Wang Xuyuan looked at Mu Linfeng's expression without any intention of joking. Then her eyes turned red and tears flowed down.5ccc.Net
Mu Linfeng quickly stretched out his hand to wipe Wang Xuyuan's tears and said softly: "Silly girl, why are you crying!"
Wang Xuyuan quickly hugged Mu Linfeng, beat Mu Linfeng's back with her hands, and said: "Young Master is so good and bad, he made me cry..."
Mu Linfeng said in his heart: "I haven't done it yet!" He said: "Linfeng just expressed his inner thoughts. Xuyuan is like this. Linfeng will not dare to talk to Xuyuan again in the future, otherwise Xuyuan will cry.
It’s a treasure, but what should I do?”
When Wang Xuyuan heard this, she burst into tears and smiled: "What if Xu Yuan really turns into a crybaby, will the young master still like Xu Yuan?"
Mu Linfeng gently patted Wang Xuyuan's back and said with a smile: "Yes, of course. No matter Xuyuan is a laughing baby or a crying baby, she is Linfeng's treasure!"
Wang Xuyuan hugged Mu Linfeng tighter after hearing this. After Mu Linfeng hugged Wang Xuyuan for a long time, she saw Wang Xuyuan in Picture 2 suddenly pushed Mu Linfeng away and said, "It still doesn't work!"
Mu Linfeng heard this and said curiously: "Ah? What? What's wrong again?"
Wang Xuyuan whispered: "I just had a blind date with Mr. Wu yesterday, and I am doing this with the young master today. The young master and Mr. Wu are close friends. How will I face Mr. Wu in the future?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said, "Xu Yuan, don't worry. You and Mr. Wu are not destined to be together. It's because Mr. Wu can't smell the fragrance on Xu Yuan's body that it's like this. Besides, you and Mr. Wu have no engagement and no marriage contract."
Qingxin, why can't you face him?"
Wang Xuyuan said: "After all, Xu Yuan and Mr. Wu went on a blind date..."
Mu Linfeng quickly stretched out his hand to hold Wang Xuyuan's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu already knows that Linfeng likes Xuyuan!"
Wang Xuyuan was shocked when she heard this and said: "Ah, I understand, what did Mr. Wu say?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "What can I say, of course I wish Linfeng..."
Wang Xuyuan was half-convinced and said: "Really?"
Mu Linfeng slowly put Wang Xuyuan into his arms and said softly: "Don't worry, Xuyuan, as long as Linfeng wants to be with Xuyuan, no one or anything can stop Linfeng..."
Wang Xuyuan nodded after hearing this and whispered: "Young master, you must keep your word..."
Mu Linfeng raised Wang Xuyuan's head slightly and said seriously: "I, Mu Linfeng, speak the truth..."
Wang Xuyuan looked at Mu Linfeng and said immediately: "Xuyuan believes in the young master..."
Mu Linfeng looked at Wang Xuyuan, then slowly lowered his head and kissed Wang Xuyuan. Wang Xuyuan closed her eyes slightly.
Just when Mu Linfeng was about to kiss Wang Xuyuan, Wang Xuyuan suddenly pushed Mu Linfeng away.
Mu Linfeng asked curiously: "What's wrong, Xu Yuan?"
Wang Xuyuan sat aside and said: "No, you and I can't do anything complacent. We should wait until the young master marries Xu Yuan and we get married..."
Mu Linfeng looked out the window at the bright sky and thought to himself: "What kind of casual thing is this? What else can I do in the broad daylight? Isn't it just a kiss?"
Wang Xuyuan saw Mu Linfeng sitting aside without saying anything, and then asked, "Is Mr. Mu angry with Xu Yuan?"
Mu Linfeng said quickly: "No, no, it was Linfeng who was impulsive..." After that, he stood up and offered Wang Xuyuan's hands: "Linfeng offended Xuyuan!"
Wang Xuyuan quickly helped Mu Linfeng up and then said: "Although Xu Yuan has been married once, Xu Yuan still cannot get over this hurdle in her heart. Please forgive me..."
Mu Linfeng laughed and said, "Well, Linfeng knows..."
But at this moment, the door to Wang Xuyuan's room opened and a person came in.
When Mu Linfeng and Wang Xuyuan heard the sound, they quickly stood up and straightened their clothes.
But the person who came in was Wang Zhizhen. Wang Zhizhen smiled and said, "Is Xu Yuan's illness cured?"
Wang Xuyuan rolled her eyes at Wang Zhizhen and said: "Brother, you are talking nonsense again. When did Xu Yuan become ill? You also tricked Mr. Mu into coming..."
Wang Zhizhen laughed and said immediately: "Is Xu Yuan not sick? Then why do you think Xu Yuan is lovesick?"
Wang Xuyuan's face turned red when she heard this, and then she stamped her feet and said, "Brother made fun of Xu Yuan again. Xu Yuan ignored you..." After saying that, she glanced at Mu Linfeng and ran out of the room.
Wang Zhizhen laughed when he saw this, and then looked at Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng quickly raised his hands to Wang Zhizhen and said, "Master Wang!"
Wang Zhizhen said quickly: "Mu Shuai doesn't blame Wang for being good at making opinions, right?"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly, and then said: "Where, where!" He said in his heart: "I really want to thank you for fear that my sister will not be able to get married!"
Wang Zhizhen immediately stretched out his hand and said: "Mu Shuai, please, Wang has hosted a family banquet in his mansion, and I also ask Mu Shuai to show his respect."
Mu Linfeng quickly raised his hands and said: "Master Wang is really too polite...but Mu still thinks he hasn't had lunch! Haha!"
While Wang Zhizhen apologized, he and Mu Linfeng left Wang Xuyuan's room and immediately went to the lobby.
The food and drinks in the lobby have been prepared, but there are only a few servants and no one else.
Mu Linfeng asked curiously: "What, where is Mrs. Wang?"
Wang Zhizhen said: "Oh, it's unfortunate that my wife happened to go to her parents' house today, and there are only two people in my Wang family, Wang and my sister-in-law!" Then he said to the servant: "Go and invite the young lady out!"
After Wang Zhizhen finished speaking, he motioned for Mu Linfeng to sit down, then poured wine for Mu Linfeng and said, "Mu Shuai, I wonder if you and my roommate are..."
Mu Linfeng pretended to be surprised and said: "Mu and your sister? What?"
Wang Zhizhen smiled slightly and said: "Wang already heard everything clearly outside the room just now. Please forgive Mu Shuai for this..."
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "You old boy, do you still have this hobby? I really can't tell that you are still a peeping tom!" But he laughed and said: "It was Linfeng who offended..."
Wang Zhizhen sat down and said: "To be honest, my sister-in-law's marriage has always been a worry for Wang. Now that Wang knows that my sister-in-law is interested in Mu Shuai... haha... So Wang has no choice but to do it today...
"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "Mu understands, Mu understands... Mu doesn't like to beat around the bush when speaking. Yes, Mu and his younger sister Xu Yuan admire each other, and Mu also wants to marry Xu Yuan."
As a wife, I don’t know what Mr. Wang means..."
Wang Zhizhen was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Of course Wang won't have any objection... The key is that my sister-in-law likes me... My sister-in-law can be happy, and Wang has no objection..." After saying that, he quickly picked up the wine glass and said to Mu Linfeng: "
It's Wang's good fortune that Mu Shuai can like his roommate, so Wang will do it first..." He drank the wine in one gulp.
Mu Linfeng quickly drank all the wine, and then said: "As long as Mr. Wang has no objections, Mu will come here with peace of mind..."
At this time Wang Xuyuan walked into the lobby and said, "What are you talking about, brother, Mr. Mu?"
Wang Zhizhen waited for Wang Xuyuan to sit down, then smiled and said: "Of course I am talking about Xuyuan's marriage..."
Wang Xuyuan's face turned red when she heard this, and then she said: "Who said I was going to get married...Brother, you made your own decision..."
Mu Linfeng knew that what Wang Xuyuan said was ironic, and Wang Zhizhen naturally knew it too, and then he laughed and said: "If you don't marry, are you going to support your brother for the rest of your life?"
Wang Xuyuan pretended to be angry and said: "Brother, do you think Xu Yuan is getting in the way at home..."
Wang Zhizhen said quickly: "What the hell...it's just that Xuyuan, you are already a grown-up. We can't put off this marriage any longer..."
Mu Linfeng was sitting aside, pouring himself a drink, listening to the conversation between Wang Zhizhen and Wang Xuyuan, with a smile on his face.
Wang Xuyuan glanced at Mu Linfeng, then her face turned red and she said, "Even if I want to get married, my brother should have asked Xu Yuan for permission..."
Wang Zhizhen laughed and said: "Of course, of course...then Xuyuan, do you agree?"
Wang Xuyuan looked at Mu Linfeng, then stood up and said: "Xu Yuan should listen to my brother..." Then she ran into the inner hall.
When Wang Zhizhen saw this, he laughed and said to Mu Linfeng: "Xu Yuan is still shy, haha..."
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said: "In this case, Mr. Wang will also be my brother, Mu Linfeng. Come, brother, Linfeng will give you a drink..."
Wang Zhizhen picked up the wine glass and said quickly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, Mu Shuai is too polite!"
Mu Linfeng said quickly: "If my brother is still called Linfeng Mu Shuai in the future, then he will not regard Linfeng as his brother-in-law..."
Wang Zhizhen drank the wine quickly and said: "Wang...ah no, I said the wrong thing for my brother, I will punish myself with one drink..."
Mu Linfeng laughed, then drank all the wine, and said: "That's right, from now on, you and I, Prince Mu, will be a family..."
Wang Zhizhen was naturally happy, and quickly poured another drink for Mu Linfeng, saying: "So Mu...then Linfeng, when do you want to set the wedding date?"
After hearing the words, Mu Linfeng pondered for a while and said: "It's up to my brother to make the decision... However, Linfeng wants to wait until this year before deciding. Next spring, no matter when, I still ask my brother to make the decision..."
Wang Zhizhen heard this and said: "Okay, then Wang will ask someone to pick a good day after spring next year!"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Okay, follow your brother's orders in everything!"
After Mu Linfeng and Wang Zhizhen discussed their marriage to Wang Xuyuan, Mu Linfeng and Wang Zhizhen had a few drinks before they stood up and said: "Then the matter is settled. Mu has other important matters and we will send someone later.
Send the betrothal gift first..."
When Wang Zhizhen heard this, his eyebrows rose with joy and he said, "Okay!" He stood up and escorted Mu Linfeng out of the palace.
.
In the next few days, Mu Linfeng had nothing to do and occasionally went to Meixiang Tower. He originally wanted to see Liu Rushi, but he couldn't meet him.
Liu Ru was either receiving guests or was not seeing them behind closed doors. Although Li Fangyi knew Mu Linfeng's thoughts, she didn't say anything nice to Mu Linfeng or Liu Rushi secretly.
After all, Liu Rushi is the number one girl in Yangzhou Meixiang House at the moment, and she is Li Fangyi’s financial bargaining chip.
Chen Yuanyuan, Gu Meisheng, Bian Yujing and the four girls from Kou Baimen in Mu Mansion were surrounding Mu Mu all day long, and they seemed to have gradually forgotten that there was Mu Linfeng, the great Mu Mu.
Mu Linfeng changes a woman's room every three days. If he sleeps at Chen Yuanyuan's place during these three days, he will rest at Bian Yujing's place for the next three days, and then Gu Meisheng will sleep for the next three days, and then repeat the cycle. Occasionally, there will be a day or two interspersed with Mu Linfeng.
Linfeng spent the night in Li Fangyi's Meixiang Building.
Time flew by, and the day of the transaction with Li Xin was coming soon. Mu Linfeng sent someone to the iron factory to inquire about Wu Xing's progress. Wu Xing said that it could basically be completed within the deadline, and Mu Linfeng felt relieved.
Mu Linfeng also often went to the military camp in Yangzhou to discuss with Shi Kefa and Zhu Dadian how to attack Jiangnan.
What Shi Kefa meant was to have Huai'an, Yangzhou and Luzhou send troops southward at the same time. Huai'an would send troops to attack Nantong, and then march all the way south to continue to attack Changzhou, Suzhou and Wuxi.
Yangzhou sent troops south to attack Zhenjiang first. After Zhenjiang was pacified, they went straight to Jinling. After occupying Jinling, they continued south to attack Wuhu, Xuancheng and other cities around Jinling.
Luzhou sent troops straight south to capture Anqing on the north bank of the Yangtze River, then crossed the river to capture Chizhou, and then continued south to capture Huangshan.
Finally, the Huai'an Army moved from Suzhou to the west, and the Luzhou Army moved from west to east until the two armies turned around. At this time, the Yangzhou Army could stick to Jinling and send only a small force to help the Luzhou and Huai'an Army turn around and clear the obstacles in between.
Shi Kefa finally said that as for the Fengyang Army, they could send their troops north to capture Suzhou directly, then capture Xuzhou, consolidate the power in the north of Yangzhou, and then move eastward to open up the connection between Xuzhou and Huai'an to prevent future troubles in Yangzhou and Huai'an.
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he clapped his hands repeatedly and said, "Master Shi is indeed a military wizard. This kind of warfare is really popular in all directions!"
Zhu Dadian kept saying from the side: "That's right, that's right. I'm afraid only you, Xianzhi, can think of such an all-out strategy."
Hearing this, Shi Kefa quickly shook his head and said: "This method of warfare is absolutely impossible if it relies solely on swords and other weapons. We have less than 60,000 men and horses in Yangzhou, less than 50,000 men and women in Huai'an, and up to 40,000 men and women in Luzhou.
There are only more than 30,000 troops in Yangyang, so it must be supported by a large number of muskets and siege artillery... Moreover, outside of Fengyang, the troops from the three counties have to cross the river, and the number of ships is not small. Such preparations require at least
Three months to half a year..."
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but nodded after hearing the words: "Yes, for such a large-scale battle, sufficient preparations must be made, and food and grass are also a problem. Now Yangzhou has just begun to implement the distribution of farmland to each household. Although the people have their own land,
It’s not the farming season yet, and Huai’an has just started to implement it, while Fengyang and Luzhou haven’t started to implement it yet. If we wait until there is enough food and grass, it will have to be at least until the spring of next year, after farmers have planted the first batch of food and harvested it... Sigh
…”
Hearing this, Shi Kefa said: "Well, yes, Mu Shuai thought carefully, but Shi still forgot about the issue of food and grass, so if we either don't start a war and develop the four counties currently in hand first,
We will wait for these four counties to stabilize before trying to develop. Otherwise, we will not fight. A battle will shake the world..."
Zhu Dadian was listening clearly. He originally expected a big battle to be fought, but now that Shi Kefa and Mu Linfeng told him that preparations would take at least four or five months, and that the war would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon, he couldn't help but said anxiously:
"The four counties of Yanghuai and Fenglu were originally important areas for the imperial court. Before Zhu came to take office, the imperial court said that these four counties were the granary of Jiangbei. They should have stored a lot of surplus grain. As long as the firearms production could keep up, it should be available after the Chinese New Year.
Is there a war?"
