Rebel

In Hanzhong County, there are turbulent winds and clouds, and the undercurrent changes, while Gu Ben, who is far away in Tianjiazhuang, Mangdang Mountain, Jiangqu County, lives peacefully and peacefully in Tianjiazhuang's warm and windy days every day.

Until one day, Gu Ben received a letter from Gu Ao from Longshan.

On the day when Gu Ben received Gu Ao's news, Master Tian came to Gu's house in person, Tian Song and Tian Bai also accompanied them, and the three of them surrounded the yard, and Tian Song respectfully finished reading what he said in the letter.

I don't know when, Gu Ao's letter became a big event that everyone in Tianjiazhuang was looking forward to...

Over the years, time has passed and circumstances have changed, and Tianjiazhuang has quietly undergone changes.

Tian Bai still remembers the day when his younger sister was born, he waited restlessly outside the door of his mother's room... At that time, he suddenly heard a loud cry of a baby, stopped his steps, and rushed to the door , Xiang Li asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

There was no reply from the rustling inside, and after a while, the midwife raised the curtain and said with a smile: "Second young master, it's a young lady!"

Hearing this, Tian Bai couldn't help taking a deep breath, he shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling... At that moment, his whole body felt stiff.

Ah……

—It’s a girl.

On the second day after Mrs. Xin gave birth to her daughter, the Gu family sent a letter of appointment as expected after hearing the news; Tian Bai was at his mother's place, watching his sister rolling around like a wrinkled monkey, writhing her petite limbs, wondering for a while. What's the taste.

However, that was seven years ago.

Time may always be able to dilute the oppressive grievances in his heart, Tian Bai gradually calmed down and accepted the truth; and Tian girl, with the passage of Tianjiazhuang's peaceful and quiet years, grew up day by day.

Everyone couldn't help but notice that as Miss Tian grew older, although there was still Mrs. Xin's delicate shadow in her eyebrows, her figure became more and more like Master Tian...

She has a chubby body, a chubby round face, and chubby calves...

She raised her hand, like a plump and saturated lotus root...

She has been out of temper since she was a child, and although she is fat, she runs extremely fast... If you look over suddenly, it seems that what you see is not a cute smiling girl, but a chubby little meat running with the wind ball……

But now, another gratifying change has taken place in Miss Rouqiutian, she has changed her teeth.At this time, her words were always leaking.She has known since she was a child that she is the concubine of a big brother who has never met, and the big brother's parents live in her own farm, so when she is free, she will run outside the courtyard of the Gu family and see Gu Ben sitting She was basking in the sun there, and she shouted, "Grandpa!"

Gu Ben smiled slightly: "Tian Xiaoniu is here? Come in, let your aunt cut a melon for you to eat."

Gu Shi also came out when she heard the sound, seeing that it was Miss Tian, ​​she couldn't help beaming with joy, she hurriedly turned around and took out all kinds of melon and fruit snacks, and said to Miss Tian: "Come, come to Auntie, come and eat melons!"

Miss Tian was overprotected by his second elder brother Tian Bai since she was a child, and she grew up to be a chubby and careless silly girl. Tian Bai finally went out to collect rent, and she was free by herself. He happily ran to the courtyard of Gu's house, and ate the melons as soon as he took them.Gu Shi watched from the side, and couldn't help laughing until her eyes narrowed. She couldn't help but grabbed Miss Tian's chubby face, and sighed: "This child is so happy! Good fortune!"

Miss Tian wiped the melon juice off her lips carelessly, and said, "When will the big brother of the Gu family come back? I want to see him!"

When Gu Shi heard this, he was even more happy, and said: "Oh, he hasn't returned yet! Come back, I'll let him look for you, okay?"

Miss Tian pursed her plump and round lips solemnly, and said, "You must let him come to me, I want to see what he looks like!"

Gu replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, okay!" He said with joy in his heart, "This Tian girl is really likable." '

But at this moment, a provocative male voice came from outside the yard, and the man shouted: "Little fat man! What are you doing? Can't wait to see your brother?"

