Chapter 11 Shangguan Riding the Wind
Mu Yi didn't expect it, Gu Zhiyun didn't expect it, neither of them thought of it.
Mu Yi is just that, he himself comes from a remote border town in the north of Sister Prefecture, Mu Yi doesn't know what his ancestors are, and Mu Yi's father died early, so he didn't tell him much about their family.
In Mu Yi's memory, his father may have held an official position in a certain town in Qingdu, and later lived in seclusion in Qingyang Town for some reasons that Mu Yi did not know, not even in Qingyang Town, but only in a remote mountain forest on the edge of Qingyang.
Mu Yi knows very little about his mother.
For Mu Yi, Gu Zhiyun also knows very little. Gu Zhiyun didn't know much about Mu Yi, who had suddenly risen in the army, even if he had been his subordinate before, but he didn't know anything about Mu Yi's identity and background.
The only thing that can be explained may be that Mu Yi is unusually young, and he has just reached the age of twenty this year, and compared to his young age above Jun Tian, his cultivation that does not match his age is extremely eye-catching.
On the battlefield of Fengdu, Xiao Sui also began to pay attention to Mu Yi because of his age and cultivation.
Just when entering the gate of Ziguidu, when the soldiers guarding the gate saw Mu Yi's customs clearance documents, they only said one sentence, "My family will invite Major General Mu to move to the mansion." ”
Subsequently, another soldier led Mu Yi and Gu Zhiyun to the capital of Zigui.
Five years ago, when the war broke out, Shangguan Chengfeng led the troops to the east, and joined forces with the Jizhou army to resist the attack of the combined forces of Bozhou and Yangzhou in Haodu; ”
Gu Zhiyun on the side told Mu Yi about the situation of Shangguan riding the wind in the capital of Zigui.
"Not long ago, the general who recovered Yundu but this sister returned to the capital Shangguan Chengfeng?" Mu Yi asked.
"It was indeed him, Shangguan rode the wind and soldiers to make dangerous moves, attracting the enemy's attention with the main force of the army, while he led his guards to climb Yundu by night, defeated the soldiers defending the city, opened the city gate, and routed the enemy army in Yundu in one fell swoop. Gu Zhiyun said again.
Thinking of the magnificent city walls of the wind capital, it is also terrifying to stand on the top of the city wall and look down, let alone climb on it.
Mu Yi stood on the wall of the wind capital more than once and looked down, and now that he thinks about it, he also feels that he admires this Zigui Capital. Even if there is a high level of cultivation and the equipment used to climb the city, it is not impossible if you have to go up to the city wall, but there are few people who have the courage to do so.
"This Zigui general is indeed heroic, and he dares to climb the walls of the capital. Mu Yi exclaimed.
"Aren't you also bold? At the beginning, a little second lieutenant dared to climb down the Jedi Rift to surprise the enemy, and now I think you are really tired of being crooked. Gu Zhiyun stared at Mu Yidao.
"That's different, I grew up at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley, and I know a lot about the terrain below. Also, I climb a lot, so there's nothing to be surprised about. Mu Yi waved his hand.
"I don't know why this Zigui General wants to see me?" Mu Yi asked Gu Zhiyun.
"Who knows? Gu Zhiyun teased.
"But then again, there are only two sons in the king today, the second son is still young, and there is nothing brilliant, but this Zigui general is the eldest son, with great military achievements, young and promising, no accident, the future sister state throne will be in the bag of Shangguan Chengfeng. Gu Zhiyun said,
"Therefore, you can be summoned by Shangguan Chengfeng this time, which will be of great help to your future career. ”
Mu Yi doesn't care about these, what career, what future, for Mu Yi is not as good as living in the present, who can say clearly what will happen in the future?
Gu Zhiyun knew what he was thinking when he saw Mu Yi's expression.
"You don't care, others can't get such an opportunity if they want to, it's good that you have such an opportunity delivered to your door. Gu Zhiyun said again.
Regarding Gu Zhiyun's words, Mu Yi had his own thoughts in his heart, and he didn't think much about it.
The streets of Ziguidu are the same as those of all the capital towns of Juntian, wide and straight, and the pedestrians on it are like mountains and seas, showing a prosperous scene.
After walking for a while, Mu Yi finally came to the capital's mansion.
The capital is not very luxurious, hidden in the surrounding buildings, because Zigui is located in the hinterland of the sister state, so the defense of the palace is not very tight; at least on the surface, as for the inside, it is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Entering the mansion, under the leadership of people, Mu Yi was taken to the back garden of the mansion, while Gu Zhiyun was left in the front hall to wait.
The back garden of the house is also very extensive, with all kinds of rare flowers and rare plants covering the entire garden, and even the air exudes some unknown floral fragrance.
Shuttling through the cobblestone path in the garden, Mu Yi saw an octagonal pavilion above a turquoise lake in the distance, and a person was sitting in the pavilion. That should be Zigui Metropolitan Shangguan riding the wind.
"Major General Mu can go over on his own, and Shangguan will wait in the pavilion. The man who led the way whispered, and then walked away.
