In the palace, there were about six or seven figures in white robes. The first person should be the Shangguan Hall Master, who has an extraordinary demeanor. According to the rules, he entered the palace without carrying his sword, but one hand was hanging down intentionally or unintentionally.
Maybe there is a hidden weapon?
Si Hu stood on one side, carrying a giant ax and glaring at the heroes with a pair of bull's eyes. Si Hu glared at someone who was pregnant. His idea was very simple. If you were not an enemy, why would you look like this?
"Si Hu, let's go out to eat steamed buns." Xu Mu sat firmly on the throne. Deep down, there was no intention of fighting.
"Shangguanshu... pay homage to the King of Shu." After some hesitation, the leader, Shangguanshu, finally spoke first.
"No need to be polite." Xu Mu said with a smile, "However, the title of Shangguan Hall Master is wrong. Don't forget that I am now the chief helmsman of the Thirty States who helps the knight support his sword."
This is not a show of force, but what he will use next is not the identity of the King of Shu, but the actual identity of the helmsman.
Xiao Xiaoyao, who was aside, hurriedly came over and whispered a few words into Shangguan Shu's ear.
Shangguan Shu hesitated for a while, then led several knights and clasped their fists again.
"I've met the chief helmsman."
"Well said, please take a seat."
Shangguan Shu nodded silently, and with a few knights, sat down firmly in the palace.
"Sun Xun, let someone hold the tea."
To be honest, Xu Mu has always attached great importance to Xia'er's line. The world of heroes is a ray of clarity in troubled times.
And he, intentionally or unintentionally, seems to have brought the temple and the world together as Jia Zhou said.
"Does the chief helmsman know martial arts?" Shangguan Shu was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked.
Xu Mu knew this was coming. If the chief helmsman of Thirty States Xia'er is a person who has no power to tie a chicken, no matter what, there will always be a sense of shame.
But these things are not very lethal to Xu Mu, who was able to debate eight student union seats in a college debate in his previous life.
"Master Shangguan Hall, what is martial arts?" Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Martial arts is the ability to support justice, punish evil and promote good." Shangguan Shu thought carefully and spoke.
"Supporting justice, punishing evil and promoting good... I, the helmsman, followed the marquis to kill the traitor, and then led the army north to block Beidi. Does this count as supporting justice, punishing evil and promoting good? If not, Shangguan Hall Master, please go to Shu and ask again, after I, Xu Mu, entered Shuzhou, have I done any righteous deeds?"
Shangguan Shu's face was a little bitter.
"What I mean is that the King of Shu is the chief helmsman. Without martial arts, he may not be able to convince the public."
Xu Mu shook his head, "Master Shangguan Hall, why are you learning martial arts?"
"Kill the dog officer and save the people."
"That's it, I have done all these things. Master Shangguan Hall used swords to kill dog officials, and I, Xu Mu, used soldiers, courage and strategy, so why not? .”
Step by step, starting from entering the inner city, Xu Mu met countless heroes. The two villagers who presented the wine, Ma Liu, Chen Jiaqiao, and Lao Cripple... these people were all heroes. From then on, he also understood that although there were slight differences in what the heroes wanted, they were actually the same.
Just like what Jia Zhou said, temples compete for benevolence, and rivers and lakes compete for righteousness. Since benevolence and righteousness, why can't they be twisted into a rope.
Shangguan Shu picked up the tea cup and took a few sips carefully to soothe his old voice before speaking again.
"Chief Helmsman, allow me to say one more thing. Temples and rivers and lakes have followed different paths since ancient times."
"What Master Shangguan Hall said is a mistake. If the approach was different, why would our ancestor Li Zhiqiu insist on gathering righteousness from thirty states and attack Muyun State? Could it be that Master Shangguan Hall has made a decision about Master Li , Do you have any doubts?"
Shangguan Shu was speechless for a moment as he listened.
Next to Shangguan Shu, another old knight hurriedly spoke to help.
"Chief Commander, Commander Li is here to gather righteousness. Don't forget the oath to the world that our knights swore -"
"The mountains and rivers are shrouded in smoke and mist, and in ten years a dynasty can be cut down with one sword." Xu Mu answered perfectly, and then spoke seriously, "The helmsman Li Zhiqiu was killed by an adulterer. I found out that it was a estrangement plan by the Cangzhou royal family. Muyun Prefecture fell into the hands of the imperial family. Our Shuzhou army went out to attack the imperial family's Muyun Prefecture. Could it be considered as killing the dynasty?"
The old man who was helping choked up his voice and began to hold the tea in silence.
"Master Xu is so righteous and upright, and we admire him very much. But Master Xu may not know that knights from thirty states in the world are ranked according to their seniority. Master Xu just came to the hall some time ago, and he sat in the position of the leader. , I’m afraid some people are not convinced. There are rules for everything." Another middle-aged knight clasped his fists and spoke.
"Who is this?" Xu Mu pointed.
"Lizhou Xiangzhu Yuanxiu."
"Master Yuan Xiang's words are as shameless as those of a child with a yellow mouth." Xu Mu shook his head and sighed.
The incense master Yuan Xiu's face changed with shock, "Please give me some advice from the chief rudder."
"Seniority rules? Don't forget, we are living in a troubled world. If we go by seniority, I, Xu Mu, have killed many more dog officers than all of you here. There are still rules, what rules? Could it be that It means that the whole world must stick to the rules. Marquis Yuan should not be on the side of the emperor, and I, Xu Mu, should not go to Shu. All the hot-blooded men in the world should honestly obey the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers and just get by?"
"Master Yuanxiang, please leave Shuzhou immediately. If you are such a polite person, you shouldn't have said anything about killing the dynasty earlier."
Yuan Xiu looked ashamed. He couldn't sit or stand for a while.
"Chief Rudder...Master Yuan Xiang was speechless for a moment, please forgive me Chief Rudder." Shangguan Shu swallowed hard and raised his hands to clasp his fists.
"I, Xu Mu, am not an unreasonable person, and I also know that Master Yuanxiang just kept his mouth shut, and it turned out to be wrong." Xu Mu sighed, and also raised his hands to clasp his fists.
At this time, several knights in the palace did not dare to speak randomly. They suddenly understood that the leader of the King of Shu in front of them seemed difficult to deal with.
"Shangguan Zaizi, Shangguan Zaizi!"
At this time, Xu Mu suddenly heard a familiar voice. When he looked up, he realized that Zhuge Fan had walked into the palace angrily dragging an old lame leg.
However, Shangguan Shu in the palace looked surprised and happy, and he stood up hurriedly to help Zhuge Lame.
"Senior Zhuge!"
"Your mother's bastard Shangguan!" The old lame man was not polite and slapped Shangguan Shu staggering. Then he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Xu Mu.
"You want the qualifications of an egg! Do I have enough qualifications? When your former chief helmsman met me, he had to be polite. You are nothing but a piece of shit. I shouldn't have saved a coward like you back then!"
"My son, that's my son! Are you qualified enough?"
"Senior Zhuge, is Xu, Captain Xu your son?"
"What a big boy, this is your only one! My son, call me daddy and let them see."
Sitting on the throne, Xu Mu was stunned and looked up at Zhuge Fan who was chattering away. He had already guessed that Old Lame was quite famous among the Thirty State Heroes. But I never thought that it seemed a bit big.
"My son, call me daddy quickly."
Xu Mu gritted his teeth.
"Dad, why are you here! It's windy outside, be careful not to freeze to death!"
