Chapter 6 The smarter the person, the easier it is to be deceived
After taking a sip of wine, Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes: "I heard that the two gentlemen have been practicing in the mountains with their master since they were young, but I don't know why they are here now?"
Regarding this issue, Qin Hao and Yun Ye had already agreed on the words before. Naturally, they said that the "master" had passed away and asked them to practice in the world before his death.
"Master said that practicing in the mountains is also practicing in the world, so my senior brother and I left the thatched cottage, originally planning to go to Lanzhou. On the way, we met Zhang Cheng and his party, and we were almost treated as Qiang people who were robbing food."
It is inevitable to feel guilty when telling a lie. The more he told lies, the more confident he became. It was just like what really happened. If Qin Hao hadn't known that there were few truths in this kid's mouth, he might have believed it.
Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo looked at each other and didn't notice anything was wrong. This was in line with the ancients' imagination of a reclusive master. An old man with gray hair and a childlike face led his disciples to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, drinking morning dew and spending evenings with each other.
Xia returns.
Of course, the main reason is the addition of the salt-making method, which turns highly toxic salt mines into fine snowflake salt. It is not an exaggeration to say that this method is like turning stone into gold.
Moreover, judging from the performance of Qin Hao and Yun Ye, they did not take this salt-making method seriously, which made Cheng Yaojin even more convinced that they had mastered even more powerful techniques from their master.
"That's it. It seems that the two gentlemen are destined to be together with me, old Cheng. Come on, let's all have a drink from this cup." Cheng Yaojin took the lead and drank it all in one gulp. This old boy is usually addicted to alcohol, but he is hindered by this.
Due to military regulations, alcohol is not allowed. Now that I finally have a good opportunity to drink openly, I naturally have to drink a lot.
After burping from wine, Cheng Yaojin walked a little crookedly. He sat down next to Yun Ye and patted Yun Ye's shoulder with his cattail leaf-like palm. Qin Hao gave him the feeling of being too stable. Compared to
Now, this guy with frivolous words should have an easier time breaking through.
"Young Master Yun Ye, has your honorable master ever informed you of your life experience?"
Yun Ye was staggered by Cheng Yaojin's slap. He bet that his shoulders must have been red, and he secretly cursed this old boy for being too careless.
But when he thought that the other party was Cheng Yaojin, Yun Ye could only bear it. Although he was not familiar with history, he also knew that the Cheng Yaojin in real history was not the idiot who only knew three axes in the Biography of Sui and Tang Dynasties.
This guy is a warrior on the battlefield and has chopped off more heads than chop ribs.
"Master once said that the boy is from Chang'an. When the old man picked me up, there was a wooden sign in my swaddling clothes with the word "Yun" engraved on it, so he named the boy Yun Ye."
In order to increase his credibility, Yun Ye took out his wooden sign and handed it to Cheng Yaojin.
When Cheng Yaojin heard that Yun Ye was from Chang'an, his eyes immediately lit up. People who are not from my race must have different hearts. Now Datang is surrounded by powerful enemies. If Yun Ye is from a foreign race, he is really afraid that the other party has something.
What intention.
After playing with the wooden sign for a while, Cheng Yaojin returned it to Yun Ye, and then looked at Qin Hao.
Regarding Qin Hao's life experience, I had also exchanged words with Yun Ye before.
"Master once said that when he picked me up, he was in Youzhou. I was less than two years old at the time, so I didn't remember my parents. My name was given to me by Master."
Cheng Yaojin didn't think there was any problem when he heard this. Youzhou has been in constant war since ancient times. In addition, the world was in chaos in the late Sui Dynasty. There were less than one household in ten. It was normal for a baby to be picked up and raised during the war.
.
And judging from the fact that Qin Hao was given the surname Qin, the mysterious hidden master himself should also be named Qin. After all, judging from the statements of Qin Hao and Yun Ye, their master has no descendants. Accepting one
Naturally, giving a surname to a child is to let him inherit his legacy.
In this way, it can explain why Qin Hao and Yun Ye are brothers in the same sect. One is highly skilled in martial arts and has an extraordinary bearing, while the other is powerless and has a small family spirit.
Qin Hao didn't know Cheng Yaojin's psychological activities. If he knew, he could only sigh. No wonder it is said that the smarter the person, the easier it is to deceive him. You don't need to say too much, he has already figured out the rest for you.
Even more perfect than you think.
"It's a pity that Mr. Yun Ye has a wooden sign as a matchmaker. Maybe he can use this to find his relatives and recognize his ancestors. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. Qin to verify." Cheng Yaojin sighed.
Yun Ye was numb when he heard it. What the hell, you still need to find relatives for him? He was just fooling around. Wait, according to the genealogy, the Yun family has really existed since the Tang Dynasty. Calculating it like this
, how many generations of his ancestors should he be, how can he recognize this relative? Will he be struck by lightning or something?
