readx;? He Zhongtang saw Shi Wujia standing far away behind the crowd and nodded lightly, so he deliberately scolded loudly, "You old guy, it's getting harder and harder! What are we doing here? Still standing there still, do you have to call you to know?"

As soon as Shi Wujia heard this, he knew that he said this on purpose, and while nodding his head and agreeing, he called Shanglian and ran to the backyard of the Li family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Jin Tai prevented him from making trouble with the people in Zhongtang, so he deliberately followed him, saying that he was helping, but in fact, everyone knew what he meant.

After Shi Wujia arrived in the backyard, he deliberately pretended not to remember where it was, picked up a hoe and dug it up in the backyard, but he didn't dig it in several places, and he was so angry that he scolded himself for being old and having a poor memory.

Slowly, when he came to the place where he had buried the wine jar just now, he first dug aside for a long time, dug up all the soil around him, and then deliberately used a hoe to cover the place where he had just put the wine jar with some fresh soil, so as to cover up the fresh traces of his own soil.

Sure enough, after digging a few hoes, he went out of the jar of wine that he had just put in, and while digging hard, he deliberately wiped off the soil on the top of the jar, and deliberately did a good job.

In fact, he is very clear about the purpose of He Zhongtang to do all this, that is, to find a reason to come to Bingzhang's house, now that there is good wine, the next step is to see how He Zhongtang acts.

With the help of going to the toilet, He Zhongtang quietly told Shi Wujia to ask him to look around to see if there had been no fire here for a few months, but Shi Wujia smiled and said, "Master, it has been a few years since this group was opened." They've all moved. ”

"Ah, why didn't you say it earlier?" "I ......" Shi Wujia was very aggrieved, who knew where he was going, he didn't say it clearly, and said that he buried wine a few years ago, so it could only be this old place.

He Zhongtang knew that he couldn't blame him, so he quickly thought of a way to go to Bingzhang's new mansion to see if he hadn't opened a partnership for a few months.

Just eat and drink on his side. While thinking about it, I heard Bingzhang say with a smile, "I said Lao He, you don't want to mutter to Lao Shi anymore." Whether it's here, or the new yard, it's really been a few months since the gang opened. I knew you didn't believe me. ”

After speaking, he pulled up his trouser legs and left, "Let's go." It's too small to be able to do it, so let's go and see our new yard. ”

At this time, when he saw that he had been exposed, he felt embarrassed, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to follow.

This time, they had a pounce.

Because Bingzhang and his third son discussed that they wanted to do such a game, they did all the basic work in place. After everyone arrived at Bingzhang's new courtyard, sure enough, the pot was cold, and a thick layer of ash fell on it, but in the cupboard, two grassroots cakes that had already become moldy were placed, and there were two tooth marks left on them.

Bingzhang also joked with He Zhongtang, "Lord Zhongtang, why don't you taste it too?" Frightened, He Zhongtang hurriedly walked out, he couldn't think of this thing that people could eat.

However, he went through both yards. I completely believe what Bingzhang said.

A few days later, he and Zhongtang and Li Zhongtang jointly played a joint performance, asking the king to adjust the policy and invigorate business. Benefiting the country and the people.

But when the recital went up to the queen of heaven, there was no movement, and the king neither said that it would be carried out, nor that it would not be carried out.

Later, I asked the people in the palace to inquire, and it turned out that the king had left the chapter in the middle and did not send it.

Since this is the case, then we can only wait for another opportunity. Bingzhang and Hezhongtang have no choice.

But a few days later, the eldest son was summoned directly by the king and went to the palace.

Bingzhang and He Zhongtang didn't know what the eldest son was capable of allowing the king to summon him personally, and his own music did not say that it was the model of the Xiyan family, but only the characteristics of this model.

In fact, how did they know that this was all arranged by Lao Shu before, and the image and deeds of the eldest son were firmly implanted in the king's mind.

Moreover, the day after the eldest son was summoned, the edict in the palace came out, which was completely in accordance with the model of the Xiyan family and the method that the eldest son said that day.

I don't know what the king and his eldest son said in the palace, which made the king so convinced of a commoner he had never met.

Regarding this point, Li Zhongtang Bingzhang, who was extremely self-righteous and had a serious idea of dividing the government and the people, was also very unhappy for a while, and thought that it was because the king's holy family was no longer there, and even the new people were afraid, where did they know about the Martians, and where did they know about the power of high technology.

Of course, this secret is only known to the eldest and third sons, as well as the three of them, who carry the future of the family on their shoulders.

On the edict of the king, a plaque of the Xiyan family was enshrined as "Gong Zhong Tiguo", and the eldest son was appointed as the commissioner of "Ordered to do business", and the world was required to supervise and follow the Xiyan family model as a whole.

