The people around him gradually became familiar with him, and no one underestimated him as a scholar, especially when he opened his bow and shot arrows, he was almost dumbfounded.

Hu Xiao'er was about to become his right-hand man, and once asked him quietly: "I heard someone say that you are the adopted son of the county government, and you are still a high school jinshi, why did you become like this?" Didn't they say that the county government was gone? ”

Mu Changzhou said: "I won't mention my affairs in the future. ”

Hu Xiao'er choked and muttered: "Why don't you want to mention it after winning the Jinshi......"

Everything seems to be going well, but I always wake up in the middle of the night from a dream.

In the dream, it was a long night in the county mansion, and the heads of the county lord and his brothers were cut off, and every time they woke up, they were sweaty and thin.

slept in the tent, and even Hu Xiao'er was woken up several times, and finally couldn't help but wake him up one night: "Why do you keep dreaming, and you always muttering about your brother's father or something!" If others want to harm you, it's best to wait for you to fall asleep. ”

Mu Changzhou opened his eyes, sweated, and said in a low voice: "If you find me dreaming in the future, you will splash me up with cold water." ”

Hu Xiao'er wondered: "Why? ”

Mu Changzhou said: "Just do it." ”

Hu Xiao'er agreed.

Since then, there has been an extra bowl of cold water in the shop, and as long as he finds him dreaming, Hu Xiaoer will wake him up.

After more than a dozen times, he woke up from his sleep and heard Hu Xiao'er tell him in surprise: "I really haven't seen you dream!" ”

What's more, one of his hands pressed Hu Xiao'er's shoulder fiercely.

The surprise on Hu Xiao'er's face turned into surprise again: "You don't even relax when you fall asleep!" ”

Mu Changzhou really didn't dream of that night anymore, and even when he went to sleep, he was vigilant and vigilant. He can't have weaknesses, he can't have shortcomings, it's just a dream, and it has to be erased.

Only by completely erasing the past can we gain a firm foothold here.

Occasionally, when he heard someone mention the county government in private, he would force himself to listen.

Finally, when he heard about the death of his family, he could be indifferent and as cold as an outsider.

Only when I see the scars left on my body in the bath, twisted and entangled, ugly and terrible, will I remember the past, until I am disgusted.

But it's nothing, it's nothing more than what needs to be done......

Half a year has passed, and the enemy troops on both sides are still invading in small groups, but they are not completely attacking, as if they are also allowing all the governors in Liangzhou City to fight.

On that day, Mu Changzhou took more than a dozen people out to patrol for the first time, deliberately going west, and made a big circle.

It has long been heard that another resistance is nearby.

After a while, I saw a few people coming on horseback, led by a young man, thin and thin, wearing a military uniform.

Mu Changzhou asked Hu Xiao'er to take the others to wait in the back, and walked over alone.

The other party stopped when he saw him: "Are you still alive?" It was Zhang Junfeng of the Zhang clan of the wealthy clan in Hexi, "I thought you were dead too." ”

"I'm not dead, I'm alive and well." Mu Changzhou said.

Shuttling through the barracks every day, diligent in training and practicing martial arts, and even having to eat a few more bites of food, he must live well.

Zhang Junfeng asked the others to step back, and hurriedly dismounted and approached: "The Zhang family was transferred at that time, what happened to the county mansion?" When I learned that you were back, I wanted to go to the house to celebrate your high school, but how did it become like this? ”

He is one of the few children of a local family who has a relationship with Mu Changzhou. Mu Changzhou didn't answer and asked: "Who are you following now?" ”

Zhang Junfeng snorted coldly: "What to follow whom, now it is very chaotic, the winner is the king, and in the end it depends on who has to be the manager." ”

"Then why not go with me?"

Zhang Junfeng was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Mu Changzhou said: "In such a chaotic situation, shouldn't the Zhang family do anything? I heard that the Zhang family was also injured this time, so follow me, you can revitalize the Zhang family, and you can take power, why not? ”

Zhang Junfeng looked at him in surprise: "You have changed a lot. ”

Dressed in a simple Ubud uniform, the person is darker and stronger, but it seems that people have become unrecognizable.

Mu Changzhou only asked, "How?" ”

Zhang Junfeng hesitated for a moment, and then hugged his fist at him: "My Zhang family doesn't want that group of people to manipulate Hexi ......"

All the governors and generals of other states crowded in Liangzhou were sorted out in detail and recorded on a piece of jute paper, arranged by Zhang Junfeng, and sent to his eyes.

Mu Changzhou sat by the campfire in the camp, looked at one, burned one until everyone remembered it.

The governor who they elected to consul the army had already been killed, and several of them were killed in open and secret battles.

It's really cheap for them, so they died.

Mu Changzhou got up, glanced at the undisciplined barracks in front of him, walked out, and beckoned to Hu Xiao'er who was waiting by the camp gate.

Hu Xiao'er had already waited with people who were willing to follow him, and took advantage of the night to go with him.

The sky was dark, and in the wilderness, the two teams were fighting.

One side has few people, and it seems that it has been ambushed by the other side, and it looks like it is about to be swallowed by ambushes.

According to the news given by Zhang Jun, Mu Changzhou waited nearby with people, and waited until the side with fewer people at this time was almost unable to hold on, and waved everyone to come over.

The ambush soldiers did not expect them to have helpers, and in a panic, they quickly abandoned their armor and left.

The rescued soldiers and horses hurriedly asked who came, the leader was a middle-aged man, with a majestic figure, and a middle-aged woman beside him, who was actually a husband and wife.

Mu Changzhou approached and greeted the two with a fist salute: "Centurion Mu Changzhou." ”

The middle-aged man seemed stunned for a moment: "Mu Changzhou? You are ......"

