The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 4 Entering Kyoto

On the official road, all the corpses have been buried, and the traces of the battle have been completely erased.

No one will know what kind of tragic battle just happened here, only the strong killing intent and blood are still reverberating between the heaven and the earth.

Chang Guangsheng was standing beside the carriage, bidding farewell to Mu Qing.

Looking at his old friend for many years, Mu Qing said with a little worry: "Old Chang, you should come to Beijing with me to meet the Holy Majesty, and have a long-term plan."

Chang Guangsheng understood Mu Qing's intentions, and said lightly: "It's okay, I have personal guards, and be careful to hide your whereabouts on the road, as long as you get to the desert, these thieves will not be able to run away from my West Pole horse."

Mu Qing was still a little worried and said: "The thieves are powerful, I'm afraid you will be in danger along the way, I'll send some guards with you."

Chang Guangsheng laughed and said: "It's okay, I'm the governor of Xiji State. I use your Yuan Pavilion as a guard, and it's a lot of trouble to be taken to the holy place. Besides, Xiao Xiao is not in the eyes of my lunatic. .”

When he said this, Chang Guangsheng showed a domineering expression, and Ji Hai and other soldiers beside him also showed fanaticism.

Having defended the border for the country for decades, why should I be afraid of you? This is the pride of Xia Guo's border guards, and also Chang Guangsheng's pride.

Knowing that it was difficult to persuade this old friend, Mu Qing said, "Then you must be careful. I will give you the contact information of the head of Yuan Pavilion in Xiji Prefecture. If you have any urgent news, you can use my news channel of Yuan Pavilion."

Chang Guangsheng nodded: "Okay, Yun'er"

Chang Yun heard the words and came forward.

Chang Guangsheng looked at his only son, and said to Mu Qing: "Yun'er lost her mother since she was a child, and has been growing up with me in the West Pole, and has fought in the battlefield. I want him to stay in the capital for a while, please." You take care of me."

Chang Yun was in a hurry: "Father, I'm not going to the capital, I want to go back to the West Pole with you."

Chang Guangsheng ignored it, and continued to say to Mu Qing: "He's still pretty smart, and his martial arts skills are not bad. After a while, please help him arrange something to do. He always hangs out with us Qiuba in the west. Not what I wanted."

Chang Yun wanted to say something, but Chang Guangsheng gave him a hard look and swallowed the words.

Mu Qing replied solemnly: "Okay, I will take him by my side to take care of him. Whether it is studying literature or martial arts, official career or business career, I will take good care of him."

The promise of the Pavilion Master of the Yuan Pavilion is extremely important.

The two old friends of 20 years looked at each other and understood each other's mind.

Chang Guangsheng knew that he had fallen into a huge conspiracy. The thieves not only stole countless military equipment from the Xia Kingdom, but also had a strong army of dead soldiers to drive them.But as the governor of the Xiji State of Xia Kingdom, no matter how strong the opponent is, I will defeat you in the Xiji State, and I will not hesitate to break my body to pieces.

Mu Qing had already understood Chang Guangsheng's intention to ask Gu Gu, and he made a solemn promise that if something happened to Chang Guangsheng, he would not only protect Chang Yun, but also find out who was behind the scenes, avenge him, and protect Xia Guo's safety .

"Yun'er," Chang Guangsheng called Chang Yun: "Pavilion Master Mu has been my father's friend for many years, you must listen carefully to his teachings in the future, and you must not make mistakes with Meng Lang."

Chang Yun knew that once his father made a decision, there was absolutely no possibility of changing it, so he could only nod his head, holding back his tears.

Chang Guangsheng explained again: "Although you have some martial arts skills, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. Don't be complacent, or you will be killed soon."

Chang Yun quickly agreed, and bowed to Mu Qing again, expressing his admiration.

Mu Qing nodded lightly, as if appreciative.

Chang Guangsheng took out a short knife and handed it to Chang Yun: "This knife is father's trophy. It is said that it is Prince Ule's personal saber, so I leave it to you."

