In East County, Shouyang Mountain City is closed, and the shouts of killing are shaking the sky. In the winding foothills, five giants with a height of 100 meters in five colors guard the valley. The ground shakes when the giants move. It is Liao Hua who is using Five Ding to open the mountain! The bandits like locusts were constantly defeated by the rocks lifted by the giants. Even though their charge was like a sea tide, the five giants were like the mainstay. At the same time, the city was closed. Qin Jiwu led the Dongyue soldiers to form an unbreakable barrier, and Bai Bo, who was wrapped in a white scarf, The villains were constantly repelled. With the cooperation of Liao Hua and Qin Jiwu, Yangshou Pass was as stable as Mount Tai. .
At the pass of Shouyang Mountain, the prefect Qiao Mao, guarded by a group of soldiers, looked at the fierce battle in the ravine. At this time, the blood on Qiao Mao's face was not completely dry, and there were even several stab wounds on his body. With the support of a guard, he sat on a boulder, wiped the blood on his face and said: "The Baibo bandits are so powerful. If I hadn't had the foresight to go to Taishan County overnight to bring reinforcements, the name of Dongyue Tiger would be well-deserved. There are not many powerful generals like Liao Hua and Qin Jiwu in Yanzhou. If they had not led the army to assist today, Dongjun would have fallen!" Qiao Mao was one of the eighteen princes in history. Of course, he was defeated not long after he appeared. Liu Dai is one of the most unpopular princes, and of course, as an eighteenth prince, he is a rare lord-level historical general. Qiao Mao also has a special unit, but it is a very unpopular special unit called Kaishan. Lux! The name sounds tall and domineering, but the mountain warriors are not a combat type. They can be said to be an auxiliary type. They are good at digging mountains to clear roads and building mountain walls! This is a very embarrassing unit. When he was in power, Liu Dai used this unit to dig mountains and canals, build cities and dams to benefit the people. But when the war came, the combat effectiveness of these mountain warriors was not much different from that of the militiamen, and their morale was not high. Bai Bo When the bandits rose, Dongjun was directly captured. Qiao Mao was also helpless. The Baibo bandits fled to the mountains and forests under the power of Zhu Jun. Qiao Mao had a vague premonition that the Baibo bandits would definitely reappear. Therefore, he was different from Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and other Yanzhou nobles who were hostile to the strong rise of Qin Ge. Instead, he kept showing goodwill to Qin Ge and Liberty City, often saying good things for Liberty City, and always communicating with each other. He knew that now that the dragon power of the Han Dynasty had collapsed, Yanzhou would never live in peace in the future with the Baibo Bandits and Taishan Bandits. , and Yanzhou must be guarded by someone, of course Liu Dai can't count on it.
Qiao Mao firmly believed that the way to pacify Yanzhou must rely on Qin Ge, so when the whole Yanzhou was suppressing Qin Ge, he stood up and publicly supported it, and kept writing to the court about Qin Ge's achievements. This made Qiao Mao, who had always been at odds with Qin Ge, stand up and publicly support Liu Dai was even more jealous of him. Although Qiao Mao actively recruited troops to prepare for war after the war, he had been psychologically affected by the Baibo bandits, so he strengthened defense construction at the border city gates adjacent to the Baibo bandit forces, and also strengthened security patrols at the city gates. When the movements of the Baibo bandits were discovered at the border, he Called Liberty City for help overnight. Man Chong attaches great importance to Qiao Mao as an ally. Now Qin Ge is isolated and helpless in Yanzhou, relying entirely on the support of Qiao Mao and Ying Shao. Moreover, the Qiao family where Qiao Mao belongs is one of the great gentry families in Yanzhou, and his father Qiao Xuan is a former Confucian scholar. Sikong, one of the leaders of Lin, and one of the top three! Qiao Mao was the former governor of Yanzhou. Although he was dismissed because of offending the ten regular servants due to his position, this made Qiao Mao even more famous all over the world. Therefore, Qiao Mao's support was even more important to Qin Ge, and Man Chong had already been with Qiao Mao for a long time. Mao reached an agreement and secretly stationed a large army at the border of Mount Tai. Man Chong directly sent 100,000 Dongyue troops, with Liao Hua as the commander, Qin Jiwu and Sun Guan as the left and right generals respectively, and Yingzhao led the 5,000 White Tiger Army and The 50,000 phantom demon corps led by Kui Niu rushed to the aid of Dongjun!
