Evading the pursuit all the way, Su Yi was already penniless, except for a set of tattered clothes, there was only a piece of jade pendant left in his body. In the memory of the original owner of this body, this jade pendant is a family heirloom of the Su family, with a green body and excellent jade quality.

"Everyone is dead, what are you doing with this jade pendant?" Su Yi laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "Brother, I have taken your body, this jade pendant has been kept for you to this day, and it can be regarded as the end of benevolence, and now I am at the end of my rope, I can only pawn the jade pendant of your family, if he can mix up the name in the future, and then redeem it." ”

Although the future is bleak, Su Yi does not intend to hide in Tibet and die in the world. What he saw and heard along the way made him realize that Dachu is now in danger, with internal and external troubles, thieves from all over the country swarming, and piles of grass and grass.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and at a time when the crowd is everywhere and the chaos has been revealed, this may be a rare opportunity. After Su Yi pawned the jade pendant, he went to the blacksmith shop and created a relatively sharp Pu knife, he originally wanted to buy a horse, but considering that he didn't know how to ride a horse, and once he rode a horse, the target was too big and it was not easy to avoid pursuit, so he just bought two sets of clothes to carry with him.

Although it is not peaceful now, there are a lot of who travel the world with swords, Su Yi looked his outfit up and down, and there was a bit of a chivalrous taste.

On this day, the weather was very hot, Su Yi had been on the road for a long time, and felt a little dry, so he found a tea stall to rest.

The tea stall was set up under the shade of the tree, and there were a few customers sitting in twos and threes, and it was quite empty. Su Yi asked for a pot of tea, and not long after he sat down, he heard a gentle voice behind him.

"It's hot, this boy doesn't mind if I come over and squeeze it, right?" It was a middle-aged scribe who spoke, with an elegant temperament but not losing his majesty, with a dark green jade pendant pinned to his waist, which was exquisitely clear, and in terms of appearance, it was much better than Su Yi's family heirloom jade pendant.

And next to the middle-aged scribe stood a young man, who had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a slender figure, but his expression was a little arrogant, and he just glanced at Su Yi lightly. The four people behind the middle-aged scribe were looking around vigilantly, and there was a bit of scrutiny in their eyes when they looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi retracted his gaze and smiled slightly: "Please take a seat." ”

The middle-aged scribe laughed, flicked his sleeves, and beckoned the young man next to him to sit down, while the four were still standing behind him, but they had no intention of sitting down.

Seeing the two of them seated, Su Yi didn't feel uncomfortable, and only after a few sips of tea did he hear the middle-aged scribe say, "Childe is from the capital, right?" ”

When Su Yi heard this, he was shocked, and couldn't help but put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked at the middle-aged scribe, "How did Mr. know?" ”

The middle-aged scribe said with a smile: "Listening to your accent, it seems that you are from Beijing, and besides, you look like you are in a hurry, but I don't know where the son is going?" Maybe you and I just happened to be together. ”

Su Yi smiled awkwardly, he didn't want to continue to discuss this issue with the middle-aged scribe, so he said perfunctorily: "There is no purpose in going out to play, besides, I like freedom, and I am used to being alone." ”

"Humph!" The young man snorted coldly, looked at Su Yi dissatisfiedly, and stopped talking.

The middle-aged scribe smiled and waved his hand, the young man immediately turned his head away, no longer paying attention to Su Yi, and the middle-aged scribe said at this time: "The son is young and has an outstanding temperament, the old man is a merchant in Shuzhong, and he has been running around all year round, but he can't compare to the son so free and uninhibited." ”

Su Yi raised the tea bowl quietly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, although the middle-aged scribe had a Shu accent, but he sounded a little awkward, he always felt that the other party was not like a Shu person, but he met the other party for the first time, and it was not easy to say it, so he could only pretend not to know. In his previous life, his career in the military academy cultivated his cautious and careful character, and now that he is on the run, he must be careful in everything.

"Mr. is dressed lightly, I don't know what kind of business to do?"

"Now that the merchants are outside, the business is not easy to do." The middle-aged scribe didn't seem to hear the meaning of Su Yi's words, and sighed with emotion: "This Shu road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, Shu is rich in resources, but there are not many business routes to the outside world, and now it is inconvenient to come and go, and the cost on this road alone is a lot, I wanted to go to Jiangnan to purchase some tea and transport it to Shuzhong for sale, but this land route takes too long, so I can only change to the waterway, but unfortunately the waterway is at all levels, I am afraid that it is another loss-making transaction." ”

After hearing this, Su Yi said disapprerovitly: "Land and water routes are not safe, and I am afraid that this business will be difficult for Mr." ”

"Oh? What does this mean? The middle-aged scribe wondered.

