As soon as Yang Xue heard Yang Hua's dismissal of Zhang Shumo, she retorted: "Dad, people can't be good-looking, daughters and crickets all learned from Zhang Shumo, how can you say that about him?" Besides, whoever the Lou family can't boast of, they have to praise an outsider, so I think Zhang Shumo still has real skills! Speaking of this, Yang Xue's eyes rolled: "By the way, Daddy, aren't you worried about exterminating the mountain bandits?" This time, the Lou family has a blood feud with the mountain bandits, why don't you leave this matter to the Lou family? ”

Yang Hua shook his head: "It's not easy to exterminate the mountain bandits, even if it is handed over to the Lou family, although they will go all out, but the county order requires that the mountain bandits be exterminated before August 15, and their Lou family does not have that ability!" ”

Yang Xue pursed her lips and wanted to continue to refute, but she was afraid that her parents would suspect her, so she had to shut up. But I couldn't rest assured about Zhang Shumo in my heart: Zhang Shumo went to Baishan last night, and he wouldn't be injured in that situation, right? No, I'll have to see for myself.

Thinking of this, Yang Xue found a reason to run out.

Seeing Yang Xue leaving, Yang Hua suddenly asked Mrs. Lin, "Do you know the relationship between Xue'er and that chapter of Shumo?" ”

Mrs. Lin was stunned: "Didn't Xue'er learn to fight crickets with Zhang Shumo?" There doesn't seem to be any other connection. ”

"Like? You're such a disciplined daughter? I deliberately said bad things about Zhang Shumo just now, and Xue'er was immediately unhappy, is this an ordinary relationship? Yang Hua asked Mrs. Lin rhetorically.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly nodded: "What the master said is that I will strictly discipline Xue'er in the future and not let Xue'er mess with people." ”

Yang Hua sighed: "Hey, it's not that you can't interact with people. This Zhang Shumo has been in the limelight a lot recently, and now he is deliberately approaching Xue'er, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives! ”

In Lou's house, Zhang Shumo accompanied Lou Zaiying to guard in front of Mrs. Qing's spirit, and after a while, the two heard a noisy sound from outside the house.

"Sister, brother-in-law, there are guests." The first thing that sounded outside was Lou Guang's voice.

When the two came to the door, it turned out that Wang Chen had come with some teaching gentlemen from Shanyang Academy. Zhang Shumo hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Li Yi, as a representative, said some comforting words, and asked Zhang Shumo to deal with things at home with peace of mind and not worry about the affairs of the academy. When everyone left, Wang Chen deliberately took a step slower and called Zhang Shumo out.

"Big brother, there are some things that shouldn't have been told to you, but if I don't say them now, I'm afraid of missing the opportunity. I know that your Xianlou family does not have a high status, and you are even looked down upon. Although something unfortunate has happened to the Lou family now, it is a great opportunity for you, the Lou family is now the place to employ people, the eldest brother can do more things for the Lou family to improve his status, if there is any difficulty, you can ask me for help. Wang Chen said in a hurry.

Zhang Shumo looked at Wang Chen: "Thank you, brother Xian, I will write down this kindness first." I will naturally take the initiative to do the affairs of the Lou family, and if I really need the help of my virtuous brother, I will not be polite. ”

As they were talking, a voice suddenly came out behind the two: "Wang Chen, you have done a beautiful job of buying people's hearts, I can't see that you have such a trick." ”

The two hurriedly turned around, and it turned out that Yang Xue quietly slipped behind the two and deliberately eavesdropped on what the two were saying.

As soon as Wang Chen was told by Yang Xue, his face turned red: "What is it called buying people's hearts, I really want to help my eldest brother!" On the contrary, it was you, such a thing happened to the eldest brother's family, and you are still gloating here. ”

Zhang Shumo naturally knew that Wang Chen was buying people's hearts by saying this, and he wouldn't have thought of these things with Wang Chen's methods, these words should have been taught by Wang Geng. So Zhang Shumo started a round: "The two don't have to argue, I know that the two of you treat me as a friend so they care about me, and I have written down this kindness." ”

Yang Xue hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't don't, I haven't done anything yet, what kind of kindness do you remember?" I'm here to tell you a piece of news, the county commander ordered my father to exterminate the mountain bandits before August 15, my father is worried about this matter, if the Lou family has any plans, you can take the initiative to ask for help, I think this task is the most suitable for the Lou family to do. ”

A glint flashed in Zhang Shumo's eyes when he heard this, but he immediately calmed down again: Now it is only three days before August 15, and it is not easy to exterminate the mountain bandits in three days, if the task is not completed, all the responsibility will fall on the Lou family, but it will affect the Lou family.

Yang Xue saw that Zhang Shumo didn't reply for a long time, so she frowned: "What?" Do you have concerns? I thought you'd be interested in this news, but I heard that you showed off your might yesterday on Mount Bai. ”

Zhang Shumo smiled lightly: "I am indeed very interested in this news, but it is quite difficult to exterminate the mountain bandits before August 15, I will bring this news to the Lou family, whether to do it or not and let the Lou family decide." ”

Wang Chen felt very embarrassed by Yang Xue's revelation just now, so he took the opportunity to say: "I still say the same thing, if the eldest brother needs help, just come to me." I know that my eldest brother must be busy these days, so I won't bother and leave it at that. ”

Bidding farewell to Wang Chen, Yang Xue also wanted to continue to talk about something, but she couldn't find a topic, so she had to say goodbye, just two steps, Yang Xue suddenly turned around: "August 15, my finals, will you still come?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head a little helplessly: "What do you think?" ”

Yang Xue nodded: "It doesn't matter, I will try my best to win the championship if you come or not, I was taught by you, and I will never embarrass you." ”

Zhang Shumo also nodded: "Come on!" After saying that, the two said goodbye.

Back home, Zhang Shumo found the second master Lou Yi and told him the news of the crusade against the mountain bandits, Lou Yi thought for a moment and decided to tell the news to Master Lou.

After Lou Jun heard the news, he struggled to do it. Due to the excessive blood loss last night, Lou Jun's body is still very weak, but he still resolutely decided to hold a meeting of the whole clan.

Soon, Lou's family was gathered, and everyone came to Lou's house. Lou Jun walked out with the support of his three brothers.

"At this time, I called everyone over because I had something to tell you, the county lord ordered to exterminate the mountain bandits before August 15." Lou Jun said.

When the Lou family heard this, they applauded, but Master Lou stopped them: "Now there is an opportunity in front of the Lou family, as long as we take the initiative to ask Ying, we can personally lead the army to exterminate the mountain bandits." But the county lord gave a time limit, if he couldn't exterminate the mountain bandits before August 15, presumably the Lou family would also be punished. I summoned everyone here to ask everyone's opinions, our Lou family, should we take the initiative to ask Ying to exterminate the mountain bandits! ”

Hearing Master Lou's words, the Lou family began to discuss, and then Lou Zaiying stood up without hesitation: "Grandpa, Zaiying agrees to ask Ying to exterminate the mountain bandits!" ”

"Grandpa, Lou Xing agrees to ask Ying to exterminate the mountain bandits!"

After Lou Zaiying finished speaking, the Lou family began to respond, and they all stood up: "Master, we agree to ask Ying to exterminate the mountain bandits!" ”
