In the 5th year of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai died, and the Beiyang warlords gradually divided into three major factions: Zhi, Anhui, and Feng, with the support of Britain and the United States, controlled the provinces of Suzhou, Jiangxi, Hubei and Zhili in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Duan Qirui of the Anhui system, with the support of Japan, controlled the provinces of Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong, and Shaanxi, and Zhang Zuolin of the Feng Department took Japan as the backer and occupied the three northeastern provinces. Because no one had the ability to command the entire Beiyang army and regime, the three major factions were all manipulated by foreign powers, divided the provincial borders, divided them, annexed them, and fought endlessly, using the army as the main force to establish spheres of influence in the provinces.

After Li Yuanhong succeeded to the presidency, he competed for power and profit with Duan Qirui, who held real power in the central government, and there was a "government and court dispute". In July 1917, Zhang Xun was invited by Li Yuanhong to "mediate" and led 3,000 "pigtailed troops" into Beijing to restore the imperial system, arousing the opposition of the people of the whole country. Duan Qirui regarded himself as a "meritorious hero", re-appointed the premier of the state, and after seizing the power of the government, he inherited the mantle of Yuan Shikai and betrayed the country on his knees in an attempt to establish the dictatorship of the Anhui warlords, arousing the opposition of the bourgeois revolutionaries and the southwestern warlords. In August 1917, Sun Yat-sen served as the generalissimo of the ** government of the Republic of China, and then the first war to protect the law against Duan Qirui began. Under the suppression of the Beiyang Army, the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered setbacks, coupled with the contradictions within the military government, Sun Yat-sen resigned in anger in May 1918, and the French War was lost.

In the 1920 Zhiwan War, the direct warlords took advantage of the people's patriotism and the contradictions between the Anhui and other factions to unite with the Feng warlords to defeat the Anhui warlords, control the ********, and expand their territory. The team led by Wu Xian, the commander of a warlord in Hunan, won three cities in succession, and won the Shangfeng Commendation, Wu Xian returned to the camp and rewarded the officers and soldiers, the handsome and dashing Fang Xuan was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and even ended several firepower strongholds, so that the brigade drove straight in, and was rewarded by Wu Xian and promoted to the battalion, and his cousin Fang Min was also promoted to the company. At night, the camp was decorated with lanterns, feasted, wine and meat were dripping, officers and soldiers guessed and drank, you respect me, and shouts and shouts one after another. Wu Xian led his wife, concubines, and wives to sit at the main table in the atrium, some of the female dependents were in a commotion, some were slightly powdered, and some were charming and enchanting, but the third aunt was too widowed, smoking cigarettes, spitting smoke rings, neither toasting nor flattering, and coldly watching the people around them eat and drink. When Wu Xian's guard accompanied Wu Xian to the theater to watch the play, he was attracted and overwhelmed by the third aunt's appearance, but Wu Xian took a fancy to the third aunt's empress dowager and forcibly snatched it, and almost tied up the third aunt into the door, so he had to sigh. At this time, the Fu guard took the opportunity to walk into the third aunt and toast her with a wine glass, the third aunt glanced at him, just raised the wine glass, did not drink it, put it on the table again, and the Fu guard took an embarrassing sip and left with interest.

At the deputy table on the right, Fang Xuan and Fang Min were invited by the officers and soldiers at the same table to toast and drink, congratulations on their promotion, Fang Xuan and Fang Min thanked them one by one, after thirty years of drinking, the two of them blushed slightly, thanked everyone one by one, and walked to the main table to toast Wu Xian, the third aunt turned around and saw Fang Xuan, and was immediately attracted by Fang Xuan's handsome and graceful appearance, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground without noticing, and kept staring at Fang Xuan, watching Fang Xuan pass by his side, he deliberately touched the wine glass in his hand, and the wine spilled on his dress, Hurriedly stood up, Fang Xuan was taken aback, and hurriedly apologized to the third aunt, the Fu guards who were standing on the side saw this qiē from a distance, and threw the cigarette he was smoking on the ground fiercely, Fang Min saw Fang Xuan's situation, and quietly pulled Fang Xuan back to his seat.

One day, Fang Min received a letter from home, asking his brothers to take time to go home to worship their ancestors. Since leaving their hometown to join the direct warlords, the two brothers started from the first little soldiers, all the way to the crawl, participated in many battles, were born and died, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and gradually gained appreciation, all the way to the present, the two of them always want to go home after meritorious service and glory to their ancestors, so they have never returned to their hometown after coming out. Now with such glory, it is worth it to go home and see it, and make the old lady happy and happy. After reading the letter, Fang Min went to Fang Xuan with great interest to discuss the matter of going home, walked into Fang Xuan's barracks, only to see that there was no one in front of the table on the bed, and turned to look for it outside the door, and saw a orderly soldier busy asking, the orderly soldier told him that he had just seen Fang Xuan in the garden behind the barracks, Fang Min followed the road to look for it, passed through a stone path covered by a dense bamboo forest, climbed a rockery, and in the narrow passage behind the rockery, he saw Fang Xuan with the third aunt, who was wearing a green lotus dress, holding her hair, and inserting a small phoenix hairpin in her sideburns, shallow rouge, leaning on the mountain stone, kept testing tears with a handkerchief, Fang Xuan was at a loss to comfort her.

