"What are you thinking? Your father has something to attend to, so don't be surprised. Okay, do you have anything to buy, my mother will buy it for you. Zhao Xi's mother saw Zhao Yi in a daze, thinking that he was thinking about what Zhao He had just done, and was afraid that he would think about the difference, so she hurriedly said.

"Oh, there's nothing to buy."

Seeing that Zhao Yi was not unusual, Mrs. Zhao calmed down.

Just as Zhao Yi was thinking, in a luxurious manor in Youzhou City, a group of big men in black suits and red cloaks were standing tremblingly on both sides of the hall, hanging their heads.

"A bunch of rubbish, you can't even do this little thing!" The middle-aged man on the right side of the main seat rebuked loudly.

"Lord Xue is angry, you can't blame our people this time, after all, the other party is not an ordinary person, and he ...... back then." On the left side of the main seat, there sat an old man who looked like a businessman, with a kind face and a slight fatness, and said with a smile.

After the old man persuaded the middle-aged man, he turned his head and said to the people who stopped and stood: "I won't blame you for this incident, since it has been determined that the target is in Youzhou, go down to check on me immediately, if it still can't be done, there will be a few more guests in the court and prison, and they will be punished together when the time comes." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, the faces of everyone in the hall changed, and the leader on the left hurriedly bowed and replied: "Don't worry, my lord, there will be no accidents this time, it's just that there are many counties in Youzhou, and the subordinates will be hindered by the government when they inquire and do it." ”

"It's okay, we brought a warrant from the left minister, and we will let the Youzhou government assist in acting in the name of investigating spies." The old man waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys check it out one by one, and you'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go!" Let's get moving. ”

"Yes!"

After more than a dozen people in the hall left, Master Xue slammed the table and said fiercely: "Damn, the clue that just arrived has been broken again, these remnants are really ground rats." By the way, Brother He, will it attract the attention of King Qi this time? ”

The smile on the old man's face gradually faded: "It will definitely attract the attention of King Qi, but we are already one hand ahead, we must deal with all the insiders and leave no trouble, and if necessary, even the people left here by King Qi will be dealt with together." The matter has reached a critical point, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"By the way, I heard that Prince Yingwu left a lot of gold, silver and jewelry back then, which were hidden by their subordinates in batches, and I don't know if I can find them."

"I said Brother Xue, at this time, you should not think about money, in case something goes wrong, you know what the result will be!"

Lord Xue seemed to remember something, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Brother He, don't worry, I will definitely not delay Zuo Xiang's big event." ”

Zhao Yi wandered back and forth around the streets with his mother, except for a delay when he got out of the car when he was buying jade at a jade shop, and the rest stayed in the carriage.

What is Mother doing today, coming out to buy things? It shouldn't be, aren't there people who buy things in the house? What the hell is my father doing? Forget it, don't think about it, adults do things, I'd better take a look at this ancient city! Zhao Yi was very puzzled when he played with the jade talisman in his hand.

"Father!"

When the carriage returned to that bend again, the curtain was opened, and Zhao He slipped in like a cunning loach.

Zhao He smiled at his son and didn't explain anything, and secretly made eye contact with his wife, and put on the robe thrown on the car.

Back in the house, Zhao Xi sat quietly for a while, thought about the situation in the afternoon for a while, and finally gave up.

In the next few days, he continued to study and temper his body, and the rest of the time was to teach Ruyu to study, read, and write, and Zhao Xi also adapted to having a girl beside him.

"Young master, the master asked you to go to his study." The housekeeper beside Zhao He interrupted Zhao Yi, who was teaching Ruyu to write.

"Okay, Ruyu, you practice slowly first, and I'll go to my father's place to have a look."

Zhao He's study

"Father!" When Zhao Yi came to the study, he saw his father looking at the ground and thinking about something, so he said out loud.

"Oh, you're coming with me." Zhao He didn't have any extra words, and took Zhao Yi out of the study and walked towards the last courtyard.

Zhao He's study and bedroom are all in the fifth courtyard, the sixth courtyard Zhao Yi has never been to, and he usually doesn't see anyone go in, and today he couldn't help but feel strange when he saw his father walking with him.

Entering the circular arch, Zhao Yi was disappointed, the yard was not big, there was no special place around, it seemed to be more like a warehouse and a back garden.

On the right is a row of low houses, which appear to be piled up with miscellaneous items, and the other three sides are planted with rows of tall trees under the walls, and in front of the houses are the three horse-drawn wagons loaded with goods that have just been pulled in.

Well? What do you do when you pull the car here, aren't the goods all in the middle yard?

Seeing his son's puzzled look, Zhao He didn't speak, and went directly to the wall on the left, picked up a long ladder from under the trees, and erected it on the courtyard wall.

"Go, follow me!" As he spoke, he climbed the ladder and climbed over the courtyard wall.

Zhao Yi didn't speak, and followed over the courtyard wall.

After turning over the courtyard wall, Zhao Xi found that this side was also a big mansion, a big mansion with a triple courtyard, there were only two old mothers cooking and laundry in the yard, and there were only a few teenagers outside, and Zhao Xi estimated that it was on par with himself.

