Training Wu Zhou

(Two updates in the morning, please recommend, thank you)

Dongdu, the outskirts of Luoyang.

A few old pagoda trees were planted in an ordinary mansion. Under the tree, an old man was wiping a long knife. After a while, he lifted the knife and wiped it with his hand.

A leaf fell silently and broke into two halves when it met the blade, which shows that this is a good knife.

While the old man was concentrating on playing with the long knife, a woman walked over there. The woman was about 50 years old, holding a porcelain cup, came forward and smiled, "Eat it while it's hot."

Hearing the sound, the old man put the knife beside him, took a sip from the porcelain cup, smacked his lips and said, "Okay."

The woman smiled when she saw this, and sat beside him looking at the empty yard and said softly: "Don't go back this time, wait for the baby to come back to see us."

The old man paused when he heard the sound, slowly put down the porcelain cup in his hand, and said, "Next year."

The woman frowned when she heard the words, and muttered: "How many next year do you have?"

"Bah, talk all this nonsense!" The old man laughed and scolded, and stretched out his hand to embrace the woman, but was pushed away by her and spat: "You are not serious."

"Ha ha!"

The old man laughed. There are three things he is most proud of in his life, one is killing countless people, the other is being a famous general, and the third is marrying the woman in front of him.

Just as the old man was laughing heartily, there were a few light coughs outside the courtyard.

"Cough...cough..."

The old man stopped smiling when he heard the sound, and the woman nodded when she saw this, got up and went back to the house.

Cheng Wuting has a ferocious face, few people see what he looks like when he smiles, maybe only the people next to his pillow can see his different face when he is happy.

"Old General Cheng, cough. The last general, Cheng Huaibi, asks to see you."

Hearing this, Cheng Wuting got up and opened the door, but there was a sick general standing outside the door, it was Cheng Huaibi, the general of imperial guards.

"General Cheng, long time no see."

"Cough...cough...haha." Cheng Huaibi seemed to be very happy to see Cheng Wuting. They had an old general Cheng and a young general Cheng.

The two seemed to have known each other for not a day or two, as soon as Cheng Wuting opened the door, Cheng Huaibi shook the wine and meat in his hand.Then he followed Cheng Wuting into the courtyard.

Cheng Wu said that the house was big or small.The main reason is that a few old locust trees occupy a large area, the two sat on the stone chair, Cheng Huaibi put down the things in his hands, and coughed again.

Not many people know the reason why Cheng Huaibi contracted a strange disease.But it happened that Cheng Wuting was one of them.I saw him coughing worse than before.Two thick eyebrows raised involuntarily.

Cheng Huaibi coughed anxiously and took out a pill from his bosom, then opened the wine jar, and swallowed it with the wine to relieve some pain.Mopping his mouth, he said, "Old General, I don't mind you."

"Heh." Cheng Wuting chuckled, reached out to take the wine jar, raised his head and took a sip.

Then he said: "Although the old general's ax is powerful, I think you should stop practicing."

"Cough..no..cough...no problem." Cheng Huaibi coughed lightly while waving his hands, as if he didn't care.

"Old general, I'm here to deliver a letter."

I don't know if it was the effect of the medicine, or Cheng Huaibi deliberately endured it when it came to business, and finally he no longer had a vague cough and wheezing.

"Turkic people, it's the wrong way." Cheng Huaibi said to deliver the letter, but he didn't rush to take it out, but said in a leisurely manner.

Cheng Wuting was silent at first when he heard the words, then glanced at the long knife in the distance, nodded and said: "I see, I will go back right away."

After that, Cheng Wuting raised his head and shouted to the room: "Come here, bring me my armor!"

Seeing this, Cheng Huaibi said, "Don't worry."

Hearing this, Cheng Wuting sat down, the reason why he was called Fenghuo Liaoyuan, the evil from ancient times, apart from being vicious, it was his soldier's nature, to stop what he ordered.

"This is from Your Majesty." Cheng Huaibi handed the letter to Cheng Wuting. Cheng Wuting took it and read it. Before he finished reading it, he shouted: "No!"

