Ouyang Lin couldn't sleep all night after he went back, and his father's disapproval of him kept coming to his mind, whether nepotism is used or not, isn't there anyone pointing fingers behind his back? I don't understand the use of being down-to-earth, and I have been persuading myself to stay for many years, and my father doesn't know how tired he is.

Why didn't you propose the removal of the title of the colt but give the result at this time, also because the time was not ripe? Ouyang Lin shook his head, with his father's position as prime minister, on the occasion of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the matter of moving his little finger, why should he delay it until now, and cut it off when he has already planned a new way out?

Ouyang Lin is not without resentment in his heart, he tries to accept it with an attitude of understanding, he is always a little sad, he is the only sister-in-law in the prime minister's mansion, and he hopes to become a person like his father, and become the head of the civil officials in a high position, but unfortunately there are eight or nine unsatisfactory things in the world, and how much fighting spirit has been consumed.

Ouyang Lin, who didn't close his eyes all night, couldn't sleep, and it was difficult to decide, which of the two roads to take, whether to stay in place according to his father's wishes or fight according to his own plan, the former has a slim chance of promotion, and the latter has a five-five chance.

Ah Yuan sent a letter and hurried back to the house to resume his life, as the old man expected, the door of the Wing King's Mansion was closed, so he stuffed the letter into the crack of the door, hoping that the Wing King could see it and live up to the master's trust.

Xi Chao saw it, sneered twice and didn't say anything, and finished writing the excerpt that will be played tomorrow morning.

"If you want to find a master to do things with just a favor, you can't help but think too highly of yourself." Hongrui glanced at the letter in her hand and did not hide her ridicule of Ouyang Ye.

"Master, do you really want to help remove the title of the colt?" At the beginning, Lang had a concubine intention. It was only then that the princess got married, and now I don't want this fallen person to do anything, Hongrui snorted coldly.

"What conditions can the master ask the prime minister?" Hongrui asked again. "Is there something that the master can't handle, and he owes a debt to help him?" is already a master above ten thousand people under one person, do you really need it?

"Hold it aside." Xi Chao is not in a hurry, she has to wait for Ouyang Lin's cousin to see if she will help or not.

The sky is getting darker, the tide of the tide after washing and resting, tomorrow morning to practice the sword, a long time has not practiced the sword well, the martial arts will be unfamiliar after picking it up.

On the morning of the second day, it was as usual. What should I do, Ouyang Lin did not wait for the will of amnesty, and his heart became impetuous. Didn't my father say that it was mentioned in the early dynasty, and I didn't see a word and a half sentence that was said on this, could it be that my father was lying to himself? It's impossible, and it's not a big deal. It's not necessary to be ridiculed for more than one day and one day less.

That is, the father found someone to intercede. It's inconvenient to discuss things in the morning? Ouyang Lin was unconsciously stunned, and he didn't have any thoughts worth verifying, so he stopped thinking.

When he retreated from the dynasty, Ouyang Ye gave the Wing King a look, knowing that it was useless to be in a hurry if he only needed one sentence.

"Ouyang Ye, what kind of eyes are that?" Mu Jinming came to the imperial study with Xichao, sat down and asked, with suspicion in his eyes.

"About the revocation of the title of the colt." Xi Chao said it briefly.

"What do you mean?" Mu Jinming asked.

"Let's talk about it for two days, how can it be so easy to ask someone to do something." Xi Chao didn't want to give Ouyang Ye the so-called face.

"Whatever you want." In a word, Mu Jinming decided by Xi Chao himself.

Xi Chao and Mu Jinming talked about the promotion of Arabic numerals, starting with the household department. It is effective and then gradually taught to the people.

Mu Jinming mentioned the matter of the Xi Dynasty's coming-of-age ceremony, but the Xi Dynasty clearly refused. I don't have much money in my pocket, so it's better to save it.

Mu Jinming chuckled after hearing this, and found that the Xi Dynasty was developing more and more in the direction of slamming the door, and the coming-of-age ceremony was the most solemn ceremony in every girl's life.

Soon after the end of the autumn season, the students who went to Beijing to take the exam returned to their homes one after another, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant inn blossomed, and he smiled so early that he couldn't see his teeth and eyes after three years of earning so much.

The caravan of the Xu family set off, and along the way smoothly went out of Shangjing to the Acropolis, and the convoy of the guards set off for the border pass to send rewards.

