The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

Xu Bei has always been very self-aware. He doesn't have the so-called aura of dominance, he can subdue countless younger brothers with a single shake, and he doesn't have a clever head full of schemes, which makes him appear unpredictable. He is just an ordinary person. Well, in the previous life, even the golden finger like the portable space turned out to be extremely useless in the end, and it was pure waste.

He was able to get to that point in his previous life. Although the space helped him a little at the beginning, it was more because of his daring and daring to make a fortune, not because of his cleverness. He has more foresight than others, but when it comes to business methods, he is far inferior to White Fox.

He didn't have many advantages, and he was notorious in the countryside in his early years because he never gave people who were not kind to him a chance. He is such a stingy and stingy person, but he is also an ordinary person, When there is enthusiasm and impulsiveness, even if you know that you broke in by accident, as long as you think that because he selfishly did not make a move, countless people will be lost under the iron hooves of the barbarians outside the pass, and countless dead souls will be howling. His conscience couldn't be at peace, and he couldn't tell himself that all this had nothing to do with him.

His brother Bei is also a man of loyalty. Lao Qiu clearly knew his ability, but he didn't betray him in front of his most respected fourth son—of course he didn't know that Lao Qiu's expression had already betrayed him—seeing Lao Qiu From his ferocious face, he knew how much he hated those robbers, how could he trap Lao Qiu in injustice.

Although at the beginning he had some intentions to take advantage of Brother Zhang and Lao Qiu, Xu Bei had always been sincere to his friends and brothers in his two lifetimes. Although the contact time was short, he just knew that these two people and Tie Brother Niu, like his brothers in his previous life, is a friend worthy of his lifetime.

In other words, they are very similar people in their bones.

At this moment, Xu Bei did not regret his choice.

"Go, let's go back!"

"Brothers!"

The two looked at each other with a desperate look, couldn't help laughing, and walked with their arms together.

In the valley, Doctor Lin arranged several pools according to the water temperature, and ordered Zhu Kangcheng to throw his master into the hottest pool, where he had already put some medicinal materials into it.Zhu Kangcheng hesitated for fear of scalding the Fourth Young Master's face, but this eccentric genius doctor actually walked away without saying a word. It was the Fourth Young Master who asked Zhu Kangcheng to follow his orders.

The fourth young master soaked in the pool wearing only a pair of underwear, his face was blushing, obviously from the smoke, the excessively high water temperature caused large beads of sweat to roll down his forehead.

"Young Master trusts Miracle Doctor Lin so much?" Seeing Miracle Doctor Lin leave, Zhu Kang Chengcai said, although he also hoped that Miracle Doctor Lin could cure Young Master well.

"There are no bad results left and right, why don't you give it a go, Kang Cheng, don't worry, I can bear this pain." The fourth son said in a steady voice with his eyes closed, leaning on the stone by the pool.

Zhu Kangcheng felt uncomfortable when he heard this. He knew the real condition of the young master's body. It was not an ordinary weakness, but caused by poisoning. Every time the poison occurred, he would torture the young master to death. The young master had long been used to the pain.

Wanting to make the young master less painful, Zhu Kangcheng talked about other topics to draw the young master's attention away: "Young master, why did you talk about the affairs of Beijing with Jiu Shao in front of them today? Are they gone?" This was also puzzling to him, but he knew that what the young master did was not careless and negligent, and there should be other deep meanings, and the people he was referring to were more Xu Bei, such as Lao Qiu and Tie. For Niu, who retired from the army because of disability, he still trusts and likes him very much.

The eyelashes trembled, the fourth young master opened his eyes, and said with deep meaning: "If my predictions are not bad, we will see them again soon. If we are lucky, maybe my Xiao family and Beidi can get through this smoothly. this crisis."

Zhu Kangcheng was surprised: "Could it be related to Xu Bei? How could he play such a big role?" It's not that he looked down on Xu Bei, but according to his understanding, although there was improvement later, the experience of the past 15 years is very simple. , How can it become the key to this time?

The fourth young master also had doubts in his eyes and said: "I'm not sure right now, but if he can come back, then there is no need to worry."

