Chapter 21 The Deputy Commander of Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses (two in one)
In the original timeline, Lin Chong's appearance seemed heroic and straightforward, as if he was not scheming. In fact, he was very delicate in his mind and could endure humiliation and compromise. This can be seen from his martial arts style.
In Gao Cheng's memory, every time Lin Chong faces other fierce generals, whether it is the top master or an ordinary second-rate master, Lin Chong always fights with the opponent for dozens of rounds without a winner. Then when he is sure to win, he suddenly shouts and stabs his opponent down.
"Compared with Gangqi, the explosive power of true qi is somewhat insufficient. In addition, Lin Chong's forbearance personality, he looks extremely similar to Zhang Fei, but his fighting style is completely different! But even so, Lin Chong is one of the top fierce generals in this world!"
Gao Cheng sensed the aura on Lin Chong and could roughly determine his approximate strength. His current realm was higher than Lu Da that Gao Cheng saw in Weizhou City. He had already stepped into the fourth level gate.
"Brother, the Grand Marshal really appreciates you. He actually rewards a treasure sword! It's a pity that it is not the most precious dragon-scale treasure sword of the Grand Marshal. If the Grand Marshal has an extra magic weapon in his hand, no one among the 800,000 imperial guards will be his opponent!"
The other person bent over Lin Chong slightly, half a position behind Lin Chong, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hahaha, this is all appreciated by the Grand Master!" Lin Chong held a long sword in his hand and laughed, with a sincere gratitude to Gao Qiu in his tone.
Lin Chong and another man did not see Gao Cheng. They were joking and said they were going to the restaurant for a drink.
After Gao Cheng's strength returned to the third level, his five senses also regained their sensitivity. He heard the voices of the two people in the distance. The man who talked to Lin Chong was Gao Qiu's confidant Yu Hou and Lin Chong's good friend Lu Qian.
"Gao Qiu gave Lin Chong a treasure sword? The relationship between Lu Qian and Lin Chong has not broken down... So, Gao Qiu has not turned against Lin Chong yet! Haha, after Lu Qian used a plan to betray Lin Chong, Gao Qiu will use a plan to trick Lin Chong into the White Tiger Festival Hall! It leads to his assassination of Cangzhou Road... These two people have become enemies for a long time."
Gao Cheng made a judgment in his heart. However, he did not come forward to pull Lin Chong's mind to solve his problems. For him, only when the other party is in trouble can he have the opportunity to conquer Lin Chong in danger.
In the original timeline, even though Lin Chong was assassinated and possessed by Cangzhou, he never thought of rebelling and going up the mountain. He had hatred for Gao Qiu, but the hatred was not too strong. Only when Lu Qian burned the forage farm in order to kill the weeds and burned the grass farm, and the excitement of his family's destruction, Lin Chong was disheartened and went to Liangshan on a cold snowy night.
As long as he lends a helping hand before Lin Chong is stabbed with the Cangzhou Fire Forage Farm, I believe Lin Chong will never miss the opportunity to serve the court again.
When Lin Chong and Lu Qian disappeared, Gao Cheng then tidied up his clothes, walked to the gate of Gao Mansion, and sent a message to him: "In Xiahua Yin Chengjie Lang Zhao Yu, please see the Grand Marshal, please give me a message!"
As he said that, Gao Cheng hid ten taels of silver under the prayer post. The guard at the gate touched the silver, and a smile appeared on his originally indifferent face. He looked at Gao Cheng and said, "Sir, wait, the villain will report now!"
In the lobby of Gaofu, Gao Qiu held a cup of tea and touched his lips slightly. Thinking of Lin Chong who had just been sent away, a hint of coldness appeared on his face. Since Lin Chong had already made enemies with Gaofu and had excellent martial arts skills, he had to find a way to eliminate it as soon as possible.
If he let it go, maybe Lin Chong remembered when Gao Yi teased his wife. Once it broke out, he, the Grand Marshal of the Palace Mansion, would be the first to be affected.
"Lin Chong, Lin Chong, your ability is really good. Unfortunately, as today is in a prosperous era, even if you have the best martial arts skills, you will not be useful. The stronger your strength, the greater the threat to me! For the safety of this Grand Marshal, you should die!"
Gao Cheng had some mistakes in the guess just now. Gao Yanei had teased Lin Chong's wife, and both sides had become dirty. Gao Qiu gave Lin Chong a treasure knife to make Lin Chong relax his vigilance. After a while, he would use a trick to kill Lin Chong.
Just as Gao Qiu was murderous intent appeared in his heart, a confidant came in and handed over a letter of worship.
Gao Qiu frowned, put the teacup aside, then opened the voucher's eyes and glanced at him, and was stunned. "Huayin Zhao Yu, a little Chengjielang, actually gave such a big gift? I must have asked for it!"
