"Ahem, ahem. ”

Chen Mu woke up in the first glimmer of light in the morning, and when he woke up, he coughed several times and barely vomited out the water in his lungs.

Suppressing the pain coming from his throat, Chen Mu looked around, only to find that he was still in an iron cage.

"Ha, haha! cough, cough!"

Still locked in a cage, Chen Mu didn't know why he could still laugh, but his heart was happy, he knew that there was no reason for a fisherman to die in the belly of a fish?

"You're awake. ”

Outside the prison, the second master was looking at Chen Mu through the door and window, his golden eyes were unwavering, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Chen Mu struggled to get up, he staggered to the cell door, and grabbed the door and window with his hand.

"Well, I survived, you should keep your promise and let those children go. ”

The second master didn't speak, he unlocked the door and walked in. In front of him, the young man who could barely keep himself from falling with his hands on his knees, although his body was weak, but the stubborn eyes when he looked at him reminded him that there was once such a person, and it was the same. But he hates this man.

In an instant, it was so fast that Chen Mu didn't have time to react, he had been lifted up by the man with a hat by the neck, and his already uncomfortable throat became more and more painful because of the second master's move.

"Even if you survived last night, you have to understand that I want to kill you very easily. ”

After the second master said this, he threw Chen Mu to the ground and let him cough in pain.

After a long time, the second master spoke: "You have many secrets on your body, and I am very interested in these secrets, so I will not kill you." As for those children, I released them last night, and you can go back to Yangji to see for yourself, but I still don't agree with you. ”

Will this man keep his word? Chen Mu didn't know.

Chen Mu stared at the other party, trying to see the traces of lying in the other party's eyes: "I know, it's difficult to change your mind, after all, we weren't from the same world before." ”

The second boss thought that Chen Mu was talking about the difference in life experience between the two, and he was noncommittal.

"Now tell me your secret, where did you get those beast bones?"

"Beast bones?" Chen Mu's face changed slightly.

The second master raised his eyebrows: "Curious how I know?"

Chen Mu recalled it in his mind, and finally frowned: "You are the seller of the Black Heart Lotus?"

The second master nodded: "That's right, it's me." ”

"I picked up all those beast bones. ”

Chen Mu didn't dare to tell others that he knew how to fish, especially since the other party had a deal with the Ming clan.

"Picked up?"

The second master glanced at Chen Mu, who tilted his head to the side, and it seemed that he couldn't ask anything.

"If you can pick it up later, you can sell it to me. ”

Chen Mu's face was full of suspicion: "Sell it to you?"

"Do you still have this expression on your body?"

"Naturally, no. ”

The second master stared at Chen Mu and said in a serious tone: "This thing is very important to me, if you really have it, sell it to me, I won't let you suffer." ”

Chen Mu didn't speak.

"Okay, we will have the opportunity to meet in the future, and when you are interested, you can sell it to me at any time. ”

Chen Mu scolded in his heart: But I don't have a chance to meet, next month I will go to the Qingluo Realm Mixed Yuan Academy with Sister Tianzhen, what about the two of you in the future, bye-bye! Chen Mu doesn't want to be remembered by a strange person in the future, those golden pupils, every time he looks at it, he panics.

Picking up a life, Chen Mu pointed out the door: "Can I go?"

The second master didn't get angry but laughed: "Could it be that you still want to stay here for another night?"

Chen Muyi recalled the coldness and fear when his body was soaked in water yesterday, and goosebumps rose all over his body: "Don't! I don't want to experience it a second time!"

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the prison, and when he passed by the man in the hat, Chen Mu was still guarding against whether the other party would make a black move, but it turned out that he was too worried.

Out of the water prison, Chen Mu felt that the air was much fresher, at least not as salty and wet as in the prison.

As soon as Chen Mu stretched his waist, he was hugged by Yixiang Soft.

