Cai attaches great importance to filial piety all over his body, and is discussing with his brother and cousin to deal with Mingyuezhuang.

At this moment, the butler with a short body and a shiny head came in and handed over the report of the imperial palace he had just received to Cai Quan.

Cai Quan squeezed this report tightly, he knew that at least until the end of the Jiangnan War, he couldn't take Li Xiang and Mingyuezhuang what happened.

Yao Pingzhong's defeat was equivalent to giving Fang La an extra winter to reorganize his troops, and it was normal for the war in Jiangnan to drag on for a year or two. If the situation deteriorates further, then ......

Cai Quan smiled bitterly, "It seems that there is no way to take Li Xiang and Mingyuezhuang recently." ”

Seeing that the second brother and cousin were very depressed, Cai Quan said again: "But you can't let Li Xiang be too proud." Since he took refuge in Jiangmen, wanted to fight against the gentry and hide himself, I just didn't let him get his wish! ”

"Da Zhou and the scholars share the world, Li Xiang actually won over the battalion commander and the head of the forbidden army, and cooperated with the commander and the commander, wanting to take away the largest piece of cake of the charcoal stove and the new ironware? In this way, not only offended the gentry of the big clans, but also offended the black and white forces and porters in various places, and even offended the old brokers and the officials who ate the middle meal. ”

"Second brother, I heard that the Jiangmen Wang family has not been doing well in the past few years, and they are a little anxious? You start from here, first destroy the trust inside the Jiangmen, and Li Xiang's reliance will be much weaker. Then pull up the unfilial descendants of the Jiangmen Ma family and go to make trouble for Ma Rulan, the woman who performed sumo, isn't she Li Xiang's sworn sister? ”

Cai Quan's cousin, who takes his family to practice on weekdays, asks Cai Quan about his task.

Cai Quan thought for a moment, "The black and white forces in Gyeonggi Province and the porter at the canal wharf will be handed over to my cousin to contact." Although these people are useless, they can make the people of Mingyuezhuang busy. ”

"The old brokerage and the tooth clerk. Bianjing is handed over to the housekeeper here, Xunyang and Nanyang are handed over to Huang Liren, and the second eldest of the family is in charge of Yexian. Hmph, the second child in the family......"

Of course, Cai Quan has not forgotten his big killer, how to say that he is also a five-grade official in Bianjing, of course he has to play a role.

Cai can't go out with a heavy burden of filial piety, but he can contact the great eunuch Li Yan, and some big clans who covet Mingyuezhuang, and deal with Li Xiang and those martial artists openly and secretly.

The proprietor of Old Master Chen, the commander of the capital, handed over the emergency report of the court to Li Xiang under Bianjing. The secret letter sent by the old general, almost together with the secret letter sent by Liu Chengdong to Li Xiang, arrived at the Mingyuezhuang Courtyard where Li Xiang was.

Li Xiang was still rejoicing at the decision to evacuate Bianjing yesterday, laughing with Bianjing's information, and today he received the news from his father-in-law, and his mood was very complicated.

As the owner of Mingyuezhuang, Li Xiang knows very well that the war in Jiangnan has been delayed for a long time, which is of great significance to the smooth shipment of Mingyuezhuang and the seizure of the market. From this point of view, the unfavorable situation in Jiangnan is actually good news.

But Li Xiang is still Liu Chengdong's son-in-law. Of course, he didn't want Liu Chengdong to get hurt or anything, in that case, Su Su didn't know what to cry about. At the same time, if Liu Chengdong does not make contributions, it is definitely not good news for Mingyuezhuang.

Li Xiang still maintains some concepts of original time and space. Millions of small people in Jiangnan are suffering, but they are rejoicing that Mingyuezhuang is making money smoothly, such a thing, at least the current Li Xiang can't do it.

Li Xiang was in a complicated mood.

Liu Susu is much simpler, she is just worried about Liu Chengdong's safety, and she doesn't think about anything else. Li Xiang comforted him for a while before he comforted the anxious Liu Susu.

