……

The big ship sailed forward, and Liu Yifeng's voice in the water gradually became inaudible.

Seeing Ling Huyi and Wuxin looking at him with a puzzled expression, Mu Qiuhuang was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me, do you have flowers on my face?" ”

Ling Hu Ji looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a strange expression, his face was red as if he was constipated, he had followed Mu Qingen for decades, and he had seen Mu Qingen march countless times...... It's just that Mu Qingen has always been upright, and there has been such a style there. Although Ling Hu Jian also led the troops alone, he knew the truth that the soldiers were not tired of cheating, but he had never seen this kind of turning his face when he said it? One moment ago, the two of them still hated each other like a family, and the next moment, you didn't admit that you kicked people into the water? What's more, they have promised to send you across the river alone! That's it, you still don't let people go? To put it mildly, Mu Qiuhuang's approach has a little bit of villainy...... However, as an eagle dog, Ling Hujie knows the truth that righteousness comes first and loyalty comes first, so he is not dissatisfied with Mu Qiuhuang's approach, but he feels a little weird, and he is also in awe of Mu Qiuhuang in his heart.

And Wuxin is different, Wuxin is simple in nature, and he can't give birth to those weird thoughts at all, but fortunately, he also knows that Mu Qiuhuang is not the kind of person who is a big traitor...... Therefore, when he heard Mu Qiuhuang's question at this time, his words were quite polite, and he replied seriously: "The donor's approach is too capricious. ”

"Capricious?"

Mu Qiuhuang laughed when he heard this, and he was not ashamed at all, but said proudly: "As the saying goes, snakes to snakes come to shrimp and shrimps, and turtle kings and eight pairs of in-laws...... How can a hypocrite like him be worthy of befriending me? If I had really befriended him, wouldn't I have become the eighth king of the tortoise? ”

"Hypocrisy?" Unintentionally puzzled.

Mu Qiuhuang turned his head to look at Wuxin, although he was not angry at the enthusiastic little monk, but he also felt that he was still a little too pedantic...... Although Mu Qiuhuang had the intention to take out the information collected by Huang Ling and hand it over to Wuxin, so that he could see the true face of this Liu Yifeng, he remembered that his move also contained a bit of selfishness, so he sighed and muttered to himself: "Forget it, let him go!" ”

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Wuxin and warned him: "Little monk, you should remember the saying that you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart." The real traitors are not terrible, because their wickedness is in the open, you can see it, you can see it, and you can naturally guard against it in advance. And those good old people who wear the mask of hypocrisy are really terrible, because they are very good at disguise, they hide all the evil in the dark, you can't see it, not only can't you see their evil, but you will be confused by the little goodness they expose on the surface and lose their vigilance, and then, they will suddenly stand up and stab you at some point...... It is only when people are most unprepared that they are hurt the deepest......"

"Thank you for the warning, the little monk should take it as a warning." Unintentionally thoughtful.

……

By the time we got to the other side, it was already evening.

After Mu Qiuhuang ordered all the ships to be gathered together, he drove all the people on the ship down, and ordered people to pour palm oil on the ship.

"Young master, are you really going to burn it all?" Ling Hu Ji looked at the big willow boats, showing a reluctant look.

Mu Qiuhuang said casually: "What can I do if I don't burn it? The boat is too big to take away, and even if it can be taken away, we Beiyu won't need him...... What's more, I just promised to give Liu Bagongzi a fireworks, have you forgotten? ”

"Ignition."

With the order of Linghu Ji, dozens of torches were thrown on these big willow ships at the same time, and after these big ships stained with palm oil encountered the torches, the fire spread instantly, and the fire rose to the sky, reflecting half of the sky on this side of the river bank red.

Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself on the other side of the Bahe River: "Take a good look at the fireworks in this river!" ”

……

Liu Yifeng looked at the fire rising to the sky on the other side of the river, his face was like ashes, and his bones crackled, and he gritted his teeth at Mu Qiuhuang, eager to drink his blood and eat his flesh...... You must know that a large part of the power of the Marquis of Haihun on the Bahe River is because of these Biliu boats, not to mention the manpower and financial resources required to build these Biliu ships, the time it takes to build a Biliu ship alone will take more than three years, and now these Biliu ships are destroyed in his hands.

In other words, Mu Qiuhuang's move has invisibly blocked his opportunity.

"Mu Qiuhuang, I will not share the sky with you......" Liu Yifeng shouted and scolded at the other side.

It's a pity that the Bahe River is too wide, and the words he cursed can't reach Mu Qiuhuang's ears after all.

……

At this time, Mu Qiuhuang is on top of another fishing boat on the Bahe River, the fishing boat is docked in the center of the Bahe River, and the distance from the banks on both sides is very far, but it can really see the raging flames burning on the big boat of Biliu, there are several seasonal side dishes and a pot of wine on the fishing boat, although they are all seasonal side dishes, but from the degree of exquisiteness of their production, it can be seen that these side dishes are far from being made by ordinary fishermen, and in addition to Mu Qiuhuang on the fishing boat, there is also a young man. The man's face looks a few years older than Mu Qiuhuang, but he is also handsome and extraordinary, and this person is also Liu Yilian, the second son of Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun.

