Another fiancée unexpectedly fell from the sky, and even hit Chen Yingliang directly on the head. Chen Yingliang was stunned at this moment, and he couldn't figure out why he suddenly had another fiancée? Or the fiancée who has already given the dowry? A fiancée who was so aggressive that he was almost tough
Pei Hongce! This name suddenly popped up in Chen Yingliang's mind, because Chen Yingliang knew very well that in the Eastern Capital City, there might be a few other people besides Pei Hongce who were willing to take care of such nosy matters for him, but they didn't even say hello. He is the only person who can directly make the decision for himself, get engaged and send a matchmaker to hire him without asking for opinions, and there is only a man like Pei Hongce! — After all, the title of uncle and nephew is not for nothing.
After thinking about this point, Chen Yingliang couldn't help complaining even more, "Uncle, uncle, you are doing something bad with good intentions, a pockmark is not a pockmark, but a cheater, I haven't figured out the matter with Yang Yu'er and eldest grandson Wugou. , won’t you bring me another future wife, won’t it make me even more troubled and helpless?”
After complaining, Chen Yingliang hurriedly told his brother-in-law and eldest grandson Wuji about his analysis. As a result, eldest grandson Wuji felt that Chen Yingliang's analysis was reasonable, so he immediately forgave his future brother-in-law who was really sorry for his sister, and said, "Brother, in this case , then we'd better go see Li Guogong first, if this is the case, then you should quickly explain to Li Guogong about you and my sister, otherwise, if this matter gets bigger, it will be even more difficult to end."
Chen Yingliang, who had suffered enough, nodded and lost interest in continuing to enjoy the training of the national army. He hurriedly led the crowd back on their horses and galloped into the city. Originally, Chen Yingliang wanted not to disturb anyone and entered the city in a low-key manner. Unfortunately, Chen Yingliang was in Luoyang, the eastern capital. The reputation of Chen Yingliang is too great, and that little white face is easy to remember, so when Chen Yingliang led the horse into the city, he was immediately recognized by the soldiers of the Sui army guarding the city gate, and the team headed directly rushed to the city. In front of Chen Yingliang, he said with ecstasy, "Chen Jishi, it's really you! You're back? Do you still remember me? We fought wars together!"
Chen Yingliang carefully looked at the Sui Army Zheng, and found that he was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember seeing him there, so he replied with a wry smile: "General, I'm sorry, I just remember that I should have seen you, but I really can't remember seeing you there." .”
"Chen Jishi, I remember." The team said excitedly: "On July 20, the army of rebels stormed Shangchunmen. You commanded us to fight and gave us speeches to encourage us. At that time, you told me yourself that This is the last battle of Shangchunmen, and the rebels have been defeated, so we don’t have to fight any more.”
Chen Yingliang nodded as if he had suddenly realized that he had remembered it, but he said in his heart that there were so many people at that time, how could I remember it? The Sui army was getting more and more excited, and turned to the gatekeepers and shouted: "Brothers, come and pay a visit to Chen Jishi, he is Chen Yingliang and Chen Jishi who led us to defeat Yang Xuangan's traitor in three months. Xiao Chen Qingzhi, the leader of the white-robed soldiers!"
Hearing this shout, the spectators surrounded Chen Yingliang in an instant. The soldiers of the Sui army who had participated in the Luoyang defense battle were even more excited than each other, chattering and saluting around Chen Yingliang. Saluting, greetings and greetings, caused chaos at the gate of Shangchun Gate. As a result, an even more coincidental thing happened. General Liu Changgong, who had a very good relationship with Chen Yingliang, happened to pass by the Shangchun Gate at this moment. When he saw the chaos at the city gate, he had to come to check the situation. When he was in front of him, Liu Changgong rubbed his eyes first, and then he yelled, "Little bastard, do you still have the face to come back?!"
