Chapter 1973:

It can be said that with Zhou Ye's help, the Song clan took at least three years to unify China.

After the Song clan took over the eastern states and counties, only Longyoudao and other places in the whole of China were left unrecovered.

In this case, Zhou Ye took Li Xiuning personally and went to Taiyuan to persuade the Li clan to surrender...

Under Zhou Ye's coercion, Li Yuan had to raise his hand to surrender... So far, the whole of China has temporarily returned to unity.

In December of the same year, Song Que ascended the altar to make sacrifices to the sky and became emperor. Country name Tang.

At the same time, Zhou Ye was named King of Ying, and his fiefs were Yingzhou and the Ryukyu Islands.

As for Zhou Ye's women, all of them were named first-rank titles... Although there were a few more, they were nothing more than empty heads.

At this point, the world has returned to unity, and the people have once again enjoyed peace and prosperity.

It's just that although the world is unified, the outside is not peaceful. The East and West Turks united with 180,000 iron cavalry to attack the Tang Dynasty. They were directly killed by 20,000 soldiers on the Weishui River. The Weishui River was red that year... It was dyed red by the blood of the Turks.

Coming and not going indecently, Song Que directly ordered 20,000 soldiers to enter the Turkic land, completely destroying the Eastern and Western Turks. Tens of thousands survived. In order to escape, they had to cross the Ob River and head towards Europe...

These are all things that happened later, Zhou Ye didn't bother to pay attention to so much... At this moment, he was looking at the little loli brought by Wei Wei with a stunned expression on his face.

"You said this is your apprentice??"

"Yeah, Ming Kong... I haven't seen my master soon!" She smiled and pulled the girl beside her.

"Ming Kong has seen Shi Gong, Shi Gong, you are so beautiful!" Ming Kong's little loli looked at Zhou Ye with admiration on her face...

"Why do you want to be called Mingkong?" Zhou Ye had a strange look on his face, "Isn't it good to be called Zhao?"

"Yes, yes, Master, people also think that the name Master gave them is not good!" Mingkong Xiaoluoli clapped her hands happily when she heard Zhou Ye's words.

"Then what was your original name?"

"I'm still young, I don't have a big name, and my family calls me Mei Niang!"

Mingkong's little loli didn't recognize her life at all, and she soon had a chat with Zhou Ye... And she didn't interrupt her. Looking at the way her apprentice was talking to her husband, she thought of when she was a child. She looked like this back then... I really miss her.

"What's your last name?"

"My surname is Wu..."

Chapter 2357

Izu Oshima is located at the southern end of the Tokyo metropolitan area and belongs to the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Although it belongs to the capital of Neon, Izu Oshima is more like a poor relative of a rich family than Tokyo, a big city of its first size.

Poverty and backwardness are the themes here.

This is something that can’t be helped. After all, Izu has been an island where nobles have been exiled since ancient times.

The entire Izu Oshima is less than 100 square kilometers, and the population on the island is less than 5,000...

Although it seems that such a population corresponds to such a large amount of land, it should never be full of food, but in fact, nearly half of the land here is forest, and the remaining two-quarters are saline-alkali reefs near the sea. ... The real arable land is less than a quarter of the total area of the island.

This has also led to many residents who have lost their land on the island of Izu, who will leave the island and go to other places to make a living by performing arts.

And Xun, was born in such a family...

There is an elder sister Chiyoko in Xun's house... Their father died last year because of a sudden illness and died on the way to performing arts. Xun, along with the elder sister and mother, returned to Izu with his father's remains... Recently, she always listened to her mother Said, to recruit a son-in-law who came to the door, otherwise... With only their mother and daughter, it is impossible to go out to perform.

After all, the status of wandering artists is pitifully low... If there is no man to take care of them, they will definitely be bullied by local bullies.

However, there are very few people who are willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law, not to mention... Or to be a door-to-door son-in-law to a wandering entertainer?

Xun always felt that his mother was daydreaming...

Of course, she didn't dare to say such a thing. If she said it, she would be beaten by her mother.

It's already April. If her father was still there in previous years, the Xun family would have already embarked on the road of wandering performing arts, but... because there is no man this year, so far her mother has no idea of going on the road.

And Xun felt that such a day was not bad. After all, compared to those unfamiliar places, Xun preferred this slightly shabby, but warm home.

At this time, Xun is in the backyard of his home, carefully catching insects for the vegetable field...

You know, now that there is no income, their family is living on the old money.

In the small backyard at home, grow some vegetables to supplement the household more or less.

Just as she carefully used two wooden sticks to pluck a cabbage worm from the leaves of the eggplant stand... and put it in a small clay pot, there was a shout from outside the yard.

"Smoke... smoke..."

"I'm here!" The familiar voice instantly made Xun hear her voice. "A-jun!"

"Ah, I found it!"

As the voice came, a little loli who looked about the same age as Xun ran over...

I saw that this little loli was as old as Xun, and also looked like eleven or twelve years old. She was wearing a short kimono that was washed and somewhat whitish, with clogs under her feet, and her little face with baby fat was full of Excited look.

She quickly ran to Xun's face, grabbed Xun's little hand indiscriminately, and ran out.

For a time, Xun was a little stunned by his little friend... "A-jun... what happened!"

"I don't know what happened... But today, the village heads of several villages on the island went to the port, as if they were going to welcome some big man..." Ajun said, pulling his little friend towards the He ran to the pier not far from the entrance of the village... "I guess there must be a big man on the island... I don't know if he is wearing the village chief's favorite suit..."

While fantasizing about the clothes of the big man, A-jun pulled Xun and ran to the outside.

Xun was speechless when he heard Ajun's words.

She knew that her little friend had longed for a life outside the island since she was a child... and even made a vow to go out to work on the island when she was fourteen.

And her favorite thing is to run over to find Xun and listen to what she has seen outside.

This also made the two of them good friends.

No way, everyone in the village knew that Xun's family lived as a wandering artist.

For their whole family, there is a polite sense of alienation.

Use some very excessive actions of this era to describe the status of wandering artists, and everyone will know.

In Neon, although it is already 1912, at the intersections of various villages, you will often see a sign like this - [Beggars and stray entertainers are not allowed to enter]

This fully illustrates the status of wandering entertainers. In today's society, wandering entertainers and beggars are equated.
