Chapter 724 Good Days
The younger brothers of the Xinghan Hui certainly don’t know what domestic demand is and what the origin of raw materials is.
They are still in a very primitive state of ignorance. They only know that if there is a conflict between Han and Wu, the coarse sugar from Jiaozhou and Jingzhou may not be able to enter.
Then they think, why is there a risk that my income will decrease by a few percentage points month-on-month?
It’s all because of Sun Quan’s proclaimed emperor.
It’s all the fault of Soochow for taking away Jingzhou.
It's all the Guan family's fault...this doesn't count!
You may be beaten to death if you speak out.
The risk of raw materials being strangled finally made everyone in Xinghan Club feel a sense of crisis for the first time.
When there is a crisis, it must be resolved.
How to deal with it?
If you have any problems, of course you have to go to the leader.
But the leader is too far away. Fortunately, Erha... brother has returned to Jincheng, so who can I look for if I don't look for you?
Zhao Guang listened to the requests of the younger brothers and thought to himself. The younger brothers value me so much. As the second brother of the Xinghan Society, I have to help think of ideas no matter what.
It’s just that now I am left with an empty name...
Thinking of this, Zhao Guang let out a "tsk" sound, and became even more impatient: no matter how hard he looked, he had to go to his brother to find a solution.
But my brother has already spread the word in Longyou. If you dare to go to him without getting married, your legs will be broken.
You don’t want to use these legs anyway.
At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and someone walked in quickly.
Everyone sitting or standing in the courtyard turned their heads and saw Li Yi Zheng walking in with someone.
“Hey, Wenxuan, didn’t you say you went to Nanzhong?”
Zhao Guang, who was sitting in the middle, stood up and asked.
Because of the hot weather, Li Yi was sweating profusely.
The younger brother, who had woken up early, poured a bowl of tea that had been dried and handed it over.
Li Yi drank it down, then sat down on the chair and took a breath, "I just came back from Wei County and haven't entered the city yet. I heard you guys were gathering here, so I came over."
He rushed back to Jincheng from Longyou a few days ago and confessed some things. Because he was worried about his master, he only stayed in Jincheng for one day and hurriedly continued southward.
Fortunately, Dongfeng Express has been continuously exploring the waterway from Jincheng to Bodao in recent years.
So it is now considered a very mature inland waterway.
It is relatively fast to go down the river from Jincheng to Bodao, then take Wuchi Road, pass through Zhuti County and go directly to Wei County, the county seat of Jianning County (Weixian County is also the seat of the Governor of Nijiang).
What is a little surprising is that Li Yi turned back so quickly.
“I was in a hurry last time and forgot to ask you when will you get married?”
Li Yi asked Zhao Guang.
“May 16th.”
Zhao Guang replied.
“Is it a good day?”
Zhao Guang touched his head and said, "I heard that my grandmother went to beg General Zuo Zhonglang and chose this day."
General Zuo Zhonglang is Du Qiong.
When Feng Yong got married, Du Qiong personally helped choose the date. At the same time, he also approved a sentence: a beautiful woman guards the mountains and tigers make a prosperous house and a prosperous husband;
This is already a very big deal.
Because Du Qiong was also the one who persuaded the late emperor to ascend the throne with the theory of heaven.
Like this time with Zhao Guang, the wife of the Zhao family came to ask for help for a long time in person, but she didn't even meet her in person.
Du Qiong only asked someone to hand over a date. As for any comments he wanted, he couldn't even think about it.
Li Yi nodded when he heard this, "Since it was approved by General Zuo Zhonglang, it must be a good day, so I will choose that day too."
Zhao Guang didn’t think much about it, and said with joy on his face: “That’s just right, it will be more lively then.”
On the other hand, Deng Liang, the leader of the Xinghan Hui Jincheng Hall, was more prudent. "Wenxuan, you are so anxious, but what happened?"
Li Yi pointed at the person he brought, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Talk!"
The visitor had a smile on his face and clasped his fists at everyone: "Li Feng has met all of you brothers."
Li Feng?
Many people are a little confused: Who is this?
Zhao Guang reacted immediately: "It's you!"
Just now, he only felt that this person looked familiar. In addition, Wenxuan brought him here, so he subconsciously thought he was one of his own.
I was thinking about which brother it was that I didn’t see often, so I didn’t think deeply about it.
Unexpectedly, he is Li Yan’s son!
“It’s my younger brother.”
Li Feng saluted Zhao Guang again.
“What a thief, how dare you come here! You are looking for death!”
Zhao Guang looked around, picked up the chair and wanted to throw it over.
“Erlang, what are you doing!”
Li Yi quickly jumped up and hugged him, "They are all our brothers!"
"Who can be his brother?" Zhao Guang's face turned red and he glared at Li Feng, "I don't have such a brother!"
