Chapter 74: People from the Northwest (Subscribe)
"Thank you, ma'am."
Xu Yuzhu smiled faintly: "Husband, there is no need to thank each other. The New Year is only half a month away, and I don't know how my parents will be this year..."
After Xu Yuzhu said this, Lian Jing paused and nodded in response: "Yes. There is less than half a month left before the New Year. Zhu'er, I'm sorry for putting you through this."
"Brother Jing, I don't feel wronged at all with you and the children by my side."
"Zhu'er, meeting you is the blessing of my life."
Lian Jing and Xu Yuzhu smiled at each other, then stood by the window, hugging each other, looking at the dark night outside...
At this time, a group of people were galloping towards Yushan from the northwest border.
Looking closely, they saw that the group of people were wearing armor, and they were obviously soldiers guarding the northwest.
But why are these people in such a hurry?
The direction they were heading was Yushan. Was this a coincidence or was it intentional?
The road ahead became increasingly difficult to walk on, and the person leading the group gradually slowed down. The people behind them gradually caught up, and they continued to move forward slowly together.
As soon as they slowed down, someone in the group spoke up: "Third brother, the seventh brother was really exiled to Yushan."
Just as he finished speaking, a rough voice rang out, "The letters from the eldest and second brothers must be correct. When the higher-ups summoned the eldest and second brothers back, I felt something was amiss. Humph, it turned out to be true."
"Although my eldest and second brothers can move freely in the capital, they were ordered to wait for orders in the capital. But in the blink of an eye, they sent a useless piece of paper talk to the border. If no one here has used any tricks, I don't believe it at all."
The rough voice fell, and several voices echoed: "Yes. That's right, they keep saying that he should go into battle, but he shrinks faster than a turtle."
"That's right, that's an old turtle, and that person has close ties with a minister in the capital."
"Oh! Who knows, maybe that old fellow secretly used some tricks on my elder brother and forced him to stay in the capital."
"Right. Otherwise, why would the seventh brother be exiled just a few months after the eldest and second brothers returned? Who knows what else might be going on."
Several men were talking at once, each one filled with indignation.
Suddenly, a female voice rang out: "With Old Seven, let alone Yushan, you could throw her into the desert and she would come out alive. It's just that the delicate and soft girl has suffered. She's only four years old. I'm so heartbroken."
A man said with a smile: "Lao Wu, if you like girls, why don't you find a man and have one yourself?"
"Fourth brother, let alone one, even if we give birth to a whole litter, it will be no problem for the fifth sister..."
"Hahaha…"
The woman called Lao Wu immediately said, "Xiao Jiu, you are itching for trouble!"
"Sixth brother, save me. Fifth sister is going to beat someone up." As he said this, the man pretended to be very scared.
"You deserve it. You dare to make fun of Fifth Sister? Not only will Fifth Sister beat you up, but Sixth Brother will want to beat you up too."
"Oh my! Sixth brother, you can't be like this..."
Everyone knows that the sixth sister likes the fifth sister, but the fifth sister, who has been cheated on by a man before, has never responded.
With Xiaojiu, this lively guy, around, the atmosphere along the way became much more relaxed, and there was no longer the bloodthirsty impulse as before.
After the situation calmed down, several people started talking.
The first to speak was the owner of the gruff voice, the leader of the group. He looked into the night and said, "Old Five, Old Six, you two go explore first while we go do some shopping."
"Yes, Third Brother." The two men who responded immediately rode their horses and headed forward.
This third brother was actually a general under Xuzhou. His real name was Ning San. Because of Xuzhou, he had a good relationship with Xuzhou's two sons. Together with Xu Yuzhu, a woman who was as capable as any man, these like-minded people became siblings.
However, they did not expect that when the four were about to become sworn brothers, several people who had been staring at them rushed over and knelt on the ground in unison.
Looking at their shameless appearance, Xu Yucang smiled and nodded in agreement.
So the original four people swore brotherhood to each other, suddenly it became nine people.
To be honest, this was all caused by Xu Yuzhu. Those guys all had the same problem as Xu Yuzhu.
Hearing that their sisters had been exiled, they were so angry that they nearly flipped the table. If Ning San hadn't spoken up, they probably wouldn't know where to vent their anger.
But the military camp cannot be without generals, especially now that there is a loser who wants to command the army, they cannot leave no one behind to take charge.
Finally, the decision was made by drawing lots. The lucky Old Eight drew the note left behind, so he had to stay in the military camp in a depressed mood. He was planning in his mind to take the opportunity to deal with that waste.
Seeing the fifth and sixth brothers galloping off, the fourth brother asked, "Third brother, the eighth brother didn't come this time and was left behind to guard the barracks. Do you think he will take his anger out on that guy?"
Ning San glanced at him and replied calmly: "Old Four, you saw it"
Just after he uttered an "Ah", the fourth brother came back to his senses, and then said with an innocent look: "Third brother, what did I see? I was with you guys, but I don't know anything."
Seeing this ceremony, Xiao Jiu said teasingly, "Fourth brother, your desire to survive is incredible."
"Go, go, go. You should think about buying something for our little princess."
When the ceremony was mentioned, Xiaojiu A Tian immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, the little princess is already four years old, and I haven't seen what she looks like yet. This time, I have to prepare a gift for her."
Hearing this, Ceremonial curled his lips and said, "Come on, Xiaojiu, as for the meeting gift, you'd better not buy any meeting gift. Just give me something more substantial, such as gold and silver."
"Fourth brother, you're not much better than me."
"Hey, you kid..."
"Stop bickering. You two have good brains. Think about what's going on with Old Seven and the others this time. I don't believe Ouyang Hui has the guts to embezzle so much."
As soon as Ning San finished speaking, Yi Dian continued, "As for someone like Ouyang Hui, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death. As for the embezzlement, I think he might have helped someone take the blame."
"Third and fourth brothers, do you think this guy has the same master as that loser?"
Dianzhi suddenly said with a cold face, "I don't know if it's the same one, but this person has no good intentions at all. First, he recalled the eldest and second brothers, then came to the northwest with orders, and less than a month later, he was recalled again."
"He hasn't come out since he was recalled. It wasn't long before Old Seven was exiled. They said it was because of that villain Ouyang Hui. But I always feel that there's someone behind Ouyang Hui, someone controlling the situation."
Ning San nodded and said, "Old Four is right. I think the person controlling the situation may be too confident and has forgotten about us. Otherwise, Old Seven would never have reached Yushan."
"Third brother, I think that if they really have the same master, something must have happened to Seventh Sister and the others along the way."
