In the early morning of spring and summer, the weather in the east has just revealed a slight light, the milky white mist floats in the ancient city of Chengdu, the faint mist swims lazily under the eaves of the building, like a winding river, and like a jade belt, and the green eaves and corners exposed in the jade belt are like the jade Yuqiong Palace floating in the sky.

The streets of Chengdu are undulating, people walk in it, because of the relationship of the topography, so it seems to be some hidden or visible, the simple buildings of brick and wood structures on both sides of the road are sometimes more and sometimes less, all kinds of trees and shrubs are mixed in it, and the shouting of small traders and hawkers slowly floats out, not in a hurry.

Every day seems to start like this, every day seems to be the same, when the night's chaos and prosperity have been dissipated, new vitality began to flow again, the city gate outside has been opened, the vegetable farmers who entered the door early, or hawkers, or woodcutters walked in one after another, and scattered to the corners of the streets, but all met acquaintances, did not buy or did not buy, are all smiling and saying hello, the long tail of Sichuan flavor, not only did not have the feeling of procrastination, but was a little green and energetic.

Of course, occasionally you can see people who look tired and hurriedly walking on the side of the road, and even some people who are not in good clothes, most of these people have spent the night in which restaurant or which green building, and they have something to do during the day, so they leave early.

The shop was half open, the beggars had not yet risen, and the moss on the stone slabs of the street seemed to be lazily bathing in the first rays of the morning sun.

Happiness is often due to contentment.

A person who never knows how to be content often has no sense of happiness.

Sichuan people seem to have a character by nature, they will work hard, but they also know how to be content. If you can eat and wear, you can smile often.

“…… Tang Tang Zhihua, Ebu Wei ......" Liu Zhang sat in the hall, and suddenly came up with these two sentences in his heart, although he tried to pretend to be serious and serious, but some blank eyes betrayed his true heart.

Liu Zhang never expected that the old man would hang up so quickly, and then he would actually become the assassin of Yizhou.

How good the previous days were, so leisurely that it was outrageous, in the morning, I first spread the meat and water, and when the stall was enough, I went to the water to wrap the meat, and then continued to stall, if it rained, I would play chess or read books under the eaves porch, and occasionally practice calligraphy, or I would find a few people to watch the sunset and drink some wine, and sleep at night with a delicate and tender little girl.

Of course, there were so-called troubles before, but most of them were unimportant little things, such as losing a cockfight, not enough pocket money, and the little lady was angry with herself......

But now, although it is said that the official position is big and the power is heavy, it is all trouble.

Liu Zhang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"......," Pang Xi sat aside and said, "How does this matter make you feel?" ”

"Hmm......" Liu Zhang came back to his senses, lowered his head and thought, what did Pang Xi say just now?

I didn't pay attention at all. But it doesn't matter, because Liu Zhang knows that if it is a very important matter, Pang Xi will habitually say a few more words, not to mention ......

"Envoy, now the thief is rebelling against Brazil to recruit more soldiers...... The passage should be closed as soon as possible, and it is strictly ordered not to go north......" Pang Xi repeated again, "Those who violate the order should be ...... to plot rebellion."

Oh, I think about it, Pang Xi came over mainly to talk about Liu Dan's affairs in Hanzhong during this period of time.

Because Huang Quan served as the Taishou of Hanzhong, some people in Brazil were also recruited to Hanzhong by Liu Dan and Huang Quan one after another during this period of time, and formed a new army. And what this army was formed for, naturally a discerning person can understand it at a glance.

Therefore, Pang Xi rushed to find Liu Zhang, saying that these people in Brazil are traitors and traitors to the party, and they must be strictly prohibited, and if they dare to continue to join the enemy, they must be severely punished!

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "That's it, bother Uncle Pang." ”

"Yui. Make you wise. Pang Xi took the order.

Pang Xi could probably be regarded as a minister of care, so even if Liu Zhang disagreed, he could directly give an order, but with Liu Zhang's nod, it was more logical.

Liu Zhang glanced at Pang Xi, and wondered in his heart, Pang Xi estimated that there were other things, otherwise he wouldn't have moved his ass until now......

Sure enough, after Pang Xi took a sip of tea, he launched the second round of saliva, but this time it was not sprayed on outsiders in Hanzhong in the north, but on another minister, Zhao Wei.

