Borrowing Soldiers (2)

On this day, the sun was shining and the spring breeze was blowing.

The ancestor of the Chu family asked people to prepare a family banquet in the ancestral house of the Chu family, and then sat on the steps at the door of the Chu family's mansion in a daze, he was like an ordinary old man, with an empty sleeve in his left hand, under the blue sky, sometimes bowing his head in contemplation, sometimes looking up.

If he hadn't sat at the door of the ancestral house of the Chu family, the largest family in Baichuan, I am afraid that many people would have thought that he was just an ordinary old man waiting for his family to return.

He was waiting for someone, but not for family, relatives, or friends. Instead, he was waiting for his former allies, and he was ready to pay the price by refusing the Holy Pilgrimage's conditions of recruitment.

In his opinion, the Han family should not go too far. As for the Qin family, Baichuan himself has also given him a lot of help financially, and many of the descendants of the two parties have intermarried and become in-laws, and they will not embarrass themselves.

He sat from morning to afternoon, and his heart was shaken countless times, wanting to go to Chen Ping. Chen Ping and he are both smart people, and they both need to give each other time to make decisions, but in the end, he still decided to believe in a relationship that has lasted for many years.

Four Changhongs appeared in the sky, and the ancestor of the Chu family looked up, only to see the four Changhongs hovering in the air for a while, and then fell directly, his face changed, and these four people fell straight in front of him.

Chang'an forbids the imperial sword, which is a manifestation of strength, and people have to abide by it.

But whether it is a sect or a family like them, there are some conventions and rules.

The larger sects are so strong that they can directly let people hike up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, such as Shu Mountain. For a family like them, the strength is definitely not as good as the sect, but in order to respect each other, there is also a saying that whenever you go to the ancestral land, you must walk a mile to show respect.

Today, he held a banquet in the ancestral land of the Chu family, and he had already shown full sincerity, but he didn't expect the four of them to fall directly to the door.

This is still a great disrespect, and they don't take their Chu family in their eyes at all.

Thinking about the beginning, whether it was high-end combat power, economic strength, or the number and quality of soldiers, his Chu family was the strongest. Whenever the other three families had anything to do, they had to discuss it with the Chu family. Especially the Qin family, but the Chu family is the first to look forward.

But now, when the door is on the ground, I don't even want to walk a mile.

In this comparison, the Qin and Han families are far worse than Chen Pingke.

The Chu family ancestor's face changed, and then he changed back.

He is a person who can hide his emotions very well, especially in this kind of situation where people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat.

As soon as the Qin family's ancestor Fang landed, he immediately hugged him, looking extremely familiar, and kept saying: "Brother Chu, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately?" The bright smile on his face was not concealed at all.

The ancestor of the Chu family kept slandering in his heart.

"At the beginning, I followed behind me, a big brother, but now I am in trouble, I have changed my face inside, and I have become a little brother, which is really not ancient. ”

But he could only think about it in his heart, a smile still appeared on his face, and he kept saying to the two: "Little brother, meet the two elder brothers." ”

As he spoke, he bent down slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and invited the four grandmasters in.

Only after entering the old mansion of the Chu family, the ancestor of the Han family shrank his eyes.

This old man Chu is really rich, the water pavilion is stacked, the pond is cleared in front of the door, the small lotus in the pool has shown sharp corners, and a few red dragonflies are flapping their wings, occasionally leaving a ripple in the pool.

A few drooping children were playing by the pool, and when they saw the four living people coming to the house, they greeted them cordially. Maybe they didn't know that the purpose of these four kind-looking old men was to empty their home.

The ancestor of the Han family glanced at a few children with envy, he had two sons, the eldest son only had one son, as for the younger son, he had a headache when he thought of the old military doctor, this little son was not young, and he might really be lonely for a lifetime.

Although the Han family is the only emperor of the soil in Yuedi, he is too old to have another child, and as for his eldest son, it is extremely difficult for him to have any more children because of the exercises he has cultivated. Therefore, the huge Han family has become a single lineage.

"Brother Chu is really a blessing, full of children and grandchildren. The ancestor of the Han family said lightly.

The ancestor of the Chu family also knew the situation of the Han family, so he immediately said: "Although I have many children and grandchildren, they are all dung and grass, where is Brother Han, the children and grandchildren are all dragons and phoenixes among people." ”

When the ancestor of the Han family heard this, he stroked his beard happily and raised his head.

