。 The Xu Mansion at night is brightly lit at this time. In particular, there were several torches around the martial arts arena, and Xu Liang in the arena was correcting Ye Yao's posture by hand, and he was talking about the various gists of the night arrow. For example, how to judge the direction of the wind, how to identify the target, how to weigh the distance, and so on. After some preaching, seeing Ye Yao let go of his hand slightly, the arrow on the head of the small bow flew out with a swish, and finally hit the target thirty steps away, even if it was far away from the bull's-eye, Xu Liang still blurted out a good praise, and then patted the little guy's shoulder heavily.

"Okay, it's much better than your Uncle Xu! I think that kid followed me to practice archery, and I didn't know how many missed the target at first, let alone shoot at night! ”

"Dad, don't bury me in front of Brother Yao!"

With a burst of applause, Xu Xun appeared in the martial arts arena. Seeing that Ye Yao's eyes lit up, he immediately ran over to salute, he smiled and held Ye Yao with one hand, and then smiled at Xu Liang: "I know that I am a half-witted person in martial arts, so I found a golden jade material for you, father." What's the matter, Brother Yao'er is the best choice whether he has a good foundation or a good temperament, right? You have taken this apprentice, and his name must be bigger than me in the other day! ”

"Stinky boy, I'll be happy with your father!"

Xu Liang glanced at Xu Xun angrily, and when he saw that Ye Yao only smiled but didn't speak, he touched the little guy's head, and then motioned for him to continue practicing arrows for a while, then looked at Xu Xun and said, "Why did you come back so early today?" You have just been ordered to take over the former military governor's palace, and you are not allowed to stand up to the old men who are twice your age and twice as old there? ”

"What time is this, is it early?" Xu Xun raised his eyebrows with a smile, and then said calmly. "Besides, I didn't just put on a face to show others, today I paid out of my own pocket to invite up and down to have a meal in Fuqing Building. Recently, every time I choose to have a treat there, from the shopkeeper to the guy, when they see me, they are smiling, and Sensei is very happy. Besides, the Governor's Mansion is a place for high-ranking military officials and nobles to retire, and they can't wait to slap me, a righteous upstart. Why should I stand up? ”

"Are you new?" Xu Liang snorted, and then frowned and said, "It's you who scolded Jiao Huangzhong so much that he couldn't vomit blood, I heard that people are dying, you have to be careful, his son Jiao Fang is looking for you desperately!" ”

"It's just scolding people and fainting, what vomits blood and can't make people die, it's really enough to spread falsehoods. If I really have the ability to do this, I will not have to fight in the future. I'll take the lead and scold the enemy chief to death! Xu Xun smiled, and then said lightly, "What's more, Jiao Fang has already been declining, but he is stunned and refuses to fall on his own, so I naturally want to push him." Just now, I went to see him once, and I added fuel to the fire, looking at his dejected appearance, I was afraid that I would go to Liu Mansion in Shajia Hutong again. It's just that he's going to be disappointed. Liu Jin is the one who maximizes the interests of everything, Jiao Fang is already old, and there is a better replacement! ”

"You mean Zhang Xilu?"

Xu Liang couldn't help mentioning this familiar name, seeing Xu Xun's face sink suddenly, although he knew that mentioning this matter would make Xu Xun unhappy, he still opened his mouth and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force them, don't worry too much about it." And I heard that Zhang Xilu never seems to be involved in anything related to you in Liu Jin's place, which can be regarded as an attitude. Besides, with your current momentum. The talented people in the DPRK and China can choose a few more under their command, saving one person from hard work. ”

"Thank you dad for reminding me, I understand." Xu Xun nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and then said, "Dad, you are not yet fifty, and you are actually younger than Zhang Xilu. But for my sake, your martial arts can only ...... "...,"What are you talking about!" Xu Liang interrupted Xu Xun's words with a smile, and then said cheerfully. There is a way, the saddest thing in the world is the tiger father and dog son. Not to mention the past dynasties, how many ministers and brave generals have been there since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that they can be outstanding from generation to generation, it is rare for a son not to embarrass his father. To have such a terrifying son as you, what's wrong with me, a father, retiring early and living a life of teasing grandchildren? It's hard to buy an old fortune, and besides, you also found me a good apprentice to teach, and I have a very comfortable life. ”

