In Yue Liduo's courtyard, the masters of the Dunhuang County Duke's Mansion gathered here and came to congratulate Aunt Yue.
Although Aunt Yue is a Uighur, her status in the entire county government is only second to Li Wan.
Not to mention anything else, Aunt Yue's three years of sharing the joys and sorrows with the master in the Western Regions made her an unshakable position in the Duke's Mansion, not to mention that Aunt Yue's younger brother Nusreti was in charge of the Duke's Mansion's business in the northwest.
"Hahahaha, Yue Liduo, we finally have a child."
In the bedroom, Jia Hui, who was sitting on Aunt Yue's bed, held her hand tightly and patted it gently.
"master"
Aunt Yue was a little depressed due to severe morning sickness.
This is somewhat similar to Li Wan's original situation.
"The key to raising a baby is to have peace of mind. If you are missing anything, tell your wife. If you don't have it, go to Rong Mansion to find it. If you can't find it, go to Chen Si. You guys also know each other. I remember that he also likes the mutton you cooked."
Jia Hui babbled and wanted to give Yue Liduo a lot of instructions, but was stopped in time by Li Wan who had expected it and drove him out of the bed.
The next step is the secret words of the daughter's family.
When he walked to the door, Yuanyang looked at Yue Liduo's smooth belly with envy, and couldn't help but admire her.
"Don't worry, you will be next." Jia Hui smiled evilly and touched Yuanyang's head.
"What are you talking about!" Yuanyang was immediately stared at by several sisters who heard Jia Hui's words, and his face turned red. Then Jia Hui was kicked out of the room with her slap in shame.
. . . . . .
Three days later.
The troops of Yoda and Niu Zhao have entered Henan and are marching towards Shaolin.
Jia Hui also handed over the work at hand to his subordinates, and gathered three thousand of the governor's personal guards, the first cavalry in the world known as the Suzaku Cavalry, to march towards the Shaolin Temple.
He didn't bring much, just ten heavy cannons and a blunderbuss.
There are still four days until the martial arts conference is held.
There are more and more ghosts and snakes in official circles dressed as charlatans. The security situation in Kinki has declined rapidly these days. In many places, regular troops under the local garrison have begun to participate in suppressing charlatans.
On the official road leading to the Shaolin Temple, a group of more than 3,000 people leading horses walked in the middle of the road heading east.
The official road, where fights often occur these days, suddenly became quiet. The arrogant Jianghu Howlers, who would kill people with knives whenever they disagreed, became more well-behaved. In the past, they were running around like crabs in the middle of the road. They also hugged each other. They walked on both sides of the road with their weapons bowed and their eyebrows bent, for fear that the officers and soldiers who were more arrogant than them would kill them with a bullet.
After all, it’s not like this has never happened before
This morning, I was chatting and laughing with myself about which place had good girly skin. Who would have thought that after leaving the inn and walking two miles, I was shot into a hedgehog just because I stood in the middle of the road and didn't want to give way to the soldiers? .
"Huh? What are you looking at? Do you want to die?"
"What's wrong with you? I have eyes on me and I want to see..."
Snapped!
Boom.
There was a sound of gunfire from the front, frightening all the gangsters to lower their heads again.
There was another sound of digging on the ground ahead, and some charlatans braved it and looked forward.
"Hiss—isn't this Feiyu Sword Liu Daxia?"
"Huh? Are you a bitch who knows him?"
"No, I don't know him. I just saw him competing with others from a distance, and I was quite impressed."
"That means we know each other. Come on, come over and dig the soil for Master Jun!"
"ah?"
"Huh? You don't want to?"
"Yes, yes, please don't kill me!!"
A skinny monkey was captured by the officers and soldiers who were digging holes to bury people beside the official road. They gave him a shovel and let him start working.
The rest of the charlatans will have their heads buried in their crotches.
Dare to be angry but dare not speak!
"Drive, drive!"
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats from behind the team, and people in the rivers and lakes looked back one after another. The hundreds of officers and soldiers in charge of the rear frowned and looked over.
"Purple clothes and white trousers, what kind of sect is this?" Baihu asked his deputy.
"Purple clothes and white trousers. Ah, they are a sword sect from Mianchi."
"What background?"
"I have no background, and I was specifically marked by the commander to kill without mercy."
"Brothers, turn around and face back, prepare to defend against the enemy!"
Baihu immediately ordered to prepare for the fight. The well-trained Suzaku cavalry sergeants silently lined up in three rows and began to load the fire cannons.
"Senior brother, there are so many flags in front of them, are they the army, right?" The round-faced junior sister looked at the cavalry in front with some worry.
