Chapter 15 10 taels fell from the sky

"Brother?" Dong Xiaowan said in a low voice when he saw that Li Xin was just staring at him in a daze, his face turned red.

"Haha! Brother Fusheng, Brother Xin fell in love with Xiaowan at first sight!" Qiu Hejia laughed loudly, and Dong Fusheng also nodded, with a look of relief on his face.On the contrary, Li Xin's face turned red, and he secretly despised Xiao Wan in his heart. The Xiao Wan in front of him was still in the loli stage, and he had thoughts about her, she was simply a beast.

"I've seen my younger sister." Li Xin forced himself to be upright, and cupped his hands towards Dong Xiaowan, then sat down opposite Dong Fusheng, sighing secretly in his heart.In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, you may not know Emperor Chongzhen and Li Zicheng, but you must know the eight famous prostitutes in Qinhuai, and Dong Xiaowan is one of the top ones.What Li Xin didn't expect was that this Dong Xiaowan was actually his unmarried wife. The only thing that made people curious was that this Dong Xiaowan's family was well-off, and Dong Fusheng's ability to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to help Qiu Hejia recruit soldiers and horses was enough to illustrate this. What is the family situation of a person, such a family situation is finally reduced to a brothel, so it can be seen that something must have happened in it.

"When Brother Ren was killed, although I had asked someone to come forward, it was a pity that it was of no use. Fortunately, Brother Xin was able to escape safely and left a bloodline for Brother Ren. This is also the greatest fortune in misfortune I feel at ease here with my brother." Dong Fusheng coughed twice, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped his mouth lightly.Then retracted the sleeves, the movement was light and calm, but it was extremely fast.

"Uncle Shi, you!" Others didn't see it clearly, but Li Xin's sharp eyes saw it clearly, and there was a trace of red on the handkerchief faintly.

"Don't worry, it's just some old problem." Dong Fusheng waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Your brother is not in good health, why did you come to Liaodong! Just send someone over." Qiu Hejia also saw that Dong Fusheng was not in good health at this time, and couldn't help secretly annoyed.

"This matter has a lot to do with it. Elder brother needs tens of thousands of taels of silver to recruit troops. If younger brother doesn't come here in person, I don't feel at ease." Dong Fusheng waved his hand, showing a trace of exhaustion on his face.

"Uncle Shi traveled a long distance, and it was extremely hard. It's better to stay here for a while. After training, it's not too late to go back to Jiangnan." Li Xin thought for a while, and said with some worry.This time is different from later generations. Later generations have airplanes and trains, and it takes only two days at most to travel from outside the pass to Jiangnan, but now it takes several months to ride a horse to Jiangnan, and the road conditions are extremely bad, not to mention the bandits along the way , Even the bumpy road is enough to drag down a patient.

"Don't worry, these minor illnesses are nothing serious." Dong Fusheng shook his head and said, "I have doctors and attendants with me, and they will take good care of my body. But if you are here, Liaodong is a dangerous place. You Be careful!"

"Thank you, Uncle, for your concern." Li Xin had an ominous premonition in his heart. Men are the pillars of this era. Dong Fusheng is not in good health. The family business was defeated and had to enter a brothel.

"I heard that you were seriously ill a while ago, and you even forgot your previous memories?" Dong Fusheng asked again with concern.

"There is such a thing." Li Xin said quickly.

"In the end, he is in a foreign land and no one is taking care of him." Dong Fusheng thought for a while, and then said to Qiu Hejia: "Brother, I have a request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"Why should you be so polite between me and you, but if you ask for anything, you will always agree." Qiu Hejia frowned and said dissatisfied.Looking at Dong Fusheng's appearance, even though he has been ups and downs in the officialdom, his character has long been honed into various appearances by the officialdom, but at this moment he still feels a little guilty.

"I want to keep Xiaowan here so that I can take care of Xin'er. I wonder if my brother will agree?" Dong Fusheng thought for a while and said.

