Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

The end of the year should be the most relaxing time of the year. As the season draws to a close, farmers have already idled their crops, workers and students have begun their holidays, and businessmen will be closed in a few days.In the city of Lin'an, there was a panic spreading news out of nowhere: a war was about to start.

No one knew where the news came from, but everyone rushed to tell the story as if they had seen it with their own eyes.It is said that the warlord Lin Youxian took in the adjutant of the leader of the Huizhou warlord, and also sent a hapless son of the great warlord to have sex with the brother of the newly appointed great warlord in Huizhou.Seeing that Zhejiang was ignorant of current affairs, the great warlord dared to hide those who competed with him for heavenly power, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to send troops to fight from Tianmu Mountain.Some people also said that the peasants living at the foot of Tianmu Mountain heard the sound of bullets and shells in the distance in the middle of the night these days. It must be that the Huizhou army has closed the Jieshan City.

Rumors spread like wildfire.Walking the streets and alleys, there are always a few "hundred young people who have seen the big world", fearing that the public opinion will not be exciting enough, so they add fuel to the conspiracy theories of the famous secret palaces in history on the occasion of the change of military power in Huizhou. matter.He also said that now that all provinces are surrendering to Huizhou, Jiangxi and Fujian will soon join forces with Huizhou to copy over from three sides.In addition to the circular letter sent by the unlucky son when he first arrived in Lin'an, Huizhou wanted to call, and within a few days, the people took care of themselves.The aborigines even spontaneously organized a security guard and began to look for natural air-raid shelters inside and outside the city that could shelter shell attacks.

But the two people who originally led this matter, Xue Qing and Lin Youxian, were surprised when they heard the news.But after thinking about it, this news may not be just speculation.As far as Xue Qing knew, Mu Yanqiu really cared about Mu Bingci when Mu Chengshan was there.But now that Mu Chengshan is not here, and the power of the Mu family is already in Mu Yanqiu's hands, how can he know that he will not have evil thoughts in his heart and want Mu Bingci to disappear?

If Mu Bingci was in Huizhou, it would be difficult for Mu Yanqiu to make a move.But now that Mu Bing has resigned to Zhejiang, Mu Yanqiu has used the name of rescue, not only to be famous as a teacher, but also to have a good reputation for justice.A cannon came over and blasted Mu Bingci and Zhejiang to ashes. Afterwards, he accused Xuelin of the crime and gave Mu Bingci a mourning ceremony.He also gave Mu Yanqiu a reputation in front of and behind him, and let him take all the good things by himself.And Xue Lin will only be infamous for thousands of years, even if there are no bones left, they will be poohed a few times after dinner by future generations to show their contempt for rebellious officials and thieves.

When he really thought about it, the more Xue Lin thought about it, the more reasonable he became, and he couldn't help but feel hairy.

But at this time, Southwest Chengguan came to report that Jiangxi Governor Pei Qingshuang sent two regiments to raid Huaiyushan Chengguan, forcibly breaking through the Jieshan defense line and entering Jinhua Road.Lin Youxian was startled, Jinhua's defenders were limited, so he quickly dispatched three regiments from Ouhai Road to Jinhua for defense.At this time, the Jiangxi army had already occupied several passes from the outer city into Jinhua, and Pei Qingshuang sent two more regiments to supply supplies, which meant to encircle and suppress Zhejiang.Lin Youxian had no other choice. There were only two navy regiments on the Kuaiji Road along the coast, and it was too far away from the Jinhua Crossing, so he couldn't handle it.We had to take the risk and transfer half a brigade from Qiantang Road to the Jinhua Crossing for rescue.

This day is New Year's Eve.Lin Youxian was so despondent that he wished he could put Xue Qing in the cannon barrel and fire it back towards Huizhou.Zhejiang was originally a corner of its own. Although it is hidden under the wings of Huizhou, it is not as militaristic as other provinces, but it is good to have enough food and clothing.However, this Xue Qing was restless and wanted the power in Huizhou, so he encouraged him to kidnap Mu Bing to resign from this hot trouble.Right now, other provinces are not justified in forcing Huizhou, but also provoked the flames of war for him in vain.

Naturally, Lin Youxian didn't realize that he was not greedy enough to decentralize power and gather wealth, but also narrow-minded and refused to take risks. He followed Xue Qing's adventurous method and led troops into Huizhou. He was reluctant to part with the wealth he had accumulated over the years.How could the two of them conspire with each other when they were clearly at odds.He put all this coquettishness on Xue Qing's head, wishing he could swallow Xue Qingsheng.

