.

The sky is like the sea and the willows are like smoke. Xiao Buyi stood in front of Pei Bei. When she heard her half-joking and half-serious, the breeze blew, it was difficult to calm down.

Pei Bei didn't say anything when she saw him, but she was waiting quietly. No matter what, she always said what she was thinking, which was a problem she had been feeling more distressed these days.

If she is ice, then Yuan Qiaoxi is water. If she is fire, then Yuan Qiaoxi is also water. The moment she saw Yuan Qiaoxi, she fell in love with this shy and gentle girl, although she was also a woman. But she couldn't even feel hostile to Yuan Qiaoxi.

"Qiaoxi always surrounds me, asking you this and that," Pei Bei said softly: "Although she is shy and can't say anything every time she sees you, but I know that she really cares about you. She treats you as the eldest brother, you are a relative, and you also treats you as accompanies her for the rest of her life, but she is always afraid that her own is useless. In fact, she is too careful. My sister will naturally stand up for her."

Speaking of this, Pei Bei has some recovery of his style, as if he is going to negotiate with Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly and said, "Bier, thank you for your generosity. To be honest, I have more pity for Qiaoxi. She is the kind of woman that makes you unable to bear to hurt. But I also think that I accept her as an unfair to you, and accepting you as an unfair to her. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Pei Bei nodded.

Xiao Buyi was a little puzzled, "You can understand such a complicated problem so easily?"

Pei Bei smiled. "Brother Xiao, I think it's just that your thoughts are too complicated. I heard Miss Pei say that Tianji always has some strange thoughts, which seems to be true. Three wives and four concubines are normal for you. However, no matter what your identity is, I think your feelings for us will never change. Even if you get married, you will still be like a stranger. When I am a killer, I always think of when I will die. At this time, I am very glad to be able to choose a man I like, that's it."

Xiao Buyi smiled. He held Pei Bei's hand and suddenly heard a cough from behind him. He turned his head and looked over and found that Xu Shiji was not far away.

"Actually, I really don't want to disturb you this time." Xu Shiji said helplessly.

"But you still disturbed me. I found that you were intentional and you couldn't stand others' good things." Xiao Buyi teased.

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly and said, "But I have been waiting behind you for a long time. This time it's not me who comes to you. It's your relatives who come to you. I can't let others wait for a long time. After all, you have a long time, and they just want to see you from afar."

Xiao Buyi was slightly happy on his face, thinking that he was a copycat figure, "Who is it?"

"Xiao Xian." Xu Shiji said simply and clearly.

"Xiao Xian?" Xiao Buyi frowned, "I haven't heard of it, wait, maybe it's my relative."

Seeing Xu Shiji, Pei Bei looked at him in silence. Xiao Buyi could only explain: "Maybe Xiao Di was a member of him five hundred years ago. By the way, what did Xiao Xian do?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Buyi suddenly said, "He is the county magistrate of Baling County, right?"

"It is the county magistrate of Luo County, Baling County." Xu Shiji corrected.

After Xiao Buyi's time, his thoughts were changing, and he tried his best to find out who Xiao Xian was in his impression, because he felt that he had heard of it. He thought it was a subconscious memory, but later he thought that he had heard Lin Shi talk about this person on the grassland. At that time, the merchants thought he had a backstage, so they mentioned the magistrate of Xiao County in Baling County, but they did not expect that he did not know Xiao County, but inexplicably became the relative of Empress Xiao. I remember that Shen Yuankun said that Xiao Xian County Magistrate, as the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of Xiliang, Xiao Buyi could not understand the relationship between Xiao Xian and Empress Xiao for a while, but in essence, they were indeed related to their ties.

After understanding these relationships, Xiao Buyi asked, "What did he come to me for?"

Xu Shiji smiled and said, "Boss Xiao, you are famous now. All the counties and counties around you are worried. You are either ready to resist or surrender. How much can he do as a county magistrate? Now, besides trying to get the opportunity to come and hug you and ask you to continue going south, are there any other reasons?"

When Xiao Buyi saw Xiao Xian, he found that they were indeed relatives and they looked a bit similar.

Xiao Xian's thighs are similar to Xiao Buyi's waist! He must be less light if a person has such thick legs. Xiao Xian is a big fat man, which is beyond Xiao Buyi's expectations.

