Chapter 379: Before the Banquet
Chapter 379: Before the Banquet
"Prime numbers?" Li Chengtao asked in amazement.
It was the first time he had heard this word, and the man secretly wondered in his heart: Is it still meat and vegetables to count?
"Prime numbers are prime numbers. Yi Xifeng shook his head helplessly and muttered softly.
He knew that Li Chengtao wanted to understand what he was saying, at least he had to speak for three days and digest a set of "unheard-of" theoretical systems before he could understand the meaning.
So the white young man didn't plan to entangle too much again, but fortunately, after all, the captain of the mountain patrol team had been with Yi Xifeng for many years, so he naturally knew that this little ghost sometimes liked to talk nonsense, and he didn't take this matter to heart.
Li Chengtao thought for a while and said: "For more than a month, I will be in Yinren Town, if you have any confusion, come and ask me!"
Yi Xifeng instantly noticed the subtle changes in the other party's mood, raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and said in a low voice: "In a year and a half, I will become your rivers and lakes, naturally I will ask if I am confused, why limit myself to this month?"
The young man chuckled and muttered, "You little ghost, if you want to inquire about something, just say it, why do you need to beat around the bush like this?"
Yi Xifeng took out the green jade wine gourd on his waist, opened the stopper and took a sip. Said indifferently:
"In a little more than a month, will we do it?"
"It's not us, it's me!" Li Chengtao said indifferently.
"Who is that enemy?Helian Family?Fallen Leaf City?" Yi Xifeng asked with a solemn face.
The other party was silent for a long time, and said softly: "If that's all there is, it's easy to say...... There are some things that you will know later. However, in either case, let's improve your strength first!"
With that, the young man put on his hood and left the clearing along the kendo trail. Only Yi Xifeng was left standing here silently drinking.
Although Yi Xifeng's heart was full of doubts, he knew that there would definitely be a big battle waiting for them, and in this battle, with his current strength, he might not be able to help at all.
I don't know how long it took, the white pure young man put away the green jade gourd, looked at the snow-covered kendo path, and muttered: "If it's really a prime number, what does this mean? Is it just a coincidence? What is this so-called Heavenly Dao?"
......
After the winter in Deciduous Leaf County, the weather is naturally getting colder day by day, and the winter in the early years was a very difficult thing for the people of Deciduous County, but fortunately, this time is different from the past, at least in Yinren Town, the life of the people is not as bitter as before.
This year, Chunfeng Town brought in a lot more fresh river food than in previous years, and there were also a lot more vendors selling river fresh food in the market.
Liu held her infant son and looked at her sleeping son, her eyes cast a wave of love, she carefully removed the fish soup simmering on the stove, and then used a cage cloth to strain the fish bones and minced meat inside, leaving the milky white fish soup. Then put it in a bowl and wait for my son to wake up before drinking.
This baby was originally at the age of drinking breast milk, but unfortunately Liu's own body and bones are not very good, and the milk is insufficient. I had to listen to the home remedies of the sister-in-law next door and stew some fish soup for him to drink.
It may be that the firewood in the stove is damp due to the snow, and a crisp popping sound from the stove suddenly wakes up the sleeping baby.
Wow wow wow......
The woman put down the bowl of fish soup, ran quickly, gently picked the baby up from the cradle, patted him on the back slowly, and said softly:
"Bo'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. ”
With the woman's soft comfort, the baby stopped crying and fell asleep again.
Liu put the baby named "Bo'er" back in the cradle, and looked at him soundly asleep, and the woman's pale face showed a smile. But when she turned her head, she noticed a dark shadow outside the window.
Liu didn't panic, obviously she was used to it. She glanced back at the sleeping baby in her swaddling clothes, then turned and walked out of the small hut.
Although the hut is small, it is very warm, even if the wind and snow outside the house are mixed for days.
At this time, there was a person standing outside the house, measuring seven feet seven, wearing an iron suit, reflecting the snow, which showed that the man was tall.
"Why did you only boil fish soup for him?" asked the man unhurriedly.
Liu Shi gave a blessing to the man, and said softly: "When I was pregnant with him, I suffered from some wind and cold, and the milk was not enough for him to eat......"
The man didn't say anything, nodded, and handed the package in his hand to the woman.
Liu hesitated for a moment, but still took the package, she knew that there were some silver taels and clothes in it, and this man had been here before.
"Astoo...... Is it okay?" even though she had asked this question many times, every time she saw this group of guards in iron armor, Liu couldn't help but ask it again.
The man's figure paused slightly, he didn't look back, just nodded silently, and then disappeared into the wind and snow.
The woman looked at the package in her hand, and couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she actually knew in her heart that Ah Diao might not be able to come back in this life, otherwise he would not let her orphans and widows face all this independently......
