Chapter 43: Mutual Acting Skills
Mu Fan said: "Hearing you say this, it seems that this is really the case. ”
His acting skills are vividly displayed at this moment, there are doubts, doubts with sudden realization, and a little unbelievable.
Zhao Mu said earnestly: "You have to be careful, these two women are hiding so many things from you, don't be sold by them, and count the money for them." ”
Mu Fan sighed and said, "I really know people and faces, I thought they were friends worth entrusting." If you hadn't woken me up today, I'm afraid I'd still be kept in the dark by them. ”
Zhao Mu patted Mu Fan's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Brother Yan, don't trust others easily in the future, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs." ”
Mu Fan nodded again and again, but said in his heart: "It's your belly, I want to believe you to be really stupid." ”
Full of wine and food, Mu Fan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and signaled Zhao Mu to be casual.
Zhao Mu saw the Chitose Lan on the handkerchief, and smiled slightly: "Brother Yan also likes Chitose Lan!" His eyes flashed with approval, as if he was praising Mu Fan for his vision.
Mu Fan smiled: "That's right, I do like Chitose Lan, Brother Zhao, you and I have the same hobbies?"
Zhao Mu dipped his fingers in wine and drew a thousand-year-old orchid on the table. He looked deep and said: "No matter how difficult the soil is, it can absorb nutrients and strengthen itself little by little." One day, it will suddenly bloom and surprise everyone. ”
Mu Fan put away his handkerchief, it seems that Zhao Mu in front of him has great ambitions, and he is not a person who is willing to be mediocre.
Zhao Mu retracted his mind, snapped his fingers, and immediately Xiao Er came to settle the bill. ate hundreds of taels of silver for a meal, and when he paid the bill, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and it could be seen that he also had some origins.
Mu Fan said goodbye and left, wearing the big coat brought by Zhao Mu. Zhao Mu rested in the inn next to the tavern on the grounds that he was not strong enough to drink.
Seeing Mu Fan walking away, an old man walked in from the side.
Zhao Mu asked, "How much do you think what he said is true and how much is false?"
The old man stroked his beard and said, "Full of nonsense, Mu'er, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp." It is very likely that he knows the true identity of the woman named Sang. ”
Zhao Mu asked, "You haven't found out the woman's true identity yet?"
The old man shook his head, sneered, and said, "I have found a little clue, she is likely to be from Beihua." ”
"The people of Beihua are not spies sent by the enemy country. Zhao Mu groaned.
The old man said: "If you are really a spy, it will be easier to do, just cut off the head with a knife." What I'm afraid of is that she is not a spy, she is going back and forth, and she is busy in vain. ”
Zhao Mu pondered for a moment and asked curiously, "By the way, will she have something to do with the Hanhai Desert?"
The old man stared slightly, and then smiled: "It's not impossible, this is also a direction of exploration." ”
A banquet is a bit long, and there is no killing during the banquet, but there is temptation. Mu Fan walked under the night sky, and his shadow was stretched out. He burped and said secretly: "I still want to get news from me, I am really a vegetarian when I am a young master." ”
He walked outside the gate of Sword Sect Mountain and saw Song Changgeng waiting anxiously from a distance. Song Changgeng also spotted him and trotted over.
Song Changgeng smelled the smell of wine on Mu Fan's body, and asked with concern, "Brother Qing, where have you been?"
Mu Fan said: "I drank with a spy." ”
Song Changgeng looked puzzled, not knowing what Mu Fan meant.
Mu Fan explained: "There is a guy named Zhao Mu, who ostensibly wants to invite me to drink, but actually wants to trick me. ”
Song Changgeng said: "As long as you don't use force, there are no more powerful people here than in the rivers and lakes." ”
Mu Fan smiled: "Don't worry, we just fooled each other." Eighty percent of them are not dead yet, and they are likely to find you and Zhang Jian. You and I have the same voice, Zhang Jian knows very little about this matter, and it is basically all made up by you. They were very jealous of Sang'er, after all, she could provoke the old monk to protect, and the possibility of using force was very small. ”
Song Changgeng pointed to the big on Mu Fan's body and said with a smile: "This is used to reduce vigilance." ”
Mu Fan laughed: "If you don't take it for nothing, if you meet such a rich person with bad intentions, it's good if you don't knock him more." ”
The two laughed and returned to their temporary accommodation together.
The Sword Sect at night has a unique flavor, and the bright moonlight gilds the Sword Sect with a layer of silver, giving rise to a sense of solemnity. The simple building is more attractive than in the daytime. There are ordinary flowers and plants next to the mountain gate, but they are planted in the Sword Sect, and they seem to be contaminated with a sharp aura.
Lying on the soft bed, Mu Fan was covered with a big hat. Now he has finally completed the second step and successfully reached the Sword Sect. Then we have to improve our strength step by step, and strive not to drag the Mu family back.
He was thinking about his future plans when there was a sudden commotion outside. Mu Fan gathered his thoughts, put on a big hat, pushed the door and went out to see what was going on.
"Why can't you let me bring this statue, he's my patron saint. A young man blushed and argued.
Mu Fan just glanced at it from a distance and lost interest in this matter. It's just a sculptural thing, and it's not worth making a fuss about at all.
