Peerless Pirates

The Second Young Master deeply agreed with Mr. Lu's statement: "Mr. Lu really sees things through. Our Daqi Dynasty borders Dajin, Xixia and Shu. Border defense is extremely important. My father does not dare to do anything casually, but that man borrowed the border defense

In the name of the Qi Dynasty, nearly half of the national treasury was embezzled every year, and the army was gradually eroded, which made my father feel deeply powerless. Although our Qi Dynasty has been cultivating for many years and its national power has become much stronger, the Dajin in the north has a vast area and extraordinary national power.

; After Xixia occupied the Guanzhong granary, the country's power was also booming; Sichuan was originally called the land of abundance, with rich products, and the military strength of the Shu Kingdom was also impressive. Therefore, all the heroes in the world were willing to start the war lightly, but the small

Tests of the scale of the force have never stopped. Within a few years, there may be a war sweeping the world. If there is a loss of border defense, just relying on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River may not be able to stop the attack of Daijin and Xixia, not to mention that we must be prepared at all times

Shu is stabbing you in the back."

Mr. Lu nodded and said: "The reason why the Patriarch asked us to unveil these secrets is to organize and train the new army as soon as possible, to guard against family thieves internally, to defend against national humiliation externally, and to prepare for controlling the army as soon as possible. Although the Patriarch and that man cooperated a few years ago,

They were very close and worked together to achieve great things. However, in the past two years, discord has gradually developed. The head of the family had to take precautions in advance."

The second young master said: "It is said that that man is a childless person, and his relationship with the Holy One is so close. If he does not assist the Holy One wholeheartedly, why does he go against my father?"

Mr. Lu said: "In the eyes of that person, I'm afraid he has the same idea as the young master, thinking that the head of the family is deliberately going against him. However, for a person of that level, no one knows what the specific thoughts are. The second young master reads history books, doesn't he know "

"The Biography of Liu Penzi"?"

The second young master thought for a while, and couldn't help but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he exclaimed: "Things can't be so pessimistic, can they?"

It turns out that the "Liu Penzi" mentioned by Mr. Lu is also a very interesting figure in history. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The famous Green Forest and Red Eyebrow Uprising broke out. Fan Chong, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army at that time, wanted to

A descendant of the royal family surnamed Liu was used as a cover. After a search, more than 70 descendants of the Liu surname were found, including Liu Penzi. After drawing lots, the 15-year-old Liu Penzi was lucky enough to be selected.

, was made emperor by Fan Chong. When Boss Fan found Liu Penzi, he was herding cattle. He had disheveled hair, bare feet, tattered clothes, and a whip in his hand. Boss Fan led a group of people to congratulate him, and Liu Penzi was so frightened that he screamed on the spot.

Crying loudly and arguing that I still have to go herd the cows.

Seeing how nervous the second young master was, Mr. Lu waved his hand and said: "Of course that person won't do anything at the moment. But when it comes to status and power, the bloody battle is far more bloody than a fight on the battlefield. The second young master also knows that in five years,

Isn't what happened in the past a clear proof? Although there is only one brother left in the Holy Emperor today, there are dozens of descendants of Taizu. What if that person really wants to covet the throne, or he can support him casually from among Taizu's descendants.

It is not impossible to establish a 'Liu Penzi'. Of course, this is just the worst plan, but we must be on guard!"

The second young master wiped his sweat and said, "I thought I was far more resourceful than my peers. But when I heard what Mr. Lu said today, I suddenly became enlightened. No wonder my father asked Mr. Lu to take charge of the 'Dark Eagle'. He really has a much better overall view of me."

.”

Mr. Lu said: "Second Young Master, you don't have to be too humble. As for specific matters, Second Young Master's planning is so rigorous that even I am impressed. Just to plan the affairs of the world, Second Young Master still needs to ask the head of the family for advice. In fact, what I just said

These are all things the head of the family has taken into consideration, I just have some clues."

The second young master nodded and fell silent. After a while, the second young master regained his composure and asked: "In this case, this secret is even more important. We left ten people to search and monitor by Maling Lake. Are there any

Nothing found?"

Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything. Those who went up the mountain or to the lake were all ordinary villagers."

The second young master said: "Judging from the location of the treasure, there are two villages where the elderly are most likely to know the situation back then. One is Wutang Village, because from Mizhou to Maling Lake, you must take the valley on the north side of this village.

; The other is Songjiazhuang, which is only separated by a mountain from the Maling Lake treasure location. Tomorrow we will inquire about the relevant situation of these two villages in Shishan Town before taking action. " Mr. Lu said, "Second Young Master is so worried about such an arrangement.

Okay, the people on the other side of Maling Lake will withdraw first, and it won’t be too late to take action after we find out more about it.”

The second young master smiled and said: "Dark Eagle's people are under the control of Mr. Lu. This time Mr. Lu is in charge. I just have a small idea."

Mr. Lu also laughed: "Second Young Master's little idea helped a lot. With Second Young Master accompanying me, I don't have to worry too much." After that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Our young master Song lives in a mountain village, so he naturally does not understand the general trend of the world. What he wants most now is to exercise well. On the early morning of August 14th, young master Song got up early again and started exercising.

After breakfast, Song Si gave Xiaoping a couple of silver and asked her to ride on the black donkey and go to Shishan Town with Song Xiaosi, the long-term worker. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so of course she has to buy some mooncakes, water and wine, etc., to prepare for the festival. Xiaoping

Ping is smart in doing things, and Song Xiaosi is honest and reliable. The old man is relatively at ease with them. Although a lot of silver was mined in Da Qi Dynasty and entered the circulation field, the price of silver was extremely high. In "Jin Ping Mei", Ximen Qing bought a

The girl only spent 6 taels of silver, which was in the late Northern Song Dynasty of the previous dynasty. It was similar in the Daqi Dynasty. One tael of silver was equivalent to regular money, which was a thousand cash, which was enough to buy a lot of things.

