Xiaozhong followed the direction of the chain and saw a man of his age, who had a wide face and wide ears, and his eyes were full of pride, except for a few short whiskers under his chin, which contradicted this arrogance. Xiaozhong said: "Duan Gan? ”

Duan Gan retracted the chain and replied: "Xiaozhong, don't come unharmed." ”

Xiaozhong said again: "This gentleman, so fearless on the streets, it turns out that you are secretly helping him." Duan Gan, how could you work hard for this kind of person? ”

Duan Gan said: "Make a living, and serve your master." ”

At this time, Ziqing immediately shouted: "General Jin has returned victoriously today, and he will make a pilgrimage immediately, and the idle people will wait - quickly avoid!" ”

Duan Gan turned around and said coldly to Wen Jing: "This matter is a long-term consideration. ”

Wen Jing thought about it, there would be no good results if the heavy soldiers of Jin Yu were in hand, and if they continued to fight, they would write it down for the time being, and go back to discuss with their father before making plans, so they didn't say anything more, just looked at Tian Shan contemptuously to the side, Xiaozhong took back his sword and saluted him: "There will be a period later." ”

Xiaozhong also returned the salute.

The team set off forward, Xiao Li passed by Wen Jing, Wen Jing showed a weird smile, and said secretly: "Your life is mine." ”

Xiao Li didn't speak, just showed him a wolf-like expression.

Luoyang Palace.

Emperor Wu sat on the dragon chair.

The civil and military officials stood on both sides and listened to Jin Yan's report.

The eunuch holds the holy decree and reads out the great deeds of filial piety.

Xiaozhong knelt down and listened.

Later, the emperor rewarded Xiaozhong again.

After going through this process, the first thing Xiaozhong did after going down was to meet Ziqing's father with Ziqing.

Xiaozhong, Ziqing, Du Heng, Du Meng and others entered the Jin Mansion. All kinds of furnishings in the Jinfu Hall are quite shady, and the tables and chairs are also from the hands of famous craftsmen, Ziqing's father Jin Yuan sat upright on the upper seat, his face was serious, but when he saw the return of his nephews, he also showed joy, and next to Ziqing's mother Du Shi, as well as Ziqing's sister Yan'er, and brother-in-law Qiao Yinshi.

Xiaozhong saw that Jin's father was busy kneeling and bowing: "Uncle is here, please accept the nephew's worship." ”

This uncle is really called, filial piety has been established since childhood, and it is also taken care of by Jinyuan, so this uncle is both an uncle and a father.

Father Jin smiled and helped Xiaozhong up and said earnestly: "Xiaozhong, just come back." The battlefield is not easy, and it will hurt you. ”

Xiaozhong nodded in satisfaction.

Ziqing's mother Du Shi was very kind, and Xiaozhong took a face-to-face, Xiaozhong was busy giving gifts, and Jin Mu was anxious to help him up, so she went straight to Ziqing, Ziqing hugged her mother's arm and shouted excitedly: "Mother!" Du Shi's tears fell, stroked Ziqing's forehead and cheeks, and said, "My Yu'er, just come back-"

The Du brothers behind Ziqing hurriedly knelt down and said, "My uncle and aunt are healthy, and I am worshiped by my nephew." Du Shi excitedly helped the two of them up and said, "I have suffered you on the battlefield." ”

Jin's mother invited Xiaozhong to a reunion dinner, but Xiaozhong had something in his heart, so he politely declined.

During the banquet, Father Jin just chatted with Ziqing lightly, and it was all about the battlefield, and Ziqing also responded one by one, Du kept shushing and asking for warmth, but Father Jin was always sullen, and Ziqing also knew that it was naturally because Xiaozhong failed to stay.

After eating the reunion dinner, Ziqing was sent away by Father Jin, let him live in the General's Mansion, and told him before leaving: "Although it is the capital, it is better to be careful." Jin Mu asked Jin Yuan very angrily: "I really don't know which one is your biological son!" ”

Father Kim just smiled.

After Xiaozhong left the Jin Mansion, he went straight to Duan Gan.

On the riverside, as soon as the two met, they competed, Xiaozhong showed the dragon tail sword, Duan Gan used the bundle dragon rope, the bundle dragon rope looked no different from ordinary chains at first glance, interlocking, but this chain was made by Duan Gan like a spirit snake, immediately tied Xiaozhong's arm, unexpectedly, the iron rope instantly emitted a red light like a fire, Xiaozhong's arm was burned, black smoke came out, sizzling, Xiaozhong screamed in pain, Duan Gan was also very surprised, quickly withdrew the chain, and said: "What's the matter?" It wasn't like that before! ”

Xiaozhong was also very surprised, the two had no intention of hurting each other, how did they expect this shot to hurt him, Duan Gan was very unbearable, Xiaozhong had been fighting for many years, this injury was not taken to heart, Duan Gan wanted to step forward to check the injury, Xiaozhong withdrew his arm, and asked: "Why help people like Wen Jing?" ”

Duan Gan replied: "I said, for a living. ”

"You have all the ability, why have you ever been confused about your livelihood?" Filial piety is self-unbelief.