The ancestor of the Chu family led the four of them to a small courtyard, where the two old men were already waiting.

These two people are the elders of the Chu family, needless to say, of course, they are also grandmaster-level figures.

Although it was a family feast, the seven of them were alone in a small courtyard, separated from the others.

The sun set over the hill, and the moonlight shone in the pool, sparkling in the pool.

The sound of frogs rises suddenly, the evening breeze blows the lotus, looking from afar, laughter and laughter, a harmony.

The seven of them were also chatting casually, they didn't talk about their respective territories, they were all talking about some market rumors, or discussing a few words of cultivation experience, looking like the guests and hosts were happy.

Of course, they are all led by Qin Heizi and the ancestors of the Han family, and the people of the Chu family are all laughing on the sidelines.

Seeing that the weather was getting late, the ancestor of the Han family smiled, raised his chopsticks, and sandwiched a plate of beautifully made and fragrant meat. But the chopsticks suddenly paused in mid-air.

After all, the four ancestors worked together back then, and they knew each other's temperament very well.

When the ancestor of the Chu family saw this action, he sighed slightly in his heart: "It's time to come!"

Although he despised it in his heart, he was old and still playing this kind of little trick, but he couldn't help but take it.

Four grandmasters came from the two families, which showed that they were by no means simply here for a meal.

The ancestor of the Chu family did not have any expression on his face, and when he saw that the chopsticks of the ancestor of the Han family did not stop in mid-air, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Xian, what's the matter?"

The ancestor of the Han family put down his chopsticks and looked compassionate.

"Brother Xian, it's not that this food is bad, it's just that I'm eating delicious food here, and I think that my people in Yue Di are now in dire straits, and there is nothing to eat!" said him, and there was really a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.

The ancestor of the Chu family pressed his stomach and slandered: "This is more and more poor, you didn't do it yourself, what kind of sage do you pretend to love the people now?"

These words, if he said these words before he broke his arm, he could sneer and mock the ancestor of the Han family, but now that the situation is stronger than people, he can only bow his head.

"Brother Xian's heart of caring for the people moves the brother, if the brother doesn't mind, I can produce grain and grass and ten thousand stones, and fulfill the heart of the brother who thinks about the people and worries about the people. ”

The Han family ancestor was shocked on his face, and immediately said, "Brother Xian, how can this be done?"

Under some "shirk", the ancestor of the Han family "reluctantly" accepted the 10,000 stone grain with a red face.

Large families, after tea and dinner, naturally do not sit at the entrance of the village to chat like ordinary people, they are proud of their status, except for young people, other people will not go to the brothel to listen to a little song, enjoy the dance. Therefore, on every important day, they will go to the most famous brothel and invite the most skilled women to perform at home.

The seven of them were eating, and across the pool, a platform had been set up on the opposite side.

Suddenly, the warblers sang and danced, and those girls were wearing transparent tulle, showing their graceful posture.

The ancestor of the Han family glanced at it twice, and suddenly his expression was serious, and then his face was uncomfortable.

The ancestor of the Chu family sighed in his heart, he didn't know what kind of moth this old man Han was going to do.

But he knew that this old man was here to extort money, but he had to cooperate with him.

"Brother Xian, do you think this singing and dancing is not good?"

The ancestor of the Han family put down his chopsticks, sighed and said, "I don't think this song and dance is bad, but I think this song and dance is too good!"

"Oh, how do you say?"

The ancestor of the Chu family was a little puzzled.

"My soldiers are still guarding the city, but I didn't expect that someone from my Han is still dancing here, I get carried away!"

When the ancestor of the Chu family heard this, he cursed in his heart, "shameless old thing", and peeked at Qin Heizi, and found that although his eyes were watching the song and dance, when he heard the ancestor of the Han family speak, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a wicked smile.

The ancestor of the Chu family naturally knew the purpose of what he said, he ate meat and wept, begging for food and grass;

The ancestor of the Han family was scolded countless times by the ancestor of the Chu family in his heart as an "old fox", but he still had a smile on his face, and hurriedly said: "If Brother Xian doesn't mind, I can borrow 30,000 soldiers from Baichuan." ”

The ancestor of the Han family naturally "shirked" again, and "reluctantly" accepted.

