When Mu San walked into Wei Mu's General's Mansion, he was actually very uneasy all the time. He and Yi Chong and his wife went to see Luo Weiran, but they didn't expect to meet Wei Mu at Luo Weiran's house. When he got out of the carriage and looked at the General's Mansion, Mu San suddenly remembered that this was the original Prince Yi's Mansion.
Mu San couldn't help but think of the king of Yi, Yang Yin, who was famous all over the world, and of the mighty but anticlimactic rebellion in the capital.
The palace has not been remodeled, it is still the same. When Mu San was serving in the East Nuan Pavilion of the palace, he had delivered orders to Prince Yi's mansion several times before, so he was quite familiar with this big courtyard. Coming in here after many years, there is an illusion like a world away.
He subconsciously looked at the backyard of the palace, where there was once a building boat parked there. Back then, the high-spirited prince was directing the rebellion on that building boat, but was stopped by Wan Xingchen who was stepping on a willow branch. The building boat is long gone, but the small river is still there.
The walls of the palace have already been repaired, and the scenery in the palace is still the same.
"Yi Wang Yang Yin died there."
Wei Mu pointed in a direction.
Mu San looked over subconsciously, and then sighed in his heart. That kind of person, in the end, just died quietly in his own yard, and no one paid attention when he died. It was as if this person had never appeared before. If he hadn't been deliberately mentioned, who would have thought of him in Chang'an City
Perhaps because he felt a little hot, Wei Mu took off his coat as soon as he entered the mansion, his arms were bare, and the skin on his body looked as disgusting as a piece of mud. Fang Xie's golden fire didn't burn him to death at the beginning, because Fang Xie thought of keeping this person and using it in the future. But even if the golden fire burned on his body for just a moment, he was already completely bruised. To be able to survive, the most important thing is that Fang Jie didn't have the intention to kill him, and the second is that he was lucky. If this kind of burn is not treated well, it is not far from death after infection.
Although it is almost ready, the color of the skin makes people shudder.
Wei Mu himself seemed to have already looked away, and didn't care at all. He is tall and majestic, with a ferocious face, coupled with the current layer of skin, he looks like a demon that just came out of the ground. It's not just the skin. There is not a single hair on the top of his head, not even eyebrows and eyelashes. It seems that the huge round and bald head is a little scary.
"At first I thought I was going to die right away."
Wei Mu sat down in the gazebo in the courtyard, waved his hands and ordered the servants to serve tea.
Although he looked terrifying, his tone of voice was very gentle. Maybe everyone has two sides, showing different sides of themselves in front of different people.
"But fortunately, Duke Zhen almost destroyed me, but he also opened a door for me. Chang'an City is too big, whoever guards this city is like guarding a huge treasure. For people with ability and strength. I don’t have that strength, guarding Chang’an is like guarding a volcano that may erupt at any time.”
Wei Mu signaled Musan to drink tea, and then smiled: "I didn't think about it for myself, I had to work for the master. I don't say how loyal I am to the master, but the method of controlling the poison in my body is in the I have no other way to go in the master's hands. Now... it's time for me to think more about myself. "
Mu San smiled, a little unnaturally: "I never thought that you and I would have the opportunity to talk face to face. Originally, I planned to visit a few more houses, but I had to hide from you and not let you know. It's good now, those Instead of visiting people who should have been, I sat down and talked with people I shouldn't have met."
"There is nothing static in this world."
Wei Mu shrugged his shoulders: "I forgot who said that."
Mu San thought for a while, and it seemed that the lord Fang Jie had also said such a thing.
"That's right."
He nodded: "Now we can talk about serious business. To be honest, I am very uncomfortable sitting face to face with you."
"Ha ha."
Wei Mu laughed out loud, more like a ghost: "I like you, little guy, you talk very interesting."
Mu Sanxin said that you are the little guy, I have no guy, okay... But when you think about this guy's size, according to the smallest ratio, the guy will not be too small. Thinking of this, Mu San shook his head vigorously, thinking that his mother's thoughts were all messed up.
"You said you plan to visit many people?"
Wei Mu asked with a smile.
Mu San nodded: "My lord's army is approaching Gyeonggi-do, and it's only a matter of time before we break through. Chang'an City is next. Since I'm here, I have to do more for my lord. Some people in the city are worth visiting In a short time, if I contact one more person, it may save the army from losing a few soldiers."
"You don't have to go find them."
Wei Mu pointed to himself: "If you find me, it's not a matter of losing a few soldiers. Maybe you can enter the city without taking a single step. But... if Lord Zhen Guo can't give me a particularly good answer, No matter who you visit, I guarantee that the black flag army will not lose a lot when they attack the city."
…
…
Wei Mu's attitude is very clear.
Mu San also knew that what this person said just now was definitely not a threat, Chang'an City's defenses were too strong, even if the Black Banner Army had artillery to attack this big city, it would be extremely difficult. Everyone knows the thickness and solidity of the city wall, and everyone knows how much painstaking effort has been put into this circle of the city wall. The reason why Chang'an City was built so big and strong at the beginning is that all the emperors of the Sui Dynasty had the same thought.
