Chapter 11 Recalling the Past

The three brothers stood side by side on the bow of the Sanlong ship, thinking about the past and mixed feelings.

"It's this big river waterway. In order to avoid the pursuers of Yu Culture, we jumped into the river from the cliff bank over there. We almost drowned and got our mother to save us and repel Yu Culture." Yun Yi sighed.

When the sails entered the river, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at the other side of Yunyi's words, and a feeling of sadness surged in their hearts, and they were speechless.

"From here, the first big city is Danyang. Do you remember? My mother wandered around the city with us. She also went to pawn things and invited us to the restaurant after getting the silver. There we met Second Brother Song. We were so jealous at that time. Alas! If we know that we don't take water and land. I don't need to... Alas!" Kou Zhong also sighed that the three closest relatives of the three brothers, Sister Su and Zhen's sister-in-law, were rescued one after another. Only the godmother Fu Junyu left alone. When she thought of this, she suddenly felt a piercing pain.

Xu Ziling was silent and looked up at the night sky. He remembered what Shi Qingxuan said on the stargazing platform of Shen Gong City that day. If she returned to Tiansu, which star belonged to her?

"In those years, we were just three impoverish and penniless hairy little boy, but now we have become a figure who can't shake the world by stepping on our feet. We have lived up to the expectations of our godmother." Yun Yi also sank in painful and touching memories.

"Thinking about it, it seems that there is indeed a master in the dark. My mother hates the Han people so much, but she looks at us differently. What is this fate? If we unify the world in the future, we will definitely treat our mother's people kindly and redeem Yang Guang's bastard's evil deeds against them!" Kou Zhong said from the bottom of his heart.

"In my opinion, conquering the Korean Peninsula can really bring them peace and happiness. In the future, we will definitely include Korea in our sphere of influence." Yun Yi held an iron fist and said.

"Indeed, the current North Korea is in chaos. The three countries are competing for hegemony, and it is difficult to unify. If we intervene, it may really be more beneficial to the people!" Kou Zhong answered.

"Don't you want to be an emperor?" Xu Ziling looked at Kou Zhong and wondered.

"I think so. As the woman said, hope and reality are always the opposite. You know my situation better than anyone else. Alas! I am on the road of no return to compete for hegemony, not for personal likes and dislikes, but for the well-being of the people in the world, and there is no way to turn back. Just like my bad relationship with Zhizhi, no one can change it. Kou Zhong looked at Yun Yi and said defeatedly. At present, only Yun Yi can understand the trouble and involuntarily brought about by competing for the world.

"Don't say these annoying things. This time we went to the Sanlong Valley to worship the godmother, killing Yu Wenhua and being comforted!" Yun Yi changed the topic.

When Kou Zhong heard this, instead of being happy, tears welled up in his eyes and said sadly, "Because I'm afraid to go back, one day when I don't go back, my mother seems to live freely in the quiet valley. But when you have to face your mother's grave, no matter how great the achievement is, all dreams will be disillusioned like bubbles.

"You haven't seen your mother yet. You have cried so much. After so many years, Yu Culture has become a cup of loess as soon as possible. Can't you accept the fact?" Xu Ziling touched Kou Zhong's shoulder and laughed miserably.

"Hate lives forever." Kou Zhong sobbed

Yun Yi also came forward and hugged the two brothers, and the three cried and hugged them together.

......

The dark and thick clouds are hanging in the low sky, the stars and moon are not light, and the big trees on the top of the mountain with leaves drooping with the wind without resistance under the cold wind. In the depths of the mountains, there is also a sad cry of the jackdaws, which adds to the memory in their hearts. Kou Zhong knelt down in front of Fu Jun's grave and said sadly, "I suddenly feel like I'm in despair. No matter how hard I work, I won't get a cup of loess in the end. What's the meaning of the bitter pursuit of life?"

"Zhong Shao must not have such an idea. The reason why people exist has its own meaning. Now, our brothers are carrying the rise and fall of summer on their shoulders. There must be a trace of relaxation, otherwise we will become sinners for thousands of years!" Yun Yi, who knelt aside, persuaded him.

Kou Zhong's tone is full of despair, loss and helplessness. Both Yun Yi and Xu Ziling understand that Kou Zhong is an emotional person, and his heart is far from as strong as the outside. At this moment, he returns to the old place where his heart is broken, and he is reminded of the sadness of Fu Junyu's death, which has been buried for a long time, so he has a feeling of frustration. War is a terrible game to see who gets hurt more seriously. Now the world is in control, but there is a sense of unrealism.

