Over there, Yang Liu stood beside Yang Qi in frustration like a child, and said to Yang Guandao, "Sister, it seems that I am a frog at the bottom of the well!"
Yang Guan didn't say anything, but old Yang Qi came over with a smile. The strong old man patted Yang Liu's shoulder heavily and said loudly, "Young people endure more hardships, and old people suffer less! Son, it’s a good thing for you to go out and practice more this time.”
Behind the scenes, Yang Qi has already acquiesced to this business.
Liu Yi, who was listening to all directions, overheard what Yang Qi said, and couldn't help but cheered in his heart. He hurriedly ran to Yang Qi, got an advantage and acted like a good boy, and said affectionately, "Thank you, Grandpa Yang, for your support. I will certainly live up to the high expectations of my parents in my hometown for this trip." , attack with all your strength."
It was obvious that Liu Yi was using words to speed up the pace of this action. As long as Lao Yang Qi refused to comment on what he said, then today's matter would be settled, and the subsequent literary fight would be unnecessary.
Old Yang Qi, who seemed to be strong-willed, had been in the martial arts world all his life and was actually very smooth. When he saw Liu Yi climbing up the pole, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, don't thank me." I, I just said casually. After the fighting, the next step is the literary fight, right? In our escort agency, Guan'er is now in charge. Only if you can pass Guan'er's literary test can you be recognized by our Lingyuan Escort Agency. .You know, when it comes to Hirata, you can’t help but have fists, and even more ink!”
What Lao Yang Qi said was impeccable. After he finished speaking, he hid aside.
Yang Guan was striking while the iron was hot, taking advantage of every opportunity, and said softly, "What? How could it be that after competing with your aunt, you, a heroic young man like you, are so timid?"
Liu Yi was led away by Yang Guan's nose again. He felt helpless for a while and could only agree, "If the aunt is so elegant, Yi'er will do her best to accompany her. However, if Yi'er fails to pass Wenguan, I still hope Auntie still agrees to Yi'er's request."
Yang Guan changed his look from kind to kind, his face changed suddenly, and he said seriously to Liu Yi, "What are these words that Yi'er said? A gentleman's words are hard to follow. If you can't complete the Wen Dou test, why did you agree to it? A man. , since you have agreed, you must fulfill your promise, do you understand?"
Liu Yi said with a grimace, "I know, aunt."
Seeing that Liu Yi suffered a verbal defeat, Qiao Miaoqing felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She pulled Liu Yi away and confronted Yang Guan, arguing, "Liu Yi has masters and elite soldiers to help him, so he will use absolute force to intimidate the gang. In the face of absolute force, why do we need brains?"
"Hey, little sister, you are still new to the world!" Yang Guan sighed softly, and then walked slowly to the car, saying every word, "If there are really good soldiers and strong generals, why are you still coming to my place today? Isn't it because of the five counties? On the surface, Hirata Ling has unlimited glory, but the emperor didn't give my nephew a soldier? Since my nephew wants to start from scratch and create a new order, then even if Lingyuan Escort Agency is like sesame and mung beans, no matter how small it is, isn't it still a dish? ?”
Yang Guan's ability to penetrate people's hearts is unparalleled in the world.
When Liu Yi heard the words "create a new order", he was slightly startled. Then, his eyes burst out with a fiery light. That eager and ambitious look was like a bird that had just woken up in the forest. It looks like a tiger looking for food, which is intimidating.
Yang Guan was also frightened by this look. He stood there and stopped talking.
Qiao Miaoqing was obviously unconvinced and said sternly, "Qin Emperors and Han Dynasties, Zhao Zhao Wu Lie, since ancient times, the changes in the world, the changes in the times, and the changes in history have all been caused by martial arts. Scholars and scholars can only maintain their political integrity." That’s all.”
Yang Guan laughed loudly for the first time, "Little sister, are you starting to sophistry? Shang Yang's reforms and Li Si's rule of the country, which one is not a civil servant? Even the founding fathers of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin, two and a half are Confucian scholar, can you say that literati are not important? Can you say that literary struggle is not important?"
Qiao Miaoqing hesitated and couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, she could only stamp her feet angrily and stand aside sulking.
Yang Guan lazily walked up to Liu Yi and said, "A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to serve. I hope you understand this, nephew."
