Nanyue Pass, after further construction and reinforcement, has been called a Xiongguan, guarding the gateway of Lingzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, as usual, some caravans and travelers were being inspected, registered, and receiving identity cards. There was a team outside the Guan, with more than 200 people, and a team of elite soldiers on war horses escorted several carriages, and the flags were displayed, but they were under the banner of the town and the country. When it comes to Zhenguo Mansion, Daxia can be said to be known to everyone, everyone knows that the Mu family of the Zhenguo General's Mansion is a loyal martyr, and all the sons and daughters in the door are well-known heroes, and the victorious generals who gallop on the battlefield, from the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia, have made countless contributions to the Great Xia, and there are also many Mu family sons who sacrificed their lives for the country.

When the team stopped more than a mile away from Nanyue Pass, the first carriage got down a middle-aged scribe, but it was Mu Shuwen, who had only been to Lingzhou not long ago, and he went to Lingzhou this time as the emperor's envoy to invite some famous scholars from Zhushan Academy to enter the court. In the mission, in addition to the guards and eunuchs who announced the decree, and several officials accompanying them, they also included the old lady Yu of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and several young generations of the Mu family.

Originally, in order to show his sincerity, Emperor Yongchang planned to send some imperial relatives or princes to come, but now that Lingzhou is the territory of the Brotherhood, who dares to take risks easily? The Brotherhood is notoriously fond of letting people ransom people, and if the royal relatives and princes tie up meat tickets to the Brotherhood, asking for ransom is still secondary, and the court will lose face. Discussed and discussed, but it was the old lady Yu of the Zhenguo General's Mansion who took the initiative to ask for help, and the old lady Yu's identity was noble enough, and she also planned to take this opportunity to visit her long-lost cousin.

"Mother, there is the South Vietnam Pass ahead." Mu Shuwen walked to the second carriage and bowed respectfully.

The curtain of the car was opened, and I saw a silver-haired old lady, whose face did not look old at all, and there was a trace of majesty in her wealth. Mrs. Yu's life is quite legendary, when she was young, she walked the rivers and lakes, acted chivalrous and righteous, and later married into the town by chance, followed her husband to gallop on the battlefield, and some stories with her as the protagonist were widely praised among the people.

Old Madam Yu glanced at Nanyue Pass a few times, and said, "Sure enough, it is a Xiongguan, no wonder the army of the imperial court has suffered a big loss here." ”

"Mother, do you want to put away the flag?" Mu Shuwen asked.

"No!" Old Madam Yu said categorically.

"However, I'm afraid ......," Mu Shuwen said worriedly.

"Afraid of what?! I want to see how domineering this brother is! Go, tell the soldiers to be in good spirits. Old Madam Yu insisted.

"Yes." Mu Shuwen knew that Old Madam Yu had always been the same, so he had to comply.

Mrs. Yu insisted on playing the banner of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, but it was not prestigious, she wanted to take this opportunity to test it and see how the Brotherhood would react, it stands to reason that the news of her group going to Lingzhou had already spread to Lingzhou, and it was impossible for the Brotherhood not to know, just to see how they would treat it.

Most of the soldiers accompanying the mission were the generals of the Mu family, and after receiving the order, they raised their spirits one by one, held high the flags, and arrived in front of the Nanyue Pass with high spirits.

Mu Shuwen walked through the South Vietnam Pass, knew the procedures for customs clearance, took the front, found the staff in charge of registration, and wanted to clear the customs directly with the identity of the mission.

"New here, go to the back and line up!" When the staff saw it, they immediately shouted.

"We are an embassy of the imperial court, and we have important matters in Lingzhou, so let us clear the customs quickly." Mu Shuwen put on the posture of an envoy and shouted loudly.

"Go to the line!" The staff repeated.

Mu Shuwen asked with a cold face: "You can afford to delay the big event?" ”

The staff sneered: "I am fully responsible for the customs clearance here, what can I not afford to bear?" No matter what kind of mission you have, you have to abide by the rules here when you get here, and besides, what my family leader hasn't explained is not a big deal. How? Want to jump in line with your identity? The last sentence was spoken loudly, and the rest of the queue heard it, staring at the members of the mission with strange eyes.

"......" Mu Shuwen almost choked to death, but he had no choice but to return to Mrs. Yu.

