"Chapter 168: Countermeasures"
The purple-robed middle-aged man's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he sneered and said: "Hehe, Mu Lingyun, your Mu family has great energy, since you also think that without the help of my Cao family, you can get together a thousand people, then I, Cao Mang, will leave." ”
He was not afraid that Mu Lingyun would really do something to him, and his words were extremely sarcastic.
With that, he waved the purple sleeved robe, straightened up, and led the crowd and the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the hall away.
"Slow down and don't send it!"
Mu Lingyun's tone was also unkind.
But anger is anger, and he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
If it is done against Cao Mang, it will be a struggle between the Mu family and the Cao family, two big families. At that time, the Mu family will be mired in the quagmire of fighting with the Cao family, not to mention that the thousand people will have to be gathered in half a month, and it will be even weaker.
After receiving Mu Lingyun's orders, the Mu family, who had surrounded the entrance of the hall, got out of the way.
After all the people from the Cao family had left, Mu Lingyun waved his hand to disperse the family.
After suppressing the anger in his heart, Mu Lingyun's face couldn't help but show a trace of sadness.
The relationship between the four major families is not good, although they seem to be polite on the surface on weekdays, but as the real helmsman of the Mu family, he is extremely aware of the undercurrents surging.
He was able to find the Cao family this time, and it was also because he learned that the eldest son of the Cao family had some meaning to Mu Hongyan, so he wanted to see if he could rely on this relationship to let the Cao family help.
But things were far beyond his expectations, the Cao family actually relied on this threat to him, wanting him to marry Mu Hongya.
This is something he cannot tolerate.
As for the character of the eldest son of the Cao family, as the helmsman of the Mu family, he couldn't be clearer.
Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, nothing was left behind.
Not only is Mu Hongyan unwilling to do so, but he, as a father, will not agree.
"I'm sorry, Daddy."
At this time, Mu Hongyan in the hall squirmed her red lips slightly, and her pretty face was full of apologies.
"It's okay, their minds are clear, you must know that only my Mu family, whether it is in the Seven Star Tomb or in the Cloud Shadow Continent, is a famous big family. The Cao family is just able to dominate the Seven Star Tomb, even if you agree to marry him, your father will not agree. ”
Seeing that Mu Hongyan was a little aggrieved in the hall, Mu Lingyun hurriedly relieved.
For his only daughter, he is very precious, but he is afraid of melting in his mouth, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and he can't see her suffer a little grievance.
Hearing this, Mu Hongya's aggrieved pretty face slowly stretched out, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart, and she bit her teeth lightly: "Thank you, Daddy." ”
For this father of hers, she could deeply feel the love he gave.
Mu Lingyun shook his head slowly, and then looked at Lin Beichen who was standing beside Mu Hongyan.
As soon as he thought of Lin Beichen, a kid, who dared to hold his precious daughter's waist just now and touch her belly, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
"Hey, hey..."
In this regard, Lin Beichen could only smile awkwardly.
Who let this little girl threaten me just now, this is the lesson......
And Mu Hongyan saw Mu Lingyun staring at Lin Beichen so directly, she couldn't help but recall Lin Beichen's outrageous behavior just now, and immediately blushed and lowered her head unconsciously.
In front of her father, she has such an intimate act with a man, as a girl, she naturally has to be shy.
"By the way, Master Mu, if this Cao family refuses to help, aren't there two other families?" Lin Beichen seemed to remember what had just happened, and hurriedly broke the strange atmosphere in the hall.
Mu Lingyun couldn't help but sigh heavily, and after slowly shaking his head, he said, "I've been looking for them all, and none of them are willing to help." ”
Lin Beichen was slightly stunned, and a look of doubt couldn't help but appear on his face, and then asked, "Don't they want to leave this ghost place?" ”
"Hell place?"
Mu Lingyun smiled dumbly.
"As I said just now, except for my Mu family, who still has a well-known family in the Cloud Shadow Continent, the first generation of the other three families who were exiled are all unknown people in the Cloud Shadow Continent."
"The first generation of ancestors of my Mu family who were exiled into the country belonged to the Mu family in the southern region of the Cloud Shadow Continent, and the strength of this family also belonged to the existence that could be powerful in the southern region. This is recorded in the ancestral teachings left by our ancestors. ”
"Like our Mu family, if we leave the Seven Star Tomb and return to the Cloud Shadow Continent, we can still return to the Mu family in the Southern Regions to recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors."
"But if the other three families also return to the Cloud Shadow Continent, they will completely lose this kind of dominance that can be used to fight the wind and rain."
"You must know that there is no aura in the Seven Star Tomb, we are ordinary mortals, and we have no cultivation and only a large amount of gold and silver treasures."