When the Baibo Army gathered troops to attack Dongjun in an all-out manner, the reinforcements from Liberty City had already crossed the Jibei Kingdom. In addition, the city defense run by Qiao Mao in Dongjun was strong, so he personally led the Dongjun troops to guard it. After holding on for ten days, the reinforcements from Liberty City rushed to the battlefield. .
Qiao Mao looked at the fierce battle in the mountains and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now the Dongjun soldiers and the Liberty City reinforcements relied on the strong city gates to withstand the crazy attack of the white wave bandits.
Qiao Mao's younger brother Qiao Yu pointed at the mountain pass carrying the Blood Ming Shield and led his army to fight Qin Jiwu who kept knocking the Baibo bandits down the city pass: "Brother! This is Lord Qin's clan brother Qin Jiwu! What the Taishan people said This is one of the Three Tigers of the Qin Clan, along with Lord Qin’s younger brother Qin Jizong and his clan brother Qin Jiben, these two are also fierce warriors who are hard to beat!"
In order to get closer to Liberty City, Qiao Mao sent his younger brother Qiao Yu to visit Liberty City. As a liaison with Liberty City, he even bought a family property in Liberty City and moved some of the family members, old and young, to Liberty City. Therefore, for Liberty City Qiao Yu knows a lot about the city.
Qiao Mao gently stroked his beard and said, "I once heard Zhong Yuan (Ying Shao) say that the Qin family is a reclusive family. Can its family be as big as a noble family?"
Qiao Yu nodded and shook his head and said: "Prefect Ying is only half right. The Qin family does have the strength of the clan, but its potential is endless. The most outstanding thing about the Qin family now is the young people in the clan. In addition to the three tigers, there are also There are Shuangying and Eight Heroes! These people are all descendants of Master Qin, and none of them have reached the top! At this time, although the Free City seems to be shrinking under the pressure of Liu Dai and the noble clan, in fact, it is secretly keeping a low profile, and Moreover, unparalleled generals like Yu Jin secretly trained their troops and accumulated strength. This time, Liberty City was able to send more than 100,000 troops as reinforcements at once, which shows that its strength is still reserved. Although Liu Dai framed Master Qin and trapped him in Luoyang, recently Information came from Luoyang. Master Qin actually passed the code revision and shined at the Lantern Festival. Now he has become a popular figure among the Luoyang nobles. This time, wars are spreading all over Yanzhou. Without Master Qin to guard him, I am afraid that Bai Bo The bandits and Taishan bandits will run rampant in Yanzhou, so we should join forces with Zhang Miao and Bao Xin to write to the court to welcome General Qin back to Yanzhou. By then, the rise of the Qin family will be unstoppable!"
Qiao Mao looked at Qiao Yu and seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said: "You seem to have a point in your words... Don't hold back when it comes to big brother!"
Qiao Yu took a deep breath and said: "My little sister is nineteen this year. Because her father passed away, she has been observing mourning for three years. Originally, when my father was alive, my Qiao family was prosperous. Since my father passed away, eldest brother, you have been Chang Shi was framed and demoted as the prefect of Dongjun. My Qiao family also began to decline. The last time the Baibo bandits invaded Dongjun, my family suffered heavy losses. Now that the era of great strife is coming, my Qiao family is in a state of turmoil. This time You must rely on a backer!"
Qiao Mao's eyes widened and she said, "You said you wanted my little sister to marry Qin Ge!"
Qiao Yu nodded and said: "My little sister is in her youthful days. When her father was alive, she was the oiran of the Lantern Festival. She was famous all over Luoyang. At that time, the sons of the noble family were vying to pursue her, but Mr. Qin was an invincible hero, and he was unmarried. He was a talented man and a beautiful woman. !”
Qiao Mao frowned and said: "When my father was alive, my little sister met a young man named Zhang Xiu at the Lantern Festival! Because my father was a prominent man at that time, the young man was also arrogant. Zeng said After being granted the title of Marquis, I came to pick up my little sister. The two of us have already made a private decision for life, and now you ask me to do this!"
Qiao Yu shook his head and said: "Brother! You are too pedantic. That boy has disappeared without a trace since we said goodbye three years ago. Now that the war is in chaos, whether he can survive or not is still a matter of fact. Could it be that if he doesn't show up in this lifetime, my little sister will?" Are you going to be a widow for the rest of your life? And it is just a private decision, without the orders of your parents or the words of a matchmaker. Now you are the elder brother, and the eldest brother is the father. And for the sake of the Qiao family, I think my little sister knows the general situation! I think Qin Ge is a person They are definitely not things in the pool! His subordinates Yu Jin, Man Chong, Mao Jie and others are all heroes of the world. Although they act upright, they uphold justice. Now they are just trapped in the shallows. At this time, providing help in the snow is much better than adding icing on the cake. !" Qiao Mao remained silent.
