"Xu."
Chang Wei gave a deep drink and stopped the carriage. Not long after, Tsuneshiro stepped out of the carriage while tying his robe.
Xu Mule stopped the reins and looked a little nervous. For example, if two people, Yuan Tao and Chang Silang, fall in love and kill each other, they may cause some trouble.
It turns out that he thought too much.
In the dim light of night, Chang Silang stopped and stood firmly in front of Yuan Tao.
"Have you eaten."
"Eat. What about you?" Yuan Tao replied with a smile.
"Eat when you get back."
Chang Wei and Gu Ying were also staring at each other. If their master hadn't allowed it, they might have had a fight.
"If you catch the wind and cold, go back and rest early." Changshiro tied his robe, walked a few more steps, and then turned back hesitantly.
"The Daji is still there, I won't die." Yuan Tao still smiled.
This sentence was a bit ambiguous. Chang Shiro stood there for a long time before silently nodding.
"Little boss, remember this."
Yuan Tao got on the carriage and did not enter the carriage. Instead, he sat quietly next to Gu Ying, letting the night wind lift up every strand of his hair.
Even though his face was pale, he still showed an encouraging smile to Xu Mu.
Xu Muping raised his hands, rode on the horse, and bowed long.
"He is a good man, but it is a pity that he was born in a bad dynasty." Changshiro turned around, took out a small delicate porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and threw it into the leaving carriage.
As if he had expected it, Yuan Tao, who was sitting in the carriage, took a few steps out of the carriage, reached out to catch the porcelain bottle, and quickly returned to sit in the carriage.
"Master Chang...why don't you give it to me face to face?"
"He wouldn't ask for it in person. Only when we are far away and can't see each other's expressions clearly can we become like old friends."
Xu Mu was speechless in his heart, guessing that only when the world was at peace could the two of them sit together and have wine and tea.
"What did he give you?" Changshiro felt a little bored and simply sat down on the grass, picked off a piece of thatch, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.
"Notarization of thousands of private soldiers." Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Xu Mu simply confessed.
"Very nice stuff. I also said I would give you something."
"Master Chang, there is no need for this. I went to the border this time just to follow the wishes of the Marquis and see if I can kill a few more Di dogs."
The implication is that on the surface, Tsuneshiro is just a rice merchant and seems to be out of reach.
"Listen to me." After spitting out the thatch, Chang Shiro raised his eyes and looked at the mud marks made by the wheels of the cart.
"If Daji is a sick dog, the foreign race is a ferocious wolf. But from any aspect, I don't want the foreign race to take over the Central Plains."
"Maybe the meeting will be peaceful." Xu Mu hesitated before speaking.
"You're stupid! Even if we negotiate for peace, in three or two years the ferocious wolf will get stronger and the sick dog will get weaker. There is no hope."
"I told you before, this rotten tree root has only a few years to run. Little Taotao wants to save the country, how can he save it? Of course, there is a way, unless he changes the dynasty and becomes the emperor himself, and then the whole country can be saved. Wash the country, the country, the country, and the country."
"However, with his temper, there is no need to think about it. Even if he kneels to death in front of the Golden Palace, he will not even look at the dragon throne."
"Loyal ministers in troubled times... always end badly."
Changshiro sighed, and his eyes became slightly weary for a moment.
"Go ahead. How you choose to go is a matter for the future. Whether you want to be black or white, I don't bother to stop you. This time, Bento returns the favor to me."
Chang Shiro rubbed his chest and said, "Take people to the vicinity of Laoguan, which is thousands of miles away. When you see a plum forest, you will go a few miles away. There, I will leave eighty knights for you to follow you to the border pass. From now on How you arrange it is your business."
Xu Mu raised his head in confusion and looked at Chang Silang, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Don't guess, you can't figure it out. If you die at the border, your Zhuangzi, I will watch over it for you."
Xu Mu nodded silently. Weiwei figured it out, it would be strange if there was no background behind Xia'er's rebellion to kill the dynasty.
Chang Shiro put his hands on his hips, spat, and then got on the carriage without even saying goodbye. He asked Chang Wei to turn the car around and left the official road.
