Chapter 328: Unfathomable (Part II)
No matter how much unhappiness there is in the heart, the number of courtesies that should be there cannot be exhausted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After a little sigh, Liu Yingji quickly got up from his seat and shouted to Zhong Yu, who had already walked out of the hall: "Lord Zhong, go slowly, let the official give you another ride." As he spoke, he lifted his robe and hurried two steps.
Hearing this greeting, Zhong Yucai stopped, the smile returned to his face, and he turned around and arched his hand at Liu Yingji, who had already come over, and said, "In this way, there will be Lord Laofutai." ”
Seeing that the governor of his own house rushed out to see off the Qincha, the banquet soldiers outside the hall who were already a little unkind looked at him picked up their wine glasses again, picked up their chopsticks, and did not stand up to embarrass Zhong Yu and them.
Liu Yingji glanced at the guys who were about to move just now, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Zhong, please!" ”
Accompanied by him and several local officials who were driven out later, Zhong Yu and Yang Zhen, as well as other Qincha guards who participated in the banquet, left the governor's yamen again. At this time, a very magnificent carriage was prepared there, but it was a special car for the governor's yamen. Liu Yingji once again bowed his hand to Zhong Yuyi: "Let Benfu's carriage send the two adults to Huayan Temple, and I hope the two of you don't think it's shabby." ”
Whether it is the appearance and decoration of this carriage, or the horse that pulls it, you can know at a glance that it is not an ordinary product, and naturally no one will dislike it for being simple. Although Zhong Yu had a better car than it, he naturally wouldn't be so ignorant at this time, so after thanking him, he and Yang Zhen walked towards the carriage.
When he walked to the front of the car and was about to board the car, he suddenly thought of something, turned back to Governor Liu and said, "Lord Futai, this official still has something to ask for." ”
"Lord Zhong, please say, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
"This time, the official brought more than 2,500 Qincha guards to Datong. But this time I want to stay in Huayan Temple, after all, it is inconvenient to bring so many people in the holy land of Buddhism. Therefore, I would like to ask Lord Futai to place these horses on my behalf. ”
Liu Yingji, Yang Zhen and the others next to them were all stunned when they heard this, and then Governor Liu smiled again: "Since it is the intention of Lord Qincha, this Fu should arrange it himself." Anyway, the vacated Qincha Xingyuan is empty, let them live over there, I don't know what Lord Zhong thinks? ”
"Everything depends on the arrangement of Lord Futai. So, thank you very much, and take your leave! With that, Zhong Yu didn't delay any longer, and Yang Zhen and Yang Zhen got into the carriage one after another, and were escorted by two or three hundred guards who mixed the military camp and the brocade guards and left slowly.
It wasn't until they turned the street corner in front of them, and it was impossible to come back, that one of the generals snorted very unhappily: "This Lord Qincha is really a big temper and a fight. Not long after this reception banquet began, he actually left like this, obviously not giving us face. ”
"He is a Qincha, representing the Son of Heaven, so why do you give us these Qiu Ba faces?" Another general also said in a weird way.
"Enough!" Guo Rong saw that Liu Yingji's expression was not too good-looking, so he turned his head and glared at these subordinates, stopped them from continuing to talk, and then said in a low voice: "My lord, what do you think of today's events?" ”
"This Zhong Yu is deliberately keeping a distance from us!" After pondering for a long time, Liu Yingji stroked his beard and said, "It seems that he is not good at coming this time." ”
"So how do we deal with that?" When Guo Rong heard this, his expression became solemn.
Liu Yingji then smiled lightly: "But you don't have to worry too much, things haven't reached a bad stage yet." Maybe this Lord Zhong is just making a show, for the sake of it......" He didn't finish his words, but just showed an expression that you understand.
Guo Rong naturally understood, nodded and said: "Actually, this is also the proper meaning of the question, we have done these things before." But if this is the case, this Chincha-sama must have a great appetite. ”
Liu Yingji's face was a little gloomy, and at the same time he looked a little helpless: "There is no way to do this." The appetite for those who came here in the past was not big, but after all, didn't we have anything wrong at that time? Now it's different, that mutiny made us very passive, even if we had a little more blood. ”
"When the two adults say this, the lower officials don't know anything." At this time, Shen Nian, the prefect of Datong, also came over and said, "Why didn't he mention anything about the mutiny during today's banquet?" According to reason, he just can't say it clearly, and he should have hinted at it. ”
"It's called static braking. Because he knows very well that we are more concerned about this matter than he is, so he only needs to wait for us to mention it, and then he can sit on the ground and raise the price! Guo Rong guessed.