Because these business models also have a certain degree of popularity in various places, especially at the level of supervision, after receiving such a holy decree, basically there is no hurry, but the doubts in my heart are indeed more and more, I don't know why the king changed his mind in an instant, and will be a model, the world.

Why do you say that you have changed course, because since ancient times, the country's policy has been to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and this requirement to implement the business model is in danger of shaking the country's foundation, so everyone has doubts, of course, there are some officials who do not know the current affairs to persuade them, but the king neither reprimands nor shows a new attitude, but just stays in the middle and does not send it.

In this way, some officials who are good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder think that the king did this thing only for a moment, or was forced to do it, so they have the heart to drag it out, because in the officialdom, a "drag" word trick may drag a good thing to death without any accountability, as for the reasons, you haven't been held accountable, he has already prepared 100,000 reasons.

But this time, they will be wrong.

There were three officials who dragged their feet and did not handle the matter, and one governor and two governors were dismissed from their posts one after another within half a month to investigate and deal with them, and the other officials saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly and personally grasped the implementation. Only then did they realize that the king's "not showing his attitude is his attitude." ”

In other words, he only said the important things once.

After this work was carried out, not only did the business of the Xiyan family be taken seriously, but the governors in various places also took the initiative to extend olive branches to the eldest son, inviting him as a commissioner to inspect and guide the work, but the eldest son politely refused. It's not that he doesn't want to take this opportunity to walk around, but that a person's energy is limited after all, and more importantly, he has already passed on the family business to his third son. He is solely responsible, he just goes around the places and fights the autumn wind.

Because he knew that as long as he didn't retire for a day, the third son would not be able to take over for a day. It is impossible to really take on the burden of being a family.

Since the marriage, the eldest son has been thinking about this homecoming.

But since he and his third son persuaded him to stay for a while longer, especially Lao Jintai persuaded him the most, because for so many years, he and his eldest son worked together, which was the happiest period of his life.

If he hadn't sold the Qiancheng Hall back then and followed his eldest son to the rivers and lakes, maybe he would still be there greeting guests and doing his best, how could he have the scenery at this time today.

Over the years, although I have also suffered a lot. And there are countless adventures, but seeing the scenery of the world and reading the warmth and coldness of the world can be regarded as a great joy in life.

The eldest son understands Lao Jintai's feelings, he is a little reluctant to let go, in fact, in life, he has to let go in the end, he doesn't have to be so sad, not to mention that Lao Jintai's son Haoran is now the head of the Xiyan family, and he is based in the capital. Assisting the third son and the two assistants in housework can be regarded as a generation of successors.

Lao Jintai couldn't be persuaded to do so, so he shouted that he wanted to go back to Ziyanping, so that he would. The eldest son was a little worried, because Lao Jintai was an old man after all, and he had a bumpy road and a long way, so it was inevitable that he would not have a headache and brain fever.

However, in fact, the eldest son also knows Mrs. Jin's thoughts. He wanted to walk with him again, and at the same time, he also wanted to take advantage of the fact that he could still walk and return to Ziyanping, which had been absent for a long time, after all, the family was there.

On this day, with the careful preparation of Haoran and Zize, they finally set off.

With the lesson of the last time, the eldest son decided to go from the official road this time, and he couldn't stand that kind of thing last time.

Although he has an official status, the eldest son decided to try not to be ostentatious this time and leave quietly, and at the same time prevent some people from thinking about it.

In the end, the official road is much better than the mountain road, although the distance is far away, but fortunately, the road surface is flat, every thirty or fifty miles of the road, there are post stations opened by the official family, if not all are requisitioned, you can also go in and stay, it is better than spending the night in the wilderness.

Ten days later, they have finished the Xixian Ancient Road, and came to the Shu Road, which is known to be difficult to go to the blue sky, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the strongmen have been infested since ancient times.

This place is called Golden Ao, the north of the col is the direction of going to the Xixian Ancient Road and entering the capital, and the south of the col is to enter the southwest and go to the direction of Wujiang River and Ziyanping.

Before leaving, Xiao Huaizi was responsible for the safety of the road instead of Fat Baby, and Fat Baby was responsible for the safety of the capital instead of Xiao Huaizi.

Before entering the mountain, Xiao Huaizi gathered the three people who had walked separately into one road, which was convenient for dispatch and easy to meet the enemy.

Unexpectedly, even if the defense was so tight, as soon as he entered the mountain pass, he found that the road in front of him was blocked by wood and rolling stones, and Xiao Huaizi, who was walking in front, immediately asked everyone to unsheath their swords, bow and string, and be ready to prevent danger on both sides of the mountain at any time, and asked everyone to go to the foot of the mountain as much as possible, so that even if something fell down the mountain, they could take advantage of the stone wall to dodge.

