Chapter 40 Against General Wuwei
In the sixth year of Xianqing (661 AD), the eighth day of the first lunar month in spring, at 6 o'clock.
Luoyang Fushanfang, brothel Yanbin Tower, and the second floor luxurious private room, confrontation. Zhao Sheng, the left team of Wuying, was in a position of escort, guarding on the left side of the boss, confronting all the divisions with one sword. More than a dozen divisions, seven or eight guards, and the blades were unsheathed.
In front of the army, a middle-aged man stood with an extremely burly figure. Wu Kang knew him, his surname was Zheng, his name was Guang, and his courtesy name was Rentai, and he was from Kaifeng County, Bianzhou. He was 58 years old this year, and his meritorious service was named the Duke of Tong'an County, and his official position was appointed as the General of the Right Wugu.
In his early years, he joined Li Shimin and was a staff member of the Qin Palace. He was a direct confidant. He participated in the war in the early Tang Dynasty and pacified the war between Liu Wuzhou, Song King Shichong, and Dou Jiande. In the Xuanwu Gate coup, he was a vanguard and quite old. He followed Li Ji and Niu Jinda and attacked Goguryeo twice, which was a brilliant military achievement.
However, in the Qin Palace, he had a low birth status, so he was not exposed to the mountains and rivers during Zhenguan. Although he had been through the battlefield for a long time, he was a deputy general and never stood alone. When Li Jiu came to power, he became a general with his military qualifications.
Wu Kang was also from Kaifeng County in his previous life, and he was a fellow villager. Therefore, he had some good feelings and took the initiative to stand up and greet him, and decided to be polite and then soldiers. He lowered his attitude first and calmed down his affairs. After all, he was a general and he could not make trouble.
Zheng Rentai had a step down and returned the favor with kindness, and said seriously: "I am talking and joking about it. If your family is destroyed, what can I do? If you say something unpleasant, only the saints can control our life, death, misfortunes and blessings."
After telling the truth, he turned around and trained the group: "The wine bags, put away the knife and waited outside the door. They were blind. Do you know who he is? Gong Wu of Jinhua County, the subordinate of Empress Wu, and the general of Zuo Qianniu Mansion, are on an equal footing with me."
The program was very effective, the plot retreated in panic, and the guards were urinating. The madam regretted her intestines, and at this moment, she finally believed that he dared to demolish Yan Binlou, not aimlessly. She had to take a look at her with courage and couldn't help but be stunned. Why is the Narcissus here and still not using her makeup?
Soon the crowd retreated, and in the empty private room, only the old madam Zheng was left. Li Chunfeng stood up and greeted some nonsense. Lao Zheng ordered the madam: "Lan Niang went and prepare quickly, please help Deng Juju to accompany him and get the bamboo leaf wine. I am happy today and want to have a few drinks with my brother who changed."
The weather was calm for the time being, Li Chunfeng moved his seat and sat in the main seat in the north. Wu Kang looked kind and said to Zhao Sheng to guard the gate and greet the guests. Zheng Rentai was not polite, and sat opposite him with a big golden sword.
He recognized the young man with a yellow face, and his eagle eyes flashed with cruelty. Although his expression changed quickly, he was all seen. Wu Kang didn't care. Among the sixteen guards in the South Ya, the status of the two Wu Guards was higher than that of the Two Thousand Niu Mansions. But in fact, the rest of the Nan Ya guards would not offend Qian Niu Mansions if it were not forbidden.
The Qianniu Mansions are not led by Zhechong Mansions, but are just bodyguards. To be more common, the guards with swords in front of the emperor, and the people around the emperor are also supervising the guards and reporting to the emperor directly. If they say bad things, the saints will gradually alienate you. Who can withstand this?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Sheng got permission and opened the door and let people in. Lan Niang brought the beauty and bowed in a coquettish voice: "Two generals, this is my family's recommendation. She and the Narcissus Brother are the pillars of Yan Bin. General Wu is a VIP, and he serves with all his heart. Nu Nu will leave first."
