In a small village in Mangcao County, Qingzhou, there lives a young student of eighteen or nineteen years old. His parents died early, and he was self-reliant since he was a child.

He was born with strong muscles and bones, and his strength was much greater than that of ordinary people.

Don't look at him as having brute strength, but his figure is tall and slender, his sword eyebrows are broad, his eyes are still heroic, but he is even more bookish.

His source of livelihood is to chop and sell firewood, occasionally hunt, and sell some game.

Although it has been two years since he moved to Mangcao County, because of his arrogant, shy and cold personality, the enthusiasm of the villagers has gradually been extinguished.

He didn't talk much, and there was no one in the village to talk to him. He is cold on the outside, but in fact he is hot on the inside, always in a place where people can't see, silently contributing.

Whoever has lost their cattle and sheep can always find them at the door of their house the next day. At night, for the lonely and widowed elderly, plowing the fields and weeding is a common thing.

But no one knows who this person who has been doing good things quietly is. Some people even think that it is the manifestation of the land lord and kowtows every day to worship.

Every day at dawn, he went up to the mountains alone to chop wood, hunt, and go to the market to sell. The sun sets, and then returns silently.

Day after day, he didn't feel that these days were long, he just felt that this was the way life should be.

Until one day, his life was finally disrupted by a group of people.

In a deep mountain in Mancao County, there is a nest of thieves, headed by Ha Er, with a total of sixteen people. I don't do anything all day long, I nest in a cave, and enjoy the tributes that the inhabitants of the mountain send every day.

I heard that this Ha Er is not small, and he once spent a few days in the Tongtian Sect, and learned a few kung fu tricks so-so.

Later, because of his lazy nature, he didn't last for a few days, and sneaked out again, pulled a group of lazy idle oil heads, and formed a 'bully team' to oppress the simple and honest villagers in the small village. to obtain unearned substances.

Although the village chief sued the county government several times, he was sunk in the sea, there was no sound, and when Ha Er got the news, he beat him up again. How did he know that the county magistrate had already been bought by Ha Er, but he just turned a blind eye.

Large-scale exploitation has overwhelmed the people. I can't support several people in my own family, and I have to support a dozen or twenty rough men on the mountain. Finally, one day, the villagers had no extra food to pay tribute, and they were so hungry that Ha Er's gang was forced down the mountain.

Ha Er carried a big sickle, led more than a dozen groups of people, and swaggered and swaggered from house to house, which was not enough, he saw a pretty girl again, and his lust gradually rose, and he actually wanted to turn people back to be the wife of the village.

The girl's family refused, and under the stalemate, they were bumped into by the young offspring who was hurrying home, and without saying a word, picking up the stick was a violent beating.

How could Ha Er's three-legged cat be worthy of the iron arm of the next generation, but he was knocked to the ground after two or three clicks.

His group of fox friends and dog friends saw the power of the afterlife, and they had already run away after throwing away the food.

"Don't let me see you again! Get lost! Housheng scolded and let Ha Er go.

The righteous action of the later life won the love of the whole village and made them change their views on the future life.

Ha Er fled back to the thief's den, he was so angry in his heart, he was used to being domineering, how could he suffer from the pain of others. So, that night, he secretly went to the neighboring village to gather fox friends and dog friends who drank and gambled on weekdays, and secretly sneaked outside the thatched hut of the later life, poured lard, and happily set a fire!

The afterlife was unaware of it, and it was not until the smoke filled the smoke that he woke up from his sleep. By the time he tried to open the door and escape, the fire had already blocked the way.

Just when Ha Er was triumphant, there were a few "whoosh" sounds in the darkness, and Ha Er's hand holding the torch was knocked off, and the torch burned and ignited the grass roots under his feet, and the fire was so fast that it actually climbed up to him.

Fortunately, his companion put out the fire in time, so that Ha Er was spared.

"What people!" Ha Er scolded angrily into the night.

In the lush thatch, two people came out. One green and one white.

The man in white pointed at Ha Er and said, "Hugh wants to hurt people!" Otherwise, I want you to die in Jiuquan! ”

In the darkness, it was already blurred, and I heard him make an ethereal sound, which really frightened the group of people, and they even ran away with a crawl.

