morning
Mu San stretched and sat up from the bed, went to the window and opened it to look out. The city wall of Chang'an City can be seen in the distance, standing there like a mountain at a glance, as if it has been as long as 10,000 years. It happened that a very white and thick cloud floated over from the outside of the city wall, as if a giant was looking in from the side of the city wall.
After waking up, Mu San felt that today will be a good day from now on.
"It's time to do something."
He said.
There was a very out-of-tuned swing in the yard, and a man who seemed to be quite old was sitting on the swing, swinging leisurely there. It was the creaking sound of the swing that woke Mu San up. Mu San didn't feel unhappy, but was a little grateful to this guy for waking up earlier so that he could enjoy this beautiful day more.
"Yeah... I didn't start doing things until today."
Mu San asked: "Why did you build a swing in the yard?"
The man floated and replied: "My family was very poor when I was young, and I don't remember playing like other children since I was very young. In other people's families, six or seven-year-old children will still ask their mothers to act like a baby. I have already I work in the field with my parents. The neighbor has a child who is as old as me, and he lives carefree every day. It may be that the two families have different attitudes towards life, and his family is not rich, but his Parents never deprive their children of playing time."
"There is a swing in that yard, which was made by the child's father in his spare time. Every day when she comes back from school, she sits on the swing and reads a book. Her reading voice is very pleasant. Often at this time, I just When I came back from the fields, I had to carry firewood to boil water. When I had a little free time, I would lie on the wall and watch her read, envious of her parents who would rather suffer more than let their children walk a different path. In the eyes of my parents Here, I can go to work when I can lift an empty barrel."
Mu San was stunned for a moment: "So you are now making up for your childhood shortcomings?"
"No."
The man named Yi Chong shook his head: "I'm just trying to see if the swing is strong or not, because my mother-in-law likes to play on swings. She likes to play on swings since she was a child, and she never gets tired of it. But you know, her current weight is heavy. It's a bit worrying... "
Mu San was stunned for a moment, then pointed to Yi Chong: "Could it be that your wife is..."
"Yes."
Yi Chong jumped off the swing, smiling proudly: "That's her, the kid next door to my house who is studying. Back then I always made faces at her, and she always called me an idiot."
Mu San gave Yi Chong a thumbs up, expressing his admiration from the bottom of his heart.
Yi Chong walked over and said, "Men, they should have great ideals since they were young."
Mu San asked: "Then you have realized your dream, why do you still have to fight?"
Yi Chong said: "In the past, she followed me to live the life of marrying a chicken and following a chicken, and marrying a dog following a dog. She thought it was normal. I will let her live a good life in the future. How good is it? No matter how good it is, it is not the best." good."
Mu San suddenly felt a little regretful.
He won't have this kind of feeling.
…
…
This time, Mu San was going to visit a person whose status in Chang'an City was not considered very high, and the reason why he was chosen was precisely because his status was not very high. But this man was a dog kept by some big shots in Chang'an City, and many times he had to deal with the vicious dog before he could enter the owner's house.
Mu San changed into a brand-new brocade suit, and Yi Chong behind him changed into a suit that used to be able to run amok in Chang'an City... the Flying Fish Robe. He was originally a member of Ouchi's bodyguard office, but he was not a person on the surface. He had this suit a long time ago, and he had no chance to pass it on.
Now people from outside can't enter Chang'an City casually, so the robes of Xiaoqi School haven't been delivered yet. The purpose of Yi Chong changing into this suit is to tell everyone that he is about to start a new life.
Not only him, but all the dark guards under him also put on flying fish robes, and they were all in high spirits. Mu San and Yi Chong walked shoulder to shoulder at the front, followed by twenty-four flying fish robes. This battle was definitely not a big one, but walking on the street was like an earthquake.
Even ordinary people, seeing the reappearance of the Feiyu robe, know that it is of great significance.
The person who is going to visit this time is Yang Chongwu, the minister of the Ministry of War. Although his surname is Yang, he has no relationship with Yang as a royal family. His title of Minister of the Ministry of War was given by the young emperor Yang Chengqian when he was in power, but he has no gratitude to the little emperor. Because the little emperor took the throne not long after Yang Jian took the throne, Yang Chongwu's speed of loyalty to Yang Jian has always been embarrassing. However, this is of course not just his personal reasons.
At that time, General Tiejia was in power, and many people in Chang'an City wanted to go over, but one of them was because they didn't know General Tiejia's attitude, so they didn't dare to go there rashly. The second is because after all, he is still an official in the Yang family's court, and it would be bad for his reputation to rely on the past too early. So these people need a representative to go to the Iron Armored General to find out the situation.
Yang Chongwu is this person.
So this person's life in Chang'an City has been pretty good. He is the spokesperson of many people, so he has the most contact with Wei Mu. He was the one who sent messages between those big shots and Wei Mu. Of course these big shots wanted to kill Wei Mu, but they would have two plans before Wei Mu died.
The servant at the door who greeted the guests naturally recognized Mu San, after all Mu San is now the hottest one in Chang'an City. Seeing Mu San coming with a team of flying fish robes, the young servant who had already turned into a human spirit immediately winked at his companion, and then came over with a smile on his face.