He is also betting that there are too many doubts about Xu Bei, and he is betting that Xu Bei has something he can use, so he deliberately talks about the unfavorable situation in Beidi in front of Xu Bei and Lao Qiu. Qiu's role in it will be very important.Even if he guessed in the wrong direction, it would just continue to act according to the original plan. No, it was much more beneficial than what he had imagined when he first came out, because at that time he did not expect that the ninth master of the Wan family would act in such a way. Appearing in front of him, although I don't know how Jiu Shao learned the secrets of King Chen, but as long as the Patriarch of the Wan family believes, he will definitely favor Dingbei Palace.

When he came out this time, he also discovered that not everything can be expected under his control.

The fourth son has not finished the medicinal bath in the hot spring. Zhu Kangcheng heard that Tieniu came in to deliver the report. Xu Bei and Qiu Cheng asked to see the fourth son. Because he hadn't heard what the Fourth Young Master said before, he didn't know why the two who had left returned and why they asked to see the Fourth Young Master.

"Bring them in." Fourth Young Master's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Fourth Young Master." Tieniu went back honestly and brought the words back, looking at Lao Qiu and Xu Bei with worried eyes.

"Brother Tieniu, don't worry, it's a good thing, not a bad thing, don't worry." Xu Bei grinned, of course he can only laugh and not cry at this time.

Tieniu nodded: "Then be careful."

Xu Bei and Lao Qiu looked at each other and raised their legs to follow Tieniu to go back. In the wooden house, Miracle Doctor Lin snorted uncomfortably: "Go and tell the kid behind that this is the old man's territory, and I want to go back to my own place." Go." He didn't like outsiders to step into his place, but the kid behind him didn't take him seriously, so he decided to add something to the medicine bath to make the kid suffer, hum, when he Just kidding?

But that kid hasn't snorted until now, this kind of endurance made Doctor Lin look a little higher at the fourth son, he knows the effect of the medicine bath he made except for the person concerned, but he thought of this Knowing what kind of strange poison this person has been poisoned by, and what kind of torture he has endured these years, he can understand where this extraordinary endurance comes from.

Xu Bei and Lao Qiu froze for a moment, smiled wryly and continued to follow.

After Tieniu brought the two of them, he turned and left. Even if he was worried, he couldn't help it. Even Zhu Kangcheng retreated under the signal of the fourth master's eyes, leaving Xu Bei and Lao Qiu to face the four soaked in the pool. Young master, it is obvious that the fourth young master is in a weak position and the two of them are looking down from above, but they just feel that the aura is weak for no reason, and some hands and feet don't know how to put them.

Xu Bei was even thinking, should he kneel down?The hierarchy of the damned ancients is really terrible.

Lao Qiu was not as entangled as he was. He wanted to salute the fourth son when he came up. The fourth son is quite amiable.

Forget it, a person with his brain should not deal with smart people. After finishing speaking, he will be killed or cut at the discretion of the fourth master, so Xu Bei's heart swayed, his eyebrows twitched, and he greeted the fourth master with a pair of smiles. For some reason, the eyes of the white fox reappeared in his mind, and the confidence in his heart suddenly sank, his head drooped, and he looked like a big dog with a drooping head.

"If the Fourth Young Master trusts Xu, Xu can do his best in the matter of transporting food. Xu also does not want to see the people in the Northland go to waste. I don't tell lies. Whether the Fourth Young Master believes it or not, I occasionally talk to a strange person. After learning the magic technique of keeping things in your sleeves, you can carry things that fill up to five rooms." Xu Bei broke the jar and said.

Seeing Xu Bei's appearance, Lao Qiu couldn't help but sympathize with him. The Fourth Young Master is not easy to fool when he looks young. Who can bear the pressure of the Fourth Young Master?Lao Qiu helped to explain: "Fourth son, Brother Xu Bei does have this ability. I have seen him perform the immortal technique with my own eyes. If I didn't confirm it with my own eyes, my subordinates would not dare to vouch for him."

Fourth Young Master blinked, he was waiting, but he didn't expect such a result.

Although I have boldly speculated, everything is empty until the result comes out.

