As soon as Fan Jin arrived in Yanghe, he had already arranged for someone to go to find out the news of Xue Wu's family. The flying phoenix dart bureau dart masters he brought with him may not have much effect in the battle formation, but they are more good at doing this kind of work, not to mention Wu Shishi and his men. These people, who have the dual identities of businessmen and secret agents, are good at spying on intelligence, and they can find out the news on the plug, let alone in Yanghe.

Some of them already have their own network of contacts in the local area, and a little visit will reveal the clues. Ever since Xue Wu heard the whereabouts of his family, he was more emotional and a little nervous. Although her life is much better now than at the beginning, Fan Jin can be regarded as a wishful man, except for the threat of Zhang Shunqing, there is basically nothing unpleasant, but she always has an inexplicable sense of insecurity in her heart.

There is no family around, no one's own mother's family, whether happy or sad, there is no one to talk to. This feeling makes her feel like a rootless tree, and there will always be some inexplicable sense of alienation in the soft red of the world. After several midnight dreams, Airo stayed elsewhere, she always felt that she was living in a dream, everything she experienced was illusory and unreal, and she couldn't figure out who she was or where she was going.

Now that I can be reunited with my family, I am not only happy, but I am also vaguely uneasy in my heart. I am afraid of my father's majesty, and I am afraid of my sister-in-law's vitriol, after all, I have changed from an official lady to a woman who invites a building, and now I am a fan into the concubine's room, the mockery of the god of fate has made her life far off the track, and I don't know what my father should say to herself.

Because of the practice of the Yijin Sutra, Xue Wumu's art industry is only stronger than those heroines on the rivers and lakes, and in the process of walking the rivers and lakes, he has more than once made moves with others and even killed people, which is not an ordinary lady. But when she thought of facing her family, she felt that her heart was beating and her limbs were weak, and she couldn't walk, as if she had turned back into the daughter of Jiangmen in the Jiangnan water town. Whether it is horseback archery, or boxing and martial arts, it is just a skill of his own, in essence, he is still a lady, rolling in the dust, and becoming someone else's concubine, can his father and brother accept it, will he blame himself for losing people to the family......

Fortunately, Fan Jin held her hand, so that she could persist in completing the journey. Originally, Fan Jin prepared a horse, but considering the factors of many people, he still chose to walk. On the way, Fan Jin comforted Xue Wu in a low voice: "Wu'er, don't worry, everything is with me, even if Lao Taishan has a seizure, I will take care of it for you." ”

"Xianggong...... Thank you. Xue Wu felt the warmth and strength in her husband's hand, and the tension in her heart also decreased a lot. She knew very well that if she hadn't met this man, she might still be living in hell, and she might have lived worse than she imagined. It was he who saved himself and allowed himself to live a good life, and he could not hurt him, just as he could not hurt his father.

"Although my father is a military general, he is not a vulgar soldier, but a Confucian general who is proficient in poetry and classics. If there is any offense to the prime minister in words, for the sake of the concubine, please be more considerate. After all, Dad is a man who wants to be faced...... I did small, and he certainly didn't rejoice. ”

Her voice was low and her tone was a little shy. After all, it doesn't make sense to say this kind of thing. It's better to be a concubine than to laugh in Qinhuaihe, but my father's temper is like that, and he will never support himself as a concubine. Even if the matter cannot be reversed, it will never be blessed.

At present, Fan Jin is in full swing, and if his father speaks too ugly and angers him, it is difficult to say what the end of his brother's lawsuit will be. Fortunately, Fan Jin's attitude made her feel more at ease, with a smile on her face, she held Xue Wu's hand tightly and said:

"A hairy-footed son-in-law will always be scolded when he sees his father-in-law, and I have experience in this kind of thing. I think I was taught less by Taiyue Xianggong at the beginning, so I didn't come to this day? It's okay, my heart is not that small. The old man scolds casually, I promise not to be angry. ”

"In the heart of the princess, the concubine is ...... See it the same as the eldest lady? Xue Wu's heart tightened slightly, and his voice trembled slightly. Fan Jin smiled: "This is natural. Wu'er is also everyone's best girl, if it weren't for bad luck, how could she be small for me. This is already wronged you, how can I take you lightly. ”

"No...... If you have the words of the minister, you will not be wronged. Xue Wu showed a hint of joy on his face, lowered his head and wiped something from the corner of his eyes with his sleeve. In the distance, some soldiers looked here, and their greedy gaze fell on Xue Wu unabashedly. Fortunately, although Fan Jin did not wear an official uniform, he was also dressed as a scholar, and with the guards behind him, he was not afraid of using force. Those military men obviously knew the severity, and no one was so tough as to harass the female dependents around the scholars. It's just that Xue Wu's appearance is too beautiful, and it has indeed attracted unnecessary attention. As you come all the way to the vicinity of the brick kiln, this attention grows.

