"Money shopkeeper, the little brother has a bold suggestion, I don't know if the brother is willing to listen to it?" Xi Zhen fell a son, but it was difficult to recover the decline in chess.

Qian Shangren said in the middle: "The virtuous brother has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak, if there is a need, Qian will not hesitate to give everything he has." ”

"Now, the Hidden Misty Villa and the Kirin Society are really married, and from now on, the Hidden Misty Villa will fall into the endless harassment of the Kirin Society. The money shopkeeper is strong in martial arts, so he is naturally fearless, but how innocent are the people in this village?" Xi Zhen thought about it, and still said what he wanted to say.

Qian Shangren hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a secret, someone from the Qilin Club has approached me and my brother, and also mentioned cooperation." They hope to use the financial resources of the Hidden Fog Villa to recruit heroes in the rivers and lakes to influence their status in the rivers and lakes. But we don't know exactly what they want to do, and it's precisely because they don't know that the two brothers never agreed. ”

"Therefore, when they get rid of Brother Ling, it can be regarded as a reminder for you, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?" asked Xi Zhen.

Qian Shangren nodded and said: "There should be such an ingredient, however, although I am a businessman, I have always adhered to the fairness of trading and never did that treacherous thing." I will accept this family business if I can keep it, and I will keep it if I can't keep it. ”

Xi Zhen got up, looked at Lushan through the window. See the majesty of Lushan, thousands of ravines and the roaring waterfalls. Xi Zhen sighed slightly: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have disregarded the means. Qin Shi Huang drove millions of people to build the Great Wall to defend against Rong and Di in order to protect the Qin Emperor's success, and the latter Sui Yang Emperor recruited people widely, opened mountains and dug canals, and opened thousands of miles of canals; and the northern expedition to Goguryeo also recruited millions of people. Those in power will not care about the suffering of the people, but will only demand a few flesh and blood from the people. The Qilin Club has huge ambitions, and I am afraid that the master behind it also wants to have the feeling of recruiting people, opening roads and building bridges in the mountains and rivers. Through a light sigh, Xi Zhen said again: "Brother Qian, I don't want to praise anyone, but if Brother Qian sticks to himself and is not moved by others, the world may be free from disasters." The people may also be exempt from the same room, and in this way, Brother Qian's merits are immeasurable. ”

Qian Shangren hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "I didn't expect that the virtuous brother still has the ambition to be compassionate to the world, the foolish brother is embarrassed, and he is ashamed." ”

"Fan Wenzhenggong once had a cloud: the worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world, although you and I are in the rivers and lakes, but what you and I see is the public Li Shu. The family teacher once taught the next, the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people. At first, I didn't think about it, but now, seeing what the Kirin Club is doing, I also feel a great responsibility on my shoulders. Xi Zhen took a sip of tea and let the bitter tea linger between his teeth.

Qian Shangren was silent, and Xi Zhen said again: "I have a way to let Brother Qian escape the troubles of this kind of dispute, and not be affected, I wonder if Brother Qian is willing to listen?"

Qian Shangren didn't speak, just nodded in agreement.

Xi Zhen said: "Although the eldest husband is not afraid of strong enemies, he is also unbearable. Why doesn't Brother Qian avoid it and move elsewhere?"

Qian Shangren laughed and said: "I understand the kindness of my brother, I am reluctant to do this, but no matter where I move, there is my Qian family's business and money village in the whole country, and anyone can find me according to the map." In this way, the tone is moving, and it is better to stay here. What's more......" Qian Shangren wanted to stop talking at this time.

Xi Zhen was surprised, and it was inconvenient to ask again. Qian Shangren wanted to speak and stopped, spitting and spitting. After a while, he took Xi Zhen's hand and walked towards the inner hall. Go to the inner hall, and then pass the bedroom from the wing room, in the corner of the bedroom, there is an incense case, and the incense case is enshrined with the same Danshu iron coupon as the hall.

Xi Zhen was even more surprised, and Qian Shangren said: "The Danshu iron coupon in the front hall is fake, and this one is the real Danshu iron coupon." Qian Shangren pulled out a secret grid under the incense case, and there was a button in the dark grid. Qian Shangren pressed the button and opened an iron door behind the incense case, and a secret passage appeared at the opening of the iron door.

Qian Shangren ignored the stunned Xi Zhen, and said on the defensive: "Brother Xian, please come with me." Then he was the first to enter through the secret passage. Xi Zhen hesitated slightly, and then followed, and the secret passage was slowly closed.

It was pitch black in the secret passage, Xi Zhen didn't know why, he was on guard, and his true qi was all over his body. After Qian Shangren took out the fire fold and lit the lamp on the wall of the secret passage, the secret passage gradually became clear in the light. The passage is so narrow that only one person can walk. Qian Shangren walked forward with the lamp, Xi Zhen followed closely behind, but the true qi was always all over the body, and the air flow driven by the true qi also blew the lights swaying and flickering.

