Unexpectedly, Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng behaved very calmly in front of glory, and there was no arrogant look at all, which made Xie Zhenguo surprised, but he still repeatedly told the two not to underestimate the enemy, because the Thundering Prince they faced had been dealing with them for many years, and they had always been victorious and defeated, and for so many years, their side has been on the defensive, passively responding, it can be seen that the other party is not a general, Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng admire their father-in-law very much, he has always been the idol and goal of his heart, knowing his father-in-law's ability and ability, even he can't defeat Prince Thundering, the two of them must be extremely careful, for Xie Zhenguo's words, both of them thought so.

In the next six months, the battle was still half of the victory, but Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng quickly matured in the battle, and the strategy and tactics were greatly improved, Xie Zhenguo also paid more and more attention to the two, after discussing with the supervising army and reporting to the king for approval, Xie Zhenguo merged the brigade of Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng into an independent brigade, with a strength of 40,000 people, that is, the strength of an army, but the number was an independent brigade, which was jointly commanded by Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng.

Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng didn't expect that they could be promoted to army commander so soon, although it was the number of the brigade commander, but it was the strength of an army, which was a great honor, but they knew that the reason why they were able to rise so fast was completely due to their father-in-law. It will definitely affect the father-in-law.

The war has entered a stalemate, and both the Anyun Kingdom and the Miyun Kingdom have exhausted their national strength for this war. But both the offense and the defense are evenly matched, especially after a year. After the death of the old king of Anyun Kingdom, the new king took office, and felt that there was no need to fight this war at all, although Prince Thundering repeatedly begged the king to let him continue to lead troops to attack Miyun Kingdom, but the new king still decided to stop this meaningless war, replaced Prince Thundering, and sent another general to the border, which is exactly what the two countries wanted. It was also the common wish of the two peoples, and after a short period of negotiations, the two countries finally reached an agreement to stop the war and restore peace on the border.

This is a piece of news that makes Xie Zhenguo extremely excited, after years of perseverance, the bitterness has finally come to an end, and the two sides have stopped fighting, which is worth celebrating, and I believe that it will not be long before I can return to Yundu to meet my wife and children.

Sure enough, as Xie Zhenguo expected. The king issued a decree to order Xie Zhenguo's father and son to return to Beijing, and in order to reward these soldiers who have guarded the border for many years, the king decided to reward them. It is an incomparable honor to confer Xie Zhenguo as the Duke of Zhenguo and authorize Xie Zhenguo to reward meritorious soldiers on behalf of the king. All the generals were rewarded one by one, but Xie Zhenguo did not reward Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng again. He believes that although the two are already brigade commanders of independent brigades, they are actually army commanders. There is no need to reward again, otherwise, it will cause the two of them to be arrogant.

Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng's fame and fortune are not very serious, after Xie Zhenguo's explanation, they no longer feel any favoritism, but their subordinate soldiers feel a little unfair, but their brigade commander did not say anything, and the others only felt a little unfair in private.

After doing all this, Xie Zhenguo, in accordance with the king's will, let Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng continue to stay at the border pass, and he went back to Yundu to meet the king first.

Time flies, and another seven or eight years have passed inadvertently, and the son in the family should be eight years old, I don't know how tall and old he is, thinking of this, Xie Zhenguo can't help but have mixed feelings.

After Xie Zhenguo met the king, he got the king's permission to let him stay at home for some time, in fact, the king Wu Zhujun and Xie Zhenguo had a very good personal relationship, so many years of relationship between the monarch and the minister, and Xie Zhenguo was extremely appreciated by Wu Zhujun when he bravely saved the king, at that time the two were of the same age, so they were also more compatible, and Xie Zhenguo worked hard, for such a confidant and beloved general, of course, the king was very pity, rewarded a lot of property, not to mention, but also specially granted Xie Zhenguo privileges, so that he could enter the palace at any time, without the need to be passed on, for a time Zhenguo Gong became a hot figure。

Since he has been so valued by His Majesty the King, of course, the courtyard of Zhenguo Gong has become lively, and the flow of people visiting is like pedestrians on the street, and the flow is endless, Xie Zhenguo has been fighting for many years, where has he seen this kind of battle, there is no way to close the door and thank the guests, and block all the people who visit from the door.

He and his wife, Wen Yuni, had to hide in the house all day, which upset him, and until now, he had not seen his son.

