It should be said that Shiyan City is a good place, there is no severe cold in winter, there is no scorching heat in summer, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is pleasant. With the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Shennongjia and Wudang Mountain, the holy land of Taoism, have become a beautiful scenery, attracting countless dignitaries to come to travel and observe. As the prefect of Shiyan, the income can be imagined. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. The income of the Shiyan prefect is far more than these, or the previous prefect left with a gloomy face like a dead mother, and the property alone was full of several carts, which shows that he has not scraped the people's fat and people's ointment.

Ou Lingtian is not a rich man, the "Huashan Black Dragon" family has a big business, and silver is needed there. The money given by the imperial court is not enough to go to Xiaoyao Tower to rub a meal. But it doesn't matter, in addition to his current identity is the prefect of Shiyan, he is also the overlord of the Central Plains martial arts, which is personally authorized by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and there are really a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who come to talk to him, and Ou Lingtian's residence has not been broken in the past few days, and the people in the rivers and lakes, the officials of Shiyan City and the rich businessmen with heads and faces have been in waves, and finally even the housekeeper Li Ji said to Ou Lingtian with a smile: "Master, it is said that the Qing prefect for ten years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, you are good, you have only been in office for a few days, and the gifts you have received have been more than ten or three years." ”

Ou Lingtian laughed: "Okay, good, it's a good thing to have a lot of money, and no one will worry about having a lot of money." Li and you say? ”

Everyone present laughed, and even Lin Feilan pointed to her husband and said, "Husband, it turns out that you are also a corrupt official." You must know that the emperor hates corrupt officials the most, although the punishment of the first emperor for skinning people is gone, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty are still very strict. ”

Ou Lingtian replied: "The laws of the Ming Dynasty are useless to me, Zhu Di will not let us go lightly, what awaits us will be the most cruel bloody storm." All we have to be prepared. Yixian, you go and inform all the leaders of Huashan to come to Shiyan to discuss important matters. In addition, the Huayin Cao Duomin Cao County Order was also invited, so as soon as possible. ”

Shen Yixian didn't ask much, he understood Ou Lingtian's thoughts, what should be prepared must be prepared, Shiyan is not Huashan after all. There are Ming troops all around, easy to attack and difficult to defend. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is a monarch who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands for rain, and the emperor doesn't need any reason to kill people.

Ou Lingtian's current place is the compound where the former Shiyan prefect lived, there are dozens of houses, there are water pavilion rockeries, gardens and lawns, Ou Lingtian wants to change his name, and the housekeeper Li Ji said: "Isn't it good to simply call it "Xianwu General's Mansion"?"

King Huashan said sourly: "Han Bing is now the emperor's personal 'Xianwu General', from the fourth rank, the level is higher than me. Lao Tzu has to salute when he sees her. It's a bit hard to get used to. ”

Lin Feilan laughed: "Husband, the blue is better than the blue." The ice is powerful and the martial arts is indispensable this time. Besides, you are the elder in the family, and she is your daughter, so you know what to do. I think it's called "General Xianwu's Mansion". No one dares to underestimate us. ”

Ou Lingtian nodded again and again, and he smirked embarrassedly.

This night, "General Xianwu's Mansion" was very lively.

The heroes of "Huashan Black Dragon" all gathered together, including housekeeper Li Ji, Ji Kang, "Tang Dao" Li Yun, and "Jianghu Prodigal Son" Xu Yi. The five tiger generals "Xiao Sheng" Shen Yixian, "Fork God" Black Tiger, "Blue Wolf" Pori Tichi, "Red Face Jiao" Jiang Qinghan, and "Iron Courage Spear" Lu Zhen. "Flying Fox" Liao Jie and Da Lintai, Da Ren Tai and Da Ri Tai three brothers. In addition to the "Glacier Saintess" Ou Hanbing, Ou Yibing and Ou Xibing, "Dance Saint" You Qianrou, "Chess Saint" Ji Qingrui, "Narcissus" Xue Nanyan, "Sword God" Shen Mengrui and Shen Sirui, as well as Zhang Anzhong, "Di Saint" Jiang Nanshuang, "Painting Saint" Qin Xiujie, "Lake Demon" Jin Feng, Wuyun Girl, Naren Tuoya, Ulan Tuya and Uni Ri and so on. They are as beautiful as flowers.

In addition, there is also Huayin Cao Duomin Cao County Order, and Princess Liqisi, the wife of "General Huwei" Chang Bowei, was also invited, in order to avoid suspicion, Chang Bowei did not come. Princess Liqisi and Ou Hanbing are like sisters. The two had endless words to say when they met. Princess Liqisi is beautiful and generous, and her every move has an indescribable grace and luxury. Shen Sirui and her hit it off at first sight, and the two are now inseparable.

What made Ou Hanbing even happier was that the "female butcher" Bai Qingying and Bai Qinglian sisters also came to Shiyan. The two sides met and hugged each other tightly. Bai Qinglian is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also has a somewhat similar personality to the "Sword God" Shen Mengrui, both of whom are not afraid of the heavens and the earth, holding the "Butterfly Double Knife" and Shen Mengrui on the first day, the "Butterfly Double Knife" killed the "Dragon Scale Knife" in the dark, and the two sides were tied, the two were heroes and cherished heroes, and they became best friends.

