The old man saw that Song Ruoyu was very alert, his eyes rolled, and he said to Song Ruoyu: "My lord, are you Mr. Panlong?" ”

This Xue Changshan was very surprised when he heard this person directly tell the identity of Mr. by name, and then his face showed fierceness, and he immediately pulled forward and asked, "Who are you and what is the purpose of coming here?" He thought that this person was just an ordinary cloth person, and thought that he was just going the wrong way, but he didn't think that this person was good, as if he was deliberately trying to get close to Mr., which could not help but make him suspicious.

When the man saw that Xue Changshan was so nervous, he actually laughed, and said to this Xue Changshan with an unchanged face: "You little doll, when I walked the rivers and lakes, your mother hadn't given birth to you yet, what kind of Royal Forest Army general in this hall didn't understand the rules at all?" Don't know how to respect the old and love the young? In the end, this person actually smiled slyly at Song Ruoyu.

Song Ruoyu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and was sure that this person must not be an ordinary mountain man, and he was estimated to be older when he looked at what he said, so he said respectfully: "Old man, what are you looking for?" ”

As soon as this person saw Song Ruoyu being so polite, he turned his head and shouted to Xue Changshan: "See, your husband is so knowledgeable, you kid still dare to ask the old man rudely, hey, hey, hey, what a rough boy." This old Taoist said that it was the best, and he seemed to be very disgusted, and snorted at this Xue Changshan.

When Xue Changshan saw this old man's appearance, he almost fell off his horse out of breath.

Song Ruoyu thought that this old way was very interesting, seeing that Xue Changshan might really be about to get angry, he gestured to this Xue Changshan and pressed it down with his hand, this Xue Changshan knew that this was Mr. signaling his peace of mind, he was a dignified general of the Imperial Forest Army, and the official of the third rank did not need to be as knowledgeable as this old man, so he did not say anything.

As soon as this old Taoist saw this Xue Changshan like this, he was appeased by Song Ruoyu, and immediately had no interest, pursed his lips, and then turned his head to Song Ruoyu and said, "It's boring, it's boring, I still want to have fun with this little doll." ”

Song Ruoyu calmed down, smiled and whispered to the old man: "It's Mr. Panlong below, I don't know what the old man wants to find below?" Although Xue Changshan next to him stopped talking, his eyes were still staring at this old way, for fear that he would do something harmful to Mr., which was very vigilant.

Lao Dao didn't look at this Xue Changshan, stared at this Song Ruoyu tightly with a pair of small eyes, and said: "I have a question, I don't know if the adults can answer for the grass people." ”

Song Ruoyu saw that this person called himself a grass citizen, and knew that he didn't want to tell them his identity, although he was curious, but he also knew that he couldn't act recklessly, so he asked: "I don't know what the old man wants to find here, if he knows, he will definitely answer for the old man." ”

At this time, it is early in the morning, and in the mountains, the sky is full of clouds and mist, the frost and dew in the forest are falling in the morning, and the air reveals an aggressive cold, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Grass and trees into a forest, at a glance, it is like a rippling green ocean, when the wind rises, the green waves roll and surge, when the wind stops, it is quiet, the heaven and earth seem to have no color, silent.

This old Taoist seemed to have suddenly become serious, first silent for a while, listening to the "swish" sound made by the wind blowing the woods between the mountains and forests, and then said to Song Ruoyu: "Dare to ask the foot, everyone in the world calls the foot "coiling dragon", so did the foot ever think that he would become a "holy dragon" one day?" ”

Not to mention Song Ruoyu's reaction, Xue Changshan alone, after hearing this, suddenly stared at this old way, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Bold! As a cloth cloth, he dared to slander the officials of the DPRK and China, according to the law, he should be beheaded! After saying this, he waited for Song Ruoyu to speak, as long as Song Ruoyu spoke, he would definitely jump off the horse and go straight forward to kill this person.

In fact, in the entire Jin Kingdom, this matter has always been something that people keep silent about and have to think about in their hearts. Song Ruoyu has been an official for many years, and he has been promoted from a petty official to the head of the court, in charge of national affairs, which is really a status under one person and above ten thousand people, and his prestige in the court is very high, and all officials are impressed by the name of Panlong, not to mention ordinary people. So this matter has always been in people's hearts, but no one dared to say it, and he never thought that an old Taoist would say it directly, which made Xue Changshan feel both surprised and angry, on the one hand, he was angry that this old Taoist said this, but on the other hand, he wanted to hear how Mr. would answer this question, after all, this is also a puzzle in the hearts of many Jin officials and people.

I saw that this Song Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "I don't know why the old man said this, but I can tell the old man that for my Dajin below, it is a world of Danxin that can be learned, and the name of Panlong is just Your Majesty's joke, it can't be true, it can't be true." After saying this, Song Ruoyu was calm, and panicked, maybe he also knew in his heart that this was a question shared by the whole Jin Kingdom, and now, he answered this answer to Lao Dao, Xue Changshan, and even more to the great rivers and mountains of the Jin Kingdom, and the people of Dawn.

Xue Changshan knew that Mr. had been conscientious since he was an official, and he had never said anything false, so he breathed a sigh of relief, although he thought in his heart that Mr. would not be like this, but saying it would still make him believe it more.

This old man bowed his head and was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and then slowly got up and said to this Song Ruoyu: "Then ask the next thing, can you know the matter of the "Black Tiger" at the next step?" ”

Song Ruoyu was a little surprised, although this "black tiger" incident was not an important matter, but it made the entire Wei State boil at the beginning, and the whole dynasty knew about it, even if he was in the Jin Kingdom, he also understood this matter.

