Chapter 2 Let's Hold It Together
"Third brother, third brother, don't make your mother cry in the future, okay? Several times I have seen my mother quietly hiding in her room alone, crying your name while shedding tears. ”
The little girl who shouted before and ignored Du Sheng in the future gently took his hand and looked at him aggrievedly and said.
……
Du Sheng glanced at Zhou Xiushu's red and swollen eyes, and his heart softened for no reason.
For the three big and one small four women in the family, he is their spiritual pillar.
"With King Qin's ruthless methods, even if I slip away, I'm afraid I will be found out by him and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots!"
"Since there is no escape, come on! Even if Lao Tzu can't do it, he will be splashed with blood! Besides, it's not certain who will kill the deer! ”
Du Sheng pursed her lips, her eyes swept over the faces of Zhou Xiushu and the two girls beside her in turn, and finally looked at the poor Niuniu who was looking at her and grinned.
"I'm sorry, it's the third brother who is not good, and the third brother promises not to mess with it in the future...... The mother cried. ”
While speaking, Du Sheng also pinched Niuniu's pink little face.
"Really?"
Niuniu's beautiful big eyes bent and asked in surprise.
"When did the third brother lie to you?" Du Sheng smiled and rubbed her head, bent down and picked her up.
"Hehe, I know that the third brother is the best."
"Mother, don't you be angry with the third brother, okay, Niuniu has already taught him a lesson."
Niuniu put one hand around Du Sheng's neck, and turned her head sensibly to look at Zhou Xiushu and begged.
"Mother, it's all my fault. I've been worrying you for a few days. Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, this family won't collapse! ”
Du Sheng began to accept this identity from his heart, firstly, he figured it out by himself, and secondly, the heartfelt care and love of the three women in front of him slowly moved him.
In his previous life, he grew up in an orphanage and never met his biological parents. Since meeting his master, Du Sheng can say that there is no shortage of anything, money, women, cars, houses...... Whatever you want, you have everything.
The only thing that is not there is family affection.
In the past few days, this family of four has cared about him meticulously, and it would be a lie to say that he was not moved at all.
Du Sheng actually enjoys the feeling of being cared for, loved, and cared for from the bottom of his heart.
It's just for the sake of his own life that he is so entangled and bitter.
However, from the moment he made his decision, everything was not a problem.
"Sheng'er ......"
Hearing Du Sheng's words, his mother Zhou Xiushu called his name in a trembling voice, and was so moved that she couldn't speak anymore.
"Little brother, this second sister will help you support it together!"
Du Qi is beautiful and petite, but her personality is like a man, and she has not loved red makeup and knives since she was a child. Don't look at Du Sheng is a whole head taller than her, if you really want to move, he can't make twenty moves in Du Qi's hands.
Of course, that was before, and not now.
"And me!"
The eldest sister Du Yue held Zhou Xiushu with one hand, and also gritted her silver teeth and said firmly.
"Third brother, Niuniu will also help you."
Niuniu, who was held by him, put one hand around his neck, waved the other little hand and echoed with the eldest sister.
"Little Hou Ye, I went into battle with Hou Ye at the age of fourteen to kill the enemy, and I broke a hand on the battlefield five years ago, and Hou Ye arranged me to be an errand in Hou Mansion. Over the years, Lord Hou and his wife have always treated me as a relative, and they have never let me suffer half of the grievances, and the military salary is more than when I was in the barracks! Hou Mansion is my home, little Hou Ye, I will help you support it! ”
A man with a lantern in his left hand and an empty sleeve on his right looked at Du Sheng and said loudly.
"And me!"
"And me!"
"And me!"
……
More than 20 guards in the courtyard all shouted loudly, and the sincerity and firmness they showed could be told at a glance by Du Sheng, as the world's top veteran, whether it was from the heart.
The guards of the Hou Mansion were all disabled veterans of a hundred battles on the battlefield, some of them had broken hands, some were blind in one eye, and some had their ears cut off.
There are also those who have their fingers cut off, or who have made a big mistake in a moment of confusion and have been dismissed from the military.
Don't underestimate these disabled veterans, the ordinary elites in the army are not much better than the recruits who have just joined the army in front of them.
For example, Wang Lao Liu, who has a broken right hand, looks obscene, like a strange uncle who lured a little girl to see a goldfish. He has completed a hundred people on the battlefield!
Even if Du Huaiyu loves soldiers like a son, it is impossible to put people who have no real skills in the Hou Mansion as guards.
Those who can enter the Hou Mansion are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, Du Sheng's heart suddenly rose with a chilling pride!
"Okay, let's hold it together!"
The support of the Hou Mansion at least let him know that he was not fighting alone.
Even if the enemy may be the new monarch of the Qin State sitting on the dragon chair!
