Chapter 4 Thirty-one stone per mu(1/2)
Xu Mu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Of course, the rebellion failed and the whole family was killed! What we did was a major rebellion, and we were 99% sure. Isn't it worth it?"
To be honest, there is definitely a possibility of failure in rebellion.
Even if you are a time traveler and have time to accelerate, you cannot guarantee 100% success.
What if a great wizard like Liu Xiu comes?
Isn’t this how Wang Mang, a suspected time traveler, got fucked?
So Xu Mu didn't say that much.
But seeing that Lao Yang and Lao Lai were a little moved, he asked the soldiers to untie the ropes on the two of them.
Let them live in their own three-story western-style building.
Of course, soldiers responsible for guarding the guards around them are indispensable.
Yang Guang was rolled by Xu Mu, surprisingly not angry...
Xu Mu has not been polite to him these days, and he actually feels a little used to it.
With a embarrassed smile, he and Lai Hu'er were taken back to the small western-style building.
At Xu Mu's instructions, the soldiers still gave them enough private space and did not monitor them at all times.
The soldiers just stood guard around the small western-style building to prevent them from escaping.
Of course, it is impossible for them to escape.
This is a deep mountain forest, and there are even major secret whistles arranged by Zhang Xutuo outside. They want to escape without being discovered unless they are gods.
In the small western-style building, the first floor is the reception hall.
The second floor is the study room.
The third floor is the bedroom.
At this time, Yang Guang and Lai Hu'er were in the study on the second floor, with the king and his ministers facing each other, extremely embarrassed.
They have been arrested for three days.
This was the first time they had been together alone in three days and could talk to each other.
Without hesitation, Lai Hu'er looked panicked and knelt in front of Yang Guang, kowtowed: "I deserve to die, and I will let Your Majesty suffer such humiliation. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
As the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger.
Especially Yang Guang, the tyrannical emperor.
The kind of person who kills the ministers if he disagrees.
Lai Hu'er knew Yang Guang's temper very well. Usually, at this time, he should have kicked himself in the face and cursed.
but……
To his surprise, Yang Guang's reaction was very calm.
He didn't even say a word.
He walked to the bookshelf and flipped through the book notes.
"Your Majesty...My Majesty..."
Lai Hu'er became even more frightened. This was the rhythm of raiding the family and killing the whole country.
It would be fine if Your Majesty gets angry. If you don’t get angry, it means that one or two people can’t solve the problem.
At least tens of thousands of people will die.
Yang Guang then glanced at him and smiled bitterly: "Recipe for punishment? Why should I punish me? Look around, what qualifications do I have to punish you?"
"Get up."
He waved his hand, pointed outside, and sighed: "Before leaving the thief's nest, you and I are no longer monarchs and ministers, and I can no longer call me."
Yang Guang's mentality changed very quickly. Before he could come to Hu'er to speak again, he continued, "How do you feel when you see it today?"
Lai Hu'er stood up and bent down and replied, "Go back to yourselves... Go back to your master, this thief's nest... has unfathomable strength. Three thousand elite soldiers are worthy of being the name of the Tiger Ben. Even the elite soldiers trained by the former Shangzhu Kingdom are nothing more than that..."
The Shangzhu Kingdom he mentioned was Zhang Xutuo who was killed by the Wagang Village rebels two years ago.
When Yang Guang mentioned Zhang Xutuo, his expression was disheartened.
Among all the generals, if you say who is the most loyal to him, it must be Zhang Xutuo.
Therefore, after ascending the throne, Zhang Xutuo was promoted repeatedly and later became the Shangzhu Kingdom.
"If Xu Tuo is here, why would the traitors in the world be so arrogant!"
Yang Guang held the book in his hand tightly, and at the moment, he could only hope... Pei Qiantong could find the thief's nest and rescue him.
"Do you think Qiantong can save us?"
Yang Guang looked at Lai Hu'er, hoping that this military general could give him hope.
But... Lai Hu'er bowed his head and said, "My subordinates dare not deceive the king. Pei Qiantong's younger brother is unable to bear the great responsibility. To break this city, we must resurrect the Shangzhu Kingdom!"
Yang Guang sighed long, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Well, let's see what new things the thief wants us to see tomorrow."
If it really doesn't work, at worst... I'll just pretend to rebel with the thief first.
...
In Wanmin City, Xu Mu is moving.
Move from outside the city to inside the city.
Although Wanmin City was established, only the outer city fortifications were established, mainly because if it was discovered by the Sui Dynasty, there would be a strong city to guard.
As for the city, it is still empty, and only the military camp has been established.
All of them are made of cement and rock structures, and most of the buildings are two-story and very sturdy.
The lord's mansion where Xu Mu lives is built with five floors, and each floor has a large number of rooms.
It was Xu Mu who planned to live with those core members in the future.
The lord's mansion is located on the south side of the military camp. As for the center of the military camp, the most core is the scope of the research institute.
Xu Mu ordered that no one would go to the institute unless he came in person!
All the people who were in charge of garrison here were his confidants. The man who followed him at first had no doubt about his loyalty.
After the soldiers helped them move their house, Xu Mu stood alone on the roof and looked at the sky.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Before he knew it, he has been in this world for three years.
"It's almost done. As long as I hear the news of Yang Guang's death, I can walk out of Wanmin City to compete for the world and witness this magnificent end of the Sui Dynasty!"
He made so much preparations for this, and now he is finally going to make a comeback.
Since he decided to rebel, Xu Mu never dared to take risks easily and rarely left the mountains.
The only time was to recruit Zhang Xutuo, a powerful general.
Fortunately, he bet right.
"Calling the time, Zhang Mengnan is coming back soon. I wonder if the old house has been brought back?"
Xu Mu tilted his head and was thinking about it all the time... Fang Xuanling, who was later praised as the number one prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Yang Guang was not dead, Li Yuan had not yet raised an army in Jinyang, and the old house should have not taken action to surrender to Li Tang in his hometown.
Zhang Xutuo logically said that he would not miss it.
"Tomorrow, I will practice my hands with Lao Yang... Cough cough, practice my mouth. These two are small characters, Lao Fang is a great man..."
Xu Mu suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to prepare for tomorrow's wealth display activities.
...
The next day.
At sunrise, Xu Mu woke up.
There is no way, it was woken up by the sound of training in the army.
Who made Zhang Xutuo's rule that the sunrise will be at the end of ten laps later?
There is a one-kilometer-long playground in the military camp. Anyone who is late for training will have to run ten laps.
After ten laps, it is twenty miles.
With this order, no one in the army dares to be lazy.
Xu Mu was also in trouble.
In order to ensure his safety, he has always lived in the military camp.
So I gradually developed the habit of getting up early.
When I get up, I face a lot of... political affairs, that is, the big and small things in Wanmin City have to be dealt with.
For example, the first phase of residential areas will be in the near future, the matter of land distribution, newly discovered mining areas, etc.
To be continued...
