Chapter 1 Encounter

In the first year of Jiankang of the Great Wei Dynasty, the new emperor Ning Nanquan ascended the throne, the emperor was young, the situation was unstable, and there was no one in the court to complement him, but the king of Poyang Huai was still for his own use. The emperor was a solid power, and Ning Zheng, the king of Huai, was appointed as the regent, and ordered him to leave the feudal land as soon as possible and enter Beijing to assist the government.

In the fourteenth year of Jiankang, the emperor's wings gradually increased, and he gradually feared the power of the regent, intending to secretly eradicate Ning Zheng. However, Ning Zheng is powerful, and the power of all parties is intertwined and indestructible, and when he wants to shake it, there is no way to break it. At that time, although the Great Wei had the regent Huai Wang Ning Zheng to interfere in the government, the Wei Emperor Ning Nanquan was not a puppet, although the power was not as powerful as Ning Zheng, but it could still compete with it.

However, the emperor fell ill at a young age, and after that, he often lingered on the sickbed, and when he struggled to compete with the regent, his physical condition deteriorated. The power of the seven great scholars of the Great Wei Dynasty also took advantage of this opportunity to gradually become richer, and the trend of division became more and more obvious. The Great Wei Dynasty was not worried, and the Chinese and Korean countries in the western soil in the distance raised troops to invade the Great Wei frontier, and the wars broke out again and again. The seemingly peaceful Great Wei is actually turbulent.

Jiangnan generation, the place of Huiji, east of the sea, south of Zhuyue, north of the river, the most mysterious, standing for thousands of years of powerful gang water pavilion birthplace.

In the area of Jianye, the night pavilion that rose later had a slight confrontation with it, and the two greatly choked the throat of the Great Wei grain and grass and military supplies. The war on the frontier continued, and although the emperor and the king of Huai were not fighting infighting, they invariably turned their attention to the Water Pavilion and the Yegong Pavilion. In order to fill the military supplies, the emperor and the king of Huai secretly sent people to Huiji and Jianye to lobby the people of the Water Pavilion and the Yegong Pavilion.

In the fifteenth year of Jiankang, Huijishui Pavilion served the imperial court and established contact with the emperor to provide military grain and grass to defend the Great Wei frontier.

Suddenly, the emperor was supported by the power of the Water Pavilion and had the upper hand in the battle with the King of Huai. King Huai was in a hurry, and secretly sent killers to intercept and kill the people of Shui Ge and the emperor. The emperor was furious and completely tore his face with King Huai.

King Huai was in danger and anxious, and his second son Ning Nan suddenly asked his father for help, and was willing to go to Jianye to lobby Yegong Pavilion for his own use, and King Huai Ning Zheng should go down and send his son away.

After March, Ning Nan brought back the envoy of the Yegong Pavilion to discuss with the Huai King about the need for food and military supplies, and thus returned to the Huai King's situation.

This turbulent trend is difficult to determine, and the unprovoked involvement between the Water Pavilion and the Yegong Pavilion makes the situation of the Great Wei even more critical. A contest between orthodoxy and power, the scuffle between various ethnic groups for power and division and unification officially began after the conspiracies of all walks of life were revealed....

"Stop, don't run!" A menacing shout came from a small alley at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang City. More than a dozen big men ran forward in the South Lane Hutong that connects to the north of East Gate West Street in Luoyang City. And the left, who was a few meters away from the bodies of these dozen big men, was just a little beggar who was not very tall, covered in coarse linen clothes, and was in a mess. Although this beggar is young, his physical strength is better than that of dozens of strong men behind him.

He was running and jumping happily, turning his head to look at the dozen or so strong men behind him who were chasing him, sweating profusely and panting, so he stood in place, pointed at a few of them and laughed, "A dozen strong men can't chase me a lone boy, if this spreads, won't all the faces of your adults be lost?" ”

The leading man froze in place, gasping for a few breaths, listening to the words of the beggar boy, and almost died of anger.

"You little bunny who jumped out of a nest. Today, if I don't arrest you and beat you severely, I really can't live with my family! The big man rolled up his sleeves, wiped the sweat on his head fiercely, and chased after him again.

The little beggar smiled, and out of nowhere he found a dog's tail grass in his mouth and spat at those strong men, "My name as Jiang Xiao on the street is not something you can bully, catch me first and then talk big!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the young man turned around and jumped into another alley, and he was very good at doing it.

The big men were stunned, and they were stunned for a while, and when they woke up, the cunning young man had long since slipped away.

The leader was so angry that he stomped his feet, waved behind him and shouted angrily, "Give me chase!" Whoever takes that kid down today, he's rewarded! ”

"No!" Behind him, a group of big men shouted with full force, and then a group of people slammed into the alley. Luoyang's Guo District, which is close to Shangdongmen West Street, is the most populous area in the capital. A group of more than a dozen strong men ran around in the small streets, causing the steady people walking in the streets to be frightened and avoided for fear of getting into trouble.

More than a dozen people looked for a young man, and they didn't find any trace after looking for half a night in this Guo District, so as not to make the strong man in the lead angry.

"Boss, I've searched all over the country, but I didn't see that kid!" Behind him, the breath was panting. The leading man spat on the ground and scolded, "Damn, what the hell is this? Northeast Guo District is just so much, where can he go? ”

The leading man was angry, looking around, and suddenly was slammed in the eye by a stone, and a dizzy pain came, and the big man screamed, and then scolded, "Which thing that doesn't have long eyes dares to throw something on Lao Tzu's head?" He rubbed his smashed left eye and stared at his right eye looking for someone.

