I do research in ancient times

"But……"

Brother Feng swallowed.

"The only ones who know about the existence of Mo Dao are our family..."

He thought deeply and fearfully, looking at his elder brother with horror in his eyes.

"Brother, what do you mean to say, there are secret operations in our house?"

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xiaodi Feng's mind, and familiar faces jumped in front of his eyes.

Who is it?

Who betrayed the Feng family?

Who would have such a great ability to ensure that the first emperor would die at the beginning of May! ?

Seeing the frightened look of his younger brother, Feng Kai pressed his forehead and suddenly felt a little headache.

"You don't have to be suspicious."

"I just remind you that the current situation is much more sensitive than before. We must use our brains and be less impulsive. There are not many opportunities left for us."

Seeing that his younger brother was still in a daze, he sighed softly, and secretly scolded his father for cheating, and even left the matter of teaching Twelve Lang to his son.

But this kid in front of him is his biological brother after all, and he is about to reach the age of adulthood. If he keeps being so stupid and stupid, he may bring disaster to his family in the future.

Thinking of this, Young Master Feng took out a sheepskin map and began to analyze the current situation with his younger brother in detail.

"This is the route that Hu Qi buckles this time. The reason why it is too coincidental is that one of the eighteen Hu Qi tribes deliberately avoided Yongxi Pass from the beginning."

"what!?"

Xiaodi Feng was at the edge of the map, following the elder brother's fingers to look all the way, his mind couldn't keep up with the speed of elder brother's speech for a while.

Do you want to avoid it?Could it be that their family's black armor army is too powerful, and Hu Qi is walking around Yongxi Pass?

Just listen to Feng Kai continue talking.

"Hu Qi went south and headed straight to Xinzhou in the northwest, which was completely different from the usual route. They bypassed all the passes in Yanling, ran an arc, and then defended Xinzhou, which is strong and strong,"

"Defending Xie Yulang is a direct descendant of the Xie family. He has been in charge of the army for many years. In mid-April, his father passed away. Xie Yulang returned home to observe filial piety for three months. But at this time, he was attacked by Hu Qi at night."

"That's all right. The main general is not here, and the deputy general can defend the city until Xie Yulang returns. Unexpectedly, the deputy general Zhang Wenbin suddenly contracted a serious illness before the battle, and soon fell unconscious. Xinzhou City also fell because the dragons had no leader. "

"Huqi occupied Xinzhou. He could have taken Yingyuan City directly from Xinzhou, and then seized Fangzhou, an important town in the northwest. Fangzhou is the most prosperous place on the west line. Xinzhou and Yingyuan are its barriers. Losing the two cities is equivalent to opening the door. , is already in the palm of Hu Qi."

"However, the strange thing is that Hu Qi did not go south at this point. Instead, he turned back and went to Tonghui by detour. From Fangzhou to Tonghui, he had to cross the waterway. Hu people are good at cavalry but not good at water. Getting Tonghui is far less profitable than Fangzhou. big."

"Bangzhou is the territory of the Yu family, and Tonghui is the starting point of the northwest waterway. If Hu Qi gets a big ship, it is not impossible to go east from the waterway. The aristocratic families along the waterway will be in trouble."

Having said that, Feng Kai paused for a moment, and then spoke the final conclusion.

"Our Feng family and Yongxiguan have never been the focus of battle. It's just that the people behind this have a lot of plans. Dealing with barbarians is tantamount to conspiring with tigers. If you are not careful, the whole thing will be overthrown. At that time, the Central Plains may be destroyed. Get into a melee!"

Brother Feng held his breath.

After a long time, he carefully let out a breath.

"Brother... Isn't that why there are still wars? Many people will die?"

Feng Kai nodded.

"I'm afraid it will happen."

"From ancient times to the present, in all dynasties, whenever there is an army, it is the common people who suffer."

"The current ability of the Feng family is limited, and they don't have enough food, grass and weapons. What they can do now is to protect the peace of one side."

Feng Kai didn't say what happened next, but Xiaodi Feng lowered his head and pondered, as if he had realized something.

"elder brother……"

He raised his head and spoke with a little difficulty.

"Since you lack weapons, you and Dad... have you never considered recruiting the Mozong outside the pass?"

