Chapter 13 Glory to the Ancestors
When Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was frequently impeached by the imperial historians and had no way to teach his son, the prime minister said that Xiao Muchong had learned the art of war and tactics with Ye Junshi since he was a child, and he should be given a team to take out to march and fight, and was unanimously ridiculed by officials of all sizes in the court. In the end, the emperor spoke: "He, the demon king of the world, how can he take my royal army, let him take those unlearned and unskilled children in the capital to train the army, just don't make trouble in the capital all day long." ”
So Xiao Muchong began to recruit troops with great fanfare, and most of the targets were the sons of gentlemen and the most vicious people in the capital, and camped in the dense forest of Dongtan on the outskirts of the capital, and began to train soldiers. The name of the army was very domineering, of course it was not the Huoyun Army—unless he didn't have a head, and the name was Guangzong Yaozu Army—which once again caused the courtiers to laugh, and the emperor was happy to see the effect. The old prime minister is highly respected, and if his children and grandchildren are all pillars, it will not be a blessing for the royal family.
But seeing that people look decent every morning and dusk, marching in line to practice, riding horses and shooting bows, there are still some people who are not **, so they go to inspect in various forms every three or five times, when they see the slogan in the camp that reads: "If you can't fight, you will run, if you can't run, you will bite!" The sound of gambling and drinking in the camp tent was louder than the sound of fake exercises outside, and they never came to inspect again.
On the Weishui River that day, Mu Ziyan was stunned at first when he saw Xiao Muchong, and then he was so excited that he suddenly jumped up and hugged his neck with both hands and shouted, "Xiao Xianggong, it's you." But he was suddenly stunned by Xiao Muchong's gesture, Xiao Muchong thought that before he fully controlled this kid, it was best not to listen to him and not give him any chance to escape. Anyway, the prime minister's father said that he wanted to find a place to settle him, so he threw Zi Yan into the Guangzong Yaozu Army, and came to clean him up when he had time.
These days, Mu Ziyan tried to escape several times, but there was no chance, this military camp seems to be loose, but in fact, it is loose on the outside and strict on the inside, and there are secret guards all around, and later she knew that she was protected, so she received a temporary errand with peace of mind: to be a husband. There is no one in the Guangzong Yaozu army who eats idle food, even Xiao Muchong himself has to go to Dongtan to dig stones and embankments to plant trees, and drive ox carts to cultivate grain.
The imperial court did not take this army seriously, thinking that it would disperse after a few troubles, and almost did not allocate food funds, so they played the slogan "Glory of the ancestors starts from planting one acre of land", and asked the imperial court for an order to reclaim the barren rocky land in Dongtan. It's strange that a bunch of people in the capital are farming, and they don't plant the land loudly. So the imperial court approved it as soon as possible: yes.
Mu Ziyan is a protected person, so he doesn't have to go to the wasteland to work, but he still has to do some work. At first, Master Wan would scold a few words when he saw it, and then he praised how delicious his dishes were when he heard Zi Yan's dishes, which were refreshing than the four treasures of hibiscus, and the whole fish feast was delicious, and sometimes he gave some suggestions on materials, so he was overjoyed, let her taste the dishes first, and even studied new dishes together. Within a few days, the face that had lost a circle of skin regained its charm.
Tianmu Division did not find out that "he" was Leng Bin, the young son of Lengfu, which caused Xiu Fan and the others to be punished by Xiao Muchong to go to Dayu Ridge for ten full days of training, and ate wild mice, snakes, meat, insect eggs and other things for ten days, and when they came back, they gathered around the room, boy, let's go to the wilderness to survive, you eat and drink spicy food here, and those who don't beat your uncle are sorry for our "gentleman" name.
Looking at those big men coming around, Mu Ziyan thought that they might not have a group of Xin'er images that were difficult to deal with, but after looking around the barracks, well, let's admit it. "Hey, military masters, I knew that you would come back today, the little one prepared good wine and food, prepared hot water, you have eaten and drunk enough to take a bath, sleep beautifully, recover your strength, and then come to the little one to settle accounts?"
"This kid is cunning, ignore him. "I heard Xiu Fan describe the situation of this kid playing Xiao Muchong in the mountains, these people are happy and angry when they hear it, and they feel a pity, such a person should be admitted to the Dao Tianmu Division. Hmph, don't be fooled by you, boy, this account must be settled today.
"Hey, ah, ah" Mu Ziyan, who was picked up, danced with his hands, "Master Jun, why don't I also find a way to let Xiao Mu rush into the Dayu Mountains for a few days of field training, so that you can dissipate your anger?"
"Hmph, his master put him in the deep mountains of Lingnan, and he was fine for half a year, and finally he came out on a tiger," a soldier next to him stepped on a stool, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing.
"Ahem, tiger? Why didn't he talk about riding a dragon? cough cough," Mu Ziyan was strangled by the collar and couldn't breathe, and he slapped the soldier who carried him desperately. "Why don't I help you win a game against him?"
The room was quiet, and more than a dozen people looked at Mu Ziyan together, how many times, they had never won against Xiao Muchong, so to speak, many of them had lost because of various bets, and promised Xiao Muchong to come to the army to listen to his command. The eldest husband is willing to gamble and lose, otherwise how can he mix in front of the brothers in the capital. Although they have now practiced their skills, and they have also experienced from reclamation to harvesting, going home with the grain they have grown, and tasting the taste of being impressed and respected by their parents, brothers, neighbors, and villagers, and they can't leave, but Xiao Muchong is still very excited to win once.
So more than a dozen people surrounded Mu Ziyan, drinking and eating while listening to her plan, until the middle of the night dispersed.
"Where did you pick up this sword, it's so rusty that you can't pull it out" Xiu Fan took Ziyan's ancient sword before leaving, and tried it twice unwillingly, but he still didn't pull it out and threw it back to Mu Ziyan who was burning the fire on the side: "Let it be a burning stick for you." "In other words, this kid has a way to save the day every time, and it's really likable.
In the firewood room, Mu Ziyan looked at the stars on the roof, playing with the sword in his hand alone, wondering, why did that Xiu Fan say that he couldn't pull it out. She can pull it out every day, and use it to chop wood and vegetables, but it is extremely sharp. Touching the paper fan in his arms, I don't know what happened to Sister Bingning, no, I still have to find a way to get out.
