When night falls, Baiyun City is lit up with thousands of lights, illuminating the streets and reflecting the endless starry sky, which seems quiet and peaceful, and there is no dispute with the world.

Mu Li and Mo Xiao lived in an inn, opened the window to watch the night view, only to see that thousands of homes were brightly lit, and people were still coming and going on the street, and the shouting never stopped.

Even this inn is still full of people, full of guests from other places, gathering together at the moment, drinking and talking, from astronomy and geography to small towns, everything is discussed.

"In the past few days, people from all over the world have gone to Nanyang City to watch the ceremony, and Baiyun City, as a must-pass place, has really gathered a lot of people from other towns. Mo Xiao sighed, holding a scroll in his hand, and tirelessly reading, but he was also affected.

"After all, the throne of Zhennan is high and powerful, and on behalf of the imperial court, he controls southern Xinjiang, and invites people from all over the world to open the altar to worship the heavens, and people from all walks of life must watch the ceremony to accumulate luck. ”

"But the fortune is so illusory, even if it is a bachelor in the capital Jixia Academy, I am afraid it is difficult to explain. ”

"The implications of this matter are too far-reaching, and we can't just go there. Mu Li said lightly, and then said: "But looking at the scene of Baiyun City today, it can be seen that the country of Dawu is peaceful and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. ”

"What Brother Li Mu said is extremely true, but you also know that the territory of the Great Wu Kingdom is endless, there are many large states, and there are countless battles, especially at the border gates. ”

"That kind of situation, let alone us, after all, the world is big, what is the use of one person's words, even if you are Your Majesty, you can't clean it up. ”

"Haha, the two of us are far away, the general trend of the world, someone is in charge. However, didn't the ancient sages also say that 'the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband', and it is also a cultivation for scholars to care about national affairs. ”

"Brother Mo Xiao's vision is far-sighted, amazing. ”

......

On the second day, the sky was clear, people came and went, and two teenagers in the bustling crowd strolled through the streets, looking around and experiencing the charm of the small town.

There are 10,000 households in Baiyun City, and the streets are paved with quaint blue bricks, criss-crossed, spacious and long. Many of the city's huge trees have sected, some of which have even withered, adding to the ancient charm of the town.

Crowds of people come and go, and the streets are lined with shops and stalls, attracting the eyes and curiosity of strangers.

Mo Xiao stared at a restaurant in front of him at this time, and was very happy He immediately pulled Mu Li straight there, and said, "Take you to a good place." ”

Mu Li shook his head, can you know that this guy is going to drink again. I had no choice but to follow.

"Shopkeeper, two jugs of fine wine. I'm getting a good pot of tea for my brother. Mo Xiao shouted, although he is a young scholar, he attaches great importance to drinking, and he can be said to be a little drunkard.

"Okay, the two sons wait a minute. Our shop has 10 years of aging daughter red, high-quality Pu'er. ”

The shopkeeper greeted, skillfully threw a black towel on his shoulder, and sped up his pace to go to the inner room to serve tea and wine.

Mu Li looked around, full of people eating and drinking, there was no shortage of young people like the two of him, there were martial artists, and there were also literati and scholars. They feasted, chatted, and seemed laid-back.

Mu Li saw the scene at this moment, but he felt something, every place has its own uniqueness, he has stayed in Yizhou City until now, and he has seen a lot of noble people in brocade clothes. This is the first time I traveled to a different place, but I met all kinds of people, all of whom are different.

This feeling is like the red dust experience mentioned in the book, far away from the rivers and lakes.

Not long after, the shopkeeper brought a pot of tea and a jar of wine, and Mo Xiao couldn't wait to open the altar and drink it happily.

"Why is Brother Mo Xiao so addicted to alcohol. Mu Li drank a cup of tea and asked slowly.

"Haha, this matter has been going on for a long time, but I don't know where to start, but I've been drinking it for many years. I remember practicing martial arts when I was a child, and my teacher gave me wine, saying that it was the essence of heaven and earth, and it was advisable to drink more to strengthen the body. ”

"Brother Mo Xiao is actually proficient in martial arts, it is really amazing, both civil and military, a young genius, but your teacher is also strange. Mu Li's face was slightly surprised.

"That's so big that I don't dare to do it, it involves two places, but nothing is accomplished, and none of them are outstanding. ”

"Too humble, Brother Mo. ”

"Really, Brother Li's literary talent is much higher than mine, and he is familiar with ancient books, which I am far from being able to do as for martial arts, if it were not for Brother Mu's physique, otherwise he would be extremely outstanding. ”

"I don't know how much Brother Mo Xiao's martial arts cultivation is. "Mu left the mouth, Mu has a lot of martial arts masters, and has seen ancient records.

The combat power of martial arts is far beyond ordinary people, the power is incomparable, like the power of a giant elephant, it is a master of hundreds of enemies, thousands of enemies, and ten thousand enemies on the battlefield. Also known as a monk by the world!

This kind of person is the real main force of the army of the Great Wu Kingdom. His eldest brother Mu Zhixuan is like this, he is young and brave, he is a thousand enemies on the battlefield, and he was named a young general by the imperial court, and now a few years have passed, and he may even have stepped into a more powerful martial arts realm.

Thinking of this, Mu Li was stunned, and he missed his eldest brother Mu Zhixuan, who went to the border to fight, and now he hasn't returned home for a few years, and he doesn't know if he is okay. When he was a child, his parents were tired of clan affairs, and the one who loved him the most was his eldest brother.

