It was late at night and the dew was heavy and the wind was gushing. In the quiet courtyard, Dou Xiantong, who was wearing a slightly thin dress, was walking slowly in the corridor outside the door, frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Fairy boy, you haven't slept yet so late?" A sudden voice sounded. Dou Xiantong looked up and saw that she was wearing a tight white dress. The handsome and elegant Shan Ximu came to the yard at some point, and was looking at herself with a smile: "Why, has Ding Shan not come back yet?"

Dou Xiantong shook her head and frowned even more: "Ding Shan is taking care of her father-in-law."

"Oh!" Shan Ximu, who suddenly nodded, couldn't help but persuade: "Fairy boy, Marshal Xue's cold poison is too urgent. Don't worry too much, take a break early!"

As he said that, Shan Ximu said goodbye and left.

Dou Xiantong, who personally sent Shan Ximu away and returned to the room, sat on the bed without any sleepiness.

That night, Dou Xiantong didn't sleep at all. He stood up until it was dawn. As if he had made some decision, a firm look flashed in his beautiful eyes, and his jade hands clenched slightly and walked out of the room.

When the rooster crowed for the fifth time and the sun jumped out of the horizon, Liu Yinhuan and Zhaoyang's residence were slowly rising, the sisters didn't have much rest all night. They got up early to wash up. They were talking and were about to go see Xue Rengui together, but they saw their daughter-in-law Dou Xiantong personally delivered breakfast.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was so sensible and filial, Liu Yinhuan and Zhaoyang were relieved, and they couldn't let Dou Xiantong down. After having breakfast, they went to see Xue Rengui together.

Dou Xiantong used the excuse of preparing breakfast for Xue Dingshan, but did not go with her. After Liu Yinhuan and Zhaoyang left, she asked Cheng Yaojin's residence all the way and looked for her. Unfortunately, Cheng Yaojin was not at her residence, but went to see Xu Maogong. In desperation, Dou Xiantong had to find Xu Maogong's residence directly.

In the simple and quaint bedroom, Xu Mao, with a haggard face, lay on the bed, talking with Cheng Yaojin sitting beside the bed with a smile.

"You said you are so old, you are so old, and you are still as young as a young man, trying your best to do the rescue. Do so many soldiers around you eat? Do you need you, an old man who has no power to tie a chicken?" Cheng Yaojin kept chattering complaining.

Xu Maogong smiled faintly and said, "Eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king! As a minister, how can we not save the king's father? Old Cheng, if the emperor has any good fortune, you should know how serious the consequences will be. I am old and have not had much time to save the emperor's life. Even if I die, I will have no regrets. The emperor and the emperor have great trust in me. If I see the emperor in danger in front of me, how can I meet the emperor with a face when I die in the future!"

"Okay! You always have a lot of reasons. I can't tell you!" Cheng Yaojin said helplessly: "You are loyal to the emperor, but the emperor is to us ministers."

Cheng Yaojin said, shook his head and sighed, "You may not know yet. Before I came, I heard that the emperor had appointed Li Luanhu as General Fenwei and asked him to preside over the defense of the west gate of Suoyang City. After all, what the emperor trusted was the Li clan!"

"This is a matter of course! Old Cheng, you are too sensitive!" Xu Maogong shook his head calmly and said, "Now Rengui and I have fallen down and cannot handle military affairs. The emperor is also in a state of anxiety. There is nothing wrong with promoting the backwards. If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will still let Ding Shan temporarily take over the position of marshal."

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "I told the emperor about the specific situation of Li Luanhu leaving the second army, but the emperor obviously didn't believe it. He believed that Shan Ximu and Ding Shan and others excluded Li Luanhu."

"Hey! The emperor is a good emperor. He just protects his shortcomings!" Xu Maogong sighed softly: "But, people are not sages, how can they be perfect? ​​Old Cheng! It's okay if you complain to me for some words."

Cheng Yaojin glared at Xu Maogong and said angrily: "Do you think I am an ignorant boy? Do you want you to tell me?"

"Master, Duke of Lu, Mrs. Xue is asking for a meeting!" An old servant in his fifties and sixties looked thin in his green shirt came in and reported.

Mrs. Xue Yaojin and Xu Maogong looked at each other with a little surprise. Then, Xu Maogong, who had a soft look, ordered the thin old servant in the green shirt, "Please wait in the living room and serve you some refreshments and greet me. I and Duke Lu will go immediately."

"Yes, lord!" The thin old servant in the green shirt, who responded respectfully, quickly turned around and left.

