Great Wei Nengchen

"Master, I really miss you, old man, our little Taoist temple, every plant and tree on Crouching Tiger Mountain..." Looking at the portrait on the altar, tears flickered in Xiao Yi's eyes, and in the haze, the old man It seems to be smiling, smiling so proudly...

472. Chapter 472 Plan ahead

After sacrificing ancestors, the next step is for the whole family to gather together and hold a night banquet to welcome the arrival of the new year. Although there are no fireworks or gala parties in this era, people have their own entertainment methods, such as lighting lanterns, Light a bonfire, enjoy singing and dancing, and when you are in the mood, you can also go on stage to dance for a while, which is a lot of fun!

In other mansions, all clansmen, young and old, gathered together, ranging from dozens of people to hundreds of people at most, and even the old aristocratic families gathered hundreds of people at once. In comparison, Xiao Yi's here is much more desolate Well, two wives, one younger sister, plus myself, the whole family has a total of four people, not to mention the lobby of the Hou Mansion, even a table is not enough to surround it!

Just when the family of four was worrying about the empty lobby, reinforcements appeared, and Daniu brought his wife to join him. He was even worse. Xiao Yi still had four members, but his family only had two members. No, to be precise It's two and a half mouthfuls, 'Tofu Xishi' has a sharp and sharp belly, like a big watermelon. According to the time calculation, it will be ripe in about a month!

"Welcome! Welcome! . . . a warm welcome!"

There was an uproar in the Hou's mansion immediately, Daniel was ignored directly, and the tofu Xishi was the key protection object. Eight healthy and powerful maids were dispatched to carry her directly from the heating car into the lobby. The big round watermelon is the treasure that is hard to buy!

Cai Wenji and Zhao Yanran's eyes turned red with envy. They would secretly ask Tofu Xi Shi about the secret of how to get pregnant, and then they would come over to pester Xiao Yi. The resentful eyes can melt people~~

Xiao Yi was also a little puzzled about this, not to mention that Zhao Yanran came here for a short time, Cai Wenji has been with him for more than half a year, and she has not lost her strength, so why is there no movement in her stomach?

"Is it because I didn't work hard enough, or was it because the black lightning had some effect on my body when I traveled back then? If I really want to be like Xiang Shaolong, the originator of the 'Traveling Clan', Xiang Shaolong in "Looking for the Qin", that would be terrible, Xiao Yi But those who like children very much, didn’t even get a wife in the previous life, so they don’t say anything, and in this life, there are so many beauties around, if they don’t create a nation…, then it would be a waste of resources!”

The women were all around the tofu xishi, Xiao Yi naturally wanted to comfort the neglected Daniel, the two of them, with a jar of wine, drank and chatted, from the child who was about to be born, to various things that happened in the court, and finally We talked about their friend ~ Ma Liu!

For more than half a year, Ma Liu has been sitting in the western capital of Chang'an, recruiting troops and buying horses, accumulating grass and grain, and managing with heart. He has completely established a foothold in the Guanzhong area and established his own prestige. He is honored by the old Qin people there. 'Prince Ma' is a veritable official of the frontier!

"Xiao Lang, the Prime Minister is obedient to your words, why don't you find an opportunity to make a statement and transfer Ma Liu back from Chang'an, so the three of us can get along day and night!" Starting from Crouching Tiger Mountain, no matter how big the storm is, the three good friends The friends have never been separated, and now they are successful and famous, but two are in Xuchang and one is in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, how can we not miss them?

"Hey!... It's not that you can't, it's that you can't!" Xiao Yi shook his head slightly, some things can't be explained in just one or two sentences!

"Why? Who in the court would dare to refute your face?"

Daniel is very aware of the weight of the words "Ghost Face Xiao Lang". The number one warrior of the Han Dynasty, the chief general of Cao Jun, has a high position and weight, and Xuchang City trembles when he stomps his foot, especially his prestige in the army is even more important. The height is frightening. Isn't it easy to transfer Ma Liu's position?

Xiao Yi still shook his head, and remained silent for a while, seeing that there were no outsiders around, dipped his finger in the drink, and wrote four words on the table~~'Prepare for a rainy day! '

People are not happy for a thousand days, and flowers are not popular for a hundred days. Don't look at the brothers who have to sit in high-ranking officials and ride on horses. Who can say what will happen after they can?

