Chapter 136 Lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot!
Outside the camp, there were bright lights.
Two hundred well-armored elite cavalry were waiting on the left and right. Zuo Dazhuang, the commander of the thousand-household barracks, was standing beside a young man wearing a purple brocade robe with a smile on his face, and said to please: "Young marshal, this is it! A certain person
My subordinates have seen it with their own eyes, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!”
The young man known as the Young Marshal did not speak, but nodded slightly, with a playful smile in his eyes.
He is Zuo Liangyu's beloved son, Marshal Zuo Mengeng.
Zuo Mengeng is only in his early twenties this year. He has a slender figure and a handsome face. However, a sharp aquiline nose destroys the harmony of the facial features on his face, making his overall temperament slightly sinister. Unlike his father,
, Zuo Liangyu, who was born in the grassroots, is different. Zuo Menggeng has grown up with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child. He is well-dressed, well-fed, rich, and favored by thousands of people. This also makes his temperament more cold and cruel, and even more...
Autocratic.
"What's the direction on the other side? Have you found out clearly?" After pondering for a moment, Zuo Mengeng asked calmly.
"Young Marshal, they are from Shandong. The leading Qianhu are young, but their attitude is very arrogant! Everyone reported your name, Marshal, but they didn't give you face at all!" Zuo Da
A fan duct with added oil and vinegar.
"Oh?" Zuo Mengeng nodded slightly, but there was nothing more to say.
Although he is of noble birth, he is not a fool!
Although this Zuo Dazhuang is famous as "Dazhuang", he has a lot of tricks. He was Zuo Liangyu's personal soldier when he was in Liaodong. He once blocked Zuo Liangyu's knife and was severely slashed in the face.
, this also made Zuo Liangyu trust him more and arranged for him to serve as the commander of his own soldiers. This man may not seem to be high, but he has a lot of power in his hands. He was forcibly captured by the 'Zuo Army'
Women are also the first to be enjoyed and guarded by his personal barracks.
Zuo Mengeng was not interested in this guy. His good education and background since childhood made him more willing to believe in those gentle scholars. He had nothing to do with Zuo Dazhuang, a simple, rough and direct man from the lowest background.
I have a good impression. If it wasn't for his father's face, he wouldn't have come forward today.
After all, a few women are too insignificant compared to Liu Ruyi's army of more than a thousand!
Zuo Dazhuang was startled. He also had a deep sense of fear in his heart for this moody, cold and cruel young marshal. After all, no one likes to live under a block of ice. But he thought that this young Qianhu would be like this in the afternoon.
Not giving himself any face, Zuo Dazhuang's heart was extremely hard. He gritted his teeth and said: "Young Marshal, it seems that your most beloved concubine, Qiuniang, also fled to his tent.
Got it!"
"What? Say it again?" Zuo Mengeng's face turned cold, he tore the placket of Zuo Dazhuang's chest and asked coldly.
"Young Marshal! This, this is what someone's men saw with their own eyes, and they would never dare to deceive the Young Marshal!" Zuo Dazhuang panicked, quickly got off his horse, and knelt down on the ground.
"Hmph!" Zuo Mengeng snorted coldly, "Go and tell that person to come out and see me!"
"Yes!" Zuo Dazhuang kowtowed hard, but a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
…………
After a moment, Liu Ruyi, escorted by Xiao Liuer and dozens of soldiers, hurried out of the camp. Liu Ruyi also wanted to see the true face of this future 'first-class viscount' of the Qing Dynasty.
"Liu Ruyi, a low-ranking Jinan guard Qianhu, pays homage to the young marshal!" Liu Ruyi knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute to Zuo Mengeng.
"Liu Ruyi?" Zuo Mengeng said the name softly, with a cold light in his eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Are you the one who took in someone's concubine?"
Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood his intention. She stood up, clasped her fists and said, "Young Marshal, what do you mean? Why can't Liu understand?"
"hehe?"
