"Fang Jie's subordinates are just as vicious as him."
Sitting opposite Nalan Dingdong, Mu Xianjun spoke calmly. It's just this calmness, maybe it's just on the surface. Even though Mu Xianjun's mentality has changed a lot now, as long as he sees his empty sleeve, he will think of that period of the past.
"Vicious?"
Nalan Dingdong shook his head, and pushed the quilt filled with hot tea over: "I'm just a martial artist, so I can't be cruel. I'm not a Han, and I'm always scolded by you Han as a stupid pig Liao family. As for the festival between you and my lord, haven't you thought that the reason why this arm is gone is not the culprit yourself?"
Mu Xianjun was silent for a while and then sneered: "You deliberately said that I am Mu Guangling's son in front of my subordinates, so that even Qiu Qi and Chu Yuan looked at me with that kind of eyes, aren't you vicious enough? ? This has nothing to do with my arm, it's just a matter of fact."
Nalan Dingdong couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so gloomy, if it wasn't for Xiao Qingqing and Qianhu Yi Tianze who happened to save you, I wouldn't know that the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army is actually the young Lord Mu who survived the catastrophe .I led troops to rescue your men day and night, but you said I was dark, and I don’t know who is darker.”
"What are you going to do if you leave me?"
Mr. Mu Xian asked.
"It's very simple, value for money, people are worth more."
Nalan Dingdong smiled and said: "I think you know exactly what Mu Guangling has been doing these days. In order to keep his position as the leader of the Eastern Xinjiang, he has used all kinds of dirty methods. The food for my Black Banner Army starts from a month. He started to sacrifice before. If I hadn’t gone to grab it myself, my Black Banner Army has been out of food for many days now. You are his only son, the heir of the Mu family in the future, it won’t be a problem to exchange your portion for 500,000 shi of food, right? ?”
"Then what?"
Mu Xianjun sneered and asked: "Then, you will go out for a walk about Mu Guangling's order to intercept and kill the Red Eyebrow Army, and then tell the whole world that Mu Guangling made a big joke that the one he wanted to kill was his own son." In this way, even if Mu Guangling has not been ruined, how can there be any prestige at all? Your Black Banner Army can take advantage of the situation and recruit other forces to join them. In a short time, you will be able to defeat the Mu family and replace it wrong?"
Nalan Dingdong said: "If you don't tell me, I can't think so far. It's a good way to listen to you."
He glanced at Mu Xianjun: "Whether you know it or not, I have to say again the purpose of my Black Banner Army. I followed my lord's order to lead a hundred thousand troops, and came here from the southwest not far away. Fighting against foreign enemies with the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang, have you ever asked your Mu Mansion for any conditions? Have you ever asked Dongjiang for the benefit of a copper coin?"
He glanced at the sneer on Mu Xianjun's mouth with a disdainful look: "People have various ways to die, but in the current situation of the Mu family, it is Mu Guangling's own death, so what does it matter to others? Everyone is here to fight The foreigners all want to protect their homeland and the people, and they all want to prevent the country of the Han people from being destroyed by foreigners. But what did your own father do? Not long ago, he cut off the food and grass of the Luling Army, and sent people to pretend to be Qingzhou Soldiers attacked the camp of the Luling army, and almost wiped out the entire Luling army!"
"Two months ago, it was the Zhao family army that came from Jiangdu a year ago to rescue your father who was in danger from the enemy. Why was the foreigner's surprise attack successful? It was not because he trusted your father too much. You came around from behind and attacked Zhao's army, but your father didn't tell Zhao's army, and even ordered the Mufu soldiers behind Zhao's army to be mobilized to make way for foreigners... at least 40,000 good men from Zhao's army died in this way!"
"Are you telling me you're mean?"
Nalan Dingdong sneered: "You can tell that other people are vicious!"
He looked at Mu Xianjun contemptuously: "I first came to Dongjiang, and I am full of respect for your Mu Mansion. Although my lord had conflicts with your Mu Mansion when he came to the east, when foreigners invaded, your Mu Mansion immediately organized troops. Fighting, giving up the plan to march into the Central Plains, this is indeed respectable! Five thousand soldiers guarding Penglai Island, fighting hard for a month would rather die than retreat, how can such soldiers not be respected?!"
"But later, as more and more teams rushed to aid the eastern border, in order to preserve his own strength, Mu Guangling began to withdraw the Mu family soldiers on a large scale, and transferred other teams to the front line to fight against the foreigners. Do How thick-skinned it is to blame other teams for disobeying orders when something like this happens!"
"Now it's righteous and awe-inspiring to say that unrest and internal strife cannot resist foreign enemies. Your father doesn't feel blush himself, but I blush for him!"
Nalan Dingdong spat and was not polite at all: "Before I brought the troops here, my lord repeatedly told me not to have any conflicts with the Mu family. Mu Guangling has experienced many battles and wholeheartedly protects Dongjiang, so we must listen to his orders." Now it seems that my lord really overestimated your father."
Mu Xianjun opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, I'm not as vicious as you think."
Nalan Dingdong said: "I said, I just want to exchange you for food and grass. Give you back to your father, and your father and son will reunite. Then I will exchange some food. This is the best plan. I am the general of the three armies, I can't let my brothers go to war with foreigners hungry!"
"I... won't go back."
Mu Xianjun shook his head: "I won't go back!"
"Why?"
Nalan Dingdong asked.
"I'm going back, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out again. But I want to stay on the battlefield and do something for the brothers who died in pain on Penglai Island!"
He looked into Nalan Dingdong's eyes and said.
