Xiao Buyi rode forward, everyone understood and was puzzled, but they all followed behind Xiao Buyi.

Xu Shiji looked at Xiao Buyi and the others walking away, turned the road and disappeared, presumably waiting in front, and couldn't help but be moved.

He never thought that Zhai Rang would also come to look for him in disguise, and the man with the beard was Zhai Rang. The man and woman beside him were Zhai Wushuang and Zhai Mosheng, the two who assassinated Xiao Buyi last time.

Xu Shiji knew that he owed Zhai Rang a lot, but now he owes Xiao Buyi more.

Although Zhai Rang was rescued by Li Mi's scheme, and the Wagang people were full of suspicion of Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji knew that this had nothing to do with Xiao Buyi, and he still owed Xiao Buyi a favor because of this. At the beginning, Xu Shiji turned around to see Xiao Buyi, and when Zhai Wushuang and Zhai Mosheng were arrested, Xiao Buyi actually handed over the two to Xu Shiji and asked him to deal with them. As for whether Zhai Rang was escorted to the east, Xiao Buyi never asked. Xu Shiji was always thinking, Xiao Buyi couldn't have imagined that he would let Zhai Rang, Zhai Wushuang and others, he acted so risky, maybe he had already calculated the date and prepared to rebel, and it did prove Xu Shiji's idea afterwards, Xiao Buyi had planned many things in advance, and whether Zhai Rang was taken to the Eastern Capital had no matter the overall situation.

Zhai Rang, Zhai Wushuang and others are of course insignificant in Xiao Buyi's eyes, but in Xu Shiji's eyes, they have a heavy weight. After Xu Shiji took Zhai Wushuang and Zhai Mosheng out of Liangjun City, he told them that although the tile gang was broken, Zhai Rang and the others were still there, just let them turn around, don't come to assassinate Xiao Buyi again, he can save the two of them once, but he can't save them for a lifetime. Zhai Wushuang left with Zhai Mosheng in disbelief, Xu Shiji looked at them and disappeared, and said in his heart that the favor he had given Zhai Rang was almost the same.

He revolted very early, but in his own eyes over the years, he could be regarded as inactive, Yang Guang went south in the eyes of Xu Shiji, the opportunity to dominate the world has finally arrived, he knows that Xiao Buyi is also starting to prepare, and he can't help but feel excited. The troubled times are the time when men make meritorious contributions, and he should make a lot of achievements with Xiao Buyi, but he didn't expect to meet Zhai Rang again at this time!

After he finished speaking, Wei Chigong was embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the ordinary field in an instant.

Seeing that Xu Shiji was always silent, Zhai Rang sighed, "Shiji, I have always felt that I misunderstood you, but you also know that I am embarrassed." There are so many people in the cottage who are suspicious of you, and I can't defend you. After Wushuang turned around, he told me that you saved them, and I understood at that time, it turned out that although you left Wagang, you have always thought about us. Even if it weren't for Li Mi, I think you'd let us go, wouldn't you? ”

Xu Shiji finally said: "There are many things that have no ifs, and they can never be repeated in the past." Let's not talk about the past. However, the owner of the village has a grudge with General Xiao, so please be careful and leave early. ”

Zhai Rang heard Xu Shiji call the owner of the village, his eyes were full of tears, "Why don't you dare, the old man's life was picked up." Now he is also a thief, and I am also a thief, and I can be regarded as a thief, and there is no longer any conflict of interest. What's more, if you can see the world's achievements, what does it matter if the old man takes risks. ”

He turned over and dismounted and came to Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji hesitated, and also jumped off the horse, "I don't know what the owner of the village is looking for me?" ”

"What's the matter? Of course, I asked Brother Xu to return to Wagang. Zhai Wushuang said loudly: "Brother Xu is known to be talented, Wagang can't do without you!" ”

Zhai Mosheng also said on the side: "Yes, Brother Xu, Wushuang and I are trying our best to defend you, now everyone in Wagang has eliminated misunderstandings with you, and the owner of the village has come to look for you in person, Brother Xu, although Wagang has been broken, but our foundation is still there, and now there is Li Mi planning ......."

