Chapter 18 Slaps and Holding Hands

At the moment when dawn appeared, a whisper of fish in the east was white, and the training ground for the refugee army.

The area is not large, with various military equipment scattered scattered, and some tents are scattered in the middle of the shelves of the ordnance. Because the tent is used for a long time, it is very well-made, and it is a bit unbearable now, revealing a broken scene... It is early morning, but there are already many people practicing on the training ground, waving their weapons, and showing their power.

The soldiers in their hands are of medium quality and excellent ability, which is enough to satisfy those who serve as the commander of the army. This is the most powerful proof of the mastery of power in this era. Whether it is the countries in the north or the small court in the south, the soldiers with high quality are urgently needed. Most of the soldiers under Xu Heng are refugees from the north. Although there are some remains of the gentry, the majority of them are still poor and poor people. This group of people are easy to support. As long as they have food to eat, they can fight for the food. Although it is difficult for such people to cultivate loyalty, many people in such a society will not look forward to the future - after all, they live in front of them.

Xu Heng was very proud of having such a soldier in his hand, and was proud that even if he went from the north to the south, he could still grab a large piece of land from the mouths of many geniuses and entrench here. As for the Sima family's small court, which was in a peaceful corner, he could do nothing to him, and even had no movement. He allowed him to entrench here and live a free and easy life.

All this made him complacent. Compared with the turmoil in the north, the south prefers peace. Both the land and the population are easily plundered... After material satisfaction, he began to seek spiritual satisfaction. Anyone who is familiar with Xu Heng knows that he was only from a poor family or a concubine's son in a poor family, but he only caught up with the turmoil and chaos and opportunities, and thus rose to the grassroots. This type of people began such reincarnation a hundred years ago, and promoted the poor family to a gentry. This is the greatest belief of any generation of poor sons. The heavy and powerful concept of a family is enough to crush their personal interests and make all personal pursuits obey the revitalization of the family. Although he is just a concubine's son, the family is gone during the war. When he cannot trace the root cause, he said that he is the orthodox legitimate lineage and no one can object.

But it was so difficult to upgrade a poor family to a gentry. Xu Heng had been mixed with the middle and lower classes for half his life. The scholarly spirit had long been erased. Even if he wanted to lower his head and interact with those gentry, he lacked the same topic. Tan Xuan, recited poems, wrote essays, and took medicine, he didn't understand. Fortunately, this was not a problem for him, he didn't understand, but his son understood. The middle-aged Xu Heng had only one son under his knees, named Xu Lian. Unlike him, Xu Lian was arranged by him to receive orthodox gentry education since he was a child, and he liked, such as Tan Xuan and changing concubines, and his purpose was to cater to the gentry.

In this way, Xu Lian easily entered the gentry's sons. The opportunity was just right. It was not only a time when the strength of the gentry moved to the house was reduced, but also a time when the military and political power was in power... In short, it was claimed to be descendants of the Xu family of the little gentry. Xu Heng and Xu Lian and his son made up an identity. Not only did they interact with many famous scholars, but they also climbed to the current path of Xu Shen, the governor of Kuaiji County. Although they were not of the same clan, their surnames were the same, and their relationship became increasingly close.

However, there are unexpected situations in the world.

Xu Heng cultivated Xu Lian's current character of being obsessed with the consequences... Without any warning, Xu Heng originally thought that this spring festival was no different from the past. It was just a son talking to those so-called famous scholars and drinking. At most, he had an elegant interest in getting maids and concubines. No matter what, he never thought that his son, who had always been proud of himself, was reluctant to beat and scold him, got into trouble and provoked the Wang family of Langya, Wang Xizhi, Wang Yishao's son, and especially Wang Ningzhi, who has been in the limelight in recent days, how could he offend him at will?

The lights were dim that day. Xu Heng was about to fall asleep, but he received an urgent letter from the governor of Kuaiji County, Xu Shen, who told him about the mistakes made by Xu Lian and suggested that he prepare early. What preparations can he do? What ideas can he come up with when a martial artist is full of muscles? The key is that this matter cannot be spread randomly. This is a major event that can destroy people at the least, and at the worst, it can be destroyed by the clan!

He could only take his son back overnight and wipe his butt - Xu Lian had already kidnapped Wang Ningzhi, and Xu Heng didn't think that they could not guess that this was what they did. Just the next day, some strange faces appeared around the station, obviously they were spies from the Wang family. He was stared at, and based on the principle that the enemy was still, I didn't send anyone to contact the village where Wang Ningzhi was kidnapped for three days... He did not have any problems here, they were all his own people, and all actions were carried out step by step. But the village entrusted by Xu Lian was used to threaten and tempt by food. He was able to be tempted by food, which was extremely lacking in food, so he naturally couldn't delay it. He came to ask for food on the third day.

