PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of the book friend idler's visit
After the Heavenly Wolf finished speaking, he stood up, picked up the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Mo Evil Sword that fell in the forest after the violent shirt just now, and left the grove without looking back.
Qu Caifeng sat in place, crystal tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and soon condensed into a little ice crystal, sprinkled in the snow under her, she muttered: "Qu Caifeng, you are so stupid." ”
The wolf ran back to the cottage naked, fortunately, the night was dark, everyone had rested, he turned to the shop where the clothes were made, touched a piece of clothing on his body, and got a pair of boots, so he dared to swagger out, after this night of tossing, although his internal strength has recovered, but still feel the biting cold, the exposed skin is also frozen red, and even some nostrils are blocked, like a precursor to a cold and flu, which is also something that Xi Wu has not experienced for a long time over the years.
Sky Wolf knows that the most important thing to do now is to find a quiet place to meditate and exercise, although today Qu Caifeng did not hesitate to warm himself up, and pulled himself back from the crisis of broken meridians, but the cold has entered the body, if he is not forced out in time, he is afraid that he will fall into the root of internal injuries, he left the coat shop, transferred to the cellar in the village, and entered and exited the Wushan faction rudder several times, he has long been familiar with the various organ arrangements and building distribution here, in order to welcome this batch of rudder members from all over the country who go up the mountain to help guard, Qu Caifeng had already ordered the opening of several sealed wine cellars, especially on this snowy night in winter, when the wealthy people who stayed in the snow drank to ward off the cold.
The wolf burrowed into a wine cellar, and the wind and snow were too strong. The two female soldiers guarding outside were already drowsy, warming themselves around the stove outside, and they only felt a flower in front of them. It seems that a dark shadow entered the wine cellar, and then Dingqing looked, there was nothing left, only the two wooden doors were blown by the wind "clang" and "clang", the two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to hold hands together, holding the steel fork. Stomping his feet back and forth in front of the brazier.
The wolf got into this wine cellar, and the space on the upper and lower floors was full of wine jars. It's all burnt knife spirits that are not mixed with water, and they don't taste very good, but they are strong enough to ignite the fire. It is the favorite of the Green Forest High Rollers. He found a dark angle and sat down, opened the mouth of a jar of wine, and a pungent aroma of wine came out at once, making him can't help but drink: "Good wine!"
Qu Caifeng's voice sounded faintly from the entrance of the wine cellar: "Cangxing, if you want to drink, why don't you call me?" ”
Heavenly Wolf knew that Qu Caifeng had been following him from the cloakshop, and he sighed: "Caifeng." Don't you think it's better for you and me to keep a little distance in this situation? ”
Qu Caifeng wrapped himself in a white cotton robe. Like her white hair like frost and snow, pure and flawless, her beautiful face gradually moved from the doorway, her expression had become very calm, her eyes were a little red, obviously she had cried, but now there was no more complaint, she took a black cloak made of cotton in her left hand, and threw it far away: "Your clothes are not enough to keep out the cold, wrap a cotton robe." ”
The wolf was not polite, wrapped his body in a cotton robe, and said in his mouth: "Thank you." ”
Qu Caifeng walked in front of the wolf, and also sat cross-legged on the ground, her right hand held a huge wine jar, the mud had been broken, and said calmly: "Cangxing, I want to drink tonight, can you accompany me?" ”
A hint of apology flashed on Sky Wolf's face: "Caifeng, I'm sorry, I'm really ......"
