Even if it is only a thought, it can decide the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. But at this moment, no matter in anyone's eyes, they would never have imagined that the famous strategy in front of him was riding on the streets of Bai Yujing, his expression was a little lonely, but he was truly "picturesque", and the young man who was fascinated by it turned out to be the world-famous Black Evil God Monarch.

Between talking and talking, Cheng Li and Bodhisattva Man rode across the "Hongqiao" and entered Bai Yujing's Shangcheng District. Then leave the "Heaven Street", which is the main road, and enter another paved street that runs east-west.

Compared to the bustling main road, this side is much quieter. The pedestrians on the streets are also much sparser. But on both sides of the street, there are mixed with acacia willows, the trees are green, and the scenery is charming. In the sky, there are white clouds and blue skies, and the sun is shining. Walking through the streets and alleys, no matter where you go, the streets and alleys are neatly squared, like a chessboard. The dwellings, on the other hand, are evenly distributed in the chess grid and are in good order.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter. Cheng Li looked up and saw a group of children playing in an open space not far away. Laughing and shouting, bouncing and jumping, looking innocent. When he saw it, he rejoiced.

Looking at these children, Cheng Li couldn't help but think of the childhood he spent in the wilderness.

At that time, Cheng Li, following the wild wolf who raised him, struggled every day for food and clothing. Either that, or desperately trying to avoid the attacks of other beasts. Just to be able to live, I was exhausted. The memory of playing happily like these children in front of me can be said not even once.

Therefore, when Cheng Li saw these children, deep in his heart, he couldn't help but have a burst of emotions called "envy". A smile naturally hung on the corner of his mouth.

Although the smile was shallow, it was not ignored by the Bodhisattva. The blonde woman was also very proud, and said: "In the sixty years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, although it has also experienced many waves of torture, on the whole, it is still too safe and stable.

Especially after the first emperor ascended the throne, he made great efforts to reform the ancestral system and eliminate the disadvantages and promote the benefits. For more than 20 years, the Great Wei Dynasty has been leveled by the four seas, and the wind and rain are smooth, and it is thriving. Compared with the chaotic world of human life in the last years of the previous dynasty, it is definitely a comparison between heaven and hell.

Although books often say that the world of the three emperors in ancient times was rich and happy. But in fact, no one has ever seen the world of the Three Emperors. On the contrary, the prosperous world in front of us was created by our own hands and witnessed with our own eyes. Therefore, Uncle Shi often said to us that the peaceful days are not easy to come by, and we should cherish and protect them. Cheng Baihu, what do you think?"

Listen to the strings and know the elegant meaning. Of course, Cheng Li understood that this was the Bodhisattva's euphemistic persuasion of himself. Obviously, in terms of his own identity and status, which is very different from the past, today, the Bodhisattva cannot be completely worried about himself in his heart.

There is no direct answer of "yes" or "no". Cheng Li just said indifferently: "The Great Wei Dynasty can have today, and Zhuge Taifu has indeed made great contributions. Miss Rou, how far is the Taifu Mansion?"

Unable to get a definite answer, the Bodhisattva couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But then, she shook her head self-deprecatingly, sighing that she was still too calm after all. Such recklessness can only be counterproductive, isn't it? He is not a fledgling person, why is he so eager? Could it be that it is because he is also fighting from the deepest part of his heart, so he does not want to become an enemy with Cheng Li?

The thought flashed, and the Bodhisattva Man did not waste much time in this kind of thing. She cheered up and smiled, "It's not far off." Before returning to Bai Yujing this time, I had already transmitted the news of Cheng Baihu's entry into Beijing to Uncle Shi through the flying pigeon. Uncle Shi replied that he was extremely welcome to this matter. and specially called the senior sister, the third junior brother, and the fourth junior brother back, and wanted to greet Cheng Baihu in the house together. ”

Cheng Li happily said: "It's Brother Shui and Brother Qiu, we haven't seen each other for a long time." This is a rare opportunity to reunite, but you have to drink three glasses well. ”

The four disciples under Zhuge Taifu are all working in Xiuchun Building, and they are collectively known as the four major stalls in the world. The big stall is named "Yulin Ling", and the nickname is "Amorous". When Cheng Li had just come to this world, he had received a small favor from her, which was regarded as a favor owed to her. The second gear is the Bodhisattva, nicknamed "Rouyi". The head of the third gear is the water dragon chant nicknamed "Snatching Spirit". On the matter of breaking the gold hole at sea, he cooperated with Cheng Li. The fourth gear head is the "ecstasy" autumn night rain, when he was in Hangzhou, Cheng Li and he worked side by side against the Lei family in Perak Hall, and he was also a comrade-in-arms.

Among the four major stalls. The eldest and second are all women, especially the second Bodhisattva, who is of Western Regions ancestry, not a pure Central Plains person. In contrast, the third and fourth are all men, and they can be regarded as having been born and died with Cheng Li. Therefore, emotionally speaking, Cheng Li always feels more comfortable and relaxed when he gets along with the third and fourth children.

