Chapter 0138: The Backbone
Chen Mu forcibly restricted the power of the supervising army, which led to Xiang Dangyang's letter to the imperial court.
Soon after, His Majesty's rebuke letter fell from the sky.
This is a handwritten letter written by the emperor himself, with harsh and merciless words, bitterly criticizing Chen Mu's dictatorship, claiming that if he does not change his ways, he will be dismissed and investigated.
However, the emperor did not send a commissioner to Dunhuang to read the holy decree, but only wrote a letter to Chen Mu, which was already regarded as saving face for Chen Mu.
Chen Mu believes that even if he insists on it any longer, the emperor may not dismiss me from his post and investigate him, after all, Vice General Anxi is the position of the Tang clan's gate valve, and if the emperor wants to move, he still needs to pass Tang Qiong's pass first. However, Chen Mu felt that there was no need to compete with the emperor in this matter, after all, they were at the thigh level.
Chen Mu asked Han Herb to prepare an atonement document, and then asked the lame man to come forward and invite Xiang Dangyang to come to the general's living room to drink.
Ever since the cripple heard that Chen Mu was going to study artillery, he was busy all day as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Chen Mu couldn't figure out what he was busy with.
However, now the lame man has also learned to make a report, so that Chen Mu knows some figures, such as the lame man cultivated seventeen killers, there are three hidden piles that successfully penetrated the ninth division, 3,000 yuan of money and wealth, and the discovery of iron ore Yunyun in Dadong Mountain.
Regarding the discovery of iron ore, Chen Mu was highly consistent with the lame man's thoughts and did not move for the time being.
——
On a spring night, with a gentle breeze, an old man with resolute eyes walked towards the alley with a limp, and when he came to the darkest corner of the alley, he knocked lightly on the door.
If he hadn't knocked, others wouldn't even know it was a door.
The door opened, and a woman with a delicate face stood in the doorway, holding a knife in her hand.
The woman didn't have any good feelings for the lame, but when he saw the man in white behind the lame, he was stunned on the spot.
The lame man said to Chen Mu: "I arranged her here, and I have never felt sorry for her." ”
Chen Mu stepped in, there was a very small courtyard here, so small that it was less than a leap, in such a small courtyard, there were two doors, two small dilapidated houses, and dilapidated window lattice paper, announcing to the world that this place had long been abandoned.
"Why don't you go find me?" Chen Mu asked in a low voice: "In your mind, am I a person who doesn't talk about people?" ”
Zhong Lixiang didn't speak, still holding a knife in his hand.
"How do you live in Dunhuang?" Chen Mu stretched his neck and looked at the place where the girl lived: "Don't go out and steal something to eat, right?" Why do you believe in cripples? He doesn't seem to be very friendly to you all along. ”
Zhong Lixiang said indignantly: "He is a real villain, you are a hypocrite." I think real villains are more credible than hypocrites. ”
Chen Mu shook his head: "I really don't know how I offended you. Although I never claim to be a gentleman, I also don't admit that I am a hypocrite. Please don't put a label on my head. Anyone should have more than one tag. ”
Zhong Lixiang put the knife against Chen Mu's heart: "How many women are there around you?" ”
Chen Mu reached out to push the knife in the girl's hand, but the girl still refused to move away, she looked like a little leopard at this time.
Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "If you don't believe in a person, ten thousand images of him will appear in your mind." If you believe in a person, then he will never change. I don't know what kind of person I am in your mind? ”
Zhong Lixiang glared at Chen Mu and didn't speak.
Chen Mu said again: "Miss Zhongli, let me say something that you may not believe very much, I like every woman with a story very much, in your mouth, I belong to Feng *Cheng*, but I am not obscene." ”
Chen Mu took half a step back, and Zhong Lixiang's knife followed half a step.
The lame man coughed lightly beside him: "Zhong Lixiang, you are still too young." Don't look at Chen Mu is only two years older than you, but he has an old man's heart. ”
Zhong Lixiang still maintained the movement of holding the knife in his backhand.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Say, what do you want me to help you?" Is it to help you retake the Black Hawk Gate? If that's the case, I think you'd better give up, I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the killer group. It's better for you to stay, I'll give you money and let you live a good life. ”
Zhong Lixiang withdrew the knife, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes: "If I was just for money, I didn't have to come to you." ”
Chen Mu said lightly: "The most painful thing in the world is revenge. From the beginning of hatred, to the fight with the enemy, even if it is to kill the enemy, the whole process is extremely torturous. And you take revenge, and you sow a new karmic hatred. Someone else is coming to kill you again to take revenge. From then on, you were in fear. If you want to live happily, you have to learn to forget. I know it's so hard for a girl your age to forget something. But if I, as a general, would be as glad as you are. And guess how many people I'm going to kill? ”
Zhong Lixiang said: "I didn't say I wanted revenge. The elder brother has avenged me, he has killed my father's killer. ”
Chen Mu was puzzled: "Then why did he drive you away?" ”
Zhong Lixiang said: "He didn't pick me up, I had to leave by myself." Do you think I have no one to want? ”
Chen Mu felt that he had hit a few nails in a row, but he was not angry, but teased: "It seems that you are not pitiful enough, since this is the case, then I will go first, and when you are pitiful enough, I will come to see you." ”
"If you leave now, don't come again!" The teenage girl stomped.
"Okay, that's what you said." Chen Mu walked away with his back hand.
"Hey! You're really gone! The girl was so angry that she stomped her feet continuously.
Chen Mu stood at the door and said with a smile: "I don't come here to see you, you can go to me to see me." You go, I'll give you mutton to eat. I can grill skewers and grill them pretty well. ”
"I want to eat it now!"
"Then come with me now."
When Zhong Lixiang followed Chen Mu to the General's Mansion, Xiang Dangyang, the supervising army, had been hanging in the house for a long time.
The lame man invited Xiang Dangyang to Chen Mu's house, but Chen Mu ran out to see Zhong Lixiang. Only Zhang Han, Hanxiang and Xiaohuan were left in the room to chat with Xiang Dangyang.
Zhang Han is like a stuffy gourd, and he doesn't talk much. Xiang Dangyang asked Zhang Han some questions, and when Zhang Han felt that it was difficult to answer, he even responded with silence, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing. Fortunately, Hanxiang was quick to solve the embarrassment many times. Later, Xiang Dangyang no longer tested anything. Because he knows that Zhang Han looks stupid, but he actually has a backbone.
Xiaohuan was kebabing outside the house, which had already been grilled into a pile, but Chen Mu had not come back at this time, and the maid was a little anxious. Before leaving, Chen Mu said to Xiaohuan, if you bake it all before I come back, the pocket money for next month will be gone.
The lamb skewers that were first cooked were already cold, so Xiaohuan picked them up and grilled them again. While roasting and stealing food, Xiaohuan is almost full at this time.
Finally seeing Chen Mu and the cripple walking back, the corners of Xiaohuan's mouth just smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he disappeared when he saw Zhong Lixiang's figure.
The maid's face became unsightly.
