The monk who is going to cross me is bent

Yu Chi looked.

This is the name he only heard when he was still Prince Luo E. He couldn't remember how long it had been, and hadn't he heard someone call him like that?

So he understood that since Zhuang Hou could figure out his identity, Mu Beixi could also find out his identity.

But it seems that the only one who knows nothing about his identity... is Zhuang Yan.During the time spent together day and night, Xiaochi was not without temptations, but Zhuang Yan seemed to be really unaware.

Sometimes Xiaochi would think, did Zhuanghou really never confess to his only son?Or is it just because I can't figure out Zhuang Yan's mind?

Without a single question, he followed Mu Beixi to the backyard of the weapon shop, and the two sat down on the stone table in the backyard.

No wine, only two cups of hot tea on the table, Koike did not touch.

Sitting opposite him, Mu Beixi looked like he was only in his early 30s, and this was the best period of a man's life.He looks majestic, but his demeanor is very calm, "Actually, in all fairness, Zhuang Yan has a lot of affection for you, but I'm actually curious how long this love will last."

"I think you didn't go all this way to talk nonsense with me." Xiaochi was not polite.

Mu Beixi nodded, "Now the princes on both sides of the north and south straits are divided. In the north are the big and small Zhuanghou, and Shi Huan and I are in the south. They are all dormant and do not move. They look calm, but you and I both know that the calm at this time is just for waiting. At the right time, when that opportunity arises, the pattern of the world will definitely be greatly changed."

The cup of tea on the table was steaming, and Mu Beixi was holding the cup, but he was not in a hurry to drink it.He seemed to use a homely tone, and asked a thought-provoking question, "But look at the situation in the world, what will it look like in five years?"

Xiaochi had only met Mu Beixi once in the Putuo Temple, and his understanding of him was mostly from the records in black and white, and occasionally he would listen to Zhuang Yan's stories about him over the years, so he already felt that he was worthy of being a hero in the world , everything he does has deep meaning, and he can often take one step and settle ten steps. If you fight against him, very few people can retreat unscathed.

This was the first time he had such a close conversation with this Marquis of Quan, and he felt that this person was extraordinary and unfathomable.

"Do you believe it? If the period is five years, after five years, the situation will definitely change." Although Mu Beixi only wore an ordinary purple brocade suit, he revealed a kind of grace and luxury that ordinary people do not have. When you made an appointment, I just wanted to ask you, have you ever thought about where you will be five years from now?"

Speaking of this, Mu Beixi smiled himself, "If you are really willing to spend your whole life in Zhuang Yan's yard, relying on the love he can take back at any time, and be his Mrs. Zhuang, you won't secretly I ran out to meet me... I waited for you for three days, and I was planning to go back to the south in the morning, but I didn't want to be delayed here, and I really have this fate to meet you."

Mu Beixi's intentions are elusive, Xiao Chi talked to him more than usual, "Then what do you want to do when you come out to me? Tell me if you have something to say, I have to go back sooner, I've disappeared for too long If not, they will be discovered by Zhuang Yan's people."

"I specially asked you to come here for a secret talk, just to form an alliance with you." Mu Beixi's eyes fell on him, and he turned around without a trace, "In the game between Jiangbei's big and small Zhuanghou, I am more optimistic about physical strength. Zhuang Yan, who is strong and in his prime. Whether Zhuang Yan is genuinely benevolent, or a flawless fake benevolence for the sake of fame, he will not be able to kill his own father when he really unifies Jiangbei. Bear the infamy of patricide."

"... Then all your life, you can only watch your subjugated enemy live in front of your eyes, waiting for him to take care of his life and slowly die of old age. Although he is close at hand, he will never be able to personally report to your biological parents , twin sister's enmity."

Mu Beixi's provocative method went straight to the point. Xiaochi knew his purpose, but he was still uncontrollably shaken by him.

Mu Beixi asked, don't you want to kill Zhuang Hou yourself?

This simple question cuts to the heart like a knife.Xiaochi answered in his heart—thinking, how could he not want to?He almost dreamed of it.It's not enough for father and son to turn against each other. He wants Zhuang Hou to watch him lose everything he cares about, and experience the heart-wrenching pain he has experienced.

But if one day, Zhuang Yan defeated Zhuanghou, would he really be able to do anything to his biological father?Xiaochi asked himself this question more than once, but it was the first time that Mu Beixi brought it out in front of him so clearly today.He finally sees the sun through the clouds and no longer takes chances.

Zhuang Yan would not kill his own father. The most likely thing is to wait for Zhuang Hou to enjoy his wealth for a lifetime and then die of old age, and then take over Zhuang Hou's power - let Zhuang Hou live his life so comfortably, This is also the ending Koike is least willing to accept.

Mu Beixi finished the battle, and said leisurely, "Mr. Zhuang's likes and dislikes are unpredictable, he often doesn't play cards according to common sense, and it's not easy to trust others. If there is only one person he has truly trusted in his life, that is him. Zhuang Yan, his only son."

"But Zhuang Yan is thoughtful. During the past 20 years of getting along, it is impossible not to know the fatal blind spot of his father. But——Zhuang Yan will definitely not tell anyone easily."

Xiaochi murmured and continued: "Because the lips are dead, the teeth are cold... Although they are separated from father and son, they are both people who are not confused about key matters. If they really encounter you attacking from the south, they will definitely form an alliance and twist them together." Tie Ban, who has been speaking to the outside world, will instead give them a chance to rebuild their relationship with their father and son."

