An Lushan hurriedly responded: "Back to the general's words, the little one saw the general in the market, heard that the general was looking for a good horse, and accidentally found a good horse, and came to present it to the general." ”

"Oh" Zheng Peng said with interest: "I remember that you are shy in your pockets, and you almost let people send them to see officials, where did this horse come from?" I didn't get it by accident. ”

The two of them wandered outside, in order to survive, they must have done a lot of things to lead sheep, in fact, An Lushan was twisted to Zhang Shouqi for stealing sheep to change his fate, Zheng Peng was not surprised that An Lushan beat snakes with sticks, and it was strange that he could get a good horse.

When the horse An Lushan first arrived at Zhengfumen to offer a horse, Zheng Peng secretly looked at it on the corner tower, it was a good horse, worth at least fifteen taels of gold, but they only had five taels of gold that they gave them, where did they get this horse?

"Don't dare" An Sishun said respectfully: "This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how dare you commit trouble here, we are using the general's bonus, and then looking for the clansmen who run the horse market in Chang'an for help, luckily, I found a good horse, and I came to present it to the general." ”

"The general is our savior, and also our nobleman, this is just our mind, although it is not a thousand miles or a famous horse, please don't dislike it." An Lushan added.

Zheng Peng nodded and said: "Your horse, I have seen it on the corner tower, yes, a good horse, but I have a temper, that is, I will not accept donations for no reason, say, what do you want?" ”

After boiling An Lushan for three days, feeling that the heat was about the same, Zheng Peng decided to close the net, An Lushan needed a reason to get close to him, and he also needed a way to accept them, the status of the two sides was too different, Zheng Peng didn't want to bother too much, lest An Lushan and An Sishun think too much.

An Lushan's eyes lit up, and he glanced at his brother An Sishun, and found that An Sishun's eyes were also full of surprise.

The two of them didn't have to think about it, they knelt down together, and said in unison: "We are willing to follow the general, but the general is the first to follow." ”

After spending so much effort and starving in front of the mansion for so long, it was just to take refuge in Zheng Peng's door and climb Zheng Peng's big tree to enjoy the shade, but they didn't know how to speak, but they didn't expect Zheng Peng to take the initiative to ask them what they wanted, so smooth that the two couldn't believe it.

Zheng Peng knew the thoughts of the two of them well, and he was secretly happy when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face, but just said indifferently: "There are many people who want to take refuge in me, and many of them are more sincere than you, so you say a reason to take you in." ”

An Sishun thought for a while and took the lead in speaking: "Our brother sincerely admires the general, and it is our honor to serve the general. ”

"The general's prestige is far and wide, and his generosity to his subordinates is well known in Datang, our brothers may not have the background or ability like others, but we are more loyal and hard-working than them, please be a general." An Lushan echoed.

Zheng Peng closed his eyes and didn't speak, but the index finger of his right hand kept tapping on the table next to him, as if he was thinking, An Lushan and An Sishun peeked at Zheng Peng from time to time, so nervous that they even held their breath, pricked up their ears, and wanted to hear what Zheng Peng said.

For Zheng Peng, it may just be a decision made out of interest, but for An Lushan and An Sishun, this decision is related to their future and destiny.

In the middle of the sound, Zheng Peng slowly opened his eyes, looked the two of them up and down, and said: "You are quite clever, I asked you what you wanted just now, and you chose to ask for a chance, okay, I will give you a chance, housekeeper." ”

"The old slave is here," Cui Er hurriedly responded.

Zheng Peng stood up and said as he walked out, "Look at what's going on, give it to them, and see how well they are done." ”

"The old slave obeys."

After sending Zheng Peng away, An Lushan hurriedly saluted Cui Erxing and said, "Butler, if you have something, you can tell me casually." ”

Cui Er sat on the chair next to him, glanced at the two of them, and said lightly: "My aunt rarely accepts outsiders, and the luck of the two of you is really good, and I am willing to give you a chance." ”

"Yes, yes, yes," An Lushan said flatteringly: "That's the general's kindness, and please take more care of the housekeeper, so that our brother can eat a bowl of rice one day, and never forget the kindness of the housekeeper." ”

"That's a good thing to say, the day before yesterday, a guest came to the Zheng Mansion, I believe you are very impressed, because he brought a lot of congratulatory gifts, do you remember his appearance?" Cui Er suddenly asked.