“…… The rebellion in Imagawa has been quelled for a long time, and even if there are remnants, it is harmless...... Zhao Zhengdong has been enduring the army for a long time, so he should return and pay the talisman...... Otherwise, Zhao Zhengdong may have a bad heart......" Pang Xi babbled, sporadically spitting saliva beads across the air in mysterious arcs.

Liu Zhang's head hurts.

The old man died, leaving behind two ministers, one was Pang Xi and the other was Zhao Wei.

Pang Xi is more inclined to civil affairs, which is considered literary, Zhao Wei's family has passed down military law, which is considered martial, one literary and one martial arts, just enough to build a team for Liu Zhang, and these two people are both surnames in Sichuan, with a certain local power, as long as these two people support Liu Zhang, the rest of the people are not easy to jump.

It stands to reason that the old man really loves Liu Zhang, and all aspects have been taken into account, but maybe it was the illness in the last time that made Liu Yan unable to think more carefully, or this problem was originally left to Liu Zhang to solve in Liu Yan's heart, anyway, now the two of them are becoming more and more incompatible and attacking each other.

There was no war in Sichuan before, anyway, Liu Zhang didn't want to engage in any Nanban, he was not interested in those colorful barbarians at all, and there was no conflict between the two parties, and the people of Nanban sometimes came out to trade those things, which was considered stable and stable, so there was actually no major military activity in Sichuan.

So at first, Zhao Wei, who was biased towards the military side, was suppressed enough by Pang Xi. There is no money in his hands, no food and grass, no military power, and he is not as good as Pang Xi in government affairs, and he is not pinched into a circle if Pang Xi wants to be pinched into a circle, and he is pinched into a square if he wants to be pinched into a square, and he falls silent after being turned over several times.

It's a pity that I didn't wait long, I don't know what the reason is, and I don't know how it developed, Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning suddenly rebelled, and once approached Chengdu, and Zhao Wei was ordered to counter the rebellion.

Even so, Pang Xi was still unwilling to let go of the rights in his hands, and only gave part of the military power, and the rest of the soldiers asked Zhao Wei to find those Sanfu and Yuzhou people who fled back then to recruit, named "Dongzhou soldiers".

As a result, Zhao Wei really did it......

However, Zhao Wei, who had military power in his hands, naturally no longer returned to Chengdu, but was stationed in Qu Ren, looking like he was listening to the tune and constantly announcing it, Pang Xi was naturally very unhappy in his heart.

“…… Uncle Pang...... This ......," Liu Zhang said slowly, "Uncle Pang, Uncle Zhao, is my father's humerus...... This, no matter what, it is ...... to send someone to Ren again."

Pang Xi nodded with satisfaction, and then resigned.

Liu Zhang watched Pang Xi go away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had often heard that Pang Xi and Zhao Yun were actually inseparable from each other, like brothers, but now it seems that ......

Alas, how could he not have been?

Big brother, second brother, how good is it to sit down and drink tea and water, why do you have to call back and forth......

I heard that Liu Dan was in Hanzhong, and he also received the history of Yizhou's assassination, and Liu Zhang was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood what this meant, so he immediately asked people to find his eldest brother Liu Fan in Jiaozhou, and wanted Liu Fan to mediate so that he would not kill each other.

But what Liu Zhang never expected was that Liu Fan sent someone to reply, saying that Jiaozhou's affairs were heavy, South Vietnam was cruel and arrogant, and he was unable to support Liu Zhang, so Liu Zhang waited for some time......

Sounds good on the surface, right?

But in reality?

Hehe.

Liu Zhang raised his head, looked at the sky outside the door, and said faintly: "...... Brothers are on the wall, and they are on the outside, and every good friend is not good...... Alas......"

………………………………

Shu is mountainous.

In a valley, a group of soldiers was scattered among them. Some are cutting down branches to build a grass shed, some are searching for wild fruits and vegetables, and some are tired of stones on the side, as if they are preparing to use them as stoves......

Halfway up the hill at the back of the valley, three general-like people were sitting together, but their expressions didn't seem to be very harmonious.

"Are we brothers?!" Gan Ning shouted loudly, angry, "At this point, what else is there to say?" What the hell is going on?! ”

Shen Mi also said to Lou Fa: "Brother, just say what you have, is it interesting to hide it from your brother like this?" ”

Lou Fa was silent, and only after half a sigh did he sigh and said, "Okay...... Actually...... It's Zhao Zhengdong's meaning......"