Qian Shangren smiled back and said lightly: "Brother Xian doesn't have to be so nervous, please relax, it's absolutely safe here, and Qian won't harm you here, you can rest assured." ”

Xi Zhen smiled awkwardly, took away all his strength, and just silently followed Qian Shangren. Half a light of time passed, and Xi Zhen began to slowly get used to the light in the secret passage, so he began to explore the secret passage. This secret passage is built in the rock, and the traces of a knife and a chisel are still there, but because the sun does not shine all year round, it feels damp and cold, and there is no difference from this. Xi Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Hidden Mist Mountain Villa is really wealthy, and it is really a miracle to be able to carve this secret passage in this valley." I just don't know why he took me to this secret passage, and what is the end of this secret passage?"

After walking for about an hour, the passage began to widen, and gradually the two of them could walk side by side. After walking for another half a day, the secret passage suddenly opened, and in a blink of an eye, a very large stone chamber was reached. The stone chamber is about the size of the hall of the Hidden Fog Villa, up to two zhang, on the edge of the stone chamber, there are more than ten iron tripods each, and the things that ignite the fire such as relaxing oil are thrown in the ding. Qian Shangren lit the big tripods one by one, and the entire stone room was like daylight, with an unobstructed view.

In front of the stone room, there is a carved stone dragon, with teeth and claws. The stone dragon holds a water bead in its mouth, and there is a bubbling spring flowing through the dragon's mouth, and then through the water bead, the water flowing out flows into the stone trough on the ground. The stone trough circumferentially circles the stone chamber and eventually flows into an unknown depth. What's even more strange is that this trickle of clear streams, but does not make a little sound, even makes Xi Zhen feel strange.

In the center of the stone chamber, there is an armillary sphere, which is made of fine copper. The eight dragons cast in fine bronze have different expressions, all with their heads facing down, and a bead in their mouths. Underneath the dragon, there are rows of stone troughs. And the placement of the stone trough is actually a change from the Taoist gossip map.

On the stone walls on all four sides of the stone chamber, there are different images carved on the stone, which is lifelike. Xi Zhen gradually understood the direction he was standing in from the gossip diagram, so he looked at the pattern on the stone wall in order.

The east side depicts what appears to be a naval battle: hundreds of warships, flags obscuring the sky and sun, and guns roaring from both sides. On the Chinese warship, a man in a dragon robe sits, majestic, looking at the battlefield ahead with his sword. On the left and right sides of the man, there were two rows of civil and military soldiers, all of whom followed the man's gaze to the battlefield with the roar of artillery fire. The men's enemies seemed to be much weaker, they did not have a ship, and even two ships were not as large as the men's one. However, the opponent's warship is unusually flexible, shuttling between the warships with ease. The Chinese army of the battleship also stood a murderous general wearing a crown, and a Confucian student stood on the left and right of the general. The Confucian on the left has a blazing gaze, holding a book in his hand, and is gesturing. The Confucian on the right is dressed in full real clothes, shaking a paper fan in his hand, pointing to the battlefield, and whispering something to the crown general.

Walking along the east stone wall, there is a different scene on the north stone wall, which seems to be a continuation of the east stone wall: I saw that the warships were constantly bombarded by small boats, and countless battleships poured and sank. Countless soldiers on the battleship fell into the water, each in horror, while the soldiers on the small boat drew their bows and shot into the water, and those who fell into the water were either shot to death or drowned. The Chinese warships were also on fire everywhere, and the dragon-robed warlord was pulling out the sword in his hand and wiping it off his neck. The civil and military officers in two shifts fell to the ground one after another, and the two guards around them were trying to snatch the sword of the dragon-robed warrior. And the general wearing the crown was overjoyed, and the flag in his hand kept waving. The boat was also interspersed in an orderly manner under the command of Ling Qi, and the two Confucian students beside him were also overjoyed, and the Confucian students who were dressed in real clothes even sat on the ground, stroking their palms and laughing.

The stone walls in the east and north depict a vigorous naval battle, Xi Zhen stands on the edge of the stone wall, looking at the picture, he can feel the fierceness of the battlefield. It was as if you could hear the loud drums, the earth-shattering roars of the soldiers, and the screams of fear and despair in the water. Looking at these two murals, Xi Zhen couldn't help but churn with blood, as if he was in the middle of the battlefield, and he couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield with a sword in his hand. But after rushing to the battlefield, who should he kill? Xi Zhen was silent for a long time, unable to find an answer.

On the west side of the stone wall, there was a different scene: outside the ruined city walls, there was a desolation and depression, and the bones of animals and people lay on the ground by the roadside, glowing with a cold white light. Under the city wall, a simple shed was erected, and the words "Yangzhou Mansion" were written in the center of the shed. In the middle of the shed, stood a handsome Confucian scholar, who wore a prefect's hat but ordinary peasant clothes. The Confucian scholar bent his left hand, holding a book, and the wolf in his right hand did not stop waving. In front of the shed, a group of ragged people and a group of people dressed in official mansions were mixing together, hoeing the ground, pulling pears, cutting grass, cutting grass, men, women, old and young. Although everyone is very hard and difficult, they seem to be working towards the goal in their hearts.
