Chapter 5: The Secret of the Dumb (1)

Children's innocent dreams of rivers and lakes are actually very simple, but they just fly around, and there is nothing to fight and kill in their minds. Ma Kun was able to fly today, and he was so happy that he just had to find a loudspeaker to publicize it in the whole village.

These days, after the people in the village saw Ma Kun's outstanding performance, many people wanted to let their children worship the mute as a teacher, but they were all rejected by the mute, and since then the mute has been regarded as a guest in Qingsong Village, that is, the courtesy is the same as the village chief, and the mute has not paid much attention to this, but there is a shadow in his heart, and there has been no way to dissipate it, and he has made up his mind to accept an apprentice, but it is the body of heaven, is this the will of heaven, the dumb man thought helplessly, he should not be called dumb, he should be called Mo Shaojie, the dignified young master of the Mo family, the future head of the Mo family.

There are five major families under the Great Zhou Kingdom, due to the different sizes of family power, the territory under their jurisdiction is different, the middle of the close circle is the economic center of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but also the political center, although the five major families have power here, but the real one can only speak is the Zhou family, is the first family of the Great Zhou State, and the head of the Zhou family is the king of the Great Zhou State. The other four families are distributed in four areas, east, west, south and north, although these four areas are slightly larger than the central circle, but the remote areas are basically primeval forests and sparsely populated. The Mo family is in charge of the eastern region, the Tang family is in charge of the western region, the Zhu family is in charge of the southern region, and the Li family is in charge of the northern region, the five families have been living in harmony, there has been a legend that the five major families are one family, and the five major families are also like this legend, although there are some small battles, but there has never been a big turmoil, whenever the Great Zhou Kingdom is in danger, the heads of the five major families will gather in the political center of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Yundu City, share the burden, unite like a fist, and unite with the outside world, which is also the reason why the Great Zhou Kingdom has stood for several years.

"The fortune of the country is prosperous,

It will prosper,

look brand-new

Fame. ”

Children in the streets and alleys are shouting these words. The heads of the five major families received this news almost at the same time--- "Guo Bihuan (changed) name".

In the middle of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Yundu City, the King's Mansion, the head of the Zhou family, that is, Zhou Yongfu, the king of the Great Zhou Kingdom, walked back and forth in the hall, frowning, "Could it be that this is the will of heaven, according to the Lord's will, the time is almost up, but this secret is only known to the heads of the five major families, why is it circulating in the streets and alleys?" ”

A guard immediately flashed out of the door, kneeling on his right knee, "Subordinates see the king, may the king live long live long live!"

King Zhou Yongfu was very anxious about something in his heart, and when he saw that this guard was still meeting him in such a proper manner, "Get up, hurry up and invite Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, there is something important to discuss." ”

"Obey the order, and the little one will leave. The guards bowed their heads and retreated out of the hall, and immediately showed the fastest way to run towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, and before they ran out of the King's Mansion, they saw Prime Minister Jiang coming head-on, and the guards were overjoyed at the moment, so they didn't have to run by themselves, "Prime Minister Jiang stayed, and the king passed on Prime Minister Jiang and said that there was something important to discuss." ”

Prime Minister Jiang Cheng's face became even more ugly when he heard this, "It seems that the king has also received the news, let's go, hurry up and meet the king." The two of them trotted all the way towards the reception hall of the King's Palace.

The King's Palace consists of three halls, among which the Council Hall is dedicated to state affairs, and the meeting of the heads of the five major families is usually held in the Council Hall. The reception hall was the place where the king summoned the insiders of the family, and the main discussions were matters related to the interests of the family. The martial arts hall is a place for martial arts in the family, it is also the most lively place, and it is also the place that occupies the most area, the martial arts hall can accommodate tens of thousands of people at least, and it is also the best place to enhance the strength of the family, and the strength says everything.

Left and right in the king's palace, the kung fu of half a pillar of incense finally came to the door of the reception hall, only to see a pair of horizontal plaques on the door, the horizontal plaque does not know who carved the word "guest" on it with a knife, don't underestimate these two words, these two words are magnificent, and there seems to be a knife aura that stands out from it, so ordinary people dare not face these two words, otherwise they will be seriously injured, and they will be flooded with knife gas and explode to death. Of course, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng knew the power of these two words, and went in with his head down, and when he saw the king walking back and forth inside, he hurriedly knelt on his right knee to prepare the same lines, but King Zhou Yongfu stopped him directly, "No courtesy, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng sat down and spoke." ”

Prime Minister Jiang knew what the king was like, that is, he was informal, and he was not hypocritical immediately, and sat down on the side seat. King Zhou Yongfu saw Prime Minister Jiang sit down, and he himself sat down on the main seat. (The main seat is the seat facing the main door, and there is only one main seat in this reception hall, and the other seats are all located on the left and right sides.) "Prime Minister Jiang must have heard some rumors, I don't know what to say, say it, let Gu listen." ”