"Big brother, no, I heard that the cottage in front of me was served by a group of people in black!" When the brothers heard the news, they had no intention of discovering something wrong.

"What's going on?" The second boss of the big boss was shocked, the caravan that was originally planned to rob the Xu family was not robbed, and it should not attract officers and soldiers, and the first thing that came to mind was that the officials pretended to be unprepared to attack him.

"The road is not like the behavior of officials, when has it been so smart, it is obviously carefully prepared in advance." The second master listened to the words of his subordinates, turned his brain away, and analyzed the internal situation.

"Indeed, it looks like a bandit did it." The results of the investigation revealed a few points, and the big boss wondered whether it was caused by infighting.

"Send someone to keep an eye on it, and if there is no next unlucky one, then don't worry." Second, the boss thinks that what the big boss said is reasonable.

After explaining this incident and asking about the rumors in Beijing in the past few days, the two family members discussed together whether they should take a risk to meet in person before they could make up their minds.

Five days later, there was another strange incident of the bandits being wiped out, which made everyone in the village panic, fearing that the next person to suffer would be themselves, and they could not lift their spirits in doing anything, and their expressions were nervous and immediately alarmed as soon as they made a sound, like a frightened bird.

Gather everyone in the stockade to discuss together, first of all, prepare for battle, and then send people to find out where the man in black came from, know the other side, and never act rashly.

There are four bandits hiding in the road map taken by the guards, not including the Chengfeng Village above, and because they learned that the people in this village are righteous bandits, they plan to find out whether they are really righteous bandits after completing the task.

The man in black is haunted, he is not aware of his whereabouts, and he is anxious to wait for a dry person, how is this good, he is worried all day long, and he is often awakened by a little movement when he sleeps at night, and everyone gets up in the morning with a big eye circle, and his spirit is tormented and languishing.

In a state of alert for half a month, I often hear which village has suffered, count the good guys, and serve four villages in a row, silently making people's backs chill, and a sense of urgency arises spontaneously.

I have been to the empty stockade to investigate. It was as desolate as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and nothing was left, not even a stitch or thread. I can't help but secretly think that this is a bandit who is even more bandit than a bandit, and the traces and bloodstains left by the sweep are not even a corpse, which is too confusing for the second monk.

Immortal went to another village with the same tragic situation, turned over the whole mountain and didn't see any corpses, and felt inexplicable about the scene of helping to collect the corpses when he died, what kind of quirk is this, or is it to dispose of the traces left at the scene?

On the way back, everyone's mood was very heavy. A sense of crisis followed, and no one could tell whether the next one would be the turn, and now the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light. It was a great loss to fight, but unfortunately I couldn't find any useful clues, and I became more and more anxious.

Although the disappeared cottages are all bandits who do nothing evil, it is not an exaggeration to die. But after all, there are young children. The childish son is too cruel in his methods, everyone's hearts are cold to the end, and they begin to look for a way back, stay away before the enemy comes to the door, hide in a safe place to avoid it, not spineless but the strength is really insufficient to fight against them, they still have relatives, and they can't leave the old and young women and children who have nothing to rely on.

Just when it was decided to retreat to the back mountain overnight. The big boss once again realized how small and powerless he was, and the unknown enemy had disturbed the peaceful home. In the face of sudden pressure, there is an urgency to gain strength again.

After settling down everyone, the big boss and the second boss mentioned the matter of going to see the Wing King, and planned to try it, if they succeeded, they didn't have to hide in Tibet, and there was only one ending if they failed.

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone!" The second master disagreed, "What should I do if the man in black calls, not to mention whether the Wing King can see you, it's not easy." ”

"Go back and forth for a day, go and come back quickly." The big boss will never leave his brother alone.

The second boss saw that the big boss was desperate, and the words of persuasion were extremely difficult in his throat, he understood the purpose of the big boss to see the Wing King at this time, and if he agreed, there was a way to live, and he didn't agree with a dead end, whether it was the Wing King or the gang of men in black who appeared out of nowhere, the same ending could not be changed.

The stockade, which had long been targeted by the secret guards, did not find that anyone had infiltrated it at all in the case of disparity in force, and everything he said entered his ears.

When the guards were going to visit the village, they were stopped by the secret guards who suddenly appeared, and their movements in the past few days were too great to disturb the bandits on other mountains, and the bandits on this road were all cleared, and when they rested for a while to complete the task of going to the border pass, there was no other route to continue when they returned.

