Chapter 53 The Zeng Family
Jiang Xubai sat in the courtyard, cleaning the sword he was wearing.

In the sunlight, the sword showed a glimmer of edge.

His father's edict came down, and he was once again appointed as the chief general to go out. Wei Zhang, who was also in Jinguan City, was also appointed as the deputy general.

"Young master, General Wei Zhang is here."

Suddenly, Luo Xiaoyi's voice came from behind.

Jiang Xubai's heart moved when he heard the words, and he said without turning his head, "Let General Wei come in."

"Yes."

After Luo Xiaoyi withdrew, Wei Zhang rushed over not long after.

"Wei Zhang pays his respects to the young master."

Hearing this, Jiang Xubai looked back and saw Wei Zhang clasped his fists to him, smiled lightly, and said, "General Wei Zhang has finally returned on horseback?"

Jiang Xubai didn't mean to blame Wei Zhang, but just wanted to tease him.

Wei Zhang scratched his head in embarrassment, and said to Jiang Xubai embarrassingly: "The final general really likes dark clouds and snow, please forgive me, sir."

With that said, Wei Zhang hurried forward and helped Jiang Xubai wipe the sword.

Wei Zhang himself is not guilty, he just likes good horses, Jiang Xubai understands him.

Seeing this, Jiang Xubai stopped teasing and said instead: "The general should have received the king's order?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Wei Zhang's expression became much more serious, and he said, "This time, the son attacked Kang, no more than the rebels, he should be more careful."

"The main force of the Kang Kingdom is in Shaoliang. Although this time we are going on an expedition, it is like a tiger joining a flock of sheep."

What they need to pay attention to is still the decisive battle with Kang's main force.

The Six Miao Army made Jiang Xubai a little puzzled, how firm is the so-called firm belief...

……

Jinguan City, Zeng's family.

There are more than one Zengjiage Gardens, but Uncle Zeng's favorite is the Willow Garden.

The layout of the Willow Garden is not resplendent, but very elegant. Three rockery stands in the garden, and the spring water hits the stones, making a pleasant sound.

Uncle Zeng slowly picked up the pen and slowly wrote a few words on the new paper.

This new paper is very different from the previous cloth.

I don't know if it was Uncle Zeng's illusion, but he always felt that the handwriting became much more beautiful when writing on paper, so Uncle Zeng often used new paper to write.

He took out a piece of paper again, thought for a while, and then slowly dropped the tip of the pen.

The slightly yellowed paper is like the earth, and the ink is like mountains, one after another lone peaks emerge on the flat land.

The earth continued to vibrate, and after a pause, the mountains emerged again. With the stroke of the pen, the mountains were arranged neatly and orderly, forming a word.

【ginger】

"My lord, the third son has been appointed to send troops to conquer the country of Kang..."

The report from the servants did not stop Zeng Shuchang's pen, he dipped some ink and continued to write on the paper.

The servant who did not wait for a reply did not retreat immediately, but waited for the question from the person in front of him.

Sitting upright in front of the desk, Uncle Zeng's brushwork was very free and easy, leaving deep marks on the paper.

A shaman leapt onto the desk, its amber eyes fixed on the moving penholder.

In its small head, it was more curious about what the blurry thing in front of it was than the conversation between the two people in the room.

"The third son really has the guts..."

The relatively deep voice sounded, Xiao Feilian really didn't understand the conversation of these people, it communicated through the scent, and it liked the smell of the paper on the table more.

The rhythm of the movement of the pen is very familiar, this Xiao Feilian can see the movement of the pen every day, and the second word appears on the paper soon.

【Number】

The voice before the case sounded again, and Xiao Feilian's little ears moved.

"You go down..."

"Yes--"

The servants bowed their hands to Zeng Shuchang, then exited the room, leaving only Zeng Shuchang to practice with that Xiaofei.

Zeng Shuchang's pen and ink continued to dance, and the third character gradually appeared.

【White】

Looking at the Xiao Feilian on the table and putting down his pen, Zeng Shuchang stretched out his hand to hold it on his lap, and gently scratched Xiao Feilian's chin with his hand.

Xiao Feilian closed his eyes, and let out a comfortable grunt from his throat.

"Improving papermaking techniques, admonishing the construction of canals, poetry will win the first prize, talent is outstanding, and a word is worth a thousand dollars."

"The third son should be a perfect literati, but he has always hoped to establish his career on horseback..."

There was no one in the room, and Zeng Shuchang's relatively deep voice sounded slowly, as if he was talking to himself.

"It seems that the third son has a lot of ambition."

He lowered his head and said to Xiaofeilian, he could only talk to this Xiaofeilian in the whole room...

Xiao Feilian's eyes were closed tightly, and his ears trembled slightly.

Uncle Zeng turned his head to look at the two pieces of paper on the desk, one was written [Jiang Xubai], and the other was written [Jiang Xuzhen].

"Although the two young masters are closely related and love each other like brothers and sisters, in my opinion, the strategy of the third young master is the one who has lived under others for a long time?"

In his mind, Uncle Zeng still remembered the third son who wrote "The Difficult Road to Shu", who was completely different from His Royal Highness.

The name of the third son is known to more and more people in central Shu, will His Royal Highness be suspicious?Will the third son intend to seize the throne?
This is something that Uncle Zeng has been thinking about for a long time.

If one day in the future, the two parted ways, Zeng Shuchang would not be surprised at all.

At this time, the Zeng family's choice became very important.

After scanning the two names on the case, Uncle Zeng picked up the paper with [Jiang Xuzhen] written on it.

His Royal Highness has no good intentions towards the Zeng family, especially after marrying the Wang family, it is difficult for Zeng Shuchang to mend relations with him.

And the rise of the third son made Zeng Shuchang see an opportunity...

His Royal Highness is married to the royal family, so what about the three young masters?They might be able to do something...

Light the candle.

In this originally bright room, a little candle is not eye-catching, but rather nondescript.

Looking at Xiao Feilian in his arms, Zeng Shuchang suddenly asked: "Who do you think I should choose?"

How could a Xiaofeilian understand what he said?

After Uncle Zeng stopped scratching, Xiao Feilian stretched himself and jumped to the ground.

"Why don't I just add fuel to the flames and make them break up further..."

As if he had got the answer, Zeng Shuchang put the paper with [Jiang Xuzhen] on the candlelight paper.

The incomparably precious paper ignited rapidly and was thrown into the copper basin.

Uncle Zeng stared straight at the paper until there was only a smear of ashes left, then he looked away and looked at Xiao Feilian again.

Picking up the paper with [Jiang Xubai] shaking it, Zeng Shuchang said to Xiao Feilian mysteriously: "Do you think I chose the third son?"

"Hahaha--"

As he spoke, he quickly lit the paper in his hand, and then threw it into the copper basin. Seeing the paper gradually turning into ashes, Uncle Zeng suddenly burst out laughing.

Xiao Feilian was frightened and ran out of the room.

I don't know how long it took before Uncle Zeng stopped and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Whether it's the third son or His Royal Highness, as long as my Zeng family wins, then there's no problem..."

In the room, a deep voice slowly came out...
