Outside Quancheng, Mu Sheng summoned the knight guards to prepare to return to the procession, and at this time, the two guards helped the grinning Hong Ze to get on the horse of another guard.

Hong Ze had two panda eyes, the left side of his face was swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he was obviously caught and beaten by Zhang Lin.

Even so, Hong Ze still scolded in his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "What a dominatrix, he is so ruthless to his brothers and sisters of the same name, and he obviously said that he would not do it......"

Zhang Lin seemed to be aware of it, and said sharply: "Hong Ze, what did you just say?" ”

Hong Ze was excited by Zhang Lin's roar, for fear that this tigress couldn't help but attack him, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Senior sister, I just found out now that senior sister is the most beautiful woman in the world, and the first beauty of our Yuzhen Sect......"

Zhang Lin snorted coldly and said, "Count you as a kid." ”

Mu Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded Zhang Lin to say: "Senior sister, Hong Ze is still young, and he is unscrupulous, so you don't have to be so heavy-handed." ”

Zhang Lin instantly became a little bird when she heard the words, her expression was slightly aggrieved, she pulled Mu Sheng's arm, and said coquettishly: "Senior brother, I didn't do anything with him, the monk's body is very hard, this is just some skin trauma, it will be fine in a few days, in fact, we usually have a good relationship, he is my junior brother, even if he scolds me for being a tigress, dominatrix, I can't bear to be heavy-handed, I really can't bear it just now, senior brother~~~"

Hong Ze saw that the dominatrix was coquettish, and for some reason, he had goosebumps all over his body, and felt an inexplicable chill, and he couldn't see it in his heart.

Mu Sheng saw Zhang Lin's pitiful appearance, and his heart softened, especially when he heard the last coquettish voice and dragged the tail note, which instantly made his blood pressure soar......

Mu Sheng comforted with good words: "I know, Hong Ze is a little unscrupulous, you as her senior sister should teach a little lesson, but you don't want to shoot so hard next time, it's good that Hong Ze's grandfather is Elder Hong, and now I have gone down the mountain to experience my senior brother Elder Li has repeatedly told me to take good care of my junior brother Hong Ze, if every time my junior brother is beaten like this by you, it will be difficult to explain when I go back." ”

Zhang Lin saw that Mu Sheng was not blaming her, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said obediently: "Senior brother, I will pay attention next time." ”

Mu Sheng turned over and stretched out his hand to her, and said, "Come, senior sister, you and I will ride together." ”

Zhang Lin's face was flushed, and after a little hesitation, he immediately handed the jade hand to the senior brother who was in his heart.

Mu Sheng pulled the jade man on the horse and hugged him into his arms with a little force, Zhang Lin leaned his back in his senior brother's arms, and the whole person felt soft and unable to lift up a trace of strength, at this moment she just wanted to lean on her sweetheart's arms for the rest of her life.

With the neighing of the war horse, the two of them galloped into the distance......

Three days later, Mu Sheng and dozens of cavalry of the guards finally arrived at the camp of the patrol team, and the patrol men and horses had been stationed here for more than ten days.

The sergeant of the camp, the civil and military officials saw the emperor arrive, they all bowed down and saluted, the mountain shouted long live, where did Hong Ze and Zhang Lin see this meeting, and they were shocked for a while.

Mu Sheng turned over and dismounted, clapped his hands, and helped Zhang Lin, who was in a sluggish state, off the horse.

At this time, the acting left minister Gao Zhong came to report: "Your Majesty, the 30,000 elites of the Northern Army have arrived at the base camp to escort you, please Your Majesty to review the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army." ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said, "Okay, I'm going to meet the soldiers of the Northern Army." ”

At this time, Zhou Jian, the commander of the Northern Army, was full of red face and a group of generals were waiting for the emperor at the gate of the station, Zhou Jian was meritorious in stabilizing the imperial capital Qingyang, and gave him 800 households to seal the food and the marquis of Boyang, although he was only a township, equivalent to the treatment of a viscount, but he was also very satisfied, the court's feudal marquis evaluation standard was very high, and it was difficult to seal the marquis without great military merits, although it was only a township, it was also regarded as the emperor's full recognition of his stability in the capital and no big mess.