Miss Tian looked back, and saw a young man in rags, with a trace of ruffian in his face, who was carrying a big rusty knife with a chip in it, and slipped off a lame donkey, his whole body was seeping. The ground was bleeding... The young man couldn't stand still, so he hurriedly supported his body with a knife, and then stabilized his heels.

Miss Tian exhausted all her breastfeeding strength, retorted back and shouted: "It's you again! You said it! The nest is not a fat paper!" After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her chubby hand in surprise ——She lost her teeth... She can't speak clearly when she speaks loudly, how could she forget it!

Hearing the sound, Gu Shi hurried to the yard, supported the crumbling young man, and said anxiously: "Oh! Why are you fighting again! Old man, hurry up and prepare the wound medicine!"

Only then did Gu Ben stand up slowly from the yard, and went into the house with a cane.Gu helped Er Gouzi into the house, and the Er Gou sneered at Miss Tian who was standing in the yard filled with righteous indignation, and said contemptuously, "You little fat man!"

Gu Shi frowned: "Dog, why can't you spit out ivory from your dog's mouth? Don't frighten Miss Tian!"

Er Gouzi snorted coldly and said, "Godmother, you love your daughter-in-law..."

While talking, Gu Shi finally brought Er Gouzi into the room, Gu Ben had already prepared the wound medicine, at this moment he sat on the couch and asked Er Gouzi calmly: "Who are you going to fight again? "

Er Gouzi smiled, accidentally pulled the wound, took a breath, and said, "You idiot, it's nothing to worry about! Godfather, don't worry about me!"

Gu Ben nodded, stroked his beard and urged: "Good boy! You have backbone!"

... There is still a story about why these two dogs called Gu Ben and Gu Shi "godfather" and "godmother".

It turns out that since Ergou made some unsavory tricks at the foot of the mountain, Ergou's father has completely let go of him.The housekeeper scolded him all the time when he saw him. One day, Er Gouzi happened to fall down in a field not far from the Gu family's courtyard covered in bruises. Everyone in Tianjiazhuang avoided him like a snake and scorpion, knowing that he must be causing trouble at the foot of the mountain again.

But Gu Ben said to Gu Shi: "Bring that child back and heal the wound."

Gu Shi didn't dare before, but Gu Ben knew Gu's wife's benevolence, and persuaded: "If we do more good deeds, it will benefit Gu Ao outside." Gouzi dragged him back to the courtyard of the Gu family.When Er Gouzi woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Gu Ben sitting in front of the couch with a white beard hanging down, facing him with his eyes closed with an inscrutable face.Er Gouzi was shocked, and his injury was still not healed, so he could only shout at the top of his voice: "—Old blind man, what are you doing?"

Gu Ben smiled slightly, for such a reckless young man who was unwilling to resign himself to fate, he had learned a lot in Cheng Wang's army before, so he said leisurely: "Just now when you fell asleep, the old man weighed your bones, do you want to hear Is it your life?"

"..." Er Gouzi's eyes widened for a moment.

...Sure enough, within a day, Er Gouzi was stupefied by Gu Ben. He knelt down on the bed with his wounds, and insisted on worshiping Gu Ben as his godfather... Gu Ben also came Without refusing, he even pulled Gu Shi on, and asked Er Gouzi to recognize the 'godmother' as well, and said to Er Gouzi: "If you hurt your body in the future, come here, there is medicine!"

……

At this time, Er Gouzi was lying on the bed, moaning and asking Gu to give him medicine, and asked Gu Ben: "Godfather, you said that I will become a great weapon in the future, is this true?"

Gu Ben nodded mysteriously with an expression of "you can't tell outsiders", and said slowly: "...there is still a fake?"

Er Gouzi gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Okay, that's good, I will fight!"

