Chapter 272: Twelve Goblins
Huang Ba said: "The lonely king plans to accept Shaobao as his righteous son. ”
When Hong Liang heard this, he shouted: "What? Call my nephew to be your son! Our two officials don't do it, Shaobao, let's go!"
Huang Ba asked, "For what?"
"You're looking for a bargain. On the first day you came, you asked my nephew to be your son; In a few days, you won't let him be your grandson? We're not going to do it!"
Huang Ba smiled: "When you are a son, you will always be a son, how can you be a grandson for a few days!" The lonely king has a son named Huang Guanbao, who has died, opened the skylight and said bright words, if the lonely king sits in the palace in the future, there is not even a prince, so what can it do? It is good for Shaobao for the lonely king to accept the righteous son, and after the lonely king is a hundred years old, Shaobao will be in charge of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"
Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu hurriedly said: "Shaobao, this is a step to the sky!"
Shao Bao said: "Two uncles, according to the child's view, let's agree." ”
Hong Liang said: "Since you are willing, we don't care." Shao Bao knelt down to meet his godfather. The old thief Huang Ba was overjoyed and said: "Shaobao, there is another word for my father, from now on, you don't want to call Hong Shaobao." It's called Huang Shaobao, are you willing?"
Shao Bao said: "I am willing, but the two uncles ......"
"Then ask the two of them."
"Two uncles, in the future, my surname will be Huang, my name will be Huang Shaobao, okay?"
Hong Liang said: "You can have whatever surname you want, we don't care." ”
Huang Ba was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered a wedding banquet in the living room of Yin'an Palace, and accepted two town hall generals, and secondly, he received a hurried godson Huang Shaobao, and the whole house celebrated. This one comes. The whole exclusive city is more lively than a happy event.
Huang Ba called all the famous generals in the house, fortunately, King Ning did not stay long, and after Meng Ranhao died, he took his men back to Shandong. A group of people who knew Li Mingyuan were also taken away by him. Otherwise, Li Mingyuan would definitely die young.
Sun Hong and others all came to eat Huang Ba's wedding wine. Huang Ba introduced Huang Shaobao, Hong Liang, and You Hai to everyone. Everyone gave Huang Ba a happy heart, and Shao Bao gave everyone a full drink. Huang Ba saw that Shao Bao couldn't sit down, so he poured wine for this one and vegetables for a while. I thought: No. So many people eat and drink, and my son Shaobao is so polite, he can't eat or drink himself, and he pours wine and food for everyone. Doesn't that wear my son out? If I want to block it. Everyone will be unhappy. Simply. I'll take him to the study, and the father and son will eat it alone! Thinking of this, he stood up. said, "Shaobao, you go with your father." ”
He brought Shao Bao into his study and hoped that his subordinates would set up wine in the study. Shao Bao asked, "Father, why don't you wait for the living room to have a banquet in the study?"
"Let me tell you the truth, so many people don't even have a single eyesight, so I asked my son to run before and after running to fill them with wine and food, because my father felt sorry for you, and was afraid that it would tire you, so he brought you here. Our father and son eat here, how quiet!"
Mingyuan secretly thought: You old thief is very distressed for me! Hmph, no matter what, you can't escape the knife! The two of them were eating and drinking, when they heard a woman talking outside. Li Mingyuan looked up and saw a girl walking outside the study. Huang Ba said: "Daughter, you came just in time, my father is about to send someone to find you!"
When Shao Bao heard Huang Ba call her his daughter, he thought to himself; I heard that there are two girls in the exclusive city who are very skilled, and they captured Zhang Xin and Wang Qi. One of these two girls is Huang Ba's daughter, named Huang Yuxia, and the other is Huang Ba's niece and Zhu Bao's sister, named Zhu Fenglan. I've got to keep an eye on these two girls! I almost folded it in this girl's hand last time.
At this time, Huang Yuxia came to Huang Ba to salute and said, "See my father." I heard that my father held a banquet in the palace, I don't know what happy things to do! ”
Huang Ba briefly said the three heroes of Hong Liang, You Hai, and Shaobao today, and shouted: "Shaobao, come over and introduce you to your father." ”
Li Mingyuan came over and stood on the opposite face with the girl, and saw that the girl looked really beautiful like a fairy. Huang Ba said: "Shaobao, she is Huang Yuxia, the daughter of her father, who is seventeen years old this year.
