The palace-like mansion finally arrived at the main hall after passing through the eight gates.

There is a throne in the main hall, sitting in the north and facing south, Chen Yuanzhi took Chen Hongyi's hand and asked him to sit up. Chen Hongyi pulled him straight up, and when he was secretly happy, he was pressed on the throne by Chen Hongyi.

Chen Yuanzhi was frightened and hurriedly wanted to get up, Chen Hongyi smiled, "Big brother, it's okay to sit, it's just a chair, I've been to Jinling in Luoyang, it's nothing unusual."

"You can sit, I can't sit down, or you sit, you sit" Chen Yuanzhi continued to pull Chen Hongyi to sit up

"Come on, just sit down, it's boring to drink wine and eat meat on this, let's go, I'm hungry"

Chen Yuanzhi laughed, "Hahahahahaha, you are still that kid who is greedy for wine and drinks, delicious and fun-loving, okay, the wine and meat are ready, okay, let's eat and drink."

As a guest at Chen Yuanzhi's house, it was another meal of nonsense and sea drinking, Chen Hongyi and Chen Yuanzhi, two old men, drank more than a dozen jars of wine, and actually tried their swordsmanship on the spot.

Chen Yuanzhi's sons were very frightened, and neither of these two old men dared to come forward to persuade them, for fear that they would be injured.

They saw that Li Xiaofei, who had not been drinking, was admiring with relish, so they went to ask Li Xiaofei to persuade them.

Li Xiaofei waved his hand, "I'm too worried, if we sweep their interest at this time, it will be a regret for their lives." ”

Chen Yuanzhi's thirteen sons watched the two old men splash the sparks while chopping, and their hearts had already risen to their throats.

"Don't worry, Chen Dashuai's swordsmanship is a mountain higher than your old man's, do you think Chen Dashuai will miss and hurt him?"

When Li Xiaofei said this, everyone felt a little relieved.

I saw Chen Hongyi fighting and retreating, "Brother Zhi, your swordsmanship is still the same as it was back then, haha, the little brother can't resist it!" ”

"Don't lie to me, who doesn't know that your martial arts are the second in the world! I really started this bit of martial arts in front of you, and I was cut by you in three rounds! ”

The two laughed and threw the sword, "Come on, come on, it's still more than the amount of wine, this is too boring than the sword!" ”

On the way back the next day, Li Xiaofei asked about Chen Yuanzhi, and Chen Hongyi told him a story from decades ago.

In that year, when Daliang crossed to the south, many young children of the Chen family in Lingnan had to lead troops to King Qinwang of Jinling, and everyone agreed to compete in martial arts.

Chen Yuanzhi is recognized by everyone as the most promising candidate to win the hand, at the age of 26, he has been trained as the next head of the family, and Chen Hongyi is just a bastard boy who fights and fights everywhere every day.

Whenever Chen Hongyi was in trouble, Chen Yuanzhi would always protect him or be scolded and punished for him.

Chen Yuanzhi's fierce opponent at that time was Chen Boguang, the eldest son of the Chen family.

Chen Yuanzhi was still afraid of defeating Chen Boguang, and in order to get rid of the big brother's rival, Chen Hongyi had no interest in leading the troops to fight, and he also signed up for a martial arts competition.

Chen Hongyi was originally knocked out of the ring in the first three rounds, but I don't know if it was to make up the number or the elders in the family looked at him unpleasantly, so they paired him with Chen Boguang to fight.

Everyone thought that Chen Hongyi would definitely die, but after Chen Hongyi met Chen Boguang, he was unusual, avoided all of Chen Boguang's killer moves, and finally rolled out of the ring with Chen Boguang in his arms, eliminating Chen Yuanzhi's fierce rival.

Originally, the matter ended here, but Chen Mingxian, the head of the family at that time, decided that Chen Hongyi should be the chief general of King Qin's 3,000 soldiers and horses, on the grounds that this kid was not afraid of a strong enemy, and he would definitely be able to take the children of the Chen family to take a way out.

So Chen Yuanzhi's main general flew away, and he had to stay in Nanhai County to make the county order of Boluo County.