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

Looking at Mu Tianzhen's weeping face, Chen Mu was a little distressed, thinking that there was still moisture on his clothes, he was afraid that he would stain the girl, so he gently pushed Mu Tianzhen away.

Chen Mu showed a smile: "It's okay, I'm not good." ”

Mu Tianzhen continued: "They didn't do anything unfavorable to Brother Chen, right?"

Chen Mu thought to himself that if he let Sister Tianzhen know that he had soaked in the Ming River all night, wouldn't he worry about death, so he shook his head: "No, the second master just asked me some questions about the Ming Beast Bone." ”

"He's the seller at that auction house, no wonder he says he knows you. ”

As smart as Mu Tianzhen guessed the identity of the second master at once, she was a little worried: "Then Brother Chen told him the identity of your fisherman?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "Naturally not, I just found a reason to prevaricate." ”

Since he knew the seriousness of fishing Ming, where did Chen Mu dare to tell outsiders that until now, the fact that he would fish Ming was only known to Mu Tianzhen, Mu Yushu and Li Dazhu, three people he trusted.

"Sister Tianzhen, we shouldn't be worried if we haven't returned to Uncle Mu overnight, I still have one more thing to report to Uncle Mu, let's go back to Yangji." ”

"Hmm. ”

Although the second leader of the hat man said that he had released Tian'er, Chen Mu still had to go back to confirm. Besides, Heiba Village uses children to trade with the Ming clan as true, and this alone is not punishable, and he wants to ask Uncle Mu to send troops to crusade against this Heiba Village.

On the way back to Yangji, Chen Mu and Mu Tianzhen talked about the things that Heiba Village had done to destroy human nature, and Mu Tianzhen also clenched his teeth after listening to it, and his eyes revealed a light of hatred. As soon as the two arrived in Yangji, they dispersed according to the tasks assigned on the road: Mu Tianzhen went to report to Mu Yushu, and Chen Mu went to confirm whether the children were really released.

Chen Mu went straight to Sister Su's house, but happened to meet Li Dazhu, who was rubbing his head and brains outside Su's house, and was sneaky.

Chen Mu touched his back.

"What to do?"

Li Dazhui was startled by the sudden voice, and after seeing that it was Chen Mu, he said dissatisfiedly: "Whew, did I say that your kid walks silently?"

Chen Mu smiled and asked, "Old man Li, why don't you go in and have a look if you're worried?"

Li Dazhui showed a hesitant expression: "Forget it, since I already know that Tian'er came back safely, I don't need to go in and disturb." ”

When Li Dazhui said this, he looked at Chen Mu with strange eyes: "It's strange to say, my mother's children all came back last night, and I don't know which kind person found them?"

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that all the children had returned, it seemed that the second master was still a trustworthy person, but this did not mean that Chen Mu forgave him, his values, his transactions with the Ming clan, were all things that Chen Mu could not agree with.

Seeing that Chen Mu didn't speak, Li Dazhui was even more suspicious, Chen Mu didn't come to work in his shop yesterday, and he disappeared when he went to Mu Mansion to look for him, couldn't this kid go to find it? Thinking of the drunken talk of the two after drinking the day before yesterday, this kid is really a caring person, and Li Dazhui is also more and more pleasing to the eye when he looks at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu said: "Old man Li, Uncle Mu still has something to do with me, I'll leave first." ”

Li Dazhui smiled heartily: "Okay, come to me tonight, I will invite you to drink." ”

......

When Chen Mu returned to the Mu Mansion, he was told by his subordinates that Mu Yushu was gathering the Grand Dukes of Yangji in the main hall to talk about things.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Chen Mu felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing: on the throne, Mu Yushu frowned, Mu Tianzhen stood beside him, and those grand dukes who were present all bowed their heads and looked nervous, afraid that it would be them who were unlucky.

Mu Yushu was not angry: "Zhu Dafu, hasn't he arrived yet?"

