"It's all gossip caused by the eldest brother's adoption of Wei Xiang's son. People talk all sorts of nonsense and slander Big Brother. Big brother, according to me, this thing is a moth made by Wei Xiang's bastard. Over the years, he has been jealous of his eldest brother, and he can't compare to his eldest brother in terms of ability, so he plays tricks. ”

"Zhang Xing, I have treated you as a brother all these years. Whether it's me or Wei Xiang, they are all people who depend on the existence of the Jiedu. The contradictions between us are irreconcilable. But my brother doesn't want to involve you in our rivalry, after all, you have a wife and children at home. Xue Shang reminded him vaguely.

Brother Xue was testing my attitude, Zhang Xing moved his body to stand up, and gave a deep salute, "Big brother, the younger brother only recognizes the eldest brother, and the eldest brother's business is the younger brother's business." Without the eldest brother, there would be no younger brother today. The common people also know about the Grace Story. Not to mention you and me, brothers in life and death. The eldest brother, the younger brother will follow the eldest brother all his life. ”

Xue Shang got up and the hands of the brothers clasped each other tightly, "Big brother, don't give up." ”

"Brother, share weal and woe. Brothers work together to break the gold, let us fight a world with two fists and four hands, so that our children are no longer children of the poor. ”

The two brothers burst into tears, then hugged each other and laughed. Meng Wenliang and Shen Xuecai came back and shouted outside the tent, "We are fully loaded." ”

As he said this, the two opened the curtain and came in, Xue Shang and Zhang Xing hugged each other and turned their heads to look at them.

The two of them shrank their heads at the same time and retreated, Xue Shang let go of Zhang Xing, came over and opened the curtain, "Set the table here." ”

Meng Wenliang beckoned the guards to bring up the dishes. The four of them sat down around, "You don't need to serve here, you just have to have a good time, but you don't get drunk." ”

The guard Nuo Nuo continued to speak and went down to eat by himself.

Xue Shang: "Brother Meng, Brother Shen, I want to worship Zhang Xing as brothers, please be a witness." ”

Zhang Xing's eyes moistened: "Big brother." ”

Xue Shang took the incense case, poured two bowls of wine, Zhang Xing took out a dagger and cut his finger, and Xue Shang also cut his finger.

The two burned incense and prayed, "I, Xue Shang, was born in Zhang Xing as a brother, and I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year and month." ”

"Huang Tian is above, I, Zhang Xing and Xue Shang, are brothers, sharing joys and sorrows, and life and death are of the same heart."

The two swore a blood oath. With tears in their eyes, they held each other's hands, "Big brother." "Brother."

Meng Wenliang turned around, and his clothes were already wet with tears. Shen Xuecai walked out of the tent quickly.

The scene in front of them made the two feel emotional, thinking that they and King An were nominally master and servant, but in fact they were like brothers.

King An took them away, financed their money, and saved their lives. King Ann rests underground.

Xue Shang helped Zhang Xing sit down, turned around and greeted Meng Wenliang, "Brother Meng, happy today, let's have a few drinks." ”

Meng Wenliang raised his hand to wipe his tears and came over with a smile. "Brother Shen?" Xue Shang said and went out to call Shen Xuecai.

Shen Xuecai squatted outside the tent with his head in his hands, "Brother Shen." Xue Shang pushed him.

"Well, you go in first." Shen Xuecai said in a muffled voice.

He and Zhang Xing bowed, and his eyes were full of tears. Xue Shang knew that the two of them had a background, but he didn't know what the origin was? It seems that there are two people with a story.

Xue Shang went in first, and then Shen Xuecai came in with red eyes.

Xue Shang: "Our brothers came out with their bare hands and supported each other to get to where we are today. We vowed to change our fate, and now that Brother Meng and Brother Shen have joined, we are more confident that we can change our fate. ”

Meng Wenliang: "Our brothers are also people who attach importance to friendship, just now we saw the deep brotherhood between the two of you, we are very moved, we are willing to help the two virtuous brothers realize their dreams." ”

Xue Shang was overjoyed, "Eat the vegetables first, and drink the wine, otherwise you won't be able to suppress the wine." ”

Meng and Shen went to the street for a long time, and they also heard Xue Shang's slanderous remarks.

Xue Shang has an extraordinary appearance and outstanding ability, and Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind. The two of them felt very unhappy for Xue Shang.

"Our two brothers can be favored by the soldiers, and the soldiers will die as confidants. We are willing to create brilliance with the soldiers and horses and Zhang Xiandi. ”

The four of them drank the wine in their bowls. Xue Shangcheng said sincerely: "If you and I want to create brilliance, in addition to striving for greater power, we must also have financial support. Money and power go hand in hand. Brother Meng, Brother Shen, I don't treat you as outsiders, so I'll tell you the truth. ”

Meng Wenliang said with a smile: "General Xue, you are guarding the golden bowl and asking for food." You're close to the water, needless to say anything else, it's our 3,000 armored soldiers in the barracks, and we need horses, right? To buy a war horse, you can come forward to contact, which horse dealer has this big business, it is not interesting. As long as you think about it, there are many channels for money. Your father-in-law is in charge of the military and civil affairs. ”

Xue Shang got up and saluted Meng Wenliang, "What Brother Meng said made me stunned. I have devoted myself to making a name for myself in the military merits, and now it seems that if I had not led the troops to fight in wars, and relied on military merits for promotion in peacetime, my official position would not have been too prominent. I also hope that Brother Meng will speak out, and Xue Shang is willing to hear the details. ”

Xue Shang has the ambition to expand his power, but fortunately, God has eyes and sends Meng Wenliang and Shen Xuecai to him.

Xia Yu settled in Southwest Town, set up a quiet courtyard, and recruited a few subordinates. Advertisements were posted everywhere under his command, and the sign of Firefly Pavilion gradually opened up in the southwest.

Shan Guangtai was entrusted by Jiang Yao to take care of the business of Firefly Pavilion. After he returned from Chang'an, the first thing he did was to visit Xia Yu.

Shan Guangtai used his family's power to build momentum for Xia Yu. Over time, Shan Guangtai has almost become an indispensable core figure in the Firefly Pavilion.

Xue Shang has the heart to buy a war horse, and then he can get a piece of the pie. At night, he went directly to his father-in-law's house from the barracks, without changing his armor, and first reported his recent whereabouts to the Jiedu envoy.

Half a month spent eating and living with the soldiers, and the radiant Xue Shang brought a little vicissitudes. General Li was very distressed to see his uncle so dedicated. He is also a person who leads troops, knows that it is not easy to lead troops, and knows how great the responsibility of leading soldiers is.

"Father, the reason why the child has stayed in the barracks until now is really a last resort. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the child just wanted to appease the soldiers, but he didn't expect Zhang Xing to be late for no reason, and the child was angry for a while, and blamed Zhang Xing with the twenty boards. The military camp of 3,000 people, and it is a team that we treat as elite soldiers. It is impossible for children to develop the habit of being loose from the beginning. So stick to the barracks until now. Today, the children give the soldiers a day off, and go home to fulfill their filial piety in front of their parents. ”

Xue Shang first went to his father-in-law to explain his reasoning, so as not to make trouble for no reason when he saw his mother-in-law later.

"Everything Shang'er did, his father saw it. Father understands you. is also a man, and he is an aspiring man, taking care of his family and giving up his small family, this is a last resort. ”

"Feng Jiao likes children, now that she has Jiao'er under her knees, Xue Shang respects Feng Jiao's choice, as long as Feng Jiao is happy, I will be happy." Xue Shang expressed his attitude towards his father-in-law.
