Seeing the Zhao family guard trying to get closer to him, Xu Xian quickly scolded: "Don't move, I will wipe his neck if he dares to come over again!"

The Zhao family guards quickly stopped, and one of the leaders stepped forward and said, "We are ordered by Duke Zhao to take care of his family members. Even if Duke Zhao is in a high position, we cannot allow him to kill people."

"Haha..." Xu Xian sneered and said: "You are all from the military. You don't know how to punish leaking military aircraft. I will kill him now, and it will be my responsibility to bring the lawsuit to Chongyuan Palace. You guys

If you kill me, someone will destroy your family."

The leader of the guard knew that Xu Xian was in control, so he begged softly: "Xu Linggong, just for the sake of marriage, please spare the third young master. If he is good or bad, I really can't explain it to Zhao Linggong when he comes back."

"You have been with Zhao Yuanlang for a long time, don't you know that he is the most important person in military law? Even if I kill this bastard, Zhao Yuanlang will not have the shame to say anything to complain about me!"

"Brother, show mercy!"

I saw Xiaocan shouting and running over. When he got there, he knelt down on the ground and begged with tears in his eyes: "Brother, Xiaocan knows that Lang Jun did something wrong. Please forgive him for Xiaocan's sake."

"

Zhao Kuangyi shouted for help again, "Xiaocan, help me, if I die, you will have to be a widow."

"Being a widow means being a widow. When there are too many good men in the army, you are afraid that the little silkworm will not find a good home. Even marrying a beggar is much better than following a wolf-hearted loser like you."

Zhao Kuangyi froze and suddenly turned his head, the fearful expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of resentment in his eyes, "If you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. In this regard, you are better than me. I will fall into your hands."

There’s nothing to say. Scholars can be killed and not humiliated. Just do it..."

Xiao Can quickly covered his mouth, and then kowtowed to Xu Xian, "He just spoke out of anger for a moment, begging brother to show mercy..."

Zhao Kuangyi gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaocan, if you didn't ask for him, he would no longer be the Xu Xian before. His blood would have run cold after killing so many people!"

"If Xiaocan's face is not easy to use, then add mine!"

Xu Xian felt the blade of the blade tremble slightly. He lowered his head and saw that Zhao Ningxiu had grabbed the blade with her bare hands and pulled the horizontal blade from Zhao Kuangyi's neck.

Xu Xian said anxiously: "What are you doing? Release your hands quickly!"

Zhao Ningxiu's face was full of sadness, "You can't live if you kill Hong Baoer's mother. How can I have the nerve to see my second brother again? I have never asked you for anything, so just promise me to spare him."

As she spoke, she put more force on her hand, and the blood slowly slid down from the part where the knife hand met, dyeing the shiny blade red and soaking Zhao Kuangyi's collar.

"Why this!" Xu Xian sighed and let go of the handle of the knife, letting Zhao Ningxiu take the knife. He helped Zhao Ningxiu up, "Let's go home!"

He turned to look at Xiaocan and said: "Xiaocan, please go home with your brother. He won't treat you well after such a thing. If you don't want to get married again, just stay at home. My brother and sister-in-law will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Zhao Kuangyi grabbed Xiaocan's hand and said, "Don't worry, Xiaocan. It was only after this time that I realized that you are sincere to me, and I will never let you suffer any injustice in the future."

Xiaocan raised her head and looked at Xu Xian slowly: "Brother, you said that I have the right to choose."

"Alas..." Xu Xian sighed helplessly and without saying anything else, he helped Zhao Ningxiu leave the Zhao Mansion.

When she got home, she immediately found strong wine and fine linen to bandage Zhao Ningxiu. The clear wine poured on the wound, which made Zhao Ningxiu gasp in pain and wrinkle her facial features.

"It's already warm. If such a big wound becomes suppurative, your whole arm will be cut off. If your arm is gone, you'll have to worry about how you will hold the child in the future. It's really your own fault!"

"You want to kill Tingyi, how could I not stop you!" Zhao Ningxiu's voice suddenly slowed down, "Lang Jun is never ambiguous when killing people. I never thought that Lang Jun really listened to my concubine's advice. Ting Yi

If you don't live with me, I will make it up to you. I won't hit you with a rolling pin or yell at you anymore. I won't go back to my parents' home anymore... Oops!"