Deng raised his bow and raised his skirt and came up with a beautiful woman. Wu Kang secretly thought that his appearance and temperament were two inferior to that of the lady in Su. When he was about to enter the table, the lady in Su said warmly: "The wine in the cup is still warm, so the man can drink it in time."
The voice is gentle and beautiful, and Wu Kang rolls his eyes lightly. This is also a scheming woman. But I give you face, raise my glass to invite the VIP, Li Chunfeng joins, and Zheng Rentai is perfunctory. He raises his face without changing his expression, and walks to the opposite of Hu's table and sits on Rentai's right head.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Rentai's intention failed, and Wu Kang sneered. He wanted to accompany me, Su Nu went to accompany him, but he was not happy. At the same time, he also understood that the Su-woman beside him was the Narcissus and the number one prostitute in Luoyang City.
The old pervert Zheng Rentai coveted the young man for a long time, but it seems that he has not succeeded yet. The wine glass is filled again, and Wu Kang teased Lao Li: "General Zheng and I have a beauty, so you can also invite someone to avoid being empty and lonely. You can choose whatever you want, and the younger generation will be the host."
The local tyranny was full of aura, and Lao Li refused to say anything, so he turned his head and ignored him. Rentai put down his wine glass, looked at Wu Kang and said, "This is a bad thing. The top cards of the brothel are all using poetry to explore flowers. When we go out to visit prostitutes, we must abide by the rules. If we force each other with power, we will be sneered by the gentry."
This is to criticize me, accusing me of using power to force the young man to submit. I guess in his eyes, the young man Suyi was resisting silently. Nai Weng was wronged and did not use his power to suppress others. She took the initiative to serve him. She laughed decisively without saying anything, and did not talk much, waiting for his next words.
The smiling tiger Zheng Rentai suddenly said earnestly: "Young brother of change, it's not me who said you, you must not put down the book when fighting on the battlefield. You are brave enough to be the three armies and charge in the battle. Brother Yu admires you very much. But your poems are really unbearable, especially Daming Lake..."
After the poem was recited, the program was very effective. He raised his head and said nothing, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he was holding back his smile. The Narcissus had a weird expression and probably laughed at the poem that was bullshit. Ren Tai achieved his goal, pretended to be regretful and gloat his smile.
Damn old fox, deliberately shaking my embarrassment, making the boy hate me? But it doesn't matter. I have no inappropriate thoughts about the daffodil. Whether she hates me has nothing to do with me, and the tricks are useless. Thinking of this, I don't talk to you and drink leisurely.
The banquet began to be embarrassed, and Lao Li was unwilling to be lonely, so he tried to defend himself: "I heard from the queen that it was a joke. He changed into an official in Wuzhou. Before he got married, he made his wife angry. So he wrote down Daming Lake to amuse the wife of Chu, and he couldn't count it."
This is a god's help. Wu Kang wanted to like it. It was originally a bad poem, but it was given tenderness. Looking at Deng Juju again, he raised his head, his contempt disappeared, and his feelings became more. As for the young man Narcissus, his pretty face returned to its naturalness, and the corners of his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised.
Wu Kang put down his wine glass and hung a formulaic smile, and seemed to be indifferent. Zheng Rentai was frustrated, what are our identities? General Sixteen Guards, in my previous life, was an army general. Because of the famous brothels and the generals were jealous, you were shameless, but I felt embarrassed.
Rentai smiled stiffly, and Lao Li took advantage of the victory to pursue: "In the change of the Western Expedition of Helu, the soldiers pursued the snowy night, and he wrote a poem to ask General Zheng to appreciate it. The moon-black geese flew high, and the Shanyu fled at night, trying to chase the light cavalry, and the bow and knife were covered with heavy snow."
It was another god-assisted. Old Li was so cute. He really wanted to hire a beautiful prostitute to serve him well. Rentai was unbelievable, and he felt even more affection. The Narcissus commented softly: "The heavy snow covered the bow and knife, the hardship of the battle, and the courage of the soldiers, are all there. The husband and wife are both gentle and convinced."