"Since marrying the master, I have been angry with the eldest wife and the second wife, if there were still people in my hometown, I would have run away a long time ago, I only hate me for being alone, no one to help, it's really hard." The third aunt said.

"If you marry a handsome man, you are a handsome person, don't think like this, let the handsome know that you will be punished." Fang Xuan persuaded.

"But I don't love him at all, he snatched me from the troupe." The third aunt said indignantly.

"It's all like this, you have to admit it." Fang Xuan said.

"Where is this living, in the future, you calculate me, I count you, just lest you get a little less and eat a less." The third aunt said.

"Living, every family is the same, how can there be no quarrel or quarrel, let alone everyone like you." Fang Xuan said.

"Are you married?" The third aunt turned her face and asked.

"I'm a father, and my daughters are 4 years old." Fang Xuan said with a smile.

"Your wife is beautiful." The third aunt asked with some envy.

"If you are from a small family, you can raise children." Fang Xuan said.

Fang Min deliberately coughed dryly, startling the two of them, the third aunt was too busy to turn around and leave in a hurry along the path, Fang Min asked while handing the letter to Fang Xuan:

"What are you doing? You have a private meeting with her, this has to be paid back after the commander knows, and you will be dealt with by military law, you don't want to live? ”

"Alas, she came to me several times, and I saw that she was pitiful, so I persuaded her."

Wu Xian led his troops to participate in the battle one after another, the saddle horse was tired, and the back pain was committed again, when Shangfeng asked him to send troops again, he had to send Fang Xuan and Fang Min to fight for him, Fang Xuan and Fang Min lived up to their expectations, led the team to cooperate with Shangfeng and won the battle again, Wu Xian was happy that his subordinates gave him a long face, arranged a family banquet, invited Fang Xuan and Fang Min to the house for a small gathering, the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, drank happily, and was interested, Wu Xian sent a servant to call the third aunt to come over and sing a song to help the fun, and the third aunt was too to invite Fang Xuan and Fang Min to come to the house for the banquet because she heard in advance, I have been thinking about how to find a way to come out to meet in the room, and now I saw the servant coming to pass the word, I was overjoyed, I was busy changing my clothes, dressing up, and walking with a pipa in my arms.

"What are you doing grinding and chirping, let us wait for a long time, hurry up and sing us a song, so that my brothers will be happy and happy." Wu Xianda urged impatiently.

Fang Xuan smiled and looked at the third aunt, the third aunt blushed and nodded, Fu Wei moved a chair to sit down for her, the third aunt stroked the pipa too lightly, whispered softly, and sang a song Suzhou Pingtan "Su Sanqi Solution", the aftermath lingered, the aftertaste was long, Wu Xian squinted his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, his fingers lightly tapped the beat, intoxicated. It was the first time Fang Min heard the third aunt sing a song, and although Wu Nong's soft language was not easy to understand, the euphemistic tone was something he had never heard. Fang Xuan listened quietly, although he had interacted with the third aunt a few times in private, he didn't expect the third aunt's comments to sing so gracefully, suddenly in the middle of the mountains and flowing waters, watching the clouds and the breeze light, watching the flowers bloom and the leaves falling, and the red dust has nothing to do with it. Fu Guards stood and watched coldly, the third aunt was the beautiful woman he dreamed of, but let Wu Xian take the lead, and when he was at a loss, Fang Xuan stepped in again, and he knew that he was not the enemy Fang Xuan in terms of appearance and military merits, but this breath in his heart really made him difficult to swallow, and secretly swore that he must let the third aunt be too thrown into his arms, and let Fang Xuan go to hell.

Fang Xuan stared at the third aunt too much, Fang Min quietly tugged at the corner of Fang Xuan's clothes and hinted with his eyes, Fang Xuan came back to his senses and continued to drink with Wu Xian until late at night.

Fang Xuan and Fang Min returned to the camp, a cold wind blew, Fang Min's wine surged up, Fang Xuan hurriedly helped him vomit in a quiet place, after Fang Min vomited, he felt much better, the two walked to the barracks together, and went back to the room to rest.

