Yuan Tang was also injured and needed to recuperate, but as the eldest son of General Yuan, he had to be filial.I walked in front of General Yuan's spirit for part of the way, and returned to the car when I couldn't walk, rested for a while and continued walking.

Fortunately, half of the return journey is by water, and it is fast and comfortable to travel with the wind.When boarding the boat, Yuan De murmured that General Yuan planned to dig a waterway from Zerou to Jucheng so that he could move troops and transport food...

Outside the city of Zerou, the white flags fluttering can be seen from a distance, the general's mansion head Shi Lu Binghui who got the news first, led the officials and subordinates of the mansion to greet him at the ferry.

After getting off the boat, General Yuan's coffin was transported directly back to the General's Mansion.

Lu Changshi and Lu Xiaowei belonged to the same family, and both belonged to the local wealthy family in Zerou. They were less than 40 years old, and they handled affairs prudently and properly.

After Yuantang and the others arrived in Zerou, everything was ready.General Yuan had many old friends in Zerou, most of whom were from local rich families. When they heard that General Yuan was killed in battle, they sent people to express their condolences.

Due to the death of the town general, Zerou's defense this winter must not be sloppy. After returning to Zerou, Yuan De and Lu Changshi started to prepare for the winter.

Yuan De said that the court will soon transfer other people to Zerou to guard, and then they can go back to Jiyang, the Yuan family's ancestral home.

It was only after returning to Zerou and Yuantang that he found out that General Yuan still had two concubines in Zerou's mansion.One is Ma, a girl from a good family in Zerou, and the other is Peggy, who was born as a singing girl.Both of them are in their prime, young and beautiful, and Mrs. Ma is pregnant.

When they learned of the death of General Yuan, the two concubines cried into tears.Yuan Tang has to take care of the visitors and take care of the inner house, and even squeezes out time for sleeping and eating.

After more than half a decade like this, one day at lunch time, the boy came to pass the message that they brought the man back from Jucheng and wanted to see him.

Yuan Tang slapped his head and almost forgot A Cong.

Yuan Tang arranged for A Cong to live in a room, sent someone to take care of him, and asked a doctor to help him see his injuries. He used the best medicine, but after returning to Zerou, he never visited A Cong.

It is too negligent to bring people from Jucheng and "don't listen to them".

Ah Cong was also eating, with a white cloth wrapped around his body, and he looked much more energetic.When Yuantang came in, Ah Cong put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

Yuan Tang took the blame, and said with a smirk, "You woke up, when did you wake up, and how is your injury doing? There are too many people to see these days, so I didn't come to see you, and the hospitality was not good, hehe."

Yuantang also felt that something was not right after he said it. No matter what he heard, it was perfunctory and impolite to others.

A Cong nodded and said, "Thank you, little general, for your hospitality. There is no serious problem."

Yuan Tang felt that A Cong must be angry, he was wrong, even if the intention was good, bringing someone to Ze Rou without asking A Cong's opinion was really disrespectful.

Originally, Yuan Tang wanted to explain it to A Cong, but on the way they parted ways, Yuan Tang fell ill once due to internal injuries, and after returning to Zerou, he was confused, so he ignored it.

Yuan Tang turned serious, bowed deeply to Ah Cong, and said: "I was rude, so I will accompany you first. Before we left, Uncle De and I heard that you were injured, so we went to the government office to see you. I decided to take you away. I received Zerou and wanted to help you heal your wounds in return for saving your life on the city wall. If you want to leave, I will help you prepare a car and a horse immediately. But you are tired of me from Jucheng to Zerou. Hurt and hurrying, I must be ashamed. There are a lot of brothers, Ah Cong, so let's not care about this ignorant bastard like me, and leave after recovering from the injury."

He was a young boy, so solemn and sincere, Ah Cong didn't like his courtesy, stared at him for a while, his face couldn't get angry, and said: "You...forget it! Tell me, thank you little general for helping me heal my wounds."

Yuan Tang straightened up with a smile on his face, and said, "Thank you, Brother A Cong, for your generosity. If you don't mind, just call me Yuan Erlang, or call me A Tang. Yuan doesn't have the position of general, and the junior generals are called me by their praise." Yes, that's not the case." Yuan Tang is a second-hander at home, and Erlang is a more common name for ordinary second-hand men.

