Chapter 469: Qin Qiong: I

Bang!

Cheng Yaojin slammed the table and rose, glaring at Yuchi Gong, "How did you just speak to my brother? Who wants to leave a dying word?"

"Damn it, you try to mess with my brother today?"

Yuchi Gong: "....."

Cheng Chumo, who hadn't had a chance to speak, darkened his face.

Fine, just looking for fun, and ended up seeing an uncle appear for himself.

The key is that this uncle used to be a sworn brother, the Chen Yan who mixed in the brothels.

Who can we reason with?

Cheng Laohei, you really didn't get the name wrong.

"I'm called Laohei, at most my skin is a bit dark, but you're called Laohei, your mother is black inside and out!"

"Look, look at what you said, I'm embarrassed for you!"

Yuchi Gong sighed heavily, clasped Chen Yan's shoulder, "You say it's true, brother!"

Chen Yan: "....."

Cheng Yaojin: "......"

"Tsk tsk tsk, a heap of long‑winded essays, inside and out all blame me; I thought you really were that kind of person, but look at you…"

Cheng Yaojin snickered, "I'm damn embarrassed to even mention you."

"So what's the matter?" Yuchi Gong's eyes widened, "I ask you, what's the matter?"

"Today I'll leave the words here! As for the Weinan County Negotiation Office, I've already decided, you little brat go to the other side!"

"You leave the words here?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't accept, immediately glared back, "What use is it to leave words here? Does your speech even work?"

"Look at your big, bulky figure, your words are as useful as a fart!"

"Can my brother let you, this guy, go?"

The two went back and forth, spittle flying, fighting for pride, neither yielding.

If we go back to the past, given Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's status, it would have been impossible to even consider the Negotiation Office position, even in Weinan County.

After all, back then each of them could instantly lead tens of thousands as a fierce figure.

But what's the situation now?

Last time Du Ruhui clearly told them, the border is being harassed, war is inevitable, now Li Shimin wants to form a new heavy cavalry, need we even think about the purpose?

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong both know that Li Jing can still fight; if war breaks out, it's most likely Li Jing will command the army, not them.

Now that a chance finally appears, they obviously don't want to give it up.

"......"

Cheng Chumo, a few juniors, silently watched the two argue, daring not to say anything, honestly to the extreme.

What puzzled Qin Huaidao was why his old father made no move.

He glanced and saw Qin Qiong leisurely sipping the two jars of fine wine Chen Yan brought, completely indifferent to Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's quarrel.

Qin Huaidao was puzzled.

Since Chen Yan healed Qin Qiong's body, Qin Qiong also wanted to go to the battlefield again.

Before it was because his body couldn't, now it's fine and there's a chance, why no move?

Could it be because he just got married, hasn't held a grandson yet, so temporarily doesn't want to go to war?

Or perhaps, because he got married, he gave up fighting, and will enjoy his later years in Chang'an?

Qin Huaidao didn't understand, but didn't dare to ask.

"Little Yan, come, have two cups with Uncle Qin." Qin Qiong personally poured a cup for Chen Yan beside him, then lifted the cup.

"Alright, fine!" Chen Yan likewise ignored their quarrel, clinked cups with Qin Qiong.

At this moment, Cheng Chumo couldn't hold back, "Uncle Qin, don't you want to go to Weinan County to lead troops?"

"Go to Weinan County?" Qin Qiong snorted twice, revealing a meaningfully deep smile.

Earlier Chen Yan didn't know Cheng Yaojin was here, and given Chen Yan's dislike for drinking, he brought two jars of wine to the door.

Naturally they came to find him.

At this time they came looking for him, does he even need to think about it?

Just these two simpletons, let them argue.

No matter how you argue, how you put on a brotherly front, today's job doesn't belong to you.

"Brother Cheng, you're exhausted, right?"

"Come, have something to soothe your throat."

Chen Yan considerately poured a cup for Cheng Yaojin first, then for Yuchi Gong, "Second brother Yuchi, you also drink."

Cheng Yaojin: "......"

Yuchi Gong: "......"

Qin Qiong found it somewhat funny; the kid was still that mischievous.

Perhaps because they were tired of arguing, or because facing three sons and nephews, the two had to save face, each sat down, no longer continuing the fight.

Cheng Yaojin downed the wine Chen Yan poured in one gulp, "Great uncle, you just say today, between me and Yuchi Laohei, who do you want us to…?"

"Right!" Yuchi Gong agreed, "We two, you must choose one today!"

As they spoke, both stared fiercely at Chen Yan.

They looked as if they wouldn't pick them, as if about to beat him up.

Qin Qiong knew it was his turn to step in, otherwise only Chen Yan would be in a bind.

"Um, you two old blacks… oh, no, now you should be great uncle." Qin Qiong cleared his throat, "I have a few words…"

"What are you saying!" Yuchi Gong said, dissatisfied, "Who do you think your big nephew is?"

"We only became in-laws two days ago, damn it!"

Qin Qiong glanced at him, "Aren't you calling Xiao Yan a brother? Xiao Yan calls me 'Marquis', you're of the same generation as Xiao Yan, so what's wrong with me calling you 'big nephew'?"

"I..."

"Stop saying 'me, me, me', listen to me first!" Qin Qiong didn't give Yuchi Gong a chance to speak, sternly said, "I told you before, I'm old, the blood I shed in wars long ago is almost gone!"

"Now my only wish is to go onto the battlefield once more."

"Xiao Yan understands me, knows my thoughts, so today he came bearing two jars of wine."

"You two big nephews, stop arguing!"

"You better get lost, you brat!" Yuchi Gong got angry as soon as he heard it, "One lie wasn't enough, now you damn well want to do it again?"

"What nonsense about the body being unfit, I'm old, I can't."

"All of you, get out of the way!"

"Do you have the nerve to say that with a clear conscience? Wasn't stealing one of my maidens enough last time?"

"You want me to expose you?"

Cheng Yaojin, more shrewd, caught the meaning in Qin Qiong's words.

Although some irritation was brushed off by Chen Yan, seeing there was fun to be had, he decided to tolerate it for now.

We'll deal with Chen Yan later!

Qin Qiong's old face flushed, he stuck out his neck and said, "How can you say I stole one of your maidens? The maiden from your family who is already involved with my husband—can that be called a theft?"

"So my family doesn't match yours, what of it?"

"Stop pulling me into this!" Yuchi Gong waved impatiently, "I won't argue with you about this, I can't win against you."

"Anyway my face is already down today, making me fetch water with a bamboo basket is impossible!"

"Chen kid, I know you have many tricks, give me a rule!"

"......"
