Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 63 Teaching and attending funerals [Thank you for your support! Thank you! Goodbye]

Xu Zaijing quickly supported his mother with quick eyesight and hands.

On the other side, Mrs. Xie was also standing behind her mother-in-law.

Seeing the white cloth strips, Xu Zaijing was also panicked, but he quickly calmed down because the steward's face didn't look like it was anything serious.

'Not the father'

So he said next to Sun: "Don't worry, mother, something is really wrong with my father. It is impossible for the housekeeper to be so calm."

In one sentence, Mrs. Sun seemed to have emerged from the water and could finally breathe. She took a few big breaths and said, "What's wrong?"

The steward came to the second door where Sun and others were standing. The young man with a white cloth behind him also knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

"Madam, the uncle of the Zhu family in Xiangzhou is dead."

Sun was a little confused for a moment. He thought something had happened to his Marquis just now.

As a result, the steward asked whether something happened to Mr. Hou or a relative.

"Goro, help your cousin up."

"Brother Tiger, get up and let's go into the house and talk."

"Yes, aunt."

Before Sun married into the Xu family, Xu Minghua had an eldest sister who married into the Zhu family of the Founding Viscount.

The successive heads of the Zhu family were determined to carry forward the family. Most of the men in the family joined the army and made meritorious deeds, and few took the civil service route.

When the late emperor was on the throne, the children of the Zhu family had also reached the position of commander of the Tokyo Forbidden Army.

Unfortunately, the descendants of the Zhu family and the imperial concubine Xiao's family got closer and were involved in the murder of the empress at that time. Fortunately, they were not closely related, but their official positions were promoted from top to bottom, and the relationship between the military and the military was The whole dynasty was mourned.

Only a dry title of Viscount was left.

There were once emperors and courtiers, and the current emperor was the youngest son of the late empress. The Zhu family had no hope of rising.

With no backing in the court, the Zhu family declined rapidly, and the children had no future.

Later, the current emperor was magnanimous and rehabilitated many nobles who had been wronged before. Fortunately, a few years ago, he proposed to marry an eldest girl from the Yongyi Hou family. Although her education was lacking, it was still better than marrying a commoner.

Marquis Yongyi also relied on the Cao family to slowly make some progress.

The Zhu family also started walking up.

Xu Minghua joined the Western Army and established a firm foothold. He dragged the eldest brother-in-law of the Zhu family to join the Western Army. He started as a personal guard and later became a battalion commander. His son Zhu Qinghu also joined the Western Army and became a general under his father. All have heads.

Zhu Qinghu was sitting in the main hall, and through Sun's questioning, Xu Zaijing also figured out what happened.

Before, the Bai Gao Kingdom invaded Lingzhou, and all the fortresses in front were silently wiped out by the Bai Gao Kingdom.

It was Xu Zaijing's eldest uncle who discovered the enemy situation in time and sent Zhu Qinghu, the best equestrian, with a team of people to report the military situation.

He led a battalion of less than 500 soldiers and took advantage of the favorable location to block Bai Gao's army.

Six hours later.

A whole battalion of soldiers was wiped out.

Zhu Qinghu was also very capable. With five feather arrows stuck in his body, he suddenly broke out from the encirclement of Bai Gaoguo's scouts.

Out of a team of fifty robes, only seven survived.

Fortunately, the enemy was brought out.

This gave the Zhou army time to react. Xu Zaijing's uncle sacrificed his own life for military exploits. Xu Minghua also received awards from the court. After all, he was an officer promoted under the Xu family.

Because of the urgent military situation, Xu Minghua could not return to Bianjing, so he only asked Zhu Qinghu to go back to his hometown and Bianjing to report the funeral.

"Brother Tiger, is your mother okay?"

"I was fine when I came. I wasn't crying or making trouble. I was preparing to build a tomb for my father."

Mrs. Sun: "If you don't cry or make trouble, you are keeping things in your heart. Don't be negligent."

"Yes, aunt."

"There are still people in Beijing who need to report their funeral, so let your cousin Jing go there for you."

"Auntie, we only have relatives from the Houfu family in Beijing, nothing else."

"Then you can rest at home tonight, and I will return to Xiangzhou with you the day after tomorrow."

In the afternoon, Xu Zaiduan and Xu Zaizhang met Zhu Qinghu after returning to the yard.

When they heard that their familiar uncle had died, their eyes were filled with tears.

At that time, the Xu family had not yet improved, and Zhu's uncle usually brought a lot of things to them.

On the contrary, Zhu's uncle went to the Western Army before Xu Zaijing became acquainted and had less contact with him.

Zhu Qinghu stayed in the Hou Mansion that night.