“Wenxuan, let me go and let me beat him to death!”
Zhao Guang was very powerful and was able to lead Li Yi two steps away.
“Weizhe come and help!”
Li Yi shouted.
Deng Liang quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Zhao Guang, and pressed against the other end of the chair, "Erlang, calm down!"
“How to calm down? How do you want me to calm down?”
Zhao Guang is like Erha running wild, and no one can hold him back. "I followed my brother and worked hard, and then I got the title of general. It's because of him..."
“No, no, this matter has nothing to do with Haoxuan.”
Li Yi quickly persuaded.
“What’s the difference between him and the adults in his family?”
Zhao Guang was still furious.
Li Feng held up his hands repeatedly with a wry smile and apology on his face.
Li Yi saw that he couldn't hold Zhao Guang back, so he had to resort to a deadly weapon: "Brother, I have something to say to you!"
Just as Erha saw the kitchen knife ready to cut dog meat, Zhao Guang trembled slightly when he heard Li Yi shouting, and immediately stopped.
He held up the chair, lowered his head, and looked at Li Yi, who was holding his waist, with doubt on his face: "Seriously?"
Li Yi raised his head and said sincerely: "Really, if you want to return to the army as soon as possible, just listen to me and put down the chair first."
Zhao Guang looked at Li Feng, then at Li Yi, thought for a while, and then hesitantly put down his chair.
Li Yi wiped his sweat, then stood up, carefully arranged the chair, and sat down next to Zhao Guang, "Before I came back this time, I went to see my brother, and he told me a few things."
Paralyzing the Li family's big house is just one of them.
“Brother said that the Qiang Guards are currently short of manpower and lack of generals who can lead the army…”
Before Li Yi finished speaking, Zhao Guang's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Why did I lie to you? That Liu Hun is the Huns who worked under my brother before. He had good luck, made great achievements, and was promoted to an official position."
"Now that he has been transferred to the Longyou Governor's Mansion, my brother told me personally that there is no shortage of cavalry under him, but he is short of people to lead the cavalry."
Li Yi quickly explained.
Zhao Guang's mouth was watering, "Among the brothers, when it comes to leading the cavalry, who is more suitable than me?"
Remembering that my brother asked me to learn more about how to lead a cavalry army last year, did I have this plan for a long time?
Zhao Guang couldn't help but dance a little: "Brother really still loves me!"
He was silly and happy for a while, and then he remembered something, "When will brother let me go?"
“Of course it will be after you get married.”
“Good, good, great!”
Zhao Guang couldn't help being happy.
But when he saw Li Feng standing there from the corner of his eye, his face couldn't help but darken again, "What does this matter have to do with him?"
"What do you know?" Li Yi pulled him back again, "Brother wrote to Haoxuan last year, and Haoxuan also understands the righteousness. This time he came to Jincheng, and there is really something big."
Zhao Guang looked at Li Yi suspiciously.
Li Yi had no choice but to whisper: "This matter is of great importance. You will know tomorrow."
Zhao Guang listened and reluctantly nodded: "Sure, Wenxuan, you have always had an idea. Since you said so, I will wait for another day."
Li Yi looked at everyone again and said, "As for the Soochow jaggery, you don't have to worry too much."
“I have not concealed it from everyone until now. In fact, there have been rumors about Sun Quan proclaiming himself emperor in Soochow for a long time, so my brother has also heard about it and has made some inferences about this matter.”
Everyone was a little shocked when they heard this.
But when I think about it, it seems very reasonable.
After all, in Soochow, I heard that the relationship between the brothers is not small.
Sun Quan wants to proclaim himself emperor, so he must at least have time to prepare.
So it was possible that someone had passed on the news that Sun Quan wanted to proclaim himself emperor in advance.
“Brother told me not to make any wild guesses, just wait with peace of mind.”
Hearing that their brother had already made the inference, everyone could finally feel relieved.
Li Yi pointed at Li Feng, "But when I returned to Nanzhong this time, when I passed Zhu Ti, Haoxuan took the initiative to find me and told me something about the matter between the Han Dynasty and Soochow."
"Although I can't say it right now, Haoxuan has really tried his best on this matter. If what he said can come true, everyone will have to thank him in the future, so please be patient for a while longer."
Li Feng's face was a little shy, and at the same time, he was more ashamed. He faced everyone's gaze and said, "Wenxuan deserves the award. Feng is just doing his best to serve as a minister."
Li Yiben was one of the first people to follow his brother. He returned to Shu after going to see his brother. In addition, he was still joining the army in the Prime Minister's Palace.
Since he dared to guarantee this, he must have received some news in advance, and everyone could finally relax for the time being.
