Chapter 3 Taigong Xu Gan
Seeing Xu Le come in, the old man closed his eyes again.
The child guarding the medicine furnace stood up and greeted: "Mr. Le Lang!"
This child is Han Yue's younger brother, and Han's husband died early, and he raised his two children. Xu Le waved his hand and said, "Xiao Liu, go find your brother, I'm here."
Han Xiaoliu just cheered, and rushed out of the door in two steps. He then turned around and asked, "Will Mr. Le take me this time?"
Xu Le snorted: "How many years are you going to be!"
The boss Han Xiaoliu was unhappy: "I'm not as bad as my brother. I can drive eight-double bows immediately, and I can kill five stones at a time! Whether it's a knife, shield or a long soldier, Le Langjun, you can come and take the exam to compare my skills!"
The old lady closed her eyes and spoke coldly: "You are still far from here!"
Han Xiaoliu dared to play tricks with Xu Le, but the old lady spoke publicly, but she looked like a mouse and saw a cat. She didn't dare to say anything. She stretched out her tongue and turned around and went out.
The old lady still closed her eyes: "I shouldn't teach you how to do it. They just can't stay in the middle of the village. If the old man hadn't fallen out of a stroke, would you still not come back?"
Xu Gan's speech was already a little vague, and his missing pronunciation and missing words were the sequelae of the stroke. But his tone was still powerful. Especially when he opened his eyes, he was still powerful, and he was not like an ordinary old man in the village?
Starting last year, Mayi County launched a series of wars, either rescued Yanmen or joined forces with the Hedong army to resist the Turks' southward journey. Xu Gan worked hard to manage everything for him, Xu Jialu, who was established by him. After all, he was old and suddenly fell down after a stroke.
Thinking of the sudden appearance of his grandfather falling down at that time, Xu Le was still scared.
For Xu Le, grandpa is the giant tree behind him. He educated himself since childhood, from literature to martial arts, and was even more unwilling to let himself be involved in all dangerous things.
What do you want to help me? Grandpa always said that he was still young. After getting married, it would not be too late to take care of the family affairs after he closed his eyes.
Even if I was rebellious, I was hanging with the Hedong Heshou and finally got the title of Le Langjun. Isn’t it that I rely on the family fortune I earned to make friends with me? My skills taught by my grandfather convinced everyone?
Xu Le cannot be said to be a very obedient child. Perhaps it was passed down from the Xu family's bloodline. He was born with a sharp temperament. He had his own opinions since he was a teenager. He felt helpless about his grandfather's restraint in Shenwu County, a small world. He felt a little breathless about his grandfather's meticulous care.
But when my grandfather fell down, Xu Le realized that his grandfather had tried his best to support him in the past eighteen years.
The world outside is just a little bit of affair. It’s time to see that there is a time. Now the most important thing is to take care of your grandfather by yourself and support this family through these chaotic years!
At this time last year, Xu Le and a group of heroes were thinking about how to bypass grandpa’s control, find a place to join the army, and then make some achievements in this world. Wasn’t Liu Wuzhou also a country hero, who was sent to the army to the Goryeo Army. Finally, he came back to become the Yingjilang General of Yingyang Mansion in Heng'an, opened the palace and built a festival, and lived in eight living places?
But after my grandfather fell, for nearly half a year, Xu Le never had enough in Xu Jialu. He just helped to manage the family plan. The young man was domineering, and his fighting spirit was almost gone, and many friends also stopped interacting.
The old man scolded him, but Xu Le pretended not to hear it. He walked to the corridor to take out the medicine jar, poured it into a bowl, and put it aside to wait a little cooler. Then he smiled at Xu Gan and said, "I'm not honest for the past six months? I'm worried about this family."
Xu Gan snorted: "I know the family plan is difficult? I used to be so big, but the old man is supporting him!"
After making a furious sentence, Xu Gan lowered his voice again: "I can't survive anymore?"
Xu Le shook his head: "I can't get through anymore, my family is clean. Most of the people in the county have designated Luzhong for Luzhong. Our Xu family even has a household registration. I asked someone to hand over the prefect's order. Now the chief clerk said that no one can violate the prefect's order. Luzhong has exempted money from the commission this year, and it has ended the county's shops, but they have only recovered the twelve and three-three-something text. If they can't hand over, they have to serve. The chief clerk also passed on a sentence, saying that he had heard of my name and it was the right thing to join the army as soon as possible. He might as well get married under the prefect Wang."
Xu Gan was silent and suddenly said, "The Emperor of Daye went south, and they all had different thoughts. Wang Rengong wanted to get a piece of the pie in this chaos! None of these aristocratic families have good things!"
Xu Le spread his hands: "Now there is only one way back to Yi. Buy horses from the Dadan tribe in the north. After the store, all the money was exchanged for the salt from the grain reconciliation pond. Then, transport the horses to Shanyang for delivery."
