Liu Xiaoqi choked on one sentence so that the bald old man could not speak, and his face gradually turned pale. Then he heard the sound of footsteps, and a young Taoist priest came in from outside and bowed deeply to Liu Xiaoqi: "This hero
, As the old saying goes, loyalty never avoids danger. The emperor is the foundation of all peoples, and the reason why our dynasty is in chaos today is because we have no master. Moreover, poor Taoists believe that there are more loyal and good people in the end, and the word 'orthodoxy' is what people want."
Liu Xiaoqi frowned, thinking about what Chen Ruijin was doing when he closed his eyes and let Liu Mingyi come over. Just as he was about to speak, someone shouted "No!" from behind. Dong Yu walked away quickly with a sullen face.
When he came back, he looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Since ancient times, people's hearts have never been towards 'orthodoxy'."
The Taoist priest put his hands behind his back and said, "Wang Mang died after usurping the Han Dynasty for more than ten years. This is an example."
Dong Yu said: "This is not an appropriate example. Zhu Di took the throne from his nephew and passed it on to later generations peacefully; Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and became a wise king for the ages. Even if the people really support orthodoxy, they should support the righteous and loyal prince."
The Taoist priest said: "Prince Yi Zhong is dead, and it was a crime committed by the late emperor himself."
Dong Yu spread his hands and said: "Look, even the Tian family doesn't want to be orthodox, so how can they expect the people to be orthodox? Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and Empress Wu usurped the Tang Dynasty. This is because Wang Mang's surname was Wang, not Liu, and Empress Wu's surname was Wu, not Li. Now, now
All the kings in the world are surnamed Situ. The king of Beijing County has no choice but to go overseas if he wants to be the emperor. His contemporary King Yan and King Chu who are two generations younger than him are all ambitious, rule clearly and are supported by their subjects. Taoist priest,
The Supreme Emperor has no advantage over other kings. If you don’t believe me, go to Chu State and ask if the Chu people would like to support their little Chu King or the Supreme Emperor?"
The Taoist priest was silent for a long time after hearing this. The old man said: "The saint is an upright inheritor of the great treasure. He only needs to correct the chaos. There is no way to decide whether the people of a small country are willing or not."
Dong Yu just pretended not to hear: "The emperor's sons have all been crowned kings, which is much better than Prince Yi Zhong's fate. In fact, the fate of these two people is exactly the same. The court is much more sinister than Lulin, but Lulin has moral principles after all, right?
But the Tian family is more ruthless than the court. Taoist priest, it’s not because we are not friends enough, but you are in fact defeated in this matter. If you want to help others, you have to protect yourself first, right?"
The Taoist priest looked at him for a long time and smiled softly: "That's all, in that case, I won't force it."
Dong Yu was overjoyed and held his hands in his hands: "Thank you so much! I wish you all your wishes will come true!"
The Taoist priest said: "My little brother just said that we have no chance of victory in this matter. Why do you wish us that our wishes will come true?"
Dong Yu said: "It's just a casual remark."
The Taoist priest said: "I see that this little brother of yours is so smart, would you be willing to help me with some ideas?"
Liu Xiaoqi coughed: "Didn't I ask you to go back to the house and pack your things?"
Dong Yu ignored him, tilted his head and thought for a while: "Unless you start from scratch like Zhou Xiaolan. I just don't know if you have her ability."
The old man and the Taoist priest looked at each other and said, "Zhou Xiaolan...do you know her, little brother?"
"I don't know him." Dong Yu said, "It's quite famous."
The old man asked, "How did you hear about her, little brother?" He looked sideways at Liu Xiaoqi.
Dong Yu asked in a low voice: "Brother Qi, why is he looking at you?"
"How do I know?" Liu Xiaoqi was confused, "I don't know Zhou Xiaolan."
The old man wondered: "Don't Mr. Qi know Zhou Xiaolan?"
Liu Xiaoqi said inexplicably: "I am from the capital city, and I am across the sea from the Lord Zhou. How can we meet each other?"
The old man exchanged glances with the Taoist priest again: "Zhou Xiaolan is very famous in the green forest?"
"It's not the green forest, it's the whole world." Dong Yu said, "Zhou Xiaolan was originally a fisherman from Qiongzhou, because she accidentally tasted the cocoa tea brought to Qiongzhou by Western businessmen and loved the taste. The country of Java, where the cocoa tea was produced, was occupied by Westerners, so I
North Korea couldn't get the goods. So she went to sea and became a pirate. In two or three years, she became a pirate leader, led people to capture Java and became the empress. Today, the cocoa tea in our world is extremely expensive and is still in short supply. It is all supplied by other countries.
To seize the country just for the sake of food, I don’t know if it is unprecedented or unprecedented.”
The old man was shocked! After thinking for a long time, he asked: "Mr. Qi, have you ever heard of a person named Zhou Damei?"
Liu Xiaoqi said: "I've heard of her! Isn't she the eldest princess of Java? She said she came from Qiongzhou a few years ago."
