182 Sulu Khan
The two chatted casually, and unconsciously talked about Sulu Khan.
"Wang Siqing, are you familiar with this Sulu Khan?" Zheng Peng asked with some curiosity.
"Sulu Khan has entered Beijing many times to face the saint, and he has greeted him many times, and he has known each other for many years, so he is quite familiar."
"It's the first time to say that I'm not afraid of Siqing's jokes, and it's the first time I've served as the deputy envoy to greet him, and I don't know much about Sulu, so I still have time, and I ask Siqing to introduce me."
is about to pick up people, and at this time he still asks such a naΓ―ve question, if it is someone else, Wang Changming will definitely scoff at it, maybe he will have to participate in a book, impeach him for not being good at business, but Zheng Peng is not a person from Honglu Temple, it is understandable, and Wang Changming has a very good impression of Zheng Peng, and nodded when he heard the words and said:
"Like the ethnic minorities on the plateau and grassland, most of them believe in the law of wolves, they have the thinking and laws of wolves, generally speaking, the leader is like a wolf, either noble blood, or superior in force, Sulu Khan is both, not only noble blood, first-class martial arts, good at using horse lance, unstoppable on the battlefield, is a tiger general."
Speaking of this, Wang Changming whispered: "Tough like a wolf, cunning like a fox, and fierce like a tiger, this is what people say about Sulu Khan." β
"The people who can control 200,000 strings are really not ordinary people." Zheng Peng said with some sighs.
"That is, the Turgish clan emphasizes the respect of the strong, and if you don't have the strength, you can't be the leader." Speaking of this, Wang Changming said to Zheng Peng with interest: "By the way, Zheng Lezheng, I don't know what your ambitions are?" β
Zheng Peng was speechless for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then said a little embarrassedly: "A certain person is a layman, he doesn't have much ambition, he doesn't need to look at other people's faces, and he lives decently, which is enough." β
Wang Changming paused for a moment, and then laughed: "A great talent is a great talent, speaking is funny, your ambition sounds simple, think about it carefully, it's not easy at all, but your current life is what the old man yearns for, how to say it, Zheng Lezheng has already lived the life of a Zhishi in advance." β
Datang called him to enter the officialdom and returned to the field as a minister, Zheng Peng understood Wang Changming's meaning, and laughed twice, and it was not easy to say anything.
became Bapinle Zheng, but he didn't show up a few times in Zuojiaofang a month, let alone order Mao every day, even if he was a temporary deputy receptionist, he also fished for three days and dried his nets for two days, and I don't know if Wang Changming said this, whether he was envious or sarcastic.
But looking at his look, it was sincere.
Looking at Wang Changming with a smile on his face, Zheng Peng suddenly thought a little funny: yearning for himself, he is young and in good health, and he has no problem drinking flower wine every day, does this Wang Siqing still have this ability?
The two talked and laughed, talked about officialdom for a while, and studied penmanship skills for a while, and the time was easy to pass.
"Report, Sulu Khan came out of Wangjingyi."
"Report, Sulu Khan is fifty miles away from Baqiao."
"Report, Sulu Khan is thirty miles away from Baqiao."
"Report, Sulu Khan is twenty miles away from Baqiao."
......
When the fast horse reported that it was only five miles away from Baqiao, Wang Changming and Zheng Peng tidied up their clothes and waited together on the official road.
Near, close, before I saw anyone, I felt the ground shaking, as the vibration became bigger and bigger, a sound like a mountain and a sea of mountains came from far and near, and then I saw a black shadow in the distance from far and near, like a torrent rolling in, behind it, the flying dust seemed to have a mud dragon flying and galloping.
That feeling, like thousands of horses and thousands of troops charging, was so far away, Zheng Peng felt an indomitable momentum.
"Riding so fast on the official road, what if you run into someone?" Zheng Peng said with some concern.
Wang Changming said indifferently: "It's simple, then don't let people appear on the official road, Sulu Khan is an important ally of the Tang Dynasty, he likes to ride fast horses, and every time he goes on the road, he blocks the official road in advance, or staggers the time." β
I didn't expect that there were also road closures in ancient times, I have to say, having power is cool, as long as there is enough strength, the rules will also become fragile in the face of strength.
As the horse team got closer and closer, Zheng Peng finally saw the people who came, and this team of about 300 people was consistent with the data that Honglu Temple had learned in advance.
The number and scale of the mission are limited, mainly because many missions cover up in the name of face saints and tribute, but they actually come to Datang to do business.
Sulu Khan's people came very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they were only more than 20 zhang away from the reception group, but the speed had not slowed down, seeing that the distance between the two was only about ten zhang, Zheng Peng could feel the ground shaking, the strong wind blowing on his face, and the whole person was so nervous that he was sweating, for fear that the mission would not be able to collect the horse.
The speed of the horse is so fast, the slightest mistake, being hit by the horse, the impact is so great, you have to shed the skin if you don't die.
I wanted to retreat, but when I saw Wang Changming next to me, he looked calm and relaxed, and finally stayed hard.
Fortunately, the horse team was still about three zhang away from the mission, and more than 300 people seemed to have a heart, and they all stepped on the horses and got up and reined in the horses, Zheng Peng was surprised to see that the row of horses in front of them were hanging in the air.
Reining a horse at such high speeds requires a lot of great riding skills.
It is not surprising that one person can do it, but the horse team of more than 300 people has a kind of prohibitive and neat performance, Zheng Peng saw it and was in awe.
Not to mention anything else, just this action makes it clear that the Sulu Khan, who is powerful in the west, is by no means in vain.
Zheng Peng saw that the people of the mission were all wearing a light silk armor, only a saber on their bodies, and the most conspicuous thing was a big man who was surrounded by people like stars hugging the moon, with eagle eyebrows and sword eyes, a high nose bridge, wearing a sleeveless gown, revealing a dark and strong muscle, and when he moved slightly, he revealed a lock of muscles, like a "meat mouse" moving, and a bright red cloak behind him.
There is a portrait of him in Honglu Temple, and Zheng Peng easily recognizes his identity: Sulu Khan.
As soon as he stopped, the dust had not yet dispersed, Wang Changming laughed, walked forward quickly, about three steps away from the horse, and said with a smile while saluting: "Wang Changming, the king of Honglu Temple, has seen Sulu Khan." β
"Hahaha" Sulu Khan on horseback laughed three times, and then patted the horse's back lightly, a pigeon turned over, jumped off the horse's back, and walked quickly to Wang Changming, one hugged Wang Changming and said: "No need to be polite, Wang Siqing, my old friend, we meet again." β
Sulu Khan went to Chang'an almost every year to face the saint, as the secretary of Honglu Temple, Wang Changming was no stranger to him.
"yes, old friend, we meet again." Wang Changming said with some sighs.
Zheng Peng heard Wang Changming mention that when he was still a record of Honglu Temple, he had already met Sulu Khan, who was still a small leader at that time, and the two had a very happy relationship and formed a deep friendship over the years.
No wonder Wang Changming was so calm when he greeted him, which also made Zheng Peng not so nervous, it turned out that there was such a relationship.
The friendship is deep, but the picture is a little not harmonious, Wang Chang is close to the sixtieth year, the old dragon clock, the height is about one meter sixty-two, and the Sulu Khan is even taller than Gao Lishi, estimated to be about one meter ninety-five, strong like an iron tower, looks like an adult and a child, but it is a small old and a big strong.
It is said that Sulu Khan is a master of using a horse lance, which can be regarded as a heavy weapon in cold weapons, and without his body, he really can't play.
