Although the young man looks milky and has not dried up, his calm and sophisticated attitude is much stronger than Dou Zhong.

When he said that when he lent soldiers, it seemed that he was just borrowing some food steamed buns from Dou Zhong, so naturally.

Dou Zhongjin didn't receive it, he was furious, and when he saw the appearance of the young man, he suddenly remembered someone, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"What are you borrowing troops for?"

"Of course I want to do something, but now it's a heavenly opportunity, and I can't divulge it." The young man laughed.

Dou Zhong couldn't help but be angry again, and shouted: "Bold, you are talking wildly, do you really want to rebel?" ”

"Of course." The young man said without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have already reversed." ”

Dou Zhong said in a trembling voice: "Which one are you?" ”

"Oh, and I forgot to inform the county guard of my name," the young man smiled and arched his hand, and said politely, "My name is Xiao Buyi, I don't know if Dou County Shou has ever heard of it?" ”

Dou Zhong sat down, his eyes were a little dark, and he lost his mind and said, "You are Xiao Buyi?" ”

The first time he saw the young man, he felt a little familiar, and he only thought it was someone who had given a gift. But there was always some uneasiness in my heart, I felt that this person was not so simple, and when I heard him say that he was borrowing soldiers, I had already thought of where I had seen this person, but I still didn't want to admit it in my heart. But when he heard the young man call himself Xiao Buyi, he couldn't admit it or not.

That's right, this person is Xiao Buyi painted on the wanted official document, Dou Zhong never dreamed that he would be unscrupulous and swagger into the county guard mansion of Yiyang County.

He also vaguely heard of this Xiao Buyi, which has soared so fast in the past two years, but the Great Sui has not done it, but he doesn't know why he offended the emperor and let General Zhang Xutuo personally hunt him down. It's just that General Zhang Xutuo couldn't catch him, so he issued a wanted document in all counties along the Huaishui, stating that as long as Xiao Buyi was caught, the reward would be one hundred taels and the official would be promoted to three levels.

This is really a very generous treatment, but Dou Zhong has never been tempted by this kind of reward!

First, it is because Dou Zhong is still self-aware, and his heart is that even General Zhang can't catch someone, how can he catch it? Second, a hundred taels of gold looks like a lot, and it can even be said that many people dream of it, but in Dou Zhong's eyes, it is really nothing. He has too many official positions in Yiyang County to sell, and there is no need for him to fight hard for a hundred taels of gold. What about the promotion of the third level of the official, he is already very satisfied with the position of this county guard. From Hongze Lake along Huaishui to Yiyang County, there are Huainan, Lujiang, Geyang, Runan counties, Dou Zhongxin said that this Xiao Buyi will not run to Yiyang County. What is terrible, this Xiao Buyi is bold, not only ran to Yiyang, but also prepared to take him under the knife.

"Xu Xuan, I treat you well, and I won't take down the thieves?" Dou Zhong retreated again and again, and his face was fierce.

Xu Xuan suddenly smiled, "Lord Hui, General Xiao shook both sides of the Yellow River and made the world's heroes admire." Although Xu Xuan is not a hero, he has long admired him, how can he be arrested? ”

"It's against you, it's against you." Dou Zhong shouted again and again, pulling his throat and said, "Come on, come on, there are assassins!" ”

The voice was terrible, and it was heard far away in the county guard's mansion, and the sound of footsteps sounded, and more than a dozen guards rushed in and said, "My lord, what's wrong." ”

Seeing that they were all his own guards, Dou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, and stretched out his hand to point, "Quickly take down these two people." ”

All the soldiers looked at each other, "Lord Dou, this is Captain Xu......"

"What about Captain Xu, he colluded with Xiao Buyi to make a mess, take it quickly." Dou Zhong said.

All the soldiers were helpless, they surrounded one after another, and forced the two of them with knives, and one of them was eager to make meritorious contributions, and shouted urgently: "Xu Xuan, the adults treat you well, hurry up and arrest them, if not, ah......"