Liu Yi grinned, "My nephew understands."
Yang Dian nodded and continued to beat Liu Yi, "After all, our Lingyuan Escort Bureau is a small temple. If we can't stand the tossing, we will naturally stick to it and stick to it. It is precisely because we, the Lingyuan Escort Agency, have no capital, so we will not spend manpower and material resources to support a brainless fool. It is difficult for such a person to complete the great task of pacifying the fields of the five counties. Nephew, I hope you understand this. If you only rely on a lonely man on Pingtian Road, Yong, if you don't use your brain, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it to the end."
"My nephew has learned a lesson!" Liu Yi bowed deeply to Yang Guan, then smiled lightly and said, "Auntie, let's start?"
...
In the martial arts arena, Yang Guan was wearing a bright red brocade robe, and Liu Yi, who was in a coarse linen shirt, looked at each other in the arena. The group of old guys from the escort agency couldn't stand the formal old guys, and ran to poke the wild boar that they had beaten. It became quiet again.
Liu Yi said to Yang Guan in a warm voice, "Auntie, it's freezing cold, why don't we go inside to talk, so as not to cause the cold to happen."
At this time, Yang Guan showed infinite love in his eyes and said with a smile, "Haha! Auntie is not so squeamish. Here, Auntie has a question to ask and a few words to say. Now that the matter is over, Auntie will take you and Miss Qiao is going to eat wild boar!”
Liu Yi tightened her belt around her waist, raised her eyebrows, cupped her hands and said, "Auntie, please!"
"Yi'er, the martial arts field under your feet is fifteen feet square. Yi'er, the title of this martial arts battle is to clear away the floating snow in this place by your own efforts within twenty breaths."
After that, Yang Guan stood outside the venue, wrapped in a brocade robe, like a lazy fat cat, with a smile on his face, "Twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen..."
Qiao Miaoqing stood aside anxiously, thinking: If this is a hero in the realm of things, it is possible for him to use his energy to sweep away all the snowflakes and dust in three moves. It is absolutely impossible for a little white person like Liu Yi. !
Yang Liu, who was standing aside, felt that her sister's question was a bit difficult and mean!
Yang Guan ignored what others thought and started counting according to the rhythm. When he counted to 'ten', Liu Yi had an idea and ran to the living room like a rabbit. There was a ding in the living room, as if he had been attacked. Like a thief.
Yang Liu and Qiao Miaoqing stood sideways, eagerly waiting.
When Yang Guan counted to 'three', Liu Yi ran out with a big red blanket that had been rolled up and spread on the floor of the living room. He grabbed the two small edges, bowed and swung, and the red blanket was swept away. Throwing it far away, the word '一' fell, and the entire ground of the martial arts arena was tightly wrapped in a red blanket, leaving no space left.
Qiao Miaoqing and Yang Liu were shocked by this move.
Liu Yi gasped and smiled at Yang Guanhan, "Auntie, how are you?"
Yang Guan looked at Liu Yi with admiration, smiled, and pulled Liu Yi up, "Let's go eat wild boar meat!"
...
Yangliu Jintou, within the pear blossom wall, two people know their thoughts.
After a sumptuous evening meal, Old Yang Qi happily sent Liu and Qiao out of the escort office, while the Yang siblings made a fire in the living room.
The red blanket has been laid back in the living room, and a small flat-bottomed porcelain pot is placed on the charcoal fire basin where the two of them are sitting around. In the basin, four dehaired and cleaned wild boar trotters are rolling back and forth. There are no spicy condiments. Put ginger, green onions and cooking wine, with only a small amount of star anise, cinnamon and peppercorns, floating on the boiling water, gurgling and bursting with aroma, making the greedy siblings drool.
Yang Guan was rubbing the big yellow dog's head with sleepy eyes. She had been busy all day and was already pregnant. She was already exhausted. If it weren't for the mouthful of wild boar hooves that whetted her appetite, she would have gone to bed long ago.
Yang Liu sat there, absentmindedly on the pig's trotters, a little ready to make a move.
The Lingyuan Escort Bureau is a small business. They travel around the world every day and can't catch fat at all. Although I was an escort at a young age, except for the time when I met a bandit on the official road and became friends with my elder brother Liu Desheng, I have never experienced any big storms. The trip to the next five counties gave me a lot of experience and sharpened my skills, which was exactly what I wanted.
