As the old saying goes, an eldest brother is like his father, and his eldest sister-in-law is like his mother. Xiang Lang's parents died young when he was young, so he relied on his brother and sister-in-law to take care of him. His sister-in-law was born in the Ma family in Jingzhou. If you really count, she is Ma Di's aunt.
A generation!
Under such a background, it is only natural that Xiang Lang would do this!
No wonder Xiang Yun is so powerful. His younger brother is a talented prime minister. It is only natural that he is a great brother!
…………
Xiping County!
This place is only more than eighty miles away from Zhu Can's village. Wang Yu directly stationed his soldiers and horses here. Because of Wang Yu's reputation and the jade pendant given to him by Yuan Shu, the Xiping County magistrate was naturally willing to receive him.
!
After arranging the people and horses, Wang Yu immediately sent out exploration horses to explore the topography and landforms near Zhu Can's village, and instantly accurately checked the people and horses in the village. Although Xiang Yun made a guess about the people and horses in the village after some observation, it was roughly a thousand
There are hundreds of people around, including hundreds of old, weak, women and children!
But... Wang Yu wants accurate numbers!
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle!
Find the best solution!
Two days later, in the early morning, after Wang Yu understood Zhu Can's truth and falsehood, he summoned his troops before dawn, and thousands of troops arrived at the gathering place neatly.
"The whole army sets off!" Wang Yu gave the marching order.
Last night, Xiang Yun, Wang Yu and others discussed a rescue strategy, and finally successfully decided on it. Gai Yue commanded the cavalry and set off before dawn in the morning to ambush in the woods near the mountain stronghold!
Then, Xiang Yun was singled out as bait because the bandit knew him, and with the money Wang Yu had prepared in advance, he used love and reason to lure Zhu Can out of the stronghold, and then defeated him with a large army. Of course, plans can’t keep up with changes!
Zhu Can is not a fool. After all, in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he served as governor of a state. His intelligence is not to say first-class, but at least he is not foolhardy!
Therefore, the key is to look at Xiang Yun's own operation. If it doesn't work, Xiang Yun can only consider the overall situation, hand over the money to Zhu Can first, rescue Xiang Lang and Xiang Jun first, and then think of other methods.
However, based on Wang Yu's understanding of Zhu Can in the novel, he is not a cold-blooded person. Instead, he is affectionate and righteous. Even if Xiang Yun did not give money, he would not kill a child. p>
However, Wang Yu did not dare to gamble. After all, such a talented prime minister would not miss his future foundation in Jingzhou!
…………
Look back to Zhu Can!
He was a county magistrate in Nanyang. Because the Han Emperor sold his official position and claimed that if he wanted to keep his official position, he had to spend a certain amount of money to protect his official position. Zhu Can was angry at that time!
He was originally from a poor family, but because his father had some connections, he was promoted as a filial and honest man and served as the county magistrate in his hometown of Nanyang!
However, he comes from a poor family and is not as good as ordinary poor people. He does not have much money left in his family. In addition, Zhu Can treats the people under his rule very well. How can he have such money?
So, Zhu Can resigned in anger!
Something happened as soon as he resigned!
During his tenure, he never showed mercy to those wealthy families. If there were people who bullied others, he would definitely deal with them in accordance with the law and show no mercy.
Wouldn’t the wealthy family hate him!
Now that he has resigned, opportunities for those people have also come.
The murder of Zhu Can’s mother was the trigger for everything!
In anger, Zhu Can took the people he knew from Jianghu, Qi Hualong, Zhang Zijie, Zhang Zilie and others, and took advantage of the night to sneak into the home of a wealthy family who persecuted his old mother, and killed the culprit.
At this point, Zhu Can has lived a life of being a bandit. Because he also has political talents and is well-known in Nanyang, he has attracted many refugees to join him!
It was because of that incident that Zhu Can hated the wealthy family so much. When Xiang Yun and the others drove a carriage back to Yicheng, they were naturally mistaken by Zhu Can for the young masters of the wealthy family, which is why such a situation happened.
However, in the days after Xiang Yun left, Zhu Can communicated with Xiang Lang and found out that they also came from poor families, but to be precise, they were powerful, and their family only had land!
