The names of the secret guards of the six valves in the sea have their own meanings.

For example, Fengzhou Wei's "Biwu" takes the phoenix from the sycamore, and the hope that "Biwu" is the foothold of Wei's is clear at a glance.

And Shen's "thorn fence" is the meaning of thorn fence.

The Shen family, who has defended the western frontier for generations, has always compared itself to the western frontier fence.

Coupled with thorns, of course, it means that this barrier is not easy to mess with. All the aliens who bump into it, don't think about a good end!

Back then, Shen Zangli, the eldest son, was sent to Xiliang to sharpen, and Shen Xuan had infinite high hopes for him, and he was also good enough to take on the responsibilities of the Shen family at that time.

"Jijian Wei" is the representative who once made Shen Xuan proud.

The meaning of "collecting thorns" is to collect "thorns" for the "thorn fence" of the Shen family.

It was originally discovered by Shen Zangli that some highly skilled soldiers in the army could be absorbed into the "thorn fence" in terms of strength, but for various reasons, they were not suitable for entering. For example, a soldier is strong in martial arts and loyal, but he is greedy for wine and lust, and often causes trouble...... After all, the "Thorn Fence" is biased towards the nature of a dark guard, and it requires more than just strength.

And this group of people scattered in the army, although the combat power of the army has been improved, but Shen Zangli believes that if they are transferred together and set up another guard, it will be more useful.

Shen Xuan himself suffered enough from the loss of no one to support him after his parents passed away, and he wished that his son would grow up quickly, so he naturally agreed to his request without hesitation.

In fact, after the establishment of the "Jithorn Guard", it did show its ferocity and courage in the first battle, but Shen Xuan would rather not be so fierce and brave - it was in that battle that Qiu Di Lao Shan was defeated and left behind his dependents, which led to the encounter between Xin Yi and Shen Zangli.

So naturally, after Shen Xuan ordered his eldest son to be tied back to the imperial capital, he ordered the disbandment of the "Jijian Guard".

…… This dissolution is not all because of Xin Yi, but because in the matter of Xin Yi, Shen Zangli disappointed Shen Xuan, and instead cultivated Shen Zangfeng to take over Ming Peitang. In this case, the "Jithorn Guard" that Shen Zangli single-handedly established and loyal to him naturally could not continue to exist.

Otherwise, even if Shen Zangli didn't have any thoughts on his own, if these people were not convinced, it would bring Shen Zangfeng a lot of trouble.

Shen Xuan didn't want his brother to be in trouble.

However, these people are favored by Shen Zangli, and they do have their strengths. It's impossible not to use them all...... Therefore, Shen Xuan only broke them up, not deposed them forever.

The Four Cities of Xuanshui are an example.

In the four cities of Xuanshui, except for Xuanshui City, the three city guards are all from the "Gathering Thorn Guard", and there is also a reason, that is, these three people are all good at defending and not attacking.

When Shen Zangfeng arrived in Xiliang that year, he was anxious to sweep away Qiu Di and free his hands. These three people were more than enough to keep and not enough to go in, which was not very suitable for the situation at that time. But because they are Shen Zangli's henchmen, if they are dismissed without proper arrangements, I am afraid that Shen Zangli will lose face.

Out of this consideration, Shen Zangfeng transferred them to guard the three cities of Chishui, where Xuanshui City was in front, and it was the most unlikely place to be attacked, which was suitable for them. Moreover, the defenders of a city have not been demoted from their ranks, which has greatly preserved their dignity and brought into play their strengths.

But who would have thought that one day the Rong people would arrest Shen Shuming?

And Shen Zangli is dead......

The defenders of the three cities of Chishui are all extremely loyal to Shen Zangli, and with Shen Zangfeng's understanding of them, the possibility that they will open the city to meet the enemy for Shen Shuming's safety is very high.

When they were halfway through their discussion, the spies sent a more detailed military report: the Rong people who committed Xiliang this time had an army of 150,000 in the front alone, and the rear army had not yet been detected, but there were not a few people who looked at the smoke and dust.

The scale of the march made the spies suspect that the Rong people had abandoned Donghu and set out.

After ordering Shen Youjia to lead a hastily assembled army of 50,000 to Dushui City first, Shen Zangfeng personally put on his armor and summoned the whole army for battle.

In the backyard, Wei Changying sat upright and silent, with a pale face.

Shen Shuguang comforted her sensibly: "Mother, don't worry, my father broke Qiu Di in the year of his weak crown, and he killed Di Ren and has not recovered his vitality so far." Now that the Rong people are on an expedition, what are they afraid of? ”

Shen Shuxie dragged a small wooden sword and chattered beside him: "The child is also going to the battlefield!" Kid go kill the enemy! The child doesn't want to learn to read anymore! The child wants to ride a horse! Mother, mother, you promised the child! ”

"Don't make any noise!" Shen Shuguang saw Wei Changying smiling very reluctantly, obviously he was not in the mood to coax Shen Shuxie, frowned slightly, turned back and shouted softly at his younger brother.

Shen Shuxie has always been a little afraid of his brother, and he didn't dare to continue to make trouble when he was scolded at the moment, but he just waved the wooden sword and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's still good for the eldest brother to be here, willing to take me on horseback, willing to teach me to learn swords...... The second brother will murder me! ”

Wei Changying hugged him with a strong spirit, and said: "You are still young, those are not in a hurry, take your time as well, the foundation is the most important." "This second son is not in good health, but he is very active. Because of the lack of physical strength, it won't take long to play and it will lose its strength, and as soon as it loses its strength, it will heat up......

