Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 380, dare not retreat
The huge and spacious table may have followed the king of Pingxi County for a long time, and it also has great power. The box placed on it is faint and small against the backdrop, and the jade wall inside the box is held up high.

The nearly perfect mutton fat white jade was carved with a geographical map. The Prince of Pingxi County, who came back not long ago, stared at it, frowning into the shape of Sichuan.

This is the geographical map of the Northwest. General Zhen Guo is here to demonstrate, showing that he knows the complete terrain of the Northwest?

There are also eight dragon and phoenix characters on the jade wall. Prince Pingxi has been with the young prince who joined the army at the age of eight for two years, and he can recognize the calligraphy he practiced every day at that time.

"A good couple is born, and the four parties celebrate."

There is a seal next to it, which is engraved with the "Seal of Eternal Green". Of course, Pingxi County King knows that this is Yun Zhan's external word. His surname is Yun Zhan, and his name is Yongqing.

Externally, this sentence refers to when Yun Zhan was eight years old when he loved to read miscellaneous books. When he saw a poem or article that was good after all, he gave himself another name. When he was not married, he used to use "Master of Red Mud" Correspondence with Yuanxiu, besides, Yunzhan has more than a dozen accounts, and King Pingxi knows five or six of them.

This time, he directly used his own words instead of his nickname. Does this mean that General Zhen Guo is upright and revealing his official authority?

King Pingxi was thinking about Yubi silently, and the people standing next to him were thinking about him silently, including his brother Tang Meng, Yuan Yuan who came to propose marriage, Hou Ping Yunfei who gave the gift, three young generals Lei Zhong, Ji Quan and Meng Guang. , Another man dressed as a literati just walked over.

The jade wall shines brightly on the case table, Lei Zhong, Ji Quan and Meng Guang can't understand that it exudes the power of the general of the country and the power of the tiger on the case table, but the young general of the family can see the value of the jade wall Liancheng, each of them took it out at home to make troubles, and couldn't help but blacken their faces together.

Lei Chong said angrily: "Your Majesty, you can make a marriage by force? Minger asked my father to send Mingzhu. My family has a thousand pearls. I thought you would send them to me as soon as you were satisfied."

Ji Quan also said loudly: "I have an eight-treasure screen in my house."

Meng Guang said angrily: "My family has a peerless sword, the sword is only suitable for the county master."

Prince Pingxi seemed to have never heard of it, and his eyes were still looking at Yubi quietly. The backs of the three young generals felt cold, and their hearts were half cold.

It's not surprising that those who beg for marriage are forced to give the betrothal gift. When a woman begs from a hundred families, many people forcibly leave the betrothal gift. Said it was a congratulatory gift, but it was a priceless engagement ceremony. The three young generals deliberately said that they forced the engagement, in order to provoke Pingxi County King to drop this jade wall, or return it.

If the county king wants to keep it, there is only half the possibility of civil servants in the inland court asking for marriage. What about the remaining half, such as the approval of the county head, Master Qi's kung fu and so on.

This half of the county king's approval is too important, because if he returns to Yubi, it is half impossible for Mr. Qi.

No matter how loud it is, Lei Zhong didn't want to give up, he said in a low voice: "If the county lord comes to my house, my whole family will be hers." This ready-made sentence is not in vain, Ji Quan said: "Me too."

Meng Guang hurriedly followed: "Me too."

King Pingxi waved his hand. Lei Zhong, Ji Quan, and Meng Guang were all cold. The king thought they were talking too much and asked them to withdraw from the king's tent. The three young generals couldn't figure it out. Yubi should have withdrawn. Bar?
Seeing that they didn't leave, Tang Meng said softly: "Go and rest, don't make trouble here." The three young generals came out angrily, their eyes were red all the same, before they came, they regarded the county magistrate as the white swan he was after, but now The county owner seems to be a cooked duck flying at any time.

Lei Zhong was crying. This young man with a strong family heritage and who didn't frown even when he was injured on the battlefield was extremely frustrated: "Why?" He squatted down outside the king's tent with his head in his arms. He refused to leave and wanted to wait. Xia and the county king said that Ji Quan had no plan today, and followed Lei Zhong in a panic, and Meng Guang did the same. The three of them squatted outside in a circle, listening to the movements that could be caught in the tent.

You can run horses in the king's tent, so you can't hear it, but the speaker must stand at the mouth of the tent and speak, and you can't catch every word if you have bad hearing.

They saw the two gift-giving stewards step inside the tent and outside the tent, and said loudly: "Thank you, the king, for returning the gift. We will take good care of your king's flag."

After speaking, he walked away.

The six eyes of Lei Zhong were shocked. There is no such thing as body language in this dynasty, but people's facial expressions can express richly no matter which dynasty or generation they are. "You must know that this is the king's tent of the county king.

