Zhu Ding and Mu Mangzi entered the Mandarin Mansion in the dark, took off their costumes, and put on their old clothes.

Mu Mangzi was at ease, and returned to the accommodation as if nothing happened, originally wanted to fan the sun in front of Du Qunfang and Lan Hui, but he was not there, knowing that he was on duty.

Mu Mangzi and Yi lay down, and only reviewed the "reasonable" explanation that Yu Ying had given him for missing for several hours, and didn't bother to think about anything else, and fell asleep.

The dreamman was waiting for a reply in the room, and when he heard that he was back, he was in a hurry to enter.

He briefly reported the secret meeting and took out the small items that Chi Wudaunt had asked to hand over to Menglong.

Under the light, Qi Menglong opened the small object, and when he saw it, it was a letter of Ba people written on a silk cloth.

The Ba people's picture language was originally invented by a sorcerer, and Menglong naturally understands it, to the effect that:

"Shadan was robbed, but in fact, he was innocent, and the owner of the goods was critically ill. Within a few days, it may be preserved, and if the time is long, the sand will be eliminated. In the old days, Jia companion, stored for me, did not ask for a good price, and the price was enough. The bird is dying, its song is also mourning, and the grass in the next life is not stingy. ”

Menglong read it and said secretly: "This book has no title and no payment, whether it is true or false, how do you know?"

Ding Ding looked at Menglong, motionless, without saying a word.

Menglong took a closer look and remembered that Mrs. Fan and her mother often sent people to each other to give some gifts, such as fresh famous fruits, such as lychees from Citrus and pig's loin dates from Maoergou. One year, my mother sent someone to send Mrs. Fan to send Sisi flower powder, Mrs. Fan asked her to bring back a letter of thanks, she had read the letter, in which the words "bird" and "song" were different, and my mother said that it was the only wizard who loved to write like that, which is exactly the same as today's book.

Menglong secretly said in his heart that this book should be written by Fan Yuntong's mother who trusted the shaman, and it might even be written by the same person as the letter to his mother.

So, Menglong said to Ding Ding: "Tomorrow, you go to the big river fish shed to eat and drink again, anyway, someone is bleeding." Call Zheng Cong, Du Qunfang, Mu Mangzi, and Tho Mangzi away. However, do not get drunk.

"Before you leave the capital, you think goodbye and be fearless, and communicate the specific details. You must understand that if you are not careful, you will lose all the games and even cause great trouble. Also, this matter must not be known to anyone who has nothing to do with it. Including her mother, she could not have the slightest suspicion. ”

After discussion, Menglong went to bed, and Ding, as the leader of the guards, went to perform the duty of checking the post before going to sleep.

Besides, Chi fearlessly returned to the general of the orange to lead Ba Xiu, and Ba Xiu was overjoyed.

Ba Xiu, Zi Junqi, Pingdu Renshi, Chinese New Year's Eve, outstanding martial arts, and strategy, in the country of Ba, which regards martial arts as the most effective hammer, is a rare and courageous and resourceful talent.

As the population grew, the tribes would continue to branch out and move in all directions, forming new tribes or sub-tribes, or going into decline.

The Ba clan is the undisputed first clan, they use the absolute resource advantage in their hands, the population is growing rapidly, and the Ba Xiu ancestors belong to the descendants of the White Tiger God Lijun who moved to Pingdu.

Pingdu, now Fengdu in Chongqing, is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, about seventy or eighty kilometers away from the upstream of Tongdu (now Fuling). Today, Fengdu is a world-famous ghost town (ghost capital).

During the time of Pakistan, Pingdu was a famous and important town, and some even believed that it was the capital for a time (not necessarily the capital of Baihu Ba, and many branches of the Ba people established their own kingdoms or tribes).

The land around Pingdu is fertile, it is a famous pasture for the Ba people, and it is the place where the country raises livestock, and it is known as "animal depression" in history. Intrepid father was once a small leader of the national ranch.

However, after all, Ba Xiu's kinship with Jiangzhou Ba Gong is already distant, and his fame mainly depends on his outstanding military exploits, so he can maintain neutrality and avoid being involved in the whirlpool of power struggles.

