There was a discussion here, and someone from outside ran in.

"Tell your lord, the army outside the city has sent a man to the gate of the city. It is said that I want to see an adult, and there is an important situation. ”

"Did he say who it was?"

"I didn't say it, but the military uniform I was wearing was yellow, which was different from the last time I wore red. It is estimated that he is from Gangneung Province, and he speaks kindly. ”

"Gangneung's?" The young master of the Zhou family stood up all of a sudden, and looked at Manager Wang.

"Little master, don't panic, after all, our Xiangnan City is under the jurisdiction of Jiangling Mansion, and it is normal for them to come. I just don't understand, where did they get so many troops? ”

"Let's see you, sir, and see what happens."

"Okay, bring the messenger in, be polite. Be careful only to let messengers in, and be prepared in the city," said the king.

A tall warrior in a yellow uniform and armed with a machete was respectfully invited in. Young Master Zhou and Chief Manager Wang also politely came to the door of the hall to greet him, and Chief Manager Wang took the lead and saluted at present: "In Xia Xiangnan, the chief manager Wang Hui, this is the young master of our Zhou family." We're polite to adults here, but I don't know where they come from? What's the point? ”

"Hehe, the manager is too impatient. Don't be surprised, I think it's better to ask the adults to sit down and drink a glass of water first," the young master of the Zhou family hurriedly said.

"No need, I'm short on time, my general is still waiting for me to reply" The person who came arched his hand and said neatly: "My general is the master's personal guard general, Wei Qingsong Wei, he ordered me to pass on the message to you." ”

"General Wei? Alas, it's General Wei's people. We're saved. Mr. Wang smiled all over his face.

"Three days ago, General Wei personally led a large army to capture the robber Zhongshan at the junction of Xiangnan, Changzhou and Xingshan. All of Zhongshan's 30,000 troops surrendered, and the slaves who robbed you were among them. General Wei brought a small number of troops to Xiangnan City, and your looted slaves and supplies arrived later. The general issued an order, so that you don't have to worry about the robbers coming again, and we will protect Xiangnan City without fail. ”

The messenger's words were undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue to the Zhou family, completely different from the information they had received, and they couldn't believe it.

"Capture the robber Zhong Shan alive? Zhongshan surrendered? The king would murmur to himself, "Impossible, how is it possible?" ”

"What's impossible, General Wei's horse has arrived, I'm still waiting for you to reply?" The messenger interrupted him impatiently.

"Don't be angry, messenger, I can't turn around a big thing. A few days ago, Zhong Shan and more than 30,000 elite troops were still showing off their might in Xiangnan City, bullying and humiliating us, taking my slaves and robbing my property. I can't believe that he's done today, and it's changed too fast. ”

"What's there to believe? When you see the general, you will believe everything, and you don't know the general, I can still deceive you? Prepare to welcome the general into the city. If you neglect Master Wei, I won't be able to talk about it later. ”

"Alright, I would like to ask the messenger to return to the General. We are waiting for the general to come to Xiangnan City. The young master of the Zhou family hurriedly expressed his position.

At noon, Wei Qingsong rushed to the city of Xiangnan, and Chief Manager Wang was already at the gate of the city to greet him. Seeing Wei Qingsong striding over, Wang Hui's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly nodded to his subordinates, and then trotted up to meet him, and the city gate immediately began to open.

"The villain Xiangnan Governor Wang will knock on General Wei, the robbers have been frightened recently, and they are late to greet him, so please punish the general."

"Oh, it's Mr. Wang. A few days ago, robbers were rampant, which frightened everyone in Xiangnan. Fortunately, the general lived up to the master's trust, captured the leader of the bandits in one fell swoop, and the whole army of robbers surrendered. Mr. Wang doesn't have to worry about it, everyone should do what they should do. ”

"Thank you, General, you are really our protector, and we are looking forward to your coming. The little master of my family has come out to invite the general into the city. ”

"Okay, Shi Kang, order the whole army to enter the city, and immediately lay out the defense of Xiangnan City, there must be no mistakes."