"Master Mu."
The servant bowed his head and said hello: "Little man, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that a big star fell in the mansion. This morning, the nobleman came. It really came true."
Mu San smiled and said, "A falling star is a sign of death."
The boy's expression changed, and he quickly changed the subject.
"Is Yang Chongwu here?"
Mu San asked.
Calling him by name like this made the boy feel uncomfortable, even if it was rumored that the little emperor was dead, and the Iron Armored General was also rumored to be dead, but his lord was still the servant of the Ministry of War after all, and he was actually a third-rank official. And this Mu San was rumored to be just an eunuch who escaped from the palace, so he was not used to naming him by name like this. But because of this, the boy's heart tightened, as if it really wasn't a good omen.
"My lord is not in the mansion, I went to court early in the morning."
The boy answered with a smile.
"oh."
Mu San snorted: "Then I'll go into the mansion and wait for him to come back."
The boy was about to stop him when he was kicked away by a flying fish robe behind him: "Don't you open your eyes yet?!"
The little servant was so frightened that he wanted to shout, but in the end he held back forcefully.
The fierce look on the faces of the team of flying fish robes reminded him of the scenery of the Ouchi Guard Office in Chang'an City.
…
…
Before noon, Mu San brought a team of flying fish robes into the house of Yang Chongwu, the servant of the Ministry of War, pulled him out of the bed, and then chopped off his head in the yard. The news spread throughout the officialdom, and the masters behind Yang Chongwu Their faces changed, and they left the house in a hurry. At this moment, they couldn't figure out what Mu San meant, so they had to discuss it.
These people chose a place called Fengmingxuan, which is one of the best restaurants in Chang'an City. In the past few years of being trapped, Fengmingxuan is still operating as usual because of the care of these big shots. In fact, the master behind Feng Mingxuan is Na Yan Pei Yuanshu who is currently in the imperial court.
The Pei family has always been one of the most powerful families in the Sui Dynasty. Even after Emperor Tianyou of the Sui Dynasty Yang Yi executed the servant of Huangmen Pei Yan, the Pei family was not injured. Yang Yi could kill Pei Yan, but he couldn't uproot the entire Pei family at that time. He couldn't shake Yang Chengqian's throne too much. Killing Pei Yan was just to beat the Pei family.
Besides, even if all the people named Pei in Chang'an were killed, the Pei family would not fall down.
Although the name of Pei Yuanshu's Nayan is not right and wrong, but his status is there, and a large number of people in Chang'an City are watching his face and acting.
Fengmingxuan 2nd Floor
Pei Yuanshu's face was as dark as charcoal, and he pulled Yang Chongwu up with one hand. Although he was not the only one behind Yang Chongwu, to him he was really his dog. Now that Mu San moved Yang Chongwu, it was obvious that he wanted to scare the chickens and monkeys, and the biggest monkey must be him.
"Could this be the meaning of the Duke of the Township Outside the City?"
One person frowned and said: "It is imperative for Lord Zhen Guo to enter Chang'an. Before he comes in, he must show his prestige to us. So we have to choose someone who has some status but is not very important. If you beat us, it won't make us too uncomfortable."
"That should be it."
Another person said: "When the man in iron armor took power, he killed more than one person. Of these people who have the opportunity to take power, which one is not like this?"
"I always think it's not that simple."
Pei Yuanshu shook his head: "If it's what you guessed, then it's nothing, but the death of Yang Chongwu has no effect on us. But if it's testing our reaction, what if someone dies next?"
"The worst thing is!"
A person sitting below gritted his teeth and said: "A little eunuch who came out of the palace dared to lead someone to kill a court official! Such a thing is simply unheard of, but we can't send someone to kill him yet." , I’m really unhappy with this tone of lamentation.”
"The gathering is so complete, it seems that Yang Chongwu really didn't kill in vain."
At this moment, the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside, and Mu San stood at the door with a smile on his face, looking at these big men. Behind Mu San, the cold-faced Luo Weiran was like a god of death. Outside the door, the guards fell all over, without even making a sound.
Mu San smiled and walked into the room, and sat down on the empty seat: "Let me just say, it's too troublesome to find you adults next to each other, and it's not easy for you to get together to have a talk. If you kill Yang Chongwu, everyone will get together. As expected... Now that the adults are here, let's talk about proof."
At this moment, Mu San was smiling like a fox who had become a master.
Pei Yuanshu glanced at Mu San and then at Luo Weiran. The hand he stretched out to point at Mu San to reprimand him fell down slumped, so powerless. It turned out that Mu San's killing of Yang Chongwu was not to test anything at all, nor was it to establish his prestige. The target was actually these people.
And this old man who has been up and down for many years, was actually played by a low-level eunuch.
Playing so strongly and thoroughly, I have no resistance at all.
Mu San's fingers tapped on the table rhythmically: "Now I have to introduce myself formally. Hello everyone, my name is Mu San... I'm a soldier of Lord Zhen Guo, and I want to have an attitude with you."
