When they were in the military camp outside the city, firstly, they had to beware of sneak attacks, and secondly, the place they lived in was not spacious after all, so Shang Yunze and Mu Qingshan slept together, which could barely be justified. But after returning to the Shang Mansion, the courtyard was full of empty rooms, but the Lord Shang still left the main courtyard and did not go back, and followed directly to the side courtyard of Mu Qingshan next door, with a very natural expression.
Mu Qingshan bent over to make the bed.
Shang Yunze called for hot water to wash up, and then sat calmly by the bed.
Mu Qingshan chased people away, "Go back to sleep."
Shang Yunze shook his head, "I won't go back."
Mu Qingshan didn't pay attention to him any more, after washing himself, he took off his clothes and got into bed.
I haven't slept on such a soft bed for a long time, and I can't help but sigh because it's so comfortable.
Of course, it would be even better if no one was leaning behind him all the time.
"Hiding for what?" Shang Yunze laughed.
Mu Qingshan said fiercely, "Go back to sleep!"
Shang Yunze said, "When I was outside the city before, I often touched and hugged me in the middle of the night, why did I start chasing people when I got home?"
Mu Qingshan's ears turned red, and then said, "Because the quilt is warm when I go home."
Shang Yunze's eyes widened, "I use the quilt together?"
"Then what else?" Mu Qingshan shrank in again, only showing his eyes outside.
Shang Yunze lifted him out, reaching out his hand to poke his waist meanly and shamelessly.
Mu Qingshan laughed until tears came out, stretched out his hand and pushed him hard.
Wen Liunian took the mahogany box and turned around silently outside the door.
The feng shui took turns, and I finally realized some of Lu's second master's original state of mind.
Originally, he wanted to bring the red-armored wolf here for a visit, but now it seems better to leave earlier.
"Hey, Your Excellency is back so soon." Hua Tang was in the study, "I still need to chat with Master for a while."
Wen Liunian put the mahogany box on the table, squeezed his chin and said, "Master Shang is in Master Mu's room."
Huatang suddenly understood, "Then the lord should have come back sooner."
Wen Liunian released the red-armored wolf and poured some minced meat for it to eat.
Huatang said, "It's not okay to eat meat all the time, you still have to eat some bugs."
Wen Liunian shook his hand.
Huatang hurriedly said, "I can feed it for adults, then wash it and send it back."
Wen Liunian heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you."
Hua Tang poured him a cup of tea and said, "Xiao Wu will secretly go to the military camp outside the city later."
"It's really hard this time." Wen Liunian said, "Be careful."
Hua Tang nodded, "According to the topographic map of Chaomu Cliff, it is actually extremely difficult for outsiders to attack, not to mention that there are many traps set up on the mountain road, adults don't have to worry too much."
Wen Liunian scratched his face, "Naturally."
"Then I'll go back and see Xiao Wu first." Hua Tang said, "My lord has something to do, just come to me."
Wen Liunian nodded, and watched her leave the study room, then spread out the topographic map of Cangwu Mountain, carefully looked at the direction of the mountains near Chaomu Cliff, with a thoughtful expression, and sat for nearly two hours.
"My lord." When lighting the lamp, the dark guard suddenly came in from outside, followed by Xiao Wu and Hua Tang.
"What happened?" Wen Liunian stood up.
"Just now we were lurking outside the camp of the two brothers in Mujiazhuang, and heard that they were plotting to enter the mountain." The dark guard said, "It seems that we have reached some kind of agreement with Hutougang to jointly attack Chaomu Cliff. "
"Really?" Wen Liunian frowned upon hearing that.
"It should be right." The dark guard said, "Mu Wanlei's skill is good, we can't get too close, but although we didn't hear it too clearly, we can still tell the general meaning. During the period, Mu Wanxiong mentioned Qingqiu a few times, They were all scolded by Mu Wanlei in a low voice, not knowing what it meant."
"Qingqiu?" Wen Liunian glanced at Zhao Wu and Huatang, "Have you two ever heard of such a thing in Jianghu?"
"I've never heard of it." Zhao Wu shook his head.
Hua Tang also said, "It's not familiar, but it's probably a crooked sect, so it's called this name."
"Cooperating with the Tiger Head Gang, we may not be able to attack Chaomu Cliff." Shang Yunze also happened to come over, and after hearing that, he said, "Your Excellency should be very clear about the terrain of Chaomu Cliff, so don't worry too much."
"Master Shang is wrong." Wen Liunian shook his head, "If we join hands with the Tiger Head Gang, there is a way to quickly break into Chaomu Cliff."
"What method?" Mu Qingshan asked.
Wen Liunian said, "It fell from the sky."
The rest of the people immediately realized, "Your Excellency, are you talking about the mourning bird?"
Wen Liunian nodded, "Although I haven't seen a mourning bird, but according to the description of the head and Zuo Hufa, it should be very large, and it should not be a problem to carry three or five grown men."