The middle-aged woman next to him also looked uncertain, and looked at him in surprise: "You have become a centurion?" ”

Mu Changzhou raised his head: "Yes, I am Mu Changzhou, the adopted son of the county government." The tone was so cold that it sounded like he was talking about someone else.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and the man asked in a strange tone, "Do you know who I am?" Why come to our rescue? ”

"I have no way out, I can only lead the troops to vote, I have heard the name of General Liang Tongfu, compared with other governors, General Liang is the most worthy of refuge."

The man will be suspicious: "Why do you say that?" ”

Mu Changzhou smiled on his lips: "The general is strong, and he is already the general of Liangzhou, so he should be the commander." He clasped his fists again and saluted the two, "I have seen the chief steward, the chief steward's wife." ”

The man's eyebrows suddenly stretched, and his wife next to him was even more so, and he smiled almost instantly, and the joy between his eyebrows and eyes was irrepressible.

Liangzhou general Liang Tongfu, wife Liu. Mu Changzhou looked at the two with a smile, a general who started his family with his wife's mother's soldiers and horses, both husband and wife are keen on power, but no one is available, not to mention that they have a stubborn illness and have no children under their knees, they are the best candidates to take refuge.

The most important thing is that he is the general who has been following the old boss for many years.

The county prince said that it was the generals around the old boss who leaked the news.

This is the last news left to him by the county prince, and the people who betrayed the trust of the old boss and betrayed the county mansion are the two in front of him.

"Alas, you really have no way out, so stay and have a look." Liu opened his mouth, probably because the lady in charge was still smiling, but looking at him as if she was looking at an eagle dog.

"Thank you, Mrs. Steward." Mu Changzhou lowered his eyes, but felt that they were a rotten ladder that he had climbed up.

Before he can be fully established, someone needs to stand in the way and get the position of steward for him.

He can endure, as long as he can be firmly nailed into Hexi, step by step to gain power, until the last step......

The chaos lasted for a whole year, and there were constantly governors or generals who were killed, or killed in battles, or by their subordinates, but all of them were attributed to fighting the enemy and dying, fooling the court.

Mu Changzhou helped Liang Tongfu charge into battle and make suggestions, one by one to get rid of the dissidents who tried to compete with him for the position of chief manager, and he climbed higher and higher a little and sat down to the deputy general.

The more time passes, the more they taste the sweetness, and they even begin to be inseparable from themselves.

Until a cold winter day, Hu Xiao'er came to him excitedly and said, "Have you heard? The remaining few are all cowardly, let's choose the right person, there will be a manager Liang soon, you will definitely follow the promotion! ”

Mu Changzhou stood in front of the barracks and said to him, "At that time, I will appoint you as the head." ”

Hu Xiao'er collapsed: "How can it be a fan?" ”

Mu Changzhou smiled: "You have no background, and you are vulnerable to targeting all the way with me, it is safest to lead only one head, but I will let you actually command a cavalry battalion." ”

Hu Xiao'er's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's decided!" ”

The last few governors really confessed, and the rest of the generals also surrendered one after another.

A fire of ambition has been burning in Liangzhou for so long, and it has finally been extinguished.

At night, Mu Changzhou took a few people to a cemetery in the wilderness and dug up random and sloppy tombs.

The sage ordered to bury the county government, but the group of people were perfunctory, and under the pretext that the war was not over, they were not allowed to be inspected by the Central Plains officials, so they were buried here casually.

Mu Changzhou quietly moved the grave, and there was no trace of anger.

On the second day, he took the lead and began to purge Hexi.

Those who were defeated and captured in the battle, rebel generals, deputy governors, governors, and old officials of Liangzhou were pushed to the front one by one, beheaded with a knife, and beheaded.

Anger is useless, only sending them back to the West is the most useful.

Outside the cleaning field, among the soldiers and horses, it seems that Linghu Tuo's figure flashed.

Mu Changzhou looked over, and Ling Hu Tuo stood behind a group of soldiers, swept the blood on the ground, and glanced at him a few times, his eyes disdainful.

Zhang Junfeng followed behind him and whispered: "He is the only one left in the Linghu family, why don't you win it all together?" ”

Mu Changzhou squinted slightly: "He is not familiar with me, he will not easily believe me, and he is too upright, and if he is too rigid, he will be broken." Don't ignore him in the future, I'm going to keep him as a pawn. ”

Zhang Junfeng said: "But he seems to be dissatisfied with you." ”

"Then be dissatisfied, and the more dissatisfied, the better."

With his background in the Linghu family, in this Liangzhou, where enemies are everywhere, the more dissatisfied he is, the more likely he is to live.

At least he moved in time to the Central Plains officials, and he saved himself once, and if necessary, he would spare his life.

"How are you going to use him?" Zhang Junfeng asked.

Mu Changzhou didn't say anything, he only glanced at it from a distance, and his tone was indifferent: "He is the person who is most like the county prince and the person who is most like my eldest brother......"

After more than half a year, the Central Plains came to appoint, and the governors of several states jointly recommended Liang Tongfu as the new governor and named Liu as the county lady.

Almost at the same time, the enemy troops on both sides completely retreated, and even small groups of harassment were gone.

Mu Changzhou felt something, in that accident, maybe the enemy was not only inside, but also outside......

The Governor's Mansion began to expand in great purity.

He was summoned to the house alone as soon as possible.

Liu Shi held a piece of silk cloth and smiled inexplicably: "This was obtained from the Liangzhou Government Office with great difficulty, you have a great contribution to assist the governor, but you can't go out, and there is no need to mention the affairs of the county mansion in the future, so it is better to stay in the governor's mansion." ”
