Chapter 54
Under the city of Shexian County, banners and flags were flying, and Chongzhou troops were deployed layer by layer.

In front of the formation, Hu Chengliang in armor sat on the back of a horse, his face sinking like water.

On the big day, the guests gathered, but the bride was snatched away by force. Such a shame and humiliation, he must ask the old thief Xiao Hu to get it back!

Thinking of the seventh son who is sometimes awake and sometimes asleep on the sick bed, he can't wait to tear that guy Xiao Yuandu to pieces!
Shexian County, as the outer gateway of Binzhou, has built a high wall and thick walls, and there are trenches around it for protection.

The Chongzhou army shouted for a long time, no matter how harsh the scolding was, they just closed the gates of the city and did not come out.

Just when Hu Chengliang was about to order to attack the city, the city gate suddenly opened.

With neither elite cavalry nor generals, Xiao Hu went out of the city alone with his back on his shoulders.

"This--"

Hu Chengliang's lieutenants glanced at each other, and all looked at the lord.

Hu Chengliang was also taken aback, as if he didn't expect Xiao Hu to be so willing to spend money.

"Brother! Brother Chengliang!" Xiao Hu opened his throat from a distance, his voice was like a bell, "Xiao Hu has no way to teach his son, I can't help you, and I'm here to make an apology for you!!"

After all, in front of the formation, the two armies actually knelt down on one knee and saluted Hu Chengliang.

The atmosphere that was still tense just now was suddenly silenced by this incident.

Regardless of whether Xiao Hu was genuine or fake, it was enough to give Hu Chengliang face.

Hu Chengliang had no choice but to suppress his anger, and said coldly: "Xiao Cishi is trying to put me in a position of disloyalty? No one can stand such a gift from you except the Son of Heaven, so let's get up and talk."

Xiao Hu got up according to his words, and did not forget to swear: "The heavens can learn from it, Xiao is extremely ashamed and regretful, what he did today comes from the bottom of his heart!"

"Hmph! Why bother talking nonsense, just hand over the person."

What he wants is not only the bride, but also Xiao Yuandu.

"This..." Xiao Hu showed embarrassment, "Brother Cheng Liang! We have all been young before, and we all know that young people are young...the two of them have achieved good things now, if they send them back, wouldn't it be an intentional humiliation—— "

"Zhu Zi'an dare!" Hu Chengliang was furious, his face was distorted, and his expression was extremely terrifying, "Where is Xiao Yuandu?!"

Xiao Hu also looked annoyed, and said angrily: "I have already broken the leg of that scoundrel, and now he is lying on the bed paralyzed, otherwise he will be arrested and come to apologize to you, brother."

Hu Chengliang gritted his teeth and was so angry that his beard and hair were like steel needles: "Xiao Hu, you have a good idea! You are neither willing to return the bride nor tie up the culprit. Just do it? Dreaming!"

"Brother Hu, brother Hu, just listen to me."

Xiao Hu had a serious and reasonable tone.

"Although the evil son is wrong, it is our custom in the north to rob marriage. Although he has messed up a bit, but the huge Huatong City, with so many guards, let him take the bride out, isn't it even more wrong? You can take him down that night, behead him or kill him, I have nothing to say! It’s been a few days now, and the uncooked rice has been cooked, and it’s time to settle the accounts. Isn’t it a bit, haha, making people laugh? Ordinary people I still know that I am willing to gamble and admit defeat, so why not make the mistake—"

"Wrong is wrong? To put it lightly, it's not your son-in-law who was robbed!"

Xiao Hu said solemnly: "On the day when the six and seven sons get married, if you want to, brother, you can come and grab it!"

"You!" Hu Chengliang didn't expect him to be so shameless, his face was livid.

Not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore, he drew his sword, pointed it at Xiao Hu, and sneered: "Don't talk too much! Since you came to the door today, I will behead you first, and then cut Xiao Yuandu alive! "

"My lord, don't!" The lieutenant reminded in a low voice, "Xiao Hu tied his hands in front of the battle, and in the name of pleading guilty, beheading him like this, I'm afraid he will be ridiculed by the world."

Xiao Hu was fearless, and even pretended to be about to die.