I scratched my head awkwardly. In fact, this poem was copied by someone else. Zheng Rentai laughed and raised his glass and drank it all, and his anger passed away in an instant. Wu Kang was keenly aware that poor old man was fucking, you are petty. As a general, there is still a reason why he can't stand alone.
Rentai put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "My brother Yunwen Yunwu is too careless. But there is another thing. The guards gossiped about you and say you are very afraid of your inner self. There is no concubine at home, and you don't have an outer room because you are afraid of your wife. Don't worry, brother, I will deal with them."
Wu Kang stood up to toast, poor old man flew, Nai Weng was grateful for your heart. The two clinked glasses and drank, Ren Tai continued to bury: "The yin and yang in the family are strong and weak, and it is never a good thing. Without the masculinity, how can you command the three armies?"
My brother taught me that Wu Kang said he was taught and endured the laughter in his throat. His remarks expressed two meanings. First of all, I am a strict wife and I am not masculine. The Narcissus and I will be cowardly. Secondly, it is also hinting that Xiaoqing is a jealous woman and her concubines are not allowed at home.
Combined with the two levels, I warned the Narcissus that he is not a good match, so give up quickly. But unfortunately, this is a god's help, which will backfire. Naiweng's fear is that men will look down on him, but women will like him.
In their opinion, a man who is afraid is a man of a heart. He is easy to ask for a priceless treasure, but he is rare to have a heart. Yu Xuanji's voice applies to all wives. Looking at the performance, the guy is full of affection, so how can he be contemptuous?
He was short of interest and was shaking his temples, wanting to settle the bill and flick the person. It was a miracle that he was appointed as a general. Taizong and Li Jiu did not give him important tasks and were very wise and powerful. With his IQ, if he obeyed orders, he would be a powerful general on the battlefield; if he led the army alone, he would be stubborn and exhausted the three armies.
The young man stood up slowly and gently scratched Wu Kang's temples. He raised his red lips and pursed his red lips, and said in a coquettish voice: "The scarf of the husband is woven by Zhuge, and Nunu's uncle also has itchy temples. If you change it to a bamboo towel, the effect will be immediate. You may as well give it a try."
Wu Kang smiled and nodded, but was complaining in his heart that the two little fairies were adding fuel to the fire. Rentai was even more jealous, and Chunfeng finished the attack again: "The general doesn't know what he wants, but to change it, but to focus on love and righteousness. When he first started to ask for the killing, the wife bravely broke into a hundred sticks and risked her life to hand it to the people's letter."
The banquet was silent again, and the city was filled with wind and rain, and everyone heard it. Chunfeng strodes his beard and continued to finish the fight: "All people are all present, the saint is moved, and thoroughly investigates the case of the holy robe. The survival of the change of death depends entirely on the rescue of the wife. How can we not be moved? Fang Xuanling is afraid of the inner world, and all officials respect it, and the inner world is afraid of the change of the inner world, and the guards are the same."
With a naked slap in the face, Zheng Rentai was very embarrassed. He suddenly stood up and raised his glass to say, "If you listen to both sides, you will be clear; if you believe in both sides, you will be secret; if you hearsay, it is not enough to make a case. Brother Yu was very ashamed and punished himself for three glasses of wine, expressing his apology."
Wu Kang responded calmly and said with confidence: "Brother, don't blame yourself. You are thinking about me, how can I not know? You can't punish Brother Jiu. Look at this, let's drink three cups in total. I'll give you three more cups, thank you for your care."
Give him enough face, Li Chunfeng accompanied him, let's go down the donkey. After drinking three glasses of wine, Wu Kang drank three glasses alone, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. After each of them, the young man poured wine again, only half a cup. He felt helpless, and his wife's heart was inspiring, and it seemed that she had overheard.
Wu Kang felt a little headache and began to boast about Lao Zheng: "General Zheng's reputation is well-known to him. He served the three wise rulers, fighting in the east, fighting in the south, and fighting in the north. He made great contributions and promoted the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. He is a role model for us. When you were in power, I was not born yet, and I was very ashamed."
Ren Tai laughed heroically, and was scratched to the point of itch. He waved his hand and said modestly: "It's all old things, don't mention it again. The ancients have poems that the Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, and the floating things change the old ones. My brother is only 28 years old, the Duke of Jinhua County, the General of Zuo Qianniu Mansion, is our role model."
