"It's the best of dynasties, and it's the worst of dynasties."

After the Spring and Autumn Rebellion, the Yuanqing Empire unified the country. The first emperor worked hard to formulate the eighteen sparse rules for governing the country. From politics, economics to the military. Nothing has changed, nothing has been re-established. The first emperor adhered to the idea of "not breaking and not standing, and breaking and then standing", and almost broke all the systems between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. First and foremost is the civil service.

The first emperor thought that there were too many readers in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Talking about current affairs all day long, not doing practical things. For example, in Nan Chen, the literati were in power, and the military attachés were far away from the center of power, resulting in the weak military force of Nan Chen, and the soldiers were powerless. Nanchen is located in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the total number of people in the country is millions, but there are only tens of thousands of soldiers. Among them, there are 36 large and small academies, which are claimed to have more than 10,000 students. Emperor Nanchen loved poetry and loved the academy. People who love to read are more than they love their own soldiers, so there will be a situation where there are millions of Nanchen, but the number of troops is only tens of thousands. In the end, the first emperor believed that there were too many scholars in Nanchen, and the literati of the entire court were in power, and the generals were almost excluded. Therefore, Nan Chen has become less and less successful in the past year, but has participated in the imperial examination, and more and more people want to break their heads and want to get into the literati group.

Therefore, Nan Chen was defeated, and Chu Li, the general under the command of the first emperor, led 100,000 troops, which lasted only five days and broke the city gate. This battle Chu was living in the carriage, but he didn't take a single step, and an order was issued.

"In a country ruled by the literati, its soldiers are not well fed, they are not fed, their strength is insufficient, and their willpower is very weak. I have 100,000 energetic armor soldiers, and I can't break through a single Nan Chen?"

Sure enough, Chu Li's army broke through thirteen cities in the first four days, and when they came to the capital of Nanchen on the fifth day, they saw that the city gate was not closed, and people came out of the city one after another, these people had no weapons and no armor. As far as the eye can see, there are all white-clothed scholars, some old and some young. Leading the crowd was an old man in green clothes, the old man was ragged, staggering, and seemed to walk staggeringly, but he walked faster than those young scholars. He also has a book in his hand.

That day, Chu Li got out of the carriage for the first time and looked directly at the old man in Tsing Yi.

The old man stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at him in bewilderment. The old man in Tsing Yi motioned for them to go first, but the scholars didn't have the courage to take a step forward when they saw the tens of thousands of armor soldiers in Hesse outside.

The old man shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, he stretched out his five fingers again, and made a calculation.

After a while, the old man vomited blood from his mouth and coughed several times. His face is pale and his lips are purple. "Don't count all the hexagrams, especially not yourself. To this day, I still can't get to that point?" Tsing Yi laughed at himself, "Well, there are some things, where do you need to use hexagrams." ”

Tsing Yi turned around and finally met Chu Li's gaze.

"I am a scholar of my generation, dedicated to studying, and have never participated in the war, can the general let go of the people of the academy?" the old man was the first to speak.

Chu Li sneered three times and was silent.

"Nan Chen has no ambitions, has no intention of competing for hegemony with the world, and has no intention of being an enemy of Yuanqing. Now that the general has broken thirteen cities in a row, if necessary, he will take the capital with him, and implore the general not to kill innocents indiscriminately after entering the city. ”

Chu Li turned his back, as if he didn't want to hear more from the old man.

"Does the general have a pursuit in this life, but does he have a trace of pity?" the old man's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Dare to ask Mr. Yes?" Chu Li turned around, smiling rather than smiling.

The old man in Tsing Yi pointed at the group of scholars.

Chu Li still shook his head.

"Don't talk about it?"

"I really don't have to talk about it. ”

The old man apparently knew the answer for a long time, and remained silent. He slowly opened the book in his hand and muttered. However, there is not a word in the book, and it is white.

The book says that conscience has no other, and conscience is only a heart of right and wrong. I don't know if Yuan Qing has a conscience, but I know that Nan Chen has a conscience, Nan Chen doesn't fight for power or hegemony, he just wants to sow a few seeds of reading. My pursuit is also simple, I have taught all my life, and finally I selected so many readers, but unfortunately looking at what they did today, I do regret a little, but they are still young. Everyone in the world said that Nan Chen was a group of weak scholars, and he did not dare to send troops to fight, and even the country was about to perish, and the scholars did not dare to take up arms to resist. ”

"It seems to make sense, but Nan Chen, who is a scholar, is too young to understand some truths after all. ”

"Then, let me, an old man, let the world know that my generation of scholars can not only read one or two lines of poetry. The so-called: virtue and meritorious service. It's not an empty phrase.

"Nan Chen is here, and the scholars are here. ”

From the first sentence of the old man, the vision of heaven and earth gradually rose, first thunder and lightning, and then torrential rain. The strange thing is that this rain does not fall among the old man and these scholars.

Chu Li is third in the martial arts list. Coming out of the barracks step by step, he was unable to move in the face of this vision of heaven and earth, and he gradually began to be afraid, and he realized that this old man's way was far beyond his expectations. But what?

