Chapter 835: Ambitions Spreading in Eastern Xinjiang

Mu Xianjun, the little grandfather of Mu Mansion, walked slowly by the small lake in the backyard with his hands, and Cui Jiu cautiously followed behind. He has no other feelings for this little grandfather except fear, because he knows very well how strong and ruthless the little grandfather is. Few people know that Cui Jiu is actually Mu Xianjun's subordinate.

Not long after Mu Xianjun was born, Su Yang of Penglai Mountain, who was particularly close to Mu Guangling, saw that he had excellent roots, so he asked Mu Guangling to wait for Mu Xianjun to send him to Penglai Mountain to learn art when he was four years old. Cui Jiu was one of the subordinates sent by Mu Guangling to serve Mu Xianjun.

Nearly 20 years have passed, and not to mention those diners in Mu Mansion, even those people in Mu Mansion, few still remember what Cui Jiu looked like. What's more, his appearance has changed a lot. Not only is he old, but the two scars on his face are too disgusting and hideous, and people dare not stare at them carefully.

This scar was drawn by Mu Xianjun himself.

"Little grandfather, although there is no shortage of masters in those rivers and lakes, but after all, it is a plate of loose sand, and the Shanhaiguan guard He Dingfang has cultivated well, and has a good way of governing the army, if you don't think about it well, it will be difficult to capture Shanhaiguan with these Jianghu guests. It is also unknown whether He Dingfang can be assassinated...... Therefore, how to do it, please let the little grandfather make it clear. ”

"He Dingfang is foolish, such a person has a dead brain, no matter how strong he is, there is nothing to fear."

Mu Xianjun said with some contempt as he walked: "If it wasn't for my father's recommendation, how could he, a prisoner exiled on the frontier, be promoted to the general of Shanhaiguan?" But this person knows the Entu newspaper at all, if he is a righteous person, he should have come over to persuade his father to raise an army, and then open the Shanhai Pass to welcome his father into the Central Plains...... He didn't come, just because he was stupid and loyal to the Great Sui, and if people are too stubborn, they deserve to die. ”

He glanced at Cui Jiu: "Has anyone ever doubted your identity?" ”

"Absolutely not!"

Cui Jiu hurriedly said: "My subordinates have been away from Mu Mansion for twenty years, and the people I knew each other at the beginning are basically gone. Even if there are a few people who know each other, they have forgotten that there is such a person as a subordinate. At the beginning, the little grandfather sent the news of his subordinates' deaths back early, who dared to doubt your words, little grandfather? No one in the house doubted it, and those Jianghu guests would not doubt it. They all thought that I, like them, had come to Mufu to seek refuge. ”

"That's good......"

Mu Xianjun said in a calm tone: "Father is the most affectionate, He Dingfang is my father's old subordinate, I can't get rid of this person, I can't let my father know that I arranged it, and no one can know that there are people from the Mu family involved." Let everyone think that this is the spontaneous action of those Jianghu guests in order to repay Mu Fu. My father hasn't made up his mind until now, isn't he burdened by his false name? So, there are things that must be done in advance so that the father can move forward. ”

"After you do this well, I will be able to promote you justifiably."

Mu Xianjun stood still, turned around and patted Cui Jiu's shoulder: "You have followed me for so many years, you have always been steady and reliable in your work, and you understand the principle that those who are slaves should serve their masters, so I will not fail to remember your benefits." After this is done, I will ask my father to organize the Jianghu guests in the palace into an army, and I plan to hand over this team to you to lead. ”

was slapped by Mu Xianjun, and Cui Jiu trembled involuntarily.

"Thank you for the cultivation of Little Grandpa! The subordinates will definitely live up to the hopes of the little grandfather and do their best to do this well. ”

"Hmm"

Mu Xianjun was very satisfied with his performance, he always believed that only by letting the people below have absolute fear of him would he have absolute obedience. But for the sake of Mufu's false name for so many years, he had to go against his will and learn from his father, treating everyone politely, and he had to be very sincere.

Of course, he did a good job. No one doubted his humble and polite eyes, because he was indeed very good at acting. not only deceived these Jianghu guests, but also those senior brothers in Penglai Mountain, and even his master Su Yang always thought that he was a humble gentleman and a kind and gentle person.

Only Cui Jiu knew how terrible this person was when he was ruthless. A few years ago, Mu Xianjun was arranging everything today, he deliberately told his family that Cui Jiu accidentally fell off a cliff and died, and then scraped Cui Jiu's face with his own hands, let him leave Penglai Mountain, and returned to Mu Mansion as a down-and-out guest.

As for those charlatans, not to mention. Who would doubt Cui Jiu's origin for no reason?

Cui Jiuzhi said, Mu Xianjun has been waiting for Mu Guangling to call him back from Penglai Mountain, how terrible is a young man who could think of how to act in a few years ago?

When Cui Jiu's eyes looked down, he could see the disgusting scars on his cheekbones that were as disgusting as earthworms. It is rare for a person to see his cheekbones when he looks down, but because of this scar, Cui Jiu feels trembling every time he looks down.

"To employ people, we still have to use trustworthy people."

