The monk who is going to cross me is bent

Two years passed in a flash, and outside Xiyan Pass in the south, there was a man sitting on the top of a hill, overlooking this land from the deserted past to the present farmhouses and villages.

The color of the field under the twilight is warm and beautiful. A Luo’er passed by the mountain and saw the person above, saluted him, and greeted him in the Luo’e language: “Prince... ah, it’s time to call you Master Yuchi, have you eaten yet?” ? I hope to invite you to my wife's cooking..."

Xiaochi beckoned, declined his enthusiastic proposal, and let him go home to reunite with his relatives.

After a while, when it was time for the school to leave, the children flocked out. It wasn't just the adults who were teaching in the school. After the children, several adults came out together.

His clan members were learning Chinese, but the master who taught Chinese came out as a Han.

Over the years, many Luo'e people in Jiangbei have intermarried with people from the Central Plains. After Xiaochi presided over the family relocation plan, some people from the Central Plains also chose to move to Xiyanguan with their families, where they started from scratch and started a new livelihood.

In the distance, smoke rose from house to house, and children playing in the village were called home for dinner by their mothers.This kind of warmth and peace makes it almost impossible to see the harm suffered in the raging war 12 years ago.

After a long period of dormancy, this scarred group finally waited for a respite, regained a habitat, and continued vigorously again.

Xiaochi quietly looked at this peaceful scene, and realized that the last thing he should do had been done.

In the past two years, his name of "Yu Chi Wang" has been spread all over the country. This subjugated prince actually played an unknown role in Mu Beixi's battle to the north. Mu Beixi reused him and took power in the south.This kind of story is almost a legend, and after two years, it is still talked about in teahouses and wine workshops.

People only know that he has been dormant for many years to avenge his family and the country, and finally won the world's fame with one blow, but no one knows where he is and what he has done all these years. The unknown past.

He stayed on the south bank most of the time, but every other season, he would return to Jiangbei to preside over the Luo'e family relocation. He would settle the clansmen who came to seek asylum after hearing the news outside Xiyan Pass, and talk to Mu Beixi about important matters. Exchange information.

He never saw Zhuang Yan again, but news of Zhuang Yan kept reaching his ears.

The people in Jiangbei knew little about Mu Beixi, and they were not convinced by him. Not many were willing to bow their heads and become ministers. In the see-saw game, most of Zhuanghou's former subordinates chose to surrender to Zhuang Yan, which was also expected by Xiaochi.

His subordinate walked to his side and respectfully said: "Master Yuchi, this is today's medicine."

It was a Huagong powder, Xiaochi took it and swallowed it without blinking.

In the past two years, Xiaoyi's evil kung fu that he had practiced was like a stubborn illness, no matter how much Hua Gong San was used, it would come back in just a day or two.

In order to control his mind and keep his mind clear, he ate this Hua Gong San as food on weekdays. He took one or two bottles a day to dissipate [-]% to [-]% of the internal force in his body, so that he could suppress the speed of Xiao Yi's resurgence.

He once thought that he could live another seven or eight years, but Xiao Yi, who could not be eradicated, made his body exhausted and weakened day by day, and he could clearly feel that his life was passing by in the blink of an eye.His remaining days are numbered.

After Zhuanghou's death, Jiangbei fell into a state of disorder for a short time, but eventually returned to order. This is basically in line with Xiaochi's previous prediction - even if he does not take revenge, when Zhuanghou dies naturally, Jiangbei will also be the same It will fall into chaos, Mu Beixi is not stupid, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely cross the river to take advantage of the fire.

Because it is impossible for Zhuang Yan to regain all of Zhuang Hou's old tribes and the territory occupied by him in just a few days. At this time, Mu Beixi only needs to take advantage of the vacancy and occupy one or two fortresses, and then he will be able to fight steadily in Jiangbei Take root, become a nail that is difficult to be easily pulled out.

How can you allow other people to snore and sleep on the side of the couch? Mu Beixi came to Jiangbei to get involved in the world.But in a short period of time, Zhuang Yan couldn't do anything to Mu Beixi, he needed time, he would plan it slowly, be gentle and lure, threaten and intimidate, and recover most of Zhuang Hou's big and small old minions, but he is bound to not be able to recover all of them.

Everyone has to bear the choices they make. When Zhuang Yan broke with Zhuanghou, he no longer has the right to inherit, nor can he inherit all his territories. This is the consequence that Zhuang Yan has to bear.

But Xiaochi insisted on revenge, causing Zhuang Yan to lose Yushui City and neighboring counties that he might have held in his hands in this chaos. He also brutally killed Zhuanghou and his three thousand elite soldiers. Now his body is almost exhausted. The lamp is dry, this is the retribution he needs to bear.

Zhuang Yan's behavior style over the years has become increasingly unpredictable.In the past, his slow and steady style has become more aggressive and decisive. This is undoubtedly the most effective and powerful in Jiangbei's current situation, and his subordinates are more and more in awe of him.

He seems to be different from his brutal father Zhuanghou, he is a more trustworthy leader.And he was in his prime, and apart from having a wife who "died early", he was quite clean and self-sufficient, which made many famous families in Jiangbei want to marry.

Even in the farthest place from him, Xiaochi has heard a lot of news one after another over the years.

