Ji Tang

Chapter 1168 Encounter!

"Chai Shao? Why are you here?"

When he saw the person in charge, how could Qiao Shiwang not recognize him?They were both consorts. When they were in Chang'an, they would go to the palace to pay homage to Emperor Gaozu every festival.

Since the death of Gaozu's official residence, they have all been away from home and rarely get together.But they had a life-long friendship back then years ago. How could they not be happy when they met for the first time?

"Old Qiao, you haven't gained courage in a few years. Do you even dare to stop me? Open the city gate quickly and see how I deal with you!"

Chai Shao was excited to see that he was an old friend, but what he said made Qiao Shiwang almost choke to death!

"What are you looking at? Why don't you open the door quickly?"

He kicked the soldier and felt angry.

"Yes, the last general will go here!"

Tread~
Chai Shao took the lead and walked into the city gate first. He jumped off his horse before Qiao Shiwang could come forward to greet him. That move shocked Qiao Shiwang!
"You old boy is still so hot-tempered, and you're not afraid of throwing me to death!"

Chai Shao didn't take it seriously, gave him a hard fist, and scolded him with a smile: "I thought you, old guy, would be in trouble this time, and I would just give you a ride this time, but who would have thought that the sky has no eyes, and you will be fine." ?”

"Is there any fucking reason for this?"

"As for all the bullshit things you did in the Western Regions, if Ziyi hadn't been merciful, how would you still be doing?"

Qiao Shiwang was stunned and wanted to say something, but when he saw people around him, he quickly covered Chai Shao's foul mouth and said with a black face: "You bastard, can you save some face for me? You dare to say anything to others. ?”

"Let's go into the house and say, we haven't seen each other in these years, we have to have a good drink, otherwise this matter won't be over!"

After saying that, he took Chai Shao and walked towards the city.
In the back courtyard of the Beiting Governor's Mansion, the irrelevant people had already been kicked out by the two of them. They didn't say anything, they just kept drinking until they were almost done, then they threw the cup and shouted, "Happy!"

Qiao Shiwang might have drunk too much, so he pointed in the direction of Chang'an and cursed: "They all want to get the f**king benefit. They just want to take advantage of each other in the Central Plains. They are even more lawless in the Western Regions."

He looked at Chai Shao with red eyes: "Do you think I want to get involved in their affairs? What the hell!"

"I can't help myself, brother!"

"You don't know, there's nothing she can do about Lu Ling. Those bastards used their status to drag Lu Ling into the water, and by the time it's too late to get out, what can I do about Lu Ling's letter?"

boom!
"What the hell can I do?"

Chai Shao poured wine for him and advised him, "Come on, calm down. It's not worth being angry with those people. It's not worth it."

"This time His Majesty allowed me to plead guilty and make meritorious service, I'm afraid it's because I kept the bottom line. Although I helped them cover up a lot of things over the years, as long as I didn't do anything related to the interests and dignity of the Tang Dynasty, other than that In addition, I have also eliminated a lot of evil. Everyone is crazy about getting rich. They dare to do anything and make any demands. If I hadn't had something in their hands, they would have been torn into pieces long ago. Can you wait until now?"

Pfft!
"I'm sorry to have placed my trust in Your Majesty!"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty"

Seeing the old man showing his true feelings, Chai Shao felt uncomfortable.He stepped forward to help him up and said, "Okay, they are all tough men, how can they be crying? If His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid he will be reprimanded again!"

When the two sat down again, Chai Shao said: "Don't blame Ziyi for what happened this time. The burden he has to bear this time is very heavy, so heavy that even he is trembling with fear!"

"I've been staying in the Eastern Women's Kingdom during this period. Not to mention other things, but I know a lot about the situation in the Western Region. The Western Region is like a powder keg right now, and it might explode at some point."

"You must first settle down at home before going abroad. This is an inevitable choice. Even if I come, I will clean up my own backyard first. He is still merciful to you. This may be as you said, a crime will not lead to death!"

Qiao Shiwang nodded and suddenly asked: "What about you? Why are you here too? Didn't His Majesty also transfer you here?"

"no!"

Shaking his head, Chai Shao smiled bitterly and said, "I do think so, but that's not the reason!"

"But Pingyang is here too."

Suddenly, the air in the entire courtyard seemed stagnant.When Chai Shao saw Qiao Shiwang's strange look, he was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and without saying a word, he punched and kicked him!
"What the hell is that look in your eyes? I don't know what's going on with my wife? Is it your turn to think wildly?"

