"Brother Shi?" Dong Xiaowan saw that Li Xin was just looking at him in a daze, and his little face turned red and said in a low voice.

"Haha! Brother Fusheng, Brother Xin fell in love with Xiaowan at first sight!" Qiu Hejia, who was in the head, laughed loudly, and Dong Fusheng nodded, showing a look of relief on his face. However, Li Xin's face turned red and he secretly despised him. Xiaowan in front of him was still in the loli stage, so he had thoughts about her, and he was simply a beast.

"See the deceased girl." Li Xin reluctantly stood up, bowed to Dong Xiaowan, and then sat down opposite Dong Fusheng, but he sighed in his heart. In the late Ming Dynasty, he didn't know Emperor Chongzhen and Li Zicheng, but he must know that Dong Xiaowan was one of the top eight famous prostitutes in Qinhuai. But what Li Xin didn't expect was that Dong Xiaowan was actually his wife who had not passed away. It was just that what made people curious was that Dong Xiaowan's family was well-off, and Dong Fusheng could give out tens of taels of silver to help Qiu Hejia recruit soldiers and horses in one breath, which was enough to show how this person's family was. In this way, his family was eventually reduced to a brothel, which shows what must have happened.

"I had asked someone to come forward when Brother Ren was killed, but unfortunately it was useless. Fortunately, Brother Xin was able to escape safely and left his blood for Brother Ren. This is also a great blessing in disgrace. I feel relieved to be with my brother." Dong Fusheng coughed lightly twice, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently wiped it on his mouth. Then he took back his sleeve, his movements were light and lightly, but extremely fast.

"Uncle Shi, you!" Others didn't see clearly, but Li Xin's sharp eyes could see clearly, and there was a trace of red mark on the handkerchief.

"Don't worry, it's all old problems." Dong Fusheng waved his hand and said indifferently.

"My dear brother is in poor health, why should he come to Liaodong? Just send someone here." Qiu Hejia also saw that Dong Fusheng was in poor health at this time, and couldn't help but say in anger.

"This matter is very important. My brother needs ten thousand taels of silver to recruit soldiers. If I don't come here in person, I will be worried." Dong Fusheng waved his hand, and a hint of fatigue appeared on his face.

"Uncle Shi traveled a long distance and it was extremely hard. It would be better to stay here for a while. It would not be too late to go back to Jiangnan after he was recuperating." Li Xin thought for a while and said with some concern. This time was different from later generations. There were planes and high-speed trains in later generations. It took only two days to go from outside the pass to Jiangnan. Now, it is necessary to ride a horse to Jiangnan for a few months, and the road conditions are extremely bad. Not to mention the bandits along the way, even the bumpy road is enough to drag down a patient.

"Don't worry, these minor illnesses are not a big deal." Dong Fusheng shook his head and said, "I have a doctor and follower with me, so they will naturally take care of my body. But if you are here, Liaodong is a dangerous place, you have to be careful!"

"Thank you for your concern, uncle." Li Xin had an ominous premonition in his heart. Men in this era are the pillars. Dong Fusheng was not healthy, and his condition would inevitably worsen after a long journey. If Li Xin was not wrong, Dong Xiaowan might have lost her family business and had to enter a brothel because of losing her father.

"I heard that you fell seriously ill a while ago and even forgot your memories?" Dong Fusheng asked with concern again.

"That's the case." Li Xin said quickly.

"After all, I'm in a foreign land and no one takes care of me." Dong Fusheng thought for a while, and then said to Qiu Hejia: "Brother, I have a request, don't you know if you can agree?"

"Why should you and me be so polite? But if you have any requests, you will agree." Qiu Hejia frowned and said dissatisfied. Looking at Dong Fusheng's appearance, even though he had been ups and downs in the officialdom, his mind and nature had long been tempered by the officialdom, but he was still a little guilty at this moment.

"I want to leave Xiaowan here to take care of Xiner. I wonder if my brother can agree?" Dong Fusheng thought for a while and said.