"If you can dispel the anger in your heart, brother, why should Xiao die? You can take the head on the neck! But," he paused, "the smoke from the Northern Lands has just been extinguished. It led to the loss of life. Brother, you don’t think about anything else, and you don’t think about the people of Chongzhou? As far as I know, Liangzhou has always been ready to move, and they are eyeing you in Chongzhou.”

Hu Chengliang snorted: "Those old neighbors of yours are not peaceful either."

"That's not true! If we two fight, the loved ones will hurt the enemy quickly, and who will benefit at that time?"

Hu Chengliang was silent.

If he hadn't thought of this level, he would have leveled She County long ago.

In fact, he has deeper concerns.

Although Xiao Hu is a talented person, his vision is short-sighted. All he thinks about is to be the overlord in Binzhou, not a big threat.

Hu Chengliang also knew that the imperial court wanted to use him to check and balance himself, and he didn't want to break this balance at the moment, lest Mu Xiu be in trouble with Lin.

Otherwise, if the Xiao family falls, his family will be the only one in the Northland. At that time, the imperial court may use the power of the whole country to punish him. If other military towns take the opportunity to join forces...

But this breath is really hard to swallow!
Xiao Hu saw that his expression had loosened, and he chanted and beat again, and the sound of his voice was not to mention very affectionate.

It was only at the end that he said that he had sent people to Jingling to make a statement and plead guilty by the way.

He made a full-fledged gesture of hitting and punishing, but the result was that he was the first to strike first.Plead guilty?I'm afraid the wicked will sue first!
Hu Chengliang had a mouthful of old blood choked in his throat, he had to bear the loss of being dumb, and led his troops back.

After returning to Chongzhou, he immediately sent [-] miles to rush to wait for the ruling from Jingling.
-
When the news reached Jingling, the court was shocked.

Even the queen never expected it.She asked Jiang Fosang to marry her instead, not only because of Jiang Fosang's intelligence, but also because she wanted to be a beauty trick.

Unexpectedly, this beauty is actually a disaster. Not long after arriving in Chongzhou, the Hu and Xiao families almost tear their skins apart!
It's a pity that I couldn't fight...

Fortunately, there was no fight.

As a barrier for the Northland, once there is chaos between the two of them, the Northland will become a mess, and the Northland will definitely take advantage of the vacancy...

The time has not yet come.

Even so, it was a surprise for the royal family that Xiao Hu's family formed a bridge, and the benefits were far greater than Queen Lian's original expectation.

But superficial efforts still have to be done.

So the emperor came forward and severely reprimanded Xiao Hu. In the name of not being strict in teaching his son, he cut off two counties in his territory, fined him 500,000, and ordered Xiao Yuandu to serve on the spot for one year.

Another marriage is to be given to Hu Changheng.

Hu Chengliang declined on the grounds that his son's viscera were in danger after being stimulated.

The imperial court gave Hu Changheng the title of Wanning County male, and gave him many other rewards as a token of comfort.

But what does more comfort do?

Hu Changheng woke up again and learned that the final result turned out to be that his wife was transferred to Xiao Yuandu.

Thinking of the slender figure standing in front of him without hesitation in the Qinglu, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell into a coma again.

Her mother, Lu Shi, was heartbroken, and cried to find Hu Chengliang: "I don't care about all your schemes and big schemes. If you give the bride to the Xiao family, you can give it to the Xiao family. Now the concubine only wants my son to live!"

Why does Hu Chengliang not want his son to be kind?But for some reason, the Hu family seemed to be cursed, and many of their sons were sick and ill, and many of them died young.

Lu wept and said: "A few years ago, Master Cihang passed by Huatong and said that our Changheng was destined for Buddhism, and you drove them away in a rage. Now good doctors everywhere are helpless. Go to Izumo Temple, maybe there is still a glimmer of life."

Hu Chengliang didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, so he decided that the old monk was talking nonsense and expelled him.

But when people are in a desperate situation, they would rather believe that they have it.

"Well, according to what you said, send Chang Heng to Izumo Temple."

The shame of Chang Heng, the shame of the Hu family, one day he will take it back with his own hands.

The time, wait for the time.
