The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 518 Han Shizhong

Getting the Zhejia settled means that Mu Xu has no more holes in the southern territory, and then he can deal with the Jin people in the north with peace of mind, and look for opportunities to seize Yandi.

Just when Mu Xu was thinking about his thoughts, a group of people passed by a military camp in the pass, and Zhe Yanwen pointed to it and said, "Master, the escaped Song army is placed inside, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Mu Xu thought for a while and replied, "It's not too late to see them later, first go see my cheap father-in-law, where is he now?"

After finishing speaking, he saw the strange expression on Zhe Yanwen's face, and couldn't help but wonder, "But is there anything I don't know?"

"Your Majesty does not know that since entering the customs, the emperor of the Daliao Dynasty disliked the residence arranged by the humble official, and insisted on living in his own tent. The humble official has no choice. It is best to find an open space next to the Guanyin yamen. He went to toss."

Hearing Zhe Yanwen's explanation, Mu Xu couldn't help shaking his head, he really wanted to write a big word of congratulations to Yelu Yanxi, this guy has lost such a huge world, and he still doesn't know how to repent.

I don't know how he and Zhao Ji and his son spent those ten years of imprisonment in Wuguo City in the original history.

There are rumors in the wild history that at that time the Jinren deliberately forced the three of them to play polo. Zhao Ji and his son were trampled to death by the horses without much effort, but Yelu Yanxi persisted for a long time. If the Jinren insisted on killing him, it would be impossible Can really dodge a disaster.

While talking, Mu Xu, led by Zheyan Wende, came to the residence of Yelu Yanxi. As soon as Fang entered the courtyard, he saw this guy squatting in the open space, feeding two hounds with fresh meat, waiting for Mu Xu Looking closely, he found that the hound was given by himself.

The two hounds were the first to notice the arrival of a stranger, and immediately barked towards the gate.

Seeing this, Yelu Yanxi also saw Mu Xu's arrival. He first ordered someone to take the dog away, and then complained to Mu Xu,

"My son-in-law, you are here. Tell your subordinates quickly and ask them to change my residence. It's cramped here and you can't hunt. It's really worrying."

Seeing his heartlessness, Mu Xu couldn't help being surprised and said, "Does my father-in-law know about Yelu Dashi?"

Yelu Yanxi cursed loudly, "Stop mentioning that rebellious minister and traitor, thanks to the fact that I trust him so much, it's really a wolf-hearted thing to live up to the grace of God."

"Then I don't know what the father-in-law's plan is in the future?"

Yelu Yanxi's complexion changed suddenly, and he said in a flattering tone, "Oh, now that things have come to an end, I... I don't want to return to the country anymore, I just hope that my son-in-law can find me a man for Yu Liyan's sake. A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, just let me spend the rest of my life."

Mu Xu paid close attention to Yelu Yanxi's expression, and found that he really didn't seem to be telling a lie, so he smiled lightly and said, "It's easy to say, this is what a son-in-law should do, and he must not disappoint his father-in-law."

Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed, and Fang wanted to say something thankful, but Mu Xu raised his head and pointed his chin behind him, saying, "Since father-in-law intends to live in peace in the future, how should the accompanying officials be arranged?"

"This..." Yelu Yanxi glanced hesitantly at the ministers who had heard the news, and said expectantly, "Why don't we let them work under the account of the virtuous son-in-law, how about it?"

Mu Xu smiled but said nothing, he was not willing to accept these people.Nowadays, the capable ministers of the Liao State either died in battle, or found other jobs, and the rest are nothing but crooked melons and cracked dates.

Just when he was about to find an excuse to reject the matter, he saw Xiao Fengxian suddenly approached in three or two steps, kneeling in front of Yelu Yanxi.

"Your Majesty, I have served you for many years, how can I be willing to leave? I hope that I will be with Your Majesty for the rest of my life, and please allow me."

Under the leadership of Xiao Fengxian, a group of Yelu Yanxi's close officials all knelt down and begged, expressing their reluctance and loyalty from time to time.

Mu Xu watched the scene in front of him with cold eyes, not moved in the slightest, he just found it extremely funny, these people had obviously discussed it long ago, and deliberately acted for him.

But that's okay, they're interesting.Anyway, Yelu Yanxi brought countless treasures, enough to feed them, and it saved him trouble.

After trying to understand this, Mu Xu immediately persuaded, "Father-in-law, the adults are so loyal, so don't take away their kindness. Besides, with your beloved ministers by your side, you You can also take care of your life better, can't you?"

From the point of view of his heart, Yelu Yanxi only wanted to keep a few confidantes like Xiao Fengxian, and he didn't want to care about the lives of others.But he is not a fool either, he could hear Mu Xu's dislike for these people, and felt very uncomfortable, so he had to say against his will,
"Then let them follow, and it will be a good story."

