First time in the rivers and lakes Chapter 1 Poor rivers and lakes lost dogs
The Donglin Mu family can only be regarded as a second-rate family in the entire Donglin, and the contemporary Mu family's head Mu Ying is not famous, and he is barely "conscientious". It is said that Mu Yingshu was only mediocre in his qualifications when he was young, but he was constantly having opportunities, not only did he meet an immortal master who was immortal and taught a superior exercise. Later, the monk who was called the immortal gave the proverb of "doing nothing and ruling for a long time", you know, the immortal speaks, and it is impossible for mortals to hear it without that blessing. This also made Mu Ying Department become the head of the Mu family smoothly along the way, and his luck was said by many good people to be the ancestor of the Mu family.
Speaking of which, the Mu family can have today depends on the foresight of the original ancestors. I think that Mu Qingjian, the ancestor of the Mu family, not only had an ordinary background, but his qualifications were even more mediocre, but he couldn't stop the opportunities of others, and he not only got the favor of the immortals, but also gave him a pair of magic treasure scrolls. You must know that in the whole world, the number of treasure scrolls is only a handful. There are even rumors that when the world was opened, the ancient gods and demons understood the transformation of heaven and earth. Mu Qingjian did not waste this treasure scroll at all, it was like a dream every day, he realized a pair of fists, and he had been diligent and penanced for many years, so that he could achieve martial arts in the year of not being confused. Even in that golden age of talent, he was also a master of the rankings. At the height of its fame, the Ju clan migrated to Donglin, and with a few brothers who were born and died and made friends, they gained a firm foothold in Donglin and passed down the foundation of these hundreds of years.
Mu Qing's advice: Learn and excel, and show is business.
The family is established by force, and it needs to be passed on by business.
Roughly speaking, the ancestors of the Mu family don't want their descendants to be rough people who can only do martial arts, and a strong family is indispensable for money, connections, and force. The ancestor of the Mu family can be said to be far away in martial arts, and naturally needs money and connections to supplement it. The descendants of the Mu family are also undiminished, several generations of family heads rely on some extraordinary means and the love of the ancestors of the Mu family, earning some gray income of daily gold, so as to quickly complete the initial accumulation, and then after a hundred years of precipitation, the Mu family can be said to be soaring, becoming a famous family in Donglin, and those first-class families, there is only a line of separation, but this line of separation, the difference between the abyss, must not sigh.
Many people in the rivers and lakes think that as long as the Mu family can maintain a straight posture and wait for an opportunity to move, it is not impossible to replace the Jiang family, which is a first-class family, in one fell swoop. But who knows, but when everything happens, prosperity will decline, and manpower cannot return to the sky. The Mu family seems to have made a joke in recent years.
The Mu family, which was originally only a few lines away from the first-class family, has not only advanced bravely in recent years, but it has been declining. Mu Yingshu, the head of the family, has managed the family in line with the "rule by inaction" over the years, which directly caused the Mu family's momentum to plummet, and even made the income suffer a fatal blow. You know, the momentum of a famous man and the sword in the sheath are good things that can scare people. In this regard, the children of the Mu family are not without complaints about the head of the family.
Fortunately, the old head of the Mu family has lamented the talents of his family, among which he is most famous for "the Mu family has Peng, and the gift goes out of the East China Sea". The fact is that Mu Pengli, the fourth son of the old family owner, has just played the role of the Mu family's housekeeper over the years, acting vigorously and resolutely, bowing his head and waist, opening up sources and reducing expenditure, and various methods have made the Mu family recover a little bit of momentum, and it is still a bit of a second-rate family. In addition, the younger generations of his subordinates are still competitive, and they have worked hard to take back some of the ways that were originally eaten away by other families, and the Mu family can be regarded as a person who has just recovered from a serious illness, and it has improved slightly.