Zhai Rang coughed, interrupted Zhai Mosheng's following, and looked forward to it: "World achievements, everyone is hot-blooded, it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings, now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, Xiao Buyi is also a grass, presumably there is nothing to do, you may not be more developed than Wagang with him, in this case, how about not turning back with me now?" ”

**

"Boss Xiao, that's Zhai Rang and his daughter." Sun Shaofang suddenly remembered something.

Xiao Buyi said 'um', jumped off the horse, and sat down on a rock.

Sun Shaofang was a little anxious, "Boss Xiao, you can't always do this." Zhai Rang obviously came over to let Xu Shiji turn around, how can you let it go? Wei Chigong was let go by you, and now he defected to Liu Wuzhou. Now it's Xu Shiji's turn again, if he goes again......"

"If he dares to go, I will arrest him back." Pei Xingyan couldn't hold back.

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Shaofang, if Yang Guang gives an order now and lets you command the Praetorian Guard, will you turn around?" ”

Sun Shaofang shook his head, "I only believe that you can only find a way out by following Boss Xiao." ”

Xiao Buyi looked at Pei Xingyan and said, "Then if the saint decrees that you will be made a general, and everything is not to blame, will you go back?" ”

Pei Xingyan shook his head, "I only believe that with Boss Xiao, you will have a better future, and the general is a fart!" Besides, if there is chaos today, Huang Yanjing may not be able to sit firmly, and the position of the general does not need to be mentioned! ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Since you all understand this truth, why doesn't Xu Shiji understand?" If he takes Zhai Rang away from me, then I have nothing to say. It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and there are many things that can't be forced. ”

Pei Xingyan and Sun Shaofang glanced at each other, what is the meaning of the words that the mother wants to marry, the meaning is quite profound, Xiao Boss is always unfathomable, although he is not at ease with Xu Shiji, it can be seen that Xiao Buyi is in his chest in contemplation, and he can only wait.

**

"Brother Xu, if you can't make it, you can say something! is still hesitant, but he is not like the high-spirited Brother Xu at the beginning. Zhai Wushuang asked.

"Brother Xu, everyone is waiting for you, the owner of the village came to invite you in person, can't this make you change your mind?" Zhai Mosheng asked.

Zhai Rang said sincerely: "Shiji, Ling Zun has also gone south, and now we are looking for you around Liang County, but we are one step ahead of him to see you, if Shi Ji is in a hurry, you can see Ling Zun when you go to Liang County." ”

Xu Shiji is a filial son, Zhai Rang of course understands that when he pulled Xu Shiji into the gang, it actually had a lot to do with Xu's father, Zhai Rang's original intention was to rely on his friendship with Xu Shiji, plus Xu's father's bargaining chips to pull Xu Shiji back. He came to Xu Shiji not on the spur of the moment, but because of foresight.

Just because after the tile gang was broken, Zhai Rang's lack of progress was quite weak, and the image of begging for mercy and fleeing for his life was exaggerated to an unprecedented extent, except for a few diehards, even Shan Xiongxin's vision of him was different from before. On the contrary, Li Mi was silent and steady, and because of the rumors of peach and plum, the bandits near Wagang slowly followed, he remembered that when Xu Shiji was there, his scenery was very different from today's downfall, and he only felt that Xu Shiji was smart, but he was his own Pucao, so he had the idea of looking for Xu Shiji's turn.

I thought that when it came to Xu's father, Xu Shiji would have no hesitation when he turned around, but he didn't expect Xu Shiji to look into the distance, his heart is different from people, and Zhai Rang is too far behind Xiao Buyi. Xiao Buyi has always regarded him as a brother, bold and courageous, Xiao Buyi's caution and Zhai Rang's indecision are completely different. He treated him sincerely, but Zhai Rang knew that he was blackmailed by his father, and he was called a hero in vain, and he hesitated too much.

