sword and gun. , so this war horse has to be able to dodge on its own. You can also imagine how much this kind of horse is worth and how precious it is in the army. But if it is used to pull a cart, then the status of the person sitting in this cart is definitely extraordinary."

After hearing this man's explanation, most of the people were suddenly enlightened, and then started to sigh with emotion.

"So that's what happened. This war horse has such a saying."

"I've heard similar things before, but it's not as clear as what I heard today."

"This brother knows a lot, I dare to ask his name."

……

These people asked quickly, and the man immediately smiled and said: "A certain family is named Ran, and their humble name is not worth mentioning. They have been military households for generations. This time, I also heard the news here, so I brought my nephew here to see and see."

When others heard that they were just ordinary military households, their attitude became a little lower, and their attention shifted to the carriage again. Then they saw the Mi Jun getting off the carriage, smiling and bowing to Liu Mo, and then he was Introduced into the house.

At the same time, another person walked in with Mi Jun.

"This person must be Mi Jun. Only such a person can have such a pomp."

"Huh? The one who is following Mi Jun seems to be Zhu Jing."

"Zhu Jing? The nephew of General Zhu Shou? Why did he come with Mi Jun? Aren't there rumors that there was a conflict between Mi Jun and Zhu Shou?"

While everyone was talking, Mi Jun and Zhu Jing walked in one after another, but they did not immediately go to the empty space where the dinner was, but wanted to go to see King Lu first.

Based on his official position, status and background, this proposal was not special. Liu Mo immediately arranged for someone to lead the way and led Mi Jun deeper into the palace.

However, Zhu Jing, who came with Mi Jun, naturally did not receive this treatment. He was not on the invitation list. He came with Mi Jun, and he was not qualified to meet King Lu, so of course he would be excluded.

But before Mi Jun left, he specifically said in Zhu Jing's ear: "You know my purpose, go ahead and play your role."

A look of horror flashed across Zhu Jing's face.

Mi Jun patted his shoulder affectionately and laughed softly: "What are you afraid of? No matter how famous Chen Zhi is, he has no real power. There are two generals with real power behind you. Show your magnanimity. In this matter, you and I have the same goal, I want credit, and you want to regain your face, then go ahead and do it boldly, no matter what, I will not ignore this matter."

His words finally calmed Zhu Jing down a bit, and then he gained a bit of confidence, nodded at Zhu Jingjing, watched him leave, followed him and turned around, and walked to the courtyard where the banquet was held, wandering around, looking around. The target was quickly found in the crowd——

This target is naturally Chen Zhi.

At this moment, Chen Zhi was surrounded by a group of young people chatting.

"Brother Chen, it turns out that the sentence in your article has a second meaning. When I read the article before, I felt that it was unfinished, but I didn't think about it deeply. I can only find out by asking you for advice today."

"Yes, the connotation contained in this article is really admirable."

"I don't know, has Brother Chen had any inspiration recently? When will he write another article?"

"Brother Lu, there is something wrong with what you said. Such profound articles often have profound meanings, but they are also difficult to write. They need to brew for a long time, mix all kinds of insights into it, and then work hard to write it. How can it be done in a moment? ?”

"You can't say that. Today, all the talented people have gathered together, and it can be said that the literary thoughts are dazzling. Maybe Brother Chen will be able to express his feelings and finish a piece during this dinner."

Listening to the words of the people around him, Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile and said: "Everyone praises me, but there is no such thing. That article was just a flash of inspiration. After that, there was not so much writing." "Humble! Too much. modesty!"

"Yes, Brother Chen is so humble."

"That's not okay to say."

A group of people laughed.

Among this group of people, one or two are celebrities who received invitations, and more are accompanying people—each invitation is limited to one person to accompany, such as the military belt of Mi Mi. He went to Zhu Jing, and Chen Zhi brought Chen Wu.

However, this group of people who were brought here are not simple people. Most of them are close descendants of those who were invited. They are precious human resources in themselves, not to mention that there are still people here who have received invitations. young celebrities.

