king array

Mu Jiurang Jinyan brought something in his arms, and it was wrapped very tightly. When he took it apart three layers inside and three layers outside, he found that it was actually a well-made guqin inside.Those who are a little familiar with temperament will find that Mu Jiu's Guqin is not the civil and military lyre that is popular today, but the five-stringed qin that was common before the Western Zhou Dynasty.The five-stringed qin combines the five elements inside and the five tones outside. It is said that it was created by a magician, and it connects the spirit of the five elements of heaven and earth through the rhythm.

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do with a guqin at this time, so they couldn't help discussing in low voices.

Mu Jiu didn't explain, and sat with his back bent, put the guqin across his knees and began to play.

There are more than a dozen boats parked on the water, all centered on his boat, gradually moving closer.The heavy rain was pouring down, but it didn't wet his clothes. All the officers and men on the boat had seen Mu Jiu's abilities before, so naturally they wouldn't be surprised anymore. , looking at Mu Jiu with a hint of awe.

Mu Jiu was not moved by the surrounding environment, and only focused on playing the qin. The sound of the qin was very noisy at first, and it could not cover the sound of the rain. However, the tone soon changed sharply, with great ups and downs, and the lingering sound reverberated, showing the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers. , the mood also followed the ups and downs.

"No, cover your ears! Everyone, cover your ears!" Xu Guang noticed that the profound energy contained in the sound of the piano was far more powerful than the most profound martial arts internal energy, and ordinary people might not be able to bear it, so he reminded him.

The soldiers under him naturally covered their ears immediately as he said, but the common people on the shore were far less well-trained than the soldiers, so they had no time to move and just stared blankly at Mu Jiu.

Ling Xun heard the intertwined power of the five elements in Mu Jiu's piano sound. Although the energy is powerful, the five elements interact and restrain each other, and they will not really hurt people. He said: "Don't be afraid, this sound will not hurt people."

The people on the boat were indifferent to his words. His voice was not high, but for some reason, it spread far to the shore and filled everyone's ears.The villagers were stunned for a moment, then turned their eyes away from the person playing the piano, turned to look at the man next to him, and were surprised to find that the robe on his body was not wet either!

And... this man looks too good-looking, with red lips and white eyes, he looks like a character who just walked out of a painting!

It was only when Ling Xun said that that he felt strange. He realized that his voice had been processed by someone using an array technique, which made it spread very far. He looked at Mu Jiu, but Mu Jiu didn't raise his head. At this time, the rhythm had entered the most rapid and intense passage. He flicked his sleeves suddenly, and the five strings vibrated together, making a clanking sound like tearing silk.

The final sound of the zither sound seemed to be tangible, like a long knife splitting the mountain, splitting the rain curtain.

The flood that had been encroaching on the hills suddenly separated to the two sides, and a water curtain more than ten feet high rose up, causing the precarious water level to suddenly drop by about ten feet.

Mu Jiu took the piano and stood up, and said to Xu Guang, "I can only stick to three sticks of incense."

Xu Guang immediately woke up from the shock and hurriedly ordered people to organize the transportation of the villagers on the shore.With the time for three sticks of incense, one round trip is not a problem. There are more than a dozen small boats here, which can take half of the people away, and when they return empty next time, they can take all the rest of the people away.

All the people on the shore knew that they could save their lives, and they all kowtowed to Mu Jiu.

Only then did Yuan Xi say to Ling Xun in a daze, "Mr. Sichen...is this Mr. Sichen?"

Ling Xun nodded: "Yes."

Yuan Xi was taken aback.

Mr. Sichen... is actually a formation master? !

The fleet first picked up the old and the weak, women and children, and then returned along the road to the place where the big ship was berthed. Ling Xun asked Yuan Xi on the way if he knew why the dam was destroyed.

Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly darkened.

Ling Xun knew that his previous guess was only eight or nine points right, so he asked tentatively, "Is it related to your elder brother?"

Yuan Xi didn't answer, but twitched the corners of his mouth with a fake smile.

Ling Xun couldn't believe it, "They are too courageous! So many places have been flooded to deal with you, Master Yuan doesn't care?"

Yuan Xi sneered, "They just need to push the blame on the Liangzhou soldiers, and deal with it cleanly on the bright side. Even if Mr. Yuan is wise, he would not be willing to do anything to that bitch and precious son. If you can kill me, Yuan Xin this one It's worth it."

Yuan Xiang was far less fond of Yuan Xi than his eldest son, but he also fulfilled his father's responsibilities. Yuan Xi usually respected his father very much, but at this time he called his father an adult, which showed his disappointment.

Ling Xun sighed secretly, compared with him, Yuan Xi's background was actually worse.

