The beggar emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty
Chapter 34: The Unfamiliar Mother and Daughter
Tianlangzhai is located on the bank of the Han River fifty miles east of Gucheng.
The stockade is located halfway up the mountain. It was originally a temple built during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Tianlang Mountain is surrounded by mountains and water, with only a winding path up the mountain, and the terrain is very steep.
Not only guarding the Hanjiang waterway, but also the official road from Xiangyang to Xunyang, it also runs under the mountain, which is a treasure of geomantic omen.
Because of such unique conditions, and in these troubled times, the strength of Sky Wolf Village is one of the best in the entire Xiangyang Mansion.
The great master Yang Tianxing, although he is cruel and desolate, he has great loyalty, so he is very popular in the whole Xiangyang Green Forest.
At this moment, in the Zhaizhong Juyi Hall, the owner of the village, Yang Tianxing, looked gloomy and terrifying, but all the heroes were full of indignation.
"Brother, the rebels deceived people too much. After all, they were fighting against the government, but now they are not only having trouble with us, they also want to kill them all."
"Too damn mad, I used to think that his Eight Great Kings were some heroes, but now they seem to be a fart! I know he is bullying and fearing hard work!"
"Huh! Are our green forest guys really smashed? Are they the fat pigs they raised? Just kill them if you want?"
"Brother, there are only more than two thousand rebels who came this time. Our Tianlang Village is not other small villages. This time, they will have no return, and they will give out evil to the brothers who died in the other villages."
"Brothers, stay safe and restless!"
Yang Tianxing is only about 30 this year, nine feet tall and very burly. Seeing the enthusiasm of his brothers, he pressed his hands down.
After the hall was quiet, he continued: "Although only two thousand people have arrived this time, the rebels are huge after all. Now there are only our family left in a radius of 100 miles. Once they attack the mountain and are frustrated, they will send troops. Reinforcement, we are afraid that it will be invincible,
So I plan to send someone to Wufengzhai and ask my eldest brother to come to help. When the time comes, I should get together and kill them all without leaving, so that the eight kings will know that my green forest hero in Xiangyang is not easy to bully. !"
"Brother, but Wufengzhai can have hundreds of miles based on this, and the roads and paths south to Xiangyang have been blocked by the officers and soldiers. Even if Mr. Liu is willing, I am afraid he will not be able to come!"
"Oh, the official army only blocked the avenues and trails, but the mountain roads could not be blocked. Brother, this time you go personally and take the five-hundred-year-old ginseng you got last time, plus five thousand taels of silver and a pair. pearl…"
"Brother, is this too much?"
It was Yang Tianlin, Yang Tianxing's younger brother, who saw that his eldest brother had taken out half of the cottage's fortune, and he suddenly looked distressed, and the other heroes also breathed cold air.
"Not much at all. I heard that my eldest brother accepted a righteous daughter last year. He is not only martial arts, but also resourceful. He will help me propose marriage by the way. As long as Brother Liu agrees, you tell him that I will only be the only one in Tianlang Village in the future. His Wufengzhai horse is looking forward!"
"Big Brother, it's not good. Last year you sent someone to propose marriage to marry that girl Liu, but you haven't answered yet. Now you want to marry someone else's righteous daughter, this..."
Yang Tianxing sighed, "Hey! After all, that girl Liu and I are not in the same generation. Even if Big Brother Liu is willing, he has worries in his heart. He is afraid of being gossiped and ridiculing his fellow Xiangyang. He refuses directly and is afraid of unhappy in my heart. Reply, so I plan to marry her god-daughter. Then you can ask Liu girl to propose marriage. I believe Big Brother Liu will not refuse this time!"
Yang Tianlin was overjoyed. He had never seen the righteous daughter surnamed Liu, but his daughter had seen him three years ago. Although she was only twelve years old, she was already very tender. However, the older brother insisted that the old cow eat tender grass. Otherwise he would have sent someone to propose a marriage.
"Brother wise, then Lao Liu has no children, so although we are temporarily under Wufengzhai, sooner or later..."
"Ahem! Okay, without further ado, you can go now!"
Seeing that his younger brother was not blocking his mouth, Yang Tianxing hurriedly interrupted with a cough. Everyone knows this kind of thing in their hearts. If they say it out, it will inevitably make him feel unhappy.
