Lu Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Big brother, who is this Hong Zhong?"

Yang Mujie said: "I want to ask Hong Zhong, a person from Qiantang, a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Chenghua, at the beginning of Hongzhi, the official worshiped Sichuan according to the envoy, at that time, the prefect of Mahu was abusive and abused, since the Tang Dynasty, Mahu has an An clan, the power is great, the local people hate it to the bone, there is a division of the yamen but dare not ask, so he has been rampant in Mahu for more than 20 years. Later, Qu Rui asked the inspector Zhang Luan to punish the crime according to the law, Hong Zhong readily agreed, led the troops to arrest An Xi, sent him to the capital, and sentenced him to death. Since then, Mahu has changed from a hereditary local official to a rogue official, and he has been peaceful. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, he was promoted to the right deputy capital of the imperial history, the governor of Shuntian, the rectification of the Jizhou border preparation, the recital, the construction of the wall, from the northwest of Shanhaiguan to the ancient north entrance of Miyun, from Huanghua Town to Juyong Pass, extending for thousands of miles, recovering 270 castles, in this way, can reduce the autumn soldiers 6,000 people, and save tens of thousands of dollars in the province. At that time, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, etc., asked to follow, but when the mountain was chiseled, the mountain and rocks cracked, crushed hundreds of people, and were impeached by the imperial history Yifu and Ma Yucong in the matter, when the work was completed, the squire Zhang Da and the lieutenant officer went to inspect, and saw that the land near the border was sandy and stonely, and it was not suitable for farming, and he was impeached again in the matter. ”

"It seems to be a clean official. However, I am afraid that I am not very clever in reading and reading, and if the military system is not changed, what is the use of repairing the city wall? As soon as the enemy army arrives, the general cannot afford to wear armor, and the soldiers cannot hold swords and guns, and they will die when they go into battle. Governing the country and fighting a war can't just talk about the army on paper, what to reduce the 6,000 autumn soldiers, what year to save tens of thousands of dollars, it's just fart, and in the end you can't even get back the capital. ”

Qu Sanye asked, "Sixth brother, do you think Hong Zhong can win the battle?"

"There should be no problem in winning the battle, Liao Hui and the others are probably not as good as him. ”

Yang Mu nodded, "Sixth brother, how long do you think it will take to suppress the bandits?"

Lu Chuan thought for a moment, "It should be clear in half a year, but if you want to exterminate them all, I'm afraid it will take another year and a half." Wenchen has a problem with most of the soldiers, that is, it is too procrastinating, but I don't know that the speed of the soldiers is reasonable, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you don't give the other party enough time to react, you will naturally win half of the victory, in addition, with 100,000 armor, thousands of miles of food, military supplies is a large amount of expenditure, if you can save food money in the army, it is not a problem to relieve the victims. These officials will be in unnecessary provinces, but the places in the province are not at all, I don't believe you look, if Hong Zhong can catch Liao Hui and the three of them within a year, I Lu Chuan will cut off his head and give it to him. ”

"Sixth brother, what would you do if you were asked to lead the troops?"

"Naturally, the soldiers were paid double salaries, and they took advantage of the New Year's Festival to send troops, encircled Baoning on three sides first, and then took Baoning as the starting point, and spread to Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Huguang to suppress Yu Kou. In this way, at least in March, at most half a year, Sichuan and Shu will inevitably restore tranquility. ”

"Sixth brother, don't forget, there will be no troops during the New Year's Festival. ”

"Who said this when the New Year is not going to send troops? Who said this? Zhou Li? The Zhou Dynasty was so polite, how could there be a rebellion between the five hegemons and the seven kingdoms? How could the world be returned to Qin? Where can the soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the land of death and life, and the way of survival?"

"However, if it really takes a year or even two years to exterminate it, I am afraid that it will ......."

"What the eldest brother said is right, what I'm afraid of is this matter, if someone else responds, it won't be something that Hong Zhong can settle down. Big brother, apart from King Ning, do you know any other prince who has rebellion? Although it is difficult for the people to rebel, it is even more troublesome for the prince to make trouble. ”

"Something else...... Hey, Sixth Brother, you said that King Ning was against him? How do you know?"