He was originally the upright son of the Yuan family, and his mother was the daughter of a general. Unfortunately, his father, Yuan Xiang, lived in a white moonlight. Xi's mother came over, and the cousin already had Yuan Xin in her stomach, that is, Yuan Xi's concubine elder brother.

Yuan Xi's mother had a straightforward personality, and she couldn't compare to Bai Yueguang who would arouse sympathy with pear blossoms and rain. Yuan Xiang, who was ruled by others, straightened Bai Yueguang, and Yuan Xin also jumped and sat on Yuan Xi's head.If it wasn't for Bai Yueguang's unstable position back then, and the fear of the influence of Yuan Xi's ancestral family, Yuan Xi would hardly have survived to this day.

"What do you plan to do next?" Ling Xun didn't want to make him sad by mentioning Yuan Xi's family.

Yuan Xi looked at the villages and farmlands submerged by the flood, his eyes became darker, and he said indifferently: "This Jingzhou can't stay any longer, Yuan Xin will definitely take this opportunity to speak to his father, and hold the responsibility for the flooding of eighteen counties on my shoulders." on the head."

"But didn't they use the excuse of Liangzhou soldiers? How can they blame you?"

Yuan Xi glanced at Ling Xun, "Crime of oversight."

Ling Xun was so angry that he cursed: "His grandma, I've had enough of this useless attitude! We won't stay here anymore!"

Seeing that Ling Xun was angry for him, Yuan Xi finally softened his face, and asked knowingly, "Where can I go if I'm not here?"

Ling Xun said without hesitation; "You and I go! Follow me back to Qingping Mountain."

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows: "Yo, so righteous? Isn't it time for you to pretend that you don't know me?"

This is turning over old scores, blaming him for not recognizing him in front of Mu Jiu's gate.

Ling Xun simply said bluntly, "I know you want to hire Huaifeng as an aide. I'm afraid you won't let us leave Jingzhou. If you want to keep Qingping Mountain safe, you must hire someone like Huaifeng."

Yuan Xi stopped talking, he had to admit that what Ling Xun said was right, if he hadn't left for a while and was really bumped into by him, he would never let the famous Mr. Sichen leave easily, no matter what The method is to keep the person in order to prevent him from finding another master and causing hidden dangers to the Yuan family in the future.However, he was also asking himself in his heart, if the person Mu Jiu wanted to help was Ling Xun, would he stop him?

Today, he has no way of knowing the answer.

The small boat quickly arrived at the location of the big boat, and when everyone boarded the big boat, Yuan Xi asked Ling Xun, "Why did you not stay in Yizhou and ran to Qingping Mountain?" topic of suspicion.

"It's a long story. By the way, Zijin, I want to tell you something. I found my sister on Qingping Mountain. She married Zhonglishan."

Yuan Xi had heard about Zhong Lishan's name, and wanted to show surprise when he heard the words, but seeing Ling Xun's sad expression, he couldn't help frowning: "What's going on?"

"My sister has already left and had a difficult labor. She left me a nephew, so I must keep Pingshan safe."

Seeing Ling Xun talking more and more sad, Yuan Xi really wanted to express his condolences, but after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand out of nowhere and flicked Ling Xun on the forehead.

Ling Xun covered his forehead in pain and glared at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi smiled, "Are you really willing to take me in?"

Ling Xun: "Naturally, you and I are brothers, as long as you have me, you will have one, as long as you are not afraid of falling into the grass as a dignified son of the Yuan family."

Yuan Xi laughed at himself: "I have already fallen into this inhuman appearance, so why be afraid of being a bandit?"

"Okay! As expected of Yuan Zijin, that's it!" Ling Xun clapped his hands and laughed, finally readjusted his mood, and took Yuan Xi's hand, "Come on, I'll introduce you to Huaifeng first."

Huaifeng?Yuan Xi thought to himself, how kind is this title?

When Ling Xun and Yuan Xi were talking, Mu Jiu kept standing at a place not too far away, maintaining the distance that a counselor should have from his lord.However, when Ling Xun pulled Yuan Xi in front of Mu Jiu, Yuan Xi looked at Mu Jiu with a more inquiring gaze. He didn't know why a person like him would choose Feng Wuge as a cloth merchant alone. Ling Xun called this person Huaifeng's friendly tone, and there was actually some displeasure in his heart.

"Huaifeng, this is Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family, you can call him Zijin. Zijin, this is Mr. Mu, I don't think I need to say more."

"I've heard of Mr. Sichen's name for a long time, and it's a great fortune to meet you today." Yuan Xi bowed his hands to Mu Jiu.

"Mr. Yuan's ridiculous praise, Mu Jiu dare not take it." Mu Jiu nodded slightly in return.

Jin Yan carefully observed his master's expression from the side, always feeling that although the master has always been indifferent to people and doesn't do much greetings, he seems to be particularly alienated from this Mr. Yuan Xi.