After listening to Chen Hongyi's juvenile story, Li Xiaofei remembered one thing and held it in his heart for a long time.

"Division

Father, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask you, doesn't Master think it is strange about Shen De? Li Xiaofei finally said this sentence that he had been holding back for a long time

Chen Hongyi smiled slightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, let me ask you, who are you fighting for all these years of military career?" ”

Li Xiaofei thought for a while, "Master, you know, at first I just wanted to avenge my parents, then I was loyal to the imperial court, and then I was actually trying to survive, and now I want to make a contribution." ”

"That's right, you are Shen De, Shen De is you, in fact, you are no different from him!"

Li Xiaofei just wanted to say that Shen De followed Cui Ju to rebel, but after thinking about it, he was just on Liu Jian's side, and the two had different positions, so there was not much difference.

Chen Hongyi looked up at the sky, "To live is to fight for yourself." But sometimes we have to fight for others. For his wife and children, for his brothers, and for his relatives and friends! What is fighting for the world is false, only these living people are real. ”

Li Xiaofei looked at the old man in front of him carefully, no wonder he was always supported by the soldiers, because he was not empty.

At this time, in Luoyang City, rice was more expensive than money, and a pound of money could no longer be exchanged for a pound of wheat or corn, and Zhu Yaoshi's subordinates were fleeing every day.

The people outside Luoyang City had already fled to the north, and Wang Tiezhu brought back 800,000 pieces of grain, which were almost snatched away by the hungry people at the city gate.

Before Wang Tiezhu's whole army could be repaired, he drove eastward again, and only took 200,000 grains with him when he left, and he had to rely on picking wild fruits and vegetables to hunt to supplement the army rations along the way.

After Zhong Zhiming received the edict from Pharmacist Zhu, he stared at Ling Yun for a long time, "I don't think you should leave, if we don't accept this edict, it's a big deal to go back to Weishan Lake!" ”

Ling Yun didn't speak, took the edict and read it for a long time, "I don't want to live the days of running for my life and falling into the grass, I'll go to Luoyang, you take your brothers here!" ”

Ling Yun's subordinate brothers immediately blew up

"Don't go to Luoyang! It's a big deal! ”

"You can't be a hostage!"

"You finally found a wishful man, why do you have to go deep into the tiger's den? Our brothers don't agree! ”

"That's right! If you don't promise, you can't go! ”

"Can't go! Can't go! ”

The envoy who came to deliver the edict looked embarrassed: "General Zhong, General Ling, if you don't obey the edict, you will be regarded as a rebellious crusade!" ”

Ling Yun glared at the envoy and stopped his subordinates who drew their swords, "Don't mess around, brothers finally have a place to live!" Besides, you're all still here, I'll be fine! ”

Zhong Zhiming held Ling Yun's hand with both hands, "A year later, I will bring my brothers to Luoyang to pick you up!" ”

Ling Yun hugged Zhong Zhiming, "I'll wait for you!" ”

When everyone saw that the two of them directly dissected their hearts, they stopped talking, but followed Zhong Zhiming to send Lingyun to the west for thirty miles.

On the way back with everyone, Zhong Zhiming cut his cheeks, "Brothers! Let's defend Huainan together, and we'll go and bring General Ling back in a year! Will you do it with me? ”

Everyone also drew knives and cut their cheeks, "I wish to listen to General Zhong's orders!" ”

In order to hold Huainan, Zhong Zhiming sent troops to Shou County and occupied Shou County before Sun Weihan's army.

In addition, in order to confuse the enemy, Zhong Zhiming sent his subordinate Han Xu to lead the cavalry all the way to the vicinity of Jinling and vulnered a banner.

Sun Weihan and the others really didn't dare to attack the county in the north easily, but gathered troops to prepare to defend Jinling.

After stabilizing the enemy's army, Zhong Zhiming immediately took action in the counties of Huainan and Huaibei, one was to resettle the displaced people and distribute land and houses, and the other was to collect money and cloth from all the county and county treasury in the jurisdiction to buy grain and rice and transport them to Luoyang.

