Standing on the Weihe Bridge, Ji Xin looked at the rolling Weishui, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

It's been three years and eight months.

He, the former ranger giant in Guanzhong and the world-famous ranger giant, has once again returned to this hot land where he was born and raised.

It's just that everything is already wrong.

Heading north from Hangu Pass, his carriage drove on the land of Guanzhong.

But there has never been a situation like in the past, where one husband can do it and everyone will obey it.

Even the old brothers in the past, after hearing the news of his return, were very cold.

Some people didn't even answer his prayer post, and the porter replied directly: My lord was ordered to go out on business, and he also asked Ji Gonghaihan to ......

Only a few people, after receiving the news of his return, immediately left everything behind and came to greet him.

But Ji Xin didn't blame those old brothers who didn't come.

They all have families, and now they are eating the food of the embroidered clothes.

They did not dare to come to meet him at the risk of potentially offending the Captain of the Tiger Benwei and the Commander of the Che Dynasty.

It's good to be able to leave a little incense!

As for the Guanzhong Ranger world, a generation of new people has already replaced the old.

Four years ago, the rangers who were dominant, and now, they either went to Huaihua to pan for gold, or they were co-opted, turned into embroidered guards, and became Liu's eagle dogs, and the rest of the people also changed careers.

Some joined the army, some changed careers to participate in the examination and then became officials, and some even dropped their swords and went home to farm.

Today's rangers in Guanzhong are all young people in their seventeens or eighteens, and at most in their twenties.

They are just like when Ji Xin was young. The sword went in and out of the lu, and walked in the village pavilion.

There is no benefit or benefit. I just want to be happy and show my majesty.

"Brother. This world is really hot and cold...... "Beside Ji Xin, an old brother who came to greet him said indignantly: "That Hongguyuan Yang Dalang is obviously at home, but his subordinates told me that he was going out on business...... It's really ungrateful, did he forget that back then, he owed Wuyan 100,000 yuan and was desperate. Kneeling at his brother's door, begging bitterly? ”

"And the second king in the Chang'an Shangguan, the same is true......" Another man also gritted his teeth and said: "This second king was just a common man back then, and his brother loved his bravery, and sent 50,000 yuan and a house to make him have today's ......"

Ji Xin raised his hand, waved his hand and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Don't be reluctant, besides, they also have difficulties......"

"Brother is really noble!" When everyone heard this, they were moved.

For the rangers. Of course, the boss must be generous, righteous and magnanimous at the same time, and he will not be guilty of the past.

Of course, Ji Xin also knows this.

These people in front of you. It's his last hardcore and diehard in Guanzhong.

It is the guarantee of his turnaround.

Now, no more than in the past.

In the past. Ji Xin was once wanted by the imperial court and had to go into exile in Wu.

His roots in Guanzhong are also very deep.

This deep roots. Mainly his brother, the network of contacts and relationships of Jibu in the eastern county of Hanhe.

In addition, he has a good relationship with Yuan An, Dou Ying and Zhibudo.

Yuan Ang was even willing to hide him in his carriage and take him out of the customs.

But now, that's all gone.

The network of contacts and connections left behind by his eldest brother Jibu is now shattered.

Since Jinzi ascended the throne, the lords and appeasers of the Han family have been violently attacked and suppressed.

Many of the former peacemakers and appeasementers have fallen.

The rest also changed their doors and sang the main battle instead.

The main battle faction has risen with it.

This was a fatal blow to him.

Because his eldest brother Ji Bu was the backbone of the Han family lord and faction in the past.

What's even more terrifying is that after the people of Wuyang Hou Fan City escaped the catastrophe the year before last, in order to kneel and lick Jinshang and show his attitude, he turned out the old accounts of Emperor Hui, and used him to publicize him everywhere.

This old account is the story of the Huns who wrote a letter to insult and offend Empress Lü, and Empress Lü was furious and held a military meeting to discuss the battle plan against the Huns.

At that time, Fan Shiren's father, Fan Xu, was a resolute main battle faction.

Fan Xu even said: The minister is willing to get 100,000 people and run rampant among the Huns.

Sharpen the knife and be murderous.

This aura even suppressed the lord and faction of the entire court, so that Lu Jia and Liu Jing did not dare to criticize.

At this time, Ji Xin's eldest brother Ji Bu stood up and said: Fan Xu can be killed! Emperor Fugao had more than 400,000 soldiers trapped in Pingcheng. Now why is there a hundred thousand people rampant among the Huns, facing bullying. And Qin Yifu did things to Hu, Chen Sheng and so on. Now that the sores have not healed, he is facing again, wanting to shake the world.

