Chapter 213: The scholar can’t explain clearly when he meets a soldier

"Zheng Zhongmian is abominable!" Li Xiuning was furious when he heard Luo Shixin recounting Cui Yingying's experience. Perhaps it was because of Cui Yingying's experience that aroused Li Xiuning's sadness.

At that time, Chai Shao left Li Xiuning and ran away alone in a jeopardy moment. At that time, Li Xiuning also felt that her life was very desperate and helpless, but fortunately she gritted her teeth and persevered. However, from then on, Li Xiuning left a shadow in her heart and hated the man who was not in a position to resist. If Zheng Zhongmian appeared in front of Li Xiuning at this time, Li Xiuning would draw out the sword without hesitation and stab Zheng Zhongmian several holes.

Chen Ying frowned and looked at Luo Shixin sitting next to him. At this time, the willow branches on Luo Shixin's back had already been removed and thrown away by Chen Ying. However, Luo Shixin looked at Chen Ying with a nervous look on his face.

The matter between Luo Shixin and Cui Yingying was not as simple as it seems. In ancient times, he was a concubine and hired as a wife. If there was no formal marriage, Cui Yingying could only become Luo Shixin's concubine, not a wife. The status and treatment of concubines and wives were very different. Being favored and destroying wives was one of the serious crimes of this era. The ancient laws were to protect the full legal rights and interests of the wife. Even if Luo Shixin loved Cui Yingying, Luo Shixin could not treat him as a wife. Once this was done, not only would Cui Yingying break the law, but Luo Shixin would also be cruel.

The concubine gave birth to a son and was a concubine. She had no right to inherit the inheritance or title, but was just a blood relationship. Looking at Luo Shixin's attitude, it was probably even more difficult to marry Cui Yingying. If she just wanted Cui Yingying as her wife, it would be simple at this time. Chen Ying had not taken the revenge of Zheng in Xingyang. The key point was that Zheng in Xingyang, like Chai Shao, held Cui Yingying's book. Zheng did not hand over Cui Yingying's book for one day, and Cui Yingying was not free for one day, so she would be called the name of Zheng's wife.

Chen Yingyou sighed and said, "This matter is difficult to deal with!"

At this time, Chen Yingzhen felt a little regretful. If he had accepted Zheng Jian's intention and delayed the attack and asked Liu Jintang to lead the rebel soldiers to loot the Zheng family in Xingyang, this would probably not have happened.

Luo Shixin was nervous.

Chen Ying said: "It's difficult to deal with it, you can take Cui now..."

Luo Shixin said anxiously: "Cui Yingying!"

"Yes!" Chen Ying nodded and said, "You bring Cui Yingying. As long as she promises to marry you as a wife in front of me and the princess, then the rest will be left to me. After a while, choose a zodiac auspicious day, and you can wait to be the groom!"

Luo Shixin was overjoyed when he heard this and turned around and left.

Chen Ying looked at Luo Shixin's back and his head was running quickly. Chen Ying never believed in coincidences. He was more willing to believe in the calculations and arrangements in the dark. Although Luo Shixin was extremely brave, his emotional intelligence was obviously not on the normal line. Therefore, Chen Ying had to personally check on Luo Shixin to see if Cui Yingying was using Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin finally met a woman who was moved. Chen Ying was worried that Cui Yingying was just using Luo Shixin, and it was not scary to be used. If she was using her feelings, it would be too shameful. With Luo Shixin's kindness and kindness, once she learned that she was being used, she would probably be unable to think about it for a while.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Guo Luo, Zhou Qing!"

"exist!"

"Notify all departments to use the Shooting Army, Modao Army, and baggage to serve as the first echelon and evacuate from Xingyang first!" Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "The other departments are the second echelons, the personal barracks and the rear of the cavalry cavalry! "

"Abide by the order!"

Li Xiuning frowned slightly when she heard this. The matter between Cui Yingying and Luo Shixin was probably more complicated than the matter between Chai Shao and her.

Not to mention that the strength and status of the Chai clan in Haozhou cannot be compared with the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and the strength of the Cui clan in Qinghe is actually stronger than that of the Li clan in Longyou. Among the nobles of the Seven Sects and Five Hopes, the Cui clan in Qinghe ranks first (when Li Shimin wrote a book on the clan in history, the Li clan in Longyou was changed to the first, but the aristocratic clans did not recognize it). The key is that Chen Ying is different from Luo Shixin. Chen Ying was born into the Houmo Chen clan, one of the eight major pillars of the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, but Luo Shixin is a real poor family.