Qu Caifeng waved his hand and said lightly: "Needless to say, I know your intentions, I don't blame you, I only blame you for not meeting from time to time, childhood sweethearts, you are right, life can not leave regrets, now the enemy is current, I don't care about the life and death of the brothers in the village, but entangled in the personal affairs of my children, so that I will leave regrets for myself in the future, tonight I just want to get drunk happily, and when the sun rises tomorrow, I will be back to the Jade Rakshasa of the Green Forest Alliance, and I will no longer be dragged down by the private feelings of my children." ”
Sky Wolf nodded, Qu Caifeng is a heroine among women after all, the character of a woman and a man, she can afford it, she can put it down, it seems that she is a little too worried, if she blindly shirks, I am afraid that I will underestimate this girl, he picked up the wine jar in front of him, and said: "Caifeng, since this is the case, then I have nothing to say, today you and I will be drunk and rest." ”
Qu Caifeng smiled slightly, also lifted the wine jar in front of him, and touched the wolf heavily, both of them lifted the dozens of pounds of the altar with one hand, and poured it down to their mouths, and the strong smell of burning knives filled the entire cellar at once.
The two of them didn't speak, you poured wine like this one sip at a time, the wolf was still a little restrained at the beginning, but Qu Caifeng's amount of wine was really amazing, and even his face remained unchanged after the two jars of wine, so that the wolf who had always thought that he had a good amount of wine was also secretly surprised, and he had no scruples, and he didn't think about anything, you drank happily from one jar to another.
After drinking three or four jars of wine, Qu Caifeng suddenly sighed faintly: "Cangxing, did you say that the emperor is really not ready to give us any way to live?" Even if we can escape this catastrophe, is it impossible for us to revive the momentum of the Wushan faction? ”
The wolf put down the wine jar in his hand and nodded: "Now it seems that this is almost the case, the emperor does not allow a large-scale resistance force to exist, if it can't be subdued, then it must be eliminated, and even like I pacified the Wakou Wang Zhi in the southeast this time, just because he was called a Hui King, the emperor is not ready to let him go, and he still wants to kill him after recruiting An." ”
Qu Caifeng let out a soft "oh", and a trace of disdain flashed on his face: "I think this dog emperor is the most important thing in the world to get rid of, he appointed a traitorous party, made the people miserable, and did not give people a chance to reform themselves, if I knew this, I should have taken out Taizu's bag and let it go." ”
Heavenly Wolf sighed: "Caifeng, although this is relieving, it has no practical effect, in fact, I have been thinking about this problem, even if the poor rebellion succeeds, will it definitely be able to establish a friendly and kind Heavenly Dynasty?" ”
"Just like our Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Hongwu was also born poor, so poor that he couldn't be poorer anymore. His parents and brothers were starved to death, and he became a monk in desperation, but once he became the emperor. It's not the same as the previous emperor, who only cares about the officials and the Zhu Ming clan, how can they ever care about the life and death of the people? ”
Qu Caifeng hooked the corners of his mouth: "I am different from Emperor Hongwu, if I get the world, I will definitely support these lonely and helpless old and weak women and children." ”
Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "Caifeng, you think too simply, if it weren't for robbing the house. If it weren't for the money paid by the passing caravans, how could you support these hundreds of thousands of subordinates? ”
Qu Caifeng was slightly stunned, and then said, "Cangxing." As you can see, our stockade in this valley is also self-sufficient in farming and spinning. ”
The wolf sighed, "I've seen those fields, including the cloth sold. Only a few thousand people can be fed. Even the 20,000 people of your Wushan village can't feed them all, you are the owner of the village, you know the expenses, you and the thousands of subordinates in the village don't produce, just rely on the old and weak women and children to farm and spin cloth, how can you be self-sufficient? ”
"Caifeng, as a sect of rivers and lakes. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people can still loot for a living. But if you govern the country, sit in the world, and have hundreds of millions of living beings to feed, how can you maintain it in this way? ”
Qu Caifeng's eyebrows frowned: "Cangxing, what do you mean by this, is it still reasonable to say that the Dog Emperor relied on corrupt officials to exploit the people, and it should be?" ”
The wolf shook his head: "The oppression and exploitation of the people is indeed unacceptable, but there is a minimum truth, not everyone in the world has to rely on farming for a living, even if everyone is willing to farm, it is impossible to have so much land, and there will inevitably be some or most people who leave the land and engage in other work, just like the mulberry farmers and textile workers I saw in the southeast, what they are engaged in has nothing to do with having a full stomach, but it is still an indispensable piece of clothing." ”
"So since there is a country and a division of labor, it involves management, just like you govern the Wushan faction, it is impossible for everyone to be a warrior, or all to farm, there must be a division of labor, and to arrange, manage such a division of labor, it takes a huge bureaucratic system to maintain, so even if Emperor Taizu hates officials deeply, and even kills corrupt officials in several major cases in the Hongwu Dynasty, but in the end, he still has to rely on officials to govern the country, because without them, there will be no one in the world, and there will be chaos."
