As soon as Xu Miaojin arrived, Lu Siliang's house was completely occupied.
Xu Miaojin's identity is shown here, and he brings with him more than one to two hundred followers, maids, wives, cooks, and guards. The house was filled inside and out, and it still seemed cramped.
Others will naturally have no choice but to move out. Fortunately, the new Yamen has been built, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to move.
Even Xu Qin moved away. Wei Chu's wife was originally Xu Miaojin's bodyguard, so when the second young lady came, she naturally had to go over and protect her personally.
Wei Chu was finally liberated, and his eyes could be described as hungry. Unfortunately, Xu Qin was a full man and didn't know that an hungry man was hungry. What's more, he also has four or five cute little maids who are eager to see him.
Naturally, he didn't have time to drink flower wine with Wei Chu. Fortunately, Wei Chu also knew Tong Xuepu, a libertine, so he took Lu Siliang and the three of them went to drink flower wine.
Xu Miaojin came here because Xu Qin slaughtered three thousand Japanese pirates in one battle. Xu Huizu wanted to come in person, but he couldn't move, so he entrusted his sister to come and see?
Xu Qin wrote a thick book to Zhu Di, and the news to his family was very calm, as if there was no need to say it.
He himself thought so too, but Xu Huizu could not rest assured. It just so happened that spring was blooming and Xu Miaojin wanted to come out and move around. So I took Su Mingquan down the river and came here.
"You told your family that it was so easy, but it turned out to be so dangerous? Is this the house they raided?" Xu Miaojin asked, standing in front of the door, looking at Lu Siliang's house.
"Now that I think about it, it was indeed a dangerous day. It was truly blessed by our ancestors. If I had been lazy that morning, I might have been caught by Dai Dehai."
Xu Qin was really scared when he thought about it now. If he is caught, it's hard to say how this battle will turn out.
"After all, there is a good result. You have finally knocked back the prestige of my Xu family. In addition, you know that this Haifan Division is a treasure trove of gold and silver. You didn't look at the faces of those people..."
Xu Miaojin sneered and shook his head. Those who left the Duke of Wei, those who took refuge in the Duke of Ning, and even those who secretly added insult to injury.
All of them looked at each other and wanted to find a job in Haifansi.
"Haifan Division is short of people, but it's not just anyone who wants to come." Xu Qin said calmly.
The Xu family was in dire straits and there was no trace of you, but you came back just as things started to improve, and you still wanted to continue enjoying the shade under the tree of the Xu family. It was a beautiful thought.
Xu Qin's indifference sounded powerful in Xu Miaojin's ears. Su Mingquan sat sideways and secretly looked at Xu Qin with his eyes after hearing this.
I had known that this young master was keeping a low profile, but I still underestimated the depth of his ambition. Haifansi's victory surprised her.
When she heard that three thousand Japanese pirates were killed in one battle, she could not calm down the excitement in her heart for a long time. She felt that the Dai family would definitely be destroyed in his hands. He and his sister's hope is him.
Because in front of such people, all the little tricks at the price are so petty and cannot be put on the stage.
Now the Dai family has lost its fleet, and there is no foreign aid at sea like Japanese pirates. The only strength he could rely on was money and the official connections he had accumulated over decades.
The latter is the most unreliable. Is the young father-in-law about to take action?
"When will you attack the Dai family?" Xu Miaojin finally asked this question, and Su Mingquan subconsciously looked at Xu Qin.
Sure enough, Xu Qin was also looking at her, and their eyes met in the air. Su Mingquan's face turned slightly red and he nodded slightly. It's a courtesy.
Then he looked at Xu Qin again, but Xu Qin had already shifted his gaze, with a faint smile on his face.
Su Mingquan's heart skipped a beat because she couldn't figure out what this little man was thinking. But according to a woman's intuition, it must be a magnificent plan. The Dai family is just an ant in this plan.
She suddenly felt curious.
Su Mingquan felt more and more that, peeling off this little man's bohemian appearance, he must be a wonderful world inside.
It is simply more tempting than an elegant riddle, tempting myself to guess and explore, but it seems to be an endless abyss. There are always unexpected surprises.
She listened to Xu Miaojin's questions, expecting Xu Qin to give some answers or hints, and then she would be able to guess a little bit of his grand plan.
Peeling away bit by bit, using wisdom to collide with secrets, this is her favorite feeling.
"The Dai family is an ally of our Xu family. How could I attack an ally? Auntie, please don't tell me anything."
Xu Qin was smiling, his attitude was perfect and perfunctory, but Su Mingquan was like a thunder blow.
Su Mingquan was stunned on the spot after hearing this. She did not expect this answer. She shivered inexplicably, as if there was a wall in front of her, cutting off everything between her and the little man.
The surroundings were suddenly enveloped in a cold and heartless tomb.
He told me, Su Mingquan told himself in his heart, because he knew that I was a spy of the Dai family and he didn't trust me.
This answer was like ice water, extinguishing all the fire in her heart.
This feeling of being doubted by him was like a cold knife piercing her fragile heart. She felt so much pain that she felt like she was being torn apart.
Su Mingquan's limbs were cold and his eyes were red. A great grievance broke out. She wanted to explain, but the words were frozen in her throat and she didn't know what to say.
Tears burst into her eyes. This kind of aggrieved and unspeakable sadness made her, who was good at controlling her emotions, completely lose control.
