The next morning, Xu Mubai stopped meditating. After a night of cultivation, Xu Mubai felt refreshed and didn't feel sleepy at all.
" Knock, knock, knock…" Someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Xu Mubai shouted.
"It's me, Er Niu!" Tian Erniu's voice was especially loud as he shouted into the door.
Xu Mubai's figure moved, and he was already at the door. When he opened the door, he saw Tian Erniu panting as he held the wall with one hand and waved his palm with the other. His expression was like a pug in June.
Xu Mubai stretched his back and yawned. He said listlessly,"What are you doing? He made himself look like a pug looking for water. Did he think that he didn't know dogs?”
Tian Erniu was originally a big man, but he was not very smart. When he heard this, he was stunned. However, he did not mind and said,"No, boss, why are you still sleeping? The magistrate is looking for you. It seems like he has some business that he needs you to do!”
Xu Mubai glared at Tian Erniu and said,"What do you know? The ancients said that art comes from life, so sleeping is an art. Do you understand? I'm pursuing the footsteps of art! Forget it, you don't understand this either. Wait for me, let's go to the government office together.”
About half an hour later, Xu Mubai and Tian Erniu arrived at the yamen. Xu Mubai had already changed into a police uniform. He was dressed in a red robe with black patterns on his sleeves. He wore a black bun on his head and purple lotus boots on his feet. His slender figure was as straight as a benchmark. His fair and healthy skin color was slightly yellow. His eyebrows were cut, his nose was high, and his black eyes occasionally flashed with dark green. His body had a cold aura that was hidden in the city.
In the study in the backyard of the yamen.
Ou Guo Qiang looked at Xu Mu Bai, then took out a letter and handed it to Xu Mu Bai: "Mubai, you have to personally hand this letter to Magistrate Chen of Jiaxing. According to the reports from the scouts, the Mongol army could not take Xiangyang by force, so they would most likely attack by water. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions would be the primary landing point.”
Xu Mubai looked at Ou Guoqiang and said,"Uncle, why don't you report this directly to the Imperial Court? Besides, wouldn't it be better to report this directly to Futai in Zhejiang?"”
Ou Guoqiang chuckled and said,"Mubai, do you think I don't want to? However, there was no real evidence for this, so they would not believe it. Moreover, in the current imperial court, the powerful officials of the imperial court were in power. No one would care about this kind of unfounded information. However, Magistrate Chen is different. He and I have been good friends for many years.”
Xu Mubai then remembered that Jiaxing was closely connected to the Qiantang River. If the Mongolian army attacked, the Qiantang River would be a landing point. Moreover, the court's waterway trade was now smooth, and there were many people coming and going on the Qiantang River. If the Mongolian spies were mixed among the merchants, they would probably work together from the inside and the court's army would be in danger.
"Uncle, please rest assured. I will definitely hand it over to Magistrate Chen personally!”After Xu Mubai cupped his hands, he quickly walked out and headed straight for his home. He packed his luggage and prepared to leave.
This Xiangyang Yamen was not bad. Because it was a border camp, the court had to treat it well. As a constable, Xu Mubai had a horse to ride.
Riding on a fine horse, he sprinted all the way. In less than half a day, he arrived at the intersection of Huainan Road and Jingxi Road. The sun was already setting in the west. They passed by the entrance of a valley, which led to a forest. Xu Mubai looked around and sighed in his heart."Tsk tsk, this is really a good place to rob. If I were a bandit, I would definitely set up an ambush here…"
"Hey…"
Suddenly, there was a sound. Xu Mubai turned around and saw forty to fifty sharp bamboo stakes shooting out from the high ground on both sides of the valley. The sound of "xiu" was like a rain of bullets.
Seeing this, Xu Mubai lowered his head and suddenly clamped his legs on the horse's belly. The horse felt the pain and started running.
