There is a girl in the village

In front of the tent of the Chinese army in the north suburban camp of Baoan City where the cold wind was howling, two young men faced each other with weapons, one holding a long gun and the other holding a short knife.

Looking at Lu Yuanchang's calm face, Wang Chao was in a daze. Since Lu Yuanchang followed him, the relationship between the two has been quite harmonious. Now they are facing each other like this, as if they are meeting each other for the first time.At that time, Lu Yuanchang was still weak, and it was easy for him to deal with her, but at this moment, Wang Chao has discovered that Lu Yuanchang's martial arts has improved a lot from the confrontation of momentum.

Lu Yuanchang didn't want to fight Wang Chao, but there were some things she had to do. She wanted the big seal, and there was no room for two tigers, especially the army, which needed absolute obedience. No matter what reason she retreated at this time, she couldn't get it Wang Chao's sincerity towards each other will only put Zhenbei Army in an embarrassing situation.

Song Wenbo looked at the two opponents with some concern. To be honest, he also wanted to compete, but no matter his martial arts or strategy, he couldn't compete with them. Since Song Dingtian preferred Lu Yuanchang, he would listen to it. Song Dingtian, since he was in Beijing, he understood the embarrassing situation of the Zhenbei Army better. If Lu Yuanchang could lead the Zhenbei Army out of the predicament, then he would give up his right of succession, and would be willing to serve Lu Yuanchang. Escort.

The old god Song Dingtian is here, today he is not only trying to settle his eldest son and nephew for Lu Yuanchang, he also wants to see Lu Yuanchang's determination, cruelty, and ambition.

Lu Yuanchang has always been excellent, but Lu Yuanchang is not the best choice for the general.She has no ambition, no enterprising spirit, she is too gentle, her methods are too weak, she is good at planning, but not good at making decisions, she lacks the most needed things for a general - strong, cold, and ruthless.

Now, this phenomenon has gradually changed. Song Dingtian didn't know that it was because of himself that Lu Yuanchang became interested in power. The seal symbolized power, and his trust pushed Lu Yuanchang to strengthen his belief. .

"A Yuan, if you beat me, I will submit to you!" Wang Chao got up, his movements followed by the sound, and he came straight to Lu Yuanchang.

"If you want to fight and fight again, don't say too much." Lu Yuanchang did not retreat, and went forward to meet the gun.

Wang Chao didn't play virtual games with Lu Yuanchang. It was like the first battle, without any warm-up. The first and only move was the "flying dragon soul-chasing gun"!

The first type, phantom gun!The afterimage of the Jiujiu 81 style, there is reality in the emptiness, and emptiness in the reality, the strips of golden gun body afterimages are intertwined into a net, Wang Chao used [-]% of his skills, the afterimage is as substantial as it is, with a sharp edge The inner strength gave Lu Yuanchang a strong sense of oppression.

Lu Yuanchang's face straightened, he was lucky with the knife, and slashed towards a certain hiding place.

"Clang~"

A light and crisp voice sounded, and Lu Yuanchang hit him with one blow. This first move poses no threat to Lu Yuanchang.

Wang Chao already knew Lu Yuanchang's skill, this first move was just a test.Once the pose was broken, Wang Chao twisted his arms continuously and turned around.

The second type, the prodigal son turns back.

Wang Chao took advantage of the situation, his movements were extremely skillful, and that tricky angle hit Lu Yuanchang's back.The speed was so fast that Lu Yuanchang's scalp felt numb in an instant, and her back felt cold. She was forced to bend forward, and the golden gun brushed her back and flew past.The cold wind carried by the gun's force swept across his broken back, and two strands of broken hair fell silently.

Lu Yuanchang didn't care about his embarrassment at all, his legs exerted strength, his body followed the trend, and the short knife slashed towards Wang Chao's side fiercely. The speed, strength, and inner strength were no weaker than Wang Chao's.

The golden light flashes, the third style, Overlord Spear.

Lu Yuanchang smiled lightly, smiled wryly, and smiled helplessly. Finally, the scene was repeated, half of the gun body was entwined endlessly, and the aura above the blade gradually dimmed.

The golden light flashed for the second time, and it was the tip of the soul chasing spear. Last time, she couldn't catch it, and this time, she still couldn't catch it.She thought she could do it herself, but after a little guidance from the old doctor, Lu Yuanchang had a higher understanding of martial arts.However, when the domineering spear tip came at him, Lu Yuanchang knew that he couldn't catch it.

Since you can't pick it up, then hide!

With five fingers stretched out, the dagger was released from his hand. Lu Yuanchang managed to escape the fatal blow with his lightness kung fu.

Wang Chao didn't attack again, he stopped his momentum, looked at the unarmed Lu Yuanchang, and said disdainfully: "In the past, you couldn't catch my gun, and you fought with bare hands, even though you were defeated. Now, you retreat completely, No bones left."

Facing Wang Chao's severe accusation, Lu Yuanchang smiled lightly, and she said: "The green hills are here, so I don't worry about running out of firewood. As long as I live, I will defeat you one day."

"Sure enough, hypocrisy!"

