The Bamboo Horse Dressed as the Emperor

Grandpa Song carried Song Jiao, Song Jiao carried the little yellow dog, and a group of children back to the defense mansion.

Grandpa Song said to the children: "Thank you for helping Mao Mao fight today. Grandpa will treat you to sweets another day. Now go home and see the doctor to see if there is any injury."

The children also saw him arguing with Mr. Xie just now, and they were a little scared.

Grandpa Mao Mao is so fierce and powerful that even Grandpa Xie Shen dares to scold him.

They all patted their chests and said: "It's a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about, so you're welcome."

"It's 'not worth mentioning'." Wen Zhi corrected, then turned to Grandpa Song, "Then can we still play with Maomao in the future?"

"of course can."

"Then brother Shen can do it too?"

"Also."

That's good, no matter how the adults quarrel, don't delay their children playing together.

Grandpa Song said a few more words to them, then let them go back, and he also went back with Song Jiao in his arms.

In the past few months, Song Jiao always shared a room with Xie Chen, and Grandpa Song sent him back to the room first: "Maomao, go and pack your things, only the most important things."

Song Jiao asked, "Grandpa, are we going out?"

Grandpa Song nodded: "Well, time is running out for a trip, so I can only bring the most important things."

Song Jiao raised the little yellow dog in his arms: "Then I've already taken it."

system:! ! !

Hey, my cub is so nice.

Grandpa Song smiled, picked him up again, and walked to his room: "Then just take it, Grandpa still has your clothes there, Grandpa go back and tidy up."

So Grandpa Song went back to his room, packed up a small bundle, carried it on his back, hugged Song Jiao, and went out through the side door of the garrison mansion.

When going out, he bumped into the old doctor who came to see a doctor in the mansion in a carriage.

After Song Jiao came to Liangzhou City, the old doctor took care of his injuries and illnesses, so they naturally knew each other.

The old doctor had just lifted the curtain of the carriage, and when he saw Junjun Song, he was shocked and said, "Oh, so urgent? Where is Mao Mao injured?"

Grandpa Song strode forward, pushed him into the carriage, then sent Song Jiao in, stuffed him into his arms, and finally got into the carriage himself.

The old doctor was stunned:? ? ?

what happened?Why did I come in again?

"I'm going out, let me borrow it." Grandpa Song sat firmly in his seat, gave instructions to the coachman, and then put down the curtain, "Tongwen Lane."

The old doctor hugged Song Jiao, touched the corner of his broken mouth, and said distressedly: "What's wrong with Mao Mao?"

Song Jiao lowered her head and picked her fingers: "Some people said I was a little spy, so I got into a fight with them."

"Oh, what a crime." The old doctor touched his little hand, "Don't pay attention to them, they are talking nonsense."

"Um……"

The old doctor looked at Grandpa Song again, and now he understood that he was in a hurry, quit, and was going to go on vacation, leaving everything to the bandits and letting them do it themselves, so they didn't bother to take care of it.

The old doctor asked: "Do you have a house outside? Didn't the posthouse burn down? Why don't you come and live with me for a few days?"

"Yes." Grandpa Song folded his hands, "I bought one outside."

"Yo, when did you buy it?"

"Just a while ago."

Song Jiao touched the tip of his nose: "Grandpa, are you rich?"

"What are you talking about? Of course grandpa is rich. Grandpa has worked for that old bandit for more than half a year. You can't do it for nothing, can you?" Junshi Song turned to the old doctor and smiled. I started my own salary."

Just at this time, the curtain hanging on the carriage window was blown up by the wind, and two generals who looked like bandits rode through the street and passed the carriage.

Song Junshi saw them, and they also saw Song Junshi.

Song Junshi's face changed instantly, the corners of his mouth drooped, his face was straight, and his eyes were sharp; the faces of the bandits outside were not too good-looking, and their disgust was almost written on their faces.

The old doctor smiled and shook his head, then lowered his head to coax Song Jiao: "Does Mao Mao hurt? Can the doctor apply medicine to you?"

