Chapter 648: Skirmish at the City Gate
Yuan Shuji was one of the five kings in the future "Shenlong Coup", and to be honest, Cui Geng did not want to be an enemy of him.
However, at the moment when he returned to his heart like an arrow, this guy made it clear that he wanted to stir up trouble, so if he didn't give face, he wouldn't give it!
His face sank slightly, and he said, "This general, who are you?" ”
The leader of the cavalry raised his neck and said loudly: "I am General Zuo Yu Lin Wei, Li Zhan is also!" ”
"Li Zhan? Ling Zun is the late Lord Li of the Yi Mansion? ”
"Yes, exactly!"
"It turns out that after being the prime minister, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful!" Cui Geng said angrily: "It's just ...... Zuo Yulin guards the Imperial City, you listen to Yuan Xiangye's words like this, does Your Majesty know? ”
"I ......"
The military power of the left and right Yulin Army is too sensitive, and theoretically speaking, it should only be dispatched by Wu Zetian. Li Zhan didn't have the wisdom of his father Li Yifu, so he was immediately stunned by Cui Geng.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Yuan Xiang just asked Cui Dizhi to talk about it in detail, and there is no malicious intent. As for General Ben, he just passed on a word on his behalf. ”
"Oh? Is it? Cui Geng-for-tat and said: "That official just doesn't want to talk to Yuan Xiang in detail, and he has no malicious intentions, and he also asks General Li to convey it on his behalf." ”
As he spoke, he whipped his whip and said, "General Li, please!" ”
Li Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Although General Ben is just passing on the word, he is also letting out my old face." Cui Dizhi said this, it is too bad to give General Ben face...... What if I don't let it? ”
Cui Geng spread his hands and said indifferently: "It's just a fight!" Joke, this official, the dethroned envoy of Jiannan Province, is personally sealed by His Majesty, and he is ordered to patrol Jiannan Road. Do you still have to listen to his Yuan Shuji's orders? Do you still want to see the look of your General Li? ”
After a pause, he said in a cold voice: "General Li, are you sure you want to wade into this muddy water?" ”
"This ......"
Li Zhan didn't want to mess up Yuan Shuji's errand and didn't want to make it too big to end, so he couldn't help but hesitate!
But Feng Changqing didn't care about that, he yelled, and said: "If you want to fight, you will fight, if you want to make peace, mother-in-law, surnamed Li, do you look like a man?" ”
Cui Geng is famous all over the world, and Li Zhan is blocked back by him, and he can still accept it. However, Feng Changqing, a six-grade Zhenwei lieutenant, also lost his face in public, and Li Zhan's face couldn't be hung up. He said angrily: "If you fight, do you still want to fight?" Boys! ”
"Yes!"
Li Zhan raised his right hand high and said, "Give General Ben ......"
"Protect Lord Cui!"
Seeing that, as soon as Li Zhan's right hand fell, the two sides were about to fight. But at this moment, a coquettish cry suddenly came from the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, the bell rang, and a group of cavalry galloped out.
The total number of cavalry in this group was about 300 people, all of them women, all of them wearing helmets and armor, burqas and belts, and holding a large embroidered sword, majestic and murderous.
The woman at the head was stunning, and with a gesture, half of the men and horses were in front of Cui Geng's, and the other half had already surrounded the forty or fifty cavalry Yulin legions on Li Zhan's side.
She sneered and said, "General Li, are you sure...... Do you want to embarrass my family Cui-sama? That's great! ”
Li Zhan not only knew where these 300 female soldiers came from, but also knew that his gang of subordinates, even if they were equal in number, were not necessarily opponents of others. He also knows that now these female soldiers are forcibly pressing an evil fire, and there is nowhere to vent! If you really fight, you will suffer this loss in front of you.
Immediately, he couldn't care about face, laughed dryly, and changed his words: "Since Cui Dizhi is not happy, General Ben will not force it." Soldiers, to General Ben...... Back to camp! ”
"Whoa!"
The forty or fifty royal forest soldiers under him also knew that it was powerful, and they responded with a bang, and the rear team became the front team, and they slipped away.
"This ...... That's it? ”
"Forced away by a group of women's soldiers, the Yulin army is too peeless, right?"
"What General Yu Linwei, which Prime Minister Yuan, it seems that Cui Dizhi is still powerful!"
