Chapter 395 395: Ten Crows Hengtuo (5) [Please double the monthly ticket]
“What’s that look in your eyes?”
Xu Jie looked at his cousin and his hands were itchy.
He was originally the young head of the family. This cousin lost his parents when he was young, and there was no suitable family in the family to adopt him, so the child was sent to Xu Jie. At first it was because they were of the same race, but after so many years, the relationship has become different.
They are cousins in name but more like father and son.
The cousin whispered: "Previously, when I said that I would serve as Duke of Wu, I would also take care of you, my brother, but you refused..."
As a person from Tianhai, I would give priority to serving as an official of Wu Xian.
This has been an unspoken rule over the years.
The Xu family also put a lot of effort into Wu Xian, asking for money and grain. Even Xu Jie, the head of the Xu family, wanted to serve Wu Xian. He wanted to serve Wu Xian to help his cousin, but he didn't Something wrong.
But this idea was directly rejected by Xu Jie.
The cousin had other ideas in mind.
Multiple bets are a routine operation for the family to make a living, not to mention that the Xu family started out as a merchant.
Even after several generations of business, the Xu family has transcended social classes, but the habit of "speculation" is deeply rooted in their bones. This habit is not only practiced by merchants, but also by those powerful and famous families. Putting all your wealth on one person and putting all your money into it is a very risky business!
He is still young and has plenty of time.
If Wu Xian can take advantage of the situation in a few years, it will still be too late for him to become an official again. Wu Xian is not in a hurry.
My cousin always thought it would be Wu Xian.
The result——
My cousin gave him to Shen Tang without any explanation.
Xu Jie said: "This moment, that moment."
The cousin muttered: "I don't like Shen Jun very much..."
Xu Jie didn't even bother to lift his eyelids: "Why?"
The cousin replied: "Oh, it feels like it."
He Yin and Shen Jun's reputation can be regarded as thunderous to him.
It’s just——
Incompatible!
Shen Tang has such a good reputation outside that when my cousin thinks of this person, a young man with red lips and white teeth, who is soft, sentimental and loves to cry, automatically comes to mind. No matter how good his personality is, he still lacks passion and determination and does things in a coy way.
He could almost imagine a future in which he would be drowned in the other person's tears. He didn't like those who cried the most.
Xu Jie glanced at his cousin.
"Give you two choices."
My cousin said happily: "What choice?"
"Become an official or pass away."
Cousin: "..."
The smile at the corner of his mouth gradually withered.
If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, Xu Jie would have wanted to ask for help.
He refused to let his cousin serve as Wu Xian, not because he wanted to make a big bet. In fact, he didn't think much about it at that time.
The rejection was simply due to the incompatibility of their personalities. The relationship under Wu Xian's account is complicated, how can a young guy have fun?
Furthermore, Wu Xian has many powerful people under his command.
How can a mere brat like him get ahead easily?
My cousin drooped his head and followed Xu Jie obediently.
He likes Wu Xian's one. He heard that Wu Xian dared to kill bandits single-handedly when he was young. He would hang the enemy's heads on trousers as trophies and walk around the streets as a true hero! What a man!
Xu Jie: "..."
He doesn't know whether Shen Jun likes to cry, but his protagonist Wu Xian really cries whenever he wants. Wu Xian's tears are as smooth as his knife for suppressing bandits. My cousin really needs to go to a place like Longwu to hone his skills.
Although he was unhappy in his heart, he still looked well-behaved and docile, and followed Xu Jie to meet the future lord.
His first impression of the lord——
How to say——
Except for the fact that her lips are red and her teeth are white, which is consistent with imagination, there is nothing else like "soft and waxy" or "sentimental" at all.
"Wenzhu, what is this?"
Shen Tang had already guessed the boy's identity, but he still wanted to ask politely to give Xu Jie a chance to introduce his cousin.
Xu Jie said with a smile: "Cousin Xu Quan, the words are explained."
