A bonfire was lit by the pond outside the small wooden building.

Li Chenan and others sat around the bonfire, eating roast chicken, drinking soju, and listening to Dongfang Bai tell a story about the past.

The story was simple, but it was unexpected.

Matsuyama Kenshin is located on top of Matsuyama.

At the foot of Songshan is a small village called Xiejiazhuang.

There is a hunter named Xie An in Xiejiazhuang, and Xie An has a daughter, known as Xie Dajiao.

"Her feet are really big!"

"She can't say how beautiful, but she's very diligent......"

Dongfang Bai looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan, "When your mother was young, in order to subsidize the family, she took over the work of washing in the Sword Courtyard. ”

"She was six or seven years old."

"She often comes to the Sword Academy, so she often watches us practice martial arts."

"My sister said that her talent in martial arts is extremely high,"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan interrupted Dongfang Bai's words at this time, "Who is your sister?" ”

Dongfang Bai lowered his head, and after a while, he said: "Dongfang Hong, the head of the Songshan Sword Academy!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Chenan and the others were taken aback.

Because Dongfanghong is over sixty years old, but Dongfangbai is only forty...... This sister and brother are really too far apart.

Only then did Wang Zhenghaoxuan know that this person still had such a terrifying identity.

"Then how did you get to this place?"

"Because this place is good, pure, clean, cleansed, and can understand the sword."

"Okay, you just said that my mother's martial arts talent is extremely high...... But how do I remember that my mother doesn't know martial arts at all? ”

Dongfang Bai glanced at Wang Zhenghaoxuan: "Your father's skills are okay, but have you ever seen your father dare to bully your mother?" ”

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was dumbfounded.

Oh, yes!

Since he can remember, his father has always behaved obediently in front of his mother, and he doesn't look like an errand boy in the Imperial City Division at all.

Well, Daddy is as docile as a little sheep in front of his mother!

Dad said, that's called mutual affection!

Now it seems that Dad has no power to resist!

Wang Zhenghaoxuan immediately leaned over and asked curiously, "My mother...... What is the realm? ”

Dongfang Bai shook his head: "I have left the Songshan Sword Academy for a full twenty years, and I only know that twenty years ago, I was not your mother's opponent!" ”

Li Chenan and the others were also stunned!

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was stunned!

He looked at Dongfang Bai with wide eyes, and after a while, he pursed his lips and muttered, "So...... My mother is at least a mid-level skill? ”

"My dad is only in the second realm...... He really can't beat my mother! ”

"It's just that since my mother learned the swordsmanship of the Songshan Sword Academy, why did she let my father send me to the Mushan Sword?"

Dongfang Bai shook his head: "I have to ask your mother when you go back." ”

Wang Zhenghaoxuan sighed for three breaths, and then asked: "Since my mother has such a high level of martial arts, why has she never walked the rivers and lakes?" As far back as I can remember, she stayed at home and did the same chores that an ordinary woman did. ”

"She's so hidden, could it be that there are some other enemies in my family?"

Dongfang Bai grinned.

At this moment, he didn't have the cold appearance he had when he was a swordsman, and this smile was a little more kind uncle.

"Your mother is different!"

"She's just curious about martial arts!"

"When she was young, she went up the mountain to do the work of washing, and when she saw us practicing martial arts, she only needed to watch it once, and she could never forget the sword moves she had seen!"

"My sister was happy when she saw it, so she taught her the inner strength of the heart."

"She practices occasionally, and more often than not, she does her own thing."

"My sister really wanted to admit her to the Songshan Sword Academy, but she refused without hesitation?"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was stunned: "Why refuse?" ”

"She said she wanted to make money, and my sister said to give her silver, but she said that she was mainly not interested in martial arts."

"My sister is puzzled, after a few years, I learned that your mother doesn't like to practice martial arts, because practicing martial arts is already used to strengthen the body, she is very worried that her feet will become bigger, and it will not be easy to marry in the future!"

