648 Cardinal's Determination
Yao Chong proposed, Zhang said to agree, even Li Longji also showed a satisfied look, where are there still people who are not interested, the court passed Yao Chong's proposal, and Zheng Peng, a thousand cavalry envoys of the Yulin Army, made meritorious service for his crimes, and once again served as the deputy supervisor of the Western Regions.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Peng was demoted, and even had a taste of exile, but people with a discerning eye could see that it was not Li Longji's wind direction that had changed, but that the sky in the Western Regions was about to change.
The Western Regions are surrounded by foreign enemies, far away from the Beijing Division, and the different from the imperial history of the supervising army in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, many things are too late to ask for instructions, so that the imperial history of the supervising army in the Western Regions is not only the emperor's "eyes", but also the emperor's spokesperson, with arbitrary power.
Yao Chong and Zhang Shuo had no opinion, and the ministers naturally had no opinion.
After retreating from the court, Li Longji left Yao Chong, Zhang Shuo, Song Jing and others for a meeting, and discussed for more than two hours before dispersing.
Li Longji is young and strong, politically diligent, and has the help of virtuous ministers around him, and the political communication is reached, that is, the Western Regions have encountered great changes, and he can still be unfazed, and after the end of the dynasty, the wine is still drunk, and the music is listened to, while Yang Ji and Huang Yang in the Western Regions are not so lucky, the people who participated in the rebellion must be liquidated, held accountable, the casualties must be compensated, and the frightened people and large and small forces must be appeased, in addition, we must closely guard against the Tubo who has completely fallen out with the Tang Dynasty.
There is a person in the Western Regions who is very idle, Zheng Peng.
After sending back the bodies of the fallen soldiers, Zheng Peng was also idle, except for occasionally going to the wounded barracks to see the wounded Yulin Army soldiers, most of the time was spent wandering around Khotan Town, hunting, and sometimes going to the Tiger Camp to go around, which was regarded as going back to visit relatives.
The main thing is boredom.
Zheng Peng is identity is the Yulin Army's thousands of horsemen and thousands of cavalry, the official position is not high, but it is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, even the superintendent of the army Yang Ji has no right to transfer, Zheng Peng, who is bent on revenge, is determined to stay in the Western Regions, but the Western Regions are far away from Chang'an, and it will take a lot of time to wait for Li Longji's approval, and all he can do is wait.
Fortunately, although Li Longji's approval did not arrive, Huang Yang was very attentive to Yulinjun, and the supply was never interrupted, and he also found the best Langzhong to treat the wounded soldiers of Yulinjun, which saved Zheng Peng a lot of heart.
Unknowingly, it was winter, after Zheng Peng got up, he practiced with Qian Erbao for a while, and suddenly said: "Erbao, what day is today?" ”
"Boss, today is the fifth day of November."
Time flies so fast, there are still more than 20 days, and it is the Chinese New Year, Zheng Peng really has a feeling that time is like an arrow, and the sun and the moon are like flying.
It's been more than half a year since I left home, and when I entered the new house, I became the shopkeeper of the house, keeping the New Year, watching the lanterns, and I couldn't live with Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er, I don't know why, when I thought of the second daughter, Zheng Peng's heart was full of homesickness.
I haven't seen you for so long, I don't know how the second daughter is, how is the health of her parents, Zheng Wan and Zheng Li's two cousins are not going well in their studies, and the little sister is about to marry into the Guo family.
"Boss, homesick?" Qian Erbao asked cautiously.
"Think" Zheng Peng said very bluntly: "But if you don't take revenge, you will be ashamed of your brothers under Jiuquan, and you will have no shame to return to Chang'an." ”
Qian Erbao said with red eyes: "Lao Zhou, Lao Cao, Lao Xu, these old brothers, died too miserably, boss, we must avenge this revenge." ”
Zheng Peng patted Qian Erbao on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this first, let's go, it's so cold, let's go to the street and drink a bowl of hot mutton soup." ”
"Boss, the mutton soup is going to be remembered, and I want to eat it happily."
"It's okay to eat whole sheep"
The two talked and laughed, and when they were about to leave the barracks, a herald ran in, saluted Zheng Peng, and said respectfully: "Thousand horsemen, the lord of Landuo of Tuqi Shi is asking to see you outside the door." ”
Who? Landot is coming?
Zheng Peng was a little surprised, but thinking that Tuqishi had been severely injured and An Lu Khan had also been seriously injured, it was reasonable for Lan Duo to come back to see him.
"Quick, get her in, no, I'll pick her up myself."
Walking quickly out of the gate of the barracks, Zheng Peng saw Lan Duo standing in the snow at a glance.
A hat made of white fox skin, a shawl of tiger skin, a robe made of white fox attack, and a red silk cloak tied on the body, looking graceful and luxurious, with a tall figure and a first-class face, standing in the snow, like an elf in a snow country.