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "I said, "You are not in good health, don't force yourself out. The girl Xiantong is just a junior and can't afford to greet you with such a big gift. I'll just go and see what she has to do?"

"It's okay! My body is clear, and I won't go to see the old emperor for a while," Xu Maogong, who shook his head, said with a faint smile: "They are all here, so I can't rely on my seniority. Moreover, I also want to see how this lady from Dingshan."

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips slightly: "You want to know what happened to the fairy boy, right?"

"Don't you want to know?" Xu Maogong asked with a smile.

Cheng Yaojin, who was unquestionable, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a righteous expression: "It would be great if it was really for that. But I really don't believe it! After all, how can the treasures like the Nine Yang Divine Pearl be so easy to get?"

"Okay! Just go and have a look," said Xu Maogong, dragging his sick body into his clothes and getting out of bed with Cheng Yaojin.

In the living room, Dou Xiantong held a cup of tea in his hand. When he was nervous, he used a little more force on his hand, which actually cracked the tea cup. The hot tea water oozed out, making Dou Xiantong cry low, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground, with a crisp sound.

"Afu, I'll give you another cup of tea for Mrs. Xue!" A gentle voice with a slight sense of weakness sounded, and Xu Maogong and Cheng Yaojin happened to come to the living room.

Dou Xiantong hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The fairy boy has met Mr. Xu, Grandpa Cheng! The fairy boy is rude!"

"It's indeed rude!" Xu Maogong chuckled and said, "You call Grandpa Cheng of Lu, but you call me Junshi Xu. Wouldn't you be a stranger?"

Cheng Yaojin glared at Xu Maogong angrily, then grinned at Dou Xiantong, "Fairy Child! Since Niu Nose doesn't like you to call him Junshi Xu, please call him Grandpa Xu."

"Grandpa Xu!" Dou Xiantong obediently and obediently said to Xu Maogong with a little blessing.

Xu Maogong smiled and nodded. He sat down on the host and guest seat of the living room with Cheng Yaojin, and hurriedly greeted Dou Xiantong: "Fairy Tong! Don't be polite! Let's sit there! You came to me and your Grandpa Cheng today. I guess there must be something important, right?"

"Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Cheng!" Dou Xiantong said, but stood up and knelt down to the two of them, "Before talking about this, Xiantong dared to ask the two grandpas to let the three of us know about this matter. Don't talk about the fourth person anymore, can you?"

Xu Maogong and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other in surprise, then nodded with a flash of eyes and said, "Okay! I promise you! Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's really hard to hide it. Fairy Child has a Nine Yang Divine Bead on her body!" Dou Xiantong took a deep breath and said.

"Nine Yang Divine Pearl?" Cheng Yaojin stood up and stared at Dou Xiantong: "Do you really have Nine Yang Divine Pearl?"

Although Xu Maogong was much more calm, he couldn't help but look at Dou Xiantong nervously and expectantly at this moment.

"Please look, two grandpas!" Dou Xiantong said as he reached out and pulled out a pendant from the neck of his shirt. It was a red bead that vaguely exuded a blazing breath.

"It's really the Nine Yang Divine Pearl? That's great!" Cheng Yaojin felt the temperature around him slowly rising. He couldn't help but say surprise.

Xu Maogong frowned slightly, looking at Dou Xiantong, who had a pretty face slightly white and a delicate body trembling: "Fairy Tong, if I read it correctly, there should be strange cold poison in your body. This Nine Yang Divine Pearl was suppressed. You will take out the Nine Yang Divine Pearl today."

"Grandpa Xu is as bright as a jujube!" Dou Xiantong smiled and shook his head, "The fairy boy was indeed invaded by cold poison in his early years and almost died. However, it is no longer a big deal to have the Nine Yang Divine Pearl protected his body over the years and dissolved the cold poison in his body. Even without the Nine Yang Divine Pearl, there is no worries about his life. Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Cheng used the Nine Yang Divine Pearl to save his father-in-law's life. However, the two grandpas must remember to promise me that they cannot tell Ding Shan, Niang and Er Niang about this. I don't want them to worry about me. Or because of this, I feel that I owe me anything."

Xu Maogong was slightly moved when he heard this, and looked at Dou Xiantong deeply before nodding and responding: "Okay. We promise you!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Xu!" Dou Xiantong said as she stood up and handed the Nine Yang Divine Pearl to Xu Maogong: "Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Cheng, I have to prepare breakfast for Dingshan, so I will leave first."

Looking at Dou Xiantong's departure back, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but sigh: "Ding Shan has married a good wife!"