After yelling, before Chen Yingliang saluted and greeted, General Liu grabbed Chen Yingliang, lifted Chen Yingliang like an eagle catching a chicken, and walked into the city, shouting: "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk to you!" Brother, I'm going home to drink, if you don't get me drunk today, don't even think about leaving the gate of my house!"
"Brother Liu, I still have something to do." Chen Yingliang struggled quickly and said, "I'm going to visit Uncle Pei, you can drink if you want, come with me to Uncle Pei's house, we'll drink there."
"Don't play tricks to avoid drinking!" General Liu said viciously: "Your uncle has gone to Jinyong City, and he may not be able to go home today. You go to my house to drink first, and then you go to see your uncle when he comes back!"
"Uncle, why is he going to Jinyong City?" Chen Yingliang asked quickly.
"Nonsense, of course I'm on business!" Liu Changgong said angrily, "Jinyong City was taken over by rebels, and our team destroyed many walls and houses when we took it back. Your uncle is Henan Zanzhi, and he will also serve as a prisoner. Supervisor, can rebuilding Jinyong City be without him?"
After finishing the explanation angrily, Liu Changgong still insisted on taking Chen Yingliang to drink at his own house. Chen Yingliang, who had a small capacity for alcohol, was also afraid of the big wine barrel, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, I have a business to meet with the Taifu Cheng." He Chou, He Fucheng, you must wait until I finish my business before drinking with you, otherwise, I will be in trouble when I get drunk."
Fortunately, Liu Changgong is not a general who eats nothing. Knowing that office work is more important than drinking, he gave up a step and did not force Chen Yingliang to drink with him immediately. He even volunteered to take Chen Yingliang to the imperial city to find He Chou. Chen Yingliang of General Liu was forced to have no choice but to change his mind about going to see Pei Hongce immediately, and arranged for Ma Sanbao, Changsun Wuji and others to deliver letters to Pei's family at Xiuyefang first, while he and General Liu went to the imperial city first. Seeing He Chou, and then going to Pei's house, Changsun Wuji, Ma Sanbao and others also reluctantly agreed, and General Liu arranged for entourage to lead Changsun Wuji and others without mentioning it.
Recounting the past with General Liu all the way to the Imperial City of the Eastern Capital, Chen Yingliang, led by Liu Changgong, easily found the Taifu Yamen, and relying on General Liu's eminent face, Chen Yingliang directly entered the Taifu, and I met He Chou, Zhengqing of the Taifu, who was supervising the construction of dragon boats for Emperor Sui Yang in the Eastern Capital. What surprised Chen Yingliang was that He Chou and He Guilin, the well-known mechanical geniuses of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, turned out to be a westerner with a high nose, deep eyes, and blond curly hair. Damn, the production technology of gunpowder weapons, don’t appear in the west because of me, right?”
Worrying is useless. Once gunpowder weapons appear in the Central Plains, they will spread to the West sooner or later. This is unavoidable. Chen Yingliang can only bite the bullet and explain his intentions to He Chou. As a result, Chen Yingliang immediately understands the disadvantages of this time. It may be a Westerner, because He Chou said proudly to Chen Yingliang: "Xu Changhou, you have found the right person to make hollow iron pipes like bamboo joints. In addition, I am afraid that the fourth person can do it. This technology is the original creation of our Western Regions, and it has never appeared in the Central Plains."
Chen Yingliang, who is not familiar with the history of steel, knew that the metal pipe was indeed the first in the West, but he really didn't know that the West had already produced metal pipes in this era. Overjoyed, Chen Yingliang blurted out: "He Fucheng, the Western Regions have already produced metal pipes. gone?"
"It was made a long time ago." He Chou flaunted: "At first it was lead pipes, and iron pipes were made more than two hundred years ago. The earliest iron pipes were first created by my Dashi ancestors."
"Then, please teach me how to make it. The lower officials must use these iron pipes." Chen Yingliang hurriedly made a request, and respectfully offered a thank you gift to He Chou.
