Seeing that Xiao Mu's mind had been decided, Xiao Buyi did not continue to force it, and he said again:

"Mu'er, from Huangshi County to Luoyang City, there is a flaming mountain in between, and in the flaming mountain, I have a sworn brother called the Bull Demon King. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Bull Demon King?" Xiao Mu was stunned, the last time he fought with Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan had mentioned the name of the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess.

"Yes, when you were three or four years old, the Bull Demon King also came to our Xiao family and hugged you! At that time, you were so small!" Xiao Buyi's right hand gestured to Xiao Mu's size at that time.

"Yes? I don't even remember what happened. Xiao Mu scratched the back of his head, trying to think of some things from his mind when he was three or four years old, but he didn't have any impression.

"My Niu brother is bright and upright, and his strength is extraordinary, and he is really a great hand in the Tang Empire. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and this time I'm going to the Flaming Mountain, I have a letter here, I hope you can pass it on to him!" As he spoke, Xiao Buyi took out another yellow letter from the drawer, with a few lines written on it: Brother Bull Demon King. Signed: Xiao family Xiao cloth.

Xiao Mu accepted the yellow letter and asked again: "By the way, Daddy, does that Uncle Niu have a wife named Princess Iron Fan?"

"That's right, Princess Iron Fan is a great beauty of the Tang Empire, but her temper is a little irritable, and she likes to use a banana fan to drive people away at every turn. As soon as he thought of the banana fan, Xiao Buyi couldn't help but shudder, as if he had experienced the power of the banana fan before, "When you go to the Flame Mountain, it's best not to make the princess of the iron fan angry, otherwise, you will feel better!"

"I see, Daddy. Xiao Mu nodded, thinking: Daddy said so much about the Iron Fan Princess, I don't know who will be stronger compared to the Yellow Shirt Woman?

A few years ago, he replied that he and Princess Iron Fan also gave birth to a son, Red Child, who was born with the Red Child, who was born in the Nine Reunion Spirit Realm, and was gifted. ”

Xiao Mu was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped, and he muttered: "Just born, it is the Nine Reunion Spirit Realm, that talent is simply a demon! Daddy, how old is that red child." ”

"The red boy was only six or seven years old, and when he was a little older, he began to rebel, disobeyed the control of the old cow, occupied the mountain as the king, and proclaimed himself the king of the Holy Child. Xiao Buyi knew from the letter written by the Bull Demon King before that the red boy gave the Bull Demon King a headache.

Xiao Mu was even more surprised, thinking: The six- or seven-year-old King of the Mountain is really a tiger father and no dog!

"By the way, Daddy, have you found the Wang family who secretly supports the Ye family, the Wang family, and the Ding family?" Xiao Mu remembered that when the Ye family and the Wang family invited him to join before, they specifically mentioned the Wang family.

"No, that Wang family disappeared, I heard that the people of the Wang family said that the day before, that person received a secret order from Luoyang City, so he left Futu Town and went to Luoyang. ”

Xiao Mu said "oh" and said, "I see, no wonder, this time, I didn't see that person!"

After Xiao Buyi finished talking to Xiao Mu about the Ma family and the Bull Demon King, he asked, "Mu'er, when are you going to leave?"

Xiao Mu thought about it, then stretched out five fingers and said, "Five days later, in these five days, I will help my father to complete the tail sweeping work." ”

The sweeping work is to solve the affairs of the Ye family and the Wang family, and take over the property of the two families.

After Xiao Buyi solved the crisis of the Xiao family, he swept away the remnants of the Ye family and the Wang family with a thunderous momentum, Ye Xingsoul, the head of the Ye family, Wang Xiongzhan of the Wang family, and Ye Qing and Wang Pengcheng died in battle.

As soon as the two families fell, the Xiao family rose, and there was no more strife, Futu Town would continue to be peaceful for a long time.

