Jinghong Tower

Chapter 229 Invite her to drink
Pingshanwei.

The man stationed at Pingshan was Xu Rong.

Xu Rong's father, Xu Jinli, and Fu Yansheng were both Wu Jinshi at the same time.

Fu Yansheng was highly regarded by the old King of Jin and was promoted to the rank of commander of the First Guard in his thirties. However, Xu Jinli was not so lucky. He died in battle at the age of thirty-three. When Fu Yansheng heard about it, he took his orphans and widowers to Jinyang. Xu Jinli's two sons also entered the military camp.

The two brothers repaid their kindness, worked very hard, dared to fight, and accumulated a lot of military achievements. Unfortunately, during the attack on Zhuozhou, their elder brother Xu Zheng had an arm cut off. He is still recovering from his injury in Tang County and will no longer be able to go to the battlefield in the future.

His younger brother Xu Rong took the post of general soldier and guarded Pingshan.

There was one thing that King Jin didn't know, not even Fu Yansheng knew.

That is, the two Mr. Fu are in Pingshan at this time.

The two of them ran away together as early as when they attacked Zhuozhou. Fu Yansheng felt sad, but in the face of King Jin's questioning eyes, he still said the word "break off the relationship".

The two Mr. Fu had already left the military camp, but what their father said still reached their ears.

In the past, they only blamed their father for neglecting their mother, but now they blame their father for his ruthlessness.

They wanted to return to Jinyang to honor their mother, but now the situation is tense.

They have a special status. Let's not say whether He Ran will spare their lives. Even in this Jinyang City, they cannot go back if they want to.

It happened that Xu Rong took the post of commander-in-chief of Pingshan, so the Fu brothers followed Xu Rong to Pingshan.

All this was done in secret, and even the people around Xu Rong didn't know.

After arriving in Pingshan, the Fu brothers rented a secluded private house and stayed closed in. Chang Sui would occasionally go out to buy rice, noodles and vegetables. Since they could not return to Jinyang, they would stay here to honor their mother.

At this moment, Xu Rong felt sad when he learned that Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao's troops were almost at Pingshan.

He Ran has spies, and the Jin army also has spies. This cannot be stopped.

Besides, when He Xiulong returned to Jinyang, He Ran not only went out of the city to greet him, but also entertained Jinyang celebrities with a banquet to build momentum for He Xiulong. This was what He Ran wanted to let the world know.

Therefore, like everyone else, King Jin, Fu Yansheng, and Xu Rong himself, after the Jin army invaded Baoding Mansion, all guessed that He Ran's next target was the capital. Of course, this was the previous capital.

And the person He Ran sent to attack the capital would definitely be He Xiulong.

Xu Rong has studied the female general He Xiulong. He was a descendant of the He family army in the past. Since He Ran is the descendant of He Jinghong, then He Xiulong is her direct lineage.

After He Ran raised his army, and before Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao appeared, He Xiulong's shadow was present in almost all battles.

In other words, He Xiulong was trained and promoted by He Ran.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, He Xiulong is also the first choice to attack the capital.

Xu Rong still couldn't believe his ears until he heard that He Xiulong went to attack Datong, and that the armies of Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao diverted to attack Pingshan.

Although Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao fought very well in the battle in Xinzhou, the two men had too little qualifications, and at most they were lucky. It is said that Zou Wenguang had just taken a concubine at the time, and he had a beautiful woman in his arms, so his mind was not on fighting at all. , which allowed them to take advantage of the loophole.

However, this is not something Xu Rong can change. What's more, in Xu Rong's opinion, it is better to have Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao come than to have He Xiulong come.

However, Xu Rong's thoughts are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When he handed it over, he realized that he had thought too simply.

For Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao, two young boys who were just starting out, their ability to kill Zou Wenguang, an old man, was definitely not just a matter of luck.

This battle caused Xu Rong great pain. Although he won a small victory, he could not be happy, but became even more depressed.

He could tell that Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao were just testing. They only used five points of strength, but he had already used nine points. Xu Rong had long thought of repaying Fu Yansheng's kindness with his life, but now he was worried about the Fu brothers.

He can keep the Fu family brothers safe in Pingshan, but what if he dies?

It wouldn't matter if Lu Zhen and the others couldn't get in. Once the Pingshan Guards fell and Ran's army entered the city to collect food from door to door or search for the remnants of the Jin army, the Fu family brothers would be exposed.

Although Fu Yansheng said he wanted to break off their relationship, in the eyes of the world, they were still Fu Yansheng's sons.

Xu Rong thought about it and called his personal attendant Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng is the son of the Xu family. If there is anyone Xu Rong trusts the most, it is Xu Sheng.

"Xu Sheng, you buy two children, preferably two girls or a boy and a girl. They should be younger, preferably no more than five years old, and the kind that don't remember much."

At this time, Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao were reading comic strips.

Jin Yang had just sent someone to deliver hundreds of comic books to them. They were distributed to the soldiers in the army. After reading them, they could also be given to the local people.

Of course Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao should watch first.

Because they were switching defenses a while ago, they haven't seen the comic strip for a long time.

There are three versions of the comic strip this time. In addition to "The Twelve Gentlemen of Loyalty, Righteousness and Courage", there are also "White Horses and Silver Guns Fighting Xinzhou" and "Northern Eagle".

After reading three books, Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao looked at me and me at you, then grinned and giggled.

The white horse and silver spear is Lu Zhen. As for the Northland Eagle, of course it is Jiang Tao. He comes from outside the customs.

"The two of us were also drawn in the book?" Jiang Tao still couldn't believe it. Although he had had such a dream, it was just a dream.

"Well, it's just the two of us." Lu Zhen said.

Jiang Tao looked around and lowered his voice: "Are these books still distributed to the following?"

Lu Zhen was puzzled: "Why not post it?"

Jiang Tao touched his head: "I'm so embarrassed."

Lu Zhen stretched out his hand to pinch Jiang Tao's face: "Let me see if this is a human skin mask and if you have been replaced."

Jiang Tao dodged and said, "No, no, look at the picture of me in this book. It's so handsome. If one of those boys accidentally loses it and lets the big girl outside pick it up, all of it will be lost." If you want to marry me, what will happen?"

Lu Zhen: "You need some face!"

Jiang Tao laughed, picked up the comic book, and couldn't put it down: "This painter is really good. When I return to Jinyang, I will definitely treat him to a drink."

Lu Zhen pointed to the comic strip in his hand: "There is the artist's name on the back of the book."

Jiang Tao quickly turned to the end, and sure enough, he wrote the artist's name, but he was just admiring his "grand beauty" and didn't pay attention.

"He Yamin? That's a nice name. By the way, what's your surname? Is it from Hejiacun? Why haven't I heard of it before? By the way, this name is for a girl, right?"

Lu Zhen: "When you were in Qingcang Mountain, you were either in Maple Ridge or in the deep mountains and forests. Do you know anyone from Hejia Village?"

Jiang Tao: "Who said that? I know Village Chief He!"

Lu Zhen rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Jiang Tao put down the comic strip in his hand: "That's it. When I return to Jinyang, I will definitely invite this He Yamin to drink. It doesn't matter if he is a boy or a girl. If he draws me so beautifully, he is my brother, my brother!" "
