Chapter 19 Identifying the Situation

When Hu Chen heard what she said, she couldn't help being curious: "That sick Wei Chi and Sun Li came to the door two days ago and said the same thing. How do you know that our Hu's house will be snatched by Zhu's house?"

Hu Sanniang snorted coldly and said, "Originally, when Brother Sun Xin told me, I was skeptical, but in the past two days, you have seen the appearance of Zhujiazhuang, and I heard that I want to marry to Shili Pai, and I came to the door every three days to force me to marry you." , if they have no ghosts in their hearts, why are they in such a hurry?"

"People are afraid that you will run away."

"Think about how they looked when they came to the door, wishing they could tie up their daughter with a rope, mother, do you believe this?"

"Forget it, I'm not sure about this matter as a woman, I'll tell your father when he comes back."

It was only when the sun was setting that they heard the footsteps of two people entering the courtyard from outside.

As soon as Hu Taigong entered the courtyard, he was out of breath, followed by his son Feitianhu Hucheng.

"Daddy, I really don't know about this matter. How could I have thought that Zhujiazhuang would secretly build Pantuo Road? Alas, they are really insidious. Daddy, you must trust me, I have no second thoughts ..."

Hu Cheng, in his thirties this year, is the first generation to succeed in this Dulonggang. Seeing his father's body decaying day by day, he has been trained by Taigong Hu to take over the internal and external affairs of Hujiazhuang.

But although Hu Cheng is the only son of Grand Duke Hu, Hu Cheng's character is rather weak and hesitant, and people often feel that he can't make up his mind. Under pressure, he only wants to prove his ability.

This time the marriage with Zhujiazhuang, many things were done by Hu Cheng himself. He also wanted to make a marriage between his younger sister and Zhujiazhuang. It would be much more convenient for him to do things after he took over Hujiazhuang in the future.

But several times when he went to Zhujiazhuang to talk about this matter, he was always carried there in a sedan chair at night, and he came back after getting drunk, but he didn't notice that Zhujiazhuang was secretly repairing the fortifications. Who would have thought that this Zhujiazhuang had secretly arranged for him.

Just now he and Taigong Hu went to Zhujiazhuang to have a look, and deliberately followed Sun Li's advice to go in through the front road. Sure enough, they found that on the hill in front of Zhujiazhuang, many layouts had been quietly changed. Although these changes were made very secretly, they couldn't be hidden from Hu Taigong's eyes.

Seeing this situation, Taigong Hu became angry instantly, and the people in Zhujiazhuang were also embarrassed. When Taigong Hu went in to drink tea, he hadn't had a fit yet, but as soon as he left the village, he scolded his son Hu Cheng.

"What are you talking about now? Can I still suspect that you are going to have an affair with Zhujiazhuang? You are so foolish. When this happens, you should first think about what to do to be serious!"

Just now, as soon as Mr. Hu arrived at the entrance of Zhujiazhuang, he checked carefully, and found that the Pantou Road can be completed in just one year. At that time, the Pantuo Road will guard Zhujiazhuang's south gate facing Liangshan. Zhujiazhuang wants to resist. Liangshan's invasion will be much more convenient, and Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, which are located in the east and west of Dulonggang, are easy to be looted by Liangshan.

From Hujiazhuang to the west of him, there are several mountains between Zhujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang. He may not know the fortifications of Zhujiazhuang, but Lijiazhuang in the east can see Zhujiazhuang's various behaviors. It's crystal clear.

And Li Jiazhuang not only did not contact them, nor did he go to make trouble with Zhu Jiazhuang.

Hu Taigong knew that although Li Ying's Lijiazhuang was in an offensive and defensive alliance with the two Zhuangzi, his Zhuangzi had the farthest way to assist Zhujiazhuang. When he saw this Zhujiazhuang, he began to secretly build his own When defending the city, most of them thought about being alone.

Anyway, Zhujiazhuang has decided to protect himself, and his Lijiazhuang is far away. If he encounters Liangshan bandits attacking the other two Zhuangzi, it may be too late to save him. Taigong Hu suspects that Li Ying, the flying eagle, will have this attitude now. When Liangshan called, he might have had an affair with the Liangshan bandits and let the Liangshan people go.

But Li Ying may be alone, but his Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang are almost connected together, there is no danger to defend, and when Zhujiazhuang is attacked, his Hujiazhuang will not be spared.

And if he doesn't help, he can't guarantee that Zhujiazhuang will not turn against the water in a critical moment, and he will join forces with Liangshan and Shuidongyin to destroy his Hujiazhuang.

Soon Taigong Hu made up his mind that it was absolutely impossible to betray Zhujiazhuang, but it was absolutely impossible for him to let Zhujiazhuang control his Hujiazhuang's power.

If he found out about this matter a few months later, the Pantuo Road in Zhujiazhuang has already been completed, and there is no bargaining chip between his Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang. Fortunately, Sun Li notified him in advance to let him know about this. For this matter, he had to show the attitude of Hujiazhuang.

"Our Hujiazhuang will also start to repair the fortifications, first erect three watchtowers on the road leading to Zhujiazhuang, and then raise the city wall, and immediately go to Jining Fucheng to find some capable craftsmen to set up defenses !"

"In addition, send back Zhujiazhuang's gift first, and don't mention the matter of marrying Zhujiazhuang in the future!"

Hu Cheng thought for a while, and asked distressedly: "If Zhujiazhuang doesn't accept the gifts we sent back, what should we do if we make trouble again?"

Hu Taigong clapped his right fist into his left palm, and said with determination: "Let's marry Sanniang out and see what they're going to do! Didn't Sanniang make a fuss about going to see Sun Xin? Let's just marry her to that ten-year-old girl." Sun Xin is on the card."

"This...the Sun Xin on the ten-mile card is worthy of our daughter!"

Hu Taigong sneered: "Did you know that when Sun Li came to propose marriage, he said that the matter of Zhujiazhuang's Pantuo Road was built only after Sun Xin reminded him."

"He, an outsider, found out the news at Shili Pai. You live next to Zhujiazhuang. You went there a few times in a daze and still didn't know anything. I think this Sun Xin is ten times stronger than you! "

Although Hu Taigong has been in poor health for the past few years, his reputation for fighting with two scimitars all over Shandong was not for nothing. At this time, there was a majestic power in his anger, which scared Hu Cheng no longer dare to refute.

Hu Taigong directly asked the housekeeper to go into the house and took out all the gifts that Zhujiazhuang had given before, checked everything clearly, returned a big red gift slip as it was, and ordered Hu Cheng to take someone back to Zhujiazhuang to withdraw the engagement.

Hu Cheng hurriedly left.

He messed up this matter, as long as Taigong Hu's body can hold on within a year or two, he doesn't want to take over the family business ahead of time, and now he just wants to make up for his mistakes.

Hu Sanniang, who heard the commotion outside in the small courtyard, immediately started shouting.

"Daddy, you can let your daughter go out!"

Hu Taigong waved his hand with a headache, and Hu Chen rushed to open the door for his daughter.

"Stop! It has been promised that you will marry Sun Xin, so you should follow the principles of a girl. How can there be a girl who has not left the cabinet and runs to her husband's house all day? Besides, it is dark today, you What does it mean for a girl to go to other people's house overnight?"