Before dawn the next day, Zhu Qinghu's ears twitched and he woke up instantly.

He got up, got dressed and walked out the door, only to be awakened by the fact that his voice had traveled so far.

Zhu Qinghu, who was awakened, could not sleep anymore, so he got up and followed him.

A little light ahead. Soon Zhuqinghu saw a somewhat wide racecourse.

Two black figures were fighting back and forth on the field, which made Zhu Qinghu's heart tighten, but when he saw the maid in the distance, there was no reaction at all.

He suddenly realized that someone was doing morning exercises.

As he got closer, Zhu Qinghu saw clearly that it was his youngest cousin present.

Qingyun also discovered Zhu Qinghu, the two stopped, Qingyun bowed and said: "Young Master Biao."

"Cousin."

"Are you practicing sword and shield?"

"Yes, Master Biao."

"Come, let's have some sparring."

When Qingyun saw his young master nodding, he took off his equipment and said while taking it off

"Young Master Ciao, my young master is a bit strong, so you should be more careful."

"it is good."

Soon, Zhu Qinghu and Xu Zaijing stood on the field.

Both of them had a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and they began to slowly confront each other.

Zhu Qinghu watched Xu Zaijing's steps. When Xu Zaijing was about to lift one of his legs, Zhu Qinghu slashed at him with a knife.

when!
  The knife in Zhu Qinghu's hand was knocked out by Xu Zaijing. Zhu Qinghu's heart flashed with surprise. Qingyun was about to cheer when he saw Zhu Qinghu quickly move towards Xu Zaijing.

The moment the two shields came into contact, Zhu Qinghu's hand holding the knife moved towards Xu Zaijing.

Xu Zaijing was suddenly shocked.

Lost strength.

Qingyun was wondering why his young master didn't push the celebrating tiger away just like he did.

Zhu Qinghu gasped and said, "Brother Jing, do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Zaijing said: "If you had a sleeve arrow or lime in your hand just now, then I would be in trouble."

"On the battlefield, people are cunning and cunning. Others have many ways to harm you. Even if you trade your life for your life, they will still make money. You can't just rely on your strength to block the knife with a knife. Do you understand?"

"I know, thank you cousin."

Xu Zaijing bowed respectfully.

Just now, he should have blocked the knife with his shield, but he relied on his strength and wanted to give his cousin a small shock, but he ended up giving him a lesson.

Xu Zaijing has been sparring with Qingyun these days, always crushing him. He had crippled five men some time ago, so he didn't even notice that he was drifting off.

In addition, his groom master basically had nothing to teach him, and he had never served as a scout in a battle formation, so he naturally lacked some tricks to kill on the battlefield.

Especially the competition with the son of the Zheng family made him feel that this military general's son was nothing more than that.

During the previous Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, if the group had prepared lime, they would put the lime on first without saying anything.

Xu Zaijing had a great chance of being tricked, but those people underestimated him, and he ended up being defeated one by one.

And after Xu Zaijing goes to the battlefield, if he still looks down on others and thinks that others are just chickens and dogs, he will be the one who suffers in the end or even dies.

"I heard from my uncle that you are good at archery?"

"It's okay, cousin."

"Okay, let me take a look."

Zhu Qinghu was also the commander-in-chief of Yidu in the Western Army. Although Xu Zaijing was mentally mature, he was still a solid rookie on the ancient battlefield.

Qingyun brought over the bow, arrows and bowstring.

Xu Zaijing put on the bow string and drew the bow to aim at the target. Zhu Qinghu suddenly said: "I want the right target leg."

"collapse!"

The bowstring rang, and the arrow directly penetrated the target's foot.

"That's right! Xiao Wu, remember, remember that a chain of arrows can mobilize the enemy's shield. The first arrow to attack the enemy will save the enemy, and the second arrow will hurt or kill the enemy. When you encounter a master of shield use, you have to cooperate with him."

"Cousin, you are so awesome."

Zhu Qinghu's eyes trembled for a while, and he said softly: "This is all the experience gained with human lives."

Although the cousins ​​of the Sun family have also seen battle formations, they have not escaped death like cousin Zhu, so naturally they lack some awareness on the battlefield.

Xu Zaijing and his cousin asked a lot for advice. After a day, everyone in the Xu family was ready to set off.

The eldest daughter-in-law Xie was given the power of housekeeping, Pingmei Anmei was also left at home, and Sun left the most stable Xiaozhu to assist Xie.

Before setting off with his female envoy Xiao Dan, Sun repeatedly ordered not to go out, and then everyone rode horses and cars to attend the funeral in Xiangzhou, a few hundred miles away from Bianjing.
