Under the city of Shexian County, flags were flying, and Chongzhou troops were deployed layer by layer.

In front of the array, Hu Chengliang, a man in armor, sat high on a horse, his face as sinking as water.

On the big day, when the guests gathered together, the bride was snatched away. Such a shame and humiliation, he must seek revenge from the old thief Xiao Hu!

Thinking of Qizi who was alternately awake and asleep on the hospital bed, he even wanted to skin and dismember Xiao Yuandu!

As the outer gateway of Binzhou, Shexian County has a high city wall and thick walls, and there are trenches on the outside for protection.

The Chongzhou army had been shouting for a long time. No matter how harsh the insults were, they just closed the city gate and refused to come out.

Just when Hu Chengliang was about to order the attack on the city, the city gate suddenly opened.

With no elite cavalry or generals, Xiao Hu left the city alone, bare-chested and carrying a bush.

"this--"

Hu Chengliang's lieutenants looked at each other and then looked at their lord.

Hu Chengliang was also stunned, as if he didn't expect Xiao Hu to be so willing to spend money.

"Brother! Brother Chengliang!" Xiao Hu opened his voice from a distance, his voice was like a bell, "Xiao Hu did not teach his son well, and he can't help you, so he came here to apologize to you!!"

After that, the two armies knelt down on one knee in front of the formation and saluted Hu Chengliang.

The tense atmosphere just now was suddenly silenced by this incident.

Regardless of whether Xiao Hu was genuine or fake, it was enough to give Hu Chengliang face.

Hu Chengliang had no choice but to suppress his anger and said coldly: "Does Governor Xiao want to put me in a position of disloyalty? No one except the emperor can bear such a great gift from you, so you should stand up and speak."

Xiao Hu stood up according to the words, and never forgot to swear: "The sky can tell me, Xiao is extremely regretful, and what he did today comes from the bottom of his heart!"

"Hmph! Why bother with lies? Just hand over the person."

He wanted not only a bride, but also Xiao Yuandu.

"This..." Xiao Hu looked embarrassed, "Brother Chengliang! We have all been young, and we all know that young people are full of blood... The two of them have accomplished good things now. If they are sent back again, wouldn't they be intentionally humiliating——

"

"How dare you, Shu Zi!" Hu Chengliang was furious, his face was twisted, and his expression was extremely terrifying, "Where is Xiao Yuandu?!"

Xiao Hu also had a look of anger on his face and said angrily: "I have already broken that scoundrel's legs, and he is now paralyzed on the bed. Otherwise, I will take him and come to make amends to you, brother."

Hu Chengliang gritted his teeth and was so angry that his beard and hair were like steel needles: "Xiao Hu, you have a good idea! You are unwilling to return the bride, and you are unwilling to tie up the culprit. You think you will bear this burden."

That’s all? Dream!”

"Brother Hu, brother Hu, listen to me."

Xiao Hu had a serious and reasonable tone.

"Although the evil son is wrong, marriage robbery is our custom in the North. Although he was a bit foolhardy, but in the huge Huatong City, so many guards allowed him to take the bride out, wouldn't it be even more inappropriate? What if it was a bride robbery?

You will take him down that night, behead or kill him, I, Xiao, will have no problem! Now several days have passed, and the raw rice has been cooked, and it is time to settle the accounts again. Isn’t it a bit, haha, a joke? Ordinary people

Shangzhi is willing to admit defeat, so why don’t we make mistakes—"

"It's a mistake to make a mistake? To put it lightly, it's not your daughter-in-law who was robbed!"

Xiao Hu said seriously: "When the six and seven sons get married, if I want to, I can come and snatch it away!"

"You!" Hu Chengliang didn't expect him to be so shameless, and his face turned livid.

No longer willing to talk nonsense, he choked and drew his sword, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Xiao Hu, and sneered: "Don't talk much! Since you came to the door today, I will first behead you, and then chop that Xiao Yuandu alive!"

"

"No, my lord!" the lieutenant reminded in a low voice, "Xiao Hu tied his hands and shouldered the thorns in front of the formation, and in the name of asking for forgiveness, I killed him like this, for fear that he would be laughed at by everyone in the world."

Xiao Hu was not afraid, and showed a solemn attitude that he was about to die.

