The first thousand and ninety-four chapters find no friends

Guo Chong was the top scholar at that time, with a good appearance and a Confucian general. When patrolling the border, he was wearing a silver helmet, silver armor and white robe. He was called the White-robed Old Guo by the people of Daxia. The people of Daxia still respected Guo Chong very much. Since the White-robed Old Guo became the Strategic Envoy, he led his army to fight with the Daxia cavalry. He no longer knew how to defend the city like his previous Strategic Envoy.

Tang Jiusheng lived in Fuli City for three days. Guo Chong was going to leave Fuli City and return to Jiyuan County's Marshal Li Yiming and the Polu Commander Sun Qingming and others sent them out of the city. When they arrived at the gate of the city, Hong Fanlong laughed at Tang Jiusheng and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know anything. Our Marshal has taken a new wife like a lady, young and beautiful. If the adults don't see the young wife for a few days, they will not be able to sleep well!"

Seeing Tang Jiusheng looking at him, Guo Chong, who was nearly 70 years old, turned red for the first time, pretending to be angry and raised the whip, but the whip never fell. Guo Chong was a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Since his wife passed away from her before, I felt very desolate. When I met her last winter, I kept her by my side. Fortunately, she was a gentle person, who knew her love and passion. Then I felt that life had a bright future!"

Guo Chong told everyone about taking a concubine. It turned out that the concubine Guo Chongxin took was a young widow. Her husband died and was scolded by her husband's family as a husband's husband. He was insulted to do his best. The young widow died and could not go back to her parents' house. When she was desperate, she ran to the woods and hanged herself. She happened to be encountered by a passerby Master Guo, so she was rescued. After Guo Chong learned about the situation, he said furiously: "I will take her as my concubine to see if she can defeat her husband!" So he took the little widow Ru as his concubine.

Tang Jiusheng squeezed his eyes and smiled, "Uncle, this matter can be understood by all men! You don't have an old wife now, so it's understandable to find someone with a warm quilt. My nephew knows that my uncle has never taken concubines. The late emperor once gave you a few beautiful women. My aunt refused to allow these women to enter the house, and made a big fuss about it. It's well known that the uncle is also very shameless. Everyone says that the great Lord Situ of the Great Shang Kingdom doesn't even have a concubine! Now that I finally have a beauty to accompany you, it's a good thing!"

Guo Chong shook his head and said sadly: "Although she is jealous by nature, she is really good to me. It is probably two people who have been together for the rest of their lives, and no one can do anything without them! She was a wealthy family back then and she was doing her housework to make money to support me in school, so that I don't have to worry about my family's livelihood. Without any worries, I was lucky enough to win three consecutive years when I was young, become the hot new top scorer, and then I became the general and prime minister later!"

Tang Jiusheng knew that although Mrs. Guo was very jealous, Guo Chong also borrowed more from Mrs. Guo’s family. Mrs. Guo’s family was the Zheng family in Yong'an, which was also one of the families of the Shang Dynasty. Mrs. Guo’s wife, who was only a poor scholar, was also a keen eye for Guo Chong. Although Mrs. Guo knew all the jealous things about Mrs. Guo, the relationship between the couple was quite good.

When Mrs. Guo passed away the previous year, Guo Chong cried so hard that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, shouting that I was so sad! Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but secretly glance at the junior sister beside him, but saw Shui Ruyue's smile sweetly. Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but reach out to hold Shui Ruyue's little hand and smiled: "My junior sister is really good. She is beautiful and not jealous of my third wife... Cough cough..."

Shui Ruyue smiled and said, "My mother said, you men are only honest only when they are hung on the wall! We are also childhood sweethearts. I also know what kind of person you are. You are a typical person who loves new and never gets tired of old things. So you will follow you as many little wives you want to marry. In short, we are in love, and my eldest wife is in a position that is firm. If I tie you to my side tightly and you are not happy, then I will give you freedom. In the end, you will have to return to me? In my heart, there is, which of these families of princes and high officials are not three wives and four concubines?"

Tang Jiusheng praised: "The Princess is wise!" Shui Ruyue smiled sweetly.

Guo Chong privately called Tang Jiusheng not the prince, but still called him the nephew. Guo Chong said, "Nephew, I want to go back to Jiyuan County. How many days do you follow me to Jiyuan County? We must stay for a few more days. You are the prince of Xiongzhen, so we have less time to meet! Especially at my age, I am already in the twilight year. One day the wind is strong, the old candle will be extinguished!"

