The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

Zhang Meng guessed in his mind, could it be that the master also saw that the court was unreliable and decided to take a risk and seek refuge with King Dingbei?Or maybe the master asked Jiu Shao to act in secret, and regarded King Dingbei as a way out. If one day the imperial court attacked the Wan family, the Wan family would not be in trouble.He knew that on the surface, the Wan family looked rich and incomparably beautiful, and was also very popular with the queen mother. However, it was the huge wealth that made the Wan family feel like they were walking on the edge of a knife. If they were not careful, they would be ruined.

Water can carry a boat or overturn it, but the Wan family has no choice but to go down this road, and has to cater to the thoughts of those in power, because, if you take a step back, there will be a bottomless abyss behind you, and there will be no bones left when you fall down .Over the years, the Wan family has dispersed some unremarkable properties and turned the light into the dark, so that if something happens in the future, future generations will have a place of refuge.

Thinking in this way, Zhang Meng talked about the situation of the Dingbei Palace: "Dingbei King has four sons, among which the eldest son and the fourth son are the legitimate sons, the eldest son is brave and good at fighting, and has defeated the barbarian invasion many times. The position of the crown prince will not be shaken. It is said that the crown prince is in harmony with the soldiers in the army. He is arrogant and indulgent. He is a fierce and fierce person, in my opinion, these words are not worth mentioning, this prince is very strict in running the army, and he has always killed only barbarians, if we don’t kill them, why should we welcome them in?”

Speaking of this, Zhang Meng's eyes flashed with hostility. He is a warrior, and he respects the father and son of the Dingbei King and the Dingbei Army who charged and killed the enemy to protect the people, especially the people who often travel to and from the Northland and have contact with the local people. The common people know how miserable the place that was ravaged by those barbarians is. The closer the people get to the border, the more they hate the barbarians, and the more they support King Dingbei.

"As for the fourth young master, I seldom hear rumors about him. I only know that he was born with a weak body and often lives in the backyard of the palace. Not to mention compared with the son, even the two brothers are far behind, but the palace Everyone loves this weak fourth son very much, especially the prince of the royal family, I heard that in the early years, because of the lack of care of the servants, he beat and killed a group of people, and because of this, he gained a reputation for tyranny."

"The remaining two concubine sons of the palace don't have any famous reputation, and they don't have any bad reputation. The second son is a martial artist, and he always looks up to the elder son. The third son is from Wen. It is said that he is a very gentle and respectful son. of."

Wan Qiushi chuckled when he heard Zhang Meng's comments, seeing is better than seeing, if it wasn't for the trip to the capital of the fourth young master, he would not have seen the sharpness of the fourth young master hidden under his weak body. It's just that in his previous life, he seemed to have exhausted the last brilliance of his life in the capital. After successfully intercepting a batch of food from the imperial court and leaving the capital, it didn't take long for him to hear that his condition had worsened.

He still remembered that when the news of the Fourth Young Master Xiao's death came, King Chen took him to celebrate. At that time, although he was a little bit sorry for Young Master Xiao's talent and his early death, but because of the opposing positions, he quickly put him to death. Ignore the past, but then he ushered in the same fate as the fourth son of Xiao, the Wan family ushered in the disaster of extermination, because he, King Chen, needed money, a large amount of money, only the Wan family could meet his needs need.

"Jiu Shao, is there something wrong with what I said?" Zhang Meng wondered.

"There is right and there is wrong," Wan Qiushi smiled lightly, but revealed an indescribable desolation, "The son of Prince Dingbei is indeed a brave and skilled fighter, but he is not the most outstanding among the four sons of Prince Dingbei. It is the unknown fourth son. Although he is in the backyard, many government orders in the Dingbei palace are from him. In addition, the third son of the palace does not really support the prince, but has long harbored evil intentions and wants to replace him. This time, it was the Third Young Master who colluded with King Chen and wanted to attack the Fourth Young Master."

"How is this possible?!" Zhang Meng was startled, and quickly figured out something, "Could it be that Jiu Shao heard something from Chen Wang?" Only in this way can he explain what Jiu Shao said before. In people's eyes, even if the second son betrayed the prince, it would not be the case of the weak third son who never took military power. After all, for Dingbei Palace and Dingbei Army, military power is the real constraint.

Wan Qiushi smiled and didn't explain, Zhang Meng thought he had guessed right, he couldn't help but gasped, a chill came out of his body, an enemy like the third young master Xiao is the most terrifying, he deceived everyone And he was able to hook up with Chen Wang, who was in the court quietly, and cooperated with Chen Wang inside and outside, and set up a net to wait for the fourth young master Xiao to get inside.

If something happens to the Fourth Young Master, based on the love he knows about the Fourth Young Master Xiao, it is conceivable that the news will be a big blow to the Fourth Young Master Xiao. The goal.

Similarly, that King Chen is also a ruthless character. He doesn't know how big a conspiracy these two people have laid out. However, the pattern of the north and the south will be broken by this conspiracy. The world will be in turmoil again. This is not a good idea. information.

Zhang Meng also realized how much risk Jiu Shao was taking on this trip. Once Chen Wang found out about it, the entire Wan Family would be overthrown in an instant.

Zhang Meng was talking about the Dingbei Palace and the four princes, while Xu Bei sat on the bullock cart with a weed in his mouth shaking his legs, and heard people talking about the same thing.

Leaving Kang County, before the fluctuation of grain prices was obvious, he quickly bought four to five hundred catties of grain, put it in the space when people were unprepared, and then hired a driver who was familiar with the area to help him on the journey.

The coachman looked about 40 or [-] years old. He had been on the battlefield and was blinded by a barbarian in one eye, so he had to retreat from the side gate.In the carriage dealership, Xu Bei picked this thin, middle-aged man at a glance, because he had the traits that Xu Bei was familiar with, and he had a similar aura to the veteran brothers in his previous life.

"Little brother has good eyesight. I can tell at a glance that I, Lao Qiu, went to the battlefield and killed barbarians, haha," the thin old Qiu laughed very loudly, and Lao Qiu shook his head triumphantly. One eye was blinded by the barbarian soldiers, they thought I was bragging, no one believed it was true, I should really ask them to listen, some people know me very well, wow, although I, Lao Qiu, did not I lost one eye, but I smashed the head of that barbarian soldier who was twice as strong as me."

"Lao Qiu is really powerful. You should know that when I went in, I could tell that Lao Qiu had a sense of righteousness at a glance. I thought, this man must have been on the battlefield, and he is full of evil." Xu Bei boasted shamelessly.

"Haha..." Lao Qiu's laughter spread far away, "That is, we have a sworn feud with the barbarian soldiers. If we don't kill them, who will we kill? I, Lao Qiu, killed our gang of brothers back then." The barbarians have the most soldiers, don't think my Lao Qiu is not as strong as them, but when I was young, I, Lao Qiu, still picked up a 200-jin big knife to kill the barbarians..." While talking, he gestured and almost drove the cart to the side ditch.

"... That time was really dangerous. If it wasn't for the prince, he would have seen through the tricks of those crazy barbarian soldiers. Even the prince would have been tricked by them. Hehe, fortunately, the prince is as wise and powerful as the prince. Come here and kill those barbarian soldiers to the point of crying and calling their fathers and mothers, Shizi was only 15 years old at the time, a real young hero, I, Lao Qiu, was praised by Shizi at that time, haha..." Lao Qiu said proudly.

"Master Shizi led troops to the battlefield so early?" Xu Bei was also considered a half-military enthusiast. Who let him have such a group of brothers around him, and he felt excited when he heard Lao Qiu talk about those wars.

"That's right, I went to the border gate when I was eleven or twelve years old. I was born tall and mighty. If I didn't know, no one would believe that I went to battle at such a young age. But, hehe, although That time, my son saw through the enemy's tricks, but afterwards, my son missed a word, saying that fortunately, my fourth brother helped to break through the enemy's situation. Everyone around me knows that the son of the world loves the fourth son the most." Lao Qiu, who was happy to talk, quickly covered his mouth and corrected.

"Fourth young master? Didn't you say that fourth young master is not in good health?" Xu Bei didn't take it to heart either. In his opinion, these sons and fathers are too far away from him. Fortunately, there is still some distance from the border here, so they don't often Autumn Valley was beaten by barbarians outside the pass.

Lao Qiu still had good eyesight, and he could see that Xu Bei didn't pay attention to this matter, so he followed Chakai and said, "That's right, because the fourth son is not in good health, so the son of the world will search for information about the genius doctor whenever he is free. News, I hope that one day the four sons can recover. The son of the world is the most affectionate and righteous, and his military achievements are real. He never falsifies, but he is much better than the general sent by the imperial court. It's endless, but the upper border gate is going to kill the barbarians."

"Chief soldier? Could it be that the horse chief soldier?" Xu Bei pulled out the grass in his mouth and leaned out to ask.

"It's not that person, who doesn't know that he is fighting for the military power with the prince, who doesn't know that if it is not the Dingbei Army, the Guan here has been trampled by those closed barbarian soldiers, how can we ordinary people live in peace, but some people are just wolves. ..." Lao Qiu complained angrily, scolding Ma Zongbing bloody, and Xu Bei echoed him from time to time.

Why pay special attention to Zongbing Ma, because the news that came to him during this period told him that the death of Xu Xingda and his wife had a lot to do with this soldier. Of course, this does not mean that Zongbing Ma himself did the killing Yes, but it must be someone close to him who is sheltered by him, otherwise where would he have the guts to let the government cover it up from top to bottom.

This made him feel very troublesome. It is not easy to find the murderer and make him punished. This involves a power struggle between the palace and the imperial court. side of accountability.

Xu Bei shook his head in his heart, he could only wait, the situation between the palace and the court might not last long, once the two sides broke their faces, then the crimes committed by Ma Zongbing would definitely be brought out for questioning.

"Brother Xu, we're just ahead of Shanwazigou. It's not easy to find this place without a guide. We have to spend the night in the village tonight." Lao Qiu said, pointing to the looming roof in front of him.

"I listened to Lao Qiu's arrangement. Fortunately, Lao Qiu led the way, otherwise I would not receive much goods this trip." Xu Bei thanked.

"Where, I'm not only here to help you, but also to help the folks in Wazigou. I think the little brother is a sincere person who brought you here. It's not easy for big guys to earn a little money these days." Lao Qiu said with emotion .

"Don't worry, Lao Qiu, I'm just earning some hard money."

The children playing outside not far away saw the ox cart appearing, and they all ran over to watch the excitement, and when they saw someone they knew, they immediately shouted: "It's Uncle Qiu, Uncle Qiu is here again..."

Lao Qiu picked up the fastest running child and put it beside him, and then yelled at other children who were blocking the road to get out of the way. The child sitting in the car laughed triumphantly, and the other children were jumping up and down beside him. Jumping to the ground and screaming, waiting for the bullock cart to pass, they climbed onto the bullock cart from the side and the back and started fighting, laughing and joking all the way.
