043. The Soldiers and Horses Have Not Moved (Part 1)
Just as Shaowu inspected the border cities, two news had already spread to various places in Bayuan through various channels, especially those major forces who had been paying attention to their movements. The first thing was that Shaowu went to Meng Yingqiu to pay homage to the life evil spirit, and wanted to marry a direct disciple of Meng Yingqiu as the official concubine, but the result was confusing and caused various discussions and speculations.
There is another news that is more circulated among the people of the Xiangshi Kingdom, especially where Huwa's footprints had been. Many people were surprised to learn that the Peng Keng, who was well-known in the Bashi Kingdom, was a young man who was once admired by all the people in the Xiangshi Kingdom. Due to the restrictions of transportation conditions, the spread of folk news is relatively closed and slow. Only those particularly important or curious things will be spread quickly through word of mouth.
Official announcements of the world will be made by the field collectors sending field collectors to each city, and each city collector will send special personnel to markets and villages to preach, so that the people in the country can be informed to the maximum extent. However, after exceeding the border, the spread of the news is greatly restricted, and no one can send field collectors to neighboring countries.
The name of the miracle doctor Peng Keng is almost well-known in Bashi Country, but many people do not know who the "little gentleman" in the Xiangshi Country was. Shaowu had already made arrangements for this and sent the field trip officer to various cities to preach to the people about Huwa's deeds in the Xiangshi Country, including fighting against bandits in Baixi Village, beheading soldiers in Feihong City, saving the people in Gongshan Village, training Jun Nu Palace, traveling with Cang Sha, beheading Gongzi Gonglang, and giving immortal medicine to the god of death... etc.
Everyone was amazed when they heard this. It turned out that Lord Peng Keng had had so many amazing deeds, and he was invisibly cast with a more legendary mythological color.
Although the people of the Xiangshi Kingdom had known the story of the young man, most of them did not know who the Peng Keng clan of Bashi Kingdom was and what they had done? Of course, Xiangqian would not send a field recruiting official to promote these in the middle of the country, but there were many caravans and passers-by who would tell the story of Peng Keng clan to the people along the way when they passed by the various cities and villages of the Xiangshi Kingdom - these were arranged secretly by the young officials.
Many people in the Xiangshi Kingdom finally learned that it turned out that the "Little Mr." killed Gong Lang and passed through the pass and entered the Bashi Kingdom. He first saved the king Houlin in the forbidden area of Pengshan, and was given the title of Pengkeng. He then went away to Wufuqiu and worshiped Mr. Jiansha and became his personal disciple. He also met the young master Shaowu, who was a pseudonym Xiaojun.
These news made the people of the Prime Minister very interested and spread rapidly among the people. People admired the little gentleman more deeply. Intentionally or unintentionally, even the new king of the Bashi Kingdom, which was related to the little gentleman, was covered with a mysterious color in the legend and was inexplicably respected by many people.
There are some other things that the official officials of the Prime Minister have not made public. For example, the bandits that once appeared in Feihong City were actually military formations in the city; the Junnu Palace trampled on the green seedlings, collided with the people, and was beaten by the young gentleman... These internal stories were originally circulated among the local people. But now they are spreading more and more widely, and people in many places have also heard of them.
The subtlety of the people's hearts has always been hard to describe. While the people in the middle school admire the young gentleman and then have a favorable impression of young affairs, they are increasingly dissatisfied with the royal family of the prime minister and the royal family, and there are more and more criticisms in private. This is not very wrong in normal times, and they still live the life they should live.
But once a major change occurs, the role of this preparation can be seen, such as the war between the Xiangshi Kingdom and the Bashi Kingdom. What Shaowu has to do is wait for Xiangqiong to take the lead in provoking this national war. Sooner or later, this conflict will be inevitable. Shaowu also knows that Xiangqiong has been preparing for this, so he will take the initiative to give the other party a chance to control the situation in his own hands.
In Shaowu's opinion, his goal was not to conquer or destroy the Prime Minister's Kingdom. Instead, ending its split rule. Anyway, the five Ba Yuan countries now claim to be the Ba Yuan Kingdom and inherit the orthodox original Ba Yuan Kingdom. So what he wanted to defeat was the royal family of the Prime Minister's Kingdom and the military forces it controlled, and to get the broadest support of the people of the Prime Minister's Kingdom as much as possible to avoid the evolution of the situation into a comprehensive war between the two countries.
Although the war against the Prime Minister's State has not yet begun, all matters after the war must be laid early. Those who understand the principle of "it is easy to plan without any signs" in the world are not only tiger kids.
At least at this moment, it seems that the influence of the young man on Meng Yingqiu's proposal for marriage is not as good as Peng Keng's visit to the fate demon and showing that he was the young man from the Central Secretariat back then. Shao Wu used various methods to spread news in the Central Secretariat, including many inside stories that the Central Secretariat did not want to publicly spread.
Huwa, who had gone through a trip to the Western Wilderness, had already planned to act low-key in the future, and should not be ostentatious and over-attracting. Even the matter of becoming a teacher of the Elephant Evil, Huwa did not mention it to anyone. However, once he showed his identity as a young man, he went to Mengyingqiu, the subsequent "consequence" was to become famous in Bayuan, and he once again became the most famous and respected person among the two countries of Bashi and the Jingshi. Even among the other three countries, many people heard rumors about him.