Of course, the Zhenguo Mansion will not do anything to cut the queue, since this is the case, wait according to the rules. Originally, there were some tea stalls and pergolas outside the customs for people to wait for the time to rest, and the cadres of the mission, for the face of the imperial court and the prestige of the town and the government, naturally could not run to the side to drink tea at this time, and lost their majesty, all of them maintained their manners, and waited for two quarters of an hour in a military posture.

The cadres of the mission stood stupidly for a while, and then, after passing through the customs to be inspected and registered, it was the same as an ordinary caravan.

Mrs. Yu watched through the curtain in the carriage, and the soldiers of Nanyue Pass reacted very calmly, treating the mission as an ordinary person. However, Old Madam Yu noticed that the soldiers on the city wall and the closed gate were always on guard, and felt that the deal might be deliberately arranged in this way.

Mrs. Yu's guess was right, Xiao Tianlei learned about it a few days earlier, however, there was no special explanation, just let the soldiers guarding the pass pay attention, and the other according to the general business travel treatment is, of course, you have to abide by the rules, if you don't follow the rules, you want them to look good.

Xiao Tianlei didn't care at all about the imperial court's recruitment of celebrities from Zhushan Academy into the court or something, how do these people like to play, just don't disturb your own family.

Entering the territory of Lingzhou, the cadres of the mission and others saw the style of Lingzhou, which was already very different from the rest of Great Xia, and they just passed by in a hurry, and they could not understand it. The pomp and circumstance of the mission's flags and flags attracted the attention of many people along the way, some people followed to see the excitement, and children also ran along, but unlike the general excitement, the people here had no awe of the mission at all, talking and laughing.

It can also be regarded as a major influence of the brotherhood on the people of Lingzhou, the brotherhood is not interested in pomp and circumstance at all, and some small leaders of the brotherhood generally take the bus to do things. It doesn't matter if you're respectful, fearful, or dissatisfied...... The Brotherhood does things in full accordance with all kinds of rules, as long as it doesn't violate the rules set by the Brotherhood, it will be fine, and gradually people will let go, and they will basically not cower when they see big people.

This attitude made some people in the mission very uncomfortable, and they felt as if they were being seen as something strange, and they were really poor and evil, and they didn't know how to be respectful at all.

Walking along the wide and flat road, it took more than a day to reach Lingzhou City, and the mission first followed the emperor's order to go to Zhushan Academy to meet some famous people.

The celebrities in Zhushan Academy now have their own thoughts, to say that many of these celebrities are the children of some big families, and there are still some who are loyal to Daxia, especially some celebrities whose families are deeply entangled with the Daxia court, if Daxia falls, their families will not be better. Although the court has fallen, the family may not necessarily fall, but who can say what the situation will be?

There are also some more conceited people, although they know that Daxia is terminally ill, but if they can revive it in their own hands, they will definitely be able to leave a name in history. For the recruitment of the imperial court, like Xie Jinan and some famous people of the Fa Sect are very moved, Xie Jinan has studied the brotherhood for many years, but there are many ideas, but, that's all, he wants to put some of his ideas into practice, and show his ambitions. Originally, Fazong was famous for liking to change the law, but Fazong has also declined for hundreds of years, and has been suppressed by the mainstream school, saying that Fazong's scholarship is not the right way, and the changes made by the rule of law and Fazong people are often criticized by other sects. So much so that many members of the Fa sect doubted the concept of the Fa sect, and many of them began to study the academics of the mainstream sects in order to gain fame. Now the scene in Lingzhou is a stimulant for the disciples of Fazong, and there are many laws and regulations in Lingzhou, and Lingzhou is still thriving, which shows that the theory of Fazong's governance is absolutely feasible. Lingzhou does not have the sects that are in power now, and Lingzhou is just as good, and it has not seen the sky fall. On the contrary, those sects in power engaged in so many tricks such as benevolence, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness, and Great Xia has not become what it is now? This point makes the people of Fazong quite proud, and it is only right that the country can be governed by the rule of law! Of course, the Brotherhood will definitely not do enough, if they do it, they will definitely be able to do better, to say that there is no chance in peacetime, now that the Great Xia Emperor has summoned, isn't it a great opportunity to revive the Fa Sect and make a name for himself?

