After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

On the way back, Jiang Chen asked Ah Fu about delivering a letter to the Liu family.

Afu said to him:

"Master, I told you, don't feel uncomfortable. I have sent the letter to the Duke of Guo. He is a man who keeps his promises and still wants to marry Han Yanxiao to you. But Liu Mansion The eldest lady wants to cancel this marriage. What's even more annoying is that Miss Liu Hanyan doesn't want to marry you at all. She knelt in front of the old man and begged him, threatening to cancel this marriage. . But my husband is still loyal. No matter how much the mother and daughter begged, they refused to regret the marriage. In the end, the mother and daughter were so angry that they fainted. I think your marriage with her is probably in doubt. Master Don't be sad, you have to be prepared in your heart. According to me, it would be better if she didn't marry. Master, you don't want her yet. She is the most beautiful woman in the capital. I think she is blind. For a good person like you, in the future, Let her regret it."

As Jiang Chen walked, he listened to Ah Fu talk about things in the Liu Mansion.

He had never cared about this marriage at all. How could he, a modern soul, be sad for someone he had never even met.

The reason why he agreed to send the letter to his father-in-law was because he did not want to go against his mother's wishes.In fact, it's better this way, and I won't have to worry about it in the future.

He said to Afu:

"Do you think I would be sad because of the betrayal of a woman I have never met? My mother didn't mention this marriage at all in the letter, so why would they make such a fuss over this matter?"

Ah Fu said to Jiang Chen:

"Perhaps this is Madam's cleverness. She can see them clearly by making insinuations."

The two people walked and talked all the way.By the time we left the capital, it was already dark.

After walking for about ten miles, we arrived at a hill with no village in front or back and no store in the back.

Ah Fu stopped and was about to find a place to relieve himself when suddenly a dozen people on horseback rushed down from above. They held weapons in their hands and covered their eyes with cloth.

A group of people came up and surrounded the two of them.

One of them was probably the leader, because his face was covered with cloth, but under the bright moonlight, he looked about thirty years old.He held a big knife in his hand, waved it and shouted at Jiang Chen:

"Hey, I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass by here, leave money to buy the road. Listen to me, you two, I think you look like children from a rich family. As long as you hand over the money obediently, We won't hurt your life. If you don't hand it over, the knife in my hand will not be a vegetarian."

In the martial arts novels Jiang Chen read before, lines like this often appeared when he was being robbed.But I didn't expect that he would run into him today.

It seems that although this capital is at the feet of the emperor, it is not peaceful.Unexpectedly, as soon as it got dark, the bandits would become so rampant, and the security of the capital was also very worrying.

Ah Fu behind him had never seen such a battle before, and he had already forgotten all about wanting to pee.

His legs were shaking with fear.Even though he was scared, he still wanted to protect Jiang Chen. He emboldened himself and said loudly to the robber in front of him:

"Good man, please spare us. I have some scattered silver on me. As long as you let me and the young master go, I will give it all to you. I just ask you not to hurt our lives and give us a way to live."

The person who just spoke came to the two of them as soon as he raised his horse. He pointed a knife at Jiang Chen and said:

"You are lying to children. I think you are just a young man from a rich family. Why don't you take money with you when you go out? I advise you to be more honest with me. I said that I will let you live if you leave money. We are being mean, don’t blame the knife in my hand for not agreeing, take out the money quickly, or I will take action.”

Jiang Chen just observed them coldly and did not talk to that person.

At this time, Ah Fu was surrounded by many people and could only hear the sound of horse hooves circling around them.He begged them again:

"Good man, if you don't believe me, just come and search our bodies. If you have any money, give it all to the uncle. I just hope that the uncle will let us master and servant go."

The leader immediately saw that threats were of no use.He signaled to the followers behind him, and immediately four or five big men jumped off their horses and went straight to Jiang Chen and Ah Fu.

Indeed, they only found some scattered silver on Ah Fu's body, but found nothing on Jiang Chen's body.

The men took the pieces of silver from Ah Fu and said to the leader:

"General, we have encountered a pauper. We only have these scattered pieces of silver, which are not enough for the brothers to make tooth sacrifices. What do you think of dealing with these two people?"

The leader immediately ordered;

"I'll tie them up first, and I'll decide what to do with them later. I didn't expect such a big battle, but no money. It's really unlucky."

The four or five people, after receiving the instructions from the leader, took three steps at a time and arrived in front of Jiang Chen and Ah Fu.Just as he was about to tie up the two of them, Jiang Chen knocked those people to the ground with a burst of punches and kicks. The speed was so fast that even the leader on the horse was stunned.

He was just about to instruct the people behind him to come forward together, when Jiang Chen rushed towards the leader in front of him as fast as possible.

Seeing that Jiang Chen Wenwen was weak, that man scolded him several times and did not dare to say a word. He just thought that he was scared out of his wits by everyone.

I never expected that his movements would be so fast, and every move would be steady and ruthless.

The man was stunned. Just as he came to his senses, he wanted to step forward with his horse and go straight to Jiang Chen, swinging the knife.

But Jiang Chen spun around and suddenly came to the back of his horse, leaping onto his horse's back.

Jiang Chen's movements just now were as fast as flowing water, which shocked the leader.

