My lady, I'm going to rebel.
Chapter 18: Dirty Water
Jiang Dabai is Teng Qin's personal groom. Because of Teng Qin's relationship, he is quite famous on the island.
Just like many people know the Queen's dog.
Jiang Dabai walked up to Mu Zheng with a fake smile on his face, "What's your name, warrior? Which caravan are you from?"
As Teng Qin's subordinate, Jiang Dabai naturally had to know his limits. If Mu Zheng really came with the caravan, then he should be polite. If he really sneaked in as his brother suspected, then don't blame him for being rude.
Mu Zheng felt a deep hostility from the moment the other party walked over, especially after he called out "brave man", he knew that the other party was here to cause trouble.
This is a business occasion, and everyone uses business terms to address each other, such as owner, boss, shopkeeper, or at the very least, "young master."
But what about the word "warrior"?
Ha ha!
Mu Zheng looked around and saw Jiang Xiaobai pretending to be busy. He immediately understood everything.
However, this also made Mu Zheng a little embarrassed. If it were a normal day, he could just ignore it and leave, but Jiang Xiaobai knew about Hu Shuer's existence, and he didn't want to bring trouble to Hu Shuer.
"My name is Mu Zheng, just tell me what you have to say."
Hearing that Mu Zheng did not report the name of the caravan, Jiang Dabai became more certain of his brother's guess.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask how you got in."
Mu Zheng secretly said that it was really annoying, but still pretended to be innocent: "What? Can't we enter here?"
Jiang Dabai smiled and said, "You can enter! But you need an invitation. Otherwise, what will happen to the spies who sneak into the Yun Clan?"
"Oh!" Mu Zheng raised his eyebrows and glanced in Jiang Xiaobai's direction: "Whether I am a spy from the Cloud Clan or not, you can find out by asking your friends."
"You!" Jiang Dabai didn't expect this man to be so arrogant even after his lie was exposed. A smirk flashed across his face, and then he deliberately shouted loudly: "What? You don't have an invitation?"
Mu Zheng's face darkened.
Sure enough, the chaos deliberately created by Jiang Dabai attracted everyone's attention.
"What's going on?" Teng Qin walked forward.
"Young Master!" Jiang Dabai was like a Shiba Inu at the moment, with a flattering smile on his face: "This man didn't have an invitation. I don't know how he got in. I asked him, but he was even more aggressive towards me."
As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. Jiang Dabai has played this saying very well. The words "Be fierce to me" immediately changed the faces of those who were flattering him.
"What? This man actually looks down on Master Teng's servants. He's simply rebellious."
"Exactly. Who the hell is he? How dare he be so rude to Master Teng?"
Mu Zheng finally saw what it meant to put accusations on someone without any reason.
Not to mention that he wasn't fierce, even if he was, how could it be considered rude to Master Teng?
Mu Zheng looked at Jiang Dabai and said coldly, "Please don't speak nonsense and ruin your son's reputation. I'm just here to appraise and appreciate horses."
"Haha, you also know how to appraise and appreciate horses? Do you have any horses at home?" Jiang Dabai mocked without mercy.
"Shut up!" Teng Qin always had a good reputation. He clasped his fists towards Mu Zheng and said, "Brother, I am an ignorant servant. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
His politeness naturally won everyone's praise. Mu Zheng saw it and smiled in his heart. It seems that Teng Qin is really good at pretending. If he really wanted to strictly control his subordinates, he would not keep Jiang Dabai by his side.
Although Jiang Dabai looked like he was willing to learn, there was a glint of brilliance in his eyes. He leaned over to Teng Qin's ear and whispered a few words, and Teng Qin's pupils immediately changed slightly.
Mu Zheng felt something was amiss and was about to let the matter go when he heard Teng Qin say, "The Horse Appraisal Conference is a grand event for our clan, but its success often draws the jealousy of our peers. To prevent them from plotting mischief, we use invitations as proof of entry. Since you don't have an invitation, I have reason to suspect you of ulterior motives."
Courtesy first and then soldiers?
wrong!
It must be something Jiang Dabai said.
But he was just a servant, and there was no reason for Teng Qin to pester him for him.
Mu Zheng clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I was so presumptuous. I just heard about the reputation of the horse appraisal conference on the island and wanted to come and see it. I have no other purpose."
"Haha! Those spies said the same thing before. They said they were here to observe and learn, but ended up trying to sabotage our event. You say you're not a spy, so how did you get in? Who's assisting you?"
After Teng Qin finished speaking, he turned and bowed to the crowd, "I apologize for disturbing your enjoyment of the horses. However, as a member of the Black Tribe, I cannot overlook any suspicious activity. I apologize for any inconvenience."
"What are you talking about, Master Teng? You will be in charge of the entire Black Clan in the future, so you must have a sensitive mind."
"That's right, Master Teng, please go ahead and investigate. You are always vigilant and always put the interests of the Black Clan first. You deserve our respect."
Hearing the compliments from the people around him, Mu Zheng couldn't help but admire Teng Qin's green tea tactics. In just a few words, he portrayed himself as the leader of the Black Tribe.
"Master Teng, I am indeed here to appraise horses."
"Oh! Needless to say, it's a fact that you don't have an invitation. May I ask how you managed to enter the venue? I want to see who is so bold as to bring a stranger into the venue. He is disregarding the safety of the clan. What is his purpose, and yours?"
Mu Zheng narrowed his eyes. He had a feeling that Teng Qin didn't seem to care whether he was a spy or not. He cared more about who brought him to the horse appraisal meeting.
Mu Zheng couldn't possibly betray Hu Shu'er. He said, "No one! I just took advantage of the lack of security and slipped in during the chaos."
"Hahaha..." Teng Qin laughed. "Come here, this villain must have passed through the border to enter the Black Clan. Check and see if he has any contact with anyone in our clan."
"Yes!" Jiang Dabai responded, but soon he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, sir, my cousin Jiang Xiaobai is over there. He's doing business on the sidelines."
"Oh? Very good! Please!" Teng Qin said.
Jiang Xiaobai quickly stood in front of everyone and quickly said three names.
Hu Shuer and Hu Zhigao were almost heard by no one.
However, the three words "Qi Yuxiu" ignited the whole audience.
"Miss Qi, how dare she bring a stranger who has only been on the island for a day into the meeting? What on earth is she planning? Doesn't she know this is dangerous? She's completely disregarding the safety of the clan!"
Hearing Teng Qin's shout, Mu Zheng finally knew what he wanted to do.
He actually wanted to use himself to slander Qi Yuxiu.
Yes, Mu Zheng guessed correctly.
Ever since Teng Qin learned that Mu Zheng and Qi Yuxiu knew each other, he wanted to make things difficult for Qi Yuxiu.
Seeing the surprised and disbelieving faces of the crowd, he felt incredibly happy. That stinking woman, relying on her martial arts prowess and being the daughter of the current lord, had always opposed him, and now, using her identity as a daughter, she had declared her candidacy for the next Black Tribe leader.
She is really capable!
"Tell me, how did you deceive Miss Qi? Why would she disregard the family rules for you? What is your purpose?"
Teng Qin also knew that trying to link Qi Yuxiu to the spy thing would not convince people, so he directly concluded that Mu Zheng had deceived Qi Yuxiu.
I dare to ask, how can a woman who is so easily deceived and breaks the rules for men be suitable to be a leader?
