Chapter 951 Chapter 951: Beating (Part 2) [Asking for monthly votes]

Very few people noticed that Gongxi Qiu had a private army.

This private army is not large in scale. He started to form it under Tang Guo’s tent when he was young. Most of the soldiers are orphans he adopted or young and desperate rangers. At that time, he had no idea of ​​supporting soldiers and respecting himself. He simply wanted to find a way to eat Tang Guo’s free salary. As Tang Guo’s nominally important adopted son, shouldn’t he also provide money to support the soldiers raised by his adopted son?

It’s great to spend your enemy’s money to support your own soldiers!

It’s just that Gong Xiqiu was very proud and relied on his superior military strength. He did not take ordinary enemies into consideration and led his troops to kill them head-on. Therefore, he doesn’t think much of this private soldier. In the following years, private soldiers were brought everywhere to fight for others, and the scale expanded from a few hundred to more than a thousand. Back then, when he left to find his brother and nephew, he was too lazy to lead the army and left it to Gong Xi.

With this elite team at his side and Mama taking care of them, Gongxi’s life will be very prosperous if nothing else happens. This was one of the reasons why he felt so at ease as the hands-off shopkeeper – Gong Xilai was an adult who could make the decisions and didn’t need his constant care.

 “Gongxi Langjun wants to find General Xun?”

Lin Feng didn’t think about this level for a moment, she only thought about Xun Ding.

If you look into it carefully, Xun Ding can also be regarded as a member of the old department.

“Xun Yong’an? Huh, let’s look for his bad luck again tomorrow. I’m going to find his old subordinates now to find out what happened in these years.” Gong Xiqiu didn’t want to mention Xun Ding, and then he thought that Lin Feng was a civil servant, and he was with The general was probably not familiar with them, so he mentioned a few old troops that he had an impression of and tried his luck.

 Coincidentally, one of them, Lin Feng, also knows—

Yang Ying, Yang Shengmei.

 “By coincidence, Shengmei just came back to report on his work a while ago.”

Lin Feng called people over and sent Gong Xiqiu to Yang Ying’s house.

Yang Ying lives with her father Yang Gong.

When Gong Xiqiu came, Yang Yingzheng personally sent a young man dressed as a doctor out: “…My father’s body suffered a serious deficit in his early years. Is there any chance to make up for it now?”

 Physician: “If the root is damaged, it can only be nursed back to health slowly.”

Yang Ying’s brows were filled with sadness, and the shadow covered half of her face: “Oh, that’s the only way it can be. Doctor, please be more careful. As long as it’s effective, any good medicine can be used.”

The hidden wounds accumulated during the cultivation process will explode at a certain point without sufficient martial energy to suppress and regulate them, and the body will age faster than ordinary people. Although my father seems to be relatively healthy in recent years, he gets sick every time the seasons change.

 The recovery speed is also slower every time.

Yang Ying regularly uses Qi to nourish his meridians, but the meridians are riddled with holes, like a sieve, with little effect.

The doctor nodded: “This is natural.”

He hesitated in place, as if hesitating: “I heard that the imperial doctor of the Medical Department made a breakthrough in the regeneration of severed limbs over there. Mr. Yang suffered from martial arts in his early years, and I don’t know if he can repair it this way. If Captain has a way. , you can try it, maybe it will work.”

Danfu is not one of the human organs after all.

It’s hard to say whether the spirit of regenerating severed limbs will work.

The doctor’s words just gave her hope.

Yang Ying silently wrote down: “Okay, thank you very much.”

Sent the doctor away, he was about to turn around and go home but stopped, looked back at the shadows, secretly put his hand on the handle of the sword at his waist, and secretly asked, “Who is it, come out?”

“It’s me.” Gong Xiqiu walked out secretly.

Yang Ying breathed a sigh of relief: “When did the general return?”

 Compared with the elegance of Lin Feng’s mansion, the decoration in Yang Ying’s home is much simpler, and everything is based on comfort and practicality.

 She led Gong Xiqiu to the main hall.

 The last time the two met was a few years ago.

From Yang Ying’s mouth, Gong Xiqiu learned about the situation of those old tribes in recent years – some of them were due to old injuries and age. Gong Xi took the initiative to release them to good families, and also found a way out. Some experienced people went to Zhechong Mansion in various places. Bringing in new recruits, those with better qualifications choose to work in the army, and their lives are not bad.

 At this point, Yang Ying paused.

 “These are Alai’s ideas.”

