Chapter 60: Hope
"Wow......" The silence was broken by a cry of a baby.
"What's wrong?" asked Mu Tianxiang.
"I guess I'm hungry. Shangguan Jin untied the baby on his back and said in his arms.
The sudden change made Shangguan Jin mature a lot, and the original carefree face was also full of perseverance, pinning the last hope of the family, and this pressure was still a little heavy on Shangguan Jin.
Shangguan Jin took out a bottle of unknown liquid and began to feed the baby, that bottle of liquid is not low in grade, it is a good thing. The baby who had eaten was also quiet.
"Will you stay with me?" Shangguan Jin asked suddenly, teasing the baby.
"Yes, I will be with you for the rest of my life. Mu Tianxiang did not hesitate at all.
"I can be in trouble and there will be a lot of danger. After all, I am Shangguan Haoran's daughter. Mu Tianxiang's words Shangguan Jin's face turned red inexplicably, and there was a trace of sweetness in his heart.
"If there is any trouble, we will carry it together and face it together. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I am willing to overcome obstacles for you......" Mu Tianxiang looked at Shangguan Jin sincerely.
"It's going to be poor. Shangguan Jin lowered his head, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Will you take care of my nephew too, he is the only bloodline of our Shangguan family. Shangguan Jin asked a little apprehensively.
"Yes, he will be our child in the future, and I will take good care of him. Mu Tianxiang patted his chest and said.
"You're going to die, Mu Tianxiang, when did I say I wanted to marry you......" Shangguan Jin, who reacted, blushed with shame and chased after Mu Tianxiang.
"Murder my husband......" Mu Tianxiang shouted as he galloped his horse.
"You want me to marry you, Mu Tianxiang is the beautiful ...... you think," Shangguan Jin chased after him.
Mu Tianxiang's words temporarily scattered Shangguan Jin's sorrow, and Shangguan Jin also showed a rare smile.
Some things are inevitable. It's like sand in your hand, since you can't hold it, you can raise it casually, after all, the living have to continue.
"Let's separate here," Mu Tianxiang said after another day's journey.
"What's going on?" Shangguan Jin asked.
"The situation in Sun Moon Fort is more complicated, and it is not good for you to show up. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Then where am I going?" Shangguan Jin asked.
"You follow this road, and if you have half a day's journey, you can reach a valley, where the proprietress and Ouyang Xiaozhi are there. Mu Tianxiang pointed to the map and said, "In order to avoid trouble, I will rush back to Sun Moon Fort immediately, control the situation, and I will come to meet you." ”
"What the hell is going on, you know. Shangguan Jin asked.
Mu Tianxiang didn't hide it, so he told him about the private army he had established.
"It turns out that you have already guessed and started to prepare, why didn't you tell your father earlier. Shangguan Jin said angrily.
"I said in advance, will anyone believe it, many things have not happened, it is impossible to say. Mu Tianxiang explained.
"Why?" Shangguan Jin said.
"Because there are too many variables," Mu Tianxiang said: "Your mother, father, brothers, including me, have made a lot of preparations and plans, and the plan is probably not needed for a lifetime, what do you let us say." ”
"Your mother has been in desperate retreat for the past two years, why, doesn't she want to protect you," Mu Tianxiang said: "You remember, your mother, father and brother, including me, all love you, and they will not harm you, and it is for your good not to tell you." ”
"After talking for a long time, I was stupid and didn't see anything. Shangguan Jin cried.
It's hard to answer.
Wait for Shangguan Jin to calm down. Mu Tianxiang persuaded for a while and left.
Time is very tight, there is no way to delay, now the matter has not been completely disseminated, and when the matter is completely spread, if you don't prepare in advance, there will be a lot of trouble.
There are some things that Shangguan Jin has to figure out by himself, and it is useless for others to say anything. No matter what the final result is, Mu Tianxiang will take care of this kind girl for the rest of his life without hesitation.
It was only half a day's journey from the camp of the private army, and Shangguan Jin's cultivation was not low, and there was no problem with safety, so Mu Tianxiang left with confidence.
With the cranky thoughts in his mind, Mu Tianxiang hurriedly hurried away, because in order to accompany Shangguan Jin, Mu Tianxiang made a detour, and there was still a long way to go.
Two days later, Mu Tianxiang finally arrived at the barracks.
"Zhang Wei, Hao Jun, now that the situation has changed, we must prepare early. Mu Tianxiang summoned the two of them and told them about the situation and his own analysis.
"In this way, Shangguan Cheng can't be saved," Hao Jun and Zhang Wei were also taken aback when they heard it.
"We can't keep it, we have to prepare for the worst now. Mu Tianxiang said: "How many people can we control now?"
"The old people of the Second Army are fine, there are more than 10,000 of them. However, Ma Tiefeng and Ma Tiejun are not sure. There may be more than 40,000 others who are faithful. Hao Jun said.
"The Ma brothers will talk to me in person, and I will fight for as much as I can. Mu Tianxiang said: "There are more than 50,000 people in total?"
"Well, almost," Hao Jun said.
"You will pick again later, mainly commanders and monks at all levels, try to fight for what you can, try to control the number of soldiers at thirty or forty thousand, Tang Buregret that there are nearly 10,000 people, there are too many people we can't afford to raise. Mu Tianxiang said: "When picking people, the most important thing is loyalty. ”
Mu Tianxiang, Hao Jun and Zhang Wei urgently negotiated on personnel and materials.
