Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1325 Departure
Seeing the smile on Ying Baoyue's face, Qian Duoduo's heart was pounding.

He seemed to have guessed who Ying Baoyue would go looking for.

After all, when it comes to the most famous general in the world who can lead soldiers, he can only think of one person.

The world's famous generals have withered for a long time.

Back then, Emperor Taizu, Emperor Ying, was able to travel all over the world, not because of Lin Shubai, the chief commander.

Once upon a time, great Qin generals emerged in large numbers, surrounding the Emperor Taizu like stars

As for Da Qin's brightest generals, besides Da Si Ming and Shao Si Ming, there are three more.

Those are the three founding heroes, General Mu You of Hussars, General Jin Cheng of Chariots, and General Long Xiang Guiming.

These three people were all born in the family of generals in the Great Qin Dynasty. When the three of them were the heads of the family, these three families also reached their peak.

However, prosperity is bound to decline, and almost none of the three families of Guijia, Jin's, and Mu's had a happy ending.

The most miserable one was the Jin family. The males were almost slaughtered. At first, the Emperor Taizu ordered that only males over five years old should be killed, but I don’t know if the Taizu had a secret decree. The grandsons also died in exile.

The Jin family has been wiped out.

The second is returning home. The returning family members are few, and the heir is a mediocre person, so he escaped the slaughter.

Daqin Sanxiong, both of them have returned to the west.

But to everyone's surprise, in this massacre of the founding heroes, Mu You, the oldest hussar general among the three heroes, survived.

Mu You handed over his military power, reported his son for accepting bribes, sent the eldest son to the guillotine with his own hands, and then led the whole family back to the mountains and forests.

This move can be called the most ruthless person in the world.

When Qian Duoduo investigated the information, he was shocked by this incident.

At the same time, what shocked him was Mu You's age. It was said that Mu You had already reached the age of seventy when he reported his son. He personally took his grandfather's son to the Golden Palace with a cane. The Emperor Taizu was still afraid of this old general. He pissed himself off to death, and even comforted him that there were not many unworthy descendants in his family.

The Mu family's retreat in the mountains is really a retreat in the mountains. Except for Mu You's vain job, none of the descendants of the Mu family became an official after returning to the hermit. Afterwards, there were many disturbances in the former Qin Dynasty, and the King of Qin couldn't find anyone to find Mu You to come out of the mountains.

Because Mu You still held a vain position called Shangzhu Kingdom in the former Qin Dynasty, according to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, when Mu You passed away, his descendants had to send an obituary to the imperial court.

But Qianqin has not received an obituary so far, which proves that Mu You is probably still alive.

If Mu Yu is still alive, he should be at least 80 years old by now.

You must know that military generals suffered from many injuries in their early years, and it is considered longevity if they can live past 50 years old, and Mu Youliu was still able to lead troops to fight when he was 70 years old.

It's almost like an old monster.

Thinking of when Ying Baoyue chose the route, he planned to pass through a dense forest on the border of Daqin, Qian Bofang swallowed his saliva and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go to the Mu family?"

"That's right," Ying Baoyue nodded, "The Mu family has been hiding for many years and has its own method. If you ask the Mu family to borrow troops, I'm afraid you can really disappear."

Even though he firmly believed in Ying Baoyue, Qian Bofang couldn't understand her words, "Borrow soldiers? Where does the Mu family have soldiers?"

The Mu family is indeed the only remaining number one general in the world, but the Mu family has lost military power for many years.

You must know that the Mu family's retreat was carried out under the supervision of Emperor Taizu. With the shrewdness of that emperor, even if the Mu family brought an extra kitchen knife, they would be noticed, and every soldier would die.

What's more, although there are many descendants of the Mu family, none of them are outstanding in terms of cultivation ability. The most outstanding was the eldest son who was exterminated by Mu You's righteousness, but he was only in the God Dance realm. Sixth, under such circumstances, no high-level practitioners could be born, so Emperor Taizu was relieved to let the Mu family and others go into seclusion.

In addition, in the past few years, although the former Qin could not find any trace of the Mu family, the mountain forest where the Mu family retreated had been guarded by spies for many years. If soldiers entered, they would be reported to the former Qin king immediately.

It is absolutely impossible for the Mu family to control other forces.

Qian Bofang suspected that Ying Baoyue was in a hurry to go to the doctor, looked at her hesitant to speak, "Your Highness, the Mu family has already..."

"I know," Ying Baoyue nodded with a smile, "Back then Mu You took the whole family back to the mountains and forests, and indeed he didn't bring a single soldier with him."

"But their family already had a lot of soldiers," Ying Baoyue mused while resting his chin, "Besides, after ten years, I'm afraid there are quite a few more soldiers."

what?
Chamberfang was at a loss.

Does the Mu family have soldiers? What does it have to do with time?
We must know that no matter how good a family is, it is unlikely to retain its original glory even if it has been isolated from the world for more than ten years.

He had never heard of the fact that the army could grow over time. Generally, the more they fight, the less they fight. What's more, even Ying Baoyue himself said that the Mu family retired without soldiers.

Where did the soldiers of the Mu family come from?
"Duo Duo, you may not know one thing," Ying Baoyue smiled slightly, "The Mu family itself is an army."

Chamberfang's eyes widened.

What do you mean?
"Duo Duo, you have investigated Mu You, what do you think is the most powerful in him?"

Qian Bofang hesitated, "Decision-making power, Qimen gossip and... longevity?"

It is said that Mu You is good at Qimen gossip. He used to be a disciple of the Mohist School among the hundreds of scholars in the previous dynasty. He is not good at charging but good at defending...

"No," Ying Baoyue shook his head when he heard the words, "Of course he is very good at fighting, but that's not what Master and I admired most about him back then."

"What is that?" Chamberfang was puzzled.

"Duo Duo, do you know how many children Mu You has?"

Qian Bofang was taken aback when he heard the words, could it be that...

"Mu You has 35 sons and [-] daughters," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "this is the number before he retired."

She doesn't know if there has been any growth during the ten years of hermitage, but it probably has...

It’s not a big deal that Mu You has many sons, but what’s even more frightening is that Mu You has more than a dozen brothers, and each brother has dozens of children. Mu You’s sons and daughters are also very prolific. Mu You's great-great-grandsons have all been born, and there are quite a few of them.

The Mu family is indeed not a family that produces high-level practitioners in large numbers, but Ying Baoyue suspects that the reason for this is probably because there are too many heirs to cultivate one by one.

The Mu family doesn't have any particularly strong cultivation genes, but in Ying Baoyue's view, the most terrifying thing about the Mu family is their ability to reproduce.

Being able to manage such a huge family well, the descendants are not particularly troublesome, and Mu You is worthy of being a famous general in the world.

In her previous life, Ying Baoyue went to Mu's house once, and saw with her own eyes the scene where thousands of descendants had dinner together. It was really...

It's a fight with the military camp.

But for such a large family, the cost of supporting it is extremely high. Even though Mu You managed the family well, and the Emperor Taizu gave him a lot of wealth, there should be a limit to the time the Mu family can retire.

Ying Baoyue looked at the setting sun.

Is that old man watching the sunset like she is?
Waiting for the day.

able to start again.
