Chapter 48: Betrayal

"How long will it be in Hibiscus?" Li Heng's ears were actually red, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage to ask.

Seeing that he was a little weird, Uncle Wu frowned and said, "One day at most, we have been delaying for too long."

"Oh." Li Heng was slightly disappointed.

"Heng'er, I see that Mr. Mu has the intention to cultivate you, and when you follow me two or three more times, I will give you this road." Uncle Wu was also full of hopes for Li Heng, but more importantly, he wanted to give Li Heng to Mr. Mu, which would be conducive to the consolidation of his position in Moluo.

"Uncle Wu, I'm afraid...... No way. Li Heng didn't know when he began to dislike the days of being bumpy on the sea for many years. He suddenly felt that his value could actually be higher and freer, just like Xu Yunxi and them.

"I think you're playing tricks!" Uncle Wu became irritable when he heard this, "Okay, Li Heng, since you spent one night in Furong Town, I don't think you have put your mind on running a business anymore, who poured you ecstasy soup and made you crooked!" ”

Li Heng clearly felt that there was a hot breath from the soles of his feet rushing to the top of his head, not only the shame after the secret was revealed, but also mixed with some indescribable anger, Li Heng changed and became his own thoughts.

But he can bear it, at least on the face of it, he is still the same Li Heng who obeys Uncle Wu's orders.

Uncle Wu vented his anger, walked in front with a straight face, and walked for a while before Li Heng followed from behind, "Uncle Wu, I know that I was wrong, I will listen to you well in the future." ”

Uncle Wu was discouraged at this time, thinking that Li Heng had lost his way and returned to his hometown, and he would still be the best knife in his hand in the future.

Mr. Mu watched the two of them walk away from upstairs before returning to the room, and now his mission to Yuyuan is completed, and with the news from the Central Plains, they can better arrange the next move.

Xu Yunxi and the others finally recovered a little strength under the true qi injected by Li Heng and the antidote given, Xu Yunxi woke up first, but Mr. Mu was in the room, he was not in a hurry, but continued to pretend to be asleep, paying attention to Mr. Mu's actions.

Mr. Mu sat for a while and called his subordinates, "Are the officers and soldiers still guarding it today?"

"I heard that the king is coming back, and now except for the dock, which is heavily guarded, the rest have been sent to meet King Ming."

"We must get out of the abyss as soon as possible, before King Ming returns." Mr. Mu was sitting precariously, and two essences shot out of his eyes, "King Ming is afraid that he will return to Beijing soon, if he can seize this opportunity, Yuyuan is not in his pocket." ”

"Sir wise."

Xu Yunxi lay quietly on the bed, listening to their conversation, and had seven or eight points of understanding in his heart. This Mr. Mu should be a spy of Mo Luo who mixed into the fish abyss, stole the news of the Central Plains, and wanted to mess with me in the world.

However, there is one thing that makes Xu Yunxi puzzled, since the Shocking Wind Gate is already attached to King Ming, why should it collude with Mo Luo? Is there another hidden plot or is it a certain point under the frightening door, the wolf's ambition is to want to eat it all three?

Xu Yunxi recalled the blurred figure in front of him when he was unconscious, if the estimation was correct, it was Li Heng who saved them.

After Mr. Mu finished speaking, he lit a new pillar of sandalwood before going downstairs.

Xu Yunxi opened his eyes at this time, Sheng Lingyun gradually woke up, Xu Yunxi helped him up, and told him what happened. Sheng Lingyun rubbed his aching temples, "We have stepped into the abyss with one foot, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out." ”

Xu Yunxi was stunned. From self-proclaimed free-spiritedness to entry-level strife; From self-esteem and self-esteem, not mixed with temples to entering the border gates, I misheard state affairs. Now that Jiang Xiaotian has no time to find out what kind of secret he is hiding, in the face of the national disaster, they still have to move forward in unison.

"Let's not leave for a while, let's follow them first." Even though Xu Yunxi has a lot of emotion, he does not forget his responsibility. Now is a great opportunity, as long as you take down the Mo Luo spy, you can overturn the storm gate in one fell swoop.