Cheng Chumo could not help but feel anxious when he saw that his father was busy making family matters and did not mention the bet. His head was still in someone's hand, so he quickly and secretly tugged at the corner of Cheng Yaojin's clothes.
Only then did Cheng Yaojin remember that he still had important things to do, so he patted Yun Ye on the shoulder again, pointed at Cheng Chu and said silently.
"Ahem, I heard that the two gentlemen had some misunderstandings with Cheng Xiaowei. Cheng Xiaowei was also impatient and offended the two of you. I will definitely punish him severely, but I don't know if the two gentlemen can be lenient.
......."
Just as Yun Ye was about to speak, Qin Hao gave him a look and spoke first.
"Previously, Lieutenant Cheng insisted that my junior brother and I were those who deceived the world and stole our reputation. Although we are young, we have learned from our master, but we dare not bring shame on our master's magic skills."
Cheng Yaojin's face froze, and he had a lot of words to persuade him, but he could only swallow them all.
Lord of heaven and earth, dear teacher, in ancient times, respecting teachers and respecting morality was the basic principle of life. The meaning of Qin Hao's words is very obvious. It doesn't matter if you offend us, but if you say that the skills passed down by our master are fake, then you can't bear it.
.
Cheng Yaojin also felt that it was very difficult for a while. Any sect valued the inheritance of the master more than life. If it could not be possible, it would be a situation where death would not end. If he used his power to suppress others, it would be equivalent to Qin Hao's death.
How can you win over Yun Ye if you are so offended?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Cheng Chumo is his biological son after all, so he can be saved even if he is troublesome.
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes, suddenly raised his leg and kicked Cheng Chumo down, and then kicked him hard again without waiting for him to react.
That was really a kick to death. The kick made Cheng Chumo roll around and made Yun Ye look stupid.
Cheng Yaojin kicked and scolded him at the same time.
"I asked you to look down on others, I asked you to be ignorant..."
Yun Ye really couldn't stand it anymore: "General Cheng, please be slow."
"Since Lieutenant Cheng lost the bet with me, his life belongs to us. Whether he lives or dies, we should decide."
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Qin Hao, but his movements did not stop. He knew that among the two brothers, it was the brother Qin Hao who really made the decision.
Seeing that Yun Ye had already spoken, Qin Hao had no choice but to cooperate, because he and Yun Ye were now one.
"etc."
Only then did Cheng Yaojin stop, no, stop, turned around and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Qin Langjun asked me to kill this coward directly, so that he won't talk nonsense outside and cause me trouble."
"Captain Cheng, let me ask you, do you accept the bet?"
Cheng Chumo thought that being kicked to death like this would be better than having a good time.
"Sure, your method of making salt has solved Zuo Wuwei's problem of lack of salt, and also solved the court's urgent need. Cheng Chu is sincerely convinced, and it's just a matter of words."
Qin Hao nodded and his expression softened: "Since Colonel Cheng is dedicated to serving the public, if he threatens us with death, it will appear that my brothers are aggressive, but this is about the honor and disgrace of our school..."
Before Qin Hao could finish his words, Cheng Yaojin rushed to say: "What Qin Langjun said is true. If you don't punish this brat, he won't have a long memory. Come on, drag him down and beat him with twenty army sticks."
Serve as a warning to others!”
Soon, Cheng Chumo's screams were heard outside the handsome tent. At first, Yun Ye thought Cheng Yaojin and his son were acting, but when he opened the curtain of the handsome tent and took a look, he was dumbfounded.
A wooden stick as thick as a fist was rounded and hit on the back. Cheng Chumo's skin and flesh were torn apart after only a few blows. Yun Ye shrank his neck and thought, this old man is too cruel, even his own son will be spared.
Seeing Yun Ye return to his seat, Cheng Yaojin asked with a smile: "Are Mr. Yun Ye satisfied?"
"Actually, there is no need to hit him with twenty army sticks. Ten army sticks are just a small punishment and a big warning." Yun Ye said with a smile.
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand: "It's just twenty army sticks, he can still hold on."
Yun Ye secretly rejoiced that he was "transported". If his soul were reincarnated into Cheng Yaojin's house, he would probably be beaten to death by him before he reached adulthood.
After the execution was completed, the soldiers outside led Cheng Chumo around the commander's tent, saying that he was returning to life, but in fact they were just to silence Qin Hao.
You see, I've already beaten you, so I can't bring up the matter of gambling my life anymore.
Qin Hao didn't pursue the matter further. He had no intention of leaving Cheng Chu silently to death. He already had face, so he gave up as soon as he could.
