Chapter 12 People's hearts are stagnant, and heaven and earth change
In a restaurant in the city of Muzhou, in the private room on the second floor, several young people are chatting......
"This time, I'm afraid that Helan Mountain will be full of corpses again."
"How?"
"This time, the Helan family has exhausted its elite, how many years have there been such movements, if you are not completely sure, how can you be so radical?"
"It's not enough to be radical, now in Muzhou, except for those reckless men on the mountain, how can there be people and horses who can fight? Even if the Helan family is exhausted, as long as one or two thousand people are left in the city, it will be enough to deal with it, is it possible that there are still people who come to Fucheng to die without their means? ”
"Didn't you say someone from the south? Shaanzhou has fallen into the hands of the southerners......"
"Southerners? Do you really dare to say it? The young man who spoke straightened his sleeves, with a contemptuous smile on his face, since the fall of Kyushu and Great Xia, decades have passed, and the remnants of the Hua Dynasty who have lived in Kyushu for generations have long had no sense of belonging to the Hua Dynasty in their hearts, and for those who are in the rich and noble, even more so, they just call the Hua Dynasty south of Kyushu more often than not, and for those who come out of there, they are also called Nanren, most of which is also to show their differences.
"Although at this time, the Li family waved their army north to occupy Shaanzhou, and was lucky to withstand the encirclement and suppression of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Great Xia, but in my opinion, what the Li family can do is only to trap and defend, not to mention that the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty ascended the throne, and the political situation is not stable.
At this point, when I was young, I saw that everyone was in deep thought, and my heart was relieved, I took a sip of wine, sat upright for a while, and continued: "Everyone, this is Muzhou, the center of Kyushu, not to mention that the army of hundreds of thousands of people in Daxia is sandwiched in the middle, just the Helan family's decades of operation, it is not something that thousands of people can shake, if the southerners come here, Kyushu will be in chaos, to say a taboo, lose Muzhou, Kyushu will change hands, Daxia can be defenseless against this?" The Helan family knows what is involved, so what you think is simply alarmist and small-talked. ”
The few people who spoke were all dressed as scholars, and they were all the children of several big families in Muzhou, and it was the scholars who spoke with some prestige, named Lu Chengqi, the son of the Lu family in the city, good at poetry and books, just after the year of his establishment, he has participated in a lot of business in the family, and he is already a leader in terms of understanding and thinking.
"Cheng Qi still looks down on the south in his heart after all, but in the final analysis, ......" For Lu Chengqi's words, several people have their own ideas, but they talk eloquently, but they are reasonable and well-founded, and even in the end, everyone can't refute anything, but the feelings in their hearts may be a little strange.
"Hey...... What Brother Luo means, I understand, everyone has been friends for many years, I don't like to talk about it, although Daxia has gone through the disaster of Yuanmeng, and most of the national strength has been lost, but it is not something that can be moved lightly in the south, how can the grasshopper shake the tree? My Lu family has also done business with the south a few times in the past few years, and I have experienced it firsthand, and I have some understanding of the situation there......" Speaking of this, Lu Chengqi sighed and didn't say anything more, but his face was a little ugly, and when he saw that it was getting late, he was about to get up and say goodbye, and the few people at the same table exchanged a few words of greeting, and they all gave each other away.
The carriage came out of the restaurant, along the path slowly in the alleys of Fucheng, as the center of Kyushu, it has become the central hub of Kyushu, and it is a prosperous scene, especially the Helan family in recent years is also quite relaxed in the city, several groups of people led by the Lu family, take advantage of the situation, with business means, make full use of money, gather a large number of popularity, for Helan Yi's family is given a lot of financial support, otherwise the Helan family will not gradually become a momentum, just a few years into the upper class of the Great Xia.
It is precisely because of this that the Lu family and other people are dependent on the Helan family, and they are also the most worried and even disgusted by the southerners going north, and Lu Chengqi is the later generation of the Lu family, even more so, this time the Helan family is quite optimistic about the large-scale suppression of bandits, at this time, looking at the sporadic lights outside the carriage, he thought about what the family would have to do after the Helan family pacified Mushan, he remembered that an elder of the Helan family liked calligraphy and painting......
After thinking about it, the carriage had arrived at home, got off the carriage in the backyard, and walked a few steps along the path, Lu Chengqi noticed the strangeness of the home, first there were a lot of fresh faces in the home, and the backyard was obviously a lot busy, and the goods that were originally placed in the warehouse were all placed in the backyard at this time, and he vaguely remembered that it was some cloth from the south......
"What are you doing here?" A few busy subordinates looked back at Lu Chengqi, "Why haven't I seen you, who let you in?" Looking at the expressions of several subordinates, obviously not knowing himself, just when he wanted to ask further, the old housekeeper had already hurried over from the front yard, "Young master, young master!" It's your own family, it's your own family. The old housekeeper glanced at a few subordinates, and then turned his head to look at Lu Chengqi.
"Childe, the master has been waiting for you in the study for a long time, come with me." The old housekeeper talked over and over again, and pulled Lu Chengqi to the front yard over and over again, Lu Chengqi knew that the other party was his father's henchman, so he didn't care about those busy subordinates anymore, and looked at the old housekeeper instead.
"What's the big deal at home? How did I not know, these are all found by you? ”
The housekeeper was also anxious to answer, and took Lu Chengqi to the study in the east chamber, "The master is inside, if the son doesn't understand anything, you can go and ask the master, I still have some things here, so I'll go down first." After speaking, the old housekeeper left in a hurry, Lu Chengqi frowned, looked at the hurried figure of the other party, and felt a little inexplicably uneasy in his heart, turned his head into the study, and saw a few people in the study, his face was gloomy, and the suspicion that was still in his heart turned into apprehension at this time......
Earlier in the Mu Mountain, the army of tens of thousands of people in the Helan family has been doing the final finishing, the village in the mountains has long been a mess, the army has been killed all the way in, there is not much resistance at all, and then the family in the village of refuge, several precipitous important places have also missed, the rest is harvesting, the Helan family has been operating in Muzhou for many years, although the soldiers have been comfortable for many years, but in recent years, there have been no fewer killings, and even more just experienced the baptism of the Yuanmeng army, at this time it is even more sharp, on the Mu Mountain, shouting and killing one after another, By the time night approached, the heads had been piled up at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the heads and corpses piled up like a hill, several generals were smiling, and at this time, they all knew that the mountain in front of them would be an inaccessible place for more than ten years, "Did the young master send back the news?" A general in his fifties threw the head in his hand on the ground, took a big sip of wine, and looked at the others.
"Old clam, the young master took people to chase the bandit leader, it can't be said that it is a big fish, you killed the rise, and then the young master left a hole there, waiting for this big fish."
"Haha, my old clam doesn't have that much thought." Saying that, the general known as the old clam poured another sip of wine and raised his knife, "It's not too early, you and I still take someone to greet you, but don't hurt the young master." ”
The other party nodded, and began to organize the team under the mountain, and after a while, it was about to be packed into the mountain, but at this time, there were several loud noises in the Mu Mountain, and where the naked eye could see, the smoke and dust rising from the depths of the dense forest, followed by the scene of several big trees falling, and from the bottom of the mountain, it was like the roar of a demon from the mountain forest......
