Yang Yuanqing did not expect to meet Qin Qiong under such circumstances. This was also a person he admired. After a simple conversation with Shan Xiongxin, he knew that the current Qin Qiong was not much different from the Qin Qiong he knew.
Qin Qiong was a low-level officer under the governor of Yingzhou, Lai Huer. Although he did not have a high military position, he was highly skilled in martial arts and was extremely famous in Shandong. In particular, he was generous with money and filial to his mother. He won a "like Mengchang" and "Sai Zhuan".
nicknames for Zhu.
However, it is said in the novel that Qin Qiong's grandfather was Qin Xu, the leading general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his father was Qin Yi, the general of the Northern Qi army. But in fact, this is not true. His grandfather's name was Qin Fangtai, and his father's name was Qin Ai. They were only civil servants with a low status in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but his family
Because of his huge wealth and Qin Qiong's extraordinary talent, he was able to develop strong martial arts skills.
But he is righteous and forthright, and makes friends with heroes all over the world, which is exactly the same as in the novel.
Soon, Yang Yuanqing met Qin Qiong for the first time. He was about twenty-three or four years old, tall and strong, with a yellowish complexion, a pair of sharp tiger eyes, but his gaze was very calm, and he had a short beard on his chin.
It gives people a feeling of youth and maturity.
Qin Qiong didn't say much. Shan Xiongxin had already told him that Yang Yuanqing did not hesitate to offend King Yang of Qi and rescued him righteously. Like Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong knew very well the principle of never saying thanks for a great favor. He kept his gratitude in his heart and also
He calmly accepted Yang Yuanqing calling him Brother Qin.
In the drunken town of Liren City, in a wine shop, Shan Xiongxin bought wine to calm Qin Qiong's shock. Qin Qiong was also deeply moved by Shan Xiongxin's generosity and righteousness, but he and Shan Xiongxin had a deep friendship and could not feel it in their words.
A feeling.
But for Yang Yuanqing, he still couldn't control his feelings and could not express them in words.
"Brother Yuanqing, I offer you this glass of wine. I don't want to say more words of gratitude. I, Qin Qiong, will always remember your life-saving grace."
Qin Qiong stood up, raised a full bowl of wine above his head with both hands, drank it all in one gulp...turned the bowl down again, and there was no more wine left. He smiled, waved his hand and said: "Yuan Qing, please do as you like."
!”
Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly... and drank a bowl of wine in one gulp. On the grassland, he drank even more generously than this, causing Shan Shanxin to repeatedly praise: "Yuanqing, you have a good drinker!"
"Brother Shan is looking down on me. Does this bowl of wine mean you have a good drinker?"
Yang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "In frontier fortresses, people drink wine with wine bags, without bowls... Once I was gambling with Turkic herdsmen. I drank three big bags of horse nai wine in one go, weighing more than 20 kilograms! Those big Turkic men lifted it up on the spot.
It's not easy to admit defeat and make them admit defeat, but I was so drunk afterwards that I slept for two days and two nights before I woke up. His nainai... the fish manager even gave me a slap on the face, saying that I didn't call him when I was drinking."
After saying that, Yang Yuanqing raised his head and laughed... Qin Qiong was also infected by his arrogance, and laughed too, giving a thumbs up, "Yes, that's what a man should feel like!"
Shan Xiongxin's face was full of envy when he heard this. He patted Qin Qiong hard on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Bao, when are we going to the frontier to have a drink?"
"I will definitely go if I have the chance in the future, but it's not just to drink, but to make contributions...do something big."
Qin Qiong has been in the army for several years. He has been depressed because of his weak background and difficulty in promotion. This time, he was very moved by the fair selection of generals in Beijing... so he came all the way, but unexpectedly he lost his life. Although he wanted Yang Yuanqing to save him
, but his chance to participate in the martial arts examination was gone. His registration certificate was taken away by the county government, and he would not have another chance, which made him feel sad.
At this time, Shan Xiongzhong walked upstairs quickly. Shan Xiongxin was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Have everything been arranged?"
Shan Xiongzhong nodded, found an empty seat to sit down, and then drank the hot tea in front of Shan Xiongxin in one gulp, and then said: "Don't worry! I have sent them out of the city, and they will go to Erxian Village in Luzhou to live for a while.
Mr. Qin doesn't dare to stay in the capital anymore and asked me to sell his house."
Shan Xiongzhong was responsible for settling Qin Qiong's younger brother's family. With King Qi's curious nature, he would not give up if he couldn't get a woman, so it was best to send them out of the capital.
Yang Yuanqing had just had an idea in his mind, but was stopped by the arrival of Shan Xiongzhong. He wanted to push the matter to Jin Wang Yang Zhao and let him use this person to attack Yang, but Shan Xiongzhong sent the witness away instead.
But Yang Yuanqing's mind changed again. If he pushed this matter to Yang Zhao, it would definitely make the matter worse, which would implicate Qin Qiong, which would make his favor unfavorable. It might also offend Shan Xiongxin. This matter cannot be done.
