I stayed in Xu Mansion for the night, and the next morning, it was time to leave.

Xu Shao did not have the slightest arrogance, and personally came out to bid farewell to Zhao Yue and Pan Yu, and expressed optimism about the future of the two, hoping that the two could use their strength on the right path.

Standing in front of Xu's house, there are mostly stalls selling food on the long street, and there are many shouts in the lively morning market, and the steamed buns in the steamer also exude an attractive fragrance and white steam.

Pedestrians coming and going on the street look over from time to time. In front of the gate, Xu Shao said goodbye to Zhao Yue and Pan Yu, turned around again, and said to the maid standing aside: "You can go to the mansion to get two pieces of money and give them to these two respectively." ”

The maid answered, and went back to the house to get the money.

When Zhao Yue heard this, she was embarrassed, but she didn't react quickly before Pan Yu, so she heard Pan Yu refuse repeatedly: "Mr. Xu Zijiang, how can this be, the eldest husband obtains property with his own strength, and does not rely on gifts from outsiders." ”

Xu Shao smiled lightly, pointed at Pan Yu with his finger, and pretended to be angry: "You young man is too polite, I will give you money, take it, is it possible to laugh at me Xu Mansion for not being able to take out this money?" ”

When Pan Yu heard this, he had to make a long gesture, thanked Xu Shao, and accepted it calmly.

Zhao Yue stood beside Pan Yu, dressed in a sky blue cloth shirt, with cloth shoes on her feet, and a burden on her shoulders, and was about to say some parting words with Xu Shao, but suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly, and asked Xu Shao cautiously: "Mr. Xu Zijiang, I have something I want to ask Mr., Mr. Does Mr. know that there is a bandit leader named Pei Yuanshao near Pingyu City, who occupies the mountain and harms the good people?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Shao thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I only care about the wise and resourceful people in the neighborhood and even in the world, and I don't care about the rats who do evil. Because no matter how powerful they are, it will be difficult for them to reach the hall of elegance after all. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yue admired Xu Shao's high realm even more, so she continued to ask: "Then Mr. Xu Zijiang, can you list some people who can make good plans?" Zhao Yue also went to visit and study in the coming days to increase his knowledge. ”

Xu Zijiang smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and said without thinking: "Of course, let's say that there is a wise man in Jingzhou, named Pang Tong, who is outstanding in learning; Moreover, in the area of Xinye, there is a wise man Wolong, named Zhuge Liang, who is stored in the chest; There is also a person in Songshan, who is said to ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Shao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed a few times, waved his hand, and said: "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, that person doesn't mention it, all he heard are some rumors, no one has seen him until now." ”

Xu Shao's words undoubtedly aroused Zhao Yue's curiosity, and he was about to ask, but the maid had already taken money from Xu's mansion and handed it to Zhao Yue and Pan Yu. Zhao Yue has not had any money on her since the Tiger Prison was imprisoned, and this time she suddenly received so many five baht, and she was happy in her heart, thinking that she would buy some better weapons at the blacksmith shop in Pingyu City for a while, and then exchange them for some food.

After Pan Yu thanked the maid, he received the money into his pocket, and then bowed again, and smiled at Xu Shao: "What Mr. Xu Zijiang said, but that rumored character?" ”

Xu Shao nodded silently and looked at Pan Yu with a smile, in his heart, he seemed to feel that Pan Yu was better than Zhao Yue. Not only because Pan Yu's appearance is comparable to that of a beauty, but also because he pays attention to etiquette and is quite a gentleman.

Compared with Pan Yu, although Zhao Yue's appearance is also handsome, it seems to be somewhat overpowered, and although Zhao Yue also knows how to be polite, compared to Pan Yu, it looks a little wooden.

At this time, Zhao Yue listened to the conversation between Pan Yu and Xu Shao, and it seemed that he was the only one who couldn't understand it, and he was even more curious in his heart, so he asked anxiously: "Is there any master in Songshan?" ”

Pan Yu glanced at Zhao Yue, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Changjiao, it's not good for us to stand and talk in front of other people's houses, it's better to say goodbye first, and then go on the road together, I'll talk to you on the way." ”

When Zhao Yue heard this, she could only say goodbye to Xu Shao with Pan Yu and go on the road together.

