readx; A few days later, Wu Xiao arranged for Zhu Quanzhong to go to a slightly more remote county to be a county magistrate, and he thanked him for his kindness and went to take office with a few retinues assigned to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And Li Shen almost inherited his father Li Mao's various connections, channels, and power relations, Wu Xiao dismissed Li Mao from the post of Senate, because he was dying and could not walk, before he died, Wu Xiao went to see him, the old man had been described as withered and unlucky.

There is a difference from the previous high-spirited appearance, seeing Wu Xiao coming, he straightened up slightly, grabbed Wu Xiao's hand, and said with difficulty: "The lord of heaven and the posture of the sky, in the future, will become a hegemon, expand the territory, and win the title of the prince is unknown, but I don't have this blessing, help the lord to complete all this, the sky is not a holiday."

Li Mao coughed violently a few times when he said this, Wu Xiao didn't know what to say, and patted his hands.

Li Mao raised his hand and pointed to his eldest son Li Shen, who was kneeling under the bed, where his dry hand had been stiff, he stopped moving, and after a closer look, the old man was no longer breathing.

Wu Xiao sighed, stood up, and said softly: "Bury your father well, the country has treated him with courtesy."

Then he slowly walked out of the room, and there was a cry behind him.

Three months later, Wu Xiao promoted Li Shen to the head of the Senate to participate in politics, and he also served as the president of the Senate.

It's just that during this time, Wu Xiao had to temporarily put aside other plans and was busy dealing with the vast political affairs of Mobei every day.

Judging from the political bulletins sent back by the inspection envoys from various places, after he took office, he quickly mingled with local officials, handled affairs neatly, was extremely efficient, and made remarkable achievements.

The master really didn't confer mediocrity, Wu Xiao thought, and wrote a transfer and promotion order to promote him to the governor of a state and manage the state and county.

One afternoon, Wu Xiao finished lunch and stood under the tree in a daze, Hongyu snickered secretly, came in and asked, "I haven't seen you in a daze for a long time, but what are you thinking about now?"

"I was thinking, Li Mao never patted my ass before he died, and finally slapped it before he died," he sighed

Redfish gently hugged him from behind and didn't speak.

"As soon as this old thing dies, many of my plans will have to be rearranged" Wu Xiao sighed for a while.

"There's no hurry, and now isn't the best time," Redfish knew what was going on and reassured him.

"I'll take you to the grassland for a walk, I heard that now the grassland is full of vegetation, and now the trade route has been opened, and the merchants from the north and south are shuttling back and forth, and there are often large gatherings," Wu Xiao said

"Okay, I'll get ready today, let's go tomorrow, but don't bring too many people," Redfish laughed

The next day, the four horses slowly walked out of the north gate of Changzhou City, and the two commanders behind kept saying: "Dashuai, bring a team of people and horses, in case something happens, I can't afford it."

"Wan Tong is so long-winded, I'll wait to go out for a walk, what are you playing with a group of people?" Hongyu scolded with a smile

"Madame is right, but now the marshal is different from the past, we have a heavy responsibility, it is okay not to bring soldiers, bring these fireworks for transmission, and notify you in time if there is something" After he finished speaking, he took out a few long signal cigarettes from his backpack

Zhaohu took it, inserted it in the bag in front of the horse, and patted Wan Tong's shoulder, which Wan Tong could withstand his big hand pat, and even the horse shook at the moment

"Don't worry, I'm here, it's not a big deal" Zhaohu smiled, caught up with the three people in front, and rode away all the way.

The grassland in June is particularly beautiful, the new grass has poked its head out, and as far as the eye can see, a piece of new green is dotted among the old green bushes, the blue sky and white clouds are hanging high, and the field of vision is extremely broad, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Wu Xiao let out a sigh of relief, drove the horse and galloped, leaving Hongyu and Zhaohu far behind, and only Yan Nu could not keep up.

The wind was mixed with the fragrance of grass, pouring into his eyes, nose, and ears, Wu Xiao took a deep breath, and his heart and lungs were full of joy.

No wonder the people of the grassland are honest and fierce, living in such a grassland, they don't have to think about anything, they just need to ride their horses all the way forward, and nothing can stop the horses.

Wu Xiao roared a few times, and the deep roar in his heart spread far away in the vast grassland.

Yan Nu followed behind him, looking at his tall figure, listening to his deep roar, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, this is what she likes the person she likes, she likes the indulgent and proud Wu Xiao, and she doesn't like him sitting in front of the public desk.

After galloping all the way, at last at a small river, I saw a human figure, countless horses and cattle grazing and drinking water by the river, but the hunting dogs were running around, gathering and disturbing the sheep under their care, and from time to time the little sheep cake was running to death.

