"No, I know you, you are General Shao." Mu Yingliu frowned and said firmly.
Girl, it’s not that I don’t want to admit it, but there is really no way. Who let a dog outside look at my tail? Shao Yan secretly complained, but he saw that someone had poked a small hole in the window paper outside the door, and occasionally it could still
He saw an eyeball rolling around, and the look in his eyes was very vulgar, so he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said: "Uncle, everything is good in Guizhai. The only shortcoming is that there are some people with ill intentions who like to play behind the scenes."
It's a sneaky trick. To be honest, Shi is not used to being monitored like a prisoner."
Uncle Mu was confused after hearing this and said in confusion: "I don't understand what Mr. Shi means. Please make it clear to Mr. Shi."
Shao Yan smiled and did not continue, but secretly winked at Mu Ying. Mu Ying quickly reacted, then turned his gaze to the black figure outside, and yelled: "Who is outside the door?
?Come out quickly”
Mu Zhiping turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Mu Ying. He had no choice but to shamelessly come to the living room. He looked like a prisoner facing interrogation. From time to time, he raised his head and glanced at Shao Yan, with a fierce look on his face.
Seeing that the person eavesdropping at the door was his nephew, Uncle Mu felt somewhat sorry for himself and sternly scolded: "Zhiping, this is your fault. If you have anything to say or anything to do, we can all sit down and discuss it together. Why?"
Do you have to eavesdrop outside the door?"
Mu Zhiping lowered his head with red ears and hesitated: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I was just passing by by chance."
Day, do you think I am a fool? Shao Yan chuckled and said, "Uncle, please stop blaming Mr. Mu. Maybe he has good intentions and wants to protect us at the door."
Mu Zhiping was worried about not getting off the stage, but Shao Yan gave him a step down. How could this guy miss this opportunity? He hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, I saw that your doors were all open, for fear that someone would be interested."
This Mr. Shao - Mr. Shi is in a bad situation, so he has to take this step."
Shao Yan wanted to laugh and thought to himself, I'm already thick enough, but I didn't expect this guy to be several times thicker than me. What a talent.
"Is this really the case?" Uncle Mu said dubiously.
Mu Zhiping hummed happily, then turned to face Mu Ying next to him and said: "Sister Ying, since uncle and Mr. Shi have something important to discuss, we'd better not disturb them, let's go out first."
When he saw him talking, his eyes were as tender as water, just like a male wolf in love. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this guy was pursuing this girl, but this girl didn't seem to have any feelings for him, and just nodded lightly.
He nodded and then left the room with him.
"Master Shi, I'm really sorry, Zhiping -"
"Oh, Uncle Mu, please don't be too outspoken." Shao Yan interrupted him directly and said with a slight smile: "In Shi's opinion, Master Zhiping just now may have been out of curiosity. He is also a kind and righteous person.
, Naturally, there will be no other evil thoughts." On the surface, he tried his best to defend this guy, but in his heart, he gritted his teeth with hatred. Grandma, if he was affectionate and righteous, the earth would stop spinning immediately. Sun, this kid is not a good person at all.
Bird, I've given him enough face, I hope he won't cause any trouble
"It's rare for Mr. Shi to be so reasonable. Mr. Mu admires him so much." Uncle Mu bowed.
"You're welcome," Shao Yan said as he asked Chang Yixiao and several other men to retreat. When he was sure that only he and Uncle Mu were left in the room, he said directly: "Uncle, this is the man your daughter helped.
General, there was a lot of inconvenience just now, so——"
Uncle Mu chuckled: "General Shao, no need to say more. In fact, from the moment I saw you, I had doubts about your identity. The reason why I called Ying'er just now was also to confirm your identity.
I didn’t expect you to be from the Donglin Kingdom—" At this point, his face darkened, he hurriedly threw himself on the ground, and kowtowed softly: "Mu Boqing, a common man, has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Shao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle Mu, what are you doing? You are kneeling to the sky and kneeling to the emperor, why did you kneel up to Shao? What you did is being unkind and unjust."
"Your Majesty, you can hide it from others but not from ordinary people." As he said, he looked around quietly, came to Shao Yan and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that day in Changqing City, you asked
Have you ever heard of two fortune tellers telling fortunes?"
Shao Yan couldn't help but look suspicious. He took a closer look at the Uncle Mu in front of him and found that he looked very similar to one of the old fortune tellers. He said in surprise: "You mean you are the old gentleman who told my fortune?
"
Mu Boqing nodded, "They are just grassroots people."
"What about the other old gentleman?"
"Died a few days ago"
"Dead?"
"That's right, life and death are determined by destiny. No one can change his own destiny, including us fortune tellers. We can only calculate for others, but we can never calculate our own destiny." Mu Boqing sighed deeply.
tone
Shao Yan did not stay on this topic for too long. Then, he told Mu Boqing the purpose of his trip. Mu Boqing heard that he was going to the capital alone and couldn't help but sweat for him.
After learning about the crisis in Luojing City, Mu Boqing was anxious and angry, and expressed his willingness to hand over the command of all the troops under his jurisdiction to Shao Yan
Listening to Mu Boqing's story, he was originally a legitimate herdsman. Later, Liang Jun captured several cities in succession. Jin Dingguo was so happy that every time he captured a city, he would indulge his men in misbehaving, burning, killing, robbing, raping, and committing adultery.
Wait, it can be said that they committed all kinds of evil. Some people could not bear their atrocities and fled out of the city one after another and came to the endless prairie. Mu Boqing was a patriot. Of course he would not remain indifferent to this situation, so he joined forces
Some nearby herdsmen, together with these common people, raised troops to resist the oppression of Liang Jun.
