Xu Maogong begged for mercy.
However, he did not know that he had not said anything at all.
That sentence just now was just something Luo Cheng made up.
"Hmph, I know what you mean even if you don't say it.”Luo Cheng snorted coldly." That's right…"
"Little Marquis!"
Xu Maogong suddenly shouted loudly. His face was full of tears."Don't say it, or else this matter will be blamed on me in the end!”
He was really afraid. Revealing the secrets of heaven could be big or small. It depended on what you were revealing.
There would not even be any consequences if it was not important.
However, he thought that what he had leaked was the fate of a country, enough to affect the fate of millions of people in the world!
If he said it, he would be chopped into pieces and leave a spot on the 18th floor of hell.
"Taoist priest, what do you mean…"
Luo Cheng's expression turned ugly when he was interrupted.
Xu Maogong thought that he had revealed the secrets of the heavens, so his expression was also ugly.
The two of them stared at each other.
In the end, Xu Maogong let out a long sigh."Little Marquis, please tell me how you can keep those words in your heart.”
Luo Cheng stopped smiling and his eyes flickered."I want you to be under my command.”
"Little Marquis, why are you doing this?" Xu Maogong suddenly understood. He bent down and said," I'm just pretending to be a ghost…"
"Emperor Wen…"
"Success!"
"What's done?" Luo Cheng blinked.”
"From today onwards, I, Duke Xu Mao, will follow the young duke. I will be at his beck and call, and I will do my best until I die!"”
"Good!"
Luo Cheng finally nodded in satisfaction.
He no longer mentioned that sentence, and Xu Maogong pretended that it had never happened. The two of them got along well for a while.
"Little Marquis, since I've already decided to follow you, then I must confirm just how much you know about your General Star, the White Tiger Star.”
On the stone platform in the courtyard, the two of them sat and chatted.
Xu Maogong pondered for a moment and slowly said.
Luo Cheng glanced at him and said with satisfaction,""Very good. If you really only promised to follow me verbally, then you are useless.”
"Don't worry, I know more about the White Tiger Planet than you do. I know what it means.”
As early as more than ten years ago, that cow-nosed man had told him everything from the inside out.
From then on, Luo Cheng knew that his life was definitely not a simple one.
Cough cough…How could a transmigrator be simple?
Even if there was nothing, he still had to find trouble.
Cause trouble, cause trouble.
Xu Maogong's gaze was faint, and he only nodded slightly at Luo Cheng's words.
"Alright, since the young duke has said so, then I won't say anything more.”He stroked his beard and asked," I wonder what Little Marquis wants me to do.”
"I want you…" Luo Cheng lowered his voice.
……
Qin Qiong woke up and saw Luo Cheng and Xu Maogong chatting.
However, what made him feel strange was that the Taoist priest seemed to have a faint sense of respect for his cousin. It was obvious that he did not have it yesterday.
The three of them met Tang Bi again.
He had woken up early and was dealing with the paperwork.
"Shu Bao, the memorial to appoint you as a Cloud Cavalry Captain has been sent to the Ministry of War. All you have to do now is wait.”Tang Bi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Qin Qiong cupped his arms and said gratefully.”
"Hey, we're family.”
Tang Bi looked at Xu Maogong." Taoist priest, you're very heroic. I wonder if you're interested in working in Jinan. You can choose any position you want."”
No matter the time and place, people who drank freely could always arouse good feelings.
This was especially true for those who could not hold their liquor, but were still very forthright.
Tang Bi liked Xu Maogong's performance yesterday.
He was a straightforward person.
Xu Maogong was stunned for a moment, then he bowed."Thank you for your appreciation, sir…but I'm afraid that I'm not used to official life, so I'm sorry.”
"That's a pity. I'll have to drink with you again next time." Tang Bi said regretfully.”
Xu Maogong's expression changed.
One time drinking, he had already sacrificed himself. There was still a next time?
Hehe, it doesn't exist!
"By the way, Uncle Bao, where are you from?”Tang Bi asked," Yesterday, we only confirmed your position, but we haven't assigned you the specific tasks yet.”
"Of course, if you don't want to care about these things, you don't have to be assigned. You just have to hang the title of Cloud Cavalry Captain.”
In other words, he only took money and did not do anything.
Qin Qiong was not such a person.
He replied,"I'm from Licheng, Shandong. If you have anything to say, just tell me."”
"Alright, then I'll appoint you as the commander of Li City's army. You'll be responsible for management and recruitment.”Tang Bi thought for a moment and said with a serious expression.
Qin Qiong cupped his fists.”
"Senior Brother, if someone in the army violates the military law, can they be punished by themselves?" Luo Cheng said faintly.”
Tang Bi was stunned." Of course you can," he said immediately." But if there are people who violate the military law, Shu Bao can kill them first and report them later. Senior Martial Brother won't blame you."”
"That's good."
Luo Cheng nodded in satisfaction.
At the very least, he knew what the soldiers in Li City looked like.
Even if this was a fantasy world, there was still a difference, but it was probably not something good!
Having the full strength to act first and report later, Qin Qiong would have it much better.
