The person who could make Li Waner and her sister hate him so much must be Yu Wenshu. There is no need to guess the identity of the bearded veteran walking next to Yu Wenshu. Except for General Zuo Wuwei Mai Tiezhang, the entire Huaiyuan Town
Who else is qualified to travel alongside General Zuo Yiwei!
The two generals were immediately alarmed, and everyone felt bad. One of them had a family that had been a minister for generations, and had countless disciples in the government and the public. He was one of the most prominent families in the Sui Dynasty.
Ma later worked as a bodyguard for the former Emperor Chen, holding an umbrella for the emperor during the day, and at night he went to Xuzhou, a hundred miles away, to work part-time as a bandit. With their identities and abilities, Liu Hongji would be crushed no matter which one of them raised a little finger.
into pieces
Just when everyone was secretly worried, Liu Hongji calmly stepped forward, bowed his hands on horseback and gave a military salute, and said loudly: "The emperor of the Sui Dynasty serves you Xunshi, and the food guard in Huaiyuan Town Liu Hongji."
Hongji, please see General Mai and General Yuwen! I am in military uniform and cannot perform the ceremony properly. Please forgive me, seniors!"
The few words he said were neither humble nor arrogant. Even Li Shimin, a clever little guy, secretly screamed admiration in his heart. Whether it was the wheat straw boy (Mai Jie) just now or the wheat iron stick who came now, both of them wanted to express their feelings both inside and outside their words.
Tang Gong Li Yuan dragged him into the water, and Liu Hongji said that the Sui Emperor's right-hand servant, Huaiyuan Town's food guard and farewell general, took over all the things that the food guard soldiers did today on his own head. The two third-rank generals in the dynasty
I can't get involved with Tang Gong Li Yuan. It's obviously too disrespectful to start a fight with him, a sixth-grade food guard.
After listening to Liu Hongji's self-introduction, the old general Mai Tiezhang softened his tone slightly, habitually stroked his beard, and asked in a deep voice with some anger: "You have the right servant's reputation.
I wonder what the connection is with the late Governor Liu Sheng?"
He was a rough man who climbed from a small soldier to a general. He was used to speaking vulgarly and without writing. Now, even if he wanted to be more elegant, he couldn't speak the same language. Liu Hongji didn't care about his rudeness in language and hung up his long hair.
, he bowed again and said sternly: "The younger generation is not talented. He is thirty years old but has not made any significant achievements. It is really a disgrace to my father's reputation."
"It turns out he is the son of an old friend, no wonder he is so courageous!" Mai Tiezhang smiled, and his tone of voice became more gentle. Today he was serving wine to invite his colleagues, hoping to find a singer to kill the boring time while waiting for the army to gather. During the dinner, someone said that Huaiyuan
There was a woman surnamed He in the town who was known as the three masters of piano, dancing and singing, so she specially sent someone to her door to invite her. However, the food and wine had already gone cold, but the singer hadn't been invited yet. He felt that he had lost face and called his family to inquire carefully, only to find out.
The government soldiers and the food guard soldiers fought over a singer. His general Mai Jie was so angry that he ordered five hundred government soldiers to take to the streets to seek revenge.
Several generals did not want to make the matter a big deal, so they came to restrain their subordinates. Unexpectedly, not only did the soldiers, who were known as the best in the world, not seek justice, but they were also divided between infantry and cavalry. This was really a huge shame.
, so Mai Tiezhang had to stand up for his subordinates. Unexpectedly, the person who took the lead in cleaning up the government soldiers was actually the son of the late governor Liu Sheng.
Seeing that the storm was about to disappear, General Zuo Yiwei Yu Wenshu smiled and introduced to the other generals: "This man is the son of the late governor Liu Sheng, the most beloved general under Tang Gong Li Yuan, both civil and military.
Much like his father!"
Wu Benlang general Qian Shixiong and Ying Yanglang general Meng Jincha who came with Mai Tiezhang heard Yu Wenshu say this and nodded. Everyone praised Liu Hongji for his bravery, but did not take into account the face of the cavalry general Mai Jie.