"The appearance of the Night Brocade statue is forbidden in the Sword Sect, and you dare to openly disobey the order!" said the Sword Sect steward angrily.
Mu Fan turned around again, he was no stranger to the word "Night Jin". Mu Cai has mentioned him many times, and many Mu family members often talk about him. It's not because he has a good relationship with the Mu family, it's because he's too famous.
Ye Jin once had one person and one sword, set up a life and death situation, and defeated eight Xuanmen elders in a row. Even against the Xuanmen Sect Master at that time, he did not fall behind, what a hero he was back then.
It's just that heroes often don't get a good death, and later he organized rebels to attack the Xuanmen and Dongze courts, and ended up dead.
After his death, those who were determined to be loyal to him were unwilling to surrender, and they have been secretly opposing the imperial court and the Xuanmen.
The Xuanmen and the imperial court kept suppressing the remnants of Yejin. Although Yejin was defeated, he won the hearts of the people, and many people quietly worshiped him.
Xuanmen and the imperial court repeatedly forbade it, and later the criminal law was strict, and it was ordered that all those who worship the night brocade should be subject to a joint sitting system.
As soon as this decree was issued, a large number of people began to be executed. The method of killing chickens and monkeys was very useful, and since then, there have been fewer and fewer people worshipping the night brocade. As for some remote areas, the imperial court and the Xuanmen were unable to govern them, so they could only let them go.
The young man who is arguing should be from the southwest, the power of the imperial court and the Xuanmen in the southeast region is not weak, and the power of the Xuanmen in the central and southern regions is extremely strong, so it can only be people from the southwest.
Mu Fan stayed where he was, quietly observing how things were going. In his opinion, the Sword Sect did not dare to tear up its face with the imperial court and the Xuanmen, and there was only one way to end the matter. The boy gave up the sculpture and stayed in the Sword Sect.
Information is often hidden in the process, and the information contained in the outcome is limited. What is the attitude of the Sword Sect towards Xuanmen, it is very jealous, still a little afraid, or perfunctory on the surface. As long as you pay attention, you can draw many important conclusions from even small things.
There was no unexpected reversal, and although the boy was angry and angry, he would not change his future for a sculpture.
The sculptures were smashed to pieces by the steward, and the moonlight gilded the shards with a layer of silver. The boy solemnly watched the sculpture being smashed, and remembering was the only thing he could do.
Mu Fan watched the course of events carefully, and already had a rough judgment on the relationship between the Sword Sect and the Xuanmen in his heart. Although the person who smashed the statue was only a steward in the Sword Sect, and his position was not high, it was enough to explain the general situation of the Sword Sect's attitude towards the Xuanmen.
The statue was not confiscated, not disposed of later, but smashed on the spot, which already shows that the Sword Sect as a whole is quite jealous of the Xuanmen. Of course, this judgment is not accurate, but if you pay attention, a few small things can confirm the correctness of the judgment.
On the rockery in the distance, a middle-aged man saw the incident from beginning to end. He was dressed in black, and his tight-fitting clothes set off his strong and toned body. The man is not outstanding in appearance, but has a pair of distinctive eyebrows. There was a sharp aura between his sword eyebrows, and the sharp qi was contained but not released, and it seemed that it might gush out at any time. No matter who sees this pair of eyebrows, they will not and dare not despise him.
The middle-aged man turned his head and said, "Hum, I'll clean up the statue later, if the eldest brother is still alive, even if he is a top master, he will never dare to damage his statue!" His voice was very magnetic, and it sounded an inexplicable attraction.
"Yes. Han Min suddenly appeared behind the middle-aged man and said respectfully.
He said again: "Ah Zheng, what do you think of that Yan Qing?"
Another figure appeared behind the middle-aged man, and the figure replied: "It's a good seedling, just now in the tavern, Zhao Mu intentionally or unintentionally wanted to test him, and his handling method is very good." ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's far from his grandfather, if it's Old Man Mu, it is estimated that Zhao Mu will think that he has met a confidant." At that time, it was not Zhao Mu who was tempted, but Old Man Mu was dominant. ”
The figure thought so, and he said: "Old Man Mu is a masterpiece of his generation, and Zhao Mu's hairy boy naturally can't be difficult for him." ”
The middle-aged man said again: "Yan Qing is still very young, and the future always has infinite possibilities, isn't it?"
After he finished speaking, the three of them disappeared into the night. The rockery was empty, as if no one had ever been there.
Originally, because of the quarrel between teenagers, a lot of people gathered to watch the excitement. Seeing that the results of the matter had come out, they gradually dispersed.
Mu Fan planned to go back with the crowd and wanted to call Song Changgeng. Turning his head, he found that Song Changgeng was having a good conversation with a young man with a Chinese face, and he was worried that the person was sent by Zhao Mu, so he walked over to see the situation.
"Your journey is really thrilling, I'm much more relaxed, I have family members to bring me, the road is smooth, it's so boring. The man with the national character face said with a little envy.
Mu Fan walked up to them and pretended to be just passing by.
Song Changgeng found out that Mu Fan was coming, and he knew what Mu Fan was worried about. He gave Mu Fan a look without leaving a trace, and motioned for Mu Fan to relax.
When Mu Fan saw it, he knew that Song Changgeng had not relaxed his guard, and he also returned a trusting look.