"The fairy boy does not have the Nine Yang Divine Pearl to protect her body. The cold poison attacks. Even if she does not have the worries of life, she will be in great pain!" Xu Maogong also shook his head and sighed: "This girl is going to suffer!"

As he said that, Xu Maogong quickly turned his head and looked at Cheng Yaojin: "Old Cheng, quickly send the Nine Yang Divine Pearl to Rengui for taking. This Nine Yang Divine Pearl has suppressed cold poison for many years, and its energy will not be so violent. Rengui's current situation is just right, so there should be no accident."

"Okay! Bull's nose, you have a good rest! I'll go now!" Cheng Yaojin said as he took the Nine Yang Divine Pearl and left in a blink of an eye.

When Cheng Yaojin left, Xu Maogong shook his head and murmured: "Fairy boy, you have good intentions, but Rengui's stubborn donkey is afraid that people will grow old and their temper will be easy to twist! Rengui has long lost the spirit of Zhengdong back then. Time urges people to grow old, and I am afraid that there will be no more time. I am unable to deal with these things."

Xue Rengui lives in the water attic. When Cheng Yaojin came with the Nine Yang Divine Pearl, Xue Dingshan, Liu Yinhuan, Zhaoyang and Xue Jinlian were all here.

When Cheng Yaojin said that he had found the Nine Yang Divine Pearl, everyone was surprised.

"Old Cheng Qiansui, where did you get the Nine Yang Divine Pearl?" Xue Dingshan couldn't help but ask in curiosity.

"Hey! Don't worry about where it came from, I'll give it to your father first," Cheng Yaojin said, and greeted the doctor not far away, "Go and get a bowl of water!"

The doctor responded quickly and soon brought a bowl of water.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Cheng Yaojin put the Nine Yang Divine Pearl into the water, and the Nine Yang Divine Pearl melted in an instant. At the same time, the bowl of water also slightly raised water vapor, as if it turned into a bowl of hot water.

"Come on, Dingshan, let's drink it for your father!" At Cheng Yaojin's instructions, Xue Dingshan hurriedly picked up the bowl of water and came to the bedside, and carefully fed Xue Rengui to drink.

After drinking the water transformed from the Nine Yang Divine Bead, Xue Rengui's face suddenly returned to his blush at a speed visible to the naked eye. His breath became clear and thicker, and his chest was slightly undulating. In just a moment, his brows trembled and opened his eyes. A painful cry came out of his mouth: "Ah! Kill me so hard!"

"Father!" "Rengui!"

Xue Dingshan, Liu Yinhuan and others surrounded him in surprise and excitement, and looked at Xue Rengui nervously, who opened his eyes in a daze and struggled to get up. At this time, Xue Rengui was crying pain, but his body had already recovered. His consciousness was still at the time when he was injured by Suoyang City and Su Baotong on the battlefield outside Suoyang City.

Soon, Xue Rengui, who had come to his senses and even Qingming, sat on the bed, looked at Liu Yinhuan, Zhaoyang, Xue Jinlian and others in front of him. He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Why are you here? Where am I?"

"Father, this is Suoyang City!" Xue Dingshan hurriedly said.

Father Xue Rengui turned his head to look at Xue Dingshan in surprise. He couldn't help but look excited and said hurriedly: "Are you Dingshan? Child, are you still alive?"

"Father, although you injured your child with one arrow back then, fortunately I was saved by my teacher, Wang Ao Zu. I followed him to learn the skills. The teacher calculated that my father was in trouble. This time I asked the child to go down the mountain to save his father!" Xue Dingshan explained briefly.

Xue Jinlian said proudly, "Father, you don't know. Brother, this time, he won the position of Marshal of the Second Army, and even solved the trap of Suoyang City, killed Su Bao and the same fallen water, and wiped out his hundreds of thousands of troops!"

"Oh?" Xue Rengui's eyes lit up as he heard this, and looked at Xue Dingshan in surprise, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay! My son is so good! Dingshan. You have not disappointed my father! You can serve the country and make such military achievements. My father is proud and proud!"

Xue Dingshan's face turned slightly red when Xue Rengui said this. Looking at his son's appearance, Xue Rengui couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, where is the fairy boy? Ding Shan, go and ask her to come and pay tribute to your father!" Liu Yinhuan, who also had a smile on his face, said as he hurriedly ordered Xue Dingshan.

Xue Dingshan, who responded, hurriedly accused Xue Rengui and stood up and left.

Xue Rengui looked at his son's departure back and frowned and puzzled, "Fairy Child?"

"Father, that's the eldest sister-in-law! Didn't you expect that? Brother has got married," Xue Jinlian laughed.