He let out a scream, rolled over and fell backwards, his hands covering his face, and rolling around covered in blood.

Xu Xuan pulled out his waist knife and slashed at the soldier's face, and the blood collapsed, which made people feel miserable.

All the soldiers retreated, but Xu Xuan said coldly: "Dou Zhong is a county guard, and he is an official of the imperial court, but he is corrupt and perverts the law, buying and selling officials, and looting the people, which is not tolerated by heaven." For example, today's chaos, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are heavy, the people have no way to make a living, the officials force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel. Everyone who follows General Xiao has a way out, otherwise, this person will be your fate. ”

He said so much in one breath, without taking a breath, obviously prepared. The soldiers screamed again and again, which made people feel frightened. In the poignant voice, everyone hesitated, although the other party was two people, but they did not dare to act rashly.

Although these people are Dou Zhong's personal guards, their family members are also close to Yiyang County, and they are panicked and don't know the way out, half of them are fiercely suppressed by Xu Xuan, and the other half are moved by what he said.

Dou Zhong stomped his feet again and again, "Okay, you Xu Xuan, so presumptuous, Lao Tzu was the first to cut you." ”

He grabbed a knife, and was about to step forward, ordering everyone to rush forward and chop the two of them into meat sauce, with a sound of 'collapse', followed by a cool breeze and a 'bang', Dou Zhong stopped, sweated profusely, and turned his head to look over.

I saw a crossbow arrow nailed to the stone wall behind him, and only the tail of the arrow was left behind, and Dou Zhong was full of joy in an instant. He saw that Xiao Buyi just raised his hand, and the crossbow arrow swept past him and inserted it into the wall, if it hit his body, the bones would be shot through, how could he not be shocked?

Xiao Buyi waved his hand again, and everyone was screaming and frightened, some ran high, some fell low, and some rolled a few times, taking a table to block in front of them, as for whether they could block Xiao Buyi's domineering crossbow arrows, it was completely uncertain.

Dou Zhong didn't dodge, let alone resist with anything, when he saw Xiao Buyi waving his hand, 'coo' sound, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, turned over and used his hands and feet together, how far he had to climb.

Everyone was flustered for a while, Xiao Buyi pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "I'm actually the most reasonable, I like to convince people with virtue, don't panic, everyone." ”

The crowd held tables and chairs in front of them and shouted, "What do you want to say?" ”

"You invite the county guard Dou over first, how can you say that people are also county guards, and it is insulting to crawl around on the ground." Xiao Buyi sighed.

Everyone rushed up, pressed their arms and legs, and had already escorted Dou Zhong over, Dou Zhong scolded loudly, and the guards ignored it, although Lord Dou asked for money in his heart, but now this Xiao Buyi is even more powerful. The lesser of two evils, it is natural to obey Xiao Buyi's orders.

When Xiao Buyi approached, looking at Xiao Buyi's smile with the coldness of the cold winter moon, Dou Zhong finally softened, knelt on the ground and cried: "General Xiao, I am acting on orders, and I have never thought of embarrassing you, so you don't want to kill me." If you want money and food, I'll prepare it for you. ”

Xiao Buyi laughed and patted him on the shoulder with his hand, "Master Dou, don't panic, I like to convince people with virtue the most, and I never force others to ......"

Dou Zhong secretly scolded in his heart, your grandmother is a man who convinces people with virtue, and your whole family is convincing people with virtue, if you also call it convincing people with virtue, Lao Tzu is a big clean official, with clean sleeves and a clean breeze, and he loves the people like a son. You kid kills people without blinking, even if you kill the king of Hades, it is indescribable, but now that you are a fish, you can only nod again and again, "General Xiao is right, in fact, General Xiao shook both sides of the Yellow River, hit the mountains and flew through Wagang, which is recited by all the people, I heard that the imperial court wants to embarrass General Xiao, and the lower officials are also related, but they are soft-spoken, and they can't be the master, they can't be the master." ”

"Lord Dou abandons the darkness and turns to the light, understands the reason, it is really gratifying, please sit down, come, fragrant tea." Xiao Buyi pulled up Dou Zhong with a smile, turned against the guest, and let him sit beside him. It's just a hand pointing at his lower abdomen, intentionally or unintentionally.

