For two days in a row, the young men practiced and healed in the governor's palace. It was only a little more than a month before the Yingwu test, and the three of Liu Dongzhi supervised the five teenagers very strictly, and even Wu Di, who was full of confidence, was firmly pressed by Yu Jiangtao in the study to read and read the scriptures, and he had not left the house for two days.

In the early morning two days later, Qianxiong and Hu Shaofeng, the head of the Champion Dao March, and others returned to Dingjun. When the teenagers saw Qianxiong, they were happy and lively again. Qianxiong was not very embarrassed after listening to everyone's experience, and he was really happy that everyone returned safely.

After the meal, Liu Dongzhi urged Lu Zijing and Liu Sanzhi to hurry up and recuperate, and set out to return to the capital Xing'an three days later, that is, on the second day of October.

Three days later, Liu Dong set off for Xing'an. Except for Liu Sanzhi, Wu Di's four teenagers all rode forward. Wu Di couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw more than ten carts behind everyone, and caught up with Liu Dongzhi and asked, "Brother Dongzhi, what are the more than ten carts in the back?" Liu Dongzhi said with a calm face: "What is on the car is not anything, it is extremely important to us! You will know in the future, don't ask now." ”

Liu Dongzhi turned his head to Zhang Zhongqun behind him and said: "Zhongqun, take care of the big car behind, and don't have a half-point difference." If you bump into it, watch out for your dog's head. Zhang Zhongqun, the captain of the moving battalion, answered, and went back to the back to supervise. Wu Di didn't know why, and shook his head suspiciously.

Out of Dingjun City, get on the boat at Weishui Ferry. The huge building boat went southwest along the quietly flowing mighty water. Gradually, the towering Xiduan Mountains in the north became farther and farther away, and the wide plains on both sides were full of piles of wheat stacks. It's another year of ripening!

Fishing boats are shuttling across the river, and fishermen are busy fishing at the best time of the morning. Seeing the flags fluttering on the official boat, a burst of exclamations came: "Great marshal, it is the moving general!" The fishing boats on the river avoided one after another, and the fishermen and military households on the shore and on the boat knelt down and saluted one after another. Liu Dongzhi stood on the bow of the ship and frequently returned the salute with his fists.

When Mu Qingyu and Rong Cheng first came to Daying, they were amazed to see such a scene of joy and joy of the people. Especially Rongcheng, thinking of the officials and nobles who had seen them in Rongcheng County in the past, the commoners and slaves were not trembling, how many times had they saluted so sincerely? And where did the nobles return the salute like Liu Dongzhi? Rongcheng's admiration for Liu Dongzhi could not help but increase a little more.

Qianxiong smiled on the side: "Senior brother, in our big shadow, you are so majestic everywhere you go. Little brother, I also have a lot of face with you. Having said that, after you go back this time, you have to talk to your teacher and uncle anyway, and let me enlist in the army. Sixth Senior Brother promised me!" Qianxiong also called Su Wu a teacher in front of Liu Dongzhi and others, but called his own master uncle.

Liu Dongzhi instructed Captain Zhang Dequn to pass the order not to let the people on all sides kneel down, and then turned around and smiled at Qianxiong: "Since your sixth senior brother has promised, what else do I have to say? After I go back, I will invite Master Wu and ask him to arrange for you to serve in front of your third brother Yu's army!"

"No, I'm going to set the army, I'm going to move the battalion. Chio said urgently. "You kid looks down on me?" said Yu Jiangtao angrily.

Qianxiong said aggrievedly: "How many of the people who came out of the shadow army have not stayed in the camp of moving? Why do I have to go elsewhere when I get there? Third Senior Brother, you say!" "I... You... Yu Jiangtao was speechless for a while.

Liu Dongzhi said with a smile: "Don't you want to fight? My big shadow signed a contract with the Zhongzhou Alliance, I'm afraid there won't be any war in the Dingjun in the past two years, are you going to be idle in the Dingjun?" "I... No matter what, I must be in the precession camp!" Chio said angrily.

Liu Dongzhi looked at this little junior brother who was loved by the seventh son of the shadow army, and finally couldn't bear to brush his mind, and said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about this matter later, don't worry!" Yu Jiangtao said with a hippie smile on the side: "I have a way, not only can Xiaoxiong enter the camp of the movement, but also let him catch up with the battle!" Qianxiong said happily: "Third senior brother, what way, say it quickly!"

Without waiting for Yu Jiangtao to speak, Liu Dong said: "Do you want to move the camp again?" Yu Jiangtao said with a straight face: "Boss, there is no war in the Dingjun, you can bear to let the moving camp be idle? ”

Liu Dongzhi said angrily: "Don't block me, don't talk about it now... I'll wait until I go back and ask Master. Seeing that Liu Dongzhi's tone was somewhat relaxed, Yu Jiangtao hurriedly turned his head and snickered again and again.

