Chen Laosan did not stop Chen Yingliang from going to Qiaojun to take office this time. This is not because Chen Laosan no longer cares about Chen Yingliang's safety, but because Chen Laosan doesn't even know where Qiaojun is. He only knows that Shandong is currently in chaos.

But I don’t know that Qiaojun is currently also

Chaos had gradually begun. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty agreed to send Chen Yingliang to Qiao County in order to quell the rebellion and suppress the bandits. Therefore, Chen Laosan accepted Chen Yingliang's request with confidence and remained in Daxing to take care of Chen Yingliang's family property and wait for Chen Yingliang's return.

Among the fifty or so servants, Chen Yingliang only chose ten more skilled and strong servants to go with him, including Ma Sanbao, the future famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and Chen Sangou, an old neighbor of Chen Yingliang - that is, when the dead ghost Chen Yingliang hanged himself,

I'm going to beat up that little bitch from the Chai family.

Originally, his brother Er Gouzi also wanted to follow his old neighbor Chen Yingliang to work in Qiao County, but Chen Yingliang considered that Chen Laosan was too old and had to have reliable people around him, so he asked Er Gouzi to stay in Daxing to take care of Chen.

The third child only took Chen Sangou, who was the same age as himself, to Qiaojun.

Now Chen Yingliang no longer needs to sell any engagement tokens for travel expenses. It is of course easy to prepare for the trip. The most troublesome thing is to say goodbye. First, he has to say goodbye to old acquaintances such as Wei Xuan and Pang Yu, and beg them to take care of his family at all times. As a result,

Naturally, this attracted Wei Lao’s stubborn attitude.

Through nagging, Chen Yingliang was asked to be stable, mature, prudent and careful, not to be careless and not to take risks and take credit. The nagging almost rubbed calluses out of Chen Yingliang's ears. In the end, he had to thank Old Wei for his stubborn guidance.

A whole day was wasted at Old Stubborn Wei's house.

Then of course I bid farewell to my good friends Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. Although these two men are not as nagging as Wei Lao stubborn, they are not fuel-efficient lamps. They gave Chen Yingliang some excuses to practice, and drank Chen Yingliang for most of the day.

, made Chen Yingliang, who had a mediocre capacity for drinking, get drunk again.

Drunk, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. At the same time, Chen Yingliang had to repeatedly ask Fang and Du to come to Qiaojun to have a party with him when they were free. As a result, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui agreed to the request, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown.

Only they themselves can know.

The most troublesome thing is to go to Gao Shilian's house to say goodbye. First of all, you have to give junior salutes to a large group of elders, and endure their nagging and instructions that are more terrifying than the stubborn old Wei. You can't escape or hide, and you have to keep nodding in agreement.

, be open-minded and be taught. In addition, meet with my fiancée, eldest grandson Xiaoluoli

It is also a very troublesome thing for Chen Yingliang. As the de facto contemporary Chen Shimei, in front of a gentle and virtuous young fiancée who is only as tall as his own chest, no matter how thick-skinned he is, Chen Yingliang almost elopes with another woman just because of his regrets.

I also felt extremely embarrassed and extremely guilty.

Fortunately, the eldest grandson, Xiaoluoli, has absolutely nothing to say in terms of character. Not only did she not complain about spending too little time together with her fiancé, she was very considerate and did not tire Chen Yingliang with nagging and admonitions. When the two were alone for a short time,

Xiao Luoli blushed and handed a sachet to Chen Yingliang, and said shyly: "I made it by myself. It contains

There is a peace charm that my mother and I prayed for for you." Then, Xiao Luoli boldly kissed Chen Yingliang gently on the face, said, "I'll wait for you," and then ran away with her face flushed, leaving behind

Contemporary Chen Shimei and Chen Yingliang were in a daze with guilt - he couldn't even figure out why he had decided to abandon such a good fiancée?

The only person in the Gao family who did not cause trouble to Chen Yingliang was Changsun Wuji. He only asked about the departure date and agreed on a meeting place, and then did not bother Chen Yingliang, and even shared a lot of pressure for Chen Yingliang——

After being nagged by my grandmother, aunt and my mother for a long time, I dutifully shared the joys and sorrows with my future brother-in-law Chen Yingliang.

After being pestered at Lao Gao's house for another day, on the first day of his departure, Chen Yingliang went to visit a special guest again - this time Yun Dingxing, Shaoqing Yun, who did not go on tour with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, used the excuse to say goodbye.

Apologize to Mr. Yun, the result is already

Yun Da Shaoqing, who had successfully developed cotton thread, of course burst out laughing. He opened his mouth to forgive Chen Yingliang for almost dragging him into trouble, and in turn thanked Chen Yingliang for giving him the opportunity to be rewarded for his meritorious service. Then Chen Yingliang revealed his true colors and used the excuse

For special purposes, I asked Yun Da Shaoqing about the manufacturing method of some thin metal tubes. Yun Da Shaoqing was indeed one of the best mechanical geniuses in the world. He immediately came up with a method for Chen Yingliang to make tubes by curling iron sheets and copper sheets.

