Chapter 433: Xiangyun Meets
Zhou Sisi's heart surged through the rolling warm current, and he soon became blindsided. Old Zhou's words instantly touched the most vulnerable place in her heart. For Zhou Sisi, she doesn't know who else in this world can give up everything for her besides her grandfather!
In the imperial capital in the past few years, people have only seen Zhou Sisi's superficial scenery, but who has ever thought about her hardships and pains! Although her birth is not low in the eyes of most people, compared with those princes and nobles who are mixed in the imperial capital, how small and humble she is! If she was not too ruthlessly oppressed by reality, how could she easily agree to Ouyang Yunqing's request to be the prince's woman? Being able to become the crown princess was not Ouyang Yunqing's arrangement, his power was not big enough to influence the prince to marry a wife, all of this was won by Zhou Sisi himself. In order to please the prince and become her concubine, how much did Zhou Sisi pay and how much humiliation she endured, and who would care?
In the eyes of many people, as long as Zhou Sisi's current status can be achieved, it is worth paying any price, but in Zhou Sisi's opinion, she has no choice but to fight against the water, since there is nothing, then go to fight for the greatest power! She is a strong woman, and she also thinks that she is very strong, but in front of the old owner of Zhou, she still shed tears.
"Child, I know you are bitter, but there are some things, once you do them, you can't go back. Grandpa has no right to tie the lives of the whole village to you, but grandpa himself can do anything for you, and he will not hesitate to accompany this old life! In front of grandpa, you don't have to pretend, I know the true intention of your return, I will convene a meeting of the whole village when I go back, leave those who are willing to support you, and you will take them all away. That's all Grandpa can do to help you. Xiangyunzhuang was established by our three brothers together, and I can't make a decision for them, because this decision is a matter of life and death, and you don't blame grandpa. Old Zhou said with a gloomy expression.
"Grandpa, thank you!" Zhou Sisi suddenly burst into tears, she actually regretted coming to Old Master Zhou. She really needs a huge amount of strength to support the crown prince, but whether dragging the entire family to the prince's camp is not the right choice, from the moment she returned to Xiangyunzhuang, she already had doubts in her heart.
Xiangyunzhuang was originally developed very well in the northwest, and the Zhuang people lived and worked in peace and contentment, if they joined the prince's camp, once they failed, Xiangyunzhuang would inevitably not be guaranteed, then their entire family would suffer, she could be selfish and didn't care about the life or death of others, but if her relatives were dragged down by herself, how could she feel at ease?
Zhou Sisi has already seen the hypocrisy and ruthlessness of the high-level society, and she has already learned to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, but when she decided to use her relatives, when it came to the critical moment, she hesitated.
Ye Heng finally got out of the customs, everything went smoothly in Pingcheng, with the reinforcements of Fengbing Pavilion and Xiangyunzhuang, plus the Chen Shui army of Guishun, now there are many generals, enough to maintain the current situation, if it is not for maintaining a certain combat effectiveness and preventing the army of the Yingtian Empire that occupies Linhan Prefecture and Quanshou Prefecture from attacking, they can even wave their troops to recover the entire Guping Prefecture.
In the temporary city lord's mansion, a group of high-level officials in Pingcheng were in a meeting, and after Ye Heng understood the current situation, he said: "I am very relieved that everyone is in Pingcheng, but with our current strength, there is more than enough self-preservation, and it is not enough to play a greater role, so I decided to leave Pingcheng for a few days and then find some helpers." ”
"City Lord, judging from the current situation, the empire is at war everywhere, and the troops are tight everywhere, I'm afraid it's not easy to find!" Gao Lang said matter-of-factly.
"I know this, so we need to replenish our troops, otherwise we will probably not be able to cope with any changes. Ye Heng said worriedly.
"Why don't we mobilize our respective relationships and think of a way together, some of my ancient city soldiers have been separated in the previous battle, and I plan to post notices around the perimeter and send people to look for them, which should be able to collect some people. Li Quan said.
"Then we can recruit new recruits in the various places that have been reclaimed, but they will need to go through a period of training, and this should be done sooner rather than later. Lin Xiuran proposed.
"Ye Heng, you can go to Xiangyun Village to find the old owner and see if the village can help you. Chu Tian smiled and said to Ye Heng.
Everyone expressed their opinions and provided a lot of opinions, and finally decided to take a multi-pronged approach to solve the problem of military resources together.
The affairs of Pingcheng did not change much in a short period of time, Ye Heng, accompanied by Qiao Yong, took Zhang Axiao and other half-grown teenagers to leave Pingcheng, they first returned to the Fengbing Pavilion in Jinyang Prefecture, and placed a group of teenagers here, so that they could learn their skills well.
Zhang Axiao and the others saw many of their peers who were trained here, and found that their strength was much different from that of the children here, and they practiced hard, and eventually became the mainstay of the second generation of the Fengbing Pavilion.
Ye Heng stayed in the Fengbing Pavilion for a day and went to Xiangyunzhuang with Liu Xinyue and others, firstly, the two sides had business contacts, and secondly, Ye Heng wanted to borrow someone from Xiangyunzhuang, and the two happened to go together.
Knowing that the Fengbing Pavilion was coming, the old owner of Zhou was very happy, and the three heroes of the Zhou family came out to greet him, and after seeing Ye Heng, the three old men were even more happy, and welcomed the Fengbing Pavilion and his party to the reception hall. The two sides sat down separately and chatted very speculatively.
