After a night's rest, Wen Liunian's ankles were bruised a lot, so he sat in the yard to bask in the sun. Huatang was afraid that he would catch a cold again, so he couldn't help but take out a big quilt from the room and wrap him up tightly. .
The air was fresh and the sun was warm, Mr. Wen was lying on the rocking chair, feeling very comfortable.
Zhao Yue passed by the courtyard by accident.
Wen Liunian said enthusiastically, "The master!"
Zhao Yue stopped in his tracks, and it took him a long time to find someone from a pile of quilts.
Wen Liunian struggled to sit up, and reached out to pick up a pot of red fruit from the table, "Do you want to eat it?"
Zhao Yue said, "No need."
Wen Liunian looked as if he was going to get up, but he had to wear too many legs and was not flexible, so the picture looked quite tragic.
Zhao Yue had no choice but to step forward and pull him up.
Wen Liunian was out of breath, "Thank you."
Zhao Yue shook his head, turned around and wanted to go out.
Wen Liunian said, "If the boss is fine, why not sit down and have a chat?"
Zhao Yue said, "I have many things to do."
Wen Liunian said, "About Mujiazhuang."
Zhao Yue frowned slightly.
Wen Liunian looked at him.
Zhao Yue hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled a chair and sat down, "What do you want to talk about?"
Wen Liunian said, "Mu Family Village is far away from Chaomu Cliff, I don't know why the Mu brothers have feud with the head of the family?"
Zhao Yue said, "My lord doesn't need to know this."
Wen Liunian said, "But I am curious."
Zhao Yue: ...
If you are curious, I must say it
"Since we want to cooperate, both parties should be more frank, so that we can discuss the next step." Wen Liunian said, "If the boss has any doubts, you can ask me."
Zhao Yue said, "I have a personal grudge with his brother."
Wen Liunian said, "You can also talk about your personal grievances a little bit." He was really very unyielding.
Zhao Yue said, "To kill my father."
Wen Liunian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he thought it was some kind of Jianghu enmity before, but he didn't expect it to be such a deep enmity.
"My lord, I'm sorry, I asked too much." Wen Liunian apologized.
Zhao Yue shook his head, "It's okay."
For a while, both sides were a little speechless, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. After a while, Wen Liunian picked up a red fruit and handed it over, and asked again, "Do you want to eat?"
Zhao Yue took it silently.
Wen Liunian picked up one himself and took a bite.
Crisp and sweet, very delicious.
So when Lu Zhui and Zhao Wu entered the hospital, what they saw was the magical scene of the two sitting and eating red fruits facing each other.
It seems a little weird.
The second master Lu was a little startled.
"Morning." Wen Liunian greeted with a smile as he sank into a pile of quilts.
Zhao Yue dropped half a red fruit in his hand, "I'll go to the top of the mountain to have a look."
Lu Zhui was puzzled, "Why do you want to go to the top of the mountain now?" There was obviously only a fish pond there.
But Zhao Yue had already strode out of the small courtyard, and his back looked a little embarrassed.
Huatang looked at Wen Liunian meaningfully.
Mr. Wen raised his hand to explain, "I didn't do anything, I just asked the master to eat two fruits."
Lu Zhui obviously didn't believe it.
The hurried posture just now is clearly afraid that he will be molested if he leaves late...
In the government office at the foot of the mountain, Mu Qingshan was rolling noodles in the kitchen—because the two of them went out for a stroll, and when they came back, the rest of them had already eaten, and they didn't want to bother the aunt who was cooking, so they planned to order a bowl of noodles by themselves.
Shang Yunze asked, "Can you help me?"
Mu Qingshan thought for a while, "Can you wash vegetables?"
"Naturally." Shang Yunze rolled up his sleeves.
"Just pick some green vegetables and garlic sprouts." Mu Qingshan took a piece of beef and shredded it.
Shang Yunze threw the vegetables into the water to rinse, then carried the basin into the kitchen, "It's finished."
Mu Qingshan took a look, "The mud is still on it."
Shang Yunze: ...
Mu Qingshan continued, "There is also a cabbage worm."
Shang Yunze touched his nose, and took a basin to the courtyard to wash.
"Otherwise I'll come." Mu Qingshan said, "The castle master can go to the dining room and wait."
"Waiting is boring, far less fun than here." Shang Yunze refused.
"I don't know when my lord will come back." Mu Qingshan shook the water drops from his hands.
"Otherwise I'll take you into the mountains?" Shang Yunze asked.
"No need, just in case something happens in the government office." Mu Qingshan squatted beside him and urged, "Hurry up and wash the vegetables."
Shang Yunze raised the corners of his mouth, in a good mood.
The beef and vegetables were put into the pot, and two bowls of noodle soup were quickly cooked. Mu Qingshan added an extra spoonful of Wen Liunian's spicy sauce, and put it on the stone table in the small courtyard.
"True virtuous." Shang Yunze took the chopsticks and scratched his nose with his hand, "The person who will marry you in the future must be a lucky one."
Mu Qingshan was a little embarrassed, "I never thought about getting married."
"Why?" Shang Yunze looked at him.
"It's better to be alone." Mu Qingshan said, "Besides, I can't take care of others well."
