In the thirty-third year of Yuanzhang, on the sixth day of the fourth month, Kuanzhou Xiongshi Gorge rushed out of a white stone, there was a jade statue of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, the jade statue was rough, but a little charm, very similar to Mo Lingfeng, as soon as the news came out, it immediately spread all over the world.

On the evening of the 10th day of the first month of April, the governors of Kuan, Ji and Wangzhou gathered in Mofu.

It was a heavy rainy day, lightning and thunder, the night was dark, and the Mofu lantern was lit in five steps, shining under the wet corridor, the storm and rain hit the roof ridge, like a drum and trumpet.

The cold air suddenly hit, invading people's bone marrow, and the front hall of Mofu was even colder, and two charcoal basins were placed in the corners of the house to dispel the cold.

Cheng Taishan took the lead in the carriage to come, Yin Bei was guarding the door, saw the carriage stopped, immediately stepped forward, held up a big umbrella, and took Cheng Taishan off the carriage.

Cheng Taishan stepped into the stagnant water in mud sandals, holding the hem of his clothes in one hand, and buried himself in the stone steps, but after a while, his knee pants were already half wet.

Walking under the verandah, he took off his mud clogs and walked under the wobbly lantern.

The wind and rain are shaking, but the Mo family can stand still, lightning and thunder, which is in line with the earth-shattering move.

He even wished that the rain would be heavier, so that the night that would go down in history would not be uneventful.

He first went to the flower hall to change clothes, wash his hands and face, and then went to the main hall.

The main hall is neat and regular, there are no flowers and plants, soft collapses, flower screens and other things, only cold and stiff tables and chairs, a sandalwood Taishi chair in the middle of the room, the backrest and armrests are connected into five screens, solemn and rigorous.

Below the Taishi chair, eight circle chairs are arranged on the left and right, and behind the circle chair is the embroidery pier.

Cheng Taishan stood in the middle, pondered for a moment, and did not sit on the east and west thrones, but sat on the second chair in the east like the early dynasty.

The next person served the refreshments and put them on the small table, Cheng Taishan picked up the teacup, took a sip first, put down the teacup, and picked up an apricot to eat.

After him, Jeju Governor Hwang Yunshu and the three arrived, but Yin Bei only greeted them at the door, and the three of them trembled in the pouring rain, and when they walked on the porch, most of their clothes were already wet.

Huang Yunshu saw a pair of guards in five steps at a glance, the guards were fully armed, and their hands were pressed on the scabbard, and they could draw the knife out of the sheath at any time.

His heart immediately lifted, and as he walked, he surveyed the situation around him—it was pitch black, and where the fire could not shine, it condensed into thick ink, and he couldn't peep into a star.

He whispered, "There's no turning back tonight." ”

The other two ignored him, buried their heads and walked straight in, also changed their clothes in the flower hall, and when they walked to the main hall, they saw that Cheng Taishan was also dressed in green clothes, sitting there eating and drinking leisurely.

With Cheng Taishan here, they all breathed a sigh of relief, Cheng Taishan smiled and invited them to sit down.

Huang Yunshu was anxious, and without saying a word, he sat down under Cheng Taishan, and the other two looked left and right, and saw that there was only one chair left in the east, and the four chairs in the west were empty, so they understood the number of seats.

The two didn't dare to sit down in front of them, so they sat straight on the embroidery pier behind Cheng Taishan, waiting helplessly.

Cheng Taishan took a bite of "old brother and brother", asked them to drink tea, and handed them a bamboo basket of cherries at the same time: "The cherries that come down from the boat are good for each one." ”

When one of them pinched a grain, he withdrew his hand and said that "over there" is forbidden, the dock is controlled, but fortunately, it is done properly, and the boat can always come back when it goes out.

Huang Yunshu swallowed cherries, spit out the kernel into the slag hopper, and echoed that the dock was full of human spirits, and he could walk when he got into the water, and he listened to the call, so the prices of salt, tea, and grain could be stabilized.