Haha…I tried every means to avoid showing my feet, but my shoes were broken.

Xu Heng, who had been in war for a lifetime, no longer hesitated. So what if he was suspected? As long as the evidence was eliminated, they could not produce evidence and had no evidence. Even the court could not do anything about it: he personally selected more than 30 elite experts and asked only one. Even if he did not destroy the refugee village, he would kill the gentry princes inside and destroy the corpses... Now that dawn has come, Xu Heng, who has been waiting for a night, still can't sleep, so he simply dragged Xu Lian, who was dozing off, and waited outside the tent.

Suddenly, there was a hustle and bustle ahead, and then the soldiers who were practicing scattered to both sides. A group of people wrapped in mud and blood rushed over quickly, and the leader was his confidant.

"How, is the matter done?" Xu Heng hurriedly asked without waiting for the trusted leader to approach.

The little leader gasped violently and shook his head: "I was about to succeed, but there was a group of people coming out from nowhere. He was extremely brave and rescued the gentry prince. We really couldn't..."

Before he finished listening, Xu Heng's face turned purple and black. He was extremely angry, but he had no way to vent his anger. He turned around and saw his sleepy son, and he was even more angry. He didn't expect that this bastard was so unscrupulous. He raised his thick arms and slapped Xu Lian's white and tender face!

...

...

At noon, Kuaiji, Wang Family.

The news that Wang Ningzhi, who was kidnapped for three days, was spread throughout the mansion, and the maids and servants were also happy with the masters. After all, Erlang treats them very well on weekdays and never acts domineeringly. Now Erlang has suffered such a great disaster but can survive from death, which is a thankful thing. Although many people have their own jobs to do, it does not prevent him from greeting him when Erlang enters the mansion.

This created a situation where the Wang family was crowded.

A large group of servants led the maids around. Inside, the children of the Wang family and the people who helped with this matter were forced to accept various greetings after Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun got off the ox cart. They had to chat with people they knew and humbly expressed their gratitude for being saved. Fortunately, they had a lot of experience in their previous life, so he could handle it with ease. Just to take care of Xie Daoyun, who was pale, he had to let out a look of fatigue on his face.

The sick brother Wang Xuanzhi was also in the team welcoming. He was closest to Erlang all day long, so he could naturally observe it through his small expression. He said to him: "Erlang was under house arrest for the bandit for three days, and he was exhausted. I would like to thank Erlang for your kindness first. If you don't dislike him, I will stay in the mansion today. I can order the people to prepare some high-quality food and leave after enjoying it."

"As a matter of reason, let Shuping take a good rest. I am afraid I have suffered a lot in the past few days."

"Then I'll disperse first, so I won't cause any trouble."

“Where…”

The crowd scattered. Wang Ningzhi looked at his brother Wang Xuanzhi, who looked paler than him, and frowned. He had some emotions in his heart, but he could not name them, at least they were different from the imagined family affection... He heard from Xie Daoyuan that the doctor diagnosed it as wind and cold, but the appearance was similar, cough and sweating, etc., but no matter how he treated it, it would not be cured. The condition became more and more serious. He could only hand over the things in his hands to his father Wang Xizhi. Now it seems that he has the intention to let himself get in touch with these things.

"Stay early." Wang Ningzhi did not call out the word "brother", but he was sincerely grateful. He thought that his predecessor had a deep relationship with these brothers and sisters, and he would help each other when encountering problems, so he didn't have to be too restricted.

After thanking him, he finally entered the house. At this time, there were not many people around him. Fengshou, Qing'e and Huan'er led the way, and the others gradually dispersed.

In fact, he was fine, but his food was not very good, and he was a little weak, but his wife was different. Xie Daoyun was wet from the rain and her mood changed drastically. Now she seemed to be sick. She didn't say a few words since she entered the door, but she just wrapped herself in a coat and followed her silently. She still tried to pretend to be a virtuous wife who was a husband and wife.

It seemed as if he felt Wang Ningzhi's gaze, a slight blush appeared on Xie Daoyuan's cheeks.

Seeing this, Wang Ningzhi reached out and held her little hand hidden in her robe. The warm and smooth and soft flesh showed that the owner was not old. Even so, it was enough for Wang Ningzhi to enjoy the beauty for a moment.

After all, Xie Daoyuan did not refuse.