Dingjun is more than 400 miles away from the capital Xing'an, and the water surface of Weishui is wide and soothing. Liu Dong and his entourage did not disturb the counties along the way, and on the evening of the second day, they disembarked at the official ferry outside Xing'an City, bypassed the Wang's Forbidden Garden, and came to the Tonghua Gate in the east of Xing'an City.

The city of Xing'an is magnificent, the city walls are towering and high, and the obsidian is heavy. Mu Qingyu and Rongcheng feel that Xing'an City is not much better than Tianyi City. Qianxiong smiled at the two of them on the side and said, "Our Xing'an City was designed by the teacher and supervised by Pei Shi, but it is twice as big as Tianyi!" Rong Laosan, who was following behind, was stunned when he heard this.

Liu Dongzhi said: "Xiaoxiong, you take them and escort these carts to Taifu's mansion." The three of us went to the royal city to meet the king. Little Flute goes home. "Liu Dongzhi and Yu Jiangtao are both generals of the second grade, although Lu Zijing has no real position, he is also a military officer of the third grade, and he needs to be the first to meet the king of the shadow when he enters the city.

After Liu Dongzhi and the three of them went, the group went to the location of the Taifu Mansion in Buzheng Fang in the west of the city under the guidance of Qianxiong. It was almost dawn, the sky was getting dark, and the Wuhou who patrolled the city had already lit the lights on the streets of Fangshi. Mu Qingyu was surprised to find that at this time, there were still people coming and going, and pedestrians did not rush home. Mu Qingyu couldn't help but ask Qianhui on the side, "Xiaohui, isn't there a night ban in Xing'an?"

Qianhui smiled: "Yes! But the night ban in Xing'an starts from Haizheng." This is the rule that Taifu set at the beginning. He said privately that one day he would turn Xing'an into a 'city that never sleeps'. Mu Qingyu was very curious, and said in his heart that he would have to travel to the night scene of Xing'an in the future.

In the bright lights, the crowd passed in front of the royal city. The grandeur of the royal city, the majestic buildings and the brightly armored guards all amazed Mu Qingyu and others.

Pedestrians gradually became scarce, and everyone finally came to the gate of the Taifu Mansion of Buzheng Fang. There was already a group of slaves waiting outside the door, and an old man in his sixties walked forward with a smile and said to Qianxiong: "Xiaoxiong, are you back?!"

Qianxiong hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Su, why did you come out in person?!" That person was Su Mu, the head of the Taifu Mansion, who had followed Su Wu for many years, watched Liu Dongzhi and others grow up, and was very respected by the juniors. Su Mu pointed to the dozen or so carts behind him, and said with a smile: "Let me pick them up." ”

Qianxiong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, have they come back?" Su Mu smiled: "They are in front of the lobby." Zhongqun, Dequn, you transport the cart from the east gate to the east courtyard. Zhang Zhongqun and the others were naturally familiar with Su Mu, so they answered and escorted the car.

Su Mu said: "Xiaoxiong, introduce me to these people, and then you can hurry back to the house." Qianxiong hurriedly introduced Mu Qingyu, Rong Cheng and Rong Laosan to Su Mu. Hearing Mu Qingyu's name, Su Mu unconsciously cried.

After a few simple words, Su Mu drove away the reluctant Qianxiong and Wu Di, and walked into the mansion with Liu Sanzhi and a few people.

Bypassing the huge shadow wall, there is a wide square in front of the main hall in the distance. Under the bright lights, two teams of 100 guards stood on both sides of the square. At the foot of the steps of the main hall, there were suddenly three people kneeling, it was Liu Dongzhi, Yu Jiangtao and Lu Zijing. Liu Sanzhi and the others were shocked.

At this moment, a majestic figure came out of the lobby, glanced at the three people who flowed, and then arrived in front of Liu Sanzhi and the others in the blink of an eye. The man was tall and strong, with a wide face and thin eyes, and his face was full of pits, which was really scary.

The person who came unconsciously grabbed Liu Sanzhi's hand, and said in a cold voice: "Are you Sanzhi?!" Liu Sanzhi nodded hurriedly. The man said: "I am Yan Wei, call me the fourth brother." Go and rest. Uncle Mu, I'll go first. With that, he brushed his sleeves and disappeared.

Liu Sanzhi and the others were at a loss for a while, but they heard Su Mu laugh and said: "Xiaowei is like this, he doesn't talk much, but he has a disgusting face, you will know later." Come with me. ”

Liu Sanzhi hurriedly said: "Uncle Mu, my eldest brother, who are they?" Su Mu smiled: "Leave them alone, you go back to rest first." Ah Lang was so angry that they had to kneel for a night. ”

Liu Sanzhi didn't dare to say more. The four of them followed Su Mu towards the east courtyard. Liu Dongzhi has been fighting abroad all the year round, and he has not yet been married, and in order to protect his master and relieve Lu Zijing, he has repeatedly refused the Shadow King's mansion, and has been living with Lu Zijing in the Taifu Mansion.