Dou Zhong is also a little skilled, but he has been blessed in the past few years, and he can't do anything with Xiao Buyi. He saw that Xiao Buyi just raised his head, and the crossbow arrow shot out, only to feel that wherever Xiao Buyi pointed, there was a chill, and he coughed: "I don't know what General Xiao commands?" ”

The two of them still met with swords, you live and die, this will be as affectionate as an iron buddy wearing a pair of pants.

All the guards looked at each other, not understanding what kind of general this young man was, but the unlucky ghost on the ground was still moaning, which could not help but be in great disharmony with the current peaceful coexistence.

Dou Zhong turned around and shouted, "Don't pull this person out yet." Turning his head to look at Xiao Buyi, he turned into a smiling face, "If General Xiao has any orders, the lower officials will be satisfied." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded and said with satisfaction: "There are two paths for you to choose from right now, one is that you obey the orders of the imperial court, arrest me and bring me to justice, and from then on I will be promoted to a knight, which is unspeakably expensive." ”

Dou Zhong hurriedly waved his hand, "General Xiao said with a smile, this road will never be taken." ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "Since you don't leave, everyone present can see it clearly, and you can only follow me all the way." If you want to repent, even if I don't pursue it, I'm afraid General Zhang and the Holy Lord won't allow you. ”

Dou Zhong secretly complained to himself, so he could only force a smile, "The lower officials have made up their minds, and I ask General Xiao not to doubt them."

"Then there's only a second way to go." Xiao Buyi said unhurriedly.

"Please also ask General Xiao to point out the clear way." Dou Zhong said with a smile.

Xiao Buyi looked around at everyone and said, "I heard that the city father Zhu Cang has recently made a rebellion, endangering the people of the Huaihe counties. This Zhu Cang heard that women and children are used as military food, and they do all kinds of evil, which is really indignant to people and gods. ”

Everyone was shocked, Dou Zhong frowned and said: "I heard that this person calls himself the king of Louluo, and orders more than 100,000 subordinates, Yiyang County does not occupy the main point, and there are not many soldiers, so he is barely self-protecting, although he wants to work with General Xiao to eradicate this Zhu Cang, he is only afraid that he will be powerless." ”

Xiao Buyi said indifferently: "There are not many soldiers, but they are fine, Lord Dou can't do it, and I can't do it." ”

He said arrogantly, but Dou Zhong could only nod, "What General Xiao said is very true, I think that General Xiao broke through Lishanfei's 100,000 army with thousands of soldiers, and this Zhu Cang's prestige is far inferior to Lishanfei. ”

He is now hanging in Xiao Buyi's hand, and he can only speak along Xiao Buyi's lips, not sincerely. secretly thought that after going out, he would either gather soldiers, or roll up his cover to escape, and follow Xiao Buyi to rebel, so it would not be a dead end? However, it is strange to hear that Xiao Buyi is dissatisfied with Zhu Cang, and he said in his heart that you are a thief and a thief, and you can be regarded as a fellow believer, how can you still have something to do with it. Is it because of the uneven interests that you want to borrow Sui soldiers to attack Zhu Cang?

