Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 650: The great loyalty of the people

The architectural layout of this tea house is to attract more customers. The outer periphery is a detachable wooden wall. As long as it is not a windy and sandy day, the wooden wall will be demolished, and there are long strips between the outer columns. The wooden boards are connected, so a whole row of people can sit, and it is also convenient for people outside the teahouse to listen.

Originally, the wall panels would not be removed to keep warm in winter, but now it is indeed very bright.

When Ji Yuan came to the tea house, there was no room for him, and there was not enough room to stand. When he arrived at the tea house, he basically had to stand at the door, and there were no seats on the corridor next to it. The last two sitting on the bench happened to be sat on by the two sword-wielding scholars in front of Ji Yuan.

However, people's temperament and bearing are really useful sometimes. Ji Yuan stood at the door and looked around, but couldn't find a less crowded place. He originally thought of standing at the door and counting. As a result, Ji Yuan took a step forward and sat down on the two sword-wielding scholars on the board of the outer corridor. As soon as they sat down, they saw Ji Yuan one step away. When they saw Ji Yuan's appearance, they stood up together.

"Sir, please sit over here!"

One of the scholars extended his hand to invite him, and the other scholar also slightly cupped his hand. Of course, Ji Yuan had to be polite.

"You guys sit down, I'll do it standing."

When I said this, the mood in the teahouse was rising. People at several tables near the gentleman holding the fan were all shouting that Zu Yue was shameless.

The two scholars also turned to look over there, and saw that the fan-wielding scholar had not yet spoken again, and Dr. Tea was placing tea snacks and new tea on his table, which the tea guests had asked the teahouse to add.

"Sir, please don't say too much. Elderly people are superior. Come and sit down quickly!"

"Yes, yes, we young people can just stand."

Huh? You young people?

Ji Yuan glanced at his temples from the corner of his eye, and subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes. His temples were black, and there were no wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. In the eyes of these two young people, he was so young?

"Okay, thank you very much."

After Ji Yuan returned the gift, he took two steps forward and sat sideways, with his feet placed outside the tea house. The tea doctor over there also had excellent eyesight and hurriedly passed the message over.

"What kind of tea do you guys want over there?"

A scholar next to Ji Yuan said quickly.

"Spring before the rain for the three of us, it's on my account!"

"Okay~~"

Ji Yuan and others were sitting on the benches on the corridor outside. Dr. Tea was easy to serve. He went around and handed them teacups and poured tea for them one by one.

"My dear guests, please bear with me. There is really no table or stool to place the tea cup, so I can only hold it myself for the time being."

"Nothing, nothing, just go ahead!"

"Hey!"

Ji Yuan sat at the edge of the bench in this corridor. Although there was still room for one person to sit next to it, the other two scholars, who were obviously good friends, did not sit down, but stood nearby. Instead, this spot became a place for the three of them to put tea cups.

At this moment, the sound in the teahouse became more and more enthusiastic, and the people inside kept shouting.

"Sir, tell me about the war ahead!" "Yes, yes, tell me about it!"

"We are all waiting!"

The gentleman holding the fan seems to be a storyteller. He subconsciously likes to whet people's appetites. He will pick up the tea cup to moisten his mouth, and then open the paper fan with a "pop".

"These battles were really exciting. For a long time, no news came back. In fact, the troops rushing to support the imperial court still suffered losses, so they did not publicize them. In fact, some officials and juniors knew it. ."

"Ah?" "What!"

"The army rushing to rescue was still defeated?"

Everyone in the teahouse was shocked, and some people overflowed with tea from the teacups in their hands. However, looking at the calm and calm look of Mr. Fan holding the fan, he did not seem to be worried at all. Some smart people knew that there would be something more behind. Turn.

"Sir, don't be too pretentious, just tell me!"

"Yes, sir, we are very worried!"

The gentleman fanned his paper fan. There were so many people crowded inside, and it seemed warm.

