162.Chapter 162: Zhang Ling's thoughts

The midday sun was exceptionally bright.

Chen Xu stood next to the corpse of the crimson snake, and under the sunlight, his entire body seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light, making it more and more mysterious and majestic.

looked at the strange big snake, looked at the two unbelievable sarcomas on the snake's head, and then listened to the shouts of everyone in the air.

For a while, even Chen Xu was a little confused.

Was this a coincidence, or was it really predestined?

Chen Xu, who came from later generations, received atheistic education since he was a child and believed in science, naturally did not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods before.

But how can he explain that his soul traveled to this dynasty?

There are too many unexplainable things in the world, and if there are doubts, there will naturally be speculations.

Even Chen Xu, who received a scientific education, did not dare to deliberately blaspheme the gods after he came to the Han Dynasty for some reason.

Zhao Yun also knelt on the ground, secretly looking at Chen Xu's expression with his spare eyes. When he saw that his lord was also puzzled, his heart trembled suddenly.

"Could it be that the lord is really the son of Huang Tian?"

Even if he is as brave as Zhao Yun, after facing something beyond ordinary imagination, he can't help but feel inexplicable awe of Chen Xu.

Throwing away the long sword in his hand, Chen Xu strode to Chen's father, helped him up, and said, "Uncle, as Xu's elder, how can he bow down to me?" ”

……

After Chen Xu led everyone to take the body of the red snake back to the cottage, the entire cottage was boiling.

When Tian Feng and Cheng Yu heard about this, they didn't dare to slack off. They came to the corpse of the great serpent, looked at it for a long time, looked at each other, and saw joy in each other's eyes.

After this incident, Chen Xu felt that everyone was even more in awe of him.

The eyes of everyone looking at him also became extremely fanatical. Even in the past, the Yellow Turban Army faced Zhang Jiao, and they never had this kind of fanaticism.

At Cheng Yu's suggestion, Chen Xu found the best tailor in the cottage and made a red belt with the snakeskin of the big snake.

The appearance of this big snake made Chen Xu feel a trace of awe of ghosts and gods. He suddenly remembered that he had been in Puyang City, the adjutant who had died for him.

"Wu Lie, if you hadn't led the crowd to defect at that time, maybe I, Chen Xu, would have died in Puyang a long time ago."

Thinking of what happened at that time, and remembering Wu Lie's generous suicide in order not to affect everyone, Chen Xu felt that his eyes were a little sour.

He just did what he could, and even treated the soldiers with some hypocrisy. But what he got was the loyalty of the soldiers.

What he got was too heavy compared to the untraceable effort.

"Wu Lie, Wu Di."

Chen Xu whispered the names of the two, thinking of the withdrawn young man who blocked an arrow for him.

Until now, he didn't know what other relatives Wu Di had.

Chen Xu just promoted him as his own personal soldier, but when the young man was in danger, he actually stepped forward without hesitation.

Chen Xu strolled out of the door and came to the back mountain, looking at the graves one after another, the more heavy his heart felt.

Since the Yellow Turban Army settled down on Xufu Mountain, Chen Xu sent people to move all the bones of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang.

Not only that, but the Yellow Turban soldiers who died on the battlefield were also buried by him on this piece of land, allowing them to be accompanied by the three generals of the Yellow Turban Army.

Respectfully saluting the deceased, Chen Xu walked between the graves, looking at the tombstones that had not even left their names, he didn't say a word.

Suddenly, Chen Xu saw a trace of green smoke drifting not far away. He looked around and saw an old woman with a child, paying respects to the dead by the grave.

"Isn't that Wu Lie's mother and son?"

After Wu Lie killed himself, the officers and soldiers of Puyang defected, and Chen Xu attacked Puyang. Before leaving, he took Wu Lie's old mother and young son with him.

At the beginning, the two followed Chen Qing and others to Mount Tai together, and Chen Xu also specially explained to Chen Qing and asked him to take good care of the two of them for himself.

Later, due to the continuous battles, Chen Xu's impression of these two people became weaker and weaker.

It wasn't until Chen Jing took Mount Tai and the others to Xufu Mountain that Chen Xu began to take care of the two of them personally. But due to his busy schedule, the number of times he went to Wu Lie's mother and young son's house became less and less.

"Hello, Xiaoshi, have you also come to see Wu Lie?" Chen Xu strode over to the two of them and shouted loudly.

The old woman raised her head and saw Chen Xu, with a hint of joy on her face.

Then, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly pulled the little boy beside her, and was about to kneel down to salute Chen Xu.

Seeing this, Chen Xu was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward to support the old woman, and said, "Isn't it tormenting me if you act like this?" ”

The old woman was supported by Chen Xu, how could she kneel?