Tang Jiusheng looked back at Guo Chong's 200 personal soldiers and smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go to Jiyuan County to stay for a few days!" Guo Chong and Hong Fanlong were both happy. Shui Ruyue knew that Tang Jiusheng wanted to protect Guo Chong along the way. Although Guo Chong brought 200 personal soldiers and Hong Fanlong and others, there was another first-class master in the team, but he didn't care about the more expert Tang Jiusheng, right?

The group walked in a row, looking towards Jiyuan County, passing through the prefecture and passing through the county, and local officials were indispensable to welcome Guo Chong and Tang Jiusheng. After ten days, they arrived at Jiyuan County. If Jiyuan County was in the Central Plains, it would not be considered a Shangzhou, but it was already a big city on Longting Road. Although the walls were not as tall as Fuli City, it was also an important town with 8,000 soldiers stationed. After entering the city, Guo Chong went directly to the Marshal Ru and went to see his wife Ru. Tang Jiusheng laughed.

The next day, Guo Chong took Tang Jiusheng, Shui Ruyue, Hong Fanlong and others to inspect the military camp. Tang Jiusheng saw that the army of Jiyuan County was majestic and no worse than Fuli City, and couldn't help but praise him. Guo Chong sighed: "Nephew, since I came to Longting Road, I have focused on training and vowed to train the world.

The first-class heroic soldier! Not only to defend the country, but also hopes to one day be able to march north to Daxia!”

Guo Chong rode on the horse, pointed to the direction of the Daxia Kingdom, looking north and said, "Maybe I would not have the chance to conquer cities and plunder in my lifetime. I saw the day I defeated Daxia, but future generations always have to do this! Dashan has endured for many years and cannot always endure it like this, allowing the barbarians to plunder! One day, the Dashan army will take the initiative to attack, kill all the fragments of Daxia Kingdom, and include the territory of Daxia in our Dashan territory! Nephew, the future of Dashan is on you young people!"

Tang Jiusheng replied with a tight reluctance: "That's right! We have endured enough, and we must avenge all the national hatreds! This time I went north to Daxia to save Yue'er, and injured the Demon Side. The two brothers Demon Yong have avenged a little and shocked the Daxia court. I guess they will not send any killers to come in a short time, and there should be no major wars. I saw them expanding the city along the way, learning to smelve iron and planting crops. It seems that they want to be self-sufficient! With Daxia's urine, it will be a day or two for coveting the Central Plains. One day, the iron hooves of the Daxia cavalry will go south!"

Hong Fanlong smiled and said, "Prince, Guo Yuanzhi, the captain of Songbei County, is the Changsun of the Strategic Envoy, who was arranged by Guo Guo to be the front line to become the lieutenant. The city of Songbei County was broken by the Daxia people the year before yesterday, and the county magistrate and the lieutenant died in battle. From then on, everyone was disgusted by Songbei and became disgusted. No one was willing to go to Songbei County. However, the Grand Secretary of the Strategic Envoy sent Changsun to Songbei County to be the lieutenant. Last year, the Captain Guo Yuanzhi set up an ambush in Songbei, defeating the invading Daxia cavalry and revitalizing the morale of our border army!"

Tang Jiusheng knew that Guo Chong loved his eldest grandson the most, but he threw him into the border county to be a lieutenant and asked him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Tang Jiusheng felt respectful and Guo Chong said with mercy: "A good man should be determined to be in all directions and serve the country and the people. Being born in this chaotic world, defending his family and the country, and marching a horse and corpse is the true nature of a man!"

Everyone thought it was reasonable and praised it together. Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "Uncle Guo, it is good to be determined to serve the country and the people in all directions, but I think so. We should let the invading Daxia people wear corpses one by one!" Everyone laughed.

Guo Chong also smiled and said, "What a magnificent nephew's words!"

After staying in Jiyuan County for a few days, Tang Jiusheng politely refused Guo Chong's retention again, and took Shui Ruyue to the east to the Guannei Road. Tang Jiusheng went to the Guannei Road to meet someone, his righteous brother Yin Sheng, one of the two friends who had sworn during the trip. The man heard that he was in trouble, so he led Zhao Lingzun and Ximo to Jiannan to save his righteous brother. Tang Jiusheng had not seen Yin Sheng, who lives in Wuping County, Guannei Road, for nearly two years, and was very worried.

