Chi Fei didn't know how his father-in-law informed the people in the city in advance, and when they approached the city, there were already two young men in military general's uniforms who were standing in front of the city gate on two tall horses, waiting for them expectantly. ，

As soon as the two young generals saw Ning Zhiyuan, who was in the lead, they immediately rode their horses and rushed to them, and then quickly dismounted and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the white-skinned one said excitedly: "Dad, you are finally here, the child has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Another dark-skinned general said respectfully, "Father is fine." ”

Ning Zhiyuan smiled in a good mood: "Stinky boy, get up." ”

The two of them got up from the ground and took the initiative to lead their father's horse.

Needless to say, these two were Ning Zhiyuan's own sons, and Chi Fei hurriedly dismounted and greeted the two uncles.

Ning Zhiyuan followed off the horse and introduced beside him: "Since they are all here, let's recognize my family first."

Ah Zhen, this is your eldest brother Ning Yabai and second brother Ning Yafeng. Your eldest brother is a border army thousand households, and your second brother is a deputy thousand households.

Ah Bai, Ah Feng, this is your second brother-in-law Su Zhen, you can call him Ah Zhen. ”

Chi Fei immediately saluted and said, "Hello eldest brother, good second brother, I am Su Zhen, please take care of me in the future." ”

While saying hello, Chi Fei looked at the two uncles by the way.

I saw that my eldest brother Ning Yabai's facial features looked very similar to his father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan, about his early twenties, tall and strong, muscular, dark skin, and calm momentum, he looked like a more introverted person.

The second uncle Ning Yafeng looks more like his mother-in-law Yao, with a slender figure, handsome appearance, fair skin, smart eyes, and a smile at the corner of his mouth, which seems to be a more lively and outgoing personality. If he wasn't wearing an official uniform, he really couldn't see that he was a military general.

"Ah Zhen, Xiao Zhi will trouble you to take care of it more in the future. If there's something she doesn't do well, how accommodating you are. Ning Yabai arched his hand.

"Big brother, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of Ah Zhi."

Ning Yabai nodded with satisfaction.

In his daily correspondence with his younger sister Ning Yazhi, the younger sister said a lot of good things about this new brother-in-law in the letter, and it can be seen that the little sister really likes him, so Ning Yabai's first impression of Chi Fei is still very good.

Compared with the seriousness of the eldest brother Ning Yabai, Ning Yafeng patted Chi Fei's shoulder very familiarly and said, "Ah Zhen, I finally saw you."

Xiao Zhi once sent a set of the two scripts you wrote, Xianxia and Rebirth.

After I watched it, I couldn't like it very much, especially Xianxia, it was so appetizing to me. ，

I've long wanted to see the famous Mr. Chi Fei with my own eyes, but now I've finally met the real person. ”

Chi Fei said modestly: "The second brother has won the award, I just wrote the book to eat, where is it worthy of the second brother's praise." ”

"Mixing rice can also be mixed into a big writer, isn't this a kind of ability. By the way, how are Xiao Zhi and her sister doing? ”

"Second brother, rest assured, Ah Zhi is doing well. In addition, the eldest sister is also a newlywed Yan'er, and she is quite affectionate with her eldest brother-in-law. ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Although he wanted to ask Chi Fei why he would follow his father to the Northwest Camp, he knew that now was not the time to ask such a question, so he temporarily pressed the question in his heart.

Ning Zhiyuan told his two sons through the flying pigeon that he would bring his youngest son-in-law Su Zhen to the northwest to help deal with the border epidemic, and told them to prepare in advance, and the rest was not elaborated.

Under the leadership of Ning Zhiyuan, the group entered Wuchi County very smoothly.

Along the way, all the generals and officials who saw Ning Zhiyuan would come over respectfully and salute him.

As soon as many other onlookers saw him, they shouted "The marshal is back, the marshal is back," and then ran excitedly to tell each other.

It can be seen from this that Ning Zhiyuan's prestige in the Northwest Army is indeed incomparable.

Chi Fei also found that many officers were still members of the Ning clan.

Because whenever she met an officer surnamed Ning, Ning Yafeng would deliberately introduce Chi Fei to the other party, so that the other party would know that Chi Fei was the little son-in-law of the patriarch Ning Zhiyuan, and ask the other party to take more care of him.

Sure enough, as soon as all the officers surnamed Ning heard that Chi Fei was the patriarch's little son-in-law, they immediately behaved with affection.

Seeing so many people from the Ning clan serving in the army, this couldn't help but remind Chi Fei of what his father-in-law had told him about "consolidating the army" in the three iron laws that the Ning clan adhered to.

He remembered that his father-in-law said to him at the time, the so-called consolidation of the army means that no matter whether it is the main branch or the branch, someone must join the army. And they supported each other, so that the Ning clan always maintained their prestige in the army. Although some people are also allowed to engage in politics, the prestige and power in the army are the foundation of the Ning clan, and they must not be abandoned.

No wonder the Ning family has such a deep foundation and popularity among the military and civilians in the northwest, in addition to the fact that the Ning family has been running the northwest with all their hearts for several generations, it is also related to the fact that the Ning clan has a large number of positions in the army.