"Mr. Mu, I heard that you are back. Geng Biao suddenly walked in.
"Geng Biao, why didn't you come in without saying hello. Hao Jun asked.
"I have something to report to the pastor. Geng Biao said with a smile.
"There's nothing you can't say to your face. Hao Jun and Zhang Wei knew that Mu Tianxiang's cultivation was relatively low, so they hurriedly protected Mu Tianxiang.
"If I have bad intentions, you two can't stop me. ”
"Then you try," Hao Jun and Zhang Wei have made great progress in their cultivation recently, they have both reached the high level of the Xuan level, and they are not very afraid of Geng Biao, a prefecture-level master, as long as they hold on for a while, the cronies who want to come to support will come over.
"Since Vice President Geng Biao wants to talk, I'll have a good talk with him, and you go out first. Mu Tianxiang thought for a while and said.
"Mr. Pastor. The heart of defense is indispensable, who knows what bad ideas this kid is holding back. Zhang Wei said.
"It's okay, you guys go out, it's an order. Mu Tianxiang said.
Since Mu Tianxiang said so, Zhang Wei and Hao Jun had no choice but to go out reluctantly. As soon as they arrived outside the big tent, they immediately arranged for people to surround the big tent.
"Now there's no one. Vice President Geng can say whatever he wants, after all, we have been working together for so long. Mu Tianxiang said with a smile.
"I'm from the Mercenary Alliance. ”
"Okay, we're talking openly and honestly now, and we haven't hidden it, it's a good foundation, continue. ”
"Aren't you surprised and surprised?" Geng Biao asked as he looked at Mu Tianxiang.
"I'm surprised, don't you see it?" Mu Tianxiang said with a smile.
"Mr. Mu, it's a joke. Without further ado, I'll tell you what I'm trying to do this time. Geng Biao said.
"Say, I'm listening. Mu Tianxiang picked up the teacup and said.
"Mr. Mu, I want to follow you for the rest of my life. Geng Biao said seriously.
"What did you say?" Mu Tianxiang almost choked to death, thinking of various results, but he didn't expect this.
"I said, I want to follow you. Geng Biao said word by word.
This kid can't be a glass, Mu Tianxiang inexplicably felt the chrysanthemum tighten.
Geng Biao estimated that if he knew Mu Tianxiang's dirty thoughts, he would probably kill Mu Tianxiang immediately, it was too dirty and too boring.
"Give me a reason," pondered for a moment. Mu Tianxiang said.
"I used to have a happy home, but it was destroyed by a monk of a sect for no reason, and the whole family escaped from me, and the women of our family died very miserably," Geng Biao said: "I have been hiding in Tibet for so many years, and I don't even dare to take revenge." ”
"A tragic story, but this reason is not enough. Mu Tianxiang said.
"After so many years of working together, I found that the pastor was not accustomed to the rule of the monks and paid great attention to the rights of ordinary people. I see that the pastor has often gone out recently, and he should have his own ideas, and I can see the personality of the pastor very clearly. Geng Biao said: "I know you don't trust me, and I am willing to sign a "Master-Servant Agreement" with the pastor. ”
"Master-Servant Agreement", there is nothing to say about this, this world, once this kind of agreement is signed, the bound people can't even think of resisting. Loyalty is absolutely fine.
"Then how do you explain to the Mercenary Alliance. Mu Tianxiang thought of this problem.
"There's nothing to explain, the Mercenary Alliance is a loose organization like the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and I'm not a high-level person, no one will pay attention, and if I don't contact him for a long time, they will think I'm dead. Geng Biao said indifferently.
"Okay, I'll think about it. Mu Tianxiang said.
Mu Tianxiang asked Geng Biao to go out first, and recruited Hao Jun and Zhang Wei, and talked about it roughly. The two were also very surprised, and in the end, in order to ensure safety, Mu Tianxiang and Geng Biao signed a "Master-Servant Agreement" with a term of fifty years, which was not long or short, and both parties were satisfied.
Originally, Mu Tianxiang didn't want to sign it, thinking that Geng Biao's sincerity was enough, but he couldn't resist the persuasion of Hao Jun and the others. Mu Tianxiang is now involved in the interests and life and death of tens of thousands of people, and he can't be careless, and it just so happens that Geng Biao is also voluntary, so he agrees.
With Geng Biao's help, many things went smoothly.
The conversation with Ma Tiejun and Ma Tiefeng brothers was also very smooth.
Take Ma Tiejun's words. We were all abandoned by the family, and Mr. Mu gave us opportunities and hopes, and if we don't follow Mr. Mu, it's not that our brains are in water.
Yes, I hope that with so many brothers trusting him, Mu Tianxiang has nothing to regret.
Mu Tianxiang and others gathered all the materials in the barracks, and those who were willing to leave were given full severance pay.
In the end, there were nearly 50,000 people who were willing to follow, although the personnel exceeded Mu Tianxiang's expectations, and the burden in the future would definitely be heavy, but looking at everyone's earnest expressions, Mu Tianxiang had no reason to give up on anyone.
Hao Jun is right, no matter how many difficulties there are, the brothers will carry them together.
Mu Tianxiang left Sun Moon Fort and rushed to the private army base with everyone.
The abandonment of Sun Moon Castle meant that the forces of the Bloodthirsty Gate could easily enter. This world will become more lively.
It's lively, it's good to fish in troubled waters when it's messy. Mu Tianxiang thought as he rode on his horse.