Do you dare to be disrespectful?
How dare you be disrespectful.

Well, we serve you.

The three young generals were so shocked that they forgot what Hou Ping and Yunfei said to be really rude. They said that they had already made a wedding ceremony, so they couldn't think of pursuing the fact that these two men didn't hold the Wang Qi in their hands, which didn't match what they said.

The three young generals poked their heads in to see the reaction of Pingxi County King. Pingxi County King is not really reckless, he is really deep. No matter how straightforward a county king scolds on the surface, the environment also determines that he cannot be really careless.

Wang Qi was given to Yun Zhan ten years ago, and Hou Ping Yunfei's words were a rogue, Pingxi County King didn't have the time to argue with his servants, he was busy asking Yuan Yuan to come to his side, and asked in a low voice: "Old Yuan, what are you doing?" Tell me the truth, what is your mission when you come to my northwest?"

Yuan Yuan thought to himself why do you still not believe it?
Seeing that you are so solemn, someone should have checked me a long time ago. In my last yamen, an adult should have come, but he refused to come and pushed me out like a scapegoat. Could it be that you can't find out, this matter Everyone knows.

The superiors pushed me to the Northwest together. I thought that I was not a errand, and my heart was not fair. I held the words "The place you dare not come, if I do a good job, I will wait until you find out in a year and a month. It is good to shame you." "My husband and I have simple luggage, and we will be on the road that day.

As a result, the Shangguan were so ashamed at that time that they sent someone to catch up with them and gave them a sum of money, which was settled on the same day.

Yuan Yuan didn't explain anymore, since the county king didn't believe it anyway, he replied with Tang Meng's words not long ago: "Working for the people of the world, this is the only job in my life."

These words just soothed Prince Pingxi, he stared at Yuan Yuan for a moment, and smiled slightly: "Old Yuan, you will do what you say." If you work for the common people, you should be considerate of my situation. Endless suspicion, and I have always been suspicious of the endless plots and tricks of Guiguzi and 36 schemes in the south.

You should be considerate of me. After all, my family has contributed to the Northwest for generations. We have taken care of the people here.

Tang Meng knew what his brother was thinking, and nodded in agreement, although Yuan Yuan didn't look at him.

Yuan Yuan bowed his hands to the King of Pingxi County, saying firmly, "There is nothing wrong with Yuan Yuan."

The King of Pingxi County relaxed, his energy level came back, and he was thinking about miscellaneous things again. He glanced at Yubi sideways and turned his eyes. Son, your nephew can continue to ask the county magistrate for marriage."

Yuan Yuan laughed, and he was also secretly worried about the dull atmosphere just now. At this time, Bing Po Han Bing was still the same Hu Chai King of Pingxi County.

He also responded with a joke: "What is the reason for this? Didn't you already return the engagement ceremony?"

Prince Pingxi pretended to glare, and before he opened his eyes, he asked with a smile: "By the way, your surname is Yuan, and his surname is Qi. Why are they a pair of uncles and nephews? Could it be that you were rejected by your family since you were a child and sent to Yuan's family?" superior?"

Yuan Yuan explained to him in detail: "We are neighbors, and his Qi family went to the imperial examination, and he always asked my father for advice. Brother Yue was also taught by my father before the imperial examination. Although Brother Yue is my nephew, he is also my father's protégé. "

There are two suspicious people in Northwest Camp, one is Yuan Yuan and the other is Qi Yue. King Pingxi has already known about their relationship, but he wants Yuan Yuan to say it again, so he laughed. Voice: "Look, we never catch up with the imperial examinations, just because we are afraid of messing up the seniority. You inland people really know how to play, sometimes you are nephews, sometimes you are brothers and sisters, haha,"

Yuan Yuan replied bluntly: "You people from the Northwest can also play, sometimes you are a county king, and sometimes you are a street bastard, and you speak the language of the market."

Prince Pingxi's laughter stopped abruptly, Yuan Yuan accepted it when he saw it was good, said goodbye, turned around and left.

Did he know the temper of the county king in the northwest for two years, so he replied directly?Yuan Yuan used to have this temper. His father dared to go to the Golden Palace to admonish him with death. He was terrified because he didn't die, but the rest of the reluctance was still there. When he taught his son, he still "speaks when there is remonstrance".

Yuan Yuan bumped into walls everywhere in the former yamen, which had something to do with him not giving money and daring to speak out.

The king of Pingxi County scolded him and Qi Yue for messing up their seniority, and it would be impossible not to return.

