The reason why Shen Mu felt uncomfortable was that he knew that although he had won a battle today, he was not facing the Seven Star Village, but the small people who were attached to the Seven Star Village. Compared with Qixingzhai, it can be said that Moyuding has no flow. Now that they have shocked Mo Yuding, they have officially declared war in Qixingzhai. Although this day will come sooner or later, Shen Mu didn't expect that it would come so soon, his eighteen people have not yet settled down, if he really starts a war with Qixingzhai, he is afraid that he will not be able to stay here. Now is not the time to confront Qixingzhai head-on, the most important thing at the moment is to strengthen your own strength.

Seeing that Shen Mu was silent, Duan Chao asked, "Brother Shen, what are you thinking?" We have obtained so much silver, isn't Brother Shen happy?"

Shen Mu said: "Happy, how can you not be happy." But I'm thinking that Qixingzhai will definitely find Liang Zi for Mo Yuding, and we have very important things to do next. ”

Duan Chao said: "What are you afraid of him, as long as we have Brother Shen, the other party has 10,000 people, so what can we do." ”

Shen Mu said: "The big boss laughed. Qixingzhai can sit firmly in one of the four major villages of Xishan Road, and there must be his superiority, which is by no means comparable to the quality of the road. ”

Duan Chao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "By the way, there is always one thing I don't understand. How did Brother Shen know that it wasn't Qixingzhai who came to trouble us, and how did he know that there were only two or three people on the top of Moyu?"

Shen Mu smiled and said, "This is what I said about knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." As for where I got this news from, I will find out if the big boss asks Lao Luo in the future. ”

Duan Chao said suddenly: "No wonder you disappeared Lao Luo last time you came back from going out, it turned out that you taught him to find out the news." ”

Shen Mu smiled and said nothing, Lao Luo, now he is placed in the most important position, and he must not reveal his location unless it is necessary. At the moment, I don't know when the people of Qixingzhai will come to the door, maybe tomorrow, maybe today, no matter which day, the place where they settled before can not stay, is the so-called big hidden in the city, when Shen Mu entered the city last time, he had already set a house outside Dingzhou City, that house was originally a dart bureau, as for why it was closed, it was very simple, because to make a living on this road is to get through the relationship with a village like Qixingzhai, if you can't get the approval of Qixingzhai, any dart game. No matter how much the state capital is determined, it will not be able to continue. The way to make money in Qixingzhai is far from being as simple as robbing a house. If it is really like an ordinary mountain bandit, it will naturally be the same as Wulong Mountain a few days ago, and it will be surrounded and suppressed by the government.

The house is not big, the three courtyards in the front and back, five or six houses, but enough for a dozen people in Wulong Mountain to settle down. The dart board was in a hurry, leaving only two people in the courtyard waiting to shoot the courtyard. When Shen Mu took a fancy to this courtyard at that time. I didn't think it would be used to avoid Qixingzhai, but it was used for other purposes. First, I am in a hurry to sell here, the price is cheap, and secondly, it is close to the main street, and it is mixed. He agreed to prepare two pieces of silver to buy a house within a month, so as soon as he returned to the cottage that day, he asked Duan Chao to take stock of the treasury silver, which also had this reason. At this time, Shen Mu led everyone to the mansion.

Halfway through, Duan Chao suddenly remembered something, patted the horse's back and said, "Ouch, Brother Shen." We still have a few hundred taels of silver on the mountain, no, I have to go back and get it." ”

Shen Mu said: "I have already asked the brothers of the 'bow team' to move back, and the big boss can rest assured." ”

When Duan Chao heard this, he laughed and said, "It's still the military advisor who thinks thoughtfully." This silver is not easy to come by, but it cannot be lost in a daze. ”

As soon as Duan Chao's voice fell, he heard Lu Laosan in front of him "ouch", reined in his horse, approached Shen Mu and said, "Suffer, Mr. Shen, I forgot someone..."

When Shen Mu heard him say this, he patted his head and said, "You mean that... That man!"

Lu Laosan said: "No, I have been flustered these days, and I have forgotten that person..." ”

Shen Mu said angrily: "You, you, didn't you hand him over to you to take care of!"

Lu Laosan scratched his ears and cheeks, very embarrassed, and said, "Take care of it, really take care of it." Yesterday I gave him gruel earlier. Don't say it, Mr. Shen's medical skills are really good. Looking at his injuries, he thought he was almost healed, but he didn't wake up. After noon, everyone was in a hurry, and I forgot about him. ”

Shen Mu said: "Confused, go and pick him up, I'll wait for you at the city gate later." ”

Lu Laosan heard this, apologized, and went back the same way. Shen Mu raised his voice and said: "Be careful yourself, find someone, and come to meet immediately." But seeing the dust rolling on the avenue, I don't know if Lu Laosan heard it.

