Chapter 224: Wei Jia, let’s make a bet

The news brought back by Lai Fu changed Tang Cheng's itinerary. After a long period of anxiety and finally saw a ray of light, Tang Cheng quickly rushed towards Suoyang Pass like a shark smelling blood.

Compared to the stable speed when he came, the carriage that was driving towards Suoyang Pass was running, and the carriage did not have any shock absorption at this time. After running on the rugged mountain road, it is conceivable how much bumpy it is. Sitting in the carriage, holding Tang Cheng's arm tightly, Zheng Lingyi felt that the bones in his body were shaken apart. When a stone was hit on the high-speed carriage and bounced up suddenly, Zheng Lingyi, who had never had such an experience, could no longer help but exclaim in surprise.

This bump made Tang Cheng's face turn pale. He had never fainted in his car in his later generations and now he felt his chest churning up. It would be impossible without shock absorption. Once this damn carriage runs faster, it is even more sturdy than riding a tractor.

Zheng Lingyi's screams made Tang Cheng unable to help it anymore. He stepped on the pedal in the carriage heavily, and the driver's "sigh" sound of horse control sounded. After the carriage gradually stopped, Tang Cheng held Zheng Lingyi's hand tightened, "The road conditions are too bad, I'll ride a horse first, you can take the carriage and follow slowly."

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he patted Zheng Lingyi comfortably on the shoulder. He thought he couldn't afford to waste time and got off the carriage and changed into Zheng Wu's healthy horse, and then took Lai Fu to the Sunshine.

If he had not had to take time to stop and rest along the way to accumulate horsepower, Lai Fu, seeing Tang Cheng's posture, wished he would have been rushing around for twelve hours a day. The great official tried his best. His close body was even more exhausted, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks, and the sky turns into the sky and August. The Longmen in early November is cold and cold. In this sprint of full force, the stirring north wind is like thousands of small knives, and Tang Cheng's black cloak is like a flag lifted up by the north wind.

His face had been numb by the wind, and his hair was neatly scattered under Jindeguan and he was floating in a messy manner on his forehead. His hands, holding the reins tightly, had already frozen, and his legs, which were clamping the horse's belly, were rigidly maintained in the same position as if they were screwed. Tang Chengdu could not feel all this. Although his face was eroded by the strong wind and cold, his eyes were terrible and stared at the road ahead. He had no other thoughts now except faster and faster.

The cold wind that came towards him was like a basin of ice water in the hot summer. While it cooled down his body, it also extinguished Tang Cheng's depression and anxiety that he had suppressed for many days, as well as the shame that he could not speak to others - the shame that forced Hu Lianghai to be the header on the day. Although he knew clearly that his actions on that day were the most realistic, what he was ashamed of was not even the means of forced use of Hu Lianghai, but the feeling of having to escape after being powerless.

Whether it was the feeling of powerlessness or the escape itself, he hated it, even if this escape itself had ten thousand reasons to excuse himself.

The more depressed and anxious he felt, the more intense the fire in his heart is now. Tang Cheng was struggling so hard in the cold, not just in a hurry, he was still competing with himself, and he had to return wherever he came from. Only in this way can he show off his breath that day. There was no way before. He had not found hope, so he could only hold it back. Now that he saw the light, even if it was just a slight ray of hope, Tang Cheng was not afraid to put in 100% effort.

Even if he suffers so much for this, he is willing to do so.

We must meet Jia Zixing before he reached an agreement with Niu Zude, and we must not let this glimmer of hope slip away in vain.

It took less than two days for the carriage in front of me to walk for five days, and finally Suoyang Pass arrived.

When Lai Fu climbed down from his horse with difficulty, his face was as pale as Tang Cheng, and his lips were covered with cracks, and he seemed to have almost no human form.

After the skin on the inner thigh was worn out, it felt so painful every step that dismounted. Laifu "traveled" in front of the sergeant on duty with a special crab step.

Not long after, he came back again, and he was thrust at the hard board with a bitter look on his face and said, "Jia Zixing is not here."

"Go on the horse", Tang Cheng's waist was already stiff and could not bend down, which made him look extremely upright in his sitting position now, "Go to Baiyang Town!".

When Lai Fu heard this, he was stunned and then reached out to grab Tang Cheng's reins, "As soon as he passed Suoyang Pass, he would leave Longmen County."

The Tang Dynasty was different from later generations. As a landlord, an official must not leave the jurisdiction without a specific time or the summoned by the Shangguan. Otherwise, it would be a serious mistake of dereliction of duty. Such mistakes are simply fatal for the examination of the Ministry of Personnel every three years. Lai Fu's obstacles were precisely because of this reason. It was obvious that Niu Zude was not interested in the high-ranking officials, so he really had to be cautious at this time.