"Eldest sister, second sister, you accompany your mother and Niuniu to go back to the room to rest first. Fauber, come with me to the study, and the others will do their jobs! ”
Du Sheng handed Niuniu to the second sister, and Zhengse said.
"Yes, Master Hou."
Fu Bo glanced at Du Sheng deeply, the light in his eyes flashed, and replied respectfully.
More than 20 guards also gave up their hands, and subconsciously followed Fu Bo to change his name, and naturally removed the "small" word in front of Hou Ye.
Looking at Du Sheng's thin and tall back, Zhou Xiushu lost her mind for a moment, and suddenly felt that her son had changed a little. She couldn't tell what was different for a while.
As an international top veteran, pretending to be a god and pretending to be a ghost is the most basic ability.
Du Sheng's previous targets were either high-ranking officials or giant businessmen, and even a prince of the Middle Eastern royal family was once deceived by him and went bankrupt.
has been with this kind of person for a long time, and once he takes on the role, he will naturally have the temperament of a superior person.
As soon as Du Sheng sat down on the chair in the study, Fauber followed and pushed the door in.
"Master Hou."
Fauber bowed slightly and sat in front of his desk, waiting for his orders.
"Fauber, what do you think of my father's death?"
Du Sheng sat up slightly straight, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he threw out this extremely sharp question.
The latter's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly looked up at him.
"As far as I know, you've been following my dad for at least twenty years. When my dad was alive, he used to say that you were the person he trusted the most. Wei sent assassins to intercept and kill my father? Do you believe this statement? ”
Du Sheng suddenly sat up straight, stared at Fu Bo and asked.
"I don't believe it."
Fauber stared at him for three breaths, and shook his head lightly with a solemn face.
"There is only one person in the Qin State who has the motive, courage, and ability to do something to my father!"
After a pause, Du Sheng continued.
Fu Bo's body shook suddenly, and he stared at Du Sheng in disbelief.
Tiger Father and Dog Son!
This is the evaluation of the only son of the Marquis of Zhenguo from the top to the bottom of the Qin State.
Du Sheng's previous performance is indeed in line with these four words. In the eyes of outsiders, he is at most an ordinary person, with neither the ability to command the army nor the posture of talent. And it's easy to be impulsive, and it's often rolled up on his sleeves regardless of a few words.
Fu Bo never thought that Du Sheng would suddenly say such a thing.
Could it be that all the things before Hou Ye were pretended?
Du Sheng didn't care about the shock in Fu Bo's heart, and gently tapped the table with his left index finger and middle finger rhythmically and continued: "Ninghai County is bordered by the sea in the south, the Lingnan Mountains in the west, the county seat in the north, and the Wei State in the east. The people under his rule were about 100,000, and the young and strong were about 30,000. Even if these 30,000 young men are recruited, it will only be an army of 30,000. And that man had an army of 600,000 in his hands! ”
"Besides, Ninghai County is located on the border, which is not suitable for farming, and the annual tax revenue plus all the industrial income of the Hou Mansion can barely support the 2,000 men and horses stationed in the east. In a short period of time, he didn't dare to tear his face completely, and if he looked too ugly, he might burst his stomach! He's a smart guy and wouldn't do such a stupid thing. ”
Who "that man" refers to, Fauber knew by heart.
He never expected that Du Sheng would see things so thoroughly, and he would have the audacity to put it on the table.
If Du Sheng's words just now were accidentally spread, then ......
"Fauber, I need you to do something for me."
Du Sheng told Fauber this just to change his opinion of himself so that he could do the next thing.
"Master Hou, just give your orders!"
Fauber straightened his back and agreed without hesitation.
"Within one day, clean up all the properties such as the Hou Mansion and the granges, shops, and silver buildings under our name, and find out all the people who have problems! I want absolute security, and I will never allow the eyes of any other force to exist! ”
"There is only one principle, I would rather kill the wrong than let it go!"
Du Sheng licked the corners of his lips and gently made a motion to wipe his neck.
What he has to do next must not be missed, otherwise it will be the lives of everyone in the Hou Mansion.
Fu Bo's heart suddenly sudden, and he smelled a strong smell of blood from the six words "I'd rather kill the mistake than let it go".
"I'll do it myself." The killing intent in Fu Bo's eyes flashed, and in an instant, it returned to calm.
Fu Bo is the old man who has followed Du Huaiyu for the longest time, and the two are called master and servant, but they are actually brothers. He has long been firmly tied to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, one is prosperous, and the other is lost!
The Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion has reached the edge of the cliff in front of him, and one step forward is a deep pit, and one step back is the butcher's knife raised by King Qin.
"Master Hou has been hiding for so many years, maybe ...... He can lead the Hou Mansion to find a glimmer of life. ”
When Fauber exited the study, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his heart.
