Chapter 20 Going Home

If it were those real aristocratic families, I think this kind of scene would rarely happen. Because among the Confucian aristocratic families, the etiquette and law norms of the monarch, minister, father, son, and son are used to maintain the family. Everyone's behavior is restricted, at least on the surface. The difference between local tyrants and aristocratic families is here. The tyrants rely on the tyrants they raise, the tyrants and swordsmen. The methods they use to solve problems are usually illegal violent means. And the Haowu family like the Lei family in Lujiang are only a slight difference from the bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings, so they have no scruples to act. Even when dealing with internal conflicts within the family, some people will use various tough means nakedly.
For a long time in the past, Lei Yuan consciously avoided contradictions and did not want himself to become the target of some tough method. The so-called "son of a thousand gold medal cannot sit in the hall". At this moment, Deng Tong's fierce expression only made Lei Yuan feel sad and ridiculous. Such people relied on some courage to stand in the world, but because they were in a closed environment for a long time, they had no channels to obtain information, and they had no knowledge. But he himself did not know himself and did not know that everything he did was meaningless. It was easy for Lei Yuan to deal with it.
Lei Yuan looked at Deng Tong and said slowly: "My brother has a heroic and upright personality and will never instruct you to act like this. Deng Qu, why should you take your own initiative and interfere in the family affairs of the Lei family in Lujiang?"
Deng Tong sneered a few times: "Little Langjun, don't want to deceive me. I just said that the sect leader is busy with military affairs, but there is no other meaning."
Lei Yuan took a step back and looked at Deng Tong again. He turned around and said to his subordinates: "Let's go."
Deng Tong didn't expect Lei Yuan to be so straightforward, but was stunned for a moment.
Guo Jing glared at Deng Tong and gritted his teeth and said, "Little Langjun, we..."
Lei Yuan patted his shoulder: "Don't care, go."
The group turned around immediately and never stopped.
This time, Deng Tong became panicked.
Xiao Langjun, don’t leave! He shouted in his heart, I just made a few harsh words, why are you really leaving? And your subordinates, why are you so banned? At least, I will argue with me, so I will naturally let Xiao Langjun go to see the sect leader... What if you leave like this, what if the sect leader blames him? When is the time? When the Cao army is approaching and the powerful Huainan is in danger, everyone should put the overall situation first and don’t be angry casually!
Thinking of this, Deng Tong felt embarrassed. He wanted to call Lei Yuan several times, but he couldn't speak. The fat man stood by the door in a daze, and for a moment he felt something was wrong. He turned around to look at the subordinates behind him, and these guys were also panicked. He hesitated and took a few steps out of the door, and saw that the few officials from the nearest looked at him with a look of something wrong.
Lei Yuan left as soon as he said, and he really didn't bother to pay attention to this stupid man. What Deng Tong valued was just the head of a rich country house. Lei Yuan didn't care and didn't want to argue with his brother about it. And what Lei Yuan wanted was probably not within Deng Tong's vision. Therefore, although Guo Jing and other entourages were indignant, he was calm and thought that he could go back to his own courtyard to rest, and his steps were even lighter.
The fort is very large in scale, with houses stacked to accommodate thousands of people. The front yard on the south side is in a regular shape, while the part on the north side has been built one after another for decades as needed. The roads are narrow and the yards are scattered and disorderly. The place where Lei Yuan lives is located.
The courtyard is not big, with two in front and back. The shape of the door and wall of the house is extensive, but they are all very solid, just like other buildings in the mansion. The front yard is relatively wide, with long houses on both sides of the east and west. It is the place where Guo Jing and others usually live. The ground of the courtyard is very solid, and they also use weapons and racks to surround a square area for martial arts. At this time, Wang Yan came out of the long house in the east and saw Lei Yuan and others returning. He was happy first, but when he found that there were many wounds on everyone's body, he was shocked. He quickly asked the maid to come and search for a doctor, and he carried a wooden barrel to fetch water to the well to prepare for washing the wound.
Lei Yuan went to the backyard. The main house in the backyard was originally lived by Lei Yuan's mother. After his mother died, Lei Yuan did not use the room and left it empty. He himself lived in the main hall on the east side; in addition to piled up some things, the house on the west side was also for two servants, both men and women.
The male servant was an old man with half-deaf ears and lame legs. The maid was the one who went out to find a doctor. The two were originally one of the many servants who followed Lei Yuan's mother. Later, the servants dispersed one after another, and only they stayed. Lei Yuan did not need to serve him normally, as long as they did some chores of sweeping the courtyard.
