Chapter 37: I'm Going to Choose Myself!
If you don't contain the other party's means from the source now, sooner or later, the Xiao family army will be controlled everywhere.
When the time comes, it will be difficult to turn over.
Old General Xiao pondered for a moment and decided, "The matter of buying grain cannot be delayed, and at present, we can only buy it farther away from Fengcheng." ”
Speaking of this, the old man's face was slightly solemn.
"If you go, the time will definitely not be short, but I am afraid that if you are not in the camp, someone will take the opportunity to make trouble."
I still remember last night's events.
Although General Xiao did not come to the scene in person, it was not difficult to hear the other party's careful plan from Nie Quan's report.
If the other party heard that Meng Fang was going to leave Fengcheng for a few days, it was estimated that he would use even more insidious moves to frame the Xiao family.
"If it's just that, there's a way to prevent it."
After Meng Fang returned, he had also seen the thief who pretended to be him, but at this time there were more important problems to be solved.
"My subordinates are afraid that even if they go to a distant town, they won't be able to buy back the grain, and even if someone is really willing to sell it, it is estimated that they will face danger on the way back to Fengcheng."
"In the end, it is still unknown how much food the subordinates will be able to save and return to the city."
Meng Fang's worries were naturally thought of by Old General Xiao.
This person behind the scenes can make all the businessmen in the surrounding neighboring counties give up their business with Xiao Jiajun, which shows that he is powerful and powerful, and it is not impossible to send someone to pretend to be a bandit to rob the military rations halfway.
As long as you don't find out who this person is for a day, and you can't get the evidence of his murder of Xiao Jiajun for a day, Xiao Jiajun and Xiao Mansion will have endless troubles every day in the future.
The matter was too tricky, and the two people in the study fell silent.
"General, the little grandson and the little lady have come to visit you."
The voice of the government soldiers sounded in the courtyard.
The study of the Xiao Mansion is the most important military place of the Xiao family, and there are two or three layers of government soldiers guarding it from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard.
As soon as the little boy and the little lady came to the outer courtyard, the government soldiers came in with news all the way.
"You arrange the people you need, and when you're ready, you can leave and go to other towns to make inquiries."
Old Man Xiao got up and walked to Meng Fang's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go, let's be bored in the study all morning, go out and meet my two pistachios, happy."
Hearing this, Meng Fang's stern face loosened slightly.
Opening the door of the study, Old Man Xiao saw two little dolls running into the yard hand in hand, and the moment he saw himself, his little eyes lit up.
The little baby giggled, laughing straight to the tip of his heart.
Behind them, Lu Wuming, who was walking steadily, immediately clasped his fists and saluted when he saw Old General Xiao.
Seeing Lu Wuming who followed, Old Man Xiao immediately understood why the two children came.
"Grandpa is good, Uncle Meng is good."
Su Qingtian stood in front of Old Man Xiao obediently, bowing and saluting in a decent manner, and the two little chirps shook and swayed, which was really cute and tight.
This grandfather's soft and glutinous voice directly reached General Xiao's heart, so sweet that he forgot his sorrow for a while.
Meng Fang looked at Xiao Nizi, and a faint smile rose on the corner of her mouth.
"Grandpa is good, Uncle Meng is good."
Xiao Nan also learned from the appearance of a sweet sister, greeted General Xiao and Meng Fang, and saluted handsomely.
This is Lu Wuming's favorite way of giving gifts, and Xiao Nan naturally learns the same, hoping that one day he can be as amazing as Brother Lu's martial arts.
Looking at the two little ones who were learning to look like adults, Old Man Xiao couldn't help laughing.
"Mengfang, my grandson is cute."
Meng Fang smiled and nodded, then turned to leave.
"What are you two little boys doing when you come to find your grandparents?"
The old general stroked his beard and looked at the two children, and said with a loving smile, "Nan'er, but you want to beg me to find Xiao Qingtian a personal guard like Nameless?" ”
Hearing his grandfather's words like a god, Xiao Nan's eyes widened in shock, and he looked adoring.
Grandpa is also too powerful, how can he know before he speaks!
The little grandson's admiring gaze made Old General Xiao particularly useful.
He touched the top of Xiao Nan's head in a very good mood, squatted down and looked at Su Qingtian on the side.
"Xiao Qingtian, do you really want a guard like your brother?" Old Man Xiao asked extremely carefully.
When the war broke out, Old Man Xiao was ordered to go to the battlefield, and he had no time to participate in the growth of his daughter Hongxia, and now it is a regret in his heart.
Now the little granddaughter in front of him suddenly arrived, making him feel the fun of the little padded jacket again, naturally he wanted to give her the greatest favor, the best thing, and make up for the guilt of Hongxia.
He had already prepared, and he didn't want Xiao Qingtian to follow Hongxia's old path, so he not only had to arrange personal guards for her, but also arranged a few secret guards to protect her safety.
It's just that he thinks that the little girl is too young, soft and cute, and bad things have happened before, and he is afraid that he will be frightened when he suddenly arranges a stranger to be by her side.
Unexpectedly, Nan'er inadvertently contributed to this incident.
At this time, Su Qingtian nodded excitedly when she heard that her grandfather knew the purpose of their coming.
The thought of being able to go in and out of the Xiao Mansion at will without the care of her grandfather and uncle made her very happy.
Xiaowa stretched out her little hand and grabbed General Xiao's big hand, shaking it and coquettishly.
"Yes, Qing Tian also wants a guard who is as powerful as Brother Nan."
"Grandpa, is it okay?"
This is the first request made by this child when he comes to Xiao Mansion, and Old Man Xiao has nothing to do.
He touched Su Qingtian's little head.
"Okay, grandpa must choose the most suitable guard for my little Qingtian."
Who knew that the little girl shook her head and shook her grandfather's sleeve.
"I'm going to choose for myself!"
Old General Xiao naturally has a good eye for people, but people are separated from their stomachs, and she doesn't want to arrange a white-eyed wolf by her side.
At that time, because the person was sent by General Xiao, she couldn't drive it away, and she couldn't kill it, so it was really troublesome!
It's better to seize the initiative and choose by yourself!
It was the first time that General Xiao had met someone who wanted to choose his own guard, but the little granddaughter's clear eyes looked at him directly, and he saw that his heart melted, and he was immediately defeated.
"Okay, good, Xiao Qingtian chooses by herself."
For the secret guards he cultivated, General Xiao was still very sure.
Although some people's martial arts are not the top, they are all first-class centers.
No matter who the little girl chooses, it's not a big problem.
Seeing that his grandfather agreed, Su Qing let out a cheer and threw himself into Old Man Xiao's arms.
"Grandpa is the best!"
"Qing Tian likes her grandfather the most!"
hugged his little granddaughter, and Old Man Xiao was also infected by her happiness, smiling brightly.
Pick up the little girl in her arms, pinch her little nose, and let out a hearty and hearty smile.
Xiao Nan stood aside, also smirking happily.
As long as the sweet sister is happy, she is also happy!
I wanted to choose an escort immediately, but it was already lunch time, and Old Man Xiao still asked his grandchildren to eat on time, it was the time to grow their bodies, and they must not be hungry and full.
