Yeongcheon-gun.

On the official road.

A caravan moved forward slowly, escorting a lot of goods to the left and right, there were twenty or thirty donkey carts and carriages, and there were many escorts, about fifty or sixty people, these guards were uniformly dressed, black suits, and embroidered with a flower on their chests, black mandala flowers.

In the middle of the caravan there was a more luxurious carriage, which was forced with the caravan.

In the carriage, there were three people.

The two are playing, and one is recuperating with his eyes closed.

"Hey, hey, you're losing again!"

The middle-aged scholar held the white son, and after having a son, he looked at the young man who was playing against him, and said proudly.

"Don't get too complacent!"

Mu Jing was very depressed, put down the sunspot in his hand that couldn't go down, and said through gritted teeth.

To say that he also played Go in the previous life, the game of black and white is also a skill for him, I thought I could pretend to be thirteen, but when I met Jiang Lu, a chess master, it was him who was defeated.

"Playing chess is about your thoughts, your thoughts are too mixed!" Jiang Lu**'s neat mustache with a neat jaw trimmed said.

"Humph!"

Mu Jing snorted coldly and said, "Another plate!" ”

"Come then!"

The two continued to play against each other.

Zhang Huo, who was sitting next to him with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said, "Someone is approaching in front!" ”

Zhang Ning pleaded and persecuted in desperation, he had no choice but to be wronged, as Mu Jing's bodyguard, escorting him north to Luoyang City, accompanied by a big master like him, Mu Jing was a little confident.

"How many?"

Mu Jing put down the chess pieces, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Yingchuan's road is really not smooth, from the north and south of Ru, they have encountered robbers four or five times, if it weren't for the strength of the guards around him, I am afraid they would have been robbed.

"The sound of horses' hooves, it's normal, ordinary thieves don't have such riding skills, they should be officers and soldiers!"

Zhang Huo closed his eyes, felt his thoughts, and said in a low voice.

"The caravan ahead stops immediately!"

Outside, as the sound of horses' hooves approached, several soldiers with loud voices were barking.

"This official, what's the matter?"

The person in charge of the caravan, Huo Yu, the secretary of the personal guard who dealt with big and small matters beside Mu Jing, stepped forward, showed a smiling face, and asked a little humbly.

"Where did you come from, do you have customs clearance paperwork!"

Dozens of cavalrymen surrounded the caravan, and the leader of the caravan came forward to interrogate him with a large gun in his hand.

"Official, we are from Nanyang Wuyin, it is the caravan of Jingping Commercial Bank, transport some cloth to Luoyang, this is a customs clearance document, and please raise your noble hand!"

Huo Yu stepped forward, and while making a move, he secretly took out a gold ingot and handed it to the cavalry general led by him.

The cavalry general weighed the gold ingots in his hand, and then saw that they were indeed some cloth, so he waved his hand and let the caravan pass.

on the carriage.

Mu Jing and Jiang Lu looked out of the small window, shook their heads one after another, and Mu Jing said: "It's them again, this Yingchuan Taishou doesn't care!" ”

"The Han Dynasty is rotten to the bones!"

Jiang Lu was a little disappointed.

This group of cavalry should be the cavalry among the soldiers of Yingchuan County, and they set up a pass in front of them, and gave a toll, a full two ingots of gold cakes, before they could pass by, and now there is also an interrogation, which is nothing more than seeing a lot of goods in the caravan, and then exploiting them again.

"The upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked!"

Mu Jing didn't care very much: "When today's son used to buy and sell official positions in the West Garden, how could the people below not follow suit!" ”

Emperor Ling once was in the West Garden in order to prepare funds, and the matter of selling officials had already been spread, and there were examples for everyone to follow, so it was common to buy and sell official positions between places, and those who sold official positions naturally had to get back some costs, so naturally there were these things.

"Didn't you also go to buy an official this time?" Jiang Ludao.

"I'm not buying an official, I'm going to buy a background!"

Mu Jing said indifferently.

What is Mushan's biggest shortcoming now, is his background, he was born in the Yellow Turban, he is destined to become a target, in the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban is a crime, a crime that can make people fatal, no matter how much credit he makes, he will not die well in the end.

So they need one to be a birth, and this birth can only be given today.

After two days of travel, the caravan left Yingchuan and entered Guanzhong.

"Childe, it's Zhongmu in front, are we going to the city?" Huo Yu asked outside the carriage.

"Forget it!"

Mu Jing and Jiang Lu played against each other for a day, and even lost the battle, and he was not interested in continuing the game, he put down the chess pieces, and then said to the outside of the carriage: "Find a place to camp outside the city, it is still too ostentatious to enter the city, this trip needs to be low-key!" ”

"No!"

Huo Yu took the order, and then instructed Huo Shao and them to find a place to camp nearby, these guards are all Mu Jing's personal guards, each of them is a soldier who has been killed on the battlefield, and half of the thieves of the white people can't help them, so they are not afraid to camp outside the city.

In the evening, they found a plain beach by the river and set up camp on the spot.

"Huo San, Huo Yu, you take people to guard left and right, take turns to change the guard, be careful, don't be careless, when you go out, if the son is in his hands, the sons of Jingping Camp can eat us, you know?" Huo Shao, as the commander of the guard, his martial arts are not the strongest, and his ability to arrange troops is not very great, but he has a strength, he is better than being cautious, and people who hunt all year round will deploy their emotions in the state of the mountains at any time and maintain the most vigilant attitude.

"No!"

The two of them each led ten men to guard the surroundings.

"Huo Shao!"

"Childe!"

"I see there's a forest over there, I'm going to hunt prey, my mouth has been tingling lately, and I'll have dinner tonight!" Mu Jing said instructed.

"No!"

