My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Mu Zheng and the others naturally had no idea what was happening in Mount Tai. They were looking around in the room that Old Sparrow had prepared in advance.

The house is very clean.

But it's more like a tent than a house.

It is just built at a designated location.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Li Cheng and Old Sparrow sat beside the table and greeted Mu Zheng. "We've only known a little about you. Previously, I thought you were a bodyguard hired by Li Lian, but over time, I've discovered that's not the case. On many matters, they're more willing to listen to your opinions, as if you were the leader."

Mu Zheng was not surprised by Li Cheng's doubts.

After all, Li Cheng was not wrong.

"Indeed, I am not a bodyguard. I am Li Lian's good friend and Gong Wen's brother." Mu Zheng walked up to the two of them and sat down.

"Yeah." Li Cheng wasn't surprised by the answer. "So, you also participated in the Ju County incident?"

Mu Zheng just smiled and said nothing.

Li Cheng added, "Then I want to know the role you played in the Ju County incident."

The question was quite subtle, but Mu Zheng immediately understood what he meant. No wonder Li Cheng refused to let him go when he was about to invite Li Lian and Gong Wen to join him. This was his purpose.

Li Cheng was Wang Mang's man.

Li Lian was against Wang Mang.

The two of them are not destined to be on the same path.

Mu Zheng is Li Lian's good friend. If Li Cheng wants to win him over to work together, he must know Mu Zheng's attitude.

If Mu Zheng also rebelled against Wang Mang, then she would definitely have to make a decision about what to do next.

Similarly, Mu Zheng is also making a decision now.

Wang Mang was determined to rebel, but under the circumstances, should he tell Li Cheng the truth?

After all, this woman is very cunning. If she knew that she would eventually become her enemy, she might sell herself out.

"I participated. I even beat up two soldiers." Mu Zheng's nonchalant attitude put Li Cheng's nerves at ease. If Mu Zheng had denied it vehemently, she might have been offended. After all, he and Li Lian had such a close relationship. If he said he hadn't played a role in the Ju County Incident, she would never believe him. But Mu Zheng's nonchalant attitude just showed one thing: he was a casual person and had no hostility towards Wang Mang.

Such people are easy to win over.

"You admitted to participating in the rebellion in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?" Li Cheng looked at Mu Zheng with a smile.

Mu Zheng said, "Are you going to arrest me?"

Li Cheng curled his lips, "I think that under the circumstances and conditions at that time, it was understandable for Master Mu to attack the soldiers defending the city."

Mu Zheng nodded. It seemed that Li Cheng was intending to expose the incident in Ju County.

"I think Brother Mu is brave and resourceful. I believe you are not an ordinary person. Are you willing to serve the court?" Li Cheng directly stated what he wanted to ask.

"The imperial court?" Mu Zheng shook his head without hesitation.

"You don't want to?" Li Cheng's eyes became sharper involuntarily, and even the old sparrow next to her could sense the chill from her.

"I will only work hard for the people of the world." Mu Zheng said this in a pretentious manner.

Ok?

Li Cheng frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows with a look of admiration, "Brother Mu is indeed a great man!"

Mu Zheng pursed his lips.

He knew that his ambiguous words would make Li Cheng put himself in the situation.

And the fact was just as he thought. When Li Cheng heard the words about working hard for the people of the world, he naturally put Mu Zheng into the perspective of a court official.

Who will fight for the people?

Isn’t it the imperial court?

No wonder Mu Zheng agreed to help him assassinate the Hun general, because he has the world in his heart.

Therefore, Mu Zheng does not have to help His Majesty, but as long as he does it for the people, it is equivalent to working for Wang Mang in disguise.

This boy is very good!

"Okay, Miss Li, you can now tell me your plan in detail." Mu Zheng didn't want to say more about this matter. What he wanted to express was very clear. As for what Li Cheng thought, that was her business.

Hearing Mu Zheng's question, Li Cheng's expression darkened. "We came to Xiongnu this time mainly to find out the purpose of the four generals returning to Tuwei City. As for assassinating them, it was just my imagination. It is almost impossible with the abilities of the three of us alone."

"However, there are many masters in the four generals' mansions. They are the sharp swords of the four generals' mansions and the thorns inserted into our great new land. If possible, we should pull them out." This was the supplement of the old sparrow.

Mu Zheng didn't say anything about this.

After all, we Chinese people believe that once we come here, we have to do something.

"We don't fight a battle without preparation. Mu Zheng and I will first familiarize ourselves with the environment and gather information. There is a killer organization in Tuwei City called Pawnshop No. 18, which can post and accept all missions. There are many people in the Xiongnu who have grudges against the four major families. They dare not come openly, but they must have made many small moves in secret. Therefore, Pawnshop No. 18 will update the whereabouts, hobbies, etc. of the main figures in the General's Mansion in real time."

Mu Zheng's eyes lit up: "You want me to hire someone? Well, that's not bad. It skips the step of collecting information ourselves."

Li Cheng nodded and said, "You can say that, but I'm the one who hired the killer. You have other plans. For example, become a killer."

ha?

Mu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "You are truly a genius at employing people."

"What about me?" Old Sparrow looked at Li Cheng. "I can do something too."

Li Cheng sighed, "Just focus on collecting information and avoid hanging around outside. Even though more than ten years have passed, many elderly people still remember you."

Uh.

Mu Zheng looked at Old Sparrow in surprise: "Do you have a history with Tuweicheng?"

Li Cheng curled his lips, but the old sparrow laughed sarcastically: "More than that, my original surname was Huo, but now I dare not use the surname Huo."

Uh.

Mu Zheng was stunned. He hadn't expected this old sparrow to be a member of the Huo family. Furthermore, he didn't hide his hatred for the Huo family in his words. As for the reason, Mu Zheng saw that he didn't want to say it. It didn't matter, he would tell it later.

The three of them chatted back and forth. After checking some details, Mu Zheng asked Li Cheng, "How do I get to that pawnshop?"

Li Cheng tilted his head and thought for a moment. "That place is not easy to find. After all, the Four Generals' Mansions don't allow it to exist. But think about it, even though it's not allowed to exist, it still managed to stay strong for decades. Such a hidden skill is not something that ordinary people can achieve. It is said that except for the killers in the pawnshop, no one else knows where it is."

Mu Zheng was speechless: "After all this time, you still don't know where they are?"

"Who said they didn't know?" Li Cheng puffed out his muscular chest. "Isn't there Old Sparrow? Back when he was being hunted by the Four Generals, he met a pawnshop assassin. That man once considered recruiting him."

After hearing what Li Cheng said, the old sparrow took off his outer clothes, revealing the torn vest underneath, and then he pulled hard, the clothes tore into pieces, and a piece of brand fell out.

"Give!"

Old Sparrow handed the sign to Mu Zheng. Mu Zheng took it and looked at it. It was made of wood, with the word "dang" written on the front and the number on the back.

"Take it and go show off your skills."
