Chapter 18: Slap and Hand-holding
At the moment of dawn, under the whiteness of the fish belly in the east, the training ground of the wandering army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The area is not large, scattered with all kinds of military equipment, there are some tents scattered in the middle of the shelves of ordnance, the tent is used for a long time, the material is very good, and now it is also a little unbearable, revealing a dilapidated scene...... It was early in the morning, but there were already many people on the training ground, wielding ordnance and being vigorous.
The quality of the officers and men in his hands is high in quality, and his ability is good enough to satisfy those who are in charge of the army, which is the most powerful proof of the power of this era, whether it is the northern states or the south and the east. Advance. Small. Toward. Ting, high-quality soldiers are urgently needed. The vast majority of the soldiers under Xu Heng are refugees from the north, although there are also some remnants of the scholars, but the majority of them are still poor and poor, this group of people is very easy to feed, as long as they have something to eat, they can work hard for this food, although it is difficult for this kind of person to cultivate loyalty, however, in such a society, many people do not look forward to the future - after all, they live in the present.
With such a soldier in his hand, Xu Heng is very proud, proud that even if he goes south from the north, he can snatch a large piece of land from the mouths of many scholars, and entrench here. Toward. Ting, too, was helpless with him, and he didn't even make a move, allowing him to entrench here and live a free life.
All this made him complacent, compared to the **** in the north, the south is more peaceful, and both land and population are easy to plunder...... After material satisfaction, he began to seek spiritual satisfaction. Those who are familiar with Xu Heng know that he was only born in a poor family, and he was still a concubine in a poor family, but he just caught up with the **** and opportunities, so he rose in recklessness. This kind of people, since a hundred years ago began such a kind of reincarnation, the Han family to the rank of scholars, this is the greatest belief of any generation of Han people, the thick and powerful family concept of the gate valve is enough to crush their personal interests, so that all personal pursuits must be subordinated to the revitalization of the family - although he is only a concubine, but in the war, the family is gone, in the case of no traceability, he said that he is the orthodox lineage, and no one can object.
But how difficult it is to upgrade the poor family to a scholar. Xu Hengda has been mingling with the middle and low classes for half his life, and his scholarly anger has long been worn out, even if he wants to lower his head and interact with those scholars, he lacks the same topics. Talking about Xuan? Bard? Endowment? Medication? He didn't understand. Fortunately, it didn't bother him, he didn't understand, but his son did. The middle-aged Xu Heng has only one son under his knees, named Xu Lian, unlike him, Xu Lian has been arranged by him to receive an orthodox scholar education since he was a child, that is, hobbies such as talking about Xuan and changing concubines, and its purpose is also to cater to the scholars.
In this way, Xu Lian easily entered the prince of the scholar clan, and this time was just right, that is, the moment when the strength of the housewarming clan was reduced, and it was also the moment when the military and government blocked power...... In short, claiming to be the descendants of the Xu family of the Xiaoshi clan, Xu Heng and Xu Lian, father and son, made up an identity, not only intersected with many celebrities, but also climbed the door of Xu Shen, the county guard of Huiji County, although they are not of the same clan, but the surname is the same, and the relationship is getting closer and closer.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances.
Xu Heng cultivated Xu Lian's character of repaying the baht now, and he also had to bear the consequences...... Without warning, Xu Heng originally thought that this Spring Festival was no different from the past, it was nothing more than his son talking to those so-called celebrities and drinking wine, at most he had a taste for the concubine, and he couldn't imagine that the son who had always been proud and even reluctant to beat and scold himself drilled the tip of the horns to provoke the son of the Langya Wang clan and Wang Xizhi Wang Yishao, especially that Wang Ningzhi has been in the limelight these days, how can he offend at will.
The lights were dim that day, and Xu Heng was about to fall asleep, but he received an urgent letter from Xu Shen, the shou of Huiji County, telling Xu Lian about his mistakes and suggesting that he prepare early. What should I do to prepare? A muscular warrior with a head full of muscles, what idea could he come up with? The key is that this matter can't be spread at will, this is a major event that will destroy people at least and exterminate the clan at worst!
can only pick up his son back overnight and wipe his ass - Xu Lian has already kidnapped Wang Ningzhi, Xu Heng doesn't think that people can't guess that they did it, just the next day, some strange faces appeared around the station, obviously the spies of the Wang family. was stared at, in line with the principle that the enemy does not move, I will not move, for three days he did not send anyone to take the initiative to contact the village where Wang Ningzhi was kidnapped...... He really has no problem here, he is all his own person, and all the actions are carried out step by step. But the village entrusted by Xu Lian was originally used food to coerce and lure, and it was able to be lured by food, but it was extremely short of food, so it naturally couldn't be delayed, so he came to ask for food on the third day.
