The Guangxi exhibition in the Ming Dynasty was relatively ordinary, even if Liuzhou Mansion was one of the three sharp knives that shocked the Tusi of Western Guangxi, but that does not mean that its exhibition was very good. Maping County, where the capital city of Liuzhou is located, has the greatest advantage in terms of military, because from a military point of view, it is in an excellent location, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Because the Liujiang River makes a sharp turn here, it forms a finger-shaped columnar peninsula, and Maping County, the seat of Liuzhou Prefecture, is located on this peninsula surrounded by water on three sides.

The location where this peninsula is connected to the "Big 6" is only more than three miles long, less than four miles.

Needless to say, the city must have built the city wall in this year, and the advantage of Liuzhou Mansion City lies in this, once there is something, you only need to hold the north side of the road less than four miles, and the southeast and west sides are all surrounded by water, as long as you send people to inspect in sections, you can ensure that there is no danger.

As for crossing the Liujiang River to capture the city tower, not to mention that the Yao people don't have that ability, even the Guixi Tusi can't do it. Even to put it mildly, the officers and soldiers of Guangxi probably do not have the technical conditions, so the safety of Liuzhou is guaranteed.

However, this security only means that the city is safe, but it does not mean that there are no "enemy elements" in the city.

Located in the southwest corner of Liuzhou City, there is a Buddhist temple called Xilai Temple. As the name suggests, this temple is either to commemorate the Bodhidharma Patriarch from Tianzhu, or to commemorate the West Tianzhen from Tianzhu.

However, there are a few servants who sell herbs for a living near this Xilai Temple, obviously believing in Buluotuo, but because of the word "Xilai" they are quite fond of this place, in addition to going out to collect medicine every ten days and half a month, they have been living here, and even bought a storefront as their herbal medicine shop.

The toasts and nobles of the servants were popular to wear Han clothes, while the ordinary servants were still dressed in their traditional costumes, and the owners of this herb shop were such brothers.

It was getting late, and Mo Si, the owner of the herb shop who was in a hurry, walked back from a distance.

He was dressed in a homespun robe, with a blue cloth placket, a round neck, wide sleeves, buttons woven of black cloth, trousers of the same color, wide cuffs, and barefoot. He carried a long basket on his back, which contained some daily necessities bought from the Han Chinese.

His expression looked as honest as the rest of the servants in the city, and it was only when he occasionally looked around that his eyes showed a shrewdness that ordinary servants did not have.

Mo Si approached his own herbal medicine shop, and his brother Mo Wu saw him, showed a sincere smile, and asked loudly, "Brother, have you bought the oil paper for kite ties?"

This servant also speaks Chinese, and speaks quite fluently, it seems that the servant and the Han people do have enough communication, these servants who make a living in the places where the Han people gather, except for the clothes, are almost exactly the same as the Han people.

Mo Si also replied loudly, "I bought it, I bought a few large pieces of oil paper, but the kind with paintings is too expensive, I am reluctant to buy it, just this kind of one with a little oil yellow, I think it's good to tie a kite, as long as the craftsmanship is good, the kite Ah Hua will definitely like it." ”

The people nearby glanced at their brother and smiled knowingly.

Mo Wu said loudly, "That's great, brother come in quickly, let's discuss how to tie this kite"

"Haha, you're just in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I thought all the way just now, I'll tell you"

As he spoke, the two brothers walked into the herb shop with the kind smiles of everyone around them.

Like the Miao people, the servants have their own set of herbal knowledge, although they are not as vast and complex as Chinese medicine, but they also talk about yin and yang, acupoints, and meridians, and they have their own set of characteristic bamboo pots and silver needles, which are quite distinctive.

The servant's understanding of herbal medicine is also very local, in addition to ordinary common diseases, they are also particularly good at treating miasma, Gu, poison, dampness and other diseases, and their herbal medicine shop also carries out some simple treatments by the way, the effect is quite good, and the surrounding Han people are also very friendly to the brothers.

However, as soon as the Mo Si and Mo five brothers walked into the herbal medicine shop, the honest smile on their faces that was often shown in front of people disappeared, and they were replaced by two very serious faces.

Mo Wu frowned and asked, "Fourth brother, there is a Han official in the city, and he said that he is the patrol master, do you know why he came?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm going to do, buy paper" Na Mo Si put down the back basket, picked up the cup made of bamboo tubes, and drank a large glass of water with a grunt, and then spoke again, "It is indeed here to patrol Guangxi, and it is said that this person has a very big background, it seems that he is the Wenqu star of their Han people, Jiang Xin and Ni Zhonghua are very respectful to him, so they are sent to help others." ”

Na Mo Wu was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, showing a mocking look, "Deputy Envoy Jiang is usually very arrogant, last time the second master of the Luo family in Nazhou came to Liuzhou, I heard that because the avoidance was not timely, he was ordered by this deputy envoy Jiang on the spot, and each of the four sedan chair men of the second master of the Luo family was whipped twenty whips, I heard that the second master of Luo was so angry that his face turned green. ”

"Heh, so what, if it is the eldest master of the Luo family, Jiang Xin may give some face, what does the second master care about" Mo Si waved his hand, "Let's not talk about these gossips, I just heard the news that the patrol lord who came was very pompous, and brought three hundred family members with birds, Ni Zhonghua personally went up to lead the horse for him, he didn't even look at it, but Ni Zhonghua looked proud, as if it was an honor to lead the horse for him. ”

"Three Hundred Bird Guns" Mo Wu was a little nervous and asked, "Is it the kind of bird guns that the Guangzhou soldiers took not long ago?"

"I haven't found out yet, you know I can't get closer, but from a distance, I'm afraid it's really the kind of bird gun that can't explode, and if it does, I'm afraid it will be tricky." Mo Si sighed and said.

A touch of melancholy appeared on Mo Wu's face, and he frowned and said, "With such a big official here, there should be no change in the affairs of Xincheng County, why did he come?"

Mo Si sneered and said, "The news released by the Han people at the beginning said that he was here to count his military exploits, that is, to count the heads of those Yao people. ”

"This seems to be what the patrol should do, fourth brother, what are you laughing at" Mo Wu asked in some surprise.

"I'm laughing at the fact that the Han people who are in charge think they can fool us." Seeing Mo Wusheng's puzzled look, Mo Si smiled and explained, "The old man brought those officials to his yamen, and then the family members he brought surrounded the yamen, and the guards also moved, and two lines of defense were arranged outside those family members, which were extremely tightly defended. I pretended not to understand and tried to get closer, but I was immediately chased away by the outermost guards. ”

Mo Wu was surprised and said, "That patrol master is so afraid of death"

"I'm afraid it's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that there's something big to talk about." Mo Sidao, "I guess, he is talking about the ownership of Bazhai, and his thoughts must be different from Governor Liu, otherwise he can agree to what he is doing here directly in Guilin." ”

Mo Wu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Now that the talk is over, should we contact that person?"

"I didn't finish talking when I came, but they can't talk about going in the evening, maybe they're done talking now." Mo Si said with a gloomy face, "I must contact that person, if I don't ask about this matter, it will be difficult for the master to start the rest of the matter." ”
