Yecheng is the capital of Zhao State, there are many official mansions, the strong crossbow general's mansion is not only remote, the mansion is also very narrow, like a two-way residence, this situation is not unexpected, because although the strong crossbow general is known as the general, in fact, the official rank is only five grades, such a grade in the county and state capital may also have a large mansion, in the imperial city can only live in such a small courtyard.
Arrive here, the night has fallen, the courtyard door is closed, don't ask to raise the air and look down high, only to see that there is no one in the courtyard, the east side of this small courtyard is the stable, the west side is unbiased room, the main room is five, the main house is not closed at this time, it can be seen that a man and two women and a child of fifteen or six years old are eating dinner in the main house.
The man should have been twenty-six or seventeen years old, tall, slightly thin, with very wide palms, thick joints, a peaceful face, and many handsome, and he should be the puxiong that Liu Sheng said.
The other two women were his wife and the maid of the house, and the boy was undoubtedly his child.
There were no trees around this courtyard, Mo Wen turned his head to look around, and then used his aura to sweep to the back eaves of a house ten steps south of the courtyard, and sat down from the chimney, looking out at the situation in the house on the north side.
Although separated by a distance of seven or eight zhang, the voices of Pu Xiong and the others can still be heard clearly, Pu Xiong is a Di person, to be exact, a Hu person, but his attitude towards his wife and children is not as barbaric as that of the Hu people, but there are many Han habits, including the maid did not send wantonly, and after eating a bowl of rice, he got up and added rice by himself.
After dinner, Pu Xiong came to the courtyard to sit alone in the shade, Mo Wen was afraid of being found by him, so he flashed sideways to the left side of the chimney, Pu Xiong sat for a moment and picked up the ox nose stone lock next to the stable to exercise his strength, and returned to the room after half an hour, there were five houses where he lived, the main house was in the middle, the west side was the room for storing rice grain, the west side was the maid's residence, the east house was the study, and the east two was the bedroom.
After Pu Xiong entered the house, the east side of the study was lit up, and through the window paper, it could be seen that Pu Xiong was reading in the room.
At this time, Mo Wen is quite satisfied with this person, although this person is thin, but his strength is strong, the opening and closing stone lock qi is stable, and he has the habit of reading, people who like to read are not necessarily erudite and talented, but they must be able to calm down people.
Pu Xiong read until late at night, and on the third watch, the bedroom was lit up, and it could be seen that the woman was carrying the boy who had fallen asleep through the main house to the maid's room, and then came to the room where Pu Xiong was, and the two whispered a few words, and Pu Xiong put down the scroll in his hand and blew out the lamp and candle in the study.
Seeing this situation, Mo asked that he was very satisfied with the style of Puxiong, whether a family was a well-known family and whether it was a strict family education, one of which was that there should be no children next to the husband and wife, and no matter whether the children were young or asleep, they should not do it.
Because if the child wakes up, he will inevitably hear about it, and although he does not understand it at this time, when he is fourteen or fifteen years old and remembers his past, he will despise his parents, and thus cause him to disobey the discipline and contradict his parents.
Therefore, Confucianism strongly opposes the presence of children when Dunlun is around, and Pu Xiong is a Hu man who can obey the words of the sages, and this person should be an upright person.
At this time, Pu Xiong had already returned to the bedroom and blew out the lamp and candle, seeing this situation, Mo Wen's detective picked up a piece of ash tile and threw it in the courtyard, and the tiles fell to the ground and broke with a small sound.
This move was intended to consider Pu Xiong's response, and after the tiles hit the ground, Pu Xiong quickly pushed the door out, neatly dressed and looked around vigilantly.
Mo Wen then threw another piece of gray tiles, and before the tiles hit the ground, Pu Xiong had already stepped on the ground, and after borrowing strength from the courtyard wall, he pounced on Mo Wen's hiding place.
Mo Wen had the heart to test his kung fu, and after he pounced, he reached out and met Pu Xiong's right palm, and when his palms were handed over, Pu Xiong retreated back.
"Friend, where am I guilty of you" Pu Xiong jumped back onto the courtyard wall after landing on the ground.
"What kind of blade do you use, go and get it."
Mo Wen said calmly, he had already tried out Puxiong's cultivation with one palm before, which should be similar to Zhang Dongzhi of the Jin Kingdom.
Pu Xiong did not hesitate when he heard this, but quickly went back to the house to carry the weapon out, what Mo Wen didn't expect was that the weapon used by this person turned out to be a thin-ridged steel knife, but he did not carry several like Zhang Dongzhi, in addition to the steel knife, he also grabbed a bow and arrow in his hand, and shot with a bow after leaving the house.
Mo Wen did not dodge or grasp it, because after listening to the argument, he determined that the arrow was not aimed at him, but at the chimney next to him, and the sharp arrow hit the chimney, Qi Yu did not miss it, and according to the strength, it was speculated that if there was no obstacle, this arrow should be able to shoot more than eight miles.
"How is your sword technique" Mo Wen asked in a low voice, it was already the middle of the night at this time, and speaking loudly would alarm people who were doing good things.
