In the spacious study, Bai Hao behind the table was silent for a moment, and he couldn't remember who this person was for a while, just as he raised his thick eyebrows and wanted to ask, Hou Yiyong, who was observant, immediately added: "Jiang Shangxiu is Jiang Xingyuan's righteous son, and now Jiang Xingyuan is gradually hiding behind the scenes, and many things are handed over to this person to deal with." ”

Bai Hao bowed slightly, and said: "Jiang Xingyuan, these old things are afraid that they have smelled something, so they shrank in the dark, what, Wanhua Valley doesn't want to intervene, but cares about the trivial matters on our side." ”

In front of the boss, the intelligence work was not done thoroughly, this crime can be big or small, Hou Yiyong, who made a mistake just now, analyzed responsibly this time: "The Hidden Valley Assassin Pulse cooperated with the Quanfu Pulse last time, and the target was this Mu Qing, and now it seems that it may be some kind of test, and they may not be able to see this Mu Qing right." ”

"As for the matter of Wanhua Valley, hehe, the little one thinks that Jiang Xingyuan is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and he has picked himself out as an outsider and put him in an invincible position. ”

Bai Hao agreed with the analysis of his subordinates, and said indifferently: "In the battle of Wanhua Valley, even if Murong Xing temporarily controls his old friend, whether it can really be done in the end depends on what Murong Yin thinks." ”

"Heh, looking at it this way, it is indeed a family affair of the brothers of the Murong family, and the old guy is very clear,"

"The city lord sees it. Hou Yiyong said with a smile: "As the most powerful force in the chaotic land of Tiannan Marsh Forest, the elders of their various veins have freaks in their hearts and have their own needs, so they have the opportunity to hunt for them. ”

"Around the Imperial Dynasty, the Tiannan Marsh Forest has been in turmoil for so many years, and its strength is the weakest, Your Majesty has long wanted to include it in the territory of the Dynasty, and the matter of Wanhua Valley is just the beginning, and I have asked Xing Zuo to fully cooperate with Vermilion Bird City on behalf of this matter. Bai Hao waved his hand to his henchmen and said, "Or back to this matter, do you have any other clues on Zhang Anping's side?"

Hou Yiyong lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Since the last time I inquired about Mu Qing's news from this person, Zhang Anping has not been to Mud Legs Lane once this month, and there are few clues over there. ”

Bai Haohu's eyes flashed, "What have you exposed?

Hou Yiyong knelt down and said no, he has been secretly observing Zhang Anping recently, and he has gone through many details in his mind, insisted on his previous judgment, and said seriously: "Lord of the city, his subordinates have definitely not exposed their identities, that Zhang Anping has had a lot of contact with villains in the market, and he may have guessed my identity is not simple, but he definitely doesn't know my true identity." ”

"The subordinates thought that this Zhang Anping should be just a marginal figure. I first got the news about Mu Qing from him, if he knew the special significance of Mud Legs Alley, he shouldn't have exposed Mu Qing, a suspicious person, after all, if you calculate your age, this Mu Qing is in line with the age of the son of the chaotic party. ”

Bai Hao closed his eyes and pondered, Hou Yiyong pondered and asked, "City Lord, Zhang Anping doesn't seem to be of much value, do you still want to move that Mu Qing at this time?" Will our City Lord's Mansion have a bad relationship with that Jiang Xingyuan?"

Bai Hao opened his eyes, sneered twice, and said: "This assassin is indeed a peerless knife that can kill, but that Jiang Xingyuan can't even hold the knife in his hand, don't say that this Mu Qing is a seedling he values, even if it is his righteous son Jiang Shangxiu, I dare to move." ”

"Calculate the news from Lu Fei, that Mu Qing should be coming soon, you pay more attention to the situation on Qingyun Street these days, Lao Tzu would rather kill by mistake than let it go, Liuye Bookstore replied. ”

"What?"

"Everyone has their own needs, it is best to be friends, even if he Jiang Xingyuan is in person, he can't stop my determination to exterminate the remnants of the traitorous party. ”

......

......

In the lobby of the Iron Bone Village, Lin Pan, the owner of the village, filled the cup of wine for Mu Qing with a warm face, and said heroically: "Gongzi is not only my Lin Pan's great benefactor, but also the savior of my village, why not stay for two more days." ”

Lin Wen, the second master, sat on the left hand side of his brother, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised a glass to Mu Qing to invite him to drink, "Childe's journey is quite smooth, don't be polite when you come to our Iron Bone Village, my eldest brother has spoken, and the small courtyard where you lived last time will always be kept by Childe." ”

When Lin Wen spoke, he was more polite than the rugged and heroic Lin Pan, but the smile in his eyes was only understood by himself, and he was more afraid.

