So far, Shang Zirong and even Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhang are Zhuo Mufeng's few relatives in this world, and they have a unique status in his heart.
Cui Baojian threatened Zhuo Mufeng with them, which caused Zhuo Mufeng to have a strong murderous intention.
At this moment, he even wanted to find an opportunity to tell Wu Guanting everything about Tianzhao. It would be better than being constantly manipulated by this damn eunuch.
But after he calmed down a little, he knew he couldn't do that.
First of all, he had the handle in Cui Baojian's hands and told him the inside story. It was difficult to tell what Wu Guanting would think and whether he would still be willing to help him escape from Cui Baojian's control.
Moreover, it seemed that besides him, Cui Baojian should have a hidden stake in Tianzhao, and his status was not low. He did not dare to gamble with the lives of Shang Zirong and others.
There is also a further but actually very important issue. If Zhuo Mufeng informs this matter, it will be equivalent to completely succumbing to the Sanjiang Alliance and offending Tianzhao.
Tianzhao is a force of the imperial court and is directly under the control of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Although the other party is aloof and may not know that there is such a person as him, Tianzhao will definitely spare no effort to destroy the traitors.
He was not sure whether the Sanjiang Alliance could keep him.
If there is even the slightest mistake, the entire Mozhu Gang, including him, will definitely die!
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhuo Mufeng's back. He discovered that since Cui Baojian found him, he had stepped into a vortex from which he could not turn back. Once he stopped, he might be swallowed by the vortex and could not help himself.
When he regained consciousness and met Cui Baojian's cold and playful gaze, Zhuo Mufeng felt a murderous intention in his heart, but on the surface he said respectfully: "Eunuch Cui said seriously, working for Tianzhao is a blessing that I can only dream of.
People with Sun Claws will be ghosts with Celestial Claws for life!”
"Okay, our family knows."
Cui Baojian was a little speechless. This guy's last words were obviously a sign of loyalty, but they sounded weird.
Zhuo Mufeng suddenly said: "Eunuch Cui, I have taken the liberty of asking you something. I hope your father-in-law will not take offense."
Cui Baojian's eyelids moved slightly and he said expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"
Zhuo Mufeng: "My subordinate is now considered a member of Tianzhao and is under the command of my father-in-law. I just want to ask if Tianzhao has martial arts secrets. If possible, can I let my subordinates look up to him?"
He still remembered that his Wuzhu value was just over 10,000 points short of breaking through the 100,000 mark.
Cui Baojian sneered: "You are Wu Guanting's adopted son. Can't the martial arts of the Sanjiang Alliance satisfy your appetite?"
Ma De! You want me to work hard, but you don't want to give me any benefits. You damn eunuch is too much of a bully.
Zhuo Mufeng said helplessly: "My father-in-law really doesn't know. That Wu Guanting is one thing on the surface but another behind his back. He openly accepted me as his adopted son and took a fancy to my qualifications. In fact, he was very careful about me.
Last time, my subordinate wanted to read the martial arts of the Sanjiang Alliance, but he went to the library and found that there were only one to three-star martial arts, not even a four-star martial arts book. It was clear that he didn't want to show it to his subordinates!
You also said that there are rules in the alliance, and no exceptions are made unless you have made great achievements. Damn the rules, he, Wu Guanting, the leader of the alliance, can't open a small stove for his adopted son? It's all bullshit!"
Hearing what he said with deep resentment, Cui Baojian narrowed his eyes, carefully observed his expression, and said unhurriedly: "I've heard that Wu Guanting is quite courageous, so he would hide his secrets from you?"
Zhuo Mufeng said angrily: "My father-in-law doesn't believe me. Just send someone to inquire. I won't tell you any lies!"
Cui Baojian pondered for a long time, and the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared.
That's right, after all, martial arts secrets are related to the foundation of the Sanjiang Alliance. Those who are below three stars are just fine. When they reach the four-star level, no force will treat them as treasures.
No matter how powerful Wu Guanting was, he would never have been so kind to Zhuo Mufeng when he first joined!
It's a pity that I originally wanted this boy to memorize the precious secrets of the Sanjiang Alliance and include them in the Heavenly Claw, which can be considered a great achievement of his own.
Cui Baojian secretly regretted it, but who knew that Zhuo Mufeng was also secretly observing his expression.
In addition to seeking benefits from Cui Baojian in smearing Wu Guanting, Zhuo Mufeng's bigger purpose was to judge Cui Baojian's authenticity.
Apart from Wu Guanting, only a few people including Huahua Feng knew that he had read the four-star secret book.
Since the dead eunuch was deceived by him, it meant that there was no problem with those people, which made Zhuo Mufeng breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's explain the matter to our family. We must go to Sanlongpo on the 15th of this month."
Seeing Cui Baojian getting up and preparing to leave, Zhuo Mufeng said eagerly: "Eunuch Cui, about the secret book..."
Cui Baojian was a little impatient and frowned: "To tell you the truth, four-star level secrets can only be awarded to those who have made meritorious deeds! Mufeng, you have not made any merit. Although our family is optimistic about you, we cannot break the rules."
Zhuo Mufeng: "Can I let my subordinates take a look at the three-star secrets, even the two-star secrets and the one-star secrets?"
For fear that the other party would be suspicious, he quickly said: "I have heard and seen a lot. I don't want to be famous all over the world and become a martial arts master. However, the conditions are limited. If I can read more martial arts of the same level and draw parallels, it may be helpful to my subordinates."
.”
Cui Baojian unexpectedly looked at Zhuo Mufeng and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge at such a young age. When you kill the leader of Yangzhou, our family will definitely satisfy your wish."
After that, without giving Zhuo Mufeng a chance, he opened the bed board, jumped in, and when leaving, he pulled the rope to close the bed board.