Chang Yun took the dagger, and couldn't help but feel a sore nose. He had wanted this knife for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be in his hands under such circumstances.Don't allow Chang Yun to think too much, Chang Guangsheng has already stepped into the carriage: "Let's go."

Ji Hai and the other soldiers got on their horses, and the whole convoy drove in the same direction as it had come.

Chang Yun couldn't bear it any longer, and said loudly, "Father, be careful all the way."

Chang Guangsheng never looked back.

Under the setting sun, Lu, who was rushing on the official road, heard the wind, and the strong man was on his way home.

Chang Yun stared blankly at the direction in which the convoy disappeared, holding the dagger that Chang Guangsheng had left for him.

Mu Qing stepped forward, patted Chang Yun's shoulder lightly, and said, "Don't look, follow me back to Beijing."

A long time ago, Xiao Qi drove to Mu Qing's black carriage, and the lost Chang Yun followed Mu Qing into the carriage.

The mysterious tiger shooters left on their own after cleaning the battlefield. Their targets were too big to be accompanied by escorts.

Facing this old friend's son, Mu Qing finally felt warm, and said softly: "Your father has always been someone I admire, and we have been friends for more than 20 years."

Chang Yun replied: "But I have never heard my father talk about being acquainted with Mu, Pavilion Master Mu."

Mu Qing said with a smile: "I am of the same generation as your father, you can just call me Uncle Mu from now on."

Chang Yun could not help but take a closer look at Mu Qing. Others said that he was the most terrifying person in the Xia Kingdom. He knew exactly what each minister had for dinner and when the head of the enemy country went to bed every night. Even the royal secrets were kept secret. It's all under his control.His subordinate Yuan Ge first focused on inquiring about news, and then on assassination. It was rumored that he had ordered people to poison and kill tens of thousands of women and children staying in the old camp in Beidi when Beidi invaded Xia Kingdom.In Yunyan Grassland, the name of Yuan Pavilion Master Mu Qing even has the effect of stopping children from crying.And this killing god, sitting opposite to him now, kindly asked him to call him Uncle Mu, Chang Yun couldn't help shivering.

Mu Qing seemed to see through Chang Yun's mind, and said with a smile: "When I met your father, he was still an ordinary general, and I was just an ordinary chief of Yuan Pavilion."

Chang Yun became interested when he heard it: "Oh? Namu Pavilion, how did Uncle Mu and my father know each other?"

Mu Qing: "We had a fight."

Chang Yun's eyeballs almost popped out, did the Pavilion Master of Yuan Pavilion fight with the Governor of Xiji State?
Mu Qing laughed and said, "That's because we were still young, acting like Meng Lang, and we were both drunk, so we fought at Mrs. Tang's banquet."

Chang Yun felt that his brain was not enough, so he asked in a strange way: "Then who won?"

Mu Qing replied: "Is your father missing a back molar?"

"My father's tooth was Uncle Mu, and you knocked it out, Uncle Mu. You beat my father?" Chang Yun's face was full of admiration, an idol, and he actually beat his father.

Even though Mu Qing was already out of expression, she couldn't help blushing, touched her chin and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Chang Yun was speechless.

The old city is not very far from the capital, and in just half a day, Chang Yun saw the majestic outline of the city wall of the capital from afar.

Someone came on horseback outside the window: "Pavilion Master, news from Tu Lang, Chang Du has left Xixia Pass."

It was news from his father, Chang Yun couldn't help cheering up a bit.

Mu Qing ordered: "Send Tu Wei to go to Hongshi City, and someone will meet him."

The subordinate led the order to leave.

Mu Qing looked at Chang Yun who was staring at him, and said softly: "Don't worry too much, your father has led the army to guard the border for many years, and there is a desert two hundred miles away from Xixia Pass, as long as he enters the desert, he will be the absolute king."

Chang Yun suppressed the worries in his heart and asked, "Uncle Mu sent someone to Hongshi City just now?"

