Text Chapter 3 Taigong Xu Kang
Seeing Xu Le come in, the old man closed his eyes again.
The little child guarding the medicine stove stood up and greeted: "Le Langjun! ”
This child is Han Yue's younger brother, and Han's husband died early, pulling the two children to grow up. Xu Le waved his hand: "Little Liu, look for your brother, there is me here." ”
Han Xiaoliu almost cheered, rushed towards the door with three steps and two steps, and only then turned around at the door and asked, "Will Le Langjun take me this time?" ”
Xu Le snorted: "How many years older are you!" ”
Han Xiaoliu's boss was not happy: "I'm not bad like my brother, I can open eight buckets of bows immediately, and I can shoot five stones with one stone when I step down!" Whether it's a sword and shield or a long soldier, Le Langjun, you can test my skills! ”
The old lady closed her eyes and said coldly: "You are still far away!" ”
Han Xiaoliu dared to play tricks with Xu Le, but the old lady spoke openly like a mouse seeing a cat, and she didn't dare to make a sound, stretched out her tongue at Xu Le and turned around and went out.
The old lady still closed her eyes: "I shouldn't teach you skills, you just can't stay in the Lu one by one." If the old man hadn't fallen, wouldn't you have come back? ”
Xu dared to speak, but he was already a little vague, and the words were missing, which was the sequelae after the stroke. But the tone remained imposing. Especially when I open my eyes, I am still majestic and prismatic, where does I look like an old man in an ordinary village?
Since last year, there have been a series of battles in Mayi County, either to rescue Yanmen, or to join forces with the Hedong Army to resist the Turkic south. Xu dared to manage everything for him, the Xu family that he established single-handedly, after all, he was old and suddenly suffered a stroke and fell.
Thinking of seeing his grandfather suddenly fall down at that time, Xu Le had palpitations.
For Xu Le, his grandfather is the giant tree behind him. Raised himself since childhood, from literature to martial arts. I don't want to let myself get involved with all the dangerous things.
What do you want to help, grandpa always says that he is still young, and after he gets married, it is not too late to take care of the housework when his eyes are closed.
Even if he was rebellious in his years, he was messing with Hedong Xia Shao, and finally broke into the name of Le Langjun. Didn't you rely on the belongings earned by your grandfather to make friends, and the skills taught by your grandfather convinced everyone?
Xu Le can't be said to be a well-behaved child, maybe it is inherited from the blood of the Xu family, and his sharp temperament is natural. I have had my own opinions about what to do since I was a teenager, and I feel helpless about my grandfather detaining himself in the small world of Shenwu County. I also feel a little overwhelmed by my grandfather's meticulous care.
But when grandpa fell, Xu Le felt that grandpa had tried his best to support a safe world for himself in the past eighteen years.
The outside world, waiting for idle ears. There is a time to see that the most important thing now is to take care of your grandfather and support the family through these troubled times!
At this time last year, Xu Le and a group of young men were still thinking about how to bypass his grandfather's control, find a place to join the army, and then make a career in this world. Isn't Liu Wuzhou also a young man in the countryside, who joined the Goryeo army, and finally came back to be the eagle general of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, opened the mansion and built a festival, and lived in eight seats?
But when grandpa fell, for nearly half a year, Xu Le never came out of Xu's house. Just helping with the family. The chivalrous young man is flying and domineering, and the spirit of fighting for heroes and fighting is almost completely eliminated, and many friends have also broken off contact.
The old man counted himself, Xu Le didn't hear it, walked to the porch and took down the medicine jar, poured it into the bowl, put it aside and waited for it to cool a little, and then smiled at Xu Dang: "I haven't been honest for most of the year?" It's heartbreaking for this family. ”
Xu Dang snorted: "Do you know that the family is difficult? Before, the hands and feet were so big, and it wasn't the old man who supported him! ”
After a sentence of anger, Xu Dang lowered his voice again: "I really can't go on?" ”
Xu Le shook his head: "I can't go on, my family is clean, and most of the people in the county are middle-aged households, and our Xu family is even more up-to-the-top." Someone was found to deliver the message to the master bookkeeper, and the master book said that no one could violate the order of Tai Shou now. Luzhong has exempted a total of 30 guan wen this year, and the shop households in the county have ended, and only 12 or 3 guan wen will be recovered, and the village can still make up five or six guan wen. If you can't hand it in, you have to serve in the army, and the county master also passed a sentence, saying that I have heard my name, and it is only right to join the army as soon as possible at this time. ”
Xu Dare was silent, and suddenly spoke again: "The great cause of the Son of Heaven went south, and they all had different thoughts. Wang Rengong doesn't want to get a piece of the pie in this mess! These families don't have a good thing! ”
Xu Le spread his hands: "Now there is only this way to return to Yi, buy the horses of the Dadan tribe in the north, and all the money from the end of the store will be exchanged for the salt of the grain reconciliation pool, and the horses will be transported to Shanyang for delivery at that time." ”
Xu dared to be silent, in the years of Chengping, this road back to Yi is a lot of hardships, when the Xu family Lu was first established, the old man walked through this business road, although the profits were very large, but several life and death were tied to the first line. Not to mention that now the Turkic army has been forced to the north of Mayi, repeatedly harassed south, broke through Yanmen, and fought with the Mayi soldiers and Hedong soldiers!