Xu Xian tied the linen and said, "Just go back if you want. No matter how unkind I am, there is no reason for you to cut off contact with your mother's family."

"Seriously? Lang Jun doesn't hate Tingyi for betraying you!"

"That is also a matter between me and Tingyi. Could it be that because I hate Tingyi, I also hate Tingyi and Xiaocan too? This relative cannot be lost."

Zhao Ningxiu stretched out her arms and put her arms around Xu Xian's neck, "Lang Jun is such a magnanimous and great man!"

Xu Xian patted her back and said, "Don't give me a high hat, I'm afraid if I spare him today, he won't spare me when he gets rich in the future."

"Mr. Lang is joking. This is a world ruled by warriors. Even if Tingyi really has the ability to become prime minister, there is nothing you can do about it."

"Well, he can't be the prime minister!" Xu Xian added in his mind: "But he can be the emperor, so I have to tell him that he can't be the emperor."

The couple talked for a long time all night long before going to bed at three o'clock. When they woke up, it was already broad daylight. Only then did Xu Xian remember that he had to go to court, "Well, it's too late anyway."

He shouted outside: "Xu Lang, please go back to the camp and tell Li Mobai to go to the official department to ask for sick leave for me, saying that I have an arrow sore and can't get up."

Outside, I heard Brother Huan reply: "Young Master has returned to the camp. He said that he will stay in the camp and practice hard with the new soldiers from now on."

When Zhao Ningxiu heard this, she lay on Xu Xian's shoulder and laughed. Xu Xian asked: "What's wrong? What's so funny!"

"I mean, it's hard for Alang. The first time he comes home, he encounters all kinds of crazy things. This kind of people will probably frighten him!"

"Haha..." Xu Xian laughed loudly and said, "I'm afraid that's the case."

Zhao Ningxiu had difficulty with her hands, so she asked Brother Huan to buy some breakfast on the street, and Xu Xian went out to Lao Zhang's house. In the early morning, Lao Zhang had already started drinking from his wine bowl. When he saw Xu Xian coming, he called his daughter-in-law

Place a bowl and add wine.

"Don't drink. There are a few people who drank early in the morning. I came to see you for something important!"

"Hehe... What's this big deal again? I heard from Jiubao that you started another private salt business in Henghai. How much share do you want me to buy this time?"

"Bah! You can't spend all the money in your family in ten lifetimes, and you still want to take advantage of all the benefits in the world!"

"Haha... You can't blame me for being greedy. There's no such thing as too much money! Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Xu Xian smiled and said: "You also know that my status is no longer what it used to be, and I have made more enemies, but it is really inappropriate that I don't even have a bodyguard at home."

"I'm just kidding. Who dares to go to Happy Forest to try on your family? But the eldest lady often shows her face in Changle Building. Now that she has a red boy, the family really needs some protection."

Lao Zhang said reluctantly: "That's all, you just find a reason to get Jiubao out of the Red Scarf Capital and ask him to bring people to look after your home and nursery. With you as your backer, no one will dare to bully us even if you don't have an official position."

Home."

"You're overthinking it. Jiubao is the commander of the first battalion. It would be strange if he were willing to retreat."

Lao Zhang said happily: "Seriously! I've been a mess all my life, and my son has just turned twenty and is going to be a commander? God's ancestors have shown their power!"

Lao Zhang rolled down from the low couch, knelt and bowed in the direction of Daming Mansion, banged his head on the ground, and kept mumbling for a long time without getting up.

"Uncle Zhang, if you don't get up, I'm going to kick Jiubao off the recommendation list."

"You can't kick! You can't kick!" Lao Zhang got up from the ground and sat back on the chair, holding the wine bowl and said: "Have a drink with me! Otherwise, there is nowhere to vent the joy in my heart."

Xu Xian had no choice but to drink with him for a few sips before saying: "I was thinking about the veterans who retired from the army every year. They are skilled in skills and have rich experience in battle. Uncle Zhang is very experienced and can help me find ten or twenty people. The salary is

It’s indispensable.”

