The sky is like the sea, the willows are like smoke, Xiao Buyi stood in front of Pei Bei, hearing her half ridiculed, half serious, the breeze was blowing, and it was difficult to calm down.

Pei Bei was silent when she saw him, and she waited quietly, no matter what, she always said what she thought in her heart, which was a problem she had always felt more distressed about.

If she is ice, then Yuan Qiaoxi is water, and if she is fire, then Yuan Qiaoxi is also water. The moment she saw Yuan Qiaoxi, she fell in love with this shy and gentle girl, although she was also a woman. But she didn't have the slightest hostility towards Yuan Qiaoxi.

"Qiaoxi always surrounds me on the left, asking you this, asking you that," Pei Bei said softly: "Although she is shy and can't say anything every time she sees you, I know that she really cares about you." She is your eldest brother, when you are a relative, and when you will accompany her for a lifetime, but she is always afraid, afraid that she is useless, in fact, she is too careful, and I, as a sister, naturally want to stand up for her. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Bei has somewhat recovered the style of the past, as if she wants to negotiate with Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "Belle, thank you for your generosity." To tell the truth, I have more pity for Qiaoxi, she is the kind of woman who makes you unbearable to hurt. But I also feel that it is unfair for me to accept her, and it is unfair to her to accept you, do you understand what I mean? ”

"I understand." Pei Bei nodded.

Xiao Buyi was a little puzzled, "You understand such a complicated issue so easily?" ”

Pei Bei laughed, "Brother Xiao, I think it's just that what you think is too complicated, I heard Miss Pei say that Tianji always has some strange thoughts, it seems that it is really true." Three wives and four concubines are normal for you, in fact, no matter what your identity is, I think your feelings for us will never change. Even if you get married, there are strangers, when I was a killer, I always thought about when I would die, but at this time, I was very glad to be able to choose a man I liked, that's all. ”

Xiao Buyi laughed, held Pei Bei's hand, suddenly coughed behind him, turned his head to look over, and found that Xu Shiji was not far away.

**

"Actually, I really don't want to bother you this time." Xu Shiji said helplessly.

"But you still bothered, I found out that your kid is a heart, and you can't see others as good." Xiao Buyi teased.

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly: "But I have been waiting behind you for a long time, this time it is not me looking for you, but your relatives coming to you, I don't want to make people wait for a long time, after all, you come to say that Fang Chang, but people are thousands of miles away just to see you." ”

Xiao Buyi's face was slightly happy, thinking that it was a copycat character, "Who is it?" ”

"Xiao Milling." Xu Shiji said simply and clearly.

"Xiao Milling?" Xiao Buyi frowned, "I haven't heard of it, wait, maybe it's my relative." ”

Seeing Xu Shiji and Pei Bei looking at him dumbly, Xiao Buyi could only explain: "Maybe five hundred years ago, the surname Xiao was a big family, by the way, what does this Xiao Mo do?" ”

Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Buyi suddenly said: "He is the county magistrate of Baling County, right?" ”

"It's the county order of Luo County, Baling County." Xu Shiji corrected.

Xiao Buyi's kung fu for a while, his thoughts were turning, and he tried his best to find out who Xiao Mo was in his impression, because he felt as if he had heard it. I thought it was a subconscious memory, but then I thought that I had heard Lin Shizhi talk about this person in the grassland. At that time, the businessmen thought that he had a backstage, so they mentioned the Xiao County Order of Baling County, but they didn't expect that he didn't know Xiao County Order, but he inexplicably became Queen Xiao's relative. I remember that Shen Yuankun said that this Xiao Milling County Commander is the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of Western Liang, and Xiao Buyi didn't understand the relationship between Xiao Milling and Empress Xiao for a while, but in essence, they were indeed related to each other.

Thinking about these relationships, Xiao Buyi asked, "What did he come to me for?" ”

Xu Shiji smiled and said: "Boss Xiao, you are now famous, and the surrounding counties are all worried, or ready to resist, or ready to surrender, how much can he do with a county order?" Now, is there any other reason than to fight for the opportunity to come over and hug your thighs and beg you to continue south? ”

**

When Xiao Buyi saw Xiao Miao, he found that they were worthy of being relatives, and they did look a little similar.

