Today it is divided into two, with the Moisan River as the dividing line, which stretches for thousands of kilometers.

To the south of the Moisan River was the Great Liang Dynasty, and to the north of the Moisan River was another dynasty called the Luohua Dynasty.

Between the two dynasties, there are countless small countries, and each country has been at war for many years, but with the rise of batch after batch of cultivators, the dynasty's control of the rivers and lakes is getting weaker and weaker.

Therefore, in the third year of Weide of the Great Liang Dynasty, that is, in the third year of the reign of Emperor Taishang of the Great Liang, a special Zhenfu Division was established for demons, demons and cultivators, and the Zhenfu Division was led by black horses.

The main task of the black rider is to deal with those disobedient cultivators, as well as the demons and monsters that infest the people.

Yunhe Town is a small town located in Dengzhou of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Yunhe Town happens to be on the main road of economic exchanges between the north and south of the Great Liang Dynasty, so although the town is small, the prosperity is not inferior to the capital, and it is known as the small imperial capital.

Changlong Buzhuang in Yunhe Town is a well-known commercial house.

At this time, at the door of the cloth village, a young man was holding a broom with almost only a bamboo handle, sweeping the half-yellow fallen leaves.

The boy looked about fifteen, sixteen, or seven years old, and his body was well-proportioned from behind, but when viewed from the side, he looked thin.

This will sweep the floor, the young man's forehead has a lot of sweat, fortunately, it is already October, if he goes forward for two months, he is afraid that he will be able to pass by heat stroke.

Perhaps tired of sweeping, the young man leaned the broom with almost only a bamboo handle to the door, sat on the doorstep with his buttocks, and began to be in a daze with his head propped up.

I saw that after he pressed down his thumb, index finger, and middle finger one after another, he put his middle finger and index finger up, and only pressed down one thumb.

"Alas, this month, it seems, there are only ten coppers saved. Zhang Xiaoluo sighed heavily.

Zhang Xiaoluo was born in poverty and came out of Minfu Village, 80 miles outside Yunhe Town.

He didn't know who his parents were, and he lived with his grandparents for as long as he could remember.

Grandfather Zhang Dahe, a farmer, and grandmother Li Huanghua, relied on the skill of weaving cloth to subsidize the family.

Although they lived a poor life, the old couple treated Zhang Xiaoluo very well, and even did not hesitate to spend all their coffin books for Zhang Xiaoluo to study and read in a private school.

Zhang Dahe is a veteran who retired from Weide in the thirteenth year, and he often nagged in Zhang Xiaoluo's ear, if he was literate back then, he should have been mixed with an official and a half-position in the court today.

Therefore, Zhang Dahe knows the importance of reading and literacy, and children from poor families may have the only way to study and gain fame if they want to turn over.

However, life is often full of accidents, and when Zhang Xiaoluo was thirteen years old, the old teacher in Minfu Village passed away suddenly.

If you want to continue your studies, you have to go to another village sixty miles away, and the tuition will be twice as expensive.

The old couple's hair turned a lot whiter overnight.

Zhang Xiaoluo looked distressed, and one night, he left a letter that Zhang Dahe could understand and ran away from home.

After reading the letter, Zhang Dahe, who has been a soldier all his life, was silent for a long time and did not choose to chase Zhang Xiaoluo.

When the four kings with different surnames and the five generals of the dynasty, which one did not start from recklessness?

Young man, let him go by himself, but remember to go home when he is tired.

"If this continues, when will I be able to buy a big house and take over my grandparents?"

Zhang Xiaoluo's current wish is to buy a property in Yunhe Town, and then take his grandparents over to enjoy the blessings.

When he first came to Yunhe Town, it was as if the door to a new world had been opened, and the pavilions and pavilions in the books that the old teacher had told him about them really existed.

Zhang Xiaoluo immediately swore that he would take his grandparents to settle here in the future.

However, a thirteen-year-old doll really has no ability to make money.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoluo is a likable little guy, and the people of Yunhe Town like him and treat him very well, so although he can't make a lot of money, his life is happy.

But he still hopes to make a lot of money and take his grandparents over.

Last month, he went to the county government office and inquired with a relatively good old brother who caught the fast, only to learn that the cheapest house with a yard in Yunhe Town actually costs 100 taels of silver, and those without a yard also need 80 taels of silver.

Good fellow, according to the ratio of silver and copper, he doesn't even have a silver tael now!

This is a lot of dozens of taels of silver, and he has to save it until the Year of the Monkey?

"Xiao Luo, go buy some wine and food and come back, I will see important guests in a while. ”

He Bi, the shopkeeper of Chimelong Buzhuang, walked out, and then threw Zhang Xiaoluo a money bag.

"Good!"

Zhang Xiaoluo immediately got up, took the money bag, and walked towards the restaurant.

There are only two or three restaurants in the town that can give people a thumbs up, and Yunhe Restaurant is the best one among them.

Just looking at this name, as long as you have a little brain, you can think that behind this Yunhe Restaurant, there are people from the official family.

So can it be bad?

However, when Zhang Xiaoluo walked into Yunhe Restaurant, he found that the atmosphere was a little weird.

Today's business seems to be very deserted, with only two tables of customers, one of which is an old man and a young girl.

At the other table, there were eight young men in silver armor and black cloaks, each with a war knife at their waists.

"Uncle Run, get some wine and food as usual, and I'll take them away. Zhang Xiaoluo beckoned to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the relationship between the two was very familiar.

