Half a month later.

In the city lord's mansion in Gusu City, Liao Cheng was honored to be able to sit at the same table and drink tea with Yuan Qing, the prince of King Wu.

After coming to this Gusu City with the people of the Five Peerless Hall, Liao Cheng turned white overnight, and Yuan Qing collected the medicine that returned to black with white hair, so that Liao Cheng's spirit returned.

The hall master of the Five Peerless Hall, with Liao Cheng's current status in Yuan Qing's heart, can arrange more than 5,000 people steadily and become a cavalry army all the way.

In addition to the size of the general's rank, there is also a hard standard, that is, how many people are under his hands, and how many elites there are.

There are more than 5,000 people, which is a big deal for Liao Cheng, with these 5,000 people, Liao Cheng can completely take his status in Gusu City to a higher level, become a decent general, and he is also very decent when he goes out.

Yuan Qing took a sip of the big red robe, feeling a little tasteless, drinking tea, Yuan Qing didn't like it, and he was not addicted.

It's just that many times when drinking tea, it's either out of politeness or morality.

Gradually, I also got into the habit of drinking tea.

Yuan Qing said: "Now, do you know what it's like to be a master?"

Liao Cheng is very haggard, the pain of losing his father, not many people can afford it, since his father died, Liao Cheng has really grown up.

Bitterly replied: "I know, but I don't know so much, I thought that I could let my father come over, take the people of the Five Peerless Hall, and arrange a miscellaneous general to do something behind our backs that is inconvenient for us to do in person, but I never thought that it would be such an ending." ”

Yuan Qing said: "You are already the hall master of the Five Peerless Hall, I will never interfere in your own affairs, as long as it is in general, in line with the rules and principles, I will also take it lightly." ”

"In the future, if you are lucky, you and your Wujue Hall can almost be a hairpin for generations, if you are unlucky, in this world of great contention, you will only be a dog, even if it is me, it is the same. ”

"People are actually not so noble and low, and between life and death, they are all the same pitiful and helpless. ”

"It's just that people want to forcibly create high and low, and of course, this is order. ”

"For the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, this kind of order actually has no meaning, but for people, this kind of order will make the world of the human race gradually settle down. ”

"After the autumn, there will be a bitter battle in the old Xishu, if the old Xishu Pang Sect is defeated, my father will appear on the battlefield, when the time comes, Daqin is very likely to divide the army into two ways, one way to compete with my father, and the other way, is to go south to the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Land war, our Great Wei does not take advantage of it, and it is already a great honor not to annihilate the whole army. ”

Liao Cheng asked suspiciously: "His Royal Highness King Wu, can't you keep the Great Qin Iron Cavalry out of the country?"

After asking this question, Liao Cheng suddenly understood, and Yuan Qing did not answer Liao Cheng's questions.

It's a simple truth.

If Yuan Tieshan can take full control of the war, it will naturally be able to keep the Great Qin Iron Cavalry out of the country, it will be a protracted battle, and the Great Qin will not take any advantage, and Yuan Tieshan will not get any benefits, after all, it is something that costs the people and money.

However, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Wei did not want to do this.

would rather torture Yuan Tieshan's military talent than let his foundation be shaken in the slightest.

came to Gusu City with the Five Peerless Hall, and he didn't get Yuan Qing's reward, because Yuan Qing really didn't need a Jianghu gate like the Five Peerless Hall.

Liao Cheng can take the Five Peerless Halls to settle down in Gusu City, more than half of them rely on their own skills, and Yuan Qing is not the kind of person who grabs power, he is upright and upright.

With this façade, Liao Cheng can fight a protracted war, and he did not get carried away because he became a powerful general.

The people of the Five Peerless Hall did not receive their military salaries every month as they wished, and they still ate their old books.

As for the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the Wujue Hall did not interfere, in other words, after Liao Cheng took over the Wujue Hall, he not only had to worry about settling down, but also about the rations of the brothers.

The reason why Liao Cheng is reluctant to let the fifth uncle and them take people to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes is because Yuanqing's military brigade, the military is the military, and he will definitely not form a party with the Jianghu court.