"Okay, let me tell you about the changes in the war ahead: Half a year ago, the bandit troops of the Zuyue Kingdom broke into our Dazhen border pass, with two to three hundred thousand people. Almost everyone was a bandit. I heard that their Most of the soldiers thought that I was poor in Dazhen, but when they entered Qizhou, they found that the people in Dazhen were rich. They were just like bandits who saw the mountains of gold and silver. They burned, killed and looted along the way, committing countless crimes. In some places, entire villages were slaughtered and their property was looted. Women are bullied, even children and the elderly are not spared..."

"Bastard!" "These **** who got stabbed!"

"Ah... I'm so angry!"

Not to mention the people in the teahouse, even Ji Yuan frowned as he listened.

"The bandits' soldiers were stimulated by plunder and their morale was high. After the Qizhou border army was defeated, the local warriors inside the territory were unable to resist. Moreover, my country, Dazhen, has been peaceful and peaceful for the people for many years, and I have also been outstanding in education. Not to mention not picking up things on the road. But at least there are young bandits in the countryside. Apart from the border troops, there are not many soldiers in the cities in the state. The people of Qizhou have suffered a disaster, alas!"

On the one hand, the people in the teahouse were angry, and on the other hand, they also sighed together.

The gentleman shook his paper fan and shook his head.

"Then the news came back that the Holy Emperor had issued an order to fight against the Zuyue traitors, and the three groups of Wang Shi marched to Qizhou one after another to fight against the Zuyue traitors... But those thieves were despicable and were simply a group of bandits, without any sergeants. Pride, using all kinds of shameless tricks...In the end, the first army lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and the second army also suffered several setbacks..."

Ji Yuan looked away from the storyteller and looked at the people in the teahouse. Many people clenched their fists, and some held their swords tightly, feeling a sense of anger against the same enemy.

As for the storyteller's so-called "shameless thieves" that led to the defeat of the first two armies, this is obviously a glorification of King Dazhen's division. Soldiers are not tired of deceit. No matter how much they hate the Zuyue people, if they lose, they lose. .

"Damn it, these thieves!" "How could I, Master Dazhen, lose to such a bastard!"

The two scholars next to Ji Yuan were holding the sword, one hand holding the hilt tightly, even the knuckles turned white.

"Sir, please tell me what happened next. Judging from your demeanor at the moment, I, Master Wang, must not have completely failed, right?"

Someone inside asked this, and the storyteller smiled.

"That's natural. In fact, although each of the three armies of the imperial court is majestic and vigorous, the real highlight is the last one. The old general Meishe, the general who conquered the north, led the troops to Qilin Pass. The army led by General They are all capable men in the court and are good at fighting. There is also a tiger general that you don’t know, but he is the second son of Yin Gong, named Yin Zhong. The second son of Yin is really remarkable. He has achieved great success in the first battle!"

"Really?" "Ah? There are actually military generals in Mr. Yin's family?"

"Oh, Mr. Yin is a great scholar in this world, but the second young master is actually a martial artist?"

"There are indeed many outstanding people in Xiang Yin's family!"

The discussion started again in the teahouse. Even Ji Yuan, the elder, couldn't help but smile. Hu'er has really grown up after all.

The storyteller fell into his old habit now and started to whet his appetite again. Instead of directly talking about the war, he talked about Yin Zhong in an extended way.

"You don't know. Before the Second Young Master Yin set out, he was just a captain with a feather. He said, "You will not receive the generalship without merits and achievements." Otherwise, with the status of Prime Minister Yin, how could he not have it? General, but this time with his military exploits, Commander Mei directly appointed him as a general, and he truly deserves it..."

The storyteller picked up the cup of tea and moistened his throat. Seeing that everyone wanted to hear about Yin Zhong, he quickly continued.

"General Yin is the second son of Prime Minister Yin, and he is naturally a man of great knowledge. It is said that he was studied by the royal family when he was a child, and his grades were among the best. His martial arts skills are even more extraordinary. The weapons he uses are unique in the army, which are a pair of black double halberds. , His arms are unstoppable, his strategy is outstanding, and he is brave enough to defeat anyone else!"

