Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Xu Ning left, Mrs. Xu Ning felt a little uneasy.

    I tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.

    Seeing that it was getting dark, he got up and made breakfast. At the same time, he sent a maid to wait for Xu Ning at the door. Once she saw Xu Ning, she would come and send her a message.

    ??Looking at the sun getting higher, Mrs. Xu Ning gradually became anxious. Looking at her son running around on the ground, she couldn't help but slap her.

    Xu Sheng, who was six or seven years old, was immediately stunned. Seeing that his usually gentle mother suddenly changed, he was so frightened that he burst into tears.

    After Mrs. Xu Ning was slapped, she immediately felt distressed and started crying while hugging her son.

    "Mom, please stop crying, Xiao Sheng doesn't feel hurt."

    When little Xu Sheng saw his mother crying, he comforted her in a soft voice.

    Madam Xu Ning was just about to speak when she heard the maid guarding outside the door shout: "There is news about the master."

    Mrs. Xu Ning immediately abandoned her son, turned around and ran out the door.

    When I arrived at the door, I found that the person who came was not my husband Xu Ning, but a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old holding a red sheepskin box.  If you look closely, there is also a green cloud head Ruyi embroidered with white thread, and a lion rolling a hydrangea in the middle, which is exactly the same as the box I lost.

    The maid saw the madam¡¯s confused look and quickly explained: ¡°This young master said he has news about his master.¡±

    When Mrs. Xu Ning heard this, she felt blessed and said, "Young Master, please inform me about the officials in my family."

    Chao Yong took out a note from his arms, handed it to Xu Ning and said: "I am the young owner of Chen's Hotel, thirty miles east of the city. This morning, a man covered in injuries broke into my store, saying that he was with a thief.  There was a conflict, and he asked me to send this box here, and he wrote this note as a reward."

    Mrs. Xu Ning took the note and saw a simple line written on it, "A hundred strings are given to the brother holding the note, Xu Ning." The handwriting was exactly that of her husband Xu Ning.

    Mrs. Xu Ning panicked and said, "It was written by my official. Is he seriously injured?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and sighed: "It was already difficult for me to speak when I came here. I was afraid that I would die, so I asked me to deliver the box to deliver the message. Your officials asked me to deliver the box and asked my wife to take my son with me.  I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m going to be late to see him for the last time¡­¡±

    When Madam Xu heard that Xu Ning was about to die, she suddenly swayed and almost fell down.

    Fortunately, the maid next to her was smart and helped her.

    Chao Yong saw that Mrs. Xu was so badly beaten, and felt ashamed in his heart. He comforted her and said, "Ma'am, take care, maybe your family has improved. This is a box. Take a look at what's inside."

    When Mrs. Xu Ning heard this, her eyes lit up. She took the box and handed it to the maid, saying, "Put it away carefully until I come back."

    "Xu Ding, prepare the carriage quickly."

    Chao Yong brought the box just to win Mrs. Xu¡¯s trust, but he was stunned when she didn¡¯t even look at it.

    If I had known earlier, I would have put something in the box for her, and it would have saved me the trouble of stealing it again.

    While the servants were preparing the carriage, Madam Xu also took some silver and gave it to Chao Yong.

    But it was said that after Xu Ning wrote a note to Chao Yong, the news in exchange was that the ransom would be paid at another restaurant fifty miles away at noon tomorrow.

    Xu Ning saw that it was already getting late, so he had no choice but to rest at Chen's Hotel.

    The next morning, Xu Ning and Chao Yong went out together. The difference was that Xu Ning continued to go east, while Chao Yong went to Tokyo.

    Xu Ning galloped all the way, but he arrived at the designated restaurant in more than an hour. He waited until noon but no one came to chat with him. He also asked all the customers in the restaurant but no one paid attention to him. He sat in the restaurant until the evening and no one showed up.  The person he was looking for.

    On the third day, he waited for another half day before returning to Tokyo unwillingly.

    When I returned home, I heard another bad news. Yesterday, a young young man took his ancestral Yan Ling Jia and the note he wrote and stole his wife and son.

    That night, the maid just took a nap, and the Yan Feijia she had kept disappeared again, leaving behind another letter asking Xu Ning to go to Chen's hotel.

