The husband's son-in-law

Yuan Bao didn't drool very much earlier, but during the Chinese New Year, the Li family came and hugged him affectionately and never let go. He loved her very much. Brother Lin sometimes didn't know what to say. His mother and two sisters-in-law also loved their children, and they couldn't do it all year round. Come on, I have to let you hug her. Later, when I went back, brother Lin found that Yuan Bao was drooling.

He blamed himself for a while, and he knew that he should persuade his mother and sister-in-law not to rub Yuan Bao's face.

Li Zhou knew what was going on when he saw it on Monday, so he said: "I was in the village when I was pregnant with Fubao, and the elders in the village were even more enthusiastic. Sometimes it's hard to say, but most of the time I avoided excuses. I can't help but kiss the baby when I hold it and see how cute it is, so Fu Bao drools when he was a child, this is not a problem, it will be fine when he grows up."

"Remember to wipe it with a soft cloth, otherwise the saliva will turn red on the flesh under the neck."

"It's like this when you become Dad for the first time. In fact, you don't need to take any small things to heart. Yuan Bao knows that Dad loves him, and he is happier than anything else."

Since Brother Lin gave birth, maybe Meng Jianyun was not around, so he was very concerned about Yuanbao. Responsibility cannot be fulfilled, people will be in a bad mood after a long time, and it will be bad.

Can't do this.

So Li Zhouzhou would also go to his yard with Yuan Bao to play, so that Brother Lin could have his own time, chat with Wang Jian, or go to the shop to make clothes he liked, instead of being stuck at home and walking around the child, You have to do your own thing.

Wang Jian took a soft cloth and wiped Yuan Bao's saliva, but couldn't kiss, so he coaxed Yuan Bao to babble.

"Godfather is going to be busy in a while, can I bring some fun things for Yuan Bao later?"

Yuan Bao babbled twice, and shook the jade chain in his hand, making a tinkling sound.After hearing this, Brother Lin said, "He's still young and he doesn't need anything now, brother, don't bother him, just come back safely."

"It's not to buy goods, but to go to Liangjun to have a look." Wang Jian said: "We have never seen the new things over there. I will go and have a look first, and bring you and Yuanbao some to play with later."

People now call Nanyi two counties, mainly Ronghua County and Nanjiang County, but they have to be mentioned separately. Everyone knows that it was originally a place, and they are curious about it, and they don’t know the difference, so they call it together first.

"Isn't it dangerous?" Brother Lin asked.

Wang Jian picked up the good ones and said, "They've all been shot down. Now the army used to take care of them. The boss is also going this time. They're all going to big cities. There shouldn't be any danger."

"Father is going too?" Brother Lin was surprised.

Wang Jiangang was really surprised when he heard it, but it didn't seem to matter when he thought about it, "The boss has the ability, foresight and mind. In the past few years, he let go of our subordinates to go into business. That means the factory market is stable. Even if our subordinates have something wrong Even if we lose, the boss can hold on to it and let us do it. I think I have been tempered. If the two counties were defeated earlier, I would be allowed to do it a few years earlier. I would not dare to be timid. No, now I am very confident, even if there are hardships and stumbling blocks, I can confidently take it down."

"In the past few years, the boss didn't want to leave the business, but it didn't mean that he lost his career and didn't do anything."

Upon hearing this, Brother Lin whispered, "Brother, did I put my mind too much on Yuan Bao and Meng Jianyun? I should also learn from my father? In fact, my father also encouraged me to play more or play more. to the store."

"The boss definitely doesn't dislike you. You are sensitive now. Meng Jianyun hasn't come back for a long time. It's so dangerous for him to go to the battlefield. He will stay at home for two months to recuperate. It's nothing to worry about. For Yuanbao, your first When you become a father once, can you not love him because you were born, even if I recognize him as a godson, I would be very rare."

"I think what the boss means is that you should love yourself first and take care of yourself. Only when you are happy and energetic can you love Yuan Bao and Meng Jianyun."

"During Meng Jianyun's absence, you have Yuanbao, a job you like, and friends. He knows that you are happy and appoints someone who is more at ease."

