"Brother, you're finally back!"

"Master, you must take me next time."

Wu Yong waited at the gate of the city with one hundred and eighty guards for a long time, and when he saw Chao Gai leading the team back, he ordered to go down, and the gongs and drums were noisy, and the drums were playing in unison. When the original team reached the vicinity of the city wall, they led people to meet them.

"Hahaha, comrades, I'm back!"

Chao Gai saw Wu Yong, Chao Qiang, Yang Lin, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Zhu Fu, Bai Sheng, and Chao Fu from a distance, laughing and waving. Looking at the many brothers around him, melancholy appeared on his face.

When I first crossed over, I dealt with it seriously in order to survive, but now, I have gathered thirty or fifty brothers around me, which can be regarded as a climate.

Two groups of people gathered under the city, and the introduction of unknown people greeted each other for a while. Because the wind and snow were too big, and because of Du Bao, Yuan Lang and others waited in the house. Dozens of people crowded Chao Gai into Chaojiazhuang.

The bluestone paved streets extend in all directions, and the buildings on both sides are neat and orderly. "The working people are the most glorious, and they have to work when they have enough to eat" and other big red banners fluttered. Even in the snowy season, there are still caravans coming and going.

The people of the surrounding ten miles and eight towns carry the burden and come here to sell vegetables and so on. The streets are filled with snow and bustling with people.

The people from Tanzhou looked at each other dumbfounded, and their own guards led them to trade. Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang accepted the invitation and followed the team.

In front of the Chao Mansion, Chao Gai stopped and looked at the red-robed man sincerely: "Brother, you are a smart person, you should be able to guess one or two." Once you enter this door, you can't turn back, whether you advance or retreat, you have to think about it! ”

"Brother, little brother understands!" Lu Fang nodded heavily, and his heart was extremely moved. Chao Jiazhuang is so prosperous, and he knows that Chao Gai is not a person without ambitions, and it is rumored that he has refused to serve as an official in the court many times, so he woke up to his great plans.

He looked at the many heroes around him, and responded sonorously without the slightest pause: "Learn literature and martial arts, sell goods to the emperor's family, how can the world be turbid." Those who practice martial arts have a difficult family to run, have no way to serve the country, and get to know all the brothers. If you don't give up, you are willing to go to your brother, and you can get the sword mountain and the sea of fire. ”

After that, he threw Fang Tian's halberd to Guo Sheng, and bowed to Chao Gaina.

"Brother, please get up! Xiao Wenhou joined, and Chao Mansion had another tiger general. Chao Gai smiled with a smile in his eyes, stretched out his hands to clasp each other, and looked at Lu Fang again: "When my brother first came, he fell in love with Guo Sheng, so he first learned more from Shizhong." ”

"Thank you, brother!" Entering the guard camp, Lu Fang was overjoyed, Sun An, and Shan Shiqi were envious. Chao Gai is not a sissy, but a fierce general, following his side, charging into battle, and having the most opportunities to kill the enemy.

"Look at you, there will be opportunities to make contributions in the future."

"Hahaha, let's go, everyone go home!" Chao Gai was in a good mood and looked up to the sky and laughed. I haven't returned for a few months, and I feel very kind when I step into Chaofu again.

The courtyard wall was rebuilt and reinforced, and the rockery, which was high and thick, was bulldozed. A single-door courtyard has been built, just like a city within a city.

"Sir...... You're back! ”

The news of Master Chao's return had already spread in the house, and he had just come to the front yard. The familiar shouts of excitement were heard, and Comber rushed out of the courtyard.

Behind him are a large group of fierce generals such as Du Yan, Yuan Lang, Wei He, Yuan Lang, and Ji Sheng.

"Old man, I miss you!" Chao Gai saw that Comber's eyes were moist and he was also emotional, and he strode forward to give a bear hug and ask for warmth. Du Bao, Yuan Lang and others who came up again greeted each other one by one.

"Sir, where is Madame......" Comber wiped his tears and looked around.

"Damn, I didn't ...... the eight characters" Chao Gai wanted to say a few words, but he saw Li Qingwan jumping out of the carriage and walking over, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Okay, the old slave has seen Madame." When Comber saw his son's signal, he took three steps and two steps in front of Li Qingwan, and bowed with his back on his back.

Before the beautiful woman could take a few glances at Chaofu, she saw the old man bow down. was overwhelmed by this scene, and threw a look of help at Chao Gai.

Chao Gai quickly dragged the old man up, patted the snow on the old man's body and complained: "You have to get it, just know it, don't do this." ”

"Master, you have finally enlightened, the old slave has the face to see the old master when he dies." Comber looked at Li Qingwan and then at Chao Gai, with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, what are you crying for? The hegemonic generation cannot succeed, and comrades need to work hard. Chao Gai hugged the old man, and looked at many generals viciously, even Xiao Jiasui and Wu Yong, who were also under the stern gaze.

"We will obey my brother's orders." Ruan Xiaoqi and Guo Sheng jumped out to echo it. The result was naturally that everyone besieged it, shouting and daring to get involved in it.

After a few arguments, everyone laughed.

When Chao Gai saw the carriages coming in, he stopped everyone from laughing. instructed Chao Fu, the housekeeper of the house, to personally settle the newly joined brothers and their families, and asked Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Kui, and Zhang Shun to settle down and come to the party again.

Chao Gai was also unavoidably vulgar, personally settled the old woman He in the inner house, and brought his prospective wife Li Qingwan to the next door to his bedroom.

"Well, ma'am, you live here!"

No way, since she made a joke on the boat that she had been waiting for three and a half years, this beautiful woman didn't want to go back to Qizhou on the grounds that the wind and snow were too big, so she had to stay in Chaofu, and Qizhou sent someone to pack her things.