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, "Big brother doesn't know, I've been to King Ning's Mansion and I've seen King Ning." ”

Yang Mu pretended not to know, so he asked, "Oh, what did King Ning say?"

"King Ning didn't say anything, no matter what I tried to say about him, he just didn't say a word about rebellion. ”

"And then?"

Then he invited me to his study, and then asked me for advice. ”

Yang Mu smiled, "It seems that you are still alive by you." ”

"No, it's not that he was so happy by what I said, but that he had already rebelled. I found out that this man didn't tell the truth at all. ”

"Oh?"

"He probably didn't know that I had been to Jiangxi, so he told me that he asked for the right to protect the bandits, but I didn't know that I had seen it with my own eyes in Guixi, there were only women and children in the fields, not a single man, I asked, and the people said that they were all arrested by King Ning to serve as a personal guard, and I also met people in King Ning's mansion who came out to catch strong men, who were more horizontal than bald tail dogs. How many troops does King Ning want to capture all the men in the entire township?" Lu Chuan took a sip of tea and continued, "But I have to say that if he takes the opportunity to make trouble this time, he will simply ask for his own suffering." Since Zhu Houzhao can listen to my father-in-law's recital, it seems that the power is still in his hands, and the Ming Dynasty is still up to him. In this case, how easy is it to overthrow him? The Ming Dynasty is not without capable people, and my stepfather alone is enough for him Zhu Chenhao to drink a pot. ”

"Sixth brother, who is your father-in-law?"

"Oh, my father-in-law is the official department Shangshu, Yang Tinghe, a scholar of Wuyingdian University. ”

"I see, Yang Gong is indeed a minister of the society, I heard that Li Xiang once said, 'I am in Wenhan, quite a day, if the economy matters, you must return to the husband'. So what if King Ning doesn't rebel this time?"

"It's his advantage not to rebel this time. In fact, I found that he is not a good person, at least Corporal Lixian is much better than Zhu Houzhao, but if he says the truth to me that day, maybe I will count him down, and maybe I will serve him...... Hey, it's all in the past. Big brother, since I have something to say here, I have to ask you, why did I order Bai Junyu to inquire about King Ning, and the answer he gave me was open-minded like Henkel, Shenwu and Wei Zu, although he was young, he was really a genius in the world?"

"This ...... Bai Junyu dared to ......"

"Big brother, after I arrived in Quanzhou, Bai Junyu treated me very interestingly, I don't believe that he deliberately deceived me. King Ning is in Jiangxi, and the person in charge of our Leng Longling in Jiangxi is Shi Song, and the news is wrong, so it is also a mistake that he transmitted, so I want to ask him...... How dare you lie to me?"

Now Yang Mu has no way to hide it, "Sixth brother, don't blame Shi Song, everything he did under the pseudonym Hu Yan'er was arranged by me, if you want to blame it, blame my brother and me." Thousands of mistakes are the fault of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is willing to be the ...... of the mountain."

Lu Chuan was happy, "Big brother, what are you talking about? The mountain rules are all set by you and my second brother, how can you use the mountain rules you set yourself to punish yourself? Not only the mountain rules are yours, Leng Longling is yours, the brothers are also yours, and you will not be wrong if anyone is wrong, and you can't be wrong." I know that Leng Longling has a lot of expenses, and it is not easy to feed tens of thousands of brothers, it is not a big deal to make an exception to make some money, and the money of those swordsmen is also put away, it is better to let us use it to defend the country. What my brother asked was just how Shi Song dared to pass on false news, this was not what you ordered, big brother, right?"

"I really don't know. ”

"I guess so. Someone!"

As soon as the order was given, Leng Longling's brother ran in.

"The Lord of the Six Villages. ”

"Pass my order, let Shi Song, the person in charge of Jiangxi, return to the mountain to report on his work, and the order will be carried out immediately, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Yes!"

"Wait, sixth brother, what are you going to do?"

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, "If you don't do anything, you just borrow his head." ”

"Sixth brother, for my brother's sake, spare him once. Eldest brother...... Please. As he spoke, he was about to kneel down for Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan reached out and grabbed Yang Mu's wrist and smiled, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?

