Recently, the Gong family and Chen Zikun have become very close.
Gong Zijun, the eldest young master of the Gong family, has been in and out of the Military Guard's Office all day long.
He even asked a tailor to make a military uniform, and he has become a serious adviser.
At Chen Zikun's request, Gong Jiaxuan also recruited twelve loyal and honest young men from his hometown Gongjia Temple to serve as servants in the Office of the Protector's Envoy.
Each of them was wearing a gray coarse cloth military uniform, with a cowhide belt around his waist, and a Hanyang-made stick on his back.
Stopping at the gate, it seems like that.
Chen Zikun also asked Mr.
Gong to come forward and rent a few front houses.
It happened that the Gong family had a vacant house, so they rented it out at a low price.
After the contract was signed, it was not opened, but no one said anything about it. care.
Qiu Fuzhao came back from the city after a long journey and saw two people sitting under the willow tree by the moat.
One was Gong Zijun, the eldest young master of the Gong family.
This boy was wearing a blue military uniform and a big-brimmed hat.
He looked like a human and a dog.
While he was bragging, sitting next to him was a female student.
She was very delicate in white clothes and black skirt, and her figure looked familiar.
Upon closer inspection, Commander Qiu's lungs were about to burst with anger.
The female student was none other than Xia Jingxi.
When did the eldest lady get involved with the boy named Gong and sit together by the river, which is immoral?
Captain Qiu was furious.
He was about to go up and question him, but suddenly he had an idea and quietly hid behind a tree and watched from a distance.
Gong Zijun made up his mind in every move he made.
As long as this kid dared to make a move, he would be killed with one shot.
The two of them didn't realize there was a pair of eyes staring at them, they were still chatting happily.
Master Gong also picked a small blue flower and pinned it on Xia Jingxi's temple.
"Does it look good?"
Miss Xia asked, tilting her head.
"Yeah, it looks good."
Master Gong nodded vigorously.
"I hate it."
Miss Xia suddenly became embarrassed and blushed on her cheeks.
Young Master Gong was a little intoxicated and couldn't help but put his mouth to it.
"I'll kill you, you idiot."
Qiu Fuzhao drew his gun and was about to go up.
Suddenly he heard someone behind him shouting: "Captain Qiu, what are you doing?"
When Qiu Fuzhao turned around, he saw Chen Zikun sitting on the horse looking at him with a smile, and quickly put away his pistol: "It's okay, it's okay."
"I haven't seen you these two days, where have you been?"
Chen Zikun asked.
"Oh, there's something going on back home, but it's okay now."
Qiu Fuzhao responded vaguely, his heart was in a mess, filled with the eldest lady and the boy named Gong.
"Oh, if you have anything to say, let's go first."
Chen Zikun tucked his horse under his belly and left.
Qiu Fuzhao looked at the river again, but there was no one there.
Depressedly, he returned to the Xia family's mansion.
He went to report to the master first.

All the tasks assigned to him were completed, and the jade pendant as a token was also returned to the master.
Xia Dalong warned: "Fu Zhao, God knows this, you know it, I know it." , Do you understand?”
Qiu Fuzhao was excited: "I understand, sir."
"Well, you go down."
Xia Dalong sat on the recliner, puffing on the hookah, and began to close his eyes to meditate.
Qiu Fuzhao felt an impulse in his heart, and wanted to report the relationship between the eldest lady and the young master of the Gong family, but He hesitated as he spoke.
"Why, there's something else."
Xia Dalong opened his eyes.
"Sir, uncle, I think I am old enough and want to get married."
Qiu Fuzhao said hesitantly.
"This is about it, haha, I'm interested in someone's daughter.
My uncle will help you propose marriage."
Xia Dalong was happy, his eyebrows narrowed into a slit, it was rare to see him so happy.
Qiu Fuzhao's heart was beating like a big drum.
He didn't know where the courage came from, so he muttered: "Actually, no, my cousin has a husband?"
Deathly silence.
Xia Dalong didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on Qiu Fuzhao, so scared that he didn't dare to speak out.
The only sound in the living room was the sound of the hookah pipe, and the atmosphere was as cold as winter.
After a long while, Xia Dalong finally said slowly: "Your cousin is from a foreign school.
In the future, she will at least marry a military governor or brigade commander.
You don't have to worry about it.
I think the third daughter of the sixth family of Xiajiawa is pretty good.
Her zodiac sign is the same as yours."
She is also a match, and I will be a matchmaker for you tomorrow and marry her."
Having said that, Qiu Fuzhao had nothing else to say.
He nodded and bowed and said, "Thank you, uncle, I'm going back."
"Go."
Xia Dalong waved his hand to dismiss his nephew, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
The most regretful thing in his life was that he had no descendants.
His only biological child, Xia Jingxi, was a daughter and could not inherit the family business.
He adopted a son and now works as an adjutant with Governor Sun.
He is considered promising, but after all, he is not his own flesh and blood.
There is no son, and there is no outstanding person among the Xia family's nephews, so they use their nephew Qiu Fuzhao.
This boy is not very clever, but he is strong and loyal.
In addition, the Qiu family is a small surname, so it is not easy to cause trouble.
The tail is so big that it can't be dropped, but it's barely usable.
It’s not clear whether Qiu Fuzhao is twenty-eight or twenty-nine this year.
Because he has a pimple-skinned face, he has not been married yet.
According to the savings he has made as the head of the security team in the past few years, it is not that he cannot marry a wife.
He never expected that he would not be able to marry.
He actually fell in love with his daughter, and he had the audacity to mention it to her face.
"Does my cousin have an in-law?"
