The Golden Age Chapter 93: Appearance and Shenli

There was a warm color in the bald eyes, and said: "Second sister-in-law's simmering bamboo shoots, even if you are old, you can't eat enough." Pulling the simmering bamboo shoots in front of him, he feasted.

"Yuanbao, your habit of protecting food may not be changed in this life." Xuanyuan Chong shook his head and smiled: "Suyun, give me a bowl of rice too. Seeing his food is so delicious, I am also hungry. ."

The young woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and served Xuanyuanchong with rice.

"Yi'er fell asleep?" Xuanyuanchong asked after taking the job.

The young woman nodded and said: "Just go to bed, you eat slowly, I will wash the pot." went out.

Yuanbao eats very slowly. Xuanyuan filled a bowl of rice and finished eating. There was half of the ingot left. He said slowly: "When I was young, in famine years, I would fight with animals to eat grass. If I don’t protect the food, I'm going to starve to death."

Xuanyuan Chong sighed and said: "There are still many people in the four northeast counties who live the same life as you."

"A person eats meat or grass. Others can't control it. You can only rely on yourself." Yuanbao eats slowly and speaks slowly. It seems that every word is carefully thought out before saying: "If you want to eat meat, you must first Eat grass."

Xuanyuan Chong thoughtfully, after finishing his last bite of rice with Yuanbao, he got up, wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and said: "I'm leaving now."

Xuanyuanchong nodded and didn't want to stay, Xuanyuan rushed out the door and said to the kitchen: "Second sister-in-law, I'm leaving first."

"It's too dark, be careful on the road." Young woman Suyun asked.

Yuan Bao said "um", followed the path, and soon disappeared into the night.

Suyun just entered the house and sat next to Xuanyuanchong, and said softly: "Brother Chong, when you came back, your brows were frowned. Did something happen?"

"It's nothing." Xuanyuan smiled.

"When you have something in your heart, you can always see it on your face." Suyun said quietly: "You don't want to say, I won't force you, but if you feel better if you say it, just tell me."

Xuanyuan shook Suyun's hand, hugged it in his arms, and said softly: "Today the fourth child snatched a lot of girls back from the mountain, I asked him to let them go, and there was a dispute. Although the big boss Mediation, but the fourth child is definitely more dissatisfied with me. I feel that the masters seem to be unhappy."

"The contradiction between the fourth and you in the past two years has become deeper and deeper." Suyun smiled bitterly: "I know you are upright, you must take care of things you can't understand, but...this In the past two years, they began to alienate you a lot. In the past, the third and fourth elders often came to drink with you, even the big bosses often came. Do you remember how long they have not come here now?"

Xuanyuan Chong shook his head and said, "I don't remember."

"It's been more than a year." Suyun worried: "You and their temperament are different. If this goes on, you will only get more and more productive."

Xuanyuanchong said solemnly: "It's not because of different temperaments that we are alienated. Six years ago, I led a group of people to Montenegro. At that time, everyone had different temperaments, but they fell in line with each other. They are allied by blood, and brothers are united." With a melancholy expression, he sighed lightly: "In the final analysis, my goals are different from theirs. Over the years, we have defeated the Liaodong Army in a row, and the Liaodong Army has not dared to get involved in Montenegro. Without the threat of officers and soldiers, the mountains are not only rich in resources. , I often send people out to mow grass and eat and drink without worry. Once people are happy, they forget their original wishes. They are used to such peaceful and happy days in the mountains, and they have long forgotten their original intention of helping the dangers."

Suyun looked at Xuanyuanchong and whispered softly: "Let's leave them alone and live in Huangtuzhai, isn't it good?"

"Suyun, we went up the mountain because of helplessness." Xuanyuanchong said with a serious face: "But if we really become bandits, what about our descendants? Yi'er is only five years old, and a child as old as him is on the mountain. Hundreds, if we are content with the status quo, will these children become bandits in the eyes of the world? And children born in the future, are they destined to be thieves? If we are willing to be bandits, then their Destiny can only be a bandit. Let’s not say that this will humiliate our ancestors. What matters is that the court does not encircle and suppress us now. Could the court really let us pass on in Montenegro for a hundred years? Can it be spared?"

