Chapter 816: A Delicate Relationship

ps: Thank you book friend di0, chestnut fried rice, how can you do your best, but ask for the support of the monthly pass.

The cold sweat on Mu Chaobi's forehead began to fall, and he shook his head: "I don't have any substantive dealings with the old man in the mountains, I just read Yan Song's letters and bought some mansions for him in Yunnan, neither giving him weapons and armor, nor any gold and silver treasures, not to mention funding him for his misdeeds." As for the Wan Gu Sect, it is just a Jianghu sect, and they have not threatened the Ming Dynasty, even the Demon Sect that Emperor Hongwu ordered to exterminate survived in Yunnan, and even had open contacts with Yan Song and Yan Shifan's father and son. โ€

Li Cangxing shook his head: "Lord Mu, the law of the country has always been just an excuse for the emperor to kill which courtier, even if you keep Yan Song's handwritten letter, if he denies it to death and does not stamp his official seal, you can naturally push away the matter and say that it is forged and imitated by others." As for the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, don't say whether they intend to rebel, just say that they can get immortality after taking the Golden Silkworm Gu that they bragged about all day long, what the emperor wants to do most today is to cultivate immortal immortality, if you, as a courtier, know the method of eternal life but only think about it for yourself, but don't tell the emperor, isn't it disloyal to the minister? This alone will destroy your people. โ€

Mu Chaobi was stunned, and sighed for a long time: "It seems that this king is on the thief ship, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he wants to threaten Yan Song and Yan Shifan for a lifetime." So what now? โ€

Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "Now for them, you have lost your use value. They called me to come to you with the intention of stirring up a fire on us. If you kill me, then they will naturally be overjoyed, and they will not embarrass you anymore, on the other hand, if I kill you, the clue will be interrupted, and the matter of this Ten Thousand Gu Gate will not be investigated. โ€

"If they know that we have become friends and exchanged information, I am afraid that they will not let you go, for me. They have been trying to put me to death for so many years, that Wan Gu Sect Master was already harming me in Wudang twenty years ago, and he is still harming me, and Yan Shifan even dreamed of killing me because I was in the southeast and had evidence of his collaboration with the enemy and treason, so they will definitely try their best to eradicate my friend, you are a person in the official government, they can take the upper route to remove your official and seize your power. Accusing you of rebellion, so you'll have to plan it with me and avoid their eyes and ears. โ€

Mu Chaobi asked anxiously, "Is there any way to avoid their ears and eyes?" โ€

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "This." I've already figured it out! It just needs your cooperation! By the way, in addition to the four major guards, how many masters did you bring to meet you this time? โ€

Inside a tall bamboo hut in the village. The four guards stand or sit, and those who meditate close their eyes and breathe. And Bai Socheng, who was standing by the door, seemed to look at a big tree outside the door casually. However, his right ear is facing the direction of the back mountain, and he will react immediately if there is a slight disturbance.

Mu Lanxiang and Qu Caifeng were sitting cross-legged in a corner of the room, holding their breath and concentrating, their expressions were calm, although the four men and two women in the room did not say a word, but the atmosphere was extremely weird, everyone was secretly lucky, and maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Su Quan probably felt that the atmosphere was a little too dull, and snorted: "What's the matter, three brothers, we are accompanied by two beautiful women, and we still need to be so nervous, the prince seems to have a good conversation with Li Daxia, and they should have become friends, so we don't have to be so nervous with the two beauties." โ€

The corners of Liu Boren's mouth hooked: "Lao Su, before the conversation is over, there are variables in every qiฤ“, and besides, you are a lot old, do you still export so frivolously, a little bit of a senior's demeanor?" โ€

Fang Datong, who looked like a dwarf winter melon, said with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't laugh at Lao Su, we've been sitting here for so long, and we haven't said a word to the two beauties, which is not good." โ€

Liu Boren snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and continued to meditate, Bai Suocheng, who was leaning on the door, suddenly turned his head and said to Mu Lanxiang: "Mu Nuxia, I have heard for a long time that the Wudang faction's Liangyi swordsmanship overcomes rigidity with softness, and the ingenuity is endless, I don't know if I can find a chance to let the old man see it?" โ€

Mu Lanxiang opened his eyes and said with a smile: "What, the number one swordsman in Tiannan, Senior Bai also wants to see the Liangyi swordsmanship?" โ€