"Nonsense, run quickly, they are going to beat me"
Bang bang bang!
The fire flickered, a firecracker-like sound sounded, and then smoke filled the air
The Jianghu man walking behind the team felt regretful. Why should he go to the Shaolin Temple to join in the fun? Wouldn't it be better to just stay at home?
How come these sub-officers and soldiers started firing without even asking!
The smoke gradually dissipated, and more than twenty corpses that had been beaten into sieves were lying peacefully on the ground. Only a few horses that were about to die were panting heavily, getting weaker and weaker until there was no movement.
"Hey, boy!" The officer and soldier suddenly pointed at a bearded man on the side of the road with a riding whip.
"Ah? Master, your name is Xiao?" The bearded man reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth and pretended to be smiling. He nodded and stood there hunched over, waiting for Master's instructions.
If there weren't a dozen muskets pointed at him, he would have gone up and down to lick and clean the military master's boots.
All dirty!
"You're a very smart boy. Go and see if there's anyone left alive!" Baihu looked at the bearded man with an unruly look on his face, not realizing at all that this man might be more than ten years older than him.
"This" the bearded man hesitated a little. What if someone is still alive and there is some hidden weapon hidden under him to trick him to death?
"Huh? You don't want to go? Then let's set up a gun."
"No, no, no, military master, go ahead now. If you know anything, go and have a look." Seeing several military masters grinning ferociously and raising their blunderbuss towards him, the bearded man was so frightened that he rolled and crawled towards the two men. More than a dozen corpses ran away, making all the military officers wantonly laugh at them.
The big man carefully took out his nine-ring sword, cautiously walked to a corpse, stretched out two trembling fingers and gently picked up what seemed to be the leader's clothes, hesitating whether to turn it over for inspection.
Snapped!
"ah!"
The sudden shot that hit the belly of the horse corpse next to him made the big man scream, and his timid look made the military men laugh again.
"Are you embroidering? Come on!"
"Yes~"
The big man trembled and replied behind him. He closed his eyes and suddenly turned the body over.
"call"
The huge bullet hole on the forehead of the corpse immediately made the big man breathe a sigh of relief. This was a dead man.
Then he gritted his teeth and quickly checked the corpses around him. He found that there was nothing wrong with them, so he plucked up the courage to check them quickly.
There was another sound of horse hooves in front of the team, and the Jianghu people standing on the left side of the road saw it and moved out of the way.
"Hey, Lao Jiang, why are you stopping here!" The knight pulled the reins of his horse and stopped beside Baihu.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just encountered a sect that the commander named and asked to be killed without mercy. Why don't we let people check the bodies?" Jiang Baihu said to the knight beside him with an indifferent expression.
"Tch, Boring, hurry up and catch up!"
The knight sneered and turned his horse's head back to the front of the team.
"Hmph, you bitch from the Fengxian Team, bah!" Jiang Baihu spat at the knight who was going away, but the wind caught the face of a Jianghu man who was carrying a heavy sword. The disgusting heavy swordsman was clever and subconsciously He was about to curse at Jiang Baihu, but as soon as he saw the dozen military masters holding firecrackers and looking at him expectantly, the heavy swordsman swallowed back all the curse words.
Humph, a good man won't suffer the immediate consequences, right Jiang Baihu? Sooner or later, I, Li Shen, the heavy sword, will join the army one day and climb on top of your head to be your superior officer and spit on you every day!
snort!
. . . . . .
Shaoshi Mountain, Shaolin Temple.
The residents of Yamashita Town have long been accustomed to large numbers of Jianghu people gathering here, and they have also developed many ways to deal with them.
Well-connected townspeople took their little ones and ran out to live with their relatives, and then came back after the important matters in Shaolin Temple were finished.
Those with no means can only prepare supplies and quietly stay in the cellar dug at home, or run directly into the mountains and wait for the shameless Jianghu people who insist on staying overnight to finish their work and leave.
But not everyone has to hide from Jianghu people. For example, inns, pubs and restaurants are counting on this wave of profits.
After all, so many people can still stay in an inn, and those who can afford to eat and drink in pubs and restaurants are all respectable people. They will be paid for food and accommodation. After all, they have to estimate their reputation.
Shopkeeper Hu Lu, who runs the largest inn in the town, was entertaining celebrities who came to participate in the martial arts conference organized by the Shaolin Temple as usual. He was going to the kitchen to order food when he heard a burst of noise outside the inn.
Half an hour ago.
After marching for several days, Jia Hui's troops arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain and met the Xuanfu army brought by Niu Zhao at Xuanyuan Pass.
