Zheng Sheng saluted solemnly: "Yes, I understand." ”

"Actually, did you find out?"

"What?"

"The homeless people didn't want to kill people at first, otherwise the guards and coachmen wouldn't be able to stop them. Your minions are only wounded. They were in the last carriage, and after jumping off, it was they who directly confronted the homeless. As a result, Zheng Cheng was only injured in the arm, and Wang Jun was kicked. ”

Zheng Sheng was confused, "Isn't it?" ”

"They have people to kill. Others are not meant to be killed. Qiu Fuzi looked at Zheng Sheng's thinking and continued, "I was a little far away at the time, but I could see clearly that it was Mrs. Han and Zheng Shang that Qi Mazi wanted to kill, and for you, at first, he just wanted to take the bow and crossbow. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded.

"After Qi Mazi died, Qi Er started to be heavy on you."

"I see. It turns out that I was killed to make an example of the monkey, right? Mrs. Han and Zheng Shang are the chickens, and I am the monkeys. ”

"Zheng Ziqing didn't dare to kill you, if you kill you, your mother, Mrs. Wang, and the Bajun Wang family will not give up. Therefore, his original intention was to kill Zheng Shang's mother and son, if you hadn't insisted that Zheng Shang's mother and son go to Shunyang, maybe this incident wouldn't have happened. ”

"But their mother and son will die on the way to Changsha."

Zheng Sheng smiled: "Mrs. Han has exposed a lot of old things about Zheng Ming, why wasn't she a little out of shape that day?" It was only natural for him to kill them. But Zheng Shang is his son after all, and Zheng Meng is really ruthless. ”

"Kill them, blame the matter on the homeless, and stay out of it yourself." Qiu Chudao sighed: "This person, you must be careful in the future." ”

Zheng Sheng's interception and killing by the homeless people in Huhu Valley spread to Nanyang as quickly as possible, but it did not cause too many waves. Zheng Yuan just dropped the cup, and Zheng Luo is still the Nanyang thief. As if nothing had happened.

Xing Fuyi was buried by Zheng Sheng outside the Huhu Valley, Zheng Sheng learned about his family affairs, the old man only had one daughter, but he died first. It is better to be buried in Huhu Valley than to be buried in his hometown.

Zheng Sheng finally took a boat and set off from Xixian to return to Shunyang.

The journey was uneventful, and Qi Er's lie that threatened them in Junshui was self-defeating. The fact is that after Zheng Sheng was in distress in Huhu Valley, the official mansions of Xixian and Shunyang were like facing a great enemy, and all the thieves, soldiers, and county soldiers were dispatched. When the displaced people come to equalize the water again, it is not to kill people, but to throw themselves into the net.

Both on the water.

Qiu Fuzi asked Zheng Sheng: "Ke Wu, do you have ambitions?" ”

Zheng Sheng looked at the green mountains and said softly: "You are good, and you will be happy for a lifetime." ”

Qiu Fuzi almost choked to death with his own saliva, "Even if I was almost killed this time, I didn't grow any progress?" ”

Zheng Sheng spread his hands: "Of course I know, now my situation, my eldest brother covets my title, and from time to time he wants to stab me, and I want to beat him too, but I'm only seven years old, what can I do?" ”

"So, I ask you about ambition, ambition!"

"About ambition." Zheng Sheng immediately thought of the future, the dim Eight Kings Rebellion and the Five Hu Chaohua era, "A lot of things will happen when I grow up, maybe a casual little thing will change my life." Zheng Sheng looked at him and was about to go crazy again, and immediately changed his words: "Ambition? I don't think there's a need to think about far-reaching things, just do what is right now. For example, I'm going to ......"

"Ambition!"

"Okay?" What's wrong with this old man? Ambition? His former ambition was to take refuge in Jiangnan with his family after the troubled times. How do you say this to the old man?

"What do you think I should be aiming for?" Zheng Sheng said to Qiu Chudao with a bitter face.

Qiu Fuzi blew his beard, glared, and roared: "I'm asking about your ambitions!" ”

Zheng Sheng shrank his head, and he pondered carefully, "My father is Tinghou, I can't be worse than him, Tinghou." No, the township marquis, earn a township marquis and come back, the ambition is big enough, right? ”

"The townsman is a fourth-rank title. And, are you really planning to get from Rong? ”

"Huh?"

"Unless the title is attacked, the knighthood still has to rely on military merits to accumulate faster! No matter how well Wenchen does it, unless there are special circumstances, that is, he will give you a good name after death. Military generals are different, and they have made meritorious contributions, except for promotion, they are knighted! ”

"Of course, if Wenchen is as tall as Shang Shuling and the Eighth Duke, the Duke will be simple."

