Chapter 45: Back to Yangzhou!
Wei Xiaobao and others left Fujian, and did not return to Yangzhou, his visit to Xian this time, has not ended, after Fujian found Li Guangdi, there is a harvest, Wei Xiaobao can be said to have a great increase in confidence, the next stop decided to go to Jingzhou, Hubei, if he remembers correctly, "Kangxi Dynasty", once mentioned that Zhou Peigong's hometown is Jingzhou, Hubei, he wants to try his luck.
Along the way, when riding a horse, Wei Xiaobao still often closed his eyes and 'meditated', which made Su Quan and the other women strange, I don't know what the hell Wei Xiaobao is doing, but they don't dare to disturb!
I don't know why, since the battle in the imperial city of the Dahan Kingdom in Yunnan, except for Su Quan, other Fang Yi, Jianning and other women feel that Wei Xiaobao is a little strange, although when facing himself, he still likes to flamboyate and talk sweetly, but he always feels that Wei Xiaobao is hiding something in his heart now, and this matter is very big and very important. Princess Jianning, the little princess, the two sons and three daughters, are simple-minded, although they are strange, they can't think of so much, but Fang Yi and Su Quan are very concerned about this, Fang Yi wants to know what Wei Xiaobao is thinking? Su Quan was there, but he was secretly observing, and for a while he was more sure of Wei Xiaobao's thoughts.
After more than half a month of hurrying, everyone was dusty, and finally arrived in Jingzhou, Hubei, the people here, life is not very good, because Jingzhou has been in drought for two consecutive years, many people's homes, are poor and can't open the pot, although the Qing court also has to distribute food to help the victims, but most of them have been deducted by officials at all levels, replaced by silver tickets in their hands, can really be put in the place, eat the people's stomachs, but there are very few, of course, this is the previous situation.
In the recent period, because Wei Xiaobao once ordered the Providence Firm, the rudder of various places to help the victims, so the Central Plains, the people in many places, have been favored by Wei Xiaobao, this Hubei Jingzhou is no exception, Wei Xiaobao and others came to Jingzhou, but saw that all the shops under the Providence Firm, are well received by the people, every day there are victims, in the soup kitchen set up by the Providence Firm, receive gruel meals, for a time, grateful to Wei Xiaobao, innumerable.
Although these gratitudes have not reached the level of loyalty and deriving the golden thread of faith, it has also increased Wei Xiaobao's consciousness in the sea of ordinary threads of faith, a lot!
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, the lord has a long-term vision, and admires the land!" When he arrived in Jingzhou, he saw that hundreds of people came out of each family, and every household was grateful to Wei Xiaobao's situation, the women and Feng Xifan and others were surprised, but Li Guangdi was solemn, showing admiration, and solemnly bowed.
"Hehe, where, the light is overrated! The common people in the world are always the cutest group of people, if you are a little good to them, even if it is just a bowl of gruel, he will keep it firmly in his heart, and he may not be able to repay you, but he will pray in his heart for the rest of his life, and his benefactor will be safe for a lifetime!" Wei Xiaobao looked at the people who were extremely grateful to the victims after receiving the gruel everywhere, his face was heavy, he shook his head, and when he spoke, his tone was like a hint of emotion, and he lived in the Providence Firm.
"Childe, Zhou Peigong has been found!" Not long after, the helmsman of the Providence Commercial Bank reported.
"Oh, so fast? Okay, come with me to see it. Wei Xiaobao was surprised.
Li Guangdi's expression was solemn, he was very curious about Zhou Peigong, and immediately said, "Yes, lord!"
"Xiaobao, I'm going too, but I want to see this person?" "And me, I'll go!"
Just when Wei Xiaobao was about to leave, Su Quan and Fang Yi actually asked to go at the same time?
Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to agree, so it didn't take long for Wei Xiaobao and others to come to a residence in Jingzhou and meet Zhou Peigong, who was not only a scholar, but also had martial arts.
After some persuasion and invitation by Wei Xiaobao, Zhou Peigong thought that Wei Xiaobao was a lobbyist sent by the Heaven and Earth Society, and refused again and again. How do you know that later Wei Xiaobao revealed his identity, and Li Guangdi persuaded him, saying: "Zhou Peigong, my lord has the courage to dominate the world, and he is kind to the people of Limin, and now he is the king of the world, if my generation does not help, who else will come?"
"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the enemy country is broken, and the ministers are dead!" Zhou Peigong naturally has some insight and real talent, but he has actually been moved by Wei Xiaobao's words, but he still has some concerns in his heart, and after listening to Li Guangdi's words, he shook his head slightly and sighed.
When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he knew that the other party had basically agreed. Mencius once said: "If the prince treats me sincerely, I will repay him wholeheartedly!" Mencius once said: The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart, and the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and the ministers regard the king as a countryman, and the king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard the king as an enemy.
"If you treat me as a countryman, I will swear to repay me with death!" Zhou Peigong has seen the lord!" When Zhou Peigong heard this, his body was shocked, and he immediately got up and bowed, his expression was extremely solemn, and he kowtowed.
"Haha, Peigong doesn't have to be like this!" Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and hurriedly helped Zhou Peigong up.
So Zhou Peigong, like Li Guangdi, chose to join Wei Xiaobao's command, and then everyone left Jingzhou, Wei Xiaobao led everyone to Shaoxing, Zhejiang, trying to find Yao Qisheng, but helplessly, he didn't find it at all. had no choice but to order the helmsman of the local providence firm to pay more attention, and then Wei Xiaobao led everyone to leave Shaoxing.
"Xiaobao, where are we going this time?" Fang Yi and Wei Xiaobao rode together, curiously asked.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going back to Yangzhou!" Wei Xiaobao narrowed his eyes and replied in a deep voice.
Now that he is back in Yangzhou, there is no problem, not to mention that Wei Xiaobao's strength is much stronger than at the beginning, the physical body has broken through, the Tai Chi has broken through, and the spiritual power has also increased.
And Wei Xiaobao didn't believe that the injuries of Yuwenxiu, Wan Zhenghao and others would turn around so quickly, you must know that after a big battle, they were blown up by explosives once, Yuwenxiu and others could not die, they did not miss arms and legs, Wei Xiaobao already admired them very much.
And there must be some Tianjiao or core disciples like Chen Taiji who did not participate in the battle in Yangzhou, but since they did not dare to participate, first, because of caution, and secondly, even if the strength of this kind of person is strong, it is also limited. Therefore, after subduing Li Guangdi and Zhou Peigong, he was ready to go back to Yangzhou.
After all, Yangzhou City is his foundation, and when he left, he just wanted to temporarily turn from light to darkness and fade out of the sight of the world, so as to secretly accumulate strength, but now he is not afraid.
"After returning to Yangzhou City, we must start collecting a large number of metals, preparing for smelting, and taking the lead in creating a jade seal. On a spacious official road, Wei Xiaobao rode a horse, closed his eyes and meditated, and thought secretly