Brother Lin listened and nodded.Now that I think about it, when he was pregnant with Yuanbao, my father liked to ask him to come out to bask in the sun and talk. In fact, it was not that my father thought it was interesting, but because he was worried about him. He didn't want him to be too indulged in worrying about Meng Jianyun's emotions .

Including later, when Meng Jianyun recovered from his injuries and went back to the battlefield, he didn't really want to have fun. He felt that Meng Jianyun was not safe when he was fighting outside.

He got it wrong.

Brother Lin was startled, and at this moment his mind cleared up a lot.

In the first half of Tianshun's fifth year, time was rushing, everyone was busy except Mrs. Gu, even Brother Lin didn't stay at home looking at Yuanbao all day, he went to the store three days a week, he was worried about Yuanbao, so he took it with him. go together.

When Yuan Bao was one year old, Lord Gu made a small stroller for his grandson—the kind that could sit on a small three-wheeled cart, and he pushed him away from the back.Xiao Yuanbao especially likes to go to the store, sitting on the cart is very good, only babbling and babbling when she is thirsty and urinating.

There are mostly women and young girls in the shop, Lin Geer is designing and making clothes, and every day I hear the women say something about their parents, and sometimes there are couples bickering about getting started——

The woman put her hands on her hips angrily, and said, "I'll tear off his ears! Let him dare to peek at the woman next to him."

Brother Lin pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that the woman was very powerful, so he told the woman that these bright colors are suitable for women, the red and green collide, and the woman is lively and rich.

The woman couldn't put it down, she praised and praised, "The next shop also has the same style of clothes, but I always think that Brother Wulin, your colors are well matched, novel and beautiful, and you are the only one."

It is mainly matched according to the personality traits of different people, gentle, pungent, delicate, strong, all kinds of beauty.

After the two counties took over, at the beginning of April, Li Zhouzhou took Wang Jian and the escort caravan over there.Mrs. Gu has become the dad who looks after Fubao at home, but Li Zhaoxi is now an adolescent boy, being clinged to by his dad is sometimes like coaxing a baby, saying to his dad: "Dad, my homework is really hard. , but also to play football and do handicrafts, or you go to grow vegetables with grandpa?"

"... Li Zhaoxi, do you despise me? If you think I'm naive, just say so!" Mrs. Gu was annoyed.

Li Zhaoxi was in a dilemma, "Father, we are all grown-ups—" Before he finished speaking, his father gave him a hard rub, Li Zhaoxi was so angry that he jumped up and said, "I'm going to sue my grandpa!"

"Come back!" Mr. Gu chased after him.

The whole Li Mansion is like a monkey running in the sky, jumping up and down and thundering and blasting non-stop - this refers to Mr. Gu making a lot of noise every day.

Li Da didn't like the father and son being an official and the master broke up the lawsuit anymore, he hated it.

It has only been five days since Zhou Zhou left, and Li Da is missing his son, not because he is worried about Zhou Zhou's safety, but because he is looking forward to Zhou Zhou's return as soon as possible, so that Zhao'er can be restrained as soon as possible!

"Father, why did you restrain me and not Li Zhaoxi, it was obviously Li Zhaoxi who provoked me first."

Li Da: "..."

"Let's go, go ahead and have a look, don't have any business left behind." Li Da chased away everyone, and no one was left behind.

As soon as the father and son went out, Mr. Gu was downcast. When Li Zhaoxi saw it, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Father, it's my fault. What did you want to play? I'll do my homework later and play with you first."

"What did you say? Let's go." Mr. Gu clamped his son's head with his arms, and said happily: "I want to improve the anti-vibration of the cart. This requires a spring. The craftsman just figured it out a few days ago. I gave Yuanbao the cart Change it."

Li Zhaoxi saw that his father was very elated, his head was caught in the crook of his arm, and he was being dragged away. He always wondered if his father just pretended to be depressed to scare him.

This father is too cunning.

Master Gu got a new toy and showed it to his son. Li Zhaoxi looked at it and said, "This spring is similar to a slingshot. They are both elastic. Dad, can this one hold arrows? It can definitely shoot farther."

"..." Gu Zhao looked at Li Zhaoxi with a complicated face. In fact, this spring is not specially made for children's cars - of course, he was thinking about the spring at first, and after he made it, he thought more about it.