Zuo Menggeng smiled softly, "Liu Qianhu, if you want a woman, just tell Mouming directly! Although Menggeng is not talented, he can still satisfy the brothers with this request! But!"
He changed the topic and said coldly: "You secretly took in the defected camp prostitutes, but this was witnessed by a certain soldier. What else do you have to say?"
Liu Ruyi also understood that they were said to be concubines at first and prostitutes at the end. Some of these women must have been contaminated by Marshal Zuo, so he mobilized troops and mobilized people like this.
"Young Marshal! Liu just came from thousands of miles away. Not to mention women, he has never even seen a bitch! Is Zuo Qianhu blinded by this?" Liu Ruyi innocently spread his hands and pointed the spear.
But he pointed at Zuo Dazhuang on the side.
Zuo Dazhuang did not expect that at this time, Liu Ruyi would dare to bite back. He hurriedly defended: "Young Marshal, this can't be wrong! The little black dog saw it with his own eyes, Qiuniang, he is determined to be here
In his tent!"
Zuo Mengeng had a cold face and said nothing, just staring straight into Liu Ruyi's eyes.
But Liu Ruyi didn't take it seriously. She clasped her fists lightly and said to Zuo Mengeng: "Young Marshal, I have really never seen this woman, Liu! However, this Commander Zuo, Liu has some small personal relationships with him.
Grudges! If you, Marshal, are interested, Liu should report the truth truthfully!"
Everyone has the desire to gossip!
Seeing Liu Ruyi's calm look, Zuo Mengeng was a little surprised and nodded lightly.
"Young Marshal, Liu was marching on the mountain road to the north at noon, and happened to meet Commander Zuo who came to arrest the escaped woman! Liu didn't know the details at the time, so he answered Commander Zuo truthfully. Who knew he was there?
After hearing that we were reinforcements from Shandong, he laughed and said that our Shandong soldiers were "shoulder soldiers". Liu was so angry that he had a few words with Commander Zuo! Liu said that the commander-in-chief and the young commander-in-chief also
They are all from Shandong, are they also soldiers with a shoulder strap? Commander Zuo was immediately furious and wanted to take action to teach Liu a lesson! Liu had just arrived, so he did not dare to defend himself against Commander Zuo. Fortunately, when he was about to bear Commander Zuo's thundering wrath, Liu
The marshal's personal troops had to arrive to meet Liu, and Liu was able to escape the disaster! Marshal, Liu's every word is true, I hope the marshal will understand clearly!"
Liu Ruyi explained the details in detail, but at the key points, Liu Ruyi made some manipulations.
Zuo Mengeng's face turned pale after hearing this. Before he was a teenager, he grew up in his hometown of Linqing, Shandong Province. Later, Zuo Liangyu was transferred to the Central Plains to quell the rebel army, and he returned to his father's side.
Zuo Menggeng didn't have the slightest fondness for the arrogant and overbearing Liaodong soldiers under his father.
When he first came to his father's side, because of his young age, these soldiers did not take him seriously. They just laughed and dealt with his orders, which made Zuo Mengeng feel deeply in his heart.
Got a thorn!
Poor families have their own troubles, but rich families also have their own troubles.
Like Zuo Mengeng, what he fears most is not his father, but whether he, Zuo Mengeng, will be able to inherit his father's legacy a hundred years from now!
At this time, after listening to Liu Ruyi's words, Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but recall the past. If he hadn't made a name for himself during the eight years of Chongzhen's fight against the refugee army, wouldn't he still be treated as an empty shelf now?
"Commander Zuo, is this what happened?" Zuo Mengeng glanced at Zuo Dazhuang coldly.
"Young, young, young marshal, no, that's not the case! This bird thief is pure nonsense! Da Zhuang, how dare you slander the marshal and the marshal! He, he is slandering others!" Zuo Da
Zhuang hurriedly argued.
Liu Ruyi sneered slightly. A soldier like Zuo Dazhuang might be petty and use some tricks. He is an everyday person and can easily catch them. But if he really put it on the table and argued in the middle, how could he be his own?
opponent?