Xiao Milling's thighs are more similar to Xiao Buyi's waist!

A person can have such thick legs, he must not be lighter, Xiao Mo is a big fat man, which is beyond Xiao Buyi's expectations.

The belly was bulging, like a twin, the face was full of fat, although the two legs were thick, it looked like it was unbearable for the weight of his body, Xiao Mo sat on the chair, the chair creaked, and when he saw Xiao Buyi coming in, he hurriedly stood up, walked over tremblingly, and gave a deep salute, "Xiao Mo see General Xiao." ”

Xiao Buyi looked at his fat body, and felt that he was in his early thirties and less than forty, but because of his obesity, he looked even older. Xindao heard that Xiao Mian has been poor since he was a child, copying books for others for a living, why is he still so obese, is he a corrupt official?

It can be seen that people are polite, Xiao Buyi is also recruiting talents at this time, and said politely: "Xiao County Order, I have admired the name for a long time, and I didn't have the opportunity to visit for a while, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Xiao Mo raised his head, and his fat face was full of smiles, "General Xiao is really polite, you are busy with official business, you are worried about the people, I am already uneasy when I come to disturb you, how can I let you go to see me?" ”

"I still don't know what Xiao County Ling is looking for me?" Xiao Buyi finished politely and wanted to ask Ming Xiao Milling about his intentions.

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "I am actually the name of General Xiao who has been admired for a long time, when Lin Shizhi was in charge of the grassland turnaround, he had told me about General Xiao's heroic deeds, and at that time I had the name of General Xiao printed in my heart." Later, when I heard that General Xiao was the queen's nephew, I was overjoyed, thinking that the Xiao family had finally reproduced an outstanding character. But because of the humble officials, I can't go to the eastern capital to visit, and I am not talented, but I am actually the son and nephew of the queen's mother, so to speak......"

Xiao Mo wanted to speak and stopped, but Xiao Buyi said: "So you and I are really relatives?" ”

Xiao Miao's face was shining, I didn't know if it was sweat or oil, and said: "I know that I am far inferior to General Xiao, this relative ......"

"Of course, this kinship is true." Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "In any case, Xiao County's intention to rush from Baling to Xiangyang can be seen, and I am also proud to have a relative like Xiao County's Order." Xiao Xianling is tired, please sit down and talk. ”

Xiao Mo smiled on his face, "It should be, it should be." He followed Xiao Buyi's advice, sat down, and took a breath: "General Xiao ......"

Xiao Buyi waved his hand and said: "Actually, Xiao County's order is far older than me, and we are relatives, I, the general, am also a nominal person, and I have something to do with it, I'm afraid there will be trouble......

When he said this, he wanted to stop talking, obviously testing Xiao Miao, he was not a general for a long time, so as not to make Xiao Miao's wrong feelings and hug the wrong thigh.

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "What is the name of nothing, in my heart, in the hearts of the people, General Xiao is worthy of his name." I'm not afraid that I have anything to do with General Xiao now, but I'm afraid that you don't recognize me as a relative. ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "In this case, cousin shouldn't call me a general, it's better to call me Buyi." ”

Xiao Mo was overjoyed, and his heart was full of joy, "So good, Buyi, I'll call you a big name, in fact, I came here to see you for one thing, since Buyi is so kind, I will ask you for one more thing with a thick old face." ”

"If I can, I can do it." Xiao Buyi said beautifully, but he was pondering Xiao Mill's intentions.

Xiao Mo said earnestly: "I heard that after Buyi entered Xiangyang City, he re-issued the Juntian Order, and then implemented the rent modulation, and the people of Xiangyang County praised and cheered. As the county magistrate of Luo County, I have always been powerless about this, and I asked the captains of Baling County in private, and they all felt that if Buyi you entered Baling County again, it would definitely be a blessing for the people of Baling, and I asked Buyi to consider this matter for the sake of my sincere heart. ”

Xiao Buyi said in his heart, of course I want to be the master, the bigger the territory, the better, but it always has to be agreed by the Baling County Guard.

