598 No surprises, no surprises
The Tiger Battalion has not been so happy for a long time, except for the personnel on duty, all of them eat meat and drink in large bowls in the camp, and several thousand cavalry envoys who are good friends with Zheng Peng also brought people to attend, and the scene is very lively.
Early the next morning, when Zheng Peng was still asleep in the barracks, he was woken up by Ah Jun and said that Li Xiancheng of the Fierce Wolf Camp had something to see.
"I'm not free, let him come back in another hour." Zheng Peng didn't open his eyes, and said angrily.
Disrupting people's dreams is like killing their parents, Zheng Peng asked Luo Qian, Yi Biao and a few of them to pour a lot of wine last night, and now there are still two points of alcohol that have not returned.
"Having said that, he said that there are 100,000 urgent matters, so let the young master get up, otherwise...... The young master will regret it. ”
Zheng Peng opened his eyes all of a sudden, and said with an unhappy face: "You dare to threaten me?" Go, let him come over and see why he's so crazy. ”
After a while, Li Xiancheng, who was dressed in military uniform, strode into Zheng Peng's room, saw Zheng Peng who was still lying on the bed, paused for a moment, and quickly said calmly: "I thought that Zheng Qianqi was such an easy-going person. ”
Knowing that he was coming, it didn't matter if he didn't tidy up his appearance, and he didn't even get up from bed, which was too rude.
Zheng Peng yawned and said lazily: "Is Li Qian's cavalry envoy mocking me for being disheveled or disobeying military discipline?" You're welcome, you can report me at any time, and if you have the real ability, you can expel me from the Yulin Army. ”
Li Xiancheng was not provoked by Zheng Peng, so he went straight to find a place to sit down, and said to himself: "I heard that Zheng Qianqi is not enthusiastic about his career, and he likes to spend the moon before and after, it seems that what he has passed is true." ”
"I don't know what Li Qianqi is looking for me? Is it to cancel our gambling contract, if this is the case, Li Qianqi can leave, I agree. ”
Yesterday, the Fire Wolves were beaten to the north, shocking the four, and it is estimated that Li Xiancheng didn't sleep well all night.
"The polo game is estimated to be suspended, but the gambling contract will not be canceled, there are two habits, one is to say one is one, and two is two, and it will not change halfway; The second is to never stab relatives and friends in the back, or to robe. ”
Zheng Peng pursed his lips and said, "Li Qianqi came to visit so early, just to sing praises to himself?" ”
"Early?"
"Early" Zheng Peng said angrily: "Now the sky is only showing the white belly of the fish, and the soldiers haven't gone out yet, isn't it early?" ”
If he was woken up by a beautiful woman, Zheng Peng could forgive, but the problem was that he was woken up by a man who was five big and three rough, and he was really unhappy.
It's not that Li Xiancheng has a special identity, and he wants to slap him twice.
Li Xiancheng said unhurriedly: "It's really not early, it stands to reason that a certain should have come last night, but yesterday your camp polo team won a big victory, and the camp was celebrated, so it was not good to disturb Zheng Qian's cavalry envoy Yaxing, so it was delayed until now, it shouldn't be early, it should be said that it's late." ”
Seeing that Li Xiancheng's serious appearance was not like a joke, Zheng Peng sat up suddenly: "Li Qianqi, don't play dumb riddles anymore, if there is anything, get straight to the point." ”
"Okay" Li Xiancheng said very simply: "Recently, there have been bandits in the Western Regions who have disturbed the people, and the people are unbearable, Zheng Qianqi should know about this, right?" ”
"I know, it's said that it's a bandit, but it's actually an elite team in Tubo or supported by Tubo, and if you can't beat Datang, it's just looking for someone to be deliberately disgusting, a group of clowns who jump off the beam."
After a pause, Zheng Peng added: "It is said that the good are afraid of the bad, the bad are afraid of the bad, and the bad are afraid of the dead, and they make this out, it is clear that they are relying on and not wanting to die, and if they don't deal with it well, it will always be a heart disease, and it is not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions." ”
"Papapa" Li Xiancheng clapped his hands and said: "I really deserve to be a wise general, I hit the nail on the head, it seems that XX's decision is right." ”
Zheng Peng felt a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Decided?" What was decided? ”
Li Xiancheng looked left and right, and then looked at Zheng Peng without speaking.
"If you have something to say, Li Qianqi might as well say bluntly, there are no outsiders here." Zheng Peng knew what he meant, and affirmed Ah Jun on the spot.
Ah Jun is Zheng Peng's absolute confidant, there is no need to hide it from him.
Li Xiancheng said straightforwardly: "Yu Khotan town guard Tang Kuan into Beijing, ostensibly to report on work, in fact, it is to ask for help, the emperor decided to transfer a battalion from the Yulin Army to suppress the bandits, the emperor is favored, a certain is the person in charge of this operation, in view of Zheng Qiancai envoy has experience in the Western Regions, good at ambushes, I recommend Zheng Qiancai to the emperor as a deputy, the day after tomorrow. ”
What, Western Regions?
