Shen Bujiao is not foolish in Pingling City, she needs to know whether Zhao Cheng's family is really as rumored, loving the people like children, kind-hearted, and more importantly, the situation in the whole world today.

The ordinary people in Pingling City are closed to news, Zhao Cheng and the others are well-informed, and they know very well what is happening within the Daqi Dynasty.

However, in only half a month, King Yan has already hit Dingzhou from Hanhaiguan, and the imperial court has to send troops to encircle and suppress the uprising of the people in various places, and on the other hand, it has to face the situation of tigers and wolves and the princes' different hearts, the key is that the emperor still doesn't care.

The situation is changing day by day, Zhao Cheng has no heart to earn the merit of the dragon, but the people under him don't think so, Pingling City has never been able to be alone, and it is not a peach blossom source that can protect the people forever.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is a struggle for rights, which can never be avoided.

Now Pingling City did not participate in the struggle because the situation is still unclear, they are afraid that they will make the wrong bet, and then the success will fall short, the topography of Pingling City is indeed not good, this is its disadvantage, but also its advantages, as a large rear, reserve grain and grass, that is a good place of first class.

It doesn't matter, you can dig a road, in order to have a communication channel with the outside world, Pingling City has built a road to the outside world, and the terrain of Pingling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it is not a place where soldiers must fight, but to be able to have more territory, who does not want to?

Three years later, the already precarious, crumbling Daqi Dynasty finally collapsed, which was the result of the end of many forces, but the war did not end, two years later, only the chessboard left the Yan King, the Qi King and the Liu tripartite forces, the King of Qi and the Yan King needless to say, the elder brother of the original Daqi Emperor, is an old prince, and the connotation of a hundred years of precipitation can be imagined.

The only one who is not a prince to participate in the hegemony is the Liu family from the family, the Liu family has deep roots, when the last emperor of the Daqi Dynasty was in office, the prime minister appointed was from the Liu family, the Liu family is a famous family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and when it comes to the heritage, it is even stronger than the princes from the two royal families.

The emperor of flowing water, the family of iron is like this, the emperor is changed casually, the family is standing, because no matter who is the emperor, there must always be courtiers to do things for him, and famous, knowledgeable, self-contained, capable people, most of them are born in families, and the children who have been educated in the past hundred years, the men are all martial arts can go to the horse to determine the world, and the women are proficient in the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting stewards, and some women's strategies are even better than men, which is not up to the ordinary poor family.

The wind moves the pear blossoms, and the light smoke is soft and the moon is soft.

On the roof, Shen Bujiao poured himself a drink, looked up at the bright moon, and heard the sound of feet stepping on the ladder, "You're here." ”

Shui Lian hummed softly, sat down opposite her, reached out and picked up a bottle of wine glass, Shen Bujie raised his left hand, the wine jug fell into her hand, Shui Lian puffed out her cheeks, glared at her, Shen Bujie couldn't help but smile: "You are still young." ”

The sixteen-year-old water lotus is slim and elegant, really like a budding water lotus, staring at Shen Bujiao with a little bit of the little daughter's coquettishness, cute and smart, "I'm not young at all, I'm sixteen years old." ”

Shen Bujiao smiled, noncommittal, and asked, "You want to marry Zhao Yuanxuan?"

Shui Lian pouted and corrected: "Being a concubine can't be said to be married, but a wife is." ”

"Liang Sheng is not good?"

Zhao Yuanxuan is Zhao Cheng's son-in-law, only in his early twenties this year, he is a famous young talent in Pingling City, and he is also a talent, like his father, from martial arts.

When Shui Lian heard Liang Sheng's name, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile, just smiled, and had a little more sad and sad taste, "No, he is very good, he is elegant, he writes well, and he is very good to me." ”

Shen Bujiao was puzzled, "You don't like him?"

Shuilian shook her head, different from talking about the shyness of other girls' sweethearts, she nodded affirmatively, resolutely and firmly, without the slightest hesitation, "I like it." ”

"Then why don't you marry him?" Shen Bujiao felt that of course he had to marry someone he liked, otherwise what would be the point of living the rest of his life?

Shuilian's fingers buckled on the small table, and she was silent for a moment before she said: "Sister, Zhao Yuanxuan is the sister-in-law of General Zhao, with a stable position, and brave and good at fighting, such as today's three points, King Yan, King Qi, and Liu's three-legged tripod, each other's horns, check and balance each other, and it must be one of them who will win the world in the future, the world has been in chaos for so many years, and it was just a small fish and shrimp before, and the people who are really qualified to stand on the chessboard to play chess are the only three, Pingling City has been peaceful for these years, because General Zhao is still waiting, and now, it is time to make a decision." ”

Her clear eyes looked at Shen Bujiao fixedly, and the corners of her lips bloomed with a smile as clear as a water lotus, "Now, General Zhao is going to stand in line, that's their big thing, but the ordinary people of Pingling City have to pay the price, where does the money and men come from?"

"Pingling City recuperates, watching the fire from the other side for so many years, isn't it this day that you are waiting for, whether it is victory or defeat, aren't the people who suffer?"

"My strength is too weak to control the situation in the world, if Pingling City will become a fish on the chopping block sooner or later, the people will eventually be displaced, I can't protect everyone, but I want to protect my home. ”

Shuilian's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly with wings ready to fly, "Liang Sheng is very good, I like him too, but in the troubled times, liking is too shallow after all, compared to this, I have something more worthy of my protection, I have to take you on the big ship of the Zhao family." ”

Shen Bujiao's eyes flashed with a small and beautiful light, as if the entire bright galaxy was reflected in it, she smiled, "Aren't you afraid that General Zhao is on the wrong side?"

Shui Lian winked mischievously at Shen Bujiao, "Sister, General Zhao Cheng Zhao is famous all over the world for his benevolence and generosity, for those in power, especially those who want to sit in that position, he can't kill a person with such a reputation, how many people in the world are looking at him with their eyes open, killing General Zhao alone chills the hearts of people in the world, such a reputation, he can't carry it." ”

On the contrary, he would recruit General Zhao to do things for him, show his benevolence to the whole world, publicize his reputation, and let more people of insight see this side of him and come to pay allegiance. ”

If you want to seek the world, you must not be narrow-minded, you must be as broad as the sea, whether you are really such a person or not, anyway, you must show like this, otherwise no literati and military generals are willing to agree with each other and swear allegiance.

People who seek the world, you can secretly do some small actions and conspire treacherous, but in the overall situation, you must be upright and do gentleman's things, so as to convince the people of the world.

Shen Bujia's red lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of satisfaction, "You don't have to marry Zhao Yuanxuan as a concubine to protect the family." Her slender and slender finger tapped at Pingling City, "Here, there will be no war, Pingling City, don't stand in line." ”

Shui Lian was slightly surprised, "Sister, the defenders of Pingling City listen to General Zhao Cheng, and they have already connected with the forces of King Yan......

Shen Bujiao's index finger rubbed his lips and said with a smile: "With me, don't worry, you just have to be Liang Sheng's bride." ”
