On the official road of Hedong Weisheng Army and Xitang Town, a large group of knights rode forward slowly, bringing up bursts of smoke and dust. The knights on the horse are all fierce dragons and tigers, the first knight, the colorful flag behind the wind is waving in the wind, and the three words "Loyal and Righteous Army" are impressive.

Behind the knights, more than a dozen grain carts were pulled by horses, followed by foot soldiers, and slowly moved forward.

Two or three miles away from the front of the grain truck, in the dense woods on both sides of the official road, countless unkempt and ragged bandits lay in the jungle, all armed with knives, guns, sticks, and some even opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the convoy slowly approaching in the distance.

"Big brother, looking at the situation today, you should be able to get something, just their war horses, I'm afraid they will be worth a lot of silver!"

The minions were envious, and the eldest brother also had bright eyes and nodded yes.

"There are so many horses of the straight lady thief, but today is a profit. Get ready, brothers, and act by watching my gestures in a moment! These people are fierce and fierce, and they don't look like ordinary people, so let the brothers be cautious!"

The knights got closer and closer, and the minions listened carefully, and said suspiciously: "Big brother, listen, these people seem to be shouting something."

The eldest brother pricked up his ears and listened intently.

"Heroes from all walks of life, this is the pension of the soldiers who died in the battle of the loyal and righteous army, and no one can snatch it. Otherwise, it will be an enemy of the loyal army!"

When the knights got closer, the shouts could be heard clearly, and then saw their banner with the words "Loyal and Righteous Army", the eldest brother shook his head in frustration.

"Straight sissy thief! Let the brothers put down the weapons in their hands, today's trip can be regarded as a straight thief's run in vain!"

The little minion was puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Big brother, why didn't you do such a good deal, why is this?"

The eldest brother glared at a pair of bull's eyes, and said angrily: "Open your dog's eyes and see, see clearly, this is the pension of the fallen soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army." Who dares to move, that is not to live! ”

An older bandit in ragged clothes next to him also nodded and said, "Big brother is right. The Loyal and Righteous Army fought a battle with Fanzi in Fuzhou last winter, and only a few hundred of the 20,000 people remained, and I heard that even the prince was killed in the battle. Think about it, who dares to move the silver two of these pensions, otherwise don't mix in this rivers and lakes!"

The minion woke up like a dream, and said with a smile on his face: "No wonder." The loyal and righteous soldiers are all heroes and heroes, and this silver tael and grain should not be robbed. If we do this, the heroes on the rivers and lakes will look down on us. ”

The knights' horses slowly ran over. As they passed through the woods where everyone was ambushed, the speed of the knights slowed down significantly.

The eldest brother stood up, stood on a high slope, and saluted the passing knights, shouting loudly.

"Brother of the Loyal Army, please rest assured that you will not be disturbed in the inferior!"

The knight on the horse nodded and said loudly, "Thank you, brothers, for your forgiveness!" If you have any difficulties, go east along the Zhanghe River, and when you arrive in Licheng County, you will be greeted by brothers from the loyal and righteous army. ”

Watching the knights go away and the grain carts pass by one by one, the eldest brother shook his head and sighed:

"Look at the momentum of others, this is a strong soldier, no wonder the fan who can be killed is falling into the water! Look at us again, people are more angry than people! ”

The minion shook his head and said, "Big brother, people are loyal and righteous soldiers, and we are not bullshit." Let's go to the Zhanghe River and solve the belly trouble first. ”

The eldest brother nodded and said, "That's what I said!" The third child and I went over and borrowed some grain and silver taels from the Loyal and Righteous Army, and there must always be some gains. ”

Xitang Town, the prosperity of the past has fallen. The streets are deserted, and the sparse and depressed people are not as good as the flowers. Ruined walls, overgrown with weeds, corners and hidden places, human and animal feces can be seen everywhere. Even if it is a warm spring, it can't hide its dilapidated atmosphere.

