In the summer of the twenty-third year of Emperor Guangyan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial army centered on Qicheng and the self-reliant Ziqing army in Yizhou fought for the first time in Yongcheng at the middle of the two cities. The imperial army has 60,000 troops, and the general is General Hu Yanhao, who has countless military achievements and is a first-class duke. The Ziqing army was led by Situ Mu, the king of the Qing Dynasty, and the number was only half of the imperial army. After three days and three nights of bloody fighting, the Qing army defeated the imperial army with less. Hu Yanhao was defeated and fled, and after returning to Beijing, he collapsed and asked to return to his hometown. Situ Bi was furious and ordered the imperial army to regroup, continuously expand the size of the army, and denounce Situ Mu at all costs.

And Tianmen Pass Yizhou, because of the victory in the first battle, was outnumbered, and the morale was exceptionally high. In the house where Yizhou Shoujiang Mu went first, the atmosphere was also very lively. Since Situ Mu came to Yizhou, Mufu has also become a place for him to set up camp. Although the wooden mansion is simple and the food and clothing are very simple, Situ Mu lives very comfortably.

This time Situ Mu rebelled, Situ Bi was afraid that he never dreamed that Mu Xianxing would defect to the "rebels". The Mu family is a family of generals, guarding the Tianmen Pass for generations, and there have been countless generals. The Mu family has always been honest, loves the people like children, and is also very popular with the people. Mu Xianxing is a man of few words, upright, because of his straightforward and straightforward temper, he is not liked by Situ Bi. However, Situ Bi trusted him very much, and felt that such a lump of wood would not make any waves. But Situ Bi never thought that Mu Xian could be said to be invincible in this life, but there was only one weakness, and that was his wife. Mrs. Mu's real surname is Nangong, and she is the clansman of the Nangong family who married into the mortal world. More than 20 years ago, Madame Mu left Tianshui Lake to travel around. Acquaintance with Mu Xian in Yizhou. The two fell in love at first sight, and since then Mrs. Mu has stayed in Yizhou, and thus escaped the catastrophe of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. Han Xi learned about Mrs. Mu through the death of Litian, so he lobbied with Tang Bujing. Mrs. Mu hated the Situ family very much, and Mu Xianxing was also very dissatisfied with Situ Bi's disregard for the people and his constant admonitions. Han Xi is the young master of the Nangong clan, and Mrs. Mu naturally obeys. And Mu Xianxing admired Tang Bujing's talent very much, so he agreed with Situ Mu's ability to use people to recognize people, so he decided to help.

In the wooden mansion, Situ Mu rarely drank happily. Since coming to Yizhou. Fear of drinking and making mistakes. Situ Mu can be said to be not a drop of alcohol and very self-disciplined. But I'm happy today, and I don't have so many worries. A round table sat around Situ Mu. They were all people who were pivotal to this battle. Mu Xian and Mrs. Mu sat on the left side of Situ Mu. The two seem to be very affectionate. Wood has a square face. The eyebrows and eyes are heroic, and the facial features are full of righteousness and awe-inspiring. Although Mrs. Mu is over forty years old, she is a mother of three children. But he still has charm and is kind to people. On the right side of Situ Mu is Tang Bu Surprise and Han Xi. Tang Bu was surprised by the brocade robe and jade belt, and he looked like a handsome son who had no quarrel with the world. No one can associate the lazy and luxurious him with the "victorious military advisor" who is strategizing and knowing things like a god on the battlefield. Han Xi was dressed in a silver-white suit, her long hair stood up high, and she was heroic, like a tiger girl. In addition to the four of them, there were some young generals sitting down the next seat.

When the delicacies were served, Situ Mu poured himself a glass of wine, then raised his glass and stood up, and said to everyone: "Everyone, this great victory over the imperial army depends on the bloody killing of the enemy by the generals and all the soldiers. Mu established himself as a king, had no roots and no foundation, could not promise anything, and let everyone bear the infamy of the rebels. But you are still giving up your family and your business to support me wholeheartedly, and you may give your life for our uprising at any time. For this, the pastor is grateful! A glass of turbid wine, talk about your heart! Muslim all the brothers who work hard for the country and the family, cheers! ”

"Cheers!"

Most of the people here are young people who are strong in blood and eager to make contributions with the Ming Lord, they all have great ambitions, but they are not reused in Situ Bi's court, and they are depressed. At this moment, after listening to Situ Mu's humble and sincere words, they were all enthusiastic and responded.