After Cheng Chumo was carried out, Cheng Yaojin drank a few more bowls of wine and said to Yun Ye insinuatingly.
"Since you two gentlemen are about to enter the world, I have already sent you the method of making salt for 600 miles to express it to your majesty. I believe that your majesty's decree of reward will be issued soon. During this period, it is better for you two gentlemen to come here first."
I am recuperating at the left Wuwei camp."
"Ahem, of course. If you two could give some advice to those rough guys in the army on how to make salt, I would be very grateful."
Yun Ye looked at Qin Hao subconsciously, and Qin Hao nodded slightly. They will live in the Tang Dynasty for a long time in the future. Having a noble status will save them a lot of trouble, but they don't know that Li Er will give them a
What kind of title.
"Since this matter happened because of me, Yun Ye will naturally take responsibility to the end."
"Okay, then I would like to thank Mr. Yunlang on behalf of the Zuowu Guards."
"Come here, pass on my military orders. Whatever you two gentlemen give me, they are my commander's orders. All officers and men must not disobey them!"
"promise."
Later, Cheng Yaojin arranged tents for Qin Hao and Yun Ye respectively. Although the tents in the military camp were relatively simple, they had a large space and would not be too uncomfortable to live there.
Turning around, Yun Ye began to teach the soldiers how to make salt. Although it was not a complicated craft, for these fighting men who could not read Chinese characters and could hardly distinguish between left and right, it was undoubtedly asking them to embroider.
Everyone's hands and feet were stiff, and Yun Ye was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Dismantle all the processes. It's enough for one person to learn only one process." Qin Hao reminded.
Yun Ye slapped his forehead: "Yes, why did I forget about the assembly line work?"
Qin Hao secretly laughed, the environment often changes a person in a subtle way. It is estimated that even Yun Ye himself did not realize that he had begun to integrate into the Tang Dynasty without knowing it.
With the division of labor on the assembly line, the efficiency of salt production also began to speed up. Cheng Yaojin looked at the piles of fine salt and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
Cheng Chumo also recovered on the third day. I don't know if this guy got a concussion from being kicked by Cheng Yaojin, but he kept trying to get close to Yun Ye, almost losing his way.
The first batch of 100 kilograms of fine salt was put into the warehouse. Cheng Yaojin immediately felt confident and began to intensify his troops. The soldiers' meals were also changed from the previous two meals of gruel to one dry and one gruel.
When the second batch of 500 kilograms of fine salt was put into the warehouse, Cheng Yaojin ordered the whole army to set off.
During this period, Zhang Cheng and his entourage also arrived at the camp, and Wangcai also came. As soon as this guy saw Yun Ye, he thrust his head into his arms. It was obvious that he had not been under Zhang Cheng's hands during this period.
Less hardship, you can tell by looking at the food carried on its back that it is a strong man.
But Yun Ye was so distressed that he quickly unloaded the food on its back, went to find fodder for it, and gave it a handful of cooked beans for Wangcai to eat.
Wangcai ate crunchily and snorted from time to time. He was very happy. He finally returned to his boss and no longer had to live a hard life.
However, after the army broke camp, the good days of prosperity came to an end. Cheng Yaojin could see that the livestock was not idle. Although this was still an immature colt, he also put a troupe and a saddle on it.
In terms of winning gold, a good horse must be trained from an early age.
As for Qin Hao's horse king, he was fully armed early in the morning. He was not used to it at first, but after gradually getting used to it, he no longer resisted.
In the final analysis, the Qiang people are just a group of relatively tough ethnic minorities, and they do not form a unified command. The reason why Zuowuwei was unable to exterminate them before was because of the lack of salt, and the soldiers did not have the strength to move forward, so they could only huddle up and defend.
Now that the supply of salt has been restored, the soldiers' strength has also been restored.
In front of the well-trained Zuowuwei soldiers, the Qiang people's team is simply a mess. Often a charge can break up the Qiang people's formation, and what follows is a unilateral massacre.
The good news came one after another, and Cheng Yaojin was naturally overjoyed.
However, Yun Ye had a direct impression of the war because he saw a large number of wounded. The smell of blood in the military camp became stronger and stronger. In the era of cold weapons, no matter how disparate the combat effectiveness was, the victor's soldiers would still suffer a large number of casualties.
"Wait, he can still be saved, what are you doing to take him out?"
Yun Ye stopped the military doctor who was about to carry out the wounded soldier.
The military doctor glanced at him with a disdainful look: "What do you know? This man was stabbed in the abdomen and bleeding. He is hopeless. Staying here will only hinder my ability to save people. Please take him out quickly."
"Stop, you quack. The wound on his abdomen is not too big. It can be sutured to stop the bleeding. Yet you just sentenced him to death. You don't deserve to call yourself a doctor!"
