Chapter 906: The Wild Leopard Returns
The two brothers sat down by the window, where they could see the street outside, and opposite was the jewelry store, there were about 20 shops, most of which sold mid-range jewelry, and only one high-end jewelry, and it was mainly jade.
It can be seen that the customers of each jewelry store are not small, although Chang'an does not advocate luxury, but it is a woman's nature to love beauty, and love jade is also a complex engraved in the bones of a Tang man, so as the New Year approaches, there is still a constant flow of customers in each jewelry store.
"You think there's really no more fine jewelry?" Zhang Lei said with a smile on the side.
"What do you mean by that?" Guo Song asked puzzled.
"I mean, there are so many big businessmen in Chang'an! Rich and rich people abound, but they are very low-key, so low-key that you can't see their net worth at all, but they are also buying top gems and jade, Lao An last time he made a false shot, saying that he would sell our inventory jewelry to Luoyang merchants, but the news spread, many big businessmen came to buy, and they were sold out in just a few days. ”
Guo Song nodded, "These jewelry stores should have high-end jewelry!" It's just that it's usually in the mid-range, and if they meet big customers, they will take it out, I think it should be like this. ”
Zhang Lei grinned and said, "That's right, that's true. ”
At this time, a steward said at the door: "Proprietor, the wine and food have been delivered!" ”
"Bring it in!"
Several bartenders came in with food boxes, and soon a table was full, everyone retreated, Zhang Lei took out a bottle of good celadon wine from a box, "This is still the first batch of wine sent by the Liang family in Lingzhou that year, at that time everyone didn't realize how good the quality of that batch of wine was, they were sold cheaply, and the later wine no longer had that taste, we began to miss, and then I went to the Liang family cellar to grab a barrel, and they themselves only had two barrels left, I still have more than 20 bottles left, and I will send you half of them when I go back." ”
Guo Song said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the first batch of wines of that year was indeed of good quality, and Meishou wine began to rely on it to make a brand." ”
Zhang Lei poured Guo Song's small wine jug full, poured a pot for himself, and the two poured wine each, Guo Song asked: "When I came in just now, I saw a very tall man washing the horses, who is he?" ”
"Tall man?"
Zhang Lei frowned, "Are you sure it's our people?" ”
"He's wearing your cabinet clothes, he's about thirty years old, he's dark-skinned, yes, there's a scar on his chin."
Zhang Lei thought about it, and suddenly realized, "You are talking about Zhou Fei, he is not from Chang'an Cabinet Workshop, but the guard of Qinghe Cabinet Workshop, this kid is amazing!" I didn't tell you! I met the bandits on my way back......."
Zhang Lei told Guo Song in detail about their distress in Fukou, and finally said with a smile: "I am now persuading him to stay in Chang'an, be my personal guard, give him fifty yuan a month, and rent him a two-acre yard, he said that he should think about it." ”
Guo Song also became interested, picked up his wine glass and asked, "You said that he is the leader of the soldiers that Tian Xu picked out from the Tiger Benwei?" ”
"He said it himself, he was originally the scout captain of the Wei Army's Tiger Benwei, and later Tian Xu selected three hundred people from the Tiger Benwei and made him the captain."
Of course, Guo Song knew that Hu Benwei was Tian Yue's most elite direct army, selected from the 200,000 army, about 18,000 people, and later Tian Xu picked out the 300 people with the strongest martial arts from the middle to form the Flying Eagle Battalion, if this Zhou Fei was the captain of the Flying Eagle Battalion, it would not be simple.
Guo Song has always attached great importance to the talents of the scout army, and can stand alone, scout soldiers like Zhang Yun are one in ten thousand, they combine wisdom, adaptability, martial arts and organizational ability, but unfortunately there are only a few such talents in the Guo Song army.
If it is really like Zhang Lei's description, then this Zhou Fei is probably the second Zhang Yun, Guo Song suddenly moved the idea of loving talent, and said with a smile: "Let him be your escort is simply a pearl in the dust, big talent is useless, it is better to give him to me, I will let him follow Zhang Yun." ”
Zhang Lei shook his head and said: "It's not for me to decide, it depends on his own wishes, if you can convince him, it doesn't hurt for me to let it out." ”
Guo Song pondered for a moment and said, "You bring him to the Guike Hall, and I will meet him." ”
........
Not long after, Zhou Fei was led to the Guike Hall by Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei just told him that a high-ranking official of the Jin Army wanted to see him, and Zhou Fei immediately guessed that it must be the person he saw at the door just now.
Just as he left a deep impression on Guo Song, Guo Song also left a deep impression on Zhou Fei, and Zhou Fei felt a strong sense of coercion in Guo Song, which is only available to a commander who has led tens of millions of troops.