It turned out that Mu Qiuhuang had already sent Huang Ling in advance before going to Wudang Mountain, and according to the information that Huang Ling fed back to Mu Qiuhuang, the three brothers who were expected to inherit the position of Marquis of Haihun were ranked in order, the second, the fourth, and the eighth...... And Mu Qiuhuang also sent someone to have secret contact with these three people...... At that time, the eighth child was happy to yearn for it, and the fourth child avoided it, and only the second child replied to Mu Qiuhuang with a sentence of "treat each other with sincerity...... And the final result was that Mu Qiuhuang used the matter of the eighth child in exchange for meeting the second child.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at the second child, who was the most promising successor to the position of Marquis of Haihun, glanced around, and said with interest: "The second son is too cautious, right?" Not even a single man who operates the ship is left? ”

Hearing this, Liu Yihuan smiled slightly and said: "There are many people in the Haihun Marquis Mansion, and there are many people who talk about right and wrong, and I can't compare to Brother Mu's root red seedlings ......."

"Really? The second son still doesn't want to boast about my goodness like this. Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly.

Liu Yihuan turned his head to look at the raging flames, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu is really a big deal...... But Brother Mu, do you know that if you do this, you will completely offend my Haihun Marquis Mansion? Although these big ships are in charge of Lao Ba, in the final analysis, these are the property of my Haihun Marquis Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang asked rhetorically, "Aren't the fireworks beautiful?" ”

"It's good-looking, it's just a waste of money." There was a hint of pity in Liu Yilian's tone.

Mu Qiuhuang took a sip of the wine glass, and said leisurely: "Since the scenery is beautiful, don't worry about mundane things like money and silver...... What's more, didn't the second son once say to my subordinates that they should treat each other with sincerity? I thought about it for a long time, and felt that only by completely offending the eighth prince to death could I show my sincerity to the second son. ”

Liu Yichuan smiled and said, "Haha...... Brother Mu laughed, there is nothing more sincere than Brother Mu going to the banquet alone. ”

Mu Qiuhuang picked up the wine glass and took a sip alone, but did not speak.

Seeing Mu Qiuhuang's appearance, Liu Yichuan also picked up a wine glass and drank a glass with him, and then asked, "Why did you choose to make friends with me?" And not the old four and the eight? ”

Mu Qiuhuang pretended to be puzzled when he heard this: "What? You're not happy to befriend me? ”

Liu Yichuan laughed and said: "Willingly, naturally I am happy, it is my honor to be able to make friends with Brother Mu...... It's just that what I don't understand is, what can Brother Mu help me? What can I repay Brother Mu? ”

Actually, to be honest, Liu Yihuan really doesn't care much about his friendship with Mu Qiuhuang, because according to the situation in Haihun Hou's Mansion, as long as there is no intervention from foreign forces, Haihun Hou's position is in his pocket, but in order to avoid Mu Qiuhuang becoming the foreign aid of the fourth and eighth children, he will choose to meet Mu Qiuhuang. In fact, this is also where he doubts, because if Mu Qiuhuang wants to benefit from the succession of these sons of the Haihun Marquis Mansion, the other two obviously need strong foreign aid like Mu Qiuhuang, and Mu Qiuhuang can undoubtedly put forward more favorable conditions by choosing them.

Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly and said, "What I can help the second son is to stay neutral and not help the other two...... As for the returns? I don't need anything in return. ”

"Why?" Liu Yihuan was puzzled.

Mu Qiuhuang picked up the wine glass and said to himself: "How can there be so many in the world? Sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing...... Perhaps, it's just that my life is too blank, so I want to find something to do for myself. ”

Liu Yihuan looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a strange expression, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't it because after the Qi Sea of the Beiyu Shizi was abolished, people have also become stupid?" ”

……

At the same time, there was a stone pavilion on a hill not far from the shore, there was no palm lamp in the stone pavilion, and the night light tonight was not bright, and the extremely dim moonlight left a lot of shadows on the stone pavilion, and in the shadow stood a man, who stood quietly in the shadow of the stone pavilion motionless like a sculpture, and as if he were this shadow, in short, he had completely merged with the stone pavilion, with the hill, and with the ink, and his eyes looked in the direction of clairvoyance, It was not the place where the big willow boats were burning, but the small fishing boat where Mu Qiuhuang was.

"Have the fourth sons ever seen clearly? This is the sincerity that the young master of my family wants to express to the fourth son. "Su Xiaoxiao actually appeared in the pavilion at some point.

It turned out that the person hidden in the shadows in this pavilion was actually Liu Yiyong, the fourth son of the Haihun Marquis Mansion.

"What are your master's conditions?" Liu Yiyong's deep voice came from the shadows.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes showed a touch of joy when he heard this, knowing that Mu Qiuhuang's sincerity had successfully made him let down his guard, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "This is what the fourth prince wants to discuss with my master." ”

"Okay, reply to your master for me, saying that I look forward to meeting him."

Su nodded and said, "Fourth son, don't worry." ”

Just when Su Xiaoxiao was about to turn around and leave, Liu Yiyong suddenly said to himself: "I said why can't I find Yanzu?" It turns out that you secretly took refuge in the Beiyu Marquis Mansion. ”

Su Xiaoxiao explained: "There is no swallow foot in the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, only Huangling. ”

"Huang Ling? It's kind of interesting. A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yiyong's lips.
