The autumn breeze is gentle, and the slightly damp and cold sea breeze faintly brings a little old tone:

Thirty-three in heaven,

The fairy gods are fluttering;

Three thousand three underground,

All beings are busy.

There is a state in the east to win,

Mortals are crowded.

The wind comes to Heyiyi,

Birds of the Fertile Wild;

Winter comes with snow,

The people lamented that they had no food and clothing.

Xiao Hao stood in the courtyard, listening to this desolate tune, but he was a little confused in his heart, "Hey, I don't know where the homeless people came from, this terrible world." Also, this big away from the royal court is also in turmoil, and the building will collapse!"

"Young master, the master called you. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girl came over pretty, looking like Xiao Hao, who looked like fourteen or fifteen years old, but was a little deep, looking a little nervous and a little admired.

"Thank you, Sister Xiang'er. Xiao Hao's voice was crisp, his eyes were pure, and his somewhat deep demeanor just now was swept away, as if it was a mist under the scorching sun and wind.

Xiao Hao, who is thirteen years old and is still imaginary, is very calm, like a little adult, so he looks a little like he is fourteen or fifteen years old. Along the way, with his hands behind his back, he walked leisurely to the front yard. In the eyes of some, it is very old-fashioned.

"Poof......" The little girl Xiang'er couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud all of a sudden. This little young master is also too funny, he is only thirteen years old, but he has to learn this posture, which makes people feel very weird when they see it. However, Xiao Hao was enjoying himself, feeling that he had his hands behind his back, and he was very domineering, the eighth person of the Wang family......

Hearing Xiang'er's laughter, Xiao Hao suddenly stopped, "Sister Xiang'er, everything is in the kitchen." ”

Out of the backyard, when you come to the front yard, you can see two strong men at the door, more than 2o years old, with a long knife pinned to their waists, each leading ten people on patrol, each of whom is walking with a dragon and a tiger in his eyes, all of them are good at one as ten.

"Brother Han Sheng is good, Brother Zhang Yun is good. Xiao Hao's voice was crisp and unpretentious.

"Hello young master. "Han Sheng has thick eyebrows, a dark complexion, a strong figure, and a general's demeanor.

"Hello young master. "Zhang Yun is a little fair-skinned, but he is also a good player, his figure is relatively long, he may read more, and he has a bit of Confucian style.

Although both sides greeted, they did not salute, and even Han Sheng and Zhang Yun's hands were always pressed on the hilt of the knife. In this world, safety always comes first!

Han Sheng and Zhang Yun also grew up with Xiao Hao since childhood, even eating, drinking and training in the same way, of course, this also makes the relationship between the two sides very good, even very iron, which is also one of the ways of inheritance of large families. Of course, this is also a way for some poor families to live, and they can send their children who cannot support them to a big family with a good reputation, and if the children are good, they can also help the family, which is beneficial to both parties. Generally speaking, large families do not have to worry about betrayal, and poor families do not have to worry about being treated as outcasts, and such a relationship has been passed down through thousands of generations.

As soon as Xiao Hao left, Xiang'er walked out with a huge package, looking at the clumsy appearance, leaning back with her waist back, very much Donald Duck. made Zhang Yun, who saw it, laugh all of a sudden, "Xiao Xiang'er, do you need to help?"

"Hee-hee, no, I can do it!" Xiang'er raised her head, her crescent-like eyes were full of sunny colors, and she was about to stride forward, but the little girl accidentally stepped on herself, and she was about to fall with a bang.

"Brush!" Zhang Yun flickered instantly, his figure blurred, and then appeared behind Xiang'er, grabbed Xiang'er's back shirt, and helped Xiang'er up, "Haha, little girl, I'll come." ”

"Hee-hee, thank you, Brother Yun. Xiang'er's eyes were pure, and she didn't look like she had gone through any hardship.