“……”

Wang Zhenghaoxuan felt that his mother's reason for not liking martial arts training was unassailable.

"But since she doesn't like to practice martial arts, why weren't you her opponent twenty years ago?"

"Because she practiced for a year later!"

She practiced for a year!

In just one year, Dongfang Bai, a disciple of the Songshan Sword Academy who has been practicing for more than ten years, is not Xie Dajiao's opponent!

This talent is so strong!

“…… Why did she practice for another year? ”

"Because she met your father Wang Zheng Jinzhong when she was going down the mountain one time!"

"What does this have to do with my dad?"

"Your mother fell in love with your father, and she decided to arrest your father back as a father-in-law!"

"She later learned that your father was on an errand in the Imperial City Division, so she practiced martial arts for a year, and stayed outside the Imperial City Division on that winter night eighteen years ago, and really snatched back your father who had just come out of the Imperial City Division!"

"That's what you kid!"

Wang Zhenghao was stunned.

Li Chenan and the others immediately admired the woman named Xie Dajia in their hearts!

Dongfang Bai raised his eyebrows and stood up.

"That's pretty much it, so if your mother practices a little seriously...... I'm afraid I'm already a half-step great master now! ”

"If you have half your mother's talent...... You won't be able to reach the second level! ”

"Talk, it's time for me to change the guard!"

Dongfang Bai turned away.

Amu looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan at this time: "Little junior brother...... The master said that your martial arts talent is extremely high, it seems that this is your mother, but don't waste your talent, the master hopes that you can step into the realm of the great master as soon as possible! ”

Wang Zhenghaoxuan hung his head and muttered: "But I also inherited my mother's temperament that she doesn't like to practice martial arts!" ”

"Martial arts training is very tiring and boring, where is the stewed dog meat to eat?"

Speaking of eating dog meat, Li Chenan asked:

"Tell me what's going on with catching dogs all over the city?"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan suddenly became interested, and told Li Chenan everything that had happened since entering the city.

He was overjoyed.

This statement was out of control.

Li Chenan also listened carefully, grinning occasionally, and did not have half a word to blame Wang Zhenghaoxuan.

Because some of what Wang Zhenghaoxuan said does have some truth.

For example, build a Ning Straight Road.

I still remember that there was a Qin Straight Road in my previous life.

Such a path would be of great benefit to both the economy and the war.

For example, let Tian Xiurong implement a new tax law in Youzhou, which does have a pilot effect.

As for letting Tian Xiurong send people all over the city to catch dogs......

"Tomorrow, you call Natian Xiurong to see him and tell him that he has caught the people's dogs and has to compensate the people's silver!"

"You tell him that as an official, reputation is the first priority."

"Since he wants to be the Dao platform of the Northern Desert Dao, his reputation is even more important!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was stunned: "Aren't you here?" Why did I tell him? ”

"Isn't it a goof for me to show up now? You're still playing my part, and I still have something to do in secret. ”

"Oh......"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan leaned over: "Let me tell you, Tian Xiurong is a good official, you have to be useful!" ”

Li Chenan laughed.

At this moment, he gave up the idea of taking Tian Xiurong.

Tian Xiurong has been in office for more than 20 years, and he must have been greedy for a lot of silver.

Let him come out of Xiuning's straight silver!

It was a huge amount of silver, and the silver in Tian Xiurong's pocket was definitely not enough.

With Wang Zhenghaoxuan setting a rule for him not to exploit the people, and with the people of the Imperial City Division staring, he can only think of a way from the heads of those salt merchants!

In addition, it is indeed impossible for him to stay in Youzhou City for long, and there is no suitable person to take over Youzhou City for the time being.

Autumn 8th floor went to Kyoto...... Gotta stuff this guy to Youzhou!

The implementation of the new tax law always has to be carried out.

Then Tian Xiurong will take the lead in this matter and see how the officials in the other states react.

It's just that all of this must be under the supervision of the Imperial City Division.