The girl saw that Shao Bao looked different and looked familiar, and asked, "Daddy, who is he?"
"His name is Hong Shaobao, I accepted him as my righteous son, and changed his surname to Huang Shaobao."
Huang Yuxia listened to it, and thought to herself: Daddy only cares about accepting his own son and helping him win the country, but he threw his daughter and my life's events out of the clouds. There are such good heroes, why don't you recruit a son-in-law? I just want to accept a righteous son! She only cared about her thoughts and didn't return the courtesy.
Huang Ba said: "My daughter sits down, and our family eats a bar in the study." The girl sat down.
Huang Ba looked at it, one side was a child, and the other side was a woman, and his heart was beautiful! He said: "You two brothers and sisters should be closer and closer, I am friends with King Ning, but there are many more capable people under him than we have exclusive cities, I am afraid that after I and him take over Dahua, Zhao Changyong will not be called to sit for his father." Won't we be in vain? If one of my sons and daughters is an unexpected master, and I take the country, I will be guaranteed to be my father and sit on the throne. At that time, my daughter will be the imperial aunt, and my son will be the crown prince!"
Shao Bao said: "Please rest assured that my father and I will definitely protect my father and the king." "In the middle of eating and drinking. Shao Bao said: "Father, I haven't seen my godmother yet!"
"My son is so clever and polite. Don't go to see them, I'll send a message for them to come and see you." Shao Bao heard this. I thought it was a little strange, but I didn't ask any further. Huang Ba ordered someone to call all the princesses. It was not a long time, and twelve women came from outside, all of them in their thirties, all of them with oily hair and flour, and dressed in satin. Wearing three-ring jewelry, dressed up in fancy clothes, as soon as you enter the door, a fragrance comes to your nose.
Why does it smell so good? These women all carry incense beads, fragrant noodles, incense powder, and incense strings. These twelve women were like twelve goblins, and they went into the study to meet Huang Ba: "Lord Wang, I don't know what to call my sister for?"
Huang Ba said, "You guys sit down first." ”
Huang Yuxia had finished seeing the ceremony in the past, and Huang Ba shouted: "Shaobao, these twelve are all your mother." If you kowtow one by one. I'm afraid I'll tire my son. In this way, kowtow and you'll have it. ”
Li Mingyuan hated these people from the bottom of his heart, but he had to force a smile. Kneel down and kowtow. The twelve women said, "Lord, who is this?"
"This kid and his two uncles' bodyguards came here to perform because of the loss of dart silver, and happened to meet Cai and Ji Er. He was originally Minghong Shaobao, but I accepted him as my righteous son, changed his surname to Huang, and called Huang Shaobao. How much you will love this child in the future. I have brought you here, so that he may meet you, and get to know you. Now there's nothing else to do, so go back. ”
After the twelve women left. The three of them went on to eat and drink. Mingyuan said, "Sister." I forgot to ask, which of these twelve old ladies is our biological mother?"
Huang Yuxia heard this sentence and didn't answer a word. Tears were falling. I was stunned. Huang Ba said, "Son. Don't ask, she's dead!"
The girl was very unhappy and said, "Daddy, you old husband and wife have hurt their peace." The relationship between husband and wife has been severed, but the relationship between our mother and daughter has not been broken, Shao Bao asked which one is the biological mother, I should tell him, and I should also take him to see him. Is it because of the discord between your husband and wife that the relationship between our mother and daughter has been severed? Again. You're not here for the big deal. You marry the princess of the twelfth room, and my mother is lonely and lonely in the empty house, which is pitiful enough. We are her children. Isn't Daddy going to see her if we don't go to see her again? Not only did I tell my brother, but I also wanted to take him to see his mother. Go now. Speaking of this, she stood up and grabbed Shaobao: "Brother, go, go with my sister to see our mother." ”
Huang Ba said: "I can't go. ”
Huang Yuxia said: "I have to go, I can't help my father in this matter." ”
Huang Ba saw his daughter shed tears and led Shaobao away, and it was difficult to stop him again. Suddenly, he remembered that he only cared about the pain, took Shaobao to the study to drink, and sunburned the guests. He was afraid that the guests would be unhappy, so he hurried out of the study and ran to the Yin'an Palace.
Huang Yuxia took Shaobao out of the study. Shao Bao wanted to find out the inside story, so he asked, "Sister, what's going on?"
