Chapter 23: Calling Brothers and Sisters
In the living room of Guo's mansion, Guo Huan remembered Mu Sheng's performance at the banquet yesterday, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, this Liu brother from Zhuojun gave him enough face, his own strength is not simple, and he is noble, I don't know what happened to this visit? That's it! When he sobers up, he will know.
At this moment, Mu Sheng had a good night's sleep, he got up in the morning only to feel that there was something warm in the nest holding him, he looked back in a daze, only to see a young woman with a good face hugging Mu Sheng, the woman felt Mu Sheng's movement and gradually woke up.
This frightened him a lot, and his heart said,! A meal of wine broke in a mess? No way! Quietly turned around and secretly glanced at her jade body, and instantly felt a little unable to suppress the anger, he hurriedly recited the heart mantra silently, and finally there was no danger.
Mu Sheng stammered and asked, "Yesterday, what did you do to be sorry for the girl?" ”
Although it's drunk and disorderly, but a man has to be responsible after sleeping, so if you can't take it back to the house.
I saw the woman covering her mouth and laughing, and said with some regret in her tone: "Childe, the slave maid is just a maid in the warm house, and yesterday the son was drunk and unconscious, and he did nothing wrong to the slave and maid." ”
After saying that, she seemed to be a little lost, Mu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, okay, scared to death, it seems that there will be a limit to drinking in the future, almost pretending to be mixed up This time it was really high, it seems that it is still in Guo Huan's mansion.
Mu Sheng hurriedly got dressed and picked up his big sword and went to the living room of Guo's mansion, it was not good to be lazy here.
When he arrived in the living room, sure enough, this Guo Daxia had been waiting here for a long time.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and bowed and said, "Guo Daxia, I'm really sorry, Liu drank too much yesterday, lost his temper after drinking, and looked at Haihan." ”
Guo Huan got up with a smile and walked over to hold my hand, and said, "Where is Brother Liu Xian, yesterday's sword dance of Brother Xian shocked the audience, and this spread that my Guo's face is full of confidence, if Brother Xian does not give up, how old is my brother Guo, how old is Brother Guo, how do you and my brother commensurate?" ”
Wouldn't it, it's just a drink, and the relationship is close to this extent? Mu Sheng originally wanted to come to visit more often to get closer to each other, but this is a good step, and they are all called brothers.
Mu Sheng understood it in his heart, and immediately changed his words, "Brother Guo, it's really an honor to raise the junior brother like this. ”
Guo Huan smiled: "Okay! Guo Mou is straightforward and fast-talking, I watched the sword dance of the virtuous brother yesterday There is something unclear in my heart, and I want to ask the virtuous brother for advice. ”
"Brother Guo is polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I know everything about the virtuous brother."
"Brother Xian seems to be a monk?"
Mu Sheng pretended to be annoyed, showing that he was really drinking and making a mistake, and his brain twitched, which accidentally exposed his strength, but in fact, he did it on purpose......
Mu Sheng looked puzzled and said, "How did Brother Guo know?" ”
Guo Huan said, "Brother Xian doesn't know, Guo has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, I have been in contact with some Daomen disciples, I have seen one or two of their body movements, Brother Xian's sword dance last night was terrifying, if I expected it to be good, the sword in the hand of Brother Xian is actually a Daomen magic weapon, otherwise it would not be so powerful." ”
Mu Sheng looked annoyed and said, "Brother Guo, it's not that the younger brother intends to deceive, since you have been in contact with the people in the Daomen, you should have heard of the rules of our Daomen, we disciples go out to practice, the rules of this sect are not easy to say and listen to others, unless you encounter any last resort, yesterday the younger brother drank and misbehaved, and he didn't stop in Xingtou, and asked the eldest brother Haihan." ”
Guo Huan said with an atmospheric look, "Where is the virtuous brother, I, Guo, can get acquainted with a monk like the virtuous brother, and after I am still a nobleman, it is too late to be happy, how can I take this deception of the virtuous brother to heart, come to the virtuous brother to sit down, and come to the decanting soup." ”
Guo Huan said, "Brother Xian, Guo has something unclear, although I, Guo Mou, have made a name for myself in the rivers and lakes over the years, but I am just an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, such as Brother Xian, the dragon and phoenix are not to the point of intersecting with the lower fold, right?" ”
Mu Sheng said while drinking the sobering soup: "Brother Guo, where is it!" Although the younger brother is a cultivator, he doesn't know any rules when he first enters the rivers and lakes, but he just heard that Guo Juxia is famous for punishing evil and promoting good in this world, so he wants to take a look. ”
"The little brother really has something to ask for, this matter can only be done by Brother Guo, if you can do it, if you can do this, if the eldest brother has summoned the little brother, don't dare to disobey."
Guo Huan said with an expression that I knew: "Brother Xian, you and I see each other as before, but it doesn't hurt to say, the eldest brother will do his best to help." ”
Mu Sheng's eyes flashed and said, "Junior brother, I heard that the eldest brother is working in the East Palace, I don't know if this news is true?" ”
Guo Huan's eyes flashed, and his heart moved, he secretly worked for the East Palace, and there were not many people who knew about it.
Guo Huan didn't admit it, but said tentatively, "Brother Xian, don't dare to talk nonsense, the threshold of the East Palace is not something that ordinary people can get, Guo did have some contact with the people in the East Palace in the past, but it was just business dealings, which really made outsiders a little misunderstood." ”
Seeing that Guo Huan refused to admit it, Mu Sheng took out a pair of jade pendants that Wu Xie had prepared for him in advance and handed it to him.
