Rongyang Zheng Yuancong's house, Xu Shiji practiced his fists and feet in the backyard garden, his wife Zheng Lixiu stood next to him, Xu Shiji stopped to rest after a set of punches, Zheng Xiuli took out a scarf to wipe Xu Shiji's sweat:

"My husband is no longer in the army, and he doesn't have any official position, why do you have to practice martial arts so diligently every day!" Xu Shiji wiped his sweat:

"Madame's words are wrong! Although the husband has left the officialdom and the army today, he should think about the four words of danger in peace, such as today's chaos, thieves are everywhere, and if you don't strengthen your body and practice martial arts diligently, don't say that this family business can not be guaranteed, even you and Zhen'er's lives may be worried. Zheng Xiuli snuggled in Xu Shiji's arms with beautiful eyes.

"Husband, the concubine doesn't understand military affairs, and the concubine just wants to stay by her husband and Zhen'er's side and never separate." Xu Shiji stroked Zheng Xiuli.

"Lady, where is Zhen'er?"

"Oh! Zhen'er! Children are snooze, and they should still be sleeping! I let the wet nurse take care of it. Xu Shiji didn't speak, and at this time, he only heard a child's cry:

"Dad, mother!"

"Yikes! Zhen'er! A child who had just learned to walk ran towards Xu Shiji and his wife with small steps.

"Shake down. Don't fall. Xu Zhen slowly ran into Zheng Xiuli's arms. Zheng Xiuli caressed Xu Zhen.

"Zhen'er is so good! Why don't you sleep? ”

"Zhen'er misses her mother."

"Oh! Doesn't Zhen'er miss her father? ”

"Zhen'er wants to too!"

"Good!" Xu Shiji said to Xu Zhen's nurse again:

"Sister-in-law Wu! Thank you for your hard work. ”

"This is what the slave and maid should do, the little boy woke up after the lady left, and he tried to find the lady, and the slave and maid brought the son over." Just as Xu Shiji was enjoying the joy of family, a voice interrupted their sweetness:

"The love between the virtuous couple is as deep as the sea, which is really the envy of the old man!"

"Daddy!"

"Father-in-law!" Xu Shiji followed the prestige and saw his father-in-law and a middle-aged man in full armor at the garden gate.

"Lord Wei! Why are you here? "The person who came was none other than Wei Jin, the head of the household who supported Yang Dong as the emperor. Zheng Xiuli looked around. Farewell to the crowd:

"Husband, Zhen'er may not have slept well yet, I'll take care of Zhen'er to sleep, Daddy, Master Wei, the little girl has retired." After speaking, he saluted everyone, slowly retreated, and Wei Jin also returned a salute to Zheng Xiuli. Congratulations to Zheng Yuancong and Xu Shiji:

"Lord Zheng, Lord Xu, Miss Xiuli is knowledgeable and reasonable, with beautiful faces, it is really enviable that the two of them can have such a handsome girl and lady!"

"Lord Wei has won the prize." Xu Shiji's face was a little cold.

"Master Wei, I'm just a grass farmer now, and I'm really ashamed to be an adult! Please Master Wei get straight to the point and explain the intention! As soon as Xu Shiji's words came out, Wei Jin's face immediately became embarrassed. Zheng Yuancong In order to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere:

"World achievements! Master Wei is your elder, be careful when you speak! Don't be angry, please go to the living room for tea. Please! After speaking, he took Xu Shiji to the living room together. Wei Jin blew on the tea leaves in the teacup, and said as he blew:

"World achievements! The old man has been friends with your father-in-law for many years, and you are a generation younger than the old man, so the old man is arrogant and calls you a good nephew, you won't mind! Xu Shiji did not speak.

