Ge Congzhou first fought with Xu Cong for a hundred moves, and then fought with Zhu Wen for more than two hundred moves. Although Ge Congzhou was extremely brave, he was now a little tired. Zhu Wen was still as light as a swallow, and he was still erratic.

Go, as if with ease.

Ge Congzhou was anxious and waved a single sword like a wheel, approaching Zhu Wen step by step.

In this way, if Zhu Wen did not collide with Ge Congzhou's weapons, he would have no choice but to retreat step by step. Zhu Wen smiled faintly and shook his sword continuously. There was a "ding, ding, ding" sound, and the swords intersected for the first time, but he remembered the three of them.

The sound of gold and iron clashing.

It turned out that Zhu Wen actually used his long sword to hit three points on the weakest point of Ge Congzhou's single sword in a split second. These three hits Zhu Wen injected internal force into, and hit Ge Congzhou's strength again.

At the weakest point, Ge Congzhou was not known for his internal strength. The shock caused Ge Congzhou's right arm to feel slightly numb.

Seeing that his defeat was certain, Ge Congzhou took advantage of the fact that he was still defeated and slashed twice with his sword, forcing Zhu Wen to take two steps back. He jumped out of the battle circle and said: "General Zhu is proficient in swordsmanship. Ge Congzhou is defeated by Gan, but in Ge's home

I still have an elderly mother who needs to be taken care of, so I can’t attack the city with you. Please forgive me, General Zhu!”

Zhu Wen returned the sword to its sheath and said with a smile: "The two of us have fought for more than two hundred moves, and we still have no winner. Brother Ge, please excuse me!"

Zhu Zhen thought to herself: "How can we just let him go?" She quickly said: "Third brother, this..."

Zhu Wen waved his hand to prevent Zhu Zhen from talking any more and said: "Brother Ge, please do."

Ge Congzhou seemed to be unable to believe his ears and said warily: "Are you really willing to let me go?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "Is there still a lie?"

Ge Congzhou took a deep look at Zhu Wen and sighed: "Ge thanked you, and I will leave now!"

After Zhu Wen watched Ge Congzhou's back go away, he quickly rubbed his numb wrist and sighed: "This Ge Congzhou is really not simple. He almost knocked my long sword away with just his arm strength. It's amazing."

It’s really awesome.”

Zhu Zhen and Hu Zhen looked at each other, with the same thought in mind, and said in unison: "Then why did the third brother let him go like this? There will be endless troubles if the tiger returns to the mountain..."

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, sooner or later this Ge Congzhou will return to my tent. This person will not easily promise allegiance to someone, but once he makes a promise, he will definitely be determined and will not have any second thoughts."

"

Zhu Zhen felt a little disbelieving in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. She turned around and patted Xu Cong's shoulder and said with a smile: "You're a good boy. Why didn't you tell me that you have special skills? If you tell me, I'll give it to you, brother."

Arrange an official position, how can you allow such a powerful master to stay as an ordinary soldier in the third brother's private army?"

Xu Cong said: "I also want to be a general, but I don't want anyone to promote me because of my martial arts. I just want to rise step by step with my own efforts."

Zhu Wen secretly praised him for his ambition! He praised: "I just like a young man like you. Haha, you can say that you saved my life today. The credit is not small. I will be promoted to the chief first and manage a

Ten-man team, please stay with me from now on."

Xu Cong knelt on one knee and said: "Thank you, General Zhu!"

Zhu Wen quickly helped him up with both hands and said: "As long as we are in our army, we are all brothers, so we don't need so many etiquette. From now on, we will have a superior-subordinate relationship outside. When there are no outsiders, we will be brothers. You and Zhu

Jane and the others should call me third brother together."

Xu Cong panicked and said: "How can this happen? It's a bad thing."

Zhu Wen said solemnly: "We are brothers on the shoulders, so there is no distinction between high and low. Your name doesn't sound loud enough. I want to change your name. Are you willing?"

Xu Cong said: "I will obey the general's instructions."

Zhu Wen thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a more resounding name.

Zhu Zhen, who was standing next to him, smiled and said: "Brother Xu has a handsome face and a certain feminine quality. Moreover, he saved his life just now because he was carrying a jade pendant in his arms. I think it is better to call him Huaiyu."

Zhu Wen muttered silently in his heart "Xu Huaiyu, Xu Huaiyu..." Why does this name feel so familiar? Suddenly he remembered that Xu Huaiyu's name was in the biography of Liang Chen in "New History of the Five Dynasties". Historical records indicate that Xu Huaiyu followed Zhu Wen on the battlefield for thirty years.

Over the years, I have marched forward bravely in every battle and never backed down.

During the late Tang and Five Dynasties, Xu Huaiyu was the number one person in terms of the word "brave" alone.

Zhu Wen said: "What a good name. From now on, you can call me Xu Huaiyu."

Xu Cong, who changed his name to Xu Huaiyu, said: "Thank you General Zhu for the name."

"There is nothing that is not given to me. It's my brother. Where do you get so many courtesy? Come on, today I will cook in person to reward brother Xu!" Zhu Wen said cheerfully.

Zhu Zhen on the side cheered and said loudly: "I can finally eat the food cooked by my third brother again. I'm so excited!"

Even Hu Zhen unconsciously licked the saliva from Tian's lips and swallowed.

Xu Huaiyu pulled Zhu Zhen's sleeve and whispered: "Is General Zhu's cooking delicious?"

Zhu Zhen curled her lips and answered with disdain: "Of course it's delicious, otherwise why would I have to ask Third Brother to cook every day? If it's not delicious, shouldn't I be the one to blame?"

Xu Huaiyu made a look of realization and waited expectantly for the meal prepared by Zhu Wen.

…

First, Ge Congzhou returned home depressed, visited his mother, and reported what happened today, saying: "Mom, what should I do with the child? Should I live out my life like this in a mediocre way, or should I simply seek refuge in Huang Chao?"

Just to try to mix up my background."

Ge's mother said: "Although your Ge family has been ministers of the Tang Dynasty for generations, now the traitors are in power, the eunuchs are in power, each vassal town has its own soldiers, the court's discipline is corrupt, and the people are in dire straits, so that there is no place for heroes. Alas, good men are everywhere,

My son, please don’t think about your mother. I still have a hundred acres of land at home, which is enough for me, an old man like me, to live on, so you can go with peace of mind..."

Although Ge's mother has been a widow for many years, she was once the wife of the Minister of War. She also saw the world when she was young. How can she be like those foolish women who are mother-in-law and mother-in-law?

Ge Congzhou looked at his elderly mother and sighed in his heart, tears blurring his eyes. He secretly wiped the tears from his eyes, turned around suddenly, and hardened his heart: "If the child makes a little progress one day, he will definitely come back to greet my mother.

Please forgive the child for being unfilial. Mother, please take care of yourself. The child bids farewell."

After that, Ge Congzhou strode forward without looking back once. It wasn't that he didn't want to look back, but he didn't dare to look back. He didn't want his mother to see the tears on his face, and he couldn't bear to see the turbid tears in his mother's eyes...

When Ge Congzhou walked two streets, he still couldn't control his emotions. His lips trembled and trembled. Hot heroic tears ran down his cheeks and across the corners of his mouth. They tasted salty and astringent...
