Ju Mao, as the former general of Wuguo, even if he retired from the border army, the treatment was not bad, a big mansion in Wancheng, on weekdays, the Zongfu also sent people to send rice and grain and property every once in a while.

Especially in the past few days, because the land of the Ju clan in Jianyang was invaded by the sixth son of the emperor, the old general's mansion was about to be broken by the old clan of Jianyang.

"I know that Gou Bai that old boy is very good, and if I know that this matter is troublesome, I will throw it to Lao Tzu!"

Ju Mao, seventy years old, but he can dance dozens of pounds of big knife, even if he retreats to Wancheng, he will touch the stone lock several times a day to refine his body.

Gou Bai is the elder of the Gou clan in the Zongfu, born in Wenchen, Ju Mao thinks that he is shrewd and can see through, so he is unwilling to take over the land of the old clan of Jianyang.

But Ju Mao is different, although the Ju clan has moved the children of the clan out of Jianyang one after another, but Jianyang is the birthplace of the Ju family after all, especially in this banditry, the Ju clan people who stayed in Jianyang also died a lot, Ju Mao does not look at Zhongtian's property, but for no reason to eat a dumb loss, Ju Mao is absolutely unacceptable.

Ju Mao was picking up a large stone lock of dozens of catties, and there were many old clans standing next to him, but they looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, for fear that if they said one more word to the old general, it would be bad if they died in anger.

Ju Mao put down the stone lock, and someone from these old clans immediately stepped forward and said: "Yes, old general, the old Gou clan only wants to keep the Gou family's land and property now, but he will abandon our family and can only find the old general." ”

Ju Mao turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and asked repeatedly: "Really confiscated all the land properties of Jianyang for Lao Tzu?!" ”

"There is no way to deceive the old general!" The answer was categorical.

Ju Mao's fierce color surged and said: "The vertical son dared to plot the clan land that Lao Tzu shot down with a knife and a shot, and he really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!" ”

Then he looked at those old clans, and said without a good look: "Over the years, what you have done in Thornyang, Lao Tzu has also heard the news, when the bandits came, what did you do, Lao Tzu also knows, don't be hollowed out by the wine, and insult the bones of your ancestors!" ”

"Our old clan naturally follows the teachings of the old general, but now the foundation of the ancestors can't be kept, and the descendants can't even eat, where do they have the strength to study and practice martial arts!!" Someone from the old clan wailed.

Hearing this, Ju Mao also became angry in his heart, slapped the big slap on the stone table, and said: "This matter is to overturn the palace of King Wu, and Lao Tzu will also give you the land of the old clan back!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the old clan was overjoyed, looked at Ju Mao and said, "The old general is really a famous general from Thorn Yang!" ”

Hearing this, Ju Mao shook his beard and said viciously: "Don't give Lao Tzu a high shelf, Lao Tzu is not the old boy!" ”

Looking at the large number of people in the old clan, Ju Mao also felt upset, and suddenly said: "Lao Tzu is upset when he sees so many people, hurry up and get out of the way for Lao Tzu!" ”

The old clan wanted to say something again, but he was frightened back by Ju Mao's eyes, so he had to close the mouth he had just opened, arched his hand towards Ju Mao, and left Ju Mao's house one after another.

Ju Mao lifted the stone lock a few times, and looked at the figure in the courtyard and finally quieted, Ju Mao also muttered: "The tree is dead, the person is alive, none of the old clans in Jianyang are alive like the children of the Ju family, and the sons of the Lao Tzu Ju family are promising......"

