Chapter 13: A horse triggered...

Yu Zhongwen is behind the Eight Pillar Kingdoms and a powerful family in Luoyang and an extremely important figure in the Guanlong Group. It is normal for Mai Zizhong to be polite to him.

But Yan Qing thought again that although the Yu family of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms cannot be said to be of scholarly origin, it has been passed down for more than a hundred years and is also a wealthy family of aristocratic families. Zheng Yanqing has never met Yu Zhongwen, but more than three years ago he met Yu Zhongwen's brother, Yu Zhonghua, the master of Yixue. Yu Zhonghua is very elegant. Even if Yu Zhongwen is different, he cannot speak such a world-class word as a man in white. Therefore, Zheng Yanqing immediately overturned the initial guess.

The man in white didn't seem to care much about Yan Qing and looked at Mai Zizhong with his eyes narrowed.

"Maizi, I know your concern, but if you use this method to fight with others, you will inevitably bully others with your power.

If it is heard in other people's ears, it may backfire.

You want to fight with others and compete for the best and bad... Haha, I have an idea, I wonder if you are interested?"

Mai Zizhong hurriedly said, "I wish to hear Grandpa Yu's teachings."

"Where are you, kid?"

Zheng Yanqing also got off the horse at this time and looked at the man in white without comment.

The man in white smiled and said, "Wa'er, your horse is good... After begging for the cold, there will be Xiaoguo in Nanyuan Horse Farm to attack Ju for His Majesty. If you are interested, why not use this kid to attack Ju before Xiaoguo appears?

If a real man wins, he will not blame you for being open and honest. What do you think of this idea?”

When Maizizhong heard it, his eyes lit up.

"Maizi is willing to follow Grandpa Yu's words... Zheng Yanqing, on the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, we will have a double-goal strike at Nanyuan Horse Farm, each with eight people, and the winner will be determined by ten goals. However, those who lose must leave Luoyang before the first day of the first lunar month."

The man in white suddenly smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, the real man will do the victory and the winner will hold the beauty and return."

"Then let's make up that, Grandpa Yu, Maizi said goodbye!"

After Mai Zizhong finished speaking, he turned over and left with his family generals to beat the horse and whip it. Zheng Yanqing widened his eyes and opened his mouth a few times, but he could not speak to stop him. Whether it was the man in white or Mai Zizhong, he seemed to have ignored him...

The man in white said, "Baby, be prepared. There are still fifty days before the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. I'll help me teach that old madman a lesson at that time."

"But……"

"A real man has a word, it is hard to pursue. Don't talk too much, just say that!"

After saying that, the man in white left leisurely with the strong soldiers.

Zheng Yanqing got on the horse again, looking at the back of the man in white, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These people are probably used to being arrogant on weekdays... He didn't want to have any disputes with Mai Zizhong, but now, the person involved seems to have become a supporting role. Why is no one here to ask about his opinion?

"Who is that person?"

When he left Jianguo Gate, Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but ask Uncle Men.

Men Bo said seriously: "That is the former Fengzhou general, General Yu Kuluo Yu!"

Fish and Rollo?

Zheng Yanqing was immediately startled and said to himself: It turned out to be him.

Speaking of Yujuluo, it was not very famous in later generations. At least it seemed obscured than those familiar heroes of Wagang. But in fact, Yujuluo was a very famous figure since the founding of the Sui Dynasty.

This person is from Xiabang County, Fengyi County. He was born in Qianniuwei at the age of twentieth. During the battle of Pingchen, he was appointed as Kaifu for his merits. When he arrived at Kaihuang, he was in trouble with the bandits in Jiangnan. Yang Su invited Yu Juluo to travel with him. He would have made merits in every battle and was named Gaotang County Duke.

In the late Kaihuang year, Yang Su attacked the Turks from Lingzhou Road and invited Yu Juluo to accompany him again.

This man only brought a few cavalry to charge and defeated the Turks, so he carried the general of the Pillar Kingdom and the general of Fengzhou.