The belly is raised, like a twin, with fat on his face. Although his legs are thick, they look too heavy to bear the weight of his body. Xiao Xian sat on the chair, and the chair creaked. When Xiao Buyi came in, he stood up quickly and walked over tremblingly, giving a deep bow, "Xiao Xian meets Xiao General

Xiao Buyi looked at his fat body and felt that he was in his early thirties and under forty, but because of his obesity, he seemed even more mature. He thought to himself that Xiao Xian was poor since childhood and made a living by copying books for others. Why did he still grow up so fat? Could it be that he is a corrupt official?

It can be seen that he is polite. Xiao Buyi was also at the time of accepting wise men. He said politely: "Mr. Xiao has long admired Daqie and has no chance to go to the meeting for a while. Please forgive me."

Xiao Xian raised his head, his fat face full of smiles, "General Xiao is so polite. You are busy with official duties and worry about the people. I am already upset when I come over to disturb you. How can you see me?"

"I don't know what the magistrate of County Xiao is looking for me?" Xiao Buyi finished politely and wanted to ask Ming Xiao Xian's purpose.

Xiao Xian smiled and said, "I am actually the name of General Xiao for a long time. When Lin Shizhi turned around on the grassland, he had already told me General Xiao's heroic deeds. At that time, I wrote General Xiao's name in my heart. Later, when I heard that General Xiao was the queen's son and nephew, I was very happy and thought that the Xiao family would finally appear as outstanding figures again. But because of their humble official secrets, they could not go to Dongdu to visit. I am not talented, but they are actually the queen's son and nephew. So..."

Xiao Xian wanted to speak but stopped. But Xiao Buyi said, "So you and I are really relatives?"

Xiao Xian's face was shining, not knowing whether it was sweat or oil, and said embarrassedly: "I know I am far from General Xiao, this relative..."

"This relative relationship is certainly true." Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "No matter what, the magistrate of Xiao County rushed from Baling to Xiangyang. It can be seen that I am proud of having relatives like Xiao County. Xiao County Magistrate is tired, so please sit down and talk."

Xiao Xian smiled on his face, "It should be, it should be." He followed Xiao Buyi's advice, sat down, and gasped, saying, "General Xiao..."

Xiao Buyi waved his hand and said, "Actually, the magistrate of Xiao County is far older than me. We are relatives. I am a general. I am also a nameless person. I am afraid there will be trouble if I have something to do with me..."

He said this but stopped, obviously he was testing Xiao Xian. He was not a general, so as not to avoid Xiao Xian showing his mistakes and holding on to the wrong things.

Xiao Xian smiled and said, "What is the real thing about being famous? In my heart and in the hearts of the people, General Xiao deserves his reputation. I am not afraid of having any connection with General Xiao now, but I am afraid that you don't recognize me as a relative."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, my cousin should not call me a general. It would be better to call me Buyi."

Xiao Xian was overjoyed and full of joy, "It's so good, Buyi, I'll call you a big name. Actually, it's a thing for me to come here to see you. Since Buyi is so kind, I'll beg you for something with a thick face."

"If I can do my best, I can do my best." Xiao Buyi said beautifully, but he was thinking about Xiao Xian's intention.

Xiao Xian said earnestly: "I heard that after Buyi entered Xiangyang City, he issued the order of equal land and then imposed the rent and mediocre system. The people of Xiangyang County praised him and cheered. As the magistrate of Luo County, I have always been powerless about this. I asked all the magistrates of Baling County privately, and they all felt that if Buyi entered Baling County again, it would definitely be a blessing for the people of Baling. I also asked Buyi to consider this matter because of my sincere intentions."

Xiao Buyi thought to himself. Of course I want to take over, the bigger the territory, the better. But I always need the consent of the Baling County Magistrate.

While hesitating, Xiao Xian seemed to see his thoughts and smiled and said, "Actually, I know that Buyi is known for his benevolence and righteousness. This is the person the people are looking forward to. Most of the Baling Captains are familiar with me. Tang You, the governor of Baling County, is old and stupid. Now the thief Chen Liusheng is in chaos in the Baling area. Although it is fierce, it is much worse than General Xiao after all. Buyi leads his army to attack, of course he can capture it in one fell swoop. With everyone's support, isn't Baling County still under the control of Buyi?"

What he said was quite obvious, as if he had a ill intention to rebel, he came from afar and could be regarded as seeking a favor by offering advice. After saying that, he was full of expectations.

Xiao Buyi pondered for a long time before saying, "The big thief is really hateful. Please rest assured, my cousin first. After the situation in Xiangyang stabilizes, I will lead troops to encircle and suppress it. I also ask my cousin to help you at that time."