Zhou Fei walked into the lobby and saw a tall man standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, the person he met at the door just now.
He hesitated, but still knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Villain Zhou Fei see the commander!" ”
This is a military salute, and only those who have been in the army for a long time will have this tacit understanding.
Guo Song glanced back at him, "You are the captain of the Flying Eagle Battalion?" ”
Zhou Fei was shocked in his heart, the name of the Flying Eagle Battalion was only known to the high-level of the Wei Army, and he had not told anyone that this person actually knew who he was?
Zhou Fei was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”
Guo Song smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Wei army patrol team on the other side of Qinghe County was killed by you!" ”
Zhou Fei found that he didn't have any secrets to speak of in front of the other party, and he suddenly had a deep sense of powerlessness, which made him unable to deny or lie.
"Yes! Tian Xu ordered me to lead my men to do it, but I don't know why? ”
"Let me tell you the reason, Tian Xu wanted to cause a crisis between Wei and Jin, so that Tian Yue rushed to Qinghe County to inspect the situation, he ambushed five hundred people halfway, and wanted to take this opportunity to kill Tian Yue."
"Ahh
Zhou Fei was taken aback, "He still has five hundred people, why don't I know at all?" ”
Guo Song smiled faintly, "It's the five hundred dead soldiers left by his father, not in the army, Tian Xu's creation of the Flying Eagle Battalion is actually just a cover, you should know in your heart, does he really pay attention to you?" ”
Zhou Fei's eyes showed a light of hatred, and he said for a while: "I only know now why he poisoned my subordinates, he didn't care about our life or death at all, and those white-clothed people who searched for me should be his dead soldiers." ”
Guo Song took a few steps with his hand, and said: "In fact, Tian Xu has secretly taken refuge in Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zhu promised to help him regain the throne, these Tian Yue don't know, Tian Yue's biggest weakness is that he is easily confused by rhetoric, he believes in his brothers very much, but he forgets that he is not Tian Chengsi's son, Tian Chengsi's sons are eyeing each other, staring at the seat that originally belonged to them, Tian Yue is in the tiger group but does not know. ”
Zhou Fei was shocked when he heard this, "You.... Who are you? ”
Guo Song smiled slightly, "Actually, you've already guessed, haven't you?" ”
"Are you..... His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”
Guo Song nodded, looked back at Zhou Fei, who was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and said slowly: "You are a leopard in the mountains and forests, not a rich man's watchdog, you are a soldier, the battlefield is the world where you soar, the battlefield is your destination and honor, the red dust market is not a place for you to mingle, I am here to summon you back to the army, come with me!" ”
Zhou Fei's eyes were red, every word of King Jin was on his heart, Zhang Lei offered a high price of fifty yuan per month, he didn't agree at once, it was because his heart was still struggling, and he was unwilling to sink into the market like this.
At this time, King Jin's sentence 'You are a leopard in the mountains and forests, not a rich man's watchdog', made his heart feel an unprecedented touch.
There is also 'dying on the battlefield is your destination and honor', the meaning of this sentence is so profound that only a soldier can understand it, and his eyes suddenly become bright, as if he has found his belonging, and he has an urge to die for his confidant.
He knelt down on one knee again and hugged his fists and said, "Zhou Fei is willing to serve His Highness as a dog and horse!" ”
Zhang Lei rolled his eyes at the bottom of the steps, he took the money and the house by himself, full of sincerity, Zhou Fei refused to agree, the junior brother said a few words casually, and he followed with all his heart, it was really more popular than people.
Guo Song said again: "You go back to celebrate the New Year with your wife and children first, and bring your wife and children to Chang'an after the New Year, first come to find Zhang Dongzhu, he will give you a house to settle your wife and children, and then you go to the scout camp to find Zhang Yun, he is the chief general of the scout army, and you will be the scout general under his command in the future, I look forward to seeing the news of your early meritorious service." ”
King Jin arranged all his worries, Zhou Fei was moved in his heart, he had an idea in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The lowly will join the army as soon as possible and serve His Highness!" ”
"Go ahead!"
Zhou Fei got up, saluted Zhang Lei again, turned around and strode away.
Guo Song nodded slightly, this is the person he wants, he is decisive, and there is no mud and water.
Zhang Lei was half angry and dissatisfied: "Senior brother, you snatched my people away in a few words, and you said it so ugly, what kind of rich man's guard dog, just snatch it away, and actually ask me to go out of the house to settle his wife and children, is this a bit excessive?" ”
Guo Song patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Senior brother, he is your buddy after all, who cares if you, the proprietor, don't care about his family?" Also, you just promised me half of the wine in your collection, and I haven't forgotten it! ”