Hua Tang nodded, "Indeed."
"If this is the case, then only a few dozen mourning birds are needed to send all the people in Mujiazhuang to Chaomu Cliff." Wen Liunian said, "Not to mention that there may be people from the Tiger Head Gang."
"The mourning birds of the Tiger Head Gang this time don't seem to be as useful as the ones raised by the devil's education last time." The dark guard said suddenly.
Wen Liunian hurriedly asked, "Why did you say that?"
"It is said that I just went crazy two days ago." The dark guard said, "Mu Wanxiong's voice was a little louder when he said this part, so he could hear it clearly. It seemed that everything was going well, so they suddenly started tearing each other up and rolling wildly. The iron chains were tied in the underground dark room, and the ground shook and the mountains shook, knocking down the houses on the ground in two or three places."
"I see." Wen Liunian thought for a while, "I may know the reason."
Everyone looked at him in unison, Huatang said unexpectedly, "Your Excellency, will you still study the bird of mourning?"
Wen Liunian shook his head, "I've never heard of it before."
Huatang was puzzled, "Then..."
"The chief told me some time ago." Wen Liunian said, "The last time Guardian Zuo went to the mass burial pit to kill the wild puppets, the chief also sprinkled some... medicine for the funeral bird's food."
The whole room was silent when they heard the words, how could it be like this.
"Cough cough." Wen Liunian coughed, "So the mourning bird went crazy, probably because of these medicines."
Huatang said, "They are almost mature."
Wen Liunian was puzzled, "Is Protector Zuo talking about the master?"
Huatang paused, "I'm talking about the mourning bird."
Wen Liunian: ...
Huatang continued, "Back then when the war against the Demon Sect, the Reporting Mourning Bird was almost invulnerable to swords and guns, but it never occurred to me that there was such a trick as using aphrodisiacs."
"Then what should we do next?" Mu Qingshan asked, "If the Mu family village really has a bird of mourning as a helper, it will be very detrimental to the head."
Wen Liunian said, "How about sprinkling the potion once more?"
Xiao Wu nodded, "That's exactly what I mean. If you're lucky and just happen to catch the mourning bird going crazy in the air, then Mujiazhuang is going to kill itself. Taking a step back, even if the birds are going crazy in the Tiger Head Gang, Accidents happen one after another, presumably Mu Wanlei would not dare to fly with it easily."
"It's not too late, the time is almost up." Hua Tang said, "Xiao Wu is going to watch the Mujiazhuang, and I will go to the Tiger Head Gang again."
"I'll go." Shang Yunze said, "I want to be more familiar with the terrain of Cangmang Mountain. The left protector is in the government office to protect the lord."
"Alright." Huatang nodded, and took out two small bottles from her bosom, "There is Lord Lausanne."
"That's all, is it enough?" Shang Yunze uncorked the bottle and took a look, "Otherwise, prepare more."
"Enough." Huatang said, "And it melts in the wind. No one will find it. Such two small bottles are enough for hundreds of men."
The rest looked at her with worshipful eyes.
Xiao Wu has a headache, why do he have to play with these things... It's fine to play with them, and he still carries them with him!
What if one day I accidentally touch it.
"It's not too late, I'll thank you all." Wen Liunian called another hidden guard and told him to go to Chaomuya to report to Zhao Yue according to the previously negotiated route, so as to be prepared.
Everyone nodded and dispersed, Wen Liunian sat on the chair, poked the red-armored wolf's wooden box, sighed slightly, and couldn't hide his worry between his brows.
When will this mess end
In the middle of the night, Shang Yunze quietly landed in Hutougang. According to what Zhao Yue said that day, he quickly found the place where the food was piled up. Keep your feet on the ground—they are here, so naturally you have to stop by and have a look, maybe you will find new discoveries.
The surrounding area is still the same as before, and the defense is very tight. From time to time, there will be guards patrolling past, and all of them are silent. The sky in the west was a little red, as if someone was burning something. Shang Yunze looked for it, and saw three men standing by the river. The woodpile was burning with raging fire, and there were many... dead bodies on it.
Shang Yunze frowned slightly, held his breath and continued to stare intently.
"It's almost there?" One of them yawned, "It's dark in the middle of the night, hurry up and go back to sleep."
"Burn it for a while, and you will be at ease after it is burned to ashes." Another person said, "Don't be caught down by the black bird like last time, the gang leader doesn't know, if he knows, you and I-"
"Hush!" Before he finished speaking, the man covered his mouth, "Don't die, let's make this matter rot in my stomach."
"Yes, yes, yes." The tall man knew he was wrong, and continued to add firewood to the fire in silence, and poured a lot of kerosene on it, until the dozens of corpses turned into charred ashes, he cleaned up and went back to sleep.
The corpse caught down the mountain by the big bird... Shang Yunze shook his head, this time he really wronged Mujiazhuang, it turned out that he was playing tricks here.
