"Rebel, kneel!"

In a small house outside Chengdu, a white-haired old woman stared at the son in front of her with hatred. In the face of his mother's scolding, Jiang Xiong was also very aggrieved, and he didn't know what he had done wrong, but because of his filial piety to his mother, he could only kneel.

"Qing'er, you go and invite the family law, and today I want to teach this rebel a good lesson for my mother." The old woman commanded the beautiful young woman next to her, this young woman was the woman who was by Jiang Xiong's side during the day.

"A-Niang, just make things clear, why bother to beat Lang Jun." The young woman said anxiously.

"No, if you don't fight this rebel, he won't be obedient."

After hesitating for a while, the young woman still took out a wooden stick made of rattan from the back room, seeing the old rattan stick, Jiang Xiong was also a little worried in his heart, he has been beaten by this since he was a child, even if he is now strong in martial arts, but there is still a shadow in his heart about this.

The old woman took the rattan stick and was about to hit the son in front of her, but the other party with inconvenient legs and feet couldn't move, so Jiang Xiong had no choice but to move over on his knees and turn his back to his mother.

The old woman did not relent, and waved a rattan stick, and struck her son on the back ten times in a row, and only then did she stop because she was out of breath, and under the care of the young woman, she regained her calmness. And in the process of being beaten, Jiang Xiong did not snort, but endured it silently.

"Turn around!" The old woman said loudly, Jiang Xiong turned around helplessly, facing his mother, and heard his mother's reprimand, "His Royal Highness King Shou invited you to serve in the army today, why did you refuse?" Are you more noble than His Royal Highness King Shou? ”

"No, it's just that at present, I can't walk on my feet, and if the child goes to join the army, Qing'er can't take care of the whole family alone, so I refused the invitation of His Royal Highness King Shou."

"Have you forgotten what your father taught you before? Our Jiang family ancestor was also a general of the dynasty, and made great contributions to the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion.

Even your father died on the battlefield. What about you? But because you are a coward for your mother, if this is the case, your mother will hang herself tonight, so that you will break this thought. ”

"Mother, don't be confused, just say yes." Hearing his mother's words, Jiang Xiong was suddenly anxious, and immediately hugged his mother's legs and cried.

It turned out that Jiang Xiong's father was once a general under the command of the Xichuan Jiedu envoy, but he died in the Nanzhao invasion more than ten years ago, and died in Chengdu Mansion. He was only nine years old at the time, and he was raised by his mother because his father died in battle, so he also respected his mother. A few years ago, his mother's legs suddenly couldn't move, and he wanted to join the army, but he had no choice but to let go of the idea of joining the army and stay by his mother's side.

As for this wife, she was a girl taken in by their family in the early years, a few years ago, under the control of Jiang Xiong's mother, she married Jiang Xiong, and gave birth to a son the year before last.

Due to his mother's inconvenience, his wife and young son, he naturally did not feel at ease to leave. In his life, in addition to practicing martial arts, he went hunting, and this family also relied on him to hunt to maintain the family, so he didn't dare to leave.

Seeing her son's promise, Jiang's mother softened a lot, and gently stroked her son's face with her wrinkled hand, "Don't blame your mother for being ruthless, it's just that your mother can't bear to let you continue to waste at home, a good man is ambitious, and the family should not be your constraints." His Royal Highness King Shou is young and promising, and if you go to him, you will be able to establish a meritorious career, and then you will be able to shine on the lintel.

As for the mother, although she can't walk, the craft of weaving cloth has not been wasted. Qing'er's craftsmanship is also very good, although life may not be as good as it is now, but it is still no problem to feed the family, so you can go with peace of mind. If you can't do a great job, don't come back, don't hear it. ”

"Yes, mother, I listen to you."

Early the next morning, Jiang Xiong was kicked out of the house by his mother, and the other party also came to Shouwang's Mansion early. Since his home is in the Chengxiang area outside Chengdu, it is closer to Shouwangfu, so he naturally goes to Shouwangfu, rather than going to the Tiance Army barracks farther away.

Li Ye was a little surprised to learn that Jiang Xiong came so soon, and he didn't know why the other party's attitude changed so quickly. However, the other party's martial arts are really good, for such a good player, as long as he trains it well, he is a fierce general in the army.

However, the other party has just taken refuge, and Li Ye still doesn't understand the other party's personality, so naturally he will not entrust him to reuse, but let the local government serve as a fire commander first. It's not that Li Ye doesn't want to give him a higher position, but he can't always give him a high position since the other party, it is definitely inappropriate, and other people in the army will oppose it.

Jiang Xiong is just a passer-by who he accidentally met for Li Ye, he is not very optimistic about Jiang Xiong, gold will always shine, and the people under him are not only Jiang Xiong who is good at martial arts. However, for such a potential general, the more the better, and whether the other party can succeed depends on the other party's own efforts.

At this time, Li Ye had more important things.

"What? The Nanzhao mission sent some rare treasures, and a woman? Li Ye was a little surprised.

"Yes, Your Highness. They are all some rare things produced by Nanzhao, and that woman is very beautiful, I heard that Chen Jingxuan accepted such a few women yesterday. Zhang Wei smiled flatteringly, but when he talked about the woman, he obviously felt two sharp eyes staring at him, and when he looked sideways, he found that it was Xiaoying and Xiaoyue.

"Why did this Yang Qiqiu think of sending something to this king? Do you want this king to agree and kiss? The other party also takes it for granted. By the way, in what name did the other party send it? ”

Gift-giving is not just a casual gift, at least you have to come up with a proper reason.

"Your Highness, according to the people sent by the Nanzhao Mission, I apologize for offending Your Highness yesterday by the person surnamed Duan. Moreover, the old slave also heard that the general Nanzhao surnamed Duan had already left, and it was said that there was something important to deal with when he left the city this morning. Zhang Wei said truthfully.

"Interesting." Li Ye said with a smile, it seems that this Nanzhao is quite hard to succeed in harmony.

"Your Highness, what did the Nanzhao Mission send?" Zhang Wei asked tentatively.

"Take it, the woman told them to bring it back... No, leave it to Xiaoyue, it just so happens that the people in the palace are a little insufficient. ”

Originally, Li Ye wanted someone to take the woman away, but when he thought that he had collected all the belongings, he didn't care about a woman.

"Do you want the old slave to bring that woman in and let His Highness see it?" Zhang Wei asked.

"With..." Before the words 'come in' could be spoken, Li Ye found Xiaoying looking at him with a smile, so he immediately changed his words, "No need, what is there to look at the Nanzhao woman." ”
