On the official road, a convoy moved forward slowly.

Five wagons, carrying some luggage and belongings, look like small-scale migrations.

More than a dozen servants and guards sat in front of the car or walked with the car.

The focus of the guards was on a carriage in the center of the procession, and it was a hot summer day, and the curtain of the carriage was raised. Looking from afar, you can see two people sitting inside, a white-faced scholar in his thirties, and a child of seven or eight years old.

An old servant walked quickly to the carriage and said, "Master, we have entered the border of Bajun. ”

The scholar nodded, "I see, Fauber." ”

"No."

Fauber retreated, but the young man sighed.

He is not a native of Yizhou, he was originally from Yin Yanshi County, Henan, and his father went to Yizhou to be an official, and the whole family followed. Later, his father died in a foreign land, and the world was in turmoil, and he and his family had to stay in Yizhou. This time, his family moved away from the prosperous western part of Yizhou, which was not his wish, but a last resort.

Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to move west, Luoyang City was scorched, and his hometown Yin in Henan had already become dilapidated. Although he wanted to go back, he also knew that Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung princes were always in a tense confrontation, and the security issue could not be ignored. What's more, the northern gateway from Yizhou to Sili is now occupied by Zhang Lu, and Wudoumi is in charge, and even the imperial court envoys can't get through, how can they go back?

Since you can't go back, the wisest thing to do is to stay in Yizhou with peace of mind.

With what he has learned, if he is willing to work for Liu Yan, it is not difficult to find an official position.

And yet he couldn't.

He had already made a vow that he would never serve Liu Yan.

His name was Biaoyi, and he was the son of Biao Jian.

However, he spent money to buy the position of Yizhou Assassin, and after taking office, he expropriated and extorted money, embezzled and looted the people's fat and ointment, and his notoriety spread far and wide, and even spread to Luoyang. So the imperial court appointed Liu Yan as the envoy of Yizhou's pastor and supervising the army, and went to Yizhou to set things right, and by the way, he was guilty of being frugal. Before Liu Yan entered Yizhou to take office, Ma Xiang rebelled, attacked Yuxian County and killed Zhu Jian, Liu Yan did not have the opportunity to punish the crime, but Yizhou knew about it.

But he is thrifty and incompetent, corrupt, and unforgivable, but after all, he is the father of Yiyi.

But he has to work for Liu Yan, who is preparing to kill his father, unless the sun comes out in the west.

In history, it is true that Liu Yan and Liu Zhang have never been father and son, and Liu Bei only came out to be an official after he entered Shu.

couldn't return to his hometown, and he didn't want to work for Liu Yan, but he had to plan early.

He doesn't have many options.

Liu Yan is a pastor of Yizhou, with absolute jurisdiction over the military and political affairs of Yizhou, and the turmoil caused by the Yinan Yimin rebellion led to a major reshuffle in Yizhou's political arena, and Liu Yan easily controlled almost all areas of Yizhou in his own hands. With the exception of Hanzhong and Ba County, all places were close to Liu Yan's forces.

Hanzhong is the base camp of five buckets of rice, and he clearly disobeys the orders of the imperial court, but he has no intention of being a thief.

So he can only come to Ba County.

Bajun Taishou Zhao is the only remaining Taishou who has been in power since the time of Jian Jian.

However, he knew that Zhao Bu had been having a hard time recently, and he was forced to the edge of the cliff by Liu Yan, and it looked like he might fall down at any time, but he had no better choice. It is already a miracle that Zhao Ministry's hard work is still standing, and with Yuan Shao, the head of the Guanasean Association, expressing support for Zhao Ministry, the miracle is likely to continue.

The situation is chaotic, but I can't see what will happen in the future.

He could only pray that Zhao Bu could continue to hold on, otherwise, there would be no place for the Yizhou clan.

If so, where do we go from here?

While thinking about it, the young boy suddenly said, "Father, there is something unknown about the child. ”

But a touch of love appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Let's say." ”

The young boy said: "The eldest father (called grandfather in ancient times, referring to frugality) has been killed for three years, why did he move at this time?" ”

However, after the death of Jian, he took his family to live in Mianzhu, although he did not become a leader, but his family was quite rich, but the wealth he looted was not a small amount, which was enough for future generations to live a life of fine clothes and food. Liu Yan knew that the descendants of the family were in Mianzhu, but the family was dead, and he did not mean to pursue the family. However, the sudden decision to move to Ba County seemed too hasty and unnecessary to the child.

The seven or eight-year-old child asked questions, but he was not perfunctory, but communicated with his son very seriously.

The child has been smart since childhood, but he pinned his hopes for reviving the family on this child.

"Do you know that Liu Junlang (Liu Yanzi) wants to change the officials of Ba County?"

"The child knows."

"You know that Mrs. Zhao has Yuan Benchu's help, and he is trying his best to maintain it."

"The child knows."

