After all, Old Master Cen was a little older. After traveling all the way, no matter how carefully Cen Zhong took care of him, he was still tired after all. After the reception banquet, he was arranged to rest first. Jiang Yingxue took over to handle these matters, which was not a problem.

Xiao Cheng doesn't need to worry about it.

The highest point of the original Wang family mansion is a huge platform. The surface of the platform is covered with white marble slabs and railings. Standing on this place, you can overlook the entire city. Even the mountains a little further away look bigger than

It's lower here, so you can really see the mountains at a glance.

When Wang Li built this big house, he heard that he had a well-known Feng Shui master come over to see it.

The feng shui here may be really good, but the fate of Wang Li's family is really not good.

But in just two years, in Bangzhou, who still remembers who the Wang family is?

Even this Wang family mansion has changed its name now.

Xiao Cheng and Cen Zhong sat on the platform. There were no appetizers on the table, but two bottles of wine were placed on the table.

Master Cen was no longer present, so Cen Chong no longer kept secrets, but said directly: "This Guangnan West Road recruiter is not a good official."

Xiao Cheng smiled slightly, "Whether he is good or not depends entirely on how the senior brother wants to be. If the senior brother treats him as an official, he goes to Guizhou, sits in the yamen, and ignores everything.

The wind and thunder were blowing hard, and I couldn't sleep. Anyway, our official salary in the Song Dynasty was very generous, and there was even more minister money, which I could spend as I pleased. And in my opinion, once the eldest brother puts on this air, I'm afraid

Everyone on Guangnan West Road will be happy, maybe someone will bring goodies, and everyone will be happy together, and everyone will be happy."

Cen Zhong snorted, picked up the pot, took a sip from the spout and said, "What if I want to be another person?"

Xiao Cheng nodded: "Then there is a big risk. Not only the local officials will go against you, but the local gentry will not stand on your side, and the eighteen holes with strong folk customs will not stand on your side."

Cave Master, none of the barbarians of all ethnic groups scattered along the road are easy to mess with! If you want to be such an official, senior brother must have the consciousness to be a loner and wear his head in his belt."

"Didn't I come to you right now?" Cen Zhong glanced at Xiao Cheng: "Otherwise, why would I have come to you so shamelessly? I was dragging my father, who is almost 70 years old, shamelessly."

Xiao Cheng laughed.

In front of Mr. Cen, this elder brother was dignified and solemn, with a dignified appearance, as if he were a gentleman who never grumbled for food or drank from stolen spring water. When he turned his back, his true face was revealed.

However, Xiao Cheng admired such a senior brother even more.

This is how things are done!

You Chengfu has the skills to pull off a face, and looking at him like this, I'm afraid he can be ruthless.

Maybe, this big brother has already made some calculations in his mind.

"What do you want, Senior Brother?" Xiao Cheng spread his hands and said, "As long as I get it, I will do my best."

"Does this need to be said? I entered Guangnan West Road alone, how could I suppress those local snakes? Of course I need some elite soldiers to go in with me."

"Eldest brother, do you want to be like a mountain of thunder and thunder?"

Cen Zhong shook his head and said: "Of course it was the spring breeze that turned into rain and thunder and lightning at the same time. Mr. Cen was quite famous among the scholars. When I arrived at Guangnan West Road, it was not like there was no one cheering for me. It's just that these people were all

The mouth is powerful, but the fists and feet are sparse. On Guangnan West Road, the fists and kicks are probably more powerful than the mouth. I got powerful fists and kicks from you, and with those mouths that wave the flag, things will be much easier."

"Guangnan West Road has strategic envoys, transshipment envoys, and officials at all levels. Compared with Qianzhou, they are not at the same level!" Xiao Cheng said: "Elder brother is so sure?"

Cen Zhong disagreed: "A group of officials and bugs with flat collars are common. It seems that they are entangled with each other and have strong power. In fact, as long as they break through a little, they will be defeated like a mountain and be defeated."

"Where do you want to start, Senior Brother?"

"As a recruiting envoy, I naturally start my crusade against the enemy, Jing'an." Cen Chong said with a smile, "Junior brother, don't say you don't have that plan in mind!"

Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "Eldest brother is indeed an eldest brother. He can see what I want to do at a glance. I really tell the eldest brother that I have some plans to take a bite of Guangnan West Road. Anyway, I have nothing to do now.

It's okay. I have to find something to do when it rains. As you said, I really didn't pay attention to those idiots. Unexpectedly, my senior brother came, so I couldn't do it myself.

"

"Your senior brother will do the same thing!" Cen Zhong raised the wine bottle and motioned to meet Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng picked up the wine pot, but did not touch the pot with the other party, but said: "Elder brother wants to borrow troops, of course there is no problem, but brothers, there are some things that we have to discuss up front,

So as not to hurt the harmony when the time comes."

"Are you afraid that I, Liu Bei, will borrow money from Jingzhou but not repay it?" Cen Zhong said.

"That's not true. Since I dare to lend troops to my senior brother, I am naturally not afraid of them betraying me. To be honest, my senior brother in the army cannot be taken away." Xiao Chengcheng said sincerely.

Cen Dian nodded: "Since you said so, I would like to give it a try when the time comes. If you really take it away, don't blame me."

"Of course it's not strange!" Xiao Cheng said.

"Shuangli!" Cen Zhong said: "Of course I won't borrow troops from you in vain. Junior brother, look at your plan, the next step is Dali?"

"Elder brother has a keen eye!" Xiao Cheng nodded. "Can you also see this? Is my intention so obvious?"