"Dad!" Dong Xiaowan's face turned sad when she heard this, and her almond eyes suddenly turned red. She gently pulled Dong Fusheng's sleeves. Even if the girl was precocious at this time, she got married at the age of twelve or thirteen or fourteen, she was a child after all.

"This? Is this suitable?" Qiu Hejia was stunned for a moment and said to Dong Fusheng. What he was worried about was something else. Dong Xiaowan was Li Xin's wife who had not passed away, but she had never seen her husband take care of her husband before she passed away! This is inconsistent with ethics!

"The orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. All these have been decided. If Xiaowan had not been young and Brother Xin's filial piety period had not yet expired, I would have thought of marrying Brother Xin to Brother Xin now." Dong Fusheng said indifferently: "Besides, although Xiaowan has not passed away, he is the wife of the Li family. Brother Ren was killed, so Xiaowan also needs to be filial. Staying in Liaodong is considered to have a care!"

Li Xin was moved when he heard this. There were many people who added icing on the cake, but few people helped him in time. Although Dong Fusheng was a merchant, he knew the word "trust" and did not neglect Li Xin as a prisoner. Not only did he come outside the pass, he also wanted his daughter to be filial and serve him. He believed that the so-called "personal escort of 10,000 taels of silver was fake, and the most important thing was to see him. Such a sincere person was really rare.

"Hey! Since you said that, then do what you said!" Qiu Hejia also sighed deeply. He glanced at everyone in the lobby and said, "I will give you some instructions and let someone prepare for Xiaowan's place to live. You and your father-in-law and son-in-law will talk." As he said that, he stood up, shook his head, and sighed deeply.

"Xiaowan, go to the back house. I will talk to Brother Xin." Dong Fusheng patted Dong Xiaowan's jade hand and said softly. Dong Xiaowan looked at Li Xin, then nodded and went straight into the back house.

"Nephew, please follow me around." Dong Fusheng stood up and his body shook a little. Seeing this, Li Xin quickly stepped forward to support Dong Fusheng. Dong Fusheng nodded and let Li Xin support him. The two of them left the flower hall and looked for a path to walk.

"Hey! I'm not good at body bones. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come to Liaodong next time." Dong Fusheng sighed and said, "Xin'er, you have seen it too, and Xiaowan will be handed over to you in the future."

"Why did my father-in-law come to Liaodong even though he knew that his body was not good? Now he has to hurry back to Jiangnan again. How can his body be good?" Li Xin said with a little dissatisfaction.

"I know my body. But have you ever thought about what you should do in the future?" Dong Fusheng looked at Li Xin, his eyes shining, without any slight illness.

"When Your Majesty pardons the world, I will naturally go back." Li Xin said without thinking.

"Haha, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me." Dong Fusheng glanced around, looked for a pavilion, and smiled and said, "You have a big heart. As for how big it is, I don't know, but I know that you won't give your life to others like this."

"I don't understand what my father-in-law is saying." Li Xin was secretly shocked, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I will teach you Wan'er now when Mount Tai collapses. "Don't change his face. "Donald Dong Fusheng nodded and said, "Governor Qiu asked me to take out more money to come. Hehe, I have never seen anything I have traveled around the world. Even if I trained the border army, I have seen it. Xin'er, that guard will definitely be a hundred battles army soon!"

"Oh! Then Jiang Yi and others actually had such a method?" Li Xin's heart skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, Dong Fusheng in front of him looked sick, but had such a vision. No wonder he had ten thousand taels of silver when he took action.

"Jiang Yi is calm, Yang Xiong is righteous, Gao Meng is loyal. With these three people here, and with the guidance of the masters behind it, it is difficult for this army to become an elite soldier, and it is even more difficult for you to not be controlled by you." Dong Fusheng glanced at Li Xin and sneered: "You are a restless person myself."

