Dengzhou Prefecture.
Inside a secluded restaurant.
The entire second floor has been cleared out intentionally or unintentionally by the waiter and shopkeeper.
Only Qin Qiong was still eating and drinking there slowly.
but.
He seemed not to have noticed anything unusual about his surroundings.
While eating the wine, he turned his head slightly and looked under the restaurant.
really.
It didn't take long.
The men he had been waiting for finally arrived.
But I heard a commotion outside the restaurant.
Immediately afterwards.
It was the sound of the scraping of clothes and rapid footsteps.
The next second.
Dozens of elite soldiers wearing helmets and armor and holding long swords swarmed up and surrounded Qin Qiong.
"What a thief, he came to Dengzhou Mansion to run wild! Do you still recognize me? Eh?"
Right now.
A loud shout came from behind many soldiers.
In the blink of an eye.
A figure appeared in front of Qin Qiong's desk, with doubt on his face as he stared at Qin Qiong.
"It turns out to be Brother Cui, long time no see."
Qin Qiong looked at the person in front of him, couldn't help but smile, cupped his hands, and said.
turn out to be.
The man in front of Qin Qiong was over ten feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, a black face and thick beard, and wide eyes. If he wasn't Cui Yue, who could he be?
"Brother Qin, why are you here?"
Cui Yue looked at Qin Qiong with a puzzled look on his face and couldn't help but ask.
Although Qin Qiong and Cui Yue did not have a close relationship, they had known each other since the time of the Han Dynasty's rebellion.
Cui Yuenai was a child of an aristocratic family, but he also knew a lot about Jianghu affairs. He was aware of Qin Qiong's reputation as "riding his horse on both sides of the Yellow River and attacking three states and six prefectures with his mace", so he was deeply impressed.
now.
The two of them met in Dengzhou Mansion.
Cui Yue was confused and asked about his doubts.
Qin Qiong said: "I am the deputy general under General Tang Bi of Jinan Prefecture. I was ordered to investigate the robbery of Huanggang. I collected clues all the way to Dengzhou, so I used some means to meet the patron king."
Cui Yue heard this, nodded slightly, and then said: "Since Brother Qin is a general in the army, how can he do such a thing as catching someone fast?"
Qin Qiong replied: "Because I was a horse racing driver in Licheng County when I was young, and now I am in my old profession, hahahaha!"
Speaking of which.
He reached into his arms, took the arrest warrant handwritten by Licheng County Magistrate Xu Youde, and handed it to Cui Yue.
After Cui Yue heard this, he also took the detention ticket, looked at it carefully, laughed out loud, and said: "That's it! Before, in the military formation, I didn't have time to make friends with Brother Qin, but now that I'm here, I have to have a good intimacy with him. affectionate."
Speaking of which.
Cui Yue thought for a moment and then said: "Today, the patron king should be watching the troops at Beixiaochang outside Dengzhou Mansion. Why don't I take you to see it first?"
Hearing this, Qin Qiong nodded in thanks and said, "Thank you, Brother Cui, thank you!"
after.
Cui Yue dismissed his soldiers and horses, took Qin Qiong with him, and walked straight to Beixiaochang outside Dengzhou Mansion.
…
Let’s talk about this day.
General Hu'er and Yang Xuangan came to visit.
Yang Lin then issued a military order and summoned all his generals to go to the North Campus of Dengzhou Prefecture to observe the troops.
Not for a while.
After receiving the order, the generals saw that Yang Lin had finished and separated on both sides.
Yang Lin said loudly: "Everyone! In the early years of the Solitary King, two prison dragon sticks defeated the world of the Sui Dynasty. He had many fierce generals and elite soldiers under his command. Now the bandits are rampant in Shandong. I am going to select generals to help the two generals Lai Hu'er and Yang Xuangan to suppress them. Bandits... So, everyone, please show your abilities and compete for the position of the bandit-suppressing general!"
After hearing this, all the generals were eager to give it a try.
One of them stepped forward first, clasped his hands in fists, and said: "Your Majesty! The veteran is not talented, but he is willing to serve the country!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone turned around to watch.
