Chapter 48: A Picture of Harmony
It's been a while since they left the Open Heaven Sword Sect, and the two of them haven't spoken on the road, or Mo Xiaotian hasn't spoken, Hu Han has been chattering along the way, but Mo Xiaotian just ignored him. This made Hu Han a little crazy.
He couldn't help but think of what His Majesty the Emperor had said to him when he left the palace.
"Although you are a household servant, but you are lively, this matter must be yours, although Mo Xiaotian is the master of the peak of the peak, but after all, he is still a child who has not entered the world, you can coax him, but don't really treat him as a child, after all, the seals from the peak are not fuel-efficient lamps!"
Thinking of this, Hu Han couldn't help but take a deep look at the young man standing in front of him again, but after looking at it for a long time, he was just taller, and there was nothing special about it, not many people knew about this action alone, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has made a move, maybe this person can really bring a difference to the dynasty.
"There's the Imperial City ahead, right?"
At this time, Mo Xiaotian finally said the first sentence on the way, Hu Han paused for a moment, looked ahead, it was the imperial city of Duwu City, Hu Han hurriedly nodded and said: "Exactly, please continue to fly forward, through the long street is the palace, His Majesty the Emperor is inside!"
Mo Xiaotian nodded, didn't say anything, and then sped up again, and after a while, he came to the front of the palace hall, the guard guarding the door saw the sudden arrival of these two people, and hurriedly became vigilant, flying from the sky in the territory of Juntian, only a swordsman can do this, and the guard saw Hu Han behind Mo Xiaotian, and immediately understood, and he was not as proud as usual.
"I wonder if you two came to see Your Majesty?"
Hu Han didn't slow down in the face of the acceleration just now, until he heard the guard's question, and all the anger that he had been holding back all the way was released.
"Are you blind? Otherwise, what are we doing here, why don't we go to Your Majesty quickly!"
The guards were a little depressed, their temper was already very good, why they were still scolded, it was really unreasonable! But since Hu Han said this, he didn't say anything more, and then entered the main hall and said goodbye.
His Majesty the Emperor heard that Hu Han was back, and such an urgent matter had to be communicated, he was a little angry, and he scolded the soldier again.
"If you don't call him in quickly when you see him, you don't know what to rub in all day long!"
The guard walked out with a disgraced face, looked at Hu Han and the others even more depressedly, and then bowed respectfully and invited them in.
Hu Han felt that his face was suddenly a little bigger, he straightened up again, and walked in with his head held high, Mo Xiaotian smiled behind him and didn't say anything, and gently bowed his hand to the guards and followed Hu Han in.
Entering the main hall, Mo Xiaotian's eyes lit up, this hall was very grand, I thought that the main hall of the Open Heaven Sword Sect was big enough, but I didn't expect this hall to be even bigger than that, but Mo Xiaotian didn't look everywhere when he knew the etiquette, and when he came to the center of the main hall, he saw that there was a person wearing a dragon robe on the stage who was also looking at them.
Hu Han immediately knelt down and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty!"
At this time, Mo Xiaotian was still standing, but he arched his hand slightly: "Open Heaven Sword Sect Freedom Peak Master Mo Xiaotian to see Your Majesty!"
Hu Han was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly pulled his robe and told him to kneel down quickly, but at this time, His Majesty the Emperor smiled, "It's okay, I know that Zizai Peak has this rule." ”
Mo Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly, looked at Hu Han, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "You get up and go back first, this trip has been hard!"
Hu Han nodded hurriedly, got up and glanced at Mo Xiaotian, the two looked at each other and nodded slightly, and then Hu Han slowly retreated, came to the outside of the hall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had never seen His Majesty talking to himself with a smile, and suddenly felt a little incredible, and shivered all over his body and left quickly.
In the main hall, His Majesty the Emperor sat on the throne, looked at Mo Xiaotian with a smile, and muttered, "It's really like it!"