"Yes, General," Shi Dang turned and ran away, and with a wave of his hand, the warriors marched into the city with their heads held high. At this moment, everyone understood that Xiangnan was still Xiangnan of the Master's Mansion.

The young master of the Zhou family respectfully accompanied Wei Qingsong and his party to the city, and the chief manager Wang quietly slowed down his pace and slipped aside, and whispered to a crony beside him: "Tell the young master on Tuesday to bring a few caring and capable people, and go out of the city immediately, be sure to stop the golden tiger and them on the way, and not leave a single person alive." It's a head-scratching thing, so be careful. ”

Wei Qingsong did not directly enter the City Lord's Mansion, but climbed the city wall and looked around for defense. According to his command, Shi Kang increased his manpower in various important positions and rearranged the commanders of the defense. Then the group came to the City Lord's Mansion, and Shi Kang's 1,000 personal guards had already controlled the inside and outside of the mansion.

The young master of the Zhou family couldn't help but sweat profusely, and after respectfully inviting Wei Qingsong to sit on the main seat, he couldn't help but ask: "General, our Xiangnan led the Zhou family to be hit hard in the southern expedition, and my father and brother all sacrificed their lives on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country together with the lord of Zhang's mansion." We are the only ones left, who have been bullied by outsiders recently, and we ask the master and the general to be our masters! ”

"General Ben was also in the army during the southern expedition, and I followed the young master to witness the tragic situation on both sides of the Qingshui River. The battle of Qingshuihe was very tragic, and our master's mansion and the whole family lost the main force, even now I shudder when I think about it. ”

"I also ask the general to be sympathetic to the current situation of my family, my father and brother passed away at the same time, and there is no one in charge of the family. The world is very difficult now, and only with the care of the great general, we can tide over it. ”

"Now we are all getting through the difficulties, and we can only work together and help each other. The young master was newly promoted to the master of the protector of the country, and he personally led the Jiangling Mansion. It's not that I'm talking about you, at such a critical moment, you should go to Gangneung Mansion to meet the master. For Yu Gong, the master is your top boss, the master is the master, and you are the subordinate. Privately, the master is the nephew of General Rulong, and he is also the old master of your Zhou family. It's easy to say anything about public and private, but why hasn't there been any movement? Xiao Zhou, you are young and ignorant, but you old housekeepers don't remind you, I don't know how you behaved? In the face of big things, I can't be confused. ”

"The lesson of the great general is that it is the minions who have failed in their duties. We are just worried about the robbers, and we think about how to defend ourselves every day. actually forgot the righteousness of the master and servant, and the slave prepared for the little master to go to Jiangling Mansion to meet the master. It's all the fault of the minions, please punish the minions, and "the king of the governor will kneel on the ground tremblingly, and stumble on the ground with his head."

"The master is benevolent, young and promising, and has an extraordinary bearing, which is not something that ordinary people like you and me can measure. Cheung Chau City has suffered greater losses than you, its talents have withered, and it has been looted by robbers. The master took great care of these places, and paid special attention to the remaining young talents in each field. The master not only ordered me and General Manager Lin to lead the army to help the Qin family defeat the robbers, but also personally promised to reuse Qin Hao. This time, the commander appointed by the master is not me, but Qin Hao, you should understand what this means. ”

"Understood, understood. In such a situation, the master really sympathizes with us. ”

"The Qin family just went to Jiangling to see the master early, and showed their loyalty to the new master. I don't know what your Zhou family is thinking? If you want to visit the master, don't worry, Shi Dang is the master's personal guard, and he will protect Xiangnan. ”

"We're going right away, we're going right away. Our Zhou family is loyal to the master, and is willing to go to the soup for the master, and also ask the general to speak well in front of the master. ”

"General Ben can say something in front of the master, I also know your father, and I have some friendship in the past. But if you wait and see if you don't move forward, I'm afraid no one will be able to say anything, and whether it's a blessing or a curse is all up to you. ”