"Okay, there will be time to say something later, Zijin must be hungry, eat something first!" Ling Xun hooked Yuan Xi's neck and walked into the cabin.

Mu Jiuli stood on the spot, watching the intimate backs of the two, silent for a moment, then turned around and walked to another cabin.

"Aren't you going to have dinner with Mr. Feng?" Jin Yan followed behind and asked in a low voice.

However, Mu Jiu just glanced at Jinyan indifferently, and Jinyan immediately fell silent, feeling that his master's stare made him feel cold in his bones.

The soldiers on this boat were all Yuan Xi's direct descendants, so they were naturally more thoughtful than Ling Xun. Without ordering, someone had already brought hot water and rice to serve Yuan Xi to wash.When the two sat opposite each other and Ling Xun was about to move his chopsticks, he realized that there seemed to be something missing around him.

Eh?What about Huaifeng?

Ling Xun hurriedly ordered someone to invite him, but he only waited for Jin Yan to come.

"My lord, sir, he said he didn't want to eat, and went to rest, so you don't have to worry about it."

How can you not eat?

Ling Xun pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

Did he just use the sound of the piano to divide the water and hurt his vitality? "

He also didn't care about eating, he dropped his chopsticks and got up in a hurry.

"Where are you going?" Yuan Xi asked.

"You eat first, don't wait for me, I'll go and see Huaifeng."

Looking at the empty seat opposite, Yuan Xi was thoughtful, feeling more and more unhappy.

When has Feng Wuge ever seen Feng Wuge drop his chopsticks for someone else and forget about eating?Back then, when tens of thousands of business came to him, he could slowly finish a crab feast before seeing customers.How could he face Mu Huaifeng, he seemed like a different person?

Ling Xun came to the outside of Mu Jiu's cabin, knocked on the door twice, but there was no response, and whispered, "Huaifeng?"

Advise him sincerely: "Your Majesty, let's go back, Mr. has ordered him to rest, and no one should disturb him."

Ling Xun waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm responsible for what happened, I just ignored it just now, I always have to look at him to be at ease."

Jin Yan murmured in his heart, there is nothing to worry about, the little art of dividing water from the piano sound is just a trivial matter to the Patriarch, but his intuition told him that it is better not to talk too much, so he could only back away silently.

Ling Xun pushed the door open and entered, and saw Mu Jiuzheng lying on the bed with his body facing out, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Huaifeng, are you okay?" Ling Xun approached.

Mu Jiu opened his eyes, the light in the cabin was not good, and his expression was hidden in the shadows, making it hard to see clearly.He sat up, as if he was going to stand up and salute, but was held down by Ling Xun's hand.

"You don't need to get up, you are resting, I just want to see you."

Mu Jiu looked down at Ling Xun's hand on his arm.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ling Xun asked again: "Huaifeng, did you hurt your vitality by playing the piano just now?"

His wrist tightened suddenly, and Ling Xun was startled when Mu Jiu grabbed him, but before he could be surprised, he was pulled forward by the other party and fell down on the bed.

Mu Jiu pulled Ling Xun closer and stared in the dark.

Ling Xun was so nervous that he forgot to breathe, and couldn't help but stare round, when he suddenly raised his hand and flicked it hard on his forehead.

Ling Xun: "..."

Ling Xun covered his forehead in astonishment, in disbelief.

What did Mu Jiu just do?

However, after Mu Jiu flicked this, he lay back on the bed without saying a word, closed his eyes again, and ignored Ling Xun.

Ling Xun blinked and blinked, and it took him a while to realize.

It turns out that Huaifeng has sleepwalking...

It's just that when you are sleepwalking, your strength is a bit too much.

When Ling Xun was about to go out, he still didn't forget to find a quilt for Mu Jiu to cover him. It wasn't until he left that Mu Jiu slowly opened his eyes, and took out the hand that was used to touch Ling Xun's forehead just now from the quilt. After watching for a long time, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He clenched his fists and frowned slightly. When he let go of his hand again, his expression returned to his usual calmness.

Tuk tuk tuk, there was a strange sound from outside the porthole, as if someone hit the window frame with a sharp object.

Mu Jiu's expression changed slightly, his wide sleeves flicked, and a gust of wind blew up the porthole, and a snow-white starling flew in.

Mynah landed in front of Mu Jiu. Mu Jiu flicked a small red pill into its mouth. Mynah opened his mouth and said, "The green dragon has entered the sea of ​​the three realms. It's broken. Congratulations to Master Jiu."

"Go back and tell them that if there is no serious matter in the future, don't send letters easily." Mu Jiu ordered the starling lightly, as if it could understand human speech.

Starling tilted his head, seeing that Mu Jiu had no other explanation, he flapped his wings and flew out of the window again, and soon disappeared.