He is the person who has fought with Mu Qing, and he knows how powerful Mu Qing is.

Although he always suspected in his heart that Lao Jiu, who had not found any bones, also died at the hands of Mu Qing, as long as the eldest brother was still there and he was still there, the three brothers who died actually did not have much bad impact on the village, but provided conditions for him to arrange his henchmen to take the position.

Mu Qing sat on Lin Pan's right hand, smacked the taste of the liquor, shook his head and said, "Forgive me, I have an urgent matter here, and after eating this meal at noon, I have to rush back to Vermilion Bird City." ”

Lin Wen said with a smile: "When Gongzi came back this time, the female dependents he brought with him seem to be some unfamiliar faces. He pretended to have an expression that all men understand.

The people who drank in the lobby were all men, and Wang Yeqing and the others all had lunch in the courtyard where Liu Weirui had stayed before.

Mu Qing smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, Mrs. Wang, they are returning to their hometown, and they just happened to be on the way with me." ”

Things about women, Mu Qing didn't take advantage of it, Lin Wen didn't dare to ask more, Lin Pan looked at Sun Ren who was lucky enough to sit at the end of the long table, there were some doubts in his eyes, Mu Qing They arrived near noon, patronizing Mu Qing, the situation of his group of younger brothers is not very clear, this Sun Ren He knew because of something before, he is an old man in the village, but he is not the henchman he sent out.

"It's thousands of kilometers back and forth, Childe, you haven't encountered any danger. ”

Mu Qing noticed Lin Pan's eyes, and said a little apologetically: "Now there is chaos everywhere, and I have encountered some situations, but fortunately, the brothers of the Iron Bone Village have helped." When Mu Qing said this, he found that Lin Pan and Lin Wen's eyes were nervous, he was funny in his heart, and he didn't scare them that thought, and pointed to Sun Ren and said, "Let's let Brother Sun say it." ”

His "Brother Sun" actually sold Sun Ren a relatively big favor, and Lin's tone of interrogation softened slightly, "Old Sun, tell me quickly, what's wrong, well, how many brothers have folded?"

Sun Ren didn't glance at Mu Qing before and after speaking, but in fact, before returning to the village, he had specially approached Mu Qing for this matter, and weighed in his heart what things he could say and what he couldn't say, so after he finished speaking in a low voice, Lin Pan, who heard his henchman being cut into pieces of meat for molesting the woman, had changed from a sad face to a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't expect only one to die. ”

Because of the promise, when the Iron Bone Village selected the people to escort the caravan, what they said was not good, they were all crooked melons and cracked dates, and it was really not Lin Pan's drunken gaffe to only die one, not to mention that listening to Mu Qing's meaning, the other party also admitted his favor, which made him extremely satisfied when he saw Sun Ren's low voice, "Hmm, in this way, Sun Ren, you did a good job this time, and you will lead the group of people after you come back." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The corners of Sun Ren's mouth cracked with a smile, although he was an old man in the village, he had always been a low-level bastard, and now he could manage nearly twenty people, and the rights were not easy to obtain.

He left the seat at the end of the table and ran to the head of the table with a gust of wind, Lin Pan thought that this kid was here to toast, and sighed that this old boy would be a man, but he didn't expect him to take out a big bulging purse directly from his arms, and when he put it on the table, it made a "bang" sound.

"What are you ......" Lin Pan had some doubts in his eyes, moved his body slightly, squinted at Sun Ren, and said cautiously: "What are you doing with this old boy, Lao Tzu will give you a promotion today, and you can bribe me with gold in it." ”

Sun Ren said "hey", and opened the mouth of the purse in front of him, revealing the yellow gold inside, "The boss is clever, there is really gold in it, fifty taels is no more and no less." ”

There were a few masters sitting in the lobby, and Lao Balin Town, who was far away, stood up directly when he heard the words, stared straight at the corner of the purse, and shouted in surprise: "Big brother, it's really gold!"

"Old man, sit down for me. What kind of system have you become? Lin Wen got close, and naturally saw that this was indeed gold, he reacted before his eldest brother, turned his head and scolded Lin Zhen After sitting down, he didn't look at Sun Ren, but looked at Mu Qing with a cautious face, and asked, "Childe, can you tell me what this means?"

Lin Pan raised his eyebrows, shook his head again and again, and said, "Son, why are you here, this is unacceptable." After speaking, he turned his head and scolded Sun Ren a few words, Sun Ren accepted it with a shy face, he was originally invited to take credit, and he didn't refute it at this time, but just looked at Mu Qing for help.

