The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 298 Grandpa Shi Yanchao

"Grandpa doesn't care whether you are Shi Yanchao or Wang Yanchao! There are many people called Yanchao in the world. Who knows where you, a black bear spirit, came from."

Zhu Xiu was so angry that he blurted out a curse without even thinking about it.

Suddenly, the cursing stopped, and Zhu Xiu looked up at the vicious man with a ferocious face, her eyes widening little by little.

"Are you Shi Yanchao?" Zhu Xiu felt that his lips were trembling.

The ferocious man nodded his huge head with a ferocious smile.

Zhu Xiu swallowed, cupped her hands and said cautiously: "May I ask? How many people with the same name and surname are there under Guo Shuai?"

The big man stretched out his thumb to rub his nostrils and sneered: "There are many people named Yanchao, but the only one named Yanchao is Grandpa!"

Zhu Xiu was slightly startled, and his face changed very quickly, showing a look of reverence and excitement: "I dare to ask, but it's the commander of Long Jie's army, the most powerful general under Guo Shuai, Shi Yan, who is known as 'the best in horse fighting and invincible in battle' Super General?"

Now it was Shi Yanchao's turn to be stunned, as if he had never seen anyone change his face so quickly.

Just now, he was pointing at himself and shouting curses without fear. After announcing his name, he immediately changed into a flattering face.

However, he didn't reach out to hit the smiling man. Shi Yanchao slowly lowered his raised palm.

Zhu Xiu's flattering smile seemed to be fixed on her face, but her eyes were always fixed on the bear-like black palm, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the black palm put down.

If this slap fell and hit him with a force of several hundred kilograms, he would not be allowed to lie in bed to recuperate for three to five months?

If he was injured before he left the army, missed the opportunity to support Uncle Guo to enter the capital, and missed the success of Conglong, it would be a big loss.

When the time comes, even if Shi Xiangwen beats the black bear ten times, he still won't be relieved.

Shi Yanchao noticed that Zhu Xiu's eyes were quite dishonest. He pointed his thick finger at the tip of his nose and scolded: "What a smooth-tongued boy! Grandpa was almost deceived by you! Don't get close to grandpa! How dare you call grandpa a black bear spirit? You are the only one under the commander-in-chief!"

Zhu Xiu raised his hands and said: "General Shi, please calm down. I have never met General Shi before, so I didn't recognize him for a while. As the saying goes, it's not strange for those who don't know. I don't think General Shi has the same knowledge as me, right?"

Shi Yanchao sneered and said, "You are really shameless, if grandpa hits you, others will say that I bully children, and the commander-in-chief can't spare me!"

"Hehe~ Thank you General Shi for your magnanimity!" Zhu Xiu said with a flattering smile.

Shi Yanchao pointed at Red Boy: "If you sell me the horse, grandpa will treat it as if nothing happened! If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just give me grandpa's name!"

Zhu Xiu looked embarrassed and said: "This horse is young and has not yet grown up. I am afraid it will not be able to carry the mighty body of General Shi! How about this? I will invest in the selection of a good horse for General Shi to ensure that it can be worthy of General Shi." General."

He has long heard that Shi Yanchao is a domineering, unreasonable, and unreasonable person. Zhu Xiu will not fight him hard, but first find a way to stabilize him before talking.

Zhu Xiu's eyes wandered around, looking for reinforcements.

Shi Yanchao grabbed the reins: "Grandpa likes this horse! This horse is all oily and smooth, with bright coat, teeth and bones. It is an adult. How can it be young? You kid is just talking nonsense~"

Zhu Xiu held on to the reins tightly and couldn't get it back with all her strength. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Chai Rong and others walking towards this side. He jumped up and waved, shouting: "Chai Shuai, help me!"

The sudden cry for help attracted a lot of attention, but when they saw Shi Yanchao, many people turned their eyes subconsciously and pretended not to see it.

They would rather reason with Li Chongjin than start a dispute with Shi Yanchao. This was the consensus silently followed by Guo Wei's generals.

Chai Rong turned around and looked. At first, his sight was blocked by Shi Yanchao's huge body, and he didn't see Zhu Xiu. He didn't see Zhu Xiu until Zhu Xiu jumped up and waved.

Chai Rong gave instructions to the people beside him and walked over quickly.

Shi Yanchao stretched out his black palm angrily, trying to grab Zhu Xiu and cover his mouth, but Chai Rong arrived just in time and scolded: "General Shi, don't be rude!"

Shi Yanchao retracted his hand, and Zhu Xiu took the opportunity to hide behind Chai Rong, his expression changed, and he looked aggrieved after being bullied.

"Reporting to Commander Chai, General Shi wants to snatch Xiaguan's mount! Xiaguan tried his best to stop him, but General Shi still wanted to use force. If Commander Chai hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Xiaguan would have been beaten to death by General Shi. !"

Zhu Xiu took the lead and complained angrily.

"Bah! You kid, stop farting!" Shi Yanchao was furious, clenching his huge fists like copper hammers, "If grandpa had taken action, would you still be alive today? Also, when did grandpa snatch your horse?"

