When the four city gate guards heard Kou Meng's words, they naturally didn't hesitate and got out of the way.

Kou Meng ran to him, threw the red tassel gun to the guard, and raised his hand to make a salute:

"Xu Shaoxia, in Xia Koumeng, do you remember? Last year, I was fortunate enough to have a photo in Yufeng Mountain......"

Xu Buling naturally remembered that the reason why he let Kou Meng go at that time was because this man's filial piety moved the heavens and the earth, and he walked thousands of miles with his mother on his back in a basket to treat his illness, and he didn't even want his family life, and this filial piety alone was enough to make people unforgettable for life.

When he met Kou Meng at the foot of Yufeng Mountain, Kou Meng was covered in blood and couldn't see clearly, Xu Buling thought he was a man in his forties and fifties, but he was a little fat at this time, wearing border army standard armor, he looked like he was only in his early thirties, and his spirit was very good.

Song Yufu pointed out the way to Kou Meng back then, but Pingshui met and passed by by accidentally, so he must not have remembered, and at this time he looked at him suspiciously, and then looked away.

There were many people at the gate of the city, Xu Buling just raised his hand slightly, let a few girls walk in front, he and Kou Meng walked side by side, and asked:

"Is Ling Tang's illness better?"

Kou Meng's eyes were full of gratitude, with the unique heroism of a man in northern Xinjiang:

"Much better. After leaving Chang'an, I met Miss Xiao's frame on the road, and I gave a prescription and cured the disease. Alas! At that time, I was worried about my life, how could I repay the two people's affection, but now it's good, I was so happy to learn that Xu Gongzi and the Xiao family were married, didn't I join the army directly, and strive to go to Xu Gongzi to saddle before and after the horse ...... in the future."

Xu Buling hadn't heard Xiao Qi say this, but Xiao Qi probably wouldn't take this kind of small thing of doing good on the roadside to heart.

Hearing Kou Meng say that he was going to repay his kindness when he enlisted in the army, Xu Buling was a little helpless, shook his head and chuckled:

"You enlist in the army, you should go to Xiliang, enlist in Taiyuan, and be promoted to be a lieutenant of the court, and you are also a general of the imperial court, it's good not to come to beat me, what kind of favor?"

The joy on Kou Meng's face froze, and he was a little dazed: "Not all soldiers are the same, and there is this statement?" ”

Kou Mengnian was kicked out of the private school, and he was a son of the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't figure out that the system and division of power between the emperor and the vassal king were too normal.

They are all working for the country, and now they are not separated, Xu Buling naturally will not hit Kou Meng's heart to change his evil and return to righteousness, and said with a smile:

"It's not a big problem, when you accumulate some credit in the border army, I'll say hello to the Liaoxi Metropolitan Protectorate and ask you to come over." But you also know my identity, the general I opened my mouth, if I don't have two brushes, spread out to make jokes, this camp of the Xiliang Army is not so easy to enter. ”

When Kou Meng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he patted his chest busily:

"Xu Gongzi rest assured, I don't want to say anything else, everyone knows that I am bold and not afraid of death, even Chen Chong in Northern Xinjiang has thrown a few sticks, if I can't make a name for myself in the border army, I don't have the face to go to Xu Gongzi. I have only been in the army for less than three months, my equestrian skills are good, I was originally a scout of the border army, the first time I followed the captain out of the customs to explore the news, I met the scout of the squad of the Northern Qi Dynasty, I came back with five heads alone, the centurion was startled, and gave me the captain's hat on the spot, the original captain was the fourth ...... just now"

Xu Buling nodded and chuckled, he grew up in the border pass since he was a child, and he knew very well about this kind of activity of going out to 'hunt', Kou Meng also had the reputation of 'Lei Gong Stick', he was good at battlefield killing, and it was not uncommon to be able to pick five, and he was a captain of the army. He thought for a moment and looked at the surrounding street:

"Since you have just made a meritorious service, why was you transferred to Qingxu County to watch the gate? Qingxu County is a hundred miles away from Ningwu Pass, and military merits are not easy to earn. ”

When Kou Meng heard this, he sighed, raised his hand and waved: "I don't know, in order to get promoted quickly, I rush out of the customs every time." As a result, a few days ago, the above said that it was a turn, and asked me to bring my brothers to Qingxu County to defend the city, and the military order was like a mountain, and I didn't dare to complain, so I followed the centurion over. ”

Xu Buling nodded slowly, in order to maintain the combat strength of the border army, the front line and the rear line were rotated, and there was nothing wrong with it. He turned around and said, "Who is taking care of that Lingtang?" ”

Kou Meng smiled: "Miss Xiao's medicine is really effective, a few doses of medicine will be almost fine, my mother can move around now, knowing that I came to Qingxu County, she also ran over and rented a small yard in the city." If Gongzi Xu doesn't dislike ......"

