Seeing Mo Zhibi again, Wu Gen suddenly felt inexplicably at ease. Those eyes that bloomed at the beginning of the year are still clear, as clean as the evening breeze on a summer night, so clean that it makes people feel ashamed.
The tall eyes stood on the shore, like a docile dog. He leaned down gently and let Mo Zhibi slowly climb down along his body.
"Fortress leader." Mo Zhibi bowed politely. Just when he was about to say something, he heard a plop, and Gao Han fell to the ground unconscious behind Wu Gen.
Gao Han was still young, and when he suddenly saw his eyes, his mind couldn't bear the pressure, and he fainted on the spot.
Mo Zhibi sighed softly, turned around and walked to Muji, leaned his forehead against him, and murmured. As the murmurs sounded, Mu Ji's body moved slightly, as if he understood Mo Zhibi's words.
After taking two steps back, Mo Zhibi looked at Mongji with warm eyes, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
A strange scene appeared in front of Wu Gen. The tall Mu Ji's body began to roll up, like a piece of dough being pulled and stretched. In the end, the body split into hundreds of white pigeons with sharp beaks, and each pigeon had a scar on its forehead. One vertical eye.
White pigeons gather densely by the pool, like a white cloud, quietly combing their feathers.
Looking at the docile white dove, Wu Gen looked at Mo Zhibi with more and more eager eyes. After rescuing Gao Han and sending him back to the house to rest, Wu Gen and Mo Zhibi sat opposite each other in the courtyard. The shadows of the locust tree swayed on the two of them, and clouds of pigeons stood on the trees, making the courtyard look a bit strange. Weird.
"A Bi, I feel quite comfortable living in the mountains." Wu Gen tried his best to appear kind, facing Mo Zhibi
For such a pure person, he always feels inferior.
"Very good, it's very clean here." Mo Zhibi held hot tea in both hands and looked at Wu Gen up and down with his obsidian eyes.
Wu Gen felt uncomfortable looking at him, as if he had been stripped naked and exposed to others. He looked at the white dove standing above Mo Zhibi in embarrassment, "Ahem, this eye is very obedient. He can actually Turn into a dove, haha.”
"The eye is originally a piece of rough jade. If it is carved into an eagle, it is an eagle; if it is carved into a dove, it is a dove." Mo Zhibi smiled slightly, picked off the white dove, put it in his hand and caressed it, with gentleness in his eyes, " It can serve as my eyes, and what it sees, I can also see. At this time, there is a group of people outside the city coming towards this direction."
Wu Gen was stunned for a moment, and looked up at a black spot hanging over Xianwan City. It was a dove with its eyes transformed into a bird's eye.
Suddenly his heart moved, and Wu Gen asked urgently, "If I want it to find something, I mean, this thing may not be a substance, but an existence like a soul, but it can also be looked at."
Mo Zhibi caressed the white pigeon gently, as if communicating with it. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Yes."
Wu Gen took a deep breath and stretched out his left hand to try to touch the white dove. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached his hand out, the white dove raised its feathers and stared fiercely at the black ring in Wu Gen's palm. The former was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand. .
"Master, you are becoming more and more black, and a lot of dirt has accumulated in your heart." Mo Zhibi tilted his head and looked Wu Gen up and down, his eyes full of pity, like a soft glow, spreading over Wu Gen. In Gen's mind, "Let me sing a song for you. It would be good to have a good sleep."
"Okay, please."
Wu Gen's face became bright.
"The coolness and coolness go into the sea, and the sun comes over the mountains. Thunder is also strange, and fire is also strange. Spring branches can be seen in the thunder and fire. Big fish tremble, playing in the North Sea. Beihai and Nanshan, feeding the family donkey..." A rhymeless nursery rhyme It sounded and repeated over and over again in the small courtyard.
The clear voice blew through Wu Gen's heart, blowing away the haze in his heart. It was as if the whole world had become soft, leaving only silence.
Wu Gen found that the dead energy had calmed down, freshness and comfort filled his mind, and the dust accumulated since entering the Iron Hand Province gradually disappeared.
The gentle breeze blows, the shadows of the trees dance, and the overlapping light and shadow intersect on Wu Gen's body. The pool water was slightly rippled, and Wu Gen's eyelids were pressed against the sound of clear singing.