Master Qiao's eyes were blue, and he whispered angrily: "Who is thinking nonsense? If it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. Why are you so anxious?"

"Still?"

Qiao Shiwang quickly raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, why don't you stop talking? Look at how stingy you are?"

Seeing his appearance, how could Chai Shao not know that this bastard was thinking about some random things.He said with a dark face: "I think you are all idle, and you are all making fun of your wife after you are full. If you have the ability, wait until Pingyang comes and tell her in front of her? Let's see if he doesn't chop you bastards to death!"

Chai Shao took a sip of his wine and sighed: "Pingyang's life was saved by Ziyi. Both Pingyang and I are grateful to him. Over the years, we have never treated him as an outsider. He is no more than a biological son."

"The two in the family are useless. I have tried every method, but it is useless. Pingyang has no heir for his talents. With his arrogant and arrogant temperament, how can he be willing to do this?"

"So, she put all her efforts into that boy Ziyi. You have also seen his talent. It takes hundreds or thousands of years for a talent to come out. On ordinary days, it is too late to find a baby. Even if she has any thoughts, she will not know how to do it. Choosing him is even more unacceptable than destroying your own hard work!"

"How can I not know what my own wife is thinking? If it were true, even if I die, I will be punished. Can I wait until now?"

"In your eyes, I am such a coward?"

"Whoo~"

After listening to Chai Shao's words, Qiao Shiwang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is no best, and I don't know who spread the news. There are people with noses and eyes. If I hadn't believed in you, an old friend, I would have believed it!"

As he said this, he glanced at Chai Shao and saw that he was smiling but not smiling, as if I was listening if you continue talking, so he coughed quickly!
"Cough cough!"

"So what? I heard that you destroyed the Dongnu Kingdom? Tell me, what happened? This is the result of destroying the country. Now you will make a lot of money!"

Seeing that the previous topic could no longer be discussed, he quickly changed the topic and started talking about the Eastern Women's Kingdom!
"What's the point? The country is still there, and the queen went to Chang'an to enjoy her blessings. The prime minister is a Tang Dynasty man, and the tribute to the royal family every year is not less. How can we say that the country has been destroyed?"

"It's not okay to say it like this. If people hear it, they will think we did something to their queen."

Qiao Shiwang curled his lips and thought to himself, you have already changed the whole country of Dongnu. Isn’t it just a matter of your words to destroy the country?What onions are you putting here?

"Oh, right!"

He said depressedly: "It stands to reason that Pingyang should have arrived, why did you let me go ahead instead?"

"You don't have any news about Pingyang?"

"No!" Qiao Shiwang shook his head.

"But I know that Duke Xiang sent someone to greet the princess, but by that time the princess had already arrived at the sandbank. No matter how late it is, she should have arrived!"

He was also very puzzled. If he hadn't known that all the gangsters on the road had been eliminated, he would have thought there was an accident!

"no!"

Chai Shao stood up directly and said fiercely: "I won't stay with you any longer. I have to go and take a look right away. If something happens to Pingyang, how can I explain to His Majesty?"

After saying that, he drank the rest of the wine, picked up his weapons, and shouted to the Qing soldiers to prepare to go!

"Hey, hey, hey! You" Seeing Chai Shao leaving without looking back, Qiao Shiwang couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. Looking at the messy yard, he quickly asked someone to clean it up.
quack!

The irritating vulture seemed to hear something, and reluctantly abandoned the carrion on the ground and rose into the sky. It watched the large number of people and horses coming slowly in the distance and kept crowing, as if venting its dissatisfaction at being disturbed!

A group of cavalry greeted the desolate Gobi. They were wearing bright armor and holding horse sabers. They looked majestic and looked ahead, as if they had been maintaining an offensive formation.

It can be predicted that once they encounter an enemy, they will rush forward immediately and kill them all!
In front of this team, a tired but determined female general took the lead.

"Bury it!"

Suddenly, he reined in his horse, looked at the vultures circling in the sky, and said solemnly.

"promise!"

The two knights immediately dismounted and began digging beside the road.

"Princess, for people in the Western Regions, it is common for people to die and be eaten by vultures, just like people who die on the grassland are thrown into the wild to be eaten by wolves!"

"Why are you doing this?"

Xu Jingzong was very puzzled. Logically speaking, this general who had been killed on the battlefield could be so kind to a woman.
"I don't care about other people, but as long as they are met by me, they must be laid to rest. This is my principle."

