After finishing speaking, Mrs. Deng greeted Deng Ai and said, "Come here." Although the voice was soft, it was more majestic in Deng Ai's eyes.Deng Ai walked over obediently.

Seeing her son obediently walking towards her, Deng sighed inwardly.

Deng Ai's estrangement from Liu Feng just now, how could Deng not hear it.But this is something that can't be helped, although Deng Ai himself is grateful to Liu Feng, after all, Liu Feng has supported their mother and child for so many years.If you are not grateful in your heart, you cannot be called a human being.

But the fact that Liu Feng came in with the excuse of drinking tea that day still made Deng Ai heartbroken.Always thought that Liu Feng's heart was impure.

This is not a grudge, but a trace of stubbornness of a young man.Just a bad first impression.

Deng Ai has also met, and has already negotiated with Deng, and will pick up Deng Ai in three days.Thinking that the mother and son might have a lot to say next, Liu Feng pretended to cough and said, "Hey, ma'am, I'm in a hurry to recruit soldiers, so I'll take a step first."

When Deng heard this, she couldn't help but look away from Deng Ai who was obediently snuggling beside her. Looking at Liu Feng's expression, she guessed something.

Can't help feeling grateful, got up and said. "Leader General, go slowly."

Liu Feng asked Deng not to see him off, but Deng insisted on pulling Deng Ai to send Liu Feng out together.It wasn't until Liu Feng rode the black cloud horse and disappeared into the distance that Deng Shi took Deng Ai's hand and returned to the living room.

The mother and son sit opposite each other.

Looking at her son's resolute face, Mrs. Deng showed a rare sternness.He opened his mouth and said, "Why did you meet the Major General so far just now?"

Deng Ai was silent, but anyone could see the stubbornness on his face.

Deng Shi couldn't help sighing, and said: "I know you were puzzled because the major general pretended to be thirsty and came in to drink tea, but gave you a great favor. Send people back and forth to provide you with reading. With such a kindness, why should you be suspicious.”

Seeing the sternness on his mother's face, Deng Ai was a little dazed.He knew it was time to speak out what he kept in his heart, otherwise his mother would definitely blame him.

Raising his fist slightly, Deng Ai said softly: "Unlike my mother thought, the boy is not a person who doesn't know how to be grateful." After speaking, Deng Ai paused, and then said: "These years, the major general I ordered people to send Zuo Zhuan, Shen Zi, Han Fei Zi, Wu Qi's Art of War, Liu Tao and other books. After reading it, my child's mind is open, his eyes are wide open, and he understands a lot of truths. But the more he understands, the more sad he feels. .”

Speaking of this, Deng Ai showed a bit of reluctance and sadness on his face, looked at Deng with slightly red eyes and said: "The identity of the major general is the stepson of the left general Liu Bei. Back then, I gave this great kindness to you." , the purpose is nothing more than to support the dead, to cage confidantes."

"Even so, the child still accepts it. Because the child understands the truth, there is no such thing as a free meal in this world. When a person wins over with kindness, he must return his life. When the time comes, it must be the child who stays away from his mother to serve her. Therefore, there is always a trace of resentment in my heart." Deng Ai, who is ten years old, is no more than six years old, and he can already see Liu Feng's intentions.

There are many such examples in Han Feizi, Zuo Zhuan and other books.Coupled with Liu Feng's current identity, his intentions are ready to be revealed.

Raise confidantes, and cage confidants so that they can be used by them.

But this kind of thing is a fight, a willingness to suffer, there is no right or wrong.If there was no Liu Feng, according to the current world style, Deng Ai would never have come into contact with books such as Wu Qi's Art of War annotated by a great talent like Xu Shu.

So Deng Ai is still grateful to Liu Feng.But Deng Ai blamed Liu Feng again, because he had a premonition that when their mother and child separated, it must be in front of them.

Deng knew that his son was smart, but he never thought that his son was so smart and his mind was higher than that of ordinary adults.Ordinary people still can't tell the truth.

But there is no mother in the world who would not like her son to be smart, especially today she finally knew what Deng Ai was thinking and her final attitude towards Liu Feng.

Deng Shi smiled and said to Deng Ai: "Young eagles always grow up, and it's time for you to soar into the sky." After speaking, Deng Shi paused, looked at Deng Ai seriously, and said, "Just like you think, The Major General is here this time to pick you up."

"When?" Deng Ai asked with an unchanged expression.

"Three days later." Deng replied.

"The child is at home with mother."

"Ah."

After Liu Feng rode out of Deng's house, he came outside the village non-stop.After leaving the village, Liu Feng put the matter of Deng Ai behind him.

Three years ago, this matter was doomed to be nailed to an iron plate, so there was nothing else to think about.

The immediate priority is that he must recruit a certain number of soldiers within these three days.

In an open field outside the village, more than 100 middle-aged men gathered together.In front of these men was a wooden case with a roll of bamboo slips and a few pens on it.

Zhang Dao knelt and sat in front of the desk.There are more than ten soldiers in front of him maintaining order.Behind him stood Xu Tian and a white-haired old man.

These men should be all the strong men in Deng Village, and this old man should be the village chief.It's called Deng Fang.

Liu Feng set his sights on the old man. Apart from his gray hair, he also carried the vicissitudes of life and the wisdom to see through the world.

Liu Feng came on horseback, which also attracted the attention of the people present.

Xu Tian saluted Deng Fang apologetically, and walked quickly towards Liu Feng.

"Young General, the situation is not good. None of these strong men are willing to join the army." Xu Tian raised his fist and said to Liu Feng who had dismounted from his horse.

Liu Feng frowned, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation when recruiting some soldiers.

Although Deng Fang was gray-haired, he had sharp eyes and ears, and when he heard this, he smiled slightly and walked into the two of them.After getting close to Liu Feng, he bent over and saluted, "Young General."

This person is the head of the village and the head of the Deng Clan.At this moment, he was going to recruit a strong man from the Deng clan, so of course Liu Feng didn't dare to trust him.He bent over and said: "Old sir."

"Hehe." Deng Fang smiled, stroked the goatee on his chin with both hands, and asked, "Does the Major General know why the boys from the old man's clan don't want to join the army?"

According to Deng Fang's tone, he didn't come to stop the descendants of the clan from joining the army.Liu Feng's heart moved, he raised his fist and said, "Please show me the old man."

"The gentleman is afraid that the old man brought by the major general from the army?" Deng Fang didn't say it bluntly, but smiled and looked at some sweaty foreheads, who were trying to persuade these strong men to join the army. Zhang Dao, Dao.

"The old man is right. That man is an experienced official I obtained from General Zhang Fei Zhang." Liu Feng nodded.

"That's right." Deng Fang nodded clearly, and then explained to Liu Feng and Xu Tian's puzzled eyes: "Now it's not the same as before, Xinye is in front. In the early years, General Zuo first arrived in Xinye At that time, Xinye was very unstable. There were many lonely people, so as long as there was food to eat, some people would join the army. But now the situation is stable, and there is food to eat. Of course, the old man’s people are also grateful to General Zuo, But no one wants to join the army and stay away from home.”

After speaking, Deng Fang continued to look at Zhang Dao, and said with a smile: "But this gentleman is still using the method of conscription three years ago, but it is wrong."

Liu Feng was stunned and silent.Yes, when the people are stable, they are not willing to serve as soldiers for dinner.If he were Liu Bei, it would be much easier, as long as he gave an order, ordering each village to produce as many young men as possible.

But he has no such right.Liu Bei didn't give it to him.He was just given food to recruit soldiers.This is the sharpening ability that Liu Bei and Xu Shu said.

Liu Feng thought to himself.