"What?!" Shen Mi was shocked.

Gan Ning slapped his thigh, "I guessed that it was so!" ”

Lou Fa raised his head suddenly, looked at Gan Ning in disbelief, and said, "What? You guessed it? When did you guess?! ”

"Are you a fool to me?" Gan Ning is a big mouth, so he squirted out without thinking about it, and he didn't care that Shen Mi's face on the side was a little ugly, "When Zhao Zhengdong attacked before, he was procrastinating, and then you went up, and the momentum was quite big, and as a result, three people were injured, and one of them was crutched...... Is this called war? Yes? Isn't this what a ghost is? Even a blind man can see it! ”

Although Zhao Wei's name is Zhengdong, he is not a general of Zhengdong granted by the imperial court, but a general of Zhengdong Zhonglang of Liu Zhangbai, who does not even have the position of general, and is a temporary Zhonglang general, higher than the captain and lower than the general.

"Ahem...... Lou Fa was a little embarrassed by Gan Ning's words, "this...... As you know, Zhao Zhengdong was originally trapped in Chengdu...... That's why I came up with this strategy and found me...... It's hard for me to refuse this, after all, Zhao Zhengdong was kind to me back then......"

The three of them fell silent in unison.

Knowing and not knowing, guessing and confirming, are indeed two completely different concepts, just as murder is divided into intentional and unintentional homicide. Gan Ning is willing to follow Lou Fa and take risks because Gan Ning himself is also dissatisfied, and he will reverse as soon as he drinks too much, while Shen Mi has a good relationship with Lou Fa and Gan Ning.

I thought it was really a reversal, and it was to fight for myself to make a living, but I didn't expect that it was actually a chess piece for others......

Shen Mi duly pulled the scabbard in his hand on the ground, lowered his head, and frowned.

Stones and leaves fluttered on the ground, some rustling down the hillside.

"Uh...... This, I said," Lou Fa looked left and right, and felt that he was a little embarrassed, so he whispered, "Zhao Zhengdong said...... After a while, he will write to Liu Yuanjun, and then recruit us...... Naturally, it will be fine...... When the time comes, we will follow Zhao Zhengdong and settle down in Brazil, at least there is a county order...... Think about it, what does it mean to deal with those Nanban people every day in Banan! ”

"Besides, we didn't really fight ......," Lou Fa continued, "and we have nothing to lose...... The grain and grass these two times were actually given by Zhao Zhengdong...... We just have some strength to lose......

After finishing speaking, Lou Fa looked at Gan Ning and Shen Mi with some apprehension.

Shen Mi shook his head, sighed, and said, "Big brother, you can be regarded as pheating me this time......"

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Brother Lou, you don't know, Brother Shen just fell in love with ......"

Shen Mi hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Gan Ning and said, "Don't say this, don't say this!" ”

Lou Fa was stunned for a moment, laughed too, and said: "Isn't this simple, when the time comes, when you go to Brazil, become a county magistrate, and then you will be proposed!" It's definitely going to be done! When the time comes, it is indispensable to drink a few more glasses of water and wine! ”

Laughing, the atmosphere between the three of them has recovered a little, but in fact, the three of them know in their hearts that they may never be able to go back to the time when they drank sour wine and were open to each other.

Several soldiers strode up from the mountain road, and when they came to the front of the three of them, they reported: "Someone has shot a letter at us from the opposite hill......

The black arrow shaft, white tail feathers, and the red scarf silk on the arrow shaft are very conspicuous.

Lou Fa took the arrow, took off the scarf, and glanced up and down a few times, his face couldn't help but look a little ugly.

"What's wrong?" Gan Ning asked.

Lou Fa handed the towel to Gan Ning and said, "Zhao Zhengdong...... Say it's inconvenient to have it at hand...... The grain and grass will have to wait a few more days, so let's wait here a little longer...... Three days later, the ...... arrived."

"Wait?" Shen Mi said, "Three more days? What does that mean? ”

Gan Ning looked at it with a scarf, frowned, and said after a moment of silence: "...... Two brothers, to be honest...... I have a not-so-good feeling ......"

And such a feeling soon became a reality, after all, in the face of the balance of power, brothers can no longer be used as weights......