The business started to blow each other, and the cups were constantly changing, and the atmosphere began to be harmonious. He was attentive to serve him, but he was jealous in his eyes and looked at Wu Kang from time to time. Before he was thirty years old, he was the third-rank general and the cousin of the queen, and his future was limitless. No wonder he was so charming that he ignored General Zheng.
Rentai continued to praise: "Last year, Xuzhou performed martial arts, and the saints gave him a prize, and his brother set up the stage. He defeated twelve warriors in a row, defeated eight generals, and finally succeeded in defending the game. General Liu Boying, General Pang De'an, and General Xue Rengui are all powerful generals in the army, and they are all defeated generals under his command."
Wu Kang quickly modestly: "It was his colleagues who gave in and did not take action seriously, otherwise I would have been defeated. General Zheng also knew that the final battle against Xue Rengui was just a draw. The iron halberd in his hand made me suffer. If the saint had not called the stop, I would have been defeated."
Zheng Rentai said with disdain, "After the wheel battle, the change has become weak, and he takes advantage of others' danger. You have been fighting for a long time, and everyone is very worried. The two tigers fight each other, either dead or injured. General Su advised him, and the saint accepted the advice, stopped the competition and ended with a draw."
This is true. At that time, the real fire was fired, and the Qianniu sword wanted to be unsheathed. Li Jiuxi was calm. The original jade pendant was mys and gave it to Xue Rengui. Zheng Rentai blinked and said seriously: "The jade pendant given by the saint is of great origin. Do you want to know?"
Wu Kang did not comment, took out the jade pendant, and handed it over to him respectfully. Zheng Rentai took it with both hands, carefully savored it, and soon amazes: "The auspiciousness presented by Lingzhou was given to the saints by Emperor Taizong, and the saints would wear it with him. The two emperors could save their lives at critical moments."
You can beat me up. Now the only one who can kill me is Li Jiu. If he really wants to kill me, not to mention this bad jade, it would be useless to avoid death. After shaking his head, he had a bad idea and asked Zheng Rentai: "What privileges will the common people have if they own it?"
Zheng Rentai smiled and said, "The common people have this jade, which is a talisman, which can protect their lives. All civil and military officials in the court, even if they are you and me, they should be respectful when they meet the jade holder. But you are joking, and I will never believe that you will give out the jade pendant?"
Wu Kang smiled but didn't say anything. At this time, he was still squeezing me. We are fellow villagers, and I don't refute it, which doesn't mean it's easy to bully. Bad ideas come to my mind and I'm going to slap him in the face. Then I thought about it, let's just forget it.
I really can't bear to put the jade pendant in the calculation bag. You are always satisfied. Rentai saved his face, laughed very unrestrainedly, picked up the wine glass to drink. Chunfeng poured himself into his own drink, his face was content, and praise flashed in his eyes, and the change was right.
The next time was very harmonious. Recalling the past, Zheng Rentai talked about the past. The more you drink, the more you drink, the less you drink in Wukang's glass. I don't know how long it took, Zheng Rentai was a little aloof and stood up to salute and said goodbye: "You are old and have little alcohol, so you can't drink it later. Let's drink it again next day."
The two stood up and gave it to me respectfully. Zheng Rentai waved his hand and said proudly: "I left first. I have not had enough fun yet, so there is no need to get up and give it to me. To be honest, this Yanbin Building is my property. I will do my best to be a landlord, and I will enjoy it and keep the expenses in my account."
Naiweng had long guessed that you wouldn't come if it wasn't your property. Wu Kang was polite and I should pay for it today. Rentai refused to allow it. He summoned Lan Niang to tell him that the three of them bid farewell, and the ears were finally quiet.
Ju Ju did not leave, and sat beside Lao Li and began to pour wine to serve him. Lao Li looked weird and smiled and said, "Your heart is in the east, take care of the change. I have been in the Tao since I was a child, followed Taoist Master Zhiyuan, practiced hard for more than ten years, and was used to everything myself."
