Dakui was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said, "I have to leave too. Please bring Hongyun here, my nephew." Huiqing agreed and went out. Dakui and Yang Xiaohu walked out of the room. Dakui looked around at the clearing.
With empty view, I feel lingering in my heart and feel sad.
Not long after, Huiqing brought Hongyun over. Hongyun was obviously very happy to see Dakui. He trotted over and put his head on Dakui's chest. Dakui stroked Hongyun and said, "Come down the mountain with me, I miss you too.
." Hongyun snorted and seemed very happy.
Yang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Sir, this horse is so beautiful." Dakui said: "This horse has been with me for a long time. Hongyun deserves the most credit for our status today." Dakui handed the iron gun and the baggage to Yang Xiaohu, and then
He went to his room to get a saddle and stirrup for Hongyun.
Then he said to Huiqing: "Master nephew, I'm leaving now." Hui Qing said hurriedly: "Master uncle, please wait." After that, he ran into the room and took out Dakui's wallet and said: "This is what you had back then.
Uncle Master, please take the money bag you left behind with you." Dakui smiled, luckily Hui Qing remembered. Otherwise, he would be freeloading again.
Dakui took the money bag, took twenty taels of silver from it and put it in his arms. The rest was handed to Hui Qing and said, "Leave this money in Guanli so that you can prepare some firewood, rice, oil and salt." Hui Qing took the money bag and looked at it.
Dakui asked: "When will my uncle come back from here?"
Dakui smiled and said, "Things will come naturally when I'm done. You can take good care of Master in the temple." Huiqing agreed, with tears streaming down her face. Dakui smiled and said, "You're such a big man now.
Why are you still crying?"
Huiqing said: "Master said that it will take many years for you to come back after this trip. Huiqing is reluctant to let go of the foolish uncle." Dakui looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "When I go out and finish my work, I will naturally come to see you. I also miss a few senior brothers.
Ah." Dakui paused and said, "Okay, no more talking. Let's go."
After saying that, Dakui took Hongyun and led Yang Xiaohu out of Qingxu Temple, while Hui Qing was sent outside the mountain gate.
Dakui left another horse for Guanli. Before leaving, he said to Huiqing: "Leave this horse with Guanli so that you can go down the mountain for me." Huiqing nodded with tears. Dakui no longer missed it and took Yang Xiaohu with him.
He led the horse down the mountain.
Walking on the mountain road, Yang Xiaohu said: "Sir, your iron gun is not ordinary." Dakui said: "Well, this gun and the armor in the bag were both gifts from King Xiao Ming back then." Yang Xiaohu heard this.
King Ming hurriedly asked: "Sir, do you know my father?" Dakui nodded and said: "Yes, we are both teachers and friends."
Yang Xiaohu heard this and asked urgently: "Has he ever mentioned me? What does my father look like?" Dakui walked away silently without answering. Yang Xiaohu asked loudly again: "Sir, what do you think?" Dakui said.
Walking first, he only said one sentence: "There are no parents in the world who don't miss their children. Your father is a hero." After saying that, he took the baggage and hung it on the saddle, and hung the iron gun on the saddle hook. He got on the horse and said, "From now on.
You will understand, from now on I will adopt you as my adopted son, and I will make you famous all over the world." After saying that, he galloped away to the north.
With tears shining in Yang Xiaohu's eyes, he got on his horse and shouted "Drive", then he galloped his horse and followed Dakui closely, whipping up his whip.
Da Kui and Yang Xiaohu rushed all the way back to Longping Mansion. Because Yang Xiaohu's horse was an ordinary war horse, Da Kui did not dare to ride at full strength, so it took two days to reach the Longping boundary. By the time they arrived in front of the city gate, it was already evening, Da Kui took Yang Xiaohu in
After arriving in the city, we went all the way to Longping Inn.
There was still some way to go from the inn. Dakui was riding on his horse and saw two people standing in front of the Longping Inn from a distance. It was Huang Shijie and Huang Ying. Dakui was startled and stopped quickly. When Yang Xiaohu saw this, he asked: "Why did you stop, sir?"