This is a kiln factory located outside the city, near a mountain forest, firewood is easy to obtain, and there is a river flowing nearby, which is more convenient for water. Near the brick kiln is the shack, and the brick-burning workers live in this vicinity. Naturally, men do this kind of work, mostly middle-aged, but there are also some eleven or twelve-year-old children. Due to the high temperature of the brick kiln and the hot weather, people walked around topless, with no more than a pair of calf-nosed pants underneath, revealing two dirt-covered legs.

Seeing Xue Wu and Fan Jin coming over, some men stopped and looked here, there was a man in his thirties with a beard on his face who was strong, full of muscles, and had many tattoos on his body. His right hand was gone, and he was blind in one eye, and he was originally walking with firewood, but when he saw Xue Wu's appearance, he put the firewood away, wiped the sweat beads on his head, and whistled violently towards Xue Wu. After him, there were more than a dozen men, including two and a half children, who also followed his example and blew their whistles at Xue Wu.

Xue Wu's brows furrowed, and he said in a low voice: "Damn! If I had a slingshot, I'd have ruined his eye. Let my senior brother and them take action, and teach these fanatics a lesson! ”

"It's not good, my father-in-law lives here, everyone looks down and doesn't see anyone who looks up, maybe there is still a friendship, I don't know if it's bad to hurt people. After meeting my father-in-law...... There are ways to clean him up. But Lao Taishan is also a three-product commander, how can he live in such a place? ”

Xue Wu sighed and said, "An official who violates the royal law can no longer be counted as an official." Who really uses him as a commander? ”

The two of them walked as they talked, and at this time they had come to the vicinity of the kiln factory. A few dirty children, wrapped in only rags, whipped each other with wooden sticks in their hands, shouting, "Kill the Tartars, the heads for silver...... and run past them. A burst of shouting and scolding came down the wind, and the scolder was full of anger, and the voice came far away, full of indescribable behavior and the ancestors of the other party, which was the standard rough scolding.

This is the borderland, different from the gentle wind and drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, the warmth and vein of the Beijing Division, the people here have lived in this sinister environment since childhood, and have learned to exchange killing for survival since childhood.

Fan Jin looked back at the children who ran over and frowned: "This wooden stick is a bit thick, the child is not light or heavy, if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will be broken......"

At this time, Xue Wu stopped talking, and the person was motionless, as if he had been immobilized. Fan Jin knew that the situation was not right, and looked at Xue Wu's gaze, only to see that on a small hill not far ahead, an old man was dressed like everyone else, naked, holding a cigarette bag and pot in his hand, and the other hand pointed at the person opposite and shouted and cursed, and threw a few broken bricks at the old man's feet.

"You donkey goods, you have X hair stuffed in your ears? What did I tell you, it's hot! If you burn the bricks like this, and you don't rush the car, the city wall will collapse if the Tartars pee alone. If Lao Tzu is still leading the troops, see if I don't ......"

The old man's face was covered with mud, so that he couldn't see his true face clearly, but from Xue Wu's gradually pale face, his violently undulating chest, and the crystal tears in his eyes, he could already guess the identity of the old man. Fan Jin said in a low voice: "Old Taishan? ”

Xue Wu nodded, then shook his head again, "No...... It shouldn't be like this...... Daddy is a famous Confucian general, how can he be so foul-mouthed. Wrong...... He's not a daddy...... No. ”

The voice was choked, tears were pouring out, and there was a little more inexplicable bitterness in the excitement and joy of the reunion of relatives.

