.

Jingjiu was in the capital and was not successful. After ten years of hard work on military tactics, Xiao Buyi also admired the crossbow arrows in his heart.

He selected two and handed them to Xiao Buyi and taught him how to install crossbow arrows. Xiao Buyi was extremely smart, but he could learn it after learning it. Li Jing thought about it, then flipped through the box, took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Xiao Buyi and said, "Third brother, in fact, whether it is used to use the army or the enemy, he pays attention to being unconventional and defeating his opponent with a strange and righteous change. If you are not as skilled as others, of course you cannot be slaughtered. With your martial arts and crossbow arrows, if you cannot retreat to the enemy, then this bamboo tube will probably have any effect."

Xiao Buyi took the bamboo tube, and the weight was extremely light, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this bamboo tube. This bamboo tube has four grids, and the three grids above are very sealed, but there are extremely strong lambs. As long as you crush one grid, the lambs will spontaneously ignite in the air, and elephants and ants in a radius will not be spared from fainting. But before using it, remember to apply some ointment hidden in the bottom of the bamboo tube at the end of the nose. This lambs are so coma that people are unconscious very quickly, but they have no killing ability. Even if there is no antidote, they can wake up in one or two hours."

Xiao Buyi didn't know that this second brother was a military strategist and inventor, but he was actually a chemist, and he didn't know how he created so many incredible killing weapons.

After Li Jing gave two things to Xiao Buyi, he closed the box and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, with your martial arts, experience and character, when you use these two things, you are mostly attacked to escape. Although I don't want you to use them, things in the world are unpredictable. Although you are very glorious now, the three words Xiao Buyi are also targeted by public criticism. Although Li's family has fallen, you have made great contributions, but the centipede insect will die without being stiff. Maybe one day someone with the surname Li will appear to seek revenge from you. Remember, no matter how good your martial arts is, it is impossible to withstand scheming and conspiracy. The heart of guarding others is indispensable. As long as you are cautious and not arrogant, with your current ability, you can get the best of the world."

Li Jing rarely nagged like this, but Xiao Buyi was very moved. "My second brother's words are kept in mind, but Mayi is not considered peaceful. You should be more careful when you go there."

Li Jing reached out and patted Xiao Buyi on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Bulli, although you and I are not biological brothers, they are better than their own children. Therefore, they are honest and unwilling to do anything else. I think I should know that the third brother is smart, as if the hearts of the people are unstable and turbulent today. I have a lot of feelings when I go to Qi County. The bandits are rampant along the way, but most of them are poor and helpless people. If the saints do not want to change, the people's hearts are separated, as long as I say another word to conquer Goryeo, I am afraid that the world will rebel."

Xiao Buyi nodded slowly and said, "The second brother said that the earth is extremely yes."

"In the chaotic times, whether you want to settle down, be the world's number one horse farm, or compete for the world, in addition to your own strength, power is also important." Li Jing smiled and said, "I heard from my third brother that your ranch is not far from Mayi."

Xiao Buyi nodded, "What does second brother mean?"

"If you need it, please let them come to Mayi to find me." Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"Second brother said that he could help me train the ranch guards?" Xiao Buyi was overjoyed.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Of course, but I have been considering cavalry combat recently. Heavy armor is used. However, heavy armor is very strict on horses. Not to mention that the rebels do not have enough money, heavy armor is a luxury for them. Even General Zhang does not have it, just because even if you are equipped with heavy armor, the horses are easy to get tired. The third brother is very good at raising horses, and he hopes to raise horses with super-stamina, so that they can fight ten in one battle and be invincible. But when I arrived in Mayi, these equipment and horses need to be prepared by my brother, you can use your position to help me prepare them."

Xiao Buyi already understood Li Jing's intentions and laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll have a good time for my second brother."

**

When Xiao Buyi turned to the Taipu Mansion, he was excited and confident. He felt that the sea was wide and the fish leaped and the sky was high and the birds flew. The protection items given by Li Jing only made him grateful for Li Jing's care, but the guard problem that had always caused him great headaches made him very excited, of course, he was very excited.

Li Jing has such ability, and he wants to help him bring out a team of iron-armored cavalry, which is not enough for him to do his best. The most urgent task at the moment is to use his power to recruit horses and armor. Heavy armor is not a big problem. He has a good relationship with the master Liao Xuan. As long as he makes a request, the design is not a problem. As for the endurance and weight load of the horse, it is what he needs to inspect after he leaves Dongdu. Different ranches, and the horses raised are of course to adapt to different purposes. For example, the Luling Horse Farm, where horses are empty, and the horses produced are very handsome and popular among princes and nobles. But if you say that pulling a carriage and riding is majestic, it is actually flashy when you march and fight.

