Chapter 19: Abandoned Mine Conflicts

Exhaling lightly, Mu Hao slowly walked into the crowd under the gaze of the audience, smiled faintly at Mu Ping, and returned to his original position and sat down. As Mu Hao, who had just stood there, stepped back, there was still a long silence in the field.

"Ahem..."On the high platform, the smiling man in the green robe stood up, coughed, and pulled the eyes of the audience. "I didn't expect to be able to recruit two geniuses this time. ”

"The first part of the test is over, so let's all disperse. Let's get ready for tomorrow's second part!" the blue-robed man said aloud. Hearing this, there was a slight commotion in the training ground, and then they all stood up and walked out of the square. It's just that Mu Hao is still the object of everyone's discussion, and the scene just now is really memorable.

"I will now send to receive the vein and the area which has been given to my shepherd. I also hope that Brother Du will make it convenient. Mu Ping chuckled at Du Ming.

"Yes, I will ask my Du family's housekeeper to accompany your family's personnel to take over. Du Ming, let's go with the Du family!" Du Ming nodded briskly. For the Du family, the Qianyang Sect is the emperor. The monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, not to mention that he just wants a piece of land and a mineral vein, as a vassal of the Qianyang Sect, the Xiuxian family does not dare not listen to the arrangement of the Qianyang Sect.

"Thank you for the generosity of the Du family! Fu Bo, you can lead the family members and Du Ming's housekeeper to go on a trip. When you're done, come back and report back to me. Mu Ping whispered to Mu Fu. "Yes, sir. I'll do it, then I'll go first.

"You and you, follow me. Mu Ping carefully selected four family guards to follow him to accept the bet.

The dark and dreary night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars.

The street is like a calm river, winding in the dense shadows of the trees, only the leaves rustling by the wind and rain, as if recalling the bustle and busyness of the day.

Occasionally, a fish leaped, breaking through the silence of the night, and then fell into the boundless silence.

"Steward Fu, the Du family in this Fang City has been in business for more than ten years. I also hope to give my Du family a little time to deal with it. Du Ming looked at Mu Fu and chuckled.

After a deep groan, Mu Fu said in a deep voice: "Steward Ming, it's not that I don't agree. But according to the agreement, everything in this area, including all the properties, will belong to my Mu family from now on, and I hope that the Du family will abide by the gambling contract, which is set by the lord of the royal pavilion himself. ”

"Oh, it's just that the control of this area belongs to the Mu family. My Du family's Fang Market is here, so I just need to pay my share every month. Could it be that the Mu family doesn't even give this face? This Fang City is not only the main source of income for my Du family, but also the support of this group of guards, even if my Du family agrees, I have to ask them if they agree!"

looked at the dozen or so guards behind Du Ming with murderous faces and black suits. "This Du Ming's strength is one level higher than me, reaching the sixth layer of foundation building. This group of guards is also all at the peak of the Qi refining period, and if there is a conflict, it is estimated that it will not be pleased. But if I don't take this square market, not only will I suffer a huge loss in terms of economy, but my family's reputation will also suffer a greater blow. Everyone will think that my Mufu family is a bully!" Mufu was in a dilemma for a while.

But when he thought of everything he saw when he accepted that vein, Mu Fu was angry, it was a waste mine at all, and it also solved Mu Fu's doubts about the Du family's boldness in giving up the ore vein.

Mu Fu looked at the arrogant Du Ming and the others, and his face slowly became ugly. Just when Mu Fu wanted to take people to withdraw and return to Mu Ping. The sound of horses' hooves broke the oppressive atmosphere.

At the head was a large man dressed in black chain mail, followed by a metal mask and a golden sword.

Looking at the two big characters "Du Fang" on the plaque, the leading man's hand was raised, and everyone stopped, neatly and uniformly, and the movements were like a machine, reflecting a sense of violent beauty.

"Heifu Army, what are they doing here?" The Du family guards standing at the gate of Fang City were slightly shocked when they saw this scene. ran quickly to report to Du Ming, and he didn't even care about his shoes falling off.

"What, Heifu Army!" After listening to the black-robed guard's words, Du Ming exclaimed in a low voice, and his face was no longer confident and domineering, but a kind of fear and gloom.

The Heifu Army is the government army of Linjiang City, which belongs to the City Lord's Mansion. The Black Mansion Army is the strongest of the three government armies of the white, gray and black, although there are only 200 people, not as many as the other two white and gray government armies reaching 20,000 people. However, these two hundred people are all monks who have built more than five layers of foundations, and the main and deputy military masters are even monks in the Jindan period, which is the most powerful armed force in Linjiang City, and it is also one of the biggest supports of the City Lord's Mansion.

"I don't know what happened to all the adults of the Heifu Army who came to my Du family's Fang Market?" Du Ming asked with bows to the thirty or forty people wearing black chain mail on the opposite side.

"Your Du family's Fang City, it doesn't seem to be. In order to facilitate the Mu family's takeover of the new area, my city lord's mansion will avoid unnecessary chaos. The city lord sent us to assist the Mu family, and I hope that the Du family will be more interesting. The leading big man, holding the reins in one hand and the long sword in the other, said in a deep voice.

