After all, the old masters of the Song family and the old masters of the Zheng family are elderly people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have walked on more bridges than the young people like Zheng Qing, so naturally they cannot be messed up just because of a few heroic words.
For a moment, the two looked at each other, obviously exchanging opinions.
The old man of the Zheng family nodded. What really touched him was naturally not these slogans and passion, but the fact that Li Cheng said. This village has only been harassed by sporadic bandits for decades, and it is a rare paradise in troubled times.
If you retreat in a panic from the village at this time, where can you hide? Even if you can find a place to hide from the wind and come back, not to mention what those bandits will do to the village, who can guarantee them
Will you not come again next time? Is it possible that you will have to drag your family and family away again at that time?
Some things, instead of constantly avoiding them, it is better to end them once and for all. Life and death are determined by destiny, and wealth is determined by heaven. Who among the people in these troubled times does not have a little bit of energy to fight for their lives?
"Brother, have you decided?" The old man of the Song family said with solemnity, and his title suddenly changed. It seemed that the moment he realized what Li Cheng was going to do, the relationship between him and Li Cheng no longer seemed like the same.
They are the patriarchs of two families that depend on each other, but they are two good brothers.
The old man of the Zheng family did not speak, but looked at Li Cheng with bright eyes, obviously he also wanted to ask the same question.
Li Cheng's eyes swept over the two of them and said in a deep voice: "If this secret is not told to the next generation, do we old bones have to be taken to the ground? What's more, the bandits are coming this time. We have never been able to do it before.
I have never encountered it before. Even if we can escape this disaster, we are old bones, and we don’t know how long we can survive. If we simply let the young people know about it, we have accomplished our mission."
After a pause, Li Cheng's voice became a little lower, and he murmured: "We have traveled once in this world, and we cannot be forgotten by others."
"Okay!" The two old men nodded solemnly at the same time.
Li Cheng turned to look at the four of them who were a little confused: "You grew up in this village, but no one has ever told you the origin of this village. Why is there such a village in this barren mountain and sea of bamboos?"
"This..." Zheng Qing looked at Li Cheng in surprise, "Isn't this village always there?"
In his impression, he had grown up in a village since he was a child. Naturally, he had never imagined where the village came from and why there was such a village. If this question hadn't come from Li Cheng, I'm afraid Zheng Qing would have directly blocked it with "ridiculous words"
go back.
But now that this question comes from Li Cheng's mouth, even if Zheng Qing has a hundred courages, he can only obey.
Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "In addition to being close to the river, the place where this village is located is very far away from other villages. If it is not to escape from this troubled world, who would be willing to live in such an isolated place? Our village is really
It’s actually only fifty years old.”
Fifty years? Zheng Qing, Song Fei and others have not yet recovered what the meaning of fifty years means, but Li Xingchen has already quickly calculated in his mind that it is now 578 AD, and fifty years ago it was 528 AD. This year
Nian was not a big deal in Li Xingchen's mind, but immediately his pupils suddenly narrowed.
The year 528 AD was indeed a rare calm, but the next year, 529 AD, was the Northern Expedition of Chen Qingzhi, who will go down in history. This famous Nanliang general led his Qingqi to sweep across Heluo, and was invincible. There was even a rumor that "the famous master general Mo Zilao"
, the ballad of thousands of troops avoiding white robes.
Li Cheng said that it was less than fifty years ago, which is very consistent with 529 AD.
Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why he suddenly felt an inexplicable joy and nervousness. It wasn't just because he finally encountered a period of history that he was familiar with, but he immediately calmed himself down. With Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition,
The whole of Heluo and Lianghuai is really in a state of chaos, so a group of people may take refuge here at random, and it may not necessarily be related to the famous white-robed general, not to mention that Li Xingchen also remembers it clearly.
The White Robe Army had to retreat because they were outnumbered. They encountered a flash flood on the way. Only Chen Qing was able to return, so this village was even more impossible...
He shook his head as hard as he could. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to believe in the inexplicable premonition? After all, he was an out-and-out science student.
Li Cheng and the other two old men had slowly walked to one side of the wall. The three of them looked at each other and at the same time stretched out their hands to press a brick on the wall. The ordinary-looking brick suddenly dented slowly, and the original
The narrow walls slowly parted, and no one expected that there was a secret room. Li Cheng turned around and said in a deep voice: "This is not the first time for you guys to come to the ancestral hall. You must also know that there are only three people enshrined in the ancestral hall.
In addition to the family tablet, there is an unnamed tablet in the middle. I can tell you now..."
While talking, Li Xingchen and others had already entered the secret room, and the opened wall slowly closed.
"...That tablet is dedicated to the former Liang Zuowei General and the Dispatched Cavalry Attendant Chen Qingzhi." Li Cheng's voice echoed in the secret room, a bit dull, vibrating the walls and making a buzzing sound.
At this time, the minds of Li Xingchen and others were also buzzing. Zheng Qing and the others had not read much, but they had heard of this perhaps the most famous general in decades. Li Xingchen silently lamented that his premonition just now was not the same as this.
The truth is very close.
Because there was a long spear hanging on the wall right in front of them. A ray of sunlight poured in from the small hole above the wall and fell on the blade of the spear. The cold light flashed. Li Cheng slowly stepped forward.
, stretched out his hand and stroked the spear: "This is the spear used by the general that day, and we are the general's bodyguards, following the general from Jiangnan to Luoyang!"
Li Cheng's words fell to the ground, sonorous and powerful, and the old man of the Zheng family and the old man of the Song family suddenly straightened their backs and squinted their eyes slightly. Zheng Qing and Song Fei's backs were numb when they saw it. Li Yichen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
He could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from these three old men.
A man who will survive a hundred battles will survive a hundred battles, a man who will survive a hundred battles and survive!
But if Li Xingchen remembers correctly, it seems that Chen Qingzhi's White Robe Army was wiped out by a flash flood. How could there be three old men here who kept claiming to be White Robe Army soldiers, while they were holding
This long spear is called the spear used by Chen Qingzhi?
And how did it happen that a mere three people developed an entire village in fifty years?
Li Xingchen subconsciously looked at Li Cheng, while Zheng Qing and Song Fei also cast their eyes over. Obviously, they had the same questions as Li Xingchen.
And their questions don't stop here. Why do Li Cheng and others only have children when they are old? Why are there many women and children in the whole village, but there are so few men, especially middle-aged men who can be the pillars of support?
There are only a few, and most of them are young people of the same age as Li Xingchen.
