One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Three: Fa Xu Pei, the First Princes to Kill (33)
"Eat and drink, old chap, you've got work—"
Bo Ning was shirtless, with his trouser legs pulled up high, holding a handful of fodder in his hand and stuffing it into the mule's mouth. The mule turned his face away in disgust.
The weather is hot, and there is impetuousness in the air.
Bo Ning was not patient at all, but after trying to persuade the mule, he still refused to go on the road, and his temper also came up.
"You bastard, do you want to be skinned and boned to make donkey meat?"
Bo Ning threatened the mule.
Uncle Mule remained indifferent, rolled his eyes, snorted indifferently, turned his body and pointed his hip at Bo Ning.
Bo Ning was about to get angry when Wei Ci stepped forward with a smile, "Is this Bo Yishi?"
Hearing someone calling him, Bo Ning temporarily put aside his thoughts of competing with the mule, and turned to look at the person.
"It's hard to see such a thin-skinned and tender-skinned person in this world nowadays." Bo Ning threw away the fodder in his hand, stroked the beard on his face, and cracked his mouth with a smile, "Listen to your accent, you don't look like a local It doesn't look like someone who was robbed by bandits and asked someone to complain—"
Bo Ning is in his thirties this year, and he is considered to be in the prime of his life. He has open chest muscles, strong and firm, and a layer of hot sweat hangs on the surface.
Wei Ci calmly stopped the guards who were about to come forward, and looked at Bo Ning with a smile in his eyes, "Your Majesty is indeed a foreigner. I happened to hear that Mr. Bo Yishi settled down here, so I specially prepared a small gift and came to visit. If there is any offense , I also ask the martyrs to forgive me."
Hearing this, Bo Ning was in a bad mood.
He is a big old man, and the neighbors he contacts are also extensive, and he seldom deals with scribes.
Seeing that Wei Ci's clothes were neat and tidy, but he was bare-chested, and his thick trousers were tied around his waist with a hemp rope, he looked sloppy.
However, Bo Ning is also a thick-skinned person, and his bronze-colored skin does not reveal the slightest embarrassment.
"Oh, it turned out that he was looking for me—" Bo Ning looked at Wei Ci with a half-smile, and looked him up from his feet to his head. Satisfaction flashed in his eyes. Bo Ning casually pulled a bench and sat down on his buttocks. , with long legs crossed and raised, looking very rascal, he patted the other corner of the bench with his right hand, "Don't beat around the bush, just say what you have to say. Come on, young man, sit down and talk—"
Seeing this familiar scene, Wei Ci couldn't help laughing secretly.
Bo Ning in the previous life also behaved in the same way. At that time, Wei Ci felt that this person was rude and degrading, and because of his upbringing, he didn't show up.
Seeing an old friend again in this life, not only did not feel offended, but it was a bit interesting.
Besides, Bo Ning is in his thirties this year, and he is more than a round older than Wei Ci, so he can barely be regarded as a member of his father's generation.
"But it's disrespectful."
Now it was Bai Ning's turn to feel uncomfortable.
This is the temperament of Bo Ning. If you are aggressive with him, he will be more aggressive than you. If you are going to be soft, he will not be aggressive at all.
"Let's be honest, what are you doing in the backcountry?"
Wei Ci smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that? Ci made a special trip to find Mr. Bai."
Bo Ning did not believe this.
Outsiders called him "Bo Yishi", because he led the young and strong in the countryside to repel the bandits, maintain the peace of the side, and gained a good reputation.
Bo Ning knew that this could only be regarded as a small fight, how could he provoke a gentleman like Wei Ci in front of him?
"Then why are you looking for me?"
Looking at Wei Ci's appearance and thinking about his own, Bo Ning, who has always been careless and sloppy, feels hairy all over his body.
Wei Ci said, "Naturally, it is to attract Mr. Bo Yishi, so that the pearl will not be dusted."
Bo Ning was startled, and couldn't help digging his ears with his little finger.
"What are you talking about?"
The pearl is dusty?
he?
Has the brain of the melon in front of you been opened?
"I'm just a rough man. He has nothing but strength—" Bo Ning rubbed his hands awkwardly, stood up abruptly, grabbed the reins hanging from the mule, all the muscles in his body tensed up, and he looked quite frightened. "You can find someone else for this matter."
"Why should a righteous man be humble?" Wei Ci said, "If a righteous man has no talent, just relying on the hundreds of young men in this country,
How can you withstand thousands of mobs? A few years ago, the southern barbarians were rampant, and Peng County also fell under the tyranny of the barbarians. Only this place is quite peaceful, isn't there any meritorious service here? The righteous man said that he was incapable and incompetent, but many veterans were ashamed of the formation of troops. "
When Wei Ci said this, Bo Ning looked like a wild cat whose fur had exploded after being stimulated, with a somewhat fierce look in his eyes.
Wei Ci continued, "Nowadays the world is chaotic, don't righteous people want to clarify Yuyu? It will only make the bright pearl dusty!"
Bo Ning dragged the mule away, roaring anxiously.
"It's none of your business!"
Wei Ci followed closely, but did not force him.
The poor mule still wanted to stay where he was, but Bo Ning was so strong that he could even lift a tripod of three or four stones at will, let alone this stubborn mule. The mule made a long trail on the ground, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sluggishly took the initiative to keep up.
Wei Ci followed Bo Ning all the way to his house.
Bo Ning's ancestors sold firecrackers, so he could barely be considered a wealthy family. However, the two generations did not manage well, and Bai Ning was already very poor when he fell to his place, barely making ends meet. In order to subsidize his family, Bo Ning often went hunting in the mountains, and earned more money than selling firecrackers.
After Wei Ci recruited Bo Ning in his previous life, he heard him mention things about his youth.
When Bo Ning was young, he rescued a crippled old general who had been reduced to a beggar. He taught him all his martial arts and the art of war.
He failed in business, but his martial arts talent is very strong, far better than that old general.
However, Bo Ning was born in a poor family, and he was worried about his old parents, and he never enlisted in the army.
This delay dragged on until middle age, and the world was in chaos.
"This is my house, you get out!"
Seeing Wei Ci coming after him, Bo Ning grabbed the fence door of his house and blocked the way with his strong body.
Wei Ci smiled and said, "Ciye looked at the stars and counted the stars, and learned that Bo Yishi learned from Ge Chun, the former Huben general of Nansheng, right?"
Bo Ning's expression froze, and those copper bell eyes widened.
"Nothing! I don't know Ge Chun Ge Xia!"
"Bo Yishi, don't worry, the Nansheng Kingdom is gone, even if General Ge Chun's matter is known, it won't bring about a fatal disaster to Boyi Shi."
Ge Chun, this was guessed by Wei Ci after careful research in his previous life, and later confirmed by Bo Ning.
In the last years of Nansheng, when troops were conscripted to crusade against the four tribes of the Southern Man, General Ge Chun of Huben made many military exploits.
Ge Chun was loyal to the emperor and had an upright and tough personality, which offended many nobles and family forces.
The latter was afraid that Ge Chun's crusade against the Nanman would further win, so he simply acted first, delaying the supply of reinforcements and supplies under excuses, and Ge Chun's troops were ambushed by the four Nanman tribes. The battle report said that he was killed in battle, and his body was gnawed into bones by the war beasts raised by the four southern barbarians.
Later, he was convicted by the imperial court on trumped-up charges, which affected his family members.
He himself survived by luck but became disabled. After all hope was lost, he degenerated into a beggar. If it wasn't for the young Bo Ning's help, Ge Chun would have died long ago.
