Wen Liunian couldn't help but sympathize with Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong.
It is estimated that sooner or later he will be beaten into a pig's head.
"What's going on?" The dark guard was very curious, "I've never heard Xiao Wu mention it before." There's even a matchmaker!
"It happened last year." Zhao Wudao, "We went to Yunnan to visit relatives, and then met the two brothers Mu Wanlei. At that time, the eldest brother hosted a banquet and invited Mu's Village and other Jianghu sects in Yunnan."
Although Zhao Wu is the younger brother of the Southwest King Duan Baiyue, he has no interest in the struggle between the court and the opposition, and has been staying in the Chasing Shadow Palace in the middle of Shu, only going back once or twice a year to visit relatives. Duan Baiyue cared so much about this younger brother, and wanted to call him back to her side several times, but was rejected every time. Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong are both old fritters in the Jianghu, so they can naturally see the importance of Zhao Wu to Duan Baiyue, so they took the opportunity to propose while the wine was hot, saying that they have a younger sister who is not married yet, and she is beautiful , has always admired Zhao Wu.
According to the Mu brothers' thinking, even if they are already married, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Zhao Wu is not only the younger brother of King Yunnan, but also the second in command of Chasing Shadow Palace. Whether it is in the Wulin of the Central Plains or in the Miaojiang of Yunnan, it can be regarded as having a big backer, which can be said to be a huge profit, so I have a lot of expectations in my heart.
"Marriage proposal?" Yunnan King Duan Baiyue smiled, raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
Although Hua Tang was not present, Zhao Wu still felt chills down his back, and he shook his head resolutely, fearing that he would be driven to sleep in the study room again when it was too late.
"Really not?" Mu Wanxiong was very regretful, "Even if you can't be a concubine, being a bed-warming girl can be regarded as fulfilling your sister's wish. A beauty should be a hero, why don't you think about it again?"
"Mu Er Zhuangzhu is joking." Zhao Wudao, "In the whole world, I only want to win the heart of one person."
"but-"
"Drink!" Duan Baiyue interrupted the two of them.
Mu Wanxiong had no choice but to swallow the words back.
It was also for this reason that whenever Huatang mentioned Mujiazhuang, she would not be in a good mood.
"It is true that he is not a good person." Mu Qingshan also said after listening, "And he is a little stupid."
Wen Liunian nodded, "What Master said is very true." Although he had never heard of this sect before, judging from Zhao Wu's words, Mu Wanxiong and Mu Wanlei were completely selfish and utilitarian - after all, in Jianghu Among them, everyone knows that Huatang's pungent personality is definitely not a good thing. If there are other women who marry Zhao Wu, life will definitely not be easy. Knowing this, but still stuffing his own sister to be a concubine and a girl, it can be seen that she is not a kind person.
"But it's not surprising." Wen Liunian said again, "After all, if he was really capable, he might have gone to Cangmang Mountain alone, so why wait to join forces with the government."
"Then what do you plan to do next?" Mu Qingshan asked.
"I wonder if I can ask Zhao Shaoxia for a favor?" Wen Liunian asked.
Zhao Wu nodded, "My lord, it's okay to say."
Wen Liunian said surprisingly, "I want to go to Cangmang Mountain."
"Ah?" Mu Qingshan was taken aback when he heard the words, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"If Zhao Yue insists on not going down the mountain, then I have no choice but to go to him personally." Wen Liunian said, "Even if we don't want to join hands with the government, we must at least know what kind of enmity he has with Mujiazhuang."
"What if you know?" Mu Qingshan asked.
Wen Liunian said, "After you know it, you can continue to think of a way to force him down Cangmang Mountain before the imperial artillery arrives."
Mu Qingshan praised, "Your Excellency is really considerate and caring for Master Zhao."
"What's going on?" Zhao Wu and Hua Tang didn't know anything about Zhao Yue, so some monk Zhang Er was puzzled.
Wen Liunian explained the general situation in the Cangwu Mountain.
"Is there such a bandit leader?" Huatang laughed after hearing this, "I think he should have been terribly angry by the adults during this period of time."
"I don't think he is a bandit." Wen Liunian took the initiative to ignore the second part of the sentence, "It's more like a gangster sect who wanted to be clean but chose the wrong place to settle down."
"Not necessarily." Shang Yunze shook his head, "Cangmang Mountain Chaomu Cliff is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are more than a dozen bandit gangs around it, which can act as a barrier. It is not easy for outsiders to break in. Excellent."
"When does your lord plan to go up the mountain?" Zhao Wu asked.
"The sooner the better." Wen Liunian said, "How about just tonight? If Master Zhao is willing to agree, maybe we can have a New Year's Eve dinner together on New Year's Eve." Very beautiful.
"No problem." Zhao Wu nodded, "Master Shang will lead the way, and tonight I will take you to Chaomuya."
The dark guard enthusiastically raised his hand, we also want to go together!
If there is excitement, you must join in, this is the mascot of the rivers and lakes.
