life fate

After Cheng Mubei finished processing at the Jiubei Pavilion stronghold, he changed into clean clothes and headed towards the city gate. Many people looked at him along the way, especially young girls, but many of them were too embarrassed to keep staring at him. Dare to sneak a glance.

The capital city is indeed very prosperous. The roads paved with bluestone slabs are very clean after being washed by the rain.He and Shen Jiansheng made an appointment to meet at the gate of the city, but after a cursory look around, he went out.

He was still thinking about what excuse he should use to get out of the city gate. After all, he was so ostentatious when he entered the city, it was hard not to be remembered.Just as he was thinking, a dirty beggar bumped into him.There were so many people on the street, Cheng Mubei was squeezed in the middle and had no way to dodge, being brushed past by beggars.

He felt that the beggar touched his waist, reached out and clasped the old beggar's wrist, turned it over, and his purse was lying safely in the old beggar's palm.

Cheng Mubei looked up at the old beggar, who was probably a habitual offender, and asked without changing his face, "Brother, why are you dragging me? I saw that your purse was about to fall, and I helped you."

There were already spectators around, and chattering discussions appeared in the crowd.Cheng Mubei just chuckled, "Naturally, to thank the old man, I want to treat the old man to a cup of tea."

"Little brother, don't be fooled! This kind of person is probably trying to steal your things!" An aunt in the crowd was carrying a basket and kindly called to Cheng Mubei, probably treating him as an ignorant little boy.

Cheng Mubei also pretended to be innocent, "Thank you, auntie, I think this old man is a good person."

The people around burst into laughter, some lamented how kind this little brother is, and some felt that Cheng Mubei was really stupid.But Cheng Mubei didn't pay much attention to it, and brought the old beggar who didn't know why back to the cloth village.

"Do me a favor, I won't settle with you for stealing my purse." Cheng Mubei frowned and looked at his palm, the old beggar's hand was greasy just now.

The old beggar wanted to talk back, but Cheng Mubei preempted him, "If I can catch you, I will be able to deal with you naturally. It's better to suffer at the moment, my life is important."

The old beggar angrily swallowed what he wanted to say.

With the shopkeeper's explanation, the people in the cloth village were very respectful to Cheng Mubei, and Cheng Mubei asked someone to take the old beggar down to tidy up, wash his face and change his clothes.The old beggar's face hadn't been washed for some time. His sallow face was stained with dirt and obvious wrinkles. He was really not a pleasing old man.

The people in the cloth village didn't say anything, so the old beggar quit, "I won't wash it, I won't change it! How can you go out and beg in that way!"

Cheng Mubei glanced at him with a smile, but didn't speak.The old beggar howled twice, swallowed his words silently and followed the people in Buzhuang.

"What is this?" The shopkeeper took the opportunity to step forward and asked his doubts.

Cheng Mubei said: "The checks at the gate of the city are too strict, find a reason to leave the city."

After half an hour, the old beggar came out fully dressed.He looks like an old man from an ordinary family with a neat and tidy body. He should watch his family flourish and enjoy the family happiness.

Cheng Mubei took him away and told him, "You have to cooperate with me in whatever I say later, and I will leave the city with this clothes. If you make any trouble, just go with the clothes." Bar."

Cheng Mubei's threatening words were also in a normal tone. The old beggar was a little scared, but he still insisted, "Then how can I enter the city!"

"The old man is really joking, how many times can you go in and out with this skill?"

The old beggar glanced at Cheng Mubei, "You're not some court criminal, are you?"

Cheng Mubei felt a little funny, and stretched his eyebrows, "Do I look alike?"

The old beggar was stunned for a moment. He had seen the concubines in the palace from afar, but they were far less beautiful than Cheng Mubei.So he shook his head silently, "It seems that he is going to have an affair with the imperial court."

Cheng Mubei: "..."

To be on the safe side, Cheng Mubei still sealed the old beggar's dumb acupoint, and supported the old beggar with a respectful look.

Sure enough, the head of the guards guarding the city recognized him, "Why do you..."

Cheng Mubei immediately held the head of the guard's hand excitedly, "Thank you brother for letting me in, so I found my relatives and settled down with my brother!"

The head of the guard was stunned for a while and asked, "Then why are you leaving the city?"

Cheng Mubei pointed to the old beggar and said, "The car I pushed before was given to me by this old man. I didn't expect to meet him in the capital. Seeing that his legs and feet are inconvenient, I plan to give him a ride."

The head guard frowned and looked at the old beggar.As expected of being cheated for many years, the old beggar put on a very kind smile and nodded.

