When the servants of Mu's residence brought up the two heads of Qingya and Baimei on a tray with fear, Mu Guangling's face finally lost the kindness that never seemed to disappear. He lifted the cloth covering the tray to have a look, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave.
"What a great gift."
He glanced at Fang Jie, and drank the wine in the glass in front of him.
The smile on Fang Jie's face became more and more kind, and he said a little shyly, "I don't know if this gift suits Duke Ning's wishes, but it is expected to be suitable for the occasion. It would not be easy to get it if it wasn't a coincidence. In the past, even if I thought about it, I never had this chance, but when I was about to leave, these two things appeared by themselves, what a coincidence."
"Mr. Zhen is good at writing."
Mu Guangling was silent for a while, and then smiled again: "If Lord Zhen likes such a small gift, I would like to give you a few in return. I like to make friends with heroes all over the world, so there have always been many people in the mansion who are willing to share with you. I have made good friends. If Lord Zhen is willing, he can take more."
Fang Jie shook his head: "I only like the ones delivered to my door."
Now that the topic is here, it seems obvious. It was impossible to continue talking in such an amicable manner, even Mu Guangling, who was known as a true gentleman, could no longer maintain that amicable appearance. I have already seen the smell of blood, so where is the beauty of seeing it for the first time
"I appreciate the self-confidence of young people..."
Mu Guangling smiled and said: "Confidence is a good thing. If you don't have self-confidence, you can't achieve great things. I've heard a lot about Zhen Guogong in the southwest of Sui Dynasty, and he never hesitated to wave the knife in his hand. It's just that After all, it is in the southwest of the Sui Dynasty, and the things here may not be effective with a fast enough knife."
Fang Jie said: "I am very passive. I always like to wait for others to do something first and then find a way to deal with it. This is a shortcoming, but I can't change it for a while. I am not familiar with Dongjiang, so I went back There may be some difficulties and ups and downs on the road, so I had to prepare the shovel in advance. If I encountered a ditch, I would fill it in, and if I encountered a slope, I would shovel it. If nothing is encountered, the shovel is useless. Imagine that the roads are all smooth so you don't bring a shovel, right?"
Mu Guangling said: "The terrain in Eastern Xinjiang is not very good, there are quite a lot of ditches. A shovel may not be enough. What if the shovel is broken when it hits a rock?"
"It doesn't matter."
Fang Jie said leisurely: "No matter how many ditches there are, I can't get around them with a shovel. Even if the shovel hits a stone, if the shovel breaks, the stone will also break."
Mu Guangling's face changed slightly, and then he sneered.
Fang Jie said: "I believe that everything has a reason. If the stone has the wisdom to know the hardness of the shovel, it will not rush to block the road. What's more, Dongjiang now needs to accumulate stones to build a house. If there is one less stone, the house will be better." A corner will be missing. I’m just a passer-by. When passing by this stone house, if the owner kindly invites me to have a cup of tea, I will remember his kindness. If the owner thinks it’s okay to bully, in fact, even if the shovel breaks down, it can hit people. "
Mu Guangling was silent, and after a while he said: "What Lord Zhen Guo means is that as long as the stone doesn't bother the shovel, the shovel will naturally not take the initiative to touch the stone."
Fang Jie smiled: "Thinking of the other party's benefits, we won't be cold when we meet again in the future, will we?"
In fact, the meaning of what he said is already very obvious, that is, to tell Mu Guangling that no matter how powerful you are in Eastern Xinjiang, I am not a soft persimmon who will be bullied by you casually. If you insist on going head-to-head, even if my departure from Dongjiang does not go smoothly, your subordinates will inevitably die. Now is the time when you are preparing to raise an army, and many of your masters have died, don't you feel distressed
"But… "
Mu Guangling looked at Fang Jie and said, "It seems that Duke Zhen just moved away a big rock I was planning to build a house on recently, and it's impossible for me to move it back. Without this big rock, my house would be in jeopardy." It’s not easy to cover.”
Fang Xie knew that he was talking about the Beiliao people. Mu Guangling had planned for so long, wanting Wanyan Kang to replace Wanyan Yong as the Great Khan of Beiliao, and then control the tens of thousands of cold cavalry of the Beiliao people. This is what he said A big rock that Fang Jie moved away.
"No matter how big that stone is, it is still just a stone. The house that Ning Guogong wants to build is bigger and bigger. If this one is missing, another one can be found from other places."
Fang Xie said: "I came to visit the mansion today, originally I wanted to thank Ning Guogong... Ning Guogong is so hospitable, I am really grateful, this is something I can learn, how to treat guests is really a knowledge. After I return to the Southwest, if one day Duke Ning also goes there as a guest, or if we meet in the Central Plains in the future, Duke Ning’s hospitality today will definitely inspire me a lot, and I will copy it in the future. .”
This is even more obvious, but what Fang Jie means is that if you insist on making things difficult for me in the eastern border, then when you enter the Central Plains, the Black Banner Army will be your enemy.
Fang Jie said: "I don't bring many people with me this time, so if there is one less person around, it will be very obvious. When I see that there are fewer people around me, I will be sad, and I will be sad if I lose one."
He glanced at Mu Guangling, smiled and said: "It's really boring to play Jifeng, I like to be more straightforward... If Ning Guogong thinks he can keep me, just come and give it a try. If he can't keep me, he will come to the Central Plains. I will also try to keep you."
"I don't like being threatened."
Mu Guangling said: "And in Eastern Xinjiang, no one can threaten me."
Fang Jie shrugged his shoulders: "I don't like it either, that's why I came here."