Very generous to Chen

Ying Liang wrote a letter of introduction and asked Chen Yingliang to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to visit He Chou, another mechanical genius who was supervising the construction of dragon boats for Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty there, to see if He Chou had a better way. Chen Yingliang was overjoyed and told Yun

The young master thanked him again and again before leaving.

Everyone who should say goodbye said goodbye, and everything that should be prepared was prepared. On the fifth day of October in the ninth year of Daye, Chen Yingliang, who had not been home for two months, left Daxing again, leading a group of servants and brothers-in-law

Changsun Wuji went to Qiaojun to take office.

Because he was no longer strapped for money, Chen Yingliang generously chartered a pretty good passenger ship this time. He planned to enter the Yellow River via the Guangtong Canal, then go straight down to Luoyang from the Yellow River waterway, then turn into the Yongji Canal and go straight to Qiaojun. It was a smooth journey all the way.

Go to your destination and take up an official position.

Of course, the old Chen family and the old Gao family came to the pier to see Chen Yingliang off. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also came very loyally, and Pang Yu, who had been saved by Chen Yingliang, also came. Of course, they joined forces.

Giving Chen Yinghao a lot of nagging advice, the specific content is too wasteful.

Water is not nutritious, so I won’t mention it. Anyway, after finally listening to all this nagging, Chen Yingliang glanced at his little fiancée again with guilt, and whispered to his eldest grandson Xiaoluoli, who had been silent, take care, and then

He boarded the boat and ordered the boat to set off.

Before the matter was over, while the boatman was still setting sail, another special friend came to the pier on horseback. He shouted to stop sailing before he was far away. This special friend was none other than Chen Yingliang, his father and brothers.

Li Jiancheng had a feud. Again, Chen Yingliang had always had a good impression of Li Jiancheng, and due to some circumstances it was necessary to maintain an apparently friendly relationship with Li Jiancheng, so Chen Yingliang did not hesitate and immediately asked the boatman to stop temporarily and jumped on board again.

At the pier, Li Jiancheng was greeted and saluted.

"Brother Yingliang, Brother Yu just found out that you went to Qiao County today." Li Jiancheng handed a package to Chen Yingliang and said solemnly: "This is a small favor from Brother Yu. Let's talk about the travel expenses for the virtuous brother. Please help me."

I must accept it, brother."

Chen Yingliang refused to accept the politeness, but Li Jiancheng refused to give up, and said solemnly: "Brother Xian, please accept it. This is Brother Yu's private money and has nothing to do with his father, second brother, and the others. Brother Yu knows about you and them.

But they are them, and I am me. I have always treated you as a good friend from the first time I met you. Brother Xian, please believe Brother Yu’s words. I really didn’t know anything about them and you beforehand."

Chen Yingliang was silent for a moment, and finally took the heavy package and said with the same solemn expression: "Brother, I'm not polite. Please believe what I said. I have never resented you.

The friendship between you and me has never been affected by anyone or anything."

"That's right." Li Jiancheng finally showed a smile, raised his hand to Chen Yingliang and said, "Dear brother, please take care of yourself."

"Brother, take care." Chen Yingliang nodded and said with rare sincerity: "Brother, please remember my heartfelt words. You are kind-hearted and honest. This is a good thing. However, you must be on guard against others. I am you.

Role model, don’t make the same mistake as your younger brother.”

"Wise Brother's advice, Foolish Brother will definitely keep it in mind." Li Jiancheng nodded and replied solemnly - but only God knows whether Li Jiancheng can really remember Chen Yingliang's heartfelt warning, and whether his fate in the future will still be as miserable as in history.

After bidding farewell to his relatives and friends with tears, Chen Yingliang's boat set sail. It was already winter, and the north wind was strong. Chen Yingliang, whose destination was in the southeast, had a smooth sailing. It didn't take long for Chen Yingliang and his party to enter the Yellow River from Guangtong Canal, and then by

Due to the rapid current of the Yellow River, Chen Yingliang's speed was naturally faster. It only took a little more than four days in total.

On the morning of the tenth day of October, he arrived at Mengjin Ferry in the north of Luoyang. Because there were still some things that had to be done in Dongdu, Chen Yingliang ordered the boatman to dock at the dock and rest for a day before leaving the next day. Then he led Ma Sanbao and

Changsun Wuji boarded the dock directly, preparing to go to Luoyang City, more than 20 miles south, for business.

Chen Yingliang returned to the eastern capital Luoyang after more than two months. Chen Yingliang, who had made the first pot of gold in his life in this area, was of course a little sad. However, his brother-in-law Changsun Wuji was very excited and encouraged Chen Yingliang to rush to the camp of the Nationalist Army immediately to give him a hand.

The soldiers of the Patriot Army were surprised. Chen Yingliang was surprised

He shook his head and said, "I won't go. Firstly, I don't know where the current camp of the Patriot Army is, and secondly, to avoid making them sad again. When we enter Luoyang this time, we will go to visit two people. One is the Taifu Prime Minister He Chou.