Not to mention the decision of the famous scholars and sects of Zhushan Academy, this time, the mission went to Lingzhou for another purpose, that is, to appease the Brotherhood again. The last time, Mu Shuwen served as a secret envoy to appease the Brotherhood, and at that time, the imperial court put itself in a high position, just to make the Brotherhood obedient and forgive its guilt. I didn't expect the Brotherhood to win again, now the Zoroastrian rebellion, some other people also rebelled, Daxia exposed the essence of its external strength, so that the forces in and around Daxia are ready to move, the court is now unable to deal with so many disasters, the court is not without capable people, some discussion, it is recommended that Emperor Yongchang take Huairou means, open some favorable conditions, if you can appease some forces, you will be able to save the situation, like the Brotherhood If it can be used by the court, not to mention others, it is just the artillery of the Brotherhood, If you can't say anything, you can make the Brotherhood turn things around.

On the second day, Mu Shuwen, Mrs. Yu and other cadres of the Mu family went to Pudu Temple, the headquarters of the Brotherhood in Lingzhou City, according to their plan, as Mrs. Yu, the relationship with the old lady of the Xiao family, no matter what, Xiao Tianlei and others of the Brotherhood also have to be respectful, with this relationship, it is easy to talk about the appeasement.

A group of people marched in Lingzhou City, Mrs. Yu and others observed everything in Lingzhou City, Lingzhou City was full of people, bustling, a prosperous scene. "Lingzhou was originally a place of exile, and if Lingzhou can be governed like this, there must be great talents in the brotherhood!" Old Madam Yu sighed, but it was a pity in her heart that such a great talent was not used by the imperial court, but she became a thief. To say that when Emperor Yongchang was younger, he was also a relatively wise monarch, who governed Daxia well and subdued various factions in the court, but when he was older, he became stupid, appointed some traitors, and kicked some talented ministers out of the court, so that there is today's situation. As the first general of Great Xia, Zhenguo Mansion is not easy to intervene in the affairs of civil officials, although it has done some things to keep some promising officials, but it is also a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to save the overall situation.

Old Madam Yu made up her mind, this time she would appease the Brotherhood no matter what, speaking of which, among the leaders of the Brotherhood, several of them were the grandchildren of her old sisters.

The group arrived outside the gate of Pudu Temple and asked the guards to report that Mu Shuwen took two children of the Mu family into Pudu Temple, and the two children of the Mu family were Mu Shaolong and Mu Shaoze. Among the children of the Mu family in this generation, martial arts are among the top few, Mu Shuwen knows that Xiao Tianlei and others are strong in martial arts, and brought two people to suppress the position. Mrs. Yu and others were waiting outside the door, she was an elder, so naturally there was no reason for elders to meet their juniors.

Xiao Tianlei was burying his head in a pile of documents, when Mu Shuwen and others came in, he raised his head and asked, "This time, what's the matter?" "Mu Shuwen is officially coming as an envoy of the imperial court, Xiao Tianlei doesn't know what to call Mu Shuwen, although even if it is a private identity, Xiao Tianlei doesn't want to call Uncle Mu or anything like that, so he simply doesn't call him.

Mu Shuwen frowned slightly, he had already learned about Xiao Tianlei's rudeness, and he could only endure it, and said, "This time the imperial court sent me to ......."

Without waiting for Mu Shuwen to speak, Xiao Tianlei interrupted: "Don't say anything like Fu, I'm not interested in listening to it, it's still the same sentence, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, don't talk about the rest, if you really say that, if you don't have anything else, you can leave, if you want to say more, I'll let the guards send you out." ”

Mu Shuwen's face sank, the words he prepared were blocked in his mouth, he only felt depressed in his heart, looking at Xiao Tianlei's attitude of directly driving people, the words of appeasement were unspeakable, after thinking about it, he had to say: "My old lady, I came to see your grandmother, who is outside the door at the moment." ”

"Oh, then you go to Zhengjiazhuang, you don't need to inform me." Xiao Tianlei said casually without thinking about it, he didn't take it seriously at all. Xiao Tianlei originally except for a few relatives of his own family, some other relatives who were relatively close, Xiao Tianlei didn't care, not to mention the relatives who couldn't be beaten by eight poles, even if it was an old lady from Zhenguo Mansion, for Xiao Tianlei, it was just a strange old woman, put on a show, let yourself go to greet it? He didn't have that much to spare.