"Sixth brother, Shi Song is the one who followed his brother to create Lenglongling, how many years of conscientious work, there is no merit and hard work, no matter how you punish him, is it okay to leave him alive?"

Lu Chuan sneered, "Big brother, don't say it, I have to kill Shi Song......

Without waiting for Lu Chuan to finish speaking, Ding Yu jumped up from the chair, snapped, and gave Lu Chuan two mouths with a flick of his hand. Ding Erxia is real fire, these two slaps are really not light, just two blows, Lu Chuan's face was swollen at that time, his nose was bloody, and tears were dripping in his eyes, so he almost couldn't bear it.

"Sixth, are you crazy? Killing people is not enough, not to mention that we are brothers, the eldest brother has begged you like this, and your face is enough to show in front of the two old swordsmen, what else do you want? As for a Shi Song? Do you want the second brother to beg you too? Okay, the eldest brother didn't kneel, the second brother knelt down for you!"

If you want to say Ding Erxia, you don't suffer at any time, don't look at the fierceness, how the second brother knelt down for you, his clothes were not lifted, his legs were not bent, and he stood up straight.

But Lu Chuan really knelt down, and Lu Chuan was stupid. How proud he is, he couldn't win the sword competition at the beginning, and the person who went down to Wudang Mountain overnight has never let people fight like this in his life. I didn't expect my second brother to beat me.

But some people are not happy about such a fuss. The two old men of the two saints of Shushan stood up at that time, not only stood up, but also raised their eyebrows, and the second master Shao even pulled out the sword with a sigh.

What kind of thing are you Ding Yu in the eyes of the two old men? Lu Chuan is the meat of his heart, he is afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of freezing in the palm of his hand.

Uncle Shao Mingliang sneered, "What kind of hero am I in Leng Longling, and my feelings will beat my brothers? Okay, good, the surname Shao has lived for eighty or ninety years, and today can be regarded as an eye-opener! Son, get up, what is he doing when he kneels? It's also a loss to you for coming all the way to have a reunion dinner with them, it's not worth it! Go, grandpa will take you home, and our grandfather doesn't have to suffer this kind ......of insult even if he drinks the northwest wind and eats snow ballast."

The old man said as he pulled up Lu Chuan and walked outside.

No one expected this, and no one expected that the elder brother would have such a big reaction when he taught his brother to beat the two old men twice. At this point, Ding Erxia also panicked, this is going to spread out, saying that he Ding Yu, saying that they are Leng Longling, the front foot invited people in as distinguished guests, and the back foot ran away again, who is he Ding Yu alive? How can Leng Longling still gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes? Besides, when he fights, he is impulsive, and when he is finished, he calms down, and when he looks like Lu Chuan, the second master also feels pain in his heart, how can he say that it is his own brother, a head is knocked on the ground, not a mother-raised, how much worse? Thinking of this, the second master can't wait to give himself a mouthful. But at this point, the raw rice has been made into cooked rice, and it is useless to regret it.

Just when the matter was incomprehensible, Lu Chuan spoke, "Grandpa, second grandfather, don't be angry, come, sit down and dissipate your anger." It is natural for an elder brother to beat a brother, and if a brother is disobedient, he should be beaten when he is a brother. You see, I'm not doing well, my second brother feels sorry for me, and he didn't hit me hard. Second brother, don't be angry, my brother is not sensible, he had a brain fever just now, and he said a few nonsense, which made the second brother angry. Big brother ......" Lu Chuan said, coldly snatching the sword from Shao Erye's hand, and put his backhand on his neck, "Big brother, our brothers have never been red-eyed, they won't before, and they won't ...... in the future."

Yang Mudu was frightened, "Sixth brother, what are you doing, you put down your sword quickly! Big brother promises you everything, everything promises you......"

Lu Chuan used two more points of force in his hand, and he saw blood on his neck.

But at this point, the second elder calmed down, looked at Yang Mu, Ding Yu, and Qu Shili coldly, and didn't say a word. They didn't say anything, just waiting for Lu Chuan to wipe his neck, and when Lu Chuan wiped his neck over there, they would immediately kill Yang Mu and the others! They knew Lu Chuan's temper, just like his grandfather Lu You, who was killed without humiliation, and received such two slaps, even if he didn't wipe his neck here, he would also die outside. I can't be persuaded.

