Rebirth: Dominating the Country

The rest of the way was accompanied by Madam Su, and Xia Ming'an did not go with her.

"Although I really want to see how the little master will react, but at this moment, it is better for me not to go. After all, I have taught you for so long before, and now I have to occupy the first meeting between the elders and you." If there is time, some people will be dissatisfied."

Xia Ming'an standing in front of him was obviously not very similar to the immortal Tai Tuo in the Imperial College who always had a cold face, although the smile on that face was very hypocritical, and his voice was completely full of false joy.

The Taifu Xia in Mu Bai's memory was not a man who was good at human relations and wore a false mask all day long.But people will always change, just like Xia Ming'an now, and himself.

Although there were many sighs, it was only a momentary thing in his mind. After saying goodbye temporarily, Mu Bai followed Su Momo into the brightest hall in the house.

It is not as splendid as the Golden Luan Hall, and there are no famous landscape paintings hanging on it, and there are no antique vases on the table or shelf.

The draft came in from among the empty pillars. There were more than a dozen chairs placed in a circle in such a large place, and a larger one was placed in the middle, which was obviously prepared for Mu Bai. It looked quite interesting. The taste of multiple trials.

But there was no one on these chairs, only a few maids standing on one side.

When the two of them came in, the maid who was guarding came over to say hello: "Master, hello, Elder Su, the person who delivered the news just came, and the elders encountered a little problem on the way, so we are still here." It will take half an hour to arrive."

"I see, you go down first, and come to inform me when they come." After the woman ordered the maid, she turned her head and said softly: "Master has been running around for a long time, just lean on the chair and rest for a while, wait for them I'll call you when I get there."

After she finished speaking, she pulled the chair away, let Mu Bai sit on the middle chair, and found another chair to sit down.

Mu Bai didn't rest well in the carriage, and walked for a long time wearing complicated clothes, and he was indeed a bit tired at the moment, so he leaned back on the chair and took a nap.

This rest lasted for more than half an hour, and when Mu Bai woke up, the chairs around him were already full of people, except for a woman named Su Momo, the rest were men.Although they are all elders in the maid's mouth, Mu Bai is really amazed by the age difference.

There are octogenarians with white beards dragging to the ground, and children with yellow hair hanging down. Of course, most of them are middle-aged men, and there are two who are about the same age as Mu Bai. Of course, they may not be the age they appear to be.

"Little master is really young, and looks even younger."

"Can such an age only take on major responsibilities? It seems unreliable."

"Don't say that, didn't the master shoulder such a heavy responsibility at a young age, and the young master probably did the same."

"How can this be the same? The master grew up in the clan and knows the clan members very well. He has kept his responsibilities and missions in mind since he was a child. The one in front of him..."

……

These people looked at Mu Bai as a rare and strange beast, while discussing in low voices, of course they were so close, their words fell into Mu Bai's ears word for word.In the end, Nanny Su couldn't help it: "Have you said enough? I didn't bring my little master here today to let you point and watch! If you have something to say, talk about it quickly. Hurry back with the little master."

Accompanied by Madam Su's voice was a strong gust of drafts, to the extent that it could overturn people's chairs. The people present sat securely, but the hair of several people present was blown into a mess, and Mu Bai's chair was blown. Surrounded in the middle, and sitting with the wind, the impact is relatively small, and when the wind blows, he still looks like the handsome young man.

It takes a lot of effort to speak in the wind, and when the whirring wind dies down, the one with the beard dragged to the ground came out to smooth things over while combing his well-cared-for beard: "I'm talking about Sanniang, if you don't say it, don't say it." , Let’s talk about business. But I have to tell you one thing, this place is really frustrating, it’s always blowing strange winds, and my beard is messed up.”

"The wind blows just enough to clear your minds and save you from getting dizzy and dirtying the land." According to her ability and status, Madam Su ranked third among this group of people. No low position.

