The king of Jin led his troops to flee to the outside of the Saiwai, and the cities were abandoned one after another, and for the Jizhou soldiers, the road to their hometown had become a smooth road.

Xu Ji and Zhang Shiqing rushed to Yuyang under the escort of a team of Jizhou soldiers, bringing a lot of good news.

The first is the return of Princess Fangde, followed by the arrival of thousands of Jizhou soldiers, and the third is that Yin Fu has led his troops to occupy Jinyang before the Liang army, securing a vital city for the imperial court.

In order to meet this army, Yuyang almost poured out of the city, many people here fled from all over Jizhou, especially Yecheng, and saw their children returning from the expedition, they were all very excited, crying along the road, and those who could not see their relatives, asked every passing soldier......

There were still dozens of miles away from Yuyang City, and Zhang Shiqing was picked up by the vehicle sent by the king of Jibei and his wife, and galloped into the city.

"I came to you when I saw my parents." Zhang Shiqing made a promise when he left.

Xu Ji entered the city with the army and did not receive special courtesy, and many good news were conveyed by his own messengers, and he did not need to tell it in person.

Not long after entering the city gate, someone waved on the side of the street and shouted, "Xu Ji! Mr. Xu! ”

Xu Ji dismounted and walked over, "Your Excellency recognizes me?" ”

The man nodded, "Well, I am a friend of Tian Jiang, and I have met with Mr. Xu, and Tian Jiang asked me to invite Mr. Xu to go." ”

Tian Jiang had traveled thousands of miles to send the princess to Qinzhou before, but he did not stay in the incarnation army, and returned to Yuyang by detour.

Xu Ji glanced back, several of his guards had already been dragged away by their relatives, and there was no follower behind him, so he said, "Where are you going?" I need to give an explanation. ”

The man didn't say his name, and shook his head, "No need, someone is looking for Mr. Xu, and Tian Jiang will know." ”

Xu Ji hesitated a little, and the man smiled and said, "There are no outsiders in Yuyang City, Mr. Xu can rest assured." ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Please lead the way." ”

The two of them turned around and entered a secluded back alley, in front of a house, the leader raised his hand and knocked on the door, then bowed his hand to Xu Ji, nodded his head, and left without saying anything.

Without waiting a while, the courtyard door opened, and a woman smiled: "Childe has finally arrived." ”

"Mrs. Feng?" Xu Ji was a little surprised.

"Let's talk first."

Seeing Feng Juniang, Xu Ji didn't have any worries, bolted the horse to the door, followed her into the hospital, and suddenly said, "I should call you Mrs. Tian, right?" ”

Feng Juniang said with a smile: "Childe has to guess everything first, can't you wait for me to say it myself?" ”

"Sorry, get used to it." Xu Ji smiled, and then bowed his hand again, "Congratulations." ”

"Alas, it's a pity that his life is still not hard enough."

"Huh?" Xu Ji was taken aback.

Feng Juniang led in front, and did not go to the middle living room, but entered a side room.

Tian Jiang sat on a wide chair, looking good, but one trouser leg was empty, "Mr. Xu is more haggard than before." He said.

"I have suffered a little minor injury, Tian Zhuangshi is ......"

"It's funny......"

"It's not funny at all." Feng Juniang sternly interrupted her husband's words, asked Xu Ji to sit down, stood beside her husband, and said for him: "He fought with someone and his left leg was cut off. ”

"Fight?" Xu Ji was taken aback again.

Tian Jiang sighed: "What scene do you think my Tian Jiang has not experienced?" I crawled out of the pile of dead people seven or eight times, but I didn't expect ......"

"Still bragging, he was drunk and had his legs cut off by several teenagers." Feng Juniang did not hide it for her husband at all.

Tian Jiang corrected with a smile: "At least ten people, all of them are fifteen or sixteen years old, and one of them is almost twenty. ”

"In short, a group of half-sized boys, cut off one of his legs, scattered in a hurry, and if he hadn't been discovered in time, he would have died in the street." Feng Juniang looked at her husband, with both distress and complaint in her eyes, "The famous Tian Zhuangshi did not die on the battlefield, did not die in the hands of the prince, but almost died in the hands of a few unknown people, and he still doesn't want to take revenge." ”

"There is no revenge, I drank too much wine, and I walked on the street and refused to give way to them, although these teenagers were ruthless, but I was also at fault."

"Could it be someone who designed it?" Xu Ji asked.

Tian Jiang was originally an indifferent person, his expression rarely changed, but now he has become much kinder, and shook his head with a smile, "I have indeed offended a lot of people, if they were designed, they would not only cut off one of my legs." Those people were ordinary teenagers, just like I did when I was younger. ”

Feng Juniang shook her head helplessly, and Xu Ji arched her hand and said: "Tian Zhuangshi's grievances are clear and admirable. ”

"He's not a strong man now. Look at me, please come over, I haven't even prepared tea, you talk here, I'll arrange wine and food, Childe will live here today. Feng Juniang did not ask for advice, but made a decision directly.

As soon as Feng Juniang left, Tian Jiang whispered: "Tian was a hero for half a lifetime, but he was planted in the hands of a woman in the second half of his life. ”

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, "What does Tian Zhuangshi mean by this?" ”

"Ju Niang is right, I am no longer a 'strong man'."

Xu Ji smiled: "Then I'll call 'Brother Tian'." ”

"I'm much older than you, and I can afford to say 'Brother Tian'."