Not going forward?" Dakui said: "Don't ask any more questions, just go to Longping Inn to find Master Feng and tell him that I entered through the back door."
After saying that, Da Kui turned his horse's head around the back street, found the back door of Longping Inn, dismounted and waited. After a while, the courtyard door opened, and Master Feng and Yang Xiaohu came out. Da Kui handed the horse's rein to Yang Xiaohu and ducked into the backyard of the inn.
Master Feng followed him and reported: "Pang Zhidong, the magistrate of Jiahe County, has been beheaded. Huang Shijie and his daughter from the Zhengtong Escort came here to visit Luo Dahai. According to your wishes, Luo Dahai has been detained alone."
Dakui said as he walked: "Well, do you have any news about Xu Yuan and the others?" Master Feng said: "They haven't come back yet." After a pause, he reported: "I feel that it is not an option for you to hide the Huang family's father and daughter like this.
Your Excellency, you should meet them." Da Kui walked into the inn courtyard, turned around and said, "As soon as we meet, we will get married on the same day. This will delay the marriage for more than a few months?"
Dakui stood there and thought hard. After a while, Dakui chuckled and said, "I have an idea..."
Seeing Da Kui's confidence, Master Feng couldn't help but asked: "What's your clever idea?" Da Kui smiled and said: "You don't need to ask more about this, just go and spread the word. Ask Huang Shijie and his daughter to visit Luo Dahai, but they can only watch from a distance.
Stay close to the words." Master Feng bowed, clasped his fists and accepted the order before leaving.
Dakui took Yang Xiaohu all the way to the upper room. Tian Feng and Zhou Kai had been waiting in front of the door. When they saw Dakui, they bowed and saluted, "Mr. Zhang." Tian Feng and Zhou Kai opened the door. Dakui' um
With a cry, he stepped into the room. Yang Xiaohu followed closely with an iron gun in one hand and a baggage in the other.
Dakui walked into the room and handed the Longquan Sword to Tian Feng, then sat down at the table. Tian Feng hung up the sword and followed closely to pour tea: "Sir, you have worked hard all the way, please have tea." Dakui smiled and said: "You and I
We will get along with each other for a long time in the future, why should we be so reserved?" Tian Feng said with a smile: "Your Excellency is the second grade, and the subordinates are only the fifth grade bodyguards. I don't dare to be presumptuous because of my superiority." Dakui chuckled and said, "In the future, we will have some friends outside.
No matter how high or low you are, you don't have to be too restrained inside." Tian Feng said with a smile: "The adults are approachable, and I will obey my orders." Zhou Kai took the baggage and the iron gun from Yang Xiaohu and entered the inner room.
Yang Xiaohu looked around and praised: "The house where you live is so beautiful." Dakui smiled and said nothing, Tian Feng said: "Sir Zhang has an official residence in Yingtian Mansion that was given by the King of Wu. It is ten times bigger than this inn.
It’s more than twice as luxurious.” Yang Xiaohu was dumbfounded.
Dakui said: "Xiaohu is the son of my old friend, and now I have adopted him as my adopted son." Hearing this, Tian Feng raised his hands and saluted Yang Xiaohu and said, "It turns out he is the young master, I am rude." Yang Xiaohu laughed and waved his hand:
"This big brother is so polite, so polite."
Dakui said: "Stop chatting and ask the store to prepare a bucket of water. I need to take a shower and change clothes." Tian Feng followed the order and went out. Dakui drank tea and said to Yang Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, if you are hungry, go to the front hall.
You can eat whatever you want." Yang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Well, I'll help you carry water." Dakui stopped him with a smile, "You don't have to go, the store clerk will take care of these things. I'll take a shower later.
You have to go out to take a shower and change clothes, so you can get acquainted with other people here. You should also take a shower and change clothes."
Yang Xiaohu looked up and down on his body. He was still wearing the same soldier uniform as he had at the inn, with gray clothes and gray trousers around his waist. The black cloth wristbands on his wrists were torn, and the black cloth boots on his feet were also worn out. Yang Xiaohu
I couldn't help but laugh. From a soldier at the post station to the adopted son of a second-rank official in the current dynasty, his status was completely different.
