The people sent by Princess Tangshuo couldn't even find Wei Lang's body. They only said that the body had been destroyed by the Donghu people. Ran Ran felt guilty, and after having the twelve assassins who lost Wei buried, he stayed there day after day. In the Duke's Mansion, I can't go out anymore. Although I have relatives in the clan accompanying me day and night, I still feel uneasy.
At that time, Ijige's position as the county king in Donghu had been consolidated, and he used severe torture to rule Donghu. Under high pressure, the righteous people of various tribes in Donghu made it difficult for them to rise up, and most of them disappeared. On the contrary, the undetectable things before the storm appeared. calm.
Most of the people in the main tribe of Shiwei who were related to the assassins of Shiwei, fortunately the high priest sensed it quickly and sent someone to notify them, and most of them had a chance to escape. However, the old, weak, women and children in the tribe of Shiwei, and many injured soldiers of Shiwei could not be transferred. , the high priest did not want to abandon them and left. The women and children of the more than 200 tribes were the treasures of Shiwei. It was not suitable for the children to travel long distances. Moreover, Donghu had imposed martial law, and the location of Shiwei's main tribe had also been discovered. Everyone was gone. Hiding everywhere, they simply faced it together with the Shiwei tribe.
Shiwei sent assassins to assassinate King Donghu, and openly became enemies of the Southern Wei garrison, committing a major crime. Most of the nobles of Shiwei were implicated in the crime, or were executed or exiled from the army. Most of the women were slaves and prostitutes. This matter is in the There was a great uproar among the Donghu tribes, and it took half a year before it gradually subsided.
King Donghu was very angry when he could not find Wei Lang. No one sent out every day could find him, as if he had disappeared from the world.
Wei Lang didn't know anything about the outside world, but after two years on Snake Island, his magic skills became more and more sophisticated, and he was already on a par with the girl in white without using her magic skills.
Hatred was weighing in his heart day by day, and he wanted to go to Donghu to assassinate Ijige and recapture Shiwei.
The girl in white said: "You have practiced very quickly in the past two years. My master is right. You are indeed a hero among people. But you are too impatient. Don't you think a gentleman will take revenge? It is not too late in ten years. At the moment, the king of Donghu County is in full power." At this time, in my opinion, we should be patient for a little longer and wait for the opportunity."
He repeatedly dissuaded Wei Lang.
"Don't I know this truth? I just saw Shi Wei in dire straits, and that bastard was brutal and killing innocent people indiscriminately. I really couldn't control my anger and wanted to cut him into pieces!"
The girl in white turned around and sat on a tall tree, lowered her head and said: "I heard the news from the blue bird the day before yesterday, and heard a few stories about the King of Donghu. Let me tell you, you will know that Donghu's layout is tight now.
"The first one is the story of Donghu Xincheng. He was the prime minister personally promoted by the king of Donghu County, and he valued him very much. The civil and military officials in the dynasty saw that the king valued him, so they all went to serve him. Therefore, there were cars in front of the prime minister's house every day. The horse is noisy. This man has no other hobbies except poetry and calligraphy. Do you know what he likes most? Writing on the back of a woman. After returning from the morning, he found a few more beauties. By the end of the day, The next day, when this man went to court, the king of Donghu suddenly asked him: "What do you usually do for fun at home?" He was honest, kowtowed and said: "I have no other hobbies, I just like to write." The king of Donghu said with a smile. :'I heard that you just wrote a calligraphy yesterday, is this true?' When the new prime minister heard this, he was so frightened that he kowtowed and said yes. Soon the king killed all his concubines. The reason is that he dared to write Tengger's dedication on his concubine. Everyone in the court now believes in polytheism and the Nine Gods, but he actually violated it. After this incident, the civil and military officials in the court were all frightened, and they talked privately, Also be cautious and never dare to discuss government affairs."
After finishing speaking, Wei Lang said: "He has a lot of eyes."
The girl in white said: "Does this need to be said? Now Donghu has his eyes and ears everywhere. It will definitely not be as easy as before for you to enter Liangzhou."
"From what you tell me, this is good news."
She didn't understand and said: "Ijige is very guarded, so why is this good news?"
Wei Lang explained, "He even doubts his own ministers and can't believe it. There is no one else around to help him. Isn't he truly a 'lonely man'? What's there to be afraid of as a single man?"
The girl in white thought for a while, understood what Wei Lang meant, and said, "That's what you said." Then she continued, "He is really suspicious and wary of the people around him. Even the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty don't believe it, and he is even more suspicious of the methods of the officials of the previous dynasty." Cool. Some of the frontier officials of the previous dynasty were withdrawn, replaced, and killed. Everyone in the Donghu nobles was in danger, and even the civil servants could not avoid it."
