Chapter 234: In exchange for glory and wealth
Gu Changgong's cooking skills are superb, and the Zhang family is also hungry, so there is no food left.
After eating, and sitting and drinking tea for a while, everyone went back to the house to rest, and set off for the fishing village early the next morning.
On the way back to the fishing village, Xu Jingluo told the Zhang family about Gu Changgong's true identity 1510, and even confessed how the two of them were drugged in the palace eight years ago and how they made mistakes in a daze.
"This, this Changgong is actually His Royal Highness the Second Western Wei Dynasty? Is it Runtian and Cestbon's father? Zhang's face was shocked, and he didn't dare to imagine it at all.
"Yes, it's true." Xu Jingluo's pretty face flushed a little and nodded.
"yes, that's great!" Zhang Shi excitedly shook Xu Jingluo's hand, "My mother has been worried about this, I never thought that the marriage between you and Changgong had been decided eight years ago." ”
"No wonder, no wonder Runtian Yibao likes Changgong so much, and keeps calling his father, it turns out that father and son are connected!"
"Isn't it?" Xu Jingluo pursed his lips, his eyes were filled with a hint of sweetness that could not be concealed, "It's really unexpected." ”
"And when are you going to get married?" Zhang Shi was silent and asked.
"If you get married, don't rush it." Xu Jingluo lowered his voice, "Wait until we leave here first, and then talk about getting married." ”
Zhang's family knows his daughter very well, and when he saw that Xu Jingluo's tone was wrong, his expression was tense.
"Leave? Is it possible to leave secretly? ”
"Not bad." Xu Jingluo nodded firmly, "Shuanglong City is unpredictable, I don't know what kind of big things will happen, we will find a way to build a ship as soon as possible and leave here by sea." ”
"But we have a brand on our faces, where can we flee if we leave?"
Zhang's family is worried and reluctant, who can be willing to leave the hard-earned land and the fishing village they have built?
But if you are not willing to send people to a foreign country, life and death are in the hands of others, what is the use of staying?
Xu Jingluo comforted Zhang.
"I have excellent scar removal medicine, and the brand on my face is not difficult to remove, so my mother can rest assured."
"Okay, my mother knows." Zhang didn't ask much, what did she have to question about her daughter's decision? There must be no mistake.
On the evening of the day when Xu Jingluo and his entourage arrived at the fishing village, Xu Wanjun and Xu Jingsheng also entered Shuanglong City.
"Son, it's getting late today, go home and rest for the night, and talk about other things tomorrow."
Xu Jingsheng saw that it was almost dark, so he nodded in agreement.
Coincidentally, in the south of the city, he met Mrs. Pang coming to buy vegetables on the street, Xu Wanjun told Mrs. Pang to buy more fish and meat, and asked Xu Jingsheng to follow Mrs. Pang home first.
He ran into the pharmacy opened by Zhu Lingxiang to buy a pack of anesthetics, and went to the side to buy a jar of good wine, and then returned home with a smile on his face.
Xu Wanjun moved quickly, Xu Jingsheng and Mrs. Pang had just arrived home with their front feet, and he came back with good wine on his back feet.
As soon as he came back, he ran into Xu Jingsheng going outside the courtyard, apparently wanting to inquire about the news from the neighbors next to him, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"Come on, come on, our father and son have been separated for so many years, and today we are finally reunited, and we must have a good drink."
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Jingsheng to sit in the courtyard and instructed Mrs. Pang to cook.
Mrs. Pang has lived in the countryside for half her life, and she can still cook meals, although she is reluctant to give up the fish and meat, but when she thinks that she can seek greater benefits by winning over Xu Jingsheng, she is not so distressed, and soon makes a table of decent dishes.
After the dishes were served, Xu Wanjun personally poured wine for Xu Jingsheng.
"How happy is it that our father and son can sit together and drink after experiencing life and death? Come on, it. ”
Xu Wanjun lifted the wine bowl with a moving face, his eyes overflowing with tears of excitement.
When Xu Jingsheng heard this, his heart was hot, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.
He has escaped death on the battlefield many times, and what he misses most is his parents and relatives, which naturally includes Mrs. Pang's milk and Xu Wanjun's father.
