Chapter 20: Wu Xie

Hearing this, Mu Sheng quickly got up from his seat and bowed to Wu Xie and said, "Sir, please take a seat, I understand, if this gentleman clearly sides with the prince's party, it will definitely anger Your Majesty, but I don't know what to do in this situation at the moment, and please teach me." ”

At this time, Mu Sheng suddenly remembered that this cheap father gave him a gold medal to enter and leave Tianji Palace at will, and accidentally said that I want to make you the crown prince, which obviously wanted to arouse his ambition to compete for the throne, and then logically watched him and the prince's party compete for power, and he was good to balance the situation in the back?

Looking at Wu Xie's expression of a mountain man's own clever plan, Mu Sheng knew that he should have a good way.

Wu Xie smiled slightly and said, "Changping Jun, don't be impatient, you must fight, otherwise Your Majesty will not be able to pass that level." ”

"Your Majesty, there is a person in this Qingyang City who needs our strength to make friends, this person is called Guo Huan, strong in martial arts, originally from Chen County, Jidong County, he is a heroic and righteous person, and on the surface he seems to be a lone ranger, but as far as I know, he has long secretly served His Royal Highness the Prince."

"I also heard that the East Palace has recently been collecting heroes from all over the world, take this opportunity, you can first find a ranger with superb martial arts, take the opportunity to serve the East Palace, or serve the people around the prince, at least the prince must have our eyes, ears and eyeliner around him, at least to know himself and the enemy, before waiting for the opportunity."

Mu Sheng turned around several times in place, felt reasonable, and agreed, "Okay!" Just Mr., what Mr. means is that if we want to send someone to approach the East Palace, we have to open Guo Huan's door first? ”

Wu Xie said, "Yes." ”

Mu Sheng bowed and saluted, "Sir, can you be a guest in my house?" ”

Wu Xie smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to your unabandonment, I originally introduced cloth clothes, but now I am poor and poor, and I borrow the treasure land of your mansion to live for a long time, but your lord, the annual commission is not low?" ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say that."

"Two thousand gold, how?"

"Good!"

Although Wu Xie asked for a very high price, it was a pity that such a talent was let go, even if he used more than half of the income of Qianhu Hou to support him, it was not too much, if he was allowed to run to the right home, then the loss would not be something outside the body in front of him.

Mu Sheng thought about it, fortunately he was not ambitious, and he knew that the crown prince had been set for more than ten years, and the power of the East Palace was very large, and his arms could not twist his thighs, but he could not afford to offend the thicker thighs on His Majesty's side.

If he openly stood in the East Palace, let alone the marquis of a thousand households, it is estimated that he would be pushed to the end immediately, and in the end, he would be demoted to a concubine like the fifth prince Su, and he didn't know where he was assigned.

Mu Sheng sighed in his heart, the emperor's mental trick!

This is the embarrassing dilemma between the current leader and the future leader successor, no one can afford to offend, and everyone has to listen to everyone's words, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat on the stage.

Mu Sheng was a little indignant in his heart, who did he offend so much? has been in the palace for more than three years, and it is so low-key and connotative! Who am I messing with? As for me?

If it weren't for the luck of meeting Wu Xie today, with his IQ, the eighty episodes of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" would have to be mixed with luck for five episodes at most, and he would have to get a boxed lunch, and he has lived in vain in these two lives.

In his previous life, his girlfriend forced him to watch palace fighting dramas together, and he was still very resistant in his heart, so he would have watched a few more episodes if he knew it, and summarized how these ruthless people were fighting in the palace......

At that moment, Mu Sheng personally arranged a separate residence for Mr. Wu in Gongzi's mansion.

After settling Wu Xie, Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Mr. has come from afar, and when I meet, I should do my best to be a landlord, how about picking up the wind and washing the dust for Mr." ”

Wu Xie bowed his head slightly and said, "Then I will be disrespectful and disturb you." ”

"There, there, this gentleman can get the help of Mr., such as Liu Yuanjun getting the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, it is really a great luck for this gentleman."

