Chapter 22 Reason

The wind is very strong!

A dark cloud came from the sky and slowly pressed towards Ye County.

It looks like it's going to snow!

On the way back, Zheng Yanqing said nothing.

Zheng Hongyi said nervously: "Yan Qing, this time it was really not my trouble, it was them who deliberately provoked me. Today I was having a drink with a few friends in the restaurant, but I didn't expect that the Feng family members would come and sat next to us. Their words were quite slandering you. So I argued with them... Those people rushed over to fight without saying a word. At first, there were more than a dozen people, but later a group of officials came from somewhere and joined forces with the Feng family members. I was outnumbered and was captured by them."

Yan Qing's face was originally a little gloomy.

Hearing Zheng Hongyi's panic explanation, he came to his senses and smiled slightly, "Hongyi, I didn't blame you... I said just now that Feng Zhidai was targeting me. You were just being affected by the fish... but I can't remember when did he offend his Feng family?"

Zheng Hongyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The four of them returned to their residence and had gathered many people.

Among them, the children of Henan clans were all relieved when they saw Zheng Hongyi coming back.

Most of the aristocratic children south of the Yellow River assisted in the war in Ye County; the aristocratic children north of the Yellow River went to Zhuo County to obey the orders.

Zheng Hongyi has met many children of aristocratic families around him.

So when he had an accident, the children of the aristocratic families who came to Ye County to help the war were all filled with righteous indignation. If Zheng Hongyi came back later, these aggressive boys might have already ordered their troops to fight to the Feng family's military camp. After all, for the Guandong gentry, the Feng family in Lingnan was a small family after all. Even if Lady Xian is worthy of admiration, the family's background is ultimately not as good as the aristocratic family.

Zheng Yanqing and Zheng Hongyi thanked each one.

He also set up a banquet at the residence to entertain everyone.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Hongyi suddenly asked, "Brothers, do you know why Feng Zhidai is looking for me?"

"oh……"

A noble family hesitated and said softly: "Hongyi, I know a little about this matter. However, Feng Zhidai is not targeting you, but Ban Yuanjun and Master Zheng."

Yan Qing and Xie Ke were whispering, and when they heard the words of the aristocratic family, they immediately became interested.

"I hope to hear the details."

"This matter is a bit long... Do Mr. Zheng still remember Mai Zizhong?"

Yan Qing was stunned and nodded, "But Mr. Mai Laozhuguo's grandson?"

"It's him." The son of the aristocratic family said: "Feng Zhidai's father, Feng Ang, the general of the Zuo Xiaowei, was the prefect of Hanyin (now Li County, Gansu) when the late emperor was alive. He had a very good relationship with Mai Mengcai, the son of Mai Laozhu Kingdom, who was the father of Mai Zizhong.

Both of his families are from the south, so they have close contacts.

Mai Zizhong and Feng Zhidai are not only family friends, but also grew up together like brothers."

Speaking of this, if Zheng Yanqing is not sure what is going on, he will be reborn for nothing.

Back then, he fought with Mai Zizhong, not only defeated Mai Zizhong, but also humiliated Mai Zizhong with the throat-cutting ceremony. After the Ju battle, Mai Zizhong withdrew from Luoyang and returned to Chang'an. Feng Zhidai was trying to vent his anger for Mai Zizhong! In the past, Yanqing and Feng Zhidai had no intersection, and a year after Ju battle, he escorted Changsun Wugui to Mount Emei to seek medical treatment, which was almost separated from the outside world. Even if Feng Zhidai was determined, he could not find any opportunity.

This time, Yan Qing came to Ye County to assist in the war.

Since Feng Zhidai met, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to vent his anger for his friends.

The young man's nature is not a big hatred. He stands up for his friends and is trying to break into his hands...

After Zheng Yanqing knew the reason, he lost his disgust towards Feng Zhidai. When he was a teenager, who could not do a few ridiculous things? Besides, standing up for his friends may not be considered ridiculous.

After the banquet passed, Zheng Hongyi said unwillingly: "Yan Qing, will he let him go?"

Zheng Yanqing said: "Forbearing for a while, the waves are calm and take a step back to broaden the sky. Feng Zhidai is also a kind person... Haha, if possible, I hope you will become friends with him. A person who can stand up for his friends may not be bad.

Besides, if we kill so many of him today, Feng Zhidai may not come to cause trouble for us again. It is very likely that General Manager Zhou will not let him stay in Ye County."

Although Zheng Hongyi was reluctant, since Yan Qing said so, he couldn't pursue it anymore.

In this way, the conflict between Zheng and Feng families came suddenly and went very suddenly.

On the third day of the conflict, Zhou Fa ordered the Feng family's hook and sickle soldiers to board three sea boats returning from Shabei City and head to Shabei City to assemble.

Regardless of whether Feng Zhidai was willing to leave, all the people from all walks of life who stayed in Ye County breathed a sigh of relief.

The conflict between these two major families is likely to evolve into a large-scale game between emerging aristocrats and Kanto clans. If it is not bad in normal times, this war is coming. If such a thing happens, it may have an adverse impact on the war.

One leaves, one is silent...

This is also the ending that everyone wants to see.

However, from this matter, many people saw Zheng Yanqing's extremely tough side again. When dealing with this matter, Yan Qing performed very appropriately and did not cheat at all. This made people sigh secretly: The former Young Master Goose has grown up!

