Devil’s Advent

Ni'er, this is Xueguan, it's really big.

The old woman sat on the bullock cart and held her daughter-in-law's hand while feeling emotional.

The city wall of Shengle City has already shocked her. The city wall of Xueguan, tsk tsk, is connected with the mountains on both sides. It is scary to look at.

Liu Dahu, who was also sitting on the bullock cart, immediately shouted after hearing this:

Isn't it grandma, sir, we, General Zheng, relied on this city back then, even if a hundred thousand savages stormed outside for a month, we didn't even bother to blink.

When children speak, they don't understand much logic yet.

He didn't even know whether he wanted to praise the towering walls of Xueguan City or the greatness of his own General Zheng.

Although Zheng Fan has been bestowed the title of Bo Hirano by His Majesty, the people of Shengle still habitually call Zheng Fan the Great General.

Firstly, I am used to it, and secondly, it makes me look like an old man, and I have followed Uncle Zheng long ago, right?

After hearing what her grandson said, the old woman said with emotion:

That's right, how can a savage climb up such a high city wall?

The ox cart was bought by a woman. Because there are old people and children in the family, it is unrealistic to walk such a long distance purely by two feet, so I gritted my teeth and divided it from the money I saved from working in the workshop. Out of part bought it.

The driver was a dull man, who recommended himself, saying that he also wanted to go to Xueguan, so he simply dropped in, and he didn't have to pay for it, and he also ate and ate by himself.

But occasionally he was called to eat dry food together, and he would not refuse, but he must say thank you several times before and after.

The common people migrated to Xueguan and began to divert them.

Snow Customs is huge, and the inner city's population capacity is naturally large, but it is impossible to move all the people into the city.

First of all, the military family is the priority, then the big clan is the priority, and secondly, it depends on your contribution.

The so-called contribution is to let you spend money to buy residential land in the city. Anyway, the land in Xueguan belongs to Uncle Zheng, and he can sell it as he wants.

At the same time, half of it has to be set aside, and it will be sold after the Snow Customs starts operating and its value will appreciate.

Those who did not meet the above conditions were all placed in the designated area outside the city.

Empty villages, houses without people, you can move in after registration, but the area cannot be too large, a bit similar to the old Beijing courtyard house, where several families live in one courtyard.

There is another kind where the General’s Mansion will help you build a house, but you have to pay taxes, which are repaid every year with tax money or labor. The time limit is tentatively set to be 30 years.

This measure did not arouse any resistance and complaints, and everyone can accept it.

In the final analysis, it was because of the times that these Guizhou chiefs had to pay taxes and money, and at the same time they had to be confiscated for free labor. This is something that everyone is accustomed to and agreed upon.

Furthermore, in the past, you were obliged to pay taxes and complete corvée, but now you are given a house, why not think about it?

Of course, there are still a large number of people who were deceived by giving money, and those people are also very talkative. They have no money, so they can only give land. At the same time, in order to prevent land mergers, the sale of land is prohibited.

Either live here and farm, or you will return the same way.

Those who are willing to come so far with the team are ordinary Guizhou chiefs, and they are not doing well. Letting them run back and forth for a few months without any income is simply forcing them to survive, so everyone accepted the general. According to the arrangement of the government, the registration and bookkeeping began.

Of course, there are also some hard stubbles, so I have to ask some questions.

The problem, of course, would not be solved, but the people who raised the problem were shot and killed by the knights patrolling nearby.

Then, the problem goes away.

At this point, the General's Mansion is extremely vigorous and resolute, and it doesn't even bother you much.

Anyway, I have swords and guns in my hands, and soldiers and horses only listen to me. No matter how noisy you are, where can you go?

The military dependents are all living in Xueguan City, what is the picture? Isn't that what it is.

In short, with the entry of immigrants, adequate preparations, and careful planning and setting, all aspects of work are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Yu Wu's family, Building 1, Jiafang, Beifu Street.

The military Chinese book roll name according to the booklet.

The military family members are very good at counting, so arrangements were made early, and when they came in, they just moved in.

But after this position was called out, not to mention many military relatives nearby, even the roll call documents and the soldiers maintaining order were stunned for a moment.

Beifu Street is the street near the north city wall of Xueguan.

The General's Mansion, which is now Hirano Bo's Mansion, is there, and it is already under construction.

Jiafang is the closest folk square to the Hirano House, and the first building is equivalent to being close to the Hirano House.

To paraphrase later generations,

It doesn’t matter whether it’s daylighting or not, and it doesn’t matter if it’s traffic or not. You live next to the Forbidden City. What kind of experience is this?

