Three fast horses passed by. Although the leader was not dressed luxuriously, he did not look like an ordinary rich kid. The two horses behind him seemed to be carrying two servants.

In today's chaotic world, the leader who dared to walk outside with two servants must be brave and capable.

"My dear, look ahead!" One of the servants looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was just jumping out of the canyon and saw a pile of corpses. He couldn't help but exclaimed.

The man was named Wang Mi, the grandson of Wang Qi, the governor of Runan. Although they both had the surname Wang, their ancestral home was in Donglai. They had nothing to do with the Wang family of Langya, let alone a wealthy family.

Wang Mi's family originally lived in Luoyang. He was young and talented. Although his family background was not prominent in Luoyang, he was a famous knight-errant. His broad-minded personality made him make many friends in Luoyang, from the nobility to the people of all walks of life. He had no other hobbies on weekdays, and he liked to read all kinds of books.

However, due to his family background, he could not find a way to get a job until Luoyang was in chaos. However, he did not like any of the Sima family's princes, so he simply planned to spend all his family wealth and return to his ancestral land.

Liu Borgen, the magistrate of Donglai County in his ancestral land, was his best friend. He also had an ambition to pacify the chaotic world, but his family understood his own affairs. He was good at fighting but not a qualified king, and he was impatient with those nagging things. On the contrary, his friend Liu Borgen was quite talented and ruled a peaceful country, with great potential.

Therefore, it was a good deal for everyone, so he planned to go back to his ancestral land to trick Liu Borgen.

It was naturally inappropriate for him to come back alone, and the road was too unsafe. It happened that the court re-appointed the governor of Qingzhou, and Cheng Mu took office. He and his servants fell far behind, which was considered a convoy.

Who knew that when they were almost at Beihai County in Qingzhou, they found that Cheng Mu in front was intercepted and killed.

"My dear, my dear, let's go to the governor's mansion to report the news. I'm so scared." The servant was young and had never seen such a bloody scene before, so he panicked.

Wang Mi got off his horse and observed carefully along the way; "It was done by a team of cavalry, with a number of about 250 to 300 people. There are not many signs of moving corpses here, which means that the dead are all Cheng Mu's troops, and the cavalry team actually did not die much."

Seeing this, Wang Mi couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart: "I didn't expect that in addition to the Bingzhou cavalry and those Hu people, Qingzhou actually has such a powerful cavalry."

"My dear." The servant was about to cry, "Let's get to Qingzhou City as soon as possible."

Wang Mi ignored it and found Cheng Mu's carriage. He found that Cheng Mu was lying in front of the carriage with his head separated. His face was dull and blank, without fear or pain.

Wang Mi not only seemed to be well-read, but also had very good martial arts skills. When he saw the wound on the severed head, his eyes suddenly shrank: "He is a master."

He climbed onto the carriage and found a word "Shan" written in blood on the wall of the carriage.

He sneered: "This Cheng Mu is really stupid. He didn't know who killed him when he died. Instead, he suspected Shan Jian, but he didn't know that Shan Jian was the most pure son of aristocratic family and didn't know anything.

But who was so straightforward to kill Cheng Mu and put the blame on Shan Jian?

Could it be that someone around Shan Jian was very interested in the position of Qingzhou Mu?

Wang Mi thought for a while and shook his head. Those people were not strong enough in terms of family background. Even if they killed Cheng Mu, it would only muddy the water.

Getting on the horse again, Wang Mi took the two servants away from this red land. When the servant could no longer smell the blood, he finally came back and started to chatter: "My dear, you just saw for a long time, but did you catch the murderer?"

"No. "Wang Mi answered nonchalantly: "You think your master is a god."

The servant was a little disappointed. In his eyes, there was nothing his master couldn't do.

After dismissing the servant's curiosity, Wang Mi asked another servant: "Aliang, what do you think?"

