On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 106 Young Qin Qiong
Zhu'a County is adjacent to Licheng County and faces each other across the old road of Jishui. Because Licheng County is located in the south of Jishui, this is the origin of Jinan's name.

Pei Xiu led [-] horses and galloped, and arrived in Licheng County that day.

The Qin family of Qijun lived in Licheng for generations and was a prominent local family. Pei Xiu found Qin Ai's residence easily.

"This gentleman, please go back. My master has been repeatedly persuaded, but he has nothing to do. He doesn't want to be disturbed by ordinary affairs."

The steward who entered the door to report came back in a hurry, but the acting master refused.

Pei Xiu frowned and said:
"Can you make it clear to Duke Qin that it was Cui Shijun, the consolation ambassador of Henan Province, who invited him to enter the curtain, and he will be taught by Sima to help the disaster relief?"

"I dare not hide it, my master has made up his mind, and I hope you will forgive me."

For the sake of the three hundred well-armored cavalry behind Pei Xiu, the manager's attitude was very respectful.

Seeing that Qin Ai was shameless, the cavalryman Wang Qing who followed him shouted:

"Pei Changshi, don't tell them too much, let's go to the mansion and tie up that old man surnamed Qin to wish him well!"

As soon as the words were finished, an 11-year-old boy took a pole that was much taller than him and went out. He shouted:
"See who dares to invade my house and disturb my father's peace!"

Dozens of servants holding sticks poured out of the mansion one after another, confronting the three hundred black-armored knights. The servants' hands trembled slightly, apparently biting the bullet and rushing out following the young man in the mansion, but the young man was fearless.

Pei Xiu sat on the horse, bent over and looked at the young man in front of her.

I saw that although he was young, his eyes were bright, and the palms holding the lance were full of calluses. It can be seen that the lazy attitude of fishing with Cui Che for three days in martial arts and two days for drying the nets are two extremes.

Pei Xiu knew that this young man was Qin Ai's only son, Qin Qiong, and remembered Cui Che's entrustment, even if it was kidnapping, Qin Ai's family had to be tied up to meet him, and she also specifically confessed that Qin Qiong must not be let go.

Seeing Qin Ai's reluctance to apply, Pei Xiu straightened her body, raised her right hand, and the three hundred riders behind her all took their lances and prepared for battle.

Qin Qiong was fearless, but his eyes made Pei Xiu feel that the young man was eager to try, thinking about the three hundred black armored knights behind him for a while.

"stop!"

There was a shout from inside the mansion, and Qin Qiong reluctantly accepted Ma Qian after hearing the sound. Dozens of servants holding sticks each breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Pei Xiu was about to go out to meet the guests, she also ordered the three hundred knights behind her to put away their lances, and she immediately got off her horse.

A muscular middle-aged man in his late forties walked out of the gate of the Qin Mansion. It was Qin Ai, Qin Qiong's father.

Qin Ai and Pei Xiu greeted each other and sighed:
"Since Ai returned to his hometown with a confession, and lived quietly in Hengxiang, why did Pei Changshi push each other so hard?"

When Pei Xiu heard this, she said seriously:

"It wasn't me who forced the disaster victims to disperse and starve to death everywhere in Qingzhou. Cui Shijun has the heart to save Li Shu, but suffers from the lack of people under his tent.

"When I came to Qingzhou, I heard the name of Qin Gongxian, so I sent a handsome man to recruit him.

"If it wasn't for the emergency of the disaster, and you can't leave for a moment, Cui Shijun must come to the door to invite you in person to express your heart."

Qin Ai asked:

"If Qin sticks to his heart and refuses to become an official, what will happen to Pei Changshi?"

Pei Xiu turned around and glanced at the three hundred black armored knights behind her, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Qin is selfish and doesn't care about the life and death of the people of Qingzhou. Why should I treat each other with courtesy?"

Qin Qiong on the side heard the words and shouted:
"Don't use righteousness to oppress people, and don't even think about intimidating with words. If you want to force my father, first ask me, Qin Qiong's long spear!"

In the novel, Qin Qiong's most famous weapon is the family's double mace, but in fact, the children of the gentry who aspire to join the army have been practicing horse lance since childhood, and what they learned is horse-handling kung fu.