Zhou Sisi saw that the people in the village were busy back and forth, and when he inquired, he learned that there was a distinguished guest in the village, and it was the pavilion master of the Fengbing Pavilion who came in person, and he was immediately moved and wanted to receive it under his command. Zhou Sisi was very well-informed, and she had naturally heard of the name of the Fengbing Pavilion. As far as the strength ranking on the entire rivers and lakes is concerned, the Fengbing Pavilion is not enough to enter the Longmen List, but if you list the top ten weapons lines, the Fengbing Pavilion must be among them, and the ranking will not be too low. Especially in the northwest of the Suncheon Empire, the weapons produced by the Fengbing Pavilion are even more well-known, and the warriors who have purchased their weapons are full of praise for the Fengbing Pavilion.
As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Zhou Sisi has the Chaoyang Ranch that produces horses in her hands, if there is a greater need, Xiangyunzhuang will naturally help her. If the Fengbing Pavilion that produces weapons is mastered, at least in terms of weapons and equipment, the prince's side will have the upper hand, whether it is to seize the throne or to quell the chaos in the future, it will be very advantageous.
After thinking about it, Zhou Sisi went straight to the council hall, she wanted to meet the pavilion master of the Fengbing Pavilion and find a way to take him down. It's just that when she saw the person sitting on the guest seat, the whole person immediately froze in place.
"Sisi, it's all to blame grandpa, I forgot to inform you, who do you see this?hahahaha!" When the old owner of Zhou saw Zhou Sisi who suddenly appeared, he immediately said in a round game.
Ye Heng immediately stood up and said, "After a few years, I'm afraid that Sisi won't recognize me." ”
Zhou Sisi quickly came back to her senses, looking at Ye Heng with a complicated expression, she really didn't expect that the pavilion master of the Fengbing Pavilion would actually be her old acquaintance, "I heard that the pavilion master of the Fengbing Pavilion is a heroine among women, how could it be you?"
"I think the person you're talking about is me, the master of our Blade Pavilion has always been him, and I'm just helping him take care of his daily work. Liu Xinyue, who was sitting under Ye Heng, said, I don't know why, she was hostile to her at the first glance when she saw Zhou Sisi. Although Ye Heng also has other women, such as Sanmen Jun, Liu Xinyue has always accepted it happily before, and has never had such strong hostility.
"It seems that I am lonely and unheard, since Ye Heng is the pavilion master of the Fengbing Pavilion, then our two families are even more family, and we must be more close in the future. Zhou Sisi said very naturally, she had already felt Liu Xinyue's strength, it seemed that to get the support of Fengbing Pavilion, this woman must be the key! Of course, Ye Heng's approval is also very important, but in Zhou Sisi's opinion, it is much more difficult to win Liu Xinyue than to take Ye Heng.
"Sisi is right, I used to be a member of Xiangyun Village, and I am also a disciple of the old owner and the Great Elder. Ye Heng said neither humbly nor arrogantly, which not only resolved the rivalry between the two daughters, but also affirmed the close relationship between the two parties.
"Ye Heng, what do you mean by Zeng? Let me tell you, we have never treated you as an outsider, and you are now also a member of our Xiangyun Village, this matter is all caused by Zhou Jun, if it weren't for him, you and Sisi might have been married a long time ago!" said the second elder Zhou Jing with a big grin.
Hearing this, Liu Xinyue chuckled in her heart, and finally understood why she was hostile to her when she met Zhou Sisi for the first time. She just secretly pinched the flesh on her body, and didn't show any unusual looks.
Old Master Zhou glared at the second elder and said, "Third brother, don't be a fool, Sisi is now the crown princess, this kind of joke can't be made!"
The second elder lowered his head stupidly, not knowing what he muttered.
However, Ye Heng took the initiative to say: "The second elder loves to play with juniors the most, I was teased by him a lot when I was in White Horse Villa, and now that I think about it, it is all laughter." I haven't seen each other for so many years, but the second elder still hasn't changed at all, it's so kind!"
"He's not ashamed and not serious!" "Old Zhou said angrily, "I asked people to prepare a banquet, let's go, let's talk while drinking." ”
When a group of people came to the restaurant, of course, they drank Xingfen drunk, and the food was very northwestern, with beef and mutton as the mainstay. Everyone talked happily, during which they even did not shy away from chatting about their experience in practice, Ye Heng even shared some of his experience in practicing "Ying Xiang Zhenjing", others were not deeply touched, but the three old men were greatly shocked after hearing it, and they had a great sense of empowerment, and even remembered every word Ye Heng said silently in their hearts. Especially after Ye Heng explained the method of the third-level initiates with his own understanding, the three heroes of the Zhou family were even more excited and unstable, and their hearts were agitated, which made them find a new path in cultivation, which was of great help to them to impact the higher martial ranks!
After the banquet, the three old men hurried away, immediately digesting the new cultivation method brought by Ye Heng, for them, it had a very important reference effect, they had to strike while the iron was hot and study it well.
As soon as the three old men left, only Ye Heng, Liu Xinyue and Zhou Sisi were left, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Ye Heng, I'll take you to the guest room, you come from afar, take a good rest. Zhou Sisi broke the silence and said.
"Don't bother, I've already said hello to the old owner, and I'm here to go to the place where I lived before. Ye Heng replied.
"Alright then, I'll send you there. Zhou Sisi said, and is currently leading the way.
Ye Heng looked at Liu Xinyue, took her hand and followed. It's just that the two of them have been following Zhou Sisi all the time, and they didn't speak again along the way.
Soon arrived at the place where Ye Heng had lived, Zhou Sisi stopped, looked back at the two holding hands, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, barely showed a smile, and said, "It's here, you guys rest, I won't bother." ”
After speaking, Zhou Sisi hurried away, but the farther she went, the paler her face became, although she knew that she and Ye Heng had no future, but when she found out that Ye Heng had a new woman, she still felt a heart-rending pain!