Xiang'er walked in the front, Zhang Yun grabbed a package of more than 3o catties but it was as light as nothing, followed behind, and the two went out of the side door one after the other. Outside the door, there is a muddy world, the muddy ground after the autumn rain, the poor families in thin clothes, but they are busy, but everyone is enjoying the joy of the autumn harvest, and from time to time you can hear the words praising the Xiao family from the peasant mouths.

But the streets are also mixed with some poorer and tattered poor people wandering aimlessly, disrupting this harmony: displaced refugees. Now that the royal court is withering, the edifice is about to collapse, and there are more and more displaced refugees, and Haizhou, which was once barren, has become a well-known and wealthy land!

Of course, there are also some well-dressed local bear children running around. Although almost all of the bear children are in old clothes, their mental outlook is obviously not comparable to that of the homeless.

"Sister Xiang'er is here! Sister Xiang'er is here......" As soon as Xiang'er came out, she was shown by some bear children.

"Sister Xiang'er, my brother is sick, can you give me an extra biscuit?" a seven or eight-year-old child looked eager and sincere.

"Hmph!" Xiang'er's face turned straight, "Little stone, I remember you, you are the youngest in your family!"

Peasant children generally say that a cheap name is easy to feed, so this child is called "stone", not a nickname, of course this is a nickname; In this place, the surname Xiao is a big surname, of course, limited to the local area.

Xiao (Xiao) Shi looked at Xiang'er with a confused, ignorant and innocent expression: "Sister Xiang'er is so smart! Xiao Shi remembers it wrongly, Sister Xiang'er still remembers." That... Be... I asked for my neighbor's brother. ”

"Little stone, it's not a good boy to lie, there is no more of you today!Hmph!" Xiang'er thrust in and snorted coquettishly, "The rest, line up, everyone has it." Little stone, you're last!"

"Oh......" Xiao Shishi walked to the back of the team dejectedly at this time, causing a burst of ridicule from his friends.

"Little stone, you've been disciplined again. Haha......"

After that, Xiang'er opened the package, took out some biscuits and other things inside, and divided each person into three or two pieces according to the size, and the children who got it left happily, some ate it on the spot, and some said that they would take it home to their parents or something.

Many of the refugees who have wandered to the area have seen the excitement and want to come and get a piece of the pie, and hunger has driven them crazy.

Seeing that these people were obviously not locals, Xiang'er stood up suddenly: "Hey, hey, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, this is for children! If you want a bite to eat, walk three miles north here, and the Xiao family is recruiting workers." As long as you work hard, you will have a bite to eat. ”

"That's it, my parents work in the Xiao family, and they have an income of three taels of silver a year, and they are full of food and drink. You can take a leave of absence during busy farming periods. The little stone jumped out again.

The children were very innocent, and soon stood in front of Xiang'er and blocked Xiang'er behind them.

Zhang Yun's footsteps flashed, standing in front of all the outsiders, with a loud bang, the long knife in his hand shining, "Uncles, I know that everyone is in difficulty, although our Xiao family is also a big family, but it is not for the rich and unkind." If you walk three miles to the north, you can see the recruitment location of our family, as long as you work hard, you still have a mouthful of food. You can ask the locals for details. ”

The shiny long knife, like a pool of autumn water, has a little natural dark pattern on it, and it looks like a treasure knife.

"Iron Treasure Knife?!" Among the displaced people, there was a pair of eyes that were exceptionally bright, "A guard of an ordinary big family actually used an Iron Treasure Knife!

Under Zhang Yun's deterrence, the displaced people did not dare to continue to gather here, and some of them were bold and flexible, and after asking the locals about the situation, they decisively pulled a group of companions to the north.

But said that Xiao Hao, at this time, also slowly and leisurely finally shook to the front hall; there were more than a dozen guards around the front hall, some brave, with long knives hanging from their waists, some of them were elegant, carrying swords, and some were sensitive, holding longbows, all of them were not simple characters, they were full of fierce taste; they were full of spirit, and when they were put on the battlefield, they were at least worthy of being a vanguard warrior.

