After digesting Huang Daochong's information and having a banquet, Xu Mucai, led by Huang Daochong, headed to the location of the alliance the next day.
The location of the alliance was chosen according to Zuo Shiren's habit of earning fame, and as Xu Mu expected, it was set up on the bank of the river. Brocade carpets were laid out, and rows of high pavilions were built. The girls who came in and out were all carrying delicacies and fine wines, and they were all fresh and watery.
"King Shu, if our Huang family doesn't join the alliance, we won't be able to get through." Huang Daochong said seriously.
Xu Mu didn't know that Huang Daochong was worried in his heart. What this all-rounded Kezhou leader is most worried about is getting himself burned.
But this time, Zuo Shiren wanted to make it big, and the matter of the alliance was probably already known to the whole world. Of course, no matter what, as long as he does not participate in the alliance, Xu Mu believes that Huang Daochong is capable of continuing to deal with it.
"Thank you, Master Huang."
"That's easy to say."
Huang Daochong sighed, turned around quickly, led the guards who had followed him, and slowly left the alliance area.
After standing for a while, Xu Mu turned around silently.
The alliance in front of me is probably getting ready to begin. The wind coming from the river was a little faster, and not many of the leaders of the small alliance had arrived yet.
"King Xu Shu." Just as Xu Mu was thinking, suddenly, a young man wearing a Confucian robe walked up to him.
Si Hu wanted to stop him, but Xu Mu called him away.
"If I guess correctly, you are Xu Mu, the King of Shu." The young man smiled, bowed his head and saluted, and repeated the words.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. Like Zuo Shiren, his face was full of Confucianism, but the difference was that he had a pair of sharp eyebrows, vaguely hiding a heroic spirit.
"Exactly, without instructions——"
"The Tang family in Qingzhou, the youngest is Tang Wuyuan." The young man still bowed his head, "I know that the King of Shu has arrived early, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Xu Mu remained calm. Not only Dongfang Jing, but also Huang Daochong asked him to pay attention to the person in front of him. According to Huang Daochong, Tang Wuyuan, the youngest member of the Tang family, is an extraordinary talent.
Of course I want to win over.
But Xu Mu guessed that behind Tang Wuyuan was the Qingzhou Tang family. It is unlikely that a well-known Sangong family would surrender to him.
"It turns out it's Brother Tang. I've heard about it for a long time." Xu Mu smiled and returned the greeting, "By the way, Brother Tang has something going on?"
After the family's success, both the Mi Taoist disciples and the Qingzhou Tang family seemed to have come over.
"To be honest with the King of Shu, I heard that the King of Shu is the man in the clothes of the young marquis. I, Tang Wuyuan, have always respected the loyalty of the young marquis. I have been waiting for a long time just to catch a glimpse of the man in the clothes."
Xu Mu remained calm.
He likes to hear rainbow farts are true, but they are just old brothers' mutual praise.
"The world has spread false rumors." Xu Mu shook his head, "This time, you and I are participating in a righteous cause in the Kezhou Alliance. We hope to cooperate more."
"King Shu, please take your seat."
"Very good."
It didn't take long for the two of them to sit down. After a while, several more leaders of the alliance slowly entered the room. The previous Mi Dao Luxiang was following a white-haired old Taoist. He hesitated for a while but did not come to say hello.
The white-haired old man glanced at him and was silent for a while, but he also had no intention of saying hello.
"It's just a matter of troubled times. The King of Shu will not pay attention to them." Tang Wuyuan comforted him, "I came back from the inner city specially to know about this alliance meeting. Originally, I wanted my brother to come forward and persuade King Ling, so there is no need to recruit him. These small forces only need the Eastern Tomb of Western Shu and Qingzhou, and that will be enough."
"Loose sand is easy to collapse, it must be because the sand is uneven."
"Brother Tang's wise words. By the way, Brother Tang said earlier that you just rushed back from the inner city?" Xu Mu began to ask tentatively, intentionally or unintentionally.
The birth of the Tang family has always made him feel very strange. Normally, a literary and Confucian family only needs to survive the troubled times before it can usher in a new round of revival opportunities.
But the Tang family went against the grain and wanted to be like warriors and fight for the world. If one person is not good enough, the entire family will be wiped out.
"Exactly." Tang Wuyuan sighed, "To be honest with the King of Shu, I don't know why my brother Tang Yiyuan... was born to become the king and gather an army. I guess he was bewitched by the King of Lingzhou."
"Brother Tang, you really dare to say these words."
Tang Wuyuan shook his head seriously, "I still say the same thing, Brother Xu, King of Shu, is the mantle of the young Marquis. I believe in the young Marquis's vision. I entered the inner city earlier... because I wanted to serve the King of Yuzhou."
Xu Mu was startled and said, "Submit yourself to the King of Yuzhou?"
"My brother's rebellion is inevitable. Therefore, I thought of using myself as a link to vassal the power of the King of Yuzhou so that the Qingzhou family can survive."
When saying this, Tang Wuyuan obviously lowered his voice.
Xu Mu suddenly didn't understand why Tang Wuyuan would tell him everything about such things. You know, no matter Xishu or Qingzhou, after the alliance, they must worship Zuo Shiren as the leader of the alliance.
"The king of Yuzhou is fighting in Hebei, and the big families in the inner city don't like me or the Tang family in Qingzhou. The Changyang Sifang shut them all down behind closed doors and even threw out the salutations. So, I just If you can, come to Kezhou first to participate in the alliance."
"What the King of Shu doesn't know is that I am actually a person with small ambitions. My biggest thought, like that of the Huang family, is to preserve the Tang family. I only hope that my brother can wake up early, relinquish the throne and return to Qingzhou. Tangjiazu Town."
Xu Mu laughed, "In these troubled times, everyone has their own way of living. Brother Ling, it's just for the prosperity of the family."
"I hope there will be no harm." Tang Wuyuan lamented again, "After the alliance, I will think of some ways to send the invitation to the King of Yuzhou, Hebei. Under the current situation, if we want to save the Tang family, we can only vassalize one party. Great power. It’s a pity that Western Shu is too far away, otherwise, it would be the shadow of my Tang family.”
"Brother Tang is joking. Si Hu, give Brother Tang a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
"Brother Mu, why don't you pour it yourself?"
"hand pain."
Si Hu muttered, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Xu Mu and Tang Wuyuan.
"Thank you, King Shu, thank you so much for this tiger warrior." Tang Wuyuan smiled and bowed to express his thanks.
"If we can successfully defeat the false emperor during this alliance, it will be considered a blessing."
"Brother Tang is talented in both civil and military affairs. In the battle against rebellion, we must rely on Brother Tang."
Tang Wuyuan spoke humbly, "King Shu, don't make fun of me. I know that in Muyun State, Mr. Dongfang, the aide of King Shu, is known as the sixth strategist in the world, with unparalleled strategies. If there is a chance, I would like to join Muyun even more." I will visit the state in person. When the time comes, I hope that the King of Shu will not refuse me thousands of miles away like the noble families in the inner city."
"Sweep the couch and wait." Xu Mu answered calmly.
"This couldn't be better." Tang Wuyuan stood up and bowed twice to Xu Mu and then to Si Hu. After that, he turned around and left.
"Brother Mu, that man is very polite. He even bowed to me, so I poured him tea in vain."
Xu Mu didn't say anything. He just picked up the tea cup, poured himself a cup of tea, held it up and drank it slowly.
"Brother Mu, doesn't your hand hurt?"
"It just got better again."
Holding the tea cup, Xu Mu suddenly frowned, looked at Tang Wuyuan's back, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
