lady, please calm down

Chapter 329 Tokyo has no backbone

July [-], late afternoon.

The banquet atmosphere in Meiying Xiaozhu gradually reached its climax.

The city of Tokyo outside was also much more lively because of the gathering of foreign and domestic delegations.

Tong Kefeng, a primary school student, and his two brothers were strolling along Panjia South Street. This is an eagle and falcon street that specializes in selling rare birds and beasts, as well as cats and dogs.

Tong Kefeng comes from Baoan Prefecture, where the frontier is cold and barren. He has never seen such a prosperous scene, and it feels like his eyes are not enough.

Walking to the intersection, turn right and enter Panjiadong Street. This street mainly sells fabrics and clothing, and also sells makeup and jewelry. Therefore, there are many women on the street.

In the midsummer of July, women often wear light summer clothes, and their fragrant shoulders are looming under the light gauze and thin brocade, which makes the brothers look straight at them.

Tong Kefeng, who was just in his early twenties, had been in the frontier for a long time, and his face had already been roughened by wind and frost. In addition, the earth-colored old military uniforms of the Western Army worn by the three of them were incompatible with the exquisite girls and polished citizens around him.

It looks rustic and sloppy.

Paoze King Mancang stared at a young lady for a long time. When the other party noticed it, he frowned and looked at the three bumpkins up and down, and spat in disgust.

"Hey, these little girls in Tokyo are quite naughty, haha."

Wang Mancang couldn't help but cover up his embarrassment with jokes.

"Take care of your tricks and don't look around. Don't lose the face of our ancestors of the Western Army!"

Tong Kefeng lowered his head and glanced at the dusty clothes on his body, feeling an inexplicable feeling of inferiority.

From the windy and sandy Baoanzhou to the prosperous and charming Tokyo city, it is [-] miles, but it is like two worlds.

The three of them pulled several feet of Huaibei muslin for their sisters and mothers on Panjiadong Street. This Huaibei cloth was not only fine but also cheaper than cloth from other origins, making it most suitable for poor soldiers like them.

Walking further, I passed by a newly opened store with only the word "Huarong" on the door plaque. There was already a long queue in front of the door. Listening to the chats of these queuing customers, I learned that this store is in order to provide customers with the best shopping experience. , only accepts 20 people at a time, and there will be one-on-one shopping guide service after entering the store.

Only when a customer leaves the store will another person be invited in.

Hearing that the women in line were full of praise for the store's hospitality, Tong Kefeng looked up at the white sun and felt that these women were a bit silly.
Wang Mancang also heard that all the handbags sold in the store were made by royal cobblers. Even the regent's princess, the wife of the new prime minister Fan Gongzhi and other top women in Daqi were regular customers of this store. He couldn't help but be tempted and wanted to I also bought one for my mother-in-law, so that she can feel noble.

However, when he learned that entry-level bags start at seven or eight dollars, he immediately changed his mind.

Hiss. A turtle skin bag sells for seven or eight dollars. Why don’t you go and grab it!
There are so many rich fools in Tokyo!

Walking further, we arrived at the Yurong Cosmetics store, the destination of this trip.

Before leaving home, the mother-in-law at home repeatedly told me to bring back a piece of fragrant soap for washing my face and lip balm for smearing my lips.

This time, although the three hundred yuan a piece of soap and the usual amount of lip balm were painful, it was within their ability to bear.

In less than three seconds, the three of them returned home with a full load.

However, when passing a clothing store, I heard a commotion. I squeezed into the crowd and saw that a young couple was stopped by two short and thick men. The girl was quite pretty, and the man was dressed as a scholar in a green cloth t-shirt.

The man who stopped people had a shaved head and forehead, leaving only two pigtails on his temples.

Baldness and long hair are the hallmarks of a golden person!

One of the golden men held the girl's arm and babbled incomprehensible bird language.

The scholar looked very frightened, but he also held the wife's other arm and did not dare to let go.

He knew that if he let go now and allowed his wife to be dragged away by the golden man, it would be the end.

The little girl was so frightened that she cried loudly.

Seeing this, another Jin man stepped forward and pulled the scholar's bun, raised his fist and punched the door facing him.

After just a few blows, the scholar's mouth and nose began to bleed, and he fell to the ground exhausted, but his remaining thoughts drove him to continue to hold his wife's arm tightly.

