The Li family and his party quickly disappeared behind the woods.

There was silence near the Trevi Fountain, except for a faint fluttering sound coming from the pool, and after a while, even the fluttering sound became quieter and quieter.

At this moment, a head poked out of the woods.

He confirmed again that the Li family was gone, and then he quickly ran to Tan Bian, and stretched out his hand to the girl whose face was blue and had begun to sink but was still holding people tightly and not letting go: "Come, hold on to me!"

.........

Yancheng, the residence of Mu Dujun

Mu Chengyao stepped into Mu Dujun's study, stopped at the desk, stood up and saluted, "Handsome!"

Mu Dujun is the name of outsiders, and his cronies who have followed him for many years are used to calling him Dashuai.

Mu Dujun was dressed in a long shirt and was working at his desk, if people who didn't know him, they probably wouldn't have imagined that this mild-looking and thin old man was a powerful man with heavy troops in his hands.

He stopped his pen and smiled and signaled to Mu Chengyao that he didn't need to be polite, "Chengyao is here, come here." He handed the telegram he had just finished reading to Mu Chengyao.

Mu Chengyao took the telegram and read it at a glance, and he already understood what the Overseer meant by calling him over.

He didn't speak, silently placing the telegram on his desk and waiting for the Overseers to arrange.

Mu Dujun wiped his head, "Song Fatzi's old thing doesn't do anything, he doesn't care about the bandits in his own house, and when the matter gets bigger, he will rush these burning, killing and robbing things to us. ”

Mu Dujun seemed to be angry, but the two people in the actual study knew that this was just an appearance, Mu Song and the two had been fighting for half their lives, and no one did anything less to make a pit of an old opponent by the way, and it was just a regular CAO.

In these years, those who have a little ability have set up their own mountains, and those who have pulled hundreds of people to occupy a small mountain village can be called generals, and it is common for a county town to change generals three or four times a month, and the generals are in full swing, causing the common people to not know whose territory they belong to.

There was a joke about a small town that was strategically important, and every time a warlord entered the city, the local gentry demanded that every household put a welcome sign at the door.

But if you put slogans, you don't need money for paper, you don't need money for pen and ink, and you don't need money to find someone to write?

This made it really unaffordable for the people who often changed the slogan, so a smart man came up with a way, he used a wooden board to write the slogan on both sides of the front and back, which won to which side, convenient and economical. The crowd followed suit.

When the warlord entered the city, he was delighted to see signs welcoming him everywhere, but as a result of a gust of wind, the thin wooden planks were turned upside down, and the words of welcome were written on the back.

That's embarrassing!

The common people don't know who the name of the little warlord is, but they are very familiar with the characters at the level of the commander and the overseer.

Mu Song's two territories are adjacent to each other, Mu Dujun holds the two provinces, sits in Yancheng, and the people under his rule are still living and working in peace and contentment, and where bandits and the like can be cleared in time, there is no need to worry about people being tied up on the road. The Song overseers were greedy for money, and the means of collecting money emerged one after another, which made the people under his rule miserable, and there were many people who were forced to fall into the grass, and there were often rich people who woke up from sleep and found that they were in the bandits' den.

Song Overseer was ridiculed by major newspapers as a wealthy marshal, not only because of the tyrannical expropriation, but also because he deliberately let the bandits go and then sent a team to suppress the bandits after fattening the bandits, so fame and fortune were gained.

It is said that the Song Overseer should not be Mu Dashuai's opponent, but the Song Overseer is generous to his subordinates, and the Song family army is well-equipped and loyal.

Song Overseer fought with Mu Dashuai with his fists.

Both of them are eyeing each other, and over the years, there have been no major events but small fights and temptations, just waiting to take a bite of meat when the other party is weak.

The telegram that "Liu Huzi has entered Tongcheng" is one of the small means that Song Overseer has always had.

Liu Huzi is a bandit who committed a lot of crimes in the territory of the Song Dynasty, he led and participated in eight kidnappings, and the people who were kidnapped were all either rich or expensive, and the first few cases were worried about the kidnappers' retaliation afterwards, and several families were privately settled, and not many people knew about it. Seeing this, Liu Huzi became more and more bold, staring at a wealthy family and directly robbing the house, and after being resisted by the guards, Liu Huzi was furious and ordered his subordinates to slaughter all the rich merchants.

After the incident, there was a national uproar, and many newspapers reprinted and published it one after another, and Liu Huzi's name was known throughout the country.

Liu Huzi saw that the matter was exposed, but he became even more rampant, fleeing all over the country to commit crimes, not to mention that the ransom is getting higher and higher, and the release of people also depends on the mood, and there are not a few cases of tearing up tickets when they get the ransom when they are in a bad mood. But the ransom can't be left unpaid, and if it is given, the family may be able to go home safely, but if it is not given, the whole family will be targeted by bandits.

Liu Huzi let it go, don't give a ransom to kill your whole family.

Even if you can ask the police to protect you for a while, can you still protect it for a lifetime? If you don't go out, won't the juniors let you go out? Knowing that there is a pair of vicious eyes staring at you in the shadows, which of these political and business celebrities is not frightened, and hurriedly scraped together enough ransom to hand over to the contactee, and they don't even dare to ask more about the safety of their families.

Liu Huzi's rampant behavior put everyone in danger in the socialite, and they asked Song to eliminate the harm for the people, and the newspapers also criticized Song's inaction.

Seeing that this bandit had become rich several times, Song Overseer immediately issued a national circular, saying that it was my negligence that this kind of bandit wantonly harmed innocent people on my territory, and that in order to prevent the bandits from continuing to rebel, I was willing to send troops to encircle and suppress them, and restore peace to the people.

