In Luoyang, there is a large courtyard with a particularly prominent Guangdao Fang, which occupies almost a quarter of the Guangdao Fang.

As long as it is a Luoyang person, everyone knows that this is the home of Ximen Zhensen, the imperial envoy of the Duke of Chu, but in such a wealthy compound, there are very few people who can inherit the mantle of Ximen Zhensen.

It's not that the Simon family has few boys, but the requirements of the Simon family for the heir, the severity is chilling, and they have to undergo extremely harsh tests since they were young, and some people even fall ill in their hearts and would rather withdraw from the selection.

If you want to inherit the family business of such a gate valve, you must not only have a shrewd mind, but also have martial arts, at least run fast, and the leader of the gate valve must not die easily, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now in the Ximen family, the most promising to inherit the family business is the young master Ximen Lang, who is forty-seven years old, with a well-proportioned figure and extraordinary bearing, but his biological mother is a maid, which seriously affects his status in the family.

Of course, this was just the beginning, and all that had changed dramatically since the day he took control of the Tiger Ben's Fourth Army.

He has gathered a talent for the family, and this person is Xiao Han.

I don't know what means he used to bring a character like Xiao Han to his side, and call him a brother, it seems that there is no distinction between you and me. Later, he also worshiped Simon's family and became a righteous son of Simon Mamori.

The tide rises, and the two people help each other, and their position in the family is unbreakable.

This time Xiao Han openly disobeyed military discipline, whoever dared to touch Xiao Han's hair, Ximen Lang would be the first to jump out and fight with him.

Now that the national disaster is at hand, the four major families all feel a pressure, so they each manage their own dogs and don't go out to make trouble. All internal disputes must be discussed after the war is over. Otherwise, Hebei will be defeated, and everything will become empty talk.

"Father, there is good news on the battlefield, the whole army has been pressed a hundred miles to the north, and now Weizhou, Weizhou, Bozhou, Dezhou, and Dizhou are all in the hands of our army, and the enemy's spider web formation has also been broken, and the decisive battle will start next."

Ximen Lang came to see his father with a battle strategy.

Ximen Mamori sat in the chair expressionlessly, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone else to retreat, except for the eldest prince Ximen Kun to stay. The eldest prince was born with a leg disease and could not stand, so he sat in a wooden wheelchair.

"Judging by the number of casualties on both sides, it is not a victory." Ximen Zhensen hastily looked at the battle report: "And Xiangzhou has not been taken yet, so what's the point of advancing this hundred miles?" ”

"I heard that Huo Zizhen has a plan to give up Xiangzhou, isolate Xiangzhou, and the army will go straight in." Ximen Lang didn't want to discuss Huo Zizhen's affairs, he cared more about the latter sentence: "This time, it was our Huben Fourth Army Recruit Division that provided Huo Zizhen with the tactics of destroying the spider web." ”

"Oh, I know that."

"But you may not know that it is Han Dang who leads the team."

Ximen Masen looked up at Ximen Lang, and said with a wry smile: "This time you deliberately sent Xiao Han over, I kind of understand what you mean." You want to train Zhang Hanshan and Xiao Fei to become generals of Zhenguo through this training. And Han Dang and others, this is the person who replaces Zhang Hanshan and Xiao Fei, right? ”

Ximen Lang immediately bowed his head and said, "Oh, father, you have wronged your son." ”

Simon Mason waved his hand: "Even if it is, it is understandable. ”

Hearing this, Ximen Lang was overjoyed in his heart, and unconsciously glanced at the eldest prince Ximen Kun.

Ximen Kun is fifty years old, his temples are slightly pale, he has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and his body is weak, but he is a recognized genius of the Ximen family, he rarely goes out, but his control of the outside is no worse than Ximen Lang, and his judgment has always been appreciated by Simon Zhensen, there are many times, Simon Zhensen can't make up his mind, he is only willing to discuss with his eldest son, but no longer ask others.

However, the eldest son was born with a disability, and his inferiority complex made him unwilling to show his face, and he did not even marry his daughter-in-law, all of which made Simon Mainsen feel very tired.

And in the Simon family, the third generation makes Simon Mason even more disdainful, the Simon family, which was originally full of talents, why is the talent exhausted now, so he feels quite remorseful, and always feels that he did not do his best or the wrong method will lead to this result.

However, since Xiao Han appeared, the old man has regained his strength, as long as Xiao Han is treated well, then the Ximen family will have a pillar.

But the question is also here, what if Xiao Han has an antipathy?

For the Simon family, it was simply a catastrophe. But fortunately, the old man found that although Xiao Han is not strong in the concept of "loyalty", this person is very chivalrous, and the relationship with his second son Sima Lang can support a period of time, as long as Sima Lang controls the overall situation, Xiao Han at that time will become dispensable.

How many nails can you hit with iron?

"Ah Kun, what do you think of the person your second brother has chosen?" Simon Mamori asked lightly.

Ximenkun said without thinking: "I know what my father wants to hear, but I have to pour a basin of cold water. The second brother seems to be in a hurry to achieve quick success. ”

Ximen Lang immediately nodded and said, "What the eldest brother said is true." ”

Ximen Kun smiled bitterly: "Second brother, why are you so humble to me. I know why you're acting like this, you're completely showing it to your father, but the more you do this, the more your father doesn't feel at ease with you, and so do I. Although there is not much communication between our brothers, we all understand it in our hearts. Now there are six armies in the Tiger Army, I control three, you control one, the second uncle's family controls one, and the fifth uncle's family controls one. This battle of Hebei was supposed to let the fifth uncle go, but it turned out to be thought of first. You think that the fifth uncle will be very happy like this, but in fact? ”

Ximen Lang was silent.

Ximen Kun took a sip of tea, felt that it tasted bad, put down the teacup and said: "Your kindness, the fifth uncle doesn't appreciate it, and he will also complain that you delayed his performance." Over the years, he has been very strong, and his subordinates have also trained a general with more than seven grades, but as a result, the Southern Jin Dynasty is a minister, but he has no battle to fight. ”

Ximen Lang still didn't speak, but his face became a little embarrassed.

Simon Mason shook his head and said, "Forget it, there is no need to talk about these things anymore. Lao Wu is almost sixty years old, and he is still so competitive all day, he is always worried that if the position of patriarch is passed to you, his interests will be slashed, and in two days, I will give him a reassuring pill to eat. ”。

"What is my father going to do?"

"Straighten his unsuccessful son." Simon Mason patted the arm of the chair helplessly: "In fact, he did this, but he harmed his son and himself." Man, you must be self-aware, and you must learn to endure. Ability, that's what it means. ”