No, Su Mingquan, you can't cry, you can't cry for a man. Why are you so irrational? Take it back...
Su Mingquan kept warning himself deep in his heart, but he couldn't control it at all.
"Stop talking to me like an official. Mingquan's sister is being held captive by the Dai family. Please resolve this matter first," Xu Miaojin said.
After speaking, he glanced at Su Mingquan and couldn't help but be shocked.
"What's wrong with you? Mingquan, don't scare me..." She had never seen Su Mingquan look like this.
Xu Miaojin has always known Su Mingquan to be rational, intelligent, knowledgeable, measured in doing things, well-informed, far-sighted, and open-minded.
Not to mention crying, it was rare to even be angry. She was always so calm. It seemed that the only people in the world she cared about were her sister and herself.
She had never seen Su Mingquan like this before, and her heart was lifted hard. She felt so heartbroken that she wanted to hold her to comfort her, and she wanted to bear everything for her.
Xu Qin was also stunned for a moment, but he thought this was Su Mingquan's self-performance, just to gain sympathy.
So his face became even colder.
"Mrs. Su, I can't ask for your sister. You must know the reason." Xu Qin said coldly.
Su Mingquan glanced at Xu Qin, his eyes filled with resentment that could freeze the Yangtze River. As if she had no words left to say, she tried hard to contain her trembling.
Xu Miaojin held her in his arms desperately, pressing Su Mingquan's elegant and smooth face against her plump chest.
"Thank you... thank you... no... I know... the danger... young master... you... me... slave family..."
Su Mingquan burst into tears. She herself was at a loss, lying in Xu Miaojin's arms and crying uncontrollably.
Some things come out of nowhere.
Xu Qin was also a little confused, but he and Su Mingquan reached a consensus on this matter.
Since the Dai family uses her sister to control her, Xu Qin cannot directly ask for this sister.
Because once he opens his mouth, the Dai family is likely to realize that Su Mingquan is going to lose control, and then this sister may not come back.
They can tell Xu Qin that this sister is dead, or that this sister is not here.
Just find any excuse and delay for a while. This sister is probably in danger. Su Mingquan will also be in a dilemma.
Xu Qin was driven out of the house by Xu Miaojin, and saw Qi Dakeng chatting with Bai Pu outside.
"Young Master, I'm here to ask for your kindness." Bai Pu tried his best to put on a smile and said.
"How many times have I told you, don't smile at me because it will make you have nightmares. It's all about grace that your family talks about." Xu Qin said casually.
His casual attitude made Bai Pu very excited, and Qi Dakeng was even more satisfied. There is nothing more gratifying than a sentence from his family.
Qi Dakeng thought that he would never have the chance to go to the battlefield again in his life, but who knew that the young master quietly killed three thousand Japanese pirates.
When he heard the news, he slapped himself several times. When the battle started, he was floating on the sea.
Not long ago, when the Enshe Market was opened, he and a group of old brothers were arrested and went out to sea to help run the business.
He didn't hear about this feat until he came back. He had never dreamed of returning to the battlefield, so he came here. No matter what, seize the next opportunity.
"Young Master, I want to fight, I want to go to the battlefield. There are four thousand-household offices under Haifan Division, so there will always be a shortage of people. You can be a top soldier."
Qi Dakeng said excitedly.
"What a big deal, do you know how to use a firecracker?" Xu Qin asked.
"That's not true. I'm good at meteor hammers." Qi Dakeng smiled, revealing two rows of big yellow teeth.
"Then learn it again. Fire guns are not that difficult. From now on, the soldiers of the Haifan Division will be the same as the Shenji Battalion, only using fire guns. What was your previous official position?" Xu Qin asked directly. He can arrange everything for people with grades six or below.
"Back to the young master, I used to be a general bannerman." Qi Dakeng said while rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Then go and work for a hundred households, but don't hold back on training. Although it is the imperial army, I will lead it after all. I won't be polite if you hold me back."
Xu Qin patted his shoulder and said.
The words were not explained clearly, but Bai Pu and Qi Dakeng both understood. The army belongs to the imperial court, isn't it their own territory? You can't embarrass your young master.
"Young Master, many old brothers are good soldiers who have fought for the rest of their lives..." Bai Pu received a look from Qi Dakeng at this time and immediately said the rest of his words.
“Everyone goes to report to Xu Hao, and our family members must be taken care of first in the future.
I just need to remember one thing, don't hold me back just because you are from the Xu family. I count on this army to fight. If you want to make money for your retirement, don't go to the army. I have plenty of local arrangements. "
Xu Qin tapped Bai Pu's chest with his fan and looked at Qi Dakeng. Apparently he realized that these two people were just pioneers.
But what can be done? When the Xu family was in trouble, these people didn't betray even if they didn't have enough food to eat. Now that I am short of people, who will I take care of if I don’t take care of them?
And these people are absolutely loyal, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. But he also said ugly things first.
When Xu Qin left, Qi Dakeng and Bai Pu almost hugged each other excitedly. They didn't expect the young master to be so happy. There would be a day when those old brothers would get together again.
"Let me tell you, the fire gun is much simpler than the meteor hammer... Young Master, you..."
Bai Pu was talking nonsense with Qi Dakeng when he discovered that Xu Qin was back.