"Hello big brothers, Xiao Hao has seen all big brothers. ”

"Ha, little mouse, I haven't seen you for a few months, how is your martial arts, how about finding a time to learn?" A big man who looked like a bear-waisted tiger slapped Xiao Hao's shoulder hard.

"Hiss...... Third brother, just spare me. A little bean sprout like mine can't make five moves under you. Xiao Hao only felt that these few slaps were about to let his body fall apart.

"Ha, as long as you're still a little sprout, that's how I am at your age. Ten years from now, he will definitely be a pioneer general!"

"General, still a pioneer, forget it, I don't want a horse leather shroud!" Xiao Hao pouted.

"Bastard boy, you don't have a determination at a young age, what can you do when you grow up! Otherwise, as long as you can pick up my three tricks, the third brother will give you a trick, a trick to save your life, this is a trick that the third brother learned from killing when he goes all over the world." Of course, if you can't catch the three tricks, the third brother can also teach you, but just give the third brother a long iron knife, how about it?" The big man who looked majestic, but his eyes flashed with essence.

"Hehe, third brother, a long knife with iron is at least 1o taels of gold outside, this is still the lowest price!1o taels of gold, but 2oo taels of silver, when the third grade of the court is the Yue Feng!" Xiao Hao is not stupid, hehe looked at his third brother.

The "third brother" is actually nearly 3o years old, his name is Xiao Haiyun, and he is the third in the family; but because he is a little backward in terms of generation, he can only be a "third brother" of Xiao Hao when he is an uncle, and belongs to the side branch of the Xiao family.

"Okay, okay, brother, you see my brother is floating on the rivers and lakes, there is a good knife to save your life, do you just watch my brother being stabbed." Otherwise, the mackerel dumplings made by your sister-in-law are the most delicious, and as long as you want to eat them in the future, how about letting your sister-in-law cook them for you?" Finally, the third brother Xiao Hailong began to play the emotional card.

"Hmm...... Okay......" Everyone is like this, and Xiao Hao can only nod. In fact, just a joke, the third brother is pinned to his waist with an iron long knife, and the dozen or so guards around him are all holding iron weapons -- the longbows are all iron tires; but weapons are never enough, in the fierce fighting, the wear and tear is very bad, and it is too normal to change a knife a year; and even in a fierce battle, the knife must be changed after a battle.

It is said that Yang Qianjun, the first warrior of the Dali Dynasty and the general of the Zhenxi Army, fought a day and night in a border battle a few years ago, and replaced 72 long knives, so that after the war, iron filings were all over the place. The battle of cold weapons is actually very tragic.

It's far away, but it's all a little bit related around, and if you agree to one, the other will also agree by the way. However, it is a method like this, Xiao Hao has also learned the killer skills of these people over the years, and he is also a little master.

After talking about tea, Xiao Hao walked into the hall. The hall was a little dim, Xiao Hao's father Xiao Shilong sat in the center, a middle-aged man with a slightly dark face and a little elegance, but the long knife on his waist showed that this elegant middle-aged man was not an honest man to bully.

On the Taishi chairs on both sides, there are seven or eight people sitting on each side, a total of fifteen people, and there are guards behind each of these people; compared to the people at the door, these guards are the elite of the elite, and when you look at them from a distance, you can feel the surging blood in each person's body - at first glance, they are masters, and they are masters who have killed people!

When Xiao Hao came in, everyone was discussing something, and it was very intense.

"Xiao Hao'er, come, let my uncle take a look. Ha, I haven't seen you for a year, I've grown up a lot, and I heard that I've been making a lot of good things recently!" The first person sitting on the right hand of Xiao Hao's father, Xiao Shilong, had a little white temples and a scar on his face, Xiao Hao had been a little afraid of this uncle since he was a child, but now he is not afraid.

"Xiao Hao has seen all the uncles, fathers, uncles, and big brothers. Xiao Hao cupped his fists very elegantly, and then slowly walked to the end of his father's left hand side and sat down.