The ancestor of the Han family, who got the soldiers and grain and grass, was full of red light, where was there still the tearful appearance of his eyes before.

But the ancestor of the Han family was obviously not satisfied with these small interests, since he stepped into Baichuan, he saw that there were abundant products here, everyone was dressed in brocade clothes and shoes, and his eyes were straight, he felt that such a good place should not be ruled by an old man with a broken arm.

After some conversation, he suddenly asked: "Brother Xian, you are full of children and grandchildren, I came in to take a look, but a young man in white dressed like a scholar has a good temperament, and the future will definitely be extraordinary, I don't know which one of the sons and brothers' diners is it?"

The children of some big families will raise some diners, most of whom are from poor backgrounds, but they all have outstanding characteristics.

As he spoke, the ancestor of the Han family pointed not far away, holding a folding fan in one hand, and the personable son.

Although the ancestor of the Chu family knew that this bad old man must be a bad stomach, he could only bite the bullet and say: "This is my eldest grandson, Fang is weak, and his name is arrogant." ”

The ancestor of the Han family suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "It's really extraordinary, Chu Tianjiao, it's really the pride of the sky." ”

Suddenly, he had a good way to annex the Chu family, not only did he leave no one to talk about, but it is estimated that someone will praise him for his benevolence and righteousness in the future!

The eyes of the ancestor of the Han family narrowed, and he looked at the ancestor of the Chu family and said, "This prince of Chu, it looks like he is not married yet, right?"

The ancestor of the Chu family smiled slightly, although the best way for the Han family to immerse themselves in the Chu family was to marry.

But as we all know, the ancestor of the Han family only has two sons and one grandson, and even if he wants to marry, there is no way.

So the ancestor of the Chu family smiled.

"Yes, Tianjiao, this kid, has been different from us since he was a child, he doesn't like to practice martial arts, he doesn't like to practice, he likes to dance and ink, and he has been shouting that he wants the title of the gold list, and he is even in the third yuan. It's a pity, now that the situation has changed, I'm afraid it's hard to achieve. ”

The ancestor of the Han family looked at Chu Tianjiao in the distance, then shook his head and said, "It's a pity. ”

"What's the pity?"

"I think that the heavenly court of the prince is full, and the earth pavilion is round, and he will definitely be a sage in the future. ”

The ancestor of the Chu family laughed so much that tears were about to come out.

This old man Han didn't know where to learn two words from a fortune teller, and talked eloquently again, what comes out of the poor countryside is from the poor country after all.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and he still asked with a little surprise: "I don't know why it's a pity?"

"Since your son likes to rush for exams, why don't you let him go?"

When the ancestor of the Chu family heard this, he immediately became vigilant, this was testing him!

"My son of the Chu family, how can I become the lackey of the Xuanyuan family!"

The ancestor of the Chu family snorted coldly!

The ancestor of the Han family smiled slightly, and immediately praised: "Brother Chu is noble! After the three of us brothers calm down the world, this Tianjiao will definitely become the head of the Wenchen!"

However, he immediately stroked his beard and said: "It's just that as the saying goes, 'self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world', our generation is the first to become a family, and then to start a business, this day is not young, it should be a woman to run the family." ”

The corners of the Chu family's ancestor twitched at the corner of his mouth, this Han family is really a thief!

"I also talked about him, but ah, there is really no good match, and he has his own plans, so he didn't rush it. ”

"This can't be done, how can there be no woman behind a man?"

The ancestor of the Chu family pursed his lips.

His Han family, he and his eldest son's wives are gone, and now they are still licking their faces and saying that they can't do without a woman.

"Who's to say it isn't?" he could only respond.

"I see, it's not because there are no suitable people, getting married, paying attention to a good match, there is no one equivalent to your Chu family's door in this land of hundreds of rivers!"

Immediately, the ancestor of the Han family smiled in his eyes, tilted his head and suddenly said, "We have been friends for decades, why don't we get married?"

The ancestor of the Chu family was a little puzzled.

"Brother Xian doesn't dislike it, it's naturally excellent, but I remember that Brother Xian only has Lin'er under his knees!"

