Chapter 163 Veterans gather together
Time passed slowly in the busyness, and it was the end of summer in a blink of an eye.
After half a month of hard work and actions, Song Xi finally succeeded in secretly arresting all the traitors.
After the incident was completed, they quickly evacuated, and the Feng Group secret guards responsible for stationing in Xiliang also immediately moved their positions.
By the time Duke Lu discovered what had happened, Song Xi and his party had already escaped without a trace.
Because of Bai Lang's help, the return journey became extremely smooth. Everyone took the elixir and disguised themselves as haste, and returned to Yanzhou in less than six days.
Song Xi's trip not only successfully captured three key rebel generals, but also brought back Xiong Jianlin, who pretended to be disabled and took the opportunity to disband and resign.
The group of people entered the villa after a long journey, preparing to take a short rest before attending the reception dinner carefully prepared by Yu Yalan.
"Ouch! That's amazing! This place is the legendary Penglai Wonderland, isn't it? You boy is really talented! Not only did you marry a beautiful wife who looks like a fairy, but you also built such a beautiful and mysterious villa, where you can start a family and start a business.
Perfect, I envy my old bear!"
Xiong Jianlin followed Song Xi and others on a tour. He was dazzled by all the novelties in the villa. If he hadn't been burdened with so many heavy responsibilities, he would have really wanted to return home and stay here to retire.
Song Xi was also a little proud when he heard this. His Lan'er was naturally the best woman in the world.
It's just that I haven't planned to get married yet, so it seems a bit rash to call her daughter-in-law.
"Uncle Xiong, I haven't gotten married yet. I won't start planning the wedding until the filial piety period is over. Then I invite you to be a witness and have a wedding drink."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jianlin's eyes widened and he slapped Song Xi's head with his rough palm.
"You brat! You kidnapped a girl to your home before she got married. I asked her why she didn't have her hair tied up in a bun, and you guys haven't had a wedding yet? According to me, it's not a bad thing to get married in a hot ceremony. You
Nowadays, it is pitiful to be alone. If you get married as soon as possible, you can inherit the incense of the Marquis Mansion earlier. The Marquis and the Crown Prince will be happy for you, so you don’t have to be too strict with those red tapes!"
Song Xi escaped the surprise attack by luck and was a little shaken by Uncle Xiong's persuasion.
But now that the traitor has been captured, the task at hand should be completed first.
If things go smoothly, the Dingbei Hou Mansion may be able to regain its reputation, and then he will no longer be a repeat offender of the court and can marry Lan'er openly.
"After this is done, I will prepare for the wedding. Uncle Xiong will stay in the villa for a while! An Yan and Wan Li live nearby, so everyone can get together and have a good time today."
Previously, Song Xi went to Yu Lin Mansion to support Tan Ziqian. After the victory, he brought back An Yan and Wan Li from Yu Lin's border army. Both of them were former confidants of Song's father. They were demoted to Yu Lin by the Duke of Lu for their stubbornness and uprightness.
.
Fortunately, Tan Ziqian was generous and benevolent, and also took great care of Song's father's close subordinates. Although An Yan and Wan Li were demoted to soldiers, they did not suffer any oppression or danger.
Song Xi helped Tan Ziqian survive the catastrophe, and Tan Ziqian reciprocated by sending back Song family's cronies. An Yan and An Yan were grateful and decided to follow Song Xi.
Xiong Jianlin laughed heartily when he heard the good news and asked people to find An Yan and Wan Li as soon as possible.
"Okay! Okay! Hahaha! I didn't expect that our veteran generals of the Song family army would be able to reunite one day. That old man, Duke Lu, would definitely be so angry! He deliberately wanted to distract us and disrupt the organization to take advantage of the opportunity.
After taking over the power of the frontier army, who would have thought that the world would go round and round, and the generals of the Song family army would return to the Song family again! Brother Xi, I will follow you in the future! You have to take care of Uncle Xiong's rich beauty.
Bad!"
Song Xi was slightly surprised and pleasantly surprised. He originally thought that Uncle Xiong was going to return to Beijing to retire.
"So you plan to stay in Yanzhou? But I am still a felon in the imperial court, and I don't have much power in my hands. Apart from ensuring that you have enough food and clothing, you may have to do nothing if you stay here."
He has yet to tell the truth about controlling Qin Xi and his 160,000 private soldiers. After all, this matter is no different from treason.
If Uncle Xiong is ready to disband and return to his fields, there is no need to let him know about these situations, otherwise he will definitely be frightened every day and be in a dilemma, not knowing what to choose.
"These days, having enough food and clothing is the most important thing. What else do you need to ask for? What's more, your boy is young and promising, with unparalleled wisdom and courage. Even if he is still guilty now, he will definitely be able to get out of trouble and fly in the future.
Soar to the sky! Uncle Xiong will not allow you to belittle yourself, it is your responsibility and mission to revitalize the Song family!"
Xiong Jianlin warned with a serious face, his eyes full of trust and respect for Song Xi.
It was his lifelong regret that he could not save the Marquis and the Crown Prince. He had to protect the only child of the Song family.
The frontier army was no longer suitable for him to survive, and he could not do anything else when he returned to the capital. Pretending to be disabled was, after all, a crime of deceiving the emperor. His only option was to disband and return to the field.
Retiring from the battlefield does not mean that he can live a leisurely life. He has to protect the only successor for Dingbei Hou.
Help Song Xi clear the grievances of the Hou Mansion, and then watch him happily get married and have children, and urge him to do a career to revitalize the Song family. He will live a peaceful life and everything will go smoothly.
Xiong Jianlin only has this goal for the rest of his life, and all other things must come after Song Xi!
"What Boss Xiong said is exactly what we want to say!"
An Yan and Wan Li walked over smiling and echoed Xiong Jianlin's words loudly.
Several old friends greeted each other with fist bumps, and their attitude was as enthusiastic as ever.
Song Xi was deeply moved and bowed deeply to the three of them.
"Thank you to the three uncles. Thank you for always believing in the innocence of the Song family. Thank you for never giving up on reversing the case for my father and brother. Thank you for being willing to support and follow me in such a difficult situation! Song Xi hereby promises that in the future, we will definitely get married.
Please repay your kindness!"
The three of them looked at each other and immediately gathered around Song Xi.
"Good nephew, we don't need you to repay any kindness. Your father and brother have taken good care of us. If you repay us again, I won't be able to repay it! In the future, we will all be brothers and help each other through difficulties, so there is no need to say more
Those polite clichés!"
Xiong Jianlin also nodded, patted Song Xi on the shoulder and said: "That's right! It's too outrageous to say repay a favor. Just promise Uncle Xiong three meals a day! We are never picky about food and it's easy to feed us. Just press
Let me take care of the meal you entertained me in Xiliang earlier."
The reception was not simple! Abalone, ginseng, wings, tripe, delicacies from all over the world were all prepared, and the wine for the dinner was the century-old Zhuangyuanhong, which may not be easily available even in good years.
Chapter completed!