This matter, in the past, has always been the pride of the old Ji family.

Let people blow every year, blow every day, **** blow.

However, time changes, and feng shui takes turns.

When the main battle faction became the mainstream, and the excitement of the great victory in the Battle of Mayi was obtained.

This matter became the Achilles heel of the old Ji family.

The people of Fan City dismantled this story everywhere little by little and spread it to others, saying that 'the reason why China has been humiliated by the Xiongnu for 50 years, such as the fault of cloth and so on, is also ......' and what kind of "cloth and other cowardice, fear like a tiger, bullying the king, and the crime is unforgivable".

And many people believe very much in these things advocated by the people of Fanshi.

Many literati and writers are even already writing articles scolding his dead brother.

Some unscrupulous guys even turned out the story of his uncle Ding Gong, and insisted that their family had a tradition of 'selling the owner for fame and harming the world with his own selfishness'.

An even more terrible blow came from an article by a certain guy.

In the article, that guy turned out an old incident when his brother served Taizong in the old years - back then, when Taizong, there was a vacancy in the imperial historian, and someone recommended Ji Bu to Taizong, and then Taizong's edict returned to Beijing for Ji Bu, who was the guard of Hedong County at the time, and originally intended to appoint him as the imperial historian, but who knows, the political enemy who met Ji Bu heard the news, so he desperately stuffed the black materials and made a small report, so that Ji Bu's position as the imperial historian almost flew to his mouth.

Originally, there was nothing.

In the nearly 60 years since the Han Dynasty, there have been many people who have lost the opportunity to be promoted because of small reports and black materials.

But the problem was that Ji Bu was unwilling to do so. Emperor Taizong said: The ministers have no merit to steal favors, and they will be guilty of Hedong. There will be those who deceive your majesty with their ministers; But now the ministers are here, and there is nothing to do. Go, and there will be someone who destroys the ministers. His Majesty summons the ministers with the reputation of one person, destroys the ministers of one person, and the ministers are afraid that those who have knowledge in the world will have a glimpse of Your Majesty.

This story has always been extremely secretive, and no one can know it if you don't go through the archives of Shiqu Pavilion.

But on the contrary, he was kicked out by others, and it was publicized everywhere as evidence of Ji Bu's 'deception and stealing fame'.

If Ji Bu hadn't deceived the world and stolen his fame, he would have regarded fame and fortune like dung as he claimed to be. Why did he blackmail Taizong for the position of Imperial Doctor?

In the community, some people are even saying now: Fortunately, Emperor Taizong saw thousands of miles and knew the hypocrisy, otherwise...... What is the innocent life in the world?

As a result, his eldest brother was immediately completely denied in terms of morality, character, personality and even official reputation.

Pity my brother, who was famous all over the world during his lifetime, and had 'Ji Bu Yinuo'. The great hero of the reputation of the 'daughter's is not easy, only a few years after his death, and his bones are not cold, but he is slandered by this!

This made Ji Xin feel boundless anger in his heart.

But he was well aware. This thing is not so simple.

More than one Fan Shi person jumped up and down in this area, fanning the flames. There must be something bigger hidden behind the scenes.

That Fengche Duwei drama Meng is the biggest suspect!

After all. If Ji Xin thinks about it himself, if he is a drama Meng. Surely they would not be happy to see a ranger giant with the same reputation and status as himself come to grab food.

Especially this competitor, who is still the local head snake in Guanzhong, his birth and status are better than his own.

It's not a matter of stumbling under the black foot!

Even, these methods are actually very gentlemanly - at least what they preach is basically the truth, but the concept is slightly changed.

If you change to a guy who has no discipline, on these materials, it is not impossible to make up a Ji Bu in the brain is a diehard of Xiang Yu or even a spy of the Huns.

Having said that, in Ji Xin's heart, his perception of that drama Meng has become infinitely worse.

According to his past temper, he will definitely get revenge!

But......

Ji Xin sighed.

His current situation, not only the connections in the past, have all turned into nothing.

Even the umbrellas of the past have also been wrecked.

Yuan An, who has always been good friends with him, has a good relationship, and even calls him a brother, was assigned to Jiangdu today, although his rank has not been reduced, and he has even been promoted.

However, from Jiuqing to the princes and kings, this is a punishment in itself.

Just like the first emperor put Zhang Ji in Huainan.

And another umbrella that used to be infinitely beautiful, Wei Qihou Dou Ying of the Dou family, was also implicated because of the irrigation of the husband, and was first neglected, and he was not even allowed to ask about the affairs of the army - the dignified general became a clay statue.

