Soon after, when Shi Wengong led Zeng Tu, who looked unwilling, back to the stronghold, he turned to look at the Liangshan army horses that had retreated after chasing him halfway. He shook his head in disappointment, looked at Zeng Tu who was breathing unevenly, and frowned: "What are you doing today?" what happened??"
"It's okay," Zeng Tu shook his head.
"It's okay, you went crazy and fought against the two Liangshan generals. If I hadn't been worried and chased them out today, you would have been trapped in them," Shi Wengong said angrily.
When Zeng Tu heard this, he felt a little guilty and said, "I made the teacher worried."
After looking at it, Shi Wengong said seriously: "No matter what happens, we must wait until the Liangshan bandits are defeated first. Do you understand?"
"clear"
As Shi Wengong shook his head and walked away, Zeng Tu glanced behind him and gritted his teeth and growled: "Song Jiang, I swear to capture you alive."
About dusk, in a dirty firewood shed in the Zeng Mansion, I saw a pretty and cold woman dressed in white, but the red marks on her cheeks had not disappeared, and she seemed to have been beaten. Among them, a cute-looking maid next to her said anxiously: "Miss, why are you talking nonsense? I grew up with you. When did you know Song Jiang, let alone have an affair with him? You are like this, How can I spare you!!"
It was Zeng Tu's wife, Xu Youzhen, the second daughter of the Xu family in Lingzhou.
"I didn't say it, it was him who believed it. His heart had long been taken away by those concubines."
"My heart is in Shandong and I am in Wu, and the floating rivers and seas are moaning. He always seems to be in the clouds, and he dares to laugh at Huang Chao for not being a husband!" After Xu Youzhen murmured, her expression showed bitterness and despair.
"Miss", when the maid heard this, she felt even more distressed and began to cry. The lady wrote this anti-poetry of Song Jiang not to admire Song Jiang, but to ask the master to send someone to Lingzhou and hand it over to the magistrate of Lingzhou. , let him understand how serious Song Jiang's intention to rebel is, even Huang Chao disdains him, and asks the court for reinforcements as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood by his uncle.
In the final analysis, the marriage between the two was a mistake from the beginning. Although the Zeng family was powerful, it was not a good match for the Xu family. Zeng Tu was from the Jin country, despised culture and advocated violence. No matter how much the young lady sacrificed, in Zeng Tu's eyes, They were all pretentious and looked down upon him.
"Everything is my own fault. My grandmother said when I got married that words, appearance, and martial arts can only arouse temporary feelings. Only when the family status is the same and the family background is complementary can the marriage be long-lasting. If you marry high, your heart will be broken. If you are timid and live a hard life, if you are low-spirited, your ambitions are different, and if you are not speculative, even if you are affectionate, it will not last long. All these things are because I did not take her words to heart." Xu Youzhen said guiltily,
"Miss, now that I think about it, Fourth Miss was right. My uncle is not a good match at all. Your encounter with him was all too coincidental, too coincidental," the maid said angrily.
"The fourth sister may seem mediocre, but she is actually the smartest among the sisters in my Xu family. She has a true heart and a thunderous heart. She can be said to have mastered her grandmother's inner house knowledge, and she even understands the current situation. , she could see clearly. Half a month ago, she said that Song Jiang had a heroic heart and was a treacherous hero, far beyond the comparison of Chao Gai who was ignored. He would definitely come to take revenge. His father was old and weak, and his husband When my brother is impulsive and arrogant, he is no match for me. Let me return to Lingzhou as soon as possible because of my grandmother's illness. If I really don't want to give up, I will send Song Jiang's counter-poem in the name of the Zeng family. Her future will definitely be better than mine. Good," Xu Youzhen said in admiration.
"Miss, after this time, let's just go back!!" the maid said.
"I can't go back." Xu Youzhen smiled bitterly.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a young servant rushed in.
The sad maid looked at it and said in surprise: "Brother Zeng??"
"Xiao Tao, are you okay!!" The visitor immediately ran to the maid and said anxiously.
Xu Tao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes were moved and she said: "I'm fine, but why are you here?"
"I have deceived the guards. This time, the eldest son is not joking. Come with me, leave Zengtou City immediately and go back to Lingzhou first!!" Zeng San said anxiously.
"Miss" Xu Tao immediately turned around and asked.
After Xu Youzhen looked at it, she said with relief on her face: "Zeng San, it's very valuable that you have such a heart for Xiao Tao. You two have the same interests, which is a rare marriage. You can take Xiao Tao away!!"
"lady"
"Miss"
The two were shocked.
"If I go back like this, it will definitely damage the reputation of the Xu family, and it is not allowed by etiquette. Since I have married into the Zeng family, I have no way out."
"Then, I won't leave either," Xu Tao said immediately.
"You have to leave, not only because of me, but also because Zengtou City may not be able to be defended. If you stay here, once the stronghold is broken, I'm afraid you will be insulted by the Liangshan bandits, and Zeng San will not end well."
"Miss," Xu Tao said reluctantly.
"Go to Lingzhou and find my fourth sister. She will definitely make arrangements for you." Xu Youzhen took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and said, "This should be enough for you to start a small business!!"
"Miss!!" Xu Tao cried.
"No time, let's go!!"
When Zeng San pulled the struggling Xiao Tao away in a hurry, Xu Youzhen slowly closed the door and looked resolutely at the beams on the woodshed, "Fourth sister, help me take care of my mother!!"
Not long after, Zeng Tu was guarding the camp. He was drinking alone. His eyes were red and he gritted his teeth and said: "Bitch, when I defeat Song Jiang, I will definitely not let you go. All the clean houses are hiding filth." A dirty person."
"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master" At this time, a servant came in in a panic, fell to the ground, and then cried and knelt down and said: "Eldest Young Master, madam, madam..."
Zeng Tu was stunned and said angrily: "What happened to her??"
"The lady committed suicide"
As the servant spoke in pain, Zeng Tu trembled all over, his vision blurred for a while, and he immediately rushed over angrily, grabbed him, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!!"
"It's true. Madam committed suicide in the woodshed. When she was found, her body was already cold. My Majesty asked you to go back quickly."
"Impossible, impossible." Zeng Tu's face turned pale, and he immediately rushed out anxiously, got on his horse, and galloped towards Zeng's mansion.
The Water Margin is full of destitute wives and daughters, and it is indeed impossible to forget the heroic women of the Song Dynasty.
When Zeng Tu kept running, as night fell, he finally returned to the outside of the house. He just stepped into the lobby in a panic, and at a glance he saw the man lying on a straw mat, with an obvious red mark on his neck, and he was already closed. Looking at Xu Youzhen, his whole body was shocked, and all the strength in his body seemed to disappear in an instant, and his body couldn't help but kneel down.
"You rebellious son, what have you done??" Zeng Nong, who was pale-faced, asked angrily in the hall. He had just taught him a lesson a few days ago. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen now that the enemy is facing him. Could it be that Did God want to destroy his Zeng family? ?