Fang Xuan fell on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a while, thinking about when he would go home with Fang Min to Wu Xian on leave, thinking about his relatives at home, especially his daughter Lingzhi, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and thinking about the delicate and loving appearance of the third aunt when she sang the song, lingering, he couldn't help tossing and turning on the bed, and suddenly heard movement outside the window, the soldier's habit made him alert, he gently got up and moved to the window, and through the sparse moonlight, he saw that the straw paper pasted on the window was torn a small hole, and the horn of a handkerchief stretched in and fluttered, Fang Xuan saw a plum blossom embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, and immediately knew that it was the third aunt who called him outside, and he couldn't think of it, and felt that he had failed her, so he got up and sat up and thought about it again and again, so he quietly got out of bed, gently opened the door, poked his head out to look outside, and saw that the patrolling guards had gone away, bowed down and walked out of the house, and walked around to the back of the house with his body close to the eaves, the third aunt was about to say something when she saw Fang Xuan coming out, but Fang Xuan covered her mouth and signaled her not to make a sound, and then looked left and right, pulled up the third aunt and went all the way to the small bamboo forest, and stopped in a clearing deep in the bamboo forest, The third aunt couldn't help but pounce on Fang Xuan's arms, Fang Xuan was caught off guard, hesitated a little, couldn't help but reach out and hug the third aunt, the two couldn't help but kiss each other urgently, the third aunt hooked Fang Xuan's neck with both hands, the handkerchief in her hand slipped to the ground, her undulating chest was close to Fang Xuan, sniffing the woman's breath exuded by the third aunt, so that Fang Xuan, who had not been close to the woman for a long time, could no longer hold it, and was horny, picked up the third aunt and walked into the dense bamboo forest to put it down, reached out and pulled away the third aunt's dress, leaned over and pasted it, The two hugged each other tightly, and the bamboo leaves flew all over the ground.

In the living room, Wu Xian was leisurely smoking a big cigarette, the third aunt was beating him on the side, the eldest wife and the second wife each led their sons in, competing to tell Wu Xian about each other's situation, Wu Xian ******** early, casually perfunctory, still lying down and smoking his own cigarettes, the two wives counted each other meanly, at this time the Fu guard walked in with a box and said to Wu Xian:

"Dashuai, this is sent from outside to honor you, you have seen it."

Wu Xian owed slightly, opened the box and saw that it was full of pearls, jade pendants, manao, jadeite and other jewelry, and the two wives immediately stopped arguing and stared at a box of jewelry, with a green light in their eyes.

"Let's see, which one do you like?" Wu Xian said to the third aunt.

The two wives stared at the third aunt closely, they were very unhappy, they were worried that the third aunt would be too picked, but the third aunt stood up and said without looking at the box:

"None of them I like."

"Take it and distribute it to the wives of each room, don't make any more noise about me here." Wu Xian said to the two wives.

The two ladies took the box, immediately put on smiling faces, and walked out together with a smile. After the third aunt served Wu Xian and fell asleep, she picked up the handkerchief and walked out of the living room, walking towards the garden, the Fu guard followed her quietly and walked to a small bridge, the Fu guard walked straight forward, stopped the third aunt, took out a pair of exquisite hostas from her pocket and handed them to the third aunt:

"This is for me, do you like it?" The Fu guard said with a flattering face.

The third aunt glanced at the hosta, then at the guard, and said disdainfully:

"How much did you withhold for the handsome?"

"How dare I, just looking at this pair of hostas is really exquisite, I always think that there must be a beautiful woman who deserves to wear it."

Fu Guards have been attracted by the third aunt's appearance since the day Wu Xian married the third aunt, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to get close, but the third aunt never put him in her eyes, and she never even looked at him with her eyes, so she has never been able to get the third aunt's heart.

"You can't use this thing to please me, even if I accept it, I won't dare to wear it out to show off, if the eldest wife and the second wife see it, there will be a good life for me." The third aunt turned her head to look at the stream and said.

"Those two wives are uninformed women, and this thing is going to fall into their hands, and it will be wasted." The guard Fu said as he wanted to put it on the head for the third aunt.

"It's better for you to keep it yourself, I'm going back." The third aunt blocked it with her hand, turned around and walked back, leaving the Fu guard standing in place in a daze, thinking about it, and still putting the hosta into her pocket.

In the vicinity of the camp where Wu Xian's team was stationed, there were often small groups of local bandits, who came to steal some food today, and stole guns unexpectedly tomorrow, disturbing the peace of the officers and soldiers. Wu Xian was so angry that he had to find the local government to quell the rebellion, and the government was full of old people, and there was nothing they could do except nod their heads and bow their heads.

One day, Wu Xian received a secret report from Shangfeng and learned that the bandits in the vicinity would gather in the cottage in the near future, pull the pole and pull the flag, trying to expand the territory and form a local force. Shangfeng instructed Wu Xian to destroy the den, capture the leader alive, and the rest of the people filled the team and strengthened the power. Wu Xian felt that this was a good opportunity, and gathered the team one by one, preparing to go out, only to see Fang Xuan running over with his stomach covered:

"Report, Dashuai, I accidentally had diarrhea these days."

