After leaving the Shu realm, Mu Sanqian and his party were going to join the six hundred cavalry who remained on the border of Qiyuan.

All the way day and night, he was finally about to leave the border of Xishu, but along the way, Old Man Ning didn't even have the intention of accepting apprentices to teach swords, and Yang Shan Zhe could also endure his temper, and he didn't ask a word since he came out.

Yes, you can't wait for the emperor not to be anxious and the eunuch is in a hurry, he will not worship the old man Ning as a teacher after all, and if he has the opportunity to learn a few more swords, all of them will be earned.

For several days in a row, the passers-by were not tired, and the horses had to drink water and rest, so they came to a shallow river, and everyone settled down to rest.

Mu Guiyun came back after letting go of the horse and stopped talking a few times, whether it was on the Jianzong Mountain or in the Imperial City of Shudu, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Eastern Emperor Jiulin brothers were extremely unusual to Mu Sanqian, it was not a relationship between the powerful, nor was it deliberately wooed, especially when he was leaving, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi retreated left and right and talked to Mu Sanqian alone, which made people feel that there must be something between them.

"General Mu, don't hold back, see if you have something in your heart, if you don't say it, you will be uncomfortable and die. ”

Mu Sanqian washed his face with the cold river water, and Mu Guiyun was really funny when he wanted to come over but was hesitating, so he simply took the initiative to ask Mu Guiyun to come over and ask himself.

"Lord Xiaomu, the two brothers of Donghuang Jiulin and Donghuang Taiyi, since we went up the mountain, have been a little deliberately flattering, I understood at first, who knew that in just a few days, the situation in Xishu will be turned upside down, the prince actually took the initiative to raise troops to rebel, tsk, I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really thought it was from heaven. ”

"That's true, it's quite unexpected. ”

Mu Sanqian got up and casually wiped his face with his sleeves.

"Now it seems that the crown prince's designation will be abolished, and among the other princes, it seems that the East Emperor Taiyi has a high reputation, you say, the two brothers deliberately made friends, do they know anything in advance, so they want to get our favor, after all, if they have the support of our Qiyuan, even if they make a statement, their confidence will be tougher. ”

"You want to ask if the Eastern Emperor Taiyi has received any support from me?"

Mu Guiyun has a rough appearance, and he has a lot of eyes, and he can go around thirty or fifty times when he asks a question.

"I'm just passing on a word on the emperor's orders, I won't and don't have the qualifications to make any voice on behalf of Qiyuan, Donghuang Taiyi deliberately got close to us, maybe just to create an illusion, even if it's just to talk to us casually, in the eyes of outsiders, you may imagine many versions, if you want to say anything, you can only say that Donghuang Taiyi is indeed shrewd and a politician with brains. ”

"Then aren't we going to be a robber?"

Mu Guiyun gave Mu Sanqian a random guide, when he felt that he was using the old forest of the Eastern Emperor, no wonder he often blatantly took himself out in the past few days in Shudu, it turned out that he had this thought.

"Master Mu doesn't have to worry too much, the remote location of Xishu has nothing to do with the overall situation of the Central Plains, and we can report it truthfully after we go back after this errand, how to say it, I don't think it is a big deal if I want to come to King Guangling." ”

Here, Mu Guiyun nodded one after another.

"Help, strong man help!"

Before the two of them finished speaking, they saw a middle-aged fat man along the river, holding a thick package tightly in his arms, and running towards more than 3,000 people in an extremely embarrassed manner, shouting for help and help.

"Let the wolf get rid of you?"

Mu Sanqian saw that the middle-aged man was really pitiful, and his voice shouting for help was already hoarse and crying. The seemingly luxurious robe was torn up in a mess, and it seemed that even one of his shoes had escaped in the water.

"Look at you with a fat body, you can run so well, dare to run! Look at Lao Tzu who catches you and doesn't peel off your fat body and light the sky lantern!"

"Robbery?"

Immediately behind the middle-aged man, there were two fierce men holding a Ming Huang Shu knife, scolding while chasing behind.

Seeing this, Mu Sanqian understood, it turned out that he had been robbed.

"Mighty man, help!"

The middle-aged fat man saw Mu Guiyun and the others here, and suddenly felt that there was hope for survival, and his legs and stomachs began to turn tendons, but he didn't know where he had the strength, and he almost crawled in front of Mu Guiyun, and with a pop, he knelt down to protect Mu Guiyun's thighs and began to cry.

"The strong man wants to save me, those bandits have done all kinds of evil in robbing homes and houses, and all the villains' family members have taken them captive!"

Indeed, Li Mu Sanqian and Yang Shan Zhe in their group are both teenagers from the outside, Old Man Ning is a bad old man who is half-buried in the ground, and the red clothes are a woman, so in comparison, it is indeed a wise choice to ask Mu Guiyun for help.