Her wrinkled face, showing a hint of trepidation, said, "I'm an old woman, I don't understand anything. But listening to others, Da Lang killed the red dragon and was the son of Huang Tian. ”

"Although Da Lang treats my ancestors and grandchildren well, I also know that this etiquette cannot be abolished."

Chen Xu didn't expect that because of his killing of the red snake, it would bring so many changes in the cottage.

Usually when he went to Wu Lie's mother's house, this old woman had always regarded him as her own son, and she had never had such restraint.

But after hearing about Chen Xu's deeds of killing the red dragon, she invisibly began to have a look of awe for Chen Xu.

Thinking about the cause and effect, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He picked up the ignorant little stone with his left hand, took the old woman's arm with his right hand, and said: "Ah Lie died for me, I once said that I will treat my mother like my own mother, and treat the little stone like a parent." ”

"No matter what kind of identity I have, I just need to know that I am your junior."

Chen Xu's face and words were full of sincerity.

When the old woman heard Chen Xu's words, she couldn't help wiping away her tears and said, "Although I lost a son who was not angry, I was treated so well by Da Lang, I really feel that God is too good to me." ”

Although she said that her son was not angry, she couldn't hide the grief and longing on her face.

Faced with a mother who lost her son, Chen Xu didn't know how to comfort her.

After the old woman's mood calmed down, Chen Xu said to her: "Xiao Shi is still young now, when he is a few years older, I will find him another gentleman and let Xiao Shi practice literature and martial arts." ”

"In the future, I will definitely train Xiaoshi to become a talent."

The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and her only concern and only thought now was this precious grandson.

Although his son died for Chen Xu, now his grandparents and grandchildren are living very well.

But there will always be a time when the favor will be repaid, if their grandson can't become a talent, their Wu family will not be able to accept relief for a lifetime in the future.

After sending the old woman and Xiaoshi home, Chen Xu came to Chen Hu's house.

Because Chen Hu and Dian Wei were relatively big people, Chen Xu did not send the two out to lead a cottage, but stayed on Xufu Mountain to train soldiers.

Dian Wei's wife and children are now also picked up in the mountains, and this reckless man always stays at home in his spare time to accompany his wife and children.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard of Chen Hu's house, Chen Xu heard the laughter of several women.

Without thinking about it, Chen Xu knew who it was.

Since Chen Xu married Liu, Zhang Ling, Zhao Yu, Chen's mother, Liu, and Dian Wei's wife Li have often stayed together.

Originally, Zhang Ling was a very quiet woman, but she also knew that Chen Hu's parents treated their belovers very well. In order to get closer to the second elder, she often came to Chen Hu's house and talked with several daughters.

Especially when she saw Zhao Yu and saw that this girl was a little interested in her beloved, she walked around Chen's mother even more diligently.

Because Zhang Jiaocai died not long ago, for the sake of filial piety, she has never had sex with Chen Xuyuan.

But in this era, 'there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great', and now Chen Xu is twenty-two. For men, it is already a very big thing to have no children at this age.

Moreover, Chen Xu is still the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, and the people and soldiers under his account add up to hundreds of thousands.

In this way, whether Chen Xu has an heir or not is not only a matter for him alone, but also related to the stability of this group.

Zhang Ling knew that his lover valued Zhao Yu's brother, and if Zhao Yun said goodbye to his sister, his lover would never refuse. Since ancient times, there have been many marriages between those in power and their subordinates.

Although she is not a jealous woman, she still attaches great importance to respect and humility, elders and children.

As the daughter of a great sage and a good teacher, she is Chen Xu's wife. She not only has to ensure her status in Chen Xu's mind; I also want to ensure that I can give birth to a son for Chen Xu first.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of 'standing up for the long but not for the young, and for the heirs not to be young'.

Only when Zhang Ling gives birth to a son as soon as possible will her and her son's status be unbreakable.

But the death of her father Zhang Jiao, coupled with Chen Xu's lack of force. So until now, she has never had sex with Chen Xuyuan.

"Sister Ling'er, what are you thinking?"

Several women were chatting about topics they were interested in, and Zhao Yu couldn't help blinking her eyes when she saw Zhang Ling's absent-minded appearance, and asked out loud.

Hearing Zhao Yu's inquiry, remembering her messy thoughts just now, Zhang Ling's face couldn't help but blush.

Zhao Yuhu looked at Zhang Ling suspiciously, and suddenly said, "Sister Ling'er, is she thinking about your beloved?" ”

was pierced by someone, and Zhang Ling's face was even redder, as if she was about to drip blood.

She glared at Zhao Yu and said, "Little girl, what are you thinking?" ”

Because the two are of similar age, they can talk very well. After staying together for a long time, they often make some jokes.

Chen's mother also said at this time: "Ling'er has to work hard with Wen Zhao, and strive to give birth to a son and a half daughter for him as soon as possible, so that his parents underground can relax as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Ling still blushed and nodded slightly, but there was a trace of worry in her heart.
