Zhang Mao sat on the dragon chaise and looked down at Xiao Yan kneeling below and remained silent.

He regretted it in his heart, very regretful.

Prince Gan Libu of Wugu tribe stayed in the capital for a month or two and wanted to negotiate with the Great Chu State to attack the Qingbai Dynasty from north to south, but he did not summon Prince Gan Libu at all.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Mao did not admit that Gan Libu was at all. In this regard, like Murong Yanxi, the emperor of the Qingbai Dynasty, he looked down on the barbarians living in the forest with disheveled hair in the Wugu tribe.

Therefore, Zhang Mao did not take the negotiations between Wugu tribe to heart.

But now it is different. One after another, the news came from the north. The Wugu tribe first defeated the Qingbai Dynasty's army at Yanhe. Then he defeated the 200,000 army led by the Qingbai Dynasty emperor Murong Yanxi in Shenglong Mansion.

I heard that there were only 20,000 people in the Black Bone at that time. I didn’t expect that the Black Bone would be so powerful!

"I am going to send you to negotiate with the Wuguren." Zhang Mao said carefully.

Xiao Yan trembled all over. The Qingbai Dynasty was in the north. His Majesty wanted him to take a boat to the extreme north.

"Talk with them. The land of the Qingbai Dynasty in the Northern Dynasties belongs to their Wugu tribe, and the land of the Southern Dynasties belongs to us." Zhang Mao said.

"Your Majesty is planning to send troops?" Xiao Yan asked.

As far as he knew, the court showed no sign of rectifying its troops. Even if it wanted to send troops, it would not be possible to make a move in a short while.

Xiao Yan's question made it difficult for Zhang Mao to answer. In fact, he had no confidence in the army heading north to defeat the Qingbai Dynasty.

It is best if the Wugu tribe works, and the Great Chu State can enjoy its success. But Zhang Mao cannot say such words.

"From now on, we will be ready when you come back from the north." Zhang Mao said.

"If I can collect my hometown south of Yuguan, I am willing to transfer the annual tribute to the Qingbai Dynasty to the Wugu people every year." Zhang Mao said at last gritted his teeth.

It was very difficult for Currijin to go north all the way. Many robbers suddenly appeared always wandering around their group.

If Currizin and four or five followers had not been fully equipped with weapons and strong war horses, the robbers would have attacked them long ago.

The prefectures and counties passing by Kurijin, all the officials and runners in the yamen were huddled in the county town, and no one dared to go out to urge rent and taxes. No one dared to go out to suppress public security.

It seemed as if I knew the deadline was approaching, and no one dared to force himself.

The news I heard along the way was also very confusing.

Some people say that Emperor Murong Yanxi is still chasing the rebels implicated by King Murong Chun of Wei. Some people say that His Majesty the Emperor is summoning people to fight to the death with the Wuguren.

But when Currijin was about to arrive in Nanjing, he learned the accurate news. Emperor Murong Yanxi actually took the five thousand Zhenwu Army to Laoqingshan for hunting!

It’s this time, Your Majesty actually went hunting!

Is this the legendary image of the fallen country? Currijin sighed secretly.

It seems that the wife is far-sighted. Murong Yanxi is no longer reliable. She can only hope that General Murong Xingshi will come out to turn the tide.

Currijin decided to go to Yanshan first to meet the young master Changshou and Shi Zailiang.

Not long after leaving, Currizin suddenly jumped off the horse.

He squatted down and looked at the road carefully. There were several newly pressed ruts and hoof prints of donkeys and mules on the road.

It seems that people often walk this road during this period.

A group of four or five people just entered the mountain and heard a loud shout: "Stop!"

The leader came out with his hands pressing his waist knife and holding his head upright. It was Mapi Ma's Captain!

This time, Captain Ma did not come out alone. He was surrounded by two young men holding wooden sticks.

"Where did you come from? What do you want to do when you enter the mountain?" Mapi asked.

"Your Master Changshou and Mr. Shi are old acquaintances. I want to see them this time because I have something to do." Currijin said with a smile.

Finally, I have a subordinate, and Mapi feels much better now.

He looked at the people in front of him vigilantly. These people did not look like Han people.

Mapi pointed at a young man and said, "You go back and report it. Go and go back quickly, let's watch here."

The young man nodded and ran away, quickly disappeared into the woods.

"It seems that you are very prosperous here recently. It doesn't look like there are only a few hundred people." Currizin said with a smile.

"Why do you say this? Are you a secret spy from the court?" Mapi said angrily, but she still showed a proud look inadvertently.

"How is the old donkey of Master Changshou? Is it still walking so slowly?" Currijin asked with a smile.

This sentence made Mapi and the young people around him couldn't help laughing.

Mapi immediately raised her face and shouted: "The mount of Master Changshou is a magical object! It is also something you just care about!"

Currizin just wanted to ease the atmosphere. He didn't say anything more when he saw that his purpose had been achieved.

"Since Brother Ku is thinking about my donkey, I will let you take it away this time. But I have to keep your horse." The sound of Changshou's speech came from behind the bushes.

"Come so soon?" Currizin was surprised when he heard Changshou's speech.

The figure of Changshou and the young man who reported the news finally appeared in front of them.

"I'm working in front of me, so I'm naturally coming soon. I'll take Brother Ku to see our fort." Changshou said with a smile.

Mapi hurriedly bowed when she saw Changshou.

"Didn't I say I won't use this set?" Changshou said.

"Mr. Shi said again and again that this must be done, otherwise military law will be carried out!" Mapi explained with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll take them into the mountain. You three should stay here." Changshou said.

"There are a lot more people in the mountains? I saw that the ruts on the road were all new." Currigin asked as he walked.

"Another two hundred households have come. No matter how many people we can't afford." Changshou replied. He did not hide anything from Currijin.

"This place is so close to Nanjing Prefecture, what if the court sends troops to encircle and suppress it?" Currigin asked.

"Murong Youmari was defeated and returned with two thousand people. How many people would the court send this time?" Changshou asked back.

Yes, resisting the southward movement of the Wugu people is now the key. Almost all available troops have been transferred away. It is difficult to mobilize more than 2,000 people near Nanjing Prefecture.

Besides, His Majesty the Emperor went to Laoqing Mountain to hunt, and it seems that His Majesty did not take this matter to heart.

When Currizin looked up again, he saw a high pass between the two mountains blocking the way.

Hundreds of people were placing stones to the pass.

Except for the stone arch which is three meters wide and three or four meters wide, this stone pass blocked the road as tightly as a wall.

Currijin walked up and looked over and over again and said, "This stone wall is three or four meters wide and four meters high. It's really a man who can pass by ten thousand men."