According to the report from the scouts sent by Yoda, it will take more than an hour for the Ningxia army to arrive at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.
Therefore, Jia Hui was not prepared to wait for the Ningxia army. He asked the scouts to return with the task of clearing the area around Shaoshi Mountain and besieging the mountain passes, and then ignored them.
After all, today is the day for their meeting, and all the prominent figures from all provinces are here.
We're going to break up the skin anyway, let's chop up all these big shots first and make their subordinates leaderless!
Six thousand troops passed Xuanyuan Pass and headed south!
. . . . . .
"Brother, I heard that there are thousands of officers and soldiers gathered at Xuanyuan Pass. They won't attack us, right?" On the avenue on the north side of the town, a group of small sect disciples and casual people living in tents were sitting in twos and threes. Chatting on the ground.
They are not qualified to go up the mountain yet.
There were too many famous sects and celebrities coming, and the Shaolin Temple’s space was limited, so some sects that really didn’t have much to offer were restricted from going up the mountain.
For example, these people are not considered to be popular in the world.
"So what? Do you think you can outrun a horse or withstand thousands of military masters taking turns to wait on you?" The eldest brother glanced at the little brother who was so gray-headed and face-faced that he couldn't even tell his appearance, and said nonchalantly while holding the dog's tail grass in his mouth.
This guy had no money and couldn't rent a tent. He saw that he was living alone in a tent and came here to try his luck and wanted to borrow it.
It was because of his kindness that he took him in.
By the way, he received more than ten coins as an offering and became his eldest brother.
At his age, people who have not yet become famous in the world of martial arts will be like this in this life.
There are so few examples of people like the old man from Sunjiabao in Ningxia who are approaching middle age, have mediocre qualifications and have little ability, but are appreciated and soar to the sky, so rare that even one example will be written about for decades.
So for the eldest brother, the current situation is to live one more day and earn one more day, and to live one less day and get through one less day.
There is no hope in life, so I just earn a little money, and then give all the money to my sweetheart in the brothel to have fun with her.
This is the only joy in living, and even in recent years he has been a little out of his depth.
It doesn't matter whether you live or not. If you die early and get reincarnated early, you can just farm in peace and contentment in your next life.
But you still have to have fun together. What if you miss some opportunities?
"But now everyone says that the imperial court wants to kill us all." The little brother muttered as if talking to himself.
"How is it possible? If we want to wipe out all the martial arts schools, we have to slaughter all the martial arts schools. Is this possible? Do we want the army to rebel or something?" A disciple from a small sect on the side shook his head.
After all, there are many people in the Daqi army who are martial arts disciples. The leader is the governor Yun Yu who is still confronting Taungu in the southwest. He was born in a martial arts academy and joined the army after completing his studies.
While everyone was chatting, the ground suddenly shook.
The people living in the tents stood up one after another, threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground obediently, holding their heads in their hands.
They saw a man who looked like a high official in straight body armor with fish scales, leading thousands of infantry troops and pulling several carriages to come to them.
After all, the Shaolin Temple is in the mountains, and the role of cavalry has been reduced to a minimum, even at a disadvantage. Therefore, except for officers with more than a hundred households who can ride horses, the Suzaku cavalry and the Xuanfu army all dismount and walk.
"Master Jun, ah no, Lieutenant, the martial arts competition will start in a quarter of an hour, and those thieves are also going up the mountain!"
The well-informed elder brother who was kneeling at the front was shocked when he saw clearly what was embroidered on the flag. He quickly shouted and walked a few feet on his knees to get to the foot of the Taiwei's horse. After telling the news about the town, he fell into submission. Lying on the ground.
Oh my god, all these military lords are wearing armor and carrying cannons!
I'm afraid the martial arts conference won't be able to go on today.
The elder brother couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
Hey hey hey, those glamorous big shots are done.
"Laughing at you is paralyzing, it's so ugly, shut up!"
The lieutenant on horseback frowned, and his ears were contaminated by this man's laughter!
The eldest brother quickly closed his lips and held his breath.
The Taiwei looked around, but no one dared to look at him, even if he was leading an army of six thousand people.
You can tell from their appearance that these people kneeling on the ground are definitely at the bottom of the world, the kind who are struggling to survive.
For example, the boy not far away was so black that he couldn't even look human.
The Taiwei shook his head, his illusions about Jianghu people completely shattered.
"Reward him. After these people identify the sect, kill those who deserve to be killed, arrest those who deserve to be arrested, and release those who deserve to be released. The rest of them will follow me into the town!"
After saying that, the Taiwei lightly kicked the horse's belly and led the armored elites towards the town.
