The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 423

Hearing Qiongying's words, Mu Xu immediately got off his mind, and immediately said happily, "Thank you lady for clarifying my doubts, if that's the case, then I will have a lot of time, and I can calmly arrange the following matters. "

Being praised by Mu Xu, Qiongying was extremely happy, and couldn't help showing a smile on her face. She hurriedly brought the chicken soup to Mu Xu, and urged, "Use it while it's hot, the kitchen has been simmering all morning."

Mu Xu picked up the bowl and finished the chicken soup in two or three gulps. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a report from the soldiers outside the door, "Master Lin, please see me!"

Hearing this, Mu Xu ordered someone to invite Lin Chong to come in, while shaking his head and laughing, "I'm afraid that Coach Lin has heard the news from Liang Shan, so he came here specially to inquire about Gao Qiu's situation."

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Chongfang came in, he greeted Mu Xu and Qiongying, and immediately asked whether Gao Qi had been captured.

Mu Xu already knew from the letter that Xu Guanzhong had intentionally let Gao Qiu go, and understood his actions.So at this moment when Lin Chong asked, he pretended to be regretful and said,
"I disappointed the coach. That fellow was extremely greedy for life and fear of death. Seeing the defeat, he ran away."

Seeing Lin Chong's disappointment, Mu Xu had no choice but to comfort him, "Don't be depressed, the coach. That guy lost such a big battle. After returning to Beijing, where will he have good fruit to eat?"

Lin Chong is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, but today he suddenly learned from Hua Rong that Gao Qi was defeated by Xu Guanzhong and his party when he conquered Liang Shanbo, so he couldn't hold back for a while, so he came to ask Mu Xu.

Hearing Mu Xu's comforting words at this time, and seeing that Qiongying was still in the room, he immediately realized that this move was a bit menglang, so he hurriedly apologized to the two of them, and was about to leave.

He didn't want to go to the door, so he was stopped by Mu Xu, who only heard him say, "After the head coach goes down, tell all the brothers to come see me tomorrow, I have something to say."

Qiongying thought that Mu Xu would continue to send troops, so when Lin Chong retreated, she hurriedly persuaded her, "Officials, the army has been exhausted for more than a month, and it is not appropriate to fight now. It is better to rest for a while. How's the day?"

Mu Xu was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Qiongying must have misunderstood, so she said with a smile,

"Don't worry, lady, how could I not know this truth? They are called to arrange garrisons in various places, and discuss the recruitment of troops by the way."

Qiongying stuck out her tongue and said embarrassingly, "Forgive me, my concubine is talking too much."

Mu Xu waved his hand and said indifferently, "Where is this lady, you kindly reminded me, how can I blame you!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Qiongying's delicate and pretty face, and suddenly remembered something, and asked quickly, "Have you heard from your father recently?"

Qiongying shook her head and said, "No, the last letter from father was a month ago, did the official ask him for something?"

Mu Xu thought for a while, and replied, "I received a report from Tokyo that the imperial court is going to send the Western Army to Hedong to quell the chaos."

"The officials are worried that Tian Hu won't be able to resist?" Qiongying was very clever and guessed what Mu Xu was thinking.

"That's right. According to what you said before, Tian Hu only cares about expanding his strength, and his banner must be full of good and bad. In this way, how can he stop the Western Army from being sharp?"

"Then should we send someone to tell Tian Hu the news?"

Mu Xu hesitated for a while, and finally decided, "I still have to inform this guy, so that he won't catch Tong Guan by surprise. If he loses all at once, then it's up to me to bear the attack of the Western Army, which will affect my strength." Follow-up plan."

"That concubine should write a letter to my father and ask him to tell Tian Hu about this."

But Mu Xu stopped Qiongying and said, "No, this matter cannot be handled by your father, otherwise Tian Hu will be suspicious. Forget it, I will send an official envoy tomorrow, let's go through it in a fair manner."

After Qiongying thought about it, she stopped worrying about this matter and asked Mu Xu, "According to the covenant between our two families, once Tian Hu is attacked by the imperial court, we should also send troops to help. I wonder if there is a regulation for the officials? "

Mu Xu squeezed the center of his eyebrows and sighed, "I'm having a headache right now! Whether it's because of the covenant or practical considerations, Tian Hu can't collapse at the moment. Without him, the court will be free to take action." Come on, concentrate on dealing with me and wait. But..."

Although Mu Xu didn't continue, Qiongying already understood what he meant.

To put it bluntly, Mu Xu was willing to rescue Tian Hu, but he was unwilling to use too much force to waste his own troops for it.

Qiongying's next actions deeply reflected a common saying, "A married daughter is a splashed water."

After all, not long ago, she was still working for Tian Hu, and now after marrying Mu Xu, she immediately made an idea for her husband, just listen to her,
"Since the officials want to send someone to notify Tian Hu, it is considered as the utmost benevolence. As for the following matters, it is very easy to handle. You can station a troop near Jinzhou, and when Tian Hu can't support it, you can help him." Give him a hand, forgive him for having nothing to say then!"

"The lady and I want to go together, but the speed in the middle is really hard to grasp. It doesn't matter if you go early or late, and it's really embarrassing to be able to stop Tian Hu's mouth."

Qiongying suggested, "It's better for the officials to send one of Junshi Zhu and Mr. Le, and then dispatch a horse army for him. I think the result will not disappoint the officials."

Mu Xu smiled wryly and said, "I don't know. Sending them can be a peace of mind. But since I have occupied the land of the three states, I can't leave people everywhere. I can't handle everything by myself. It will definitely tire me out." You must die!"

After hearing this, Qiongying came behind Mu Xu, and while rubbing his temples, complained in a crisp voice,

"Speaking of it, the scribes among you Han people are too hypocritical. You have clearly surrendered, but you still want to play the trick of being in Cao Ying and thinking in Han.

From my concubine's point of view, officials might as well learn from the Song court, and also come to the imperial examinations, replace those people who have wrapped their corpses in plain clothes, and put them all in prison, to see if they dare to be arrogant! "

Mu Xu leaned into Qiongying's arms, closed his eyes and said, "Of course I want to be an imperial educator, but the time is not yet ripe. First, the territory we control is still too small. Second, if I really do this , it is bound to attract the attention of the world, and the Song Dynasty court will definitely try its best to destroy me, it is too much to be worth the candle!"

"Then why don't the officials change their names, so that they can deceive others?"

Qiongying's words could be described as deafening, a single word awakened the dreamer, Mu Xuteng stood up, hugged Qiongying, and turned around on the ground a few times.

After a long while, he put down the red-faced Qiongying, and said with a smile, "My dear lady reminds me, I got into a dead end unknowingly!"

As he said that, he walked back and forth excitedly in the study, and said to himself, "Why didn't I think of it, I can completely imitate the method of the civil servant examination in later generations and recruit some down-and-out students and professionals for my use."

Fortunately, Qiongying was so dizzy at this moment that she didn't hear all the words that Mu Xu said, only heard about civil servants and the like.So, she frowned and asked, "What do officials mean by civil servants?"

Mu Xu was startled for a moment, then rolled his eyes, and said perfunctorily, "Oh, this is the name for the yamen officials in the south, don't worry about it, lady!"
