"Strengthening the banker?" Li Dawan, whose shirt was halfway down, suddenly paused.
"So, it's not the pile driving that Mrs. Lian and others are talking about?"
"It can be understood that way." Xu Mu stood up hesitantly, turned his head and glanced at the newly made bed.
"Li Dawan, the red quilt is a bit festive..."
Li Dawan blushed, nodded, and rubbed the corners of his clothes desperately.
"I promised your grandfather before that I would have ten or eight children——"
Bang.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Xu Mu twitched. The wind and snow outside made his whole body feel cold all of a sudden. Everywhere was cold.
Li Dawan stamped his feet and hurriedly ran behind the curtain.
Beside the door, a half-grown child was rubbing his nose and raised his head, "My boss, I thought about it for a while. I can't help it anymore about Brother Tiger's revenge."
"In these eight hours, I have learned nine peerless martial arts. My boss gave me two taels of silver, and I will achieve great feats after eating the candied haws."
"Puppy Fu, go out first."
"Master, let me make a move to open your eyes."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, turned around and saw that Li Dawan had come out from behind the curtain and put on his undershirt in a decent manner.
"Puppy Fu, my boss will take you to eat meat."
"Ha, what kind of meat?"
"Stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots."
…
Xu Mu, who was upset, sat silently on the balcony, listening to the howling of the puppy Fu being beaten by his mother under Zhuangzi, his face becoming more and more speechless.
There were footsteps approaching, Xu Mu turned his head and found that at some point, Jia Zhou had already walked over with light steps. He bowed first and then slowly sat down.
"Master, the account books are finished."
"Mr. Wenlong is a great talent. He is of little use to me, Xu Mu's village."
"Lord, please don't say this again." Jia Zhou raised his head and looked at the path outside Horseshoe Lake.
"When I was checking the account, I looked back and forth several times. Over the past few days, Changjia Town has not delivered food according to the rules."
Listening, Xu Mu frowned. Not only winemaking, but also food preparation in troubled times, so during this period of time, he would secretly collect food. In Changjia Town alone, the amount purchased slowly doubled.
"A duckweed without roots is a wandering dog. No matter where you want to take root, it is not easy."
Jia Zhou stood up and patted Xu Mu on the shoulder.
"The grain has been pinched. If I'm not wrong, it should be Chang Zhuangyuan's intention to let you go there in person. After all, many people in the inner city know that the lord is now Dingbei Hou's son-in-law."
"To put it nicely, my lord is now on the stage in the inner city."
"However, I suggest that your lord does not need to go. He is more anxious than you and should come over in person."
After saying this, Jia Zhou's light steps disappeared on the stairs.
After thinking for a while, Xu Mu also stood up. Tsuneshiro's place is indeed a very complicated existence.
As Jia Zhou said, in just one day's work, Chang Silang and Chang Wei appeared on the path in front of Zhuangzi on horseback.
Of course, this time he was not carrying a bright silver gun.
Xu Mu was curious about what excuse the rebel leader would use this time.
"I heard that there are roe deer near Horseshoe Lake. I thought I would shoot two of them." Changshiro got off his horse and didn't even bother to hide his smile. "Look, I even brought an iron bow."
"Master Chang, it's snowing now."
"That's right, I just remembered. Then I won't shoot the roe deer. Let's chat."
Xu Mu's face was speechless, he pushed the room next to him and welcomed Chang Shiro in.
"As for the food, I looked at it earlier. The Minfang people miscalculated the time and thought that Ma Tihu came to pick it up two days earlier."
"Master Chang, please tell me if you have something to say."
Chang Shiro smiled slightly, raised his head, and looked at Xu Mu with burning eyes.
"I remembered what happened at that time. That time, the Xiaodong family was chased by twenty officers and soldiers and had no way out. In the end, they actually staged a beautiful counterattack."
Xu Mu didn't respond. If he followed the lead, he might be involved in rebellion again.
"I asked you to marry Wanwan, and you really did."
Changshiro sighed, "I'm thinking that I'm not ugly, I'm good at literature and martial arts, and my family is considered a wealthy one. It doesn't make sense. She just likes you."
"Love is like a dog. It bit me, then ran away without looking back."
Xu Mu smacked his mouth, are you thinking about the Dingbian camp with more than 50,000 people?
"You should know, my little boss, that a lot of soldiers have been mobilized in the inner city recently. The prime minister in the court has recruited all the soldiers from the nearby camps. Do you know how many there are?"
"I don't know." Xu Mu shook his head.
"Ninety thousand."
Changshiro showed a difficult smile, which didn't seem to be fake.
"How many people do you think there will be at Xiao Taotao's side?"
"Master Chang, is there going to be a war?" Xu Mu had a surprised look on his face.
"Tsk, little boss, please pull me down. If you do this again, I will beat you up."
Xu Mu smiled and remained silent.
"There is no chance of winning this matter. Xiao Gouxiang has been waiting for this game. Xiao Taotao finally has no choice. I sent people to the Western Regions before and asked them all."
"How to say?"
"Nothing can be saved."
Tsuneshiro hugged the back of his head, leaned back, and put his legs on the table in frustration.
"Xiao Taotao's matter... is already a dead end. Daji's matter is also a dead end."
"Everyone knows it, everyone knows it. Many Dingbian generals are looking towards the inner city with their necks stretched wide. When spring comes next year, there may be Beidi knocking on the border, and the barbarians in the south are starting to be a little disobedient."
"He is an old friend of mine. We grew up playing in the mud together. I took him to peek at seventeen widows and six girls who had not left the palace. The first time I went to the Qing Palace, he stood in the lobby coquettishly. , my robe was almost torn by the old madam who was recruiting her."
"That year he said he wanted to visit thirty states in the world. I walked eighty miles with red eyes like a fool."
"After that, the path between me and him started to go wrong."
Tsuneishiro sighed and paused. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
Xu Mu didn't know whether Chang Shiro in front of him was speaking from his heart, or whether he was playing the emotional card to him.
"Nothing is wrong. What is wrong is the way of the world."
"My little boss, I think there is something wrong with the world. What we have to do is to change the world."
Xu Mu looked helpless, played the emotional card, and finally came back.
"I don't know what Master Chang means."
Chang Silang's face was serious, "Dingbei Marquis, did they give you the half-faced tiger talisman?"
"Indeed." Xu Mu didn't hide it, guessing that Chang Silang had already found out.
"If there is chaos in Daji, what will happen to Xiaodong's family?"
Xu Mu would definitely not tell anyone about his plan to enter Shuzhou. He raised his head slightly and his tone was calm.
"I have no choice but to go to the northwest."
"There are horse bandits making trouble over there. How brave are you? If not, can I show you a way?"
"What way?" Xu Mu looked calm.
"You and I will save the world from water and fire."
"Overthrow the dynasty!"