"They..." The old man was stunned.
After a long time, the Taoist sighed: "The trees fell down and the hozens scattered, and the birds that had eaten all their food fell into the forest. It was so tight."
Dong Yu said: "I heard that the descendants of Zhu Ming live in seclusion in Fujian and are safe and sound so far. There is nothing wrong with that. If you are not willing to do so, you can also imitate the Qiongzhou fisherwoman. After all, sea ships are now easy to buy. It is uncomfortable to fall from a high place. Think about Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen."
The Taoist priest's eyes suddenly lit up: "Little brother, do you know who Zhou Xiaolan is?"
Dong Yu was stunned for a moment: "The rumors only say that she is an ordinary fisherman."
Liu Xiaoqi said: "I heard that she is not from Qiongzhou, but from Chen State."
The old man was overjoyed: "Chen Guoren?!"
Liu Xiaoqi nodded and said, "She is a female guard from a merchant's family, and she went to Qiongzhou with her master to do business." The old man grinned with joy. Liu Xiaoqi glanced at him inexplicably, and then said, "Her master is asking for Qiongzhou."
After staying for a few days without a concubine, the Qiongzhou woman couldn't find a good-looking woman, so she wanted to take her into his house. She didn't want to, so she ran away. Later, her master returned to Chen State, and she stayed in Qiongzhou to fish."
The old man had just smiled like a skinny Maitreya Buddha, and suddenly froze. For a long time, he still didn't believe it: "Escaped? Because the master wanted to take her into the house?"
"That's what is said on the green forest road over in Qiongzhou." Liu Xiaoqi said, "Her master has been searching randomly in Qiongzhou for a few days, so it's okay if he can't find it."
"Then how is her master now?"
"Who knows, he's probably still a merchant." Liu Xiaoqi said, "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Zhou Xiaolan has become the head of a country. Maybe she has to thank her master for forcing her away.
Otherwise, she might still be a nursing home nurse."
The old man stayed for a long time and murmured: "The master wanted to take away her great dignity, but she actually ran away? What a traitor!"
Liu Xiaoqi said coolly: "If it weren't for her rebelliousness, where would we be able to eat cocoa tea? We have to thank her."
Dong Yu also said: "That's right! The cocoa tea is very fragrant, thanks to her, and thanks to her lustful master." The old man was furious, and just when he opened his mouth, Dong Yu rushed to say, "Don't be angry!" and pointed at himself.
nose, "I am just an ordinary citizen, and this is what the common people think. Cocoa tea is a real thing, and it tastes sweet when it is cold. Even though Zhou Xiaolan is a runaway slave, we will support her if she can bring a supply of cocoa tea."
.What does her master have to do with us! I am not her master. Between morality and the good, at least seven out of ten people will choose the good. Don’t blame the people for not being righteous. How many of them have read the books of sages? I don’t know if I don’t read.
Our moral principles are extremely tight. We are thieves in the forest, don’t talk about loyalty with us, we won’t accept that!”
The two men were silent for a long time, and the old man sighed. The Taoist asked: "Do you know how Chen Guo is doing now?"
Dong Yu said: "It is quite good in a small country. King Chen is good at governing the country, and he also went to Japan to rob. But he has no ambition. He was obviously the first to attack Japan, but he came back after taking the money. Baba gave up the territory to
King Wu, King Yan and others." The Taoist shook his head gently. Everyone in the room suddenly became speechless.
On the other side, Jia Gui returned to the house and had just tidied up a few times when someone knocked on the door. She casually shouted "Please come in" and saw the old woman who was at the entrance of Bajing Palace yesterday pushing the door open and walking in. Jia Gui was stunned for a while.
, said: "You really don't look like the green forest lady." The old woman said a blessing to her, and Jia Gui hurriedly returned the favor.
The old woman shed tears and said: "I don't care about this old face. I want to ask the girl to help save my man."
Jia Gui pursed his lips and said: "Old man, why did you save him? Doesn't he have a big wife? If he had you in his heart, how could he let you suffer in the mountains for so many years?"
The old woman lowered her head and said, "There is nothing he can do about marrying that woman..."
Jia Gui blinked: "Did his parents force him to marry?"
The old woman sighed: "Although it's not exactly the same, it's almost the same."
Jia Gui snorted: "I have no ability! I can't even make the decision to marry my wife. This man is so incompetent, so don't worry about him."
The old woman murmured: "But I miss him, only him. He can't marry me as the main wife, so he can be the second wife. He loves another sister the most, so it would be nice if he could care about me. I advised him not to fight for the family property.
He refused to listen. I know that men all have ambitions." She said slowly, "It's too risky, too risky."
Jia Gui held her chin and nodded: "I understand. Your husband has cheated on at least three women. One is his first wife, and he married her even though he didn't like her; one is you, and you like him and he treats you well; the other is his most beloved wife.