Pingyang glanced sideways at Xu Jingzong and said, "Do you have any objections?"

"No, it's up to you!"

Xu Jingzong waved his hands quickly, returned to Ji Qing's side, and whispered: "Is it because you are used to living in wealth that you have become kind?"

Ji Qing glanced at him, looked at the vultures in the sky and said: "Maybe, but in my opinion, if he can die alone here without any bones around him, he is either a defected slave or abandoned by the caravan. Poor guy."

"No matter what kind of person they are, they are all miserable people. The superiors sympathize with the weak. This is something worth promoting in itself. Why should you stop it?"

"Do you want all superiors to be cold-blooded people?"

Xu Jingzong was speechless. After waiting for a long time, he saw that he was about to set off again, and then he said: "You and the general have the same temperament. You can always tell nonsense and cannot be refuted!"

"It's so annoying!"

Ji Qing lightly kicked the horse's belly and said loudly: "Since you can't refute it, just prove that I am right. That's enough!"

He didn't know how many bones and passers-by were buried along the way. Although this road was now free of horse bandits and bandits, it was not accessible to ordinary people.

For pedestrians, nature is the biggest enemy.

Hot weather, scarce water, disease, food, these are all things that can easily kill someone!

Since ancient times, countless people have died on this ancient road.Those who were intercepted, those who died of thirst, those who fell ill, without exception, they are all miserable people!

Otherwise, who can live a good life and come here to fight for their lives?
"not good!"

Suddenly, Ji Qing's expression changed, and he immediately jumped off his horse and put his ears to the ground.

"Stop moving forward!"

Pingyang also noticed something strange about Ji Qing, came to him and asked, "What's going on? But what did you find?"

The war in his early years had already trained him to be able to listen to the general situation without changing his mind, he said calmly.

Ji Qing got up from the ground and said solemnly: "The cavalry, the cavalry of the brigade, are coming in our direction!"

"How far is it possible to judge how far away we are?"

"Ten miles!"

Ji Qing said with an ugly face: "Ten miles at most!"

Pingyang nodded when he heard this and said loudly: "Everyone listen to my orders and prepare to fight!"

"Maybe they are our people? This place is not far from Beiting. No one dares to do anything here!" Xu Jingzong said with a pale face.

"There is no possibility, we must be prepared!"

Soon, with the efforts of everyone, the carriages they brought were gathered in front of everyone, the maids and those who were incapable of fighting were surrounded, and then all the cavalry were lined up in front, ready to fight at any time!

"Princess, if something doesn't work out, just leave and don't worry about us!"

Ji Qing came to Pingyang and whispered.

"No need, I am also a general. How can you advance before you flee?"

"you"

Ji Qing was a little anxious and wanted to say something but was interrupted by Pingyang: "No need to say anything, I have made up my mind!"

What a joke, when had she ever been afraid when she was so old?When she was chased by the Sui Dynasty, she mobilized an army of [-] to attack Guanzhong, and finally captured the city of Chang'an. Could this small scene scare her?
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. When a group of cavalry was greeted on a mound in front of them, everyone was stunned for a moment.But after seeing the flag clearly, everyone cheered!

"It's the Prince Consort, it's the Prince Consort here!"

"That's right, this is the military flag of the family master, I can't mistake it!"

"The consort is here to pick up the princess!"

"Great!"

"."

Ji Qing also relaxed. It would be okay if he was alone. Ten years of experience at sea had already made his heart very determined. Besides, with his ability, even if he was defeated, it would not be a big problem to fight his way out of the siege.

Glancing at Pingyang who looked a little excited next to her, Ji Qing smiled and stepped back with Xu Jingzong, who was looking out with his head in hand!
"Hey, hey, what are you doing to me?"

Xu Jingzong was very dissatisfied. The happy enemies of the Tang Dynasty were about to meet, and they were about to eat a big melon. How could he not look at it?

"If you don't want to get beaten, keep watching!"

She glanced at him and said angrily: "Do you really think no one knows what you do?"

"You, you."

"Why don't we expose it? Why do we still cooperate with you?"

Ji Qing rolled his eyes: "Now that it has spread throughout the Western Region, do you really think that the princess is deaf? She just pretends that she doesn't know!"

Xu Jingzong had a dejected look on his face and kept doing it, thinking that he had hidden it from everyone. But now it seems that the clown is actually me?
