For two or three days, Xu Mu stayed with Jiang Caiwei. The joy of becoming a father for the first time was far from gone.
Among them, there is more thoughts about Chen Jiaqiao.
"Mr. Chen is really a hero." Even though she was just a woman, in the past two or three days, every time she saw Xu Mu sighing, Jiang Caiwei would whisper comfort.
"I hope this man will be free from disasters and illnesses, and that he will grow up to be a general and a heroic son as soon as possible."
"If he grows up, I will personally teach him...to write anti-poetry." Xu Mu said with a smile. For a while, the haze in his heart slowly dissipated.
"Mr. Chen's words, the heroic ambition to die without regrets and cut through the nine heavens in troubled times, really enlightened the world."
"Xu Lang, please read it again."
"The heroic ambition to die without regrets will cut through the nine heavens of troubled times."
Listening, Jiang Caiwei suddenly looked strange.
"Caiwei, did you discover something?"
"Xu Lang also knows that before the slave family was in exile, they also liked to read and write. There seems to be something wrong with these two poems."
Xu Mu was startled. Previously, Jia Zhou also said that this anti-poetry line seemed a bit strange.
"Xu Lang, Mr. Chen is the top candidate in the exam, and he often polishes his anti-poems. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such mistakes."
"Wrong word?"
"Exactly."
Jiang Caiwei's expression suddenly became serious.
"There is nothing wrong with the first sentence, but the second sentence... Mr. Chen, a hero who went to death, how could he use petty and wrong words?"
"When a woman cuts and embroiders, she misses her lover, and only then can she use the word "cut" when she misses her lover."
"But Mr. Chen is a good man who died for righteousness, so he shouldn't be able to use the word 'cut'. According to the slave family, the last sentence should be changed to 'split the nine heavens of the troubled world'."
"Changing cutting to splitting is in line with a man's nature."
"The heroic ambition of dying without regrets will split the nine heavens in troubled times." Xu Mu's face trembled. He suddenly understood that Chen Jiaqiao's two anti-poems were not just poems about death. More, they wanted to bring back a kind of
information.
He deliberately used the woman's wrong words to attract their attention. Otherwise, Cangzhou would have been sealed off, and these two poems would never have been sent back to Chengdu.
That black robe...or woman.
"Caiwei, thank you." Xu Mu stood up and breathed out with difficulty. Then he turned around and walked towards the palace. If it was almost time, Jia Zhou would have to get up from his nap.
…
"It's really a woman." Listening to Xu Mu's words, Jia Zhou also fell into a brief state of astonishment.
"Chen Jiaqiao's fatal counter-attack should be correct. But I can't figure out why her voice is so hoarse."
"Or Hantan." Jia Zhou frowned, "This method is too cruel. Not only women, but even men, if you are not careful, you will be choked dumb."
"I suddenly understood. My lord, think about it again, why does she stay away from the palace for about ten days in the last ten days of every month."
"Women's menstruation." Xu Mu gritted his teeth.
Jia Zhou sighed and nodded, "She likes to eat light things like lotus cake, which adds a bit of credibility. As for being good at touching horse bones, we still need to investigate clearly where she is from."
"In addition, I heard Cao Hong say that the swordsmen around her are not simple either. Their swords are sharp and they can kill people in the blink of an eye."
"To be honest, lord, I was originally wondering if it was the chief helmsman of the Thirty States. But now it seems that there is actually someone else."
"My lord, please think carefully, which woman has a grudge against you? Or maybe... my lord's romantic debt."
Xu Mu shook his head, "I have been begging for life all my life, and I have never known such a person. Of course, I have killed many people, including the daughters of my enemies."
Jia Zhou nodded and thought for a while.
"Lord, I have a plan."
"Wenlong, please speak."
"The lord can send a message to the world, so he said that this woman was originally the lord's third wife, and asked her to return to Shu to talk about it."
"Wenlong, how could she enter Shu?"
Jia Zhou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Just let the world know that she is a woman. If the wealthy families in Cangzhou drive her out of Cangzhou, it will be beneficial to Shuzhou.
"
"But Caiwei just got pregnant... Wenlong, Zhaowenli, I said she is Sihu's wife, is that okay?"
Jia Zhou was startled, "Yes. Si Hu is also the lord's younger brother, and everyone in the world knows it. It's just a matter of clarifying the relationship, so it's not a big problem."
"That's it. I want to see who this black-robed woman who entered Cangzhou is."
"Those who are good at touching horse bones have to know how to ride horses since childhood. There are thirty states in the world. In addition to Yanzhou, Liangzhou and Shuzhou, plus the two states of An and Bing, there are actually two more states."
"The Qiang people outside Yumen Pass, and the Di people in the Saibei Grassland."
"Lord, let's find out."
Xu Mu nodded, feeling a little chilly in his body.
"In addition, the King of Yuzhou has already conquered Huzhou in Hebei, plus the inner city, and even the direction of Hezhou... it is already the land of five states."
There are three prefectures in the inner city, Huzhou and Hezhou, a total of five prefectures. The deserted road from Hezhou to Laoguan also belongs to Hezhou. The three hundred miles after Laoguan belongs to Yuzhou in the inner city.
Before he knew it, Uncle Chang seemed to be flying.
"If it weren't for the approaching winter, I estimate that the four northern states would all be accepted by Chang Silang." Jia Zhou said calmly, "The king of Yuzhou will be the first big fish in this troubled world."
Xu Mu didn't know what to say. It wasn't because he was jealous, but because he was a little worried. Uncle Chang might have fallen down if he took too big a step.
Of course, being in the inner city, whether it is talent, food, ore, Tsuneshiro is definitely in the lead.
"In the direction of Liangzhou, Dong Wen repulsed the 100,000 coalition troops of An and the two prefectures, and killed 30,000. I estimate that in the spring of next year, as soon as winter goes, he will go to An and the two prefectures with great fanfare and occupy them all."
"Lingzhou in the southeast, with the help of the Shanyue people, also captured Wuzhou. The combined land of the two states is powerful."
"On Laizhou Island, 50,000 rebels succeeded in overthrowing the nest, and the rebel leader Ru established himself as king."
"My lord, the struggle for hegemony in troubled times is about to begin."
Xu Mu listened and fell into deep thought for a moment.
In his Shuzhou, even the tiger barbarians are not yet Xiao Qing, and the accumulation of grain and weapon making is still in its infancy. The foundation is too low and the start is too late.
…
"Brother Mu, shall I marry you?" Sihu, who was holding eight steamed buns, had red eyes.
"Brother Tiger is going to be so happy." Han Jiu, who was standing nearby, just started to cheer him without knowing what was going on. He was immediately picked up by Si Hu and threw him out with a sound of "ah".
"Brother Mu, I've told you before that my steamed buns are not portioned enough. I'm only sixteen, and I'm still old enough to grow-"
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead and said, "Si Hu, you're fake. How could I let you marry such a vicious woman?"
"Well, Brother Mu, many people say that I want to marry a witch, and when she comes to Shuzhou to share the steamed buns with me, what should I do?"
"Immediately beat him to death and avenge Mr. Chen." Xu Mu's tone was cold.
This time, Si Hu felt relieved. He hugged the steamed buns and smiled silly at Xu Mu.
"I heard Brother Tiger is getting married? I'm asking for a wedding drink from a certain family——"
The second general had just come running over, but before his voice fell, he was thrown out by Si Hu with a sound of "ah".