"Why don't you speak?" the head guard asked.

The old beggar immediately showed a sad expression and made two gestures.

The guard turned his head and asked Cheng Mubei, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Mubei's expression was more sad than that of the old beggar, "This old man is dumb."

There were still a lot of people queuing up behind, so the guard had no choice but to wave his hand and let Cheng Mubei go.

Shen Jiansheng was already waiting outside the city gate. Cheng Mubei would have been faster than him, but it was delayed because of the old beggar.When he saw Shen Jiansheng, he waved to him, took out a piece of silver and gave it to the old beggar, and relieved him by the way, "Stop stealing, if the person who caught you today wasn't me, you could still stand here ?"

The old beggar was able to speak, but suddenly fell silent, watching Cheng Mubei walk away.

"Who is that?" Shen Jiansheng handed the horse rope to Cheng Mubei, and looked at the old beggar.Cheng Mubei got on his horse and briefly explained the process to him.

"Did you hand over that guard to Jiubei Pavilion?"

Cheng Mubei nodded, "Well, he's injured and shouldn't be on his way, so he'll be sent directly back to Funan Village."

It took the two of them a long time to go, and it was already noon when they returned to the inn.The inn was not too badly burned, but it was still not suitable to go back to live in, so the shopkeeper took the lead, moved out the pot, and piled up a stove with stones for cooking.

Except for Zi Sangzhu and his party, there were no passengers, and everyone actively helped under Nan Chu's arrangement.

Seeing Cheng Mubei and the others came back, Nan Chu waved at them, "It's ready to eat." Cheng Mubei laughed, if Nan Chu was a girl, she might be more virtuous.

Zi Sangzhu was sitting in a wheelchair, and it was inconvenient to come forward to help, and when he saw Cheng Mubei and Shen Jiansheng coming back, he just had an indifferent look, "If you are free, please put the wooden boards on the horse, so that the goods can be released. "

Nan Chu immediately greeted the people from Funanzhuang to go.

Zi Sangzhu didn't express anything about Nan Chu suddenly becoming the master of the house, and suddenly asked, "Young Pavilion Master, why do I feel that there is one person missing?"

Cheng Mubei smiled indifferently, "I was ambushed and injured halfway, and I have asked someone to take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Nan Chu also counted the number of people, "From Funan Village?"

Cheng Mubei nodded, "It's arranged to send it back to the village directly."

Nan Chu and Cheng Mubei sang together, and immediately turned to look at Zisangzhu, "It just so happens that I'm here, so let me take his place, Mr. Zisang, don't you mind?"

Having said all this, Zi Sangzhu could only smile politely, "Master Nan Shao is really good at joking, I wonder who dares to ambush Hero Shen?"

Shen Jiansheng replied coldly, "The little thief in the mountain."

After lunch, the group of people had to go on the road again. This place is not far from the capital, the road is smooth and wide, and everyone walked very smoothly.When passing through the city gate, Cheng Mubei really had a headache, because the head of the guard hadn't changed his shift yet.

So he took the initiative to say hello to the head of the guard, "Brother, it's been hard work, I'm back again."

Guard head: "..."

Before he could ask, Cheng Mubei replied, "I still have to go back to my relative's house to watch my brother's burial."

A group of people looked at Cheng Mubei blankly, only Shen Jiansheng who knew the inside story couldn't help showing a smile.Young master Cheng's ability to open his eyes and tell lies is also growing day by day.

In the end, they managed to enter the capital smoothly. This time, their destination was the home of a high-ranking official in the capital, and he transported them into the imperial court.

Cheng Mubei, Shen Jiansheng, and Nan Chu are all rare handsome men, and Zi Sangzhu is also really handsome, so they are very eye-catching when they get together, and they received many attention gifts along the way.

"Mu Bei, do you remember the first time we went to the brothel?" Nan Chu suddenly said.

Cheng Mubei was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what unpleasant thing he remembered, so he said with a sullen face, "I don't remember."

Nan Chu showed a malicious smile, turned around and told Shen Jiansheng, "At that time, there was a son who directly regarded Mu Bei as the top card, and spent a lot of money on the old bustard to get this girl."

Cheng Mubei looked at Nan Chu coldly, and retorted, "I don't know who it is, but when I saw her girl rushing over, she pushed her away and threw up in fright."

"That's because she has too much incense on her body!"

The youth of these two people should have been very rich, and I don't know if the masters of the north pavilion and the master of the south villa know that their sons went to the brothel together.