Seeing this, the young lady finally collapsed and cried: "Don't fight, don't fight, I will let you go, spare my officer's life."

But the Jin man couldn't understand Chinese, so he still stabbed the scholar's face one after another.

When Tong Wei surrendered to Baoan Prefecture, the area was still under the control of the Tong family. As a son of the family, Tong Kefeng had never seen the Jin people causing trouble in Baoan Prefecture.

Furthermore, Tong Kefeng was young and had been in the army for a long time. The most important thing in his body was blood. The sight before him made him unable to hold back.

I saw him stacking the gifts he bought for his family on the ground, randomly choosing a name to watch the people, cupping his fists and saying, "Brother, please take care of your belongings."

After that, without waiting for anyone to agree, he pushed aside the crowd in front of him, rolled up his sleeves and walked up.

Companions Wang Mancang and Ma Wencai put the gifts on the ground without asking any more questions and followed Tong Kefeng's footsteps.

The security army is no better than the Shengpingxiang army in the mainland. They are close to Xixia and have fought more than ten times, large and small. In their understanding, as long as it is something the brothers want to do, regardless of life or death, even if Paoze wants to break through the Naihe Bridge, he must Take a walk with him!
Just fuck it and that's it!
The conflict broke out suddenly, and the onlookers retreated quickly to leave a larger space for both sides, and then continued to comment and comment with a mentality of eating melons.

The two golden soldiers were also tough men, and they were not inferior even when they were two against three.

Unexpectedly, when the fight was getting lively, five or six golden men in the same clothes came running from the east side.

As the group approached, they punched and kicked the people watching on the outside. Amidst the cries of their fathers and mothers asking for mercy, the people quickly made way for a passage to the middle.

Randomly, this group of people rushed forward like hungry tigers pouncing on food.

Tong Kefeng and others immediately fell into a disadvantage
A commoner who had just received a punch from the Jinren stood on tiptoes to look at the fierce battle in the inner circle of the crowd, and only clapped his hands in excitement.

The abnormal gathering of a large number of people was discovered by the Huaibei Army on duty at the Drum Tower, and they immediately notified the sergeants patrolling the streets.

On Panjiadong Street, there are several properties owned by Princess Chu, which are the focus of patrols.

Shi Xiaoqi, who was the first to receive the news, immediately rushed over with a group of people.

Unexpectedly, he met Captain Li from the military patrol shop outside the crowd.
There is a military patrol station every two miles in Tokyo City, which is responsible for maintaining public security in the city and detecting theft. The Xiang Army is responsible for this.

Captain Li naturally recognized this young general from the Huaibei Army who was often patrolling nearby. He hurriedly stopped Shi Xiaoqi with a smile and said, "Young general, don't worry. Just now, two Jin men teased the girl and started fighting with the bumpkin from the Western Army. Huaibei stores were hurt, and Huaibei military master was not involved."

When Shi Xiaoqi heard this, he immediately glared at Team Leader Li displeasedly, and the others were about to squeeze in.

Captain Li quickly grabbed Shi Xiaoqi's arm and reminded him again: "Young general, there is a golden man inside!"

Shi Xiaoqi, whose temper was not good to begin with, couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this. He shook off the opponent's hand, slapped Bantou Li on the face, and cursed: "What's wrong with the golden man? The golden man doesn't Do you need to speak the royal law?"

After that, he grabbed Team Leader Li by the collar and cursed: "Since you know that the Jin man is teasing my little girl, you guys from the military patrol are here to watch? Your mother is worthy of wearing this kind of clothes! Get out of here!"

Shi Xiaoqi pushed, pushed Team Leader Li to the ground, and squeezed into the battle group with his brothers.
That squad leader Li was so embarrassed that he was scolded so hard. Several brothers from the military patrol shop stepped forward to help him up. Squad leader Li still muttered to himself: "Good intentions are treated as donkey liver and lungs! If you just want to be a hero, the golden man is Can you cause it? If something happens, even the King of Chu won't be able to protect you."

A few moments later, another group of sergeants came from the east, led by General Fan Guanghan of the Suppressing Huai Army.

He was older, and naturally more calm than young people like Shi Xiaoqi. After he probably understood the current situation, he immediately called a brother to come forward, "Go, find Bai Yuhou, and report to the prince."

