The great treacherous minister Qin Hui and Liang Tan, the godson of Liang Shicheng, one of the six traitors, gathered in Zhenjiang Mansion. Coupled with the Jinshan Temple that harbored filth and evil, the people of Zhenjiang Mansion were really in trouble.
Things must turn against each other, and there is always hope in despair. The hope of Zhenjiang Mansion is the Qiao Family Courtyard.
Huijue told Xu Xian about Zhenjiang Mansion, saying that the Qiao Family Courtyard was the savior of the poor people in Zhenjiang Mansion.
In addition to the Jinshan Temple, which is full of evil, Zhenjiang Prefecture also has the Qiao Family Courtyard.
When the tenant farmers were forced into desperation by Jinshan Temple, there were three Qiao brothers who served them justice.
Twenty years ago, due to a famine, the three Qiao brothers fled with everyone. They went through hardships and many companions fell down along the way.
The three brothers relied on their strong will and strong desire to survive and fled to Zhenjiang Mansion.
There are too many refugees, and some refugees have gone beyond the moral bottom line in order to survive. To avoid bringing disaster to the residents of the city, the city gates have been closed, and the government will distribute some porridge and water every other day.
Refugees have a lot of food but little food. Whether they can eat or not depends on strength and luck.
Porridge and water can help young and strong refugees breathe, giving them hope and preventing them from breaking out in despair and triggering a peasant uprising.
The elderly and frail refugees generally cannot get porridge and water, and they can only starve to death.
The three Qiao brothers were about 20 years old and in their prime. With their combined efforts, they could get porridge and water every day, but they also saw people starve to death every day because they could not get porridge and water for a long time.
Although the three of them didn't have enough to eat, they still managed to breathe a sigh of relief until one-third of the refugees died, finally gaining hope.
Although Da Chu's soldiers could not fight, they still had to fight. Da Chu often had conflicts with Liao and Xixia.
Every time there is a war, the border army will reduce its personnel. After the reduction, of course, it will be necessary to draw from the garrison in various places to fill the vacancies.
Part of Wujiangying's army has been transferred, and the vacancies must be filled.
There are too many conscriptions, and those with money and background cannot be recruited. Most of those without money and background join the army. It is difficult to recruit from local areas. These young and strong refugees, but hungry and on the verge of life and death, are the best choice.
"Come to Wujiang Camp and join the army, so you don't have to go hungry."
The recruiters from Wujiang Camp shouted, and the refugees rushed around.
The three Qiao brothers were young and strong, so they were chosen without any surprise.
Wujiang Camp is also very generous. They know that these refugees are very hungry and want them to serve Wujiang Camp wholeheartedly and let them have a full meal first, which is worth a thousand words.
Wujiang camp prepared dozens of tables of big fish and meat for hundreds of recruits.
The commander of Wujiang Camp waved his hand and said boldly:
"Brothers, open your mouth and eat. Follow me. I will ensure that you have big fish and meat to eat every day."
Looking at the table full of big fish and meat, the three Qiao brothers' eyes shone brightly, and they grabbed the food and stuffed it into their mouths.
The other recruits, like the three Qiao brothers, were trying their best to stuff food into their mouths.
If you have been hungry for too long and suddenly eat too much, something will happen.
Although they were young, they couldn't withstand such a torment. Some of them were so hungry that they even died from exhaustion.
The three Qiao brothers are the best. They should have awakened immediately after eating.
In the Piaomiao Realm, Dachu awakens in different ways. It is not surprising that there are many who awaken after eating like the three Qiao brothers.
There are many awakened people in Dachu, and the royal family's Diyuan Dan can also produce awakened people in batches.
There are not many awakened people in the army garrisoned in various places in Da Chu. The awakened people have better choices and do not have to join the army. The discipline in the army is too strict. The average awakened person advocates freedom and is not willing to stay in the army for a long time.
Although the three brothers have awakened, they cannot leave in a short time, so naturally they have been promoted exceptionally.
In the following years, the three brothers were promoted step by step, from captain to captain, and then to battalion commander.
