Chapter 308: Surrendered City Lord

"When Zhuge Gong was in the middle of the cultivation, he knew the general trend of the world, but he was indifferent to fame and fortune and did not seek to be heard. It wasn't until Uncle Liu Huang looked at the thatched cottage three times and had the conditions to realize his ideals that he happily went out of the mountain and took the benefits of Jing. When Zhuge Gong died, there was no silk left inside, and there was no money outside. It can be called the first important minister in Zhongxia to disclose his property. For the government, he comforted the people, showed rituals, was open-minded, preached justice, and exhorted Ming with a calm heart, until decades later Huan Wen entered Shu, so the old officials thought that no one could match Liang Gong after he went. ”

"As for the momentary achievements, the time, the location, the people, and all kinds of factors will be due to fate, far from being able to be reversed by the power of one person, purely in terms of territory, Han Gaozu is not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty is not as good as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, isn't it ridiculous. ”

Mu Renfeng smiled dumbly: "Zhuge Liang is indeed a masterpiece of the world, but Chen Shou's "Book of Shu" commented that he 'governs Rong for the long, the strategy is short, and the work of the people is better than the general'. It is an unavoidable fact that Shu Han is poor and weak. You're too much of a pusher. ”

"This is just a fallacy that does not know the root cause. Ming Qin said disapprovingly: "Rong Xing affairs, naturally based on the governance of Rong, supplemented by conspiracy, the country's major policies, since the people-oriented, will be slightly secondary, if you don't know the importance of the light, upside down, it is just a member of the army or a general." Zhuge Gongbing even his old opponent Sima Yi sighed that he was a genius in the world, and he was entrusted by Zhaolie to be lonely, the king was repeatedly prosperous, and the world was shaken, how could he take risks and take a desperate gamble?"

"At the end of the troubled times, Zhongzhou Bandang, there is always no shortage of people like Cao Mengde, such as the Southern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties, the reason why the country is not long is because it is difficult to gather one day by deception. There are several kinds of people who are difficult to be afraid of deceit, one is more deeply deceitful, such as Sima Yi, one is self-controlled, and the other is self-controlled, such as Sun Quan, and the other is lofty and incompatible, such as Zhuge Gong. Sima's talent is slightly or inferior to Cao Cao, but the unruly has become ferocious and tyrannical, and the survival and extinction are harsh and stealing, and they do not want to forge ahead, so Wu and Shu will not be able to fight each other. ”

As he spoke, the butler led a grim-looking young man to push the door in. Mu Renfeng opened his mouth to speak, his eyes turned to the man, and he unconsciously got up from his seat, and quickly greeted him: "the son." Why are you here?"

The young man wore a beige uniform, high leather boots under his feet, and white gloves, and his demeanor was elegant and cold, and he coughed lightly: "I heard that Qing is very sick. I had just returned to Yujing in the afternoon, and I couldn't take the liberty of coming to see her. ”

"boy, please take a seat. ”

Mu Renfeng quickly put away the cards on the table, and while entertaining the young man surnamed Cao, he ordered: "Butler, you go and spread the word, and you will say that the son of Cao Xing is here." Chunxiang, hurry up to the tea. ”

The surname Cao is rare, and it is easy to think of Cao Junda, the Kuijun who is in the Kuiri Building in Qiyao Mansion, and then look at Mu Renfeng's slightly restrained attitude. The identity of the conduct is about to come out.

Mu Renfeng sat down on the leather chair with Cao Xing, and the people of the Zhu family stood up in obscurity, and they didn't dare to speak loudly with Zhu Zifeng's fierceness.

"Childe, please have tea. Chunxiang saluted a cup of fragrant tea and bowed back.

Mu Renfeng took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, and said politely: "Come, the son." ”

There were many female guests on the table just now, and it was inconvenient for him to take out a cigarette in order to maintain his demeanor, and now that he has become the host and guest, it is very necessary.

"Thank you. ”

Politely took the cigarette roll, Mu Renfeng hurriedly raised the 'flint' again, only to hear the snap, and the flames ignited the tobacco leaves.

"boy, you shouldn't plan to leave when you return to Beijing this time, right?"

Mu Renfeng knew that he was serving beside the lord of Dunhuang in the west. But the threat from the West to the country of Da Mo is not serious.

Cao Xing said indifferently: "We still have to wait for the appointment of Qiyao Mansion and the arrangement of Kuijun." ”

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps upstairs, and Mu Renlong accompanied a smartly dressed middle-aged man to talk in a low voice, followed by Mrs. Mu Hailan and a bewitching girl.

"Brother Mu, sister-in-law. ”

Conduct the whole clothes and stand up to greet each other. "I want to see it. ”

Mu Renlong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "the boy is really a rare guest." Where there is neglect, I hope to forgive it. Qingjue has had a slight illness recently, and I'm afraid I'm already asleep at this time. Chunxiang, you go and see if the young lady is resting, just say that the eldest son is here. ”

"Yes. Haruka agreed. Hurry upstairs to say goodbye.

"Grand Prince, please be seated. Mu Renlong smiled and introduced the strange couple around him, "This is the industrialist Zhang Gaolin, and this is his wife, Ms. Jiang Cailian." ”

Zhang Gaolin stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "Contemptible Zhang Gaolin, as the proprietor of Longmen Qianzhuang, it is really a blessing to meet the eldest son today." ”

"Fortunately. Conduct frowned slightly, and nodded reluctantly.

