Mou Xunjian smiled instead of anger, clapped his hands and said, "It still has some taste."

The young and talented scholars around all admired Xue Poye for being so arrogant.

Lao Song hid behind the door and watched the scene outside. Seeing that Xue Poye did not back down, he was a little worried. He was already in a cold sweat. When he returned to the backyard, he was extremely anxious to see Yue Zhu and others.

Yue Zhu patted his chest lightly, and asked urgently: "Second shopkeeper, broken...how is the shopkeeper?"

Xue Poye made Song Qian the second shopkeeper, and everyone usually called him that.

Lao Song wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said in a low voice, "A large group of officers and soldiers, and I don't know what trouble the shopkeeper has gotten into!" Seeing more than a dozen pairs of eyes looking at him, he obviously expected to get some more information, He said again: "The inspector seems to say that our restaurant has harbored Qing Lianzhao's rebels, so we need to search!"

As soon as the words came out, Yue Zhu and Hu San immediately changed their colors, Xiao Lingxian yelled "Oops", but immediately covered her mouth.

Lao Song frowned, and Yue Zhu calmed down and said, "It's nonsense, everyone in our restaurant is innocent, why do you say we harbor rebels?"

Xiao Pinshi also had a livid face, and was about to rush out: "The government is really unreasonable, let's do business well, and we have not recruited or offended anyone, so why pour dirty water on us." Fortunately, Yuezhu stopped him, otherwise he really had to rush out.

"Listen!" Old Song stretched his ears: "What sound?...It seems to be the sound of horseshoes. Where did the sound of horseshoes come from?"

……

……

Xue Poye also heard the sound of horseshoes, and Mou Xunjian was no exception. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Xue Poye was puzzled, and Mou Xunjian's already gloomy face became livid.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and someone reported: "My lord, someone is coming!"

"who?"

"My subordinates don't know, it's... cavalry!"

Mu Xunjian was startled.

The Great Chu State attaches great importance to the rule of culture. Although the rule of culture makes the atmosphere of the Great Chu State very good, but because the style of writing is too underestimated, the warriors are one level lower than the literati.

Although Wuhou, the founder of the Great Chu State, took the world by force, he attached great importance to the rule of culture. Mo Zifeng, the prominent prime minister at that time, once wrote a short essay, the center of which was to use literature in prosperous times and use martial arts in troubled times. , there is no guarantee that there will be trouble.There is a famous saying that deeply reflects the root cause of the emperor's emphasis on literature, "It is not as good as a general to rebel than a hundred civil officials to rebel!"

In the eyes of some people, literati are gentle, elegant, intelligent and resourceful, and they are more suitable for governing the country than rough and brutal warriors covered in scars.

It is precisely because of this extreme thinking that although the national power of the Great Chu is strong and the four kingdoms congratulate it, its military style is weak.

Although the Great Chu rejuvenated the army against the brutality of the Northern Hu, it still only trained the infantry. As for the cavalry, according to the sad words of the general: "Ten soldiers from the Northern Hu have twenty cavalry, and the Chu army has one cavalry for a thousand soldiers!" One can imagine.

Although it is said that it is necessary to expand the cavalry, it is just that the source of horses in Dachu is scarce, and although it has the intention, it has no power.

The Hangzhou camp is one of the 36 camps of the Great Chu State. There are [-] standing troops, but less than [-] cavalry.

Inspector Mou gritted his teeth and said, "How many people?"

"There are... fifty or sixty riders!" The visitor reported.

Inspector Mou was a little surprised. The cavalry is precious, but it doesn’t mean that they can be transferred at any time. For less than a hundred cavalry, in addition to the warrants issued by the inspectors of various prefectures, the local governor also needs to issue orders, both of which are indispensable.The transfer of more than a hundred cavalry was ordered by the imperial court. In addition to the official letter from the Privy Council, it was necessary to see the general's tiger talisman, otherwise no one would be able to transfer the elite soldiers of a hundred cavalry.

Hearing that there were cavalry coming, Mou Xunjian was surprised and surprised. The five hundred cavalry in the Hangzhou camp were under his control, and he had not signed a warrant. Even if Wang Shizhen wanted to transfer them, he was surprised. Come.

My heart suddenly brightened, could it be...!

If that's the case, it means that the other party has already made preparations and expected such an attack.

Xue Poye was also a little baffled, today is the evil gate, first a large group of infantry came, and now dozens of cavalry came, could it be that they all came to Lanyuexuan to train the army?

