I haven't finished saying this yet... I was waiting for everyone to leave... before I could apologize to Xu Xun and explain Qian Ning's concubine across from me. He didn't care what was going on with Wu Dahai's bald head and bald eyebrows.
, hurriedly pulled up his robe and knelt down: "Sir, I have a lowly position to report this matter...".
"Get up! He hasn't finished speaking yet, why are you in a hurry!" Xu Xun interrupted Qian Ning's words, then looked at Wu Dahai thoughtfully and said, "Wu Dahai, continue, that old man and woman
What's going on?"
Wu Dahai didn't seem to see Qian Ning's murderous eyes like knives. He just lowered his head and said to himself: "Reporting to your lord, the old man said that he was hired by Qian Qianhu because he was proficient in meng.
As a guide, he used the name of Toba Tu to make Qian Qianhu pretend to be a mute grandson before sneaking in. This time the army made a contribution, he wanted to ask if he, as a civilian, could be considered meritorious...
”.
Hearing that Wu Dahai didn't say anything about women, Qian Ning couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and said through gritted teeth: "This old guy has done so many illegal and illegal things in the past, how dare he come to seek reward so blatantly...
…”
"It was forbidden in the past. This time, the great contribution is not only worthy, but also coming here to ask for reward is not excessive." Xu Xun had already learned from Scarface that Qian Ning had threatened Li You before, so he persuaded the old Chaihuo.
Acting as a guide, he did not point out the truth at this time and directly ordered Wu Dahai, "Go and tell him that the imperial court has given a reward for killing the thief. His merits can be compared to the example of gathering the village warriors to behead five levels. If you want to give him a reward,
His children and grandchildren have a benevolent figure, at least one of them will support him. In addition, in addition to the reward Qian Ning promised him before, he will be rewarded with another one hundred and fifty taels of silver calculated based on five levels of beheading."
Dahai promised, but did not move his feet, "And the woman the old man brought..."
Qian Ning never expected that Wu Dahai would talk about that woman again, and he was angry and anxious for a while. But before he could think of another way to interrupt, he saw Xu Xun looking towards him,
There was quite a warning in his eyes. Although he hated Wu Dahai for not opening any pot, he was afraid that he would really anger Xu Xun and had to swallow his anger.
"The woman said that she didn't know that Qian Qianhu was a military attaché of the Ming Dynasty who had sneaked into Shacheng, so she panicked and mistakenly accused a good person, saying that she wanted to thank Qian Qianhu for his kindness. She also said that she was the daughter of a good family.
Unwilling to be tainted by that Agula, she originally wanted to die with a knife. It was Qian Qianhu's knife that deliberately missed the target, saving her life and preserving her innocence. However, she was kidnapped by the bandits this time.
Even if she can return home safely, no one will believe that she is still innocent. She doesn't want to go home and she doesn't dare to go home, so she wants to ask the Lord to make the decision and give her a certificate from the nunnery."
Qian Ning originally thought that the woman was here to complain to Xu Xun, but when he heard that she wanted to thank him, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was in a hurry at that time, and not only dislocated her arm, but also beat her.
The punch that came out was not light, and he completely forgot that it was a woman after all. However, when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help it anymore and blurted out: "Sir, that Agu before
I can testify that La has not touched her...".
Xu Xun was pondering while listening. Hearing Qian Ningqi suddenly say such a sentence, he couldn't help but said with a straight face: "Testify? What kind of testimony can you do? Today's world keeps saying that starving to death is a small matter, but being dishonest is a big deal.
, it’s natural for her to have such concerns. Are you, a grown man, going to accompany her home to explain to her family? Someone’s words about who you are to her are enough to make you speechless!"
Seeing that Qian Ning was choked, Xu Xun asked Wu Dahai carefully about what happened last night and then ordered Wu Dahai to go out and bring Lao Chaihuo and the woman in. After a while, he only saw an old man and a young man coming in.
Open the tent.
Although the old man was so old that his face was wrinkled, his back was straight and his spirit was hale and hearty, but his eyes were always a bit sneaky. As soon as they met him, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sir" with his hands on the ground. And the woman must have just been there.
I washed my face and combed my hair, and my hair was loosely tied with a hairpin. Although I was just naked, my eyes were wandering, and I was used to seeing big and rough men in the military camp. At first glance, I looked a bit amazing.
Xu Xun took a few more glances and found that Qian Ning was stunned, so he coughed.
Hearing the cough, Qian Ning just reacted and hurriedly withdrew his eyes that couldn't help but look around. However, he regretted that he didn't take a good look yesterday night and didn't realize that she was a great beauty. Now that he missed it, she was in front of Xu Xun again.
A naked face meant he should give up. Even so, when he saw the woman bowing down and kowtow, he still felt a little itchy: "Qian Ning has already said it before, since you have not lost your integrity, why should you be ashamed to go home? You have to ask for something.
Dudian. Buddhism is not necessarily a quiet place, and some are no less peaceful than the secular world. Furthermore, what if those nuns can’t tolerate you? What will happen then? Since you had Zhou Lie’s courage to seek death last night, you will also have the courage to seek death in the future.
You should live well.
Judging by your age, have you ever been married to someone?"
"Your Excellency, it is clear to me that the daughter of the common people He Cailian made two marriages, but her fiancé died of a sudden illness. She was already regarded as an unlucky person in the countryside. If she goes back like this now, she won't be able to explain it clearly even with ten mouths.