From the reuse of Ba Xiu, Eren, Fuke and others, it can also be seen that the subtle changes in Pakistan's employment strategy are no longer completely reborn and disciples, but unfortunately the pace is very slow, and it has not been able to reverse the continued decline of Pakistan in the future.

Without further ado, the book gets back to business.

Ba Xiu's plan to rescue the red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong did not start in Ba Xiu, but another old naughty boy Manzhi who was much more famous than Ba Xiu at this time and was well known to women and children in Pakistan.

Manzhi, a shriveled little old man, was a native of Citrus, three in his seventies at the time, and the old doctor of Pakistan retired to his home in Citrus.

Manzhi is famous because he was a famous ranger in Pakistan when he was young, and he wandered many countries, but later became one of the few scholars in Pakistan; but more importantly, because he was a pedestrian in the main palace of Ba in Jiangzhou, and he went to Chu many years ago to conquer the king of Chu in the unique way of the Ba people.

Let's talk about this old story.

At that time, although Bachu had already passed the honeymoon period, and Chu was secretly preparing to attack the salt springs of Baguo, the contradictions had not intensified as much as later, and the face was still passable.

Manzhi and his entourage arrived in Chu State, although they were received ceremoniously on the surface, but the Pakistani people clearly felt that they were once regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains people, and they became people of a big country after countless robberies and steals, just like the local tyrants who got rich overnight today, forgetting their origins and looking down on small people.

During Manzhi's entourage in Chu, one day, the king of Chu suddenly had a whim and remembered to personally invite the envoys of Pakistan.

Manzhi thought that there must be a reason, and found out that it was the envoy of Shu who had sent to Chudu, worried about the improvement of Chuba relations, and sent a few beauties. As soon as the king of Chu tried his skills, sure enough, the beauties of Shu had another style, and he remembered that the envoys of the Ba country bordering the Shu country were also in the Chu country.

At the beginning, the king of Chu planned to have two pots of stoves together, and invited Shu and Ba envoys at the same banquet, so that they could pinch each other, and he was both an audience and a peacemaker, and was persuaded by Wu Qi, a famous military strategist and reformer in the Warring States period who had just arrived in Chu, so the king of Chu had a separate banquet for Manzhi and his main entourage.

King Chu's banquet this time was originally to make an official article, and seeing that Manzhi was neither humble nor arrogant, he wanted to tease the Ba people who didn't know the height of the sky.

After a few wines, the king of Chu asked: "In addition to salt and dan, what other treasures does Ba have?"

"Great King, the treasures of my country of Ba are no better than those of Chu. If you want to talk about treasures, the salt and Dan of Pakistan are actually nothing, we Pakistani people are good at everything, that is, we love face, and we squander a few salts, boasting of the so-called three major salt springs.

"In fact, Qi, Yan, and Wu Yue are connected to the sea, and there is an inexhaustible salt water. As for Dansha, it is not something that everyone can't live without every day, where is it a treasure.

"If you want to say that there is any treasure, Pakistan really has a priceless treasure. ”

"What's that?" Chu Drop's eyes turned green.

"It's a Pakistani man like Manzhi who is not afraid of the sky, the earth, and his mother!"

King Chu nodded and asked a few more tricky questions, all of which were blocked back by Manzhi either with clever words or with righteous words.

After a few more drunken years, King Chu was still unwilling, and asked again: "Is there a beauty in Ba Country?"

When King Chu said this, Manzhi thought that Shu had sent a beauty, so he asked like this, he was unhappy, didn't think about it a little, and replied: "My country is sparsely populated and shallow, and there are no beauties like Baoguo or Zheng Wengong's two daughters. ”

The beauty of the country is well known. Zheng Wengong's daughter also has a story: when King Chu Cheng and Song Xiang fought openly, won a great victory, and passed through Zheng in triumph, Zheng Wengong sent his wife Mi Shi, that is, the sister of King Chu Cheng, to condole. King Chu Cheng saw that the two daughters of the Mi family were beautiful, so he accepted them and brought them back to be his little wife. These two nieces of King Chu Cheng turned out to be the wives of their uncles.

Manzhi was a little measured, and did not talk about the mother of King Chu Cheng and the famous beauty Mrs. Xi in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Manzhi said this. Everyone was amazed.