Therefore, even Shen Zangfeng hopes that he will be able to read more books in the future, and as for learning martial arts, he will talk about it when he grows up.

At this moment, the wooden sword in his hand was still Shen Shuguang's.

"The child is only two years younger than the second brother, and the second brother has learned so many things now......" Shen Shuxie was very happy to see his mother take care of himself, and pestered her more and more.

At this time, Huo Qingling came over, and when he saw this scene, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Yo, where are Guang'er and Xie'er here?" ”

"The sixth brother and sister are here? Sit down. Wei Changying hurriedly greeted her, let go of Shen Shuxie, and asked the two brothers to go down to greet Huo Qingling.

Huo Qingling smiled and touched their heads: "They have all grown taller again." ”

"Come and say hello to me every day, I can't see it." Wei Changying smiled and asked Lian Ju, "Go and make a pot of that Erui." ”

Erui is Huo Qingling's preferred tea, and Wei Changying himself has two sons, and they all drink sour plum soup at this time.

But Huo Qingling has never been able to eat sour, but today he said: "Bring me a bowl of sour plum soup too, and now I won't drink tea for the time being." ”

Wei Changying was already the mother of two sons, and was surprised when she heard this: "Sixth brother and sister, are you?" ”

Huo Qingling's face was slightly embarrassed, and he nodded a little excitedly and expectantly: "I just asked the doctor to see it, it's been a month, but I don't know men and women yet." ”

"Sour and spicy girl, do you need to talk about this?" Wei Changying subconsciously answered, and thought that Liufang still has no heirs, in case this first child is a daughter, but even his sister-in-law said that he hopes for a male heir, but the pressure on Huo Qingling is great.

Sure enough, after Huo Qingling heard this, he showed a little uncomfortable and said, "The doctor said that the days are still shallow, and he can't eat accurately." I think it's going to take a few days to find out! ”

Wei Changying hurriedly remedied: "Your first child, both men and women are good!" Quickly change the subject and complain to her, "Look at you! They are all people with bodies, and they are not in the house, but they still have to work! What's the matter, send someone to tell me, I'll go to you! ”

At this time, the sour plum soup was served, Huo Qingling took a sip, and praised: "Sure enough, the sour plum soup here is delicious, and what I do in that room is always wrong." Maybe I didn't like to drink this before, and they made it handy. ”

"I'll send you the person who made the sour plum soup in a moment!" Wei Changying said immediately.

Huo Qingling smiled: "What about Guang'er Xie'er?" ”

Shen Shuguang hurriedly said: "Now the sixth aunt is in a hurry, and the nephew is not in a hurry." ”

Shen Shuxie said with a smile: "My nephew is going to drink from Aunt Six!" He thought it would be better, and he had been changing his methods every day in the hope that there would be less time for him to go to school. Helplessly, the people sent by his father to take care of him were too harsh, and Shen Shuxie felt that if there was a reason to go to the sixth room every day, then he would have less time to study......

"I can't bully you like this!" Huo Qingling put down the porcelain bowl with a smile and said to Wei Changying, "The doctor said that I don't usually move much, which is not good for the child, so let me walk more." That's why I just came, sister-in-law, don't worry. ”

Wei Changying's tone when she heard this, it seemed that she didn't just come over to report the good news in person, so she said to Shen Shuguang: "You have already drunk the sour plum soup, it's time to go back to school?" ”

Shen Shuguang said yes, but Shen Shuxie still wanted to rely on it for a while: "Mother, the child hasn't seen Aunt Six for a long time, the child misses Aunt Six and wants to spend more time with Aunt Liu." ”

"Don't use your sixth aunt as a cover!" He thinks about this carefully, how can Wei Changying not know? His eyes widened, and he shouted, "Hurry back!" Otherwise, your father will come back and will not give you a color! ”

At the mention of his strict father, Shen Shuxie suddenly raised his mouth, and was unhappily pulled out by Shen Shuguang.

Wei Changying asked the idlers to retreat again, and then looked at Huo Qingling with concern: "What is on the mind of the sixth brother and sister?" ”

"I just sent the doctor away, and I want to send someone to tell the husband! As a result, the person sent back told me that Dao Shifu had already gone to the army. If you stay, you may not come back for two days......" Huo Qingling bit his lip lightly and said, "I don't mean to say anything, but I'm a little worried in my heart...... Thinking of coming over and talking to your sister-in-law, maybe I can fix the spot. ”

She felt a little embarrassed, "I don't want Guang'er and Xie'er to be here and disturb you." ”

"When can't we see each other? What a bother. Wei Changying actually had a string in her heart, but her brother-in-law came to ask for comfort, and she just knew that she was pregnant, so she could only make a calm appearance to relieve her with kind words, "Something happened in Xuanshui City, and you probably heard about it." Don't worry too much, you know what Xiliang has been like in the past two years, the most peaceful and contented place in the world is ours here, not to mention that there are three cities such as Chishui after Xuanshui City, which are all open by one man. The sixth brother went to live in the army temporarily, but the husband wanted to sharpen him......"

His voice was low, "You also know that the sixth brother is young, and when he was in the imperial capital before, he was ...... It's a bit of nonsense. I won't hide it from you, when he and his fifth brother went to Xiliang for the first time earlier, they were also wandering everywhere, and they were not in shape. The husband just wants him to be calm. He may not be able to return to the expedition! Even if he goes on an expedition, he must be in the tent of the Chinese army, and there is a large army guarding him, how can he be in any danger? ”
