On this day, the matter was discussed again at the court meeting, and after many days of arguing, it was time to make a decision. Lord Bingzheng Yuxuan said: "I just received the news that Peng Keng's family arrived in Xiangdu City ten days ago, and he inserted the golden scepter red festival in front of the car all the way to accept the people to kneel and worship. ”

Xiangjun Zimo, who was sitting on the throne, asked quietly, "What do you want to say?"

Yu Xuan said angrily: "In our country, such a scene must not be allowed. The people along the way should be ordered to close their homes, so that the Lord Peng Keng knows that he is bored and understands that this is not a Bamuro country. ”

Zimo nodded: "Wherever he passes, it is necessary to close the people's homes." Even if you don't give this order, there will be no scene where you will meet each other. But as a state envoy sent by Shaowu, will this gentleman see it or not, and how should he receive it?"

Lord Fuzheng Gong Yang interjected: "Of course the lord wants to see him, after all, Shaowu won the meeting of Baichuan City. And it was Peng Keng's who came, and he was accompanied by Lord Xuansha. Even if these two are not young envoys, no matter where they go to the countries of Pakistan, the monarch should be courteous, and there is no need to take the initiative to offend. ”

Yu Xuan said unhappily: "After all, they are representing the envoys of the young state, and people can go to the court, but the red festival of the golden scepter must not be brought to our court." Unless they are willing to change another flower festival to show the equal status of the two countries, not to patrol between the master and the slave. ”

Gong Yang said in the opposite tone: "Master Peng Keng's golden scepter red festival, everyone on Bayuan knows about it, you let him change a section, and who will be sent to make a request, does Lord Bingzheng want to say it himself? ...... Alas, if it weren't for the loss of the Lord in Baichuan City, there would be no need to be so embarrassed today. ”

Yu Xuan couldn't help but say angrily: "Then do what Master Fuzheng said, and all other etiquette will be according to the specifications of entertaining the envoy." It is enough for the ruler to see him and hear what he is coming for. ...... Isn't he going to make an inspection, let him go on his own inspection, and there is no need to send people to serve in the country, and there is no need to greet the city. ”

Gong Yang shook his head again and said: "How can all localities not greet it? It is necessary to entertain according to the etiquette, no matter how grand the number of ceremonies is, in the name of entertaining the masters of the immortal family, and it is enough for Mo Ti to inspect the young affairs." ”

If the court hall, only the two of them were talking, and the rest of the ministers did not speak, and even the monarch Zimo did not interject much. Fuzheng Gong Yang and Bingzheng Yuxuan seem to be arguing with each other. In fact, they sang and harmonized, and let them say both the truth and the back, and it seemed that they were going to settle things like this.

Xiangjun Zimo knew in her heart that these two people often seemed to disagree in the court on weekdays, but they were actually in the same group. Gong Yang is the new monarch who was set up by Lord Yuxuan, who was in charge of the country at that time, and later abdicated because of the meeting of Baichuan City, and enjoyed the respect of the ten lords in the country, and he could not worship the lord in person.

It is said that after Gong Yang abdicates, he should no longer meddle in state affairs, otherwise it will be very embarrassing for the next monarch. But with the support of Bingzheng Yuxuan. Gong Yang abdicated and did not retreat from the dynasty, and even deigned to serve as Lord Fuzheng. These two people, one is in charge of government affairs and the other is in charge of military power, and they clearly want to override the monarch and continue to control state affairs.

Zimo was still able to sit firmly on the throne of the monarch after the meeting of Baichuan City. On the one hand, it was supported by the local forces of the three cities of the remnant realm, and on the other hand, it was also supported by Mr. Sanshui, the sect leader of Bujin Mountain. But from this, we can also see the internal contradictions of the Xiangmuro State today, thinking that when Fan Chong of the Fan Muru Kingdom was in power, the abdicated ancestor Fan Kang was at home. Fan Chong could not allow him to influence the government anymore.

The ministers were deliberating, and suddenly someone came to report - Lord Peng Keng's party had arrived in the territory of Xiangmuro Country yesterday!

The monarchs and ministers in the hall were all surprised. How could it come so quickly? According to the original estimate, Peng Keng's and Xuan Sha would have to walk for three months on the road, so they would discuss countermeasures here unhurriedly. But today's Xiangmuro country news is too closed, and the means of communication from the outside world are limited, so Huwa changed the waterway after leaving Xiangcheng and arrived at the border within ten days.

Bing Zheng Yuxuan hurriedly asked: "Are they blocked at the border pass?" It is no wonder that there is this question, how to meet Peng Keng's order has not yet been issued, during the confrontation between the two armies, the customs of the Xiangmuro State must not let people in, and the border guards will not obey the orders of Ba Jun Shaowu.

Unexpectedly, the messenger replied: "Lord Peng Keng's arrived by water, landed in front of the customs defense, was greeted by the garrison of Ba Mu country, and then directly passed through the customs defense ...... of our country."

Xiangjun Zimo also changed color and said: "What! Before the king's order arrived, Guan Fang directly let them in?"

Before the messenger finished speaking, he hurriedly explained: "Lord Peng Keng's family came to the front of the pass by car, and he did not report the identity of the envoy, but he showed Mr. Sanshui's token, claiming to be invited by the sect master of Sanshui to visit Bujin Mountain. ...... After they entered, they put away their carriages and horses, unfolded a divine boat, and flew to Bujin Mountain, and the defenders couldn't stop it!"

Everyone was stunned, they were discussing how to deal with Lord Peng Keng's party, and before the countermeasures could be arranged, the other party didn't need to wait for the results of the discussion here, the people had already come, which caught the monarch and ministers of the Prime Minister's room off guard. Peng Keng's status as a state envoy was obviously that he was invited by Mr. Sanshui again? After he entered the country, he did not come to the palace, but flew directly to Bujin Mountain.