Father and son, you look at me, but at this moment, a sinister cough came from not far behind the two, followed by Jin Liubi's respectful voice: "Master, young master, someone outside has submitted a book, saying that it is the master's old friend in Taiping." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Liang, but even Xu Xun's complexion changed. Since hitting the Xufu Gate, the Golden Six Special Administration has ushered in the send-off, and has been very good at screening those visitors with different purposes. Even the person who pretended to be the Xu family in Taipingli, Jin Liu could sharply expose and provoke people after a few words. Therefore, it is enough to let Jin Liu hand over this letter, which is enough to show that the person who came is at least really a resident of Taipingli. Thinking of this, Xu Xun glanced at Xu Liang, and after signaling Jin Liu to come over, he reached out and took the letter handed by his hands.

He didn't care about the dim light here, so he opened the envelope with the lantern raised by Jin Liu, and only glanced at the words on it, he glanced at Xu Liang with a heavy face, and handed over the letter silently. And Xu Liang silently took the letter from Xu Xun's hand, looked down and said in a deep voice: "Jin Liu, you go and arrange it, try not to let people see it, and place people in Xun'er's study." ”

"Yes, the little one understands."

When Jin Liu left at the order, Xu Liang sighed and said, "What should come is always coming." ”

"Even if you come, it won't change anything." Xu Xun coldly burst out a sentence, and seeing that Xu Liang's face froze there suddenly, he reached out and hugged his father's arm, because he said with a smile, "I think that my father didn't say something categorical to him back then, but now he is cowardly?" Let's go, father and son, and go see him! ”

Hearing Xu Xun say this, Xu Liang's face was stunned, his lips squirmed, and he didn't say anything after all. And Xu Xun opened his mouth and called Ye Yao over, and told him to take a bath and rest early after practicing for another quarter of an hour, and when he saw that the little guy nodded again and again, he nodded with a smile, and helped Xu Liang turn around and walk towards the study. It's not a long way to go. However, the father and son walked for a long time, Xu Liang was heavy-footed, and Xu Xun was suspicious. What's more, he deeply remembered the letter that Yang Yiqing forwarded to him when he first arrived in Yansui before, accusing King Anhua of the conspiracy.

When he arrived at the study, Xu Xun saw that Jin Liu was guarding outside the courtyard door, while Ah Bao and Tao Hong were both guarding outside the study door, although they knew that the two were absolutely reliable. But after he pondered for a moment, he still opened his mouth and ordered: "You two retreat ten steps away, remember not to let anyone approach the study, otherwise you will immediately raise a warning." ”

"Yes, young master!"

As soon as he stepped into the study, Xu Xun saw a thin figure sitting on the chair. Even in the room, the man was still wearing a black cloak, and it seemed that the whole person exuded a certain gloomy and unapproachable atmosphere. Thinking that it was this person who had appeared and seen Shen Yue before. He had also seen Xu Liang, but he had never seen himself, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He is a man of two lives, although the original owner of this body is full of admiration for his father but finally failed, so that he lost his life at a young age, he has some sympathy in his heart, but sympathy does not mean that he has to admit that family affection for him, after all, he is another person in his bones! So, after glancing at the man in black. As if no one was around, he helped Xu Liang to the chair in the middle, and then said lightly: "Zunjia said that it is an old friend of my father, is there anything wrong with visiting tonight?" ..., hearing Xu Xun's tone, Xu Liang couldn't help but be stunned. However, he was about to speak, but Xu Xun's hand was pressed on the back of his hand holding the armrest, he thought and thought, and finally fell silent. It was a long time before he heard the man in black sitting on his left speak in a hoarse voice.

"I know...... I don't have the face to come to see you father and son. ”

"Needless to say, respect. My father and I didn't have time to listen. If there's anything important, get straight to the point and don't beat around the bush. ”

At this time, Xu Liang finally couldn't help it. He coughed heavily and glanced at Xu Xun with disgust, then softened his tone and said, "If the second master has anything to say, please make it clear." When you came to see me and Yue'er, Xun'er already knew about it. You should also know his character. Love and hate are clear and resolute, if you drag mud and water, I can't stop him. ”

