A few days later, the sky was cloudless. Outside the Zhixian city gate, Magistrate Meng led the people to stand on both sides of the city gate. Prince Sheng, the Marquis of Anle, stood at the front of the intersection, ceremoniously dressed, to welcome the emperor's arrival.
With just a cup of tea, on the distant horizon, people and horses neighed, and a heavy armored knight gradually emerged like a black cloud. Black military flags with countless banners fluttering appeared on the horizon. It was really like a black cloud over the city, although it was just The emperor's chariot also makes the viewer feel a mountain of pressure rushing towards them.
After burning incense, the emperor's imperial chariot was finally approaching the county seat of Zhixian. The eastern patrol team consisted of hundreds of thousands of troops. The troops and horses were neighing in full swing. The endless emperor's eastern patrol team finally arrived at Zhixian County.
At this time, the emperor's soldiers who were running at the front, the silver-armored guards, dismounted their horses and opened the way to the Zhixian city gate, quickly standing on both sides to protect the emperor's chariot.
Then the tiger, lion, and leopard knights guarded the two sides with majesty like dark clouds, until the emperor's chariot appeared in front of everyone.
Mu Shengguanzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This ostentation was really unbelievable. At this moment, even if he was allowed to sit in the emperor's chariot and be the driver of the horse, it would be worth it. He did not dare to have the slightest disrespectful thought that he could take his place. …
This was the first time he had witnessed the emperor's exaggerated travel arrangements since he traveled across time.
At this time, Lang Wei shouted in unison: "Kneel down to welcome the Holy Master!"
The first ones at the gate of Zhixian City were Anle Hou Gongzi Sheng and the county magistrate Meng Shi. When they heard the words, they immediately knelt on the ground. The people behind them also knelt on the ground, shouting "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
After the emperor's chariot and the guards passed the city gate, Lang Wei shouted in unison: "Get up!"
The people of Zhixian County had just risen up one by one, and the intimidating power of the emperor's authority was fully exerted.
The emperor's chariot and the guards were like a long dragon. It took at least a quarter of an hour to pass through the city gate. Young Master Sheng knelt for a long time and his legs were numb. Then Lang Wei also followed the emperor's chariot into the city. It was impossible for the hundreds of thousands of troops accompanying the emperor to enter the city. , we can only set up camp outside the city...
At this time, the county magistrate Meng Shi stood up and looked a little excited, and said to himself: "It has been almost ten years since your Majesty took refuge in the Tai Chi Palace to cultivate immortality, and he finally visited the world again..."
Mu Sheng heard this and said: "Yes! Magistrate Meng, why don't we go to the city quickly and wait for His Majesty's summons?"
Meng Shi smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Thanks to you, Anlehou, you and I will go together..."
Gongzi Sheng naturally knew why he was so excited. The supreme leader came to inspect the place, and he had an opportunity to perform. It was possible to move up the ranks.
Although this magistrate of Meng County had no contact with Mu Sheng on weekdays, his administrative ability was still good, and Zhi County was also managed in an orderly manner under his rule.
The two of them walked to the city, and a knight named Langwei came to Anlehou and Magistrate Meng and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has spoken and summoned Anlehou and Magistrate Meng to wait in front of you."
Mu Sheng glanced at Meng Shi next to him and saw a happy face. Later, the two of them went to the emperor's palace to pay homage. The emperor first summoned the county magistrate Meng Shi. After a cup of tea, he met Meng Shi. With a cheerful face, he greeted Mu Sheng politely and then went out. It seemed that Meng Shi had left a good impression on the emperor.
Mu Sheng also had time to enter the hall of Anlehou Mansion, and saw the emperor living in the hall, with accompanying guards and officials standing on both sides.
Mu Sheng bowed his head and bowed: "My son, I bow to Your Majesty, long live, long live."
The emperor said pleasantly: "Okay! Sheng'er, come here. I haven't seen you in recent days. I miss you very much."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng stepped forward and waited beside the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have not been in front of the emperor these years to pay filial piety, and I miss you very much. Why don't you stay with me for a few more days? I want to serve you well."