Zhu Can regretted it a little. After all, he considered himself a man, but now he wanted to catch a child who was powerless. And through the conversation, he found that this young man was not simple. Even though he was a little scared, he was not afraid!<
/p>
Moreover, there is no such annoying feeling, which shows that the family style must be good!
Therefore, after some calculations, Zhu Can already had the idea of letting them go, but he still had to see if Xiang Yun would come back. If he came back, he would not want his money, but just make a friend.<
/p>
It is precisely because of Zhu Can's benevolence that Xiang Lang and Xiang Jun did not suffer during the days when Xiang Yun left. They had to eat and drink every day!
Moreover, Zhu Can considered that they were both scholars and would be very uncomfortable living in the bandits' den every day, so he asked his subordinates to return the books collected from Xiang Lang and Xiang Lang to let him use them to polish their skills.
Time!
Even Zhu Can himself would borrow books from Xiang Lang to read!
Although his life was safe for the time being and he still had books to read, Xiang Lang was very worried about his second brother. He couldn't calm down to read a book. The two of them never doubted that Xiang Yun would never come back.
.
…………
This day!
Zhu Can went to the cell as usual to visit Xiang Lang and Xiang Jun, including a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man's surname was Xie, and he was also a scholar!
The reason why Zhu Can didn't let him go was because of his identity. He was born in the Xie family of Chen Guo. But until now, no one has ever come to redeem him. It can be seen that he is not valued in the family.
Zhu Can's original idea was to let him go directly, but during a conversation, he discovered something extraordinary about him, so he gave up the idea and instead brainwashed him every day, hoping that he could be used to his advantage! p>
Ever since that incident, he knew the importance of power, so he wanted to attract such a talented person as the middle-aged man. However, the middle-aged man was like the stinking stone in the pit, smelly and hard, and could kill him.
Even without saying a word, Zhu Can felt helpless for a moment.
Just when Zhu Can was worried, a strong man outside suddenly ran in excitedly and said with excitement: "Brother, that Xiang Yun is back."
"Oh? Are you really back?" Zhu Can was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately stood up from the chair, but soon calmed down and asked quickly: "Hualong, is he here alone? How many people are there?" "Brother, he is the only one, but next to him there is a tall and thick coachman driving a horse-drawn carriage. The car should be filled with money." The strong man replied excitedly. This man was the Qi who Zhu Can brought out.
Transform into a dragon.
"Okay, this little brother Xiang is indeed a man of his word. Hualong, go and call some smarter brothers. Let's go down the mountain and have a look. There is nothing wrong with being more cautious."
After hearing Qi Hualong's story, Zhu Can was relieved and said loudly and happily, but he was also a cautious person and made two preparations directly!
"Let's go and have a look in the afternoon!" After Zhu Can said this, he hurriedly left the village with his men.
…………
In the cell!
After hearing Qi Hualong's words, Xiang Lang's face suddenly showed excitement, and he quickly said to Xiang Jun beside him: "Uncle Jun, the second brother is back to redeem us."
"Well, I heard that person say this just now, but one hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount of money. The head of the family must have done a lot of bloodletting. It's all because of Uncle Jun's mediocre martial arts that he didn't protect you from the cottage!
”
"I just hope that the leader of this bandit is a man of his word and will let us go after getting the money." Upon hearing this, Xiang Jun sighed with emotion at first, but then he felt a little guilty and worried about his future safety.<
/p>
When Xiang Lang heard this, he immediately calmed down. He could be taught in front of Sima Hui every day, and his thoughts were naturally far beyond those of ordinary people. As smart as he was, he naturally thought of Xiang Jun's concerns.
Just when the two were worried about each other, the young man on the side who had never spoken suddenly said: "Haha, don't worry, you two. The leader of Zhu Village was also a court official and served as a county magistrate in a county in Nanyang.
It has also benefited a lot of people."
"It's just that today's court is ruthless, selling officials and conferring titles, and aristocratic families are colluding with each other. That's why Zhu Can embarked on this path. Through my observation during this period, I found that this person is also a chivalrous person. Even if Xiang Yun didn't bring any money, he probably wouldn't.
It will embarrass you too much!"
After getting along with each other these days, the three of them are quite familiar with each other, and since they are in the same prison, they can be regarded as sharing weal and woe.
"If this is really the case, that would be even better!" Commander Xiang breathed a sigh of relief!
