Yu Jun

On the seventh day of April, everyone in Kuanzhou City quietly dispersed and returned to the positions set by Wu Jin.

On April 16, Chang Long in Wangzhou City quietly led a team out of the city to Fufeng Mountain. They repaired the road up the mountain, cut stones on the spot, built stone steps, and rested one step at a time to reach the cliff halfway up the mountain, and built an open-air altar in the open space. .

After the construction was completed, the soldiers camped on the spot and guarded Fufeng Mountain.

On April 23, Cheng Taishan went to Wangzhou to inspect cattle, sheep, and hogs. He saw a tuft of black hair on the sheep's forehead and felt it was not beautiful. He wrote to Huang Yun who came with him: "This sheep is not very good-looking."

Huang Yunshu looked the sheep up and down: "It has a nose and eyes. What's not good about it?"

"It's not good to have dark forehead." Cheng Taishan pointed out to him.

"That's it?" Huang Yunshu rolled his eyes, "You're being picky."

He was completely stunned when he saw Cheng Taishan.

Cheng Taishan also felt that he was too meticulous, so he stopped talking and went to check out the jade, silk, fruits, wine and food, etc., and did not return to the hotel until dark.

However, after thinking about it, he always felt that this tuft of hair was an eyesore - since it was the founding ceremony of the country, it was natural that everything should be perfect.

There are good yellow sheep in Kuanzhou, but we just can’t get there in time. This sheep should be the best in the sheep row, and it’s useless to go to the sheep row to look for it.

After thinking for a long time, he called the Nomad Qing, took the money and went to Heshan County, Wangzhou Prefecture overnight, picked out a good sheep from the village sheepfold that was pleasing to the eye, bought it back to the city, and handed it over to the magic chef.

On April 24, the news that Mo Lingfeng was going to worship heaven and proclaim himself emperor had spread throughout Wangzhou, Ji, and Kuanzhou. Some people poured into Wangzhou to look for opportunities, while others left Wangzhou to avoid the battlefield. For a time, officials It was a busy scene with pedestrians coming and going.

The Cheng family arrived at the hotel at midnight. The eldest sister of the Cheng family had a pale face because of vomiting, but her momentum did not diminish. She started to discipline her husband as soon as she got off the carriage, thinking that her eldest brother-in-law had a smell that made her want to vomit.

The entrance to the posthouse was in a mess, and the carriages were blocked in a long queue. A large group of civil servants stood at the entrance, bowing their hands in greetings, greeting each other, and secretly inquiring about the outside world - they were high-ranking officials, but they were as helpless as duckweeds, especially in Fufeng Mountain. The group was also in such great danger that they couldn't laugh.

Some people complimented Hou Fuzhong as a good bird choosing a tree to roost in. Hou Fuzhong made a miserable look like a mute eating Coptis chinensis, his face was so wrinkled that he couldn't stretch it. Every time someone asked him a question, he sighed deeply in his heart - he is Da Zhao. The loyal minister is now serving the rebels in Kuanzhou Mansion. The situation is really compelling.

Only Qi Wenbing smiled - he was a real person and had the confidence to be Huang Yunshu's deputy. At the same time, it seemed that Mo Lingfeng was also a real person, enough to get a foothold in the cracks.

Qi Wenbing stood at the gate, looked around, and saw the eldest sister of the Cheng family who was blocking the outside with an evil look on her face. Without hesitation, she rubbed oil on her soles and ran away first.

A colleague on the side grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going, Brother Qi?"

Qi Wenbing said anxiously: "The tigress is here, hurry up!"

"What tigress? Why didn't I see it?"

"It will be too late by the time you see it!"

The eldest sister of the Cheng family was already angry. Seeing these people gathering in a mess and refusing to come in, she impatiently shouted: "Are you stuck here waiting to be reincarnated?"

When everyone followed the sound, they saw a hero among women. She put her hand on the arm of the man beside her like a Queen Mother, and pushed forward menacingly.

Thanks to Tuomo Lingfeng, these men who usually treat women as superiors did not dare to act rashly, and watched helplessly as the eldest sister of the Cheng family came forward, spitting sweet fragrance, and tortured them.