"Daddy!" Dong Xiaowan's expression turned miserable when he heard the words, and his almond eyes immediately turned red.Gently pulling Dong Fusheng's sleeve.Even if girls at this time are precocious, they get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and there are not a few people who have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but it is a child after all.

"This? Is this suitable?" Qiu Hejia was stunned, looking at Dong Fusheng and said.What he was worried about was other things. This Dong Xiaowan was Li Xin's unmarried wife. Not bad, but he had never seen a wife who came to take care of her husband before she got married!This is not in line with etiquette!
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. These have already been settled. If Xiao Wan is not young and Xin Ge'er has not yet fulfilled her filial piety, I would have thought that Xiao Wan would marry Xin Ge'er right now." Dong Fusheng didn't care He said: "Furthermore, although Xiaowan has not been married yet, she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Xiaowan also needs to keep her filial piety when her brother Ren is killed. Staying in Liaodong can be regarded as a kind of support!"

Li Xin was moved when he heard the words, the so-called icing on the cake can be found everywhere, but there are very few people who give charcoal in the snow.Although this Dong Fusheng was born as a merchant, he knew the word of keeping promises and he would not neglect Li Xin because he was reduced to a prisoner.He believes that the so-called personal escort of ten thousand taels of silver is all fake, and the most important thing is to come and see him.Such a sincere person is really rare.

"Hey! Since you said so, then do as you said!" Qiu Hejia also sighed deeply.Glancing at everyone in the hall, he said, "Old man, go and order someone to prepare Xiao Wan's place to live, and you two, Weng and son-in-law, talk to each other." Then he stood up, shook his head, and sighed deeply. Take a breath.

"Xiaowan, go to the back house now. I'll talk to Brother Xin." Dong Fusheng patted Dong Xiaowan's jade hand and said softly.Dong Xiaowan glanced at Li Xin.Then nodded, and went straight into the back house.

"Nephew, follow me around." Dong Fusheng stood up, his body was a little shaky, Li Xin hurried forward to support Dong Fusheng, Dong Fusheng nodded, and let Li Xin support him .The two left the flower hall and found a path to walk.

"Hey! Your body is broken. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come to Liaodong next time." Dong Fusheng sighed, "Xin'er, you have seen it too, Xiaowan will be handed over to you in the future."

"Father-in-law knows that his health is not good enough, so why did he come to Liaodong? Now he has to go back to Jiangnan in such a hurry, how can he do it?" Li Xin said slightly dissatisfied.

"My body, I know it myself. But have you ever thought about what to do with your future?" Dong Fusheng looked at Li Xin, his eyes were shining, and there was no trace of sickness.

"When His Majesty pardons the world, I will naturally go back." Li Xin said without thinking.

"Hehe, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me." Dong Fusheng glanced around, found a gazebo, and said with a smile, "You have a big heart, but to what extent, I don't know." , but I know that you won't just hand over your life to others."

"I don't understand what father-in-law is talking about." Li Xin was secretly startled, but his face remained unchanged.

"Mount Tai collapsed without changing his face. It's not in vain. I will teach you Wan'er now." Dong Fusheng nodded and said, "Governor Qiu asked me to see it in order to make me spend more money. His guards, hehe, I have never seen anything in my travels, even the training of the frontier army. Xiner, that guard must be a great warrior in the near future!"

"Oh! So Jiang Yi and the others actually have such a method?" Li's confidence thumped. He didn't expect that Dong Fusheng in front of him looked sick, but he had such a vision.

"Jiang Yi is calm, Yang Xiong is righteous, and Gao Meng is loyal. With these three people here, and with the guidance of an expert behind them, it is very difficult for this army not to become an elite soldier, and it is even more difficult not to be controlled by you." Dong Fusheng Glancing at Li Xin, he sneered and said, "You are a restless person."

"Father-in-law misunderstood." Li Xinxin was secretly surprised that the Dong Fusheng in front of him had a pair of piercing eyes, and he saw things in a close manner.Jiang Yi's method of training the army was taught by Li Xin. When he was in the martial arts school, the master of the martial arts school heard that after Yue Fei, he was not only proficient in martial arts, but also proficient in the way of battle formation. Li Xin got his teaching and passed it on. .Coupled with the training methods of the army described on the Internet, after tinkering, it is what it is today.

