Chapter 645 Qingzhou Tang Family, the youngest Tang Wuyuan
After digesting Huang Daochong's information and having a banquet, Xu Mucai, led by Huang Daochong, headed to the location of the alliance the next day.
The location of the alliance was chosen according to Zuo Shiren's habit of earning fame, and as Xu Mu expected, it was set up on the bank of the river. Brocade carpets were laid out, and rows of high pavilions were built. The girls who came and went to accompany them,
Serving delicious food and wine, the water is flowing.
"King Shu, if our Huang family doesn't join the alliance, we won't be able to pass through." Huang Daochong said seriously.
Xu Mu didn't know that Huang Daochong was worried in his heart. What this all-rounded Kezhou leader was most worried about was getting himself burned.
But this time, Zuo Shiren wanted to make it big and the alliance had already been known to the whole world. Of course, no matter what, as long as he did not participate in the alliance, Xu Mu believed that Huang Daochong would be able to continue to deal with it.
"Thank you, Master Huang."
"That's easy to say."
Huang Daochong sighed, turned around quickly, led the guards who had followed him, and slowly left the alliance area.
After standing for a while, Xu Mu turned around silently.
The alliance in front of us was probably preparing to start. The wind coming from the river was a bit faster, and not many of the leaders of the small alliance had arrived yet.
"King Xu Shu." Just as Xu Mu was thinking, suddenly, a young man wearing a Confucian robe walked up to him.
Si Hu wanted to stop him, but Xu Mu called him away.
"If I guess correctly, you are Xu Mu, the King of Shu." The young man smiled, bowed his head and saluted, and repeated the words.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. Like Zuo Shiren, his face was full of Confucianism, but the difference was that he had a pair of sharp eyebrows, and there was a faint hint of heroic spirit hidden in it.
"Exactly, without instructions——"
"The youngest of the Tang family in Qingzhou is Tang Wuyuan." The young man still bowed his head, "I know that the King of Shu has arrived early, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Xu Mu remained calm. Not only Dongfang Jing, but also Huang Daochong asked him to pay attention to the person in front of him. Tang Wuyuan, the youngest of the Tang family, according to Huang Daochong, is an unparalleled talent.
Of course I want to win over you.
But Xu Mu guessed that behind Tang Wuyuan was the Tang family in Qingzhou. It was unlikely that a well-known Sangong family would surrender to him.
"It turns out it's Brother Tang. I've heard about it for a long time." Xu Mu smiled and returned the greeting, "By the way, Brother Tang has something going on?"
After the family became prosperous, both the Mi Taoist disciples and the Qingzhou Tang family seemed to come over.
"To be fair to the King of Shu, I heard that the King of Shu is the man in the clothes of the young marquis. I, Tang Wuyuan, have always respected the loyalty of the young marquis. I have been waiting for a long time just to catch a glimpse of the man in the clothes."
Xu Mu remained calm.
He likes to hear rainbow farts, but it's just old brothers' mutual praise.
"The world has spread false rumors." Xu Mu shook his head, "This time, you and I will join the Kezhou Alliance to participate in a righteous cause. We hope to cooperate more."
"King Shu, please take your seat."
“Very good.”
Not long after the two of them took their seats, after a while, several more alliance leaders slowly entered the room. The previous Midao Luxiang was following an old white-haired Taoist. He hesitated for a while, but did not come after all.
greet.
The white-haired old man glanced over and was silent for a while, also showing no intention of saying hello.
"It's just the problems that arise in troubled times, and the King of Shu will not pay attention to them." Tang Wuyuan comforted them, "I came back from the inner city specially after knowing about this alliance meeting. Originally, I wanted my brother to come forward and persuade King Ling, so there is no need to recruit them.
These small forces only need the Dongling Tomb of Western Shu and Qingzhou, and that will be enough."
"Loose sand is easy to collapse, it must be because the sand is uneven."