After entering the Taipu Mansion, Fat Huai came up early with joy on his face, "Boss Xiao, guess who is coming?"

Xiao Buyi's heart moved and lowered his voice, "Is it the copycat?"

Fat Huai had to admire him and said, "How did the young master know?"

"Who else do you know except the people from the village?" Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "There are very few people who come to make you happy."

"The structure of the young master's head is different." Although the reason is simple, Fat Huai felt that he had learned another trick.

"Who is the copycat?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"The village leader and the second head of the army." Pang Huai smiled and said, "There are also Asu and breast milk. The four of them were afraid of being recognized by others. They dressed like refugees. They almost got coaxed out by the Bingwei when they found the Taifu Mansion. It was still my keen eye to recognize people before they picked them up."

"You are a great achievement and reward." Xiao Buyi was in a good mood and walked towards the reception room with a chat and laughing. As soon as he arrived at the reception room, he heard Xiao Dapeng's cheerful voice saying: "Mr. Bei, I didn't expect that I would meet such a cheerful person as you just arrived in Dongdu. If it weren't for you, I would probably not have entered the Taipu Mansion."

Xiao Buyi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Fat Huai. When he saw Fat Huai's face was flushed. Seeing the young leader looking at him, Fat Huai explained: "The young leader, the village leader is a little confused."

"Do you think I will believe you and my father?" Xiao Buyi could only ask.

"I believe that the young leader's wise eyes are like a good person." Fat Huai said with a smile.

"It's good if my uncle calls me Beipei. What kind of gentleman am I?" Beipei was very modest to Xiao Dapeng. When he saw Xiao Buyi walking in, he stood up and said, "Uncle, the son is here."

Everyone in the living room turned around. After seeing Xiao Buyi, they suddenly stood up. Asu and Zhou Muru both quickly came up and punched Xiao Buyi from left to right. "Buyi. You want us to die."

Xiao Buyi accepted their special courtesy. His heart was filled with warmth. He hugged the two and said, "***, I miss you too, but I can't go back."

As soon as he swears, he seemed to have returned to the parody at that time. Ah Su laughed, "I said how big a public official he is. People will not change. I am not wrong, am I, right?"

Zhou Muru just laughed, as shy and naughty as ever.

"Dad, why are you here?" Xiao Buyi said hello and saw Xiao Dapeng and Xue Buren, his eyes were full of warmth. Xiao Dapeng was still bearded and his face was full of flesh.

.It's not difficult. Now you are a big celebrity in Dongdu. But when you find the Taipu Mansion, you will be staggering when you see this courage. Fat Huai came over and shouted that we should leave quickly. This guy doesn't gain any knowledge and gain weight, and we can't even recognize him."

Fat Huai's face was flushed, "Zhai, old man, you are dressed up as dirty as you are, and the ghost recognizes you."

"You don't recognize us, but Mr. Bei." Xiao Dapeng laughed and said, "They went to the grassland with Mr. Bei. He happened to turn around and recognized Muru at a glance, so he took us into the Taipu Mansion. You said that for a few years you have been with us, it's better than for a few months."

When Xiao Buyi saw Fat Huai, he smiled and changed the subject, "I want to thank Brother Bei."

Bei Pei smiled, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany my uncle, let's go first." He said he would leave, obviously an experienced master. He knew that Xiao Dapeng and others came from all the way to find Xiao Buyi, and of course there were many things to say, and it would be inconvenient for him to stay here.

When Xiao Dapeng saw his back as he was leaving, he thoughtful, but Wan'er stepped forward and added tea and said shyly: "Uncle, let's go out first. If you have something to do, just call him."

After she finished speaking, she left the living room with the maids, but waited outside the hall just to facilitate the conversation between Xiao Dapeng and his son. Xiao Dapeng looked at his son with a smile and said, "I have been called General, the village leader, the boss, the boss, and the old beggar boy..." When she said this, Xiao Dapeng looked at Fat Huai, and Fat Huai almost found a crack in the ground to get in. "Master, I am not stupid. Apart from the village leader, I can't think of anything calling you. If you say it, I will hit the wall if you say it."

Xiao Dapeng laughed, "But no one has called me uncle. Today, I have never had any trouble in my life."

Xiao Buyi heard something in Xiao Dapeng's words, and knew that this father seemed generous, but was rough and detailed. Maybe he could see Bei Pei's man and woman, "Dad, why are you here?"

"It's not because I miss you." Xue Buren finally put down an antique in the living room and said strikingly: "Buyi, your development is really beyond our expectations. At this age, he actually became a fourth-rank official, and Wang Rengong was suppressed by you."

"It's just a lucky draw." Xiao Buyi's heart moved, "Of course, there are also the contributions of the Queen."