In the event of chaos in the Sui Dynasty one day, the descendants of the Yang family will at least have an absolutely stable refuge. The city of Chang'an has a radius of a hundred miles, and the people in the city are shopping to support the Yang family. Even if the descendants of the Yang family were unworthy and couldn't restore the rivers and mountains, at least life would not be too hard with this hundred miles around.
What exactly does he want
Mu San has been thinking about this question in his heart.
Since the lord entrusted him with this errand, he must strive for the best result. There is no doubt that if Wei Mu can surrender, it will be the best result. But Mu San needs to know what Wei Mu's bottom line is, such a person is not easy to cheat and can't cheat for the time being.
"What answer does the general want from my lord?"
Mu San smiled: "Give me a promise, and I can send someone back to contact the lord."
"I… "
Wei Mu paused, with a strange expression on his face.
"What I want is actually very simple, but I dare not rashly believe that your master can give it to me. The reason why I didn't choose Gao Kaitai but him is because I know Gao Kaitai can't give it to me. Maybe you won't believe it if you say it , until now, my greatest request is neither military power nor status... "
He raised his head and glanced at the sky, and there were a few birds flying briskly in the sky.
"Detoxify me, and then find me a peaceful place to live peacefully until I die. I know it's hard for you to understand, and I don't need you to understand. I know that the simpler the request, the more Few people can do it, and I am worried that once I open the gate of Chang'an City, your master will kill me immediately."
"But what guarantee can I give you so that you can believe that my lord will not kill you?"
Mu San asked.
Wei Mu shook his head: "There is nothing to guarantee, this is gambling, gambling with my own life. Gao Kaitai can't do this, because he can't find a wizard who can expose me to the poison, and he can't let me go. I and my five thousand iron armored army are the sharpest knives, everyone wants them. But I don’t want to lead troops anymore, not even for a day.”
Mu San wanted to ask why, but in the end he didn't ask.
"So I've been conflicted."
Wei Mu smiled self-deprecatingly: "If I donate Chang'an City, I will offend some people by doing something for Fang Jie. Will Fang Jie kill me to appease those people? If Fang Jie can't give me what I want Yes, I will find my own way to live what I want."
Wei Mu's expression suddenly changed, he stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed around: "How many people are there in Chang'an City? You don't know, and I don't bother to know. I just want a place to live in peace, I don't want to Leading soldiers don’t want to meet people. Fang Xie can’t give it to me, so I will create such an environment myself, believe it or not?”
Mu San heard a chill from his words, and his heart tightened suddenly.
"If it drives me crazy, I will turn Chang'an City into a big tomb. I will lead the armored army to fight from here to there, and kill one at a time. In the end, only me and these armored soldiers are left in the city Army soldiers. They are dead people, and I am the only living person, how good is it?"
When he spoke, there was a kind of coldness flickering in his eyes.
Mu San's heart became more and more tense, and he began to regret entering the general's mansion.
Wei Mu is a lunatic.
Mu San knew this feeling very well.
In the two years in Chang'an City, he lived by himself, lived in fear every day, and talked to himself every day. He knew that if he continued like this, he might go crazy before long. And Wei Mu is the same, although the two of them have different reasons for going crazy, the reason is the same.
pressure
Enormous pressure.
Such a lunatic could do something crazy at any time. So Mu San was sure that what Wei Mu said just now was absolutely not alarmist. When the pressure on the person is too great to resist, anything crazy is possible. Slaughter the city of Chang'an
What is he afraid of
"I don't have any big goals, I don't want to be an emperor."
Wei Mu's smile became more and more crazy: "So I have no scruples, I am not afraid of offending people. Even if I offend the whole world, what if everyone calls me a devil? I don't need to ask anyone, I myself It can be done. Your master is afraid. He doesn’t dare to kill too many people now. He dares to kill all the people from so many families in the city? That would be like offending half the world. But I am not afraid, I will kill them So what? Seek revenge from me? Haha... I don’t need them so I don’t need to worry about anything, do you want me to kill a few people for you to see?”
He strode over and grabbed Mu San's hand.
"Come, come, come and point in a direction. As long as you point it out, I will kill you."
Mu San San paled in shock, and wanted to pull his hand back but couldn't compete with Wei Mu. Compared with Wei Mu's body, his body is like a rabbit and a wolf.
"You don't choose?"
Wei Mu's face turned cold: "Then I will help you choose."
He picked up Mu San and threw it to the side, and Mu San immediately flew backwards. Yi Chong and his wife stayed behind to talk with Luo Weiran on the mountain behind the Academy of Martial Arts, and Mu San caught up with Wei Mu by himself. Now Mu San began to regret, why was he so courageous back then!
He fell to the ground, and his back hit the bluestone slab, which hurt extraordinarily.
"there!"
Wei Mu yelled at him, his face turned red.
"Okay! Just over there! Come, blow the horn and order the soldiers. Our Master Mu San pointed in one direction, and slaughtered over there."
He grabbed his clothes and staggered out, like a drunk brat. Only then did Mu San come to his senses, and when he fell, he pointed to the west.
Wei Mu laughed wildly and left, Mu San looked at his back and his heart was still beating wildly.
"He's a guy who's driven himself crazy..."
Mu San murmured, not daring to think about what terrible things would happen after Wei Mu walked out of the gate of the General's Mansion.