The children of aristocratic families are as arrogant as the children of aristocratic families. No matter how powerful Luo Shixin is, he is just a poor family, and is even worse than the local wealthy families like Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong. In the diplomacy of aristocratic families, they have always been married to daughters of high families and seeking wife from low families. Although the Cui family is already a top wealthy family, they do not need to marry daughters of high families, but they need to threaten the status and rights of Cui family. As the saying goes, there is no Bai Ding in the relationship, and the Cui family's daughter is impossible to marry a poor family.

There is a Hou Mo Chen family behind Chen Ying, but what does Luo Shixin have?

It's just these words that Li Xiuning is not convenient for him to say.

Li Xiuning sighed lightly. Even if he could use the princess' identity to suppress the Zheng family in Xingyang and exchange his interests with the Zheng family in Xingyang, even if the Zheng family in Xingyang agreed, Cui family would most likely not be willing to marry a noble girl to a poor family, even if Luo Shixin was already a fourth-rank General Xuanwei.

Not long after, Luo Shixin brought Cui Yingying in. Cui Yingying said to Li Xiuning: "Cui Yingying pays homage to Princess Pingyang, and has met General Chen!"

Li Xiuning paused slightly and said, "No gift!"

Chen Ying looked at Cui Yingying and saw that her chin was slightly pointed, which was beautiful, but she was a little green, and there was also a bit heroic between her eyebrows and eyes.

The angles of men and women observe beauty are different. Li Xiuning only glanced at it and felt a little delicious in her heart. Cui Yingying's skin was as bright as snow, round and jade, her eyes were free and clear, and her eyebrows and eyes were infinitely charming. Her nose, lips and her light red cheeks were all beautiful. At first glance, she saw Chen Ying also looking at her, and her eyes were shocked and flashed and dodged, adding a bit of charm.

Chen Ying sighed in his heart after seeing it: This woman is so beautiful.

Chen Ying coughed and said, "Cui, there is something that I want to confirm with you!"

Cui Yingying said: "General Chen, but it's okay!"

Chen Ying said: "You are really willing to be together with Luo Shixin forever and never give up on your life?"

Luo Shixin had never been in love or encountered such a thing. He looked at Cui Yingying nervously, for fear that Cui Yingying would refuse.

Cui Yingying did not answer Chen Ying, but turned to Li Xiuning and said, "Princess Pingyang is also a witness!"

Li Xiuning nodded.

Cui Yingying said: "Luo Lang, are you willing to protect me for the rest of your life?"

Luo Shixin's heart was about to jump out, and he said without hesitation: "I do!"

Cui Yingying looked at Luo Shixin and said, "Life and Death are in harmony, talk to Zicheng."

Cui Yingying naturally looked forward to Luo Shixin's reply: "Hold your hand and grow old with you!"

However, Luo Shixin said: "I will protect you for the rest of my life. If anyone wants to bully you, he must step on my body!"

"Since you have already understood your intentions, it's easy to deal with!" Chen Ying clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Guo Luo, Zhou Qing."

Guo Luo and Zhou Qing came out in response and bowed to salute. "General, what are the instructions?"

Chen Ying said: "Order the personal guards on duty to gather and go to Zheng Mansion with me."

Guo Luo and Zhou Qing were slightly stunned, then they were frowning and turned around and were about to leave. When Luo Shixin heard this, he immediately said: "Cabinets gather!"

Luo Shixin is a person who is not afraid of trouble. Since Chen Ying is going to fight with Zheng, there is no reason for him to be a turtle with a head-retten turtle.

However, this scared Li Xiuning and quickly called Guo Luo and Zhou Qing, and pushed Chen Ying, who was ready to beat him, laughing and crying. "Chen Lang, how could you do this? That's the Zheng family of Xingyang."

Chen Ying glanced at Cui Yingying sideways and found a smile flashing in her eyebrows. He said disapprovingly: "What else can it be done? The Zheng family of Zheng is even afraid of the useless Liu Jintang. Today I will tell them the Zheng family of Xingyang today, what does it mean to be a scholar who meets a soldier and cannot explain it clearly!"

"No, this..." Li Xiuning was so anxious that she was in chaos. She had never seen her so panic when she was commanding the army to fight.

Chen Ying stretched out his finger and pointed at Luo Shixin and said, "He is my brother. My brother finally met someone he likes. When encountering this, I must go to Cai Zheng immediately and finalize this matter. I will set off in the afternoon to Luoyang, and I don't have time to wait slowly."