When Xue Buren and Xiao Dapeng heard the word "The Queen", they looked at each other, but they were not as angry or unspeakable as Xiao Buyi imagined, and they both smiled bitterly. Xiao Dapeng asked everyone to sit down. The brothers knew that the leader had something to say, and they knew that they should ask. Even Fat Huai would stop talking.

"Buyi, when we came to the capital, we really miss you a little," Xiao Dapeng smiled and said, "Your deeds in Kyoto have spread to Mayi. Do you think it's magical? But we never dreamed that you could get to your current position. Taipu Shaoqing, but in charge of the world's horse and animal husbandry. When Buren and I heard that you were Taipu Shaoqing, we almost thought we were dreaming."

Xiao Buyi was still calm, "Dad, is that the counterfeit area okay?"

"It's okay," Xiao Dapeng nodded, "You left Mo Feng in the grassland as the right thing. He and Arrow couldn't see anything on weekdays. They were really good at doing things. He said that Xueer provided great convenience. Now he is in the Mongolian and Chen people. He also discussed with the herdsmen who wrote the pictures that if the price is moderate in autumn, he can provide us with at least two thousand excellent war horses and public vehicles. Xueer is very good to you."

Seeing Xiao Buyi's bitter melon-like face, Xiao Dapeng asked, "Buyi, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "Have they told his father about Meng Chenxue?"

The name Meng Chenxue seemed to have been forgotten by Xiao Buyi. He was not forgotten. He was just afraid of thinking about it. He was full of melancholy and helplessness. When he heard Meng Chenxue's name again, he suddenly remembered what Meng Chenxue said that night, Brother Xiao, I will never forget you! I suddenly felt an impulse in my heart, and I wanted to see her!

"Of course I told me," Xiao Dapeng smiled and said, "Buyi, I know you are busy, but no matter how busy you are, you have been there for half a year, and you will still go to see Xueer. Mo Feng said, "For the development of your ranch, they are just helping you with all their best efforts. You are an official, so you can't be bound by this official position. My father is the leader, and after the spring begins, you can go to see him. Our Xiao family has officially married someone to join the family. The previous form is a bit too simple."

Everyone laughed kindly. Knowing that it was a form of robbing the land in the past, Xiao Buyi said helplessly: "Dad, I want to see Xueer, but I will leave Dongdu within three days, but I can't go to the grassland, but I have to go south."

Everyone was a little surprised. After hearing Xiao Buyi say all the stories, they were a little excited and felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

"Young master always comes first," Zhou Muru said, "Can I be with you this time?"

Everyone laughed, but Xue Buren pondered for a moment, "The man in a civilian was alone and he had to accompany him at least two people, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to contact him."

Xiao Buyi deeply felt the same way. The news transmission in this era is extremely closed, and it takes several months to go back and forth. When Xiao Buyi thought of Beipei's carrier pigeon, he felt aroused.

"Pang Huai knows about the affairs of the Eastern Capital and needs to stay." Xue Buren made a simple arrangement, as if he was in a parody. "Xiao Zhou and Asu happened to follow Buyi south, and if there was something to do, there would be a way to take care of him. The village leader and I were in the Taipu Mansion for a while, waiting for Buyi to turn around before making plans."

"Dad, you will stay in Dongdu from now on?" Xiao Buyi asked.

Xiao Dapeng smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "I actually want to meet the queen when I go to Dongdu."

***

When only Xiao Dapeng, Xue Buren and Xiao Buyi were left, Xiao Buyi finally asked her doubts, "Dad, what's going on with Empress Xiao and you? She is always afraid that you will not see her."

"Why did the queen tell you?" Xiao Dapeng asked. After Xiao Buyi told me about the experience of knowing the queen again, Xiao Dapeng pondered for a moment before saying, "Buyi, in fact, there is no need to hide it from you now. The queen is right. She was indeed with the queen since childhood and thought she was a sister. The queen was afraid that I would not see her, but because of her father. The queen's father was named Xiao Kui. The Liang Dynasty had dispersed back then, and the court officials surrendered to Xiao Kui and became king in the Xiangyang area of ​​Jingzhou. He was also called Houliang, but Emperor Wen of Sui usurped the enemy.

Zhou Hou, Xiao Kui immediately went to Chang'an to give in to Hou Liang, which made Liang Chen dissatisfied and disappointed. Your grandfather was also considered Liang Chen, so he retired in anger and taught his father not to forget to restore Liang. He was also a father at that time, and he often mentioned it in front of Empress Xiao that as the Queen of Sui, now as the Empress of the Great Sui Dynasty, her mother is in the world. She must have never forgotten her ambitions for her father, but I am afraid that I would not meet her choice, so she would not go to see her. But she probably didn't know that for decades, she had been in a daze and accomplished nothing, but just shameless to see her. It would be better not to mention the idea of ​​restoring the country."