Suyun bit her lip lightly, Xuanyuan rushed to hold her hand and said, "Even everyone on the mountain that day

Dying under the butcher knife of officers and soldiers, no one will sympathize with us, and will feel that the court has suppressed the bandits and killed us for the sake of the people. After death, we will still be stinking for thousands of years. This ending, is it you? What i want to see? "

Suyun smiled bitterly: "Can we change?"

"It was very difficult to change." Xuanyuan Chong said: "However, the court sent a soldier to the northeast. Although I can't tell whether they are good or bad, but... I always feel that this is changing fate. Opportunity."

Suyun blinked his eyes, charmingly, and asked softly: "Is that the Dragon Rui army you mentioned?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chong said: "The leader of the Long Rui Army is Qin Xiao. This person is deeply favored by the emperor, and not long ago, he killed the innocent son of Bohai. This person can ignore his own life. Few people in the world can compare Bohai Shizi on the ring with such courage and courage, and killing Bohai Shizi is not only for the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, but also to seek justice for the innocent people. Such a character is by no means incompetent. A disciple. During the day, I personally went to see him. Although he was young, he was not messy at the moment and he was like a general."

Suyun smiled at the corner of her lips: "I haven't heard you praise someone so much."

"What he did is admirable." Xuanyuanchong said softly: "At least I feel that he should be a person who can distinguish right from wrong. I have been thinking about whether it is possible to open my heart with him and bring Black Mountain. Brother’s difficulties told him. We are not against Datang, but the Liaodong Army. I want him to understand that we are rebelling against the Liaodong Army, not for rebellion, but for the Liaodong Army to exploit the people. Can't go on anymore."

Suyun frowned: "They are all officers and soldiers, even if you tell him this, what can you do?"

"I don't know if it's useful." Xuanyuanchong's eyes were deep and thoughtful: "Before I saw him, I felt that the appearance of Long Ruijun was not necessarily aimed at Black Mountain. After I met him, I felt that way. More intense. I even think that Qin Xiao’s target is the Liaodong Army!"

Suyun was startled, and then shook his head: "Brother Chong, since he is the emperor's favored courtier, how can the emperor send him to the northeast to deal with the Liaodong army? That's not seeking his own death? You mean the emperor sent himself the most renewed The courtier ran to the northeast to find his death? This...Impossible!"

Xuanyuanchong nodded slightly and said: "What you are talking about is reasonable. Normally speaking, it is really impossible." Raising his hand and gently punching his head, he smiled bitterly: "I am a little at a loss now, I don't know what's next. What to do. If my instincts are right, not only can Black Mountain not be an enemy of him, but he must try to help. It’s just that the big boss and a few others insist on sending troops to attack. They are worried that the Long Rui army will grow under their noses. We But they were indifferent. When they launched an attack on Montenegro, it was too late to regret it. Their worries were not unreasonable..., but if Qin Xiao’s target was not Montenegro, we sent people to fight, and the two sides had a death feud. At that time, the Liaodong Army was the fisherman's profit."

"Brother Chong, you are too tired." Suyun said softly: "I will help you prepare hot water, take a bath, and sleep well. Maybe tomorrow I can figure it out."

When Xuanyuan Chong was still in doubt, in Heishui Village, the other three heads of Heishan gathered together.

"Fourth old man, you are really out of character today." Zhou Hongji looked at Du Zi channel who was still unhappy: "In front of so many people, I directly confronted him. When I was seen by my brothers, I would say Our brothers are at odds, this will hurt morale."

Du Zitong said nonchalantly: "Brother, I brought people back home with all their hard work, and originally prepared a gift for him, but he did it well, in front of so many people, let me send those women back? What am I going to do? It is also the fourth master of Montenegro, brothers see, where is my face?"

"Big brother, what the fourth brother said is not wrong." Shen Xuan sighed, "Even if the second child wants to put those women down, he should talk to the fourth brother in private, why should he be in front of so many people? In this way, it makes people feel that the fourth brother is doing evil, but Xuanyuanchong is righteous and awe-inspiring."

"That's the truth." Du Zitong patted his thigh and gave Shen Xuangan a thumbs up: "The third brother has read a few more books than me, and his words hit the nail on the nail."

Zhou Hongji sighed: "Fourth brother, your prejudice against him is too deep. Yes, those women are all sent down the mountain?"

"Sent it." Du Zi

Tong hehe smiled: "But I have left a few beautiful ones. Although one has been married, he is outstanding in appearance. There is such a charming energy all over his body. I have to give it away. It’s a hard work for nothing. It’s a pity Very much." whispered: "I have secretly sent someone to Houzhai. Brother will try it later."

