Chapter 183: Cold Smoke Cui (3)
Ximo came over.
In the end, he couldn't help but ask Qian Xiaowu.
Qian Xiaowu is also a practitioner, but in order to find Shi Ximo, he is also out of breath in this temple. Ximo walked out from the shadow of the bushes and looked at him: "What's the matter?" β
"Uncle Shi, something happened."
Qian Xiaowu kept talking about the accident, and Ximo told him to be more careful. Qian Xiaowu still had a shocked expression on his face, and Ximo was really puzzled.
"Uncle Shi, there are a lot of soldiers with knives and guns in the city, and they are here by order."
"On orders? Soldier? β
"Leading these people was a general surnamed Wang, who said that he had come to search for thieves on the orders of Prime Minister Zhang of the current dynasty. The general, surnamed Wang, brought with him 5,000 men. They're here to hunt me down. All of my men together are less than a thousand. Uncle Shi, in fact, I'm just making a small fuss, where have I led soldiers to fight? When I heard the sound of the carriage, I was scared and only thought of coming to you. β
Qian Xiaowu, like Kidney Douer, is a little infatuated.
If you decide to follow a person, you will follow him wholeheartedly from now on.
Qian Xiaowuyi heard that Luo Luo came to report, saying that the regular army of the imperial court had entered Jiangcheng, and when he caught someone, he asked the residence of Qian Xiaowu, the leader of the bandits, and wanted to take a group of Luo Luo to resist, but as soon as he heard that the other party's men and horses were several times his own, Qian Xiaowu still felt that he could not attack rashly, otherwise the whole "army" would be annihilated.
Ximo told him to calm down.
"I can't calm down? The men and horses of General Wang were standing in the street, standing in the dark. β
Shi Ximo didn't know General Wang and General Li, but he had heard of the name of Prime Minister Zhang, and this person was a master who was flattering and bullied, known as Zhang Linfu. Naturally, he is not called Lin Fu, just because his character is the same as the treacherous Li Linfu of the Tang Dynasty, so he got such a nickname.
Ximo is not afraid of Prime Minister Zhang.
He just wondered: Why did people in the court know that there was a Qian Xiaowu in Jiangcheng in such a time, and he was so busy that he was going to come to suppress the bandits? Where did they come from? It is not the first time that Jiangcheng has been harassed by thieves, and the shock caused before was even greater, but it has not been seen for a long time that anyone in the DPRK has been dispatched.
Ximo is really not sure.
However, Ximo wanted to meet that General Li for a while.
"I'll go out on the street."
Mrs. Yu and the old lady came, and the two tried their best to dissuade Ximo from going.
At that time, Qian Xiaowu was anxious: "I'm the one who took refuge in the uncle." If I don't look for him, who else will I go to? β
As soon as this statement came out, it was a hot disaster.
The old lady and Mrs. Jade glanced at each other.
This Qian Xiaowu is the leader of the bandits, but what he said, it is clear that Ximo is in the same group as him, and he is still the superior of this thief. They don't understand.
When Ximo's three younger sisters heard this, they also showed surprised eyes.
The pure heart was even more puzzled, and his eyes widened, looking incredulous.
In the crowd, it was Miao Yuan, relatively calm.
"To tell you the truth, after I left home, I went to Yanshan and followed the king of Ningbei. This Qian Xiaowu is the leader of the thief, but after listening to my advice, he has decided to submit. In the near future, he will leave Jiangcheng with me and return to Yanshan together. β
These words, Ximo deliberately said lightly.
The old lady and the jade lady looked at each other again.
The two tacitly agreed, but they were helpless.
Sure enough, they were right! Miao Yuan spoke: "Uncle Shi, what do you want to do, Miss Qiuwen knows everything?" β
Ximo nodded: "She knows everything and has always supported me." β
Miao Yuan said: "You go to Yanshan again, and give me a word, just say that I miss her." β
Miaoyuan really misses the autumn pattern.
If possible, she also wants to go to Yanshan.
