Chapter 1000: Refusal
Murong Fu's mind turned, and he didn't know why she had changed this way, but his face was silent, and he said to Mu Jiansheng, "I didn't expect that Little Master Mu was also here, this is a coincidence." ”
Mu Jiansheng shook his head and smiled, and said in a low voice, "It's not a coincidence, seventy or eighty percent of the people who participated in the conference that day arrived here. ”
Murong Fu immediately understood what he meant, his eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't say anything.
The purpose of the influx of many martial arts people into Shanhaiguan is self-evident, which is nothing more than the assassination of Wu Sangui.
Murong Fu was noncommittal about this, he had no intention of helping, nor did he mean to stop it, and he looked like he was completely out of the way.
This is also because he is sure that it is impossible for everyone to succeed in assassinating Wu Sangui, think about the fact that since Wu Sangui betrayed the Ming Dynasty, countless people have broken into the palace every year to assassinate him, but now that decades have passed, Wu Sangui is still alive and well, how can he succeed with these rabble.
Of course, if a peerless master like A Qing makes a move, it will be a different matter, judging from the current situation, it is in Murong Fu's interests that Wu Sangui is alive.
At the moment, Murong Fu wondered how Fang Yi was here, could it be that she had already left Shenlong Island and returned to Mu Wang's Mansion, but he didn't know where Mu Jianping was now......
Thinking so in his heart, Murong Fu casually exchanged a few words with Mu Jiansheng, and after a while, it was finally Murong Fu's turn to enter the city.
"Little grandfather, don't leave it at that. Murong Fu greeted him, took Shuang'er to the city with his head, and glanced at Fang Yi with an inexplicable expression before leaving.
As one of the few urn cities in Shanhaiguan, Xiluo City is only second to its majesty, the most important thing is that this city is very lively, inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people.
Originally, the role of the urn city was to gather a large army, increase defenses, and protect the inner city, but the urn city in this Shanhaiguan has become a place where ordinary people live, so the locals call it "Xiluo City" or "Outer City", and the title "Urn City" is rarely used.
There is no doubt that this is the result of Wu Sangui's painstaking operation for many years, as a prince who has no fiefdom and food, he can only rely on this method to obtain soldiers, the effect may be unsatisfactory, but it is a good way.
After so many years, counting the eastern, southern Luo and inner cities, its accumulated population must be no less than one million, and this base number is more than enough to support an army of 100,000, of course, if Wu Sangui and Kangxi go to war, this number is far from enough, but who knows if Wu Sangui has any other backers?
People come and go on the street, shouting and selling, and it is a thriving scene.
Murong Fu walked aimlessly, while thinking about how much strength Wu Sangui had accumulated over the years.
On the surface, Shanhaiguan has 100,000 standing ironclad troops, and there are still 3,000 elite black cavalry troops, but in fact, Wu Sangui has been showing weakness to the Qing court for many years, and the forces in the secret are definitely more than that.
"Brother Murong, Brother Murong?" Murong Fu was thinking about it, when suddenly someone called him behind him.
Murong Fu looked back, but he was stunned, the person who came was Mu Jiansheng and his party.
"It turned out to be Grandpa Mu, is there something wrong?"
"Uh, that's the case, I want to talk to Brother Murong about something next, I don't know if I can take a step to speak?" Mu Jiansheng hesitated and said in a low voice.
Murong Fu glanced at Fang Yi without a trace, and nodded slightly, "It's okay, little grandfather, please lead the way." ”
"That's very good. ”
Then the group was led by Mu Jiansheng and came to a remote alley, and there was only one family in the entire alley, which was a small courtyard.
Murong Fu glanced around and looked at Mu Jiansheng suspiciously.
Mu Jiansheng also said that he was suspicious, and hurriedly explained, "Brother Murong, don't worry, this is one of the strongholds of Mu Wangfu, and it is absolutely safe. ”
Hearing this, Murong Fu was quite surprised, there was a stronghold of Mu Wangfu here, you must know that the entire Shanhaiguan is operated into an iron bucket, and the forces outside can't intervene at all, even if the nail is pressed, it is under the surveillance of the Pingxi Palace, and it is difficult to do anything at all.
So Murong Fu asked the doubts in his heart.
Mu Jiansheng sighed gloomily and said, "Brother Murong doesn't know, when the Ming Dynasty was still there, my Mu Wangfu also had a place in Shanhaiguan, but it's a pity that after so many years, Wu Sangui has cleared out all other forces, and only the stronghold here is still intact." ”
"I see, your mansion has been able to deal with Wu Sangui for so many years, which shows that the background is not shallow. ”
"Alas, that's all in the past, and now Muwang's Mansion is in the wane......"
While talking, the group entered the small courtyard, and there were two young men in the courtyard, who were the two brothers Su Cheng and Su Ming that Murong Fu had met in Yanshan Town a few days ago.
The two of them were also taken aback when they saw Murong Fu, but they immediately stepped forward to salute Mu Jiansheng.
