Stepping on the familiar land, Ziyun couldn't help but speed up his pace, and the hatred hidden in his heart slowly became clear.

Half a month ago, the fleet that had been traveling for nearly two months finally returned to Huadu, and saw the eldest lady of the craftsman again, Kou Xueying, and learned of the destruction of Xiana City and the death of her confidant best friend Princess Hena, Kou Xueying was also embarrassed, and for Prince Pobitsch who escaped, she was 10,000 years down, but Princess Hena's last desperate letter also had the meaning of entrusting her to take care of her younger brother, Kou Xueying could only reluctantly take care of it, provided that this fool did not die by himself.

Sanxiao made a plan on the road, and the information that Kou Xueying gave them was only that Lin Yue mysteriously disappeared after the Battle of Shudi. Therefore, Kou Xueying did not object to the idea of three small groups acting separately, since Haole wanted to stay in Huadu, he was not afraid of losing contact with them. She had seen that Trench had a talent for business. He would be a good businessman, but unfortunately he could not be a good businessman.

To be a businessman, as long as you take care of your own business, and a good businessman, highlight a 'businessman'. Traders who have a good amount of business and compromise are businessmen, they don't see that they are now this one-third of an acre, and the government, and the underworld, and the rivers and lakes, and the side door and left all aspects must be taken care of, Ci is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, Kou Xueying can see that he has talent, but he has no heart, and he is just a harmless small businessman, if his plate is getting bigger and bigger, blocking the way of some business veterans, I am afraid that he will be played by others and there will be nothing left. Therefore, Kou Xueying is still ready to take care of him to the greatest extent and try to cooperate with him instead of letting him be independent, which can be regarded as selling Lin Yue's face.

......

After settling everything, Ziyun embarked on the journey home. And in his heart, he remembered the events of that year. At the beginning, he relied on a pair of legs and feet and amazing perseverance, and followed Lin Yue for thousands of miles to apprentice, which led to some of today's achievements, and now his comparison is much stronger than when he was in the rivers and lakes.

Along the way, looking at the dilapidated scene near his hometown, Ziyun was expressionless but sad and angry in his heart, since the death of Song Hou Gao Shuhai, the Song Kingdom can be regarded as a real existence, and the original little brothers under the command of Song Hou are also doing their own thing. Nominally, the Marquis of Song was still the lord of the Song land. In fact, large and small cities were controlled by the middle and lower-level officers of the Song army.

They frantically squeezed and plundered inside, and clashed with each other, and even had a disagreement between the generals of the two cities, each gathering troops to fight outside the city, but the top of the army played cards and drank together in the city, and divided the victory and defeat in their respective interests, which can be said to be a great wonder of the Great Zhou Dynasty. And when external forces attack, each other retains their own strength, sits back and watches others perish, and then reaps the benefits of the fisherman.

As a result, the Suzaku Dynasty, a newly established state in the south, invaded the Great Zhou Dynasty in the north, declared war in the name of avenging its fellow clansmen, and defeated the old Song Hou in just 20 days, and broke through the three prefectures of Ning, Jian, and Lu in Nanzhao County in one fell swoop, and the troops were on the south side of Shu. The territory occupied by the original Song Hou Yijun was only left in the Hezhou area and several adjacent county seats.

I remembered that when the master took me as an apprentice, he asked why he insisted on learning his skills when his great revenge had already been avenged, and he replied loudly: His enemies are by no means just a high-ranking sea, but those who use the name of heaven and the people to do things that take power and profit, so those traitors and princes are their enemies.

Gripping the weapon tightly, Ziyun was solemn, of course he had to find a way to solve the chaos here, and he had another important matter, that is, to find his maid Zhuge Leng.

Zhuge Leng is a noble background, but only orphans and widows are left in the family, and he was driven out by the clansmen, in addition to himself, his mother also brought a younger brother and a younger sister, in order to live she voluntarily sold herself into slavery, at that time happened to meet the earl young master Ziyun, Ziyun gave her all his savings, and said that she did not need to be a slave.

But the stubborn Zhuge Leng accepted the money and wanted to fulfill his promise, so he insisted on staying and being a maid, to be honest, she was really not qualified as a maid, she couldn't do housework well, she couldn't do food well, and she almost couldn't do anything. But Ziyun still regards her as the most important family member.