"Brother Mu, why do everyone look like they are haunted?"
Not only Si Hu, but also Xu Mu was speechless at this time.
"Go back to the village."
"Brother Mu, are we going to the border to fight Di Gou?"
"yes."
"I will kill ten centurions! Thousands of centurions!"
"And Duhou." Xu Mu added with a deep tone.
"Brother Mu, who is Duhou?"
"General Di Ren."
"Ha, then I'll kill a few more!"
"Okay, when the time comes, I will sweep the formation for you!"
Two figures on horseback rushed towards Horseshoe Lake on the dusty path.
…
By the time we returned to Horseshoe Lake, the sky had completely darkened. But knowing that Xu Mu didn't reply, Jiang Caiwei specially ordered someone to light up an extra row of torches.
"My boss is back!"
Lu Lao, who was on patrol, shouted excitedly on his horse. After a while, more and more people from the village gathered around.
"Master, are you okay? I heard that there are refugees from outside entering the inner city, and it's quite a bit chaotic."
"Nothing." Xu Mu laughed and asked someone to lead the horse to the stable.
"My boss, my wife asked me to keep the fish soup. I'm going to heat it up right away."
"My boss, Lu Feng took people up the mountain today and killed a wild boar. I went to get the cooked meat for my boss, and Brother Tiger also got a share."
Xu Mu felt warm in his heart. No matter how chaotic the world outside was, in the small village of Mati Lake, everyone was like a family.
"Xu Lang, warm up." Jiang Caiwei held two bowls of hot tea, handed them to Si Hu first, then walked to Xu Mu with the bowls in hand.
Xu Mu quietly took it and drank it in two sips.
Soon, he will embark on a journey to the border, his life or death uncertain. And his little maid wife will stay in the village, leaning against the door and looking at each other.
As long as life is peaceful, who would want to leave their hometown?
"Chen Sheng, go and call all the people in the village."
Chen Sheng seemed to have guessed something, nodded and quickly ran into the village. Half an hour later, under the bright torch light, more than a hundred people from the village, regardless of women, children, old or weak, were standing on the sand beside the lake.
"Stay here." Xu Mu spat out two words.
The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. Even the naughtiest children kept their voices down and stood seriously beside their parents.
At their age, everyone has heard the story of their boss. There are a lot of things like killing thirty old gangsters with one sword. Therefore, they will worship you very much.
Xu Mu raised his head and stared at the man in front of him. Many times, he asked himself how he could survive with so many villagers, how he could be safe and happy, and how he could earn enough wealth to live a lifetime.
He is like a rootless duckweed, like a wild dog that has lost its home, but so what, he is a hero with eggs hanging on his head, he dares to take chestnuts from the fire, he dares to pull his teeth from the tiger's mouth, he dares to fight, he dares to kill, he dares to walk out on a bright road.
"Listen to me." Xu Mu stiffened his voice. The evening breeze lifted his hair and caused the corners of his robe to flutter.
The little maid's wife took a warm robe from behind and put it on him.
Countless villagers raised their heads for a moment and looked at their little boss with burning eyes. Tian Song was also among them, and his face covered with scars looked extremely determined at this time.
"We all know that there was a war at the border and millions of refugees fled into the inner city."
Several refugees who joined later burst into tears when they heard Xu Mu's words.
"Don't cry, hold your head high." Xu Mu's tone was solemn.
"It's not our fault that we were born in troubled times. But it's our fault that my father doesn't have family happiness, and his wife and children don't have enough to eat!"
"If the Beidi people break the city and go south, it will be chaos."
"We don't care about peace in the world. In this life, we only care about having a clear conscience!"
Xu Mu gritted his teeth, his face getting darker and darker.
"Early tomorrow morning, my boss will go two thousand miles north to the border. If you are with me, please go ten steps forward."
"Who dares to say that if we can fight with iron and steel to defeat the enemy, we are just common men!"
"Roar!"
Countless villagers roared loudly from their throats, and those with strong bodies stepped out ten steps in succession. Their faces were full of perseverance and desolation that could not be concealed.