Wu Xian looked at Fang Xuan's uncomfortable appearance and waved his hand:

"Don't participate this time, the mountains are high and the roads are steep, and you don't have the strength to do anything, so you can watch the camp at home." I took Fang Min to clean up these old witches in person. ”

After Wu Xian finished speaking, he mounted his horse and led Fang Min and other columns to march towards the deep mountains, Fang Xuan told Fang Min to suppress bandits is no better than fighting, and he should have more eyes along the way to protect the handsome.

Fu Guards saw the opportunity and secretly walked towards the third aunt's room, thinking that Wu Xian was not there in the past few days, and the third aunt was too unprotected, and he had a chance to take advantage of it. Pushing open the door, I saw that the third aunt was caressing the pipa, and when she saw the Fu guards coming in, she was obviously taken aback. The Fu guard closed the door with his backhand, approached the third aunt with a lewd smile, took out the pair of hostas from his pocket and shook them and said:

"I'm thinking about it, it's better to give this thing to you, don't live up to my good intentions for you."

"Well, you can put it on the table. If it's okay, you go out, I'm going to take a nap. The third aunt said.

"You'll have to wear it on your head for me to see, beauty." Fu Guard smiled evilly.

"I'm a handsome man, you have to be respectful." The third aunt said as she stepped back.

"I know this, but I just like you, from the day you entered this mansion, if there was no handsome, I would have let you be my beautiful lady a long time ago." The Fu guard couldn't wait to forcibly pick up the third aunt and put her on the bed, while untying her clothes, she pounced on it, tore the third aunt's dress, the third aunt was too desperate to struggle and scream, to no avail, just when the Fu guard wanted to molest her, he reached out and touched the scissors placed at the head of the bed, so he pointed the scissors at the Fu guard, the Fu guard was startled, stopped and said:

"Little girl, do you dare to touch me?"

"I'll die for you." The third aunt put the scissors to her throat with her backhand, biting her lip angrily and staring at the guard.

The Fu guard reluctantly let go of his hand and got out of bed, and said while picking up his clothes:

"Count you ruthless, sooner or later I'll clean you up." Slammed the door and left.

The third aunt dropped the scissors, covered her face with her hands, and cried bitterly.

After Fang Xuan rested for two days, he felt much better, so he went out to walk around the camp headquarters, and the desire to go home with Fang Min to worship his ancestors was postponed again and again, thinking about the situation where the old ladies wanted to wear it, he felt guilty for a while, so he made up his mind that after Fang Min and Wu Xian came back from suppressing the bandits, they would definitely take leave and return to their hometown.

Fang Xuan was planning to go home while walking, but he didn't expect to meet the third aunt, and seeing the third aunt's sad face, he couldn't help but step forward and ask:

"What's wrong with you? What's uncomfortable? ”

"Nothing." The third aunt replied too lazily.

Fang Xuan looked at the third aunt who was not like the past, and was puzzled in his heart, and after following her for a long time, he couldn't help but ask:

"Are you angry with the wives again?"

"Those gases are nothing, I'm disgusting that guard." The third aunt said in disgust.

"He is the person in front of the handsome, and he can't afford to offend." Fang Xuan said.

"Are you afraid of him, then?" The third aunt turned around and stared at Fang Xuan and asked.

"Don't be afraid, we all do our own things and don't offend each other." Fang Xuan said.

The two talked while walking together, but unexpectedly they were glimpsed by the Fu guards hiding in the shadows, and saw the third aunt and Fang Xuan walking together leisurely and chatting, like a pair of lovers, Fu guards gritted their teeth with hatred in their hearts, so they simply walked straight towards the two of them.

"You two are so interested, you are really talented men and women." The guard said teasingly.

"Fu guard, you can't say that." Fang Xuan said to the guards.

"I'll take a walk with the battalion commander and talk about what's going on with you." The third aunt said impatiently.

"Just kidding, don't be angry. Battalion Commander Fang, I didn't go to suppress the bandits with the commander this time, but I lost the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. The guard continued to say teasingly.

"I was not feeling well, and the handsome asked me to stay. There is a lot of time to rush and kill, so you have to rest and recuperate. Fang Xuan said.

"Camp Commander Fang, what can you know about this kind of person who has served people all his life? Don't bother talking. The third aunt said with disdain.

The Fu guards were attacked by the two of them, and they couldn't speak for a while, standing awkwardly.

"I'm going back, farewell." The third aunt nodded slightly, turned around and raised her handkerchief and walked away to the right.

"I'm going to go somewhere else." Fang Xuan turned around and walked away to the left, leaving one of the guards in place.

Watching the two of them walk away left and right, Fu Wei knew that he was not interesting, and thought hatefully: One day you two steal chickens and dogs and be caught by me, I want you two to look good.

On this day, the third aunt was bored in the room alone, Wu Xian walked for a few days, no one cared about her, she was also happy, usually too lazy to go to the big room to eat, the maid did not send over, nor was she angry, when the weather was good, she would go out for a walk, and if the weather was bad, she would stay in the room to drink and sing. Because he was always afraid of being targeted by the Fu guards, he rarely had contact with Fang Xuan, but in his heart, he was always looking forward to being able to linger with Fang Xuanying's dreams. Thinking of this, he opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine, took it in his hand and drank it one after another, slowly the strength of the wine came up, his eyes seemed to see Fang Xuan walking towards him in a dashing manner, and on a whim he called the servants to the camp to invite Fang Xuan over.

