There is a wise saying that says, "There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." "In the face of interests, many principles can be completely discarded. Some people will betray their friends, relatives and even themselves for the sake of profit.

When he learned that Long Shiqiu knew the whereabouts of the huge amount of silver taels, at least four or five of the Mu family's seven evils immediately released light in their eyes.

The complexion on Mu Tianhong's face obviously eased a lot, and he picked up the teacup and said, "Please, please drink tea!" Obviously, the temptation of silver had made him forget that his son was beaten.

Long Shiqiu knew that he had aroused the interest of the other party, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "Lord Mubao, as far as I know, Mujiabao has secretly formed an alliance with the Changle Gang, yes or no?"

Mu Tianhong's face changed, and he said slowly: "How did you know about this?"

Long Shiqiu smiled slightly: "What I can tell Lord Mu Bao is that not only I know about this matter, but even the Chief Helmsman of the Dragon Gang Lan already knows about it. ”

"Oh?" Mu Tianhong was obviously surprised, glanced at the other six brothers left and right, and deliberately pretended to be calm: "The people of the Changle Gang have come to me privately, but I, Mu Jiabao, have not yet agreed to cooperate with them. ”

Long Shiqiu smiled strangely and said: "Lord Mubao, the so-called two tigers must be injured, although the Changle Gang is currently supported by the Cold Smoke Mountain Villa on the surface, but don't forget that the strength of the Youlong Gang is also not to be underestimated, after all, their backstage ......" He deliberately said half of his words, waiting for Mu Tianhong to take over the following.

From last night's conversation with Ye Yun, Long Shiqiu had already judged that the reason why the Youlong Gang was able to dominate one side must have the support of the government, and the condition for the Changle Gang to deal with Ye Yun was to hand over the list of secret members of the East Factory in Yueyang to Ye Yun, which showed from the side that the backstage supporting the You Long Gang must be the East Factory.

Regardless of whether the Changle Gang knew that Ye Yun was one of the twelve secret envoys of the Jinyi Guard, as long as they could use the hands of others to disadvantage Dongchang and the Youlong Gang, the Changle Gang would become the beneficiary, not to mention that Ye Yun also promised to help the Changle Gang win the battle of the Dongting Conference.

All the wishful thinking Changle Gang can be said to have fought again, if it gets the support of Mujiabao again, then even if the Dragon Gang has Dongchang to help from it, how can a strong dragon overpower so many local snakes?

Only when the two sides with equal strength fight will it be exciting, and it will be easier for both sides to lose, what Long Shiqiu is doing now is to level the strength of both sides and make them fight more fiercely.

As expected, Mu Tianhong followed the words left by Long Shiqiu and said: "I know that the Youlong Gang has the backing of the East Factory, and Mu Jiabao has never thought of being an enemy of the East Factory. ”

As soon as he said this, the person in the seat continued: "So it seems that Long Daxia is from Dongchang?" Long Shiqiu raised his eyes and glanced at this person, only to see that this person's face was like white paper, his figure was moderate, and the most eye-catching thing was a dazzling willow leaf knife in his hand. As he spoke, the knife in his hand was still trimming his nails.

This is Mu Tianxing, the second in the Mu family's seven evils.

The corners of Long Shiqiu's mouth raised, and he didn't answer his question, but said lightly: "I just want to remind Lord Mubao that now that the shore of Dongting Lake is treacherous, and a drastic change is imminent, if Mujiabao is used by someone at this time and becomes a chess piece in the game, once the chess is wrong, the consequences do not need to be explained." ”

In a word, at this time, you'd better stay neutral and don't help anyone, otherwise no matter who wins or loses, there will be no good fruit for you to eat.

Mu Tianhong pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "The Youlong Gang and the Changle Gang are like fire and water, there will inevitably be a battle, this trip to the troubled water, my Mujiabao originally did not plan to wade, the dispute between the two of them is ostensibly two major gangs fighting for territory, but in fact, it is the dispute between Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and these two Mujiabao can't afford to offend." ”

Seeing that the time was ripe, Long Shiqiu nodded and smiled: "Then since Lord Mu knows that the Jade Ding Dart Bureau has formed an alliance with the Youlong Gang, why bother to be a pawn for others and offend Dongchang and Youlong Gang?"

"This ......" Mu Tianhong was speechless for a while, speechless.

Mu Tianxing on the side suddenly sneered: "I can't imagine that Long Daxia is not only famous in martial arts, but also not inferior to Su and Zhang, do you think that just by virtue of your clever tongue, we will believe that you are from Dongchang?"

Long Shiqiu said lightly: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is whether our business Mu Castle Master is interested in talking?"

As soon as Mu Tianhong waved his hand, Mu Xiong Mu stepped forward with his ear, only to see him give a few words before Mu Xiong turned around and went into the back.

Mu Tianhong coughed dryly and laughed: "I don't know what Long Daxia plans to talk about?"

Long Shiqiu glanced at the other six leaders and asked, "I don't know which of the six leaders is in the position of General Mingwei?"

Mu Tianhong finally remembered that he hadn't introduced the brothers to Long Shiqiu yet, so he introduced them one by one.

Only then did Long Shiqiu know that Mu Tianhong had a half-brother Mu Tianhua, who was currently the captain of the Yueyang Mansion from the fourth rank of cavalry, and was first awarded General Mingwei, but this person was not among the seven evils of the Mu family.

Mu Tianhong suddenly asked, "Why did Long Daxia ask this?"