After a while, Ju Mao raised a few more stone locks, and a doorman said: "Old general, the sixth son of the emperor has come to the mansion, and now he is outside the mansion." ”

"The sixth son of the emperor?" Ju Mao also didn't react for a while, and thought for a while: "Yu Yuan, his brother?!" ”

The doorman replied: "Yes, it is also the sixth son of the emperor who confiscated the land of the old clan in Jianyang. ”

"It turned out to be that little cub......" Hearing this, Ju Mao never expected that the sixth son of the emperor in this stall would dare to find his own door, Ju Mao asked angrily: "What did he say it for?!" ”

The doorman said: "No, I just prepared some gifts, saying that I came to visit the old general." ”

Hearing this, Ju Mao also sneered: "At this time, this little cub of his, came to find Lao Tzu, what good things can he do, bring him in, Lao Tzu wants to see what kind of ideas this old boy has turned out......

Immediately, Ju Mao instructed the doorman: "Take this little cub to the martial arts arena, gather the doormen, and see what tricks this little cub is going to play!" ”

The doorman answered, and then turned around and asked Lin Yuyan, the sixth son of the emperor, to come in.

If you want to say that Lin Yuyan this time, but it is the first time to visit the powerful, and she also expects that this trip will not be easy, according to rumors, this old general is not a good person to get along with, several short guards, thinking that he has eaten all the land of the old clan of Jianyang this time, Lin Yuyan can't think about how those old clans stand in front of Ju Mao and say themselves.

"His Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor, come in, the old general is waiting for you." The doorman on Ju Mao's Mansion greeted Lin Yuyan and the people behind him as they entered.

Entering the door of Jumao's mansion, Lin Yuyan found that the old general's mansion was poetic and empty, but the decoration was not gorgeous, on the contrary, it was still very simple, mostly rows of weapon racks, or rows of stone locks, large and small, but looking at the position where it sat is very obvious traces, it seems that this is because it often has to move the position.

"Don't you go into the hall?!" Lin Yuyan asked the doorman who led the way in front, Ju Mao's mansion was very empty, Lin Yuyan saw the location of the hall at a glance, but the doorman who led the way in front was biased, and Lin Yuyan took it all the way.

The guest of Jufu turned around and explained as he walked: "The old general has always disliked entertaining guests in the hall, and he is now waiting in the martial arts arena." ”

"Huh......?!" Lin Yuyan instantly sensed Jufu's unkindness, and entertained guests in the martial arts arena, which was clearly to give a self-defeating situation, would he be fooled, of course he wouldn't.

Lin Yuyan came up with an idea in his heart, called the doorman and said: "The old general is the pillar of the Wuguo, but this prince is the prince of the Wuguo, and the old general is understandable to be casual, but if I am abrupt, it will be disrespectful to the old general, I will still wait for the old general to return in the hall." ”

The doorman looked at Lin Yuyan and smiled, it seemed that he had insight into Lin Yuyan's thoughts, and then replied to the sixth son: "The old general's temper is not good...... Your Highness is still with me......"

"No!" Lin Yuyan directly interrupted him and said, "I led people with some gifts, it is inconvenient to go to the martial arts arena, so I still wait in the hall, Your Excellency will go and say to the old general like this." ”

Immediately, Lin Yuyan also ignored it, and led Jing Yi, Ji Wu and others behind him towards the hall.

The doorman watched the sixth son of the emperor turn around and walk to the hall, and he also flicked his sleeves, and then went in the direction of the martial arts arena.

"What! That little cub entered Lao Tzu's hall! ”

Ju Mao said loudly, I really didn't expect this little cub to be so bold, Lao Tzu asked him to come over to perform martial arts, this little cub is good, treat Lao Tzu's house as his own home, go wherever he wants, don't come to find Lao Tzu, but also Lao Tzu to find him, no way!

Ju Mao said angrily: "This little cub loves to wait in the hall, just wait in the hall!" ”

The doorman answered and waited on the side, Ju Mao glanced around, and found that there were many doormen present, all of whom were called over by Fang Cai himself, ready to see how he taught the little cub the sixth son of the emperor well, but he didn't expect to punch the cotton.

Ju Mao said loudly: "What are you doing here, don't play with the knife!" ”

Ju Mao raises doormen, not like most old clans, like to raise scribes, in Jufu to raise doormen, almost all of them are martial artists, can make swords and sticks, or can wrestle, no way, Ju Lao General is a martial artist, like to have strength.