Xue Qing was also restless at this time.Zhejiang definitely couldn't stay any longer and had to leave immediately.People's evil thoughts are all caused by stress. If Jinhua falls, Lin Youxian can't stand the stimulation, and maybe he and Mu Bingci will be handed over in embarrassment.At that time, Mu Bingci may be unlucky, but he is bound to be unlucky, and definitely worse than Mu Bingci.But where can he escape at this time, besides, if he escapes like this, then all these years of planning will be in vain, and no one can be reconciled to it.

Xue Qing decided to take another risk.According to the previous agreement, Xiang Lin You first asked for a group of dead soldiers, and in the name of escorting Mu Bing to resign to Huizhou, he lured Mu Yanqiu to come to meet him.Xue Qing is sure that although Mu Yanqiu may have murderous intentions towards Mu Bingci, he will definitely hold back his feathers, and will not stain his face with dirty water that is against human relations and nature.As long as Mu Yanqiu gets close, the dead soldiers will immediately gather and annihilate the two brothers, and the dirty water will naturally splash on Lin Youxian.At that time, the dragons in Huizhou were leaderless, so Xue Qing took the opportunity to stand up and call on the school lieutenants to capture Zhejiang and kill Lin Youxian, a traitorous general.Then Xue Qing became king, and Lin You first defeated the bandits.

Although the calculation was good, Lin Youxian was in a mess, and because he was really petty, he refused to give Xue Qing that regiment for a while, but only wanted him to send Mu Bing to leave.Xue Qing urged him several times but did not reply, and when night fell, Lin Youxian simply closed the door and refused customers without even showing his face.

Xue Qing was furious.But this was his last move, so he had to freeze there and wait.

When it was seven o'clock at the appointed time, Mu Bingci came to find Xue Qing, and Xue Qing had no choice but to tell him about the current embarrassing situation.Mu Bing resigned, "I'll talk to General Lin."

Xue Qing waved his hands irritably: "What's the use of you going? That stingy guy is holding his old hand tightly, and asking him for a few people is like killing him! Let's wait a little longer! If it's not possible, I'll go in directly kill him!"

Mu Bing said innocently: "How can I kill him? This place is full of his soldiers, and we can't escape! We must not take this step as a last resort. Let me try it, it doesn't make sense, and then think of other ways .”

Xue Qing didn't have the heart to talk to him at all, so he waved his hand impatiently, telling Mu Bing to resign.

Mu Bingci turned around and came out of Xue Qing's house. It was already dark, and it was raining and hailstones.Mu Bingci stopped for a while outside Lin Youxian's house, with a shrewd gleam in his eyes, he wanted to step forward to break through the door.Lin Youxian had three floors of guards outside the house, and stopped him at the first door: "The general has an order, no one should disturb you."

Mu Bingci was not afraid, smiled lightly, and raised his voice: "If it's anything else, I won't bother General Lin. But if General Lin knows that I have a way to solve his urgent needs, it can not only make Jiangxi retreat, but also can To resolve the rift between Hui and Zhejiang, he will definitely meet me."

No matter how many guards there are, his duty is only to guard the gate, and the rest has nothing to do with him.Just as he was about to reject Mu Bingci, he suddenly heard Lin Youxian's voice in the room saying: "Let him in."

When Mu Bing resigned and entered the house, Lin Youxian stood at the door with his hands behind his back. He hadn't slept well for several nights and looked haggard. It seemed that even his beard was messed up.He stared at Mu Bingci and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Mu Bingci smiled slightly: "That's what you heard." Rubbing Lin Youxian's shoulders, he walked into the house, closed the door behind him, walked to the sofa against the wall and sat down on the sofa: "Why did I come to Zhejiang, Lin Youxian The general must be very clear. Xue Qing used to be by my father's side. He has some skills. It is only because he was born in a poor and humble background that his vision is only closed to the top of his head. When others plan big things, they just take a look at ten. Xue Qing Qing, on the other hand, took a look around. It would be easy to plan poorly and lead to all kinds of dangerous situations. For example, the current Jiangxi raid, did Xue Qing predict it, did he have a way to deal with it? Not at all. Then he brought me to you, Isn't it just putting you in a position where you must be defeated?"