Zhao Guang was extremely excited when he learned that his brother had not abandoned him, and that he was going to get his wish and get married to the Huang family's sister.
Old general Zhao is now leading the army outside. Zhao Erha...lang has returned to the house and has no nemesis.
He couldn't restrain his excitement and ran directly to the martial arts training ground to hum and have fun.
Zhao Ma knew that his youngest son had been resentful since he was demoted from Longyou back to Jincheng.
As Zhao Guang’s mother, she knew that her youngest son had always liked women from the Huang family.
But even though the two were preparing to get married at this time, the younger son appeared happy in front of others, but he was often a little lonely behind the scenes. This shows how much the blow to him was caused by being demoted.
Today I heard from my servants that my youngest son was very happy after returning home, and even took the initiative to go to the martial arts training ground to practice martial arts.
While I was happy, I was also a little strange, so I went to the martial arts training ground to look for him.
Sure enough, I saw that my younger son was lively and shouting there.
“Did Erlang encounter a happy event today?”
Mr. Zhao said hello.
As soon as Zhao Guang saw his mother, he quickly came over to see her.
"The marriage is getting closer, and I was worried that Erlang wouldn't be able to untie the knot. Now that I see you like this, I can finally feel relieved."
Mr. Zhao Ma looked at Zhao Guang and said with relief.
Zhao Guang’s face became even more excited when he heard his mother mention the marriage: “After hearing what my mother said, I want to discuss something with my mother.”
“What’s the matter?”
Zhao Ma asked curiously.
“My child wants to get married as soon as possible, is that okay?”
Zhao Guang asked a little embarrassedly.
Zhao Ma was a little surprised when he heard this: "Why?"
“Things are a bit urgent.”
Zhao Guang rubbed his hands.
"Urgent? How urgent?" Zhao Ma was a little surprised when he heard this. What could be more urgent than getting married?
The date has been set, but my son suddenly wants to advance it. How can such a big event be changed by just changing it?
Wrong, unless it’s because…
Zhao Ma suddenly thought of a possibility, "Maybe... you are happy?"
Zhao Guang nodded repeatedly: "Happy event!"
The smile on Zhao Ma's face gradually disappeared, "How many months has it been?"
Zhao Guang clasped his fingers and said, "Although it's only been three months, I think it's long enough..."
It has been three months since I left Longyou. It does feel like a long time.
Zhao Ma's face changed. He pointed at his nose and screamed: "What do you mean it's only been three months?! Three months!"
The Huang family girl went to Longyou to look for him, didn't it take exactly three months?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao Ma confirmed her thoughts: It turned out that this **** couldn't hide it anymore, so he was anxious to get married to her in advance!
She was anxious, angry, and at the same time a little relaxed: This daughter of the Huang family had indeed been cured.
Zhao Guang, on the other hand, looked puzzled. He didn't understand why his mother suddenly became excited.
“You kid, you are really **** me off! You know how much effort I put into trying to find a good life for that Du Qiong! You, you, you…”
Seeing Zhao Guang's appearance, Mrs. Zhao Ma was so angry that she trembled, "You...since you can't help it, why don't you come back and get married as soon as possible?"
She became angrier as she spoke, hurried past him, pulled out a wooden spear from the edge of the martial arts field, pointed it at him and cursed: "Come here, let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
“Why did my mother beat me?”
Zhao Guang felt that it was really ridiculous.
In the past, when the master was at home, my mother always protected me.
Now that the master has gone outside, why did Amu take over the stick from the master?
Could it be that I, Zhao Erlang, am in conflict with this martial arts training ground?
Zhao Ma didn't care about him. He came over with a roar and cursed: "You still dare to ask? It's been three months and you didn't tell me! Do you still think of me as a mother?"
Zhao Guang turned around and wanted to run away, but Zhao Ma, who had both the Zhao family's marksmanship and the Ma family's marksmanship, directly blocked his escape route.
With a "bang" sound, Zhao Guang screamed, jumped up, and was forced to retreat into the martial arts training ground.
Although he had a wooden gun in his hand, in Zhao Ma's hand, the shadows of the gun danced out, and the wind blew, giving Zhao Guang a feeling of chill.
“Mom, if you have something to say, please tell me!”
Zhao Guang's eyesight was dazzled. He couldn't hide for a while and was hit several times on his body. The pain made him cry out.
“What’s there to say?”
Zhao Ma took another shot.
“My child is wrong, I know I am wrong, please forgive me!”
Zhao Guang really didn't know why his mother suddenly went berserk. She had to bow her head under the stick, so she had to admit her mistake first.
"Mom, if you don't want to change the time, we will get married on the date that mom said. No rush, no rush!"
After thinking about it, it seems that this is the case?
“Not in a hurry!?”
Zhao Ma was even more furious.