Are there still few heroes who were powerful for a while in history, Huo Guang who abolished the emperor, Liang Ji who poisoned the second emperor, and Dong Zhuo who tossed the Han court half to death. , the family died, and none of the whole family survived.

Cao Cao has also reached the same position now. As the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he is majestic and majestic. It's impossible to defend against one's own guns and arrows. The princes who dominate one side, the stubborn loyalists of the Han Dynasty, and those deep-rooted gentry families all want to kill the Caoying Group, making people sleepless!

If it was just these, Xiao Yi didn't take it too seriously. What really worried him was the inside of Cao Ying. As the power became stronger and occupied more and more territory, it began to become less pure!

Where there are people, there are fights, and there will be factions when there are fights. The same is true within Cao Ying. After several years of development, three major factions have vaguely formed, and their strengths are not weak!

The first is the clan generals of Cao and Xiahou. They have solid roots, deep connections, and high loyalty. Most of them are the backbone force at the beginning of their business. , Including the defenders inside and outside Xuchang City, most of them are also in their hands, led by Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren!

Secondly, there are some civil servants who are gradually becoming stronger. Since Cao Cao opened the shogunate, thousands of sons and daughters of the gentry have come to join them. The civil servants are also actively infiltrating into the army, constantly sending family members to join the army, and the representatives who are pushed to the front by them are Xun Yu and Xun You, both of whom are of genuine gentry origin!

As for the last force, it is Xiao Yi's small group. With his incomparable military exploits and reputation of invincibility, Xiao Yi has established a huge influence in the army, especially those generals with different surnames, such as Daniel, Ma Liu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Yu Jin, Dian Wei...all looked forward to him. This kind of power is invisible but real, no one dares to underestimate it!

The three forces appear to be calm on the surface, but secretly they are constantly at odds. It's just that there are powerful enemies on the outside and Cao Cao is in charge inside. There will be no problems for the time being, but what about ten years later? What about 20 years from now?Who can tell!

Cao Cao naturally had great trust in Xiao Yi, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was heart-to-heart, and the cooperation between the two was also very close, but what would happen to the second generation heir of the Cao family, whether he could tolerate Xiao Yi, who was a powerful soldier with high prestige? do people exist?

People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. Xiao Yi didn't want his family to be pushed to the guillotine or forced to go to wild places outside the Great Wall. Although those places were picturesque and the air was fresh, But he still hopes to stay where the Han people live!

Taking precautions, for the safety of his family in the future, Xiao Yi is also secretly developing his own power. He does not seek to replace them, but at least he can protect himself. Letting Ma Liu sit in Chang'an is one of his moves. The wind and waves, at least there is a way out, and when he was in a hurry, he took the whole family and ran to Guanzhong, closed the gate of Hangu, and made a school of his own, and it is not impossible to cede the land and become the king!

"Don't force me, or you will be responsible for the consequences!" This is Xiao Yi's life motto, when you say it, do it!

Although Daniel is simple, he is not mentally retarded. After Xiao Yi's reminder, he quickly understood the meaning, and then he clenched his fists and fell into deep thought~

If he was alone, he would naturally not care about anything, but now he has a wife, and he will soon have children. The weight of his wife and children made his inflexible brain start to spin desperately, and his IQ rose by at least three levels~~

"Or, in a few days, I'll go to another town to command the troops!" Daniel didn't think of any good way, but he would copy Xiao Yi's way. A great idea for surviving in troubled times!

"Hehe! Don't worry, I will never let my brothers suffer. Besides, this game of chess has just begun, and it is uncertain who will eat who in the end!" Xiao Yi poured out the wine in the jar in one breath. After drinking it, I looked at a few women who were laughing together, "For them, I have to be a good chess player!"

Women, turn boys into men!

Boy, turn men into warriors!

Protecting wives and children is the greatest mission of a warrior!

473. Chapter 473 The Treasure of the Hou Mansion

The first day of the first lunar month is a good day for giving New Year's greetings. To be precise, juniors give New Year's greetings to elders, and subordinates give gifts to their superiors. Xiao Yi is no exception. He wakes up early, cleans up, and then starts preparing gifts. Compared with officials with ten or hundreds of gifts, he is much less troublesome, he only needs to prepare one!

Because Xiao Yi has no elders, married two wives, neither has a father-in-law, and the only elder brother-in-law is still wielding a saber on the grassland to chop people around. The distance is too far, and the gift is also avoided. Besides, the Huns and Han people It’s not just a year, a nation that doesn’t even have writing, you expect them to make up a calendar, let’s talk about it after a few hundred years of evolution!

