Chapter 5 Three Birds

Xue Chongxun glanced at the man lying on the ground with his hair disheveled, and pondered: You have killed someone, and the evidence is conclusive.I can save you from your death penalty, but you can't escape the death penalty. Let's just exile... Our Shanzhou is a border, and it's time to hire people, so I will exile you here and continue to lead the troops...

Zhang Qi, the judicial officer, was stunned and speechless.Chen Shitang's ancestors were originally from Shanzhou. Are they guilty of exile or exile to their hometown?

Chen Shitang was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and said, "I thank the lord for not killing me for not killing me, and I hope to work hard for the sake of the dog and horse in front of the saddle!"

Xue Chongxun said again: I asked about the situation of the garrison yesterday. There is a swimming camp in Shanzhou. The three regiments are all composed of criminals exiled here. You should take charge of the swimming camp as a crime.

Originally, Xue Chongxun wanted to release Chen Shitang directly, but after thinking about it, it was more appropriate to let him bear the charge.

When he first arrived in Shanzhou, Xue Chongxun was actually very cautious.

He had thought about the pros and cons of killing the chief secretary yesterday, but the only thing he was so arrogant that he was quite a bit of Yang Xiu's virtue; Xue Chongxun first checked the background of the chief secretary in the name of investigating corruption and found that there was no background or family.

So he ordered a knife to cut the matter.

Now the case of Chen Shitang involves another prominent local clan, Zhou family. Xue Chongxun has to be careful. He offended the influential local clan for no reason. Isn’t it that he is full?

But Xue Chongxun believes that Zhou did so many things and did not hesitate to make a grudge with the Chen Shitang family, it is definitely not for avenge for a woman, but for the purpose of protecting the reputation of the Zhou family. It is such a bad reputation for his married daughter to commit adultery!

So they have to cleanse their reputation.

Therefore, Xue Chongxun asked Chen Shitang to continue to commit murder on his back, which made Zhou's reputation a success, which was the best of both worlds.

After saying this, Xue Chongxun turned around and said to Zhang Qi: Unlock his chain in a while and let it go.After saying that, he turned around and left.

After walking out of the dungeon, Wang Changling said with some relief: The lord is really clever.

Where did you come from killing three birds with one stone?Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment, not thinking it through.

The group returned to the sign-in house and was struggling for a while, it was already noon, and they just happened to have lunch from the public.

When Xue Chongxun finished his meal and rinsed his mouth and drank tea, a servant came in to report: Chen Tuanlian and his sister asked for a visit to the envoy.

Thanksgiving must have come, Xue Chongxun thought to himself while coming in.

After a while, a man and a woman stepped into the threshold of the signing room. After coming in, they knelt down without saying a word and bowed down, naturally thanking Xue Chongxun for saving his life.

Xue Chongxun looked at the woman calmly. He was not lustful, but curious about what the girl Chen Shitang controlled was like.

I saw that Chen Zhenzhen was not pretty, with a faint blush on her cheeks. Shanzhou is windy and sandy, and many women have this characteristic. Although it looks like a blush at first glance, it does affect her appearance.

Her eyebrows are also very thick and have thick eyebrows and big eyes. Fortunately, her skin is fair compared to locals, so she likes her eyes.

I also saw that Chen Shitang's eyebrows, eyes and nose looked very similar to his sister...

Xue Chongxun was puzzled and thought dirtyly, would Chen Shitang be intimate with such a woman with a similar appearance have an illusion?

Xue Chongxun stood up from the screen with the claws of beasts painted, and said nothing to the brother and sister kneeling in the middle of the house. He only said to a follower beside him: Go to the inner house and call Cheng Ting out to talk to the Chen family’s little lady.

After saying that, he walked to Chen Shitang and said, "Don't kneel here, just come out with me."

Chen Shitang got up in confusion and followed Xue Chongxun to the yard of the second hall.At this time, Xue Chongxun asked without looking back: What weapon should you use?

Chen Shitang bowed and said: "I am using a horse spear on the battle formation."

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: Very good. Generally speaking, people from a military family will use this as a symbol of their identity.

He walked to the front of a row of wooden racks and pulled out a long weapon, which was 180 meters long. It took three years to manufacture, light, tough and strong.

After saying that, he took off the horizontal knife from his waist and gently tapped the gun body with the back of the knife. He heard a few clangs. Although it was the body of the zhemu gun, it made a sound of metal hitting.

Xue Chongxun played with it for a while, then threw the horse spear in his hand at Chen Shitang. Such a long gun can only exert its power on the horse. You can pick a horse and play with me.

Chen Shitang said in surprise: If you have no eyes on the sword and gun, you may hurt your lord.

Xue Chongxun laughed and pointed at him with a scabbard and said: Your tone is too loud. I think I dare not say that before Tangtuan practiced!Let’s come here!

As he spoke, he walked out of the stable and pointed to a thin horse, and walked around the yard to get in with the horse.

Seeing that he was already in high spirits, Chen Shitang couldn't help but choose a tall horse, and flipped on the horse and smiled: "Lord, don't you look down on a humble position?"If you deliberately choose such a bad horse, then you will give in.

Xue Chongxun slowly pulled out the horizontal knife and said with a smile: You will know in a while that I am a pirate.Stop talking nonsense, please be optimistic, go!