Duan Chao said: "Brother Shen, it's not that you are the eldest brother, you are good at everything, but you are too pedantic." The eldest brother taught you a sentence, those who do great things must first learn to be ruthless, and if they are not ruthless, they will be easy to die. ”

Shen Mu said: "Big brother said, are those who become big things informal?"

Duan Chao said: "We don't know if this is the truth, this kind of sour text is uncomfortable to listen to." You see that you have shown kindness to that person, but you do not know whether that person is good or bad. If it's a wolf-hearted thing that comes back, that's terrible. ”

Shen Mu said: "What the big boss said is that I wrote down these words. ”

While speaking, the group had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and the four brothers of the bow team were already waiting under the willow tree in the corner of the courtyard, looking at Duan Chao and his party from a distance, and hurriedly led the horse to usher in it.

Duan Chao said: "Zong Ming, Zong Bai, Yang Jian, Han Fei." Great work. ”

Duan Chao called the names of the four members of the "bow" team one by one, and patted the person on the shoulder for each shouting.

The four of them shouted in unison, "Thanks to the family!"

Zong Ming unloaded a sack from the horse's back and said, "The fire is so bad that all our grain is destroyed, but fortunately the silver is fine." ”

Duan Chao nodded, and said again, "Hard work." He also asked Lu Laosan to carry the silver to the carriage. When he looked at Shen Mu again, he found that he was slamming the door, so he led everyone to line up behind and wait for a while.

In a few moments, the portal opened. A white-haired old man poked his head out, saw that it was Shen Mu, and hurriedly said, "Hey, it's a coincidence that you're here, this house will be sold to someone else later." ”

Shen Muqi said: "Old man, but what is important?"

The old man said: "That's not true, it's just that two young ladies just came, and they fell in love with this house at a glance." I didn't think that the two of us had talked about it before, and although we couldn't do it, we couldn't believe it. However, those two young ladies are stalking... I have to..."

That's it. I heard a burst of laughter like silver bells, and in the laughter, a girl dressed in a pale yellow wide-sleeved long skirt came, the girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pink goose egg face, her eyebrows frowned lightly, a pair of light gray eyes glared at Shen Mu, her cheeks were red, and her brown hair on her head was pulled into an ingot, and two hairpins were inserted.

The girl said, "Uncle." Is this the person you said you had agreed upon?"

The old man said, "Yes, young lady. You see that we didn't lie to you, it's a coincidence today, since the buyers on both sides of you are here, let's discuss it yourself, but the old man is not good at saying this. ”

The girl said, "Understood, uncle, you wait first." We'll come back to you to sign and sign after we're done. ”

The old man said hello, went back to the inner hall by himself, and packed his luggage.

The girl looked Shen Mu up and down, and said coldly: "Look at your appearance, you don't look like a child of a rich family." My sister has fallen in love with this house, if you are willing to let it, I can compensate you twice... No... Triple the deposit..."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "This girl, I really don't know what you're talking about. If the girl has nothing important, please take care of herself. As for the house, I settled on it early in the morning, and there was really no reason to give it up. ”

The girl said, "Hey, I'm talking about you." And lo and behold... Come on, I'll give you ten times the deposit, it's okay, this money is enough for you to buy a house. ”

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "No..." He originally chose this house, and he liked that this place was connected to the avenue in front and the market in the back. What's more, the girl in front of her spoke like a complete nouveau riche, and Shen Mu had never had a good temper when she treated this kind of rich man. It doesn't matter if she is a man or a woman, anyway, Shen Mu has made up his mind in his heart, this house will definitely not let it, and there is no way to let it, he can't let the sixteen brothers behind him run away with him for nothing.

When the girl heard this, she paused her feet, rolled up her cuffs, leaked out her lotus root jade arms, and said angrily: "Hey, I said that you are a poor scholar, don't toast or eat and drink." ”

"Hey, we still like to drink penalty wine, little girl, if you have, just pour us a glass." Duan Chao, who spoke, saw Shen Mu arguing with someone from a distance, so he stepped forward, but saw that the person was just a yellow-haired girl, and he said humiliating words, so he unceremoniously answered.

Only then did the girl realize that there were more than a dozen men standing outside the courtyard, and the person who spoke, with a beard on his face and angry eyebrows, was not a good person at first glance. The maiden was not afraid. He glared at him with disdain and said, "If you really want to eat, I'll give it to you, girl." As he spoke, he made a sword trick with his right hand, and there were words in his mouth, but he didn't know what he was saying.

"Sister Xuan, don't be rude. ”

With a scolding, the girl frowned, withdrew her right hand, and met the man who spoke. Dissatisfied: "Sister Ping, what are you polite to these people." ”