He is a careful and considerate person, otherwise he would not be alive today. Although he is protected by his elder brother, the backyard of the palace is not a peaceful place.

Although he was a little drowsy in the cave, he could see something suspicious. Xu Bei said he had received the goods, but where is his goods?He didn't believe Xu Bei's previous cover-up, he and Lao Qiu clearly had received the goods and wanted to detour back.Although he is not as familiar with the terrain here as Tieniu who lives here, he has a thorough understanding of the basic terrain before coming out, and he has memorized it in his mind, and he can tell the real situation with a few words .

The strange disappearance of Shanhuo made him think about borrowing grain. If there is a way to make the grain disappear quietly under the eyes of others, he can strive for a better situation for Dingbei Palace.In order to confirm his guess, he also secretly sent a person to check the road that Xu Bei and the others walked. Although it was severely damaged by the heavy rain, he still saw that the traces of the wheels were different from those later, that is to say, Originally, there were indeed mountain goods.

Afterwards, he used the matter of transporting food to test things out, and it really made him see the abnormality of Xu Bei and Lao Qiu. They really had something unusual in their hearts, but he didn't actually know what kind of unusual thing it was. grasp.

Now they told themselves that it was the magic of heaven and earth in their sleeves!

Rationally, he felt that he should reprimand them. This statement is pure nonsense, but it can be seen that the demeanor of the two people is definitely not fake. Neither of them is a person with a deep city, otherwise they would not be angry when he was probing. A lot of flaws were exposed, so he had to believe this seemingly ridiculous statement.

"Xu Bei, I want to see your immortality with my own eyes." The words were clear in a somewhat vain voice, and Xu Bei raised his head in surprise, but there was no doubt in those delicate eyes, only curiosity and curiosity. encourage.

Lao Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. Since the fourth son said that, he believed that they were not cheating. As long as the fourth master had seen the fairy method with his own eyes, Xu Bei would definitely be reused by the fourth master. He did not believe that the fourth master would tear down the bridge and kill the donkey Those who are not good enough will abandon Xu Bei when they are done using them.

Xu Bei was not as relaxed as Lao Qiu, because he had learned a lesson from the white fox, and when he first met, he identified the fourth son as an upgraded version of the white fox. , looked around for a while, selected a stone half the height of a person, raised his hand and brushed it... the stone disappeared.

Lao Qiu had seen it before, so he didn't show too much shock, while the fourth son... showed a look of contemplation: Is there really such a mysterious thing in the world?

Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he still had doubts. It was hard for him to believe in the gods and Buddhas. Otherwise, where would there be so many injustices in the world? It is better to ask God and Buddha than to ask himself. He has always believed that man will conquer heaven.

Xu Bei glanced at the fourth master, turned around and walked in another direction, stopped after about ten meters away, sent the stone out again, and then returned to the original place to wait for the fourth master's further instructions.

Seeing that the position of the stone changed, the fourth son thought that Xu Bei is a clever person. If he appeared in the original position, it might make people mistakenly think that he had played a trick to make a fool of himself, but Xu Bei easily put a piece and a half The human-height stone moved a bit, but Xu Bei, who had never practiced martial arts, could not move this stone.

It does have some skills.

"Can you ensure that this skill will not fail suddenly, and that you can safely transport a large amount of food back from the south?" the fourth young master looked into Xu Bei's eyes and asked.

"If the fourth son believes in me, I can do it." Xu Bei said, "Besides, the monk can't run away from the temple. Everything Xu Bei is doing now is for my brother." The implication is that the fourth son can do it Xu Bei would never dare to deceive his younger brother as a hostage.

"I heard from Kang Cheng that your younger brother is very talented in reading, so let your younger brother put his heart into it. He will be able to participate in the theory competition in the Northland in three years. If you have any problems, you can ask Yunzhi for advice." The fourth son smiled slightly. This person is interesting. It can be seen that he has not completely let go of his guard like Lao Qiu. This is in exchange for reassuring him and actively revealing his weaknesses.

But for the Fourth Young Master, if he really has the ability, of course he will not miss it. Although Xu Bei is only from a peasant family, as long as he really has this ability, it will play a very important role in his side. This small request will naturally be satisfied. promise.