The man in the iron suit of the guard braved the wind and snow and came to another gate garden, compared to the warm hut of Ah Diao's house just now, this place is much more desolate, he knocked on the door several times, but still no one answered.
At this time, an old woman in the neighborhood walked out of the door on the side.
"Old man, is this He Hou's home?" the man asked softly.
The old woman looked at the man in iron in front of her and muttered, "It's his house, but there is no one anymore!"
"Well, why doesn't he have an old mother at home?" the man asked with a frown.
The old woman shook her head and said, "My son is gone, she will be blind in autumn, and she didn't survive the snow a few days ago!"
The man stood in the wind and snow for a while, then turned around again and disappeared into the wind and snow.
......
Yinren Town, Zhao Family Courtyard.
As the six major families of Yinren, Zhao Yunming, the head of the family, controls the famous salary list organization in Fallen Leaf County, and his power and influence are also the number one figure in the entire Yinren Town. And his brother Zhao Yuntian is the actual controller of Tiexin Village.
Therefore, since Yinren successfully annexed Tiexin, the Zhao family has faintly surpassed the Li family and become the new Yinren second family!
At this time, Zhao Yunming stood alone in the courtyard of the Zhao family, watching the snowflakes in the sky fall into the courtyard.
"My lord, the man who sent out has returned. At this time, a woman dressed in iron guards bowed down and said to the tall and thin middle-aged man.
"Well, how's that?"
"The other people's families are fine, that is, Ah Diao's widow Liu, the life of orphans and widows is a little difficult. And then there's what, his mother is gone......," the woman said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Yunming didn't respond for a long time, he looked at the snowflakes that were slowly melting in his palm, and sighed: "Snow has shape, and it also has sex! People have selfishness and righteousness! Take family as selfishness and sacrifice one's life for righteousness!"
"My lord, we want to take some money out of the list......" the woman asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Yunming shook his head and said softly: "The wealth of the list is not the wealth of my Zhao family, how can I be generous to others? Go to the housekeeper and receive an extra fifty taels of silver per household every month, just say what I said!"
"That'...... Isn't that the monthly expense of more than 5,000 taels?!" The woman in the iron coat asked with wide eyes and stunned.
Zhao Yunming didn't answer her question, but just indifferently ordered: "Go and do it!"
When the woman heard this, she immediately straightened up, slapped her left shoulder with her right fist, and said in a deep voice: "No!"
When she retreated, Zhao Yunming slapped away the snow accumulated in his palm and muttered:
"Before you sacrifice your life for righteousness, Zhao will scatter your wealth and help you!"
......
After more than half an hour, the wind and snow outside gradually stopped, and Zhao Yunming looked at the group of guards in iron clothes who gathered in the courtyard again, including the men who went to deliver things to Ah Diao's family and He Hou's family before, and the woman who had just reported here.
At this time, they all focused their eyes on the tall and thin middle-aged man.
"Seven days later, it will be Yunxi Day! Three days later, we will leave!" Zhao Yunming said indifferently.
Hearing this, the more than ten guards who gathered here at this time flashed a trace of solemnity in their eyes.
"Don't worry, follow the plan!" Zhao Yunming added with a smile.
In fact, there is another sentence that he did not say.
This time to go to the Fallen Leaves City for a banquet, it is definitely not something that the forces of the Rising List can handle. Their task, on the contrary, is much simpler, which is to control the intelligence in their hands.
At the same time, he remembered Qingzhu, who had been busy since two months ago......
If it is said that the responsibility of the organization is to fight with the foundation of the intelligence community in the past few decades, and the patrol team responsible for security issues must really fight with strength.
The tall and thin middle-aged man smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "I'm old, you're still young!"
............ Dividing line ............
Hidden Towns, Presbyterian Church.
It's rare that this time the huge lobby is no longer as empty as before. Lin Hengshan, Lin Dongyue, Li Yunbo, Qi Chunhui, these four people who stood at the top of Yinren's power were all present.
In addition, Li Chengtao, the captain of the mountain patrol team, Zhao Yunming, the leader of the salary list organization, Li Chengqian, the head of the Xiyi family, Zhong Qianhe, the head of the Zhong family, and Wang Meng, the head of the Wang family, all gathered here.
This time, Lin Hengshan did not wear the coarse linen clothes that he often wore, nor did he wear the pair of straw sandals. Instead, he wore a white coat.
This piece is a little yellowish, presumably still old, but there is a faint pattern embroidered with silver thread on the big coat, like a cloud.
This piece of Dayu is from the famous Yunxiao Army!