Being stared at by Zheng Peng, Lan Duo's good-looking cheeks flushed, glanced at Zheng Peng, and said angrily: "Zheng Peng, with you staring at people like this, what's the matter, if Lu Shu is not there, you will be lawless?" ”
"Where, I am happy to meet again after a long absence, but the county lord is beautiful again."
Zheng Peng's words are sincere, Lan Duo is a typical representative of the beauty of the Western Regions, with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and an angular face, which has a great degree of recognition with the beauty of the Yuanyuan who is beautiful in roundness.
The proportions of the body are also amazing.
If the Central Plains beauty is praised like this, she must be very embarrassed, even if she doesn't avoid it, she will say "Xiaolang Jun has won the award", but Lan Duo unceremoniously accepted all the orders: "Even if you have vision, but you still want to think about how to explain to your two wives when you go back to Chang'an." ”
Speaking of this, Lan Duo blinked and said, "Zheng Peng, you are really bold, you dare to speak like this in front of Lu Shu's henchmen." ”
Midori's henchman?
Zheng Peng paused for a moment, subconsciously looked at the person who was following Lan Duo, when Zheng Peng's eyes fell on a guard with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes behind Lan Duo, he felt that this person was very kind, as if he had seen it somewhere, and then saw it more clearly, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Cardinal, is it you?" ”
That's right, the person who followed Landuo was the cardinal, Zheng Peng remembered that beautiful and cold face in his dreams, as well as her ghostly body.
Almost died at the hands of this woman.
Cardinal saluted Zheng Peng: "Hello uncle." ”
Zheng Peng asked while looking around, "You're here, what about Lu Shu, are you coming along?" ”
"Mademoiselle didn't come," said Cardinal, expressionlessly.
Lan Duo said on the side: "Zheng Peng, you are not the first day of being a soldier, don't you know the rule that your family members can't follow the army?" Lu Shu and Xun'er both wanted to come, and asked someone to ask Gao Gonggong to intercede, but they didn't let them. ”
"It's a mess here, so it's better not to come." Zheng Peng said helplessly.
Family members accompanying the army will distract the attention of the soldiers, and may also interfere with the normal operation of the army, and the most important point is that when the war is fought, the family members become hostages in disguise, and the emperor can also rest assured that he will supervise the war in the rear.
Lan Duo sighed, stomped his feet and said, "Zheng Peng, the county lord has traveled so far to find you, why, standing here talking on such a cold day, don't you invite us in to sit down?" ”
Zheng Peng remembered that he was still standing at the camp gate, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Sorry, I forgot for a while, two of you, please come in"
After that, he turned his head to Qian Erbao and said, "Take the county lord's guards to eat something hot, and you must be entertained." ”
Qian Erbao answered and brought the team that protected Landuo down to entertain him.
As soon as Lan Duo entered Zheng Peng's barracks, he felt a wave of heat rushing to his face, and he suddenly felt like he was sweating from the heat.
After taking off his fur hat and cloak, he looked at the huge charcoal basin placed in the middle of the barracks, and said with some envy: "The treatment of the Yulin Army is good, even if it is to take the mud and use the silver frost charcoal, many of our people in Tuqi Shi have not even burned sheep dung. ”
The Geluo people thought that they were treated unfairly, the Tang Dynasty was too powerful, and they did not have the strength and courage to attack the Tang Dynasty, and vented their anger on the Tuqi Shi, who had always been regarded as a feud, in addition to crazy killing, they also set fire to the camp, burned grain and grass, and did not let go of the livestock, and the Tuqi Shi never dreamed that Ge Lulu would be so bold, and suffered heavy losses when he was caught off guard.
Not to mention anything else, it is a problem to take the dung in winter, some people even use wet cow dung and sheep dung to burn the fire to get the dung, which is stinky and smoky, and many people have tears in their eyes.
Zheng Peng is good, there is no one in the house, the charcoal stove is still lit, and the silver frost charcoal with no smoke and little ash is still used, and many rich and noble families in the Western Regions are reluctant to use it.
"There is no shortage of charcoal, but these silver frost charcoals are bought at your own expense, county lord, cardinals, you sit down and talk."
Landor said, "You won't treat yourself badly," and sat down, while Cardinal stood aside and said no.
Serving hot tea and pastries, Zheng Peng couldn't wait to ask, "Are Cardinals, Lushu and Xun'er okay?" Have you entered the house? How are my two cousins doing? ”
Zheng Peng asked a few questions at once, and Lan Duo said with some dissatisfaction: "Zheng Peng, even if you are in a hurry, you have to take your time, ask so many questions at once, which one is better for Cardinal to answer you." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm in a hurry." Zheng Peng said with some embarrassment.