The time that Qiu Wen lived with her in Panlong Temple made her feel that Qiu Wen was too similar to her brother and daughter-in-law. Seeing Autumn Pattern will soothe her heart, as if her brother's family is right in front of her, they are not dead, they are still alive.
"Definitely."
Ximo's attention was only on her grandmother and mother.
Today, this Qian Xiaowu came to visit rashly, and by mistake forced him to tell what he was hiding in his heart, which was both apprehensive, and since then he has also opened the confinement.
Whether they approve of it or not, this path is a foregone conclusion.
Things were also unexpected by Ximo, and her mother and grandmother did not show much obstruction. There was a hint of guilt in his heart. Mrs. Shi just lamented: "I'm old, I don't get involved in the affairs of your young people, because I can't get involved." You can do whatever you want. What do I have to say, ...... later? What about you and your father? β
After all, being a son and being a son are not on the same line.
In the future, I am afraid that the son will kill the old man. Are there few such things in this world? In the emperor's house, fathers, sons and brothers slaughtered too much.
But Sun Zi Ximo is just assisting others in their success.
The old lady wanted to persuade: "Do you know that people like you will not end well?" β
The old lady didn't read history books, she loved to read dramas, and some of the things she knew about the birds were heard from the mouth of the little drama on the stage. Since Xiaowu entered Jiangcheng indiscriminately, the old lady had already disbanded all the small dramas before. Dum Jun loves to listen to opera, and the people below also compete to follow suit, as for whether he understands drama or not, it doesn't matter. The merchant girl does not die. The hatred of the country, after singing across the river. Garden flowers. It's not that half of the country has been destroyed, it's just that the faint monarch doesn't do his job, which makes the people of the world miserable, plus the taxes are also heavy, and people have added money, and this great cloud country has made a miasma.
The old lady is a person who has come over, and she knows that if this continues, the end of this faint king will not be good.
Don't think about it. Only refer to the Shang Xia Ji, as well as Sui Yang Tangzhuang.
But the old lady didn't want her family to kill. When her son is not in sight, all she can do is persuade her grandson.
"Grandson just wants the country of Tianyun to be clear again."
The old lady nodded: "Okay, you have great ambition and big heart." I'm an outdated person, I can't say anything about you. But have you ever thought that if you fail, your actions will implicate the whole family? Your father, your mother, and your three younger sisters are all gone? β
Ximo naturally thought about it.
"Father can move the way."
He hid a deep meaning in what he said, and the old lady and the jade lady could know what he said.
Madam Yu smiled bitterly: "That's it, you can go, the only way is to pretend to be deaf and dumb." Even if one day, I am caught and killed, I don't blame you, just because I owe you, after all, when you were a child, I didn't accompany you, these should be compensation, I will pay you with my life. β
That's a big deal.
As soon as Ximo thought about it, he was about to kneel.
Madame Jade grabbed him in time.
"Why kneel? Although I am your mother, I neglected to take care of you when I gave birth to you. This is a fact, everyone knows. You hate me, you hate me, you should be. β
"But a mother is a mother after all, and without a mother, how can there be me?"
Lady Jade smiled even more wryly: "You don't have to be confused by those books of sages. I gave birth to you, but you will die after all. There is one thing to do. There is life and there is death. You go and do it. Yours, I'm not going to drag you back in the rear. Although I am a woman, I also know that evil is invincible and what is right. Righteousness. If the enemy is now, I know what I should do. β
Ximo was very moved by her mother's words.
He choked and choked, still kneeling before his mother.
"Mother, the child will not disappoint the mother!"
Ximo turned around and left Panlong Temple with Qian Xiaowu in five steps.
Qian Xiaowu was still flustered.
Ximo advised him not to be afraid. He could force the general away without much effort. No one knew that this general Wang came to this Jiangcheng, firstly, to be ordered to exterminate the bandits, and secondly, to find the orphans of the first emperor on the orders of Prime Minister Zhang.
And the latter is the heavier.
That's a miracle.