"You blocked my way for no reason and forced me to sell my horse to you. If I didn't sell my horse, you would beat me. Isn't this an act of intimidation and banditry? You are still a general under the commander-in-chief. What is the difference between doing this and being a bandit? The commander-in-chief's behavior I’ve lost all my face by you!”

Zhu Xiu yelled angrily, opened her mouth and pointed at Shi Yanchao, saying a series of words without pausing for breath.

The onlookers were greatly impressed. Apart from the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief Chai, this was the first time they saw anyone dare to reprimand Shi Yanchao in person.

Shi Yanchao's face turned red with anger, and his copper bell ox's eyes flashed fiercely.

"You should stop saying a few words." Chai Rong shouted angrily, dumbfounded.

"I obey the order!" Zhu Xiu bowed respectfully and smacked his lips with unfinished meaning.

Just now, many people saw Shi Yanchao blocking his way and making trouble, but unfortunately no one dared to stand up and say something fair.

On the one hand, he was afraid that Shi Yanchao would commit a crime, but on the other hand, he also wanted to see Zhu Xiu's joke.

After all, he has been with Guo Wei and Chai Rong for the past few days, and has met with most of the major generals. Everyone knows that he is the new celebrity around the Marshal and the Young Marshal.

Everyone wanted to see what other abilities this young man, who was known as a hermit disciple and a prodigy of the world, had in addition to some past achievements, could win the attention of the commander and his son.

Zhu Xiu is not a rookie who has just entered the society, let alone a newbie in the workplace.

Now that he has joined Guo Wei, he will inevitably have to deal with Guo Wei's old subordinates in the future, and he will also have to work hard to integrate into the circle composed of this group of military generals. He must not be easily seen by others.

It just so happened that Shi Yanchao, a big thorn in the side, came to stir up trouble, just in time to show these armed leaders, large and small, that he, Zhu Xiu, was not someone who was afraid of getting into trouble.

Want to bully us for being new here?Want to see our jokes?First, consider your own weight in front of the commander!

Zhu Xiu glanced at the generals with his peripheral vision and snorted secretly in his heart.

Chai Rong knew Shi Yanchao's temperament, and he was so happy to see Zhu Xiu's horse that he found it entirely possible. After all, Red Boy was indeed a rare Jinshan horse king.

Military generals love horses as much as their lives, and Shi Yanchao has done this kind of thing more than once by forcefully buying and selling horses.

Seeing Shi Yanchao's angry and unclear eyes, Chai Rong knew that what Zhu Xiu said was true, and immediately his face darkened and shouted: "Nonsense!
Today's gathering of troops at the school grounds is a major military event. How can we allow you to linger here?The commander-in-chief has not arrived yet. If the commander-in-chief arrives and finds out about this, how will you explain it? "

Zhu Xiu bowed and stood in awe with lowered hands. Shi Yanchao defended hurriedly: "Young General, you must not listen to this little thief's nonsense! I want his horse, but I also said that I will let him ask for the price." , I can afford it no matter how much money I have!" Zhu Xiu sneered and murmured: "General Shi is rich and wealthy, which is really amazing! You are willing to pay, but I am not willing to sell it! I will pay five thousand dollars to ask General Shi to get naked. I wonder if General Shi would be willing to sing a song in public?"

There was a puff, and someone around him couldn't hold back his laughter, followed by a series of snickers that were trying hard to hold back.

"Wow~! The little thief is really hateful!" Shi Yanchao screamed angrily, wanting to reach out and grab Zhu Xiu from Chai Rong's back and beat him up.

"Zhu Xiu, shut up! General Shi must not be rude!" Chai Rong pretended to be serious, but couldn't help but smile.

"General Shi, please don't be violent! You have just returned from ordering troops in Xiangzhou. I think you two have not met yet. Zhu Xiu is the secretary of the camp appointed by the general himself. He assists Wei's military division in managing military aircraft. He is an important member of our army. Don’t lose etiquette when we meet in the future!”

Chai Rong warned Shi Yanchao again.

"Ahem~ The lower official Zhu Xiu has met General Shi!" Zhu Xiu bowed to Shi Yanchao politely.

Shi Yanchao's eyes widened. He didn't expect that this brat with a fat head and a smooth mouth was actually an important member of the Marshal's staff who was advising military aircraft.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

At this moment, the war drums were beating at the top of the city. Along the east side of the city wall, Guo Wei, a man with golden helmet and golden armor, rode straight to the commander's platform, followed closely by his own soldiers carrying the flag of Commander Guo.

"The general has arrived! All troops return to their posts!"

The messenger stood on the general stage and shouted loudly.

"You two come with me!"

Chai Rong looked solemn and led Zhu Xiu and Shi Yanchao to the audience.

No matter how stupid Shi Yanchao was, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Guo Wei. He glared at Zhu Xiu fiercely and remembered his face deeply in his heart.

Zhu Xiu chuckled, as if the quarrel just now had never happened, cupped his hands and whispered: "Xiaguan has purchased several horse farms in Yuanzhou, Jingzhou. If General Shi needs it, Xiaguan can help find a group of good horses for the general." Come on. Don’t worry, the price is absolutely fair!”