The ancestor of the Han family laughed and said: "As long as the virtuous brother doesn't dislike it, I recognize a granddaughter named Han Yan'er, who is similar in age to Tianjiao, although it is not biological, but it is better than his own child, and he looks extremely smart." I, the Shadow Guard, will be handed over to her for the future. There was a lot of meaning on his face.

As soon as the Han family ancestor said this, the woman in black turned her head to look at him suddenly, and he immediately made a look.

"It's just...... In this matter, Tianjiao must agree. "The ancestor of the Chu family was a little panicked.

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. As long as you speak, brother, is there any reason why you can't do it?"

"But you have to get it...... Let the two meet. ”

The ancestor of the Han family saw the embarrassment and reluctance on the face of the ancestor of the Chu family, and said with a loud laugh: "Okay, okay, find a day and let the two of them meet." ”

After the two finished speaking, they chatted casually, and stayed until the night was getting deeper, and the ancestor of the Chu family sent the four out of the ancestral land.

The ancestor of the Qin family suddenly stopped and said, "I heard that Chen Ping came to Baichuan?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was nervous.

The ancestor of the Chu family gritted his teeth and said: "After seven days of hard work, when you come to the cold house again, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." ”

The ancestor of the Qin family smiled and looked at the ancestor of the Han family.

"This Chen Ping, he was also a character at the beginning, I don't want him to appear in my more place. From now on, there will be no more such people. The ancestor of the Han family said meaningfully.

After the four of them finished speaking, they turned into a rainbow and disappeared.

The four people in the sky stopped, and the Qin family ancestor smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards the Han family ancestor: "Congratulations!"

The ancestor of the Han family smiled slightly, and immediately said: "Brother Qin, we are happy and happy, as the two of us have said, in the end, you and I are divided into six or four parts, and this time it is so smooth, it all depends on the support of the brothers!"

Qin Heizi also smiled and said, "I don't want any of these grains and horses this time, but next time I ......."

The ancestor of the Han family immediately replied: "I understand, I understand." ”

......

Nanfeng, Council Chamber.

The ancestor of the Han family fell, his face was full of red light, and he smelled of wine.

He looked at Liu Chenglang and Lu Jiangqiao, who were studying the city defense map, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, in the near future, there will be 10,000 stones of grain and grass and 30,000 soldiers to help, can this Nanfeng be guarded?" He arched his hand towards Liu Chenglang, very respectful.

Ryu Seunglang nodded and did not speak.

The ancestor of the Han family laughed twice, and then disappeared.

Liu Chenglang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Lu Jiangqiao was a little puzzled.

"Isn't it a good thing to have soldiers and grain and grass?

Liu Chenglang pushed the wheelchair and took two steps forward, and then asked rhetorically: "Where do you think this grain, grass, and soldiers and horses come from?"

"Chu family?" Lu Jiangqiao was a little surprised.

Liu Chenglang smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, where do you think you came from?"

Lu Jiangqiao was silent, and finally slowly spoke: "Now that the strength of the ancestors of the Chu family has been greatly reduced, they will immediately turn their faces, which is really chilling!"

Liu Chenglang sighed and said: "Pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the essence of human nature. It's just that I didn't expect them to be so impatient. ”

"Don't look at the Chu family now as a soft persimmon, let them handle it, I'm just afraid that they will force it like this, and it's hard to say who the Chu family's army will help in the future. This Nanfeng is difficult to keep!"

......

In the Chu family's mansion, the ancestor of the Chu family had a gloomy face.

The Han and Qin families deceived people too much, and it was okay to ask for soldiers and food, but in the end, they actually wanted to use a righteous girl to meddle in the Chu family, which was really too deceitful!

He thought for a while, shook his empty left arm, gritted his teeth, and then said, "Follow me to see Chen Ping!"

Chen Ping has not left, he knows, he also knows, Chen Ping's is. He didn't expect that the Han Chu family would have such ambitions, but he didn't expect that Chen Ping would really arrive for him.

When he arrived at the inn, he wanted to find Chen Ping. But the shopkeeper told him that Chen Ping had left three hours ago.

The ancestor of the Chu family was in a hurry, and his face changed.

Now that the Han and Qin dynasties have bared their fangs, he can't offend the mad dragon who is far away in Chang'an, and hurriedly ordered the two grandmaster-level elders around him.

"Chase! I must invite Mr. Chen back!"