In this way, everyone walked forward with tension all the way, and walked straight out for a mile or two, and there was no danger on either side, and everyone's mood was a little relaxed.

Xiao Huaizi reminded everyone again, just when he just shouted, only to hear a rumbling sound in the mountain chong on the right, everyone looked up, only to see some big stones of the house, rolling down from above.

Because in the place of Jinshan, Xiao Huaizi has specially explained, if this situation is encountered, what to do, so everyone did not panic at all, according to the previous agreement, the front team quickly ran forward, to make room for the rear team, and the back team threw away everything, quickly ran across the mountain, and the front team rounded, and waited until the danger passed, and then came back to pick up things.

Sure enough, after a few stones came down, the valley returned to its former calm, as if nothing had happened.

It seems that the strongman on the mountain saw that the person who did not hit the bottom of the mountain, and knew that he had met an opponent, so he suspended the supply and waited for the next opportunity.

After passing through this place, Xiao Huaizi explained to everyone again, everyone should look at both sides of the road while walking, looking for emergencies. If you can hide in a stone nest or other place, as long as there is danger, you can run over and hide as fast as possible, just a little knowledge. It's possible to die a life.

Of course, in order to prevent arrows from being released on the mountain, they were also fully prepared, and made one side of the car into a hardwood plank, which was enough to block the shooting of bows and arrows. If the people on the mountain shoot arrows from one side, they will definitely be able to hide, and if they attack from both sides, they can lean on the rocky mountain while blocking with a cart, but in this way, the oxen and horses pulling the cart may suffer, and this is also a matter of no way.

After passing here, the mountain in front of me became deeper and deeper. It is said to be a valley, indeed a valley, with steep cliffs on both sides, and a path in the middle, and the mood is very depressing when walking in it, as if something will roll down the mountain at any time.

Because this road has been traveled many times, everyone knows where to stay, where to rest, where to refill with water, and where to be dangerous.

Every time I pass by here in the past. There are some accidents, but basically they are not man-made, just some landslides or mudslides, or some animals come out to scare people. This is something that has never been seen before.

After crossing this road, the appearance of the two mountains in front of me has changed slightly, the path has become a river valley, and the rocky mountains on both sides have also become deep forests and dense coniferous forests. There's no longer any fear of things suddenly rolling down from the mountains, but it's easier for the strongman to get his hands on it here.

At this moment, I could only hear a shout from the woods on the edge of the valley, "Rush!"

I saw some people wrapped in red and green turbans rushing out of the woods, numbering only a dozen people, holding fellows of different lengths in their hands, smiling at the group of people in the eldest son, and they did not move when they were three or five feet away from them.

One of the ringleader-like people shouted, "I opened this road, I planted this book, if you want to live from now on, leave and buy road money!"

The eldest son smiled, "Brother, you said that you opened this road, then let me ask you, when did this road open?"

When he asked, the strongman was dumbfounded, he was a rough man, how did he know when this road that existed thousands of years ago was opened, he thought he was born like this.

When he couldn't answer, he got angry, "You don't care when it opens, I opened it anyway." "Okay, good, even if it's you.

Then you said that you planted this tree, but which tree was planted by you?" the eldest son saw that he had far more men than they did, and he had the heart to quarrel with them. "Which one?" the strongman couldn't answer, so he turned around and asked a small minion behind him.

The little minion only knows how to run errands and kill people and sell goods, where do you know this, I was stunned when asked, stared at two big-eyed beads, didn't know what to say, was stared at by the strongman leader in a hurry, so I pointed to a big tree on the side of the road and said, "It's this, this one." The strongman didn't know if he was missing a root in his head, or if he said it on purpose, so he pointed to the tree and said it was the tree.

"Hey, when I passed by here eighty years ago, this tree was so big. No, it must have been planted by your grandfather. ”

The eldest son saw that a few strongmen were so cute, and he had the heart to joke with them, and he was not in a hurry to go at this time.

Xiao Huaizi saw that his eldest son had the intention to laugh, but he faintly felt that something was wrong, where are these strong men, obviously a group of little minions, just a front stand, maybe the big team is still behind.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly and secretly instructed his entourage to be careful of the surrounding movements, and asked a few henchmen to quietly detour behind the strongman, trying to detain these people first as hostages to ensure that everyone passed through here smoothly.

Because there is a situation that is obvious, these strongmen still dare to come up and rob when they see that there are obviously many more people than their own team, and they are fully armed, and they can't be said to be stupid, because if they are mixed in the rivers and lakes, if their minds are not clear, they will definitely not be able to mix today, and they can only be said to be relying on behind them, that is, there are still big teams around.