The woman named Yu Wu was also taken aback for a moment. She didn't know the location of the house assigned by her family, but she called herself this.

Her family name is Wu, and her husband's family name is Liu. According to past habits, she should be called Liu Wu. Called Xiao Wu.

And the surname Yu,

Obviously, it was directly marked as Yu Huaping's wife in the military register.

This feeling is like the wedding has not yet been held, and the bride price and dowry have not been prepared, but the government has already issued a marriage certificate for you in advance.

Regret... I won't regret it.

On the contrary, the woman is very satisfied with this title, and there is a little joy in her heart. This feeling of being recognized is really good.

The old woman pursed her lips, obviously not yet familiar with this title, and instinctively felt uncomfortable, but looking at her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help showing a helpless smile on her face.

The old Liu's family doesn't have that blessing, but they can't delay their daughter-in-law.

The military Chinese secretary who was called could not help but stand up, and his posture was not as calm and calm as before.

Straight girl thief,

Which military family is this?

Why did you just come here in a bullock cart like this!

In any era, there is no shortage of people who follow others, because this is a human instinct.

The blind man once said that for thousands of years, there has been a human tradition that has not changed, and that is to use the location and size of the house to distinguish and measure a person's identity and status.

Why does the emperor live in the palace?

Why is the minister's residence near the palace?

Why do dignitaries want to squeeze into the inner city?

It's all because of this reason.

In Xueguan, because of the words Zheng family guards the gate of the country that Uncle Zheng once said,

Therefore, Hiranobo Mansion was built against the north wall of Xueguan.

And this position, people who are not very close, are not allowed to live, because in Jiafang, basically the family members of the middle and high-level generals of the original Sheng Le army live.

Of course, maybe the people outside the city want to live in the city, and the people living in the city want to live close to the General's Mansion, but to Uncle Zheng, he doesn't really care.

Because the land is his, the land is nothing to him.

Even if the Juggernaut is useless,

Is he worth the face?

Is it worth it?

Must be worth it!

Uncle Zheng has always been extremely tolerant of those who were born with the template of the protagonist.

Besides, even if you are pure-hearted and ascetic, can you keep your family and follow you to be pure-hearted?

Sometimes, the opening of the line of defense is opened from the family.

If I treat you well and you don't appreciate it, then I will treat your family even better, and you will have to accept it if you don't accept it!

Three soldiers and a clerk with a booklet led the ox cart to the house alone.

The old woman didn't know why it was so grand, and she was a little frightened, so she inevitably talked a little too much, trying to use the wisdom of an elderly person to make clichés.

But this document doesn't dare to talk too much, it can only gossip with the old woman.

When they arrived at the gate of the house, the three soldiers in front unexpectedly saw a small figure standing there, and immediately knelt down to salute:

See Mr. Xue!

The demon kings actually have official positions under the general's mansion, they are considered members of the general's mansion establishment, and they are actually registered in the Ministry of War.

But before in Shengle City, except for Liang Cheng, the rest of the demon kings preferred the people below to call them Mr., and dismissed their official positions indifferently, and they were only limited to General Zheng's personal staff.

But this kind of identity, on the contrary, made the people below dare not despise him.

The Junzhong secretary who was chatting with the old woman knelt a step too late and accidentally dropped the booklet in his hand on the ground.

Xue San waved his hand,

road:

You all go to work.

Sign up and obey!

Obey!

After these sergeants left, Xue San jumped into the bullock cart with a friendly smile on his face, pointed to the house in front, and said:

Everyone, this is where you settled down. It's a bit shabby, so I hope you don't dislike it. Jian... Well, although Xiao Yu is injured now, he has always been valued by my uncle. I hope you will take good care of him. .”

Yu Wu immediately took her mother-in-law and son out of the bullock cart, and wanted to salute Xue San, but Xue San avoided it, smiled, and said:

I still have something to do, you guys drive the bullock cart in by yourself, see you later.

Yu Huaping's identity was not clearly stated,

But how to say,

In order for Master Juggernaut to have a good mood to recover,

Zheng Fan still decided to let Xue San go. If it is true that the Yu Wu family is more affectionate to the Juggernaut than Jin Jian, and he has taken a fancy to the golden tortoise son-in-law, then it will be fine, and it can be regarded as a good fortune to the Juggernaut.

If she's not that firm, show some and make her firmer.