He respected brother Fei, but he also knew his own situation.To be honest, regardless of personal feelings and relationships, Mo Zong's knives and swords are far superior to Xue's Longquan Jianfang. If this is placed in the Central Plains, it must be a piece of fat that everyone wants to swallow.

He didn't believe that father and elder brother hadn't been moved!

"Of course I thought about it."

Feng Kai didn't intend to hide anything, so he nodded openly.

"Not only have I thought about it, we have always planned to incorporate it before."

"but now,"

The man paused, his voice almost cruelly calm.

"The situation is different now. Ning Fei's talent is rare in the world, and he has firmly grasped Mo Zong."

"I don't think this person's achievements may be inferior to those of the great virtuous saint. If Yue Wanfeng is alive, do you think it is possible for Mozong disciples to commit themselves to being inferior to others?"

"Don't mention the matter of incorporation again, otherwise it will be the result of burning all jade and stone."

It turned out to be the case.

Hearing what he said, Brother Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

He didn't have any thoughts about Brother Xiao Fei, he just discussed the matter as it stands, in this troubled world, everything must rely on strength to speak.

It is an indisputable fact that Mo Zong is good at skills but has no combat power.

Based on his understanding of the eldest brother, it is not like Feng Kai's style to put a piece of fat and not touch it.

It turned out that the eldest brother had thought through it early in the morning, and cooperated with Mo Zong instead of being incorporated, so that the best results could be obtained.

Think about it and it is true.Since cooperating with Mozong, their family has also undergone some obvious changes.Needless to say, small things like cleaning supplies, the cement house in Balipo, the Hengdao and Modao that are about to be handed over, these were all sent to the Feng family by Xiao Fei.

Burn together?Chicken and egg fight?

No no no, there is no need for this.

It doesn't matter that Feng Kang is naive, he just likes to make friends like this, who can help each other and work together to gain benefits.

Such a lively person is much more interesting than those submissive craftsmen at home!

"Then big brother..."

Brother Feng scratched his head.

"Then you asked me to go to Xue San to buy a knife because you wanted to fish in troubled waters?"

Feng Kai glanced at his younger brother.

What is fishing in troubled waters?He just made some cover-ups according to Feidi's wishes.

Brother Fei didn't want Mo Zong to be exposed now, and neither did he, Feng Kai.

Where can others covet the treasures that are trapped by oneself? !

What's more, Xue Yixiao sent it to the door by himself, so if he didn't push the water to make the water more muddy, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the people who came from afar?

"Just know it yourself, don't spread it out at will."

Feng Kai told his younger brother.

"The Xue family is concerned about Mo Zong. We don't know the reason for it, but we must not let others find out that Mo Zong is forging knives and swords."

"These samples of knives are all marked with the Xue family's emblem, and we have to help cover it up. Xue Yixiao took the initiative to sell knives in Ding'an City, and no one except our two families knows how much they sold. Wait a while At that time, all the frontier troops will change their outfits, and even if the Central Plains finds out, they will only think it is a dispute between the two sides, and will not think of Mozong outside the pass."

Feng Kang nodded, responded repeatedly, and went to work without mentioning it.

Now that the Xue family knife is in hand, it really cost a lot of money, which caused little brother Feng's heartache for a while.

He he he! He is not stingy!But since seeing Mo Zong's horizontal saber, he now feels more and more that these are worthless junk!

It is said that at the Mo Dao formation that day, there was not a single broken knife left from the Xue family, and all of them were chopped off by the sloppy soldiers guarding the city gate.Those cowards who can't smear the mud on the wall can actually do it bravely? !

Thinking about it, Brother Feng felt his heart itch, and couldn't help but want to turn the corner and go to Zhuque Street to see if Brother Xiaofei was still in the shop.

All the broken knives of Xue's family were handed over to Badou La back to the mansion to be counted by the second uncle. Anyway, they were not valuable things, so I didn't feel bad if they lost them.

Recently approaching the end of the new year, Suzaku Street became more and more lively, Xiaodi Feng moved along with the bustling crowd, and finally came to Ningcun Workshop at the end of Suzaku Street.

Since the opening of the washing gift box trading, Ningcun Workshop has become the busiest place on Zhuque Street, with a constant flow of people from morning to night every day. Even if the shop is not open, there are merchants from south to north doing private transactions at the door.