"Good. Good. After saying two good words in a row, the man in black put down the hood of his cloak, revealing a face that was both burned and wounded by a sword, looking extremely hideous and terrifying, he saw Xu Xun staring at his face, but his face did not move, so he said self-deprecatingly, "This look is very scary, but you don't have to pity me, I am to blame." Ever since I chose the dead end of abandoning my family and children because of the loss of the money I brought out, Xu Bian has already died, so he naturally has no sons. ”

Seeing Xu Xun raise his eyebrows, as if he would really give an eviction order if he didn't agree with him, Xu Bian took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't say these digressions." To tell the truth, I am from Nanchang, Jiangxi, or to be more precise, in the past ten or twenty years, I have been running for the current King Ning. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Liang was taken aback, and Xu Xun had already had some guesses in his heart when he received the letter asking him not to interfere with Ning Fan's Fu guards, so he just sneered: "It turns out that the second master has climbed the high branch. ”

"It's not a high branch, it's just that I didn't have any other way out at that time, and they were willing to take me in." There was not a trace of expression on Xu Bian's hideous face, or it was difficult for him to show an expression that outsiders could understand for many years, "After the Admiral Qian arrived in Jiangxi, he met many officials from Jiangxi Tong Province, and of course he stayed in King Ning's Mansion for a longer time. King Ning gave him a thousand taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver before and after, and let him taste the beauty of the palace, so if possible, he probably really wanted to be happy. ”

"Oh, that's it? It's just that the second master told me this, it wouldn't be because he wanted me to be a killer and did this bold Qian Ning, right? ”

Seeing that although Xu Xun asked such a question, there was no surprise on his face, Xu Bian couldn't help but think of what this son had done in just a few years, and thought of the miracle-like ascension experience. So, feeling even more bitter in his heart, he just paused, and then continued: "Naturally not. I know that the Marquis of Pingbei has always been well-informed, and he will never know these things, I just hope that the two of them can look at the feelings of the year and let go of King Ning's past sins. As for the crimes of the pioneer King Ningxiang in previous years, people are already dead, please don't hold his descendants accountable for this. Since His Royal Highness King Ning is so generous to a mere Qian Ningdu, naturally he will not treat the Marquis of Pingbei badly......"

Without waiting for Xu Bian to finish speaking, Xu Xun said coldly: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, the second master thinks that I, Xu Xun, have now reached the point where I can make a decision on such a big thing with one word?" Hugh said that this kind of thing is really ridiculous in terms of affection, so he said that with your qualifications to say this, who are you from Ning Wangfu, and what kind of money have you received, and you are qualified to say such things? ”

"Xun'er!" Seeing that Xu Xun's words were becoming more and more unpolite, Xu Liang could only stop him again, and then frowned and looked at Xu Bian and said, "Second Master, if you are only here for these today, I have to say, you shouldn't have come today!" If you've said all that's to be said, then forgive me and my father and son! Facing Xu Xun, who was as cold as ice, and Xu Liang, who also sank his face at this moment, Xu Bian stood up and arched his hand silently for a moment, but walked out without looking back. When he came out of the house and heard the voices of Ah Bao and Tao Hong outside, Xu Xun let out a shout of Jin Liu to send people out, and after a long while, he sneered.

"Full of nonsense, he thought I would believe it?"

Xu Conscience's heart was churning, and when he heard Xu Xun say this, he was stunned and said, "What, do you think what he said just now is not true?" ”

"It's not necessarily true, he didn't expect us to believe his words, just a wake-up call. Dad, you forgot what he said to you before. At that time, what he said was that he couldn't turn back on a road, and it might involve his son and relatives, so he wanted everyone to think that he was dead, but now he said that he had lost all his money and had to abandon his family and son to join Ning Wangfu, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open? ”

Xu Liang suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly gasped for a while: "What does he mean is that King Ning of Jiangxi may be...... Maybe it's a bad intention? ”

"Not probably, but definitely!"

Xu Xun thought of the king of Ning who rebelled like a joke in history, and couldn't help laughing. Although Wang Shouren, who is now in Jiangxi, is gone, it is not too difficult to turn his counterplot into a joke and calculate it with or without intention. He spent so much effort to make King Ning's reputation stink, but he didn't just want to make Liu Jin anxious and make King Ning jump up and down. Xu Bian's non-self-confession tonight gave him the last conviction, and it was enough to start arranging with another hand. (To be continued)
