Although it is to enter the court to pay tribute, but it is also necessary to obtain the permission of the royal family first, many days after the letter of the lord of Xucheng was sent, Kunchuan finally sent back the news, and asked him to arrange people to enter the palace on the third day of the "Kusi" festival, that is, the day of the "Apuji", with the team entering the palace.

After Xu Mu's explanation, they understood that this "Kusi" festival was the New Year of the Luo people, and the "Apu Machine" was the day when everyone greeted each other after the New Year.

In this way, the king really did not have any suspicions, but just arranged their itinerary according to their usual habits.

Although he only entered the palace that day, the team of the court could set off early, and the lord of Xu City immediately replied with an enthusiastic letter, indicating that this year's gifts were more than in previous years, so he ordered his nephew to set off first, and if he arrived in Kunchuan early, he would live in the post house and wait for His Royal Highness to summon him.

Only the emperor of the Jin court of the Celestial Dynasty can be called "Your Majesty", while the royal family or the king of the opposite sex can only be called "Your Highness".

Today's king is the nephew of the king, although he is not the descendant of the king, but because the family has always been the king of the strong and sage, he was elected by everyone and sat on the throne of the king.

Along the way, Liu Muzhi took the map and discussed all kinds of this family with everyone, and asked the city lord of Xu to arrange a henchman to teach everyone the simplest Luo Lu language every day, so although this is a very serious journey of life and death, it is very interesting.

Now if it is in the Central Plains, or even in the south of the Yangtze River, it is already a wet and cold winter, but the closer to Jinning County by the Dianchi Lake, the more warm it feels, along the way it is always warm brazier, in the days when it is about to arrive, when the sun is abundant, it is not even necessary to light the brazier, the same feels warm.

In this regard, Xu Mu explained: "Kunchuan is close to Dianchi Lake, and the four seasons are like spring, so the Fu family will choose this place as the place of governance, this place is not only warm in winter, but also in summer, it is also extremely cool, it is really a treasure land of outstanding people." ”

Hagi Niang then remembered that Kunchuan, maybe it is the Kunming of the later generations, it is really like spring all year round, and the climate is very good.

This clan will really enjoy it.

This trip can be said to be the most powerful one after Hagi Niang came to this world, just for the gifts of the carriage and horse, there are dozens of cars, endless, and the front and rear guards, are like ants, sweeping in the mountain path to open the way, one after the other to guard this valuable gift.

Hagi Niang once suggested taking the main road, so as not to be attacked by people in front and back, or block the limousine in the middle, and it was too late to answer.

Xu Mu said disapprerovingly: "This is a gift to the king of the plan, it is sent at this time every year, and the flag of my Xu family is hung on the car, even if someone really eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and has the heart to covet this treasure of my family, he does not dare to take it, isn't this a shameless for the king of the plan?" ”

Well, people are familiar with the way, so don't talk too much as a layman.

However, just after entering Jinning County, almost not far outside Kunchuan City, it was her unfortunate words that a group of homeless people wielded hoes and sickles from the mountains, and they came directly to Hagi Niang and the middle of their team, shouting "robbery", and at the same time they stepped forward to grab things.

The drivers of these carts are ordinary villagers, who are just hoeing the fields and planting vegetables on weekdays, who have never seen such a scene, when they put down the limousines in their hands and cowered to the side.

Although there are guards guarding the front and back, this team is several miles long, and it will be necessary to wait for the front and rear troops to find out about the abnormality here before rushing back, but I am afraid that it will take a cup of tea.

Xu Mu was dumbfounded, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't you all want to die, this is a tribute to King Jiao, you dare to rob it?!" ”

The group didn't buy it at all, and the leader seemed to be very righteous, and even if he jumped to a high place, he shouted: "It doesn't matter if you are the king of the ship or the king of the car, our brothers have not opened a gang for several days, and finally waited for you people, so we can't start work in vain." ”

With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Brothers, get on!" If you grab it, you will withdraw, and I will cut it off for you! ”

Before Xu Mu could say more, Hagi Niang hurriedly persuaded: "Xu Lang, I think you still ordered these house slaves to protect the most important property, these people know that they are outlaws at a glance, how can you reason with them?" ”

She saw that everyone had begun to rummage through the treasures on the cart indiscriminately, and the delicate brocade boxes and soft silk were all turned into a mess, and hurriedly said loudly: "Brothers, brothers, please listen to me. ”

Seeing that several thieves had already looked at her with ill will, Jinu hurriedly pulled out the long sword on his back, stood in front of Hagi Niang, and protected her.

The bandit leader glanced at her with disdain and asked, "You little lady is interesting, we are bandits, why don't you cry or scream, and have time to chat with us?" ”

Hagi Niang said softly: "This brother, as the saying goes, thieves also have a way, I believe that you are also forced to have no choice but to do this kind of business, but our tribute is indeed to be dedicated to the king, now you have taken two of the cars, think about it is also a lot of harvest, it is better to see the good and collect, and leave." Otherwise, we will tell the king of this fact, and the royal family, in a fit of rage, will not send troops to kill you? ”

Jinu and Xu Mu didn't expect that she would dare to threaten this fierce-looking mountain king in person, they both looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

When the bandit leader heard this, his face changed, but he didn't laugh angrily.

After laughing three times, he whistled with a strange whistle, and then retreated to the top of the hill first, shouting, "Brothers, withdraw!" ”

The bandits seemed to be very convinced, and even some of them had not yet grabbed valuable property, so they immediately put down what they were holding and obediently retreated.

Nanzhong was originally a mountainous area with many trees, and there were abundant water and grass, and those people disappeared into the forest as quickly as they appeared.

Xu Mu was already stunned, and finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly ordered someone to count the lost property.

Fortunately, there is some margin on the gift list this time, in case it is lost on the road, and after some checking, it can be counted by chance.

If Hagi didn't stop the bandit in time, it would be hard to say.

Although Xu Mu was shocked and ashamed, he still gratefully gave a big gift to Haginiang, and sighed: "You are really a woman among the women, brave and strategic, but I am the reckless man who does not listen to persuasion, first rejected your kind advice, and then did not know how to deal with it in the face of the crisis, it is not even as good as a woman, I am really ashamed, ashamed." ”

Although Hagi Niang was secretly funny, she could only pretend to be serious, solemnly helped him up with both hands, and praised: "Although you are inexperienced, you are really a gentleman, a gentleman has self-knowledge, knows people, and is talking about people like you." ”

Xu Mu seemed to have good intentions when he heard what she said, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

After he said this, he always felt that the self-suppressed smile on Haginiang's face was a little weird, as if something was not quite right, and he couldn't help but scratch his head, revealing a confused look.

Hagi Niang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Bullying honest people, it's not a skill, Xu Lang, the slave has made amends to you, it's all the slave's fault, and you shouldn't be teased." ”

Xu Mu slowly understood, his face was red and white, but he was extremely embarrassed.
