For two or three days, Xu Mu stayed with Jiang Caiwei. The joy of becoming a father for the first time is far from gone.
Among them, there is more thoughts about Chen Jiaqiao.
"Mr. Chen is really a hero." Even though she was just a woman, in the past two or three days, every time she saw Xu Mu sighing, Jiang Caiwei would whisper comfort.
"I hope that this man will be free from disasters and diseases, and that he will grow up to be a general and a heroic son soon."
"If he grows up, I will personally teach him... to write anti-poetry." Xu Mu said with a smile. For a while, the haze in my heart slowly dissipated.
"Mr. Chen's words, about his heroic ambition to die without regrets and cut through the nine heavens in troubled times, really enlightened the world."
"Xu Lang, read it again."
"The heroic ambition to die without regrets will cut through the nine heavens of troubled times."
Listening, Jiang Caiwei suddenly looked strange.
"Caiwei, did you discover something?"
"Xu Lang also knows that before the slave family was in exile, they also liked to read and write. There seems to be something wrong with these two poems."
Xu Mu was startled. Previously, Jia Zhou also said that this anti-poem seemed a bit strange.
"Xu Lang, Mr. Chen is the top candidate in the exam, and he often polishes his anti-poems. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such mistakes."
"Wrong words?"
"Exactly."
Jiang Caiwei's expression suddenly became serious.
"There is nothing wrong with the first sentence, but the second sentence... Mr. Chen, a hero who went to death, could use such arrogant and wrong words."
"When a woman cuts and embroiders, she misses her lover, and only then can she use the word 'cut' when she misses her lover."
"But Mr. Chen is a good man who died for his righteousness, so he shouldn't be able to use the word 'cut'. According to the slave family, the last sentence should be changed to 'split the nine heavens of the troubled world'."
"Changing cutting to cutting is in line with a man's nature."
"Heroic ambition to die without regrets, splitting the ninth heaven in troubled times." Xu Mu's face trembled. He suddenly understood that Chen Jiaqiao's two anti-poems were not just poems about death. More, it is to bring back a message.
He deliberately used the woman's wrong words to attract their attention. If not for this, Cangzhou would have been sealed off long ago, and these two poems would never have been transmitted back to Chengdu.
That black robe... or woman.
"Caiwei, thank you." Xu Mu stood up and exhaled with difficulty. Then he turned around and walked towards the palace. If it's almost time, it's time for Jia Zhou to get up from his nap.
…
"It's really a woman." Listening to Xu Mu's words, Jia Zhou also fell into a brief state of astonishment.
"Chen Jiaqiao's fatal counter-attack should be correct. But I can't figure out why her voice is so hoarse."
"Or charcoal." Jia Zhou frowned, "This method is too cruel. Not only women, but even men, if you are not careful, you will be choked."
"I suddenly understood. My lord, think about it again, why does she stay away from the palace for about ten days at the end of every month."
"Women's menstruation." Xu Mu gritted his teeth.
Jia Zhou sighed and nodded, "She likes to eat light things like lotus cake, which adds a bit of credibility. As for being good at touching horse bones, we still need to investigate clearly where she is from."
"In addition, I heard from Cao Hong that the swordsmen around her are not simple either. Their swords are sharp and they can kill people in the blink of an eye."
"To be honest, lord, I was originally wondering if it would be the chief helmsman of the Thirty States. But now it seems that there is actually someone else."
"My lord, please think carefully, which woman has a grudge against you? Or... my lord's romantic debt."
Xu Mu shook his head, "I have been begging for life all this time, and I have never known such a person. Of course, I have killed a lot of people, including the daughters of my enemies."
Jia Zhou nodded and thought for a while.
"Lord, I have a plan."
"Wenlong, please speak."
"The lord can send a message to the world, so he said that this woman was originally the lord's third wife, and asked her to return to Shu to talk about it."
"Wenlong, how did she end up in Shu?"
Jia Zhou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Just let the world know that she is a woman. If the wealthy families in Cangzhou drive her out of Cangzhou, it will be beneficial to Shuzhou." "
"But Caiwei just got pregnant... Wenlong, Zhaowenli, I said she is Sihu's wife, is that okay?"
Jia Zhou was startled, "Okay. Si Hu is also the lord's younger brother, and everyone in the world knows it. It's just a matter of clarifying the relationship, so it's not a big problem."
"That's it. I want to see who this black-robed woman who entered Cangzhou is."
"Those who are good at touching horse bones have to know how to ride horses since childhood. There are thirty states in the world. In addition to Yanzhou, Liangzhou and Shuzhou, plus the two states of An and Bing, there are actually two more states."
"The Qiang people outside Yumen Pass, and the Di people in the Saibei Grassland."
"Lord, let's find out."
Xu Mu nodded, feeling a little chilly in his body.
"In addition, the King of Yuzhou has already conquered Huzhou in Hebei, plus the inner city, and even the direction of Hezhou... it is already the land of five states."
There are three states in the inner city, Huzhou and Hezhou, a total of five states. The deserted road from Hezhou to Laoguan also belongs to Hezhou. Three hundred miles after Laoguan is the inner city of Yuzhou.
Unconsciously, Uncle Chang seemed to be flying.
"If winter hadn't been approaching, I estimate that all four northern states would have been accepted by Chang Silang." Jia Zhou said calmly, "The king of Yuzhou will be the first big fish in this troubled world."
Xu Mu didn't know what to say. It wasn't because he was jealous, but because he was a little worried. Uncle Chang takes too big a step and may fall down.
Of course, being in the inner city, whether it is talent, food, ore, Chang Shiro is definitely in the lead.
"In the direction of Liangzhou, Dong Wen repulsed the 100,000 coalition troops of An and Bing Prefecture, and killed 30,000. I estimate that in the spring of next year, once winter is gone, he will make a big splash to capture An and Bing's two prefectures."
"Lingzhou in the southeast also captured Wuzhou with the help of the Shanyue people. The combined land of the two states is powerful."
"On Laizhou Island, 50,000 rebels succeeded in overthrowing the nest, and the leader of the rebels, Ru, established himself as king."
"My lord, the struggle for hegemony in troubled times is about to begin."
Xu Mu listened and fell into deep thought for a moment.
In his Shuzhou, even the tiger barbarians are not yet Xiao Qing, and the accumulation of grain and weapon casting is still in its infancy. The foundation is too low and the start is too late.
…
"Brother Mu, do you want me to marry you?" Si Hu, who was holding eight steamed buns, had red eyes.
"Brother Tiger is going to be very happy." Han Jiu, who was nearby, just started to cheer without knowing what was going on. Si Hu immediately grabbed him and threw him out with a "Ah" sound.
"Brother Mu, I've told you before that my steamed buns are not portioned enough. I'm only sixteen, and I'm still old enough to grow-"
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, "Si Hu, you're fake. How can I let you marry such a vicious woman?"
"Brother Mu, many people say that I want to marry a witch. When the time comes, she comes to Shuzhou to share the steamed buns with me. What should I do?"
"Kill him directly to avenge Mr. Chen." Xu Mu's tone was cold.
This time, Si Hu felt relieved. Holding the bun in his arms, he giggled at Xu Mu again.
"I heard Brother Tiger is getting married? I'm asking for a wedding drink from a certain family——"
As soon as the second general came over, before his voice could finish, he was thrown out by Si Hu with a sound of "ah".