Gu Shi carefully applied the wound medicine to Er Gouzi, seeing the bloody wound at this moment, she couldn't help feeling a little unbearable, since she married Gu Ben and gave birth to Gu Ao, she has now become an old lady ... When Gu Ao was away, she often missed her son, and seeing Er Gou constantly causing trouble in the village, she sometimes couldn't help thinking, 'If Ao'er was still by my side, he would be so old. '

Gradually getting acquainted with Ergou, Gu Shi unknowingly spread the motherly love that has nowhere to be given to Ergou freely. At this time, she said: "Dog, the godmother has made you a new one." Clothes, take them when you leave!"

Er Gouzi said unceremoniously: "Okay! Thank you, godmother!"

After taking the medicine, Er Gouzi was taking a nap when he heard the fat girl, Miss Tian, ​​running to his bed, touching the chubby face righteously, and shouting to him, "I'm not fat! Paper!"

Er Gouzi opened his eyes and smiled contemptuously: "You are fat!"

Miss Tian pursed her lips, raised her voice, and almost cried: "The nest is not fat paper!"

Er Gouzi shrugged indifferently: "You little fat man!"

Miss Tian tilted the corner of her mouth, her grievances were written all over her round face, when suddenly a tear fell down with a patter, and it was dripping on Er Gouzi's hand.Er Gouzi saw that Miss Tian was weeping slowly at first in silence, and the tears were like a string of beads, dripping down more and more, and there was still a "woo-woo" twitching sound in his throat, Er Gouzi was no longer nervous , also knew that the bullying of the little girl was too much this time, and she panicked for a while, and hurriedly said: "Oh, why are you still crying?"

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Er Gouzi hurriedly stood up, and comforted him: "Don't cry! Don't cry! You're not fat!"

At this moment, Miss Tian burst into tears: "Woooooo! The nest is fat paper! The nest is fat paper, why so high?"

Er Gouzi doesn't know why, he just likes to bully this little girl who looks like a meat ball, as if teasing her and making her angry, he can be complacent, but now that Miss Tian is really bullied by him and crying, Er Gouzi feels distressed again Feeling guilty, she unconsciously imitated her and said: "Fat paper is fat paper! What's wrong with fat paper?! Fat paper is also a little beauty!"

Miss Tian stopped crying when she heard the words, blinked her tearful eyes, and stared at Er Gou in a daze: "Really? Is the elder brother of the Gu family Fei Porky?"

Er Gouzi thought about it, and felt that it was not good to go against his will, so he said, "I think... I'm afraid I won't like it..."

Miss Tian let out a loud cry!Gu Shi was fetching water outside, when he heard the crying in the room, he shouted: "Dog! Why are you bullying Miss Tian again!"

Er Gouzi hurriedly said, "I didn't!"

Miss Tian cried even louder when she heard his denial.

Er Gouzi was at a loss for a while and said to Miss Tian: "Oh! The elder brother of the Gu family doesn't like you! I like you!... I, I like you, why not!"

Miss Tian gradually sobbed a few times, she opened her teary eyes dimly, and asked, "Why is the mud porridge?"

Er Gouzi looked at Miss Tian in front of me, and I felt pity for him, and suddenly said in a bewildered way: "I just like fat people. You are so chubby, so cute."

Miss Tian was stunned on the spot, she blinked, turned around and ran away quickly.

Er Gouzi looked at the back of Miss Tian going away like the wind, and said in his heart: "No, I said the wrong thing now, so you can't control your mouth!"

……

……

... These are all past events, let's not mention them for now.

Having said that, Mr. Tian brought Tian Song and Tian Bai to read Gu Ao's letter to Gu Ben this day. Seeing that Gu Ben was silent for a long time, Mr. Tian thought speculatively: "Oh...the matter of Gu Ao It is indeed too outrageous... How can you decide on your own marriage with the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker? Mr. Gu must be angry because of this, I have to comfort you... Besides, since Gu Ao has become Shan Yunzi's student , I thought he was so promising that he could marry a daughter of a noble family, but I didn't expect to marry a woman from the mountains, and she still has soldiers and generals under his command? Not to mention wronged Gu Ao, this is even more wronged by my daughter. ...to be a concubine under such a woman..."