"Hey, old general, His Majesty has made up his mind, and the minister in the cabinet has already discussed it."

"Huaibi, I know you're unwilling, but it's better not to have this opportunity."

Cheng Wuting stared at the calm-looking Cheng Huaibi. Cheng Wuting was half a generation later than his father, but he could be called Cheng Huaibi's father in general. He knew that although Cheng Huaibi had the title of general, the irony was that he was a general who had never led an army. fought.

As Zeng Jin described before, it is better to say that Cheng Huaibi is a spy than a soldier. Wu Zhao can deal with things clearly, but he can deal with things that cannot be revealed secretly.

As for why he became a pawn in Wu Zhao's hands after being a founding father, I don't think I need to get to the bottom of it. Just imagine that even Tang Guan, an unlucky person, can only be a bull and a dog for a while, let alone Not to mention other people.

Cheng Huaibi laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Old General, I am already a half useless person, I have stopped thinking about those things a long time ago, but you, you must be careful."

After all, Cheng Huaibi glanced left and right indiscriminately, and then said in a low voice: "The old man has left. Some people in the court said that you colluded with the Turkic people and paid them silver taels in exchange for peace. Once you left, they didn't Take things, this is...cough...this is it."

Before Cheng Huaibi finished speaking, he heard a "bang", Cheng Wu slapped the stone table with his palm, and saw that the stone table had cracks, and cursed: "Fucking shit!"

"Old general, don't get angry." Cheng Huaibi glanced at the crack under his hand, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect Cheng Wuting to be so old, but he still had courage. The relationship between the two is inexplicable. The woman knew it too.

But this is how Wu Zhao employs people, just like how she treated Tang Guan many times out of line. People say that scholars can be killed but not humiliated. Yixin, logically speaking, this kind of emperor is a tyrant.

But the strange thing is that officials including Tang Guan, only people are afraid of him, no one hates him, or this is an invisible personality charm, at this time she exudes this charm, so that until the beauty is late , when she was beautiful and white-haired, someone overthrew her rule.

While comforting Cheng Wuting, Cheng Huaibi said, "That kid is cruel and merciless, cough, even I think it's scary, but that's good, at least he can buy some time for you, old general."

Cheng Wuting was taken aback when he heard the words, then thought of something, and whispered: "What did he do?"

Cheng Huaibi shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, and then whispered: "He hired beggars to prostitute wives and daughters..."

Cheng Wuting listened to Cheng Huaibi's story with frowning at first, but the more he listened, the more startled he became, and then the shock turned to horror, and finally an angry expression appeared on his face.

"Old general, don't worry about getting angry, this kid is scary."

Before Cheng Wuting could make a sound, Cheng Huaibi immediately said, Cheng Wuting's anger gradually subsided, and finally turned into a long sigh of unwillingness.

Seeing this, Cheng Huaibi remained silent, and finally said after a long time: "Old General, this is not the past, he also has his own difficulties, heck, I will leave first, take care."

"and many more."

"What orders does the old general have?"

Cheng Wuting frowned, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, be careful yourself."

Cheng Huaibi smiled slightly when he heard the words, then cupped his fists and shouted to the room: "Auntie, Huaibi is leaving!"

After that, he turned and left.

For a while, Cheng Wuting was the only one left in the courtyard in a daze.

After a long time, a woman came out of the house. After glancing at her husband, she approached her husband a little strangely and said, "Leaving?"

Cheng Wuting glanced at the woman when he heard the words, got up and hugged her into his arms and said with a smile: "I don't know when this battle will end, next year, I will definitely promise you."

"You lied." The woman burst into tears when she heard the words she had heard for decades.

Cheng Wuting laughed loudly when he heard the sound: "Are you ashamed, you are an old couple, why do you still want to do this?"

This trick seems to have a miraculous effect, the woman who just felt sad immediately burst into laughter.

Cheng Wuting quietly set his sights on the long knife stuck under the tree. (To be continued..)
