Chapter 3: A Generation of Empresses

At the foot of Wang Shun Mountain.

Li Zhen and Zhao Wan accompanied Li Xiao to the ancestral cemetery of the Li family to worship.

"Father, mother, the child is not filial, and he came back late."

In front of the grave of the second elder, Li Xiao worshiped the second elder. Since he came to this time and space a month ago, he is no longer a simple self, and there is already a lingering Li Xiao and Li Saburo in his soul. In the past month, Li Xiao's memory has been completely integrated into his soul, and it can be said that the Li Jiapo Li Sanlang in the past has also become a part of him.

Facing the two graves, Li Xiao vowed to take back the Li family's property and vowed to take care of Li Zhen and Zhao Wan.

Doctor Zhao couldn't help but sigh with a cane, he thought that he couldn't live anymore, and he planned to quietly escape here with his daughter Zhao Wan and Li Zhen, but now it seems that Li Xiao is back, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Five years, this kid doesn't know where he has gone in the past five years.

The current Li Xiao is a little unfamiliar, but he knows that this is Li Xiao, he secretly observed, Li Xiao has a birthmark on his hand, and even a small scar on the left forehead, which was all in the past, and now he also has it.

Several families in the village all followed behind to worship, and everyone was sincere. These people are tenants of the Li family, and they cultivate the ancestral grave of the Li family, and they do not need to pay rent, and their task is to protect and take care of the ancestral grave of the Li family. Many of them were even refugees who fled the famine in the past, and were taken in by the Li family and arranged here.

Li Dashan is a good person, and everyone misses him.

Doctor Zhao rolled up his sleeves and looked at the group of people on the other side. This group of people all came back with Li Xiao, seven or eight people, some men and women, old and young, young and strong, and there were also a few women. When they came to the village just now, they all rode horses and mules, although they were not tall horses, but it was not simple.

In these days, even if it is an old horse and mule, it is not cheap.

When Lao Zhao Tou was young, he also walked the rivers and lakes, and he was well-informed, and he felt that this group of people was not simple.

He planned to ask Li Xiao after five years away from home and suddenly came back, where he went and what he did in the past five years. And now that he is back, can he help the Li family solve the current problem?

"Brother, I'm hungry, I'll go back and cook for you."

Li Zhen picked up her brother and said with concern.

"Well, it's lunchtime, too." Li Xiao nodded.

Went down the mountain and returned to the village, Li Zhen now lives in Lao Zhaotou's home, saying that it is a home, in fact, it is just a thatched house, it used to be a livestock shed, Lao Zhao left Li Jiapo and his daughter placed here, and then the ancestral house of the Li family was lost, and Zhao Wan took Li Zhen over.

Low thatched huts topped by thatched roofs on the hills, and walls made of willow branches and pasted with yellow mud.

The houses are low.

Pushing open the wooden door, it was dark inside.

It took Li Xiao a while to get used to the darkness in the house, which was as simple as the outside.

It is simply divided into three rooms, the middle one is both a kitchen and a living room, in fact, there is also a fire pit on the ground, on which a black clay pot is erected, a small wooden table next to it, and a few small wooden stilts on the side.

There was no chimney, no stove, let alone ondol or anything like that.

The two rooms, one on the left and one on the right, are a bedroom for Zhao Wan and Li Zhen, and one is the bedroom of Lao Zhaotou. said it was a bedroom, but Li Xiao took a few looks, and it was just a straw curtain door, and then a simple bed inside.

Li Zhen and Zhao Wan were both happy and busy preparing lunch.

Li Xiao saw that there was still a little food in the clay pot, yellow with black and green things, and after a closer look, he recognized that it was a porridge cooked with millet sandwiched with bran and mixed with wild vegetables.

If it were in the later life, it might be said that this is what kind of coarse grain wild vegetable dietary fiber is good for health, but Li Xiao shook his head when he saw it, the meal of the three people was actually such a wild vegetable bran porridge, which was very thin, without any oil and water. No wonder Li Zhen and Zhao Wan are so thin, how can they not be thin after eating this.

"The Zhang family is too deceitful!" Li Xiao said angrily.

Guo Biao was waiting for this sentence, "San Lang, why should we put up with him, go directly to the door, there is revenge, there is revenge!" ”

Li Xiao suppressed his anger, he made a decision to come back a month ago, and he had already chosen another path, so naturally it was impossible to accept Guo Biao's kind of proposal again.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about the rest."

"Pillar, you go to the street and buy some food and come back. Buy some rice noodles, remember to cut some meat, and buy a few chickens. Li Xiao looked at the thin Zhao Wan and Li Zhen and couldn't help but feel pity.

The young man in his twenties standing behind Guo Biao stood up when he heard the voice, stopped talking, and finally walked up to Li Xiao and said softly, "San Lang, we've run out of money." ”

Li Xiao frowned, "All used up?" ”

"I ran out yesterday."

"Sit down here, I'll go out for a moment."

After Li Xiao finished speaking to everyone, he walked out of the dim hut.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Sanniang, brother is walking here."

After walking out for a while, there is a hillside, a pine forest. Walking into the forest, he found an old tree and sat down, looking at the thatched house under the slope, he was a little depressed.

In January, I rushed back to Guannai from Jiangnan day and night, thinking that it would be good to get home, but who would have expected that this place has changed so much.