"What do you want to do? Go and tell your father to stop killing his own people, and you will do a great deed for your five thousand brothers who died. How many good men have come to Dongjiang with a determined heart In the end, you didn’t die on the battlefield where you fought fiercely with foreigners, but you died under the conspiracy of your Mu family?”
"do not talk!"
Mu Xianjun roared vigorously: "I have nothing to do with the matter of Mu's residence! If you let the red-browed army leave, I promise not to go back to Mu's residence. I will remember the kindness of saving my life today, and I will definitely repay it in the future! "
"Go."
Nalan Dingdong pointed outside: "Look at your Red Eyebrow Army, how many people still believe in you?"
…
…
"What the hell are you trying to do!"
Mu Xianjun looked into Nalan Dingdong's eyes and asked: "I have already said that I don't want to interfere with the affairs of the Mu Mansion. I just want to lead the team to kill foreigners. Is this all right?"
"OK."
Nalan Dingdong nodded: "But first, someone has to believe you. When I came back from your camp of the Red Eyebrow Army, people were already talking about you. Some people said it's no wonder you suddenly ordered the Red Eyebrow Army to go all the way. The purpose of rushing east is to get into the pockets sewn by you and your father. Some people justify you, but the words of justification are so weak."
"If you can get the Red Eyebrow Army to follow you now, I won't stop you."
Nalan Dingdong pointed to the outside: "I'm afraid no one will believe you."
"That's my business!"
Mu Xianjun said: "Yes, I concealed my identity, but I can explain it to them. This is all my business and has nothing to do with you. I want to thank you for saving my life, and I will need my help in the future You can say anything directly, but if you want to use this to threaten me or my father, I can't agree."
"No one is threatening you with anything."
Nalan Dingdong leaned back and pointed outside: "You can go."
"Can we go?"
Nalan Dingdong said: "If you walk fast, you should still have time to catch up with Mu Zihuan. I didn't find him when I led the troops to attack, and I didn't have time to search carefully at that time. If there is no accident, Mu Zihuan Huan escaped. Now that the matter has come to light, even if I don’t say anything about Mu’s residence’s interception and killing of the Red Eyebrow Army, it will soon spread throughout Eastern Xinjiang. At that time, how do you think your father will solve it?”
Mu Xianjun paused: "How to solve it?"
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood: "Kill Mu Zihuan!"
Nalan Dingdong smiled and said: "That's right, kill Mu Zihuan, and then return the matter to Mu Zihuan, saying that Mu Zihuan had a personal grudge with your red eyebrow army, so he led troops to intercept and kill him, and Your father has nothing to do, to prove his innocence, he will kill Mu Zihuan... You thought of it, I thought of it, I don't know if Mu Zihuan thought of it."
Nalan Dingdong rubbed his temples: "If Mu Zihuan didn't think of it, he would naturally go back and explain it to Mu Guangling in a hurry. If he did, there are only two ways to choose. The first is to escape without going back to Mu's mansion." , From then on, confront Mu Mansion. Second, go back to Mu Mansion, what do you do when you go back? Waiting for yourself to be killed?"
Mu Xianjun's expression kept changing, because he had already thought of the second possibility.
"I heard..."
Nalan Dingdong said slowly: "Because Mu Guangling couldn't find you, he thought you were dead, so a while ago there was news that he planned to bring Mu Zihuan's eldest son here, so people are speculating that in the future Mu Zihuan Huan's eldest son is the heir to the Mu family. If Mu Zihuan doesn't go back, his son and his family will be finished. Therefore, if Mu Zihuan is smart, he will definitely go back, and he must go back as soon as possible."
"He wants to go back as quickly as possible, before Mu Guangling knows nothing. In this way, he will have a chance to kill Mu Guangling. It doesn't matter whether it's a surprise attack, poisoning, whatever...why did he want to Kill Mu Guangling?"
he asks.
Mu Xianjun was silent for a while, the corners of his eyes twitching: "Because he wants to kill me, because he knows that my father will definitely kill him, because he knows that as long as he dies, his family will be over."
"It seems so."
Nalan Dingdong smiled, got up and left: "The gate is over there, you can leave at any time. But I want to advise you, what can you do when you go back? Kill Mu Zihuan to save your father and then you are trapped in the Mu Mansion Until your father dies? Is this what you want? You won’t be free until you become the head of the house, how sad. But you will be the head of the house after all, it’s just... sooner or later.”
After saying this, Nalan Dingdong walked out of the room.
…
…
two hours ago
Nalan Dingdong glanced at Mu Zihuan who was trapped by the tendon rope, and smiled contemptuously: "I have killed many idiots like you, but today I suddenly don't want to kill you, but want to give you a way out .Of course I don’t have bad intentions. The reason why I let you go is because it is profitable.”
"Why did you let me go?"
Mu Zihuan asked in horror.
"It's possible for your son to be the head of the Mu family, but it's impossible for you. Because after I let you go back, Mu Guangling will definitely kill you to silence the people in Eastern Xinjiang. Before he kills you, you have one chance You can do something, this opportunity is when Mu Guangling still doesn't know anything, you just need to... run a little faster than the speed of news spread."
Nalan Dingdong untied the rope tied to Mu Zihuan's body: "There are two fast horses outside, you can transfer to them, and if you are lucky, you can avoid Mu Xianjun's pursuit... After two hours, I will Let him go. You have to run faster than the speed of message transmission, and you must also run faster than Mu Xianjun, good luck... nothing else."
Nalan Dingdong smiled, so calmly.
