Bandits raising buns

The Viewing Tower is located in the south of Youzhou City. It was built in the early years of the Southern Qi Dynasty. It has been hundreds of years now and has a long history.This building is about ten feet high, and it is the highest place in the entire Youzhou City. Standing on the top of the building, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Youzhou City at a glance, and it is a good place for sightseeing.

Zhao Chuang and Li Ci walked downstairs to the observation deck, looked up, and saw three words engraved on the wooden plaque.Zhao Chuang naturally didn't know.

With his hands behind his back, Li Ci squinted at the plaque and said, "The three words 'Viewing Tower' were inscribed by Emperor Qinglong himself. This viewing tower was actually built by Emperor Qinglong. , there is still a story..."

"I don't want to hear it." Zhao Chuang interrupted him with a cold face.

Li Ci smiled and said nothing.

The two came to the top floor of the observation building.

Looking from top to bottom, the bustling streets are full of people, the boats on the lake are dotted on the blue lake, and the forest in the distance is like a green ocean. Everything is vividly presented in the eyes, so clear , so full of life.This was the first time Zhao Chuang saw such a scene, and it was also the first time he knew what the Chuang Wang of Tan Yun Sanzhou meant and what he had.

In the past, to him, being the emperor of the three states of Tan Yun meant a kind of status, and in this land, he was supreme.But now, looking at these scenes, Zhao Chuang suddenly felt excited. He wanted to guard this land.

"The scenery is beautiful and the people live in peace, isn't it like a beautiful picture scroll?" Li Ci asked, leaning on the fence.

It is indeed like a painting.Zhao Chuang thought in his heart, but said: "No."

Li Ci looked at Zhao Chuang standing a few feet away from him, curled up in a ball, but his eyes were fixed on the scenery under his feet, and the emotion in his eyes could not be concealed.Seeing his awkward appearance, Li Ci really wanted to pat his head.But he held back, there was a long river between them, those intimate actions would only make him reject himself even more.

"It's just a pity that this scroll is in danger now." Li Ci sighed.

Zhao Chuang pricked up his ears, waiting for Li Ci to speak later, but he didn't hear him speak, and endured it for a long time before turning his head to look at him.Li Cizheng squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, as if he had fallen into a state of confinement.

Li Ci looked over suddenly, Zhao Chuang quickly looked away, looked forward, and coughed uncomfortably.

"Tan Yun Sanzhou, this location is too good. If it is a peaceful era, it will be a land of prosperity, but if there is a war, it will become a battleground for military strategists. With the smoke of wolves, this place will become a hell on earth. Now, Tan Yunsan To the south of the prefecture is the Southern Qi, to the north is the land of Li Yin, and to the east, across the stretch of mountains, is the territory of Song Shu. Song Shu, who is also an emperor of the land, has only two cities in his hands, but he knows how to judge the situation and get it. Survive in this chaotic world. And the west, across the thousands of miles of desert, is the land of the northern barbarians. Since ancient times, the southern dynasties have suffered from the northern barbarians. The northern barbarians are not my race. In their eyes, Human lives in the Southern Dynasties are not fate at all. In the past few years, Tan Yun's three states have been able to be peaceful because of the momentum of their strength, and no one dared to act rashly. But it is different now..."

Zhao Chuang's mind is very simple. He didn't think about it that much at first, but now that Li Ci talked about it, he realized that there are so many forces implied in it, and Tan Yun Sanzhou, in the eyes of these people, is like a big piece of fat. Meat.Everyone wants to grab it, but no one is the first one.When the King of Qin attacked the city at the beginning, he probably intended to test it.

"Why is it different?" Zhao Chuang asked subconsciously.

"Because the Southern Qi is now attacking the King of Qin. The Southern Qi's army is only 50, and there are 30 who attacked Li Yin, and the Southern Qi's General Zhenyuan. Of the remaining 20, [-]% will guard the border and [-]% will guard the capital. , I have no time to take care of Tan Yun Sanzhou. Therefore, Beiman must be ready to make a move, and even Song Shu will want to share a piece of the pie." Li Ci said.

Zhao Chuang's head was in a mess. He didn't know that the situation was so tense.

"The Northern Man emperor is young and weak, but he has two powerful ministers. The Southern King and the Northern King. The Southern King is the emperor's uncle. He is tall, brave, unparalleled in resourcefulness, and holds a heavy army. The Northern King is from the emperor's mother family and has great power. These two people have always been at odds, and the situation is like fire and water. King Nanda is very ambitious and advocates southern invasion and annexation of Southern Qi. He will not let go of such an opportunity." Li Ci said.

