Zhuo Mufeng has the tiger talisman in hand and can take office at any time. However, the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty also said in the imperial edict that he would be allowed three days of grace in view of his hard work.
This guy originally had a lazy personality, and he already had the power pillar, so he was eager to rest in the Wu Mansion. But when he thought of Su Zhilan, he felt guilty in his heart. There was still half of the three-year contract, and with his current strength, he could take
What goes into delivering on that promise?
The sense of urgency arose, and after washing up, he immediately left the Wu Mansion and headed all the way to the military camp outside the city.
The military camp was stationed ten miles outside the city, on a plain with a high center and low sides. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There were layers of antlers to resist horses and guards on the outside. The defense was tight. At the same time, once Gusu City
In the event of an emergency, we can rush to rescue as soon as possible.
Of course, ordinary people cannot set foot in such important military areas, and they will be expelled if they approach within three miles. But Zhuo Mufeng today is not an ordinary person.
He arrived at the City Lord's Mansion first. The City Lord of Gusu learned of his intention and took him there personally without saying a word. He took the initiative to strike up conversations along the way and found something to talk to.
Zhuo Mufeng had a humble smile on his face, and there was no condescension in his attitude. Firstly, he was not a person who flattered others and secondly, he didn't know how long he could sit in his position. Only a fool would do it to offend others at this time.
thing.
But this gentle and elegant look undoubtedly made the Lord of Gusu City feel relieved, and he developed a good impression. He said in his heart that Zhuo Lushi's martial arts skills were amazing. He heard that there were no more than a hundred people in the world who could defeat him. He didn't expect that he would be able to defeat him.
Being so polite, it seems that it won't be too difficult to cooperate in the future.
Thinking of this, the Gusu City Lord's attitude became even more eager, and he kept introducing Zhuo Mufeng.
The guards at the military camp naturally recognized the Lord of Gusu City. When they saw it was him, they saluted quickly, but refused to let them enter the military camp, claiming that it was an important military area and they did not dare to let them in without the command of the general.
The Lord of Gusu City felt that he had lost face in front of Zhuo Mufeng and shouted: "How dare you, do you know who this young master is? He is the new military recorder of our Gusu City. How dare your superior officer be so rude?"
The soldiers and guards were shocked. They had received the news beforehand, but they still did not expect that the new marching secretary was so young. While shocked, they saluted Zhuo Mufeng, but they still refused to let him go. The reason
There are regulations in the military camp. Even if the emperor comes in person, he must obtain an order from the commander-in-chief of the army before he can be allowed to leave.
This made the Lord of Gusu City very angry, and he roared that he would punish the other party and punish him for the crime of disrespect.
But Zhuo Mufeng on the side was thoughtful.
Wei Yudao's military strength has always been at the forefront of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it is said that it is inseparable from Zhang Jiaquan's ability to command troops. The men under this Jiedushi are also a group of good generals, and they are very good at running the army. Just look at these few
It can be seen that after Meibei heard his identity, apart from his initial surprise, he immediately regained his composure.
One of the soldiers bowed his hands, said, "Excuse me, sir," and hurried into the barracks to report.
The Lord of Gusu City here was complaining. Not long after, several strong men wearing silver-white armor and swords at their waists came with a powerful aura. They glanced at the Lord of Gusu and directly ignored him.
It fell on Zhuo Mufeng.
From the eyes of these people, Zhuo Mufeng saw deep surprise. In just a moment, several people strode forward and saluted: "I will see you, Master Recorder!"
His voice was loud and powerful, his attitude was respectful and humble, and even his eyes no longer had any strange color, as if Zhuo Mufeng was their boss for many years, and they would charge into battle for him as long as they gave an order.
The Gusu city advocate is talking loudly. When did these rough guys become so obedient?
Zhuo Mufeng was also secretly frightened. Of course he didn't think he had any domineering aura, so the only explanation was Zhang Jiaquan's attitude yesterday.
Zhuo Mufeng had reason to believe that Zhang Jiaquan must have sent someone to notify the military camp here before he presented the talisman. With the former's prestige, these generals certainly would not dare to violate it.
Putting down the surprise in his heart, Zhuo Mufeng smiled back: "The generals are so polite. Zhuo plans to visit the military camp. Is it inconvenient?"
Several people looked at each other. Among them, the man of medium stature but standing in the middle quickly stepped aside and stretched out his hand: "The Recorder is the highest general here. It is convenient at any time."
Entering the military camp, Zhuo Mufeng did not take things lightly, but carefully observed every place. He didn't know much about the army, but he still had good eyesight. He could tell that the military discipline here was strict, and there were constant shouts of killing on the school grounds.
It proves that this team is not just showy, I am afraid they have been on the battlefield.
After observing along the way, he found that several generals were not treating him perfunctorily, but sincerely followed him as their leader. Not only was he not happy, but he was even more shocked by Zhang Jiaquan's control over Wei Yudao.
Zhuo Mufeng knew very well that he was recognized today only because of Zhang Jiaquan's attitude. In the future, if Zhang Jiaquan turns against him, these people will definitely turn against him.
Until he left the military camp, Zhuo Mufeng was still in a heavy mood. This trip gave him a deep understanding of who belongs to Wei Yudao. Thinking of the unfathomable meaning of the Eastern Zhou Emperor, Zhuo Mufeng only felt that the pressure on his body increased tenfold.
.
After bidding farewell to the Lord of Gusu City, who nodded and bowed, Zhuo Mufeng returned to the Wu Mansion with a lack of interest. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Wu Guanting sitting on a stone bench, drinking tea alone.
