Although it was snowing heavily, there was a charcoal fire baking inside the house, and it was very warm.

The stepfather was busy with foreign affairs, and his mother and wife Tian led three women to sew shoes and socks for the little life that had just been born for a long time.

Tian was a mother for the first time, and she should have been happy, but because of the recent county affairs, there was no joy on her face, only a heavy one.

Of the other three women, two were concubines whose stepfather was lazy. The last one was the sinner woman assigned by Xie Yun during the rebellion of the thieves in Ping Hanoi a few years ago.

Among the sinners, many of the men in the family have died in the rebellion, so they are given to meritorious soldiers, slaves and concubines are free to the master's family, if the sinner woman Wang is a slave, she must serve 20 years of service before she can be married again, and when Tian is pregnant and cannot sleep, Xie Yun has been accepted into the room.

"Mother, I need to go out today, don't wait for me to eat!"

After saying hello to his mother and wife, Xie Yun prepared to go out. Sewing his grandson's small shoes, Mao's face also did not have the slightest joy at this time, and when he heard this, he sighed lightly and nodded, which was considered to be overdue.

The snow was heavy outside, and Wang hurriedly got up, took off the hat hanging on the wall, waited for Xie Yun to put it on, and then sent him to the door.

As soon as he came out, the chill to his bones made Xie Yun shiver.

Shun Shun wrapped himself tighter, and Xie Yun braved the heavy snow, walked out of the backyard, walked through the front hall, and then pushed the door open and went out into the street.

Although the snow was heavy, there was not much accumulation on the ground, but there was a thin layer of ice in many places, and there were shoes that would cause him to fall if he was not careful.

Bypassing the two streets is the big brother's mansion, but after Deng Ji's illness spread, there were a large group of people surrounding the front door every day, or inquiring about the condition. Either wailing and crying, or praying loudly, Xie Yun, who was in a mess, panicked, and went to the back door for servants to enter and exit.

There were also two Black Iron guards guarding the back door, but they all recognized them. Nodding and letting him in.

In the huge Deng Mansion, there is no longer the sound of laughter and laughter in the past, and the servants who occasionally pass by are cautious and bow their heads and hurry. The women of the main family all stayed in their own houses, the two Xiaolang and the sister-in-law were nowhere to be found, and no one whispered to the black iron guards who were patrolling around. It seems quiet and depressing.

Xie Yun walked around the backyard with his head bored, went straight to the front ward, and saw his father-in-law and Jia Xu, the division of the left army, setting up a table around a few fire pits, holding a big umbrella on their heads, and putting two desks, and dealing with political affairs outside the ward. General Xu Huang was listening.

There was an ugly ghost Dian Wei standing in front of the door of the ward, only Wu Ji stayed in the house to accompany him, and Deng Ji continued to be unconscious in a high fever.

If there is any good news, Xie Yun will know that Deng Ji's condition has not improved yet, and he is not here to inquire about his condition, but because he is worried. I can't rest assured every day, just stand quietly outside for a while.

There was really something going on today, and the father-in-law and the others were also busy, Xie Yun stayed with him quietly for a while, and then quietly withdrew the same way and went west to the city.

After walking a few more streets, I looked up and saw several spacious houses on the right, which was a school, Xie Yun's destination today.

Along the way, I have met several acquaintances, all of whom have known each other since childhood. Everyone has the same destination.

Today's morning class has ended, and there are no masters and children in the school, but the snow under the steps is full of new footprints, and I don't know how many people have already arrived.

There were still people coming here behind him, Xie Yun frowned. Walk up a few steps and walk slowly.

There are more than 20 people in the school, and the higher ones are the military marquis Xiahou Sheng Pingyin County Commander Xiang Wen under the command of Lazy Gu, and the rest of the people Xie Yun also know all of them, all of them are young people who have just grown up in the county, and their identities are different, some are the county clerks and township middle and middle reaches of the tun chief, some are the chief of the hundreds of generals in the army or just ordinary soldiers, there are also craftsmen, and there are two minors.

The person who started this sudden gathering was Zheng Ran, who had just been elected to the county government as a subordinate official this year.

"Yuan Rang has arrived!"

"I've seen Junhou Xie!"

Zheng Ran's temperament is too gloomy, although they have known each other for a long time, Xie Yun doesn't like him very much, and he doesn't understand the reason why the other party summoned his family to wait, he glanced at it a few times, greeted him in return, and asked Zheng Ran: "Zheng Zhiying, why did Cambodia invite me to come here?"

Knowing that it should be Zheng Ran's word, but the time has not yet arrived, and the people invited are not yet ready, he soothed: "Yuan let me be restless, and sit down first, and then I will know!"

Although there was no charcoal fire in the house, there were many people, and it was much warmer than outside, looking at the crowd suspiciously, Xie Yun walked to Xiahou Sheng and knelt down.

"Do you know what we are together today?"

"You don't know it! I wanted to ask earlier. ”

The two of them are fellow villagers in Yongqiu, and Xiahou Sheng is under the command of Lazy Gu, so the relationship is naturally a little closer than others, after Xie Yun sat down, he began to trust each other and inquire, and the people next to him were also whispering.

Looking at the posture, it seems that except for Zheng Ran himself, no one knows the purpose of this gathering, could it be that at this time, this guy still has the heart to gather friends?

Xie Yun and 66 continued to come in more than a dozen, all of them were the same young and grew up in Henan, it is estimated that they saw people coming, and Zheng Ran said: "I invite you to come here today, just for one thing!"