It's a pity that the middle-aged fat man cried for a long time, Mu Guiyun was stunned and didn't move, and he didn't even mean to reach out to help him up.

The two robbers did not run away when they came near, but stood their knives on the ground as crutches, gasping for breath and opening their mouths.

"Where are you guys coming from?"

"Passers-by, just passing by, passing by. ”

Mu Sanqian took a step forward and arched his hand, and said very politely.

"Ah, passer-by, do you know that this road belongs to my general?"

The two robbers looked at Mu Sanqian's attitude and were extremely flattering, thinking that they were just a timid and afraid person, and when they met them, they were directly scared into grandsons.

"Yo, when you first came here, you haven't asked your general?"

"Chang Wei, have you heard of it? But the captain of the Xishu Frontier Battalion was born!"

The two reported the name of their own leader, but the middle-aged fat man who was hiding behind Mu Guiyun seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and jumped out directly without being afraid.

"Oh, hey, this is really a big flood, and the family of the Dragon King Temple doesn't recognize the family!"

The two robbers with round shoulders and wide bodies looked at each other, what's the matter? As soon as they heard that their boss was a well-known person, they wanted to cling to each other casually?

"Look, Master Chang Wei Chang is the captain of the Tiger Battalion of the Border Defense Scale Army?"

The middle-aged fat man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the word Chang Wei, if it was really Chang Wei in the scale armor army, it would have something to do with him!

"Well, yes, how do you kid know?"

This time it was the turn of the two robbers to be stunned, could it be that this fat man still couldn't make friends with his own boss?

"That's easy, you go, take me to see your general Jiachang, and when we meet, everything will be clear!"

The middle-aged fat man lost his panic, but took the initiative to lean over and pull the two of them and let them take him to meet the leader of the robbers.

"Do you really know the boss of our family?"

Seeing this, the two of them didn't look like middle-aged fat people cheating, where was there a stupid person who took the initiative to run into the bandits' den? But they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, if he really knew the boss, then wouldn't the two of them suffer in the grass for a long time in vain?

"Let's go, you two, when the time comes, I will meet your general, and I will appoint a reward for the two of you!"

The middle-aged fat man threw the package on his shoulder, and actually walked in front of him first.

The two robbers didn't seem to have come back to their senses, and when they saw Mu Guiyun and the four men and one woman, they began to think about it again.

"Why don't you leave?"

The middle-aged fat man saw that the two did not follow, but turned around and found that the two seemed to be interested in those passers-by.

"Hey, I didn't understand it. ”

The greed and evil thoughts in the hearts of the two of them were unconcealed on their faces, but Mu Sanqian had no intention of interfering, if he had to do everything himself, then what did Mu Guiyun follow?

Mu Guiyun straightened out the messy hem of his clothes that was caught by the middle-aged fat man sideways, and then revealed the handle of the knife behind his back, his face full of expectant smirks.

"Let's go. ”

When the robbers want to be a technical job, the ability of the two to observe words and colors is not mediocre, and they know at the moment that this group of people is hard and hard, and they will mention it to the boss when they go back, and then they will see what the boss will do.

So at the moment, two robbers, one and the other were chased first, and then left along the path with a middle-aged fat man who met a relative, and disappeared.

"No wonder he said he would know a lieutenant who had fallen into the grass in the army, and this fat man was not an ordinary person. ”

The middle-aged fat man threw the burden on his shoulders and dropped a piece of something out of the baggage, and after they left, Mu Sanqian went over and picked it up in his hand, which was an official seal, and the county government and the people in the army would know each other, so it was no wonder.

"I heard from the Eastern Emperor Jiulin that in recent years, because the Eastern Emperor Taiyi has vigorously promoted business policies in Shudi, many people in oil and water positions have lost their positions and lost their lives, I don't know if they have also ended up like this because of power. ”

In the few days that he stayed with the Eastern Emperor Jiulin in the capital, Mu Guiyun still knew a lot of secrets about the officialdom of Xishu.

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, regardless of whether it is a government decree or something else, being an official has always been a dangerous errand, even if it is a clean official. ”

Mu Sanqian patted the dirt on the seal and carefully received it in his arms.

"It's really unfortunate that you can still encounter such a heartwarming thing when you leave. ”

Old man Ning looked like a lazy fairy wherever he went, and he was lying on a clean stone face at this time and pretending to sleep, and the red clothes went to prepare for food with Yang Shanzhe, and after Mu Sanqian said a word, he walked downstream along the river bank.

"What are you going to do?"

Mu Guiyun stood behind and asked.

"You don't care about?"

Mu Sanqian replied angrily.