The emperor smiled and said: "Okay! Since Sheng'er is so filial, I will stay a few more days."
Mu Sheng was flattered and said: "Your Majesty is so graceful."
At this time, Mu Sheng's heart moved and he asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that the purpose of Your Majesty's eastward tour is to prepare to send troops south?"
The emperor's eyes flashed and he said: "Well, the purpose of my eastward tour is to frighten the homeland of the seven kingdoms in Guandong. After the eastward tour is over, I will go south to inspect the four Lingnan counties to prepare for the use of troops against Taisha and help the leader of the Sanmu tribe recover. country."
Mu Sheng asked tentatively: "So, if your Majesty sends troops from Lingnan to attack Taisha, then he must use Daoshanpuppet to attack Taisha in the south?"
The emperor said domineeringly: "Our Jin army is invincible in the world, why do we need to borrow Tao Shanpu? This time I will destroy the Shanpu who once captured Sheng'er, destroy its country, plunder its people, expand the territory thousands of miles away, and set up counties and counties to belong to our dynasty. Under the rule, kill that bullshit Immortal Emperor as well, even a small enemy chief dares to overstep his bounds and claim the title of emperor, huh!"
When Mu Sheng heard this, he complained in his heart: "Mom bought the batch, I knew it was for my base area, to push the high ground and explode the crystals."
Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and spoke: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty. I admire you greatly. I also feel that as soon as the heavenly soldiers of our kingdom arrive, we can defeat the barbarians as easily as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves."
At this point, Mu Sheng changed his tone and said: "However, the war is fierce and dangerous. Although Shanpup is just a small country, it still has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. Moreover, the old thief Emperor Changsheng is also good at battle formations. I don’t know how many loyal souls of our army will be buried in a foreign country, not to mention that there are many mountains and forests in southern Xinjiang, humid and hot water, and crisscrossed rivers. Our army is good at fighting in the north. Our army is not good at using troops in southern Xinjiang. This time, our army Although we are strong, we must take a long-term approach, but I do have a plan that will allow Your Majesty to take down the mountain puppets without losing any blood. This will ensure that our food routes in the rear are safe and I can concentrate on attacking Taisha."
The emperor was a little surprised and said: "Oh? I really want to hear Sheng'er's speech."
Mu Sheng calmly said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the first step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the city, and the third step is to attack the city. Since our army is heading towards Taisha, why not focus on targeting it?" When the Taisha Dynasty used troops, the Shanpu clan felt that there was no need to push them to their death. It would only make them fight to the death. As a result, our army injured one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses to ourselves. It was not easy to capture the Shanpu clan. , and it also deviates from the overall strategic direction of our military."
"When our army really takes down Shanpu, one of the three strongest Yi tribes in the southwest, will the Xi tribe and Taisha tribe die in grief because of this? What if the two of them unite to deal with our country? Isn't our country not the same? Are you becoming more passive? It’s okay if everything goes smoothly during this war, but if the war drags on for a long time, there will be no hope of Laima’s recovery. I’m afraid this is not the result you want to see, Father.”
"We are only going to help the patriarch to restore his country. We have no intention of destroying Taisha. The best strategy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting. My son thought, why not drive the tiger to devour the wolf, sign an alliance with the mountain puppets, and unite together? In the crusade against Taisha, they are also feuding for a hundred years, and the enemy of our enemy is our friend. If our army has hundreds of thousands of elite troops to help us, there is no need to mobilize a large number of troops, which will consume too much of the people's power and the country's power. Please give your Majesty's sanction."
The emperor seemed to be impressed by Young Master Sheng, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: "Yes! What Sheng'er said makes sense, but Shan Puppet and our army have been fighting off and on for many years. It will not be easy to make peace rashly!" "
When Mu Sheng heard that he had a way, he quickly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Ying to be the envoy to go to the mountain to meet Emperor Changsheng. If he is moved by his affection and knows the interests, he will definitely choose to jointly attack with our army." "Fa Taisha, I have been a hostage in Shanpuyu City for nearly two years, so I know the character of this old thief quite well."
The emperor gave Young Master Sheng a strange look and asked, "You won't really recognize this enemy chief as your adoptive father, will you? Otherwise, will he obey your words?"