It's just that King Huashan didn't expect that there was a person who came uninvited, and when the "big sword general" Zhu Cheng appeared in "General Xianwu's Mansion", Ou Lingtian was a little confused. Thinking that he was sent by the emperor, he hurriedly went out to greet him. The first thing Zhu Cheng said when he saw him: "Lord Ou, I went to your general's mansion alone, and the emperor doesn't know." ”

Ou Lingtian immediately understood, the two came to the living room, Zhu Cheng sat down and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate Brother Ou yet, you are also an official of the imperial court now, you can be glorious and rich, and glorify your ancestors." ”

King Huashan smiled bitterly and replied: "Glory and wealth are only temporary, let alone glorious ancestors. General Zhu is not sarcastic about me. ”

Zhu Cheng smiled slightly: "It depends on how Lord Ou behaves, haven't you heard the saying that the person who knows the times is Junjie." ”

Ou Lingtian's face sank: "Didn't Lord Zhu come up as a lobbyist for the emperor and persuade me to disband my arms and confess my guilt to the emperor?"

Zhu Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Lord Ou will sacrifice his head, and the emperor will not forgive you." The saint is sometimes very narrow-minded, and he can't rub sand in his eyes. And he won't admit his mistake when he dies. ”

Ou Lingtian looked at Zhu Cheng strangely and asked, "Knowing that Zhu Di will not let me go, isn't Lord Zhu asking for trouble when he comes to our General's Mansion now." ”

"Big Knife General" Zhu Cheng said: "In the tragedy in the Shen family's compound back then, I admired Shen Yunhe's strength and unyieldingness, and I also admired Brother Ou's righteousness. I swore that I would never be an enemy of the Ou family and the Shen family in the future. And I will do my best to protect the descendants of the two families, and the tragedy of the province will happen again. I, Zhu Cheng, do what I say. ”

Ou Lingtian stood up and clasped his hands into fists and said, "Master Zhu, I, Ou Lingtian, have spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I really shouldn't be." Please accept Ou Lingtian's apologies, I'm sorry. ”

Zhu Cheng also stood up and laughed: "There, there and there, King Huashan should suspect me, after all, I have the same ancestor as the emperor." But I still know what is not good or bad. Lord Ou, although the current emperor is a little brutal, he is still a saint who has made a difference, and the prosperity of Yongle is not blown out. The emperor is not a faint monarch who only knows pleasure. Lord Ou beat the Ming army too badly, and was defeated repeatedly, for a short-tempered, vindictive and vindictive emperor, this is the biggest challenge to the imperial power. Therefore, the emperor will never let you go. ”

Ou Lingtian nodded: "I have long understood that the emperor conferred on me the prefect of Shiyan is just a delaying tactic. The enmity between me and him cannot be resolved. The sword and the soldiers will meet each other, and you will live or die. Ou Lingtian thanked Master Zhu for reminding me, I will never forget your great kindness. ”

Zhu Cheng shook his head and said, "Don't say thank you." I know that Lord Ou should be prepared, and the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth. The emperor can't help you in a short time. But what you have to guard against is Liu Jing of Dongchang, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty disturbed the government, which was a hidden danger left by the first emperor. It's a pity that the emperor continues to pass on this method. Dongchang people kill innocents indiscriminately, do evil, and no one in the world hates them. But the emperor needs them to quell the rebellion and curb the unforeseen intentions of officials. With a murderous and invisible sword hanging over his head all the time, no one will have a good time. ”

Ou Lingtian said movingly: "Lord Zhu's words made Ou Mou feel like an empowering, and his mouth suddenly opened. I'll be careful. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Although Lan Lingxi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, has a grudge against Lord Ou, this person is not bad and can be used. In addition, I also recommend a person to you, he is the general Zhan Guocheng of the Shiyan garrison, who was my subordinate. I saved his life more than once on the battlefield. This person made a three-pointed two-edged knife, and his martial arts were excellent. And he is bold and jealous. The reason why Shiyan has fewer bandits and more peace is all due to him. I've already said hello to him. However, Zhan Guocheng is not a villain who clings to power, I think he is the only official in Shiyan who did not come to the house to give gifts. ”

Ou Lingtian laughed: "What Master Zhu said is right, I like such people." If he doesn't come, I'll come and visit in person. ”

Zhu Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and Brother Ou is open-minded and high-spirited." Victory, not rejoicing. Defeat, do not be discouraged. There is thunder in the chest and the face is like a flat lake, but you can worship the general. It's a pity that the emperor doesn't make good use of people, and the ghost is obsessed. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Ou Lingtian blushed and replied, "Brother Zhu has won the award, you are an adult, and you are really the pillar of the country." ”

The two smiled at each other, their hands clasped together.

When Zhu Cheng said goodbye, Ou Lingtian repeatedly retained, hoping that he would stay for a few more days, Zhu Cheng said that the imperial court had many eyes and ears, especially the spies under Liu Jing in Dongchang. It's okay to make waves, and it's inconvenient for me to stay for a long time. King Huashan took out the gold, silver and jewelry, Zhu Cheng did not accept anything, and Ji Kang said with emotion: "Brother Ou, this is the real hero, there are not many such bright and handsome people in the Ming army." Admire, admire, admire. ”

Ou Lingtian replied with deep feelings: "In the past ten years, I have been fighting with Zhu Di endlessly, although I have experienced ups and downs, each has its own victory and defeat. I also made a lot of friends who can take care of each other and share the same furnace, a good thing, a good thing. I can be worthy of my ancestors, and I am worthy of my children and grandchildren.
