Chapter 60: Pampered and Proud
Chapter 60 Pampering and Arrogance
The journey from Chaoge to Tongshan will take at least six or seven hours even if the king leaves the horse quickly.
Originally, Wang Xu thought that they would only come back in the afternoon.
But unexpectedly, before lunch, Wang Li came with a large number of troops.
And not only the roe deer cart that brought Mo Ren, but also Mo Ding's fifty male slaves and Mo Lian's one hundred fire phoenix departments, all of them were wearing wooden armor, long knives at their waists, and carrying military shovels behind their backs, standard dress for war.
"What? Someone is attacking? Wang Xu was shocked to see them dressed up like this, and asked in a deep voice.
Mo Lian, who was dressed in light armor, jumped down from a roe deer in a heroic manner, his little face wrapped in armor was indifferent, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Xu with his lips pursed and did not say a word.
The other fighters in the back also knelt down and said nothing.
Wang Xu took a breath of cold air, and his voice trembled slightly, "Is there really an accident?" ”
"If the emperor doesn't return overnight, the sky of the Lonely Bamboo Country will fall, is there anything bigger than this?" Mo Lian's voice was loud, but a trace of crying could still be heard.
Wang Xu let out a sigh of relief, touched his chin embarrassedly, and bent down to help Mo Lian up, but found that although this girl was thin, her stubbornness was not small at all.
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The ministers will accept the emperor's return to the court." Mo said stubbornly.
There is a big one, Wang Xu didn't agree, so she wasn't ready to get up and play tricks.
Wang Xu couldn't help but smile dumbly, glanced at Wang Li, who was smiling playfully, and waved his hand, "Then you guys just kneel." ”
Mo Lian was stunned, stared at Wang Xu with wide eyes, and then his eyes quickly turned red, and the grievance of tears rolling around his eyes was very pitiful.
Wang Xu was unmoved, and knocked on Mo Lian's bright silver iron helmet, "Tu Shan Lady can refine iron into bright silver, and her skills are really extraordinary." ”
Mo Lian's small mouth moved, sniffed aggrievedly, biting her lip and glaring at Wang Xu stubbornly.
Yu Chun and the people of the Yu clan also stopped working, and they all looked at this side curiously, but everyone's eyes were full of envy, although there was no mulberry hemp in the Lonely Bamboo Country, but a large number of animal skins, and the clothes made with the Central Plains Yiyi technology would be more gorgeous, especially the clothes sewn with leopard lynx mink skin or bear skin and snake skin, which was very eye-catching.
The clothes worn by the male slaves at the bottom of the Lone Bamboo Country were better than the highest-status Linhu people Yu Chun had ever seen.
"Fortunately, you are not stupid, there are still Mo Kui and Tu Shan Lady left in the city." Wang Xu glanced at the clansmen kneeling in front of him, and chuckled, "You are not ready to get up?" ”
Mo Ding and Mo Ren glanced at each other, ignoring Mo Lian's knife-like gaze, and stood up with a smile, "Let's just say that the Great Emperor is a god descended from heaven, and we don't need to worry about it at all." ”
"You two wait for me!" Mo Lian's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he squeezed these words out of his teeth.
Wang Xu didn't return overnight and frightened Mo Lian, but Mo Kui and they all thought that Wang Xu was fine, but due to Mo Lian's threat, they began to put on armor and start looking along the way before dawn, and when they didn't find Wang Xu and their traces in the wetland, Mo Ren and they were really startled, but they were not too anxious.
But they were mad and mad, and if they hadn't happened to meet the king returning from them, Mo Lian would probably have kicked these two heartless fellows into the wetland to feed the birds.
On the way here, they also discussed, and begged with a dead face to bring Wang Xu back, and he couldn't let him be in danger.
This is standard female thinking, and Mo Ren and these men have more respect for Wang Xu in addition to spiritual worship and trust, and an emperor is willing to do it himself for the sake of his people, which is undoubtedly the most touching to them.
At the instigation of Mo Ren and Mo Ding, everyone hesitated to stand up in turn, and in the end, only two people were still kneeling, one was Mo Lian, and the other was Qing Niang.
Wang Xu arranged work for Mo Ren, asked him to lead people to follow Tu Tan to dig a horse pit, prepare to catch a wave of moose alive, and asked Mo Ding to take the women of the Fire Phoenix tribe to communicate with the people of the Yu clan and start a fire to cook.
After explaining the matter, Wang Xu looked at Mo Lian, who was still stubbornly kneeling in place, his shoulders twitching and crying, sighed and walked over, squatted in front of her, and took off her iron helmet.
A few strands of hair were also brought down, and they were messily attached to Mo Lian's cheeks, adding a delicate touch to her already pitiful little face.
Wang Xu chuckled and cupped her face, wiping the tears on her face with her thumb, "You behave like this, do you want to force the palace?" ”
was held by Wang Xu's face, so that Mo Lian's cheeks unconsciously began to fever, burning until his brain was blank, and he looked at Wang Xu in a daze, "What is forcing the palace?" ”
Mo Lian's crying nasal voice was very soft and cute, and Wang Xu's hands shook when he heard it.
"It's just that I spoil you, pamper and threaten me." Wang Xu's voice also became soft unconsciously.
Mo Lian's pupils shrank, and he bent down to kowtow, "The minister has no such intention!" ”
Wang Xu held her up, didn't let her succeed, and chuckled, "Of course I know that you are worried about my safety, but if I really obey you, where is the majesty of the emperor?" ”
Mo Lian's originally red little face suddenly turned pale, and her expression began to panic.