There is also a one, that is, taking advantage of the fact that Lingyun's subordinates were originally Huaibei bandits, and started the business of smuggling grain and rice from Jinling.

Half business, half robbery.

The small court of Jinling soon made a difficulty, and it could not continue to attack the city to the north, and if it marched to the west, it would encounter Cui Ju's army of more than 100,000, not to mention that there was an unknown Nanhai County in the south.

The civil and military officials who supported Liu Jingxuan soon discovered that in addition to nominally holding a high position, in fact, everyone did not get more benefits than before.

The territory could not be expanded, the population was lost, and the money was reduced, and the establishment of the new dynasty inevitably required the awarding of officials and knights.

Some people plotted to kill Sun Weihan and others in private and return to the command of Zhu Yaoshi, but as soon as there were many people, it was inevitable that the secret would be leaked, and soon Sun Weihan knew.

Since they can't kill foreign enemies, it's better to have fewer people to share the money, Sun Weihan and others were not merciless, killed all the people involved in the conspiracy, and also used this to connect a group of rich families and make a fortune.

Murong Ling, who retreated to the Tuyuhun headquarters, handed over more than 300,000 people to Murong Yuanzhong for resettlement, and Murong Yuanzhong scattered them into the Tuyuhun tribe, and selected 30,000 of them to settle down in Xihai.

Murong Dragon Soul was still polite to Murong Ling, and he didn't dare to slack off, but Murong Ling felt guilty and wanted to resign as the patriarch.

"Now that the Green Flag Khanate and the Gaochang Kingdom are about to be overwhelmed by large troops, how can you stay out of the situation?" Murong Long's soul was anxious

"I've always been there, but I need to be quiet," said Murong Ling, who was leaving.

"By the way, is Qing'er okay in the Central Plains?" Murong Long Soul finally remembered his daughter

"All well!" Murong Ling replied very simply, and continued to go out.

Murong Long Soul didn't continue to ask, he knew that Murong Ling didn't want to speak now.

Murong Ling took Zhu Xuehua and his son Murong Hua to the West Sea, and he wanted to take them to the Sacred Mountain in the West Sea Island to live for a while.

Zhu Xuehua was extremely reluctant, but this time Murong Ling never had a good face and didn't say a word, so Zhu Xuehua quieted down.

Murong Hua held a bouquet of Gesang flowers in her hand and handed it to a little girl on the side of the road, "Give it to you"

The girl was a captive Chang'an, and she was reaching out to catch the bouquet, but she was knocked to the ground by the girl's father, "You have to have backbone!" Don't take the things of these robbers! ”

The unkempt man glared at Murong Hua viciously, and both Murong Hua and the little girl cried.

Zhu Xuehua was in a hurry, and her backhand was a whip on the man, "Who are you scolding for being a robber?" Scares my baby! ”

The man was already weak, so the whip knocked him to the ground, and Murong Ling hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped him up.

The man tried to break free, but to no avail.

"Don't move, don't cry, pick up the flowers!" Murong Ling said very plainly, and then picked up the man on his horse, and led the horse forward.

The man struggled to get off the horse, and Murong Ling immediately clicked on his acupoint to make him unable to move.

Murong Hua stopped crying, picked up the flower and handed it to the girl again, the girl glanced at her father on horseback, and the man had to blink.

The girl took the flower and laughed happily.

Murong Ling turned to Zhu Xuehua and said, "Don't always think about being a queen, wouldn't it be nice to be able to pick flowers and hunt on horseback freely?" ”

Zhu Xuehua was unwilling: "Actually, if you are a little more ruthless, you will be able to defeat Chang'an City!" If you don't fight in Chang'an City, others will fight sooner or later! ”

Murong Ling gave her a smile: "If I really become an emperor in the world, I will no longer be you and Xiaohua!" ”

Murong Hua also asked Zhu Xuehua, "Mother, aren't we very good now?" Why go to war? ”

Zhu Xuehua still wanted to speak, but Murong Ling picked up Murong Hua and the little girl with both hands and stepped onto the back of the other horse.

"After three more days, we will reach the West Sea, and then I will bake fish for you to eat!"