Zhou Jian, the commander of the Northern Army, stepped forward and saluted: "Minister, Captain of the Guard, meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The six lords beside Zhou Jian stepped forward in turn to salute.

"Minister, Liao Zhong, the commander of the tun cavalry, see Your Majesty'......"

"Minister, the lion rider captain Huang Fan see Your Majesty's ......"

"Minister, Tiger Rider Captain Su Bing see Your Majesty's ......"

“……”

Mu Sheng's eyes swept over the generals, and he bowed his head and said, "The generals are exempt." ”

At this time, Zhou Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have organized a review ceremony in the camp and the school, please move to watch the ceremony." ”

In the camp of the Northern Army, Mu Sheng climbed on the improvised wooden platform surrounded by all the ministers.

Commander Zhou Jianyi waved his hand, the drums and trumpets in the camp were loud, and a team of neatly dressed armor soldiers were practicing with swords and shields, and under the command of the generals, all the soldiers roared with trumpets and knives and shields, Mu Sheng nodded secretly when he saw this, worthy of being the elite of the empire.

After the armor soldier exited, he saw hundreds of heavy cavalry in armor, wearing long lances and waist ring swords, holding long lances and carrying long lances to the grass targets in the school yard.

After a small-scale exercise, Mu Sheng nodded slightly to Zhou Jian, the captain of the military academy, and said: "Well, yes, very good, the soldiers of the Northern Army have such a performance, I am very relieved, my soldiers of the Northern Army are the important weapons of the country, and the first emperor handed over to General Zhou is indeed well-intentioned." ”

Affirmed by the leader, Zhou Jianxi smiled and said: "Your Majesty's false praise, this is a matter within the scope of the micro-ministers, and the ministers will be my Dajin in the future, and they will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Mu Sheng said: "This time, I summoned you and others to come because of the wishes of the soldiers of the Northern Army who want to follow me to inspect the world. ”

When Zhou Jian heard this, he sighed and said: "Follow Your Majesty to inspect the world, if it weren't for Master Huo to make an obstacle, how could the soldiers of our Northern Army be easily excluded, thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, cut off the traitorous ministers, and clear the world, we can only be called here. ”

In the past, Prime Minister Huo Cheng, who covered the sky with one hand, has already stepped aside, and now the Son of Heaven is also the real Son of Heaven.

Mu Sheng knew that Zhou Jian was standing in line and said: "The soldiers have worked hard, let the soldiers of the Northern Army rest for a few days, and the day after tomorrow they will officially set off for Xiangcheng." ”

Zhou Jiandao: "Weichen thanked Your Majesty for his compassion for the soldiers of the Northern Army. ”

All the soldiers behind Zhou Jian also stepped forward to thank him and said, "Your Majesty Xie is sympathetic to us." ”

After Mu Sheng visited the soldiers of the Northern Army, he drove back to the royal car, because there was a little beauty waiting for him there.

After Mu Sheng got into the royal car, he saw that Sister Zhang Lin still looked like she was not giving up, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I'm here, what's wrong with you?" He looks preoccupied. ”

Zhang Lin saw Mu Sheng enter the car, obviously a little at a loss, since she saw the power of her senior brother Mu Sheng as the emperor's ten thousand respectful subordinates, she didn't dare to make a mistake easily, this is the other side of his senior brother, he is no longer the personal disciple who just came to the Yuzhen Sect to worship the mountain gate in Zhang Lin's memory many years ago.

Zhang Lin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down, and whispered, "The people's daughter greets Your Majesty." ”

Mu Sheng helplessly stepped forward to help her up, and said seriously: "Senior sister, you raise your head and look at me." ”

When Zhang Lin heard this, she carefully raised her head to look at the heroic man in front of her, only to see that his gaze at her was still so gentle, and the uneasy heart in her heart calmed down a little.