, the second is my distant uncle Li Guogong, and no one else is alarmed."

"Brother, I think you'd better pay a visit to Fan Liushou and General Huangfu." Changsun Wuji, who was the future traitor after all, said very treacherously: "Visiting them will waste some time, but brother, don't

Forgot, Luoyang is the most important Sui town closest to Qiao County. It has plenty of money and food, and is accessible by the Yongji Canal. It has convenient transportation. If you have a good relationship with them, it may come in handy at a critical moment.

"You are a big kid, you are really good at scheming." Chen Yingliang scolded with a smile, and then said with a smile: "But it makes sense. General Fan Liushou and General Huangfu are good to me, and I have to go and see them. Sanbao, tell me

The people guarding the ship told them to wait patiently, we may not be able to come back tomorrow."

Ma Sanbao agreed and quickly conveyed Chen Yingliang's message to the people guarding the boat. He also greeted the boatman. Then Chen Yingliang and several others rode their horses south and trotted all the way to Luoyang. It didn't take long to arrive in Luoyang.

After entering Yangbeicheng, Chen Yingliang, who had a somewhat nostalgic personality, changed his mind temporarily and did not enter the city through the nearest Anximen. He led everyone to the Shangdongmen again, revisiting his old place, starting from the Shangdong where he had fought many bloody battles.

Gate into the city.

Such a detour gave rise to new troubles. When passing by the university grounds outside Luoyang City to the north of the East Gate, Chen Yingliang and others suddenly saw with some surprise that the banner of loyalty to the country written by Fan Zigai was floating on the campus.

At the same time, there was also a group of people wearing white robes.

The Sui army troops were practicing in the school field. Seeing this familiar scene, Chen Yingliang, who had originally not planned to leave sadly, changed his mind. Yu Jian got off his horse and whispered to Changsun Wuji and others: "Go and take a look, but

Don't make any noise, just watch them from a distance."

Changsun Wuji, Ma Sanbao and others all laughed, and quickly dismounted together. Following Chen Yingliang, who had changed from morning to night, he walked closer to the school grounds and looked at the training of the Nationalist Army from a distance. Because the only soldiers guarding the edge of the school grounds were ordinary Sui soldiers, Chen Yingliang raised his head

After lowering his hat on purpose, Yu Jian went to the school gate to watch closely.

For some unknown reason, just as he approached the gate of the school ground, the troops of the National Guard who were training in the school suddenly made some commotion. Chen Yingliang thought that the soldiers of the National Guard saw him and were so frightened that they quickly hid behind Ma Sanbao for fear of disturbing them.

After being trained by his former comrades, Chen Yingliang soon discovered that he was being sentimental. In the commotion, a reporter wearing brigade marshal uniforms

The brigade commander of the National Army dragged a soldier of the Nationalist Army towards the gate of the school ground. The soldier struggled and refused. As a result, the brigade commander Yu Jian raised the soldier with one hand above his head and rushed to the gate of the school ground in large strides.

He threw the soldier directly out of the school grounds, pointed at the soldier and yelled: "Go home and if you dare to come here again to cause trouble, I will tell dad what happened and see how dad deals with you."

After finishing the drink, the brigade commander strode back to the team. Some laughter also rang out from the National Guard troops, but Guo Feng's familiar loud voice also immediately sounded, and the laughter from the National Guard troops stopped suddenly, and then

The serious training started again. Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang, who had formed this army by himself, was inevitably extremely confused, because Chen Yingliang

Liang secretly saw behind Ma Sanbao that the handsome-looking brigade commander of the Baoguo Army in his early twenties had never seen him before and was definitely not the old Baoguojun man before. This made Chen Yingliang even more surprised and puzzled. The old Baoguojun man was

There are still more than 500 people, how can they tolerate a newcomer serving as one of the commanders of the Eighth Brigade to serve the country?

Surprised, Chen Yingliang naturally had to take a closer look at the soldier who was thrown out of the school grounds. As a result, the soldier who fell on his back just got up from the ground in a panic, and happened to see him again.

When Chen Yingliang looked at him closely and felt embarrassed, the soldier suddenly became furious and shouted: "What are you looking at? What is there to see?"

"Woman?" Chen Yingliang was completely dumbfounded, because although the soldier in front of him was wearing a military uniform and deliberately wearing some make-up on his face, he could not hide her charming appearance. At the same time, his voice was clear and sharp, and it was obviously a woman's voice. Loud

Shocked, Chen Ying's conscience was inevitably extremely depressed, "Huangfu Wuyi, Dugu Sheng, you are really a prodigal. What did you do to the Patriot Army that I finally trained?"

Thinking about his thoughts, Chen Yingliang's evil eyes were naturally not that of the girl in uniform. The girl in uniform was even more furious and scolded: "Look again? I'll dig out your eyes again."

"It's spicy enough." Chen Yingliang gave a bitter laugh and quickly turned his head away. The girl in military uniform snorted loudly, then wiped the dust off her body, and then turned to look at the troops of the Patriot Army in the school field, with her naturally rosy mouth.