"Back then, when Li Mi came to attack Luoyang, you led a surprise attack and defeated Li Mi's record, the old man still remembers it! Hahaha! It's a pity that the old man was not in Luoyang back then, if he was, he must beat the drum and shout for the virtuous nephew of Shiji, and cheer for the virtuous nephew! ”

"My lord, I'm afraid you remember wrongly, the victory in Luoyang back then was not the work of my Xu Shiji, but the eldest son of Tang Guogong, Li Jiancheng, who strategized and confused with suspicious tactics, coupled with the continuous flow of the army of Qinwang from all walks of life, so that Li Mina knew the difficulty and retreated. Therefore, you will take this credit on the lower body, and you are really ashamed to be under it. Seeing that Xu Shiji's tone had been unkind, Wei Jin's face slowly turned ugly.

"Xu Shiji! The old man respects you as a young hero! is a talent, I think you are young and it is a pity that you did not serve the court, so I have repeatedly tolerated you, but you have always been arrogant and arrogant. To tell you the truth, that Li Mi has re-ordered the army to invade Luoyang, the old man came here to recruit you to serve in the army on the order of the emperor, the holy purpose is here, the old man gives you a day, you can do it yourself, farewell! With that, Wei Jin got up and left. Zheng Yuancong hurriedly got up to send him off.

"Master Wei, go slowly! Next time I have time, I hope to come and sit often! After seeing Wei Jin leave, Zheng Yuancong walked in front of Xu Shiji and put his hand on Xu Shiji's shoulder:

"Shijier! I know in my heart that you are a little disheartened with the court because of what happened to Wang Shichong back then, and now Luoyang is Wang Shichong's power, and you are afraid that you will be framed by Wang Shichong again, but you don't have to worry about this matter, because Lord Juwei told me that Wang Shichong is afraid that the end is coming. Hearing Zheng Yuancong say this, Xu Shiji looked at Zheng Yuancong with some understanding:

"This time Li Mi came to attack Luoyang is the plan of the emperor and Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu, the intention is to let Li Wang and the two tigers fight, and when they are both defeated, the emperor will follow Bian Zhuangzi's stabbing tiger and clean up the two of them, Lord Lu Chu knows that you have a gap with the king thief, so he specially recommended you, besides, the fierce generals Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang under Li Mi have a deep grudge with you, and Rongyang is the gateway to Luoyang, even if you want to stay out of the matter, I am afraid it will be difficult to be alone. I'm old, and this family will have to rely on you to support me in the future. Xu Shiji knew that since Yang Guang left Luoyang, his father-in-law's official fortune has been poor, and after Wang Shichong gained power in Luoyang, his father-in-law had to resign and go home, but these days his father-in-law has been trying to make himself a new member of the court dignitaries.

"Father-in-law, let my son-in-law think about it alone." Xu Shiji came to the tomb of his father Xu Gai alone. Reminiscing about the scene before his father's death.

"Ahem, ahem! What a world achievement! It seems that the father is about to return to heaven, and at the time of parting, the only one who can't let go is you! ”

"Father! You'll be fine. Xu Gai coughed, took out a handkerchief with his hand and covered his mouth, and when he spread it out, he saw a big blood flower on it.

"What a world achievement! For the father's body for the father himself to know, I'm afraid I'm going to see your mother soon, but there is something I want to tell you, you have liked the art of war and martial arts since you were a child, for the auxiliary family wealth everywhere to invite famous teachers, you also fight, at a young age to enter the army, get an official position, when you were born, a Taoist priest once said, you are the heavenly martial arts star descended into the world, will definitely enter the phase, protect the land and the people, in your growth of various performances, for the father is even more convinced. It's a pity that you don't have a master yet, but my father also sees that this Great Sui world is over, and Rongyang Zheng is not your lifelong dependence. Xu Shiji opened the bag, and there was a cloth strip inside, which said that King Li met, got Li Ze'an, and built a noble. Xu Shiji put the strip of cloth in his hand and looked at it quietly:

"King Li met, got Li Ze'an, and built a noble. Li Mi invaded Luoyang, and now Wang Shichong is fighting against him again, it happens that King Li met, is this time my calamity, Li Ze'an, built and noble. Li Jiancheng。。。。。。。 In front of Xu Gai's tomb, a bunch of flames were lit, and Xu Shiji packed up the next day and appeared in Wei Jin's military camp.
