Volume 3 Pauling State Chapter 58 Faith and Choice
The attendants guarding outside the meeting room closed their mouths in surprise when they heard the names of so many powerful people, as if they were in the court of the Imperial Yang Capital, feeling the majesty of the place where human power gathered.
Mu Chen asked "Zhang Wuyang", but no one answered, so he laughed at himself: "I am very amorous." ”
"Give me the letters from Gao Huaiming and Han Chun, and you can arrange the rest. With that, he turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Wei Gonglu motioned for everyone to wait, and ordered the attendants to serve some refreshments, and he followed Mu Chen away.
Entering the inner courtyard, Mu Chen opened the envelope in his hand as he walked, Wei Gonglu didn't speak when he saw him reading the letter, and the two walked into the study silently.
The first letter to open was Gao Huaiming's letter, which read: Mu Chen, I heard that you are in Baoling City, and you have been separated for three years, as brothers who fought side by side in the past, it was really helpless to abandon you back then, and I hope you don't blame you. I have laid the foundation in Tianming City, which has a beautiful environment and fertile land, and under my suggestion, the city lord has frequent trade with Meijiao Island, and the people have lived a prosperous life. If you are going to stay in the hinterland, you can come and live here, and you will have a brother to protect your status and live a worry-free life. If you want to return to the wasteland, please come to meet and tell me about my lovesickness for many years. Finally, please say hello to Kiruna on my behalf. Fellow Gao Huaiming.
After reading the letter, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Mu Chen's mouth, and he folded the letter paper and stuffed it back into the envelope and put it on the table. Then he opened Han Chun's letter again, and smiled happily as soon as he read the first line.
The content of the letter is: Mu Chen, you are back, I should not have left you and Nana back then. This Qin Haizhou is already in chaos, I really can't hold on, I want to go to you immediately, but they won't let me go, saying that I will leave without a leader, and I can't resist the attack of the Dark Island. Do you say that I have the temperament of a dragon head, and am I qualified to lead them, I really want to return to you immediately, and honestly listen to the arrangements and do things, Mu Chen... Mu Chen, come and save me.
The content of the letter was not easy, but Mu Chen always kept a smile, occasionally laughed twice, and finally said to himself: "This kid doesn't even have a payment." ”
Wei Gonglu saw that Mu Chen had finished reading the two letters, so he asked, "Mu Chen, what should I do with these?"
Mu Chen glanced at Wei Gonglu, then at the thick stack of letters beside him, and replied, "Show me." ”
Wei Gonglu handed the letter to Mu Chen, who rummaged through them one by one, and finally took out one and put the others back on the table.
"I don't know a lot of family emblems and totems on the fire paint seal, just look at Wei Zhidan's. ”
Soon, he stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and unlike the previous two, he simply skimmed through it, and his expression didn't change much.
"My brother has respected you since he was a child, I don't know what he wrote in his letter?"
"It's all polite greetings, you have to be willing to read it, give it. With that, Mu Chen handed back the stack of letters to Wei Gonglu.
"This..."Wei Gonglu hesitated a little, after all, they were all private letters, how could he be embarrassed to reach out.
"It's okay, you can watch it if you want to, I'm not interested. Call the two messengers in. ”
The attendant at the door went to call the messenger, and Wei Gonglu took the letters, stacked them neatly and placed them on the table, without any intention of opening them.
After a while, the two messengers entered the study, saluted, and waited for Mu Chen's reply.
"Tell Gao Huaiming that I have time to look for him. ”
"Tell Han Chun that he has the ability to be the head of the dragons, don't underestimate yourself. The two messengers received a reply and left.
"Mu Chen, the rest..."
"You deal with it, I don't have the time to reply to the letters one by one, just send them away. ”
Wei Gonglu called the chief manager and told him to send off the guests, while he accompanied Mu Chen in the study to continue to talk about the matter.
"Wei Gonglu, I probably heard about the whereabouts of several of them when I was at the border, saying that they were all attached to the powerful and went their separate ways. Mu Chen was referring to several other people who were also pioneers.
"It's not about attachment, after you left, they separated, and it seems that they have rarely interacted in recent years. ”
According to the letter, Gao Huaiming is in Tianming City, Han Chun is in Qinhai City, the girl is here, and Zhang Wuyang is in Chengping City. ”
"Yes, yes, several pioneers are scattered in the state cities of the human continent, each keeping one side safe. ”
"You are very good at saying, if it is really safe for each party, why does Han Chun still say that Qinhai Prefecture is in chaos and the people are not living, what happened?"
"Qin Haizhou is a little special, it..."Wei Gonglu roughly told Mu Chen about the situation there, and sighed several times during this time, looking pity.
Mu Chen nodded silently after hearing this, and did not make any response.
In the noble council, Quan Yuren hadn't gotten up yet, and Lao Chen hurriedly entered the door to report: "Master, the city gate patrol guards are here to report, and a large number of messengers entered the city this morning and gathered outside the gate of the guard's mansion." ”
"Quick, change my clothes... Go, go and call Lian Bazin, I'm going to take him to Mu Chen. Quan Yuren got up in a panic and washed and changed his clothes under the service of the maid.
When they arrived at the palace, the gate was empty, and the messengers had already left, so he entered the palace with the reluctant Lianbazan Zimu, and waited for the attendants to pass through.
