Old South Vietnam, Jiu Zhen County.

In Jiuzhen County in summer, the herbal tea business is naturally excellent, hot and humid, which is the main tone of Jiuzhen County.

The people in Jiuzhen County already knew that Liao Cheng hugged the thigh of the prince of Wuwang, just like the relationship between Chen Yu and Yuan Tieshan back then, it didn't seem to be like that.

The slaughter of the city back then, in the hearts of the older generation, is still vivid.

Wujuetang, as the backbone of the old South Yue rivers and lakes, can it still stand straight?

Defecting to the son of the great enemy, this is really a bit too much to say.

Liao Cheng returned to Jiuzhen County alone, but he was alone, and he didn't even ride his own dragon scale horse.

Because Liao Cheng was also afraid in his heart, afraid of being poked in the back, when he answered Yuan Qing, Liao Cheng said that he was not afraid, but he was still afraid in his heart.

The people in the old neighborhood are the soft knives that kill people without seeing blood.

Back at home, Liao Hanxing prepared hot tea for his son, and in the empty room, there were only father and son.

The bench is a little old, and it is suspected that there are also traces that have been used by children to cause depictions, and they are very incomplete.

Liao Cheng sat on the hard bench, feeling that his whole person had disappeared a lot of fatigue since his achievement.

The hard bed is the most relieving of fatigue, while the soft bed can only be relieved more and more tired.

Liao Chengdao: "I mean, we can give up the brothers of the Five Peerless Halls, transfer them to Gusu City, the land of old Nanyue." ”

Liao Hanxing seems to have aged a lot, his face is a little pale, his son did not enter the temple as an official, but entered the army, the son of King Wu, among young people, is also an unshakable behemoth.

This way out is naturally excellent.

Liao Hanxing said: "What does His Royal Highness the Prince mean?"

Liao Cheng said: "That's what I mean. ”

Liao Hanxing understood that there was still a difference between rivers and lakes and temples after all, and there was no way to mix them up.

Qi Guanzhou, as one of the six generals in the past, now, although he is still under the façade of Yuan Tieshan, Liao Hanxing doesn't know what he has done behind his back.

Yuan Qing plans to take over the Five Peerless Hall, probably because of Yuan Lin.

The Meridian Holy Sword, in Yuan Lin's hands, Yuan Lin naturally had to find a way to pay off this favor.

Objectively speaking, the usefulness of the Five Peerless Hall to the prince of Wuwang is actually very little, and Yuan Qing is not so concerned about the things on the rivers and lakes.

It's a love house and a black house, and a pond fish.

Liao Hanxing said: "I have been in the rivers and lakes since I was a child, and I don't know much about things in the temple, and I have dealt with Qi Guanzhou for so many years, in fact, I don't have any feelings, it's just a life, and I have to get by." ”

"You are a scholar, and now you can be regarded as following a master, from your point of view, where can you go under the command of the prince of Wuwang in the future, and in the future, will our Five Peerless Hall be broken?"

In today's Five Peerless Hall, not to mention that it is divided, it is almost the same.

The rightists have been completely bought by Qi Guanzhou, and Liao Hanxing, the hall master, has no way to do what he says and monopolize power, and Liao Hanxing can only watch many helpless things.

Liao Cheng pondered: "Where to go, in fact, I don't know, Yuan Qing is a good master, and what he does is worthy of the three words of a husband." ”

Liao Hanxing smiled bitterly, this old Nanyue, this Wujue Hall, seems to have an inextricable relationship with the people of the Yuan family in this era.

Wujue Hall joined the army, what can be done, even Liao Cheng himself doesn't know.

Jianghu people have joined the army, and in most cases, they will not die well, because this is a fight for jobs with serious soldiers, and there will be civil and military disputes, left and right disputes, and benefit disputes.

Liao Cheng is also not absolutely sure, and he can place the entire Five Peerless Hall in Gusu City safely.

Come to think of it, it's also sad.

When I was young, I thought I had read a lot of books, done a lot of things, and had good connections.

