Sima Zong, the king of Nanton, sat on the top seat, his face was calm, thick bags had accumulated under his eyelids, and his hair was faintly gray, showing obvious old age, and he looked like he was overstrained. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info sat below him, on the right was the prince Sima Xuan, and on the left was a burly man with a fierce head.

"Haiyan doesn't want to see you, is it because you didn't make your intentions clear, or is there something offensive between your words and you don't know it?"

Hearing his son talk about visiting the princess's mansion, Shen Zhezi avoided it, and King Nanton pondered for a long time before asking.

Sima Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "My father already knows the purpose of this trip to me, how dare my son offend." has enough courtesy, but he was sent out outside the court, and he has never seen a person in his family who has the slightest power! ”

Hearing this, King Nanton's eyes suddenly became gloomy: "This raccoon dog is becoming more and more arrogant, if it is not my family's daughter to him, with this martial arts tyrant, how can he have any hope in the capital!" But he was outside the court, so he really thought I wouldn't dare to attack his family! ”

The bearded man sneered, and then said with compassion: "Why should the king be angry, but with an order, I will lead people to attack his house lightly, and the blood will be spilled in the court gate, and no men or women will be left!" ”

Hearing this, Sima Xuan, the prince of Nanton, frowned slightly, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the side. This head of the Han named Peng Hui, originally a first-class person in the north, because of the repeated violations of taboos in the dock wall was punished, his people entangled a group of murderers, taking advantage of the siege of the Hu to make a mess to sacrifice the door, and later along the river to loot, forced by the east and west of the river, can only devote himself to the palace of the king of Nanton, is a real outlaw.

Sima Xuan did not agree with the Quartet of Nanton King Quartet for recruiting such chivalrous outlaws, believing that such people were difficult to restrain and the law was intolerable, and even if they gathered under the court gate for a while, they would have no loyalty at all, and it was useless.

King Nanton glanced at the benevolent and cowardly state of the prince with some displeasure, and then turned to look at the murderer Peng Hui and said with a smile: "With Peng Lang and other strong warriors for my use, why worry about that raccoon dog." It's a pity to kill it, but it's still more useful to keep it. ”

When Peng Hui heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Now the whole city knows that the Shen family is the richest, and there is the Nanyuan that is full of guests every day, and the name of the daughter is by no means vain.

After devoting himself to the palace of Nanton, he was treated with courtesy, and Peng Hui was already full of confidence in his heart, and he was always calculating how to rob the home of the wealthy head of Jiangdong. But hearing that King Nanton did not agree, this Peng Hui did not dare to be obsessive, he was just brave and lucky, even if he was courteous, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of King Nanton.

"The Shen family must not be moved lightly, if there is a big event in the future, he still needs his family to echo in Wuzhong."

Although he was so despised by Shen Zhezi, thinking of the plot in the future, King Nanton could only endure it for the time being. The Shen family's current momentum is far from being guessed by a reckless puppet like Peng Hui, but King Nanton knows it. Although Liyang has a lot of communication with him, if he really wants to achieve great things, he still needs the support of a powerful martial sect like the Shen family, which is deeply rooted in Wuzhong.

The reason why I wanted to let the prince go to visit this time was because of a person who has a strong storm in the south. King Nanton also overheard the housekeeper say that his family actually had some entanglement with that Jingzhao Duhe, and the discerning people knew that this Duhe was supported by the Shen family, so King Nanton planned to use this matter to communicate with the Shen family, but he didn't expect to be treated so unkindly.

After pondering for a long time, after all, the resentment in his heart could not be eliminated, and the king of Nanton said hatefully: "This raccoon dog thinks that I have nothing to do with him? Hmph, since his family treats that poor man well, I want to make his family lose face! ”

"Later, Peng Lang led people to capture that Jingzhao Duhe and all his attachés, and a mere Nandu man dared to touch my family's things! I want to let the capital know what the background color of the Shen family's courteous Guanzhong virtuous is it! ”

Similar to Du He's overseas Chinese who crossed south alone, King Nanton didn't pay much attention to it, and he wouldn't delve too deeply into such a trivial matter as stealing trees, even if he took care of his identity. If the Shen family is willing to respond politely, it is okay to laugh it off, but now, he does not plan to give up, he wants to ruin Na Duhe's reputation, and he wants to make Shen Zhezi disgraced!

When Sima Sui heard this, he hesitated a little, and said in a deep voice: "Father, although that person is a newcomer, after all, he is also from the old surname of Guanzhong, or he is in trouble for a while, so it is really not appropriate to delve too deeply to hurt the hearts ......of the soldiers."

"Shut up!"