Wu Gen lay on the chair, his body slowly tilted, his face was peaceful, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Mo Zhi
Bi Qing stood up quietly and looked at Wu Gen silently, with a focused expression.
A leaf from the locust tree fell from the air and landed on Wu Gen's forehead. A wisp of black death energy emerged from Wu Gen's body, wrapping around the leaves like a poisonous snake. The leaves gradually turned yellow and turned into dust. In the end, only the lonely leaf veins and petioles remained, just like the leaves after death. Skeleton.
The dead air is still seeping out, the color of the petiole has become withered and black, and the sight will turn into dust. Mo Zhibi stared at the petiole, beads of sweat dripping from the tip of his nose.
Suddenly, an almost imperceptible green sprouted from the black, just like a bud tremblingly peeking out from the ashes of a wildfire.
Seeing this touch of green, Mo Zhibi finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed happily.
The one eye of the white dove also began to move rapidly, seeming to be very happy.
Dong-dong-dong, I don’t know how long it had passed, but there was a gentle knock on the door.
Wu Gen woke up from a deep sleep, and the lifeless energy on his body disappeared immediately. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his body felt extremely comfortable as if he had been reborn. Ever since he entered the Iron Hand Province, he has been bumping into each other until now. Although Wu Gen is calm on the surface, in reality, anxiety has been gnawing at his heart like a poisonous snake.
The success or failure of the war, the safety of his brothers, and how many people's lives are in his hands, how can he not be worried, how can he not be worried.
"Master, if you want to let Muji look for something, you might as well get closer to it. It seems to like you quite a lot." Seeing Wu Gen wake up, Mo Zhibi made a move with his hand, and the hundreds of white pigeons gathered together again. , transformed into Meji's original appearance. Climbing up to Muji's body, Mo Zhibi patted him gently.
"It's so close..." Wu Gen looked at Mu Ji walking outside the hospital, thoughtfully.
"Come in." There was a knock on the door again, and Wu Gen could only respond.
The courtyard door was opened, and Ye Ziming walked in, "Master, Ji Nan is here to visit and wants to see you." The army was fighting outside, and the people in Xianwan City were stretched thin. Ye Ziming was so busy these days that he couldn't even put his feet on the ground.
"Oh, we're finally here, see you there." Wu Gen was not surprised by Ji Nan's arrival. He had been waiting for someone from Hanlu City these days, and today he finally arrived.
"Are we meeting at the Governor's Mansion or..." Ye Ziming asked tentatively.
"Ji Nan is an old man too, so let's stay here." Wu Gen thought for a while and decided to summon him in his private home. Ji Nan's arrival must represent Hanlu City. Some
It's not easy to talk about things openly.
"The person who came here is not a good person. Ji Nan is here to help the Wuwei army to cover the mountain. Do you want me to find out what he says first?" Ye Ziming was afraid that Wu Gen would come forward and talk to death. After all, Wuwei The army also wants tax support from the three counties of Ji State.
"Don't worry, I won't chop him." Wu Gen waved his hand casually, lay down on the chair again, and rubbed his eyebrows. It's all Ye Ziming's fault for ruining his rare good sleep.
Ye Ziming's face trembled and he had to turn around to invite Ji Nan. After a while, the courtyard door opened, and Ji Nan followed Ye Ziming in.
"I've met Governor Wu." As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, Ji Nan quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"County Governor Ji, what brought you here? Since the founding of Ji State, you have looked down on me, a country bumpkin, and haven't visited you for a long time." Wu Gen stood up, grabbed Ji Nan's arms with both hands, and lifted him up. , His strength was so great that he almost lifted him up.
Wu Gen has known Ji Nan for a long time. Wu Gen didn't have a very good impression of him at the beginning. He was snobbish and looked down on the human race. However, after getting along with him for a long time, he found that this person still has many advantages, that is, he repays his kindness. He was Ji Chen's secret son, but he received a lot of favors from Ji Ye, and finally asked Wu Gen to save Ji Ye.
"Captain, Liangzhe Mountain is not easy to enter. Along the way, I went through nine checkpoints before I could get here. Every time I come here, there are many changes in Liangzhe Mountain. I didn't expect it to be so barren. The land was actually built into a huge fortress by the governor." Ji Nan had a bitter look on his face. He was not complimenting him, but he was sincere.