Mr. Tian just wanted to say a few words of relief, but Gu Ben suddenly laughed hootingly. He stood up with some difficulty while sticking to his crutches. He focused his eyes, but there was no lack of excitement in his tone, and he said repeatedly: "Okay! ——Okay! From now on, my son will also be the one who rules the side and has soldiers and horses..."

Unknown, Mr. Tian stepped in and quickly asked respectfully: "Mr. Gu, what does this mean? I hope you can explain a thing or two."

Gu Ben stroked his beard with a smile and said: "Hejian County only has [-] defenders... My son has collected [-] elite soldiers this time!"

Only then did Master Tian come back to his senses: "Oh... this... this is really a happy event!"

Gu Ben raised his head and said sadly: "...the sky has eyes, and the children will break the thief!"

From that day on, Gu Ben resumed his habit of looking at the stars every night; but these years he has gradually aged, and his eyes have become more and more difficult. He often looks up, but he can't see the appearance of the stars clearly. ...

This day, as usual, he walked into the yard in a senile manner, was supported by Gu Shi, and sat down under the tree.

"Go in, don't catch cold." Gu Ben said to Gu Shi.

Knowing that Gu Ben usually wanted to sit alone under the tree for a while after dinner, Gu didn't bother, turned around and went back to the house tactfully.

Under the cover of a shady shadow, Gu Ben raised his eyes and looked - for some reason, the originally blurred vision became extremely clear today. At first, Gu Ben thought he had misread, so he couldn't help but rubbed his eyes and looked again. half an hour——

It really is——

The moon enters the land of Taiwei,

Ziwei changed from bright to dark.

- can't be wrong.

Gu Ben took a deep breath, and then he shouted into the room angrily: "Ma'am!"

Gu Shi was startled in the room, at this moment, he hurriedly ran out, but saw Gu Ben sitting in the moonlight and laughing.Gu Clan was quite shocked, and when he got closer, Gu Clan was even more surprised, but he saw a smile on Gu Ben's face, but tears flowed from his closed eyes, Gu Clan said in a little panic : "Old man, what's the matter?"

Gu Ben hoarsely said: "Madam, prepare wine for me!"

Gu Shi nodded hastily, and hurried into the room to bring out the wine, she asked cautiously: "Old man, are you alright?"

Gu Ben didn't speak, opened the lid of the wine gourd, raised his head and gulped down the fine wine in the gourd, Gu Ben let out a sigh of relief, and said: "The wine is good, and the moon is also good."

Gu Shi finally understood this time, and replied: "The wine was sent by Mrs. Tian during the Chinese New Year."

Gu Ben said leisurely: "The enemy who killed my wife and children died today."

"What... what..." Gu Shi didn't know.She didn't know that Gu Ben had married a wife before, nor did she know that his four sons, three daughters and six wives and concubines were all killed by King Qin's butcher knife, so she looked at Gu Ben in a daze for no reason.

Gu Ben smiled slightly: "After the death of Zulong, the world... will be in chaos!"

----

As for the celestial phenomena, Gu Ben saw that the score was not bad.

The so-called - the smoke of war suddenly rises, and the greedy wolves gather and disperse.

When the young emperor took over the throne, he ordered Zhao Wangjin to go to the vassal state to come to court.

The king of Jin said that he was ill, and Zhao Wangfang was captured by Huben when he arrived in the capital. He declared several crimes, abolished him as a commoner, and imprisoned the capital.

The news spread all over the world, and Jin Wang gathered five counties including Jiangqu, Yingchuan, Jiaodong, etc. like a night, and raised troops on the side of the Qing emperor, saying: "There are no ministers in the court, and there are treacherous traitors in the court. Soldier to punish." His army consisted of 40 people, with Liao Yong as the general and Liao Quji as the forward general, the point of the soldiers was the capital city!