There are also crossbows nowadays, but they are crossbow arrows. The range is farther than that of bows and arrows. The armored cavalry over there are very powerful, and their defense is also high. The second prince has never been able to deal with this team.

The best way to deal with cavalry is crossbow arrows. A wave of long-range shooting will disperse the horses and scatter in all directions.However, armored cavalry has shield soldiers, which are impenetrable in defense and offense, and they are well-drilled in everything.

Since the disappearance of Nanyi, Fan Kingdom has surrendered to Hui Kingdom, and Rongzhou is also surrounded by Fourteen and Rong Si. There is Rong Si, a military adviser in charge of literature, who is really efficient and good at methods. Don't worry about it - he shouldn't worry about it in essence, and he can't get involved.

The letter that has come in now is that the fan country and the Anguo have joined forces to form an alliance. The armored cavalry of the Anhui country, the fan country should also learn from it. It seems quiet in the first half of the year, but this battle has not been played——

When he was idle working on a child's stroller, Mr. Gu extended from the spring to the machine spring bed crossbow.

If the arrow is made of iron, with gunpowder stuffed inside, the core is ignited, fired in a high-speed arc, and exploded by friction——

Everything is made up by Mr. Gu's imagination, and he hasn't actually done it yet.

There are iron mines in Zhaozhou, as well as saltpeter - saltpeter is used to make ice, this thing is actually one of the raw materials for making gunpowder, Gu Zhao was not happy to do this before, so he used it to make ice for enjoyment.

Now I am hesitant to make explosives and weapons. Now it is cold weapons, swords and swords. If gunpowder is used, the damage will be even more severe, mainly because he brought it.

Hearing Fu Bao say this at this time, Gu Zhao asked: "It is possible to do this, and it can be done even more powerfully, but if it is done, what if it is so powerful that others are not opponents, and those in power take the lead in killing innocent people indiscriminately?"

"But Dad, even if you don't do it, the same people will still be killed and injured in the war, and the people's life will be difficult."

Li Zhaoxi looked at his father and said, "Father, if you really don't want to do it, you won't let people think about it."

Gu Zhao is indeed doing it sideways, but he is always afraid that he will open the box——

"Let me make it first, maybe I don't need to worry about it, the blueprint in my mind can't be realized in reality." Gu Zhao said.

In fact, there are indeed some difficulties that need to be overcome, but it does not mean that this cannot be done.Gu Zhao has lived in this era for so many years. From the small inventions along the way to the present, he already knows how to adapt to local conditions. In this era, the bombs and landmines of the indigenous methods are shocking.

When Gu Zhao was concentrating on the design of the weapon painting in the mansion, a proving ground was built not far from Zhaozhou city, and all the things had to be taken there to assemble and try. It was far away from the villages near the city and was relatively remote .

With this thing to do, Mr. Gu is no longer the person that cats and dogs hate.

Beijing.

Prince Cheng's residence.

It was too quiet and peaceful, and Prince Cheng was not happy. Fengzhou's second son didn't move, and Rongzhou didn't fight, why didn't they fight, why didn't they die.

Prince Cheng likes to watch people die in battle, he likes to see the people panic and chaos in the city, and he likes to watch his good sixth brother escape from the capital with his tail between his tails in fear. It's not good that he is so quiet now.

"It's time for the second child and the fourteenth to fight. If the second child can hold back, then add some firewood. I don't believe that the second child will not hold grudges when the Zhao family is destroyed."

Now that the Zhao family is gone, there are still plenty of hostages in Beijing.

Concubine Duan, the wife and children of the second child, who should be treated?Prince Cheng touched the empty sleeve, and his eyes were crazy and fierce. The pain of his broken arm will definitely be felt by this person thousands of times.

After the second prince established himself as the king side by side, and stretched the northwest region, Emperor Tianshun in Beijing treated the second prince's wives and children with a little bit of indifference. In the past, he gave them dignity and dignity, but now they are confined to the mansion, and they are not allowed. Walking around and going out, all the servants inside were replaced by palace servants—but the palace servants were not allowed to bully the second prince and concubine, and they still provided food and drink.

It can be seen that Emperor Tianshun was still timid in his conflicts, because he was afraid that the second prince would come back and dare not offend.But they didn't know that the two of them had no affection to talk about long ago, only blood feud, even if Emperor Tianshun treated the relatives of the second prince preferentially, it was just because he died more neatly.