King Chu is a smart man, and of course he doesn't want the people present to continue to drink with the ugly things of his ancestors. Moreover, King Chu Cheng killed his brother Chu Duao and seized the throne, and King Chu did not want to mention this ancestor again.

With this blow in the face, King Chu actually swallowed it hard, smiled embarrassedly, changed the topic, and said kindly: "Manqing, you taste it, how does the fish cake ball in front of you taste?"

Fish cake balls are the famous dishes of Chu country, which are praised for eating fish without seeing fish, fish contains meat flavor, meat has fish fragrance, fragrance and tenderness, and melts in the mouth.

Manzhi Gong lowered his head, sniffed it, sat up straight, clapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful! wonderful!"

"What's the trick?"

"Thank you, King. This fish ball is a wonderful taste, and it can treat a variety of conditions, such as fiery headaches. ”

King Chu liked this famous dish very much, he was happy in his heart, and he was suspicious: "The widow has eaten it for so many years, but you just said it, I haven't heard of it, try to talk about it." ”

The minister sniffed it, and the fish smelled of the urine of a boy from Pakistan. Child's urine is a healing medicine. ”

King Chu's face changed, but he still held back.

Someone motioned to Manzhi not to say any more, but Manzhi continued: "My child in Pakistan knows the most about etiquette, and he often urinates in the river. The boy's urine flowed down from the upstream and flowed to the border of the Chu country, so the fish in the river mostly smelled of the boy's urine in the country. In addition, the water in which the fish is boiled is also flowing down from the country of Pakistan. ”

An accompanying minister of the Chu State took the lead and said angrily: "Listen to what you mean, my Chu people grew up drinking the urine of the Pakistani people? It's so rude!"

Manzhi chuckled lightly and said unhurriedly: "I didn't say that, you said it yourself." ”

King Chu finally got angry, of course he wouldn't be angry because of this joke that was not only not high-level, but really boring, and he understood at a glance that Manzhi was deliberately pretending to be vulgar, but used this topic to express his anger that he wanted to be bad before:

"It's so rude! Old stubborn! Old madman! Old horseman! The widow takes you as a guest, and the patience pretends to be crazy and stupid with you, but you deliberately provoke the widow again and again, again and again, are you not afraid that you will be killed with a sword! When the widow is angry, thousands of miles of blood are shed, and millions of corpses are ambushed, are you not afraid that the widow will send a large army to attack Pakistan?" Manzhi was over fifty years old at that time.

Manzhi got up, cleared his throat, and gave a salute, and everyone thought he was going to apologize, but they heard him say generously: "Chu has phoenix birds, Ba has white tigers, Chu has plains, Ba has high mountains, Chu has Changge, Ba has short swords, Chu has chariots, Ba has Nanzhou, Chu has strong soldiers, Ba has dead soldiers, Chu has many beauties, Ba has martyrs, Chu has fox friends, Ba has dog friends." When the soldiers come to block, the water comes to cover the earth, and when the scorched earth is scorched, the jade is burned, so why be afraid?"

Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to speak, and the rest of the people in Pakistan held two handfuls of sweat in their palms and a body of sweat on their backs, and they all looked at the expression of King Chu Chu, but saw that King Chu was thoughtful, and then said: "How many people can there be in Baguo like a man?"

"More is not more, less is not less, enough is enough. Manzhi said lightly.

"Enough, how much is it?" asked King Chu Tuo.

"Then it depends on how many idiots there are in the Chu State who plan to be enemies of Ba!"

King Chu laughed and sighed: "Even if it is a small country, it must not be humiliated. ”

The above story, as soon as it was spread by the Pakistani people, it became a legend in their hearts, so Manzhi became a household name in Pakistan, and there are many stories about him, or not his, but also added to him, even if he is old and retired, except for his wife, who thinks he loves many things and loves many mouths, everyone likes it.

That's it, the book is back to business.

Just over two months ago, the old doctor Manzhi relied on the old man and sold the old and went to Baxiu Mansion to ask for wine.

When the wine arrived, Manzhi borrowed the wine and got drunk and said: "The general is now deeply favored by the sixth prince, can he still be happy?"

"Doctor, you're drunk. ”

"It's not me who is drunk, it's you General Ba!" Manzhi said angrily.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Ba Xiu, who had always respected the old man, and was not angry.

Manzhi spoke slowly.
