The morning sun was very bright that day, Mu Qingshan was doing body training in the courtyard, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Wen Liunian walked in together with a tall and imposing man.
Cangmang City is poor, and there are few rich and powerful households. Even the richest man in the city will definitely not have this kind of elegance, so Mu Qingshan guessed suspiciously, "This is..." Master Shang? !
"I'm Shang Yunze." The other party smiled, "Just now I saw that your Excellency seems to be practicing martial arts, but is this the guardian of the government office?"
As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the servants who had heard the news and came to see the excitement were silent. My master looked so weak, yet someone guessed that he was a nursing home, what kind of eyes...
"Qingshan is my master." Wen Liunian introduced the two of them, and then let them into the study.
Taking advantage of the two not paying attention, Mu Qingshan quickly put a book on the table into his arms - or taking advantage of Wen Liunian not paying attention, after all, according to Shang Yunze's martial arts and vigilance, he wanted him not to see this action , and it is really difficult.
The other party obviously had a ghost in his heart, so Shang Yunze didn't expose it, and continued to discuss with Wen Liunian about suppressing the bandits. After a while, Mu Qingshan probably drank a little too much tea, so he stood up and said he was going to the hut, the moment he walked out, Shang Yunze inadvertently nodded his chest, and then glanced outside the room.
A Tengyunbao disciple understood, turned around and followed.
"Ah!" Mu Qingshan was bumped and nearly fell to the ground.
"Master, be careful." The disciple of Tengyunbao pulled him back, and then said to himself that this is too weak, no matter what happens, he will eat shit if he hits it.
"It's okay, it's okay." Mu Qingshan was still in shock, "I don't know why you are in such a hurry?"
"I want to go to the hut." The disciple of Tengyunbao replied.
"It's just ahead." Mu Qingshan pointed out, "I want to go too."
When the two went to the latrine together, the previous book had already fallen into the hands of the disciple of Tengyunbao. After a while, Shang Yunze temporarily left the study under the pretext of having something to do, and took the booklet from the disciple.
The title of the book is "The Essence and Strange Records of Cang'er Prefecture", Shang Yunze frowned while flipping through it, he thought it was hiding some secrets, but now it looks like a small story book for people to entertain on the street, it contains a lot of random things There is nothing special about the Shaoshan Kui goblin, so why do you rush to hide it
But soon, the Lord of Shangbao knew the answer.
Because he actually saw his own name in a chapter titled "Meeting a demon in Duanyun Mountain, the old warlock draws his sword to kill evil"! And it's not just that, after reading it, he found out that his character is not an old warlock, but a demon! Charm! color!
Black flames ignited all over Lord Shang's body.
"Castle Master." The disciple reminded in a low voice, "Master Mu is here."
"Put it away." Shang Yunze handed him the booklet, turned around and walked back with a dark face.
"Shang...cough." Mu Qingshan was smiling all over his face, but he was also shocked when he saw his expression, and said cautiously, "My lord sent me to ask the castle master to go back."
Shang Yunze looked at him quite meaningfully.
Mu Qingshan's back felt numb, "Lord Shangbao?"
"Master may be psychic?" Shang Yunze asked suddenly.
"I can't." Mu Qingshan quickly shook his head, "The next commoner has never had any roots of wisdom."
Shang Yunze smiled, "I can."
"Really?" Mu Qingshan was surprised.
Shang Yunze nodded, "Master, in the last seven days, it's best to eat more peppers and drink less water."
Mu Qingshan was puzzled when he heard the words, eat more chili and drink less water
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I will provoke evil spirits." Shang Yunze patted him on the shoulder.
Mu Qingshan sat down on the ground.
Shang Yunze: ...
Just like that, still punching? !
"It doesn't matter, it's because I didn't stand properly." Mu Qingshan stood up and patted the dirt, and then tried again, "As for the matter of evil spirits, I wonder if Lord Shang can reveal some more mysteries?"
"No." Shang Yunze refused flatly.
Mu Qingshan choked for a moment.
Shang Yunze said, "However, Master, as long as you keep in mind, eat more chili and drink less water within ten days, then the evil spirit can be resolved smoothly."
Mu Qingshan nodded, still dubious—if he met a stranger on the street and suddenly said such a call, he would definitely not believe it, but the one standing in front of him was the Lord of Tengyun Castle, which seemed unlikely. It is a person who tells lies.
After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Qingshan still decided to believe him once. The mansion is already poor enough. If he is really infected with evil spirits, he has to burn incense in the temple and spend a lot of incense money. It is better to eat chili!
So that night, the lady in the kitchen made a large plate of fried vegetables with dried chilies. Mu Qingshan hugged the bowl and sucked in the air-conditioning.
Shang Yunze leaned against a tree not far away, laughing until his whole body was shaking.
A nerd in a government office can survive until now without being robbed, which is considered a great fortune.
As the night darkened, the city gradually quieted down, but in a cottage in Cangmang Mountain, it was the time when it was bustling.
"Do it!" The young men held up big bowls to drink, the bonfire in the courtyard was raging, and a whole goat was roasted until it was browned, emitting a tempting aroma, very wanton and refreshing.