I want to think that the Yunxiao Empire dominated the world and became the first power in the world! It was recognized by the ten powerful countries in the world and became the hegemon of the world, and the Yunxiao Kingdom became the fifth empire in the annals of history!
As the so-called royal power is level, the emperor's industry shocks the world. The establishment and rise of a country only needs to control thousands of miles of land to establish a country and become a king!
But if you want to become an emperor, you need to be recognized by all the countries in the world. Where there are historical materials that can be checked, in the past 10,000 years, there have been more than 10,000 counties, more than 1,000 principalities, and there are nearly 100 countries like Luo Yunguo that can be called emperors.
However, there are only five empires that can achieve the imperial cause, and the Yunxiao Empire is the last one.
It is often said that the annihilation of every empire is accompanied by the passing of an era.
Hundred miles of flat sky, the Empire of the Clouds, this is the mark of that era.
And today, it is naturally the era of the Eight Great Sects.
Zhong Qianhe looked at Lin Hengshan, who was sitting at the top, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Yunxiao Holy Robe! If it was placed a hundred years ago, no matter who wore this big robe, it would be the treatment of the monarch wherever he went.
In the past, the Celestial Empire was awarded to foreign missions, or those with great merit, who sent envoys or went to any principality. The county will be treated like a local emperor and king.
This is not only the courtesy of the countries of the world to the Yunxiao Empire, but also a symbol of its imperial industry!
......
"All of you here are your own people, I don't need to say more! This time I went to the Fallen Leaf City for the banquet, which is the first time that I have been sent by Yinren since its establishment. It is also the day when we let the people of the world recognize the clouds again!" Lin Hengshan said in a deep voice.
Everyone in the audience looked stunned, and obviously heard their boss's plan.
"General, give the order!" As the former first pioneer, Li Yunbo was the first to speak up. Among them, the eagerness to try is naturally needless to say.
Of course, in front of this Cloud Sky Holy Robe, I'm afraid that except for these old men, others are not qualified to speak.
"Lin Dongyue listens to the order!" the old man said indifferently.
The burly Great Elder replied, "The old minister is here!"
"Order you to guard Yinren Town, and after I leave, preside over all important administrative affairs, and have the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot!" Lin Hengshan commanded in a deep voice.
"No!" the Great Elder didn't have any nonsense, and responded directly.
"Li Yunbo listens to orders!" the old man continued.
The second elder, who had been eager to try, shouted in a deep voice: "The old minister is here!"
"I order you to assist Zhao Yuntian, garrison Tiexin Village, and preside over all important military and political affairs!" Lin Hengshan said slowly.
"Qi Chunhui obeys the order!"
Qi Laosan changed his previous appearance and said, "The old minister is here!"
"I order you to command the military guards left behind in Yuanyinren Village, and preside over all important military and political affairs!" Lin Hengshan glanced deeply at the three old men present.
The three elders immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, "I will live up to the general's trust!"
Then the old man looked at Zhong Qianhe and Wang Meng, as the two major families of Yinren Town, even if Tiexin was merged, but under the trend of deliberate suppression and annexation by the Yinren forces, the current six families in Yinren Town are still Lin, Li, Zhao, Qi, Wang, and Zhong.
"General, but there are orders, we will do everything we can!" Zhong Qianhe and Wang Meng are not like the three elders, they are friends of life and death with Lin Hengshan, so they naturally dare not waste their etiquette.
Without waiting for Lin Hengshan's command, he immediately bowed down and said.
"Qianhe and Brother Meng, don't be nervous, I am in Hengshan, you all know me, this time I went to the fallen leaves, just to show off!" the old man replied with a smile.
The head of the Zhong family and the head of the Wang family glanced at each other, did not dare to say much, regardless of Lin Hengshan's failure to make it difficult for the two of them, and continued: "The trade with Chunfeng Town is also presided over by Brother Qianhe. ”
Zhong Qianhe promised.
"When I come back this time, I'm about to go to the opening of the mountain festival, and all the affairs in the village, Brother Meng will also help arrange it together!"
Wang Meng immediately nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, general, Meng understands!"
In the end, Lin Hengshan looked at Li Chengtao, Li Chengqian and Zhao Yunming.
"Cheng Qian, Cheng Tao, the trip to the fallen leaves, with the two of you, can it be done!" The old man was obviously very happy, after all, the two brothers of the Li family can be regarded as the strongest martial artists in Yinren Town at present, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find someone who can match them if you look at the entire Fallen Leaves County!
As juniors, the two naturally bowed down to their promises.
Finally, he glanced at Zhao Yunming, who had been standing in the corner, and said with a smile: "Yunming......"
The tall and thin middle-aged man didn't wait for Lin Hengshan to finish speaking, and then he replied: "I wish the general a triumphant return!"