The guards immediately understood the intentions of the Dark Guard, so that the other bandits of the Frightened Bird let down their vigilance to facilitate the capture, and the Dark Guard was the henchman of the Wing King's side, so he did so.

Completely unaware that the words of the Wing King were listened to to save his life, the secret guard sent the news back and left one of the secret guards to observe the situation in the stockade to confirm whether it was worthy of cultivation by the master.

The big boss left before dawn, and after entering Beijing, he directly copied the path to the location of the Yiwang Mansion and squatted, and he did not see himself in front of the main gate with his own clothes and had to go out, so he went to the back door of the Yiwang Mansion, and it was difficult to get in, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Yiwang.

When Hongrui heard that a man appeared at the back door to check the news from the secret guard last night, her eyes immediately lit up, wanting to see what kind of person dared to hit the master's head.

The big boss stood in the shadows, staring at the back door with his eyes motionless, if there was a person in the palace who came out, he would go forward to inquire to see if it could be convenient, the reason why he dared to do this was because he had not heard that the people of the Yiwang Mansion relied on the master to do evil, as the saying goes, what kind of master has what kind of minions.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one, my heart became more and more anxious, just when the big boss wanted to go to the main gate to try, the back door creaked open, and a woman in red walked out of the house, and she didn't dare to step forward for a while, after all, it was a girl's house.

Hongrui went out and saw a man standing in the shadows with a hesitant face, looking like a decent man and a gentleman, not to mention that it was a bandit.

"Who's there?" Red Rui said to the shadows.

Hearing the voice, he was startled, and he had the urge to flee, but fortunately, he still knew what he was here for, so he calmly walked out of the shadows, and took two steps forward to say hello politely.

"Yan San, the grass people, asked to see the prince, and hoped that the girl would have a convenient trip." Yan Sandao came out of his mind, and his eyes didn't dare to glance at random.

Hongrui carefully looked at the man in front of her, and paused for a moment before saying, "The master has gone up." Do you have something? ”

"Yes." Yan San didn't know how to speak, saying that it was a bit out of character to take refuge, and he was like a fool who wanted to eat swan meat. Don't say it, I'm afraid that the woman in red will misunderstand that she is sick and is joking, so she wrinkled her eyebrows with worry for a while.

After admiring the embarrassment of a man who couldn't speak, Hongrui smiled secretly, how could someone who could come up with big ideas be so funny.

"It's not the place to talk, keep up." Hongrui dropped a sentence and walked back.

Yan San hesitated for a moment after hearing this, gritted his teeth and followed into Ruoda's Wing Palace, not in the mood to enjoy the spring color in the garden, full of things. I thought about what the Winged King said.

Hongming took Yan San to the main hall, put a tea and fruit plate, and said to Yan San, who was particularly restrained: "The master will return home at noon." If you can wait, wait. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Yan San adjusted his affection, suppressed his anxiety and thanked the woman in red.

"Not necessarily." Hongrui reminded Yan San not to wander around the house so as not to get lost, and if you have any needs, you can talk to the little girl outside, and then don't care about Yan Sanjing and leave.

Red Rui didn't go anywhere else. Instead, he hid in a hidden place and secretly observed Yan San. The character of this person who is about to become the master's subordinate remains to be considered.

Xi Dynasty returned to the house at noon to keep the meal, and Hongrui Xing rushed to tell Yan San's expression, and finally added his own opinions on this person.

Yan San had a full lunch in the palace, of course, this was his own feeling, and he didn't care if it was a meal for guests.

When I saw the woman in red again, I heard that the Winged King had returned to the house, and said that she wanted to see her, and her heart was excited and extremely apprehensive at the same time.

"The grass people have seen the prince." Yan San didn't dare to rashly look at the superior. Even if you know that the essence of the person sitting on the table is a female baby.

"Get up and speak." Xi Chao calmly looked at the man in his thirties in front of him, and his appearance was acceptable.

Yan San thanks. Standing up and glancing at the Wing King, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and rashly looking at the superior was a great disrespect to the superior.

Yan San organized some words, paused slightly, and said his intentions, begging the Wing King for protection and pointing out the way out, they were originally good people, and they did not want to be bandits for the rest of their lives or even future generations, there was no other way than a long-term plan, and they came to seek a place to survive after listening to the Wing King's excellent reputation.

"There are a total of 300 people in the village, and the rest of the 200 strong men are the old, the young, women and children." In order to show his sincerity, Yan San said everything in detail, in exchange for the mercy of the Wing King, and the hope of success may be greater.