"Hey! Fat gecko, you are really blind! I've been sitting here for half a night, and I'm tired of watching you look for someone. Suddenly there was a mocking sound on the tiled roof. All the strong men were shocked, and they hurriedly looked around.

Jiang Xiao sat on the roof of a bungalow, swinging his legs leisurely, looking at the useless big man who had been looking for him for a long time and had not found him, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips, his eyebrows and eyes drooped, only to feel bored, so he turned around and disappeared into the vast sea of people.

By the time the strong men reacted, the people would have disappeared a long time ago.

The leading man stomped his feet violently, his anger was knotted, and he said to his subordinates behind him with a face full of horizontal meat, "Someone is looking for someone to bring the beggars and homeless people in Luoyang City to Zhongdu Mansion!" ”

Dozens of big men clasped their fists and shouted, "No! Then they scattered in the streets, plunged into the crowd, and in a short time they all disappeared without a trace.

In Kyoto, it is rare to see such a scene of chasing people and beating them to no avail. Within half a day, the streets and alleys spread the legend of Jiang Xiao, which became a topic of conversation after dinner.

This person named Jiang Xiao, before March, for some reason, went to Beijing, a beggar clothes with patches and rags, but mixed up on the streets, not only recruited the street beggars of the whole capital for their own use, but also with these homeless beggars in the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven and King Huai to rob the rich and help the poor, in just one month, Jiang Xiao led dozens of people to rob the mansions of officials in the capital who were rich and had a bad relationship with the people, and sold all the looted wealth into the hands of the common people, and won the support of a large number of people in the capital for a while.

Jiang Xiao became the desire of the people, which had to make the court ordered to arrest Jiang Xiao's central capital official Shangshu Zhao Qi. Jiang Xiao is not only the will of the people, but also changeable, and dozens of people see different faces. Therefore, Zhao Qi didn't know what Jiang Xiao looked like.

This matter was delayed for several months, and now Emperor Wei and King Huai have put pressure on Zhao Qi one after another, and in desperation, Zhao Qi and the master of the palace agreed on a plan to set up more than a dozen strong men on the street to pretend to rob the people's daughters. Acting in a play to lure Jiang Xiao to appear, Jiang Xiao is a chivalrous heart, and when he encounters such a scene, he will definitely save the people who were robbed, and when the time comes, more than a dozen strong men are not afraid of not being able to catch a Jiang Xiao.

It's a pity that this Zhao Qi can be counted as Jiang Xiaohui's appearance, but he is not considered to be this person's martial arts are extremely high, more than a dozen strong men are invincible to him, this young man is very cunning, and he actually played more than a dozen strong men under the Zhongdu Mansion in the palm of his hand, teasing him all morning, and then suddenly disappeared, which made the men so angry that their heads and feet were numb, and they were crazy.

When Zhao Qi heard the news, he was greatly disappointed and became angry in the house. This arrest not only did not succeed, but once again greatly increased the goodwill in the hearts of the people of Jiang Xiaoluoyang, and made all the faces of the Zhongdu Mansion lose their faces, and became the laughing stock of the entire Luoyang after dinner, can Zhao Qiyan not be angry?

And at this moment, Jiang Xiao, a young man who made the chickens and dogs jump up and down the Central Capital Mansion, hid in an uninhabited bungalow among many households in the Northeast Guo District, changed into a set of coarse linen clothes with neat movements, took care of his hair a little, and then reached out and touched his face, and actually tore off a face. The young man turned around, greeted the sunlight shining into the room, and gradually showed his true appearance, he stared at the willow leaves swaying at the window, reflecting the sun, the slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, a pair of eyes were charming and charming, turning a deep sadness, a straight nose, pink cheeks slightly morning, red lips lightly pursed, and there was a sinking fish and a goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon.

Jiang Xiao stayed here for a long time, slightly hooked his lips, raised his slender white and tender fingers, pushed open the door of the flat house, slowly came out, and looked carefully, although he was dressed in coarse cloth, he came with a slender figure, and his dusty temperament was self-evident.

Jiang Xiao left the bungalow and quietly walked towards the back alley, and after groping around for about a pillar of incense in the large and small neighborhoods, Jiang Xiao went around to an extremely ordinary bungalow, pushed the door and walked in.

The mottled wooden door creaked, and the people inside seemed to be startled, and when they saw Jiang Xiao who appeared, they hurriedly called into the house, "Brother Xue!" The girl is coming! ”

Seeing that the child who was dozing in front of the hall was suddenly woken up with a panicked look, Jiang Xiao changed into a gentle smile and said softly to the little boy who was guarding the door, "It's hot in the afternoon, it's really drowsy, if you are too sleepy to keep vigil, go down and rest at this time." ”

The child was flattered, and hurriedly kowtowed to Jiang Xiao, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the girl's compassion!" ”

Jiang Xiao bowed slightly, and walked towards the house. At this time, in the inner hall of the flat house, a man heard the call of the little boy, and rushed out of it with a crawl, only to see that the person who came out was disheveled, the green silk was scattered, and there were still traces of being bitten on his lips and cheeks, and his body was flooded with confusion and undissipated heat.