Huang Yuxia said: "Brother, sister tell you, after our father colluded with Zhao Changyong, the king of Ning, Zhao Changyong asked our father to recruit troops and buy horses, collect grass and hoard grain, and the two of them want to raise troops to sit in the palace." Our mother persuaded her again and again, but my father didn't listen, so the old couple often raised their mouths. Over time, it became more and more emotional, and the old lady committed suicide twice! Thanks to Yahuan's care, he didn't die. Later, I asked my father for the cross-courtyard in the northwest corner, and I took a few henchmen and girls to live there alone. The mother said, 'You do your evil, I will cultivate my good, and the water of the well will not disturb the water of the river.' As soon as my father left our mother, he married twelve princesses in succession. This time, our mother was even more angry, and she simply disappeared from her father's face. My father was ruthless enough, and he never went to the cross-courtyard once. However, I have to visit my mother every day. ”
Huang Yuxia said as she walked, Mingyuan listened to these words, and thought: It seems that this old lady is really good, and when we open the exclusive city, we will definitely leave this old lady.
Huang Yuxia led Shaobao to the cross-courtyard door in the northwest corner and snapped the door knocker. It didn't take much time, and Yahuan opened the door: "Yo, miss, the old lady still read you just now." ”
Shao Bao entered the courtyard and saw that the courtyard was very clean, among which was a square brick road, with pine trees planted on both sides, and a flat sandy land on the right, with knives and guns on both sides. Li Mingyuan looked at it and hurriedly asked, "Sister, our mother is a military general?"
"It's not."
"Then why are there still knife and gun racks here?"
"The rack of knives and guns is for me. I came here every day to say hello to my mother, and after saying hello, I practiced martial arts in the martial arts training ground. ”
"It seems that my sister is really ambitious!"
"My father always wants to rebel, if I don't practice my skills well, let alone protect my father, I won't even be able to save my own life."
While they were talking, they came to the old lady's upper room. The girl didn't call Yahuan Tongyu, so she took Shao Bao into the Ding House. In the upper room sat an old lady, in her fifties, with white sideburns, a sad face, and ordinary dress. When she saw the girl come in, she was about to ask questions, but when she saw that there was a handsome young man behind her, she didn't know who it was, so she didn't squeak. The girl came up to see her mother.
The old lady asked, "Who is he?"
After the girl told the origin of Shaobao, she said, "Brother, come here, didn't you say you wanted to see your mother?" This is our mother. ”
Li Mingyuan knelt down and kowtowed, and bowed: "The son and the young man kowtow to his mother." ”
The old lady looked at it carefully, told Shao Bao to get up, sat aside, and asked, "Have you finished eating?"
"I've eaten it."
"Oh, if you don't have one, eat it at my place. Forget it after eating. I don't have anything to eat here. He also asked Yahuan to bring tea and asked, "Shaobao, you come to me, does your father know what to do?"
"Zhilu Dao."
"Your sister is leading you, or he would never have called you to come to me."
The old lady looked at Mingyuan again and began to cry. The girl said, "Mother, what are you doing here?" You should be happy when I brought my brother to visit you, why are you crying?"
Li Mingyuan said: "Mother, are you angry with my brother and sister?"
The old lady said, "Your sister is my heart, and I miss it for a day." You and I meet for the first time. Why are you angry with your mother? Child, I'm sad that you are such a good boy but you have demoted Huang Ba, and you only see his strength. Treasure. Who knows what he has done! Seemingly. You won't live long, my son!"
Li Mingyuan said: "Mother, where do you start with this?"
"Blind, your father has changed. He has befriended Zhao Changyong, the king of Ning. Just recruit troops and gather generals, and you want to rebel. Child, his infamy in Dongping Mansion is indescribable. I have a son named Huang Guanbao, this slave and his father are all the way, Huang Ba's adopted son does not teach, indulges in murder, relies on wealth, and bullies people, Guanbao, a slave, bullies men and women, and acts recklessly. How many times I persuaded him, he just didn't want to. Later, my mother and son were like enemies, and I didn't want this son. What happened to him? The two girls who robbed others were killed by two chivalrous heroes. I also have a nephew, Zhu Bao, who doesn't listen to me, and he's almost finished.