When he was hesitating, Xiao Mo seemed to see what was on his mind, and said with a smile: "Actually, I know that Buyi is known for his benevolence and righteousness, and this is exactly what the people are looking forward to." Most of the Baling lieutenants are familiar with me, Baling County Shou Tang You is old and mediocre, and now the thief Shen Liusheng is making trouble in the Baling area, although it is fierce, but after all, it is much worse than General Xiao, Buyi led the army to attack, of course, it can be captured in one fell swoop, with the support of everyone, this Baling County is not in the hands of Buyi? ”

What he said was quite obvious, when it contained the evil intention of rebellion, now that he has come from afar, it can be regarded as a sacrifice to take refuge, and he is full of expectations after speaking.

Xiao Buyi pondered for a long time before he said: "The big thief is really hateful, cousin, please rest assured, when the situation in Xiangyang is stabilized, I will definitely lead the troops to encircle and suppress, and ask my cousin to assist when the time comes." ”

Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed into a slit, "The people of Baling are looking forward to the arrival of Buyi!" I'll go back and prepare, and ask Buyi to come early to save the people of Baling from fire and water! ”

**

When the people of Baling were looking forward to Xiao Buyi, the people of Xingyang were also looking forward to the arrival of Zhang Xutuo.

The people of the world are already in dire straits, and there are more bandits in Xingyang County than it seems.

Many people can't wait for rescue, and directly join the ranks of bandits to save their lives, Xingyang County is already full of bandits!

Dozens of miles west of Xingyang City, nearly a thousand bandits turned around with their toes, bringing chickens, dogs, pigs and sheep, and making a lot of noise like the New Year.

Their New Year is obviously built on the pain of others, but they can't control it anymore. Following the rebellion to survive, big fish and meat, guarding the fields and being plundered, like being slaughtered lambs, many people chose to rebel and follow Wagang.

Although they all know that Zhang Xutuo will definitely come, but everyone is fed up with this kind of bitterness, the taxes of the government and the harassment of bandits must always be avoided.

Wei Liu'er was riding on a horse, wearing armor and holding a spear, but he was also majestic and proud.

He is also worthy of such pride, although after breaking through the counties of Xingyang County, he has received countless money and food from the government, but after all, most of them were collected by the head of Wagang, and armed with the most elite army to deal with the counterattack of the government.

He is now in Wagang, and he can be regarded as one of the top 100 people, because he took refuge at a very good time. Now Wagang is in urgent need of manpower, and those who come do not refuse, and Li Mi personally selects talents to train the Wagang army. He is not an internal army, but in Li Mi's eyes, he is still a talent, which makes Wei Liu'er very grateful.

Nearly 1,000 people are standing and walking, and Wei Liu'er is on the horse, this feeling can only be described in one word, cool!

But at the same time, he clenched the spear in his hand, and felt a breath of anger in his chest, and he didn't know who to vent to. As the name suggests, Wei Liuer is the sixth child at home, and every time Wei Liuer thinks of this, he wants to kill someone. He is now alone, without any worries, and his five brothers died cleanly. The eldest and second were requisitioned to dig a ditch at the beginning, and the bones were buried next to the canal not far away, this work was not done by people, and the people along the canal did not know how many died and how many tears were shed, so they dug up this deadly river, this river is not water, but the blood and tears of the dead people, and the ghosts of the river. Wei San'er died during the expedition to Liaodong, and the bones were not seen, but when Wei San'er's bones were not found, the Dog Emperor wanted to conquer Goryeo again, and the brothers refused to come out and fled to the west, and that period was really dark. In the end, Wei Si'er was killed by officers and soldiers as a thief, but Wei Wu'er was killed by a person named Xiao Buyi as a robber, and when he Wei Liu'er heard this, his tears had dried up.