Lu Jing is a military doctor, and this time he went out on a mission, and now that he is back, he naturally has to go back to the barracks to die.

Due to the non-stop rush for several days, the group was already very tired.

Ning Zhiyuan asked Lu Jing to go back to the military camp alone to die, while he took Chi Fei back to the local Ning Mansion to rest.

The Ning family's mansion in Wuchi County is larger than the Zhenguo Mansion in the capital, and there is even a special racecourse, archery range, and martial arts training ground.

It's just that compared with the exquisite and magnificent decoration of the Guogong Mansion in Beijing Town, the decoration of the mansion here is much simpler, mainly practical.

The exhausted Chi Fei was no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery of this mansion, and when he came to the room arranged for him by his father-in-law, he almost fell asleep as soon as he fell into bed.

In contrast, Ning Zhiyuan, who has been accustomed to fighting on horseback for many years, is also a little tired, but his spirit is not bad.

He specially called his two sons to the study, and told them everything that had happened.

After hearing that Chi Fei was the "master" who taught Lu Jing the art of refining soju and stitching up wounds, Ning Yabai, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Ning Yafeng, who was more outgoing and outgoing, opened her mouth in shock.

Suddenly, Ning Yafeng had a flash of inspiration, and remembered that there was a plot about using threads to suture the wound in the Xianxia script sent to him by the little sister, and it turned out that the main owner was here.

Obviously, it was because of these descriptions in the book that Lu Jing went to Chi Fei to ask if he could use the same method to suture the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

And Chi Fei not only taught Lu Jing this method, but also taught him how to refine soju to clean his wounds.

Ning Yafeng immediately told her father and eldest brother about her guess.

Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "This should be the case, this kid is really hiding too deeply." If Lu Jing hadn't told me about this, I would still be in the dark. ”

Ning Yabai said worriedly: "Father, even if Ah Zhen is the one who taught Lu Jing the secret method of treating external injuries, but this treatment of external injuries and treating the plague are two different things, is Ah Zhen really sure?"

This matter is very important, once it is not handled well, not only will our Ning family's reputation be damaged, but it may also be blamed by the imperial court, which is really unflattering. ”

"Ah Zhen told me about this a long time ago, he is not sure at all, he can only do his best."

The faces of the two brothers, Ning Yabai and Ning Yafeng, suddenly changed, and Ning Yafeng immediately asked, "Then why does my father take the risk of taking this matter?" ”

Ning Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "If this plague happened elsewhere, I would definitely not interfere in this matter.

But it happened in the northwest, and we must not sit idly by.

The northwest is the foundation and lifeblood of our Ning family, and it was finally bought by the lives of our Ning family for several generations.

There are countless soldiers and civilians here who believe in our Ning family and respect our Ning family.

In the past, there was no way, but now it is rare to see a hope, even if this hope is very vague, we must give it a go.

Otherwise, how can we be worthy of so many soldiers and civilians in the northwest who support our Ning family?

If you want the people below to believe in you, respect you, and obey you from the bottom of your heart, then you must stand up and take responsibility at the critical moment.

Even if you fail in the end, the people below will still see it and know that you have done your best, so that they will not blame you.

I have another plan.

The so-called full moon is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows.

Our Ning family has been too powerful in recent years, and it would not be a bad thing if we were punished by the imperial court for not handling the epidemic well this time.

If there is a rise, there should be a fall, otherwise the continuous cooking of oil will only burn through the house.

This is the way of conspiracy, do you understand? ”

Ning Yabai and Ning Yafeng looked at each other for a moment, and then responded in unison: "Yes, father, the child understands." ”

At this moment, the brothers couldn't help but think in their hearts that their father was worthy of being an old fox, and he was really treacherous.

Of course, you can't say this directly, otherwise you will be beaten.

Next, Ning Zhiyuan also told his two sons about several major events that happened in the capital this year ago, so that they could know in their hearts.

After listening to his father's story, Ning Yabai said thoughtfully: "In this way, it seems that the second prince has fallen behind in the past year, and he has lost several things in a row, and he was almost pressed and beaten by the eldest prince. Sure enough, as far as Wendou kung fu is concerned, the second prince is not as good as the eldest prince. ”

"Let's just watch the excitement of this day's family affairs, don't be careless and let people get involved."

Ning Yafeng said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, we are far away in the northwest, and others can't move us even if they want to use their brains."

But I really didn't expect Ah Zhen to be related to this Wuxiang case, it is estimated that Yao Shangshu must have laughed in his heart, and let his younger brother get a right attendant of the Ministry of Rites for nothing, and he will be the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the future.

There are two books in one door, and the Yao family can be regarded as the ancestral tomb is smoking. ”

Of course, Lao Yao's heart blossomed, he said it clearly, but it's a pity to let me take the lead, otherwise I would definitely accept Ah Zhen as a son-in-law.

Ah Zhen, this kid is not only smart, but also his own person who can put his heart into his heart, in the future, you should treat him as your own brother well, don't be angry. ”

"Yes, father." The brothers replied in unison. 11