The cousin also followed suit and saluted with clasped fists.
"Young man Xu Quan, I have met Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang thinks the names of this generation of the Xu family are interesting. The patriarch is called "Xu" and his cousin from the same clan is called "Ji".
However, the name is still easy to remember.
She looked at the young man carefully.
How to say——
Her first impression of Xu Quan was that she thought she saw a spirited young man whose attire was somewhat unconventional.
This is not to say that the young man is not good-looking. In fact, few brave warriors and literary scholars are too ugly.
The young man is full of energy, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
It’s just that this outfit looks like a rainbow.
The hair style is similar to Gong Xiqiu, with pigtails all over his head. At first glance, he thought it was Gong Xiqiu Fenqiu.
Seeing Shen Tang's eyes falling on his hair, Xu Quan smiled awkwardly and said, "This is imitating a certain senior."
"Senior?"
Xu Jie was helpless: "Shen Jun, you We know him too."
Shen Tang guessed: "Gongxi Qiu?"
Xu Quan asked in surprise: "Shen Jun knows General Gongxi?"
"...I know him, but how do you know him?"
Gong Xiqiu, who works under King She, and Xu Quan of Tianhai Xu clan, don't seem to have much to do with each other?
Xu Jie hummed and said: "This bastard went out for a trip without knowing the truth. He met Gong Xiqiu by chance and fell in love with him at first sight. After he came back, he imitated her dressing up. How could he not know if he only used his crooked brains? Want to learn from other people’s abilities?”
Shen Tang: “…”
To put it simply, it’s star chasing. If this world could offer rewards for betting, Xu Quan would definitely be at the top of Gongxi Qiu Tie's list. He would be willing to spend money just to watch his idols fight on the battlefield.
Seeing that Xu Quan seemed to want to talk, Shen Tang smiled kindly and said, "Just say what you want to say. There is no need to hold back here."
"How good is the relationship between Mr. Shen and General Gongxi?"
Shen Tang thought about it: "It's good, we can be regarded as life and death friends."
They are close friends in the mountains and rivers.
The people who understand each other’s music and art best in the world!
Xu Quan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Shen Tang winked at Xu Jie - since Xu Quan is Gong Xiqiu's fanboy, there is no reason why he should not know about her.
Aren’t her fights with Gong Xiqiu worthy of attention?
Xu Jie: "..."
To be honest, Shen Tang has been too quiet in the past two years. He is either at the office or on the way to the office every day, taking the lead in involution, so that he sees Shen Tang I subconsciously associated the other party with "government affairs" and completely forgot that the fight was fierce.
In fact, Xu Jie also forgot.
Not to mention Xu Quan who doesn’t care about anyone except his idol.
He sighed: "Wen Shi is still young and has an unstable mind... If it's a small mistake, Mr. Shen, for my sake, won't care about his child, but if it's a big mistake, don't worry about it. What kind of friendship should be valued? The punishment will be heavy. Although he is a disciple of the Xu family, he is also a warrior under Lord Shen. It is up to Lord Shen to decide whether he will live or die."
As soon as Xu Jie said this. It's a done deal.
Xu Quan looked more solemn than ever.
"Xu Wenshi, I have met my lord."
Shen Tang naturally smiled and accepted.
The cousins were also left to eat.
To be precise, it was eating in the government canteen, which was also the last time she enjoyed the food here.
Xu Quan couldn't help complaining at first that the reception was too shabby, but once he tasted it, he couldn't stop using his chopsticks and drank two buckets of wheat rice in a row. Seeing this, Xu Jie looked embarrassed and kept muttering: "I am a half-grown man living in poverty..."
I completely forgot that I was no better than Xu Quan in the beginning_(:з)∠)_
Xu Quan is not very old. After all, he is only two years older than Shen Tang.
Young people have more topics.
For example, Gongxi Qiu.
