Let Xu Datong be taken down to settle down, and then bring in the person who wants to see him.

The person who came was a lame Confucian student, dressed in a simple Confucian suit, with a medium body and a temperament, I can't say it, it seems to be a little arrogant...... Why doesn't it feel like a serious Confucian student?

The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, Xiao Rui stood up in surprise, "Are you the fourth?" Downhill Tiger? ”

The fourth child seems to have returned to the days when he was a licking dog in Tanzhou Bandits, and said flatteringly: "Well, Hou Ye has good eyesight, the student thought that you couldn't recognize me when I changed my clothes, but I didn't expect to be recognized by you at a glance, it seems that Hou Ye still remembers the student." ”

Burst......

What the hell is this mess? Student? Whose student are you? Don't you feel awkward as a bandit leader wearing a Confucian suit? I don't recognize you if I change my waistcoat? We got along for a few days.

After being surprised, Xiao Rui had a strong curiosity, "I didn't expect you to have a big fate, and you really survived." Okay, Ben Hou fulfilled his original promise and gave you some wealth. ”

Xiashan Tiger hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness." Students will definitely live up to your expectations, study here, and strive to achieve success as soon as possible and return to benefit the township. ”

Oh?

When Xiao Rui heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "For the benefit of the township? So, you've already guessed the arrangement that Benhou is going to give you? Wouldn't you, you go down the mountain and tiger a thief has this brain? ”

Although Xiao Rui's words were full of contempt, Xia Shanhu was not annoyed, but nodded in agreement, and said, "Where can the student guess?" I thought you were going to give me some money to be a rich man. It was the guidance of an old man in the village. Oh yes, he changed my name too. ”

Geezer? Change your name?

Xiao Rui asked: "I've always called you Xiashanhu, I forgot to ask you the big one, what's your name?" Why should the good ones change their names? ”

Xia Shanhu explained: "The student's original name was Xia Yuanren, which was given by his grandfather. But then I met the old man, and only after his guidance did I know about your arrangement, and then he said that it is not far away, my name is not good, how can I be far away? A gentleman should always be benevolent, so he changed it to Huairen for me. And kindly reminded me that I would straighten my chest in the future, call myself a student, and no longer act like a subordinate. ”

Huairen? Villain? Scared people?

Xiao Rui's stomach hurt with a smile, "What the hell is this name?" Your original name Xia Yuanren is very good, but it was changed to a frightening person, it sounds too strange. Which old man in the village, why are you so obedient? ”

Xiashan Tiger shook his head, "I don't know either, it's the one who fishes by the lake at the entrance of the village every day, it is said that the people in the village call him the third master, I think he is an elder, so change the name and change the name." Actually, I think it's weird......"

Who? The third master?

Xiao Rui couldn't help but cover his eyes, no wonder, he could guess his follow-up arrangements at a glance, there were two in the village, one was the third master, and the other was Du Xiang, who made a guest appearance as Mr. Teaching.

"Then what, you haven't offended his old man these days, have you?"

Offend?

Xia Shanhu shook his head and said: "Students have been studying seriously, and rarely go to the lake to be lazy, and they have never been offended." Master Hou, is the third master from the village? Could it be that he has some other identity? ”

Xiao Rui thought about it, and told him, so as not to offend people one day.

"You are really lucky, you can make the third master take a fancy to him, and you can't call him an old man in the future. That's the elder I call Grandpa. Who is he...... I'm afraid I'll scare you by saying it. ”

Xiashan Hu didn't believe it, and patted his chest calmly: "Impossible, in the eyes of students, Master Hou, your identity is the biggest." When I first knew that my teacher was Du Xiang, I was not afraid. ”

Xiao Rui: "The third master, Li Yuan, is the emperor today, and he doesn't like loneliness in the palace, so he lives in Xiaojiazhuang to recuperate." ”

Thump......

The tiger knelt down directly, the emperor? That, that...... I even called someone old man? It's over, after so many days, will he hear about it by chance?

Seeing that the other party's face turned white with fright, Xiao Rui smiled and pulled him up, comforting him: "Okay, look at your appearance, I just said that I can deal with it without being surprised." Xiaojiazhuang does not talk about identity, only about family affection. Everyone in the village calls them Third Master, and you call them that. Just remember to be respectful, since you can be guided by his old man, it is your blessing, just don't be rash. ”

Xia Shanhu nodded repeatedly, "Mm-hmm, students remember." ”

Xiao Rui nodded and pulled him to sit down, "Tell me how you did it in the first place?" How did you get to Chang'an? ”

Thinking of the original life of nine deaths, Xiashan Tiger remembered deeply, organized the language, and then told his bitter experience.

After an hour, after listening to his tragic journey, Xiao Rui couldn't help but sigh, was he too ruthless at the beginning?

Then he shook his head, no, this guy was originally a damn bandit, but there were a lot of lives on his hands, and it was cheap to kill. Now that he can experience a hellish catastrophe, let him take off his skin, complete his rebirth, and live a new life, he should be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good.

"Study hard here, the people of Tanzhou are still waiting for you to go back and save it." Xiao Rui patted the mountain tiger on the shoulder.

The tiger nodded heavily with tears in his eyes. I never thought that I would be a mountain bandit and one day become an official and serve the people.

At night, the lights went out, Xiao Rui was in the room of the eldest lady Xiangcheng Princess, but the two were not in a hurry to get married, but they were both a little absent-minded, and it seemed that both parties had something on their minds that was difficult to say.

"The ......"

"Husband, I want to ......"

The two spoke in unison, although there were no candles, it seemed that both sides could see each other's embarrassed expressions, Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing.

Stretched out his hand to cover Xiangcheng's mouth, "I know what you're going to say, it's Li Tai's business, right?" Don't worry, looking at your face, I won't be serious with him. ”

Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, the fourth brother didn't dare to hurt his husband, Xu Datong wanted to kill you, but he didn't know." But he was so ruthless that he wanted to kill Wei Xiang, and the concubine didn't dare to face Sister Yan'er these days...... I also have to thank Fujun, if something really happens to Wei Xiang, then my family is afraid that it will be difficult for our family to live in harmony anymore. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and said with some resentment: "Yes, everyone is persuading me not to worry about Li Tai, but no one has thought about it for me." If Qingque really came at me and sent someone to kill me, I would not be afraid at all, but he should not touch Wei Xiang. Therefore, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, I saved Xu Datong, a substitute for the dead. ”

"From now on, everyone knows that this death row prisoner is in my hands, since Qingque has gone to the fiefdom, then he will be his king of Wei, and if he wants to return to Chang'an, he has to ask me if I agree!"

Yes? It turns out that husband, you don't want to kill Xu Datong...... But......

Princess Xiangcheng wanted to persuade her, but Xiao Rui covered her mouth, "If I don't kill him, I'm already saving face, don't persuade me to care at all." I know that he is a child, and because of this, he should be disciplined strictly, as a prince, if he grows crooked, it will cause endless harm. Since you have made a mistake, you should bear the corresponding consequences and responsibilities, and you must stand up for being beaten. ”

"It seems that I am ruthless and will be revenged, but this is really good for him, not blindly conniving and protecting."

Princess Xiangcheng's mouth opened, and she sighed: "Thank you, husband, the concubine listens to you." It's just that I have wronged you, so that my father and mother are afraid that they will misunderstand you. ”

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "That's right, if you don't let them annoy me, I really don't know what to do about Changle." ”

Changle? What's the matter with Changle? Princess Xiangcheng asked puzzled.

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly: "This is exactly what I want to tell you, alas, wronged...... It's hard to put into words! This girl, I suspect she's here to avenge me. ”
