As the days pass, from early autumn to late autumn, the weather gradually turns cooler.

Looking around, the previously lush green leaves have turned golden, like a golden carpet spread out on the earth. Occasionally, a cool breeze blows, and a few fallen leaves spin and fall to the ground.

Who could have imagined that underneath such a beautiful scenery, the world would be in chaos, with refugees rising everywhere and fighting against each other.

The three years of Taichu passed very quickly, and more than half of the year passed in the blink of an eye~

For ordinary people, they just live in such a numb way day by day. For soldiers from all sides, they wake up every morning not knowing whether they can survive the day.

The situation on Tianning Road and Jiaodong Road has become increasingly tense. The two sides are at war with each other, and there is a strong sense of war, but no one has taken the lead in starting the war.

Yan Zhang's son-in-law seemed quite leisurely. He was wearing a long robe. He found a long sword from somewhere and was gesticulating gracefully in the courtyard. Shi Hong stood motionless beside him with his hands folded.

Although Zhong Tairan became a general in the army, he had never been on the battlefield, so he learned a few tricks from several masters these days, and would do a few tricks on his own every day when he was free.

He thought that if one day he really went to the battlefield, he would have to know how to draw a sword and swing it, otherwise he would make others laugh and kill someone, as he wouldn't have the guts.

What is it?

The son-in-law who was favored by Yan Zhang has a weak foundation, but he has a good understanding. His current figure looks quite elegant and soft, his sword is shining, and every move is beautiful. A layman who doesn't know how to use it will probably think of him as a sword wielder.

expert.

But if you were a veteran on the battlefield, you would be able to tell at a glance that all of Zhong Tairan's movements are just a showpiece, not useful at all, and full of flaws. Moreover, in close combat, such a fancy long sword is far less practical than a simple scimitar.

"Pa bang bang~"

When Zhong Tairan demonstrated a move and sheathed his sword, Shi Hong clapped his hands at the right time and praised:

"Young master is really a prodigy in practicing swordsmanship. He has achieved such results in just a few months. The angle of swinging the sword is just right and the strength is mastered very skillfully.

I have seen many people practicing swordsmanship at Yuelu Academy, but there are only a few who can master the swordsmanship of Young Master~"

"Hahaha, your words are really pleasing to the ear. Not to mention, as soon as I hold the hilt of the sword, I feel that my whole body has become one with the sword.

Hahaha."

Zhong Tairan had a smile on his face and patted the scabbard like a treasure while talking.

This is what makes Shi Hong so endearing, his flattering words are just right and reasonable, making Zhong Tairan believe them to be true.

He is smart, can speak well, and can do things effectively. Anyone would like such a personal assistant.

"Is this the legendary fusion of man and sword?" Shi Hong said with a smile:

"That

Young Master really has to make those people from Yuelu Academy who have been practicing swordsmanship for several years feel ashamed.

It’s just that I’m thin and weak, so I can’t hold a sword, otherwise I’d have to learn two moves from the young master.”

"Hahaha! You can't be lazy, you still have to practice. When I am free, I will teach you. I am now a master.

Ha ha."

"Then I will thank you in advance, haha~"

The two of them chatted happily back and forth.

Zhong Tairan smiled and sat on the stone bench nearby. There was a soft and gorgeous blanket on the bench, and he was very happy.

Shi Hong handed a towel to Zhong Tairan to wipe his sweat, and said in passing:

"Sir, didn't you tell me a few days ago that my old man's legs and feet were not very good?

In the past two days, I have found a famous doctor who specializes in treating legs and feet. He is quite famous. Young master, do you think you should let the old man come over and give it a try?

I can’t guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease, but at least this famous doctor has cured many people and is not the kind of charlatan who sells dogs’ meat.”

"Oh? You are really thoughtful."

Zhong Tairan was a little surprised. Shi Hong remembered the few words he casually said a few days ago. He liked this guy more and more.

Moreover, his father's illness has always been a concern for him. Now that he is leading the army and has entered the political arena, he still has to rely on his father to take care of family affairs.

It needs to be taken care of.

Zhong Tairan waved his hand and said:

"Hey, since you have found a famous doctor, why did you ask the old man to come over? Why don't you just spend a lot of money to send the famous doctor to Hanzhou?

As long as it can be cured, money is never a problem."

When Zhong Tairan opened his mouth, he behaved like a son of a wealthy family and didn't care about money at all.

The Zhong family has countless properties, but the most indispensable thing is money~

"Ahem."

Shi Hong advised softly:

"Sir, famous doctors all have the arrogance and character of famous doctors. They are most uncomfortable with using gold and silver to measure them, which can easily arouse resentment.

And it’s a bit embarrassing to ask people to travel all the way.

Let's take the old man over and visit him in person, so that people can feel his respect and care for his illness;

Secondly, since the young master has been in charge of the army for so long, it is a good time for the old man to see the young master's prestige in the army, which also makes the old man happy.

Besides, the old man has been staying in Hanzhou City all day, so he must miss you very much."

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Zhong Tairan's eyes lit up: "Okay, you can send someone to pick up the old man, and bring my mother with him by the way.

Haha, I haven’t been home for a long time and I really miss you.

It just so happens that I want to introduce you to my father, who always loves talents. Don't worry, my Zhong family will never treat you badly."

This guy is cheerful, talking about Zhong Tairan's filial piety towards his parents.

There is no doubt that this is recognized in Hanzhou.

And what Shi Hong said was right, he had been in charge of the army for so long, and he had to show his father that he was no longer the young master who relied on the protection of his family.

"promise!"

The two hit it off immediately, and Shi Hong repeatedly praised Zhong Tairan's filial piety.

Zhong Tairan laughed out loud:

"Hahaha~ Okay, it's time for me to pack up and go to my father-in-law's house. We have to discuss the military situation tonight."

Zhong Tairan tilted his mouth, seeming to be a little tired of his busy state.

"Oh? What new moves did the Long Army make?" Shi Hong asked without leaving any trace.

"Harm, what can we do?"

Zhong Tairan muttered:

"It's just that the Long Army has been increasing its troops, but has not started a war. My father-in-law may not be paying attention~

Not only does this matter give my father-in-law a headache, but I am also confused about it."

There have been rumors that the two sides are going to war. The strings in everyone's hearts are tense, making Zhong Tairan a little numb.

If I want to hit you, just hit me, no matter how hard you work.

"Oh, so it's these things." Shi Hong responded casually, not showing much concern.

However, Zhong Tairan stopped wiping his sweat and asked:
Chapter completed!