"Brother Tang's wise words. By the way, Brother Tang said earlier that he just rushed back from the inner city?" Xu Mu began to ask tentatively, intentionally or unintentionally.
The birth of the Tang family has always made him feel very abrupt. Normally, a literary and Confucian family only needs to survive the troubled times before it can usher in a new round of rejuvenation opportunities.
But the Tang family went against the grain and wanted to be like warriors and fight for the world. If one person failed, the whole family would be wiped out.
"Exactly." Tang Wuyuan sighed, "To be honest with the King of Shu, I don't know why my brother Tang Yiyuan... was born to become king and gather an army. I guess he was bewitched by the King of Lingzhou."
"Brother Tang, you really dare to say these words."
Tang Wuyuan shook his head seriously, "I still say what I said, Brother Xu, the King of Shu, is the successor of the Young Marquis. I believe in the Young Marquis's vision. I entered the inner city earlier... because I wanted to serve the King of Yuzhou."
Xu Mu was startled, "To serve the King of Yuzhou?"
"My brother's rebellion is inevitable. Therefore, I thought of using myself as a link to vassal the power of the King of Yuzhou so that the Qingzhou family can survive."
When saying this, Tang Wuyuan obviously lowered his voice.
Xu Mu suddenly didn't understand why Tang Wuyuan would tell him everything about such things. You know, whether it is Xishu or Qingzhou, after the alliance, Zuo Shiren must be worshiped as the leader of the alliance.
"The king of Yuzhou is fighting in Hebei, and the big families in the inner city don't like me or the Tang family in Qingzhou. The Changyang Sifang shut them all down behind closed doors and even threw out the greetings. So, I just
If you can, come to Kezhou first to participate in the alliance."
"What the King of Shu doesn't know is that I am actually a person with small ambitions. My biggest thought, like that of the Huang family, is to preserve the Tang family. I only hope that my brother can wake up early, relinquish the throne and return to Qingzhou.
Tangjiazu Town."
Xu Mu laughed, "In these troubled times, everyone has their own way of living. Brother Ling, it's just for the prosperity of the family."
"I hope there will be no misfortune." Tang Wuyuan lamented again, "I'll just wait until the alliance is over and I'll think of some way to send the invitation to the King of Yuzhou, Hebei. Under the current situation, if we want to save the Tang family, we can only vassalize one party.
Great power. It’s a pity that Western Shu is too far away, otherwise, it would be the great shadow of my Tang family."
"Brother Tang is joking. Si Hu, give Brother Tang a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
"Brother Mu, why don't you pour it yourself?"
"Hand hurts."
Si Hu mumbled something, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for both Xu Mu and Tang Wuyuan.
"Thank you so much, King Shu, and thank you so much for this tiger warrior." Tang Wuyuan smiled and bowed to express his thanks.
"If we can successfully defeat the false emperor during this alliance, it will be considered a blessing."
"Brother Tang is talented in both civil and military affairs. In the battle against rebellion, we must rely on Brother Tang."
Tang Wuyuan spoke humbly, "King Shu, don't make fun of me. I know that in Muyun State, Mr. Dongfang, the aide of King Shu, is known as the sixth strategist in the world. His strategy is unparalleled. If there is a chance, I would like to join Muyun even more."
I will visit the state in person. When the time comes, I hope that the King of Shu will not refuse me thousands of miles away like the noble families in the inner city."
"Sweep the couch and wait." Xu Mu answered calmly.
"This couldn't be better." Tang Wuyuan stood up, bowed twice to Xu Mu and then to Si Hu. Then he turned around and left.
"Brother Mu, that man is very good at etiquette. He even bowed to me, so I poured him tea in vain."
Xu Mu didn't say anything, he just picked up the tea cup, poured himself a cup of tea, held it up and drank it slowly.
"Brother Mu, doesn't your hand hurt?"
"It just got better again."
Holding the tea cup, Xu Mu suddenly frowned, looked at Tang Wuyuan's back, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