"Yun Shao has always been so rational in front of Da Ye. I think you will be stronger than me as the emperor!" Kou Zhong sighed again that since the brother met, Kou Zhong wanted to give up the emperor's seat to Yun Yi, but Yun Yi had never nodded.

"Zhong Shao! Don't say this again in the future. After capturing Luoyang, you will become the emperor and fight with Li Valve!" Yun Yi said solemnly.

"If we don't get the "Eight for Long Life", we are still gangsters in Yangzhou today. But fate is like this, and my mother lost her precious life when she was in full bloom. Alas! What's the point of God want us to take such a rugged road? Kou Zhong was dejected when he heard Yun Yi's refusal.

"There is no way to complain about heaven and earth here, because from ancient times to the present, no one has ever mastered such unfathomable and ethereal things as fate and will. The only way is to treat the past that has become a reality and bravely venture into the unknown future. The past can never be recovered. As long as we live up to our expectations, our spirit in heaven can rest in peace with a smile. Xu Ziling took a deep breath in the wind and said in a low voice.

"Xiaoyun, Xiaoling! I'm really in pain. I don't understand why I'm so frustrated. The paradox is that the most difficult days should pass, but I can't feel the happiness of winning at all. It was not until this moment that I really believed that you loved Song Yuzhi deeply. It was because of losing her that you felt that there was no point in fighting for the world. Kou Zhong laughed and said that since he was resolutely scolded by Song Yuzhi in Shengong City last time, he was often in a trance and depressed.

"We have no way back. The development of the current situation can no longer be controlled by our brothers at will. We should not only be responsible for the army under our command, but also for the people in the world. Under such circumstances, personal gains and losses can only be put aside, and must lead the young commander and the arrow army to the final victory. Yun Yi said helplessly that since he embarked on the road of hegemony, he has lost more and less than what he has gained, and he has long been unable to calculate clearly.

"Yes! Xiaoyun is right. There must be a big smelt after the chaos. Although I hate war, I still have no choice but to support you. Now I have to find ways to treat your damaged heart. You will be fine soon! Great joy and great sadness, it's a common meal for you. Xu Ziling also comforted.

"But it's much more comfortable after crying! You are right! What's the difference between personal honor and loss compared with the suffering of all people? Kou Zhong turned his sadness into joy and changed his face.

"I want to ask my brothers for a favor. Which of you will go to see Zhizhi and tell her that I deeply regret my previous behavior, and I have loved her deeply from beginning to end. I can't stand the inner pain of losing her, let alone ruin the rest of my life because of my bad deeds."

"You still need to tie the bell to untie the bell!" Yun Yi and Xu Ziling vetoed in unison.

......

Before going south, in the Jiangdu Palace.

"What exactly does Lingnan mean? Is Brother Changlin familiar with the affairs of the Song family?" Kou Zhong asked.

"Lingnan refers to the vast area south of Yuecheng, Dupang, Mengzhu, Qitian and Dayu, which almost belongs to the territory of the Song family. The Song family started its business with livestock, jade, pearls, rhinoceros and other local products. It started from Xiongqu and developed into a local political force. Because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, since the five generations, there has been no As for who is the emperor, he must give him the face of the Song family. When the Tiandao Song is missing, the Song family will be a hundred times more expensive, and they also enjoy a high status in the world. In the martial arts forest south of the river, no one dares to doubt his qualification as the world's best knife. Chen Changlin replied.

When Kou Zhong heard this, he first was eager for Song Que's demeanor, and then he thought of Song Yuzhi, and his heart became hot. Thinking about whether Song Yuzhi would go to Lingnan this time, he would change his mind. For a moment, he fell into thought and suddenly fell silent.

"I think the young marshal should understand the status of the Song family in local politics and martial arts, right?" Chen Changlin sorted out the information in his head and said.

"The status of martial arts should be obvious. The south is a master who can be famous all over the country. Who else is there? Although Huang Gong's mistake is wise, he was always defeated by Ning Daoqi's subordinates, but Song Que has not met his opponent until now. Let's talk about other things!" Kou Zhong nodded. When the two brothers left, they suddenly felt that their days were particularly sad. They had something to think about or happy things that they didn't talk to, and they didn't do anything energetic.

"To understand the situation in Lingnan, first of all, it should be clear that it is a place of slang and miscellaneous. Slang people are divided into different ethnic groups such as Wuwu Li, Xiyuan Barbarian and Huang Tong Man, which are collectively called slang Li." Chen Changlin said in detail.