"Sir!" Several old mothers and teenagers hurriedly saluted when they saw Zhao He.

"This is your young master!" Zhao He pointed at Zhao Yi and said to a few people.

"I've seen the young master!"

After Zhao He waved his hand to let the two old mothers retreat, he said to Zhao Di, who didn't know what was going on: "Xian'er, don't you often say that you stay alone in the yard and are bored, I will find you a few little guys who are as big as you, and they will accompany you to practice martial arts in the future." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yi to speak, Zhao He said sharply to several teenagers: "From today on, the nine of you are members of our Zhao family, and you will follow Xi'er's side in the future, I will ask you to read and practice martial arts, and you must remember your hard-won life now, and I don't know how many teenagers of your size are freezing and starving." ”

Although Chu and Yan abolished the slavery system, there are still many families who can't survive to sell their sons and daughters, and the ones who buy them are naturally slaves, and the court doesn't care about it, especially during the famine years, this move can solve some problems within a certain range, and the court is left to its own devices. The life and death of the slave bought is already the master's, and even if he is executed, no one will manage it. Of course, the hired subordinates are not, just like the men of the merchants, etc., who are executed and have to pay for the lawsuit.

Although I don't know much about what my father is doing, Zhao Yi is naturally happy to have a few people who are the same size as him and can communicate normally.

Since then, Zhao Xi's life has become a three-point line, the study, the courtyard next door and his bedroom. After talking, Zhao Yi knew how these teenagers came in.

It turned out that on the day Zhao Yi left the mansion, Zhao He found these teenagers who were almost starving to death in the city, brought them back to the mansion in the secret compartment they hid under the carriage, and moved to the courtyard next door.

I went out that day to bring a few teenagers who practiced martial arts with me? If that's it, just get it in, and it won't go around in such a big circle! There must be more than that, this father has a secret!

More than half a year has passed, Zhao Yi and the nine teenagers are a lot stronger, and each of them looks like they are thirteen or fourteen years old. I suddenly remembered that I didn't even know what the names of these people were.

Zhao Xi told a lot of stories to several young masters after training, and asked these eleven or twelve-year-old little guys to follow him every day, and when he was training, he begged Zhao Xi to tell them stories.

"Young master, yesterday's story hasn't been told yet, so what happened to Yue Fei in the end, did he kill the Yellow River and recover the north?"

"yes, yes, tell me about it." As soon as a few teenagers finished their homework today, they hurriedly urged despite the soreness and numbness of their bodies.

When Zhao Yi saw this, he didn't say much, and led the young people to the steps, sat there and started talking.

After listening to the ending of Zhao Xi's story, several people sighed.

"Why didn't Yue Fei fight by himself, he has so many soldiers and horses in his hands!" Someone asked.

"That's it!"

Yue Fei didn't fight by himself, partly because of loyalty, but there were many reasons, Zhao Fei naturally wouldn't explain them one by one, and immediately said: "Loyalty, Yue Fei wants to be loyal to the emperor who promoted him that day, so he would rather die than betray." Okay, this is just a story, don't take it seriously, let's still learn to read and practice martial arts, and in the future, we can also cross the sword and one side. ”

"Hey, by the way, what's your name?" Zhao Yi asked seemingly unintentionally.

Listening to the names of these people, Zhao Yi has a black line, all of which are the names of some animals! Not even a surname.

Seeing the young master shaking his head again and again, a clever little guy said: "Our name is that, the young master is a scholar, let's give a few of us a name!" ”

"yes, yes! Master, let's give it a name. ”

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Okay, but you tell me your surname first." ”

Several teenagers looked at each other, and a slightly stable teenager said: "We have died since we were children, how do we know what our surname is, but since we have entered the Zhao Mansion, let's take the young master's surname, and serve the young master in the future, even if we die, it is not ambiguous." ”

"We are willing to serve the young master and never frown." The remaining few people knelt in front of Zhao Yi and said sternly.

"Okay, since that's the case, let your surname be Zhao, you have a steady temperament, and you are the head of everyone, so you are called Zhao Xiong, and you are Zhao Hong, Zhao Jie, Zhao Yu, Zhao Fei, Zhao Hai, Zhao Mang, Zhao Xian, Zhao Lin, Zhao Kang, Zhao Ning, what do you think?"

"Young Master Xie, we also have our own names."

Zhao He, who was standing in the distance and quietly watching Zhao Xi, nodded secretly.

Today's scene was also secretly signaled by Zhao He, although Zhao Yi didn't understand why he did this, but he was also happy to get a few people who had believed in the future, he already knew the names of these people, so he said so. In the past few months, Zhao He and Zhao Yi have also instilled a lot of thoughts of loyalty, young people, ideas are easy to shape, and after talking about something, their blood is naturally boiling.

"It seems that I also have the potential to do pyramid schemes, and a few bloody stories have instigated the nine little guys, oh, and add Ruyu." Zhao Xi muttered, as if he had forgotten that he was only eleven years old, but he himself ignored his age, and after a few years, Zhao Xi was not as lifeless and silent as in his previous life.