"Yeah." Song Jiao nodded, and said in a low voice, "No need for injections... just fine."

Over there, Master Xie and Xie Chen also returned to the defense mansion.

The entourage brought two sets of cold water and a towel, Mr. Xie took the water and washed his face, Xie Chen also washed his face, then walked to the middle of the lobby and sat down on his own small cushion.

Mr. Xie was very angry and funny, and he also walked over and sat down: "What's wrong with Brother Shen? Why are you so angry?"

Xie Chen folded his hands and said, "Grandpa, you are so useless, I want to watch them here and apologize to Mao Mao."

"Don't you always bully Mao Mao yourself?"

"That... that's different." Xie Chen said confidently, "I didn't really bully Maomao when I bullied him. They really bullied Maomao when they bullied Maomao."

Mr. Xie patted his knee and sighed: "You don't understand this matter. The army is full of your uncles and uncles. How many years have they been with me? How can I speak harshly to them?"

Xie Chen pursed the corners of his lips: "Then who did it wrong?"

"Of course they did something wrong, of course they will make an apology, but..."

"If you make a mistake, you should apologize." Xie Chen tilted his head, "Besides, Maomao may not necessarily forgive them."

He sighed heavily, very old-fashioned: "I still have to coax Mao Mao, it's all because Grandpa didn't handle this matter well."

Mr. Xie didn't know what he thought of, and was slightly taken aback.

Then the attendant came to report: "The old master, the two masters have arrived."

Before Song Junshi drafted official positions, they were still using the title of the former bandit village.

Master Xie waved his hand, "Let them wait outside first."

He had to think about this matter first.

If you want to talk about friendship, it is naturally the brothers who have followed him through life and death for decades, from bandits to now. But if you want to reason, they really don't make sense this time.

A while ago, Army Master Song told him about the rumors in the army, but he didn't take it very seriously at the time. At most, some people were not familiar with Army Master Song, and they would understand when they got to know him later.

So he just went to have a drink with his brothers in the army, and said a few words casually.At that time, the brothers had promised well, so how did it become like this?

Before he could sort out these things clearly, the front door was pushed open.

"Brother, what are you doing with us? Why don't you let us in?"

The speaker was the former third head of the family, surnamed Peng, short in stature but loud.In the past, he was in charge of accounts in the bandit village.

Also coming in together was Wang Kuang's grandfather, the former head of the family.

At first glance, he saw that Mr. Xie's complexion was not very good, so he just called out "Brother" and said nothing else.

Mr. Xie ignored them and continued to think about things.

He believed that he had never treated Song Junshi badly in the past six months. He would support whatever he wanted to do. How could others still dare to neglect him?

Weird.

Afterwards, the entourage came to report: "The old master, the great master and the second master have also arrived."

Master Xie and Second Master Xie entered the door together to salute: "Father, Uncle Wang, Uncle Peng."

Now, basically all the people in charge of the bandit village are here.

Mr. Xie was originally a horse slave in the horse farm. He sworn brothers with Wang and Peng with different surnames. He gathered a group of slaves and rebelled against the owner of the horse farm.Starting from a horse farm, he became a bandit and became a bandit, growing his power step by step.

At first he became the head of the family, Wang and Peng were the second and third heads respectively, later he gave birth to two sons, and the other two heads also had sons.On the day the eldest son turned 15, he had a drink with the two masters. Early the next morning, he changed his name to the old master and gave the eldest son the position of the master.

From then on, the rest of the people were no longer called "heads", but generals leading troops, or stewards. Even his own second son was only "second master".

Everyone understood what he meant, Mr. Xie already regarded his eldest son as his heir.In the future, no one will sit on an equal footing with the head of the family and call him a brother.

In a certain sense, Mr. Xie is indeed far-sighted.

Master Xie asked, "Father, why did you come here for us?" He quickly saw Xie Chen's face brightened, "Brother Shen, what's wrong? Are you fighting with someone else?"