As the saying goes, one inch is long, and one inch is strong. The reason why Cui Che's cavalrymen use cavalry spears more is that most of them can't wield horses.

"Qione, shut up!"

Qin Ai turned her head and scolded.

Then she looked at Pei Xiu again:

"According to Pei Changshi's intention, if Qin doesn't go to Zhu'a, the family will suffer a military disaster today?"

Pei Xiu shook her head and said:
"I dare not, but my envoy sincerely invites you, and Duke Qin insists on refusing to invite him thousands of miles away. Pei can only invite Duke Qin to congratulate him first, and then envoy Cui to make a decision."

Pei Xiu pronounced the word "please" very heavily, and Qin Ai certainly knew what kind of invitation the so-called "please" was. Cui Che sent three hundred cavalry to accompany him, not just to serve as guards for Pei Xiu .

"Forget it! Qin will follow Pei Changshi to wish Ah and his party, and help Cui Shijun to rescue the disaster and the people."

Qin Ai finally let go, he turned to Qin Qiong and said:
"Qiong'er, take care of the family and take care of your mother."

"Wait a minute!"

Before Qin Ai finished speaking, she was interrupted by Pei Xiu:

"Maybe Mr. Qin misses his family, why not bring his wife and children with him, Cui Shijun will definitely arrange for him properly."

Qin Ai said angrily:

"Since Qin has applied for the recruitment, he will help him wholeheartedly. Why is Pei Changshi suspicious!"

"Duke Qin has misunderstood. Asking Duke Qin's family members to accompany him is not a hostage. It is to make you love Duke Qin and not bear to separate Duke Qin from his wife and children. Duke Qin, but please rest assured that no one will restrict Duke Qin's family when we reach Zhu'a. free."

Pei Xiu quickly explained, in fact, he didn't know why Cui Che insisted on bringing Qin Ai's family with him, could it be that he fell in love with Mrs. Qin?
But Qin Ai is now 38 years old, his wife must not be very young, besides, his cousin has never been to Licheng, and Qin Ai's wife is not well-known, so it is impossible to think about it.

Seeing Pei Xiu's resolute attitude and looking at the three hundred knights behind him, Qin Ai could only sigh secretly, and ordered:
"Qiong'er, let your mother pack her bags."

I wish the camp outside the city.

It was dark at night, and in the handsome tent, Cui Che sat barefoot at the head seat, and there was food on the table, but he refused to move his chopsticks.

Zhao Wen hurried in:
"Patriarch, Pei Changshi has brought Qin Ai's family back."

Hearing this, Cui Che quickly picked up the bowl, took a few mouthfuls of food, and then spit it out on the table.

He went out of the tent with bare feet and no shoes on purpose.

Seeing the middle-aged man walking with Pei Xiu, Cui Che smiled heartily:

"Cui is looking forward to Duke Qin!"

It's just that under Hexi's smile, he complained from the bottom of his heart: I asked Zhao Wen to put some pebbles outside the tent, why did he pick the sharp ones!
Qin Ai looked at Cui Che, who came out barefoot, and her expression twitched. Although she knew that the young man did it on purpose, she was greatly moved, but she was forced to leave home, and her resentment still persisted. She coldly snorted:

"Emissary Cui sent an army to invite him. If Mr. Qin doesn't come, the house might be demolished."

Cui Che's face changed when he heard the words, and he said angrily:

"Pei Shaocai! I just saw that you are a scholar, and you are usually polite. That's why I let you go to Licheng. I thought you would move people with love. How dare you persecute Duke Qin! How can I forgive you for offending Duke Qin today? ! Left and right! Drag Pei Xiu down and hit him with twenty army sticks!"

Pei Xiu was speechless, and thought: Cui Zicheng, be yourself.

Qin Ai looked at Cui Che's attack, finally swallowed the words "the show is over", and pleaded for Pei Xiu.

　Qin Qiong's birth year is not recorded in the history books, simply according to "Shuo Tang Zhuan", the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi in 577, Qin Qiong was five years old at the time, and was born in 573 AD.

　　Of course, this is definitely not the exact age. "Shuo Tang Zhuan" is just a novel. At the beginning of the book, Yang Zhong was the marching marshal in 577 and led an army of 60 to destroy Qi, but Yang Zhong died in 568 in history.

　　Qin Qiong's father is called Qin Ai, not Qin Yi.
