Chapter 31: Sword God's Mansion
"Ugh!" Xiaodouzi also recognized me at this time, and he screamed and ran to the house, shouting loudly as he ran, "It's amazing, the fifth young master is back!" β
I was angry and funny, and scolded him: "What are you shouting, it's not a devil who has entered the village - stinky boy, you should open the door for me first!" β
"Yes, yes." Little Beanzi turned around and said to me through the crack in the door, "The little one is so happy that he is confused. He ran a few steps behind the door, and chiseled an axe in his hand, and I wondered, "What are you doing when you open the door?" β
Xiaodouzi said: "Fifth Young Master, wait a minute, there is something strange on this door." He wrenched and tugged at the door, and finally opened the door.
I couldn't help but laugh when I entered the door, it turned out that in addition to the latch, the people of Shifu added a lot of "materials" to this door, such as wooden chains and the like, nailed densely with nails, and there was even a bedside that I don't know who replaced it, no wonder Xiaodouzi was busy for a long time.
"The Marshal's Mansion has made you look like a miser's storehouse, and I say you're really good enough."
Xiao Douzi said ashamedly: "The little ones heard that Master Gu was in turmoil in the palace, and they were so frightened that the six gods were left without a master-Fifth Young Master, aren't you on the front line, why did you come back?" β
Before I could speak, I heard someone say anxiously: "Is it really my Di Zai coming back?" With the sound of footsteps, the eldest lady, that is, my cheap mother, came out of the backyard with a group of old mothers and maids, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw me, and stepped forward to take my hand and said, "Gorou, it's really you!" I was also slightly moved and said, "Mother, it's me." "For a while, Shi Fei's wife Li Keying and Shi Dong's wife Zhao Chunrui both stepped forward to meet, I saluted one by one, and saw Shi Dong's newly acquired wife Gui Zhi hiding in the back, although she was gorgeously dressed, but she still had the simplicity of a country girl, and she just smiled lightly when she saw me.
Zhao Chunrui saw the door open, and was so frightened that he shouted: "Come on, hurry, quickly nail the gate again!" β
I laughed and said, "Third aunt, you nailed the door to let us walk the dog hole?" β
Zhao Chunrui trembled and said: "You don't know yet, Gu Taishi made a rebellion and surrounded the palace with soldiers, people guessed that the old lady would lead troops into King Jingqin, and our historian is now a thorn in Gu Taishi's eyes." β
I pretended to be amazed and said, "So you can stop the army by nailing some wooden strips to the door?" I'll have to try it next time I'm defending the city. β
After all, Li Keying is the general's daughter, and when she heard the banter in my words, she smiled and said: "Chunrui, don't listen to his nonsense, Wulang's entry into Beijing is related to this matter." β
Zhao Chunrui thought about it reasonably, and then said in a startled manner: "Then why don't you go to the palace to rescue the driver, why do you run home?" "These three aunts are the daughters of the imperial historian, and there is still a political consciousness of putting public before private...... Xiaodouzi came out and said: "Forgive the little one, the fifth young master is invincible, and Gu Taishi has been cleaned up by the fifth young master." β
I laughed and said, "This time it was Xiaodouzi who guessed correctly." When everyone heard this, they were amazed and delighted.
Xiao Douzi suddenly felt supreme honor, and said proudly: "Of course, who is the fifth young master?" That's our fierce sword god! Then his eyes lit up and said, "Young Master, we already know about the glorious deeds of you single-handedly killing Chen Zhiyuan, scaring off the 800,000 army of Tailang alone, and ......."
The eldest lady's face sank and said, "Little Bean, are you still letting the fifth young master rest?" β
Little Beans hurriedly shut up. I smiled, and as everyone rushed to the backyard, on the way to go to the palace to rescue the driver, how to capture Mrs. Gu Master and son said it briefly, several women were speechless, and Xiaodouzi even pricked up her ears and followed us closely, lest she miss a word.
After talking about the rescue, I told a few aunts about the situation of their respective men and sons on the front line for a long time, so that they didn't have to worry. Zhao Chunrui said with emotion: "Fortunately, Di Jia's marriage had an accident in the middle, otherwise our Shi family would not be able to wash it away, and the Gu family's father and son, the traitors, have never been well-intentioned!" She asked me, "Is Dija okay with you?" "Shi Dijia escaped from marriage and ran into my left army, and Shi Dong has already told her in a letter to her family, so it's not a secret.