Looking at the large desert, Zhao Chuang seemed to see the scene of cavalry galloping from the desert in his eyes. He was terrified and his face was very ugly.His thoughts were in a mess, and when Li Ci approached him, he didn't back away, but looked at him blankly.

"so what should I do now?"

"Training soldiers and horses, rectifying the style of the army, the northern barbarians crossing this desert, should be a tired army. Tan Yun's generals form a line of defense to guard against the enemy, and there is a [-]% certainty that they will be able to defend the three states of Tan Yun." Li Ci said.

Zhao Chuang thought that a year ago, Zhuge Long proposed to organize the bandits into an army and conduct training. Zhao Chuang trusted Zhuge Long and listened to him no matter the reason.It turned out that Zhuge Long had already seen the situation.

"What's the other [-]%?"

"Nan Dawang Shi Tianlang is a very strange person. He has great ambitions, but he has never married a wife. He has an adopted son, which he picked up from the desert. Now he is called the 'little wolf king'. People behave strangely... I just said that Tan Yun Sanzhou and Beiman are separated by thousands of miles of desert. Good protection, the rest can only be discussed later."

Zhao Chuang was in a hurry when he came, but he was in a hurry when he went back.When they came, they walked, and when they went back, they took a carriage.Sitting in the car, Zhao Chuang closed his eyes and rested his mind. He felt a strong sense of crisis. He thought that from today on, he must practice martial arts well and stop being half-hearted.

Halfway through the journey, the carriage stopped suddenly. Zhao Chuang was lost in thought, but before he could react for a moment, his body flew forward.Li Ci quickly hugged his waist, and Zhao Chuang was hugged tightly by him.

Zhao Chuang came back to his senses, and broke away from Li Ci's hand, then lifted the curtain of the car, jumped out of the car, and shouted, "What's going on? The sudden stop of the carriage is frightening to death!"

The driver tremblingly said: "Just now a lunatic blocked the way."

"Where is the madman?" Zhao Chuang glared at him.The street is obviously empty!

The man stretched out his trembling hand and pointed to the corner.

Zhao Chuang turned his head to look, and he saw a piece of darkness first, from this angle, he could only see a figure from the back, that person was huddled in a corner, it was pitch black, but Zhao Chuang felt very familiar.Zhao Chuang walked up to the man cautiously and patted the man on the back lightly.The man turned his head and gave him a look.His face was also pitch black and covered with ashes.Zhao Chuang was stunned.

In Zhao Chuang's memory, he has always been very clean.Wearing a clean cassock, it seems that there is no dust on his body.His eyes have always been cold, as if he has all sentient beings in his heart, but also seems to isolate everything, that kind of complicated eyes.But now, in the same pair of eyes, there is only confusion inside, but they are very clean and free from dust.

Zhao Chuang wanted to call 'Master', but felt something stuck in his throat, and wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a word.

The man suddenly smiled, innocently.Zhao Chuang had never seen him smile like this before.

"Hungry." He touched his stomach and said, with a childish expression on his face.

Zhao Chuang took a deep breath and asked, "Want to eat?"

The man's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded quickly.

"I'll take you to eat." Zhao Chuang said.

The man smiled, Zhao Chuang took his hand and led him to the carriage.He was very clingy to Zhao Chuang. When he saw Li Ci on the carriage, he was startled and quickly shrank towards Zhao Chuang.

Zhao Chuang held him in his arms, and he calmed down.

"Don't be afraid, he won't harm you." Zhao Chuang said.

Wuyu looked at Li Ci suspiciously, as if he was sure that he was harmless, then he retreated from Zhao Chuang's arms and sat obediently in a corner.

Zhao Chuang looked at the smudge on his face, which was very unpleasant.Li Ci took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Chuang.Zhao Chuang took it and wiped away the stains on Wuyu's face bit by bit.

familiar face.

If you look closely, Wuyu's appearance is somewhat similar to Zhao Chuang's, with similar eyebrows and eyes.Wuyu has always looked like a monk, and he always has a cold expression on his face, so it is difficult to connect the two of them.

Zhao Chuang took the monk Wuyu back to Chuangwang's mansion.Zhao Chuang hated him, hated that he was born but not raised, hated his partiality, but he couldn't ignore him now that he had become like this.

Along the way, Zhao Chuang has been a little preoccupied.Wuyu sits beside him, looks at him secretly, and rubs against him secretly.

It's just that going back this time, the whole Chuangwang Mansion seems to have changed.The first to fifth concubines of Chuangwang's Mansion, together with Zhuge Long and Zhao Rui, were all standing in the hall, waiting for him.

