Chapter 356 Incident in Shashi Town

…

I don't know if it was the reunion of old friends that made Xiu'er remember the past again, or maybe Xu Jinjiang's words moved her.

Although Xu Jinjiang is already in his early twenties, Xiu'er still treats him like a child. Little does she know that she has forgotten that she was only this age when she fled with her nephew all the way back to Zhangdou Town from Ganzhou City.

Xiu'er, who was finally convinced by the two, went to the town's upper-level people to lobby. Perhaps it was the world that made them feel that Zhangdou Town really needed an armed force of their own. In addition, Wang Dali, a former soldier, served as an instructor of the security team.

, so the Zhangdou Town Security Team was naturally established, and Xu Jinjiang also became the captain of the Security Team because of Xiu'er's relationship with Wang Dali.

Xu Jinjiang was influenced by his father since he was a child and was familiar with military matters. Under Wang Dali's careful guidance, he quickly led the security team in a good manner.

Having Zhang Douzhen from the security team is like exchanging a shotgun for a cannon. The soft persimmon that anyone who passed by could pinch twice suddenly became tougher. After repelling several waves of horse bandits who came to attack Qiu Feng, he established his prestige.

But after Xu Jinjiang firmly established himself in the security team and Zhangdou Town, Xiuer came over with Wang Dali.

"What? Auntie, are you going to Ganzhou? No, it's too dangerous!"

Xiuer told Xu Jinjiang that since he had decided to take this path, she could not help him now, so she was going to Shashi Town to prepare for their future attack on Ganzhou, but Xu Jinjiang misunderstood and thought that her aunt was going

Ganzhou suddenly stood up from his chair in shock.

"It's not Ganzhou, it's Shashi Town, which is not far from Ganzhou. We can always pay attention to Ganzhou's movements there."

"That's not okay, aunt. I can just do it to avenge my parents. You have not married for so many years because of me. Now that I have grown up, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself."

Even if Xiuer explained to him that she was not going to Ganzhou but to Shashi Town, Xu Jinjiang refused righteously. Although Shashi Town was outside Ganzhou City, in the end it still belonged to the enemy's jurisdiction, even though it had passed

After so many years, Xiu'er is no longer the girl she was back then, but if an acquaintance from back then recognized her, the consequences would be disastrous.

And because of him, Aunt Xiu'er has remained unmarried all these years. When she was young, many people from the neighborhood came to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by Aunt Xiu'er. Now she is in her early thirties. In this era,

If a thirty-year-old woman is not married yet, she can really be regarded as an old leftover that no one wants.

In this era where it is common for women to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, it is difficult for Xiu'er to find a suitable family if she wants to remarry when she is thirty. Those who are more suitable for her age have basically already started a family, and to exaggerate, they may even be a grandfather.

So Xu Jinjiang couldn't let his aunt keep delaying him like this.

"Well, Xu Jinjiang, how can you show off to me just a few days after becoming the security captain? Your parents are still my sister and brother-in-law. If you live an ordinary life, that's all. Since you want to avenge them,

Then I can't just sit back and watch, and besides, your aunt and I can't be delayed by my own affairs."

When Xiu'er heard this, her willow eyebrows stood up and she began to scold Xu Jinjiang. The dignity accumulated over the years made Xu Jinjiang difficult to distinguish. However, Xiu'er knew her nephew's good intentions, so she wasn't really angry.

If you don't suppress his momentum, it will be difficult to tell what happens next.

Sure enough, Xu Jinjiang couldn't handle being treated like this by Xiu'er, but then Xiu'er's words made him forget to defend himself.

"Your Uncle Wang and I have already agreed that we will spend time together in Shashi Town from now on. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would think too much, but now there is nothing to hide."

“…”

When Xu Jinjiang heard Aunt Xiu'er's words, his eyes kept switching between the two. He saw Wang Dali's eyes dodge when he looked at him, and his heart suddenly felt like thousands of horses galloping past.

Being under the same roof, he didn't notice anything was wrong between the two of them. It felt like he was the only one in the dark.

Xu Jinjiang, who was stunned by this news, had already forgotten that Aunt Xiu'er was going to Shashi Town. Upon seeing this, Xiu'er couldn't help but show Wang Dali a proud smile.

Xu Jinjiang's reaction was completely expected by Xiu'er. She also deliberately dropped this bombshell at the last moment. Xu Jinjiang was stunned by the bomb and had no chance to persuade her to stay.

Before Xiu'er and Wang Dali left, they specifically told him not to go to them easily unless the power in his hands was enough to shake Ganzhou City. If anything happened, they would write back.

Xiu'er arranged this because she was afraid that someone would recognize them and catch them all, especially Xu Jinjiang's appearance and Adjutant Xu's appearance were almost as if they were carved from the same mold. At that time, Adjutant Xu was a close confidant of the commander-in-chief, and many people in the army were

They knew him, so the probability of Xu Jinjiang being recognized was far greater than theirs.

After his aunt and "uncle" left, Xu Jinjiang calmed down and concentrated on developing the security team. After his aunt and "uncle" left, they often kept in touch with him through letters at first, which completely calmed down his hanging heart.

But later on, the number of correspondences became less and less, often only one letter a month, just to let him know that he was safe, so he vaguely sensed that his aunt and others were hiding something from him.

However, when he wrote to inquire, he received a reply that everything was fine, but how could Xu Jinjiang believe this? In the end, he was able to know the truth only after he threatened to go to Shashi Town in person.

It turned out that after Xiu'er and Wang Dali arrived at Shashi Town, they found that the defense in Ganzhou City was tighter than before, and they seemed to be searching for someone. Later, Wang Dali didn't know where he learned that Adjutant Xu and some of his old troops had managed to escape by chance.

, has been conducting assassinations and guerrilla warfare against the new marshal over the years, which has led to the severe situation in Ganzhou City today.

And Wang Dali even discovered the code words of their team's previous march in Shashi Town. Following the clues, he finally found his former colleagues.

Then I learned from my colleagues that the people who were targeting the new commander now were not only their old subordinates, Adjutant Xu, but also the family members and subordinates of some other liquidated officers who were able to escape.

In the years when he went to Zhangdou Town, these people combined to cause a lot of trouble to Ganzhou City. However, there were too few people who survived, and the impact was limited. Therefore, the commander realized that it was

So many people escaped, so a strict investigation was ordered.

When Wang Dali became Adjutant Xu's personal soldier, he had some prestige among these former colleagues, and he also learned that Adjutant Xu's son was already preparing to lead troops to attack Ganzhou, so he gave them a shot.
