In Hejian Mansion, the jungle at night, it was even darker, and I could hardly see my five fingers.

A smell of barbecue came, and Chen Fu sighed and couldn't swallow it.

On the side, there was a monk named Scarlet. He chewed a big mouthful of rabbit meat and said while smacking his lips: "It's a pity that you have never drunk the Qinfeng wine from Xiliang. It's so fragrant with this meat."

Old Man Liu spit out the bones, spat and said, "Have you drunk?"

"We were in Hedong and killed a merchant's family. There was some Qinfeng wine hidden in his house. The leader at that time was very kind and gave us a few. Tsk, that was so strong, it was satisfying!" Monk Scarlet said without any hesitation about his murder, as if he was still proud of him.

Chen Fu sighed again, frowning tighter. They had been walking for a long time, and it was said that they were going to a place called Baigou River and joining with more sect bandits.

He was actually hostage by a group of rebellious White Lotus Sect bandits. The female fragrance master turned out to be the granddaughter of the second uncle's godfather. Chen Fu looked around for a long time and calculated that he should call him a sister.

Qin Yinglian waved his hand and took him into the White Lotus Sect. Because Chen Fu knew the words and snipped the words, he was promoted to become a small leader.

This group of thieves is quite large, and the leaders are about ten barbecue present, while the others are ordinary church members.

There are three harms in Hejian, and the people are not much better than Hedong.

The first thing to be affected was the military damage. Hejian was close to Daming Mansion. There were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Daming Mansion. They relied on Wei Yunse to support them and countless areas were surrounded. Not only did they seize the land of ordinary people on the grounds of building camps, but they also forced local people to farm and raise horses.

It is precisely because of this that many local families are fighting to raise horses, which has given rise to the second major harm - horse bandits. These people are skilled in horse racing and often gather together, robbery and burn everywhere. Ordinary villages are often robbed. When the officers and soldiers come, they have already escaped.

The people lost their land and were often killed by horse bandits. They were forced to do so. Many people went up the mountain to occupy land as kings. This is the third harm - bandits. The bandits generally harmed passers-by, either kidnapped the children of wealthy families and blackmailed money.

The local people were suffering from these three harms. The White Lotus Sect took advantage of the inability to enter and became popular here.

Qin Yinglian's first husband was killed by the bandits. She was desperate to join the White Lotus Sect. Because she was skilled in martial arts, a fierce personality, loyal and highly respected, she became a fragrant master.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Monk Scarpoon poked Chen Fu with his elbow and smiled and said, "Brother Afu, you have a good background. You should have had a Qinfeng pub? If you don't believe me, tell them."

Chen Fu looked at him angrily and sighed again.

Qin Yinglian smiled and said, "Afu, don't sigh. Now the court is already rotten. White lotus saves the world. Sooner or later, the White Lotus Sect. You will thank your sister."

Chen Fu looked up at the sky, covered with dark clouds and made a rustling sound, and suddenly remembered when he went to the mountains and fields outside Liangzhou City with his second uncle to pick flowers...

At that time, I was so energetic that the flowers in the mountains were picked up by them, and I was so happy to attract bees and butterflies.

"Uncle Second, come and save me quickly. I don't want to rebel..."

---

Chen Mansion, in the courtyard.

In front of the railing, Chen Shou was half lying on a soft collapse, and a three-legged gold-carved incense burner with agarwood lit beside it, wafting a faint fragrance.

This is a special incense made by Doctor Liu, which is specially designed to treat distraction and has the effect of sleepiness.

In the bedroom next to him, two pretty maids from the Western Regions looked at each other, and Taoer tilted his mouth and asked Liu'er to come forward to cover his master with a blanket.

Liu'er quickly shook her head and waved her hands. Chen Shou was depressed these days and often vented her anger on them. He often stumbling around, regardless of the time and occasion. He was so scared that several maids didn't dare to step forward.

Tao'er flattened her mouth, stared at her sister with a almond eyes, and still tiptoed forward.

On the soft collapse, Chen Shou was sleeping and even snored slightly. The master usually didn't snore, but it was obvious that he hadn't slept well recently. Looking from Tao'er's perspective, the master's eyebrows and eyes were clear and angular. No matter where he looked, he was a handsome and overly handsome young man.

Tao'er's face turned red and she gently covered him. Just as she was about to walk away, a shout suddenly came from the door: "Sir, Yuan Xiannian is asking for a meeting."

Both maids felt distressed. The master finally fell asleep for a while. I don’t know who hates it so much and has to come at this time.

Chen Shou slowly opened his eyes, rubbed it and was a little sleepy, and said casually: "Lu'er, change my clothes."

"Sister Lu'er is not here, the clothes are prepared for the master." Liu'er came over with her clothes and said obediently.

Chen Shou stretched out his hand, and the two maids dressed him up in a familiar way, and tied up brocade belts.

Yuan Xiannian had just returned from Southern Tang and came to Chen's mansion without even returning home.

After waiting in the flower hall for a while, Chen Shou rushed over. Yuan Xiannian took a look and felt that Chen Shou looked better than when he met last time.

"grown ups."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, how about you?"

Chen Shou waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down and talk. After Yuan Xiannian sat down, a little maid came up with tea.

Yuan Xiannian thanked him, shook his sleeves, and said, "Sir, the monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty had no intention of going north, and the Chinese officials in the court were content with the status quo. However, some people in the army seemed to want to cross the river to fight with Daqi. Especially their navy, this time the navy took the initiative, and Emperor Tang did not punish them, but only said it was a misunderstanding."

Chen Shou laughed and said, "It's just that our Great Qi has become weak. We can catch it for a while, but we dare not really take action. It's really in line with their Nan Tang character."

Speaking of this, Chen Shou lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on with buying food?"

"It has been arranged. There have been people in the Southern Tang Dynasty who secretly traded with the North, but they are too rich. No matter which kind of materials they are, they are inexhaustible and there are no major foreign enemies. The subordinates are in contact with a relatively large chamber of commerce in Jiangnan. With several senior officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty as a guarantee, it is not much cheaper than the average price of Daqi, but it is enough."

Chen Shou didn't think about saving money, so he nodded, very satisfied.

Yuan Xiannian smiled and said, "I was in the Southern Tang Dynasty and finally opened my eyes. This group of people have been comfortable for a long time, indulging in pleasure, and have a great desire. The king and his ministers are devoted to singing, dancing, and poetry. No wonder there are many poets and literary masters in Jiangnan. Their princes and ministers are all talented, eat and drink extravagantly, and they look like a destruction of the country! The great masters are trustworthy. The Fu King actually became a monk instead of Emperor Yuhui. The people of Hangzhou crossed the road to send off their farewells, and the civil and military officials on both sides of the court watched the ceremony. It was really a big deal of the world, haha."