Mu Xianjun seemed to smile apologetically: "I know that I have done this to you a little too much at the beginning, but it is also for the sake of your future in the future." Only in this way can you make great achievements and get ahead. You yourself should also understand that your identity is just a coated slave of the Mu family, a person like you, if you don't get rid of the slave status, what can you do even if you make a contribution? Still a minion. But if you want to get rid of slavery, you have to nod your father's head and agree...... And, with his father's temperament, would he easily choose you to entrust him with a heavy responsibility? ”

Cui Jiu hurriedly shook his head: "The little grandfather's hard work is understood by his subordinates. The subordinates have always been grateful for the kindness of the little grandfather, and they can't wait to repay each other with death. ”

"It's good that you understand it yourself."

Mu Xianjun said: "Only in this way, you faked your death and broke away from the Mu family, and you are the former slave Xiao Jiuzi, but Cui Jiu, a guest in the rivers and lakes." If you do a good job in Shanhaiguan, your father will raise troops, and in order to appease people's hearts, he will naturally not ignore your merits. When the time comes, I can still help you come to the position of a five-rank general. Cui Jiu...... No matter whether people are noble or lowly in this life, they will always encounter some opportunities, and when the opportunity comes, only waste will watch it pass by, do you understand? ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Cui Jiu lowered his head and said: "The little grandfather's orders, his subordinates will never give up." ”

"Let's go"

Mu Xianjun waved his hand: "Do what you have to do...... You just asked me how to get rid of He Dingfang, don't you know that He Dingfang didn't have a child until he was fifty years old? Now the child is only a full moon, and this is his weakness...... If the next thing needs to be carefully instructed to do by me, then what else do I want you to do? ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Cui Jiu nodded hurriedly, bowed and retreated.

Mu Xianjun glanced at Cui Jiu's back, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

In this matter, there can be no shadow of the Mu family's involvement, so that everyone thinks that this is an action organized by those Jianghu guests in order to repay their kindness, and it has nothing to do with Mu Fu at all...... This is what he just said to Cui Jiu, if Cui Jiu understood what he meant, would he still thank him for his cultivation?

Penglai Mountain

When the people on the rivers and lakes talk about the holy land of the rivers and lakes, the people in the Western Regions will naturally regard the Dalun Temple of the Great Snow Mountain as a holy place. Because the people of the Central Plains are not so devout in their beliefs, the concept of the holy land they think is very different from that of the people of the Western Regions grassland. However, Qingle Mountain is a one-gas view, and Wudang Mountain Sanqingguan is still recognized as a holy place in the rivers and lakes, because ordinary Jianghu guests in these two places dare not offend at all.

The people in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains have more or less heard some rumors about Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea, but the disciples of this sect are too low-key, rarely walk in the rivers and lakes, and have not left any remarkable deeds, so they have only heard of it. When most Jianghu guests think of the holy land of martial arts in their minds, they will never think of Penglai Mountain.

In this place, there has never been a cultivator as powerful as Zhang Zhenren, and even if there is, no one knows the Dao. Second, there is no recognition from the imperial court, and it is located in a remote area.

Penglai Mountain is on Penglai Island

There will always be some legends about overseas sword immortals among the fishermen along the coast, and in the legends, there are always some fishermen who go out to sea to fish, and they happen to see the sword immortals with great magical powers either to get rid of the vicious dragon, or to save the fishermen who fell into the sea, anyway, they are the embodiment of justice.

Most of these rumors are actually related to the cultivators on Penglai Island.

There is only one sect on Penglai Island, and it is called Penglai Sect. This sect has been established for a long, long time, at least longer than the founding of the Great Sui State. According to the rules set by the ancestor of the Penglai sect, Penglai Island only accepts pure students. There is no other desire, only pure cultivation. Therefore, there have not been many disciples of the Penglai Sect. After all, not many people can really set their goal in life only on one spiritual practice, and have no other desires.

Because of this, the current sect leader Su Yang felt the need to change this rule, because in his generation, there were less than thirty people in the Penglai Sect. When he inherited the position of sect master, there was not a single new disciple in the mountain! Therefore, Su Yang was particularly afraid, in the long run, then the Penglai Sect might not be long before it perished.

In fact, at this time, Su Yang was also faintly aware in fear that if he had such an idea, he had already moved away from the purpose of having no desire and no desire left by his ancestral master.

When he wanted to continue the sect, the desire was already born.

So, he left Penglai Island many times, accepted many disciples, and then became friends with Mu Guangling, the head of the Mu Mansion. In just over 20 years, Penglai Island is now extremely prosperous, with 800 disciples, and the mountain gate has become more and more magnificent.

Standing under a big tree, Su Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the disciples in the square practice martial arts: "The door is becoming more and more prosperous, and I am worthy of my ancestors." I can't let the Penglai Sect be destroyed in my hands, and I also want the Penglai Sect to prosper...... How do you go forward? ”

The person standing beside him was silent for a while, and then shook his head: "The world only knows the Central Plains Dao Sect, where does the Dao know that there is my Penglai Sect?" Why? ”

He asked.

Su Yang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes...... If you want the sect to continue, how can you avoid being mixed with secular rights? Qingle Mountain has been famous all over the world for just over ten years, isn't it because the imperial court has crowned a national teacher? ”

He was surrounded by humanitarians: "The Yang family built the Great Sui and respected Taoism...... Now the world is in chaos, and the ...... is in charge Don't you see that there is an opportunity in front of you, if someone can destroy the Great Sui and establish a new country, and this person has a relationship with the sect, then is my Penglai Sect the next Taoist sect, or even surpassing the Taoist sect, is the sect in charge of the sect not confident? ”
