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

This private army was not large in scale. He had started to form it under Tang Guo's tent when he was young. Most of the soldiers were orphans he had adopted or young and desperate rangers. At that time, he had no idea of ​​self-respect as a soldier. He simply

He wanted to find a way to eat Tang Guo's free salary - as Tang Guo's nominally adopted son, and the soldiers raised by his adopted son, shouldn't he also provide money to support them?

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

It's just that Gong Xiqiu was arrogant at heart and relied on his superior force. He didn't take ordinary enemies into consideration and led his troops to kill them head-on. Therefore, he didn't value this private soldier very much. In the following years, he led his private soldiers everywhere to fight for others.

, the scale also expanded from a few hundred to more than a thousand. When he left to find his brother and nephew, he was too lazy to lead this army, so he left it to Gong Xi.

With this elite team at his side, and Mama taking care of them, no accident will happen, Gong Xi Lai's life will be very nourishing. This is one of the reasons why he feels so at ease as the hands-off shopkeeper - Gong Xi Lai is an adult who can make the decisions

, no need for him to take care of you all the time.

"Gongxi Langjun is looking for General Xun?"

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

If we look closely, Xun Ding can also be considered a member of the old department.

"Xun Yong'an? Humph, I'll look for his bad luck again tomorrow. Now I have to go find my old subordinates 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 military general was probably unfamiliar here, so he mentioned a few old troops that he had an impression of and tried his luck.

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

Yang Ying, Yang Shengmei.

"By coincidence, Shengmei just came back to report on her work a while ago."

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

Yang Ying lives with her father, Mr. Yang.

When Gong Xiqiu came, Yang Yingzheng personally sent a young man dressed as a doctor out: "...My father's health suffered a serious deficit in the early years. Is there any chance to make up for it now?"

Doctor: "The fundamental damage has been done, so we can only nurse it back to health slowly."

There was a hint of sadness between Yang Ying's brows, 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 break out at a certain point without the suppression and conditioning of sufficient martial energy, and the body will age faster than ordinary people. Although my father has seemed healthy and healthy in the past few years, he still gets sick every time the season changes.

One game.

The recovery speed is also slower every time.

Yang Ying regularly used Qi to nourish his meridians, but he could not hold them back and the meridians were 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."

After all, Danfu is not one of the human organs.

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

The doctor's words just gave her hope.

Yang Ying silently wrote down: "Okay, thank you."

After sending 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 several 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 and let them return to their good families, and also found a way out, and some experienced people went to various places to fight.

The government brought in new recruits, and those with better qualifications chose to work in the army, and their lives were pretty good.

Speaking of this, Yang Ying paused.

"These are all Alai's ideas."

Although Gong Xiqiu handed over these private soldiers to Gong Xi Lai, he was the real person responsible for these soldiers. When Gong Xi made this decision, he hesitated for a long time and felt uneasy in his heart. Her choice was equivalent to

Gongxi Qiu's old department was disbanded.

Failure to do so will delay their future.

"Alai did a great 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 take care of 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 juncture, Yang Ying knew that Xun Yongan was going to have to be beaten. It was understandable that Gong Xiqiu didn't like Xun Ding. If he hadn't arrived in time, he would have treated Xun Ding as a bandit.

She has been restraining the people below from harming women and children, so she and Gongxi will inevitably endure hardships.

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

This pair of experiences can be compiled into a storybook and can be sung for a long time.

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 Yong'an before going to see her. She is pregnant now and should be asleep at this point. It is extremely dangerous for women to give birth, and she is not too young now...

I don’t know how much suffering I will have to endure..."

Yang Ying was secretly surprised.

She and Gong Xilai were close friends, and she had also heard the latter confide in her heart - Gong Xichou and Gong Xilai were brothers and sisters after all, and the opportunity for the two to become friends was because Gong Xichou was worried that he would not be able to get back after his revenge.

, and then entrusted the future of the clan to her, how much true feelings can there be in this situation? Gong Xi Lai is a bit timid and has low self-esteem, and he does not dare to be unscrupulous in his hatred towards Gong Xi.

Gong Xiqiu may have more responsibility for her.

Yang Ying comforted and said: "Don't think so much. There are many brothers and sisters in the world who share the same mother, and their feelings are 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 treats you with hatred."

, always different.]

Saying this, I also agree with Gong Xi Lai in my heart.

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

In his heart, he didn't care about Gong Xi Lai as much as on the surface.

Yang Ying: "Don't you blame her?"

Gong Xiqiu felt puzzled: "Why blame her?"

Naturally, I blame her for making decisions.

Yang Ying considered it carefully: "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 is also different.

Yong'an 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..."

Which family doesn’t prepare for their wedding a year and a half in advance?

Gong Xiqiu is still Gong Xilai's only relative. His whereabouts have been uncertain these years, and he has been scurrying all over the continent. It is not easy to send him a letter from home, and you have to set aside some time. Otherwise, her wedding will be over before the letter from home is 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 the wedding date was confirmed, she did not avoid it. Who knew that the baby would arrive so quickly that she was caught off guard.

"Alai and Xun Yong'an decided on their wedding date first, and she got pregnant later... Strictly speaking, it can't be too outrageous." Yang Ying made indirect remarks to find love for the newlyweds.

Gong Xiqiu blinked, his eyes a little confused.

He seemed to realize this just now.

Gong Xilai is different from him.

only--

"Alai must not have read the clan literature carefully."

Gongxi Qiu Lengbuding said such a sentence, which made Yang Ying confused: "What does this matter have to do with the clan documents?"

But Gong Xiqiu refused to say more.

Only one sentence was left: "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——