The first emperor is the eldest brother of the faint king, and before he died inexplicably, there were two young children under his knees. But they all died in vain. Where did the first emperor come from?
It's just because this prime minister also knows a little bit about the old things.
He has always had a doubt in his heart, more than 20 years ago, the first emperor went to Jiangcheng to escape the summer and met a young woman, this
The woman is also said to have come from a wealthy family. When Emperor Xian left Jiangcheng for the last time, the woman was said to be pregnant. If she gave birth to this child and was still a man, then this man was the only son of the emperor in the world. If he knew his life experience, he would definitely not be willing to be mediocre, and he would definitely be ready to move, and he would only be afraid of being used by Yun Zhan at that time.
Prime Minister Zhang is the confidant of the faint monarch, and he has the greatest credit for supporting the faint monarch to ascend the throne. In the past, he faintly heard that the first emperor had a legacy son in Jiangcheng, but he didn't know if it was true or not. But in the end, you can't let it go.
General Wang was a former subordinate of Prime Minister Zhang, and he also had some distant relatives with him. If you get the order, you will come quickly. To be honest, this general surnamed Wang is actually not a general. Because he has now been dismissed, he is listening to the decree of the court. He didn't know what position he would do in the future.
But this errand matter, General Wang is still very attentive. Well done, with results,
When he went back to restore his life, Prime Minister Zhang was satisfied, and he would recommend him to him.
Tianyun Kingdom not only implements the imperial examination system, but also parallels the nine-product Zhongzheng system.
On the way, Qian Xiaowu asked Ximo what he could do.
"You take the initiative to go to him."
Qian Xiaowu didn't know why, so he took a few steps back and said, "How is this possible?" Uncle is like this, he sent me to prison, why do you talk about going to Yanshan to surrender? β
In Qian Xiaowu's heart, what he didn't let go of was his mother-in-law Kidney Bean.
Now he is tasting the pleasure of husband and wife, and once he is born, he will inevitably suffer in his heart.
"Go, he doesn't dare to do anything to you."
Why is that? People are ordered to have tokens. β
Ximo smiled lightly: "That General Wang is unknown, he is on the orders of Prime Minister Zhang, not the current emperor, if he has a token, maybe it's a fake?" β
"Huh?"
Ximo had heard Yun Zhan talk about some old things about Prime Minister Zhang. The general, surnamed Wang, was his pawn and dog-legged. But because he didn't serve well in the army, and because of his poor ability, he never got promoted. He, a general who has stepped down, how can he have the power to arrest criminals and kill them like Dali Temple? is also different from the yamen, which can order to arrest people who are suspected quickly. What he is serving is just the order of the old superiors, so he can only hide. Obscure private matters cannot be put on the table. The prime minister Zhang was also too wanton, rashly, borrowed soldiers, and came to Jiangcheng with great momentum, saying that he wanted to suppress bandits.
It's a joke.
Ximo had a way to tell General Wang to go back.
Now that the huge river city is no longer guarded, this is another joke. It is one thing to have too much to defend or not, but it is another thing for General Wang to lead borrowed soldiers and horses to make trouble.
If there is a thief in the city, the people can gather themselves to guard it, or they can report it to the top.
But it is not the turn of people like General Wang to meddle in affairs, and it is useless if he is not in the official, no matter how powerful Prime Minister Zhang is.
"Uncle Shi, but I'm a thief in the end."
"You haven't seen him yet, he hasn't asked you yet, why do you have to confess?"
Qian Xiaowu was even more stunned.
Ximo smiled: "You follow me, don't be afraid of anything." If he asks you, I will say that you have been invited by the people of this city to keep order. What thieves are not thieves, he said it doesn't count. β
Qian Xiaowu was stunned again.
"You are a thief, but you did not kill the people of the good family in the city, you killed the people who should be killed. Moreover, the gold and silver treasures you robbed can be assumed to be a commission given to you by others to maintain order. β
Qian Xiaowu suddenly realized.