Soon after, Xiao Buyi issued a lot of orders, set up a large number of private schools in Futu Town, persuaded farmers to cultivate mulberry, encouraged commerce, improved the status of merchants, and advocated fair trade, so that the economic strength of Futu Town soared, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the atmosphere was excellent.

This trend has continued to Yangxin County, making Yangxin County the largest county in Huangshi County in just two or three years. Of course, that's for later.

After Xiao Mu and Xiao Buyi talked, he left Xiao Mansion and went around to inquire about Anu's news, and later, he heard that Anu went to Xianning County with the little daisy to perform, and only came back two days later.

Seeing that Anu was not affected by this battle, Xiao Mu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Mu slept for three days and three nights in a row, and his spirit recovered a lot. Before, Xiao Mu ate a large amount of a stripe of blue fruit, which caused the spiritual power to skyrocket and solved the problem of spiritual power depletion. These three days of rest not only allowed Xiao Mu to get enough rest, but also restored the internal organs and bone marrow of his body.

With a "bang", a girl in a green shirt gently pushed open the door, smiled like a flower, and said, "Young master, you are awake! You have slept for three days and three nights!"

"Really, I've slept for so long!" Xiao Mu rubbed his forehead, feeling a little painful and a little dizzy, "Hey, Anu, when did you come back?"

"The day after the young master came back, Anu also rushed back. By the way, young master, this is the morning tea I prepared for you!" Anu put the wooden plate in his hand on the table next to him, there was a bowl of soy milk on the wooden plate, and there was also a large stack of desserts, which was still Xiao Mu's favorite Songhua Cake, Osmanthus Cake.

As soon as Xiao Mu saw the sweets, his index finger moved, and his appetite suddenly increased.

"Young Master, you eat slowly!" Anu reminded, however, she was very happy to see Xiao Mu gobbling up, because she knew that the young master liked the desserts she made.

Xiao Mu didn't care about this, as soon as he saw sweets, he couldn't control himself.

"By the way, young master, you're leaving Futu Town tomorrow and heading to Luoyang City, the imperial capital, right?" Anu wanted to be sure, although he knew the answer.

Xiao Mu said vaguely: "Yes, Futu Town is not where my Xiao Mu should stay!"

"Young master, how long will it take for you to go! Half a year, a year, three years, or five years, ten years!" Anu has been in Futu Town for seven or eight years, and knows that many men in Futu Town have joined various mercenary groups in order to make a living, but this time, some people come back once in a year or two, some people come back once every three or five years, and some people never come back.

Xiao Mu swallowed the sweets stuck in his throat, and drank a large mouthful of soy milk, he patted his stomach, very satisfied, he took the towel handed over by Anu, and said: "I don't know if I go, it may be three or five years, or it may be seven or eight years!"

Xiao Mu is not sure of the time, not to mention, after participating in the Luoyang Sword Debate, it will be the selection competition of the five major colleges, and after entering the academy, he doesn't know how many years it will take to graduate. Besides, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is vast and rich, and the people are outstanding, and I don't know how long I have to practice before I can come back.

"Oh, is it?" said Anu's eyes flashed with a hint of loss. She is just a lowly slave, Xiao Mu is whatever she says, and she can only obey. Unlike Xiao Buyi, who can discipline Xiao Mu, and unlike Ma Yunqing, he is versatile, and he can use his face and surprise to retain Xiao Mu.

"Anu, have you thought about your future? The status of a dancer is low, whether it is in Yangxin County or Luoyang City. If you want, I can send you to Yangxin County, like Ma Yunqing, to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette, and the Four Books and Five Classics. In a few years, I'll let my father choose a rich kid for you!"

"No, no, no!" Anu hurriedly said, "Anu doesn't marry, Anu doesn't marry, Anu doesn't marry, Anu doesn't marry, Anu is willing to stay by the young master's side all the time." Moreover, Miss Ma was born in a large family, and it is natural for her to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Anu is just a maid, and she doesn't have that kind of non-dividing thought. If he can't be by the young master's side, Anu is willing to stay in Little Daisy and become a dancing girl!"

