The book is picked up again.

However, after the old general Huangfu heard that the selection was completed, he hurriedly came to ask Li Zhi.

And Li Zhi saw that he was anxious, so he immediately replied: "Old General Qiqi, the little nephew has already selected more than 10,000 elites, and then selected 5,000 people from your and my army, a total of 20,000 people, which is enough to rescue Lu Gong."

Moreover, the little nephew has ordered Gongming's virtuous brother to return home, and then send the 10,000 horses that were practicing at home, so that the soldiers under my command will be enough to fight against Zhang Jiao. ”

"Good, good!" After hearing this, the old general Huangfu applauded repeatedly, looked at Li Zhi with a relieved face, stroked Xu Wenyan and said: "There is a virtuous nephew, after the old man returns to Beijing this time, he will definitely show his merit to His Majesty's virtuous nephew!" ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "The little nephew is just worried about Lu Gong's comfort, as for the merit...... Don't say it! ”

The old general Huangfu was very satisfied with Li Zhi's modest performance.

Then, he looked at the yellow scarves and asked, "These people who are still standing are the soldiers selected by the virtuous nephew?" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he shook his head, pointed to those people lying on the ground with blue noses and swollen faces, and said, "These people who fell to the ground are the soldiers selected by the little nephew. ”

Hearing Li Zhi say that the person lying on the ground was the one who was selected, the old general Huangfu frowned, looked at those people, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't the virtuous nephew say something wrong?" How can these fallen people be considered elite? ”

Li Zhi saw that the old general Huangfu was shocked, and shook his head with a wry smile, he knew that his method of selecting troops would inevitably attract the confusion of others.

However, Li Zhi did not change his mind, and nodded firmly: "The little nephew is not wrong, it is this group of people!" ”

When the old general Huangfu saw him nodding, he was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Why can these people who are lying on the ground be selected when they are knocked down?" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he opened the folding fan with a bang, shook it twice, and then said abruptly: "Although this group of people was knocked down by others, it was not that their courage was too weak, but that they were unwilling to wave to their comrades. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed and continued: "The little nephew is not afraid that the ability of the soldiers under his command is insufficient, but he is afraid that their temperament is too poor.

Lack of ability can be compensated for by other methods, however, the poor temperament is too poor, but there is no way to make up for it.

The little nephew chose a loyal and righteous teacher for the country and the people, but he didn't want a group of bandits under his command! ”

As soon as Li Zhi's voice fell, the old general Huangfu sighed and said with emotion: "What the virtuous nephew said is reasonable, but now no one in the army of the Han Dynasty can do it, and they are all the bandit troops that the virtuous nephew said!" ”

Speaking of this, the old general Huangfu closed his eyes, sighed with some hatred, and stopped speaking.

Li Zhi saw that he was so decadent, so he comforted: "The old general doesn't have to be like this.

After the Yellow Turban incident, the old general will inevitably be rewarded when he returns to the court.

At that time, the veteran general will train those military personnel well. ”

"Alas!" Hearing Li Zhi's words of comfort, the old general Huangfu sighed and said helplessly: "It can only be like this!" ”

At this time, Xu Huang had already returned to Erxianzhuang, and saw a convoy outside the city gate of Erxianzhuang, waving dragon flags, like people in the palace.

Seeing this, Xu Huang asked the soldiers guarding the city, "Who is this?" What's going on here? ”

The soldier who was guarding the city saw that it was Xu Huang, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he bowed and said: "General Qiyu, these people claim to be people in the palace and come to summon them." ”

"Edict?" Xu Huang was even more puzzled and asked, "Isn't Brother Xingzhi in Wancheng at this time?" To whom do these people proclaim the edict? ”

The guard replied, "I heard that it was an edict for the master's mother. ”

"Ma'am?" Xu Huang was stunned when he heard this, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he stopped talking to the city guard, and hurriedly ran towards the city lord's mansion.

After Xu Huang came to Li Zhi's mansion, he saw a group of palace people announcing an edict to Xun Yuan, so he hurriedly walked over.

At this time, the chamberlain who announced the edict had already finished reading the edict, and Xun Yuan was about to take the edict with both hands.