After a slight hesitation, Mu Yi walked towards the pavilion in the lake.
Shangguan Chengfeng sat alone at the table, there was a purple sand teapot on the table, two teacups, one of which was steaming wisps of heat, as soon as he approached, the refreshing fragrance of tea wafted into Mu Yi's nose.
"Feng Du Xiao followed Du Shuai's account, and Mu Yi saw Shangguan General. Mu Yi saluted at Shangguan Chengfeng's back.
Shangguan in front of the table heard the sound, slowly stood up from the table, and turned around.
What caught Mu Yi's eyes was a face in his thirties, a square face with Chinese characters, thick and thick eyebrows slanted back, and a resolute expression at a glance, completely like a battle-hardened man.
"Major General Mu doesn't have to be polite, today is just an invitation from our private friends, and you don't have to take the red tape above the officialdom in the army to heart. Shangguan Chengfeng said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Shangguan. Mu Yi said again.
Under the perception, Shangguan Chengfeng's whole body qi and blood were condensed, and his cultivation had reached the peak of perfection. The style of watching the officials riding the wind is completely open-minded.
Although it is a little less sophisticated than those sleek and tricky old foxes, it also has its own unique temperament.
"Major General Mu, please take a seat. Saying that, Shangguan Chengfeng picked up the teapot on the table and personally got a cup of tea for Mu Yi.
Mu Yi got up and thanked him.
Sitting down again, Shangguan rode the wind and said,
"Major General Mu bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield of Fengdu, with outstanding achievements, and he has earned the meritorious service of Major General at a young age. ”
"Shangguan will have won the award, how can the mere record be compared with Shangguan Du's outstanding record on the battlefield of Yundu. Mu Yi said.
"Major General Mu is too modest, and it is a great blessing to have a young talent like Major General Mu in Sister State. Shangguan rode the wind and said.
"I don't know if Major General Mu can have a marriage match? Among the sisters, there are countless ladies in the boudoir to be married, if not, I can introduce a good match for Major General Mu for my brother. Shangguan Chengfeng suddenly asked.
Mu Yi was stunned, and he couldn't adapt to Shangguan Chengfeng's jumping thinking.
"I haven't thought about this yet. Mu Yi said embarrassedly.
"Haha! How can my sister state boy not have a good wife to keep his family, Major General Mu should also consider thinking about his life's events. Shangguan Chengfeng laughed.
This joke undoubtedly greatly harmonized the tense atmosphere between the two and eliminated the estrangement between the two when they met for the first time.
Outside the pavilion, the lake is green, a few blue lotus flowers in the lake stretch and spread on the water surface, and the golden and red carp are tumbling and fluttering in the water, splashing a circle of splashes.
Subsequently, Mu Yi and Shangguan Chengfeng had a very happy conversation, Bogu talked about the present, Kyushu customs and customs, but did not have too much to do with the current war situation.
However, during this period, because Mu Yi had limited knowledge and didn't know much about the world of Kyushu, he basically listened, and Shangguan Chengfeng was talking.
For Shangguan Chengfeng's profound knowledge, Mu Yi is also full of admiration. After a conversation with Shangguan Chengfeng, Mu Yi gained a lot, not only to understand the customs of Juntian Kyushu, but also to have a preliminary understanding of the future heir to the throne of Sister Prefecture.
In Mu Yi's view, this heir is open-minded, talkative, and both civil and military, and intelligent, and may be an enlightened king for the people of Sister States in the future.
Time was in a hurry, when Mu Yi retired to Shangguan Chengfeng,
Shangguan Chengfeng said: "Major General Mu is going to my sister capital to report on work, but you must appreciate the prosperous style of my sister state's royal capital." ”
"Definitely, Shangguan will please stay, and thank you for the invitation below. ”
Mu Yi got up and thanked Shangguan Chengfeng.
Looking at Mu Yi's figure gradually disappearing in the garden, Shangguan stood silent for a long time.
At this moment, a palace beauty walked into the gazebo.
"What does the general say of this?" said the palace beauty lightly.
"This son is free and indifferent by nature, unwilling to be restrained, and does not pretend to be about external objects, and it is difficult to see what is in his heart. Shangguan rode the wind and stared at the empty garden, as if he was distracted.
"However, compared to this son's temperament, I value his cultivation talent more, and there are few people who have reached the peak of perfection at the age of a weak crown, and this Major General Mu has the capital to impact the realm of returning to the truth. ”
"Doesn't the general often say that when the manpower is finally exhausted, even if a person's cultivation is high, he is trapped in thousands of troops, he will still die. The palace beauty said again.
"That being said, but a person is strong in itself, and this is also a kind of capital. Shangguan muttered in the wind.
Mu Yi naturally didn't know anything about what happened later in the back garden, and of course he didn't hear the conversation between Shangguan Chengfeng and the palace beauty. I don't know what Shangguan Chengfeng said about him.
But these are not important to Mu Yi, in Mu Yi's opinion, it really doesn't matter how others feel about him, what matters is how he sees himself, how he evaluates himself, and even how he treats every day.
