"Virtuous nephew, you're here, take a seat!"

Zhang Xiang changed his previous indifference, and invited Xi Dazhuang in with a smile, and after Xi Dazhuang sat down, he pretended to raise his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes that did not have tears, and sighed helplessly: "Ah Duo, it's not that my uncle deliberately snubbed you, it's really that my uncle is surrounded by people from the Queen Mother, so I didn't invite you to the house for the first time, and I ask you not to blame your uncle." ”

He looked at Xi Dazhuang with guilt on his face, and recalled the past with a complicated expression: "I remember that when I first saw you, you were just a five or six-year-old milk doll, and now you have grown up, time is like an arrow, and the past is over, which is really embarrassing." ”

He only said Xi Dazhuang, but he didn't dare to mention Xi Dazhuang's father, Xi Dazhuang said lightly: "Uncle saw me only a handful of times back then, and he dealt with my father on weekdays, and I don't know if my uncle still remembers the brotherhood with my father in the past?" ”

Zhang Xiang looked stunned, and then held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Back then, the Hou Ye gave me more support and treated me like a brother, how could I not remember?" It's just that now, I'm ashamed, and I'm really not qualified to mention him. ”

He looked at Xi Dazhuang with a melancholy gaze, and slowly spit out bitterness: "As human ministers, we always have a lot of last resort, don't look at my uncle and I are leading an army today, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact we are shackled by others." My lieutenant general, who is the queen mother's cousin, stares at me all the time, making me live like a caged bird. My wife and children are all in Kyoto City, and I really ......."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe his tears with a sad expression, rubbed his eyes red, choked up and said, "If I hadn't been controlled by others back then, how could I have abandoned the Hou Ye?" When the incident happened suddenly, I was far away in Dongzhou, and when the news came, everything was a foregone conclusion, and I had been living in guilt all these years. Even if I returned to Kyoto City, I didn't dare to go to Hou Ye, for fear that he would hate me and hate me. ”

Xi Dazhuang stared at Zhang Xiang with indifferent eyes, and only laughed slowly after a while: "Uncle, I see the affection between you and my father, and my uncle has nothing to do at the beginning, no one will blame you." It's just that I have no place to hide today, and I hope that my uncle will take me in. ”

Xi Dazhuang said very politely, Zhang Xiang wiped the corners of his eyes and raised his head, and smiled with satisfaction: "Ah Duo, where have you been all these years, is your sister-in-law okay?" I have been sending people looking for you all these years, and I am very worried about your safety, and now that you are in front of me intact, you don't know how happy I am. I wanted to bring you back to the mansion some time ago, but the Queen Mother's cousin stared too closely, so I didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Now that he has returned to Kyoto City to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, he has given you and my uncle and nephew a chance to get together. ”

Zhang Xiang said movingly, and pushed all the cold reception to Xi Dazhuang some time ago to the Queen Mother's cousin.

Xi Dazhuang didn't bother to wear him, cooperated with him in acting, and looked moved: "Uncle, it's really good to be able to get together with you." After all these years of desperation, my brothers have suffered countless deaths and injuries, and the court has exterminated us, I really have nowhere to go, so I have come to my uncle this time, and I ask my uncle to give me and my brothers a place to stay. I swear to the heavens that I will definitely look forward to my uncle, not seeking fame and fortune, but only seeking a way to live for my brothers! ”

Zhang Xiang was even more moved than Xi Dazhuang, stood up excitedly and walked in front of Xi Dazhuang, patted his arm vigorously, and said with red eyes: "Ah Duo, I have suffered you all these years." You are amazingly talented, you have great achievements, you are a genius boy, you should have fought on the battlefield and achieved a great cause, who would have expected such a disaster. You can rest assured, as long as I am in Dongzhou for a day, I will protect you for a day. In this way, a hundred years later, under the Nine Springs, I will have the face to meet your father! ”

"Thank you, uncle!"

Xi Dazhuang almost cried with joy: "If my father knows about it, I will definitely be grateful to my uncle for taking him in today." ”

Zhang Xiang arranged Xi Dazhuang to live in his mansion that night, and also instructed his henchmen to integrate the brothers brought by Xi Dazhuang into his own personal army.

