Bianliang, the Imperial Palace, the Vertical Arch Palace.

A small court meeting is underway.

Zan Jurun, who sent to Jiangling, finally persuaded Gao Baorong to accept the arrangement of the imperial court and change the town to Haizhou, but this was Gao Baorong's own choice to give up Qingxu Dazhou and protect himself.

Guo Ronglong Yan Dayue, named him the king of the East China Sea, the envoy of the Anlan Festival, and the Taishi.

"Zan Qing is worthy of being called the old lady's uncle, this errand is well done, no less than the merit of 100,000 elite soldiers to capture the city."

Zan Jurun successfully completed the task of the court, and the mood was also very good, and he replied immediately: "The reputation of the saint, the minister is ashamed to be ashamed, the minister's trip to Jiangling is just to tell the truth, thanks to the saint's martial arts, Weijia Hainei, this is smooth." But...... The minister doesn't know when the minister has the nickname of 'old uncle', and the minister is less than fifty, how can he be called old. ”

The monarchs and ministers in the palace all laughed, and Guo Rong smiled: "It was Fan Xiang who said that you are anxious for justice and righteousness, love to help people the most, and are used to persuading people with bitter words, isn't it just an 'old lady', with an old lady like you sitting in Kaifeng Mansion, it is the most appropriate." ”

Zan Jurun knew that the burden was on his shoulders, and quickly got up and thanked him.

"All the prefectures and states in the world, only the two capitals are the most difficult to settle down, but with the talent of the Qing, it is enough to win, but unfortunately, you can't go to Kaifeng Mansion to receive the seal at the moment, you have to go to Jiangling again."

Guo Rong saw that Zan Jurun was about to get up again, so he waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and continued: "Things have changed, Gao Baorong must complete the handover before the end of June, and don't bother the two guests, you work hard again, bring five thousand taels of silver, and say that I want to buy time." ”

"The minister's decree, but what is it that needs to be handed over urgently?"

Guo Rong gestured to Wang Pu with his eyes, and Wang Pu handed Zan Jurun a letter of folding, and said with a smile: "The two monkeys in the northwest are restless, thinking about competing with Xiang Xun for the first merit of attacking Shu. The south road is commanded by Xiang Xun, marching from the Gangneung waterway, and attacking from the north and south. ”

Zan Jurun took a cursory look at the fold, got up again, and saluted solemnly: "The minister will not be dishonored." ”

……

"Cao Muxing is not dishonored."

Cao Bin left, and Cao Mu returned.

Qin Yue looked at the guy in front of him who was in tatters and had many wounds all over his body, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu wants you to inquire about it, who asked you to go to Longtan and show me if you want to die." ”

Cao Mu looked at Qin Yue, who was jumping violently, and after receiving this scolding, his whole body was comfortable, he pursed his dry lips and said, "It's okay, just raise it for a few days." ”

Cao Mu declined Qin Yue's offer to help inspect the wound and went back to his residence by himself.

Qin Yue looked at his slightly sluggish pace, only to feel like a lone wolf injured.

In fact, he still can't figure out why the difference between this person is so big, first he sternly refused, and then reluctantly accepted the work of the guards under the persuasion of the spear, but he could only say that he got along indifferently. At that time, he asked him to go back to Shuzhong to find out the news, to be honest, it can only be said that he gave it a try, but now why is he fighting for his life?

An hour later, Zhuang Sheng, who was ordered to help Cao Mu clean his body and apply medicine, came back to report that there were eleven wounds on his body, including knife wounds, gunshot wounds, fall wounds, and three porcupine thorns on his buttocks......

Qin Yue burst into a foul language, got up and found the tiger bone medicine wine that An Guoyan had respected, and asked Zhuang Sheng to send it, saying that it was not too late to report the matter a few days late, and it was not in a hurry, and he would talk about it after recovering from his injuries.

Cao Mu really slept for a day and a night, and when he got up in the evening of the next day, his spirit was weaker than when he first returned, and he knew that it was because the tight string on his body was loose, so he washed his head and face with water and came to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue was drawing in the study, and when he saw him coming, he nodded and said, "Can you drink?" ”

"Yes."

Qin Yue asked Zhuang Sheng to call Jia Yin and Hua Gun to come over and drink together, Cao Mu had a cold temperament, and now these two people were a little at odds with him.