The best outcome is to have both ends and to let nothing go.
Yang Yuanqing glanced at Qin Qiong and saw that Qin Qiong had a sad expression. He understood Qin Qiong's heartache, so he poured him a bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, don't worry too much. The people you hurt are not ordinary people, but the lackeys of King Qi. King Qi
The government will not allow the case to be filed, and the matter will be left undisturbed in the end, and it will not affect your participation in the martial arts competition."
Yang Yuanqing's words undoubtedly gave Qin Qiong reassurance. After all, beating someone to death is a major case. If it can be left alone, it would be the best. However, Qin Qiong is cautious and knows that King Qi will not let it go for a moment. Qin Qiong said: "
It doesn’t matter whether you participate in the martial arts competition now or not. Let’s take a look first and then decide. If the situation goes bad, leave the capital immediately.”
If the number one enemy of King Yang of Qi is his brother Yang Zhao, King of Jin, then the person he hates the most at this moment is Yang Yuanqing. In the battle with Ba Shang, his confidant Qiao Ling broke a rib, and today he killed another one
His subordinate Ku Di Zhongqi broke his shoulder bone, which meant that his entire body was crippled.
Yang stared blankly at an iron arrow on the table. Anger, fear, worry, frustration, regret, all kinds of feelings were tumbling in his heart like a five-flavor bottle that had been knocked over.
He hated Yang Yuanqing so much that he ruined his good deeds and lost his face several times. The table in front of him looked like Yang Yuanqing. He wished he could chop Yang Yuanqing into two pieces with one knife. At this time, Yang was holding a knife in his hand, but this
He couldn't cut it with one knife.
Anger only accounted for 30% of his heart, but fear and worry accounted for 70%. His fear came from a detail told to him by Lou Muyun, the magistrate of Daxing County, that Yang Yuanqing actually owned the Panying Sword of his father, which was given by his father.
The sword given to his father was always worn by him. When his father gave it to Yang Yuanqing, he had no idea about it.
How many secrets are hidden in Yang Yuanqing? Purple gold fish bag, Panying sword, what else? What did Yang Yuanqing do to make his father favor him so favorably? Is the rumor true? Renshou Palace rescued him.
drive.
Yang found that he had too little information, and he knew nothing about many important things. For example, he only found out about the killing of He Ruobi, Yuan Zhou and others after the fact, but Jin Wang Yang Zhao was actually one of the people involved.
Yang suddenly felt restless...pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He was marginalized for such an important matter as moving the capital, but it seemed that his eldest brother was involved...This made Yang very upset. In major military and national decisions, he was marginalized.
Losing points is likely to affect his position in the East Palace.
And what makes Yang regret now is that he shouldn't have caught the new fu today. Yang Yuanqing was involved in this matter. Will he report it to his father, or tell the matter to his elder brother... so that the elder brother can take advantage of him?
There are many things that Yang regrets only after the fact.
At this time, Yang Weiyi hoped that his men would do their job effectively, kill the new fu family and eliminate the evidence. Just as he was thinking about it, Master Liang hurriedly walked in, saluted and said: "Your Highness, my brothers only found out after they went to Changxingfang that the family
Already left the capital."
"Whether it's being hidden or leaving the capital, let's make it clear."
"Reporting to Your Highness, they were leaving the capital. Someone saw their family leaving the city with a lot of things. I also thought that if they were hidden by others, they would not have brought so many things, and basically all the valuable things in their home were emptied.
, indicating that they are leaving the capital."
Liang Shidu's analysis was sound and well-founded, which made Yang feel relieved. Seeing Liang Shidu keep glancing at the iron arrow on the table, he picked up the arrow and handed it to him, "This is Yang Yuanqing's arrow.
Look!"
Master Liang took the arrow and felt his hand sink. It was indeed an iron arrow. He had just discovered that this arrow did not look like a bamboo arrow or a wooden arrow. It turned out to be an iron arrow.
He was secretly surprised. This was the first time he saw someone using iron arrows. How strong a bow does it take to shoot this?
"Tell me, based on this arrow, how many stone bows did Yang Yuanqing use?" Yang asked him.
Master Liang blushed and said, "I really can't judge this humble position. Your Highness might as well ask the other three worshipers."
"Come here, go and bring me some offerings."
The so-called worshipers are Yang's four personal guards. They usually stay together when Yang goes out, and they will not take action easily. These four people are all local powerful people, and they take the initiative to join Yang in order to find a career. Master Liang has the lowest martial arts among them.
He is a very capable person, so he is often exposed, while the other three are only responsible for protecting Yang and will not interfere with other matters.
After a while, two people walked in. The man in front of him was tall and round, with a square face and sharp eyes, especially his pair of striking ears, which made people unforgettable. This man was a strong man from Zhuo County, his name was Lu Mingyue, and he was known as You.
Zhou Baisheng Sword is very accomplished in swordsmanship.
The man behind him is frighteningly tall, at least six feet six, with broad shoulders and a head as big as a bucket. His appearance is extremely ugly, with an indigo complexion and protruding eyes. He looks like a ghost, but his arms are especially long, as if they weigh a thousand pounds.