Cardinal said: "Miss and Xun'er are very good, just remember the homework of the two Xiao Langjun, Zheng Wan and Zheng Li, Miss sent someone to ask, study hard, but the grades are average, located in the middle of the bar, in August Miss moved into the new house, and the key to the small house where Xuanyangfang originally lived was also given to the two Xiao Langjun after moving into the new house. ”
Simply and accurately answered Zheng Peng's questions one by one.
Zheng Peng asked about the situation at home again, and when he learned that everything was fine, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lan Duo said with some curiosity: "Zheng Peng, the battle is over here, you are so homesick, you will go back when you are homesick, why do you stay here and ask long questions and short questions?" ”
"Don't go back for the time being" Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "Nearly 1,000 people left Beijing, there are more than 50 people left, and of the 92 people trapped on the mountain that day, only I am the only one who came back alive, all thanks to the brothers who sacrificed their lives all the way to save each other, so many brothers fell under the conspiracy of Tubo, and went back like this, unwillingly, unwillingly!" ”
Speaking of the back, Zheng Peng's eyes turned red, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
There is another thing Zheng Peng wanted to figure out, when Kuro and Guo Ziyi became brothers, he didn't expect that he suddenly led his clan to betray the Tang Dynasty, and also sent troops to participate in the battle of Pangong Coo, Zheng Peng wanted to ask him, was he sincere or wanted to use himself and Guo Ziyi from the beginning.
Guo Ziyi's life and death are uncertain, and he can't just leave.
"Midori knows you so well." Lando said suddenly.
"Know me? What do you mean? ”
Lan Duo put down the teacup and said slowly: "Lu Shu said that you are a good man, but a person who values love and righteousness, and he is also proud in his heart, he has suffered such a big loss in the Western Regions, and he must take revenge to go with peace of mind. ”
"What, let the cardinals protect me?" Zheng Peng said with a look of surprise.
No wonder the cardinal followed, and also disguised herself as a man, Zheng Peng thought that the Western Regions was in an eventful autumn, and Lu Shu sent the cardinal to escort Lan Duo back to the Western Regions, and successfully brought some letters to herself, but she didn't expect Lu Shu to send the most trusted and best martial arts cardinal to her side to fill the vacancy of Ah Jun.
Zheng Peng's attitude immediately angered the cardinal, and he immediately stood up and said: "If my uncle thinks that the cardinal is not good, we can have a competition, otherwise we can choose one of your subordinates to compete, if you lose, the slave family will disappear immediately." ”
Although the cardinal is a woman, she is extremely strong, and her most hated thing is to be looked down upon, and she has also taught many people who look down on her with practical actions, but Zheng Peng, who spoke, her aunt, must not do anything to her master as a slave, so she couldn't help it.
"No, don't get me wrong" Zheng Peng hurriedly explained: "This is a military camp, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient."
The cardinal said expressionlessly: "Aunt Xie cares, the cardinal can deal with it, if my uncle doesn't need the cardinal, then the cardinal will immediately commit suicide." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the cardinal's wrist flicked, and there was a glittering blade in his hand.
Zheng Peng was startled, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, there is a lack of a reliable guard by your side now." ”
Lan Duo was also startled, and hurriedly pulled the cardinal and said, "Sister Cardinal, even if Zheng Peng doesn't agree, you don't have to do this, quickly put away the knife, it's scared to death." ”
As soon as the cardinal's wrist flipped, the short knife put her in her sleeve, and then said with a calm face: "Carrying out the task assigned by the master is the meaning of the cardinal's existence, and completing the task assigned by the master is the cardinal's greatest pride, if the uncle does not need it, then the cardinal has no meaning of existence." ”
In the feudal era, the concept of hierarchy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially Lu Shu, a family slave who had been cultivated since childhood, was even more loyal, and Zheng Peng also secretly admired Cui Yuan for seeing people and training people, and cultivating such an excellent guard.
After getting Zheng Peng's approval, after handing over a few thick letters from Cardinal to Zheng Peng, he naturally walked to Zheng Peng's side and stood.
Soon into the role of personal bodyguard.
Needless to say, those letters were written by Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er, Zheng Peng was not in a hurry to open them, turned his head to Lan Duo and said, "County Lord, are you back in the clan?" ”
"Can you not go back, alas, it's too miserable" As soon as she mentioned the Turgish, Landuo's expression was a little sad, but her face quickly became resolute, her eyes became sharp, and she gritted her teeth and said: "The warriors of Turgish, as stoic as wolves, as strong as tigers, as inviolable as holy mountains, despicable and shameless Gelulu, the blood debts they commit must be repaid by them ten times or a hundred times, even if they escape to the edge of the sky, they will be caught one by one, and then executed with a knife." ”
Zheng Peng believed that if his gaze could kill, he would be killed dozens of times by Lan Duo's gaze.
"By the way, county lord, is An Lu Khan okay, it's okay, right?" Zheng Peng deliberately diverted the conversation.
