He wanted to be more sure of this matter, so he asked again: "Do you remember when Yue'er left Beijing?" ”

Xie Yanzhi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I really don't remember the specifics, but if I go back to the capital to check the accounts, I should know." When she left, she bought her a lot of food and drink, and she shouted that she couldn't put it in the car, and the three of them had nowhere to sit. ”

"Does she only have a carriage?" Su Tong's heart was raised high at this time, he was excited, and he was waiting for the final hammer to fall.

Xie Yanzhi nodded: "Yes, just a carriage." A coachman, and Yue'er and the two girls. At that time, there were two people escorting them, and Yue'er didn't say who it was, and she didn't bother to ask. ”

Su Tong asked urgently: "Who else saw off that day, and what did the two escorts look like?" ”

"I also knew about Shu'er and her husband that day, but I didn't meet them, and I only knew what Yue'er said, and I don't know who saw them off later. The two escorts were tall and short, riding horses that looked like military horses. The two of them also looked like men in the army, one was tall and handsome, in his early twenties. The eyes are not very large, but they are very bright, there are old wounds on the ears, and a lobe is missing from the left ear. ”

Su Zhi had long suspected that it was someone from Su Tan's side, and at this moment, he was searching for someone with this characteristic in Suwangfu's memory. As soon as he heard that an earlobe was missing, he immediately thought of someone. That was when he and Su Tan were in the Hetao, Su Tan always brought a guard with him. This guard was also very familiar with Su Zhi, they had been on the battlefield together, and his lost earlobe, Su Zhi, was also one of the witnesses.

Isn't this person the third-class guard Chi Yu of the Su Wangfu!

Su Zhi immediately asked again: "What are the characteristics of the other person?" ”

Xie Yanzhi replied: "The other person looks younger, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a small round face and big eyes, and he looks very honest and sincere. ”

This person Su Tong was not impressed, so he didn't ask any more. When he got up to leave, Xie Yanzhi said again: "That little round-faced person seems to be called Xiao Wu, and the coachman called him at that time." ”

Su Tong turned around violently and asked in surprise, "Are you sure that person's name is Xiao Wu?" ”

Xie Yanzhi was taken aback by him, and hurriedly nodded: "Sure, because he just came to pick up the things in my hand, Yue'er also said let me give the things to Xiao Wu, I told him two words, a person with a good temperament." ”

Xiao Wu, how could Su Zhi not know this person, it's just that the little round face he just said has a pair of big eyes, and he didn't match the number. Xiao Wu was not originally round-faced, because when Su Zhi saw him, he was very thin, a little child who had not yet grown.

Xiao Wu is the fifth oldest in the family, his real surname is Chen, his name is Chen Liugen, and he is originally from Datong, Shanxi. His father died in the army, and he was a widow. His mother had given birth to four daughters before him, and he had little hope of coming to him, and his father had died. As a result, when he was born, he saw that it was a son, and the old man gave him the name Liugen, which means that his father finally left a root.

When Su Tong saw him, he was asking for food in Datong. The skinny hands and feet are like chicken paws, and a ten-year-old looks like he is six or seven years old. At that time, Su Tong asked about the situation and learned that his mother died less than a year after giving birth to him. My grandfather was too old to raise so many children, and several of his sisters were sold to the dental shop, and he didn't know where they would be sold after that. He followed his grandfather for his life, but when he was five years old, his grandfather also died, leaving him alone in the family.

The villagers helped to bury his grandfather, and at first Xiao Wu still had some savings and could afford to eat, but he couldn't plant the fields, so the landlord took the fields back.

Xiao Wu didn't keep the family property left by his grandfather, and he didn't know how to get it, and he was asleep at night when the house caught fire.

He was snatched out by the villagers, but there was nothing left in the house. At first, the villagers could still take care of him, and the family lived for a day and ate a bite, but after a long time, no one could afford to support him, so Xiao Wu went to Datong with the ox cart in the village, and asked for food there until he was ten years old.

Su Tong asked him: "I'm going to fight at the border, if you're not afraid, follow me, if you're afraid, I'll find you a family and leave some money for them to raise you." ”

The thin Xiao Wu stared at the general in front of him who was more beautiful than a woman with a pair of big eyes, and he said decisively: "Xiao Wu wants to follow the general, Xiao Wu is not afraid of hardship." ”

Su Tong touched his head: "Okay, then you can follow me from today on." ”

In Datong, he asked Ge Lin to take Xiao Wu to have a full meal, and washed him and put him on new cotton clothes. Since then, Xiao Wu has been in Su Zhi's team, and Su Zhi also deliberately wanted to see the child's temperament.

Xiao Wu is a child with perseverance, he doesn't give up if he can't keep up with the team, people camp in the dark, and he has to walk until dawn to catch up.

He didn't stop eating, and followed the team that pulled out the camp. Su Zhi looked at this thin child, couldn't bear to test him more, leaned over and scooped him onto the horse.

Xiao Wu fell asleep in Su Zhi's arms, and when the team stopped to eat, Su Zhi picked him off the horse but still held him in his arms.

Just marched all the way to the Hetao, and Xiao Wu always came over in Su Zhi's arms.

And after arriving at the Hetao, Su Tan also looked at Xiao Wu's liking tightly, this kid is very sensible and has a very good temperament. Su Tan began to teach him kung fu, and also led the horse to let him sit on the back of the horse to practice.

In this way, Su Tan became Xiao Wu's master, but Xiao Wu followed Su Tan during the day and went to Su Zhi at night. He got used to it, and so did Su Tong. Every night, there will be a small couch for Xiao Wu in Su Tong's tent, and the tea that Su Tong drinks at night is always warm, and Xiao Wu is waiting.

And when he returned to Beijing, Su Zhi made a decision, and the future Su Zhi will regret this decision for the rest of his life.

He decided to give Xiao Wu to Su Tan, because this child usually practiced martial arts or fought with Su Tan.

Xiao Wu knelt in front of Su Zhi and cried silently, but Su Tan didn't let this step, he walked over directly and said, "Old Seven, the fourth brother really likes Xiao Wu too much." Don't worry, I won't let him be wronged, and within three years, he will be the third-class guard of the Su Wangfu. ”

It's not that Su Tong can't give Xiao Wu a future, but he thinks that he is not as stable as the fourth brother, and his mind is not as careful as the fourth brother, for Xiao Wu, it is the best choice to follow the fourth brother.

In fact, these are all attached conditions, and the main reason why Su Zhi put Xiao Wu next to Su Tan is because of himself. He had half of the Qin family's blood flowing in his body, and General Qin's death was so strange. The 200,000 Qin family troops disappeared without a trace overnight, which was always a sin for the imperial power that Su Zhi had to bear.

learned from Xie Yanzhi that it was Yue'er who was escorted by Chi Yu and Xiao Wu, and now he had a goal. After Su Tong returned home, he asked Ge Lin to arrange people to go down and make every effort to find Chi Yu and Xiao Wu.