After finishing speaking, he quickly asked Mu Xu again, "Son-in-law, I wonder where you will arrange us to live?"

This question is just a superfluous question. If you think about it with your heels, Mu Xu must put Yelu Yanxi under his nose, so he just listened to him.

"Of course it is Yunzhou. After all, it is more prosperous there, and my father-in-law can live more comfortably."

"Okay, then I don't know when I will leave?"

"How about tomorrow?"

"Would my son-in-law want to go with me?"

Mu Xu shook his head and said, "Right now the Jinren are still lingering outside the pass, how can I leave easily. Father-in-law can go ahead first, and I will send a letter to Yu Liyan, asking her to be responsible for welcoming Yu You."

When Yelu Yanxi heard the news of the Jin man, he immediately said, "Okay, then I have a worthy son-in-law."

After bidding farewell to Mu Xu, Zhe Yanwen followed Mu Xu and asked in a low voice, "Master, why didn't the Lord of Liao mention the two thousand cavalry?"

Mu Xu smiled and asked back, "Do you think my emperor's father-in-law is a fool?"

"Who doesn't know that he is a famous stupid king, so he is naturally stupid...not a smart person."

Zhe Yanwen almost blurted out the word idiot, until he thought that Yelu Yanxi was in a bad situation, and that was also Mu Xu's father-in-law, so he quickly changed his words.

Who knows that Mu Xu didn't take it to heart at all, and said, "You want to call him an idiot, don't you?"

Zhe Yanwen hurriedly pleaded guilty, "This subordinate slipped a word, please punish me."

Mu Xu shook his head, "You just expressed the opinions of the people nowadays, so what's your crime?"

Then, he continued, "Everyone knows that Yelu Yanxi is a fool, but that doesn't mean he is a fool. If he is really stupid, how can he be the emperor for twenty years?"

Zhe Yanwen was taken aback, and said involuntarily, "After the envoy said, it seems to be true."

"Now you understand, he knows that no matter whether he mentions it or not, those soldiers and horses will be annexed by me, so why bother me?" Speaking of this, Mu Xu said again,
"Actually, it's not just him. Let me ask you, is that official in our Tokyo city a smart person?"

This time, Zhe Yanwen said without any hesitation, "No, my father once said that Zhao Guan's family is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are the most intelligent people."

"Then you say he is a good emperor?"

Zhe Yanwen immediately understood what Mu Xu meant, but after all, he was an official of the Song Dynasty, so he couldn't speak out about Zhao Ji's fault, so he said, "I can't be regarded as a Ming emperor, but there is no major fault."

The corners of Mu Xu's mouth curled up slightly, showing a sneering expression, and he stopped embarrassing Zhe Yanwen, and sighed, "Yeah, it's not bad at present, let's see the future."

Zhe Yanwen didn't understand the deep meaning of these words, so he didn't think too much about it, and simply changed the subject and said, "Master, do you want to let the Song army in the pass go?"

"Most of these people's family members are in the Song Dynasty. If they stay, they may not really work for me. They will waste our food and grass. Let them go. But before that, I need to meet a few people."

"Please also ask your envoy to show your subordinates, and your subordinates will pass on to them to come and see you."

"Well, just Song Jiang and Han Shizhong. By the way, let Wu Yong come with you."

"Yes, I will come back after I go down, so you can go and rest for a while."

About half an hour later, outside the main hall of Guanyin Yamen in Dushikou, the three of Song Jiang came in a hurry under the leadership of Zhe Yanwen.

Unlike Song Jiang and the two who were nervous, Han Shizhong was much more at ease. He even had the leisure to watch Mu Xu's military appearance along the way. He didn't look away until he heard Zhe Yanwen's voice to inform him, and followed him honestly. Enter the lobby after the two of Song Jiang.

As soon as Fang entered, he saw a young man with a golden crown on his head and a jade-like face sitting on top of his head. Han Shizhong secretly wondered, "I heard that Mu Xu is young and handsome, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation!"

Just at this moment, Mu Xu's gaze came over, and Han Shizhong was startled, and hurriedly bowed after Song Jiang and Wu Yong, "The villain has seen the adults!"

"Free gift!"

Looking at Song Jiang in the hall, Mu Xu was filled with emotions. He thought that this person would be his biggest opponent, but now that he met him again, he felt a world away, and there was no disturbance in his heart.

"Master Song, are you all right?"

Song Jiang endured the soreness in his chest, and said with a smile, "My lord, I'm worried about it. Everything is fine when I'm an official, but my lord has already become an extremely human minister today, which is really admirable."