Thinking of Shi Dijia, I was slightly uncomfortable and said, "Sister, she is very good." β
The eldest lady said: "Don't talk about these things first, Di Zai came back with great difficulty, let's have a good reunion." While ordering people to set up meals in the living room, she also ordered to take out the lanterns and flags hung by the Shifu during the New Year's holidays and hang them, and for a time everyone in the Shifu was full of joy and everyone was happy.
At the dinner table, because there is no other man in Shifu, the eldest lady and the three aunts will accompany me to drink together, I detailed the anecdotes in the army and the experience before the battle, Li Keying drank a few more glasses, and after hearing Shi Dong's defeat outside Lizhou City, he actually blamed Shi Dong's mistakes, Zhao Chunrui usually has ears and eyes, and naturally knows a lot of military allusions, the two of them argued on the matter, the eldest lady also persuaded a few words at first, and later joined the debate competitionβ¦β¦ When I went to bed at night, the eldest lady sent her own personal maid to serve me, I was in the familiar courtyard, looking at the gentle and pretty little maid, but I always felt that it was not as kind as the little black face of the green calyx, and I thought that the next time we met, I might not know how to get along, and I couldn't help but feel confused for a while............ The next day, I had eaten and wandered around early, and when I walked to the edge of the pavilion, I saw that this place was surrounded by people, Xiaodouzi sat high on the top of the rockery, dancing and said: "It is said that Gu Taishi led 10,000 elite soldiers to surround the palace with three layers inside and three layers outside, and threatened to capture the current saint alive - it turns out that this old guy is delusional and wants to establish himself as the king, and launched a mutiny when our old lady led the army to march, and the palace at this time can be said to be in danger, and the saint was still a little worried at first, But in a few moments he confidently said to the rebels: 'My helpers are coming soon, and your time of death is coming!' Of course, Master Gu refused to believe it, and the Holy Lord suddenly pointed to the sky and said, 'Look up! ββ¦β¦β
The people below became excited, and some people whispered: "The fifth young master is about to appear!" β
Xiaodouzi glared at the man and continued: "The rebels are skeptical, some people can't help but look up, this look is terrible, I saw the sky shining, the fifth young master stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds, his left hand just waved like this, half of the capital fell into the sky......"
There is a humane below: "You said that half of the capital collapsed, so why didn't we feel it?" β
Xiaodouzi said: "Because the palace is in the west city, we are in the east city, stupid!" β
The man was about to speak, but a groom next to him stopped him and said, "Listen to Xiaodouzi first." β
Xiaodouzi said triumphantly: "With such a wave of the fifth young master, the rebels were killed and wounded by more than half of them......"
The man who had originally retorted immediately said: "Then the fifth young master waved like that again, and the other half of the capital also collapsed - why didn't I feel it this time?" β
Xiaodouzi said disdainfully: "Who said that the fifth young master waved like that? When the rebels saw that he was so powerful, the rest of the people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the fifth young master received his magical powers and fell. β
Everyone laughed and said, "I see." β
Xiaodouzi said: "But that Gu Taishi is also a master around him, among which the eight King Kongs are the most powerful, these eight people have always been dissatisfied with the young master, at this time, they swarmed up, surrounded the young master from all directions, if our young master flies to the sky again, these eight people will naturally not be able to surround him, but in order to convince them to lose, the young master first used a trick to explore the sea, and then used a move to sweep the thousands of troops, and the four King Kongs in front were all beaten down, and the young master did not look back, and the four behind were also knocked to the ground, It's just that I can't say what moves the young master used this time. β
There was a humane below: "The fifth young master doesn't look back, how do you know that there are four people behind?" Someone in the crowd immediately said: "I know this, people with strong martial arts will see and listen to all directions, and the fifth young master's basic kung fu as a sword god is of course not a problem." β
The more I listened to them, the more mysterious they became, I couldn't hold back my laughter, and said loudly: "Xiaodouzi, are you commenting on books again?" β
When everyone saw that it was me, they hula and surrounded them, and said gossipingly: "Fifth young master, is what Xiaodouzi said true?" β
In fact, the story of Xiaodouzi is basically in line with the facts in addition to adding oil and vinegar, he followed behind when I told the ladies yesterday, what so-called Eight King Kong naturally refers to the eight masters of Hejis, but I didn't say the true identity of Gu, so Xiaodouzi took it for granted that he wanted to establish himself as a king.