Xu Le smiled: "Then I'm going to join the Ma Yi Eagle Army?" Grandpa, you only have the ability to teach a few points, I will break through the name of Le Langjun, and take a few more points, I can't say that Wang Rengong has to look up to me, I don't know if Wang Rengong's family has a daughter, recruited me as a son-in-law, grandpa, you don't have to worry about my marriage. ”
Xu Dare glared: "You dare!" I raised you to come out, not to let you be a lackey under the family! ”
Xu Le took the medicine that had cooled a little, brought it over and fed it to Xu Dang, and smiled and comforted: "Okay, well, I have heard the cocoon in my ears since I was a child, and I would rather serve the people in the township than be a lackey under the family." ”
Xu Dang took a sip of the medicine and looked at his grandson.
Nineteen-year-old young man, his eyebrows and eyes are the unique Yingting of the Xu family. His father was like this back then, in Chang'an City, how many people looked sideways!
Compared with his father, Xu Le has more sunny smiles all year round, and how many heroes have feuds between young people, Xu Le can resolve them with a smile.
When he is old, he can no longer protect him, and he can no longer shield this beloved grandson from the wind and rain............
In the future, Xu Le can only go on his own, in this chaotic world............
After drinking the medicine, Xu Dare lifted the felt and was about to sit up. Xu Le hurriedly stepped forward to support, seeing that half of his grandfather, who was famous in the Sanggan River Valley, was stiff and still trying to sit up straight, Xu Le's heart was sour, but he restrained himself. also joked: "I know grandpa, you are an old horse, and you have a friendship with the Dadan department, but I really can't take grandpa on the road." I can't take care of that............"
Xu Dare glared: "The old man wants you to take care of it!" ”
After barely sitting down, Xu dared to look at Xu Le steadily, and finally spoke after a long silence: "Leave tomorrow?" ”
Xu Le nodded: "Eight people were selected, Han Yue and I led the team, and twenty heads of livestock were also ready." Sixteen packs of grain, four packs of salt. If you don't go on the road tomorrow, you won't be able to post the forage money. ”
Xu Dang, who has a chic and calm attitude towards his grandson, has no choice, he has been hard and serious all his life, old and strong. The son who died early has always acted in a straightforward manner. I don't know how this grandson was raised like this.
However, Xu Dang still knew that behind Xu Le's easy-going and chic smiling demeanor, there was a sharp and almost compelling nature. It's really a critical juncture, Xu Le can poke a hole in the sky!
But I don't know how much time I have left, and I can restrain this only bloodline that is as sharp as a sword and can't wait to plunge into this troubled world?
Xu Dang slowly spoke: "I'm old, I can't take care of you for the rest of my life." The world will be chaotic, and you will always have to face this world............ Tomorrow's departure, tomorrow's departure. But there are two things you should keep in mind. ”
Xu Le also restrained his smile, lowered his hand and said, "Grandpa, I'll listen." ”
Xu Dang's voice was like iron: "The ancestors of the Xu family, rode north with their ancestors, failed to return to the south, moved to the north, and finally traveled to Mayi. For hundreds of years, the Hu people have plagued the Central Plains, and the children of the Xu family have protected themselves in the township and never helped the Hu people to abuse. The Western Wei Dynasty established the Eight Pillars State, and the Han people gradually took power, and the ancestors came out to join the army to contribute to the restoration of the Han family. Although he is now living in a secluded village, this ancestral precept has never been forgotten! If you collude with other races, you are not the descendants of our Xu family! ”
Xu Le bowed solemnly, and Xu Le was actually slightly dissatisfied with his grandfather's ancestral training. Riding north with the ancestral car, I don't know what year it was, the so-called can't return to the south, that is, I did Shunmin in the north. The Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty are in charge of the army, although most of them are Han Chinese, but the Yuwen family is still a foreign race, did the ancestors know that the Emperor Kaihuang could finally set up the Han family of the Great Sui?
However, Xu Le has never had a good impression of foreign races. The Turks pressed in the north of Mayi, harassed them in the south every year, and even broke the great cause of the Yanmen Siege in Yanmen City, and in the border areas, the painful history of being killed by the Turks abounded. Xu Le has never been bullied and has to get up.
The Turks killed and plundered the Han family, how could they not repay such a blood feud? But grandpa always has to let himself leave Shenwu, so that he can expel the Turks in the future and make some achievements!
A nineteen-year-old boy has a lot of ability, in this chaotic world, how can he not have a heart for the champion Hou Feng Wolf Juxu?
And leave it for the future! Settle down the family affairs first, so that the old man can retire with peace of mind, and then have no worries. There must always be heroes to clarify in this world, why can't it be me Xu Le?
Xu Dang's voice sank down again: "The second thing is my advice to you, from now on, don't be a lackey for the family for the rest of your life!" ”