"No matter what you want to do, but remember that Xiaowan is a good girl. Don't let her down, or I'll be a ghost and I won't let you go." Dong Fusheng stretched out his withered right hand and grabbed her fiercely. Li Xin, although Li Xin was rough-skinned and full of courage, but for some reason, he felt a sharp pain at this moment.

"My child understands." Li Xin nodded and said, "I, Li Xin, will never let Xiao Wan down in my lifetime." Don't say that Dong Fusheng came all the way to visit him, betrothed Xiao Wan to himself, just for Dong Xiaowan's sake. Despite his reputation, he, Li Xin, would not let Dong Xiaowan be reduced to a brothel.

"Running an army cannot rely solely on rigor. Although I have never governed an army, I know how to be rewarded and punished." Dong Fusheng took out another stack of banknotes from his arms, stuffed them to Li Xin, and said, "This is 10 taels. The silver bills are from the Shanxi Bank, you just take them, although you have saved a lot over the years, you have also spent a lot, these things are considered Xiao Wan's dowry."

"Father-in-law!" Li Xin was really moved now.This Dong Fusheng treated him so favorably, on the one hand because he was Li Gu's son, but more importantly because he was his son-in-law.

"Listen to me." Dong Fusheng frowned and said, "Liaodong is not a place to wait for a long time. Now that the court is corrupt, you have to find a way out early. Your Uncle Qiu is still concerned about the old friendship, but the In the officialdom, there are many things that you cannot control. Sometimes, you must give up some things."

"Xin'er understands, please rest assured father-in-law." Li Xin nodded.Dong Fusheng also nodded when he heard the words. The Li Xin in front of him is undoubtedly not this kind of person. If Li Xin was such a person, he probably wouldn't be able to control the guard formed by Qiu Hejia.It shows that he is not the kind of person who sits and waits to die.

"Haha, you, Weng and your son-in-law are having a good chat!" At this time, Qiu Hejia led Dong Xiaowan slowly, with a smile on his face.Li Xin and Dong Fusheng also stood up, taking the opportunity of supporting Dong Fusheng, they quietly put the bank notes into their sleeves.

"Brother, just now I said that my brother has trained an elite soldier, but Xin'er dismissed it, saying that none of his soldiers are his equal. Brother, look at him, he is the opponent of those warriors." Is it?" Dong Fusheng laughed loudly.

"My dear brother, you are wrong." Qiu Hejia's face changed when he heard the words, but he laughed quickly, pointing to Li Xin and said: "I have never seen the brave old man of Brother Xin, but I know the name Gan Huzi outside Zhenguan was killed by him. However, my soldiers are not comparable to Gan Huzi."

"Oh! Xin'er is so powerful? Then I have to see and see." Dong Fusheng expressed surprise on his face when he heard this, and said, "Just now on the school field, Gao Meng told me about his young master. He is extremely powerful, even he is no match for him. I still don’t believe it? Now that my brother said that, I want to see Xin’er’s martial power. Xin’er, just now your uncle said that his soldiers’ martial arts skills are far superior to those of Gan Huzi Above, why, dare to compete with your uncle's guards?"

Li Xin was secretly moved when he heard the words, Dong Fusheng in front of him was sparing no effort to help him, running the army not only depended on rigor, rewards and punishments, but more importantly, prestige.If the coach does not have absolute prestige, it is undoubtedly impossible to command this army.However, Qiu Hejia's guards were trained by Jiang Yi and others according to Li Xin's instructions, and they already had the embryonic form of elite soldiers.The funds for this army were also provided by Li Xin's father-in-law, but Qiu Hejia and Jiang Yi knew about it, but the soldiers underneath did not know about it. In other words, Li Xin had no prestige in this army.Without prestige, how can you lead the army.To establish prestige in the army, on the one hand, it is to win battles, and on the other hand, you can use force to make these people submit to you.Li Xin has force, so he can have a full opportunity to establish prestige in this army, but it is a pity that Qiu Hejia did not give himself such an opportunity.On the one hand, he didn't want Li Xin to follow the path of a martial artist, because he despised martial arts from the bottom of his heart.On the other hand, it is inevitable to feel jealous of Li Xin.The three of Jiang Yi are Li Xin's subordinates. Once they have more contacts, it is inevitable that Jiang Yi and the three of them will lead the army to listen to Li Xin's dispatch.