At this moment, I hope that what Xu Jingluo said is a lie, his father and grandmother are not such vicious people, and I hope that the family will have a reunion one day.
Looking at Xu Wanjun's blue eyes and ugly face, he was also a little distressed for a while.
"Dad, no matter how happy you are, eat a few bites of food first, it's not good for your health to drink in a hurry, I'll do it, you feel free."
After Xu Jingsheng finished speaking, he drank the wine down.
Xu Wanjun looked at Xu Jingsheng with a smile on his face and drank the wine, but he only took a sip.
He hadn't drugged the wine yet, and there were some things he had to figure out first, so he said something touching and poured Xu Jingsheng's wine.
After a few bowls of wine, Xu Jingsheng was almost drunk, and Xu Wanjun quietly said.
"Son, since you came to Double Dragon City, why didn't you come to us all the time? It makes your milk worry, and your eyes are so worried that your eyes are about to cry! ”
"It's only been a few days since I came to Double Dragon City." Xu Jingsheng lowered his voice, "I just arrived a few nights ago, didn't I come to look for relatives as soon as I asked for leave?" ”
Xu Jingsheng only thought that Xu Wanjun was also Zhu Changling's person, after all, Xu Wanjun was also the secretary of the Southern Zhou State Household Department before, and also held the position of tax collector, so he took it for granted that Xu Wanjun knew that Zhu Changling and Wei Xuhan had joined forces to rebel against this plan.
How did he know that Zhu Changling hated corrupt officials like Xu Wanjun, how could he use it again?
Xu Jingsheng was drunk and hazy, he didn't think about hiding these things at all, and he didn't need Xu Wanjun to ask, the bamboo tube poured beans and put it out.
"A month ago, we arrived, but not as many as this time, this time there were 40,000 people."
"There are a total of 250,000 remnants of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and if you want to send them all to Shuanglong City, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in a year and a half."
……
Xu Wanjun was shocked by these words, he simply didn't know anything about these things.
It was precisely because he didn't know anything about this matter that Xu Wanjun felt very angry, since Zhu Changling planned to rebel, why did he exclude him?
In this way, once Zhu Changling's rebellion succeeds, then he has no intention of appointing him as the head of the household?
Xu Wanjun pulled the corners of his mouth fiercely, even so, then they should poke out their rebellion and let Zhu Changling and his comrades all die!
After drinking some wine and being annoyed, Xu Wanjun was not so thoughtful, and after a pause, he wondered: "There are so many Northern Liang soldiers guarding outside, how did so many of you get in?" ”
As soon as he asked this, Xu Jingsheng was frightened and half awakened, and the whole person suddenly became alert.
But anyone who is Zhu Changling, it is impossible not to know that Zhu Changling and Wei Xuhan, the second prince of Northern Liang, have colluded, and they both swaggered into the city at night, so they still need to ask this question?
Since Xu Wanjun asked so, it can only mean one thing, he is not Zhu Changling's person, and he should know nothing about Zhu Changling and Wei Xuhan's plan.
So, I inadvertently leaked this big secret to outsiders? Xu Jingsheng's wine was scared awake at once.
Where do you dare to leak it again? Hurriedly coughed twice and lied.
"Isn't it all about taking a boat to Ssangyong City? Directly from the river to the west, it galloped into Ssangyong City, and I didn't know it. ”
Xu Wanjun believed it to be true, and he was in a hurry, but he didn't think about this big matter to Wei Xuhan, the second prince of Northern Liang, and his mind was full of what benefits he could get by exposing this matter to Wei Xuhan, and what kind of glory and wealth he would get in exchange.
Thinking about the news, when he poured wine for Xu Jingsheng, he poured all the packets of anesthetic into the wine bowl, and then served it to Xu Jingsheng.
"Son, you were born and died on the battlefield, you worked hard, Dad should give you a bowl."
Xu Wanjun drank all this bowl of wine, Xu Jingsheng regretted drinking and making a mistake at this moment, and almost leaked a big secret, and he didn't dare to drink it anymore, just took a small sip.
The people in the barracks were vigilant, and when he took this small sip of wine into his mouth, Xu Jingsheng felt that the taste was not quite right, and it seemed to be drugged, so he hurriedly spit out the wine, and then poured all the bowl of wine behind him, and poured the wine out without noticing.
