Chapter Seventy-Five: The Fragrance of Cinnamon Seeds

Mu Chong exclaimed: "Looking in the wrong direction? Could it be that you were thinking of disrupting all the deployments of this Qinglong Hall from the beginning? ”

Wen Xuan shook his head and said: "That's not true, I also understood this after experiencing Gui'an County." The famine in the north continues, floods are frequent, hunger is everywhere, and even the food in most of the capital can barely be maintained by relying on the transportation of water in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Cai Chaotou of the tail water altar must also take a fancy to this point before he would rather apostasy and go to the sea, after all, if he can't even eat his stomach, how can he have the strength to kneel down and worship King Ming? ”

"In that case, why don't we go straight to Wenzhou and Taiwan? Do you still have to spend energy to support Shen Fu? ”

Wen Xuan replied: "Shipping is an excellent trade route, and it would be too tyrannical to rob the imperial court's transportation. As long as Shen Fu can gain a firm foothold there, we can secretly transport the silk, grain, and porcelain produced in the south of the Yangtze River to Wenzhou and Taiwan, and then use the maritime trade route to transport overseas to exchange for spices, jewelry, and other treasures, so that we can quickly accumulate wealth for future events. ”

"It's a bit bold, but it's a great idea." Mu Chong nodded again and again, then looked directly at Wen Xuan, and said meaningfully: "But it doesn't sound like you're helping Mingjiao do things, the huge Qinglong Hall is like a chess piece in your hand." ”

Wen Xuan heard that Mu Chong was testing his true opinion of Mingjiao, and replied truthfully: "The Wen family and Mingjiao are originally a cooperative relationship brought together for the purpose of overthrowing the Yuan court, and it is impossible for me to believe in King Ming and be a pious disciple of the sect, and the reason why I agreed to the sect leaders and elders in the mountains to go down the mountain is just to make my father's life better. ”

Mu Chong has never had a good impression of Mingjiao because of his parents, and he has never regarded himself as a disciple of Mingjiao, so after hearing that Wen Xuan could sincerely say what he thought to himself, he was not angry but happy, and showed a shallow smile at the corner of his mouth.

Although he will continue to follow the Wen family according to his father's wishes no matter what, he is undoubtedly very encouraged after discovering Wen Xuan's various amazing methods, after all, in such a troubled world, which husband does not want to make a name for himself? Mu Chong is no exception.

Wen Xuan also fell into contemplation after seeing Mu Chong's mind clearly, since he woke up in this world, he was immediately involved in the entanglement of various forces, so that he didn't even seriously enjoy the family affection he valued the most for a moment before leaving for Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As for what role should I play in this era of heroes? Wen Xuan has no specific plans now, so he can only move forward at a loss with the mentality of taking one step at a time.

After all, the troubled times of war are coming, and even a towering tree like Mingjiao may not be able to survive in the war......

Since this time they were moving along the official road, the two of them also changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and Mu Chong had to leave the jet-black iron gun that had never left him in the teahouse.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that the two found an inn where they could spend the night.

The shopkeeper took a stool and prepared to cool off at the door, and when he saw Wen Xuan and Mu Chong, he immediately pulled off the rag on his shoulder, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Two guest officers, please!" ”

Mu Chong nodded, "You can ask for two guest rooms." ”

"Okay! Two superior rooms! Xiao Er gave in sideways, welcomed the two in, and shouted at the cabinet as he walked, and the loud voice scared away the wild birds perched on the old trees at the door of the inn.

The shopkeeper turned out to be a young woman with a melon seed face, although she was not a first-class beauty, but her appearance was quite attractive.

Don't look at the inn's operation, but the clothes on its body are very exquisite, and the fragrant appearance makes everyone who has been on the road for a day unconsciously lift a little spirit.

"Hey, what a handsome guy!" can do the business of ushering in the send-off, the female shopkeeper is naturally a delicate person, and her almond-like eyes flickered slightly, and she quietly praised Mu Chong.

Mu Chong has lived in the mountains for a long time, where have you seen any women? was ticked by the bold and straightforward words of the female shopkeeper, and his face suddenly turned red, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

The guests in the inn laughed when they saw this, and an old guest also coaxed, "Little brother, our shopkeeper is the most fragrant cinnamon in this radius of dozens of miles, look at today, it is unbearable to open in advance in Ji Xia, you are really a good fortune!" ”

Wen Xuan also laughed after hearing this.

Mu Chong was embarrassed to look at these guests who were teasing him, and he didn't dare to turn his head to smell the osmanthus fragrance beside him, so he could only turn around and glare at Wen Xuan fiercely.

The female shopkeeper didn't expect Mu Chong to be so shy, pursed her lips and laughed, and told Xiao Er to get some wine and food for the two, and she personally walked in front of Mu Chong to lead the way.

The guest room is on the second floor, and the female shopkeeper swayed her figure up the wooden staircase, and the slight "dongdong" sound of her footsteps was very similar to the sound of Mu Chong's heart beating, which made the young and handsome young man uncomfortable, and the back of the upper body could not feel straight or bent, and she had to nervously straighten her chest every two steps.

"It just so happened that the two of you came, there are only two rooms left in my store, I don't know how many days I want to stay?"

Wen Xuan chuckled silently, deliberately not helping the shy Mu Chong to relieve the siege, Mu Chong had no choice but to look tentatively at the female shopkeeper, and replied softly: "One night is fine." ”

The female shopkeeper has been in charge of the inn for many years, but she has never seen such a ashamed man as Mu Chong, so she also raised a little interest in her heart, suddenly stopped her figure, and half turned to look at Mu Chong and teased: "Little brother, doesn't he treat me as a tigress who can eat people, that's why he is so afraid of me?" ”

"Don't dare." Mu Chong's throat became more and more dry between his eyes, and after speaking, he quickly cleared his throat and lowered his head deeper.

The female shopkeeper became more and more bold, stretched out her slender index finger like a green onion and picked it at Mu Chong's chin, and asked directly: "Is that because I look too ugly?" ”

The moment he was touched by his fingertips, Mu Chong's body was as excited as if he had been struck by lightning, looked at the female shopkeeper in astonishment, and replied in a panic: "No, you are very good-looking." ”

"How pretty?" The female shopkeeper bent her eyebrows, and her smart eyes carried a cunning and seriousness.

Mu Chong couldn't help but be stunned, and said solemnly: "It's as good-looking as my mother......"
