The weather was a bit gloomy. Several people in the Beijing Camp looked up at the sky and frowned slightly.
"Don't let it rain tomorrow and delay your departure."
"If we delay it for a few more days, some people will be happy and some will be worried."
As they were talking, there was a noise in the distance, accompanied by cheers and cheers.
Several people frowned and looked over, seeing a group of soldiers gathered together not knowing what they were looking at.
"...Good archery skills!"
"...What if one person can kill ten people in front of the battle..."
Listening to the applause and admiration from all around, Xu Bangchui felt proud.
"What if? Grandpa, I have done this before. I got the credit for it... That thief also wanted to steal the credit from grandpa, so he let grandpa shoot him with an arrow and was so scared that he fell to death..."
Xu Bangchui was talking lively when someone yelled outside.
"What are you doing?"
Everyone was startled and turned around to see Liu Kui glaring angrily.
General Liu relied on his success in catching deserters this time, and no one in the family could stand the commotion, so they agreed to his request and sent him to the northwest together.
Although he was just a general, he was subordinate to two divisions and three yamen, so he had a much higher status than these ordinary soldiers.
At that moment, everyone bowed and retreated.
"This is Jingying!" Liu Kui shouted, mainly glaring at Xu Bangchui, "You want to do tricks on the streets!"
Xu Bangchui snorted, put away his bow and arrows, and followed everyone with his head bowed to leave.
"Stop." Liu Kui called him again, "Leave the bow and arrows."
Xu Bangchui suddenly stared.
"What?" he shouted.
"Didn't the army distribute bows and arrows to you? Who asked you to use this?" Liu Kui shouted, "Privately distribute the weapons and violate military discipline. Bring them to me."
These three stone bows are now Xu Bangchui's life. He hugs them even when he sleeps. Although he is a little reckless, he is not a fool. He knows what Liu Kui means when he hears it, not to mention Liu Kui looks like he has been hungry for several days and met a fat sheep.
The wolf's eyes glow green.
"Bah." He spat, "I've never heard of anyone despising a good thing like not allowing the use of good weapons or not allowing the military to spend money."
"Good weapons? Good weapons will be wasted in your hands." Liu Kui shouted, "Bring it here, I will give it to you if you have it. How dare you disobey the orders of the superior officers? Who dares to use them with such disrespect? Let you
You can’t even be a servant!”
No one dares to use his eyes without respecting his elders.
If these two hats were smashed off, they would be a bit big for a soldier.
After arriving at the Beijing camp yesterday, Xu Maoxiu had already had a good talk with his brothers in private. This time they returned to the military camp just to wash away their shame and get rewards.
If you want to get rewards, you naturally have to go into battle, but in the army, it is the general who has the final say whether to go into battle or to defend the rear.
Once you get the reputation of being disrespectful and disobedient to orders, no one would dare to use it.
Xu Bangchui stood there and stared.
Liu Kui was a little proud and a little excited, and he couldn't wait to get the bow and arrow in his hands immediately.
He could tell without looking, or even smelling it, whether it was a long bow from Gyeongju or a three-stone bow. From the moment it was made, it exuded bloodthirsty ferocity, like a tiger out of its cage.
Naturally, he has such a good weapon at home, but he is not qualified to use it.
He is not qualified, so why can these useless deserters just take it one by one?
Come on, come on, put it into the hands of its true master.
"It's really embarrassing. I don't have the money to buy it, and I can't rob it from others."
Someone said from the side.
"If you can even steal other people's weapons, why wouldn't you dare to steal them? Who would dare to use someone like you?"
Liu Kui jumped and turned around as if he had been stabbed.
"Which bastard is so stupid..." he yelled, swallowing his words halfway and staring at the five or six people riding horses beside him.
He is a subordinate of the two divisions and three yamen, and the people in front of him are the commanders of the front division, although these people are all younger than him.
"General Liu is so majestic." Liu Lang continued, looking down at Liu Kui.
Liu Kui reluctantly saluted.
"I don't dare, little one," he said, turned and walked away.
"This bow is really good, and your archery skills are also good." Several other generals nearby looked at Xu Bangchui and said.
Hearing Xu Bangchui's grinning praise.
"The bow is good, I'm not here to show off." Liu Lang said coldly.
Xu Bangchui's face fell again.
"Ten people cheering here are not as good as one scream from the enemy in front of the battle." Zhou Lang continued, "Even a person like me who has never been in battle knows this. I really don't know how you have the nerve to say that you are a soldier."
After he said that, he urged the horse forward, and everyone else also smiled, glanced at Xu Bangchui and went together.
Xu Bangchui's face turned red, feeling embarrassed and coquettish.
"What's wrong?" He couldn't help but mutter, looking at the young man's back, "Come to think of it, you still have to call me brother."
"wooden club!"
Xu Maoxiu's shout came from a distance.
Xu Bangchui trembled in fright and hurriedly raised his foot to go over, but was blocked by Liu Kui.
"What are you doing?" Xu Bangchui asked with eyes wide open.
Liu Kui snorted and reluctantly looked away from the long bow in his hand.
"I will watch you!" he said bitterly.
Xu Bangchui banged him away and ran away.
Xu Bangchui was scolded severely by Xu Maoxiu and others. Fan Jianglin even took away his bow and said he would not return it to him until the northwest. This made Xu Bangchui regret it and sighed.