What Dong Fusheng said was undoubtedly helping Li Xin establish his prestige in the army.Li Xin sighed secretly, this Dong Fusheng is definitely not a simple character.He probably saw Qiu Hejia's intentions, and it was because he was his son-in-law that he helped him like this.

"Your brother is not fully recovered yet, it's better to rest more. When your brother recovers, it won't be too late to let Xin'er and those soldiers compete." Qiu Hejia frowned slightly.

"Brother, I won't be here for long. It's good to take this opportunity to see Xin'er's demeanor." Dong Fusheng shook his head and said, "I want to see if Xin'er is bragging. Xiao Wan Let's go, let's go and see how you, Brother Li, swept away thousands of troops." Without waiting for Qiu Hejia to refuse, he stepped forward and took Dong Xiaowan's jade hand, and walked towards the school grounds.

"Uncle, what, what should I do?" Although Li Xinxin was grateful to Dong Fusheng and wanted to use his force to increase his influence in this army, he didn't want Qiu Hejia to know, so he could only be cautious. Looking at Qiu Hejia with embarrassment.

"Hey! Your father-in-law's heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper. The intelligence in his heart is not inferior to that of your father and the old man, but his luck is not good. He has no choice but to run a cheap business." Qiu Hejia looked at Dong. Fu Sheng's trembling body shook his head and said, "Go and try it! It's good to make him happy."

"Yes." Li Xin suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded.Whether you can subdue those **** depends on this time.Such an opportunity is rare, Li Xin does not want to be wasted like this.

Soon, Li Xin changed into a new outfit and came to the school field. At this moment, Qiu Hejia and Dong Fusheng were sitting under the dripping eaves, and Dong Xiaowan was standing behind Dong Fusheng, looking at the school with some worry. Li Xin came slowly.

But Li Xin didn't notice this, but was attracted by the powerful team in front of him.These men were tall and powerful, and Li Xin saw a glint of fierceness in their eyes.Standing together, there is a compelling momentum.It is worthy of being composed of big men outside the pass, and only such an army can be called an elite soldier.However, Li Xin wanted to trample these soldiers under his feet today.

"The person in front of you is the loyal empress of the Ming Dynasty. He is so brave that he is known as the reincarnation of Chu Xiang. The old man thinks that you are all elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, the master of tigers and wolves. However, this nephew of mine says that you are not his one. The old man didn't believe his enemy, that's why he put down the ring. Anyone who survived one round under his hands will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and anyone who survived ten rounds will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Hehe, if you can defeat me This nephew can get a hundred taels of silver." Caught off guard by Qiu Hejia, Dong Fusheng stood up, clapped his hands, and saw several servants coming dragging several trays covered with red cloth, Dong Fusheng He stepped forward and lifted the red cloth, only to see that there were white taels of silver on the tray.Glittering in the sun, everyone gasped suddenly.Even Qiu Hejia was amazed, this Dong Fusheng is so sure!

"Haha, the rest depends on your performance." Dong Fusheng pointed to Jiang Yi and the others and said: "Do you know who these three are, these three are your commanders, but no one knows, In the past, they were just Mr. Li's subordinates. Their martial arts were all trained by my nephew. I'm afraid it will not be easy for you to get this money!" Everyone burst into an uproar when they heard the words, but they didn't expect the three of them to The commander in the past was actually trained by the young master in front of him. If the martial arts of the commander is so good, how powerful should the young master in front of him be?All of a sudden, everyone's thoughts of competing for silver taels suddenly became much less.
