The scenery deep in Xiaoyao Mountain is very pleasant, and it is also an inaccessible place.
But in a place like this, there is a very small mountain village with only about ten households.
Looking down from a high place, there are dozens of peach trees dotted here and there.
It can be considered a paradise.
The tall red lady is wearing a red dress and holding a long whip. She is practicing martial arts in a yard planted with peach trees.
And not far from her side, Yang Gang, the previously missing thunderbolt sword, was wearing a green robe, holding his arms and looking at it with a smile.
The whip crackled.
"Hongluo."
After the red lady finished practicing a set of whipping techniques, Yang Gang spoke up and said, "Your cultivation seems to have improved again."
Ye Hongluo shook his head, "With my talent in martial arts, no matter how much I practice, my achievements will be limited."
As he spoke, he smoothed the messy hair beside his ears and asked, "Teacher, are you awake?"
"Um."
Yang Gang nodded, "I'm having breakfast! Come over!"
"good."
The red lady casually threw the long whip in her hand to Yang Gang, walked out of the yard, and walked towards a yard not far away.
There are also two peach trees planted in this yard.
Inside are small huts with no more than three rooms.
In the main hall, an old man with gray hair and beard was eating steamed buns. There were also two plates of pickles on the table.
"teacher."
Ye Hongluo walked inside and saluted respectfully.
This old man was naturally Zhang Zhihe, the military governor of Xiguang County in the previous dynasty.
"Did you come back last night?"
Zhang Zhihe tilted his head and looked at Ye Hongluo with a smile.
He looked to be about seventy years old, with a Chinese character face and a resolute expression, but his complexion looked a little sallow.
"Um."
Ye Hongluo nodded in agreement.
Then he walked to the table and sat down, "Teacher, how are you feeling?"
"hehe."
Zhang Zhihe said with a smile: "At this age, I can count it as a day if I can live... If I can know that the old master is still alive before I die, I will die without regrets."
"The teacher said something like this again!"
Ye Hongluo glared at him lightly when he heard this.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it."
Zhang Zhihe smiled and said, "I heard from Gang'er that you have conquered all the bandits in Changning County?"
Only then did a smile appear on Ye Hongluo's face, "Yes, I now have thousands of people under my command."
Zhang Zhihe looked complicated.
A moment of silence.
Then he said again: "Then Lu Liang has appointed a new envoy to Jingnan County. What do you think?"
"Does the teacher want to ask me how to deal with it?"
Ye Hongluo said.
Zhang Zhihe nodded, "Even the old master hid his identity and followed Lu Liang. This Lu Liang must have been an extremely important figure in the previous dynasty. If I guessed correctly, he must have a close relationship with the royal family, and even be an authentic member of the royal family.
.Only with this status can the old master come out to assist him. It is an opportunity for him to be recruited as an envoy, but we, the people, are forced to stand on his opposite side. Think about it,
The old master is also having a headache about this problem now. In You County, they let you leave. Now, if they let you open the door, it is difficult to say that you will not be attacked by the two major minions of the imperial court, Da Geng and Wu Gou.
Agencies take note.”
"Students know."
Ye Hongluo sighed softly, "Lu Liang is taking a different path from us. If he wants to continue to climb up, he has to attack us."
"Then what can you do to deal with it?"
Zhang Zhihe asked again.
Ye Hongluo replied without thinking: "If he really leads the troops one day, I will have no choice but to fight. In fact, this is why I took those rabble from Changning County under my command."
It was obvious that he had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
"hehe."
Zhang Zhihe chuckled, "You are planning to use them as scapegoats! But... do you think you can hide this from Da Geng and Wu Gou?"
Ye Hongluo was not sure and just sighed, "Then we can only leave it to fate."
There was still half a sentence left that was swallowed in the stomach and not spoken out.
Unless she deliberately committed suicide or caused the death of several brothers around her.
In this way, you can completely hide it from the eyes of the court.
But how could she do this?
"Go and call your Uncle Xu and the others!"
Zhang Zhihe remained silent for a while, then spoke again, but he did not continue the topic just now.
"Um."
Ye Hongluo nodded, stood up and walked outside the house.
Just as I walked to the door, I suddenly thought of something, and turned back suddenly, "Teacher you!"
"Go for it!"
Zhang Zhihe just waved his hand.
However, Ye Hongluo turned around and walked back to the table, staring at Zhang Zhihe and saying, "Teacher, are you going to pave the way for Lu Liang with your own life?"
Zhang Zhihe's eyes were filled with relief.
He personally teaches more than twenty students. Although Ye Hongluo is a girl, she is the one with the brightest mind and the best understanding of the overall situation.
But at the same time, it's still a pity that she is a girl.
If only those guys like Yang Gang could have a mind like Hong Luo.
Then there is hope for the revival of the previous dynasty.
Looking at the female student who had obtained nine out of ten of his true inheritance, Zhang Zhihe smiled and said: "Teacher's life is only of this use now."
"teacher!"
Ye Hongluo frowned tightly and raised his voice.
Zhang Zhihe sighed softly, but still had a smile on his face, "Back then, Liang Hanmin conspired to usurp the throne, and the teacher failed to suppress the rebellion for the emperor. He already felt ashamed of the emperor's kindness. If he hadn't wanted to save his life and replace the emperor again,
The royal family did something and died on the battlefield. The teacher is seventy-four this year. Hehe, he has old injuries. Even if he continues to linger, he will not live for two years. Hong Luo, I hope you can fulfill the teacher's wish.
.In this way, the teacher will have the honor to meet the emperor when he goes to Huangquan."
Ye Hongluo's eyes turned a little red.
But I don't know what to say anymore.
She knows, she knows everything.
She knew that the teacher had been living with self-blame and guilt all these years.
She knew that the teacher endured the pain of the recurrence of old wounds, just to see that someone could open up the situation and restore the hope of regaining the former dynasty.
And now, Lu Liang, assisted by Xu Jinnian, is that hope.
That hope that could rally the nation’s martyrs!
To sacrifice one's life for Luliang is to die a death that the teacher desires.
However, the teacher and the others were the ones who raised her, Ye Hongluo!
Ye Hongluo turned around and walked outside the house.
I went outside and looked up at the sky.
She was able to fulfill her teacher's long-cherished wish, but not at the cost of her teacher's life.
Now she is the bandit leader of Si Fengling. Even if the court finds out any clues, it should be on her head.
As long as she dies in Lu Liang's hands, then even if the court has any doubts about Lu Liang, they can all be dispelled after thinking about it.
Not long after, about ten people followed the matchmaker to Zhang Zhihe's home.
The youngest one looks to be in his early sixties.
Two of them were missing arms.
One had a broken right leg and was on crutches.
"Jiedu Envoy!"
But when they arrived at the house, Zhang Zhihe was greeted with serious gifts.
More than ten years.
They have lived in seclusion deep in Xiaoyao Mountain for more than ten years.
These people used to be Zhang Zhihe's generals. But until now, they still maintain the habit of serving in the army.
Zhang Zhihe looked at the old guys under him with complicated eyes.
In fact, if they had not followed him to resist Liang Shi, they would have had a good future.
If they really bowed their heads to Liang Hanmin, there might even be high-ranking officials among these people.
But after all these years, these old guys still have no regrets.
"Hong Luo, you go first!"
Zhang Zhihe opened his mouth and said to Ye Hongluo.