Two years ago, when Yin Sheng left Huzhou and said goodbye to Tang Jiusheng, he said that his father was in poor health and asked him to go home. Then he took Zhao Lingzun, Ximo and Yue Lingbi back to his hometown in Guanneidao, but after two years of leaving, he had no news and never came. Tang Jiusheng once sent two letters to the Yin family's house in Wuping County, Guanneidao, but he was like a mud cow entering the sea without any response.

Logically speaking, Tang Jiusheng became King Wei and had already become famous all over the world. This righteous brother could not have known Tang Jiusheng's current situation. How could there be no news? His righteous brother became the prince of the Great Shang Kingdom. Even if he really needed help, with his friendship with Tang Jiusheng, he would not have sent someone to send a letter or a word? Will Tang Jiusheng, who is still a chivalrous and righteous person in the world, ignore his righteous brother's affairs?

However, Tang Jiusheng did not have a moment of rest in the past two years. He went north to meet the swordsman delegation in Daxia, then became kings, went south, and made all kinds of troubles. Later, he went to Jiannan and built Xiaowei, built the Wei Palace, conquered Niuman, and then wiped out bandits from all over the place, surrendered Luoyu Pavilion, and went to Pingxi Palace for a while. Then he went south and suddenly helped Tiedun to regain the throne. Apart from the time of practicing martial arts, Tang Jiusheng really had no time to care about his righteous brother, so he could only think of his righteous brother occasionally.

Today, Tang Jiusheng was so excited that he finally had the opportunity to meet his righteous brother. Because Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue's appearance were too eye-catching, he wore facial hair all the way and only pretended to be a young couple who traveled around. This would not be too eye-catching.

After walking on the road for half a month, I finally entered Wuping County, Guannei County. It was already early autumn. Guannei Road was no longer a little colder than Jiannan Road and Jiangnan Road. However, Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue are both first-class masters. Although their clothes are a little thin, such weather is not a big deal for them.

Tang Jiusheng was quite curious about his brother's hometown. After entering the jurisdiction of Wuping County, Tang Jiusheng became furious and only hoped to drink and chat with Yin Sheng. Shui Ruyue was happy to see Tang Jiusheng, and he was happy. The couple had the same heart. One was happy and the other was happy, which was also very good for the couple.

Along the way, Tang Jiusheng only felt that the customs of the inner Taoist people in Guan'an were very different from those of Jiannan. The customs of the inner Taoist people in Guan'an were strong, and even the wife practiced martial arts and plowed fields, which was not inferior to men in Jiangnan. Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "Even women are so strong, no wonder the soldiers in Jiangnan are not the opponents of the inner Taoist soldiers! It is said that the elite soldiers in the world are hidden in Guan'an. The ancients really did not deceive me!"

Shui Ruyue couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I, a woman from Jiangnan, can ride horses and shoot arrows, dance swords and guns, so what do you say?"

Tang Jiu

Sheng looked serious and corrected: "My wife, you should be considered a Lingnan woman? Although my mother-in-law is a Jiangnan woman, you were born in Lingnan! Besides, my wife is a strange woman, even in Jiangnan, so how can she be compared with mediocre fans? My wife is a general on the horse and a dismounted horse. She has a great appearance in the world. Her martial arts are so powerful that she is worthy of a husband like me!"

Shui Ruyue was amused by Tang Jiusheng, but spat gently and said, "Look, look, and I was praising me, and I went to praise myself! Young senior brother, you are thick-skinned! I think I have a pretty good appearance, but my martial arts are a bit exaggerated! Maybe I can't even be ranked first hundred masters in the world! My mother is a Jiangnan woman, and I have also grown up in the Heyue Academy outside Tianchang Mansion since I was a child. I am a Jiangnan native!"

Tang Jiusheng exaggeratedly said, "What? Is the appearance pretty good? Is this pretty good girl? Please give me a dozen! Wife, besides the Princess Ximen Yuxue of Pingxi, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Moreover, you have grown up in the past two years and will immediately surpass Ximen Yuxue. I have been blessed with a wife like you in eight lifetimes!"

Shui Ruyue said proudly: "It's just a careless person, and she is barely worthy of you, the great prince!"