Suddenly, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves shattered the lifeless silence, and the yellow dog barked wildly and fled, following the smoke and dust, and countless knights appeared in view.

In the streets, the people immediately fled in all directions, and soon the streets were empty, in disarray, and fell silent.

In these years, soldiers are more ruthless than thieves. The thieves are coming, and the people still have a living head, if the soldiers come, not to mention the women's suffering, sometimes they will slaughter the village and break the town, and the old and the young, the sick and the weak will not stay.

The sound of horses' hooves entered the town, but there was no sound of breaking houses. The people stayed at home, listened carefully, and some grabbed the firewood knives and kitchen knives in their hands, ready to fight at any time.

"Mother, you and your second brother are hidden, I'm going to kill these dogs in a while, and avenge my father!"

In a house next to the street, twelve-year-old Xu Daniu was hiding in the corner, holding a spear in his hand and looking stubborn.

"Big Bull!"

Sister-in-law Xu's face turned pale, grabbed her son's hand, tears were full of tears, and she choked up: "How old are you, hurry up and bring your mother back!"

Xu Daniu's face was unwilling, he clenched his spear, and said loudly: "Mother, I'm twelve years old!" When my dad was my age, he was already out and about. These fan, let them find out, it's a death, it's better to fight with them!"

The mother and son were arguing, but there was a knock on the door outside, followed by the loud voice of the chief Xu Zhicheng: "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, open the door, someone from the loyal and righteous army has come up, and we will send us a pension silver tael."

Aunt Zhang, a neighbor, also knocked on the door loudly and shouted excitedly: "Lady of the Xu family, open the door quickly, all the sons and daughters of our Xitang Town have bereavement benefits, 50 yuan and 20 stone of grain for each person."

The door opened with a "bang", Xu Daniu stood behind his mother, and saw several majestic sergeants standing outside the door, with iron armor and tall horses snorting beside him, surrounded by neighbors and people in the town.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Big brother, please come to the courtyard and talk. ”

Sister-in-law Xu hurriedly let the sergeants into the courtyard, the leading officer waved his hand, and a team of soldiers walked in carrying food bags. The leading sergeant took a bag of money and handed it to Sister-in-law Xu.

"Sister-in-law of the Xu family, this is General Xu Hu's pension, 50 yuan, please take it. Wang Xianggong said that it is difficult in the army now, and when there is more in the future, he will make up for the other part. Please write us a note as proof. ”

Sister-in-law Xu's hand to take the money stopped in the air, and she said in surprise: "This big brother, what are you talking about, Wang Xianggong is not dead?"

Li Zheng next to him smiled and said: "Lady of the Xu family, how can Wang Xianggong die, that is all rumors." Wang Xianggong is now recruiting troops in Hebei and preparing to fight the gold thief. If the thief is not extinguished, how can his old man leave first!"

The sergeant nodded, "What Li Zheng said is very true. Wang Xianggong was seriously injured and had just recovered, so the pension was sent slowly. The 42 families in Xitang Town all have brothers who died in the battle of our loyal and righteous army, and they are worthy of being loyal and righteous townships. Wang Xianggong instructed that if the children in the family want to go to school, they can be sent to Hebei. If there are old and weak, they can also go together, and the loyal and righteous army will take care of them. ”

Aunt Zhang, who was on the side, burst into tears, clasped her hands together, chanted words in her mouth, and murmured: "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless!" Bless Wang Xianggong for immortality, long live the millennium!"

Before Sister-in-law Xu could speak, Xu Daniu was already shouting from behind: "Mother, I am also going to Hebei, to join the Loyal and Righteous Army, kill the gold thief, and avenge my father!"

The officer smiled: "It is worthy of being the son of General Xu, and when he grows up, he is a hero again!"

Xu Daniu's face turned red and he couldn't help but puff up his chest.

"This brother is inseparable from his homeland, especially us old people. Please go back and tell Wang Xianggong, thank you for waiting!"