"But these things are only useful to mortals, and once you return to the Cloud Shadow Continent, these things will not be of much use."
"Therefore, leaving the Seven Star Tomb is not important to them, and even after they go back, their status will plummet."
As he spoke, the corners of Mu Lingyun's mouth couldn't help but outline a wry smile.
Before visiting the three major families, he also thought of this possibility in his heart, but he had a trace of luck in his heart.
I feel that these three major families may not only be satisfied with the status quo, but are willing to be only the overlord of the Seven Star Tomb.
But after the visit, he gave up. He overestimated their ambitions.
Hearing this, Lin Beichen couldn't help but fall into silence for a while, and after a long time, he asked with some doubts: "I heard Miss Mu say that the Seven Star Tomb has a population of about 500,000, is it difficult for these 1,000 people to make it up?" ”
Hearing this, Mu Lingyun was slightly stunned, and then explained: "It's not difficult for these thousand people to come together, but with my Mu family's financial resources, if you want to do it, there are some difficulties." ”
"Don't these people make any money?"
Lin Beichen's face stiffened slightly, a little hard to believe.
Although the value exchange used by cultivators and mortals is different, one thing they have in common is that neither can avoid the desire for wealth.
It's like a yin old man, for those Xu Lingjing, he can take care of big and small things for Long Aotian.
"It's not that I don't want to make money, it's that many people don't dare to make money, and I don't know who leaked the news and told all the things in the Sun Moon Lake, and those who originally wanted to sign up were discouraged by fear at the moment." Mu Lingyun sighed lightly, and then continued:
"Before I left the Mu family yesterday, I instructed the housekeeper to post a notice, promising that those who signed up could get one hundred taels of silver, and if they unfortunately died, their family members could receive two hundred taels of silver on their behalf, which is also the limit of my Mu family now."
"You must know that this one hundred taels of silver is enough for ten years of expenses for an ordinary family, but even so, as of the arrival of the Cao family just now, there were only more than 20 people who came to sign up."
"If this trend continues, there will be a distance from the number of 1,000 people in half a month."
"If the bounty can be increased a little more, maybe there will be more people who dare to sign up, but unfortunately, with the financial resources of my Mu family, I can only open the bounty here."
Mu Lingyun sighed faintly, and the sadness on his face became a little worse.
"Is that ......?"
After listening to Mu Lingyun's explanation, Lin Beichen couldn't help but bow his head and ponder.
"Lin Gongzi, what should we do now?"
Mu Hongyan's pretty face at the moment was also like Mu Lingyun, and a little sadness appeared.
What's more, she feels that it is because of her existence that the relationship between the Mu family and the Cao family is so tense.
She knew in her heart how much her father, the helmsman of the Mu family, wanted to leave the Seven Star Tomb and return to the Cloud Shadow Continent to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
With Lin Beichen's silence, the atmosphere in the hall fell silent for a while.
After a while, Lin Beichen slowly raised his head and asked tentatively, "In the entire Seven Star Tomb, apart from your Mu family, are there any other families or people, the ancestors of the first generation who were exiled here were also once famous in the Cloud Shadow Continent?" ”
"Well..."Mu Lingyun lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Yes, yes, but there are not many people I know." ”
"That's easy to do, you like this, send someone to post a notice in a more conspicuous place in the entire Seven Star Tomb."
"Hmm... On the notice, you write that once the dragon in Sun Moon Lake is wiped out, they can return to the Cloud Shadow Continent, recognize their ancestors, and regain the glory of their ancestors. ”
"Hmm... By the way, there is a sentence to be added to the notice, the Cloud Shadow Continent is a realm that respects cultivation, and after returning to the Cloud Shadow Continent, through their own hard work, they will be able to rank among the strong, and they will no longer be oppressed by others. ”
Lin Bei put his hand against his chin and said what he thought in his heart.
The three major families didn't want to leave, because the benefits they got here were far more than going out to the Cloud Shadow Continent.
But some ordinary people don't think like this, they are also ordinary mortals in this Seven Star Tomb, instead of being governed by the four major families and some large and small families in this Seven Star Tomb, it is better to go out to the Cloud Shadow Continent to cultivate hard and live a different life.
As long as these people think that way, then everything is easy to say.
"Okay, I'll tell the housekeeper to do it."
Mu Lingyun nodded lightly, then raised his leg and wanted to leave.
"Wait."
Lin Beichen suddenly spoke.
Mu Lingyun's footsteps paused slightly, and then he looked at Lin Beichen in puzzlement.
"There is another one, you add one, if you can't find the ancestral clan power in the Cloud Shadow Continent, you can come to me to get a copy of the exercises for cultivation."
Lin Beichen said slowly.