Wei Lang sneered and said: "The more cruel he is, the more cowardly he appears. I don't have many days to see him. It's almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I remember when we were still in the Southern Wei Dynasty, Brother Ji invited me to have a drink. This tenth day of the first lunar month Five, I am alone. I don’t know when and how long it will take for me to take revenge. I think that others can reunite for the holidays, but I am trapped here surrounded by water."
The girl ate a grape and said, "What do you want to do?"
Wei Lang said he wanted to leave.
After hearing what he said, the girl in white sighed, and then said: "You are really helpless. I originally thought that as long as I kept you for a little longer, you would forget your hatred and play with me for a while, but since you If you don’t want to, I’ll teach you the magic I know so that I can help you.”
From this day on, the spiritual power Wei Lang accumulated was not only Shi Wei's spell, but also the unknown girl's divine power.
Her seal technique has something in common with that of the high priest, but the seal technique of the high priest is mostly defensive, but the seal technique of this girl is an offensive technique, changing from the inside to the outside.
Before leaving, the girl once again tried to persuade her: "The bad guys in this world are invincible. Unless we uproot the greed in people's hearts, who can do that?"
"There is an old saying: A real man does his work regardless of success or failure. Even if I fail to take revenge this time, it can be considered that I have done my part for the soldiers who lost their lives in vain." After a pause, Wei Lang's eyes flashed: "Finally, In my life, I will also save Si Wei."
The girl in white thought for a long time and said, "Is what you just said about the great righteousness that Ji Liyou said?"
"He told you?"
"Yes, I told him that I could keep you, but he said it was absolutely impossible. You would not stay. Even if I promised you immortality and no harm, you would not live here because of the righteousness in your heart. I am driving you forward, but the great righteousness you talk about is not to capture the territory, occupy the mountains and rivers, and win the world?"
"I am a member of Su Wei, and I will do my best to seek welfare for Su Wei. Success does not belong to me, but I must ensure that success or failure does not belong to me either."
"Then you want to go to Donghu now?"
Wei Lang shook his head, "Isn't this place closer to Southern Wei?"
"Are you going to Southern Wei?"
Wei Lang didn't answer her, but the answer was already obvious.
A few days later, Wei Lang went to the Liangzhu area and went to sea again.
Wei Lang left, leaving the girl in white to have nothing to do on Snake Island. Rixi watched Wei Lang practice. Not only did he perfect his sword skills, but he also improved the skills she taught him, making him better than her beginner. At these times, it’s even more powerful.
A year flies by in an instant.
One day, Tumo came back and happily told the storyteller: "The shopkeeper is back."
The storyteller put down the roasted meat in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "Take these back quickly."
Tumo smiled and took away all the dishes on the table.
The storyteller lay back in the room again and changed into plain clothes.
Ji Liyou smelled the smell in the room as soon as he came in. He just ignored it and saw that he was pretending to be asleep, so he said, "Since he is asleep, I will come back later."
He coughed twice and pretended to wake up.
"You're back?"
Ji Li said worriedly, "Yes, after rescuing Wei Lang, something happened on the way, which delayed us for a while, but it doesn't matter, it has been dealt with."
The storyteller continued to cough, "I have been bedridden since you left. I have been ill on and off for more than a year."
Ji Liyou just smiled and said nothing.
"You do not trust me?"
Ji Liyou ignored the smell of the food in the room, shook his wrist and said, "Sir, he seems to have lost weight, and his bones are swollen."
The storyteller lowered his head slightly, unable to see the expression on his face.
"Did you have a good meal?"
The storyteller said, "I am a god and do not eat the smoke and fire of the world."
Ji Liyou said yes, "I'm hungry and I asked someone to cook for me. Do you want to eat with me?"
"Get up now." He lifted the quilt.
Ji Liyou didn't find it strange to see that the more he lived, the more he looked like a child. He had always been the opposite of other people. He used to have great supernatural powers and pretended to be old, which only scared his father. He saw through it at a young age. His tricks were just paper tigers, but now that he has grown up, he is no longer afraid of him.
While eating, I heard Tumo talking about Liangzhu while serving them food.
Ji Li asked worriedly: "Has Wang Chaomin been eliminated by Your Majesty?"
Tu Mo said: "He hasn't been killed yet, but it's tragic enough that the first-class governor was demoted to guard the city gate."
Although Ji Liyou expected that His Majesty would not tolerate the dominance of the Meng family, he did not expect that it would happen so quickly. Your Majesty would move the Wang family, which would shake the mountain and shake the tiger, allowing the Meng family to take care of themselves, and also giving the Ji family a disincentive. The Liangzhu scholar family was not as good as the previous generation, and was played around by the Jimo family.
Tu Mo smiled and said: "For Wang Chaomin, it is more uncomfortable to demote him to guard the city gate than to be killed. But what else can he do now? His military power has been deprived, and the next one will definitely be the Meng family. "
The storyteller put down his chopsticks and said that this time the Meng and King families came back from Donghu after defeating Siwei, and their reputation was as great as ever.