Looking at the thatched hut that was born later, the fire gradually went out, and the house was burned to the ground. Later life was rescued by a man in green clothes early on.

It is not difficult to guess that this green hundred is the Iron Immortal and the White Ugly Divine Doctor.

After the white ugly divine doctor and Changsheng rescued Housheng, they gave him another silver money to reset the family wealth, but Housheng categorically refused, and only wanted to worship the two chivalrous guests as teachers.

Tie Changsheng saw that he was born in the future, with peculiar muscles and bones, and was honest and loyal, so he promised to teach a few kung fu tricks, but refused to formally accept him as an apprentice, and made an agreement for a period of three months.

lived up to expectations, and in just three months, the next life learned the skill of immortality, and danced a good halberd sword.

At the time of parting, the white ugly divine doctor pointed out to the descendants: "I see that you are strong, why don't you go down the mountain and make a name?" The first is to realize its own value, and the second is to ensure local peace. ”

"I also hope that the heroes will show the way for the younger generations." The latter arched his hand.

"The third emperor's house can still go, you can try it." After the divine doctor finished speaking, he left with immortality.

The afterlife is transparent, and it is clear at one point. Immediately went down the mountain and rushed to the gate of Yidu Wangfu in Pei County, and after waiting patiently, he was finally discovered by Liu Che'er.

"What's your name? Why? Liu Che'er asked with interest the upright and majestic young man in front of him.

Hou Sheng showed a mouthful of white teeth and replied with a smile: "In Xiashangguan Zhanfeng, I am here for the prince, and I am willing to help the prince to peace in the world!" ”

Liu Che'er was stunned by Shangguan Zhanfeng's exclamation, and happily introduced him to the palace. Later, he was canonized as a general and ordered him to be in charge of all security matters in Peixian and the palace.

In the lobby of Yidu Palace, there is an endless stream of people. Civil and military attachés stood in two rows on the left and right. Among the civil officials, headed by Tangtai Mingyue, there are more than 15 people. Among the military attachés, there is an empty first place.

Above the lobby, Liu Che'er sat majestically, looked around, and asked the hall in a raised voice, "Where is the general?" ”

With the sound of the clash of iron armor, a majestic man walked in outside the door.

Huayan sat down quietly and glanced at him lightly.

It turned out that he was Shangguan Zhanfeng, he thought to himself, and slowly took a sip of tea.

Shangguan Zhan Feng knelt on one knee and arched his hand: "The minister sees the prince, the minister has just returned from the barracks, and there are some delays on the way, please forgive the prince." ”

Liu Che'er flicked his hand and motioned for him to get up, "It's okay, just in time." Take your seat. ”

"Yes!" Shangguan Zhan Feng got up, glanced sideways at Hua Yan, turned around and returned to his place to stand.

Liu Che'er suddenly got up and introduced Huayan and Xiao Minglang to everyone: "As you can see, these two are the king's guests, the king's friends, and the king's right-hand man. They are, Miss Huayan and Xiao Minglang. It is a blessing for this king to have your civil and military talents, and now he has two treasures, and this king is honored. From now on, Wu, led by Xiao Gongzi, and Wen will all obey the command of Miss Hua, and you must obey their orders, and their words, just like the words of this king, cannot be disobeyed. Do you understand? ”

Yutai Mingyue happily led everyone to reply: "Obey! ”

"Miss Painted Face? But she is a woman's ......" Shangguan Zhanfeng suddenly objected.

"What about women? Who says women are inferior to men? Hua Yan put down the teacup and smiled sideways at him.

Shangguan Zhan Feng hurriedly leaned over and arched his hand: "The minister definitely doesn't mean to look down on women. The minister only felt that working in the men's pile would make Miss Hua inconvenient. ”

I can't see it, but it's a talker. Hua Yan thought to herself, and looked at him with interest. I saw that his appearance was as calm as water, and his bow was neither humble nor arrogant, just right.

It's a steady stake. Huayan and Xiao Minglang secretly glanced at each other again, and nodded in approval.