Shi Kefa couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Brother Zhu, although you are the governor of the four counties of Yanghuai and Fenglu, appointed by the imperial court, how much do you know about the real situation of the four counties of Yanghuai and Fenglu?"
Zhu Dadian heard this and said curiously: "Why, before Zhu took office, he had already sent people to inquire about it. Is there anything wrong?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Mu knows what Mr. Shi means. In today's world, corrupt officials are everywhere. General Zhu, how many grains of the four counties of Yanghuai and Fenglu are still in the granary?"
"
Shi Kefa couldn't help but sigh slightly when he heard this, and kept shaking his head.
Zhu Dadian heard this but remained silent, extremely angry.
Mu Linfeng finally made the decision: "That's it. As for Mr. Shi, now Mu appoints you as the general marshal of the four counties to coordinate all the matters of conquering Jiangnan. You will dispatch all the troops and horses of the four counties... I will appoint King Wang Zhizhen.
Your Excellency, please do a good job in logistics to ensure the success of the war. As for firearms, don’t worry. I believe Mr. Wu can allocate time to meet the time limit of the war. To say the least, as long as the logistics preparations are sufficient, even if the firearms are only prepared in the original quantity,
Half of them must also start to attack Jiangnan..."
Mu Linfeng said and glanced at Zhu Dadian who was standing aside. After all, Zhu Dadian was once the governor of the four counties appointed by Chongzhen, but now he is just a general under Shi Kefa's account. At this moment, Mu Linfeng handed over the four counties to Shi Kefa, even though Zhu Dadian
No matter how good the relationship is with Shi Kefa, he will definitely have some ideas.
Mu Linfeng hurriedly said to Zhu Dadian: "As for the capture of Jiangnan, General Zhu is still needed to assist Mr. Shi. After all, General Zhu, you are a generation of generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. This time to encircle and suppress Liu Liangzuo, General Zhu also
He has made great contributions, so General Zhu must assist Mr. Shi!"
Zhu Dadian did have some ideas just now, but now that he heard Mu Linfeng say this, he was obviously trying to promote himself, and immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, Commander Mu, with my brother Zhu Dadian and Xian here, as long as that old boy Wang Zhizhen can
The food preparations are sufficient, Wu Xing has the firearms ready, and Zhu is definitely on the front line to capture Jiangnan. It is only a matter of time before he captures Jiangnan!"
Mu Linfeng laughed steadily, then patted Zhu Dadian on the shoulder and said: "Well, General Zhu is right at all. If the morale of our army is as high as General Zhu's, we will have all the best in the world!"
Mu Linfeng then discussed some details with Shi Kefa and Zhu Dadian, and then said to Shi Kefa: "Mu will send a secret letter to Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and Liu Liangzuo now, asking them to start making full preparations now..."
Shi Kefa said: "That's good. The only problem at the moment is that, Marshal Mu, you asked Shi to be the general marshal of the four counties. I'm afraid Hong Chengchou will be dissatisfied. Hong Chengchou has always been extremely self-reliant and arrogant. I'm afraid he may not be able to listen to Shi.
.”
Mu Linfeng thought about it, and then said: "It doesn't matter, Mu will write him a letter personally. I believe he will put the overall situation first..."
Mu Linfeng asked for pen and ink, and then wrote a letter to Hong Chengchou. In the letter, Mu Linfeng told Hong Chengchou about the capture of Jiangnan, and also told him the approximate time limit for the capture, and stated that this battle could only be
Victory, not defeat, explained the interests to Hong Chengchou, but the key to this letter is the last paragraph. Mu Linfeng promised Hong Chengchou that as long as this war is over and dozens of counties in the south of the Yangtze River are pacified, Hong Chengchou will be transferred to Jinling to replace Mu Linfeng in managing the subordinates.
There are dozens of counties below.
After writing the letter to Hong Chengchou, Mu Linfeng immediately wrote two more letters, one to Fengyang Commander-in-Chief Wu Sangui and Luzhou Commander-in-Chief Liu Liangzuo. The general content of the letter was similar to that to Hong Chengchou, and at the end he added a paragraph entrusting him with important tasks.
He also informed the three counties that Mao Pijiang and others had been appointed to take office in the three counties to preside over the reform, and asked them to provide support from the commander-in-chief of the three counties.
Mu Linfeng naturally knew that this section was indispensable. After all, these three generals were all demoted generals. Except for Wu Sangui, who seemed to be more reliable at the moment, Hong Chengchou and Flow were not so reliable. He could only attract them with benefits.
After Mu Linfeng wrote the letter, he immediately sealed it and asked Shi Kefa to send someone to the three counties immediately, instructing the person who sent the letter to deliver the letter to Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and Liu Liangzuo.
After Mu Linfeng agreed with Shi Kefa and Zhu Dadian on the war, he exchanged a few words with Shi Kefa and Zhu Dadian, then left the military camp and returned to Yangzhou Mansion.
Mu Linfeng rode his horse all the way north. As soon as he arrived at the south gate of Yangzhou, he saw the servants of Mu Mansion already waiting at the south gate.
Mu Linfeng knew that something must have happened, and hurriedly asked: "Wait for me here. Is there anything urgent in the house?"
The servant immediately replied: "Sir, Mr. Li Xin from the northwest has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. Mr. Su has asked the little people to look for him everywhere!"
Mu Linfeng's heart trembled when he heard this, and then he calculated the days in his mind, and then he remembered that the day after tomorrow was the deadline for delivery to Li Xin.
.
Mu Linfeng suddenly thought of Hong'er. He hadn't seen her for nearly half a month since the last time they said goodbye. I wonder if Hong'er came this time?
When Mu Linfeng thought of this, he immediately rode out on horseback and ran all the way to Mu Mansion. He quickly got off his horse and rushed into the mansion, passing by the lobby and arriving at the door of the study without stopping at all.
Mu Linfeng stood looking at the study door, trying to calm his breathing so that he would not be out of breath, while looking at the study door again.
Mu Linfeng was not sure whether Li Xin was the only one in the study, or whether Hong'er was also there. She seemed to regret now that she was so anxious that she forgot to ask her servants whether Hong'er was here.
After Mu Linfeng's breath calmed down, he slowly walked to the study door, reached out and pushed the study door open, and Mu Linfeng quickly explored everything in the room.
However, the result made Mu Linfeng a little disappointed. Li Xin was the only one sitting there peacefully in the study.
When Li Xin saw Mu Linfeng, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Mu Shuai, we meet again!"
As Li Xin spoke, he observed Mu Linfeng's expression. Seeing the disappointment in Mu Linfeng's eyes, Li Xin felt that he was extremely happy.
Li Xin came to Yangzhou just now, but his heart could not calm down. He knew what happened between Mu Linfeng and Hong'er, and he was determined not to see Mu Linfeng again.
But this was Li Zicheng's order after all, and it was related to Chuangjun's future development. For such a heavy responsibility, Li Xin had to come in person.
But when Li Xin saw Mu Linfeng showing such an expression, he felt extremely happy. All the speculations and haze on the road before the future were gone.
Li Xin saw that Mu Linfeng's eyes were wandering and he was silent, and then he said again: "Mu Shuai!"
Mu Linfeng's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled slightly and said, "Oh, Mr. Li, it's been a long time!"
Li Xin laughed and said: "How dare you neglect what King Chuang ordered!"
Mu Linfeng slowly walked into the study and sat down at the desk. Immediately after Li Xin sat down, he said: "There are still two days before the delivery deadline. I didn't expect Mr. Li to have arrived in Yangzhou today!"
Li Xin smiled and said: "Well, Li is also worried that time is tight. If Mu Shuai makes any mistakes here, Li can also help Mu Shuai with some ideas..."
Mu Linfeng looked at Li Xin and cursed in his heart: "Of course your grandfather hopes that I am wrong!" But he laughed dryly and said nothing.
Li Xin saw that Mu Linfeng didn't speak, and immediately fell silent. The study was suddenly very quiet.
After a long time, I heard Mu Linfeng say: "Why didn't Miss Hong'er come this time?"
Seeing that Mu Linfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked what he wanted to ask, Li Xin smiled slightly and said: "Oh, King Chuang has arranged for Hong'er to perform other tasks, and it's not a big deal this time. Li
Just transport the firearms back to northern Shaanxi..."
Mu Linfeng nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then said: "Well, since the time is still two days away, then Mr. Li should go to the inn to rest first. After two days, Mu will definitely deliver the goods on time, and he is determined to not miss a musket.
Mr. Li’s!”
Li Xin saw that Mu Linfeng had issued an order to expel guests, and then smiled slightly and said: "Li is not worried about the quantity issue at all. Li is just worried about the quality issue, so he would like to ask Mu Shuai to test some of the finished products so that Li can have a look.
As soon as there is any counterfeit or something like that, Mu Shuai can repair it immediately, right... Oh, Li is definitely not saying that Mu Shuai's firearms are all fakes, but just in case, it's better to be cautious!"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said: "Since Mr. Li is so worried, Mu Shuai will arrange for Mr. Li to test the gun! However, in recent days, Mr. Wu has been focusing on producing firearms, and now it has reached the most critical time. I'm afraid
I don’t have time to arrange for Mr. Li to test the gun. Besides, Mr. Wu has always been strict in the production of firearms, and I am determined that there will be no so-called fakes. Even if there are, I believe Mr. Wu will destroy them during the production process!"
Mu Linfeng looked offline as he spoke, then slowly stood up, walked towards Li Xin, and continued: "Taking a step back, even if a defective or fake product is found, Mr. Li can still pick it out at will on the day of delivery.
Testing, even if Mr. Li wants to test 10,000 muskets one by one, as long as Mr. Li takes the trouble and has enough time, there will definitely be no problem."
Hearing this, Li Xin stood up with a smile and said, "In that case, Li will come to visit you again the day after tomorrow!"
As he spoke, Li Xin bowed his hands to Mu Linfeng and said, "Then Li will take his leave first!"
Mu Linfeng cupped his hands and said, "Okay, Mu won't give it away!"
After Li Xin walked behind the study door, he stopped, turned his head and glanced at Mu Linfeng before leaving the study.
When Mu Linfeng saw Li Xin leaving, he cursed in his heart: "Even the musket I gave you is not as good as what I can use myself. You silly boy, can you try it?"
After Mu Linfeng waited for Li Xin to leave, he rushed to ask his servants to invite Wu Xing back to his house to inquire about the current status of firearms production. However, he then thought that Wu Xing might also be busy at the iron factory at the moment. If it delayed his affairs
, not good.
Immediately, Mu Linfeng left Mu Mansion, jumped on his horse, and immediately headed east of Yangzhou, heading directly to the iron factory.
The situation of the iron factory at this time is no longer the same as that of the past. From far away, you can see the smoke coming out of the chimney on the top of the mountain, and there are also heavy military handles at the bottom of the mountain.
After walking all the way up the mountain, I discovered that another factory building had been built on the open space next to the iron factory, which was a firearms production factory.
Busy workers could be seen everywhere in the iron factory. Mu Linfeng saw that everyone was working hard and no one was lazy.
After all, Wu Xing has set new rules here. Except for a few technical backbones and managers, all workers will get more for their hard work, and there is no guaranteed salary.
Moreover, Wu Xing has also set up a reward policy, and will prepare a bonus of 200 taels every month to reward the most diligent worker this month.
Wu Xing also divided all the workers into several working groups, with ten people in each group, and distributed a bonus of nearly one thousand taels to the group with the most outstanding monthly performance.
Under such a policy, if you don't work, you won't get paid. If you do well, you can still get bonuses and bonuses. And there are a few people who are willing to be lazy and not work. Doesn't it mean they don't want to get paid?
After Mu Linfeng entered the iron factory building, he saw that it was very busy here. The entire factory had been divided into more than a dozen workshops by Wu Xing, and each workshop was responsible for different tasks. Since then, the work has been orderly and methodical, and he is very concerned about the work.
The quality has been relatively improved several times.
At this time, Kong Wu was inspecting the iron factory buildings. When he saw Mu Linfeng coming, he immediately came up to him and said, "Brother Mu, how come you have time to come here!"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "I have nothing to do these days, so come over and take a look... This iron factory is really well-run!"
Kong Wu laughed at the side and said: "These are not all ideas that Mr. Wu came up with. Because more work means more reward, no worker wants to be lazy, and at the end of every month, about ten people with the worst performance will be eliminated.
Workers, workers not only want to get extra bonuses and bonuses, but also don’t want to be eliminated. The only jobs left are job titles..."
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Wu Xing is really good at coming up with ideas, but this really prevents us from eating from the same big pot. It not only saves us a lot of expenses, but also increases production..."
Mu Linfeng thought of this and asked Kong Wudao: "Where is Mr. Wu?"
Kong Wudao: "Mr. Wu should be in the factory next door. Mr. Wu rarely comes to this factory and has been fully managed by Kong..."
Hearing this, Mu Linfeng patted Kong Wu on the shoulder and said: "Well, since Mr. Wu is so relieved to hand it over to Brother Kong, Brother Kong must be serious and responsible. In the future, our factory will continue to expand. When the time comes, Brother Kong, your
The burden is heavy..."
Kong Wudao: "I'm not afraid of being tired, but I can't help Mr. Wu..."
Mu Linfeng patted Kong Wu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Kong, don't belittle yourself in the future. Isn't what you're doing now pretty good..."
Kong Wu laughed and said, "I just wander around the factory every day. If I can't do this well, what else can Kong do?"
Mu Linfeng also laughed when he heard this, and then said seriously: "Brother Kong, please don't underestimate this daily inspection! This inspection is like a general in a military camp training soldiers. You said that if there is no general in the military camp to watch the soldiers, even if
No matter how much a soldier wants to perform meritorious service, how can he do it without the supervision and training of a general?"
When Kong Wu heard this, he couldn't help but feel that there was some truth in it, and quickly said: "Listen to what Brother Mu said, that's really what happened!"
Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "Okay, Brother Kong, go and do your work. Mu goes to find Mr. Wu to talk about something!"
Kong Wudao: "Okay, then Kong will go and watch those boys first!" After saying that, he bowed his hand to Mu Linfeng and continued to inspect another workshop.
.
Mu Linfeng looked at the workers working in the factory again, and thought to himself: "If we build a larger iron factory in the future, we must use Wu Xing's method to operate it!"
Mu Linfeng immediately left the iron factory building and went to the firearms factory. The firearms factory and the iron factory have been surrounded by iron fences, and there are sergeant handles at the entrance to prevent workers in the iron factory from entering and exiting at will.
.
After all, everything in the firearms factory is very important, and there is also gunpowder, so there is no room for sloppiness.
There were ten soldiers guarding the entrance, five on each side of the gate, and a wooden sign was set up beside the gate. The slogan on the wooden sign read: "Any worker without permission shall
Anyone who approaches the firearms room at will will be shot on the spot!"
Mu Linfeng looked at such a slogan and couldn't help but thought: "This must be the method Wu Xing came up with!"
The soldier guarding the firearms room knew Mu Linfeng. When he saw Mu Linfeng coming, he immediately said: "Mu Shuai!"
Mu Linfeng immediately said: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!" and then entered the firearms room.
There are not as many workers in the firearms room as there are in the iron factory building, and the place is much emptier.
