In the quiet hall of the deep courtyard, there was a woman in a strong suit, who was looking up at a spear enshrined in the middle hall with her back hand.

I saw a long dragon with angry eyes and claws coiled around the body of the blue and silver shiny gun, although the muzzle of the gun was eroded by wind and frost, and occasionally encountered a broken mouth, but the majestic wind was still visible.

"Good! Sure enough, it's a good gun! The woman in the power suit couldn't help but admire.

"You...... Who are you?! How did you get in?! ”

The housekeeper in the house, after being informed by his subordinates, hurriedly rushed to the hall to inquire.

When the woman heard this, she was unmoved, and gently tilted her head and said, "I'm here to meet your family, please let me know." ”

The housekeeper suddenly glared at him, and pointed angrily: "Want to see our family?!" You don't want to see what kind of place this is?! How can someone of your stature easily get in?! I am in a good mood today, so I won't investigate you for trespassing on the house, and leave quickly! Walk! ”

After the butler finished speaking, he turned his head and instructed the two subordinates beside him to urge the woman away.

Without waiting for the two attendants to approach, the woman jumped up and took off the spear enshrined in the hall, turned the spear horizontally, and instantly bounced the two people out.

The woman took advantage of the wind and raised her gun to the butler's jaw. She glanced coldly, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you report it or not?" “

The housekeeper trembled with fright, nodded again and again, "The little one is going to report it!" I'm going to report it! ”

"Okay, I'll wait here." The woman slowly dropped the gun, brushed the dust off her trouser legs, and turned to sit calmly in the guest seat.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, the housekeeper hurriedly ran out of the hall.

He came to the study in the backyard in a panic, looked into the room with a pair of rat eyes, and cautiously leaned over and said, "Master, go to the hall and have a look!" There is a woman with strong martial arts who has to come to see you. I just asked a few words, and the report was a little slower, and she actually fought hard, not only injuring the two subordinates in the house, but also almost losing the life of the little one in her hands! ”

In the study, Zhu Chaoshi was raising his pen and ink, writing calligraphy, and was annoyed, when he heard that someone was making trouble in the house, he threw the pen angrily and said angrily: "What?!" How could such a thing happen?! Who the hell is it? ”

The housekeeper frowned and said pitifully: "The little one didn't dare to ask, but I heard from the next person that I saw this woman standing in the hall early in the morning, and I don't know when she came in and where she came in......"

Zhu Chaoshi threw the paper ball and cursed: "Useless thing!" I can't even see the door, what's the use of you?! ”

The housekeeper was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, "The general is angry, and the little one knows that he is wrong......"

"That's it! You go to seal the mansion quickly, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! General Ben wants to see who has such a great ability to dare to make trouble here! , wait for General Ben to meet her for a while! After Zhu Chaoshi finished speaking, he strode towards the living room.

Outside the hall, footsteps followed, and a group of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding halberds surrounded the door.

The woman stood up impatiently, pointed to the group at the door, and said, "If you don't want to suffer, just stand down." ”

I don't know who shouted outside the door: "Don't listen to her nonsense, give it to me!" ”

As soon as the heavily armed soldiers heard the order, they all rushed in the direction of the woman.

The woman was not in a hurry, threw the gun in her hand into the air, and raised her foot to kick in the direction of the enemy, and the gun fell heavily on the front row of soldiers, and pushed back to the whole group, which showed the strength of that kick.

While they were falling to the ground, the woman took a light fight, picked up her spear and jumped into the middle of the courtyard.

The vigorous posture is like a light swallow with a whirling branch.