On the 18th day of the 12th lunar month, the Zuo Xiaowei General Lai Huer sent military orders from Shabei City, ordering the clan regiments gathered in Ye County to board the ship and set off to Shabei City before the 22nd day of the 12th lunar month. At this time, nearly 10,000 clan regiments gathered in Ye County came to assist in the war. When the military orders came, people from all families set out one after another, and together with the platoons and crossbowmen who had previously left in Ye County, they set off one after another.

On the evening of the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, Zhou Fa summoned Zheng Yanqing overnight.

"Young Master Zheng, come to the general manager to send an order and order us to set out immediately and gather in Shabei City.

However, all the supplies have not yet arrived. Nowadays, there are many bandits in Henan, and Ye County is the foundation of our navy, so we must be treated with caution. I discussed with the general manager and planned to temporarily keep you in Ye County and be appointed as the commander of the brigade commander to assist Ye County in accepting supplies from all parties and preventing bandit attacks.

Before the tenth day of the second month, all the supplies were fully prepared. You escort the supplies and report to Shabei City. What do you think this arrangement is made?"

Zheng Yanqing was stunned and nodded immediately and said, "Just rely on the command of the general manager."

"Well, you and Xie Ke stayed in Ye County. In addition to the Xie Ke headquarters clan regiment, I will have another brigade of soldiers and horses with you, a total of 500 people. Zheng Hongyi and other clan lands will all go to Shabei City with the ship. After we leave, I will ask you and the two of you to worry about everything here."

Zhou Fashang's words were very polite, but Zheng Yanqing felt a different aura.

Why do you feel that someone wants to put him outside this war?

Left behind Ye County, it sounds nice to say in the Ming Dynasty, waiting for the baggage to be ready. But in fact, it is equivalent to marginalizing him and Xie Ke.

I gave a military position as a brigade coach, but it was actually a bullshit.

Is someone deliberately targeting himself? But why?

Yan Qing thought to himself, but his hands were not slow, and intervened, "I will obey the order of the general manager."

Zhou Fashang wanted to speak but stopped, and opened his mouth, as if he had something to say.

He hesitated for a moment, "If Zheng Lushuai has any objection to this arrangement, he can raise it."

objection?

There are indeed some!

However, being able to stay away from danger is what Zheng Yanqing thought. Although he was given the title of Yunqiwei, he was a humble person in this army and had no effect. Since someone didn't like him, why should he take the risk and put his warm face on his cold butt?

Therefore, Zheng Yanqing's face was calm and intervened: "There is no objection in the end!"

"actually……"

Zhou Fashang sighed, "Zheng Lushang's talent is well known to everyone. Judging from your methods of dealing with things over the past period of time, you are not a domineering and fearful death. But... you should stay in Ye County with peace of mind, and when I have the chance, I will talk to you about the general manager."

This is actually very clear.

I am not the one who has opinions about you, I personally admire you.

Just come to General Hu'er, and seems to have some opinions about you. Domineering and fearing death? Zheng Yanqing was stunned at first, and had roughly guessed the clues.

I'm afraid it was Zheng Xing who made slander in front of Lai Hu'er.

Compared to Zheng Xing's roots and Miaozheng, Zheng Yanqing's background is a side-spending, and it is hard to explain clearly.

Lai Hu'er is a person who values ​​family backgrounds very much. Even though Zheng Yanqing has outstanding talent and outstanding reputation, he is afraid that he will trust Zheng Xing more.

"Mr. Zhou, my cousin, is that good now?"

He asked tentatively.

Zhou Fashang's smile was as strong as a result, "Zheng Xing's martial arts skills are very good, and he is very popular with the general. Zheng Lushou does not need to worry about him."

This sentence shows how Lai Hu'er has an opinion on Zheng Yanqing.

Yan Qing smiled slightly, intervened and bowed, and left the central hall.

Ha, if you don’t go, you won’t go. Anyway, I wasn’t willing to trek into these muddy waters!

Zheng Yanqing did not go to his heart and returned to his residence happily. Xie Kejiu learned metaphysics and was not a person who was good at showing off.

It is a good choice to stay and be with Zheng Yanqing.

Therefore, Xie Ke did not show too much melancholy. Instead, Zheng Hongyi and Yan Qing were a little reluctant.

The next day, Zheng Yanqing sent Zheng Hongyi to the Five-Tooth Battleship.

Before leaving, he held Zheng Hongyi's hand and whispered: "Hongyi, you need to remember my words. Don't go too far in everything. This military merit will never be earned as long as you are alive. If you have an accident, no matter how great the credit is, it will be meaningless to me, Anyuantang."

Zheng Hongyi nodded vigorously and said softly: "Yan Qing, I keep your words in mind.

But don’t always stay in Ye County, so you should go to Shabei City earlier to meet me. As a villain comes, I will never let him go."

The so-called villain, of course, refers to Zheng Xing.

Zheng Hongyi is not a fool. Even though he is a little naive and innocent person, he has been trained in his mind when he grows up among the aristocratic families.

Of course he could see that there was something wrong with the arrangement this time.

Just inquire and you can guess a clue.

Zheng Yanqing smiled and said, "Don't worry about my affairs, and don't have any conflicts with Zheng Xing anymore. Just remember my words... Hongyi, soldiers are tricky, and the changes on the battlefield are changing for a moment, so you must not be careless. I will go as soon as possible and meet you."

Indeed, Zheng Yanqing and Zheng Hongyi bowed and said goodbye, watching him board the Shanghai ship.

It was dusk and the drizzle was drizzling.

In the distance, there are pine forests in the blue and scattered black clouds.

Black clouds sink on the tops of the tree, death is brewing, and a big storm is coming...