Sometimes, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys would have a significant effect.
The three of them left the regional governor's mansion.
When he reached the door, Xu Maogong suddenly stopped.
"Shu Bao, Little Marquis, since Shu Bao has returned to Li City and won't leave in the future, this Penniless Priest's mission is finally completed.”He bowed and said," Let's say goodbye here today. This Penniless Priest should also go and do what this Penniless Priest should do."”
Luo Cheng's expression did not change, but Qin Qiong said in astonishment,""Daoist Priest, aren't you going back with us?”
"All good things must come to an end." Xu Maogong smiled."After being in the Qin Clan for so many years, he has finally left."”
Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment, but still said,""Although a gentleman should help others succeed, and since Duke Mao wants to leave, I naturally shouldn't stop him. Why don't you go home with us first and tell my mother before leaving?”
"Otherwise, if my mother knew that you left me but didn't keep you, she would definitely blame me.”
Xu Maogong laughed heartily when he heard this." Hahaha, that's not bad either. If Auntie blames you, then I've gained something these days."”
Qin Qiong was speechless.
The Taoist priest actually had such a bad taste.
With that said, he didn't try to persuade him to stay any longer. He cupped his hands and said,"Then Taoist priest, the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will meet again if fate permits.”
Xu Maogong clasped his hands with a solemn expression.
"Shu Bao, Little Marquis."
"We will definitely meet again one day."
"Farewell."
Looking at the back view that slowly left, Qin Qiong shook his head with emotion.""Taoist priest is really a master!"
Luo Cheng only pursed his lips.
……
He left Jinan City and returned to Li City.
Licheng was a small town in Jinan, Shandong Province. It was not big. There were more than 170 such towns in Jinan.
When Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong returned home, Madam Ning asked about Xu Maogong's whereabouts.
"Aunt, the Taoist priest is like a cloud and a crane in the wild. It's already rare for him to be able to take care of you here for a few months.”Qin Qiong smiled and said," Now that I'm back, it's natural for you to leave.”
Mrs Ning blamed him.
Qin Qiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, Mrs Ning only said it out loud. She understood this matter very well and did not make things too difficult for Qin Qiong.
He left the room and walked towards the wooden house beside him.
"Cousin, how is it? Are you satisfied with your stay here?”Qin Qiong pushed open the door and saw Luo Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, lying on the bed with his arms as a pillow. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Luo Cheng looked at him disdainfully." We've already stayed for a night. Don't you think it's a little hypocritical of you to ask this again?"”
"Hahaha."
"Cousin is concerned about you."
Qin Qiong said with a smile.
Luo Cheng flipped over and stood in the room with his hands behind his back."This room is not bad, but it seems that this family left in a hurry and did not take anything with them.”
"Of course, when Aunt Cheng's family fled back then, they left in a hurry and left all these things behind.”
Mrs Ning walked in and recalled the past.
Luo Cheng's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he quickly hid it.
Sure enough, the room he was staying in was the room that Cheng Yaojin's family used to live in.
In the original plot, Li Rongrong was supposed to live here, but that day, he let Qin Qiong see Li Rongrong's true colors.
Although he couldn't be sure what kind of person the other party was, with his appearance as capital, he definitely couldn't escape.
Therefore, the other party naturally could not come here according to the original plot.
Cheng Yaojin…was a lucky general with a good heart and strong strength.
Moreover, the other party was close to Qin Qiong.
Such a person was undoubtedly a talent to be the vanguard of an army.
Thinking about it, if he were to conquer the world in the future, with Qin Qiong as the commander, Shan Xiongxin as the general, and Cheng Yaojin as the vanguard…wouldn't he be invincible?
Thus, Luo Cheng had the intention of subduing the other party, but he still had to think carefully about how to operate it.
"Aunt Cheng's family?" He pretended to be curious and asked," Who is that?”
"It's the master who took us in back then.”Qin Qiong replied.
"Yes." Mrs Ning said," When Jeju City fell, the Zhou soldiers chased after Qiong 'er and me. It was Aunt Cheng who took us in despite the danger.”
"In order to save Qiong 'er, he even killed a soldier. He had no choice but to leave Li City and live in a foreign land.”
Mrs Ning was a little emotional when she talked about what had happened back then.
"Biting gold?"
"Who is that?" Luo Cheng asked again.”
"He's Aunt Cheng's son."”
The three of them walked to the table.
"We grew up together, studied together, and practiced together. Cousin, look, this bowl is what he uses to eat.”
Qin Qiong pointed at a large basin and said.
"Pfft…"
Luo Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.”
Speaking of biting gold, Qin Qiong could not help but laugh.""The appetite of Yaojin is indeed big. Back then, Aunt Cheng spent a lot of effort to feed him.”
Even Mrs Ning laughed."This kid might have eaten. He likes to eat the most. Usually, he eats enough for five people. Aunt Cheng felt that it was annoying to add more food to him, so she specially went to the street to buy a big bowl.”
Luo Cheng nodded.
It was quite interesting to hear about Cheng Biting Gold.
He looked around the room and his eyes suddenly lit up. He walked forward and took down a wooden axe hanging on a pillar.