One night, he quietly sneaked into the Liang Army camp with a few herdsmen, intending to assassinate the enemy's supreme commander Jin Dingguo. Unexpectedly, he accidentally saw several generals from the Donglin Kingdom colluding with Jin Dingguo.
The generals are Zhao Zijian, Zheng Qingyi, Yuan Chang, Li Guangyou, etc. According to conversations between the two parties, it was learned that Jin Dingguo instructed them to plan a mutiny. Once successful, these people would immediately be promoted several levels in a row.
When Mu Boqing heard the news, he quickly sent someone to deliver the letter to Donglin Camp. Unfortunately, the subordinate was killed by Zhao Zijian on the way. Fortunately, he swallowed the letter before he died, so Zhao Zijian did not notice it.
Bo Qing didn't hear back for a long time, so he had to turn into a fortune teller with a friend, and deliberately set up a stall within Shao Yan's sight...
The whole story of Guo Mu was just like a TV show. The more Shao Yan listened, the more interesting he became. Finally, he laughed casually and said, "Uncle Mu, how did you know that I would go to your stall to tell fortunes?"
"Actually, the common people weren't sure at the time. It's just that there was no response from the messengers we sent, so we decided to take this step. We thought we'd risk it all. The worst we could do was die. Finally, God opened our eyes and allowed us to meet you." Uncle Mu sighed.
He took a breath and said: "We originally wanted to tell you the truth, but we didn't expect that someone was following you behind your back."
Shao Yan took over and said, "So you just hide this mystery in the word 'Tai'?"
"Your Majesty is wise," Uncle Mu said helplessly: "Unfortunately, tragedy still happened later. The common people heard that Concubine Yun died in this incident."
"If it weren't for your reminder, my losses would have been even greater." Shao Yan couldn't help but think of his death in his mind, and his eye circles gradually turned red.
After the fortune telling that day, in line with the principle of "I would rather trust something that is there than trust something that is not there", he secretly asked Chang Yixiao, Cheng Yong and others to closely monitor everyone in the camp. As a result, he soon noticed the secrets of Zhao Zijian and others.
Due to the lack of evidence on hand, he had to put it aside for the time being. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zijian and others came to preemptively strike. Fortunately, Cheng Yong had organized part of the team under him, otherwise Zhao Zijian and others would have taken away more than 10,000 people.
Seeing that he kept shaking his head and sighing, Mu Boqing said that he was the one who mentioned his sad things, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, common people should not mention your sad things. Common people are guilty."
"Uncle has said before, we are all our own people, what crime is not guilty?" Shao Yan walked over and blocked the door, then walked to him and whispered: "Uncle, we came to Beijing in disguise this time, for
To avoid unnecessary complications, please be sure to conceal your identity for me, including Miss Mu Ying."
Uncle Mu nodded: "Then I will still call you Mr. Shi from now on."
"Yeah" Shao Yan smiled slightly
The two then chatted about some topics about combat. Just as they were enjoying their conversation, there was a sudden knock on the door. Mu Boqing hurriedly opened the door, and a minion knocked on the door in a panic.
He said: "Uncle Mu, something bad has happened. Many people have come down from the mountain."
Mu Boqing was stunned, "Who are they? Are they officers and soldiers? Liang soldiers or Chu soldiers?"
"No, they are all wearing common people's clothes, but they are all armed with weapons. There are at least several hundred of them, and - and -"
"And what?"
"And they asked us to let Master Shi go by name."
Shao Yan thought it must be the men he brought with him, so he whispered something into Mu Boqing's ear. Mu Boqing had a slight smile on his face, and immediately asked the soldier to retreat and told the mountain
Brothers must not act rashly
After a while, the two of them walked out of the hall and walked toward the top of the mountain. Shao Yan stood on the top of the mountain, leaning down and looking towards the foot of the mountain. He saw that the narrow path was full of people, even halfway up the mountain. Although they were
The common people were all dressed up, but they were all very brave. When they found Shao Yan, they kept raising their weapons and shouting: "Let Boss Shi go, let go of Boss Shi!"
"Why are you making such a fuss? If any of you dare to make any more noise, I'll skin you alive." The voice came from halfway up the mountain.
Shao Yan lowered his head and saw that the person speaking was none other than the arrogant young master Mu Zhiping. Mu Ying was standing beside him, but he saw this guy moving closer to Mu Ying from time to time while he was talking. Mu Ying
His face was obviously unnatural, and he instinctively took two steps back, but Mu Zhiping followed him shamelessly.
"Everyone, please go back. I'm fine here." Shao Yan found a commanding height and said to the five hundred soldiers.
The soldiers then put away their weapons and dispersed to the side. Mu Zhiping seemed to be very unhappy and said angrily at the top of his voice: "Master Shi, your generals gathered to make trouble. What do they think this place is?
Shi Mansion? It’s ridiculous, who doesn’t know that this area within a hundred miles is our Mu family’s territory, how can they come and leave whenever they say?”
"Zhiping, please stop talking to me. Do you know who Mr. Shi is? He——"
Before Mu Boqing could continue, Shao Yan sneered at Mu Zhiping and said: "Of course I know that this area within a hundred miles is your Mu family's territory. I will apologize to Mr. Mu on behalf of the generals."
Kneel before him
"Apologise?" Mu Zhiping snorted coldly and said angrily: "I'm sorry, I don't want to accept this trick from you. I say Master Shi, you'd better find out whose territory this is. If your people make trouble, just think about it."
Just leave, how can there be such an easy thing in the world?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Shao Yan said with a smile.
"When my subordinates make mistakes, it's probably because the master didn't teach them well. In this way, you can roll down the mountainside, and all our previous unhappiness will be wiped out." Mu Zhiping said while pointing to the high and steep slope below, with a glint in his eyes.