She stood on her feet, threw her spear to the ground, crossed her waist with one hand, looked at the soldiers she had beaten to pieces, and said, "Okay! There are so many sparring partners, but it stretches my muscles and bones for me. ”

At this time, Zhu Chaoshi finally walked out of the dark corner and asked in a deep voice: "What person!" Dare to make trouble in this general's mansion?! ”

The woman saw a man with a fat face and a round belly and a man dressed in a noble dress coming over, and she was sure that this person must be Zhu Chaoshi, so she resumed her smile and arched her hand: "Xiaomin has seen General Zhu." See you at last. ”

Zhu Chaoshi touched his round belly and quietly looked at the woman, only to see that she had a kind face and polite words and deeds, not like a person who specializes in picking on barbarian things, so he slowed down his tone and continued to ask: "If you want to see this general, you can be generous and generous to report it, why do you hurt people and make a big fuss in this mansion!" ”

The woman bowed her head lower, "Please forgive the general." Xiaomin entered your mansion without the permission of the general, and it was his fault in the first place. Xiaomin just had to tell the general, and hurting people was definitely not a last resort. ”

When Zhu Chaoshi heard this, he knew that it was the housekeeper who added fuel and vinegar and did not do it properly, so he glared at the housekeeper beside him fiercely, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers in the court to retreat.

This woman is agile, sneaking into the house under strict vigilance, and no one notices, and from his years of experience in knowing people, the woman is by no means an ordinary person. Let's listen to what she has to say. Zhu Chaoshi thought about this, turned to the woman and said, "Since that's the case, please take a seat in the house." ”

"Thank you, General!" The woman arched her hand and followed behind Zhu Chaoshi without fear.

"Don't know the girl's door?" Zhu Chaoshi came to the main seat and sat down, holding a cup of tea, and suddenly looked up and asked.

The woman did not take her seat, and replied with a smile: "The little people's name is Mu Niang, but they are from ordinary people. ”

"What?!" When Zhu Chaoshi heard this, he was so shocked that his wrist shook, and the tea in the cup overflowed.

He put the teacup on the table, quickly got up, leaned over and asked, "You?" ...... Are you the big boss of the Forgotten Dust Building? ”

The shepherd girl bowed and smiled: "It's the little people." Xiaomin has just offended a lot, and once again apologized to the general. ”

Although Zhu Chaoshi is not in the capital all the year round, he still has a deep understanding of the incident that caused a sensation throughout the country and washed the imperial city in bloodshed last year, and he knows that Mu Niang is one of them, that is to say, Mu Niang is also a person from Taoyuan.

He was stunned for a while, slowly squeezed out an unnatural smile, quickly changed his attitude, and said, "It turns out that a distinguished guest is coming, please take a seat, please take a seat." Then he turned his head and shouted out the door, "Someone! Show the tea to your guests! ”

Mu Niang pursed her lips and smiled, walked up to Zhu Chaoshi, and offered the spear in her hand with both hands, "Just because of the situation, I borrowed the general's weapon, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Zhu Chaoshi stretched out his hand to pick it up, slowly retracted it, and smiled reluctantly: "If the girl likes it and thinks she can use it, she will ...... Just give it to the girl! ”

Mu Niang glanced at Zhu Chaoshi in surprise, and asked tentatively with a smile: "I heard that this gun is called the Yajiao Gun, which is a special gun for Changshan Zhao Zilong, and he has followed him through hundreds of wars and won countless battles. With such a famous gun, the general is really willing to give me it? ”

Zhu Chaoshi looked at the gun reluctantly, his face jumped horizontally, and after some inner struggle, he closed his eyes and said, "As long as the girl likes ......"

Seeing Zhu Chaoshi's entangled and painful appearance, Mu Niang couldn't help but bow her head and snicker for a while, and quietly put the spear back. "Thank you, General, for your kindness. It's just that I'm not used to using such a large weapon. ”

Zhu Chaoshi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after taking a seat, he asked about the matter, "The girl came this time, dare to ask for any advice?" ”

The shepherd was silent and looked around.

Zhu Chaoshi understood and immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat.

Only then did the shepherd lady say: "I am ordered by the third prince to invite General Zhu to the banquet. ”

Zhu Chaoshi asked in surprise: "Third prince?" Not a face? ”

The shepherd was puzzled: "Why did the general mention painting?" ”

It's strange, she is obviously from Taoyuan, but she pretends to be deaf and dumb in front of me, what kind of idea did she have? Zhu Chaoshi thought to himself, and then asked, "Why did the third prince ask you to report?" ”

The shepherd lady smiled: "The general doesn't know anything. Although my name is a teahouse, it is actually a place to transmit news, and now the Queen Mother has ordered the national highway to be strictly sealed, "Few people can enter the city to find out the news." And my shepherd is famous, and I live in the capital, so the third prince entrusted me to handle this matter. ”

Mu Niang didn't tell the truth, the reason why she came was because of Huayan's biography, which told her that she had to try her best to bring Zhu Chaoshi to the Yidu Palace, and she couldn't expose Huayan's traces, so as to prevent him from defecting halfway.

