Jinghong Building

Xiao Ying won three consecutive victories and demanded 70,000 taels of silver from Xiao Wenyuan!

The Chang'an army finally retreated to Longxi County. Xiao Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He hoped that the Chang'an army would not cause trouble for the time being. He would free up his hands to deal with Xiao Ying's rebellious son.

Xiao Wenyuan held a grand celebration banquet in the palace, and Xiao Ying was full of energy and energetic.

Even his mother seemed to be ten years younger and refreshed.

Xiao Ying was surrounded by flatterers. In their opinion, Xiao Ying's position as the prince was already stable.

Xiao Wenyuan looked at all this silently and sneered in his heart.

He married his wife during the Wei Dynasty. His wife was born into a military general's family, and at that time he was still an unknown little flag official.

Although he was born into a large clan, his parents died since childhood, and his uncle occupied all the property in his family. However, he wanted to live under someone else's house. When he was fourteen years old, he made trouble in the clan and asked to take back the property left by his father. His uncle had no choice but to He had to find a military position as a banner official for him. He happily went to the military camp, but in less than three days, he followed the army to adjust defense and came to Daba Mountain. He stayed for three years and he would never return in his life. Go.

It was not until then that he realized that he had been fooled and that his uncle had sent him far away so that he could never get back the property left to him by his father.

So he used the military achievements he had accumulated over three years to ask the superior for leave, saying that he would go back to his hometown to get married, and the superior agreed happily.

He returned to his hometown and killed his uncle's family, and even his uncle's young grandson was still in his infancy.

After killing the man, he returned to Daba Mountain, but when he went back, the official document of the sea captain came over.

The commander found him and said he could help him. After all, the army had certain privileges in front of local governments. He also knew that the commander said he could help him, so he would definitely be able to do so.

He was about to kneel down and kowtow to the superior, but the superior stopped him.

The superior put forward the condition, which was to let him marry his daughter.

He was stunned at that time, the daughter of the chief’s family? He had met him and was a very beautiful official lady.

Such a great thing, how come it is a condition of exchange?

But he agreed immediately.

He and the chief's daughter got married soon. When they were in a wedding night, he felt something was wrong with his wife.

In the second month of marriage, his wife told him shyly that she was pregnant.

He pretended to be happy and privately bribed the doctor who was treating his wife. The doctor told the truth that his wife was four months pregnant.

He said to his wife calmly, "Our son will definitely be a big man in the future. Look, you are just pregnant and your belly is bigger than others."

The superior also fulfilled his promise, not only supporting him, but also providing him with evidence. In the end, the case of his uncle and his family was left unresolved.

Soon, he took his wife to Longnan with him, and he was promoted to a hundred households.

Soon, Xiao Ying was born. People in Longnan only knew that he had just married, but they didn't know when he got married. Therefore, no one knew that Xiao Ying was born seven months after they got married.

Longnan is indeed his blessed land. He has made many military achievements in the repeated suppression of bandits and became an ever-winning general with great military achievements. He also went from a hundred households to a thousand households, and later became the general of the country.

He is also versatile in the officialdom, and even Wu Dongming, who is far away in Yulin, came to win him over.

You should know that in the northwest, Wu Dongming is a god-like existence, but he did not become Wu Dongming's lackey like Meng Zhong. He has always been close to Wu Dongming. In this way, Wu Dongming wanted to take him into Use it yourself, and even take the initiative to marry him.

Over the years, he has been doing well and can come whatever he wants. The Wu family fell and the Meng brothers died, but he still stands tall.

Looking back on his half-life, the biggest shame is Xiao Ying, a bastard.

His wife later gave birth to two daughters. Although she knew that these two daughters must be their own species, Xiao Wenyuan didn't like any of them. Seeing them, he would think of the woman who cuckolded him.

Fortunately, those two daughters are of great value, and they are far more useful than Xiao Ying.

So what's the use of Xiao Ying?

He is indeed a bit talented in military affairs, but his mind is not right. The **** is a bastard, and he cannot keep even if he descends to earth.

Maybe the praises were too pleasant, or maybe the money earned from my father was too much and fragrant, Xiao Ying was drunk.

Xiao Wenyuan felt sorry for his son and did not send him back to the house, but asked him to stay in the palace.

To go to the palace courtyard where you are living, you have to pass through the garden. Xiao Ying was impatiently supported by someone, threw away the two palace maids and walked forward drunk.

Suddenly, he saw a beauty standing under the flower tree in front of him, and the beauty was waving to him with a charming smile.