After saying this, Anu lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and looked like he was ready to be punished.

Xiao Mu was a little surprised in his heart, and felt that Anu had really grown a lot. From the beginning, he was obedient to Xiao Mu, to wanting to learn dance, to now knowing how to reject Xiao Mu, he will have his own truest thoughts.

Xiao Mu pulled Anu over, sank his face, and said, "Anu, raise your head, talk to the young master, don't bow your head, look into my eyes." ”

"Yes!" Anu was a little apprehensive, after all, he had just rejected the young master's arrangement.

Xiao Mu said: "Anu, you can have your own ideas, young master, I am very happy." The young master has never regarded you as a maid, as long as you are happy, no matter what you want to do, the young master will support you unconditionally!"

"Really, young master!" Anu couldn't believe it.

Xiao Mu nodded and said, "Of course it's true, young master, I have made every word, and it is difficult to chase the horse." Anu, your thoughts, young master, I understand, and the young master will not force you in the future, or make any choice for you. If you don't want to get married, you won't marry. If you want to dance, you can dance!"

"Thank you, young master!" Anu cried with joy.

For the rest of the day, Xiao Mu didn't see Anu and asked others, but no one knew about her.

Xiao Mu thought to himself: Could it be that something happened to Anu? No, now that the Xiao family is in the limelight, who dares to touch the people of the Xiao family.

Early the next morning, Xiao Mu packed his luggage and said goodbye to Xiao Buyi.

The Xiao family was standing at the door, and there were many old neighbors around them.

"Xiao Mu, leave Futu Town, and when you become famous all over the world, don't forget our old neighbors!"

"Xiao Mu, I heard that you are going to participate in the Luoyang Sword Debate this time, you must work hard, strive to get the first back, and let us also add glory!"

"Young Master Xiao, don't worry, during your absence, we will take good care of the Xiao family. ”

"Young Master Xiao, take care! remember to bring us a young grandmother back when you come back!"

When Xiao Mu heard the last sentence, he almost slipped to it.

"Xiao Mu, I can't bear you!" Xiao Xiaopang rushed over and gave Xiao Mu a bear hug, his eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse. He also had a big greasy chicken leg in his hand.

"Okay, Chubby, remember to lose weight, it's difficult to find a beautiful woman to be a wife!" Xiao Mu kindly advised.

Behind Xiao Xiaopang, there is also Xiao Ape, Xiao Jue, but there is no Xiao He.

Xiao Jue nodded towards Xiao Mu and said, "Xiao Mu, take care!"

"Thank you, Second Uncle!" Xiao Mu responded politely.

This is the first time Xiao Mu has gone far away, seeing so many relatives and friends to see him off, Xiao Mu's nose was sore, and he arched his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, goodbye, my Xiao Mu will come back!"

Xiao Mu bowed to Xiao Buyi three times and said, "Daddy, I'm leaving!"

"En!" Xiao Buyi's eyes were a little moist, he walked to Xiao Mu's side, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Mu, be careful on the road, don't fight hard when you encounter things, and run away if you can't win!"

"Well, I know, Daddy!" Xiao Mu nodded in response.

"By the way, this is something that Miss Ma Yunqing sent over early this morning. As he spoke, Xiao Buyi took out a white scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Mu.

A ripple appeared in Xiao Mu's heart, he took the scroll, bowed to Xiao Buyi, and then waved towards his relatives and friends, saying, "Everyone, we will have a meeting later!"

After Xiao Mu left Futu Town, he opened the scroll, and there was a poem on it, with beautiful handwriting, in one go:

"The cicada is poignant, the long pavilion is late, and the showers are at the beginning of the break. The tent of the capital is empty, and the nostalgia is urgent. Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked. Thinking of going to a thousand miles of smoke and waves, the twilight is heavy and the sky is wide. Affectionate parting since ancient times, it is even more cold to the Qingqiu Festival. Where do you wake up tonight? This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are a thousand kinds of styles, who can you tell them about?"
