After listening to Wang Buqi's explanation, Li Congjing did not immediately hold him responsible, but said: "Wang Sizuo, what is the relationship between you and the bandit leader of the Immortal Mountain, wait for the envoy to solve the problem of the surrender of the Immortal Mountain, and then deal with it." ”

Then he looked at Tao Yaoyao and said, "Right now, the envoy wants to ask the big boss, how will the Immortal Mountain choose?" Now that you and I have laid out the situation, the matter can be discussed. There is no doubt that all employees accept Zhao'an, and it is impossible to change. But what are the conditions of the great boss, just say, the envoy can give you an answer now. ”

Wang Buqi turned out to be Tao Yao's father, which Li Congjing never expected before.

It seems unbelievable that his father is an official and his daughter is a bandit, but in this chaotic world where there is no orthodoxy, everyone is trying to survive, which is not incomprehensible. As for Tao Yaoyao and Wang Buqi, the relationship doesn't seem to be harmonious, and what happened to their father and daughter before, Li Congjing doesn't care much.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and everyone is eating a bowl of unpalatable rice. That's it.

As for the difference in the surnames of the two, Li Congjing is even more lazy to pay attention to it.

The peach maid handed her a glass of water, she sucked it slowly with a bamboo tube, Li Congjing's words were put in any bandit leader, it was worth thinking about seriously, and she was no exception.

Tao Xiaoyao needs to be considered, Li Congjing didn't bother, just said slowly: "The terrain of Shenxian Mountain is dangerous, there are no less than three hundred disciples, and it is said that it is quite brave. In such a troubled era, the big boss is a woman, and to command three hundred unruly people, not only force is needed, but also wrist, and it is difficult to say which is more important. But the only thing the great rulers don't need is kindness. ”

After Li Congjing's words were finished, Tao Xiaoxiao raised her head, her eyebrows and eyes were still lazy, and her closed lips were small and delicate.

"Not only does it not need mercy, but it even needs a lot of cruelty." Li Congjing ignored Tao Yaoyao's eyes, and said to himself, "But it's such a big boss, after someone deliberately lurked in your cottage, and plotted to capture you, and was cracked by you, you didn't even kill these people, how can it be a little contradictory." Could it be that the thief is afraid of the official army and the orthodoxy of the court? ”

"Afraid, afraid?" Tao Yao sneered, "Gathering people in troubled times, each line of expedition, what is the difference between the official army and the bandits?" The territory, the people, the military training, what you have in the army, we also have it. The only difference is that the strength is different. ”

Li Congjing didn't refute, but nodded and said: "What the big boss said is true, the bandits and the official army in troubled times can indeed be converted into each other, who said that after the bandits capture the city, they can't become a prince?" ”

Tao Yaoyao snorted coldly, buried her head and continued to drink without speaking.

"Besides, the people around the mountain live and work in peace and contentment, which is enough to show that the big boss is not doing badly." Li Congjing said again, "Since the big boss doesn't kill Mo Li and the others, it's not that he is afraid of the officials and the army. Then there is only one explanation left: the big boss is leaving a way out for himself. ”

Tao Xiaoyao finally began to look directly at Li Congjing.

Li Congjing smiled slightly, "If you are poor, you will think about change." This poverty not only refers to wealth, but also refers to power. If the situation remains unchanged, it is not far from defeat. Although the Immortal Mountain is not weak, it is trapped here, and it is more than enough to defend and not enterprising. In this way, if it cannot grow, it will inevitably be annexed, and the difference is only whether it will be annexed by other mountain bandits or by the official army. The wise people of the big boss have naturally seen through this, so they have already planned for a long time. Therefore, Li Mou's return to Zhao'an should be in response to the expectations of the big boss. ”

Wang Buqi opened his mouth wide. He looked at Li Congjing, and then at Tao Yaoyao, and became overjoyed, "Girl, it turns out that you already have this intention, why didn't you tell me earlier?" That's it, it's okay, this is the opportunity, since you have this plan, the father doesn't have to worry about you......"

"Who said I was going to accept Zhao'an?" Tao Yaoyao glared at Wang Buqi, and then faced Li Congjing, "General Li seems to have forgotten a little. ”

"Oh? The big boss may wish to remind one or two. Li Congjing said.

Tao Yao took a sip of water, "Everyone has greed, but those who are rich and powerful are especially greedy." It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, especially for those who are powerful. Once the power is gained, how can it be willing to lose? If I accept Zhao'an, there will be no more such a man's lordship. What the heart thinks, the order is forbidden, how pleasant. And if the surrendered officers and soldiers are bound in the future, how can I be happy? ”

Li Congjing laughed and said, "What the big boss said is that everyone has greed. But greed can be restrained, and the key lies in whether people are more important than those who are rich and powerful. As far as the big boss is concerned, it is obvious that there is the future of the lives of the three hundred disciples of your Immortal Mountain, and the net worth of the people on this side is stable. ”

"How so?"