The Taifu Mansion occupies a unique place, exceeding the ordinary royal mansions. Everyone walked all the way and walked for a long time before they arrived at the East Courtyard. Along the way, Su Mu kept asking Mu Qingyu about the east and west, saying that he would live in the east courtyard tonight, and let Mu Qingyu go to the backyard to live with the lady and the little lady tomorrow.

The closer he got to the East Courtyard, the faster Liu San's heartbeat accelerated. Su Muxin was as careful as a hair, and he had already seen the changes in Liu Sanzhi, and said with a smile: "Sanzhi, it is already Haizheng, and Lao Guo and Xiaochao are afraid that they have already rested." Do you want to wake them up?" Liu Sanzhi hurriedly said: "No, no, tomorrow morning, see you tomorrow morning." ”

The maid in the east courtyard had already cleaned up the room. After Su Mu arranged for everyone to bathe and change clothes, he went by himself. Liu Sanzhi sat on the bed and exercised pranayama, but he couldn't settle down. Thinking that his relatives were right in front of him, Liu Sanzhi was excited. For so many years, I have never been separated from Grandpa Guo and Xiaochao for such a long time, how can I not miss myself?

Outside the lobby, Liu Dongzhi and the three of them knelt under the steps with low eyebrows, not daring to move in the slightest. An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and a pleasant and gentle call came from the lobby: "Move, you three come in!"

The three of Liu Dongzhi were happy, and walked into the lobby with their heads down. Liu Dongzhi was just about to raise his head, when suddenly something flew and hit Liu Dongzhi's forehead with a bang. Liu Dongzhi naturally knew who hit him, so he didn't dare to dodge and immediately knelt down. Lu Zijing didn't say a word, and knelt down.

Yu Jiangtao picked up the wooden shoes in front of Liu Dongzhi, held them with both hands, licked his face and walked forward, but he didn't think that another wooden shoe was flying head-on, where did Yu Jiangtao dare to dodge, and he just let the wooden shoes fall heavily on his head. Yu Jiangtao hurriedly knelt down and said with a smile: "This, this, Master! This has nothing to do with me, it doesn't matter! It's all done by the boss and the sixth." I'm wronged!"

The old man sitting on the couch in front of the hall stood up and couldn't help coughing twice. The woman in her forties on the side was busy gently beating the old man's back, and said gently: "Lang Jun, don't be impatient!" The woman's body is plump but her shoulders are as narrow as a cut, her waist is as thin as a bundle, her face is delicate and delicate, her eyes are shining, and she is full of style.

The old man was tall and thin, with deep-set cheeks, but his eyes were bright, and the long black and white hair on his head was casually draped over his shoulders.

The old man is the Great Shadow An Guogong, Taifu, Shang Shuling, and the Great Sacrifice Wine Su Wu of the Ying Wu Academy.

Su Wu said angrily: "He is the boss, but you are the oldest! If he consults with you, will you reject him?" Yu Jiangtao lowered his face and muttered: "No need, this is unnecessary! Master, Master, this, this is unfair!"

The woman smiled when she heard this, and her smile was as bright as the rising sun: "Okay, let's all get up and talk." Without waiting for Su Wu to speak, Liu Dongzhi and the three of them stood up and stood in front of the two of them with a smile.

Su Wu was still angry, sat on the couch with his ass, and said angrily: "You two sit, you kneel for me for a while!" Su Wu glanced at the slightly unhappy woman on the side, and hurriedly said: "Lady, don't be angry!

The three of Liu Dongzhi sat down on their knees, holding back a laugh that was about to be held back, and their heads were buried in their chests. The three of them all knew that Su Wu was chasing his wife in Tianyi back then, stalking, scoundrels, and even servile and kneeling, doing everything he could. After marriage, Su Wu regarded his wife as a treasure, neither filled the house and took concubines, nor did he mess with flowers and grass, and even pushed away the marriage of the former king. The big and small things in the family all depend on his wife Wang Junlian.

Su Wu has never been informal, and when he gets along with a group of disciples, he also regards etiquette as dung. But in front of Wang Junlian, no one in Su Wu and the disciples dared to make a mistake. Wang Junlian and Su Wu have been married for many years before they have two daughters, and they have always regarded Liu Dongzhi and other disciples as their own and cared for them.

Wang Junlian glared at Su Wu and said, "Okay, the children are all for you! Not to mention that they are all safe and sound?! Otherwise I'll go immediately!"

Without waiting for Su Wu to speak, Wang Junlian said to Liu Dongzhi and the others: "You all sit up." I know a little bit about things. Dongzhi, Xiaojing, I know that you are for the good of your masters, but if you make such decisions in the future, you must tell your master. We are family!"

Hearing the three words of the family, Liu Dongzhi and the three of them remembered the time they spent with their master and mother when they were young, and their eyes couldn't help but be rosy.
