Dou Bobi also came to persuade him, and Xiong Tong let Fei Wuchang go. Fei Wuchang knew that Xiong Tong was not to be trifled with and his life would be in danger if he did not do so, so he did not dare to return to the inn. As soon as he reached the city, he hurried back to the capital of Chu.
Soon, the news of Xiong Tong and Dou Bobi's success in opening up Pudi and pacifying Xingxi reached the capital of Chu, and the civil and military officials of the court went to the palace to celebrate. Although Fei Wuchang was sent to send Jin Biao to summon Xiong and Dou back to Danyang last time, he did not want them to stay in Xingxi on the grounds that they would not accept the emperor's orders. Xiong Suan was annoyed for several days and decided to send another one. Dao Jinpi recalled the two men for severe punishment. Not wanting them to achieve such great achievements, he had to order them to teach as a teacher and reward them for their merits after returning to the court.
In the evening of that day, Dou Bobi came to Xiong Tong's residence to discuss the matter of tutoring: "Second Young Master, tomorrow is an auspicious day. Do you want to tutor?"
Xiong Tongtong: "Since the monarch has an order, let's set off at noon tomorrow. But the people guarding Xingxi don't know who to send?"
Dou Bobi said: "The general thought it would be more appropriate to let Yu Qi stay. First of all, Yu Qi is brave and resourceful, so I can rest assured that I will hand over Xing Xi to him. Furthermore, his ancestors were originally farmers, and they are very familiar with farming." , He has experience in opening up mountains and forests. Also, wasn’t he a Dou slave of the Prince Xiong Zhu’s family before he went on the expedition? If he goes back, Xiong Zhu will definitely not let him go. Let him stay, so that he can avoid Xiong Zhu…”
Xiong Tongtong: "What Uncle Wang said makes more sense. This general also has this intention..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Qi suddenly stepped in. It turned out that when the two were discussing who would stay behind in the tent, Yu Qi happened to be outside the tent.
When he heard that he was asked to stay in Xingxi, Yu Qi quickly stepped into the tent, knelt down on the ground, and said repeatedly: "Thank you two generals for your support. I don't understand the kindness of the two generals... It's just that, the two generals He is the savior of the general. From the day he was rescued, the general made up his mind to be a slave to the two generals for the rest of his life. Besides, the general is a warrior, so how can he take on such an important task? It is better to ask the two generals to appoint someone else!"
Dou Bobi said: "General Yu, please don't say that. General Mi saved you out of kindness. Bobi asked you to join the army because he thought you were a talented person. Guarding Xingxi has a heavy responsibility. You are bold, careful, brave and resourceful. You are the most important person." If you are the right candidate, don’t refuse anymore!”
Xiong Tong also said: "General Yu, get up quickly!"
Yu Qi said: "General Dou Yu and Qiang Dou are versatile in both civil and military affairs, and he is from a noble family, so let him stay... If the two generals don't agree, Yu Qi will kneel down and die here..."
Xiong Tongjian said, turning his attention to Dou Bobi. Dou Bobi thought about it again and again, and said: "Dou Yuqiang is still young, how can Bobi feel comfortable with such a big responsibility? When Dr. Qu handed over the young general Qu Zhong to us, it was just to train him, why not let him How about he stay?”
Xiong Tongtong: "Okay, let Qu Zhong stay! There is one more thing. Miss Mo Xiang came to see me just now. Miss Mo Xiang has contributed a lot to this expedition. There is a folk saying: A graceful lady, a gentleman is a good man. . Miss Mo Xiang is both civilized and martial, and as beautiful as a flower. She is a rare woman in the world, and she is a perfect match for you, Uncle Bi Wang. I want to be a matchmaker for you two, but what does Uncle Bi Wang want?"
Dou Bobi said: "Thank you very much, Second Young Master, for your kindness. It's just that my mother has to make the final decision on marriage matters. Besides, Miss Mo Xiang is from Pu, and Pu people are not allowed to marry foreigners. Miss Mo Xiang is a good girl. , but Bai Pu initially decided that it would be troublesome to cause Pu people’s dissatisfaction over this matter... Let’s discuss this matter later!”
When Dou Bobi left Xiong Tong's residence, it was already dark and he had to come back alone. When they reached a corner, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the darkness and a knife struck his face. Doubi hurriedly dodged to avoid it. The black shadow didn't let Doubi have a chance to breathe, and struck him with his backhand. Dou Bobi jumped over the black shadow's head and kicked him on the back of the head, causing his Samadhi to burst into flames. At this time, a group of soldiers on night patrol heard the noise and came over to capture the black shadow. Dou Bobi stepped forward and saw that it was Wu Dan. He asked in confusion: "General Wu Dan, why is this?"