The door of the house was pushed open by Liu Dahu, and Mrs. Yu and Wu looked inside, but was pleasantly surprised to see a person standing in the yard, not that man.

The Juggernaut was wearing a brocade robe. Before opening the door, he was leaning against the pillar. After the door opened, he took a step forward and stood firm.

During the period of recuperating, he basically lay down, and he naturally gained some weight. He looked a little richer, and matched with the clothes selected by the Savage King;

Unlike Juggernaut,

It's not like a guard,

Instead, he looked like a member of staff.

The Juggernaut bit his lips,

long time,

Only then said:

You're here.

Yu Wu's left hand stroked her hair, stood by the threshold, looked back at her mother-in-law, then at the sword master,

finally mustered up the courage,

laughed:

Ang, here we come.

………

Coming?

Well, you know I'm coming?

Hehe, I can tell that Uncle Zheng has one of the most powerful advisors under his command, but that advisor is not in Xuehaiguan. If you think about it, it should be you.

The Savage King sitting in the cage slowly raised his head and looked at the blind man who was peeling an orange sitting in front of him.

The blind man nodded and said, It's about the same.

Others say that they rely on their brains for food, which may be a bit of bragging, but blind people really rely on their brains for food.

Whether it is mental power or mental power, isn't it all issued by the brain?

well.

The Savage King sighed with some melancholy.

My lord said that you like acting very much, you like it, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, what's the matter, I'm here, so I won't act?

I was stabbed by the sword master a while ago, and it hurts even now.

The Juggernaut can still hold the sword now?

In my heart.

Oh. The blind man didn't take it seriously, It seems that the realm has been improved, does this count as a trick to win?

Maybe, by the way, you just said that, called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? I like this sentence very much.

I'll give it to you if you like it, Orange, do you want to eat?

food.

Well, here you are.

It's kind of dry.

It's good if you can find it, so don't worry about it.

The blind man pulled out a silk scarf from his cuff, began to wipe his hands, and continued:

Let's stop making rounds. Your life and death are now in my hands.

good.

Tell me about the matter on the snow field. You know what I mean. Don't ask me a question and you answer it. This way, you and I will be tired.

good.

When you're talking, think about what benefits you can bring us if you stand in my Snow Customs, from the perspective of my Hirano House, and you have to give reasons and reasons.

If you can't satisfy me today, you won't survive tonight.

So simple?

Because there are too many things, house construction, fortification repairs, spring plowing that has been postponed, too many things need to be busy. To be honest, I really don't have much time to argue with you and play tricks.

understood.

Okay, shall we begin then?

Okay, don't you need a pen and paper to record?

Just keep it in your mind. The blind man tapped his temple with his index finger.

I have a small request.

You have caused my displeasure.

The implication is that I don't want to discuss any conditions with you.

Is the Princess of the Zhenbeihou Mansion married to your Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom?

Oh? My unhappiness has disappeared, and I even want to continue listening.

Hehe, I have admired her for many years.

The princess is not very old, you beast.

In the eyes of you Xia people, our saint race is no different from animals.

You're off topic.

Okay, sorry, the tribes on the snow field are roughly divided into...

Tell me about you and the princess.

... Savage King.

Hurry up, I'm interested in this, and we'll talk about other chores later.

Is it really possible... like this?

There's nothing wrong with that. Oh, by the way, I can tell you that because of the previous war, the marriage between the prince and the princess was delayed, and then, because all the Chu people in Yupan City were slaughtered by my uncle. , the covenant between Yan and Chu broke down, and a war between Yan and Chu is likely to happen in a short period of time. Therefore, the marriage between the princess and the prince should be delayed further.

You can go on with this fantasy for a while longer.

No, you are wrong. Whether the Princess is married or not will not change her position in my heart.

Tsk, there's no way to communicate now, the taste is beyond class.

What does it mean?

I said let's get on with business.

The first time I met the princess was when...

You don't want to live anymore, do you? What are you talking about with me about the snowy field? Believe it or not, I will give you poisoned wine tonight and send you back to the embrace of the stars?

The Savage King smiled.

The blind man laughed too.

At this moment, even though the iron fence was separated, there was a feeling of seeing the same kind between the two old silver coins.

Actually, when I first learned about General Zheng, oh no, it was about Uncle Zheng, I always thought that he was a popular general under that Lord Hou of the Jingnan Army.

But later, I slowly discovered that he was not that simple.

Especially, after I saw those of his men, and now that I see you.

It's not difficult for one person to be powerful, but what's difficult is that you can control a group of very powerful people under your hands.

Hearing what you said, are you tempted?