"Besides, I'm afraid things won't end so easily. I don't know why I always feel that when I leave little brother Xiang this time, I might meet a noble person!"
"As for why, I can only say that it is my own intuition!" The young man thought for a while, and finally said such an inexplicable sentence to Xiang Lang and Xiang Lang, leaving them both confused! However, while watching Xiang Jun, he secretly paid attention. Through this period of contact, he also discovered that the man named Xie was extraordinary. Since this man said so, he must have something unique!
…………
The eyes return to Zhu Can again!
Zhu Can asked Zhang Zijie and Zhang Zilie to guard the cottage, and he took General Qi Hualong and a few shrewd bandits to the gate tower of the cottage quickly!
Zhu Can glanced around and happened to spot Xiang Yun riding on a horse. There was a carriage next to him, and there was a strong man sitting on the horse. There must be money in it!
Seeing Zhu Can come out, Xiang Yun suddenly showed a smile of success. Then he rode his horse to the gate of the village and said loudly: "Master Zhu Can, I have brought you one hundred thousand yuan as you said. I wonder if I can redeem him now."
?"
"I really brought the money!" Zhu Can expected that a person like Xiang Yun who valued friendship would not let him go, but when he actually saw the money, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
However, Zhu Can still had to be cautious, in case it was full of stones, so Zhu Can also said loudly: "Brother Xiang is indeed generous, but before that, can I let Zhu take a look first?"
, check the authenticity of this money?"
Xiang Yun smiled secretly in his heart when he heard the words. He was indeed a cautious person, but he did not refuse Zhu Can's request. He immediately waved his hand and gestured with his eyes to Gai Yue, who temporarily assumed the role of coachman.
Gai Yue immediately nodded in understanding, then pulled the reins with her hands, quickly turned the horse's head, and under Zhu Can's gaze, dismounted and opened the curtain behind the car, revealing the five baht coins neatly coded as usual.
On the top of the city tower, Zhu Can was looking down from a high position, and his views were naturally honest. However, he was still a little uneasy just seeing the money. After all, the amount was unclear, so he loudly said again: "I see the sincerity of little brother Xiang!" "It's just that if you look at it like this, I don't know how much money it is. Why don't I just come down and count the amount in person and let my brother down?"
Seeing that Zhu Can was walking more and more into the trap he had set, Xiang Yun suddenly showed a successful expression, waiting for you to come down, so he calmly said loudly again: "Brother Zhu's request is quite reasonable!"<
/p>
"It's just..." Xiang Yun paused for a moment after saying this!
"But what?" Zhu Can quickly asked.
"But one hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount after all. A heroic figure like Brother Zhu is afraid that a child like me will do tricks, so he wants to check it in person!"
"And I consider myself not a fool. How could I not be prepared to be wary of heroes like you, Brother Zhu? Are you right?" Xiang Yun smiled and said loudly, his words seemed very direct and sincere.
.
Zhu Can was stunned when he heard this. He always felt that he was looking at the clouds from a high place, but now it seems that he still underestimated it, especially looking at that rather childish face, he didn't know what to say for a while. p>
What a kid!
Zhu Can doubted himself!
After all, he has also served as a county magistrate, and he is not a bad person. He is not a foolhardy person, but compared with Xiang Yun, he seems to be immature!
"What does Brother Xiang mean?" At this moment, Zhu Can already regarded Xiang Yun as an equal, and even the title had changed!
…………
At the foot of the mountain, a hidden place!
"Lord, do you think that little doll can lure the bandits down?" At the foot of the mountain village, Zhong Yao looked at Xiang Yun, who had been gone for a long time, and immediately asked his doubts.
It's no wonder that he doesn't believe in Xiang Yun. After all, not all teenagers are called Wang Yu. After all, he is just a teenager. Facing some extremely vicious gangsters, he will inevitably lose his bearings!
"Yes, that child is not a simple person. If no accidents occur, he will definitely be a versatile person in both civil and military affairs in the future. It is not impossible for him to become a general or a prime minister!" Wang Yu said eloquently.
Everyone was a little surprised to see Wang Yu attaching so much importance to Xiang Yun. No wonder Wang Yu would take the initiative to call Xiang Yun brother. It turned out that he was waiting here!
If this sentence comes from someone else, they will definitely not believe it, but if this person is Wang Yu, they will naturally believe it because he has this ability to recognize people!