...

The Zheng family mansion in Xingyang was proud and persevering in Xingyang City. When you look from a distance, you feel extraordinary. When you walk closer, you will appreciate the grand momentum of the thousand-year-old mansion. The gate of the mansion faces north and south. In the middle of the gatehouse is hung with a plaque with vigorous blue-bottomed gold characters, with the words "Shangshu Zheng Note" written on it. The vermilion gate is closed tightly, decorated with a large bronze ring with beasts.

Chen Ying led hundreds of personal guards and cavalry along the streets to the Zheng family mansion, hundreds of steps away. The Zheng family's sect was rolling and crawling, running to the mansion to inform the mansion.

Zheng's ancestral home in Xingyang was more than a hundred steps. There was a conspicuous piece of horse-drawn horse with the three words "Shunting the Horse Stone" written on it. Facing these three powerful characters, Chen Ying seemed to have not seen it, and ran straight towards the Zheng gate.

Zheng's gate is open, and two rows of gatemen are lined up in two neat rows.

Chen Ying rode his horse directly into the Zheng Mansion. The Zheng family members wanted to welcome Chen Ying warmly, but looking at Chen Ying's posture, this was not a visit, why did it feel like a mess? As Chen Ying rode his horse and rushed straight into the Zheng Mansion, the cavalry of the personal guards also rushed in. The Zheng family members around him were furious and dared not resist, let alone stop him.

In front of me is a corridor that extends straight inward. This corridor is 16 steps wide and more than a hundred steps long, which separates the eight courtyards and twenty-four courtyards in the Zheng family's mansion from south to north on both sides. It is surrounded by blue brick thick walls nearly four meters high, surrounding it, which encircles the entire Zheng family's mansion into a castle-style building complex.

This is a fort city, which is even larger than the fort built by Chen Ying. Chen Ying was shocked. He was very surprised. For a fort like Zheng, there were thousands of armed servants guarding him. Even if Dou Jiande had occupied Xingyang City, if the Zheng family was determined to resist, they could at least defend for several months or even a year.

However, Chen Ying also sighed inwardly. It is not the city wall that can protect himself. If he does not have the determination to resist, even if he is solid, he will not be able to defend against foreign enemies. If he is determined to resist, even if there is no natural danger or pass, it will make it difficult for the enemy to advance in an instant.

Just as Chen Ying rushed into the courtyard of Zheng's mansion three times, Zheng Jian and more than a dozen Zheng's family members were lined up to guard the atrium. Although Chen Ying clearly wanted to find trouble for Zheng, he did not want to kill innocent people. For Chen Ying, it was the most important thing to get Cui Yingying's letter from Zheng Zhongmian.

"I don't know that General Chen is coming to the humble house and has not been able to meet him. Please forgive me!" Zheng Jian smiled and could see that the blind man could see it.

Chen Ying didn't even mean to dismount and said arrogantly: "No, no, who is Zheng Zhongmian?"

Zheng Jian asked in confusion: "Nephew Sun Zhongmian is ill and cannot meet guests. Please let General Chen live with you."

In fact, at this time, Zheng Jian was also very resentful to Chen Ying. Zheng's family had the pride of Zheng, but what is it like for you, Chen Ying, to go straight to Zheng? If you spread it, do you still want to be a human being? But the Zheng family was also afraid, and Chen Yingwan was ruthless and slaughtered the entire Zheng family without leaving any chickens and dogs. The head fell off, but it couldn't grow.

An old man was so angry that he trembled and pointed at Chen Ying and said, "General Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Ying said: "It's meaningless, I just want to ask Zheng's requirements!"

Zheng Jian said: "I wonder what General Chen wants to borrow?"

Chen Ying said with confidence: "Cui's letter to the hall!"

The head of the Zheng family was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He knew that Zheng had suffered a defeat this time. The Zheng family in Xingyang was first robbed by Dou Jiande, and suffered heavy losses. There was nothing he could do about this. After all, the scholar met a soldier and could not explain it clearly. Those who held a knife would never reason with those who held a pen.

At this time, the action of revenge on Dou Jiande has not yet begun. Now Chen Ying is here again. How should people in the world view Zheng in Xingyang? How should court officials view Zheng in Xingyang?

