It wasn't until Wu Chu woke him up that he realized that it was already the middle of the moon, and the stars were Zhaozhao.

Wu Chu has returned to normal, with a slim white face, eyes like stars, and a few silver strands on his temples, which shows his extraordinary demeanor and majestic spirit. Although Xu Ruyu is riddled with evil diseases and has a tired face, his hair is hanging down, his face is jade, his eyes are smart, and he has another graceful bearing. Seeing that he was pondering for a long time, Wu Chu asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Xu Ruyu thought for a moment and said truthfully.

After hearing this, Wu Chu's face sank, he snorted coldly, and said "Same as your dead ghost" and turned to look at the heart of the river.

Xu Ruyu knew that the "dead ghost" in Wu Chu's words referred to his father, but he seemed to be angry when he heard his words, and he was a little puzzled in his heart. His father had no quarrel with the world until Bayang suffered a catastrophe, and it was rare to hear who he had a grudge with. He asked, "Do you know my father?" ”

Wu Chu turned around, his face was really angry, and said: "Five years ago, I asked him to plot to seize Qingzhou for me, but he refused and persuaded me to stop and return to the mountain. ”

Xu Ruyu thought to himself, you are already famous, and your father will naturally not agree. Even when you just escaped from Boling, your father saw that you were completely blinded by hatred, and he would not pay attention to you. I thought about it, but I didn't say it on my face, and continued to listen to Wu Chu say: "I think if he promised me back then, why would he come to the disaster under Bayang City?" Don't think that the enemy will not know your father, it is because he is familiar with your father's ability that he will make up his mind to slaughter everyone. ”

When he first heard this, Xu Ruyu was shocked, but Wu Chu ignored him and continued: "Don't use it for me, and don't fall into the hands of others, this has always been the style of the children of the Yi family. It's just that your father is the head of the six handsome, and he has a lot of friends in the world. Kill them openly and make enemies against the world. With such a good opportunity under Bayang City, how could Yi Hanwen miss it? ”

"What, you said that the name of the man who killed my father was Ihanwen?" Xu Ruyu grabbed the table with his hand, leaned forward, stared at Wu Chu with fire in his eyes, and didn't notice that his nails were pierced into the flesh, but without waiting for Wu Chu to answer, he sat back in the chair and said weakly: "My father knew who he was at the time, but he didn't say it, and he didn't let me have to take revenge, because he didn't want me to be blinded by hatred." Besides, how can I take revenge now? ”

"Pedantic. I think your father planned Qingzhou for me back then, and then Tuluo Yixing and Baishi, maybe Yongning has been laid down now, and Zhang Dong may have become a white bone. I have revenge, and the two governments will not be warned for a long time. I think that although I have repeatedly led troops to invade the two provinces, I have no power to restrain Zhang Dong and invade Zhongliu to the west. Although I am prosperous for the sake of disaster, I have benefited Zhongliu, and the matter can still be generalized? ”

Xu Ru knew that his heart was blinded, and defended himself, but he had no way to refute it. My father often said that if you can't convince yourself, how can you say that you are deceived. The surname Suo was silent, and his face became more and more pale.

"I miss your father, the head of the six handsome, because of the dedication of ten articles in Southern Fujian, within three years, he was pacified as a hundred years of Liuqiu banditry, famous all over the world, and he retired. But what does it say, 'The world's heroes, there is no one who thinks for the world', is not a family, nor is it attached to the heroic. Living in seclusion in Xinghua, Qingzhou, he has always been jealous of the Yi family, and finally suffered a strange disaster. Isn't that pedantic? ”

What Wu Chu said about the Liuqiu bandits, Xu Ruyu knows. It was the winter of the twenty-sixth year of the New Dynasty, Xu Xing traveled south to Fujian, coinciding with the Liuqiu bandits to loot Zhangtai, miserable, and angrily went to see Wang Zongzhengqi of Nanmin County at that time, and presented "Ten Chens of Absolute Ryukyu Bandits", known as the Ten Strategies of Bandits, including the border people who migrated internally; ban on fishing, ferrying, and commerce; Repair the return pavilion to appease the bandits; building ships, rectifying sailors; Tie up the beacon to the police and bandits; Yu Yaojin built Yi'an Fort and other ten strategies. It only took three years to calm down the Ryukyu bandits that had plagued for nearly a hundred years. Banditping, Zong Zhengqi included Liuqiu Island in Nanmin County, set up Fengzhu Mansion, under the jurisdiction of Fengzhu, Shanbei, Tianling, Pingding Siyi, Fengzhu Mansion appointed his father, and allowed his father to organize his own tribe and open a clan. Xu Xing did not accept it, and lived in seclusion in Xinghua Mansion, Qingzhou County, which is important in the world.