On the post of the visit, Gao Cheng described his identity and attached a gift list, which contained a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, worth nearly 5,000 stagnant.
During the Xuanhe period of the Song Dynasty, money was enough for ordinary families to live for half a month, and five thousand guan was not a small amount. Even Liang Zhongshu from Daming Mansion gave his father-in-law Cai Jing's birthday gift, but he only gave him 100,000 guan.
Gao Qiu often received gifts from bribes from others, but he had never seen the amount of 5,000 jin at one time! After all, he was just the Grand Marshal of the Palace Commander's Mansion. He had the right to command troops but did not have the right to dispatch troops. He was still the idle imperial guard of the Song Dynasty. His power could not be compared with Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng.
"Invite someone!" Gao Qiu put down the greeting letter and ordered the subordinates to say. Since Zhao Yu gave such a heavy gift, of course he had to meet him and see what the other party asked for.
Soon, the servant took Gao Cheng to the hall.
After Gao Cheng came in, he immediately bowed and said, "Sir Zhao Yu, pay homage to the Grand Marshal!"
When the servants came to invite Gao Cheng in, Gao Qiu had already called his subordinates to find out some information about Gao Cheng. Some time ago, Gao Cheng asked Butler Zhao to come to Tokyo to take the Duke of Chu and was named Chengjielang. Although this matter is not very eye-catching, you can still find out as long as you inquire.
"No need to be polite!"
Gao Qiu glanced at him and a faint smile appeared on his face. He was just a slut, but he had been in the position of the Grand Marshal of the Palace for so many years, and had already cultivated his aura.
"Zhao Yu, you are also a clan of the royal family. You are not staying in Huayin. When you come to the news, you even gave me such a big gift to this Grand Marshal. Why did you come?" Gao Qiu asked without much effort and asked neatly.
For the sake of five thousand guan, he rarely had a good face.
Gao Cheng smiled and said, "The Taiwei is clear and has no achievements, but he has won the position of Chengjielang. He feels guilty, so he wants to continue to make contributions to the court and come to visit the Taiwei. I hope the Taiwei can give me some advice!"
Gao Cheng’s words were a bit obscure, but Gao Qiu could understand as soon as he heard that he was asking him to do something.
"If you want to make contributions to the court, it's great to have this idea. So, are you willing to be in Tokyo or to go to a place? If you want to be in Tokyo in the future, I will give you a position as the commander!"
"If you want to get to the place, I will equip you with the deputy commander of the Command Department! You can think about it yourself!"
Since "Zhao Yu" was a clan of the royal family and spent another 5,000 guan to play activities, Gao Qiu did not make a perfunctory attitude of not doing anything, and directly gave Gao Cheng two choices.
The Northern Song Dynasty military system, the Privy Council was in charge of military registration, tiger talismans, and the three yamen were in charge of the troops. Among them, the Palace Commander's Mansion under Gao Qiu, also known as the Palace Front Office, was in charge of the Song Dynasty imperial guards. Among the imperial guards, fifty people were teams, two teams were capitals, five capitals were battalions, and ten army was wings. The commander was set up at the battalion level, Yu Hou.
What Gao Qiu mentioned is actually an officer in charge of a battalion of 500 people. He is the pinnacle of the low-level official positions in the army. The military commander in charge of the first army is considered a medium-level officer, and the dispatch of this level is the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.
His hand cannot stretch that long now. He cannot provoke the Privy Council in the imperial city of the capital. The deputy command room of the local command department is also an intermediate officer. However, it is not so eye-catching in the local area and will not cause the Privy Council to rebound.
Gao Cheng said: "I heard that there are strong thieves in Jeju on Jingdong Road and Qingzhou on Jingdong Road. If possible, the officials are willing to go to these two places to wipe out the bandits and share the worries of the court!"
"Jeju, Qingju?"
When Gao Qiu heard these two places, he couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng. There were 800 miles of Liangshanbo in Jeju. Although there were no strong thieves, there were endless bandits and river bandits. In Qingzhou, there were Taohua Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain, three strong thieves who occupied the mountains and became bandits. They were not places of peace.
"Okay! Since you are willing to go to these two places, the Taiwei will fulfill your wishes. Qingzhou still lacks a deputy commander of the Military and Ma Si. After a few days of dispatch, you can go to Qingzhou to take office!"
In the prefecture, the Song Dynasty had a military commander in charge of the entire prefecture. Among them, the commander of the military commander was usually the prefecture or the prefecture. Of course, the prefecture also had to manage the civil affairs. The military commander was far from reaching the military commander. When the prefecture did not come forward, Gao Cheng, the deputy commander, was the chief officer of the Bingmaster.
"Thank you for your kindness! Thank you!" Gao Cheng hurriedly bowed his hand to thank you.