 Although Gong Xiqiu handed over these private soldiers to Gong Xilai, he was the real person responsible for these soldiers. When Gongxi made this decision, he hesitated for a long time and felt uneasy in his heart. Her choice was equivalent to disbanding Gongxi Qiu’s old tribe.

Failing to do so will delay their future.

 “Alai did a good job and was much more responsible than me.”

Gong Xiqiu didn’t have any displeasure on his face and was very happy.

He never thought that he would stay in the secular world forever. He originally planned to find relatives and return to his family to live a small life. He also did not think that he was the commander-in-chief’s son. He was only responsible for leading troops to charge into battle. Therefore, he did not care about these old troops. of.

 As a master, this behavior is quite irresponsible.

Gongxi came to help him deal with the aftermath, and he felt relieved.

Yang Ying added: “Xun Yong’an also contributed a lot.”

 When Gong Xiqiu came back at this critical moment, Yang Ying knew that Xun Yongan was going to have to be beaten. It was understandable that Gong Xichou didn’t like Xun Ding. If he hadn’t arrived in time and followed Xun Ding’s bandit attitude, even if he had restrained his subordinates from harming women and children, she and Gong Xilai would have had to endure hardship.

Who could have imagined at that time that Xun Ding and Gong Xi could succeed?

This pair of experiences can be sung for a long time if they are compiled into a storybook.

Gong Xiqiu’s expression changed slightly and he was noncommittal.

Yang Ying: “Have you gone to see Alai?”

Gong Xiqiu showed hesitation: “I plan to ask Xun Yongan before going to see her. She is pregnant now, and she should be asleep at this point. It is extremely dangerous for women to give birth, and she is not too young now… nor I know how much suffering I have to endure…”

Yang Ying was secretly surprised.

She and Gong Xilai were close friends, and she had heard the latter confide that Gong Xichou and Gong Xilai were brothers and sisters after all, and the opportunity for the two to become sworn friends was that Gong Xichou was worried that he would not be able to come back for revenge. Only then did the future of the clan be entrusted to her. How much true feelings could there be in this situation? Gong Xilai is a bit timid and has low self-esteem, and he does not dare to be unscrupulous in his hatred towards Gong Xilai.

  Gong Xiqiu may have more responsibilities for her.

Yang Ying comforted and said: “Don’t think so much. There are many brothers and sisters of the same mother in the world, and their feelings are also indifferent and alienated.” At least there are not many brothers who are willing to give their private soldiers and all their wealth to their sisters. Gongxi Qiu’s treatment of you is always different. 】

 As he said this, he also agreed with Gong Xi Lai in his heart.

 But, now that I look at it again, I feel that I was wrong.

He doesn’t care about Gong Xi Lai in his heart as much as he does on the surface.

Yang Ying: “You don’t blame her?”

Gong Xiqiu felt puzzled: “Why blame her?”

Of course it’s her fault for making the right decisions.

Yang Ying considered it and said: “The child she and Xun Yong’an have… is what Alai wants. Originally, she wanted to wait for you to come back to host the marriage, but she is an ordinary person after all, different from you and different from Xun Yong’an. Xun Yong’an She can stay young for many years, but she can’t delay it for too long. I remember a few months ago, she wrote to me saying that she had gray hair, probably because of this…”

　Whose wedding is not prepared a year and a half in advance?

 Gong Xiqiu is still Gong Xilai’s only relative. His whereabouts have been uncertain in recent years, and he has been traveling all over the continent. It is not easy to send him a letter home, and some time must be set aside. Otherwise, her wedding would be over before the letter home was delivered. She was also worried that she would not be able to get pregnant because she was too old. After she decided to get married and set the wedding date, she did not avoid it. Unexpectedly, the child came so quickly that she was caught off guard.

“Alai and Xun Yong’an decided to get married first, and she got pregnant later… Strictly speaking, it can’t be too outrageous.” Yang Ying made some asides to find love for the newlyweds.

Gong Xiqiu blinked, his eyes a little confused.

 He seemed to realize this just now.

Gong Xi Lai is different from him.

only-

 “Alai must not have read the clan literature carefully.”

Gongxi Qiu Lengbuding said something like this, which made Yang Ying confused: “What does this matter have to do with the clan documents?”

Nai He Gong Xiqiu refused to say more.

He only left one sentence: “Ask Xun Ding to wait for me on the outskirts of the city. If he doesn’t come, I will break all his legs! Can’t the medical department regenerate severed limbs? Well, it doesn’t matter if they are all broken off.”

