The cavalry of 300 people, led by Wei Feng, continued to clear the way at the front patrol posts.
The closer we get to Shuzhou, the colder the temperature becomes. The wheels of the cart run over the thin frosty snow, leaving two deep and shallow ruts that extend all the way.
On the carriage, Jia Zhou had already fallen asleep. Afraid of getting cold, Xu Mu took out another mattress and blanket, being careful to put it on Jia Zhou.
Si Hu was riding a horse outside the carriage, gnawing on the hardened steamed buns, and his voice was a little louder. Xu Mu glared at him, then stuffed the whole bun into his mouth, bulging his eyes and swallowed.
After adding a round of crushed charcoal to the hand stove and allowing ventilation, Xu Mu got out of the carriage. General Feng put down his horse's legs and ran over quickly, carrying Xu Mu on his back.
"Wei Feng, we have a few days until we reach the inner city."
"My lord, it's not far away. Look, there is the Mountain Hunting Village in front of you."
Shanye Village was the place where he lived back then. It was near Shanye Village that he met Jia Zhou for the first time. He pretended to worship Jia Zhou in order to gain fame, and then lit the fire of rebellion before meeting Jia Zhou.
Here comes his lord.
"If the military advisor had not been seriously ill, I would not have had to go back. I also sold eight copper coins in the corner of the ancestral hall and forgot to take them away."
"Eight copper coins, only two big steamed buns."
"Brother Tiger, no matter how much you eat, you won't grow brains."
"Boy Wei, if you have the guts, dismount and challenge!"
"Hey, let's compete with each other, whoever is bigger will be right!"
…
Xu Mu was too lazy to listen to the chatter of these two people. He raised his head and looked at the scene ahead. It had been almost a year since he left the inner city.
This time, it’s a return to the old place.
Of course, things and people in his hometown have changed, and the little marquis he respected the most has long been buried in the green mountains.
There is no feeling of returning home in rich clothes. Until now, he has been begging for life. From a little stickman, he begged for a king of Shu who sat in fourteen counties.
But it is still very dangerous.
Wei Feng suddenly came over, his face full of solemnity.
"What?"
"Lord, there are sentries ahead."
It’s not surprising that there are sentries in Shuzhou. The separatist forces in troubled times will set up patrols at the border. However, with Chang Wei’s temperament, if he returns to the inner city first, he will definitely notify these sentries to make way for them.
.
"Lord, these people won't let you go. What can I say? I want to go back to Changyang City and ask the prince."
Xu Mu frowned, this was obviously a delaying tactic. If he were to block him all the way, Jia Zhou's condition would have to be delayed.
Riding a horse, Xu Mu stepped in front of the gate. Looking up, he only found a simple wooden wall. On the balcony of the wall, stood a young captain.
"Who are you? Please quickly present the ultimatum for entering the customs."
"Did General Chang not leave a message?"
The captain on the wall paused, his expression suddenly becoming complicated.
"This is an important place in the inner city. Please allow me to inform Changyang before we make a decision!"
"I don't know which family you are from."
The captain's face was silent and he didn't answer.
"You should know who I am." Xu Mu raised his head coldly, "I went from the inner city to Shuzhou, and you are still wearing crotch pants. If not, you can stop me and try."
"I killed someone and saw blood. The worst I can do is go to the King of Yuzhou and pay for a glass of water and wine, and I will be the one to expose him."
"And you died in vain."
The captain's face became sad when he heard this.
"Wei Feng, lead people to rush over. If anyone dares to stop you, use the knife immediately."
Xu Mu rode back with unspeakable anger on his face.
"Don't make any mistakes. If you try otherwise, I will kill you with my bow and arrow——"
"Try it!" Xu Mu turned around coldly and interrupted directly.
The captain's face suddenly turned pale with shock.
"Pass the whistle!"
Xu Mu drew out his long sword and spoke in a deep voice. More than a dozen Shuzhou soldiers standing by quickly raised their shields to protect him on his left and right.
"Du Tou, can't you cum..."
The captain on the walled city turned pale with depression. There were also only a few hundred people in this post. It could even be said that they still had an advantage in terms of numbers.
But he didn't dare.
The shadow of the famous tree, this king of Shuzhou, is an upright and ruthless man who kills with one sword.
"Du Tou, it's time to pass the whistle!"
The captain was trembling all over and wanted to give orders several times, but finally stopped abruptly.
"I, Xu Mu, just want to ask, are you listening to the words of the King of Yuzhou or the words of a staff member?"
"Give me a pass!" The captain's face suddenly turned red and he shouted angrily.
The Shu governor's team of more than 300 people finally passed the first post in the inner city safely.
As they continued to move forward, Xu Mu knew without even thinking how many people would be blocking them. The purpose was to drag Jia Zhou to death in the carriage.
"Don't ask for a sword back. If anyone dares to block the way, use the sword to kill him! If you can't kill him, kill him. When I go to Changyang, I will ask Chang Xiaotang if he really plans to break up with me!"
Xu Mu grimaced and roared coldly on the snow.
It's not just that he and Chang Shiro are in a cooperative relationship. To put it simply, if Jia Zhou is dragged to death here, this old friend will be dead.
…
Liu Ji was alone, standing on a tall building in Changyang City, with a heavy expression on his face. After this incident, his lord would definitely blame him.
But there is no other way. The Lord values righteousness and he can only be a knife once.
Instead of killing King Xu Shu, I only plan to kill the Poisonous Osprey.
Of course, he wanted to kill Xu Mu more, but in this case, his lord would definitely go crazy, and before he could conquer the world, he would have to bear the reputation of a traitor who killed his friends. Relatively speaking, killing a military advisor seemed insignificant.
There will probably be people who advise him, "Shuzhou is still far from the inner city", "Shuzhou is only one state with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses"... He doesn't believe this. He only understands that a small boss who emerged from troubled times can
We worked hard at every step and built a huge Shuzhou.
In the future, it is very likely that he will become the opponent of his lord.
"Break off his arm and trap Shuzhou to death." Liu Ji's face became more and more serious.
"military adviser!"
Several generals from aristocratic families walked over in a hurry.
"King Xu Shu broke through five checkpoints in a row and entered the inner city. The captains of two of the posts did not give way and were killed on the spot!"
Liu Ji turned around and his tone was extremely calm.
"Where is my lord?"
"I'm still in Changyang. I'll prepare a banquet myself."
Liu Ji closed his eyes.
"Send five thousand soldiers, disguised as rebels, to stop the Shu people."
"Military advisor, can you kill me?"
"If King Xu Shu insists on going forward again, find a way to kill the poisonous owl in the carriage. After the incident, I will go to Changyang to plead guilty. This matter is my own doing and has nothing to do with you."
"Also, what happened to the miracle doctor?"
"Can't kill." There was a middle-aged general from a noble family with an angry look on his face.
"General Huwei, who was a guard, has been arranging his troops to guard near the Huichun Hall."
"He has grown up." Liu Ji opened his eyes, his eyes flashing faintly.
"No matter what, this time, it will be up to me, Liu Zhongde, to stabilize the great cause and eliminate hidden dangers for my lord!" This chapter has been completed!