A month ago, he was exiled and sent to Qinghe County as a county guard.

As for the straight......

Although this person has a good relationship with himself, everyone knows that he is undoubtedly the face and signboard that he pushed out today.

Moreover, he has always cherished feathers and regards reputation as more important than life.

It was impossible for him to help him in this situation, so Ji Xin was also very interested in not bothering the other party, but just asked his subordinates to send a greeting post over, saying: Brother, I'm back, but it's good that my brother is busy with my brother.

"Fortunately, I still have the hole cards that can turn the tables...... Ji Xin sighed, opened his hands, and several pigeons cooed, flying from the roof of the carriage to his shoulders and stood up.

When he fled to Wu, he learned the skills of raising and training pigeons in a rural area, and at that time, he just wanted to have fun and relieve boredom.

But now, this technique he learned to relieve boredom has become his last straw.

It was precisely because of this technology that he was able to return to Chang'an, and it was precisely because of this technology that he was summoned by the Son of Heaven.

But Ji Xin understands very well.

Liu's son of heaven has always been that when you are useful, you are a treasure and should do everything.

But once you're useless.

It will throw you away like garbage.

Han Xin Peng Yue back then was like this.

Therefore, this technology alone cannot last long.

Not to mention gaining power and whitewashing the stain on yourself and your family?

If he wants to get power, he must prove to the Liu Son of Heaven that my talent and ability are beyond your imagination.

Keep surprising each other.

Otherwise, when his pigeon raising and pigeon hunting skills are learned by Shaofu.

Then he died in his life, that is, a little official who helped raise pigeons in Shaofu.

Fortunately......

Ji Xin touched a letter in his arms.

The letter was written by his former confidant and friend, Yuan An, who was once a well-known old minister of the Three Dynasties.

In the letter, Yuan Ang invited him to go south to Guangling City, the capital of Jiang.

What to do there?

Explore the unknown world, open up territory for the Son of Heaven, and even open up the sea road to the poison.

This is exactly what Ji Xin is thinking.

Today, the Han family has been subjugated by South Vietnam.

Lou Chuan Yamen even drove the fleet base to Panyu in South Vietnam, and opened up a port on the coast outside Panyu City, although it was only symbolically stationed a few hundred people and two Lou ships.

But this also means that the land of Nanyue stretches thousands of miles from east to west, and it is all Han Xinjiang.

As a result, Han merchants began to enter South Vietnam continuously, and through exchanges, a pair of maps circulated in South Vietnam began to spread to the Han Dynasty.

For the first time, Chinese scholars began to know that there was a new world in the south of South Vietnam, beyond the south of Japan.

The local jungle is dense and there are countless wild people.

But, there are also treasures.

For example, in Ninam County, Nanyue Province, there is a kind of rice that can be grown twice a year old.

And this rice yield is still high!

For example, in the midst of the cochin and elm forests and the vast mountain forests, although they may seem barren, there is a plant called sugar cane, which can extract sugar juice.

Ji Xin knew about these things through Yuan An's letters.

Rice that grows twice a year old, sugar cane that can be squeezed for sugar juice, and possible sea lanes that go to the body poison.

These three things went back and forth in Ji Xin's heart.

"This is indeed a vast world with great promise...... Ji Xin thought in his heart.

If the rice that can be harvested twice a year old in Ninan County can be transplanted to China, then the vast rice-growing areas east of the Great River and south of the Yangtze River will benefit immensely.

As for the sugar cane, which can be squeezed for sugar juice, it means wealth.

And the sea lanes that go to the poison mean the future.

And these three things must be what Imagami wants.

It's just that......

"I'm old...... It's probably a few years to live......" Ji Xin sighed heavily.

He is the youngest son of the Ji family, and when he was born, his eldest brother was already in his thirties.

However, even so, he is almost sixty years old this year.

"Such a great cause, probably, I can only lay a foundation and calculate the ...... for future generations"

Thinking like this, an official car drove in the distance.

A eunuch stood at the front of the car, saw Ji Xin and his party, and immediately asked in a loud voice, "But Ji Gong?" ”

Seeing this, Ji Xin hurriedly put away the abacus in his heart, stepped forward, and bowed: "It's not talented!" ”

"Your Majesty is hunting in Shanglin Yuan at this moment, please go with me to face the saint......" The eunuch looked at the pigeons on Ji Xin's shoulder, nodded, and said: "Your Majesty has an edict, please take these pigeons with you to ......" (to be continued.) )
