Kai Fu Han

Chapter 459
In Ruan Xiaoer's death, the Tong brothers were at fault.

Ruan Xiaowu's death was even more mysterious. A few of them went to pretend to surrender. Others came back, but Xiaowu was killed. It may not be so clean here.Others may not care, but their biological brother, Ruan Xiaoqi, will definitely think about it carefully.

Now that he has an opportunity to rise to the top and see the opportunity to avenge his two brothers, he will definitely not give up.

After all, the Southern Zhao court that used the Liangshan Army to kill two brothers was in the south, in Henan.

While talking, Ruan Xiaoqi was led in from the outside by his servants.

Chongchang walked to the side and stood aside, giving up the seat of honor to "Mr. Xiao!"

"General Xiao, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Meeting you today is indeed extraordinary!" Ruan Xiaoqi didn't know how to address the leader of the rebel army, so he could only choose a more neutral word.

"Brother Xiao, we are seeing each other. Our surname is Xiao and we are from the same family. How much older am I than you, so please call me Brother Xiao." Mr. Xiao warmly greeted Ruan Xiaoqi to sit down.

"Then please forgive me for being disrespectful, Brother Xiao."

"Hahahaha! Okay, okay!" Mr. Xiao looked up to the sky and laughed, very boldly.

After getting close for a while, seeing that Ruan Xiaoqi was already a little anxious, Mr. Xiao took the initiative to ask.

"Brothers, guard Jihe. I wonder if there are any casualties?"

"There are some people who were injured by arrows. Fortunately, with the medicine you provided, no one has died yet." Ruan Xiaoqi replied, his tone a little low. Even if these people injured by arrows recover in the future, it is very likely that they will recover. The working ability will also be sharply reduced, which cannot be compensated by some pensions.

On the second day of the siege, reinforcements from Wan Ting and Chengshi came over, but were attacked halfway by Ruan Xiaoqi and his men. Most of their men were lost, and many of Ruan Xiaoqi's men were also injured.After Chongchang found out, he gave Ruan Xiaoqi some of the wound medicine prepared by the Xinghan League prepared by Di Ting.

"Don't worry, the injured brothers can be left to me to arrange for them. If they have any sequelae, we will arrange an easy job for them to ensure that they will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives." Mr. Xiao reassured his brothers.

[I don’t know how long you can last. How about a lifetime?Take what you have to take first, then talk about it later. Ruan Xiaoqi murmured in his heart and said: "Thank you, brother, first. I wonder what the reward will be for Shou Jiang this time?"

"This is a simple matter. I have prepared it for you a long time ago. This time, most of the rich and gentry in the city were confiscated. My eldest brother has plenty of money and food. You can take it with you when you leave." Mr. Xiao promised again.

"Thank you bro."

"I heard that my brother is from Luli Village?" Mr. Xiao asked.

"Yes." Ruan Xiaoqi's pseudonym Xiao En is from Luli Village.

"What a coincidence, I am also from Luli Village. Can I know the names of the elders in my brothers' families?" Mr. Xiao looked excited: "Maybe we are actually brothers."

It was called a name when he was alive, and it was called a taboo after death.The name taboo refers to the name of an elder or a person you respect.

Ruan Xiaoqi is not from Luli Village. Fortunately, he has subordinates from Luli Village. Although his surname is not Xiao, he can still fool him: "I lost my father since I was young, and I was adopted by a family of my father's close brother. Taboo Ge Lang."

Ruan Xiaoqi's mother is still alive. Of course, a filial person cannot "curse" his mother in deceitful words, so he just skipped it. In this era, there are too many women who died in childbirth due to dystocia, so we skipped it. Mr. Xiao can figure it out by himself.

Ge Lang's brother's father has passed away, so he is called "Zunba". It's okay to call the brothers and fathers who worked together together, "adopted father".But Ruan Xiaoqi was stunned at the back
"What a coincidence. I know Ge Lang. He is my cousin. It seems that we are really related by blood. It is estimated that we are brothers four or five generations back." Mr. Xiao looked surprised. said.

"This..." Ruan Xiaoqi's face froze, and she couldn't figure out for a moment what Mr. Xiao wanted to do in such a way. Did he want to default on the bill?

"Since he is my brother, why don't I help you? Our rebel army is okay on land, but not so good on the water. It just so happens that my brother is a good hand on the water, and he is my brother, so come and be the leader. ." Mr. Xiao stood up, walked to Ruan Xiaoqi, and patted his shoulder: "I won't treat you badly, brother, I will give you the second position."

"This..." Ruan Xiaoqi was a little confused for a moment.

"Are you worried about 500 taels of silver? My brother said that he would not treat you badly, but he will also take advantage of your little silver. He will not only give you, but also give you more. The profits from the capture of Jiyin County this time will be given to you. One percent."

"That's not what I meant..." Ruan Xiaoqi waved his hand. He had already suffered a loss in Liangshan and did not want to fall into this point of no return again.

"Don't be too little. Although there are only 1 taels this time, there will be more later. Our Taiping Rebel Army is different from the previous Liangshan. We are not rootless duckweeds. We will take root in Jiyin County, and then slowly plot around. The capital of the state." Mr. Xiao deliberately interrupted Ruan Xiaoqi: "Now that the capital of the Puppet Qi is under control, the Puppet Qi royal family has been quickly killed, and the states and counties below are in disarray. It is the time to show off the heroes."

"I think my brother is a great hero. Our future destiny is up to us. Unlike Liangshan, who was recruited by Zhao Guo's court as a saber envoy."

When Mr. Xiao said this, it was as if he was unintentionally using Liangshan as a negative teaching material.

However, Liangshan was indeed used as cannon fodder, so it was not unjust.

The last sentence hit Ruan Xiaoqi's weak spot.

When he was in Liangshan, he always disagreed with the recruitment, but he couldn't defeat the big boss. This was why he played with the dragon robe.In essence, he is not a rule-abiding person.

"Brother, let me go back and think about it." Ruan Xiaoqi lost the momentum of being ready to refuse sternly.

"Of course, eldest brother is not the one who forcibly kidnaps people into gangs. Brothers can come and go freely." He said, taking Ruan Xiaoqi's hand: "Let's go, eldest brother invites you to dinner. We won't come back until we get drunk."

Unknowingly, there was an insinuation about Liangshan.

Ruan Xiaoqi was already confused and had no intention of drinking: "It's going to be a long time. Brothers are still waiting on the river, so don't delay too much."

"That's right, we can't enjoy the pleasure here while letting the brothers enjoy the breeze on the river." Mr. Xiao did not force himself and shouted outside the door: "Come here."

"Here!" A man walked in from the door.

"Inform the military advisor to prepare 2000 taels of silver for my brother, prepare some more food, and send someone to the Ji River." Mr. Xiao ordered.

"Thank you, brother." Although Ruan Xiaoqi has seen some of the world, he is still a little touched by Mr. Xiao's sincerity.

"The family doesn't speak two languages."

When Ruan Xiaoqi went out, ten large carts had been prepared outside. Except for one cart containing 2000 taels of silver, the other carts were filled with grain, as well as some meat and wine.