Let's just say that now, something happened to the impregnable walls of the Fuzheng Palace.

"Is the second eldest son poisoned? How could he be poisoned?!" Emperor Tianshun was so frightened when he received the news that he got up from his favorite brother, put on his clothes and lifted the curtain, and came out to ask the eunuch.

The eunuch knelt down, did not dare to lift his head, his face was pale and his forehead was covered with soybean-like sweat, and he said politely: "Go back to the emperor, at two o'clock in the application time, the auxiliary government palace sent back news that the eldest son is just like in the past, and he has finished practicing calligraphy and writing skills." A plate of snacks and tea, within a moment—”

Emperor Tianshun couldn't wait for these chatters, so he kicked the eunuch on the shoulder, "I ask you how you are? Is your life still alive?" He turned around anxiously, "If your life is still alive, but you fall like Eleven, it's inhumane, old man Er that bastard must not be killed and returned to the capital."

"Hurry up, pack up your things, it happens to be hot, and go to the palace."

"By the way, where are people? Are you alive?"

When Emperor Tianshun finished his anxiety, he turned back to ask the eunuch. The eunuch wept and said, "Go back to the Holy Majesty, and go to the imperial hospital for treatment. I don't know what's going on now."

"Quick, get out of the palace." After Tianshun Emperor finished speaking, he said again: "I won't go, where is Geng Zhong?"

Zhu Gengzhong came in a hurry, knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, the servant has just sent someone to the assistant government's palace to wait. If there is any movement, I will reply immediately."

"Go in person and see what's going on. Who is so courageous and how could he be poisoned?"

Zhu Gengzhong took the order and hurried out of the Holy Lord's bedroom.His Majesty was furious just now, so he naturally couldn't rush to the front to report the news, so a little eunuch stepped forward. Now that the Holy Spirit has sent out his anger and calmed down, it's time for him to show his face.

On the way out of the palace, Zhu Gengzhong cursed in a low voice, muttering in his heart that the eldest son must be alive, no matter what he said, his life must be saved.

As soon as Zhu Gengzhong arrived at the gate of the Fuzheng Palace, he heard crying from inside, the eldest son was gone.Now Zhu Gengzhong, the chief eunuch, was also panic-stricken, and went in bravely - he had to ask about the situation before he could reply to His Majesty's words.

After Emperor Tianshun heard the news, the first thing he said was to suppress the news, not to let the news out, and then turned around, "... Hurry up and invite Prince Cheng into the palace."

"I want to go to the palace to escape the summer heat, and it happens to be hot." After Tianshun told Prince Cheng what the eldest son was up to, he followed up with the matter of summer escape. His face was calm, like the eldest son died and Going to escape the summer heat is two different things, he didn't escape because he was afraid of the second prince.

Prince Cheng pondered for a while and said: "It's fine for the sage to go up to escape the summer heat, but it's a must. Besides, now that the eldest son has no news and is still in Beijing, and it hasn't reached Fengzhou, the sage doesn't need to worry."

It means running for the first time, and running the second time for the second time must have a trick.

When Emperor Tianshun heard the same thing, he said, "Then what should we do?"

"Your Majesty forgot, there are still fourteen soldiers and horses who can rescue you. If the second child dares to come, he will just kill this traitor."

Emperor Tianshun stopped when he heard this, and then clapped his hands, "Yes, what if Fourteen loses?"

"If Fourteen loses, it can be delayed for some time. At that time, the Holy Majesty will have time to go to escape the summer heat. If he wins—"

After winning and beheading the second child, the traitor, he can sit back and relax as the emperor, and he is no longer afraid of a sword hanging over his head.After Emperor Tianshun thought about it, it was all beneficial to him, even if he lost, he would die at fourteen, so what did it have to do with him.

It's apprehension and some anticipation.

But it never occurred to me that the previous battle was in a sparsely populated city on the edge of the city. If the fourteenth army and the second Fengzhou army were fighting, the army led by the king would have to go straight to the necessary points in Kyoto, which is the northern part of the Central Plains. Once a big city is fought, it will involve a lot of people. How can the people protect themselves?

Emperor Tianshun didn't think about the people at all, what he only thought about was his own safety and the power to sit back and relax.