"No one will object, and no one will openly oppose you."
"Why is that?"
Ximo saw the pros and cons, so he smiled: "Jiangcheng has fled, which makes the people in the city very disappointed. They hate those who are in office more than you. β
Qian Xiaowu nodded busily.
"Yes, if I am a citizen of Jiangcheng, at the critical moment, this official slips away, I am more willing to tie up with those thieves, as long as they don't kill people or plunder, and they are willing to maintain the daily order of Jiangcheng."
Speaking of this, Qian Xiaowu still blushed.
For though he has changed now, when he first entered the city, he still committed robbery.
"What if someone denounces me?" Qian Xiaowu wanted to think more thoughtfully.
Ximo said, "No." The people don't want to make trouble. Now you only need to do one thing......" Ximo wrote a few words in the palm of his hand, and Qian Xiaowu understood.
But in an hour, a bad news came from me in Jiangcheng, saying that a young lady from a large family was robbed by thieves. The group of dragons had no leader, and the officer didn't know which one to go to for help, so he simply took the whole family to the street to find the general surnamed Wang.
This is Ximo's plan.
That old man was a calligraphy master in Ximo's childhood.
Ximo is very sure: General Wang will be able to solve the case for a while, and he can't find the daughter of the outsider back. In the end, it was Qian Xiaowu who appeared.
Everything was in his plan.
When the daughter of General Qian Xiaowu is "found", there will be no matter of General Wang. Although he came majestically, he would surely go away in despair.
After Ximo finished instructing Qian Xiaowu, he came to the street alone to drink tea and watch this good show.
The old man found General Wang outside, crying bitterly, almost wanting to die. General Wang was very irritable, because he felt that something was wrong. His original intention was not to search for people in Jiangcheng to solve the case, he had other important matters.
He was ready to take up his lodging in one of the largest buildings in the city. Jiangcheng is rich, General Wang will not let go of this opportunity, Jiangcheng's food, all kinds of specialties, and the surrounding beauty, he doesn't want to leave behind. Hearing this old man's verbosity, General Wang had no choice but to say a few perfunctory words, but this old man was persistent, so he had to lead people to search everywhere.
The old man deliberately covered his sleeves and exaggeratedly said: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate, I think my daughter must have entered the tiger and wolf's den, and I asked the general to look around, maybe those villains heard the reputation of the general, and they were frightened for a while, so they sent the little girl out." β
"Bad guys? It's not that there are thieves here, by the way, what kind of money is it called? I'm going to search for him? Isn't he? β
"I don't know about this."
"Hmph, he is the one who can have such courage."
"So, General, are you leading someone to search or not?"
"I ...... I'm going to save my strength, so you wait. β
"Is this going to wait? Wait any longer, and my daughter's life will be gone. The old man cried again, which aroused the sympathy of the onlookers on the street, and a few of them were bold
stepped forward to ask General Wang, without further ado, it was time to save people.
General Wang was still very hesitant.
He asked tentatively, "Could that thief be Qian Xiaowu?" β
He was new to the city, and he didn't want to make people laugh because he was not familiar with the place.
The old man's wife also began to weep. The cry was miserable, and the crowd on the side of the road also cried. General Wang kept pacing back and forth in the streets, worried that he could not find a suitable plan.
General Wang was born in martial arts, he was a rough man, and he didn't have a strategist by his side, so he was really anxious.
All this was seen by Ximo, who was drinking tea upstairs. He smiled lightly and reminded Qian Xiaowu, who was sitting opposite him: "Your subordinates, have you all ordered?" β
Qian Xiaowu nodded.
"That's fine."
"After a while, you will go downstairs to meet the general, and say that this Jiangcheng is the only one who can rescue the daughter of the old man. After this incident, the people of Jiangcheng will no longer regard you as an enemy. β
"Thank you, thank you."
Qian Xiaowu bowed seriously.
Ximo was still sitting and drinking tea, with an attitude of watching a good show.
