Chapter 604: He Shou Borrows a Knife and Borrows a Knife!
However, Qian Ning was not in the inner factory of the Xixin Division inside Xi'an Gate. To be more precise, he was not there when the little emperor ordered Wei San to be taken to the inner factory in anger. Because on this day
It was the birthday of Ma Qiao, the commander of the former army avant-garde who was transferred to the Jinyi Guard. Many officers of the former army avant-garde in Beijing went to Ma's house to congratulate him, and in the evening they chose to hold a banquet in a building in Bensi Hutong.
, and called several famous top names to accompany him and perform. Qian Ning learned from some channels that Xu Xun actually planned to meet these old subordinates in person at night, so he left the house early.
Taking advantage of his current position of authority, he was able to time the jam very accurately. Almost as soon as Xu Xunfu got off his horse, he received the signal and came from the other side at full speed, reined in his horse and stopped behind Xu Xun and his party, and then landed neatly.
He jumped off the horse and handed the reins to a young boy who came forward to greet him, and then he faced the boy who turned around with a bright face.
"I actually invited the Marquis for Lao Ma's thirty-fifth birthday. If the boys above knew about it, there would be a big sensation."
"Thirty-five years old is a hurdle. The first one is standing at thirty, and the next one is forty without doubts. Naturally, it should be well celebrated. How can I not come to such a big day? Besides, I am just an idle person now, not like you.
I'll grab you from the inner factory and the east factory. He's really a busy man." Since people were coming and going in this alley, Xu Xun's voice was naturally not loud. He was joking and seeing Qian Ning being humble, he gestured with his empty hand and said, "Come on.
Let's go up together. Speaking of which, the Maqiao upstairs, plus you and me, can be said to be the third generation of commanders after the rebirth of the government's avant-garde. If a large number of people were not in Jinan to suppress the bandits, today would be even more lively."
"Yes, yes, if Zhang Zong said that Qi Jiliang, Xu Yanche and the three of them are here, he would probably go crazy."
In front of Xu Xun, Qian Ning hid a trace of hostility towards the three young men from aristocratic families. He entered the building while joking and walked to the reserved third floor without saying a word. However, he followed the stairs to the third floor.
Upstairs, the two people walking at the front didn't have time to look around to find someone familiar. But immediately a man who looked like a captain came up to stop them, but his tone was extremely polite.
"Boy, I'm sorry, today the third floor is reserved for us Jinyiwei and Fujun avant-garde. Why don't we go elsewhere..."
As soon as he said this, a man who looked like a school captain came up from behind and hit the man in front of him on the back of the head. Then he nodded and smiled at Xu Xun and Qian Ning: "Master Marquis,
Mr. Qian, I really didn’t know that you two actually took time out of your busy schedule to come here. If Mr. Ma knew about it, he would be extremely happy. Please come here quickly!"
Xu Xun knew that the dumbfounded captain didn't recognize him, but he was quite satisfied with his polite and polite attitude just now. He recognized the person next to Li Yifeng as a member of the Baihu family. He smiled and nodded, and then looked at the terrified person.
The captain smiled and said: "Ignorance is not a crime, don't blame him. On such a great day as today, don't just let people stay outside. Just take turns to go in and drink Lao Ma a cup of longevity wine, which is considered a touch of his birthday star."
Weng’s blessing!”
Since Xu Xun said so, the hundred households naturally nodded with smiles on their faces. After sending the people in, he smiled at the frightened captain and said: "You're lucky, you didn't yell or put on airs just now, look.
The Marquis seems to have a good impression of you, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked you to go have a cup of birthday wine. Whether it’s to say a nice word for you in front of Mr. Li or Mr. Ma, you’re already well-off. If you meet someone else
But not so lucky!"
"real?"
"Nonsense, you have to remember to treat us later..."
Naturally, Xu Xun didn't know about the joking chatter between the two people outside. He and Qian Ning turned around the screen and went in. They were among the crowd of people who had just exchanged wine and hugged a woman and were having fun. Someone with sharp eyes immediately recognized the two of them. Suddenly,
As the first person stood up in a panic, it immediately affected the others like a tide, and some people even knocked over their cups in panic. As the host, Ma Qiao was even more surprised. After taking a few steps forward,
, he said unnaturally: "Master Hou, Mr. Qian, why did you wake up here?"...
"Why, you, the birthday girl, didn't call us and we came on our own. Is it possible that it's our fault?"
"No, no, no." Ma Qiao, who was a little drunk, immediately shook his head like a rattle, and then said with some embarrassment, "It's not about longevity. Besides, it was just Brother Li and his brothers who heard about it and started making noises.