It is said that when Yujuluo was in Fengzhou, the Turks did not even dare to livestock on the frontier, which shows his power.

If according to the military book, there are powerful generals and wise generals in this world, Yu Juluo undoubtedly belongs to the sequence of powerful generals. It’s a pity that he has a brother who was arrested and dismissed by Yang Guang because of his violent temperament and slaughtered his generals. Later, Yang Guang released him, but he was unable to think about it for a moment and committed suicide... Yang Guang was afraid of Yu Juluo because of this.

In the middle of the year, Yu Juluo was dismissed from his official position by taking advantage of the bribery of General Liang Boyin.

But even so, in the eyes of the ministers of the Sui Dynasty, especially the children of the powerful, Yu Juluo was definitely an idol-level figure. No wonder Mai Zizhong saw Yu Juluo, just like a mouse saw a cat, honestly.

Zheng Yanqing scratched his head and urged his horse to leave Jianguo Gate.

He was full of worries at this moment, but he didn't know that after he left Luoyang, the bet between him and Mai Zizhong quickly spread.

Tongtufang, located on the banks of the river on the north bank of the Luoshui River, is also an industry under the name of the Changsun family.

The surname Changsun appeared as early as the Western Han Dynasty. However, this Changsun was not the Changsun. The Changsun family in Luoyang City originated from the Northern Wei royal family. At that time, Emperor Xiaowen of Wei changed the Han surname, changed Tuoba to Yuan surname, and another branch changed it to Changsun surname, which means that the descendants of the Changsun family of the royal family. Later, when the Yuan clan was compiled, the hall name was Pili Hall.

Although the Changsun clan is also a member of the Guanlong group, compared with other Guanlong nobles, the Changsun clan's population is not prosperous.

During the Northern Anniversary, only one Changsun Jian was born, and he served as the general manager of Jingzhou in the early years of Kaihuang.

By the time Changsun Sheng's generation, the population seemed to be thinner than before. In addition to Changsun Sheng, there were two brothers of the same clan, which was so difficult to compare with other powerful people.

The winter night is long and the cold is unbearable.

In a big mansion in Tongtufang, Changsun Sheng finished reading the official documents in the study and started coughing gently.

At the beginning of the year, he followed Yang Guang to the north, but unfortunately got cold. Changsun Sheng had a disease when he was a child, which led to the problem of qi disease, that is, asthma. Once he worked too much, the disease would easily occur. Originally, Yang Guang was planning to let him become the prefect of a county, but considering that the prefect was too heavy, he changed his mind halfway.

He stayed in Luoyang and served as the General of Youtun Guard. On the one hand, he was out of trust in Changsun Sheng, and on the other hand, he also hoped that he would take good care of himself.

After all, Luoyang is now the capital. Although it does not have the name of the imperial capital, it has the reality of the imperial capital.

Famous doctors gathered together and the items were very rich, so it was very convenient to raise them. However, Changsun Sheng was a person who couldn't rest. Even though the General of Youtun Guard did not have much work, he would still work until after the hour of Hai every night.

After packing up the official documents, Changsun Sheng got up and prepared to go out.

The door of the study was pushed open at this time, but a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in with a little girl tied with a bun.

The little girl was about five or six years old, and her baby was as cute as a white porcelain doll. As soon as she entered the house, she broke free from the beautiful woman's hand, opened her arms and shouted, "Dad, hug!"

"Guanyin maid, Daddy has been busy for a day and is very tired... Don't bother him."

"No matter what, I just want my father to hug you!"

Changsun Shengqing's thin cheeks showed a kind smile.

He squatted down, picked up the little girl, and then pressed her forehead against the little girl's forehead, causing the little girl to giggle.

"Madam, why haven't you rested yet?"

Changsun Sheng held the little girl and sat down next to the desk.

The middle-aged beautiful woman was Changsun Sheng's wife Gao. Speaking of which, Gao was the descendant of the Northern Qi royal family, married Changsun Sheng and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Changsun Sheng had three sons, and the eldest son Changsun Xingbu was born by his ex-wife and was also the most handsome man with Changsun Sheng's style. Unfortunately, during the Yang Liang rebellion, Changsun Xingbu was ordered to guard Taiyuan, and the city was broken and killed.