"The names of these ethnic groups are strange in ancient times, so it's better to remember them collectively as Nanman." As soon as Kou Zhong heard this, he seemed to be in Lingnan, and his head began to get bigger.

"Whether it is called a southern barbarian or a slang bureaucrat, it has a derogatory meaning. In fact, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the southern barbarians have gradually become Chinese, but those who live in remote places still live in a kind of house called pole railings, made of bamboo and wood, covered with thatched rice, divided into upper and lower floors, upper floors, and lower floors to raise animals. You can avoid both miasma and beasts, and you can know the way of life. Chen Changlin said the original. Hearing this, Kou Zhong was distracted again. If YY could spend the night with Song Yuzhi in this kind of house, it would have a unique flavor.

"After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, with the approval of the Song Dynasty, the slang bureaucrats from all over Lingnan successively belonged to the Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian then set up 23 counties in the South China Sea, Yi'an, Zhu'an and Jiaozhi in the local area. At the proposal of Song Que, he appointed the chief slang bureaucrats to manage the internal affairs of the nation. Therefore, the chiefs of Lingnan were grateful to Song Ku." Chen Changlin looked at his leader with a YD face. He expected that there was nothing good. He secretly despised him and continued to say.

"Yang Jian had no choice but to. If he had used a tough means, I'm afraid the slang bureaucrat would have reversed it long ago." Kou Zhong agreed, "No matter how powerful the swordsmanship of Song Que is and how powerful the influence of the Song family is, there are naturally conflicts of interests between the slang clans. What does the Song family rely on to maintain them?"

"In a sentence that Yi Shuai often says, everyone has a price. As long as there are interests that attract slang bureaucrats, it is enough to solve the problem." Chen Changlin said with a smile.

"When did you learn Yun Boy's trick? It was nonsense and came carefully!" Kou Zhong laughed and scolded.

"The two most powerful magic weapons of the Song family are to master the shipping industry in the south and the trade system that connects the whole country. Moreover, Song Que is a person who promises to make money. He buys and sells it clearly. He emphasizes fair trade. When a slang chieftain makes profits and gets rich, who is not the head of Song Que. Therefore, no matter how Zeng Jin's Lin Shihong or Shen Faxing's power expands, he never dares to arouse half the idea of the Lingnan Song family. Only business giants such as Yi Shuai should reach out to Lingnan. Chen Changlin's business ability to Yunyi is admired.

"Yun Shao's Huaxia Qianzhuang is powerful, and our Sanlong Qianzhuang is much worse than that." Kou Zhong said depressedly. After eliminating Xiao Liang, Yun Yi took Huaxia Qianzhuang as the pioneer and successfully entered Lingnan. After the Song Valve realized the threat of Huaxia Qianzhuang, Qianzhuang had penetrated into the hearts of the people in Lingnan and could not pull out the nail, otherwise it would inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the southern barbarians. Yunyi took the opportunity to contact Song Valve and reached an agreement with him to let him occupy 30% of the dry shares of Qianzhuang. Under the balance of the pros and cons, the conceited Song Que had to suffer a "dumb loss" and accepted Yun Yi's agreement.

"The Song family has been profiting from the continuous transportation and marketing of all kinds of taxis in the Lingnan slang area to all parts of the Central Plains, and then transporting back the materials needed locally. Some people think that Yi Shuai and Song Que may be the two richest people in the world, and this comment comes from this." Chen Changlin praised.

"What valuable taxis are there in Lingnan?" Kou Zhong had been depressed that Yun Yi had more money than him. Hearing this, his eyes immediately lit up and thought, "If I become the son-in-law of the Song family, plus Yang Gong's treasure house, won't I become the richest person in the world?"

"Like my hometown, Nanhai County, there are tortoiseshell, pearls, ivory and aloes, while the wrong pearl cliff is rich in spices, Jibei, five-color vines and various precious medicinal materials. The iron casting in Lingnan is also quite developed, which is a big business that makes money. Chen Changlin is an excellent trader in various places, such as several treasures.

"I finally found a reason why I had to go to Lingnan! In this way, I can go to Song Valve to see Yuzhi openly! Because we just need a reliable business partner like Song Que, I believe Yuzhi will not object!" Kou Zhong was overjoyed.

"..." Chen Changlin was completely speechless. He explained for a long time. It was just an excuse to lead Kou Zhong to pick up girls. He only said with infinite depression in his heart, "What did I do? I have such a commander."