The obese man who appeared at the dinner party in Mufu was sweating on his forehead, and he said, "City Lord, Grand Duke Sun said that he was sick at home and couldn't come. ”

"What a grandson, I think he is weak-hearted and doesn't dare to come to see me!"

Mu Yushu was angry, he looked at everyone: "You know my attitude towards the Ming clan, that Sun Qian colluded with the villains of Heiba Village, eating inside and crawling outside, conspiring with thieves to imprison my daughter, the crime is increased by one degree, and trading with the Ming clan and endangering the children of Yangji should be punished!"

The sweat on the fat man's forehead was even more, and he immediately followed Mu Yushu's words and said, "I have long seen that Sun Qian's guy is not a good person, and now that this kind of thing has happened, the city lord will definitely punish him severely!"

The other grand dukes in the palace also chimed in: "Please punish Sun Qian severely from the city lord!"

"Sun Qian is a small matter here, the key is the thieves in Heiba Village. They have endangered the security around Yangji for many years, and now their minions have reached out to the children in the city, and they don't take me, the city lord of Yangji, in their eyes at all!"

Mu Yushu said as he looked at the Grand Dukes with eagle eyes.

When the fat man saw Mu Yushu looking at him, he hurriedly said, "What the city lord said is right! That Heiba Village is too arrogant, we Yangji have to show them some colors!"

"What I want now is not to return the color, what I want is to completely eradicate the cancer of Heiba Village!"

As soon as Mu Yushu said this, the expressions of the grand dukes in the audience changed, and an old grand duke said: "City lord, the black dam village has been curled up on the bank of the Ming River for many years, and the successive city lords have also wanted to exterminate them, but there are many thieves who are deeply rooted, and they often end up without a problem. ”

Mu Yushu raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man: "Is Gong Li doubting my determination?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. The old man hurriedly shook his head, "I'm just worried that the Black Dam Village is powerful, even if the Yangji Defenders can really succeed in destroying the Black Dam Village, it will also cause great damage to the foundation!"

"If Li Gong is really worried about this......

Mu Yushu changed his words, looked at the grand dukes and smiled: "Then you might as well lend me your government army, I will definitely remember this kindness!"

"This ......"

Not only the old man, but all the Grand Dukes present were dumbfounded.

"That's it!" Mu Yushu decided, "You guys go back and gather the government army, and early tomorrow morning, kill Heiba Village!"

"Alas......"

"It's miserable, it's miserable......"

When those grand dukes walked past Chen Mu and left the palace gate, they all hung their heads in despair, and their expressions were as many as they were, but Chen Mu had no sympathy for this. With the lessons of Sun Jin and Sun Tian's family, the ghost knows how many of these big kilometers are Yangji's moths!

After the grand dukes left, only Mu Yushu's father and daughter and Chen Mu were left in the hall.

Mu Yushu said to her daughter: "Zhen'er, you go back first, I have something to say to Nephew Chen." ”

Mu Tianzhen Mu Tianzhen didn't have the slightest doubt and said, "Okay, then daddy, let's talk." ”

After Mu Tianzhen left, Mu Yushu looked at Chen Mu condescendingly, his eyes were full of disgust and other emotional entanglements, and finally returned to normal: "I really don't know if the decision to take you in was right or not, do you know that Zhen'er also exposed her identity as a royal monk for you to fight with the thieves in Heiba Village?"

"Tianzhen?"

"If the Ming clan who traded with Sun Jin in Heiba Village said this, do you know what kind of danger Zhen'er will fall into?"

Chen Mu was speechless, he didn't know that Mu Tianzhen, a stupid girl, would actually do it for himself and Sun Jin, who had passed through the secluded realm, and he didn't even realize it before.

"Tianzhen, is she hurt?"

"Fortunately, if Zhen'er is injured, huh, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me?"

Chen Mu smiled stupidly, but secretly blamed himself in his heart for not letting Mu Tianzhen take risks for himself next time.
