The life of the Nangong family in Xunyang County is not as good as that of the main family, and it is all supported by Nangong Yu, the captain. With Nangong Yu's pitiful military salary, he not only has to bear the family expenses, but also has to maintain a good relationship with his superiors and subordinates.
, it can be said that it is very difficult to be stretched thin.
At noon that day, in the elegant room of Juxian Tower in Xunyang County, the waiter had been standing next to Nangong Yu for a while, but the waiter had only ordered two dishes after much thought.
Nangong Yu and Mr. Du came to the restaurant first. After all, Nangong Yu was the host and it was hard to keep the guests waiting. Nangong Yu had just paid his birthday to Mr. Guan before, but now he was busy ordering food and lost his heroic spirit. It can be seen that
Even a penny can stump a heroic man.
Boss Du frowned and said, "Brother Nangong, it's up to me to take care of this meal. After all, I make a living by making money every day, and I have much more money than you!"
Nangong Yu said with some embarrassment: "That's impossible! I'm asking you to accompany me for a drink today, how can I ask you to pay for it!"
Mr. Du laughed and said: "It's all about Taiping and Tieniu. What's the difference between you and me? Don't fight with your brother Du. This meal is mine!"
While the two were talking, Li Taiping and Tieniu went up the stairs. Tieniu was seen following Li Tianping and said awkwardly: "I won't go in Taiping. I am a poor man who runs a boat, how can I be qualified?"
Let’s have a drink with the county officials!”
Li Taiping turned around and said: "What's wrong with those who run boats? Those who run boats are not human beings! Doesn't Zheng Tianqi also have one head and two eyes? You are no less qualified than him, so why are you not qualified?"
Tieniu was dragged here by Li Taiping. If he hadn't been stronger than Li Taiping, Tieniu would never have come.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and Li Taiping walked in first, while Tieniu followed closely behind Li Taiping with his head lowered, as shy as a young lady meeting someone for the first time.
Mr. Du stared at Tieniu and cursed: "A dignified seven-foot-tall man looks like a girl. You are completely embarrassed by your face as a boat racing man in Xunyangjiang! Zhang Tieniu, I can tell you, one day
If you still behave like this when Zheng Tianqi comes, be careful that I set fire to your broken boat!"
After all, Nangong Shou was a son of a noble family. Although he was angry when he saw Tieniu's appearance, he would not be as rude as Boss Du. Instead, he said with a smile: "Tieniu wants to run in the world, but he has to straighten his waist, otherwise he will
Not only do I look down on you, Zhang Tieniu, but I also look down on Taiping!"
Tieniu didn't want to come because he was afraid of embarrassing Li Taiping. After hearing what the two said, he couldn't help but straighten his back and said seriously: "I, Tieniu, don't have much face, so I'm not afraid of losing it! But my brother's face is
But you can’t lose it, don’t worry, I won’t embarrass Taiping even if I lose my life!”
Not long after Li Taiping and Tieniu took their seats, they saw Zheng Tianqi leading several military governors downstairs of the Juxian Tower.
One of the captains laughed and said: "Nangong Yu is so stingy as to blow fire, how can he be willing to spend money to treat adults to drinks? And it's still here in Juxian Tower!"
Zheng Tianqi smiled but said nothing and took the lead into Juxian Tower.
When Zheng Tianqi entered the private room, Nangong Yu hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Master Zheng, please come in quickly!"
After everyone sat down, Nangong Yu stood up and introduced everyone one by one. During this time, good wine and food were served.
After the food and drinks were served, Nangong Yu had just finished playing when he saw Li Taiping standing up with a cup and said with a smile: "I'd like to propose a toast to you. From now on, I, a good brother, need you to take more care of me!"
Everyone was enlightened. Although Li Taiping's words were neither condescending nor arrogant, he had made his attitude clear. After all, it was better not to expose some things than to expose them.
I saw Zheng Tianqi also stood up and said with a smile: "We are all children of Jianghu. Don't worry about Taiping. As long as I, Zheng Tianqi, are around, the affairs of the Tieniu brothers are my, Zheng Tianqi's affairs!"
With just one word from one person, the unpleasantness surrounding the old man's birthday party would be over, and no one would be stupid enough to hold on to that matter.
Several captains brought by Zheng Tianqi thought it was the Hongmen Banquet when they first saw Li Taiping. They were brought by the captain to block the sword. When they saw Zheng Tianqi and Li Taiping talking and laughing, their hearts dropped.
, the atmosphere at the wine table became better, and even Zhang Tieniu, the captain, would offer a glass of wine or two.
"The number one speedboat on the Xunyang River, the name of the Tieniu Brothers is as loud as a thunder!"
"Don't tell me, I took a ride on Tieniu's boat last year, but it's a pity that we didn't know each other well at that time. Otherwise, I would have had a drink with Brother Tieniu!"
The captains of the school lifted Tieniu up to the sky with their words. Tieniu was simple and honest, but he also knew that people did not take him seriously as the number one speedboat on the Xunyang River, but only for the sake of Li Taiping.
I call him a brother with a poor Chinese character.
Although Mr. Du has a hot temper and doesn't know a few Chinese characters, he is very good at talking at the wine table. He makes everyone happy while changing glasses...
A horse galloped on the official road, and a cloud of yellow dust billowed. As one post passed by another, the soldiers on horseback whipped their horses and shouted loudly...
"Eight hundred miles urgent! Eight hundred miles urgent!"
