In the main hall of the Xiao family, Xiao Mowen and Liu Ruyi sat opposite each other, while Xiao Zixin and Xiao Meier sat on the soft couch beside them, whispering something in a low voice.
Although he had grasped the trends of Wenxiang Sect, Liu Ruyi did not act rashly. Because Liu Ruyi had an inexplicable feeling, as if there was always an invisible hand in the dark, controlling and guiding
Go ahead in his direction yourself!
For several days, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened. Although the Xiao family did not have much cash, they had stored a large amount of food in the past to feed Liu Ruyi and his brothers, and there was no problem at all.
But the most worrying thing is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark, and we don’t know when the other side will make insidious obstacles again! Although Liu Ruyi has sent a large number of spies to find out the news, there are very few valuable ones!
In this situation, it is as if you are a blind man on your side, but the other party has a high-power telescope. At this time, the best way is to stop with silence, first ensuring that your own side does not reveal any flaws! And if they do not take action,
If you take action, you must cut off their claws!
There was a drizzle outside the window, and the raindrops as smooth as silk threads fell on the lotus leaves in the front yard, splashing into gorgeous water splashes, so green and moving!
But right now, no one is in the mood to appreciate the scenery!
"Hey~!" Xiao Mowen sighed feebly. He didn't expect that he would have a smooth life, but when he got old, he would encounter such a problem. The original gentle, suave and unrestrained appearance could no longer be seen in him.
Instead, there was a sad face and dots of white hair on his head.
Liu Ruyi was also a little anxious, but his reason still allowed him to restrain his impulse, "Uncle, the matter has come to this, we still wait and see what happens! Our opponents are also human beings. Since they regard us as fat, they will never
Giving up so easily!"
Xiao Mowen nodded sadly, his eyes beginning to look a little desperate, "Ruyi, I understand! Hey! I'm just a little unwilling~! Could it be that the business of more than ten generations of our Xiao family is really going to fail on me?
What?"
Liu Ruyi also felt a little bitter in her heart. Xiao Mowen was a nice person, but unfortunately he was too indecisive and too gullible. If he had taken care of his shameless brother earlier, how could he have caused such troubles today? But now things have reached this point.
, there is no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward!
Just as Liu Ruyi was thinking about how to relieve Xiao Mowen's mood, she heard a servant outside the door loudly announcing: "Master of the house, master of the house! The Mi family, the third young master of the Mi family is here to visit!"
"What?" Xiao Mowen and Liu Ruyi looked at each other, both of them showing shock!
What is he doing here at this time? Is he going to throw himself into a trap?
For a moment, Liu Ruyi suppressed her surprise and hurriedly winked at Xiao Mowen. Xiao Mowen understood and quickly adjusted his clothes and signaled Xiao Zixin and Xiao Meier to step back. Then he said with a straight face: "Please.
Third Young Master~~!”
…………
The head of the Mi family in Nanjing is called Mi Zhenkang, nicknamed Youzhi. In the first year of Tianqi, he gained the title of Juren. Their family has been reproducing in Nanjing for more than ten generations! It is said that their family is the descendant of Mi Fu, a famous master of Zhao and Song Dynasties.
The Jin soldiers went south, and they moved to the south of the Yangtze River with Gaozong Zhaogou.
Mi Zhenkang only had three sons, but countless daughters. His eldest son was named Mi Hui. He was a Jinshi in the early years of Chongzhen. He is currently the censor of Guangdong and Guangxi. His second son is named Mi Huang. In the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, he was promoted to the post of deputy director of Huzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province.
As far as I know, the third son Mi Fu, although he just won the championship this year, is smart, literary and handsome, and is deeply loved by Mi Zhenkang. At the moment, Mi Fu has not participated in the imperial examination, so the Mi family is large and small.
He is basically in charge of all the business!
Liu Ruyi had already asked his soldiers to check this information several times, but when he really wanted to see the real person, Liu Ruyi was still a little surprised. Could it be that this weak-headed young man had really made up this dragnet for himself?
"My nephew Mi Fu from Nanjing, pay my respects to Xiao Shibo!" In a moment, a tall young man wearing a blue silk brocade robe and a white jade belt around his waist, with fine features and eyes, quickly walked into the room and faced Xiao Mo Wenxing respectfully.
A gift.
How could Xiao Mowen give him a good look? He rolled his eyelids slightly and said "yes" as a response!
Mi Fu was not angry either. He smiled slightly and turned around to salute Liu Ruyi, "I've heard about Mr. Liu's reputation in Jinan for a long time. When I saw him today, he is indeed extraordinary!"
Liu Ruyi also smiled softly, cupped her hands and said: "Third Young Master is so polite! Why is Liu's shameless name worth mentioning? Third Young Master's prestigious reputation is what makes people listen!"
"Hahaha~!" Mi Fu burst out laughing, as if he didn't hear the irony in Liu Ruyi's words. He gave Liu Ruyi a thumbs up with a smile and said, "Master Liu is such a wonderful person! But, I can't bear it
I cannot afford to be praised so highly by Mr. Liu!"
After a few people exchanged greetings, the maid served tea, and Xiao Mowen said coldly: "I don't know why nephew Mi Shi came all the way here."
Mi Fu didn't show any stage fright. He stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Xiao Shibo, your family and I have known each other for several generations. We have a long history! Recently, there seems to be some misunderstanding between our two families. My nephew, on the order of his father, came here specially to
Come and clarify, so that our two families will not have any more misunderstandings, which will not be beautiful!"