Zhang Qingping and Yang Yingdong walked in, and Liu Susu turned into the back hall. Zhang Qingping and Yang Yingdong saluted and sat down.

Li Xiang gave the two of them an order first, "The two of you will hand over the matter at hand, prepare to leave tomorrow, and go back to Mingyue Village with me first." ”

Seeing that the two were puzzled, Li Xiang asked the two to take the newspaper to read it by themselves. After reading it, the two of them were shocked and sat down with complicated expressions.

Zhang Qing bowed in parallel, "Does the owner of the village want to participate in the war?" ”

Yang Yingdong has been trained by Liu Chengdong for many years, and he is old in the army, so he has different opinions, "Joining the war? In what name, it is true that we have five hundred Xunyang archers in Mingyuezhuang, but we ran from Xunyang Mansion to Hangzhou thousands of miles away to fight? ”

"Unless there is an order from the imperial court, it will be very troublesome. But how could the imperial court notice that Mingyuezhuang was a small few hundred archers? A village soldier who was transferred thousands of miles away to fight? Never heard of it. ”

Li Xiang sighed, "The Great Zhou is very strict against martial artists. If I Mingyuezhuang really went down the river and went to fight Fangla, the Xiangjun in Shiyan Prefecture would not be able to pass the pass. ”

"The matter in Bianjing is over, and it's time to go back to Mingyuezhuang and deal with some trouble. As for my father-in-law, the situation is not very bad, so I will keep an eye on Jiangnan and send more supplies. If the situation continues to deteriorate...... We'll talk about that then. ”

After speaking, Li Xiang served tea to the guests.

Zhang Qingping and Yang Yingdong walked to the west, the courtyard where Zhuang Ding practiced, selected good hands, and prepared to follow the owner back to Mingyue Village. Of course, these two people know what the "trouble" in the owner's mouth means, and they have long been resentful of the group of guys who eat inside and out, jumping up and down, but those people have special identities, and they can't say much, so they can only wait for the owner to make a move.

Li Xiang returned to the middle of the courtyard, and in the room that was firmly guarded by dozens of people, Cheng Jianghai, who was dressed in a black robe, was already waiting there.

Cheng Jianghai lifted his big hat and said straight to the point: "When the lord returns to Mingyuezhuang, it is best to bring a few people." ”

Li Xiang was a little surprised, "Oh, then tell me, who should be taken away?" ”

Cheng Jianghai began to roll call.

Pujing'an has been inseparable from Mingyue Village. Of course, Jiang Zhi wants to stay in Pujing'an, but Xiao Jiang Lan wants to bring her back to Mingyuezhuang and let her receive a Mengxue education, which is also Jiang Zhi and Ma Rulan's wish. Jiang Zhi's two younger brothers, Jiang Zhu and Jiang Shu, who had been messing with warrior monks all day long, were taken by Li Xiang and taken away together and put in Mengxue and the recruit camp.

Ma Rulan clearly realized that for a period of time in the future, her own troubles will be indispensable. If you can't find Li Xiang's family, you will definitely keep an eye on her and Ma Chaobei. Despite her reluctance, Ma Rulan still insisted on sending Ma Chaobei to Mingyuezhuang, accompanied by several strong women. The Ma family's in-laws didn't say a word, which was equivalent to acquiescence, but they kept preparing things for their little grandson, for fear that Ma Chaobei would not live well in Mingyuezhuang.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Li Xiang sighed.

Li Xiang only took Liu Susu, Cheng Jianghai, Zhang Qingping, and Yang Yingdong back to the village, so what about Xiong Chengwu, Cheng Jianghu, Yang Jianchuan, and Qin Zhong?

The four troublemakers have their own place to go.

Li Xiang, who was seriously insecure, had a deep conversation with the abbot of Yuanguang, the master of the prison and the head of the warrior monk several times, and agreed to new conditions such as providing 100 "customized charcoal furnaces" and other delicate iron tools every month, only to exchange for 30 places in the warrior monk group, which was changed once a year.