The man couldn't turn around on the horse. He tried hard to throw Jiang Chen off the horse, but Jiang Chen hugged him tightly from behind, making him unable to move.

Jiang Chen knew that if he could capture the thief and capture the king, as long as he could control the leader, everything would be easy to solve.

He quickly locked the opponent's throat and said loudly to everyone:

"Everyone, stop it and let me go. If anyone dares to touch him, I will send him to the West immediately."

The group of people were stunned when they saw their leader being controlled.

But the man caught by Jiang Chen not only had no fear at this time, but also looked calm, as if nothing had happened at all. He said to his brothers:

"Those of you who let go of him first will get back first."

Those who were holding Ah Fu heard the leader's instructions and immediately let go of Ah Fu.Then he said to Jiang Chen:

"Young Master, we have released your man. Please don't hurt our general. Release him quickly."

Jiang Chen heard the man calling the man in front of him a general, and he said to the man in front of him:

"What a shameless statement. Are you worthy of the title of general? Generals are all heroes who defend their homes and countries on the front line. How can there be one like you who leads a group of people to commit murder and swindle bandits? Don't worry about it. The word general. I think you are also crazy about wanting to be an official. What I hate the most are you people who ignore the lives of the people and do shameless things like blocking roads and robbing homes and homes. It is you people who disrupt social order and cause harm to everyone. I will send all of you to the government and let you be punished by law."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen's words immediately angered the person in front of him.He roared loudly at Jiang Chen;

"I am not a bandit. We are not bandits at all. We are soldiers stationed in Xiliang following the general. Because General Li Chenglong accidentally fell into an enemy ambush during the battle with the Xiliang people, and his whereabouts are still unknown. But Liu Gu, the imprisoned army, accused the general of surrendering to the enemy and treason and reported it to the court. Just because the king didn't care about the crime, he ordered the execution of the general's family. General Li made many great contributions to the Xuanwu Dynasty in his life. I never thought that in the end I would be accused of treason and surrendering to the enemy. Why don't we, the soldiers who followed him and shed our blood in vain, feel heartbroken. Those of us who were lucky enough to escape death were also punished on various charges by the supervisors. We We were fighting for the imperial court on the front line, but those villains were still trying to kill us at the back, which really chilled the soldiers on the front line. So I grabbed some people and ran back secretly. Originally, we wanted to go to the Jinluan Palace to fight for Li The general is here to avenge his injustice. After getting the news, that dog thief Hu Gao sent people everywhere to kill us. We were hiding in Tibet, and we could hardly save our lives. But we people and horses, people need food, and horses also need food. If you want to eat grass, you can't just starve to death like this. If there is any movement, who is willing to do such a dirty thing? We have no choice but to do it. If you want to kill me, just kill me. I just ask you to let go of my brothers, they all have parents and children, I hope you will show mercy."

When Jiang Chen heard that he was actually a soldier who had followed his grandfather, his hand had already been released from his throat.After he finished speaking, Jiang Chen had jumped off the horse and landed firmly on the ground.

He cupped his fists and saluted the general on horseback:

"It turns out you are a subordinate of the general. Please blame me for the offense. Jiang Chen is rude."

After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to the man.

When the leader heard that he announced that he was Jiang Chen, he immediately got off his horse, came to him and asked for confirmation:

"Young Master just said your name is Jiang Chen, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded at him and said:

"Yes, my name is Jiang Chen."

The man asked again closely:

"Then let me ask you, are you Jiang Chen, the eldest son of Dingyuan Houfu?"

"Yes, general, I am Jiang Chen from Dingyuan Houfu, but I am no longer the eldest son of Dingyuan Houfu. I am just the son of my mother, Li Susu."

The man immediately knelt in front of Jiang Chen and cried like a child:

"Mr. Jiang, I finally found you. We are here to find the eldest lady. Now there is only the eldest lady in the Li family. We are here to ask the eldest lady for instructions on what to do next. There are hundreds of people in the Li family. The lives of young and old cannot be killed by them in vain. We must avenge this blood-sea of ​​blood."

When everyone saw what the leader said, they all knelt down and saw Jiang Chen.

This time, Ah Fu who was standing aside was dumbfounded.

Jiang Chen helped the leader in front of him, then called everyone to get up, and then comforted him and said:

"General, this bloody feud must be avenged. All officers and men, please stand up. Jiang Chen is so virtuous and capable that he dares to be bowed down by you. Get up quickly. But I haven't had time to ask the general's name and surname. General What do you call it?"

The man's eyes were shining with tears, and he said excitedly to Jiang Chen;

"My subordinate's name is Zhao Hu, and he has been listening to orders in front of Major General Li Shen's tent. This is the deputy general Wu Yue, who used to follow the general, and this is the deputy general Cui Qi. Speaking of which, the prince and I used to have We met by chance. You were seriously ill when you were six or seven years old. It was I who followed General Li Shen and brought the snow lotus I collected to the Hou Mansion at high speed. Unexpectedly, in a flash, the prince would also grow up. He is now an adult. However, I am very curious. Legends say that after the accident, the crown prince did not even have a clear mind, but the crown prince I saw was so heroic. Are those rumors deliberately slanderous to you? Woolen cloth."