Rongzhou, in the big tent of the military camp.

"Look, bro." Fourteen handed over the unopened secret order.

Rong Ye was not polite either, he took it and read it before letting Fourteen watch it, and said: "Sooner or later, there will be such a day, but I didn't expect the emperor to wait, so fast."

This battle was inevitable, Rong Ye had already expected it, but what he wanted was to take it easy and solve the foreign aggression first. Now that the situation in Dali is like this, the Holy Majesty still has to fight against each other, and only the common people will be affected, and once the army breaks out, The Fan Kingdom and the Anise Kingdom are watching covetously, and they will definitely take the opportunity to plunder and attack.

"I have to go." Fourteen said.

Rong Ye nodded. He had only shown his loyalty to the emperor during the [-]th Chinese New Year and had to endure humiliation. Now of course he had to obey the emperor's order - this side gave up halfway.

"How many soldiers and horses to bring? Less, you and the second prince will be in danger, more, and Rongzhou may fall."

In the past, Rong Ye probably wouldn't have thought so much about it. Taking into account the lives of the people, the city fell, and it would be the same when the [-]th power was in hand and they fought back.But the current Rong Ye, on the surface, is still cold and unapproachable, but in fact, he has changed a lot.

In the few years in Zhaozhou, the subtle changes were more and more profound than what Rong Ye thought.

"It's impossible for Fengzhou to bring all the troops, there will always be some." Fourteen words did not mean to be afraid, and said: "I will bring [-] soldiers and horses, and leave [-] for Meng Jianyun to take care of. Brother, you know, Rongzhou should not fall."

Rong Ye frowned, "There are 14 troops in Fengzhou, even if [-] are left, there are still [-] soldiers and horses. Your [-] soldiers and horses are the same as [-] soldiers. Are you crazy and want to die?"

"That does not work."

"Let me think about it."

But there are only so many soldiers and horses. Even if the soldiers are temporarily recruited, but in the past few years, the men in the households of the people in a city near Rongzhou have been recruited one after another. Unless they go north to the city, it will be too late. , the Holy Majesty wants the fourteenth to arrive as soon as possible.

Fourteen said: "Otherwise, bro, I'll take 4 people there first, and station them in central Beijing. You can recruit the rest. Maybe the second brother hasn't called yet."

"I'm not here, so don't act rashly." Rong Ye finally said.He tried to mobilize troops.

Meng Jianyun entered the big tent and received the soldier horse and tiger talisman. He decided to guard the people of Rongzhou well and not let the Fan Kingdom gain a city.

"Well, I'll leave tomorrow, Rongzhou will be handed over to you." Fourteen said.

Rong Ye looked at Meng Jianyun, thought for a while and then said: "If there is really no other way, you can retreat for a while to protect the people, you pay attention to safety."

When Shisi heard this, he ordered Meng Jianyun to go out, and when they left, Shishi looked at Rong Ye.

"elder brother."

Without turning his head, Rong Ye said, "He has a wife and son in his family, and he is Zhou Zhou's adopted son. People's lives are fate, and so is his." Looking back at Fourteen, "I came out of Rong's mansion that day and asked It's not because I want to see Li Zhouzhou, I lost my life a long time ago."

"Fourteen, although I have been in Zhaozhou for a short time, and I am not very familiar with Li Zhouzhou, but he is my friend, do you understand?"

Rong Ye is not a warm-hearted person by nature. When he was Mr. Rong, he was surrounded by friends, but they were just casual acquaintances. Unlike Li Zhouzhou, Li Zhouzhou was his life-saving benefactor, and even his dearest friend. .

Even if the two have different growth backgrounds and different educational topics and hobbies, there are some things that can be combined most importantly. This is a close friend, even if they are far away, they don't often chat.

Fourteen's dark thoughts of thriving and crazily growing were quickly dispelled by Rong Ye's gaze, and he became a normal person from a violent, possessive mad dog with a strong enclosure.

"Brother, I know the friend you value."

"Master Gu's family saved me, their adopted son, it's more important to save my life."

Fourteen's words, in fact, he doesn't care about the lives of the people, he only cares about what he wants to care about - whatever Rong Ye cares about, he also cares about what Rong Ye cares about.
