Li Yunxin turned over and muttered in a low voice:

"Watching TV ......"

When Yu Qingmei heard it, she couldn't help but smile and said:

"This kid, could it be that he dreamed of the temple test? I'm afraid I can't see it in the palace test, but I can take a look at the horse tour of the street. Hehe, maybe the Li family can really come up with a literary star. ”

Red dates couldn't help but persuade:

"Miss, it's late at night, you should rest early."

Yu Qingmei also listened to persuasion:

"Good. It's hard for you to take care of it here, and Sister Xin is only familiar with you. I'll rest in the rain building today. Listen to the rain building, let Bai Tao go to the night. ”

Red dates hurriedly bent their knees: "Yes." ”

In his heart, his evaluation of Li Yunxin has risen to another level.

This master seems to be really valued by the young lady. I don't know what point got into the eyes of the young lady. But since the young lady took care of her like this, she couldn't treat her slowly.

……

In the middle of the night, a group of black-clad masked men with their heads wrapped came out of a stockade deep in the Thang Long Mountains. Their horses' hooves were covered with cloth. There were no torches, only dim starlight.

The mountain road is rugged, and it takes about a day and a night to get to the village of Yujiazhuangzi.

However, they all know it in their hearts.

The reason why I set off late at night was to be able to catch up with Yujia Zhuangzi without knowing it. While they were all asleep, they took the Zhuangzi in a nest.

There have been fewer and fewer caravans crossing the border recently, and they haven't opened meat for a long time, and they are idle!

This team is the head of the He family, a nest of mountain bandits secretly hiding in the depths of Shenglong Mountain.

Usually, they would occasionally go down the mountain to rob a passing merchant, but most of the time, they would just be unable to shrink in the mountains.

The He family was originally a bandit who robbed houses.

After Emperor Wai of the previous dynasty sealed Chu Xuan in Bohai County, Chu Xuan once sent his subordinates to exterminate these bandits entrenched in Shenglong Ridge.

At that time, there were many bandits, but there were not many ordinary people......

The He family saw that the opportunity was fast, and seeing that the momentum was not good, they found an intermediary to lobby, and then accepted Zhao'an with joy on their faces and grievances in their hearts, and went ashore in whitewash.

But the head of the He family is a cunning rabbit.

He did not trust either the court of the previous dynasty or the current king of Chu.

He always felt that he had to have money, food, land, and an army in his hands in order to keep his family's wealth and life in this troubled world.

That's right, this world is a troubled world.

Emperor Wai of the former dynasty was a lawless and faint monarch.

There is a miasma of smoke in the officialdom, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are like leeks, one after another; There are foreign tribes on the border, who often cross the border and plunder; God often gives some floods, droughts, plagues, and so on...... The life of ordinary people is really worse than that of pigs and dogs.

Later, Emperor Wai abdicated, and the major families rose up one after another, each occupying the territory and proclaiming himself king. You fight me, I fight you, and the war has been fought for many years. Now the five largest families are left, and they can basically coexist peacefully.

However, Chu Xuan, the king of Chu, is not a son of a family.

As for his practice of using his surname as a title, I don't know how many people from the family have ridiculed.

If you let Master Zheng say, in these years, where is there any real family. These so-called families are actually just putting gold on their faces.

The family had already been killed hundreds of years ago. Now these self-proclaimed families, although they are also big families, they are not the same thing as those families in history.

Now in this year, what we pay attention to is not the heritage that has gone through thousands of years, but the hardness of the fist and the thickness of the money bag.

Although his family came from a humble background, he was just a reckless hero. But in their own hands, the biggest advantage is that they have their own team. If necessary, pull it out, it can save your life and kill the enemy.

That's the power you can rely on!

This power naturally has to be in your own hands. The worst of them must be in the hands of their sons and grandsons.

Therefore, although he was recruited, he didn't really let the bandits under him live the lives of ordinary people honestly.

Among them, those who didn't give up and didn't have enough of a good life of eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls, he found a suitable time and sent them all to this Jade Pillar Peak.

The terrain of this Jade Pillar Peak is quite steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place to hide troops.

On weekdays, Master He served them with good food and drink, and let his son He Jiu personally lead the team and be responsible for training troops in the mountains.

It's just that these horses, after all, are not regular troops, and they have a lot of banditry.

Although Master He means that the more low-key the better.

But every once in a while, these people inevitably want to do a vote.

Considering that raising soldiers is also a large expense, Master He turned a blind eye to their occasional behavior of going down the mountain to rob a merchant.

It's just that he never dreamed that He Jikang, his grandson He Jikang, who he had always valued the most, saw Master Yu's intention to recruit the nursing home, and he didn't discuss it with him, so he planned to strike first.

He Jikang had already sent a letter directly to He Jiu, telling him about the old man's nursing home, and asked He Jiu to take the old man's Zhuangzi as the goal.

If this trip goes well, it is conservatively estimated that you can grab at least 10,000 taels of silver.

What He Jikang didn't know was that Zheng Qishao, who was full of eyes and ears, had quietly stared at him. With the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, the wishful thinking.

Just waiting for him to succeed in robbing the old man's house, he will follow behind to pick up the bargain and have a black and black game.

If the Yu family can't find out who did it, Zheng Qishao doesn't mind revealing a little bit to them at the right time.

Let the Yu family and the Zheng family compete with each other, and they will naturally enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

It's just that no matter how smart the He family and the Zheng family are, they never dreamed that Chu Xuan, the king of Chu who was rumored to have disappeared on the Jinghu battlefield, lived on the Deyue Tower in Yujiazhuang at this time.

Even the lives of Chu Xuan and his nephew Chu Mingze were saved by Master Yu's close friend Wang Fengqing.

And Chu Xuan's ironclad guard had already contacted him. At this time, he was following Chu Xuan's instructions, breaking it into pieces and acting in secret.

A part of the ironclad guards were scattered and lurking near the backer, secretly guarding Chu Xuan's safety.

The other part has sneaked into various cities, secretly contacting the garrisons in various places.

The troops that Chu Xuan brought to the Jinghu battlefield were not all the troops under the command of the King of Chu. The vast majority of these garrisons were people loyal to Chu Xuan.

Xiao Lengyue, who was intoxicated in the gentle township, had long forgotten this.

Of course, if Chu Xuan hadn't succeeded in escaping and had died directly under Xiao Lengyue's plot, then he wouldn't need to care about this at all.

Although Chu Xuan barely escaped, in Xiao Lengyue's opinion, he was so seriously injured, and he sent out so many killers, presumably even if it was consumed, it could consume him to death.

Why worry so much?

The top priority at the moment should be to negotiate with King Wu and properly agree on the territory to be ruled by dividing the river.

When the fight in the south is almost over, I will come out to pick peaches by myself.

King Wu's territory is actually not big, although the Tutuo army is brave, but it is mainly strong enough in this one-third of an acre of land at the door of his house. As long as he is willing to make peace, presumably King Wu will not have to fight.

After all, behind him, there are King Yue, King Xiang, and King Chen, all of whom are eyeing each other, waiting to pick up a bargain!
