Lingnan Xietian Yuwu made himself king, made his righteous younger brother Fengxiu the Southern King, worshiped the position of prime minister, and married his sworn sister to Fengxiu as his wife. After pausing for a moment, he waved his hand to let Bai Chenzi, who came in to deliver the news, go down.

That night Bai Chenzi saw his sworn brother wearing a single shirt and sitting on the top of the highest watchtower in the barracks, holding a jug of wine and drinking in small sips. His high ponytail and dark green hair tie Merging with the moonlight, I just looked at the south direction and sat until dawn.

However, early the next morning, he still supervised the military training personally, and read the letters one by one after receiving the letters from the southeast and south of the Yangtze River. Bai Chenzi cautiously tried a word during his rare time to stop for a sip of tea: "Brother, Over there at Fengxiu..."

Fu Ying waved her hand and interrupted Bai Chenzi's words, "The matter of Fengxiu, as long as it has nothing to do with Mobei or the world, there is no need to investigate and report it again."

"But brother..." Baichenzi frowned. If Fuying smashed the table in a rage at this moment, or went out to train soldiers with a knife in anger, or simply killed Lingnan directly, he would feel normal, but this sitting The person drinking tea casually in front of me is not normal.

Fu Ying glanced at Bai Chenzi, drank the tea in the tea bowl and put it aside, "Third brother, did you ever study in school when you were young?"

"No... it was the king who taught me, Wuzhixiang, and Jialing." Bai Chenzi shook his head.

"I've attended." Fu Ying looked at the various booklets on the table and was slightly lost in thought, "To be precise, I overheard the lectures given by the masters in the school. Their first lesson was that the country is based on the people. , Food is the most important thing for the people. Mr. said, the people are more important than the country, and the king is the least. Whether you are a king or a minister, whether you are a general or a minister, you must remember this truth."

Bai Chenzi was a little dazed, but still nodded, "I understand the truth."

"Compared to the common people in the world, princes and princes are nothing, so there is still need to worry about the little relationship between children?" Fuying sighed slightly, "I believe that Fengxiu's thoughts are almost the same as mine."

Bai Chenzi was stunned, he watched Fu Ying bury herself in various official documents again, after a long time, he finally quietly changed a cup of tea for him, and quietly retreated out.

Three years have passed since the three-point days of the world, and the princes of all families are recuperating.

In the first year, there was a flood in Lingnan, and Nan Wang Fengxiu personally led the army to control the water; in another year, Fengxiu started a large-scale private school, regardless of poverty, high or low, and men and women, and everyone was admitted; in the next year, the Lingnan coast, Nanwang Fengxiu wantonly expanded the sea Although the land in Lingnan is small, it has become a land of prosperity; after three years, the three-year-old children in Lingnan also know the word "Southern King".

In the teahouse in the border town of Huainan, there was a lot of discussion.

"I heard that the conscription order has arrived in Lincheng, and we are afraid that it will be here soon."

"Hey, although the distance is only a few hundred miles away, people in Lingnan have food and drink. How are we? Even a 70-year-old woman has to be dragged to the military camp to cook."

"It's all because our Central Plains King doesn't have enough troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat him."

"How about... let's go to Lingnan quietly? It's really not possible. Let's go east, and we can go to Jiangnan."

"Shh... shut up..."

On the other side of the teahouse, Sanshou Cixi, who was dressed in casual clothes, put down his chopsticks and sighed heavily, "The Lord of the Realms doesn't listen to persuasion at all."

Brilliant Fallen World sitting opposite him shook his head bitterly, "I can't stop it. Why don't you tell Shi Yin about it, maybe he still has some ideas."

"Shi Yin's health is getting worse and worse. The weather is getting colder and colder. I caught a cold last month, and it hasn't improved since I came out. I still have to deal with those official documents on the sick bed every day." Sashou shook his head compassionately, "The master of the world is like this, it is true that the master Yin has worked hard this time."

Brilliant Falling into the World looked at the few small dishes on the table, and felt that it was difficult to enter, "Then...Shi Yin still going to see...that person in the past few months?"

"I didn't go last month. Last month, the [-]th teacher Yin was bedridden. I stayed with Yan Yun boy for two days." Sashou shook his head compassionately, "Forget it, there is no way to do things here, just follow the Lord Let's go. I have to go back. Shi Yin tried to get the nobles to sell the land a few days ago, and he offended many people and ran to the Lord of the World to sue. Even the Lord of the World scolded him a few words. My absence is not good for him."

Brilliant Fall into the World nodded, "I'll see you off."

Sashou Cixi stood up and looked around, there were not many people in the teahouse, except for a table farther away who were still discussing what to do, "Actually, I really don't want to care about the world, I just hope that Shi Yin is safe. "

Brilliant Falling into the World was stunned, seemed a bit hesitant, let go of his hands and walked out mercifully, he suddenly said: "Brother, if... I mean if, Shi Yin knows, his father was killed by the World Lord, and his sister died in the Prince Yadi's mansion is also planned by... the world master, will he... stop helping the world master?"

The footsteps of Sashou Mercy walking out stopped instantly, he turned his head in astonishment, his face pale, "What did you say?"