I can't even take care of my son, and my nephew doesn't care. Shaobao, why am I telling you this? Because it's good for my mother to see you as a child, I can't watch you fall into the tiger's mouth. I am willing to let you escape from the ground from my heart, and after I finish speaking, you will do it yourself, and it is up to you whether you listen or not. Your sister and I are not dissuading, she is still stepping on two boats now. Huang Ba, the old thief, is killing the catastrophe at hand. Why do you say this for your mother? You don't know what to say, Wow, the capital sent a person to guard Meng Ranhao on behalf of the sky, and as soon as this lord came out of the court, Zhao Changyong sent a letter to Huang Ba, saying when Meng Ranhao would arrive, and when would Huang Ba kill him. Master Meng heard that Huang Ba had done a lot of evil, and he was afraid that he would be humiliated, so he disguised himself as an old Taoist to pay a private visit.
It should also be that this adult is unlucky, and he is meeting Sun Hong. This Sun Hong turned out to be the prefect of Taiyuan, and his son was killed by Lord Meng, he was dismissed from the official and ran to the exclusive city. This kid recognized Master Meng, and Huang Ba took Master Meng to Wanghualou and wanted to burn him to death with fire. I heard that there was an accident and the master rescued the adult. Unexpectedly, Dongping Mansion was not rescued, and was captured by their gang of guys.
Zhao Changyong came to the exclusive city from the capital, Huang Ba and Zhao Changyong interrogated Lord Meng at night, beat Lord Meng to death, and threw the body into the Black Dragon Pond. It's all a good thing they did! I'm looking at it soon, it won't be long before the capital will have to send troops to fight the exclusive city, and they won't have a few days of beauty! When I saw you, child, I remembered that Huang Guanbao was here, if he listened to his mother's persuasion, how could he die? Shaobao, you just want to eat, and you shouldn't be this young prince here with the old thief. Besides, your uncle and nephew all know martial arts, so you can't mix bowls of rice anywhere! You can't stay in this exclusive city, and the rabbit's tail won't grow! Listen to my good words, don't try to eat, drink and be merry for a while, discuss with your uncle, and leave this place early! Otherwise, it will be too late to regret the disaster, I have good intentions, and it will be up to you to listen or not. ”
Huang Yuxia said: "Mother, don't say it again!"
Li Mingyuan: "Sister, tell your mother to talk about it, isn't it also happy!" Again. "Please rest assured, child, I will persuade my father to change his old man's evil and return to the right, abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Mother, by then, your old husband and wife can also be reunited. ”
"Don't persuade him, he has eaten the scales and has an iron heart! I will not see him again until I die!"
Huang Yuxia said: "Brother, let's go, it's not a small time, I'm afraid that my father will find you." ”
The old lady said, "Go away." ”
Li Mingyuan said helplessly: "Mother, I will come to see you in two days." ”
"Okay, let's go."
The brother and sister came out, and Shaobao said, "Sister, my mother is so good!"
"Blind, don't mention it, I'm a daughter, and I can't do anything about my father."
When the two came to the courtyard, Shao Bao said, "Hey, sister, didn't you say that you practice martial arts here every day?" I also practiced today, so that the little brother can also open his eyes. ”
The girl smiled: "Big brother, I was just about to ask you to practice, let me see, you asked my sister to practice." Okay, brother, you practice first, sister and I practice later. ”
The two of them came to the knife and gun stand. The girl asked, "Big brother, what kind of sword do you use?"
"Make a gun."
"Then you practice your guns and ask your sister to take a look."
"Sister, I can't."
"You're welcome, my father's eyes are bright, if you can't do it, my father won't accept you as a godson! Let's practice. ”
"My sister gives me more advice."
As he spoke, Li Mingyuan pulled out a gun from the knife and gun rack, "Sister, I'm embarrassed." "If you want to talk about marksmanship, Li Mingyuan is naturally not bad. The cavalry fought on horseback, and the gun was a very important blade. However, Li Mingyuan did not practice for the better, and deliberately threw three and four, skimmed seven and eight, and made a mess. Huang Yuxia looked at it, and the anger in her stomach was so big: my father praised him to the sky, regarded him as an incomparable hero, and said that Shaobao could keep him in the palace. Hmph, just keep this little skill, it's really a rare two or five eyes! The more the girl looked at it, the more angry she became, and shouted, "Big brother, stop practicing, stop!"
Li Mingyuan put away the gun, pretended to be very tired, and said, "Sister, give me some pointers." (To be continued......)
