Dongding City is more than three hundred miles away from the sea, and most of the wealthy households in the city have residences in those cities. It is said that Mu Mansion has a large house on Wangjiao Mountain, the most beautiful scenery in the East China Sea. . But in Dongding City, this real Mu Mansion is not magnificent.
It was almost noon when the team entered the city, which coincided with the market, and it was the bustling time, but the people who opened the way in the Mu Mansion did not drive away the crowd, but changed to another street. The practice has also become a habit. Sitting in the carriage, Fang Jie opened the curtain and couldn't help smiling while watching the people passing by outside.
"why are you laughing?"
Mo Ningzhi, who was lazily leaning on the carriage, asked, at the moment when she held Fang Jie's arm thirty miles away, the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit awkward, Mo Ningzhi was better, but Fang Jie seemed a little uncomfortable nature. Many people have said that Fang Jie is smart, but Fang Jie is a bit stupid when it comes to guessing women's minds.
"nothing."
Fang Jie looked out of the window and said softly: "Whether it's true or not, many of Mu's actions have made the people feel comfortable. If the Mu's raises an army, the people will probably respond immediately. With Mu Guangling's appeal, when the time comes It is not difficult to pull up a team of hundreds of thousands of people in an instant."
"Then you still laugh?"
Mo Ningzhi was a little puzzled by Fang Jie's thoughts.
"Are you still crying?"
Fang Jie shook his head: "I have to say that Mu Guangling is a successful person. He is so powerful in the Mu Mansion, even with God Bless Emperor Yang Yi as the emperor, he didn't even attack him. It can be seen that this person is absolutely deceitful. He is a good hand, he deceived the emperor at the top, and the people at the bottom."
"Those who cheated will eventually fall to the bottom."
Mo Ningzhi said lightly.
"how come… "
Fang Jie said slowly: "If Mu Guangling succeeds in the end, it's not a lie. Maybe the people will really get benefits, whether it's a real gentleman or a hypocrite. In order to maintain their image, the people must have actually gained a lot. Good point. When Mu Guangling is really sitting on that chair, who will say he is a liar?"
"If you cheat the world, you are also a hero."
Mo Ningzhi smiled: "You seem to appreciate this person quite a bit?"
"It's important."
Fang Jie put down the curtains of the car, and took a look at Mo Ningzhi: "If one person can fool one person, it can only be said that he is cunning. If one person can fool ten people, it shows that he is smart. If one person can fool the whole of Dongjiang, then this person He is a hero. He sees it more clearly than many people. If you want to achieve great success, you must finally rely on the support of the people."
"You think so too."
Foamy fat road.
Fang Jie nodded: "Because this is the truth, the eternal truth."
"I'm not interested in these, I'm more interested in what the Mu Mansion has prepared for you."
Mo Ningzhi said with a smile.
"It's hospitality."
The carriage stopped slowly, and when Fang Jie was about to straighten his clothes, Mo Ningzhi moved over and raised her slender hands to gently smooth out his clothes. Those hands were so gentle, they did not look like Holding a hand that can split the rivers and lakes.
"Even if it's pretending, can't you pretend to be a little bit like it?"
She said something resentful.
Fang Jie was startled, then grabbed Mo Ningzhi's hand, and the two of them got out of the carriage together, keeping their hands together. According to Tai Sui's etiquette, this seemed extremely rude, but the two of them didn't seem to care at all. The main entrance of Mu Mansion has been opened, and two rows of young men in green clothes and soap boots stand at the door to welcome them. Mu Guangling, who was also wearing the unicorn robe of the first-class Duke, stood at the door with a smile. The moment he saw Fang Jie, his smile became more cordial, as if seeing an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.
…
…
Before Qingya left Mu's mansion, she specially asked Baimei to have a drink. The two of them went to Juxing Building early, ordered some food and drink, and sat by the window looking outside. The Mu Mansion is located on this street, and the two of them can clearly see the gate of the Mu Mansion from their positions.
The three thousand diners in the Mu Mansion had already set off, but Qing Ya didn't seem in a hurry.
"When the four of us senior brothers left the mountain gate to seek refuge in the Mu Mansion, the eldest brother and the second brother thought that the Mu Mansion would soon rise up to fight for world hegemony, but they didn't expect that the first class would last for seven or eight years. But I admire the elder brother's vision. It is determined that the Mu residence will not live in a corner with peace of mind."
"Smart people die early."
Bai Mei snorted coldly.
"That's right... Eldest brother is not tolerated by the Mu family because he is too smart."
Qingya sighed: "Senior brother, tell me, will we wait until that day? If that day comes, and Mu Guangling sits on the throne, what will our brothers get? Marquis and general? Are there other things? ?”
Bai Mei was stunned for a moment by these words, and then he shook his head: "What else? Even if it is a marquis worship, how many people can finally succeed? For these four words, how many people are willing to risk their lives? Isn't what you and I are doing now just for these four words?"
He watched the team stop at the entrance of the Mu Mansion, and watched the young man in the unicorn robe walk into the Mu Mansion personally greeted by Mu Guangling: "It's like him, with status, we can be like that person." , going in and out are all lofty pavilions, and there are no white people... Isn't this goal enough?"
Qingya nodded: "I'm just feeling a little bit emotional, the four of us went down the mountain, the eldest brother died, the second brother went to serve in the frontier army, and you and I stayed in the Mu Mansion... There haven't been any major disasters in these years, so I feel at ease, But once the Mu family raises troops, I'm afraid you and I won't have a peaceful life. It's like today, you're going to the riverside to intercept Fang Jie's woman, and I'm going to Shanhaiguan to kill He Dingfang's family... "
Bai Mei was startled: "Why are you talking so much today?!"
