Chapter 225 I'm so annoyed
Xu family
"Mom, let's not take these with us?" Xu Zheng took out all the jars and cans that Xu's mother had packed. These were fragile items and would be troublesome to carry on the road.
Xu's mother felt it was a pity, "The ruined house is worth a fortune, and many of the things were just bought in the past two years."
"Mom, I have money, so I really don't need to take these. Just take the valuable things. For example, these pickles and dried vegetables, if you can take them with you, take some. If not, you can give them away, including those jars and pots."
Xu Zheng took out a bag of silver and handed it to Xu's mother. "Here are six hundred taels. Take it. Give two hundred taels each to the second and third sons as resettlement allowance. The remaining two hundred taels are for you two elders to keep."
Old Mrs. Xu was shocked. "Where did you get so much money?"
Xu Zheng laughed and said, "I made some money while escorting his sister-in-law and her family to Pingzhou."
"Even though it's your money, how much can you earn in one trip? If you give it all away, how can your wife not feel uncomfortable? Take it back. There's money at home, and we don't need you to give it to us."
Xu Zheng stopped her, "Mom, I still have some. Mom, listen to me..."
Then, Xu Zheng briefly told his mother about his experience on the road.
He has earned two or three thousand taels in this round trip. Although he only has two thousand taels in cash at the moment, don't forget that he still has shares in Longcheng Pharmaceutical Factory.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu felt more and more that her decision was right.
Neither Xu Lao Er nor Xu Lao San had expected that their eldest brother would actually give them two hundred taels of silver to settle down.
As for the family moving to Pingzhou, Lu Songyun was naturally happy to be able to stay with her parents.
For Brother Xu and Sister Xu, Lu Songli saved their child's life, and since their parents, brother and sister-in-law had decided to move to Pingzhou, they decided to move together.
Recently in Chang'an City, there are quite a lot of people like the Xu family who have moved to other places with their families, and everyone is quietly packing their luggage.
Before leaving, Lu Desheng took out a sum of money and gave it to the steward Chen, asking him to settle the navy.
The navy was a name given by the little girl when she knew that he had such a group of people under his command. He thought it was quite appropriate. An army that stirs up trouble and fishes in troubled waters is called a navy.
Before the Lu family set off, other people who were moving set off two days ahead of them and waited for them in front.
It is said that on the day Lü Desheng and his entourage left Chang'an, all the officials in Chang'an were secretly rejoicing.
The walls of Chang'an were crowded with dignitaries and nobles.
As soon as Lu Desheng and his group left the city gate, someone couldn't help but light firecrackers.
Lu Desheng turned around quickly and said, "You guys, are you sending the plague god here? This is too much!"
Facing his angry glare, everyone looked up at the sky, down at the ground, and at their feet, but not at him, so as to avoid being recorded in his little notebook.
Now everyone in Chang'an City knows that Lu Desheng has this little notebook. They had only heard of it before, but this time, he took it out!
Behind the crowd, the boy who set off firecrackers was scolded by his father, "I told you to set them off later, but you were too quick!"
Around Lu Desheng, Yang Wei, Xu Zheng, Hu Guangcong and others were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
They had a hard time holding it in; they were so afraid of laughing out loud and embarrassing Uncle Lu.
Jiang pulled his sleeve.
Lu Desheng snorted, held his head high and walked forward without looking back.
Forget it, this time, considering that they had made great efforts in sending him out of Chang'an, he would forgive them once! He was really magnanimous.
"Let's go!"
"It's finally going to be played out loud! Hahahaha——"
He was responded by the crackling sound of firecrackers and the celebratory sounds of gongs and drums.
Lu Desheng paused and gritted his teeth. Is he the Nian beast? Ah!
"Hahahaha——" Lu Mingzhi laughed.
Lu Desheng narrowed his eyes and looked at him dangerously, "What are you laughing at?" He couldn't keep this little son anymore!
Lu Mingzhi quickly begged for mercy, "Dad, I didn't want to laugh, but I really couldn't help it!"
