There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, it was said that in CD City, Zhao Min, the former Yizhou assassin, was gathering several of his henchmen to discuss things in the mansion.

Zhao Min is originally a Brazilian, and he belongs to the same county as Li Yangzu. However, Li Yangzu's ancestors have been traditional Ba people for generations, and Zhao Minzu is a descendant of Middle-earth who hid in Ba Di in the chaos of Middle Earth in the late Shang Dynasty. Strictly speaking, his family is actually the descendants of the displaced people. It's just that they have been living here for more than 300 years, and no one has long said that they are the descendants of displaced people.

Zhao Min used to serve as a lieutenant under the Shaofu, and Shen Xiu belonged to the same Shaofuqing, and the two were very familiar with each other. After Shen Xiu pouted Emperor Fulun of Zhao to launch a coup d'état to abolish Jia, Zhao Min immediately found Shen Xiu to give him a generous gift and asked to be released as the assassin of Yizhou.

For Shen Xiu, Zhao Min doesn't like it from the bottom of his heart, but he also admires this person from the bottom of his heart for being good at calculation and ruthlessness.

At this time, Zhao Min was thinking about Shen Xiu's successful experience. He didn't want to go back to Shangluo, a place that was destined to be chaotic, he just wanted to stay on the Yizhou side and be the master of his side without any dispute.

The few people sitting here are his henchmen.

Changshi Du Shu was originally a monk from a poor family, and he was originally just a scholar in Shangluo, but it was his insight that promoted him to his own long history.

Sima Zhang Can was also a student in Hongdu Academy in his early years, and he was able to become Sima in the Yizhou Assassin Mansion, which made Zhang Can grateful.

As for the middle-aged man in his fifties dressed in a lenient Confucian costume on the other side, he was a native of Yizhou, named Liu Fu, who was originally a Qianwei Taishou. After learning that his position as the Qianwei Taishou would also be replaced by someone from the Jinyang royal family who came from Beijing, he was unwilling to come to the Assassin's Mansion.

Several of them had already discussed countermeasures in private, and at this time, Du Shu said: "My lord, Cui Yuanjun has already passed the Sword Pavilion, and he will come to CD in a few days." Yizhou Wenwu almost poured out of the nest to greet him, and hoped that the adults would make up their minds as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Min frowned at this time, and heaven and man were at war in his heart.

It is true that he is nostalgic for this place, but if he really resists, this is a complicity, and for a while, he regrets it a little.

"My lord," Liu Fu looked at his face, and immediately guessed the scruples in his heart, and said: "Yizhou is surrounded by mountains, and it is really a country of abundance. At that time, Shang Zhaolie relied on this state and Zhou and Wu to divide the world. Looking further back, in the past, Shang Gaozu set out from Yizhou and then ruled the world. Today, the Great Jin Dynasty has no time to take care of the disputes, and this is a good opportunity for us to seize Yizhou. As long as we suddenly raise troops to take the two passes of the Sword Pavilion and Jiameng and cut off the North Road, even if the enterprising is insufficient, it is more than enough for self-protection. ”

When Zhao Min heard this, his brows were still unfurled. "The people of Shu have always been indulged in pleasure rather than fighting, which is a big problem. ”

"This is not difficult, I have a solution to the confusion of adults. Sima Zhang Can said.

"Oh, come on. Zhao Min asked hurriedly when he heard this.

"My lord, far away in the sky, close in front of you. When I heard that the first thing the imperial court did when it sent Cui Can here was to drive the displaced people back to their original places. As far as I know, these displaced people are reluctant to move back to their original places. My lord, as long as we promise them a promise to allow the homeless to live permanently, and give some leaders a half-official position, are we afraid that these brave and warlike homeless people will not be used by us?"

"Okay, as long as Zhang Sima's strategy is successfully implemented, we can get tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Changshi Du Shu heard Zhang Can's policy and applauded loudly: "My lord, I heard that the ancestor of Li Xiang, the leader of the displaced people in Mianzhu, is from the same county, I don't know if this news is true?"