This trip to help the children of the Jiang family, the Mu family can not be said to have done their best. After all, for this olive branch that took root in the towering tree of Donglin, there are only a handful of people in the world who dare to snub the Jiang family, and this of course does not include the Mu family, which barely maintains the momentum of the second-rate family. Mu Pengli, known as the big housekeeper, told him not to have any accidents. In terms of personnel, in addition to a few old guards who really couldn't leave, the Mu family stayed at home to deter the younger generations, even Mu Liangwu, the fifth elder of the Mu family who had not asked about the world for many years, also dispatched, as well as many elite guards carefully selected by the family, and Liang Xiong, an elder who had a great reputation in the rivers and lakes in his early years, also came out of the mountain, and the blood-colored spear in his hand back then was famous in Donglin, and even famous in the world. Such a combination appears in the rivers and lakes together, and it will definitely be regarded as the number one bodyguard combination. But this time, they just assisted Mu Pengli's daughter together.
At the front of the line, a woman in a purple tight-fitting suit rode a white horse in front, and she hung a small long sword from her waist, and the scabbard was equipped with beautiful jade, which anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was very valuable. In terms of single appearance, Mu Yiya can be regarded as a city even if it is not a country, but it is commendable that she is heroic, because she has been in the top position for a long time, and is deeply influenced by her father Mu Pengli, her bones have an inviolable heroic spirit, which naturally emanates.
The middle-aged man on the side was also riding forward, seemingly keeping pace with Mu Yiya, but in fact, he was tightly holding half a position behind.
Although Mu Liangwu himself has not asked about the world for many years, he is not an old-fashioned person who does not know how to deal with people, as a family elder of the concubine line, he may have been high-spirited and talented in the early years, but these are not as bright as Mu Penglidi of the sister-in-law, which makes it difficult to show his reputation in Donglin. In addition, the head of the family has done nothing over the years, has no power, and is disheartened, so he slowly fades out of the power center of the Mu family.
The heroic woman in purple wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead with her hand, looked at the mountain pass in the distance, and said slowly: "Fifth uncle, go a little further, and you will arrive at the Purple Pine Temple." ”
Mu Liangwu's face was a little yellow, years of alcoholism caused by the gradual loss of qi and blood, he didn't see a trace of a smile, opened his mouth and said with a strong hoarseness: "Although the Purple Pine Temple is known as the Temple of Thieves, but there are many rabbles in it, this trip, the itinerary is tight, we can't afford to delay, those thieves are only afraid of some trouble to deal with, when the time comes, I will ask Elder Liang to take action to deter Xiaoxiao." What he didn't say was that he wanted to come to Elder Liang Xiong, who had been hidden for many years, and the blood spear that Donglin was famous for should also be bloodthirsty.
After hearing this, the horse behind Mu Liangwu just shook the wine bag in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "The fifth master smiled, this thief near the Zisong Temple has dealt with me a few times, and it is still a little thin friendship, I believe that there will be no problem at that time, and this young lady can also rest assured." ”
When Mu Liangwu heard this, he smiled and was noncommittal.
He turned his head to look at the middle-aged man's white sideburns, and said with emotion: "Liang Xiong, who frightened the chaisang thief back then, has become this drunken old ghost today, which no one can imagine. I don't know if those people who died tragically under the bloody guns back then, when they saw your appearance today, should they sigh that the years are ruthless, or should they be angry at the bad luck?"
When he turned his head again, the voice behind him that was not mellow sounded, "What about sighing, the years are ruthless after all, what can be done with anger, the people who don't deserve to die are dead, but the damned people are still alive, like me, still dragging their feet." ”
After speaking, he took another sip of wine and said lightly: "Actually, I really didn't love killing back then. ”
At that time, dozens of bandits were killed in one night, and the blood continued for several months, and finally had to be stopped by the leader of the big bandits.