"Sister, my brother will go north with Liu Yi soon. Do you have anything else to ask me?"
Yangliu stretched his neck, ready to listen.
Yang Guan lay on the rocking chair, swaying leisurely, and whispered slowly, "Yes, actually, no. I will talk to you wherever I want. How much you can listen to it depends on you!"
Yang Liu said softly.
Yang Guan managed to gather his energy and said, "After Desheng left, even though the people of Lingyuan didn't say anything in front of them, they were still a little prejudiced against our escort agency. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so time-consuming and laborious in recruiting new people some time ago. Full establishment."
Yang Liu said in a deep voice, "Three feet of ice does not last in a day. Lingyuan's father regards me, Lingyuan Escort Agency, as the Liu family's lackey Fei Ying. This generation may not be able to change this stereotype."
"Therefore, if the Yang family wants to revitalize and the Lingyuan Escort Bureau wants to grow, it is necessary to immediately change the public opinion. Following Liu Yi to the fields of the five counties and benefiting the people is a unique opportunity!" Yang Guan said decisively, "Time waits not for us. , you need to catch the wind early, wouldn’t it be stupid if you really have to rely on time to erase the traces of shame?”
Yang Liu suddenly realized, "So this is my sister's intention!"
Yang Guan's lips formed a deep smile, "What else?"
Yang Liu praised, "Sister is brilliant!"
Yang Guan rubbed his lower abdomen gently, "I have long known that Miss Qiao who is following Liu Yi is a master in the realm of pushing monuments. You will definitely lose today, and no matter how the literary fight goes, I will definitely let you go with Liu Yi." Traveling around the world. Saints always move with the times, and wise men always take advantage of opportunities. For you and me, my sister and brother, this is the only opportunity to revitalize the escort agency and regain its reputation."
Suddenly, a determined look appeared in Yang Guan's eyes, "You must not give up this opportunity. If you don't succeed, you will be successful!"
Yang Liu said in shock, "Pingtian's incident is extremely dangerous. If it really comes to the moment when we need to burn the boat, is my sister really willing to risk all the accumulation of two generations in the escort agency for that boy Liu Yi?"
Yang Guan smiled mysteriously, as if he was confident, "Don't worry, Five Commanderies Pingtian will never fail."
Yang Liu looked at Yang Guan without knowing why, and Yang Guan patiently explained to Yang Liu, "Let's talk about the general trend of the world first. Twelve years ago, large and small families started a war in Chang'an, Gyeonggi Province, forcing the emperor's beloved concubine Zhang Diewu. He committed suicide with his sword, and his infant two princes died together. The emperor endured his sorrow and did not think about food or food for dozens of days. From then on, the family had an irreconcilable conflict with the emperor's imperial power. The family was cut off, and from then on From now on, it has become an inevitable trend.”
"The aristocratic families at that time did not take the opportunity to vacate the royal power and support their own troops. Instead, they went back to their own homes to govern their own affairs. It was really stupid. If the aristocratic families at that time could completely drain the power of the Liu family, how many people would be called kings and emperors in today's country? ." After Yang Guan sighed, he paused and continued, "The emperor has endured for twelve years and endured hardships. Now, the imperial power has risen again. There are philosophical assistants inside and famous generals outside. It is the right time to rise up. In recent years, the emperor has divided and disintegrated, The construction of the canal has gradually eroded the power of the world's clans. I estimate that even if the world's clans come to their senses and gather their forces to march directly to Chang'an, they will not be the opponents of the emperor today. In addition, the clans are gradually losing their support, so the destruction of the clans , it’s a matter of time.”
Yang Liu was convinced and asked, "What then?"
Yang Guandao said, "The Five Grain Civil Order is a great policy to benefit the people, but for the world's rich and powerful, it is tantamount to pulling fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. Without land, the noble families will have no income and tenants, and they can no longer drive up food prices wantonly, let alone afford it." With the high cost of raising private soldiers, what kind of threat does such a family pose to the emperor and the people of the world?"
Yang Liu said, "Then this time in Pingtian, won't the noble families have to rise up to resist?"