Su Quan laughed: "Mu Nuxia, you don't know, Lao Bai has nothing else to do in his life, he is a sword lover, he is an out-and-out sword idiot, he has already mentioned Wudang's Liangyi swordsmanship to me, saying that it is soft and rigid, using the sword circle to resolve the offensive of the sword, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, it is really a rare top swordsmanship, today the Liangyi fairy came, just to open his eyes, such an opportunity, how could Lao Bai let it go!" โ€

Mu Lanxiang felt a burst of pride in his heart, and unconsciously smiled on his face, his eyes smiled into two crooked crescents: "Okay, I have always heard of the Nineteen Swords of the Thunder of the Diancang Sect, which opens and closes, and regulates the intestines, which is the supreme skill of Megatron Tiannan, and he is also a person who uses swords, and he is also fascinated, I want to see it, I am fortunate to meet Bai Seniors today, if we have the opportunity for a while, let's have a good discussion." โ€

A hint of smugness flashed on Bai Sucheng's face, and he nodded: "Okay, it's annoying to stay here anyway, why don't we go out and compare it now." โ€

Mu Lanxiang was about to speak, but Qu Caifeng suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Senior Bai, Qu has something unclear, please give me advice." โ€

Bai Suocheng's brows furrowed slightly: "Master Qu Village, please say something." โ€

Qu Caifeng's eyes flowed: "Senior Bai, your family martial arts are not the swordsmanship of the Cang faction, why do you give up your family martial arts and don't use it, but you want to learn swords from another faction?" โ€

Bai Suocheng's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "The old man loves swords since he was a child, and when he was just born, he picked up a wooden sword, and when he was three years old, he first practiced martial arts and waved the small wooden sword to entertain himself. After winning the title of the first swordsman in Tiannan, he left the sect and returned to King Mu's Mansion to continue to serve as a guard. Master Qu Zhai, do you have any other questions? โ€

Qu Caifeng smiled slightly: "So that's the case." It's just that Qu is even more curious, you learned from the Diancang faction, why did the Diancang faction be destroyed by the Demon Sect more than ten years ago, but the old Bai seniors did not live and die with the sect? โ€

Bai Suocheng's face changed, the sect was destroyed, and his inability to do anything was the biggest shame in his life, even Liu Boren and the other three brothers did not dare to mention this matter in front of him, but he didn't expect this Qu Caifeng to point it out in front of him today. This made his old face suddenly grow long, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes, and he didn't speak, staring at Qu Caifeng fiercely.

Su Quanyi frowned and said, "Miss Qu, as the head of a faction, you should speak in a measured manner, back then, the Demon Sect was a sudden sneak attack of the Diancang faction, and most of the masters in the faction were not there. Not to mention a disciple like the White Protector who has already become a teacher, so you can't blame the White Protector for the destruction of the Cang Sect. Just like your Wushan faction has been wiped out before, not every disciple of the Wushan faction has returned to the village to go to the village. โ€

Qu Caifeng's eyes flashed coldly: "Not bad." Indeed, Qu was beyond his power and couldn't stop the tens of thousands of thieves. also involved tens of thousands of brothers and sisters to die together, this fact is the biggest regret in Qu's life. In this life, I will definitely ask for this blood debt from Yan Shifan, the thief who planned to destroy my Wushan faction. โ€

"But the white seniors don't seem to have the intention of revenge. Knowing that the master was destroyed by the Demon Sect, but you don't want to find a way to seek revenge from the Demon Sect, or in your heart, being the guard of the Mu Wangfu is the main business, and the Diancang Sect is just a place where you learn swords, and it is not worth nostalgia, is it? โ€

Bai Suocheng couldn't hold back any longer, his two white eyebrows rose upside down, and he said sharply: "What do you little girl know, how do you know that I haven't sought revenge from the Demon Sect?" โ€

Qu Caifeng laughed and shook his head: "Forgive me for being lonely, I have never heard of Tiannan swordsmen and demon sect enemies before, dare to ask which high-ranking figure of the Demon Sect you killed?" Or which Demon Sect's rudder was chosen, or was it Xiangtang? โ€

Bai Suocheng gritted his teeth: "The old man once looked for the prince and asked him to gather all the masters in the palace in the name of Mu Wangfu and declare war on the Demon Sect, but the prince weighed the pros and cons and prevented this matter, if it weren't for the old man who was the four major guards of the Mu Wangfu family and couldn't get out, the old man would have taken revenge on the Demon Sect alone. โ€

As he spoke, he raised his left hand, and Qu Caifeng and Mu Lanxiang realized at this time that the little finger of his left hand had long since disappeared, and the wound at the severed finger was smooth, obviously cut off by the sword.