But when it comes to the big thing of life and death, everything is so pale.

Although Yuan Qing will not dislike Liao Cheng's Five Peerless Hall, Liao Cheng himself also knows that if the Five Peerless Hall goes to Gusu City and can't even do a little bit of it, Yuan Qing is also helpless, self-improvement and self-reliance, which is the eternal truth.

When you are in your twenties, you can really understand the world.

Liao Hanxing understands the pain in his son's heart.

Then he said, "I'll call your uncles over and talk about it together." ”

Liao Cheng snorted.

Liao Hanxing walked out of his courtyard, and after a while, five old people who were over half a hundred years old came here one after another.

Sitting around a table, the kitchen has prepared food and drinks.

It's been a long time since I've eaten my hometown.

Liao Cheng eats very tastefully, chews slowly, and looks like a serious reader.

These uncles have loved Liao Cheng since childhood, and they once regarded Liao Cheng as the pillar of the future, for no other reason, just because Liao Cheng is a scholar.

Liao Hanxing gave the five brothers a glass of wine and said: "In the future, you will follow Cheng'er, Gusu City, I have heard of it, but in general, I have never been to Gusu City, I heard that it is a very beautiful place." ”

The fifth uncle was slightly fat, his face was black and red, and his rude appearance on weekdays couldn't be seen at all today.

said: "It's okay, since it is Cheng'er's decision, then let's go to Gusu City, change a place, change a feng shui, but the rest of the people always have to follow Qi Guanzhou, it's a pity to think about it, there are so many people, who used to be the stars of hope in the Five Peerless Hall." ”

Speaking of the rest of the people, the hearts of several people sank.

At a certain age, there will be different positions, and this is understandable.

What kind of benefits Qi Guanzhou can give to those people, Liao Hanxing doesn't know, Fifth Uncle doesn't know, but in general, the people of the year are still the people of the year, and the people of the present are not the people of the present.

Several uncles were silent and acquiesced in the matter.

These people, basically all their lives, have been in Jiuzhen County, in the rivers and lakes of old South Vietnam, and they just left, they will not be sad in their hearts, and I am afraid that no one will believe it.

"A total of more than 5,000 people, went to Gusu City, if His Royal Highness the Prince does not dislike it, maybe, can also form a foot army, we Nanren are short in stature, good at horses, not good at horses, if you ride an army, don't count on it." ”

"When the time comes, don't expect too much. ”

"It's the same everywhere, how much ability you have, how big a job you have. ”

When several uncles heard this, their hearts were very sour, and the Wujue Hall with infinite scenery in the old South Vietnam was gone forever.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, a few people did not have extra greetings, what kind of words did they have, and when they went to Gusu City, they could say it slowly.

The uncles knew in their hearts and left silently.

In another three days, the Five Peerless Halls will completely fall apart, some people will follow behind Liao Cheng, and the remaining people will become Qi Guanzhou's people.

There is no such thing as an eagle dog, it's just a different position.

I don't know how long it took for Qi Guanzhou and the military Fan Yi to come.

The rumor of the wind is nowhere to be found, and when Liao Cheng came back, he actually didn't alarm anyone, but Qi Guanzhou didn't know where he learned the news of Liao Cheng's return.

Since you have come, you naturally have to treat each other with courtesy.

Qi Guanzhou said eagerly: "My nephew came back from Gusu City, I want to come with a whole body of glory, and now I am following by His Royal Highness the Prince, and I can expect a great cause in the future." ”

Liao Cheng bowed slightly and said: "Uncle said that I was laughing, I was just a newborn calf, I joined the army by mistake, and the opportunity is a little better, compared with a military general like my uncle, I am still too young." ”

Qi Guanzhou laughed, sat on the chair, and Liao Cheng personally poured a cup of tea for Qi Guanzhou.

Fan Yi said: "How long will you live here when you come back this time? You don't know, in the days when you are away, your father always mentions you in front of us, and I miss you in my heart." ”

Liao Hanxing laughed on the side and said nothing, Fan Yi was telling the truth and falsehood.