Zheng Sheng scratched his head, Hachiko? Shang Shuling? This is the level of a national leader, and he, the son of a pavilion, can't do this position, right?

Do you really want to be a soldier?

Zheng Sheng suddenly thought, did he really want to run? If he can train an elite soldier before the troubled times come, like the ancestor who smells the chicken and dances, he will go north to the Central Plains. As long as General Zu misses a little credit to him, isn't the Marquis of Xiang still handy?

And, how do you say that? Coming out of the barrel of a gun, uh, that doesn't seem to be the right phrase either. But what is certain is that in troubled times, if you have an army in your hands, you will not be bullied. If you can really live in seclusion like Tao Yuanming, it is certainly not bad.

But the reality is that he is not alone, he has a lot of people now, and he even started to do business, his paper, stir-fried vegetables, and soy milk, in troubled times, are not they robbed by people who say they will rob them?

So, for his own safety, he needs strength. Like the Huhu Valley incident, Zheng Sheng was never willing to go through it a second time.

Think about Zheng Ming, a small Nanyang thief like him, he can mobilize dozens of homeless people to kill for him.

Zheng Sheng didn't want this, he wanted to cultivate an elite force that was loyal to him. You don't need much, as long as you can fight and have high loyalty.

Now, he has four "elites" under him: Zheng Quan, Li Anjian, Wang Jun, and Song Zhi. East Valley? It really can't be counted.

Thinking of the current situation, Zheng Sheng was worried.

Qiu Fuzi watched Zheng Sheng frown from time to time, and from time to time excitement emerged, he patted Zheng Sheng on the shoulder: "What are you thinking?" ”

Zheng Sheng came back to his senses, but he didn't know how to say it.

After half a ring, he said, "Master, I think the quality of the Zheng family is too poor. You see, when encountering homeless people, nine people against eleven homeless people, a fiasco. There were actually two people who ran away, and their loyalty was not enough. ”

"Let's take it step by step, let's make a small plan first: I plan to train hard, and train a reliable family guard. Like Li Anjian, Zheng Quan, Wang Jun, and Song Zhi, they can't do it now. This time, Zheng Zheng and their performance were too weak. It must be practiced. ”

On the boat behind, Zheng Quan, Song Zhi, and Wang Jun suddenly felt a chill.

Qiu Fuzi didn't say anything more. After a long time, he said faintly: "You can write a thousand words quickly!" With your talents, it is not impossible to be a civil official. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, disapproving, the thousand-character text was plagiarized by him, so he learned it? Does he have it? Therefore, Zheng Sheng really doesn't plan to become a civil official by reciting ancient texts and scriptures.

"Master, I've always wondered, why did you suddenly ask me to write an essay that day?" Zheng Sheng remembered the original intention of writing a thousand-character essay.

Qiu Chudao's face stiffened, of course he wouldn't tell Zheng Sheng, he was taking revenge on the previous matter, Qiu Fuzi looked at the river: "Of course I want to help you make a name for yourself." ”

"But I want to keep a low profile."

"Low-key? Do you want to keep a low profile and avoid your big brother's edge? Qiu Fuzi shook his head, "Impossible." No matter what, he'll deal with you. ”

Zheng Sheng now understands this truth, Zheng Miao has never thought of living peacefully with him from beginning to end. The so-called low-key behavior to avoid the edge is just Zheng Sheng's wishful thinking.

Then the reason why I didn't write a thousand-word essay at once now doesn't exist at all. So write a thousand-word essay as quickly as possible!

After walking more than half the way, Wu Yunlu came over, looking at Zheng Sheng's silent appearance, he sneered: "Are you remorseful? Remorse for the dead? Remorse that old man blocked the knife for you? ”

"Don't think too much of people, if you kill you, you will definitely kill everyone. Kill you and kill him, it's just in a different order. ”

"But, he's dead, I'm not dead." Zheng Sheng looked at him.

"I saved you, and the old man died for you, do you still have to mourn for him? He died for you, and he also had the idea that if you did not die, you would repay his descendants. So his descendants, you just need to take care of them more. ”

Zheng Sheng was silent.

"I got off the boat and I'm leaving."

"I saved you this time to repay the previous life-saving grace." Wu Yunlu said indifferently, "I saved more than a dozen of you, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness before Qing." ”

"It's good here." Wu Yunlu looked at the landscape in front of him, "Sniff, I'll leave it to you to take care of." Those two boys, you can do it! ”

Zheng Sheng was stunned, the treatment of this man and woman is different!

Wu Yunlu and Liu Neng left quietly.

Zheng Sheng and his entourage finally returned to Shunyang.