Wei Gonglu received the news, and was just about to get up when he was stopped by Mu Chen, and said disdainfully: "Let that fat man come in, just talk here." ”
Quan Yuren and Lianbazan Qimu walked through the garden of the inner courtyard under the leadership of the guards and the attendants of the guard, and Lianbazan Qimu swaggered and admired the gardening, without showing a nervous expression.
"Yo, isn't this the fat head of the business group, look at the expression, it's been a good past two days. Mu Chen went out to greet him, and said sarcastically after seeing Lianbazan Qimu.
"It's... You..."When Lianbazan Qimu saw Mu Chen, he was first surprised, and then glanced at Quan Yuren with a complaining look, he didn't know that Mu Chen was here, Quan Yuren only told him that he wanted to go to Lord Wei's mansion to discuss the specific matters of compensation, and tricked him here.
"Old city lord, Lord Chief, please. Wei Gonglu stretched out his hand and invited them into the study.
Lianbazan Qimu followed behind Quan Yuren with his waist and his head sideways, and even instinctively dodged when he passed by Mu Chen, and hurriedly quickened his pace into the room.
The four of them sat down in the study, and Quan Yuren spoke: "Lord Wei, I heard that your mansion is receiving guests, I don't know if my arrival now will have an impact." ”
"Old city lord, what kind of guests are they, they are all messengers who come to visit, I heard that Mu Chen is temporarily living in my mansion, and the relatives of the emperor, high-ranking officials and dignitaries have sent people to greet them. You look at the letters on this table, the old man helped Mu Chen cope with it all morning, and it has already been sorted out. Seeing that Quan Yuren was straight to the point, Wei Gonglu did not hide it, and directly told him the truth, so that he should not be complacent, the competition for Mu Chen had just begun.
"Alright, what are you talking about this useless about. Fatty, please do something. ”
"You say... You say. ”
"After returning to the wasteland, hide the truth about the death of the merchant group, and do what Quan Yuren said, is it okay?"
"Okay... Okay, no problems. ”
"You're happy to say yes, but I don't believe you, you have to leave something behind to put me at ease. Mu Chen got up from his seat and walked towards Lianbazan Qimu.
"Really... Really, I don't dare to deceive you, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can use it as a guarantee. Lianbazin Zimu slumped back in his chair.
"What is left, it is safest to leave your life behind. With that, Mu Chen grabbed Lianbazan Qimu by the collar and dragged him out of the door.
Quan Yuren, who was waiting for the agreement to be reached, got up in a panic and followed out when he saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Mu Chen, don't be rash, if you want to kill him, I'll be really finished." Mu Chen..."
"Please let me go, please, when I go back, according to Prince Ren's wishes, I will say that the death of the merchant group was caused by the fire in the black market, and I will never tell the truth, please spare me." Prince Ren... Prince Ren, quick... Help me. ”
Although Wei Gonglu's study was still a few rooms away from Jiayue's residence, the sound of their argument was unusually loud in the quiet corridor, and Chunyue and Wei Rou opened the door to check the situation, just in time to hear the cry of Lianbazan Qimu into the room.
Jiayue, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes, rolled over and fell from the bed to the ground, she lay for nearly three days, her body was weak, and her legs were not enough to support her to stand up.
"I... Ahem... Ahem... Kill him, cough... Kill him. Katsuki coughed incessantly as she suddenly shouted, but she still struggled to drag her body with her arms and crawl out the door.
Chunyue, who was checking the situation, immediately turned around, saw her sister wake up, hurriedly ran over and picked her up with Wei Rou, and cried at the same time: "Sister... Sister, you're awake, I thought..."
"Go... Go kill the master, Skeletron... Skeletron..."Jiayue glared at her eyes and was furious, trying to summon Skeletron, but her body was weak, and she read it several times, and it didn't appear.
"Jiayue, you wait first, wait first. Wei Rou let her go and ran out of the door to inform everyone.
"Jiayue is awake, Jiayue is awake, uncle, Lord Mu Chen, she is awake. ”
Hearing Wei Rou's shouting, Mu Chen knocked Lianbazan Qimu unconscious with a punch, threw him on the ground and ran over to check, Wei Gonglu followed, Quan Yuren twisted his body back and forth, in a dilemma, and finally chose to visit Jiayue first.
Seeing Mu Chen appear in front of her, Jia Yue grabbed him and hurriedly asked with concern: "How is Erniu, where are the twelve guards?"
"I've settled the affairs of the merchant group, you settle down first, with me, no one can threaten you, you are too weak to be angry now. ”
"I heard the voice of the principal, is he here, Mu Chen, you go and kill him, go and kill him. ”
"Okay, okay, you listen to me..."Before he finished speaking, he knocked Jiayue unconscious with one palm, and then hugged her to lie down.
"Mu Chen, you are..."
"Don't worry, Junyue, now that she's awake, there's nothing to worry about. With her current state, she can't let her know too much, you and Wei Rou go and prepare some soothing decoctions and food, and when she calms down, she will persuade her to eat, as for the rest, let's talk about it later. ”
Mu Chen asked Quan Yuren to bring Lian Bazan Qimu, in fact, it was to wake up Jiayue, but in the end, he still overcame reason with emotion and did not wait for Jiayue's own choice.
