Just when Meng Yan was worried about how to get rid of the pain of blind date, Xiao Yu was about to collapse in Pinghai Prefecture, Zhang Jianzhou was fortunately some exiled officials and criminal ministers, this Pinghai Prefecture's Lock Gate Island was terrible, either the original important ministers and generals in the court or the most vicious people, and they had formed their own institutional model on Lock Gate Island, Xiao Yu had not been recognized by them several times on the island, and even some people on the island suspected that Xiao Yu wanted to pull them out to be cannon fodder, which made Xiao Yu depressed.

There are two family members on Lock Gate Island, the one who teaches literature is the former Guozijian Doctor Cang Shuliang, Cang Shuliang scolded the emperor for being mediocre when he wrote a book, and the emperor of the Ling Dynasty wanted him to copy and behead all over the house, but fortunately, the old gentleman usually has no class, there are many students, and many people intercede for him before he is beheaded and exiled to Lock Gate Island; Ten years ago, he was deceived by the Taishi clan in the battle with Beimu, and the lone army went deep into causing a great defeat, and the emperor was furious, remembering his many years of exploits in the border, and exiled his family to Suomen Island.

At this time, Xiao Yu missed Meng Yan very much, but it was a pity that the two were far apart, but it was not without good news, according to the people on the island who bought it, Meng Yan was also a disciple of Cangshuliang's cultural context, and he had been writing to Shaonancheng for three days, thinking about it, there should be a reply to the letter in these two days, and the old man Cangshu was solved, and only Xiahou Ming was left with the following problems.

Xiao Yu is not very enthusiastic about the affairs of the old man Cangshu, and accepting Cangshu is just for the sake of the students under Cangshu, but Xiahou Ming is different, if Xiahou Ming is attached to himself, he will have a current adult candidate who leads the army to train the army, and a poor man who can be the commander of the state is by no means an ordinary person.

When he was thinking about how to solve it, Xiao Cong hurriedly sent a letter over, and looked at Meng Yan's reply, Xiao Yu couldn't wait to open it and read it quickly, it was difficult to hide his joy, Meng Yan told him that the old man Cangshu had no knees in his life, and he didn't get a daughter until he was in his twilight years, he was very favored, this girl's name is Cangshu Haoyue, she is sixteen years old this year, as long as Cangshu Haoyue is willing to leave the island, Cangshu Liang will definitely be no problem. As for Xiahou Ming's matter, Meng Yan said that he couldn't do anything, and the Xiahou army rejected the Night Guard very badly, so when he was made a game by the Taishi Clan, the Night Guard didn't say anything, and he didn't say that in fact, even if it was to add fuel to the fire, his Meng Yan's reputation couldn't please Xiahou, and Xiao Yu had to work hard himself.

After a burst of joy, Xiao Yu's face suddenly looked as disgusting as eating a mouthful of flies, Xiao Cong didn't know what was going on, and suddenly Xiao Yu smiled and said: "This bastard's second son is planning to let me use a beautiful man!" ”

Xiao Cong looked confused, looked at Xiao Yu with a questioning face, half-opened his mouth like a fool, Xiao Yu threw the letter to Xiao Cong when he saw this, Xiao Cong turned it over and over and still didn't understand, and asked: "Master Hou, where is this beautiful man's plan?" ”

"Uncle Cong, this kid focused on mentioning that the character is Cangshu Haoyue, and if you get Cangshu Haoyue, you can get half of the island, what do you say is the best thing to do with a little girl?" Xiao Yu patiently explained to him.

"Cangshu Haoyue? Is it the daughter of the old man Cangshu? I remember the first two times I went to the island to see two girls in Cangshu's bookstore, although they were dressed in tatters, surprisingly they were all beautiful embryos, and I saw that the faces of both men and women on the island belonged to the top grade, and it was strange, how could there be so many good-skinned people who were so tattered and poor, God was really a trick. Xiao Cong had a look of regret on his face.

This can't be endured, people can be stupid twice, but they can't be stupid all the time, Xiao Cong is such a person, but after all, he is the most loyal person around him Xiao Yu still held back the idea of scolding people as much as possible, "Uncle Cong, the poverty here is deliberately done by the Ling Dynasty, most of the ministers or generals on the island are from the fourth rank or above of the imperial court, so they are not born with good skin, they are precipitated over many years, and although these people are poor, no one will ever dare to blaspheme and think of non-separation, so, Uncle Cong should not despise the people on the island. ”

"Master Hou's lesson is that Xiao Cong understands, so according to this, one of the two girls I saw in the bookstore that day should be Cangshu Haoyue, and the other doesn't look ordinary." Xiao Cong slowly understood the mystery.

"Well, it's useless for us to guess here, Uncle Cong will arrange to visit the bookstore on the island in the afternoon." Xiao Yu made up his mind.