Ju Mao first mentioned a big knife, this one imitates the weapon of the old general Ju on the battlefield, but because the old general Ju is getting older, the original big knife is gradually rusting because of the increase in age, Ju Mao is reluctant to fold this old guy, so he put it in the box and wrapped it in hay cloth, for fear of something missing, now the knife in his hand is also less in weight, although it is more gorgeous and gorgeous, but Ju Mao always feels that something is wrong.

Tiger Tiger vigorously brushed a big knife, that is, Ju Mao panted and unloaded, someone carried away his big knife, and then listened to Ju Mao said: "Old and old, but playing with a big knife, I can't play anymore, I think when Lao Tzu was young, it was this big knife, Lao Tzu cut more than a dozen Korean dogs without panting......"

It was a guest who came up to help Ju Mao, and Ju Mao also recognized his old age, but immediately raised his head and asked, "Where is the little cub?!" ”

The doorman replied, "It's still in the hall!" ”

"Humph!" Ju Mao snorted coldly, then looked in the direction of the hall and said, "Let him continue to wait in the hall, let's go, go and see the little cubs of the sect's martial arts this year." ”

"Old general, the sixth son of the emperor is the prince after all, isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this......" said a guest of the gate.

"Not suitable?!" Ju Mao asked rhetorically, and then said: "If there is anything inappropriate, let the little cub stay there, if you don't want to stay, let you come up to me!" ”

Immediately, Ju Mao called dozens of guests on the left and right, and said, "Let's go, take a look at those little cubs of the sect!" ”

The group left the martial arts arena and passed through a small road behind the mansion that led directly to the Zongfu.

In the hall, Jing Yi looked at the direction of the martial arts arena, the old general Ju Mao had no intention of coming back, and there were very few people in this mansion, so he had no intention of greeting Lin Yuyan at all.

Ji Wu was the most temperamental, looked at the outside of the hall and said directly: "Your Highness, Old General Ju is completely planning to hang us here!" ”

"Ji Wu!" Jing Yi knew that his Royal Highness didn't have much patience, and at this time, his Royal Highness must not have much patience, Ji Wu's words were like a spark, in case it ignited the anger in His Highness's heart, it would be difficult to clean up.

Jing Yi is a centurion of the Zongwei team, even Ji Wu is a centurion of the same level, Ji Wu's appearance looks more powerful than Jing Yi, but Jing Yi's words, Ji Wu also really took it to heart, so he sighed heavily, and then looked at Lin Yuyan and saw that the latter didn't speak, just sat on the ground.

Jing Yi glanced at His Royal Highness, and sure enough, Ji Wu's words made Lin Yuyan's last trace of patience gone, and he stood up directly.

Jing Yi stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, are we going back?" ”

"Go back, where are you going?!" Lin Yuyan asked rhetorically, and finally replied to himself: "Originally, I still thought that I was going to avoid this old guy, but now it's good, this old guy is avoiding me, thinking about it this way, I am also balanced!" ”

"Your Highness, this is the mansion of the old general Ju, if you hear it to him, it will not be good, the old general Ju, most of the soldiers trained in the sect's mansion are ...... who know him."

Lin Yuyan turned around and asked, "So, are you still afraid of him?!" ”

Jing Yi pressed the sword on his waist steadily, and also said: "I'm not afraid, but there is awe, besides, Your Highness, it is Your Highness that we wait for the Sect Guards to guard, once the matter of Your Highness is endangered, even if it is the Sect Mansion, we will desperately protect Your Highness." ”

Hearing Jing Yi say this, Lin Yuyan also glanced at the other sect guards in a week, Ji Wu sat on the ground and nodded emphatically, which made Lin Yuyan very moved, and then glanced at the surrounding Ju mansions, but the anger in his heart broke out faintly, and said: "It's been half an hour since I came here, and I haven't even seen them bring up tea, the huge old general's mansion, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find anything good, Jing Yi, find it for me, look for it from the boxes and cabinets, find some tea leaves, and make tea ourselves." ”