When he hit the snake with the stick like this, Ah Cong became more and more helpless, he just opened his mouth and didn't speak.

Yuan Tang's smile deepened, and he went to the food table and said, "Brother Ah Cong was injured, he should eat more tonics. I didn't eat, why don't we eat together."

Ah Cong looked at Yuantang's face for a long time, as if he had never seen such a slobbery face, finally nodded and said, "Please."

The two had a peaceful lunch like this.

After the meal, A Cong said to Yuan Tang: "Today, I came to Yuan Langjun specifically to say goodbye to him. Everything I did in Jucheng was due to my duty to defend the city. Thanks to the general's generosity, there will be no more inconvenience." disturb."

When Yuan Tang heard that he still had to leave, he couldn't swallow the hot tea he took.

Ah Cong seemed to be a different person from when he was in Jucheng. At that time, he felt that Ah Cong was not so repulsive to others thousands of miles away.

Or maybe he didn't know Ah Cong well enough, how could he determine what kind of person Ah Cong was after only a few days in Jucheng.

Thinking about it this way, Yuantang felt that he was too reckless when he brought A Cong back.

He was too unreasonable, and he was a little worried about A Cong's injury, so he said, "I'm leaving now? Is your injury really healed? Although there is no fever, it will take some time for the wound to fully heal. Is there something in the house?" The place is not doing well...”

A Cong said: "Although the injury is not healed, walking is not hindered. You can start the journey immediately." Seeing Yuan Tang's cautious look, he added: "There is nothing wrong with the family, and I appreciate your kindness."

Yuan Tang didn't know what to say, he felt that this friend might not be able to make friends, and even offended the other party.

He still put on a smiling face and said, "Since this is the case, I'll have someone prepare the carriages and horses for the salute immediately. Brother A Cong, please don't refuse, at least let Yuan Mou take care of one or two."

Ah Cong hesitated for a while, then nodded, and said to Yuan Tang, "Thank you."

Yuan Tang thought that A Cong's injury was not healed after all, so he asked people to pack all the wound medicine and supplements, and the boy went to pass on the word to run errands, leaving Yuan Tang and A Cong in the room.

A Cong coughed and said, "I have to leave as soon as possible because of something urgent. It's none of other people's business. A Cong has accepted the kindness of the little general."

Yuan Tang said: "No, no, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here by force. You don't have to worry about me."

After being relatively silent for a while, Ah Cong suddenly said: "Actually, the little general and Yuan Canjun had better leave Zerou as soon as possible."

Yuan Tang felt strange, and before he could ask, Yuan De hurried over from outside.

"Little general, it's not good, pack up your things quickly, let's go back to Ji Yang."

"Ok?"

"Hu Feiyuan is taking over from General Zhen Zerou, and he has already entered the city!"

"Uh-huh?"

"No, it's too late, let's send the general's coffin out of the city first."

"Hmmmm?"

Yuan Tang was confused, Yuan De was so anxious that Shen Qiuli was sweating.

Who is Hu Feiyuan, and what is the situation now! ?

……

Combining Yuan Tang's limited memory and Yuan De's description, Yuan Tang figured out Hu Feiyuan and his old grievances with General Yuan.

Hu Feiyuan was also a general.About ten years ago, Beisheng unified the north and was in full swing, preparing to attack Nanxia.The imperial court recruited Jinyong from all over the country to form the Northern Expedition Army.Both General Yuan and Hu Feiyuan were recruited.

At that time, the Shen family was in power, and the Yuan family was the former branch of the Shen family. General Yuan's father had served as a general for the Shen family. In the process of forming the Northern Expedition Army, the Yuan family valued them a lot.

Jin Yong, who was recruited at that time, belonged to General Yuan and had the highest status.Hu Feiyuan was not very convinced back then.

Then during the Northern Expedition, General Yuan and Hu Feiyuan each had military exploits, but General Yuan always beat Hu Feiyuan.

Before General Yuan passed away, he was granted the title of General Longxiang, who belonged to the third rank, and was granted the male title of Xuwu County.Hu Feiyuan is still a fifth-rank General Weiyuan, without a title.Moreover, General Yuan Zhenzerou, Hu Feiyuan stationed at the border between Nanxia and Beicheng, sometimes had to be dispatched by General Yuan.