I heard Lu Chuan say: "Big brother, you listen to your brother first." Killing Shi Song is not that I want to kill him, but that he must die. If he doesn't die, Leng Longling will have to die. He opened casinos, poisoned the people, and deceived the swordsman, for whatever reason, it was not authentic. Moreover, he said to the outside world that all this silver was to be used to relieve the poor people, but in the end, the money saved the old village owner and went to Liu Jin and those corrupt officials. Once this matter spreads, or if someone with a heart discovers that Leng Longling can't explain it at all, so before the incident, he can only use Shi Song's head to block the mouths of people all over the world...... That's all the brother wants to say, whether to kill or not, it's up to you, big brother. Lu Chuan...... Retirement. ”

After speaking, he took out the order of Leng Longling from his arms, put it on the ground, and turned to leave.

The two saints of Shushan also followed.

After a long time, Yang Mu, Ding Yu, Qu Shili, and the herald brother who came in to receive the order and knelt on the ground and still hasn't gotten up, none of them moved, didn't dare to make a sound, and didn't dare to chase after them.

In the end, Ding Yu woke up first, his face was burning, he picked up a cup of tea from the table and handed it to Yang Mu, "Big brother......"

With a snap, Yang Mu threw the tea bowl out with his backhand, sat on the chair and complained, "You...... What are you doing beating him?"

Qu Shili was also unhappy, "Second brother, it's not that you don't know the temper of the sixth brother, let alone a few words with the eldest brother, even if it is too much, then you can't fight." You see, when the sixth brother first went up the mountain, in front of so many brothers, should I not be allowed to pay it back? If we were like you, would our brothers have a sixth brother?"

The second master smiled bitterly, and when his brothers and brothers finished complaining, he said: "Yes, I am a mouse drilling bellows, angry at both ends, Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, and he is not a person inside and out." But I should have beaten me or not, what can I do now? I think, in a few days, the old six will be angry and will come back by himself, and when the time comes, I'll give him a compensation, won't the matter be over, what a big idea? Look at the ...... who makes you anxious and angry."

Yang Mu's eyebrows rose at that time, "Second brother, are you the first day you know the sixth child?

"What if he doesn't come back by himself?"

Qu Shi was angry, "Second brother, don't you think of yourself as Zhuge Liang on weekdays? Why are you confused today? Didn't you see the sixth brother throw down the big order? Didn't you hear what the sixth brother said at the end?"

Ding Yu said: "I'll be joking with him." ”

Qu Shili saw that Ding Yu began to talk nonsense, so he ignored him, "Big brother, what do you say now?"

Yang Mu sighed and said, "Now that the matter is over, our brothers are speechless, so we have to invite someone who can speak." It seems that I have to take out the birthday gift for the sixth brother......"

How they prepared to remedy it didn't mention, but said Lu Chuan, when they got out of the sword gate, tears fell.

It's really uncomfortable in my heart, like being in a cold cellar in a cold pool. came in a hurry, didn't eat a mouthful of hot food, and took a bite to the mouth, and no one could stand it. If it weren't for the fear that the second elder would be sad, he would have wiped his neck a long time ago, what is the point of living? My grandfather and uncle are dead, the person my sister likes is an enemy, and there is no family at home, and the person I like can't get it, and my own body is not good, and the last thought is brother, well, brother is a brother, a head is on the ground, and he treats someone as a brother, what do people treat him for? Feelings are not as good as a Shi Song. Hehe, people will live to the end of this, and the rest is sin!

I really can't figure out what it means for those kings since ancient times to live alone in the end? Women, power, gold and silver treasures? No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not a wife, and no matter how high her power is, the day she dies, the gold and silver treasures will not be brought with her in that life. In addition to leaving one or two strokes in the history books in this life, everything else is nothing more than a mirror and a puddle of bubbles.

Otherwise, people can't think narrowly, otherwise the more they think about it, the narrower it becomes, and they will fall into a dead button.