As soon as you enter the factory, you can see muskets piled all over the floor, as well as some unfinished prototypes of small steel cannons.
Mu Linfeng immediately pulled a worker and asked him to call Wu Xing.
From time to time, Wu Xing walked out of the factory building. When he saw Mu Linfeng, he immediately ran towards him.
After Mu Linfeng waited for Wu Xing to approach, he said: "Brother Wu, the iron factory is becoming more and more large-scale. Your management methods are very good. If we open an iron factory in Jiangnan in the future, we must continue to use this kind of management."
system!"
Wu Xing smiled and said: "This is also the management system that has been used by large and small enterprises in the 21st century. Wu just copied it!"
Mu Linfeng laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Good move, Mu didn't expect this!"
Wu Xing smiled slightly, and then asked Mu Linfeng: "Oh, by the way, Brother Feng, do you have anything important to do with Wu?"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said: "Well, that's right, Li Xin has arrived in Yangzhou, and Mu already met him before coming to the iron factory!"
Wu Xingqi said: "Oh, isn't the deadline coming in two days? Why is Li Xin here today?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "There is only one possibility, that is, Li Zicheng can't wait any longer. He will make big moves in the north!"
When Wu Xing heard this, his tiger body trembled, and he sighed: "I don't know whether Wu's use of this firearm is a good thing or not. It seems that the already chaotic world is about to become even more chaotic!"
Mu Linfeng patted Wu Xing's shoulder and said, "Brother Wu, you don't need to think too much. This has been the case in all dynasties. Has Brother Wu seen any great rule before the late period of that dynasty?"
Wu Xing couldn't help but be filled with questions when he heard the words, and did not understand the meaning of Mu Linfeng's words. I read_shu Zhai
Mu Linfeng also saw that Wu Xing didn't understand, and then said: "Since Liu Bang destroyed Xiang Yu and pacified the world, the Han Dynasty only had the rule of Wenjing, and when was the rule of Wenjing, it was more than ten years after Liu Bang conquered the world?
Year...The same was true for the Zhenguan period in the Tang Dynasty...So if you want to achieve great governance, you must go through this chaos...So Brother Wu does not need to blame himself. Even without your firearms, Brother Wu, the world will not be any better.
... Only if we use firearms to speed up the chaos and promote the unification of the world as soon as possible is the truth..."
Wu Xing couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this, and listened to Mu Linfeng ask him: "Oh, by the way, how is the firearms production going now?"
Wu Xingdao: "It's coming to an end. If we work overtime tonight, it will all be completed by around four or five in the morning. Tomorrow will be mainly about checking one by one... we will definitely be able to hand over the work the day after tomorrow!"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "That's good... By the way, there's no problem with the range!"
Wu Xingdao: "No problem. The range is three-quarters of the range of the muskets used by our army. The difference is only about two hundred meters. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be seen..."
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words: "That's good... Oh, by the way, Li Xin asked for inspection... This guy is worried about us..."
Wu Xing smiled and said: "Let him inspect the goods. By the way, Wu will start inspecting the goods one by one at noon tomorrow. Brother Feng, you can come with Li Xin!"
Mu Linfeng heard this and said: "It's okay, it seems that he will not accept the goods without acceptance, but Brother Wu must check carefully. Don't find that the muskets we produced are mute after the boy accepts them..."
Wu Xingdao: "Brother Feng, don't worry. We are producing 12,000 pieces. This is to prevent defective products from appearing. We can still save them when the time comes!"
Mu Linfeng nodded with relief, then exchanged a few words with Wu Xing and returned to Mu Mansion.
The next day, Mu Linfeng sent someone to the inn to invite Li Xin, and then went to the iron factory with Li Xin.
When Li Xin arrived at the iron factory, he couldn't help but feel shuddered when he saw the iron factory was heavily guarded.
Mu Linfeng looked at Li Xin's expression and remained silent, leading Li Xin up the mountain and into the iron factory.
Wu Xing knew that Mu Linfeng and Li Xin were coming to inspect the goods today, so he had already prepared everything on the mountain behind the iron factory. There were hundreds of boxes placed on the edge of the mountain, and each box contained nearly a hundred muskets.
On the other side, there are a hundred small steel cannons neatly arranged. There is a person standing on each small steel cannon, and next to the other side are some cannonballs ready for testing.
When Wu Xing saw Mu Linfeng and Li Xin arriving, he immediately came up to greet them. Mu Linfeng and Li Xin held their hands and said, "Brother Feng...Mr. Li..."
Mu Linfeng nodded slightly, and then the look in his eyes at Wu Xing told him that everything was ready and nothing would go wrong.
Li Xin quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Mr. Wu, long time no see..."
Wu Xing smiled and said: "Mr. Li still has the same style..."
Li Xin laughed and said, "Mr. Wu can also tell jokes..."
As the three of them talked, they walked to the edge of the cliff. Li Xin said, "Are all the goods that Li wants here?"
Wu Xingdao: "Yes, ten thousand muskets, one hundred artillery pieces... Mr. Li, would you like to count the numbers?"
Hearing this, Li Xin quickly waved his hands and said: "Where, where, but Li is still afraid that Mu Shuai and Mr. Wu will deceive Li..." Although he said so, his eyes still glanced at the muskets on the side.
Mu Linfeng sneered in his heart when he saw this, and then said to Wu Xing: "Mr. Wu, you can start coming..."
Mu Linfeng immediately said to Li Xin: "The number of artillery pieces is small, so let's test the artillery pieces first!"
Li Xin nodded when he heard this and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wu!"
Wu Xing walked to the side of a hundred small steel cannons and said to a hundred artillerymen: "Everyone, get ready!"
One hundred artillerymen loaded one hundred small steel cannons with shells in a unified and orderly manner, then clicked each one to light a gun and held it in their hands, waiting for Wu Xing's order.
I saw Wu Xing on the side holding a flag, raised it high, and then quickly lowered it.
One hundred artillerymen immediately started to light fires, and then the sound of "boom...boom...boom..." suddenly made the whole mountain tremble.
On the opposite mountain, there was a sudden "rumbling... rumbling..." After hundreds of sounds, dust flew into the sky, and flames burst out. Suddenly, all the people on half of the cliff were blasted away by a hundred small steel cannons.
When Li Xing just heard the sound of the cannon, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. Model Mu Linfeng hugged his shoulders to prevent him from falling down in fright.
Now looking at the cliff on the opposite side, Li Xin was stunned and the cold sweat on his forehead could not help but slowly flow down.
Mu Linfeng smiled and patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "Are you satisfied, Mr. Li?"
Li Xin suddenly realized, and kept nodding his head, saying: "Satisfied, satisfied, such artillery is really invincible. With this powerful weapon for siege, I'm afraid no city in the world can hold it!"
Mu Linfeng thought: "Of course that's the case, but if I sell this writing to the imperial court and they attack your city, the effect will be the same!"
Mu Linfeng thought this in his heart, but he couldn't say it with his mouth. Saying this would discourage buyers. The biggest taboo in selling goods is to say things that are unfavorable to buyers. They can only say things that are powerful to buyers, so that they can
Will pay willingly.
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "I believe that after these cannons and muskets are transported to northern Shaanxi, within a year, King Chuang will be determined to unify Jiangbei!"
Li Xin had seen the power of the small steel cannon with his own eyes, so of course he believed Mu Linfeng's words and just nodded after hearing the words.
Mu Linfeng then patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said: "Okay, the artillery is no longer a problem. Now it's time to test these muskets. However, there are as many as 10,000 muskets. Mr. Li might as well move a picture with Mu
Chair, sit aside and enjoy it slowly!"
Li Xin was already shocked by the artillery fire just now. Mu Linfeng just nodded his head no matter what he said.
Mu Linfeng immediately ordered people to move three chairs and sat aside with Li Xin and Wu Xing.
Wu Xingze had seconded a thousand musketeers from Yangzhou City in advance and was ready.
.
After Mu Linfeng, Li Xin, and Wu Xing were seated, Mu Linfeng signaled a thousand musketeers to prepare to test the guns.
Seeing Mu Linfeng's signal, a thousand musketeers loaded their muskets and pointed them outside the mountain.
The sound of "bang...bang...bang...bang..." was heard all of a sudden.
Mu Linfeng and Wu Xing smiled at each other, while Li Xin looked on and smacked his lips.
Although I have always heard about Mu Linfeng's firearms, I only heard about them. Now I have seen and experienced them with my own eyes. This kind of shock is something I believe Li Xin will never forget in his life.
After more than a thousand musketeers tested the first batch, they immediately replaced it with another batch. After testing ten batches of muskets, there was not a single defective product.
Mu Linfeng immediately signaled the workers to pack the firearms into boxes, and then put a seal on them. Then he smiled at Li Xin and said, "How about it, Mr. Li, there should be no problem now, right?"
Li Xin heard this and said repeatedly: "No problem, no problem. I believe that not only Li is satisfied, but King Chuang will also be satisfied after seeing this batch of firearms..."
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this, and then said to Li Xin in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that King Chuang will use such a sharp weapon in the future and turn the gun against Mu..."
Li Xin's expression changed when he heard this, and he immediately said: "No, no, Mu Shuai, don't worry, King Chuang has not made an agreement with Mu Shuai before, and from then on, they will divide the rivers and rule each other without invading each other. I believe King Chuang will not do it."
A treacherous villain..."
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this, then patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "I hope so, but in this troubled world, interests are at the forefront, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future..."
Mu Linfeng glanced at Li Xin as he spoke. Seeing that Li Xin was hesitant, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, now you and I can't say for sure what will happen in the future, but Mr. Li has tested this guy. I don't know this."
The balance..."
When Li Xin heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Mu Shuai is really a businessman..." He took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and said, "The remaining balance is here, Mu Shuai, please count it!"
Then he handed all the banknotes to Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng laughed, then took the banknote and said: "Wealth is the basis of survival, you can't do without it!" After saying that, he handed the banknote to Wu Xing and then said to Li Xin: "If there is no production funds, if King Chuang arrives,
If we need firearms again, how can we produce them?"
Li Xin heard the words and said repeatedly: "That's it, that's it... Then Li will say goodbye for the time being. Now he will find some manpower and come back here tomorrow to transport goods..."
Mu Linfeng said quickly: "Since we have accepted this order from King Chuang, we must serve it to the end. This batch of goods will be transported by Mu to King Chuang. The person to transport the goods has already been selected by Mu..."
Li Xin smiled when he heard this and said: "Mu Shuai's service is really attentive... I wonder how many troops Mu Shuai plans to send?"
Mu Linfeng said: "It's not the army. If we use the army to escort us so blatantly, doesn't it tell the court what we are transporting? I wonder if Mr. Li has heard of the name Zhenyuan Escort Agency..."
Li Xindao: "Zhenyuan Escort Bureau... Oh, it is Zhenyuan Escort Bureau that is responsible for transporting the goods... The banner of Zhenyuan Escort Agency is very loud among the peers. If they take over the delivery, it will be absolutely foolproof. Mu Shuai is thoughtful.
…”
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Of course, since we have decided to do this business, every step from receiving business to sending customers off must not go wrong. What's more, this batch of goods is not ordinary goods. Mr. Li, don't you think so?
…”
Before Mu Linfeng finished speaking, he heard a soldier coming to report, saying: "Commander Mu, a servant from the Mu Mansion came to report that a man named Zhou Yanru was waiting for Commander Mu in the Mu Mansion and had important matters to discuss with him."
When Mu Linfeng and Li Xin heard this, their expressions changed at the same time. Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "Did someone come from the imperial court so quickly? Did they actually send this greedy and lustful Zhou Yanru?"
Li Xin, on the other hand, pondered for a long time while looking at Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng quickly said to the soldier: "Go and tell this servant to ask Mr. Zhou Yanru to ask for it later. Mu will go later..."
After the soldier left, Li Xin said: "So Commander Mu still has contacts with important officials in the imperial court?"
Mu Linfeng knew that Li Xin was worried that there was also a firearms transaction between him and the imperial court. By then, it would be difficult to distinguish the advantages between them based on firearms.
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said: "Mu has never heard of this Zhou Yanru, and I don't know why he came to Mu. However, in today's troubled times, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you stand firm... Oh... Mr. Li, then Linfeng
I'll say goodbye now, Mu will arrange for this batch of goods to leave the city tomorrow..."
Hearing this, Li Xin quickly raised his hands and said, "Since the goods have been inspected, how about Li and Mu Shuai go down the mountain together?"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said: "That's fine!" Then he asked a soldier to inform Zhong Tian, the head of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, to go to Mu Mansion to discuss something.
After Mu Linfeng finished explaining, he immediately rode down the mountain with Li Xin.
Li Xin didn't speak during the whole journey. It wasn't until he was about to enter Yangzhou City that he said to Mu Linfeng, "Mu Shuai doesn't know who Zhou Yanru is?"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said: "The name is somewhat impressive, but I can't remember who it is!"
Li Xindao: "Zhou Yanru is now the chief minister of the imperial court, and Mu Shuai doesn't know that?"
Mu Linfeng naturally knew Zhou Yanru, and also knew that he was the chief minister of the imperial court. Documents recorded that Zhou Yan was a smart and intelligent person who was good at observing people's words and emotions. He was also a greedy and lustful person. He once almost delayed his appointment because of a woman.
, it was only after Zhang Fu dissuaded him that he arrived in time.
Moreover, Zhou Yanru once won the trust of Chongzhen, but later he was expelled from the capital because he offended Wen Tiren. He did not re-enter the court until 1641 and became the chief minister.
And listening to what Li Xin said, it was only the end of 1640, and Zhou Yanru had already taken over the power of the government again.
Mu Linfeng smiled when he heard this and said, "I really don't know. Maybe Mr. Zhou's visit this time has the same purpose as Mr. Li's previous visit?"
The purpose of Mu Linfeng's words was firstly to test Li Xin's reaction, and secondly to stimulate Li Xin. Li Xin would naturally tell Li Zicheng about this, so Li Zicheng would definitely do something big after he got the firearm.
Sure enough, Li Xin's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he said: "If this is really the case, what are Mu Shuai's preparations?"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly when he heard this, and pretended to be surprised: "Mu doesn't understand what Mr. Li means. There is business here, so Mu is naturally..."
Li Xin didn't wait for Mu Linfeng to finish speaking, and immediately said: "Mu Shuai, don't forget that now, Mu Shuai, you are a rebel of the Ming Dynasty. If you sell the firearms to the imperial court, I'm afraid the imperial court will take it seriously as Mu Shuai said and will turn it around."
The muzzle is..."
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Mr. Li is afraid that after Mu sells the firearm to the imperial court, the imperial court will be the first to use it against your invading army, right?"
Li Xin laughed when he heard this and said: "Mu Shuai is really thoughtful. Yes, Li is worried about this, but what Li said is really for Mu Shuai's sake..."
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for worrying. This matter is just an inference between you and me. Whether Zhou Yanru came to come to Mu for a reason or Mu will find out after he meets Zhou Yanru... Li
Sir, at noon tomorrow, Mu will naturally arrange your goods properly, Mr. Li can take care of himself and don’t worry!”