The couple talked and laughed. When they arrived at the west gate of Wuping County, the guards guarding the city gate saw that the young couple were carrying weapons and had a majestic temperament. They thought they were from a family, so they did not provoke them and waved their hands to put them into the city. When they entered the city, they asked people about the old Yin family house in the east of the city. An enthusiastic person pointed the direction. The two rode horses and walked east along the largest street in the city, and crossed two more streets. Sure enough, they saw a magnificent mansion from afar, with a plaque hanging on the lintel: Yin Mansion.

In the Great Shang Kingdom, even if the head of a family member becomes a third-rank official, he can only be called a house, not a house. If a house can be called a house, he either has a title or a second-rank official or above, he can be called a house as a national teacher, a deputy prime minister, and a large official like Situ. Now the old house of Yin Sheng’s family is actually named the Yin Mansion, which is obviously not an ordinary family. Tang Jiusheng looked at the lintel and smiled: "My brother Sheng is at least the son of the uncle and the marquis! When he went out to travel and took a first-rank master like Zhao Lingzun as a servant, how could his family be in a bad state?"

Tang Jiusheng smacked his lips and said, "Wife, we can see Brother Sheng today, so I'll be happy to think about it! I have heard that Qin Feng wine in the inner city is among the famous wines of the big merchants for a long time. I'll try it carefully later! If you want to talk about Brother Sheng, he has a lot of alcohol and can match me!" Shui Ruyue couldn't help laughing when she saw Tang Jiusheng's image.

When they arrived at the house, the two found that the door was closed and there was no one at the door. Tang Jiusheng was a little surprised, so he turned over and got off the horse, went to the corner gate to slap the door. After a long time, a servant came to open the door lazily.

The servant was in his forties and looked a little ferocious. When he opened the door and saw Tang Jiusheng, he looked up and down. Although the young man had a good temperament, his clothes were slightly thin, and he might be a down-and-out family. Looking back, there was a young woman holding two horses, and her clothes were also a little thin, and she was obviously with this kid.

The servant said with an impatient look: "What are you, what are you doing when you are banging the door in broad daylight? Who are you looking for?"

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "This brother, is this the old house of the Yin family? I came from Jiangnan Road, with a surname of Sheng, ranked ninth, and was called Shengjiu. He came to find Mr. Yin Sheng. Brother Yin Sheng and I are good friends. Please give me a message! As long as you mention my name, he will definitely know me!" Yin Sheng knew Tang Jiusheng's pseudonym. When he heard the word Shengjiu, he naturally knew that it was Tang Jiusheng.

Unexpectedly, the servant suddenly turned his face and said, "I care whether you have leftover wine or leftovers. Don't make trouble here. If you want to beg for food, go quickly and go quickly! Yin Sheng is not here!" As he said that, he was about to close the door.

Tang Jiusheng was surprised. What was going on? Tang Jiusheng quickly grabbed the corner gate, took out a piece of broken silver of about two taels from his arms, and smiled and said, "Hey, hey, I don't know what this big brother is called? Even if you can't see Young Master Yin Sheng, Uncle Zhao Lingzun and Mr. Xi Mo are here? It's okay to let me see them!"

The slightly vicious servant looked at Yinzi and his face immediately calmed down. He took Yinzi, smacked his lips, and leaned into Tang Jiusheng's ear and said, "Oh, Mr. Sheng is polite! My name is Yin Ergou, and I am the third housekeeper in this mansion!"

Yin Ergou felt a little embarrassed: "Young Master Sheng, you came here a coincidence! To be honest, our eldest son is already angry with his wife, ran away from home, has not returned for many days, and has nowhere to go! If you want to see Ximo, I may be able to introduce you to you, but if someone in the mansion asks you, you can't mention my name! Otherwise, I will follow you in the unlucky!"

Tang Jiusheng knew that he was willing to help because of Yinzi's face, so he nodded and said, "I know the importance of it, so I'll do it for Brother Ergou!" Since Yin Sheng had something to do at home, he couldn't see Yin Sheng, so he could ask what was going on when he saw Ximo! If he needed his help, he didn't mind helping.

Seeing that Tang Jiusheng was very cognitive, Yin Ergou nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you can wait here!" Yin Ergou slammed the door and went inside.

Tang Jiusheng turned around and looked at Shui Ruyue. The couple looked surprised. What is this?
Chapter completed!