Yang Guan did not answer the question, took a sip of warm water, and continued, "Liu Quan has a lot of talent for studying the country, but he has never been able to develop it. Do you really think he is willing to live in a small school for the rest of his life? Everything is just... This is just a game laid out by His Majesty, and Liu Quansheng is the Emperor's most powerful chess piece, destined to set an example for the Emperor to bring peace to the world. And this is what he has been running for ten years, risking his own life, determined to eradicate Liu. The important reason why he still stays in Lingyuan City after his achievements."
Yang Guan suddenly realized again, "In other words, Liu Yi's success in Pingtian, the five counties, is bound to be successful without any danger?"
"Well, although there are no big tycoons in the five counties, there will be many dangers along the way. I think the success rate is about 10 or 10!" Yang Guan's eyes flashed a little, and he said seriously, "Back then, Han Li treated Liu Yi The motto of ‘Everywhere in the world is your home’, I think I finally understood it today!”
When Yang Liu mentioned this mysterious thing, he suddenly became interested, "Sister, what do you mean by this?"
Yang Guan calmed down, "When Wuhou was hired, the treacherous officials stole their lives; when Yehou came out of the mountain, the world was in chaos; Liu Yi was ordered, and the powerful clan was in power. In today's world, although there is no military chaos, there are already signs of chaos. , Throughout the ages, times have created heroes. In such a chaotic world, many influential figures will surely emerge. If Han Li Fengping is followed, my nephew's future is limitless!"
Yang Liu became more energetic and asked more thoroughly, "Sister, are you saying that this boy will be one of the five great men in the future?"
"More than that, not everyone can live everywhere." Yang looked at the stars outside the hall, his eyes swaying, "This child will either become a great treasure or overthrow the world."
"No way, sister! Do you think so highly of this kid?" Yang Liu was a little surprised, very surprised. He lowered his voice and said, "The world is peaceful, how can anyone follow him to overthrow the world?"
Yang Guansheng was as gentle as a mosquito, "If I remember correctly, the second prince who died along with the emperor's beloved concubine Zhang Diewu many years ago was also named Liu Yi."
Yang Liu's eyes widened, "Sister, are you saying that this Liu Yi is the second prince back then, Liu Yi?"
Yang Guandao, "It's just a guess."
Yang Liu's mind was spinning rapidly and he immediately asked Yang Guan, "The second prince was killed by his biological mother Zhang Diewu in front of 200,000 soldiers and countless dignitaries. How could he come back from the dead?"
Yang Guan said in a deep voice, "What if Liu Quansheng had used a trick to change the situation?"
"No wonder, no wonder Liu Yi was able to receive the order of Pingtian from the five counties at such a young age." Yang Liu shouted loudly, "Sister, aren't my brother and sister already on a high branch? As long as they follow Liu Yi wholeheartedly, they will be at least the best in the future. You can also get a title!"
"Shut up!" Yang Guan quickly poured the tea in his hand onto Yang Liu's face.
Yang Liu woke up in an instant, stuck out his tongue, wiped the tea stains on his face, stood up quickly, closed the door and window of the living room, then sat opposite Yang Guan, laughed in a low voice, "Sister, this business is a sure profit! "
Yang Guan glanced at Yang Liu and said, "First of all, what my sister told you just now is just my sister's guess and cannot be taken seriously; secondly, the family is powerful and following Liu Yi, we have to The price paid may be beyond imagination, and may even overwhelm our escort agency; in the end, even if this Liu Yi is the other Liu Yi, this road will be more dangerous. Do you really think that the eldest prince and his party are just for food? They are all standing in the way. As long as the powerful people at the pinnacle of the empire take action, our Lingyuan Escort Bureau will not even have any scum left in an instant!"
Yang Liu lowered his head and said, "I understand!"
"My brother, look at this vast country, there are many extremely intelligent people, and there are also people who know about this matter, but you can see who told this matter? Even the Gyeonggi Rebellion back then has been suppressed until now. Everyone chose to forget tacitly. There are some things that cannot be said even if the nine tribes are wiped out, otherwise, they will be catastrophic!" Yang Guan's voice was low and stern, "Brother, this is a secret, and the secret must not be leaked, otherwise, you and I Everyone is at risk of death, do you understand?"
Yang Guan said earnestly, "As long as this secret is not exposed, we will be safe."