After the arrangements were made, Song Shi came to the east courtyard with the iron rod. It turned out that after thinking hard, Mr. Song finally remembered the Ten-Style Vajra Rod Technique. He decided to teach it to his grandson first. Several tricks are better than one trick.

Not strong. Zhu and Xiaoping were still driven to the east courtyard, and Song Zheng was pulled by the old man to stand in the courtyard.

Mr. Song stood up with the iron rod to his side, spread his legs a little, and looked at Song Zheng with some pride: "Zheng'er, how are you doing?"

"This is?" Song Zheng looked at the arrogant old man and suddenly understood: "This is the iron rod you used back then? The weapon you used was an iron rod!"

Mr. Song laughed loudly: "Zheng'er is so smart. It's just the diamond stick that grandpa used on the battlefield. You stay away and I'll show you my hands." As he said that, the old man picked up the iron rod, grabbed one end of the stick with both hands, and drank.

With a cry of "Split Huashan", the iron rod hit the ground and cracked a brick. Then, the iron rod circled over the head and swept it out, shouting: "Sweep the army across the country."

"After all, the old man was old. As this move swept through thousands of troops, the old man was carried around half a circle by the iron rod, then staggered and almost fell to the ground. If his grandson hadn't been standing beside him, the stick in his hand might have been able to

Take off your hands and fly out.

Song Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man. The old man blushed a little and said, "I didn't see clearly just now. The ground was a little slippery." Song Zheng felt happy in his heart: This old man will get old when he gets old. Everyone gets old sometimes, so don't stop.

He was trying to be a hero. However, what Song Zheng said was: "Grandpa, be careful. It's not good to move around just after eating. How about we take a break?"

"Okay, let's take a rest. It's really hot today." Mr. Song echoed. Song Zheng took the iron rod and observed it carefully. The iron rod was about an inch thick, seven feet long, and weighed about twenty kilograms. Song Zheng

Zheng gave it a try and found it was quite heavy.

The grandfather and grandson rested for a while and stood still in the yard again. Song Zheng was afraid that the old man would get into trouble with the iron rod, so he said, "Grandpa, why don't you use a wooden stick to teach me?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Song felt relieved.

:Why is this kid so considerate? Don’t tell me, this vajra stick is really too hard to use.

While Mr. Song was teaching Song Zheng's half-hearted stick skills, Xiaoping and Song Xiaosi had already rushed eastward to Yingzui Pass. Three or four miles past this mountain pass was Shishan Town. Song Xiaosi was hustling in front, sitting in the dark.

Xiaoping on the donkey was humming a tune leisurely. A quarter of an hour later, the two entered the town. Shishan Town is a famous town in Ju County, with thousands of households. Since tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets are particularly lively, selling cooking cakes.

There was an endless stream of people selling straw sandals and nuts. Xiao Ping asked Xiao Si to stop at a rouge and gouache shop. She wanted to buy a box of good gouache. This was Wu's personal instructions.

After buying the gouache and exchanging the money, Xiaoping followed Xiaosi to the wine shop. There was a vertical banner hanging in front of the wine shop with a big word "wine" on it and "grandson" embroidered at the bottom. It was the most famous name in the town.

Sunjia Winery. Two large wine jars are placed facing the street. A waiter stands behind the wine jars and is busy pouring wine. Xiaosi often comes to town to buy wine for Mr. Song, and the waiter in the wine shop recognizes him.

Seeing him coming, he smiled and said, "Fourth brother, how much are you going to fight?" Song Xiaosi said, "As usual, fight to the full."

"Okay, our wine is the best in this town. It costs two cents a spoonful. You, a big wine gourd, can hold thirty spoons." The waiter said and put the funnel on the mouth of the gourd.

Start pouring wine inside.

When Xiaoping lowered her head to count the coins, a voice came from the side: "Waiter, get two kilograms of wine and drink it inside." Xiaoping took a closer look and saw four people coming next to them. The one who spoke was a thin old man in black clothes, and next to him was a thin old man in black clothes.

A young master, followed by two big men who looked like servants. The young master in front is really a good man: his long hair is tied back, his face is fair, and his eyes are smiling. He is wearing a white shirt and a green jade pendant hanging on his waist.

He was holding a white paper fan in his hand. When he saw Xiaoping sizing her up, he gave Xiaoping a friendly smile, turned around and entered the wine shop with the group.

Xiaoping had never seen such a person before, her face turned red, she quickly lowered her head, and then counted the copper coins, but she couldn't count them.

The waiter at the wine shop filled the gourd, poured another spoonful into a coarse porcelain bowl next to him, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you should also try this wine." Song Xiaosi seemed to have known it for a long time and did not say anything.

, raised his head and drank the wine, and licked the corner of his mouth in embarrassment. The waiter said: "How is it?" Xiao Si nodded naively. The waiter said: "Fourth brother, girl, you two go well, I'll go

Bring some wine inside."

Xiaoping looked inside and saw that the young man in white and the old man were sitting at the back, and the two servants were at another table. The young man in white seemed to be talking to the old man. Song Xiaosi said from the side: "Don't look.

I have to buy other things." Xiao Ping's face turned red, she lowered her head and walked away with Xiao Si.