Recently, he has been so anxious that Xie Yun has been waiting for more than half an hour according to his temperament, and when he finally got to the point, he was busy cheering up and listening to what he said.

After a pause, Zheng Ran continued: "Today, the lord is seriously ill, life and death are difficult to know, there are many unstable phases in Henan, but we and other Taiping Daoists need to plan early!"

"Shut up!"

"You want to die?"

"The thief is so bold!"

Although Xie Yunxia Hou Sheng was accompanied by the Yellow Turban when he was wandering, after a long time, he also followed the lazy Che Huang Deng Zhong and others to believe in the great sage and good teacher. Looking at the young people gathered today, in addition to being familiar with each other, there is another thing they have in common, that is, they all believe in the Taiping religion. Xie Yun's wife, uncle Tian Lei, and others were not invited.

It's just that this small group of people is also the most supportive of Deng Ji, the big brother with a pimple, because of Deng Ji's illness, they are already anxious, and when they hear Zheng Ran's opening remarks, they are all furious, and they scold out loud.

Xie Yun was also angry, and scolded Zheng with Xiahou Sheng's angry voice, his face was not good, and his hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword in his waist.

The crowd was turbulent, but Zheng Ran's face remained unchanged at all, and he said again: "The lord is seriously ill, Henan is unstable, and Taiping Dao always needs to have a way out!"

"What do you want?" Xie Yun was the king of children when he was young, and now he is very prestigious among this group of teenagers, at this time, he pressed the hilt of the sword, stared at Zheng Ran, and said angrily: "If you want to talk about the way out of Taiping Dao, you should go to the ordinary old people in Sankun Mountain to discuss it, why do you need me to wait?"

"Chang Lao and others are old, and they don't serve on weekdays, so it's useless to find them!" Zheng Ran said coldly: "If you want to discuss the future of the sect, it will be difficult for you to do it!"

Xiang Wen was beside him, and he also sneered and said to Zheng Ran: "I can't help but look down on my own family, who seems to be able to rebel from you?"

Zheng Ran was disdainful, and replied to him casually: "Although I am not talented, I am fortunate to know that I dare not betray Henan, and I don't hope to get you to obey the order without saying a word!"

Xie Yun Xiahou Sheng Juhu asked, "What do you mean?"

Zheng Ranfang returned to his cold appearance in the past, and said in a positive tone: "Now that the lord is seriously ill, the soldiers and officials of the three counties are all uneasy, and this is easy to cause the rebellion of the juniors, and the local chaos has gradually arisen!" If the lord is not governed, I am afraid that soon the three counties will be owned by Haoqiang, and they will no longer be the paradise of Taiping Road! ”

Seeing that everyone retracted their anger and slowly began to ponder, Zheng Ran said again: "In the chaos of the world for more than ten years, the yellow scarves in various places have gradually disappeared. However, if you don't think about change, the catastrophe will not be far away! ”

So here, Zheng Ran showed a painful look on his face: "I am a citizen of Xuzhou, when I was a child, I followed my family into a moth thief, but the Quartet was difficult, and the heroes drove us into Yanzhou, and finally fled to Hebei, and was hit by Gongsun Zhan, and fled all the way, like a lost dog, panicked all day, and the family died in the ravine, wandering in Jizhou. Along the way, the roots of the flesh trees are fed, the dew quenches the thirst of the ice, and the muddy snow sleeps soundly. Fortunately, he voted for Deng Gong in the Hou country, so he had to protect this cheap body and fight for his life! If you don't want to be a lost dog anymore, you have to guard my Henan, and the death of the lord will not change! ”

In these troubled times, fate is not up to anyone, and who of these teenagers has suffered less? was moved by Zheng Ran's words to the old things in his heart, and he was sad and silent.

After a long time, Xiang Wen asked again: "How to keep my Henan bureau unchanged?"

This question is already in agreement with the previous words, Zheng Ran said: "I have not learned enough, and I have been thinking hard for a long time, so I can use the example of the lord's supervision to get a strategy here, so I invite you to discuss: my Henan army is strong and political, and the foreign enemy is not easy to invade, so I am worried about the internal troubles and do not gather the strength of our sect members, and each of them will investigate the affairs of the officials in the army, if there is a rebellion among the thieves, they will be entangled in the report and prevent the chaos from happening, no matter what the lord's future generations will be, the three counties can be a little peaceful, how about it?"

Someone in the crowd complained: "This kind of thing has its own supervision, why do we need to wait?"

Zheng Ran shook his head and said, "Supervision is in the Ming, if the thieves want to cause chaos, how can they do it?" There may be omissions, it is not as cheap as us to act in secret! ”

I had to admit that he was reasonable, so several people agreed, and Zheng Ran said happily: "We are the 'Taiping people', and we can invite the congregants to participate, and secretly tell you to pay attention to this matter, so that the three counties can be safe!"

Seeing that there were many people around him, Xiang Wen Xiahou Sheng felt a little uneasy, Taiping Dao is now the largest under Deng Ji's command, and it is the foundation of the three counties.

Xie Yun had already questioned: "Zheng Zhi should want to blackmail this Taiping people for personal gain?"

"I knew you should have asked this!" Zheng Ran said disdainfully: "The Taiping people are in the dark, and there is no leader, whether you are willing to make your own decisions, but if there is a person who reports the rebellion and invites the merit to the above, you should remove his name and ask for it from the top and bottom of the sect!" It's me, who has resigned from the county and asked to be the master of the township, and I don't ask about it anymore! ”