"Because I'm afraid."
Qingya shook his head: "He Dingfang is Mu Guangling's old subordinate, but just because he is guarding Shanhaiguan, Mu Guangling will not let him or even his family members go. The blood debt will be counted on my head sooner or later."
"Are you worried... Mu Guangling will kill you in the future?"
Bai Mei's complexion changed.
"Won't?"
Qingya smiled wryly: "When the Mu Mansion wanted to expand its strength to Muping City, the sheriff of Muping City was a die-hard iron plate, and he was foolishly loyal to the court of the Sui Dynasty. The elder brother guessed what Mu Guangling was thinking, so he went to He went to Mu Ping and killed the whole family of the county guard. Mu Guangling took the opportunity to take Mu Ping into his pocket. The eldest brother thought he would be reused by Mu Guangling, but he was poisoned to death by Mu Guangling when he turned around... Mu Guangling is a real gentleman Ah, how could he allow the nasty things he did secretly to be known?"
"Kill the governor of Muping, and Mu Guangling got rid of the elder brother. I'm going to kill He Dingfang... Hehe, I don't even know whether I should go or not."
"you… "
Bai Mei was silent for a while and then sighed: "You go, I won't tell the truth."
"Thank you third brother, but I won't go, I will go to Shanhaiguan."
Qing Ya got up and clasped his fists together: "I wish Third Senior Brother every success, those women are not easy to deal with, you have to be careful."
"You obviously don't want to go, why do you want to go?"
Bai Mei asked.
Qing Ya grinned, showing his green teeth: "Did you just say, how many people are willing to risk their lives for the four words of being a Marquis and a General?"
…
…
When Baimei left Dongding City, she was still in a sad mood. Maybe it's because Qingya's words touched his mind, maybe it's because he remembered the death of the elder brother. At the beginning... In order to test him, Mu Guangling deliberately told him that he was going to kill his elder brother, but he didn't tell the elder brother in the end.
He felt a little strange, he had always thought that in order to achieve prosperity, he could kill anyone but himself, but today, for some reason, he regretted not telling the elder brother.
He laughed at himself and said, "What are you thinking about? Even if you told him back then, you could save him? I'm afraid you can't save him, so you still have to get involved. What's wrong with me? Could it be that you have to put him away for the sake of some kindred spirit? Losing my own life? What's wrong with me?"
He muttered to himself, then shook his head heavily.
Stop thinking about it.
It was a good time when the wind was sunny, the sky was high and the clouds were calm. After leaving the city gate, Baimei turned his head to look at the Dongding City. In order not to cause trouble, his subordinates left the city in batches, and they should all be waiting for him in Pinglai Town, a dozen miles outside the city. These subordinates were all trained by him himself, and their cultivation base is not very high, but they are definitely good at killing people. Naturally, he was the one to deal with Fang Xie's women, but there must be many escort sailors on the big ship, and these people needed his hands to deal with them.
Baimei galloped wildly, and the road of more than ten li was soon arrived.
Pinglai Town is very big, and he and his men made an appointment to gather in the Zhou family's mansion in the easternmost part of the town. The reason why it is the Zhou family is because the old man of the Zhou family is the housekeeper of the Mu residence.
When he got outside the door, Bai Mei tied the horse to the wooden stake, looked left and right, then went to the door and knocked.
No one responded.
Bai Mei's complexion changed, and with a push, the door opened.
The smell of blood came to the nose.
There are dead people in the yard.
His well-trained subordinates, as well as dozens of members of the Zhou family, all died. The corpses were piled up in the yard, and it seemed that the blood hadn't drained yet. Baimei's heart clenched violently, and subconsciously pulled out his double whips from behind. With his cultivation level, he didn't need to use any weapons anymore, but he was used to killing people with this pair of whips.
He walked into the yard step by step, fully alert.
There are thousands of people in the town, and no one noticed that so many people died in Zhou's family, and all the dead were good murderers, so it seemed extraordinarily strange.
"come out!"
He let out a low growl, like the neighing of a wild animal when it was on guard.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, and Baimei turned around immediately, only to find a middle-aged man in his 40s outside the door, riding a donkey. Extraordinary history. The donkey was obviously not used to the blood in the yard, and was reluctantly urged in by the middle-aged man.
"Hello."
The middle-aged man on the donkey's back wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, and said apologetically, "This bastard is slow and disobedient, so he came late. But don't worry, it shouldn't take me long to kill you." quick."
He spoke so modestly and politely, but Bai Mei's heart was pulled hard.
…

Chengxi Guandao
Qingya rode the horse and ran all the way, at least thirty li in one breath. In ancient times, there was a saying to see off guests thirty miles away, so there is almost a see-off booth thirty miles away from every big city. Qingya planned to continue on his way, but when he saw the two people resting in the pavilion, the corners of his eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and then he reined in the reins.
In the gazebo, there is a couple.
The man looks very rustic and honest, but the young woman is quite glamorous, especially the natural charm in the corner of her eyes, she is definitely a stunner who can stalk people to death when she comes to bed.
"Can I... can I go there?"
Qingya asked very politely.
If the diners in the Mu Mansion saw Master Qingya asking an ordinary farmer couple if they could go there, they would definitely drop their jaws in shock. However, Qingya asked so cautiously.
"like… "
The farmer-looking man shook his head: "I can't, my wife said, I can only go to bed tonight after killing you. I'm really sorry, I haven't touched her for seven days, so I really want to..."
He looked very simple and honest, and his face blushed when he said this: "So, please be accommodating, okay? Let me kill you."
