After a slap was struck, Shen Lian couldn't support himself, blood spurted out, but there was a hint of pride on the corner of his mouth.

Mu Bai, a civil official, was really surprised that he could have such strength, but after the two of them came into contact just now, Shen Lian had already figured out the depth of Mu Bai, the early stage of the Six Realms, and he had just stepped in, and his foundation was not solid.

It's absolutely impossible to avoid the killer moves that you do with all your might.

But the next moment, Shen Lian's pupils shrank, and the whole person showed a ghost-like expression.

Where he stared, a girl with fox ears appeared out of thin air, with fluttering green clothes and a moving spirit.

The girl stood in front of Mu Bai, and with only a slight movement of her palm, she actually changed the trajectory of the tiger that was originally about to rush towards Mu Bai.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang.

The tiger directly blasted a two-zhang wide hole in the wall of the salt factory.

Goblin?

Shen Lian stared at the beast-eared girl with indescribable fear in his eyes.

“……”

Shen Lian's strength in the early stage of the Seven Realms was barely strong enough to drive the strong wind around him, and at this time, he exhausted the true qi of his whole body and knelt heavily on the ground.

Mu Bai was a little surprised, it seemed that even if he stepped into the Seven Realms, he would have to pay a huge price if he wanted to influence foreign objects.

Then he stretched out two fingers and gently flicked a brain melon on the girl's head:

"Purple Mandarin Girl, you've been around for a long time, why didn't you show up earlier? I was almost torn to pieces by him."

Mu Bai sensed a familiar aura just now, and the purple mandarin duck had already mixed in the crowd.

However, with her cultivation, she should have hidden her aura from Shen Lian and the others.

The purple duck grunted twice in his throat and swallowed his saliva: "If you become a meat puree, I will fry it and eat it, it will definitely be fragrant and delicious." ”

When Mu Bai heard this, the corners of her eyes twitched, she didn't expect her brain circuit to be so strange.

The purple duck slowly took two steps forward, his eyes changed from laughter to deep, and asked Mu Bai:

"What are you going to do with him?"

Shen Lian knelt on one knee, covering his heart with one hand, and couldn't move at all under the powerful momentum of the purple mandarin.

He is the deputy leader of the Salt Gang, who has been in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, but he was suppressed by a little girl, and don't mix it up.

He preliminarily judged that with the strength displayed by the girl in front of him, it should be in the middle of the Eight Realms of Martial Dao, and the terrifying difference in strength between the two also made Shen Lian completely give up resistance.

The other two men in black also felt the terror of the purple mandarin, and after glancing at each other, they decided to fly away and evacuate.

The purple mandarin walked over leisurely and squatted beside Shen Lian, with a teasing look on his face.

"Looking at his eyes, it is a difficult bone to gnaw, and it is estimated that it is not easy to interrogate. If you don't bring it back to the palace, there are one hundred and thirty-nine kinds of torture in the Punishment Division, try it slowly, much faster than you ask with your mouth. ”

The purple mandarin turned his head to look at Mu Bai.

Mu Bai smiled and said nothing, and walked over, with the purple duck by his side, he was not afraid that Shen Lian would have a chance to kill him, but now he is difficult to protect himself, and he is not on the other at all.

"Take him to the firewood room of the salt factory."

Suoxin and Furong came over, put their swords around Shen Lian's neck, and escorted him in. Shen Lian, who was heavily rewarded, did not resist in the slightest.

Zi Yuan looked at him with some confusion: "Are you sure you won't send it to the Shen Criminal Division?" ”

Mu Bai bowed down and said, "Purple Mandarin Girl, can you let me deal with it?" ”

Zi Yuan didn't say anything, after all, the empress explained that she secretly protected Mu Bai and did not ask her to interfere in Mu Bai's affairs.

I saw the girl slowly step forward and stretch out a small pink palm.

Mu Bai was puzzled: "What? ”

"Take the money, this girl has never worked in vain."

Mu Bai squinted her eyes, this girl turned out to be a money fan: "How much?" I don't have more. ”

"Not much, a hundred taels."

Mu Bai's legs were weak: "Purple Mandarin girl, I only have eighty taels a year, and I haven't sent it yet, where did I get one hundred taels." ”

The purple mandarin duck bowed slightly, took out a small notebook from his waist, a small brush, dipped it with his small tongue, and wrote:

"Then take it first, and pay me back as soon as you get it, and you can charge interest if it's late."

After saying that, the purple duck rode a horse and left alone.

Mu Bai looked at the smart back, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

If you want to chop it, if you snort, you are not a hero. ”

Shen Lian had already had the intention of dying.

Mu Bai admired this kind of righteous hero, looked at the water in the cup, and suddenly said in a mocking tone:

"The salt merchants are really ruthless, they make a lot of money, and they leave the work to your salt gang to do. Even if you come and go in the wind and rain on weekdays, you can't imagine that this kind of dirty work of killing the imperial court will be thrown to you to do, and it is really enough. ”

Shen Lian chuckled in his heart, these words could be regarded as poking at his sore spot.

I saw him slowly close his eyes, not wanting to look at Mu Bai.

"Hmph, Dog Officer, you're no better. The salt merchants will at least give us a bite to eat, and you want to take the pot away. ”

Once the imperial court fully controls the salt business, it is bound to greatly squeeze the profits of the salt merchants, and the salt gang, as the bottom of the entire industry, can only be seriously exploited.

Therefore, Shen Lian's hatred for Mu Bai could be seen from his expression.

Mu Bai smiled indifferently: "Actually, the Salt Gang has always been within my consideration. There can be no four major salt merchants in the world, but there can be no salt gang. Whether it is the official salt or the black-hearted salt of the salt merchants, it is all spelled out by the brothers of the salt gang with their shoulders and backbones......"

As Mu Bai's words slowly unfolded, Shen Lian's expression changed from hatred to surprise.