"The cultivation is too low, don't say it, and have a drink. At this time, Mo avoided answering, only raised his wine glass, a cup of belly, and was personable. Mu Li chuckled, didn't ask again, raised his glass and drank a cup of tea.

Syllable!

At this time, a slapping of the table sounded, startling everyone in the hotel, but seeing a tall strong man with a dissatisfied face, he scolded the restaurant loudly: "The wine is so slow, what is the use of you waiting." In the end, it is a small town in the mountains, and it is unlucky. ”

At first glance, he is a short-tempered and fierce guest from a foreign country.

However, this statement was too vicious, and it forced the people of Baiyun City to look down on them, which was unpleasant to hear. Especially the shopkeeper and those little two were scolded and humiliated, all of them were red-faced, but they dared not speak out.

It's just a huge hotel, but I don't know if I am afraid of the strong man's force, and no one is upset and reasonable.

Mo Xiao looked at it with interest, and said to Mu Li: "Brother Li, my generation of hot-blooded young people, when encountering such a situation, it is reasonable to support the weak and fight for the store, but he is just a weak scholar, if it is a martial artist, he will definitely be able to press this person down." ”

Then he asked again: "There is a minister of the court who once said, 'useless is a scholar', how should Brother Li think of it?"

"In my opinion, this is a precept, Dawu Guoanbang relies not only on the military generals to conquer and guard, but also on the help of Confucianism to educate the world. ”

Although the literati could not quell the oppression as they do today, they could teach the world, and even though the martial arts had strong combat power, they could also be so human, oppressing the common people and doing nothing. ”

Therefore, in the view of the next, no matter the literati and martial artists, only with justice in their hearts and support the troubled times, can they be sages and gentlemen. ”

"Haha, what a sage gentleman! Brother Li explained profoundly, and it was really transparent, and he admired it. Mo Xiao laughed loudly when he heard this, and then took out a bamboo chopstick on the table with his fingers and threw it violently.

Shout!

The chopsticks passed through the wind, and the speed was extremely fast, like a rainbow crossing the void, setting off a gust of wind, and before everyone could react, it struck at the strong man who was stirring up trouble, and inserted it into his flesh and blood, flowing bright red blood.

This scene shocked everyone.

The strong man's face was in severe pain, his eyes looked at him fiercely, his eyes were red, and he scolded angrily: "The kid dares to sneak attack me, he is tired of life, and he can't find death." ”

He slapped his palm on the table in anger, shattering the wooden table to pieces, which showed its strength. The people next to him were forced by their momentum to take a few steps back, especially the literati who retreated far away, almost going out of the store to avoid being harmed.

Mo Xiao looked calm, and said lightly: "A guest from another country, you should be grateful for being served, but you rely on force to bully the shopkeeper, it is really not a gentleman's doing! ”

"Little rabbit cub really doesn't know what to say, I have to teach you a lesson today. The strong man was furious, jumped over, raised his fist the size of a sandbag, and was about to bombard Mo Xiao, extremely ruthless. Everyone only felt that if the young man was hit by such a punch, he was afraid that he would be severely disabled if he did not die.

Mu Li was also a little nervous at the moment, after all, the strong man's strength was too great for ordinary people to bear, although Mo Xiao said that he had practiced martial arts, he was also young and difficult to match.

However, the result made everyone's eyes widen and they were extremely surprised, only to see Mo Xiao stretch out a palm, and block the strong man's attack, Ren Qi used all his strength, but he didn't move forward an inch. It's like hitting a wall.

"You're not far from it. ”

Mo Xiao's palm fingers struck out hard, and the strong man who was instantly shocked was unstable, and he took more than ten steps back before he stabilized his body. There was fear in the eyes of the strong man, and when he saw the momentum of Mo Xiao about to make a move again, he ran out of the restaurant in fright.

However, Mo Xiao just stood there with his hands in his hands and did not make a move. Although he is young, he has an extraordinary bearing, not inferior to the elderly, standing in a green shirt, like an abyss, and his elegance is peerless.

"My generation of young people, when helping the weak and helping the poor, how can we see the oppression of ordinary people, you just saw the bullying happening in front of you, but you don't care, it's really shameful, so virtuous, even if you go to Nanyang City to watch the gift of praying for heaven, it is useless. ”

The crowd listening to the words was silent, difficult to refute, and even ashamed.

"I was taught today. ”

"Admire under it. ”

Fang was ashamed. ”

......

All of a sudden, there were many voices, several people clasped their fists and saluted, and several people left in a huff, but there were still people who were unmoved, still sitting at the table drinking and eating meat, unconcerned.

All this is in the eyes of Mu Li.

However, what made him boil the most at this moment, and what attracted attention, was Mo Xiao's methods and words, which really made his mood fluctuate, and even ashamed of himself.

At least in terms of martial arts, it is bound to be inferior.

He suddenly felt that the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and when he was a man of great martial arts and martial arts, he knew righteousness and had the ability to correct the evils of the world, so that he could be considered a perfect person.

But he was frail and sickly, burying half of his ambitions.

The ancients can be said to have exhausted the truth......

At this time, Mo Xiao came and sat down, raised his wine glass and looked at Mu Li with an indifferent smile, Mu Li also smiled, the eyes of the two were like torches, and there seemed to be a flame of light between the intersections. Another glass of wine.

The scene outside the window is the same as before.