"We all know the general situation of the little master, so we don't need to waste time to introduce it. Since time is tight, we will briefly talk about ourselves. I am Yunyi, and I am thirty-three this year. .” The first person to speak was a middle-aged man with an elegant face, dressed as a scholar in a blue shirt, with the highest status in this group of people.

"Yunyi, Jiedu envoy of Jinggu?" Mu Bai knew the life of Jiedu envoys from all over the place like the palm of his hand. This Jiedu envoy has never been liked by Emperor Qiwen, but he really can't find any faults, Jinggu can be regarded as In remote places, just let it go.

"It's the subject."

The next few also roughly introduced their own situation according to what Yunyi said. Except for a certain boy who was over half a century old and looked like a weak crown boy, everyone else was about the same as Mu Bai expected. The youngest was only eight years old, just because of his talent. Intelligent, with a very high seniority, he is also counted among the twelve elders, and has a high status in the clan.

After exchanging opinions, Yunyi finally spoke: "We are no better than Sanniang. Although you were taught by Xia Mingan, you only learned of our existence in recent days. We are not as capable as her for the little master." Understanding, trust and loyalty are definitely not enough. Although the ancestral precept requires us to be loyal to you, we need your proof to be able to entrust the lives and future of so many people to you."

"That's not what you said at the beginning." Su Ying obviously didn't expect that this group of people would come up with this kind of rhetoric temporarily. Although what she said was reasonable, she still found it difficult to accept it for a while.

"It's understandable and acceptable. However, if I meet your requirements, what can you give me?"

"If the master can meet our standards, we will naturally go through fire and water, and we will not hesitate. At that time, we will take the pills developed by our family, and the saint will hand over the flute for controlling Gu insects to you. What does the master want? ?”

"Why do we have to obey that strange thing?" Obviously Yunyi didn't mention this point during the discussion before, someone retorted in a low voice on the spot, but was forced to silence by the former's cold face.

"Then what is your standard? I need a precise goal, not empty words."

"Jingcheng, we want Jingcheng." Yunyi made eye contact with several people again, and explained the purpose of coming this time: "Emperor Qiwen has always wanted to take Jingcheng, and he also announced his will. ——If anyone in the imperial palace and nobles can win Jingcheng, whose territory will be there. , if you can capture that city, you will have fulfilled our request."

"You guys are really going too far, how can three months be enough? And how can governing a country be the same as leading an army to fight a war, this standard is really unreasonable." Before Mu Bai could speak, Mother Su complained loudly.

Her heart was biased from the beginning, not to mention the fact that these people's demands were indeed exceeded.

"I will come again in three months. Don't forget to bring eleven pills and the flute in your mouth."

After saying this, Mu Bai got up and walked outside, Su Momo also stood up quickly, and went out with him: "Let me lead the way."

The remaining eleven people looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously they did not expect the other party to agree so simply.

"Why does he only need eleven pills, we obviously have twelve elders."

"It's really stupid. Sanniang must not be included here. I really don't know whether we want him to win Jingcheng or not."

"Why are you worrying so much about it? Let's just wait patiently. It's still unknown whether he can gnaw down the big bone of Jingcheng. Let's wait until then."

"Do you want to rest for a night before leaving? It's okay to delay for such a short time."

"No need, since there are only three months left, it's better to go back earlier." Mu Bai waited for the coachman to harness the good horses that had been raised in the house for many days, then stepped on the stool and got into the carriage.

Although princes and nobles prefer to step on the backs of servants, Mubai still likes stools, the main reason is not because of his consideration for servants, but rather than people, he believes in stools that have no life and will not think about them.

When going back, Mu Bai's carriage also turned into the inconspicuous back door through the alley.When he returned to the palace, he naturally had a good rest. The shadow guard who was acting as a substitute stayed outside for a whole day, and was replaced only after Mubai rested.

Jinxiu served tea that night: "Is it true that General Su does not need to be notified in the battle of Jingcheng? If he can help, the chances of winning will be even higher."

The man let the pigeon with the secret letter fly out: "He has more uses, and he doesn't need it now."