"Thank you, Fourth Young Master." Xu Bei expressed his gratitude this time with more sincerity. He knew about the theory contest held by the palace, which is equivalent to the imperial examination set up by the small imperial court of Dingbei Palace to select talents and officials for the palace and the North. But not all scholars are eligible to participate. The Fourth Young Master’s words are a promise to give Min Qing a place, and that Yunzhi is also a close friend of the Fourth Young Master. If he guides Min Qing, it is for Min Qing’s sake. Paving the way for the future.

With the task arrangement given to him by the fourth son, Xu Bei and Lao Qiu left again. Tieniu didn't ask any more questions, and Wan Jiu, who was sitting in the yard, didn't even show curiosity. Only myself and Lao Qiu are stupid.Before the four young masters asked the essence one by one, it almost made him expose the essence of space instead of immortality. It was not like Lao Qiu's shock and excitement when he learned about it. Beihou's heart is still cool.

Lao Qiu is still in admiration for the Fourth Young Master. In such a short period of time, the Fourth Young Master has made the most careful arrangements. Except for this mountain man, who else would have thought of the secret chess set by the Fourth Young Master.

Xu Bei secretly smacked his lips and sighed. He was on a pirate ship and couldn't get off, so he had to bite the bullet and do errands for the fourth master.Fortunately, the things that the Fourth Young Master did were for the soldiers and common people in the Northland. He was not helping the evildoers. Although no one would remember his achievements in the future—his golden fingers could not be seen. steady and sure.

"Let's go, let's go back as soon as possible and finish the matter that the fourth son told me." Lao Qiu said excitedly, he was very happy to be able to saddle up for the palace and the fourth son again, and his disabled body can still play a role.

"Okay, thanks to Lao Qiu, you are with me." Xu Bei cheered up, since it has become a fact, he can't shrink back, otherwise it would be too unmanly.

"Haha, I can't wait." Thinking of being able to smuggle them under the nose of the enemy, Lao Qiu became excited just thinking about it.

Xu Bei shook his head speechlessly, but was gradually infected by Lao Qiu's excitement, and his emotions were also mobilized.

&&&

When Xu Bei and Lao Qiu were far away, the fourth young master pondered for a moment, thinking about where his arrangement was still missing. Besides, he didn't put all the chips on Xu Bei. For his own life, another way will be prepared at any time, and neither he nor Dingbei Palace can lose.

"Eleven." Fourth Young Master called in a low voice.

A black shadow appeared next to the pool, it was the shadow and guards of the Fourth Young Master who was secretly following him. The Fourth Young Master still lowered his head and said, "You have checked those traces, and you have also seen the previous performance. You say, believable." ?"

Eleven respectfully replied: "Master, Eleven didn't see any flaws. The stones did disappear and appear out of thin air, and there was no trace of existence in between." The person who helped him further confirm.

"It seems that you believe it too." The fourth son's eyes flashed, and he sighed again, "I have to believe it too, forget it, as long as he is really capable of transporting the food back, I will credit him with a great achievement."

Eleven didn't reply, the fourth young master waved his hand, and Eleven disappeared again.

They didn't encounter any troubles along the way. The two went out of the mountain and returned to Kang County smoothly. They drove the carriage back to the county. Lao Qiu found a hidden corner, and Xu Bei moved the goods in the space to the cart. On the scene, Lao Qiu watched happily and said, "You are a cunning boy, how much money can you save with this skill?"

Kang County is under the jurisdiction of Ma Zongbing. The checkpoint set up at the gate of the city registers the goods sold by the merchants who enter the city, and collects a certain amount of business tax to supplement the silver consumption of the military. This is also allowed by the Dingbei Palace. , after all, the imperial court was unwilling to fully bear this huge expense.

The situation between the north and the south was tense, and more checkpoints were set up on the official roads, and business taxes were levied on merchants traveling from south to north.

"Haha, so-so." Xu Bei said modestly, but Lao Qiu couldn't see his complacent expression, his tail was almost up to the sky.Tax evasion, right? He did it a lot in his previous life. Of course, he was still a serious businessman later on.

