Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. This is a classic quote from the Tao Te Ching.

But everyone who has read the Tao Te Ching has reached this sentence, and even those who have not read the Tao Te Ching have more or less heard others say this sentence.

However, knowing this sentence and taking it as a warning are two different concepts, which involve the category of knowing and doing.

Tai Jizi once carefully talked about the idea of knowledge and action for Li Yi.

In Li Yi's opinion, Qiao Fugong, as a person who studied Taoist classics, must know the truth that good and bad depend on each other.

According to Li Yi's observations, he felt that Qiao Fugong did not take this as a warning.

Since walking out of Qiao's house, Li Yi has felt that the Qiao family will definitely encounter trouble in the future.

As for why he felt this way, Li Yi couldn't say clearly.

"I've finished the affairs in Duliang County, and my next stop is to go to Yuezhou to visit my father's old friend."

In the inn, Liu Yu began to pack up his salute.

"The master gave me a hexagram before going out, and the hexagram showed in the west: the broken army will go south, the crape myrtle will move east, and the dragon vein will move north."

Liu Yu was dismissive of this.

In Liu Yu's cognition, the knowledge in his father's belly is all good things, and only divination is what Liu Yu doesn't believe the most.

And what he didn't believe was what his mother had told him in private.

But Liu Yu didn't tell Li Yi about his intentions, because he had told others about it.

As a result, others not only did not believe it, but even persuaded him to believe it.

And he's done it more than once.

"In this case, you must pay attention to safety when you go north, after all, there are bandits everywhere now."

"Don't worry, the red sleeve tricks and the turmoil in the hands of the younger brother are not vegetarians."

Li Yi confidently patted the two spears tied diagonally behind his back.

"I am assured of your martial arts, but the most advantageous thing in this world is not weapons, but people's hearts."

Liu Yu is still very concerned about this little brother who he brought back to the mountain.

"Rest assured, eldest brother, the master said that you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't do without the heart to prevent people. I naturally remember. ”

After some entrustment, Liu Yu packed his bags and left Duliang County.

And Li Yi decided to repair for two days and then started his own experience.

As for why he had to repair for two days, it was because he wanted to buy some things for walking in Duliang County.

But before Li Yi finished buying the things he needed, he suddenly heard the forbidden street drum in the county town being sounded together with the morning bell.

There were already few passers-by and vendors on the street, and they all panicked.

Everyone rolled up their belongings haphazardly and began to run around.

Standing in the chaotic crowd, Li Yi felt a little out of place.

Although Taekji has taught herself that no matter what the environment is, it is best to be consistent with others.

But Li Yi didn't know how to keep up with those fleeing passers-by at this time.

However, although he didn't understand what was going on, he still carried his things and walked quickly to the inn.

When he arrived at the door of the inn, he saw that the inn's junior second was panicking and putting the door panels on the door frame piece by piece.

"Little Er, what happened? Why is the morning bell ringing with the evening drum? ”

"Guest officer, come in quickly, if you don't come in, it's too late."

The little two pulled Li Yi into the door, and divided the remaining planks by two.

After the wooden plank completely sealed the door of the inn, Xiao Er sat on the bench in the lobby and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Er, what's going on, why is everyone so panicked?"

Li Yi was really curious about what happened to the people in Liangcheng.

"Guest officer, you can be quiet, those fierce grass soldiers hear our voices here, and we will all be captured."

Xiao Er whispered with a sad face.

"Grass Army? Who are they? ”

Li Yi watched Xiao Er twist his ass and lean into the crack in the door panel and look out, feeling that his appearance was a little funny.

"Grass Army, those people are all strong people with bandits on the rivers and lakes."

"Since they are bandits, why do you feel that you have some respect for them?"

Li Yi listened to Xiao Er's face with a little yearning when he heard these grass armies talk about them.

"Guest officer, how can I respect these bandits?"

Xiao Er looked in the direction of the second floor, but didn't find any other people, so he smiled wryly.

"Anyway, it's okay to come here now, why don't you tell me about this grass army?"

Li Yi was very curious about this grass army that could make the people of the city fearful like a tiger.

"Guest officer, where do I know so much!"

Xiao Er saw that Li Yi was interested in the grass army, and couldn't help but say slyly.

Li Yi saw the cunning that flashed on his face, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"Xiao Er, I won't let you say it in vain, it's just that you tell me what you know about the grass army, and this dime of silver is yours."

As he spoke, Li Yi took out a dime of silver from his belt and put it on the table.

Xiao Er saw that the dimes of silver in Li Yi's hand were not light, and he was immediately overjoyed.

