The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 69: Prime Minister in the Mountains, as powerful as a tiger

Autumn is coming.

Three carriages headed to Kuaiji.

This is the Yuzhang Zhu family.

Inside the carriage, Zhu Gongyuan had three strands of long beard and was wearing a long robe commonly seen among the gentry.

"Alas, this son-in-law is too lazy. He doesn't even apply for military service. How can our family prosper?" Zhu Gongyuan complained.

"Save your energy. The Ma family that you valued before has no ability and yet they rebelled. You almost killed Yingtai." Zhu's mother said unhappily.

The Ma family rebelled a few years ago and almost scared her to death. If Yingtai had married this family, she would probably not have had a good ending.

Zhu Xiongtai, who was driving the carriage, also said, "Yes, Shanbo is well-known and is known as the Stone in the Mountains. He is also a famous scholar in Jiangzuo. If he is recruited in the future, he will definitely be appointed as a prime minister."

Xie Anshi made a comeback at the age of forty, and from a commoner he became the prime minister of Jiangzuo. I wonder how many people think he is a hero.

"Drive your car, stop talking!"

……

Liuzhuang, back mountain.

Outside the wooden house, Liang Yue was holding a Dahuan Dan to feed Jinwu.

A tortoise is basking in the sun on a table.

Liang Yue sensed the body of Jinwu with his divine sense and found two meridians inside and a white talisman at the heart.

This is the first level of turbid beast.

Since the Golden Crow has no spiritual energy, it cannot create magic. Liang Yue suddenly has an idea. Why not let the Golden Crow cultivate its internal strength?
Internal force is transformed from qi and blood. The Golden Crow is a strange beast, so it naturally has powerful qi and blood.

"Recently, bandits have broken into many forts. Tell me honestly, was it you who did it? Only your place is full of alien masters." Xie Xuan's figure appeared on the treetops at some point, and his Taoist robe fluttered in the breeze.

"Yes."

Liang Yue simply admitted it while guiding the Golden Crow's blood and energy.

"how so?"

"For world peace."

Just as Xie Xuan was about to retort, he suddenly recalled what he had seen while traveling around the world, the countless children of wealthy families who competed with each other for wealth and extravagance and treated humans like beasts. He was suddenly speechless.

After a long while, Xie Xuan slowly said, "How will the Xie family be dealt with in the future?"

By the way, why is this guy fiddling with this crow? And feeding it elixirs, could he be able to cultivate internal strength?
"You just have to cooperate."

Wow!
The Golden Crow flew straight into the sky.

Suddenly it fell down like a ray of black light.

Snapped!
With a flap of its wings, it cut down trees, and its claws crushed stones like tofu.

"This..." Seeing this scene, Xie Xuan's pupils shrank and he was extremely shocked. This person's alchemy skills have reached this level?
Not only can humans be trained, but beasts can also be trained?

Xie Xuan seemed to realize that the situation was hopeless, and said helplessly:

"I will ask them to give their full support, and as for the others who are disobedient...you can deal with them yourselves."

With the support of the Xie family, the eight counties in Jiangzuo had unimpeded access.

The two were silent. Liang Yue was only concerned with organizing the Golden Crow's internal force. Not all exotic beasts have internal force. Only those with strong qi and blood and high intelligence can practice it.

"Let's get a dog later."

Raise a dog to guard the house and protect the backyard.

Liang Yue released the Golden Crow and then walked down the mountain.

Xie Xuan jumped down from the tree and asked in confusion:
"So, what do you want to do? Leave your name in history? Make great achievements?"

This is not the first time I've asked this question. This kid is indeed a little weird.

"Watch the waves wash away the heroes, watch the sunset glow again and again."

"Eliminate all the heroes..." Xie Xuan was stunned. Am I being watched too? He jumped onto the treetop and caught up with him. "Boy, who knows who will live longer between us! I'll eliminate you first!"

The sun is shining and the wind is gentle, and the willows are swaying.

The garden was built by the lake.

There are pavilions, water and green mountains. After all, it is an expansion on the original foundation, so it is relatively fast.

The willow seedlings planted by everyone earlier have now grown to a height of one person.

Outside the territory of Liuzhuang, there were iron cavalry like clouds and long spears like forests.

A few years ago, the people who planted willow trees were waiting outside the garden.

Liu Chong, Lin Jian, Xu Xianzhi, Tan Shao, Xiao Ming, and Bao Qian are all in high spirits. The young men of the past are now fathers.

Zhu Yingtai talked to the other female relatives with her big belly, and they smiled at her.

"Big brother, second brother."

Liang Yue greeted everyone in turn.

"Daddy! Hug..."

Zhu Yingtai brought her daughter over, and He Yun held her father's big hand and asked for a hug.

