The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

"Xue Guoguan?"

"Yuanqing, how could the tortoise son come here at such a time? Our achievements have not been reported at this time. The tortoise son has such a long nose? "

Chen Zhong also did not expect that Xue Guoguan, a notorious Street mouse, would not stay in Shanhaiguan honestly, but would come here on the eye of this bone Festival.

Li Yuanqing a smile: "big brother, Xue Guoguan, although I don't have much contact with him, but he can come here at this time. I'm afraid the rumor is wrong."

"This..."

"Yuan Qing, you mean..."

Li Yuanqing slapped Chen Zhong on the shoulder with a smile and put it close to Chen Zhong's ear and said, "elder brother, people are not sages. Who can be faultless? This old Xue is also a character. We will give him more face. In this way, brother, go to Sanchahe to meet him in person, and try his words first. "

At this time, although Chen Zhong's temper was still hot, his core had already become a qualified "old official oil son".

Instantly, he understood Li Yuanqing's deep meaning and nodded with a smile, "Yuanqing, don't worry. Now, master Xue, let's take good care of me

Looking at Chen Zhong's rapid departure, Li Yuanqing could not help but show an indescribable smile at the corner of his mouth. He lit a cigar in a slow and orderly manner, and said in a low voice: "poor in the downtown, no one asked, rich in the mountains have distant relatives."

…………

The midday sun was high in the middle, and the air was filled with a kind of unspeakable dryness and heat.

People in this environment, like a cage on the steamed buns, a little more light, afraid to be able to steam people.

Especially on both sides of the river bank, we can sometimes see a lot of Houjin army's Rangers and scouts, who stare at the big boats on the river fiercely, which makes Xue Guoguan dressed in red official robes not too wonderful.

However, he did not choose to equip the cool and comfortable cabin with ice. Instead, he shrank under the cover of the bow, straightened himself up, and looked around with great interest.

Don't say it.

He was so dignified and dignified that even the officers and soldiers on the ship were shocked by him and were respectful to him.

Even, Xue Guoguan heard some sailors murmuring, "I've never seen such a bold and dignified senior official."

This makes Xue Guoguan feel very good.

Maybe... His future is not as bad as he thought.

However, at the thought of the rising power of the Ming Dynasty who was about to meet, Xue Guoguan had already seen a lot of waves, but in the bottom of his heart, he still couldn't stop playing drums.

It was nearly ten years ago that I first met Li Yuanqing.

At that time, Li Yuanqing was still a little general in the capital, who spent all his efforts in running in the capital. However, Xue Guoguan, who had just got close to Duke Wei's coach, was full of energy.

What a pity.

At that time, he was extremely high-minded, and how could he give a false color to Li Yuanqing, a little unknown general?

As a result, he let go of the opportunity around him. At this time, he wanted to get closer to Li Yuanqing, so

"Hoo ~ ~"

A gust of warm wind swept his face. Xue Guoguan could not help but spit out a long breath of turbid air. He looked at himself through the mirror of the helmsman nearby.

Although the mirror is slightly inclined, but Xue Guoguan can still see the bright and straight figure.

As a Jinshi of forty-seven years, Xue Guoguan is only in his early 40s this year, which is at a time when he has the strongest wealth, the most vigorous mental state and the strongest political life.

Unfortunately, the fall of Duke Wei made him a star of hope and a mainstay in the future. All of a sudden, his old Xue became a street mouse that everyone wanted to kill.

Fortunately, Xue Guoguan was extremely shrewd. Before the big storm came, he found a way out and came to the north to patrol the border.

But Xue Guoguan understood that this thing could be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime.

If this lump of excrement under his buttocks can't be wiped clean, this time, he wants to use the means of hiding from the sky and the sea again, and muddle through, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

But who was he, Xue Guoguan, and how could he wait to die?

At this time, in front of the ship, there was a regular dock area. Xue Guoguan glanced for a moment, and his spirit was greatly improved.

He has clearly seen a big flag with the character of "Chen" inlaid with Phnom Penh on the side of the wharf. "Is it difficult? Chen Zhong is here?"

After a while, a golden helmets general, accompanied by hundreds of elite soldiers, came out of the temporary wooden house in the rest area of the wharf and came here to meet him.

Xue Guoguan had met Chen Zhong before when he was granted a reward in the great dynasty. He recognized it at a glance and was greatly pleased.Soon, the soldiers put down the hanging ladder. Xue Guoguan ran a few steps and got off the boat quickly. He said with a smile, he bowed his hand to Chen Zhong and said, "I said that magpies have been crying all the time this morning. It turns out that today, I went out to meet a noble person. Chen Shuai, I haven't seen you for a long time. "

"Ha ha. Mr. Xue, you are making a sudden attack. Fortunately, old Chen is well prepared. If not, I'll be caught by Lord Xue. "

Don't smile when you reach out.

However, Chen Zhong also played a trick. In a respectful tone, he was slightly stiff. It depends on how Xue Guoguan takes over.

How could Xue Guoguan, such an old oilseed, not understand the deep meaning of Chen Zhong's words?

For a moment, he said with a smile: "Chen Shuai is joking. Chen Shuai and Ding Haibo fought hard in the north. As an imperial envoy, Xue was entrusted by the emperor and the imperial court, but failed to come to the battlefield at the first time. This is Xue's dereliction of duty. "

With that, Xue Guoguan took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve, which was nearly ten thousand taels, and handed it to Chen Zhong with a smile: "Marshal Chen, this is some of the military supplies and military pay that Xue raised carefully these days. It's also a wish of Xue Mou and the people in Liao Dynasty. Please don't refuse."