On Xiao Shilong's left, there are people from the Xiao family, and on the right are people from the Li family, which is on the side of Xiao Hao's mother's family. Although the Xiao family is just an ordinary big family, there are also some intricate relationships, and as far as the eye can see, the dozen or so people in the hall are all relatives within five generations.

But if the Xiao family generally has no emergency, it is impossible to make everyone anxious, let alone find all the in-laws. Although all the people at the scene were talking and laughing, Xiao Hao still saw the heaviness in everyone's faces.

"Xiao Hao, come here, come to my father, we have a problem now, consider our prodigy. Although Xiao Shilong is majestic, he is still very gentle towards his son, and now his only son.

"Good father. Facing everyone's eyes, Xiao Hao naturally stood on his father's left hand.

"Xiao Hao, all of us are here today because we have encountered the biggest problem today, that is, the royal court has finally noticed us here, and the prime minister of the dynasty wants to set up a formal county administration here with us, and is ready to send troops to garrison it.

However, if we do not resist, it is estimated that if the prime minister is charged with any crime at that time, we will have to destroy our family and even be exterminated. There have been a lot of things like this lately!

However, if we directly confront the imperial court, it will be tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car, and it will only hasten our demise! We will need at least two years of preparation time. ”

Xiao Hao was young, but he frowned and listened quietly, "When you are the prime minister, is it Lu Bi, the representative of the miscellaneous family in the Dali royal court?"

Recently, I have been studying at home, and I don't know much about this person and related matters, so I asked my father to solve his doubts. ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Shilong frowned when he heard this name, "This prime minister doesn't say which family he represents, he himself is also a talent, and at the moment when the Dali Royal Court Building was about to fall, he actually relied on his own strength and wrist to support the Dali Royal Court." Hold on to the sky, but that's it!

Prime Minister Lu Bi even compared himself to the minister of Zhongxing who left the royal court, and was determined to leave the royal court: to support the general of the building and turn the tide of the tide. He is honest and talented, and he is fair, at least on the surface, so he is praised from the king to the powerful and the common people.

Rumored: His talent, thorough Confucianism, fine name law, through the latitude and longitude (astronomy), Ming Shu (fortune telling), is praised by the current king as: through the heavens and latitudes, the implementation of the ancient and modern virtuous ability. At the same time, he himself is also the seat of today's nine-rate miscellaneous family in the Dali royal court.

Because both political talent and influence in the family and the people are very significant, three years ago, Lü Bi was promoted to the prime minister of the Dali royal court, under the king, commanding the domestic civil affairs and goods, and the military Shence general and the imperial historian in charge of the officials are at the same level;

In the past three years, Prime Minister Lu Bitong Guò has rectified discipline, re-established the rule of law, vigorously built water conservancy, established official schools, and rectified the imperial examination, so that the Dali royal court actually has the appearance of prosperity.

However, after all, the edifice was about to collapse, and the royal court was short of goods; for this reason, Lü Bitong guò rectified some rotten places, encouraged trade, etc., so that the royal court had some capital. But in the end, it is not enough.

Therefore, the prime minister also looked at some gaps that he was reluctant to step in. The gap is the place at the junction of some states and counties, which is generally not big, narrow and narrow, but these places are indeed rich in oil and water. In the previous year, the prime minister had brought enough benefits to the royal court and expelled the cold men in those gaps.

And our Haizhou is a gap.

Now, the prime minister has actually looked at us, we have already gotten some cooperative relations, and learned that the prime minister has written that he will be in Haizhou in two months at most, and it will be difficult for us to resist the royal army, and there will be no allies!

There are also our Xiao family and Li family, which are also Han families, once the prime minister stretches out his hand, what awaits us will only be the fate of the Manchus.

So, we have to come together now to discuss, but there is nothing good to do for the time being.

This is already the most dangerous moment for us! We don't have enough ability to compete with the imperial court!"

After Xiao Shilong finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Hao tightly, Xiao Shilong had high hopes for his son. Since he was a child, he was able to read and write at the age of two, learned the method of boiling salt at the age of three, and began to delineate a base in the Beishan area at the age of five, where he studied all kinds of strange skills, and made the Xiao family a wealthy family in just a few years.

