"Understood!" Hu Zongxian was overjoyed in his heart, he liked such a person who only contributed and did not want credit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, as a minister, I was embarrassed to take advantage of Luo Xin like this, so I thought about it for a while and said:

"No, my matter is over, and the two of us brothers will talk about the city."

Luo Xin's spirit was lifted, and he arched his hand towards Hu Zongxian and said, "Please give me advice." ”

Hu Zongxian waved his hand and said, "No, don't be polite." It's just that you've really fallen into troubled waters! ”

Luo Xin smiled bitterly: "I know, I don't want to wade into this troubled water, but the holy order cannot be violated!" And ......"

Luo Xin looked at Hu Zongxian with a smile and said: "Your Majesty still wants to get military expenses for you, and now the Ming officials can't send it out, hehe......"

Hu Zongxian's face showed a look of loyalty, and he also hugged his fist in the direction of the capital, and then said to Luo Xin:

"No, thank you. You don't know how much infamy my my brother is carrying now. In order to build a team capable of exterminating the Japanese invaders, I had to pay various taxes to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now there is no one in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who does not scold me. But in order to eliminate the Japanese invaders, I have to bear these infamy......"

Luo Xinzhong snorted coldly, he believed that most of the silver had fallen into Hu Zongxian's pocket, and he was just relying on the righteousness of the anti-Japanese war to accumulate wealth. Of course, most of the wealth he collected should have been given to Yan Song at that time, and Yan Song went, but he didn't expect Yan Song to fall so quickly, so that he lost his backer, and then he remembered that he raised his self-respect, and now when he heard the analysis he gave him, he was alert.

It was precisely because he knew that he could no longer loot them, and that he had to exterminate the Japanese in the shortest possible time, that he decided to hit the city.

However, Luo Xin naturally did not expose Hu Zongxian's old background, and he also had to deal with him, and a sympathetic look appeared on his face:

"Brother, there's an old saying in my hometown."

"What old saying?" Hu Zongxian's face was still sad and indignant.

"It's better to stand than to do things, it's better to stand than to watch, and it's better to see than to make trouble."

"Smack!" Hu Zongxian slapped the table and said excitedly: "Well said! ”

Luo Xin looked at Hu Zongxian sincerely and said, "Brother, I have wronged you." ”

Hu Zongxian's face was even more excited, and he actually reached out and grabbed Luo Xin's hand and said, "No, you are the only one in the world who understands me." Don't worry, if there is anything in the city, as long as the old brother can help, I can help you. ”

Luo Xin also appropriately stretched out his other hand and put it on Hu Zongxian's hand, and his face also showed excitement:

"Brother, with your support, you will have the courage to do so. Now there is a little thing that I would like to ask you to help me with. ”

Hu Zongxian's heart sank, he was so excited that he was just pretending, but he didn't expect Luo Xin to climb up with a pole, so he had to say:

"You say!"

"It's about the garrison in Hangzhou, my eldest brother has not been to the southeast for a long time, I'm afraid that my eldest brother doesn't know much about the southeast, so I think in addition to my eldest brother, I want an army for my brother."

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly and said, "But the Holy Lord's will is only to give you an army." ”

"Then merge the two armies into one."

"Who do you want?"

"Qi Jiguang!" Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "My eldest brother is only in the fifth grade, and Qi Jiguang is now in the third grade." This army is dominated by Qi Jiguang, supplemented by my eldest brother. ”

Hu Zongxian thought about it for a while, Qi Jiguang has just turned forty years old now, and he has already emerged on the battlefield, although he has not yet become Hu Zongxian's right-hand man, but he has also revealed his talent, Hu Zongxian is very reluctant to hand over Qi Jiguang to Luo Xin. However, he was not good at saving Luo Xin's face, and after thinking about it, although Qi Jiguang was important, it was indispensable, so he nodded and said:

"Good! No, you will stay in Suzhou for two days, and then let your eldest brother and Qi Jiguang accompany you to Hangzhou. ”

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said: "I'd better go to Hangzhou as soon as possible, there are many things waiting for me to start dealing with." When the time comes, brother, you will let my eldest brother and Qi Jiguang go directly to Hangzhou to find me. ”

"It's good!"

Luo Xin said goodbye to Hu Zongxian and returned to the post station, and left Suzhou the next day and went straight to Hangzhou. Before noon, the group entered Hangzhou. Luo Xin went directly to Hangzhou Yamen to meet the prefect of Hangzhou, Song Danian. The prefect of Hangzhou also knew what Luo Xin was here for, so he was also polite to Luo Xin, and personally took Luo Xin to an independent yamen that occupied a large area, and informed Luo Xin that this piece would be assigned to the city shipping department.