Gao Qiu hmmed for a moment, then raised the teacup. Gao Cheng saw this scene and said goodbye with tactfulness.
This time, the five thousand guan flowers are worth it! In Qingzhou, there are several future leaders of Liangshan with names, including Qin Ming, known as the Thunderbolt Fire, who served as the commander of the Military and Ma Si. Gao Cheng, the deputy commander, happened to be his immediate superior. In addition to Qin Ming, there are also Hua Rong, known as Xiao Li Guang, and Huang Xin, the Zhensanshan.
These are rare talents. After Gao Cheng took office, these people became his subordinates.
After leaving Gao Mansion, Gao Cheng immediately set off for Daxiangguo Temple. Now Lu Zhishen is still here. He wants to go over and make friends in advance and try it to see if he can win over the other party.
After a cup of tea, a faint sandalwood came from a distance. There were many pilgrims in front of the gate of Daxiangguo Temple, and many powerful families from Tokyo came to the temple to burn incense and fulfill their wishes.
Gao Cheng did not enter through the main entrance, but took a long journey to the vegetable garden in a corner of Daxiangguo Temple.
Before he could get to the place, he saw Chen Da competing with several gangsters with sharp-mouthed monkeys. A burly monk and Zhu Wu were sitting on the side of the tree stump merchant, drinking and joking while pointing at Chen Da and several gangsters.
The gangsters who were competing with Chen Da were also a little fist and seemed to have learned some Buddhist skills, and there was a sign that they were about to develop Gangqi.
"Sure enough, after becoming a monk in Mount Wutai, Lu Da got the opportunity to break through and became a fourth-level master! And it seems that his potential has not been exhausted yet, and he is expected to enter the fifth-level realm!"
The monk who drank with Zhu Wu was Lu Zhishen. Compared with the past, his power was even stronger. The energy contained in his body was extremely thick and the power of the openness.
"Brother Lu!"
Gao Cheng walked over quickly with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "It's really a place where we meet in life. I didn't expect that we could meet Brother Lu again in Tokyo!"
Before sending Chen Da and Zhu Wu to Daxiangguo Temple to find Lu Zhishen, Gao Cheng had a good conversation with the two, saying that he came to Tokyo to make friends with the heroes in Tokyo for a long experience.
The last time Gao Cheng took Chen Da to Weizhou to visit Lu Da was this reason, so Lu Zhishen did not doubt much when he met Chen Da at Daxiangguo Temple. He only had a feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
"You are not wrong when you come to Tokyo this time! Tokyo is really hidden and crouching. Not long ago, the Sa family met a hero, who is the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards, Lin Chong, known as the leopard head. His strength is not inferior to me. He is a hero. When he has the opportunity, the Sa family will recommend it to you!"
Lu Zhishen laughed and slapped Gao Cheng on the shoulder to show his closeness.
"Long time no see, brother, come! Have a drink together!"
At this time, Chen Da made continuous punches to repel several gangsters, then retreated, and greeted Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng waved his hand and his eyes fell on the gangsters.
The leaders of these people were Zhang San, nicknamed Crossing the Street Rat and Li Si. The two of them became Lu Zhishen as their teacher and learned some Buddhist fist and foot skills.
However, the two of them did not get the core true teachings and could not condense the energy. They could only compete with the gangsters and spoilers, and were not considered real masters. The two of them had poor strength, but they were very well-informed and had some loyalty.
Gao Cheng turned his eyes to Lu Zhishen and smiled and said, "Leopard Head Lin Chong? When I was in Huayin, I also heard of his reputation. He said that Teacher Lin has the courage to be a thousand men. If he could meet such a hero, it would be worth my visit to Tokyo this time!"
At this time, Zhu Wu frowned slightly and said, "Two brothers, I seem to have heard that Teacher Lin and Gao Qiu's son have a conflict recently. Gao Qiu is the Grand Marshal of the Palace Commander's Mansion. If it happens, Teacher Lin will be in trouble!"
Lu Zhishen snorted coldly and said, "It is best not to deal with Gao Qiu and Gao Yanei at the hands of the Sa family. If they encounter it, they must give them three hundred Zen sticks! Zhang San and Li Si, you can go out to find out the news later and see what the situation is in Teacher Lin. If he doesn't come, Sa family will go to him to drink and see who dares to come and cause trouble!"
Zhang San and Li Si quickly took the order and took a few gangsters to inquire about the news.
After drinking a jar of wine with Lu Zhishen, Gao Cheng, Zhu Wu and Chen Da said goodbye and left. Back at the inn to rest.
After returning, Gao Cheng told Zhu Wu and Chen Da about his dispatch. Zhu Wu showed joy on his face, while Chen Da looked shocked.