Xu Gan said nothing. In the year of Chengping, the road back to Yi was a difficult task. When Xu Jialu was first established, the old man walked through this trade route. Although his profit was very high, his life and death were all tied to the front line several times. Not to mention that the Turkic army has been forced to go south to harass him repeatedly, breaking Yanmen, and fighting with the Mayi and Hedong soldiers!
Xu Le smiled and said, "Then will I go to join the Mayi Yingyang Army? Grandpa, you only have a few points to teach you, so I will win the title of Lelangjun. If you take a few points, you may even give me a little bit of it. I don't know if Wang Rengong's family has a daughter. If you recruit me as your son-in-law, you don't have to worry about my marriage."
Xu Gan glared: "You dare! I will raise you, not let you be a lackey under the aristocratic family!"
Xu Le took some medicine to cool down and took it over to feed Xu Gan to drink it. He smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, I have heard calluses from childhood to adulthood. I would rather serve the people in the countryside than be a lackey under the aristocratic family."
Xu Gan drank the medicine in small sips and looked at his grandson.
The 19-year-old Yingrui boy had his eyebrows and eyes that were unique to the Xu family. His father was like this back then. How many people looked at him in Chang'an City!
Compared to his father, Xu Le had more sunny smiles that he had always had. How many heroes and young men made enemies, Xu Le could resolve them with a smile.
I am old and can no longer protect him, and I cannot protect my beloved grandson from the wind and rain...
In the future, Xu Le can only go on his own, in this chaos again...
After drinking the medicine, Xu Gan lifted the felt and was about to sit up. Xu Le hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Seeing that the grandfather, who was famous in the Sanggan River Valley, was stiff and still trying to sit up straight, Xu Le felt a little sad, but he restrained himself. He still joked: "I know grandpa, you are the old horse, you know the way, and you have a friendship with Dadan tribe, but I really can't take grandpa, you are on the way. I can't take care of this..."
Xu Gan glared: "The old man wants you to take care of him!"
After barely sitting down, Xu Gan looked at Xu Le stably, and was silent for a while and finally spoke: "Let's go tomorrow?"
Xu Le nodded: "Eight people were selected, Han and I led the team, and twenty animals were ready. Sixteen brought food and four brought salt. If you don't go on the road tomorrow, you won't even pay for the money for the weeds."
Xu Gan had no choice but to be calm in everything he had with his grandson. He had been tough and serious throughout his life, and he became stronger and stronger. His son died early and always acted sternly. He didn't know how this grandson was educated like this.
However, Xu Gan still knew that behind Xu Le's easy-going and casual smile, there was a sharp and almost imposing nature. At such a critical moment, Xu Le could poke a hole in the sky!
But I don’t know how long I have to restrain this only bloodline that is as sharp as a sword and can’t wait to devote myself to this troubled world?
Xu Gan slowly spoke: "I am old and can't take care of you for the rest of my life. The world is going to be in chaos, and you always have to face this world... Let's set off tomorrow, and then set off tomorrow. But there are two things you should remember."
Xu Le also restrained his smile and lowered his hands and said, "Grandpa, I'll listen."
Xu Gan's voice was as ironic as he said: "The ancestors of the Xu family followed the chariot of the ancestors, rode northward, but failed to return to the south, and moved to the north, and finally went to Mayi. For hundreds of years, the Hu family's family had caused trouble in the Central Plains, and the Xu family's children protected their own villages and never helped the Hu people to abuse them. The Western Wei established the Eight-Pillar Kingdom, and the Han people gradually took over the power. Only then did the ancestors come out and join the army to restore the Han family's country. Although they are now remote in the village, this ancestral teaching has never been forgotten! If they are connected with foreign races, they are not descendants of our Xu family!"
Xu Lesu bowed and said that Xu Le actually disagreed with his grandfather's ancestral teachings. He rode north with his ancestral carriage, and I don't know what year it was. The so-called failure to return south means that he became a supporter in the north. Although most of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty were Han people, the Yuwen family was still a different race. Did the ancestors know that Emperor Kaihuang could finally establish the Han family of the Great Sui Dynasty?
However, Xu Le never had a good impression of the alien race. The Turks pressed north of Mayi and went south to harass them every year. They even broke the Yanmen encircled the Emperor of Daye in Yanmen City and the border areas, and there were many painful stories of being killed by the Turks. Xu Le never had to get along after being bullied.
The Turks killed and plundered the Han family. How could they not revenge such blood feud? But my grandfather always had to let himself go to Shenwu to expel the Turks in the future and make some achievements!
The 19-year-old boy has a lot of skills. How can he not have the intention of being the champion Hou Fenglang Juxu when he encounters this troubled world?
Let’s leave it to the future! First settle the family affairs so that the old man can rest assured and no longer worry. There must be heroes in this world to clarify, so why can’t it be me, Xu Le?
Xu Ganyusheng became depressed again: "The second thing is my advice to you. Now, I will never be a lackey for the noble family in my life!"