In Liangzhe Mountain, you can see the prosperity rising day by day.
, especially when walking from the outside of the mountain to Xiangwan Ridge, all dangerous passes are heavily guarded. According to his estimate, there are not half a million people
Horses can't level Liang Zheshan, and this is without fearless army expansion.
"I'm timid. I'm afraid of being remembered. What will happen if I don't cultivate stronger." Wu Gen put Ji Nan down and motioned for the other person to sit down.
At this time, Gao Han had woken up. When he saw a guest coming, he quickly served tea.
"Did Governor Ji come here under the orders of Ji Ye or Murong Yuqiang?" Wu Gen stared at him teasingly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Seeing Wu Gen's strange expression, Ji Nan's face looked a little unnatural. She looked around and cupped her hands and said, "Captain, can we talk alone."
Hearing this, Ye Ziming quickly stood up and left, gently closing the courtyard door, and Gao Han also returned to the house.
"Say it." Wu Gen's face became serious and he stared at the other person with slightly narrowed eyes.
Sensing Wu Gen's malice, Ji Nan felt uncomfortable all over. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "It's the Queen."
Wu Gen was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and finally lay down softly on the chair and sighed, "Why bother, why bother. The two Murong sisters are so keen on this."
"Captain, this kind of thing is inevitable. This is how royal matters are. But the emperor has always trusted the governor and never asked about the affairs in Liangzhe Mountain." Ji Nan explained quickly, fearing that Wu Gen would betray him in anger. Ji Guo was just established and could not withstand such a torment.
"Tell me what you want to ask." Wu Gen had no expression on his face and stared blankly at the locust tree outside the courtyard.
"The Queen would like to ask, this time the Fearless Army used troops against Bailing Province, the royal family did not issue an order, but it is the governor's intention. If it attracts
How should the governor respond to the provincial war? "Ji Nan cleared her throat and asked softly.
"What kind of explanation does she want? Isn't it just to play with her authority?" Wu Gen sneered, accusing himself of ignoring the imperial court and using weapons without authorization. However, Wu Gen had already discussed this situation with Yang Zheng. For Ji Guo, the fearless army's dispatch of troops is indeed unjustifiable in terms of etiquette and law, and can only be ignored.
"Please also ask Governor Ji to tell the Queen that the Bailing Province has invaded our frontier, and the fearless military is not strong enough to fight back to protect Ji's country." Wu Gen looked at Ji Nan with a smile, not taking Murong Yuqiang seriously at all.
"Your Majesty also asked me when to withdraw my troops. Ji Guo has interfered too much in the affairs of other provinces, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Ji Nan continued to ask.
"Once the army fights together, how can it be so easy to retreat? After the battle, they will return to the mountain." Wu Gen said impatiently.
"The Queen also said that if the Commander-in-Chief cannot withdraw his troops, it would be better to inform him in advance of important national events in the future."
"I will inform Ji Ye myself."
"Captain, I have asked you all the questions your Majesty asked me to ask." Ji Nan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously: "Captain, I am not speaking for the Queen. In the future, it is better to say something about sending troops like this. So that the court can be prepared."
"Alas, others don't know, don't you know? I, Wu Gen, have no dissatisfaction with Ji Ye. Ji's country has just been established, which is very different in Kuntianzhou. I think there will be many people watching. I will send troops to fight and defeat Ji Ye. The prestige of the country can make some people stop thinking, so as not to keep secretly plotting, so that Ji Guo can ease this period of time." Wu Gen lay listlessly on the chair, with a look on his face.
Some fatigue.
"I will report the Governor's painstaking efforts to the Emperor, but it's not easy to deal with the Queen." Ji Nan shook his head repeatedly.
"Well, you are Ji Ye's close minister and you have to help him. You can't let Murong Yuqiang do anything. Let's do this. I'll ask Yang Zheng to help you manage some power in the court to prevent the government from falling into the hands of the Murong family." Wu Wataru's tone was stern.
Ji Nan's expression turned serious, and she cupped her hands and said, "Thank you very much, Governor, for your help. With you here, the Emperor can sit peacefully in Hanlu City."
"You're welcome. Please bring a letter with you when you go back. I need help from Ji Ye if I need anything."