Mu Qing said with a smile on his face: "Speaking of which, this is indeed earned by Brother Sun and their own. ”

He looked at Lin Wen and said, "Brother Sun, they took over a job at the beginning, similar to a dart escort. Mu Qing was concise and pointed in the direction of Wang Yeqing's courtyard.

Lin Wen was a smart one, his eyes moved, and he asked, "I heard Gongzi call that woman Mrs. Wang, I don't know where Mrs. Wang and they went?"

Mu Qing said: "Mrs. Wang's hometown is in Vermilion Bird City. ”

Lin Pan glared at Sun Ren, frowned, and said, "The Iron Bone Village is still a long way from Vermilion Bird City, doesn't Sun Ren still have to go?"

Mu Qing shook his head and said, "Mrs. Wang and I are on the way, and we won't bother Brother Sun and them on this part of the road." ”

Mu Qing's words were very polite, but Lin Pan also knew that Sun Ren and their little people were not enough in Mu Qing's eyes, although he was a little reluctant, he still pushed the gold in front of Mu Qing, "My family knows about my family's affairs, Sun Ren and they can come back safely, they are all thanks to Gongzi, I can't collect any of this money." ”

Lin Wen nodded, "Childe, the eldest brother is right, although we occupy the mountains and become bandits, we also know where morality lies, and money is not earned like this." ”

Mu Qing said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, this money was not given by me, it was given by Mrs. Wang, but because Brother Sun and them are not needed for the next part of the road, Mrs. Wang wants to pay to the main two people in the village." ”

"It turned out to be here. Lin Wen was shocked, the most important thing in the scene was the last one "but", he thought in his heart that he had recently arrested those people in the village, and exchanged glances with his eldest brother Lin Pan, Lin Pan could suppress Lin Wen, and he was not stupid, and sighed with a smile: "Gongzi said bluntly, which two people does Mrs. Wang want from the village? In the past month, our village has captured a lot of people in order to supplement the manpower." ”

Mu Qing hid the dissatisfaction in his eyes, and said lightly: "It's the errand runner Wuling under Brother Sun, who is very good at things, Mrs. Wang is back to her hometown this time, and she is short of people, so she wants to take the two of them away together." ”

"Oh?" Lin Pan's heart relaxed a lot, looked at Sun Ren and laughed: "I have some impressions, because that brother and sister, you also made trouble, and when you asked for it in front of me, I didn't expect it to be such a favor, you kid has the ability to do business." ”

Sun Ren smiled sneeringly, and when Mu Qing looked at him with some doubts, Lao Balin Town was a little embarrassed to know about this, and said first: "Childe doesn't know, Wuling's sister Wuqing, she is quite handsome and beautiful, I have a subordinate who wanted to snatch her back as a maid, Sun Ren, a good old man who usually doesn't say a word, beat up my subordinates for a sneak attack, a trivial matter, he was afraid of offending me, and he sued my eldest brother directly." ”

In fact, Lin Zhen's subordinates robbed that Wuqing, it was instructed by him, if it was just a subordinate, a good old man with a lot of qualifications like Sun Ren, would not directly ask for Lin Pan, everyone present, Sun Ren smiled, did not refute, and the other people who knew the inside story of this matter all laughed and did not debunk it.

Lin Pan smiled, a glass of wine went straight to his stomach, there was a trace of uncommon justice and self-satisfaction on his face, and said: "Although I, Lin Pan, am a bandit, I also have rules in my heart, I found Lao Ba and his subordinates and scolded them well, otherwise those two brothers and sisters would not have been able to stay in the village for so long." ”

"The lord of the village, I salute you!" Mu Qing raised his glass and thought silently in his heart, in the troubled times, it is indeed a little inaccurate to define a person by "either good or evil".

"Okay!" Lin Pan laughed heartily, toasting a master like Mu Qing, he was willing to have ten more glasses.

After a glass of wine, the money was collected, and the favors were done, the atmosphere was just right, Mu Qing remembered something, and said: "Mrs. Wang, when they return to their hometown this time, they may have to do business from Vermilion Bird City to the north, and they may still deal with you at that time." ”

"It's easy to do. Lin Pan took out an ebony token from his waist, which was a self-made pass from the Iron Bone Village, which was usually given to a certain caravan of sufficient weight, and he handed it to Mu Qing and said: "The tired son handed it over to that Mrs. Wang, even if it is a friend of the son, then Lin Pan is brave and climbing, and he can be regarded as a friend of my Iron Bone Village." ”

Mu Qing didn't refuse, and asked rather casually: "I know that the owner of the village has a connection with Vermilion Bird City, I don't know what the situation of Vermilion Bird City has been recently?"

"What does Childe want to ask?" Lin Wen came to his senses, as soon as the eldest brother drank too much, he would vomit anything, so he had to pay attention.