Xie Chen raised his hand and touched his face: "Well, I fought with Wang Kuang."

The head of the family looked at Mr. Wang: "Uncle Wang, is Brother Kuang alright?"

Mr. Wang shook his head: "It's okay."

"Father, is it because of the children's fight?"

Before the master had finished speaking, Mr. Xie suddenly got up, picked up the teacup on the desk, and slammed it on the ground.

All of a sudden, tiles splashed all over the place, and the tea was poured on the clothes of several people, blurring out a thick or light brown color.

The head of the family and Xie Erye hurriedly bowed their heads and pleaded guilty: "Father, I don't know what is it that made Dad so angry."

Mr. Xie rushed down the steps, patted the backs of the two sons' heads, and gave each of them: "You two, even Brother Shen can't compare."

He looked at the boss: "Boss, are you learning from Mr. Song these days?"

He looked at Second Master Xie again: "Second Brother, are you staying in the army for a while?"

"Pig brains, pig brains." Mr. Xie chased after them and took the lead, "Mr. Song's rumors are spreading in the army, passing them around, passing them around, and you all don't know about them. If you don't do anything, just let them spread the rumors. Go, how much wronged did Mr. Song suffer? Huh?"

He was talking about his two sons on the surface, but in fact he was telling Wang and Peng what he said.

"Even Brother Shen knows that Mr. Song is a good man, and a good man cannot be wronged. What about you? You don't understand anything. Our group of people will be dragged away by military advisers in the future. You are good, you are good, and he is angry. I'm angry, I'm angry."

"I can't even control my own children, spread rumors, and gossip in front of other people's grandsons. What does this mean? That Mao Mao is also my god-grandson, Song Junshi is my god-grandson's grandfather, they This is to put my face on the ground and trample to death together. Besides, if Army Master Song is angry, what can we do?"

The words have come to this point, if Wang and Peng can't understand anymore, then they don't need to grow ears.

Mr. Wang stepped forward to grab Mr. Xie and said, "Okay, well, the two of them didn't spread the rumors, and it's useless for the elder brother to beat them. I've heard from our family about this matter, and I don't blame them. It's all being passed on, Mr. Song..."

Mr. Xie said seriously: "Then Mr. Song did nothing wrong at all. I stay with him all day long, and he is busy all day long. What bad things can he do?" : "Second brother, don't excuse the two of them. This matter, if you did something wrong, you just did something wrong. I will ask them to apologize to Junshi Song."

He beckoned his entourage to come forward: "Go, go and invite Mr. Song and Mao Mao to come over. I will make this group of people make amends for them. And the group of hairy children who fought with Mao Mao today, bring them all here."

"Yes." The follower quickly went down.

Wang and Peng exchanged a look, knowing that he was going to be serious.

Mr. Wang took a step forward: "Brother, everyone in the army has heard about this incident. Even my third brother and I were at fault. If this is the case, then call everyone here, and let's apologize to Mr. Song together."

"En." Just as he wanted to, Mr. Xie nodded again and again, and called back the entourage who was about to go out, "Come back, call all the generals in the army, and let them all come to plead guilty."

Everyone was stunned. Mr. Wang wanted to trip him, but he didn't expect Mr. Xie to go up the steps just like that.

Only Master Xie was at a loss, he really didn't know about it.He is not like Second Master Xie, who pays close attention to the changes in the wind direction in the city and knows every move in his chest. He has always been what Old Master Xie asked him to do, and he will do what he does.

If the matter is really what my father said just now, then I should apologize.

So he straightened his clothes: "Father, let me invite Mr. Song and Maomao in person, and be more sincere."

"Yeah." Mr. Xie was very satisfied, and the child can be taught.

He also straightened his beard: "When Mr. Song comes, we will all kneel down and make amends."

Not long after, footsteps came from outside the door, Mr. Xie was about to kneel down, but the person who came was Mr. Master.

"Father, Mr. Song is gone!"

"Ah?" Mr. Xie was shocked, and strode out the door, "Military division!"