Hearing this, Ji Wu is also bold, he is straightforward, although Jing Yi did not agree, but Ji Wu heard His Royal Highness say this, Jing Yi will never object to His Highness's orders, Ji Wu also jumped up, pointed to a few people and said: "Come on, come on, hurry up and give it to me...... No, Your Highness, find out a little tea, the tea that the Zongfu gives to these sect elders every year is a good thing! ”

Lin Yuyan looked at Ji Wu's impatient appearance, and his expression was also tight, for fear that none of Ji Wu had a good search to the inner courtyard, where the female dependents of Jufu lived, and he was afraid that it would be abrupt and cause any disputes, so Lin Yuyan greeted: "Don't search the inner courtyard, just search around." ”

Ji Wu nodded, and then began to sweep with some Zongwei, there are not many boxes and cabinets in this Jufu, so all the good things around were brought to the table by Ji Wu from time to time.

Lin Yuyan looked at Ji Wu at this time, and felt that if he did something bad in the future, he must bring Ji Wu with him, he was not like Jing Yi, he had more or less his own principles, and he would not refute his own intentions to do it, but Ji Wu had a straightforward personality, and he would only listen to what he said, and would not think much about the pros and cons brought by it, such a person was just right.

"This old guy just drinks tea like this?!" Lin Yuyan looked at the tea box that Ji Wu had collected, and the tea leaves inside were all black and wrapped in a ball, and some of them were still some crumbs.

Jing Yi explained: "Your Highness, the grain and grass brought by the border army in the war are different from the Huayang army, this is called tea cake, it is an important food for the border army's march, it can be soaked in water to satisfy hunger, and the old general Ju has eaten this kind of tea cake in the border army for most of his life, and most of them are not willing to give up!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan's expression froze, but it was fleeting, and he looked at Ji Wudao: "Go to the kitchen to boil some water, and we will change the food today." ”

"Wait, Your Highness, we have found some good things this time, and we are getting people to bring them up!" Ji Wu said, just looked at the direction of the inner mansion, and sure enough, a few sect guards moved out a few large jars, Ji Wu said with a smile: "Haha, Your Highness, this is good wine, I looked at the color, absolutely not mixed with water!" ”

Ji Wu said, just took a few cups and poured a jar of wine into the bowls, Lin Yuyan also looked over, it was really good wine!

Lin Yuyan has been in contact with wine a lot during this time, Wuguo's wine is mostly village mash, this kind of wine is turbid in color, mostly beige and light yellow, and it is a bitter feeling to drink, but today Ji Wu searched for wine in Jufu, but it is as clear as clear water, especially this oncoming strong aroma of wine, even Lin Yuyan, who is not very involved in wine, also knows that this wine must be a rare high-quality wine.

"Ji Wu, come on, come on, let the chef of Jufu make a meal." Lin Yuyan also commanded.

Ji Wu touched his head and said, "Your Highness, this wine was made in the cellar of the kitchen, and I also looked at the kitchen of the Jufu by the way, and there is indeed no food ......."

"It's okay......" Lin Yuyan waved his hand and said: "We didn't come to the door empty-handed, the gifts sent to the door include dried fish from Shuyang, and game from Jianyang, isn't there also horse meat, and handed it over to the chef of Jufu for us to cook and eat for ourselves!" ”

Ji Wu was about to agree, but he heard Jing Yi say: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that Old General Ju will come back and be angry?!" ”

"Afraid of what?! I can understand now, this old guy is obviously struggling, even if he eats us, if he comes back and dares to put on a face, I will immediately take you away, with you here, I am afraid that they will stop us?! ”

When Ji Wu heard this, he replied with a smile: "Your Highness's words, I am happy to listen to them, isn't it just to borrow a place for them to eat something, if they dare to talk nonsense, I will punch one by one, and then I will fight again!" ”