After Yang Tianlin took the people away, Yang Tianxing greeted the brothers to start preparing for the battle. He believed that relying on the precariousness of the cottage and years of operation, sticking to it for three or four days would definitely not be a problem.
...
In the afternoon of the next day, Qin Yu and Li Dingguo arrived at the foot of the mountain with a large army. After they checked the terrain, their faces were a little serious.
Because it was too close to Xiangyang, the army did not attack the mountain immediately after arriving, but began to camp, cut logs, dig ditches, and build fences.
After a lot of work, the sky darkened.
"Xiaoyu, I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight. No wonder the elder brothers didn't come. I just looked at it. At most 50 people can be thrown into the mountain each time. This kind of fueling battle is a big taboo for soldiers. !"
"Dingguo, it seems that you haven't read the military books for nothing in the past few days. You know how to add fuel. Now you know why I want to save Mrs. Li?
The wives and young ladies of such big families are all treasures. They can hug and sleep, dress and comb your hair, serve tea, and wash your back. The key is that their knowledge is not worse than those of talented talents.
So don't blame me for not reminding you, it's best to ask the king one or two, even if you stay with him and teach you to read and literary, it would be too wasteful to leave it with him."
At the end of Qin Yu's speech, his face was heartbroken!
"Well! If it weren't for Mrs. Li's guidance these days, I couldn't understand many words and characters. It seems that I am looking for one."
Li Dingguo nodded seriously, admiring Qin Yu's knowledge.
At this moment, Mrs. Li just opened the camp and walked in with a pot of hot water, her expression was extremely unnatural, she obviously heard the words of Chief Qin just now.
"It's not too early for Xiaoyu. I'll leave first. After a day's journey, you should rest early!"
"Well! How to fight, I'll talk about it tomorrow after trying it out." Qin Yu nodded.
Li Dingguo nodded at Mrs. Li again, and then left the camp and returned to his big account.
"Madam, is Wan'er asleep?"
"Well, maybe I'm tired, I went to bed early, son, it's cold, soak my feet with hot water!" Then he came to the bed and squatted slowly.
Qin Yu was a little puzzled when she saw that she was about to take off her shoes and wash her feet.
She had never received this kind of treatment before. She was so courteous and stolen if she didn't do anything wrong, but she sat there and let her take off her shoes.
"My son, it's only a few dozen miles away from Xiangyang."
"Well, it's really close."
"The son, the concubine brother is an official in the city of Xiangyang."
"Oh!"
Qin Yu squinted and nodded comfortably.
Mrs. Li paused with both hands, looked up at him cautiously, and gritted her teeth: "Fortunately for a while, the concubine's mother and daughter can survive until now. The original concubine should be served by the son's side. Well, after all, Wan'er is too young, so the concubine wants to take her to Xiangyang, and hopes that the son can do it!"
"Hehe, why do I have to follow my wife? It turns out that the drunkard is not interested in drinking."
Qin Yu sneered, kicked the tub over with one foot, and shivered with fright, Madam Li who was kneeling on the side.
Qin Yu was really unhappy, thinking about entrusting his daughter to himself when the disaster was approaching, and now he wanted to leave whenever he had a chance.
For her, I abandoned the twin sisters. I don't know how many times in the past month there were hints that no one took a bath, but she just pretended to be stupid and had no consciousness at all. She was really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
"My son, how about coming back to serve the son after my concubine sends Wan'er to Xiangyang?" Madam Li also bit her lip with guilt in her heart.
"Madam really treats me like a child to coax me, even if you want to, your brother will probably not let you back!"
"How about the son sending Wan'er away?"
Mrs. Li pleaded, even if she went to Xiangyang, her fame was over, and the best ending was to become a nun.
But Wan'er is still young and has the shelter of her elder brother. In the future, she can still find a good family and live a stable life.
"Madam, I can understand your mood, and I don’t blame you. If it is feasible, I would send you to Xiangyang, but now the land and water are blocked, I am afraid that you will be caught before you arrive in Xiangyang.
Those officers and soldiers should know more about the virtues of the lady than I am. So if we send you away now, it will hurt you. Madam decides whether to leave or stay!"
After Qin Yu finished speaking, lying on the bed, the twisted melons were not sweet. There were many wives and young ladies from big families. With the Eight Great Kings, why can't I get one or two in the future?
Mrs. Li was limp on the ground.