"Liu Junlang can't take Zhao Taishou for a while, do you know about killing people and establishing authority?"

The child was surprised: "The state pastor has always shown kindness and righteousness, how can he kill people and establish authority?" ”

But he sighed lightly: "This time, that time." ”

Murder is a recent thing.

When he first entered Yizhou, he faced a rebellion and needed to buy people's hearts, Liu Yan showed his kindness and righteousness, and now he has a firm foothold in Yizhou, and he no longer has so many scruples. In particular, he secretly instructed Zhang Lu to kill Zhang Xiu and hold Hanzhong, and the trend of Yizhou secession has been completed, and Liu Yan began to show his iron-blooded and ruthless side, speeding up the elimination of dissidents.

There are many ethnic minorities in Yizhou, the culture and technology are relatively weak, and the powerful families have their own monopoly on the population in Shu, as long as they are not openly rebelling against the government, no one will want to go deep into management, which is a practice formed over the years. But Liu Yan entered Shu with the goal of doing the emperor's business, no more than those previous Yizhou officials, he wanted to put Yizhou absolutely under his control, rather than letting the local wealthy families sit big.

The power of the wealthy family in Yizhou is huge, some people show goodwill to the state capital, and some people look on coldly.

The official position is at that point, many wealthy families are vying, and there will always be people who can't get into the wish, so it's better to be free. Moreover, the local wealthy family did not know Liu Yan's ambitions at all, and judged Liu Yan by the style of officials in the past, thinking that as long as he rebelled unknowingly, there would be no trouble in despising the government, so he went his own way.

The result of the misjudgment was that when Liu Yan waved the butcher knife, everyone was caught off guard.

The first knife after entering Shu, Liu Yan slashed at Bajun Haoqiang.

Ba County was the only county that the state capital did not actually control, and many local wealthy families sided with the Zhao Dynasty.

Zhao was supported by Yuan Shao and Zhu Jun, and it was difficult to take it for a while, but Liu Yan was the state pastor, and he had the right to kill and seize in Yizhou. As long as there is a slightly reasonable reason, the state government will investigate and deal with it, and there is no way to stop the Ba County Taishou Mansion, and Yuan Shao's envoy is negotiating with the Yizhou Mansion, and Zhao Bu can still hope to resolve the dispute peacefully, at least at this time, it will not be strong for some places and fight with the state government.

More than ten days ago, the Yizhou government used the excuse to kill more than ten people surnamed Wang Xian and Li Quan in Ba County.

The Ba people have a strong temperament, a very strong family concept, and many families have intermarriages, and since then they have a deep hatred for Liu Yan.

Many people only think that Liu Yan's move is to attack Zhao Bu, but they see that it is not so simple.

He was uneasy.

Liu Yan is so ruthless to Bajun Haoqiang, it can be seen that he is not a generous person, he can cut the first knife, and naturally he can also cut the second knife. Liu Yan can't tolerate Zhao, but Jian used to be the assassin of Yizhou, and no one can say that Liu Yanrong will not be able to descend from the Di family. You must know that the reputation of the officialdom is very bad and he is burdened with a huge infamy, if Liu Yan proposes to investigate the responsibility of the Jianjian corruption and confiscate the family property, no one will say a word.

That's why he decided to move.

If you can't get through Hanzhong, then go in the direction of Bajun, and you can't stay in the area controlled by Liu Yan anyway.

The toddler became more and more uneasy as he heard the explanation.

"Father, Zhao Taishou is difficult to protect himself, and now he is going to run, and his future is worrying. If the state government uses the investigation of the father's past as an excuse to force Zhao Taishou to hand it over to us, Zhao Taishou will not dare to disobey, and Bajun Haoqiang is a lesson from the past. In this case, won't we throw ourselves into the tiger's mouth? ”

But he was shocked and shocked: "If you don't go to Jiangzhou, where can you go?" ”

"Ba County is a big county in Yizhou, there are many places to go, find a remote place to live in seclusion to avoid disasters, or go to a place that will not be easily coerced by the government, no matter how bad it is, you can avoid Jingzhou."

But silently.

However, the family is very well-off and accustomed to a prosperous life, and seclusion will not be an option unless it is absolutely necessary; As for avoiding Jingzhou, even Luoyang knows the name of the thrifty corrupt official, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is also a member of the Han family, who dares to say that Liu Biao will not use the topic to play the account after the autumn? After thinking about it, it is best to find a place where you will not be easily coerced by the government.

Where can they be accepted without fear of government pressure?

More than a dozen leaders of the big wealthy clan, Liu Yan said that he would kill them, and the wealthy clan would definitely not be able to count on them......

But a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: player territory!

The player's territory is a very special group, nominally bound by the government, but this restriction is more of a symbol. The normal obligation of the territory is to pay taxes to the government, and its development direction, military strength, and internal policy are all determined by itself, and the government cannot dictate the player's territory. Even in a national campaign, the player's territory blatantly rebelled against the Imperial Court, and was always pardoned by the Imperial Court afterwards.