Fang Xuan got the maid's message, hesitated in his heart, thinking of the Fu guard's thief eyebrows and thief eyes, afraid of being seen through by him, so he pretended to casually ask the maid Fu Guard, saying that he wanted to discuss something with the Fu guard, the servant replied that the Fu guard went to the gambling hall to gamble money, so he settled down a little, walked straight to the third aunt's room with the servant, pushed open the door, and saw that the third aunt was wearing a thin shirt, holding a wine glass in her hand, and sitting on the edge of the table with sleepy eyes, seeing Fang Xuan push the door in, she said in a snort:

"You're finally here, come here, don't be afraid, let's drink some wine and talk, don't do anything."

Fang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down, took off the wine glass in the third aunt's hand and said:

"It's not good for you to drink like this all day long, it will hurt your body."

"I'm living one day at a time, what else can I do?" The third aunt reached out and picked up the wine glass and took another sip.

"Why don't you have a child with Dashuai, with a child, you won't be so boring." Fang Xuan persuaded.

"Is there a shortage of children? He can't take care of so many children, and if I want to have children, I'm afraid that I will not be as good as me, don't let my children come to this world to suffer. The third aunt put down her wine glass and stood up and said.

Fang Xuan didn't know what to say, he sat and watched the third aunt go and get a wine glass, pour the wine and bring it to him, reluctantly took it and took a sip with him, and looked around.

"Don't be afraid, the guard Fu went to the gambling hall to gamble today, and there is no one in this courtyard." The third aunt said.

"The guards didn't find out about our business, did they?" Fang Xuan asked softly.

"He's a brute himself, what are you afraid of him doing?" The third aunt was too angry to tell Fang Xuan about the last time the guards had bullied her, Fang Xuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, ready to find an opportunity to teach the guards a lesson.

The two of them chatted and drank, and before they knew it, it was dusk, Fang Xuan was overwhelmed by alcohol, leaning on the chair and drowsy, the third aunt approached, snuggled him, reached out and stroked his cheeks, hair, and ears, and couldn't help kissing his face affectionately, the aroma emitted from his body made Fang Xuan smell intoxicated, and in a trance, he picked up the third aunt and went to bed.

Fu guards in the gambling hall threw a thousand pounds, luck is quite good, won a few games, the silver in front of him piled up into a hill, happily smoked and shouted to everyone to bet quickly, but after a few games, luck reversed, the silver in front of them fell into the hands of others, Fu guards were not convinced, simply took out all the silver they brought, but still couldn't turn over the plate, had to watch the silver disperse, and left dejectedly.

Returning to Wu Xian's mansion, he walked into his room and rummaged through the cabinets to find the remaining silver, and remembered for a moment that the pair of hostas that were placed in the third aunt's room last time might be used as some gambling money, so he walked towards the third aunt's courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, the Fu guard walked to the door lightly, carefully pushed open a crack in the door, squinted his eyes and looked inside, and then boldly entered, there was a strong smell of wine in the house, the bottle on the small round table was crooked, and the clothes, handkerchiefs, belts, etc. were thrown on the ground, the Fu guard felt that something was wrong, and quietly walked inside, but he didn't expect to see Fang Xuan and the third aunt sleeping sweetly together, and he didn't notice that someone came in at all, the Fu guard's eyes widened with anger, and he was about to have a seizure, and suddenly thought about it, and had a plan, quietly retreated, locked the door firmly outside the door, and sent someone to tell Wu Xian overnight.

After Wu Xianzi led the Fang Min team into the mountain, he originally thought that he would capture the bandit leader alive without destroying the force, and then go back to his home, who knew that the mountains and forests were dense along the way, and the team was difficult to march, and was also shot cold by the bandits from time to time, Wu Xian ordered the soldiers to shoot indiscriminately, and continued to move forward, so they stopped and stopped, and finally came to the cave where the bandits were hiding.

Wu Xian and Fang Min looked up, and knew that the terrain was very unfavorable, the cave was located at the commanding height of the mountain, and if they wanted to rush up, they would inevitably fall into the narrow pass in front of the cave. Wu Xian then ordered the team to stop temporarily, disperse into two teams, surround the mountain, and trap the bandits first. After two days passed, the bandits still had no intention of surrendering, but let the team be pinned down by the bandits, Wu Xian was so angry that he walked around on the ground, and he couldn't think of a good way for a while.

Fang Min took a few soldiers to carefully check the nearby terrain, there were two big trees at the narrow pass in front of the cave, if they could sneak up after dark while the bandits were not paying attention, and throw the explosives down the opening of the explosion and the cave door, the team would take the opportunity to rush up again, and they would be able to take the bandits' den in one fell swoop. So Fang Min reported this idea to Wu Xian, and Wu Xian was overjoyed and immediately ordered the team to prepare for a night attack.