"This is not hypocrisy, but flexibility!" Lu Yuanchang said frankly.

The former friends are now tit for tat. There are both power struggles and differences in beliefs. Wang Chao is an upright man who always moves forward on the battlefield. Lu Yuanchang, after experiencing ups and downs, knows how to endure for a while. Pain, in exchange for a lifetime of peace.

"Enough!" Song Dingtian didn't want the two to turn against each other because of today's incident, so he said: "If you want to fight to the death, you two can fight again. If you don't fight, you can go back to the account and rest. Yin is temporarily here for the old man. If you can prove your ability to the old man, the old man will give the seal to him."

"Humph!"

Wang Chao snorted coldly, threw Lu Yuanchang's dagger on the ground, shook his head and went back to his camp. Lu Yuanchang picked up the dagger, bowed to Song Dingtian, and retreated silently.

"Father, will they..."

"No, they are all honest people."

The warm wind blows, the snow melts, and moistens the vast land. The branches sprout new shoots, which are green and gleaming with dewdrops. In the layers of wrapping, there is a touch of pink, light yellow, light blue, light The fresh fragrance, mixed with the smell of soil, rises slowly and spreads across the newly plowed fields, caresses the newly washed spring shirts, passes through the faded window grilles, and invades people's noses.

This is the smell of spring.

Gu Xiaofu, the landlady of the Lu family, took the old landlord's daughter, Guo'er, and two wolves, guarded by a hundred soldiers, and happily returned the house.

This trip can be regarded as a fruitful return. The land of the Lu family occupies all parts of Linchuan County, including paddy fields, dry land, and mountainous land. For Gu Xiaofu, who has lived on the land since she was a child, she has a strong land complex. Now, In the end, the wish of many years was smoothed out by land deeds.

After returning to the Lu Mansion, Gu Xiaofu only had a day off, and took the local products and the little girl to visit her mother's house.

"Oh, Yi'er, you've come back. If you don't come back again, Auntie will go to the village to lead someone in person." Mrs. Song joked.

"Sister-in-law, I brought a lot of products from the mountains this time, don't you like to eat them?" Gu Xiaofu joked back, the weather was good, and the mood was naturally beautiful, which relieved Lu Yuanchang's longing for the expedition. After pinching the thick letter in his arms, he felt full of energy.

Mrs. Song heard Gu Xiaofu's secret words, and couldn't help but feel that her sister-in-law was also naughty, after all, she was still young, even if she pretended to be an old town on weekdays, her nature was still a little childish.

"Mother, we have to be careful. Yi'er has pulled two full carts of goods this time. Youdao is reluctant to let the child not be caught by a wolf. Yi'er has spent all her money. I'm afraid she is begging us to do something big!" Song Song The sister-in-law teased Gu Xiaofu, and laughed out loud as she spoke.

"Aniang, you see my sister-in-law is bullying people, and a girl will naturally turn to her mother's family. Even if the Lu family is moved to our house, Da Lang can't say anything." Gu Xiaofu said coquettishly, grabbing Mrs. Song's arms with Guo'er.

Mrs. Song had known that Gu Xiaofu was buying fertile land with a large sum of dowry, so she understood her intentions, and she sighed that her daughter is a good wife and mother, and that she is doing nothing to the Lu family boy, and she knows how to bring some things back to her mother's house, which is enough. Gu Xiaofu estimated how many good things Gu Xiaofu brought back with these two carts of wild goods.

"Don't worry, Yi'er, your sister-in-law is teasing you, it's too late for her to hurt you." Mrs. Song persuaded, stroking Gu Xiaofu's white and tender hands.

Mrs. Song was rushing to be Gu Xiaofu's mother's age, so she couldn't bear the pain. As soon as Mrs. Song finished speaking, Mrs. Song asked her personal maid to hand a delicate box to Gu Xiaofu.

"Sister-in-law?" Gu Xiaofu asked in confusion.

"This is a new type of jewelry from the south. It just arrived a few days ago. I saw that it is suitable for young women to wear, so I will keep it for you. Take a look, do you like it?" Mrs. Song said lovingly.

"Sister-in-law, you can keep it for yourself. A Niang gave me some, and I only have one head, so I can't wear so many." Gu Xiaofu declined without even looking at it. She has already seen the world. Looking at the box, you can tell that the jewelry is extremely valuable.

"I'm going to be a mother-in-law soon. Do I still wear these to compete with your little daughter-in-law? Take a look, if you don't like it, I'll let the craftsman change it." Mrs. Song insisted.

Gu Xiaofu opened the box suspiciously, her eyes were filled with brilliance instantly, the red gold three phoenixes nodded and swayed, in the eyes of the three phoenixes, there were three gems of the same color inlaid in the eyes of the three phoenixes, the gems were the size of quail eggs, extremely luxurious and the most exquisite At the top is the tail of the three phoenixes. The red gold is thick and thin, and at the end it is thinner than a hair, but the top is not smooth, but creates a spiral of silk, which makes the three phoenixes come alive, and the light passes by. , the three phoenixes are still, but the brilliance is shining. If they are worn on the hair, they will grow lotuses every step of the way.

