Chapter XII
Outside the gate of Xufu, there are now many people from the rivers and lakes gathering, all in order to obtain a sword forged in Xufu.
It's not because the sword of this Xu Mansion is much better than elsewhere, it's just because the Xu family has a close relationship with this Long Yuan. Since this Song Renchu returned to Longyuan, he praised the hospitality of this Xu family master. For a while, everyone understood that this Long Yuan had such a delicate relationship with this Xu Mansion.
Everyone also wanted to have a good relationship with this Xu Mansion, so that they could also get some benefits from Long Yuan in the future, but there were also many people who really wanted to get the Xu family's sword.
Since the seclusion of these three sword-casting families, there have been six sword-casting families on the rivers and lakes, among which the Xu family, known as the little Xu family, is the Xu family of this Xu Fang. Therefore, with this gold-lettered signboard, there are many people who want to get this Xufu sword.
In the past, this was either false or false. This Xu Fang always wants to invite the visitor to eat a cup of tea, but today Xu Fang went out early and told the housekeeper not to see the comer.
Kenshin didn't see his father after he got up, so he asked his subordinates, "Where did Daddy go today?"
The subordinate bowed his head and replied: "Young master, today the lord said that the county guard of Fengyang City summoned the famous people from various towns and villages to discuss the matter, saying that something important had happened. ”
Kenshin jaw.
After a while, after breakfast, dressed neatly, and saying hello to my mother, I ran outside.
I saw three groups of people gathered outside the gate of the Xu Mansion, and these people rushed to the Xu Mansion when they saw someone coming out. Seeing that it was a child, it was inevitable that he was a little disappointed, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he returned to the same place and waited.
This scared Kenshin a lot. Secretly thought: How can there still be people squatting here every day after this Longyuan Immortal is gone?
But he didn't care so much, and ran to the place agreed with his friends on his own.
Walking through this drunken immortal residence, because it was not yet noon, it was empty, and Xiao Er was still dozing off on the side.
Kenshin didn't bother, only smiled, and secretly thought: If Uncle Hu knew, this kid would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Exhaled, and ran towards Fengyang Bridge, where Chubby and Yue'er were already waiting. Companions, and Xiao Hei!
This little fat is really fat, except for the height, the body size is twice the size of Kenshin, and the appearance looks as big as Kenshin. The little eyes narrowed into a slit, and I don't know whether they were closed or opened, and the flesh on my face kept shaking when I laughed, which was quite funny.
When Xiao Hei saw Kenshin coming, he immediately limped behind Yue'er, and his mouth kept moaning, as if he was extremely afraid of Kenshin.
Xiaopang said dissatisfiedly: "Kenshin, why are you so late, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Kenshin was a little embarrassed, pursed his lips and said, "It's late, it's late." I'm sorry. ”
Seeing Kenshin's apology, Fat didn't say much, and continued: "Today, I got a great news from my father!
Yue'er didn't care what he was talking about from beginning to end, and her attention was always on Kenshin.
Kenshin said straightly: "Say it quickly." ”
Chubby shook his head and smiled, "Guess!"
Kenshin touched his chin and shook his head to show that he didn't know.
Chubby smiled again and said, "Do you have to promise, I told you that you don't tell others, I'll tell you!"
Jian Xin said a little impatiently: "Fatty, if you like to talk about it, I don't want to listen to it, master!
Chubby still smiled: "Guess again!"
"Yue'er, let's go!Let him guess here alone!" Kenshin ignored it completely.
Yue'er sighed, and really followed behind Kenshin and followed him.
Xiaopang panicked at this time, and hurriedly said: "Eh, wait, wait for my sword heart! I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
Hearing this, Kenshin turned around and said, "Anyway, what big secret?!"
Xiaopang pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "There are many people here, and I will talk about it when there is no one." ”
Jian Xin was a little angry again, thinking that Xiao Pang was playing with him, and was about to say something, but he heard Xiao Pang say: "Jian Xin, Yue'er, I told you about this because I treated you as a friend, you know, don't tell others, this is about my father's life and death!"
Seeing that Chubby was so serious, Kenshin also nodded heavily. The moon next to her also follows the meaning of Kenshin.
The three children ran to the mountainside in the south of the town before stopping, here are very few people on weekdays, it is said to be a wolf in the mountains, it is estimated that these children dare to run here, but it is indeed safe here, even if you roar louder, it is impossible to spread to the town.
The three of Kenshin all gasped, and Kenshin spoke: "I can say it now! The adults here don't dare to come, you hurry up, let's go back quickly after speaking, so as not to have any situation!"
I wanted to go to the top of the mountain, but because of the danger and the size of Chubby, I stopped at the mountainside.
Xiao Fat panted heavier than the two of them, and gasped: "Oh! I'm really tired, this mountain climbing is really a sin!"
Yue'er smiled coquettishly on the side: "Who told you to only know how to eat on weekdays, but not to exercise, and you have been wheezing like this in just a few steps, and you still said that you want to be a general in the future!
Kenshin nodded approvingly.
Xiaopang didn't care about the ridicule of the two, and said, "Who said that generals must fight on horseback!