In the cave, a few lit torches were lit, the smoke was wafering, the light was dim, several large bandit leaders sat on stone benches drinking and eating meat, and the rest of the bandits were scattered in the corners, exhausted from fighting against Wu Xian's troops for days, and they were staggering and napping one by one.

"Don't look at them as regular troops, when they come to our mountain, they can't help us." A bandit leader said.

"If you want to besiege us, it's so easy, let them taste the benefits of the mosquitoes in this mountain first." Another bandit leader said.

"Let the brothers outside the door be in good spirits, let's sleep well, and continue to play with them tomorrow."

"Hahaha!"

Late at night, Fang Min tied up explosives with a few soldiers, handed them to two agile soldiers to carry on their backs, and the two soldiers quietly got into the woods with their waists bent, and after slowly approaching the two big trees, they quickly climbed up, Wu Xian and Fang Min saw it in their eyes, and gestured for the soldiers to prepare. The machine gunners at the pass did not see any movement, but gradually relaxed their vigilance, yawned a few times in succession, and fell asleep against the machine guns.

Fang Min saw that the soldiers had unleashed the explosives on the tree, so he put his fingers in his mouth and whistled, the two soldiers on the tree pulled the bullet line and threw the explosives package, one exploded at the pass, and the other sounded in front of the cave, and suddenly the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, Wu Xian and Fang Min immediately led the team to rush up, a burst of wild shooting, several bandits guarding the cave door were immediately killed, Fang Min took the lead in rushing into the cave, and quickly subdued the bandits by the light of the torch, Wu Xian walked to a bandit leader, and angrily pointed a gun to his head:

"You little thieves nest in this cave all day long and want to rebel, Lao Tzu killed you."

"Spare your life, sir." The leader of the bandits was so frightened that he fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

"Who else wants to rebel, stand up for me." Wu Xian yelled at the other bandits.

The bandits knelt down one by one, kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, Fang Min concentrated the guns he collected in front of Wu Xian, Wu Xian picked up a gun and looked at it and said:

"You have stolen chickens and dogs on my head, if you want the whole family to eat, follow me out to fight the world, make meritorious contributions, and be promoted, naturally there will be your benefits, what is the benefit of nesting here. Those who went out with me were given two pieces of silver, and those who didn't go were given a bullet. ”

At this time, a soldier ran over and whispered to Wu Xian, Wu Xian ordered Fang Min to stay and take care of the rest of the affairs, and he took a few soldiers to rush back overnight.

As soon as Wu Xian returned to the house late at night and sat down, a group of wives and concubines had already received the news spread by the Fu guards, and they all gathered around to complain to Wu Xian, accusing the third aunt of being too unruly, violating morals, and insulting the family style, the Fu guards ran in quickly, walked into Wu Xian's side, and whispered to Wu Xian for a while, only to see Wu Xian's face getting greener and bluer, and a group of wives and concubines and wives did not dare to say anything more, Wu Xian angrily led everyone to the courtyard of the third aunt, and asked the Fu guards to open the door and personally enter the room to check, I saw that the third aunt and Fang Xuan were unclothed, their sleepy eyes were loose, and the two of them had not woken up because of too much drinking.

Seeing this scene, the wives and concubines and wives who were walking behind Wu Xian rushed up and grabbed and scolded indiscriminately, tearing the third aunt's hair, tearing her pajamas, and leaving bruises and purple swollen marks on her face, before Fang Xuan could see what was going on, she was dragged out of bed by the Fu guards and pushed down at Wu Xian's feet, Wu Xian was so angry that he pulled out his pistol and was about to shoot at Fang Xuan's head, but the Fu guards hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him:

"Dashuai, isn't it too cheap for you to do this, and it will disgrace you. In my opinion, don't be in a hurry for this meeting, and slowly clean up the two of them to resolve their hatred. ”

"Tie it up first, let it be dealt with by the family law, and let you all see the end of betraying me." Wu Xian shouted angrily.

A group of guards rushed up to tie up Fang Xuan and the third aunt, escorted them to the small firewood room in the backyard, closed the door, and left two guards to guard them.

In the small firewood room, Fang Xuan and the third aunt were sitting on the ground back to back, the sky outside was getting brighter and brighter, the cold air of the early morning hit, the two of them were shivering with cold, and the third aunt couldn't help but choke:

"It's all my fault that hurt you, it's my fault, I'm sorry for you."

"Now, don't say it anymore, be stronger." Fang Xuan comforted.

"Will he kill us?" The third aunt asked.

"I don't know, but I can't escape this time. The big marshal came back in such a timely manner, and there was no movement beforehand. Fang Xuan said.

"It must be the one who did it with the guards, I don't think he's ever been kind. Hum! The third aunt said through gritted teeth.