"Who are you?"
asked Pu Xiong in a low voice as he jumped onto the courtyard wall.
"Poor Dao Shangqing Sect Tianshuzi, common family name Mo."
Mo Wen got up, and slowly landed opposite Puxiong with a volley step.
"I don't know what happened when the real person visited the place late at night" Pu Xiong naturally heard the name of Mo Wen, and also knew that he was the new protector of Zhao State.
"Can you come into the house and talk," Mo asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Pu Xiong hesitated for a moment, then jumped back into the courtyard, "Please." ” Mo Wen smiled and nodded, Pu Xiong made a correct judgment in a very short time, although Pu Xiong was not sure that he was the true protector of the country, but he understood that with his cultivation to kill them, they had no power to resist at all.
After nodding, Mo Wen landed in the courtyard and followed Pu Xiong into the main house, Pu Xiong entered the house first, and closed the ajar east door after entering the house.
Light the candles and take a seat.
Mo Wen took a deep breath after sitting down, the main house of Puxiong's house is also a stove room, what kind of food a family often cooks, it will leave a strong smell over time, according to the smell, Puxiong's family does not eat much meat.
"Do you know that the Yan army of the three counties of Huangbai Yong has invaded the south side by side," Mo asked in a voice.
"I haven't heard of it."
Pu Xiong shook his head and said.
He was a junior officer, and he had no access to such secrets.
"At this time, each of the three counties has 10,000 Zhao soldiers, 10,000 to resist the Yan army, and 50,000 Zhao soldiers have reached the vicinity of Hei County, if it were you, how would you arrange your troops" Mo Wen asked casually, he did not tell Pu Xiong in detail about the situation of the enemy army, so as to test whether Pu Xiong cared about the war in the northeast.
"If you have a distinguished guest coming to the door, please serve the tea."
Pu Xiong put down the steel knife in his hand and said to the back room, only at this moment did he believe that it was really the real person who protected the country.
"No need to bother, it's late at night, I won't stay long."
Mo Wen waved his hand and said.
"The real person's question is too general, I don't know what the real person wants to achieve," Pu Xiong asked.
"How to do it for the benefit of Zhao State."
Mo asked.

Pu Xiong frowned and pondered when he heard this, he knew that Mo Wen was testing him, and he also guessed that if he answered satisfactorily, he would be reused, so he was extremely cautious.
Mo Wen waited patiently, but after a long time, Pu Xiong shook his head, "Yan Guo relies on demon beasts and ghost soldiers, and our side has no chance of winning, so we can only retreat." ” "Excluding the demon beasts and ghost soldiers."
Mo Wen smiled. "50,000 reinforcements will stay in Heijun, wait for the enemy to come from afar, and kill them in one fell swoop."
This time, Puxiong replied very quickly.
Mo Wen nodded when he heard this, turned to leave his seat and stood up, "Pack your bags, and go out with me tomorrow, there are five thousand cavalry for you to command." ” "The last general is only a five-rank military attaché, and the power is up to five hundred."
Pu Xiong shook his head and said.
"Rise to the second grade."
Mo Wen turned around and walked forward.
"Thanks to the respect of real people, the last general is willing to follow real people to the death."
Puxiong got down on one knee in the back.
"Get up, don't scare the kids."
Mo Wen turned around and waved his hand.
Hearing this, Pu Xiong hurriedly got up, walked out quickly and opened the courtyard door for Mo Wen, lowered his hands behind him, and sent him off continuously.
Mo Wen said goodbye with a smile, the reason why he bothered so much was because the march and war must have his own cronies, and whoever is promoted will be loyal to whom, this is a well-known truth.
Although he left for a day, Mo Wen was not in a hurry to return to the Sifang Pavilion, because he knew Liu Shaoqing, Liu Shaoqing's courage was not big, the reason why he became so arrogant at this time was because of the method of stealth, but the timidity in his bones is difficult to change, and the timid person is bound to look forward and backward, he left for a day, Liu Shaoqing would suspect that there was fraud in it, but he did not dare to rashly attack Shi Zhen.
Outside the Sifang Pavilion, Mo Wen did not knock on the door, but climbed over the courtyard wall, but after landing in the courtyard, he hurriedly jumped up again, and at the same time, the dogs in the courtyard barked, and dozens of hideous hounds ran from the courtyard to the bottom, raising their heads and barking.
"Where did the vicious dog come from" Mo asked in confusion, how could he leave, but in just one day, the heavenly courtyard became a kennel.
As soon as the words fell, Shi Zhen's shouting voice came from the south room on the second floor, and those hounds stopped barking when they heard the shouting, so they left Mo to find a place to lie down.
"Haha, you can figure it out."
Mo Wen said with a smile outside the window on the second floor, Shi Zhen likes hunting very much, these hunting dogs are undoubtedly used when hunting, his actions last night made Shi Zhen angry and reminded Shi Zhen, so he brought the hunting dogs here, and the prevention is naturally Liu Shaoqing, although Liu Shaoqing can hide his body, his aura cultivation is not high, and the sound when he moves can't hide these hunting dogs.
