Chapter 5 The pearl is covered with dust

The city of Jixian County is three times larger than that of Xiangping, and the road to the post house means that Yanbei led the elite cavalry warriors to carry the Yanzi flag in a big circle in the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, half of the people in the city know this rebel leader named Yanbei.

Although he surrendered to the state capital, to the people and the people of Youzhou, he was still the leader of the rebel army. And this realization will continue for a long time.

From a distance, Yan Bei saw a mansion next to the post house, and couldn't help frowning.

This courtyard is a little dilapidated, it has not been repaired for some years, and even the loess rammed courtyard wall is pitted, revealing a dying. The group of elite horsemen stopped outside the courtyard, Yan Bei turned over and dismounted, turned to Gao Ran and asked, "Are you sure that Zhen's people will live in this kind of place?" ”

This courtyard is a little bigger, it looks like it is surrounded by three entrances, if it is smaller, it is completely a dilapidated Qianshou residence...... Zhen's family, after all, is the number one family in Jizhou, not to mention that it has lasted for hundreds of years, the first Han Dynasty is also a scholar family who has produced Jiuqing, even if Jizhou suffers a disaster, it will not be so down, right?

The moment before stepping into the mansion, Yan Bei felt that perhaps he had underestimated the impact of the Black Mountain Rebellion on Jizhou.

The yard is not small, but it is a little messy, there are carts and wooden boxes piled up in the corners, an old servant carries a broom and sweeps the land that seems to never be clean, and the two chief horned children run around chasing the hens, but at this time they were frightened by Yan Bei and his subordinates in armor, one ran into the house crying and the other hid behind a tree.

Yan Bei took a step forward, turned around and pushed Gao Ran and Lu Yi to the outside of the courtyard, and asked in a low voice: "Send someone to Yongnu to find Fu Gonghe, and ask him to send a rider who can speak well to Zhuo County, Shanggu County, Dai County, and Guangyang County...... I remember him saying that there was a shortage of people in Liaodong, right, and to bring him a sentence, the Jizhou Rebellion was much more serious than we thought, and he knew what to do. You're waiting for me outside. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Bei walked in with a calm face. Just in time for the crying of children to attract adults, an old woman dressed luxuriously but without accessories walked out of the house, saw Yanbei in military uniform and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Yan Bei didn't know who it was, so he took out Zhen's name thorn from his bosom and asked, "Madam, is Zhen here?" Zhongshan Zhen? ”

The woman frowned and took the famous thorn, then looked at him carefully, as if thinking of something, and asked in a voice, "Are you Yanbei?" Ah no, you're General Yan? ”

"Is this really Zhen's? Oh, in Xia Yanbei, I have seen Madame. Although Yanbei didn't know who the old woman was, he still hurriedly saluted, and then asked, "Jizhou is in turmoil?" ”

"Old man Zhen Zhang, the general should come in first." The old woman is Zhen Yan's mother, although Yanbei had a close relationship with the Zhen family before, but it has not yet reached the point of greeting Gao Tang, since he has never seen it, he was admitted to the hall by the old woman, and then he heard the old woman greet him: "Ah Miao, a guest is coming, serve warm soup." ”

After that, Zhen Zhang said to Yan Bei apologetically: "San Lang and Zijing went out to visit Yuyang Wangjun, go out for an hour, General Yan and wait a while, they should come back in a while." ”

San Lang is Zhen Yan's younger brother Zhen Yao, but I don't know who this son is through Yanbei. As for Yuyang Wangjun, Yanbei has never heard of it, but since he came back after a while, it naturally means that the person is also in Jixian County.

Yan Bei hurriedly got up and said to Zhen Zhang's guilt: "It's already disrespectful to you to come to visit, you don't have to apologize, since there is no one in the house, Yan won't bother much, this is ...... Yan has seen Xiao Niang. ”

Turning his head, in those dark wars, on those dirty and muddy battlefields, the little lady of the Zhen family who made him think about it was coming with a bowl of honey syrup and a low head, and only then did he raise his head when he heard Yan Bei's voice, and then he paused and opened his mouth slightly, and inadvertently exclaimed, "Ah! ”

Smack!

The clay bowl with honey syrup fell to the ground and fell into three petals.

He's coming!

Yan Bei took two quick steps, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask something, but saw Zhen Jiang take a big step back suddenly, lowered his head and said quickly and panickedly: "General Yan, don't blame, the concubine is out of shape, so I will re-present the ...... for you."

Before he finished speaking, Zhen Jiang turned around and walked around the side hall into the back room.

Yan Bei raised his arm for two breaths before slowly closing his mouth and reacting...... Zhen Jiang: What's wrong? Although the relationship was not very close in the past, it was far from being so cold or, polite? Thinking of this, he didn't say more, his heart was messy, and he accused Zhen Zhang: "Don't blame Madam, Yan will go to wait for Brother Zhen outside the house, it's rude." ”

Since there are only female dependents in the house, he will naturally not be in a proper position to stay here, so even if he confesses to Zhen Zhang's family, he turned around and walked out.

When he walked out of the mansion and smiled evilly at Gao Lanyi, Yan Bei still frowned and shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and slowly shook his head and said: "There is no one in the family, only female dependents, I will wait outside for a while, Brother Koji, you will lead the troops out of the city first and let the sergeants set up camp, leaving a horse pawn and A Xiu...... When this is done, I will go out of the city to find you. ”

In fact, Lu Yi was even more anxious than Yan Bei, he wanted to ask the state pastor Liu Yu about them, or the arrangement for him, he knew that Yan Bei would definitely ask for an official for him, but he didn't know what position he would be. But seeing that Yan Bei frowned at the moment, he didn't want to ask more questions, so he could only give up his promise and lead forty soldiers to slowly pace out of the city.

