"My lord, go away now, Muyunzhou will be safe." On the bank of the river, there was a sound of respect from the east.
The time for alliance is coming soon.
Afraid of causing trouble, Xu Mu had previously sent someone to ask Huang Daochong of Kezhou. But he found that Zuo Shiren really wanted to play a big game this time.
"The meeting place is not too far from the Xiangjiang River. I have asked Ma Yi to set up a camp on the opposite bank of the river. If the Lord is in danger, he will enter through the forest to avoid the killing first. Then use the signal, Ma Yi
I will take someone to pick you up."
Xu Mu nodded. He understood that Dongfang Jing, an aide, was worried about his own safety, so he set up such a plan. However, in Xu Mu's view, Zuo Shiren may not have murderous intentions towards him. On the contrary,
It is the Cangzhou royal family that is Dongling’s biggest nightmare.
"Lord, take care of yourself all the way."
The river wind roared, causing people's robes to flutter. Dongfang Jing, who was sitting on a wooden wheel, bowed seriously to say goodbye.
Xu Mu returned the greeting and turned around to board the building boat.
"Bo Lie, don't work hard at night and take care of yourself. I, Xu Mu, still need Bo Lie to make decisions about the world."
"I would like to follow my lord."
Raising his head, the lame Dongfang Jing's eyes were red, and his face was full of reluctance.
…
The time for the alliance is actually four days away. But if we include the distance, it is almost time to set off now.
Accompanying him along the way was only one general of the Xu family's army and three thousand Shu soldiers.
Of course, there is also my good brother Si Hu, who is wearing heavy armor and carrying an ax. He looks so ferocious that even the fish in the river dare not show his head.
After walking on the waterway for about half a day, we only waited until we got close to the north bank, then got off the boat and changed our steps. However, we never thought that at this moment, several small river boats suddenly blocked the way.
There was no carelessness. After the leading Shuzhou general Pi gave the order steadily, the Shu soldiers on the boat drew their swords and raised their bows, looking coldly at the boat blocking the river.
"Shout! If there is no response, we will be attacked by the enemy!"
Xu Mu was sitting on the bow of the boat and gave no orders to stop General Pi. In these troubled times, there were many people in the world who wanted to kill him.
Especially those noble families who wanted to crush him into the dust.
"My lord, I am a Taoist priest from Mi Taoist disciples. I would like to board the boat to talk to my lord." After a while, Pi will return to his destiny.
"Mi Dao disciple."
In Night Owl's information, it is occasionally mentioned that the Mi Dao disciples are the most popular civilian rebel army in the area near Dongling. Unlike the Xia'er Army, the Xia'er Army saves the country with chivalry. However, the Mi Dao disciples are more of a group of hard-working people.
For people to join the Taoism, those who join the Taoism must donate a bushel of rice. The teachings promoted are more interesting, and it is called "No matter high or low, all people in the world should eat from the same trough."
In this world, there is a lot of despair that you cannot see, as well as all kinds of conspiracies for power and power.
"Let them get on board."
Blocking the river halfway is either to ask for something or to do business. Xu Mu hopes it is the latter.
Soon, an old man in colorful robes and two middle-aged disciples slowly boarded the ship. After passing the inspection area, he carefully removed the sword and placed it on the ship's plank.
"Midao Luxiang, pay homage to the King of Shu."
The old man's colorful robe was fluttering and he bowed to Xu Mu. After him, the other two middle-aged disciples did the same.
"Without courtesy. Come and give me a seat for you, sir." Xu Mu raised his face in the river breeze. He was very curious about what he, the King of Western Shu, had to do with Mi Taoist disciples coming to him.
"Sir, you must be waiting impatiently. If the soldiers in our unit had been more tempered earlier, I'm afraid they would have shot them with their bows drawn immediately."
"After waiting for three days, I finally met the King of Shu. I am really a little anxious. I would like to ask the King of Shu to forgive me."
"What's the crime?" Xu Mu shook his head, "Tell me, sir, why did you have to wait for me halfway so hard?"
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "The King of Shu also knows that this time we are participating in the charity event in Kezhou, and I, Dongling Mi Dao, am also an alliance force."
"Everyone has the responsibility to save the country and kill the false emperor. If you have anything to do, old gentleman, you can speak up."
Anyone can talk about building connections. But for this kind of small alliance, like Dongling Midao, you don't need to think about it. It must be Zuo Shiren's method to get a seat.
Lu Xiang hesitated for a while, knowing that Xu Mu in front of him was not easy to fool, so he simply spoke seriously.
"King of Shu, I have a suggestion. Everyone in the world knows that King Shu is kind and loves his people. This foundation of governing the world is very similar to my Mi Dao. If not, I, Mi Dao, will enter Western Shu and educate the people on behalf of King Shu. This is how
First, the benevolent government of Western Shu——"
"I refuse." Xu Mu said without thinking.
Xishu is a pure land, and he doesn't want to provoke any Taoist disciples. Most of these people who wear the cloak of salvation have hidden selfish desires. As a man of two generations, Xu Mu is very familiar with this method.
The border of Western Shu was tightly guarded. Due to this, Mi Dao disciples were unable to migrate from Dongling into Shu. Of course, even if they migrated, Xu Mu would drive them out with sticks.
"King of Shu, what you see in front of you is already a filthy and chaotic world. I, a Taoist disciple, put kindness and love for the people first. All people are equal and eat from the same trough. If we come to Shu to help, it will be a big deal to the king of Shu.
With the help of Dongling Zuoren, it is my Taoist disciple Mi who spreads his teachings widely to help the world, so that we can achieve today's glory."
"In that case, the old gentleman should stay in Dongling. There is no need to go to Xishu, where they are full of barbarians and uncivilized people." Xu Mu smiled.
No matter how much you boast, if you dare to enter a Taoist disciple in Xishu, I will kill one of you.
"Mr. Lu, Western Shu is not only uneducated, but also has a lot of barbarians. As the king of Shu, I would like to advise you not to think about going to Shu to spread Taoism. If not, you will be killed by the rebellious people in Shu, and your body will not be recovered.
of."
Speaking of which, even a fool understood what Xu Mu meant.
Lu Xiang's face darkened, but in an instant, his face became as bright as a spring breeze.
"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll just wait for the King of Shu to go to the alliance and talk with you again."
"That's easy to say."
Xu Mu calmly clasped his fists.
Lu Xiang stood up, saluted again, picked up his sword, and slowly walked downstairs to the boat.
"Brother Mu, who are these people?" Si Hugang was squatting aside, listening in confusion.
"You're cheating." Xu Mu frowned.
After leaving Xishu and entering Dongling in the south of the Yangtze River, he discovered that this dark world was already full of all kinds of branches.
If these Mi Taoists continue to spread their faith and spread all over the world, they will be in thirty states. By then, I am afraid that "the world will be prosperous at the age of sixty years".
This is also the reason why Xu Mu insists on not letting rice roads enter Sichuan. The root of the disaster starts from the bottom. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. And rice roads are the hidden mountain torrents that capsize boats.
Of course, everyone has their own ways. In troubled times, everyone shows off their magical powers and the weak eats the strong. Until one day, when the new dynasty ushered in, these damn ghosts and evil spirits disappeared all of a sudden like little ghosts who cannot see the sun.
not see.
"Ignore it, continue sailing, and try to reach Kezhou as early as possible." Xu Mu stood up and looked at the few river boats scattered in front of him.
"In addition, when we get close to the shore, we will send someone to inform Huang Daochong first and tell him that I want to see him."
