Liuzhou, Xiaokang County.

The appearance of Xiaokang County has changed a lot now. The original urban area is no longer inhabited, and a plain is divided into farmland, and then there is a vast martial arts arena. More than a thousand men with bare arms and legs are practicing with a chant.

Although it is not a regular army, but its stature is tall, the physique is brave, and the whole presents the momentum of dragon * tiger fierce.

In training and marching, rules and regulations are second to none. The most important thing is the spirit of the soldiers. If there is no fighting spirit before the battle, no matter how brilliant the general is, he will not be famous in training.

Beyond the Martial Arts Field, a wide road is built to the foot of the mountain. Along the way there are wooden houses with tile houses. Flowers and trees are planted in front of the door and behind the door. Although they are all hardy and hardy soil varieties, they are not comparable to the delicate and precious fairy flowers in Beijing. But the more the number, the more lush it is, and it is particularly beautiful against the loess.

Walking along the wide road to the foot of the mountain, you will see a stone gate made of hard granite. A circle of watchtowers has been built at the foot of the mountain.If you are lucky enough to pass the first level, there will be a chain bridge, a bird plank road, and a total of nine levels.

The main village is located halfway up the mountain, all of which are flat and low buildings, mostly with stone caves and stone houses.The rise of the willow bandits has only been a few years, and they have to raise soldiers as well as support the old and the weak, women and children, so naturally they don't have the extra financial resources to make large-scale construction projects.Most of the buildings in the main village are built according to the situation and using the original mountain.

But there is only one building in the group that is particularly eye-catching. It is a six-story Zhulou on stilts, which stands out from the crowd of low houses like a chicken.

Xiao Shuanzi has grown up a bit now, with blue light fluff growing on the corner of his mouth, and he has the appearance of a young man. He climbs up the long and narrow corridor and stops at the head of the iron-locked bridge beside the cliff.There were two red-faced Guan Gong guarding the bridgehead, and they blocked the way with a stick like a tower, "Take the card."

Xiao Shuanzi untied the pair of cards at his waist and handed them to them for inspection, then smiled at them and said, "Wildfire can't burn through."

The two said in a deep voice, "The new scene is reborn."

The three said in unison again, "General Wushuang."

After going through the fixed procedure, Shuanzi took the pair of cards and said with a smile, "Both old brothers, the prince has newly brewed rice wine, and when the little brother finishes his errands, the old buddy will bring a jar of rice wine."

The two laughed, "You kid stole the prince's wine again, and let him know that there are good fruits for you. By the way, you should patrol the main entrance today. Why are you rushing up before the shift change?"

Shuanzi scratched his head, "A guest came down and asked me to give Shi Laozi a post to the person in charge. I don't see the name, but the guest is not like an ordinary person, and I dare not neglect, so I plan to pass the post to Prince, it's up to his old man to decide."

"Show us brothers, don't come here to ask for security again, you don't have to offend the prince, and our brothers will suffer accordingly." Among them, he reached out and asked Xiao Shuanzi for the post to read.

But they couldn't recognize half of the characters because they were too big, and they turned over the post after a while and then handed it back to Xiao Shuanzi, "This paper is still very fragrant."

Xiao Shuanzi sniffed lightly at the tip of his nose. It was really fragrant, like bamboo and sweet-scented osmanthus. He wondered, maybe there were flowers in the paper?

The important task of patrolling should not be delayed for a long time, Xiao Shuanzi didn't stay long, tied a rope around his waist, walked through the cableway, climbed over the bird path, and finally arrived at the council hall after a lot of twists and turns.

The council hall is a large and bright room, outside the house is a cliff that can't be seen to the bottom at a glance, inside the room there is nothing but the desk, a big desk is placed on the main seat, and six are placed on both sides of the lower head, a total of thirteen.

Before entering the council hall, after a few steps away, I heard the sound of "cracking, crackling" abacus sounding like a snare drum. Shuanzi swallowed his saliva, and his eyes stayed on the large open windows, thinking wildly in his mind, why should he give it to Brother Jing? Tell me, let him send someone to seal the window, I'm afraid that the gentlemen will be forced to jump out of the window due to the pile of affairs.

He stood at the gate, the daylight was blocked, the room was dark for a while, the sound of abacus stopped, and thirteen eyes stared at him in an instant.Wang Ju raised his head from the desk. His cheeks were thin, and there were two huge dark circles under his eyes. His whole body seemed to have been sucked dry by a goblin.

Shuanzi was terrified by his seeing, so he hurriedly stepped forward and held up the post, and said a few words: "A man came this morning, about 20 years old, and he said he wanted to see the person in charge of our Yike. I saw that he is very generous. I didn't dare to be negligent, so I wanted to persuade him to leave with a good word, saying, "Your Majesty, go back first, we don't see outsiders here." Who knows that he gave me a post, asking me to give this post to the person in charge surnamed Wang, and others Leave it to me."

Wang Ju reluctantly pulled himself out of the chaotic account book, put the brush on his head, went to Shuanzi, took the post and looked through it, thinking, it's interesting, they act low-key, even Jing Xiaozi is held down by him He can't go out to show off, and he himself never shows up in front of outsiders. How did this kid know that there is a principal whose surname is Wang?He also asked to see him by name, a strange thing.

Wang Ju's face froze instantly as the stickers were scanned. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Please come up."

After Shuanzi left, he paced around the room twice, waved to the others, and said, "You guys go too, work is over early today."