Unexpectedly, Tang Cheng, who had always been calm in Lai Fu's eyes, was unmoved at all. He raised his hand and pushed away his hand with a horse whip and rushed forward first.

Jia Zixing is so important? After muttering, Lai Fu could only climb onto the horse and follow him with difficulty.

It’s really bitter to have such a master who is crazy and desperate!

After walking a hundred miles and a half ninety, this last section of the road really cost Lai Fu's life. He has never suffered such hardship since he was a child. It was after this journey that Lai Fu has gained a new understanding of Tang Cheng.

When it comes to enjoying happiness, this master is no worse than anyone else. Who would have thought that someone who would enjoy happiness like this would have such a cruel side to him!

He rushed to Baiyang Town before it was completely dark. When Tang Cheng heard the news that Lai Fu was inquiring about the news, he said that Jia Zixing was in the Guangbian Army camp, he finally relaxed after he had been tense in the cold wind for two days.

He lived in the best inn in the town. Tang Cheng, who was pale-faced, did not eat dinner, and even the two women who were waiting for the bath that Lai Fu found did not refuse.

After taking off his clothes and stepping into Lu Feng who was waist-high, Tang Cheng couldn't help but let out a painful moan when he soaked in the hot water. After the moan, the bones in his body were as if countless ants were crawling, and the pain was extremely comfortable. After this force passed, a strong sense of sleepiness in the warm water vapor rose uncontrollably from all over his body, rubbed and squeezed them with four white and tender hands. Tang Cheng, who was seriously overdrawn, fell asleep in the water.

His performance only disappointed the two bathing girls. In Baiyang Town, where soldiers are all over the ground, would it be easy to touch a good customer like Tang Cheng?

When he woke up the next morning, Tang Cheng forced himself to get up, washed up and rushed to the town center without any delay.

It was already dark yesterday, and the scene in the town was impossible to see at all. Looking left and right, the entire Baiyang Town was a large barracks. The rough town was almost all soldiers wearing old cotton jackets. On the northernmost ground of Hebei Road, the Guanzhong sound was actually used.

"Jia Zixing has no background. He is a general who has been in charge step by step. He has not been in the position of Zhechong Commander of Baiyang Town for six years, but he is really good at treating his soldiers, and the Guangbian Army also obeys him." Lai Fu led the way while whispering some basic situations of Jia Zixing.

Baiyang Town is not big, so I walked while talking. In a short while, I arrived at the Zhechong Duwei Mansion.

While Lai Fu was giving the name to the sect, Tang Cheng carefully looked at Jia Zixing's residence in front of him. To be honest, the courtyard house in front of him was not like the residence that a fifth-rank military general should have. Strictly speaking, it cannot be called a "house" at all. At best, it is only the housing level of a rich man in the countryside.

The fifth-rank military general, the leader of the first army, has been in Baiyang Town for six or seven years. Why did Jia Zixing still live in such a simple place? No money? Seeing his vicious attitude of looking for Niu Zude to pay dividends, it really doesn't look like it; or maybe he doesn't care about this at all?

Many things about a person can also be seen from many external things. When Tang Cheng was speculating, Lai Fu came back, and the one who came with him was a Cangfa veteran with one leg lame.

The lame veteran walked and turned to Tang Cheng, and looked him carefully from top to bottom without saying a word, and then came from feet to head. The expression on his face was very strange, with curiosity and unconcealed contempt.

From the movements to the expression on his face, his actions were really rude. Not to mention Tang Cheng, Lai Fu was so angry that he was just a cripple man who was so poor that he was so arrogant. He just wanted to be the second uncle, but since the high official didn't say anything, he could only endure it even if he was dissatisfied.

He rushed over as anxiously as a spark. After all, he was a county chief but was so despised by a disabled veteran. It was false to say that Tang Cheng was not annoyed. However, the more angry he was, the more he reminded him to calm himself down. The scene in front of him was too abnormal. This was too important. Before he could figure out why this old guy had such a behavior, Tang Cheng's current experience would not have been impulsive to argue with a disabled old man in the street.

The lame veteran looked at Tang Cheng with a rude look, and Tang Cheng didn't look at him any more after a glance. He thought about it, as if there was a cloud of air in front of him, and there was no such person at all. Seeing this, Lai Fu made a loud sound of ridicule intentionally or unintentionally. Old Chou is big, just by your head, you want to fight with my high-ranking official, look for shamelessness!

Anyway, Lai Fu heard the instructions from the moment just now clearly, and was afraid that this old lame man would not be able to make a mistake. Seeing that his face suddenly became ugly, Lai Fu felt relieved and deliberately let out two louder sneers.

"Looking for death", this old lame old man was very popular. After being laughed so hard that he turned around and grabbed Lai Fu's clothes on his chest. He was always very enthusiastic. Lai Fu was unprepared and was lifted by his one-handed feet off the ground.