Gong Xiqiu did not say the specific time.

 Half a quarter of an hour later—

Xun Ding grabbed the servant who delivered the message and refused to let go. “Gong Xiqiu, do you really say that?”

General Yao Guangwei, who looked calm to outsiders, was now pacing back and forth in the house anxiously. The more he walked, the more painful his legs became. After repeated inquiries, he still got the same answer. Xun Ding scratched his messy hair and muttered: “Tsk, I won’t be back for a long time. I won’t be back until later…”

It happened to be that he was coming back just before his wedding.

Gong Xiqiu didn’t know the severity of his attacks. If Xun Ding got a beating from him, it would be normal for him to be unable to get out of bed for ten and a half months. How much face will Alai lose if all the guests read the joke?

No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to go see her.

He dared to hide, but Gong Xiqiu really dared to kill.

The moonlight tonight was bright and clear, but Xun Ding was not in the mood to admire the moon. He walked step by step to the agreed place, and saw two people here from a distance. One person is sitting on the ground, and the other person is standing upright on the side, both of them have their backs to Xun Ding.

Xun Ding looked ugly.

 Gong Xiqiu just beat himself up in private to vent his anger, so why did he find thugs? Or is it that Gong Xiqiu thinks of a gentleman as a villain, thinking that he is afraid of being beaten, so he gathers helpers?

“I haven’t seen you for a few years, but my cultivation has improved rapidly.”

Not long after Gong Xiqiu arrived, he noticed Xun Ding’s aura.

The man standing also turned his head, revealing a somewhat familiar face. Xun Ding looked at the two similar faces, and the muscles in his body were already starting to hurt even before they were beaten. Looking at the unfathomable Gong Xiqiu, Xun Ding felt even more bitter. When he stretched out his head, it was also a knife when he retracted his head. He took a deep breath and said in one breath: “People in the Ming Dynasty don’t tell secrets. Please take action, brother!”

 Gong Xiqiu: “…”

Xun Ding has not developed much brains in the past few years. Before he clearly said that he wanted to beat Xun Ding, this kid rushed to find him.

 “Xun Yong’an, you—”

He raised his hand and grabbed it, and a halberd emerged out of thin air.

The body of the halberd glowed with a faint green light in the moonlight.

“remarkably brave!”

Gong Xiqiu took a step forward.

 Looking like he is strolling in the courtyard, in fact, he is like a ghost approaching Xun Ding in an instant. The unremarkable aura soared to the sky, and he was fully armored. When the armor appeared, the air stagnated. This hand operation was not gorgeous, but it still made Xun Ding’s pupils tremble. Outsiders might not feel it at all, but at this moment when he was facing Gong Xiqiu, he could clearly feel the sudden enlargement in his eyes. Even the space he was in was squeezed by some irresistible force coming from all directions, and his bones were forced to make a heart-wrenching noise. Creaking noise.

Gong Xiqiu’s voice was thick, majestic and vague.

 He said: “Shao Bai, I don’t want to make too much noise.”

 If things get too big, Mama will not be able to step down.

The young man who looked exactly like Gong Xiqiu made the secret with one hand.

 “Block, open the formation!”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　–

 The breeze is blowing!

The transparent barrier with water ripples on all sides rises into the sky, forming a closed square space at the highest point. Xun Ding instantly broke away from the pressure of Gong Xiqiu’s momentum and retreated to distance himself. The toes landed on the ground, the armor was wrapped around the body, the spear pointed at the ground to stop the figure, and suddenly like a cannonball, it hit the front door of Gongxi Qiu.

Today’s situation is special. If you can’t defeat us, we must fight head-on!

 As a sister-in-law, you must not let your second brother-in-law look down upon you!

only-

He didn’t expect that Gong Xiqiu would be merciless in his attack. He actually greeted him directly in the face with his long halberd aimed at his vital points. If you beat the flowers, doesn’t this make Alai lose face?”

Gong Xiqiu said: “I can’t spend it!”

Xun Ding soon understood what “cannot spend” meant.

There is something weird about this area around us! He clearly felt that his bones were cracking, but he was unscathed a moment later. Only the pain that remained on his body reminded him that it was not an illusion. Perhaps because of this, Gong Xiqiu had no intention of showing any mercy.

This place is remote, but not very far from the city wall of the royal capital.

　　The soldiers guarding the city could vaguely see lights flickering near the dark horizon, but there was nothing unusual about the atmosphere of heaven and earth nearby.

