Chapter 141: Temptation
Half of Guangpinghou's face was hidden in the shadows, and his palms kept rubbing the rough horsewhip, "Is it really as Mrs. Xie said?" Ben Hou is curious, how did you happen to gather with these homeless people in this ruined temple? ”
"As Master Hou said, it just so happened."
Xie Chongning was still indifferent, his expression did not move, ignoring the tense situation in front of him.
This made Guangping Hou unable to see what he was having, Xie Chongning was already in a surrounded formation, and he could still be so unfazed, could it be true that he had any future moves?
Mu Yu sensed the hesitation of the Marquis of Guangping in time, and the empty city plan was completed!
"But as Hou Ye saw, the people here are all suffering from the epidemic, and like Hou Ye, who loves the people like a son, he must have opened a wide range of medical shops to diagnose and treat the people throughout the process."
There was a hint of cunning in Mu Yu's eyes, but she also held her body, looking anxious, revealing a look of complete consideration for the prince.
"If I say that this is not my Yancheng people, what responsibility do I have?"
At this moment, Guangping Hou was very happy, and the look of the mouse under his paws trying to survive was actually too interesting.
"Master Hou, saving someone's life is like recreating a seventh-level floating slaughter, regardless of your status and status, saving the villagers, isn't this a good story? When my husband returns to the saint, he will naturally praise the Hou Ye more. ”
Mu Yu quietly pulled Xie Chongning's sleeves, hoping that he could cooperate with his performance, after all, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn, and only by easing the atmosphere between the two can it be further delayed.
"Mrs. Zun is sharp-toothed, this sentence is quite valuable, and I will convince what Ben Hou said."
Turning over and dismounting, the Marquis of Guangping walked slowly, behind him was a menacing army of 3,000, and even a mosquito could not escape from this small ruined temple on the mountain.
"Hou Ye praised." Xie Chongning suddenly spoke, making Mu Yu stunned.
"Since you are planning for Ben Hou like this, and you want Ben Hou to save these displaced people, I wonder if you can also fulfill Ben Hou's wish?"
The Marquis of Guangping watched the waves between the two playfully, one side represented the Luanping Marquis Mansion, and the other side was the King of Anping County behind him, and the value of life seemed to be higher than that of death.
It seems that if he can't come up with an exchange of interests that satisfy the Marquis of Guangping today, he will not give up, and the 3,000 troops behind him are the best deterrent.
Mu Yu chuckled, the Marquis of Guangping is very good-looking, all he wants is power and connections, and the Marquis of Luanping behind me and the King of Anping on Xie Chongning's side are the biggest reliance.
"Master Hou, you also know the temperament of the adults in my family, can you allow me to go to the back hall to persuade the adults, after all, it is a husband and wife's own words, and I can't help but be a little shy."
In order to show the truth, Mu Yu deliberately stepped forward, shook Xie Chongning's sleeve, and made a gesture of praying for his little daughter.
"Ben Hou will be considerate, Fluttershy, you go with Mrs. Xie."
The Marquis of Guangping is willing to achieve his goal without much effort, this Mrs. Xie is a clever person, he doesn't mind any small moves, and they don't dare to have three thousand troops.
"My lord, in such a situation, I really don't know what to do, but what I want is only for my lord's safety, and I know that my lord, you are bright and fair, and you can't leave a little sand under your eyes, so you should think it's for the rumor, my lord, you say it's okay?"
Mu Yu pinched his arm fiercely, so that his eyelashes glistened with tears, and he saw that the butterfly assigned by the Marquis of Guangping was a little unbearable to look at directly, and took the opportunity to draw something on Xie Chongning's broad palm.
"Yes." Xie Chongning forcibly suppressed his smile, and his cold face also showed a hint of warmth.
"Master Hou, Mu Yu did his best to persuade Xie Chongning, Xie Chongning was extremely reluctant, but in the end he agreed, and the two did not make any other moves."
After listening to the words, the Hou of Guangping couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, no matter how old-fashioned you Xie Chongning is, you are not defeated under the attack of Mu Yu, this Mu Yu is indeed a wonderful person, if it is mine, I will definitely be like a tiger.
Xie Chongning was extremely keenly aware of the change in Guangping Hou's gaze, his eyes were slightly heavy, and his body was cold.
"Master Hou, I have reached a consensus with my family, and you also know that I am the daughter of the Marquis of Luanping, and I can speak a few words to my father and brother."
Guangping Hou raised his hand to interrupt Mu Yu's words.
"I am the same as the Marquis of Luanping, and there is no difference."
Mu Yu frowned, the Marquis of Guangping was too arrogant, and he needed to kill his arrogance.
"Master Hou, since this is the case, I want to persuade Master Hou, the person in the capital you rely on can't promise you, it's not difficult for my family."
"Tell me about it."
Guangping Hou coiled the walnut skewers in his hand, squinting and calculating how he could get the most out of Xie Chongning.
"You already know that my family has a very personal relationship with the king of Anping County, and the king of Anping County respects my family even more.
Mu Yu deliberately lengthened the end of the last four words, and sure enough, he discovered the greed in the eyes of the Marquis of Guangping.