He raised his hand and threw away the newly taken off the roe shirt and wore only a piece of white satin. He kicked the horse's belly and rushed towards him.

It's just right!

Chen Shitang raised his horse's lance.

The front end has a fine steel spear head and the back is equipped with a red copper spear. It can maintain balance just like the scales and pans at both ends of the pole, so you don’t have to work too much when lifting it.

The spear increased its horse, and the charge with its horsepower was like a heavy chariot, rushing around.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun turned his horse and ran away, not hedging him.He sat down the horse with no strength, but it was very flexible and it was quite easy to pull the horse.

Cheng Ting also came out at this time. She and Chen Zhenzhen had already met. Before the two women could even meet, they were attracted by the dusty scene of swords and guns in the yard. However, when they saw the two men playing with swords and guns, they were also watching with some anxiety.

Xue Chongxun also noticed that there were beautiful girls watching the game, and he felt very happy. This scene made him feel like he was back on the court when he was a student in his previous life, just because there were girls watching next to him and sweating profusely.

He was very energetic, and after turning twice, he finally got around to the back of Chen Shitang. He took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and rushed over.

After the two riders approached, Xue Chongxun's horse head faced the left side of Chen Shitang, and the impact effect of his horse spear was gone.

Chen Shitang saw Xue Chongxun leaning over and hurriedly swept the horse spear in his hand to stop Xue Chongxun from moving closer.

Bang!

Xue Chongxun raised his knife to block it, and suddenly felt a numb mouth, and his power was really great.

But after blocking it, the situation reversed. The horse spear was too long and stupid, and it was inconvenient to rotate. Xue Chongxun slid the horizontal knife that was chopping the gun downwards, and the mount continued to lean forward.

Seeing that the horizontal knife was about to cut Chen Shitang's hand, Chen Shitang quickly let go of one hand. When the blade approached the other hand, he took the opportunity to change hands and broke this move.

Xue Chongxun smiled, held the handle of the knife in both hands and gently pulled it into Chen Shitang's arms. The ground was blocked by the handle of the gun. Xue Chongxun was about to send the tip of the knife forward...

Now Chen Shitang cannot do this trick no matter what.

However, Chen Shitang's body suddenly tilted and rolled off the horse, and then he hit Xue Chongxun's sitting horse chest with his shoulder.

Chen Shitang was not very strong, but he was very strong. Xue Chongxun's pony was frightened and threw him off the horse.

Xue Chongxun got up, spit out a mouthful of sand and said angrily: You are actually cheating!Now we are fighting in the middle of the battle, I see how you fight me with a horse spear.

Chen Shitang buried his head and saw that his waist was empty and said bitterly: I have admitted defeat.

Xue Chongxun laughed: You are not my opponent by cheating.

Chen Shitang said depressedly: I just went to the sword, otherwise the outcome would not be decided.

At this moment, his sister Chen Zhenzhen interrupted: Brother is not the opponent of the envoy, why are you stubborn? Humph!

The officials and servants around him hurriedly cheered when they saw this, and then they flattered him and came...

Chen Shitang brought the horse over and bowed his fists.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly put away his sword and bowed back to his fists. General Chen admitted it and bowed to each other.

Chen Shitang gradually came back from his nervousness and concentration just now and began to flatter, but he, a person who had been a group training, was naturally higher than those small officials, and he was simply seamless. If this thing reaches a certain level, it cannot be considered a flattery.

He said: I didn't expect that the envoy was very good at military affairs.

Xue Chongxun remembered the two major defeats he had fought and said in shock: What do you mean?

Chen Shitang said seriously: Our Tang army's main war horse team is mainly cavalry wearing two armors and holding spears. It has a strong impact, but its spiral and maneuver are inferior to those of the homeless people, so it is equipped with a flexible "Hu Qi Battalion" to be responsible for vigilance and reconnaissance.The lord's horse spear that I dealt with just now was using the tactics of the Hu cavalry camp of the Tang army. It has a profound meaning and makes people think deeply.

That's right?Xue Chongxun glared and said, Chang'an Imperial Guards do not have the configuration of Hu Qi Battalion, I heard of this thing for the first time.

Chen Shitang was suddenly a little embarrassed and hesitated to deal with it.

Xue Chongxun smiled heartily and said: But you made me feel very comfortable in my heart. Stay here for a few drinks later... Shaowang, come too.

Several bureaucrats chatted in the yard for a while, and the relationship between Cheng Ting and Chen Zhenzhen was also developing rapidly. Before the men could call each other brothers, they were already called sisters.

Before the hour of You, Xue Chongxun took the Chen brothers and sisters back to the inner house to drink, completely ignoring government affairs.

The atmosphere was harmonious and happy. Cheng Ting had to cook a few dishes for everyone on a whim. Chen Zhenzhen also said that she had cooked a few special dishes in Shanzhou. After a while, the chef had made the banquet, and the kang was placed slowly, with the bowls and plates overlapping and rich.

Chen Shitang came from a military general family and knew nothing about poetry, songs and essays. Of course, he could not talk about literature and ink, so he started talking about military affairs.

Speaking of the attacks of Hezhou and Yaozhou and other places by Tubo Tuyuhun cavalry and breaking several counties, Wang Changling couldn't help but ponder: The bright moon was bright during the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty was pass, and the people had not returned the Long March.But the flying general in Longcheng was not allowed to teach Hu horses to cross Yinshan.
