The shopkeeper of the restaurant knew Su Tiancheng, and when he saw Su Tiancheng coming, he was extremely enthusiastic, and personally took the private room upstairs with a knife, while going upstairs, and talking about sweet potatoes in his mouth, Su Tiancheng had arranged to provide some sweet potatoes to the restaurant, and the roasted sweet potatoes in the restaurant were very popular and in short supply.

After sitting down in the private room, Su Tiancheng specially instructed the shopkeeper that the old woman was not in good health, so she should prepare some thick soup and porridge, and the dishes should be as soft as possible.

Although Luo Zijian didn't speak, his eyes when he looked at Su Tiancheng softened a lot, and as for the old woman, she looked at Su Tiancheng all the time, as if she was thinking about something.

During the meal, Su Tiancheng asked Xiong Zijian if he was drinking some wine, Xiong Zijian looked at the old woman and nodded.

Su Tiancheng left to call the guy to drink, but before drinking, he specially instructed that the aunt's health was not good, and Xiong Zijian still had to drink less and take care of his mother's body.

During the whole process, Su Tiancheng's performance was very natural, and there was no momentum at all.

After the old woman ate, her spirit was much better, and at this time, Su Tiancheng understood that the old woman's spirit was not good, and it was estimated that she was hungry, and as for her forehead, it was estimated that she had been sunburned for a long time, and she was hungry and had some prostration.

Xiong Zijian's spirit is also much better.

When the two of them were eating, they behaved very well, and they really did not say anything about eating.

Su Tiancheng was even more strange and more careful, and he didn't know what the identities of the two of them were.

It is said that after eating, there is nothing to do, and Su Tiancheng is going back, it is already two o'clock. Early in the morning of the day after tomorrow, I will leave Pingyang Mansion and rush to Taiyuan Mansion.

"Childe's great kindness, the old body doesn't dare to forget, the old body and the child came to Pingyang for the first time, and they are not familiar with everything here, can you trouble the child, borrow the treasure land to rest for a few days."

Su Ertong stalked his neck and was about to speak, this is too much for the mother and son, his young master has already given ten taels of silver, and he has also invited him to the restaurant for dinner, why do you still want to live in Su Mansion.

"Auntie said so, how can the younger generation have any objections, Auntie's health is not good, and it is also appropriate to go to the house to adjust for a few days."

The old woman no longer needed Xiong Zijian to carry it.

Xiong Zijian helped the old woman, followed Su Tiancheng, and came to Su Mansion.

When she entered, the old woman looked as usual, and did not show the slightest surprise.

Su Ertong had already entered in front.

Su Tiancheng has already said that the old woman will be arranged in the courtyard on the east side, and two maids will be arranged to serve them specially, as for Xiong Zijian, there is not so much attention.

There are many houses in the east courtyard, but there are not many people living in them, after Su Huawen and Su Tianran came back, they lived in the east courtyard, and there were two maids by their side, and the other was Su Tiancheng and the four maids around him.

This night, Su Tiancheng has been guessing the origin of the old woman.

After dawn, Su Tiancheng got up early and went to see the old woman.

The old woman had already gotten up, her complexion was much better, and she had already drunk the Chinese medicine prescribed by Lang Zhong last night, and it was estimated that it had an effect.

Xiong Zijian stood beside the old woman and did not speak.

The old woman was not surprised by all the arrangements.

"Childe, the old body has added so much trouble, I don't know how to thank Lu Dao."

"Auntie, don't say that, just rest your body here, if you have any special needs, just tell the maids around you."

After breakfast, Su Tiancheng had already begun to prepare his luggage, and the old woman, accompanied by the maid, looked around the Su Mansion, Su Huawen and Su Tianran went out early and returned late every day, and they were stepping up their contact with the mansion and land.

At noon, after lunch, the old woman found Su Tiancheng again.

This time, the old woman's expression was very serious, and so was Xiong Zijian, who was standing on the side.

"Master Su, the old body knows that you are going to Taiyuan Mansion tomorrow to participate in the township test, there are a few things, the old body wants to talk to you, although the old body only saw you yesterday, but I think you have a strange bones, and you will definitely do something in the future."

Su Tiancheng looked very respectful.

"What does the aunt command, just say it, the juniors listen."

"You must be curious, think that the old body is a little unreasonable, but you can still deal with it calmly, it's not simple, the identity of the old body, this tells you that you know the old man Xiong Tingbi."

Su Tiancheng's body trembled.

Xiong Tingbi, a Jinshi in the Wanli period, was appointed as the secretary of the military department in the first year of the Apocalypse, and concurrently served as the right deputy capital of the imperial history, and was later promoted to Liaodong Economic Strategy, responsible for fighting against the ** Hachi of the Later Jin, because of discord with Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, the imperial court supported Wang Huazhen to take the initiative to attack, and suffered a fiasco, resulting in the loss of Guangning, and the entire Liaodong outside Shanhaiguan was occupied by **Hachi.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were arrested and imprisoned at the same time, Guangning was lost, and the main responsibility lay with Wang Huazhen, but unfortunately, because of the party dispute, Xiong Tingbi was also implicated.