"At present, the king of Anping County, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, is the time to seek talents, if you add the recommendation of my family, plus your political achievements, the king of Anping County will be reused, and what you ask for will be at your fingertips."
"Okay, Mrs. Zun can see clearly, Lord Xie is really a good couple."
She pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, Guangping Hou was deliberately provoking the relationship between herself and Xie Chongning, although she had hinted in advance just now, I don't know if Xie Chongning would be fooled.
"I think so." Xie Chongning hid a touch of tenderness under his eyes, but he couldn't hide a trace of ruddy in his ears.
Mu Yu was surprised by Xie Chongning's answer, but she still understood when she took the opportunity to go down the steps.
"Then I'll have to trouble my lord to write this letter."
Zhang Wei, who was standing behind Xie Chongning, hated in his eyes, he actually believed in Mu Yu to this point, it must be Mu Yu who confused Lord Xie, and when I let the adult get back on the right path one day, then the adult will know that I am the most suitable adult.
"Bring a pen and paper, you, go and serve Master Xie."
Under the gaze of the Marquis of Guangping, Xie Chongning's expression did not change, he dipped the ink in the butler's hand, and wrote smoothly on the dilapidated incense case of the temple, and the letter wrote:
Through many urban areas, the epidemic situation is severe, only the people of Yancheng live and work in peace and contentment, and the Marquis of Guangping has made great contributions.
"Master Hou, the capital is urgent!"
The steward of the Marquis of Guangping hurriedly handed over the letter with the seal of the king of Anping to the Marquis of Guangping.
"That's the end of their role, can the people be arranged?"
"Back to the Hou Ye, it has been arranged, just waiting for your orders."
"Then tonight, it's a good day to rejoice in blood."
"Gross!"
There was a sound of vomiting blood that I couldn't help but throw a bomb into the atmosphere that had just calmed down in the temple, and the people instantly stirred up and scattered in all directions.
I saw a ragged villager fall on his back, blood flowing from his mouth and nose, shortness of breath, convulsions of his limbs, and his behavior was terrifying.
"He can't do it."
Zhang Wei carefully kept a distance and glanced at it, shook her head, glanced at Xie Chongning from the corner of her eye, pretended to be sad, squeezed out a few tears, and sighed.
This person was at the end of the crowd, but the villagers all ran away, so that this tragic situation was completely displayed in Mu Yu's eyes, and the smell of blood filled the tip of Mu Yu's nose.
"Don't look."
Xie Chongning forcibly pulled Mu Yu behind him and covered Mu Yu's vision with wide sleeves.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Yu was hugged into Xie Chongning's solid embrace, and the moist pine branch incense soaked and dispelled the blood, allowing Mu Yu to calm down again.
After realizing who this was, Mu Yu turned around and pretended to trip over the corner of his skirt, and left immediately, Mu Yu, who was immersed in sorting out his mood, did not see Xie Chongning's instantly condensed eyes and quickly put down his empty arms.
"Amitabha." Wuchen silently went forward to cover the godless eyes of the villagers, sat cross-legged beside the villagers, and began to chant the scriptures.
"My lord, my heart is really painful, if it weren't for my better medical skills, he wouldn't have left, he is my focus on the patient, but the epidemic has worsened too much to save his life."
Zhang Wei covered her eyes with her cuffs, and leaned over to Xie Chongning with great grief and weakness.
"If there is one, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged."
Xie Chongning turned sideways, his eyes crossed over Zhang Wei's head, seemingly looking at Zhang Wei, but in fact he was passing over Zhang Wei and looking at Mu Yu who forced himself to observe the corpses of the villagers.
There was still a trace of grief in the depths of the woman's eyes, but the tenacious expression was deeply engraved in Xie Chongning's mind.
"Lord Xie, the poor monk thinks that there is something wrong with this villager's situation."
After Mu Yu asked a few questions, Wuchen's expression also became solemn, and he immediately opened the patient's clothes and began to examine them carefully.
"People are dead, what else can be wrong?"
Zhang Wei was angry and dustless interrupted the atmosphere between her and the adult, but she could only follow the adult, and the four of them gathered around the villager.
"Fellow villagers, do you know or are you familiar with this villager?"
Mu Yu asked loudly, but no one responded.
Mu Yu is still very confident in his memory, starting from the rescue of the cellar, there are a few small actions of this villager that he really cares about, but before he can find out, he has already gone.
"Lord Xie, madam, Miss Zhang, can you take a step to speak?" Izuchen said softly, this matter must not be publicized.
"This person did not die due to the epidemic, but a poison in his body hastened his death, the poor monk was shallow in his learning and failed to identify it, thanks to his wife's discernment, the poor monk can confirm it."
"I also think that this villager is acting a little specially, not like an ordinary villager, but has some trained hands and feet, so I asked Master Wuchen to confirm,"
Mu Yu thought about it carefully, but still didn't have a clue.
"Now that the situation is complicated, I suspect that there is something else going on in this matter, and we also need to make some protective preparations ourselves, at least to protect ourselves."