Xiao Dapeng sighed at this point, and the hero was in a short state of anger. Xiao Buyi then understood the whole story and comforted him: "Dad, there is only one emperor in this world, it doesn't matter whether he should be an emperor. The dynasty changes, and the strong prey on the weak. What can I do if I become the emperor? I met Yang Guang all day long

Lock, more unhappy than us."

Xiao Dapeng smiled bitterly and said, "Are he unhappy if he became the emperor?"

Xiao Buyi briefly talked about the whole story of seeing Yang Guang. Xiao Dapeng was a little silenced. After a while, he said, "I didn't expect that he would become what he is today. When Yang Guang was young, he married Queen Xiao. I was dissatisfied. I once secretly went to see him and found that he was also a very smart, cheerful and optimistic person. Later, alas, it would be fine if I didn't say it."

"Everyone will change," Xue Buren said, "Brother, don't be depressed. Now Buyi finally made the Xiao family proud, and it can be considered a loss of the east corner and a sect. Buyi is now the Taifu Shaoqing, who controls the pastures in the world. Who is the unique business we are now? I originally thought that the future of changing careers and doing business is bleak. But in just half a year, Buyi has done a lot of excitement. We may not be able to seize the world, but we may not be unhappy."

Xiao Dapeng finally smiled, "If you can think about it this way, there must be a lot of disputes in this world. Buyi, no matter what, Xueer is affectionate with you. Don't let others down. If you turn around this time, you must go to the grassland to meet you."

Xiao Buyi didn't expect him to suddenly pull Meng Chenxue to the body again. He was slightly embarrassed, and Xiao Dapeng suddenly asked, "Buyi, Bei Pei is a woman."

Xiao Buyi said in surprise: "Did Dad see it?"

"After living for so many years for my father, men and women can still see it," Xiao Dapeng laughed. "Bu Ren has seen it for a long time, but since they like to disguise, there is no need for us to expose the truth about her. But what I didn't expect was that there was a woman on the grassland who was standing side by side with you."

"She is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and she is pretty good at it." Xiao Buyi only realized some problems after he said that, but Xue Buren took over the conversation and squeezed his eyes at Xiao Dapeng, "I don't think she is indifferent. She is very enthusiastic about me and your father."

Xiao Dapeng laughed and said, "This may be the so-called love for the house and the country."

Xiao Buyi blushed, "Dad. Let's talk about this kind of joke. Don't mention it in front of Bepe. It's not a good thing to annoy her."

Xiao Dapeng shook his head, "Buddha. You are good at everything, but how can you be so dull in your relationship? She is a woman, and she heard from Dezhi that she was escorting you through life and death in the grassland, and Li Shanfei was blocking you when she came to you. She would not feel anything about you? When you arrived in Dongdu, she stayed by your side. Is it just to protect you? When you arrived in Taipu Mansion, Fat Huai said that she also arrived in Taipu Mansion. You can't even see her feelings?"

Xiao Buyi thought to himself, you probably don’t know that she was the one who wanted to poison me at the beginning, “Dad, what you think is not necessarily the right thing, there are still many things you don’t know.”

"I don't know?" Xiao Dapeng shook his head and said, "Buddha, you, I walk more bridges than you have. Of course, I am not as good as you in this life. But if you look at a woman's thoughts, you can see it accurately. When you didn't see her receiving your father, you were the rituals of the younger generation? Dezhi said that she was very arrogant on the grassland. The seven surnames of Runan, the Chinese people in Jiangnan are nothing in her eyes, but you, I am very respectful in her eyes. What does this mean? This means that people care about you, otherwise it's nothing for their father?"

Xiao Buyi was amused and crying, "Dad, you are probably busy for the past six months, and you just think about this matter if you have nothing to do?"

Xue Buren smiled and said, "Your father is not ambitious now, but he wants to hold his grandson crazy. He always says that he has no future in his life and only gave birth to you one, but his son must have a future, so he will give him ten or eight. Otherwise, he keeps asking you to find Han Xue, and now he analyzes the psychology of women. Buyi, do you don't like Bei Pei, because she is not pretty?"

"Second leader, you're just kidding me," Xiao Buyi could only sigh.

Xiao Dapeng said seriously: "Buddha, it's not me who said you. Just choose a woman's appearance. If you want to live with someone for the rest of your life, first see if she is sincere to you. If you are false to you, even if she is as beautiful as an immortal, she will be uneasy when she gets married. What's the point of marrying her?"

Xiao Buyi could only say: "Dad, this matter is long-term. I think we will discuss how to meet the queen first."

Xiao Dapeng nodded and said, "I don't drink water, so it's hard to force my head. I'll put the matters of Beipei first..."
To be continued...
