"When I came here, I originally wanted to ask you if I was short of food and grass. Now that I think about it, this is just a question. You have already defeated Chen Changqing, and you have robbed many food and grass ships."
"It's very frustrating to miss a big sum of money." Tsuneshiro sighed.
"After all, he is a big tycoon... He still cares about the family's rice business."
"You can sell whatever you want, just don't sell your country."
Changshiro grabbed the tea cup and took two sips comfortably.
"My military advisor said, you and I, not even Li Zhiqiu, can sit still and wait for death."
"What's the meaning."
"The military advisor behind the Cangzhou Puppy Palace will attack you first, and then it will probably be my turn. These royalists wish that the whole world would be filled with people who eat the royal food honestly."
"He never thought that it was not that he didn't want to eat, but that he had no food to eat. There is no other little Tao Tao in the world. There has never been such a person, whether he is a knight or an officer, he has some respect for him. "
Xu Mu agreed very much with this statement. I think back to the beginning, when those knights who assassinated the dog officials knew which city Yuan Tao was in, they would avoid it.
"What do you mean, Master Chang?"
Changshiro smiled and said, "It's boring for me to be a rebel by myself. It's better for us all to be rebels together."
"Throughout the ages, it is normal to overthrow a dynasty, then compete with other heroes to create a new dynasty based on their ability. Whoever has the bigger egg will become the emperor of the new dynasty."
"Play so big."
"I have sent an envoy to contact others. I feel uncomfortable leaving the royalists over there to stab people in a vicious manner."
"So, Master Chang wants to kill the dynasty again?"
"I have such intention, let me tell you first. I am thinking, you should not be a royalist now, right?"
"No." Xu Mu shook his head.
"It's over." Chang Shiro said happily, "Just wait, I will come back and let you know when the time comes. No one dares to take the lead, so I will take the lead."
"A group of jackals, tigers and leopards are going to fight, and it depends on the face of the little lamb?"
This metaphor shocked Xu Mu.
"How about steaming the lamb, and then beating it after the big guy is full?"
Chang Shilang kept chattering, "It really made Yuan An sit still. Tsk tsk, how did the heroes say that poem?"
"The mountains and rivers are shrouded in mist and rain."
"Yes, yes, if you really let Yuan An sit down, this country will be shrouded in fog again. From ancient times to the present, if there are dogs to protect the dynasty, there will be heroes to kill the dynasty."
As he spoke, Changshiro suddenly thought of something and his face turned gloomy, "Of course, except for little Taotao."
Even though many days have passed.
Every time the name was mentioned in the conversation between the two, the atmosphere would become a little tense.
Seeing that Xu Mu made no move.
Chang Shiro's face turned red, "You are still sitting here like a chicken feather. I have traveled thousands of miles to Sichuan, and you can't have a banquet? Oops, my heartache has returned again."
…
After only staying for two days, he selected a hundred shipbuilders, and Tsuneshiro left by ferry.
Xu Mu stood on the bank of the river. After saying goodbye, he remained silent and motionless.
The arrival of Tsuneshiro brought a very important message. The thirty states in this world, the Great Ji Dynasty will eventually be annihilated.
It’s not only the meaning of Tsuneshiro, but also the meaning of heroes from all walks of life. The reason is simple. No one wants another person like Chen Changqing to appear.
Holding the emperor hostage? With the support of the royalists, the decisions of the staff behind him, and Yuan An's momentum, it is no longer what it was when he was in Muyun State.
It’s getting more and more chaotic.
Turning around and walking back, Xu Mu felt a heavy dullness in his chest.
The lame old man who had been stabbed in the butt by eight swords was able to drink wine again. He did not dare to sit on the mat. He raised his head and held the wine cup, drinking happily with the other two old men.
"My son!"
"My son Xu Mu!"
"Our son!"
Xu Mu rubbed his ears and gave up the idea of going upstairs to drink together.
…
Spring is gradually passing.
On the left bank of the Xiangjiang River, a newly built ironworks and two blast furnaces rose from the ground. With the help of the wind-powered waterwheel, Xu Mu began to build the first batch of mountain repeating crossbows, as well as light armor and shields according to Xu Mu's wishes.
Make the troops under his command more conducive to fighting in the mountains and forests.
There is not much iron and stone, so the iron riding equipment can only be installed a little later.
"Over in southern Shu, Prince Dou has built a suspension bridge. Under the cliff, all the old wolves lying on the grass have been killed." Yu Wen held the file and read a little dryly.
"Eight warehouses of grain, grass, weapons and armor have been secretly transported to Shunan."
"Recruitment matters, in the two counties of Linjiang, a total of 3,000 people have been recruited recently..."
If the military advisor is not around, he will do these things.
"Very good." Xu Mu breathed out.
As he thought, preparations for entering Shu were slowly on the right track.
"Where's the military advisor?"
"No reply."
Xu Mu frowned slightly. After Jia Zhou faked his death, he escaped through a grand funeral. It has been almost a month now.
"General Xu, what if I send some people out of Shu?"
"Let Chai Zong go and bring three hundred cavalry to pretend to be a cavalry. If you get the news, send someone back to Shu first to report it."
After all, he was worried and Xu Mu gave the order in a deep voice.
"Yu Wen, is there anything else?"
"One more thing... The Second Madam said that she was feeling unwell today and sent someone to look for the Lord."
The second lady is Li Dawan.
Xu Mu was startled, nodded, then turned and left.
"Si Hu, go and invite Dr. Liu from Huashi Lane. He has better medical skills."
"Li Dawan is like a heroine, how could he get sick? There is no roast pork seller in Huashi Alley. Brother Mu, if not, why don't I go to Dog Meat Alley to treat him?"
"Go to Huashi Alley, or I'll play your piano."
Si Hu spread his legs and ran away.
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the door forward and entered the house. Just as he was preparing a few words of comfort, suddenly, a slim figure rushed towards him.
"Xu, Xu Mu, I'm not sick!" Under the shadow of the dusk lamp, Li Xiaowan raised her blushing face.
"Xu Mu, I've been thinking about it for a long time. One a year, and ten in ten years. In ten years, five will be practicing essays, and five will be practicing martial arts."
"What if it's a girl?" Xu Mu lowered his head and looked at Li Xiaowan in front of him, wearing only a tulle under the shadow of the lamp.
He swallowed.
"If a girl is born, I will teach you embroidery." Li Xiaowan closed her eyes tightly.
Xu Mu stood, feeling that the beauty in front of him seemed like a world away. That year, under the rain of arrows, the little girl in front of him cried and grabbed a stick, carrying a tiger shield, and followed him back to the inner city.
He picked her up and breathed heavily.
In the room, the shadow of the lighted oil lamp flickered more and more, until finally, it fell to the ground with a "clang".
"Xu Mu, the bed, the bed board is broken!"
…
In the night wind.
The puppy Fu was stuck in the tree, completely trapped, crying and wiping his tears.
"My master's magical powers are incredible. I never thought that the second lady could defeat my eighteen magical powers with just three skewers of candied haws!"