As soon as this brother left, another person stood on tiptoe and looked in, anxiously saying: "Boss Fan, what should we do? The brothers inside don't seem to be taking advantage!"

But Fan Guanghan tightened his belt, tightened his belt, and said loudly: "What can we do? Of course we have to help! We in the Huaibei Army are not cowards who don't help when they see Pao Ze fighting! No matter he is a gold man or a silver man. , let’s win the battle first! Brothers, come on!”

Not in time.

There is singing and dancing in the Meiying small building. The ice mirror about three feet long is filled with ice cubes and gives off the slightest bit of air-conditioning.

There is a pot of grape wine in the town, which is sour, sweet and delicious, and makes the whole body soothing.

Even Ayu drank a few drinks, her face was rosy and very attractive.

The white-haired rat walked through the hall from behind the curtain, walked around behind Chen Chu who was sitting at the top, and whispered a few words. Chen Chu was slightly surprised and couldn't help but look at Tong Qi, who was immersed in singing and dancing.

At this moment, another sergeant rushed into the hall in a panic and said something in Tong Qi's ear.

Because the sergeant's appearance was too sudden, several people present looked at him in unison.

But after hearing the sergeant's report, Tong Qi's expression changed and she stood up suddenly.

The young man finally got a little flustered when something happened. He forgot to say goodbye to everyone, got up and left.

Zhe Yanwen, who was close to the Tong family, shouted, "Brother Qi, what happened?"

Tong Qi seemed to have realized the situation at this moment, and hurriedly turned around and hugged everyone, saying: "Brothers, sit still, something happened in my camp, I need to go over and deal with it."

After saying that, he turned around, but before he could walk out the door, Chen Chu called him again.

"General Tong, stay."

The anxious Tong Qi had no choice but to turn around again, but Chen Chu waved his hand and asked the dancer to retreat first, then looked around at the crowd and said, "Just now, several soldiers from the security army had a conflict with Jin Sheng."

The faces of the people sitting there suddenly changed.Did you have a conflict with the golden man?
The scene where the Jin people swept across the Central Plains more than ten years ago was a nightmare in the hearts of the generals of Qi State.

At that time, they had different reasons for rebelling against Zhou and surrendering to Qi. They either felt that they were invincible, or they used the crown reason of "avoiding the destruction of life" as an excuse.

However, the biggest reason why no one wants to admit it but it is true is that they are afraid of the tyranny of the Jin people.

Now there is a conflict between the security forces and the Jin people. This matter can be big or small. The key is to see whether the Jin people suffer or not.

If Jin Ren took advantage, Tong Qi punished his subordinates a little and compensated Jin Ren some money, maybe the matter could be solved.

But once the Jin people were killed or injured, it would be difficult to deal with it. Either the soldiers who caused the trouble would be handed over to the other party, or one of their own would be killed in the street to let the other party calm down.

In short, it's okay to deal with this kind of thing, which is both embarrassing and embarrassing. It's the security forces who are causing trouble and they have nothing to do with it.

Unexpectedly, Chen Chu then said calmly: "I just said that if one of our generals is damaged, all of us will be damaged. General Tong is young and is inexperienced in dealing with this kind of thing for the first time. Everyone sitting here has known each other for many years. At this moment, General Tong is like our youngest brother, and his affairs are our own affairs as brothers. I want to go with Brother Qi, what do you think?"

Tong Qi looked at Chen Chu in shock. It was too late for others to hide from such a thing, but the King of Chu was willing to wade through this muddy water for him?

My heart was filled with mixed emotions.

But the others fell silent. At this time, Zhe Yanwen, who had been friends with the Tong family for generations, took the lead and said: "That's what the King of Chu said! One more person means more strength, and Yanwen is willing to go with him!"

After he said that, Jing Peng, who had just received the wheat seeds verbally promised by Chen Chu, gritted his teeth and stood up, "I will go with my brothers!"

Then, there is Kuang Siliang
When this happens, no matter how unhappy they are, the other two families have no choice but to stand up and express their stance!
After all, just now everyone was bragging about Da Qi's generals and their family. If you back down now, you will be looked down upon. Do you still want the wheat seeds promised by the King of Chu?

Not five minutes later, the children of Jiedushi from six towns in Qi State went out on the street hand in hand.