Entering the hall, the guest and the host sat down, and Murong Fu asked straight to the point, "The little grandfather invited me to come, there is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Mu Jiansheng hesitated, turned aside Brother Su Cheng, and asked with a slightly uncomfortable expression, "I heard from Sister She, Brother Murong and her are in love, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Do you know Ping'er's whereabouts?"
Mu Jiansheng saw that he was in such a hurry, and his face was slightly happy, "It's really okay to say that!"
Murong Fuden realized that he was out of shape, hurriedly restrained his expression, and said lightly, "Sister Ling is lively and cute, I have a good relationship with her, but it is not what the little grandfather said." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Jiansheng's face changed, Liu Dahong's face sank, and he said coldly, "What kind of is that? Can you make a daughter's family say that kind of thing, do you still want to quibble? The old man still thinks that you are a good person, but I didn't expect that you have no responsibility at all." ”
The reason why Murong Fu didn't want to show his relationship with Mu Jianping was because Mu Jiansheng looked like he had something to ask him for, it was not a trivial matter, he really liked Mu Jianping very much, and he would never let go of this woman, but he would not agree to some excessive requests from Mu Wangfu because of this.
Thinking of this, Murong Fu's expression remained unchanged at all, and he said indifferently, "Old man Liu, I don't understand much about this, it's true that I am friends with the little county lord, but that is also because I saved her, but if you say that the two are happy, this is something that is not related." ”
Liu Dahong was furious and was about to scold, but Mu Jiansheng stopped him with his eyes in time, and said first, "I see, it's abrupt." ”
He didn't have much contact with Murong Fu, but what he saw and heard at the turtle killing conference a few days ago, he had a certain understanding of Murong Fu, where did he dare to let Liu Dahong anger him.
Fang Yi had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, and when she heard Murong Fu denying the relationship with Mu Jianping, she didn't know what she thought, her face turned slightly pale, and a little despair flashed in her eyes.
As for Shuang'er, everything is mainly with Murong Fu, although his heart is a little sour, but he gets used to it after seeing a lot, and he doesn't think much about it.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward.
Murong Fu got up and arched his hand, "Since the little grandfather has nothing else to do, then I will leave here." ”
"Wait a minute, Brother Murong," Mu Jiansheng hurriedly stopped him, hesitated and said, "Can you ask Brother Murong to do me a favor in Mu Wangfu for the sake of my sister's face?"
"Do you think you don't say it?" Murong Fu muttered in his heart, with a puzzled expression on his face, "What's the hurry?"
"That's the case, this time many forces are participating in the grand event, and they are united to get rid of the big traitor Wu Sangui, and my Mu Wangfu will naturally not be left behind, but now that there is a lack of manpower in the house, can I ask Brother Murong to help one or two?"
Mu Jiansheng said what he thought in his heart in one breath, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Murong Fu with burning eyes, full of anticipation.
"Please ask me to kill Wu Sangui?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, although he had been a little surprised, but he was still very surprised to hear him say it.
Now so many forces are rushing to infiltrate Shanhaiguan in order to assassinate Wu Sangui, but what does Mu Wangfu mean by asking him to take action? If he kills Wu Sangui, it will be considered his Murong Fu killing, or is it Mu Wangfu killing?
Murong Fu's eyes flickered slightly, thinking about the true intention of Mu Wangfu, who was probably more than that, and then he glanced at Mu Jiansheng with a smile, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this request!"
"Why? Brother Murong doesn't want to kill that big traitor?" asked Mu Jiansheng puzzled.
Although his request sounded like he wanted to use Murong Fu's hand to earn fame for Mu Wangfu, he didn't think that Murong Fu alone could do this, others didn't know, but Mu Wangfu was well aware of Wu Sangui's cunning, and hundreds of people would assassinate Wu Sangui every year, but none of them could succeed.
Murong Fu smiled disapprovingly, "Whether you want to kill him or not depends on your mood, but at present, there are other important things to do, and I have no time to take care of him, so I can only refuse the kindness of the little grandfather." ”
"As long as you promise to help Mu Wangfu, you will be in charge and give Ping'er to you. Mu Jiansheng gritted his teeth and took out what he thought was a killer weapon.
Murong Fu's face sank suddenly, and he said coldly, "Mu Jiansheng, Ping'er is a person, but it is not a tool for you to exchange for fame, if Mu Wangfu is reduced to the point where you need to rely on a woman to do things, hmph, then there is no meaning in existing." ”
After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone's sluggish expressions and pulled Shuang'er out of the hall.
Mu Jiansheng looked at the backs of the two in a daze, his face complicated.
"Xianggong, I'm ......" Leaving the small courtyard, Shuang'er followed behind Murong Fu step by step, twisting his hands together, wanting to speak and stopping.
"What's wrong?" asked Murong Fuwen in a warm voice.
"I ...... I have a question for you. Shuang'er said in a hurry, staring at Murong Fu's face cautiously, "But I'm afraid that you will be angry." ”
Murong Fu smiled slightly, "If you have any questions, just ask, how can Xianggong be angry with you." ”
Shuang'er nodded and hesitated, "If, I mean, one day, the third young grandmother wants you to do something for Shuang'er's sake, will you agree?"
Murong Fu was stunned, he didn't expect Shuang'er to ask such a question.