"This boy!" Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed and looked at Liu Yinhuan and said, "Madam, why are you so anxious? We are still keeping my father in the dark after marrying Dingshan so quickly! By the way, Madam, who is the rich family Dingshan married? What kind of lady is the lady of the imperial concubine? The wife can trust her husband, and the daughter-in-law must be the same."

Before Liu Yinhuan could speak, Xue Jinlian pursed her lips and said, "Father, you guessed it wrong now. My sister-in-law is not a powerful lady who doesn't leave the door, and she is a heroine with great martial arts skills. I'm afraid my father would never have thought that my sister-in-law was the leader of a bandit before!"

"What?" Listening to Xue Jinlian's words, Xue Rengui immediately smiled and his anger appeared: "Ding Shan actually married a bandit Man Po? Madam, what's wrong with you? You arranged Ding Shan's marriage like this? It's ridiculous!"

Zhaoyang hurriedly said, "My husband, don't be excited, there is something else in this matter."

"I'll say it!" Cheng Yaojin, on the side, roughly talked about the story of Xue Dingshan marrying Dou Xiantong.

After hearing this, Xue Rengui became even more angry: "What? He actually threatened my son to marry her! He was really shameless!"

"Rengui, you said this a bit too much!" Cheng Yaojin frowned and couldn't see it when he heard it: "This fairy boy Dou was deeply in love with Ding Shan. When he unlocked the siege of Yangcheng, he even stood up to save Ding Shan. Otherwise, Ding Shan would not be able to come to see you intact. His brother and righteous brother also made contributions to the court. That's right, they used to be bandits, but now they have surrendered to the court? Lao Cheng, I used to do this business, do you look down on me Lao Cheng?"

Xue Rengui waved his hand as soon as he heard this and said, "Old Cheng, Qiansui, that's not what I mean!"

"Okay, my husband, you have never met a fairy child. How can you make a conclusion that this daughter-in-law is not good? If it is not good, will my sister agree with this daughter-in-law? Will Ding Shan be willing to marry her?" Zhaoyang also said hurriedly.

Xue Rengui was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Liu Yinhuan, who was silent and a little frustrated, and his temper softened: "Okay! Then let's talk about it. If I'm not satisfied, I will never agree with this daughter-in-law."

Xue Rengui felt that he was in debt and would not argue with her. But this time, his son Xue Dingshan married without his consent, and Liu Yinhuan had never discussed it with him. Although there was a reason, Xue Rengui felt uncomfortable. When he heard that his son married a bandit, Xue Rengui naturally could not accept it. He wanted to be the king of kings and his son married a bandit. Where would he put his face?

I have to say that as old as I am, people's thoughts are always easily affected by the environment and identity, and their temperaments are also easily becoming stubborn.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Xue Rengui couldn't help but frown: "What's going on? Ding Shan hasn't come back yet?"

"Ha! My daughter-in-law is so arrogant. Do you want me to wait for her?" Xue Rengui smiled in anger.

Liu Yinhuan looked at Xue Rengui helplessly: "Rengui! Maybe something has been delayed. Such a small thing is worthy of your anger?"

"A small matter?" Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "Since I got married, I can't be as bandit as a bandit. She thinks seeing me is a small matter? Then what is a big matter? You can't let her be too casual because your son spoils her."

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but say, "Oh, I said Rengui, you."

"Old Mr. Cheng! This is our housework. You shouldn't be too careful, right?" Xue Rengui asked back.

Cheng Yaojin, who was choked by Xue Rengui's words, stared at Xue Rengui's face slightly flushed, and then shook his head and said, "Okay! I don't care about your housework! I don't care!"

"Old Cheng Qiansui!" Liu Yinhuan couldn't help but look at Xue Rengui with complaint: "Rengui, if Mr Cheng Qiansui hadn't found the Nine Yang Divine Pearl to save your life, you would still be in a coma now!"

When Xue Rengui heard this, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Yaojin, who was standing beside him with a little guilty conscience, and then smiled helplessly: "Old Cheng! I know, you pamper the younger generation. However, Ding Shan, you can't be too tempted by this child, otherwise he might have caused a big mistake with his own skills! Young people cannot just live by!"

"Ding Shan is more sensible than you!" Cheng Yaojin, who was not angry, turned around and did not look at Xue Rengui.

Seeing this, Xue Jinlian almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Grandpa Cheng is so old and still has such a childish character. He is really an old child!

Xue Rengui was stunned, and then he was amused and helpless, and he felt bitter and helpless. (To be continued...)
