Chapter 198 I will return with thousands of horses and troops (8)

"Go back and have a look, grandpa, and go again another day."

"That's right. I didn't bring any gifts today. I'll go visit the old general in person tomorrow."

After separating from Zhao Bang and others, Jiang Tang's carriage drove towards the general's mansion.

The General's Mansion is located one kilometer north of the imperial palace. Surrounding the tall and solemn General's Mansion are all the palace residences of some of the emperor's relatives. When Jiang Tang's carriage arrived at the door, an old man in a gray robe greeted him.

Chang Shan, the chief steward of the Jiang family and Mr. Jiang's lieutenant, stayed in the Jiang family to work after he retired when he got old.

"Master! Master, you are finally back!!"

Butler Chang's actions were obviously not as exciting as his tone. After bowing respectfully, he whispered to Jiang Tang: "Miss, the second master has been waiting for you for a long time. Do you want to go wash up first or go see the second master first?" ”

Jiang Tang got off his horse and strode towards the mansion with his silver gun in hand, followed closely by Chang Shan.

"Little... Master! I will prepare food and hot water for you, Master! You can't go to the backyard, Master!"

Jiang Tang didn't seem to hear anything. He walked all the way to the backyard door with a spear. An iron gate locked the back door. The iron gate was covered with weeds. Looking through the gap of the iron gate, he could vaguely see a desolate scene behind the door.

A touch of sadness flashed across Changshan's face, and he sighed helplessly.

"Sir, it's useless...the old man doesn't see anyone."

Jiang Tang said in a deep voice without looking back.

"Open the door."

"Young master, you...the old man doesn't recognize anyone now, and he might even hurt you." "It's okay, I, I...just want to try it, grandpa's knife, the knife is powerful, and it's mine—— The gun is powerful, open the door.”

Chang Shan looked at Jiang Tang, who was in military uniform in front of him, and felt a burst of mixed feelings in his heart.

Feeling distressed, relieved, helpless...

In my impression, their young lady is such a delicate and delicate woman, even her voice is soft and soft, as gentle as the spring breeze blowing on her face.

Now he has turned into this man, standing with a big sword and a spear in his hand. He has lost his daughter's coquettish look and looks just like a man.

The temperament around him is even better than that of Mr. Jiang, who has been on the battlefield for many years.

I still stutter when I speak, but it's okay after I get used to it.

Finally, Chang Shan took out the key and opened the door that had been sealed for three years.

"Ever since what happened between the uncle and the second master, the old man has been crazy. Until now, no matter who is close to him, he regards him as an enemy. Several servants were almost chopped into two pieces by him. Now no one in the house is the opponent of the old man. I There was really no choice but to lock the old man in the backyard and bring him food and clothes every day.”

"Uncle Chang, I heard that you and my grandfather joined the army together since childhood?"

Jiang Tang suddenly spoke, Chang Shan smiled and nodded.

"How long has it been... almost fifty years? Back then, I was a silly boy in Niushan Village. Your grandfather was the son of the local court captain. The former Liang Dynasty was about to be destroyed and the latter Liang Dynasty had not yet been founded. Your grandfather was known to be patriotic. I wanted to expel the Turks and revive the Qianliang Dynasty, but my family was so poor that my mother was starving to death. Your grandfather said at that time that as long as you join the army with him, each family would be compensated three taels of silver. At that time, I I joined the army for the three taels of silver. Unlike your grandfather, I had great ambitions. I just wanted to build a house for my mother in my hometown and get a wife... But as soon as I entered the army camp, it took ten years. I have never returned home. I have been through life and death for ten years. Your grandfather saved my life three times. From then on, I swear that I will follow your grandfather for the rest of my life. No matter life or death, he will be my big brother.”
