My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

It was the eighth day of the ninth month in the sixth year of the Wenzhi reign.

at dusk.

Bai Shaoqiu and his party arrived at Fengling Pass under the escort of Luo Mu's 100 cavalrymen.

General Luo Mu, the garrison commander of Fengling Pass, personally welcomed them at the pass!

The soldiers on the wall were also very curious about this, as they had heard that the son-in-law of the Prince of Zhenxi was going to cross the border to Kyoto.

This is a rare thing for these soldiers.

What's strange is not why the general attaches so much importance to this son-in-law -

After all, he is the son-in-law of the prince's palace.

After all, the fourth young master of the palace is also traveling with us!

They didn't know that the general had already known the King of Zhenxi in a tavern at the foot of Shu Mountain. They thought it was normal for the general to show goodwill to the King of Zhenxi.

What they were curious about was the son-in-law of the royal family!

After all, they had all heard of Princess Changying's name, so they were very curious about what the son-in-law that the emperor had ordered to be given to Princess Changying looked like.

Especially since he transformed from a loser into a great talent with talents as tall as a three-story building...

Almost none of these soldiers have ever been to school.

I felt that this was just like something out of a play.

Luo Mu had never met Bai Shaoqiu either.

But he recognized Bai Shaoqiu in the crowd at a glance!

The scholar in white, um, Shang Yuan, could clearly feel the scent of books coming towards him.

The guards stood on both sides, Bai Shaoqiu and his group walked up the stairs, and Luo Mu walked down with a happy face.

meet.

He took the lead and respectfully saluted the old man standing in the middle:

"General Luo Mu, I pay my respects to you, eunuch!"

"It's because Luo Mu has official business and cannot come to greet you. Please forgive me, eunuch."

Eunuch Wei took a look and said, wow, this general is quite sensible.

He waved his hand and said, "General Luo, you are too polite. I know the rules. General, you are kind, and I will remember it."

Luo Mu quickly bowed again: "Thank you, eunuch!"

He stood up, his eyes fell on Bai Shaoqiu's face, and said with a smile:

"I guess the young master is Bai Shaoqiu?"

Bai Shaoqiu bowed and said, "That's my nephew."

Since he knew about the relationship between King Zhenxi and Luo Mu in the past, he had to lower his status in terms of seniority.

Luo Mu laughed out loud:

"it is good!"

"What a handsome boy!"

"My dear nephew, your uncle has heard of your great name for a long time!"

"Your poems, especially 'Fisherman's Pride, Autumn Thoughts,' delighted my uncle so much that he drank a glass of wine after reading a line. My uncle is a rough man, but he drank with your nephew's poem... The wine was inferior, but my uncle thought it tasted even better than the nectar!"

"amazing!"

"As expected of the son-in-law of the King of Zhenxi!"

He didn't say "son-in-law", his expression naturally revealed the joy from the bottom of his heart!

On his weather-beaten, dark face was the purest smile that belonged to a soldier.

Bai Shaoqiu also grinned,

The smile was a little shy, and a bit embarrassing.

"Uncle, you are too kind. I feel ashamed to hear it!"

Luo Mu waved his hand: "Uncle is not good at flattery! He is just a straightforward person. The lyrics are good, and they express the feelings of soldiers like us."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Tonight, your uncle will have a candlelit chat with you... well, we need wine, just like we used to have in that little tavern at the foot of Mount Shu with your father-in-law!"

"Let's go to my house..."

He looked at Dongfang Xun and said, "You follow my personal soldiers and all the guards to Dongying. I have already instructed the kitchen in Dongying to prepare more delicious food for the guards."

"After you have settled them, come to my house with my personal soldiers."

He looked at Eunuch Wei again and bowed, "Please come in, Eunuch!"

Eunuch Wei paused for three breaths and said, "It's not appropriate for me to go to the General's residence... How about I go with them to the East Camp?"

What Eunuch Wei originally meant was that he had become accustomed to the taste of Xiao Xi's cooking these days.

He liked it very much and thought Xiaoxi would also live in Dongying.