"I don't know if my brother Fang Min has come back, whether he will be implicated because of this, I hope that the big marshal will not be angry with him for the sake of our past meritorious service." Fang Xuan said.

"I'm so cold." The third aunt muttered in a low voice.

"I'll be warmer by my legs. When someone brings food, let's beg them. Fang Xuan said.

The two of them were next to each other, Fang Xuan held the third aunt's hand and encouraged her not to be afraid, and the two of them just sat and waited, but a morning passed, and no one came.

Fang Min led the soldiers to clean up all the remaining bandits, guns and ammunition in the bandits' den, and then issued a piece of silver to the old, weak, and disabled bandits, and sent them home, and the rest of the bandits were all incorporated into the team, and each person was given two pieces of silver, and all the guns and ammunition were collected and packed and brought back to the camp. The bandits in the nearby hills fled in all directions, never to be offended again.

Fang Min returned to the camp with a large group of people, and after handing over the bandits, guns and ammunition, he went to find Fang Xuan, and he didn't see Fang Xuan in front of the house, behind the house, in the garden, and on the rockery, so he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, so he went back to find a servant to ask, and the orderly told Fang that the battalion commander went to Wu Xian's mansion yesterday and had not come back so far. Fang Min suddenly felt suspicious, thinking of the incident where Wu Xian rushed back overnight last night, could it be related to Fang Xuan, maybe they agreed to discuss the matter on the team, but it was not so hurried. Fang Min couldn't figure it out when he thought about it, so he decided to go to Wu Xian's Mansion to have a look in person.

Wu Xian was tired along the way, and because of last night's incident, he didn't go to bed until late. So when I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Xian came out lazily in his pajamas, stretched out in the garden, and the guards immediately brought the brewed tea to Wu Xian, Wu Xian took it and took a sip, walked to the side of the recliner and lay down, squinted and yawned.

"Dashuai, I'll ask them to bring the food." The Fu guard said with a bow.

"Don't worry, I'll nourish my spirit first." Wu Xian waved his hand and said.

Fang Min entered the mansion, and the servant told Wu Xian that he was in the garden, so he walked towards the garden, and saw that the Fu guards were serving carefully, and they slowed down and did not dare to come to the court, and when they were about to come to the front, the Fu guards surprised him with a word, and quickly dodged and hid behind a big rock.

"Dashuai, have you figured out what to do with Fang Xuan?" Guard Fu asked.

"This pair of dogs and men, killing a thousand knives can't solve my hatred." Wu Xian opened his eyes and said.

"Use the family law to deal with it, only the people in the family know, and I don't know if there will be people in the team who will be offended in the future." Guard Fu said tentatively.

"What do you have a good idea, tell me." Wu Xian asked.

"Family rules and military discipline are used together, the two of them are 'immersed in pig cages', and thrown into the Xiangjiang River to feed the fish, so that the family and the team can take a look, who will dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head in the future?" Fu Guard said with a smile.

"Okay, just use your method, prepare me for a good life, and deal with this dog man and woman tomorrow." Wu Xian said with a snort.

When Fang Min heard this, his face was already frightened, taking advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention, he quietly walked away, and quickly escaped from Wu Xian's mansion, in order to be unprepared, after returning to the camp, he packed all the gold and silver he had collected, and then checked the firearms on his body, and then ran to Fang Xuan's residence, took out Fang Xuan's savings for many years, and took Fang Xuan's gun with him, and took Fang Xuan's gun with him, while the officers and soldiers were taking a nap, he lied to the soldiers on duty to go out to do something, and then left the camp, went to the street to find a small inn to live in, and changed into military uniforms, Put on civilian clothes, make up your mind to enter Wu Xian's mansion at night to find Fang Xuan's whereabouts, and then wait for the plane to rescue and escape back to his hometown.

In the afternoon, after the guards served Wu Xian, he walked towards the small firewood room, he walked the guards who guarded it, and when he saw that there was no one, he entered the room alone.

Fang Xuan and the third aunt were too cold and hungry, they had already been exhausted and leaned on each other to fall asleep, the Fu guards walked over to untie the rope, dragged Fang Xuan aside, and punched and kicked Fang Xuan, Fang Xuan was beaten to the point that his mouth and nose were bleeding, but he couldn't fight back.

"Don't hit him, I beg you not to hit him, you let us go." The third aunt shouted.

"Don't you just look at how good he looks? I'll show you another one. Hum! After the Fu guard finished speaking, he punched him again, and Fang Xuan was knocked to the ground.

The third aunt looked at the guard Fu with wide eyes, eager to kill him with her own hands.

"I knew it was you who made it, you brute, you can't die well, you will be retributed, you will be sent by heaven." The third aunt scolded too loudly.

The Fu guards threw down Xia Xuan and walked towards the third aunt step by step, revealing her evil and obscene face.

