"Second uncle! You're back? ”

A young man watched the big boat on the shore get off the ground, and a well-dressed middle-aged man bowed down and spoke.

"It's the way of the teacher... Why are you here to pick us up? What about Song Lu? Where did you go for flower wine again? ”

The middle-aged man is tall, but he is more than a head taller than the people around him, but he doesn't look strong, but he has a sharp bearing that occasionally flows out.

There is also a glint of wisdom in his eyes, and he looks at his eldest brother's young son quite kindly.

"Uncle Lu went to deliver some things about salt goods, Pegasus Ranch has now developed a new salt-making method, and made snowflake candy, those sugar-making crops are very suitable for planting in the south, Daddy arranged for Uncle Lu to develop this aspect with the people of Pegasus Ranch, so let me pick up the second uncle..."

Don't look at the young man's age, he speaks in a clear manner, and he is obviously a big kid who is not lacking in intelligence and family education.

This is natural, there are not many forces that can open the mouth in the south and develop and sell sugar together with Pegasus Ranch, and the most capable of them is the famous Lingnan Song Valve in today's Central Plains!

...

Hearing his nephew's words, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed slightly, and he shook his head and spoke to the young man.

"Master, you count the goods in the back first, and I'll go to the Knife Grinding Hall to meet the eldest brother!"

In the generation of the Lingnan Song lords who are now in charge, the most famous is, of course, 10,000 elite soldiers against 100,000 troops, and finally ten battles and ten victories by the then emperor Yang Jian reluctantly Huairou named the Song Que as 'Zhennan Gong'.

is not only outstanding in military affairs, but also in the rivers and lakes, the lord of the Lingnan Song Dynasty is also a well-known heavenly sword, and many people compare it with several contemporary great masters.

And the rest is Song Zhi, nicknamed 'Earth Sword'.

After Song Que turned behind the scenes because of his sharpness, most of the affairs of the Lingnan Song Valve were handled by this Song Zhi, that is, the second uncle of the young man.

To be able to become the number two person of the Lingnan Song Valve, Song Zhi is naturally extremely extraordinary, and he is a superhuman existence in all his martial arts.

This escort of goods is not only to earn the money and food needed by the Song valve, but also to actually investigate the situation in various parts of the Great Sui and collect information on all forces.

These are all things that can only be done if he goes to report to Song Que in person.

Perhaps because of the rumors and intelligence that I heard recently, Song Zhi's pace couldn't help but speed up a little.

When he passed through the heavy mountain fort and entered an ordinary courtyard, I am afraid that no one thought that the famous 'Knife Grinding Hall' in the world did not seem to be such an ordinary place.

Crossing the stone bridge, crossing the bridge and climbing the corridor, through the second courtyard gate, the eyes are suddenly open, at the end is a magnificent five-bay wooden building, a locust tree as high as ten zhang in the center of the courtyard is towering high, like an umbrella to cover the building and the courtyard.

Such a scene may be very amazing in the eyes of ordinary people, but for those who have a heart, it can only be described as simple.

The only thing that attracts attention is that there are more than a dozen knives of different shapes on the walls on both sides, and there is a huge stone with a stalagmite-like shape, dark and shiny, and as high as a human body, there is a huge stone against the wall at the other end of the door.

That is, the world-famous, whetstone!

Song Zhi can be said to come to this knife grinding hall every day, but every time he comes, he is still shocked by the temperament contained in it, and a man with a majestic figure has appeared in front of him.

It is now the head of the Song Valve, the 'Heavenly Knife' Song Que!

"I've seen big brother!"

Song Zhi bowed his hand, and saw a handsome face with almost no flaws, and it was Song Que who turned around.

"Brother Zhi is back? After a hard journey, I first found a place to sit down and slowly talked about the current situation in various places. ”

A soft and pleasant voice sounded, and Song Que and Song Zhi had already sat down in front of a table and chair in the Knife Grinding Hall.

Fortunately, Song Zhi is also accustomed to Song Que's straightforward approach, and there is no superfluous greeting.

"As the eldest brother expected, Yang Guang failed to attack Goguryeo again, and the 100,000 northern forbidden army could no longer be suppressed, and now they have begun to deliberately leave Luoyang and return to Yangzhou, the former base camp!"

Hearing this, Song Que's face remained unchanged.

"Yang Guang built the Grand Canal to dredge the north and south to expand the center's control over the south, and wanted to use the opportunity of cutting down Goguryeo to weaken the power of the northern gate lords, after all, he was still too anxious, and he underestimated the ruthlessness of those gate lords who broke their wrists."

One sentence pointed out that Yang Guang's approach was not as meaningless as it seemed, and even a great achievement, but what was the use of that?

As a result, it was decided that Yang Guang was now in a desperate situation.

Even if he wants to turn the tables now, the strength in his hands is not enough, and the good situation is wasted by himself, it can only be said that after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he wanted to surpass his father too much!

"Big brother, according to the current situation, the north has already been smoky, can the south also move?"

After listening to Song Que's words, Song Zhi is eyes flashed, Song Valve has buried a lot of shadows in various places in the south over the years, and what he is waiting for is this opportunity.

The only problem is that they didn't expect Yang Guang to defeat the Great Sui so quickly, originally according to Song Que's assumption, this would be a plan that would take at least three generations to carry out.

However, being able to grow in one generation is also more fulfilling for Song Zhi, after all, this is sweeping the world!

Being able to build a new dynasty with your own hands is an irresistible temptation for anyone with ambitions.

However, Song Que did not directly give a positive answer, but spoke with a calm expression.

"Except for Yang Guang, what is the situation in various places? What's going on on the rivers and lakes? ”

Knowing that his eldest brother has always planned and then acted, Song Zhi was not in a hurry, and told all the information he had collected over the past few days.

Although there are other means of communication, after all, that has limitations, and it is not as intuitive as face-to-face communication as it is now.

also gave Song Que more ideas.

"The four great Kou are all wiped out? Dead at the hands of two new young boys from Pegasus Ranch? ”

"Interesting..."

The corners of his mouth crossed a slight arc, and Song Que became more and more interested in Pegasus Ranch.

"News from Bashu, Shang Xiuxun and a mysterious man arrived in Chengdu, and then disappeared again, and then the four demons of the Evil Pole Dao all disappeared in Bashu, only You Niaoti's corpse was found, and I heard that there are other people's corpses, but the identity is not clear..."

"Xie Hui's side was also lost a lot of face, but it seemed that he found something, and he didn't have a seizure, and this matter has become a taboo in Duzun Castle."

Hearing that his eldest brother was interested in Pegasus Ranch, Song Zhi immediately told all the relevant information he had collected recently.

It also made Song Que's expression really change slightly.
