Plum Blossom Villa.

Luo Xingchen couldn't help but want to rub his eyes, for fear that he might have missed the point.

The familiar figure standing in front of him turned out to be his great grandfather King Wu!

King Wu's temples were a little gray, with a smile on his face.

"Chen'er."

The familiar and kind voice made Luo Xingchen almost shed tears.

"Grandpa, why did you come to Zhongjing?" Luo Xingchen stepped forward and asked.

King Wu looked at Luo Xingchen, nodded and said, "I came with you to the Liao Kingdom. Well, they have grown taller. They are as tall as me."

"This little girl is quite pretty."

King Wu turned his attention to Mo Anbai next to Luo Xingchen, and the smile on his face became wider.

Mo Anbai had a blush on his face and looked very shy.

"I've met Grandpa Wu Wang." Mo Anbai said.

"Good boy!"

"Chen'er, you guys, follow me into the villa."

King Wu waved his hand, and the two guards who stopped at the door came over with three horses.

"Get on your horse. This villa is very big. It's better to ride on horseback."

"Little girl, can you ride a horse?"

King Wu looked at Mo Anbai.

"Will do."

Mo Anbai climbed onto his horse very skillfully without any sloppiness.

A hint of approval flashed in King Wu's eyes.

Although he has no dislike for timid women, he prefers women who can ride horses, have martial arts skills, and are free and easy.

Three people are riding horses and walking along the road.

After walking for a while, Luo Xingchen finally understood why King Wu asked them to ride on horseback.

Except for the gate when entering, this manor is like a wilderness with continuous roads. On both sides of the road, you can see many pastures, with horses grazing on them and herders watching from a distance.

With.

"Grandpa, there is a horse farm here." Luo Xingchen asked.

"There used to be a group of horse thieves who stayed here. They built this horse farm. There were more than two thousand horses in total, big and small." King Wu said.

"With more than two thousand horses, this horse thief is really generous." Luo Xingchen's eyes flashed with surprise.

"With such a big racecourse and so many horses, it stands to reason that the imperial court should have known about it a long time ago. Why didn't the imperial court send troops and horses to exterminate the horse thieves earlier?" Luo Xingchen then asked.

"Of course the imperial court has known about it for a long time, but the local county guard does not want to wipe out the horse thieves. If they are completely wiped out, how will they get the money from the imperial court for suppressing the bandits?" King Wu said.

"It turns out that the most important thing is to support bandits. In this world, bandits are coming one after another and they are constantly being suppressed. Many of them are connived by local officials." Luo Xingchen sighed and shook his head.

"Not only is it connivance, there are many horse thieves who are just officers and soldiers pretending to be so." King Wu smiled and said.

"With this kind of world, how can people live a good life? It's really miserable." Luo Xingchen shook his head.

"It's all business. The county governor can also increase taxes in the name of suppressing bandits. Those scholar-bureaucrats take the lead in paying taxes. When the people see that the scholar-bureaucrats have already paid, they have no choice but to pay the new taxes."

"But they never thought that this was all a show."

"When the new taxes come up, the scholar-bureaucrats' money will be returned in full, and the common people's money will be divided into 30 and 70," King Wu said.

"The imperial court takes 70%?" Luo Xingchen said.

"The scholar-bureaucrats get 70%, the county guards get 30%, and the court, huh, doesn't get a penny." King Wu snorted coldly.

This was also in the Liao Kingdom. If it were in Da Qi, there is no way that King Wu would go up and hack the governor to death.

"They divided the money and completely ignored the suppression of bandits?" Luo Xingchen said.

"Not only did they swallow up the money from the new taxes, they also swallowed up the money allocated by the imperial court. The garrison guarding Beijing apparently numbered 30,000 people, but in fact, it only had 10,000 regular soldiers. They suffered a loss of 20,000 people.

." King Wu said.

Luo Xingchen was shocked.

This is simply audacious.

"Where is the county guard?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"The former county governor was promoted and went to Beijing to become a bigger official. The current Sikong Xiang wants to do something practical, but it is hard to get back. It will be difficult for him to do it alone!"

King Wu Dao.

"Such a person can still be promoted. It is unreasonable for the Liao Kingdom to survive. Tuo Bakang, the false emperor, is a fool and a fool."

Luo Xingchen became more aware of the reason why his grandmother Tuoba Xian wanted to seize the throne as soon as possible.

If Tuoba Kang is allowed to continue, the Liao Kingdom will be exhausted.

After all, Tuoba Xian is still a member of the Tuoba family. If the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the Tuoba family will definitely be annihilated.

"Originally I was hesitant about whether to go north. But when I learned that the Liao Kingdom was in the current situation, I knew that it would be impossible not to go north."

King Wu Dao.

"Grandpa, after this time, I'm going back to Daqi." Luo Xingchen said.

"See the general here first. You are returning to Daqi." King Wu said.

"Okay, that's exactly the reason for my trip."

When Luo Xingchen came here, he wanted to meet the generals who were training troops and see if there were any mistakes.

After all, the new soldiers they trained were meant to defeat Tuoba Kang's army, so they couldn't be careless.

If a general comes who only knows how to fight and win, but has no ability at all, the training of the new army will be in vain.

However, when he saw that King Wu was here, he no longer worried.

A general who can pass the test of King Wu will definitely pass the test.

Along the way, after passing a large meadow, there is a winding mountain road, with large lawns and a large number of buildings built halfway up the mountain.

In the distance, a team of hundreds of people came running, shouting slogans.

"Deputy Captain, you lead people to train, I'm going to greet them."

The general at the head of the army quickly ran towards where King Wu and others were.

Not long after, Luo Xingchen also noticed him.

He was a soldier with slightly dark skin and a steel-like determination.

"King Wu."

When soldiers meet, they raise their hands in salute.

"Come Junjie, how can you personally train this team?" King Wu turned over and dismounted and asked.

"The captain of this team caught a cold yesterday. There is nothing I can do, so I have to come over and take care of him for a day. When his captain recovers tomorrow, I will change him back," Lai Junjie said.

"It's not easy for you to come from Beijing, but I asked you to come here to be a general and command the war, not to run around with a small team."

"Later, you will let the deputy team lead the training, and you can go back and do your own work." King Wu said.

"Here!" Lai Junjie said after hearing the order.

After finishing the official business, King Wu introduced both parties.

"Come General, can I see how the new recruits are trained?"

Luo Xingchen made his request.

"No problem, Mr. Chen, please come this way."

After receiving King Wu's approval, Lai Junjie prepared to take Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai to the training ground.

King Wu did not follow him, he left alone to go about his business.

After arriving at the training ground, Luo Xingchen discovered that there were thousands of people training here and the scene was very lively.
