When the lie was exposed, Murong Fu did not show any embarrassment on his face. Instead, he pretended to be shocked and asked, "What, your brother is also in the Golden Snake Camp?"
Seeing this, Mu Jianping thought he really didn't know, and immediately nodded, "Yes, Miss Mochou told me."
"This Li Mochou is really troublesome!" Murong Fu murmured to himself. He pondered for a while and decided to change his approach. He then said seriously, "Ping'er, your brother treats you like this, do you still recognize him?"
Mu Jianping suddenly looked puzzled, "What did he do to me?"
"Silly girl," Murong Fu sighed, "What's the difference between him asking you to assassinate King Pingxi and asking you to die? Even his own sister can be pushed into the fire pit. What does this kind of person think of him?"
Mu Jianping was stunned at first, then shook his head repeatedly, "No, that's not the case with Brother Murong, I..."
In the middle of the sentence, Murong Fu suddenly snorted and interrupted, "Ping'er, you don't have to explain for him. Last time, you were lucky and I was lucky enough to meet you in the Black Prison. Otherwise... in short, I don't agree with you going. When you meet him, who knows he will ask you to do something more dangerous next time. People's luck is limited. You are, and so am I. I don't want to lose you."
Mu Jianping was greatly moved after hearing this, but he still explained, "Brother Murong, Ping'er doesn't want to leave you, never, but you have misunderstood my brother. He is really not what you thought he was since he was a child. He has always loved me."
"you……"
Before Murong Fu could speak, Mu Jianping suddenly reached out and pinched his lips, saying playfully, "Can you please listen to what I have to say first?"
Murong Fu nodded.
Mu Jianping continued, "Although our Prince Mu's Mansion has declined, since I can remember, my brother, master, senior sisters, brothers, and the entire people in Prince Mu's Mansion have loved me, respected me, and treated me as a real little princess. They always relied on me in everything, but they never let me participate in the anti-Qing affairs. My brother was traveling outside all year round, and I don’t know how many times he received the looks. Every year, a few familiar faces disappeared in the house. I knew they might have returned. He’s not coming, but I can’t do anything…”
As she spoke, tears glistened in the corners of her eyes, and she cried softly in Murong Fu's arms.
Of course, it was not difficult for Murong Fu to understand her mood, or to understand Mu Jiansheng's mood. He thought that the situation of Murong's family and Prince Mu's house were actually similar at the time. Both were tasked with an almost impossible mission, but there were so many people around him. He had no one and no money. If he hadn't relied on the memory of later generations to collect weapons, seize opportunities, and step by step get to where he is today, his fate might not be as good as Mu Jiansheng's.
Mu Jianping cried for a while, then raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Brother Murong, I am also a member of Prince Mu's Mansion. Brother, Master and the others are all so kind to me, but I can only watch them live and die. How can I rest in peace if I lick blood with the blade of a knife? So I decided to accomplish a big thing for my brother. That assassination was an opportunity. My brother originally refused, but I forced him to die before he agreed to my going."
"You..." Murong Fu didn't know what to say after hearing this. If it was really like what she said, then Mu Jiansheng was not without merit.
At this time, Mu Jianping said, "Brother Murong, Ping'er has nothing to ask for in this life. He only has two wishes. One is that everyone in Prince Mu's palace can be safe, and the other is... that he can be with Brother Murong for the rest of his life. Not separated."
After that, he added pointedly, "You and my brother are the two closest people to me in this world. I really don't want any conflict between you, let alone anything happening to either of you."
Murong Fu gently stroked the beauty's vest, and after a long time he took a long breath, "Don't worry, your two wishes will definitely come true. No matter what, he will be your brother. Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. If one day
Prince Mu's Mansion is really in trouble, and I won't stand idly by."
"Brother Murong, you are so kind, thank you!" Mu Jianping immediately laughed happily, and the pear blossoms were raining, so beautiful.
Murong Fu wiped away her tears and pinched her cheek gently, "Silly girl, what's there to thank you for? I won the daughter of Prince Mu's palace, how can I do anything?"
Mu Jianping's face turned red, and he asked without missing a beat, "Now... has Brother Murong agreed to see my brother?"
Murong Fu understood what she meant. She actually wanted him to propose marriage to Mu Jiansheng. His eyes flickered and he said, "Ping'er, there's something you don't know. Before you guys came, I just had a meeting with the people from the Golden Snake Camp."
There have been conflicts, and now many people are unhappy with me. It is not convenient for me to come forward, otherwise it will cause greater conflicts. Please take it easy in advance."
Mu Jianping was naive, but not stupid, especially in this matter. How could she fail to see his intentions when she heard this? After hearing this, a flash of disappointment flashed across her face, and she had to retreat and do the next best thing, "Then I'll go first."
Would you like to meet him?"
"This..." Of course Murong Fu was unwilling in his heart, but when he saw her eyes mixed with expectation and pleading, he couldn't help but soften a little. He was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, but we have to wait for Hong Lingbo to come back."
"Ah, why is this?"
"Silly girl, I just told you that I had a quarrel with the people in the Golden Snake Camp. If you leave my place, there is no guarantee that no one will deliberately make things difficult for you. I can rest assured if Ling Bo goes with you."
