Chapter 41: The Widow

Yang Ning knew that Duan Canghai was born in the army, and the aura of a soldier on this person's body was indeed obvious, including Qi Feng and Zhao Wuxian, Yang Ning could also find the shadow of a soldier from them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's just that he didn't expect that these three people were all from the Heilin camp, and they were all soldiers under the command of the third master.

"The third master and the general are both from the old marquis, so when the third master was young, like the general, he followed the old marquis to fight on the battlefield." Duan Canghai sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for that time...... Hey, today's third master must also be a generation of famous generals who move the world. ”

When Yang Ning heard this, he already had a rough understanding of the relationship between the Marquis of Jinyi and asked, "How many of you returned to the capital after that war?" ”

"After the battle between the Heilin Battalion and the Blood Lan Army, there are only a few dozen people left." Duan Canghai smiled bitterly: "But the general has always acted thoughtfully, when our Heilin Battalion was full of casualties, the backup also followed, and the Blood Lan Army was already exhausted at that time, unable to fight anymore, and escaped, so that we people could survive." ”

Yang Ning said: "Although your Heilin battalion was almost wiped out, after the first battle, the Northern Han Blood Lan Army had no combat strength, so the two counties north of Huaishui were saved. ”

Duan Canghai showed a hint of surprise, and then said: "The prince is worthy of being a general, and the key to this is immediately understood." Tilting his neck slightly, he said: "What the prince said is right, although the Heilin Camp has disappeared since then, the Blood Lan Army that the Marquis of Changling has painstakingly managed has also been greatly injured, and it is no longer able to pose a threat to us." After a pause, he continued: "The general went to the court to ask for a reward for the officers and soldiers of the Heilin Battalion who survived, most of them were sealed everywhere, but a few of us still stayed. ”

"Oh?" Yang Ningqi said: "Then why? If you have an official position, you have to stay here as a guard? ”

Duan Canghai said: "We followed the third master to conquer and kill the territory, how many times did the third master rescue us from the pile of the dead, we swore at that time that we would follow the third master to the death in this life, and we had no other ideas." Sighed: "After the death of the third master, we wanted to follow the third master, but we were dissuaded by the general, he said that since we have no intention of serving as an official, we can go to the Hou Mansion as a guard, not only to protect the Hou Mansion, but also to protect the third lady." ”

Yang Ning bowed slightly, thinking that these people were not officials, but they came to the Hou Mansion to serve as guards, and they were all good men who valued love and righteousness, and they were willing to be servants in the Hou Mansion, it should be because Qi Sanye's face was more than that of Jinyi Hou, after all, the third master's widow was still alive, and they stayed in the Hou Mansion, probably because they wanted to protect the third lady in order to repay Qi Sanye.

It is no wonder that the third lady is in charge of the Hou Mansion, she is not only the wife of the third master of Qi, but her status in the Hou Mansion is naturally not ordinary, but it is a pity that such a delicate beauty has been a pretty widow for many years.

Duan Canghai was obviously drunk and had a lot of fun, not to mention that Yang Ning asked about his glorious and sentimental past, so he poured out the events of the year as if he were talking.

As the sun set, the sky had completely darkened, and white lanterns with the word "Dian" had been lit everywhere in the Hou Mansion.

"You just said that my father died of his injuries, what is going on?" Yang Ning asked, "Is he seriously injured?" ”

"The general has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and there are many wounds on his body." Duan Canghai said: "The Jinyi Hou family has always relied on their true skills to gain glory on the battlefield, the old marquis is like this, the general is like this, and the third master is also like this, so the scars are also the glory of the Qi family's men." Originally, the general had returned to the capital to recuperate, but three years ago, the Northern Han people gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses and suddenly killed them, and the general could only leave Beijing to go, this fight was almost three years, and the general held out on the front line for three years.....! The circles under his eyes were red, "We all know in our hearts that the general's body is getting worse and worse, and the old and new injuries are added together, and the pain is unbearable, but the general knows that once he falls, Da Chu will be in danger, so he has been hiding his injuries.....!" ”

Yang Ning's expression also showed a slight respect, secretly thinking that Qi Jing was also an iron-clad man.

"Just a few months ago, the two sides finally reached a peace agreement, and the Northern Han people withdrew their troops and made a truce." Duan Canghai smiled bitterly: "Actually, why did the Northern Han people withdraw their troops, and what kind of peace agreement was reached between the two sides, I don't know, I was still thinking that as soon as the war stopped, the general could return to Beijing to recuperate and recover slowly, but ......!" Shaking his head, he said: "But who would have thought that this would be the case, the general is for Da Chu, and he is tired to death." ”

Yang Ning thought to himself that Jinyihou was still a hero in the labor mode, but saw that Duan Canghai had already stood up, "Lord Shizi, it's getting dark, let's go over first." You have come back, the third lady is fighting with the third lady for you today, and you must not live up to the third lady's wishes. ”

Yang Ning knew that listening to Duan Canghai here for a long time had indeed delayed a lot of time, since he was the son of the world, his father had passed away, and he still had to be in place in terms of face.