Zheng Peng was dumbfounded, opened his mouth wide and didn't say anything for a long time.
Last time, for the sake of Lushu, I was hard-headed and hung my head on the waistband of my trousers, and I almost handed over my little life, and finally returned to Chang'an, I wanted to live a life of peace, and now I am hugging left and right, business is booming, and I am about to move into a new house, and my life is prosperous, and I want to go to a place where birds don't?
It feels like someone has been knocked on a stick.
Li Xiancheng saw Zheng Peng's surprised appearance, and smiled: "Surprised, surprised, you must know that this opportunity is rare, many people can't ask for it, if it weren't for Li Qianqi's most suitable conditions, I really don't want to give you this opportunity." ”
Without waiting for Zheng Peng to speak, Li Xiancheng said again: "On that day, Li Qianqi asked a certain person, what merits did he have, and a certain asked himself if there was indeed no military merit that could be done, this time was an opportunity to prove himself, and it was also an opportunity to be better than anyone else. ”
In the battle of Pakhana, Zheng Peng was majestic, fame and fortune, and became the envy of the soldiers, Li Xiancheng was also one of the envious, he always wanted to compete with Zheng Peng to see which one was better.
Now is the opportunity.
Surprise? Accidentally?
Zheng Peng almost wanted to kick him to death, he likes to suffer, what's the reason for pulling himself, is he panicking or trying to hurt others?
After harming himself, he still ran here to ask for credit, and said things like surprise and surprise.
"Li Qianqi envoy wait a minute" Zheng Peng hurriedly stood up and said: "Such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, don't take care of me like this, Li Qianqi envoy also said just now, I am not very interested in the official career, it is better to give this opportunity to people with lofty ideals." ”
"I just want to give this opportunity to Zheng Qianqi, because you are the most suitable person." Li Xiancheng said unmoved.
"I was punished with a rod a few days ago, and now I still have old problems in my body, so I am afraid that it will be inconvenient."
"This problem has been considered" Li Xiancheng said with a straight face: "Yesterday, I observed Zheng Qianqi, I can run and jump, I can ride a horse as fast as the wind, and I can act unharmed, you must know that Zheng Qianqi is a wise general, and this kind of rough work must not be risked by Zheng Qiancai, so it doesn't matter if there is an old trouble that cannot be seen." ”
Zheng Peng was a little speechless, and even the reason for the injury was dismissed, his eyes rolled, and he quickly had an idea: "The most busy thing, the Tiger Battalion has just taken over, many things are not on the right track, I have chosen a day to enter the new house, and the good time for my sister at home is also approaching, and there are a lot of things, so it is best to change someone else and give this opportunity to make meritorious service to others." ”
"Hmph" Li Xiancheng suddenly snorted coldly, and shouted loudly: "Zheng Qianqi made this a mistake, there is a country and a home, we naturally have to share the king's worries, the emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, how can you bargain, a certain will not play tricks with you, the day after tomorrow morning as a heavy soldier, after last night's discussion, the soldiers are expensive in the fine is not expensive, you and I in our respective thousand cavalry battalions to choose the second team of elite action, okay, that's it, if the arrangements are made earlier, I believe that Zheng Qiancai will still have time to go home and have a small gathering with his family, Remember that this matter is a first-class secret, do not disclose it, otherwise you will bear the consequences and leave. ”
Without waiting for Zheng Peng to answer, Li Xiancheng slapped a transfer order on the case and walked away.
Zheng Peng picked up the order and looked at it, and his face immediately sank: Li Xiancheng did not lie to himself, and he was indeed going to carry out a secret mission.
With a snap, he put the order printed with Li Longji's seal on the desk, and Zheng Peng, who was still angry, kicked down the stool that Li Xiancheng was sitting on, and said with a scolding: "Surprise your sister, care about your sister, this kind of thing also dragged me into the water, Li Xiancheng, are you not able to afford to lose 10,000 yuan and deliberately make off-board moves, don't play if you can't afford to gamble, what kind of thing." ”
Li Xiancheng regarded this operation as an opportunity to correct his name, and he was inexplicably excited, while Zheng Peng was different, because Zheng Peng was too impressed there.
The place is sparsely populated, especially in the place bordering Tubo, sometimes you can't see a person for two days, not to mention that Chang'an is far away from the Western Regions, it will take several months to come and go, and it is difficult to find a group of wandering and elusive bandits to the Western Regions.
If those bandits stop halfway and disappear, what will it be like to toss themselves?
As soon as he thought of these, Zheng Peng had a headache, and couldn't help kicking down the stool where Li Xiancheng was sitting.
It was all he who dragged himself into the water.
