Chapter 52(1/2)
Song Tianming washed his face and drank millet porridge suddenly remembered that Zheng Sheng was leaving today, so he hurriedly went out to see him off.
I happened to meet Cheng Susu and Zhou Yi at the door.
"Husband, are you going to send General Zheng?"
Seeing his hurry, Cheng Susu asked immediately.
"Well, you guys are optimistic about your home..."
Song Tianming was about to leave, but Cheng Susu grabbed him: "Husband, let's go with you."
"Ah?" Song Tianming was stunned, Cheng Susu explained with a smile:
"Apart from the bandits, General Zheng is the benefactor of our Dongpan Township. We naturally have to go and send it with our husband."
"It makes sense." Song Tianming nodded, then grabbed Cheng Susu's waist, which scared Cheng Susu.
"Husband, this is broad daylight..."
"What are you afraid of? You are my wife. I can hug you whatever I want!"
Cheng Susu's face suddenly turned red with shame.
What Song Tianming was thinking about was Zhang Chuchen, covered in blood.
Both are from a lady from a noble family. Cheng Susu can live a peaceful life when she meets her.
Zhang Chuchen was forced to become a bandit, and lived in the shadow of hatred all his life, and finally jumped into the river and died.
Under this world, the difference between people is greater than that between people and animals.
Even Song Tianming, who is full of modern knowledge, will be extremely difficult to protect this small family, and will die forever.
At this time, it is really a bit pedantic to think about what to restrain one's emotions.
Life is short, enjoy timely.
After this battle, Song Tianming had a deep understanding of this sentence.
Looking at the shy beauty in his arms, infinite pride suddenly emerged in his heart.
Originally, he just wanted to keep his family alone.
But now, he realized that he might have more important things to do.
Change this cannibalism!
Even for this family, he must do his best!
In the big square, all the soldiers had packed their luggage.
The villagers of Dongpan Township gathered here spontaneously to see off the soldiers.
Some took some food from their homes, some were clothes and trashed, and some really couldn't get anything, so they were talking to the soldiers.
There is nothing else, because they are heroes from all villages.
Among the people who came to see him off, some of them had sons and husbands, and when they saw them, they seemed to see their relatives on the battlefield.
The eyes of looking at them were full of reluctance.
Zheng Sheng stood at the front of the team, looking at the old clan who held his hands tightly, and was also a little moved:
"Old family leader, let's leave first. The Marquis may come here in person after a while. If we have the fate, we will see you again at that time."
The old lady looked around and said:
"Are you leaving now? Not waiting for Mr. Song?"
The old family grew up and thoughts about love, and it was difficult to express many reluctances, so they could only keep Song Tianming's excuses for a while.
"Cough...it's better not to see you."
Zheng Sheng coughed awkwardly, and after speaking, he turned around and stepped onto the war horse and wanted to leave.
He did not forget that he got drunk yesterday and expressed his admiration for Song Tianming one by one, and even recognized Song Tianming as his godfather.
It's just about kneeling three times and knocking nine times!
If someone hadn't pulled him, it would have made a big joke.
At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came not far away. Song Tianming and his family trotted all the way, and finally arrived before Zheng Sheng left.
"General Zheng, sorry, I drank a little too much yesterday and overslept."
"Brother Xiao Song doesn't have to do this. It's getting late, so we have to set off."
Seeing Song Tianming, Zheng Sheng's old face turned into a pig's liver. He wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it. He quickly turned his head away and refused to look at him, and bowed to everyone around him:
"Famous people, take care of yourself and see you again if you are destined to be together."
After saying that, he rode his horse away without looking back.
The army also disappeared along the village entrance road with him.
Song Tianming felt a little strange. Why was Zheng Sheng very afraid of seeing him?
"Oh, I won't say a few more words."
Looking at their leaving figures, Song Tianming sighed secretly and muttered in a low voice.
What caused the villagers to burst into laughter.
Later, people often said that Mr. Song scared General Zheng away, but he was the only one who didn't understand why, and he thought it was just a joke among the villagers.
It took him a long time to tell him that when he was drunk, he accepted Zheng Sheng as his adopted son, and he realized that it was not a dream.
I also knew the reason why Zheng Sheng was too reluctant to avoid it.
After Zheng Sheng left, the situation around Dongpan Township suddenly became much more stable.
The Dingbei Army's record of eliminating the Niushou Mountain bandits was spread across ten, and it soon spread throughout Xiahe County, and even the county town was known.
Song Tianming's name also resounded throughout the county.
Almost everyone knows that Song Tianming and Dingbei Army have a deep relationship. It is precisely to help Song Tianming that Dingbei Army took action to suppress bandits.
The transmission is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.
Some young bandits around him gradually disappeared, either hiding in the deep mountains and not daring to wander around Xiahe County, or simply leaving here to find another mountain.
The public security around Xiahe County has improved a lot.
Song Tianming and his friends never encountered any obstacles when they went to the city to sell goods. The business became more and more prosperous because of their reputation.
"Sir, this trip to the city is the most secure time I have been away during this period."
Cheng Hu counted the copper coins and couldn't help but rise wildly.
"I hope this will always be the case." Song Tianming was calmer.
Fame has indeed brought a lot of benefits to myself.
On the seventh day after Zheng Sheng left, they came to Xiahe County again.
This time, not only were there no bandits along the way, but there were even cargo transport teams on the same route recognized Song Tianming and offered to help them carry goods, saving a lot of trouble.
However, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Song Tianming knew that when he became famous, his strength had to keep up.
Otherwise, it's just a flower stand that can't withstand the wind and rain.
The three of them wandered around the market for a while, bought some things, and before they knew it, they actually arrived at the entrance of Tianxiang Tower.
Today, Tianxianglou has a more prosperous business because of its unique pickled fish, attracting many diners who come to taste it.
For this reason, the consumption level in restaurants has also risen again and again, almost comparable to those of the big restaurants in the county, and has become a golden signboard in Xiahe County.
"Let's go, I'll give you some meat today!"
Song Tianming waved his hand and stepped into the Tianxiang Tower Gate.
Cheng Hu and Er Niu were immediately overjoyed.
They have never entered Tianxianglou yet!
They knew that Song Tianming had a different relationship with Qian Dafu, and many dishes from Tianxianglou were provided by Song Tianming. Isn’t it simple to go in for a meal?
Of course, Song Tianming is not just about having a meal.
He had heard from the old Liege that when he was kidnapped by bandits, the Liege asked Hai Dafu for help, but it was left alone.
I thought Qian Dafu didn't help him, but later I heard from others that it was the county magistrate who was suppressing this matter and did not want to send troops to rescue people.
For this reason, Qian Dafu went to the county government alone to make a big fuss.
His status in Xiahe County is now special, and even the county magistrate has to let him score three points, hiding in the house and not daring to see him.
To put it bluntly, it was just a business partnership. In this case, Qian Dafu didn't help him and it was reasonable to separate the relationship.
However, Qian Dafu chose to break up with the county magistrate and protect Song Tianming for peace, which moved him very much.
Whether it’s sincere or show-off, people have put forward this attitude.
He called for Tianxianglou today, and wanted to thank Qian Dafu specifically.