"Unexpectedly, this Mu family not only hugged the thigh of the Medicine King Valley, but even sold a few thin noodles from the City Lord's Mansion. This matter seems to be a bit difficult to do!" Du Ming looked at the hostile Heifu Army, and finally nodded unwillingly, and said flatteringly: "Of course, my Du family will abide by the gambling contract, and I will take people away." ”

Looking at the figures of Du Ming and the others in the distance, Mu Fu thanked everyone in the Heifu Army: "Thank you, my lords! My Mu family will not forget the kindness of the City Lord's Mansion!" The leading man nodded, and after turning the mount around, he led everyone out of this "Du Fang".

"You all stay and take care of this city. I'll go back and tell my lord. After saying that, Mu Fu turned over and rode a white dragon horse and galloped down the street.

After listening to Mu Fu's story, Mu Ping nodded. The ugly face said coldly: "This Du family is really a thief." That vein has almost become a waste mine, but it can still produce five or six low-grade spirit stones per day. After the accumulation of five or six hundred gold coins over the years, it is still considerable, and you can send a few guards and family members to stay behind. As for the City Lord's Mansion, when the assessment competition is over tomorrow, prepare gifts, visit the City Lord's Mansion, and talk about my family's gratitude. ”

A faint scent of sandalwood fills his side, and flecks of fine moonlight shine through the hollowed-out carved windows. After a closer look, in the room, two old men in their sixties and seventies, an old man in a purple silk robe sat on the golden wooden Taishi chair, and an old man in a black power suit was bowing down and saying something respectfully. As the old man in the black suit spoke, the face of the old man in the purple silk robe became more and more gloomy.

"What? The Black House Army came to help the Mu family. Okay, I can't blame you for this matter, you go down first!" Du Ming listened to Du Ming's report, waved his sleeves, and Du Ming, who was frowning, didn't even notice that Du Ming had already left the room.

In an attic, a burst of rosewood wafts from time to time, quiet and beautiful. Next to the couch is the window, exquisite carving, rare wood. Outside the window, there is a beautiful scene, rockery, small pond, blue lotus root, pink water lotus. From time to time, a little maid passed by, but the footsteps were very soft, and the sound of conversation was also very soft.

An ancient woman's boudoir comes into view, the guqin stands in the corner, the bronze mirror is placed on the wooden dresser, and the room is so fresh and leisurely.

"Qingyun, grandpa has already sent the Heifu Army to help the Mu family. Listening to Deputy Army Master Bai come back and tell him that it has been dealt with, Qingyun can rest assured. Shi Shengyang, the city lord of Linjiang City, told a girl in a purple skirt kindly.

The girl in the purple dress nodded, and said softly, "Grandpa!" This Mu Hao is not simple, and this Mu family is not simple. Befriending them doesn't hurt my Shi family!"

"Oh, it's not easy? Shi Shengyang took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

"First, the Mu family took root in my Linjiang City forty years ago, and we can't even collect any information about the past. Second, according to reports, Mu Ping and Zhu Lieyang, who was one rank higher, fought evenly with family inheritance techniques and swordsmanship, and if it weren't for his strength, he was afraid that Zhu Lieyang would die at his hands. Although Zhu Lieyang was only a side branch of the Zhu family, the third largest family in the Hengtian Realm, his cultivation should not be much worse. ”

Could it be that Qingyun fell in love with Mu Hao's kid and said good things for his Mu family, but I heard that the daughter of the Medicine King Xutong was quite affectionate to him, and even gave him his own Medicine King Order. The old man in the yellow shirt touched his white beard, and looked at the girl in the purple dress with an indifferent expression and couldn't help but laugh.

The girl in the purple skirt rarely showed a trace of shyness, and finally said in a low voice: "The main reason is that his Mu family definitely has an inexplicable relationship with Hao Mutian, who once caused a sensation in the entire Central Realm and even the Immortal Cultivation Realm, just one surnamed Mu and one surnamed Hao, could it be that he changed his surname to avoid vendetta, but it is not right to calculate according to time!"

Looking at the girl with frowning eyebrows, the old man said solemnly: "Qingyun, if you are not a daughter, you will be the next head of the family." Grandpa will definitely pass it on to you. ”

"Grandpa, my brother is also very good. The girl shook the old man's arm and said softly.

"Qin'er, it's good, but it's not as careful as you, and it's not enough in terms of the overall situation, and your temperament is a little more free. Compared to you, you are more suitable to be the helmsman of a family, and soon your brother and sister will be able to meet, didn't you say that you miss your brother?"

"yes, I haven't seen my brother for three years. Last time, he became an inner disciple and went home to visit his relatives once. This Qianyang Sect is too unkind, and non-members of the sect are not allowed to enter. My brother too, I don't know how to go home to visit my family. The girl scolded softly when she heard this, but when she thought of her brother's kindness to her, the feeling of missing her relatives could not be shaken down.