If you want to talk about this "black tiger", you have to start with the Great Wei, the Great Wei is located in the center of the entire land of China, ranking in the middle of the Eight Kingdoms, different from the Jin State and the Liang State so heavy on literature and light on military force, the Great Wei since the founding of the country, it began to implement the policy of reckless military force, the Wei Emperor issued a "strong military order", this strong military order is good, but in essence it is a disguised means of conscription. Public brawls, duels are allowed and irresponsible are allowed; Killing is not an offence, but it is required that the guilty person is killed and that there is evidence; He also ordered the people to hunt or capture those rare beasts, birds of prey, and fierce animals throughout the country, and as long as they succeeded, they could directly become officials in the court with the carcasses of animals. For a time, the Wei State was in an uproar, and the scholars of the world, whether it was the scholars or the Hanmen, strongly criticized this barbaric behavior, and even the ministers of the court and the central government stood up to criticize the behavior of the King of Wei, but without exception, they were punished by the King of Wei. If the scholars objected, they would kill the scholars who opposed the decree on a large scale; If the minister objected, he would demote the official, confiscate the army, or behead him. Emperor Wei relied on his tough methods and style to make the military strength of Wei strong in just a few years, but there were also a series of shortcomings that followed.

This "black tiger" thing, that is, the western border area of the Wei country Ya County perennial black tiger all the year round, often infested the mountains and forests to kill the people, the Wei Emperor heard about this and then in the people specially convened the tiger hunting team to hunt and kill, but what is astonishing is that these people all died tragically under the mouth of this tiger without exception, for a while the whole country was in an uproar, the people living around there have moved away or fled, for a time the villages and towns around Ya County almost became empty villages and empty towns. The Wei Emperor gave him a headache, because Yaxian is located in the west, which is an extremely important strategic and military point of Wei, and Yaxian can reach Hangu Pass, which is the front-line strategic place of the Qin State, so if all the residents of Yaxian County flee and move away, it will be a huge strategic loss for Wei.

Song Ruoyu was a little puzzled, if he was still more patient just now, he also felt a little strange now, this old way talked about this "black tiger" thing I don't know what the purpose is, but I just think that this old way should not be like making fun of him, so he said slowly: "This black tiger matter, I have heard of it, it is said that King Wei has been worried about this matter for a long time, but isn't this matter solved?" ”

Lao Dao glanced at Song Ruoyu in astonishment, and then sighed helplessly: "I didn't expect Mr. Panlong's news to come so quickly, indeed, this matter has been solved a few days ago, just a tiger, it is impossible for King Wei to send troops to encircle and suppress, so he had to release the recruitment list to the whole country again, everyone feels that this matter is too difficult, after all, this black tiger is extremely vicious, and even a team of dozens of people can't hunt it, let alone ordinary individuals." ”

Song Ruo was silent, knowing that this old way still had something to say, so he quietly looked at this old way, waiting for his next words.

Lao Dao paused, and when he saw that Song Ruoyu didn't react, he continued: "It's just that one day there was a farmer Mao Sui who recommended himself, saying that he had a way to get rid of this black tiger, but Emperor Wei saw that he was only one person, but he didn't believe it. The farmer was not discouraged, but continued to explain to the Emperor Wei, who was skeptical, but had no one else available, so he had to agree to this. ”

When Lao Dao said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was going to say a very wonderful scene, only to see this Lao Dao breathe a sigh of relief, and he was very excited and said: "I didn't think that just a few days ago, this farmer actually went back with a black tiger skin and a bloody tiger head, this time Emperor Wei was surprised, Emperor Wei didn't believe it, and sent someone to check whether it was true, and it turned out that there was indeed no trace of a tiger in the mountains and forests of this Ya County, following the guidance of this farmer, They also found the remains of the victims, their bones, and their belongings, which further proved the authenticity of the farmer who hunted the black tiger alone. Emperor Wei was overjoyed, so he wanted to reward this person heavily, but this person shirked several times, saying that if he wanted to reward, he would reward this black tiger skin immediately, and Emperor Wei saw this, so he had to give up, so he rewarded this person with a black tiger skin. Hey, you don't think this guy is weird. Don't want gold, silver, jewelry, glory and riches, but just a tiger skin. After finishing speaking, the old man looked at Song Ruoyu with a smile.

Seeing this, Song Ruoyu couldn't help but bow his head and ponder for a while, and suddenly thought that the emperor still had to summon him, so he arched his hand and said apologetically to the old man: "Old man, there is really something important to do in the next place, and if there is a fate another day, you can talk to the old man again in the next day." Also, the old man should leave quickly, if the other officials find out that you went to the holy mountain without permission, I am afraid that you will have to suffer some hardships. After speaking, he no longer waited for the old man to reply, so he greeted Xue Changshan, and the two of them rode to the bottom of the mountain quickly.

When this old man saw this appearance, he suddenly laughed out loud in this mountain, and the laughter was enough to alarm this piece of mountains and forests, this strange field.

Let's say that this Song Ruoyu also raised the corners of his mouth when he heard laughter behind him, and laughed slightly.

Xue Changshan was puzzled, so he asked Song Ruoyu: "Why is Mr. laughing, who is this old man, does Mr. know?" ”

I saw that this Song Ruoyu slowly slowed down the speed of the horse, but finally stopped, pulled the horse and turned his head to look at the vaguely visible figure in the distance, as if he was out of his mind, silent, after a long time, he muttered to Xue Changshan: "Changshan, the Jin Kingdom is still in internal and external troubles, you and I, we still have to work hard." ”

Xue Changshan looked at Mr. with a smile, and then turned his head to look at the figure in the distance, only to feel as if there would be some terrible story between these two people in the future, as if everything was already doomed......