Mo Xiaotian was silent, still standing upright, His Majesty the Emperor may have felt that what he said was a little inappropriate, so he didn't say any more, and then changed the topic and said: "Presumably Hu Han has already told you the reason why I am looking for you." ”
Mo Xiaotian nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I already know that I am here, and since I am here, I will let Your Majesty send you." ”
His Majesty the Emperor was very satisfied, and then ordered the people around him to leave the main hall, and suddenly there were only the two of them left in the main hall, he slowly walked in front of Mo Xiaotian, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have agreed, then from now on, you are Mo Rongxuan, the son of Mo Bohan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and you still have a year to stay in the army, just right to go to exercise." ”
Mo Xiaotian nodded and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that I would join the army one day." ”
The emperor looked up to the sky and patted Mo Xiaotian's shoulder with a long smile, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, "Don't worry, in the army, I also happened to know Mo Rongxuan's past with General Tie Chou." ”
Then, His Majesty the Emperor squinted at Mo Xiaotian and said mysteriously: "The army where Tie Chou is located is the first army of the empire under my personal control, and the soldiers in it are all bloody, you have just become the peak master, you can just learn and learn, maybe you will become the general of my first army!"
Mo Xiaotian was a little big, but he didn't say anything, "What should I do after that year?"
His Majesty the Emperor paused for a moment before he said slowly: "You stay inside first, and when you come out in a year, I will talk to you in detail!"
Mo Xiaotian gave his hand in agreement, and then His Majesty the Emperor took his hand and said in a deep voice: "How far you can develop this year depends on yourself, and I can give you very little help, after all, the army talks about military merits!"
Mo Xiaotian nodded, although he had never joined the army, he still knew a little bit about it.
"By the way, hand over your Phantom World Sword, I will keep it for you, in the army, you still don't want to be too conspicuous!"
Mo Xiaotian was a little hesitant, after all, this was his own personal sword, and it was inevitable that his strength would weaken a little if he took it.
Seeing Mo Xiaotian's hesitation, His Majesty the Emperor immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Phantom World Sword originally belonged to me, and it was your master Yang Qingyun who wanted to pass over, since I can give it to him, I will naturally not deduct it and not give it to you!"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaotian was inevitably shocked, it turned out that his sword was actually asked for by his master, so since this was the case, the last bit of hesitation in his heart was put down, and after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and summoned the Phantom World Sword, he gently stroked the scabbard with some reluctance, and finally handed it to the emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but appreciate the decisiveness of this young man in his eyes, and after taking the sword, he said to him with a smile: "In order not to attract attention, I won't have a banquet with you, and Tie Chou will come to pick you up later, I believe you are also familiar with this person!"
Mo Xiaotian nodded, and then thought of the thick man with a beard on his face, and he had a good impression.
During the time of waiting for Tie Chou, the two of them kept talking about some common words, and Mo Xiaotian also felt that this emperor was also quite approachable.
"Do you know that your master Yang Qingyun once promised me a condition in order to ask for this sword?"
After His Majesty the Emperor finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at the Phantom World Sword placed on the table again, Mo Xiaotian was a little puzzled, "Conditions?"
His Majesty the Emperor saw his puzzled look, and immediately smiled and said, "He promised to do something for me back then, but I didn't think about it at that time, so I owed it." ”
Although Mo Xiaotian is not very smart, but His Majesty the Emperor said so, he naturally knew what the emperor was going to express, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, it was a mess left by the master.
"Your Majesty, since my master promised you, it counts over there, and if he is gone, then I will take it!"
His Majesty the Emperor didn't expect him to agree so happily, and suddenly Long Yan was happy, "Now you don't have the strength to agree to this condition, when you have this strength, I will tell you again!"
Mo Xiaotian nodded, he couldn't help but feel a little bad in his heart, he always felt that this matter was a little difficult to handle, since he didn't say it, he naturally didn't say anything more.
After a while, the guards outside the door hurriedly came in and reported that General Tie Chou had arrived at the gate of the main hall, and then the emperor let him in.
As soon as he entered the door, Mo Xiaotian saw that familiar face, and couldn't help but smile, Tie Chou naturally saw it too, but because the emperor was there, it was not easy to greet him.
After Tie Chou finished speaking, His Majesty the Emperor unconsciously changed his face, and said to Tie Chou in a deep voice: "This Mo Rongxuan will be handed over to you, remember what I told you!"