Although the news of her resurrection is well known, her affairs in the Yidu Mansion have not been fully disclosed, which results in the fact that half of the people know and half of the people don't know, and the truth is the safest.

"I see." Zhu Chaoshi coped with it on the surface, but he was still suspicious in his heart.

Zhu Chaoshi lowered his head and thought about it, then asked with a smile: "In this case, I don't know what the three princes have to celebrate, feast the ministers?" ”

The shepherd saw through that Zhu Chaoshi was still wary of herself, and said directly: "The general misunderstood, the prince only invited the general to the banquet alone." If the general has to ask for a reason, it can also be understood that the prince controls one side, the people are safe and the government is peaceful, and he likes to have a banquet, and he wants to invite the general to share the joy together. ”

Zhu Chaoshi heard that she was mocking, and smiled slightly awkwardly.

Mu Niang glanced out of the door, turned to face Zhu Chaoshi and said, "I don't play dumb riddles with the general. The meaning of the prince must be understood by the generals. What the prince wants to remind the general is that the general should not forget the agreement he made with him in the Forgotten Dust Building. Also, the imperial court summoned the general back to Beijing for no reason, and the general just stepped into the city gate with his front foot, and the queen mother ordered the city gate to be sealed with his back foot. ”

Zhu Chaoshi was taken aback, and asked cautiously: "What does the prince mean is that the queen mother wants to take the opportunity to seize the general's military power?" ”

Mu Niang shook her head and smiled, "The general is half right, what the Queen Mother wants to seize is not only the military power in the hands of the general. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Mu Niang patiently explained: "The general has 100,000 soldiers and horses, they have all followed the general from before the founding of the country to the present day from birth to death, your weight in their hearts is more important than the imperial court, if you cut the general's military power for no reason, your subordinates will definitely not accept it, so, they will inevitably impose charges on you." If you don't die, they won't be able to dominate the hearts of the people. ”

Zhu Chaoshi sat down on the seat in a dejected manner, and said in a panic: "If this is the case, how can I go out of the city to meet the third prince......

Mu Niang stepped forward and comforted: "The general doesn't have to worry, the prince has already paved the way for the general, just waiting for the general to come." ”

Zhu Chaoshi got up suddenly, and was about to agree, but suddenly hesitated.

He thought to himself, if I take this soldier to join the third prince, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take away my military power like the queen mother and do treacherous things.

Moreover, if the Queen Mother learns that I have taken refuge in the Third Prince, I will definitely not let me go easily, and who can guarantee my safety?

Mu Niang saw that Zhu Chaoshi was worried, and said lightly: "General rest assured, the prince is going to achieve a great cause, as long as it is the person who follows the prince, it will be guaranteed." The prince specially said that the general's soldiers are still led by the general. ”

"Does the prince really say that?!" Zhu Chaoshi asked in surprise.

Mu Niang replied with a smile: "The benevolence and righteousness of the three princes are known to the world, what is the general still hesitating about?" She further induced: "Queen Mother, the imperial court, who has understood General Zhu's hard work?" Back then, without General Zhu accompanying the emperor to fight the world, how could they enjoy the blessings they have now? Far from taking General Zhu seriously, they secretly plotted to rob the general of his labor, which is really unfair. Will General Zhu continue to endure such injustices? ”

"Humph! Why should General Ben let them take the country that he has worked so hard to do, and General Ben will never swallow such bitter fruits! Zhu Chaoshi was induced by the shepherd, and he was really angry.

The shepherd lady took the opportunity to ask, "So, did the general agree to go to the banquet?" ”

Zhu Chaoshi raised his head, looked at the shepherd mother steadily, and replied solemnly: "Please return to the prince, the minister is willing to go to the banquet!" ”