"Thirty-five years, your father was invited by Wanling Chen Ang to preside over the military administration of Donghai County, dedicated a thousand words of "Donghai Salt Policy", and recommended the Donglin Society, the first gang of Dajiang, to enter the East China Sea to preside over salt affairs. The East China Sea was able to gather all the efforts of the Puji pirates, and the Puji pirates disappeared in the East China Sea in the next five years. It is rumored in the world: Those who get six handsome can lead to the world. ”

Xu Ru was proud, although Wu Chu disdained his father's hidden style, but he did not hide his admiration between his words. In the 35th year of the new dynasty, he was still in his infancy, and the three major families of the East China Sea operated their own salt business, which was sold to the northwest counties through the waterways of Dajiang, Huaishui, and Jinshui. However, the princes did not want the East China Sea to take advantage of the profits of salt trafficking, and connived at the bandits in the territory to harass the salt ships. Every time the three tribes of the East China Sea transport salt, they are heavily guarded, and the cost is very large, and the benefits of salt are lost through this discount, and there is little gain. At that time, the great thief Gongliang Youqin rose on Puji Chain Island, and wanted to find a foothold on land, so he divided his troops to attack the East China Sea and Yue County. Gongliang Youqin was the head of the remnants of the old dynasty, and he did not want to nominally belong to the new dynasty, so he occupied the island and became a bandit, wantonly raiding the economy of the two counties and killing at will. This was originally a family hegemony that was staged every day on the mainland, but my father originally intended to ignore it. However, his godfather and father have been friends since childhood, and agreed with the rest of the second family that "bandits are peaceful, they are at peace in the East China Sea, they support one side, and they do not fight for hegemony in the world." My father then went out of the mountain again and presented the "Donghai Salt Policy", recommending the Donglin Association to preside over the salt affairs of Donghai County, and the Donghai County family only drew twelve salt taxes from it. Repair the battleship in Yongyang, choke the estuary of the river, and in the Huaishui estuary Pingcheng, repair the harbor, build ships, build high fortresses, garrison elite soldiers inside, resist sea bandits, and protect the sea road. At this time, the Yongyang Navy, which had been extinct for more than 50 years due to bandits in the East China Sea, was reopened. Baekje Liangma Jingtie reappeared in the Central Plains through Yongyang Hainan Airlines, and Donghae County controlled the trade routes, and the trade was prosperous, and the commercial tax received was several times that of the salt matter, and its strength increased greatly. Gongliang Youqin saw that the East China Sea was unthinkable, and after losing his troops, he reconciled with the three clans of the East China Sea and tried his best to cross the county. Since then, with the mouth of the river as the boundary, bandits to the north are absolutely avoidable, and Yongyang has gradually gained the momentum of the world's largest city because of the benefits of trade.

"The East China Sea is peaceful, Chen Ang and your father agreed that from now on they will be in a corner and will not seek the world. But I don't know that this is the most stupid idea in the world. Nowadays, the mountains and rivers, the inner court is in vain, the heroes are competing side by side, outside the Central Plains, there are Hulan people in the north to covet, and the ten countries in the west are not at ease, which is the situation of the world. The mud and sand are all down, not advancing but retreating. I think my Wu people have lived in Boling for generations, and they don't compete with the world's heroes, but they can't tolerate Zhang Dong. Although Chen Ang's martial arts are the best in the southeast, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of male ships in the East China Sea, Yizhouwu in Qingzhou in the north of the East China Sea, and Yongning Zhang Dong and Xu Bodang in the west are all tigers and wolves. The Yum Hero Division comes from the battle, and only the battlefield can train elite soldiers. Within a few years, although Donghai County was rich and invincible, its military strength was the weakest among the five counties in Hedong, and it was not for others to fatten themselves at that time. If Yi Zhouwu gets Yixing, Baishifu, or Zhang Dong to control Zhongliushuishi, Donghai County will be in danger. ”