“Who is setting off the fireworks over there?” the soldier muttered in his heart, and was about to go up to the peak to have a look, but the “fireworks” over there disappeared again. Quiet, nothing unusual.

Gong Xiqiu knelt down and patted Xun Ding on the face.

He raised his eyebrows and said, “That’s it?”

Xun Ding sat up angrily: “What do you mean?”

Gong Xiqiu said: “I haven’t used my full strength yet.”

“You are preparing with all your strength to kill me and make Alai a widow? Do you understand that it is going to rain and my sister is getting married, can you stop me?”

Gong Xiqiu rolled his eyes: “That’s why I didn’t kill you.”

Gong Xilai and Xun Ding’s marriage cannot be changed. Since the two are destined to be relatives, it is not a life-and-death feud. Naturally, there is no need to take serious measures to make the situation impossible to end – Gong Xilai let Xun Ding eat some flesh and blood. It was bitter, Xun Ding let him vent his anger.

When Xun Ding heard this, he laughed so hard that he couldn’t even see his eyes.

 “Brother, please entrust Alai to me.”

Gong Xiqiu looked at him sideways and said nothing.

The young man who looked similar to Gong Xiqiu didn’t speak either.

Being stared at by the two men, Xun Ding’s psychological pressure exploded and he bit the bullet: “Brother, you can leave me to your sister.”

Gong Xiqiu then spoke slowly: “You are the only son in your family. Both father and son hold high positions in the court. It is unrealistic to force you to marry into the family. I have no such plan. It depends on Alai’s decision, but – I want to Alai will marry into your family and serve your son-in-law like the common people do, even if he washes his hands and makes soup, it will not work even if Alai agrees! You have to handle it well, Xun Yongan, remember one thing, before the Gongxi clan is completely extinct, I They are all her backers in the secular world, and they can kill you at any time.”

Xun Ding opened his mouth in shock.

Gong Xiqiu said impatiently: “What’s your expression?”

Xun Ding thumped the ground: “My father has already acquiesced in my marriage, and now you tell me that I don’t need to marry into my wife. Gong Xiqiu, you are kidding me!”

Gong Xiqiu: “…Xun Hanzhang is good at measuring things.”

Xun Ding stood up with support on his waist. Although there was no physical injury, Gong Xiqiu did not know what skill he used and the blow was very painful: “Who is my father? He hopes that he will work hard to leave his name in history. I never expected my master to have a glorious ancestor! I told him that day that Alai was pregnant, and he said to me, “There are so many people with the surname Xun in the world.” He really cared about this surname and expected me to have a baby with Alai. It is better to learn from Qi Zhongshu, you are still young and your grandchildren are already over 100…”

 In an era when paternal lineage was unclear, surnames were more important than blood to a certain extent. As long as they followed their surname, they were their children and grandchildren, and adoptive heirs were equivalent to biological children. Xun Zhen wanted to have several grandchildren with her own surname so that adoption would be quicker.

 He has no objection to his son’s adoption in order to get married.

Who was not a lover when they were young?

 Young people can make their own decisions.

 Gong Xiqiu: “…”

 He was almost defeated by the Xuns and his sons.

When Jimo Qiu put away the barrier and came over, Gong Xiqiu then remembered the business: “Xun Yong’an, if you are willing to marry Alai, then you certainly don’t mind helping her survive the birth disaster, right?”

Three question marks appeared on Xun Ding’s forehead. After he finished digesting Gong Xiqiu’s words, his handsome face was distorted as if he had eaten a mushroom: “No, don’t tell me that your clan still allows men to get pregnant and give birth. A thriller?”

Gong Xiqiu didn’t know what Xun Ding was thinking, so he started daydreaming before dawn, whimsically saying: “That’s not true. Reproduction is a means of creation, how can it change hands at will? This move also violates the yin and yang of men and women, don’t you think so? Not qualified. But – there are some secret skills in the clan that allow you to temporarily suffer for Alai. You are a brave warrior, and you won’t make a sound even if you have your body disemboweled, don’t you think?”

Xun Ding confirmed again and again: “That’s it? Seriously?”

Gong Xiqiu nodded: “That’s it, seriously!”

Xun Ding couldn’t help but touch his face.

 The level of Gong Xiqiu is too easy to pass.

Just being caught and beaten by him, and then agreeing to bear the pain for Alai on the day of delivery, is this enough? Is he dreaming?

Gong Xiqiu: There was no way before, but now there is a high priest…