Late at night, Wu Heng sneaked into Xi Dazhuang's house and said with a cold face: "This old horseman, obviously taking care of the young general, has arranged a lot of eyeliner around the young general's residence, and it is obviously easy to see what the hell he has to do. ”

Xi Dazhuang raised his eyes and glanced at the indignant Wu Heng lightly, and said lightly: "What kind of good bird do you think this person is?" It's just taking advantage of each other, and you don't have to be angry. I came to Dongzhou to replace him, and even if he didn't know my plans, he guessed that I was not a good person. He didn't assassinate me at the first time, because he was jealous, and when he lost his fear, it was when we broke the net. ”

His time was running out, as long as Zhang Xiang was sure that he was not dangerous and useful, he would kill him as soon as possible, and then ask the Empress Dowager who was far away in Kyoto City for a reward.

Therefore, he must control Zhang Xiang in the shortest possible time, so that he does not dare to act rashly.

Wu Heng is a rough man, there are not so many twists and turns, but he has full trust in his major general, and he seriously arched his hand and said: "Young general, what should the brothers do next, please give instructions." ”

Xi Dazhuang knew that Zhang Xiang had incorporated all the people he brought into his personal army, which was not only to monitor, but also to facilitate the capture of all the people in the future.

All this was in his expectation, naturally he would not sit still, he hooked his hand towards Wu Heng, Wu Heng mysteriously leaned over, and Xi Dazhuang's indifferent voice came from his ears.

Their voices were so small that no one could hear them, and after Wu Heng heard them, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said with high spirits: "The subordinates obey the order and guarantee to complete the task." ”

Then he flashed into the big room and disappeared silently into the dark night.

Wu Heng doesn't have many brains, but his light skills are almost the best among everyone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is superb.

Therefore, he comes and goes freely in Zhangfu, where there are many eyeliners, and will not be noticed.

Xi Dazhuang came to peace, after washing, he blew out the candle, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Not much.

The main courtyard of the house.

The eyeliner went to Zhang Xiang and said, "My lord, Xi Xiangduo has fallen asleep and there is no movement." ”

"No movement?"

Zhang Xiang wrinkled his brows, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Xi Xiangduo is insidious and cunning, perverse, ruthless, not good. This time, there must be some plan, and send someone to keep an eye on him! ”

Xi Xiangduo is an even more arrogant existence than his father, he was a fierce god when he was young, he once single-handedly rushed into the den of hundreds of bandits, and killed all the bandits in just one hour, and the blood flowed like a river.

Hence the nickname of a god.

"Yes, my lord, we will never let him out of our sight!"

Eyeliner is carefully guaranteed.

Zhang Xiang always felt uneasy in his heart, but Donglin Kingdom and Liangchuan had been eyeing each other for a long time, and the imperial court had no intention of sending troops to support, so he couldn't resist Donglin and Liangchuan on his own.

At this time, Xi Xiangduo came and gave him a glimmer of hope, but he was afraid that Xi Xiangduo would be out of his control, which made him in a dilemma.

I was so worried that my hair fell out a lot.

But......

He gritted his teeth, and a plan was vaguely formed in his mind.

After more than 20 days of tossing, the first batch of chicks and ducklings of the new year hatched seedlings, and Chixi's belly slowly showed her pregnancy.

Everyone in the village knew that Chixi was pregnant, and the villagers who had always been concerned about themselves brought their things to visit Chixi.

Some people take a few sweet potatoes, some people take a few potatoes, or some people take two bowls of rice, anyway, there are all kinds of things.

The family was really poor, so he went to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables and brought them to visit the pond stream.

Chi Xi accepted everyone's kindness and blessings one by one, and did not let everyone suffer, and let people help cook a meal to entertain the villagers who came to visit her.

The people of the village were full of praise for her.

Because of the expansion of the Xi family's business, almost every family in the village has someone working in the Xi family, so they naturally respect Chixi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Even Shen Tianzhu, who had been kicked by Xi Dazhuang for almost a month, came to Xi's house, and he said with an embarrassed expression: "Chixi, everyone in the village has come here to find work, and I don't have anything to do at home, do you think you can arrange for me to do something?" ”

He hates Xi Dazhuang, hates Xi Dazhuang ruthlessly, hates Xi Dazhuang for being ruthless, and hates Xi Dazhuang for being ruthless, but now every family in the village has earned money from Xi Dazhuang's family, and life has visibly changed for the better.

Before, he didn't want to come to Xi's house to ask for this mouthful of food, and he couldn't swallow that breath.

But the more time passed, the more he found that the gap between his family and the people in the village was getting wider and wider.

Every family in the village can eat eggs, but his family doesn't have it, and even Chi Tiegen, who used to be-for-tat with the Xi family, has now been arranged by Chixi to pave the road, so what reason does he have to put it on the shelf again?