"Yes, Chao Tianwang's family is well-off." The beautiful woman walked up and down the room and looked at the furniture, and looked at the antique bed, and was very satisfied. can see Chao Gai's disgusted appearance, and he can't help but snort coldly with his hands on his hips.

"Why do you have that expression? What can you do if the old lady lives here? ”

"Yo, I found out that you used to be disguised, and you are becoming more and more like a shrew." Chao Gai saw that Li Qingwan's temperament had changed quickly, and his face was a little helpless.

"Don't officials understand what comes before and what comes after?" Li Qingwan smiled proudly.

"Don't you regret it after you don't know the officials?"

"Damn, if you're not honest, I'll get rid of you." Chao Gai grinned and grinned: "Madam, don't make trouble, tell your family if you need anything." ”

"The concubine understands." Li Qingwan nodded obediently.

"Lao Tzu will not comfort people." Chao Gai wanted to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly turned around and hugged the woman in his arms, and said softly: "Qingwan, Chao Mansion will be your home in the future, no one will, and no one dares to say that you are not at all." I don't believe in what Kefu's life, even if there is, Lao Tzu's life is up to me. ”

"The concubine knows." Li Qingwan's eyes were moist, and her voice was choked. A pair of pink arms hugged Chao Gai's waist tightly, and his cheeks rested lightly on his shoulders.

Over the years, her ex-husband died early, because of his stubborn personality and the fact that he failed to remarry, he was criticized by those prodigal children who spread rumors and caused trouble. No matter how strong a woman's personality is, she is also physically and mentally exhausted.

By chance, she met Chao Gai, and she felt that this was her destiny. Tears for many sadness in the past feel very worthwhile.

Chao Gai felt the person in his arms tremble slightly, more or less understanding. took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears and hugged her tightly.

I don't know how long it took, but it didn't let go until there was a noise outside.

"Madame is tired of traveling, so she can rest." Chao Gai's face was full of tender advice.

Li Qingwan said "um", and said with a smile: "Officials don't want to get drunk." ”

"Hahaha, don't worry, madam." Chao Gai laughed a few times and left.

Li Qingwan watched him leave and smiled sweetly. She likes to say what she has to say, and she doesn't hide it......

"Brother, brother, ......, you're back!"

Chao Gai exited the room, closed the door, and heard someone behind him shouting urgently. Turning around, this person is burly, with a square face and thick eyebrows, and three strands of beard fluttering, who can it be if it is not Luan Tingyu with an iron rod?

Behind him, followed by Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui!

It must be for those three fools, Chao Gai understood when he saw Luan Tingyu's appearance. sighed in his heart, but he greeted it with a puzzled face.

"Teacher Luan is in such a hurry, what is going on?"

Luan Tingyu paused, embarrassment appeared on his face, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Brother, I just came back, I really don't know." Chao Gai smiled when he saw Luan Tingyu embarrassed, and looked at the two military divisions again: "What happened recently?" ”

"Brother, you left for a few months and went to the carav......an to sell cattle and sheep in the north," Wu Yong coughed a few times, and stepped forward to complain very cooperatively. It's not loud but it's audible, telling the ins and outs of the matter.

"Uh..., what did Chao do wrong? Retaliation one after another? Chao Gai's face changed when he heard this, and his brows furrowed, as if talking to himself.

"Hey, brother, it's all three rebels who are causing trouble, and I hope that my brother will raise his noble hand." Luan Tingyu was even more embarrassed, but he had to open his mouth: "Zhujiazhuang is willing to pay 30,000 yuan, and the right is to visit as a generous gift." ”

How can it be so easy to bring someone who wants to bring 30,000 yuan?

Chao Gai sneered in his heart, very doubtful that Zhu Chaofeng had a long head, but his face did not show it, and comforted Luan Tingyu: "Brother, don't be anxious." ”

Turning around, he looked at Wu Yong again: "Maybe you treat the three sons badly?" ”

"No, I ate well, slept well, and gained weight." Wu responded honestly with a busy hand.

"Don't be rude, but as the saying goes, things are going on and on!"

Chao Gai touched his chin and muttered, pulled Luan Tingyu's arm and said earnestly: "Brother, don't worry, since you open your mouth, Brother Fool will definitely let you go." ”

"Thank you, brother......"

"Hey, I'm not done yet." Chao Gai stopped Luan Tingyu, his face was full of seriousness: "Brother, but you have to inform the old master of Zhu Chaofeng first, and some things will be clarified in person." Otherwise, it will be unbearable, and there will be a next time, and it is estimated that I will not have such good luck. I don't care, it doesn't mean that my brothers are easy to talk to. ”

"Teacher Luan, what my brother said is right, Li Kui left with his brother, and he will be in trouble there." Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui nodded in agreement.

"What the elder brother said is very true, the younger brother will go back and inform the master." Luan Tingyu thought of Li Kui holding a plate axe, and felt that this was the truth. Chong Chao Gai bowed his hand to thank him, and after speaking, he was impatient to leave.

"Brother, it's not too late to go tomorrow, stay and go to the banquet......"

"How can my brother and little brother be in the mood? Brother Li Kui is back, you can see it. "Luan Tingyu has no heart, no face and is worried, where is he willing to stay? After saying goodbye to Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Xiao Jiasui, they rushed away.

"Teacher Luan is a heroic figure, dragged down by villains."

After the people walked away, Wu Yong's face was full of regret and sighed softly.

"It'll be on the right side if you let it go, let's go, go to the Justice Hall." Chao Gai could see it, and pulled the two military advisors to chat while walking towards the newly built Juyi Hall.