The aristocratic family that has been laid for hundreds of years in the end made Dou Jiande look down on his face, so how could Zheng not be angry? He didn't understand why Chen Ying was so hostile to Zheng. Chen Ying's unreasonableness and Chen Ying's actions have completely angered him. He glared at Chen Ying with a resentful gaze and grinned: "General Chen, you have done a good job, very well! I have remembered you..."

"Don't tell me the nonsense!" Chen Ying held back the manic and uneasy horse's head. The hostility exuded by the head of the Zheng family had already made the war horse feel. The war horse wanted to rush away and stomp the hateful head into pieces. All the elders of the Zheng clan looked resentful, but they had no choice but to have any help. The form was stronger than that of people. Under the eaves, they had to bow their heads.

Zheng Jian whispered to the elders of the clan. After a while, Zheng Jian said: "General Chen, if Zheng did not teach Cui's next class today, he would definitely not be able to be good?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "This is natural!"

Zheng Jian said: "Do you dare to kill the entire Zheng family?"

"Why don't you dare?" Chen Ying pointed behind him, and the cavalry guards all raised arrows and pointed at everyone with sharp arrows. The big hand was in a state of disagreement and was in a state of killing.

Chen Ying said: "Believe it or not, I will burn Xingyang City with a torch? At that time, Xingyang City will become Baicheng, and this general will declare to the public that the remnants of the Xia army will ask for the troops to kill them in order to retaliate against the Zheng family. This reason should make the world trust!"

When the head of the Zheng family heard this, he felt sweet in his mouth, a mouthful of blood squirted out, and his body collapsed to the ground.

Zheng Jian's face changed drastically. Many clan elders' chests were fluctuating, and they were obviously very angry by Chen Ying.

"You guys think about it, half a incense stick!"

As he said that, Chen Ying turned over and dismounted. He walked to Zheng Jian and lowered his voice, but he could hear it and said: "Don't worry, I will kill all the old Zheng family, you are the head of the Zheng family!"

Zheng Jian's face changed drastically. When the head of the Zheng family who had just woken up, his face suddenly turned into gold paper when he heard this. He pointed at Chen Ying and said, "Give it...give it to him!"

Chen Ying smiled very happily and shrugged at Zheng Jian and said, "Would I kill or not?"

Zheng Jian asked Chen Ying’s ancestors in his heart, “Is there anyone who cheats you like? How dare he talk to Chen Ying now? Now he is smearing yellow mud into his crotch, either shit or shit.

Chen Ying got the letter from Cui Yingying as he wished and led his troops to withdraw from the Zheng family. At the gate of Zheng, An Xing, the military appearance commander, said to Chen Ying with reproach: "General Chen, you have completely fallen out with Zheng this time! This will not benefit you!"

Chen Ying snorted: "How can he do to me!"

An Xing said with a heartbroken heart: "Of course they can't do anything to you, General, but you can't help saying bad things in front of His Majesty. The ministers broke their way, accumulated feathers and sunk boats, and the mouths of others poured gold, and destroyed bones. No matter how much your Majesty trusted you, he could not resist his slander in his ears every day!"

Chen Yingran said calmly: "If we, the generals who fought on the battlefield and had a lifetime of war, are not as trusted by His Majesty as a ignorant villain, this will be a very sad thing. It is not only our sorrow, but also His Majesty, the sorrow of the entire country... Well, let's not talk about this anymore, the army sets off, Luoyang is still waiting for us!"

Although Chen Ying said it easily, he actually had a very strong purpose in doing so. This offended Zheng family in order to give Li Yuan a politeness and was removed from his official position by Li Yuan. After this battle, it was a foregone conclusion that Chen Ying and Li Xiuning got married. At the same time, the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will shift from the dark to the light. After destroying the two strong enemies of the Central Plains, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, the Tang Dynasty will have no rivals in the Central Plains, but the focus of the struggle will shift from the outside to the inside.

But Chen Ying cannot stand in the fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and it is the best way to not help each other. After all, no matter who wins or loses in the Xuanwu Gate, it is the biggest blow to Li Xiuning. With Li Xiuning's personality, no matter who Chen Ying helps or hurts, Li Xiuning will not forgive Chen Ying. After all, for Li Xiuning, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng, the palms and backs of his hands are flesh.

Moreover, as Chen Ying said, Xuanwu Gate is a political speculation. For some ministers with humble official positions, it is a lucky way to advance. However, for those with strength like Chen Ying and Li Jing, they do not need to take sides, because any emperor cannot do without them. Not taking sides is the best choice.