Tang Cheng has not figured out what this old man is trying to get crazy. He has never had contact with Tian Chengjun before, so naturally he is even less likely to offend them. Where did this old man feel about his evil? Although he couldn't figure it out, Tang Cheng knew that as a disciple, if he had not received the master's instructions, this old man would never dare to be so arrogant. Even if he didn't, at least he knew that Jia Zixing must have had a disgust towards him, and the two must be one of them.

Since Tang Cheng rushed over in such a hurry, he must not be looking for something awkward. But everything in front of him was really surprising. When things got to this point, the original plan could only change according to the situation. In a sense, these eight people from the border towns of the Tang Dynasty were all bitches. The more polite you were when you were hard, the more he looked down on you.

After encountering this inexplicable situation, if you endure it, it will be meaningless. If you can't do it, it will be useless. If it really doesn't work, it will be useless. If it really doesn't work, it's just that living people can still be suffocated to death.

"What, is this the way of hospitality between Tian Chengjun and Jia Duwei?" Tang Cheng glanced at the lame door and smiled coldly, and spoke like a snake: "I was very moved to the guests who came from courtesy at his door. Tian Chengjun is indeed brave! Don't move, let him fight."

With this sentence, Lai Fu stopped his movements immediately, but he was unforgivable at all and said loudly: "If you can't beat me, you are a coward. If you kill me, you are even more coward! If you have the ability to fight with the Xi people, you are a arrogant person at your doorstep, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, Tian Chengjun has a brave ball."

After following Tang Cheng for a long time, the two of them had a tacit understanding. As soon as Lai Fu opened his mouth, he kept the word Tianchengjun tightly, and his voice was not loud. When he heard this, the soldiers on duty at the gate of the Duwei Mansion looked over. The old lame man's face turned red and purple. He couldn't beat him for a moment, and he was unwilling to let go. His whole head was so angry that he kept trembling, and he couldn't say anything.

"Old Mo. Let them come here." As the lieutenant on duty shouted at the door of the mansion, the old lame man gritted his teeth and let go, and said viciously: "The Duwei Mansion cannot be entered by just a few words of verbal performance."

"People will humiliate themselves. Then later people will humiliate them. If the Duwei Jia is as rude as you, no one is willing to enter the Duwei Mansion even if it is beaten and drums. Let's worry about him, it seems that we are not polite anymore, let's go." As he said, Tang Cheng had already taken the lead and left.

You are so arrogant, I will talk to you. After hearing this, Lai Fu shook his clothes that were wrinkled by the old lame man and slashed with big strides.

At the gate of the Duwei Mansion were eight full-body soldiers, four on the left and four on the right, corresponding to the neat rows. Judging from the rigorous posture of the soldiers on the access control, Jia Zixing was still somewhat skilled in leading the troops.

When Tang Cheng stepped on the last step, no one spoke or led him. The captain just stood coldly and raised his hand to point into the gate, signaling Tang Cheng to go in.

Just as Tang Cheng had just walked between the first pair of sergeants, he heard a "swish" sound. The standard single-hook spears in the hands of the four teams of eight sergeants were raised up, crossing them to form a spear formation. These Qiu Bas deliberately lowered the spears. The bright and swaying hook tip of the spear bent backwards was at most only one little finger above Tang Cheng's head.

In this era, whenever the master calls him, there is no reason why no one will lead him. The lieutenant's actions just now were really abnormal. Tang Chuang had long been thinking about it. Seeing that they were playing such a vulgar drama in later TV series, he couldn't help but sneer. With the courage of Jia Zixing, he didn't dare to put the Longmen County Magistrate appointed by the court in broad daylight. With this confidence, the arrangement in front of him that clearly wanted Tang Cheng to make a fool of himself not only did not scare him, but instead became a farce that made people laugh.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect that the extremely vulgar scenes in later historical dramas actually made me experience them personally.

"I learned this trick from the Hu people, right? I heard that they often use this for our imperial envoys. Tian Chengjun is really very interested in learning." Tang Cheng turned around in the spear formation and looked at the captain and said this, without waiting for him to answer, he turned around and continued to move forward.

In the end, he barely stopped under the last pair of single-hooked spears, and without looking at the captain with the same expression as his dead relatives, Gu Zi said loudly: "I won't see Jia Zixing again within half a stick of incense. When the family of Tiancheng Army moves to Longmen County in the future, don't blame the county for its poor care."

His sudden words suddenly said, and the captain and the eight sergeants changed their colors. Although he was not sure why Tang Cheng was so sure that Tian Cheng's army wanted to accompany the army would arrange for Longmen County, his words themselves really hit their weaknesses.

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he neither spoke nor walked forward, and stood under a single-hook spear a step outside the threshold of the main gate and waited peacefully.

Such a situation was far beyond the expectations of the lieutenant. His face first became suspicious, and then hesitated. After hesitating for a while, the guy finally couldn't help but run quickly through the side door on one side.