As soon as Xiao Yu's request to go to the island arrived, Xiahou took the letter to the bookstore, "Cangshu Gong, what do you think?" This Xiao kid doesn't give up! ”

"The water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers come to block it, does he still use strength? There is Zhongqin personally guarding this lock door island, and the old man is still relieved. Cang Shuliang was not worried, and at the same time he didn't care about Xiao Yu.

"However, the Chong clan of Wuyang City, the largest force in the south, has been attached to Xiao Huli, we are under the jurisdiction of Pinghai Prefecture, although the Chong clan has not been in contact with us over the years, but the four sections of food, cloth and miscellaneous goods have never been blocked, Xiao Yu is now in charge of Pinghai Prefecture, some time ago Zheng Shanglong privately handed me a message to let us be careful." Xia Houming was more worried.

"Zhongqin, are you excited?" Cang Shuliang saw that Xiahou Ming was very different from usual, a person who had been depressed for many years had been framed so far, and now it was difficult to have an opportunity in front of him not to be moved.

"Cang Shugong, I..." For a while, Xiahou Ming didn't know what to say, he wanted to refute or say that he wanted to cover it up, but his friendship with Cang Shuliang over the years did not allow him to be so prevaricated, Cang Shuliang could see Xiahou Ming's embarrassment, raised his hand to stop him, and said: "Zhongqin, you are a person with great ambitions, I am already old, if it weren't for the young girl, I would have left with my wife a long time ago, if you think about it, do it, as long as you don't regret it, as for me, I will stay on this island for the rest of my life." After speaking, Cang Shuliang walked to the backyard with his hands behind his back, which was already the meaning of sending off guests.

Xiahou Ming suddenly lost his mind and walked back to his house, the two girls in the family were practicing martial arts, looking at the skill was about to be in the realm of the earth, and saw Xiahou Ming come back A girl with a peach blossom face and an apricot color jumped over, making people look warm, although they were dressed simply, but they looked at the temperament well, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiahou is back, I Aya must make you unhappy again." ”

Xiahou Ming caressed the top of the girl's head lovingly, and said lovingly: "No, there are some things that my uncle can't figure out, Haoyue doesn't have to worry." Looking up at a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth but a frosty face, dressed in a black strong coat, Xiahou Ming's head is a little big, this child looks very much like her mother, but the cold temperament doesn't know who is with her, in addition to interacting with Haoyue on the island over the years, the rest of the people don't even talk much, if they go out of the island, what can this child do?

The two little girls practiced for a while, Haoyue said goodbye, only to see her daughter come in with some food, and said while making vegetables: "If Aya wants to go out of the island, then come out, don't worry about me, I also want to avenge my mother, and I may have a chance to go out of the island." ”

"Ying'er, I'm sorry for you, I haven't thought about it for my father, and Mr. Cangshu doesn't object, but if I choose this path, I won't just be a criminal but a traitor." Xia Houming's worries were beyond words.

"Aya, is there still salvation in the Ling Dynasty? People like Yang Boyu have rebelled against the south, Xiao Yu also said that Yang Boyu's little disciple is an orphan of the Montessori family, you have an old relationship with the Montessori, and how much do you think the major families in the Central Plains are loyal to the royal family of the Ling Dynasty? Xiahou Ying is heart-wrenching.

Referring to the anger on Yang Boyu's face Xiahou Ming, if it weren't for the Night Guard, he would not have been exiled, although Montessori had an old favor for himself, but what kind of good person could the disciple trained by Yang Boyu be, when he thought of Yang Boyu, he was angry when he thought of the Night Guard, "Ying'er, don't mention this person, the imperial court has come to this point, and the Night Guard is guilty of this kind of pickled goods!" One of the reasons for my hesitation is that I want to be an official in the same dynasty as Yang Boyu! ”

"Aya, my daughter thinks that your current direction is wrong, you are not attached to South Vietnam, you are now invited by Xiao Yu or Xiao Shi to go out of the mountain, what is the relationship with South Vietnam?" Xiahou Ying said unintentionally while giving Xiahou Ming a bowl of porridge.

Xiahou Ming was stunned, he really cared less about his daughter over the years, what did Cang Shuliang teach her, "Do you think the Xiao family and Nanyue are not the same heart?" ”

"The Xiao family is not a family that is subordinate to others, Xiao Yu invited the people from Lockgate Island to go out of the mountain, you think it is purely for the sake of South Vietnam, Nanyue asked Xiao Huli to be the governor of the South China Sea also to let him compete with the two tigers of Chongsheng, if the people of Lockdoor Island are loyal to the Xiao family, he will get a complete team." Xiahou Ying still said indifferently.