But Lao Zhang waved his hand and said: "You are wrong. The most important thing in nursing is loyalty, but the longer you stay in the army, the more problems you will have. You are also slippery in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and it is very easy to be deceived by outsiders.

You have to use your own people. Speaking of which, you have been leading the troops for a long time. There are no disabled men. It doesn't matter if you are blind or have a broken hand. Just dare to fight hard at the critical moment. If you can help the wounded soldiers to find a place, others will see it.

In my eyes, I will naturally be more loyal to you. Look at how many of those generals have unwounded soldiers."

"I have given adequate compensation to those injured brothers. I originally didn't want to disturb them anymore and hoped that they could live a more stable life. But what Uncle Zhang said makes sense."

"Hehe... It makes sense. You gave them pensions to drink to survive. No matter how much you drink, it will not relieve the depression in your heart. Those with wives and children are better off. If they are single, they will drink to death in a few years!"

Lao Zhang seemed to be inspired by this and drank the rest of the wine in the bowl in one breath. Only then did Xu Xian remember that he was a wounded soldier.

"Uncle Zhang, please don't get drunk. The problem is only half solved. There is one more important thing."

"Just say it, I'm awake."

Xu Xian saw Jiubao's daughter-in-law working in the kitchen and lowered her voice: "I would like to ask you to help me collect all the big and small things in the city, especially those in the officials' homes."

Lao Zhang patted the broken leg and said with a smile: "Then you really have found the wrong person. It's hard for me to walk like this. Can I help you find out something?"

"I don't want you to ask. A man named Zhang Bu'er will come to you later. It's just that they are all green-skinned gangsters who don't know their priorities. Uncle Zhang is sophisticated and knowledgeable. I need you to help me select useful information to hand over.

Give me."

Lao Zhang spit out the wine and said, "You want me to be the leader of a trader? This is a business worth a thousand dollars." As expected, normal people are very taboo about being a tradesman, so only a green-skinned gangster like Zhang Buer can't.

mind.

"Uncle Zhang, I don't ask you to inquire about military affairs or internal secrets. You can get clues about this kind of thing just by listening to people chatting in teahouses and restaurants." Seeing that Lao Zhang was still hesitant, Xu Xian said seductively: "Uncle Zhang, just do it.

Don’t you want the smoke from the ancestral graves to rise even louder?”

Lao Zhang slapped his thigh and said, "I'm done!"

————

Although the army has been back from Huainan for many days, there are still many soldiers who linger in the brothel and forget to leave. Wang Erbian is one of them. Whenever he has time, he will go to Mianhuasuliu.

The former secret prostitutes could no longer satisfy him. Now he frequented the most serious brothels in Jinshui River, where he stayed for many days at a time. Shangguan Shao had no choice but to send someone to look for him.

Shi San was the one who was sent to look for Wang Erbian. He went to the brothels where Wang Erbian often went early in the morning and searched for him one by one. He went to five or six brothels in a row and finally found Wang Erbian.

Wang Erbian reluctantly touched the girl's body twice before leaving. When he left the door, he complained to Shi San: "I just spent the night with Miss Ruyun, and I feel really reluctant to leave now. Why don't you go back and be with Shangguan?"

He said he couldn't find me."

Shi Sandao: "Shangguan got angry today. If I don't go back, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble."

"If he gets angry, he can still kill me. I am a loyal and brave person personally named by His Majesty."

Shi Sandao: "It was His Majesty who sent you a mission, saying that the Palace Front Division has recruited many new soldiers and wants you to tell stories of heroic deeds."

"Did you see that your Majesty has me in your heart now? How do you say that, Jane is in the heart of the Emperor! Since it is His Majesty's order, we cannot neglect it. Let's go to the front office now."

"You don't need to go to the Dianqian Division, just go directly to the camp in the Red Scarf Capital."

"Red Scarf Capital?" Wang Erbian chuckled, "There are many old acquaintances of mine in Red Scarf Capital. I heard that Xu Zhixian is back, and I just happened to go and catch up with him. Let's go."