He grabbed Li Yi with one hand, and led to the innermost seat in the lobby with the other.

After Li Yi got up and walked up, Xiao Er naturally smoothed the silver on the table into his sleeve.

After Li Yi sat down, Xiao Er dragged a stool with half of his buttocks on the stool, and his eyebrows fluttered to tell the drafting army.

Under Xiao Er's explanation, Li Yi had a general understanding of the grass army.

The so-called grass army is an army composed of grass bandits.

But in a serious division, the grass army is actually not a normal army, and it is more accurate to say that the grass army is an alliance of grass cowards.

Listening to Xiao Er, the grass army was first formed by the combination of thirteen grass bandits.

These thirteen grass bandits are all well-known big names in the rivers and lakes.

Among them, the most famous is Ling Feibai, the leader of the grass army.

It is rumored that Ling Feibai was originally a scholar, and he was outstanding in reading poetry and books.

Originally, he also planned to go to study and excel, and use Confucianism as a formal way to enter politics.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and his father died a year before Ling Feibai was ready to participate in the imperial examination.

According to the Dayu etiquette system, he must keep filial piety for three years, so he can only live in a house and keep filial piety for his father.

thought that after surviving three years, he would definitely be able to win the title of the gold list in the Toad Palace in the next imperial examination.

But fate played a joke on him again.

Once again, his mother died as he was preparing to take the imperial examination.

So he missed the imperial examination again.

When another three years passed, many of his friends back then were already Hanlin who was famous for the Qionglin banquet and Donghua.

It is said that the hemp rope is broken in detail, and the bad luck is only looking for the miserable.

When Ling Feibai was once again blotting up his confidence and preparing his bags for the exam, something happened to his sister again.

Ling Feibai's sister Lin Zhangcao is Ling Feibai's only relative in this world.

It is said that since ancient times, there have been many troubles.

Because Lin Zhangcao is too beautiful, many people have thoughts about her.

And among them, there are many scoundrels and idlers in the market.

Among this group of people was a scoundrel named Four Dogs, who had been harassing Lin Feibai during the three years that he had been his mother and filial piety.

However, because Lin Zhangcao had already engaged with the Zhu family in the same township at that time.

Therefore, although these four dogs often tease Lin Zhangcao verbally, they dare not behave too much.

But with the arrival of the drought, many people fled to other places to survive, and the Zhu family also fled the village.

Seeing that the Lin family had lost the help of the Zhu family, the hearts of the four dogs began to come alive.

On a rainy night, the four dogs sneaked into Lin's house and wanted to do something bad to Lin Zhangcao.

In the face of the aggression of the four dogs, Lin Zhangcao swore to resist.

Simply her shout alarmed Lin Feibai.

Although it is said that the reader does not lift four taels with his hands, and he has no power to tie the chicken.

But in the face of his sister being violated, Ling Feibai, as a man, still picked up the sickle in the corner.

That night, Lin Feibai took his sister to pack up and flee from his hometown.

It is said that when the servants and officials came to Lin's house the next day, many people vomited on the spot.

After the confirmation of the work, the four dogs were slashed a total of 39 times.

The most ferocious knife is also a fatal one, that is, a knife in the neck.

This knife directly cut off the heads of the four dogs.

The post-mortem said that it was impossible to completely cut off the neck without the strength of one or two hundred catties.

Afterwards, Ling Feibai became a wanted criminal, and he naturally became a bandit.

With his ferocity and wisdom, Ling Feibai quickly became the leader of the bandits.

Next, he began to integrate various bandit forces, and soon made the bandit business bigger and stronger.

The grass army is slowly taking shape in this way.

And the number two person in the grass army is Qi Shouke, who is known as Xiaoyilang in the rivers and lakes.

The life of this second-in-command is also more exciting, he was a smuggler before he fell into the grass.

In the Dayu Dynasty, salt and iron were sold exclusively by the imperial court, and selling salt privately was to kill the head.

Therefore, Qi Shouke had already had a friendship with all kinds of bandits and grass robbers on the rivers and lakes before he fell into the grass.

Later, due to the increasing corruption of the Dayu court, the control of the private salt trade had ceased to exist in name only.

Therefore, a large number of people have joined the industry of buying and selling private salt, which has greatly affected Qi Shouke's business.

In the face of increasingly fierce competition, Qi Shouke did not choose to compete with price reduction.

He chose to use abnormal means to solve his opponents.

Qi Shouke found the local government and sent a large amount of property to the county magistrate, and persuaded the county magistrate to kill all those opponents.

