subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 123 The Straightforward Zhang Cunjing

The two returned to the barracks. As soon as they reached the gate of the barracks, they were spotted by a group of patrolling sentries. The captain of the patrolling sentry shouted: "Who is it, stop quickly, or we will shoot arrows."

At this time, Huang Ying and Zhu Wen were already sharing two horses. The two smiled at each other after listening to the captain of the sentinel. Zhu Wen said, "Don't make a fuss, I am Zhu Wen."

The captain of the sentinel didn't realize that Zhu Wen was their coach, and said loudly, "I don't care if you have swine fever or chicken fever, let me stop first!"

After hearing what the captain of the sentinel said, Huang Ying felt it was really funny, so she burst out laughing with a "puchi", and was about to say a few words to satirize Zhu Wen.But before she opened her mouth, the captain of the sentinel yelled again: "And you, why are you laughing? What's so funny, this is a military camp, what are you doing here, a pretty girl? Leave quickly, thanks to this It’s the barracks of our rebel army, if it’s the army of the imperial court, they would have arrested you as a camp prostitute long ago!”

Now it was Zhu Wen's turn to find it funny. Huang Ying, who was smiling, blushed immediately after hearing what the team leader said.She had just tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time tonight, and she had just had a conception of the relationship between men and women in her heart. When she heard the vulgarity of the little captain, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Which brat are you, a bastard under the command of a boy, that you can say such vulgar words? Quickly call out that kid Zhu Zhen, and tell him that his master is here, if he comes late, he will look good to you!"

The team leader was a bit rude and straightforward, he wasn't mean-spirited, and he wasn't stupid. He still knew Zhu Zhen.Zhu Zhen was young and accomplished, and has always been the idol of the squad leader.At this time, Huang Ying heard that Zhu Zhen's master had come, so he hurried forward to check, but he looked at Zhu Wen and then at Huang Ying, and felt that neither of them looked like a worldly expert.

But he heard that Huang Ying's tone didn't sound like a fake, so he didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, and ordered a small soldier to report to Zhu Zhen, then turned to Huang Ying and Zhu Wen and said, "Please forgive my stupid eyes, I don't know the two masters, but Before General Zhu arrives, please don't act rashly, it will be hard to say if there is any offence."

Zhu Wen saw that although the small captain was vulgar and stubborn, he was quite cautious, loyal to his duty, and did not talk about personal relationships at all, so he liked it a little, and asked, "I don't know the name of this little general, Gao!"

The man grinned and said with a chuckle: "I'm just a patrol chief, what kind of general is it? My ancestral home is in Qiao County, and my surname is Zhang Cunjing. Where can I have a high surname?"

Zhu Wen only has a little understanding of the history of the Five Dynasties, and only knows some famous people in the late Tang and Five Dynasties. How can he remember so many ordinary people!But I don’t know that Zhang Cunjing was as famous a general as Ding Hui in the late Tang Dynasty, and he also made countless contributions to Zhu Wen in the feudal hegemony, but he died before Zhu Wen ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, so he didn’t have much fame .

Zhu Wen heard that Zhang Cunjing had never heard of the name, but in view of his character, it seemed a little wronged to be a chief, so he decided to promote him. At least it is okay to be a captain of 50 people, Zhu Wen thought to himself.

Huang Ying was not as easy-talking as Zhu Wen, she waited angrily for the young sentinel chief Zhang Cunjing, and said in her heart, "When that kid Zhu Zhen comes, you will see me, even my aunt dares to stop her!"

Zhang Cunjing also saw Huang Ying's expression in his eyes, but he pretended not to see it. Seeing Zhu Wen speaking in a friendly manner, he chatted with Zhu Wen about the daily routine, and started talking about things.

Not a moment later, I saw Zhu Zhen rushing over. Zhu Wenwen and Huang Ying didn't come back. Of course he didn't dare to go to sleep. When he was waiting impatiently, the soldier reported that the patrolling sentinel had found a man and a woman riding on horseback. He was about to break into the barracks on horseback, but was stopped by Zhang Cunjing, the head of the patrol. The man couldn't remember what it was called "swine fever" or "chicken fever", and the woman even claimed to be Zhu Zhen's master.

When Zhu Zhen heard it, she didn't understand that it was Zhu Wen and the others who came back, and she secretly scolded Zhang Cunjing for not being good at it, that he didn't even know the coach, and that he had lost all face as a boss.Zhu Zhen also knew about this Zhang Cunjing, knew that he was not weak in martial arts, but he was not flexible enough, and he had a typical stubborn and stubborn temper.Because of his contributions in several wars, Zhu Zhen had just been promoted to a very senior position, who would have thought that such a thing would happen?

From afar, Zhu Zhen greeted Zhu Wen with a playful smile, and said, "Third Brother, I'm late, I'm really sorry for letting Third Brother and Master be treated like a coward by this stubborn donkey boy." He rushed to the front, hurriedly got off the horse, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Zhu Wen smiled and said nothing, but Huang Ying snorted coldly and said with a stern face: "You kid is quite good at showing off? You actually let the two of us drink the northwest wind here in the middle of the night?"

Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "Master, please calm down, how did I know that this Yumu head was on duty today and offended the third brother and Master, Zhu Zhen is here to match you two. Besides, it's scratching now But the southeast wind, where there is the northwest wind to drink, the southeast wind is what you want to drink!"

Originally, Huang Ying said "drinking the northwest wind" was just a common saying, which meant that she had been waiting for a long time, but after Zhu Zhen deliberately made a gag and distorted her meaning, it made people want to refute but didn't know what to do. How can I just stare blankly.

Huang Ying was so angry that she didn't speak, Zhu Zhen said: "Third brother, Master, you two have been busy in the mountains all night, and you are tired even if you think about it, so hurry back to the camp and have a good rest."

Zhu Zhen was just talking casually, but Huang Ying had a ghost in her heart. After hearing Zhu Zhen say that the two of them had been "busy all night" in the mountain, she thought that Zhu Zhen knew what the two of them were doing on the mountain, so she couldn't help but face It's too red, but it's not easy to argue with others, I just want to go back to my residence quickly.

But Huang Ying and Zhu Zhen were about to go back to the camp, but they heard Zhang Cunjing say: "Wait a minute!" He turned his head and bowed to Zhu Zhen, and said, "General Zhu, the military regulations prohibit outsiders from entering and leaving the barracks at night. You are not allowed to enter or leave without authorization, you must have the commander's autographed document. But it is late at night, although these two are your master and elder brother, they don't have the commander's autographed document, please forgive me for not allowing them to enter the camp."

Zhu Wenwen and Huang Ying looked at each other and smiled, which made Zhu Zhen feel a little embarrassed. One of her subordinates actually refuted her own face, let alone the identities of Zhu Wenwen and Huang Ying. It has already prevented Zhu Zhen from coming to power.

Zhu Zhen laughed back angrily, and said, "Zhang Cunjing, Zhang Cunjing, you really have an elm head!" He pointed at Zhu Wen, and said with a smile, "Do you know who he is?"

"Didn't you say that he is your third brother! You still have to ask, do you think my ears are bad?" Zhang Cunjing said with an innocent face.

Zhu Zhen pointed at Huang Ying angrily again and said, "Then do you know who she is?"

Zhang Cunjing said angrily: "I said General Zhu, you have introduced both of these, isn't she your master? How many times have you called master, you think we don't even have ears!"

The dozen or so soldiers behind Zhang Cunjing wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud, and their faces turned red.

Zhu Zhen said angrily: "You keep asking for the commander's handwritten document, do you know that my third brother is our coach? Also, do you know who my master is? She is the jewel in Huang Wang's palm and our future coach's wife You dare to block them outside, which one gave you the guts?"

This time Zhang Cunjing was also a little dumbfounded, and he was speechless for a while, and said for a long time: "It is indeed my fault this time, please punish General Zhu?" Wen's face.Although he knelt there, he was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that he was not wrong at all, it was just because he didn't know the coach, but although he was straightforward and reckless, he was not a fool.At least he knew to admit his mistake first, and then kneel down, instead of sticking his neck and never bowing his head like he did with others.

Zhu Zhen was about to explode, but suddenly remembered that the two people present had more power to speak than herself, and said involuntarily: "Third Brother, Master, how do you think this kid should be punished?"

Huang Ying said with a smile: "In my opinion, you, the boss, should be punished first. You didn't teach your subordinates well, so that your subordinates didn't even recognize the face of the coach. This alone is enough for you to accept punishment once."

Zhang Cunjing said: "It's not General Zhu's fault. It's my fault. It has nothing to do with General Zhu. If you want to punish, just punish me alone. It has nothing to do with my ten brothers."

When Zhang Cunjing's ten people heard what the leader said, they all cast admiring glances, but they didn't have the guts to make them stand out.Just kidding, one is their coach, and the other is Huang Wang's favorite jewel. In the middle of the night, the two of them came back from the outside alone. If they find out this secret, they are in danger of being silenced, they thought.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen helped Zhang Cunjing who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and said slowly: "None of you are at fault. The fault is mine. I shouldn't visit Yinling Mountain at night. Time has lost its way, and this is the current situation. If you want to be punished, I should be the first person to be punished."

These words moved Zhang Cunjing to tears, didn't they?He is so expensive to be the commander in chief. Isn't it touching that he offended him like that without a single word of reproach?

Zhang Cunjing, who had just stood up, knelt down once, but this time he knelt down sincerely, and he said respectfully: "Thank you, General Zhu, for being considerate of us. I am also willing to shed my blood."

Zhu Wen quickly helped him up and said, "Although I say you are not wrong, I still want to punish you. Don't be too happy."

Zhang Cunjing said: "This subordinate is willing to be punished!"

Everyone looked at Zhu Wen in puzzlement again, wanting to see how he would punish Zhang Cunjing.

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "You don't have to be the boss any more, I'll fine you to be the captain of the 50-person team starting tomorrow."

When Zhang Cunjing first heard Zhu Wen say that he would not have to be a senior officer anymore, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but when he heard what Zhu Wen said later, he couldn't react for a while, and was speechless in a daze.

Zhu Zhen said: "You elm head, why don't you thank my third brother for his promotion?"

Only then did Zhang Cunjing understand, and hurriedly knelt down again...