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "The children are willing to go for themselves." Mrs. Xu, you have no worries at home, just take the children to Hebei. ”

The soldiers quickly finished moving the food, and Sister-in-law Xu went in and poured tea and came out, and suddenly a neighbor shouted outside the door: "Aunt Zhang, your second brother carried a burden, took a short knife, and went east." Hearing him say that he was going to find the Loyal Army to avenge his brother. Why don't you go check it out?"

"Oops, this stinky boy!"

Aunt Zhang rushed out of the door, and the man's shout continued to sound.

"Lizheng, why are you still staying here! Leave together, and your family's San Lang!"

The smile on Rizheng's face also came to an abrupt halt, and disappeared in an instant with agility and astonishing flickering that did not match his age.

Sister-in-law Xu and the sergeants all looked at each other, speechless for a while.

After a while, Sister-in-law Xu woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said: "Brothers, then I'll go back and clean up, and let's go to Hebei together." ”

Xu Daniu was elated, and Xu Erniu on the side shouted loudly.

"Mother, big brother, we're going to Hebei!"

The son went to pack his things, and Sister-in-law Xu returned to the room, sitting alone, her expression gloomy, and finally burst into tears.

"Xianggong, if you leave like this, what should I do with my two children!"

Xu Daniu and her younger brother came in and were stunned when they saw their mother crying and crying.

"Mother, don't worry, Xianggong Wang will definitely take care of us! I'll take care of you too!"

"Mother, I will take care of you too!"

The youngest son, Xu Erniu, also said on the side.

Sister-in-law Xu couldn't hold back any longer, hugged her two sons, and cried loudly.

In the garden, Wang Song looked at the children in front of him, with mixed feelings.

"Xu Daniu, yes, just like your father! In the future, you must study hard, practice hard, and be a big hero like your father in the future!"

Xu Daniu's face was red, he nodded, and forgot how to answer.

"You are Dong Ping's son, so strong?"

Seeing the tall and strong young man in front of him, with the same figure as the NBA "James" in later generations, Wang Song's eyes couldn't help but be hot, this face plate looks too similar!

At the same time, he also secretly doubted in his heart what this child ate to grow up!

"Xianggong, this is the son of Dong Ping's brother, Dong Zhong, who is twelve years old. His mother was bedridden all the year round, so I brought him over. This kid is unruly, as powerful as an ox, and he is a good material for being a soldier, but he is too wild!"

Deng Shixiong smiled on the side, and the dark color was quite pleased.

Wang Song nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately ask Doctor Xie to come over, give the Dong family's sister-in-law a good look, and then take her to Hebei, this matter will be handled quickly."

Deng Shixiong hurriedly agreed, and whispered to the guards beside him.

Dong Zhong, who was on the side, was quite dissatisfied when he heard Deng Shixiong say that he was "unruly". However, in front of Wang Song, he was embarrassed and didn't dare to come out. The people in front of him are so high that he can't even see the mountainside.

"Unruly? The boy of the country, this is how it should be!"

Wang Song smiled slightly: "Dong Zhong, what do you want to do in the future?"

Hearing Wang Song's question, Dong Zhong quickly stood up straight and said loudly: "Xianggong, I don't like to read. I want to be like Xianggong and my father, crisscross the battlefield, go into battle to kill the enemy, expand the territory, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, capture the Fanzi Emperor alive, and avenge my father!"

Wang Song nodded and said in a deep voice: "Good, good, good!" But you still have to study well. There are many truths that can only be understood after reading books.

He muttered, "Dong ...... Zhong, your name is not loud enough, how about I change one for you?"

Dong Zhong said happily: "Xianggong becomes a poem in seven steps, and the hero is the world, and the name must not be bad!" Tell me, what's the new name?"

Wang Song Zhengse said: "Towering China, splendid rivers and mountains, young China, and the sky is not old." I hope that one day you will be able to cross the world, look at the wilderness, and be a real hero. Your name is Dong Zhonghua!"

Dong Zhong said excitedly: "Thank you Xianggong, I will be Dong Zhonghua in the future!"