Sure enough, that Qian Xiaowu also held his chest and went to meet the general. Crowd riots. Some are afraid, others are evasive. Qian Xiaowu patted his chest and said that he was willing to save the daughter of the old man.
General Wang still didn't believe it.
"Give me half an hour, and I'll take the daughter of the bitter lord to this street."
After Qian Xiaowu finished speaking, he left majestically again.
People on the street were talking.
General Wang looked at Qian Xiaowu's back, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, catch him for me!" β
The thief is in front of him, he still has to go back to restore his life, this person is sent to the door, this great opportunity, how can he let it go? General Wang actually felt that he was stupid.
didn't want the crowd to stop him from arresting Qian Xiaowu.
General Wang was furious: "What are you doing here? Do? He is a thief, who burns, kills, and plunders in the city, and does all kinds of evil. If you dare to stop again, you will be killed! β
But the crowd still wouldn't let it.
General Wang really didn't understand, he waved his arm: "You are greedy. Why is this rotting? This is a blatant opposition to the imperial court! β
An elderly man came over and said, "General, this is not true. Although this Qian Xiaowu is a thief, he has not done anything bad. Even if he robs, he robs a rich family. What's more, the money of those rich families is not coming from the right way. To put it mildly, now that our state official has slipped away, the security in the city has been bad, and thanks to the rich Xiaowu, otherwise some gangsters outside the city would have to take advantage of this to enter the city to do bad things. According to me, Qian Xiaowu is better than Xue Rencun.
This old man despised Xue Rencun in his heart, and he didn't treat him as a state official at all, and he only called him by name.
In the crowd, a young scholar walked up: "If Qian Xiaowu really found the daughter of the old man and caught the thief, then he is a hero in Jiangcheng." In the future, if something happens to any family, just look for him. β
In this crowd, there were a few Luo Luo of Qian Xiaowu.
When they heard this, they hurriedly shouted in the crowd: "Yes, yes, after this incident, Qian Xiaowu is naturally a hero!" β
A few shouts, which made the crowd more excited, they whispered, they all thought that this Qian Xiaowu was a little bloody, and wanted to be a bandit, but also out of helplessness, now that he is willing to change his evil and return to the right, how can he stop him?
Ladies and gentlemen, the people of this Jiangcheng tried their best to stop them, and they did not have a single blade in their hands, but they resisted General Wang's 1,000 men alive.
The street was dark and oppressive, and the crowd was getting bigger and bigger.
In the end, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper also lost their business and went to the aid to protest.
General Wang was a little embarrassed. There was no shortage of brains in the crowd of onlookers, and some people asked
Since General Wang is here, and he has also brought soldiers, he can have the official document issued by the imperial court in his hand, and if there is, then it is justified.
"Yes, yes, and take out the official documents!"
General Wang was a little embarrassed.
"What are you yelling about? Since I was able to come, I was naturally ordered by the Prime Minister. If you question me, you are against the Prime Minister, and you are against the Emperor! β
He said this in an attempt to silence the onlookers.
But it is useless, because there is no basis for words.
For a while, some people said that the general surnamed Wang should be a liar.
General Wang was even more annoyed, but he never came up with the official documents that the people of Jiangcheng wanted to read.
The angry crowd waved their fists and told him to get out.
General Wang brought soldiers with him. Although the soldiers under him were not vegetarians, when they saw that they had provoked the anger of the public, they also reminded him that it was better to simply leave.
"How can I walk? How can you go? In the end, the old prime minister told me to do nothing. If I go back, not only will I be scolded, let alone promoted. β
General Wang was reluctant to go.
The crowd is even smaller.
At this moment, Qian Xiaowu really carried a person with a lot of flowers, and he came majestically again. The crowd burst into cheers.
Behind Qian Xiaowu, there was a young woman with loose sideburns, and this woman was the daughter of the old man. When the father and daughter saw each other, they hugged and cried.
Buxiao said that at this time, all the people on the street knew that this woman was really rescued by Qian Xiaowu.