Dog Emperor, Zhang Xutuo, Xiao Buyi, I won't let you go, you forced me...... Clenching the spear in his hand, Wei Liu'er poked the void a few times, with a cold smile on his face, thinking that the air is the enemy, if there is a chance this time, he must kill Zhang Xutuo, kill Xiao Buyi, and avenge his brother!

Thinking of this, Wei Liu'er looked up into the distance, crossed the hill in front of him, then waded across the plain, and walked for half a day, and he was almost to Xingyang City. This looting is very successful, Li Mi should praise himself, from the heart, he admires Li Mi more, disdain Zhai Rang, I heard that the capture of Jindi Pass, the attack on Xingyang City are Pushan Gong's idea, some companions said, see Li Mi has two corners on his head, the clouds above his head are seven colors, and they all say that it is the image of the Son of Heaven. Thinking of this, Wei Liu'er decided to hug this thigh and follow Li Michao, who will be the founder of the country in the future.

A cold wind blew, Wei Liu'er suddenly felt all over his body, a chill penetrated into the bone marrow, and a team of officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty appeared in front of him, guarding the intersection silently.

There were 1,000 officers and men, with bright armor, spears like a forest, and a dazzling cold light in the sun.

More than 1,000 officers and men stood there silently, and this in itself was a shocking thing.

The flag officer headed by the flag bearers held a big flag, the big flag hunted, and the sound of hula was only written with the word 'Zhang' written on it.

The bandit twitched uneasily, sweat flowed down Wei Liu'er's forehead, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching. Could it be ...... "Zhang Xutuo is here!" A terrible shout came from among the bandits, and more than a thousand bandits dispersed with a 'boom'!

Zhang Xutuo's three characters have great magic, and the thieves in Henan have long been frightened, and they have no courage to fight, so they scattered and fled for their lives.

This banner has such great magic! The horse neighed, Wei Liuer couldn't stop the horse, so he could only circle the horse and turn back.

Wei Liu'er has always been in the Eastern Hiding Province, and has never seen Zhang Xutuo, so he still wants to fight, and wants to go to Zhang Xutuo to avenge his brother, but now he only sees a flag, and he loses all his courage.

The bandits fled backwards in a hurry, and only after running far did they find to their horror that a group of officers and soldiers appeared in front of them, with the same spears, the same flags, and the same cold-blooded, standing ghostly behind them.

Before they could react, two groups of officers and soldiers from the left and right sides also came, closing into a phalanx and squeezing towards more than a thousand bandits.

All the officers and soldiers were on foot, but their steps were neat, and with each step, the distance was measured as if it were a ruler. The officers and soldiers marched in a phalanx, squeezing like four iron plates, and the sun was shrouded in murderous aura, pulling through the clouds to cover them, and they didn't want to look at it again.

Wei Liu'er was shocked and shouted: "Brothers, if you fight, if you don't fight, there will be no way to live." ”

He didn't dare to attack his front, and urged the horse to order everyone to kill the flanks of the officers and soldiers, wanting to fight his way out of the encirclement and fight a bloody road.

With a 'bang' sound, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side had stopped, and the officers and soldiers in the front row held shields and stuck them on the ground, and in an instant they had formed a copper wall and iron wall, but there was a little flash of light behind the copper wall, which was a little cold light emitted from spears, machetes, and feather arrows.

Some of the thieves stopped, their legs were weak, and some did not know the stakes, but they still rushed to the front, and before they got closer, there was a sound of 'whew', and the feather arrows were shot over, overwhelming, and a group of bandits who rushed to the front fell impressively.

Under the sun, blood blooms like flowers, and in the battle, life is as humble as mustard.

The blood mist was blurred, the thieves panicked, but they had not lost their minds, and fled to the side in terror, and the officers and soldiers on the opposite side also stopped, their shields poked the ground, and they were ready for battle, ruthless.

More blood gushed out, more bandits fell, but the phalanx of the Sui army stood still, and nearly a thousand bandits attacked, unable to move a single cent of the Sui army's shape.