The county magistrate looked at the property sent by Qi Shouke, and then thought that he could still make political achievements by exterminating these illegal salt dealers, so he made a decisive move.

But the outcome of this matter was beyond the imagination of Qi Shouke and the county master.

Soon the county magistrate was taken off by the prefect, and Qi Shouke became a wanted criminal.

Qi Shouke had no choice but to escape, only to learn afterwards that other smugglers had used his tricks to find the prefect.

As a result, the county magistrate became the prefect's political achievements, and most of the private wealth embezzled by the county magistrate went into the prefect's pocket.

To say that this Qi Shouke is also a ruthless person, after being wanted, he actually organized a group of brothers to ambush a wave on the way to the prefect.

Although he failed to kill the prefect, he killed five or six of the prefect's subordinates.

In this battle alone, Qi Shouke became famous in the green forest world and became a representative of ruthless people.

In addition to these two, there are also five tiger generals in the grass army.

These six people are the most famous except for Ling Feibai and Qi Shouke.

One of them, Wolong, is the number one military division of the Grass Army, known as the jade-faced Zhuge - Jun Kezheng.

Jun Ke is a righteous person, as his name is, this person is not only a long jade tree in the wind, but also wise.

He was originally a jinshi of the imperial examination of the Dayu Dynasty, and he originally tasted the Qionglin banquet and walked through the Donghua Gate.

Because he was too handsome, he was recruited into the house by the previous Ministry of Industry Shangshu to be a fast son-in-law of Chenglong.

Originally, he was also a winner in life.

But when the moon is full, the water is overflowing, and the same is true of life.

Jun Kezheng's beautiful life has not been enjoyed for a few years, and his father-in-law was beheaded because he was attacked by political enemies for corruption and provided Dayu weapon production drawings to the steppe wolf court.

He was also implicated and forced to be dismissed, although his wife was not killed, but because she could not accept the blow, she became hysterical and went insane.

Later, he met Ling Feibai, and because of his like-minded interests, he was known as a good friend.

And although the Five Tiger Generals are not necessarily the strongest in the Grass Army, they are definitely the most famous in the Grass Army.

They are: Liu Yuyan, He Junying, Zhao Shiduo, Zhou Shi, Yue Mian.

Among these five people, Liu Yuyan is the head of the five tiger generals, he is bold and righteous, and he is famous in the rivers and lakes.

Before joining the Grass Army, he was already a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes.

It is said that he came from a martial arts family, and his kung fu battles were invincible in several provinces.

Originally, he was a small colonel in the Northern Border Army, but later killed Shangguan because of a feud with Shangguan, and then escaped from the army and fell into the mountains and grass.

He Junying is Liu Yuyan's junior and comrade-in-arms, and He Junying also participated in the whole process when Liu Yuyan committed the crime.

And Zhao Shiduo is Qi Shouke's friend, he was originally also a thug in Yaxing, and his strength is very amazing.

was almost beaten to death because he offended the owner, but fortunately Qi Shouke rescued him and picked up a life.

Since then, he has been following Qi Shouke, from selling smuggled salt to intercepting and killing the prefect, he has never betrayed Qi Shouke.

Zhou Shi was originally the leader of a gang of bandits and was known as a local prestige.

Due to the large number of his subordinates at that time, even the local government could not do anything about him.

Later, Ling Feibai joined them, and Master Zhou was impressed by Ling Feibai and willingly gave up the position of the big boss to Ling Feibai.

The last of the five tigers was Yue Mian, who was originally from the Donghu tribe of the grassland.

Since he was a child, he was trafficked to Dayu, because the surname of the family who bought him was Yue, so he also followed the surname Yue.

Because Yue Mian is from Donghu, his appearance is obviously intended to be a big Yu person.

He has fair skin, a high nose, curly hair, and his pupils are not black but tawny.

Because of this appearance, he has been bullied since he was a child.

But when he grew up, he was much taller than ordinary people and had infinite strength.

Later, due to drought and famine, the family that bought him couldn't afford to supply Yue Mian's food and drove him out.

In addition to the five tiger generals of Wolong, there are many other heroes in the grass army.

For example, Dong Zhongshan, Wu Zhongxiao, Zhang Yixian, Yuan Chongdao、、、、、、

These people are all heroes and heroes worthy of respect in Xiao Er's mouth.

But in Li Yi's opinion, this group of people is not a good person, because his parents and sisters died at the hands of bandits.

Although the bandits who killed his family were not from the grass army, Li Yi was still full of hatred for the bandits.