As he spoke, Mu Linfeng immediately whipped up his horse whip and ran into Yangzhou City. He ran all the way to the gate of Mu Mansion, then jumped off his horse and entered Mu Mansion.
After Mu Linfeng entered the Mu Mansion, he immediately went to the study and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar who was nearly half a century old sitting in the study, with two strong men behind him.
Mu Linfeng knew that the Confucian scholar was Zhou Yanru. He was well-dressed, with a strand of flowing black hair and clear facial features. Although there was a frown on his face, he still looked high-spirited.
As soon as Zhou Yanru saw Mu Linfeng entering the door, he immediately stood up, raised his hands to Mu Linfeng and said: "Mu Shuai, I'm here next week to Yanru!"
Mu Linfeng nodded slightly when he heard this, then sat down at the desk and said: "Master Zhou is the chief minister of the imperial court, so you have time to come to my little Yangzhou?"
When Zhou Yanru heard this, he quickly raised his hands above his head and said, "I have been ordered by the emperor to come here to pay homage to Mu Shuai!"
Mu Linfeng said: "Your Majesty? Why did the Emperor ask Mr. Zhou to come?"
Zhou Yanru then took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms and said loudly: "The imperial edict is issued, Mu Linfeng receives the edict!"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he laughed and said to Zhou Yanru: "Master Zhou, it seems that you don't know Mu's identity. Did you just say that you asked Mu to accept the order?"
Zhou Yanru's expression changed when he heard this, and regardless of whether Mu Linfeng knelt down to accept the order, he read out to himself and said: "By God's destiny, the emperor decreed that Mu Linfeng was originally a loyal and martyr to the Ming Dynasty, but he did not want to serve the country, and actually went with Long
Qingfeng and a group of bandits captured the capital city of our Ming Dynasty, and captured the four counties of Fenglu and Yanghuai. This crime was extremely heinous and should have implicated all the nine tribes and executed them all. However, I remember that your ancestors have contributed to our Ming Dynasty, and I also remember that you are also committing a traitor.
You have been deceived and exploited by others, and the court is in a troubled time. It is the time to employ people. Now I am pardoning Mu Linfeng, who is innocent. If he truly accepts his surrender, I will grant you the title of governor of the four counties of Yanghuai, Fenglu, and I hope you will deeply appreciate me.
Remembering the immortal merits of your ancestors, imitating your ancestors and serving the imperial court, I admire this!"
After Zhou Yanru read out Chongzhen's imperial edict, he saw that Mu Linfeng was still sitting there, motionless, so he put the imperial edict away, stepped forward, and handed it to Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng did not reach out to pick it up, but just laughed and said: "So Mr. Zhou is here to recruit the Minister of Security?"
Zhou Yanru hurriedly said: "The emperor has been so kind to us, let's forget the past. Mu Shuai should be grateful for the grace, repent and rehabilitate, repay the Ming Dynasty, and repay the emperor's kindness of not killing..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he immediately slapped the table and looked at Zhou Yanru coldly. Zhou Yanru was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back and even the imperial edict in his hand fell to the ground.
Mu Linfeng sneered and said: "The emperor really mistook me, Mu Linfeng, for a three-year-old child. Now that Mu has captured the four counties of Fenglu in Yanghuai, will the imperial court let bygones be bygones?"
When Zhou Yanru heard this, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he kept saying: "Of course, the emperor's imperial edict made it clear..."
Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "That's because the imperial court is no longer what it used to be. The emperor just wants to lend my hand to help him get rid of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the like!"
Zhou Yanru said quickly: "The ancestor of Mu Shuai was Mu Ying. Back then he..."
Mu Linfeng patted the table and said, "Don't tell me about your ancestors..."
Zhou Yanru immediately fell silent after hearing this, but saw Mu Linfeng look at him coldly at first, then his expression slowly softened, and he smiled slightly and said: "If Mr. Zhou has nothing else to do, just stay in Yangzhou for a few more days... Mu still has
If it’s important, I won’t accompany you…”
Mu Linfeng stood up as he spoke, but Zhou Yanru said quickly: "Then what does Mu Shuai mean, so that I can give Zhou an accurate answer and give the emperor an answer..."
Mu Linfeng sneered: "Master Zhou is such a shrewd person, haven't you noticed that Mu has already given you and the emperor the answer?"
Zhou Yanru heard this and said, "Shuai Mu has made up his mind. Will he become an enemy of the imperial court?"
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this and said: "Being an enemy of the imperial court? Hasn't Mu always been like this?"
Zhou Yanru's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then he said: "In this case, Zhou has no choice but to report the truth to the emperor..."
Mu Linfeng said calmly: "Okay, by the way, there is one more thing that I believe Mr. Zhou doesn't know yet..."
Zhou Yanru heard this and said curiously: "I wonder what Mu Shuai is talking about?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Li Xin, whom Li Zicheng from the northwest admires, is in Yangzhou..."
Zhou Yanru's expression changed when he heard this and said, "Li Xin is in Yangzhou?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Master Zhou, don't be nervous. Li Xin is not here to win over Mu. However, Master Zhou should have heard about the power of the firearms in Mu's hands. Li Xin came here this time to show off to Mu."
Those who purchase firearms…”
Zhou Yanru's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "Shuai Mu's words are serious!"
Mu Linfeng laughed and said quickly: "Mu has the intention and necessity to use this matter to deceive Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou can also report this matter to the emperor..."
Zhou Yanru was silent for a long time, then sat aside, thinking a little, and said no more.
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly, then stood up, walked to Zhou Yanru and sat down and said: "Master Zhou, although Mu is a loyal and martyr to the Ming Dynasty, he has never made any contribution to the Ming Dynasty. Now I will tell Zhou Yanru about this matter."
Sir, this is just a little thought for the imperial court..."
Zhou Yanru sat aside, his face changed for a moment, and he thought to himself: "You sold firearms to the rebels, and you said you were doing your best for the court. You are so shameless, you can't say it..."
Zhou Yanru thought this in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud. He only heard him ask Mu Linfeng: "I wonder how many firearms Li Xin bought from Mu Shuai this time!"
Mu Linfeng said: "To be honest with Mr. Zhou, Li Xin bought a total of 10,000 muskets and a hundred artillery pieces this time... I believe that even if Mr. Zhou has never seen it, he should have heard about how powerful Mu's firearms are. I'm afraid
Once the intruders get this batch of firearms, the situation in the northwest will change drastically..."
Zhou Yanru heard this, sweating like rain on his forehead, and said with trembling fear in his heart: "Not only will the northwest undergo great changes, I'm afraid the world will also undergo great changes..."
Zhou Yanru calmed down for a moment, then turned to Mu Linfeng and said, "I wonder at what price Mu Shuai sold these 10,000 muskets and 100 cannons to Chuang Jun?"
Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "What? Mr. Zhou also wants to buy firearms? Could it be that Mr. Zhou is also willing to rebel against the court? When and where does Mr. Zhou want to raise troops? When the time comes, let Mu know, and Mu will definitely help Zhou.
Sir, give me a helping hand!"
As Mu Linfeng spoke, he looked at the change in Zhou Yanru's face and finished his words in one breath without giving Zhou Yanru a chance to speak.
As soon as Mu Linfeng spoke, Zhou Yanru said: "When will Zhou rebel against the imperial court? Zhou is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor..."
Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "Master Zhou, don't be nervous, Mu is just joking..."
After hearing this, Zhou Yanru breathed a sigh of relief and said: "How can this matter be a joke? Zhou..."
Mu Linfeng said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou, what's the use of showing your loyalty in front of Mu? Aren't you afraid that Mu will kill you right now?"
Zhou Yanru was shocked when he heard this. He was about to speak when he heard Mu Linfeng say: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, Mu won't kill you. It's okay to tell you the price..." He raised a finger.
.
Zhou Yanru looked at it and said tremblingly: "What? One hundred thousand taels?"
Mu Linfeng laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "A hundred thousand taels? Mr. Zhou is really good at joking. Do you know how many cities they can capture with these firearms once they are in the hands of the Chuang Army? Is it only worth a hundred thousand taels?
?”
Zhou Yanru swallowed his saliva and said, "Did Mu Shuai mean one million taels?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Yes, Mu originally planned to ask for two million taels, but the order that Nian Zai Chuangjun placed was his first business, so Mu made an exception and gave him a half price. If he buys again in the future, the price will be lower.
For two million taels, Mu will not even see you!"
Zhou Yanru heard this and immediately said: "I wonder if Mu Shuai can take the order from the imperial court?"
Mu Linfeng pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Could it be that Mr. Zhou wants to place an order for the imperial court?"
Zhou Yanru couldn't help but nodded and said: "Since Mu Shuai told Zhou about Li Zicheng's purchase of firearms, doesn't he hope that Zhou will report it to the court and let the court buy it?"
Mu Linfeng's expression changed when he heard this, and he thought to himself: "You old boy are not stupid either!" He said: "Yes, that's what Mu meant. Mu is more greedy for money, but Mr. Zhou doesn't need to tell the emperor about this.
, after the chaos in the northwest, the emperor will naturally know about it!"
Zhou Yanru immediately said: "Mu Shuai doesn't have to think about him. Zhou just asked Mu Shuai about this order. Will Mu Shuai accept it or not?"
Mu Linfeng laughed loudly and said: "Yes, of course I did. Mr. Zhou also said just now that Mu told Mr. Zhou about Li Xin's purchase of firearms. He also hoped that the court would know and that the emperor would know that Mu was not so kind.
Inform the emperor to be on guard, not to mention that even if you want to guard against it, you can't guard against it... As long as you have money, Mu will certainly take it..."
As he spoke, Mu Linfeng turned around and looked at Zhou Yanru, and whispered: "But I'm afraid, Mr. Zhou, you can't make the decision, right?"
Zhou Yanru smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about Mu Shuai, as long as Mu Shuai is willing to take this order, Zhou can be the master!"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he patted the table and said, "Okay, since Mr. Zhou can make the decision, Mu will take over this order... I wonder how many muskets and artillery pieces Mr. Zhou is going to ask for?"
Zhou Yanru pondered for a while and said: "Fifty thousand muskets and five hundred artillery pieces!"
Mu Linfeng's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said: "Master Zhou's appetite is too big, isn't it? Master Zhou, are you really the one in charge of such a huge firearm?"
Zhou Yanru smiled slightly and said: "Zhou said, now that Zhou has spoken, he can make the decision.
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "That's right, that's right. Now Mr. Zhou is the chief minister of the imperial court and is in charge of the power of the imperial court. However, these 50,000 muskets and 500 artillery pieces cost 10 million taels of silver..."
Zhou Yanru heard this and said quickly: "Didn't Mu Shuai just say that Li Xin's ten thousand muskets and one hundred cannons are one million taels? According to this calculation, the firearms Zhou mentioned are only five times as many as Li Zicheng's.
Then the price should be five million taels, why is it 10 million taels? Mu Shuai is kidding, right?"
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this and said: "Master Zhou took it out of context. Mu said so, but Mu also said that it was because Chuangjun's order was the first one, so Mu made an exception...
"
Zhou Yanru smiled slightly and said: "As for how much it costs to produce firearms, Zhou will not make any guesses. Mu Shuai knows better than Zhou, but Zhou is sure that this is a huge profit... Besides, Mu Shuai, please forget it.
Let’s take a look at the accounts. The amount we want is five times that of Li Zicheng. Our Ming Dynasty’s army is more than 50,000. In the future, as long as the emperor knows the beauty of firearms, he will definitely want to buy them from Mu Shuai again. This long-term profit will not be used
Now that silver can be accounted for, I’m afraid we have to use gold?”
.
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he was silent for a long time. Originally, the firearm was sold to Li Xin for less than one million taels, but he just raised the price. Moreover, Mu Linfeng deliberately said that if he traded in the future, the price would have to be doubled, which was just to Zhou Yanru.
Listen, it makes him anxious.
Mu Linfeng pretended to be embarrassed and said in an extremely genuine tone: "Mu naturally knows this long-term benefit. Even if it is five million taels, it is not a small amount. Mr. Zhou, do you really have the final say?"
Zhou Yanru laughed and said: "Mu Shuai, there is no need for Zhou to emphasize this again, right? If Mu Shuai accepts this order, Zhou will write the memorial immediately and it can be sent to the capital today. Within ten days,
The emperor will definitely allocate money..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he thought to himself: "It is said that the two Northeastern sergeants in Chongzhen are in arrears with their military pay. These five million taels can be allocated so easily. I really think I am a fool..."
Mu Linfeng turned to Zhou Yanru and said: "Okay, Mu believes that Mr. Zhou really made the decision, but since it is a business, Mr. Zhou should know the rules in the business world. This order requires a deposit..."
Zhou Yanru smiled and said: "Of course Zhou knows, but the amount of deposit required by Mu Shuai is..."
Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "Since Mr. Zhou knows the rules, if you place half of this order, which is five million taels, you will naturally need to pay a deposit of two and a half million taels in advance!"
Zhou Yanru's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he murmured: "Two million and a half million taels?"
When Mu Linfeng saw Zhou Yanru's expression of embarrassment, he immediately said, "Master Zhou, you should think it over carefully before talking to Mu about this matter!"
Zhou Yanru said quickly: "No, no, Zhou will report to the emperor on his own, but with the deposit of two million and a half million taels, is there any room left?"
After hearing the words, Mu Linfeng pondered for a long time and then said: "Master Zhou, your memorial stated two and a half million taels, but Mu's room for maneuver is only 500,000 taels. Master Zhou, you should know..."
As Mu Linfeng spoke, he glanced at the two big men behind Zhou Yanru. Zhou Yanru immediately understood and said to the two big men: "You guys get out first!"
After the two sweaters left the study, Mu Linfeng said in a low voice: "If Mr. Zhou can complete this transaction, Mu can give Mr. Zhou a 10% commission..."
Zhou Yanru's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said continuously: "Mu Shuai, who do you think Mr. Zhou is? Now that the country is facing a national crisis, how can Mr. Zhou..."
Mu Linfeng laughed heartily and said: "Mu certainly knows who you are, Mr. Zhou, otherwise how could Zhou and Mr. Zhou be so confidant to each other?"
When Zhou Yanru heard what Mu Linfeng said, his face suddenly showed embarrassment. He was silent for a while and then said: "Okay, Zhou will report this matter to the court... But with this deposit, Zhou wants to..."
Mu Linfeng laughed loudly when he heard this, and quickly stood up and patted Zhou Yanru on the shoulder, smiling and saying: "I understand, I understand, Mu has already said that Mr. Zhou is the one who knows how to do things. The court has you, Mr. Zhou Yanru, Mr. Zhou, so what?
It is the blessing of the imperial court..."
After hearing this, Zhou Yanru knew that Mu Linfeng was not telling the truth, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "That's it, it's settled..." After saying that, he stood up, patted his clothes, raised his hands to Mu Linfeng and said, "That's it.
Zhou said goodbye and went back to write the memorial..."
Mu Linfeng waved his hand quickly and said: "Okay, then Mu won't give it away!",
Zhou Yanru hurriedly said goodbye and exited the study.
