"Hey, since I haven't seen you, kid, there's something I almost didn't remember."
As the carriage bumped along the road, Cao Zhen suddenly changed his subject, "Just now my old boss asked you to give us two brothers a knife to chop at each other. Are you so damn active?"
"Yeah, how the hell did I forget this?" Guo Ying also turned around and looked at Li Jinglong, "Do you really want to see us two brothers in trouble? Are you working hard?
Want to see a joke?"
"What are you kidding about?" Cao Zhen shouted.
"Are you our elder?" Guo Ying said, "Are you really just watching the excitement and not afraid of causing trouble?"
Cao Zhen spitted like stars, "I didn't even reach out to pick up the knife. Did you force it into my hand?"
"Yes, I saw it really. Your kid lowered his head and had a bad look on his face.
"It's as if we can't accept it!" Guo Ying also said.
"Junior...it's unjust. My old boss opened his mouth. How dare I disobey you!" Li Jinglong quickly begged for mercy, "You two...you two, how can this junior have such thoughts! Both of you are the same, both are.
He is the elder of the junior generation. Don’t you still know what the junior generation is like?”
"Bah!" Guo Ying spat, "I still don't know who you are? When you first became a guard, you were the most slippery among those people who worked under me!"
"Can you be a good person?" Cao Zhen also asked, "Those boys in our family have been bullied and deceived by you since they were children. When they were ten years old, you encouraged them to steal family money and go to a brothel."
The saliva of the two people kept spraying on Li Jinglong's face. Fortunately, it was windy in winter, and it dried up as soon as the wind blew. Otherwise, it would be like washing his face again. Fortunately, it was winter in the south. If it were in the north, the spittle would turn into ice.
, covering one layer.
"What do you think we should do about this?" Cao Zhen rolled up his sleeves with a ferocious expression.
"Well..." Li Jinglong thought about it, "Didn't you ask this junior last night if there are two shops on Qianmen Street?" As he said this, his heart ached and his liver trembled, "Look back, junior, let me give you the land deed."
Go to the house!"
Cao Zhen was obviously taken aback. He didn't expect Li Jinglong to be so generous. He said with some embarrassment, "Bah, who asked you for nothing? I'll pay the market price later!"
"The shops in that place are priceless!" Li Jinglong exclaimed in his heart. It was the most prosperous place where money was made every day, and people would buy them for any amount of money.
"What about me?" Guo Ying asked.
"Um..." Li Jinglong was at a loss for words, but he knew in his heart that he would definitely bleed heavily today.
It's only after being killed by these old scoundrels that you get blackmailed. It's weird if you don't bleed!
But who knows, Guo Ying didn't ask for anything, but his attitude became gentle, "I don't want to be so shameless like a fool and take advantage of a junior like you. There are piles of those extraneous things in my house, they are all fucking flowers."
Not finished!”
As he said that, he got closer to Li Jinglong and said, "I heard from people in the Fifth Army Commander's Office that Guo Zhen will be transferred back to Beijing soon!"
Guo Zhenshi, the eldest son of Guo Ying, was originally the commander of the Daning Guards. He was a famous young talent among the second generation of nobles. He was only twenty-six years old at this time.
It's strange to say that when Guo Ying was a young man, all his sons were daughters, but when he got old, all his sons were sons. So far, he has given birth to a total of twelve sons. Except for one who died in infancy, the rest are
one.
"I have listened to this matter!" Li Jinglong thought about it and said, "In fact, the Young Master's family said a few years ago that Guo Zhen is the beloved son of the old Marquis, and he will be transferred back to fulfill his filial piety under your knees. It's just that
There is really no suitable one in Daning..."
"He's coming back soon!" Guo Ying whispered, "Although he is coming back, there is no guarantee that he will leave again one day. At this age, I am always uneasy when my eldest son is not around. If you can speak in front of the young master's family, remember to boast
Turn a deaf ear."
Li Jinglong immediately understood that the old Marquis was asking for a favor from him.
After relinquishing power, these old nobles enjoyed peace at home and did not interfere with the government affairs. It was not that they did not have this face with the emperor, but it was very inappropriate to speak to the emperor rashly about such matters.
"Junior, do your best!" Li Jinglong said.
"What?" Guo Ying squinted.
"This junior will do his best!" Li Jinglong did not dare to promise, so he could only smile and said, "Old Marquis, you can rest assured that as long as this junior can say something, he will definitely help!"
"Okay, I'm ready!" Guo Ying patted Li Jinglong's shoulder without exerting any force.
For some reason, Li Jinglong suddenly felt a little envious of Guo Zhen.