And Xiao Hao is also pondering after listening to his father's explanation, although he has been studying recently and has been doing his own things, it is not that he is not blind to things outside the window, but it is not comprehensive.

But at this moment, in the face of such difficulties, there is also a sense of powerlessness. Although I have been in this world for more than ten years, the preparation is far from enough, and the team can only be said to be a seed now, and it will take a little time to truly grow into a towering giant tree. But it is clear that the immediate danger must be addressed.

Considering the current crisis, Xiao Hao only felt that a huge crisis hung over his head. The Xiao family, to put it mildly, is a big family and a wealthy family, but in fact it is just a family of smugglers, the kind that cannot be seen. Looking at the world, such a family can only be called a poor family, and the family is not even allowed to take the imperial examination!

It is said that the location of the Xiao family is Haizhou, but this state is very small, and it is just a "state" that laughs at itself, in fact, there is only one county, the east is near the sea, but more than half of the places in the west and the inner 6 are mountains, and there is even the highest peak in the royal court -- the Goddess Peak! In this world where people live on food, the amount of arable land directly represents the amount of wealth. In Haizhou, excluding the mountainous and saline-alkali land, the remaining fertile arable land is pitiful. Its north is Yunzhou, and the south is Gyeongju, both of which are the granaries of the Dali royal court, both of which are states within a radius of 5oo miles;

Haizhou, on the other hand, was a natural place of chaos because it was located in a gap and had no jurisdiction over it, and no officials liked it, so it became a natural place of chaos, and the Xiao and Li families, who were born and raised here, were two of the more famous ones. Among them, the Xiao family is a smuggler of salt, and the Li family is a dart, anyway, it is not a legitimate industry, and the Jianghu family is just a poor family.

It's just that Haizhou is barren and has almost no space for exhibition, but perhaps it is barren, which has caused the people of Haizhou to be fierce, and here is close to the sea, and private salt is prevalent, so it has become a well-known private salt resort, and many darts and smugglers come here to make money.

But after Xiao Hao was born and sensible more than ten years ago, things changed. First, the Xiao family began to make refined salt, and then the two families began to expand, and by the way, Haizhou began to become rich.

Obviously, Haizhou, which has become rich, has become fat in the eyes of others; for example, at the moment, the prime minister is optimistic about Haizhou, at least, it seems that this is the case for now.

The surroundings were quiet, and everyone looked at Xiao Hao. The people here are all trustworthy core personnel, and everyone vaguely knows that Xiao Hao, the little guy, is extraordinary. When everyone was about to lose patience, Xiao Hao slowly spoke: "Now the big departure from the Royal Mansion is about to tilt, it is no longer just a superficial problem, but it has been ** from the foundation." Therefore, even if Lu Bi is ten times more virtuous, he can only let the Dali Wang Court linger!

Therefore, as long as we can survive the present, we will be fine. Even, Haizhou has been a fierce folk since ancient times, and perhaps we are not without opportunities. ”

What do you have the opportunity to do? Xiao Hao didn't explain, but the eyes of all the people present lit up! Everyone is not stupid, of course they know what it is!

"Xiao Hao'er, let's not talk about what will happen in the future, what should we do now! Seeing that the imperial court has already looked at us, let's find a way to get through the present first!"

Xiao Hao turned his head, "Uncle, I already have an idea." Now whoever has a map of the Great Departure Royal Court, it doesn't need to be very accurate, a general map is enough. In addition, it mainly marks the distribution of gaps in the territory of the Great Departure Palace. ”

"It's simple, we've been walking darts for years, and we don't have detailed maps, but we still have a rough idea. After the uncle Li Yulong finished speaking, he took out a stack of cloth from his arms, on which there were maps marked with black, red, blue and other colors and different symbols. In such a world, such a map is a military-level secret, and even if ordinary people have it, they don't dare to take it out openly, and if they are caught, they will be killed-what are your intentions, there is such a secret map.

