On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, some old willow trees by the Neihe River sprouted new buds.
The scholars and students who had been cooped up all winter began to gather in Shuixie Academy again and recite fucking hymns.
"Think about it, think about it, till your mother's dog belly!"
Tsuneshiro kicked seven or eight scholars into the lake one by one. Suddenly, there was a scream of curses.
"After all, he is a prime minister, but you don't dare to kick him? When I think of little Taotao listening to this every day, I can't help but get angry."
"There are too many things going on recently." Xu Mu smiled bitterly, "You are also the king of Yuzhou, why are you making trouble with them?"
"I was born with this temper. I'll hit wherever it makes me unhappy." Changshiro clapped his hands, picked up two more stones, and threw them to the drowned scholars, who were full of hair, and then walked back with some satisfaction.
"Why did you enter Changyang?"
"It's something big." Tsuneshiro's expression suddenly became serious.
Xu Mu was startled. In his impression, Master Chang was a lawless master. What could have happened that allowed him to enter Changyang himself?
"Digou sent envoys, Zhao Qingyun's Hezhou gave way, and now we have arrived at Laoguan."
"Envoy from Beidi?"
"I guess he wants to enter the inner city to show off his power and collect more annual tribute."
"Did you kill?"
Changshiro dug his ears and said, "There were three hundred people in total, but I killed only fifteen."
Xu Mu was speechless.
"Then why don't you just finish the killing?"
"One of them called Tengger several times, and then told me that Li Poshan, the general of the Northern Expedition... is in their hands."
"Are you begging for your life to trap you? The battle at Yongguan is going to be very bad."
"I'd rather kill a few less dogs, and still have some hope. If I find out later that it's a fake, the worst I can do is cut them alive."
"Then you entered Changyang because you wanted to enter the palace."
Chang Shiro raised his head and looked around at the scenery of Changyang City, "I want to ask the person on the dragon chair. I have a clear idea."
"what."
"Should I fight Di Gou? If I pay tribute again, I will stop doing it. Besides, regarding General Li's matter, I need to go to the Ministry of War to get some files and check them out."
"I'll go with you."
"It's rare for Xu Zaifu to accompany you. I'll go to Yuzhou another day. I'll treat you to some flower wine."
Xu Mu sighed helplessly. The two people who grew up playing in the mud together were clearly polarized.
"How is Chen Changqing?"
"Same old, making trouble with me."
"He has a lot of troops, so he probably thinks he has the confidence." Chang Silang turned his head and glanced at Xu Mu with interest.
"I asked you, can you change your habit of taking things step by step?"
"No, it's about survival." Xu Mu smiled.
"When little Taotao died, I suddenly realized that you were the only one who could speak. When we leave the palace later, you can take me to the tomb to see it."
"Of course. The young Marquis has been waiting."
This sentence made Tsuneoshiro, who had been chattering endlessly, stop talking and walk quickly.
Not long after, the two of them had passed the middle gate.
"Master Chang, after meeting His Majesty, please calm down for a moment. After all, it was the young Marquis who helped him up."
"Don't make me angry. I told you that I don't care about the dynasty or the emperor now. In this rotten world, you can't expect any good saplings to grow."
"I am an old friend of yours. I have to say something ugly. You should leave the inner city as soon as possible. This place is not suitable for you."
Xu Mu was silent for a moment.
"Little boss, you should have a better way."
"Thank you, Master Chang, for your kind words."
Changshiro pursed his lips, turned around and continued walking forward, when he suddenly stopped.
Xu Mu raised his head and found that not far in front of him, Chen Changqing was leaving the palace with three thousand iron guards.
"Chen Changqing?"
"indeed."
"No wonder you can't kill him. You might as well hide in a turtle shell." Tsuneshiro laughed and hurried forward.
Xu Mu was startled. It was too late to stop him, so he had to blow the whistle. Not long after, Cao Hong quickly led thousands of Hutang dead soldiers to fall on both sides of the palace wall.
When the three-thousand-strong Iron Guard saw Chang Shiro coming coldly, the young commander in charge immediately reprimanded them angrily.
Tsuneshiro raised his hand and slapped him down.
Chen Changqing looked shocked. He thought it was an assassin invited by Xu Mu, so he quickly retreated and hid in the military formation.
Above the sky, a shadow suddenly appeared. Chen Lu wielded two tiger-headed iron whips and struck them down angrily.
Tsuneshiro grabbed an iron gun from the side, raised his head, and threw it directly into the sky.
King Chen Tianwang let out a strange cry, clamped the thrown iron spear with both whips, and flew backwards in an exaggerated manner, forming a perfect parabola.
"Yes, it's Chang Qiang, I'll even shoot an egg!"
Chen Lu's words shocked the three thousand iron guards who were originally clamoring.
Chen Changqing huddled in the military formation, never expecting that the grumpy man in front of him was actually the King of Yuzhou.
"King Yuzhou, what are you doing?"
"Seeing that you are unhappy, I want to beat you up." Chang Shiro grinned. In a flash, he grabbed another iron gun in his hand and quickly threw it into the military formation.
"Shield! Shields!"
The iron spear pierced the two-sided tiger shield. Chen Changqing was trembling with fright, with sweat pouring down his face.
"Put away your dog soldiers. If you want to fight, come to Yuzhou to find me. You can fight alone, I will give you a hand. You and Zhao Qingyun are the only two dog soldiers in Daji. They are both raised by dog fathers. The little bitch that came out."
Xu Mu approached and stood next to Chang Silang. If Chen Changqing dared to let the Iron Guards charge and kill him, he would have no choice but to use the dead soldiers of Hutang.
Chen Changqing gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare after all. Under the protection of three thousand iron guards, he huddled in the military formation and walked cautiously outside the palace.
"Enjoyed?" Xu Mu showed helplessness.
"Fortunately, I'm not strong enough. I've been drinking too much these days."
"He is also wearing three layers of iron armor."
"Hey, you are really a bitch who is afraid of death." Changshiro began to curse again.
"Master Chang, please come, we are ready to enter the palace."
Rubbing his hands, Changshiro nodded, stepped steadily again, and headed towards the royal road not far ahead.
With his colleagues by his side, Xu Mu was actually a little frightened. He never expected that Chang Shiro's martial arts would be so terrifying.
Chen Tianwang, the double whip, was directly shot away.
…
"The King of Yuzhou has come to the palace to pay his respects." The old eunuch outside the palace sang in a trembling voice with shock.
There was no summons, no letter of worship to the palace, just came in such a grand manner. Sure enough, as the legend said, he was a ruthless man who dared to gather troops to occupy the city.
Yuan An, who was sitting on the dragon chair, obviously looked a little anxious. Previously, he was looking at the white painting album in the royal study room to select a concubine. Now, he sat down in a hurry.
…
Outside the hall, Chang Shiro stopped.
Xu Mu was puzzled for a moment.
"Eunuch turn around." Chang Shiro shouted.
The father-in-law who was standing outside the hall turned around in shock. Several young eunuchs not far away also hurriedly paused and knelt down in a hurry without moving.
Tsuneshiro sighed.
"My dear boss, look at the newly paved royal road, the newly added glazed tiles, and the newly replaced palace maids. They are all quite beautiful."
"There are internal and external troubles, a lot of waste is waiting for improvement, and money is used wisely. Please think about it. Is this what a wise king should do?"
Xu Mu stood in the wind, feeling that powerlessness rushing through his body again.