In the city in early spring, there are more cold winters that have not yet dissipated, but there is a trace of sunny warmth, walking on the road, feeling the relaxed life of the small town, Zhao Yue's mood is very happy. However, he knew in his heart that he was carrying a major mission - to live up to the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty and achieve great things.

However, to achieve great things, it is necessary to recruit talents from all walks of life, and without the help of people, it is impossible for him to establish a long-term force in the troubled times with the help of one person. Just now, he asked Xu Shao the resourceful people of the world, in fact, it was also for this purpose.

Probably because the Yuedan evaluation is over, and the time is not yet morning, the entire Pingyu City is not as crowded as before, and it seems to be a lot sparse.

Zhao Yue expressed to Pan Yu that she wanted to build a weapon, hoping that Pan Yu could accompany him to the blacksmith shop in Pingyu City, and Pan Yu readily agreed.

When I came to the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith had just woken up. The muscular strong man held a huge hammer in his left hand, rubbed a pair of sleepy eyes in his right hand, and asked with a slight dissatisfaction: "What kind of weapon do you two want to build?" My irons are all ready-made, and if you choose them, I can beat them out this morning. ”

Zhao Yue has followed Liu Zheng to learn swordsmanship since he was in Luoyang, and so far, he is also a good hand in swordsmanship, he thinks about fighting an iron sword first, which can be used for self-defense, and then has the opportunity to go to Lishan in the future, and then take out the Tai'a sword of the ancestor Yingzheng as a common weapon.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue politely said to the blacksmith: "Then bother the blacksmith brother to give me a sword." ”

After hearing this, the blacksmith turned around to make preparations, and then negotiated the price with Zhao Yue, and began to build a fire, with the sound of knocking one after another, the iron pieces in the flame gradually became hot and red.

Zhao Yue stood aside, remembering the Songshan mentioned by Xu Shao just now, so she asked Pan Yudao again: "Brother Xianpu, there is a person on the Songshan Mountain you said just now, what is going on?" ”

Pan Yu patiently explained: "Alas, in fact, it's nothing, it's just a rumor from the outside world that there is an old man who is over 100 years old living in seclusion on Songshan Mountain, with a young face, and he is proficient in historiography, military politics and other policies for governing the country. I also heard that he was also a descendant of the Mengshi clan during the Qin Dynasty. ”

"Qin Dynasty!? Montessori? When Zhao Yue heard this, she was taken aback, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked.

"Yes, the descendants of the Mengshi of the Qin Dynasty," Pan Yu saw that Zhao Yue's reaction was a little big, so he asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with you, Changjiao, is there something wrong?" ”

"No, Brother Xianpu, please continue." Zhao Yueqiang held back the excitement and shock in her heart, and pretended to be calm.

Pan Yu then continued: "When the Meng clan was in the Qin Dynasty, there was a famous general named Meng Tian, and his younger brother was Meng Yi, who claimed to be the descendant of the two of them. However, many princes had visited him and wanted to invite him to come out, but they did not find his whereabouts, and Dong Zhuo also sent people to visit, but they also returned in vain. ”

After Pan Yu finished speaking, he wanted to stop, but seeing that Zhao Yue was looking at him with an expectant look, as if he wanted to hear more news, he continued considerately: "Changjiao, in fact, in my opinion, whether there is such a person is a problem, and even if there is, it must be in vain, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

Zhao Yue nodded, saying that he wouldn't take it to heart, but in fact, how could he not take it to heart!?

Although the land of the Han Dynasty is currently plagued by war, the people of insight in the world do not regard the Han Dynasty as orthodoxy, and even the princes who have their own ghosts have to take Kuangfu Han as a slogan in order to be able to send troops in a proper way and recruit people of insight from all over the world.

If Zhao Yue wanted to start an incident and revive the glory of the Qin State, how to encircle a group of people loyal to Great Qin became a crucial issue.

Zhao Yue frowned as he thought, he put his left arm across his body, put his right arm on it, pinched his chin with his thumb and forefinger, and thought carefully.

He felt that if the person on Songshan really existed, and if he was really a descendant of the Mengshi clan, he should still be quite sure to persuade him to help him if he revealed the identity of the descendant of the Qin royal family.