Liu Che'er said with a smile: "This is even more worrying, Yan'er has been a boy since he was a child, and this king is a little worried about your ......" He paused for a while, sat back in his seat, and said to Shantai Mingyue: "Okay, let's get down to business, Shantai Mingyue, you can explain it for everyone, and the world will return to the map!" ”

"Yes!" Yutai Mingyue arched his hand, he raised his chest, walked a few steps towards the center of the hall, and said to everyone: "The world is strife, the court is unstable, and the border has repeatedly violated our dynasty, and now we have reached the point where we have to take action!" It can be seen that the strength of the world is complex, but it is generally divided into four branches, and four branches are derived from six. As long as the division of forces is clearly understood, then the overall situation of the country will be almost calculated. He swallowed his saliva and continued: "Let's talk about four branches first, one imperial court, headed by Xie Hui, 400,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Yizhen, King of the Second Luling, 30,000. Liu Yikang, King of Sanpengcheng, 50,000. Fourth, it is the prince, 100,000. He pointed to Liu Che'er and said.

"Who are the other two?" Shangguan Zhan Feng asked awe-inspiringly.

Yutai Mingyue replied: "Derived from the army of the imperial court, the first is Tan Daoji, with 200,000 soldiers and horses. The second is Zhu Chaoshi, who has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. ”

"What's next?" Shangguan Zhanfeng asked.

Tantai Mingyue continued without stopping: "General, don't worry, listen to me one by one. What does the unification of the world depend on in the end? Or military power! Whoever has more soldiers, who sits on the most stable country!

King Pengcheng has always been good friends with the prince, and in my opinion, it should not be difficult to win him over as soon as possible, not to mention that King Pengcheng has long had the heart to support the prince.

The second is Zhu Chaoshi, he has long been dissatisfied with the imperial court, and he only coerced and lured him slightly, not afraid that he would not return.

Third, it is Tan Daoji, who is the most difficult to deal with. Tan Daoji is upright and upright, and he is loyal to the emperor, and his prestige in the three armies even exceeds that of the emperor. To defeat him, you have to think in the long run. If the customs is successfully cleared, the prince will get a total of 450,000 troops, which will be enough to deal with the imperial court! ...... then"

Liu Che'er suddenly interrupted him and said: "The third brother has already sent a message, saying that he will come to Pei County for a few days, and at that time, you will arrange all this!" He pointed to the moon and said.

Tangtai Mingyue had a good insight, and he knew that Liu Che'er was unwilling to say anything about overthrowing the imperial court in public, so he hurriedly stopped talking and replied instead: "The minister receives the order." ”

"The third prince is coming? If he sees me, don't be angry. Huayan quipped with a smile.

Liu Che'er hurriedly said: "How come! In the past, he didn't understand you and misunderstood you. I'm sure he'll be happy to make friends with you as long as he spends a few days with you. ”

She smiled and said nothing, she didn't seem to have a good impression of Liu Yikang.

Liu Che'er turned to the officials under the hall, "Doctor Shang's analysis is very clear. Next, it is up to you to divide and work together to complete the task as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" The crowd leaned over and replied.

Liu Che'er was still too cautious, and he never said anything in his opinion about 'seeking power and usurping the throne'.

"Zhan Feng, Mingyue, you stay first." Liu Che'er suddenly called.

The rest of the people are retreating.

"Just taking advantage of today's good weather, Yan'er," he walked up to Huayan and Xiao Minglang, "Why don't we go to the shooting range to practice?" He turned back to Shangguan Zhan Feng and said, "I can find a good opponent for you." ”

"Sounds good," Hua Yan stood up and asked Shangguan Zhan Feng with a smile, "Do you dare to compete with me?" ”

Shangguan Zhanfeng had never heard of a woman who could shoot arrows, he hid the suspicion on his face, leaned over and said respectfully: "Weichen doesn't dare." What's more, such a competition is unfair to Miss Painting. ”

Xiao Minglang glanced at Liu Che'er in surprise, as if to say, "Young man, have guts!" ”

Hua Yan saw that Shangguan Zhanfeng did not approve of her, and smiled meaninglessly, but did not fight back.

At this time, Sheng Lan couldn't get used to it, and stood up and said: "In the end, you still look down on women!" Don't be too confident, you don't need my young lady to take action, I am enough to deal with you. ”

Shangguan Zhanfeng raised his eyes in surprise and saw that in a blue shadow, a heroic woman was prominently displayed, which made him stunned for a while.