Yang Liu was silent. After a while, the tangy aroma of meat came out from the pig's trotters. Yang Liu just raised his head and said, "Sister, brother, I'm not good at making decisions. Sister just gives orders and I will execute them. If sister is determined to follow Liu Yi, then I will swear to the death to protect Liu Yi’s safety.”
Yang Guan was tired, so she playfully put her bare hands deep, flicked Yangliu's forehead, and said playfully, "I bet on him to succeed, and you bet on him to lose. Let's just bet on the wild boar's hooves in this pot, and we'll see. What do you think?" "
"Betting again? Hey, sister Bingxue is smart. With her here, I have never beaten her. I don't want to bet. I'm going to bed!" Yang Liu yawned, stood up and left, "I won't eat the pig's trotters. One day, if you and I, my siblings, succeed in climbing the dragon and clinging to the phoenix, will we be short of such glory and wealth?"
Yang Guan knew his brother's thoughts well. It was true that he was going back to the house, but it was false that he was sleepy. In fact, he wanted to keep all four wild boar trotters for himself.
The moon and stars were sparse outside the house again, and the winter nights in the northern part of the country were always more desolate. Yang Guan sat looking out the window and murmured to himself, "Actually, I prefer myself many years ago. She was braver than me and had less regrets than me." , know less than me, think less than me!”
Could it be that this is growth?
...
In the year 341 of the Han calendar, on December 8th, the sky and the earth were freezing. The rivers were frozen, the roads were covered with ice, and the birds were flying. On this day, the world called it heavy snow.
On this day, an imperial edict in Chang'an City was announced quickly by Mo De, the second son of the Mo clan in Naizhou, Zhongsan doctor. After seeing the notice posted by the county governor, the entire Lingyuan, and even the entire Huaxing County, The temple was blown up.
Everyone was talking a lot, and they were all speculating about what was so special about this twelve-year-old boy with an ordinary family background and only a somewhat humble name, that he could be appreciated by the emperor and receive such an important task, and thus became the order of Pingtian in the five counties, and with him. The Lord Sheriff is an equal.
Some people think that Liu Yi has a father who is regarded as a confidant by the emperor. However, under Xia Qing's secret manipulation, Liu Yi's various feats during his northward journey last year were spread among the villages in Huaxing County, and the trend of disdain for Liu Yi was After an instant change, they couldn't help but exclaimed: What a great young hero!
Everything in the world is a lackey, but young people cannot be bullied.
While there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, some "little grass on the wall" had already begun to take notice, and went to Wangnan Building and Zigui Academy to deliver greetings, gifts, and express their loyalty. Refuse, Liu Quansheng simply closed the business and chose to stay at home for the winter.
Liu Yi naturally didn't know this, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to this kind of human past.
After working hard for half a month, he was well prepared and thought through. After receiving the edict, he immediately quietly came to the fourth floor of Wangnan Building, carried his only belongings, and walked into the door of Qinghe Residence.
From today on, this is the county seat of the Five Counties of Pingtian Order!
The fireworks in the old garden are back in full swing, and the heroes are here together!
Wang Dali, who was in the state of disarming, led twenty county soldiers, and Yang Liu, who was in the state of falling horse, led twenty Qingzhuang bodyguards. They were already waiting here. The two sides were clearly separated and did not interfere with each other. They lined up in front and had high fighting spirit.
Liu Yi looked at Huangfu Lu and Qiao Miaoqing who were coming with them, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart: Two months ago, he was not the owner of this place. A month ago, his biggest dream was to be the shopkeeper of Wangnan Tower. Now Suddenly, he turned into a feudal official. Hey, people are really unpredictable and greedy!
The small pine trees in the middle of Qinghe Village were rustling. Fifteen tiger scolds were either hiding in the forest or disguised as cooks, all over Qinghe Village. After cleaning up everything in the nest, Liu Yi took Yang Liu and Wang Dali to Beishi He issued the Pingtian Order of the five counties and recruited thirty strong men with high commissions to increase his popularity.
Of course, the money to recruit strong men comes from Xia Datou in Wangnan Tower!
At this moment, Liu Yi held the bronze seal on his waist, stood on the stone steps with his head held high, and issued his first order after taking office: Tonight, I will have dinner and drinks with you at Wangnan Tower, and the next day I will set off for Xuanhuai County to visit old Zhao Yao .
Pingtian, the fifth county, started from the Zhao family in Huaxing!