Jia Yin was sloppy, and as soon as he came in, he shouted: "Bad wood, I heard that you went to the tiger's den in Longtan, hurry up and listen to it." ”

Under Jiayin's jokes, Cao Mu drank a few glasses of wine and began to tell what happened:

"A certain stayed in Fengzhou, and the information of the people on the road is spiritual, so a certain went openly, all the way back to Langzhong, and met Longzhou Ba Sanshi in Xingzhou, this is a lone traveler, to a certain set of words, and then someone chased after him, invited a certain to go to the village as a guest."

Hua Gun asked: "Chopping wood?" ”

"It's a wood-chopping village, there are five or six hundred people in the village, it turns out that these people and horses are hidden in the valley, and there is no mystery."

Cao Mu shallow most of the wine in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "This is all the people and horses, at first in Shuzhong to ensure the safety of the place, in the name of conquest, the truth of recruitment, originally planned to be sent to all parts of the Middle Zhou to make trouble, but a leper monk found the overall planning of this matter Yi Shen Zheng, and settled the people and horses in the horseshoe valley near the left side of the Qingniling, and called for another advocate, don't prepare wine and meat, for enjoyment, just wait for the opportunity." ”

"Most of these people are outlaws, there are Jianghu people, there are fugitive slaves, there are barbarians, there is wine today and drunk today, which is the most temperament for them, except for a small number of people at the head."

"The leader's surname is Tu Mingchengtang, who was originally the number one person on the Golden Bull Road, and he is a person from all over the world and quite able to convince the public. There is another Marquis surnamed Hang Mingpei, but he is a Confucian student, and there is an offering, which is a monk with a square face and big ears, and his legal name is true. ”

"However, it seems that it has nothing to do with the worshippers of Maitreya in Fengzhou."

Qin Yue raised his eyebrows in surprise, raised his bowl and said while drinking. This chopping wood, a few days ago, the military conference was mentioned, but Wang Yanchao didn't care, Cao Bin didn't care, Jianghu guests are good at fighting alone, but when they get together, they are not as good as a battalion of winning troops, it is really one person for the dragon and a group for the insects.

Qin Yue smiled on his face, and the big stone in his heart fell for another three points, it's just right that you don't care.

Cao Mu continued: "Although there are thirty or forty wine and meat monks in the valley, and they are all sacrificial monks who escaped from the surrounding realm to pierce their ears and nails, they act very differently from the monks here, and they are in groups of three or five, each of them in a gang. ”

Jia Yin couldn't help it and asked, "Then how did you get this injury?" ”

"Because I heard another private matter."

Cao Mu's face turned red, he took the bowl to hide his color, and drank it dry in one go, so he was embarrassed to say the reason for the injury:

But it turned out that Cao Mu stayed in the village for three or five days, and he was conspicuous when he was clean, and he didn't dare to drink more wine for fear of making a mistake, so Cao Mu hit the idea on the woman.

Like the man's title, the women in the village are also divided into three, six, nine and so on according to their appearance, Cao Mudong turned around and turned west, and finally targeted a servant girl named Jinu, the maid is not bad, but her complexion is dark, and her face is freckles.

Cao Mu accidentally found that when the monk Dingzhen walked into the Yuting Spring boudoir with two pretty maids in his arms, the slave's face showed envy, and his heart moved, ugly girls also have beautiful yearnings. So taking advantage of the moonlight, after a few strokes, the warm fragrance fell into my arms, and then my body and mind were comfortable, and the news was there.

But this slave is in the prime of youth, in the valley, all he sees is spring, all he hears is the sound of the sound, he is afraid of the power of Dingzhen, no one dares to come to provoke the people around Yu Tingchun, but this slave is not in the eyes of Dingzhen, on weekdays is the object of ridicule of the sisters, at first glance when she met the resolute and strong Cao Mu, and she is young and cold, she is happy and her heart trembled, afterwards, for fear that Tan Lang will leave her, so she will show her tongue, and she is determined to keep this lovely person.

Qin Yue saw that Jia Yin's saliva was about to flow out, and he knocked the chopsticks on his head angrily, and the sound of "pop" broke Jia Yin's thoughts, Jia Yin rubbed his brain, and asked in a stack: "Then, how did she show off her tongue, what did you hear?" ”