Although he knew that the smile between Cheng Li's eyebrows was not for himself. But the Bodhisattva was just as happy. Because it doesn't matter who that smile is for. Since Cheng Li can laugh, it means that the emotional card of Taifu Mansion is indeed played correctly. And as long as Cheng Li and Taifu Mansion still have feelings at all, then most of the things that Cheng Li has to do to invite him to Beijing this time can also be done properly. For the Great Wei Dynasty and for the common people in the world, it is a very happy thing.

With joy in his heart, the Bodhisattva Man also smiled and said, "How can three cups be enough? At least three hundred cups." In order to welcome Cheng Baihu, Uncle Shi has specially ordered Zhang Luo to come to the authentic Western Regions wine, the taste is mellow and rich, at this time, put ice cubes in the wine and drink it together, that kind of taste, I promise to give a fairy will not change. ”

Cheng Li said with a smile: "Miss Rou said it so temptingly, it makes me a little impatient." ”

The Bodhisattva said with a smile: "Since you can't wait, then, please come here." With a flick of the whip, the horse sped up a few more speeds and went straight into another street. Cheng Li gently patted the head of Ryoma's "servant". Ryoma snorted lightly and quickly followed.

Half an hour later, the two horses walked into a courtyard. On the door of the workshop, it is like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing with the three big characters of "Guangxia Fang". After crossing the square gate, I saw that on the east side of the cross street, there was a Zhumen mansion.

Although the scale of this mansion is not small, it is not golden on the outside, but rather old-fashioned. There was no strict guarding in front of the gate, only a few old soldiers who were already old, all of whom were quite disabled. If you don't have a broken hand, you have a broken foot, or you're blind, or something—you're sitting at the doorway and talking. In addition, there were several old pawns who were also disabled, and they simply set up a chess game. You kill me a car, I'll kill you a cannon and fight in the middle of the day.

Such a scene in front of him, no matter how you look at it, will not make people feel that the owner here has anything to do with the words "high and powerful". On the top of the gate, there is a gold-lettered plaque: it is the "Taifu Mansion".

The Bodhisattva stood still in front of the gate, turned over and dismounted. When the old pawns saw her, they stopped chatting, paused the chess game, and stepped forward one after another. It's just that their attitude seems to be more like that of the elders in the village, who come to greet them with concern when they see their wonderful children and grandchildren returning. It is not at all like a servant treats his master.

The Bodhisattva did not treat these old pawns as a master. Instead, he casually laughed with them, and then they went to inform Mrs. Zhuge . He threw the reins to one of the old pawns and told them to take good care of the two mounts, and then pulled Cheng Li into the door together.

Cheng Li stretched out his hand and patted the head of the servant of the dragon horse, and whispered to him to follow the old man to rest in the stable, and not to make trouble willfully. Then he followed the Bodhisattva and said, "Miss Rou treats those old people with a very easy-going attitude. ”

Bodhisattva Man explained: "More than 20 years ago, Yizhigao in the southwest rebelled. Uncle Shi was ordered by the first emperor to send troops to quell the chaos. Although the chaos was quickly quelled, it was a war after all, and it caused many casualties after all.

At that time, the imperial court was not wealthy, and although there were pensions for the dead and wounded soldiers, it was still not enough. Uncle Shi thinks that he is the general who leads the troops, and the deaths and injuries of these soldiers are all his own fault. Therefore, he paid his own money to pay tribute to the families of those soldiers who died in battle. He also took those soldiers who were injured and could not make a living in other businesses to him, which was regarded as giving them a bite to eat.

Twenty years have passed, and some of the wounded soldiers have long since died. Some of the children have already married and return to their children. The rest of them are all childless and daughterless, so they simply retire in the Taifu Mansion.

Our fourth brothers also grew up in the mansion since childhood. Therefore, for our four senior brothers, these old pawns are the elders of the family. Get along with each other, and naturally don't have to pay too much attention to etiquette. ”

Cheng Li nodded and said, "I see." Zhuge Taifu is indeed kind-hearted. No wonder Taifu is in a high position, but the house he lives in is so simple. It's really admirable. ”

"The old man is deeply honored to be praised by Cheng Shao. But at the same time, I feel deeply ashamed. ”

Wen Xi's graceful and kind voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Cheng Li raised his head, only to see that not far away, on the steps in front of the living room of the house, there was an old man with a leisurely and leisurely bearing.

The old man wore a scribe's shirt, a scarf on his head, and a goose feather fan. Although his hair and beard were already snow-white, his complexion was still very ruddy, and his eyes were shining. Listening to his breathing pulse, it was continuous, poignant, long and powerful, based on this alone, Cheng Li could immediately judge that this old man was definitely a top master. Cultivation is infinite compared to the original head of the imperial guard, and it must be one line higher.

There are very few such top masters in the world today. And at this moment, in this Taifu Mansion, there is only one person who can cultivate like this. That is the third of the second generation of Anlemen's descendants, the official worship is the Taifu of the Dynasty, in charge of the embroidered spring building, Zhuge Zhengming, who is deeply trusted by today's son, Zhuge Taifu is also.