Qu Caifeng nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, but now the emperor is mediocre, the officials are corrupt, and they oppress the people, otherwise how could there be so many people in our Wushan faction to join?" Do we have to endure the oppression of the government for generations? ”
The wolf sighed, took a sip of wine, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes: "The so-called rise and fall of the dynasty, the replacement of the king, refers to this, when the government is dark, and the monarch is faint and mediocre, there will be heroic people, rising from the grassroots, this is the people's uprising, usually like you and the widows, only occupy the mountain as the king, not for the purpose of seizing the throne, the emperor and the government will still tolerate and connive, but once the anti-flag to seize the throne is played, and the emperor wants to seize the world, then the emperor will not hesitate to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress, such as Wang Zhi, He actually had no objections, but he proclaimed himself the title of King Hui, which was a taboo, so the emperor had to recruit him first and then get rid of him. ”
Qu Caifeng gritted his teeth: "Instead of this, it's better to give it a go and overthrow the Dog Emperor." ”
Sky Wolf smiled slightly: "I just said that if you overthrow an emperor, establish a new dynasty, and then repeat the previous one, what difference will it make?" ”
Qu Caifeng blinked: "It's different, at least Emperor Hongwu will be much better than the current faint monarch, Cangxing, I am a daughter, I don't understand these military affairs, but if you can ascend to the top and take away the Dog Emperor's country, then I think the world will not be as dark as it is now." ”
Sky Wolf was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly: "Caifeng, you are drunk, how can I go to take over the world?" I can only do martial arts, but I don't know anything about military affairs. ”
Qu Caifeng waved his hand, and a trace of joy flashed in the phoenix's eyes: "Cangxing, I'm not talking about playing, you are extremely resourceful, not only is your martial arts talent extremely high, but also the way of power management is almost self-taught, I used to want you to take over the Wushan faction, not because your martial arts are stronger than me, of course, this is also a reason, but more important is your excellent mind, to be honest, you are the smartest person I have ever met, Xu Linzong looks smarter than you, but I know best, your impromptu adaptability and reaction ability, Including the ability to calculate, he is above him, and Ziguang is really eyeless. I don't value you all the time, I don't know why. ”
Heavenly Wolf Zhengse said: "Caifeng, let's keep some virtue when you speak." Uncle Ziguang chose to do his best to cultivate Senior Brother Xu, he has his own reasons, he has to consider the relationship between Wudang and the courtiers, especially with Xu Jie, who is also the father of Senior Brother Xu, so I think his arrangement is no problem. ”
Qu Caifeng snorted disdainfully: "Anyway, you famous and decent people are looking ahead and looking backwards, and they are timid. It's not happy at all, how can we green forest people live a chic life and live in the world. In just a few decades, you have to go to the court officials, that's a fart!" After Qu Caifeng straightened his chest happily, he suddenly felt a burst of happiness. Picking up the wine jar, there was another burst of pouring. The sky wolf wanted to open his mouth to refute, but when he saw that Qu Caifeng was quite interested, he secretly thought that it was not interesting to fight with the woman for this kind of thing, so he smiled and said nothing.
