king array

Yuan Xi is not in Beijing all the year round, unless it is a major event that can affect the court, or is a big person who the Yuan family intends to entrust to monitor, he can still know what he knows, and he knows very little about other trivial matters in the capital, which is far inferior to those left behind. The servant is well informed.

Because the gatekeeper had been reprimanded earlier, he was trying to please Yuan Xi at this moment, standing in the hall and looking at Yuan Xi obsequiously, with the words "Knowing everything without saying anything" stuck in every crease on his face.

"Young Master, if you ask where the family surnamed Mu came from, do you remember that there was a young talent surnamed Mu in Jingzhou more than ten years ago?"

More than ten years ago, Yuan Xi was just a kid playing in the mud and catching crickets. If it was some other celebrity, he might not know it, but if it was Jingzhou, he would still have the surname Mu...

Yuan Xi's expression changed immediately, "Is that Mu Yin, the guest of Zhennan General's Mansion?"

Hearing what Yuan Xi said, the gatekeeper suddenly nervously looked around the room where there were only two masters and servants, as if he was afraid that someone would stick to the wall of their house, and reminded anxiously: "Second son, be careful!"

There is no such thing as Zhennan General in this world, there is only a sinner who colluded with the formation master and attempted to rebel and usurp the throne!

However, no matter how vigilant the gatekeeper was, he did not expect that there was indeed an ear on the partition wall outside.

Ling Xun boredly took a piece of weed in his mouth, sat against the wall, heard these words clearly, unexpectedly curled the corners of his lips.

Zhennan General's Mansion... Looking at it now, it is such a long and strange name. I don't know whether it was because I was too young at that time, or I deliberately wanted to forget that bloody memory. All personnel matters related to the General's Mansion became blurred in his mind. For example, this guest with the surname of Mu, even Yuan Xi had heard of it, but he didn't have any pitiful impressions left.

Yuan Xi didn't take the warning of the gatekeeper seriously.First of all, this matter is an old case now, and the previous emperor died, so it is no longer the situation where the emperor's eyes and ears were both inside and outside the capital, and second, with the current strength of the Yuan family, there is no need to be taboo about these things.

General Ling was framed and died in vain by Qin Chao, the constant servant of the Central Committee. Everyone in the world knew about it, but everyone knew it well and dared to be angry but dared not speak out.Especially Yuan Xi, whose father has served as the governor of Jingzhou in recent years, knows how much the local people of Jingzhou respect and support the Ling clan.

"I heard that Mu Yin died of illness when he had an accident in the General's Mansion. Is it just a rumor?" Yuan Xi asked.

"It's not just a rumor. Mr. Mu did die, but he left behind a son. The current owner of this house is Mr. Mu. I heard that Mr. Mu had the honor to pay homage to Nanhuai after his accident in the Zhennan General's mansion. Zi's ​​disciples, and later traveled all over the world, so he can't live up to his father's name, this time he came to Beijing, I'm afraid he's leaving his teacher to find his master!"

Now that the imperial power is in decline, there are many powerful families, and there will be some retainers in the mansions of the rich and powerful families.A guest is a guest, even if the host has committed the crime of treason, as long as he has real talents and is willing to submit, he can find a new host who is willing to take him in.Therefore, although Mr. Mu's son has some connections with the Jingzhou Ling family, there is no need to be afraid of being held accountable.

After hearing what the gatekeeper said, Yuan Xi already thought about it, so he would inevitably think a little more.

With such a talent and reputation, Mr. Mu moved his mansion near the Yuan Mansion as soon as he entered Beijing, and now he directly ordered someone to send a good prescription to show his favor. Could it be that he has the intention of defecting to the Yuan family?

Yuan Xi quickly made a decision, no matter what, he would meet the newly promoted Mr. Mu for a while to see if he was really a rare product that could live in Crouching Dragon, Hidden Abyss, or a mediocre person who would only use the guise of a talent to find a big buyer. He hurriedly ordered someone to fetch paper and ink, wrote down the greeting card himself, and ordered someone to send it to Mu's residence.

Ling Xun had almost eavesdropped, and when Yuan Xi was writing his greeting card, he was about to sneak back into the inner room without making a sound, but when he was passing through a corridor, a long-haired head suddenly hung upside down from the corridor, scaring him. Almost made him incontinent.

"Master Feng." Fang Jue held the sword in his arms and stared at Ling Xun expressionlessly.

After all, it is also the noble family of the fourth generation and the third father, so he broke in so casually, and it would be hard to explain it to others. Ling Xun picked up such a little conscience that had been thrown into the corner, waved his hand quietly, and told Fang Jue to come down quickly. Don't pretend to be a dead ghost like this, and scare the little girl when a maid passes by later.

Fang Jue jumped down lightly as he said, and turned somersaults in mid-air, landing without even a sound.

"Master Feng, the family members are very worried. Shopkeeper Yue asked you when you will go back, and if you need our people to pick you up..." Fang Jue had only spoken halfway, and then the card master stopped moving, and his eyes were fixed on Ling Xun's quilt. The knees were so fat that they knelt down and took a closer look, "Master Feng, are your legs injured?"

Fang Jue usually gave people the impression that someone owed him tens of thousands of pennies, but now seeing Ling Xun's leg injury, the amount owed seemed to have doubled in an instant.

"It's okay, you came just in time, I still have something to tell you." Ling Xun endured the pain of the wound, tried to pretend to be a complete person, dragged Fang Jue from the ground, and let him go back to the house with him say.