Xu Quan's eyes sparkled when he mentioned his idol, and nine out of ten sentences he said were in a roundabout way. Xu Jie occasionally wanted to interrupt, but Shen Tang stopped him with a smile, which made Xu Jie depressed.
I wish I could ask my family to give Xu Quan a beating.
However, Xu Quan will set off to Longwu with Shen Tang tomorrow, with an uncertain future.
When Xu Jie thought of this, he couldn't bear it, and Shen Tang also quietly found out the details of Xu Quan.
She knew very well that Xu Quan did not surrender voluntarily. He was escorted here by the patriarch's cousin. In other words - this was an involuntary "arranged marriage"! Shen Tang was not Xu Quan's favorite candidate, so his initial impression was naturally not high.
If you want to impress such a young man——
You must suppress his arrogance.
The two of them were still chatting about topics related to the feud between Gong and Xi. Shen Tang had already prepared various attack plans in her heart to make Xu Quan put down her "sense of superiority" as soon as possible - she was very There is a shortage of courageous warriors, but there is never a shortage of strong ones.
On the second day, the soldiers and horses were ready outside the city.
Shen Tang put on a smart outfit.
In two years, Shen Tang's figure has grown a lot, and he is no longer the pitiful height he used to be.
The young man's thin waist was strangled clearly by the squatting, his back was straight, and he wore a simple and bright long sword around his waist.
Qishan and the others looked at it with wonder in their hearts.
Among them, Jiang Sheng is the most popular.
On the day of the autumn harvest, he was told that his lord was a girl. He still couldn't bear to look at Shen Tang. At the same time, he also made excuses for himself - his lord was fourteen years old. If he were an ordinary woman, he would be born in another year. A haircut ceremony can be held.
Which lady hasn't shown her figure at this age? ? ?
_(:з)∠)_
Yes, Shen Tang is taller, but she doesn’t have any of the curvy and graceful features of a woman, nor does she have the excitement that she envied and longed for. Ups and downs, proud and unrivaled pectoralis major. Every time I could only look at Gong Shuwu and several generals, I was secretly envious and jealous.
Not to mention——
Every brave warrior is "proud and upright".
Gu Chi: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
At this time, my lord, don’t think about these strange things, right? Because Shen Tang is always broken So much so that Gu Chi couldn't help but go see Gong Shuwu occasionally. Are these people really so "arrogant and upright"? They were once suspected of having eccentricities...
Jiang Sheng rode on the horse and leaned over to whisper.
"...Gu Wangchao, you don't look cool." Normal.”
By the way, did you hear anything interesting?
Gu Chi: "..."
His colleagues also have problems.
What should he say about this kind of thing?
Before dawn, there were not only the army waiting in formation outside the city, but also the people of Fugu who spontaneously sent each other off. When Shen Tang came out on the snow-white motorcycle, the people burst into tears, their cries and sobs were continuous, and they were so sad that they almost died.
Shen Tang was also infected by the atmosphere.
Suppress the sour feeling rising from the tip of my nose.
Alas, how can human beings be ruthless even though they are not grass and trees?
Why is she willing to leave?
Xu Jie has already taken over the seal and ribbon of Heyin County Governor from Shen Tang, brought a pot of tea, and said: "I know Mr. Shen can't bear to drink, so I will drink tea instead of wine today. I wish you a bright future. The dragon enters the sea, and in the future it will soar into the blue clouds——"
"Thank you for your kind words!" Shen Tang drank the cup of tea happily, turned over and jumped on the back of the motorcycle, clasped his fists and smiled, "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will always flow. Heyin gentlemen, see you in the future!"
Suddenly, the sound of crying was loud.
Xu Jie's eyes were slightly red, and he bowed solemnly and blessed: "I wish you a long-term literary fortune and a prosperous military fortune!"
Shen Tang waved his hand without looking back and said with a smile: "That's easy to say. !”