Lu Desheng looked again and saw that everyone around him was trying to hold back their laughter until their faces turned red.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh. Laugh whenever you want! I'm so annoyed!"
…
Pingzhou, Liaodong Commandery, Wangping County
Because of the active response of the Liaodong County Magistrate, the Xianbei army led by Tuoba Lian did not gain much benefit after marching straight into Liaoyang and raiding it.
Before being surrounded, Tuoba Lian led his troops in a fighting and retreating manner. In Wangping County, he encountered another hastily formed ragtag army. While he was dealing with this ragtag army, the army led by the Liaodong County Lieutenant came up to attack.
The two sides engaged in close combat, and the armies of Xianbei and Dali were dispersed, and a small field battle broke out.
Qiu Dashan was a small leader of the Xiangjuntun Army and a centurion in the army. At this moment, he was leading a dozen soldiers towards the main force.
Just then, he saw a man rushing towards him in a panic. He kept looking back, as if to see if there were any pursuers.
He immediately shouted, "Why are you running?!"
The voice obviously frightened the other party. When he saw his own attire, he felt relieved and sat down on the ground. "Hello, Centurion, I'm hiding from the Xianbei soldiers in front of me."
Qiu Dashan was startled, "Are there Xianbei soldiers ahead?"
"Yes, there is an enemy leader ahead. There aren't many of them, only three or four. But the youngest is just one person. I'm so afraid they'll discover my whereabouts."
It was clear from his reply that this person was so scared that he was incoherent.
Qiu Dashan was overjoyed when he heard this. The other team leader only brought three or four soldiers with him. Wasn't this his chance to make a contribution?
Qiu Dashan took another careful look at the man in front of him and asked, "Aren't you from Pingzhou?"
The man replied, "Yes, I'm not from Pingzhou. My ancestral home is Jiangzhou. I came to Pingzhou to pick up my cousin. Everyone in my aunt's family has died. I didn't expect Xiangping to be so chaotic, and then I was unlucky enough to be drafted on the way."
"Centurion, should we give chase?"
"Chase!"
"Do you want to follow?" the soldier next to Qiu Dashan asked the newcomer.
The visitor shook his head and said, "I'm scared. My legs are weak now and I can't stand up. So I won't go."
Coward! The others secretly despised him.
"Don't worry about him, let's go!" Qiu Dashan took the lead and rushed in the direction he had just come from.
His men followed closely behind him.
Qiu Dashan didn't know that there was a dead end waiting for him ahead.
This man named Qiu Dashan was eventually killed by someone because of his greed and recklessness.
At this time, another person emerged from a hidden bush.
Zhou Da was alert, "Who?!"
"Lao Zhou, it's me, Lao Ma."
"It's you!" Zhou Da relaxed.
"How did this man offend you that he wanted to lead them to their death?" Ma Jin asked. It was a small isolated Xianbei army, not the lone Xianbei leader with only two or three soldiers as he said.
"It's said that this man coveted the ladies. When he went to recruit the major generals, he looked at them with a very sticky look."
Ma Jin hissed, "This guy must be really bold, to dare to covet the ladies."
Zhou Da nodded, "Not only that, this man is an old man who hanged himself because he thought his life was too long."
Ma Jin: "Get him! No problem."
Zhou Da suggested, "Shall we slowly move up?"
Ma Jin: "Okay." He went over to see if he had been killed by that small group of Xianbei troops.
Killing them is the best, but if not, they will just come up and stab them again.
"Old Zhou, have you seen the prince and the others?"
"No, I'm following the Sixth Young Master now. Let me tell you, our small group has killed many Xianbei soldiers and made many contributions."
Ma Jin said enviously, "You're so lucky to be assigned to the same team with the Sixth Young Master. I'm unlucky. Not only the Sixth Young Master, but I haven't even seen the Crown Prince or the Third Young Master."
"After we deal with that guy, I will take you to find the Sixth Young Master." Zhou Da said excitedly.