Even so, he managed to dodge most of the bamboo stakes, but he allowed a small portion to shoot towards Xu Mubai. Xu Mubai's brows furrowed slightly, and with a flash of lightning, he reached out to grab a bamboo stake that was flying towards him. He used the bamboo to stir the bamboo stakes, waving them around like a flood dragon, and the sounds of banging could be heard without end. Every time, he managed to dodge it, and in a few breaths, the bamboo stakes were all knocked to the ground.
The Non-Phase Hand was all-encompassing and divided into nine paths. It could be integrated into all martial arts moves in the world. Conversely, it could naturally be integrated into various weapons, and its power would not be reduced at all.
Looking at the sharp bamboo stakes that were deeply embedded in the ground, in the face of life and death, Xu Mubai's heart became even calmer. Because the calmer one was, the more apprehensive the enemy would be, and even more so, the shackles in their hearts.
He stopped his horse and looked around vigilantly. At this moment, a dozen bandits rushed out from the high ground on both sides and surrounded Xu Mubai. When they formed a circle, they suddenly opened up a gap and saw a bald man walk in.
his bald head was bright and shiny. He was in his forties. He was wearing a tattered mink coat and a large pancake. He had broad eyebrows, toad eyes, a flat nose, and a curly nose. His face was ashen. He wore a green fur coat and wore a pair of boots with a big tail. He held a pig iron spiked club in his hand and rode a red date horse.
"Who are you? Why did you ambush me!" Xu Mubai calmly called out.
"Yo, brother, looking at your clothes and skills, you should be a rich man. Our brothers have been a little embarrassed recently and want to borrow some money from you.。”The bald man looked at Xu Mubai with a ruffian aura.
"Borrow some money?" Xu Mubai immediately felt relieved. This was the first time he had been robbed in his two lives.
"So what if you want to rob me? Too unprofessional! There wasn't even a slogan! You've really disgraced the bandits." Xu Mubai held the reins in his hand and shook his head with a regretful expression.
"Slogan?" The underlings and the bald boss were stunned.
The corner of Xu Mubai's mouth twitched.""Yes, the slogan! He should have suddenly jumped out and shouted," Hey, this road is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass through, leave behind the money to buy the road. If you break your teeth, kill me, but don't bury me!" This was so simple and clear, so imposing!”
The bald boss was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he propped his chin on his hand and carefully sized up Xu Mubai. He saw that Xu Mubai's body was cold and he had a dignified appearance. His eyes were like stars, and his eyebrows were like paint. He thought to himself, What a handsome young man. Perhaps what he said just now had spoken the truth of a mountain bandit, and he suddenly had a good impression of him.
"Brother, I didn't expect to meet someone of the same path today. How about this, seeing that brother is not a layman, our mountain just happens to be lacking someone who knows how to chew words. Moreover, brother, your skills are not bad. If you can join our mountain, I will let you be the second in charge. How about it?”
Looking at the situation, Xu Mubai suddenly thought of a second-rate expert. He was stunned for a moment. This mountain bandit's brain didn't seem to work well. He actually pulled people into the mountain.
He smiled. His smile was 30% evil, 30% confident, and 40% sad. "Pull me into the mountains?" You know my identity? If I join you, aren't you afraid that I'll sell you all out?”
The bald boss's thoughts turned as if he was deep in thought. He asked foolishly,"Then tell me, what do you do?”
Xu Mubai chuckled." Me? I have nothing to do but be a small constable at the Xiangyang government office!”
Hearing this, everyone's expression suddenly changed. They hadn't expected Xu Mubai to be a business officer. One was black and the other was white. If he really found out about their mountain, they might not even be able to sleep peacefully. They might even have to worry that someone would destroy their nest at any time.
Without waiting for the bandits to speak, Xu Mubai's expression suddenly changed and he shouted,"You ambushed the imperial court's envoy first. You should be beheaded! "Then, you even obstructed my official business. I'm afraid that the punishment for both crimes is not as simple as beheading. In my opinion, if I report it to the imperial court, it would be a light punishment to confiscate my house! Get out of my way!"