It seems that we will have to wait until the evening to ask.

said that Zhen Jiang turned into the inner room, and then he suddenly noticed that his body seemed to have lost his strength, leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, and couldn't help but feel sour between his noses, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks...... Everything is different, Yanbei is still the same.

Zhen's centuries-old foundation in Zhongshan is gone, the second brother is gone, and the few remaining people fled all the way from Jizhou to Jixian County, and they are helpless in life and land. Yanbei was the only friendly old face she had seen in these nightmarish days.

At noon, she saw Yanbei raising troops through the alley from a distance, and that kind of majestic confidence made her feel at ease from the bottom of her heart. She thought that when she saw Yanbei again, she could jump up and knock on his bright but scratched shoulder armor with a bright smile, and pretend to arch her hand, congratulating him on becoming a big man in the eyes of others.

Even if he didn't reveal his worries when he heard the few words about the war in his heart, he could pretend to ask him about the ins and outs of the battles, and explore the thrill and excitement in his eyes.

He can even make fun of his manhood and make fun of his human appearance now, and the grass chicken flies up the branches and grows golden retrievers. Encourage him to be a good official like Ah Weng, so that she doesn't have to be so clumsy that she has nothing to say when telling others what the real Yanbei is like.

But when she saw Yan Bei and saw his embarrassed appearance when he had something to say, she knew that everything was different.

She was afraid that Yanbei would open her mouth and ask her what was wrong.

She was more afraid to answer herself, answer her, they ...... There is no home left.

What she was most afraid of was that she couldn't speak clearly, her mouth was blurred, and her stupid appearance of tears falling down when she opened her mouth was seen by him.

Zhen Jiang hates herself even more like an idiot now, leaning against the wall and getting wet, so she can only hug her hard and run to comfort her sister, but no matter how tightly she hugs, it will be useless, and she can only cry harder.

……

Gao Ran saw the worry in Yan Bei's eyes, restrained his smile after Lu Yi left, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it, Zhen's current situation...... Not good? ”

"It's not just bad." Yan Bei knocked on his chest twice, the tip of his tongue pursed his lower lip to reveal a few snow-white teeth, and his brows have never stretched since he came out, "There is nothing in the house, and the old lady doesn't even have a slave or maid to serve by her side...... Wait here with me, let the brothers get out of the way, don't get in the way of people crossing the street, get off the horse, and scare people again with spears and knives. ”

"No." Gao Ran didn't know how to comfort Yan Bei, so he had to arrange a horse according to his wishes, and ordered everyone to tie up the horses, so he and Yan Bei stood in front of the side of the mansion and waited, tilted his head and asked, "Where did Zhen Jun go?" ”

Yanbei shook his head, "I don't know, the Zhang family only mentioned San Lang and a person named Zijing, probably Zhen's friend in Youzhou, what Yuyang Wangjun went to visit together, maybe Brother Zhen also went together." ”

"Eh, Yuyang King?" Yan Bei's brows suddenly furrowed deeper, "If it's a king, maybe I know the person they went to visit." It's strange, how could Brother Zhen have a relationship with him? ”

"Who?"

"Guangyang Anci Wang Song."

"Definitely not, didn't you just say that it was the king of Yuyang, how could it be Guangyang Anci." Gao Ran pursed his lips and smiled: "You are concerned about it, you are wrong." ”

"That's right, you don't understand the situation. In his early years, Yan had a Zhuangzi in Fanyang, Zhuo County, and instructed Jiang Jin and Wang Yi to smuggle salt and iron in Yuyang and sell horses outside the country. Yanbei glanced at Gao Ran and said: "Anci Wang is a big surname, Anci has their Wubao, Quanzhou has their salt farm, and Yongnu has their craftsman slaves...... is much more powerful than Yan, and my little business is leaking out of their teeth. ”

"Then how are you sure it's Wang Song?"

"His father is a very talented person, but he passed away a few years ago, and now he is in charge of Wang Song...... Also a young man. Yan Bei glanced at Gao Ran and chuckled: "He is the one who can let Brother Zhen visit." But I can't figure it out, even if Brother Zhen's talent reaches Youzhou, it should be easy to ask for an official position in the state capital, why is the government so dilapidated, and it has something to do with such a strong person. ”

At this moment, three people came side by side on the street, followed by more than a dozen slaves, and walked towards Yanbei.

"Brother Yan! I didn't expect you to come, this is a long time waiting outside the humble house, right? Zhen Yao walked quickly in two steps and three steps, "It's Yao who is rude, this is General Yanbei, these two, this is Anping's leading scripture, and they studied under Anping Daxian." This is Anci Wangjun, Yuyang Dahao. ”

"I'm pulling the trick, I've seen Yan Jun."

The young man named Zhao looked at Yan Bei with curiosity, and the young man named Wang Song looked Yan Bei up and down with uncomfortable eyes, and then arched his hand and said: "General Yan has already learned that he is polite in Wang Song." ”

Yan Bei nodded lightly, smiled at Zhen Yao, and said, "Since San Lang has guests, then I will come back another day...... I and my subordinates temporarily camped outside the south gate, and San Lang could ask the second brother to go to me for a long time to drink, and then leave. ”

After Yan Bei said that, Gao Ran beckoned the soldiers to lead the horses to follow, and a light horse paced out towards the city gate.