Xu Shiji has made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Owner of the village, Shiji is now under the weight of General Xiao, and he is happy to live. If there is a Li Mi leaving, General Xiao is benevolent, the owner of the village can join forces with General Xiao, but the Wagang is worry-free, if it is outdated, I am only afraid that the magpie's nest dove will occupy it, and it will be too late to regret it. The world's achievements are all here, and please think twice about the owner of the village. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to get on the horse, Zhai Rang was a little anxious, and 'Gu Dong' knelt on the ground and said: "Shiji, do you really refuse to forgive the old man?" ”

Zhai Wushuang was angry and annoyed, and reached out to pull his father, "Dad, what are you doing, is there only one Xu Shiji in the world?" Xu Shiji, you really disappointed me! ”

When Zhai Wushuang said this, his eyes were red, and he stomped his feet again and again, and Zhai Mosheng snorted coldly: "Xu Shiji, if you leave, we will break off from now on, where to go, you should think about it." ”

Three attitudes, Xu Shiji stopped, looked back at Zhai Rang who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly took a few steps forward.

Zhai Rang was a little surprised, and he was about to say something, but Xu Shiji also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhai Rang three times.

Everyone was stunned, although Xiao Buyi was peaceful, ignoring the movement on this side, Zhou Muru, who was rusty in the distance, had been secretly looking at Xu Shiji's actions, and when he saw Xu Shiji kneeling, Zhou Muru shouted in a low voice: "Boss Xiao, it's not good, Xu Shiji kowtowed to Zhai Rang and admitted his mistake, your benevolent and righteous act can't match Zhai Rang's cheekiness!" ”

Ah Rust also said, "Boss, didn't you say that a tree will die if it doesn't have bark, people don't want to be invincible in the world, Zhai Rang is shameless, you may not be able to fight him." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said indifferently: "If Xu Shiji turns Wagang, just use his legs, no need to kowtow." ”

Sun Shaofang and Pei Xingyan glanced at each other and nodded slowly.

Xu Shiji knelt down and said: "The owner of the village knows the achievements of the world, and saves the grace of his father, and he dare not forget the achievements of the world." But now I have made up my mind, and I implore the owner of the village to let go, and he said that if the owner of the village is in trouble, as long as he greets, if the world is known, there is no reason to stand up. ”

Zhai rang's lips twitched twice, his eyes were blank, and tears flowed. Xu Shiji got up and turned over on the horse. Zhai Rang said suddenly: "Shiji, when it is said that the red willow we planted in Wagang is already very strong, please turn around and take a look at Shiji one day." ”

Zhai Rang still didn't give up, and wanted to win over again with affection. At that time, everyone revolted, based on Wagang, Xu Shiji on a whim, following the law of the ancients, and everyone planted a red willow, saying that the red willow is luxuriant, that is, when Wagang is prosperous. Zhai Rang mentioned Hongliu at this moment, of course, he still hoped that Xu Shiji would turn around.

Xu Shiji was immediately stunned, and hugged his fists for a while and said: "The owner of the village, when Shiji was young and young, ignorant and frivolous, and now I remember the true meaning of what the ancients said. ”

After he finished speaking, he patted his horse forward, no longer lingering, and did not turn his head, and disappeared in the distance in the green grass and green mountains in an instant. Seeing that Xu Shiji was gone, Zhai Rang sat down weakly and sighed, "Wood is like this, how can people be worthy?" The old man is old, and the world performance doesn't help me anymore. ”

Zhai Wushuang stretched out his hand to help his father, and said angrily: "Dad, you don't have to be depressed, now that Li Mi is here, he is even more powerful than Shiji, we ask Xu Shiji to turn around because he misses the old, he doesn't appreciate it, he can only say that he doesn't know what to do, it's his loss." When Wagang is revitalized, he will most likely come back and beg us to take it in! ”

"Xu Shiji's father is still ...... in Liang County now," Zhai Mosheng said suddenly.