Liao Cheng poured a cup of tea for Fan Yi and said: "This time I came back, I probably have to live for a while, and when the time comes, there are many incurable diseases in the art of war, and I hope that the uncle of the military division will give him advice, and now he can be regarded as a member of the army, even if he knows that he is a half-person, he always has to pretend to be a real demeanor." ”

Qi Guanzhou laughed and said, "Nephew, uncle, as a person who has come over, can only tell you like this." ”

"When I joined the army, I went for glory and wealth, killing people and setting fires, getting promoted and making a fortune, and this has been the case since ancient times. ”

"When I first joined the army, because I could still read and write more or less, I mixed well in the army, but in fact, it was only because I was more bookish and angry than those reckless men that I became a treasure. ”

"At first, I was very proud, a lot of people let me, I lost my temper, and those people wouldn't do anything to me, they just laughed at it. ”

"Later, when the war really started, I realized that the reckless men I had always looked down on were the real hot-blooded men. ”

"They know how to pretend to be dead, and they are not afraid of death, every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood is what they fought for, and they are not stingy to teach me many small ways in war. ”

"In short, my nephew should not look down on any reckless man just because he is a scholar, this world, in fact, from ancient times to the present, is the world of reckless people, as for ordinary people and scholars, it is a later product. ”

Liao Cheng listened to it with relish, because what Qi Guanzhou said was not false at all.

In the past, Liao Cheng felt that he was a scholar, but in fact, he still looked down on reckless men somewhat, but now he really doesn't have it.

In the army, there are not many people who can read and break words, but the truth that those people understand is understood from the battlefield, and it is also understood from the sophistication of human feelings, just like stinky tofu, it smells stinky and tastes delicious.

Qi Guanzhou seemed to have opened the conversation, and said with disdain: "People, they are all beasts, in fact, it is very ridiculous. ”

"The scholars in the bustling city, or a cloth cloth in the homes of ordinary people, or the sons and daughters who have been dressed and eaten since childhood, they have a good life, they will never be worried because they are hungry, nor will they lack the gentleness of the girl, and they will not lack advanced connections, as for the silver, there are also ways to get it. ”

"On the other hand, in those poor and remote places, the older generation, in order to feed their children and grandchildren, always leave food for the young people, and the children in the mountains, if the mountains still have resources to be found, they can also have food and clothing all day long, but if they are in the land of poor mountains and bad waters, famine is also common. ”

"However, whenever the family and country are in trouble, there are young people who go out of the mountains, even if they are poor and white, but they still have a life, for life, for their homeland, for the country, they go to the battlefield. ”

On the other hand, those who have lacked nothing since childhood, those who have a pair of good parents, have encountered a real difficulty, either becoming a traitor or a miser, with only themselves in their hearts, but no world. ”

"The children of poor families should be unlucky by nature, and in troubled times, the children of poor families take the lead, and the children of rich families have become turtles with shrunken heads. ”

"Don't look down on people who are not born well in the future, because they are the backbone of a country. ”

"People who have concerns and are consumed by interests only have themselves, and have no home and country. ”

Liao Chengshen bowed and said, "Thank you uncle for your advice." ”

Qi Guanzhou seemed to think of some past events, when Qi Guanzhou was a child of a poor family, he still remembered how the son of the landlord looked down on him.

Later, Qi Guanzhou got his will, and the son of the landlord's family also mixed well, at least he didn't die of hunger, and finally had a serious illness before he died.

As a martial artist, Qi Guanzhou is successful, and as a literati, Qi Guanzhou is also a half-hanger.

Thinking back on his past, and at this moment, Qi Guanzhou actually didn't have much feeling in his heart, because it was all in the past.

It's just that the older you get, the more you think.