Wen Liunian nodded with a smile, "The more people there are, the better."
Mu Qingshan felt from the bottom of his heart that Zhao Yue might have a headache and be irritable again.
Previously, it was unclear how many people were on Chaomu Cliff, so Shang Yunze didn't dare to act rashly, worried that Wen Liunian would go on a business trip. This time, with the two masters from the Shadow Chasing Palace and seven or eight hidden guards, naturally there will be no more worries, so they readily agree to lead the way.
"You have to be careful." In the evening, Mu Qingshan told Shang Yunze, "Don't get hurt."
"Of course not." Shang Yunze smiled, "It's just an unannounced visit, not to fight."
"Then go to rest earlier, you won't be able to sleep tonight." Mu Qingshan said, "I'm going back first."
"Little bookworm." Shang Yunze stopped him.
"Huh?" Mu Qingshan turned around.
"Do you have a talisman?" Shang Yunze asked.
"Amulet?" Mu Qingshan thought about it, and untied a piece of jade carving from his neck, "Only this one, does it count?"
When Shang Yunze received it, he saw it was a small jade rabbit. The material was good, but the carving was really rough.
"Brother bought it from outside when I was young, and it's not worth much." Seeing him watching all the time, Mu Qingshan felt a little embarrassed.
"How about lending me a night?" Shang Yunze asked.
"Okay." Mu Qingshan readily agreed.
Shang Yunze laughed dumbfounded, "Why are you so straightforward."
Mu Qingshan: ...
Refreshing is not good.
"I'll return it to you when I come back from Cangwu Mountain." Shang Yunze put the little rabbit away, "Go and rest."
"En." Mu Qingshan nodded, turned around and left the courtyard.
The corners of Shang Yunze's mouth turned up, and he seemed in a very good mood.
The dark guard landed on the roof silently.
Shang Yunze: ...
The Jianghu mascots collectively sighed, thanks to our peeping for so long, we let him go again, without even hugging him! The sky is lightly snowed, the surrounding is quiet and silent, and the people are so dull.
Shang Yunze's temples throbbed violently, he turned and went back to the bedroom.
It's really like beating someone up.
The night was getting darker and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Wearing a black night suit, Wen Liunian looked like a master.
Of course, it's just "looks".
"Ah Choo!" Wen Liunian sneezed loudly before he was discharged from the hospital.
Hua Tang shook her head, "Your Excellency, you should put on the padded jacket again, it will only be colder in the mountains than in the city."
"No need." Wen Liunian shook his head, "My officer... choo, choo, choo!"
Mu Qingshan was wrapped in a big padded jacket, holding the stove and looking at him sympathetically.
Wen Liunian returned to the bedroom obediently, and slowly moved out in the form of a cotton ball after a long while.
"Let's go." Zhao Wudao, "Otherwise it will be dawn."
Shang Yunze nodded, turned around and left the courtyard. The rest of the people followed suit and disappeared into the night.
Mu Qingshan went back to the room and lay down for a while, but he was still worried about everyone's safety and was not sleepy at all, so he simply put on his clothes and went to the study, intending to pass the time by reading. In the middle of the night, the candlelight on the table flickered a few times, and before I could fiddle with the lanterns, two men in black suddenly appeared in the room.
"Ah!" Mu Qingshan was taken aback, stood up instinctively and wanted to call someone, but fortunately he saw the face of the person in time, so he was surprised, "Master Zhao?"
"Why is it you?" Zhao Yue frowned, seeing that the study room was lit with candles, he thought it was the magistrate.
"Is Master Zhao coming to see my lord?" Mu Qingshan asked.
Zhao Yue nodded, "What about others?"
Mu Qingshan was silent for a while, and then asked, "Did the master meet you on the way here?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yue felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Your Excellency just set off for Cangwu Mountain an hour ago." Mu Qingshan said, "It is said that he wants to have a detailed discussion with the Master in person, and we will have a New Year's Eve dinner together tomorrow night."
Zhao Yue: ...
Lu Zhui: ...
"Why don't the master wait in the mansion for a while?" Mu Qingshan said, "When the lord arrives at Chaomuya and finds that the master is not there, he will naturally come back."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yue disappeared into the study like the wind.
Lu asked, "Master Wen went with Master Shang?"
Mu Qingshan nodded, "In addition to Lord Shang, there are also people from Shadowchaser Palace."
Lu Zhui smiled when he heard the words, "Thank you, master, for letting me know."
"My lord really wants to persuade Master Zhao to go down the mountain." Mu Qingshan said, "There is absolutely no malice."
"I know." Lu Zhui said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't make a special trip to visit tonight."
"That would be the best." Mu Qingshan smiled, "Are you sure you don't want to wait in the government office? It's cold outside."
"No need." Lu Zhui said, "It's the same when talking on Chaomu Cliff."
Mu Qingshan nodded, and didn't sit back behind the desk until he watched him leave the study.
Things seem to be going pretty well...
It's really good.