Settle in the player's territory, although there will be some restrictions, but there is no need to worry about being liquidated by the state government!

Come to think of it, it's safest to invest in the player's territory.

"Stop!"

The carriage soon stopped.

Fauber hurriedly came over and asked, "Master, why did you stop?" ”

"We're not going to Jiangzhou anymore."

Fu Bo was inexplicable: "Don't go to Jiangzhou?" ”

But he nodded: "Well, what territory in Ba County is more rich and powerful?" ”

Before Fauber could speak, the young boy rushed and said, "The child knows ......"

When the carriage carrying the people of the Qi clan was rerouted, Zhulu Ling ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

Late at night, windy, and crescent like a hook.

It was pitch black, the torches swaying in the wind, and the light of the fire flickered and dimmed.

Wuliang Town, which is engaged in winemaking, is located on the bank of the Han River, and lives next to Yuge Town, which is engaged in fishing, and the famous Ba Xiangqing is produced here, which is a steady source of wealth for the territory. With Shi Sheng's promotion to master chef, the training speed of chefs in the territory has been significantly accelerated, which has led to the continuous increase in the output of Ba Township, and the importance of Wuliang Town to the territory has also increased.

Yi Feng has taken over the task of upgrading Wuliang Town to increase the production potential of Wuliang Town.

Since its establishment, Wuliang Town has never been attacked by foreign enemies.

However, given the importance of the dependent territory to the economy of the territory, the Champion attaches great importance to it.

There are a total of 5,000 rock battalions in the Yizhou part of the territory, which have to protect the main city and 15 affiliated territories, and also reserve some troops to deal with emergencies, and the troops are not abundant. Many subordinate territories only have one or two hundred people, and the permanent strength of Wuliang Town is 500 people, accounting for one-tenth of the regular force, which is enough to see the degree of dependence of the territory on Wuliang Town.

The night is as cool as water.

A patrol walked along a fixed route, and as usual, nothing was found.

However, outside the fence, in the darkness where the torches could not be seen, more than a dozen figures lurked.

The patrol was moving away, and the other patrols had not yet come, and the lurking figure moved quickly, easily climbing over the two-person high fence, using the building as cover, and reaching deeper into the town.

Prior to this, they had sent people to infiltrate Wuliang Town many times to reconnoitre, and had a clear grasp of the information on the distribution of the garrison posts in Wuliang Town, patrol routes, shift change times, and the residences of important people. All the preparations are for tonight's action.

Their target is the Stone Saint.

The master chef who was born with the blueprint of high-level talent upgrade is well aware of the territory's expectations of him. After being promoted, he went all out to cultivate chef talents for the deer leader, and tried every means to improve the production capacity of Baxiang Qing to repay the lord's love for him. Shi Sheng was a valuable master talent, and he should have lived in the main city, but he took the initiative to ask to be stationed in Wuliang Town in order to better serve the territory.

The abduction of Shisheng will inevitably bring a blow to Baxiangqing, the most important pillar industry of Zhulu Ling.

The blow is all-round.

Without Shi Sheng, the training speed of chef talent training will inevitably slow down; Without Shi Sheng, the Zhulu Leader will lose the additional bonus of the Master's Mansion to the chef's production efficiency, which will directly affect the output; The most important thing is that such an important master talent was taken away in the territory, and the impact on the morale of the people in the territory is incalculable.

High people's hearts and high satisfaction have always been the most amazing part of the competition.

Zhulu Ling has been besieged by strong enemies many times. In order to repel the enemy, the territory paid a heavy price, but the villagers of Zhulu did not become discouraged or depressed, but became more confident in the territory and wholeheartedly supported the lord. The reason for this may be directly related to the fact that the deer leader is always able to repel strong enemies when facing invasions.

With the current strength of the deer leader, a strong attack is not the best policy.

But open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend.

Some things that are not easy for the army to do are not necessarily difficult for the masters of the rivers and lakes.

Such as kidnapping or assassination.

None of the people who can participate in tonight's operation are mediocre hands, and these more than a dozen uninvited guests who infiltrated Wuliang Town are all high-level martial artists. It is not difficult for them to send so many skilled warriors to infiltrate a dependent territory full of holes in the defense system and kidnap people, and everyone is confident in completing the task.

The soldiers split up and quickly approached a hut in the center of town.

As long as you find Shi Sheng, this mission is equivalent to completing most of it.

They were not worried about how to retreat.

They can get in and they can get out, the night is the best cover, and it is difficult for the defenders to stop them from leaving.

The only suspense is whether the target can be taken away smoothly.

If the target refuses to cooperate, alarming the defenders, and it is difficult to break through with the target, they will kill the stone saint.

The cottage arrived.
