The first time to set foot in the rivers and lakes Chapter 13 The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it

Aoki Castle has a long reputation in Higashibayashi. If it was 18 years ago, it was famous for its abundant Chengni inkstone, which was like jasper for its color view, caressing it like a baby's skin, and the ink was not dried up for several days, and it was highly respected by the literati and calligraphers. But now, Aoki City is famous for being the head of the Mu family. It's just a joke. Mu Yingshu, the head of the contemporary Mu family, is majestic and heroic, and in recent years, he has devoted himself to cultivating immortals, only asking about the way of heaven, and he is even nicknamed a cultivator. However, this famous cultivator did not cultivate the way of heaven, nor the way of the sword. Instead, he strangely put down his huge family business and left it alone, let it fall, and went to cultivate the Tao of lust and specialized in room surgery. Over the years, young and beautiful people have been everywhere, and good life has plagued Aoki Castle and its surroundings for hundreds of miles.

In addition to this merry and carefree family master in Aoki City, there is also a wise and talented Mu Pengli. It can be regarded as the role of the head of the family digging the pit and the brother filling it. In fact, Mu Pengli has indeed mastered the power of the Mu family over the years, whether it is the domineering person who deals with the bottom of the rivers and lakes, or the advantage of foreign businessmen, it can be regarded as a shrewd businessman. It's a pity that even so, it can't stop the trend of declining the second-rate family Mu family.

Mu Chengze, the sixth son of the Mu family, agrees with the fourth brother Mu Pengli's style of acting, but he only agrees. If he wants to do these things in pursuit of fame and fortune, it is really difficult for a strong man. He is dedicated to practicing martial arts and doesn't want to bother with other places, but in the eyes of outsiders, this good martial artist has not been able to reach the so-called master level for a long time, and he will inevitably be crowned with mediocre talent and a waste of resources. It doesn't matter if the Mu family doesn't collapse for a day, he is a veritable sixth son of Aoki City, and he will be at ease.

It's just that today things are a little different. A black carriage stopped in front of the Mu Mansion, and the carriage posted a striking "Mu" logo, what does this sign mean in Aoki City, I am afraid that the people in the city will be deeply impressed, silent. In the city, whether you are working in the lower ninth rate or working in the upper ninth rate, you have to give this word enough respect. Because no matter how declining the Mu family is, it is also the faΓ§ade of Aoki City, and it is said to be the same existence.

On the carriage, an old man in brocade clothes walked down, with white hair and an anxious look on his face.

Mu Chengze hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the old man, and laughed softly: "Uncle Shi, what is the big thing that provokes you to come to Aoki City in person, or let go of a lot of work and ignore it." ”

The white-haired old man pointed to the gate of Mu Mansion and said bluntly: "It was the head of the family who ordered me to come, saying that the situation was urgent, and when the family was in danger, although I was an old man, I was also a member of the Mu family, so I had to hurry here." ”

Mu Chengze was puzzled and asked, "Oh, uncle, why don't I know about this?"

The white-haired old man wrinkled his pale eyebrows and said with a serious expression: "Why, the head of the family didn't tell you? It seems that the matter has reached a certain urgency." Why don't you go and ask the head of the house?"

Mu Chengze's face was full of helplessness, and he muttered in his heart that he was confused. If the family is really in danger, how can there be time to write to you, the old elder, instead of informing the people around him first, no matter how confused the head of the family is, he will not be an idiot. He forced a smile and pretended to frown: "Then I'll help Uncle Shi go to the inner hall to rest first, and wait for me to go to the head of the family." ”

"It's so good, it's good, pity my old bones, the bumps along the way, almost didn't tear my ass apart. Later, you'll have to pick a comfortable bed for me, but no, and the chair should be more comfortable. The white-haired old man muttered.

"Pengli, the last time I saw you, you were only so old, why have you not grown up after so many years. Didn't you skip a meal all day? ”

"This old guy of mine can eat six taels of food at a time, you can't be a picky eater. How can you carry the Mu family if you don't grow up?"

The old man chattered, Mu Chengze didn't want to explain more, and he didn't want to explain the reason clearly with the old man, so he was silent. Black lines on the face.

Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

When Mu Chengze came to the door of Mu Mansion again, he found that there was more than one carriage with the flag of Mu in front of the door.

The carriages arrived just a moment ago. Mu Chengze looked at it, and it turned out that almost all the elders of the family had arrived. They are all here today, one after another, and now I think that they must have also been ordered by the letter of the head of the family. But he thought about it again, the elders of the family are all over the major city branches of Donglin, and they are coming in one after another today, which is also too coincidental. Could it be that the head of the family calculated the time to send a letter to the elders, and the head of the family no longer cultivates immortals? Or is it that the Mu family has reached some kind of critical juncture that causes him to have to deal with such a big battle? Or is it someone else's other motives? The thoughts in Mu Chengze's heart kept popping up, but there was no answer.

After a while, more than a dozen people rode horses directly to the door of Mufu.

The leader was dressed in black, with a black cloak covering almost all of his body, and he dismounted, slowly lifting his hood, revealing his true face. The man was in good spirits, and there was a hidden evil aura between his eyebrows, which made him extremely capable and energetic. Behind him, more than ten black-robed people dismounted and accompanied him.