Xie Tianzong is eight years old this year, according to his age, he has already studied in a noble school, Xie Zhenguo originally went to visit, but he found that he had fallen into a heavy siege, and it was impossible to get out of the house at all, because those people who visited outside were like carp crossing the river, waiting outside the door, these people are like this, if you want to have a friendship with Xie Zhenguo, the more you refuse to meet, the more these people are stalked, because they know that as long as Xie Zhenguo is willing to meet him, then the matter will be half, of course, the more rare it is, the greater the chance of success, so these days, the number of people in front of Xie Zhenguo's door not only did not decrease because he refused to meet, but more and more.

This situation annoyed Xie Zhenguo, and he even had to sneak in and out of his own house, but there was no way, in order to see his son, he had to sneak out of the house, what he didn't expect was that there were people waiting at the aristocratic school, and if he wanted to see his son, I am afraid it was impossible.

Xie Zhenguo's embarrassment, King Wu Zhujun has received a report from someone, of course he wants to relieve his henchmen, so he ordered someone to invite Xie Zhenguo and his wife to the palace for a banquet, the whole banquet is very simple, there are only four people, King Wu Zhujun and his queen, and Xie Zhenguo and his wife.

"Your Majesty, the minister's door is now surrounded by people, if it continues like this. There will definitely be no food and water, please call the shots!" Xie Zhenguo said half-jokingly at the banquet.

"No, it won't. Who will besiege you Zhenguogong, you are a great general. Are you still afraid of being besieged by others?" Wu Zhujun also said jokingly, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is so easy-going, and their relationship can be seen in general.

"It's been four days since the minister went home, and he only sneaked out of the house yesterday, originally to see his son who hadn't seen him for eight years, but he didn't expect that even the school was guarded, and the minister couldn't get in at all. Xie Zhenguo already knew that the king must have understood his suffering, so he complained to the king about his suffering.

"Hahaha! Zhen Guogong, you're still good at fighting. But for this person, there are some laymen, I give you such glory, of course there will be people who make friends with you, you reject people thousands of miles away, but there is something wrong, if you continue like this, you will really fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness, you should pay attention to this!"

"Your Majesty is right, the minister is from the army. Growing up in the barracks, he was used to acting on orders, but when he came back, he was really at a loss for these etiquettes. Please make it clear to Your Majesty!"

"It's very simple, you just put all these people in the house!"

"Your Majesty, you don't know. These people all carry valuable gifts, how dare the ministers accept them. Are they not endangered in injustice, which is against the law of the land? How are the ministers going to see them?"

"Well, that's a problem, let's do it, I'll give you a good idea, you go to the largest restaurant in Yundu tomorrow to set up a hundred tables of wine banquet, and let all these people go there to meet you, but first of all, you must make it clear that you can't bring any gifts, otherwise, you won't be allowed to go in, what do you think?"

"Hundreds of tables of wine banquets! Your Majesty, how much does that cost! You don't know that my little money to support my family is still a problem!"

"Zhenguo Gong, you want to blackmail me, then okay, how about I give you these wine money?" Wu Zhujun just values Xie Zhenguo, he is relatively honest and honest, and he is not like ordinary Wenchen who has as many fancy intestines, and everything goes around in circles to fool him.

"Thank you Your Majesty for this, but I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, I want to go see my son tomorrow, after all, I've not even seen what my son looks like for so many years, hey, I'm really ashamed of being a father to their mother and son!" Xie Zhenguo was a little annoyed when he thought of this, what is this called, his son can't see it, it's really worrying.

"That's it, okay, then it's set the day after tomorrow, I'm a good person to the end, tomorrow I'll accompany you to a noble school, so that you can meet your son, otherwise, you're going to scold me!" Wu Zhujun fully understands Xie Zhenguo's hardships, Xie Zhenguo is a person born in the army, has a straightforward temperament, and it is impossible to adapt to the red tape in society in a hurry.

"This ...... How can the minister afford it!" After Xie Zhenguo heard this, he immediately left the table and knelt on the ground, and said in a panic, this toss made Wen Yuni, who was about to talk happily with the queen, also at a loss and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Hey, look, look, this is a complete mess of the atmosphere, hurry up, hurry up!" Wu Zhujun hurriedly left the table to help Xie Zhenguo, and the queen also hurriedly helped Wen Yuni, who was at a loss.

"This matter has been decided, anyway, I really want to inspect the aristocratic school, so you can go with me. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Xie Zhenguo wanted to kneel and worship again, but Wu Zhujun hurriedly helped him up.