Poor Lai Fu has ever had such a formation? He did not watch TV series in later generations like Tang Cheng. He understood that any such thing was bluffing. If he really wanted to kill someone, he would just raise his knife and even make this flashy thing? When the spear formation suddenly lit up just now, Lai Fu felt his legs weak and he almost collapsed on the ground. Who is the mother who has grown up in the past?

Even after all, Lai Fu was following Tang Cheng into the spear formation, just like now, although his face was tightly tight, only he knew how strong the legs in his pants were shaking under his shirt. At this moment, he didn't even dare to look up at the spear tip in front of him, but just stared at Tang Cheng's back with his eyes facing straight. At this moment, Tang Cheng was not only his master, but also his spiritual support and support.

The waiting time was not long. When Tang Cheng saw a tall man wearing a chain mail coming with the captain just now, he turned his head left and right and looked at the sergeant on both sides and smiled: "You two are holding your hands tightly. Guard Jia's military order is just to scare me. If you miss it, this is a crime of killing the imperial court's official position to kill the nine clans."

"Come on," with Jia Zixing's instructions, the eight single-hook spears were instantly taken back, and then they heard the heavy and uncontrollable gasping sounds of the two soldiers on Tang Cheng's left and right.

"I'm so brave, no wonder I can do something to sell my boss and seek honor," Jia Zixing waved his hand, and eight sergeants immediately retreated to both sides. "I have experienced the situation of thousands of people shouting for killing in Chang'an City. This small spear formation is indeed not worth showing off for the magistrate of Tang County, haha."

This is a scar in Tang Cheng's heart. He was calm just now, and he finally couldn't help but change his face. "Guard Jia is so arrogant, he doesn't look like a general in command! But when someone was in Chang'an City, he didn't know what Jia Duwei did?" At this point, Tang Cheng stared at Jia Zixing and sneered: "The clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid. If you have made contributions to the court, what is the merits and demerits of someone? Jia Duwei, what qualifications do you have for comment?"

As the world's number one army, every move of the Wanqi land naturally attracted the attention of the army. Moreover, the noise of the Wanqi chasing Tang Cheng in the city that night was too much. As a middle-level general of the border army, Jia Zixing knew this. This was not surprising. This was also the root cause of Tang Cheng's rude and cold reception today. As a general leading the army, Jia Zixing felt a heartfelt disgust for Tang Cheng's actions in the Wanqi army that he heard of.

Jia Zixing was already disgusted with the insatiable civil servants in Guizhou, not to mention that Tang Cheng, who had a glorious record, came to the door on his own initiative. He dealt with him. How could he vent the nameless fire that arose because of Niu Zude?

But everything he knew was heard after all. The details of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army in Chang'an City were not clear, so Tang Cheng was so choked that he couldn't speak as soon as he said this. After pausing, he laughed and said, "What a tone! No wonder a small county magistrate dared to speak out and arrange for the relocation of my Ten Thousand Cavalry Army's family."

"It's not that he is very angry, but Master Jia has a brain but doesn't know how to use it." Tang Cheng laughed sarcastically: "There are eight thousand people in Tiancheng's army alone. Each person is calculated based on four families. This is not a large number! That's 32,000 people. Even if not all the families follow the army, there are 16,000 people in half. Master Jia thinks that in addition to Longmen, there are so many vacant land in Guizhou to resettle this six thousand people?"

Data is always the most convincing. At this point, the smile on Jia Zixing's face can no longer be maintained.

He didn't laugh, but Tang Cheng smiled brightly, "Of course, these sixteen thousand people can be placed in one place. It may not be impossible to disperse them in various places. It's just that I'm afraid it's not in line with the original intention of the soldiers. I ran away from more than two thousand miles to a completely unfamiliar place, and they were all from the elderly, weak, women and children. At least we can live together to take care of them. Jia Duwei, what I mean is human nature, right?"

"What a pity, if I remember correctly, the family members of the border army, as a military household in the palace, do not have to pay taxes. So many elderly, weak, women and children who do not pay taxes to the local area are coming to grab land, and they definitely want good land. Not to mention the reactions of the local people, Jia Duwei felt that if there was a local official willing to accept it? The local officials were uncomfortable, and how could the family members of the Guangbian army be able to live there again?"

At this point, Jia Zixing's face finally sank completely, "Mr. Tang is afraid that he has forgotten his identity. He has to cover up the sky with one hand, and you don't have the ability yet."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng's expression did not change at all. He suddenly turned into a topic that seemed to be incompatible. "Emperor Jia was not curious about the night when the Imperial Capital Palace changed. Why couldn't thousands of cavalrymen find me alone?" After pausing, he said in a deliberate slowdown voice: "The reason is very simple. He stayed in the current emperor's residence that night."
Chapter completed!