Mu Chengze didn't dare to slack off, and when he saw this middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to himself between his eyebrows, he stepped forward slightly and bowed his hand and said, "Sixth brother Chengze has seen the eldest brother. ”

The person who came stepped forward and grabbed Mu Chengze's arm, patted Mu Chengze on the shoulder, laughed heartily, and said, "Sixth brother doesn't have to be polite, I haven't seen you for many years, you have finally grown up." I don't know how much the sixth brother has improved his martial arts. One day, I will take the time to compare with my eldest brother, haha. ”

"Cheng Ze's talent is dull, and he is ashamed to say that for so many years, he has not scored half a point in martial arts, and he never dares to do anything with his eldest brother. Mu Chengze said.

"Sixth brother, don't be ashamed of yourself, eldest brother believes that you will one day become the pillar of the Mu family, and you must also believe that water droplets can eventually penetrate stones, and Yunkai will eventually see the sun and moon. The man seemed to be comforting when he said this, but he gave the impression of a conclusive conclusion.

Mu Chengze smiled stiffly, and asked again: "Is the eldest brother okay for so many years?" You have always lived in a simple place, and when you went out of the mountain today, did you also receive a letter from the head of the family to come to the rescue?"

The man nodded and said, "Now that the family is in danger, I, as a member of the Mu family, have an obligation to come to the rescue." ”

Mu Chengze didn't give up, and then asked: "What kind of danger is it that can make the eldest brother go out? I don't know if the head of the family can explain in the letter? The younger brother is really a little puzzled." ”

The middle-aged man's face turned cold, no longer with a kind smile, and said, "How can I know about this kind of thing, I don't believe you go and ask these elders, or ask your dear second brother family master in person." β€œ

Second brother, this sounds very awkward. The man didn't care. As he spoke, he pointed to the heads of the families behind him.

At this time, an elder in gray clothes hurriedly explained: "I received the letter five days ago, and I have made an appointment to be here today. I started to come non-stop. There was no rest on the road. ”

Another Qingfu elder said, "I want to come closer, I received the letter three days ago, and I have also made an appointment to be here today." I also traveled day and night, and I only arrived today. ”

There are also many elders who have said that they have not rested for half a minute on the road, and they are all desperate to come to the rescue. This faithfulness shows that the elders are right.

Mu Chengze saw the tiredness on the faces of the elders, and was immediately relieved. These elders are all over the large and small cities of Donglin, among which those who are far away from Aoki City Road received the letter in advance, while some of the elders who are a little closer received the letter late, and read that the family is in danger according to the letter, so everyone is non-stop, day and night to hurry, so that they can arrive in time. It's not that none of these elders thought of sending a letter to the Mu family in advance, but that the person who planned it was thoughtful and was able to calculate the schedule for the elders to arrive at the Mu family, so that they could not arrive at the Mu family a few days or even an hour earlier. Mu Chengze thought of this section in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little shocked. The people behind this are already menacing, and there must be a lot of powerful ones waiting for them.

Mu Chengze came back to his senses, looked at the chill on his eldest brother's face, smiled heaped, and whispered, "Can the eldest brother help me entertain the elders, I will go and tell the head of the family." ”

"Since it was the head of the family who ordered us to come, there must be a time of crisis, little doll, can you take care of it?" said an elder. The elder was short-tempered and quite old, so it was reasonable to call Mu Chengze a little doll.

"No wonder some people say that our Mu family has no successor, it turns out that the head of the family has roots in this generation of brothers, and it is really a family misfortune. ”

The scene was chaotic for a while, and Mu Chengze had a hard time making a choice.

The man in black had a feminine smile on his face, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Sixth brother, you see that these elders are loyal, and they have come from thousands of miles away, if our Mu family puts them on hold again, I am afraid it will be chilling." In my opinion, let's go in now. ”

Mu Chengze said in a positive voice, with a bit of resoluteness in his language.

"Big brother, this matter is very likely to be caused by someone behind the scenes, and it is menacing, you can't be unaware. ”

"If the head of the family is wise and powerful, even if someone does it, there is no need to worry. If the head of the family is mediocre, even those of us who are here can ensure that the family is safe and sound, and there is no need to be afraid that someone will use this matter to eradicate dissidents. The man said seemingly casually.

The man whispered to Mu Chengze again: "In my opinion, our family is too prosperous, as long as someone does this, it may not be a good thing for the Mu family." ”

Mu Chengze's heart trembled when he heard this, and his face was full of shock.

The man in black smiled knowingly, continued to pat Mu Chengze's shoulder, which was not generous, and said, "If the twilight is too strong, it is easy to accumulate weakness." If you are weak for too long, it will inevitably decline. At that time, there will be many talents, and it will be difficult to return to the heyday of the ancestors, while it is not too late, I still have some strength, so I should make some contributions to the Mu family. The sixth brother just watched. ”

Wait until everyone and the elders rush in, leaving Mu Chengze alone in the same place.

He turned his head to look at the black-robed figures, the color of which was as rich as a black cloud, and the storm could not blow them away, because they brought the storm with them.

He didn't have a reason to think of a sentence, the black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, but this city was not Aoki City, but Mu Mansion, Mu Mansion's family business for hundreds of years, and today it was bound to have another turmoil.

After today, will the Mu family be gone? He didn't know.

Today, he can't know if their brothers are going to show their swords and face each other.

Mu Chengze closed his eyes, shook his head again, tried to get rid of the chaos in his heart, and walked quickly towards Yanwutang.