"Brother Tian...... Isn't it voluntary? ”

"It's voluntary, after I was injured, I had to take care of Ju Niang, she said that she was a husband, just I broke a leg, half dead, if I have the courage, I will marry her, you can have a good time. I couldn't be excited, so I ......" Tian Jiang smiled, "It is an honor in my life to be able to marry Ju Niang, and I only hate that I have become a half-wasted person - but Ju Niang doesn't care, but says that this is my dowry, haha." ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Brother Tian's husband and wife are harmonious, and I want to congratulate you even more." ”

"Harmony is harmony, but the ambition is gone, I just want to stay at home now to spend the rest of my life and protect Ju Niang, so I don't even want to avenge the broken leg, I'm afraid of getting involved in right and wrong again."

Xu Ji thought for a while and said, "Brother Tian shouldn't have invited me over. ”

Xu Ji can always bring "right and wrong".

"It's not me who invited you to come, let Ju Niang say it later, let's just drink."

"I'm drinking so much right now that I can only drink one or two glasses."

"You're not suffering a minor injury."

"It's okay, at least it didn't hurt my bones."

"The limbs are still sound." Tian Jiang laughed and said, his expression suddenly turned positive again, "I have no ambition, I just want to live in peace now, please Mr. Xu for advice: How many days can Yuyang be safe?" ”

Feng Juniang came in from outside, "You have to live day by day, why do you want to do so much?" Even if there is peace elsewhere, we will not be able to go. Childe, please come to the hall for dinner. ”

Xu Ji got up and stood aside to wait for the craftsman.

Tian Jiang stood up by himself, took a short pole, although his walk was crooked, he did not have any difficulty at all, strode forward, and said sideways at the door: "Mr. Xu, please." ”

The banquet had already been set up in the hall, and Feng Juniang was surprised when she heard that Xu Ji couldn't drink too much wine now, but she didn't persuade her, and she ordered to change the tea.

The three of them chatted while eating, Tian Jiang lost his ambition, but he talked more, still reluctant to mention his deeds, but told about the strange people he had met over the years, and talked about it with relish.

Feng Juniang often interjected and picked on her husband's words, but her tone was brisk, and she always had a happy smile on her face, obviously quite satisfied with her husband.

It was a happy couple.

Xu Ji didn't say much, only talked about how he found Princess Fangde.

After three rounds of drinking, Feng Juniang talked about business, and Tian Jiang sat on the side and listened silently.

"Actually, it was the county lord who asked me to invite Gongzi to live here temporarily, and she said that the current situation is complicated, and it is not appropriate for Gongzi to appear publicly in the city."

Xu Ji had already guessed it, so he nodded and didn't say anything.

"The county lord also wants to learn about the situation in the state from Childe."

"Lord Yin's envoy will be more detailed than I said."

"The county lord is not detailed, but the direction, and the news from the state is too good, but the county lord is a little worried."

"It's going to take a few days to make it clear." Xu Ji replied.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the result between King Liang and Bao Dun."

"Rumors say that Bao Dun intends to betray King Liang, is this true?"

"The rumors are true, but people change their minds."

Feng Juniang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Childe doesn't have to wait, I already know the approximately." Mr. Sun Yalu Sun had previously sent an envoy to Liang Jun to observe the movements of King Liang, and he had just returned the day before yesterday. He said that King Liang had secretly retreated to Yecheng, and there were few soldiers left under his command, and he didn't know how he did it, and his subordinates were all returned to Bao Dun. ”

Xu Ji sighed lightly, not particularly surprised by such a result.

Feng Juniang said again: "Even if it is not clear for a while, the county lord wants to know what kind of person Bao Dun is, and she knows that Gongzi recognizes this person." ”

"Bao Dun ......" Xu Ji has actually been reminiscing about the past these days, he has met Bao Dun a few times, but he has not had many contacts, every time he comes up with an idea, Bao Dun accepts it, and never shows his edge, "It's hard to deal with." ”

Feng Juniang glanced at her husband.

Xu Ji said: "Brother Tian must also know Bao Dun, right?" ”

Tian Jiang nodded, but did not speak, and his expression was a little old-fashioned.

He also said that Bowton was not an easy person to deal with. Feng Juniang said.

"Bowton is quite capable of being attached to the crowd, he himself is swaying, but I have never seen or heard of anyone betraying him, he used to be less ambitious, and now he is pushed by everyone, and his future is limitless."

Tian Jiang continued: "I remember Bowton because he apologized to me. In fact, the matter has little to do with him, it was a Runan who caused trouble in the Eastern Capital, and I chased him all the way to Runan. Bowton came to see me in person, apologized to me in public, and was willing to take all the responsibility on the man's behalf. To be honest, I was a little afraid of him at the time, so I accepted the apology, drank for a few days, and said goodbye and returned to the Eastern Capital. After that, Bao Dun would ask someone to give me gifts every New Year's Day, until I withdrew from the rivers and lakes, and finally I wrote a letter describing my determination to serve my mother, and he stopped interacting. ”

"It's just a hero, when it comes to dominating the world, he may not be good at it." Feng Juniang said.

"Bowton may not have the ambition to win the championship, but he will be a powerful help to anyone he throws himself into." Xu Jidao.

"Who will Bowton throw himself to? Can the court win him over? ”

"Whoever is in the hands of Runan City, Bao Dun will throw himself to."

Nearly half of Luozhou has now been captured by King Ning, including Runan.

Feng Juniang didn't expect the seriousness of this matter, and nodded: "Understood, I'll go and tell the county lord, she will remind Lord Yin, beware of Bao Dun, it's best to be expelled and merge with the state, if not, it's better to fight steadily than to rush in." ”

Xu Ji said: "Please ask Mrs. Tian to tell the county lord that I want to go to Yecheng." ”

"Go to Yecheng? King Liang has now lost power, and even the counties of Jizhou are betraying one after another, and he really can't last long this time. ”

"That's why I'm going to see him." Xu Jidao.
