Upon hearing this, Zhang Li's eyes turned red instantly. He opened his mouth in vain, but he couldn't say anything to comfort him. After a long time, he said, "Old fellows, it's me, Zhang Li... I'm sorry!"

"Brother Zhang, don't say that, it's all voluntary."

"Yeah, it's all our own choice!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhang, don't be sad, we are still waiting for you to lead us back to the capital to save our loved ones!"

"..." Zhang Li didn't know what to say anymore, if he had a close friend like this, what more could he ask for?He patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, "You trust Zhang Li so much, I, Zhang Li, will not let you down. Take a good rest first, and see the prince tomorrow."

"it is good."

"it is good."

"Brother Zhang, you should go to rest too, you haven't slept all night."

"it is good."

A crisis was easily resolved in the middle of the night when no one knew about it.

At this time, in the Sheriff's Mansion, Wei Jingxing, who had been in a coma for almost a day, also woke up at this time.He turned his head and looked at Mu Hexuan, who was sleeping soundly beside him, struggling to sit up, but was hit by a sudden pain in his chest, and couldn't help coughing.

Mu Hexuan woke up when he heard the movement.

"Ah Xing, you're awake! How's it going? I'll go get you some water." He said vigorously and got out of bed, went barefoot to the table and poured a glass of water, then walked back.

"Put on your shoes, ahem..."

"It's okay, the blanket on the floor is warm." Mu Hexuan helped him up, gave him two sips of water, and then helped him lean on the soft cushion.

His expression was a little abnormal, his eyes were a little dodgy, and his eyes were black and blue, obviously he hadn't slept much.

"What's going on here?"

Mu Hexuan avoided talking, forced a smile and said, "What else can I do? I'm happy. I read all the papers sent by Yuan Chengshu yesterday, and I selected ten people. I will meet them in the afternoon. Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief. .”

Just as he was talking, someone came to report that the riots in Dongliu Camp had subsided, and Zhang Li's heavy armored troops had arrived.

"It's such a good thing!" Mu Hexuan exclaimed in surprise, "Why don't we celebrate it, it just happens to cleanse the dust for the generals."

"it is good."

"I'll tell you to hold a banquet in the Linjiang Pavilion tomorrow at Youshi. You should prepare with all your heart. Let's go."

"Yes."

On the second day, there was a banquet in the pavilion, and there were staggered cups of wine.

There are two rows of tables and chairs, with civil servants on the left and military officials on the right.Chu State finally has its own decent team.Previously, Chen Fuxin's old department had also been unknowingly cleaned up, and Fu Zhu's Fu Zhu was emptied out.

Mu Hexuan never thought that it would go so smoothly. He looked at everyone off the court, and most of them were unfamiliar faces, some he had seen yesterday, and some he hadn't had time to see.

He raised his glass, "All of you present are talented people. I, Mu, will not talk about those falsehoods. From now on, the state of Chu will depend on you. Come on, my lord is not allowed to drink alcohol. I will offer you a toast on my lord's behalf."

There is actually another subtext in what he said, that is, Wei Jingxing is too strong to drink, so don't toast him.Who here is not a smart person?Now that he said so, those people who were about to make a move also pressed their minds.

"Master Mu is serious."

"Master Mu, please."

Everyone knows that although this Mu Baiyu, Mr. Mu, has no specific official position, he is the only person around the prince who can speak, which is equivalent to the status of the first counselor.Offended no one can offend him.

He wanted to toast, and everyone raised their glasses without hesitation and drank the wine in one gulp as a sign of sincerity and sincerity.Perhaps in their hearts, this Mr. Mu has unknowingly emptied the prince's power.It's no wonder they were there, after all, Wei Jingxing, the king of Chu, had always had a weak presence.

After drinking the wine, Mu Hexuan said: "You can do whatever you want." He sat down next to Wei Jingxing and asked him how he was feeling in a low voice. After hearing an affirmative answer, he helped him prepare vegetables while explaining to him about these people What talents are there and what positions are they placed in.

Wei Jingxing just listened quietly, smiling and nodding from time to time.

In the eyes of people who are not familiar with him, it is this prince who really has no temper!

But the "scary" old man who had seen him was terrified in his heart and dared not speak.

But at this time, Wei Jingxing spoke, and he said to the right, "I have heard about the actions of the generals. Father's actions really chilled the hearts of all the soldiers in the world."

He sighed, "If the uncles believe in Xingzhi, then leave the matter to Xingzhi, and they will definitely bring back all the aunts and sisters."

He held up the cup in front of him, "I'm too tired to drink, so I replace the wine with tea, and do it first as a respect."

His posture was very low this time, which on the contrary increased the goodwill of these rough guys towards him. Some people even had red eyes when they thought of their wives and daughters far away in Shangjing.

Several people hurriedly stood up and drank the wine in the cups, and then came out together, went to the center of the field, knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and shouted loudly: "I will go through fire and water to repay the king's kindness!"

"Uncles, please get up quickly." Wei Jingxing stretched out his hand to help, and gave Zhang Li a look.Zhang Li understood, he helped them up one by one, and asked them to go back to their seats.

The veteran is seated, and the host and guest enjoy themselves.

"My lord! You let Mr. Yuan bypass our official department to screen the available people. Is it against the ancestral system? These people have no serious background, how can they be used?"

It was Zhao Qin who spoke.

Because of his words, many people present blushed.

"Master Zhao, you were just a teacher next to Chen Fuxin. He saw your strength and let you take charge of the bureaucracy. Not only did you betray him, but now you are talking about a decent background. With all due respect, the most 'unscrupulous' among them Is it you?"

"you!"

"The few of us have passed the children's examination anyway, and at worst we are also born as scholars, but what about you?"

"..." This time it was Zhao Qin's turn to turn blue and purple. He was most afraid of others talking about this, and he didn't expect someone to be so bold as to make face of him in public.He cast his eyes on Mu Hexuan, the meaning was obvious, you were the one who dragged me onto the boat back then, now you can't just leave me alone.

Unexpectedly, Mu Hexuan acted as if he didn't see it.

Zhao Qin thought, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind.

"Mr. Mu! If it wasn't for me, Zhao Qin, these small tricks you did in Chu State would be so easy. Now you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? It's over! Don't forget..."

"Account books."

These light words successfully strangled Zhao Tan's throat.

"Master Zhao, Qianshou, Qianshou, do you really think they are donkey heads?"

The people present didn't know what charades they were playing, but Zhao Tan understood it immediately.Mu Hexuan is using the people to threaten himself. If the account books are exposed, no one can predict what the angry people will do.

Maybe they'd break into his house and kill his mother and baby...

He didn't dare to think about it.
