"Liu Chen, Liu Pingde has met Xu Zaifu." After dismounting, Liu Chen was not rude and bowed seriously in the direction of Xu Mu.
"Xu Zaifu." Xu Mu also dismounted, his face unchanged, "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that I was once a Zaifu."
"Of course you don't remember. In your heart, you only think about the position of emperor and the dignity of the Ninth Five-Year Plan." In the wind, Liu Chen bowed and raised his head without giving in.
"How do you say this?" Xu Mu was not angry, but instead gave in and allowed Liu Chen to continue speaking.
"May I ask Xu Zaifu, where do you write the word loyalty and righteousness?"
"What is loyalty and what is righteousness?"
"Loyalty to the country and justice to the world."
"so what."
"So, when Xu Zaifu entered Shu, when he conquered all thirteen counties of Shuzhou, when he conquered the south of the Yangtze River, when he became king, when he was half-fighting, did he ever think about the word loyalty and righteousness?" Liu Chen's face darkened, His eyes were extremely cold.
"You must be a little unconvinced." Xu Mu raised his hand and pointed at Liu Chen, who was puffing up.
"You must be wondering why Marquis Yuan chose me as a small boss with a background in wine making, but he didn't choose you, a scholar who is known to be talented, loyal and righteous to save the country."
"Xu Zaifu was wrong." Liu Chen smiled, "I am just aggrieved for Mr. Yuan. The trust is not human."
"No, you are jealous of me."
"Hahaha!" Liu Chen raised his head and laughed, his laughter suddenly a little wild, and even Shen Tuguan next to him was suddenly startled.
"You can't walk the path I'm taking." Xu Mu also laughed, "In the final analysis, you just read a few more books of sages than me, but you think that by relying on these, you can restore the entire dynasty to its original state. If that were the case, Lord Yuan would have done it long ago."
"You gave up before you even tried."
"How do you know I haven't tried? If you go to Changyang and ask, you will know what kind of person I, Xu Mu, am. Let me tell you something, at least 30% of the people in the inner city have no respect for me, Xu Mu. I admire you from the bottom of my heart.”
During the war with Beiyu Lizhou, it was precisely because of this factor that many refugees dragged their families into Dawan Pass and became Shu people.
"Xu Zaifu, you are just trying to take credit for the big event."
"Application of credit? Who am I asking for credit from? Lord Yuan? Let me tell you one more thing. I, Xu Mu, am already Lord Yuan's clan brother. If you don't believe it——"
"Shut up!" Liu Chen suddenly became angry and clenched his fists, "You, Xu Mu, are worthy of mentioning Lord Yuan. In the final analysis, you just stole the great righteousness of Lord Yuan and became a big deal and became the king of Shu!"
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes, completely understanding in his heart. As he thought, Liu Chen in front of him was jealous after all. Jealous of his ways and the support given to him by Marquis Yuan.
It would be strange for such a person not to oppose him.
"Xu Mu, the greatest justice in the world is to bring order out of chaos, like Lord Yuan. Instead of abandoning the court and going to Shu to become a big rebel like you."
Xu Mu paused, answered the question, raised his hand and pointed.
"Liu Chen, you are dreaming about your mother's Spring and Autumn Period! It's okay for a poor scholar to say something that is as beautiful as a thousand bells and millet. You know nothing. The theories of sages and the salvation of the country that you rely on, I will tell you. It’s an ugly sentence, but in the eyes of Lord Yuan, it’s just a piece of shit!”
"Shut up—" Liu Chen's eyes glared, and his figure swayed in the wind.
"If you are a man, then defeat me on the battlefield and then implement your theory of national salvation." Xu Mu sneered. Deep in his heart, there was still a glimmer of expectation to meet old friends. But now it seems that Liu Chen in front of him is no longer worth talking about.
"You were born into poverty, and you feel that you are a proud plum in the snow, and a lotus that emerges from the mud but remains unstained. Because of this, the Marquis thinks highly of you. In fact, you can't even hold a knife firmly. , let alone calming down the troubled times. As for the Marquis’s entrustment, I don’t want to talk to you——”
Xu Mu raised his face and laughed again.
"After all, you, Liu Chen, are in my heart and you are not even qualified to let me pour tea."
"Xu Mu the dog thief!"
"Grandpa is here." Xu Mu turned around calmly and stopped looking at each other. It's a pity that this time it was originally intended to be a provocation, but now it seems that it is clearly useless.
But no matter what, he feels very happy now.
"One day, the world will know that I, Liu Chen and Liu Pingde, are the ones who will inherit the legacy of Lord Yuan!"
"Liu Chen, you are only one-third of your ability, why don't you resign and go back to your hometown to be a private school teacher, and you can make a living. Next time we meet again, if you point at me and scold me, I will really kill you."
"You have little ability, and you want to gain the reputation of Lord Yuan. The Lord doesn't like the aristocratic family, but you have become the broken back dog of the aristocratic family. I, Xu Mu, have never seen such a shameless person."
"Brother Mu, I haven't seen him before either. It's so shameless. It's like going to the Qing Dynasty to get money on credit overnight." Si Hu came out and responded seriously.
"Dog thief, Xu, Xu——"
Liu Chen raised his head, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards.
"Military advisor!" Shen Tuguan was shocked, got off his horse in a hurry, and helped Liu Chen up.
"General Shentu, Xishu and Beiyu have already negotiated peace. You have seen it, but I have not taken any action. Your Military Advisor Liu is weak, but he insists on arguing with me. He is so angry that he is angry when he looks at me. "
Liu Chen, whose face was pale, felt another surge of anger on his face when he heard this sentence. He turned his head and was stunned.
Shen Tu Guan calmed down his expression, and after calling the military doctor, he was silent for a while before nodding.
"King Shu, if nothing happens, please leave my territory in Beiyu."
"Of course, it smells sour here."
Shen Tu Guan gritted his teeth, but did not curse after all. He snorted coldly, got on his horse again, and lined up to wait.
Xu Mu got back on his horse and looked at the sky above his head. By chance, it was already dusk.
"What can I do if it's dark? I, Xu Mu, have to camp overnight in such a rotten place."
After just saying that, Xu Mu didn't stop any longer. With a happy face, he ordered Chao Yi to lead the troops and prepare to meet Xiaowu Fu on the river bank.
…
"General Shentu, the Shu people have left."
"This general can see it." Shen Tuguan looked away and sighed heavily.
"Shen Chong, you lead two thousand people to patrol along the river bank tonight. Don't fall into the wrong ways of King Xu Shu."
"General, don't worry."
Shen Tu Guan turned around and glanced at the still sleeping Liu Chen behind him, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
"Everyone knows that you should not fight with that King Xu Shu... He seems to have never lost. Military Master Liu, this calculation is wrong."
