Zhang Xian's affairs were well arranged, and for the first time since the crossing, he was idle and was called by his mother to speak.

"Mother, I don't know what to do with calling the child in the morning?" Zhang Xian respectfully knelt down for his mother.

When the old lady saw Zhang Xian coming, she asked leisurely:

"Nianxin told Weiniang that my son's recent things have been arranged, but there is one thing, but Weiniang can't rest assured, and today I need Xian'er to give my mother an explanation!"

Zhang Xian looked at his mother's serious expression, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart, but when he looked at Nian Xin standing next to him, his face was blushing, and his eyes didn't dare to look at him at all.

"Mother, if you have anything to say, but it doesn't hurt to ask, the child must know everything, and there is no end to it! Mother's mind is relaxed. ”

"Well, my mother asked you, do you dislike your thoughts? Since my son came back, it has been a long time, but recently I learned that you and Nianxin have not yet had a round house, do I don't like Nianxin, or what? Want to have no queen in the Zhang family? ”

When Zhang Xian heard his mother speak like this, he must have asked his heart, this girl probably couldn't hide the words in her heart, and she told her mother everything in fifteen and ten. In fact, Zhang Xian himself is not a gentleman, when he meets a pink, tender and delicate Lori, where does he not want to fall into bed? It's just that Zhang Xian hopes that this kind of pushdown is a heart-to-heart pushdown, not because of abiding by the etiquette of this era, and ritually pushing the other party down. But now in front of my mother, I still need to have an attitude:

"Mother, it's not that the child doesn't want to have a round house, but what happened recently is all a matter of life and death for the family, so the child's mind is not on this for the time being, and when the child completes the emperor's mission this time, it's just, it's almost!"

As soon as the old lady heard Zhang Xian say that she would wait until the emperor came back, it would be two months later, so she said directly:

"Where did I get all this red tape? It's okay to be busy before, but there are still nine days before the escort emperor sends him to Ezhou, you must round the house in these days, and you will have to hug your grandson next year as a mother, if you don't have a grandson next year, then my son is not filial! Well, also, what are you still calling sons and slaves, it seems too rusty, how can you get close? Starting today, for the mother, you will change the title to be commensurate with the husband and the lady! While it's still early, you and Nianxin go to Guanyin Temple to burn incense, and beg the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva to send a big fat boy to the Zhang family!"

Zhang Xiangang wanted to say that he couldn't be in a hurry, but seeing that his mother said something heavy with a calm face, he understood that now was not the time to argue with his mother, so he hurriedly agreed. Zhang Xian replied:

"The child obeys his mother's command! This is with the heart, oh no, go to Guanyin Temple with the lady to burn incense! ”

Zhang Xian came out with a delicate red face, and he was worried about the processing room on the mountain behind the ancestral hall, so he said to Nianxin:

"Lady, accompany the prime minister to go to the mountain behind the ancestral hall first, and then go to the Guanyin Temple, okay?!"

Nian Xin is floating today, first asked by Mrs. if the two have a round room, and then Mrs. formally asked the two to be husband and wife, although they are just concubines, but, in their hearts, they are still very satisfied with the current situation, after all, their own husband is a talent, witty and humorous, and very concerned about their own feelings, even if they marry someone else as a wife, it is difficult to meet such a husband, so he said shyly:

"The husband sings and the wife follows, and the concubine has everything, but the husband is in charge!"

About a moment, Zhang Xian and his wife came to the entrance of the mountain behind the ancestral hall, but they saw a hill like a basin, the mountain is not high, about ten zhang or more, there is a gap in the road into a road, inside is a wide flat land with a radius of 300 zhang, one side is the processing room, and the other side is the training ground of the family.

The four family members on duty at the intersection saw the patriarch coming, and immediately visited the patriarch and ran to report Niu Dameng, after Niu Dameng received the report, he ran out with three strong men with a smile, stood still, and saluted with a cross chest:

"Subordinate Niu Dameng pays a visit to the son!"

The three strong men behind Niu Dameng also saluted:

"Subordinate Xia Kun, Li Jinde, and Jiang Wei pay a visit to the son!"