While the two of them were going to the mourning hall, Yang Ning asked, "Second Uncle Duan, are there many dart games in this capital?" ”

"Dart game?" Duan Canghai didn't expect Yang Ning to suddenly ask about the dart game, and he was a little puzzled, "Why did the prince ask about the dart game?" ”

Yang Ning had already thought of his rhetoric and said, "After I was taken away by that group, I once listened to them talk about the dart game in the sack. ”

Duan Canghai stopped, his expression immediately became serious, he looked around, and then asked in a low voice, "Did the prince hear them mention the dart game?" Are there still people from the Nine Heavens Tower lurking in some dart game? ”

Yang Ning said: "I don't know what is going on, they were not loud at the time, I heard them mention the dart game, and said that it was one of the best dart games in the capital, Second Uncle Duan, what are the top dart games in the capital?" ”

"There are a lot of dart games in Beijing, but if you want to say that they are one of the best, there are three dart games that are comparable." Duan Canghai thought for a moment before he said: "Changping Dart Bureau, Sihai Dart Game and Rising Sun Dart Game are the most powerful dart games in the capital, have you heard those people mention these three dart games?" ”

Yang Ning shook his head, but he was quite excited in his heart, secretly thinking that this period of Canghai was really not a vegetarian, and he knew the situation in the capital well.

He had actually met the Four Seas Dart Bureau, when he met the convoy of the Four Seas Dart Bureau in a wine shop, and it was there that he met Xiao Guang, who was chased and killed by the Cicada's secret ninja.

"Sneaking spies in the game is a means." Duan Canghai touched his thick beard and muttered to himself, thought for a while, and then said: "But it's not easy for our Hou Mansion to make a move in this matter, just go back and inform the Shenhou Mansion and let the people of the Shenhou Mansion investigate, the three dart bureaus are not easy to get along, and we don't have the energy to take care of it for the time being, just hand it over to the Shenhou Mansion." ”

"Shenhou Mansion?" Yang Ningqi said: "What is that?" ”

Duan Canghai looked a little embarrassed, this prince, if you want to say that he is confused, he speaks clearly today, and he can't see that he is confused at all, but if you want to say that he is smart, it doesn't seem like that.

He was about to explain, but he heard a voice coming over: "Brother Duan, are you here?" Can you see the third lady? ”

Yang Ning followed the sound and looked, but it was the chubby Manager Qiu who was coming over here.

"Manager Qiu!" Duan Canghai said: "Are you looking for the third lady?" ”

"yes." Manager Qiu walked over, with a kind smile on his white and chubby face, glanced at Yang Ning with small eyes, and said: "The prince has worked hard, wait a little later, the prince can leave the mourning hall and rest first, I have already discussed with Aunt Qiong, let Qi Yu guard this night, as long as it is dawn, it will be handed over to the prince." ”

"Oh?" Although Yang Ning still didn't know the details of Manager Qiu, for some reason, when he saw this person, he was disgusted, and said with a smile: "Is Qi Yu still going to rob me?" ”

Yang Ning knew that Duan Canghai was born in a martial artist, although he was also careful, but his temperament was quite upright, and he was easy to deal with, but this Manager Qiu was full of scheming at a glance, and it was definitely not easy to deal with, in front of him, he still had to be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to be seen by this person and bring him big trouble.

Yang Ning believes that so far, no one in the house should doubt his identity, but if he is not careful and there are many flaws, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

"The prince laughed." Manager Qiu smiled and said, "You are the prince of the Hou Mansion, how dare Qi Yu compete with you for something?" However, although he is a concubine, after all, he is still the blood of the Hou Ye, and he is not allowed to see people during the day, and he should be allowed to do his filial piety this night, and the most important thing is that he can keep a vigil for the prince at night, so that the prince can recuperate. There are still a lot of things to do, and if Shizi sleeps day and night, his energy will definitely not be able to keep up. ”

Yang Ning actually didn't have much interest in fighting to be a filial son, and he was powerful in the mourning hall today, also because he couldn't get used to seeing a group of people holding a group against Gu Qinghan, if Qi Yu stayed in the mourning hall for him at night, he really had no opinion.

"Brother Duan, don't take today's matter to heart." Manager Qiu looked at Duan Canghai and said with a smile: "You and I both understand the temperament of the fifth master, that's it, maybe I was too impatient today, I looked for it just now, and the third old lady said that the fifth master shouldn't treat you like that." ”

Duan Canghai said lightly: "Mr. Qiu is too careful, I don't care, and we are all subordinates, so naturally we will not worry about the master." ”

Mr. Qiu laughed and said, "This is a bit angry." But I know Brother Duan, you are broad-minded, and you will forget about this matter by tomorrow morning. He also said: "Brother Duan, as the head of the Hou Mansion, many things have to be considered from the overall situation. The son of the world guards the spirit, it is justified, naturally there is nothing to say, but we still have to take care of the overall situation, the third old lady, we can't care at all? When the matter in front of me is over, everything is easy to say, but for now, we still have to maintain the harmony of the Qi family, do you think this is the reason? ”

Duan Canghai said: "Manager Qiu, Duan Moujie's martial artist, only knows how to protect the Hou Mansion, and I shouldn't ask more about other things, in fact, I don't understand either." But what the third lady says, there will naturally be no mistake, how to take into account the overall situation, Manager Qiu and the third lady discuss it, if you want to use my place, the third lady just said a word. ”

"Who says you don't know the big picture?" A crisp and pleasant voice came from behind Yang Ning, "You swallowed your anger in the mourning hall and didn't make any mistakes, isn't that just taking the overall situation into account?" ”

Yang Ning looked back and saw Gu Qinghan floating over like a white cloud, light and delicate, with a moving charm.