Those gifted scholars, young and old, were all trembling with fright, my son, I would have known that such an insulting thing happened here, even if there were ten Xiao talented women to invite a banquet, I would not come here to soak in this muddy water.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, approaching and getting louder, and the sound of dozens of horseshoes was already thundering. Xue Poye was shocked. If thousands of horses and horses charged, the earth would shake and the mountains would shake. , I'm afraid it can scare people with bad hearts to death.

At the gap in the sail, a white horse reined in, and a young general in white robe appeared with a gun, majestic and imposing.

Among the white armor and white helmet, Xue Poye also said that he saw Zhao Zilong, but this young general was very young, only about ten years old, he was full of vigor and air.

The sound of horseshoes lowered the interest rate, Xue Poye looked through the windshield sail, and faintly saw that the outside was full of cavalry, and the horses sneezed, making the sound quite noisy.

"Following the order of the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ye Tianxiang led the troops in the Suzhou camp to maintain the order of the Lanyuexuan banquet. Anyone who has nothing to do with them will be expelled!" The young white-robed general said loudly.

Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief, since this person was sent by Lao Tan, he was naturally helping him.

Suddenly I felt strange, Lao Tan left the sergeants in the Hangzhou camp without using them, but went to the Suzhou camp to transfer troops, why?Seeing inspector Mou, I immediately understood that although Lao Tan had a high official rank, the Hangzhou camp was under the jurisdiction of inspector Mou after all, and he didn't seem to dare to do anything to inspector Mou when he was transferred. It would be better to transfer someone from Suzhou. You don't have to worry about the sergeant not following orders.

These Suzhou cavalrymen had obviously rushed over quickly. Although the white-robed young general Ye Tianxiang was majestic, he couldn't hide his savage attitude.

"Using Suzhou's soldiers to go to Hangzhou to suppress Hangzhou's soldiers, this old guy really knows how to think!" Xue Poye secretly laughed.

He naturally didn't know that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is an important institution of the imperial court and a trusted institution of the emperor. Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not have the power to mobilize large-scale troops without authorization, it can mobilize a small number of troops if the situation requires it. You can borrow troops from neighboring camps.

Mr. Tan, as the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, transferred troops from Suzhou to Hangzhou, which was also within the scope of his power.

After all, Lao Tan is an important official in the capital, and the young general in white robes conveyed the order, and Mou inspector couldn't directly contradict him, so he clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to inspect Mou Zhizhan in Hangzhou, how dare I ask the young general what his job is?"

The young general held a spear and said arrogantly, "I am Ye Tianxiang, deputy inspector of Suzhou!"

Each provincial battalion has a patrol inspector under its jurisdiction, and two deputies under it to assist in the management and training of the army.

Mou Zhizhan saw that this young general's official position was lower than his own, so his temper rose, and he said angrily: "You are a mere deputy inspector, and you still don't get off your horse when you see this official!"

The young general was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled: "Get off the horse?"

A person behind Mou Zhizhan immediately shouted: "This is Mr. Mou, who is inspecting the camp in Hangzhou, and he is still on his horse!"

Immediately there was a cavalryman urging his horse to approach Ye Tianxiang, and whispered something in his ear. Ye Tianxiang showed surprise, and then he was full of anger. He looked at Mou Zhizhan, and after a while, he lazily dismounted from his horse, and bowed casually as a salute. .

In the Great Chu system, those with low official positions and those with high official positions, regardless of region, are required to pay respects.

Seeing it, Xue Poye immediately knew that Ye Tianxiang didn't seem to be very clear about these details, and needed to be reminded by his subordinates. He thought to himself: "Why did Lao Tan send a child over here? Playing house?"

Mou Zhizhan snorted coldly, and said: "I am carrying out official duties. After investigation, I found that Lanyuexuan was hiding thieves with bad intentions. For the sake of the people's livelihood and the community, I have to investigate and deal with it. I won't be able to leave for a while!"

Xue Poye heard that he was slandering Lanyuexuan again, although he inadvertently said that Lanyuexuan was indeed harboring Little Fairy, but hearing it, he still felt very uncomfortable, and said coldly: "Master Mou, I didn't find out clearly Before, don’t slander good people. You have repeatedly said that Lanyuexuan is harboring rebels, and you always have to produce evidence? You are so unfounded and blind to judge and affect my business in Lanyuexuan. Xiaomin is really dissatisfied !"

Ye Tianxiang stared at Mou Zhizhan, and said with a sneer, "Lord Mou, this is the order of Lord Yushi, you wait to evacuate. I don't care about rebels or not, I just follow orders!"

Mou Zhizhan actually closed his eyes and ignored——