Uncle Yan hurriedly stepped on small steps and walked up, and whispered in Zhang Xiaoluo's ear: "It was not open to the public today. ”

Uncle Yan said, glancing cautiously at the two tables of guests.

"But if it's you, I'll get you some food and drink, but you sit here, don't make a noise!"

Uncle Yan seemed to be a little jealous of the two table guests.

"Oh. Zhang Xiaoluo understood the severity and nodded in understanding.

"Anyway, I don't know what happened to Sun Ruoyi, who was demoted to here, a literati, what is wrong to write, but he just writes something explicit, and he really thinks he is a literary saint?"

Uncle Yan turned around and went back to the back kitchen to tell the cook to cook, and Zhang Xiaoluo heard the conversation of the eight young people.

There was a click, and the sound of chopsticks slapping on the table sounded.

Zhang Xiaoluo followed the prestige, only to see the girl standing up, one hand propped up on the table, and under the hand were pressed chopsticks.

"Yes, a literati, what is not good to write, but to write something explicit, isn't this revealing the skin of the powerful people in the court? Without this skin, how can they mix in front of the people of the world?"

"It's not good to learn from Li Yu'an? wrote a poem "Xiang Yin", which was 'appreciated' by Liu Xiang from then on, and immediately became a hot rookie in the DPRK from a third-rate little poet in the countryside who no one cared about. ”

"If you can't learn this shameless and skinless, you can also learn from the Jiupin inspection Wang Lufeng, from Maozhou, which is 3,000 miles away from Kyoto, to rush to Kyoto, hit the towering walls of the palace with his head, and scolded the first military attache of the dynasty Wei Zhen, scolded a few words of 'poor soldiers' and 'murderous and aggressive', and he can also be promoted to a first-grade, one-and-a-half-grade. ”

"If you are lucky enough, you may be able to change from a local official to a Beijing official, which is more exciting than raising the grade, how can the oil and water of the local officials have the foot of the Beijing officials?

"Also, if you don't have the courage to fight to the death with a horse for 3,000 miles, you can still ......"

"That's enough, don't say it again!" the old man beside the girl frowned slightly, and raised his hand to interrupt the girl's words that she wanted to continue.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, you won't say it!"

"Anyway, this court is just like this dish, it's all bad to the heart! Why is it rare for the people?"

The girl snorted coldly, picked out a blackened cabbage sum in the dish with chopsticks, and threw it on the table.

"You seem to have a lot of resentment against the court?"

The eight young people at the other table all turned their eyes to the girl.

One of the young men had a jade pendant on his waist, in addition to a long knife, and everyone seemed to be headed by him.

"It's your business!" the girl turned her head and stared at the eight young men with a cold gaze.

"It's not a small temper!"

One of the young men walked over with a flirtatious face, revealing a token on his other waist.

It was a black token, made of something like dark iron, with a "yellow" on it, and a skim on the bottom left of the "yellow" word.

"Do you think that you are a black rider with yellow characters, and you are just a black rider who is being assessed, which is very good?" the girl pouted disdainfully.

Zhenfu Si black horse, divided into four grades of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", the yellow level is the lowest grade, and the token with a skimming is not an official black horse, it is a black horse that is being assessed.

The young man who walked over looked at their head with a blank face.

The leading young man also frowned slightly, this girl seems to have some origin?

"Come back. The leading young man said.

They came to practice, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

But just because he doesn't want to cause trouble doesn't mean that other people don't want to cause trouble either.

The number two man in the group, a young man with a hooked nose and a pair of small eyes, stood up from his seat, smiled sadly, and walked towards the girl.

"Everybody's just having a quick meal. The old man beside the girl frowned slightly, implying that he didn't want to have anything to do with them.

"Young Master Ben was disturbed Yaxing, I can't eat this meal, but I want to beat people. The hook-nosed young man said unscrupulously.

"Don't destroy your future. The old man's face sank.

"Self-destructing future, do you know that my father is from General Sanpin Xuanwei?" the hook-nosed young man laughed.

"Li Qiancheng, come back!" the young man in the lead snorted.

Li Qiancheng looked back at their team leader this time, and he didn't care at all.

"Cao Zhengqing, your father and my father are at the same level, you are just a year older than me, and you have become the captain of the team, do you really think you are a character?" Li Qiancheng pouted disdainfully.

"It turned out to be the son of the old man Li Sanmao. The girl laughed.

"You dare to call my father by his first name?" Li Qiancheng glared angrily.

Cao Zhengqing heard the girl's words, but his heart sank, the old and the young, the origin is definitely not simple!

"I've been holding it back for a few days, so let's vent it out today! If you don't accept it afterwards, I can take you as a concubine!" Li Qiancheng licked his lips again, and stared greedily at the budding girl.

"Bastard thing!" the old man was really angry this time, took out a token from his bosom, and slapped it on the table.

This token is also pure black, and the one on Li Qiancheng's waist seems to have the same origin, but the one on it is the word "day", and on the upper left of the word "day", there is a "one".

Li Qiancheng saw the token clearly and couldn't help but swallow.

Cao Zhengqing also secretly said that it was not good, he had long heard that Tianzi No. 1 in the black horse would occasionally come to inspect the assessment tasks of the newcomers, but he didn't expect to be met by them!

The atmosphere instantly became awkward, the air became dead silent, and no one dared to speak for a while.

Click.

The sound of swallowing melon seeds broke the silent atmosphere, and everyone turned their heads together, and their eyes fell on Zhang Xiaoluo.

Zhang Xiaoluo's action of swallowing melon seeds suddenly froze, his eyes glanced back and forth on the two groups, and asked weakly, "Am I arguing with you?"