The children of the prairie who have been dark-skinned since childhood play in groups of threes and twos, and the content of the game is archery, wrestling, throwing stones, and catching rabbits.

Nomads live on water and grass, and from an early age they will ride horses, shoot arrows, hunt and chase, these are the skills of their life and warfare, and when they grow up, they will grow up to be natural warriors.

On the flat grass, there is a tent not far away, and from time to time smoke rises from the edge of the tent, and on the river bank in the distance, there are many people gathered.

It seems that they have caught up with a big market today, and many merchants from the Central Plains have to trade all kinds of goods here, and the steppe people also exchange their own specialties and limited gold and silver for some food and daily necessities.

"Let's go over and see," Redfish was interested

"Okay, let's go" Wu Xiao let her, and the four of them walked slowly towards the crowd.

I smelled the aroma of barbecue from afar, someone killed a few sheep, set up a grill, and roasted a whole sheep, and those who wanted to eat could cut a piece to eat and earn some loose silver.

Zhaohu immediately ran over and cut a leg of mutton, which meat was already fully cooked, the skin was golden, and it was steaming with oil and water, and the four of them were also hungry, so they rushed to eat some, which was a cushion for their stomachs.

There is everything in the bazaar, selling all kinds of southern goods, grain, and horses are the most, and there are also all kinds of original gadgets, which are the favorite of people and women on the grassland.

There are also those who see a doctor, those who tell fortunes, those who buy precious stones, those who strike iron, those who sell knives, those who buy leather goods, all kinds of people.

The four of them walked through the bazaar, casually looked around, Hongyu bought some small things, and then in a fur stall, let Yan Nu try a leather coat, there was no suitable size, and finally bought a few pieces of leather, ready to go home and make one for her.

The four of them were about to leave, and five people came to them, five of them were dressed strangely, all of them were wearing uniform black and white cloth clothes, and a black broadsword was carried on their backs, but it was a unified system, the hilt of the sword was three feet long, the sword body was wide and thick, and the whole body was blue-black, which should be made of black iron.

The five of them stared at the front, squeezing all the way over, Wu Xiao motioned for Hongyu and Zhaohu to step aside, and when the five of them passed in front of Wu Xiao, they glanced at him, and walked over after a while.

When they were far away, Wu Xiao asked Zhaohu, "Do you know who they are?"

"It should be the people of the Righteous Path Society that have only risen in the last few years or two," Zhao Hu affirmed

"What is the Righteous Dao Society, why is it not mentioned in the intelligence of the house" Wu Xiao was puzzled

"It's a Central Plains ranger organization, all wearing black and white clothes, carrying big swords, there are men and women, and their personal martial arts are outstanding, but there are not many people, they claim to kill all the evil people in the world, and help the right way in the world," Zhaohu explained

"Like this, there are five people as soon as they appear, which is extremely rare, but they have been active in the Central Plains, when did they come to Mobei and run to this grassland" Zhaohu was also puzzled

"How has the military police's intelligence work been arranged recently?" Wu Xiao asked Zhaohu

"The main direction of the military army's intelligence in the past two years is the interior of Mobei and the grassland, and this task is relatively heavy, so there are not many spies sent to Guannai, and they are mainly sent to Chang'an, and there is a shortage of manpower in other places," Zhaohu said

Wu Xiao thought about it for a while, he felt that the lack of information had been serious recently, which was not a good thing.

"Send someone to the Salt Gang General Hall, and bring half of the people and horses of the Dragon and Tiger Hall Night Owl Camp over," Wu Xiao said

"Big brother, I know, I'll do this when I go back," Zhaohu responded

"What else is there about this Righteous Path Society?" Wu Xiao asked

"Oh, it is said that they have done a lot of earth-shattering things, Jiangnan thieves, one side is so greedy that they have killed a lot, but I haven't heard of what they do to make a living, they don't seem to worry about spending money, they don't do small things, as soon as they do it, it's a big case, their leader seems to be called a giant, and the others don't know" Zhaohu added

"Giant?, could it be that the Mo family, which has long been dead for many years, has something to do with it," Wu Xiao muttered to himself

"What Mo family, which Mo family" Zhao Hu didn't understand at all

"They are indeed all skilled people," Yan Nu interjected

Wu Xiao nodded and said, "Let's go back and talk about it, let's eat first."

A few people found a place to eat in the market, ate a meal, and rode a horse to a place, and when the sun was in the west, they rushed back, and when they reached a place with abundant vegetation, Wu Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled a few people to stop.

But I saw a group of people fighting on the grass in the distance, and I saw black and white costumes from a distance, but it was the person of the righteous path that I had just seen in the market.