When King Nanton heard this, he suddenly changed his complexion: "Now that everyone is insulted to the face, how can you ever scruple to hurt my heart!" I just want everyone in the capital to see clearly, whoever harms me will be rewarded! What is the prestige of being benevolent and cowardly in everything? With your shallow eyes, you can't do some things well, and you dare to teach me how to do things? ”

Seeing King Nanton reprimanding his son in front of him, Peng Hui was also stunned in his heart, he really didn't look down on this weak son, and he didn't expect King Nanton's tiger father to give birth to a dog. After a little emotion, he hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the king, you will go immediately, and you will capture all the thieves who steal the wood!" ”

——————

In Du's house in Changganli, Du He personally led the ox cart into the court door with the reins of the ox, and then said respectfully: "Sister-in-law, we are home." ”

A delicate little girl poked her head out of the bullock cart, and when she saw this wide courtyard, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "What a big house! Sixth Father, can my mother and I really live here? ”

Du He stepped forward to help the little girl out of the car, and said with a smile: "This is our home, Ah Ling naturally wants to live here!" ”

The little girl was just changing her teeth, she opened her mouth and smiled to reveal the opening of her front teeth, and after a while, she came to her senses, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, but her bright eyes looked around, obviously excited and curious.

Mrs. Du Pei also got out of the car later, and when she saw the grand layout of this courtyard, her eyes also appeared with surprise: "Haiyan Man's shot is really magnificent, such a large courtyard, which is a little wider than when my husband was alive." Uncle, how can you take such a generous gift lightly......"

Hearing this, Du He said respectfully: "Sister-in-law Mingjian, He is not a person who indulges in material pleasures, especially since he went south after the catastrophe, all he thinks about is how to repeat my family's old hopes. If I am alone, I can cover my head with tiles, but how can I bear my sister-in-law and Ah Ling to live in poverty, so that my brother will not be able to rest in peace! ”

After Pei Shi heard this, he was also slightly moved, and after a long silence, he whispered: "The sages have teaching, think about what to pay first, and then think about what to receive." My family has a deep reputation, and my uncle inherits this origin, so it is advisable to take a long look at it, and don't give in for a moment to provoke more discussion in the future. Pengmen Huaju, peace of mind. ”

Du He bowed his head and listened to Pei's teachings. In fact, he has been thinking about what Pei said for a long time. In fact, with the favor of the Shen family, not only the mansion in front of him, Shen Zhezi helped him become famous in the capital, and this kindness was many times heavier than the mansion.

After being tempered by the world, Duch is no longer an innocent boy, and naturally knows that there are not too many gifts in the world for no reason. Especially since Nandu, even many old people in the past have been cold and alienated from him, and the Shen family is the only one who has such a good treat, and Du He also knows that this appreciation is not simple.

With the long-term immersion in the capital, Du He also has an understanding of the position and situation of the Shen family in the current situation, and the more he knows, the more he will inevitably be surprised in his heart. Although his family is new to the south, but the heritage is profound, the wealth of the family is only a hint, and the strong rural hope of its deep roots in the countryside of Wuzhong is really eye-catching.

With such a deep rural heritage, and the family of the emperor's relatives ruling Wuzhongfang Town, it can be said that no matter who the ruler is, he must treat the Shen family more kindly, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the situation.

Thinking about it from a different place, Du He considered himself as a substitute for Shen Zhezi's situation, and in terms of the Shen family's current family background, there was really no urgent need to support him, a newcomer to the north. Unless, his family plans to go further, break the barrier between the north and the south, and use the southerners to beat the overseas Chinese to leap into the ruling position!

Since the southern crossing, he has been coldly regarded by overseas Chinese, but he has been simply pulled out by a southerner when he is poor. To be honest, the distinction between north and south in Du He's heart is not very clear, and there is no resistance from ordinary northerners to the Shen family's plan. Especially Shen Zhezi treated him so kindly, Du He hoped from the bottom of his heart that this young man could achieve his long-cherished wish and was happy to use it.

But now that he hears his sister-in-law Pei mention this section, Du He still can't be indifferent in his heart. Recently, he has made a name for himself in the capital, and he has gradually resumed his relationship with the old ones. At the beginning of the name, it was indeed strongly promoted by the Shen family, but the reason why it was able to receive miraculous results also had a lot to do with the origin of his own overseas Chinese surname.

Therefore, recently, there have been many people mentioning the defense of the north and the south in his ears, warning him not to get too close to the Shen family. This inevitably planted many seeds of contradictions in Du He's heart, on the one hand, he must not live up to the kindness of the Shen family, and on the other hand, he must not ignore the views of those overseas Chinese and old friends. Striking a balance between the two is also extremely difficult for Duch.

Although he has not yet faced the choice of choosing one of the two, every time he thinks of this section, Du He's heart is a little anxious and even indignant. Now that the situation in the north is like this, the country has languished to the point of succumbing to Jiangdong, these people don't think about how to defend the land and protect the land, and they are still thinking about the defense of the north and the south, which is really angry!

With these considerations in mind, Du He did not want to add to his sister-in-law's worries, so he relieved himself a little, and busily settled his sister-in-law and niece at home. But because there are not too many ladies in the house, and the maids who are used have not yet been prepared, Pei has only come to see once, moved some furniture, and then returned to the old residence with the little girl, and will officially move in the next day.

After nightfall, Duch had just rested, and was half asleep, when he suddenly heard the sound of restless noise in the courtyard. He was startled in his heart, and hurriedly turned over and got up and went out with his sword in his clothes, even though he saw a faint fire flickering in the backyard.

"Rokuro, there's an enemy attacking!"
