Mu Yanbin said again: "This iron card is the life card of the Li family, and it seems to have some stories. I don't know exactly what it is. Because the father-in-law is not at home all the year round, the eldest lady should have presided over the big and small affairs in this family, but the eldest lady participated in Zen and worshiped the Buddha and did not ask about world affairs. The remaining two-room ladies are always a little intrigued. So the father-in-law made a rule in front of the whole family, and the person who held this card when he was not at home was the head of the Li family and was responsible for all affairs. Originally, it was in the hands of other ladies in turn, but I don't know why my father-in-law suddenly handed it over to me that day. ”

That day, Li Wenyuan suddenly found Mu Yanbin, and then said a little mysteriously: "Bin'er, now that the war in the northwest has been settled, I will go to open up a trade route in two days." ”

Mu Yanbin was taken aback after hearing this, the war had just calmed down, and there were countless rogue deserters outside, although this way to the Western Regions was important, it was definitely not what he should go to now. But Mu Yanbin knew that his father-in-law had always been the same, and he couldn't persuade him even if he tried to persuade him. I had to say: "My father-in-law must take me with him this time to open up a business road, the road to the west is not very smooth, and I have learned kung fu for a few years." ”

Li Wenyuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "I will take a big caravan with me on this departure, and there is no shortage of martial arts experts in it." Security is never an issue. I have called you today because I have another important matter for you. After saying that, he took out the iron card from his bosom. This is the iron token, after I leave the house, the iron token will be in your hands, and the Li family will be in your care for the time being. ”

"By no means, the second brother has both virtue and ability, and the two ladies are self-denying. I am a person with a foreign surname, how can I be the master of the Li family. Mu Yanbin hurriedly stood up and said after hearing this

"If it's usual, forget it, this time it's a little special, I don't worry about them." Li Wenyuan shook his head a little lonely

Mu Yanbin was stunned when he heard this, he had always felt that his father-in-law was very good to his wife, both parties respected each other like guests, and they were also more satisfied with their son, although he was not a great talent, but he was not a gentleman. Why do you see that there is something wrong with your stepfather today.

Li Wenyuan was only sad for a while, and then began to say again: "After I set off, it will be limited to one month, if I haven't come back, you have to go to Wuliang Mountain Villa to find their owner, saying that I am already in a rich place, let him come quickly." ”

After Li Wenyuan finished speaking, he looked at Mu Yanbin, who only paused for half a moment before saying, "Yes, father-in-law." ”

This is Mu Yanbin's advantage, he will ask what he should ask, and he will never talk too much if he shouldn't. This is also what Li Wenyuan values him.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Wenyuan gathered all the people in the Li Mansion, saying that he was going out to do business, and during the time when he was no longer there, Mu Yanbin was in charge of the iron token, and if anyone was dissatisfied or did not listen, he would be expelled from home directly. It's the same for everyone. Li Wenyuan looked at his wife and son when he said this. Take in all of their expressions.

was originally worried, Mu Yanbin would also wait for a month to make plans, because he had been trained to obey his father-in-law's orders since he was a child. But on the third day, the owner of Wuliang Villa suddenly came to Li's house, and Mu Yanbin hurriedly greeted him and told him that his father-in-law had gone to business.

The owner of the Infinite Mountain Villa was surnamed Qian, and after hearing it, he was furious. grabbed Mu Yanbin and asked if Li Wenyuan had left anything for him before leaving. Mu Yanbin was also worried about his father-in-law's safety at that time, so he said it on the spot. The owner of the money dealer was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then seemed to be thinking about the meaning of this, but it was obvious that the owner of the money dealer did not believe it. He asked again, but Mu Yanbin still said exactly the same.

The owner of this money village thought for a long time with some difficulty, and finally clapped his hands and said, wealth and danger are sought. Then he called a young man from his side and told him to take Mu Yanbin to Yashan Tianjimen to find Tianjisuo when he got up now, and said that Li Wenyuan had disappeared, and asked him to help find it in the face of his old friend.

After explaining this, he led the men and horses into the vast Gobi.

That's the whole process.

…………

After Mu Yanbin finished speaking, Chu Mu nodded and said, "It turned out to be the owner of the money village, no wonder the master accepted it." ”

Du Jie asked curiously, "Money owner?" Why haven't I heard of Infinite Hills? Are you familiar with Master? ”

Chu Mu shook his head: "It's not too familiar, when the master founded the sect in Yashan, it was this Qian Zhuang owner who provided us with the façade that was built by the silver two, and it can be regarded as our owner." For so many years, the owner of the Qian Zhuang has never asked the master to do anything, and now he has asked for it, it seems that he has to do it, and it seems that the risk is very high. ”

Kong Miaozhi interjected beside him: "Mu Gongzi, what your father-in-law said at the time was that I was already in a rich place, so let the owner of the Qian Zhuang come quickly." ”

Mu Yanbin nodded and replied, "Exactly." ”

Kong Miaozhi touched his forehead and said: "This seems to be like Master Li went to open a mountain and open a road, and then waited for the owner of the money to go over and make a fortune, are you Master Li very familiar with the owner of the money village?" ”

Mu Yanbin thought carefully for a long time before shaking his head and said: "I have never heard my father-in-law say that he knows the owner of Wuliang Mountain Villa, and this is located in the northwest, and I have only heard that there is a Wuliang Mountain Villa in the Central Plains in recent years." ”

Kong Miaozhi asked again: "When did Master Li enter the Gobi?" I mean, how long did it take for the war in the Northwest to subside. ”

"Three days after pacification!"