Xu Yunxi propped himself up and walked to the burning incense, hit it on the ground, the incense broke, and then he began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find the antidote, but found nothing. "This incense has an antidote, it seems that it should be on Mr. Mu's body, we can let Li Heng think about it."

"I misread him." Sheng Lingyun remembered his bad attitude towards him before, and was a little ashamed.

Li Heng and Uncle Wu returned to the boat, and the boatmen went to look for it in the morning to no avail, and they had returned to the boat and waited anxiously. Uncle Wu didn't look at them, and went straight back to the cabin, Li Heng followed behind him, and glanced at a boatman.

Uncle Wu sat down at the table, took a sip of tea, and spit forward, "This tea is no longer fresh after the time." ”

Li Heng hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the teapot, "I'll go and make a new pot." Then he went to the bilge. Uncle Wu only said that Li Heng's courtesy was to please him, and he was relieved.

When the boatman just now saw Li Heng going downstairs, he avoided everyone and went down to help Li Heng add carbon.

"Li Gongzi, but they have news." The boatman asked in a low voice as he fanned the fire.

Li Heng took the tea leaves from the top of his head, just glanced at the entrance of the building, and then said while adding tea: "If you can trust me, take two people and secretly go to the tea house near Yule Building to wait for me."

The boatman got the letter, and now they have lost their backbone, and no matter what they believe or not, they hurriedly went upstairs and quietly greeted the two of them, and then secretly ran out of the boat when they had dinner at the Storm Gate, and went all the way to the place Li Heng said.

After eating, Uncle Wu asked everyone to clean up and rest early, and they could return tomorrow, and everyone responded and dispersed. When Uncle Wu went to the bow of the ship to inspect the ship, he found out that something was wrong.

"Li Heng! Li Heng! Uncle Wu called people into the boat, and Li Heng hurriedly got out of the boat.

"If someone is lost, take someone to find it, and there can be no more accidents tonight!" Uncle Wu was worried that this group of reckless people would go to the government to make trouble, and when the boat was detained, it would be really troublesome. Tomorrow Mr. Mu will take care of everything, and he must not repeat the incident.

Li Heng took a few disciples to get off the boat, and then instructed everyone to look for them separately, Li Heng watched them go away, and then walked to Yule Tower.

At that time, Mr. Mu was guarding Xu Yunxi and the two, and when he came back in the afternoon, he found that Xiang had fallen to the ground for some reason, but fortunately the two had not woken up yet, and it seemed that they were just two ordinary masters, so Mr. Mu relaxed his vigilance.

Mr. Mu went to Lingchuan Wharf today, but it was still strictly guarded, and it seemed that it was impossible to pass through Lingchuan. King Ming is now sure that it was the Moluo people who killed Li Xuan, and then there will inevitably be a big war between the two sides, if the emperor can recall King Ming now, they will have much more time to regain their strength, or they will find the murderer of Li Xuan first, and the two sides will join forces, why worry about not taking King Ming.

The deal between the Stormmon and Mo Luo has always been a cover, and Mr. Mu has come here to transport sea salt by pretending to be a member of the Ganhan tribe, and Stormgate is their main merchant. This is not false, the business on the road of the Storm Gate is indeed with them, but after Mr. Mu transports the sea salt away, he will resell it to the Ganhan clan for medicinal herbs, and then supply it to the Moro soldiers.

As their name suggests, the people of the Ganhan tribe are deep in the remote and extremely cold land, with scarce resources and the most lack of salt, but it is also their unique style and terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and have become a unique land of soldiers, so although they are small clans, no one is willing to spend a lot of manpower and energy to conquer them. In addition, it was their strange climate that gave birth to many rare treasures, which Ganhan also excavated and exchanged with his neighbors for what they needed. It was precisely because of this opportunity that Mo Luo joined forces with the Storm Gate to do this business, and took the opportunity to sneak into the Central Plains to hear the news.