"It can be seen from the big boss taking the risk of going head-to-head with me. For this side of the fairy mountain, the big boss will not even spare his life, and will he take care of a little greed? ”

Tao Yao was slightly stunned, silent for a while, and sighed leisurely: "I have long known that Li Congjing is a ruthless person, and I didn't expect that his brain is quite flexible. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Li Congjing said, "Now that the matter is clear, the big boss can put forward conditions." ”

Tao Xiaoyao laughed twice, "Think about it." ”

Li Congjing did not urge.

But Wang Buqi couldn't hold his breath, and stomped his feet and said, "Girl, what else do you want!" Although the general is decisive in killing, but people are not thirsty for killing, and he is also easy-going with his subordinates on weekdays, not to mention that the general is the son of General Li Da, the deputy governor of the Fan Han Dynasty inside and outside the Great Jin Dynasty, and he has to be favored by the King of Jin, and the future is immeasurable. It's hard to find a better home in the world! ”

Tao Yaoyao glared at Wang Buqi fiercely. Wang Buqi's mouth closed instantly, and no second word came out.

Li Congjing smiled, on weekdays, Wang Buqi was in front of him, he was an old god, relying on the old and selling the old, and he acted in a proper manner, and his knowledge was not bad, but now in the face of his daughter, he was in a big mess, completely ignoring the negotiation, and was most afraid of being impetuous and exposing the bottom line, but to show the enemy to be strong, and to argue with each other about regression, in order to get a satisfactory result. Sure enough, it's a matter of concern.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaowu came over and whispered a few words to Li Congjing.

"Mo is not far from these guys, and he has finally made some contribution to me." Li Congjing raised his head, glanced at the Immortal Mountain, and said with a smile in his heart.

"Big boss, the stockade is on fire!" Zhao Xiangyao hurriedly ran over, panicked.

Tao Yaoyao turned around and looked, and sure enough, he saw billowing smoke rising in the mountains of Shenxian Mountain, and in a moment, in the building visible to the naked eye, the fire rose to the sky.

The flames of the old high rose and reflected the sunset in the sky.

Tao Yao looked at the cottage in a daze, lost her mind for a while, and muttered: "The cottage is gone, the retreat is gone, this is a lot easier, you don't have to think about any conditions." ”

In that dancing flame, she seemed to see herself many years ago.

At that time, she was so young that she led a small group of people into the mountain. They cut down the first towering tree, made the first flat land, and built the first house. At that time, her mood was so happy, and her heart was full of hope. At that time, her dreams were fluttering in the wind.

Hedong has been at war for decades. From childhood to adulthood, she has seen too many human tragedies, at first she didn't know why the world was like this, she didn't even understand why the court didn't care about the life or death of the people, only later did she know that there was no court in the world, and there were seven or eight "countries...... She can't bear to see people suffer and die with hatred, because she is a kind child.

She wants to build a peaceful world for this chaotic world.

providing shelter for homeless refugees; For the scavengers who are about to breathe, hand over a bowl of hot porridge; Wiping away tears from the eyes of orphans who have lost their parents, making a warm bed for the elderly who can't walk, delivering cows and sheep with difficult births, and putting shriveled seeds into the soil......

She is a woman, but she is a woman who has her own side of the world in her heart.

She has a superior family background, is one of the three major clans of Qimen, she likes to dance with guns and sticks, and is familiar with poetry and books, she admires the ancient chivalrous and chivalrous righteousness, and always wants to one day be able to support the right path. She knows that the great man is for the country and the people. Therefore, after she became an adult, she and her companions resolutely left the stable and comfortable home and walked into the wind and rain of displacement.

Women can't test for fame and fame, they can't enter the yamen, and besides, in troubled times, how useful can they be as a scholar? So the young she and them, with this kind of idea that many people will laugh at them, went into the mountain.

She sweated and bled with them, clearing wasteland, building villages, building villages, and working hard in this panicked world, struggling to move forward, just for the clean and simple almost stupid dream in her heart.

Many years passed, and the companions fell one by one. Or fall in pools of blood, or fall down bottomless cliffs, some of them laugh and leave in victory, and some roar in defeat. But they all told her, "Go on!" ”

The first group of people who entered the mountain back then are now gone, and there is also an eye patch on her flawless face.

Finally, the prestige of the Immortal Mountain spread all over the mountains and forests, and the banner of the Cold Fairy made those who saw it fearful.