Zimo immediately sent someone to Bujin Mountain to inquire about the details, but before the people here set off, the people sent by Mr. Sanshui arrived at the palace. The sect master of Sanshui invited Xiangjun Zimo to go to Bujin Mountain, and it was said that there was something important to discuss, but what was going on, there was no detailed explanation, in short, let Zimo go first.

Zimo is not only the monarch, but also the personal disciple of Mr. Sanshui, and immediately ended the court meeting and rushed to Bujin Mountain, with full of doubts and confusion? Lord Bingzheng Yuxuan was even more uneasy, I don't know what the hell Peng Keng's family was doing when he ran to Bujin Mountain, of course, he also went together.

......

The tiger baby suddenly changed to the waterway, came too fast, and flew directly to Bujin Mountain after entering the Xiangdi, and the news transmission methods of the Xiangmuro country were a little unable to keep up, so the scene at the court meeting appeared.

The Bujin Mountain Dojo is very large, and it was rebuilt on the ruins of a piece of Xianjia Cave Mansion, with a total of nearly 100 disciples. Huwa and the others came by flying boat and landed directly outside the mountain gate. Such a gorgeous flying artifact also opened the eyes of the disciples of Zhongbu Jinshan, and Mr. Sanshui personally greeted him in front of the mountain gate.

The tiger baby did not fly high in the sky, and she was also paying attention to everything she saw along the way. As Fan Chong said, the remnants of the Xiangmuro country are mountainous, and there is not much plain land suitable for farming, and many of them are terraced fields built with stones along the foot of the mountain, much like the scene in the area of Gongshan Village on the outskirts of Longma City.

The local production in the fields is probably only enough to wrap the stomach, but relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, you can also collect all kinds of mountain goods and hunt all kinds of prey on weekdays, but you can barely get enough food and clothing. In terms of the prosperity of people, this place is far worse than the area around Badu City. They are now trapped by a large army within a radius of 700 miles, cut off from communication with the outside world, and have to support a large army to fight the border day and night, and the burden on the people is indeed very heavy.

However, from the perspective of topography, this force is indeed not easy to attack, and the cost of launching a large army to conquer is very high, and the pressure of logistics is also very heavy.

When you enter the sky above Bujin Mountain, you feel different, and the beautiful mountains and rivers are refreshing. Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is not suitable for mortals to live, the road between the mountains and mountains is difficult to travel, and there is no place suitable for cultivating the countryside and establishing a village, only suitable for the world's masters to live in seclusion and repair, and to build a cave dojo.

Monks with supernatural powers, of course, are different from ordinary people, otherwise how could they often be called "immortals". It is not as good as this step in the depths of the Jinshan, it is a place that cannot be governed by the countries of Pakistan and Yuan, and there is no need to govern it. Whether it is an agrarian civilization or a nomadic civilization, even in the ancient barbarian era, the truly meaningful territory established by people is a land suitable for living and exploiting by ordinary people.

Even if the mountains are located in the middle of the country, they cannot achieve actual rule, and the monks establish a sect dojo here, which is equivalent to being free from the world. Take Shaowu as an example, even if he wants to conquer the remnants of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, what he will take is those three cities, which will not affect the Zongmen Dojo of Bujin Mountain, and it is impossible for the army to capture this place.

However, this place cannot be said to be completely unrelated to the world, the monks in the mountains are also from outside the mountains, and many disciples of Bujinshan are now serving in the Xiangmuro country and are from the major tribes in the country. Even the sect of Bujin Mountain is, in a sense, a place to cultivate talents outside the mountain. If the remnants of the Xiangmuro Kingdom are annexed by the Bamuro Kingdom, the situation of Bujinshan will also change.

Not far from Mr. Sanshui's Qingxiu Cave Mansion, there is a clear waterhole in the mountain. There is a waterfall above the waterhole, and a stream joins on the left and right sides. At the bottom of the pool, another waterfall pours out, and after flowing out of the mountain, it is the source of a river on the Ba Yuan. The tiger baby came by boat, and it was along the river that she arrived at the border of the remnants of the Xiangmuro country.

This pond is formed by the confluence of three rivers in the mountain, and Mr. Sanshui took this as its name. The hall where Bujin Mountain honors the weekday meeting is built on the left side of the downstream waterfall. When Zimo and Yuxuan arrived, Mr. Sanshui had already led all the disciples in the door to receive Master Peng Keng's party, and the guests and hosts sat down to talk happily.

The Golden Scepter Red Festival of Weizhen Bayuan did not appear on this occasion, and the tiger baby and Xuanyuan sat upright in the hall, and the vine gold and vine flower stood behind them. They talked to Mr. Sanshui about the grand event of Baichuan City that year, and talked about what they had seen and heard at the Pengshan celebration, but they did not mention the state affairs of the Ba Mu Kingdom and the Xiang Mu Kingdom.

When she saw Zimo, Huwa got up and saluted: "It turns out that Xiangjun has arrived." When Baichuan City said goodbye, and now we meet again in Bujin Mountain, it seems that you and I are really destined!" This is not the etiquette of the envoy to meet the king, but the greeting between Taoist friends.

Zimo had to return the greetings and listen to the elder's chat, but the more she listened, the more puzzled she became. The Sanshui Sect Master and the visiting guests talked about spiritual matters, and their attitude was very respectful, which was completely the atmosphere of monks worshipping the mountain. chatted for a long time, but Huwa never mentioned the intention of the envoy to the country, as if there was no such thing at all.