Shi Yanchao's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth in annoyance. He was such a shameless boy. He had just humiliated him in front of the Major General, and now he was doing business with a look on his face?

But when he thought of the charcoal red BMW, Shi Yanchao couldn't restrain his love for it. He suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Grandpa wants the best horse in the world!"

Zhu Xiu raised her eyebrows lightly: "There are plenty of good horses, but I'm afraid General Shi can't afford the price!"

Shi Yanchao said angrily: "As long as you have a good horse, Grandpa Jinshan Yinshan will move it for you. Grandpa still owes you a favor!"

Zhu Xiu narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly: "It's a deal!"

"Hmph!~ Wait until you get a good horse first! If you dare to fool a bad horse, even if you are punished by the commander, grandpa will give you a good beating to vent your anger!"

Shi Yanchao shook his fist as big as a sand bowl at him threateningly, then returned to stand among the generals.

Chai Rong and Zhu Xiu stood in front of the general stage, and Wei Renpu stood next to him, nodding and smiling in greeting.

The messengers waved their flags, and the dull sound of horns came from all directions. The war drums suddenly accelerated, and the sound fell in my heart.

Zhu Xiu held her breath and looked up at the general stage. Guo Wei, who was wearing a golden helmet and a blood-red jersey, strode to the front of the stage.

Guo Wei raised his hand and pressed down, and the sound of horns from all sides gradually stopped, and the sound of war drums also fell heavily. The huge military academy was silent, and countless pairs of eyes fell on the high standing platform, on the majestic body wearing golden armor and standing proudly.

Guo Wei glanced around, and with a wave of his hand, two generals tied up a bloody prisoner and escorted him to the stage.

The two generals were Guo Chong and Cao Ying, and the prisoner was Yantuo, the secret envoy sent by Liu Chengyou.

"On November [-]th, in front of the Guangzheng Hall in Kaifeng, the officials executed Shi Hongzhao, Yang Bin, and Wang Zhang, three important officials of the country, and all their family members and friends. Thousands of people were killed in Kaifeng City within two days!"

Guo Wei's desolate voice came from the commander's platform. Fifty steps away, there was a row of loud-sounding sergeants who repeated Guo Wei's words again, and again every fifty steps. In this way, tens of thousands of soldiers spread across the school grounds, Guo Wei's speech can basically be heard.

"This man's name is Yantuo, and he is a boy servant who has served the officials since he was a child. After the Guangzhengdian Incident, he sneaked into Yedu with the official's secret decree, secretly contacted the two generals Guo Chong and Cao Ying, and tried to instruct the two generals to take me. Head, return to the capital and report to the officials to receive the reward!"

Guo Wei pointed at Yan Tuo and said sternly. Guo Chong stepped forward and respectfully handed a piece of silk paper into Guo Wei's hand.

Guo Wei launched a public announcement to all the soldiers, and shouted: "Everyone, please see, this is the imperial edict that the officials want to kill me!"

The soldiers were in an uproar, and a noisy buzz suddenly broke out.

Although everyone had heard the rumors, hearing Guo Wei tell the story personally and seeing the official edict with his own eyes still made all the soldiers feel frightened.

There were soldiers who carried the official decree and sent it to the generals for circulation.

Guo Wei pulled out the Yanling sword from his waist with a bang, stabbed it hard on the general's platform, and shouted sadly: "Since the official has an order to take my head, you should act in accordance with the official order and behead my head." Take a head and send it to Kaifeng, from now on you will serve the officials faithfully, and you must not have half-hearted intentions!"

The whispers disappeared instantly, and countless pairs of eyes stared at the gleaming Yan Fei Dao standing in front of Guo Wei.

Chai Rong looked gloomy and secretly clenched his sword.

Wei Renpu's expression was indifferent, and he raised one hand and put it lightly on his waist, as if ready to drop it at any time.

Zhu Xiu stood behind him, looked at the two men, and then glanced in all directions. Sure enough, he saw a lot of Sergeant Wangyundu with unfamiliar faces, always paying attention to the movements of Chai Rong and Wei Renpu.

Once things change, the secretly ambushing Wang Yundu warriors will suddenly launch a brutal suppression of all generals who dare to have different intentions.

Zhu Xiu's heart trembled. Guo Wei said that he believed that his subordinates were loyal, but he secretly assigned Wei Renpu to make full preparations.

Zhu Xiu was completely unaware of Wangyundu's transfers and arrangements. The only person who really knew how many arrangements Guo Wei had made secretly was Wei Renpu.

Even Chai Rong may not know everything.

"Uncle Guo also said that Wei Renpu was scheming, so why not himself?" Zhu Xiu muttered in his heart.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Zhu Xiu clearly felt that the temperaments of Guo Wei and Chai Rong had changed a lot, becoming more decisive and cruel, and the city became more deep and unpredictable.

Perhaps it was because the murder of Kaifeng's family members was hit too hard, which made the temperament of the two change in a short period of time.

Zhu Xiu sighed secretly and warned himself in his heart that the closer they got to Kaifeng, the closer their father and son would be to that position.

From now on, the king and his ministers will have an orderly hierarchy and clear boundaries.