Mu Linfeng waited for Zhou Yanru to leave, then walked to the side, picked up the imperial edict on the ground, unfolded it, took a look, then laughed and threw the edict aside.
But at this moment, a servant from outside the study came to report: "Master, Mr. Zhong Tian from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, Mr. Zhong wants to see you!"
Mu Linfeng immediately said: "Please come in, Mr. Zhong!"
As soon as Mu Linfeng finished speaking, he saw Zhong Tian entering the study. Mu Linfeng immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Brother!"
Zhong Tian quickly raised his hands and returned the greeting: "Linfeng, why do you want to see Mr. Zhong?"
After Mu Linfeng quickly asked Zhong Tian to sit down, he said: "Brother, I don't remember that Linfeng told you before that there will be a batch of goods that will be transported to the northwest by the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau soon..."
When Zhong Tian heard this, he immediately became energetic and said quickly: "Not bad, not bad, could it be..."
Mu Linfeng said: "Yes, before noon tomorrow, Linfeng will transport the goods to Big Brother's Escort Bureau. Then Brother will be busy!"
Zhong Tian hurriedly said: "Where, Linfeng, you are giving me the escort business now. Someone in the middle has money to make, so why bother?"
Mu Linfeng laughed, and then asked: "By the way, brother, I wonder if Nanping is in Zhong Mansion recently?"
Zhong Tian smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "This girl from Nanping always misses you, Linfeng. The last time you sneaked out, your father found out and scolded you..."
Mu Linfeng's heart shuddered when he heard the words, and he was about to speak when he heard Zhong Tian wave his hand quickly and said: "Linfeng, don't be anxious. Since my father has agreed to your marriage, he will naturally not embarrass Nanping, but I'm afraid he will in the near future.
I won’t let Nanping go out again... Oh, by the way, Linfeng, when will you capture Jinling, so that Zhu Yousong can write a letter of divorce as soon as possible and put an end to my father’s thoughts..."
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "I am more anxious than you are!" But he said: "The time to capture Jinling has not come yet, I'm afraid we will have to wait some more time!"
After hearing the words, Zhong Tian pondered for a while and said with a smile: "That's because Zhong is anxious, but someone in the military doesn't understand these military affairs, so Linfeng should take charge of it himself!"
Mu Linfeng nodded, and then said: "By the way, tomorrow's cargo is very important. Big brother also needs to know that the most capable escort in the escort agency will escort it..."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tian immediately said: "Since it is so important, of course Zhong will escort it personally!"
Mu Linfeng patted Zhong Tian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's the best!"
Mu Linfeng then exchanged some pleasantries with Zhong Tian about Zhong Nanping, and then Zhong Tian left the Mu Mansion and went back to the Escort Bureau to prepare for tomorrow's matters.
In the evening, just as Mu Linfeng was about to go to Meixiang Tower, Zhou Yanru came to visit Mu Mansion again.
Mu Linfeng had no choice but to lead Zhou Yanru to the study again. Zhou Yanru waited until the study door was closed, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "Mu Shuai, Zhou's memorial has been sent to the capital by fast horse. I believe it will be delivered to the capital soon."
There is an answer!”
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this and said, "Master Zhou is really vigorous and resolute in his work!"
Zhou Yanru smiled and said: "Zhou is also thinking about the imperial court. If chaos really breaks out in the northwest, the imperial court will be attacked from both the east and west. How can Zhou not be anxious?"
Mu Linfeng heard this and said to himself: "You are also anxious to get the commission of the five hundred thousand taels!" He said: "Master Zhou is loyal to the country. This is the blessing of the court and the emperor!"
Zhou Yanru smiled slightly and said, "I wonder when Li Zicheng's firearms will be shipped to northern Shaanxi?"
When Mu Linfeng heard what Zhou Yanru said, his heart trembled, and he said: "If I told you, couldn't you tell the court and ask the court to investigate along the way? You would have done a good job, and all my plans would be ruined!"
Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng immediately said: "Oh, it hasn't been produced yet, I'm afraid it will take about half a month!"
Zhou Yanru nodded when he heard this, and asked Mu Linfeng: "Then if Mu Shuai receives the deposit, how long will it take for the imperial court's firearms to be completed?"
Mu Linfeng pondered for a while and said: "Three months!"
Zhou Yanru's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly said: "Three months? If so, I'm afraid Li Zicheng will attack the capital!"
Mu Linfeng nodded slightly and said: "That's true, then Mu asked the workers to work as quickly as possible and complete it within two months!"
Zhou Yanru said repeatedly: "No, no, Zhou has already stated in the memorial that the goods will be delivered within fifty days..."
After hearing the words, Mu Linfeng pondered for a while and said: "Okay, Mu will complete it within fifty days!"
Zhou Yanru then smiled and said, "It will be easier for you and me to get along!"
Mu Linfeng laughed and said, "That's Mr. Zhou, it's a good job for you!"
Zhou Yanru smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "Now that we've finished talking about official matters, it's time to talk about private matters!"
Mu Linfeng asked curiously: "Private matter?"
Zhou Yanru looked at the door of the study room, then approached Mu Linfeng and whispered: "Zhou heard that Liu Rushi from Meixiang Tower in Yangzhou is a rare beauty in the world. I wonder if this is the case?
"
Mu Linfeng's heart trembled when he heard this, and he cursed secretly: "By the way, I almost forgot, your grandfather is also a womanizer, and you want to steal a woman from me!"
Mu Linfeng thought this in his heart, but said calmly: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, are you interested in Miss Liu?"
Zhou Yanru hurriedly said: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so kind, but the servants around Zhou are all the emperor's people, and they are always with Zhou. It is not very convenient for Zhou, so he took the opportunity to talk to Mu Shuai on official matters.
, now I have time to get away, I wonder if Mu Shuai can give me a favor tonight, how about Zhou invite Mu Shuai and Meixiang Pavilion to get together?"
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "Can your grandfather be considered a gentleman? But speaking of which, I haven't seen Liu Rushi for a long time. Why not take this opportunity and go to Meixiang Tower to meet him? There is such an old pervert.
On the side, it can still reflect my demeanor as a gentleman, isn't it..."
Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng quickly smiled and said: "That's fine, since Mr. Zhou is so elegant, let Mu be the host today!"
After Mu Linfeng and Zhou Yanru arrived at Meixiang Tower, Li Fangyi was greeting the guests at other tables. When she saw Mu Linfeng coming, she immediately smiled at Mu Linfeng, and then she saw Zhou Yanru next to Mu Linfeng, and she couldn't help but frown.
Mu Linfeng smiled and said to Zhou Yanru: "There is a private room upstairs. Mr. Zhou, please come upstairs!"
At this time, Li Fangyi asked two maids to take Mu Linfeng up to the second floor, opened a private room, and then brought drinks and snacks.
As soon as Zhou Yanru sat down, he said to his maid: "Let Miss Liu Rushi take care of you!"
The maid replied respectfully: "Miss Liu is greeting the guests, I'm afraid..."
Zhou Yanru's expression changed when he heard this, and he immediately took out a banknote from his arms, slapped it on the table, and shouted: "Is it possible that my banknote is fake..."
The maid was immediately frightened and at a loss, but at this moment she heard someone laughing and said: "Sir, how could your bank note be fake? Besides, Mr. Mu is here..."
Mu Linfeng recognized Li Fangyi's voice and smiled slightly but said nothing.
Zhou Yanru turned his head and looked out the door, and saw Li Fangyi walking into the room. Li Fangyi was wearing a yellow shirt. She danced slightly as she walked, looking a little elegant. Zhou Yanru's face immediately turned into a smile and said: "Oh? This one
The girl is..."
When Li Fangyi heard this, she immediately covered her mouth with the fan in her hand and said with a smile: "Girl? The guest officer is really good at talking..."
Mu Linfeng glared at Zhou Yanru from behind and cursed secretly: "You old pervert..." Then he blew a kiss at Li Fangyi.
Li Fangyi turned a blind eye and immediately sat aside.
Mu Linfeng quickly smiled and said: "Master Zhou, this is the proprietress of Meixiang House, known as Aunt Li!"
Zhou Yanru was speechless after hearing this: "Aunt Li? This is a bad name. It makes girls look old..."
Zhou Yanru said that he had already extended his hand to Li Fangyi's hand. Li Fangyi did not refuse. Zhou Yanru played with it and said with a smile: "Then what does Master Zhou think I should be called?"
Zhou Yanru was already salivating when he saw Li Fangyi's charm. He forgot about looking for Liu Rushi in the future. He looked at Li Fangyi with a smile and said with a smile: "Of course the name is Li Da... This... Li Da is beautiful...
Ha ha……"
Li Fangyi smiled when she heard this and said: "Thanks to Mr. Zhou for your love..."
Zhou Yanru touched Li Fangyi's jade hand and said with a smile: "Where, where, Zhou always says something..."
Mu Linfeng watched with anger, and then he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou has always been like this. He is a famous minister in front of the Ming Emperor. This... As the saying goes, the dead man advises,
A fight to the death... Mr. Zhou is a world-famous traitor... that mean minister..."
Zhou Yanru laughed when he heard this. Although he also knew that what Mu Linfeng said was not true at all, it sounded particularly helpful. While touching Li Fangyi's hand, he smiled and said: "Yes, the Holy Father also said that I, Zhou Yanru, is a powerful person both inside and outside the imperial court."
, the only remonstrator who dares to speak out in front of the Holy Emperor..."
Seeing that Zhou Yanru didn't hear the homophony, Mu Linfeng laughed and hugged Li Fangyi over. Then he gently touched Li Fangyi's face and said with a smile: "Why, Aunt Li only cares about entertaining Mr. Zhou and ignores me."
Are you handsome?" He said and kissed Li Fangyi on the face.
Seeing this, Zhou Yanru's face changed slightly, and then he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, Mu Shuai can be said to have the wind and rain in Yangzhou. Miss Li, if you want to gain a foothold in Yangzhou, you must also
After doing well, Mu Shuai will be the one..."
Li Fangyi was hugged by Mu Linfeng, but she pinched Mu Linfeng's thigh with her hands, and said with a smile: "That's it, that's it, Fangyi still needs to rely on Mu Shuai!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yanru straightened his clothes a little, and then said: "By the way, Miss Li, today Zhou is here for Miss Liu Rushi. You won't let Zhou come here in joy and return disappointed, right?"
Li Fangyi quickly pushed Mu Linfeng away, stood up, filled a glass of wine for Zhou Yanru, and said: "Miss Liu does have a guest at the moment, this... Fangyi punished herself with a drink, and on behalf of Miss Liu, I will apologize to Lord Zhou for not having done it first..."
"
Zhou Yanru snorted coldly and said, "Even if Miss Liu doesn't give face to Zhou, she should give face to Mu Linfeng and Mu Shuai..."
After hearing this, Li Fangyi poured herself a glass of wine, raised it and looked at Mu Linfeng, saying: "Mr. Mu, are you so anxious to see Miss Liu?"
Mu Linfeng waved his hands repeatedly and said: "That's not true. Mu is in Yangzhou and can meet Miss Liu anytime. There is no rush..."
As he spoke, Mu Linfeng glanced at Zhou Yanru who was standing aside, and then added: "But Mr. Zhou still has official duties, and it is not very convenient to come to Yangzhou. I'm afraid that if Mr. Zhou doesn't see Miss Liu today, it will be even harder to see her again in the future...
"
Zhou Yanru kept echoing from the side: "Not bad, not bad..."
Li Fangyi took advantage of Zhou Yanru not paying attention to her, rolled her eyes at Mu Linfeng, and then said: "Then Fangyi will go see Miss Liu now. If Miss Liu refuses to come, Fangyi will not be able to do anything..."
He placed the wine glass heavily on the table, turned around and walked out of the side room.
Zhou Yanru was startled when he saw this, and murmured: "This landlady has quite a temper..."
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "It's good to have a temper, that kind of gentleness and considerateness. I see a lot of people coming to my door. Occasionally, a red pepper can also appetize..." He touched his chin and pondered in his heart: "Is it possible?
Is Fangyi angry with me?"
When Zhou Yanru heard what Mu Linfeng said, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "So Mu Shuai has such a taste, it's really unique... Haha..."
Mu Linfeng frowned and looked at Zhou Yanru, an old pervert, and smiled lewdly, then suddenly slapped the table with a stern expression.
Seeing Mu Linfeng's sudden behavior, Zhou Yanru didn't know what he said wrongly. He looked at Mu Linfeng blankly, not daring to say anything for a moment.
Mu Linfeng suddenly burst out laughing: "Mr. Zhou, you have seen through Mu's point... Haha..."
Zhou Yanru secretly said from the side: "You scared me to death!" But he said with an embarrassed smile: "That's, that's..."
But at this moment, Li Fangyi walked in from outside the room. Zhou Yanru looked around and found that there were others behind Li Fangyi, so he whispered: "What did Miss Liu say?"
Li Fangyi quickly bowed to Zhou Yanru and said, "Master Zhou, I'm really sorry. Miss Liu has guests there and I really don't have time to get away..."
Zhou Yanru's expression immediately changed when he heard this, and then he took out a stack of one hundred taels of silver notes from his arms, threw it on the table, and sneered: "I'm afraid I can buy your Meixiang House with this stack of notes."
, Zhou just wants to see Miss Liu, but this is not possible?"
Li Fangyi's expression changed when she heard this, and she was about to speak when she saw Mu Linfeng slowly stand up, walk to Li Fangyi, slowly pick up Zhou Yanru's banknotes that were still on the table one by one, and said with a smile: "Zhou Yanru
Sir, don't be angry, you already have about 10,000 taels of silver, right? Why bother for a woman who doesn't know how to appreciate you?"
Zhou Yanru said coldly: "Zhou has never seen a woman before. Since she is selling it, she will naturally sell it at a high price. Zhou also understands that this is not giving them money to give them face..."
Mu Linfeng laughed, then folded a stack of banknotes, walked to Zhou Yanru, stuffed the banknotes into Zhou Yanru's arms, then lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou just said to sell?"
Seeing Mu Linfeng acting like this, Zhou Yanru didn't understand why. He just felt that Mu Linfeng's character was too difficult to figure out. He looked different from moment to moment. He had no idea what he was thinking. He stammered: "This...is...that's why Zhou is like this."
explain……"
Upon hearing this, Mu Linfeng immediately placed his palms on the table. There was a bang, and the wine utensils and rice bowls on the table jumped up one after another. Zhou Yanru was startled and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Mu Linfeng supported Zhou Yanru so that Zhou Yanru would not be embarrassed in public.
But Mu Linfeng suddenly turned around and shouted to Li Fangyi: "Yes, Mr. Zhou is right, this Liu Rushi's eyes are too high, Boss Li!" As Mu Linfeng spoke, he winked at Li Fangyi repeatedly.
Li Fangyi immediately understood and said quickly: "Yes, yes, I have already told Miss Liu, but..."
Mu Linfeng immediately turned back to Zhou Yanru and said: "Well, it's no wonder. Miss Liu is the top girl in Meixiang Tower, so naturally she can't meet guests at will. Let's do this. Mr. Zhou will wait here for a while, and Mu will go in person.
How about inviting Miss Liu here?"