After hearing this, Chu Mu and Kong Miaozhi looked at each other: "It's so urgent, it seems that Master Li has something very important, otherwise he wouldn't have run into the Gobi just three days after the war ended, and you just said that he had prepared a large number of caravans, it seems that he is well prepared, and being so impatient should be an action with a very clear goal." What is it exactly? ”

Mu Yanbin groaned for a moment, shook his head and said, "My father-in-law never mentioned it. He didn't bring anyone with him this time, not even the old guy who is usually quick with his hands and feet. ”

Chu Mu groaned when he heard Mu Yanbin's words, and then said, "This is strange. By the way, I see that Master Li is not here, but the Li Mansion seems to be in order. And I'm not very anxious to see the second son today. ”

Mu Yanbin sighed and said: "It is common for my father-in-law to go to business, when I was a child, I often walked for more than half a year, and my family has long been used to it, if my father-in-law hadn't ordered me in advance this time, I wouldn't have called you over in such a hurry." I always felt that although my father-in-law was very well prepared this time, it was unpredictable. So, please. With that, he stood up and swept the floor.

Chu Mu hurriedly helped Mu Yanbin up, Wu Qi and Kong Miaozhi exchanged glances and said nothing. The eldest grandson Wufang said on the side: "Don't worry, Master Mu, we will definitely find Master Li." ”

Mu Yanbin bowed to the eldest grandson Wufang again, the eldest grandson Wufang hurriedly went over to help him, and somehow put his hand on Mu Yanbin's hand, the eldest grandson Wufang's face suddenly turned red, and hurriedly retreated.

This scene made Ye Tingcheng see it, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at the retreating eldest grandson Wufang. There seemed to be something to ask her. Na Mu Yanbin also stayed in place with an embarrassed face and didn't know what to say, but Kong Miaozhi was still a little heartless and continued: "We have been here for so long, and the people up and down the house have some contact, and the people next to us don't say anything, but these two sons seem to be a little hostile to us, does Mu Gongzi know why this is?" ”

"My second brother? No, no, since you are my invited guest, how can he embarrass you. Moreover, you have come for the sake of your Father, and He has no reason to be hostile to you. It must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Mu Yanbin's words were sincere and eager, and he seemed to have a very good relationship with this Li Yanlin.

Kong Miaozhi wanted to say something, Chu Mu gave him a look to stop, and then smiled and said to Mu Yanbin: "Trouble Mu Gongzi, if we have any new news, we will notify you as soon as possible, since we are here, we will definitely go all out to find Master Li, you can rest assured." ”

Mu Yanbin heard that this was the meaning of sending off guests, got up and bowed, and then left after a few words of greeting.

…………

After Mu Yanbin left, Gu Wu walked out of the shadows, and several people from Tianji frowned, and things seemed to be more troublesome than imagined. These known things are not clues at all, but at most provide a general direction. Several people were at a loss. Chu Mu looked at Kong Miaozhi, and when Kong Lao Liu saw Chu Mu looking at him, his little face showed a wry smile.

"Sixth, let's talk first." Chu Mu pondered for a while, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said

"It's a bit of a headache, and there are a lot of clues, but it's scattered, and I don't know how to put it together after thinking about it for a long time. And the things in this are true or false, and some clues may be false. Kong Miaozhi touched his forehead and said

"Fake? Are you suspicious ......"

"I don't know, I just feel that some things are in conflict, and my head is too small to think about so many things. But we can try to imagine what happened at that time. Just use the clues we know now. ”

"Imagine? Sixth, you're playing this kind of storytelling trick again. Wu Qi said

"There are so many of us, one person has one idea, and there may be different understandings of how things are developing, and it is also beneficial for everyone to speak out. I think I'll try it according to the old six. The third one, you talk about it first. After listening to Kong Miaozhi's words, Chu Mu nodded and said

Wu Qi didn't expect that Chu Mu really planned to do it again according to Kong Miaozhi's thoughts, so he had no choice but to filter it in his head before he began to say: "This battle in the northwest lasted fifteen years and went through two dynasties, and it stands to reason that the commerce of this northwest will definitely suffer great losses, but Li Wenyuan can use this as a foundation to achieve the position of the four major merchants in the world." It's certainly not easy. I have checked his life before, and this man's fortune seems to have accumulated over time, and before the outbreak of the Northwest War, his business was once in the Western Regions. And just half a year before the outbreak of the war, it was still in close contact with the Western Regions. I think Li Wenyuan must have made huge profits from it, which is why he couldn't wait to go to the Western Regions as soon as the war ended. ”