"Okay, okay, didn't I say it, you don't need to be a monarch tonight, it's purely a personal relationship, not about state affairs. You don't have to worry, tonight, you and your wife will sleep in the palace, I have ordered someone to go to your mansion, tell the second elder of the family, you can rest in peace in the house, tomorrow morning after the morning, I and you and you will go to the noble school, and the queen will also go with me. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. Xie Zhenguo and his wife hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked them heartily.

"Hey, why are you so polite, I think that you risked your life to save my life back then, speaking of which, I should thank you well. Here, have a drink with me. ”

"Your Majesty, the two of you will talk slowly, and the concubine and Sister Yuni will retire first. Seeing that the two of them were happy, the queen pulled Wen Yuni out of the table.

"Alright then, you two will go first. Wu Zhujun waved his hand.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Sister Yuni and the concubine have recognized sisters, and they will sleep with the concubine tonight, I don't know if the prince of Zhenguo can have any objections. "The queen is not a foolish person, she knows that Xie Zhenguo is now a hot figure around the king, and she confesses to his wife. Definitely not a bad thing.

"Alright, well. Tomorrow I will make you the princess, lest the queen say that I am a child. ”

"Your Majesty. This...... Yuni didn't thank Your Majesty quickly, this is the highest honor. Xie Zhenguo hurriedly said.

"Hey, it's free, it's free!" The queen grabbed Wen Yuni, who was about to bend her knees, and then said to Wu Zhujun and Xie Zhenguo: "Your Majesty, the concubine will leave first, please enjoy Your Majesty and Zhenguogong." ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go!"

"Hey. Zhenguo Gong, after a long absence, you don't blame me, this is the queen's idea, don't blame me, I don't know if it delayed your good deeds!"

"Your Majesty, our husband and wife are also old husbands and wives. What a delay in a good thing!"

"Hahaha, old husband and wife! As far as I know, over the years, the two of you have always been less together and more separated. I don't think the two of you will be together for more than a month, and I'm ashamed to say that you have been wronged. I'm to blame for that. ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and the husband has something to do. If you don't do something, how can you ignore the country for the sake of your children's private feelings? Besides, it is the duty of a minister to guard the border and defend the country, so how can he say that he is wronged. ”

"Yes, it's my gaffe, it's my gaffe, we won't get drunk tonight, since your wife sleeps with the queen, then why don't you sleep with me, don't say anything, come! ”

"Okay, thank you Your Majesty for your grace! Come, do it!" Xie Zhenguo also had some drunkenness, and the arrogance of the soldiers was also stimulated, so he toasted to the king again and again.

The two of them drank about the same amount of wine, and finally the two of them were drunk on the table almost at the same time, and the guards saw this, so they helped the two back to the king's bedroom, because the king had just said that he wanted the prince of Zhenguo to sleep with him, how dare the guards disobey his orders, and a person like the prince of Zhenguo, who is valued by the king, is the first time in so many years that the guards are all shrewd people, how dare they have not served them thoughtfully!

Things went very smoothly, Xie Zhenguo not only met his son Xie Tianzong, but also feasted those who wanted to see him, easing some relations in society, of course, all of this was arranged by King Wu Zhujun, Wu Zhujun's weight made Xie Zhenguo very moved, and swore allegiance to the king.

All this went so smoothly, Xie Zhenguo's family was deeply blessed with the emperor's grace, and his reputation rose rapidly, and he became a big celebrity envied by everyone in Miyun Country, but God still made a huge joke with Xie Zhenguo, this thing did not happen to Xie Zhenguo, but to Xie Tianzong.

When Xie Tianzong accompanied King Wu Zhujun to inspect the aristocratic school in Xie Zhenguo, there was a king's personal intercession, which was a big face, and where did the school not agree, so Xie Tianzong was specially given a few days off to let his father and son get together to enjoy the joy of family.

I didn't expect things to come out of this, Xie Tianzong is extremely intelligent, and his grades in school are also quite excellent, of course, with his family background, the school does not dare to slack off, and sent the best teacher to teach him, Tianzong does not live up to the school's expectations, his grades and cultivation have improved extremely quickly, and others in the school call him a prodigy, Xie Zhenguo is also quite satisfied, according to Wu Zhujun's meaning, at that time, Xie Tianzong was going to be given a hereditary position such as a marquis, but Xie Zhenguo politely refused, because the honor given to him by the king is too much, not to mention that the child is still young, and he has not made an inch, and he is not exempt from it, and this will not be conducive to the growth of the child, Wu Zhujun saw Xie Zhenguo's resignation, so he had no choice but to give up.