He has a father who cares about him, but no one likes him, Li Jinglong, Duke Cao!
"This matter is really important!" Cao Zhen sighed beside him, "Fourth brother almost died last year. We fathers can't close our eyes if we can't see our son before we leave!"
, also patted Li Jinglong, "You took this matter seriously, I will owe you a favor later!"
"It depends on what you said, haha!" Li Jinglong laughed.
"Fourth brother!" Cao Zhen suddenly said to Guo Ying, "My eldest nephew is coming back. Let's have a good few days. Let's go to my house to listen to the opera. I have the best Shaoxing Huang!"
"I can't run away from you!" Guo Ying said with a cheerful smile, "I can have a reunion year this year!"
"You said life flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, we are already this old!" Cao Zhen sighed with emotion.
"Yeah, I don't know how many years I can live!" Guo Ying sighed, "Maybe one day, I will close my eyes, kick my legs, droop my little tongue, and the ball will die!"
"Don't say this, I was so frightened after hearing this. The brothers have almost left. If you leave again, what's the point of me!" Cao Zhen lowered his head and said.
"Hey, you two are so old that you don't want to fight anymore? Now we are brothers again!" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart.
At this moment, Widow Liu poked her head out of the carriage and asked timidly, "Master, what do you do? Why do you keep hearing people call you Marquis along the way? Isn't your surname Cao?
?”
She was an ordinary woman. Although she was more aggressive and bold, her vision was limited after all. Although she felt that everyone in this group of people looked wealthy and powerful, she couldn't explain why.
"Master Hou is my nickname!" Cao Zhen said perfunctorily.
"Then...this man's nickname is also Master Hou?" Widow Liu looked at Guo Ying, becoming more and more confused.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't pry, you will know when it's time to know!" Cao Zhen said.
"Haha!" Guo Ying grinned, "Woman, let me tell you, the man you are now is one of the richest people in the world, so just wait to go to the city and enjoy your happiness!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are rich or not!" Widow Liu lowered her head and smiled, "As long as we, the two of us, are safe, no one bullies us, and we can have a living and a living, it will be good!"
Cao Zhen immediately took Widow Liu's hand lovingly and started rubbing it.
This scene gave Li Jinglong a chill.
"This is a stick!" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, "I have never been in love in my whole life of killing people and setting fires. Women have slept with them a lot but they don't understand a woman's heart at all. Any girl can make you confused.
, what a great injustice!"
"When you get back to the capital tomorrow, I'll take you to the Yamen and change your son's name to mine!" Cao Zhen said with a smile, "After all, you followed me, so I have to treat your son well!"
"This is fucking copied!" Li Jinglong looked at Widow Liu and thought to himself.
In his eyes, the beauty of the other party is really not enough, she is just a village girl.
Then he muttered in his heart, "Jingchuan Marquis is not afraid of being embarrassed. Not only does he do other things, but he also wants to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan." After that, he took a closer look at Cao Zhen again and said in his heart,
"Is there something wrong with you?"
If Widow Liu's son changes his surname to Cao, he will have to be naturalized, but it will be a real change of fate. No matter what others say, at least officially he is a noble marquis after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. This identity can protect them for at least two or three generations.
.
Unexpectedly, Widow Liu hesitated.
He looked at Cao Zhen carefully and said pleadingly, "Master, we two must be wholeheartedly following you, but..."
After saying that, he paused and bit his lip, "If you don't have a son, he will naturally provide for you and be a filial son and grandson until you die, but you also said that you have many sons in the family."
"His father is the only one in the family. No matter how we talk about the marriage, if I let my son change his surname, I will feel sorry for him and my own conscience will not be able to live with it..."
"It's not that I don't know how to praise you, and I don't want to make you angry, Master..."
"What a good woman!" Cao Zhen sighed with emotion and said to Guo Ying, "Fourth brother, what a good woman. What did those plagued scholars say? What kind of wealth can't be sexual? Look, this is not forgetting the roots!"
Then he said to Widow Liu, "Girl, you can remember the dead in your heart, and you can never do anything wrong to the living!"
"Is this how wealth and wealth can't be used? It should mean that poverty and lowliness can't move, right?"
Li Jinglong sneered in his heart, then looked at the joy on Cao Zhen's face, and continued to curse in his heart, "You must have something wrong in your heart!"
Clatter, the sound of horse hooves came.
Deng Ping rode over and said, "My old boss has something to tell us. Let's hurry up and try to get to Chuzhou tomorrow!"

My computer is broken and I have to send it to the repair center today. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it in time, so I got up early and went to an Internet cafe to write something for everyone. Don't blame me!