The more Lu Chuan thought about it, the more sad he became, the more sad he became, walking on the mountain road of Jianmen Mountain, looking down, the snow was flying all over the sky, and he couldn't even see the bottom. I really have the heart to jump like this, it's a hundred, but when I think about it again, I can't afford to die. If you die now, won't you become an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous person?

The unfaithful, even the forgetting of the memory is an infidelity to the dead. The great revenge is just around the corner, if you don't take revenge, how can you have the face to see your uncle under Jiuquan?

For those who are not filial, their parents are still alive, and the grace of nurturing is not repaid. After many years, when the parents are getting old, who will take care of them?

The unkind, Yao Wang is young, he wants to be easy and throw the burden to the child, how can he be at ease?

The unrighteous see that the martial arts are being played with by the Ten Uniques, and the people of the world are stupid and ignorant, and they will be ashamed of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes if they don't save them when they see death.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan glanced at the second elder, and his heart warmed up a little, "Grandpa, do you know how to make Yangchun noodles?"

Shao Mingliang was stunned, but he immediately became happy, since he wanted to eat, he didn't want to die, what else did he say?

"Yes, how can Yangchun noodles not be? Go back and grandpa will make it for you. ”

"I want to eat Yangchun noodles with oil, salt, peppercorns, and eggs. ”

The old man was happy, "You can eat whatever you want, grandpa has patronized it in his life, and he has all the materials at home." ”

"Second grandfather, it's not interesting to just eat noodles, I still have to eat fish. ”

"Okay, I'm going to catch some fresh fish. The old man turned and went down the hill as he spoke.

"No, I don't like to eat fresh fish, it's a little fishy, and the meat is too tender to chew. ”

"What about the fish in the house?"

"Well, this year is the end of tonight, and next year will be tomorrow. The cold goes with the night, and the spring comes with the fifth watch. His complexion changed in the air, and his face returned secretly. The scenery is unconscious, and it has been painted with plum in the back garden. New Year!"

Yes, today is twenty-nine, and tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve, it will be the New Year.

Thousands of miles away in the Huixian Wetland, Lu Luo sat on the steps and watched the sunset, and coincidentally read out this poem.

Dao Jue stood behind her, "Luo'er, it's time to eat." ”

"Grandpa Dao, you asked me to wait a little longer. ”

"Today is twenty-nine, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't he coming on Chinese New Year's Eve?"

"No, twenty-nine is Chinese New Year's Eve, and sometimes there is no Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"Silly girl, if he doesn't come, you won't eat?"

Lu Luo nodded stubbornly.

"That'...... What if he delays something?"

"He ......" Lu Luo's body trembled, and his voice trembled, "he won't." ”

In the afterglow, the girl turned around, but she was already in tears.

Dao Jue swallowed his saliva with difficulty, even if his heart had been as hard as pig iron for so many years, but at this moment, there was some pain, "Heaven is really unfair to the Lu family, can't showing your face and being smooth coexist? Or is it because of the unhappiness that the Lu family is extraordinary?"

"Grandpa Dao, look!" Lu Luo stood up excitedly.

Dao Jue looked in the direction she pointed, and saw two figures walking along the mountain road.

The leader is dressed in fluttering clothes, as if he has the demeanor of a fairy, holding a sword in his hand and a sword box on his back.

The entourage was also neatly packed, carrying several packages large and small in both hands.

Lu Luo couldn't bear it any longer, and ran towards the figure that he had been thinking about day and night, and the two figures finally turned into one figure.

When he got closer, Chen Danyun knelt down and saluted the knife, "The old man has always been good? Danyun kowtowed to the old man." ”

Dao Jue sneered slightly, "Isn't this a torture for the old age?"

Chen Danyun's face was red, he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't dare to get up.

Lu Luoke was a little distressed, glared at Dao Jue, and said angrily: "Grandpa Dao, why are you making such a joke." Brother, ignore him, let's eat. ”

Chen Danyun still didn't dare to get up.

Dao Jue smiled and asked, "How does it feel to carry Lu Chuan's sword on his back?"

"Weighing a thousand catties, Danyun is terrified all night, and there is no place to live on himself. ”

"That's good, you have to carry this sword all the time, to suppress evil spirits. Okay, get up, if you don't get up again, Luo'er will hate me. ”
