Du Jie's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw that the girl next to the man was the previous lotus picker. It's interesting, how did she end up here? As soon as Chu Mu heard that it was the land protector of this place, he frowned, and then said: "In Xia Chu Mu, the three of us are here to find a person, that is, Marshal Du, who has been fighting in the northwest for five years, do you know where his family house is." ”

The middle-aged man sighed after hearing this and said, "Hey, you are officials in the court, don't hide it, Old Man Du has already driven the crane westward ten days ago." ”

Du Jie's face, which he didn't know what to do, suddenly turned pale, his eyes widened and he said, "It's impossible to ......"

The middle-aged man who claimed to be the land protector was a little surprised to see Du Jie's reaction so big, but he still sighed and said: "This son, I can't hide it, Marshal Du suddenly fell ill more than ten days ago, and died in less than three days. The old marshal walked so fast, and we didn't expect that the villagers in the township collectively held a funeral for him, and Marshal Du was an old slave by his side before leaving, and there was no one else at all. Hey, it's a pity that this generation of people will end up like this. ”

"You talk nonsense! You are talking nonsense! You talk nonsense......" Du Jie couldn't listen to anything anymore, he staggered and pointed at the man and roared, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it......"

Chu Mu saw that it was not good, so he ran over and helped Du Jie, it didn't matter if he helped him, Du Jie couldn't help but squirt out with a mouthful of blood. Chu Mu secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly gave Du Jie a good breath, it took a long time for Du Jie to recover, and he said to the middle-aged man with tears and trembling: "Uncle...... Please take me to my grandfather's grave. ”

"Your grandfather? Are you the grandson of Marshal Du? This time it was the turn of the earth guard to be surprised, he looked Du Jie carefully up and down many times, and then bit his ear at the person next to him, the man nodded after listening, and then left quickly. But after a while, the man turned back again, and not only did the man come back, but he was followed by a fierce old man, whose face had a very hideous scar from the top left to the bottom, his skin was dark, and he was seven feet tall, and he stood in the crowd like a half-black tower. The old man followed the man back, looked left and right, and saw Du Jie's face with great joy at a glance, and ran to Du Jie's side in three steps and two steps and said, "Young marshal, why are you back?" ”

When Du Jie saw the black old man, he cried out: "Grandpa Qiu, is my grandfather dead, how could he die?" ”

The old black man laughed loudly: "Young marshal, don't listen to their nonsense, the master is good at home, go!" I'll take you home. After speaking, he pulled Du Jie up from the ground, looked back at the ground guard and said: "This is my young marshal, see it clearly in the future, don't see anyone who says that my master is dead, and he doesn't have long eyes." ”

The land bao nodded resignedly, and said sorry to Du Jie with a shameful face, but the old man didn't pay attention to him at all, took Du Jie's hand and left.

On the way to Du Zhai, it took Du Jie a long time to calm down his extremely sad mood. He looked up and asked the old black man, "Grandpa Qiu, why did that local security officer just now say that my grandfather is dead?" Is this land a bully? ”

"How is that possible? Not to mention in a small Ningze, it is the bad luck of who dares to find the lord in the entire Zhezhou Mansion, but the lord has instructions, if someone comes to look for him, just tell others that he is dead, I don't know why, you see I don't dare to call the marshal now, I have to call the lord every day, and I will get used to shouting and shouting. Qiu Yong said helplessly

This black old man's name is Qiu Yong, who has been Marshal Du Wei's adjutant for more than ten years, and Du Wei was rescued from a group of death row prisoners, and because of this, this Qiu Yong followed Du Wei to fight for more than ten years.

Although Qiu Yong is an adjutant in the army, he only listens to the words of Marshal Du alone, even if he supervises the army, he doesn't care at all, and he is very popular in the upper echelons of the army. This Qiu Yong is loyal, and when he kills the enemy, he moves forward bravely, and the scar on his face is that he was injured by the enemy when he saved Du Jie, and since then Du Jie has treated him like his grandfather.

Qiu Yong loved Du Jie very much, when Du Jie's father and mother were killed, Du Jie cried to death, Qiu Yong guarded him for ten days, when the Du family was already not prosperous, Marshal Du was so angry when he heard the bad news, he almost fainted. Thanks to Qiu Yong and the tiger guards surrounding the Chinese army day and night, there was no mutiny. Therefore, if you want to say which general in the entire Northwest Army is the best at fighting, Du Jie can't say it, but if you want to say which general his grandfather likes the most, it must be Qiu Yong.

The old house of the Du family is located in the center of the whole township, and the Du family is a big family and a property that has been tired for several generations. The building here is afraid that it is more than 100 years old, simple and elegant, the river outside the door is introduced into the yard, and then it is led out again along the whole Du house, the yard is very spacious, and the pond is weeping willows and lotuses. Although Du Jie came back for the first time, when he was a child, he often listened to his grandfather talk about him in the old mansion, and he was fascinated, and now he is finally back.