Chen Chu took the lead, and the other five fell behind intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, they were not retreating, but subconsciously wanted to give the King of Chu the respect he deserved.

Regardless of whether he was willing or forced, people like the King of Chu who were willing to stand up for his subordinates and brothers were most admired by the men in the army.

Ayu, who was sitting in the carriage, was following behind. She lifted the curtain and looked at the figure behind her. She felt that following a hero like her uncle, she could go anywhere in the world, but even monsters had to retreat!
Ayu finally realized the happiness of the cat
Qi Guo Yiguan is not far from Panjiadong Street.

Therefore, when Li Chu, the magistrate of the Kingdom of Jin, came to the scene, he was only later than Cui Ying, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Cui Ying felt a headache. The two sides in the conflict were the angel guards of the Kingdom of Heaven on one side, and the officers and soldiers of the Huaibei Army and the Security Army on the other.

Among them, there was also a Huaibei army general. If an ordinary Xiang army dared to cause such a big incident, Cui Ying would not make any trouble at all. The Jin envoy would deal with it as he said, ensuring that the superior country would be satisfied.

But he really didn't dare to move the people from the Huaibei Army.

As for the three security guards, Cui Ying had already regarded them as dead people for Jin to calm down.

When Li Chou appeared with a dark face, Cui Ying hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation. Li Chou observed first and saw that his ten guards had bruises and swollen faces, while only three of the security guards on the other side were injured. That gave them a numerical advantage, which was enough. The Huaibei Army, which consisted of more than 20 people, was sitting on the steps of a shop, with their legs crossed and scolding the Jin Kingdom guards.

Both sides could not understand each other's words, but the tense atmosphere was anything but relaxed.

If it weren't for the large number of military patrol sergeants and Kaifeng government officials who separated the two sides, fighting could resume at any time.

Crowds of spectators have crowded Panjiadong Street.

Those upstairs by the windows, those standing on carts, and those climbing on the flagpole.
The majesty of the Shangguo cannot be compromised, and Li Chou, who has long been a Hanpi Jinxin, naturally considers the interests of the Jinguo.

But what gave him a little headache was that Chen Jingan, an aide of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, had just visited him yesterday and presented him with [-] shares of Sihai Trading Company stock.

The person holding the hand is short-handed
Having just taken advantage of others, it is natural not to punish the Huaibei Army too harshly.

So, he also turned his attention to the security army Tong Kefeng and the other three.
Just then, there was a sound of horse hooves stepping on the stone slab in the distance. After a few breaths, several knights in plain clothes came closer from far away.

The common people hurriedly moved out of the way. Chen Chu and others got off their horses, but Tong Qi, who was concerned but confused, drove her horse directly into the center of the crowd before dismounting.

Seeing that Tong Kefeng's face was covered with dried blood, he not only asked anxiously: "What's going on?"

Tong Kefeng was born in a family and grew up in the Tong family's mansion. He accompanied Tong Qi to study and practice martial arts. The two of them had a relationship that transcended that of master and servant.

On the side, Cui Ying saw Tong Qi coming, and hurriedly explained to Li Chu in a low voice, hoping that the envoy from the kingdom would no longer embarrass him and go directly to the rightful owner.

Li Chu did indeed do this. When he saw Bu Ding Bu Ba standing there, he asked rudely: "Are you the son of Tong Wei, the military governor of the Security Army?"

Tong Qi already knew the whole story from Tong Kefeng, and thinking that he had the truth, he stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "That is Tong Qi! There is a reason for what happened today. It was the angel guard teasing a good family."

But before he could finish what he said, he heard Li Chu suddenly shout: "Did I ask you to speak? Do you know what the crime is for beating an envoy from the Kingdom of China in the street?"

Wasn't it the guards who were beaten?How did he become an envoy of the Great Kingdom?
After all, Tong Qi was young and was a little unable to react after being interrupted by Li Chu in a harsh voice.

But Li Chuan continued to scold: "The Kingdom of Jin is the father of the Kingdom of Qi! You allow your subordinates to beat the envoys of the father's country, which is really an unfaithful and unfilial person! If I, the great Jin Dynasty, raise an army in anger, don't say that you are an ignorant boy, you will Father, I can’t bear this responsibility!”