Aliang and Wang Mi grew up together. They studied and practiced martial arts together. They were not servants, but were trained as family servants. Compared with servants who could only do trivial things, Aliang was naturally more favored by Wang Mi.

"I just checked. The horses, gold and silver, and money, silk and jewelry carried by Cheng Mu's troops were not moved at all. The thieves did not leave any items. It should not be for robbery." Aliang said.

Wang Mi rolled his eyes: "Nonsense."

Aliang said: "The wounds on those troops were different. The weapons of the thieves are probably not uniform."

"Well, this is a key point. "Wang Mi said: "It is true that the Qingzhou government soldiers have various types of soldiers, but those bandits are obviously cavalry, so they should use horse halberds."

"So they are not government soldiers, but miscellaneous troops." Aliang asserted.

"Ha, it seems that Shan Jian is really in trouble this time." Wang Mi said indifferently.

"Why don't you take advantage of this and get a job next to the Qingzhou governor." Aliang suggested.

"No, Shan Jian is a guy who is arrogant. I can't stand my temper because I am used to being idle. Besides, he will know about Cheng Mu's death sooner or later. It's not a big merit for me to report the news, and I'm afraid it won't work as a token of surrender." Wang Mi said: "So let's go home according to the old plan and take refuge with my good friend Liu Borgen, so that I can have a meal."

Gaomi Guo Mansion.

Although Guo Mansion was built from scratch, after more than two years of hard construction, it is no longer the shabby appearance of the day.

When You Hongyin chose the site, he took into account defense, geographical location, transportation, land size and other factors. Although he called it a fort, it was no less than building a small city.

There were sentry towers built at intervals around Guobao, and the fertile land was surrounded by high walls.

The entire Guobao was divided into the inner and outer forts, with two layers of walls and dozens of sentry towers. A large number of farmlands were included in the defense range of the sentry towers. The farmlands were neatly divided by ditches, which looked neat and rich.

In the center of the inner fort was You Hongyin's Guo Mansion. The area was not large, but the building was a very novel two-story building. There were rows of houses built around the Guo Mansion, like stars guarding the bright moon.

In addition to these buildings, there was a large cement-cast parade ground in the southeast corner of the inner fort, which was specially used for training troops, and there were many novel training equipment displayed around it.

You Hongyin rode his horse straight into the small building, which was said to be his residence. In fact, this was his first time to the Guo Mansion.

There was no way. He had never planned to live here. The most important role of Guobao was to train his troops and serve as the operation center of his workshops.

He suddenly came to see this time, mainly because his apprentice had returned.

Shen Yuan was one of his disciples. This disciple was mediocre in martial arts and mediocre in scriptures, but he was good at painting.

So You Hongyin cultivated his drawing ability.

Of course, it was not just painting, but also "map surveying".

In fact, Shen Yuan was the first person to arrive in Qingzhou among all the people. Over the years, he has been wandering outside, drawing maps with another disciple Yu Chaozong. Of course, he was not drawing maps with the court, but was responsible for building another organization with different functions from Heming, Hongyan.

If Heming is responsible for investigating the affairs of the high-ranking court, then Hongyan is collecting the customs and wars of the world. Many people in the Hongyan organization also serve as traveling merchants.

Of course, both organizations are in their infancy, and he, as the governor of Gaomi County, cannot afford to support many people. However, as his power and territory grow, I believe that the two organizations will play a greater role in the future.

Shen Yuan came back with detailed maps of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yizhou.

Maps are now considered strategic weapons, so You Hongyin will not take them all out for the time being. Although the governor's mansion has long been impregnable, he will not test the price of betrayal.

Therefore, he came to Guo's mansion to meet Shen Yuan and Yu Chaozong.

Before he got up and went back to the governor's mansion, Hu Gui and Hu Wei also came back with their troops.

So far, only one of the disciples he trained in his early years is still away.

"Although your senior brother has never returned, it is rare for the five of us to get together. On the Lantern Festival, prepare a banquet. Today I will accompany you to drink happily."

