CHAPTER XLIII

This tea shed is not big, there are three tables in the shed, and there are two outside the shed. In addition to tea, some snacks are also served, and the shopkeeper is a delicate and dignified yellow flower girl, eighteen years old, named Da Niu.

The guys are her two sisters-in-law, the eldest is called Erniu, and the younger is called Sanniu.

The big girl was steaming steamed buns, and when she saw a carriage stop, she thought it was business, and just wanted to say hello, but found that it was Zhang Qi'er's father and daughter, her face was happy, and she hurriedly introduced the four of them into the tea shed, and muttered softly to Zhang Qi'er: "You are really, why don't you let the guy send a message, I haven't prepared anything now, how can you let me greet the guests." ”

Yingchun listened and said: "We are not outsiders, what do we eat." ”

asked Lianzi to hand over the gift, and then introduced Zhong Lei.

Hearing that it was the chief manager of Tianbo Mansion who arrived, this girl was a little flustered and poured all the tea on the table.

Zhong Lei saw it and said with a smile: "This chief manager works in Pukou City, and in you, it is a family." ”

As soon as she said this, the big girl suddenly felt close to Ningshen, and she didn't panic much, took out a dozen buns from the steamer, put a large basin on the table, poured tea, and sat down to chat about home.

Zhong Lei took a bite of the bun and praised Yingchun: "This tastes good, it's about to catch up with the craftsmanship of the capital." ”

Then asked the girl: "How much money can you make a day when you do it here?"

The big girl shook her head and sighed a few times, and then said the bitterness in her stomach.

"This tea stall is too close to Pukou City, and not many people come to patronize it every day, and it only earns two or three dollars and silver taels every day. But there are still taxes, and scoundrels often come here to eat for nothing, but they can't afford to provoke them. That's it, after a month of hard work, it will only earn four or five taels of silver. ”

A yellow flower girl with two sisters, begging for a life in this wilderness, Zhong Lei is really relieved.

Besides, the buns made by the big girl are really delicious, so she immediately said, "Then what else to do? From tomorrow, your sisters will make steamed buns at home for the defenders of Pukou City to eat, and the silver will be settled with you for the Spring Festival. Well, I'll get this house when I go back to the city, and you can think about when you will get married. ”

The big girl suddenly turned red with shame, but Zhang Qi'er was stealing fun with her head, Yingchun smiled, thinking that her father had finally come to the end of his hardship.

Soon Tuba brought the old lady and brought two large camels and ten horses.

Yingchun took some family members to visit the night market, bought brocade clothes for Tuba and his mother, and then brought them into the wing room when he came back, and sent them to the maiden cook.

Zhong Lei set up a banquet in Yingtian Restaurant to catch the wind and wash the dust for Tuba's mother.

Who expected that the banquet had just dispersed, Zhao Hu and Wang Bao's families had also arrived, and Tianbo Mansion was lively again.

Ten less also has more Zhao Zhilan, Zhao Hongli, Wang Shuo, and Wang Quan's four companions.

Fortunately, Zhao Hu, Wang Bao, and Tuba came back in time, and someone came to touch the house at the third watch that night, so that the Mulan Army who was patrolling the night found out and hurriedly knocked the gong to call the police.

The sound of gongs was heard in the house, regardless of the master and servant getting up one after another, the hands of the martial arts holding instruments, the lanterns were lit without effort, and the soldiers and men were waiting on the main roads with bows and arrows, and the fourteen young men of the New Tianbo Mansion went to the Yunxiao Hall to protect the young master.

Tian Xiao and the Peony sisters were armed with short swords, and Shen Zhongyue and they were carrying lanterns and preparing to tear people apart.

Chen Hong's Mulan army, some with guns and some with knives, quickly surrounded the young master and the Peony sisters in the middle.