Shen Jiansheng lowered his eyes, and unexpectedly remembered his childhood. At that time, Shen Can was extremely strict with him, and he was locked in a small dark room to practice kung fu all day long.The small black room doesn't even have windows, and there is a movable iron sheet on the door, and the meals are brought in from there.

In fact, Shen Puze lived almost the same kind of life, except that Shen Puze lived in a bright courtyard with a teacher who taught him, and there were no white eyes around him.

He looked up at Cheng Mubei, who was arguing with Nan Chu, and drew a shallow arc. Fortunately, he met Cheng Mubei, otherwise, what would life be like?

In the evening, he finally arrived at his destination, Zi Sangzhu went to negotiate with the people in the house, and Nan Chu directed the delivery of goods.

Cheng Mubei took Shen Jiansheng to the side to dodge, "You said that Saihan came to the capital, should I remind him of the debt he owes me?"

Shen Jiansheng looked at Cheng Mubei, "I'll go if you go."

Cheng Mubei laughed, "Forget it, after we live in seclusion, we will go wandering around, and then go to Beimo to experience the scenery of the desert."

Shen Jiansheng liked hearing Cheng Mubei's description of their future, so he smiled and said "Yes".

A person jumped out of the house suddenly, it turned out to be Mu Yan who met in the inn that day, he walked out and looked around, and finally found Cheng Mubei, "Hey! What a coincidence!"

Cheng Mubei responded with a smile, "It seems that Xiongtai is indeed a son of a rich family."

Mu Yan scratched his head embarrassingly, "If I knew you were coming to our house, it would be great to go the same way!"

Cheng Mubei smiled and said nothing, Mu Yan had no choice but to greet the two of them, "Come and sit in the mansion, there is no inn around here, you all stay at our mansion at night."

It happened that Nan Chu was walking this way, Cheng Mubei pointed at him, "It depends on what he wants."

"Oh?" Mu Yan looked at Nan Chu curiously, "I didn't see this person that day."

Nan Chu had already approached, and upon hearing Mu Yan's words, "I'm a newcomer, and I've met Mr. Mu."

Mu Yan waved his hand, "Don't make these empty gestures, I'm telling you to stay overnight, it's hard for so many of you to find an inn, and the inn is still far away!"

The night had gradually drawn up, Nan Chu and Cheng Mubei looked at each other, and no longer refused, "Then thank you, Mr. Mu, for your kindness, but I can only decide on the people on my side, and the other group of people is not under my control."

"It's that one," Mu Yan gestured on his lap, "Is that the one in the wheelchair?"

Nan Chu nodded, but heard Mu Yan say, "I think he's very weird, it's best if he can't stay here."

This straightforward young master is really cute, Nan Chu smiled, "It's getting cold, Mr. Mu should go back home."

"Let's go, you go back with me."

Zi Sangzhu and Master Mu were talking about something, Mu Yan brought them to his yard and ordered them to prepare some food.Mu Yan seemed to be very interested in the Jianghu, asking them about various things in the Jianghu.

Shen Jiansheng didn't say much, and just sat aside coldly.And Cheng Mubei didn't have enough patience, he was able to joke a few words with Mu Yan at first, but then he simply sat next to Shen Jiansheng and kept silent.Only the good-tempered Nan Chu is still dealing with Mu Yan who is like a curious baby.

After a long time, someone came to inform Mu Yan, "Young master, the master asked you to see off the guests together."

Zisang's family is deeply rooted in the capital, so Zisangzhu naturally wouldn't worry about not being able to find a place to live.Knowing that Cheng Mubei and his party stayed overnight, he declined Master Mu's invitation and insisted on leaving.

Although Master Mu is closer to the Zisang family, he will not neglect these people in the world. He entertained a delicious dinner, arranged a good residence for them, and threatened to let a few of them live in Mu's house for a few days. moon.

Dealing with Master Mu was naturally left to Nan Chu, and Cheng Mubei took Shen Jiansheng away after eating.The capital city is still very lively at night, and it is a bit chilly at night. The Mu Mansion is far away from the busy city, and the surrounding area is still very quiet.

Cheng Mubei and Shen Jiansheng climbed up to the roof, it was half a month tonight, the bright moon was hanging in the sky, casting cold and bright light on the earth.Cheng Mubei clasped Shen Jiansheng's hand, "After dealing with Song Yi and Guardian Zuo's affairs, we will go to live in seclusion."

"Do you think Zisangzhu will stop here?" Shen Jiansheng rarely meddles in his own business.

Cheng Mubei shook his head, "I don't know, I think according to his temperament, he won't let it go easily."