You Hongyin was actually very happy. Although the apprentices in this life have not been taught for a long time, they have all become talents and have a good relationship with him.

Thinking back to Lin Huai, the unfilial son, he felt a tightness in his heart. It was obvious that it was not his education level that was problematic, but that Lin Huai was spoiled by his uncles.

"Now that you have some foundation, what are you going to do next?" Chen Xiquan asked with great interest. °SiTu°Net°Document°Sharing°and°Online°Reading°

Chapter 190: The Elegance of Celebrities (Seventeen)

What are your plans for the future?

You Hongyin thought for a while.

"If you raise the banner of rebellion directly, you will probably fail, and you will face too much pressure when you are too weak." You Hongyin said.

"But if there is no banner, there will probably be few people who come to join you." Chen Xiquan said.

Although Chen Xiquan is a modern man, he most yearns for the Three Kingdoms era when heroes emerged in troubled times. However, when he really put himself in the troubled times, he clearly saw that he was not a man who could dominate one side or unify the world.

Seeing You Hongyin's ambition, he was naturally happy to experience the process of hegemony together, and he was grateful in his heart. This so-called "tailor-made, on-site guidance, and personal demonstration" life winner training course really provides thoughtful services.

"As long as the real political achievements are released, people with discerning eyes can naturally see it. If they can't see it, they have limited ability and don't need to care about it." You Hongyin said: "But Gaomi is indeed located in a remote area, and I'm afraid that the news will be difficult to spread, so it's urgent to become famous."

"Then how to become famous?" Chen Xiquan asked: "If you continue to become famous with literature, it's not bad."

"Literary fame can indeed attract many nobles to join, but it's not what I want. What I need is fame among the people, and it will be more convenient to recruit soldiers in the future." You Hongyin said: "And this point can only be spread by caravans and wild geese."

In troubled times, it's needless to say that soldiers are the most important to dominate.

"It seems that you are very good at public opinion wars." Chen Xiquan said.

After dinner with several disciples, You Hongyin stayed in Guobao for one night, and then met Shen Yuan and Yu Chaozong alone.

"Master." Shen Yuan was older than You Hongyin, but he had already been impressed, so he always called him Master: "I haven't seen you for two years. Master has managed Gaomi like a paradise here. Yuan is really happy."

"You flatter me as soon as you come back. Tell me, but you want to ask for mercy." Shen Yuan has the most eccentric personality among the few people, which may be related to the fact that he has always been the one who is taken care of.

Shen Yuan and Yu Chaozong were originally cousins. They were separated from their families during the war. They were still young at that time and suffered a lot from wandering around. Yu Chaozong, who was slightly older, had always taken care of him and protected his wife. After that, he developed his current temperament.

Later, the two brothers lived in Guangling, where they starved to death, so they cruelly planted straw tags on themselves and sold themselves into slavery. It was bought by You Hongyin.

Shen Yuan had outstanding talents in painting and mathematics, so he was trained by You Hongyin to become a cartographer. He also liked to do this kind of thing. Yu Chaozong had gone through hardships and was well-versed in the world. Although he respected and appreciated the teacher You Hongyin, what he valued most was still his cousin Shen Yuan.

You Hongyin simply asked him to accompany Shen Yuan to travel around the world, establish Hongyan, and collect local customs and folk affairs.

"How can I say that I am wearing a high hat? Master, I think that I am too philistine." Shen Yuan came up with a smile: "I just want to take a half-year vacation. My cousin has been running with me all these years, and I have to worry about Hongyan. It was a lot of hardship.”

"Little slippery man." You Hongyin laughed; "It turns out that I came here to ask for a reward for your cousin." He pondered for a moment: "The Hongyan matter cannot be suspended, but you two have indeed made great achievements, so we must not deny the reward."

Yu Chaozong immediately saluted and said, "My lord, don't listen to Yuan'er's insistence. He
