Eating these slightly bland foods one bite at a time.
Zhang Qi looked out the window.
There were not many people coming and going on the streets of the county town. During the meal period, except for a few wealthy children who came into the store to eat, most of them looked hungry and yellow and hurriedly looked inside the house. Poor people leaving.
Bai Xing has already gone out, and she is looking in the direction of the city gate. If Wei Qing's carriage arrives, she can inform Zhang Qi in advance.
Judging from the news sent back by the spy merchants, Wei Qing was heading straight towards Jiao Li.
He used to be the captain of the central part of the Liao region. He knew all the officials at Jiaoli, and he was a Chang'an official and a close confidant of the emperor, so he would never have too much to do with the officials at Jiaoli. Who is the purpose of coming here this time? Zhang Qi understands it very well.
He just came here for himself. As for the purpose, he didn't know.
The purpose of coming here is not to let Wei Qing enter the Duwei Mansion again. After all, the training methods of the Liaodong Army have been changed, and some things are not suitable for the diehards of the Han Dynasty to see.
The sound of hurried footsteps.
Bai Xing bowed and came to Zhang Qi's side. Facing Zhang Qi's back, she bowed her hands.
"Your Majesty, here you come."
The chopsticks brought to his mouth stopped. Zhang Qi put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, drank the rice wine in the cup in one gulp, and stood up.
"Let's go and meet him for a while."
In an 'accidental encounter', Zhang Qi met the man who left an important mark in history books.
In his prime, his figure is not burly, but he is very tall. The beard makes him look very mature. His eyes are bright, with the kind of light that has a clear goal in life.
Although he was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, Wei Qing still traveled on horseback instead of on a carriage. He was accompanied by a hundred and twenty people, including Huo Qubing, who revealed Zhang Qi's identity.
"Captain!"
Zhang Qi walked casually on the street, seemingly playing with Bai Xing, looking at the decorations of this house and tasting the snacks of that house.
Hearing the shout, Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a group of people riding horses parked on the street.
"Oh, it's to cure the disease."
"Who is this."
Zhang Qi looked surprised and looked at the person who was obviously the leader of the group.
The man glanced at Huo Qubing and asked in a low voice: "Is this Zhang Qi?"
Huo Qubing nodded flatteringly: "Yes, uncle, even though the captain looks like a scholar at ordinary times, if there is a war, the evil aura all over his body will make people scared."
After speaking quickly, Huo Qubing dismounted from his horse and ran to Zhang Qi's side.
He scratched his head and said with a somewhat proud smile: "Captain, I won the battle, hehe."
Huo Qubing was a little proud, and Zhang Qi also laughed when he heard this: "I know, Wang Li told me after he came back that he is courageous and brave, but he is still lacking in experience. I need to ask your uncle for more advice. "
After being praised by Zhang Qi, Huo Qubing was even happier than when he was praised by Wei Qing before. However, when he heard Zhang Qi mention his uncle, he realized it and introduced him quickly.
"Captain, this is my uncle, General Chariot and Cavalry, Marquis of Guannei, Wei Qing."
Then he turned to Wei Qing and said, "Uncle, this is Zhang Qi, the first general of the Liao region, the captain of the central region, and the chief concubine."
"I have admired you for a long time."
"Disrespect, disrespect."
A bit of courtesy.
In terms of status, there is not much difference between Zhang Qi and Wei Qing. The general of chariots and cavalry is not an official position, but a title. Whenever there is a war, there are important generals in the army sent. The general of chariots and cavalry means the general in charge of the chariots, soldiers and cavalry. , similar ones include light chariot generals and strong crossbow generals.
Therefore, Wei Qing's current official position is still Jianzhang Supervisor and an official of the Yulin Army. Speaking of which, in terms of official position, Wei Qing is not as good as Zhang Qiyi's 2,000 shi, the Central Captain.
But in terms of status, Wei Qing is much higher than Zhang Qi, the Marquis of Guannei, and the celebrity around Liu Che. These two are enough to make many border officials fawn over.
The place of acquaintance was not what Wei Qing had expected. He originally wanted to meet Zhang Qi at the central captain's mansion, but he didn't expect to meet him directly in Jiaoli.
However, he didn't think much about it. The only county close to the Duwei Mansion was Jiaoli, so it was not unusual to meet him here.
Wei Qing turned over and dismounted, and his guards also dismounted one after another. After the two of them chatted for a while, Zhang Qi suggested that they go to a wine shop to have a drink and chat.
Wei Qing readily agreed. He came here because he had something to talk to Zhang Qi.
He turned around, waved his hand, and told Li Ze, one of the men closest to him, "Two teams will follow on foot, and the rest will keep their horses under guard and don't block the main road."
"promise!"
Li Ze handed over his hand, and then quickly gave the order. After a while, only twelve of the Yulin Langs on the street were left as guards.
"this way please."
Zhang Qi extended his hand to invite Wei Qing to go with him.
Behind them are Bai Xing and Huo Qubing.
"Sister Bai Xing, long time no see."
Huo Qubing followed Wei Qing and greeted Bai Xing. Apart from Zhang Qi, the only one he knew well in Wuyou last time was Bai Xing. After all, Bai Xing served Zhang Qi every day.
Bai Xing nodded and said in a cold tone: "Long time no see. He is taller than last time. He looks like a man who can fight."
Huo Qubing was used to Bai Xing's cold tone. Apart from Zhang Qi, he had never seen Bai Xing smile at anyone.
However, after hearing Bai Xing's praise, Huo Qubing was still very happy. After the young man won the battle, didn't he just want to hear the praise?
After walking for a while, the group returned to the wine shop where Zhang Qi had eaten before.
After asking the store owner to bring some jars of rice wine and some dishes to go with the wine, Zhang Qi and Wei Qing sat across from each other.
Zhang Qi had long been accustomed to sitting on his knees, so there was no problem with etiquette.
When the wine was poured, Zhang Qi poured the wine and spoke.
"Does General Wei have something important to do with Li this time? If there is anything that Qi can do to help, please let me know."
Wei Qing thanked him and picked up a glass of wine: "It's nothing important. In the last battle at Youbeiping, it was thanks to Captain Zhang's help that we were able to repel the Huns so quickly. This glass of wine is worth mentioning." Lieutenant."
After saying that, Wei Qing raised his head and drank the drink.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qi responded with a toast.
After drinking, the two started chatting. Wei Qing did not reveal his intention to come immediately, but instead talked with Zhang Qi about the situation in Liao.
Zhang Qi also chatted without missing a beat.
Huo Qubing was accompanying him, and he became bored after a while. He knew what Wei Qing wanted to do this time, but from the looks of it, Wei Qing would not speak for a while.
He simply stopped waiting at the table between Zhang Qi and Wei Qing. He went to Li Ze's table and started eating.
After three rounds of drinking, both Zhang and Qi's faces were a little red, which was stimulated by alcohol.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wei Qing asked Zhang Qi: "I wonder if the captain would like to go back to Chang'an with a certain person. Your Majesty wants the captain to lead an army."
