At this time, Xu Zizhen had returned to his residence. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw Kou Qiaoyi, who was still snickering behind him. He glared at her angrily: "You are still laughing? If you laugh again, I will really send you out.
!”
Kou Qiaoyi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then deliberately made a serious face: "Yes, Qiaoyi doesn't laugh!"
"You!" Xu Zizhen really couldn't do anything to her and shook his head, "Do you like to laugh or not? If you have nothing to do tomorrow, help me buy some gifts. Shenji Camp has just opened, so I really can't run away."
Kou Qiaoyi nodded: "Don't worry, young master, Qiaoyi will take care of this matter." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Zizhen, seeming hesitant to speak.
Xu Zizhen poured a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Why do you look like this? Are you really afraid that I will give you away?"
Kou Qiaoyi shook his head and said: "Qiaoyi knows that Master Wen will not send me away, but... Qiaoyi always feels that Mr. Wen's behavior today is a bit strange."
"Oh? What kind of weird method?" Xu Zizhen was stunned, put down the teacup in his hand, waved and said, "Sit down and talk, don't be so formal, just treat us as a couple talking."
Kou Qiaoyi blushed, sat down obediently, and said softly: "Sir, have you ever noticed that Master Wen seems to have done this deliberately?"
Xu Zizhen scratched his head: "You said this was just Mr. Wen's way of tricking me? That's not possible, right? No matter how I look at it, it seems like that guy, Lao Qian, is playing tricks on me."
Kou Qiaoyi said: "Mr. Wen has always been mature and prudent. If it weren't for his permission, how could Mr. Qian be so presumptuous?"
Xu Zizhen said doubtfully: "That's impossible. No matter how much Mr. Wen likes me, there's no need to rush to marry his daughter to me, right? And it's such a harmful trick to deceive me."
Kou Qiaoyi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Qiaoyi is just guessing, but... Qiaoyi feels that Mr. Wen seems to have some conspiracy against the young master by wooing him in this way."
Xu Zizhen laughed: "You have a plot against me? I am just a common man. I can help him guard Lanzhou City. What plot can I have for him? Besides, Mr. Wen is not such a person. You are overthinking."
Kou Qiaoyi lowered his head: "Maybe Qiaoyi is worrying too much. Master, please don't be angry."
Xu Zizhen waved his hands and was about to speak, but hesitated for a moment. In that situation just now, his mind was a little confused, but now that he calmed down, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He also found that
Wen Chengyan seemed to be trying to win him over, but he only had a little effort, so how could it be worth it for him to use his daughter to win over him?
He couldn't think of a reason no matter how hard he thought about it, and finally stopped thinking about it. He knew very well what kind of temper Wen Chengyan was, and there was no way he could harm him. Besides, what if he was really tricked? After all, he was charming and charming.
Wen Xian was married to him, and he was not at any loss.
He had been dreaming that night. One moment he dreamed that he was surrounded by Xia soldiers, and all his brothers around him had been killed. The next moment he dreamed that he had defeated the Xia soldiers alone, returned to the capital and was commended by the emperor. He became
A high official who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
When he woke up in the morning, Xu Zizhen had not yet recovered from his dream. He sat on the bed in a daze, shook his head vigorously for a while, and muttered: "You are a great minister? Pull him down and follow next year."
Will the old emperor be captured and taken to the Kingdom of Jin together?"
As soon as Xu Zizhen finished washing, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Liu Feng standing outside the door with a smile. Xu Zizhen had found someone to notify him last night in order to let him accompany Kou Qiaoyi.
Let's go buy the bride price together, otherwise a big girl might be easily deceived and bullied.
Liu Fengsui didn't know why he was looking for him. When he heard that it was to buy a betrothal gift, he was overjoyed and said: "How about a betrothal gift? Okay! I will accompany Miss Qiaoyi to search all over Lanzhou City. No matter what, I have to buy the best gift for my elder brother."
Nice gift!”
Xu Zizhen smiled and took out a few banknotes: "Don't save money for me, spend it hard, and buy some clothes for Qiaoyi. I really don't have time, I have to train those boys."
Liu Fengsui took the banknote without saying a word and took Kou Qiaoyi out of the house, his face beaming with joy, as if he was the one getting married. Xu Zizhen shook his head and stopped caring about the matter.
He got off his horse and went straight to the military camp.
Yesterday he left early, and he didn't know if Bu Fen could train these boys well. Xu Zizhen was a little worried about this matter at first. After all, Bu Fen was just a bandit leader, but when he arrived at the military camp, he breathed a sigh of relief. Shenji Camp
There were actually many of the five hundred people in the field, lined up neatly, heads raised and chests raised, looking solemn, as if they had been in the regular army for many years.
Xu Zizhen walked closer, scanned the crowd, and praised: "It looks a bit cool, not bad!"
Bu Fen smiled and said: "Why, brother, are you afraid that I can't lead your soldiers?"
"What the hell, at least you led the troops earlier than me. How dare I challenge you, haha!" Xu Zizhen said with a smile, "I will do it next. Today we should practice swordsmanship."
Bu Fen was stunned: "So fast? Didn't you say that you need to practice physical fitness for a while?"
Xu Zizhen shook his head and didn't know what to say. Time was too tight and the war could break out again at any time. Although these five hundred people had been divided into groups, they must learn the random cloak sword technique. This is the most critical thing when going into battle.
The horse thieves had already mastered it a few days ago, which saved Xu Zizhen a lot of trouble. He asked the horse thieves to teach the recruits one-on-one, and once they had learned the lesson, they began to catch pairs and practice, while he walked around beside him.
I looked around everywhere and gave some pointers from time to time.
Most of the day passed in a blink of an eye, and the sun was gradually setting towards the west. The Five Hundred Divine Machine Camp was practicing vigorously when they saw a person running outside the camp. It was Liu Fengsui. Before he could get closer, he shouted with a smile: "Brother,
You’ve bought all the betrothal gifts, do you want to come back with me to have a look?”
Bu Fen didn't know about this yet, so out of curiosity he couldn't help but ask for clarification, and then laughed and said: "It's getting late today, let them practice by themselves, and let's go back together to see the bride price."
Xu Zizhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are all more anxious than me. Who is getting married?"
However, he said so and returned to the city with Bu Fen Liufeng. As for the Five Hundred Divine Machine Battalion, let them take a break for the time being. Training too hard is not a good thing. It is better to relax and relax. Anyway,
It only takes a while to look at the bride price, and it doesn't take long to make a round trip.
The three of them arrived at Xu Zizhen's residence. As soon as they opened the door, Xu Zizhen was dazzled by the colorful table in front of him. It took him a long time to come back to his senses: "My dear, isn't this too damn exaggerated?"
Liu Fengsui said proudly: "Miss Qiaoyi and I went all over Lanzhou City and bought the best ones. Look, this is Qian Shengyuan's wedding cake, and this is Feng Xiangji's gold and silver bowl.
"He opened them all and showed them to Xu Zizhen like a treasure.
The last thing was a thick long package. Liu Feng opened it and said with a smile: "This is the satin from Taiji Cloth Shop in the south of the city. It is said that it is all shipped from the south of the Yangtze River, but it cost me a lot..."
As soon as the red paper on the outside of the package was opened, the fabric inside was revealed. Liu Fengsui's smile suddenly froze on his face. This was not a satin surface. It was clearly a roll of ordinary red cloth with mildew spots.