Luo Xin looked around, although it was a little shabby, but it was still usable. This is a three-entry layout, Luo Xin took the third house as his own residence, the second as his office, and the first as the office of the city. Then he summoned the officials of the city department.

Luo Xin simply met with those officials, and he didn't know the background of these people, so he naturally couldn't reuse them, so he asked them to find someone to clean up the city.

The day after Luo Xin arrived in Hangzhou, Luo Qing hurried over. When he saw Luo Xin, he excitedly came up and gave Luo Xin a fierce hug. Luo Xin's mood was also very excited, and the two brothers finally struggled together again. After hugging his eldest brother, Luo Xin's eyes looked at his cousin Luo Sheng who was standing aside. Luo Sheng's expression was full of respect, he knew in his heart that he and Luo Xin and Luo Qing were not as close as other cousins, this was because his grandfather wanted to cut off Luo Qing's arm, and his father Luo Ye not only did not dissuade him, but also supported the result, and finally drove his cousin's family out.

Since that day, there has been a gap between the two families, especially Luo Xin, who is very estranged from Luo Sheng's family. Originally, there was nothing, but no one thought that after Luo Xin's family was kicked out, life became more and more prosperous, and Luo Xin was even more amazing, he became the champion, and he also became the military god of the Ming generation, and he was a first-class marquis. This made Luo Sheng a little afraid of Luo Xin from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Luo Sheng's somewhat awe-inspiring look, Luo Xin's face showed an affectionate smile. At this time, Luo Xin is no longer the Luo Xin of the past, standing tall, he can see far, and he has already let go of some things in the past.

Not to mention......

He knows very well in his heart that there are three gangs of a hero. In this feudal society, it is a society with many families, and it is impossible to carry forward the family, but just a lonely struggle, and will eventually disappear in the long river of history. Therefore, Luo Xin also went up and gave Luo Sheng a fierce hug.

Luo Sheng's heart was excited, and until the three brothers sat down, Luo Sheng's heart was still excited. He knew Luo Xin's hug, which meant that Luo Xin no longer held a grudge against the original incident, and the estrangement between the two families had dissipated, which made him respect Luo Xin even more from the bottom of his heart.

Luo Xin immediately ordered a banquet to be held for Luo Qing and Luo Sheng to wash the dust, but was stopped by Luo Qing and said:

"Little brother, go to the eldest brother's house."

"Home?" Luo Xin's expression was stunned: "You don't live in the barracks?" ”

Luo Qing's face was a little embarrassed, and he glanced at Luo Sheng, and Luo Sheng's face was also a little embarrassed. Looking at the expressions of the two people, Luo Xin asked curiously:

"What's going on?"

"That...... The two of us live in Suzhou, so naturally we won't live in the barracks. And ......"

Seeing Luo Qing's appearance, and then thinking of the "home" he said just now, Luo Xin's heart moved, and he looked at Luo Qing and said:

"Big brother, have you taken a concubine?"

Luo Qing nodded awkwardly, and Luo Xin looked at Luo Sheng again: "Cousin, you also took a concubine?" ”

Luo Sheng also nodded embarrassedly, Luo Xin's expression was stunned again, thinking that Luo Qing and Luo Sheng were both honest children, why did they go out for a few years like this?

However, Luo Xin didn't take it too seriously, he has now integrated into this society and knows that in this social environment, it is not a matter for a man to take a concubine. Especially Luo Qing and Luo Sheng are far away from the family, and their wives are not by their side, so they smiled and said:

"Can't hold it back?"

The faces of Luo Qing and Luo Sheng turned red as soon as they spoke, and they lowered their heads and stopped talking. Luo Xin stood up and said:

"It's not a big deal to take a concubine, let's go, take me to see the two sisters-in-law."

Luo Qing and Luo Sheng's faces were happy, and they hurriedly stood up, and the three of them walked out of the gate and walked down the street. Luo Qing still asked with some concern:

"Little brother, father he ......"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Father wishes you would take a few more concubines, give him a few more grandchildren, and spread the branches." Then he glanced at Luo Sheng again and said, "Uncle too." ”

The two brothers let out a long breath, but Luo Sheng was still a little worried on his face. Luo Xin said:

"Worried about my sister-in-law?"