Zhai Rang finally stood up, shook his head and said, "Don't tell Shiji's father about this matter, just say that we are still looking for it." Although this Li Mi is powerful and has a lot of means, and he has always been very respectful to me, Shiji reminded me to be wary twice, and it seems that I have to be on guard. ”

**

Xu Shiji rode his horse to the turn of the intersection, saw that Xiao Buyi and the others had already mounted their horses, stared at Xiao Buyi and said, "Thank you General Xiao for waiting." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled lazily and said, "The achievements of the world are worth waiting for." ”

What he said was undoubted, Xu Shiji was moved in his heart, and he didn't say much, and urged the horse forward with everyone.

The crowd had not gone far, and a horse came out of the corner in front of them, and immediately sat a woman, dressed in black and scarf. Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Those who eat white rice are waiting for labor." ”

Of course, the woman in the black scarf was the one who jumped off the cliff with Xiao Buyi, and until now, Xiao Buyi still didn't know her name. The woman didn't say anything, and Xiao Buyi didn't ask, but just called her a white rice.

The woman in black said indifferently: "Xiao Buyi is worth my wait." ”

What she said and Xiao Buyi said to Xu Shiji seemed to have heard everyone's conversation, but the meaning was very different from what Xiao Buyi said.

"I'm going west, I don't know where you're going?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"Then I will also go west, don't forget, the covenant between you and me is still there." The woman in black said flatly.

Xiao Buyi nodded, rode forward, and the woman in black followed unhurriedly.

The brothers Rao has been through the weather, and they can't see what the relationship between this woman and Xiao Buyi is.

The covenant between the two of them should not be a mountain alliance and a sea oath, a sea of dry rocks and the like.

If it is ordinary, a woman is waiting for a man, and she doesn't ask to know, then she must have some meaning for men. Even if it is pretentious, there are still some traces after all, but this time it is an exception, and the brothers feel that this woman is interesting to Xiao Buyi before she has a ghost.

But since Boss Xiao has no opinion, the brothers are not good to ask too much, Zhou Muru kindly asked, "Boss Xiao, from here to the west, you will soon arrive in Runan, Miss Pei and Qiaoxi are waiting for you." ”

Yuan Lan said with a smile: "Qiaoxi must also miss Buyi very much." ”

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, "The sword light and sword shadow in the end, I actually miss Qiaoxi and Bei'er very much, I don't know how they are now?" ”

When he said this, Xiao Buyi's heart was full of sweetness and warmth, but he couldn't help but think of Meng Chenxue, secretly thinking that Pei Bei and Qiaoxi still had a companion, but Meng Chenxue was alone in the grassland. In his own life, none of these three women seem to be inseparable, but the tense atmosphere and the environment of licking blood with knives and knives are really inconvenient to take them by his side.

When will this rush come to an end? Xiao Buyi sighed secretly, and under the pride, he couldn't help but be at a loss.

Yuan Lan saw Xiao Buyi's contemplation, but thought that he was missing Qiaoxi, Pei Bei, and was relieved.

Yuan Lan and Xiao Buyi's current relationship is far better than others, it is really because he has always been persistent, but of course he still wants to kiss and kiss, this time it is suggested that since Xiao Buyi avoids the limelight first, he will go to Runan to talk about it first, and want to finalize the marriage first.

Although the main house is not important, the name is set, which can always make people feel at ease. Qiaoxi is well-behaved and cute, but Pei Bei and Xiao Buyi are lovers of life and death, if you talk about feelings, of course, Pei Bei and Xiao Buyi are deeper. Yuan Lan let Qiaoxi and Pei Bei get closer, in fact, she had the idea of having two daughters and one husband. He's a businessman, and he's actually more real than many people see. Sometimes fighting is actually losing, he gives some, only to get more. In Yuan Lan's eyes, a man's three wives and four concubines are normal, even if he wins the main house, if Xiao Buyi has no ingenuity in his heart, it will be more than worth the loss.