In fact, Ling Xun was in a hurry to return to Yizhou, mainly because he was worried that his identity as a formation master would be revealed, that he would be missed by that old thief Qin Chao, and that he would take revenge on the people in Jinxiu Building later, so he wanted someone to inform Yizhou and other prefectures and counties of Jinxiu Building Semicolon, close the business and close the business as soon as possible. In addition, their secret business must be dealt with as soon as possible, and new orders must not be accepted.

But Ling Xun had just started talking about these arrangements, Fang Jue interrupted him, lowered his voice and said: "Master Feng, the Liangzhou mutiny has occurred, and the garrison general Chen Bing has assembled a team of formation masters, who have broken countless cities. Approaching the land of the capital, I am afraid that it will not be long before the soldiers will come to the city, and the capital will definitely become a place of right and wrong, shopkeeper Yue wants you to make early plans and leave as soon as possible."

Ling Xun was startled, "What? Then why didn't you hear any wind from the capital?"

"The news that came out was false, and I don't know what method Chen Bing used to convince the court that the uprising was just a small group of rebels, so as to confuse the public and relax their vigilance. If it weren't for our people to transport the goods I ran into Chen Bing's Qingqi by chance on the road, so I'm afraid it's hard to find out the real news."

When Ling Xun heard that his men had bumped into the rebel light cavalry, his expression was slightly condensed: "Are there any casualties?"

Since it is a secret army, if you meet the people on the way, you will be silenced.

"Two people were seriously injured. It just so happened that there was a secret warehouse in our Jinxiu Building nearby. They hid in it in time and did not let the rebels find it."

It's good that people are not dead, Ling Xun was slightly relieved, but this way, things will be a lot more difficult, as Fang Jue said, once the rebels enter the capital, with the current guarding power of the capital, they will definitely Unable to resist, when the time comes, the forces of all parties will affect the whole body. This capital is not a good place to stay.

"How many people came from Yizhou this time? How many people are in the capital?"

"13 people came from Yizhou. The Jizhou branch dispatched 19 people temporarily after receiving the news. There were also people from Bingzhou and Youzhou. In addition to the original manpower in the capital, there were about a hundred people. Now half of them are scattered in Yuanzhou. Everywhere in the mansion is ready to escort Lord Feng out of the city at any time."

Ling Xun thought for a moment, and said: "You first let the people in each branch go back, tell them to sell their property as soon as possible, change their name and surname to seek a living elsewhere, if they want to continue to follow me, go to Yizhou to find shopkeeper Yue. We should also send someone to notify Shopkeeper Yue as soon as possible, and just tell him that the Jinxiu Building is a big attraction, so he can understand what to do next."

Fang Jue heard the meaning of closing the door and disbanding the team, even though he was born with a monotonous expression and a wooden figure, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Master Feng, it's just a rebellious army, should Jinxiu Building be closed?"

Ling Xun shook his head, "Just do as I tell you."

Fang Jue naturally didn't dare to disobey Ling Xun's order, but he was still unwilling, "But if people are removed, who will protect Master Feng?"

"Just leaving the manpower in the capital is enough, and besides, I can't leave for the time being." Ling Xun said something and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you can go to the prison near Yonghe Street and ask if they want to be executed in the near future. death row."

"There are only about forty people in the capital, how can we guarantee the safety of Lord Feng?"

"Don't worry, it's just me, and I don't need so many people to protect me."

"But Master Feng was injured!" Fang Jue still looked resolute, holding the sword in his arms tightly, as if he was competing with someone.

Damn it's not over yet!

Ling Xun's last bit of good temper was worn out, and he said with a black face, "I'm not disabled yet, why don't I go to work soon?!"

Fang Jue's eyes froze at this moment, and he walked away with an unhappy expression. As usual, he left through the window. Before he left, he was so angry that he said, "I'm going to write a letter to Shopkeeper Yue! Tell me about Master Feng's serious injury." he!"

Ling Xun saw that the person disappeared after landing, so he was relieved. He couldn't help sighing with some regret, and complained that every time Yue Qing sent someone to look for him, it was Fang Jue who came out.

The twins of the Fang family are superb in concealment skills, and they are born to be a good material for stealing chickens and dogs. They were picked up from the street by his insightful eyes, which can be said to be loyal.It's just that Fang Jue's temperament is too upright and dull, and there is no Fang Ke who can escape to please him.Not to mention anything else, if it was Fang Ke who came here this time, he would definitely not be as difficult as Fang Jue, and he would probably bring some delicious food for him.

Thinking about it this way, Ling Xun suddenly felt hungry, rolled on the bed and yelled for Yuan Xi to get him something to eat, but the Second Master Yuan didn't know what he was up to, and there was nothing in the afternoon, Ling Xun lost interest After eating the meal prepared for him by Yuan's servants, he calmed down again, locked himself in the room by himself, and turned out the thin jute paper again.

The handwriting on this paper and the word "Mu's House" hanging at the gate of the Mu family are obviously written by the same person. The handwriting is handsome and elegant, which seems inconspicuous, but if you look carefully, there is a hint of sharpness in the strokes, without losing the character.

There is no reason for this handwriting to make Ling Xun feel familiar, even the most ordinary jute paper, paired with warm and introverted light ink, the feeling that is neither salty nor light and that makes people unable to move their eyes is so familiar.

Could it be that the person surnamed Mu who gave the prescription was his old acquaintance?

The gatekeeper said that Mr. Mu's father was once a guest of General Zhennan's residence, but how could he remember all the idlers that his father raised under his hands?Not to mention the kid from the Hakka family.

For a moment, Ling Xun suddenly thought of the gray-shirted boy who often appeared in his memory. He was stunned for a long time, and shook his head violently to stop his wild thoughts.

No, there is no such coincidence in this world.

What's more, that person should no longer be in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty by now.
