Chapter 550: Civil and Military

After learning about the conversation at the banquet, Zhang Shiqing couldn't help complaining: "When people are proud of the spring breeze, they don't forget the old feelings and treat you as a distinguished guest, why do you have to say these unpleasant words?" I haven't seen you for many years, you don't know what kind of person the King of Chu has become, that is, Tan Wuwu and Tang Weitian, you may not understand it thoroughly, why do you persuade them to retreat bravely? ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Tan Wuwu is a general of the West Road, and he has been fighting in the Qin and Han states, but he was named the king of Yecheng, and there is something strange. ”

"What's so strange about this? When the heroes besieged King Ning, Tan Wuwu also participated, and it is said that he made the first contribution, and it is not an exaggeration to seal the king of Yecheng, right? ”

"It's not an exaggeration, but the king of Chu personally attacked Yuyang and won the hearts of the people of Jizhou, no matter how much credit Tan has made, he is just one of the generals, transferred from the west to the east, and the foundation is unstable. I saw that after he learned the news of the king, he was overjoyed, and I was afraid that he would anger the king of Chu. ”

"Anyway, in your eyes, nothing is normal. What about Tang Weitian? Although he is a brave general, he is also a reckless man, so he shouldn't anger the king of Chu, right? ”

"Tang is loyal and brave for the sky, he is often a general under Tan Wuwu, loyal to the handsome but not loyal to the king, and on the way, he asks the soldiers he encounters to kneel and worship, too public, easy to cause trouble."

Zhang Shiqing sighed, "They won't listen to you." Anyway, you have persuaded and persuaded you, don't be disgusted in the future, let's go back to the valley as soon as possible. ”

It's not easy to think back to the valley, although Tan Wuxian was a little unhappy because of the words "torrent bravely retreated", but he didn't have any suspicions, Xu Ji said goodbye three times and five times, and he kept it three times and five times, first to observe the king ceremony, and then countless banquets and talks.

Tang Weitian often participated, all he said was the past and showing off, Tan Wuxian was more concerned about the direction of the general trend, and the three often talked about the second half of the night before they dispersed, which was quite speculative, but no one mentioned the matter of "retreating bravely".

More than a month later, at Xu Ji's insistence, Tan Wuwu was finally released.

The road was covered with snow, Xu Ji and Zhang Shiqing led the villagers back to the valley, and Tan Wuwu and Tang Weitian sent them outside the city gate, watching them for a long time.

As soon as he stepped out of the sight of the two, the old servant couldn't help but complain: "The two generals are really enthusiastic, but ...... They didn't send any food or anything, and the houses in the valley were all burned down, so where will we live when we go back? Childe is thin-skinned, embarrassed to ask, the little county lord ......"

Although she has been a husband and wife for many years, Zhang Shiqing is still called the "little county lord", she glared at her and asked rhetorically: "What, am I thick-skinned?" ”

"No, no, no." The old servant hurriedly smiled, "I mean that the little county lord can urge Gongzi to go to the two generals Tan and Tang to ask for emergency things." ”

Complaining is complaining, has been out of the city on the road, can not go back to ask for gifts, a group of old and young, walking relatively slowly, set off in the morning, in the evening to return to the valley, see the scene in the valley, everyone was surprised.

Siguo Valley has been renewed, the blackened ruins have been cleared, and a number of brand new houses have been built, more and stronger than before, the roads are smooth, and the courtyard wall of more than one person has been built, making it a real manor.

"It's ...... Is this Siguo Valley? We can't go wrong, right? The old servant couldn't believe it.

Someone laughed and said: "You said that the two generals Tan and Tang are not emotional, but they heard it, so they built a manor for you to see." ”

"I haven't said the words 'unsympathetic', I already knew that the friends that Childe is willing to make will definitely not be wrong."

Zhuangzhong left three people, and at this time they came out, respectfully greeted Xu Ji and Zhang Shiqing, and didn't say much, left the key, simply made a handover, said goodbye and left, and returned to Yecheng.

The old servant took the key and checked it everywhere, and when he saw the warehouse full of grain, bacon, cloth and other things, he was very excited, and praised the two generals vigorously.

Life returned to normal, winter turned to spring, livestock in the valley flourished again, and more than a dozen people who fled over the valley were added.

Tan Wuwu and Tang Weitian occasionally sent people over to deliver some things, but I didn't bother, the weather was warmer, and they led their troops out to fight, but they kept asking questions.

One afternoon in early summer, a carriage entered the valley, and when it saw the magnificent manor, the driver did not dare to go straight in, and after stopping asked, "Is this really the place?" ”

A woman poked out of the car, also surprised, but sure that she had made a mistake, and said with a smile: "It's rare, Xu Ji actually knows how to arrange the industry." ”

The people who came were Tian Jiang and Feng Juniang, and the husband and wife had been alone in Yuyang for more than half a month, containing Bao Dun's army and providing the King of Chu with an opportunity to launch a fatal blow from behind.

After the war, Tian Jiang led the army out of the city and surrendered, the king of Chu admired him very much, and wanted to accept him as a general, Tian Jiang refused as disabled, but he was still taken in the army, until he was sure that he really refused to lead the army, the king of Chu was rewarded and released.

The husband and wife were welcomed, and three days later, the vehicle carrying the goods arrived, and Feng Juniang sent gifts all over the place, even the newborn child, which won the hearts of everyone.

Coincidentally, Zhang Shiqing has not been pregnant for five or six years, and three months after Feng Juniang arrived, the two of them became pregnant one after another, and the valley became more lively.