Although Xue Guoguan's words were tactful, Chen Zhong was not stupid. In an instant, he realized that this was the meeting gift given by Xue Guoguan to Chen Zhong.

If this thing is said, I'm afraid it will make people laugh off their big teeth.

How could that be possible?

It can't happen at all.

How can a high-ranking scholar official, a saint, give a gift to a military officer's clay leg, and even a hand is ten thousand taels. This is not at all possible.

But in front of me, things really happened.

Chen Zhong wanted to say no, but at this time, to his horror, Xue Guoguan's eyes showed some unspeakable plea

Chen Zhong's temper is soft rather than hard.

If you follow him hard, it must be hard Gang to the end, but ~, if you come with him soft, you will first put on a weak posture, things are afraid to be a lot of smooth.

Obviously, Xue Guoguan was right.

Chen Zhong hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bank note with a smile and said, "Mr. Xue, thank you for your care. I will report this matter to Ding Haibo as soon as possible. "

Xue Guoguan could not help but be overjoyed. "Thank you very much, Chen Shuai."

They exchanged greetings. Chen Zhongzheng was going to invite Xue Guoguan to a banquet. However, Xue Guoguan said in a low voice: "Chen Shuai, I don't know if you are involved. If so, if you can, I would like to see Li Shuai earlier. Li Shuai's side, the lower official has also prepared the present

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment and then reacted. The corner of his mouth was slightly cocked up. In his heart, he said, "Yuan Qing did not guess wrong. Xue Guoguan is going to find a way out in a vicious way. "

However, to a large extent, Xue Guoguan and their brothers are of the same origin. In addition, Xue Guoguan's attitude at this time is so respectful that Chen Zhong doesn't mind pulling his elder Xue.

He said with a smile: "Lord Xue, you can't take a carriage when you go to tashanpu here. Besides, there are many Tartars on the road. We must hurry. I don't know whether Mr. Xue may bear it

Xue Guoguan was overjoyed and said, "Chen Shuai, I can bear it. I can bear it. It's hard work, Chen Shuai. "

…………

Riding is a skill, similar to a driver's license.

At this time, most people don't have a driver's license at this time, but they don't have a driver's license in this era.

Riding seems simple, but the real galloping horse is not riding a donkey or a mule. Without real horse control technology, it is impossible.

But don't say it's a war horse. Even if it's an ordinary horse, it's an extremely expensive luxury for the common people.

But it was not difficult for Xue Guoguan, a scholar bureaucrat.

Even in the fierce sun, his face, hands and feet would be exposed to the sun. However, Xue Guoguan insisted on running all the way. In the middle of Shenshi, he arrived at the Ming army camp in tashanpu with Chen Zhong before 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Hehe. Yuan Qing, look, this trip, brother, I didn't run in vain. Listen to this old Xue's meaning, he also prepared more generous gifts for you

Chen Zhong put ten thousand taels of silver in front of Li Yuanqing with a smile.

Li Yuanqing smiles: "this guy is a man of understanding. That's good. In this way, big brother, you go down to have a rest and make good preparations for the next dinner party. I'll talk to the old Xue. "

"Yes, Yuanqing. You can rest assured. "

Not long after Chen Zhong left, Xue Guoguan was led by Yang Lei and carefully came to Li Yuanqing's big account.

But what Li Yuanqing didn't expect was that Xue Guoguan had just entered the account door for a moment. He quickly brushed his sleeve, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed Li Yuanqing a few times. "My subordinate, Xue Guoguan, has met Lord Ding Haibo. He is in good health."

With that, Xue Guoguan did not dare to breathe, and his buttocks were facing the sky. He did not dare to see Li Yuanqing half an eye.Li Yuanqing took a deep puff of his cigar and puffed out a long puff of fog. After staring at Xue Guo Guan for a long time, he saw that his cold sweat was about to seep out. Then he said with a faint smile: "Mr. Xue, don't be too polite. Get up. "

"Eh? Yes, yes. Thank you very much

For a moment, Xue Guoguan got up with some difficulty, accompanied by a smiling face, and stood on one side carefully and respectfully. He did not dare to say more than half a word.

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, although Li Yuanqing had already granted his uncle, Xue Guoguan, a senior official of the imperial court, was also an imperial envoy. He only had to bow his hands to Li Yuanqing, and Li Yuanqing also had to bow his hands in return. There was no need to kneel down at all.

But at this time, Xue Guoguan not only knelt down regularly, but also kowtowed a few heads to Li Yuanqing.

The charm in this is a little far-reaching.

Looking at the tiger leather throne not far away, the young upstart in the smoke, although Xue Guoguan has a lot of words to say, he is really facing the prestige of Li Yuanqing. He has prepared many words for a long time, but he can't say a word

For a while, Li Yuanqing smiled: "Mr. Xue, we are not strangers. Sit down, please. Come on, have a good tea. "

"Yes."

Outside came a respectful response from the soldiers.

Xue Guoguan was startled. He reacted for a moment and said with a smile, "thank you very much."

This just carefully sat on the side of the body not far from the passenger seat.

Li Yuanqing tasted his cigar in an orderly way and said with a smile, "Mr. Xue, I heard that you have been patrolling the defense of Shanhaiguan all the time? Why do you come to Yuanqing when you have time? "
