I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Mu Jinghua accepted it well. After listening to Qiao Er's arrogant speech, he smiled brightly.

Seeing him so happy, Xu Shu reluctantly accepted it even though he felt that things were not that simple.

But at night, he still took advantage of Mu Jinghua's sleep and ran to climb over Mu Tonghai's wall.

However, having learned from the previous experience, Xu Shu asked the guards to guard the door this time to make sure that Mu Jinghua was fine before turning around and leaving.

But he didn't know that just as he left, Mu Jinghua came out with a cold face and asked the guard in charge: "Did Xu Shu ask you to watch me?"

This was a bit ambiguous, and the guard didn't understand what Xu Shu meant for a moment, so he could only say, "Master Xu asked me to be careful about your safety."

Mu Jinghua snorted coldly, clearly not believing him: "Where is he going, do you know?"

The guard was speechless, and instantly realized that he was in trouble. He looked distressed and said, "Sir, Master Xu didn't tell me, please don't embarrass me. Who knows... who knows, Master Xu really has something important to discuss."

The guard himself couldn't figure out what the important matter was that had to be discussed in the middle of the night.

Mu Tonghai couldn't understand why Xu Shu liked to run to him in the middle of the night: "You have a beautiful woman in your arms at night, why do you always run to me?"

Xu Shu patted the table and motioned him to sit down and talk: "I won't stay in Shangjing for too long. When will your so-called plot be completed? What is the standard for completion?"

"Just for this?" Mu Tonghai was a little speechless, "Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? This is not like your style."

Xu Shu didn't reply, but urged Mu Tonghai: "What are the plot points to go through? I hope to make a quick decision."

Mu Tonghai looked at him deeply, sighed and began to count for him: "Mu Jinghua entering the palace is a point, and then..."

Xu Shu slammed the table: "It's impossible to enter the palace."

"You don't have to enter the palace to be a concubine." Mu Tonghai held Xu Shu, "I've already thought about it. I'll publicize the relationship between Mu Ge'er and me in the capital. In a few days, when the empress dowager is ill, Mu Ge'er will be able to go there with a legitimate reason."

"But he still needs you to do some work." Mu Tonghai looked at Xu Shu, "Can you accept these arrangements?"

"Can I follow?"

"That's definitely not possible." Mu Tonghai was helpless. "The Queen Mother is my son. How can she let you, a man outside of her, stay with her and take care of her?"

Xu Shu hummed, showing understanding.

Seeing that he understood, Mu Tonghai breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's about the noble family's cleanup. I'll leave this matter to you. Anyway... you should have been almost ready."

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows: "You know a lot of things."

Mu Tonghai said helplessly: "You sent such a large batch of weapons to Shangjing, which are far beyond the forging technology of this era. The system has been warning me in my mind for three days."

Seeing that he knew everything, Xu Shu also admitted it generously and only asked: "To what extent did you go about washing the dishes?"

"According to the original book's plot, they would be killed, of course. But we don't have to be that cruel. According to the indicators, as long as the number of noble families in Shangjing is less than a certain proportion, it will be fine."

"Why doesn't Xiao Yu care?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows. "Then send these guys to fight. Do you still need me to help?"

"Everyone involved must go, including women, brothers, and children. It's not as simple as you say." Mu Tonghai sighed, "Mu Jinghua hasn't turned evil. The only one who can do this is you from the end of the world."

"You want me to kill them all." Xu Shu frowned, "Dig a big pit and bury them? How many people are there in total?"

"More than 50,000 people." Mu Tonghai pulled out another cigarette from his pocket, this time with anger, "Xu Shu, when you get the rights to adapt the plot, you can change all this back."

"Is this why you generously gave me the rights to adapt the film?" Xu Shu was amused by his remarks. "So that you can persuade me to become an executioner."

"You come from the end of the world. This means to you..."

"So what if I'm from the end of the world?" Xu Shu didn't want to look back on that time. "Even if I'm known as the God of Death in the end of the world, I only kill people and zombies that stand in my way."

"Aren't they also people who are blocking your way?" Mu Tonghai said, "They are blocking you from completing the plot and blocking you and Mu Jinghua from living a carefree life."

"You are just making excuses." Xu Shu snatched a Chinese citrus fruit from Mu Tonghai's hand, "I won't attack women and children."

"So are the brothers in this world."

"I've heard from Qiao Wan that you have some inexplicable principles." Mu Tonghai handed Xu Shu a lighter, "Then what should we do? Ask Mu Jinghua to do it? If it's your request, he will definitely do it without hesitation."

"Or do you mind that your Mu Jinghua has killed women and children?"

Xu Shu remained silent.

Mu Jinghua, who was walking towards this side angrily, was stunned. Thinking of what he had done, he didn't dare to get closer for a moment.

The guard who volunteered to take him to find Xu Shu saluted him and urged him silently: "Prime Minister Mu is waiting for you."

Mu Jinghua glared at him, turned and walked out.

But the guard stretched out his hand to block his way, said "I'm sorry" to him, and then raised his hand to knock him unconscious.

Xu Shu heard a muffled groan in a trance, and subconsciously looked at Mu Tonghai: "What's going on outside?"

"Maybe the maid fell?" Mu Tonghai opened the door and went out to look. He looked around the yard but saw nothing, so he didn't take it to heart. He just asked Xu Shu, "You sent weapons to Beijing. Didn't that mean you were prepared to go to war if things didn't work out? Now the enemy has changed from Qiao Jianhong to those aristocratic families..."

“It will only be easier for you.”

“It’s hard for people with principles to survive in troubled times.”

"I think you have already experienced this."

Xu Shu paused after hearing this, then smiled: "It seems you know a lot about me."

Mu Tonghai shrugged his shoulders, and seeing that Xu Shu was just holding the cigarette but had no intention of smoking it, he took the lighter back and said, "My friend, since you have been betrayed, why bother to insist on those meaningless principles?"

"Or do you still not know that it was the mother and daughter you rescued who exposed your information to the hunters, and it was they who fired the final, fatal shot at you."

"If you hadn't traveled through time... you would have died long ago, your body would have been carved up by zombies, and not even a slag would be left."

"Does your persistence really make sense?"

Xu Shu glanced at him and said, "I don't need meaning."

Mu Tonghai was stunned.

"I insist only because I want to insist. The meaning is not what I care about, so betrayal doesn't matter."

"I don't mind dying as much as you think."

"Moreover." He stood up. "If I were really as petty as you said, I would have taken my anger out on Mu Jinghua the day I saw him. Not only would I not save him, I would even have taken revenge on him."

"Just as you are advising me now, take revenge on these innocent people."