Mu Beixi smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, you know what you're going to do, so I don't need to say more. You and I have a five-year term. During this time, I will be your Mrs. Zhuang and hold on tight." Your young master Zhuang's heart... I also want to see what you can get from Zhuang Yan. "

"If there is any critical news, you know how to find me."

Xiaochi understood what Mu Beixi meant, he meant passing the secret letter through this weapon shop, so he nodded.

The appreciation in Mu Beixi's eyes deepened. He looked at Xiaochi's appearance, "Are you 17 years old, or are you? Usually young people at your age are more than intelligent but not stable enough. They tend to fall short at the last minute. But you... I But there is no need to say more, people plan things, Gods make things happen, wait for the opportunity by Zhuang Yan's side, if you wait for this opportunity, you..."

Mu Beixi moved a little closer, and every word he uttered was full of temptation that he couldn't resist, "You...don't let it go."

After saying this, Mu Beixi sat up straight and distanced himself from Xiaochi, "It's almost time, you should go back quickly. If you need me to help, you can pass me a letter at any time."

Xiaochi immediately said: "I want to learn martial arts, I know you are a world-renowned master, would you like to pass on one or two secret books to me?"

Mu Beixi was noncommittal, "To what extent do you want to practice? If you want to reach the level where you can fight Zhuang Hou...it's unlikely, it's really too late for you to start practicing now. If it's just for the effect of strengthening your body, If you come to me, you might as well go to Zhuang Yanxue directly, and at the same time explain your martial arts origin."

These words were similar to what Zhuang Yan said, Xiaochi clenched his lips in annoyance.Having said that, in fact, it is almost time to leave, but there is still one thing that Xiaochi can't figure out.

There is nothing free in this world, why would Mu Beixi trust such an unknown person so easily?Or just find the door?

"But there is one thing I don't understand. If I don't ask clearly, I can't feel at ease." Xiaochi asked calmly: "Would you trust me, promise me resources, and even take the risk to come and talk with me in person? What do you want? What is it?"

Mu Beixi was not surprised when he heard this question, he slowly touched the wall of the teacup, "If you say that the person who most hopes Zhuang Hou will die well... you can be ranked among the top few, and Given the opportunity to get close to his only son Zhuang Yan, you will naturally become my most ideal secret ally. As for me..."

"And I just want to have a share of the chaos in Jiangbei after Zhuanghou's death."

This is indeed a plausible reason. Looking at the north and south coasts, which prince would not want to sit on the four seas and become emperor?If Mu Beixi can occupy one or two cities along the Jiangbei coast, he will have a long-term geographical and strategic advantage for him.Xiaochi had studied the Art of War and stayed in Jiangbei for this period of time. He could even roughly guess which cities Mu Beixi wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

For Mu Beixi, he certainly wouldn't believe everything.But Xiaochi didn't need to refuse the help he suggested for the time being.

It's just that if he waits for the day when he can truly defeat Zhuanghou and take revenge, he will have to choose his own position in this chaos... Xiaochi shook his head, it's still far away from this day, and he doesn't need to think about it now.

When Xiaochi was about to leave, Mu Beixi suddenly said, "Actually, I came this time because I was curious about you, so I came to see you with my own eyes."

For Mu Beixi, it was difficult to see what he really wanted in normal conversations, or it was just because he was too deep in the city that he couldn't see it.When he talked about his future plans in Jiangbei, there was no fluctuation in his expression, and when he looked at Xiaochi, he was not like most men and women who kept staring at him after showing a look of amazement and infatuation. the effect of his appearance.

But the meaning of this sentence is a bit subtle. Mu Beixi explained without moving an inch: "The reason why I am curious about you is actually because of 'Shi Huan'. He asked Zhuang Hou for your hand before, so I treat him After many years of understanding, if it is said that he wanted to save you, then this method is too crude. I think it is more like he is borrowing a knife to kill someone, directly using Zhuanghou's hand to completely destroy you."

Shi Huan's move a few years ago was also doubtful in Xiaochi's heart, but now he heard Mu Beixi's analysis, and he was even more convinced.

It's just that he and Shi Huan have never met before, so why target him like this?This is really puzzling.

Mu Beixi looked at his expression and said his thoughts almost like reading his mind, "Can't you figure it out? Actually, I haven't figured it out yet. So I'm just taking a step and looking at it. Shi Huan, Every action and every word of his has a profound meaning. Since he has his eyes on you...heh."

Mu Beixi changed the topic vaguely, "Then what he wants to do, I will tell him not to be able to do it... In this way, I will send more deployments in Jiangbei, and if things fail with Zhuang Yan, I will immediately send you Withdrew to Jiangnan."

"Then, Mr. Yuchi, I won't send you off, and I will wait for your good news." Mu Beixi opened his mouth to see off the guest, and said goodbye with a smile, "Beauty is a sharp blade, Mr. Yuchi, don't be ashamed of it, and don't let you down Make good use of this unique talent."

Beauty can be regarded as a kind of talent, but he thought of his years as Yuchi's national teacher, his reputation and talent were even affected by his appearance, and he was ridiculed by civil servants with different political views for his close association with Mu Beixi.Because of this, he suffered an indiscriminate disaster and became the protagonist of the little yellow mosquito 700 years later.

The bedroom in the main courtyard of the old house has been locked, and there is no one else in the room except Chi Wang. When he was soaking in a tub filled with hot water and cleaning up the traces of his sexual affairs, he suddenly thought of 700 years ago inexplicably. What Mu Beixi said to him.

But now... when he was washing his body with water, his fingers were trembling slightly with anger.

Whatever happened in this world will leave traces.Just wait until he finds this shameless man... He will regret being born in this world.