Huwa could only smile bitterly, because he knew that as long as he went to Meng Yingqiu and went to pay homage to the fate as a young man back then, this would happen. It was not that he deliberately made it public. Shaofu just took the opportunity to spread the news more widely and did not fabricate any false statements. What Huwa himself did publicly was circulated among the people, and he had no reason to stop anyone from talking.
Since this is the case, the tiger baby will let it go and not be proud of it.
...
This is the first time since the two demon cultivators, Teng Jin and Teng Hua, left the capital and traveled everywhere to see the world. They were all confused along the way. Even if they witnessed some very small things in the world, they were unprecedentedly rewarding for them. When Shaofu finally finished his inspection and was about to return to the capital, they both fell in the car and became worried.
Tengjin muttered, "It's broken now. Once we return to the capital, the gate of the mansion will probably be squeezed out. A few months ago, Master was not at home, and the door was often as lively as a market, and the warehouse was filled with various gifts. Now Master followed the king and walked openly like this. After returning, wouldn't the things at home be unable to be filled?"
Tenghua also scratched her head and said, "Master thinks that the servants are enough. If someone gives me another gift, we should try our best to refuse. However, some gifts are not easy to accept, otherwise they will offend people. I already understand these principles now. When we return to the capital, we quickly clean up the house and organize several empty houses to put out all kinds of things. Some of them are not afraid of sun and rain, so they just pile them in the backyard."
Their "worry" is not without reason. Before Huwa came back, so many people came to visit and give gifts. Now that he is back, he travels with the king all the way. The story of the young man who was young was spreading in Bashi Middle School. Now that Peng Keng's deeds are spreading in the Jingshi Middle School, many people will probably come to give gifts to Huwa. Although the two courtyards of Huwa and Panhu are not small, they are not as big as exaggerated. I am afraid they really can't hold it.
Fujikita said, "We prepared a few cars and transported some things to Master's farm. The place there is big and it really doesn't work, so we will build a few more warehouses.
Fujikan said with a sanction: "This is a good idea! But the things at home are very expensive. If we are not here, will anyone come to steal them?"
Tengjin smiled and said, "Do you think anyone will come to Master's house to steal things? Unless you take the wrong medicine!... Besides, aren't we still the two of us? Can't we still be able to prevent thieves with all our cultivation? Uncle Panhu is here too. As soon as he smells his nose, he knows that a new person is coming."
Tenghua shook her head and said, "We can't just think about where to put the things at home. There are so many people coming to the door, and it will be messy all day long, which will definitely disturb Master's cultivation. In this way, Master may not stay in the capital's house often, and you and I should also follow Master. As for Uncle Panhu, he became a general, and he will definitely be in the army in the future, not at home."
Fujijin slapped his forehead and said, "Yes! There are too many visitors, which will definitely disturb Master's practice. If every person who comes to the door to ask for a visit will say a few words to Master, Master will not have time to do anything else. Well, Master will leave the capital to practice, and we both have to follow him. Anyway, there are still many servants in the mansion to take care of him."
These two demon cultivators were not stupid either. They guessed that Huwa would not return to the capital for a long time at this time. As expected, Huwa did not return to the capital at all. Not only did he not go back, Panhu, Tengjin and Tenghua all followed him halfway, and did not even alarm the rest of the country. Although the Shaofu's accompanying guards knew when these adults left, they didn't know where they went.
...
After Shaowu returned to the capital, he ordered the title of Lord Pan Yuan as "Forward General". This position was two levels lower than the generals of the four highest towns in the army, one level higher than the military divisions in each city, and was specially granted the honor of the six ranks. Panhu was originally named "Wang Sheng Family" and also enjoyed the honor of the six ranks. Now he has just changed his identity and has served as a real position in the army.
The so-called title first refers to the wine gift ceremony after the national sacrifice. A few wine glasses can be placed in front of the seat, which later became a symbolic status title, with the lowest being one title and the highest being ten titles. The positions in the middle school of the country will have corresponding titles depending on the length of the person in charge and the size of his/her achievements. However, the title itself is just a virtual title, and the owner may not hold a real position in the middle school.
Huwa enjoyed the title of Nine-Grade, but did not hold any actual position in the middle school. When young officials dealt with Huwa in private, they were more of the identity of senior brothers than kings. On the way back to the capital, Huwa took the initiative to ask for his order and took Panhu and two demon cultivators under his sect to carry out two important secret missions.
Huwa was not keen on participating in the political affairs of the Bashi Kingdom. He had no interest in the struggle for power and profit in the court and the country. As a monk, he would even give away the Immortal Medicine, and his practice was only to confirm the origin of the great way.
But on the other hand, personal experience and witnessing all things in the world are also necessary to prove practice. People cannot practice anything alone in the illusion of nothing. For what they encounter, they are willing and should do, whether it is private or national affairs, Huwa will not avoid it. Shaofu asked Huwa to do this time, which is something that Huwa will not refuse. (To be continued, please search Piaotian, novels are better and faster! ...
