After Chu Jinmo bathed and changed clothes, I called Helian Rui and said to him: "You go to King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu and tell King Zuoxian that Shi Xian's father and son of the Wulin Department have rebelled!" You are clever and must speak in a proper manner. ”

Helian replied: "Don't worry, master, I will definitely complete the task." ”

Helian Rui took the order and left, went to the court of the Xiongnu king, and reported to King Zuoxian's commander of the army, saying why Shi Xian wanted to rebel.

I know very well that King Zuo Xian trusts Chu Jinmo, has a natural sense of closeness to him, and makes him an official, whatever Chu Jinmo says, King Zuo Xian believes it. Chu Jinmo now said that Shi Xian was going to rebel, so Shi Xian must be rebelling.

Sure enough, as I expected, Helian Rui came back to report to me: "The Xiongnu are ready to arrest Shi Xian and stand up for the king of Chu." ”

I also summoned the secret agent who had been planted in the Wulin Department to ask Shi Xian about his current situation.

The spy replied: "Shi Xian was frightened, saying that the king of Chu didn't know what method Lu Dao used, and he actually provoked the Xiongnu to beat him, and he didn't provoke the Xiongnu. Since you, Chu Jinmo, can send someone to pry up King Zuoxian, I can also send someone! ”

I groaned slightly: "Shi Xian also sent someone to the Xiongnu?" ”

The spy replied: "In order to show his sincerity, Shi Xian took his son and went to the court of the Xiongnu in person. ”

I sneered: "Shi Xian must have said that Chu Jinmo didn't just find King Zuo Xian to complain, and now he must go to sue the royal court in person, ** Wang Ting, beat the drum and complain." ”

The secret agent said: "That's true, Shi Xian's father and son went to find the Hun Dadanyu!" ”

I waved my hand and said, "Zhilu Dao, you continue to lurk in the Wulin Department to inquire about the news!" ”

After the spy left, Helian Rui asked me: "Master, Shi Xian went to find the Xiongnu Da Dan Yu to complain, will Da Dan Yu believe that he will not rebel and deal with Yuexi in turn?" ”

I shook my head slowly: "I don't know what to do, but even if Yi Zhixian believes that Shi Xian will not rebel, he will definitely be suspicious of him in his heart, and it will be much easier for us to deal with Shi Xian in the future!" ”

Coming to Merlin to water and loosen the soil has become my daily homework. On this day, I took Doris and Luo Qiaoer to Merlin together.

The plum tree is still a seedling, and it can't withstand the wind and rain, just like the current Baishui City, if you are not careful, you will never recover. I don't know if what I'm doing now is right, but I know that Chu Jinmo is a man of great talent, and he will definitely be able to govern Baishui City well.

"Master, you see that this tree seems to have grown a little!" Doris shouted excitedly to me holding on to a small tree.

I walked over and smiled, "It seems like I've really grown up." ”

Doris said: "The master comes to take care of them every day, and they also know how to repay their kindness, grow up quickly, and bloom quickly." ”

I smiled and said, "You are so smart, and plants and trees also have souls." ”

Luo Qiao'er said strangely: "Plants and trees also have spirits? ”

I nodded: "Someone has experimented with trees and flowers listening to music for half an hour every day, and they will grow better than ordinary plants!" ”

Luo Qiao'er didn't believe it: "How is this possible! ”

Doris pouted, as if she was dissatisfied with Luo Qiaoer's words to me: "If the master says it will be better, it will definitely be better!" ”

Luo Qiao'er lowered her head and whispered, "No! ”

"Mulan, I just know that you are here!" Chu Jinmo's voice came from behind.

I looked back at him, and the man in front of me had a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular handsomeness. Deep dark eyes with a charming glow. The thick eyebrows, the tall nose, and the beautiful lip shape all show nobility and elegance.