It's rare to rush for eight hundred miles, but in the past few days, on the official roads of Daqian Dynasty, you can see the figures of Yiqi riding horses.
The Daqian Dynasty had more than 1,600 post stations and more than 20,000 post soldiers. Once these people were mobilized, it meant that something big happened in the Daqian Dynasty.
A horseman rushed to the gate of Xunyang County without slowing down at all. He saw the postman shouting loudly, "Hurry up for 800 miles! I will grant you a gold medal. Anyone who resists will die, and whoever resists will perish!".
The streets were filled with people for a while, but no one dared to shout or curse. Even Guan's family members were angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only get out of the way dejectedly.
The postman rushed to the county governor's house, and within a moment, the county guard hurried out of the house and rushed to Juxian Tower. The county guard always took a sedan when going out, but this was the first time for the people of Xunyang County to see
It looked like the county governor was trotting along with his official uniform in hand.
The county guard ran into the Juxian Tower with an anxious look on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Where is Zheng Tianqi?"
When the waiter saw the governor's panic, he couldn't help being frightened. He hurriedly led the governor to the private room, pointed at the private room with his finger, and hurriedly retreated.
The county guard was not polite and pushed the door open. Before he saw Zheng Tianqi, he shouted: "Tianqi, this is not a good thing!"
Everyone was in the mood for drinking, so they were definitely not happy to be interrupted so suddenly. A school captain was about to curse angrily, but he recognized the governor at a glance and swallowed his words.
Zheng Tianqi was also confused. The Sheriff had always been calm. What could have caused him to be so panicked? He couldn't help but stand up and support the out of breath Sheriff. While helping the Sheriff calm down his breath, he said: "Sir, don't panic.
, Even if the sky falls, the sky will hold it up!"
I saw the county governor gasping and saying, "I'm afraid I can't bear it!"
The county guard seemed to be in a hurry. He didn't even have time to look at anyone at the wine table, so he pulled Zheng Tianqi out of his arms and took out the warrant...
Tianxia City, the Star-catching Moon Tower. Li Xia waited respectfully aside, looking at the old man's back without saying a word.
I saw the old man with white eyebrows and red eyes looking into the distance, looking at the clouds gathering and dispersing on the horizon, and said to himself: "The wind is blowing, I hope it can blow up the stagnant water in the Daganchao! I will go out of the city, if I can't come back you Don’t panic, if someone comes to cause trouble, someone will take action, you just need to sit here and it will be done!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man stepped out of the building and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Li Xia stood on the balcony and looked at the direction in which the old man disappeared, thinking to himself, "After decades of planning, it's finally time to see the end! I hope everything goes well and the ancestor can return safely!".
At the Mayi County barracks, Nangong watched the three thousand soldiers in the audience and said loudly: "This time we send troops, we will clean up the horse bandits outside Yulin and drive these guys into the grassland. This time Yulin and Dingxiang will also send troops to cooperate. , you must unite as one and strive to return victorious as soon as possible!"
Nangong Shou finally gathered 3,000 soldiers, and this time he went out to polish this army. Why it was the last polishing, because in a few months, the horse bandits in Mayi and Dingxiang had already After being wiped out, only the horse bandits in the direction of Yulin remained.
Three thousand cavalry roared out and headed straight for Yulin.
When the army marched twenty miles away from Mayi City, they saw a foreign cavalry force of two thousand people waiting on the slope in the distance. Marian, dressed in red, rode out on horseback and headed straight for the army. The two thousand people The cavalry swept down like a long dragon...
Marian, dressed in red, rode side by side with Nangong Shou, while the two thousand cavalrymen under her were marching parallel to the imperial soldiers on the wild road. On one side, there were neat formations of helmets and armors, and on the other side, they were wandering around in different clothes. At a glance, Looking at it, there is a clear distinction between Jing and Wei.
The old man Xun Liang of Mayi County saw 4,000 foreigners that day and planned a place to resettle him. The alluvial plain outside Mayi County could support 40,000 foreigners, not to mention 4,000 people. Xun Liang arranged for the foreigners to live in a horse farm thirty miles outside the city, because it had long been abandoned and was suitable for nomadic people to settle.
After Marian settled the tribe, she selected two thousand warriors and formed a cavalry. One was to protect the safety of the tribe, and the other was to cooperate with Nangong to suppress the horse bandits. These two thousand people were not under Nangong's custody in name, but in fact But he obeyed the orders of Nangong Shou.
The prince-in-law of the Tuva tribe was an incredible warrior. Especially after the Tuva people heard about Nangong Shou's name and deeds in the Daqian Dynasty, they respected and worshiped this prince-in-law even more.
With a strong general like Hong Niangzi and two thousand foreign cavalry, Nangong Shou was even more powerful and became the talker of the three border counties.
Who has the final say these days? Nangong Shou has five thousand cavalry. Yulin and Dingxiang have to bow their heads and be obedient. What's more, the person in the palace thinks that Nangong Shou has made great achievements in suppressing the bandits and should be rewarded greatly. , he made Nangong Shou a guerrilla general of the fifth rank.
A fifth-grade guerrilla general can only be found by the governor of a high county. A governor of a lower county like Mayi County will only be a valiant cavalry officer if he is exhausted. But the man in the palace is happy, and it is not a big deal, so he No one felt uncomfortable and made that person angry, so Nangong Shou became the highest general among the armies of the three border counties...