Xiao Xian's eyes narrowed into slits, "The people of Baling are waiting for the arrival of Buyi! I will go back and prepare now, and ask Buyi to come soon to save the people of Baling from water and fire!"

While the people of Baling were looking forward to Xiao Buyi, the people of Xingyang were also looking forward to the arrival of Zhang Xutuo.

The people in the world are already in dire straits, and there are more bandits in Xingyang County than those in Xingyang.

Many people couldn't wait for rescue and directly joined the bandits to save their lives. Xingyang County was already full of bandits!

Tens of miles west of Xingyang City, nearly a thousand bandits were turning arrogantly, carrying chickens, dogs, pigs and sheep, as noisy as the New Year.

Their New Year was obviously based on the pain of others, but they could no longer control them. They rebelled and lived a life of life, with big fish and meat, guarding the fields and being plundered, and being slaughtered all day long, like lambs, many people chose to rebel and follow Wagang.

Although everyone knows that Zhang Xutuo will definitely come, everyone has had enough of these hard days. The government's taxes and harassment of bandits must be avoided. I think I can be happy every day. Besides, now that Wagang is known to be tens of thousands, it may be able to change the decadence of the past.

Wei Liuer rode on the horse, wearing armor and holding a spear, and was majestic and proud.

He is also worthy of being so proud. Although he obtained countless money, grain and supplies after capturing the counties of Xingyang County, most of them were collected by the heads of Wagang. The most elite armed army came to deal with the counterattack of the government. He could get a horse and a piece of armor like him. There were still a few people who could get a sharp spear.

Now he is in Wagang, he can be regarded as the top 100 people, because he surrenders very quickly. Now Wagang is in urgent need of manpower, and everyone comes. Li Mi personally selects talents and trains the Wagang Nei Army. He is not a very private army, but in Li Mi's eyes, he is still a talent, which makes Wei Liuer very grateful.

Nearly a thousand people were walking on the street, and Wei Liuer was on the horse. This feeling can only be described in one word, which is cool!

Relaxedly, he held the spear in his hand tightly, and felt anger in his chest. He didn't know who to vent. Wei Liuer, as the name suggests, was Lao Liu at home. Every time Wei Liuer thought of this, he wanted to kill people. He is now alone, without any worries, and his five brothers died completely. The eldest and second brothers were conscripted to dig a canal at the beginning, and his bones were buried beside the canal not far away. This work was not done by humans. The people along the canal didn't know how many deaths and how many tears they shed, so they dug out this key.

The river of Mind Di, this river is not water, but blood and tears of the people, and ghosts all over the river. Wei Saner died while conquering Liaodong, and his corpses were not seen. However, when Wei Saner's bones were not found, the dog emperor wanted to conquer Goryeo again. The brothers refused to stand up and fled east and west. That period was really dark. In the end, Wei Sier was killed by the officers and soldiers as a robber, but Wei Wuer was killed by a man named Xiao Buyi. When Wei Liuer heard this, his tears had dried up.

Dog Emperor, Zhang Xutuo, Xiao Buyi, I will not let you go, you are all forcing me...

He held the spear in his hand tightly. Wei Liuer poked the void a few times, and a cold smile appeared on his face, thinking that the air was the enemy. If he had the chance this time, he must kill Zhang Xutuo and Xiao Buyi. Revenge for his brother!

Thinking of this, Wei Liuer looked up and looked into the distance. He thought to himself that after passing the hill in front, then wading through the plain, and walking for a long time, he was about to arrive at Xingyang City. This time, he had a great success in plundering. Li Mi should praise him. From the bottom of his heart, he admired Li Mi and disdained Zhai Rang. He heard that he had the idea of ​​capturing Jindi Pass and attacking Xingyang City. Some companions said that when they saw Li Mi's head, there were vaguely two corners and seven colors on his head, they all said that it was a statue of the emperor. When Wei Liuer thought of this, he decided to hug this thigh and follow Li Mi, and would become a founding hero in the future.

A cold wind blew, and Wei Liuer suddenly felt salivation all over her body, and a chill penetrated into her bone marrow. At some point, a group of Sui Dynasty officers and soldiers appeared in front of her, guarding the intersection, silently.

There were thousands of officers and soldiers, with bright armor and spears like a forest, and a dazzling cold light shining under the sun.