Jian Xin Yue'er and the others didn't answer, and Jian Xin said again: "Okay, it's not here to chat, tell me your big secret." ”
Hearing this, Chubby took a deep breath, sat up, and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you the secret!" After a pause, he said, "No, you haven't sworn yet." Swear I'll tell you again!"
"Fatty, you're not done with it, such a mother-in-law, mother-in-law, if you want to say it, say it, what are so many things!" Kenshin was a little angry.
Seeing that Jian Xin was angry, Xiao Fat said, "Jian Xin, you can't blame me for this, life and death are a big deal." ”
Jian Xin sighed, pointed three fingers to the sky, and said: "I, Xu Jianxin, swear here today that I will never mention what Xiaopang told me today to the second person, otherwise the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and I will never become a sword immortal." ”
Yue'er also swore on the side.
"Now I can say it, I made such a poisonous oath!" Kenshin said.
Xiaopang nodded and said, "Well, I'll rest assured that I'll tell you." Saying that, Xiaopang suddenly lowered his voice: "The royal family of Takizhong, the king of stability, is going to rebel!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Jian Xin was really shocked, and said: "Little fatty, where did you get this news? The royal family rebelled? This is really a shocking secret!"
"That's not it, I was shocked when I heard it, yesterday a person came to visit my father at my house, he was dressed and we were not satisfied here, I was more curious, so I eavesdropped on the door, and the man promised that if my father took refuge, he would give my father the position of general. Chubby said.
"Then your father agreed?" Yue'er couldn't help but ask.
"How can that, my father slapped the table at that time and said no! He also said that he could treat today's events as if he had not heard them, but he also hoped that the king of stability would not come to our house. Chubby said.
Kenshin said: "Your father is quite backbone, but your family will not have a good time in the future." ”
Xiaopang also said: "My father has a backbone, otherwise how could he become the guard of Fengyang City? How can he command 30,000 sword guards? He is a great general in my heart!"
When Fatty said this, the flesh on his face shook, and he was obviously very proud.
"Forget it, this matter is not something we can worry about, besides, if I go to Longyuan and become a sword immortal in the future, I don't care what court he is, what kind of rebellion. Indeed, you must not speak of today's events, or your father will indeed suffer. Kenshin said.
Yue'er said at this time: "Kenshin, it's not safe here, we all know what we should know, let's go." ”
Kenshin looked around, the forest was dense, and it was indeed a little dangerous, and said, "Well, let's go down." ”
Suddenly, Xiao Hei barked at the woods...
Fengyang City, in the city government, famous people in the vicinity have gathered here.
There was a large mahogany long table in the house, and everyone was sitting in it, and Xu Fangzi was also there. Sitting down is a military general in armor. This military general has a big beard, his face is cut with a knife, and it seems that there is a scar on his face that is blocked by the big beard. He looked like a majestic martial artist, but one thing was ruined, and his eyes were unusually smiling, as if he couldn't open them. It feels like this person should be unusually honest.
The upper seat is an official in official uniform. Looks a little snobbish.
There was silence in the palace for a long time, and the military general spoke: "I don't think I should take refuge, the court is not thin on me Fengyang, and the world has been peaceful for a long time, and people live comfortably, why should there be a war?"
As soon as these words came out, many people nodded in agreement.
But the official said: "This king of Anding has united the three northern counties, and there are 100,000 iron cavalry, and there are many generals. If these 100,000 iron horsemen go south to attack my Fengyang, and the imperial court's rescue cannot arrive in time, wouldn't it be more dead and wounded? ”
In this way, it seems that what this official said is more reasonable.
Even if you have the heart to serve the country, you need your own life. If your life is gone, how can you repay the country? So everyone nodded yes.
The general suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "I am Fengyang, with a large land and a large population, no worse than any county." And there are 30,000 strong sword guards under the personal command of our dynasty, will they be afraid of him with only 100,000 iron cavalry?" After a pause, he said: "Don't think that I don't know that you have received the benefits of that palace! If you want to commit treason, go yourself, my dynasty will definitely stay and defend the city! That's it, today I have you to attend this meeting!"
After speaking, he ignored everyone's words, turned his head and left.
Everyone's faces were quite good-looking, especially the official, in the end, the dynasty exposed his bribery in front of so many people, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face, and he was speechless for a while.
Everyone was also a man with a head and a face, and the dynasty decided to go to war despite their opinions, and undoubtedly did not take them seriously. Since he didn't take it seriously, he had already decided what the significance of this meeting was.
But everyone can't help it, this military power is in the hands of this dynasty. This is also the reason why although the official position of this dynasty is smaller than that of this upper county guard, there is nothing to do with him.
Xu Fang laughed out loud and said: "This Wang Commander is indeed brave and loyal, and he is a good general! I, Xu Fang, support him! After speaking, he ignored everyone's faces and got up and left.
This time everyone really has no choice, since the people of the world learned that this Long Yuan has a relationship with the Xu Mansion, the status of the Xu family has risen. In favor of this, there were two people of high moral standing who supported the war, and no one objected.
Hearing Xu Fang's support for the dynasty, the county guard's face turned even paler, and he said straightly: "It's scattered!
