"I went to the Bureau of Military Personnel to check Zhu Xiong's records.”
"Sixteen years old, living in Beiping's Ansha Town, a merchant. Six months ago, he responded to the recruitment of soldiers by the Ministry of War and joined the Beiping Army to participate in the war against the Northern Yuan.”Xu Zengshou said in a deep voice.
All the soldiers who joined the army would be sent to the Ministry of War after they were registered at the recruitment site.
Xu Zengshou was a member of the Ministry of War, so he naturally knew about it.
"Why did the King of Yan mention Zhu Xiong on the news? Could it be that he had made some great contributions?”Xu Yingxu frowned.
"In the battle of our Ming Dynasty attacking Northern Yuan, Zhu Xiong made two great contributions.”
"The first one was to kill the general of the Yuan Army with arrows under the surprise attack of the 30,000 Yuan Army. The second one was to break through the border city of Northern Yuan and kill Wang Baobao.”
"Now that his battle achievements are not small, he has already been promoted to the position of garrison.”Xu Zengshou said everything he knew in one breath.
"He has become a fifth-grade garrison?" Xu Yingxu's expression changed completely.
This was not good news for them.
If it wasn't for the humiliation Zhu Xiong had suffered when he had brought Xu Miaojin back, perhaps they wouldn't have been so affected. But now, Zhu Xiong had successfully changed his identity and even became a garrison at such a young age. His name had even reached the ears of the current Emperor.
In the future, if they killed Zhu Xiong and brought him to the Ying Tian Prefecture, not only would they lose face, but they would also be severely reprimanded.
Then, everyone in the world would know that the Xu family looked down on others. This would definitely be laughed at and would tarnish his father's reputation.
"Yes."
"What should we do, Second Brother?" Xu Zengshou nodded. If that kid comes to the Ying Tian Prefecture in the future and tells about what happened half a year ago, my Xu family will probably end up as a joke for looking down on others.”
"For now, should we find that kid and make peace?”
"A sixteen-year-old garrison is one of a kind in my Great Ming. He is also worthy of Little Sister.”
Hearing Xu Zengshou's words, Xu Yingxu shook his head and said coldly,""I, the descendant of the Prince of Zhongshan, want to sue for peace with a merchant. If this gets out, it will be even more embarrassing.”
"Then what should we do?"
"This kid is already a garrison guard and has even been put in an important position by His Highness the King of Yan. He will definitely come to the Ying Tian Manor in the future.”
"Do you think we can stop him?”Xu Zengshou frowned.
This matter came so suddenly that it completely stunned the two brothers.
They had never thought that Zhu Xiong would stand out in the army.
In their imaginations, Zhu Xiong would die in the chaos of the battlefield, so they would not have to worry at all.
And now.
Zhu Xiong was the youngest garrison in the entire Ming Empire. His name was known to the Emperor, and it represented a boundless future. This was even worse than living on the battlefield.
To the two Xu Yingxu brothers, they were born in a rich and powerful family, and there was a kind of so-called arrogance carved into their bones. That day, when they saw Zhu Xiong's domineering attitude, it was a reflection of this.
Now, the situation had changed.
For ordinary people, as long as they approached and made peace normally, there would not be any major issues.
However, for these two self-righteous rich and powerful people, they naturally couldn't bear to lower their status and ask for peace. This was a humiliation to them.
"Is there anyone from the Xu family in the Beiping army?”Xu Yingxu's expression gradually turned gloomy.
"Second brother, do you want to?" Xu Zengshou's expression changed.
"The Xu family can't lose face."
"Second brother, you should understand what I mean.”Xu Yingxu's tone turned cold.
"But…his identity is no longer a soldier, but a garrison officer of the official residence, a fifth-grade official.”Xu Zengshou looked hesitant. He felt that this matter might not be so extreme.
But Xu Yingxu seemed to have made up his mind.
He didn't want his pride to be humiliated.
Perhaps.
Most of the wealthy and powerful people were also arrogant. They would rather die than lower their status.
"Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Let alone a garrison, so what if he's a Rank-4 or Rank-3?”
"If he dies, my Xu family can rest assured.”
"Go do it." Xu Yingxu went completely crazy.
At this moment.
The officials of the Public House quickly came to the door of the two people's room.
"Second Master, Fourth Master."
"I'm waiting for you in the main hall.”
The butler said loudly.
"Big brother told us not to talk nonsense later.”Xu Yingxu immediately warned Xu Zengshou.
"Yes." Xu Zengshou nodded.
The two of them headed towards the main hall of the High Duke's Public House where Xu Huizu was.
"Big brother."
The moment he entered the hall.
Xu Yingxu and Xu Huizu bowed respectfully.
Following Xu Da's passing, the eldest son, Xu Huizu, inherited the position of Duke. He was also greatly favored by the heavens. The eldest brother was also like a father, and his siblings naturally respected him very much.
"What's wrong with little sister?”
"Ever since you found her in Beiping, she has rarely appeared.”
"Tell me, what happened to my little sister?”Xu Huizu asked his two younger brothers.