Wu Shan said angrily: "You yourself know...what's wrong with you, Miss Axiang? But you treat her like that. I'm going to kill you, this heartless and unintentional heartless man!"
It turned out that when Xiong Tong and Dou Bobi were discussing their marriage, Mo Xiang was eavesdropping outside the tent. Mo Xiang was deeply in love with Dou Bobi, and Xiong Tong wanted to be a matchmaker for them, but Dou Bobi didn't accept the offer. She ran back to the station crying at that time. Wu Shan saw her eyes were red and hurriedly asked what happened. Mo Xiang immediately threw herself into Wu Shan's arms and cried loudly, and then cried out about Dou Bobi's rejection of the marriage. Upon hearing this, Wu Shan became furious and said, "Don't be sad, Sister Axiang, I will go and seek justice for you right away!" After saying that, he ignored Mo Xiang's obstruction and came to assassinate Dou Bobi.
Dou Bobi ordered Wu Shan to be let go and said in a pleasant tone: "General Wu Shan, doesn't the Pu clan's rules stipulate that Pu people are not allowed to marry foreigners? It's not that Dou has no feelings, Dou must respect the aristocratic clan rules... ...Don’t you also like Miss Mo Xiang? Why don’t you propose to her?”
Wu Shan said in frustration: "If I hadn't liked Miss Axiang, I wouldn't have gone out with her... I like her, but she, she doesn't like me..."
Dou Bobi patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Emotions are cultivated slowly. As long as you can treat her sincerely, Miss Mo Xiang will naturally accept you..."
A few days later, the troops arrived at Mojiazhai. Leaders Mo He and Elder Tanxu led the tribe to eat pots of juice outside the stronghold to reward the Chu army. They also welcomed Xiong Tong and Dou Bobi into the stronghold and treated them well. After seeing the two off, Mo He had just returned to his residence when he saw his eldest daughter Mo Xiang stepping in. After the ceremony, Mo He said lovingly: "Daughter, I have become darker and thinner. I must have suffered a lot during this expedition!"
Mo Xiang said: "Abba..." and threw herself into Mo He's arms and began to cry.
Mo He patted her back gently and said with concern: "Daughter, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Tell Abba, and Abba will definitely seek justice for you!"
Mo Xiang wiped away his tears and said angrily: "It's not that Doubi!"
Mo He couldn't help being startled when he saw this, and then asked: "You are talking about Mr. Dou? What's wrong with him?"
Mo Xiang said: "He, he, he... hates it!"
Mo He had guessed something from his daughter's words and deeds, and said deliberately: "Is he bullying my daughter? Well, as a father, I will send someone to call him and let him go through the ring of fire and the mountain of knives. How about punishing him severely and venting this bad breath on my daughter's behalf? Someone..."
Mo Xiang thought that his father was serious about it, so he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute... Abba, my daughter doesn't mean this..."
Mo He said: "Oh, I understand, father. You have fallen in love with Mr. Dou, right? However, there is a rule in Baipu. Pu people, regardless of gender, cannot intermarry with foreigners. It's not like you don't know this. ...You are not only a good young man, but you two grew up together in the village. Dad can tell that this young man likes you so much..."
Mo Xiang didn't wait for her father to finish what he said, and quickly interrupted him: "Abba, please stop talking. Now Bai Pu and Chu people have become one. Although there are rules in the ancestors, the intermarriage between Pu and Chu is now over." It happens all the time...Don't you often say that some old stereotypes in the past should be changed? How long will it take if we don't change them now?"
Mo He said: "Is this why you came to see my father?"
Mo Xiang said: "When you mention this, my daughter is just talking casually. What does it have to do with your daughter whether you change or not?" After saying this, the circles under his eyes suddenly turned red again.
Mo He wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard a "dong dong" sound of footsteps, and in a blink of an eye two people came in, it was the youngest daughter Mo Xian and the Chu army general Dou Yuqiang. It turned out that during the days when the Chu army was marching westward, Mo Xian leaned against the door of the village and looked at each other every day. When the Chu army returned in triumph, Mo Xian immediately searched for Dou Yuqiang throughout the Chu camp. Dou Yuqiang, who was promoted to Yajiang, was very busy in the camp at this time. After Mo Xian entered, he punched him in the face and said dissatisfiedly: "Dou Yuqiang, you have no conscience. After I beat you and leave, I will be there in a day." I've been worried about you all night. You won't go to see other people when you come back..." As he said that, he started crying and threw himself into his arms. Seeing this, the soldiers retreated knowingly.
Seeing Dou Yuqiang's embarrassment, Mo Xian looked at him affectionately, giggled again, grabbed his hand and pulled it out. Dou Yuqiang hurriedly took his hand away and asked: "My good sister, where do you want me to go?"
Mo Xian said, "You'll know when you get there!" Then she dragged Dou Yuqiang to her father Mo He's residence.
