Chapter 3: Father-in-law and adults in troubled times

"Ye Canjun, Shaohou didn't come to the tent today?" Zhuo Bailing said with a frown and a dark face.

After an in-depth discussion with Meng Yan, the two exchanged opinions and reached a consensus goal. Meng Yan reflected on his act of arson and promised not to use such vicious tactics in the future unless absolutely necessary. After all, soldiers are among all people.

At the same time, he expressed his deep apology for Zhuo Bailing's encounter with Zhong Roulan and Ye Bohuai, and vowed to deal with them.

After Meng Yan stabilized Xianghu County, in order not to cause unnecessary panic, he asked Wang Zongqing, who had fought hard with the Xianghu soldiers, to stay in Xianghu to stabilize the situation. At least it would not cause a backlash, and he withdrew with the Xuanwu Army without reservation.

Shaonan repaired it and asked Xiao Huli of Wuyang City for an order to punish him for arson.

Xiao Huli was also unambiguous. He first reprimanded him for his reckless behavior, and then affirmed his achievements. At the same time, he expressed his welcome to Zhuo Bailing, and gave Zhuo Bailing the title of Luling Earl without hesitation, and asked him to

He served as the commander of the Xuanwu Army and the governor of Shaonan County, euphemistically known as supervising Meng Yan to prevent him from doing anything impulsive and excessive again.

"I can't come. I guess there's either a fire at home or a frying pan at the old man's place." Ye Bohuai was used to this kind of thing happening.

"It's really not advisable for a dignified man to be dragged down by family affairs. You are joining the army and you are his senior brother, so you can't persuade him properly. I have been in Shaonancheng for four months and this is the first time." Zhuo Bailing was angry.

said.

"Lao Zhuo, don't be so serious. This is neither Jiangyou nor Wuyang City. It's easier to stay in Shaonan City. Even the hawker selling fermented glutinous rice at the entrance of the military camp knows that the commander is afraid of his father-in-law." Ye Bohuai comforted.

"How can a commander not ask anything about the Xuanwu Army's expansion, recruitment and training? If not, I have to go find him." Zhuo Bailing did not intend to let Meng Yan go, so he walked out. Ye Bohuai wanted to stop him.

, I thought about it and let it go. Lao Zhuo still wasn’t used to it. It would be better to let him experience it.

At this moment, Meng Yan was nodding and bending down to pour tea for Cang Shuliang in the Taoli Hall. Cang Shuliang was enjoying it very much, stroking his beard and scolding softly, "You are a high-ranking commander, how can you let a woman like Haoyue be kicked out of the house? How can you still do it?"

You shamelessly asked me for help, don’t you understand Si Chen’s principles?”

"Father-in-law, please save my son-in-law no matter what." Meng Yan's posture was like that of a frustrated little daughter-in-law.

"That's all, I will go back with you. This girl Haoyue is spoiled by me. It's really not shameful, but you are the same. You can drink with Mr. Zhanchuan and go to Ruyi Tower or a place like that.

"What does it mean to smash someone else's building?" Cang Shuliang also couldn't understand his and Xiao Yu's actions of smashing up the place.

"What an injustice! Father-in-law, yesterday Duke Zhanchuan came over to inspect the military affairs of the Xuanwu Army. We were drinking in the mansion. It was too late and we were afraid of disturbing my wife, so we went out to drink. The only one in Ruyilou in the middle of the night was

It was still open, and I thought I would go home after drinking, but who would have thought that my wife would lead someone to smash up the Ruyi Building." Meng Yan looked aggrieved.

"You shouldn't have brought her back from Wuyang City!" Cang Shuliang said domineeringly. After that, she stood up and let Meng Yan help her out.

As soon as Cang Shuliang and Meng Yan returned to the gate of Shaohou Villa, they were blocked by Zhuo Bailing. Zhuo Bailing, who was about to have an attack, saw Cang Shuliang was also there and immediately restrained himself. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

During these days in Shaonan City, I went to Taoli Hall to listen to the old man's lectures. The old man's teachings were very lively. The obscure and difficult principles in ancient books became interesting in his mouth, and every word was exquisite. In retrospect, it was full of charm and rare.