Cheng Taishan, who had just delivered more than a hundred ritual vessels to the divine treasury, heard his beloved daughter's roar from a distance, and quickly stepped forward to save everyone from the fire and water.

The eldest sister of the Cheng family followed her father in with a pale face. At the same time, she ordered her husband to keep an eye on the servants, escorted Mo Lingfeng's clothes box to the middle tent, and said harshly, "I'll scrape a piece of wire and peel off your skin."

The servants left in fear.

The rest of the Cheng family tucked their tails between their legs and followed behind. Cheng Ting pursed her lips and whispered: "If mother comes, how dare she do this?" The eldest brother of the Cheng family sneered: "Mother doesn't even give father's face, let alone accept it. field."

When the others saw that they were members of Cheng Taishan's family, they had to swallow their anger and thought in unison: "The way of heaven has really changed. Women are so fierce."

A group of people waited and entered quietly. At noon, except for the officials on duty, all the other officials arrived at the post. At the end of the day, they began to meet Cheng Taishan and Huang Yunshu to familiarize themselves with the regulations of offering sacrifices to heaven and arrange their positions.

At midnight on April 25th, the officials were going to the divine treasury to sort out the sacrificial vessels with their own hands. They walked out of the temple gate chatting and laughing. They saw thick shadows hitting the ground, the sound of cicadas in the early days, copper bells in the wind, the chirping of insects and birds, one after another, and the mountains in the distance. , the mist is like mist, extremely clear.

Today and tomorrow will be great weather.

Huang Yunshu praised: "Good day."

While they were talking, the sound of horse hooves on the official road could not be stopped, so everyone swallowed their words and looked towards where they came from.

Soon, a white horse, with its hooves turned and its palms turned, broke through the green barrier and galloped over. The general on the horse was wearing a silver-gray cloak and a moon-white narrow-sleeved gown underneath. A short sword hung around his waist, and a gold collar was pressed on his chest. Behind him, Followed closely by dozens of mounted guards.

"General Mo!"

"Quick, quick..."

They didn't know what they wanted to do, so they just hurriedly moved to both sides of the road, straightened their clothes, and then took Cheng Taishan out from behind to welcome him.

Mo Lingfeng reined in his horse in front of the door. The white horse raised its head in the wind, neighed, blew out a stream of hot air, and landed firmly on the ground with its front hooves.

She held the bridle, looked around, and memorized these faces. Then she dismounted, folded the whip, and handed it to Yin Bei behind her.

Cheng Taishan stepped forward to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "General."

After offering sacrifices to heaven, they were called "Your Majesty", but at this time they were still called "General".

"Where are you guys going?"

"I'm going to organize the sacrifices in the gods' treasury. Can the general go with us to inspect the animals?"

Mo Lingfeng waved his hand, looked at Hou Fuzhong, and said coldly: "Hou Fuzhong, why do you have such a face?"

Hou Fuzhong shivered with fright. When he saw Yin Bei pressing his hand on the scabbard, he couldn't help but smile. He said with a bitter face: "I, your official... your minister..."

He was speechless and sweating profusely. When the others saw this, they quickly forced a smile and left a few teeth in their mouths to dry in the morning breeze.

Just as Cheng Taishan was about to step forward to smooth things over, the sound of horse hooves was heard again on the official road. Within a moment, Wu Jin was seen galloping over on a yellow horse with four guards.

Wu Jin had a jade-like face, was handsome and elegantly dressed, turned over and dismounted, handed the whip to the guard behind him, with a smile on his face and a calm demeanor. At first glance, he looked like a gentle and courteous person. He walked a step behind Mo Lingfeng, He bowed his hands to Cheng Taishan.

As soon as he arrived, Mo Yefeng turned around and said, "You lose."

Wu Jin smiled and said, "Yes, my riding skills are not as good as those of the general."

While talking and laughing, the tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Jin talked for a few more words and then walked back without leaving a trace: "General, the army is busy with affairs, so why not go ahead and make deployments."

Mo Lingfeng nodded and turned back to mount his horse. Wu Jin also took hold of the bridle and left with Mo Lingfeng. Under the morning light, the two of them had bright faces, and they looked like a pair. (End of chapter)