At this moment, the yellow face of the cavalry general Mai Jie turned red. He was so embarrassed and angry that he didn't care about his status. He rolled off his saddle and dismounted, lying on the ground and begging: "My troops are incompetent and my brothers are being wantonly insulted. Please tell me."
General punishes!"
"You useless thing, stand in the back!" Mai Tiezhang raised his eyebrows again, scolded Mai Jie angrily, then turned to Liu Hongji and asked, "My nephew said he is responsible for maintaining local security.
Mai Jie led his troops to the streets, and it’s no wonder he was surrounded by your troops. But those brothers don’t know what mistake they made, and they actually had their pants stripped off by your soldiers!”
Thinking of the incense, the old general no longer wanted to make the matter too big, but the 500 elite soldiers were surrounded by 300 food guards, and more than a dozen of them were humiliated in public. He had to win back some face no matter what.
Otherwise, not only will he be unable to hold his head high in front of his colleagues in the future, but the officers and soldiers under his command will also feel chilled by the weakness of their commander.
"Senior, your grace!" Liu Hongji smiled and replied in a low voice, "The two infantry brigade in front are here to protect Qin Canjun's mansion. Just now, I heard that someone came to the mansion to rob someone, so I had to send someone to take care of it."
The one hundred cavalrymen were specially brought by the juniors to mediate because they were afraid of making things worse. Unexpectedly, impartiality was rushing behind Mai Chaqi. These novices led by Shi Bo, who are elite and world-famous in the world, how could they dare to think of a siege?
"
After that, he glanced at Yuwenshu with the corner of his eye, and met Yuwenshu's smiling eyes in the air. Liu Hongji also lowered his head. No one was talking, quietly waiting for Mai Tiezhang's decision.
A few words gave the iron staff enough, and the old general naturally could not continue to look at the dozen unlucky guys who were holding up their pants, with bruises and swollen faces. He sighed and said: "Forget it, you are the one who took the lead in beating people because of your sweet talk.
Just hand it over to that singer, and the two of us will find out what happened today!"
According to common sense, this was the biggest concession the old general had ever made. The one who was beating was Liu Hongji's subordinate. Naturally, Mai Tiezhang would not make it too difficult for him to bring a scapegoat back to the camp for a formality, give him a few whips, and lock him up for three to five days.
, will naturally put people back, and a singer, let alone Liu Hongji, who has to worry about such a despicable toy for him, who will bet his future for them?
The cavalry general Mai Jie was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He secretly blamed his master for finding a scapegoat and easily let the mastermind go. Just when he was helpless, Liu Hongji did not expect that Liu Hongji would not appreciate it and walked on horseback.
He saluted again and replied sternly: "It was the soldiers of the old general who broke into the officer's residence and harassed the women's family members, so the two sides had a conflict. As for the singer the old general called, I don't know who she is, so I can't accept my order!"
"That's the little girl named He!" A soldier with a bruised nose and swollen face pointed bitterly at the Qin Mansion gate. Downstairs, Miss He family was holding a short blade and standing with her head held high next to her fiancé.
"My dear nephew, do you really want to embarrass me?" Mai Tiezhang was really a little angry. He asked with a straight face that he had never been so polite to a young enemy, but he didn't expect that the other party would not show any sympathy to him at all.
noodle
"That is the wife of Qin Ziying, my subordinate who joined the army as a clerk. She is not a singer!" Liu Hongji looked into Mai Tiezhang's eyes and replied solemnly.
"Really?" Mai Tiezhang was doubtful. If the facts are true as Liu Hongji said, today's conflict is indeed a big misunderstanding. Since the singer has become a good person, her subordinates should not go to other people's houses to harass her husband.
I joined the army as a clerk. Although my position was lower, it was spread among my colleagues in the army. It was really damaging to my reputation that I was a great general and snatched the wife of an officer below me to accompany him for drinks.
"I've heard about Tang Gong's romance for a long time, but I didn't expect that even his subordinates would be so free and easy in their fame and fortune. They would actually marry a woman as their wife but I don't know which family they belong to. They would fight for a woman and give up their future?" Yu Wenshu thought for a moment.
beard, smile and admire
A word to wake up the dreamer. Although the Sui Dynasty no longer valued family status as much as the previous dynasties, the nephews of good families did not dare to marry a wife. Moreover, this person had an official position and had a wife as a maid.