I want to give a good congratulations, and I also want to make it fun, so I booked the venue here, so that everyone can relax together..."
Li Yifeng, known as Brother Li, also came up to him, but he was very wise and one step behind Ma Qiao. Now that Ye Guang has gone, although he has already been promoted to one level and will be promoted to another level soon, but if
Although Ma Qiao, a close minister of the emperor, was not in charge of the situation, he was still not qualified to be in charge of the guards. And Ma Qiao was not a person who took power. He reported everything diligently, and the other parties hardly paid much attention to it, so
This time it was Ma Qiao's birthday, so he would take the opportunity to do something to show respect for the new Tishuai. But he had expected that Xu Xun might come, but he didn't expect Qian Ning to follow behind.
"Since Mr. Hou and Mr. Qian are here, we naturally want them. Come, come, take a seat."
Seeing Li Yifeng's diligent response to the guest's request, Xu Xun smiled and said: "Come on, you are not an outsider either. Lao Ma followed me through the wind and rain! If you want to sit down, I'll set up a seat next to you.
Give us two drinks and listen to a little tune for everyone to have a good time. I know you are joining in to celebrate Lao Ma’s birthday, so Qian Ning and I will put down our share when the time comes! Lao Ma, I’ll send you birthday gifts to your home, so you can go back to your own home
Let’s go and see what good stuff it is!”
Qian Ning took out a small box from his arms with a smile, stuffed it into Ma Qiao's hand without any explanation, but said bluntly: "I can't think of anything to give you for your birthday.
, I gave this little gadget to my sister-in-law to wear."
After doing this, Xu Xun and Qian Ning naturally sat next to Maqiao. As Xu Xun said before, the three of them are the three generations of commanders of the front line of the government army, even though they are so close to each other.
It is rare now, but Ma Qiao talked about the past of military training with a bit of drunkenness. Xu Xun did not bring his own complaints when he was sent to the Xuanfu, and Zhu Houzhao claimed to be a child.
The Marquis came to hang out every day, and even Wang Shouren forgot to mention this taboo for a while... Despite this, both Xu Xun and Qian Ning were reminded of the good times when they started to make a fortune.
However, when Xu Xun saw that the four people were restrained and did not dare to act arrogantly, he knew that his great god pestle would be in the way after all, so after drinking three glasses of wine, he asked the people outside to come and have a drink each.
Immediately, he pulled Ma Qiao outside to the window. Seeing that he woke up a little after blowing the cold wind, he patted Ma Qiao on the shoulder and said: "Although you are not the commander of the Palm Print in the vanguard of the Fu army, you are also
To be honest, I feel aggrieved to be in this Jinyiwei..."
Ma Qiao was shaking his head trying to wake up from his drunkenness. Hearing this, he was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "Master Hou, I have never felt wronged..."
"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have transferred you to sit in charge for a while until the Jin Yiwei came." Xu Xun smiled slightly, and then said, "But only if you are transferred here, can you be promoted to a level naturally. Go back and wait for the Jin Yiwei.
After you have settled down, I will transfer you out of the capital. You can choose among the nine towns. I will choose a good boss for you to train for a few years. After ten or eight years, if you can really practice it, it will not be difficult to take charge of a party.
Of course, if you think the border town is not good and just want a leisurely life. Among the thirteen capitals in the world, if any one is handsome, it will be cheaper. If you want to stay in the capital, it is fine. But the commanders of the capital are all idle
Difference."
"Master Hou..." Ma Qiao's face turned red for a moment, and after a while he said calmly, "The humble position does not mean a person with great ability. The person who is here today is all because of the cultivation of the Marquis. I have nothing to say, in the future the Marquis will need the humble position
Wherever you go, you can go wherever you have a humble job!”….
Xu Xun looked at Ma Qiao with a smile, but his eyes went beyond his face and fell on the shadow behind him. Instinctively, he knew that Qian Ning was there. So, he said a few words of comfort to him, and then he took the
The person turned back again, and sure enough he saw Qian Ning at the entrance of the two screens. However, Qian Ning did not notice the awkwardness in the corner at all, but said with a smile: "The top guy inside said he wanted to perform a dance for Lao Ma.
, just waiting for the master to take the seat today!"
It wasn't until the end of the song and dance that Xu Xun stood up to say goodbye, and he was determined not to let anyone else see him off, so he went downstairs. However, as soon as he reached the second floor, he heard someone running behind him and chasing after him quickly.
When he came up, he looked back and saw who else could it be if it wasn't Qian Ning? So, he had to stop and say with a smile, "Why, you have something urgent to go back too?"
