Chapter 539: A veteran of many battles bows to the general, two regrets in his life disappear today

"Xu is a good boy. That kid is lovable!"

The two brothers Xu Yongguan and Xu Xiao were very close to each other and had a great time chatting with each other. They talked about their children and grandchildren, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative, and they talked endlessly.

"You're just praising him, but you don't know that my son is very naughty. He makes trouble all day long, doesn't strive for advancement, and is greedy for pleasure. Everyone says he has no future and his achievements will be limited in the future!"

Xu Xiao was very distressed when he thought that his son did not want to take charge of Beiliang and only wanted to be a dissolute prince. The situation between Beiliang, Beimang and Liyang was about to break out. As the prince of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian was too soft-hearted. , not vicious enough, Xu Xiao is afraid that Xu Xiao will not be able to bear this heavy responsibility in the future.

"That's because those people are blind, not an old man. I'm boasting. Although I'm blind, my heart is clear and I can see people more accurately than ordinary people. Xu Xiaozi will definitely not be a thing in the pond in the future. Now he just hides the dragon. Don't use it. The dragon is hidden in the abyss." That’s it!”

Xu Yongguan was blind, he could feel the pride in Xu Fengnian's heart, and knew Xu Fengnian's edge, so he said firmly.

Xu Xiao glanced at Xu Yongguan in surprise. He did not expect that the cavalryman at the end of Yuguying in front of him was so knowledgeable and knew the "Book of Changes".

Naturally, Xu Yongguan didn't know what Xu Xiao was thinking. After all, he didn't know anything about it himself. He had just stayed with Xu Zongjia for a long time, and he had gained some knowledge and insights under the influence of subtle influences, without realizing the changes in himself. .

"Then let me borrow your good words, brother, and hope that this boy of mine can make progress!"

Xu Xiao sighed. All parents worry a lot about their children and are afraid that their arrangements are not careful.

"Not to mention that careless boy of mine, brother, Lingsun is quite a talented person!"

Xu Xiao changed the topic to Xu Zongjia. When he met Xu Zongjia for the first time, he never thought that a figure like Xu Zongjia, who was relegated to immortality, could be the descendant of the old man in front of him. Xu Xiao even thought unkindly whether Xu Zongjia had no idea at all. Not a descendant of Xu Yongguan.

"Brother, if you praise other things, I might be a little more modest, but when it comes to my grandson, he is indeed very outstanding. If he hadn't been born in my family, he would probably be a celebrity all over the world!"

A sad look appeared on Xu Yongguan's face. Xu Zongjia's future had always been his concern, and he felt very guilty about it.

"Speaking of which, I really have something to ask of you!"

Xu Yong's concern came back to his mind three years ago. He brought up the old things again and asked with a solemn expression.

"Brother, just say it."

Xu Xiao put away the smile on his face slightly, thought about it, and felt that his family was ashamed of Xu Yongguan, and said in a deep voice.

"My grandson is born to like reading. Look at the books in this room, all of which were copied by my grandson himself!"

Xu Yongguan pointed to the large jujube wood box in the corner. There were five boxes full of books, but the books were really simple and made of straw paper.

Only then did Xu Xiao notice these books, with a look of shock in his eyes. He didn't expect Xu Zongjia to be so studious and admirable.

"It's just that I can't afford him to study due to my conditions, so today I'm shameless and want to ask my brother to help me find a famous teacher so that he can study hard so that he can succeed in his studies and jump out of the quagmire in the future. Not here. Eat inside!"

"This is a simple matter, I agree!"

Xu Xiao is also a person who cherishes talents. When he first met Xu Zongjia, he thought that Xu Zongjia was not a mediocre person. Now that he saw that Xu Zongjia was so studious, he appreciated him even more, so he happily agreed to this request.

"So, thank you very much!"

Xu Yongguan stood up, bowed tremblingly in the direction of Xu Xiao, and solemnly expressed his gratitude.

"Brother, what are you talking about! Get up quickly!"

Xu Xiao quickly stood up and held Xu Yongguan's arm, stopping him from continuing to thank him.

"Brother, you are too polite. I have some status in Beiliang. This matter is just a trivial matter. There is no need to do this!"

"It's a small thing for you, but for me it's one of the two biggest regrets in my life!"

Xu Yongguan said easily, with joy in his expression, saying that these are two major regrets, and life is more than just two major regrets. It's just that other things are no longer possible, and only these two things are still possible.

When Xu Xiao heard this, he showed some interest. He had already helped solve the problem of Xu Zongjia's study, and he became a little curious about Xu Yongguan's second regret.

"Brother, why don't you tell me in detail, what is your other regret?"

Xu Xiao has already thought about it. As long as he can complete it, he can help Xu Yongguan complete it. He will not let him have any regrets. After all, he is a veteran under his command. He has fought with him for thirty years and ended up blind and lame. I felt extremely guilty for not taking good care of him.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say this. I have been fighting under the King of Northern Liang for thirty years. I have been ridden by spring and autumn, and my body is covered with wounds, but I have never seen the general. This is the first regret in my life!"

Xu Yongguan was a little shy and embarrassed. He rubbed his dry hands and fidgeted.

"Brother, I see that you are not an ordinary person. You should have some status in Beiliang. I wonder if you have ever met the general. Can you tell me about the general's appearance and majesty so that I can have an idea? This impression saves me from going back underground and asking the old brothers from Yugu Camp, but I don’t know anything about it. It’s really embarrassing!”

Xu Yongguan was already emotional at this time. In the past thirty years, many Paoze brothers have been buried in horse leather and unable to return to Beiliang. Xu Yongguan is already buried up to his neck. He always thinks of these old brothers of his, often Can't sleep at night.

Xu Xiao's expression froze, and his whole aura collapsed. He bent down and looked up at the blind old man in front of him, holding his hands tightly together. He was a little embarrassed to face this low-ranking cavalryman from the Yugu Camp. He was helpless. Face to face with the brothers who followed him through life and death, Beiliang, this was built with the blood of many people, and it must not decline in his own hands.

Xu Xiao regained his energy and straightened up, but kept rubbing his hands. Those who didn't know thought it was because Xu Yongguan's home was cold and he had to do this.

"Xu Xiao is just a hunchbacked old soldier, what's there to see?"

Hearing this, Xu Yongguan went crazy. Who in the world could say this except Xu Xiao himself. He spent thirty years of courage to fight in six countries, spent ten years of struggling to survive, suppressed his crying, stood up, clenched his right hand into a fist, and hit his chest hard, There was a dull sound. Although his body was already old and no longer had the strength to fight. Although he was not wearing a battle armor at this time, and the military salute was not as powerful as before, Xu Yongguan still straightened his back with all his strength and raised one knee. Kneel down and shout loudly.

"Xu Yongguan, the last cavalryman of Yugu Camp, one of the eighteen old camps in Jinzhou, pays homage to General Xu!"

Xu Xiao's face was full of emotion. He stood up suddenly and looked at the cavalry in front of him. He seemed to be seeing the scene of thirty years ago, which was very sad.