Zhao Chuang glanced at it and knew something was wrong, so he summoned his servants, and then said to Wuyu who was holding his hand tightly: "You follow him, take a bath first, and after taking a bath, I will take you there. Is it okay to eat?"

Wuyu kept shaking his head.

"I'll take him there." Li Ci said.

Wuyu wanted to shake his head, but Zhao Chuang gave him a glare.Wuyu glanced at the strange servant, then at Li Ci, finally chose Li Ci, reluctantly followed Li Ci, walked to the backyard, turned around every step of the way, looked at Zhao Chuang is not standing there.

Zhao Chuang walked into the hall, first glanced at Zhao Rui, the little guy was standing with his arms folded, looking like he was watching a show, and then looked at Zhuge Long...Zhuge Long also looked like he was watching a show...

Zhao Chuang finally looked at his fifth concubine.

The five people looked at each other, and finally Zhao Yan, the first concubine, came out.Zhao Yan kowtowed three times to Zhao Chuang, and said sincerely: "The three nods just now are to thank King Chuang for taking care of my family for so many years, and my family has served you for so many years, please forgive me for some insincerity. At first, I wanted to...want to serve you all the time, but I, my former sweetheart, I always thought he was dead, and now, he came back to look for me...so I want to leave the palace..." Zhao Yan paused and continued Said, "The fate of the slave family is yours. If you want the life of the slave family, the slave family is also willing..."

Her meaning was obvious, leave or die.In fact, Zhao Chuang already knew that they had no feelings for him.If it was before, Zhao Chuang would have been furious if he knew that he had been cuckolded.But now, Tan Yun Sanzhou's safety is on his head. At this moment, Zhao Chuang suddenly feels that the love between children is not so important.If she really wants to leave, why not let her go, after all, she has been by her side for so many years... But my heart is still a little empty...

"Okay, let's go, Zhuge Long, give her some silver taels." Zhao Chuang said a little tiredly.

Zhuge Long showed a surprised expression, Zhao Rui couldn't help but look at his father a few more times, and Zhao Yan first showed an expression of disbelief, she felt that with Zhao Chuang's temperament, he would not let go easily, she She was also ready to die, and a surprise came from the sky at this time. With an excited expression on her face, she kowtowed three more times to Zhao Chuang, and said sincerely: "My family thanked King Chuang! King Chuang's kindness , I will always remember it in my heart! I will set up a longevity memorial archway for you and worship it every day!"

Zhao Chuang's eyes fell on the other four people and asked, "You want to leave too?"

Those four people hurriedly walked up to Zhao Chuang, knelt down and said, "King Chuang please agree!"

Zhao Chuang's eyes fell on the four of them, but he didn't speak.Silence enveloped the hall.Seeing that Zhao Chuang let Zhao Yan out of the house, the four had hope. They thought Zhao Chuang would agree to them soon.Zhao Chuang's silence terrified them uncontrollably.

Song, the concubine of the fifth house, raised her head. It has been more than a year, and she is still the same as before, with a hard and unwilling look on her face: "Zhao Chuang, it is unreasonable to rob a civilian girl by force! You don't want to let go!" us?"

Miss Song was snatched back by Zhao Chuang and thrown in the backyard, Zhao Chuang ignored her.At this moment, after hearing her words, he said, "What if I don't let go?"

Song's face blushed immediately, and she racked her brains to come up with a few words: "You are shameless, you are obscene!"

Zhao Chuang lifted her chin and said with a smile, "So what?"

"You...you will be punished by God!"

"and then?"

"You...you are shameless!"

"Daddy, don't tease her!" Zhao Rui couldn't help but said.

Zhao Chuang breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on his chair, and said, "You all go, go to Mr. Zhuge to get the silver. After leaving the palace, everything depends on yourself. Don't starve yourself to death!"

Miss Song suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Chuang in surprise.Zhao Chuang glared at her, and Miss Song quickly lowered her head.

"Don't go yet, be careful that I have changed my mind."

As soon as Zhao Chuang said that, the five people quickly picked up the package and walked out.Those five people disappeared in an instant!It's really fast.Zhao Chuang sighed, not too sad, but there was still some loss.

Zhuge Long, military advisor, Zhao Rui's teacher, and concurrently serving as the housekeeper of the palace, also went to handle the housekeeper's affairs. Only father and son Zhao Chuang and Zhao Rui were left in the hall.

Zhao Chuang touched his face, raised his head slightly to look at the sky and said, "Why doesn't anyone appreciate my handsomeness?"

Zhao Rui propped his chin and said, "Li Ci appreciates it."

Zhao Chuang: "..."

Zhao Chuang rushed over and crushed Zhao Rui's face into a small meat ball in an instant.