"But this Zhu Cang is very cunning, and it is not easy to catch him." Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "I want to get rid of this evil, but I can't do it." He was originally in the vicinity of Huainan, but was defeated by General Zhang, and now he is running along the Huai River, and now he has reached the area of Xiangyang. According to my information, he is attacking Xiangyang, and it is only then that he asks Lord Dou to send troops to Xiangyang to exterminate the bandits and restore peace to the people of the world! ”

**

Xiao Buyi's righteousness was awe-inspiring, Dou Zhong frowned secretly, he didn't understand Xiao Buyi's intentions, if there was chaos today, the people were not happy, Yang Guang abandoned the eastern capital and went to Jiangnan, and the faint order was not good, and the counties went their own ways. As for whether Zhu Cang arrived in Xiangyang, he didn't know, and suddenly his heart sank, secretly thinking that although Yiyang County is small, it can be separated from Xiangyang by a water, Xiangyang City is really an important town, choking the south and north, is Xiao Buyi ready to suppress bandits openly and secretly take Xiangyang?

Although he thought of this, he didn't dare to say it, Dou Zhong got up slowly, "Since General Xiao has an order, the lower officials should obey it." However, when it comes to the transfer of troops in Yiyang County, the subordinate officials have to go out in person. ”

Xiao Buyi also stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'll accompany Master Dou for a ride." ”

He followed Dou Zhong out of the county guard's mansion, and the guards followed, only to the door, and saw that all the lieutenants under Dou Zhong had rushed to the door, Dou Zhong was overjoyed in his heart, and he was silent, and said in his heart Xiao Buyi Even if his martial arts are strong, as long as he escapes his restraints, these subordinates should be able to resist for a while, and then he thinks about how to call the police, and the captains have bowed down and saluted: "General Xiao!" ”

Dou Zhong's heart was half cold, almost thinking that he was dreaming.

Even if Xu Xuan betrayed him, anyone would inevitably be betrayed, but at the moment, these captains are all respectful to Xiao Buyi, how is this possible?

These people were like being enchanted, Dou Zhong's heart was dripping blood, but he still had to squeeze out a smile, and he was at a loss for a while.

Xiao Buyi pointed to a young man with a thick figure and said, "Lord Dou, have you ever known General Pei, the first fierce general under me?" ”

The young man smiled at Dou Zhong, baring a mouthful of white teeth, like a cannibal.

Dou Zhongmu said: "Is this general Pei Xingyan?" ”

"That's right, Lord Dou is really smart, and he will be right when he says it." Xiao Buyi laughed, "I still have something to do, so I will follow you to protect Lord Dou's safety in the future." At the beginning, he went out of the army Wagang, singlely killed among the thousands of horsemen, killed Zhang Tong'er, poked Zhang Tong'er with a horse lance, and threw it around in the air without being brave, the high level of this martial art is naturally self-evident. With him to protect Lord Dou's safety, I am very relieved. ”

Dou Zhong grinned, like crying, "Thank you General Xiao for your care." ”

Xiao Buyi patted Dou Zhong's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I've always been convinced by virtue." ”

**

Dou Zhong went to recruit troops under the protection of Pei Xingyan, Yiyang County is not big, and it is not geographically concise, and there are not many soldiers in a hurry, but Xiao Buyi is not in a hurry, and goes straight to a mansion in the city, as if returning to his own home, there is a person sitting in the hall, looking at Xiao Buyi with a smile, that person's face is ruddy, the bridge of his nose is straight, although it is men's clothing, he has a somewhat handsome feeling.

"Is everything going well?" The man asked softly.

Xiao Buyi sat down, held his hand, and said with a smile: "Belle, I actually think you have to rest for a while." ”

That person is Pei Bei, and her complexion is much better than when the Eastern Capital was separated.

"If you don't rest, it will rust if you rest again. I feel that I can be no different from a normal person without using martial arts, and when I heard that you had been through life and death, I just hated not being able to follow you. Pei Bei's tone was less blunt and more naughty and gentle.

Xiao Buyi said warmly: "I know, you don't have to be by my side, it's enough for someone to care about me." ”

Pei Bei's eyes fluttered, and she said playfully: "Are you saying that I am still talking about others?" I'm concerned about you, but I know that others are also in the same mind. As for the people who care about you, there is at least one Qiaoxi sister in the family, and there are two tags in the grassland who are also concerned about you......"