"Little lady, I've always been good to you, but you just don't buy my account, because of the handsome face, I don't dare to do anything to you. Now that the handsome man doesn't protect you, can you still give me a face? The guard said.

"You rotten person, you are worse than a brute." The third aunt cursed.

The guard Fu couldn't help but say, picked up the third aunt and walked to the side of a haystack in the house, put down the third aunt, opened the third aunt's clothes in front of Fang Xuan, and raped the third aunt obscenely, and after satisfying the ****, he got up and dressed and left.

Late at night, after Fang Min was properly equipped in the small inn, he put on a turban, quietly slipped out of the inn, followed the path towards Wu Xian's mansion, and stopped about 200 meters in front of the gate of Wu Xian's mansion, only to see a few soldiers standing guard in front of the gate walking back and forth, thinking that he had just entered during the day and was easy to be recognized by the soldiers, so he turned around and went to the outside of the back garden wall of Wu Xian's mansion in the dark along the alleyway, listened to the lack of movement inside the wall, took out the rope and threw the end with the hook upward, and the hook hooked the carved window inside the wall, After Fang Min tried it, he flipped into it along the rope.

When Fang Min came to Wu Xian's Mansion in the past, he always came with Fang Xuan, at most, he turned around in the front yard, and he had never entered the backyard, so he was not familiar with the situation inside. Fang Min walked along the root corner of the wall to the side, but he was blocked after not going far, and when he returned and walked in the opposite direction, he was blocked by a mountain of rocks, and after tossing back and forth, he returned to the same place. Fang Min thought about it for a while, and decided to climb on the roof to find a way out, so he took off the rope, threw it to the roof, and climbed up with his waist bent.

Fang Min looked down the roof, the backyard was calm and silent, and there were no lights, only a few soldiers patrolling by with a wolf dog every once in a while. Because Fang Min was not familiar with the road, so he didn't dare to venture down to look for it, after walking to the edge of the ridge next to the wall, he looked back at the entire backyard, pondered for a while, couldn't help but sigh, and didn't pay attention, a piece of tile under his feet was loosened, and he slipped down with a "bang", and the patrol soldiers who had already walked over immediately turned around and let go of the wolf dog he was leading, and the wolf dog barked and pounced quickly, and the patrol soldiers followed closely, Fang Min saw that the situation was not good, and quickly turned around and jumped off the roof and disappeared into the night. When the patrol soldiers arrived, they looked up and down, left and right, and found nothing unusual, muttering to each other that it might be caused by a wild cat, and led the wolfdog back one by one. When the soldiers standing guard in front of the house heard the dog barking, they looked left and right at each other, said "there are too many wild cats," and then leaned against the door again.

Fang Xuan and the third aunt were too close to each other in the house, after the two of them were brutalized by the Fu guards during the day, they were already helpless, and the Fu guards ordered not to send food in, the two of them felt that there was no hope of survival, Fang Xuan thought that after Wu Xian came back, Fang Min should also come back, but he was unable to send a letter to Fang Min. Hearing the sound of roof tiles sliding, he was wondering in his heart, as the sound of dogs barking and the footsteps of soldiers approached, the glimmer of hope that rose in his heart was disappointed again, thinking that Fang Min had better not be like this.

The next day, Fu guards arranged for the guards to set up a platform by the Xiangjiang River, put a row of chairs on the platform, Wu Xian and his family sat on the platform, the whole team gathered, the officers and soldiers stood on both sides, and the stage made a bamboo basket with bamboo strips, only to listen to Wu Xian's order, several guards pushed Fang Xuan and the third aunt to come forward, the two of them were beaten to the ground, gray faces, completely lost their former appearance, the officers and soldiers under the stage saw them in such a miserable state, their eyes widened, and they sighed.

"Okay, you Fang Xuan, even if I look away, I treat you as a brother and give you a promotion, and you actually colluded with this shameless slut behind my back, cuckolded me, and humiliated me." Wu Xian said.

"If you want to kill me, you will come at me, I will seduce him." The third aunt shouted.

"You shameless slut, I married you and entered the door, and treated you with good food and drink, and you did such a shameless thing." Wu Xian pointed at the third aunt and scolded.

"Dashuai, my Fang Xuan has followed you from birth to death for all these years, and I have never betrayed you, I have nothing to say if you want to take me under the knife, but I also want to remind you to be wary of the femme fatale people around you." Fang Xuan said loudly.

"You're dying, and you still want to trap people." Fu guards robbed Bai Dao.

"Hmph, I, Wu Xian, am not unbrotherly, but you have bullied me, and I am not easy to provoke. Come, brethren, show me that whoever betrays me in the future will be doomed to me. Throw me into the river and feed the fish. Wu Xian said loudly.

After the guards instructed the guards to tie up Fang Xuan and the third aunt, they stuffed a towel in their mouths and put them into the bamboo basket under the stage, a group of guards lifted up, passed through the middle passage of the officers and soldiers of the team, and walked towards a fishing boat parked by the river.