When the woman in the purple powersuit in front heard this secret for the first time, she couldn't help but be interested, and asked tentatively, "How did Elder Liang be majestic and heroic back then, killing seven in and seven out in the thief mountain forest? ”
Liang Xiong's expression was a little lonely, his face was a little pale, as if he didn't want to mention the dusty past over the years, nor did he want to mention the pain that was always lingering in his heart, and sighed: "Old past, don't mention it." ”
The woman in the purple power suit, who was once rated as "a woman or a woman", who was not suspicious of Mu Pengli, did not delve into the meaning, and hurriedly smiled: "Then the matter of the Purple Pine Temple will trouble Elder Liang to come forward to adjust one or two, and it is best not to fight." We must not delay in making a move. ”
Mu Liangwu nodded, appreciating the little niece's interest. He turned his head and glanced at the convoy, which was not too many, and then looked at the young woman beside him: "This cart of goods itself is not a rare object, it is worthy of the Mu family's cautious action, it seems really ridiculous." Over the years, Donglin seems to be limited by aura, and the Jiang family has changed its previous domineering posture and acted in a low-key manner since that major event. The situation of my Mu family has taken a sharp turn for the worse under the succession of the wise family master. This time I went to the Jiang family, could it be that I was going to repair the plank road in the bright and secretly Chen Cang? It seems that which young talent of the Jiang family has taken a fancy to his niece?"
The woman in the purple suit smiled, but the corners of her eyes were unnatural, and her tone revealed a sense of arrogance, and she said softly: "The fifth uncle loves to laugh, the so-called young talents of the Jiang family's generation are just a group of straw bales, Rao is I dare to commit to marry, who of them dares to ask for it." Besides, if the Jiang family really wants to repair relations with the Mu family, this matter has to rely on my father. Maruya··· If he really reappeared in Donglin, if the time came, not to mention that the Mu family groveled, I am afraid that the entire Donglin would have to bow his head and be a slave. ”
"Qingdi, a name that has been around for a long time. It's a pity that my Donglin's talent and aura have only created a Qing Emperor of the Jiang family, otherwise the general trend of the world, we may not be able to compete. Fortunately, there is only one Jiang family, otherwise our Mu family will be able to come out in what year and month. If we had realized it twenty years earlier, we would never have ended up like this, and today we may have been the first of the three cities. Fortunately, it's not too late. It's not too late. There was a trace of regret, a hint of happiness, and a bit of ambiguity in Mu Liangwu's words.
Mu Yiya was silent, pursed her lips, and remembered her father's advice before leaving, but she did her best and obeyed the destiny of heaven. Father, father, if you don't follow the head of the family, why don't you rise up and bring the prosperity of the family.
"Fifth uncle, I heard that the Qing Emperor visited the Mu family that year, and he wanted to connect with his relatives, and he annotated many secrets of the Mu family. But really?"
Mu Liangwu seemed to have heard a great happy event, and his face was full of energy, but he only said slowly: "Who still remembers this old thing." I only remember that the third sister was fascinated by it back then, and the ancient building of the Mu family was even more visionary. As for the Flying Sword, how dare we and other ordinary people talk about it. ”
Liang Xiong, who was behind him, picked up the wine bag in his hand and poured it.
"Muyun Donglin, when the Qingdi Division, this flower is in full bloom, and a hundred flowers should be killed. Qingdi, Qingdi·····"
Mu Yiya, as the heir of the Mu family, is really not pleasing to Liang Xiong's drunken posture. If it weren't for his father's earnest teachings, "Laughing and scolding, all hidden inside, silent for a long time, and responding with a slight chin", plus these years of cultivation, I am afraid that I would not be so calm, but respectful and far away.
Mu Yiya turned her head and glanced at the man with the sword not far behind her, and subconsciously frowned.
This man can only be regarded as wearing a clean blue robe, and his appearance has nothing to do with being handsome and chic. It was also difficult for her to understand Liang Xiong's evaluation of the pure heart of a swordsman. In Mu Yiya's opinion, this person is just an extremely arrogant, pretending to be a ghost, and it is possible to live a life without a meal, and he is not known from where he is equipped with a broken sword that does not know money, and does the small work of escorting, but fortunately he hired him on this trip, otherwise he might starve to death on the street. It's good that one day he will die at the hands of some well-known master.
In other words, in Miss Mu's eyes, he is an ordinary and pitiful lost dog.
The man with the broken sword closed his eyes at first, seemingly practicing on the back of a bumpy horse, but at this moment he seemed to feel Mu Yiya's gaze, opened his eyes slightly, and lowered his head again.
Mu Yiya chuckled lightly and turned her head forward.