This is the rule, once this rule is broken, Yuanqing's road will not go far.

And Liao Cheng will definitely not cause trouble to Yuan Qing.

For the time being, it can only be like this, whether the Five Peerless Hall can make a comeback, it will depend on whether the battlefield can get oil and water in the future.

At first, Yuan Qing originally planned to give the power of the Five Peerless Hall to his younger brother Yuan Lin, but Yuan Lin is now an idle person, and his father can set up a cavalry army for Yuan Lin, and he can recruit the people of the Five Peerless Hall.

But doing so is not very kind, and it may also chill Liao Cheng's heart.

If it is to transition to his third brother, it is not good, and Yuan Qing at this time is really not suitable for getting too close to the third brother.

Therefore, the Five Peerless Halls can only be put aside for the time being, and there is no other way.

Liao Cheng wanted to follow Yuan Qing to do big things, but Yuan Qing himself didn't know what the real big thing was, you were the prince of King Wu, in fact, Yuan Qing had no extra choice, he could only be loyal to the king of Sheji, at least for now.

If you think about it, only the third brother Yuan Zheng is the one who really does big things.

And if you want to do great things, the most important thing is to have absolute freedom.

......

......

Hanzhou, Wuwangfu.

In the days of walking in front of the court, probably only literati will like it, but Takeo only likes to do such things occasionally.

Yuan Lin accompanied his father to walk in front of the court, in fact, from childhood to adulthood, Yuan Qing and Yuan Lin really didn't have too frequent exchanges with Yuan Tieshan, because the two sons were not by Yuan Tieshan's side, most of the time, boring nonsense, heart-to-heart These words were said by Yuan Tieshan to his youngest son.

Today's Yuan Tieshan is calm and calm, without the frivolity of weekdays.

Yuan Lin knew that his father had something in his heart, and asked curiously: "If there is something in my father's heart, he can say it directly, and there is no need to brew it like this." ”

"The wait is long, and I can't guess what my father is thinking. ”

"You and I, father and son, don't have to be so overly foreshadowed. ”

Yuan Tieshan was originally worried, but when he heard Yuan Lin say this, his breath was relieved a lot.

asked softly: "Now that your eldest brother has become the son of the world, and your third brother is also messing around a lot of things outside, you are a rich and noble idler, could it be that you have no ambition in your heart?"

Ambition is the most important thing for a man.

It was because of his great ambition that Yuan Tieshan became today's martial king.

But Yuan Lin's performance in recent days has made Yuan Tieshan a little confused, saying that Yuan Lin is a person from the rivers and lakes, in fact, Yuan Lin really has no rivers and lakes, saying that Yuan Lin is a literati and ink writer, although he is slightly talented in poetry and songs, but Yuan Lin has never been a literati.

If Yuanlin is allowed to become a general, but Yuanlin is practicing swordsmanship, and kendo is not suitable for catching and killing on the battlefield.

Between the rivers and lakes and the temple, it is the most true portrayal of Yuanlin.

When Yuan Lin heard this, he was puzzled: "Could it be that my father wants me to find a way to pull down the position of the eldest brother's son, and then I, the second oldest, will take the throne, and finally inherit the throne of the martial king, sweep the world, and achieve eternal meritorious deeds?"

Yuan Tieshan said in a deep voice: "Be serious, I really asked you this question again." ”

In the history books, there are many allusions to the battle for succession, all of them are the one who is silent, and finally gains the general trend and grasps the absolute dominance, and at present, Yuanlin is very in line with such standards.

Most men don't say no to power.

Even those high-ranking people who live in seclusion really taste the sweetness of power, it is inevitable that they will mess up their hearts, and there are many such examples throughout the ages.