"You can be a Confucian general in Jiangnan, but here you have to learn from others and be a vulgar martial artist. Reasoning with those people is far less useful than flipping the table and scolding your mother. If you want them to listen to you, you have to be fiercer than them, rude than them, and if you don't obey, you will beat them, and they will listen to you after a long time. If you are blindly Sven, you will not be treated well in this kind of place, and you will not even have a good time. ”

In the small courtyard, Xue Wu's father, the former commander Xue Wenbi, sat on a stone bench, holding a large porcelain bowl in his hand and drinking well water, talking with his daughter and Fan Jin. Compared with his daughter's excitement, Xue Wenbi's emotions were very calm, as if his daughter's reunion was reasonable, and it seemed that none of this could have any impact on him.

The old man put on his coat and washed his face, revealing a face that could be called handsome. Although he is a few years older, his skin has become black and red due to the perennial light, but he still does not hide the heroic appearance of his facial features. Today's old man Yu Junlang is a little more majestic and chic, and his bearing is far beyond that of ordinary people, and it is no wonder that such a father can give birth to a stunning beauty like Xue Wu.

But when you get closer, you can also find that the index finger of the old man's left hand and the ring finger and tail finger of his right hand have disappeared, and there is a very obvious scar on his forehead. Looking at the wounds on his father's body, Xue Wu couldn't cry anymore, but Xue Wenbi was calm, as if these injuries were all on others and had nothing to do with him.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about? It is common for generals to go into battle without dying and being wounded, and it is common for them to be injured when they charge into battle. Your father is just injured, those Tartars are already dead, this account is settled, we still earned it, you should be happy. ”

"Sir...... You were so good when you were in Jiangnan, how did you get here, it became like this. ”

"It's nothing, at that time, I went to Yansui to serve, but I was just in time for the Tartar rangers to enter the Kou, although your father is a few years old, but after all, he is a martial artist, and he can't escape from the battle. Relying on the skills of the family, he killed a few Tartars and was injured himself. Your second brother went to that battle, but he killed seven Tartars with his own hands, and he didn't suffer a loss. ”

"Second brother...... What about my sister-in-law? Didn't you say at that time that you would only sell me, not my sister-in-law? ”

"Remarried. The women in Jiangnan couldn't stand the hardships of the northwest, and our family's livelihood was difficult at that time, and if they were not allowed to remarry, they had to be starved. One of the two married a general, and the other became a concubine for a little prince in the Qin Palace. No matter what the days are, they don't have to suffer and suffer after all, and the old man can't drag them down. As long as they are willing to leave their grandchildren behind, I don't bother to ask where they like. ”

The three little boys in the courtyard looked at Xue Wu and Fan Jin with excited and fearful eyes, they were the members of the children who were wielding wooden sticks and fighting, Fan Jin gave them silver as a meeting gift, but they were all placed on the table, and no one dared to take it if there was no old man. After the introduction of the old man, it was learned that among the three children, two were Xue Wenlong's sons, one was Xue Wenhu's son, and Xue Wenhu had another daughter, but was taken to her husband's house by his wife. According to Xue Wenbi, there are too many children to support, so they can only keep the boy.

Several children were a little frightened when they looked at Xue Wu, and they called their aunt to stand far away, not daring to come closer. Xue Wenbi said: "The children know the rules and know that they are dirty, so they are afraid of damaging your new clothes." He looked his daughter up and down a few times, nodded and said, "Yes, I always felt that you were the most wronged person in this family, and if you didn't do anything, you had to suffer." Now it seems that you are living a good life, and Dad is relieved. ”

Xue Wu introduced his father and Fan Jin, and then said: "The eldest brother has already known about being wronged, and he has sent a letter to the governor's yamen to ask for someone. This case will be handed over to the prime minister for trial, and the eldest brother will be released in three or two days, and then we will have a family reunion, eat a few glasses of wine, and celebrate. ”

Xue Wenbi looked at Fan Jin and then at his daughter, the joy in his expression was not obvious, and he only nodded. "Good...... It's a good thing to be interrogated to understand. Mei actually went to the yamen of the procuratorate to complain? This woman is really not simple, this courage and means, I didn't expect it. Your eldest brother's lawsuit, there is nothing to say, if you do something wrong, you will be punished, even if you really cut off his head, I have nothing to say. Besides, if he releases it, he will also die. If the Tartars enter the prison in a big way this time, at least half of the men in Yanghe Fort will die, and he will not be spared. It's not just him, even I probably won't survive, but if I can see you before I die, the old man's wish will be fulfilled. In the future, if it is convenient for you, you will take care of the children of our Xue family more, so that when they grow up, they will continue to kill the Tartars and become soldiers for Long Live! ”