Mu Qing was amazed at this young man's keen sense: "Tu Wei is my Yuange Qingying Division doctor, who is best at tracking whereabouts and delivering news. Xijizhou's military equipment is missing, as long as it is not for the purpose of occupying the city and becoming king, the thief will eventually have to transport it abroad, and Whether it is going to other counties in Daxia or Tianxiong Kingdom, Hongshi City is a must pass, and Tu Wei will be able to find out some clues if he goes here."

Chang Yun said worriedly: "But my father said that all the subordinates he sent out to investigate this matter were arrested?"

Mu Qing said clearly: "I know, but Yuan Pavilion is different. The people in Yuan Pavilion are familiar with all kinds of assassinations, and it is very difficult to kill them. Moreover," Mu Qing showed a confident and proud expression on his face when he said this , "No matter who kills Yuan Pavilion's subordinates in the territory of Daxia, they must weigh the consequences of this matter."

It does take a certain amount of courage to become the enemy of Yuan Pavilion.

Chang Yun was shocked by Mu Qing's sudden arrogance.

Fortunately, the guard said at this time: "Master, the capital is here."

Hearing this, Chang Yun immediately leaned against the window and looked outside.

Kyoto, the largest city in the world.

It covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles and has millions of people.

Since Emperor Gaozu of the Xia Kingdom established his capital here, it has been continuously built by five generations of emperors for more than a hundred years, and it has become the largest city in the world.

Here, the most glorious victory of the Xia Kingdom was witnessed, the tribute of hundreds of Fan Kingdoms was witnessed, and the expedition and triumphant return of millions of troops before and after.At the same time, it has also witnessed Xia Guo's most vicious tricks and the most vicious party struggles.Of course, it also witnesses the most prosperous market and the most poignant love in the world.

Chang Yun looked up and saw that the city wall of Kyoto was about 20 feet high, and the city wall was covered with banners.Presumably behind the battlements are soldiers guarding the city.

Mu Qing ordered: "Go to Cheng'an Gate to enter the capital, and go back to the residence first."

"promise."

The convoy changed direction and drove in the other direction of the city wall.

Mu Qing said to Chang Yun: "Go to my house first, my son is about the same age as you, you should get to know him first."

Chang Yun respectfully said: "Let Uncle Mu make arrangements."

Mu Qing asked again: "Although your father entrusted you to me, what ambition do you have? Join the army? Become an official?"

Chang Yun scratched his head: "I never thought about it. Although I also fought with my father in Xiji State, my father never said that I can't be the commander of a party, but at most I can be a general."

Mu Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, think about it slowly, and tell me if you think of something to do."

Chang Yun boldly asked: "What if I want to join Yuan Pavilion?"

Mu Qing smiled and didn't answer Chang Yun, but Chang Yun clearly saw a trace of sadness in Mu Qing's eyes.

What are you mourning?

Chang Yun didn't dare to ask again.

The carriage entered Cheng'an Gate, and the wheels were crushed on the streets of Kyoto.

The guards just waved their badges at the gate of the city. The gate guards didn't dare to ask any more questions, and watched the convoy pass through the gate in fear.

One of the new recruits went in without knowing it, and asked the veteran, "Captain, why didn't this team of horses and horses get out of the car and check carefully?"

The veteran slapped the recruit on the head: "Shut up."

Looking at the recruits who didn't know why, the veteran felt that he was a bit heavy-handed, so he had to explain patiently: "You didn't see the waist card that the cavalry showed just now, it is the Yuan Pavilion Jinlong Token, which can only be used by the owner of the Yuan Pavilion and the old man. , and those cavalrymen are extraordinary at first glance, if I guess right, the carriage must be the Pavilion Master Yuan Pavilion."

The recruits repeatedly said yes, and the veterans were still immersed in the majesty of the Yuan Pavilion Lord, but they didn't notice that the recruits just now had quietly chased along the city gate.

The number of people inside the city gate suddenly increased.