Xie Chen also ran out: "Maomao!"

In Xie Chen's room, Xie Chen looked at the unchanged furnishings and shouted: "Mao Mao!"

Mrs. Xie hugged him: "Oh, why are you shouting so loudly? Mao Mao just went out to play with his grandfather for a while, and will be back in a few days."

When Grandpa Song took Song Jiao away, he specifically told Mrs. Xie.Mrs. Xie expressed her understanding and did not force them to stay. She just asked for their address after they left, thinking about sending something there in a few days.

But Mrs. Xie did not expect that Xie Chen's reaction would be so great.

"I want mama!"

"Hey, didn't you always say that Maomao took half of your room? Now that he's gone out to play, this room is yours."

Xie Chen stomped his feet anxiously: "I don't care, I want Mao Mao! Grandpa did something wrong, not me. Grandpa Song wants to leave, just go by himself, why take Mao Mao away? I am not I won't protect Maomao."

He ran to the table, wiped off the "[-]th line" drawn on the table with his sleeve, wiped it, and cried out "pig cry".

"I want mama!"

In Song Junshi's room, Mr. Xie stood in front of the table, looking at the neat documents and seals on the table, he suddenly felt sad.

"It's all right now, this time the military division is angry. I want the military division!"

Mr. Wang said: "Brother, don't be sad, let's see if there are any important things taken away by Mr. Song. This Mr. Song is really, he left without saying a word, leaving so many things behind..."

Master Xie interrupted him and shouted loudly: "We have bullied him like that, and his grandson has been pointed at his nose and scolded, he can't leave yet?"

Mr. Peng San murmured, "Brother, why is he in such a hurry? Isn't he just in charge of accounts? It's as if no one has ever been in charge."

Master Xie simply picked up the documents, seals and other items on the table and stuffed them into the hands of the two of them.

"I told you a while ago that we are fighting the world on horseback, and we have to take care of everything that is captured by Mr. Song. If you don't believe me, it's all right now. Mr. Song is gone. Since it's from the army Rumors, and these things, I will leave it to you now."

Peng San said: "Just take care of it, I don't believe it anymore, these things are different from what we used to do in the bandit village, isn't it because the place is bigger? He Song Wenxue can take care of it, just like us bandits Can manage."

Master Xie snorted coldly and walked out the door.

That night, a carriage stopped in front of Tongwen Lane.

General Wu and Mr. Liu carried their things, got out of the carriage, walked into the alley, stopped at the second house on the left, climbed up three stone steps, and knocked on the door.

At that time, Grandpa Song was telling a story to Song Jiao, coaxing him to sleep, when he heard the knock on the door, he let Song Jiao go to bed alone, got up and put on his clothes to open the door.

The wooden door opened, and when he saw two people outside, Army Master Song smiled and turned sideways to let them in.

General Wu asked: "Aren't you afraid that we are here to be lobbyists? How dare you let us in?"

"No." After they all came in, Army Master Song closed the wooden door, "You two, one is my in-laws, and the other is my senior brother. It's unlikely that even you will turn to that old bandit."

General Wu looked around: "Tsk, my Mao Mao is suffering, and always moves around with you, or you should just support me, at least I won't keep moving."

Song Junshi folded his hands: "You think beautifully."

General Wu yelled "Mao Mao" and went in. Army division Song stopped him and said "The child is asleep" behind him, but he didn't hear it.

Army Master Song shook his head helplessly. Mr. Liu raised the wine and meat in his hand and touched his shoulder: "Okay, I guess you won't be able to sleep either, so go in and talk."

Mats and mats were placed outside the room, and when they were arranging wine and meat, General Wu came out with Song Jiao in his arms.

"Mamao, do you like grandpa or grandpa?"

Song Jiao was about to fall asleep, but was suddenly picked up from the bed, and had to face this difficult problem.

He rubbed his eyes: "I hate it, grandpa is so annoying!"

"Oh, grandpa hates it." General Wu sat down with him in his arms, and pinched a piece of lean meat for him to eat.