"Wait, how come there are two tags?" Xiao Buyi was puzzled: "Which one else is there besides Meng Chenxue?" ”

Seeing Pei Bei's cunning eyes, Xiao Buyi came to his senses, "You're cheating on me!" ”

Pei Bei smiled proudly, "I thought there was another Chrissy, but it turned out that there was only one Meng Chen Xue in your heart?" I see. Well, don't deny it, you just said it yourself. Miss Mengdie seems to be thinking about you too, but she doesn't want us to see it...... It seems that Wan'er is the same, when she is fine, she is always used to saying something to her younger brother, saying that Brother Xiao is cold, whether he is wearing more clothes, saying that Brother Xiao is hot, but he should be careful of catching a cold at night, saying that Brother Xiao is wet in the south, and that Brother Xiao is dry in the north...... said that Brother Xiao was thinking about the great cause...... said that although Brother Xiao didn't say anything, his responsibility was heavier than anyone else...... said that Brother Xiao couldn't have fun with his younger brother often, just because he had more important things to do...... Say Brother Xiao...... Say Brother Xiao...... Brother Xiao ......"

When Pei Bei said this, she looked at Xiao Buyi with tenderness.

Xiao Buyi's heart shook slightly, and suddenly figured out a lot of things, although Wan'er would often talk to him, but Pei Bei used Wan'er's mouth to say what she thought. Of course, Wan'er is not at ease with him here, and she is not at ease there, why is Pei Bei not like this?

Her few soft exhalations were tactful and delicate, and she was full of breath, just like the whisper of Meng Chenxue when the grassland hugged him, Xiao Buyi understood a lot of things, Pei Bei had long been tender to him, but Meng Chenxue had already fallen in love with him that night and couldn't extricate himself...... Thinking of this, for some reason, his nose was slightly sour, Xiao Buyi only hated that he couldn't be separated in a few places, and he was deeply sorry.

The hall was full of silence, tenderness with longing, and thoughts mixed with honey...... "Brother Xiao, so many girls think about you, who do you think about more often?" Seeing Xiao Buyi's contemplation, Pei Bei diverted the topic and teased.

Xiao Buyi couldn't cry or laugh, she had never dealt with this kind of question, but she knew that many women liked to ask this kind of question, "I, I ......"

"Actually, I came out with you this time, I just want to help you." Pei Bei held Xiao Buyi's hand and said softly: "I think Sister Qiaoxi is a little lost, she keeps telling me that she can't help you, she is only afraid that you will dislike her." ”

Xiao Buyi sighed softly, "She really thinks too much, people in this world don't have to help each other to be together, I couldn't help you at the beginning, but I didn't see you dislike me." ”

"Not shy." Pei Bei reached out to scrape the bridge of Xiao Buyi's nose, "At the beginning, I wanted to leave you and run away alone, but I couldn't escape if I was seriously injured, and second, I couldn't let go because I had a mission, and then I wanted to leave you behind, but I couldn't let go of it anymore." ”

She said something casually, her words were scorching, and she couldn't question it, but she couldn't let go of the three words firmly, so that Xiao Buyi couldn't help but clench her hand again.

After not being with the assassin killer for a long time, Pei Bei was completely free from indifference, and in any case, there was no trace of a mustache on her body. Xiao Buyi held her hand, her hand was slender and smooth, and she couldn't see what deadly secret weapon could emit. Pei Bei held Xiao Buyi's hand tightly, maybe when Xiao Buyi rolled off the cliff with her in her arms, her heart was already as firm as it is now.

**

The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly there was a coughing sound outside the door, Xu Shiji walked in, and said with a smile: "Actually, I shouldn't come, but I still want to ask about something." ”

Xiao Buyi finally let go of his hand, slowly, and so did Pei Bei.