When Luo Qiao'er saw Chu Jinmo, her body trembled slightly, a look of admiration quickly flashed in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head to cover it. I glanced at her without a trace, turned to Chu Jinmo and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Chu Jinmo walked over, looked at Merlin and said, "You come here every day to water and loosen the soil, but I don't think I should give you this piece of Merlin, so you have to put so much effort into it!" ”

I shook my head slightly: "I like the plum tree, you don't know how beautiful it is when it blooms." The next half of the sentence was swallowed back into his stomach, "And... Huo Quzhi also likes plum blossoms. ”

Chu Jinmo said to me: "The secret agent sent back the news that Shi Xian's father and son went to the Xiongnu court to find a big order to complain. Seeing Da Dan Yu Shi Xian told the cause and effect again, Da Dan Yu listened to Shi Xian's report, and felt reasonable, why did Shi Xian go against the Huns for no reason? ”

I said, "Da Shan Yu definitely doesn't believe you saying that Shi Xian is going to rebel. ”

Chu Jinmo nodded and said, "Da Shan didn't believe that Shi Xian was plotting rebellion, and rewarded him with gold and silver treasures. However, out of King Zuoxian's natural closeness to me and his incomparable trust in me, although he rewarded Shi Xian with treasures, he still left Shi Xian himself as a hostage, and let Shi Xian's son return to the Wulin Department as the leader. ”

I said happily: "With such a toss, the Wulin Department will be in an absolute disadvantage if it competes with Baishui City in the future!" He frowned again: "It's a pity that I couldn't annex the Wulin Department!" ”

Chu Jinmo stretched out his finger to smooth my brow: "Don't frown, I like to see you laugh." ”

I avoided his fingers and said lightly: "Although the goal of annexing the Wulin Department was not achieved this time, it weakened the Wulin Department and strengthened the power of Baishui City. ”

Chu Jinmo's fingers fell in the air, and the half-sound was finally slowly put down, and he sighed: "How long do you want to hide from me?" ”

I didn't answer, and turned to look at Merlin. Chu Jinmo was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Mu Lan, no matter what, just stay by my side." ”

There was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere became awkward.

I said to him, "I asked Feng Rong to be the envoy of Tibet and accumulate wealth for Baishui City, and we can only afford to fight when we have money." ”

Chu Jin Mo praised: "This Feng Rong is a talent, his policies such as pushing grace orders, minting money, and tuntian are all policies for governing the country formulated in Yuexi, and I have discussed them with him in detail, and I am ready to implement these strategies." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Jinmo's eyes flashed: "Mu Lan, I sometimes think, why do we need to find Huo Yong?" Having a ruler like you is enough to make me grow stronger. ”

Huo Yong, the ** division of Yuexi thousands of years ago, he made Yuexi's national strength reach its peak. After his death, Yuexi was divided into several small tribes, and only Baishui City retained the Yuexi Chu family. But is he really Huo Quai?

"After a thousand years, Chang'an, the southern country, I will definitely return with a sword." Will this last word he left behind come true?

Chu Jinmo's kung fu of riding and archery is very good, this is practiced on a horse, and he has a hobby like ordinary nobles, that is, hunting.

On this day, Chu Jinmo took me and a group of guards out to hunt. At this time, it is already autumn, the blue sky is white and white, and the land is golden.

Chu Jinmo was in high spirits, riding a white horse galloping like a white lightning, he turned around and said to me with a smile: "Mulan, are you happy?" ”

The autumn fields are golden, as if a golden carpet has been laid on the earth. The gentle autumn breeze caresses the earth, and the vast fields stretch as far as the eye can see.

The ripe rice in the field, full of grains, heavy, danced with the wind, wafting with an intoxicating fragrance, churning with rolling golden waves, like a brilliant color scattered on the field.

The yellow and clear grain was so upright that it could not stand up by the ears of grain, but it still swayed vigorously with the wind, as if it was singing a hymn to the golden field.