Song Junshi gave a "tsk" and said, "The child has brushed his teeth."

"I'll brush him up later."

General Wu stuffed the meat into Song Jiao's mouth. Song Jiao took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he woke up instantly: "Barbecue!"

"Yes, barbecue, does grandpa still hate it now?"

Song Jiao repeatedly shook his head: "I don't hate it at all."

General Wu fed him another piece: "What about now?"

Song Jiao lowered her head and thought for a while: "Well... there are two things I don't hate anymore."

General Wu laughed loudly: "Hey, this little treasure, eat more, eat more." He hugged Song Jiao, and while feeding him, he looked at Song Junshi: "You eat too, I will eat more." I won't feed you anymore."

Song Junshi frowned: "It's disgusting."

"It's disgusting." Song Jiao chewed the barbecue, "Grandpa, is it a new idiom?"

Mr. Liu hurriedly said: "No, don't learn."

Several people gossiped for a while, and the topic inevitably turned to the bandits.

Mr. Liu approached Army Division Song and lowered his voice: "I've heard about this too, and it's true that what they did was dishonest. In the past six months, you haven't allocated any of their military salaries and rations, if you didn't manage them Several states and counties, they should have been unable to open the fire. Now you are negotiating peace with Qing Guo, they are not happy, if they are not happy, they will directly fight over, why are you angry with you?"

He pursed the corners of his lips: "Good job, let them see who is the housekeeper in the bandit village. Is it okay to leave you? Don't go back just because you are soft-hearted. You have to wait until they know they are wrong. , come to the door to beg you in person.”

Song Junshi nodded: "I know."

"You know now. These states and counties are managed by you alone, and a new dynasty is about to be established. The new dynasty is also built by you. I'm afraid that you will be reluctant to take out the things you built yourself. Go, let them take care of it for a while."

"No, I have the bottom line in my heart, and there will be no big trouble."

"That's good."

General Wu also held Song Jiao in his arms, and leaned over: "The bandits have known each other for decades. If they stick together like this again, they don't listen to others, and they can make rumors about whoever they want. The old bandits still protect them. If this matter is not resolved thoroughly, the knife will fall on me and Lao Liu sooner or later. Lao Liu and I fully support you, if you have anything you want us to do, just ask."

Junjun Song shook his head: "There is nothing for you to do."

General Wu covered Song Jiao's ears, and children couldn't hear what he said next.

"Then can we 'add insult to injury'?"

Song Junshi frowned: "What? What did you do?"

"It's nothing, just this afternoon, the old bandit got angry and ran to the barracks to find someone to fight one-on-one. After fighting all afternoon, Lao Liu and I passed by and made some sarcastic remarks."

Master Song could almost imagine the scene. His in-laws had always been venomous, Senior Brother Liu was a literati, and he was also very talkative. The two of them sang together, and sometimes they could explode people's lungs.

His frown became deeper and deeper: "Passing by? A few words?"

General Wu could only admit: "Well, I went there on purpose, and I said about twenty sentences."

"That's not as much as the rumors they spread about you." Mr. Liu said, "You don't have to worry about it, you just wait for them to find out how important you are, and just come to beg you."

General Wu touched the wound on the corner of Song Jiao's mouth: "I feel sorry for my Mao Mao, this must be revenge, I want the Wang family to kneel down and apologize to Mao Mao."

Song Jiao heard her grandfather talking about herself, so she opened her eyes and said with a strong nasal voice, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. Oh, that's right." General Wu suddenly remembered something, "After you left, Brother Shen spent the whole day howling in his room, 'I want to fuck', and scolded his grandfather. After a while, now I have spoken harshly to Wang Kuang of the Wang family, seeing him beat him once, the Wang family dare not let Wang Kuang go out now."

"Ah?" Song Jiao was very surprised, "Wow!"

He grinned, touching the wound at the corner of his mouth, and it hurt so much that tears came out.

"Don't tell me, brother Shen always bullies you, but in critical situations, he is more reliable than his grandfather."