Wei Liu'er was already red-eyed, and in an instant, he had already rushed to all sides, but all four sides were as hard as mountain rocks, and nearly a thousand bandits had already lost most of them. Wei Liu'er felt like a trapped beast in a cage, there were cold shields, cold bows and arrows, and cold spears everywhere, he was full of blood, but no one was against him.

"Follow me." Wei Liu'er gritted his teeth and urged the horse, rushing in the direction of Xingyang City, whether he could survive the last fight here.

The horse urged up, very fast, Wei Liu'er crouched down, braving the rain of arrows, and saw that he was about to reach the officers and soldiers on the opposite side. There was another 'whew', a little cold light flashed in the iron wall, Wei Liu'er only felt that several places on his body were cold at the same time, and hot things flowed out, and he was in great pain in an instant, and there was a scream behind him, I don't know how many arrows he was hit by and how many of his subordinates died, but he finally arrived before the Sui soldiers! The horse neighed, jumped over with long arrows, and jumped over with his habitual surname, and behind the iron wall, more than a dozen spears pierced out, hitting Wei Liu'er's body, putting him alive in the air, blood bursting out, spraying onto the shield!

Wei Liu'er was covered in blood, the person was stiff in the air, and he looked at the past with difficulty, only then did he see that there were countless spears and short knives waiting behind the shield, but he no longer felt cold and frightened at this moment.

The spear was withdrawn, Wei Liu'er fell to the dust like a dead dog, rolled down on the ground, looked up at the sky, and felt that the sun turned blood-red, and it was dark in an instant, Wei Liu'er's last thought was that his grandmother's, Lao Tzu died, and he didn't see Zhang Xutuo and Xiao Buyi!

**

"Who is powerful, Xiao Buyi or Zhang Xutuo?"

"Of course it's Zhang Xutuo, Zhang Xutuo has gone through hundreds of battles since joining the army, and he has never lost a single one."

"I haven't heard that Xiao Buyi has lost."

"But how many battles has Xiao Buyi fought?"

"I only know that he defeated your Wagang and almost uprooted your Wagang, if it weren't for Pushan Gong bringing righteous people to rescue, Wagang would not be the original Wagang again."

"What do you say? Who do you listen to? One person stood up, furious.

"You don't care who I listen to, I'm telling the truth." The other man stood up and said slowly.

It was Bing Yuanzhen who was furious, but it was Zheng Detao who spoke slowly.

These two people originally had nothing to do with each other. Bing Yuanzhen is one of the Five Tigers of Wagang, and Zheng Detao was originally Lishanfei's subordinate, but now they are all the same.

Needless to say, the five tigers of Wagang were defeated by Xiao Buyi in the first battle, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and now only Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen are left among the five tigers. After Li Mi conquered Jindi Pass, his prestige was greatly boosted, and he approached Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagang, although Li Mi was low-key, but most of the people from nearby counties came to run for Li Mi, not Zhai Rang. Now it is rumored that Li Mi is the true son of heaven, and in response to the words of Tao Lizi, everyone wants to follow Li Mi as a founding hero. Li Mi was quite enthusiastic about the people who came to take refuge, and he couldn't help but snub the original Wagang veteran. Bing Yuan really didn't like Li Mi, and saw that Zhai Rang was submissive, and repeatedly tolerated Li Mi, and in a fit of anger, he led his troops to the west of Xingyang City.

Zheng Detao is different from Bing Yuanzhen, he is now a faction that Li Mi has wooed, because Li Mi knows that his foundation is still shallow, and he can only count on the support of newcomers, and the original Wagang people have deep feelings for Zhai Rang after all. At the beginning, Lishan Fei first provoked Pei Mingcui because he killed Li Xuanba, and then he was attacked by Xiao Buyi, not only worshiped his eldest brother Wang Xuba and died, but he was also panicked, and he was defeated in Taiyuan, and fled from Shanxi to Hebei, Zheng Detao offered two plans in Taiyuan, resulting in the defeat of Lishan Fei's army, of course, he was terrified, and he was always worried that Lishan Fei had beheaded himself, and he saw that Lishan Fei was not as good as a day, just when Wagang was recruiting troops and buying horses, he ran over and followed.