Although Yuan Lan is low-key, if it is a real decision, no one can change it. When he arrived in Kyoto, he originally thought that Xiao Buyi should not be an official, but since he decided to cooperate with Xiao Buyi, he also supported him. Xiao Buyi sat in the position of the servant Shaoqing, although he has his own strength, in fact, it also has a lot to do with Yuan Lan's connections, when Xiao Buyi became the general of the right Xiaowei, Yuan Lan did not feel surprised, but trembled and feared, and now Xiao Buyi is being hunted down, although it is urgent, but Yuan Lan feels at ease.

When Zhou Muru and Yuan Lan mentioned Yuan Qiaoxi and Pei Bei, they both looked at the woman in black, and said in their hearts No matter what, there is always a first come, first come, even if you are not bad at martial arts, you can only be regarded as a partial room. The woman in black turned a deaf ear and was indifferent, the two of them shook their heads secretly, and said in their hearts that they were a beauty to make a pretty eye for the blind man, and they had wasted their thoughts.

After Xu Shiji and Zhai Rang broke up, they kept muttering something, and when they heard the word Runan, their eyes lit up, "Boss Xiao, are you going to Runan this time?" ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "Brother Yuan has a lot of roots in Runan, and we are all wanted by the imperial court now, so we are not in a hurry to act rashly, and we will plan for the long term first." ”

Xu Shiji nodded, "That's what Boss Xiao said, but forgive me for daring to ask, what will Boss Xiao decide to do in the future?" Everyone is following you, and there must be a purpose. ”

As soon as he spoke, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and everyone looked at Xiao Buyi, only the woman in black slowly fell behind and stayed away from everyone. She acted indifferently, but she was measured, knowing that what everyone was going to discuss was important, and she made it clear that she didn't want to listen to it.

Xiao Buyi frowned slightly, "I don't have a conclusion on how to do it now, in fact, my original intention is to plan to go to Ma Yi after I go to Runan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not so easy for Yang Guang to deal with us......"

He is also gradually changing, although he is beginning to be ambitious and ready to go, but when he thinks of fighting the world, he still has no real goal.

Zhou Muru and Ah Rust both nodded, and Ah Rust said: "It's good to go to Mayi, our foundation is there, and it is close to the grassland, so it is convenient to attack and retreat." Li Juncheng is also there, everyone is together, and it is more convenient to do things. ”

Pei Xingyan shook his head, "That place in Mayi is small and remote, what's so good." I think General Xiao has become famous and famous all over the world, so it is better to find a good place to expose it. ”

Zhou Muru and Ah Rust glanced at each other, and they all said: "What's the good of rebellion, isn't it better to sell horses?" When Boss Xiao became a general, of course we couldn't say anything, we were afraid of pulling Boss Xiao's hind legs, but now that the general didn't do it, it was better to do business. ”

The two of them saw the limitations of their knowledge and did not think of too much development, but Pei Xingyan was always ambitious, shook his head and said: "How can doing business be a pleasure in robbing the world." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "I don't know what Shiji thinks?" ”

Xu Shiji cheered up, "Boss Xiao, in fact, I think what Xing Yan said makes a lot of sense. Boss Xiao, you are now powerful in the world, if you go to sell horses again, won't people laugh off their big teeth? ”

"Is it the same as you, going around robbing?" Zhou Muru was not convinced.

Xu Shiji shook his head, "This is wrong, haven't Mu Ru heard that the ancients once said that those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country are princes." A small fight is to be beheaded, but if you win the world, you can only cut off others, who dares to say that you are a thief? ”

Zhou Muru and Ah Rust looked at each other, "You said to let Boss Xiao be the emperor?" ”

"Why not?" Pei Xingyan said loudly: "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?" In my opinion, Boss Xiao is an outlier in the Great Sui, and it is okay to be the emperor, when the time comes, you and I will be the founding heroes, and the fame will be far and wide, not much better than selling horses? ”

He was agitated and excited, but Ah Rust frowned and looked around, muttering, "Just a few of us?" ”

Xiao Buyi doesn't seem to have many people around him now, no wonder Ah Rust has no confidence.