Tan Wuwu and Tang Weitian never returned to Yecheng, and the news became less and less, until Yu Wu, and in the early winter, Yecheng no longer sent people to question.

Xu Ji didn't ask about the world, and he also forbade the people of the valley to go out to inquire, concentrate on taking care of his wife, and prepare to meet their first child.

At the turn of the spring and summer of the following year, Feng Juniang gave birth to a girl first, a few days later, Zhang Shiqing gave birth to a boy, her production process was more difficult, tossing from morning to midnight, she cried in pain, the midwife was helpless, Xu Ji, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, also prayed to the air, hoping to keep his wife safe.

After all the twists and turns, the mother and child were finally safe, Zhang Shiqing was so weak that he couldn't speak, and when he saw the newborn baby, he still smiled.

Xu Ji sat beside his wife, also looked at the baby in the midwife's arms, and said with a smile: "Do you think he looks ugly?" ”

Zhang Shiqing laughed, this was exactly what she thought in her heart.

The midwife is an old woman in the valley, and she also smiled: "How can you say that about the parents of your own children?" It's like this when you're born, and it's okay in a few days, and then you won't like it anymore. ”

In Daqing in the valley, the old servant was rare and generous, took out the treasured wine and meat, and sent it to the door door from house to house, and when he arrived at Tian's house, Feng Juniang said loudly in the house: "Why didn't I celebrate with wine and meat when I gave birth?" ”

"Who made me a member of the Xu family?" The old servant did not hide the pride and joy in his heart, "The Xu family has a queen, haha, the Xu family has a queen." ”

"Actually, it's the Lou family, you don't have to be proud, no matter which one has a queen, it will fall into our Tian family."

Feng Juniang did what she said, on the day of the full moon of the little son of the Xu family, she and Tian Jiang came to congratulate her, and at the same time came to ask for marriage.

The two babies who were still swaddling made a baby kiss and exchanged tokens with each other.

The other children in the valley had grown to five or six years old and could read and write, and Xu Ji personally enlightened them and taught them quite carefully, but the students he had devoted the most effort to before made him a little disappointed.

Ma Shi has grown to be more than ten years old, quite similar to his father's appearance, and he also studied hard, but gradually lost interest, especially after the arrival of the Tian Jiang, the two somehow became old friends, Ma Shi obviously preferred to follow the lame master to practice martial arts.

After urging him a few times and talking deeply, Xu Ji had to give up on the student and allow him to practice martial arts, but he had to spare an hour every day to study.

After another year, several uninvited guests came to the valley, and the leader was Fan Guan's reckless disciple Yu Zhan, who and the other three wanted to worship Xu Ji as a teacher.

Xu Ji insisted on refusing, so the four of them changed their name to stay and study, and receive teachings as fellow brothers.

Xu Ji saw that they were sincere, so he stayed in the valley, read together, and taught young children together.

Yu Zhan brought a batch of books, which is a rare thing in troubled times, they turned three empty houses into a study, and read more than once a day, which won the admiration of the people in the valley.

Yu Zhan has been running around with the army all these years, bringing a lot of news, but Xu Ji didn't want to listen to it, and suggested that he had better forget about the outside things in the valley.

Yu Zhan agreed, but there was one person he couldn't help but mention, "Kou Daogu is disloyal and has been killed by the King of Chu, but rumors say that this is Guo Shifeng's design to eliminate the enemy." ”

Xu Ji smiled and didn't ask for details, and Yu Zhan didn't say more.

In the early winter of this year, Tang Weitian came, but he was no longer brave, he lost his entire right arm, and when he entered the valley, his injury had not healed, his face was as pale as paper, and he was about to kneel down when he saw Xu Ji, and after being helped up, he said: "I only now understand what Gongzi's sentence 'retreating bravely' means." ”

Tang Weitian changed his habit of boasting, not mentioning how he was injured and what battles he had won, Ma Shi heard that this person was the number one fierce general in the world, and he wanted to learn some real skills from him, but he was ruthlessly refused.

Tang Weitian actually wanted to change his studies, "I have done many things, and I now want to understand what these things mean, and whether Maitreya Buddha has any arrangements for me." ”

Tang Weitian insisted on worshipping Xu Ji as a teacher, Xu Ji accepted, this was the first time he officially accepted an apprentice, but Tang Weitian was not a big disciple, "Chang Yanzhi is the first disciple I accepted, you have to remember this senior brother." ”

Tang Weitian remembered in his heart, he is now over 20 years old, he has lost his usual right arm, and what he lacks most in his life is patience, so his literacy is quite slow, and his progress is not even as good as that of a child of a few years old.

He was angry, blamed Xu Ji and blamed himself, and when he felt the most difficult, he fled from the valley, and only came back in embarrassment after half a month, without saying anything, and continued to write with one arm after eating.

It took three years for Tang Wei to know enough words to be able to read books fluently.

That is, in these three years, the king of Chu won the world and ascended the throne as the emperor, although there are rebellions from time to time in the Quartet, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Tan Wuwu was not killed, and returned to Yecheng to be the king, occasionally visiting old friends and laughing about the past.

In the autumn of the year when Xu Ji's eldest son was seven years old, Tan Wuwu came to the valley in person to report a piece of good news: the emperor was visiting all directions, and he was going to come to Yecheng next month, so he sent someone over early, saying that he wanted to see Xu Ji.

Xu Ji almost didn't remember Song Zhuzhu's appearance.