On that day, Chu Li was seriously injured and his realm plummeted. The old man in Tsing Yi faced 100,000 armor soldiers and desperately protected 300 Nanchen scholars. Then the old man disappeared, and it was rumored that he had gone to Taihe Mountain.

Today, Nanchen has become a state of the Yuanqing Empire, named Gusu.

There is a river around the periphery of Suzhou, and the name is graceful. This river has given Gusu special vitality, whether it is cultivation or water transportation, it has the potential to become the first state in the south of the Yangtze River.

Suzhou is bustling everywhere, with the exception of one street. That is Yushui Street, which is located in the southernmost part of Suzhou and is precisely the area of the poor area. Gu Suzhou "the north is chaotic, the west is rich, the east is expensive, and the south is poor", which is called the northern chaos because it is close to the wharf and there are many idle people gathered here. Xifu is because the most important real estate in Suzhou is here, and he can own a house in this area, which is also called a rich man. As for the Donggui and the Southern Poor, the people in power in Suzhou live in the east to facilitate their office. In the south, due to the lack of development, there is a phenomenon of poor people living together.

And Yushui Street is a representative of its southern poverty. There are seven households living in this street, and the houses are not even fed. The first family on Yushui Street was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. The boy was pale, listless all day, and liked to look at it when the sun was setting. The young man's name is Zhiqiu, and the neighbors don't know his surname, so they can only shout Zhiqiu Zhiqiu. In the eyes of outsiders, the neighbors are very intimate with this young man.

But this is not the case.

The boy was still watching the sunset on the roof of the house that day, and his eyes were slightly narrow. The others didn't know what they were thinking, but a few people of the same age as him in the next door saw it, so they quietly hid behind him and "bang!", and the man with a red brand on his forehead smashed the stone in his hand at the boy. Hit him in the back, and after the boy was hit, he glanced back, his eyes narrowing again.

"An Wu's leg in the fifth household was lame yesterday, and Ye Qi's hand in the sixth household broke last month. As he spoke, the boy jumped off the roof, his eyes suddenly opened, "So, do you want to cut off your hands or feet this month?"

The red-branded man held up two fingers, and the rest of the teenagers stepped back. "Xiao Zhiqiu, why don't you talk about him in the second household?" After hearing this, several teenagers behind him moved their steps forward again, and their expressions were obviously much more relaxed.

"The stupid big guy in the second household? I thought he was your father, and he talked about it all day. I can't beat it, but it's more than enough to pack up a few of you. As he spoke, Zhiqiu squinted his eyes again, with a smile on his face.

The red-branded man was not in a bad mood when he heard this, but suddenly said with a smile: "Let me tell you Xiao Zhiqiu, tomorrow the second brother said that he will select a few strong men in our Yushui Street, and he will compete with the "One Knife Guest" in the north. He said that you are good, let me come and ask you to go with me, do you want to appreciate your face?"

Zhiqiu jumped on the roof again and lay on the roof again. By the way, he also crossed his legs, and his eyes were simply not too much, so he closed them directly. "Is it good?"

"The third brother knows your preference, the old man's baked cakes in Chengximi's house, I have prepared ten of them for you!" said the red-branded man excitedly.

"Sincerity is not enough. Zhiqiu pursed his lips, "If you fight, you will be injured, maybe you will have to fight hard."

"At most, I'll give you three strings of sugar gourds from Old Man Li's house in the east of the city!" said the brand man through gritted teeth after hearing this.

"That just stoned me......" Zhiqiu bounced up, opening his eyes and staring at them, a smile in the corner of his eye.

"Okay! The matter of the fifth and sixth brothers, the second brother also said that he was not to blame for the past. ”

"Feasible!"

So on this day of fireworks in March, the "One Breath Fist" composed of Yushui Street was established.

After the group of people led by the red brand boy left, a gray-clothed young man slowly walked out of the house, with a yellow face and thin muscles, about twelve or thirteen years old, and he was no different from passers-by from a distance, but a sword mark on the right face was particularly eye-catching. "What are the second and fourth brothers thinking, pull you in too, I'm afraid they forgot about the past few years. The gray-clothed young man held a branch in his hand on the ground, drawing haphazardly, and his mouth was muttering.

"The others don't matter, even though I've been fighting with these guys on our street for a few years, in fact sometimes I envy their relationship. When I first moved to Yushui Street, didn't the unlucky guy in the first household break his leg? That night, the stupid big guy stood at my door and almost beat me to death. Zhiqiu sighed as he spoke, "I, too, hope that there will be such a group of brothers who are born and die!"

"Heh, Brother Qiu, aren't you afraid that you will be killed the next time you meet your second brother?" The gray-clothed young man looked indifferent, but there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Excuse me!" Zhiqiu made an exaggerated gesture of boosing.

"Brother Qiu! I will tell the second brother what you just said! Don't worry!"

"Dare to ask which one?"

"The words of caution!" the gray-clothed young man laughed and ran out the door.

In the thirteenth year of Yuanqing, Gusuzhou Yushui Street, that group of teenagers lived a chic life.
