Chapter 178: Offending People
It was raining outside the door, but it was warm inside, because there was a stove burning in the house, and water was boiling on the stove, and it seemed to have a sign that it was going to open. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The spout of the info kettle is emitting white smoke.
Zhao Tonggui said, "We are here today, not for anything else, but in the hope that Mu Shaoxia can do us a favor."
Mu Chen didn't speak, he knew that even if he didn't ask, the other party would continue to talk.
Sure enough, Zhao Tonggui continued, "Today, only three masters have been killed in Huashan, and even the head of Situ, who is also the head of the Nine Great Sword Sects, has also died in Huangquan, and your Excellency should know these things better than us." ”
Mu Chen nodded.
Shui Wenqiu Huo Ran smiled and said, "So, we think that the target of this murderer must be a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, Mu Shaoxia is a disciple of the Wutai Mountain Divine Monk, and an elder of the Beggar Gang, so he must also be a first-class master." ”
Saying that, she had already walked to Mu Chen's side with a smile, a faint fragrance emanating from her upper body, and said, "So, we should be friends, not enemies, right?"
Her voice was gentle, as if it came from the mouth of a sixteen-year-old girl, delicate and soft.
The questions she asked were enough that no man could refuse.
Mu Chen is also a man, although he doesn't like the old woman in front of him very much, but somehow, what he said to her, he actually had an urge to obey.
Suppressing this impulse, Mu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Yes, we are indeed the same kind of people, but the same kind of people may not be friends."
With that, he took two steps forward, wanting to stay away from this terrible old woman, and continued, "I understand what you mean, if you want me to help you live, then you can't help your seniors."
Zhao Tonggui suddenly said, "Don't, don't, Mu Shaoxia, don't get excited, you refuse us, you have to give us a reason."
Mu Chen said, "I don't want to care about this matter, is this reason enough?"
Zhao Tonggui and Shui Wenqiu were speechless, only listening to Bai Wuqu and said angrily, "What a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, do you really think that a few of our old things don't work?
Mu Chen looked at the face of this middle-aged man with a solemn expression, and actually had a sense of admiration in his heart.
Bai Wuqu didn't say anything more, and rushed out of the door.
The others were stunned when they saw Bai Wuqu's actions, and Zhao Tonggui quickly reacted and said, "Mu Shaoxia, why don't you think about it again?"
Mu Chen said flatly, "Don't think about it"
Jing Yulou said lightly, "Since Your Excellency has decided, then I will leave next."
With that, he left the room.
This time, it was a little surprising to Mu Chen, it was not a trivial matter for these four people to beg him, but Jing Yulou didn't say a word, and Mu Chen didn't dissuade him after refusing, but left directly, which really made Mu Chen feel strange.
Zhao Tonggui sighed, "Since that's the case, then we'll leave first, but if Mu Shaoxia changes his mind, he can come to us at any time."
Shui Wenqiu also sighed and said, "We still persuade Mu Shaoxia to think about the overall situation, if everyone dies, it will indeed be a huge loss for the righteous path of martial arts."
The two turned to leave, and Mu Chen suddenly said, "If the two of you want to live, there is another way entirely."
Zhao Tonggui and Shui Wenqiu's eyes shone again, and they said in unison, "What?"
Mu Chen said lightly, "Although Huashan is closed now, Huashan is not small, if the two of you find a cave in the mountain and hide for a few days, you may be able to avoid this disaster."
Zhao Tonggui and Shui Wenqiu's faces became gloomy, and their faces showed embarrassment.
Mu Chen smiled indifferently, "But if the two of you still want to get the treasure, then you will only give your life in vain."
The two stared at Mu Chen together and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
The two left Muchen's room.
Muchen sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea, and he found that he seemed to like it more now, because he had liked the calm and peace of drinking tea.
Pouring a cup of tea, Mu Chen said, "Come in, eavesdropping is not a good habit"
Before the words fell, Shen Yueying's head was already exposed outside the door.
Shen Yueying walked into the room, sat down at the table, and said, "Brother Mu, you are really getting worse and worse."
Mu Chen smiled indifferently, "Oh?"
Shen Yueying said, "The few people just now are all famous heads of the rivers and lakes, and Brother Mu actually doesn't even give them face?"
Mu Chen said, "It seems that you don't know much about the things on the rivers and lakes."
Shen Yueying said, "That's not because you don't want to tell me," she put on a haughty expression, and continued, "You also lied to me with Brother Sima, what is called a flower chicken, so that I really think I'm old."
Only then did Mu Chen realize that he had already exposed his lies at the dinner, which was really unintentional, and Mu Chen could only laugh dryly now.
Shen Yueying is also a very smart woman, so she didn't continue to talk about this topic, but said, "Why did you refuse the four heads?"
Mu Chen said, "Although they are the heads of famous and decent families, the character of Shui Wenqiu and Zhao Tonggui is very problematic, which is already known to everyone in the rivers and lakes."
Shen Yueying said, "Yes, this kind of person, it is true that he should not cooperate with him, what about Jing Yulou and Bai Wuqu?"
Mu Chen said, "Jing Yulou's uncle is Jing Changsheng, if it weren't for Jing Changsheng framing me, you wouldn't have been poisoned by Tang Jiabao, although Jing Changsheng is dead, I don't want to pursue the affairs of the Cang faction, but I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore."
Shen Yueying stopped talking, she didn't know what to say anymore, she already thought that it was all caused by her.
Mu Chen continued, "Although Bai Wuqu is a righteous gentleman, I am not disgusted with him, but this time the matter is too troublesome, and even I may not be able to fight the murderer. ”
Shen Yueying said, "Isn't that more important to cooperate with them, you have already offended them like this"
Mu Chen smiled, "Yes, you also said it, I have offended them, in this way, I have enough reason not to ignore them, although it is not good to have too many enemies, but it is sometimes not good to have too many friends, let alone a group of friends who do not want to make themselves"
Shen Yueying smiled, "So you don't want to have anything to do with them, even if they die, they have nothing to do with you, right?"
Mu Chen took a sip of tea and said, "You're really getting smarter and smarter."
Shen Yueying's face flushed slightly, and she immediately changed the topic and said, "By the way, Miss Huang's side..."
Mu Chen said, "Is she still unwilling to help?"
As he spoke, the water that had been boiling on the stove boiled, Mu Chen stood up, went to the kettle, poured the old tea in the cup, added a new cup of tea, and poured another cup for Shen Yueying before sitting down.
Shen Yueying sighed and said, "You guessed very accurately."
Mu Chen said, "If a girl cries for a secret, then there are only two results, either she can't help but talk about this sad thing, or she doesn't want to say it anyway."
Shen Yueying quipped, "You know a lot about girls"
Mu Chen smiled, "It's not that I understand, it's because this matter will only have these two results"
Shen Yueying thought about it carefully and found that sure enough, there were only two results in this matter, whether to help or not.
Shen Yueying said, "Although she refused to help us, she still told us the reason. ”