Lin Youxian kept silent with bloodshot eyes.Mu Bingci continued: "I don't know why you agreed to join forces with Xue Qing to deal with Huizhou. Right now, Jiangxi is only taking action, and you are already overwhelmed. If Mu Yanqiu takes the opportunity to plug in a tank, you Lin'an will fall in less than half a month. Mu Yanqiu is not stupid, he is not moving now, probably just to see how strong you are. As soon as you show your weakness, Mu Yanqiu will immediately send troops to attack West Tianmu Mountain. If Shabai Que enters Qiantang Road, he will approach Lin'an five or six days later. Is General Lin going to kneel down at the city, or is he going to sacrifice himself to sacrifice to the city?"

Lin Youxian was very upset, but found that both he and Xue Qing underestimated this immature polished young marshal.Mu Bingci may not have been on the battlefield, he has never understood the sound of bullets whistling against his ears, and he has never seen the tragic scene of fragmented and broken limbs everywhere, but this does not prevent him from analyzing and grasping the various elements of war.

Lin Youxian said: "What can you do to get me out of the current predicament? Don't forget that you are still like a stray dog. I want to throw you out here, but in Huizhou, maybe I want to kill you .”

Mu Bingci sneered, but he was not angry: "Don't blame me for calling you stupid. My lost dog is also the best bargaining chip, but you don't know how to use it. First of all, you can't kill me. Because killing me is for Mu Yan. Qiu’s pretext for going to war has fulfilled his reputation of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. I don’t need to say more about this, right? Second, you have to think about how your current predicament was caused and who caused it? You just need to act on the right , get rid of the culprit who caused you trouble."

Lin Youxian was taken aback: "You mean Xue Qing? You want me to get rid of Xue Qing?"

Mu Bingci nodded: "Yes. If it weren't for Xue Qing's greed for power and short-sightedness, he thought that if he controlled me, he could turn the clouds and rains upside down. However, the facts were beyond his expectations, and he didn't even have a second-hand plan. He just procrastinated You are trapped in this situation. General Lin is an honest man, so don’t think about it. You asked Xue Qing to get rid of me. Of course, this will allow you to protect yourself temporarily. But one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so what is it for you to keep Xue Qing? From now on, in Lin'an City, will you, General Lin, or Xue Qing have the final say? Wouldn't General Lin think that since Xue Qing has nowhere to go, if you lure wolves into the house in Lin'an, he won't have any ideas about the military power in your hands? ?"

After saying this, Lin Youxian suddenly remembered how wary he was of Xue Qingqi a while ago.What Mu Bingci said was right, Xue Qing only has profit in his heart, he is the kind of guy who can draw a gun and kill someone for a piece of meat at any time.Immediately, he hesitated in his heart.

Mu Bingci smiled and said, "Don't go against Huizhou with all your efforts. When you get rid of Xue Qing, send me back to Huizhou, admit your mistake to Mu Yanqiu, and express your willingness to continue to follow Huizhou. I'm sure In order to survive, I don’t need to deny this. But what loss do you have? Originally, Zhejiang is located in the corner, and you live in style sitting on a city, so why bother to risk your life for another to be attacked everywhere? The Jiangxi army invaded, and your soldiers in Zhejiang are not prosperous. If you fight for a long time, you may lose a lot. If I return to Huizhou, Mu Yanqiu will definitely stop the Jiangxi army from attacking, and your crisis will be solved. On the balance of the two, Lin Don't the general think that I am much more useful than Xue Qing?"

Since he settled down in Lin'an, Mu Yang got close to the servants in Lin Youxian's mansion in private, gave them a little money, and got a lot of gossip from them.Because Mu Bingci first came to Lin'an, Xue Lin and Xue Lin personally praised him as "Young Marshal", and the servants knew little about the secret intentions of the two men, so they thought that Mu Bingci was really Lin Youxian's immediate boss.

Thanks to these blunders, Mu Bingci is sure that Lin Youxian is not only short-sighted, but also willing to enjoy life and extremely stingy.Previously, he probably thought that Xue Qing's plan to seek power was very safe, so he dared to put greed in his head and lust.Seeing now that Xue Qing not only failed to bring him any benefits, but also caused him trouble, threatening him to lose his current power and wealth, wouldn't that kill him?The alliance between him and Xue Qing was originally not considered a solid wall, Mu Bingci tried his best to pry the corner of his wall from the perspective of his interests, but he didn't believe that the two of them would not fall apart.