"Sister-in-law, this... This is too precious, you can keep it, my family is about to marry a wife, wouldn't it be better if you give her a meeting gift." Gu Xiaofu politely declined.

"My daughter-in-law, I have my own arrangements. This is for you. If you like it, you can accept it." Mrs. Song insisted.

"Yi'er, don't talk to your sister-in-law, we are from my own family, and if something happens to your sister-in-law, you should do your best to help her." Mrs. Song persuaded.

Gu Xiaofu hesitated again and again, but finally accepted Mrs. Song's gift.In addition to Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song also gave Gu Xiaofu precious jewelry as if they had made an appointment. Mrs. Song gave a sandalwood Buddha beads hanging chain, and Mrs. Song gave a set of red gold hair.

If only Mrs. Song was like this, Gu Xiaofu would not think too much about it, but the three women of the Song family were like this, and Mrs. Song even secretly slipped 1 taels of silver bills into Gu Xiaofu, which made Gu Xiaofu have to think too much After much deliberation, that is to say, I exchanged the dowry for the land, and my natal family was afraid that I would be wronged, so they used different ways to subsidize myself.

Are you moved?very touched.This is an expression of true feelings. The heavy jewelry entrusts a lot of family affection, not the kind of extravagant feelings of the Gu family. Gu Xiaofu has never valued money, but she attaches great importance to friendship. The Song family is like this, which makes her deepen her love for this family. Belonging.

After lunch, Gu Xiaofu accompanied Mrs. Song to have a rest. After the two chatted about the household affairs, Gu Xiaofu handed over the small notebook that she had planned for many days to Mrs. Song, and said, "Mother, please read it for me. These are appropriate."

Mrs. Song flipped through the diary suspiciously, and after just one glance, she couldn't believe it. She sat up and looked through it carefully, her expression became more serious the more she looked.

After closing the notebook, Mrs. Song asked solemnly, "Yi'er, what do you mean?"

Gu Xiaofu also got up and said: "You know, Madam, Da Lang always recruits some private soldiers when he fights with Daddy. The Lu family's foundation is too weak, how many people can they support if there is no payment from the court. Let's fight with Daddy I am afraid that the relationship between the imperial court will only become more tense. If the imperial court cuts off the military salary of the Zhenbei Army, Da Lang will definitely not be able to sustain it. I guess that my father will also have to worry about the salary. Fighting at the front, I can't take care of these things, I bought land in the county these days to plan for the future of our Zhenbei Army."

Private soldiers can also eat military pay, as long as they transfer to the military. Although the imperial court does not allocate much money, it is always a source. If it is cut off, not only private soldiers, but also government soldiers will lose their salary. Disbanding and returning to the field, or spending on their own, no matter which one, Song Dingtian is unable to do it now, and Lu Yuanchang is even more unable to do it.

If there is a good wife in the family, if there is a treasure, it is Gu Xiaofu.Mrs. Song was shocked that a girl born in the countryside could have such a long-term perspective, and what made her even more gratified was that Gu Xiaofu was not like ordinary women. When her husband went to the front line, he would either be drunk at home or feel sorry for himself. Self-pity, but in the rear, create a strong backing for those in front.

Mrs. Song has already done the things involved in Gu Xiaofu's letter in secret. This is the experience and keen political foresight she accumulated with Song Dingtian for decades, and now the pure Gu Xiaofu actually has such a plan , How not to make Mrs. Song happy.

"Good Yier, let my mother tell you what's good about you." Mrs. Song really resents herself now, if Gu Xiaofu hadn't been lost back then, under her own careful teaching, she would have been so magnificent.

"Aniang, Yi'er just wants to do something. Daddy Dalang risked his life to fight for a stable life for me. I can't just sit back and enjoy it." Gu Xiaofu's plain words made Mrs. Song's mood extremely complicated.

The two mothers and daughters each have their own plans for things, and they got a lot of inspiration when talking about it together. It took the two of them several days to finalize the direction and start to deal with it.

This matter requires a man to come forward, and Song Wenji, who is the most idle, is the best candidate.Song Wenji is a jerk, a ruffian, and at the same time, he is also a person with a good mind. These days, he feels a deep sense of crisis. This kind of feeling will never be felt in a prosperous place like the capital.

The most respected mother and the most beloved younger sister asked him to come forward, and he naturally agreed without saying a word.Because the matter was of great importance, Song Wenji changed from his past laziness and began to deal with business affairs seriously.The Song family has a good inheritance, and Song Wenji naturally has it. In the past, it was just that he didn't want to do it before the critical moment. Now that he is doing business seriously, his excellent communication skills have begun to show off. The Song family's shop, the Lu family's grain field, and the cotton are grown by themselves. , self-grown wood, fine iron smuggled, low price and good quality, one pile after another, all carried out smoothly in the plan of the three mothers.

The Song family was thriving, and the Lu family's rise was unstoppable, but at this moment, bad news came from ahead.

Zhenbei Army was defeated!Lu Yuanchang, the adjutant of the Chinese army, and Wang Chao, the former general of the army, were ambush and were seriously injured.