Controlling the motorcycle with one hand, he ordered the army to set off.
More and more people from Fugu came to see them off.
Sent one way after another.
He kept stuffing his own things into the arms of the soldiers, including eggs laid by his own chickens and ducks, home-pickled vegetables, dry food made overnight, and winter clothes sewn... Xu Jiedai The officials in the government office looked at each other from a distance and were filled with emotion.
"If a man can win the hearts of the people while he is still alive, he will die without regrets..." Xu Jie was sure that if it was Wu Xian who was demoted today, there would definitely not be such a big battle. No, if it were anyone else in the world, the result would be the same.
All the officials wiped away tears and nodded.
Seeing this, Xu Jie felt deeply pressured.
But this scene also greatly encouraged him.
There are always some things that are more precious than benefits.
It was not until noon that the crowd of farewells gradually dwindled away, and Shen Tang also breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Quan, who was following her as a guard, was still frightened - he had never seen that send-off scene in his life. He only knew that the new lord had a good reputation and was praised highly by the people of Heyin. He was loved by others, but he had no idea of how to "praise" or how to "love" him.
Seeing it today was really eye-opening.
At the same time, his impression of Shen Tang was getting higher and higher.
At least, the new lord is really a good person.
Seeing that Xu Quan was silent, Shen Tang asked with a smile: "Do you miss your cousin?" It is indeed easy for a sixteen-year-old boy to get flustered when he goes out with hundreds of pieces to follow a strange lord.
Xu Quan shook his head: "No."
He was happy without the constraints of his cousin.
"...just thinking about those common people..."
Shen Tang: "Miss them?"
Xu Quaandao: "They don't seem to be afraid of brave warriors."
Don't think he didn't see it.
The brave warriors Gong Shuwu and Zhao Feng were almost surrounded by the common people who came to see them off, and they even cried and howled to persuade them to stay.
If Gong Shuwu hadn't escaped so quickly, the innermost part of the armor would have been ripped off by the common people...
Seeing that they could not be saved, the common people said that they would erect a monument to immortality for the two of them, every morning and evening. Two meals of incense were offered.
"That's because there is a rumor that has been rising in Heyin in the past two years - the common people believe that Ban Bu and Dayi are the reincarnations of the generals who serve beside the spring god Gou Mang and specialize in farming..." Shen Tang He was teasing and joking without any sense of being the "initiator".
Xu Quan’s pigtails seemed to turn into question marks.
Don't seem to understand the connection between the two.
Shen Tang said meaningfully: "You will understand later."
Xu Quan: "..."
There was an inexplicable foreboding feeling.
Shen Tang led his troops to Longwu County to take office.
It didn’t take long for the news to reach the ears of Wang Ting Zheng Qiao. He just frowned and raised his hand to wave away the messenger.
The beauty in his arms was brought to him by someone below. He was peeling the fruit with green onions and jade fingers and putting it into his mouth. Zheng Qiao took a small taste, but had no intention of savoring the taste. No matter how much the other party teased him, he did not show any signs of expression. Instead, his face became more and more complex. The colder it gets.
Seeing this made all the palace ladies and the beauties in their arms tremble.
I am afraid that Zheng Qiao will kill someone if he is displeased.
Who knows——
Zheng Qiao just asked: "What do you think he wants to do?"
"Who?"
Zheng Qiao said: "Senior Brother Gu."
The beautiful lady couldn't answer, and Zheng Qiao didn't expect her to answer, so he just let her go down in boredom. After a while , a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth came.
The face and eyes look very similar to Zheng Qiao's when he was young, but the difference is that the young man is much bolder and more arrogant than Zheng Qiao back then.
“My lord, why am I being questioned even when I come here?”
Zheng Qiao: "Senior brother's methods must be guarded against."
The young man was surprised and confused.
_(:з ∠)_
I found out that I had spores two days ago, and I tend to feel sleepy in the afternoon and after dinner. Alas