In the troubled times, there is no loyalty at all, who is strong with whom, who can let the brothers live with whom, Zheng Detao's move is understandable, but after arriving in Wagang, he realized the delicate situation in Wagang, and followed Li Mi with an iron heart, and it was inevitable that he would be a little disrespectful to Bing Yuanzhen.

The two of them spoke fiercely, and Bing Yuanzhen sneered, "Although Wagang was defeated by Xiao Buyi, but Lishan Fei's original army of tens of thousands was broken by Xiao Buyi with 5,000 soldiers, and it seems that there is also the credit of Detao." ”

Zheng Detao didn't care, and said lightly: "Otherwise, how can I say that Xiao Buyi is more powerful." ”

"But don't you forget, according to the bandits from the south, Zhang Xutuo has beaten Xiao Buyi and fled, Xiao Buyi is powerful, why can't he beat Zhang Xutuo?"

Zheng Detao smiled and said: "Don't forget, Xiao Buyi just escaped, not dead, Xiao Buyi's two fists are invincible with four hands, but forbearance, to give Xiao Buyi a few years of hard work, Zhang Xutuo may not be able to beat him." If there really is a choice, I would rather be the opponent Zhang Xutuo than Xiao Buyi! ”

Bing Yuanzhen sneered: "That's because you haven't seen Zhang Xutuo!" ”

"Report, Zhang Xutuo's vanguard army has been killed." A bandit rushed to the camp to make a report, full of panic.

Bing Yuan was really shocked, "Zhang Xutuo is here?" Go, go! ”

He hurriedly went out of the account, Zheng Detao followed closely, and saw that there were only hundreds of horsemen in the distance. Bing Yuanzhen didn't care, he still had to flee for his life, Zheng Detao looked up to the sky and smiled, "Why is Yuan Zhen so courageless, watch me lead the troops to break it." ”

Bing Yuanzhen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled, "Since that's the case, then it's better to see Detao break Zhang Xutuo." ”

Zheng Detao said in his heart Bing Yuan is really too timid, now is an opportunity, the other party is not many people, but there are many horses, he took it himself, and he has to make a great contribution in front of Li Mi, thinking of this, he is hot-headed, and he has gathered more than 2,000 soldiers under his command, shouted loudly, and rushed out in a hurry.

He also has dozens of horsemen here, although the cavalry is invincible, but he is afraid that there are many thieves, and he coaxes up, and the other party's hundreds of horsemen are originally violent, and when they see thousands of thieves, they all show a panicked look, and they hold the horse's head and turn around. Zheng Detao was unforgiving, led the troops to pursue, and did not forgive, and waited until he rushed out of a section of the road, and found that the other party reined in again, Zheng Detao only felt a cold current surging all over his body, I don't know when, countless infantry had appeared on both wings, and quickly blocked his way back, densely pressed up!

Zheng Detao fell into the same situation as Wei Liu'er in an instant, rushing left and right, unable to break out of the encirclement.

When he looked back, he found that the yellow dust was rolling in the distance, and Bing Yuanzhen had already led people to flee for his life, Zheng Detao shouted: "Bing Yuanzhen, you guts rat, abandon me!" Zhang Xutuo, if you are a hero, come and fight me! ”

The answer to him was the flying locust long arrow, the cold light sharp spear, Zheng Detao was injured in dozens of places in an instant, he was pierced like a hedgehog, he fell off the horse, and when his eyes were black, he just thought, if I have another choice, I don't want to see Xiao Buyi, let alone Zhang Xutuo!

It's a pity that there is only one choice, the opportunity will not come again, Zheng Detao is dead! The Sui soldiers dispersed, remained silent, and continued to kill in the direction of Xingyang City, with boundless killing intent in silence......

(To be continued)