"Young Marshal! Those who are clean will be cleansed! Liu behaves righteously and stands upright! Don't suffer this unnecessary disaster in vain! If Commander Zuo has evidence, he can confront the witness in public! If the Young Marshal is still not at ease, he will order
People raided X’s camp, but Liu didn’t complain at all!” Liu Ruyi pretended to be angry and said to Zuo Mengeng with her fists clasped.
"Zuo Dazhuang!" Zuo Mengeng shouted his name loudly.
"Young one is here!" Zuo Dazhuang quickly responded respectfully.
"You, hurry up and bring the soldiers over. I will be able to distinguish right from wrong!" Zuo Mengeng said with a gloomy face.
"Yes!" A hint of fierceness flashed at the corner of Zuo Dazhuang's mouth!
…………
In a moment, the soldier was brought before everyone's eyes.
Liu Ruyi gently fiddled with a few strands of hair that were blown away by the night wind, but a harmless smile appeared on her face.
"Black Gouzi, tell the Young Marshal truthfully what you saw today!" Zuo Dazhuang said sternly.
"Yes!" The private soldier known as Black Gouzi had been slapped in the mouth by Xiao Liu'er for more than a dozen times in the morning. He had lost several teeth and his speech was somewhat leaky.
"...Young Marshal, I, I saw with my own eyes, he, they have some beautiful pieces of floral cloth in their camp. They are definitely the clothes left by those women!"
Black Gouzi talked intermittently for a long time, and finally came up with this sentence.
Zuo Mengeng's face suddenly turned livid, as if he was about to drip with gloom!
Although fights between military lieutenants and generals are commonplace, at least you have to provide evidence! Isn't it just a joke if the preface and the follower are inconsistent and the words are not clear-cut?
"Okay, very good! Very good~~~!" Zuo Mengeng glanced at Zuo Dazhuang with a half-smile.
"Young Marshal, Young Marshal, no, that's not the case! Let's search their camp! Those women are definitely inside!" Zuo Dazhuang was so panicked that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
Zuo Mengeng didn't even look at him. He cupped his fists and said to Liu Ruyi, "Brother Liu, what happened today really made you laugh!"
Liu Ruyi hurriedly clasped her fists and responded: "Young Marshal, you know right from wrong and restored Liu's innocence! Liu will certainly bear this in mind! He is willing to die for the Young Marshal!"
"Haha! Okay! I think Brother Liu seems to be a scholar. I wonder who he studied under?" Zuo Mengeng said seemingly unintentionally.
"Oh! Liu is a disciple of Mr. Zhangqiu Yuanming, but Liu is dull and has failed in his studies, so he has to inherit the family business and serve as a young marshal!" Liu Ruyi pretended to be bitter.
"Haha!" Zuo Mengeng laughed loudly, "I didn't expect Brother Liu and Zuo to be of the same mind!"
For military dignitaries like Zuo Menggeng, most of them have similar experiences! Although his father is a rude warlord, he wants his descendants to read more books. Liu Ruyi herself is also from a small family of military officers, so for these people
His mentality is very thorough.
"Come here, drag down this bird thief with a yellow mouth and white teeth, and beat him with a hundred military sticks! If there is a next time, he will be killed without mercy!" Zuo Mengeng said loudly.
In an instant, two cavalrymen picked up the black dog's body and dragged it towards the back of the military formation.
As for Zuo Dazhuang, Zuo Mengeng didn't say anything, he just didn't bother to look at him. Thinking about it, it would be even harder for him to regain trust from Zuo Mengeng in the future than to reach the sky!
"Brother Liu, Zuo has something important to do today, so I'll take my leave first! Let's raise a toast and have a drink when we have time the other day!" After losing such a big face, Zuo Mengeng didn't want to stay here anymore, facing Liu Ruyi
Holding his fists, he drew his horse and turned around to leave.
Watching his back disappear into the night sky, Liu Ruyi let out a long breath. This time, it was purely a fluke. It won't be so easy next time. It seems that you need to make plans in advance!