The elders are exempted, and the rest is the boss, which is also simple, just one—Prime Minister Cao Cao. Besides, there is no one in Xuchang who is qualified to let Governor Xiao personally send New Year's greetings. If I really want to go, instead How many people will be scared to death, thinking it is 'weasel pays new year greetings to chicken'?

Although the gift is one, the number is more than ten for others, because this is not only a gift for the prime minister, but also a gift for the future father-in-law, and also the future mother-in-law, future brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law , Sister-in-law... No matter whose share is missing, the future will not be easy!

It was very troublesome to choose a gift, and in the end Xiao Yi slapped his thigh, "I can't bear to give the child a wolf, I can't bear to give gifts, and I can't marry the child's mother", so let's go all out, open the treasure house of the Marquis Mansion, and let all the good things go out!

Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Yi is high-ranking, distinguished, and powerful, but they don't know that he is still a rich man with a mountain of things in the treasury of the Marquis Mansion. Get rich!

First of all, Ji County-Liang Family's share, now "Wuyou Liquor" has been sold all over the country, on both sides of the Yellow River, there are Wushou Liquor in almost inhabited places. It is modest to say that "Ridical Jindoujin" is a piece of wine. The river of gold is flowing day and night, and at least half of it has flowed into Xiao Yi's pocket...

What's more, it's the bonus of war. To put it bluntly, it was snatched. Xiao Yi's Xuanjia army is famous for their quick hands, ruthless heart, and black belly. It's just that these military masters don't want to rob ordinary people, firstly, Xiao Yi won't give in, and secondly, there's not much money to be made, if they want to rob, they can just rob the mansions of those high-ranking officials and wealthy people, that's the fun!

For example, in the recent Huainan battle, Yuan Shu’s pseudo-imperial palace was occupied by the Xuanjia army first, and the good things inside were naturally robbed. Otherwise, why would everyone fight desperately?

As the governor, Xiao Yi naturally received the most bonuses. Of course, he is not a stingy person, and all his subordinates are also full of food. It can be said that the great reputation of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' in the army, Half of it was killed, and the other half was piled up with money, "Come on, brother, there is meat to eat!", this is the best battle declaration!

Like most officials' homes, the treasure house of Wushouhou's Mansion is also built under the rockery in the garden. The Chinese people have this hobby. They always like to dig a deep hole at home and bury some treasures. You can find all the dogs here. If you go to search the mansion of an official, you don’t need to fight or ask, just carry the pickaxe and dig under the rockery.

The scale of the treasure house is very large, the result of the hard work of more than 300 soldiers for several months. The soil and rocks dug out alone are enough to build a rockery with a height of more than ten feet. There is a huge stone with a heavy iron gate at the entrance, and eight old wounded soldiers with complete hands and feet are guarding day and night, not to mention human beings, not even a mouse can walk in!

"See the governor!"

"See Missy!"

In addition to the eight old wounded soldiers who lacked noses and ears, there was a stone monument beside Jiashan with eight big blood-red characters on it~'The most important place in the Hou's mansion, trespassers will die! '

This sentence is not meant to scare people. The eight veterans are all masters who crawled out of the dead. They have black hearts, cruel hands, and poisonous eyes. Entering this forbidden area is equivalent to entering the Palace of Hades!

It turned out that only Xiao Yi and Xiao Jing were eligible to enter this treasure house, because they both had the surname 'Xiao', and later Cai Wenji and Zhao Yanran were added, because Xiao Yi gave them the family management tiger charm, which is already a special case Well, in other official mansions, except for the direct descendants of the family and the head of the family, no one else has the right to touch the core secrets like the treasure house!

"Brothers have worked hard, open the door!"

The number of times Xiao Yi came to the treasury was very few, and the total was no more than a slap, so that he was still not clear about how much money his family had!

Xiaojing is a frequent visitor here. One of her favorite things is to come here to hunt for treasures. Every time she finds a good thing, she will be happy for a long time, and then she will rummage into her small room like ants moving, but it didn't take long. , and sent it back with a depressed face!

Without him, I can't sleep on the baby every day. I want to hide it, but I can't find a good place. During that time, Xiaojing wandered around the Hou's mansion all day long, looking for the hidden treasure. The location, but it turned out to be depressing to find that the safest, safest, and most reliable place... the treasure house of the Hou Mansion!

"No! ~Open the door!"