When Wu Xie heard this, he looked puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, who is this Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick?" ……”

Mu Sheng was suddenly embarrassed on the spot, and he said that he was out of his mouth again, he hurriedly opened his crown and Li Dai, and made up a story of nonsense, and finally fooled it......

Mu Sheng saw that Wu Xie seemed to believe his fool, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was so dangerous!

Wu Xie listened to it for a long time, and probably understood the general meaning of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, Gongzi Sheng obviously treated him as a confidant who could be relied on, and he was also a little moved in his heart that Gongzi Sheng valued himself so much.

In the past few days, Mu Sheng and Wu Xie had a long talk, and also roughly understood Wu Xie's past, he has some legends, in the era of the nations, he was born in the Wu family of Lu State, although the ancestor is the Lu country, but by his generation has long declined.

In the era of the nations, Wu Xie and his family migrated to Yue to make a living, and his ancestors also used to be officials in Yue Kingdom.

Originally, Wu Xie planned to enter the Yue Kingdom as an official after the coronation ceremony, to see if he could govern the country and level the world with his knowledge, but he never expected that more than ten years ago, after the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty ascended the throne, it only took ten years to sweep away the princes of the world, and the Yue Kingdom naturally followed the death of the country.

Wu Xie had no way out, so he had to go far away from his hometown to Zhuo County to be a low-level official of the Jin Dynasty, in short, gold will shine wherever it is, and he has been appreciated by the local county guard for many years to be a county officer, assisting the county guard to deal with government affairs, and the level is equivalent to a prefectural and municipal cadre.

The scale of a county in the Jin Dynasty was slightly smaller than that of the current provinces, generally under the jurisdiction of more than a dozen counties, and the larger counties under the jurisdiction of more than 20 counties, which is equivalent to the current medium-sized provinces.

The county guard is a senior official of the Jin Dynasty, with a silver seal and a green ribbon, and the treatment is a high-ranking official equal to the Central Jiuqing, he can do the county Cheng, although he is not an official, just an official, but it is also a middle-level of the Jin Dynasty, as long as someone is promoted, the future is immeasurable.

Later, the county guard was transferred, and for some reason, Wu Xie resigned and did not make it to the capital, speaking of which, he was a little vague, and Mu Sheng guessed that he might not agree with the new governor at that time.

Such as Wu Xie's experience and birth is the son of the poor family of this era, the cold family of this era refers to the lonely nobles, the ancestors of the family have been broad, the children of the poor family do not refer to the ordinary people, ordinary people can only be called common people, and then there are hooligans who have no house and no property, and ordinary people are not worthy of being poor at all.

According to the hierarchical division of the current era, Mu Sheng belonged to the common people class with houses and property in his previous life, even if he was admitted to a good university, he could be lucky enough to enter a large company, and he had no power or power, you still belonged to the common people.

When he came to this different world, he was already very satisfied to be able to mix with a royal relative and be crowned a king, which is already a great leap in class.

Mu Sheng and Wu Xie got along for a few days, and they had a feeling of hating each other, and the two had been discussing how to find someone to blend in with the prince's faction and act cheaply.

Wu Xie is waiting to recommend a candidate to Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng suddenly proposed to Wu Xie, "Sir, why don't you let me disguise myself as a ranger to find that Guo Huan to take a path, I have just been sealed, and it has not been a few days since I opened the mansion and built the government, and there are no trustworthy people under my hands, and I am not very relieved to find outsiders to match the prince." ”

Wu Xie thought for a while, then agreed, "It's okay, Gongzi, you are also a monk, not to mention martial arts, you are also a talent urgently needed by the East Palace, I will help you prepare a new identity." ”

A few days later, Wu Xie prepared a set of outfits that Lu people often wear, and even Mu Sheng's hairstyle was changed to Lu people's hairstyle, and he was named Liu Zhang.

Mu Sheng saw that this old boy didn't know where to get a human skin mask, and he had prepared various materials to prove his identity, he was really convinced, and his network was wide enough......

In this way, Wu Xie should also have reservations about everything he said, which made him a little curious about his past experience. Then he dispelled the idea of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, it didn't matter, it was unrealistic to expect to dig out his heart and lungs for just a few days of getting along, as long as everyone's interests and goals were the same.