Lin Youxian was silent for a while.Mu Bingci was not in a hurry, he stretched out his hand to pour a glass of water, and blew gently.The glass of water was not yet cold, and Lin Youxian said in a deep voice, "Okay. I will cooperate with you."

Mu Bingci smiled and put down the water glass: "General Lin is a smart man."

Xue Qing was restless in the room. Seeing that the night was getting dark, Mu Bing had quit his job for a long time and hadn't come back. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.After much deliberation, he decided to go to Lin Youxian to have a look at the situation.However, he only opened the door with two hands, and suddenly dozens of soldiers rushed up from the stairs, the leader of which was Lin Youxian's Lieutenant Colonel Gu Shaoting.Xue Qing didn't know what was going on, but he had a hunch that something was wrong, so he hurried back into the room and slammed the door, rushed to the bed and touched the gun.However, Gu Shaoting went up and kicked it away. Xue Qing just touched the pillow with a gun in the back of his head.

Xue Qing was startled and angry, and shouted: "Where is Lin Youxian? I want to see Lin Youxian!"

Gu Shaoting waved his hand, and two people came up behind him, tied up Xue Qing, and gagged his mouth with a cloth towel.Just dragged it down.

In the second half of the night, the rain poured down, and the only sound between the sky and the earth was the sound of rain.

Lin Youxian took Mu Bingci to the large conference hall on the second floor, and all the lieutenant-level non-commissioned officers under him led troops to the Jinhua crossing to resist the Jiangxi army. There were only three school-level non-commissioned officers in the mansion, and Gu Shaoting was one of them.

After everyone came up, Lin Youxian resigned to Mu Bing: "The Jiangxi army is fierce at the moment, I really don't want to fight with them, and waste my troops in vain. If Mr. Mu gets tired of staying with me, why don't you go home early. I will send A school officer will escort you back with an escort."

Mu Bingci sat at the head of the long table, propped his chin in one hand, and yawned lazily: "I want to go back to Huizhou. But even though I'm the son of Mufu, my family property has been robbed by Mu Yanqiu." Gone. Going back empty-handed like this is really embarrassing."

Lin Youxian frowned: "Then what do you want to take back?"

Mu Bingci smiled and said: "With the title of a young commander. You can't be a polished commander. I think Zhejiang is pretty good. I need to trouble General Lin to move a place and give Zhejiang to me."

Lin Youxian suffered from a headache all night. When he heard this, he became furious and slapped the table, "How dare you play tricks on me? I think you are impatient! Tie me up!"

The three of Gu Shaoting drew out their guns in unison, the bullets were loaded, and the three guns were aimed directly at Lin Youxian.Lin Youxian was astonished, and reached out to touch the gun on his belt. Gu Shaoting fired first, and the bullet pierced Lin Youxian's arm, causing him to fall into the chair.

Lin Youxian couldn't believe it: "You guys!"

Mu Bingci sneered: "I heard that General Lin has a special hobby, like prostitutes. General Lin often said that brothers are like brothers and women are like clothes. You treat other people's wives and daughters as goods, but to them, that It's also their face and dignity. General Lin probably doesn't even know how many wives and daughters he has robbed, these officers and soldiers who are stepped on by you every day, hate you so much in their hearts."

Lin Youxian's face turned pale.One is caused by blood loss, and the other is too shocked.The inferiors dare not speak out when they are angry. If these grievances are not guided by external forces, they will only whirl and suppress in their hearts.But if they feel that they have a bright future, their grievances will explode even more, swallowing up the places where they have accumulated grievances.

Lin Youxian stared at Mu Bingci with eyes wide open: "I underestimate you—"

Mu Bingci chuckled: "Everyone's desires are the same. Either fame, or profit, or career success, or confidante. If someone can make them get everything and be respected, who would be willing to live in those messy lives? My son? General Lin, I don’t want to kill you, but I don’t care if they want to or not. There will be no date.”

The three of Gu Shaoting looked at Lin Youxian with complicated expressions, someone shouted: "Come here", and the soldiers from the outer sect came in immediately, swarming towards Lin Youxian.

Mu Bingci stood up and walked out, walked all the way down the stairs to the downstairs hall, went out and walked all the way to the outside of the porch.The cold rain hit his face and body, and he felt relaxed, as if his soul had returned to his body.What happened tonight was risky, if there was any mistake, as long as one of those people repented halfway, he would pay the price with his life.
