No one is optimistic about Chai Rong, even if he is just a small ambassador of the Gongnuyuan, but the various yamen are still operating quickly according to Chai Rong's orders, allocating troops and horses to prepare food, fodder and ordnance, which can be regarded as conscientious. This is the last thing they do for the emperor.

, I wouldn’t feel guilty if the dynasty really changed.

However, Wang Erbian had a lot of favorable impressions of the emperor. Although he had not yet gone on the expedition, the reward had already been paid out, two full times. God, this was his monthly salary for half a year. This emperor was really generous and generous.

A few years ago, following the late emperor's western expedition, he could only get a full reward. I heard from Lao Song that the last time he was rewarded with more than two guan of money was during the Qingtai period, but many brothers did not get it. Everyone hated the reigning emperor in their hearts, and finally got angry.

I voted for the birdman who became the son of the Khitans.

After getting the two pieces of money, Wang Erbian was ready to go to Poluo Alley with Lao Song to find happiness. The girls there were well trained and the prices were cheaper than in Jinhewan.

However, Wang Erbian still misses the old madam Zhao’s mother. I heard from Lao Song that Zhao’s mother was a beauty in the past. Although she is a little older, she is really fair. It is said that her methods are very clever and she will never forget them. Unfortunately, she no longer serves her.

Guest.

Just as Lao Song and I entered Poluo Alley, we saw a carriage slowly approaching. It was pulling all kinds of old furniture, and there were several young men pushing carts behind it.

The large carriage blocked the small alley, and you had to turn sideways to get through. Wang Erbian couldn't help but cursed: "You really have no eyesight, you can't wait for us to pass before you come out!"

Immediately behind the carriage, a young woman put her hands on her hips and cursed: "If it weren't for you stinky men who come here all day to visit the brothels, why would we have to move?"

Wang Erbian pointed his hand at the young lady and was about to scold him again, but Lao Song pressed his arm down and sneered at the other party, cupping his hands and saying, "This brother of mine is ignorant. Madam has a lot of people, so don't be the same as him."

"

A handsome young man also came out from the other party. He pulled the woman behind him and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, please let the two colleagues go by first. I heard that there are a lot of good things coming from Mother Zhao's place. If you are late, you won't be able to grab them."

"

"Save it, save it!" Lao Song pulled Wang Erbian against the wall and passed the carriage sideways, with double flattery on his face.

Wang Erbian stretched out his hand to poke Lao Song and said softly: "Even if you are in the army, you don't have to look like this."

Old Song stretched out his hand and slapped him on the head, "You are so forgetful. Don't you remember that the handsome young lady gave birth just now?"

Wang Erbian's eyes were confused and he asked: "Who?"

Old Song Fu said: "You can forget such a big thing during the Tianyou years. At that time, we just grabbed a handful in Kaifeng City and followed the late emperor north to resist the Khitans..."

His voice became softer and softer, and in the end he was afraid that only Wang Erbian could hear him. Wang Erbian seemed to have thought of something and slapped his thigh, "I remembered that he gave me money, even if he did.

I can’t let him give me the money once, for the rest of my life.”

"I don't need your permission. Have you forgotten that you are working at Wang Jun's house?"

Wang Erbian stomped his feet bitterly, "It turns out it's that kid. I've been looking for him for a long time, and today I bumped into him."

As he spoke, he held down the hilt of the knife, and Lao Song slapped him in the face, "I don't know what the name of the knife is if I have it in my waist. Everyone in the palace knows now that the Jiedu Envoy of the Tianxiong Army last year

He was the one who stabbed him to death."

Wang Erbian swallowed and spat, "I didn't realize that he is actually a ruthless person!"

"But you know that he became a palace official at the age of two decades. Naturally, he has two brushes under his hands. If you want to seek revenge from him, you will have no hope in this life."

"It's hard to say. I heard that all the princes in the court are not optimistic about the new emperor. Maybe the world has changed, and this man has fallen from his position as everyone in the palace."