    When Xu Ning heard that the thief had stolen his wife and beloved son, he roared angrily, then mounted his horse and rushed to the Chen Family Hotel outside the city.

    When Xu Ning was about to arrive at Chen's Hotel, he saw a black horse on the side of the official road. It was the young man who had asked him to write a note at the hotel.

    Seeing these people who were teasing him again and again, Xu Ning's eyes burst out with anger, and he wished he could pull out his sword and chop the thief in two to relieve the hatred in his heart.

    Thinking that his wife¡¯s whereabouts were unknown now, he could only hold back his anger, clasped his fists and said with a smile: ¡°I don¡¯t know where Xu Ning offended my little brother, allowing him to tease me like this.¡±

    Chao Yong originally wanted toAfter this plan, I couldn't bear it. After all, tossing people back and forth like this is not as good as Song Jiang's frequent killings and shady accusations, but it is still enough to make people angry.

    Xu Ning went up the mountain just to earn money, but he had to do it shamelessly.

    At this time, seeing Xu Ning swallowing his anger, he couldn't help but feel even more ashamed. He turned over and dismounted, prostrated to the ground, and said: "You and I are strangers, so why should I offend you? Chao Yong really has to do this, please forgive me General Xu."  ¡±

    Although Xu Ning was also very angry, seeing Chao Yong pay such a grand gift, he had no choice but to get off his horse and help Chao Yong up, saying: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. If I can help you, I will not refuse. What's the point?"  It¡¯s a lot of trouble.¡±

    Chao Yong felt ashamed and said: "To be honest, general, I am Chao Yong, the little overlord of Liangshan. Now the traitors in the court are in power and poisoning the people. I, Liangshan, are determined to do justice for heaven, but I have no choice but to have a small army and few generals, and the court is coming menacingly, so I am recruiting talents from all over."  This time, the imperial court sent Hu Yanzhuo, the commander of Runing County, to attack Liangshan. The Huyan family's armored horses were so powerful that they could not be broken except by the general's hook and sickle spear. Therefore, Chao Yong boldly set up this plan and returned it.  Please go up to the mountain and help us Liangshan destroy the iron-armored horses."

    Xu Ning felt familiar with the name Chao Yong when he heard it before, but he didn't associate the person in front of him with the little overlord Chao Yong, the son of Chao Gai, the Liangshan giant who robbed Yuncheng County and Dongping Mansion. After all, he was the emperor.  At his feet, Chao Yong was a huge bandit wanted by the court. He didn't expect him to dare to commit danger himself.

    When Xu Ning heard that he was asked to turn into a bandit, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are my wife and son already on the way to Liangshan?"

    Chao Yong said awkwardly: "Don't worry, General Xu. I have asked people to take good care of me. I will not wrong Mrs. Xu and Mr. Ling. General Xu's Yan Lingjia has also been sent to Liangshan. When the general goes up the mountain, the original will be returned."  ¡±

    Xu Ning heard that the three most important things were intact, so he made a decision, but after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Although I have the ancestral hook and sickle spear skills, this hook and sickle spear is not made by ordinary blacksmiths.  Yes. Without a hook, sickle, and spear, I couldn't break the chain horse even if I went up the mountain."

    Chao Yong was overjoyed when he saw that Xu Ning was ready to go up the mountain. He smiled and said, "I have asked someone to find a skilled craftsman, Tang Long, the golden leopard. Making a hook, sickle, and spear will not be a problem."

    "He is my uncle's brother. It was because my uncle was good at making various weapons that he was valued by Mr. Xianggong, the old manager, and he worked hard to know the village. I heard that my uncle died a few years ago. I don't know how to express this.  But my brother went to Liangshan. If he were here, it would be easy to make a hook and sickle."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "He hadn't gone up the mountain when I came, but I have already found out his whereabouts and sent someone to fetch him. Your brothers will be reunited when we go to the stronghold."

    Hearing this, Xu Ning smiled bitterly and said: "The matter has come to this, and I have no other choice. Let's hurry up. It would be best if we can catch up with my wife and son, so that they will not be worried."

    (Thanks to "Money will never be exchanged" and "Hao Gaoyuan" for their continuous rewards

    There are a lot of things going on today, so this is the only chapter left, there will be two more updates tomorrow)