Qu Caifeng put down the wine jar, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Cangxing, in fact, you know the art of war, and you also know human nature. If you can really take advantage of the situation in this dark world, you will definitely do something. If you want to do it. I, Qu Caifeng, and the entire Wushan faction, will definitely fully support you. ”
Sky Wolf smiled and waved his hand: "Caifeng, don't make this joke, let's stop here, I don't have any power, I don't even want to fight for a martial arts, let alone fight for the world." And the rebellion, involving the whole world, that is not tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of life and death, when the ancestor Zhu Di raised the army to appease, after several years, the Central Plains blood flowed into a river, the dead tens of millions, is not far from the King of Ning rebellion, although only a month to be pacified, but still caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of people displaced, your master has experienced this, should have experienced. ”
Qu Caifeng's eyes turned gloomy, and she sighed: "This is also my master's lifelong regret, when he did not assist King Ning to succeed and overthrow the Emperor Wuzong who could only mess around, so she told me before she died that she did not regret helping King Ning to raise troops back then, but she hated that the luck was bad and the success was successful, if I had the opportunity, if the monarch was mediocre and the world was dark, I still had to use the Taizu Tips to gather the righteous people in the world and help the true dragon to clarify the world." ”
Sky Wolf laughed: "You see me as the true dragon emperor?" Caifeng, you're really drunk, it's so funny!"
Qu Caifeng blinked his eyes and smiled slightly: "Heavenly wolf, I have also heard of the origin of this dragon slaying knife, it is said that only with dragon blood, and it is a true dragon selected by God, can control this ancient divine knife, in fact, when I first saw you get this knife, I felt that you Li Cangxing is absolutely different, if it is not for your life, how can you hold this knife?" ”
Heavenly Wolf thought of the mysterious sword spirit, his face changed slightly, and he looked at the dragon slaying knife quietly inserted in the scabbard, thoughtful.
Qu Caifeng suddenly laughed, gently covered his cherry mouth, pointed at the wolf, and smiled backwards: "Okay, okay, see that you really regard yourself as the true dragon emperor, I just said this, you really believe it, hehe, Cangxing, it seems that you still have to practice the ability to listen to people, when is the truth, when is it lying to you." ”
The wolf was a little moved, and when he saw that Qu Caifeng was deliberately entertaining himself, he was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Caifeng, I didn't expect you to be happy with me like this, hahahaha." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed, like lifelong friends who had known each other for many years, and as soon as they relaxed their chests, the wolf also felt the apology and embarrassment when facing Qu Caifeng at the beginning, and disappeared with this burst of laughter.
After laughing, Qu Caifeng sat back and said to the wolf: "But seriously, if this crisis is over, Taizu is still a good thing, and now Daming is already stormy, if there is really a hero master, holding the edict of Emperor Jianwen's descendants, and this Taizu bag, raising troops to eliminate violence, vicissitudes, are you willing to help?" ”
The wolf hadn't thought about this question before, and when he asked suddenly, he couldn't answer it for a while, he pondered carefully, and still shook his head: "Caifeng, although there is no way today, but it is not like the last days of the previous dynasties, abusing the people's power, rejuvenating the palace, and conquering the Quartet, although the life of the people is difficult now, but it is not so that there is no way out, plus the country still has some loyal ministers and good generals, just like the last rebellion of King Ning, although Emperor Wuzong is messing around, but a capable person like Wang Yangming still stands on the side of the court, People in the world are at ease, I think this is the reason for King Ning's failure, not simply the lack of Emperor Jianwen's edict. ”
A trace of disappointment appeared in Qu Caifeng's eyes: "Even if there is a possibility of overthrowing the emperor and Taizu's will, are you unwilling to join?" ”
The Heavenly Wolf sighed: "Why is there only one emperor in the world?" It is because of this righteous name, the so-called ordered by the sky, both longevity and prosperity, if everyone has bad intentions and wants to rely on the strength in their hands to raise troops to seize the throne, then the war is everywhere, and the disasters brought to the people of the world are far greater than a mediocre and greedy, but still a rule-abiding emperor. ”
"Caifeng, I know what you think, but not everyone may raise troops, they all have such kind and simple thoughts as you, and the world is in chaos, thieves are swarming, and the people everywhere have no way to live, either they are thieves and bandits, or they can only die in troubled times, even you, the old and weak women and children of the Wushan faction, can only fight on the battlefield, Caifeng, are you sure you want these?