……
The people who watched the excitement not far away couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw that they couldn't get up, and said cool things.
Li Zhan heard it in his ears and was annoyed in his heart, and when he arrived in the city, he turned his horse's head and went straight to Yuan Shuji's mansion.
Here, the three hundred female soldiers jumped off their horses and saluted, "See Lord Cui!" ”
Of course, Cui Geng recognized that these female soldiers were his subordinates in the right control of the crane prison, nodded and said, "Excuse me, get up." Belch...... How did you guys get here? With such a formation, it's probably not appropriate to swagger through the market in the capital, right? ”
The leader of these female soldiers is naturally Mo Xiaoxing, who was inserted by Cui Geng into the right control crane prison.
As soon as she heard this, her eyes turned red, so she didn't cry, and said aggrievedly: "Swaggering through the market? If we don't show off the market again, I'm afraid no one will remember us. ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
"You don't know yet? Before his death, Old Minister Di had forbidden His Majesty to abolish the Crane Prison, and His Majesty agreed. The left control crane supervisors were all men, and the imperial court had arrangements to transfer them to other yamen. Only we, the sisters, have become lonely ghosts, and no one cares about them. Please also ask Master Cui to call the shots for us! ”
Of course, Cui Geng knew about the dismissal of the Crane Supervisor, but he didn't know much about what happened to the three hundred female soldiers.
Now that I think about it, it's normal. According to the normal logic of officialdom, except for the harem, there is no place for women to serve, and the officials are really difficult to cook without rice.
He muttered, "Then where do you live now?" ”
"It's still in the original right-controlled crane prison yamen, but the court didn't drive us away."
"That's good, you go back to the yamen first. As for your way out, this official will definitely give you an explanation. ”
All the female soldiers were overjoyed, bowed together, and said, "Thank you, Lord Cui!" ”
They happily went back to wait for news, but Cui Geng was secretly worried while walking towards the city.
In all fairness, in this era, the best destination for these female soldiers is to marry a wishful man. The problem now is that they first worked as errands in the palace, and then served in the right control crane prison. Well-informed and wide-sighted, ordinary men can't look down on it. However, the so-called children of the family, because of the family, it is impossible to marry them as regular wives.
These female soldiers are not high or low, so they rely on the control of the crane prison and do not leave, how to find a way out for them? One or two are okay to say, but three hundred or so ...... It's just incomprehensible!
"Welcome home!"
Cracking sound~~
Before he knew it, Cui Geng had arrived at the front of the house. The sound of firecrackers, Mao Bo trembled, Jiu'er was in good spirits, and greeted him with the Cui family's maids and servants.
Cui Geng hurriedly dismounted, hugged each other with his hands, and said, "Uncle Mao, you are so old, you will be very polite in the future." ”
The corners of Mao Bo's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, and he said: "Erlang, don't look down on people, the old slave is tough." When I think of our Cui family, Erlang, you are high~ The official has to sit, and the little master is smart and clever, I am happy in my heart. This joy is ...... bones in this body."
"Old man, just say a few words." Xiao Jiu'er interrupted: "Erlang hasn't seen the little young master yet, what's the matter with just talking to you here?" ”
Mao Bo patted his head and said, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, the old slave is really confused." Erlang hurry up and go inside, the ladies and the little master are probably waiting anxiously. ”
Cui Geng walked in at this time, and as soon as he arrived at the second gate, he saw Lu Ruolan, Radamizhu, Erniang, sister-in-law, Wang Meifang, Cui Xiufang, Qin Yuer and others had been waiting for a long time.
The two sides have finished seeing each other, and naturally there is a burst of cold and warmth. However, after a while, people's focus shifted from Cui Geng to the little guy.
This little guy is already two years old, and he was still timid when he saw Cui Geng at first, but he soon became active, and he said a crisp "Daddy" exit, which made Cui Geng's heart seem to melt, and he felt that everything he struggled for had meaning.
To put it simply, for a whole day, Cui Geng was tired of being with his family. It wasn't until early the next morning, after getting Wu Zetian's will, that Cui Geng entered the palace with vigor.
But before he arrived at Tongtian Palace, a tall figure in a deep scarlet robe blocked his way and said, "Cui Dizhi, I want to see you, it's really rare." It's better to meet by chance, or let's talk a few words? ”