Eight years apart, father and son finally met, and it was so sudden, Xie Tianzong since he was sensible, he had only heard about his father's heroic deeds from his mother and grandparents, and knew that his father was a big hero, but he had never seen it, but today he saw his father so suddenly, he didn't know how to say it for a while, and for a while the father and son looked at each other, speechless and choked.

It was Wen Yuni who broke the embarrassing silence, pulled the father and son together, and said to Tianzong: "Tianzong, call your father, he is the father you often think about, usually you shout to see him, why don't you dare to speak after seeing him today!"

"Daddy!" cried out timidly.

"Hey, good boy, I really want to be a father, alas, time flies, it's been eight years in a blink of an eye, I didn't expect you to grow so big, I think when I just left, you were just born for three days!" Xie Zhenguo couldn't help but hug Xie Tianzong with mixed feelings and said affectionately.

"Okay, okay, you father and son, this is not your home, you better go back first!" Wu Zhujun was also a little moved to see this situation, knowing that they didn't see more father and son, there must be endless words, there was no place and time for them to talk about their father and son in the school, so they asked the guards to send Xie Zhenguo and his wife back to the mansion first, and he stayed in the school with the queen to socialize, the queen saw that Tianzong was so well-behaved and cute, of course, it was also appropriate to recognize Tianzong as a godson, Wu Zhujun was also happy to be a ready-made godfather when he saw this, so he accepted Tianzong as a righteous son in front of everyone, although the king was requested by Xie Zhenguo, and did not give Tianzong an official position and title, but only by virtue of His Majesty's righteous son, it has made everyone enviousSince he has won the favor of His Majesty the King, the title must be a matter of time, and since he is the godson of the king and queen, the reward is of course even more important.

Xie Zhenguo retired with great gratitude, and returned to the mansion with his wife and children under the escort of the royal guards, the father and son, plus Xie Zhenguo's parents, the five of them chatted for half a night, if it weren't for the entertainment set by the king the next day, Xie Zhenguo really wanted to stay up all night and talk about it with his family.

The next day was the time for the banquet arranged by the king, and Xie Zhenguo knew that Wen Yuni definitely didn't want to go to this kind of scene, and he was not reluctant, so he went alone, leaving Wen Yuni and Xie Tianzong in the mansion.

Tianzong was in a very happy mood, he didn't expect his father to be so majestic, even His Majesty the King personally accompanied him to see him, and the king and queen also accepted him as a righteous son, which was a great honor, especially Xie Zhenguo's promise to teach him his family inheritance of Moyun marksmanship and cloud blasting fighting spirit made him even more happy. Although grandpa can also do this kind of kung fu, but there are always some deficiencies, and Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng have also taught him, but they are not proficient, especially these three people often say that their father has cultivated Moyun marksmanship and explosive cloud fighting qi to the realm of perfection, if you can get his personal guidance, it will be a great benefit.

After all, Tianzong is an eight-year-old child, childlike heart, after practicing a morning's kung fu, he deserted, playing around in the house alone, there are no other children in the house, Tianzong has no playmates, and this mansion is given by the king himself, and it didn't take long to build it, the most important thing is that Tianzong was sent to the aristocratic school since he was a child, and he didn't have much time to come back.

Inadvertently, Tianzong came to his grandfather's room, he wanted to play with him, but unfortunately he was not at home, Tianzong saw that there was no one in the room, so he began to churn around, making a big fuss in the sky, grandpa's things in the house were unlucky, all of them were displaced, but, even so, grandpa will not blame him, he is a single lineage of the Xie family, grandparents and grandparents usually love him very much, and only these two elders, often go to school to see him, although the mother is against the two elders, but the two of them are elders, and they have to accommodate the two, so Tianzong has a very deep affection for grandparents。

Tianzhong was bored and climbed to the bookcase, threw all the books to the ground, inadvertently, saw a grid in the bookcase, there was a bronze bird seemed to be inlaid on it, so he played curiously, did not want to press hard, the bookcase suddenly came to a big flip, the Tianzong to a secret room, like Tianzong such a big family, there are one or two secret rooms in the house is nothing, however, this secret room is more strange, because there are no secret items here, but an ancestral hall, the light in the secret room is not dim, a few thumb-thick luminous stones illuminate the whole secret room。

Tianzong also saw it at a glance, it was the ancestors of his Xie family, although Tianzong was not very sensible, but he still knew that this was his ancestor, and the general ancestral hall was in the backyard, but why did the ancestral hall in his own family be placed in this secret room, it was really strange. (To be continued......)