Recently, there was a piece of news that had been circulating for more than three months, and it became more and more intense-Zhuang Yan was discussing marriage with a noble daughter from a famous family in Jiangbei.

Xiao Chi also met this woman when he was in Jiangbei, she was famous for her talent and beauty, and heard that she has been reluctant to marry outside after she reached the age of leaving the cabinet, just because she has been in love with Zhuang Yan for many years.Her father was also loyal to Zhuang Yan, and had been unswervingly loyal to Zhuang Yan since the split between Zhuanghou and Zhuanghou. If Zhuang Yan married, she would be the No. 1 choice.

The rumor about them has come back again, and it has been raging for a long time, and Xiaochi is tired of hearing it. He thinks that if he hears the news that Zhuang Yan is going to marry her in a few days, he probably won't be too surprised.

This also made his last wish more firm.

"My lord, the doctor Muhou specially invited from Jiangbei will come to the mansion in the evening, you..." The subordinate hesitated to speak.

Xiaochi was very calm, "I know my own body well, so it doesn't matter if the doctor doesn't look at it. But the jade craftsman I've heard of before, I asked you to look for it yourself, can you find out his whereabouts?"

"Yes, I've found it, but it's getting late today, why not..."

Xiaochi stood up, flicked his sleeves and said, "Lead the way."

In the middle of the night, the starry Xiaochi left Xiyan Pass, sneaked into Shi Huan's territory secretly, and knocked on the door of the jade craftsman.

The jade craftsman saw Xiaochi's extraordinary demeanor, and brought people along with him, knowing that a nobleman had come, he dared not neglect, "Young master, what are you in such a hurry? It's late at night, can you wait until tomorrow morning..."

Xiaochi first took a silver ticket and put it on the table, "I just want to ask you to see if there is a possibility of it being restored."

He took out the brocade box in his arms and placed it under the bright candlelight, carefully opened the lid, and pulled away the layers of silk wrapped inside, revealing the jade pendant that was broken into several pieces. He actually collected them piece by piece and put them in this brocade box for safekeeping.

The jade craftsman looked at it carefully for a long while, then shook his head and said, "My lord, please forgive me... this jade pendant is broken into such pieces, it must be the Immortal Daluo descending to earth, and a spell can be used to restore it to its original state. With the power of a mortal, it will definitely not be able to restore the original state."

Seeing that Xiaochi was silent and looked gloomy, the craftsman knew that this jade pendant must be extremely important to him, so he said again: "My lord, do you remember the pattern on the jade pendant? If you can get someone to draw it, then find another piece." Good jade, maybe I can re-carve a piece according to the pattern."

Xiao Chi was dazed by the candlelight, and then slowly said: "If it wasn't for the original one... there would be no need to hit another one."

The jade craftsman said anxiously: "In that case, my lord..."

Xiaochi sighed, and carefully put away the irreparable pieces of jade. Just as he was about to leave, the jade craftsman suddenly spoke again.

"Wait a minute, son, I have a way to recover this jade."

Xiaochi immediately stopped his movements and looked back at him abruptly, "Didn't you just say..."

"I've thought of another way, maybe it's feasible." Jade Carpenter's eyes were straight, and the expression on his face was also indescribably different from before, he seemed a little dull, but his words were clear, "Young master, would you like to give it a try? "

Looking at the jade craftsman for a moment, Xiaochi pushed the brocade box in his hand to him again.

The craftsman pleaded guilty, saying that he was going to his own Qiaoyu workshop, and could only repair it with the help of some tools, so he walked into the workshop alone with a brocade box containing jade.

The lights in Qiaoyufang were brightly lit, and only the figure of the craftsman was visible. His apprentices rushed to the workshop one after another when they saw the lights on. It means people go in and help.

His apprentice shouted outside: "Master? Master?"

He didn't say a word, if he couldn't see the jade craftsman from the window, these apprentices would have wondered if something happened to their old master inside?

Xiaochi recalled the brief contact just now, and the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong.The jade craftsman suddenly changed his words and said that he could repair the jade pendant, and his attitude changed very abruptly. At that time, Xiaochi felt a subtle sense of incompatibility.

He began to feel that something was wrong, he knocked on the door and said, "Let me in."

The jade craftsman finally spoke, and the voice came out through the door, a little strangely rigid, "My lord, please wait a moment."

Thinking of the jade pendant inside, Xiaochi couldn't wait any longer, he broke the bolt on the other side with soft strength, pushed the door open and walked in.

But the jade craftsman didn't have anything in his hand, he walked around in place as if possessed by a demon, as if he didn't even notice that Xiao Chi had entered.

And the jade pendant was placed on the tool table next to it, and Xiao Chi immediately rushed forward and picked it up in the palm of his hand.

The jade pendant that so many skilled craftsmen said was absolutely impossible to restore had already been restored to a complete piece of jade pendant.Except for a few barely visible fine lines on the surface, it can't be seen that it has been broken to the point of being invisible.

Xiaochi raised his head in disbelief, and suddenly realized the existence of another person in the workshop.

The person standing in the corner has no sound or shadow.

Xiaochi squinted at him, remembered the characteristics Mu Beixi had described to him, and called out his name accurately: "Shi Huan?"