Situ Mu's eyes were shining, and his expression was quite excited. He raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and wiped his mouth heroically, without a trace of the previous decadence. Everyone saw that the prince of the golden branches and jade leaves was so easy-going, and they all felt a little closer. Starting from Mu Xian, everyone toasted Situ Mu one after another. After a few rounds, all of them were red-faced and red-eared, and they were drunk.

The men were in the mood for drinking, and they drank heartily. Madame Mu was a little tired, and pulled the cold tide to the yard to blow the wind. The night breeze was as cool as a promise, and the occasional insect chirping came. Hanxi and Lady Wood walked slowly on the winding corridor, feeling the tranquility of the summer night.

"Young Master," Mrs. Mu suddenly stopped, looked back at the cold tide, and asked, "Have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to live when this is over?" ”

"En......" Han Xi thought for a moment and replied, "If I leave my uncle and they can help me take care of everything in the clan, I would really like to walk around and live an unrestrained life." ”

Mrs. Mu listened to her words, pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Then in the young master's mouth, in such a life, can Tang Gongzi exist?" ”

The cold tide stagnated, and the white face turned red: "Aunt Fang, you are making fun of me!" ”

"What's the joke?" Mrs. Mu smiled, but her tone was extremely serious, "In my opinion, this Tang Gongzi is a good couple who is difficult to pick in thousands of miles, and he is wholeheartedly devoted to the young master." Isn't he going to be in the life of the young master? ”

"Naturally, there is." Hanxi said a little shyly, "He was very good to me, and he paid too much for me." Although I yearn for a carefree life, if he needs me to be restrained in the future, I am willing to be bound by him. ”

"The young master and Tang Gongzi can know each other and support each other, and Aunt Fang will be relieved." Madam Mu was very pleased, "Because of Situ Xi's thief, it is unfair to you that the young master has borne a lot of burdens at a young age. Aunt Fang only hopes that in the future, you can do whatever you want and live the life you want. ”

After chatting with Hanxi for a long time, the wooden lady returned to his room. She pushed the door open and found that Mu Xianxing had returned to rest.

"First, why did you come back early?" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mu had already returned to her room and asked curiously, "Is the feast in the front hall over?" ”

"It's still going on," Mu Xianxing replied as he stroked his forehead, "they're all young people, and they have a good amount of alcohol and enough spirits!" I couldn't hold it anymore, so I made an excuse to flee early. ”

Mrs. Mu smiled, turned around and picked up the teapot from the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over: "Oh, drink some water." On weekdays, you always feel young, but today you know that it's not okay to be old, right? ”

Mu Xianxian's face was flushed due to drunkenness. Hearing his wife say this, he smiled a little embarrassedly, changed the topic, and asked, "Xun Fang, what have you talked about with Miss Nangong, and you have been talking for so long?" ”

"The woman's family," Mrs. Mu sat down beside Mu Xianxing and asked her husband, "Xianxian, what do you think of Tang Gongzi?" ”

"Tang Gongzi is really a rare talent!" When Mu Xianxing heard that he was going to talk about Tang Buxing, he immediately came to his senses, "When he first came to Yizhou, I just thought that he was a noble son who was well-dressed and pampered, at most he was just eloquent and a lobbyist. But after getting along with each other for a while, I found out that he has the style of a famous general and a talent for governing the world. This time, he was able to defeat the imperial army with fewer victories, thanks to the magic method of Tang Gongzi's surprise attack. Now, he has helped His Royal Highness the King of Ziqing to reduce the levy near Tianmen Pass, distribute food and clothing to the poor people, etc., which has greatly consolidated the people's hearts. I heard that the people in other places know about the new policies we are implementing here, and they are eager to follow the king of Ziqing and live a good life. In this way, since the Qing Dynasty has become a generation of virtuous monarchs in the hearts of the people. As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and in this regard, compared with today's saints, the king of Ziqing has succeeded. ”

Mrs. Mu nodded: "It seems that you are very optimistic about Tang Gongzi." With your recognition, I am also relieved. ”

"Madam, this is looking for an aunt for Miss Nangong, right?" Mu Xianxing looked at his wife's rare serious look and said with a smile, "They are indeed a good couple, and they are very compatible." If it weren't for this, I would have really liked to marry our frosty girl to Tang Gongzi, hahaha......"

When Mrs. Mu heard this, she glanced at Bai Mu first, and said angrily: "It's getting more and more unpleasant." That girl is crazy, and you treat her as a baby! ”

"Our daughter, that's naturally my baby!" Mu Xianxing smiled and took his wife's hand and put it in his wide palm, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely help King Ziqing win the victory and help you and Miss Nangong take revenge." (To be continued.) )