Li Xiang plans to transfer a good guy from Mingyuezhuang to Daxiangguo Temple to boil his body, and he also has to practice boxing, stick and leg techniques. A year is only enough time to get started, and the next thing is up to those guys to work their own, but the process of their efforts is more bloody.

After finding out the reason, there were Li Xiang and Ma Rulan's pleas, and the monk Huiming, who had a conflict with Xiong Chengwu, was quickly released. I don't know where to get the news, so I contacted Li Xiang and said that he could teach the young man in Mingyuezhuang some "hard kung fu", provided that Li Xiang found him a long-term way to make money.

Li Xiang was speechless, he found that the monks of Daxiangguo Temple were enough.

Eating meat from top to bottom doesn't count. Master Yuanguang is a shrewd and oily businessman, and the master of the prison is said to be the kind of person who "eats meat behind his back and has mercy on his face". However, I have never heard of a monk drinking in Daxiangguo Temple, and Li Xiang is not aware of it.

Ahem, back to the point. Li Xiang and Monk Huiming picked a small inn near the south gate of Bianjing to meet and start an "interview".

Li Xiang asked Monk Huiming, what "hard kung fu" do you have? 、

Monk Huiming's answer startled Li Xiang, "If the donor sends the young man to the temple, just to strengthen his body and take care of the family, then the stick and leg methods practiced by the outer disciples are enough." ”

"If the donor lets those young men learn martial arts, it is to better fight with others, then it is still the kung fu of the Sprinkle family. The killing moves of the Sprinkle family, all learned from the first uncle, the most fierce. ”

"Iron rods, iron guns, simple knives, maces, giant axes, can all be used in the sprinkle house, especially the iron rod is the best." After Monk Huiming finished speaking, he sang a Buddha name.

After listening to it, Li Xiang only felt that his teeth hurt, how can Daxiangguo Temple be wonderful? !

Xu felt that Li Xiang looked down on him, and the monk Huiming was furious, so in front of Li Xiang, he played the iron rod and the Pu knife with a whirring sound, and Li Xiang swallowed and salivaed.

Following Ma Rulan, Li Xiang got acquainted with another master.

Li Xiang agreed to invest in the construction of a "Mercy Roast Meat Restaurant" for the monk Huiming, focusing on braised pork and the dishes and dim sum of Daxiangguo Temple. Li Xiang also promised that if he couldn't make money, he would find another way for Monk Huiming. Monk Huiming was satisfied, and left with the contract, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a monk. Some people with a heart almost followed Huiming's movement and found the inn, causing Li Xiang to run away again.

All in all, the people who were brought to Bianjing from Mingyuezhuang either followed Li Xiang back to Mingyuezhuang or went to Daxiangguo Temple to learn martial arts. Either pass the news in secret, or do some private things by the way.

Xiong Chengwu also made arrangements, Li Xiang suddenly thought of one thing, and asked Cheng Jianghai: "Have you found out the bottom of Monk Huiming?" He is a monk and has no shortage of food and drink, why do you want so much money? Could it be that this thief monk Jinwu is hiding Jiao?! ”

Cheng Jianghai was not surprised by some of the quirks of his own owner, but he flipped through for a while, took out a dozen pieces of paper from the book and put together a "broken paper", and replied:

"Monk Huiming, formerly known as XXX, ancestral home XXXXX. Gifted and with great bones. In infancy, he was thrown by his biological parents on the side of the road, but fortunately he was picked up by a monk and returned to Daxiangguo Temple. ”

He was too young to say much. At the age of ten, he went out of Bianjing and became a fate, was robbed by bandits, and killed. Thirteen years old, no different from adults, fighting for three or five big men, not falling behind. The first strange seat is accepted as a disciple. The information was quite detailed, and Li Xiang listened to it with relish, thinking that Monk Huiming was a typical "person who doesn't talk much".

Mingyuezhuang's intelligence network in Bianjing had just been rolled out, and there was not much useful information to be found. Monk Huiming's information is so detailed, there is only one explanation: Monk Huiming is indeed a "strange person", or a strange person.

Cheng Jianghai coughed twice and continued to analyze the information, "Found it, uh...... See for yourself. ”