"Maybe. If he really had that purpose, it would have been easy to do. The only thing to worry about is that he actually went to Huayan Temple without going to Qin, which is a bit of a problem. After pondering for a while, Liu Yingji said: "But no matter what, it will not be wrong to send someone to probe the wind first." Look at who is closest to him, and that Yang Qianhu, we can also deliberately woo him, young people, they are always easier to talk. ”
"The lower official understands, I will send someone to handle this matter tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Shen Nian hurriedly nodded in response, obviously he was familiar with this kind of trick.
After this matter was settled, Guo Rongcai looked at Liu Yingji with some doubts: "My lord, why do you think he is so generous and handed over the only little security at hand?" This question had obviously bothered him for a while, and it was unthinkable for a general to take such initiative to hand over military power.
"You've been with me for so many years, and you're still brainless. Do you think he is the same as you, this is exactly where Zhong Yu is clever......" Liu Yingji said.
"My lord, why did you hand over more than 2,000 Qin Guards, then your safety is not much guaranteed." In the driving carriage, Yang Zhen also looked at Zhong Yu a little strangely and asked.
Zhong Yu was resting against the carriage with his eyes half-closed at this time, and when he heard Yang Zhen's inquiry, he opened his eyes: "Yang Qianhu, do you think that more than 2,000 people can ensure our safety?" ”
Hearing the other party's rhetorical question, Yang Zhen was obviously stunned. Seeing his doubts, Zhong Yu heaved again: "On the way here, two thousand guards can indeed protect me, otherwise it may not be easy to pass the pass in Xinxian County." But when it comes to Datong, compared with 100,000 soldiers, these two thousand men and horses are not worth mentioning at all. If they really have the intention of dealing with us, the result will be the same with or without these two thousand centaurs. ”
Yang Zhen thought about it carefully, and it was really like this. It seems that his thinking is still too stylized, only thinking about how many people are guaranteed, but ignoring the comparison of the strength of the two sides.
Seeing Yang Zhen nodding in understanding, Zhong Yu also showed a hint of a smile: "Moreover, when I do this, I entrust my own safety to Liu Yingji and them." If something like Xin County happens again, I'm afraid that he, Liu Yingji, will not be able to escape the charge of negligence. So for their own sake, they had to do everything they could to keep us safe, which was much more effective than just our 2,000 guards. ”
"The adults really see much farther and deeper than me, and the officials admire it." Yang Zhen praised sincerely.
"These are just tricks in officialdom to retreat into advance, and to put it bluntly, it's nothing." Zhong Yu smiled disappreciatively and said, "But there is also a problem with this, that is, the only people we can use are the two hundred people around us." So if you want to find out the truth of the mutiny, it is impossible to investigate it openly like in the capital, and you have to use the means of secret visits, Yang Qianhu, do you understand what I mean? ”
"Xia Guan understands. It's up to me to do this, anyway, we Jinyiwei have always been used to inquiring about news, and this kind of thing is exactly what we are familiar with. Yang Zhen hurriedly recommended himself.
"Even if Yang Qianhu doesn't express this attitude, I will let you check it too. My goal is too obvious, but I can't do it. As he spoke, his expression became serious again: "The water in Datong is extremely deep, so you should be careful when you act." Whether it is Governor Liu or General Guo, they all look very rude, I have been extremely rude before, they can still be polite for a few weeks, and there is no arrogance of the arrogant generals and feudal officials, and this alone can see how big their plan is. ”
Yang Zhen thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Zhong Yu said was very true, and he didn't feel that he was right: "Xia Guan understands!" ”
"But you don't have to worry too much, at least they won't do anything to us right now. And maybe soon, you'll be able to reap the benefits. Zhong Yu said with a meaningful smile. Of course, Yang Zhen understood the meaning, and also laughed with him.
After the heavy topic ended, Yang Zhen thought of something again: "My lord, you were really a lot at the table just now, I was worried that you would be drunk by them." ”
"Haha......" Zhong Yu also remembered the surprised expressions of those Datong officials just now after seeing that he had even made five bowls of spirits, and he couldn't help but laugh: "That's because they don't understand me, otherwise they wouldn't want to embarrass me at the wine table." At the Qionglin banquet that day, some fellow scholars fought with me, but they all lay down, but I was not drunk at all. So since then, no one has dared to think of pouring me into a feast. ”
"And this?" Yang Zhenqi said: "Is the amount of alcohol really so deep in adults? ”
"It's not just deep, it's unfathomable. It's me, and I don't know how I can get drunk. This is how the ego is, no matter how much you drink, no matter how strong the alcohol you drink, you will not get drunk. Zhong Yu was a little complacent.
"I see." Yang Zhen knew that this kind of strange person had also been mentioned in some curious news in later generations, and he was not drunk for a thousand cups, because a certain enzyme in their body that decomposes alcohol was particularly vigorous, and obviously the Zhong Yushi in front of him was also average.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the car: "Two adults, Huayan Temple has arrived." ”