Huo Shao took the order and left.

Born as a hunter, he was really a good hunter, and just after dark, he came back with two pheasants and a rabbit.

"Lao Jiang, you have a good mouth today!"

Mu Jing prefers the taste of barbecue, so he has also learned one or two hands, dealing with the little rabbit is very handy, two or three times it is completed, and then added up to roast, but unfortunately there are not too many condiments in this era, otherwise the taste should be more fragrant, he quickly roasted the rabbit: "Mu's barbecue, unique in the world, try it!" ”

"The gentleman is far away from cooking, and the trail is also!"

Jiang Lu was very popular, and while rushing to eat, he also fiddled with his bones, and let him eat the two rabbit legs, and he was also crooked, which made Mu Jing want to beat him a little.

"It tastes good!"

Soon Zhang Huo joined the battle group, he was a master of martial arts, and as soon as he intervened, there was basically nothing to do with Mu Jing.

"Shameless!"

Mu Jing is so angry, but he can't afford to offend a big Buddha, so he can only wash another pheasant and continue the barbecue business.

"Childe, catch a person, this person is sneakily wandering outside our camp!"

In the light of the bonfire, Huo Shao walked up and said.

"Bring it up and take a look!"

Mujing Road.

"Bring people up!" Huo Shao shouted to the back, and two soldiers, one left and one right, walked over with a white-robed young man.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

This white-robed young man is only in his early twenties, the clothes he wears are plain white and clean, he is a Confucian robe, his hair is tied in a bun on his head, it should be a crown salute, and the left and right arms are lifted, quite painful: "I'm not a spy, I'm just a passing ranger, you light!" ”

"It seems to be a scholar, you guys let it go first!"

Jiang Lu glanced at it, waved his hand and said.

"No!"

A few soldiers let go and stepped back two.

"Who are you, and why are you visiting my caravan?" Mu Jing looked at this person's demeanor, not like a thief, but a well-mannered talent, he asked.

"Is this a caravan?"

The young man in white moved his muscles, sat down with a big grin, sat on the stone directly opposite Mujing, pouted, and said: "The palm-sized beach, dozens of you, but each of them is a marching posture, and the resting place is also arranged in the way of the marching formation, there is cover, this side is a breakthrough, the cover is very good, the left and right depend on each other, the three talents of heaven, earth and man are symphonic, if there are thieves coming to the enemy, even if there are hundreds of thieves, it is difficult to raid, this is still a caravan, you lie to the ghost!" ”

His words made Huo Shao feel a chill inexplicably, and his hands inadvertently rested on the hilt of the knife, and his tiger eyes were cold, staring at this white-robed young man deadly.

"Good eyesight!"

Jiang Lu clapped his hands and said, "It seems that I have not only read some military books, but also watched some army formations, so I can react so quickly!" ”

"Huh!"

After fiddling with it for a while, the young man in white looked at the roast chicken in Mu Jing's hand and salivated: "I was a study tour scholar in the next place, and I wanted to go to the city, but it was too dark to enter the city, so I could only deal with it in the wild for a night, the dry food was just finished, my stomach was too hungry, I smelled the fragrance, I came uninvited, please forgive me!" ”

"Out of the way!" Jiang Lu had also traveled all over the world in the past, increased his knowledge, and knew the pain of useless scholars traveling abroad, he smiled and said: "It's fun to have friends from afar!" ”

"Wait!"

Mu Jing stopped, and he said with a smile: "You are a scholar!" ”

"Of course!" The young man in white said proudly.

"Zi said, the gentleman doesn't eat the food that comes to him, if I eat it to you today, wouldn't it be a charity to Brother Tai, so it is a contempt for Brother Tai, how can I do it!" He's just too bored to have some fun.

"I can buy it for money!"

The young man in white was stunned for a moment and said.

"Then wouldn't I just become a businessman, how to deal with myself!" Pastoral scenery is in a dilemma.

"What do you want, brother!" The young man in white can see that if he wants to eat roast chicken today, he has to put in some effort.

"You can play chess!"

"I know a little bit about it!"

"If you can win him, this roast chicken will be yours tonight!" Mu Jingxin just wanted revenge, so he caught a scholar and pulled him up, and he couldn't let Jiang Lu be too arrogant.

"That's true!" The young man in white was fearless.

"Of course!"

Mu Jing said lightly: "People in the world can testify, and I Mu Longtu is a promise!" ”

"Good!"

The young man in white said: "Play chess!" ”

Jiang Lu was a little helpless, this Mu Long Tu is too careful, didn't he win dozens of games of chess, why do you hold a grudge against you so much.

Still, he laid out the chessboard.

He had to let Mu Longtu know that his chess skills were not something that ordinary people could win.

Black and white staggered, a quarter of an hour's time.

Jiang Lu is defeated!

"Can I eat roast chicken?" The young man in white has coveted the golden roast chicken in Mu Jing's hands for a long time.

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jing laughed heartily: "It's all yours!" ”

"Thank you!"

The young man in white was really hungry, and after a day's journey, he didn't have a grain of rice in his stomach, can he not be hungry, he began to compete with the roast chicken in his hand.

"Lao Jiang, don't be arrogant this time!" Mu Jing fell into the well and hit someone.

"Interlocking and connected, it is enough to show the secret of this person's mind, and I am far from it!"

Jiang Lu ignored Mu Jing's falling stones, and kept looking at the chessboard, the situation where the black man was defeated by the white son, and he sighed a little in his heart.

"In Xia Lingling Jiang Road, I don't know the name of Brother Tai!" Jiang Lu made a gentleman's courtesy, and as a scholar, he bowed down and asked.

"Yingchuan Xilong!"

The young man in white waved his hand, saluted in return, and then reported his name.