Cheng Taishan also said that the workshop was opened all over the three states, 100 yuan a day, and the state capital was prosperous, Huang Yunshu couldn't go on, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng, is General Mo going to ...... tonight To ......"

He didn't dare to speak the rest of the words.

Cheng Taishan swallowed the gossip back, wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "I don't know." ”

He put down his veil: "I only returned to Kuanzhou half a day earlier than you, I have been teaching my children at home for half a day, and I don't know more than you, of course-"

He took a sip of the teacup: "Whether it is or not, I am the one on this boat." ”

Four Wangzhou officials walked in outside the door, he turned his head to look at it, and said with a smile: "At this time, it is impossible to get off the boat, right?" ”

Huang Yunshu's head shook into a rattle: "No, I didn't mean that." ”

Then he said secretly: "Cheng Taishan looked at the thick branches and leaves, his mind was very deep, and he couldn't say anything. ”

Cheng Taishan asked the governor to sit down - Cheng Taishan didn't sit on the first seat, and they didn't have the courage to put their butts on the first seat, so they sat down silently and went to eat cherries that were difficult to resist.

Huang Yunshu was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "Brother Taishan, on this boat right now, you and General Mo are closer than us, no matter what the situation is tonight, please say a few more good words for us, we are old officials, put it in a new bottle, it is inevitable that it is out of place, and please give us more advice." ”

Cheng Taishan nodded: "Don't worry." ”

Just as everyone was about to open their mouths to express their gratitude, the sound of Jin's iron armor slapping the scabbard suddenly sounded outside the house.

Yin Nan and Nomad Qing entered with knives, sat down on the west side with a big sword, and kept silent.

Yin Nan grabbed a piece of mung bean cake, stuffed it whole into his mouth, and chewed it with his mouth closed, as if he was eating raw meat.

He Qing quietly spit out a cherry pit, and didn't dare to throw it into the slag bucket, so he could only hold the kernel in his hand, which was very tormented.

At this moment, Yin Bei walked in with a smile on his face: "Mr. Wu has arrived at the flower hall." ”

Huang Yunshu was keenly aware of the change in Yin Bei's title for Wu Jin, glanced at the other state officials, knew what to expect, quickly cheered up, and did not dare to be negligent, while Yin Nan and Nomad Qing stood up "pout".

Cheng Taishan put down the teacup, cleared his throat and stood up, standing with his hands down.

Seeing this, the others also got up.

The rain is heavy, after the house is quiet, the ears are full of rain, the water column under the eaves, rattling, the firelight is swaying in the rain, the people are like clay sculptures, one left and one right lead the way, Yin Bei walked to the door, and welcomed Wu Jin in: "Mr. Wu, everyone has arrived." ”

Wu Jin crossed the threshold, wearing a soap-colored hat and a cyan collared gown, standing in a group of people wearing the same clothes, standing out more and more from the crowd.

He walked to the first seat on the east side and stood still, smiled, and said kindly: "The war is tentative, and there are still many miscellaneous matters that have not been sorted out, colleagues, please take a seat, I will arrange them one by one." ”

In the sound of clothes rubbing, everyone was sitting in danger, and Yin Bei also sat at the head of Yin Nan.

The servant brought hot tea, Wu Jin held the tea cup, shook when his left hand opened the tea lid, and after drinking the tea, he looked at the nomadic Qing: "Xiaoyou." ”

Nomad Qing got up and arched his hand: "The last will be." ”

"From today onwards, you are the commander of the army, the Mo family army will be led by you from now on, three prisons will be set up in the three states, Yin Nan will be the military supervisor of Kuanzhou, leading 5,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, Dou Lanhua will be the military supervisor of Jeju, leading 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, and Chong Tao will be the military supervisor of Wangzhou, leading 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, and the three supervisors can recruit troops on their own, and the military registration will be handed over to Kuanzhou, and the military supervisor will not leave the garrison unless the military order is not ordered."

"Yes."

"Sit down."

Nomad Qing sat down, his face did not change, but he couldn't help but raise his head and look at people with his nostrils. (End of chapter)