Xu Shiji looked at it and smiled bitterly, "I don't think you're afraid that I'm afraid of seeing your affection, but you just don't want to irritate me." ”

The two finally laughed, Xiao Buyi was full of spring breeze, Pei Bei laughed, her delicate nose was upturned, and her eyes were like crescents, "Shiji, you are such a jade tree in the wind, have you never thought of ......?"

"I only know that the Huns have not been destroyed, why should I be at home?" Xu Shiji sighed, "So far, I have achieved nothing, and I don't want to think about this kind of thing yet." Besides, I don't see the kind of woman I fell in love with at first sight. ”

There was a faint melancholy in his tone, Xiao Buyi and Pei Bei glanced at each other, and they all said, "Shiji, sit down." ”

Although there are few people around Xiao Buyi, they are all heart-to-heart, Xu Shiji sat down and looked at the two, his heart was also warm.

He is still full of ambition, and he still wants to seek fame in troubled times, but he is much happier now than before, no matter what, it is a pleasant thing to do things with people like Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi is better than Zhai Rang in many places, but what Xu Shiji admires the most is not his martial arts, nor his use of soldiers, but Xiao Buyi's ability to listen to what others say, understand what others say, and be able to speak widely and be good at accepting people's words, which makes Xu Shiji more playful.

This time the plan to take Xiangyang was that everyone made a plan in Runan, and Yuan Lan's connections played a very important role in it.

In fact, when Xu Shiji said that Xiao Buyi wanted to start from Xiangyang and plot the world, he still ignored one point, that is, Yuan Lan's heritage.

This can't be regarded as his ignorance, but he didn't know much about Xiao Buyi's power. The things that should be considered by him, these things have been thought about many times in the deep Jian Zhu by Xiao Buyi's side. Xiao Buyi also needs this effect, he has never used Xu Shiji, he only hopes that Xu Shiji can exert the greatest effect.

Xu Shiji understood that Xiao Buyi started when he went south to repair Chen Xuanhua's tomb, and then he abandoned Wagang, basically following Xiao Buyi's footsteps, from north to south, from south to north, and then to the south. But he still didn't expect that Xiao Buyi's power was far stronger than what he saw, at least Xiao Buyi's quasi-old man Yuan Lan was very powerful, which also surprised Xu Shiji.

There are seven richest surnames in Runan, and their financial resources are said to be strong in Runan and even in the surrounding areas, and they do not allow the Jiangnan Chinese. The Yuan family's strength is not the first among the seven surnames, and it is largely because Yuan Lan is very low-key. However, Xiangyang is not too far from Runan, and the counties around Runan are also very familiar in Yuan Lan's eyes.

Nowadays, the smoke is everywhere, bandits are rampant, and if the wealthy merchants of the various gate valve families do not want to rebel for the time being, they do not rely on the government, and most of them organize their own township groups to protect themselves, and everyone with the surname of the Yuan family and Runan is no exception.

The Yuan family quietly carefully selected the children of the Yuan family and sent them to Ma Yi to be trained by Li Jing, and this process was the same as selling horses and raising horses in a cottage, and it never stopped. Yuan Lan does things like him, and always produces results in silence.

Xiao Buyi's training of the Yuan family's soldiers was carried out in secret, and under Li Jing's training, the dragon was fierce and fierce. Li Jing uses soldiers like a god, but a big principle is that it is simple and easy to use, the Three Talent Array, the Six Flowers Array Xiao Buyi is also familiar now, but he is relieved to let Xu Shiji lead the Yuan family's disciples, which makes Xu Shiji die for him.

Although Yuan Lan's savings for Xiao Buyi are not yet majestic, the accumulated combat effectiveness is quite sophisticated and hard-working.

In the vicinity of Runan, Geyang, Yiyang, Huaiyang, Huai'an and other counties all have business dealings with the Yuan family, and all places are mixed with the power of the Yuan family, and the penetration of the seven families in Runan can be said to be ubiquitous in the surrounding counties.

After Xu Shiji understood the above, he immediately changed his mind and prepared to change from a forcible attack to a clever attack on Xiangyang City!

(To be continued)