Members of the Xingchu League found three people and asked them to join the Xingchu League.
The three of them had risen from a humble beginning, and what they needed most was to take advantage of the situation.
The Xingchu League saw that Jinshan Temple was the dominant force in Zhenjiang and wanted to find a force that could check and balance it!
Under the operation of Xingchu League, Qiao was promoted step by step. Qiao Er and Qiao San retired from the army to develop their own business territory, and the Qiao Family Courtyard was established.
The Qiao Family Courtyard in Da Chu is different from the Qiao Family Courtyard in Shanxi on Earth.
The Qiao Family Courtyard in Dachu was not the accumulation of the family, but the support of the Xingchu Alliance. It can also be said that Chu Huizong made it appear.
The Qiao family compound took in refugees, developed business, and established its own business empire. However, it was not the three Qiao brothers who took the credit, but the Xingchu League who brought in corresponding talents to help them succeed.
The entire courtyard of the Qiao Family Courtyard is in the shape of a trigram and is divided into nine courtyards.
The middle one is the main courtyard, and the outside is surrounded by eight courtyards in the shape of Bagua.
There are 108 small courtyards within nine large courtyards, with thousands of houses, like a maze, with a construction area of 90,000 square meters. It faces the street on three sides and Zhenjiang on the other side. It is surrounded by fully enclosed blue brick walls more than ten meters high. , the gate is a city gate-style hole.
Xu Xian looked down at the Qiao family compound from a distance and saw the familiar eight formations.
There are eight formations in the Xu Mansion, but they are hidden in the dark. Looking down at the Xu Mansion, one cannot see the outline of the eight formations. However, the layout of the Qiao Family Courtyard is a real eight formations.
Xu Xian asked the system:
"What's going on with the eight formations in Qiao's courtyard?"
The system's cold mechanical voice said:
"Fake Eight Formation Diagram, a real trap."
Xu Xian asked:
"You want to deal with me, are you ready twenty years in advance?"
Xu Xian was not born twenty years ago. If this is true, is he the son of destiny?
system:
"You think too much!"
Xu Xian asked:
"Who are you trying to deal with?"
system:
"Are you the target now?"
Xu Xian asked:
"The three Qiao brothers want to deal with me?"
system:
"The three Qiao brothers are good people. They just want to be good to others."
Xu Xian asked:
"Is someone using them against me?"
system:
“Things are complicated, depending on your choice, you can also let them be your helper.
You are actually very valuable. Not many people really want to deal with you, but there are more people who want to take advantage of you.
People who have the power to kill you don't necessarily want you dead, they want you to help them. "
Xu Xian smiled and said:
"I should be honored, have you ever thought of taking advantage of me?"
system:
"Of course, I'm using you too.
However, without my help, you are nothing and have no value to be used by others. "
Xu Xian asked:
"In this case, should I thank you?"
system:
"I'm sure. I chose you, and that's why you have achieved what you have today. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would be gone."
The system chose Xu Xian, and only then Zhuge Banshan deduced that Xu Xian was the hope of reform, so he helped Xu Xian escape.
Otherwise, Zhuge would be living in seclusion in Jiangning in the middle of the mountain, and would be beyond his reach if he wanted to help. He would have become Fang Zihao's dead soul long ago.
Xu Xian said:
"Thank you! Why did you choose me?"
system:
"Because of your bond and persistence, and your kindness."
Xu Xian asked:
"Can you make it clear? You only told half of it. I'm very curious."
system:
"My choice affects the entire Three Realms, so I must choose a kind person."
Xu Xian asked:
“What is my tie and persistence?”
The system said:
"Your relationship with Bai Suzhen in the past life."
Xu Xian did not expect that he and Bai Suzhen not only repaid their kindness in this life because of their chance encounter and rescued them 1,700 years ago, but also what kind of love they had in the past, and asked:
"Can you tell me in detail?"
The system said:
"The time has not yet come. When the day comes for you to attain enlightenment and ascend, you will naturally understand everything."