The Meng family were smarter and knew that their achievements would overwhelm their master and they could never let go of their military power, so they did not want to stay in Liangzhu. After the emperor had to leave his army, he led his troops back to Kunzhou not long after that. Unexpectedly, His Majesty was smarter than him and secretly supported the Wang family to jointly suppress Shiwei this time. The Wang family won over his subordinates and gradually gained some real power in the army. Soon he used the excuse of a civil uprising and ordered the Wang family to lead troops to quell the rebellion. However, The Wang family didn't know who initiated this civil uprising, but the Meng family saw clearly. The Wang family lost the battle and the Wei warriors won, but they were powerless to suppress the small civil uprising. The water behind this was extremely deep.
When Wang Chaomin was punished this time, the Wang family simply softened their knees and turned around to stand beside the Jimo royal family, completely acting like a cow or a horse.
Liangzhu Ji's family and Liangzhu Meng's family couldn't feel the coldness of their lips and teeth.
The Wang family has always been very respectful to the Meng family, and they never expected that this time the Wang family would completely submit to the Jimo royal family.
Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knew that the Wang family had secretly lost power and that the Liangzhu nobles were in danger.
At this point, the storyteller suddenly held his chin and asked Ji Liyou, "If Liyou becomes an official, would you like to be a famous minister?"
Ji Liyou was very surprised and replied: "I don't know how to become an official."
"If there comes a time when you really have to become an official, what will you do?"
Ji Li worriedly said, "The Ji family is loyal to the imperial court. If I were to enter the officialdom, I should also..."
"Since you are willing to be a famous minister, then I will be a staff member."
"How are you going to be a counselor?"
"Can I be your staff and give you advice to ensure your success in officialdom? In this way, you can become a famous minister!"
Seeing that he was so sure, Ji Liyou couldn't sit still. That night, the lights in the storyteller's room were on until dawn. Ji Liyou didn't sleep all night. He wanted to ask him many times, but didn't know how to ask, but the storyteller was so arrogant. Not exposed, as usual.
Ji Liyou pushed his shoulder, "Are you asleep?"
The storyteller opened his eyes, held his hand under the quilt, and slowly moved up the sleeve, "Not yet."
Ji Liyou pressed his hand and asked, "What do you mean by what you said today?"
"Means nothing."
"You don't talk nonsense. Today you want to tell me that I will definitely become an official in the future, right?"
"Oh, you always like to think too much, so I just said it casually." He hooked his fingers and rubbed them gently.
"Sui Wei Da Defe, did you know about this a long time ago?"
"No."
"But when I went to rescue Wei Lang, you weren't surprised at all."
"I have lived for so many years and I have never seen anything."
"Sir, have you really become a human?"
"Of course, my divination skills are no longer accurate. Don't you believe it? What a pity. After you left, I helped people read divination. Nine times out of ten, it was inaccurate. It seems that there will be fewer guests in the Sanqi Teahouse in the future. A lot!" he sighed.
Ji Liyou just wanted to continue asking him, but he put his hand around his neck and held his lips, unable to ask anything.
The two of them slowly got up at noon on the second day. Ji Liyou saw that he was still sleepy, so after eating, he pushed him back to the room and told him to sleep.
Dr. Tea handed over the tea and said with a smile, "Old people just have poor health."
The tea cup in the room fell to the ground.
Ji Liyou smiled helplessly, "I look like I'm two years older than him now, and others don't know his details, so don't expose him."
Dr. Tea smiled and said, "Having raised a storyteller who doesn't tell stories but only sleeps. It seems that our teahouse is going to close."
Ji Liyou quickly pushed him to the front hall to talk, "Don't offend him. If he gets annoyed, he will start trouble with us again. Go to the front and talk."
Tu Mo came over and said, "There is one more thing, the shopkeeper, I forgot to tell you just now."
"What is it?"
"Mr. Wen didn't let us tell you, but I think this matter is also important." He handed over the invitation.
Dr. Tea glanced at him and said, "The shopkeeper hasn't settled down in the teahouse yet, so he's about to set off again?"
Ji Liyou let out a long sigh, "The marriage between Ji Shanjing and Jimo Ran is a headache..."
"Shopkeeper, are you going or not?"
"Of course I want to go." Ji Liyou said.
Dr. Cha put his arm around Ji Liyou's shoulders and laughed, "I know why your husband didn't tell you this. He was afraid that you would go to Liangzhu to steal the bride."
Tu Mo was shocked for a moment, "Shopkeeper, are you really going to steal the bride?"
Ji Liyou raised his eyebrows, "One is the current Da Sikong, and the other is Princess Tangshuo of the Jimo family. Do I have the courage?"