And she is getting more and more tired.

Many times she couldn't see clearly ahead, or even where to take the people behind her. She obviously wants to save people, but she wants to kill, she only wants one party to be stable, but she wants to intrigue, she obviously wants to live cleanly, but her hands are stained with blood and she bears a sin...... She often asks herself: Is this the real way of the world?

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.

More and more, she wanders around the village, busy in the fields, she plays with the children, she cooks with the villagers...... In this land where countless blood structures have been cast, she can feel a heartfelt peace.

Her eyebrows and eyes became more and more lazy, and her steps became more and more casual.

She also knew that she was becoming less and less fit to be a leader.

She is an independent woman, a proud woman, a stubborn woman, and a chivalrous woman. However, she was always a woman, and she was also a lonely woman.

Li Congjing is right, she did think about accepting Zhao'an, and she thought about it more than once.

"Finally...... Is it all coming to an end? In Peach's eyes, the flames were singing and dancing uncontrollably, like the laughter of former and present companions.

The flat forest desert is like smoke, and the cold mountains are sad and blue. Twilight into the high-rise building, some people upstairs worried. The jade steps stand in the air, and the birds return to fly quickly. Where is the return journey, the long pavilion is shorter.

Li stood up silently.

He didn't know the story of Tao Yaoyao, nor did he know what Tao Yaoyao was thinking, but at this moment, he could clearly perceive the loneliness and sadness conveyed by Tao Yaoyao's delicate back. In this picture of mountains and mountains, the peach seems to be independent, like a rootless leaf, swaying with the wind.

No one can taste the emotion that Tao Yao exudes more deeply than Li Congjing. Because he came from another world, he has a deep imprint of the memory of his previous life in his bones, so in this era, he feels lonely.

Li Congjing walked gently to Tao Yaoyao's side, standing side by side with her, his eyes wandering on the fairy mountain at dusk, and he was speechless for a while.

Where is the sunset township, the most sorrowful thing is the past.

"The three hundred and nine people up and down the Immortal Mountain accepted General Li's recruitment today and agreed to merge into the Hundred Battles Army." Tao Yaoyao looked at the top of the mountain and said this, turned around, looked directly at Li Congjing, and no longer saw half a point of laziness on his face, and said word for word: "The only condition: I hope that General Li will treat them well, and also treat the people of this side well, and treat the peace of this land." ”

Li Congjing's face was solemn, he didn't make bold words, he didn't curse and swear, he just looked at Tao Xiaoyao very seriously, and said, "Don't worry." ”

Feel relieved. Two simple words.

Tao Xiaoxiao smiled.

He smiled when he saw her smile.

Wang Buqi stood aside with his hands down, looking at his daughter's back, a pair of old eyes, gradually blurred.

Her daughter's shoulders are not wide, and they are even very slender.

Wang Buqi has read the books of sages for more than 40 years, and if someone talks to him about "righteous self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world", I am afraid that few people can talk about it more than him. The book of saints has three thousand words, and every word is written in his mind. He knows what it means to be "a gentleman with virtue", what it means to be "a gentleman with virtue", and what it means to be "a gentleman has lifelong worries and no troubles", and he knows a lot. Not only did he know it, but he also told many people about it.

But what it means to serve the country and the people, he found that he only truly understood it today.

He just knew, but his daughter, had already done it. When he shook his head and shook his head, when he commented on the world with his scholarly feelings, and when he was sad that the world was not ancient, his daughter, with her delicate body, did for him what a scholar should really do.

Wang Buqi, who had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, silently clenched his shriveled fist in this corner that many scholars disdained to go. What is the mandate of heaven, Wang Buqi does not know. But he already knows at this moment what his mission is.

Fifty years old, is it old? No, Lao Ji is ambitious!

Tao Yaoyao packed up her emotions, lowered her head and pecked a sip of water, and asked Li Congjing: "The disciples of the Immortal Mountain have been incorporated into the Hundred Battles Army, how do you plan to place them?" ”

"Naturally, how to fit and how to place." Li Congjing said, looking at Tao Yao's good-looking side face and chuckling, "I also want to thank the big boss for training three hundred elite soldiers for the Hundred Battles Army." ”

Tao Xiaoyao waved his hand, and was about to say no thanks.

Then she was stunned.

A fist slammed into the helmet of Li Congjing's head, making a heavy thump of metal being struck.

"Second master, thank you ancestors! Your people dare to burn down the boss's stockade! The second master is fighting with you! ”

A figure like a tiger and a leopard pounced on Li Congjing, punching one punch after another.

"Straight lady thief, the second master said that he would want you to look good! The second master will kill you! ”