When Liu Huzi's reputation spread throughout the country, Song Overseer had been paying close attention to his whereabouts, and when the time was ripe, he sent troops to smash the bandits' lair without waiting for anyone to react.

While taking over a large amount of money from Liu Huzi's lair, Song Overseer ordered his subordinates to only surround and intercept Liu Huzi, and slowly drove this famous bandit to Mu Dashuai's territory in a cat-and-mouse manner.

Now, Liu Huzi has entered Tongcheng, which is the territory of Mu Dashuai, and the team of the Song Overseer naturally can't chase after him. Exterminating the bandits naturally became Mu Dashuai's business.

Mu Chengyao, as the commander of the Third Division and the adjutant of Mu Dashuai, is naturally clear about the cause and effect of this matter, although Mu Dashuai has not yet said it clearly, but he is standing here is Mu Dashuai's attitude.

Mu Chengyao stood up and saluted: "Please give the order!"

Mu Dashuai looked at the tall and long-legged and heroic kid in front of him with satisfaction, this little guy he taught single-handedly is getting better and better.

He stood up and walked around the desk to Mu Chengyao, and patted the junior on the shoulder: "Good boy, go ahead, press this Liu beard to death in Tongcheng, we are not Song Da Fat who doesn't pay attention to eating appearance, since he came to our house, even if it is a dragon, he has to lie on his stomach, not to mention this little earthworm." ”

Mu Dashuai's tone was soft and smiling, the same as usual, but his words were murderous, only then did it dawn on people that this kind little old man was also killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain.

With a knock of his leather boots, Mu Chengyao's calm and powerful voice sounded: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

"Go ahead, get ready, although Tongcheng is not far away. It will take several days to go back and forth, and say goodbye to your mother before leaving, so that she will not be worried. ”

Mu Dashuai didn't take Liu Huzi to heart at all in his words, as if this bandit that everyone feared was really an ant that could be crushed to death at will.

After explaining his official business, Mu Chengyao also relaxed, "My mother went to Qianyun Temple to offer incense, I'm afraid she will stay there for a few days, I will go early and return early, without delay." ”

Mu Dashuai waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

Mu Chengyao did not delay, walked out of the study after saying goodbye, and saw Mu Fusheng standing at the door, he called out to the eldest young master expressionlessly and prepared to leave.

"Stop! I said let you go?" Mu Fu's most hated thing in his life was Mu Chengyao.

As Mu Dashuai's only son, Mu Fusheng has always been held and respected, even the old brother who fought the world with Mu Dashuai also treated him with courtesy, who knew that if he went abroad for a few years and then went home, there would be an extra Mu Chengyao by his father's side.

Mu Dashuai not only appointed Mu Chengyao as the commander of the third division, but also made him his adjutant, as if he wanted to be cultivated as an heir, which can be regarded as a strange story in ancient and modern times.

Mu Dashuai has sighed in public more than once that Mu Chengyao is my son, and even those veteran oils hooked up with Mu Chengyao and looked like a good brother.

If Mu Fusheng hadn't been convinced that his Laozi only had one son, he would have suspected that Mu Chengyao was his illegitimate son.

In this case, it is strange for Mu Fusheng to look at Mu Chengyao, but Mu Chengyao has always had a dead face, and when he saw Mu Fusheng, he looked like "I just watched you play a little temper", how can he owe it like this.

"The eldest young master, please tell me something, if it's okay, I'll go on a mission. Mu Chengyao put the military hat in his hand back on, straightened up, and looked at Mu Fusheng expressionlessly.

If you have something to say, don't beep if you have nothing to do!

Mu Fusheng read this sentence from Mu Chengyao's face strangely, his anger surged, the blue meridian on his neck faintly appeared, the whole person looked hideous, like a demon roaring, he took two steps forward to grab Mu Chengyao's collar, suddenly paused, as if thinking of something, Mu Fusheng's expression calmed down again, and his face returned to normal.

The hand that was originally holding Mu Chengyao's collar was changed to smooth out the folds on his shirt, and Mu Fusheng had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Adjutant Mu has outstanding ability, so naturally he has to share more for his father, I am here to thank you for my father first." ”

Mu Chengyao didn't seem to see Mu Fusheng's face change, he didn't raise his eyelids: "It is our duty to share worries for the big handsome. ”

Mu Fusheng was about to say something, but the door of the study suddenly opened, "What are you two muttering at the door of the study, there is something to say, what kind of fancy things are big men doing." ”

Mu Fusheng took half a step back, and hurriedly smiled: "Father, we are talking about the suppression of bandits this time, I want Brother Mu to take me along, after all, the situation is relatively calm now, there are not so many battles to fight, I heard that the bandits that appeared this time are particularly vicious and cunning, I want to compete with them and increase some combat experience." ”

Mu Dashuai thought for a while: "It's okay, what you learned in Japan should be used on the battlefield, Cheng Yao followed me to fight in the south and the north, and most of the bandits in the territory were eliminated by him, and you can learn a lot from him." Chengyao, my son will be handed over to you. ”

Mu Chengyao assured with a cold face: "Please rest assured." ”

Mu Dashuai nodded, looked at Mu Fusheng again, and said, "I will hand over the two battalions of the Guards to you, you follow Cheng Yao to take a good look and listen to his command." ”

The corners of Mu Fusheng's mouth curled up again, and when he saw his father staring at him, he hurriedly straightened up: "Yes." ”