Plain and simple, without any exaggeration, Xi Chao corresponded to the news found by the secret guard one by one, and he had a good impression of Yan San, and the down-to-earth and hard-working person was exactly what he wanted.

"Why don't you go to the army?" Xi Chao asked casually, she wanted to listen to Yan San's heart, in addition to herself, being a soldier before this was also a way out.

"I went, and it was completely different from what I imagined." Yan San fell into his own thoughts, "It's not that I'm afraid of death or tired, as long as I have a full stomach to eat, it's normal to have the strength to eat, but unfortunately the idea is too beautiful and the reality is too cruel." ”

"In addition to not having enough to eat, the hardships in the barracks have to be like dogs, and the veteran officers are beaten and scolded, tossed every day, and the weight of the hands is like we should be happy with people like animals." That short period of time was the last thing Yan San wanted to mention.

"It's better to be a soldier than to be a bandit, at least you see yourself as a human being, the endless humiliation is really unbearable, it is difficult to live without food and medicine, and I watched the strong laborers of a good man's family being tortured to death, and the military camp is even more terrible than hell."

"Becoming a soldier is to live a better life, not to live a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs, because we left and became bandits again." Yan San picked one or two of the specific situation and said, and the rest was roughly skimmed over and was reluctant to mention it again.

"Which battalion?" Xi Chao hated bullying the weak scum very much.

"Northside." Yan San replied truthfully.

"Did you kill someone when you were a bandit?" Xi Chao asked again, his eyes staring at Yan San's eyes for a moment.

"Nope." Yan San did not flinch from Shang Fengrui's gaze, and answered truthfully.

"Are there those who commit adultery and criminals, and those who deserve to die for wicked deeds?" Xi Chao knew that the person in front of him had been a bandit for five years.

"There is no killing, there is a lesson." Like breaking a bone or something, it can hurt for a long time, Yan San also knows that when he encounters something bad, he doesn't do anything, and he sets the rule that he only hurts people and doesn't kill him, and he is angry and beats him violently.

"What do you want from this king?" Xi Chao could see clearly that Yan San was asking for more than just shelter.

"I want to go home and farm, and live a prosperous life without being oppressed by officials and powerful people." Yan San's requirements are only these, and they are also the dignified and upright people who everyone expects.

"Why does this king protect you?" The Xi Dynasty has always been an equivalent fellowship, and there is no true compassion at all.

"You must know that Shengmi is fighting against Mi, what if someone is swaggering and deceiving under the banner of this king, there is no help in the world for no reason. Buddhism once said that the equality of all beings is only in people's illusions, and this king is not as good as the rumors, and it is unwise for you or everyone you carry on the surface to just look at the surface. ”

"I am willing to make cattle and horses for the prince." Yan San is not only a rhetoric, but also a real willingness to offer his loyalty in his heart.

"You are willing to be the dog of this king, how should others think of you?" Xi Chao didn't mean to insult Yan San, but just warned him how the outside world would view this kind of thing.

Yan San's face changed slightly, it was false to say that he was not angry, that dogs were an insult to them, and that it was commonplace for the powerful, who often regarded the people as stupid ants, although the word dog was harsh, it was always better than ants.

"You go back, what you say is your side, you can't show everyone, it's good to take it for granted, it's really trampling on others." Xi Chao could see that Yan San had a good character, and he was willing to mention one or two.

"People have different ways to consider problems, they think they are good, they are like the honey of A and the arsenic of B, some people can't let go of their arrogance and don't want to be powerful dogs, they come and go when they call it, and they are bandits, although their freedom is limited, they live freely and are less restrained, and they don't want to be bound by rules after a long time." Xi Chao looked at Yan San, who was jumping in his eyes, "You are a righteous bandit, as long as you don't have a life in your hands, you will be fine, go back and think about it, what kind of life do you want, this is not a charity in exchange for being a cow and a horse." "That's all I have to say, whether I want to see if I want to open my mind or not.

"Thank you for your advice." Yan San's heart was shocked, and he also knew that what the Wing King said was reasonable, and he didn't dare to slack off and bow down to thank him.

Xi Chao motioned to Hongrui to send off the guest, knowing that Yan San was worried about the unprovoked attack of the man in black, and had already given the promise he wanted, and the conversation ended here.

Yan San bid farewell to the Wing King and hurried towards the cottage, and the time limit given by the Wing King was enough. (To be continued......)