Xiao Ying walked over staggeringly and hugged the beauty in her arms.

The two palace maids who were left behind suddenly heard the woman's screams. They ran over and saw Xianglan trying desperately to break free from Xiao Ying's arms and running past them crying.

They turned around and saw Xiao Wenyuan walking towards here with a few people.

Xianglan threw herself into Xiao Wenyuan's arms, crying so hard that the pear blossoms were in the rain.

Xiao Wenyuan asked someone to send Xianglan back. He looked at Xiao Ying who was vomiting under the flower tree and said nothing.

That night, Xiao Ying abused the palace maid and was killed by the palace maid. Then the palace maid hit the pillar and died.

Xiao Wenyuan rushed over and threw himself on Xiao Ying's body and cried loudly. His bravest son died so miserably. How could he not be sad when a white-haired man sent a black-haired man?

Xiao Ying's mother and uncles did not believe that Kong Wu's powerful Xiao Ying would die at the hands of a palace maid, but the palace maids who served Xiao Ying that night could prove that Xiao Ying was indeed killed by the palace maid. .

In the end, Xiao Ying's mother could only kill all the palace maids that night to vent her anger.

Xiao Ying's corpse was not cold, but the Chang'an army made a comeback. Xiao Wenyuan sent his general Zhen Ze. After more than half a month of fighting, he almost razed a small county town to the ground.

The battle report from the northwest is about to be sent to the capital every few days. He Ran looked at Zhong Yi and said, "How about Xiao Ying?"

Zhong Yi said, "I am arrogant, but I am indeed a talented person."

He Ran sighed: "I have heard that Xiao Wenyuan is ruthless and unintentional, but I didn't expect that he could be so cruel to his son."

Zhong Yi: "I didn't investigate carefully, but I suspect that Xiao Ying is not Xiao Wenyuan's biological flesh and blood."

He Ran smiled: "No wonder."

I have to say that Zhong Yi was right. Xiao Ying was indeed not Xiao Wenyuan's biological flesh and blood, but these are no longer important now. What is important is that the Chang'an army wants to gnaw Xiao Wenyuan's big bone with flesh.

He Ran said to Xiaoli, "Tell He Dali, help Chang'an Army if necessary."

Empress Dowager Man wanted He Shuting and Xiao Wenyuan to check and balance each other, but He Ran was the opposite. She wanted these two dogs to bite the dog, either bite one to death or both to suffer losses.

He Ran has a lot to do. The most urgent task is to deal with the small court of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The northwest is vast and the terrain is complex, and the infiltration of the Tatars. In addition to Xiao Wenyuan and Chang'an Army, there are more than a dozen large and small. If all the stock forces are to be completely destroyed, they will be at least ten years of success.

Therefore, it is better to have them fight hard than to form an alliance.

There were constant battles between big and big in the northwest, and in the capital, He Ran finally drank Zong Qi's wedding wine. Zong Qi and Lu Chang got married, and from then on, He Ran had a sister-in-law.

Now she and Zong Qi are nominal cousins, and she can be called Sister Lu Chang openly.

She was very happy that day, so she returned to Laomofang Hutong and wrote a letter to Zhou Cangyue.

She told Zhou Cangyue that her brother got married and she had a sister-in-law.

As I was writing, tears blurred my eyes. My brother finally got married, but my parents, grandfather and great-grandfather couldn't see it.

Never see it.

He Ran no longer remembers when the last time she cried, ten or eight years, or the previous life.

She sat in front of the easel and picked up her pen to make a painting.

This time, she painted a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, wearing bright red wedding costumes and smiling happily on their faces.

She wrote a line of small words below the drawing: He He Peng and Lu Chang's wedding, and He Ran's handwriting.

The ancients attached great importance to burial objects. With her identity, there would definitely be many burial objects after her death.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

She will take this painting underground. When she is excavated by archaeologists in the future, she will find this painting, which will definitely cause a sensation. If all this is parallel time and space, then modern parents will notice He Peng and He Ran. Name it.

After the painting was framed, she put it into a metal box.

When Zhou Cangyue received this letter, he was already in Yunnan in the southwest.

He received two letters at the same time. In addition to this one, there was another reply from He Ran to him during the Chinese New Year, along with the painting He Ran gave him.

There was no way, he had been marching before this, so the letter and the painting took four months to deliver it to him.

After reading the letter, Zhou Cangyue smiled foolishly at the painting.

Sister Ran still remembers how he looked when he was a child, and she has a grandfather in the painting.