Watching Yuanyuan walk out of the tent, King Pingxi sneered again, and said to the man dressed as a gentleman beside him: "Look, I want to treat him with the same heart as I treat you, but he is a Taishan, I can't subdue him. "

The man's name was Zhang Tai, the gentleman who beat the dog with meat buns in Yunzhan. He sent Zhang Tai to the Northwest in order to know the right and wrong of the Northwest, but Zhang Tai was convinced by the King of Pingxi County, and moved his family to the Northwest, officially announcing that he would get rid of the former Shangguan.

If the Pingxi County King had ulterior motives, Zhang Tai would not be subdued by him. Hearing the words at this time, he also knew that this was the county king’s complaint. Pingxi County King has a lot of energy to be curious about everything. I am very interested, and I don't mind competing with Yun Zhan again.

Of course, don't send your daughter.

Zhang Tai smiled and said: "If the king of the county puts his mind on Mr. Qi first, I see that he and Wang Ergou, a small captain in charge of the wharf, often come and go. I am afraid that there is a lot of gossip in the northwest, so I have already written it in an official document and sent it to him. The Ministry of Officials in Beijing."

"Whoever is afraid of gossip, Beijing is full and wants to listen to gossip, one day you chat with Qi Yue, dump a few carts, let him have endless official documents, so as not to think about my daughter. Hmph, one People in a small market town dare to think about it. "Pingxi County King has no outsiders in front of him, and when he doesn't scold Zhiniang as a thief, his conversation can be seen to be gentle.

Zhang Tai smiled and said: "Yes, I just wanted to make friends with Mr. Qi, and I have been waiting for an opportunity to come to the door. Today this jade wall is delivered, but it is all right. I have an excuse to admire him and make friends with him. I will go later Take a look at his injuries and say hello to him a thing or two."

Prince Pingxi seemed to be reminded, but in fact, he didn't keep his eyes off Yubi all the time. At this time, he said to Yubi as if he had just woken up from a dream: "I'm bullying, I don't dare to back down, I'm bullying."

He still didn't dare to retreat, if he did, he would formally fight against Yun Zhan, no matter how happy the county king was in the fief, Yun Zhan would be his immediate boss.

Zhang Tai and Tang Meng blew more than ten times in one breath, and when the phews came to an end, Tang Meng reminded: "Brother, can we always take a look at the weapons sent this time?"

Prince Pingxi walked away, cursing and cursing: "Don't let me see, I beat out his bird eggs, mother thief, bastard, beat Laozi's king's flag."

Cursing all the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony is outside the camp, it is at noon, and it is the hottest time of the day, the king of the county scolded himself profusely, and came quickly Next to the salute car.

There are a bunch of people around here, some of the generals saw the king of the county coming to salute, and asked him to give an explanation: "We all recognize this uncle, everyone has a share in this ceremony, and we should share some of it."

Hua Tianyu has already had people urge Yuan Yuan to leave now, otherwise there will be thousands of people in the camp, and there will be no scum left after dividing this etiquette.

After listening to the music, King Pingxi nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, this is the son-in-law of the Northwest. This king agrees, haha,"

Hua Tianyu became angry all of a sudden, shouted loudly, got on his horse, took off his weapon and put it out: "Deputy General Hong, you stay with Lao Yuan, and the rest of you escort the carriage, come with me."

King Pingxi pulled him down angrily, with a gloomy face: "I'll just take a look at the weapon, can't I?"

"No!" Hua Tianyu replied angrily.

"I'm older than you!"

"Look!" Hua Tianyu's words were soft, but his voice was not soft.

The soldiers hurriedly opened a weapon cart, and the cart was full of large boxes as tall as a person. It was not easy to move them down, and it would be just as troublesome to move them up and tie them up later. Hua Tianyu watched their operations , holding the weapon and whirling in circles.

With a sound of gasping, Hua Tianyu thought of stepping up to take a look, and immediately burst into joy, shouting: "This son-in-law is really nice, this is what I want."

When Hou Pingyunfei walked back last time, Hua Tianyu said that the iron inlay on his city gate was damaged, and he could get pig iron, but there was no good blacksmith. Arrows, the city gate is broken, and the weapons should be strengthened.

Guxi’s city gates are made of iron-clad wood. If they were all iron gates, they would not be able to be opened in time due to their weight. The small border towns did not have such a luxury. They just wrapped a layer of iron on the outside. The iron was broken into pieces. If there is a good blacksmith, it can be cleaned up and melted into molten iron, and maybe part of it can be recast, but there is no good blacksmith in Guxi.

The border towns that have been fighting all the year round have all kinds of damage, and there are reasons why they can't make up for it in time. Hua Tianyu paid special attention to the weapons sent by the uncle in Jingli, and the whole city of Guxi held Yuanyuan and his wife in the palm of their hands.

It's good to have weapons in hand, and there are three additional replenishment times a year, all of which are new weapons, and the king of Pingxi County is not afraid of wearing small shoes.