Coming to touch the mansion were the Hundred Poison Demon King and his twenty-three evil stars, the three-eyed strange road with seventeen hall masters, twelve master and apprentice of Huizhi, Fan Wenyan brothers, Lin Qingjian and his wife, Dongye Chasing Wind and twenty-four good hands of Juying Villa, five Shi Ruyu sisters, eight one-armed chivalrous brothers, Qiu Dahai and thirteen masters, eight children of Luoyang Yi Thief Iron Abacus couple, five Liu Wan brothers, and Ji Rufeng, Wen Chuci, Peng Sandao, Ouyang Jie, East Chasing Soul, South Dragon Head, West Demon, North Divine Sword, Middle Eagle Claw, Fan Wen, Song Lidu, Sun Zhaoyi, Huayi, Wan Wanqian, Bai Li。

These people had gathered in Jiangning City more than a month ago, but the Hundred Poison Demon King and his twenty-three evil stars had only arrived this afternoon, so they didn't come to the mansion until tonight to kill people in order to prevent future troubles.

But what they didn't expect was that if they started one day earlier, maybe the descendants of the old enemy ogre and Li Jiazhuang would also return to the west.

But unfortunately, tonight, as soon as I entered the house, I met Zhao Hu and his wife, Wang Bao and his wife, and Tuba, who had just arrived three or five hours ago.

Because Tianxiao was in the Yunxiao Palace, this big tear up was finally launched in the garden in front of the Yunxiao Palace.

Although it was in his own mansion, Zhong Lei's strength was too different from that of his opponent, and even Tianxiao found an opponent.

Fortunately, the ladies have a lot of unique jobs in their hands, and the fourteen young people in Xintianbo Mansion are newborn calves, and everyone has played with their lives.

Although there are many soldiers, the bows and arrows in their hands are not strong in the melee, and they are sent to death to fight, so they can only be anxious.

The most tragic is Shen Zhongyue's guards, in order to protect the young master from being attacked by sneak attacks, he fell down and pulled out again, it seems that the military men of Tianbo Mansion are loyal to the lord.

But the opponent is too much and too strong, although the people of Tianbo Mansion killed and injured the seventeen hall masters of the Haiyan Gang, the twelve monks of the Shaolin Temple, the two brothers of the Fan family, Lin Qingjian lost his wife, Juying Villa died fourteen good players, Shi Ruyu's four sisters all returned to the west, the eight of the one-armed man were all injured, and the Luoyang Yi thief iron abacus even the wife and children were all corpses, but the opponent still had an absolute advantage, and the people of Tianbo Mansion were so injured that they could no longer be injured.

Although the Tianxiao people are small, but the kung fu in their hands is in the stream, the people are small and big, smart and clever, and they can also walk elegantly when they are in the sword, and they can greet others with the technique of shifting the acupoints, although the skills are shallow, but the points on the acupoints will also make people numb, and they are a little afraid.

The West Devil made him click on the acupuncture points, and when his hand was numb, he roared: "Kill this rabbit cub quickly." ”

The Seven Demons of the Central Plains heard that they were coming from the oblique place, and Chen Hong saw that he was busy taking six Mulan military orders to block it, but he only heard "poof"

sound, Chen Hong and Mulan Jun, who were blocking the road, had already caused the Central Plains Seven Demons to fly out and pounce on Tianxiao.

At this moment, a few slaves rushed to save the young master from the oblique place, and they were also sent flying.

But the Mulan army pulled out one after another to protect the young master, and even the ring with the lantern in his hand came to block it, and after a while, there were so many corpses around Tianxiao that they were stacked.

"Don't come to die. See what your opponent means to kill me. ”

Although the young master was crying and shouting, the people of Tianbo Mansion were going forward one after another, and even the old mother came to protect the lord.

There are too many opponents and too powerful, and all the opponents who can fight in Tianbo Mansion can't be pestered to protect the young master, so they can only watch the subordinates and Yahuan pull out and fall down.

At the critical moment, five people fell from mid-air, and they knocked the seven demons of the Central Plains away, but they were crazy old ways, worry-free old monsters, carefree mother-in-law, Kunlun old monsters, and five of Mobei in Qigun Town.

"Who?"

Seeing that the Seven Demons of the Central Plains made people fly, the Hundred Poison Demon King hurriedly came over to take a look, but it was the old Venerable and the old monster who were the five of them, knowing that they couldn't take advantage of it tonight, and hurriedly greeted their companions: "Withdraw." ”

The crowd ran away from their opponents, hurriedly leaving behind their wounded companions and disappearing into the night.