Li Chu's words not only silenced Tong Qi, but also the people around him became silent.

More than ten years ago, the terrifying memory of the Jin soldiers pressing down on the country and bloodbathing Tokyo was instantly awakened
Li Chuan was very satisfied with the reaction at the scene. He only heard him say sadly: "I need your Tong family to give me an explanation for what happened today."

"no."

Tong Qi was already panicking and explained again, "It wasn't my sergeant who caused the trouble! It was the angel guard who was molesting a good woman in the street. The sergeant couldn't see it and stepped forward to stop him, so the conflict broke out."

Cui Ying, who had been standing silently next to Li Yan, raised her head pretending to be surprised and asked doubtfully: "Oh? Is this happening? What about the woman being played?"

When he said this, Tong Qi quickly turned to look at Tong Kefeng
Tong Kefeng subconsciously pointed to where the young couple were standing just now, but there was no one there anywhere.

At this time, Tong Kefeng also panicked. He took a step forward, circled around and made a four-way bow, and said: "Uncles, aunts and brothers, everyone saw it just now. Please give me a certificate."

But Tong Kefeng shouted several times, but no one dared to come forward and say something fair.

His rustic accent even caused a few chuckles from the crowd.
On the side, Fan Guanghan, who had finished his work and was sitting on the ground watching the show, suddenly felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but look around in confusion. Are these the people we want to protect?

He felt unworthy of this unknown Western Army brother!
Shi Xiaoqi, who was next to him, smiled and nudged him with his elbow, and whispered: "Hey, Captain Fan, don't worry, the prince is here to ensure that this brother from the Western Army is fine."

Fan Guanghan followed Shi Xiaoqi's gaze and saw that familiar figure squeezing his way to the front of the crowd.

Here, Tong Kefeng's tone has changed to pleading, but the people around him still have numb expressions as if they were watching a monkey show.

There were crowds of people around, but Tong Kefeng had never felt so miserable. Looking at Tong Qi who was worried about him, blushing and speechless, Tong Kefeng was completely disappointed.

Lord humiliate to death!

The pride in his bones made him not want to be humiliated here, let alone Tong Qi to be humiliated for him.

So, Tong Kefeng slowly touched the handle of the sharp knife at his waist.
Inexplicably, he suddenly remembered the soap and fine cloth he had just bought for his sister and mother. A quick glance revealed that the person he had entrusted to take care of them had long since disappeared, along with the gift.

Hey.
Tong Kefeng sighed silently and looked up at the blue sky.

On a sunny day with no wind, the sky in their Baoan Prefecture is also so blue.

However, the people's hearts in this prosperous city of Tokyo are different from those in their hometown. The people here are rich, but they have lost their backbone.
Thinking of this, Tong Kefeng drew the knife and wiped it towards his neck.

But as soon as his hand was raised in the air, someone grabbed his wrist tightly.

Looking back, he saw a tall and handsome young man.

"Hold on, good man. I'll give you justice."

The young man smiled and said this to him. Even decades later, Tong Kefeng still clearly remembered every detail of the other person's expression.

Then, the young man took two steps forward and faced Li Chu and Cui Ying directly.

Li Chang didn't know who the person in front of him was, but Cui Ying was already bowing and smiling.

"come here."

The young man waved to Cui Ying, who looked at him carefully, walked over, bowed and said, "I've seen you before."

But before he finished speaking, the young man raised his leg and kicked Cui Ying in the stomach without any warning. The kick was with all his strength. Cui Ying curled up on the ground in pain, with tears and runny nose coming out.

"Being an official in the same court as a bastard like you is a disgrace to me!"

There was an uproar all around. Mr. Cui is the judge of Kaifeng Mansion!
He is already a great official, but this young man actually kicked someone over?
Whose yamen is so domineering? ? ?
As the saying goes, when beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Cui Ying has been standing next to Li Yan just now. Needless to say, it must be the attitude of the person named Cui that irritated the young man.

Li Chang couldn't help but frowned, but he heard the words "I am an official in the same court as you" just now, so he asked one more question, "Who are you?"

This young man's face was slightly red, and he had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. If it weren't for that swift and powerful kick just now, others would have thought he was someone's young master.

But I saw him smile sarcastically and said: "I am the Privy Council Envoy, Chen Chu, King of Chu in Da Qi."