Standing with you doesn't count as burying my talent.

Where's the face?

Look at the scar on my face. Back then, a little girl whipped me.

The little girl is really strong.

The Tao you see now was destroyed by me in order to hide.

Oh, no wonder.

I can come and help you with things.

You can try it first.

Are you afraid of me?

It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I find you annoying. Without you, my Patriarch wouldn't be able to be stationed at the Snow Pass and be made an earl. After all, we still have to thank you.

Look, look, what are you talking about? Do you dare to say that to the abolished sword master?

I dare not.

I have a meeting gift, I can give it to you, no, it's for your master.

Yo, why didn't you take it out before?

I've been hesitating.

What kind of gift, please talk about it carefully.

On the snowy plain outside the pass, earlier, the Situ family had built two cities, one was Pingcheng and the other was Yecheng. Coincidentally, it is the same as the title of your Patriarch, the second city of Pingye.

A snow customs alone can guard the way of our holy clan going south, but if we control the two cities of Pingye, we can take the initiative.

Our holy clan is weak in attacking the city, and now the snowfield is even more scattered. For a city, sending two thousand soldiers and two thousand civilians is enough to defend and wait for help.

The guards of these two cities, I can write to them to surrender.

The blind man smiled,

road:

They still listen to you?

Just give them a step down.

The blind man shook his head and said:

To tell you the truth, it is true that our snow customs has just moved in and the population is not fake, but the troops are not sufficient. It is still difficult to garrison this snow customs, let alone divide our troops to garrison the two isolated cities on the snow field.

Besides, why take it back, after the soldiers and horses have been trained, just fight it down.

Siege the city, but many people will die!

Human life, is it valuable?

The Savage King was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said with a smile, It's really not worth much.

No, it's worth dying.

We've been around for so long, let's get down to business, your time is running out, I can't get a satisfactory answer today, see you next time...

The blind man smiled slightly and continued:

It can only be in my dream.

...

Is the child having nightmares?

Zheng Fan looked at the little prince who rarely burst into tears after waking up from a nap, and asked Ke Shi beside him with some distress.

If you go back to uncle, it's because the slaves didn't take good care of them, and the slaves are guilty.

At this moment, Si Niang, who came over with the account book, said, It has nothing to do with you, go down, and from now on, you don't need to come here again except for breastfeeding once a day in the morning and evening.

Yes, the servant will leave.

Ke Shi immediately bowed her head and said goodbye, in front of Si Niang, she didn't dare to have any other thoughts.

After Ke Shi left,

Siniang said to Zheng Fan who was standing next to the little prince:

Ever since I saw his father that night, I've had nightmares every now and then, falling asleep and being scared and crying.

Oh, what a crime.

To be honest, the little prince is a very well-behaved child who is well-fed and well-behaved. He can play with himself on weekdays without coaxing him, and he is also very cheerful and not withdrawn at all.

It's also interesting, after seeing my father, it's like being hit by something, and I started to have a nightmare.

You know, this child played with Mo Wan when he was young, and the child's bed has been placed on top of Sha Tuo Que Shi's coffin for the past few months.

But still can't resist Lao Tian's father's love is like a mountain.

Zheng Fan suddenly thought of something and said:

I remember that there is a fate that the two dragons can't meet each other, otherwise it will be bad for both parties. It often happens between father and son, so they have to be raised separately, and if they stay together, it will cause great disaster.

I forgot where I read this statement.

I remember that the master used it like this in the comics.

really?

Used in the plot of the magic pill, the magic pill was given by the father for this reason in a certain life...

Okay, don't remind me.

Yes, the servant made a slip of the tongue.

Zheng Fan turned his head to look at the crib,

The stone sealed by the magic pill was silently lying on the little prince's tender legs.

Okay, let the magic pill comfort the child, let's go out and go over the bill.

Okay, my lord.

After Zheng Fan and Siniang left the house,

A cloud of black mist slowly diffused from the stone, turning into the figure of a baby.

The black baby squatted beside the little prince,

by hand,

He stroked the little prince's back.

The little prince looked at the baby with hollow eyes,

Slowly stop crying,

But still sobbing.

Shaoqing,

The little prince turned around, opened the package that had been placed in his crib, pointed to the snacks inside, and imitated the magic pill and said:

Jie Jie...Jie Jie...Jie Jie...Ah Choo!

Because he was making this sound while sobbing, the little prince couldn't help but sneezed a little.

The black baby looked at this scene, grinned, and also laughed:

Jie jie jie...