"Really? But how did I hear that Mr. Song has suggested to the superior several times that Mr. Mu will rebel against him in the future? I don't know if this is true?"

When Song Jiang first heard this, his first reaction was to think that Mu Xu was going to attack him, and when he was at a loss, Wu Yong replied,
"Your Excellency must have been deceived. Thinking that my brothers and your lord are all from Shandong, we can be regarded as having friendship from the same hometown. How could we do such a foolish thing?"

Interrupted by Wu Yong, Song Jiang immediately came to his senses and realized that Mu Xu might be intimidating, so he immediately echoed,
"That's right. Someone must be sowing discord. I don't know how much I respect my lord in my heart. I would never do such a sneaky thing."

Mu Xu stared at the two of them until his back was soaked in cold sweat, before he said flatly, "So, I misunderstood, please forgive me, Mr. Song!"

Song Jiang hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Don't dare, dare not!"

Seeing Song Jiang like this, Mu Xu felt dull for a while, and lost the intention to talk to him, waved his hand at Zhe Yanwen casually and said, "Give Master Song a customs clearance document, let them go!"

These words were no less than Tian Lai to Song Jiang, he couldn't care less about why Mu Xu handled him so lightly, and hastily bowed three times, "My lord's kindness today, I will never forget it."

After speaking, seeing that Mu Xu didn't even reply, Song Jiang was afraid of another accident, so he hurriedly dragged Wu Yong to Sui Yanwen.

Seeing that he was left alone, Han Shizhong said anxiously, "My lord, there are villains!"

But Mu Xu said, "Pu Han Wu, don't be impatient, I have something to say to you."

"Hey, how does your lord know the villain's nickname?"

Mu Xu didn't explain, just said, "You can sit down and talk."

Han Shizhong was very courageous, and he was not hypocritical when he heard this. He actually sat down on his buttocks, facing Mu Xu sideways, as if he was listening attentively.

Only then did Mu Xu see his appearance clearly, but he saw that he was around thirty, with a burly body, bright eyes, and a chic demeanor. The most surprising thing was that his skin was as white as snow, not at all pale. It doesn't look like a military brat.

When it comes to Han Shizhong's skin, there is another allusion.

Han Shizhong was born in poverty, and he didn't like reading. He would drink and go crazy on the street all day long. He also liked to dance with knives and guns. .

If he was born in a prosperous age, Han Shizhong would have absolutely no chance of becoming famous.

However, Han Shizhong was born in a turbulent and chaotic world, and his hometown was in Suide, the border of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Xixia people often violated borders, which gave him a chance to stand out and rely on his own force to join the army, so as to win in the society. a seat.

Of course, this is something that is well known to future generations, and let’s not express it here, only the origin of his skin is mentioned here.

It is said that due to Han Shizhong's disorderly life when he was young, he developed sores all over his body. The skin in many places was festered, and there were waves of stench, which even the family could not bear.

In order not to affect his family's life, Han Shizhong often went to the wild pool to wash up.

But once, he was taking a bath in the water, when suddenly a big boa constrictor sprang out from nowhere and entangled him tightly.

Fortunately, it was not far from the shore at that time, so Han Shizhong dragged the python to the shore, fought all the way back home, and called his family to come to help.

But the Han family had never seen such a battle before, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to approach it. Han Shizhong simply didn't do anything, rushed into the kitchen to find a kitchen knife, and chopped off the python's head with one knife.

Later, thinking that he almost lost his life in Shekou, this guy ignored the family's obstruction, cooked the snake, and ate the whole thing in his stomach.

Who would have thought that in the days to come, the sores on Han Shizhong's body would heal, and he would have a good skin that even women would envy.

From then on, everyone said that if he survived a catastrophe, he would have future blessings, and he would definitely be among the three princes in the future, and it was true after many years.

When Mu Xu was reading history books in his previous life, he had seen this passage. Today, when he saw Han Shizhong himself, he couldn't help being interested, so he asked whether it was true or not.

At the beginning, Han Shizhong thought that Mu Xu was going to talk about military affairs as soon as he opened his mouth, but he didn't want to ask him such rural rumors. He was amused for a while, but he still replied,
"It is true, but the boa constrictor is only as thick as the mouth of a bowl, not as huge as the folk legends say, let alone the talk of a dragon entering the world."

When Mu Xu heard that this really happened, he couldn't help but be amazed. People with extraordinary connections must have extraordinary fortunes.

Han Shizhong quickly humbled himself a few words, and finally couldn't help asking, "What advice can I give you for leaving the villain behind?"

Mu Xu was straightforward, "I heard about your name, Han Powu, and I wanted to keep you working under the account. I don't know what to do?"