But Xiao Huaizi looked left and right, and still couldn't see any movement in the deep woods around him, after all, the woods here were too dense, and there were 180,000 people hidden inside, and he couldn't see it on the road.

Of course, as a person who once dominated the rivers and lakes, he also knew that during the peaceful and prosperous era, there were not so many ordinary strongmen, and no matter how big the team was, on the one hand, it could not find so many unemployed and homeless people, and on the other hand, the government would not allow it to sit big.

Thinking of this, Xiao Huaizi felt a little relieved in his heart, but. If you want to go back, you can't go back.

Because the road behind has been blocked by the big rock, the big stone in the room. If the road with two carriages wide was blocked, if there were no stonemasons to smash this stone, then this stone would have been placed like this for thousands of years, and if it was not good, the road would have been abandoned.

Seeing that the centaurs had surrounded these little minions, Xiao Huaizi whistled. I saw seventy or eighty people surrounding these dozen people in the middle, and each of them threw a long rope out of the opposite direction, and in an instant it formed a large net and netted these people in the middle.

Then, only one of them shouted loudly, and I saw everyone pull the net rope, and all these little minions were covered underneath.

Everyone rushed up, and in less than a moment, these people were tied one by one and sent to the eldest son.

The eldest son asked him with a smile, "Do you remember which tree you planted?"

The little minion asked with a smile when he saw him. Knowing that the more this happens, the more serious the consequences may be, he trembled with fright, "The master spares his life, the master spares his life!" ”

Xiao Huaizi saw him with a hippie smile on his face, so he kicked him when he went up, "Don't speak!"

The little Huaizi told the eldest son that he had to hurry forward now, or he might not be able to make the next post before dark.

The eldest son obeyed him and asked the procession to pass through here quickly. And prevent situations on both sides of the road at all times.

But the eldest son also reminded Xiao Huaizi that these people were subdued so easily, there may be fraud, and there may be an ambush ahead. Be vigilant.

Considering not to be wrapped in dumplings, Xiao Huaizi asked the team to stagger the distance a little, just keep a visible distance from each other, find danger, and rescue each other at any time.

He hadn't gone far when he heard a cannon fire in front of him. A lot of wood rolled down the mountain, accompanied by countless stones, and it rumbled like thunder.

Just when everyone was amazed, then a few screams of blade-toothed tigers suddenly came from the mountains on both sides, and the echoes reverberated in the valley, frightening people and chilling their hearts, and even Xiao Huaizi was frightened, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

The eldest son has seen a lot of the world, so he asked everyone to gather around on the spot, and find some stone nests nearby to hide, so as not to be hit by the stones and wood that rolled down, and at the same time everyone was in a group of three or five people, with weapons facing outward, forming a protective circle.

If you don't find a stone nest, take refuge next to the car. At this moment, it seems to have gone back to many years ago, and the hearts of the eldest son and everyone are pounding. It seems that these thieves are prepared and not easy to deal with.

Just when everyone was surprised and at a loss, they saw that many people suddenly walked down from the mountains in the distance and nearby, at least fifty or sixty.

Seeing this, the eldest son and the youngest Huaizi were a little relieved in their hearts, there are ** No. 10 people in their team, and they are basically able to fight, if they are fighting face-to-face, there should be no difficulty in dealing with them.

But just when they felt a little more relaxed, they saw five or six blade-toothed tigers slowly walking down the other mountain! There were also a few cave lions next to the big tiger!

If there are only so many people, there is still a chance of winning, plus these tigers and lions, no matter how many people can't deal with it.

What's more important is that these people here, except for the eldest son who has seen and dealt with this thing, the others have never seen it, not to mention that the bodies of these two things are bigger than a car, and as soon as they appeared, many people were scared to the ground, where would they dare to go up and fight it.

Originally, the eldest son was still full of confidence in dealing with these thieves, but when this change suddenly appeared, he could only sigh to himself that he was unlucky, "Hey! It's really a death for me! Since this is the case, then come!"

After experiencing so many dangers and sufferings, even if he is about to face death, the eldest son also has to fight and fight to the top.

Thinking of this, he gathered all the people together, and dragged those who were already paralyzed on the ground with drags and dragged them over, especially placing the spears in the outer ring, so that if the tiger and lion attacked, they could also use the spears to resist for a while.

At the same time, Xiao Huaizi grabbed a handful of stones, jumped a few times, and came to a protruding stone on the right mountain, where he was going to resist the tiger lion first, if he successfully hit the tiger lion in the eye, then no matter how powerful they were, they still couldn't.