Xu Bei put away his embarrassing face and said to Lao Qiu: "Lao Qiu, go home first and explain, I will wait for you at home." It is also necessary to settle the accounts clearly, to settle the previous accounts first, and then to make arrangements for the future.

Lao Qiu didn't give in, took the money and waved his hand, and disappeared in the alley in a blink of an eye. Xu Bei continued to drive the ox cart. After leaving these days, he missed Min Qing more and more. It feels so good to have someone waiting for him to go home.

Xu Minqing met Jiang Feng again in the teahouse, and Jiang Feng was a little busy after days of running around, but he didn't dare to delay to see the young master.

Jiang Feng was still a little cautious, but his eyes were also full of excitement and joy. Xu Minqing knew the result of his action when he saw his expression for the first time: "Master Xu, I found it. I saw the green sleeve. Although her name is Chen Cao'er now, and her face has aged a lot, she can recognize him at a glance as the green-sleeved girl next to the young mistress, but she didn't approach her according to Master Xu's order, so she wouldn't know that I went there."

Said Jiang Feng raised his head again, with tears in his eyes, seeing that the young master was still alive and growing up safely, at this moment he did not blame Lu Xiu for concealing it, but thanked her for finding a good family to raise the young master grow up.After thinking about it carefully after the initial anger, although the Xu family's big house is not good, but the young master's adoptive parents have indeed done their best for the young master. In such an environment, even the biological parents may not be able to do this. step.

"Well, I see." Xu Minqing didn't show much surprise or excitement, as if what he heard was something that had nothing to do with him, he lowered his eyes and played with the teacup in his hand, "Who is left in the Jiang family?" There are some useless people like old and weak women and children left, so apart from a false name, what use is the Jiang family to him?

Don't blame him for being cold-blooded and ruthless, the Jiang family that came out of nowhere, how could he develop feelings?He wants to plan for himself and his elder brother's future, and he can make arrangements now.

"Master Xu," Jiang Feng didn't dare to change his address, seeing the young master's calm expression, he gradually calmed down, "Now the Jiang family is left with the second master and the two young ladies under the second master's knees and Master Ke, and the second master also A leg was injured by a refugee back then, and the grandmothers who survived were remarried by the second master."

Xu Minqing's heart sank gradually, and the situation was worse than he thought. There was only one adult man with a broken leg left in the big Jiang family. He pursed his lips tightly and asked, "Master Ke? How old are you?"

"Master Ke is six years old this year. The second master personally enlightened Master Ke and is very strict with Master Ke. Now the second master is the master of the village and accepts more than a dozen students." Jiang Fengyue said more and more ashamed, he realized that even The young master couldn't get better conditions when he returned to Jiang's house. It seemed that it was not as good as now, at least the young master's adoptive brother sent him to Xingzhi Academy to study.

As for Young Master Ke, no matter how much Second Master expects of him, unless there is an order from the court, he will not be able to get ahead in the imperial examination in this life.

Xu Minqing's lips were pursed into a straight line. At first, he guessed from Jiang Feng's clothes that the Jiang family's situation was not good, but it turned out to be even worse.He had a headache, and he wasn't sure if it was a drag on him and his elder brother to let the Jiang family find him.At first, he was attracted by the reputation of the Jiang family in Jiang Feng's mouth. Although it was a false name, it was enough to become a capital of a scholar.

Although he was somewhat ambitious, he was still young and inexperienced, so he was a little disappointed and at a loss when he first got such a situation.But he quickly told himself in his heart that he can change everything, he is still young, and he still has a lot of room for growth, and one day he will grow into a towering tree that can protect his elder brother, so that his elder brother no longer has to worry about them. living all over the place.

When the thunder rang that night, he stood in front of the window and looked at the sky outside, thinking that maybe his eldest brother was drenched in the rain outside, would he be sick?But he couldn't follow his elder brother to take care of him, which made him feel weak and wanted to make progress even more.

Thinking of his eldest brother, his heart gradually calmed down. Right now, it is better to keep the Jiang family. He will be famous one day. The reputation of the Jiang family is undoubtedly very important to him.