Yuan Lin said: "My father asked me this, and I don't know how to answer. ”

"The eldest brother has the affairs of the eldest brother, and the third brother has the affairs of the third brother, but I don't have my own affairs, but as a swordsman, I am the son of the martial king, which is not suitable. ”

"As a military general, under my father's command, more or less, there will be some signs of party strife, I can only keep silent and do nothing, so that the overall situation is the best. ”

"In both cases, my identity has already defined my position. ”

"On the battlefield, I am not very interested in the ambition of winning and losing, and if I am allowed to fight a few beautiful victories, I may be proud for a while. ”

"The rivers and lakes are higher than the temples, and I yearn for such fierce things as the rivers and lakes, but even if the rivers and lakes are higher than the temples, what can it be, in the end, I still have to be lonely to repay. ”

Yuan Tieshan turned around, looked at Yuan Lin in surprise, and praised: "Why didn't I find out before?"

Yuan Lin asked with some confusion: "What exactly does Father refer to?"

Yuan Tieshan smiled heartily: "Why didn't I find out before, your life realm is already so high." ”

"There is the style of a hermit, but he is not a hermit, more like a four-like. ”

"If only everyone in the world were like you, there wouldn't be so many wars. ”

Yuan Lin said: "My father called me here today, there should be other things, let's say, what do you need me to do?"

With the Meridian Holy Sword in hand, if you are really idle and have nothing to do, then you really can't talk about it.

Yuan Tieshan said: "I have a matter, I need you to go to the border of Great Xia, on the bank of the Red River, to investigate the enemy's situation, I estimate that Great Xia will soon have movement, after the battle of Old Western Shu, Great Xia will reveal its true face." ”

"You are my son, and it is inconvenient for me to send the rest of the people to this matter, because the rest of the people are all preparing for battle, and as a rich idler, you are the most suitable to do this. ”

Yuan Lin didn't react much, just sighed.

Yuan Tieshan asked: "Do you need the elite in the horn tip to accompany you, although your martial arts cultivation is good, but your fists are hard to beat your four legs, and the Meridian Holy Sword is sharp, but it is difficult for one person to support it alone." ”

Yuan Lin responded in a dashing manner: "Father is too worried, I can go with Jiang Ling to go to this matter, change my appearance, and be virtuous with ordinary people." ”

"It's just a trip to the mountains and rivers, but I declare in advance that if I can find useful information, my father doesn't have to reward me too much, if Jiang Ling and I go to the bank of the Red River, how to go, how to come back, my father should not mind. ”

"As a spy, I'm definitely not the one who is qualified. ”

Yuan Tieshan said softly: "You go, just let it go, and your father won't give you much expectation, but you are my son, and one day, you will also lead the army and appear on the battlefield." ”

"Your eldest brother has learned Wen Taowu since he was a child, so he can directly get started with things in the military temple, although he is inexperienced, but the way is still clear. ”

"And you, four are not like one, I can only explain some things to you, look at it, your instrument can have geometry. ”

When you grow up, it's not freedom, but you have to face endless troubles, if there is no trouble, it is also trouble, and if there is trouble, it is even more trouble.

Yuan Lin took a deep breath and asked, "When will I leave?"

Yuan Tieshan said: "You can set off with Jiang Ling while your mother is not paying attention." ”

Yuan Lin said with a smile: "My father secretly arranged for me to go to the bank of the Red River, if my mother knows, she will definitely be with my father, and when the time comes, how should my father deal with himself?"

Yuan Tieshan said in a low voice: "When the time comes, it will be my business, even if the sky is thunderous, I will not change my original intention." ”

Yuan Lin smiled and turned to leave.

Yuan Tieshan deliberately glanced at Yuan Lin's back, and felt that it was not bad, with a slender physique and outstanding demeanor, but his mind was really a little unfathomable.

Just as Yuan Tieshan was deep in thought, Chen Yu teleported from a distance, which startled Yuan Tieshan and asked, "What kind of thing can make the military advisor show off his martial arts cultivation in front of me?"

Chen Yu quipped: "It's not a very important thing, it's just that Liu Cangyue is here." ”

Yuan Tieshan paused, and his arrogance suddenly withered a lot.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, Liu Cangyue was still wearing the plain clothes from the last time, without brocade clothes and jade belts, just a black water unicorn beast to accompany him.