Qian Xiaowu pretended to call a few Luo Luo and ordered them to escort this so-called "flower thief" to the Wang family's compound, and he wanted to use the means of the rivers and lakes to end up with this thief.
The old man took his family members and knelt down in front of Qian Xiaowu.
The old man wanted to give Qian Xiaowu a lot of silver, saying that even if he sold the house and the house, he would never lose this favor, and Qian Xiaowu was the benefactor of their family.
The crowd was also moved.
Some people say that don't look at this Qian Xiaowu's reckless background, at the critical moment, he is 10,000 times more noble than that Xue Ren Village. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. What Qian Xiaowu did before, the people of Jiangcheng decided not to care about it. They stepped forward one after another and paid money to invite Qian Xiaowu to eat and drink in a restaurant.
Qian Xiaowuyi shook his head.
General Wang couldn't stand it, he was snubbed by the people of Jiangcheng. Not only is it cold, but it is also lost. But he was unwilling to go.
At this time, Ximo came down from the teahouse and walked to General Wang's side.
"Who are you?"
Ximo said: "I am the son of Weaving Shi Yuan. β
General Wang naturally heard Shi Yuan's name, and he also had dealings with the old prime minister, they were all people of the same faction, General Wang was at a disadvantage and needed someone to help him very much. At this time, the appearance of Ximo is like charcoal in the snow.
"It's all old people, it's all old people."
General Wang thought that Shi Yuan's son, Shi Ximo, appeared and interceded with him. I never thought that the son of this historian would persuade him to leave with kind words.
"I can't deal with these ignorant people."
"You...... I did come on order, but there was no official document. Why don't you have a few words with me? β
General Wang believes that the Shi family is a big family, and as soon as Shi Yuan's son speaks, he still has a certain deterrent effect with the crowd. Ximo smiled: "The general still listens to me, I say it from the bottom of my heart." As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses. β
General Wang hesitated for a moment.
"The general really needs to listen to me. This Qian Xiaowu is so arrogant, it is clear that he has won the support of the people of Jiangcheng. Hold. How can you catch it? And he has never done anything that hurts nature and reason. This is even more atonement. β
General Wang pondered for a long time and sighed: "So I should really go?" β
"Yes."
"But I'm ...... But I ...... "General Wang wants to tell Shi Ximo that he still has a hidden matter, but he can't vent his mouth in the end." But if you don't say it, you will feel aggrieved. It's better to entrust this matter to Shi Yuan's son. This person is Shi Yuan's son, and naturally he is also from the same faction. He is from Jiangcheng, and with his help to inquire and find, it is naturally cheaper.
This general Wang treated Ximo himself.
He lowered his voice and dragged him to a corner of the street, and after saying a few words like this, Ximo immediately understood. He was also puzzled: It turned out that the first emperor had left a child in Jiangcheng, and the faint monarch knew the beginning and the end, and wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Does the general know which woman it is?"
"I don't know, but if I knew, it wouldn't be so difficult. You are a local, you help to inquire, if you know, it will not be less of your benefits. β
Ximo nodded.
General Wang said dejectedly: "I shouldn't have come after all." There are some evil sects in this Jiangcheng. People are evil, things are evil. That Xue Rencun is also a bastard, but I will go back and join him fiercely. Such a person should not be an official. Although there is no official who is not greedy, at a critical moment, he has to stand up and make a show and support the faΓ§ade. It's better for him to roll up all the gold and silver. β
Ximo also hated Rencun, so he took his words and said: "But this is the case, such a person should be killed." β
"Yes, yes, you should be killed."
Another hour passed, and General Wang found that it was not good to stay any longer, so he still walked away.
As soon as he left, on his back foot, this Qian Xiaowu knelt down abruptly in front of Shi Ximo. Ximo was startled. He and Qian Xiaowu didn't have this drama.
The old man's family is all acting.
himself and Qian Xiaowu are just acting.
What is he doing when he kneels like this?
Ximo called him up.