Mu Sheng instantly sighed, and said in a heavy tone, "Big brother, can you recognize this?" ”
I saw that Guo Huan's face changed slightly when he saw this thing, he couldn't help it anymore, he was excited, and sighed in a sad tone, "Brother Xian, where did you get this thing?" ”
Then Mu Sheng repeated what Wu Xie told him to Guo Huan.
Guo Huan heard Mu Sheng's words and sighed, "Brother Xian, I can't hide it, this thing is my own brother Guo Xuan's belongings. ”
In fact, the prisoner of the Moyingmen that Wu Xie saved in prison was Guo Huan's younger brother, and if it wasn't for Guo Jue's accidental arrest over the years, no one would have known that he was a member of the Moyingmen.
This mysterious organization has always been a person of all identities, and it is really a representative of the city that is hidden in the city, and it is also the target of the imperial court's key crackdown, and Wu Xie's resignation seems to be related to this matter.
Hearing what happened to Guo Xuan, Guo Huan sighed, "Hey! I've been inquiring about my brother's news for many years, I really didn't expect him to be a member of Momen, he is also breaking the rules of Momen like this, I just need to know his whereabouts, and I can be regarded as having an explanation for my deceased mother. ”
Guo Huan took the jade pendant and thought about it for a long time and said, "Since Brother Xian is my brother's life-saving benefactor, that is his own person, Guo simply said it, I am indeed doing things for the East Palace, Brother Xian, you want me to introduce you to the current prince, but so?" ”
"Big brother is discerning."
"There, there, now the East Palace is indeed recruiting, with the strength of the virtuous brother himself, even if there is no recommendation from me, going to the East Palace to do things will be reused sooner or later."
Mu Sheng said, "Big brother praises, big brother is a close person in front of the prince today, if you are willing to introduce the younger brother, the younger brother will be valued by His Royal Highness the prince." ”
This is the importance of internal referees, first of all, the referee itself is very valued by the leaders within the organization, if he uses his own personal credibility guarantee, then the referee is easier to integrate into the organization.
If there is no problem with personal ability, it is easier to be appreciated and promoted by leaders, which is much faster than slowly boiling qualifications and gradually exchanging trust, in fact, Guo Huan also went up like this.
But having said that, the same referrer also has to bear a certain risk, if the recommender is unreliable, he will also bear a crisis of trust, so recommending outsiders into the organization is to be investigated in many ways.
Guo Huan sighed and said, "Brother Xian, if you want to recommend it, it's okay, but the person who wants to cling to the prince is like crossing the river, and to be honest, he is not inferior to Brother Xian." ”
Mu Sheng saw Guo Huan's hesitant expression, his heart moved, and said, "Please show the way for the eldest brother, if you want to accept the name, the younger brother will not dare to disobey." ”
Guo Huan saw Mu Sheng coming up, and his tone changed and said, "Brother Xian, don't worry, the coming day is long, I'm looking for an opportunity for you to make meritorious contributions to the crown prince, so it will be much easier for me to recommend Brother Xian to enter the East Palace." ”
To put it bluntly, it is to examine Mu Sheng's business ability, loyalty, and heart, and it is not just any waste snack that can enter the door.
Mu Sheng gave a big gift when he heard this, and said, "The eldest brother's kindness to the younger brother is like recreation, and he is worshiped by the younger brother." ”
Guo Huan hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Sheng and said, "I don't like to hear what Brother Xian says, so I have to help Brother Xian with my brother Guo Xuan's affairs, in the future, we brothers will be colleagues who work for the East Palace, and they are all our own people, so it will be much more convenient to run errands for the prince in the future." ”
Mu Sheng was moved and said, "Big brother......"
Guo Huan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good virtuous brother." ”
It was already noon when Mu Sheng came out of the door of Guo's mansion, and the play of this brother and brother Gong had been performed for a long time, and the progress was somewhat unexpectedly good, and he felt that the decisive role in his heart was the jade pendant that Wu Xie gave him that was said to be Guo Huan's younger brother Guo Jue.
Mu Sheng said in his heart, okay! The first stage of the task has been reached, and you can go back to your home, but you can't go back to your house directly, I feel that this Guo Huan still doesn't trust him enough, so I will find an inn to live in by myself first, and then sneak back to the house at night to discuss the progress of the work with Wu Xie.
Go for it! After acting in a drama for a day, Mu Sheng finally knew what life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, acting skills are not enough, and he has the cheekiness to make up for it......
Leaving Guo's mansion, Mu Sheng strode to an inn, registered his identity information, and checked his hometown's address, anyway, the Jin Dynasty was like this, and the control of outsiders was particularly strict, and he couldn't live in the hotel without Mr. Wu making these fake certificates for Mu Sheng.
In the lobby of Guo's mansion, a person who looked like a shopkeeper was reporting to Guo Huan in the lobby at night.
The shopkeeper said, "Master, I saw with my own eyes that this Liu Gongzi entered the Chaohe Inn, but he went back after a meal at night, and never went out of the room again, he is a cultivator, and his five senses are different from ordinary people, and the small ones don't dare to stare too closely." ”
Guo Huan's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Guo Huan waved his hand and said, "I know, I will go to the account tomorrow to get paid, you can go down." ”
"Thank you, master."
At this moment, Mu Sheng secretly shouted in the inn that it was dangerous! Fortunately, he left a hand, Mu Sheng felt as if he was being targeted during the day, and this is indeed a master of stalking among ordinary people, but in Mu Sheng's eyes, it is nothing, this is no different from staring behind his ass, and the sixth sense of a cultivator is very powerful.
He knew that with Guo Huan, a prince and a secret son of His Royal Highness the Prince, no matter how beautiful he was on the surface, he was generally very wary of outsiders, and it was extremely difficult to impress this kind of old rivers and lakes just by relying on one-sided words.
Mu Sheng estimated that the next vote may not be simple, there is no way to block it, and the water can only cover it.