I looked at the alluring golden yellow and was relieved that when the crops were ripe, the people would be able to eat their stomachs. The people are full, and the sale of children and daughters will no longer happen, let alone rebel! Thinking of this, I nodded and said, "I'm happy!" ”

Chu Jinmo didn't know what I was thinking, thinking that I was happy because I came out to hunt, he slowed down and rode his horse to my side, "If you like it, we will come often in the future." ”

I was about to answer, when I suddenly saw a group of people rushing out in front of me, rampage with horses' hooves, and actually rode directly into the field. My face changed and I exclaimed, "Who are you!" ”

My voice was too low for the group to hear, still trampling in the ripe fields. I was suddenly angry and shouted, "Don't trample on the crops!" ”

Chu Jinmo had never seen me speak so harshly, so he was stunned, and immediately reacted, and said to the guards, "You go over to stop them." ”

The guards received the order, beat their horses and whipped away, and said something to the other party, but they returned in vain. came back and reported to Chu Jinmo: "That's the Tuoba Zhen leader of the Pumin tribe. ”

I looked up and saw the leader coming towards us, dressed in an inky satin robe with silver openwork hibiscus trimming. He wears a jade belt around his waist and holds a horsewhip with a white jade handle. His chin was slightly raised, and in the middle of his apricot-shaped eyes, there was the brilliant sparkle of a galaxy.

When he saw Chu Jinmo, he smiled and said, "King Chu is so interested, are you also here to hunt?" ”

Chu Jinmo said lightly: "Tuoba Zhen, why do you connive at your subordinates to trample on the crops? ”

Tuoba Zhen was stunned, and then smiled: "I was chasing the prey, and the prey escaped here." It's just some crops, and if it's gone, it's enough to plant it, so why bother! ”

I shook my head lightly and said, "You're wrong! ”

Tuoba really looked at me, "Who is this?" ”

I said, "I'm just an ordinary person. The crops are just ripe, and the wild beasts have fled into the fields, and you send men on horseback to fetch them, and when you catch the prey, there is not much left of the crops. The fruits of the people's hard work for a year are gone, how do you tell them to survive! Is the prey more valuable than the lives of the people? ”

Tuoba Zhen still had a smile on his face, but the whip in his hand was raised high and waved at me, and the whip fell into the air, entangled in another whip. Chu Jinmo didn't have any expression on his face, and said lightly: "Tuoba Zhen, her words are my words!" ”

A look of surprise flashed in Tuoba Zhen's eyes, he took the whip and said stupidly: "That's a misunderstanding, since that's the case, I'll take my leave!" ”

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and led his men away, and he looked back at me on his horse, his expression smiling rather than smiling.

After he left, Chu Jinmo said to me: "This person is Tuoba Zhen, the leader of the Pumin Tribe, and the Pumin Tribe, a small tribe in the west of Yue. He paused and said, "Mulan, I didn't expect you to like hunting. ”

I shook my head, looked at the trampled crops, and said bitterly, "I also like hunting, and I like the feeling of galloping on horseback." But when the hunt has exhausted the mothers, the young animals will not survive the winter, and the people will not be able to hunt prey. The crops are trampled down, what will the people eat? If you can't eat enough, how can you talk about peace and mind? ”

Chu Jinmo's body was shocked, and he looked at me blankly, and I continued: "The Xiongnu nobles love hunting, and they also set up an eagle road for Haidongqing for hunting. Indulging eagle dogs in hunting is harmful. ”

Chu Jinmo followed my gaze to look at the golden fields, nodded and said, "You are right, these crops are the lifeblood of the people, and I will never hunt again from now on!" ”

I gave him an encouraging smile: "Wouldn't it be better to set up a paddock and invite the tribal leader to hunt once a year, which can not only enhance the relationship, but also hunt?" ”

Chu Jinmo followed my advice and set up a paddock in the west of Yuexi, never going out to hunt again, and asked his subordinates not to trample on the crops. After the implementation of this move, the people praised it again and again, and even made up nursery rhymes to praise Chu Jinmo.