The world startled, the sun and the moon shook!

And in the county mansion of Hanzhong County thousands of miles away, Lu Mouzhong is also calling his subordinates to discuss how to deal with it.With his wide sleeves rolled up, he walked up and down the hall, finally stopped, and asked a little anxiously: "...Is Jun Fan still here?" The person who reported the letter said: "Mr. I really can't get away from the business, and I hope the eunuch will forgive me..."

"Ah!" Lu Mouzhong flicked his sleeves: "At such a critical moment, what is he busy with!"

Lu Dequan took a step forward and said: "Father, if brother Yu doesn't come, father and ministers will discuss among themselves, why not?"

Lu Mouzhong glanced at his son with some resentment, and said in his heart: "My son is good at everything, but he doesn't know how to use people. Why do I bring Jun Fan with me in everything? It's not just for the sake of getting close! Jun Fan's thoughts Calm, and meticulous in observing the current situation... I really don't know how much better than Dequan, alas, Dequan still doesn't know his shortcomings!" Then he sighed: "Jun Fan always has a unique solution, remind me again, Hurry again! Ask him what he is doing! Is there anything more important than discussing what to do in the future now, go and find him!"

Juncheng Ye Xiongguan took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the young master is afraid that there are some things that cannot escape him, that's why this happened."

Chief Shi Li Chongde also said: "Exactly. Your Excellency, just now, Gu Juntong sent a letter, asking if he wants to fight with the whole army?"

Lu Mouzhong paced back and forth, and asked: "Then tell me, this Gu Ao, should we use him or not?"

Ye Xiongguan said: "Up to now, this kid from the Gu family... his ability to persuade people to surrender is obvious to all; his ability to govern is also well known. Whether to send him to fight depends on the prefect, how he wants to use him?"

Lu Mouzhong said: "What is the meaning of this? I would like to hear the details."

Ye Xiongguan said: "If the prefect just wants to use him as a signboard for the poor families in the world to go to our Hanzhong County, then we don't need him in this battle, let him settle in the local area, and do a good job in his military command; if the prefect wants to cultivate him, let him Become a confidant, and you can test his strength in this battle."

Lu Dequan stepped forward and said, "Father, this Gu Ao has only been here for a year, and he has established a firm foothold in Hanzhong County. Now he has more than 15 soldiers. Our Hanzhong County's elite soldiers are only [-], except for the guards in each county. ...I don't know if it is possible to reuse this person so much?"

Chief Shi Li Chongde also said: "Exactly. I never expected that Gu Ao could really persuade the bandits from Longshan to surrender. At that time, the county guards were preparing for war, and they were worried that the world would change in the future. That's why I can't help but say that Gu Ao was given too much military power and power, looking at it now, it seems to be a trend..."

Lu Mouzhong remained silent, Ye Xiongguan frowned and said: "What are you talking about? The humble family has been declining, and the people from the outside family are staring at each other. Now they are afraid that the poor family will have no talents. How can a poor family be suspicious when they have talents! Isn't it putting the cart before the horse? ?! You are afraid that the Gu family kid will become powerful, so you should use him to deal with the family, so that those people in the family will also be afraid! What's the use of the poor family calculating themselves?!"

Lu Mouzhong thought for a while, and finally said: "...Brother Ye is right... At the beginning, I was responsive to Gu Ao, what was the reason? Wasn't it to keep him, so that all the poor families in the world could see that I am a lover of talents in Hanzhong County? Heart? Now that he has become powerful, but dare not use it, then why did he uplift him at the beginning... Sigh... Dequan, you have to think before you do things and talk, don't be self-righteous!"

Lu Dequan lowered his head, exchanged glances with Chang Shi Li Chongde, and then said: "Father taught me a lesson!"

----

Soon, Gu Ao, who was preparing for battle in Longshan, received an order from the prefect from the county seat. Hanzhong County announced that it would send troops to fight against the king's thief. Chi unified the command and faced the vanguard general under King Jin-Liao Quji.
