"Help!"
Tang Shujing rushed out of the small courtyard where Tang Shuwan lived independently and ran wildly on the road, shouting for help while running.
"I don't want to call him brother-in-law, no, no!"
She had not foreseen this problem before. That annoying guy, that guy who always regarded himself as her brother in front of her, would become her...brother-in-law in the near future!
She is about to become that annoying sister-in-law. No matter how much she jumps around, she will always be a little shorter in terms of seniority and will never get ahead!
This made her chest tight and she always felt like she couldn't get out of her breath.
If I had known this, I should have broken up the marriage just now... However, now that the matter has come to this, we have already made an alliance, and this marriage cannot be changed.
Remembering that she had been worried about this marriage just now, she wanted to slap herself twice.
boom!
Suddenly, Tang Shujing, who was upset while running, bumped into someone. She stopped immediately and retracted her strength in time, otherwise the person who was hit would fly more than ten feet away.
Who is this?
Dare you stand in her way on the road?
She was already irritable, and after being blocked by someone, her bad temper suddenly came out.
However, when she raised her eyes and saw the person who was hit, her expression suddenly changed, and her frosty face turned into a bright smile. She jumped back two steps and shouted with a smile:
"Dad! Why is it you!"
"..."
That's right, the person she hit was Tang Ju.
Tang Ju had just returned from seeing Su Xian off. Unexpectedly, he was hit by someone while walking on the road. That person was an unfilial daughter who had always been unruly in his eyes——
Tang Shujing!
Tang Ju was so angry that the beard on his chin stood up, his mouth trembled, and he glared and reprimanded:
"What are you doing, running rampant? Fortunately, the distinguished guest has left, otherwise..."
"Dad, my mother just called her daughter to come over. You should be busy first. My daughter is leaving now..." Before Tang Ju could finish scolding, Tang Shujing's soles seemed to have been oiled, and in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.
"You..." Tang Ju was furious. This unfilial daughter always made him feel like she had punched cotton.
"Eh!"
Finally, he sighed and walked to the study. He wanted to write a letter of divorce and report today's events to his family.
But before he reached the study room, Tang Ju sighed again. After Tang Shuwan got married, she became a member of the Su family, and Tang Shujing was the scourge——
I probably can't get married.
If she stays at home for a long time, Tang Ju will be pissed off by this rebellious girl sooner or later!
Thinking of the sad future, Tang Ju sighed again.
…
The other side.
It is said that after Su Xian and his party left the Tang family, they took a carriage and returned the same way.
The carriage was relatively stable, and Su Xian was sitting in it with his eyes closed and meditating. He was thinking about the trip to the Tang family just now, and how he would get along with Liu Huixiang and Tang Shuwan in the future.
Having two wives who are like gods seems like a wonderful thing at first glance. Who doesn’t want the blessing of being together?
But... Su Xian also had a headache. He was always worried about favoring one over the other and neglecting someone. He was even more afraid that the two women would become jealous and make the house restless.
Suddenly, just when Su Xian was thinking, "Liu Huixiang and Tang Shuwan started fighting, tearing each other's clothes off, leading to a happy couple," the carriage suddenly stopped.
Um?
what happened?
It was too sudden.
Su Xian turned forward slightly, opened the curtain and saw that two men who looked like beggars were blocking the carriage. The two men's hair was messy and their faces were covered.
Roadblock and robbery?
interesting!
Su Xian watched with interest. He was protected by Yang Zhilan, and these two guys deserved to be unlucky.
Sure enough, Yang Zhilan, who was riding a horse, jumped off the horse and walked over directly. Judging from her posture, she was going to show off her skills today.
But the next moment, Su Xian's smile froze slightly, because as soon as Yang Zhilan approached the two beggars, she stepped back without making a move.
what's the situation?
When Su Xian was wondering, one of the beggars pushed away his hair that was hammered on his face, revealing a steady face with a Chinese character.
This face... Su Xian stared at it for a long time and felt that it looked very familiar. Although this person's face was dirty, the outline was too obvious——
That's Yan Dashan!
Su Xian looked at the other beggar, and sure enough, he was a thousand-faced fox.
The two of them finally returned from Liao Kingdom!
…
Two quarters of an hour later.
Fan Yanghou Mansion.
Flower Hall.
Su Xian, Yan Dashan and Qianmian Hu, who had taken a shower and freshened up, sat around a table and drank some wine.
Yan Dashan and Qianmianhu had already learned about Su Xian's being conferred the title of Marquis of Fanyang County. They toasted to congratulate each other, especially Yan Dashan, who said bluntly:
"Young Master should have been granted the title of Marquis a long time ago, but Your Majesty was too slow."
Su Xian was naturally very polite and said with a smile that the two of them contributed more to the chaos in Liao this time, but in the end, he was made a marquis, and he felt really sorry.
Yan Dashan and Qianmian Hu were also very polite and said with a smile that there are many people who can sneak into the Liao Kingdom to complete the mission, but the only person who can come up with such a clever plan to stabilize the country is Su Xian, so Su Xian deserves the greatest credit... …
In this way, the three of them talked to each other in business.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Then, Yan Dashan and Qian Mianhu talked about their experiences of the Liao Kingdom. Su Xian listened carefully, and from their few words, his understanding of the Liao Kingdom was deepened...
After a while, the three of them were already drunk, and the banquet was about to end.
Thousand-faced Fox stood up unsteadily and said inarticulately: "Brother Su, Brother Yan, the wine has been finished. It's time for me to leave for Beijing. That bad old man may be scolding me secretly."
Su Xian also stood up, looked at him swaying, and said in astonishment: "The second arrester is already drunk, why not stay at the house for one night, and it won't be too late to set off tomorrow."
"No, no, no."
Thousand-faced Fox waved his hand, turned around and walked outside, saying: "You can see the world with your drunken eyes, you don't have to worry..."
Su Xian had no choice but to arrange for someone to send Thousand Faced Fox on the road and personally take him out of the city.
Su Xian was very considerate and found him a rickety old man, paired with an old donkey, pulling a broken cart filled with hay and huge wine jars.
Thousand-faced Fox was very satisfied.
Before leaving, Qian-faced Fox said to Su Xian: "I'll wait for you in Shendu. Then I'll take you to the Prison Department. After all, you are now the head catcher of my Prison Department."
"Okay!" Su Xian agreed.
"..."
After sending off the Thousand Faced Fox, Yan Dashan couldn't stop and said he would help Su Xian train a strong personal army.
Su Xian was already a third-rank founding county magistrate. According to court regulations, he could raise five hundred soldiers in the palace. However, Su Xian's contribution to the title of marquis was too great. The Queen granted additional permission, and Su Xian could raise a thousand soldiers.
In the afternoon of that day, Su Xian and Yan Dashan dealt with the matter of personal soldiers. The candidates were all recruited from the nearby garrison, and a hundred people were initially selected.
Why not recruit more people?
Because Su Xian finally realized the reason why Princess Lanling said his mansion was too small. With more than a hundred soldiers, there was no room for it.
