Chapter Eighty-Nine: Once I Was a Businessman
Untying the rope tied to his wrist in a slippery way, Mo Yun bent his waist and hid his body under the city, looking around, but he didn't see a single guard of Wang Weisi, which made him feel fortunate and at the same time felt that Lin'an City was really going to end.
When the allied forces entered the vicinity of Lin'an City and stationed there, Zhongsi had already led his small detachment away from them, but there was no lack of exploration, knowing that Lin'an City was a little frightened in the face of the coalition army, and Wang Weisi's few guards were all mobilized to the city heads of other military formations.
So much so that there was not a single figure on the blocked gate.
Zhongsi did not take his own team to follow Mo Yun into Lin'an City, and he could see Hong Xuchou alone with Mo Yun.
Zhongsi's martial arts skills are superb, and Mo Yun's ability on his feet is not weak, the two of them smoothly left the few guards who stayed under the city gate, bypassed the battlement near the city gate, and found the street near the Bai Mansion according to Mo Yun's sense of direction.
The two of them then stopped, unable to take a sneaky step.
In front of Baifu Street, Lin Rongpo led about 300 Wang Weisi guards to block the entrance of the street, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving this place.
"Let's go to the inner court first." Of course, Mo Yun was not happy, but the strength of the middle division was strong, and after transferring Xiao Qian, he still needed his help, so he had to nod silently and move along another path in the direction of the inner court.
There were already some dead people on some of the streets of Lin'an City, most of them mobs who were ordered to be killed during the riots.
Although this small-scale riot was not known outside the city, the luminous beads did not light up last night, which somewhat made professionals like Zhongji see the clues.
The hearts of the people in Lin'an City are no longer very stable.
The road to the inner court is quite difficult to walk, and the guards patrol one layer after another, but fortunately, although Hong Xuchou and Xu Liming are under house arrest, the guards are basically not very strict.
Presumably, Lin Rongpo didn't think that Mo Yun would come back.
He didn't dare to say that the control of Lin'an City was foolproof, but he dared to ensure the protection of the inner court.
Of course, Mo Yun and Zhongsi are not among those who can be tightly resisted.
The two quietly climbed over the wall, and the middle secretary punched the passing guard to the ground.
Mo Yun glanced at Zhongsi, and didn't seem to expect that this cold man with murderous intent actually didn't kill the other party.
"Don't get in trouble." Nakaji said lightly.
Mo Yun punched the guards who had been knocked down by him before in the opposite direction.
Hong Xuchou, who heard the movement outside, opened the door and whispered: "The matter of poisoning people is solved?" ”
The middle secretary replied: "The poisoner was done by Lang Lao, not by Renyi Villa. Langyu Taige, Shang Sangui, the third guardian head, the middle division title, a certain one, I have seen Hong Sangui. ”
Zhongsi lowered his head slightly, which was considered a salute.
Hong Xuchou was stunned, as if he didn't expect the leader of the Langge team outside the city to actually run to the inner court in Lin'an City: "Adventure!" You should be out there to answer me at all times! ”
Zhongsi said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "We need to make sure that Hong Sangui is not dead before we can continue to stand by." ”
Hong Xuchou smiled and said, "Okay." You have a point. What about you? Saved us? ”
This was said to Mo Yun.
Mo Yun looked at the guards outside who couldn't get up for a while, took a few steps into the house, picked up a pot of tea casually, poured several sips into his mouth, and took a breath before saying:
"Bai Burong rebelled with the Bai family. Are you in league with them? The Ten Confederates are already waiting at the gate of Lin'an City, didn't you let them come? Most of the refugees outside Hang'an Mansion were burned alive, and the Ten Confederates didn't let them do it, right? Song Guo looks like it's over, you will either die for the country......" Mo Yun looked at Zhongsi, "It seems that you are not likely to do this." Either wait to be killed by Zhao Zhe. ”
Hong Xuchou felt that every time Mo Yun came back, it would not bring him any good news.
"The Confederates are so fast...... Bai Burong has no objections, but even if the Bai family doesn't have an accident now, they will be sanctioned in the future because they are rich and rival the country, and as long as they have the ability to protect themselves, they may not be able to rise for a while, after all, it is also after they have the title of their own city. How can there be a gang that is not a gang, if the Song Kingdom is united, there will be no mess happening now. ”
"As for martyrdom or being killed by Zhao Zhe......" Hong Xuchou glanced at Mo Yun, "I won't leave." What foreign aid does the Bai family have? He asked, as if he had remembered something.
"The Ten Confederates army drove straight in, and it was Bai Youcheng who put it in on the southwest border." Mo Yun said.
"Oh. Since the Ten Confederations are involved in the Bai family, then Lin'an City will at least not be burned to the ground, or the city will be destroyed and slaughtered. I just don't know how Zhao Zhe will choose. Hong Xuchou said.
"Song State has no other army? For example, soldiers who were forcibly retired...... This is the Song Kingdom of you and the King of Song, what have you governed all these years? One has passed away in the inner court, and the other actually told me that he refused to leave the place of house arrest, do you have Song Guo in your heart? Have you really brought peace to the Song Kingdom in the past forty years? The more Mo Yun spoke, the more angry he became, and finally simply turned around and left. Although he only spun around and knocked a few of the guards who were about to wake up down again.
Hong Xuchou looked deeply at the distance outside the gate leading to the rest of the inner court, and didn't know what he was missing, so he was silent for a moment, and said to Xu Liming inside:
"Actually, you can go out and have a look, or even go directly to the inner hall to collect the funeral for King Song."
Xu Liming's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak, but after hearing Hong Xuchou's suggestion, he thought about it: "It's okay." Bai Burong can't give up his family, and I can't lose King Song. Just in time to check it out again...... Zhao Zhe is also okay. ”
He said this, and did so, and got up, walked out the door, and walked down the road toward the inner sanctum.
Mo Yun pointed at himself, and then pointed at Xu Liming: "Just left?" ”
"Now, you can go about your business. For example, transfer your little thousand girls. And then come back to protect me. Actually, if it is possible, I hope you can protect the Song Kingdom. Hong Xuchou said.
"Shouldn't the Song people protect themselves? Actually, none of your affairs have anything to do with me. Mo Yun was silent for a while, then raised his head and said.
"Song people...... In the forty years of Chengping, there are countless merchants. Hong Xuchou smiled faintly, "Mo Yun, do you know what the biggest characteristic of a businessman is?" ”
Without waiting for Mo Yun to answer, Hong Xuchou asked himself and replied:
"Businessmen value profits, and those who value profits will weigh and know how to make trade-offs after all. So, the Bai family ...... It's a good start, and as long as an agreement is reached, there will be a steady stream of people who will surrender. ”
Hong Xuchou glanced at Mo Yun, pointed at himself and said, "I used to be a businessman. ”