Perhaps, by marrying a wife, you are simply joking with your future. Thinking of this, Mai Tiezhang, who felt he had been deceived, became furious, pointed at Liu Hongji, and shouted: "You bastard, I have asked you again and again, but you have been perfunctory again and again.
You are the husband of that ****, you have the guts to let him come out and show me!"
Having said that, his hair and beard were spread out like a yaksha in the temple, which made people shudder.
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes glanced at Qin Ziying and his wife. Miss He, who was holding a sharp knife, suddenly turned white, and her frail body shivered like a lotus in the wind. Although Qin Ziying was soft-tempered, he was also a man of spirit and patted her gently.
He patted his wife on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the crowd.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Ziying walked up to Liu Hongji, cupped his hands forward, and said loudly: "Qin Ziying, who has served as the recorder of Huaiyuan Town in the Sui Dynasty and joined the army, paid a visit to General Mai. He didn't know what offended the couple. He actually provoked the old general to come to visit him.
disgrace?"
He, who was usually submissive, was standing in front of the third-rank Zuo Wuwei general's horse, but he didn't see the weak wheat iron staff at all. He felt a little uncomfortable due to his momentum. He unknowingly retracted his finger and asked angrily: "Is she really you?"
Wife?"
"We have made a promise, and we can get married as soon as our parents reply to the letter!" Qin Ziying replied sternly. He knew that the other party could crush him into pieces just by raising his hand, but he didn't want to make any concessions.
"Are you a member of a good family?" Mai Tiezhang sneered and continued to ask. Today's face has been greatly reduced. First, he met a young man named Langtouqing. He ignored the good steps and refused to step on them. He lied and deceived people so that he could not stop, and now he ran away again.
He was a poor man and said through gritted teeth that he wanted to marry a woman. He didn't believe that these words were true. No matter from any angle, Qin Ziying's words were like the sophistry of the bastards from the food protection team.
"Being born in the Longyou Qin family, I have been innocent for generations!" Qin Ziying replied calmly. Ever since he was planning to marry He Meier, countless well-wishers have made an issue of their identities. The Longyou Qin family is also considered a local wealthy family.
If he marries a prostitute and returns home, the family will be humiliated, but he doesn't want to worry about that. The Qin family is the Qin family, and he is the worst he can be. The two of them can live happily on their own.
When Mai Tiezhang was young, he was a gangster in the forest. What he hated most was when others showed off his innocent family background in front of him. What happened? Who was born to be a robber? Looking at the poor boy in front of him, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Looking up to the sky and smiling
"Ha-ha-ha, you have the guts, the Qin family in Longyou is capable, and they actually married their son to a wife! Let's go, I, Lao Mai, admit defeat today!"
This sentence made all the food guards blush again. He Meier's background was true, but she was burdened by her family background. Mai Tiezhang and Yu Wenshu relied on their official power to humiliate people. They knew that the beauty was already a wife, but they spoke.
A **** kept silent and humiliated everyone over and over again. Even if he was a fool, he still had a country temper. At that time, some people started scolding him.
"Grandma, isn't he just a robber? What's the big deal?"
"What's wrong with the singer? Some people don't even know who they were born to!"
"Which kid is scolding me? Get out of here!" Mai Tiezhang turned around suddenly and roared loudly. Since he joined Yang Su, no one has dared to insult him like this. His origin in the green forest was a pain in his life, so no matter what today, he also
To tear the guy who curses into pieces
Seeing that the old general was about to charge into the crowd, Liu Hongji shook the reins and placed it in front of Mai's iron staff. "Old General Mai, do you want to kill my soldiers in the street?"
"Get out of here, little bastard!" Mai Tiezhang raised his hand and whipped a riding crop, whipping it hard at the ungrateful guy in front of him.
I don't know whether it was because he couldn't dodge or he didn't want to dodge. Liu Hongji was hit hard on the face by the whip with an iron wire. There was a "snap" sound, and the helmet symbolizing his identity flew into the air, and a green streak appeared.
The black whip marks extended from one ear to the chin, and blood trickled down from the wound.