"If I can dispel your anger, brother, why should I be afraid of Xiao's death? Let the head be taken away! But," he paused, "the flames of war in the north have only just died out. If you and I start a big war today, we will be killed again."

It will lead to the loss of life. Brother, you don’t think about anything else, and you don’t think about the people of Chongzhou? As far as I know, Shuozhou and Qinzhou have been trying to make a move, and they are eyeing you, Chongzhou.”

Hu Chengliang snorted: "Your old neighbors are restless, too."

"That's not true! If we fight, the relatives will hate each other and the enemies will be happy. Who will benefit then?"

Hu Chengliang remained silent.

If he hadn't thought of this, he would have conquered Shexian County long ago.

In fact, he had deeper concerns.

Although Xiao Hu is talented, he is short-sighted and all he wants is to be the overlord in Binzhou, so he is not a big threat.

Hu Chengliang is also aware that the imperial court wants to use him to check and balance itself. At present, he does not want to break this balance to avoid the disaster of Mu Xiu and Lin.

Otherwise, if the Xiao family falls and his family becomes the dominant one in the North, then the imperial court will probably mobilize the whole country to conquer him. If other military towns take the opportunity to unite...

But this breath is really hard to swallow!

Xiao Hu saw that his expression had relaxed a little, and started singing, chanting, and beating him again, calling him "brother," making him feel affectionate.

Finally, he told me that he had sent someone to Beijing to plead guilty and plead guilty.

I tried my best to let him be beaten and punished, but he ended up striking first. Asking for forgiveness? I'm afraid the evildoer will complain first!

Hu Chengliang had a mouthful of old blood in his throat. He had no choice but to suffer the loss of being dumb and led his troops back.

After returning to Chongzhou, I immediately dispatched a 800-mile rush to wait for the verdict from Jingling.

-

When the news reached Jingling, the whole court was shocked.

Even the queen never expected that she asked Jiang Fusang to marry her not only because she was interested in Jiang Fusang's intelligence, but also because she wanted to do a beauty trick.

Who would have expected that this beauty was actually of the calamity level? Not long after she arrived in Chongzhou, she almost caused the Hu and Xiao families to fall out!

It's a pity that we couldn't fight...

Fortunately there was no fight.

As a barrier to the Northland, once there is chaos between the two families, the Northland will turn into a pot of chaos, and Beiliang will definitely take advantage of it...

The time has not come yet.

Even so, the relationship between Xiao and Hu's family was an unexpected surprise for the royal family, and the benefits were far greater than Empress Lian's original expectations.

However, there is still work to be done on the surface.

So the emperor came forward and reprimanded Xiao Hu severely. In the name of his lax education, he cut off two counties in his territory, fined him 500,000 yuan, and ordered Xiao Yuandu to serve on the spot for one year.

He was also asked to marry another commander, Heng.

Hu Chengliang declined on the grounds that his son's internal organs were in danger after being stimulated.

The imperial court conferred the title of Prince of Wanning County to Commander Heng, and also gave many other rewards as a token of comfort.

But what's the use of any amount of comfort?

Hu Changheng woke up again and learned that the final result was that his wife was transferred to Xiao Yuandu.

Thinking of the slim figure who stood in front of him without hesitation in Qinglu, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell into coma again.

His mother, Mrs. Lu, was heartbroken and went to Hu Chengliang crying: "I don't care about all your plots and plans. I will give the bride to the Xiao family as long as I give it to the Xiao family. Now I only want my son to live!"

How could Hu Chengliang not want his son to be well? But for some reason, the Hu family seemed to have been cursed, and his sons were prone to illness, disasters, and premature deaths.

Mrs. Lu sobbed: "A few years ago, Master Cihang passed by Huatong and said that our Chang Heng was related to Buddhism. You got angry and drove him away. Now all the good doctors everywhere are helpless. According to my wishes, it is better to send Chang Heng away.

If we go to Izumo Temple, there may be a chance of survival."

Hu Chengliang did not believe in gods and Buddhas, so he decided that the old monk was talking nonsense and expelled him.

It's such a desperate situation, but I would rather believe that it exists.

"Okay, as you said, let's send Chang Heng to Izumo Temple."

The shame of growing up and the Hu family will one day be taken back with his own hands.