Those who can get invitations from the palace are not ordinary people, and as soon as they come here, of course they also have the idea of ​​​​making friends with others and building connections. Naturally, Chen Zhi, who has been in the limelight recently, became the target, and soon they were surrounded. A group of people became a small focus.

Seeing those people talking and laughing with Chen Zhi, Zhu Jing couldn't help but feel angry. He also recalled the previous scenes of being educated and scolded by Chen Zhi. The fear in his heart was gradually suppressed, and a fierce light gradually appeared in his eyes.

Thinking of what Mi Jun had just said, Zhu Jing suddenly had an idea.

"This Chen Zhi is carefree. I have encountered obstacles and lost all my prestige along the way, but he has made great progress all the way, and now he is famous in half of Qingzhou. How unfair! Since the Mi army wants to use me, why don't I borrow a knife to kill someone and provoke him first? If we let him face off against Chen Zhi, he still has his uncle anyway!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Jing's eyes wandered again, looking for opportunities.

This provocation to make trouble out of nothing is also very particular. As a famous dandy in Qingzhou, how could Zhu Jing not know this truth? He must always follow the trend and not be too obtrusive.

"This opportunity, opportunity..."

Suddenly, Zhu Jing saw the little book boy Chen Wu leaving behind Chen Zhi. It was obvious that he had received instructions from Chen Zhi to do something.

Zhu Jing rolled his eyes and followed suit.

Soon, Chen Wu came back carrying a tray with several cups of tea on it.

Zhu Jing walked over without any doubt, but when he came to Chen Wu's side, he suddenly swayed and tripped one of his feet directly under Chen Wu's feet. The little book boy couldn't react when he encountered such a sudden change, and he immediately He fell forward, and the cup in his hand flew out.

Zhu Jing turned around and walked towards a cup of tea.

Whoa!
The cup shattered to the ground, and Zhu Jing also dipped tea on his body as he wished.

"oops!"

"what!"

Chen Wu and Zhu Jing spoke almost at the same time, and then they heard Zhu Jing shout angrily: "What a little beast, you are so careless, you are so reckless, don't let me teach you a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face!
Poor little book boy Chen Wu fell to the ground with a dazed look on his face. Before he could recover, he was slapped in the face!

No matter how dandy Zhu Jing was, he was from a wealthy family. His uncle was a general, and he also practiced bow and horse martial arts. Although this slap did not use all his strength, it was still a heavy blow to the thin body of Chen Wu.

Immediately, Chen Wu felt dizzy and fell down again, but he also knew he was afraid. At the same time, he held his hands on his head, making a sign of fear.

But Zhu Jing was deliberately looking for trouble, and there was no way he would let him go. He kept shouting about his expensive clothes and loss of dignity, and when he raised his hand, he was about to slap him again, but his hand was suddenly caught!

Zhu Jing struggled for a while, but couldn't break free. He turned his head and looked, who else could it be if it wasn't Chen Zhi?

Just in time!

Zhu Jing smiled secretly, frowned, and said, "Chen Zhi? What are you doing? You want to stand up for this reckless boy? Who are you?"

Chen Zhi just glanced at the scene and said something, already knowing in his heart that he was clearly trying to cause trouble, and then he punched Zhu Jing in the face to the surprise of everyone.

The strength of his fist was not small. After all, he had been working hard recently and supplemented it with medicinal food. Zhu Jing immediately had stars in his eyes and took two steps back. Then his nose felt sore and tears flowed down - this It's an instinctive reaction, out of control at all.

Only then did Chen Zhi put away his fists and said calmly: "Since I have followed you, this book boy has been loyal, smart and eager to learn. How qualified he is! Even I don't want to scold you. How dare you take action? Who gave you the courage?" , Zhu Jing.”

At this time, the people who had been surrounding Chen Zhi also came over, and when they heard Zhu Jing's name, their expressions changed drastically.

Another person came to Chen Zhi and whispered: "Brother Chen, how can you fight with him!"

　Change it first!