Those who dispersed did not intentionally blame the master. When Lei Yuan's mother passed away, Lei Yuan was still young. Although Lei Xu placed him in a different courtyard, he was a major family in Lujiang County, and the basic expenses were absolutely indispensable. There were additional supplements and rewards during the New Year Festival, and there were no harsh treatments. However, after Lei Yuan became an adult, he traveled in surrounding counties for many years and recruited direct troops one after another, and various expenses were not small. So he obtained the consent of the slaves and sold them all, and the money he obtained was used to maintain his ranks of more than 20 people.
Therefore, this house was not only the home that Lei Yuan was warm when he was a child, but also a small position where he intended to cheer up when he was a teenager. When he returned here, Lei Yuan felt truly relaxed. Even if the bitter wind was approaching outside, at least at this time, he was at ease and relaxed.
The old servant couldn't hear well and could not hear the sound of the front yard at all. It was not until Lei Yuan stepped into the back yard that he realized that he immediately ran out of the side room, and his wrinkled face was smiling at Lei Yuan.
Wang Yan followed into the backyard with a wooden barrel and shouted: "Old man, why are you swaying in front of you? Didn't you see the little husband being injured? Go and get the medicine and clean cloth!"
The old servant limped around and went to the side room to get it.
Wang Yan is a veteran of the battlefield. After a brief look, he knew that Lei Yuan had injuries on his shoulders and legs, and it was not well handled. So he quickly reached out to support Lei Yuan and said, "What happened to Xiao Langjun? He was so embarrassed? When he was in such a mess, even if he had a follower around him, he should not fight easily. After all, the swords and weapons are eye-catching, and the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. Who can tell it clearly? It is better to be careful and be more serious... This situation falls in the eyes of the sect leader, and we must scold us for not being able to protect us. Alas, in fact, there have been famous doctors around the sect leader recently. If they were asked to deal with the wounds, it would be more appropriate..."
Wang Yan is a determined warrior and a middle-aged man who is prone to nagging. Perhaps because he saw Lei Yuan being injured, he was anxious and kept talking as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lei Yuan had become accustomed to Wang Yan's words, so he was not busy responding and sat down on the couch first. It was not until he heard about the sect leader and the famous doctors around the sect leader interrupting Wang Yan's words: "I have not reported to my father yet, I came back directly."
"What?" Wang Yan was surprised. He turned around and saw that the old servant had not come yet. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "Little Langjun, you are ordered to go out this time. If you don't reply in time, you will be detrimental." He took a little step forward and approached Lei Yuan, and said seriously: "It's better to ask the sect leader to report now. It's not enough to leave, and it seems that the road is difficult."
This is Wang Yan's sophistication, but Lei Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Lei Yuan slowly lay down on the couch, looking at the beams on the roof. The sound of moving something came from the outdoors. I am afraid that the old servant was confused and didn't know where to hide the wounded medicine. He was searching for boxes and cabinets. He was too lazy to mention the obstruction of Deng Tong, but just asked slowly: "Uncle Yan, Cao's army has a large number of reinforcements from the West. Have you informed my father?"
"Yes, it was reported three days ago. The sect leader immediately sent a number of more probes to investigate. In addition, he also sent people to inform the young general who confronted Cao's army in front, and asked him to retreat as soon as possible and not delay any more." Wang Yan thought for a while and said, "In the past few days, the evacuation of the people at the subordinates has also been carried out. Two batches have been left. I heard that all the leaders will enter the mountain in the third batch, and then the final troops led by the young general will be cut off."
Lei Yuan nodded. All he could do was just these. Since he had done it, that would be great. Suddenly, a strong sense of fatigue surged up, like a violent wave hitting his mind. He forced himself to say, "After you go back, I approached the situation of Cao's army, and even approached the cap of the commander of Cao's army, and shot a few arrows."
"What? This... this is really a bold move..." Wang Yan was shocked, shook his head and was about to say a few words, and remembered that he was a subordinate. After all, he shouldn't blame Lei Yuan, so he turned to ask: "But I don't know what Cao Jun?"
"Cao's army has a force of about 50,000, and its troops are like clouds. The army is a well-trained military commander, and the military is invincible. The general who commands the army is gorgeous, and it is very likely that it is Cao Gong himself." Wang Yan was obviously gasping for air conditioning in his ears. Lei Yuan said again: "Cao Gong is coming here like a huge rock pressing eggs. He will definitely show off his power along the way and promote great things. What is the situation? Our scout should be rewarded soon. Therefore, I don't have to report anything to my father in detail."
"Little Langjun..." Wang Yan wanted to say something.
Lei Yuan ignored him and continued, "The news of my return will be reported. If my father wants to see me, he will send someone to summon him. You don't have to worry."