Xiao Mowen's face turned livid with anger in an instant, but after all, he could be considered a man who had experienced the storm. After a long time, he managed to suppress the anger in his heart and asked with a sneer: "Why can't I understand what nephew Mi Shi said?
From the beginning to the end, isn't it that your Mi family has been setting a trap for my brother?"
"Shibo's words are wrong! You have really wronged our Mi family!" Mi Fu's expression changed, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "Shibo, Shibo only knows one thing about Uncle Xiao's stay in Nanjing, and he doesn't know anything about it.
Secondly! If it hadn’t been for the help of my Xiao family at that time, Uncle Xiao might not even have been able to save his life?"
"Hmph! According to what you say, our Xiao family should come to thank you?" Xiao Mowen laughed angrily.
"That's not what I meant! Shibo, do you know who the person Uncle Xiao stabbed to death that day?" Mi Fu lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious.
Liu Ruyi stood aside and watched Mi Fu's performance, and she felt a little bit in her heart. It's so annoying to compare people to others! This guy, with his shame, would be weird if he didn't get rich in future generations!
Xiao Mowen was silent.
Seeing that Xiao Mowen didn't fall for the trick, Mi Fu lowered his voice and explained: "Uncle Shi, that person is a relative of the Wu family in Liaodong, and he hasn't released the fifth server yet! Do you think that if my Mi family helps, Uncle Xiao can still come back?"
Are you here?"
"What? Wu family? That Wu family?" Xiao Mowen was startled!
Liu Ruyi's heart was in turmoil at this time. This couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?
Taking a deep breath, Liu Ruyi asked: "The family that the third young master mentioned is not the Wu family in Gaoyou, right?"
"Master Liu is wise~~!" Mi Fu quickly extended his thumb and praised: "It is the Wu family of Gaoyou, known as the 'brave champion of the three armies, and the filial piety of the nine countries', Wu Changbo's confidant!"
'Fuck~~!' Liu Ruyi couldn't help but cursed in her heart, 'What the hell is this? Did you meet a ghost for no reason? Did you meet the old turtle Wu Sangui?'
The Gaoyou Wu family, in this era, was far from comparable to ordinary powerful families. Later generations' "rushing to the top and becoming a beauty in anger" was Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty at the critical moment, which led to the defeat of Li Zicheng's Dashun Army in one battle and his own ruin.
The Han people’s thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
The Wu family was a general, and Wu Sangui’s father, Wu Xiang, was the former commander-in-chief of Jinzhou!
And Wu Sangui's direct uncle, Dashou, was a "local snake" in Liaodong. His disciples almost covered the entire Guanning Army in Liaodong. He is currently the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou, and is the pinnacle of the situation in Liaodong!
Wu Sangui himself became famous at a young age. He is brave and resourceful, and is both civil and military. He is currently the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, with tens of thousands of troops under his command. He is the strongest and most powerful fighting force in the Ming Dynasty at the moment! His father Wu Xiang, for him
The three thousand elite servants left behind were able to face the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners cavalry head-on, and they did not lose at all!
At that time, Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, led hundreds of soldiers to go out to inquire about the enemy situation of the Qing army. However, they encountered a Qing army with more than 10,000 troops! Seeing that there were so few people on the other side, the Eight Banners Army surrounded them without attacking, in an attempt to force them to surrender.
!
At this time, Wu Sangui's uncle, Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou, saw that the Eight Banners army was powerful and did not dare to go out to rescue the city. Wu Sangui felt anxious and boldly asked Zu Dashou for a fight, but Zu Dashou refused! Wu Sangui personally led hundreds of servants and sneaked away
He went out of the city, rushed towards the Qing army formation with all his strength, and luckily rescued his father!
Seeing Wu Sangui's bravery, Huang Taiji once sighed: "What a good man! If my family gets this man, why worry about the world?"
In this year, Wu Sangui was not yet twenty years old, so he was promoted to a guerrilla general, and also gained a reputation in the army as "filial piety to all sides, brave to the three armies"!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but gasped. It was the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, and the Songshan War had not yet broken out. The Wu family was also at its peak, with strong soldiers and horses. It was the first-class armed force of warlords in the entire Ming Dynasty. If this happened
If it is really them behind the scenes, then it will be really difficult!
"Third Young Master! You and I are both sensible people! Haha, we sensible people don't tell secrets! Everything has a price. What conditions does Third Young Master have? How about you tell me and let Liu listen?" Liu Ruyi was very happy.
Quickly suppressed the confusion in his heart and said to Mi Fu with a smile.
"Haha!" Mi Fu smiled slightly, "Master Liu is really a happy person! But, can you make the decision on this matter?"
Liu Ruyi glanced at Xiao Mowen and nodded!
"Okay!" Mi Fu praised and held out a finger, "One million taels! The Mi family will return all the Xiao family's fields south of the Yangtze River and handle the aftermath for the Xiao family!"
"What?" Xiao Mowen was shocked, "You guys, why don't you go and grab it?"
Liu Ruyi quickly waved her hand, signaling Xiao Mowen to be patient for the time being, and said to Mi Fu with a smile: "Third Young Master, is it one million taels of silver? This is no problem, I can pay for it on behalf of the Xiao family! However, the Mi family should also give us some