At this time, the battle in the foothills became fierce. Hu Cai, one of Bai Bo's commanders, personally led the army to attack the fortress. His whole body was shrouded in bloody flames. His body was already demonized and was more than ten feet tall. His body was covered with demon patterns, and his hair was disheveled and cracked. The bloody mouth is like the ancient demon god coming to the world. Hu Cai is holding a strange war hammer. The hammer head blooms like a lotus and is wrapped in a ball of blood-colored demon fire. Every time he swings it, demon flames that are several feet high can surge out. This kind of demon Once the flame touches a warrior, it will be unable to stop and will directly burn him into a skeleton! Moreover, this Hu Cai used evil methods to raise a kind of demonic insect. This kind of demonic insect is like a firefly, lodged in the flame magic hammer. Hu Cai can control the magic charge to attack the troops. Anyone contaminated by the fire insect will be burned to death by the demonic fire. , it can be said to be extremely ferocious and unstoppable wherever it goes.
In order to prevent Hu Cai from massacring his troops, Yingzhao and Sun Guan joined forces to fight Hu Cai! Hu Cai's movement is strange, and he seems to be able to merge with the flames. Once the flames flicker, his figure will disappear. Yingzhao used his speed to restrain Hu Cai, while Sun Guan controlled the Nian beast to fight fiercely with him head-on. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky in the valley, and Qiao Mao's eyes widened at the shocking power.

Yuefu is an academy that is independent of the Confucian and Taoist Holy Palace. It is also a gathering place for royal musicians. It is responsible for compiling ritual music and music. It is similar to the popular record companies in real society. It is performed at all levels and in various places throughout the Han Dynasty. Music is made here, and of course the music skills of the Confucian and Taoist Academy are also learned here.
Qin Ge was recuperating in another hospital. For the past ten days, he had been listening to music in the valley every day to cultivate himself. Coupled with Yuan Shao's ambergris and Ji Ping's treatment, Qin Ge's mental recovery speed exceeded everyone's imagination. He could get out of bed and walk every day. Qin Ge cherished his study time in the Confucian and Taoist Palace very much, so after recovering some of his energy, he went directly to the Yuefu in the academy to practice music, because practicing music can cultivate one's sentiments, and while studying When you can cultivate your spirit.
As soon as he entered the Yuefu, Qin Ge was immediately dazzled. When Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, he saw various musicians in various palaces and small courtyards being intoxicated by the music. Under the guidance of a musician, Qin Ge walked into the music room in the center of the hall. Hall, he has made an appointment for today's class in advance.
Qin Ge stepped into the concert hall and saw a person gently beating a row of chimes. The musician said goodbye and left. This person was Cai Yong. Qin Ge knelt down and sat aside quietly listening to Cai Yong's chime performance.
After a long time, Cai Yong stopped tapping, turned back to look at Qin Ge and said, "Brother Qin, how was my performance just now?"
Qin Ge said in surprise: "Sir, are you playing? I thought you were tuning!"
Cai Yong was stunned for a long time, then he laughed loudly, pointed at Qin Ge and said with a smile: "Brother Qin! You haven't changed at all! But music is about love. I was upset just now, and the only music I played was rhythm. , and blank rhyme can really only be regarded as tuning!"
Qin Ge looked at Cai Yong carefully, shook his head and sighed: "I heard that my husband is compiling the history of the Han Dynasty. Recently, due to conflicts between some historical journals and the ten regular servants, my husband's hard work has been wasted. It is a trivial matter for me to learn skills. How dare I trouble my husband?" Come in person!”
Cai Yong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "My words are embarrassing to kill Cai Yong! I am very kind to you. I am in jail, but I am indifferent to you. What I said today makes Cai Yong Shameless!"
Qin Ge smiled and said: "Sir, what you said is different. The sage said that friendship between gentlemen is based on righteousness, and friendship between villains is based on benefit. The friendship between me and sir can be regarded as the friendship between gentlemen!"
Cai Yong took a deep look at Qin Ge and sighed for a long time: "Brother! You are completely different from the heroic spirit you were when we first met. You are completely different!"
Qin Ge smiled bitterly and said: "People have their own words, and animals have their own words. I plunged into the center of the whirlpool in Luoyang. In the blood and tears, I shed my claws, broke my horns, and tore off my fur! Now I have integrated. This collective, but Master Zhu once said, 'After washing away the lead, you will see the gold', and now I finally understand that the gold you mentioned is the original intention!"