Mu Guangling fell into silence again, and after a while he shook his head: "I hope Lord Zhen will remember what he said today, and when we meet again in the Central Plains, you and I can sit down and have a friendly drink." Wine. Mu Guangling is Mu Guangling in the Eastern Borderlands, and when he leaves the Eastern Borderlands and enters the Central Plains, Mu Guangling is still Mu Guangling."
Fang Xie got up and took Mo Ningzhi's hand: "Then I will take my leave."
Mu Guangling snorted coldly: "See off the guests."
…
…
In the slightly swaying carriage, Fang Xie rested with his eyes closed. Sitting opposite him, Mo Ningzhi's beautiful eyes kept staring at Fang Xie's face, as if he wanted to see clearly the most subtle features of this person's face. She didn't understand the intrigue between men, but felt that it was not as dangerous as expected. Everyone knows the strength of the Mu family in Eastern Xinjiang, so how can Fang Jie be sure that Mu Guangling dare not do anything
"Is that the end?"
She was really curious and couldn't help asking.
"It's not over yet."
Fang Jie smiled: "It's just that today's matter is over... No, it's just that the matter at Mu Guangling's house is over. He planned to use that Penglai Sect head teacher Su Yang to pressure me, but that Su Yang didn't understand at all. Although I have a good cultivation, I can't detect my invisible power, so I suffered a disadvantage. Mu Guangling drank the remaining half glass of wine. Although he didn't have any reaction after drinking it, he also understood that I didn't It's not as easy to deal with as he thought. If there is a fight in his Mu residence, he may not be able to easily keep me."
"Then what?"
Mo Ningzhi asked.
Fang Jie said: "If he wants to enter the Central Plains, he will definitely intersect with my Black Banner Army in the future. At this time, he is not absolutely sure to kill me, so he has no choice but to let me leave the Mu Mansion. Because he knows very well that although I am The leader of the Black Banner Army, but whether I die or not, the Black Banner Army is still there. Even if I die, will he be able to avoid the Black Banner Army in the future? And once I die in Eastern Xinjiang, no matter who will lead the Black Banner Army in the future The Banner Army will avenge me. Whether it is true or false, if you want to control the Black Banner Army, this is what you must do."
Mo Ningzhi rubbed the corners of her eyebrows and sighed: "People like you are really tired."
"If you don't think too much, you lose."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "At this point, losing is death."
"Then what do you mean, Mu Guangling will send someone to trouble you on the way?"
Mo Ningzhi asked.
"Even if Mu Guangling can't, that Mu Xianjun can."
Fang Xie looked at the sky outside the window and said, "I have already broken this person's heart for cultivation. Unless he kills me, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky if he wants to make progress in cultivation. For the most talented young man in Eastern Xinjiang, what kind of pain will it be if he can no longer go further?"
"If you didn't pierce a hole in his clothes at the heart, wouldn't he not have caught up?"
Mo Ningzhi said: "You are too domineering, and you refuse to bow your head. If you had given in a little at that time, Mu Xianjun would not have regarded you as an enemy of life and death."
"no."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "The stab at Mu Xianjun's heart was to enable him to catch up today. If he doesn't catch up, how can I grab a shield? There are so many masters in Mu's mansion, and Mu Guangling's own My cultivation has already made me afraid, if I want to catch Mu Xianjun, I can only let him come to my door."
Mo Ningzhi was startled: "You were actually planning to retreat at that time?"
Fang Jie said with a smile: "It's so late, I was thinking about retreating before I came. It's just that I didn't know Dongjiang when I came, and I gradually became sure after I arrived."
"Being counted by someone like you..."
Mo Ningzhi sighed lightly: "Will it be hard?"
Fang Jie stretched his waist and said: "I'm only here for the affairs of the Beiliao people. If the people in Mufu think that I haven't been here, then naturally nothing will happen, but they don't want to pretend that I haven't been here, so these calculations They found it all by themselves."
"Who killed those two people?"
Mo Ningzhi asked.
"San Jin Hou's people, how can they be able to achieve the four characters of "Huo Tong Tian Xia Xing"? How can they not have some unknown strength? Besides, San Jin Hou's own cultivation is probably not weaker than Mu Guangling .Killing those two people is really not a difficult task for Huo Tong Tian Xing. I asked San Jin Hou to follow me because of this."
Fang Jie said: "I think too much, so the enemy can't think much for me."
…
…
Dongding City
Mu Xianjun looked at the clothes around his heart in pain. There was no such hole in the new clothes, but he could clearly see the hole. His brows were tightly frowned, as if he was enduring some great pain. of.
"Master."
He murmured: "My heart for cultivation is broken."
"I know."
Su Yang, who was sitting across from him, sighed slightly: "You and Wei Shi both made the same mistake... You thought you were better than him, and I thought I was better than him. Maybe in fact, you are indeed better than him, and I also think you are better than him." It's better than him, but because we thought he was better, he was stronger."
It's a mouthful, but it's the truth.
"How to repair the heart of practice?"
Mu Xianjun asked softly.
"forget."
Su Yang replied: "Forget what ruined your cultivation mind."
"How can I forget?"
Mu Xianjun reached out and stroked his heart: "It hurts here, so don't forget... Master, help me kill him, please."
Su Yang was silent for a long time and then said: "The father-in-law will not agree."
"You won't tell father, will you?"
Mu Xianjun looked at Su Yang: "Today's Mu Mansion is Mu Guangling's Mu Mansion, and tomorrow's Mu Mansion is Mu Xianjun's Mu Mansion. For the sake of Penglai Sect, Master, you will not reject me, will you?"
Su Yang was startled, then heaved a long sigh: "Okay, I'll call Zhou Changmei, I'm afraid...he wants revenge more than you."