Everyone sat down one after another, and after being polite to each other for a long time, they saw Chunxiang running over in a hurry, and replied: "Miss said that her body is sleepy and has rested." I'm sorry I can't meet my son. ”

Mu Renlong smiled apologetically: "The sister is arrogant and doesn't know etiquette, I, the elder brother, is really bad at discipline, don't be surprised by the son." ”

"Where. Cao Xing sighed, got up and said: "It's a certain Cao who is broad, I don't know how to change the power, and it is no wonder that the master is inconvenient to visit at this time." Sit slowly, and take your leave. ”

"It's a ......"

Mu Renlong smiled slightly bitterly and hurriedly stood up to send him off. There was a look of shame and anxiety on his face, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Kuijun Cao Junda has four sons, most of whom have already started a family, and it is unknown who will inherit Dabao in the future. Although he is the eldest son, he is not very favored, he and Mu Qingjue have known each other for many years and are very admiring, but he is more than ten years older, and he already has a wife and children, so the Mu family naturally does not consider it.

Rushing to the Mu family at this time inevitably gave others the illusion that he was too secretive, and the Mu family brothers wished they could send him away as soon as possible.

Just sent to the door, I saw an ironclad fairy car violently turned into the village gate, stopped for a while, and walked a middle-aged man in a black military uniform, with thick eyebrows and straight nose, full of majesty, although the sideburns have been white, the waist board is straight, holding a deer antler bamboo cane in his hand, followed by two sharp-eyed guards.

"Ouch, City Lord Tan, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"

When Mu Renlong saw it, he was immediately surprised and delighted, and he threw away his conduct and walked down the steps quickly to salute him.

The middle-aged man is the surrendered city lord in the 'Twelfth Floor Five Cities', and his weight is no worse than Mu Kunqian's.

Tan Dingyuan arched his hand and said: "Uncle Mu, Tan is uninvited, the old man won't be surprised." ”

"Where, where. Lord Tan is a rare guest and a distinguished guest. Mu Renlong said humbly: "When I visited late at night, the humble house was really shining." ”

Tan Dingyuan sighed and explained, "Don't hide it, I'm here to visit Sister Ling." I heard that the Heavenly Maiden Gate was attacked by the Divine Light Sect, I don't know what happened to the little girl?"

"This ......"

Mu Renlong was stunned, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, only then did he remember that Mu Qingjue's eldest apprentice was Tan Dingyuan's only daughter Tan Ningzi, in case there were three long and two short, Tan Dingyuan's temper would not disturb the Mu family's chickens and dogs.

As soon as he heard that Tan Dingyuan was also running for Mu Qingjue, his footsteps were slow and hopeful again.

"City Lord Tan, you sit down for a while, let me show my father, and then talk in detail. ”

Mu Renlong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart was uneasy, and he couldn't help but panic with his eight-sided exquisiteness.

"No need. Tan Dingyuan waved his hand and said: "It's too late to disturb the old man, just call Ling Mei out, and I'll ask the whereabouts of the little girl." ”

Mu Renlong said helplessly: "Chunxiang, if you go to tell Miss again, you will say that the surrendered city lord Tan Zongbing is here, please come down and see her." ”

When everyone heard that this person in front of them was one of the famous five city lords, they were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Mu Renlong smiled dryly: "Chief Tan, here's the thing. What kind of monster did the Shenguang Sect recruit, and launched a surprise attack on the Heavenly Maiden Gate, and it would make the poison trick, and the sister was caught off guard and fought with the monster, and it was also a wounded soul, and it is still difficult to recover. As for Miss Tan, who happened to be not in the door at the time, she must have been safe. ”

Tan Dingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did the little girl contact Master Mu afterwards?"

"This ...... Miss Tan didn't know that her sister had returned to Yujing. Mu Renlong said in a flash.

"Ridiculous. Tan Dingyuan narrowed his eyes and said: "She is a dignified leader, she left the foundation of the sect and hid in her own house to recuperate. I don't know if my disciples are dead or alive, so what face do they have to live in the world?"

Mu Renfeng was unhappy, and couldn't help but shout for Mu Qingjue: "Chief Tan Bing, you can't say that. We eliminated the strange poison in our bodies and frustrated the monsters, and both were defeated. The Heavenly Maiden Sect is not as powerful as the Divine Light Sect, and the opponent has been planning for a long time, and Qingjie is already doing her best, so why not go back to Yujing to recuperate from her injuries, besides, there are no eyes on the battlefield, who is dead and who is injured is not what we want, but it is also difficult to avoid. Since you sent Miss Tan out to learn the Tao, if there is a right or wrong, you have to blame yourself for not being good at learning. ”

"Fart. Tan Dingyuan was furious, and he raised his bamboo cane to chase after Mu Renfeng, "If my Zi'er has three long and two short, you don't want to sit back and relax." ”

Mu Renfeng was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped to the back of Pi Sit, and said with a forced smile: "Chief Tan Bing, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, this is not a place for you to come from." ”

Mu Renlong hurriedly persuaded: "My second brother is open-mouthed, General Tan must not be like him." Miss Tan's cultivation is not bad, she is smart and clever, and she is auspicious, how can the rabble of the Divine Light Sect harm her?"

"It turns out that this person is Senior Sister Tan's father. "Ming Qin watched coldly, and had already speculated on the reason for the ** inseparable, and said in his heart that Tan Ningzi would be hiding on me now, if Tan Dingyuan saw her half-dead appearance, he still didn't know how to be angry with the Mu family?

Tan Dingyuan snorted coldly twice, and he didn't say anything, he sensed from the demeanor of the Mu family brothers that Tan Ningzi was definitely more than lucky, and his heart was so resentful that he almost cried. (To be continued.) )