For the sake of thanking the gifts, as well as for the letter of introduction from Shaoqing Yun and the face of General Liu, He Chou finally passed on the manufacturing technology of metal pipes to Chen Yingliang. A former copper rod is produced, and then molten iron juice is cast on the copper rod. After the iron juice is cooled and formed, the iron pipe is heated again, and the bronzed juice with a melting point much lower than that of iron flows out, and a metal pipe is also Ready to take shape.
After spending a lot of money to get this simple principle, Chen Yingliang was not only not distressed, but was very happy. He hurriedly thanked He Chou repeatedly. Although He Chou also asked why Chen Yingliang needed metal pipe manufacturing technology, Chen Yingliang of course did not answer truthfully. After finding a reason, he made it through, and then hurriedly followed Liu Changgong to leave—as a time traveler, Chen Yingliang certainly didn't want firearm technology to spread to the West too early.
Firearms manufacturing finally saw a ray of light. Of course, Chen Yingliang was in a good mood, and he didn't find any reason to refuse General Liu's invitation to a banquet. He pressed hard on the wine table and poured yellow soup. Fortunately, Pei Hongce won't be able to return to Luoyang for a while, so Chen Yingliang doesn't have to worry about being blamed by his uncle, and he can rest assured to have a drink with General Liu who is also very good to him.
While drinking, Chen Yingliang naturally had to ask Liu Changgong about the current situation of the Baoguo Army. Unfortunately, General Liu is a sloppy person, because the Baoguo Army has been directly controlled by Huangfu Wuyi and Dugu Sheng, so he is very displeased with the situation of the Baoguo Army. Concern, just knowing that the Baoguo Army has added some elite Sui troops, many of whom are elite Sui troops who have returned from the Liaodong battlefield, and the other General Liu doesn't know anything.
Of course, drinking with General Liu was not fruitless. After learning that Chen Yingliang went to Qiao County mainly to suppress the rebellion and suppress bandits, General Liu, who is quite commendable in treating friends, offered to do Chen Yingliang a small favor He offered to use his power as a general of Hu Benlang to obtain the list of soldiers, household registration and military exploits in Qiao County for Chen Yingliang, so that Chen Yingliang could collect veterans from the sixteen guards of the Sui Dynasty in Qiao County. Chen Yingliang was very happy thank. ——Here, it is a meritorious service for General Liu. Chen Yingliang can easily find out the list of government soldiers and household registration in the local area, but only General Liu can get Chen Yingliang's records of military exploits.
Unable to refuse General Liu's enthusiasm, Chen Yingliang originally planned to give up his life to accompany the gentleman to get drunk on the spot, but when he was half drunk, the savior came, and a messenger from Youwuwei rushed to General Liu's mansion, saying It was the group brawl that occurred in the immediate team under General Liu's command, and people were killed. In this way, General Liu had no choice but to apologize to Chen Yingliang: "Brother Yingliang, there is no other way, I have to go there, the matter is too big, if we don't deal with it quickly, Fan Liushou and Huangfu Wuyi will be killed." They can't spare me."
"It's okay, military affairs are important, brother Liu, go quickly." Chen Yingliang said hurriedly: "I should go to Uncle Pei's house too, brother Liu, you can go find me there later, and we can continue drinking there." General Liu agreed , the two hurriedly left the table and went to their own destinations.
It was also at this time that Chen Yingliang realized in astonishment that because of General Liu's entanglement, he was alone again, just like the first time he came to Luoyang, riding alone with a horizontal knife, alone on the street. Alone and no one cares. After shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Chen Yingliang didn't delay, and rushed to Xiuyefang where Pei Hongce's mansion was located.
Xiuyefang is in the south city of Luoyang, and General Liu’s mansion is in Sigongfang in the north city. The distance between the two workshops is quite far, and they have to pass a Luoshui bridge. Fortunately, Chen Yingliang is very familiar with the roads, and he rides a horse to save his foot strength. , It didn't take much time to go to the Luoshui Bridge, and went straight to the bridge to cross the river. But at this moment, a vaguely familiar crisp voice suddenly came from behind Chen Yingliang, shouting: "Get out of the way! I have something urgent, make way!"