He hasn't seen his grandfather for many years. He misses his grandfather, but he can't even dream of his grandfather.

He smiled and cried.

He was worried that his tears would make the painting bloom, so he put the painting aside and buried his face in his arms and started crying.

I don’t know how long it took, but the white dog patted his shoulder. Zhou Cangyue raised his head and saw that the white dog’s eyes were red.

"Why are you crying?" Zhou Cangyue asked.

The white dog pointed to the painting and said, "I only realized that someone loved you when you were a child. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo no one loved me."

"How do you know that someone was in love when I was a child?" Zhou Cangyue asked.

The white dog pointed at the old man on the drawing and said, "Look, this is your grandfather. He looked at you so kindly. I grew up so old that no one has ever seen me like this, woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-

Zhou Cangyue was even more sad. Yes, grandpa looked at him so kindly. No one except grandpa had seen him like this, and even his adopted father had not seen him like this.

The two hugged each other and cried loudly.

The guards outside looked at each other as they heard the crying sounds from the tent.

"What's wrong with the Grand Marshal and the Second General?"

"Why did you cry like a dead relative?"

"The adoptive father of the Grand Marshal is the old leader of the Beggars' Sect. Could it be that today is the old leader's death day, right?"

The old leader of the Beggars' Sect did not have a death date. According to the rules of the Beggars' Sect, he felt that his deadline was approaching, so he passed the position of the leader to the next one. After finishing the affairs of the gang, he found a place alone and died silently.

Unless they die in front of the brothers in the gang, most of the leaders of the Beggars' Sect don't have tombstones, and there is no denying day.

But Zhou Cangyue is the adopted son of the old gang leader. Others don’t know the old gang leader’s death day, but Zhou Cangyue is likely to know it.

So the two guards secretly recorded their days. They were all disciples of the Beggars' Sect and had been kind to the old leader back then.

So from this year on, every day, the two guards would secretly go to the intersection to burn paper. After being discovered, they learned that they were burning paper for the old gang leader, so the others also burned it together.

After Zhou Cangyue learned about this, although he was wondering how they knew about their adoptive father's death day, others burned paper on this day, so of course his godson would also have to burn it.

Therefore, this day really became the death day of the old gang leader.

In He Ran's second letter, he told Zhou Cangyue that her brother was married.

Zhou Cangyue is the only two who know He Peng in this time and space. Others only know that Zong Qi is a businessman and the leader of the Cao Gang, but only He Ran and Zhou Cangyue know that he was once an amazing soldier king.

If there is another person in this world who can share this joy with He Ran, then this person must be Zhou Cangyue.

Zhou Cangyue looked at this letter and remembered the boy who was collectively admired by the children in the courtyard. Who wouldn’t envy He Ran for having a powerful brother? Zhou Cangyue also envied that other children wanted to be He Peng’s younger brother, only Zhou Cangyue is not. He wants to be He Ran’s younger brother, and He Peng is too far away from him. He can’t reach it even if he stretches his neck, but Sister Ran said that he wants to cover him, so it is easier to be a younger brother for Sister Ran. .

Zhou Cangyue thought of these past events and wrote them in the letter.

There was a sensation of itching on his arm. Zhou Cangyue forced himself to finish writing the letter, and his arm was already red and swollen.

He cursed, there were too many poisonous insects here, and he gave more than half of the pills that Nong Liuniang gave him last time. The rest was originally thought to be used for a few years, but he didn't expect that the consumption in the southwest would be more and more. Soon, he can't bear to put it on his body. Just took off the sachet containing the pills yesterday, but today he was bitten by a poisonous insect.

As long as this poisonous insect bites, it will become red and swollen, and it will become suppurative as it is grasped. It will not be scabbed without ten days or half a month.

"It's time to eat, there's a chicken to eat today!" The white dog walked in happily holding a large tray.

They have not eaten meat for many days. Today they have finally got a few chickens and can finally get meat.

Zhou Cangyue was overjoyed. There was no beggar who didn’t like to eat chicken.

Compared with stewed chicken, he prefers to apply mud on the chicken and roast it on the fire, which is passed down from the Beggars' Sect.

"Hey, why do you still have mushrooms?" Zhou Cangyue said.

"This is called bacteria." White Dog corrected.

"Aren't mushrooms just mushrooms? Oh, are these mushrooms fried? Will they be eaten to death?" Zhou Cangyue asked.

White Dog: "It must be ripe. Don't worry, the locals eat all the food. If you can't eat it, you can eat it with confidence." (End of this chapter)