The bald boss was stunned. After a long silence, he suddenly laughed and said,"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. You're just a small constable, yet you're spouting nonsense here. However, you're quite interesting. Think about it, if we kill you, who will know? No one would even know if he was buried! But then again, we don't know what important official business you have. Since you're on an errand, we don't want to cause trouble. Leave the money and I'll let you go. How about it?”
Xu Mubai sat on his horse and tightly gripped his scabbard. His eyes were cold and he sneered. He thought of the bamboo stake just now. If he hadn't made some small progress these days, he would have died here! Moreover, if it had been an ordinary merchant group, they would definitely have been killed or injured. How could Xu Mubai not be angry with such a vicious attack? Killing intent rose in his heart!
His deep eyes were like a pool of stagnant water as he stared at the bald boss. His face was expressionless, and if one did not look carefully, it was difficult to notice the contempt in his eyes. To Xu Mubai, he had been a public servant for two lifetimes. These people who treated human lives as nothing, since they didn't listen to advice, since they encountered them, then they had to fulfill their duty!
"Kid, I advise you to hand over all the valuable things on you. Oh, this horse is not bad either. Leave it all behind and I'll spare your life! Otherwise, don't blame us for hurting you, this pretty boy!”
The bald boss looked at Xu Mubai and didn't react. As the boss, although he felt a little uneasy, as a mountain bandit, he naturally understood the principle that the brave would die from overfilling and the timid would starve to death. At the same time, they thought to themselves, How much skills can a little pretty boy constable have? He was definitely not his match, so he shouted out tentatively.
" That's right, that's right. Kid, our boss asked you to hand it over…"
"Hahaha…this pretty boy is probably scared out of his wits.”
Xu Mubai smiled and looked at the bald boss. His face was bright and honest."Oh? Since that's the case, come and take it. I'm a very easygoing person. However, let me remind you. I'm afraid that if you're alive to take it, you won't be able to spend it. That's not worth it.!”
These words caused everyone to burst into laughter, as if they were laughing at Xu Mubai's ignorance.
" Whoosh…" The bald boss's feet gently clamped the horse's belly. The red date horse slowly approached Xu Mubai, but its hands were tightly gripping its spiked club. A trace of vigilance could be clearly seen in its eyes.
As the boss, he had intercepted many people, but Xu Mubai gave him the feeling that he was being stared at by a tiger.
Suddenly, he saw Xu Mubai rub his nose for no reason, his eyes filled with killing intent. He immediately cried out in his heart and prepared to retreat.
At this moment, Xu Mubai pulled out his sword. Everyone only heard a light sound of the sword and the scabbard rubbing against each other. Before they could react, they felt a light suddenly shine in front of them. Then, like a flash in the pan, it disappeared in an instant.
"Remember to be a good person in your next life!”Xu Mubai lightly patted the back of his horse and walked to the bald boss 'ear. Then, the bald boss fell to the ground with a loud crash, and a trace of blood slowly seeped out of his neck.
Before anyone could react, Xu Mubai suddenly grabbed the reins and squeezed the horse's belly with his legs. Like an arrow, he shot towards his underlings like a lightning blade. Seeing this, his underlings hurriedly tilted the weapons in their hands towards the charging horses.
He was close! He was close!
The underlings swallowed their saliva. After all, the impact of a horse was no joke. Even if they could stab the horse, it would be strange if the impact did not send them flying.
In the end, the lackeys lowered their heads and swallowed their saliva. When the horses rushed over, they suddenly made way for them. However, someone suddenly shouted," Boss was killed by him. Avenge Boss!"”。
Everyone seemed to suddenly have a backbone, and the weapons in their hands were suddenly thrown at the horse and Xu Mubai. The sharp swords and sabers buzzed, emitting a cold light.