While listening to his uncle's explanation, Xiao Hao enriched his own thoughts, and gradually a mature idea jumped out. Bow your hand to the surroundings:

"Uncles, the kid already has an idea, but it's just an immature idea, let's improve it together. ”

"Tell me about it. Xiao Shilong looked at his son with satisfaction, although he only had one son, he was smart and clever, and he knew so many things, although he only had one son, but he was enough to be qualified for hundreds of other people's descendants!

"Yes, father. Uncles, let me ask you a question, what do you think the king cares about the most today?"

Everyone's lost in thought.

"Hey, you still need to think about this thing, of course it's a seat under your buttocks!" Uncle Li Yulong was the first to react.

Xiao Hao looked at his uncle, who was really able to lead the Li family to the world, he was really not a simple character, although his words were rude, but he went straight to the essence.

"Uncle is right, as a king, no matter what kind of thoughts and actions you have, the essence of it is to maintain your own rule.

Including the current situation, the promotion of Lu Bi, the representative of the miscellaneous family, as the prime minister, and the rectification of the gaps, etc., it is said that it is good for the world, and the most direct thing is for his own seat.

And in the same way, as the prime minister, he himself is the representative of the miscellaneous family in the Dali royal court, so what he does must be for the miscellaneous family and not completely for the people of Li who are leaving the royal court!"

"Okay! Well said!" Li Yulong roared.

"Thank you, uncle, for the compliment. Xiao Hao saluted slightly, his eyes shining, "Since we have talked about the essence, then we have the power to borrow." In the current situation, it is difficult for us to contend with it on our own, and we can't find a direct and powerful ally, so there is only one situation, let the king resign this prime minister!"

"This can't be!" Xiao Shilong spoke at this time, don't brag, boy, the prime minister has already saved such a big decline for the royal court, how can he resign this prime minister!

But next to him, Li Yulong had already thought of something, and looked at Xiao Hao with bright eyes.

"Father, although Prime Minister Lu Bi's actions seem to have brought prosperity to the Dali royal court, they are only appearances. In the 5oo years since he left the royal court, he has accumulated shortcomings and has long been terminally ill, and now he is just returning to the light.

It is conceivable that such an action of the prime minister will inevitably create countless enemies in the court and infringe on the interests of countless people; and we only need to give these people an interface, and we will sit back and watch the rest of the situation change.

Hmph, it's just a little prime minister, and it's really not worth mentioning compared to the world. This petty official is troublesome, but the good prime minister has no vision! But in any case, for the sake of our stability and in order to reduce future troubles, we can only get rid of him at once!

We do.

Uncle should be able to contact some minor officials, use money to open the way, we will draft a petition form, and send it to the royal court.

In addition, father, we must let everyone in the world know the prime minister's 'intentions'!

Although on the surface he seems to be a good prime minister, he should never have reached out to us!

Those officials and family members whose interests have been infringed upon are our allies! As long as we send an excuse, they will push the matter down! Ha, I don't believe that Lu Bi still has a chance to find our bad luck now. ”

At the end, Xiao Hao's tone was sonorous and powerful, and there was a kind of heroic temperament on his small body.

This momentum erupted in an instant, but it was fleeting. However, even so, it still attracts a little attention.

In the Confucian Temple, the long-lasting lamp of public morality flickered suddenly! A pale old man suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with golden light, thoughtful!

In the Wudang Secret Mansion, an old Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes, a soft white light flashed in his eyes, and the yin and yang fish slowly circling in front of him seemed to tremble. The old Taoist priest slowly spoke: "How many times is this? Could it be that the world is about to be in chaos and heroes are coming out?"

Hey, since the aura of heaven and earth began to dissipate tens of thousands of years ago, now the aura has been thinned to the limit, and there is no hope of immortality in a hundred years of cultivation!

Could it really be that the great changes in heaven and earth are about to begin!

Legend has it that if people have a return to light, so will heaven and earth. Perhaps, there will be a short period of revival!"