Tie Chou was stunned for a moment at first, then reacted and looked at Mo Xiaotian, then turned his head and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said to Mo Xiaotian: "You just follow him, I hope you don't live up to my intentions!"
Mo Xiaotian arched his hand and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"The last will retire!"
"Retire next!"
The two said goodbye in unison, His Majesty the Emperor nodded, and then the two left together!
As soon as he left the main hall, Tie Chou hammered Mo Xiaotian's chest and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, I didn't expect you to really come!"
Mo Xiaotian said helplessly: "No way, I just don't have anything to do in the sect, so I'll come over and take a trip to the troubled water!"
Tie Chou praised: "Good boy, yes, the more Lao Tzu looks at you, the more pleasing it becomes, let's go to my mansion to drink!"
Mo Xiaotian was also very happy, and then nodded happily.
Soon, it was already dark, and in a relatively remote mansion in this Duwu city, two people were feasting, drinking and drinking, and one of them was laughing wildly.
Seeing that Mo Xiaotian was still so restrained, Tie Chou was a little dissatisfied and said: "You can't do this, you are Mo Rongxuan now, Mo Rongxuan's kid used to be a good drinker, and as soon as he drank, he began to talk nonsense, and he was crazy!"
Mo Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then drained the wine in the bowl, and shouted loudly: "Happy!"
Then he looked at Tie Chou and said stunned: "Yes, is that so?"
When Tie Chou saw his actions, he immediately laughed and slapped the table, "Yes, yes, that's it! Come on, come on, drink and drink! In the future, the brothers in the army will be familiar with Mo Rongxuan, and I will tell you now how he does things......
Mo Xiaotian nodded, and took another sip of wine, this wine was crisp and refreshing, and it felt different from the wine he drank on the peak before.
And that Tie Chou didn't care what the taste of this wine was, and began to recall it by himself, and talked to Mo Xiaotian while reminiscing.
After three rounds of drinking, the things about Mo Rongxuan were roughly talked about, and Mo Xiaotian also understood Mo Rongxuan's style of doing things, and he didn't want to be indecisive in doing things by himself, but he was decisive and straightforward, and he was deeply supported by the officers and men in the army.
At this time, Mo Xiaotian had a question that came to mind, he looked at Tie Chou and asked, "General, it is impossible for the army not to know the news of Mo Rongxuan's death, right?"
Tie Chou took a sip of wine and grinned: "You don't know this, we are the first army of the dynasty, and this first army is divided into eight armies, and these eight armies contain different types of troops, and the last time I went to your Sword Sect was the Tie Family Army led by me!
Speaking of this, Tie Chou couldn't help but feel a little proud, and then said: "There is not much news in the army that knows about Mo Rongxuan's death, and I am grateful that I blocked the news in time, but just in case, I will put you in other armies and not under my jurisdiction!"
Mo Xiaotian was a little curious at this time: "Then I was transferred to that team?"
Tie Chou smiled a little evilly: "Your army is a cavalry army under the jurisdiction of another general, and this general's name is Gong Liangzheng!"
Mo Xiaotian looked at his appearance and knew that there was nothing good, so he was not interested in asking any further, picked up the bowl and touched the bowl stiffly, and went down by himself.
Tie Chou was even more depressed at this time, why didn't he ask, he couldn't continue to talk about it, so he snorted and thought Mo Xiaotian asked, slapped the table, stood up and said loudly: "Good question!"
Mo Xiaotian was startled and rolled his eyes at him.
Tie Chou didn't care about him, and said to himself: "That Gongliangzheng itself is a little bad-tempered, and he is a mortal enemy with me, but only by putting you into his army will it not arouse suspicion, and I have already arranged the rest, and I will take you over tomorrow!"
Mo Xiaotian's eyes widened angrily, and he followed him with a thick neck, slapped the table, stepped on the stool with one foot, pointed at Tie Chou and said viciously: "I damn thank you!"
Tie Chou was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table and laughed wildly, then waved his hand, raised the wine bowl, and said freely: "Thank you, it's all brothers who have anything to say in the wine, come!"
The two drank until midnight, and still did not stop, during which the two were funny and funny, and they were comparing their figures, and the picture was extremely harmonious.