"Brother Murong, the Golden Snake Camp is full of heroes and heroes, how could it be..."
"Okay, this matter is settled." Murong Fu said forcefully. Seeing her mood drop instantly, he could only coax, "Silly girl, you made so much noise when you came today, your brother will definitely receive it.
Feng Sheng, if you don't go to him, he will come to you."
Even though he said this, he knew that Mu Jiansheng would probably not dare to come to him at this time.
When Mu Jianping heard this, he immediately started laughing.
The two of them were chatting with each other for a while, when footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. They turned around and saw that it was the little mute walking in carrying a food box.
Mu Jianping was startled and quickly broke away from Murong Fu. He looked at the little mute and blurted out, "Who is she?"
In fact, it was not difficult for her to tell that she was a maid from the way she was dressed, but this maid was a little too beautiful, so that she instinctively felt wary and jealous in her heart.
Murong Fu smiled slightly and talked about the little mute's affairs.
After hearing this, Mu Jianping was filled with sympathy, and the hostility in his heart immediately disappeared, and he enthusiastically stepped forward to help.
The two women brought the food to the table, and the little mute walked up to Murong Fu, bent down and bowed.
Murong Fu glanced at the rather exquisite side dishes on the table, and his appetite was indeed very strong, but for no reason, he suddenly remembered what happened in the inn a few days ago, and couldn't help but ask, "Where did this food come from?"
"
The little mute was stunned for a moment and started making gestures like ah ah ah ah ah.
Murong Fu rolled his eyes helplessly, but at this moment Mu Jianping said, "Brother Murong, she said the food was taken from the kitchen."
"Do you know sign language?" Murong Fu was surprised.
Mu Jianping nodded happily and said proudly, "Don't underestimate me. When I was in Prince Mu's Mansion, my brother hired many teachers to teach me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Some teachers would teach me some more interesting things. This
Sign language is one of them."
"You can't tell, but my Ping'er is still a talented woman." Murong Fu complimented him, then changed the subject, "I won't eat this meal. My practice has reached a critical moment these days, and I must give up my appetite to avoid eating.
The dirty air invades the body and affects the progress of one's skills."
The little mute looked at him blankly, obviously not understanding.
But Mu Jianping saw that he was a little insincere. Thinking of what he just said, his heart moved. Could it be that he was afraid that people from the Golden Snake Camp would poison him?
Thinking of this, she smiled sweetly and said, "Why don't Ping'er try it for Brother Murong first?"
As he was about to move his chopsticks, Murong Fu said hurriedly, "Wait a minute, Ping'er, when you go out, be careful. It's better not to touch the food handled by others. I will ask the people from the Golden Snake Camp to deliver some later."
Here are the ingredients, if you are hungry, you can help yourself."
Of course he is not afraid of poison. There are very few poisons that can be obtained from him in the world, and even the Golden Snake Camp cannot get them out. He is just worried about the behavior of the shopkeeper Hu in the Golden Dragon Inn. After all, he eats from the same pot.
, who knows if the people in Golden Snake Camp will have the same moral character as Shopkeeper Hu?
You're not afraid of being poisoned to death, but you're afraid of being disgusted to death, so it's better to be careful.
In the end, the little mute, who didn't know what was going on, had to take away the food intact.
Time flies, and another two days have passed. Murong Fu claimed to be in seclusion and saw no one. In fact, when he was practicing, he occasionally left his residence quietly and walked around Lanling Mountain to explore. After two days, he learned a lot.
Intelligence, for example, the reason why the number of people in Lanling Mountain soared was not because of the strong appeal of the Anti-Qing Alliance Conference, but because the bandit villages were cornered by Wu Sangui's army. When I heard that there was such a place to gather together and keep warm.
, they came in a swarm.
Another example is the frequent mobilization of the Golden Snake Camp army. On the one hand, because Jinan, Jining, and Qingzhou have completely fallen into the hands of Wu Sangui, his next target is most likely to be the Golden Snake Camp general camp in Lanling Mountain, Yizhou.
On the one hand, Yuan Chengzhi didn't know what he had figured out, and he actually decided to integrate the army at this time. This whole thing touched the interests of too many people, so that the atmosphere suddenly became very delicate, and even the Tiandi Club was a little vigilant.
meaning.
On this day, Murong Fu was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun. Next to him, Mu Jianping was gently beating his legs. Not far away, the little mute squatted on the ground and played with her camellias, as if he was not distracted.
Not long after, a white shadow flashed in the courtyard, and a figure appeared. It was Hong Lingbo. She bowed and said, "See you, Master."
Murong Fu waved his hand, "How's the thing I asked you to do?"
Hong Lingbo did not dare to be disrespectful and said respectfully, "Master, Lingbo has sent a message to the Blood Shadow Palace disciples on the road, asking them to transfer to Jinling and closely monitor Yagyu Zongyan's every move. No news has been sent back yet. In addition,
, Wu Yingxiong’s whereabouts have been found.”
"Oh?" Murong Fu perked up and sat up suddenly, "Where is it?"