On the table, pouring himself a drink, in the kitchen, he was busy with the food.

Yuan Tieshan came, and when he saw Liu Cangyue's momentum of the ancient well, he knew that something was wrong.

Sitting opposite Liu Cangyue, Yuan Tieshan carefully observed Liu Cangyue's face, and did not observe any signs.

This time, Liu Cangyue came secretly, and when he came here suddenly, even Chen Yu was surprised.

No greetings, no invitations, there must be something inside.

Yuan Tieshan sensed Liu Cangyue's martial arts cultivation, and actually reached the underworld, before he only entered the underworld with half a foot, but now he has really entered the underworld, it seems that in the recent days, people have reached middle age and have had an epiphany.

Liu Cangyue opened his mouth and said, "Yuan Tieshan, don't you want to ask me why I'm here?"

The tone was smooth, Ling Yuan Tieshan was a little confused, and asked rhetorically: "If you don't say it, how do I know." ”

Liu Cangyue looked at Yuan Tieshan's eyes very calmly, it was a gaze, and this gaze made Yuan Tieshan feel as if he was burdened with a lot of guilt.

Yuan Tieshan said in a deep voice: "What happened?"

Liu Cangyue said: "Zheng'er, you have already called my father, and he is in my palace, have you ever known about this matter?"

Yuan Tieshan was struck by lightning, and his whole heart was swaying, such a major matter, Yuan Tieshan didn't even know.

In the past, Yuan Tieshan's biggest wish was to watch Yuan Zheng start a family one day, and watch his grandson jump alive in front of his eyes.

It's good right now, I don't even know what happened, Yuan Zheng has already called other men his father, Yuan Tieshan is a little confused, and he feels very sorry for Yuan Zheng.

Yuan Tieshan asked, "When did it happen?"

Liu Cangyue said: "It doesn't matter when it happened, the most important thing is that I thought it would be you who accompanied Zheng'er to me to talk about your daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect that it was Zheng'er's master who accompanied Zheng'er, and you didn't even know about it." ”

"As a person who is Lao Tzu, you are really a little excessive. ”

Yuan Tieshan was speechless, he shouldn't know how to reply to Liu Cangyue at all, although now the two families have become in-laws.

Liu Cangyue said: "The last time I came, you were hesitant and refused to tell me the truth, this time, Zheng'er told me the truth, the things that should be known are known, and the things that should not be known have been known." ”

"Although I feel that this son-in-law is a little distracted in my heart, this is also a person's life, and there is no way to refuse. ”

"Today, I won't talk about political affairs, I'll ask you, if Zheng'er really raises troops to rebel one day, are you loyal to the Great Wei or the Yuan family. ”

This question is a bit heart-wrenching.

Yuan Tieshan said with a sad face: "Can I not answer this question? You obviously know that what I am doing is actually wrong. ”

Liu Cangyue smiled indifferently and said, "Also, you are the Martial King, there is no extra choice." ”

"But I have one thing to tell you. ”

"In the future, if Zheng'er really takes the road of raising troops to rebel, no matter what his luck is, I will look to my son-in-law, not my king. ”

"The hat of King Zhongxian has limited my life, and I really don't want to be suppressed by this hat. ”

Yuan Tieshan was shocked and said: "In-laws, don't be impulsive, if you make any moves at this time, it will be difficult to do it there." ”

Liu Cangyue said: "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Yuan Tieshan was speechless again, when he reached the realm of Liu Cangyue, he had never seen any strong winds and waves, and there were some things, of course, it was better to know how to do them.

After thinking about it, Yuan Tieshan said: "If you really make such a decision, I will also support you, but I am now the pillar of Great Wei, and I can't help myself, if I have the opportunity to reunite with you, then I will meet again, if there is no chance, then there is no chance." ”

Liu Cangyue's eyes widened, looked at Yuan Tieshan and said, "You don't want to ......"

Yuan Tieshan said: "There are some things that someone has to do." ”