But he has always taught without distinction. No matter what your status is, you are treated equally in his eyes. Zhuo Bailing bows to him as a disciple.

"Boping is here too, but what military affairs do we need to discuss?" Cang Shuliang asked with a kind face.

"Mr. Lao asked, the student came to invite Shaohou to the camp to discuss secular matters, but he didn't know that Shaohou was with the teacher and the student would come back later." Zhuo Bailing knew that there was no chance of today again, so he might as well listen to Ye Bohuai.

Just decide for yourself.

"No, I'm here. Come and sit in the house. You are Shaonan's parent, and I happen to have a lawsuit to fight here." Cang Shuliang grabbed Zhuo Bailing's arm and pulled him directly into the house.

Zhuo Bailing quickly winked at Meng Yan for help, but Meng Yan ignored him at all and looked around as if he was looking for something. At this time, Zhuo Bailing realized what Cang Shuliang was talking about. Last night, Ruyilou reported that the shop was stolen.

The people from Shaohou Mansion smashed it.

Before you reach the main hall, you can hear the sound of weapons ringing in the back house, accompanied by a familiar voice, "Second sister-in-law, you should arrest them both on the spot. What's the point of smashing the building?"

It would be fun to drag them both through the streets."

As soon as this voice came out, Zhuo Bailing knew that he couldn't handle his affairs today and had to show off. Zhong Roulan was also there. Zhuo Bailing immediately had a headache thinking about her. If Cang Shuliang hadn't held her tightly, he would have wanted to leave immediately.

"Haoyue, come out, Aye is here." Cang Shuliang shouted angrily. Although she is her own daughter, it is an inner house after all, and it is not easy for Cang Shuliang to enter.

Not long after there were a lot of chaotic noises, three women came out of the inner house. Cang Shu Haoyue and Zhong Roulan were naturally acquainted with each other, but there was another cold and elegant lady whom they had never seen before. Zhuo Bailing was a little curious.

The three of them bowed to Cang Shuliang one by one, only to hear Cang Shuliang say: "Ying'er was also fooling around with Haoyue yesterday?"

"Sir, I don't know what happened yesterday. I just heard it from Sister Haoyue." The woman was very polite and respectful.

Zhuo Bailing took a breath of cold air. This woman was Xiao Yu's wife and the only daughter of Xia Houming in the Military Machinery Pavilion. Zhuo Bailing had heard about this strange woman frequently after coming to the southern border. She was highly skilled in martial arts and could rush into battle with ease.

In a deserted place, as a subordinate, I quickly went to greet them and said, "I pay my respects to the two ladies."

"I'm here to meet you two ladies, but you can't see me? Lao Zhuo, do you still hold grudges?" Zhong Roulan asked aggressively.

He knew that meeting her would be bad, so Zhuo Bailing reluctantly raised his hand as a salute, "Oh, it turns out that the third girl is here, please forgive me for not seeing her for a moment!"

After hearing this, Zhong Roulan started to gather her strength and prepared to quarrel, but Cang Shuliang raised her hand to stop her. The old man stared at Cang Shu Haoyue and said: "The noble Madam Hou actually did such a scandal, and she was reported to the government office.

, do you know you are wrong?!"

"Father, he was the one who went to Ruyi Tower first!" Cang Shu Haoyue said forcefully.

"Madam, I just went to drink with my brother and did nothing." Meng Yan defended in a low voice.

"I went to Ruyi Tower and did nothing. Do you think I'm a piece of clay?!" The tigress's rage was so powerful that it frightened old Mr. Cang Shu who had just sat down so much that his hands shook.

"Ahem, Yue'er, don't be so rude. Men don't have to do anything when they go to Ruyilou to drink. It's an elegant pleasure." Cang Shuliang Yuanchang said.