Zhou Yanru was scared to death by Mu Linfeng just now, and after hearing what Mu Linfeng said, he kept saying: "Okay, okay, Mu Shuai personally takes action, of course it's fine..."
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said, "But Master Zhou, can you take back what you just said?"
Zhou Yanru's heart trembled when he heard this, and he asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou is such a noble man who forgets things so much, so Mu will tell you something first..."
Zhou Yanru was already frightened and said quickly: "What's the matter?"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly, lowered his head and said to Zhou Yanru: "In fact, Mu is the boss of Meixiang Tower..." He walked out of the wing without looking back.
.
Zhou Yanru's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately looked outside the room, then looked at Li Fangyi.
Li Fangyi didn't expect Mu Linfeng to say that he was the boss of Meixiang Building, and then she understood that Mu Linfeng didn't just want to protect her.
Zhou Yanru sat with his face changing constantly. After being silent for a long time, he stood up and cupped his hands to Li Fangyi and said: "It turns out that Meixiang Building is the property of Mu Shuai. Just now Zhou said something inappropriate. Please don't take it seriously, Miss Li."
…”
Li Fangyi smiled slightly and said: "What did Mr. Zhou say? When we open the Meixiang Building for business, we naturally welcome people with a smile. What did Mr. Zhou just say? But Fangyi doesn't remember anything..."
Zhou Yanru smiled awkwardly, his heart burning like a fire, and thought to himself: "If this Meixiang Tower really belongs to Mu Linfeng, what I just said is indeed... Mu Linfeng's temper has changed for a moment, look at him
For the sake of the big order from the imperial court, don’t take it personally..."
Li Fangyi glanced at Zhou Yanru and then said: "Master Zhou is here later, Fangyi went to see what happened to Mr. Mu and Miss Liu..."
Mu Linfeng had already walked outside Liu Rushi's room. Looking at the candlelight in the room, he pondered in his heart: "Who is in Liu Rushi's room? This Liu Rushi is so proud of himself that he can accept guests so easily.
Woolen cloth?"
Mu Linfeng was hesitating when he saw Li Fangyi coming over, taking Mu Linfeng's hand aside, and then whispered: "Did you just say that you are the boss here?"
Mu Linfeng snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that Fangyi, you like being looked at like this by that old pervert?"
Li Fangyi's expression changed when she heard this, and said: "Do you think Fangyi likes this? Isn't this how we open our doors for business..."
Mu Linfeng said in a cold voice: "Didn't Linfeng tell you not to do it..." Seeing that Li Fangyi's face looked a little strange, he quickly changed the subject and said: "Oh, by the way, who is the guest in Liu Rushi's room?
"
Li Fangyi said in a deep voice: "Anyway, you'd better not go in. Fangyi also knows that you like Liu Rushi. Since you do, you still let Liu Rushi go see that pervert?"
Mu Linfeng smiled when he heard this, took Li Fangyi's hand and said, "How could I like Liu Rushi? Fangyi, are you too worried?"
Li Fangyi sneered, broke away from Mu Linfeng's hand, and said: "Don't forget that Fangyi has been in this world of mortals for so many years, and she still has some eyesight..."
Mu Linfeng did not deny it, and then said: "Zhou Yanru is a big client of Mu, so we can't offend him yet..."
Li Fangyi laughed when she heard this and said: "Don't you dare to offend? Mr. Zhou was scared to the point of losing seven souls and three souls by you just now. Although Fangyi still doesn't know what the hell you are planning, but tonight Liu Rushi's
I have the final say..."
Mu Linfeng naturally didn't want Liu Rushi to be taken advantage of by that old pervert Zhou Yanru, but there was someone else in Liu Rushi's room at the moment, and Mu Linfeng didn't know who it was, so wasn't he afraid of being taken advantage of by someone in the room?
Mu Linfeng said in a deep voice: "Fangyi, don't mess around, Liu Rushi is here to be seen by Mu tonight!" As he said that, Mu Linfeng walked to the door of Liu Rushi's room and pushed the door open.
Li Fangyi stepped forward to stop her, but she never had time.
Mu Linfeng looked into the room and saw Liu Rushi with a surprised look on his face, while the man beside him was also horrified and stood up and looked at the door.
Mu Linfeng looked at the man and couldn't help but be stunned. The man standing next to Liu Rushi turned out to be Chen Zilong.
Li Fangyi quickly stepped forward and pulled Mu Linfeng, and said to Liu Rushi and Chen Zilong: "Mr. Mu drank a few more glasses..."
Mu Linfeng's face was very ugly. To say that Chen Zilong should be in Huai'an, how could he appear in Meixiang Tower? This is not what makes Mu Linfeng the most angry. What makes Mu Linfeng most angry is that he tried every means to deliberately transfer Chen Zilong.
When I went to Huai'an, I just didn't want to see this scene. However, this scene did not happen because of Mu Linfeng's deliberate arrangement.
Chen Zilong's face was also very ugly, and he quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Mu Shuai...I..."
Mu Linfeng snorted coldly and said, "When did Brother Zilong come back? Why didn't you even notify Mu?"
Chen Zilong saw that Mu Linfeng's expression was wrong, and he quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, saying: "Chen is guilty. He left Huai'an without authorization and failed to live up to your expectations, Mu Shuai!"
Mu Linfeng immediately stood and glanced at Liu Rushi, who was standing aside looking at him in surprise, then slowly walked into the room and sat aside.
Li Fangyi followed Mu Linfeng into the room and closed the door immediately.
Mu Linfeng looked at Chen Zilong who was kneeling on the ground. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Brother Zilong, why are you doing this? If you don't like your current job, you can tell Mu directly..."
Chen Zilong quickly said: "No, agricultural reform is Chen's long-cherished wish in his life. How could Chen not like it? Chen just... Chen just..."
As he spoke, Chen Zilong raised his head slightly and glanced at Liu Rushi beside him.
Mu Linfeng naturally understood why Chen Zilong came back. He must not be able to bear the pain of lovesickness, but he was afraid that Mu Linfeng would know about it, so he had to secretly go back to Yangzhou. Mu Linfeng was secretly glad that fortunately Zhou Yanru was coming to Meixiang Tower today.
, otherwise he wouldn’t know about it.
Liu Rushi then slowly walked up to Chen Zilong and reached out to help him up, but Chen Zilong was still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to move.
Liu Rushi turned to Mu Linfeng and said: "Mr. Mu, even if Zilong is at fault, it's not like this. Besides, Zilong also finished what he was doing and only took the time to return to Yangzhou. Could it be because Zilong didn't
Are you going to report it to Mr. Mu?"
Mu Linfeng originally felt that his anger was a bit unreasonable. After all, he liked Liu Rushi himself, and no one else knew about it except Li Fangyi. It was a bit unjustifiable to blame Yu Chen Zilong so much, and he originally wanted to let it go.
But after hearing that Liu Rushi was pleading for Chen Zilong and that her words were reasonable, the guilt in her heart immediately turned into anger.
Mu Linfeng snorted coldly, suppressing his anger and remaining silent.
Seeing this, Li Fangyi naturally understood why Mu Linfeng was acting like this, and said quickly: "This is all a misunderstanding. Mr. Chen finished what he was doing and just took the time to go back to Yangzhou..."
As Li Fangyi spoke, she saw that Mu Linfeng's face looked wrong, so she stood aside and stopped talking.
Chen Zilong knelt aside and said, "It's all Chen's fault. If Mu Shuai wants to punish him, Chen is willing to accept it!"
Mu Linfeng looked at Chen Zilong, and then at Liu Rushi who was standing next to him, and thought: "In the future, the agricultural reform will still have to be implemented by Chen Zilong, and besides, Chen Zilong has indeed done nothing wrong... However, we cannot let him be punished because of this.
He continues to see Liu Rushi..."
Mu Linfeng thought of this, took a deep breath, and quickly stepped forward to help Chen Zilong, sat him down and sat aside, and then said to Chen Zilong seriously: "Brother Zilong, Mu is not blaming you, Mu is just anxious..."
"
Chen Zilong wondered: "Why is Mu Shuai so anxious?"
Mu Linfeng sighed: "Now that Mu has captured Fengyang and Luzhou, these two places also need agricultural reform. Mu is anxious because there are too few agricultural talents like Brother Zilong... We cannot share Mu's burden
What troubles!”
Chen Zilong immediately said after hearing this: "Mu Shuai, don't worry, Chen has almost completed the reform in Huai'an. He can go to Fengyang and Luzhou later..."
Mu Linfeng sighed and said: "Oh, Mu knows that it's you who have been working hard lately, Brother Zilong..."
Chen Zilong said repeatedly: "No, no, this is Chen's long-cherished wish in his life, how can it be hard?"
Mu Linfeng patted Chen Zilong on the shoulder and said: "By the way, Brother Zilong, Mu asked you to find some capable helpers. I don't know how Brother Zilong found them. Brother Zilong can't do everything for you."
Why..."
Chen Zilong said: "Well, there are some good helpers, but they are not mature enough to do things. If Chen doesn't keep an eye on them for a while, he will make mistakes. I'm afraid these guys won't be able to stand alone for a while!"
Mu Linfeng laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Mu just appreciates that Brother Zilong does everything personally, so he is relieved to leave such a big matter of agricultural reform to you, Brother Zilong, to handle it. You see Mu and ask
Brother Zilong, have you ever said anything about reform?"
When Chen Zilong heard this, he quickly offered his hand to Mu Linfeng and said, "It is only because of the support of newcomer Mu Shuai and Dingli that Chen can do things without any worries..."
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "That requires your ability, Brother Zilong... Oh, by the way, Mu Qian just heard about it a while ago that it turns out that Brother Zilong is Mr. Zhang Caizhang's disciple, and he also came from Fushe...
Why have I never heard Brother Zilong mention it before?"
Chen Zilong smiled slightly and said: "Chen has indeed studied with Mr. Zhang Cai for several years, but there is no teacher-student relationship with Mr. Zhang Cai... Sigh... It's hard to describe..."
Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Li Fangyi said to Mu Linfeng: "Mr. Mu, don't forget, you still have guests over there!"
Mu Linfeng glanced at Li Fangyi and said: "Oh, yes, yes, Mu almost forgot!"
Mu Linfeng stood up as he spoke, glanced at Chen Zilong, and then said: "Brother Zilong, it's better to go back and rest early. Mu will have something important to discuss with you tomorrow..."
Chen Zilong also stood up after hearing this, glanced at Liu Rushi on the side, and then cupped his hands to Mu Linfeng and said, "Then Chen will take your leave first..." Then he cupped his hands to Liu Rushi and said, "If...Miss Liu,
Chen said goodbye..."
Liu Rushi looked at Chen Zilong, hesitated to speak, glared at Mu Linfeng who was standing aside, then bowed and saluted Chen Zilong and said: "Mr. Chen, go slowly!"
Chen Zilong then exited the room. Before leaving, he only glanced at Liu Rushi before turning around and leaving.
Li Fangyi saw clearly and knew that Mu Linfeng was jealous at the moment, so she quickly said to Liu Rushi: "Master Chen's affairs are complicated, and Mr. Mu will have something to do with him tomorrow. It's already late, Master Chen should go back and rest..."
"
Hearing this, Liu Rushi glanced at Mu Linfeng and snorted coldly: "Since Mr. Mu has important matters tomorrow, please come back!"
Mu Linfeng knew that Liu Rushi was angry with him for driving Chen Zilong away, so he issued an expulsion order to himself.
Mu Linfeng slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Is the girl angry with me?"
Liu Rushi said coldly: "I don't dare! I'm just tired and want to rest early!"
Mu Linfeng looked at Liu Rushi, slowly approached her, and walked beside her: "Is the girl angry with Mu for letting Brother Zilong go back to rest?"
Liu Rushi snorted coldly, walked to the side and sat down, and stopped talking.
Mu Linfeng suddenly laughed and said, "Is it possible that the girl doesn't know Brother Zilong's long-cherished wish in his life?"
After hearing the words, Liu Rushi raised his head slightly and glanced at Mu Linfeng, but heard Mu Linfeng continue: "Brother Zilong's greatest ideal in life is to completely reform the agriculture of the Ming Dynasty. Now that Mu has given him this opportunity, he should cherish it."
Yes, Mu was angry just now, but Mu was angry that Brother Zilong didn't cherish this opportunity, and she was afraid that he would regret it in the future... Could it be that Miss Liu wanted to see Brother Zilong sighing all day long?"
Liu Rushi's heart trembled when she heard this. She naturally didn't want Chen Zilong to become like that, but since Chen Zilong worked for Mu Linfeng, he rarely saw her. How could she, a female prostitute, bear such pain of lovesickness?
Looking at Mu Linfeng, he was about to speak, but didn't know where to start.
Mu Linfeng said sternly: "When a man is alive, he should make contributions and focus on important things. Now that the world is in chaos, only after great chaos can we achieve great peace. How many years will it take for this to happen? Brother Zilong is an agricultural talent. Don't take advantage of this opportunity."
How can we achieve great things if we have a great career but the love between our children is strong here?"
As Mu Linfeng spoke, he walked up to Liu Rushi and said, "Does Miss Liu hope that her husband will accomplish nothing and waste his promising future?"
Liu Rushi looked at Mu Linfeng and pondered for a long time. She understood what Mu Linfeng said, but her heart wanted to stay with Chen Zilong forever, regardless of whether Chen Zilong did anything.
Mu Linfeng seemed to see what Liu Rushi was thinking, and quickly said to the side: "Maybe Miss Liu, you don't care at all whether your husband is a talented man in the world, but don't you think it is so selfish? You are holding your son in check for your own selfish desires.
Brother Long, don't let him make contributions in these troubled times that only happen once in hundreds of years, and live a mediocre life with you. Maybe Brother Zilong won't say anything with his mouth, but you can be sure that he will do the same in his heart.
Think about it, can you guarantee that she won’t regret it in the future?”
Li Fangyi stood aside and listened to what Mu Linfeng said, and couldn't help but secretly admire Mu Linfeng. She was obviously jealous and didn't want Chen Zilong and Liu Ru to be good to each other, so she deliberately broke them up, but she could still come up with such a high-sounding truth.
Liu Rushi's heart was already in chaos at this moment. Yes, could she guarantee that Chen Zilong would be willing to live an ordinary life with her? This time, she actually wrote a letter and sent it to Huai'an to Chen Zilong, and Chen Zilong came back to Yangzhou to see her.
Mu Linfeng knew that he had almost said what he should say. If he said more, it would be too much, so he handed over to Liu Rushi and said: "Miss Liu, Mu's words may be a bit too much, but everything is for brother Zilong. I hope you can
I can understand...Mu will not hinder the girl from resting, so she takes her leave..."
After Mu Linfeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of Liu Rushi's room, and Liu Rushi also followed him out.
But then I heard Liu Rushi suddenly say: "Mr. Mu, please stay!"
Mu Linfeng turned around slightly and said with a smile: "Miss Liu, what else do you want?"
Liu Rushi said: "If you keep Mr. Mu's words in mind, if you know what to do, Mr. Mu, please rest assured!"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said: "That's very good. Girl, please rest early!" Then he closed the door of Liu Rushi's room.