"Then Cheng Yaojin uses an axe?"
Although the axe was made of wood, it was not light. It probably weighed 70 to 80 pounds.
"Cousin, how did you know?" Qin Qiong asked in surprise.
"Don't you have a pair of wooden maces in your room? And here is a wooden axe.”
Luo Cheng replied casually. He held the axe in one hand and waved it casually.
Immediately, several axe shadows appeared.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that your brother has been strong since he was young. When he grows up, he should also be a martial arts expert known for his strength.”
"The wooden axes and wooden maces were made by Uncle An for us to practice.”Qin Qiong explained," The wooden mace is still alright, only about 20 pounds. The wooden axe used to bite the metal is different.”...
"Uncle An saw that Yaojin was born with great strength. This wooden axe is made of special wood and weighs 76 pounds.”
Qin Qiong smiled and shook his head." It's also fortunate that Bite Gold has a big appetite and great strength. Otherwise, with his age at that time, he wouldn't be able to swing this wooden axe."”
Mrs Ning also walked up and said emotionally,""So many years have passed. I wonder if Yaojin is doing well.”
"This child is good at everything. He can endure hardships and is filial. He is born with a chivalrous heart, but his memory is not good. After reading the Thousand Character Classic for a few years, he only remembers the first three lines.”
Luo Cheng immediately burst into laughter.
Different from the novels, Cheng Yaojin here was not practicing his axe in his dreams, only to be awakened in the end and remember three moves.
Cheng Yaojin knew the complete Tiangang Axe, but he couldn't learn it completely because his brain was too simple.
Therefore, he only learned three moves.
However, fortune and misfortune depended on each other. It was precisely because he only knew these three moves and used them to the acme of perfection that he had such strong combat strength.
"Does cousin know where Cheng Yaojin and his family are now?”he asked.
Qin Qiong and Mrs Ning looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time."Sigh, we don't know either."
"Cousin, Aunt, why don't…I help you look for it?"”
The two of them were stunned. Mrs Ning asked suspiciously,""Cheng 'er…can we find him?"
"Yes, I can."
Luo Cheng said with certainty.
Cheng Yaojin and Aunt Cheng hadn't changed their names, and he knew that they had been in Jinan for so many years. They had just changed to a small town.
In this situation, it was very easy to find him.
In the sixteen counties of Beiping, if he really wanted to find someone, there was no situation where he could not find them.
It was still the same sentence. The King of Beiping, Luo Yi, was the uncrowned king of this land!
"Really…"
Mrs Ning was still suspicious.
After all, she had never learned anything about the King of Beiping for so many years.
Therefore, he did not know how strong the Prince of Beiping was.
However, Qin Qiong was different. He had already seen it at Tang Bi's place, and he immediately became excited when he heard that."Then I'll have to trouble cousin!"
"Alright, I'll handle this matter personally.”Luo Cheng finally revealed his purpose.
He wanted to personally find Cheng Yaojin and subdue him!
"Cousin, then you can only go alone to the military camp in Li City tomorrow.”
"Yes, no problem." Qin Qiong raised his head proudly." Watch how Cousin trains an elite soldier for you!”
"Oh…I'll be waiting then.”
Luo Cheng still wanted to tell Qin Qiong that it was fine as long as he encountered those soldiers and ruffians. Since that was the case, then forget it.
He wanted to see Qin Qiong's dumbfounded look when she came back tomorrow.
……
The night was silent.
The next morning, under Madam Ning's expectant gaze, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng split up.
"Little Marquis, we've already found out that the person you're looking for is in Turtledove Town.”
Luo Cheng rode on a tall horse. After taking two steps, a figure appeared in front of him and cupped his hands.
"Oh, Turtledove Town…"
Luo Cheng narrowed his eyes and thought about it. This seemed to be the place in the original plot.
"Alright, you may leave."
The figure did not move. He continued," Young Marquis, the Marquis is asking you why you are using the intelligence network. Are you going to answer truthfully?"”
"Yes, of course I will answer my father truthfully.”Luo Cheng said calmly. He thought about it and added," Tell him that I'm looking for an invincible vanguard for our army in the future.”
"Yes, sir!"
Only then did the figure leave.
"Turtledove Town…"
"Giddyup!"
Elsewhere, in the wilderness of Turtledove Town.
A figure that was like a small mountain slowly walked over.
This was a big fatty. He was big and burly, with big shoulders and a round waist. His legs were thick and sturdy, as if he could run a horse.
On his shoulder was a seventy-foot-long Mountain Splitting Flower Axe. The handle of the axe was tied with a string, and the other end of the string was tied to a mountain-like piece of wood. He was dragging it.
He yawned as he walked.
"I've almost finished cutting down my favorite mountain. If I want the wood to grow back, I'll have to wait ten days.”
As soon as they entered Turtledove Town, groups of people immediately surrounded them.
These people called out to the servants and quickly moved away the mountain-like firewood.
"Same old rules. Whoever pays today, stand out consciously. Otherwise, this axe of Old Cheng will not recognize you.”
Cheng Yaojin said casually.
