After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Can you leave? Leaving is also a word of death. It doesn't matter if he dies alone. How many people in the Fang family are willing to die with him?

The children are still so young.

Fang Xun urged urgently: "Grandpa, we must not leave. We are in the city, the city lord is there, and the people sent by Zhou Heng are still worried. But as long as we leave Lan County, no one in our family will leave." I want to survive. The first priority is to quickly report to the city lord and ask her to help find the real culprit; the second is to find a once and for all solution. My grandson doesn’t want to have to be careful to watch out for someone causing trouble every day in his sleep."

As for such a once-and-for-all solution, Fang Xun did not mention rebellion. His grandfather was still loyal to the imperial court. If he was forced to rebel against the imperial court at this old age, he would probably not agree to it anyway.

Fang Xun left a little room. As expected, Mr. Fang's face softened a little. He raised his eyes and saw all the Fang family members looking at him with hope. He also knew that the situation was over. If he had used power and prestige to suppress them before and forced them to leave, then tonight As soon as he came out, all the frightened Fang family members were pushed against him.

If he insists on leaving again, no one will agree.

Forget it, forceful melons are not sweet. These people follow Xu Zhenying loyally. What kind of ending will they reach in the future? Let’s see what happens to each of them!

Mr. Fang couldn't help but despair.

After a long while, he finally nodded. Everyone in the Fang family was relieved and looked happy. Someone immediately said: "Quick, quick, quick, go tell the city lord that we are not leaving! I have to continue to help with the divided field. They are working in full swing in Ye County, and we can’t lag behind if we follow Mr. Xiao Shuang!"

"Yes, yes, there are also chickens I raise. I see the chicks growing up day by day. The feed record I made is not complete yet. I will report to the chicken coop tomorrow!"

Looking at the smiling Fang family members, Mr. Fang felt that for the first time he was far isolated.

He is already at dusk in the Western Mountains and is destined to decline.

From the beginning of her exile, Xu Zhenying has quietly gathered everyone around her, making people willing to be used by her. Now, even if she raises her arms and calls for rebellion, these people will not hesitate. Crowded.

Xu Zhenying... Such methods of controlling people, such careful thinking, such ambitions and ambitions made Mr. Fang unable to explain how he felt.

Mr. Fang closed his eyes in despair and silently recited the words Xu Zhenying said in his heart: The wheel of history rolls forward and will never change due to personal will.

Xu Zhenying turned around and left after handing over Xu Lezhi's affairs to Xu Yinxi. Xu Lezhi's affairs were all trivial. Now she had no time to pretend to be naughty and fussy with a little girl. As long as Xu Lezhi was obedient in the future, she would not If it causes any big trouble for her, for the sake of her relatives, she won't make Xu Lezhi too sad.

The group of people walked to the gate of the county government office. Xu Zhenying retreated from the crowd and walked up to the small study room of the county government office. The plaque had been replaced with the word "office". The room was not big, only about ten square meters, which was just enough for a place. A few tables and chairs.

Xu Zhenying also ordered people to reinforce the surroundings of the study so that the voices would not be heard from outside, so it was an excellent place for a mysterious meeting.

Xu Zhenying sat down first, then raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Yongkang, then pointed to a piece of dust on his lapel, and said with a smile: "Be more careful next time. If I see the dust on your lapel, I will definitely be suspicious." .”

Jiang Yongkang, the head coach of the army, rarely showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. Speaking of which, this young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but now he has a calm and mature demeanor.

Xu Zhenying continued: "What happened tonight must be kept strictly confidential. Although Fang's family members were not injured, if Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo knew about it, they would inevitably feel alienated from me."

He gently pushed away the dust with his fingers and nodded in agreement, "Everyone in the Fang family is like a frightened bird. Let's ignite them completely with another fire. Now they are incompatible with the Zhou family's court, and they will surely be used by the city lord soon. .Even if the city lords say they want to rebel in the future, they will stand on our side without hesitation."

Xu Zhenying sighed, "If possible, I don't want to use this method to keep them. But I still have great use for Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo, so I can't let them leave just yet."

Xu Zhenying rubbed his temples tiredly, but heard Jiang Yongkang say: "I think everyone in the Fang family, except Mr. Fang, wants to stay in Lan County. Our fire tonight also gave them an excuse. Let them stay openly. I wonder if Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo will thank the city lord for this."