A month ago, when he inexplicably traveled to this time and space, he possessed that Li Sanlang. At that time, Li Xiao was on the way to escape, and he fell into the water and drowned during a breakout, but he crossed the possession and became the new Li Xiao.

No one knows what Li Xiao, who suddenly returned after five years away from home, has been doing outside in the past few years. No one knows that Li Xiao is actually a fugitive now.

Not only him, but the eight people he brought back were all fugitives.

They are not ordinary fugitives, but rebels. Last year, the floods in Jiangnan Province affected the people in Wuzhou and many other places, and at the beginning of this year, when the green and yellow were scarce, the famine came, and the imperial court and government not only did not provide timely relief, but many corrupt officials and corrupt officials took the opportunity to embezzle and extort money, and there were even many local powerful landlords who took the opportunity to lend money and annex land.

The victims couldn't survive anymore, so some people came straight to the front.

Chen Shuozhen, a woman from Muzhou, was dissatisfied with the greed and coercion of the officials, and her brother-in-law Zhang Shuyin and others rebelled in Qingxi County, Muzhou.

Li Xiao was also there at the time, and he joined the uprising with his heroic blood, and with his bravery, he quickly became a general of Wenjia Emperor Chen Shuozhen.

The rebel army is like a spark burning the prairie fire, but it can come and go quickly. Under the attack of the north and south of Yangzhou and Wuzhou, the rebel army, which was composed of farmers, hawkers and other victims, was a rabble, and was defeated one after another, and then dispersed. Within March, Emperor Wenjia and her ministers were captured and killed, and the rest of the rebels either surrendered or fled.

The original Li Xiao drowned when he was fleeing, but it just happened to let the current Li Xiao cross and possess him.

'Li Xiao, who came to life', knew that it was actually the fourth year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, and immediately understood that there was no way out of this rebellion.

In the fourth year of Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty, that was the name of Gaozong Li Zhi, Li Zhi was the son of the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, and at this time it was only four years before the death of the Heavenly Khan.

A generation of empress Wu Zetian has not risen yet, the Tang Dynasty's country is still stable, and the prosperous rebellion is possible, how can it succeed with a few victims?

In this rebellion in history, the only pen and ink left was the first empress in history, Wenjia Emperor Chen Shuozhen, who was officially called the emperor.

After gathering a few remnants of his subordinates, Li Xiao immediately decided to return to Guanzhong.

Jiangnan is searching for the remnants of the rebels everywhere, and it is extremely unsafe to stay. On the contrary, it is Guanzhong, and the feet of the Son of Heaven are the safest. Li Xiao told everyone that he wanted to come to Chang'an, saying that his family was a big landlord in Lantian and could help everyone get a new identity.

The desperate crowd followed, and finally reached the Blue Bridge, leaving eight men, women, and children.

On the way, Li Xiao originally told everyone that he was good, and when he arrived at Li Jiapo in Lanqiao, he told his family that he had traveled abroad in the past few years, saying that these people were friends he had met in Jiangnan, and because his family was affected by natural disasters and military disasters, he followed him to Guanzhong to avoid disasters, hoping to take refuge in the Li family.

It's good now, I have worked hard all the way to Guanzhong, but the Li family is in a situation now.

In the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, although the Heavenly Khan had passed away, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty was even greater.

This is a glorious prosperous era, the Tang Empire, under the leadership of the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, washed away the shame of paying tribute to the Turks at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty with a sword and sword, and the powerful Turks trembled under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

In such a strong era, Li Xiao really didn't have any idea of changing the dynasty, he originally thought about it, returning to Lanqiao, being a carefree landlord, wouldn't this day be beautiful and leisurely.

But now, it's not peaceful.

Rubbing his forehead, his head hurts a little.

The decay of the Li family, and the 'wife'······

They have to find the Zhang family for revenge, but the top priority is to fill their stomachs, the little savings in their hands have been used up, and they only have a few horses and mules left in their hands, although they can sell them for some money, but it is also relatively difficult to sell for a while.

After looking left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, Li Xiao silently recited in his heart, and in the next moment, his whole person appeared in a strange space.

The surrounding area was hazy and white fog, surrounding a place about ten square meters in size. In this room-sized space, there is a clear spring in one corner, the spring is not large, but the water is extremely clear.

By the spring, there is a black land.

Standing here, Li Xiao was no longer surprised, no longer the surprised and uneasy he was when he first entered. After this period of exploration, he found that although this was a very magical space, it was really not dangerous.

This space seemed to exist in his heart, and he could enter and go out at any time as long as he meditated in his heart. This space was shrouded in white mist all around, and there seemed to be an invisible force field, making it impossible for him to break through the limits of the white mist.

This small space in the fog is also quite magical after experimentation.

The spring water was called the spiritual spring by him, and the black soil was called the spiritual soil by him, because he found through experiments that he could bring in plant seedlings or seeds from the outside to plant, and use the spiritual spring to water the seedlings planted on the spiritual soil, which not only grew very quickly, but also grew very well, and even shortened the maturity cycle, especially valuable It was also able to ignore factors such as seasonal climate.

Li Xiao's eyes fell on the land by the spring, where rows of cucumbers were planted, cucumber seedlings climbed all over the shelves, and among the green leaves were tender green cucumbers with thorny tops.

Looking at these cucumbers, Li Xiao thought about this cold winter, if these out-of-season cucumbers are sold in the town, maybe they are really a rare thing and can be sold at a good price.