At this moment, in the crowd of edicts, an ugly man came out of the crowd, looked at Xun Yuan with squinting eyes and said, "I'm waiting to come to pass the edict, isn't it good for Mrs. to entertain us?" ”

When Xun Yuan heard this, she glanced at him with disgust, and said politely: "The humble husband is fighting for the Han Dynasty at this time, and the family is full of women and children, and there are no people who have nothing to do, so it is inconvenient to welcome you into the house, and I have neglected you, please forgive me." ”

After hearing this, the ugly man became even more presumptuous, with an expression of lust and soul, and said lightly: "Isn't it just right that your husband is not there?"

As long as Madame treats me well, when I go back, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for the credit of your husband! ”

"Humph!" Seeing that his language was frivolous, Xun Yuan snorted coldly, and scolded with an unhappy face: "Presumptuous! This is the mansion of the ancient townsmen of the Han Dynasty, and Mrs. Ben is also the county monarch, so you can put Your Majesty in your eyes? ! ”

"Alas~ This is a mistake!" The ugly man said unrelentingly: "I am waiting to announce the edict, what I represent is Your Majesty, is it the way of the minister to turn me away from the door?"

Madame, don't excuse yourself, take me in, and arrange some wine and singers to entertain me and others.

I heard that there is a lot of wine in the ancient hometown, but today I want to feast on it, as for the singer......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xun Yuan with a smile: "This singer and Mrs. are as coquettish." ”

After speaking, the ugly man stretched out his right hand and was about to touch Xun Yuan's face.

Xu Huang, who was behind the crowd, saw that the man was so rude, he was furious, and was about to step forward to stop him, but he heard a child's voice coming: "Presumptuous! Who dares to insult the mother! ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a childish boy walking out of the mansion, about three or four years old, with a round face and red eyes, although he looked angry, but he looked cute.

After the childish boy walked in front of the ugly man, he pointed to his nose and scolded: "You look so ugly, you dare to come out and be embarrassed, and you dare to bully your mother, aren't you afraid that my father will kill your head when he comes back?!" ”

The ugly man was exposed to his shortcomings, and said angrily: "Whose dead child is this?!" It's really rude! Let me educate you well for your father! ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped the child's face.

"Stop!"

"Bold!"

Just as he was moving, he only heard two scolding sounds, but it was Xun Yuan and Xu Huang who shouted when they saw that he was going to beat the child.

But the big man turned a deaf ear and continued to fight the child.

But the boy was very nimble, and when he saw the big man coming, he dodged the big man's slap as soon as he hid himself.

Then, he ran to the big man, stared at the big man in front of him with a pair of big black eyes, puffed out his small mouth, raised his right foot, and kicked him between his legs......

The big man was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted, and looked at the young boy who was kicking his crotch in a daze.

"Ah......h

Then, the big man fell to the ground with his hands on his crotch, rolling in pain and screaming loudly.

“……！” Xu Huang, who was running towards this, blinked his eyes when he saw this scene, and was dumbfounded, but he was stunned by the child's performance.

At this time, Xun Yuan walked forward quickly, hugged the child, looked up and down, and asked urgently, "Where did Zheng'er get hurt?" Does the foot hurt? ”

This child was Li Zheng, and when he heard that someone was coming, he was a little curious, so he secretly looked outside the door.

After seeing that his mother was bullied by that person, he ran out to be angry with his mother.

At this time, Li Zhengzheng looked at the screaming man with disdainful eyes, and after hearing his mother's anxious inquiry, he patted his little chest and said quite heroically: "Don't worry, mother, how can a mere scum hurt a child?!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" Xun Yuan saw that Li Zheng was really fine, so she was relieved, hugged him tightly, and didn't dare to let go again.

Immediately, Xun Yuan thought that her husband was born and died for the Han, and now her life and death are unknown, and her group of old and weak women and children are being bullied by others.

Li Zheng saw his mother crying, raised his little hand, wiped the tears on her face, and said loudly: "Don't cry, mother, although my father is not at home, Zheng'er has grown up and can protect my mother!" ”

Xun Yuan heard her young son's comforting voice, not only did she not stop crying, but her tears became more urgent, and she cried loudly.

I saw her crying and said: "My husband is dying for the birth of a big man, but I don't want to, but my wife is being bullied by others."

That's how Your Majesty treats meritorious officials?! Someone ...... coming."