Zhang Xian nodded at the four of them, and Niu Dameng said to the son:

"Son, these three people are the deputy captains selected by their subordinates, Fang Kun's father was the head of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army before his death, and he was good at gun and stick assassination, Fang Kun got his father's true inheritance, and he walked fifty moves under the Shaolin stick of his subordinates and did not lose; Li Jinde has studied private school for several years, this person is very intelligent, has studied the Qimen formation, and is good at arranging troops; Not to mention Jiang Wei, Gongzi also saw it, he was eight feet tall, extremely powerful, and his blade was a one-zhang long iron rod, which could open steles and crack stones, and killed bears with his bare hands. ”

Zhang Xian was full of joy when he heard Niu Dameng's introduction, and said:

"Well, yes, since Niu Dameng can take a fancy to the three of you, it means that the three of you are indeed outstanding, and this son is to appoint the three of you to be the deputy captain of the family Ding team, to assist Niu Dameng to train the family of one hundred and forty people, and in a few days he will escort the grain and grass to Ezhou with this son, there are bandits on the road, or there are Tartar thieves, in short, you want to see blood, and it can be regarded as a test of your practice! The three of you go down to practice first, this son still has something to do with Niu Dameng. ”

The three vice-captains left after saluting respectfully, and Zhang Xian said to Niu Dameng:

"Da Meng, the three deputy captains you picked are not bad, since this son dares to give you power, he will absolutely trust you, and I will give you two conditions for selecting deputies: one is to be absolutely loyal, and the subordinates who sell the lord for glory have no place to stand in my Zhang Mansion; The other is to absolutely obey the orders of this son, even if the orders of this son are wrong, they must be implemented without discount. This son will reveal a message to you, after the completion of this imperial mission, this son is ready to expand the family team, and your deputy will also need to promote the deputy in the future, but you don't interfere, you only need to verify whether they are loyal and reliable, your responsibility will be greater, and the requirements for you will be higher. ”

Niu Dameng heard the affirmation of the son, his heart was warm, and he said:

"Childe, but please rest assured, I have told my subordinates that the treatment we take as a son is unique in the entire Yangzhou City family, which is two or three times higher than those of the wealthy families, even in the forbidden army, it is also regarded as the income of a medium general, and more importantly, the wife and daughter of the Gongzi General's family have arranged errands, and there is a share of money to take, to put it mildly, as long as the family has followed the son for ten years, he will basically be a small rich man after returning home in the future. Therefore, Childe rest assured, there is absolutely no problem with the loyalty of these families, because there is no better treatment in the world, this is all the kindness of Childe, and these subordinates are also real people who know the roots, and they know better in their hearts where today's good days come from, and no one will not cherish them. ”

Zhang Xian stood with his hands behind his back, the ancient generals, if there is no team that has always been commanded by their own arms, it is very difficult to win the battle, but in the future, they will definitely need to train the generals like assembly operations, and the current generals basically rely on talent and luck to get ahead, once they are defeated, ordinary soldiers are good to supplement, and it is too difficult for generals to replenish, Zhang Xian turned around and said:

"As long as there is no problem with loyalty, this son is not afraid of spending money, oh, by the way, Da Meng, this son just saw your sentry layout, very tricky and old-fashioned, three Mingxiao, six secret sentinels, are the only way to enter the mountain, the hidden ones are not bad, it seems that you are still attentive."

After Niu Dameng heard what the son said, his face was slightly red, and he said:

"The subordinates are ashamed, the six secret posts have been discovered by the son, then the others will definitely find out, the subordinates were arranged according to the requirements of the son, and they also got Li Jinde's guidance, I don't want to, the son has found a flaw standing under the mountain, and the subordinates are really ashamed!"

Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Da Meng, you don't have to be ashamed, these family members have been practicing for a short time, and they are like today, my son is already very pleased, but you forgot, this son is a tribute, but he is both civil and military, these ways of using soldiers are my master's specialty, this is the mountain to hide six secret roads, you don't arrange six secret posts is not a dereliction of duty?" This son warns you that the way to use troops is not only to be able to arrange troops and make good use of Qizheng methods, but also to look at the problem from the enemy's point of view, so that you can become a real commander of the army. ”.

Niu Dameng respectfully saluted his son and said:

"Subordinate Xie Gongzi's teachings!"