Xiaodouzi was afraid that I would expose him, so he waved his hands and said: "You all said that I was bragging, but this time the fifth young master is back, you ask him in person, is it true that the young master killed Chen Zhiyuan, the pioneer of Heggis, and scared the 800,000 army of Tailang?" β
There was a humane in the crowd: "Of course, these are true in the military newspapers of the imperial court, we can't believe your nonsense." At this time, some people also said: "I have a fellow villager who is a father-in-law in the palace, we just met in the morning, according to what he said yesterday, the situation was really critical yesterday, how the fifth young master killed the rebels, he didn't see it in person, but it was true that it fell from the sky, and the rebellion was stopped in less than half an hour after the fifth young master, and the emperor had personally promised to make the fifth young master the prince!" β
Xiaodouzi immediately said, "Did you hear it?" I'm not lying, am I? β
I kicked him in the ass and said, "You haven't lied yet?" If I can make half of the capital collapse with such a swing, then you won't be buried when I catch the flies, young master? Everyone laughed, and Xiaodouzi smiled and said, "Young Master, don't you want to bury us?" Isn't it hilarious when I say this, at most nine points of truth plus one point of exaggeration. β
I said, "Why don't you write a novel with the title of "My Son with the Fifth Young Master"?" β
Unexpectedly, Xiaodouzi said seriously: "The little one has already had this idea." β
"Oh, then why don't you write?"
Xiaodouzi smiled and said: "The little one is learning to read and write, and when I learn the culture well, I will definitely write a book for the young master." β
An old woman in the crowd said: "It's true, Xiaodouzi's house is full of calligraphy, but the speed of literacy is a little slower, and I know six words in seven days." The crowd burst into laughter again. I also smiled and said, "It's good to have this heart, as long as the work is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle." β
Xiao Douzi said with a dignified expression: "The fifth young master is really good at writing, 'as long as the work is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle', I have to write down this sentence - how to write only one word?" β
Everyone: "......"
β¦β¦ I didn't go out all day, I was afraid of Zhu Xiaofeng's call, but there was no movement until the evening, Gu Taishi's rebellion shocked the whole country, and the capital was even more smoky, Zhu Xiaofeng wanted to calm people's hearts in the shortest possible time, set things right, and deal with everything that his subordinates should reward and punish one by one, and it would be difficult to find time. At night, when the lantern was held, the oolong came back by itself, and it should have come back in a walk, I broke up with it outside the capital, and it should have arrived this morning at the latest at its speed, this beast may have known that once he entered the Shifu, he would have a rare opportunity to go out, and he walked around the capital for a day before returning home...... The next day was idle, every nerve in the army was tense, this will be idle but not used to it, I was really bored and rode the oolong to see my "palace" under construction.
I went to take a look and realized that my new mansion is the largest private residence in the whole capital, more than double the size of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the current Prime Minister Lin Chengen, and 50 acres more than the Marshal's Mansion of Shi Cundao. Although it has not yet been built, it has begun to take shape, and the buildings and waterways in it are readily available, and it is rare that every flower and grass are kept improving, and it is still a little more elegant than the palace of Honglie. This project by the Ministry of Engineering Shangshu personally served as the chief engineer, the Ministry of Industry officials became the foreman, today on duty in this supervisor is a to give things, he heard that I personally came to check the mansion, three steps and two steps out of the reception, led me around the house full circle, while explaining in detail: "The emperor said, the sword god residence is extraordinary, not only to show the sword god mind, but also to chic atmosphere, you see these flowers and plants in the courtyard, all of them are rare varieties transplanted from the whole country, you look at the bricks and tiles on the beams of this roof, It's all the handwriting of skilled craftsmen from all over the world......"
I nodded indiscriminately and said, "The surrounding demolition work is going well, right?" β
The official was stunned for a moment and said, "Smooth, the people are deeply honored to hear that it is to build a house for the Sword God." β
"Well, the compensation must be in place, the demolition of one yard must be repaid, and no forced demolition incidents will be allowed."
"Uh...... Be. β
While talking nonsense, I secretly regretted to myself: "I'm afraid I can't live in such a good house." "Even if my identity is never revealed, I will have to return to the battlefield in three or five days at most, and the chance of returning to the Honglie Empire is slim.