"Shanbo, what is the name of the garden?" Zhu Yingtai asked.

Liang Yue picked up his daughter, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's call it Qingshan Garden."

The green mountains are still there, and the sunsets are still red. Chunyang's inner strength has broken through to the upper level, and he rarely uses magic on weekdays. He has completely become a mortal.

From now on, I will practice Taoism, discuss philosophy, and watch the flowing water in this garden.

"Qingshan Garden, that's a good name." Liu Chong has never had the ability to appreciate things.

"It's quite charming." Xu Xianzhi agreed.

Seeing them like this, the others were all amazed.

at this time.

Zhu Gongyuan and others’ carriage arrived.

"This... whose troops are these?" Zhu Gongyuan was shocked. Are these his son-in-law's troops?
What do you want to do?
"It should be Shanbo's troops." Zhu Xiongtai couldn't help but sigh, a strong army and powerful horses, a real man should be like this.

The servant went to inform, and Liang Yue came with his wife to greet them.

"Dad, Mom!" Zhu Yingtai ran over excitedly.

"Slow down, slow down, you really have to be a mother now." Zhu's mother scolded, secretly sighing in her heart that her daughter was not in the wrong choice, and it was obvious that she was spoiled.

There was a three-year-old girl next to Zhu Yingtai, looking at her timidly, and she looked very much like Yingtai when she was a child.

"Heyun, come here quickly." Zhu's mother hugged him with pity in her heart.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Brother Xiongtai." Liang Yue stepped forward to greet them.

Zhu Gongyuan asked, "Shanbo, what's going on with the soldiers outside?"

"Don't misunderstand, father-in-law. These are the troops of Commander Liu Chong, the troops sent to suppress the bandits."

"Suppress the bandits?" Zhu Gongyuan secretly complained in his heart, how could there be such powerful bandits in the world.

Liang Yue introduced his father-in-law and his family to everyone.

Zhu Gongyuan was secretly surprised to hear the names of so many dignitaries and children of noble families.

"Hello, Kangle Public Security, Governor Liu..."

Zhu Gongyuan's impression of his son-in-law changed drastically. It turned out that his son-in-law really knew so many heroes and even had friendships with them on equal terms.

Perhaps in the future he will be like Xie Anshi in the past, making a comeback and making a stunning debut.

As soon as he came out of the mountains, he became the prime minister.

How could Zhu's mother not know what her husband was thinking? She glanced at him, as if to say that she had good vision.

"Come on, everyone, don't stand, sit down quickly." Liang Yue greeted everyone.

Soon, Xie Qing, Xie Daoyuan and his wife, and people from Xie Xuan's lineage also came over.

In the pavilion by the lake, people were chatting in groups of three or four.

"Son, what have you learned recently?"

Liu Chong hugged his son and asked.

"The Analects... The Book of History... Farming, digging holes, Luoyang shovel..."

After hearing this, Liu Chong felt something was wrong. What was the Luoyang shovel? A strange weapon?

"Haha, learning all eighteen martial arts means being both civil and military." Liang Yue complained to Zhang Wenzhi in his heart that he even taught him this.

"What do you think of Yi Fu and He Yun? Do you want to arrange a marriage?"

"Wait until he grows up. He doesn't understand now."

"That's fine. Third brother, come here..." Liu Chong led Liang Yue to meet his subordinates, "These are the brothers I brought with me from the Northern Army, Wang Zhen'e, He Wuji, Fu Liang, come and meet the third brother."

"Greetings, Third Brother."

"Okay." Liang Yue nodded with a smile.

Soon, Bao Qian led everyone to serve the dishes.

Everyone sat around, sharing food and drinking wine.

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival again. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together. Let's drink!" Liu Chong smiled heartily.

This year has been extremely hard, but fortunately we have created a peaceful place for everyone.

Everyone had a feast.

Liu Chong drunkenly hugged Liang Yue's shoulders and said stumblingly:

"Third brother, I have never thought of leading an army. I just wanted to find a place to live in seclusion for the rest of my life. If it weren't for you saving me, I would have become a dry bone in a grave... Since I have chosen this path, I have to be vigilant day and night and be ready for war at any time..."

Lin Jian explained: "My eldest brother went back to his hometown a few days ago... his relatives were scattered, and only a few old people were left..."

"My condolences, brother."

"I will live up to the name of Liu, third brother. I plan to change back to my original name." Liu Chong was hunted down by the Taiping Tianshi Daoists and had no choice but to grow a beard and change his name to seek refuge. It was time to change it back.

"What's your name?"

"Liu Yu."

Liang Yue couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a good name that means 'golden swords and iron horses, and swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.'"

"Haha, huh?"

　The fever is gone. Phew, I'm finally better. I've been in a daze for the past two days.