But I saw this veteran - white face and silver beard, majestic and dignified appearance. He was the chief military officer of Caozhou Prefecture. His name was Cao Yanshou. He was nearly seventy years old. He was accustomed to using two guns and was invincible.
Yang Lin saw that it was Cao Yanshou who came out to fight, and smiled slightly. Just when he was about to agree, he saw another veteran standing next to him and said: "Oh! Old Cao, you were the vanguard in the last rebellion of the Han Dynasty. This time you should be let go." Brother, let me be a pioneer for once, right?"
The words just fell.
The veteran had also stepped out, stood beside Cao Yanshou, raised his hands and said.
This veteran is the chief military officer of Haizhou Prefecture. His name is Huang Congyi. He is a descendant of Huang Zhong during the Three Kingdoms period. In terms of relatives, he and Huang Junhan are in the same family.
Cao Yanshou smiled and said: "Old Huang, do you want to compete with me again this time?"
Huang Congyi replied: "Hey! How can this be called a fight? It's just sharing the worries of the imperial court."
at this time.
Seeing that the two generals were arguing.
Yang Lin turned around and said to Lai Hu'er and Yang Xuangan: "These two are veteran generals on the battlefield. They are happy to hear the battle and behave like old naughty boys."
Yang Xuangan touched his beard and said, "Why don't you let the two of you compete in martial arts and use your martial arts to compete for the position of a bandit-suppressing general?"
Yang Lin said: "It makes sense!"
immediately.
He summoned his son Yang Daoyuan and told him: "Go and invite the two old generals to come to the stage to speak."
"yes!"
Yang Daoyuan slightly cupped his hands, then came to Cao Yanshou and Huang Congyi and said: "Two generals, don't argue, please go and speak in front of the prince."
Cao Yanshou and Huang Congyi looked at each other, came to Yang Lin together, and bowed their hands.
Yang Lin said: "You are both talented generals in our Dengzhou Army. If you get into an argument, your friendship will be ruined. Why don't you compete and decide on your position?"
Cao Yanshou said with a smile: "Okay, okay! I have long wanted to learn about Lao Huang's Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Sword!"
Huang Congyi said: "Not bad! Not bad! I also want to learn about Lao Cao's double spear technique!"
Yang Lin nodded slightly and said, "Forget it! After you two are ready, let's compete in the school field!"
"The last general takes command!"
When Cao Yanshou and Huang Congyi heard this, they clasped their hands in fists, bowed their hands and saluted, and went down to prepare themselves.
at the same time.
Qin Qiong and Cui Yue also came to the school grounds.
…
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Soon.
Only the sound of the three-way war drum could be heard.
On the left and right sides of the university grounds, a veteran emerged from each side.
I saw only one person on the left. He was tall and burly, with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow's chin and a silver beard. He wore a black gold five-dragon bead crown on his head, a pair of black gold armor on the outside, and a piece of soap satin on the inside. Wearing a colorful python robe, a heart-protecting mirror hangs on the chest, a thousand-mile-thousand-bone yellow gelding horse under the crotch, and a Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Sword in the palm of his hand. He is full of energy and majestic - it is Huang Congyi, the commander-in-chief of Haizhou.
Look at the person on the right, about nine feet tall, with square ears and a gray beard that covers his chest. He wears a bright silver five-dragon bead crown and a pair of bright silver fish scale armor. Wearing a plain satin python robe, sitting on a silver-maned horse, with a golden saddle and jade bridle, and a green spear in the palm of his hand, with twin shining blades, he is really majestic and murderous - it is Cao Yanshou, the commander-in-chief of Caozhou.
present.
The two rushed to the front of the army and saluted Yang Lin together. After receiving permission, they returned to the center of the school field and stood facing each other.
"General Cao, please!"
Huang Congyi cupped his hands slightly, waved the Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Knife in his palm, and said loudly.
"General Huang, come on, come on! Don't hold back, let's see what a certain family is capable of!"
Cao Yanshou looked up to the sky and let out a haha. Then he clamped his legs on the war horse, brandished both guns in his hands, and ran towards Huang Congyi to kill him.