"There is no need to beautify yourself, deception is deception. How to deal with the inner condemnation is something I should solve." Xu Zhenying knocked on the table, as if he didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, "What about you, when are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow." Jiang Yongkang said very simply. If the refugees hadn't rushed into Lan County today, Jiang Yongkang would have left long ago.

"Very good." There wasn't any reluctance between the two of them. Jiang Yongkang and Xu Zhenying were truly comrades in the trenches. She just said a few words, "We will proceed on two separate lines in the future. , you go out and get a mask to avoid being recognized in the future. From now on, I will be in the Ming Dynasty and take in the refugees near Jinzhou Prefecture. You will be in the dark and responsible for clearing out the bandits in Jinzhou Prefecture. I will provide you with food, grass and weapons. , you are responsible for the secret training. If necessary, I will send a few trusted confidants to carry out ideological reform on them. What I want is a group of soldiers who are good at fighting, not a group of bandits and hooligans."

Jiang Yongkang nodded repeatedly.

"Also, others still don't know what we are doing. After I swallow up several cities such as Lan County and Ye County, I will definitely occupy Jinzhou Prefecture. If there is anything inconvenient for me to do, I will write to you, You first cooperate with me as a rogue bandit. When I occupy Jinzhou Mansion, they must understand."

Jiang Yongkang cupped his hands and said: "Understood. After I took in the bandits, I immediately raised the banner of rebellion to attract firepower for Lan County and give Lan County time to develop."

Xu Zhenying smiled, "Then let me ask you, what will you do if the imperial soldiers come?"

Jiang Yongkang tilted his head, but the young man's eyes were very determined, "Of course the main thing is to preserve our troops. If they come, we will run away and fight them to move to another place. The main purpose is to cause harassment to the Jinzhou Prefecture."

Xu Zhenying smiled with satisfaction and gave him a thumbs up: "That's absolutely right. We don't need brothers to work hard. You also need to develop and bring out another team of elite soldiers to supplement our combat power. Just lead the brothers to fight. Guerrilla warfare, by the way, we also promote our Lan County, so that the people of Jinzhou Prefecture also know that there is a paradise here, and we must occupy the high ground of public opinion no matter what."

"Okay." Jiang Yongkang responded.

He will leave again tomorrow, and I don't know how long it will take before he leaves this time.

Although he has been wandering around since the lumber case, he finally has a little sense of belonging here in Lan County, but now he has to embark on a journey again.

But this journey is for a better tomorrow. Jiang Yongkang looked at the girl under the light. She was dressed like a man, with her hair tied up high, revealing her full forehead.

Her skin is very white, unlike any other woman in the world. Her eyes are sharp, firm, and calm, as peaceful and tolerant as the sea. It seems that only by being around her can one be able to withstand the wind and rain outside.

The man raised his eyes and stared at him, seemingly puzzled: "What else is there?"

Jiang Yongkang said truthfully: "I'm a little reluctant to part with it."

If it were any other woman, she would definitely be shy for a moment, or at least a little unnatural. But Xu Zhenying just smiled heartily, "No one wants to leave the homeland they know and love, but for our common cause and dream, not only you, but also I will be on the run all year round. Boy, just get used to it. Write if you have anything to do connect."

Jiang Yongkang also smiled slightly, with a little light in his eyes, and murmured again: "Yes, for our common cause and dream——"

As for the Xu family, there was obviously a falling out.

The two men sent by Jiang Yongkang strictly followed the order and actually escorted Xu Lezhi to Xu Deyuan.

Tonight, because of the fire in the Fang family, the city was already very lively. Naturally, everyone in the Xu family had no intention of sleeping. In addition, the two soldiers knocked on the door loudly, which naturally attracted the Xu family to come out.

Then I saw the soldier handing Xu Lezhi to Xu Deyuan in front of everyone, and said expressionlessly: "Second Master Xu, the city lord has ordered us to hand Miss Xu Qi over to you in person. Miss Xu Qi touched her privately at night. We went to the room of the second son of the Fang family and wanted to do something wrong. We were trapped in it due to the fire in the Fang family and were later rescued by soldiers. The city lord ordered us to tell the second son of the Xu family that Miss Xu Qi, a woman, had gone to the house without informing the owner. It is really inappropriate to go to a single man's room. Fortunately, the Fang family did not hold him accountable. Otherwise, the Xu family would be disgraced. The city lord asks you to keep a close watch on him and not to embarrass the Fang family and the city lord."