"What did Aye say? Yaqu?" Cang Shu Haoyue suddenly regained her composure and asked calmly, but her eyes looked so scary.

"Uh, what Aye means..." Cang Shuliang suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake and had touched his daughter's bottom line, "Oh! I forgot, I still have schoolwork and students today.

Wait for me in the school." After saying that, he stood up and walked away with a vigorous pace. There was no trace of him being an old man who was nearly seventy years old.

There were all martial arts practitioners in the hall, and they couldn't help but admire him. This old guy must have practiced the "eight steps to catch cicadas" technique.

At this time, they heard the sound of two people colliding outside. Everyone reacted and ran out in a hurry. Meng Yan rushed out first. He wanted to take the opportunity to escape. As soon as he went out, he saw an angry Xia Houming supporting him and colliding with him.

Meng Yan was full of Cang Shu. Knowing that something had happened, he turned around and left. Xia Houming, who was behind him, immediately stopped him and said, "Shaohou, stay here. I'm here to pass on the royal decree!"

It was not easy to pretend not to hear, so he had no choice but to turn around and saw Xia Houming glaring at him angrily, "Shaohou, I heard that you took my son-in-law to a brothel yesterday?"

"Ah?! Mr. Xiahou heard me tell you that this is really a misunderstanding. Mr. Zhanchuan and I just went to have a drink." Meng Yan's heart suddenly went cold. This bastard Xiao Yu actually betrayed him. He is really dead.

Friends will never die but poverty will lead to poverty.

"Oh? If we were drinking, why did your wife lead her people to smash up the brothel?" Xia Houming glanced at Zhuo Bailing, who was feeling uncomfortable, "The governor of Zhuo County is here, isn't he handling this scandal?"

Zhuo Bailing was in trouble and couldn't tell. He was a newly-reigned general, and he didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs. But since the superior officer had already pointed him out, there was no reason not to answer. He held up his hands and said: "Master Xiahou

"Rong, I'm here to consult Shaohou on military matters. I haven't received a notification about what happened yesterday, so I don't know much about it."

"I see, I am meddling in my own business." Xia Houming has always been prejudiced against the noble family. Although Zhuo Bailing has surrendered now, he cannot erase the shadow of the noble family.

"Brother Xiahou, aren't you here to convey Jun's order? Don't delay the business." Cang Shuliang is indeed a veteran who has been immersed in officialdom for many years. He quickly grasped the key point and immediately changed the subject.

Meng Yan looked at Cang Shuliang gratefully, but Cang Shuliang rubbed her waist with a painful look on her face, which made Cang Shu Haoyue have to worry about her father's health first.

At this time, Xia Houying walked up to Xia Houming and whispered a few words. Xia Houming's expression softened slightly, and he cleared his throat and read out: "Zhenbeifu Jun Ling, Ling Shaohou, and Zhanchuan County Duke divided their troops into two groups.

Shao Xuanwu Army marched out of Shaonan Pass to attack the enemy in Yulin City. The Duke of Zhanchuan County led a section of the Qinglong Army and a section of the White Tiger Army to defend Lingling on Yinqing Road. They marched out within three days and killed the offenders."

Everyone in the hall had different expressions. The chaos just now suddenly became peaceful. Meng Yan immediately entered the role and asked: "Gu family took the initiative to violate the situation?"

"The Gu family contacted the Ling Dynasty and invaded the country in two ways. On the Lincheng route, Gu Qufeng personally led 50,000 people to Shaonanguan, which could be reached in less than three days; on the other route, the Shaoling governor of the Ling Dynasty commanded Ma

He led 50,000 troops out of Lingling to attack Yinqing Road. It was reported that they would arrive in less than five days. The strength of the troops can be imagined, so the prince sent me to assist you two." Xia Houming was not ambiguous when it came to business matters.

"Fuck your uncle, the Xingtan Gu family is finally here!" Zhong Roulan blurted out the dirty words, which shocked everyone.