"Why does the voice sound familiar?" Chen Yingliang turned his head subconsciously, feeling strange, but saw a girl in red riding a horse towards him, followed by a general of the Sui Army in white robes, who was also riding The fast horse galloped from north to south, as if there was something urgent. When he took a closer look at the girl's appearance, Chen Yingliang was dumbfounded. It turned out that this girl was not someone else, it just happened that Chen Yingliang had just met the girl in uniform by the school ground not long ago.
Stupidly stunned, the girl's horse had already rushed forward, Chen Yingliang hurriedly gave way, but Chen Yingliang's movement was a little slow and the girl's speed was too fast, and then the girl's horse directly hit Chen Yingliang's shoulder Next, because of inertia, the girl screamed and flew up into the air. Not counting the volley, the girl in the air reflexively opened her arms and hugged Chen Yingliang who was close in front of her. , took Chen Yingliang off the horse, and hugged Chen Yingliang tightly and rolled on the bridge.
Rolling on the ground is not enough, what makes the married man Chen Yingliang even more depressed is that the girl bumped into his horse, and even wrestled himself. After doing enough bad things, she ate Chen Yingliang's tofu and couldn't stop rolling on the bridge. Rubbing together with Chen Yingliang, the fragrant cherry kissed Chen Yingliang's face forcibly several times, and when the two of them finally stopped rolling, the girl hugged Chen Yingliang and pressed her under her, with a towering and full body. The chest was also tightly attached to Chen Yingliang's chest, like a female snitch picking flowers upside down.
The matter inevitably became serious, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Yingliang and the girl were surrounded by passers-by, and when they saw Chen Yingliang and the girl lying on the ground hugging tightly, the ambiguous appearance of the woman going up and the man going down, the crowd watching the bustle Suddenly there was a roar of laughter. Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Baoguo Army, whom Chen Yingliang had never met, rushed into the crowd and shouted, "Little sister, didn't you...? Ah? Why are you doing this? Little sister, get up quickly."
After being reminded by her elder brother, the girl who was still in shock realized that her ambiguous appearance with Chen Yingliang was too indecent, she quickly let go of Chen Yingliang and stood up with a blushing face, and kicked Chen Yingliang, cursing: "The pervert!"
"A prostitute?!" Chen Yingliang, who was in pain all over his body, also got angry, got up and retorted: "You hit my horse, you also hit me and wrestled me, took advantage of me and beat me , and finally called me a prostitute, are you still unreasonable?"
"It was you who blocked my way first, and I bumped into you!" The girl said with a blushing pretty face.
"This road belongs to your family?" Chen Yingliang became even more angry, pointing to the bridge deck and said, "It's such a wide bridge, and I didn't block all the roads. Why did you bump into me if you didn't take another road?"
"you… !"
The girl was furious and wanted to argue, and immediately clenched a pair of pink fists, so that the commander of the Nationalist Army stopped her in time, and said in a low voice: "Little girl, stop arguing, it's your fault, quickly apologize to him. "
"I apologize to him?" The girl was even more furious, and directly used her brother as a punching bag, roaring: "This bastard took advantage of me, and you still ask me to apologize, are you still my big brother?"
"That was an accident." The commander of the Baoguo Army frowned and said, "It's not like you don't know where we're going, so don't mess around, okay?"
"Girl, we all saw it. It was an accident." A narrow voice sounded from the crowd, and a tall and fat man cooed: "But it's okay, this little brother is also quite handsome, and he matches you just right. This accident is your fate." Ah, let's just form a family!"
