Fisherman's Song Dynasty

On the way back, Xu Zizhen was still proud of the name he chose for himself. The Shenji Battalion was one of the three major battalions of the Imperial Guards in the Ming Dynasty. It was a special force in charge of firearms. all directions.

Of course, he would not explain the origin of the name to Wen Chengyan and others, he only said eight words: Gods and ghosts are unpredictable, machines can change everything!

Everyone couldn't help applauding the name he chose, but Xu Zizhen had no strength to argue with them anymore. After such a fierce battle during the day, he had almost exhausted all his physical strength. At this moment, he already felt that his hands and feet were weak and his head was dizzy. He had no doubt that if there was a bed beside him now, he would lie down immediately and sleep soundly.

The Five Hundred Shenji Battalion stayed here, and Bu Fen was appointed as the deputy captain, and he also stayed temporarily to look after his brothers. The horse thieves were used to being free, so he had to restrain them to avoid trouble.

He Liangliang went back to Guanshang first, and Liu Fengsui followed out of curiosity about the cannons. Finally, Xu Zizhen returned to Lanzhou City alone, and went straight to the magistrate's yamen.

It was completely dark when he entered the city, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. It has been nearly a month since he left Lanzhou, and there is still no change in Lanzhou city, and the yamen servants outside the magistrate’s yamen are still the same. Xu Zizhen greeted them despite his sleepiness, and hurried to his room, not in the mood to exchange pleasantries with them at all.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of changes here. The originally barren courtyard was now neatly tidied up, and the weeds and rocks were no longer seen. Although it was not the flowering season, the clusters of weak and green leaves still brought vitality to the yard. Xu Zizhen was stunned when he was about to step into the yard. His first reaction was that he had gone to the wrong place.

At this moment, the door of the next room suddenly opened with a creak, and then a pretty figure came out, holding a wooden bucket in his hand, his cuffs were slightly rolled up, revealing a piece of lotus root. Yubi is Xu Zizhen's maid, Kou Qiaoyi.

Xu Zizhen's heart suddenly warmed for no reason, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and he whispered: "Qiaoyi."

Kou Qiaoyi suddenly trembled all over, and her steps stopped, and when she looked up, she saw a face she had missed for a long time at the gate of the courtyard looking at her with a smile.

Boom!

The wooden barrel fell to the ground, and the water in the barrel splashed all over the floor. Kou Qiaoyi had tears on his face, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, is it really you?"

Xu Zizhen suddenly panicked, rushed over with a stride, held Kou Qiaoyi's small face with both hands, and said anxiously: "My little darling, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, don't cry... Is someone bullying you?"

Kou Qiaoyi had heard such a nasty title before, and her face suddenly turned red like a New Year's celebration, but she really stopped crying, and said with a low voice like a mosquito: "No one bullies you!" I, Qiaoyi, are just...just..."

She just didn't say the reason until the end, but Xu Zizhen understood that it was because she missed him.

Kou Qiaoyi was originally a lady from a scholarly family, with an elegant and refined temperament, and a shy and delicate appearance. Now under the pear blossoms and rain, there is an extra shy expression, Xu Zizhen can't help but look a little dazed, Staring blankly at her little face, he was stunned.

"Son..."

Kou Qiaoyi's face became more and more red when he watched him, as if he was about to bleed, she couldn't help but let out another low cry.

Only then did Xu Zizhen wake up, and shrugged embarrassingly, grabbed her little hand and said, "It's windy outside, let's go in and talk."

After entering the house, Xu Zizhen was taken aback by the sight in front of him again. When he left Lanzhou City, Kou Qiaoyi kept his house clean, but the house was in disrepair for a long time, and many places were already looming Dilapidated, but now the whole house looks like it has just been built, the walls have been repainted, the roof has been repaired, even the furniture has been wiped spotless, and the whole house is so new that it can shine.

Xu Zizhen was dumbfounded, and blurted out: "This... is this my house?"

Kou Qiaoyi said a little coyly: "Qiaoyi has nothing to do, so she tidied up a little bit. It will be the New Year in a short time, and the son's residence must have a new look."

Xu Zizhen was really emotional, before he had time to speak, Kou Qiaoyi seemed to remember something, took out a set of clothes from the closet, and handed it to Xu Zizhen with a blushing face.

This is an ordinary short suit, which is what Xu Zizhen usually wears. The cuffs and trousers are buttoned up, and he moves very neatly. As soon as Xu Zizhen received it in his hand, he felt something different. It seems to be loaded with something, a hard piece.

"What the hell is this?"

Kou Qiaoyi said: "Qiaoyi thought that the young master is used to beating people up close, so he asked someone to find a few pieces of pig iron, wrapped them in coarse cloth and sewed them on the elbows and knees, I don't know if it will be of any use to the young master. .”

Xu Zizhen was overjoyed, touching the places where the iron was sewn, the tentacles were indeed blunt, and it was fine to rely on knives and guns when fighting, but this suit would be of great use in close combat, no matter who If you get hit by this iron lump, you will get a big tumor even if you don't faint.

He sincerely praised: "It's useful, it's so useful! Tsk tsk, I don't know what kind of virtue I have accumulated in my previous life, to have such a beautiful and intelligent maid like you, who is as careful as she is ingenious!"

Kou Qiaoyi's face turned red again after he finally recovered, and he quickly changed the subject and said, "My lord, where have you been these days?"

Xu Zizhen smiled: "I have been to many places this time, please sit down first and listen to me tell you slowly."

Then he talked about the things after he set off from Lanzhou City. When he talked about happiness, Kou Qiaoyi was amused and chuckled. His voice gradually became low, and Kou Qiaoyi burst into tears when he said that Li Meng fell into the cliff in order to leave him with a sliver of life.

In the whole city of Lanzhou, Kou Qiaoyi is the closest person besides Xu Zizhen and Liu Fengsui. Li Meng would call her sister Qiaoyi when he saw her on weekdays, but she never expected that Li Meng just came back home, and can never come back.

Xu Zizhen sighed softly, reached out his hand to wipe away the tears on Kou Qiaoyi's cheeks, gritted his teeth and said, "I must avenge Xiao Meng, and I will not be a human if I don't destroy the San Jue Tang!"

Although Kou Qiaoyi is only a maidservant, she has heard about Sanjuetang. Hearing what Xu Zizhen said, she couldn't help worrying: "My lord, Sanjuetang is famous in Xixia and has great power. I'm afraid... I'm afraid you can't beat it .”

Xu Zizhen snorted disdainfully: "Big fart! San Jue Tang? Huh, I have never seen their names in history books."

Kou Qiaoyi was startled: "History book?"