Zhao Rui looked at him expressionlessly, and waited for him to finish rubbing before saying, "Daddy, what's wrong with you? Your brows can pinch mosquitoes to death."

"I realized something." Zhao Chuang said inscrutablely.

"Finally grown up." Zhao Rui was very pleased.

"...I am your father!" Zhao Chuang stretched out his hand again, and continued to rub the little guy's face.

After Zhao Chuang settled the matter here, he went to the backyard.Li Ci stood outside the guest room, the door of the guest room was closed tightly, and there was a faint sound of water coming from inside.

"He bathes inside." Li Ci said.

Zhao Chuang stared at the closed door in a daze.

"It looks ruthless, but it is actually deep; it looks like it has no thoughts, but it is serious. He strongly suppressed his own thoughts, and finally the demons won the heart, and became obsessed, and he became like this. The tendons and veins are disordered, and the martial arts are completely crippled. My mind is not clear, and my mind is like a three-year-old child." Li Ci said.

Zhao Chuang was stunned for a moment.The Wuyu monk who used to be cold and refined, with great martial arts skills, has now become a foolish child.I just don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for him?

There was a 'plop' sound from inside.Zhao Chuang hurriedly opened the door and rushed in. He saw a pair of feet hanging out of the bathtub, and his body and head fell into the bathtub. He struggled hard, and those two feet kept moving. shaking.Zhao Chuang walked over, took his hand, and pulled him out.

Wuyu was obviously frightened, looked around in a daze, and then threw himself into Zhao Chuang's arms.Wu Yu was not wearing anything, and then Zhao Chuang saw the bruises on his fair skin.

"Someone beat him." Li Ci said.

Stupid and silly, it's normal to get beaten along the way.But he is a desireless monk.Zhao Chuang's eyes darkened, and his heart was suddenly depressed.

Li Ci took a robe and asked him to put it on.

After Wuyu put on his outer robe, he still curled up in Zhao Chuang's arms, looking at him secretly.Seeing Zhao Chuang's serious face, he was suddenly a little scared, lowered his head and said, "I...will not do it next time."

Zhao Chuang took him to eat. He was very hungry, and all the meat and vegetables on the table were swept away. After eating, he still looked like he was not full, and looked at Zhao Chuang eagerly.

"He's very hungry and can't eat too much," Li Ci said.

Zhao Chuang said, "Let's eat at night."

Wuyu glared at Li Ci angrily, and then at Zhao Chuang with grievance.

Wuyu now only has the mind of a three-year-old child. He seems to be extremely dependent on Zhao Chuang, and he can't wait to be with him all the time.It's okay to keep pace during the day, but at night, I started arguing with Zhao Rui.Zhao Rui wanted to sleep with Zhao Chuang, and Wuyu wanted to follow him.One big and one small, big eyes and small eyes.Zhao Rui thought firmly, this strange monk has occupied his father for a day, and he must not give it up to him at night!Wuyu suddenly flattened his mouth and looked at Zhao Rui pitifully.

Zhao Rui: "..."

In the end, the three of them lay on the same bed. Fortunately, Zhao Chuang's bed was big enough, with one on the left and one on the right, so it didn't look crowded.

In the following days, the three states of Tan Yun fell into a raging situation.Zhao Chuang finally found the inner strength method that suits him and started to practice.Wuyu was able to read and read to Zhao Chuang one by one. Zhao Chuang started to practice after listening to it, and Wuyu also practiced with him.

The bandits followed the rules established by Zhuge Long before, a total of 4 people were divided into three types of soldiers, [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and the remaining [-] practiced shield protection.

Li Ci was in charge of cavalry training, Zhuge Long was in charge of guard training, and the second child and Wei Zhenxing were in charge of infantry training.Both of them were strong men with strong backs and waists, but Tie Er Er still looked petite in front of Wei Zhenxing.These two strong men, after cooperating on the battlefield, they quickly became confidantes and had the meaning of sympathy for each other.

Zhao Chuang used to hear that the second child was talking about Wei Zhenyuan, but these days it suddenly turned into Wei Zhenxing. Seeing the second child happily boasting about Wei Zhenxing, Wei Zhenxing smiled shyly beside him When he was young, Zhao Chuang was suddenly a little afraid that the second child would become a confidante and make his brothers fight against the wall.But thinking about how Wei Zhenyuan treated his second child, Zhao Chuang felt a little relieved.

Everything is moving in a good direction, Zhao Chuang thought gleefully, in a few months, Tan Yun Sanzhou will become a fortress of iron and steel.

However, Zhao Chuang did not expect that the accident would happen so quickly.