Commonly known as scalper market.

Today's store is open, and it is said that the goods from the West Sea have arrived, and a new batch of gift boxes will be released today, and the limited edition twisted flower soap will only be sold at the end of winter.

As soon as I heard that it was a limited edition, people came to line up in the middle of the night yesterday.

Not all of them were servants of merchants and aristocratic families. The few standing at the front all wore hay rings, which meant that their positions could be sold.

When Xiaodi Feng arrived, the caravan of the "Xihai Merchants" had just entered the backyard.The work in the store was quick and quick, and they quickly placed the goods shipped this time on the shelves in the store, and then waited for Aunt Mei's order, and then opened the door to let people go.

"Okay."

The lady of the barbarian family nodded, wearing a cotton skirt and gown, she looked very rich.

It is said that it was brought by her daughter in Xihai entrusted by the caravan. It is a unique material of Xihai country, which is soft and warm.

It's really warm.

Now that the twelfth lunar month is approaching, the cold wind howls and heavy snow falls in Ding'an City.Merchants on Zhuque Avenue watched Aunt Mei walking in and out of the store wearing only a skirt and gown, full of energy, and were amazed at the cotton gown's ability to keep out the cold.

It's not that no one has heard about this kind of clothes, it's just that Mrs. Mei said that it is a rare item from the West Sea, and it won't be shipped to the store for sale yet.

But Huatou didn't say it dead, the main thing was to pave the way for the opening of the cloth workshop in the future, and a wave of advertisements were scattered along the way.

Seeing Mrs. Mei nodding, the clerk immediately removed the door panel of the shop, and shouted in a drawn out voice:

"The door is open—"

Before he finished speaking the last syllable, he quickly jumped to the side, perfectly avoiding the risk of being swept into the store by the surging crowd.

On the contrary, merchants and stewards in all kinds of costumes moved fiercely, no matter what was on the shelves, they pointed directly at the shop assistants.

"This! This, and this, I want it all!"

Brother Feng was caught off guard and was also coerced into the shop.With great difficulty, he pulled the rafters and stood up straight, feeling a little dazed.

Brother Xiaofei...is their family's business so good? !Do you want to grab everything you buy?

He wanted to leave the front shop and go to the backyard, but the rush of people couldn't be resisted at all. Even if Xiaodi Feng was good at it, it was still difficult to squeeze out.

"Oh? Isn't this Twelve Young Masters? Why don't you line up?!"

I don't know who recognized his identity, and directly called out his name in the crowd.

In the next moment, Xiaodi Feng felt countless eyes focused on him from all directions, white and white, full of blame and anger.

But no one spoke.

The Feng family is the owner of Ding'an City, this is something everyone in the city knows, who would feel uncomfortable with the Feng family?

There were even flattering ones, who graciously gave up their position to the Twelve Young Masters, and received all the eyes of the crowd.

Brother Feng felt very embarrassed.

He really didn't come to buy things, he just wanted to see if his little brother Fei was there.

In this way, it seems that he is using the name of the Feng family to bully others. If his brother knows, he will definitely teach him again.

"No... I'm not here to buy things..."

Xiaodi Feng explained, looking around the shop.

Coincidentally, he saw Clay.This barbarian kid who always pulls his face is lying on the counter. He was the one who gave Xiao Jinjin to the mansion last time, that's right!

"Cray! Clay!"

Clay wanted to pretend he couldn't see it, but Xiao Feng's voice was so loud that everyone looked at him, so he couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore.

"Master Feng."

The child reluctantly greeted him, and led him from the counter into the backyard under Xiaodi Feng's grateful eyes.

"Is Brother Xiao Fei still in the city?"

As soon as he got out of the crowd, Feng Xiaodi asked anxiously.

Clay shook his head.

"Brother Jizi has returned to Wubao. He said that it is only a few days before Lichun, and he has to go back and prepare."

"Before the beginning of spring, all of us have to go back, and the store will be temporarily closed for a few days."

"Oh?!"

Brother Feng scratched his head.

Today, Lichun is on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is less than [-] days away, and it is indeed coming soon.

But Lichun has nothing to prepare for, and it's not New Year's Eve, and all the staff will go back to the city...

His brother Fei's habit is so strange!
