To be honest, Xue Wusuan was surprised that Emperor Baoding would write such a letter to him personally. The content of the letter completely subverted the image of Emperor Baoding as he knew it. But when you think about it, it makes sense. The other party is an emperor first, and then a Jianghu person.

Emperor Baoding was free to switch between the two identities. So much so that Xue Wushu forgot that he was still an emperor, and there must be an unknown side.

The emperor must put the people first, followed by the country's society, and the monarch is light. This is the measure that a more successful emperor should have. And Emperor Baoding didn't say anything else, but he was indeed a good emperor who put the people first. Although Dali is not strong, it can indeed be regarded as "national peace and security" under his governance.

And when the emperor is not only looking at the present, he must also look at the development of the situation. Now the north of Dali is the increasingly prosperous Tubo country, and the Tubo people are as powerful as a sword hanging over Dali's head, which may fall at any time.

Emperor Baoding knew the temperament of the Tibetan people, so he did not dare to slack off for a day, and stationed 60,000 troops on the border all year round to prevent accidents. But the Tibetans are condescending, and if they really raise troops, it will be extremely difficult to stop them.

When he saw Xue Wushu's divine and ghostly methods, Emperor Baoding was thinking that if Dali suffered a military disaster in the coming day and was powerless to stop it, if Xue Wushu could help Dali, then Dali would at least have no problem protecting itself.

So he completely put aside all his personal emotions, and sincerely hoped that Xue Wushu could reach a deal with himself or with Dali. Dali is willing to exchange a certain amount of heavenly and earthly treasures for Xue Wushu to help Dali when it is in danger.

Xue Wusuan thought for a moment. Since Emperor Baoding was willing to spend money to hire him, he naturally wanted to. This kind of benefit given for free is not taken for nothing. Anyway, as far as he's concerned, it's not a big deal.

Now in ancient times, the commander of an army was the fatal core. With his means, tens of millions of people are just idle things such as killing in and out, and they naturally have the confidence and ability to protect Dali.

In addition, another reason why Xue Wusuan agreed to this deal was that he had underestimated a country's collection before. This time, Emperor Baoding sent a total of 16 cars and 370 plants of heaven and earth, all of which are high-end goods that are more than 100 years old!

It also made Xue Wusuan understand that there was a difference between the heavenly and earthly treasures in his eyes and the heavenly treasures in the eyes of Emperor Baoding. It is estimated that in the eyes of Emperor Baoding, there is no year of hundreds of years, and it is not worthy of the words "heaven and earth".

"The weak Dali Kingdom is so entrenched, how amazing should there be a collection in the imperial city of the Great Song Kingdom of the rich family?"

Xue Wushu left after a few days in Dali, rode a horse, followed the Yangtze River to the south, all the way through Luzhou, Gongzhou, Xiazhou, Huangzhou, and finally arrived in Yangzhou in March. Then take a boat down to Suzhou, the "paradise" since ancient times.

this day. Xue Wusuan chartered a painting boat, listened to the sound of the prostitute's piano, drank Suzhou's unique plum wine, half leaned on a recliner, his clothes were bright, and there was a large wine stain on his chest, smiling, as if he was drunk and sober. Kneeling behind him, a Miaoman woman gently brushed his hair.

"Uncle, wake up, didn't you say that today you will show us the ability to fish empty-handed?

A woman shook Xue Wushu's arm and coquettishly, her words were quite well-behaved, she was not very old, but her figure was abnormally hot.

Xue Wusuan opened his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "But when you get to Swallow Dock?"

"Not yet, the boatman said it was almost there. However, it is also said that it is extremely difficult to identify the direction of the Yanziwu waterway, and it is easy for ordinary people to get lost. Uncle, what are we going to do there?"

Hearing that it hadn't arrived yet, Xue Wushu closed his eyes again and muttered: "Go see the beauties, and see the rumored stunt of "returning the other body with the other's way" by the way." ”

Besides, what kind of slave and maid don't want to see it, so I just want to see how you fish empty-handed. ”

"Fishing with your bare hands is not easy? ”

After saying that, he didn't see Xue Wushu make any movements, it seemed that he only raised his hand slightly, and a waist-thick column of water rose from the lake, ten zhang high! Then the water column rotated, and a fat fish was thrown out of the water column and landed on the edge of Xue Wusuan's recliner alive. looked directly at all the women on the painting boat.

"You don't like fish, but I do, take the fish to the kitchen, braise it, and then I'll have it for wine. ”

The women were amazed, and then agreed in unison.

"Uncle, you are so powerful! How did you do this? Is this what those Jianghu children call "martial arts"? You really look like a fairy!"

Xue Wushu laughed out loud, his heart was happy, and he drained the plum wine in his hand in one gulp.

"I don't know which senior is on the boat, but the junior Murong Fu is so polite!"

Suddenly, there was a soft drink from outside the painting boat, and the sound was clear, as if it were in the ear. The women were curious and looked around, but they only saw a flower boat in the distance, and there was no one else in the distance. Could it be that the person who spoke just now was on a small boat a hundred feet away, and the voice could be heard so far?!

"Hey, don't be surprised, the people on that small boat have good internal strength, and they can spread the sound from all their feet, but they live up to the name of "Nan Murong". Tell the boatman to lean towards the flower boat, and Uncle Ben will take you to meet a rare beautiful man in the world!"

The girls were shy and curious, and the painting boat slowly turned around and approached the flower boat coming from the opposite side. After a while, I saw that there were quite a few people on the boat opposite.

First, a man in a fancy costume stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, smiling. Accompanied by a pretty woman, with long hair and a shawl, and a white dress, she is as gentle and pure as a fairy. Behind this man and woman are two men, one is slightly fat, dressed as a scholar, with a small beard, and a proud expression. The other man was dressed in a strong suit, carrying a long knife on his back, and his face was fierce and extremely ugly.

"I don't know which senior swims in Taihu Lake, and the junior Murong Fu came to visit!"

The man with extraordinary bearing at the head is the famous "Nan Murong". He was going to go to Wuxi City by boat with his two retainers and his cousin, but he didn't expect to see a ten-zhang water dragon rising out of thin air just after he got out of Swallow Dock, which seemed to be man-made, and he was horrified in his heart, knowing that he had met a top master who was not born in the world. I had a heart of friendship in my heart, so I passed on the message to meet you.

When the two boats approached, Murong Fu saw a few singers standing at the bow of the boat, but he didn't see the master in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and spoke again, only to see a drunken man, with his hair scattered, his chest open, and the man who described the dissolute man shaking a fan in one hand and holding a wine bottle in the other, walked out of the painting boat surrounded by a group of wonderful singers.

was about to speak, but saw the man pointing at him and said to the singers around him: "See, this person is the long-famous "Nan Murong" on the rivers and lakes, Murong Fu." Isn't he handsome? Isn't he a rare beautiful man in the world?"

Murong Fu and the others were a little stunned. Why does this sound so awkward! It is obviously a compliment, but it comes out of this person's mouth with obvious frivolity, how wrong it sounds.

The singers covered their mouths and chuckled, but no one answered.

"Now that we're here, let's get on board and talk. After Xue Wusuan finished speaking, he hugged the two singers and turned around and went back to the painting boat.

"Son, are you not up?" The bearded scholar had a strange look in his eyes, looked at the woman beside Murong Fu, and asked hesitantly.