I'm afraid that the patriarch will force me to commit suicide to show my innocence." The woman said and kowtowed again, then turned around and kowtowed three times to Qian Ning, "My benefactor is so kind and kind, and the daughter of the people has nothing else to repay.
I can only kowtow these few heads to say thank you, and may my benefactor be blessed with great success and descend upon his children and grandchildren!"
Qian Ning was originally very moved by looking at her beauty. Now when he saw her confessing her hidden feelings, she was also kowtowing to him to thank him. Then he thought about the yellow-faced woman at home who was always irritated and angry. He finally
Unable to bear it any longer, he immediately stepped forward to help the person up, then turned around and knelt down on one knee to Xu Xun, risking his life for a moment: "Sir, after I saved her at my humble post last night, because I was in a hurry, I once
He took off her shirt and bound her wounds. Men and women are not allowed to be intimate. Although the low position is not intentional, it is inconsistent with etiquette. Can you be a great matchmaker? I am willing to go to her home to give a betrothal gift to welcome her. Please do it.
!”
When Xu Xun brought Qian Ning over from Jinyiwei, he asked about the population of his family and found out that he still had a wife and one child. Therefore, Qian Ning wanted to welcome rather than marry, so naturally he wanted to take concubines instead of marrying them.
Even though the Ming Dynasty system requires officials to take concubines only if they are over forty years old and have no children, there are many concubines in the officialdom. On the contrary, monogamy is very rare... Seeing that He Cailian listened to Qian Ning's words
He suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face that could not be concealed at first. Then he lowered his head and mumbled some unworthy words of humility. He knew that this woman must be absolutely convinced in her heart. After thinking about it, he sighed.
"Forget it, if everyone returns safely, you can go to her house to pay the bride price.
Let’s not talk about being a matchmaker. You have made great achievements this time, and you will be promoted and rewarded. This kind of thing is too ostentatious. Be careful when you go back to the censor, you will not be careful! Wu Dahai, take her down first." Xu Xun said to He Cailian.
Gang Lie was somewhat appreciative, and even thought of the little girl who was still in the capital. He knew that although she had used some tricks, she had more of a last resort. Today's world is very harsh on women. If anyone is frustrated by two marriages, this time
He was kidnapped by the bandits again and forced to survive in death, so that was all he could do.
His original intention was to choose an unmarried man among the soldiers in the vanguard of the government army to betroth He Cailian, but now it seems that he took it for granted. Qian Ning is a bold and ambitious person, but his true ability cannot be underestimated. This time
After returning to the capital for great achievements, there will definitely be a reward. Even if He Cailian is a concubine, she will be much more prosperous than marrying an ordinary military household or even a junior officer who has a difficult career.
Although Xu Xun did not mention the matter of being a matchmaker for the time being, his warning was well-intentioned. In addition, Qian Ning was very happy at the moment that no one wanted to steal her love, so there would be no grudge against him. As soon as they left, he said
Xu Xun boasted about Lao Chaihuo in every possible way, as if he had completely forgotten how he had shouted at people before. Xu Xun signaled Lao Chaihuo to stand up, asked him a few questions about the terrain, and then suddenly changed his words and said:
"How is your horsemanship?"
"Your Majesty, I have learned from you that I used to be an outsider in equestrian skills, so I am naturally extremely skilled." Only when the old man said this did he realize that he had revealed his secrets, but he did not regret taking the medicine, so he could only
He said bravely, "If you have anything to do, sir, just give me the order. I will do my best."
"In that case, Caihui will allocate five hundred people to escort the prisoners of war and escort the soldiers and civilians of Xuanfu back. The rest will be used by General Shen and me for other purposes. Since you have been away from home for many years and are familiar with the terrain near this monkey,
Just follow me."
After saying this, he didn't wait for Lao Chaihuo, whose expression changed drastically, to speak, and said calmly, "If the previous great achievements are enough to be hereditary for your children and grandchildren, then if the next thing is done, I guarantee him
With a hereditary command, you no longer have to risk your life to make excuses, and you will naturally enjoy peace and happiness."
Lao Chaihuo glanced at Qian Ning and saw that his hand was already on the handle of the knife. He couldn't help but shuddered again. He didn't dare to hesitate anymore and hurriedly agreed. When Xu Xun called people in, he saw the two
A private soldier took him out as if he were under guard. He couldn't help but glance at Qian Ning's face again, only to find that this Caizhou man who had taken a big risk seemed to be fine.
Qian Ning was extremely clever. After Lao Chaihuo left, he immediately approached Xu Xun and asked with a smile on his face: "Sir, are we really not going back to Zhangjiakou Fort and are we still going to fight?"
Since he was able to accept someone from Li Yifeng, Xu Xun knew that Qian Ning was a double-edged sword. If used well, it would be an unstoppable sharp knife. If used poorly, it would easily cut him. At this time,
Seeing his eager and eager look at this moment, he joked: "Although your previous trip was full of crises, it was nothing compared to the next one. How about you?
You have accomplished enough, and you have a beautiful lady, do you want me to send you back?"
"Look at what my lord said, there is no such thing as too much credit!" When he heard that he would have to fight again, Qian Ning became energetic. "My lord, please don't say anything about returning to a humble position. All in all,