"Along the way, I have been chatting with my father about your problems." Cen Zhong restrained his smile and said: "At first, I thought you were going to rebel. With your current strength, if you rebel, the southwest will be in chaos.

Did you just help your elder brother? But to my surprise, you actually kept your composure. Instead of resisting, you retreated to the background. My father was full of praise and said that you are a true scholar.

What a scholar!"

"Master, you are ridiculous!" Xiao Cheng said with a cold face: "I don't rebel because I know that if I don't do these things, my eldest brother will still gain a foothold in the north of Hengshan. If I do these things, my eldest brother's situation will be

It won't be better. Instead, I will lose my foothold in the southwest. Senior brother, it seems that I am very powerful now. In fact, this high-rise building is built on the beach. Once I really rebel,

Sizhou Tian, ​​Bozhou Yang will leave me immediately, and the big merchants of the Qianzhou Business Federation will also leave me. Even if the troops under my command are still loyal, but there is no source of water, no roots of the tree, how can it be done?

How many days will it last?"

"Exactly this!" Cen Zhong nodded: "I really admire you for being so sober. If you think about it, I can roughly guess your next move. Strength, you need strong strength

.In the Song Dynasty, it is naturally difficult for you to turn these strengths into your own, because the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has been cultivating scholars for hundreds of years and has become deeply rooted. It is difficult to poach their corners. Therefore, depending on your layout, you will focus on the court.

There are places where we can't catch them. For example, Qianzhou and Jizhou..."

Looking at Xiao Cheng, Cui Zhong continued: "As long as you take a place like Dali, you will most likely take its original power as your own. In this way, you will have the capital to bargain with Bianliang.

, it is no longer the sourceless water or rootless tree in your mouth."

Xiao Cheng lowered his head and took a sip of wine without saying anything.

"Help me completely capture Guangnan West Road, and when you attack Dali, I will do my best to support you." Cen Zhong said: "You want Dali, but I want to capture Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road.

Put it in the bag and turn it into Guangxi Road. What I want is not a bullshit envoy, I want to be the appeasement envoy of Guangxi Road first!"

"Then the next step is the capital hall!" Xiao Cheng said.

"Of course, a man should stand at the top of the world!" Cen Chong said with a smile.

"But even if you become the chief minister, there is still an official above you!" Xiao Cheng said.

Cen Zhong was slightly startled and shook his head: "Then there is no way around it. Speaking of my junior brother, you don't really have the idea of ​​replacing me, do you? I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky."

"What's the difference between me becoming an official and the current official?" Xiao Cheng said calmly: "It's meaningless to change the soup without changing the medicine."

Cen Zhong looked at Xiao Cheng intently, and then said for a long time: "Junior brother, it is natural that your elder brother is unparalleled in martial arts, but he went all the way to the northwest, swallowed up the halls of Hengshan, drove away Li Xu, and invaded the Qing Dynasty of Tubo.

Tang, riding horses in the Western Regions, such a plan, I'm afraid he can't do it, it should be your handwriting. After writing the northwest, you ran to the southwest again, it seems like a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, but you really have to look carefully

But there are traces of it, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Cheng raised the pot and drank half of it in one breath. When he looked up again, his eyes were already red.

"Elder brother, I will tell you that it was indeed me who planned it. Of course my purpose was not to replace the Zhao family with the Xiao family." Xiao Cheng said, "It's just that I have been busy plotting against others and setting up plans.

One game after another, but I never expected that someone set up a small game in the overall situation for me. I don’t care about the victory or defeat in the big game. But in the small game, I failed miserably. I lost completely. This loss,

I risked the lives of my parents and sisters."

"Who is plotting against you?" Cen Zhong took a deep breath: "Do you know?"

"There are people from the Liao Dynasty, and of course there are people from the Song Dynasty." Xiao Cheng said: "What pains me the most is that they don't see through my game. They are completely ignorant of my game, but they can be keen.

I discovered the changes in the current situation, so I took advantage of the situation. It was because I underestimated the world and failed to take precautions that I miscalculated and lost my parents and sister. Originally, if I had been more careful, I could have prevented all of this from happening.

of."

"Are you talking about Ye Lujun and Zhao Jing?" Cen Zhong pondered: "In this series of events, it seems that both of them are the winners."

"Ye Lujun, Lin Ping!" Xiao Cheng said: "Zhao Jing, Zhao Yuan."

"Ye Lujun is probably the next emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and Zhao Jing, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the next official of the Song Dynasty. You two enemies have made a big enough knot." Cen Zhong sighed,

Naturally, I think Xiao Cheng basically has no hope of revenge.

Xiao Cheng sneered: "So, the world must be turned upside down, and the world must be transformed, and the world must be rebuilt!"

"After you capture Dali, will you, like your elder brother, raise the flag to break away from the Song Dynasty and attack from the north and the south?" Cen Zhong asked cautiously.

Xiao Cheng laughed: "This painting has been damaged and is unsightly. Senior brother, what do you want to do?"

Cen Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "Of course I have to start over again and draw on a new piece of white paper!"

Xiao Cheng nodded: "Of course it will be like this. I'm just going to get a new piece of paper to draw on! Senior brother, don't you want to be the painter of this new work?"

"Of course I want to be!" Cen Zhong hesitated.

"That's enough. Let's go and see what's left! There are still many people who want to save this old work, but we are just watching from the sidelines!" Xiao Cheng stood up and said.

"What if these people were rescued by this old work?"

"I'm afraid they don't have the ability!" Xiao Cheng chuckled: "For a terminally ill guy, even if there is a brilliant doctor to save his life, he will probably drink a dove to quench his thirst, which will not last long. What's more, this doctor is still a doctor.
To be continued...