The discussion in the teahouse seemed a bit noisy, but this was the time when the storyteller wanted to talk, so he grabbed the tree and slapped it on the table.

"Pa~"

The teahouse instantly became quiet.

"Let me talk about one of the most critical battles in Wang's army's march north. It was also the battle in which Yin Ergong became famous. He saw through the purpose of the bandit army and asked for orders to gallop through the starry night to the aid of Luqiao Pass. He led his surprise troops to cut off the bandit's food supply. Dao, he spread suspicions among the soldiers to scare away the thief reinforcements, and led more than a hundred fine cavalry to pretend that the thief army was defeated, deceiving the thief troops all the way into the camp, and even killed the thief general in the midst of thousands of troops..."

The storyteller became more and more excited as he spoke. He flapped a paper fan very fast, and everyone in the tea house was excited. Everyone was holding back their energy, and their fists were clenched tighter than before.

Ji Yuan picked up his tea cup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and sweet, and it seemed that tangerine peel was added to the tea. The storyteller described the battle with emotion, and Yin Zhong did a good job indeed. While Ji Yuan was happy for Yin Zhong, he also thought divergently that if the same tactics were used by Zu Yue's soldiers, it would probably be another despicable trick.

Ji Yuan listened for a while, not only listening to the storyteller's content on the frontline war, but also listening to people's words and feeling the emotions of the people here. Then he drank all the tea and stood up.

The country is strong and the people are united. Although Dazhen suffered a temporary setback, it is definitely not something Zuyue can contend with.

After a while, Dr. Tea came over carrying a teapot.

"Come on, distinguished guests, please bring some tea!"

The two scholars who listened intently quickly turned back to get their own tea cups. Just as they were about to say a few words to the distinguished gentleman just now, they found that there were only three tea cups on the corridor seat at the moment, and the head man The gentleman in white shirt wearing black jade has disappeared, but there are still two cents beside the tea cup.

"Uh, brother, where is that gentleman just now?"

One of the scholars asked a middle-aged man standing by the gallery. The man was listening to the sounds in the teahouse. He glanced casually and said directly: "I don't know, I don't know, I haven't seen him." ”

Looking at the other people next to them, their expressions were all attracted by the sounds in the teahouse. The two scholars looked at each other and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​seeking fate. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"Hey, the demeanor between that gentleman's brows is definitely not ordinary. He must be a well-educated man. It's a pity that we couldn't chat more!"

The scholar who was treating the guests sighed and could only keep the two cents.

"Brother Deng, people are recruiting for military service everywhere. I heard that after the war in Qizhou is quelled, my Dazhenwang division may continue to go north to quell the rebellion in Zuyue and open up the world. I want to serve the country by joining the army, even if You can’t be a counselor, but you can be a secretary in the army. What do you think, brother?”

"Brother Qi said it well, just like Mr. Yin, I, a scholar, can hold a pen in front of a case and hold a sword on the saddle..."

The other scholar also cheered up, and after excitedly echoing a few words, he was about to say what he wanted to say, but his thoughts flashed, and he hesitated for a while, and finally he could only say.

"Brother Qi is so ambitious!"

The scholar surnamed Qi looked at his friend's slightly frowning expression, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Brother Deng, you have parents, wife and children, how can you just walk away? Everyone has their own circumstances, we will meet again someday! I have heard everything that needs to be heard, I will go first, and the waiter will pay the bill ."

"Come on!"

Dr. Tea came over, took one look at the tea cup and quoted the price of twelve cents.

The scholar surnamed Qi took out two coins from his purse as five-talent treasures, and was about to give them out together with Ji Yuan’s two pennies. For some reason, he felt that the two pennies were shining brightly, so he hesitated and took them out of his purse. Exchanged two texts.

After paying the money, the scholar surnamed Qi handed over to his friend and strode away directly. The scholar surnamed Deng behind him just looked at his back and wanted to chase after him several times, but finally clapped his legs and sat down.