Mu Linfeng had just closed the door when he heard Li Fangyi on the side sneer: "I didn't expect you to be so good at breaking up with Mr. Mu, it's obviously you..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he quickly covered Li Fangyi's mouth, walked aside, and then let go: "Fang Yi, don't talk nonsense. Mu really said this for the sake of Brother Zilong!"
Li Fangyi sneered and said: "Do you think Fanyi is a three-year-old child? You can only deceive Liu Rushi with words like this, don't try to deceive Fangyi!"
Mu Linfeng knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Fangyi, so he quickly hugged Li Fangyi and said with a smile: "Fangyi must be jealous!"
Li Fangyi said with a smile: "You have so many wives, but Fangyi is not jealous. For Liu Rushi, Fangyi will be jealous... humph..." After Li Fangyi said this, she was not sure whether she was jealous or not.
After Mu Linfeng chuckled, he said to Li Fangyi: "If Fangyi is jealous, she is jealous. What's wrong with being jealous?"
After hearing this, Li Fangyi glared at Mu Linfeng and then said: "Master, please don't forget that Mr. Zhou, the pervert over there, is still waiting for your Miss Liu!" As she said this, Li Fangyi pushed Mu Linfeng away and walked downstairs.
Mu Linfeng looked at Li Fangyi's leaving figure and chuckled, "But the jealous look is quite cute!"
Mu Linfeng immediately returned to the wing where Zhou Yanru was staying. Zhou Ru was pouring a drink by himself. When he saw Mu Linfeng coming back, he immediately said: "How is it? Mu Shuai, Miss Liu..." and said to the door.
Looking over, he saw that Mu Linfeng was the only one, and he couldn't help but show disappointment on his face.
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Oh, this Liu Rushi has such a bad temper. Mu can say whatever he wants, but he just refuses to come. Alas, who is calling this Meixiang Tower and counting on her... Mu can't be blamed.
As for her...Master Zhou, I'm really sorry for disappointing you...Mu punished himself with a drink to apologize to Master Zhou..."
Mu Linfeng said as he filled a cup, Zhou Yanru quickly said: "No, no, no, no, although it's a bit disappointing, how dare you blame Mu Shuai!"
Mu Linfeng still drank a glass of wine, then sat down and said: "Master Zhou, this beautiful woman from ancient times is the same as a talented scholar!"
Zhou Yanru didn't know why and asked curiously: "Oh? How do you say this?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Since ancient times, talented people have always been a little arrogant based on their talents. This beauty is also the same. They call it arrogant based on their appearance... Haha... But you can't blame them... It's all because of us lustful people."
So pampered..."
When Zhou Yanru heard what Mu Linfeng said, he really felt that there was some truth to it, but then he heard Mu Linfeng continue: "But this is fine, since ancient times, the less you can get, the more precious it is. Mr. Zhou will accompany Mu tonight.
Even though you are drinking, you can still meet this beauty if you are destined to!"
Zhou Yanru was a little disappointed when he couldn't see Liu Rushi, but this was not the capital, but Mu Linfeng's territory. If he were in the capital, he might have lost his patience and wanted to get up and cause trouble. The most annoying thing is this Meixiang
Apart from Liu Rushi, only Li Fangyi was pretty in the building. However, Li Fangyi seemed to be a bit ambiguous about Mu Linfeng. Zhou Yanru had no choice but to give up and said: "Okay, business matters are more important. The most important thing is that Mu Shuai can deliver the firearm on time."
The goods are..."
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "As long as the court deposits a deposit, Mu will start production immediately. Master Zhou can rest assured..." He picked up the wine glass and said: "Come, Master Zhou, drink this cup to the full and wish me in advance."
We enjoy working together..."
Zhou Yanru quickly picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said: "Mu Shuai, since this Miss Liu is so arrogant because of her appearance... this Meixiang Tower is also lifeless... Zhou then left and went back to wait for the court.
Reply, as soon as there is news, I will reply to Mu Shuai immediately..."
Mu Linfeng knew that this old pervert had endured quite well without a beautiful woman as his companion, so he did not try to stop him. He quickly stood up and said, "Then Mu will be waiting for Mr. Zhou's good news..."
Zhou Yanru said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Commander Mu, don't send Commander Mu away..." After saying that, he exited the side room, turned around and walked away.
Mu Linfeng looked at it and snorted coldly, thinking: "You, an old boy, also want to snatch a woman from me... If it weren't for the sake of money, I would have skinned you alive..."
.
After Zhou Yanru left, Mu Linfeng poured and drank alone in the wing room for a while. When it got dark, Mu Linfeng asked his servants to call Li Fangyi. He originally planned to spend the night in Meixiang Building tonight, but Li Fangyi seemed to be in a bad mood.
Unfortunately, Mu Linfeng had no choice but to return home.
When Mu Linfeng returned home, he always felt that someone seemed to be following him behind him, but when he turned his head, there was still nothing behind him, and there was not a single ghost in the silent street.
Mu Linfeng is an atheist, so naturally he doesn't believe in ghosts either. Mu Linfeng secretly asked, "Could it be that Zhou Yanru sent someone to plot against me?" Thinking of this, it seems very possible.
If Emperor Chongzhen failed to recruit Mu Linfeng to surrender, it is hard to believe that he had given Zhou Yanru some secret edict, telling him what to do if Mu Linfeng refused to surrender.
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "Did Zhou Yanru just tell me to relax my vigilance by talking nonsense about buying firearms in front of me? If this is really the case, then this old pervert is really good at acting!"
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but quicken his pace when he thought of this, secretly began to use the dragon's pace, and quickly headed towards Mu Mansion.
Little did he know that the faster Mu Linfeng's steps, the faster the footsteps behind him, but they were only a hundred meters away from Mu Linfeng.
Although Mu Linfeng was not a martial arts master, he could tell that there were not a few people following him, at least dozens of them, and they all walked lightly, so he thought he was a good one.
Mu Linfeng thought that although his dragon-walking pace was not at its peak, it was more than enough to outstrip ordinary martial arts people. However, he did not expect that the light industry skills of those behind him would not be as good as Mu Linfeng's dragon-walking pace.
Mu Linfeng knew that these people must be looking for a remote place to attack, and if they want to return to Mu Mansion, they must pass through a remote place.
Mu Linfeng thought: "If you decide to return to Meixiang Tower now, these guys will definitely know that I have noticed them, and they will definitely take action immediately..."
While Mu Linfeng was hesitating, he saw dozens of men in black appearing not far ahead, running towards him quickly.
Mu Linfeng knew that he would not be able to escape this time, so he quickly held the gun in his hand, determined that even if he died on the spot, he would find a few people to back him up.
Mu Linfeng had no way to go, with soldiers chasing him in front and behind. Knowing that he had nowhere to escape, he simply stood still and said with a cold smile: "Who are you friends with?"
Mu Linfeng was surrounded by two groups of people. The man in black in front couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that there was a group of men in black behind Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng turned around and saw the man in black behind him standing not far away from him and looking at the man in black in front of him, his eyes a little wandering.
Mu Linfeng saw the eyes of the two groups clearly and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Is it possible that these two groups are not the same group? Haha, I really have a lot of opponents!"
When Mu Linfeng thought of this, he burst into laughter. The two groups of men in black were a little confused. The leader of the men in black in front took a step forward and said, "Is this you, Mu Linfeng?"
Mu Linfeng still laughed wildly, and then said coldly: "That's right!"
The group of men in black behind Mu Linfeng were surprised for a while, and then one of them stepped forward and said to the men in black in front of him: "Who are you?"
The leader of the men in black in front pondered for a while and said: "If your Excellency sends two gangs, you will definitely inform us. Who are you?"
Hearing this, Mu Linfeng was even more sure that the two groups were not the same, and then he laughed and said: "Since both of you are here to see me, and you don't know each other, why don't you take this opportunity and say hello first?
?”
The leader of the men in black in front sneered and said: "No matter who you are, Mu Linfeng's head tonight can only be obtained by me!"
The leader of the men in black behind also sneered and said: "I don't care who you are, Mu Linfeng's people, we are determined tonight!"
Mu Linfeng heard the two groups talking and already knew their origins. The group of men in black in front came to kill him, while the group of men in black in the back came to capture him.
Mu Linfeng quickly calculated in his mind who wanted to kill him and who wanted to capture him. After much deliberation, he concluded that Zhou Yanru was the only one.
But if it was just Zhou Yanru, he would definitely not rule out two groups of people. One group came to kill him, and the other group came to capture him. So who are the other groups?
Mu Linfeng thought about it and found no one to get along with. Li Xin was determined not to have this possibility. Although he hated his ambiguous relationship with Hong'er, he was determined not to kill him because of it. Besides, Li Xin was a smart man.
If people kill themselves, their future supply of firearms will be gone.
But apart from Zhou Yanru and Li Xin, Mu Linfeng really couldn't think of anyone else. Zhou Yanru was basically certain, and Li Xin only had half the chance to assassinate or capture him, unless he was short-sighted and wanted to get these ten thousand.
After getting the firearm, kill yourself. From then on, the only one who owns the firearm is to join an army.
Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng couldn't help but feel that if Li Xin or Li Zicheng really thought this way, then they would definitely not let him go.
At this time, the two groups of black-clothed men all surrendered to Mu Linfeng, who was standing in the middle of the field. The leader of the black-clothed men in front waved his hand, and dozens of black-clothed men who reached out immediately showed their weapons.
At the same time, the group of men in black behind Mu Linfeng also displayed their weapons, and saw that the two groups were about to start taking action.
Mu Linfeng held the **** tightly in his hand, and suddenly felt that cold sweat had broken out on his forehead and the clothes on his back were soaked.
Immediately, two groups of men in black rushed towards Mu Linfeng with weapons in hand. Mu Linfeng's heart trembled, and he quickly used the Dragon Step to dodge around.
Unexpectedly, the group behind was so fast that they were determined not to follow Mu Linfeng's dragon steps and followed Mu Linfeng closely, waving the long sword in their hands.
The other group of men in black were not willing to lag behind, and immediately fought with the faster group of men in black. While the two groups were fighting, they had to pay attention to Mu Linfeng's movements.
The skills of both groups were top-notch, and it was hard to tell them apart at the moment. Mu Linfeng couldn't care so much, so he ran away on his own, taking the opportunity to fire several shots, knocking down several men in black who were following closely behind him.
I can't tell which side they are from.
Mu Linfeng continued to run when he suddenly felt pain in his legs and fell to the ground. When he turned around, he was hit by a plum blossom dart on each of his calves. The blood immediately stained his pants. Mu Linfeng wanted to stand up.
But I feel like I can't use my legs at all. If I exert any force, I feel pain like a tearing wound.
Mu Linfeng screamed in his heart: "Does heaven want to destroy me, Mu Linfeng, here?"
With determination to die, Mu Linfeng held the gun in his hand, sat on the ground, and fired dozens of shots at the men in black who rushed towards him, knocking down more than ten of them.
Seeing that Mu Linfeng had a "hidden weapon" in his hand, the men in black began to learn to be smart. They no longer rushed directly, but accelerated their bodies, dodging left and right and running towards Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng saw that the men in black were extremely fast, so he still fired dozens of shots. Although he could occasionally hit one or two men in black, the group of men in black was larger, and he couldn't tell who was who at this moment.
Who, who is coming to kill me, who is coming to arrest me?
Seeing the man in black who was the first to rush to Mu Linfeng, he immediately chopped off his head with a long knife.
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "This is killing me, I'm finished!"
Mu Linfeng thought of this and was ready to ask this guy to back him up even if he died. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he heard a "clang" sound and a fire flashed in front of his eyes.
Mu Linfeng saw that the knife that was slashing at him was only a few centimeters away from him, but was intercepted by another steel knife.
Mu Linfeng secretly rejoiced that he was lucky, but he saw that the man in black behind him and the man in black who wanted to kill him were already fighting together.
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "Anyway, it will be detrimental to me, and I will not thank you for saving me..." Then he fired several shots, and the men in black who were in front fell down immediately.
The men in black following behind could see clearly, and one of them shouted: "Be careful of the hidden weapon in Mu Linfeng's hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, half of the thirty or forty people rushing towards Mu Linfeng suddenly disappeared, and they didn't know where they went. The other people were still rushing towards him, dodging left and right.
Mu Linfeng didn't know where the man in black who suddenly disappeared went, but suddenly he felt that the figures of these people looked so familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, but he just couldn't remember them for the moment.
Where he could care so much, there was a burst of random shooting in front of him. Some people groaned and fell to the ground, but they were still a minority after all. In an instant, a group of men in black surrounded Mu Linfeng.
When Mu Linfeng saw this group of people raising their knives and preparing to chop at him, Mu Linfeng thought to himself that he was on the run for his life and couldn't help laughing.
When Mu Linfeng thought of this, he had no choice but to close his eyes and prepare to wait for death, but suddenly he heard screams one after another, and then he felt that there was only one person on his face, and the smell of blood entered his nose.
Mu Linfeng slowly opened his eyes and saw that the man in black who was feeding him in front of him had a steel knife pierced through his abdomen, and blood was flowing down the steel knife drop by drop. And those men in black, each of them had many people behind him at the same time.
A man in black.
Mu Linfeng touched his face, then stretched out his hand to see, it was bright red, and the steel knife on the abdomen of the man in black slowly retracted, and then all the people in front of him who had been stabbed fell down one after another, and the group of men in black behind him
He took out a white handkerchief, wiped the blood on the steel knife, and then sheathed the steel knife.
Mu Linfeng knew that this was the man in black from the other side who was preparing to capture him, but he saw the leader step forward, sneered at Mu Linfeng who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Mu Linfeng, will you go with us?"
Mu Linfeng knew that these people just wanted to capture him and might not kill him for the time being, so his life would not be in danger for the time being. He quickly snorted and asked, "Who are you?"
The leader of the men in black sneered and said, "You'll find out when you get there!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and several men in black came up from behind and immediately lifted Mu Linfeng up.
Mu Linfeng had already hidden his penis at this moment and let them lift him up, thinking: "Let's go and see who it is for now. It seems that this guy has something to threaten me. If not, he can kill him immediately."
Kill yourself!"
Just as Mu Linfeng was thinking about it, he heard a rush of footsteps on the street. Mu Linfeng turned around and saw something was happening not far away, and a group of men in black were rushing towards here.
Mu Linfeng's heart trembled, and he couldn't help laughing loudly: "I didn't expect that I, Mu Linfeng, would be so valuable tonight, and so many people would want to find me..."
The leader of the men in black couldn't help but frown when he saw this, and then said: "Four people escort Mu Linfeng away, while the others stay behind to block this group of people!"
As soon as the leader of the men in black finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "It's over..." After thinking about it, he turned around and saw that it was the defenders of Yangzhou City. Then he laughed and said:
"Yangzhou City is quite lively tonight!"
The four men in black who were carrying Mu Linfeng saw this and immediately retreated.
Suddenly, more than thirty men in black in front blocked the way of the group who tied up Mu Linfeng, while the defenders of Yangzhou City blocked the retreat of the group who tied up Mu Linfeng.
