Fifty-two, who is Mu Guiying?

On the evening of the day, all the time to wash away was washed away, and the water flow was relatively clean. Si Chi took her Yue Kiln celadon tea set and went to the foot of the mountain to draw water. She first settled for half an hour, then boiled it for everyone to drink. The teapot was small, and there were only four small cups of tea at a time, and they took turns drinking it.

Sinichi always put tea leaves when cooking tea, but she felt itchy. She had collected more than half of the famous teas from all over the world. All the soldiers praised Mr. Si's superb tea skills.

Zhou Xuan drank the tea prepared from this mud water and praised: "The old four tea is high and low, so I am not as good as it is."

Siqi looked at the still surging water in the mountain road and said, "If this water does not retreat for ten days and half a month, we cannot sit here. There are all trees on this mountain. It should not be difficult to build a wooden valve. Let's go out and find a boat to rescue the others."

Li Paijun said: "Mr. Fourth, don't worry, this water will retreat tomorrow night. In the past century, this is the third time that the Yellow River has broken and changed course. It has never become a river channel. The terrain here is high."

At night, looking up at the night sky, like blue and black velvet covered with a bright and dazzling pearl. After the heavy rain and flood, the weather was particularly beautiful, as if God felt guilty and wanted to compensate the world.

Zhou Xuan lay on the leopard skin, with her head resting on the strong and round thighs of a sheep frown, telling the story of Robinson Crusoe, the Four Idiots, Yang Zongbao and others on the ground, listening to Zhou Xuan’s overseas stories...

At noon the next day, the road at the foot of Yingzui Mountain had already emerged from the water. In the evening, the water had receded at a glance.

Yang Zongbao was impatient and said loudly: "Let's go out of the mountain overnight. This mountain road is only more than ten miles long. It's so uncomfortable to be bored on this mountain."

Zhou Xuan said: "Let's go tomorrow morning, walk on the mountain road at night, and there are bumps and water. Haste can't reach it."

Zhou Xuan and his party stayed on Yingzui Mountain for two days and three nights. They went down the mountain early on the morning of March 20th. The Ten-mile Mountain Road was indeed difficult to walk. Some places had been washed away by water. The big stones blocked the road and the muds and stones collapsed. The Ten-mile Mountain Road took more than two hours and left the mountain at noon.

Li Paijun looked at the vast open land with scattered rivers and swamps in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, saying, "I don't recognize the way anymore, the Giant Yezhe has become Giant Yezhe."

Suijiazhuang is five miles in front, and there is still three feet of water. When he met a farm farmer, he said that the people from Xizhuang were alert and fled to the nearby highlands before the flood arrived. Only a seventy-year-old woman died in the village. She was drowned by the water because she refused to leave home.

Zhou Xuan sighed and left Suijiazhuang and arrived at Juye City in the evening that day. Juye City was almost a mountain city with a very high terrain. Because Juye Lake occupied a very wide area a thousand years ago, although the flood was fierce, it did not flood under Juye City.

Yang Xiaopin's carriage was gone, and two horses were riding lost one, and the remaining one was let the driver ride, and Yang Xiaopin and Zhou Xuan rode together.

Everyone entered Juye City and saw that there were all victims everywhere. The government set up a porridge hall in the temple to help the victims. Zhou Xuan and others rested overnight at the Juye City Inn and donated fifty taels of gold to the temples that were giving porridge. The next morning, they fed the horses, brought enough water and dry food, crossed the Grand Canal in Jining, and arrived in Qufu on March 22.

The drainage effect of the Grand Canal was revealed during this flood. The west of the canal was severely affected, but the north of the canal was not affected by the flood. The disaster relief convoys and civil servants of the state prefectures crossed the canal westward to rescue disasters. The officials of the Northern Song Dynasty were quite considerate of the people.

When you arrive in Qufu, you must visit Yan Shenggong, go to the Confucius Mansion's family banquet, worship the Confucius Temple, and visit the Confucius Forest. Zhou Xuan respects Confucius, but there is no such fanatical worship.

Mount Tai is less than 200 miles north of Qufu, but Zhou Xuan was going to Fei County and the Mengyin area to visit Xiahou Liusu. He only rested in Qufu for two nights and continued to travel east. He arrived in Fei County two days later. Mengshan was east of Fei County. On that day, Lan Lianchang said that Xiahou Liusu's father Xiahou Yun hunted in Mengshan when he was young.

The magistrate of Fei County is also surnamed Zhou. He likes to write some poems. He has heard of Zhou Qicha's name for a long time. At this time, he saw with his own eyes that Yang Zongbao, the marquis of the fifth-rank capital, was accompanied by Yang Zongbao, so he naturally treated him warmly. Speaking of the hunters of the Xianbei people in Mengshan, Fei said: "Five hundred years ago, the Northern Yan occupied Hebei, and the land in western Liaoning, and a large number of Xianbei people settled here. After the demise of the Northern Yan, some Xianbei people moved westward, and some stayed. The Mengshan branch moved from Hebei. For hundreds of years, it has been a living by hunting, so as not to be discriminated against by the Han people. They took Mu as their surname, and 'Mu' is actually the homonym of Murong--"

Chen Si'an said that Xiahou Yun's original surname was Mu, and Liusu was indeed a Xianbei woman. No wonder she had such long eyelashes, straight nose bridge, and distinctive contours of her face. Mu Yun did not want to serve Tang after Qingyuan's defeat, so it was the most normal for him to return to his hometown Mengshan. Liusu naturally had to follow her father north and said, "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Zhou, I want to find the father and daughter among the Mu hunters in Mengshan. His father's name is Mu Yun and his daughter's name is Mu Liusu, but maybe he could change his other names."