"It's all chained. ”

Zhong Lei shouted, and the military man hurriedly found iron chains, locked up all the twenty-one injured opponents, and put them in the military barracks, guarded by heavy soldiers, for fear of being robbed.

Then the corpse was cleared, and when Yingchun saw it, Chen Hong died in Tianbo Mansion, thirteen family members, one hundred and ten military men, one hundred and seventy Mulan military sisters, more than thirty maids, seven cooks, four Yunxiao Hall slaves, three handymen, and an old mother.

In the battle tonight, all the Tianbo Mansion can fight has become an injury, and even Tianxiao was stabbed twice, and the crazy old man naturally couldn't leave, so he stayed with the old monster without worry, the mother-in-law, the old monster in Kunlun, and the five in Mobei of Qigun Town.

Life went by like this, and when Yue Xiaoxuan delivered three barracks, a horse farm, a forage field, a granary, and 20,000 sets of summer clothes and winter clothes on time, the four people who were outside also rushed back one after another.

As the master, Tian Xiao set up a feast in the Bibo Hall for the first time, not only for the five candies of the crazy old way, but also for Lei Long and Jiao Yi.

In addition to the guards and men, all the people in Tianbo Mansion were present, and the wine and food, laughter and laughter were very lively.

During the banquet, Tianxiao asked Yingchun to take 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and 5,000 taels of gold to send to the crazy old man, the old monster without worry, the mother-in-law of Xiaoyao, the old monster of Kunlun, and the five of Mobei in Qigun Town.

"Grandpa, you are my master, I won't say this thank you, if there are no five of you that night, my Tianbo Mansion will be in danger. I gave you the 100,000 taels of silver and the 5,000 taels of gold for you to eat, lodging, drinking, and drinking outside, and I would cry if you didn't accept them. ”

When the young master said this, Lei Long and the others asked their wives and children again, only to learn that sixty or seventy days ago, a large number of masters of the rivers and lakes attacked Tianbo Mansion at night, killing and injuring many people, even Chen Hong was gone.

"You Xiao'er. ”

Mother-in-law Xiaoyao pointed at the little prince with chopsticks and smiled, and said happily: "Don't scare people with crying, let's just accept it." However, I can't collect it in vain, when Tianbo Mansion wants to settle accounts with those turtle sons, I will come to Tianlongmen and squeak. ”

The old monster also said: "Xiao'er, my southeast hall is nearby, if you have something to do in the future, send a letter, don't be polite." ”

The old monster of Kunlun smiled and said, "You little brother, I am settled." If you have the opportunity, I will take you to Kunlun, and then I will give you a spirit ape that can only do kung fu. ”

Qigun Zhen Mobei said: "Xiao'er, you remember, I owe you a set of marksmanship, a thousand-mile BMW, and I will ask for it next time." ”

The crazy old man took the silver ticket and gold, and smiled at Mobei of Qigun Town: "Senior brother, your loose gown is worn on your body and is not warm, so take it off and wrap it in gold." ”

Qigun Zhen Mobei reluctantly put down the wine bowl, took off his coat and threw it to his senior brother, and said, "Don't swallow it alone, you old man." ”

The crazy old man put the silver ticket in his arms, handed the big bag containing gold to Mobei of Qigun Town, and said, "Senior brother, I know that your family is in urgent need of money, and all this gold belongs to you, don't laugh." ”

Tianxiao heard it and shouted, "No." I have honored you with this gold and silver, and I have bought wine and drank it. ”

Then he said to Yingchun: "Auntie, go and get another 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and wait for me at the gate of the house." ”

Then got up, and when the five crazy old people saw it, they all put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and hugged their fists to Zhong Lei, Zhao Hu and others to resign.

After that, the old monster of Kunlun carried the big burden containing gold in his hand and followed his master out of the Bibo Palace.

In the eyes of the five of them, Tianxiao is not just a little prince, they talk about "Xiao'er"

, is also a little brother, a friend worth making deeply, or someone who can share weal and beg.