Since the family was in trouble, Ziyun and the maid Zhuge Leng escaped. The group of refugees followed them all the way, but on the way, they encountered the army of Song Hou, who were arresting the exiles as slaves. It's really ridiculous that the people who had suffered and sinned, once they had the power in their hands and became a superior person, began to enslave others. Just as the poisonous Ji Ye Meidie said at the beginning: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road? These frozen bones enter Zhumen, and the wine and meat stink.

The two ran forward with the flow of people, and the bows and arrows shot from behind knocked down the others, and Ziyun stumbled and fell off the cliff. When he fell, he vaguely saw that the bandits had surrounded Zhuge Leng, and then he sank into the river under the cliff, and when he woke up again, he didn't know where he had drifted to. In his opinion, Zhuge Leng may have some kung fu, but in essence, she is still a slender woman, and if she falls into the hands of those thieves, God knows what will happen.

He immediately rushed back, his father was dead, and his favorite sister Luo Fu also avenged his father's death, and he couldn't lose Zhuge Leng anymore. It's a pity that there is no trace of Zhuge Leng when he reaches the cliff, and the corpses of the displaced people who were killed are gone, if it is not taken away by the fierce beasts in the mountains, it may be to prevent the plague from being dug in a pit and buried in a centralized manner. She may even be captured alive and fall into an even more miserable situation.

Ziyun was a family heirloom, but he was only in his early teens at that time, where did he have any cultivation and experience, and he was already doing his best to be able to fight with two or three crops. After looking for Zhuge coldly. While practicing the swordsmanship handed down by his family, Ziyun visited a famous master to further his martial arts, hoping to return one day to take revenge.

Before going to sea, Ziyun also asked the craftsman to help inquire, but unfortunately she was just a maid and had no reputation at all, and there was no news from the craftsman's inquiry, almost everyone tacitly assumed that she was dead, only Ziyun was still stubbornly holding on to hope.

Now he is a disciple of the spear Lin Yue, and he is no longer what it used to be, and his mastery such as the Wind Spirit Immortal Technique, the Storm Palm, and the Angry Lotus Qingping Sword is a small level of the first glimpse of the path, and even the family heirloom two-thorn ape swordsmanship has the possibility of improving to the three-thorn ape. The little warlord who grabbed the homeless people indiscriminately, Ziyun has not forgotten it to this day, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have lost his last relative.

Hezhou City is located in the southwest of the Great Zhou, due to the geographical environment, the climate here is pleasant. Since Gao Fuhai raised troops to occupy here, Hezhou City has always been the base camp of the Song army, but at this moment, Hezhou has long lost its original prosperity.

After Ziyun entered the city, he walked on the streets of Hezhou, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the shops along the street were also closed a lot, and people's faces were worried and helpless. This is understandable, because the army of the Suzaku Dynasty is not far from here, and it turns out that the main force of the Song army has already been defeated, and I originally thought that those alien races would take Hezhou in one fell swoop. I didn't expect them to go north to attack Shudi. This gives the state a buffer.

And the little warlord Ziyun is looking for is named Bao Cheng, who was originally in the field, and entered the city of Hezhou a year ago, and Nominally Hezhou belongs to Song Hou, that is, Gao Fuhai's youngest son, and he is actually the person in charge.

The orphans and widows left behind after Gao Fuhai's death have completely become puppets, and the little warlords, you sing and I will appear, and there have been too many things in the past few years to change the king's flag with the head of the state city. Previously, due to the attack of the Suzaku Dynasty, some small warlords were defeated or wiped out, and the rest fled to Hezhou. If the Suzaku Dynasty continued to attack, these small warlords, who were originally from the Song military system, would definitely have to unite the front.

But now that the foreign enemy has put down their footing, they have begun to fight each other again, and today a small warlord will be executed at the execution ground. After he was defeated before, he led the remnants to take refuge, although now that the crisis has been resolved, his territory has been occupied by foreign races, so he started the idea of peace with the state. And how could Bao Cheng, who was actually in power, tolerate him, he had only been in power for a year, and his land wealth had been collected innumerable, and he had even captured many homeless people as serfs, and the good days had just begun. The two sides fought a decisive battle outside the field, and the small warlord had already lost most of his forces, and the remaining subordinates were also hesitating about their own way out, but Bao Cheng was divided and bought, and immediately won the victory, and also incorporated a lot of troops.