One of the Yangzhou defenders shouted: "Who are you? How dare you make trouble in Yangzhou..."
As he spoke, the man glanced ahead and seemed to see that Mu Linfeng was tied up in those hands, and immediately said: "Mu Shuai... Mu Shuai is in their hands, don't act rashly..."
A leader of the men in black blocking the way in front stood up and shouted to the group of people in the middle: "Friends, since you and I are all here for Mu Linfeng, we should stand on the same front. Now the defenders of Yangzhou
It has been discovered that this place will be surrounded by Yangzhou in an instant, and it will not be easy for you and me to escape unscathed!"
The leader of the men in black who captured Mu Linfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, then glanced at Mu Linfeng and whispered: "It seems that these people are going to take your life, but we are not taking your life.
I just want you to meet someone. If you don’t stop this group of men in black, we can escape intact. If not..." He took out the steel knife from his waist and waved it in front of Mu Linfeng.
Shake.
Mu Linfeng naturally understood what the man in black meant, and laughed loudly: "If not, you have no choice but to kill Mu? If you kill Mu, how will you explain to the person who wants to capture me when you go back?"
When the leader of the man in black heard this, he frowned slightly, then put the steel knife on Mu Linfeng's neck, and sneered: "This is a last resort..."
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "Forget it, follow them back. There is no danger for the time being. If the other group of people captures them, they may be dead soon..." Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng immediately asked the Yangzhou Shou behind him.
Jun shouted: "Go immediately and destroy the gang of thieves in black. Mu is not in danger here for the time being..."
Hearing this, the Yangzhou defenders looked around one after another. Mu Linfeng was obviously under the control of others and was being tied up and carried. How could there be no danger? But since Mu Linfeng said so, they had to draw their weapons and attack the group of black-clothed soldiers in front.
People rushed away.
The group of people who tied up Mu Linfeng also drew out their steel knives to prevent the Yangzhou Army from sudden changes. After seeing the Yangzhou Army passing by, they pressed Mu Linfeng and immediately fled to the outside.
The Yangzhou Army suddenly fought with another group of men in black. Although the Yangzhou garrison had more than two hundred people, the men in black were all good players. The victory or defeat was clear, and the Yangzhou Army was only slightly delayed.
It only slowed down their pace. After they got rid of the Yangzhou Army, where would there be any trace of Mu Linfeng and the men in black who tied her up on the street?
But at this moment, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded on the street, fires broke out in all directions, and footsteps continued everywhere. Thousands of people were stripped naked from all sides and surrounded the group of black-clothed people in the middle.
On the other hand, the man in black tied up Mu Linfeng and walked along the trail. He didn't know how much he had walked. Mu Linfeng knew that these people would not pose a threat to him for the time being, and he was not worried.
I was just wondering who wanted to catch me.
Mu Linfeng suddenly thought of the two brothers Long Qingfeng and Long Qingyun. There were so many dead men in the Qinglong Society. Could it be that they ordered someone to capture him?
Mu Linfeng then remembered that after he killed the two brothers Long Qingfeng and Long Qingyun, the Long brothers did not go back to Jinling, but took a boat from the Yangtze River to the sea. Could it be that their Qinglong Society still has some base in the East China Sea?
Mu Linfeng then thought that if Long Qingfeng really wanted to capture him, the only possibility was that he would need firearms.
Although Mu Linfeng was not sure whether it was the Long brothers who sent someone to arrest him, Yixi felt that since he was not going to kill him, it was because of the firearm in his hand.
Just as Mu Linfeng was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the man in black who was carrying him had stopped. Mu Linfeng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and said, "We've arrived so soon, haven't we left Yangzhou City yet?"
Mu Linfeng turned his head and looked around, and found that he was still on the street. The doors everywhere were closed tightly. It didn't look like he had arrived at his destination. Then he looked at the leader of the men in black standing aside.
His eyes are looking straight ahead.
Mu Linfeng raised his head slightly, trying to look ahead. He saw a dark figure standing not far ahead, with a thin figure and protruding breasts. It was obviously a woman, but he couldn't see clearly.
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "Who is this? I didn't expect that I, Mu Linfeng, would be so popular. Yangzhou City is really lively tonight!"
The leader of the men in black shouted forward: "Who is it?"
But I heard the woman in front of me sneer and say: "Put down Mu Linfeng!"
Mu Linfeng heard that the woman's voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment. He just felt that he definitely knew this woman, and Mu Linfeng also felt that the woman's voice was deliberately suppressed when she spoke, obviously not wanting Mu Linfeng to hear it.
Find out who she is.
The leader of the men in black said coldly: "So it's you? Do you think we won't be able to recognize you because you speak with a tight voice? Get out of the way quickly, don't miss our important event!"
The woman said: "If you don't want to die, just let go of Mu Linfeng!"
The man in black said coldly: "Don't be stubborn..." With a wave of his hand, the men in black around him showed their weapons and charged towards the woman.
Mu Linfeng listened to their conversation and felt that they knew each other, so he couldn't help but raise his head slightly and look forward.
The group of men in black rushed to the woman and surrounded her. The woman slowly pulled out a long knife from her waist and held it in her hand.
A group of men in black shouted and immediately attacked the woman with their knives. The woman was extremely fast, dodging left and right. After hearing several muffled grunts, the woman slowly inserted the knife into her body.
Sheath, but the group of men in black still maintained their original posture. After a few seconds, they fell to the ground one after another.
The leader of the men in black murmured a few words, but Mu Linfeng didn't understand them at all. He couldn't help but feel a little scared and said: "Japanese? Are these people from Japan?"
But she saw the leader of the man in black holding the steel knife and rushing forward quickly. The woman immediately pulled out the steel knife and collided with the leader of the man in black's knife. There was a sudden flash of fire, and Mu
Linfeng vaguely saw that the woman's face was also covered with black cloth, and she couldn't tell what she looked like.
The leader of the men in black and the woman wielded long swords and fought each other for several rounds, but it was hard to tell the difference for a while. Not only did the two of them converse in Japanese, but Mu Linfeng could not understand a word of what they were saying.
But at this moment, there was another sound of footsteps on the street. Mu Linfeng looked for the sound and saw another forty or fifty men in black rushing towards here.
.
Even if your message is just one (*^__^*), it will become the motivation for the author's creation. Please
Mu Linfeng didn't know whether these men in black were reinforcements for the men in black who had bound him, or another group of men in black who were preparing to kill him. He cursed in his heart: "His grandfather's, all of them are really haunted."
Disperse..."
Just when Mu Linfeng thought of this, there was a burst of rapid and light footsteps from both sides of the street. Mu Linfeng frowned and said: "It seems that I have endured this long night!"
The leader of the men in black and the woman also took a step back when they heard the words. They just faced each other and stopped attacking. They looked left and right one after another. The leader of the men in black said a few words to the woman in Japanese, and the woman also spoke in Japanese.
I replied a few words in Japanese.
The two chattered for a while, but to Mu Linfeng's ears it was just the sound of birdsong, and not a single word could be understood.
But at this moment, a group of men in black and the group who tied up Mu Linfeng came together and were their reinforcements.
Another group of men in black each had weapons in their hands, and the two groups were facing each other.
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "Looks like there's something good to watch!" But he didn't expect that he was still in the hands of others.
The two groups were in a stalemate for a while, but then they saw a person from the other group stand up and start chatting with the woman.
Mu Linfeng was surprised and said: "Huh? It turns out that the two groups now are Japanese, not the previous ones!"
Mu Linfeng patiently watched the leader of the men in black and the woman talking to each other, as if they were negotiating. The tone of their conversation was very intense, and they were on the verge of breaking out. They were incompatible with each other.
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "Let's fight, let's fight. It's best for both sides to fight to the death..."
Just when Mu Linfeng thought about this, he saw two groups of people showing off their weapons, and immediately rushed together and started fighting hard.
And the leader of the man in black and the woman instantly fought together again, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere on the street.
At this moment, Mu Linfeng only hoped that these two groups would fight to the death, both sides would suffer, and then the nearby Yangzhou garrison would be alerted, and then he would be saved.
But at this moment, he heard the leader in black shouting at the four people who tied up Mu Linfeng. The man immediately carried Mu Linfeng and walked to the alley aside. Mu Linfeng knew that the leader in black must be calling this person.
The four of them took themselves away first.
Mu Linfeng turned to look at the woman, and saw that the woman obviously wanted to rush here to save him, but she was entangled by the leader in black and had no time to escape.
Mu Linfeng watched the woman's figure gradually disappear in front of his eyes, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought: "Tagawa Miko? By the way, it's definitely her..."
Mu Linfeng already felt that the woman's voice seemed familiar, and he kept wondering who it was. It was not until the men in black on both sides started speaking Japanese that Mu Linfeng began to suspect Tagawa Miko, but he was not sure.
Until the four people who tied up Mu Linfeng turned into the alley, when Mu Linfeng saw the woman rushing toward him, he saw her breasts clearly, and suddenly thought that Tagawa Meiko's breasts should be the same size, and the Japanese woman,
Mu Linfengzhi knew Tagawa Meiko, so he was sure it was Tagawa Meiko.
Obviously Tagawa Meiko seems to be saving herself, but who are these people who kidnapped her? What on earth do the Japanese want to do to capture her?
There is also the Feng family in Jinling. Since Jinling was captured by Long Qingfeng, their entire family has disappeared. Could this matter be related to Feng Ren'ao?
Mu Linfeng kept thinking in his mind, but he still didn't have an accurate answer. Maybe the answer can only be known after he meets the person who wants to see him.
The four men in black walked very fast and passed through three alleys in the blink of an eye.
But at this moment, the private person suddenly stopped and Mu Linfeng cursed secretly: "Is this happening again?" He raised his head and looked forward.
I saw a person standing not far ahead. It was so dark in the alley that I couldn't tell whether the person was a man or a woman.
One of the four men in black shouted to the front, also speaking in Japanese, but there was no response from the man in front. Then the man in black said again: "Who are you and what do you want to do?" This time he said something different.
It's Chinese, but it's spoken a bit poorly.
The man in front said: "Put down the person you are holding!"
Mu Linfeng heard that the person spoke in a delicate voice, but she was a woman, and she was also a familiar person, but it was not Tagawa Miko. Mu Linfeng recognized it as Hong'er at a glance.
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but said happily: "Hong'er, is that you?"
Hong'er didn't say anything, but immediately took out the bag from her waist and rushed over.
The four men in black put down Mu Linfeng. One of them looked at Mu Linfeng, and the other three took out the steel knives from their waists and rushed towards Hong'er.
Mu Linfeng kept shouting from the side: "Hong'er, be careful..."
Mu Linfeng secretly took out his gun while shouting, and then fired several shots at the man in black behind him. The man in black behind him grunted and fell to the ground.
Mu Linfeng's legs were injured and weak, and he immediately fell on the man in black.
Mu Linfeng immediately sat up and pointed his gun at the three people. However, the three people were fighting with Hong'er and their bodies were shaking. Mu Linfeng did not dare to shoot easily.
Moreover, it was dark in the alley, and it was impossible to see what was going on ahead, let alone where Hong'er was.
From time to time, Mu Linfeng heard Hong'er groan and couldn't help shouting: "Hong'er, are you okay?"
Mu Linfeng couldn't hear Hong'er's reply, so he immediately lay down on the ground and crawled forward. He heard the sound of weapons clashing in front of him, and expected that Hong'er would be fine for the time being.
However, Hong'er's martial arts seemed to be a bit weak against these three ninjas, so she couldn't help but worry about Hong'er secretly.
When Mu Linfeng climbed to Hong'er, he saw clearly that Hong'er's arm seemed to have been injured. Mu Linfeng immediately pointed his gun at the three men in black and fired several shots each.
He fell to the ground in response.
Hong'er then used her sword to support the ground, panting, then raised her head slightly and glanced at Mu Linfeng who was lying on the ground.
Mu Linfeng immediately climbed to Hong'er's door, grabbed Hong'er's trousers, and said: "Hong'er, you are injured, sit down quickly, I will bandage you..."
Hong'er glanced at Mu Linfeng, and then sat slightly on the ground. Mu Linfeng saw that Hong'er's arm was injured in more than one place. He quickly tore a few rags from his clothes and removed the wounds on Hong'er's arm.
Bandage them one by one.
Mu Linfeng sat up and Hong'er whispered: "Let me see your retreat..."
As she spoke, Hong'er lowered her head and looked at Mu Linfeng's legs. Mu Linfeng's pants were already covered with blood. Hong'er couldn't help but frown and said, "You're so seriously injured, you still have to crawl over?"
Mu Linfeng immediately laughed and said: "This little injury is nothing..." Mu Linfeng held Hong'er's hand and whispered: "As long as Hong'er is fine, it doesn't matter if Linfeng's legs are gone."
What..."
Hong'er's body trembled when she heard this, and she immediately tore open Mu Linfeng's pants, only to see a plum blossom dart on Mu Linfeng's calf, clamped deeply into the flesh.
Upon seeing this, Hong'er couldn't help turning her head to look at Mu Linfeng and said, "The injury is so serious, and you still say it's nothing..."
When Hong'er said this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. Then she immediately took out a dagger from her waist, and then took out a bottle of golden medicine from her arms, and said to Mu Linfeng: "Be patient, I will take out the hidden weapon first."
!”
Mu Linfeng still kept a smile on his face, but his forehead was already covered with sweat. Mu Linfeng said to Hong'er, "Didn't Li Xin say that Li Zicheng gave you other tasks? Why did you come to Yangzhou?"
Hong'er looked at Mu Linfeng, hesitated to speak, then reached out and gently moved the concealed weapon on Mu Linfeng's leg. Mu Linfeng immediately frowned and groaned.
Hong'er immediately spread the golden medicine on Mu Linfeng's wound, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "Be patient..."
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and was about to speak when he felt a sharp pain in his leg. Hong'er already had a plum blossom dart stained with blood in her hand.
Hong'er glanced at the plum blossom dart, then threw it aside. After quickly applying gold wound medicine to Mu Linfeng's wound, she immediately tore open the corners of her clothes and bandaged the port on Mu Linfeng's calf with cloth.
Hong'er then sat down and said to Mu Linfeng: "Be careful in the future, knowing that so many people are looking for trouble for you, and you are still running around in the middle of the night!"
At this moment, Mu Linfeng held Hong'er's hand. Hong'er quickly moved away and said, "I didn't come to save you on purpose, I just happened to meet you. Mu Shuai must not think too much about it!"
Mu Linfeng said: "That's not what I meant, I..."
Hong'er didn't wait for Mu Linfeng to finish speaking, and immediately said: "Stop talking, I know what you are going to say. My heart is very confused at the moment, and I don't want to hear anything..."
Mu Linfeng quickly grabbed Hong'er's hand, held it tightly, and said: "Hong'er, you misunderstood..."
Hearing this, Hong'er turned to look at Mu Linfeng and couldn't help laughing suddenly. She didn't know whether she was laughing at herself or at Mu Linfeng. After a long time, she sighed: "So this is a misunderstanding?"
Mu Linfeng said quickly: "Hong'er, you really misunderstood. I wanted to tell you that there is a hidden weapon on my other leg..."