He carefully looked at the outfit that Wu Xie had prepared for him, he was very curious about this human skin mask, he unconsciously touched it with his hand, the mask had a soft texture, it should be made of a kind of animal skin, very light and thin, but it was not really made of human skin.

This type of mask is not a full-coverage mask as described in the film and television drama, but is divided into seven separate patches, corresponding to each part of the face, as well as fake beard hair.

Because the full-coverage human skin mask has a fatal disadvantage is that it looks particularly fake, not that it is not done like it, the biggest problem of the full-coverage mask is that it cannot follow the facial muscle movement expression.

Unless you are expressionless the whole time, you may be able to mix it up, and the full-coverage view may be okay from a distance, but it will definitely be full of flaws when you look closely.

The human facial muscles are the most numerous and complex, and the ability of humans to make complex expressions is due to the complex facial muscles.

In fact, as long as you change a little bit of the human face, you will feel that the whole person's temperament has changed, just like the makeup technique of one of the four major evil arts in Asia in later generations, some people change the effect of their heads after makeup, and if two people are judged before and after makeup, this human skin mask is also the same principle.

Mu Sheng immediately picked up the mask and wanted to try the effect, he worked blindly under the guidance of Wu Xie, and it was done in about half an hour, because it took a long time to use it unskillfully, and it could be done with a cup of tea after the technique was proficient, but it was a little troublesome, and every time he went out, he had to change his hair and makeup.

Mu Sheng now understands why girls go out so slowly, and it takes at least an hour to go out to go out to dinner, and it takes at least an hour to start when she goes out, and it is grease and powder, and clothes are matched, and when she comes back, she has to remove her makeup and wash her face, etc., so it seems that the social cost of girls is higher.

Sometimes I think it's better to be a big man who picks his feet, take a hot bath, apply some hairspray and look like a greasy uncle and go out.

Under the careful guidance of Wu Xie, Mu Sheng put on a human skin mask and looked in the mirror for a long time, but he didn't recognize who the person inside was? He made all kinds of expressions without any sense of disobedience, and his original image as a man was a little too handsome and lacked masculinity.

Now the image looks like the image of a heroic young man in his early twenties, the jawbone put the fake skin, and the face immediately became the square face of the country, the fake eyebrows and fake beard, the effect is comparable to plastic surgery, it looks heroic, and he is very satisfied with the current image.

It seems that if you want to have masculinity, the problem is also in the face shape, and if the face shape is angular and angular, it will look heroic.

Mu Sheng admired the craftsmanship of the person who made this mask in his heart, and he had to admire the wisdom and means of the ancients. He couldn't help but be a little curious, this Wu Xie didn't look like someone who could study this kind of thing?

He turned his head and asked, "Mr. Wu, where did you get this little thing?" ”

Wu Xie smiled and said, "Although Wu is poor, he has been mixed in officialdom and rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has traveled extensively, but he still knows some strange people and strange things, I don't know if you have heard of Moyingmen?" ”

"Ink Shadow Gate?"

Wu Xie saw Mu Sheng's confused expression and knew that he had to give him some science.

"Childe, this Ink Shadow Sect was just a primary school in the era of a hundred schools of thought hundreds of years ago, and then it couldn't survive, so its disciples dedicated themselves to exploring some secrets in the rivers and lakes or in the officialdom, and after getting the information, they sold it to people in need at a high price.

"It is said that no one who joined this sect has ever seen their true faces, and during his tenure in Xiazhuo, he accidentally rescued a strange man in prison, and he gave this set of clothes to his subordinates for safekeeping in order to repay the grace of saving his life, and then committed suicide."

"Suicide?"

"Yes, there is a rule in their sect, you can't show your true face, and you must not give your skills to outsiders, violators will be treated as traitors, at that time, this strange man handed over this set of clothes to his subordinates, and the only request was for me to take care of his family, and then he drew his sword and killed himself......"

When Mu Sheng heard this, he said, "I see. ”