As he spoke, Kou Meng looked at the group of girls in front of him, a little hesitant......

Zhu Manzhi has been eavesdropping, as the 'Fenhe Sword God' who grew up around Taiyuan, she naturally heard of the 'Lei Gong Stick', and she hurriedly turned around:

"How can Xu Gongzi dislike it, they are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and heroes don't ask about their origins."

"That's a good idea."

Kou Meng slapped his face, and hurriedly led the group into the side street, and said happily:

"For the Chinese New Year, my mother prepared a lot of dishes, and my mother's cooking skills are very good, but they are worse than the restaurants in the town."

Xu Buling thought about it, but he didn't refuse, and after a few words with Kou Meng, he came to an alley in the residential area of the county seat.

The alleys are full of local people, with couplets posted on the doors of every house, many children running back and forth in the alleys, and adults sitting at the door chattering.

Zhu Manzhi obviously didn't brag, she used to run around the streets in the county seat, catch thieves, find chickens and ducks, the county is not very big, and there are many people who know her.

At this time, Zhu Manzhi walked in front and kept greeting:

"Little Liuzi, they've grown so big...... Aunt Wu, why are you beautiful again, I don't even recognize you......"

The neighbors in the alley, seeing Da Manzhi, who was almost seventeen years old, were obviously a little surprised, and they were also responding enthusiastically:

"Oops~ Manzhi is back! He hasn't grown taller at all, and he's still as small as he used to be......"

"I heard that you went to Chang'an, did your father find it?"

"You're sixteen, are you married? The son in the back is your father-in-law? ”

……

Zhu Manzhi heard these warm greetings, his expression gradually became embarrassed, he glanced back at Xu Buling, and he didn't know how to answer, so he ran away with his head down.

"Yo~ I also learned to be shy, I used to be as wild as boys, and I really changed ...... eighteen years of female college"

"Yes, yes, the boys in the county have been beaten, but when they grow up, they are up......"

I wish Manzhi to run faster and faster.

Kou Meng saw this scene and said unexpectedly: "Young Master Xu, this girl, is she still a local?" ”

Xu Buling was a little amused: "Yes, Fenhe Sword God, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Zhu Manzhi stiffened his trotting movements, turned around and said in shame:

"Xu Gongzi~! You ......"

Qingye and Jiujiu both held back a smile and turned their heads to avoid getting angry.

Kou Meng was very eye-catching, and slapped his face and said seriously:

"Like thunder, I have admired the name for a long time, but I have never met ......"

Zhu Manzhi was stunned for a moment, and then his flushed face smiled, and he stood up a few straighter, just about to raise his hand to make a salute.

Kou Meng hadn't heard it at all, where did he dare to answer, and hurriedly raised his hand and pointed to the small courtyard next to him:

"It's time to get there, girls. Mother! ……”

"Huh!"

In the neat courtyard, the old woman was busy in the house, and she heard a sound and came out.

Xu Buling looked up, the wrinkles on the old woman's face were still there, but her gray hair was a lot darker, her eyes were also very clear, she could obviously see things clearly, and her complexion was very good.

Kou Meng stepped forward and hurriedly introduced: "Mother, this is the handsome descendant you have been talking about, the noble man we met in Chang'an." ”

The old woman was stunned, her eyes couldn't see anything when she was outside Chang'an City, but Xu Buling's memory of holding an umbrella and waiting for her son was still fresh. His face was full of joy at the moment, and he hurriedly raised his hand to greet:

"Oh, come on, come in, this is your guest...... Fierce son, go out and get some good wine......"

Xu Buling grew up in a princely house since he was a child, and this kind of human affection full of market atmosphere may have only been experienced in his previous life, and he was quite emotional. At the moment, he didn't put up any shelves, and took a few girls to the guest house to sit down, and chatted with the old woman about the gossip of the past year......