A group of four happily walked to the door of Du's house, Qiu Yongle ran to open the door, but before he could stretch out his hand, the door opened from the inside. Out of the courtyard came a playful girl in an emerald green dress, with a round face, and big eyes looked curiously at the three people behind Qiu Yong.

Qiu Yong looked at it and smiled: "Why are you at home, girl?" Do you miss your Grandpa Qiu? ”

The girl ignored Qiu Yong, walked past him and walked in front of Du Jie: "You are Brother Du Jie, Brother Du Jie is good, Luan'er greets you." ”

Du Jie was stunned, this girl had never seen it before, he looked at Qiu Yong with an inquiring eye, Qiu Yong was wondering if he had offended this girl, why he didn't care about himself. After the girl who called herself Luan'er gave Du Jie a salute, she jumped and ran to the door, and then said with a tense face: "Grandpa has an order, if Du Jie comes back, don't go home, let him go back and forth from where." If he insisted on breaking into the house, he would not recognize this grandson. ”

Qiu Yong pulled his face down when he heard this: "Luan girl, don't talk nonsense, master, he usually loves the young marshal the most, and the young marshal has arrived at the door, how can he not let him in, get out of the way, don't mess around." ”

Luan'er didn't buy Qiu Yong's account at all, waved her little hand and said: "I'm not messing around at all, Grandpa Qiu doesn't believe it, you can go in and ask grandpa, Luan'er is a gatekeeper who has just been appointed by grandpa, grandpa has an order, Du Jie is not allowed to enter the house." ”

Qiu Yong looked at what Luan'er said in a similar way, and it didn't seem to be fake. He thought for a while, turned back to Du Jie and said: "The young marshal is waiting at the door, I'll go in and tell the master, how can there be a reason why the grandson is not allowed to enter the house at the door, don't worry, don't worry, play with the girl at the door first." With that, he turned around and walked into the house.

When Du Jie heard this, what was going on? What did you do wrong outside to make grandpa unhappy? Grandpa doesn't want to be himself, Du Jie was thinking nonsense at the door, and he didn't know what to do. But that Luan'er girl seemed to be very interested in Du Jie, and kept peeking at him, once Du Jie looked at the door, she immediately stood up and raised her little hand, she really wanted to be a general guarding the door. Chu Mu saw that this little girl was cute, so he asked Du Jie: "Senior brother, is this little girl your relative?" ”

"No, it's the first time I've seen her, and who knows where it came from. He also blocked me from going to see my grandfather. Du Jie said with a sad face

Who knew that Luan'er heard this, and she raised her head quite unhappily and said: "Brother Du Jie, why do you talk like this, Luan'er didn't come out of nowhere, Luan'er was handed over to grandpa by grandpa himself, and grandpa died." I had to hand me over to my grandfather. Grandpa treated me like a granddaughter. As he spoke, his face became a little sad, and a few tears began to roll in his eyes.

"What grandpa handed over to grandpa, I was confused by what you said. Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about it, don't cry. I'm honestly waiting. Du Jie can't see girls crying the most, as soon as a girl cries, his heart softens, and he has no choice but to compromise.

When Na Luan heard Du Jie's assurance, she laughed out loud, then wiped her tears and looked at Du Jie with a little smugness. Then he looked at Chu Mu again, and finally stopped at Ye Tingcheng

"Ah, my sister is so beautiful." Although she was veiled, the girl who called herself Luan'er still stared at Ye Tingcheng in surprise: "Why does my sister look so good-looking, what is my sister's name, sister, my name is Luan'er, is it okay for you to be my sister." "This girl who calls herself Luan'er is really weird. Ye Tingcheng was not good at talking, Luan'er said that if she was a man, she would have done it a long time ago, but she looked such a cute little girl, not only did she not want to do it, but she also wanted to pinch Luan'er's little face.

At this moment, Qiu Yong walked out of the house with his head bowed, and Du Jie saw it and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Qiu, how is it?" ”

"This ...... The lord said, when he issued a military order to you, you will come back after learning the skill, the lord asked you, you went out for three years but finished learning the skill? Qiu Yong said

"Look, I'm not lying." Luan'er was even more proud when she heard this, and nodded her little head to Qiu Yong and said

"I ...... I came by imperial order this time, and I didn't sneak back by myself. Du Jie hurriedly replied

"You're going to see the emperor?" Suddenly, an old, powerful voice sounded from inside the wall.

Du Jie was stunned for a moment after hearing this voice, and then immediately shouted excitedly: "Grandpa! "I'm going to rush through the door when I'm done. The voice sounded again: "Stop, take one more step and you will not be my Du Wei's grandson!" ”