More than a thousand officers and soldiers stood there, silently, which was shocking. The head flag-holding official was attached to a big banner, with the big banner flying, and the sound of the whistle and whistle, only the word Zhang was written on it.

The bandits became disturbed, sweat flowed down Wei Liuer's forehead and his eyes kept twitching, Zhang? Could it be...

"Zhang Xutuo is here!" A shrill cry came from the bandits, and more than a thousand bandits scattered with a bang!

The three words Zhang Xutuo have great magic power. When the thieves in Henan heard about it, they were already frightened and had no courage to fight and fled in all directions.

This flag has such great magic! The horse was neighing in a fright, and Wei Liuer couldn't stop the horse and could only turn around.

Wei Liuer has always been hiding from all over the world and has never seen Zhang Xutuo before. He was thinking about a battle and wanted to find Zhang Xutuo to avenge his brothers, but now he only saw one flag and lost all his courage.

The bandits fled back in a noisy way, and they ran not far away. They were shocked to find that a group of officers and soldiers appeared in front of them, with the same spear, the same flag, and the same cold blood, standing behind them like ghosts.

Before they could react, two teams of officers and soldiers from both sides also came to the left and right, gathering together into a square formation and squeezing towards more than a thousand bandits.

All the officers and soldiers walked in, but their steps were neat. Every time they took a step, the distance was measured with a ruler. The officers and soldiers formed a phalanx and rushed forward like four iron plates. The sun was shrouded in murderous aura, and they were covered by clouds, and they didn't want to see it anymore.

Wei Liuer was shocked and shouted: "Brothers, if you fight, you will have no way to survive."

He did not dare to snatch his attack, and urged the horses to order everyone to flank the officers and soldiers, trying to break through the siege and fight out a path of blood.

There was a crack sound. The officers and soldiers on the opposite side had stopped. The front row of soldiers held shields and inserted them on the ground. In an instant, they had formed a copper wall and iron wall. There were flashing lights behind the iron wall. They were the cold light emitted from spears, machetes, and feather arrows.

Some of the bandits stopped, their legs became weak, and some did not know the pros and cons, so they rushed forward without fear of their own life. Before they could get closer, a feather arrow shot overwhelmed the sky and the bandits rushing in front fell down.

In the sun, blood blooms like flowers, and in the battle, life is as humble as mustard.

The blood mist was blurred, and the bandits were panicked, but they had not lost their minds. They fled to the side in horror, and the officers and soldiers on the other side also stopped, and their shields poked the ground, waiting for battle, and being ruthless.

More blood gushed out, and more bandits fell down, but the Sui army's formation remained unmoved, and nearly a thousand bandits were attacking, unable to rush the Sui army to form a small piece of the terrain.

Wei Liuer's eyes were red, and in a blink of an eye, he had already rushed to all sides, but the four sides were as hard as rocks, and nearly a thousand bandits had lost most of them. Wei Liuer felt like he was trapped in the cage, and there were cold shields, cold bows and arrows, and cold spears everywhere. He was full of passion, but no one was against the enemy.

"Clash with me." Wei Liuer gritted his teeth and rushed towards Xingyang City. Can he survive and make his last fight?

The horse urged it. It was very fast. Wei Liuer leaned down and was about to reach the officers and soldiers on the other side. He shouted again, and a little cold light flashed from the iron wall. Wei Liuer felt that several parts of his body were cold at the same time. He felt that the hot things flowed out in a flash, and he felt a lot of pain. There was a scream behind him. I don’t know how many arrows he had been hit and how many of his subordinates died, but he finally arrived before the Sui army! The horse neighed and jumped over with a long arrow with inertia. Behind the iron wall, more than a dozen spears stabbed out, hitting Wei Liuer's body, putting him in the air, blood bursting, spraying onto the shield!

Wei Liuer was covered in blood, and the person was stiff in the air. He looked over with difficulty. Then he saw countless long spears and short swords waiting behind the shield, but he could no longer feel the chill or fear.

The spear was pulled back, and Wei Liuer fell into the dust like a dead dog, rolled down on the ground, looked up at the sky, and felt the sun turning blood red, and it was dark in a flash. Wei Liuer's last thought was that he had not seen Zhang Xutuo and Xiao Buyi until he died!

"Who is better than Xiao Buyi or Zhang Xutuo?"

"Of course it's Zhang Xutuo. After Zhang Xutuo joined the army, he has never lost a single battle."

"I haven't heard that Xiao Buyi has lost."
To be continued...