This person is from Fenyin, Hedong. His surname is Xue Mingju. He moved to Lanzhou with his father when he was young. His family has a fortune of tens of millions and he is a powerful person in Lanzhou.
Although ugly in appearance, Xue Ju was superb in martial arts, especially in archery. Xue Ju saw the arrow in Liang Shidu's hand at a glance, his eyes lit up, he snatched it away, put it in his hand and rubbed it carefully, squinting.
He opened his eyes, as if feeling the power of the iron arrow.
"What did you see?" Yang asked.
Xue Ju smiled lightly and said: "This person should be a disciple of Yu Juluo. I have seen Yu Juluo's iron arrows, which are exactly the same. The only one in the world who uses iron arrows is Yu Juluo."
"What else?"
"This arrow can pierce armor and crack shields. The iron arrow penetrates one foot into the shoulder, which means that he only used 30% of his strength. Generally, those who use iron arrows need at least a strong bow with more than two stones."
"I know the bow of Yinshan Flying General is a strong three-stone bow." Lu Mingyue, who had been silent next to her, said slowly.
"How much do you know about him?" Yang turned around and asked Lu Mingyue.
Lu Mingyue didn't speak much, but he was able to get to the point. He smiled and said: "This man joined the army at the age of ten. He was a fire chief at the beginning. He made great achievements by seizing the Western Turkic King's flag on the Turkic battlefield. Gradually he accumulated achievements and became a partial general.
Although he is the grandson of Yang Su, he has not received any preferential treatment from Yang Su, and he is hundreds of times better than the mediocre sons of the Yang family."
"I'm asking about his martial arts. Don't talk about it. I know all about it."
Yang was a little unhappy when he heard Lu Mingyue's tone of voice praising Yang Yuanqing.
Lu Mingyue said calmly: "This man is a disciple of Zhang Xutuo. Later, he became a disciple of Yu Juluo. He learned to ride and his martial arts were superb. He was known as the first flying general of the frontier and also known as the Yinshan flying general.
.”
When Xue Ju heard that Yang Yuanqing turned out to be a disciple of the North and South Dual Swordsmen, he couldn't help but trembled, and his eyes showed surprise. Then his eyes cast a very expectant look and said to Yang: "Your Highness, this person I want to
Meet him for a while."
Yang nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's what I mean too. This person insulted me too much, so I must vent his anger."
He glanced outside and said with some displeasure: "Where's that bearded guy? Why isn't he here yet?"
Mentioning the big beard, a hint of respect appeared on Xue Ju's face, "He went out in the afternoon, maybe something happened!"
"Forget it then!"
Yang remembered something again and said to the three of them: "The day after tomorrow is my royal aunt's birthday, so I will naturally go to pay my respects. The three of you will accompany me there. If you have anything to do, please arrange it yourself first. I don't want you to ask for leave the day after tomorrow.
.”
"Yes!" The three of them agreed and then retreated.
At this time, Yang asked Chen Zhiwei, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, "What good news do you have for me?"
Chen Zhiwei saluted and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, in the past two days, I have been in contact with several people who know the details of the Yang family and learned some things."
"What's up?"
Yang sat down, picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Tell me about it, I'm very interested."
"Your Highness, Yang Su really valued this Yang Yuanqing, and he did not hesitate to divorce He Ruobi's sister for him back then."
"It's not that."
Yang waved his hand, "Yang Suxiu and He Ruobi's sister are not because of Yang Yuanqing. Those are all excuses. His real purpose is to draw a clear line with He Ruobi. He Ruobi is my uncle. I know this very well. What else is there?"
"I discovered something interesting, which is the conflict between the Yang family."
"What's the contradiction? Just keep talking and don't stop." Yang said a little unhappy.
"Yes! I heard from an insider that although Yang Su only favored Yang Yuanqing, in the clan, Yang Su's brothers and nephews were very dissatisfied with his exclusive favor of Yang Yuanqing, because Yang Yuanqing was a concubine, and Yang Su's exclusive favor of Yang Yuanqing destroyed his legitimate concubine.
The clan rules about elders and younger children violated the interests of the legitimate sons and made the concubines jealous. I heard that Yang Yuanqing is very isolated in the Yang family, and no one has paid attention to him so far."
Yang nodded. Yes, this news was good. It allowed him to find a breakthrough to win Yang Su's support. He smiled with satisfaction: "You have made great achievements many times, and I will reward you well."
Chen Zhiwei was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted and said: "This is what one should do in a humble position. I dare not take credit for it."
After a pause, he continued: "I still have one more important matter for my humble duty. The new Qi Wangfu Cang Cao Shenjun has arrived and is waiting for His Highness to receive him."
Yang frowned, "Just let Liu Changshi meet you. Why do you want me to meet you?"
Chen Zhiwei stepped forward and whispered a few words. Yang's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "You're good! You've really made a great contribution to me this time. Where is he? I'm going to see him now."