Liao Chengdao: "After listening to my uncle's teachings today, I should be in the army in the future, and I should take a lot less detours." ”

Qi Guanzhou got up, patted Liao Cheng on the shoulder and said: "Your own way, just walk by yourself, don't look at how others are, some people have good lives, and without hard work, you can easily get everything that ordinary people dream of." ”

"Some people have a bad life, even if they live or die, they will not starve to death if they die. ”

"You won't understand the truth now, but when you reach my age, you will know. ”

Qi Guanzhou left, and Liao Cheng personally sent Qi Guanzhou out of the door, with mixed feelings in his heart.

As a military general, he should have the bearing, obviously his position is not in harmony, but he still taught Liao Cheng a lot of life experience.

The battle of wills is probably just a teenager.

Back in the house, Liao Cheng's heart gradually quieted down, Qi Guanzhou came, and from beginning to end, he didn't take the initiative to say anything about Yuanqing, the son of King Wu.

Liao Cheng said to his father: "Early tomorrow morning, we can pack our bags and go to Gusu City." ”

Liao Hanxing nodded with a smile, feeling that his son had finally grown up.

You can all be on your own.

This time back in his hometown, Liao Cheng encountered the biggest event in his life.

I thought that after getting up the next day, I would pack my bags with my father, but my father didn't get up in the morning.

Liao Cheng went to his father's house to take a look, his father couldn't sleep, and left a suicide note on the table.

"Cheng'er, I have already explained the Five Peerless Halls to you, and you can only slowly explore the future by yourself. ”

"I am from the old South Vietnam, there is no extra choice, and Qi Guanzhou will not let me leave the old South Vietnam. ”

"Fortunately, you have grown up, and I have no worries in my heart. ”

"After I die, I can mourn and cross the Nine True Bridge. ”

"When the time comes, the people who are willing to accompany me on the last journey are the ones who can go to Gusu City. ”

"From now on, please be kind to yourself. ”

"Don't feel sad either, because that's life. ”

Liao Cheng thundered like five thunders, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, depressed and speechless.

Instead of crying, two lines of clear tears slipped and soaked my father's shoes.

Liao Hanxing, the master of the Five Peerless Hall, suddenly fell ill and died, causing an uproar in the entire Jiuzhen County.

Many people have a lot of discussions about this, some people say that Liao Hanxing was originally dying, probably because he wanted to see his son's last face, so he held on to that breath, and when his son came back, that breath naturally dispersed.

Some people also say that Liao Hanxing died in the struggle within the Five Peerless Hall, and he was exhausted.

There are different opinions, but in fact, no one cares whether this is true or false, but there is nothing to say, gossip, and the mouth is addicted.

When Qi Guanzhou in the General's Mansion learned the news, the whole person was stunned, and then let out a series of clear smiles.

Fan Yi said on the side: "There are already more than 5,000 people, escort Liao Hanxing on the last journey, and in two hours, you can cross the Jiuzhen Bridge, and please ask the general to quickly decide this matter." ”

"There are some people, but they know our handle, although it is only in the clouds, but when they get to the prince of Wuwang, it is inevitable that they will make a big fuss. ”

Qi Guanzhou waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "That's it, let them go." ”

Fan Yi looked at Qi Guanzhou blankly.

Qi Guanzhou said: "Actually, Liao Hanxing and I have been fighting openly and secretly for all these years, which is also a very interesting thing, we are friends and enemies. ”

"It's a partner who uses each other. ”

"Liao Hanxing is a good person, but it's a pity that a good person doesn't have a good life, but fortunately, he gave birth to a good son. ”

"For the sake of his son, he ended his life, and he can be regarded as a husband. ”

"How can I ......?"

Qi Guanzhou never thought that Liao Hanxing could be so decisive in doing things.

This move of the sword went sideways, leaving Qi Guanzhou speechless, even if a large army was sent to stop the mourning team at this time, what could it be?

Besides, no one will know whether the concubine of King Wu has led the dragoon army and appeared outside the Jiuzhen Bridge.

Indifferent, because of the friendship of these years, because of the earthy smell of this old South Vietnam.