"In the future, you will be the Situ who will rule over all the peoples, and the sacrifices of all the people are in you, how you set an example, it will affect everyone, and you must not be so impulsive again." Wang Xu gently helped Mo Lian tidy up her appearance, and said softly, "Remember, if I am not here, you will have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the clan, and you must not live up to my expectations of you." ”
Mo Lian's pupils began to tremble violently, and he subconsciously grabbed Wang Xu's arm, "The Great Emperor is not..."
"Okay, Qingniang, take Situ to rest for a while." Wang Xu interrupted Mo Lian's words and said to the young lady behind.
After the young lady bowed, she took Mo Lian from Wang Xu's hand and walked in the direction of the shade of the tree.
"It is not unreasonable for women in the past generations to be embarrassed by their great responsibilities." Wang Li's chuckle came from behind: "If you don't know what to do, it's easy to get into big trouble." ”
Wang Xu turned his head to look at Wang Li, "Do you know who is the saddest person after you leave home?" ”
Wang Li was stunned, and a smile froze on his face.
"There are many major events in the world, and for your mother, how the Qin State is in the world has nothing to do with her, because you are her big event." Wang Xu stared at Wang Li with deep eyes.
Wang Li subconsciously avoided it.
"A woman's rule may seem a little willful, but this is nature, but if you think about it carefully, if you lose this gentle spirit, is it really better to rule?" Wang Xu chuckled.
"Hmph." Wang Li snorted lightly, "Then do you think it's better?" If you are not found, who will bear the losses caused to the Lone Bamboo Country by losing the army? ”
"This question is meaningless, think about it until now, have you ever regretted leaving Xianyang?" Wang Xu sneered.
Wang Li was stunned again, and pursed his lips silently, "It's boring." ”
"Then find something interesting to do." Wang Xu shook his head, "I want to build a city here, so the surrounding small tribes must be subdued, and you can also find the barbarians hiding in the mountains and forests." ”
"Build a city here? Are you sure? Wang Li frowned.
"The cost of round-trip transportation is too high, and the time is too late, so it is better to build a city on the spot, and the place where Tu Tan and them went is a wetland with abundant water and grass, which is suitable for building a city." Wang Xu said with a smile.
"Effortlessly, give me a hundred iron horses, and I'll bring you the entire forest and beard." Wang Li rolled his eyes.
"There's going to be a chance." Wang Xu smiled mysteriously, turned over on his horse, and looked back at Mo Lian's direction.
Seeing that Wang Xu was leaving, Mo Lian subconsciously wanted to stand up, but after thinking about it, he stood in place again, watching Wang Xu and Wang Li leave the horse and leave the south.
"The master is right to do that." Qing Niang said softly in the back, "The emperor has a lot of trust in you, you should think about it more." ”
Mo Lian frowned slightly, her expression gradually became indifferent, and her thin lips pursed into a line, "You also think that my decision is wrong?" ”
"The master is heartfelt for the emperor's comfort, and his mind is visible." Qing Niang bowed and said.
"Hmph, I don't want the gods to be visible, I just want him to know." Mo Lian snorted lightly, her eyes became resolute, and she walked towards the group of women and children of the Yu family, she wanted to absorb these women and children in the fastest time.
..........
By the time Wang Xu and Wang Li arrived at the wetland, Tu Tan and the others had already dug a ten-meter-long and two-meter-long trench.
"These are the treasures of the future, and if I break my leg, I will die of distress." Mo Ren squatted on the branch of the tree, his eyes greedy, and stared at the moose resting by the lake in the distance with a perverted expression.
That expression was like a virgin who had been single for thirty years, seeing a naked goddess.
"No male moose found?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.
"Not yet, it's all female." Mo Ren jumped down from the tree and "roughly counted, there were more than sixty adult moose, nearly a hundred young deer, and the tallest was no more than four feet. ”
"There may be more in the distance, but we can't see it, so we have to ask Daliangzao to use clairvoyance to see." Tu Tan also smiled.
"Small." Wang Li smiled, climbed the branch with agility, and looked around with a telescope, "There are some red deer and other creatures in the distance, it seems that there are no moose anymore, but there are quite a few of them, and it takes a little effort to expel them all." ”
"There are more than sixty does, and their combat effectiveness is not necessarily worse than that of male deer." Wang Xu glanced at Mo Ren and said with a smile: "Especially the doe with cubs, her personality is even more hot. ”
"I discussed with Tu Tan, the soldiers were divided into two ways, he went to attract the attention of the doe, I took people to catch the fawn, and then used the fawn as bait to lure the doe into the pit." Mo Ren said confidently.
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? That's a good sound. ”
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment." Mo Renhan said with a smile.
"I don't know why this fool suddenly opened his mind to think of such a scheme." Tu Tan also smiled.
"I thought you had the idea." Wang Li said in surprise.
"I came up with it myself." Mo Ren straightened his waist proudly, "Yesterday I saw a male roe deer in the roe deer group, taking advantage of the deer fighting with another roe deer, after mating with other female roe deer. ”
Wang Xu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he didn't expect Mo Ren to have the skill of drawing inferences.
"And this kind of operation? And then the head deer was not found? Wang Li's focus is elsewhere.
"I found it." Mo Ren's face was calm: "So the male roe deer was hit by a deer and killed." ”
After speaking, Mo Ren also patted Tu Tan's shoulder, "Another inspiration for this story is that after getting on the doe, you have to run quickly, otherwise it will be miserable to be caught by the head deer." ”
Tu Tan sneered and pulled out an inch of the sheath.