Perhaps considering that this was a private matter of the Xu family, the two soldiers took Xu Zhenying's message and left on their own. Xu Yinxi saw everyone in the Xu family looking at her with blank faces. She looked very embarrassed and had to say: "Dad. …”

Even as smart as Xu Yinxi, she didn't know what to say when faced with this situation.

Xu Lezhi was already trembling with fear and hurriedly defended himself: "Dad, that's not the case. I rushed in to save the eldest lady of the Fang family when I saw the fire. I...I couldn't find the direction after I went in, so I went there." Mr. Fang’s room! Xu Qingying wanted to harm me. She dragged me out in front of everyone just to deal with our second room!"

Xu Yinxi frowned, with a trace of anger on his face, "Xu Lezhi, that's enough! Until now, you are still telling lies! You have never visited Miss Fang since she was banned. What should you say at this time? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to be a sister to Miss Fang? I just said that in front of others, just to save you some face. I never thought that you didn’t want to repent. When you came to my father, you were still full of lies! Tell the truth now, Why did you sneak into Fang Xun's room? What on earth are you planning to do?!"

Xu Lezhi hesitated, naturally he didn't dare to say anything.

Aunt Mei chuckled softly at this moment, "Miss Qi, you are alone in the middle of the night, are you rushing to have a tryst?"

Lian was angry with Xu Lezhi, and even more angry with Aunt Mei, and immediately scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, the city lord said, if a man and a woman live in the same room, is there nothing more than a tryst?"

Aunt Mei sneered, "Is Xu Lezhi worthy of being compared with the city lord? What's more, she is just an idler, what official business does she have? Mistress, you are just lying to yourself. We have so many pairs of eyes here, who doesn't know She, Xu Le, went to a girl's house to have a hot face but a cold butt, and they would ignore her even if they asked for advice. She shaved her head and picked a hot one, which is not a shame!"

Now, no matter how slow Xu Deyuan is, he understands. His face is green and white, and he feels that he has never been so humiliated in his life. Xu Zhenying sending someone over like this is tantamount to a slap in the face. , which made him ashamed and angry, and also hated Xu Lezhi even more deeply.

"You are frivolous and shameless! You have completely disgraced my Xu family! I must teach you a lesson today so that you don't go around seducing men after leaving this door and ruining the reputation of my Xu family!"

These words were so vicious that Xu Deyuan didn't notice and kept shouting: "Here comes someone, bring me my whip -"

Since Xu Deyuan injured his right hand, his prestige in the family has been completely lost. Therefore, for a while, everyone was watching the excitement, and no one paid him any attention.

Xu Deyuan was even more furious, "Okay, all of you are rebelling, right? Stay still? Where's my whip!"

Only Aunt Mei moved her body and took the whip over with some eagerness.

When Xu Lezhi saw the long whip, she naturally had to hide. She had seen how hard Xu Deyuan beat people before, and now he went straight behind Lian.

Lian was angry and resentful this time, angry at Xu Lezhi for not living up to expectations, and hating Xu Lezhi for being ignorant. Xu Deyuan was even more furious when she refused to hide, "Xu Lezhi, come here today." Son, I must let you see the family traditions of my Xu family, so as not to have others point their noses at me and scold me for my lack of education as the second wife of the Xu family!"

This time Xu Lezhi did not dare to hide or run. No matter how Xu Deyuan took the whip, he struck Xu Lezhi with grinning teeth. Seeing this, Lian felt very distressed. She grabbed Xu Deyuan's whip and said : "That's enough. You educate your son. It's not your turn to take care of my daughter!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Xu Yinxi had no choice but to hold Xu Deyuan and said: "Father, the elders in the other rooms are here, don't let outsiders see the joke. Let's go inside and talk."

Only then did Xu Deyuan see the people from the main room gathering around. Huang Cui'e even grabbed a handful of peanuts and leaned against the wall to watch the battle, her eyes filled with excitement.

His eyebrows twitched and he turned around angrily, "Xu Lezhi, get out of here!"

Xu Lezhi entered the house, knowing that he was in big trouble this time, so he had to kneel down before entering the house.

For a while, only Xu Deyuan, Lian Shi and Xu Yinxi were left in the house.

Xu Deyuan was so angry that his face was livid, he covered his chest, and stared at Xu Lezhi with his eyes, as if he would tear her to pieces in the next second.
