Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice were very happy to see the master, and hurriedly introduced the master into the cottage. Immediately, he set down the banquet for the master to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

There were not many people at the banquet, except for the two masters and apprentices of Xiao Laodao, there were three who accompanied the wine, all of them were full of pride.

According to Xiao Laodao's introduction, these three are the leaders of the cottage and share righteous deeds with him.

Only then did the master understand that the "big event" that Xiao Laodao had been talking about before was actually "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", and the people on their hill were all "righteous men" who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and they had fought many battles with the local officers and soldiers.

The grandfather does not have Xiao Laodao's mind and ambition, and has no lofty ideals, he just wants to catch up with Xiao Laodao, and take away his share of property by the way, as for what "anti-Qing and Mingming", the grandfather has never thought about it.

The next day, Xiao Laodao took the grandfather to inspect the cottage, and the grandfather only then knew that Xiao Laodao was actually the military advisor of this group of rebels, and he specially gave advice to their big leaders.

At that time, Xiao Laodao led the grandfather to their martial arts arena to take a look, and hundreds of people were practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena.

Xiao Laodao said that their group of rebels has a total of more than 1,300 people, many of whom are good at kung fu, and when the time is ripe in the future, they will unite with other rebels under the mountain to attack the Qing army city together.

However, listening to Xiao Laodao's tone, the master felt that the big things that Xiao Laodao said seemed to have to be prepared for many years, but Xiao Laodao was very confident. The master suspects that Xiao Laodao's junior brother, the lame Taoist's hexagram, I am afraid that it will come true.

The grandfather lived in the cottage for several days, but Xiao Laodao didn't say a word about the grandfather's property, except for taking the grandfather to inspect the cottage, he was pulling the grandfather to drink wine and eat meat.

In the past few days, the master has told Xiao Laodao about his experience after separating from Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice. After listening to this, Xiao Lao was full of emotion, and said Master, I think you are a wife, marry one and die, and the grandfather is very uncomfortable, as if he is really a wife.

Later, the grandfather told Xiao Laodao about the fight on the road, Xiao Laodao was very excited when he heard it, and said Master, if we have a character like you in our cottage, why worry about the big thing.

When the master heard this, he felt that Xiao Laodao asked him to come over this time, as if he didn't want to catch up with himself, as if he wanted to pull himself in. However, the grandfather did not want to stay in the cottage, he promised my ancestor before that he would go home within half a year.

Xiao Laodao also looked at the short knife that the Taiye got from the Japanese ronin, and Xiao Laodao smiled after seeing it, and said to the Taiye, if you really like the Oriental knife, you should take their long knife, not this short knife.

The master was puzzled, so Xiao Laodao explained to the master that this short knife was used by those widows and people to commit suicide by seppuku after they were defeated.

When the master heard this, he suddenly felt bad luck and threw the knife into the ravine casually.

The grandfather lived in the cottage for half a month, and saw that Xiao Laodao just took him to visit the cottage all day long, eating meat and drinking wine, and he was a little tired. So, the grandfather and Xiao Laodao proposed to resign and wanted to go home.

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he was immediately reluctant, and said to the master, you haven't seen our big leader in the past few days, since you are leaving, let's meet our big leader and leave. The master couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

Xiao Laodao took the grandfather to meet their big leader, but what surprised the master was that their big leader was actually a short man, in his forties, looking at his poor appearance, which was completely different from the big masters of the horse that the master had seen, and he did not have a bit of heroism. is such a character, but Xiao Laodao is looking at him, and the master feels very awkward in his heart.

After the big boss met with the master, he didn't react much to the master, but said to Xiao Laodao, recently the cottage has been short of property again, and we are not like those bandits, who can go down the mountain to loot.

When the master heard this, he seemed to understand......

Subsequently, Xiao Laodao discussed with the grandfather, hoping that the grandfather could help him again, find a few large tombs, and get some military salaries for the cottage.

The grandfather said to Xiao Laodao that he didn't want his share of the property, and gave it all to the brothers in the cottage, and as for digging the grave again, the grandfather didn't want to do that again.

Xiao Laodao immediately sighed and said to the master, now that Xiao Chujiu is gone, and the ghost monkey has also returned to the mountains and forests by him, he really doesn't want to trouble the master, but he has no helper.

The master said, you have thousands of people in the cottage, can't you find a few good players?

Xiao Laodao shook his head and said, there are many good hands, but there are too few people who can not be moved by real money, and several groups of people have been cultivated in the past, and in the end, they all took their belongings and disappeared without permission.

Their cottage seems to be iron-clad, but in fact, many people came here for gold and silver salaries.