Bai Suocheng said: "The old man once swore that he had broken his fingers, and he did not share the sky with the Demon Sect in this life, and after my son completed his martial arts, he could inherit my position as a guard, and the old man resigned from this guard position to seek revenge from the Demon Sect, and this truncated finger was part of my Bai Suocheng's living body, and I first went to Jiuquan to accompany my master and many fellow disciples. Qu Caifeng, if you talk about your feelings for the teacher, I will not lose to you at all! โ€

A trace of guilt flashed on Qu Caifeng's face, she originally wanted to stop the competition in this tense situation, afraid that Bai Suocheng would secretly hurt Mu Lanxiang in the name of sword competition, but she didn't expect to touch Bai Suocheng's sad past, it sounded like this Bai Suocheng swore an oath, but he was an iron-clad hero, even himself, after the Wushan faction destroyed Miรจ, would not harm himself like this.

Qu Caifeng stood up and saluted Bai Suocheng: "I'm sorry, Bai senior, I misunderstood you, Qu Mou said nothing, offended the old hero, please forgive me." โ€

Bai Suocheng replied coldly: "It's nothing, Qu Zhai Lord, you and I are both fallen people at the end of the world, we don't need to attack and hurt each other like this, from the time we entered the village, you showed strong hostility towards us, I don't know what the reason is for this, is it my lord, or have the four of us offended you Qu Zhai Master before?" Or have you been blaming my prince for taking advantage of the time when your Wushan faction destroyed the village, and took the Rolling Dragon Village and Kuhutang, which originally belonged to you in name, back to our palace? โ€

Qu Caifeng shook his head: "It's not the reason, forget it, maybe we think too much, Senior Bai, I apologize to you again, it's just that you have such a big enmity with the Demon Sect, how are you going to retaliate in the future?" โ€

Bai Suocheng laughed: "If you can kill one person, Bai Mou's single sword, even if he can't pick the entire Demon Sect, he can kill their disciples and grandchildren and countless casualties, before I die, I can always earn enough money." โ€

Fang Datong followed with a smile: "Lao Bai, our brother has been born and died for decades, you want to take revenge, brother, it is impossible for me to watch you fight alone, I will go with you when the time comes." โ€

Su Quan frowned: "Have you all forgotten the prince's order?" Now that the situation in our palace is so bad, and we still want to offend the Demon Sect, don't you want to think about the backstage of the Demon Sect is that Yan Shifan? โ€

Bai Suocheng said loudly: "So what? When I was a guard, I naturally wanted to be loyal to Mu Wangfu, but when I left this position, I had nothing to do with Mu Wangfu, but a disciple of the Diancang Sect who wanted to avenge the blood feud of the master's sect, and it would never affect Mu Wangye. โ€

Liu Boren opened his eyes and said slowly: "Lao Bai, let's take care of this matter in the future, our four major guards, for more than a hundred years, have been four people as one, advancing and retreating together, if there is no good way and plan, brother, I will not watch you make senseless sacrifices alone." โ€

After he said this, he stood up and said coldly to Qu Caifeng: "Lord Qu Zhai, this is a private matter for the guards of Mu Wangfu, I know that your Wushan faction and Yan Shifan also have a deep grudge against the Demon Sect, but one yard is one yard, even if we want to help Lao Bai avenge, we don't bother others to help, thank you for your kindness." โ€

Qu Caifeng nodded: "The juniors follow the wishes of the seniors." โ€

Mu Lanxiang frowned, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a scream coming from the cliff in the back mountain, and the faces of the six people in the house changed at the same time, and everyone could hear that this scream came from Mu Chaobi!

The six bodies were like lightning, almost exactly the same as the way they left the house last time, Bai Suocheng flew out of the gate quickly, Qu Caifeng and Mu Lanxiang followed, and Liu Boren, Fang Datong and Su Quan came out of the small windows around the three of them, and they made enough light efforts to run towards the back mountain, and above each person's body, they also raised different colors of body protection true qi in a timely manner, and the blades were all copied in their hands, and they could stop at any time and attack and defend with eighty or ninety percent of their strength.

Although Mu Lanxiang and Qu Caifeng are women, their skills are still slightly higher than those of the four major guards, and although they started two zhang slower than Bai Suocheng and seven or eight zhang slower than the other three on the mountain road, they were almost separated from the four people by more than two zhang on the mountain cliff.