"If so, I'll do it!" Xia Houming had already made up his mind under his daughter's inconspicuous persuasion, and he was in a good mood after making up his mind, looking at his daughter and thinking: "Ying'er's age is just right!" ”

Things caught Xiao Yu by surprise, he didn't expect that all the means prepared were not used, Xiahou Ming's change caught Xiao Yu off guard, and the two began to sit down amicably for a series of communications on the matter of returning to Shun, Xiahou Ming elaborated on his years of hardship and unwillingness, Xiao Yu immediately expressed the same heartache, and together reached the common goal of cursing the royal family of the Ling Dynasty, waiting for the end of this process, both of them were already dry-mouthed, Xiahou Ming put forward three conditions: first, the people of Suomen Island were loyal to the South China Sea Governor's Mansion and had nothing to do with the Nanyue Imperial Court, Xiao Yu agreed to this on the spot, and originally didn't want them to have much to do with South Vietnam; The second is that everyone on Lock Gate Island must be taken care of by life, whether they are willing to be loyal or not, Xiao Yu hesitated, not because of disappointment but because of excitement above expectations; The third is that Xiahou Ming wants to lead the troops independently, and others are not allowed to intervene, this condition really makes Xiao Yu dare not accept, Xiao Yu said to Xia Houming that he needs to consult Xiao Huli before he can decide, on this last Xiao Yu's cautious attitude made Xiahou Ming put his mind at ease, Xiao Yu did not make an assertion, at least it shows that Xiao's sincerity is full, as for whether he can really lead an army alone, Xiahou Ming feels that even if he can agree now, he will be overthrown in the future, this is nothing, any leader will take power after reaching a certain level of power.

Just when the two basically reached an agreement, when Xiahou Ming wanted to supplement with Xiao Yu about his children's private affairs, Cang Shu Haoyue came over and said that Cang Shuliang invited Xiao Yu to the bookstore to talk, which is not easy to stop, after all, he is not the only one who can call the shots on the island, Xiahou Ming.

"Xiao Gongzi, you are a little similar to your father, but you are not as good as your father's bearing." Cang Shuliang has the tone of an elder.

"Mr. Cangshu and my father are also old acquaintances?" Xiao Yu was unhappy with Cang Shuliang's attitude, since people mentioned his father, there should still be a normal response.

"Old man, General Xiahou, your father, and Lord Meng Zhao, we have all been officials in the same dynasty, I heard that the orphan of Brother Meng Zhaoxian is Yang Boyu's little disciple Zhiwu?" Cang Shuliang and Xiao Yu talked about old things.

"Yes, obsession is Meng Yan, and now he is a young Nanbo of South Vietnam, and he is a sworn brother with his little nephew." Xiao Yu said truthfully.

Cang Shuliang nodded, his expression a little gloomy, "You have already negotiated with General Xiahou, right?" ”

"Yes, General Xiahou is willing to go out of the island to help me in the crusade against the Ling Dynasty." Xiao Yu directly explained his intentions, not that he wanted to be so straightforward, but he felt that he couldn't say the words to hide in front of this inconspicuous old man.

"Okay, it's good to go straight, after all, I am an old minister of the Ling Dynasty, although the court is responsible for me, but I don't want to carry the reputation of the second minister, people are old and cherish their reputation, and I ask the king of Zhenbei to forgive me." Cang Shuliang said bluntly, "But if the people on the island are willing to follow you, the old man will not stop him, if he thinks that I am an eyesore, the old man can never leave the lock door island for the rest of his life." ”

When he heard that Cang Shuliang was unwilling to serve, Xiao Yu frowned, feeling that this old man was very troublesome, he cared about his reputation and did not leave the island, which would definitely make some people who followed him hesitate, which was not conducive to the purpose of this trip, the old man seemed to see his concerns, and he made it clear directly.

Xiao Yu was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Cangshu, you are very old, and this place on Suomun Island is really unlivable, why don't you go to Wuyang City to open a bookstore and teach the people of the southern realm?" ”

Cang Shuliang knew that it would be such an ending, and he also understood that it was impossible for the Xiao family to let himself stay on Suomen Island, "Wuyang City is full of old friends and old friends, and the old man will inevitably be embarrassed to meet them, I heard you mention before that Meng Yan re-established the Mengshi Hall in Shaonan City 'Taoli Hall', which is a place to teach, why don't I go there?" No matter what Meng Yan says, he can be regarded as half of my disciple. ”

Xiao Yu fell into a tangled mood, he knew that this was Cang Shuliang's ultimatum, if he pressed it too hard, he was afraid that it would backfire, Xiao Yu really didn't want to give up such a famous Confucian, and Cang Shuliang took the initiative to mention going to Meng Yan, which made him feel very uncomfortable, his many pleas were not as good as the cheap disciple's affection, but the reality of the situation did not allow him to be too greedy, just let's talk about it later, "Mr. Cangshu has this intention, I will arrange someone to escort you and Shimei to Shaonan City as soon as possible, if there is a need in the future, just find the little nephew." , the little nephew will do his best! ”

"Then there is the Marquis of Lao Zhanchuan, then the old man will clean up first." Cang Shuliang said lightly, and by the way, he ordered the eviction.