Xu Shiji laughed, "It's just a matter of a few of us, General Xiao has made a sensation in the Central Plains with his own strength, you don't have to underestimate prestige, as long as you have a reputation, occupy the territory, and have surplus food, the people will soon come to cling." General Xiao's current prestige is not necessarily worse than Wagang in the eyes of many people, you are together, talented and ambitious people will come to defect, is there still a shortage of people at that time? Some people are destined to be ministers by nature, and some people are military generals, Xiao Boss has accumulated for several years, and now his prestige is far and wide, but he is destined to have the capital to be the boss. ”

Xiao Buyi was interested, "Then according to the world's view, how should we develop?" ”

Xu Shiji muttered: "I don't know if you have ever heard that the ancients have clouds, the world is a big chess game, and the chess game is a small world?" If you understand the chess game, this world is not much different. ”

"Don't sell it." Pei Xingyan asked: "I can fight the war, and it's up to you to come up with ideas." General Xiao, Shiji, I have an idea, why don't we go and occupy Wagang, what do you say? That place is familiar with the world's achievements, we have also fought, when the time comes, kill Zhai Rang by General Xiao as the owner of the village, with Wagang as the foundation, gather the people of the counties, conquer Xingyang, take the tiger prison, Yanshi, and attack the eastern capital, what do you say? ”

Pei Xingyan seems to be rough, but in fact, he is also careful, and he is not at ease with Xu Shiji, he is tempted by words.

Xu Shiji really showed a look of embarrassment, and understood Pei Xingyan's intentions better. But he is also in a dilemma, it is easy for him to leave Zhai Rang, but he is still uneasy to let him kill Zhai Rang, or attack his former brother.

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "It's just a joke, in my opinion, the eastern capital is really the weight of the Great Sui, and the elite soldiers of the Weifu are gathered close to the left." I am very familiar with the east, and I know that the place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the geographical location of Wagang is good, but it is not easy to take the eastern capital! Yang Xuangan's orders of tens of thousands still can't capture the eastern capital, we have to fight, and we must clash head-on with the Sui army. The Sui army is strong, we resist to the death, if we fail, we will collapse and attack the eastern capital, we are far from this kind of strength now. ”

Xu Shiji nodded and said approvingly: "Boss Xiao, you are the one who hides deeply, and what you say is the Tao, in fact, I think the same way." Wagang Juyi, most of them are the people who can't survive in Henan, so they can only stay there. There is their roots, if you leave your hometown to fight everywhere, most of them will not follow, which is the same reason that you were forced to rebel by the emperor, but you can't take away the elite soldiers of Weifu. But now that we are doing it from scratch, we definitely don't have to stick to Wagang. I don't know if General Xiao has ever heard Mu like this, how can people be worthy of this sentence? ”

Xiao Buyi groaned: "This sentence seems to have been said by the ancients, the meaning is full of sadness, I don't know why Shiji said this?" ”

Xu Shiji smiled and said: "This is what I just said to the owner of the village, but it is quoted from the mouth of Huan Wen, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I was young and frivolous, I felt that there was nothing to do in the world, and I just wanted to emulate Huan Wen to create an immortal foundation, so when the Wagang Uprising occurred, I followed Huan Wen's example when Jincheng planted willows, and the people of Wagang planted red willows to commemorate. Huan Wen three northern expeditions, the last time I saw the willow trees planted that year luxuriant, but I felt that there was not much time, and the fame of my life was in this fight, so I said, "The wood is still like this, how can people be worthy". Although he is lonely in the end, he can use soldiers like gods, and the Northern Expedition will go north from Jingxiang to Nanyang, enter the pass, and fight the name of the first life, if I suggest, General Xiao can follow the law of Huan Wen and take the Xiangyang fortress to map the Central Plains! ”

(To be continued)