"For example, there is a great chaos today, thieves are rising everywhere, even if it is an official road, there will occasionally be some bandits and thieves robbing the road and plundering goods, not to mention those difficult paths." Su Yi saw that the middle-aged scribe smiled slightly, and seemed to disagree, so he continued: "As for the waterway, the water bandits are rampant now, and it is not necessarily too peaceful. ”

The middle-aged scribe glanced at Su Yi, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then said, "The world is in chaos?" Is Childe's words a little alarmist? Yes, bandits are rampant in various places nowadays, but these ant thieves can be destroyed with a single move, so there is no need to worry at all. ”

"The root cause of the chaos in the world is not in these thieves, but because the Great Chu court is rotten to the roots, and now the Great Chu Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and there are many factions in the DPRK and China. The emperor is old and faint, favors the eunuchs, and reuses six eleven guards, so that the minds of the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty change, everyone is in danger, and the princes are also fighting openly and secretly, in order to compete for the throne, secretly forming gangs, the contradictions between relatives and eunuchs are becoming more and more prevalent, there are barbarians outside, often intruding on the border passes, looking at the world of Great Chu, the rich Tian Lian Qianmo, the poor have no place to stand, such a scene, is not a big chaos coming? ”

The middle-aged scribe's face was solemn, and he said half-loudly: "The civil officials are greedy for money, the military generals are afraid of death, and the Great Chu Dynasty has indeed rotted to the roots." But Gongzi forgot one thing, although the current Great Chu court is full of holes, there are still millions of troops, whether it is internal worries or external troubles, there is nothing to be afraid of in front of this million army. ”

"The building is about to fall, and there are millions of troops empty, what's the use?" Su Yi smiled disdainfully, in his previous life in the military academy, he was outstanding in all subjects, and he could also analyze macro strategies.

"The taxes are heavy, the people are miserable, these bandits will pop up another batch after suppressing one batch, the more they suppress the more they suppress, the more chaotic they become, and mobilizing the army to quell the rebellion is a symptom but not a cure, and eventually the disease of scabies becomes a serious problem for the heart." Su Yi paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Judging from what I have seen and heard along the way, the local tyrants are powerful, they privately make armor, recruit villagers, and annex the land with the power, and do not put the court and the government in their eyes, and now the Great Chu Dynasty's control over various places is not as good as before, once the majesty of the court is lost, then there are many people who rebel in various places, and the state pastors and border army generals who hold military power will also take advantage of the situation to stand on their own." ”

In fact, this kind of situation, all dynasties in later generations have experienced, civil infighting, eunuchs in power, warlords in various places, the influence of the royal family is gradually weakening, this is a sign of chaos in the world, carelessness is the danger of losing the country, middle-aged scribes are not from later generations, like most people, they think that the imperial power of the Great Chu court is consolidated, the soldiers are strong, but they do not see the potential hidden dangers.

The middle-aged scribe's expression was rare and solemn, he looked at Su Yi with sharp eyes, and said half-loudly: "As Gongzi said, this Great Chu Dynasty is indeed in danger, but Gongzi is alone, don't talk about these words everywhere, so as not to miss his own life." ”

Su Yi was taken aback, and arched his hand to the middle-aged scribe and said, "Teach me." ”

The middle-aged scribe leisurely raised the tea bowl and said with some emotion: "It's ridiculous that those corpses who are vegetarian only know how to deceive and fight for power and profit. He carefully recalled Su Yi's words, and suddenly found that the young man in front of him had a very thorough understanding of the general trend of the world, and this alone was far better than most people in the court.

"The general trend of the world is bound to be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time, so Mr. doesn't have to worry too much." Su Yi is not as melancholy as a middle-aged scribe, he is completely different in this world, and he has offended today's magnates, only for the sake of fleeing everywhere, the chaos in the world has nothing to do with him, and heroes are born in troubled times, only in this way can he win a place in this world.

"A good sentence must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time! Childe is so talented, why not go to the examination to gain fame and serve the country? This famous quote from later generations made the middle-aged scribe's eyes light up, and a hint of sophistication flashed in his eyes.

"I can't pass the test."

"Poof......" The young man who had been lowering his head and not speaking next to him squirted out a sip of tea, he stared at Su Yi viciously, and said a little speechlessly: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you can only talk on paper!" ”

The middle-aged scribe was also stunned, and he didn't react for a while, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing very happily.

"In the opinion of the son, if you have a soldier in charge of a mansion and want to compete in the world at this time, what should you do?" The middle-aged scribe's eyes were burning, and there was a hint of intimacy between his words.

The young man on the side was frightened by the middle-aged scribe's words, and couldn't help but stand up and look at him, while the four people standing behind him also had solemn expressions, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down to become king." Su Yi said nine words lightly.

The middle-aged scribe's hand holding the tea bowl suddenly shook, he lowered his head slightly, revealing his thoughts, and when he raised his head, Su Yi had already put down the tea bowl and left the tea shop alone.

The sun is shining, and the place is empty and rarely populated. There is only one ancient road, I don't know how many people have stepped on it, the weeds on the side are hunted by the wind, the middle-aged scribe looked into the distance, and said for a long time: "This son is really a national warrior, but it's a pity that I have something important to do, and it is not suitable to attract people's eyes and ears, otherwise, this kind of person will definitely be taken back to the state." ”

The young man stood beside him and said with some contempt: "Has the father said it?" I think that kid is just a man on paper, worthy of his father's attention? ”

The middle-aged scribe glanced at the young man and didn't answer his question, but just asked coldly, "How did Liu Han do that?" ”

The young man showed a hint of shame and said: "All the people he brought were killed......"

"He's the only one who escaped, right?"

When the young man heard this, he froze for a moment, and said with a resentful expression: "I will immediately send someone to hunt him down, and never let him escape back to the Qi Palace!" ”

The middle-aged scribe waved his hand, a little disappreciative, and said, "That's it, just run away, what can you do?" Now that the situation in the court is changing, even if King Qi and His Majesty know that the old man has left Bingzhou? ”

He looked into the distance, and his voice became ethereal: "That being said, boy, it was the old man who saved your life." ”;