Shang Yunze smiled and fed him the beef in the bowl without asking any further questions.
In the evening, Wen Liunian and his party finally came back, along with Zhao Yue and Lu Zhui.
"Are you injured?" Mu Qingshan was surprised.
"It's okay." Wen Liunian said, "Accidentally fell off the cliff, but fortunately was rescued by Master Zhao."
The dark guard also nodded at the side, expressing that the scene at that time was scary, and we couldn't help but fainted.
Mu Qingshan said sincerely, "Then you have to thank the master."
Wen Liunian nodded, "Of course I will."
Zhao Yue: ...
In fact, he doesn't need any thanks, he just asks that after the matter is resolved, he can never see each other again.
The magistrate's yamen is not considered imposing, but the study room is very large, more than enough for a dozen people. Mu Qingshan lit up the lanterns, and sent his servants to make tea and refreshments, obviously in the posture of wanting to talk all night long.
"What do you plan to do next?" Zhao Wu asked.
Wen Liunian said, "Reject the Mu Family Village first."
Zhao Yue said, "Promise them."
Wen Liunian was a little surprised, agreed
"Since you take the initiative to help, it's not in vain." Zhao Yue said.
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people felt... This sentence was not Zhao Yue's style at all, but somewhat similar to Wen Liunian's style of doing things.
Since it is cheap, it must be taken.
"But they have enmity with the head of the family." Wen Liunian said.
"Are you worried that I will kill him?" Zhao Yue asked.
Wen Liunian shook his head, and said calmly, "I don't want Mujiazhuang to hurt Chaomuya."
Zhao Yue: ...
Lu Zhui smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."
"Why did you let people from Mu's Village come?" Wen Liunian asked.
Zhao Yue said, "Revenge."
Since they had already heard about the personal enmity between Zhao Yue and Mu Wanlei when they were on the mountain, there were no surprises for the others except Shang Yunze and Mu Qingshan.
Wen Liunian frowned slightly, obviously not agreeing.
"Your Excellency, don't worry." Lu Zhui said, "Until the bandits are suppressed, we will definitely not touch the Mu Family Village."
"However, the Mu Family Village may not be able to move the two masters." Hua Tang said, "Since Mu Wanlei has written a letter saying that he wants to come to Cangwu City to help the Lord suppress the bandits, he has already made it clear that he is ready. Suppress the bandits There is bound to be chaos in the mountains at this time, even if Chao Muya is alone and does not want to participate, there is no guarantee that the other party will not make dirty tricks."
"How about this?" Wen Liunian scratched his nose and suggested, "Since the Mu Family Manor insists on coming, let them come. It's okay to have more helpers. As for the personal grievances between him and the head of the family, as long as it doesn't affect the suppression Bandit results, I will definitely not intervene."
Zhao Yue nodded, "I will wait until the Cangwu Mountain is completely quiet, and then settle accounts with him."
"If that's the case, when the government officially suppresses the bandits, it's fine for Zhao Dazhao to bring people down the mountain in secret, and you don't need to participate." Wen Liunian said, "At that time, leave an empty mountain top for display, and Mu Wanlei won't Know."
"Where do you want to live down the mountain?" Huatang asked.
Wen Liunian looked at Shang Yunze.
Lord Shangbao said with interest, "There are many guest rooms in Tengyun Castle."
"Then it's decided." Wen Liunian made the decision.
Lu Zhui also nodded, "I will draw a topographic map of Cangmang Mountain as soon as possible, as well as the hideouts of various gangs."
Wen Liunian said, "There is Lao Er in charge of the family."
"My lord, you are welcome." Lu Zhui said, "As I said that day, since it is a cooperation, both parties must have some sincerity." You lure people to Cangwu City for me. No one owes the two, and no one will feel at a disadvantage.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and they each dispersed to rest. Wen Liunian sat in the study thoughtfully, as if thinking about something on his mind.
"Your Excellency still thinks about Mr. Zhao being the head of the family?" Hua Tang asked.
Wen Liunian came back to his senses, and asked in confusion, "Why do I miss him? I just left."
Hua Tang: ...
Well, just a random question just now.
"Both Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong are not good people." Zhao Wu also said, "They often do whatever they can to achieve their goals. Although the other party is here for Zhao Dazhao, you should be more vigilant, my lord."
Wen Liunian nodded, "I know."
"My lord, go to bed earlier." Hua Tang said, "It's getting late, tomorrow is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be a big show in the city, and my lord will go to visit the centenarian."
Wen Liunian nodded, "Both of you also rest earlier."
Outside another bedroom, Shang Yunze was knocking on the door.
"Is there something wrong with the castle master?" Mu Qingshan was a little puzzled after opening the door, he thought he had gone back to sleep just after parting.
Shang Yunze asked, "Drink?"
"Huh?" Mu Qingshan didn't hear it.
"Wine from the Western Regions." Shang Yunze shook the wine bag, "It's very sweet."
"It's very late." Mu Qingshan hesitated.
Shang Yunze smiled, "Drinking alone is too boring."
"..." Mu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, but still let Shang Yunze into the bedroom.
It's really easy to cheat.
