"You asked me to send troops to dig a ditch for you?" Fang Xian asked.

"Not to dig for me." Mu Dianke said: "If the general is unwilling, I can set a fire and blow up the Mikura Winery." ”

If what Mu Dianke said was true, there was an astonishing amount of strong gunpowder buried under the Weizang Winery, then this fire would cause the residents within a radius of several miles to be buried by Tan Zhou. Not to mention, the sound of explosions caused the ground to shake, houses to collapse, people and animals to panic, and in this chaotic situation, the casualties will further expand.

Following the flood and plague, Chuzhou City will be completely reduced to a veritable purgatory on earth.

"You threaten me?" Fang Xian's voice was raised, and his anger was uncontrollable: "Mu Dianke, I thought you were just misbehaving, but I didn't expect you to be a femme fatale, what is human life in your eyes?" ”

"What about in the eyes of General Fang?"

Mu Dianke looked at Fang Xian quietly, his eyes were cold, as if he could see through the flesh and skin of a person and into the deepest part of his heart: "I don't light this fire, Tan Zhou will light it." Or does the general think that as long as he didn't tell you before setting the fire, it wasn't your responsibility? No matter how many new souls are added, it is not your karma? ”

Fang Xian's face was pale, the color of a green pear that had been frozen overnight in the cold nine days.

Mu Dian is like a mind-reading monster, always able to easily find the darkest secrets in his heart, the most shameful for people to see, and even he doesn't want to face.

Then, with a knife to pick it out, the red fruit was placed under the scorching sun.

Embarrassment, humiliation, and even hatred of himself.

Fang Xian sat stiffly, his face tense, waiting for another humiliation from Mu Dianke. Like many times before, in the Quartet, in Qingshui Town, she used her sharp mouth and sharp teeth to make him lose face, and there was no way to fight back.

Mu Dianke was silent.

She sat quietly by the window, her eyelashes hanging low, and she didn't know what she thought, and her expression was a little depressed. After a while, she said: "When my brother acquiesced to Xu Younan's Chuzhou rebellion and attacked the imperial court, I was a little disappointed in him. ”

Her eyebrows furrowed, as if she didn't want to remember: "Once, his grandfather, my maternal grandfather; His uncles, my uncles, shed their blood and died to protect the land and the people who lived on it......"

"But how much better are you than him?" She suddenly lifted her eyes and looked at Fang Xianxiao, her smile was bright and dazzling, but she never smiled to the bottom of her eyes: "General Fang, when you are a product of the dynasty, the parents and officials of the food and feast, the people are in fire and water, you ask me if I want to threaten you?" ”

She looked directly at Fang Xian with a smile, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, which was very spicy and sarcastic.

Fang Xian's anger made Mu Dianke's smile extinguished, and at the end of the flames, a touch of shame and self-annoyance secretly sprouted, like weeds that saw the rain in March, desperately growing wildly.

His teeth clenched tighter and tighter, and his expression began to look unnatural.

But it still hasn't relented.

Mu Dianke stood up. "I promised Liangye that if I was forced to do so, I wouldn't do this. So that one wasn't a threat. She smiled, returned to her usual calm and cold appearance, and raised her hand to press the long sword she carried with her on the table.

The ancient sheath landed on the sinking pear wood case, making a deep and dull sound, like a muffled thunder.

"That's what it is."

Mu Dianke flew out of the window.

Unexpectedly, Liangqing actually waited for her in the outer courtyard. Under the eaves of the yellow shirt and iron knife, there is a lush rattan pepper tree in front of him, and the green beads are drooping, and it is the time to hang the fruit.

"What did he say?" Liangqing asked.

Mu Dianke shook his head: "He has tried both soft and hard, he should be concerned about the interests of the family." ”

Today's Fang Rong is not as good as in the past, and under the deliberate suppression of Emperor Shunping, the momentum is not as good as before. There are not only the Ning clan's grievances in front of them, but also the Su clan's eyes, bent on replacing them.

The people in the two surnames are cautious and secret, and there is no big handle for people to hold in their hands for the time being, but this does not mean that they can relax their vigilance.

If the winery is allowed to explode, Fang Xian will certainly not be able to escape the crime of negligence; But if he complied with Mu Dianke's request, dug a ditch to divert water, and flooded people's houses, in the case of insufficient evidence of Tan Zhou's private possession of gunpowder, it would be difficult to predict the consequences of this move, which would be a great merit or a great crime!

Fang Xian can't bet.

Emperor Shunping clearly wanted to weaken Fang Rong's power in the dynasty and let the four surnames check and balance each other, so as to take the initiative and hold the power firmly in his own hands.

In this case, it is not an extravagant expectation to reward meritorious deeds, and it is very likely that the officials will be imprisoned, and the crime and the clansmen will be punished.

Rong Yi retreated, and Fang Xian's importance in the court was revealed. No matter how upright a man is, he has to hesitate in the face of the rise and fall of the family's glory and disgrace.

"Looks like we're going to have to find another solution." Liangqing's prediction of this trip was not optimistic, but he was not too disappointed.

Tan Zhou left an inscription in the Sijin Courtyard, apparently to lure the sixth prince of Jin into the urn. You've fought him, and you know each other's strengths. If you don't react, he should know that you've seen through his plan. ”

Liangqing said solemnly: "We are running out of time. ”

Having failed twice, no one can predict what Tan Zhou will do under the madness.

"Wait a little longer." Mu Dianke said: "I still think that the Fang Xian I know is a bloody and responsible man. He won't let me down. ”

"The fourth lady has a high opinion of the other general."

Mu Dian was stunned.

Liangqing is not smiling, not good at talking, natural, and does not care about other people's opinions. This inexplicable sentence made her very stunned, smiled, and didn't respond.

The two of them went out together, and the road was full of rattan pepper trees with thorny stems on both sides, and the rich smell of hemp lingered.

Mu Dianke asked the doubts in his heart: "This Lord Thorn Shi Chen's preferences are really peculiar, the courtyard does not plant flowers and plants, and plants so many rattan peppers, is it a native of Sichuan and Shu?" ”

"I heard that it's from Chuzhou."

"Chuzhou people?"

"It's Ling Fu who said it. He still wondered how Chen Ning grew up in the land of Jianghuai, how could he prefer the food in the Sichuan and Shu regions... Is there something wrong with it? Liangqing asked.

"Not really." Mu Dianke said: "There is something that should be discussed with the good master. If Fang Xian hasn't made any moves after an hour, I'll send someone to kill him. ”

"Let Chen Ning take over?"

Mu Dianke nodded: "So this is a surprise." Native folks, if this decision is to be made by Chen Ning, it may not be so difficult. ”

Liangqing was a little surprised, but not too surprised. The girl in front of her who broke through the door of the Nine Shadows, died nine times, and returned for revenge, there is really nothing she dare not do.

If this last method is left, killing Fang Xian is undoubtedly a double move: one is to deter Chen Ning; Second, it also avoids Fang Xian's obstruction and restriction of action.

He couldn't help but take a deep look at Mu Dianke.

"Fourth Miss bothered."