"However, with your father's ability, he must have already seen the situation in the world. He must see that although the Yi family sits in a county in Qingzhou, there are many internal factional contradictions, and although the eldest son Yi Hanwen has an unborn talent, he is not a descendant and does not list the family tree. The son-in-law Yi Chongwu was brutal, and he was not liked by Yi Zhouwu's brother Yi Shide. Qingzhou is one on the surface, but in fact it is two. Zhang Dong started from Yixing and Baishi, and prospered in Jiangjin, but his strength also came here, and for several years, I led 4,000 ghost horsemen to invade Yixing and Baishi, so that he was unable to take Zhongliu. The Yuejun family has always been weak and not afraid. The Huo family in Jinyang is strong, but its mountains and mausoleums are vertical and horizontal, and they are not accustomed to riding battles, and Yongning is a fence, and the whip is not as long as the East China Sea. But the world is changing, can things still be as your father envisioned? Only by forging ahead, strategizing the world, and chasing the Central Plains can we grasp everything in our own hands. ”

Father once talked about the world, Xu Ruyu silently recalled.

The new dynasty had just been founded, and the Yu Yuan family of the old dynasty had to help the Rong family retreat to Nanping. Since then, the old families in the southeast have been attached to the new dynasty, and the world has been peaceful. The Rong family, a relative of the old dynasty, rose up in Nanping, and once expelled millions of indigenous residents of Nanping County, Sanmiao, to Lingnan. Sanmiao defected to the Le'an Yue family, and the Yue family then dominated Nanning County. At the beginning of the new dynasty, the head of the Yue family Yue Feixue, seeing that the world is not desirable, so he dedicated a book to the minister, and was named the king of Nanning Xuanzheng County. Nanning was thus pacified.

The old family of Nanmin County, Zongzheng family, followed by the nominal new dynasty and was crowned the king of Nanmin Qinde County. In the southwest of Nanping County, over the Qianshan Mountain, which is thousands of zhang high, it reaches Nanzhao County, which is divided by six feudal states, but far from the hinterland of the Central Plains, no matter how lively the fighting is, it can rarely interfere in the situation in the Central Plains. To the south of Nanning County, Qiongzhou Island faces it across the sea. Qiongzhou Mansion was originally subordinate to Nanning County. At the beginning of the new dynasty, among the several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, there were Liuqiu bandits in Nanmin County, and the six countries of Nanzhao were conquered year after year, and they have not been stopped so far; Nanping County, the people of the old dynasty took refuge, but Nanning County was under the painstaking management of Yue Feixue, and there were neither internal worries nor external troubles. In order to thin down the power of the Yue family in Nanning County, the general of Fengyi at that time should benefit south of Qiongzhou. Therefore, Qiongzhou is isolated outside Nanning County and has its own system.

The above is the land of the four souths and one government.

To the north of Nanmin County, for Yue County, to Fan, Zhu two families are powerful, they are the southeast of the local clan, in the Wuyue Lake and Marsh land deep-rooted, the rest of the small family attached, the two generations fought against each other, until the Puji bandits invaded Yue County, the two families were forced to form an alliance due to the situation. Gongliang Youqin, the remnant of the old dynasty, occupied Puji Chain Island, in the spring of the 36th year of the new dynasty, invaded Yue County, captured Dayi Wenling, coolie management, and the power penetrated directly into Jinhua Mansion, which was the third force rising in the land of Wuyue. To the north of Yue County, across the river, is Donghai County. Donghai County formed an alliance with the Wanling Chen family, the Yongyang Mei family, and the Tairu Xi family to resist foreign enemies. To the north of Donghai County, Qingzhou County, the Yi family is a sophisticated family, and before the new dynasty was established, the Yi people raised troops and embraced it, so it was more entrenched in the new dynasty. To the west of Donghai County, it is the old county of Yongning, and the Yixing Zhang family dominates it according to Jiangjin. To the west and south of Yongning, it is the old county of Jingchu, the new dynasty was founded, divided and ruled, south of the river, for Jing County, and the meritorious soldiers were divided here, which was intended to let these new dynasty relatives and nobles take a peek at the old clan power of Nanping County. However, the contradictions between the nouveau riche and the old nobles were acute and difficult to reconcile, and the merger and dispute between the new nouveau riche and the old clan was more intense than in other places. To the west of Nanping County, the Great River traces up along the Three Gorges and is Chengdu-Chongqing County. The Luo family in Rongcheng operates tea horses, and the Wujia in Yuzhou burns chimneys to make salt, both of which are wealthy in Chengdu and Chongqing, and there are indigenous residents of Xi, Miao and Di.