The second son, Changsun Heng'an, and the third son, Changsun Xingcao, were all born from the concubine.

Originally, after Changsun Xingbu died in battle, he should have inherited it by his youngest son, Changsun Wuji, who was born by Mrs. Gao.

I don’t know what Changsun Sheng was doing for his first son, but he gave the contribution of his eldest son to Changsun Heng'an, the second son of the concubine, and was the general of Yingyang Lang. However, in private, Changsun Sheng still prefers his youngest daughter, the little girl in his arms, Changsun Wugui, and his nickname is Guanyin Bi.

Mrs. Gao smiled and said, "Tonight, Mr. Pei's daughter Shuying pulled me to play backgammon. She just came back for half a night."

"Oh, girl Shuying came to Luoyang? When?"

"The evening before yesterday...but she didn't say much, and today she just asked me and Princess Guangping to go there."

"Oh, is Princess Guangping okay?"

“It looks pretty good!”

Princess Guangping is the third daughter of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, and married to Wen Jingli, Gongyu, Ande County. Shuying, whom Mrs. Gao mentioned, is Pei Shiju's youngest daughter Pei Shuying, a resolute and independent woman. She married Li Dewu in her early years, but later due to the Prince Yin's Incident, Li Dewu was exiled to Lingnan for six years.

Pei Shiju originally planned to let Pei Shuying remarry, but her youngest daughter firmly disagreed, and Pei Shiju had no choice but to do anything about it.

Gao's relationship with Princess Guangping and Pei Shuying is very good. Pei Shuying comes over, so Gao naturally wants to visit her.

Changsun Sheng didn't care much, so he put his daughter on his lap and asked while playing with Wugui, "You haven't seen each other for a long time, have you ever said anything interesting?"

Gao shook his head, "No, Shuying said she was begging Mr. Pei to recall her husband from Lingnan. She also asked me to ask you. If you have the chance, please tell Li Dewu about it in front of His Majesty. However, I did not agree firmly."

"It has been seven years since Li Dewu went to Lingnan, and His Majesty didn't even know that he was like this.

Well, I think the problem will not be too big. If you tell Shuying another day, I will say that I will respond to this matter and find an opportunity to discuss it."

Changsun Sheng is a person who promises a lot and generally does not easily agree to others' things.

But since he agreed, he would try every possible way to do it. Mrs. Gao nodded and was also very happy that Changsun Sheng agreed to this matter.

"By the way, when I came back, I heard something."

"What's up?"

"General Mai's grandson had a conflict with Ban Yuanjun at Jianguomen. Later, he was blocked by Yu Laozhu Kingdom and agreed to compete on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month... Oh, I misunderstood Ban Yuanjun before and thought he was a frivolous person.

I heard that in the afternoon, Bai Yuanjun and Cuiyun were talking about poetry in the Dading Restaurant. If he was really a frivolous person, how could he meet him with Cuiyun's temperament? Shuying said that the rumors before were from somewhere. When she and Cuiyun went to Baima Temple to burn incense at noon, they also asked Cuiyun... Seeing that, Cuiyun had a good impression of Bai Yuanjun."

"oh?"

Changsun Sheng suddenly stopped playing with Wugui and turned his head to look at Mrs. Gao.

"Mom, I know that Ban Yuanjun is that arrogant little brother, right?" Wugui, who was sitting on Changsun Sheng's lap, suddenly spoke.

Changsun Sheng was stunned, "Have Guanyin Maid met Zheng Yanqing?"

Mrs. Gao was also stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "That was a long time ago. When the old emperor was sick, you were the general of the left commander and the guards. At that time, I, Guanyin maid, and..., returned to Luoyang. On the way to Xiangshan Temple to catch incense, I happened to see the young man going to the school to study. I took a look at it at that time, but didn't talk."

"oh!"

Changsun Sheng nodded.