Qiu Fuzhao's words still echoed in Xia Dalong's ears, making his eyebrows jump with anger.
If it had been in the past, he would have jumped up and beat people up, but today is different from the past.
A man came to the county town.

Chen Zikun, the black fish spirit, is no longer in an era where he has the final say.
Qiu Fuzhao, as the head of the security team, still has some effect.
It would be bad if he is torn apart and forced to Chen Zikun's side.
Qiu Fuzhao was very happy because he finally dared to speak his mind in front of the master.
He was very proud.
Although the master did not agree, he was not angry, which showed that his status in the master's heart was relatively high, and there was still room for this matter. .
He was so happy that he walked to the back house without knowing it.
It was not until he reached the Miss Xiu Building that he realized that this was an inner house that outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering.
But I am not considered an outsider.
I am the master's nephew.
Qiu Fuzhao easily made an excuse for himself.
He coughed dryly, pulled the hem of his gown, and asked the maid passing by: "Where's the lady?"
"Who's looking for me?"
Xia Jingxi came out of the room and was a little surprised to see Qiu Fuzhao, "What are you doing here?"
Qiu Fuzhao was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, suddenly thought of a topic, and said mysteriously: "Cousin, let me advise you, don't associate with that boy from the Gong family."
Xia Jingxi's eyebrows suddenly stood up: "I want you to take care of my affairs."
Qiu Fuzhao looked around.
The little maids all looked at him with mocking eyes, and then he became a little embarrassed and said, "Miss, I have seen everything happening by the river."
Xia Jingxi hugged her arms, looked at Qiu Fuzhao with disdain, and said coldly: "What's the matter if you see it?"
"Cousin, don't get me wrong.
I didn't say a word in front of my uncle.
I just wanted to tell you.
People named Chen are rabbits whose tails can't grow.
If the young master of the Gong family mixes with them, he will also suffer.
You have a close relationship with him, and you won't be able to get better at that time.
When the army arrives, as the saying goes, there will be no eggs left after the nest is overturned."
Xia Jingxi's eyes widened in surprise, not because Qiu Fuzhao, whom she had always regarded as illiterate, pulled out an idiom, but because of the previous sentence.
"What did you say, when the army arrived?"
Xia Jingxi asked.
Qiu Fuzhao realized that he had said something wrong and quickly covered it up: "It's nothing, that's it.
Cousin, just be careful.
I'll leave first."
Gong Zijun came in a hurry to the Military Guard's Office.
The military uniform he was wearing was made by a tailor in the county.
The position of the four pockets and the buttons were not very standard.
But in the eyes of the county people, he was a serious officer, not at all. adulterated.
Two guards were poking at the door of the second hall.
When they saw Gong Zijun coming, they hurriedly stood at attention and saluted with their left hands.
These villagers were very stupid.
Even after half a month of training, they couldn't tell the difference between left and right, let alone play with the rifle and the bolt.
Insuring these things is too complicated, and in their hands they can only be used as fire sticks.
In normal times, Gong Zijun would definitely have corrected him, but today he just returned the courtesy in a hurry and entered the second hall, found Chen Zikun and said, "Envoy of the Army Guard, something serious has happened."
The Second Hall of the County Government is now the custody room of the Jiangbei Protector's Office.
Chen Zikun and Yan Su both work here.
After hearing Gong Zijun's words, Yan Su stood up quickly: "What's going on?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Tell me slowly."
"Xia Dalong is mobilizing troops to attack us."
Gong Zijun said.
"When, how many people, and where did I receive the news?"
"Xia Jingxi told me, I don't know how many people there are, I just know that the army is dispatched."
Gong Zijun swallowed, very nervous.
After all, he was only a college student and had never experienced any major military incident.
"Where did the eldest lady of the Xia family get the information?"
Yan Su asked with a frown.
"Qiu Fuzhao told her.
She sent her maid to secretly send a message to me just now.
The information is absolutely reliable.
Envoy of the Army Guard, Chief of Staff, please think of a solution quickly."
Gong Zijun wiped the sweat from his forehead again, extremely anxious.
Yan Su calmly spread out a map and said, "Isn't it Sun Kaiqin who wants to mobilize troops to deal with us?
Now that the Zhili clique is at its peak, the old Anhui clique will never take advantage of this juncture to provoke conflicts.
If the provincial army crosses the river and goes north to swallow up We are the best excuse for Marshal Wu to send troops south."
Chen Zikun said: "It may not be the provincial army, it may be bandits."
Yan Su took a breath and said: "It's a good move to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but Xia Dalong is a country squire, so how can he mobilize the bandits?"
Chen Zikun said: "Bandits are rampant in Nantai County, and the county town only has a hundred or so regiments, so how can it be so impregnable?"
Yan Su said: "You mean to raise bandits to respect themselves?"
Chen Zikun nodded: "If you don't do this, how can you squeeze money from those wealthy households and how can you donate money to the public security?
In the 36th year of the Republic of China, I dare not say all the bandits in Nantai County.
At least there are a few big ones, and they are...
Xia Dalong has colluded."
Yan Su paused and said, "It's too unlucky that that company of soldiers left.
If they were here, we could have dealt with them calmly.
Now we don't even have any soldiers under our command.
How to resist the bandits?
It's better to use the Thirty-six Strategies."
Chen Zikun said: "It's late.
I met Qiu Fuzhao today when I was patrolling the city gate.
He has not been in the county for the past two days.
He must have gone to contact the bandits.
At this time, the bandits are probably already on the road and it is too late to leave. ” Just as he was talking, a group member panted and came to report: "Sir, a large group of bandits were found outside the city gate":