Zhou Hongba raised his face and said: "Making a fool, I will send it away after I say it, why do I leave a few? Let's not take it as an example."

"Big brother, this is also the painstaking effort of the fourth brother." Shen Xuan said with a smile: "Don't worry about you being bored on the mountain, these women eldest brothers take good care of them, and they have fun."

Zhou Hongji shook his head, and said: "You are getting more and more uncomfortable. Let's say it, let's not take it as an example."

"Brother, we are living a happy life, even the Liaodong Army dare not come to provoke, why do you make everyone miserable because of him." Duzi channel: "He doesn't like drinking and having fun, Let him eat and recite the Buddha by himself, whatever we do?"

Zhou Hongji said: "Black Mountain still cannot do without him. To be honest, when it comes to leading soldiers in wars, he is still able to endure. Without him, we wouldn't be defeated without him in the Liaodong Army. He Although he is not gregarious, he still has the ability. If we really want to fight, we have to rely on him."

"Brother, what you said is wrong." Du Zitong sneered: "I admit that he can fight, but Montenegro is not impossible without him. Defeating the Liaodong Army is the brave brothers, even without him, we still do the same. Not afraid of the Liaodong Army."

Shen Xuan felt a low voice and said: "Brother, it is not a bad thing to have a sharp knife in his hand, but it is not a good thing if this knife does not listen."

"What do you mean?"

"Long Rui Army has been stationed in Songyang Grassland for almost half a month." Shen Xuangan said softly: "From the beginning, we discussed taking advantage of their unstable foothold and attacking the barracks at night to drive them out of the grassland. On the mountain. Five or six thousand people can be mobilized to kill at any time. The strength of the army is far above that of the Long Ruijun, and we know this land well. The Long Ruijun first arrived, and if we attack at night, it must be a successful battle. Immediately send troops, the Long Rui army is now afraid that they have already rolled back into the customs, but now they have built a barracks in the Songyang pasture, if they continue to ignore them, they will completely take root in the pasture, and then the price will only be paid. Increase."

Du Zitong nodded slightly, and said: "It was he who tried to stop us at that time, and we were still not moving. Brother, at that time, you personally ordered us to lead the soldiers to kill, but he found various reasons, not to be anxious. Send troops, that is a military order that directly opposes you."

"Eldest brother is the lord of Montenegro. To put it straightforwardly, you are the monarch of Montenegro." Shen Xuan said with a serious face: "Your order is the imperial edict. Did you hear that there are courtiers opposing the emperor's will? That's called it. If you don’t comply with the decree, you must decapitate."

Zhou Hongji stroked his beard and said: "This is naturally different. The dispatch of troops is extraordinary. Everyone discusses it and he puts forward his opinions. It is also understandable."

"This time he can oppose Big Brother sending troops, of course next time he can also oppose Big Brother doing other things." Du Zitong said coldly: "Did he forget that he was besieged and suppressed by the Liaodong Army with 1,800 people. When he went to Montenegro, the elder brother took him in by righteousness. If there is no elder brother, the grass on his grave will be several feet high. But he has made some military exploits, and now he dares to oppose the eldest brother’s orders. Hey, elder brother, just like a brother What should not be said, does he consider himself the Lord of Montenegro?"

Zhou Hongji shook his body and frowned.

"He has no more than a few hundred people under his hand. He is the weakest, and he can win the battle because of the brothers in the entire cottage." Shen Xuan said with a feeling: "If the credit is great, he will think that he is omnipotent. This In the past few years, he has fought many battles, all supported by his elder brother, and the brothers shed blood for their lives, but everyone feels that he is invincible and his prestige on the mountain is getting higher and higher." He glanced at Du Zitong. , Whispered: "To reprimand the fourth brother today, in the final analysis, it is to increase his own prestige, but to win the hearts of the people by stepping on the fourth brother."

Zhou Hongji was thoughtful, and after a while, he sighed: "You have too deep a prejudice against him. If you continue to lose peace with your brothers, you will lose the cottage." Waved his hand and said, "No, don't say anything like this in the future. No matter what, I will treat you as brothers, and I will treat him as my own brother." After a pause, he finally said: "But Long Ruijun really can't drag on any longer."