Mu Sheng's heart moved, and he simply admitted it, saying in an awkward tone: "Your Majesty, at that time I had to take this strategy in order to survive. I was guilty, but this time, thanks to this relationship, I felt that at least I had We are more than 70% sure to convince Emperor Changsheng to side with us."
The emperor smiled and said: "Okay! It's okay. I am a man who can bend and stretch, so just accept him as your adoptive father! If you can convince this so-called Immortal Emperor to send troops to join forces with me, the Jin Dynasty, you, the Marquis of Anle, I will allow you to be hereditary. , passed down to future generations."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he kowtowed with joy and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The emperor said: "In this way, I will prepare to start my eastward tour again the day after tomorrow. You will accompany me on my eastward tour and then go south to the four Lingnan counties to discuss state affairs."
Mu Sheng was overjoyed and nodded in agreement, saying in his heart: "It seems that there is a way to keep the mountain puppet on our own land. Anyway, I have the final say on the mountain puppet. I am not 100% sure that I will go on a mission to the mountain puppet." Success rate? This means I thought the enemy was inside, but I didn’t expect the enemy was actually at the headquarters, hahahaha..."
During the past few days when the emperor was in Zhixian County, Mu Sheng had been driving beside him, serving him carefully, as if he were a loving father and a filial son.
A few days later, the eunuch came to inform Mr. Sheng that the emperor was going to tour the east again. After hearing this, Mu Sheng went to the palace to accompany him.
On the day of the trip, Young Master Sheng and Muyinaqi came to see the emperor in front of His Majesty. After three bows and nine kowtows, the emperor was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Muyinaqi. Such exotic and stunning beauties are indeed rare.
The emperor smiled and said: "I finally understand why your clever talker insists on keeping the mountain puppet. You really don't recognize me as a foster father in vain. Well, since Muyinaqi is the goddaughter of the Changsheng Emperor, he has committed himself to do this. Your concubine is indeed a little aggrieved. To show my sincerity in uniting with the Shanpup clan, I canonize Mu Yi Na Qi as your common wife, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng quickly took Muina's hand and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Muyinaqi also kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your grace!"
Before leaving, Young Master Sheng said goodbye to all the wives and concubines in the mansion, and the two of them followed the emperor's eastward inspection team on the road. Mu Sheng and Muyinaqi also specially arranged a gorgeous carriage to follow the emperor's eastward inspection team all the way to Lingnan. Four counties.
After Mu Sheng got into the carriage, he took a quick glance. The interior of the carriage was very spacious, and it had all the necessary food and clothing. It felt like an RV, and the ride was much smoother than an ordinary carriage.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and opened the curtains, and saw that the people outside the Zhixian city were kneeling to greet him. Naturally, the county magistrate Meng Shi was also among them. As the carriage and horses swayed slightly, the emperor's guard also gradually moved away, leaving the Zhixian city. The head of the land.
Mu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Muyi Naqi, and said with a smile: "Sister Naqi, are you happy to be home?"
Muyinaqi looked back at him and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I might as well go back and take a look! Right? Will my husband be prepared to lead the troops personally this time when I go back?"
Mu Sheng heard this and said: "Well, I will definitely have to lead the troops personally for such a big event, but I have no experience in commanding large corps in combat. I should leave it to the generals of the Bor family to take command! I can just sit here and watch. !”
Muyinaqi said: "Yes! This is safer."
The sky was getting dark along the way and the carriage was swaying. Mu Sheng glanced at Muyinaqi who was sitting in a daze at the window and laughed strangely. He came to her side and said, "Sister Naqi, do you want to..."
Muyinaqi quickly pushed away Mu Sheng's protruding mouth and said, "Oh! You old pervert, I'm really impressed by you. You don't even know what the occasion is. Be careful not to let the guards outside the car hear you." .”
Mu Sheng waved his hand and formed a barrier to cover the entire carriage and said with a smile: "This time even if a nuclear bomb explodes inside, no one can hear it..."
After saying that, Mu Sheng couldn't help but pounce on Muyinaqi and kissed her lips...