The master suddenly understood that no one was really for "righteousness", in the final analysis, it was all for money and power, of course, except for Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice.

Under Xiao Laodao's soft grinding and hard bubbles, the grandfather promised Xiao Laodao to help Xiao Laodao steal a few more tombs, and then go home.

The grandfather then wrote a letter to his family, telling me that he and his grandmother would delay the time to go home, and when he would go back, and he would write another letter in the future.

In this way, the master and apprentice Xiao Laodao embarked on a journey of tomb robbery again, and Xiao Laodao found two helpers in the righteous army, both of whom were tall and had some means, and they were both very honest and loyal.

Half a month later, a group of five people left Wuling Mountain.

At this time, my grandfather finally figured out where Xiao Laodao's information about the ancient tomb came from, and how he sold the stolen goods after getting the treasure.

It turned out that they were all from the group of rebels in Wuling Mountain, among them, there were many capable people, among whom there were many roosters and dog thieves, some of whom were specifically responsible for exploring the ancient tombs, and some were responsible for selling dark weapons, and Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice were responsible for exploring the tomb.

It is said that they were originally a group of tomb robbers, and later because they were arrested by the government, they got together and became the rebels who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice joined later, and he was chased by the Qing army with no way out, joined the cottage, Xiao Laodao relied on his own knowledge and means, and soon became their military advisor, they have no ability, the tomb robber was born, mainly to save the life of Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice, Xiao Laodao is looking at him at this time, and listening to Xiao Laodao's words very much, originally their cottage is also a robbery, no different from a bandit, it is all Xiao Laodao single-handedly turned the tide, set up military regulations, and restrained these people. Xiao Laodao's lofty ambitions are also all pinned on these people.

The master had actually seen it at that time that this rebel army was just a rabble, all supported by Xiao Laodao alone, if there was no Xiao Laodao, they would be just a group of ringing horses who robbed houses.

Just when Taiye and Xiao Laodao were about to leave the cottage and set off, a group of officers and soldiers came down the mountain, they did not come to attack the cottage, they said that they were here to negotiate peace.

Xiao Laodao and the big leader met with the leader of this team of officers and soldiers, and the grandfather was not present at that time, and the grandfather belonged to outsiders.

Later, I heard Xiao Laodao say that the two officers and soldiers came to recruit peace, saying that now the country is being bullied by foreign enemies, and we should put aside our prejudices and unite with the outside world, especially the church of foreigners, to confuse the public, collude with foreigners, and intend to destroy the Qing Dynasty.

When Xiao Laodao and the big leader heard it, they seemed to have some truth, and the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty were just infighting among the Chinese people, if the foreigners were allowed to win the world, how could there be a good life.

So, Xiao Laodao told the big leader to resist the foreign religion together with the officers and soldiers, and then overthrow the Manchu Qing when the time was ripe. Subsequently, from "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" to "supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreigners", on the surface, they were still hostile to the Qing army, but in fact, everything they did against foreigners and foreign religions was secretly supported by the government.

This is a complex social relationship, and the government panders to foreigners on the one hand, and secretly directs the rebels on the other. On the part of the rebels, on the one hand, they dealt with foreigners, and on the other hand, they were also wary of the government. The foreigners were dizzy, feeling that these people who were against them seemed to have a connection with the government, but they could not find any solid evidence.

When Xiao Laodao left the cottage, he told the big chief, the words of the government, listen to half believe and half believe, they asked us to deal with foreigners, we listened, if we let us deal with the common people or our own people, we didn't listen, we must grasp the size, and try to find ways to make some weapons and military pay from the government.

The big leader nodded again and again, saying that he would reassure the military division, and everything would be arranged by the military division.

In this way, Xiao Laodao left the cottage with the grandfather, and at this time, they inquired into several large tombs, and it is said that the funeral goods in them are worth a lot of money.

At that time, the grandfather wondered why he couldn't take care of the military salaries of thousands of people when he bought a lot of valuable items in the past?

Xiao Laodao told the master that the military salary is not nothing, but if you want to do great things, you must have enough capital, in addition to these military salaries at the moment, they also have to prepare a tens of thousands of people of food and grass military salary, and at that time, they will have the ability to attack the city.

When the master heard this, he felt that Xiao Laodao and the big leader seemed to have set a trap for themselves, they didn't seem to be short of military salaries, but they just let themselves promise Xiao Laodao to rob the tomb with Xiao Laodao.

However, through his observation these days, the grandfather found that Xiao Laodao had indeed poured all his energy and blood into his "big thing", and the grandfather couldn't bear to refuse him.

However, can Xiao Laodao's big event really be accomplished? Or, as Xiao Laodao himself said, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent......