Long Shiqiu said: "In three days, I will send someone to inform the Lord of Mu Fort to go to the designated place to get the silver, but this matter is best to go in the name of the government, since General Mu Tianhua has the power of the army, it is best to ask General Mu to send troops to meet at that time." ”

Mu Tianhong frowned and said, "Isn't Long Daxia joking, who dares to mobilize troops and horses without an order?"

Long Shiqiu smiled slightly and said: "General Mu only needs to dispatch a team to accompany him when he arrives, as for the warrant of the Supreme Peak, he will not be worried about the lord of the castle." ”

At this moment, Mu Xiong, the chief manager, brought in five people from outside the hall, who were none other than the Tang Tianlong brothers of the Yuding Dart Bureau and the poor Tang Shiyao.

Long Shiqiu saw that the five of them were all blindfolded and tied backhanded, and it seemed that the acupoints were still sealed, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and took a sip of tea with an expressionless face.

He knows that the more he cares at the moment, the more he can't be in a hurry, and letting the opponent know what he thinks and what he is afraid of is the real thing.

Mu Tianhong's eyes glanced at Long Shiqiu, and he deliberately muttered, and Mu Tianwei, the third elder of the Mu family on the side, couldn't help but say: "The surname Long, the so-called words are unfounded, you don't think that the five of them can be easily exchanged back so easily, right?"

Long Shiqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what does Mu Sanye mean?"

Mu Tianwei stood up, walked to the sixth Mu Tianding and stretched out his hand, Mu Tianding took out three white pills from his arms and handed them to him.

I saw Mu Tianwei sneering a few times, walked up to Long Shiqiu and said: "These are the three 'Soul Devouring Pills' prepared by my sixth brother alone, three days later, one hand will receive the silver, and the other hand will change the antidote, as long as you eat it, we will release you immediately." ”

Long Shiqiu smiled slightly, took the "Soul Devouring Pill" and swallowed it without thinking about it, and in order to reassure the Mu family, he also specially took a sip of tea and sent it down.

"Happy, really happy!" Mu Tianwei wiped a sly smile in his eyes, stretched out his thumb and said, "I, Mu Tianwei, admire refreshing people." He turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Come on, untie the distinguished guests of the Jade Ding Dart Bureau." As he spoke, he reached out and untied the big holes on those people's bodies.

Tang Tianlong and the others' acupoints seemed to have been sealed for a long time, and after unlocking them, they were still paralyzed and weak, Long Shiqiu got up and hugged his fists when he saw this: "In this way, please wait for the good news from Lord Mubao." ”

The corners of Mu Tianhong's mouth raised slightly: "I will not send it far." ”

Long Shiqiu immediately walked out of Mujiabao with everyone from the Yuding Dart Bureau, Xiao Wensheng saw from a distance that his people were really rescued by Long Shiqiu, and hurriedly rushed to the scene in surprise.

*** ***

The warm afternoon sun of autumn sprinkled through the windowsill on Tang Shiyao's black satin-like hair.

She opened her eyes slightly, and the blurred outline in front of her gradually became clearer, and the person in front of her was Long Shiqiu.

She was not surprised, nor did she get up, although her consciousness was not very clear in Mujiabao, but the conversation between Long Shiqiu and the Mu family Qisha was still in her ears.

Two lines of hot tears dripped down the corners of his eyes and fell on the pillow, Long Shiqiu saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

The most insidious and vicious of Mujiabao is the sixth Mu Tianding, his martial arts are mediocre, but he is an expert in using poison, and all the people in the Yuding Dart Bureau are the "Dream Butterfly Fragrance" prepared by him personally, this poison is colorless and tasteless, and the person who is poisoned will immediately lose his internal strength, and his whole body is soft, like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, lost in the illusion and difficult to extricate himself.

This time, everyone in the Jade Ding Dart Bureau except Xiao Wensheng saw the power of this poison.

"Why did you leave me?" Although Tang Shiyao's voice was delicate and weak, it pierced Long Shiqiu's chest like a steel needle.

"It's okay, you can rest for a while. Long Shiqiu stood up, and just as he was about to leave, Tang Shiyao had already cried.

"Shiyao, why are you ......" Before Long Shiqiu finished speaking, Tang Shiyao's beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely: "You don't want to see me so much?"

How did she know that in the two hours she had just fallen asleep, Long Shiqiu's gaze never took off her face for a moment.

Long Shiqiu turned around and walked to her bed, Tang Shiyao stretched out her tender fingers and lightly tapped the edge of the bed, and he sat down honestly.

Tang Shiyao poked out her other jade hand from the quilt, gently grabbed Long Shiqiu's big hand with both hands, closed it in the palm of her hand and said softly: "Promise me, don't leave me again, okay?"

Long Shiqiu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded vigorously.

"I swear I'll never let anyone bully you again. The cold glint in Long Shiqiu's eyes flashed away, perhaps even he didn't realize that the murderous aura that had been sealed for many years had been awakened at this moment.

No one knows why he fights with only his fists, only he knows that once he has a blade in his hand, it will mean a bloody disaster for anyone that is difficult to escape!

The door of the room was pushed open, and Tang Tianlong and the other five brothers walked in one after another, and the eyes of the five tough guys were full of gratitude at this moment.

When Long Shiqiu swallowed the "Heart Devouring Scatter", although they were not yet conscious, they could all hear it clearly. In order to save everyone, Long Shiqiu was willing to test the poison with his body, so gracious and righteous, how could the word "thanks" be clearly expressed?

Surprisingly, Tang Tianlong and the others did not mention half a word of thanks, sometimes a glance is enough to be worth a thousand words.

Tang Tianlong walked to the bed, glanced at his daughter with concern, then patted Long Shiqiu's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Long Shiqiu, treat Yao'er well, I will hand her over to you in the future." ”