Mu Shuwen had a gloomy face, not to mention the noble status of the old lady of Zhenguo Mansion, just Xiao Tianlei's grandmother's cousin, according to general etiquette, Xiao Tianlei should also go out to greet him to show respect, so casually dismissed, it is extremely rude. Mu Shuwen couldn't help but want to talk about Xiao Tianlei, who didn't know the number of etiquette, and before he could speak, Mu Shaolong behind him roared angrily: "What an arrogant boy who has no manners!" Watch me clean you up! ”

The children of the Mu family are extremely filial, and they never disobey Mrs. Yu, Mu Shaolong is one of the best, and Xiao Tianlei's attitude is completely not to look at the Zhenguo Mansion, Mu Shaolong's temper is relatively short-tempered, he likes to do everything without saying a word, how can he stand this, roar, stride forward, and come to clean up Xiao Tianlei.

Xiao Tianlei raised his eyes slightly, such an impulsive guy, he didn't bother to do anything, just when the thunderbolt pillar was placed on the edge of the desk, Xiao Tianlei had a thought, and a dazzling thunderbolt shot out from the tip of the thunderbolt pillar, which hit Mu Shaolong's body, Mu Shaolong's whole body twitched, rolled his eyes, and put on a few weird poses before falling to the ground. Uncle Mu still wanted to dissuade him, and took the opportunity to reprimand Xiao Tianlei, Mu Shaoze knew that the people in the Brotherhood were powerful, and he was going to help, but in the blink of an eye, Mu Shaolong had already fallen to the ground with smoke all over his body, smoking on the ground.

Xiao Tianlei said generously: "For the sake of a little relationship, this time I will teach you a small lesson, if there is a next time, you wait to redeem people, it just so happens that there is no business recently, and the shelves at the door have been empty for a few days......"

Mu Shuwen and Mu Shaoze's faces were as black as the bottom of the pot, but the two of them didn't dare to say anything, Mu Shaolong is a role model, a little lesson? Half a life is gone, okay! For those iron shelves at the door, Mu Shuwen of course knew what was going on, looking at Xiao Tianlei's somewhat regretful expression, he said in his heart that this kid probably really wanted to get a few people as meat tickets, and wait for someone to use the money to redeem them, let's go, when I meet this kind of person, it is useless to say anything.

At the gate of Pudu Temple, Mrs. Yu thought that someone would come out to greet her, but after waiting for a long time, she saw Mu Shaoze coming out with Mu Shaolong in a coma, and couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Shuwen had to tell the truth, and Mrs. Yu couldn't believe it, and said, "There is such an arrogant and rude kid? My old sister was well-read when she was young, how did she come up with such a junior?! "Old Madam Yu can't help but be annoyed, it is not difficult to meet the emperor as her, but she touched a nail here with a junior. What made her even more annoyed was that some of the arguments she had prepared were useless. Originally, if she saw Xiao Tianlei, she still wanted to persuade her as an elder, saying that she couldn't reprimand angrily, and called her to repent.

People don't see it at all, can they still get in, after all, Lingzhou is already the territory of the Brotherhood.

"Old lady, let's just go in and capture the thieves of the Brotherhood! Let those boys know that they know how awesome! A general of the town government shouted.

If it was based on Mrs. Yu's original temper, she couldn't really get into it, and Mrs. Yu even had an idea to capture the leader of the Brotherhood and force him to submit with her own efforts, just like the generals who captured the enemy in the army back then. However, she can also see it clearly during this time outside, not to mention that there are many masters in the rumored brotherhood, just the soldiers who patrol and guard, at first glance, they are some elite soldiers, and they are not easy to deal with, besides, Mu Shaolong has not made a single move in Xiao Tianlei's hands, Mu Shaolong's martial arts She knows that she can take down Mu Shaolong with one move, no matter what the means, she has enough scruples about these people. Besides, this time she came to see her long-lost sisters, and she didn't even meet to fight, and besides, she came to appease her, not to fight.

After thinking about it again and again, Mrs. Yu had to say, "Don't be reckless...... Let's go see my old sister and think about it. (To be continued.) )