"Father, why are you here?" Zhuo Mufeng was stunned, but he was not slow on his feet. Normally, Wu Guanting would deal with affairs in the study during the day, but it was rare like today. Could something be wrong?
Wu Guanting was deep in thought. When he heard the noise, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face. He cleared his throat, regained his smile and said, "Mu Feng disappeared so early in the morning. Where did he go?"
Zhuo Mufeng did not doubt that he was there. At Wu Guanting's signal, he sat next to him and said with a wry smile: "To be honest with my adoptive father, my son went to the military camp. I wanted to see the situation, but I didn't expect..." He told what happened before
I talked about it in detail. At this time, Zhuo Daguan also wanted to find someone to share the pressure.
Wu Guanting patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "You have no foundation yet, and this position is inherently unstable, so why bother thinking so much? If you really can't, just resign, as my father can still afford to support you."
Zhuo Mufeng felt warm in his heart when he heard this. This foster father had such an ability. His words and deeds made people truly feel his care from the heart. This was his unique personality charm.
Zhuo Mufeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, foster father, the child will be spared."
The two of them usually communicated about gang affairs. Wu Guanting obviously wanted to cultivate Zhuo Mufeng and would often ask him for his opinions on the development issues of the Sanjiang League.
But today, Wu Guanting was hesitant to speak several times. It seemed strange to him. He was obviously not here to discuss business. Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Father, is there anything else important?"
Wu Guanting said in his heart that it was of course a very important matter. But as the woman's father, he took the initiative to let Zhuo Mufeng and his daughter get married, but it felt a bit forced. He agreed readily last night, and when it came to the matter, with this
The face of the leader of the Sanjiang Alliance was a bit hard to express for a while.
Looking at Zhuo Mufeng's innocent look, Wu Guanting had an inexplicable urge to beat people up. He secretly thought that you, a kid like you, would be more polite and take the initiative to propose marriage. Do you still need me to talk about this? A grown man, he can't even connect the dots.
No sense of responsibility at all!
When it came to his daughter's life-long happiness, the leader of the witch union was rarely very angry, but he couldn't show it. In the end, he had to look away, looked at the willow tree next to him, and asked casually: "Mu Feng, how have you and Yuan Yatou been lately?"
How is it?"
Thinking that the adoptive father was caring about his daughter, Officer Zhuo responded obediently: "Please rest assured, adoptive father, my relationship with Yuan Yatou is very stable."
"Really?" Wu Guanting didn't seem to believe it, but actually he wanted to elicit what he said next.
"Yes." Unexpectedly, Zhuo Daguan's words were concise and concise, with only two words.
Then the two of them fell silent. Wu Guanting's eyes twitched quickly and he almost cursed. Very stable? You can handle it with just one sentence? After stabilizing, is there no next plan?
Wu Guanting suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhuo Mufeng with evil eyes. This was the first time that Zhuo Mufeng saw his adoptive father with such an expression. He was immediately on pins and needles. He thought he had done something wrong, so he tried uneasily: "Foster father"
,Any questions?"
Wu Guanting said calmly: "Yuan Yatou is twenty years old this year. She is not young anymore. If you compare it to ordinary people, the children would be very big."
Zhuo Mufeng nodded stupidly. This world is similar to the ancient times. It is normal to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Seeing that his adoptive father's expression was getting more and more ugly, Zhuo Mufeng was puzzled and said: "Yes, girl Yuan
It should be earlier..."
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and Zhuo Mufeng seemed to understand what Wu Guanting meant, and his mouth opened slightly. At this time, Wu Guanting looked away, looked straight ahead, and asked coldly: "What are your plans?"
So that’s it, I bet this adoptive father is here to urge the marriage today!
Zhuo Mufeng sweated profusely, and the beautiful figures of his sister in white, Su Zhilan, appeared in front of his eyes one after another, and he was confused for a moment.
Of course he loves the eldest lady very much and is willing to stay with her for the rest of his life, but if he openly marries the eldest lady, how will the other two women feel when they hear the news?
The boy kept thinking and was extremely tangled in his heart. After a brief hesitation, when he came back to his senses, he found that his adoptive father was staring at him with an unprecedented cannibalistic look, and his face was extremely ugly.
Officer Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly blurted out: "To be honest with my adoptive father, I really want to marry Yuan Yatou."
Wu Guanting snorted and asked, "Then why did you think about it for so long just now?"
Zhuo Mufeng bared his teeth and explained: "My child is just thinking about when should I marry Yuan Yatou, what kind of pomp should I put on, and will she be satisfied... Alas, every time I meet Yuan Yatou, my child always thinks
I can't help but think too much, for fear of not being worthy of her."
Seeing his sincere expression and calm tone, Wu Guanting finally accepted this statement. The clouds on his face immediately dissipated, the smile crawled back to his face, and he pretended to be angry: "Boy, you are worrying unfounded! Yuan Yatou is the father who has watched her grow up since she was a child.
Big one, how can a father not understand her thoughts? If she didn't like you, how could she agree to the marriage? Do you think being a father can force her?"
In order to cut through the trouble quickly, Wu Guanting changed the topic and announced directly: "Since your husband is in love, my concubine is interested in you, and you are so anxious to get married, my father will simply marry you! Then I will go back to discuss with your adoptive mother, and give me
You decide a good day."
The leader of the witch union was obviously concerned about his face and did not tell Miao Qingcheng that he had already set a date, which would be the eighth day of the next month. It was really hard to tell, as if his daughter couldn't get married and was in a hurry to force the marriage.