General Luo had prepared a welcoming wine at his home. He had eaten the military dishes before and they were really unpalatable.

When Luo Mu heard this, he couldn't give up. He quickly said:

"Eunuch, you are someone close to the emperor!"

"How dare I let you stay in Dongying... It's a military station, very simple. Now it's autumn, and only these young men huddled together there can keep warm."

"I just asked my wife to prepare some home-cooked dishes... They are not outsiders. Besides, even if I want to curry favor with the father-in-law and invite him to the restaurant, there is nothing wrong with this place."

When Eunuch Wei heard this, he felt that it would be inappropriate to refuse again.

He shook his head and smiled: "Okay, okay, okay!"

"I'll remember you, Luo Mu! Lead the way!"

Suddenly, a sound like spring thunder came from behind:

"And me?"

"I'm not going to your house anymore!"

"I'm going to Dongying with Xiaoxi!"

Of course he is Dongfang Meng.

Luo Mu looked at the tall and burly Dongfang Meng and said, "Fourth Young Master, you will naturally go to your uncle's house with him."

"I do not!"

Bai Shaoqiu also looked at Dongfang Meng and said, "There's something delicious going on, can't you afford it?"

Xiao Xi was obscured by Dongfang Meng's huge body. She kicked Dongfang Meng and whispered, "You idiot!"

"Of course I have to go if there's something delicious!"

"I'm tired too, but I don't want to cook for you. Just let me rest for a while!"

Dongfang Meng heard this and shouted at Bai Shaoqiu, "Brother-in-law...wait for me!"

……

……

The group followed Luo Mu into the customs.

This is a great pass!

Bai Shaoqiu had never been to Dasan Pass, so he couldn't make a comparison, but the pass in front of him was built with huge stones, with a large span and three gates.

The cave entrances on the left and right sides are gentle slopes, which can accommodate carriages and, of course, war horses.

The hole in the middle is a stone staircase, wide and flat, suitable for infantry to pass through.

Each of the three cave entrances has two heavy stone doors.

The stone gate is open now, I wonder if it will be closed at night.

The wall of the pass was very thick, and there were many soldiers patrolling on it.

Therefore, if you want to capture Fengling Pass, you still need to use your brain.

Bai Shaoqiu didn't think about it, he just habitually remembered some characteristics of this pass.

Stepping into Fengling Pass means entering the heart of Guanzhong.

As we went down the road, the carriages and horses moved much faster.

Luo Mu led them to the left, passed a well-organized camp and came to Luo Mu's general's mansion, which was also his home.

"I, Luo Mu, have spent my entire life in the military. Wherever I guard, that is my home!"

"My wife has suffered a lot since she married me..."

Stepping into the gate of the general's mansion, Luo Mu smiled again:

"She often said that this was what she owed me in her previous life."

"I haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness, and I'm living in fear every day."

"After so many years, she's used to it. After all, women are like that. I've gotten used to hearing her nagging in my ears so often."

As he walked towards the main courtyard with Eunuch Wei, Bai Shaoqiu and others, he said:

"But she also has a skill, which is cooking."

"Let me tell you, her cooking skills are quite good."

“Use local materials.”

"There are rabbits and pheasants in Fengling Mountain, not to mention other small animals like wild boars, wild sheep, foxes, deer, musk deer and so on."

"You're lucky. It rained a few days ago, and since nothing serious happened, I called two of my personal guards into the mountains."

"We've got a big fat dace. We're going to eat it tonight!"

Talking casually like this, Luo Mu brought Bai Shaoqiu and his party to the guest hall of the main courtyard.

There is a tea table and an eight-immortal table in the living room.

Luo Mu warmly invited Eunuch Wei, Bai Shaoqiu and Dongfang Meng to take a seat.

He looked at He Xiaofeng in shock for a moment, because no one had introduced him to this young man carrying two scimitars from beginning to end.

"This young master is...?"

He Xiaofeng had a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth without him noticing.

He folded his arms and calmly introduced himself:

"I'm Mr. Bai's doorman!"