Everyone bowed their hands, overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Master Wang."

Wang Ju took off the brush on his head and circled the word "Wang" on the sticker. He thought to himself, coming from Jiangdong, he must know everything about us, no matter what the purpose of the visit is, he must be well received.

The biggest puzzlement to the willow bandits outside is how a gang of bandits are so rich, raising soldiers and raising people, everything costs money like running water, but the willow bandits don't even run out of ammunition and food at all, instead they live a happy life So impressive, so here comes the question—where did the money come from?

Among them, there are few people who know the mystery, and Wang Ju is just one of them.

This can be traced back to Jiangdong trip three years ago. Xiao Jingtu was so fresh that Jiangdong had already thrown away the treasure hunting matter, and when he had nothing to do, he took a map and searched for Xiaolian Mountain. He was thinking about General Tian. It is impossible to deliberately make a fake map to trick people.

This search was incredible. He followed the map and found a large undiscovered salt pond in an inaccessible valley in Xiaolian Mountain. This is not salt, but countless silver!

Wang Ju's heart is active, he belongs to the Wang family, and he knows that it is impossible to exploit the salt pond behind the Wang family's back in Jiangdong, so he contacted the Wang family in private to reveal his identity, they need money, and the Wang family needs soldiers.

The two sides saw it right at the moment and made a cooperation agreement. The Wang family helped mine the salt pond, and the benefits were divided into four or six, and the Wang family had four and the others six.

It can be said that the development of Yike to its current scale is inseparable from the support of the Wang family.

Who in the world would have thought that the Jiangdong Wang family, who has been known for thousands of years as a family of poets and books, would hook up with the bandit leader and have an affair in private.

After hanging up the tea and waiting for an hour, Shuanzi led the people up.

"Master Wang, I brought the man here."

Wang Ju raised his eyes, and was stunned the moment his eyes caught the approaching person, and he lost his voice, "It turned out to be you!"

The only six-storey building on the mountain has an opera stage on the roof, on which gongs and drums are beating and babbling, and Xiao Dan's voice is heard, and the mournful sound lasts for a long time.

There is only one audience in the audience.

Luo Jinnian leaned on the armchair and stared at the stage in a daze. He seemed to have changed his temper. He didn't like bright colors such as crimson and light yellow. Instead, he wore a white brocade robe, and his round almond eyes drooped and were no longer bright.

He is passionate by nature, loves the excitement so badly, he is not tolerated in the zodiac, he was born in the genus of peacock, but now the excitement seems to be sealed by a water film, revealing an indescribable sadness.

The maid gently opened the door, walked to his side and called several times, "Lang Jun, Lang Jun!"

Luo Jinnian came back to his senses, a dim light was lit in his eyes, he waved his hand to make the actor back down, and turned to the envoy to stare at her deeply.

The female envoy took out the painting scroll in her sleeve, pointed at the human being in the painting, and said, "Your Majesty, he is here."

"It turned out to be you!" The moment he saw Wang Ju, Song Ling was as surprised as he was, and his mind turned very quickly. Since Wang Ju is here, what about Luo Jinnian?Could it be that……

Song Ling's pupils trembled slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Wansheng, to make a short story, I think you really don't want to see me, and neither does Wansheng. I didn't know it was your house before I rushed to the door today. Wansheng will bid farewell and never come back again. , please forgive Wansheng for being rude, Mr. Lao sent someone to send Wansheng down the mountain, and I will pretend that I have never seen him today."

Wang Ju moved his lips, looked behind Song Ling and sighed, "I'm afraid I can't leave."

Song Lingyi felt something, and instantly his blood was cold and stiff, as if his body was frozen, he couldn't move and he forgot to breathe.

Suddenly he heard a calm male voice, "Old Wang, you go first, I'll talk to him."

Wang Ju sighed heavily again, looked at the one who was frozen, and then at the one who seemed calm, turned his eyes away from the pair of enemies, and walked out as quickly as the floor was burning his feet, thinking to himself, what a crime!

Luo Jinnian's hands were shaking violently, he tried to maintain his dignity, and ordered in a cold voice: "Turn around."

Song Ling is no longer what he used to be. He has waded through seas of blood and slaughtered people. He not only flattered his enemies, but also walked alone with his ancestors behind his back. , Every inch of the skin was under control, Song Ling turned around and said in surprise: "Brother Jing? It's you. It's been three years since I came to Jiangdong. I didn't expect to be here today..."

"What did you call me?" Luo Jinnian clenched his fists and poked his neck and asked, he was not without progress, compared to the wanton pampering of his youth, he has been tempered by the wind and rain into a man worth relying on - a man.

But Song Ling held his lifeline and could easily defeat him.

"Ask what you call me!" Luo Jinnian pulled Song Ling's wrist into his arms, he pulled so hard, as if he was holding on to the days and nights of parting and refused to let go, as if he was holding all the regrets that could not be obtained.

Song Ling keenly sensed that Luo Jinnian's state was not right, they only met a few times in Jiangdong, even if he cheated Luo Jinnian in the end, when they meet again, according to Luo Jinnian's temperament, I'm afraid most of them should be angry, how could this be the reaction?

Luo Jinnian didn't give him time to think, he took him into his arms and walked away regardless of his struggle.

Song Ling's mind was in a mess, he leaned his face against Luo Jinnian's beating heart, his voice caught his ears, and he yelled out of nowhere,

"Jin Nian? Sui An?"