On the roof, Zhao Yue was chatting with the man in black who was the leader of the cavalry that day—his name was Lu Zhui, he was originally from Jiangnan, and he was rescued by Zhao Yue in an emergency, so they went back to Cangwu Mountain together. He is very careful and can be regarded as a veritable second master.
"Is there any movement in the mountains recently?" Zhao Yue asked.
"There is movement, but it has nothing to do with us." Lu Zhui said, "Since I led people to sweep Ke's village last time, the gate of the house has stopped a lot." There were still many gangsters who were about to move towards Chaomuya before, However, after seeing Ke Xiong's fate, they all gave up their thoughts - not because of Zhao Yue's martial arts skills, nor because of the power of Zhaojiazhai, but because of the people who came down from Chaomu Cliff. He is a master who does not want to die. He has nothing to do, and no one wants to provoke him.
Zhao Yue smiled and handed him a jar of wine, "It's hard work."
"You're being polite." Lu Zhui said, "At the beginning, I was wandering around the rivers and lakes for my life. If I hadn't been rescued by the boss, I wouldn't be living as freely as I am now."
Compared with Jiangnan, Chaomuya's life is obviously much poorer, but he also has a lot of peace of mind. There are food and fish in the back mountain, and brothers in the village. On weekdays, they drink big bowls of wine and eat meat. They can live a peaceful life like this It is also a blessing.
However, after only two or three days, the tranquility of Lu Erdao's family was suddenly interrupted.
Because when a brother went down the mountain to buy things, he brought back a government notice with four big characters "Offering a reward for finding someone" and the picture on the bottom was Zhao Yue's head portrait, but his name and identity were not written, but Use "a certain man" instead.
The common people crowded at the entrance of the vegetable market, standing on tiptoe to watch the excitement. By the way, they felt that there were quite a lot of rewards offered, but who is this "some man", I have never seen it before!
It's very gripping.
In the portrait, Zhao Yue is handsome and handsome. Apart from his messy hair, he basically has no shortcomings. He has a high nose bridge and a pair of extremely bright eyes. In short, no matter from which angle you look at it, you will not think of bandits, but you will only think it is a quack The young hero in trouble, or the great bodyguard from the capital.
"Lord Wen is here." Someone in the crowd saw it first.
As soon as Wen Liunian took office, he issued an order that the common people do not have to perform big salutes on weekdays, so when everyone saw him, they just waved and greeted enthusiastically, and curiously asked who the man in the portrait was and if he had committed any crimes. How could it be so valuable.
"It's hard to say whether he committed a crime or not. If you see him, remember to notify the government." Wen Liunian said, "Even if you can't catch anyone, there will be a reward for providing useful clues." After thinking about it, he reminded , "But be sure to pay attention to safety, this person should be able to do some work."
You must know kung fu, and have a long sword on your back! The people continued to stare at the portrait, feeling that it looks really good, and it is worth looking at it a few more times.
In the government office, a few painters wrote like a fly, copying the model quickly, but it was still not as fast as the speed of the government servants' stickers, or the speed of the people's tearing - handsome, take it home and paste it on the wall!
Mu Qingshan sighed, "It's been a long time since such a popular person appeared in the city."
Such a consequence would make Master Wen's head buzzing.
It was absolutely unexpected.
At twilight, the painter flicked his wrist, indicating that we need to rest, my lord, and my eyes will be dazzled.
Cangwu City is not very big, so it is not enough to paint so many pictures.
Wen Liunian walked around the yard with his hands behind his back, with a sad face on his face—the people wanted to tear it up, but they had to tear it up, because the reason for tearing it up was very legitimate, and they had to carry it with them for comparison, in case something happened to them someday.
In fact, frankly speaking, Master Zhao is not handsome enough to shake the world, but his eyebrows are more handsome than ordinary men, but the problem is that he is poor in Cangwu City, and the villagers have never seen any big world, so they suddenly saw the portrait Zhao Yue, especially those falcon-like eyes, couldn't hold back immediately. The story was passed on from ten to ten, and within a short time, all the people in the city ran out to see the handsome man, and said that you must find him, my lord, we all want to see him very much.
Wen Liunian: ...
In the vast mountain, Zhao Yue was also a little dumbfounded when he looked at the "heavy money reward". He never knew that he still had such a portrait outside.
"The painter should have met the master after May this year." Lu Zhui said, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be this scar on the left cheek."
"Damn it." Zhao Yue frowned, "Who is this newly appointed magistrate? Why do you want me?" If it was to suppress bandits, there was no name on the list, and the word "bandit" was not even mentioned. The words are also very gentle, it's more like looking for a friend you haven't seen for many years.
"I don't know." Lu Zhui said, "Otherwise I'll find an opportunity to go to Cangmang City to find out what's going on?"
Zhao Yue shook his head, "You have too many enemies, and the magistrate is a little naughty, so it's better not to show up in the short term."
"The enemies are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one would have thought that I would be in Cang'er Prefecture." Lu Zhui smiled, "Don't worry, the head of the family, I have my own discretion."