The concubine you like will inevitably be bullied by his eldest wife. This man is really not worthy of your concern... Auntie, there are three-legged toads in the world. Toads are hard to find, but there are so many two-legged men. After all these years
Well, you might as well like another man."
The old woman was startled, shook her head and said, "No. He is the only one in my heart. No matter how he treats me, I only miss him."
Jia Gui shrugged: "No wonder I sent you a message, probably because neither of them can believe it."
The old woman suddenly smiled, and her smile was very lively and beautiful. "You know, the one he trusts the most is me!" Jia Gui gave her a pitying look. The old woman said, "I don't think men can understand such thoughts. Girl.
, you are a girl, you must understand! Women all over the world are infatuated, and only women know women’s hearts."
Jia Gui bit her lip and said after a while: "I can understand, but I don't support it." The old woman was stunned. Jia Gui breathed out, "What's the saying about 'all women in the world are infatuated'?
It must have been written by a man who couldn't marry a wife. It was written by the same author as the one who wrote the comment "Poor Scholar Meets a Gorgeous Ghost and Fox Demon". I am incompetent, so I daydream and hope that a wonderful woman will fall from the sky.
Come on, don’t do anything but just be nice to them. I believe there are not many women like you, aunt. Look, why isn’t your man’s eldest wife infatuated? His favorite little wife must not be infatuated either, otherwise he wouldn’t
He will go to her instead of you. Madam, he doesn’t trust you, he knows you are stupid. If he doesn’t use you, who will he use?”
The old woman shed tears again: "I don't know how he survived after being trapped by the gangsters for so many years!"
Jia Gui said: "You have survived for so many years, haven't you? If you can survive, why can't he?"
The old woman immediately said: "How can I compare with him!"
Jia Gui said: "Why can't we compare? Are we all human? And you are still a woman. Theoretically, men have better physical strength than women and can bear it better."
The old woman said: "He has a distinguished status!"
Jia Gui shrugged: "What kind of young master is he? When he comes to the bandits' den, he can't talk about anything valuable or not."
The old woman looked at her: "Young girl really won't help me?"
Jia Guiqi asked: "Why should I help you?"
The old woman suddenly pulled out a dagger and put it against her chest, which startled Jia Gui. She said with tears in her eyes: "If you don't help me, girl, my old woman will die in front of you!"
Jia Gui hurriedly said: "Can you please wait a moment? I haven't finished packing my things yet. If blood splashes on my things, it will be difficult to wash them."
The old woman was stunned: "You... have such a hard heart..."
Jia Gui said inexplicably: "I am a female thief in the green forest. I have killed people and set fires. Do you still expect me to be innocent and kind? Have you found the wrong person?" As he said this, he kept cleaning up his hands and feet.
The old woman looked at her blankly for a long time and said: "Girl, don't try to coax me, you are definitely not a female thief in the forest."
Jia Gui didn't look back and said, "Believe it or not." Then he kept silent and soon put the bag on his back. He looked at the old woman and smiled brightly, "Okay, I'm leaving! What do you like to do?
I don't care!" He hummed a little tune and went outside. The old woman sat in her room without moving.
When Jia Gui went outside, she saw Liu Mingyi pulling at the door frame of the main room, and Uncle Yang and others inside were scratching at each other, and asked: "Have you not packed your luggage yet? I am the only one who is honest."
Liu Xiaoqi raised his head, smiled, clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, we have to leave. See you later with green mountains and green waters."
The old man said coldly: "Do you think we can still leave?"
Jia Gui blinked, pulled Liu Mingyi's little arm and walked in: "There might be a fight, so let's just follow them!"
The Taoist priest said to Liu Mingyi: "Little girl, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you a little bit."
Liu Mingyi blinked and saw the uncertainty on her uncle's face. She turned around and rushed towards Yang Erbo, hugging his arm and saying nothing. Yang Erbo narrowed his eyes and suddenly kicked a table away. The table did not face anyone, but towards the window.
Suddenly, the window was smashed to pieces with a bang. Suddenly, countless people could be seen surrounded in the dark outside, with weapons shining in their palms.
Dong Yu went to the window to take a look and said: "They are not bandits, they are serious soldiers. They are from the Qin State."
"I'm telling you." Liu Xiaoqi also looked towards the window, "Their Taoist temple is so small, and the Taoist priests don't look like soldiers. How can they possibly raise so many soldiers?"
Jia Gui said "Wow": "Can I guess that someone in their den of thieves is a general in Qin? Is he an official bandit again? There are too many official bandits these days..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard two "bang bang" sounds, and the Taoist priest and the old man in the room each received a shot. Yang Erbo jumped up and attacked the old man, and Liu Xiaoqi pounced on the Taoist priest. Yang Erbo and the old man could only fight with two moves.
, Liu Xiaoqi had already pinched the Taoist priest's neck and sneered: "Master Zhiwei, there is no need to beat him. You are more useful as a hostage than our lord."
The Taoist smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't work, really."
