At the beginning of February, the second dragon raised its head, and the green dragon festival.

A carriage slowly drove out of the Zhengyang Gate of the imperial capital, the groom was a man and a woman, the man was handsome, the woman was delicate, it was a good match, and it attracted the attention of many pedestrians on the road. There are also a pair of men and women in the carriage, not very old, all wearing plain clothes, and there are no jewelry, jade, gold and silver and other accessories on their bodies.

Xu Beiyou is so low-key to leave the imperial capital to go to Jiangdu, compared to the time of walking on foot, of course, it is much better, not only with a carriage to travel, but also with a wife to accompany him, at the same time he also brought some gifts, after all, it is not good to go back empty-handed, whether it is an elder or a friend from all walks of life, you have to talk about your heart, and the gift is particular about what you like, you are all people with status, if you blindly seek value and importance, it is inevitable to fall into the inferior, this aspect is Xiao Zhinan's single-handed, and Xu Beiyou did not bother too much.

Xiao Zhinan sat in the carriage and seemed to close her eyes to recuperate, but in fact, her mind was turning, now she is also a great monk on the twelfth floor of the Earth Immortal, if she only talks about the realm regardless of combat power, she is still five floors higher than Xu Beiyou, and she can detect the slightest trace of the carriage without opening her eyes, "See" Xu Beiyou gently rubbed a delicate wooden box on his lap, and couldn't help but open his eyes and asked, "What is this?"

Xu Beiyou opened the box, took out a firebolt from it, and said: "This is called a firebolt, it is said that it is a peerless weapon invented by Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, within a hundred steps, the power is even greater than that of a bow and crossbow, and the fire is fast, you only need to gently pull the trigger, even ordinary people can use it, there is another kind, there is a slender iron pipe in the front, and there is a thick and short wooden handle in the back, with the lead shot as a bullet, it can hole the armor, it can wear the money eye, the bird is in the forest, and it is also a blow and falls, so it is called the bird gun." When I was in Jiangdu, I once asked a county lord of the Wanyan clan to buy 5,000 on his behalf through the path of the princess of Wei. ”

"Five thousand?" Xiao Zhinan was slightly surprised, "Do you want to raise a private army that is not visible?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said: "It's because of the sea trade, you also know, although I gave half of the sea route to Murong Xuanyin, but under the name of the Sword Sect, there is still a huge fleet, and now the business on the sea is not good, pirates are frequent, and sometimes it is inevitable to lose some goods, and it is very distressing to accumulate over time." ”

Xiao Zhinan quipped: "If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you know now." ”

Xu Beiyou sighed: "That's true, when I became the home of the Sword Sect, I knew that money was used everywhere, and there were not too many gold and silver mountains, in fact, whether it was a court family or a Taoist sect, everything was inseparable from the word silver, don't look at those scholars who despise the way of businessmen and yellow and white things, but most of the major events of the court still have to fall on a money word, the biggest Pixiu in the world is the army, the court has five forbidden armies, how many gold and silver mountains should be used every year to fill it? ”

Xiao Zhinan smiled: "You can see it thoroughly." ”

Xu Beiyou said to himself: "Take our Sword Sect as an example, even if I become the number one sword immortal in the world and recapture the thirty-six islands in the East China Sea, if I don't have money, how can I talk about rebuilding the Sword Sect? ”

Xiao Zhinan continued his words and said, "So in order to guard against pirates, you are ready to arm the fleet with five thousand bird guns. ”

Xu Beiyou nodded and said, "I handed over this matter to Zhang An before leaving, and I went back this time to see how she did it." ”

Xiao Zhinan asked: "Then have you thought about it, the sea was quite calm a few years ago, why have there been many so-called pirates in recent years?"

"You're going to test me. Xu Beiyou smiled and said: "But it's hard for me, I not only thought about it, but also sent someone to check, these so-called pirates are like horse thieves on the grassland, both merchants and thieves, they all have a serious caravan identity on weekdays, but when they reach the vast sea, when they encounter a lone ship, they can immediately turn into pirates who kill people and plunder, so it is difficult to catch their handles, fortunately, a disciple of my Sword Sect once risked his life to sneak into the pirates' ship, and as they drifted at sea for about three months, they finally found their safe place." ”

Xiao Zhinan asked curiously, "Where is it?"

Xu Beiyou slowly said two words, "Wei State." ”

The most TU new chapter: section on:

Xiao Zhinan narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Wei Guo, I see. As you just said, raising troops costs the most money, so this uncle did not hesitate to personally organize pirates to plunder property, so as to accumulate a large army, thinking that one day he could counterattack the Central Plains. ”

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment and said: "In fact, from another point of view, King Wei is indeed a masterpiece of a generation, when he was in the mausoleum, the first emperor once said that if King Wei was replaced as the emperor, it might be better." ”

Xiao Zhinan was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "Then do you know why King Wei can't be the emperor?"

Xu Beiyou frowned, and hesitated slightly: "Is it because of the righteousness of the name? After all, King Wei is only the brother of the first emperor." ”

Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said, "No." ”

Xu Beiyou thought for a while, and then said: "Because the way of heaven does not allow it, there are rumors that the king of Wei is a visitor from outside the territory, so the way of heaven does not allow him to be the co-master of the world." ”

Xiao Zhinan still shook his head and said, "It's still not right." ”

Xu Beiyou pondered for a long time and said helplessly: "Please advise Lord Taiza." ”

Xiao Zhinan smiled slightly and asked, "Where does the word "chasing deer" come from?"

Xu Beiyou was stunned for a moment and replied: "Great Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it." ”

Xiao Zhinan smiled and nodded: "Yes, the premise of chasing the deer is that someone loses his deer, Da Zheng loses his deer, and the heroes rise up to chase it together. To put it bluntly, the world is in turmoil, and the people are not able to make a living, if it is peaceful today, and the river is clear and Haiyan, but the king of Wei wants to forcibly chase the deer, then it cannot be used word by word, but must be changed to open robbery. ”

Xiao Zhinan said sarcastically: "In the peaceful season of the world, he started the army in vain for his own selfish desires, is this the appearance of a human king?"

Xu Beiyou sighed softly: "It's really not counted." ”

Xiao Zhinan lifted the curtain of the car, there was still snow on both sides of the post road that had not completely melted, and said softly: "In the blink of an eye, it is a new year, and it is said that the Lord of the Demon Suppression Hall of Daomen, Dust Ye, is about to go out, what do you think?"

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "I once had a relationship with this black-clothed master in Julu City, and at that time he gave me a small seal of the unicorn engraved with the words 'Qing Pavilion Layman', and I don't know if it is a good fate, but if he comes directly to Jiangdu after leaving the customs, it must be a bad fate." ”

Xiao Zhinan smiled and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Xu Beiyou didn't rush to speak.

The carriage drove slowly along the post road, and the scenery on both sides of the road kept receding.

After a long time, Xu Beiyou said: "The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, take one step at a time." ”