The magistrate of Zhou County was stunned for a while and said, "The Duke of Zhou has no idea. This group of Xianbei people occupied the mountain and became king thirty years ago. They established a Mujia Village. There were more than 300 households and more than 1,000 strong men. They all practice martial arts, did not pay food, and paid taxes. They also robbed wealthy businessmen. In the early years, the imperial court fought everywhere and had no time to take care of the disease of tinea. Ten years ago, the state sent 2,000 troops to encircle and suppress them. However, the people of Mujia Village hid in the vast mountains and played hide-and-seek with the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers did not catch one of them, but instead lost dozens of people. They had to withdraw from Mengshan. Fortunately, they did not go out of the mountain to rob, and did not harass nearby prefectures and counties. The governor Chang did not think about clearing them out of the moment - how could Duke of Zhou know the people from the Mujia Village?"

Zhou Xuan was also stunned. His surname was Mu, and he was the king of Mujia Village. He was the king of the mountain. Just wait and see. Mu Guiying, which was mostly fictional "Romance of the Yang Family Generals", was originally the daughter of Mu Yu, the leader of Muke Village. It was not that Mujia Village, Mengshan? With Yang Zongbao, it was not unusual to have Mu Guiying, but who is Mu Guiying? He was born beautifully and martial arts and has great skills. Who else would be there besides Mu Liusu? Is Liusu changing his name? Yes, Liusu was born in August, and it is very likely that he changed his name to Guiying. Although it was a bit vulgar, it was probably changed by her father-in-law Mu Yun. Mu Yun himself changed his name to Mu Yu. Why did her father-in-law change it? I guess he didn't let me find Liusu. Mu Yun hated me for destroying Qingyuan and wanted to break up Liusu and break up me and Liusu alive. This father-in-law is rather hateful-

Seeing Zhou Xuan's face changing, he refused to answer for a long time, thinking that he had an unspeakable secret, and he couldn't help but feel amazement. Zhou Xuan, a Duke of Tang, came to the hinterland of the Northern Song Dynasty to find the bandits of the Mu family. What he wanted to do? Could it be that he wanted to recruit the people from Mujiazhai as a surprise soldier of his Tang Dynasty. Once the Song Dynasty and Tang Dynasty started a full war, the people from Mujiazhai would make trouble everywhere. That was really difficult.

Zhou Xuan noticed the alert eyes of Zhou County Magistrate Zhou. He was very smart and immediately understood Zhou County Magistrate Zhou's thoughts. He laughed and held Zhou County Magistrate Zhou's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, you and I are both surnamed Zhou in Runan. Five hundred years ago, I will not hide it from Lord Zhou. I will say bluntly-" Turning his head to Yang Zongbao and said, "Brother Yang, tell me about my purpose in Mengshan to Zhou County Magistrate Zhou."

Yang Zongbao was a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty and was a senior military officer. In the eyes of Zhou County Magistrate, what Yang Zongbao said was naturally more substantial and credible than what Zhou Xuan said.

After hearing the causes and consequences, the Zhou County Magistrate heard that Zhou Xuan was here to find his favorite concubine. He then felt relieved and smiled and said, "So that's it. Duke Zhou is indeed a love-infatuated person. If he doesn't do this, he can't say anything, and he flew over the swing in tears. "The belt is getting looser and he will not regret it, and he will become haggard for her." Such popular sayings, the subordinate must have done this for Duke Zhou Yucheng. Tomorrow, he will send someone to the mountain to Mujia Village to visit Mu Yun, Mu Liusu and his daughter."

Zhou Xuan said: "Thank you, sir, as long as you send a guide, I will go into the mountain myself."

The magistrate of Zhou County quickly dissuaded: "The Duke of the Kingdom is absolutely forbidden. The people in Mujia Village are very repulsive to outsiders. There are many traps on the mountain roads. If outsiders enter, they will be injured if they don't die. Naturally, the Duke of the Kingdom cannot go alone. However, it is not good to have too many people, and it is not good to have too many people. Moreover, the person the Duke of the Kingdom is looking for is in Mujia Village. The Duke of the Kingdom does not have to take risks easily. Wait for the officials to send reliable people who are familiar with the terrain of Mengshan and have contacts with the hunters of Mujia Village to inquire about the news. If Mu Yun and his daughter are indeed in the village, it will not be too late for the Duke of the Kingdom to send a confidant to see the Liusu girl."

When Zhou Xuan heard that Zhou County Magistrate was right, he nodded and said, "That's a blessing, but Mu Yun and his daughter may change their names. You only need to check whether there have been foreign father and daughters who have defected to Mujiazhai in the past six months."

The magistrate Zhou agreed and ordered the servants to come to Fei County's fur merchants. These fur merchants had contact with the hunters of Mujiazhai. Although Mujiazhai was not subject to the county's control, the hunted animal skins and the precious herbs they dug still had to trade with the mountains and did not completely avoid contacting the outside world.

Several fur merchants recommended a man named Wang Tuotuo into the mountain. Wang Tuotuo has been dealing with Mujiazhai for 30 years. He is over fifty years old. Although he has a hunchback, he is strong in spirit and has quick feet. The prey and herbs in Mujiazhai are usually traded in the county by him. He is simple and respected by the people of Mujiazhai.

Zhou Xuan asked Wang Tuotuo who was the leader of the Mu family village? Wang Tuotuo replied: "It's Mu Yu, I have been the leader for more than ten years."

Zhou Xuan felt relieved and thought, "It seems that I was wrong. Mu Yu has someone, so Liusu's father would not change his name to Mu Yu." He asked again, "Does Mu Yu have a woman named Mu Guiying?" When he asked this, he glanced at Yang Zongbao and said to himself, "Zong Bao's marriage is here."

Unexpectedly, Wang Tuotuo replied: "Mu Yu has only one son, named Mu Hongju, and has no daughter."
