The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 177 Weird
Sure enough, upon hearing Changsun Ji's answer, Governor Niu showed a satisfied expression, smiled and said, "It's true that Patriarch Bai is Patriarch Bai, but he has another identity. He and Lady Bai belong to the same family."

Hearing the Niu Junshou talk about Bai Niangniang, Changsun Ji understood the relationship. Bai Niangniang was none other than the biological mother of his first wife, Princess Taiping.

If this relationship is followed, Changsun Ji will call him uncle according to Princess Taiping.But Changsun Ji didn't care much about it.

On weekdays, my wife never told me that there is such an uncle.Thinking about it, even she might not know that there is a distant uncle in Yanzhou.

Even according to what he said now, the Patriarch Bai and Niang Niang are brothers and sisters of the same family, but given his current situation and status, it is estimated that he does not know how many times they are brothers and sisters.

But at this time, there should be some face.Changsun Ji raised his glass to the Bai patriarch and said, "I didn't know we had such a relationship, or else I would have gone to visit a long time ago, and I would like to respect you."

Seeing Changsun Ji taking the lead like this, the Patriarch Bai was very satisfied, he slowly picked up the wine glass in his hand, and said to Changsun Ji, "It's not that I take the big one, I still really enjoy this glass of wine. After all, no matter how you say it, I can be regarded as your elder."

"You..." Seeing this, He Zheng was about to get angry, but was stopped by Changsun Ji's eyes. Changsun Ji smiled lightly and said, "You are right, you will naturally accept this glass of wine."

After all, he drank the wine in the glass as soon as he raised his head.

For people like Patriarch Bai, Changsun Ji sees it very clearly, with a typical look of a poor scholar. He obviously has no skills, but he likes to show that he is superior to others, so he can only find some people with higher status than himself as a foil .

From the expression of the head of the Bai family when the cattle sheriff spoke just now, it can be seen that although he pretended to be indifferent, his eyes were looking around, observing the expressions of everyone.

With the help of age to make a fuss, I want to step on my own head to show my difference.This small thought is almost all written on the face, which makes people feel sick.

However, his eldest grandson Ji's head is not meant to be stepped on by anyone who can step on it.Of course, like this person, he doesn't care about such false things as face. He is a very realistic person. There is no need to be violent about this matter. Keep it in your heart, and there will always be a day when you will pay it back.

Changsun Ji put the wine glass on the table.After being teased by Patriarch Bai, the atmosphere of the whole wine table was a little bit wrong.Full of embarrassment.

The corner of Niu Junshou's mouth twitched. He knew that the Bai patriarch was this kind of person, so he shouldn't have brought up this topic.At first, I wanted to get close to Changsun Ji and increase the relationship between them. Everything went smoothly, and the door was about to open, but it turned out that the Bai patriarch directly closed it for himself again, and put a lock on it. By the way, he also blocked the keyhole for himself.

Governor Niu took a look at Changsun Ji, and seeing that the general still looked gentle, he sighed inwardly: "I hope he doesn't hate me too."

"Ahem." The governor of Niu coughed dryly twice, breaking the atmosphere at the dinner table, and said with a smile: "The general and I are not considered outsiders. I'm ashamed to say that I once worked under Lord Hou. ..."

While Changsun Ji was eating wine and chatting with Niu Junshou, a group of soldiers was rushing towards Dongyang Wu fifty miles away from Dongyang Wu.The leaders were Guo Dingxin, Wang Liang and the two generals who had been ordered to intercept the grain army.

Guo Dingxin rode on the horse, spat out a piece of dry grass in his mouth, and asked Wang Liang, "Old Wang, how far is Dongyang Wu?"

Wang Liang looked up into the distance and said, "It's about fifty miles away."

"It's still so far away? Well, I'm hopeless for breakfast today, I hope I can catch lunch." Guo Dingxin said helplessly.

"Old Wang, is your place so remote? After all, this is also an official road, and there is not even a place to drink some tea."

Guo Dingxin's slightly complaining voice came.Wang Liang frowned and did not answer.

Last night, under the orders of Changsun Ji, they guarded the high hill, preparing to ambush the Liang army, but they waited all night and did not see a single shadow.

Compared with Guo Dingxin's complaints along the way, Wang Liangbin was a little confused.Although Yangping and Dongwuyang are two neighboring states and counties, because he is not very familiar with the governor of Dongwuyang, he has not come to Dongwuyang a few times.

However, the two are adjacent to each other after all, and the few people who come here do not mean that they have never been here. In the past, when I went out to work, I sometimes passed by Tobuyang.

In the past, although the road between Dongwuyang and Yangping was not as prosperous as the traffic, at least one caravan could be seen every five miles or so along the way.Some teahouses.The post station is also booming.

But what puzzled him now was this place. He had walked a lot along the way since he withdrew from Gaogang, and he didn't see a caravan. Even the teahouses and post stations along the way looked deserted for a long time.

Even if it is a famine year and the war has caught up, these reasons will affect the prosperity of this official road, but no matter how it is affected, it is impossible to have a situation where there are no people living on the official road. After all, people and businessmen have to live. No matter what the external situation is, in order to survive, they must go out and make a living.

Guo Dingxin waited for a while and didn't hear Wang Liangbin's answer. He turned his head to look at him, saw that he was absent-minded, raised his foot and kicked his leg hanging on the horse's belly and said, "What are you thinking? Then Lost? Looking at you like that, where are you thinking about the girl?"

After that, he laughed out loud.

Wang Liang stretched out his hand and patted the calf that was kicked by Guo Dingxin, and said, "General Guo, don't make trouble, I feel something is wrong, this road is really too quiet."

"Huh?" Guo Dingxin heard Wang Liang and said so.The playful expression was also put away, he had just lost Yang Ping, and Changsun Ji hadn't settled with him yet, so he didn't dare to make any mistakes because of himself.

"What did I say? How could this road be so quiet? There isn't even a teahouse selling tea. What did you mean just now that someone wants to ambush us? Is it the Liangjun gang?" Guo Dingxin asked.

"No, if someone wants to ambush us, it's impossible to do it so clearly, and we were guarding Gaogang last night, it is impossible for the Liang army to pass us and come here to ambush us."
