Chapter 166: Sincerity at this time
Silence is better than sound at this point.
This sentence applies to sentient people, and it also applies to Mu Zijian and Mu Dianke at this time.
Mu Dian wants to kill someone, just say it, and Mu Zijin will do it for her without asking the reason; She really cares about Mu Zijin's embarrassing identity, and is afraid that he will be punished by Mu Cangping, and there is also a Mu Ziyan available. But she didn't rely on anyone, and she cared for the feathers of her two brothers more than herself.
but he came to negotiate a deal with him alone.
This is also a trend that has been expected for a long time.
From ten years ago, in order to harm Mu Zijin, he revealed to Mu Cangping that Mu Dianke had been to Canglan Courtyard; From the time he assassinated Mu Dianke in Mu Lan, he was uncertain and swayed from side to side; From the moment he watched Tan Zhou frame Mu Dianke, he hesitated...... The little love of childhood has long been consumed.
"What else can I do for you?" Mu Zijian asked.
Mu Dianke smiled lightly: "There are still many places to rely on the eldest brother in the future." β
Even though she knew that Mu Zijian was willing to join forces with him and had many interests to consider, she still preferred to believe that Mu Zijian's words were somewhat sincere.
Whether he did anything for her, or did something in exchange for more from her, at least at this moment, when he said this, he really cherished her sister in his heart.
No one is born with affection, but the world is unfortunate, some people hold on, and some people waver.
"Big brother, have you thought about it, one day you will take over the Mu family, but these old people in Mumen worship Mu Cangping too much, and they all have merit on them, do you need them?" Mu Dianke pushed the wheelchair and slowly walked through the autumn breeze under the high wall, and said casually.
Mu Zijian's eyes flashed slightly.
Mu Dianke's words were very subtle.
ββFirst, he made it clear to him that he would never compete with him for the Mu family in the future; Second, it was implied to him that as long as the old men of the Mu family were there, he would not be able to let go of his hands and feet, and he would always be bound by the merits and rules established by his father, and live in his shadow for a long time.
He has lived in the shadow given to him by Mu Cangping for more than ten years, and he is very afraid and evil, and he really can't bear to have such a future.
Mu Zijian's killing intent flashed in his heart, but he didn't show it.
"I'm a person with no skills." He said with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Mu Dian laughed: "Big brother, you are arrogant." β
She raised her hand to remove a woolly brown dandelion from Mu Zijian's collar, and said slowly as if she was chatting casually: "There is a way to be a son of heaven and a courtier." The kings of all dynasties boasted of being the chosen ones, but didn't they have no confidence in the old personnel pattern they had inherited? Whoever is a monarch, at the beginning of his succession, will not make great efforts to make the country prosperous, reform the old and bring forth the new, uproot those old and unrestrained roots, and cultivate new forces that can grow centripetally in the rules they have made.
This kind of great feat, big work, is not done by people who have no ability. β
Mu Zijian was silent.
He knew that Mu Dian was smart. When she is willing to talk to you more, she is actually very eloquent. Even if it is unreasonable, as soon as he analyzes it, he can be reasonable, and people can't help but follow her thoughts.
Mu Zijian is a very knowledgeable person, he doesn't think he can beat Mu Dianke in terms of speech wit, so he decided not to speak or express his position.
"Cheng Zhuyan and Tu Xuanbei were killed by you, right?" After a moment of silence, he asked.
"Sort of." Mu Dianke said in a light tone: "It's not my hand, it's Zhao Qingyi." β
Mu Zijian was really shocked, and it was difficult to maintain even his quiet demeanor, so he couldn't help but turn around: "...... Are they all Zhao Qingyi? β
Mu Dianke nodded: "As long as he kills one, he won't be able to stop it." β
The people of Mumen can't kill each other, Han Jujun killed a Yuzhou owl with a much lower status than him, and he still has to be punished, but Zhao Qingyi killed Cheng Zhuyan, whose reputation is still above him.
In order to keep this secret, he can only continue to kill.
"Did you reveal Zhao Qingyi's killing of Cheng Zhuyan to Tu Xuanbei?" The autumn breeze was blowing, and Mu Zijian felt a little chill.
"I laid some clues in the Vermilion Bird Courtyard for Tu Xuanbei to see. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Zhao Qingyi who was a chess player and killed Tu Xuanbei. β
"How did you get Zhao Qingyi to kill Cheng Zhuyan?" Mu Zijian was really curious.
The return of Mu Dianke has made many of Mumen feel like enemies. As Mu Cangping's old wings, the three protectors bear the brunt of Mu Dian's attack, so they should report to the group to keep warm, how can they kill each other instead?
"The three of them participated in that killing in Chang'an, you should know, right?" Mu Dianke's voice lacked the casualness, cold and hard, as if someone had tightened his neck and said it.
After many years, she still can't summarize the tragic disaster with the short word "extinguishing gold" like others.
"I didn't know before." Mu Zijian said, "I guessed it now." β
Back then, after Zhao Qingyi and Tu Xuanbei were injured in the Battle of Exterminating Jin, they were secretly moved to Runan by Mu Cangping, making the world think that the two were injured in the battle against the Western Regions Demon Sect.
This matter was so well arranged that few people in Mumen knew about it. So far, when Zhao Qingyi and Tu Xuanbei are mentioned, the people in the rivers and lakes are all in awe, saying that they are heroes who protect the peace of the Central Plains.
If it weren't for Mu Dianke's aggressive targeting of Cheng Zhuyan, Mu Zijian would not have thought that the deeds of the three protectors who bravely resisted foreign enemies back then were actually a complete scam.
Zhao Qingyi was first hit by Qiao Yitong with a bone analysis nail, causing a brief paralysis of his limbs, and then his legs were cut off. For many years, he was obsessed with this matter, and the bone analysis nail taken out of his back was collected by him, and he observed it from time to time, and took it as a warning.
The spies of the Ming Palace found out this information, and Jin Yanchen imitated the appearance of the bone analysis nail and created several secret weapons that were extremely similar in appearance, but more complex in structure and more lethal. managed to let one of the 'bone analysis nails' flow into Zhao Qingyi's hand. β
Mu Zijian made a point: "Let Zhao Qingyi think that the bone nail that hurt him is fake?" β
Then Zhao Qingyi's killing of Cheng Zhuyan barely makes sense.
- If the bone analysis nail on Zhao Qingyi's hand is fake, it means that the person who harmed him with the secret weapon and caused him to lose his legs was not Qiao Yitong, but a person who hid in the shadows and did not dare to reveal his true identity.
Cheng Zhuyan is good at using secret weapons, and she was good with Yang Baihu in her early years, and Yang Baihu competed with Zhao Qingyi openly and secretly. Whether it is in terms of ability or motivation, Cheng Zhuyan is very suspicious.
Zhao Qingyi is not a reckless and credulous person. He has been holding back for so many years, which shows that he does suspect Cheng Zhuyan, but he has never found conclusive evidence to confirm that the person who attacked him back then was Cheng Zhuyan, so he never made a move.
Mu Dianke pushed him.