Liu Hongji did not dodge, he stopped in front of Mai Tiezhang's horse and sneered loudly and waved his hand to hit people. The anger in Mai Tiezhang's heart also dissipated a little. He looked at Liu Hongji and asked coldly: "How dare you, little general?"
Stop me, is this how Tang Ping always teaches his subordinates?"
"I wonder if General Mai is speaking to the junior general as General Zuowuwei, or as an ordinary person to the juniors?" Liu Hongji was also angered by the whip and asked with a sneer.
More than two hundred food guards raised their weapons again. Everyone has had enough of today's insults. If the old guy surnamed Mai dares to hit anyone again, everyone will step forward together to fight.
The five hundred soldiers also quickly formed a team. As long as they started fighting, it would be a fire and both sides were evenly matched. Whoever was not prepared in time would suffer.
General Zuo Yiwei Yu Wenshu, Tiger General Qian Shixiong, Eagle General Meng Jincha and others did not expect that the situation would suddenly change. They wanted to come forward to persuade them, but they didn't know how to speak and watched the two sides get angry.
Moreover, the emperor found out that no one could escape the connection. When he was anxious, he heard the sound of horse hooves again, and a group of people ran over in disheveled clothes.
"General Mai, have mercy on me, General Mai, have mercy on me!" Tang Gong Li Yuan shouted while riding his horse. In a blink of an eye, he came closer, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and jumped between Mai Tiezhang and Liu Hongji in three steps.
He was dressed in official uniform and sweating profusely. He was obviously dealing with official business. He suddenly heard the news and rushed to the middle of the parties. He first saluted the iron staff and then shouted to Liu Hongji: "Old General, in front."
, how can you, a junior, be so rude and not quickly apologize to your senior!"
"I don't dare, I have no virtue, I don't dare to be this person's senior! Mr. Tang led a good army, and defeated my Zuowuwei with three hundred to five hundred, and defeated my Zuo Wuwei. I admire you!" Before Liu Hongji could say anything, Mai Tie
Zang Senrandao
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll punish them severely when I go back!" Li Yuan swallowed his anger and apologized to Mai Tiezhang. He was just discussing matters with several close aides in the government office, when he suddenly heard that there was a conflict between the food guards and the government soldiers. He thought it was...
It was an ordinary dispute, so he didn't pay attention to it. Such disputes usually happened anyway. Every time, the food protection soldiers tolerated it. Unexpectedly, the situation got out of control in the blink of an eye, and the conflict turned into a large-scale gang fight. When he heard that Mai
Tiezhang and the others were alerted, but it was too late to mount their horses and chase after them.
"No need, your subordinates humiliated my subordinates in the street, you hand over the perpetrators!" Mai Tiezhang hit his palm with the riding crop and replied angrily.
Li Yuan has a weak temper and is known as a meek person among his colleagues. There is no point in bullying him, so Mai Tiezhang doesn't plan to continue the quarrel. He just beats two blind guys half to death to make the new recruits bastards.
It's just a lesson. As for the singer, she has scolded her enough anyway. She wants to marry whoever she likes. It has nothing to do with Lao Mai.
Now that the Li family is on the verge of breaking out, how dare Tang Gong dare to make another strong enemy? He sighed softly and turned his attention to the food guards, trying to find two dead soldiers who were killed by Li Fuan and hand them over to them.
Mai Tiezhang endured the humiliation, but Liu Hongji once again raised the reins of the horse and stopped him loudly: "Tang Gong, wait a minute, this matter started because of Hongji. Naturally, Hongji will personally come to kill General Mai. I will give you a horse whip.
But you haven’t answered the junior’s question yet?”
"Don't be rude, Hong Ji!" Li Yuan yelled angrily, no matter who was right or wrong, he, the coach, couldn't offend the other side, and there was nothing he could do about it. The bigger the dispute between the two sides became today, the greater the losses suffered by the brothers. There was no way to regain the truth.
possible
"Senior, this junior is asking you as a right-hand servant in front of the emperor's tent in the Sui Dynasty, not as a food guard under Duke Tang!" Liu Hongji shook his head and continued to ask.