"My father-in-law misunderstood." Li Xin was secretly surprised that Dong Fusheng in front of him had a pair of golden eyes, and he kept watching the matter. The method of Jiang Yi's training of the army was taught by Li Xin. When he was in the martial arts school, the master of the martial arts school was said to have not only been proficient in martial arts, but also proficient in the way of fighting formations after Yue Fei. Only after Li Xin received his teachings could he be passed on. With the training methods of the army described online, he tinkered with what he is today.

"No matter what you want to do, remember that Xiaowan is a good girl. Don't let her down, otherwise I won't let you go even if I become a ghost." Dong Fusheng stretched out his dry right hand and grabbed Li Xin hard. Although Li Xin was rough and thick-skinned and full of courage, for some reason, he felt a pain at this moment.

"Boy understand." Li Xin nodded and said, "I, Li Xin, will never let Xiaowan down in my lifetime." Don't say that Dong Fusheng came from all the way to visit him and betrothed Xiaowan to him, just for Dong Xiaowan's name, Li Xin would not let Dong Xiaowan fall into a brothel.

"The military management cannot be solely rigorous. Although I have never managed the military, I know how to distinguish between rewards and punishments." Dong Fusheng took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and stuffed them to Li Xin and said, "This is a hundred thousand taels of silver notes, which are the money from Shanxi Money House. Please hold it. Although I have saved a lot in the past few years, I have also spent a lot of them. Even these things are Xiaowan's dowry."

"Father-in-law!" Li Xin was really moved. Dong Fusheng treated him so well, on the one hand, it was because he was Li Gu's son, but more importantly, it was because he was his son-in-law.

"Listen to me." Dong Fusheng frowned and said, "Liaodong is a place that has been waiting for a long time. Now the court is the court. You must find a way to escape early. Although your uncle Qiu is still worried about the past friendship, there are many things that you cannot control in the officialdom. Sometimes, you will definitely give up something."

"Xin'er understands, please don't worry, father-in-law." Li Xin nodded. Dong Fusheng nodded after hearing this. Li Xin in front of him was undoubtedly not such a person. If Li Xin was such a person, he would probably not have taken the guards formed by Qiu Hejia into his own hands. It shows that he is not the kind of person who is waiting to die.

"Haha, your father-in-law and son-in-law are having a great time talking!" At this time, Qiu Hejia led Dong Xiaowan slowly and smiled on his face. Li Xin and Dong Fusheng also stood up and took the opportunity of supporting Dong Fusheng to quietly put the silver notes into their sleeves.

"Brother, just now, I said that my brother had trained an elite soldier, but Xiner looked at him disdainfully and said that the brother's soldiers were not his enemies. Brother, look at his appearance, are they the opponents of those martial artists?" Dong Fusheng laughed.

"Brother, you are wrong." Qiu Hejia's expression moved when he heard this, but he quickly laughed and pointed at Li Xin and said, "I have never seen Brother Xin'er's bravery before, but I know that Gan Huzi, who is famous outside the pass, died at his hands. However, my soldiers under my command are not comparable to Gan Huzi."

"Oh! Xin'er is so powerful? Then I have to see and see." Dong Fusheng said with a look of surprise on his face when he heard this, and said, "Just on the school ground, Gao Meng told me that his young master is extremely powerful and he is not even an opponent. I don't believe it yet? Now after hearing what my brother said, I want to see Xin'er's force. Xin'er, your uncle just said that his soldiers' martial arts are far above Ganhuzi. Why, how dare you compete with your uncle's guard?"

Li Xin was even more moved when he heard this. Dong Fusheng in front of him was spared no effort to help him. He not only relied on rigor and rewards, but more importantly, his prestige. If the commander did not have absolute prestige, he would undoubtedly be unable to command this army. However, Qiu Hejia's guard was trained by Jiang Yi and others based on Li Xin's guidance, and it had already become the prototype of elite soldiers. The funds for this army were also provided by Li Xin's father-in-law, but Qiu Hejia and Jiang Yi knew that the soldiers below did not know. In other words, Li Xin had no authority in this army.