"This news is true. Zhao Min said: "Li Xiang also sent his younger brother to find me, but Mianzhu belongs to the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, and I can't help it." ”

"My lord, don't hesitate, I'll go to Mianzhu to persuade Li Xiang. can be served by this person, and adults should no longer have to worry about major events. ”

......

When Du Shu went to Li Xiang's camp, Qiao Deng and the others were happily talking with all the young talents in a brightly lit mansion in Fuxian County with a glass of grape wine.

The group of them left the Sword Pavilion and rushed to Fuxian before dark. After Fu County is Mianzhu, but the two belong to different counties, Fu County belongs to Zitong County here, and Mianzhu belongs to Xindu County over there. At the speed of their team, they would be able to reach CD in two days, much to the excitement of the crowd who had been walking through the mountains for days. This mansion is the home of Zitong's surname Xin Ran. When they were in the Shu business, there have always been people who were officials in Shu Shang, and they have always been the big surname here. When the Great Jin Dynasty destroyed the Shu merchants, Xin Ran's grandfather fought until the last moment and finally died on the battlefield, so he won everyone's praise. After Shu entered the Jin Dynasty, Qiao Zhou, the great Confucian of Shu, accompanied the queen of Shu Shang to Shangluo. When Emperor Wu of Jin asked Qiao Zhou who else had both ability and political integrity, Qiao Zhouxiang recommended to Emperor Wu of Jin that among the eighteen young talents of Shu was Xin Ran's father.

Xin Ran worshiped Guanghan Taishou at this time, he couldn't leave Guanghan, and it was his younger brother who entertained everyone at home.

Because of Qiao Zhou's recommendation back then, and Xin Ran's father had originally attended classes under Qiao Zhou, the relationship between the two families has always been very close.

Qiao Deng was listening to the young people from Shangluo talking about the King of Qi's crusade against King Zhao, what Fan Yang Di Jiajing's almost legendary feats, and what King Qi's righteous deeds, and he was listening with relish, when he suddenly felt someone behind him gently pull him.

He turned his head to look and saw a twenty-eight-year-old girl looking at him with a delicate face, it was Xin Wan, the young lady of the Xin family.

"Brother Deng, go over and help me take a look. As soon as Xin Wan opened her mouth, she sounded like Huang Yingqingming, "I'm about to lose all my chips." ”

Looking at the depressed appearance of this friend who grew up with childhood sweethearts, Qiao Deng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and asked softly, "What are you guys playing?"

"It's a game called 'poker' that Sister Tianyun and Sister Wen just taught me, and I can't play it well. ”

"Poker?" Hearing this perfect pattern of words, he couldn't help but be interested in the genius since he was a child, "Take me to see it." ”

Hearing that he agreed, Xin Wan hurriedly pulled him excitedly and walked to the back hall, in Xin Wan's heart, her brother Deng has been omnipotent since he was a child.

"Oops, I'm here with a helper. Wang Tianyun, who was sitting at a stone table over there, couldn't help but joke when he saw the two of them coming in.

"Hmph, come again, my brother Deng is amazing. ”

Seeing the second daughter teasing Xin Wan and herself, Qiao Deng was not annoyed at all, and stood behind Xin Wan calmly, watching her play a few games with Wang Tianyun and Cui Wen. With his cleverness, he quickly understood the rules and tricks.

This strange thing called "poker" has a total of fifty-four cards, divided into four suits, and thirteen cards of each suit. This made Jorden, who had always liked to think, very puzzled. Each of these cards has a zodiac pattern painted on it, which are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, dog, rooster, pig, and the extra one is actually painted with a cat pattern, which makes Jordon puzzled. In addition to the fifty-two cards of these four suits, there are also two trump cards with the motifs of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. This Jordon is very easy to understand.

Xin Wan and Wang Tianyun and Cui Wen play the game of two people fighting the other one, and the other person has a special benefit that you can take three more hole cards that are buckled below.

After watching a few games, he suddenly realized that this game was very interesting.

"Xiaowan, what's the name of this game you're playing?" asked Jordon with interest.

"We call this the landlord. But it was Wang Tianyun who replied casually while playing the cards.

Fighting landlords?

It's a funny name.