……

It was windy and snowy, Wuyi was leaning on one side in the carriage, holding a small hand stove, and Yan Yun beside him helped him pull the cloak on his lap, "Master Yin, it's such a cold day, you must go to the mountains Is it?" Yan Yun pouted and looked at Wuyi.

Wuyi smiled, and reached out to touch Yan Yun's head, "Don't worry, I consulted the imperial doctor, and he has recovered well in the past two days, so he can go out."

"Shi Yin goes up the mountain once a month. Who is he going to meet?" Yan Yun asked curiously.

"A very important person." Wuyi smiled.

"Is he someone Shi Yin likes?" A careless remark by the young man made Wuyi blush, and Yan Yun suddenly smiled when he saw his acquiescence, "I mean, every time Shi Yin goes up the mountain, Senior Brother Sa is very sour. .”

"Cough, cough..." Wuyi coughed in a low voice, and Yan Yun quickly patted his back to help him breathe.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the master and apprentice in the carriage were taken aback. Yan Yun let go of Wuyi's hand, stood up and pulled the curtain to look out, "Housekeeper, what's wrong? Ah!" Outside the cotton curtain, the steward driving the car was leaning to one side, already out of breath, with a crossbow bolt stuck in his chest.

"What's the matter?" Wuyi stood up and looked out, a cold light startled him, he instinctively grabbed Yan Yun and fell backwards, Yan Yun was not standing firmly, but was caught by Wuyi Pulling the collar from behind, they fell directly backwards, and the two of them fell on the carriage together. A crossbow bolt quickly passed through the position of Yan Yun just now and was nailed straight to the wooden board of the carriage.

Wuyi was stunned for a moment, and then saw dozens of crossbow arrows arriving at the same time outside. The wooden boards of the carriage were not very thick, and many of them went directly into the carriage along the window. Wuyi quickly turned over and climbed to the side of the carriage, stretched out his hand When he got to the reins, he twitched the horse's butt with all his strength. The horse pulling the cart was also frightened, but this made it even more irritable, and quickly rushed out with four hooves.

A few black shadows flashed out from the nearby woods and quickly chased after him.

Wuyi only felt that he was about to vomit due to the bumping of the carriage, so he stretched out his hand to protect Yan Yun. He didn't know where the horse was going, so he struggled to open the curtain behind the carriage, and he could see a dozen men in black riding on horses After chasing him, Wuyi frowned, protected Yan Yun, reached out and pulled out a crossbow arrow from the car, then turned around and climbed to the door of the car, seeing the horse's speed gradually slowing down, he clenched his teeth and hugged Yan Yun tightly, raised his hand The crossbow arrow in the horse pierced the horse's buttocks.

The horse pulling the cart suffered from pain and ran out even faster. Wuyi fell directly into the cart and hit his head on the wooden plank behind him. The pain was severe, and the cart suddenly shook violently. Falling to the ground, Yan Yun in his arms let out a low cry, and he didn't know where he hit it. The carriage tripped over a stone on the side of the road and turned over directly. The board was broken on the ground. The horse ran away quickly.

Wuyi struggled from a pile of wooden boards in a panic, turned around and saw that Yan Yun had passed out, and the men in black also stopped, "Hmph, they can run quite well."

"Stop talking nonsense, kill him and go back quickly to do business. There are barren mountains and wild mountains here, no one can see."

Wuyi intended to stand up, but after trying twice, he only felt a sharp pain in his right leg, so he barely sat up and looked up at the man in black who came down from the horse, "Who are you...?" On the broken boards and snow, his face was still calm.

"It doesn't matter who we are, but you Wuyi Shi Yin, or you should call you Prime Minister, is going to die soon." The other party walked over with a cold snort.

There was no fear on Wuyi's face, and he stretched out his hand to block Yan Yun behind him, "This child is innocent."

"Don't worry, we won't have trouble with a child. We will go back to deal with you after you die." The man walked up to Wu Yi.

Wuyi's eyes fell on the man's shoes, slightly surprised but still calm, "So they are from Jingyin. These shoes were unified by your Jingyin soldiers. I thought the ones who came would be noblemen." , I didn’t expect it to be you.” He looked up at the masked person, “But it’s true, Jing Yin’s wife is also the niece of the World Lord.”

The other party was obviously a little surprised that Wuyi saw through his identity, but then he thought that since this person was about to die, there was nothing to be afraid of, "Okay, let's see you on your way." The man looked at Wuyi and said with a cold snort.

Wuyi just looked up and watched the person in front of him pull out the long knife, without blinking his eyes, but the man lost his breath for a moment when the long knife was unsheathed, the white figure was wrapped in the wind and snow, and the black sword belt Bloody light, the person lay on his back directly on the ground, the companions around him didn't realize what happened, they just felt the metal light flashing in front of their eyes, and then they fell down one by one, and they didn't understand what happened until they died what's up.

Wuyi's calm face was a little moved, he looked at the back that finally stopped in front of him, the black and white clothes fell into his eyes, and then the person turned around, he hadn't seen him for many years, but he was never a stranger face, "No injury..."