"No, is it convenient for the Marquis to find a place to talk? There is a back door to this building, so we can find a private place to talk."
Xu Xun stared at Qian Ning for a long time, and finally nodded slightly. When the two of them ordered the other followers to wait outside, and only took one or two close guards to go out from the other side, Qian Ning was familiar with the way and invited Xu Xun to come.
He sat down at an empty tea stall in an alley except for the shopkeeper. After personally carrying the teapot and filling Xu Xun with tea, he said sincerely: "Master Hou, I just received news that I have been ordered to go to Beijing."
The boat of Lin Jun, the new right adjutant of the imperial censor, capsized in the Cao River from Tianjin to the capital. Although he was not seriously injured, he was slightly frightened."
This sudden news made Xu Xun look extremely grim for a moment. He had no doubt that Qian Ning would lie. After filtering out a few people who would be detrimental to Lin Jun in his mind, he finally took a deep breath and said:
"As long as people are fine, it's fine. Lin Daiyong is not someone who is easily intimidated by such trivial things."
Seeing that his first sentence was effective, Qian Ning said sincerely: "Mr. Lin is well-known throughout the Southern Capital. He is an outstanding figure among the elites and has high expectations. Regarding his appointment as the Metropolitan Procuratorate,
There are many people who are dissatisfied, but the last possible one is Eunuch Liu. To be honest with you, although I am now in charge of Neichang and Dongchang, I do not have all my subordinates under control, so I cannot guarantee that it is true.
No one is involved in this incident. It's shameful to say that the inner factory used to be staffed by the old staff of Xixin Company, not to mention the east factory. After cleaning up the old people of Eunuch Qiu, now they are using new ones.
The one who was transferred was Eunuch Liu’s confidant, Chief Wei San Zhang..."
Hearing Qian Ning talk so incessantly again, using the same method as giving Qiu Ju eye drops in front of him, severely amplifying Wei San's harm dozens of times, Xu Xun's lips unknowingly curled up.
He smiled, and finally said with a half-smile: "If you think that Wei San is a capable eagle dog under Mr. Liu's command, then go back to the Xixin Company's factory immediately. Maybe at this moment, this person is...
I'll hold you there and listen to you."
Although it was previously known that when the young emperor was in the Xu Mansion, Ma Yongcheng and Wei Bin Luoxiang, who had suffered losses at the hands of Wei San, also went to the Xu Mansion for help, but Qian Ning really did not expect such a person to be extremely powerful in front of Liu Jin.
He was pulled off the horse so easily and delivered to his own hands for punishment. He didn't get any news in advance, so he was extremely surprised for a while.
However, looking at Xu Xun's smiling eyes, he suddenly realized that he wanted to borrow Xu Xun's knife, but in an instant the other party turned the handle of the knife and stuffed it directly into his hand. Even though he wanted to give him a lesson.
This Wei San, by the way, has established absolute authority over Neichang and Dongchang, but at this moment, this situation is what he wants to avoid the most, because this is actually the most difficult choice question of either/or!
However, it is not that he has never played tricks in front of Xu Xun, but he always planned it secretly instead of performing it on the spot. When competing with Xu Xun in person, who had already made plans, he did not overshadow the opponent's chance of winning at all, so,
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The Marquis is wise. Since I have already planned to capture this person, I am humble enough to ask you to give me some advice."
"You only need to tell Eunuch Liu that even if Wei San falls, he can still support thousands of people. There are many eunuchs in the palace. It is easy to find someone more handy than him, and then forget all the previous things.
With a push from Wei San, the emperor's anger was naturally dissipated."
Qian Ning understood immediately and secretly regretted that he had been so distracted by the sudden incident that he had forgotten the simplest principle of losing a pawn to save a car. After checking that Xu Xun had no other intentions, he stood up immediately
He came to say goodbye and left, and Xu Xun looked at his retreating back and murmured softly.
"Although it is a good idea to lose soldiers to protect the chariot, if you lose too many soldiers, you will accumulate more grievances. However, the grievances of the host may not be resolved, nor can the emperor's displeasure and annoyance."
I'm afraid that Liu Jin was thinking about how to resolve Zhu Houzhao's anger at this time. I remember that after Qian Ning came back, Liu Jin had been trying not to let anyone see Zhu Houzhao. He should still be hesitating about King Ning. In this case, let Lin Jun
The person who hates King Ning the most should light a fire! At this time, if the boat capsizes on the Cao River, those people will not escape. Even if King Ning did not do it, he will still fall on their heads! (To be continued. If you like this work