Scold...... Every effort was made to avoid revealing the horse's feet, but the shoes were torn.
Xu Heng, who has been in Rong Ma's life, no longer hesitates, what if he is suspected, as long as the evidence is destroyed, they can't come up with evidence, there is no evidence to die, even the court can't do anything about himself: he personally selected more than 30 elite experts, and asked for only one, even if he didn't destroy the homeless village, he would kill the prince of the scholar clan inside, and destroy the corpse...... Now that dawn has come, Xu Heng, who had been waiting all night, still couldn't sleep, so he simply dragged Xu Lian, who was dozing, to wait outside the tent.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and then the soldiers who were practicing spread out to both sides, and a group of people wrapped in mud and blood quickly rushed over, led by their own cronies.
"How, is it done?" Without waiting for the little leader of his cronies to approach, Xu Heng hurriedly asked.
The little leader panted violently and shook his head: "I was about to succeed, but a group of people and horses came out of nowhere, and they were extremely brave and rescued, and I really can't ...... it."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Heng's face turned purple and black, and he was extremely angry, but he couldn't vent, and when he turned his head to see his sleepy son, he was even more angry, he didn't expect this bastard to be so uncompetitive - he raised his thick arm and slapped Xu Lian's white and tender face hard!

At noon, Huiji, the palace.
The news of Wang Ningzhi's return, who had been kidnapped for three days, spread all over the house, and the maids and maids were also happy with the masters, after all, Erlang treated them very well on weekdays and never commanded them, and now Erlang has suffered such a big disaster, but he can escape from death, which can be regarded as thankful. Although many people have their own jobs to do, it does not prevent them from greeting Jiro when he enters the house.
This has created a situation where the palace is full of people.
A large group of small servants led the maids, surrounded around, and even more inside were the children of the Wang family and the people who had helped in this matter, after Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun got off the ox cart, they were forced to accept all kinds of greetings, and had to chat with people they didn't know, humbly expressing their gratitude for being saved. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in his previous life, and he was able to deal with it easily, but in order to take care of Xie Daoyun, who was pale, he had to let out a trace of fatigue on his face.
The sick brother Wang Xuanzhi was also in the greeting procession, he was the closest to Erlang in Su Ri, and he could naturally observe it through his small demeanor, so he said in a helpful voice: "Erlang was under house arrest by the bandits for three days, and he was already exhausted, I thank you for your kindness here, if you don't dislike it, I will stay in the mansion today, and I can order people to prepare some high-quality food, and then leave after enjoying it." ”
"In principle, let Shuping have a good rest, I'm afraid I've suffered a lot these days."
"Then I'll wait and disperse first, and I won't be in trouble."
"Where, Where, ......"
The crowd dispersed, Wang Ningzhi looked at his brother Wang Xuanzhi, whose face was paler than himself, frowned, and had some emotions in his heart, but he couldn't name it, at least it was different from the imaginary family affection...... Wang Xuanzhi's situation he heard Xie Daoyun say, the doctor's diagnosis was that it was a cold, but the appearance was similar, cough and sweating, etc., but no matter how it was treated, it was not good, and the condition was getting more and more serious, so he could only hand over the things in his hand to his father Wang Xizhi to do, and now it seems that he has the intention of letting himself be exposed to these things.
"Rest early." Wang Ningzhi didn't call out the word "brother" after all, but he was also sincerely grateful, thinking that the relationship between the predecessor and these brothers and sisters was still very deep, and they would help each other in case of trouble, so they didn't have to be too stubborn.
After thanking him, he finally entered the house, and there were not many people around him at this time, Fengshou, Qing'e, and Huan'er led the way in front, and the others gradually dispersed.
In fact, he is fine, but the food is not very good, a little weak, but the wife next to him is different, Xie Daoyun was drenched in the rain, and his mood changed sharply, and now it seems that he is sick, from the time he entered the door to the present, he did not say a few words, but he was wrapped in a coat, silently following behind him, and now he is still trying to pretend to be a good wife who sings and sings.
As if sensing Wang Ningzhi's gaze, Xie Daoyun's cheeks showed a slight flush.
Seeing this, Wang Ningzhi stretched out her hand to hold her little hand hidden in the robe, which was warm and greasy, and there was some soft meat, showing that the owner's age was not very old. Rao is like this, and it is enough for Wang Ningzhi to enjoy a moment of charm.
After all, Xie Daoyun did not refuse.