"Hmph."
There was a cold snort from Shi Zhen in the room.
Mo Wen saw that she had no intention of opening the window, so he moved to the second room in the south and pushed the window in, Shi Zhen's move really solved his thorny problem, there were hunting dogs outside, he could warn in advance, he had enough time to react, there was no need to share the same room with Shi Zhen again.
"Everything for tomorrow's etiquette is here."
Shi Zhen shouted in the south room.
Mo Wen opened the door and came out, and when he arrived at Shi Zhen's door, Shi Zhen had already opened the door, "Where did you go during the day?"
"Go back to Wuliang Mountain to see some old people, by the way, tomorrow you will enter the palace to ask for the holy decree, and promote the crossbow general Pu Xiong to the second general, this person is your Hu people, quite capable, and he commands the five thousand cavalry."
Mo Wen walked into the room and walked to the wooden table, on which there were more than a dozen brocade boxes, large and small.
"See if it fits."
Shi Zhen followed, opened one of the brocade boxes, and took out a cyan robe.
This scene reminded Mo Wen of the situation when Zhou Guiren customized the robe for him in the Jin Kingdom, but the robe prepared by Zhao Guo for him is much more expensive than the one prepared by Zhou Guiren, it is a real feather robe, the Taoist robe of the Taoist Gate is the same as the robe of the Buddhist Gate, which is divided into multiple grades, of which the highest specification is the feather robe with the feather of the crane and the feather is twisted and threaded, this kind of Taoist robe is light and clean, and the rain does not get wet.
"There's also a black crane here."
When Mo Wen looked at the light feather coat, Shi Zhen took out a large feather from the largest brocade box, which was made of the entire outer feather of the black crane and was compacted, the style was similar to that of the cloak, because each feather had a gold wire bolt, so it was extremely smooth, and there was a flash of gold under the shaking, which was both precious and practical.
"Your sword is certainly not as good as this one."
Shi Zhen didn't know that Mo Wen was actually wearing a single-edged black knife, and he was selling Guan Zi with a snake sheath long sword at this time.
"You have a heart, I won't want these things, I have my own clothes."
Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"Do you know how much gold this spent?"
Shi Zhen asked rhetorically.
"I really don't need to."
Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"You don't have to be so obvious to keep your distance from our Zhao Kingdom," Shi Zhen looked dissatisfied.
"Okay, I accepted this crane, I really don't want the robe, it's too noble, I don't have the qualifications to wear it."
Mo Wen said out loud, what Shi Zhen said made sense, even if you want to keep your distance, you don't have to care about these details, and everything looks small.
"And boots."

Shi Zhen took out another pair of boots.
"It's too arrogant, how can I step on yin and yang" Mo Wen shook his head and said, the clothes of Taoists have their own rules, and yin and yang patterns can only be used for outerwear.
"Dust, you must take this dust."
Shi Zhen put down his boots, opened another brocade box and took out a dust, which was a white jade dust, and the dust silk was a crane feather strand.
"These are all exempted, tomorrow you will send someone to Wuliang Mountain to deliver a hundred rolls of cloth, I have already agreed."
Mo Wen turned around to leave.
"These are small things, this sword is as sharp as clay, it is very famous, and it is worse than your piece of broken copper" "Famous things don't necessarily work."
Don't ask to return the knife to the sheath.
"It's okay to keep it for spare, why are you cutting it," Shi Zhen said distressedly.
"I only need one, no need for spare.
Rest early, we'll be on our way tomorrow afternoon.
Mo Wen turned around and went out.
"If you really go, those dogs may not be useful."
Shi Zhen stomped his foot and said.
Mo Wen stopped when he heard the words, turned around and went back to the piano platform and lay down, Qingyangzi's words touched him a lot during the day, he must get rid of his pedantic spirit, and Taoists should act freely and freely.
Shi Zhen didn't expect Mo Wen to be willing to stay, and happily ran back to the bed to lie down and rest.
Early the next morning, Mo Wen got up to prepare, first went to the bathroom to bathe, and then changed his clothes, he was still wearing his previous clothes, close to noon, went to the Dharma platform outside the imperial city, the Dharma platform is nine layers, three zhang high, six sides and four directions, the south side is covered with a red cloth covered with steps, all officials are here, and all the people are watching.
But where there is a legal platform, there is a stage to worship the prime minister, this matter should have been done by the emperor himself, but the emperor did not appear, but appointed the prince instead, even so the etiquette is very grand, the prince bowed down to offer the double tiger gold seal, read the holy decree in person, and did not ask the military of the four counties in the northeast, and the king of the county.
Shi Zhen sent the Qin to supervise the army, led the political affairs of the four counties, and went to the northeast on the same day to sway the thieves and pacify the Kou.
After receiving the golden seal, there was a street parade ceremony, but Mo Wen was very unhappy with the word street parade, so he canceled it, and in the afternoon, he led the cavalry to leave Yecheng and rush to the northeast:
