Guizhou City

After Xu Cun led his brothers into Guo Yu's army, he was arranged by He Yin to be in the northern camp of Guizhou City, under the command of Liu Changmei, the marching army.

Xu Cun was appointed as the captain of Zhenwei, commanding the newly recruited 300 Qingzhou soldiers, while Meng Hu, Hu Si, and Zhang Cheng each led 100 soldiers as the lieutenant of the accompanying army, and the other brothers were also mostly team leaders, busy leading the team to train recruits every day. Although he is no longer at ease in the past, he is a serious business student after all, these brothers are fighting men, and now they are naturally very familiar with returning to their old business.

Only Lu Ben didn't want to be controlled, he didn't go to the barracks, he still went his own way, and he mixed up with Fan Jiutong and his gang, and was called by Xu Cun and scolded him a few times, but he couldn't resist Lu Ben's temperament, so he had to go.

Although Fan Jiutong broke off his good business of stealing and selling thieves because of his brothers' enlistment in the army, he was able to fight in Guizhou City for a long time, the land was ripe, and the family money earned a few months ago was re-picked up, and he picked up his best tricks again, and attracted idlers to bully and dominate the market.

Old Fan Dongshan made a comeback, and the life of these poor buddies also became more relaxed, and the wine banquet was naturally indispensable every once in a while, since there was a rich relative around him, he was willing to nest in the barracks all day long and eat chaff vegetables! Besides, all the brothers are used to eating Fan Jiutong's white food, and they no longer bother when they join the army, and they always feel that they are not very beautiful in their hearts!

On this day, in the upper room on the second floor of Taibai Liquor Shop, Xu Cun, dressed in military uniform, took Meng Huhu and Hu Sizhang into a group of brothers to find Lu Ben and Lao Fan, who had not been seen for a few days, to eat and drink. Usually waiting for wine and other dishes to be free, as usual, is the moment when Xu Cun nagged and admonished Lu Ben, after all, mortals only have one mouth, and reprimanding and eating and drinking can only be carried out in order according to the rules, for these two things, Xu Cun has always been happy to do this.

After three rounds of drinking, I finally saw Xu put down the chopsticks in his hand and had a chance to speak. Fan Jiutong hurriedly got up, with a somewhat strange expression; "Master Xu, someone wants to meet you." Fan Jiutong asked tentatively;

"But your brother-in-law Zhao Wu?" Xu Cun asked with a smile; It turned out that he had already seen that Fan Jiutong's expression was different today, and at this time, he heard him say this, and he had already guessed a few clues in his heart.

"Exactly, exactly......" Fan Jiutong nodded again and again, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

On that day, Xu Cun persuaded each other Qingfeng Ridge, but the righteous brother was always hesitant, and then what happened was as Xu Cun expected, and now Zhao Wu was desperate, he lost his face and came to Guizhou, Lao Fan was afraid that Xu Cun would still be jealous in his heart.

Although Lao Fan has also dealt with these people for nearly half a year, they have long been indistinguishable from each other, especially for Xu Cun's character, he is even more sincerely respectful. Fan Jiutong, who has been in the mess for half his life, is used to seeing the drama of human nature seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and now he is still a little nervous about telling Xu Cun about his rebel brother.

At that time, the righteous brother Zhao Wuren was strong and strong, and Xu Cun naturally had the intention to recruit him. And now that time has passed, and his brother has been terrified like a lost dog, I don't know how Xu Cun will treat him!

"My own brother, please come!" Xu Cun smiled but said in a calm tone; There is neither a warm face full of pretended greeting, nor a cold ridicule and disdain, but a plain one, like a casual invitation between old friends who have not been separated for a long time, this kind of true and sincere attitude suddenly made Fan Jiutong's heart warm, and immediately put down the barriers in his heart, and hurriedly ran downstairs to get people.

A man was led into the room by Fan Jiutong, with a purple face and a beard, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhao Wu? Zhao Wu entered the door without saying a word and bowed down, but the man who was still fierce a few months ago looked aggrieved at this time, and his body was much thinner. Xu Cun couldn't help but feel sour when he saw it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, pulled him to his side and sat down.

After Xu Cun said goodbye that day, Zhao Wu arranged for his eyes to keep an eye on the officers and soldiers. Sure enough, they didn't make any moves, just crossed the valley and went around to the back mountain to camp and garrison, and after more than a month, the army began to arrive in front of the mountain one after another.

It turned out that Zhao Deyu saw that the imperial court soldiers were strong and strong, and the breakthrough of Caizhou City was just around the corner, so he no longer wavered, and devoted himself to flattering Zhu Wen, and sent another general Chang Hou to lead the soldiers of Jun and Fang Erzhou to encircle and suppress Qingfeng Village. Zhao Wu was surrounded by the large army at this time, and he was in a dilemma, and he couldn't regret it!

It was also Zhao Wu's extraordinary bravery, relying on the high mountains and dense forests of Qingfeng Ridge, and fighting with the officers and soldiers of the brigade for several months before he finally got out of trouble. It's just that hundreds of his brothers have been killed or captured, and they are almost completely lost, and only a few people are still with them. On the boundary of Shannan East Road, there is no place for Zhao Wu to stand on the cone, and in desperation, he had to run to return to the state and take refuge in his righteous brother Fan Jiutong temporarily.

When Xu Cun learned what happened to Zhao Wu, he was not half contemptuous and rude, nor did he have the slightest superficial virtue of being able to do so, but got up and gave a deep salute and said: "It was Xu Cun who acted recklessly that day, and he caused Brother Zhao to burn the mountain, and I hope that Brother Zhao will forgive his sins!" Zhao Wu's face was full of shame when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand to support Xu Cun: "Brother Xu, don't be like this, Zhao Wu didn't know the time that day, and he was ashamed of Brother Xu's kindness, so he had today's disaster." ”……

After a few words, they each untied their hearts, and they were all rough men who no longer behaved, Fan Jiutong ordered people to rearrange the wine and food, and called Hou San and a few brothers who followed Zhao Wu to re-enter the table in turn.

Xu Cun was afraid that Zhao Wu would be embarrassed, so he didn't ask them about their future plans during the banquet, and the other brothers also knew Xu Cun's temperament, and they didn't dare to say much, but they kept drinking and drinking, and after a while, a group of people hooked their shoulders and drank and drank.

……

As soon as Xu Cunfu approached the grassland, he heard the sound of "...... and ".

Keju, Xu Cun also played a lot when he was a child and was good at it. Find a cow urine bubble full of gas, and then use eight pieces of pointed leather to sew into a shell to make a juju ball, several people play in a circle, or to play higher than who kicks high to race the foot, or set up a dragon gate more than three feet high, than who is juju through the game accurately.

The last time Xu Cun suffered a dark loss in the grass house, when the "woman in red" bowed, her foot strength was so strong, and she had never seen it in her life. Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, with the lesson of the last time, Xu Cun no longer dared to stand with his hands high, but slowly approached the grass house like walking on thin ice.

Xu Cun came to visit He Yin this time for Zhao Wu's business. He intended to include Zhao Wu in his army, and he came to ask Mr. He for permission. Now in his own army, although Meng Hu Hu and Hu Si Zhang Cheng are brave, they are not leading the army, and Lu Ben is not in the army, Xu Cun wants to promote Zhao Wu to the position of deputy lieutenant Zhenwei who is temporarily vacant in the headquarters, so as to arrange a way out for him.

……

Seeing Xu Cun from a distance, who was probing his brain and acting very obscenely, an unusually capable young man quickly greeted him, and after saluting elegantly, he reported to his home, which turned out to be He Yin's personal servant He Lin.

The domestic servant He Linsheng's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, his gestures are capable, and his speech is gentle and elegant, just a few casual words make Xu Cun feel good, and he secretly praises him as Mr. He Yin's doorman.

He Lin led Xu Cun with a gentle expression, and walked into the grass house to come to He Yin.

After a few words of greeting between the guests and the host, Xu Cun explained his intentions, and He Yin thought about it for a while, and then agreed. It is not only a strong general who is happy to add to the army, but also trusts Xu Cun's ability to recognize people.

After talking about Zhao Wu's matter, He Yin stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Captain Xu, how is the chaos in Jiangling, have you ever thought about it?" ”

It seems to be a casual question, but it is meaningful!

Ten years ago, Zhang Gui killed the lord and occupied Jiangling, claiming to be the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu. Qin Zongquan has always coveted the wealth of Jingnan, so he sent his brother Qin Zongyan to attack, Zhang Gui held on for two years, the dead in the city one after another, so that people cannibalism, but Qin Zongyan finally failed to conquer, and was beheaded by his brother after retreating to Caizhou.

Three years later, Qin Zongquan ordered Zhao Deju, the queen of Shannan Dongdao, to besiege Jiangling twice, and the soldiers in the city were finally exhausted, and the punishment of heaven was retribution. After Zhao Delu broke the city, he plundered all the property in the city and left, leaving the general Wang Jianzhao to defend the city.

In other words, Wang Jianzhao, who now occupies Jiangling Mansion, is still from the Caizhou Army. He Yin asked about the chaos in Jiangling today, there is no doubt that he still has scruples about the background of his old Qin Zongquan, so he intends to try it with this remark, can Xu Cunyan not understand?

Xu Cun got up and bowed down and said loudly: "Mr. He Yin probably doesn't know, the Qin thief is cruel and cunning, and has a thirst for killing, and all the brothers of Xu Mou were deeply affected by it before they repented and risked death to get out of the thief department. "The people of Jiangling were deeply harmed by the Qin thieves, and it is good to recover it as soon as possible, Xu Cun will bravely kill the enemy with all his heart, and he has repaid the kindness of Guo Zhijun and Mr. He!"

He Yin saw that Xu Cun's expression was sincere and his words were sonorous, and he also knew that he was wrong to blame him for what he suspected, so he hurriedly got up and helped Xu Cun to say good words of relief.

……

Zhao Wu's affairs went smoothly, and he untied the knot with He Yin, Xu Cun's mood was extremely happy! Picked up the tea soup offered by He Lin and sipped it slowly, chatting with Mr. He Yin from all over the world.

Maybe it's because the passing years are not good! Or maybe Xu Cun looks too much like the dragon gate that is looking for a fight! I just relaxed, but I didn't know that disaster fell from the sky again!

Suddenly, I saw a juju ball, and suddenly rushed in, and it flew in, and the shooting star chased the moon and fell directly into the tea bowl in Xu Cun's hand, and suddenly, the tea soup spilled all over!

Xu Cun, who encountered another flying disaster, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and sighed secretly in his heart: Isn't it the juju ball at the feet of the "heroine", so she has been aiming at herself? After thousands of dodges, he still didn't escape this catastrophe!

When He Yin saw this change, he was also shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire; The "Woman in Red" also followed the sound, seeing that she had made another trouble, but the bitter master was still the last time Captain Xu, her cheeks were crimson, and her beautiful eyes were almost ready to burst into tears, and she apologized again and again while helping Xu Cun clean up her clothes.

After everything was settled, He Yin ordered someone to bring the fragrant tea again, and then called the "woman" to introduce Xu Cun to the frightened Xu Cun.

It turned out that this woman's name was Chen Lingwan, and she was the only daughter of Chen Ru, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, who was killed. Due to Zhang Gui's rebellion, Guo Yu was forced to leave Jiangling, fearing that the thief would harm him, so he brought the women and children of the Chen family to Guizhou. When Lingwan was less than three years old, Mrs. Chen became ill and died, and the girl was taken by Guo Yu to raise her, and she has always regarded her as her own.

Lingwan has been spoiled by Guo Yu since she was a child, so much so that no one dared to give her a little color in the huge Guizhou City. This girl is born not to like women, only like a boy loves to juju, He Yin Caolu is located at the foot of the mountain, the space is vast and convenient to play, she often lives in the grass.

After He Yin's introduction, Xu Cun got up and greeted Lingwan again, thinking that she had lost her relatives and been lonely since she was a child, and she also felt pity, and she had long forgotten the unwarranted disaster of being attacked twice......
