"My lord, go away now, Muyunzhou will be safe." On the bank of the river, there was a sound of respect from the east.
The time for alliance is coming soon.
For fear of causing trouble, Xu Mu had sent someone to ask Huang Daochong of Kezhou. But I found that Zuo Shiren really wanted to play a big game this time.
"The meeting place is not too far from the Xiangjiang River. I have asked Ma Yi to set up a camp on the opposite bank of the river. If the lord is in danger, he will enter through the forest to avoid the killing first. Then use the signal, Ma Yi I will take someone to pick him up."
Xu Mu nodded. He understood that Dongfang Jing, as a staff member, was worried about his own safety, so he set up such a plan. However, in Xu Mu's opinion, Zuo Shiren may not have murderous intentions towards him. On the contrary, it is the Cangzhou royal family that is Dongling's biggest nightmare.
"Lord, take care of yourself all the way."
The river wind howled, causing people's robes to flutter. Dongfang Jing, who was sitting on the wooden wheel cart, said goodbye with a serious bow.
Xu Mu returned the greeting, turned around and boarded the boat.
"Bo Lie, don't work hard at night and take care of yourself. I, Xu Mu, still need Bo Lie to make decisions in the world."
"I would like to follow my lord."
Raising his head, the lame Dongfang Jing's eyes were red, with a look of reluctance on his face.
…
The time for the alliance is actually four days away. But taking into account the distance, it’s almost time to set off now.
Accompanying him along the way was only one general from the Xu family's army, and he was accompanied by three thousand Shu soldiers.
Of course, there is also the good brother Si Hu, who is wearing heavy armor and carrying an axe. He looks so fierce that even the fish in the river dare not show his head.
After walking on the waterway for about half a day, we only got off the boat and changed our route when we got close to the north shore. But he never thought that at this moment, several small river boats suddenly blocked the front.
There was no carelessness. After the leading Shuzhou general Pi gave the order steadily, the Shu soldiers on the boat drew their swords and raised their bows, looking coldly at the boat blocking the river.
"Shout! If there is no response, we will be attacked by the enemy!"
Xu Mu sat on the bow of the boat and gave no orders to stop General Pi. In this troubled time, there are many people in the world who want to kill him.
Especially those noble families who wanted to crush him into the dust.
"My lord, he is a Taoist priest from Mi Taoist disciples. He would like to board the boat to talk to his lord." After a while, Pi will return to his destiny.
"Mi Dao disciple."
In Ye Xiao's information, it is occasionally mentioned that Mi Dao Tu is the most popular civilian rebel army in the area near Dongling. Unlike Xiaerjun, Xiaerjun saves the country with chivalry. As for rice Taoist disciples, they mainly recruit poor people to join the Taoism, and those who join the Taoism need to donate a bucket of rice. The doctrine they propagandize is even more interesting. It is called "No matter high or low, all people in the world should eat from the same trough."
In this world, there is a lot of despair that you cannot see, as well as all kinds of conspiracies for power and power.
"Get them on board."
Blocking the river halfway is either to ask for something or to do business. Xu Mu hopes it is the latter.
Soon, an old man in colorful robes and two middle-aged disciples slowly boarded the ship. After passing the inspection area, he carefully removed the sword and placed it on the ship's plank.
"Midao Luxiang, pay homage to the King of Shu."
The old man's colorful robe was fluttering and he bowed to Xu Mu. After him, the other two middle-aged disciples did the same.
"No courtesy. Come and give me a seat for you, sir." Xu Mu raised his face in the river wind. He was very curious as to why Mi Dao disciples came to him, the king of Western Shu.
"Sir, you must be waiting impatiently. If the soldiers in our unit had been more tempered earlier, I'm afraid they would have shot them with their bows drawn immediately."
"After waiting for three days, I finally met the King of Shu. I am really a little anxious. I would like to ask the King of Shu to forgive me."
"What's the crime?" Xu Mu shook his head, "Sir, just tell me, why did you wait for me so hard halfway?"
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "The King of Shu also knows that this time we are participating in a charity event in Kezhou, and I, Dongling Mi Dao, am also a united force."
"It is difficult to save the country and it is everyone's responsibility to kill the false emperor. If there is anything wrong, old gentleman, you can speak up."
If you want to build a relationship, everyone will say it. But for this kind of small alliance, like Dongling Midao, you don't need to think about it. It must be Zuo Shiren's method to get a seat.
Lu Xiang hesitated for a while, knowing that Xu Mu in front of him was not easy to fool, so he simply spoke seriously.
"King of Shu, I have a suggestion. Everyone knows that the King of Shu is kind and loving to the people. This is the foundation of governing the world, which is very similar to my Mi Dao. If not, I, Mi Dao, will enter Western Shu and educate the people on behalf of the King of Shu. This is how First, the benevolent government of Western Shu——"
"I refuse." Xu Mu said without thinking.
Xishu is a pure land, and he doesn't want to provoke any Taoist disciples. Most of these people who wear the cloak of salvation have hidden selfish desires. As a man of two generations, Xu Mu was very familiar with this method.
The border of Western Shu is heavily defended. Thanks to this, Mi Dao disciples could not move from Dongling to enter Shu. Of course, even if migration came, Xu Mu would still use a stick to drive them out.
"King of Shu, what you see in front of you is already a filthy and chaotic world. I, a Taoist disciple, put kindness and love for the people first. All people are equal and share the same trough. If we come to Shu to help, it will be a big deal for the king of Shu. With the help of you. Don’t you see, Dongling Zuoren, it is my Taoist disciple Mi who spreads the teachings of benefiting the world, so that we can achieve today’s glory.”
"In that case, the old gentleman should stay in Dongling. There is no need to go to Xishu. There are barbarians there who are uncivilized." Xu Mu smiled.
No matter how much you boast, if you dare to enter a Taoist disciple in Xishu, I will kill one of you.
"Mr. Lu, Western Shu is not only uneducated, but also has a lot of barbarians. As the king of Shu, I would like to advise you not to think about going to Shu to spread your Taoism. If not, you will be killed by the rebellious people in Shu, and your body will not be recovered. of."
Speaking of which, even a fool understood what Xu Mu meant.
Lu Xiang's face darkened, but in an instant, his face became as bright as a spring breeze.
"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll just wait for the King of Shu to go to the alliance and talk with you again."
"That's easy to say."
Xu Mu calmly clasped his fists.
Lu Xiang stood up, saluted again, picked up his sword, and slowly walked down the boat.
"Brother Mu, who are these people?" Si Hugang was squatting aside, listening in confusion.
"You're cheating." Xu Mu frowned.
After leaving Xishu and entering Dongling in the south of the Yangtze River, he discovered that this dark world was already full of all kinds of branches.
If these rice Taoist disciples continue to spread their faith, they will spread throughout thirty states in the world. By then, I'm afraid it will really be "at the age of sixty, the world will be prosperous".
This is also the reason why Xu Mu insisted not to let the rice enter Shu. The source of trouble arises from the bottom. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. And the rice road is the hidden mountain torrent that overturned the boat.
Of course, everyone has their own way. In troubled times, it is originally about everyone showing off their magical powers and the weak taking advantage of the strong. Until one day, when the new dynasty ushered in a prosperous era, these damn ghosts and ghosts disappeared all of a sudden like little ghosts who couldn't see the sun.
"Ignore it, continue sailing, and try to reach Kezhou as soon as possible." Xu Mu stood up and looked at the few river boats scattered in front of him.
"In addition, when we get close to the shore, we will send someone to inform Huang Daochong first and tell him that I want to see him."
"Follow my king's order!"