Mu Sheng stepped forward and took Zhang Lin's jade hand, stared at her eyes, and said, "Senior sister, in private, I am still your senior brother, and you are still my little junior sister, how about it?" ”

Zhang Lin was stunned for a long time before he whispered: "Senior brother~"

When Mu Sheng heard this, he smiled slightly, reached out and scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "Well, that's right, this is my little junior sister." ”

After that, he pulled the shy little sister into his arms......

A few days later, the emperor's eastern tour team set off again, Mu Sheng lifted the curtain and looked out of the car, this time with the elite of the northern army joined, especially the lion horse, tiger horse, leopard cavalry three battalions of heavy cavalry joined, the east tour team finally looked like that, its majesty was not weaker than the first emperor when he toured the world.

At the end of November, the cold wind gradually rose, it has entered the winter, at this time the eastern patrol team to Xiangcheng, Guangyang County, which was once the capital of Zheng Guo in the Warring States Period, although Zheng Guo has long disappeared, but Xiangcheng as a famous city in the north, is located in the traffic artery, or as always, it is very prosperous, and business travelers come and go.

The emperor's honor guard went to Xiangcheng, and dozens of local officials from top to bottom accompanied the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials to visit Kunshan near Xiangcheng.

Everyone went to a stone pavilion on the mountainside of Kunshan Mountain, there was a stone tablet standing in the center of the stone pavilion, and followed the emperor step by step, and explained: "Your Majesty, legend has it that in the ancient times, this Kunshan was the hermitage of the immortal monarch of the Kunwu Divine Kingdom, and the sixth eastern tour of the first emperor had specially come here to visit the immortal yuan, and climbed the mountain to carve a monument to commemorate. ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said, "I see, it's ......"

Thousands of people followed the emperor all the way to the place where the monument was carved on the high mountain, Mu Sheng turned around and looked at the fat body of Wei Tong, the county guard of Guangyang County, who was tired and out of breath when he climbed the mountain, and he had to let his entourage support him to barely move his round body along the way.

Mu Sheng quipped: "Wei Qing's family, as a county guard, you have to exercise well in the future, the imperial court handed over such an important position to you, but you are so weak, I am really worried!" ”

When Wei Tong heard this, he sweated anxiously, thinking that the emperor thought that he was not suitable to be a county guard, which meant that he was likely to be replaced.

Wei Tong gasped and confessed, "Qi Song... Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Flat... I don't usually have any other hobbies, I'm not good at beauty, and I don't... Good money, only this bite of food, the minister since he was a child has a wide stomach, the amount of food is more fierce than the average person, always feel hungry, so the minister is now so obese, it is unsightly, Your Majesty... The minister is guilty......"

With Wei Tong's round figure, the official robe was propped up, he spoke quickly and panted, and his expression was so cute and cute, which immediately caused the civil and military officials present to snicker.

Mu Sheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Wei Qing is not guilty, there is no such thing as fat crime in this court decree, I am just worried about your body, the country has entrusted you with heavy responsibilities, Wei Qing can take good care of his body in order to serve the court better." ”

Hearing that the emperor talked about the sin of fatness, the ministers couldn't help it anymore, and laughed back and forth.

Wei Tong ignored the ridicule of the ministers, and only then did he react, this is the leader who cares about his health, Wei Tong thanked him again and again, and said gratefully: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, Weichen will definitely eat less and exercise more from now on, and live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

Seeing him like this, Mu Sheng didn't say anything after exhorting him, this Wei Tong understood that among the many feudal officials in the empire, he was a local official with better political performance, Mu Sheng just reminded him to pay attention to his body, so he didn't mean anything else.

On the mountain, the first emperor left a monument, Mu Sheng, as the new monarch, naturally wanted to follow the example of the first emperor to take the stage to worship, and carved his name on the stone tablet erected by the first emperor, and visited here on a certain year, month, and day......

To retrace the path that the first emperor once walked is to show the world that he is the legitimate heir of the first emperor.