"Idiot, even if there is a change of dynasty, he will either die in battle or be promoted. There is no reason to go down. Anyone who has the ability will be reused by anyone." Old Song stretched out his finger and poked Wang Erbian's shoulder vigorously, "

Those who are incompetent will be prime ministers for the rest of their lives!"

"You said I am incapable and want to be a top soldier for the rest of my life?"

"Then what are your abilities? Are you proficient in bow and horse, or are you highly skilled in martial arts? You can't even write your own name. It would be great to be a corps leader."

As if he had been greatly shocked, Wang Erbian staggered back, pointed at his nose and said, "You said... I... I can only be a corps leader in this life?"

"Then the ancestral graves have to be filled with smoke!"

"I'm not willing to give in!" Wang Erbian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Hehe... Young people are so energetic. I was just like you when I first joined the army. After a few years, I won't think about anything else. Why are you so embarrassed? Why don't I give you a good way to get promoted and make a fortune?

.”

Wang Erbian was delighted and said: "Tell me what you think is a good trick, I'll treat you today!"

"You don't have the ability to perform meritorious service in front of the battle. You are dull and not good at managing connections. If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you have to resort to tricks. What do you think you are most afraid of when the two armies are facing each other?"

"Well, of course I am afraid that I will defect in front of the formation. You want me to surrender to the enemy in front of the formation! But I have already received the money from the emperor. This is too unkind."

Lao Song looked disgusted and said, "With so many people surrendering to the enemy in front of the formation, how can you see the merits of a small soldier like you? If I say it, you have to go the other way. If you see your Shangguan defecting in front of the formation, you will give him a knife."

, isn’t it a great achievement that the emperor knows your loyalty but still doesn’t promote you?”

Wang Erbian suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He stretched out his thumb and praised: "Old Song, you have indeed had a few more years of food than me. You are more thoughtful."

Lao Song patted Wang Erbian on the shoulder and said: "That's natural. I've crossed more bridges than you have walked. It's such a good idea that you should treat me once. Come in quickly. I can't wait any longer."

"

Old Song was just talking nonsense, how could such a coincidence happen to Wang Erbian, but Wang Erbian took it so seriously that today's play in Poluo Alley was not very enjoyable.

After leaving Poluo Alley, Wang Erbian bought some rice noodles, a bag of maltose, two hair ropes, and a pound of salt from the market, and then he and Lao Song parted ways and went home.

His home was in a village near Bianshui outside the city, where all the family members of the Hujie Army lived. The ordinary little courtyard at the end of the village was his home.

Before I entered the door, I heard a child crying in the yard. When I opened the door, I saw an ugly pregnant woman beating an old woman with a wicker stick. The old woman held a crying little girl in her arms.

Wang Erbian was furious, "You bitch, you dare to hit my mother, I'll kill you if I don't!" As he spoke, he drew out his sword with a clang and rushed towards the woman.

The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly squatted in the corner, but the old woman ducked in front of the pregnant woman and said, "She is pregnant. I asked the fortune teller and saw that it is a boy!"

Wang Erbian stopped his hand abruptly. The woman seemed to remember that she still had something to rely on. She came to Wang Erbian with her belly puffed out and said, "You should poke it here. Seeing that your old Wang family is still losing its descendants, I bought it."

So many things seem to come with a monthly salary."

As she spoke, she touched the money bag on Wang Erbian's shoulder and pulled the money bag over. Her movements were not as flexible as those of a pregnant woman. "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to the money for such a heavy weight!"

The woman happily dragged her money bag straight to the inner room. Soon there was the sound of jingling and counting money. Wang Erbian shouted to the inner room: "You can't take them all, you have to leave them for my mother."

some!"

The old woman advised: "That's all, let her go, as long as she can leave something for the Wang family to know what the money is worth."

After dinner, Wang Erbian did not sleep. He sat in the yard and looked up at the night sky. Suddenly he pulled out a blade and muttered: "I can't live such a miserable life all my life. Old Song, if you surrender to the enemy before the battle, don't do it."