Four years ago, Shen Zhilian and Shen Shangshu left the capital because of the emperor's suspicion, and the Shen family forces withdrew from the center.Although General Yuan still has military achievements, he has lost support in the court.The Xiao family that came to power later was the main force to expel the Shen family. General Yuan was counted among the forces of the Shen family, and his position was in jeopardy.

After the defeat of Shang Huajian, Zhongshu ordered Xiao Xiezhi to write a letter to the court, thinking that General Yuan was not suitable to be in charge of Zerou and should be replaced by someone else.

General Yuan was well-known on the border between the two countries. The court wavered on this matter and did not immediately remove General Yuan from his post.

That's why General Yuan paid so much attention to the danger of Jucheng this time, and personally brought people to support him, because he didn't want the Xiao family to take the opportunity to suppress him.

When they were still in Jucheng, Yuan De quickly sent the news of General Yuan's death back to the court.Yuan De originally thought that the new town would not be in place for at least a month, so these days he and Lu Changshi are making every effort to deploy defenses.

Unexpectedly, the city guard suddenly reported that Hu Feiyuan had entered the city, and he was here to guard Zerou.

Yuan De was shocked and hurried to find Yuan Tang.

Yuan De said: "The Xiao family originally wanted to replace their person, Zhen Zerou, but they have not yet decided on a candidate. Hu Feiyuan came so quickly, he should have got the news from the court. I am afraid that he has already climbed into the Xiao family! Only when he entered the city Communication, it is clear that the comer is not good, little general, let's pack up our things and leave quickly."

Yuan Tang heard some doubts, and asked: "The imperial court is going to send someone to take over Zerou, you don't know at all?"

Yuan De said: "I haven't seen an edict, and there is no news report..." Yuan De also became suspicious.

Yuan Tang said: "You haven't received the news, haven't the Recorder and Chang Shi received it?"

Yuan De low cursed, knowing that they might be plotted.

Maybe it wasn't a calculation, everyone said that people are leaving tea, General Yuan is dead, Yuan Tang can't stand up to take over Ze Rou, the court will definitely send a new general, and the whole army is not as loyal to General Yuan as Yuan De is. It is normal for people to have different opinions.

Yuan Tang said: "I'm afraid the visitor is not only unkind, but also well-prepared. He is the general of Zerou Town now, and the military mansion and the soldiers in the city have to listen to him. If we want to leave, he can stop us."

Yuan De had a sullen face, as if he was ready to find someone to fight at any time.

Yuan Tang straightened his skirt and sleeves, and said, "Forget it, tell the family to prepare tea to welcome the guests."

Yuan De nodded and said, "Yes."

Yuan Tang walked out two steps, then backed away, Ah Cong remained silent, and Yuan Tang didn't know what he was thinking.Just now A Cong reminded him to leave Zerou quickly, did he know that Hu Feiyuan was coming?

Yuan Tang bowed his hands to A Cong, and said, "Look at me, I forgot about you again. The salute is ready, I don't know when Brother A Cong will leave. If it is now, I'm afraid we can't send each other off, or Brother A Cong will be in the mansion again Stay one more day, wait for me to pack up the chores, and then see you off."

Ah Cong cupped his fists and said, "No need. The little general takes care."

He was determined to go, and Yuan Tang didn't want to keep him anymore.Yuan De was a little surprised when he heard that A Cong was leaving, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Yuantang had a vague feeling that Ah Cong didn't want to get involved in the disputes about the succession of generals in Zerou Town. Although he became more curious about Ah Cong, he also knew that enough was enough, so he said, "Brother Ah Cong also cherishes it. There will be a period later."

In front of General Yuan's mourning hall, Yuan De summoned more than a dozen of General Yuan's personal soldiers to line up on both sides of the mourning hall, as if they were going to fight. .

Yuan Tang was afraid of scaring them, especially Ma Shi was still pregnant, so he ordered them to be sent back to the backyard first.

Within half a quarter of an hour, Lu Changshi led a round-headed and big-armed general to the front of the hall. Yuan Tang got up to greet him. The general ignored Yuan Tang and strode into the hall. He supported General Yuan's coffin and said, "Ancestor Brother Yao, why did you go like this?"

Zu Yao is the name of General Yuan.

Hu Feiyuan sighed for a long time, as if he was very sad.