Wu Kang pulled out Hu bench, held it on the left, and served two top cards, which felt very wonderful. Li Chunfeng opened the bag and handed over a thread-bound book: "I often go on a war, this book "Astronomy and Astronomy" is my clumsy work. It tells the wind, rain, thunder and snow, and the changes in weather, yin and yang, you should be able to use it."
It is definitely useful, Wu Kang was ecstatic. Being able to predict the weather is like a tiger adding wings to the general. Carefully collect the calculation bag, take Li Jiuyu's jade pendant, and prepare to exchange greetings. He found Old Li's gaze and aimed at the daffodil.
Wu Kang's thoughts were turned on and understood the profound meaning. He took the young man's hand and passed by the jade pendant: "Zheng Rentai said, it is an amulet, so let's defend you. That old guy always has bad intentions, and you are too annoyed. Don't be polite to me, the things I give you will never be rejected."
The young man was flirted again, and his pretty face was about to cry. Li Chunfeng caressed his beard, and the old god said, "I have calculated that if you change, you will give you something, you will turn your left hand and your right hand, so please accept it. As for Zheng Rentai, I will not give up. I just calculated that he has bad luck this year, so don't make friends if you change."
The old charlatan said that the information was a little large, and Wu Kang focused on it: "Don't worry, sir, I will stay away from Zheng Rentai. But then again, I have no friendship with him and no job to get involved. I want to cause trouble for me, but I have no way to start."
At this time, the left arm was soft, and I was pitiful, holding my arms and shaking it, and acting coquettishly: "My husband is so partial, but Nu Nu doesn't rely on it. Nu Nu doesn't want jade pendants, but I just want to write poems. The snow is covered with bows and swords, and the murderous aura is too heavy, Nu Nu wants to be romantic and romantic."
I'm not going to make things messy, and I'm just talking about things. I can't write poems even if I have the mood to write poems. I untied my waist and stuffed them to her and said perfunctorily: "Don't mess around, please don't mess around, I'll talk about things in the bag. I'll take whatever I like."
After saying that, he ignored it, Li Chunfeng continued: "The court's eastern expedition is imminent, and according to my estimates, there will be big moves. You are all generals, and he has a higher qualification. If you are ordered to go to the expedition, it will be easy to interact with you."
Wu Kang couldn't help but frown. When Baekje was destroyed, he wanted to attack Goguryeo. Yesterday, he heard Mei Niang say that Li Jiu wanted to lead the army in person, but she tried all her best and finally persuaded Li Jiu. The scale of this Eastern Expedition will definitely not be small, but unfortunately I have nothing to do.
Frustration surged in his heart and sighed, "Although he is old, he is not worthy of great use. The saints will not send him. He wants to disgust me, let me come over, I will just accept it. Don't talk about this for now, sir, can the imperial court destroy Goguryeo this time?"
After a long period of silence, Li Chunfeng smiled bitterly: "I don't hide it from you. I learned from divination last night that I returned without success. I watched the star constellation at night. This time, the generals will fall on the battlefield. At least two generals died in Liaodong."
Wu Kang's face changed suddenly, and he quickly recalled history and breathed a sigh of relief. Su Dingfang was fine, and the rest of his love was not too familiar. He looked at him again and smiled helplessly: "The clay pot will not break away from the well, and the general will inevitably die on the battlefield. This is my criticism and my destiny?"
Li Chunfeng smiled slightly: "If a person fails, a horse will make mistakes. I am not a god and will also misunderstand. Last time I did not calculate your death disaster. Besides, the fate of a person will change as the environment changes, don't worry about it."
Wu Kang is unquestionable. Your reputation is too big and it is difficult to see. But it doesn’t matter. It’s a long time to die in the battlefield of seventy. Your arms are soft at the same time. The guy pouted and raised it happily, shaking the clay man and said, “Nu Nu wants this, Mr. Xie will give me a reward.”
The clay man with a palm size and Wu Kang's artistic photos are much more handsome than the real person. He is too lazy to pay attention to them and looks up at Lao Li. This old fox is obviously not satisfied and has bad water in his stomach.