Xin. How can you lead the army without prestige? Establishing prestige in the army is, on the one hand, to win battles, and on the other hand, you can use force to make these people surrender to themselves. Li Xin has force, and can have a full opportunity to establish prestige in this army. Unfortunately, Qiu Hejia does not give himself such opportunities. On the one hand, he does not want Li Xin to embark on the path of a martial artist, and he despises the martial artist in his heart. On the other hand, he is inevitably afraid of Li Xin. Jiang Yi and the other three are Li Xin's subordinates. Once they have too much contact, Jiang Yi and the other two will inevitably lead the army to listen to Li Xin's orders.

Dong Fusheng's words undoubtedly helped Li Xin establish prestige in the army. Li Xin secretly lamented that Dong Fusheng was definitely not a simple person. He probably saw Qiu Hejia's intention, and it was because he was his son-in-law that he helped him in this way.

"My dear body has not yet been cured, so it's better to have more rest. When will I wait for my dear body to recover, it's not too late to let Xiner and his soldiers compete?" Qiu Hejia frowned slightly.

"Brother, I can't stay here for long. I'm taking this opportunity to see Xiner's style." Dong Fusheng shook his head and said, "I want to see if Xiner is bragging. Xiaowan. Let's go and see how your brother Li Shi swept across the army." As he said that, without waiting for Qiu Hejia to refuse, he stepped forward and held Dong Xiaowan's jade hand and walked towards the schoolyard.

"Uncle, what should I do?" Although Li Xin was grateful to Dong Fusheng in his heart and wanted to use his own force to increase the influence in this army, he did not want Qiu Hejia to know. He could only be careful, so he looked at Qiu Hejia as difficult.

"Hey! Your father-in-law is more aware than the sky and his life is thinner than paper. His talent is not inferior to your father and I at all, but his luck is not good. He has no choice but to take care of his cheap career." Qiu Hejia looked at Dong Fusheng's trembling body and shook his head and said, "You go and try it! It's better to make him happy."

"Yes." Li Xin held back the excitement in his heart and nodded. Whether he could intimidate those soldiers depends on this time. Such an opportunity is rare, and Li Xin doesn't want to be wasted like this.

Soon, Li Xin changed into a strong outfit and came to the schoolyard. At this moment, Qiu Hejia and Dong Fusheng sat upright under the dripping eaves, while Dong Xiaowan stood after Dong Fusheng, looking at Li Xin who was slowly coming with some concern.

However, Li Xin did not notice these things, but was attracted by a powerful army in front of him. These men were tall and powerful, and Li Xin saw a trace of fierce light in his eyes. Standing together, he had a formidable momentum. He was worthy of being composed of great men outside the pass, and only such an army could be called elite soldiers. However, Li Xin wanted to step on these soldiers hard today.

"The person in front of me is the loyal and brave descendant of the Ming Dynasty. He is known as the reincarnation of Chu Xiang. I see that you are all elite soldiers and tiger and wolf troops among them. However, my nephew said that you are not his enemy, but I don't believe it, so I set up this ring. Anyone who has been with him for one round will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and anyone who has been with ten rounds will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Haha, if you can defeat my nephew, you can get a hundred taels of silver." Unpredictable, Dong Fusheng stood up and clapped his hands, and saw several servants dragging several trays with red cloth on it. Dong Fusheng stepped forward to lift the red cloth, and saw white silver on it. Shining in the sun, everyone took a breath. Even Qiu Hejia was surprised. Dong Fusheng was so sure!

"Haha, the rest depends on your performance." Dong Fusheng pointed at Jiang Yi and others and said, "Do you know who these three are? These three are your commanders, but no one knows that they were just subordinates of Mr. Li in the past. Their martial arts were all trained by my nephew. It is probably not easy for you to get this money!" Everyone was upset when they heard this. Unexpectedly, their three commanders were trained by the young master in front of them. If the commander's martial arts were like this, how powerful would the young master in front of them be? For a moment, everyone's intention to compete for silver was suddenly much less.
Chapter completed!