Duan Gan said again: "This person is the only son of Da Situ, I am his personal bodyguard, responsible for his safety, so my remuneration is rich and my income is stable, that's all." ”

"You're not such a person, you're unruly and unruly, there must be a reason for this, what's your problem?"

"How many stones are in your pilgrimage? I'm several times as much as you, who doesn't want to be tempted by such a generous reward, I'm such a person, it's just that you don't recognize it, filial piety, you will become more and more clear about my personality, you only returned to the court today, and now the government and the opposition, you will also see it more and more clearly. ”

"Duan Gan, what happened during the time we were apart?"

"The answer you want is here. Are you not satisfied? ”

"Duan Gan-" Xiaozhong was helpless.

Duan Gan said: "The time for filial piety has not yet come, and when the time is ripe, you will know a lot, what you don't want to know, there will be a period later!" ”

Xiaozhong was even more confused. But Duan Gan didn't listen to him finish his words, so he took his leave and left.

As soon as Xiaozhong returned to the General's Mansion and sat down, Lao He, the housekeeper in the house, came up and said, There was a girl outside the door who asked to see him.

Xiaozhong was very puzzled by Duan Gan's matter, and he was upset in his heart, and said angrily: "I don't see."

The roar made the steward tremble.

Xiaozhong realized that he was out of shape, and said: "Oh, Uncle He, there have been a lot of strange things recently, and it's better not to see the idle people." ”

"I've worked hard for you all these years."

Lao Hecai, who was in charge, smiled and said, "General, this is what an old slave should do." ”

So he went out and sent away the visitors.

Ziqing heard Xiaozhong's angry voice, walked in, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiaozhong didn't feel strange when he saw Ziqing, he knew that it was his uncle's arrangement, and the two felt very appropriate to be each other's company, so he tore off the burnt sleeves and told him about Duan Gan, Ziqing was also surprised when he heard it, at this time Gongsun Qi also walked in, Xiaozhong was afraid that Xiao Li would cause trouble again, so he told Ziqing not to disturb Xiao Li.

Gongsun Qi didn't know Duan Gan, he took care of Xiaozhong's injuries, listening to the conversation between the two, Xiaozhong asked Ziqing again: "In your opinion, if something happens in the capital these days, what happened to Duan Gan?" ”

"Hmm." Xiaozhong nodded.

Ziqing said again: "But it's also strange to tie the dragon rope, it's an ordinary chain, why does it burn you?" ”

"Bundle the dragon rope?" Gongsun Qi was very surprised when he heard this word. Xiaozhong Ziqing couldn't understand why he was so surprised and looked at him.

"You said that today's guy named Duan Gan used the dragon rope?" Gongsun Qi asked again.

Xiaozhong said: "Oh, Duan Gan Jishu, that's right, the dragon rope is his weapon!" ”

"Gongsun Qi, why do you care so much about this weapon?" Ziqing asked.

"This dragon rope reminds me that it shouldn't be an accident that you were injured that day." Gongsun said.

"Are these two things related?" Ziqing said.

"I don't dare to confirm, but my intuition tells me that the appearance of the dragon rope is not accidental, and the dragon rope was unharmed with you before, but today it burned you, Xiaozhong has been doing strange things against you recently, although this is the capital, it may be no different from the battlefield, don't show your edge again in recent days."

"Gongsun Qi is too worried." Ziqing saw Gongsun Qi's serious alarmism, and couldn't help but say on the side.

Xiaozhong also said: "Yes, I want us to be born and die every day at the border pass, live in fear, and want to return to our own home in the capital, or relax." ”

Gongsun Qi said: "Xiaozhong, I hope I think too much, and there are still some things for me to verify, before the results come out, you still listen to me." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Filial piety.

Xiaozhong knew that Gongsun Qi was like a god, and what he said must have made sense, so he agreed to make him feel at ease.

Next.

Filial piety to the court, the emperor and the ministers discussed and decided, although filial piety is young, but outstanding military achievements, in order to reward filial piety, Jin Xiang Jin Xiaozhong as the protector of the country.

A minister came out and said: "The minister thinks this matter is inappropriate! ”