In August of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Xiong Tingbi was beheaded by the imperial court, passed on the nine sides, abandoned the body in the wilderness, the property was confiscated, the whole family was affected, the eldest son Xiong Zhaolian was forced to commit suicide, and the daughter Xiong Shan vomited blood and died.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the young master of the crown prince, the scholar of Jianji Palace, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Han Yi, was wronged by Xiong Tingbi, and Zhu Youzhen played accurately, and Xiong Tingbi was able to show Xue at this time.

The evaluation of Xiong Tingbi in history is also varied, and there are different opinions, but there is one that cannot be erased, that is, Xiong Tingbi has established meritorious service in the fight against Houjin, and Xiong Tingbi is very good at leading troops and has some military knowledge.

"The younger generation knows a little bit, and the court has rehabilitated Lord Xiong."

The old woman's body trembled, as if to suppress her grief and indignation.

Su Tiancheng was a little nervous, it seems that this old woman must have an unusual relationship with Xiong Tingbi, it is not Xiong Tingbi's original wife, you must know that Xiong Tingbi's wife has also suffered many insults.

"The old body is the widow of Lord Xiong."

Su Tiancheng hurriedly stood up and saluted the old woman.

"The younger generation is abrupt, the old lady forgives, and those who don't know are not guilty."

In his heart, he still muttered a little, who knows if you are true or false, just by a few words, he is Xiong Tingbi's original wife, who dares to believe it.

The old woman spoke to Xiong Zijian.

"Hey, get down on your knees, I have something to say."

"Your father, a lifetime of fame, was tragically framed by a miserly villain, so many years, I endured humiliation, what I thought of was your future, your eldest brother died tragically, although the emperor rehabilitated our Xiong family, the Kesi people have gone, irretrievable, for more than a year, our mother and son have been running around, thinking about finding a place for you to settle down, and now I have finally found it, from now on, you follow Su Gongzi, you must do your best."

"Mother, the child knows what to do."

The old woman's spirits suddenly became very good.

"Young Master Su, the old body has something to ask for."

"Old woman, even if you command, the younger generation will do his best to do a good job."

"The old body has read countless people in his life, encountered many winds and waves, and finally found someone who can be trusted, today I entrust the child to you, it is to cause you trouble, when the child was a teenager, he followed his father, exercised in the military camp, and had a good body, the old body is so abrupt, it seems a little unreasonable, this is the talisman left by the deceased husband, the deceased husband has been fighting for many years, there was once a pro-military camp, after the deceased husband was framed, this pro-military camp was disbanded on the spot."

The old woman pulled out a black talisman, including a letter.

"Today, the old man looked at the Su Mansion, and felt that the strength of the courtyard was a little weak, and the rogue had been looting recently, if Su Gongzi could trust these pro-soldiers, he could take this talisman and a letter, and gather these pro-soldiers to come to the mansion, if he didn't need these pro-soldiers, he would be the old man and didn't say anything."

Su Tiancheng hurriedly took the talisman and the letter.

"The deceased husband's pro-military battalion has been through battles, and all of them are brave men, but unfortunately they have been displaced to the people and have been useless since then."

Su Tiancheng didn't speak for a long time, this is really pie in the sky, the combat effectiveness of the pro-military camp, it goes without saying, not to mention Xiong Tingbi's pro-military camp, the pro-soldiers are all the general's cronies, that is, the most trusted people, Xiong Tingbi suffered a tragic disaster and disbanded the pro-military camp, which is also reasonable, these pro-soldiers, even if they continue to stay in the army, they can't please them.

It's just that Xiong Tingbi has been dead for six years, and he was arrested and imprisoned in the second year of the Apocalypse, which is nine years, can it be said that these pro-soldiers are still alive, so where will they be.

"Su Gongzi is quite cautious, he has not spoken, and the old body also knows what you want, what do you think, in this letter, all the circumstances are clear, how to decide, it is your opinion."

"The old body is a little tired and wants to rest."

Su Tiancheng returned to the room and couldn't wait to open the letter, as for the talisman, he didn't pay special attention.

Xiong Tingbi's personal soldiers, there are 3,000 people, these people, now all live in Emeishan, Jiading Prefecture, Sichuan, a generation, can be regarded as a seclusion, so many years have passed, these pro-soldiers, still live in seclusion in the area of Emeishan, it is not simple.

Su Tiancheng stayed in the room and thought for an hour.

The maid beside the old woman came in a hurry.

Su Tiancheng's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of foreboding came up.

"Young master, the old lady has gone to ......"

Su Tiancheng stood up suddenly, he should have expected that the old woman had suffered such a big trauma, and she had already been overwhelmed by the humiliation, and now that she had found the object of entrustment, all her thoughts were gone, and her life would come to an end.

This is the strength of maternal love, if it weren't for Xiong Zijian's consideration, the old woman might have followed Xiong Tingbi a long time ago.

Su Tiancheng suddenly had another feeling that Xiong Tingbi's pro-military camp would definitely be able to play a major role by his side, and he had to recruit these people to his command.