Prime Minister Jiang can sit in the position of prime minister, of course, he is not a vegetarian master, don't look at his thin skin and tender flesh, white and pure, but there is a strong scholarly anger in his bones, he is step by step from a down-and-out scholar climbed up, everything in the officialdom is now cultivated perfectly, the master asks you can not give an answer directly, then it will slowly make the master have the idea of high merit to cover the master, with this idea, he will be at the end of the road, at this time there is only one trick, that is, to talk about this credit to the master, so Jiang Cheng said tactfully, "The king is in such a hurry to summon him, he must have the answer in his heart. ”

King Zhou Yongfu smiled, "Don't give me this set, if you have any ideas, don't hide them for Lonely." ”

When Prime Minister Jiang Cheng saw that the king was straight to the point, he had to honestly tell his thoughts, "I have two opinions on this news, one is that it is possible that someone deliberately fabricated it, and then spread it as a nursery rhyme to disturb the people's hearts; ”

King Zhou Yongfu nodded after hearing this, "What do you mean by this?"

Prime Minister Jiang shook his head, "This is difficult, at present, the four major families are distributed in the four directions, and everyone knows that only in the central part can they get the best development opportunities, so the four major families are ready to move, it is an inevitable result, they are just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that can make them clear and straightforward, so now this opportunity has come, so I think they will not give up this golden opportunity." ”

King Zhou Yongfu also shook his head, "If this is the case, Lone can only wait and see what happens, and whoever moves should not blame Lone for ignoring brotherhood." As he spoke, he slapped his right hand on the armrest, "Someone." ”

A guard immediately flashed out of the door, kneeling on his right knee, "Subordinates see the king, may the king live long live long live!"

"Immediately summoned Gu to see Marshal Zhou Yongming of the Military Department and asked him to come to the reception hall to see Gu. King Zhou Yongfu waved his hand.

After a stick of incense, Marshal Zhou Yongming hurriedly came to the reception hall and was about to salute, but King Zhou Yongfu stopped him, "No courtesy, sit down and talk." ”

Marshal Zhou Yongming sat down opposite Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, and exchanged polite words with Prime Minister Jiang by the way. "What is the so-called reason why the eldest brother came to me?" This Zhou Yongming is the brother of King Zhou Yongfu, except for calling King Zhou Yongfu the king on the big scene in the conference hall, he generally calls the eldest brother.

King Zhou Yongfu shook his head after listening to Zhou Yongming's words, "Second brother, don't you care about the affairs of the world except for martial arts?"

Zhou Yongming was anxious when he heard this, "Big brother, I am a rough person, I can only lead soldiers to fight, I am not obsessed with martial arts, what am I obsessed with, what is going on, tell me quickly, I'm going to die in a hurry." Not to mention, Zhou Yongming has a dark complexion, a full beard, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a height of more than 1.9 meters, and the tiger's mouth on his right hand is covered with calluses.

King Zhou Yongfu looked at Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng is a clear-eyed person, took over and said, "The king is talking about the nursery rhyme that has been circulating on the streets and alleys recently, the national fortune is prosperous, it will be prosperous, it will be renewed, and its reputation will be far and wide. ”

Zhou Yongming, the marshal of the military department, was anxious when he heard this, "Grandma Dixiong, who is so bold, please ask my eldest brother to approve me to lead the troops to destroy him immediately." ”

King Zhou Yongfu frowned, "Second brother, how old are you, why are you still so impulsive, you now know why you have to let Jiang Cheng be your military advisor every time you fight." Didn't the prime minister just say that we can only wait and see what happens, and we are also strengthening our defense in four aspects. ”

Zhou Yongming scratched his hair embarrassedly, "Big brother, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, whatever the eldest brother says the younger brother, I will do it." ”

King Zhou Yongfu smiled this time, "That's good, you personally lead the troops to the east to defend the Mo family, remember that if the Mo family doesn't move, you won't move, and if the Mo family moves, you will be allowed to cut first and then play." ”

Zhou Yongming clenched his fists with both hands, "Take the order." "He was about to get up and leave.

"Sit down, you're not done yet, look at your virtue. King Zhou Yongfu pointed at Zhou Yongming, "You go and order the third brother to defend the Tang family in the west, the fourth brother to defend the Zhu family in the south, and the fifth brother to defend the Li family in the north, so that they can't move the enemy, otherwise they can cut it first and then play, do you understand?"

"Understood, then can the eldest brother leave this time?" Zhou Yongming scratched his hair and asked carefully.

"You don't want to leave yet, can you pass the order while sitting here? Don't be in a hurry when you should be in a hurry, and be in a hurry when you shouldn't be in a hurry, so let's go, Prime Minister Jiang, you and your second brother will go to defend the east together." Let's all go down. ”

"Yes. They both replied at the same time, and then stepped back.

King Zhou Yongfu looked at the two retreating figures, and muttered, "It's a disaster that can't be avoided, I hope this arrangement can survive this crisis, hey, it's really quiet and the wind doesn't stop." The hall was quiet again, and King Zhou Yongfu was alone in thought.