Laughing everywhere, the girl's pretty face immediately flushed red, but the commander of the national newspaper army strode into the crowd without saying a word, grabbed the tall fat man with his left hand, and then lifted the tall fat man up When he got up, he was thrown out of the crowd without any hassle, just like throwing a bundle of straw, the fat man who weighed almost two hundred catties was thrown five or six feet away. As a result, the laughter among the onlookers of course stopped abruptly, and Chen Yingliang's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he exclaimed in his heart, "What a lot of strength! No wonder this kid can be a brigade commander. This strength can be reported to the national army." Who can compare?"
Fortunately, the commander of the Nationalist Army was a reasonable person. After throwing away the fat man who made fun of his younger sister, he bowed his hands to Chen Yingliang and said, "Brother, don't blame me, my little sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and she has a bad temper." Very bad, she was wrong just now, brother please forgive me."
After finishing speaking, the commander of the Baoguo Army took his and his younger sister's horses with one hand, and the girl with the other hand, and headed south. The girl glared at Chen Yingliang, waved her powder fist at Chen Yingliang, and threatened: " Boy, wait!"
"Wait and wait." Chen Yingliang muttered in his heart, and said to himself: "Uncle Pei, she must not be the fiancee you got me, I can't stand such a pungent little pepper."
With this in mind, Chen Yingliang, who was still in great pain all over his body, rubbed his hands and feet and got back on the horse, and continued to drive towards Xiuyefang. Fortunately, this time Chen Yingliang did not encounter any accidents on the road, and arrived at the very familiar Xiuyefang smoothly. , and then came directly to Pei Hongce's Li Guogong's mansion. As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door, the doorman rushed up to catch Chen Yingliang's horse rein, and while helping Chen Yingliang off the horse, he said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here. Madam and son are all very happy when they heard that you are back." , waiting for you at home."
"Where's uncle? I heard he went to Jinyong City, when will he be back?" Chen Yingliang asked.
"Master went to Jinyong City, but the young master has already sent someone to deliver the letter." Menzi replied truthfully: "Fortunately, Jinyong City is not far away. If all goes well, Master will be back in a while..."
"Prostitute! Why is it you again?!"
The crisp, sweet and pungent voice came again, and Chen Yingliang turned his head in surprise, only to see that pungent girl who refused to admit it to him just now rushed out of the house of his distant uncle Pei Hongce, and turned her head towards the door. Nei yelled loudly: "Father, it's this kid! It's this kid who bullied me just now!"
"What a coincidence?" A surprised voice came from the door, and then a middle-aged man in his forties strode out of the door, looked at Chen Yingliang with dignity, and asked loudly, "Who are you? Just now Why are you being rude to my daughter?"
"Brother! You're back?!" A joyful voice sounded, and Pei Hongce's only son Pei Xingfang rushed out from the side of the majestic man, rushed directly in front of Chen Yingliang, hugged Chen Yingliang and shouted excitedly, "Brother, you Finally came back, miss me to death!"
Chen Yingliang also liked Pei Xingfang, a distant cousin, so he hugged Pei Xingfang and laughed, praising Pei Xingfang for growing taller again. But the majestic man and the girl, as well as the astonishing soldier of the Nationalist Army who just came out of the door, all stared round their eyes and exclaimed together: "Xing Fang, do you know him?"
"Of course I do." Pei Xingfang laughed and said to the majestic man: "Uncle, let me introduce you. He is my elder brother Chen Yingliang, the famous little Chen Qingzhi Chen Yingliang."
"Sister Cuiyun, let me introduce you too." Pei Xingfang turned to the girl again, winked maliciously, and said with a smirk: "He is the Chen Yingliang you read every day, the little Chen Qingzhi my father told you about. !"
The father, son, brother and sister fell silent immediately. The pungent girl stared blankly at Chen Yingliang, yelled suddenly, covered her face and ran to Pei Hongce's house. The middle-aged man quickly smiled, looked at Chen Yingliang and nodded, He smiled and said, "That's right, he really is a good-looking talent."
"It's broken!" Chen Yingliang screamed in his heart, knowing that the worst result finally appeared.
