Li Xi already had complete trust in Feng Yao at this time, and of course he would no longer have any scruples and concealments, so he told everything he knew. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As early as last spring, the war in the Qingxu area gradually decreased, the Yellow Turban cultists who originally believed in Taiping Taoism either surrendered or died on the battlefield, and the common people in the Qingxu area also slowly resumed production, and Taoism was also considered a cult by the imperial court because of the Yellow Turban Army, but all those who believe in Taoism, whether it is Taiping Dao or not, and whether it is the Yellow Turban Yu Party, will be arrested by the officers and soldiers as thieves to kill the head and receive a reward, at this time, Danyang people Zhenrong was appointed as the minister of Xiapi by Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, and was in charge of Xiapi, Pengcheng, The collection and transportation of money and grain in dozens of counties in the three counties of Guangling.

However, after gaining power, Zhenrong did not listen to Tao Qian's words, and took all the money and grain of the three counties as his own, and in order to better control the people under his rule, he began to vigorously promote Buddhism, and all the people who joined Buddhism or believed in Buddhism could be exempted from forced labor, and those who did not believe in Buddhism cursed them to hell and increased their forced taxes. For a time, the common people rushed to join Buddhism, and even outsiders moved to Xiapi to practice Buddhism, just to be exempt from forced labor and taxes.

Li Xi's father thought that Zhenrong's approach was completely for his own selfish interests and fooled the people, so he refused to believe in Buddhism, but who would have thought that this autumn, when the wheat was just ripe, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, saw grain and grabbed grain, saw men kill men, saw women rob women, and everywhere he went, chickens and dogs were not left.

Zhen Rong was afraid of Cao Cao's momentum, so he brought the money and food accumulated over the years, and also brought tens of thousands of Buddhist men and women to Guangling to avoid disaster, while those who did not believe in Buddhism were abandoned.

In order to avoid disaster, most of these abandoned people chose to go west, hoping to reach Jingzhou and live and work in peace and contentment under the protection of Liu Biao, a clan relative of the Han family, or go west again to enter Yizhou, which is far away from the war in the Central Plains, to avoid trouble, and go to Yizhou Liu Yan, who is also a clan relative of the Han family, to settle down.

Runan County is the only way to go west.

For Li Xi's words, Dai Ling, who also fled all the way, also felt the same way, recognized Li Xi's words very much, and scolded Zhen Rong for being ungrateful.

Under Feng Yao's careful questioning, he learned that Dai Ling and Di Rong were fellow villagers, and had saved Di Rong's life, but he didn't expect to come to Xuzhou to defect to Di Rong, Di Rong not only did not miss the old feelings, but was worried that Dai Ling would be coerced by grace, so he sent someone to assassinate Dai Ling.

"I didn't expect that Zhenrong to be such a villain!" Chen, who has always rarely spoken, couldn't help but scold at this time.

"Li Xi, I can't imagine that your background is so pitiful! I wonder what you plan to do in the future? Feng Yao sighed, took out two taels of silver, handed them to Li Xi's hand, and said: "Li Xi, if no one wants to ask for that copper coin, it is worthless, I don't think these two taels of silver will depreciate, you have the right to accept it, and go west this way, so you can buy some food to eat." ”

Li Xi was willing to accept the silver tael, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Engong! If Engong does not dislike it, Li Xi is willing to recognize Engong as the master and go to the soup and fire, at any cost, as long as Engong can enjoy a certain bite of food every day! ”

Feng Yao was secretly happy in his heart, this was exactly the result he wanted, in fact, he didn't want Li Xi to go at all, just tested Li Xi and saw his reaction, Li Xi really didn't disappoint him, although Li Xi had just turned thirteen now, but Feng Yao had already seen that Li Xi was a rare talent, he could ambush a group of boys at a young age, and he could survive in the troubled times, he really had some ability! If there is chaos today, and you don't have any foundation, you want to recruit those famous generals in the world or persuade those powerful places to support themselves, it's just a fool's dream, and an orphan like Li Xi, if you cultivate it well, will definitely be your loyal subordinate in the future, once the time comes, hehe! ……。

Li Xi can already accept it, but what about the remaining twelve teenagers, Feng Yao looked at Li Xi, and then at the teenagers who were burping, and said, "Li Xi, I can accept you, but what about the people who share him?" With that, he pointed at the twelve boys.

Li Xi understood, hugged his fists and said: "Master, wait a while, Xi has his own way!" With that, he strode towards the twelve teenagers.

"Come here!" Li Xi shouted to the twelve teenagers.

The teenagers gathered around Li Xi, and Feng Yao didn't go over to listen to what Li Xi said, just watched from a distance.

After a while, Li Xi led the twelve teenagers to kneel in front of Feng Yao.

"We are willing to recognize the Lord of Grace!" Including Li Xi, a total of thirteen teenagers said in unison.

Feng Yao was overjoyed, at a glance, the thirteen teenagers were all bright-eyed, looking at Feng Yao's face excitedly, although the thirteen faces were a little immature, but after the tribulation of this troubled world, they had already become young and old.

"You can recognize me as the master, and I, Feng Yao, will not treat you badly, but in the future, if anyone has the slightest betrayal, I will not spare it!" Feng Yao shouted in a deep voice, he didn't want that one day, the people he had cultivated with his heart would do things that were unfavorable to him, and it was better to speak first, so that some people who were not determined would retreat.

There was no force of force, no temptation of fame and fortune, Li Xi and other teenagers once again said in unison: "I wait for thirteen people, swear to serve the master to the death, if there is any betrayal, people and gods will be punished!" ”

"Good! In this case, I, Feng Yao, will accept you today and work together for the welfare of the people of the world in the future! ”

"The hosts! Xi has a word! Li Xi hugged his fists.

Feng Yao smiled and nodded.

Li Xi said: "Master! Li Xi and a total of thirteen people behind him, all of them are orphans who have no relatives in this world, since they have followed the master today, it is needless to say that they swear to serve their lives, but more than thirteen of us have gone through hardships together, and we don't want to separate in the future, Xi implores the master to agree, and give us thirteen brothers a foreign name, he will not dishonor his name in the future! ”

After listening to Li Xi's words, Feng Yao's eyes widened more and more, and the surprise in his eyes became heavier, and he once again had a higher evaluation of Li Xi!

"Li Xi, your suggestion is very good! I agree! Since you are all orphans, let's get married in this peach forest, why don't you call it the Thirteen Meanings of the Peach Forest? Feng Yao said.

Li Xi was overjoyed, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for the name!" The thirteen righteous wishes of the peach forest to go to the soup for the master! ”

After saying goodbye, Li Xi said again: "Master, Xi has no relatives in this life, and it doesn't make much sense to have a surname Li or not, Xi is willing to change his surname to follow the master's surname to show his loyalty!" Please agree with the host! ”

Feng Yao was stunned when he heard this, he never expected Li Xi to come to this set, and said in his heart: "What kind of business is this, absolutely not!" How old are you, and you're not even satisfied at the age of sixteen! How can you make Li Xi have your surname, isn't this similar to adopting a righteous son? No way! No way! How embarrassing it will look after this! ”

"No! I'm not much older than you! That's a bit out of place, isn't it? Feng Yao said.