An Lushan replied without hesitation: "Not only do I remember his appearance, but I also found out that he is Guo Tongxiong, the foreign affairs director of the Guo family in your hometown, the housekeeper, is this related to the Guo housekeeper?" ”

Squatting in front of the Zheng Mansion for the past three days, An Lushan has not been idle for a moment, don't look at his honest face, he is actually very smart, especially his memory is very good, the scale of the activities of the Zheng Mansion, who came to visit, etc., remember clearly, Guo Tongxiong was very high-profile when he came to the door, but it was difficult to ignore him.

Cui Ermian said without changing his face: "This person doesn't respect my uncle enough, my uncle is a little unhappy, of course, it's not to hurt him, if you can give him a profound lesson, a lesson that can make my aunt happy, it will be done." ”

An Lushan and his brother An Sishun exchanged a look, and quickly and simply responded: "It is our brother's honor to be able to relieve the general's worries, may I ask the housekeeper, how much time can we have." ”

Isn't it just a lesson for a small businessman, don't talk about a lesson, even if he does it, An Lushan and An Sishun don't blink.

There is a suspicion of releasing water in this test, An Lushan was secretly happy in his heart, and felt that he was a big step closer to the days of following Zheng Peng and embarking on brocade clothes and food.

The people in the upper position are not provoked, and if they are not respectful, they will have to be taught a lesson, so they can also relieve their anger, they don't have to hold this gas all day long, they all say that the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, General Zheng is not a gentleman who only has lip service, and the general who holds great power is a noble champion, and he does not have to wait for ten years, he can take revenge in a few days.

That's right, Tubo designed to hurt so many brothers of General Zheng, and even General Zheng's most relied on personal guards were killed, and General Zheng was angry, and he forcibly destroyed the invincible Tubo, a small businessman, and taught him not to even have to pick a day.

Do whatever you want, domineering, free and easy, An Lushan is both envious and afraid of Zheng Peng, and secretly decides in his heart: No matter whether he can be Zheng Peng's subordinate or not, there is a principle that must not be relaxed, that is, he must not be the enemy of Zheng Peng.

Otherwise, I don't know how to die.

"Within three days."

"No problem, please wait for the good news from the general and the housekeeper, within three days, our brother will definitely teach Guo Tongxiong, who doesn't know what to do, a profound lesson." An Lushan said categorically.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention three days, even Cui Er said that there was only one day, and he fought hard.

Cui Er nodded with satisfaction, touched it in his sleeve, and took out two five-tael gold ingots and put them on the coffee table next to him: "Take it." ”

"Butler, this... What is the meaning? An Sishun asked with some puzzlement.

Isn't there a test, I haven't done it yet, and suddenly I took out two gold ingots, what does this mean?

is filial piety, and it is also the two brothers who respect Cui Guan.

Money is a good thing, An Sishun and An Lushan are now empty, to be honest, eating and sleeping are problems, in order to save money, the two of them went out of the city before closing the city gate, and found a place to nest for a night, and suddenly saw two ingots of yellow and clear gold, and their eyes were shining, but for the future, they had to ask clearly.

Cui Er said unhurriedly: "Take it, whether it's a meeting gift, or a fund, well, this is what my aunt meant." ”

An Lushan saw that Cui Er was not joking, and thanked him again and again, so he took it away.

In half a quarter of an hour, An Lushan and An Sishun walked out of the gate of the Zheng Mansion with some vigor, and the horse offered it, but there were ten taels of gold on their bodies.

One of the two ingots of gold was taken by each person, An Sishun touched the gold ingots on his waist through his clothes, and couldn't help but say: "Tsk, it is worthy of General Zheng, any hair is thicker than our waist, and it is ten taels of gold when we make a shot, which is too bright." ”

An Lushan said with some admiration: "General Zheng is too good at being a man, knowing that we have no money, he specially rewarded two ingots of gold, if we complete the test, these two ingots of gold will be a reward; If we fail, two ingots of gold plus five taels of gold given to us by the bazaar are exactly the same as the money of horses, and they will not take advantage of us little people. ”

"What is rare is not these two ingots of gold, but General Zheng's heart that actually thinks about our two little people, and this alone is worth following us to the death." An Sishun said with a sigh.

"That's right, brother, let's go."

"Big brother, where are you going?"

An Lushan laughed: "Of course, let's find a restaurant to eat first, and while we eat, we will discuss how to teach that Guo Tongxiong who doesn't know whether to live or die." ”

"Yes, yes, my belly is about to stick to my backbone, by the way, big brother, we also have to tell Brother Haig in the horse market, give him one of these two gold ingots, and it will be regarded as making up for the horse money."

"Okay, it's all up to you."
