"Giddy up! Giddy up! "
On the brand-new brick road in the northwest, the huge caravan of the Firearms Supervisor was moving quickly. With the help of Su Dingfang, the Firearms Supervisor had changed horses in batches. Since there were many carriages and no shortage of war horses, the entire caravan was moving toward Chang 'an City at an extremely fast speed.
"The Firearms Supervisor has returned!" The people of the Tang Dynasty could not help but exclaim when they saw the caravan of the Firearms Supervisor. Everywhere they went, they were greeted with admiring gazes as they stared at this legendary army.
"Breaking the city in one strike!"
"One thousand against five thousand!"
"Eight hundred li pursuit across the vast ocean!"
The legendary experience of the Firearms Supervisor was a hot topic for the people of the Tang Dynasty. More people stared at the tightly sealed carriage of the Firearms Supervisor, where the most powerful weapon of the Tang Dynasty was hidden — gunpowder.
The entire Firearms Division exuded a mysterious and valiant aura. Although any commoner who dared to approach the Firearms Division would be scrutinized by the Firearms Division's soldiers, no one felt any disgust. On the contrary, they felt a sense of pride. This was the invincible army of the Great Tang.
The Firearms Supervisor was extremely fast and soon disappeared at the end of the brick road, leaving behind only the sounds of discussion.
However, not long after the Firearms Supervisor's caravan left, another huge caravan of Hu people quietly stepped onto the brick road. Everyone could not help but be surprised and ask around.
"Tubo Envoy!"
After asking around, the crowd could not help but be in an uproar. They did not expect this caravan to be the other protagonist of the Gobi Desert ambush, Tubo. And the one leading the caravan was the Tubo general who ambushed Mo Jiazi, Lu Dongzan, father of Lun Trinling.
When Lu Dongzan stepped onto the flat brick road, his face darkened. He had not been to the Tang Dynasty for many years, but the Tang Dynasty was changing rapidly. It turned out that only the surroundings of Chang 'an City had been paved with brick roads, but far away in the northwest, there were also straight and flat brick roads.
With Lu Dongzan's insight, he could naturally see the benefits of brick roads. The moment the Tubo Envoy's caravan stepped onto the brick road, they could clearly feel their speed increase, and all these changes were the work of Mo Jiazi.
His previous judgment was not wrong. Mo Jiazi was indeed Tubo's greatest enemy. His decision to ambush Mo Jiazi was correct, but unfortunately, Tubo failed, and now Tubo had to bear this bitter fruit.
"Bah! Tubo ambushed Mo's caravan. Tubo's caravan.
"My son is dead, so this old man has personally stepped in!" another Tang citizen angrily rebuked.
"The father must pay the son's debt. This time, Lu Dongzan must pay with his life for the soldiers of the Firearms Supervisor." A butcher roared with a butcher knife.
Lu Dongzan wiped away the spittle on his face and said expressionlessly, "We are here to appease the anger of the Great Tang, not to cause trouble." Lu Dongzan said, "We are here to appease the anger of the Great Tang, not to cause trouble."
The accompanying official of Honglu Temple watched all this coldly. When the crowd became agitated, he stopped them and said, "Tubo's envoys can only be dealt with by the imperial court. We will follow the imperial court's orders."
"His Majesty will not let you off easily!" Hearing the official's words, the crowd gave up and sneered.
"Great Minister!" Tubo's envoys looked at Lu Dongzan worriedly when they heard the Tang Dynasty people's words.
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Even when two armies are at war, they will not kill the envoys. Besides, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have not fought yet. The Heaven Khan may not kill me."
Tubo's envoys could not help but look worried. The Heaven Khan may not kill Lu Dongzan, but Mo Jiazi may not let him go.
Lu Dongzan did not deny it. His eyes were firm. No matter what, neither he nor Tubo could retreat from this trip to the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he may have friends in Chang 'an.
Almost at the same time, the two caravans, one in front and one behind, went straight to Chang 'an.
Outside the eastern gate of Chang 'an, a horse galloped in, instantly attracting the attention of passers-by. But the one who really caught the attention of passers-by was the owner of the horse. It was a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Her red lips and valiant appearance, coupled with the galloping of the horse, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Stop!"
The horse stopped in front of the Mo Family's caravan. The young girl's body was strong and strong, and she jumped off the horse.
"Eldest Senior Sister, Young Master has returned." One of Mo Jiazi's younger brothers hurried forward to hold the reins of the horse and said with joy. He wanted to pass the good news to the young girl as soon as possible.
The people around could not help but realize that this person was the famous Eldest Senior Sister of the Mo Family, Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang said proudly, "What's the fuss about? Nothing in the world can stop Master. It's just the Immensity Sea."
In Wu Meiniang's heart, Master was a wise and omnipotent person. Not to mention that this time Meton took the initiative to pursue and attack. She had always believed that Meton would definitely return safely.
However, Wu Meiniang said it casually. When she heard the news of Meton's return, she immediately rushed back to Chang 'an.
"Eldest Senior Sister is wise!" Mo Jiazi's younger brother did not expose Wu Meiniang. He casually complimented, "I have already prepared a carriage. Eldest Senior Sister, please get on."
Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "A carriage is too slow. Prepare a fast horse for me."
Wu Meiniang was very prestigious among Mo Jiazi's younger brothers. Soon, a fast horse arrived in front of Wu Meiniang.
"Go!"
Wu Meiniang flew onto the horse and immediately headed for Chang 'an. Wu Meiniang was eager to return home. In addition, there were not many people on the street. Wu Meiniang's horse could not help but speed up a lot.