Since then, Bao Cheng's power in the Song Dynasty has been unique for a while, although he is only a general soldier in his official position, he can freely enter and leave the Song Marquis Mansion, even the wife of the eldest brother Gao Fuhai, who led the rebel army, and the original sister-in-law of the younger brothers. For the sake of her young son, she didn't let herself play with it. Otherwise, their orphans and widows will not survive.

Looking at the little warlord on the execution ground, Bao Cheng suddenly thought of something, said a few words to his general, and immediately laughed playfully.

There were still a lot of onlookers watching the execution outside, and since they knew that the Nanban alien race would not come over for the time being, the numb people in Hezhou were not in a hurry to flee for their lives, and they began to be bored day by day, just like watching plays and listening to books. Watching beheading is also a popular entertainment for the people.

Ziyun was mixed in the crowd, looked around and couldn't help but shake his head, people's hearts were really broken.

Bao Cheng took a sip of the good tea in the cup and said: "Brothers, when you started with Brother Gao, you have nowhere to be today, you were beaten by the Nanban of the Three Dangers Country and have nowhere to stay, and it is also a brother I kindly took you in, in terms of affection and morality, I don't have a place where I can't live with you, brother, why do you have to go against me? ”

The little warlord stiffened his neck and said: "I, Bao Cheng, you bastard, murdering my brother, insulting my sister-in-law, you want me to be a dog under you, dream of you, kill if you want to kill, grandpa is a good man after eighteen years." "Although the little warlord is not a good person, there is nothing wrong with counting Bao Cheng.

I saw that the general put two folded pieces of paper in front of the little warlord who was about to cut off his head, and Bao Cheng said: "You are unkind, brother, I can't be unjust, today in front of the people of the city to give you a way to live, each note has a word, which determines your life and death, we might as well let you choose yourself." How about it's all up to God?"

After all, part of his own strength was absorbed by him, and there were many small warlords who had been driven out of his territory like him to live a life of snorting under him, and if he killed himself, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not leave a pimple in the hearts of these people. So this way is a good reason to kill the head? Anyway, the result is his own choice, and he gave the opportunity. It wasn't his fault if he chose to be killed.

After sorting out his thoughts, the little warlord suddenly understood that these two notes must be dead, and it would be the end of choosing the one he chose. So he immediately ate one of them. Bao Cheng was surprised: "What are you doing here? This is your last chance, and you don't know what you chose if you eat the note." ”

The little warlord Cheng Zhu smiled in his chest: "Just see what the other one is, or do you want to regret it?"

Bao Cheng said: "Okay, open it and show him." "When he didn't open the note, the little warlord looked incredulous, and the note was written with the word 'live'.

"This can't be!!" cried out the little warlord.

Bao Cheng smiled: "It seems that God can't see you, since this piece of paper is alive, then what you choose must be death, brother, don't blame my brother for not giving you a chance, go on the road." ”

The little warlord struggled to be cut off his head, Bao Cheng remembered a past incident, when everyone was still brothers with all sincerity, and the little warlord showed his intelligence at a drinking party, and even the military advisor Poison Ji Ye Meidie praised him.

Everyone had a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat, and they were so unhappy. But Ye Meidie whispered that the little warlord's little wit might kill him. Others didn't hear it, but Bao Cheng, who was the closest, was concerned, and the military advisor Ye Meidie explained that although the little warlord was witty, he was just a little smart. The worst thing is that he himself doesn't think so, and he can't tell when to shake his cleverness, thinking that he is brilliant and will die on it sooner or later. also made up a little joke, which is this question of drawing lots to decide life and death.

He must have thought that it was two dead words, so there must have been that move, as long as he moved his hands and feet a little and wrote down two movable words, he would be dead.

The little warlord was right, Bao Cheng really wanted to stabilize people's hearts, and even more wanted to put him to death, so he remembered Ye Meidie's little joke, so he wanted to try it himself, what could be happier than the enemy to make himself play a trick before he died? Bao Cheng was happy and even more in awe of the former military master Ye Meidie.

Ziyun watched the whole farce and returned to the crowd again. He already has a new plan for what to do next.
