Besides, Jiuqing's side, brought Song Qi and Mu Gen into a separate meeting place, and introduced the two to each other, Mu Gen was actually very excited, the master asked him to find the senior brother met by chance, but he had been following Jiu Ye for a long time, and his temperament had become a lot calmer, so he just respectfully saluted Song Qi, called Senior Brother, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and opened it carefully, it was a well-preserved thread-bound booklet, called 'Skillful Carpenter'. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Song Qi picked it up and flipped through one or two, he was very excited, the book was a detailed explanation of the master's accumulated experience for so many years, which was absolutely priceless for their builders. Carefully wrapped, put it in his arms, and stepped forward to pat Mugen on the shoulder

"Senior brother, I will establish a skillful door to pass on the master's craftsmanship, are you willing to join me?"

Mugen looked at Song Qi, then at Jiuqing, and scratched his head

"I am the same as you, but the master is buried in the mountain behind the Nine Garden, I want to guard his old man's house, and I am used to it in the Nine Garden, and I don't want to leave. However, if the senior brother has a trust, although I went to Jiuyuan to find me, I was stupid, and the master bothered to teach, but I couldn't learn one ten-thousandth, I hope that the senior brother can understand the master's manuscript and become a generation. ”

Song Qi said with a smile

"You are too modest, the master's posthumous works circulating in the market should all be from you, right? I have studied it carefully, and it is really ingenious, and it definitely has the essence of Master. Besides, I originally wanted to ask the Ninth Master to let me settle down in the Nine Gardens and create a skillful door in a place where the master could see. ”

Saying that, looking at Jiuqing, he could see that this Jiu Ye had a sense of justice and was easy-going, not to mention that the master had a lot of connections with him, so he should not refuse. Sure enough, Jiuqing nodded lightly

"The old gentleman already has a separate yard on the mountainous land of Jiuyuan, you are his designated heir, and that yard is naturally the origin of the skillful gate."

Song Qi was happy in his heart, he was obsessed with craftsmanship all his life, and he also deeply admired the skillful hand Li, and now he was appointed as his successor, there is really no greater luck than this, and Mu Gen bowed deeply to Jiuqing together

"Xie Jiuye!"

When Jiuqing came to the meeting hall, Mu Ze and several people who looked like generals had already taken their seats.

"Jiuqing, sit here."

Mu Ze got up and looked at Jiuqing, the others had to get up, nodded perfunctorily, and after a brief introduction, Fu sat down again, a prince who had just recovered from a serious illness, and a stunned Qingjianghu boy, if it wasn't for the identity of the prince, they would not be too lazy to deal with it, this is the voice of the soldiers present, they are more willing to fight with the enemy in a real way, and they really don't like these entertainments.

Jiuqing sat down beside Mu Ze, took in their thoughts, and glanced at Mu Ze, he didn't care, but gave him a warm smile back. He knew in his heart that Mu Ze was not a busy person, he had a heart, a brain, and a great love, and these people would be subdued by him sooner or later!

"Now that they're all here, let's talk about the pirates first."

Mu Ze plucked the tea foam with the tea lid and waited for them to speak. A humane who looks like a lieutenant

"Third master, General Hong Qi will be here tomorrow, do you want to wait for the general to come over and discuss it?"

The smile on the corner of Mu Ze's mouth did not dissipate, but the glances that swept over made Zuo Yuan and the others unconsciously straighten their waists, and their hearts were awe-inspiring. Zuo Yuan immediately replied

"Third master, the deputy general is used to fighting on the battlefield and can't speak, don't be surprised, those few island attacks are like this..."

Zuo Yuan talked about the situation of the protracted war in the past few months and the crisis that had emerged, but Mu Ze did not express his position, but drank tea slowly, and occasionally exchanged opinions with Jiuqing. After Zuo Yuan finished speaking, Mu Ze looked up again, his swarthy eyes burst out with a fierce momentum, which was not at all the appearance of the sick and crooked prince in the legend.

"In the fourth battle, you said that you were aware of their intentions, why didn't you evacuate the residents of Ao'er Island as soon as possible, but instead went to sea to pursue them?"

Zuo Yuan's cold sweat came down immediately, he said so many words, but the third master found out the loophole at once, he was too sharp. This matter was his responsibility, and just as he was about to get up and confess his guilt, the deputy general and the other two soldiers immediately got up and retreated, kneeling down to Mu Ze

"The third master, they are all the last generals, they have been played by those islands so many times, and finally seized the opportunity to get rid of some of his people, so they rushed up with people desperately, and the brothers were in danger, General Zuo dissuaded, I was bent on killing those bitches, I didn't listen to the general's persuasion, please punish the third master, but this is definitely not about the general and other soldiers, please the third master to investigate!"

The other kneeling people all took the matter to themselves, and Zuo Yuan immediately knelt down and said to Mu Ze

"It's the subordinates who discipline is unfavorable, and Zuo Yuan is willing to bear all the blame, please ask the third master to surrender!"

The adjutant immediately leaned down to plead guilty, and there was a little confusion for a while. Mu Ze watched them quietly fighting for responsibility, his eyes were always very clear, until the voice gradually faded under his eyes, until he disappeared, and the surroundings were quiet, Jiuqing saw that Mu Ze was full of natural kingly momentum, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, took tea, and hid the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Killed one of their leaders and thirteen pirates, captured a pirate ship, although you were wounded, no one died, and the general also resisted the pirate raid, saved the people of Ao'er Island, and only lost some food and daily necessities, you don't think it's a mistake, but think it's a victory, don't you?"

The lieutenant general wanted to say yes very hard, although they kept Ao'er Island from being captured, but they were always in a passive state, and they were very annoyed, and the people who were able to kill the pirates that time also surrendered their ships, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. But when he heard the third master ask like this, he felt that something was really wrong, so he drooped his head and replied

"The last general will not dare!"

Mu Ze sneered

"There are two natives of Ao'er Island in the pursuing procession, and they have sealed the muzzles of the pirate ships, so that you can avoid the attack of the island's cannons and get on the ship to be strangled. Another group of island teams is very large, the deputy general took a company of people to chase the island ship, and the remaining troops have to guard the coastal ports and the safety of the residents, which is very difficult at all, and it is also an additional self-defense force to fight the enemy with you, give up their own food, and save their lives, so as to get through the crisis, yes or no? ”

When Zuo Yuan reported to the imperial court, he only said that the military and the people were concentric, and did not elaborate, but he didn't expect that the third master was far away in the capital, and he knew all about these things, and he broke out in a cold sweat at the moment, and echoed

"Yes!"

Mu Ze leaned forward, put one hand across the table, and said coldly

"Do you know that they robbed the people of half a year's food rations, and the river was closed, and it was a fishing moratorium, what did you let them eat? Do you know that the grain at the border is already tight, and it takes at least a month for the imperial court to come to the grain relief, where do you think the food you eat comes from? ”