Suddenly, a little boy suddenly appeared at a junction. Wu Meiniang was shocked and quickly reined in the horse. However, the horse was too fast to stop. Just as it was about to collide with the boy, a young man in a green robe suddenly flew forward and pulled the little boy aside, thus avoiding a disaster.
"Phew!" Wu Meiniang could not help but feel relieved. She quickly stopped the horse and checked the situation.
"According to the laws of the Tang dynasty, except for the courier station, anyone who rides a horse without any reason in Chang 'an will be fined for a light case and imprisoned for ten days. If an accident occurs, the punishment will be doubled. Miss, do you know your crime … "The young man in a green robe pretended to be dignified and said.
"Know my crime?" Wu Meiniang's body suddenly stiffened. She looked at the young man in a green robe in disbelief. He was just riding a horse, but he was treated as a criminal.
"Yes, if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner, not to mention under the emperor's feet. Miss, you rode a horse in the street and almost accidentally hurt someone. Isn't this a crime on top of a crime?" The young man in a green robe did not give up.
Wu Meiniang was so angry that she laughed. She shouted coldly, "You really are a bookworm. I could have leaped over the horse. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, how could the horse have been startled? The so-called 'almost accidentally injuring people' was all because of you."
The little boy was not tall, so the horse could jump over him. Wu Meiniang's riding skill was excellent, so she was very confident. However, the young man in a green robe suddenly appeared and frightened the horse, which almost caused an accident.
The young man in a green robe could not help but frown and said, "Miss, you are inverting black and white. You can't distinguish right from wrong and defy the law."
Wu Meiniang retorted, "Let's not talk about how I didn't cause an accident. Even if I did cause an accident, there is a saying that if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate."
Wu Meiniang said and took out a one tael banknote. She handed it to the boy's mother who was holding the boy tightly in her arms and said, "Go to Mo Hospital for a check-up and see if there is anything wrong with him."
A one tael banknote was very expensive. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the little boy was not injured. The little boy's mother took the banknote and left with thanks.
"Using money to atone for a crime, the law is unfair!" The young man in a green robe said angrily.
Wu Meiniang slightly raised her chin and said proudly, "Bookworm, the law of the Tang dynasty is not interpreted like this. This is the result of everyone's satisfaction. Although I am the one who suffered a loss, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I won't argue with you. If I see you next time, you will be in trouble. "
Wu Meiniang snorted and rode away again. However, this time, Wu Meiniang did not let the horse go at full speed. Instead, she controlled the speed appropriately and slowed down at the intersection.
"Young man, this woman is either rich or noble. If you provoke her, you will be in trouble." The surrounding people suddenly looked as if they were watching a good show and joked. In Jianghu, the people who should not provoke the most were the old, women, and children. Wu Meiniang, a young girl, was riding a horse on the street. How could she be an ordinary woman?
"So what if she is a woman? Xiaoyuan, what do you think? "The young man in a green robe was not afraid at all. Instead, he asked the attendant beside him.
The attendant, Xiaoyuan, could not help but click his tongue and said, "Young … Young Master, there must be something wrong with this woman. We'd better go back to the mansion quickly."
The young man in a green robe snorted and said, "Riding a horse on the street, wearing a black robe and riding a carriage of the Mo family. In addition to her age and extraordinary speech, this woman must be the famous Eldest Senior Sister of the Mo family in Chang 'an City."
The attendant, Xiaoyuan, obviously had heard of the name of the Eldest Senior Sister of the Mo family. He was shocked and said, "Eldest Senior Sister of the Mo family, Young Master, what should we do?"
The young man in a green robe said proudly, "What are you afraid of? I have the protection of the law of the Tang dynasty. How can I be afraid of her?"
Xiaoyuan looked at the Young Master who was in a hurry and could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He said, "Then why are you in such a hurry?"
The young man in a green robe said without blushing or skipping a beat, "I admire Merton's character and am afraid that Merton will make things difficult for him. I am not afraid of Wu Meiniang."
The attendant, Xiaoyuan, naturally knew his Young Master's nature. He could not help but sigh. The two were in a hurry, turning left and right. After confirming that no one was following them, they turned into a mansion.
"Di Mansion!"
"Renjie!" Suddenly, a low voice rang out, freezing the master and servant duo. Di Residence, named Ren Jie. Wu Meiniang didn't expect that the young man who meddled in other people's business was actually the famous Di Renjie of the future.
Di Renjie suddenly froze and hurriedly turned to salute the person who came. He said, "Greetings, Father!"
Di Zhixun glanced at Di Renjie and frowned. He said, "I was just about to send someone to find you. I know that you have always liked the law, so I asked someone to find you a famous teacher. As long as you can get the favor of this person, you will certainly be able to learn something."
"A famous teacher?" Di Renjie's eyes suddenly lit up.
Di Zhixun nodded. "Yes, this is a real legalist. He is the former law professor, Han Zheng. He is in charge of the Law Paper and has redressed countless cases. If you learn the law from him, it will be the Di family's honor."
"Han Fuzi?" Di Renjie could not help but feel happy. As a fan of legalism, how could he not know the name of Han Fuzi, who was in charge of the Law Paper. He had even practiced the law of making ink in the Mo Family Village, which was very effective and eye-catching.
"Oh no!"
Suddenly, Di Renjie's face changed. Han Zheng had a close relationship with the Mo Family Village, and he had just offended the Eldest Senior Sister of the Mo Family Village. If he became Han Zheng's disciple, he would have to stay in the Mo Family Village all year round. Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?
"What? You don't want to?" Di Zhixun frowned.
It was a rare opportunity to be Han Fuzi's disciple. Di Renjie naturally did not want to miss it. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I do."
Di Renjie snorted in his heart. "I am protected by the law of the Tang dynasty. I am not afraid of Wu Meiniang. "