"We will set off tomorrow. No one is allowed to cause trouble along the way. Whether we are laughed at or provoked, we must remember what we are going to do." Xu Maoxiu said.
"That's right, my sister has pushed us on the road. As for how we can go, it's up to us." Fan Jianglin said, "If we are embarrassed at this time, it will not be an embarrassment to our own people, but also to our sister's face!"
He stared at Xu Bangchui as he spoke.
"Why are you looking at me?" Xu Bangchui snorted, "I won't be embarrassed."
He touched his nose while talking.
"Didn't my sister say that she would give us three gifts? These are only two gifts. Is there still one missing?" he said, changing the topic.
Everyone else laughed.
"Okay, everyone will look around and talk about him." Xu Maoxiu also laughed and said, "You should remember this clearly."
"Instead of having a meal with wine and food prepared by my sister, this is also a gift." Someone explained.
Xu Bangchui didn't really want a few gifts. When he saw that the conversation had been diverted, he was very happy and took over the conversation with laughter.
Xu Maoxiu shook his head and looked back in the direction of the capital.
"Let's go." Fan Jianglin patted him on the shoulder and said.
Xu Maoxiu nodded and looked away.
Compared to the bustle in Beijing, an inn in central Beijing was a little deserted in the afternoon.
A waiter who was taking a nap against the counter was awakened by the sound of soft footsteps. When he opened his eyes, he saw a young man in brocade clothes tiptoeing through the hall.
The two looked at each other and were both stunned.
"Young Master Wang..." the shop assistant opened his mouth.
As soon as I finished speaking, the young man over there threw a bunch of money at me.
"Shut up." He lowered his voice and said with a hint of threat.
Although the store clerk was too sleepy to stand still, he still caught the money steadily and watched the young man walk out the door.
"I'm just saying hello to you, and I'm not calling your companions to arrest you." The store clerk shrugged and smiled to himself, weighing the money in his hand with satisfaction, "This family is really interesting, how many
It’s better to stay for a while.”
Wang Qishilang ran out of the inn in one breath, looked left and right, decided on a direction and ran.
"Prince."
There was a voice coming from behind, and Wang Shiqilang hurriedly stopped and turned his head.
The little girl who came running quickly was panting.
"Young Master Wang, I was right in front of the inn, and you ran away without even seeing me..." she said.
Wang Qishilang chuckled.
"I'm not scared," he said, "Chun Ling, what do you want from me? Is it Miss Zhu who wants to see me?"
We've only met once, Miss Zhu has even forgotten who you are...
Chun Ling curled her lips inwardly, what a fool, but the more fool, the better...
A smile appeared on her face.
"No, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I came here specifically to see you. I thought you were gone," she said.
"No, I was noticed by my family, and they wanted to take me back." Wang Shiqilang said, angrily, "I have only been in the capital for a short time, how could I go back, and I haven't even had a drink with Madam Zhu yet.
Woolen cloth."
"It's August 15th in a few days, and there will be a lantern festival in the capital." Chun Ling said, "Everyone in our building will go to the streets to enjoy the lanterns and light up the lanterns. Why don't you come and play together?"
They all go to the streets, so naturally the courtesan Zhu Xiaoniang will do the same.
Wang Qishilang's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he became upset again.
"They definitely won't let me go," he said.
"Master, isn't your fiancée in the capital?" Chun Ling said, blinking, "Master, why don't you invite her to see this scenic spot in the capital? You know that all the emperor and ministers will see it."
Fiancée! Oh, by the way, he also has a fiancée!
Wang Qishilang clapped his hands with great joy.
He and the young lady from the Cheng family are already engaged. As an unmarried couple, they can be less constrained than in the world. They can also go out together during festivals. This is really the best excuse.
"Okay, okay, great, I'll go tell them right now." He said happily and walked away.
Chun Ling looked at the young master who was leaving in a panic. The smile on her face faded, leaving only a sneer on her lips. She turned around and walked away quickly.
It didn't rain on the gloomy day. The night passed and the sky cleared up.
Hearing the knock on the door, Brother Jin put down the bucket in his hand.
"Didn't Mr. Zhou leave? Why is there still someone knocking on the door?" He muttered, looking out through the crack in the door.
"Brother Jinjin." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile, "Is your wife here?"
The maid brought tea, and Banqin also brought a plate of snacks.
"The treatment now is really good." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile.
"It was not bad before." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Yes, yes, Madam has always been good. I am a suspicious neighbor from Zheng." Qin Shisanlang smiled and took a sip of tea, "I came today to tell Madam that I have been studying with the newly invited gentleman recently.
, I’m often away from home. If my wife wants to see me for anything, just ask someone to come to my door and tell them. I’ve already told them.”
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him without saying anything.
"Of course, Madam, you don't need my help." Qin Shisanlang smiled, "I just said so."
"I don't know in the future, but now I have a favor to ask you for," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Qin Shisanlang was startled.
"Really?" The smile spread in his eyes, he leaned forward and lowered his voice and said, "Madam, tell me, who are you going to kill this time?"
The maid on the side couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.
A gentle young man, facing a dignified and quiet young lady, with fine tea, crisp autumn air, such a beautiful woman and beautiful scenery, cannot think of good things.
Could it be that her wife is a bandit and a bandit who is so vicious that she wants to kill people as soon as she opens her mouth?