"Yes!" Luo Sheng nodded honestly, and Luo Qing on the side also said: "Little brother, I'm also worried that your sister-in-law will make trouble with me, you can think of a way for me." ”

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "That's a matter of the two of you, don't come to me." ”

After the words fell, he saw a gouache shop next to the street, so he walked in and bought two rouge gouaches. When Luo Qing and Luo Sheng saw it, they knew that Luo Xin had bought it for their concubine, so they said:

"Little brother, it's just a concubine, don't be so polite."

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Let's go, it's not good to be empty-handed when we meet for the first time." ”

came to a door, looked at the small courtyard in front of him, Luo Xin said: "Whose home is this?" ”

"The two of us, this yard is not small, Xiuzhi and Xiuyun live together and are also companions." Luo Qing stepped forward to call the door, and Luo Sheng on the side said:

"Xiuzhi and Xiuyun are sisters."

Luo Xin looked stunned for a moment, and then said, "They have been living here?" ”

"Hmm!" Luo Sheng said: "The two of them are originally from Hangzhou, and Hangzhou and Suzhou are not far away, so they are placed here." ”

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps inside, and then I saw the courtyard door open, and two women appeared in the door, Luo Xin looked over, and saw two women with medium appearance, but delicate and soft, the eyes of the two women fell on Luo Xin's body at once, and then squatted down and said:

"This is the uncle, the slave family has seen the uncle."

Luo Xin handed the gift in his hand to the two women, and after the two women thanked them, they led the way in front and walked inside.

The three of them soon entered the lobby, and after the two women saluted again, they went into the kitchen to cook. Luo Xin looked at the eldest brother and cousin who were a little cramped and said:

"Why didn't you buy two maids?"

Luo Qing said: "They don't like it!" ”

Luo Xin nodded, it seems that the two women are diligent and thrifty housekeepers. Not a man who loves vanity and pleasure.

At this time, the two women walked in in turn, first bringing tea to the three of them, and then bringing fruit and pastries, and then retreated.

Hearing the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen, Luo Xin smiled: "The two sisters-in-law are virtuous people. ”

Luo Qing and Luo Sheng nodded, smiles on their faces. Luo Xin won't care about this kind of thing when the eldest brother and cousin take concubines, these are all trivial things. Putting this matter aside, he looked at Luo Qing and Luo Shengdao:

"How many soldiers did you two bring?"

"Two thousand!" Luo Qing raised two fingers.

"Not five thousand?" Luo Xin's expression was stunned, when he was in the Governor's Palace, he remembered that Hu Zongxian had said that it was 5,000 soldiers. Luo Qing smiled and said:

"General Qi still has 3,000 soldiers, and his garrison is far away, so it is estimated that he will be able to come to Hangzhou tomorrow."

Luo Xin nodded, he was not worried about Qi Jiguang's soldiers, it must be a strong army, but he was worried about the soldiers under his eldest brother, so he asked seriously:

"Big brother, how are your 2,000 soldiers?"

"Strong Army!" Luo Qing straightened his chest.

Luo Xin's spirit was lifted: "How does it compare with Qi Jiguang's soldiers?" ”

"Not weaker than them."

"Good!"

Luo Xin was overjoyed, he believed the words of the eldest brother, because the eldest brother had never lied in front of Luo Xin. Thinking about the eldest brother's ability, it shouldn't be bad. And in fact, in Luo Xin's opinion, the level of leading troops of the eldest brother is not weaker than Qi Jiguang at all, and it should surpass Qi Jiguang. Because a long time ago, Luo Xin handed over Qi Jiguang's set to the eldest brother. With the eldest brother, Luo Sheng, and Qi Jiguang, plus five thousand elite soldiers, Luo Xin felt that he could sit back and relax.

"Little brother, tomorrow I will send two hundred elite soldiers to protect you." Luo Qing said seriously.

Luo Xin nodded, but did not refuse. Since experiencing two assassinations, Luo Xin has not dared to be careless. It is impossible for a person to be vigilant all the time, so he needs to be guarded. Luo Xin didn't want to die yet.

Luo Xin's three brothers talked about it, Luo Xin told the eldest brother and cousin about the family affairs, while Luo Qing and Luo Sheng introduced the situation in the southeast to Luo Xin in detail.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and I saw two women carrying trays with dishes on them, and soon a table was filled, and the two women bowed and withdrew. The three brothers began to drink and talk.

"Little brother, now that you have married Dai'er home, do you want to take a concubine?" Luo Qing looked at Luo Xindao.

Luo Xin smiled and said, "Do you two think that if I also take a concubine, you two can go home with confidence?" ”