The above are the six counties of the family, controlling the north and south of the river, and the name is attached to the court, but they do not listen to the propaganda and herd their land.

To the west of Yongning County, northwest of Jing County, across the river from Jing County, is Jinyang County. To the north of Qingzhou County, it is Youji County, Youji County looks at the sea in the east, and the long river runs through it. To the west of Youji, north of Yongning, is Fen County. Jinshui and Changhe rivers flow through it and converge in Jining. To the west of Fen County and north of Jinyang, it is Qinzhou County, and the capital of the new dynasty is in Xijing. Xijing, Jining, Jiangjin and Rongcheng are collectively known as the four capitals. To the west of Qinzhou County, Chengdu-Chongqing County passes through the plank road to the north, which is Suchuan County.

The above are the five counties of the New Dynasty. The establishment of the new dynasty has a great relationship with these five county families. Or for the old, or for the relatives, are all with the establishment of the new dynasty and rise of the emerging family, among which the Youji Wangyi Cai family, Jinyang Huailai Huo family, Fenjun Jining Xun family, Suchuan Yinzhou Gu family as the show, known as the new dynasty four families.

In addition, Baekje, Bohai, Hulan, Mobei, and Xichen are known as the Heavenly Domain, or the Five Regions of the Peerless Domain, and the alien Qianghu live.

Xu Ruyu heard Wu Chu reprimand his father, but his face showed envy, and he remembered what his father said and did in his heart, and he yearned for it. I thought: I don't know who the other five Jun refers to, but I think of the celebrity Yishi who traveled the world with his father and made friends. Since he was a child, his father talked about his mother, his face was full of affection, and he would never tire of saying how gentle and kind his mother was, but he never mentioned his mother's family affairs, and he had never seen his grandfather since he was a child. Is it the same as his father, lonely since childhood? The man in front of him knows a lot about his father, and he may know. However, when he first talked about his father, he was angry. If I ask him and he speaks disrespectfully, I can't do anything about him. It's better not to ask. Thinking that he might not know, he immediately put down this thought and turned to other questions.

When Wu Chu saw him thoughtful, he knew that he was not easy to be persuaded by himself. With a narrow gaze, he sighed secretly, and said: Five years ago, I went to ask Xu Xing to plot against Qingzhou, but he was refused, although he never said much to him, but the resentment in his heart was hard to disappear. The words seemed to be heard by the young child in front of him, but it was more like he was arguing with Xu Xing through him.

Listening to the singing of the painting boat, Wu Chu felt a little, thinking that he was the enemy of the Xue family, and he was willing to be driven by Yi Zhouwu, and practiced more than 3,000 ghost riders in Qingzhou, and invaded Yixing at night to relieve the danger in the southwest. However, the ghost rider is the army of tigers and wolves, and where they attack, they kill and plunder, which is no different from bandits. In the land of two mansions and eight towns, ten households go to nine of them. When Xu Xing saw me, he opened his mouth and said: The name of the murderer has been revealed. However, only in this way can the hatred in my heart be put to rest. Yi Zhouwu claimed to have mastered the two techniques of Qinghe Chong Formation and Biluoge, so he conspired with Zhang Dong and Xu Bodang to trap me in the realm of today.

When Wu Chu thought of this, although his heart was not easy, he felt a trace of remorse for what he had done in the past for the first time.