Qian Xiaowu refused to get up, in front of the people on the street, Qian Xiaowu's voice was extremely sincere: "Uncle Shi, you saved me." You are my reincarnation benefactor, and my father and mother cannot compare with you. β
Ximo was surprised, what did this Qian Xiaowu want to say?
The crowd of onlookers was also surprised and curious.
Qian Xiaowu not only didn't get up, but his voice choked up: "Uncle Shi, if it weren't for you, I would still be the robber who didn't know what to do, and I only went deeper and deeper into the waterway, and it was you who made me lose my way." I thank you, I thank you for your eight generations of ancestors......" Qian Xiaowu kowtowed to Ximo again.
Qian Xiaowu is naturally inconvenient to talk about Fang Cai's play, but he is truly grateful to Shi Ximo.
If it weren't for him, he would have gone farther and farther on the evil path, and it was Shi Ximo who pulled him in time. That's right, he also thought about recruiting An. But that's an evil path. Now that the faint king is in charge, the world is in chaos. He also thought about recruiting An, that is, aiding and abusing.
The only way to follow Uncle Shi is to go to Yanshan and take another road.
Because he has a direction and a goal, Qian Xiaowu's heart is extremely firm. He has made an oath in his heart: no matter what happens in the future, he will follow Shi Ximo, protect him, and be his bodyguard.
In this way, this Shi Ximo's prestige in Jiangcheng is even higher.
Originally, Shi Ximo's reputation was not bad, but he kept a deliberately low profile. Unexpectedly, among the people in the city, the only one who scared and respected Qian Xiaowu was Shi Ximo, the eldest son of the Shi family. For a while, someone asked Ximo to simply settle in the yamen and act on behalf of Xue Rencun. Ximo refused.
He promised like the people of Jiangcheng that no matter whether Qian Xiaowu was there in the future, whether there was too much control or not, this Jiangcheng would be as quiet as ever.
Ximo is very sure: once the wind passes, this Rencun will come back. But once he returns, it will be his death. In the end, he offended the people's anger.
Ximo has no official position.
He is the son of Shi Yuan, and he has also passed the imperial examination, and if there is no accident, the imperial court will also grant an official and a half position. Coincidentally, the first emperor died that year, and there were many doubts about the cause of death.
If he and Qian Xiaowu leave, then the people of Jiangcheng will need to be self-governing, and there should indeed be someone in charge. Ximo thought of a person, Liu Jianran. He immediately wrote two letters, one to inform Yun Zhan that he would return to Yanshan in a few days; One told Liu Jianran about Jiangcheng, Ximo knew that he didn't have anything particularly important recently, so it was better to go back to Jiangcheng.
The willow sword was able to dye the letter, and he quickly returned with a whip.
Ximo took Qian Xiaowu with him and drank with the sword dyeing restaurant. Qian Xiaowu was also equally respectful to Jian Ran.
Jian Ran laughed heartily: "Ximo, you did surprise me. β
"But I don't like it. How did you kill the bandits in the lonely mountain? This is also what Ximo cares about.
The lonely mountain bandits, different from Qian Xiaowu, are all a gang of outlaws, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and they do not repent.
"I killed a few leaders, and I let them run away for the rest."
"Why?"
"For the rest of the people, I chopped off their left ears one by one, and once they come out again, I will know who they are, so it will not be difficult to kill them again."
"Why do you want to?"
"I like that."
Ximo thought about it, so he didn't ask. In the end, Ken Dye has his reasons, although it is a little weird, but it is not out of line.
Liu Jianran raised his glass to Qian Xiaowu again: "Thief, I also toast you." β
Qian Xiaowu is naturally respectful and not as obedient.
"Congratulations, Ximo, and another obedient dead man."
Ximo shook his head: "You better say something nice." β
That Qian Xiaowu drank wine, in his heart
was happy, and began to talk nonsense: "Master Liu, I can't die, a fortune teller told me that in this life, I have the life to be a general!" β
Liu Jianran laughed.
"Really!" Qian Xiaowu patted his chest again and promised.