I'm a fool!
Looking at the bed board that had been restored to its original state, Zhuo Mufeng greeted all the eighteen generations of Cui Baojian's ancestors in his heart. This damn eunuch is too stingy. Does he think he can do whatever he wants if he holds the handle?
Zhuo Mufeng walked around the room with a gloomy face.
One thing I have to admit is that at present, he does not have the strength to disobey the dead eunuch, but when he thinks about the other party's mission, he is still extremely entangled, and his expression is frighteningly ugly.
As far as he knew, the Yangzhou helmsman was also a master on the Earth Spirit List, and he didn't know who the assistant Cui Baojian sent him.
But this is not the key. The key is that once he participates, he will become Miao Qingcheng's life and death enemy!
Zhuo Mufeng had a splitting headache when he thought of the woman who was 60 to 70% similar to Wu Yuanyuan, but more generous and elegant, always smiling gently and looking at herself.
Who in the world doesn't know that she is the old witch's favorite woman. It is said that because of Miao Qingcheng, the old witch has not taken a concubine until now.
Given the old witch's character, appearance, and status, this is unimaginable. This shows the relationship between the couple.
If he killed Miao Qingcheng's younger brother, and the old witch valued him more, once the truth was exposed, he would definitely turn against him.
Cui Baojian's move was so incredible that it blocked all his escape routes!
Looking at the night outside the window, the sky was lonely and dotted with cold stars, Zhuo Mufeng stood blankly for more than two hours, touched his lips, and there still seemed to be a woman's fragrance, shook his head, and lay back on the bed.
There are still more than ten days before the action is taken. It doesn't take long to get from Gusu City to Yangzhou City, so Zhuo Mufeng is not in a hurry.
Since he couldn't think of a clue in his mind, he simply let it go for the time being and focused his energy on cultivation to see if he could raise the Dragon's Yin Qi to a perfect level.
But to his surprise, just three days after practicing, he received a notice from Wu Guanting, asking him to come over if he had something to do.
In the Wu Mansion, in the octagonal pavilion full of flowers, the sun is just right and the fragrance is fragrant.
Dressed in white, handsome and calm, Wu Guanting poured a cup of tea himself, pushed it in front of Zhuo Mufeng, and poured another cup for his wife Miao Qingcheng and daughter Wu Yuanyuan.
Zhuo Mufeng sat down as he was told and sat in a circle with the three of them, as if he was part of their family. The treatment that countless people could only dream of made Zhuo Mufeng feel on pins and needles.
I had just offended Wu Yuanyuan yesterday, and I could no longer stand Wu Yuanyuan's frequent glances, as if she wanted to penetrate his terrifying eyes.
However, Miao Qingcheng's younger brother had to be killed next, which made him afraid to even look at Lao Wu's family, showing a typical thief's guilty conscience.
"Mu Feng, what's wrong with you today? Are you unwilling to wait with me?" Wu Guanting said with a faint smile.
"The foster father is serious. The child is just flattered." Zhuo Mufeng said quickly.
Sitting next to Wu Guanting, Miao Qingcheng, who was wearing a pink and white embroidered gown and a ponytail, only tied with a green hairpin but still breathtakingly beautiful, smiled, her teeth were densely packed, and her smile was full of flowers.
Her face is fair and smooth, and her beautiful eyes are dazzling. As she drinks tea, her two green drop-shaped earrings sway slightly, with a few strands of golden halo reflected back, making her look like a young woman in her twenties and eighties, sitting with Wu Yuanyuan.
Together, they are completely a pair of sisters.
But what Miao Qingcheng said really shocked Zhuo Mufeng: "In my opinion, it's probably Mufeng who did something sorry for us."
"Mufeng doesn't dare!" Zhuo Mufeng stood up quickly.
For some reason, maybe others thought Miao Qingcheng's eyes were gentle, but he always felt that these eyes contained a sharp edge, as if he could see through other people's secrets.
Wu Guanting and Miao Qingcheng looked at each other and smiled, the former implying blame.
What happened in the Wu Mansion could not be hidden from Wu Guanting, so the 'misunderstanding' between Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan yesterday had long been known to the couple, and they were speechless for a long time.
I was also afraid that Wu Yuanyuan would not be able to come to the stage and would have to pretend not to know anything.
Miao Qingcheng took the initiative to invite Zhuo Mufeng to come to today's gathering. Wu Guanting knew the character of his beloved wife and was secretly worried about his adopted son.
The couple's eyes were looking at each other, and Zhuo Mufeng could see them all, and they were thinking secretly. Looking at Wu Yuanyuan's expression, he couldn't help but suddenly realized, and felt relieved.
"Sit down and talk. We are not tigers and will not eat you."
Miao Qingcheng smiled sweetly and her tone was very gentle. Zhuo Mufeng had no choice but to sit down again, but he became more cautious.
Miao Qingcheng ignored him and just looked at Wu Guanting: "Husband, tomorrow I am leaving Yangzhou City to go to Bishan Temple to worship the Buddha. It will be lonely without a companion on the way, so let Yuan Yatou and Mu Feng accompany me."
What?
Going to Yangzhou City?
Before anyone else could react, Zhuo Mufeng's heart was filled with turmoil.
Cui Baojian asked him to kill the leader of Yangzhou, but Miao Qingcheng happened to be going to Yangzhou City and had to accompany him. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
However, Wu Guanting's next words dispelled some of Zhuo Mufeng's doubts.
"It's a pity that my husband has something to do this year and I can't accompany him. If my wife sees the abbot, she will take me to say hello."
I see. Listening to this, Miao Qingcheng goes to Bishan Temple every year. Maybe the dead eunuch saw this opportunity?