Mr. Mu was unhappy about the detour and delaying time, so Li Heng went upstairs and knocked on the door, "Mr. Mu, are you there?" ”

Li Heng was not in a hurry to meet the boatman, he even deliberately avoided them, because he just wanted to find a legitimate reason to go out, and the person he really wanted to meet was Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu was alert and heard Li Heng's voice, thinking that it was sent by Uncle Wu, so he got up and opened the door, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Li Heng glanced left and right to make sure that there was no one around, and then mysteriously approached Mr. Mu, "Mr. Mu, let's talk in a different place." ”

Mr. Mu was suspicious when he saw that he was mysterious, but he still invited him to the next room, "You came by yourself?"

Li Heng nodded, "Mr. Mu, I came to talk to you about a business. ”

"Oh?" Mr. Mu is interested, Li Heng in the morning is still an obedient dog domesticated by Uncle Wu's side, and now he dares to recognize the new owner behind his master's back, but Mr. Mu is also Li Heng who likes to wake up.

Li Heng looked directly at Mr. Mu's eyes, "I think, Mr. Mu still doesn't know how many parties we have in the Storm Gate!" ”

When Li Heng heard the conversation between Uncle Wu and Mr. Mu before, he found that Uncle Wu had skipped the key news that the Storm Gate had been to Furong Town first and had also transported weapons, so he guessed that the Storm Gate had secretly kept a hand, but it was precisely because of this that he had the chips to fight with Mr. Mu.

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Mu looked at Li Heng playfully, Li Heng didn't see it, and then said: "If I say that although the news of the Central Plains was sold to you by the Storm Gate, it is not complete, for example, we also transported weapons here, Mr. Mu doesn't know about it!"

Mr. Mu changed his eyes at this time, it seems that Li Heng came after making enough preparations, the storm gate is really not simple, he wants to take this opportunity to make a big profit, but he doesn't know that he will die faster in this way.

"I really didn't misread you." Mr. Mu stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Heng to sit down, and the two talked about the cooperation transaction.

The pills Li Heng gave them had already passed their medicinal effects, and Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun's heads began to hurt again. But fortunately, when the two of them were awake, they had already raised a lot of true qi and sealed the acupoints, so that the fragrance could not invade the five internal organs in a short period of time, so they could still maintain their consciousness for a period of time.

After Li Heng and Mr. Mu reached an agreement, he walked out of the door, and suddenly remembered something and turned back, "Mr. Mu, can I ask you for two antidotes." ”

Mr. Mu stared, "This antidote is not beneficial to you, what are you going to do?" ”

"In the future, I will come to Mr. Mu for a long time, and Mr. Mu is very fragrant, so I must always be on guard." Li Heng is now a completely different face, and he doesn't look like he's half obedient, and Mr. Mu adds two more points of vigilance from his satisfaction with him. Li Heng is a person who will always be loyal if he uses it well, but if he doesn't use it well, it will be difficult to prevent cold arrows in his back.

But Mr. Mu is now a fellow with him, and it is difficult to refuse, so he took out a bottle from his arms, "Take it." ”

Li Heng took it happily, and then hurried downstairs.

When Li Heng came downstairs, he didn't walk straight out of the inn, but hurriedly stopped Xiao Er, who was about to deliver wine, handed over the silver, and quietly ordered: "Look at me when I walk to the side of the embankment, I will immediately send this pot of wine to the guests of Tianzihao." Then I walked outside.

There is a river not far in front of Yule Tower that is connected with two big rivers outside the city, and weeping willows are planted on both sides of the river to give shade to the people.

Mr. Mu was still upstairs watching him leave, and Li Heng was not in a hurry, and strode to the riverbank, where the green shade was dense, which could block the view of the inn.

Xiao Er was guarding at the door, and when he saw that Li Heng's figure had disappeared into the willow shade, he walked upstairs with a wine. Outside the Tianzi room, Mr. Mu leaned on the railing and looked from afar, and heard someone behind him, so he turned his head and saw Xiao Er ready to knock on the door.

"What are you going to do!" Mr. Mu's eyes lit up, and he drank Xiao Er.