Although he is still very young, with his current personality and atmosphere, these old men can boldly imagine that ten years later, he must be a person with superb martial arts and righteousness.

Laughing and coming to the gate of the house, Yingchun was already waiting there, and when he saw the young master, he gave him 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and went to the house to get busy.

Tian Xiao stuffed the silver ticket into the hand of Mobei of Qigun Town, and said with a smile: "You owe me a set of marksmanship and a BMW, don't forget." This 100,000 taels of silver is not for you, but for your family, don't spend it secretly. ”

I didn't think that this little prince would be so interesting, and the more I saw it, the more I liked it, so I asked: "Little brother, tell the truth to your mother-in-law, has anyone betrothed you?"

Tianxiao didn't understand what this engagement meant, scratched his head, blinked his eyes a few times, neither dared to nod his head indiscriminately, nor did he dare to shake his head.

"Grandpa, what does this engagement mean?"

The crazy old man smiled: "It's to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Tianxiao was stunned and said, "What do you mean by marrying a daughter-in-law?"

The old monster of Kunlun knew that Mother-in-law Xiaoyao asked in vain, so he said: "You old woman, how old is Jian Mei, so I thought about ordering a doll for her to kiss, isn't this a blind worry." ”

The old monster also said, "Yes." This child's business, let them go to the fate by themselves, and do the elders' care. ”

Then he said to the little prince: "Xiao'er, there is a small Mengzhuang outside Suzhou, and there is a little girl named Jianmei in this Xiaomengzhuang, who loves to use swords, and can also work lightly, which is very cute." If you pass through Suzhou one day, go to Xiaomengzhuang to sit, which is your mother-in-law's home. ”

Tianxiao nodded and said, "Since it is my mother-in-law's home, I will go to Xiaomengzhuang to sit without passing through Suzhou." Besides, Pukou is not far from Suzhou. ”

Mother-in-law smiled, gave a thumbs up to the old monster, reached out to touch the little prince's head, and left with everyone.

It wasn't until the five crazy old Daoists disappeared in the flow of people that Tianxiao entered the mansion and went back to the Bibo Palace.

Halfway through the way, he heard a fierce quarrel on his left, and he stopped listening for a while, and when he saw that the quarrel was getting louder and louder, he walked over with the sound.

When I got there, I realized that it was the Mulan barracks, so I walked in.

The three people who were arguing saw the little prince suddenly coming, and knew that it was their quarrel that led the master over, and they were just about to kneel down to greet him in fright, Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "No need." ”

Then he asked, "Who will sue me and why are you arguing?"

After the three of them looked at each other, one of them said: "Young master, since General Chen died that night, the Mulan Army has never been led again, and we are in charge of daily life." ”

Another person said: "Young master, we were originally General Chen's deputies and took care of daily life. But among the three, there must always be a head, right?"

The last person said: "Young master, the Mulan army can't be without a leader, whoever the young master lets be the leader, I will be the first to serve." ”

Only then did Tianxiao understand the reason for the quarrel between the three, so he raised his hand and scratched his head, and asked, "Mulan Army, how many people are there at present?"

The last person who spoke just now said: "There are three hundred and twelve people left in the old ones, and ninety-six people have been recruited in the new ones, not including us." ”

Tianxiao nodded and said, "So be it." The Mulan Army is temporarily divided into three teams, and each of you will bring one team, limited to half a year. At that time, I asked Uncle Zhong to come and see, and he said which team is the best, then the leader of which team will be the general of the Mulan Army, and the other two will be the deputies, do you think it's okay?"

The three of them nodded and called "yes"

, He smiled, and then said: "If there is anything in the future, don't quarrel, they are all from my Tianbo Mansion, and everything is easy to discuss." If it is difficult to solve, you can find Zhong Bo, Lei Long, Jiao Yi, or General Yan and the Feng brothers. Matters of silver, you can find my aunt. ”

The three of them listened and nodded, and it was still the last person who spoke just now: "Young master, in front of the detachment, we still want to recruit one hundred and fifty people, is it okay?"

Tian Xiao nodded and smiled: "As long as you don't quarrel, you can recruit as many as you want." ”
