summer day, winter night

On the outskirts of Jingyue Forest dozens of miles away, Lian Ping tensed his strings, let go of his hand, and shot an arrow into the mist in the forest. As he expected, part of the arrow that bounced back was already corroded. , the man in sandalwood looked at the corrosion, went to the side to pick up two sticks, picked up the arrows, and sent them to Lian Ping.

"This kind of fog is expensive to make." Lian Ping raised the corner of his mouth, "This guy named Cang has some skills."

"Brother Lian, we have checked around the woods, and the surrounding area is full of this kind of fog."

"...With our equipment, we can't get in at all. Brother Lian, Master Mo just asked us to investigate the situation, and didn't ask to go deeper...Brother Lian?"

"Huh?" Lian Ping was stunned, and took back his wandering thoughts, "Oh. What did you say?" The next moment, he suddenly said leisurely: "You said, Mr. Xi would rather turn against Master Mo and recommend Cang Zhou Xingzuo Will the next generation of Master Mo, in the future, Master Mo, really compromise with Mr. Xi and pass on the Patriarch of the Mo Family to him?"

After hearing this, the men in sandalwood looked at each other, and after a while, one of them hesitated to say: "Brother Lian, you have learned mechanism skills from Master Mo since childhood, and everyone has noticed your hard work. How can it compare to you?"

"Maybe," he sighed softly, "That's why I took this job to get to know this guy, but now, I don't even have a way to enter their territory."

"Besides, there have been so many conflicts with Mr. Xi, no matter how angry Master Mo was at the time, he always compromised first afterward..."

If Lord Mo really compromised again in the end, I'm afraid, I'm really disappointed in him.

Lian Ping thought.

In many cases, in many things, talent always plays an important role. At Lian Ping's age, Mo's master's mechanism skills can already surpass the entire mechanism world, but Lian Ping, no matter how hard he tries, can only look up to Mo Chu Jun's achievements.

At this time, Rinnai.

The green grass, the long blue sky, and the open space in the middle of the forest have no traces of artificial development. In the past few months, many flowers that were planted at the beginning have already bloomed.

A man in black walked quickly along the path in the middle of the flowers, until he reached the wooden house in the innermost part of the building complex, knelt down on one knee, and cupped his hands to report: "My lord, there are people outside the forest, it seems to be Mr. Mo Chu's seat No. .1, Lian Ping."

In the room, Cang Zhouxing put down the roll of paper in his hand, "Lian Ping? Mr. Mo Chu just sent someone now, who else?"

"There are also a few Mohist disciples in sandalwood clothes."

"Only a few? Let's ignore it for now. If they don't force their way in, we'll pretend we didn't see it."

"Yes." The man in black stood up and took the order to leave.

Inside the room, Su Wuzhe came out from behind the screen, "Then Mo Chujun lost the Vitex flower, how could he react like this, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all."

"Oh," Cang Zhouxing sneered, "That means Mu Ximing definitely hid something crucial from me. The relationship between him and Mo Chujun is not easy."

"This Mujing flower is owned by each generation of Mo masters. This generation they went into business and got the name Mujing. So what role does Mu Ximing play in this?"

"It is estimated that Mu Ximing is more important to Mo Chujun than Mu Jinghua. Tell me, does the so-called successor of Mu Jing he said also serve Mo Chujun?" Cang Zhou Xingmao Based on the information in his hand, "Without Mujinghua, the Mo family's lair, but there is nothing strange!"

After a pause, he slowly brought up a smile, "If that's the case, I will accompany you back to the capital in half a month. With the choice of not getting involved in these things, the emperor's side will not be a problem."

Under Cang Zhouxing's gaze, Su Wuzhen nodded, pretending to be reluctant on his face, and couldn't see a trace of it in his smile, "If this is really the case, I will grow a few bamboos in the backyard, and together with you, I will sing the song water."

"I don't know what flowing water is. At most, I will accompany you to drink the wine that tastes lighter than water." Cang Zhouxing laughed.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Yunchan's voice came: "Master, I brought Hong Yue here, I have something to say."

"Enter."

Yunchan pushed open the door, walked in, and said, "Hong Yue said, Lian Ping, as the No. ..."

"What about Hong Yue, do you think the same as her?" Cang Zhouxing interrupted Yunchan directly.

"Me?" Hong Yue raised his scarred face slightly, and looked at Cang Zhouxing who was directly in front of him, but he was vaguely in a daze, and the words that came out of his mouth were like the sound of machines rubbing against each other ,"I……"

Seeing his distraught look, Su Wuzhan had an idea, and snapped: "Hong Yue! What are you and your master hiding!"

The words that sounded like thunder made Hong Yue's whole body tremble, and her usually emotionless eyes became erratic, showing a bit of panic abruptly.

All the people present looked at him, with such an obvious performance, it almost told everyone bluntly that Mu Ximing must have ordered him to hide something.

But Hong Yue has always been like a single-celled creature who just obeys orders. Let him lie, and there is almost no possibility of deceiving others. before.

He wanted to secretly tell Cang Zhou what to do through Hong Yue!

At this time, Hong Yue was engaged in a battle between heaven and man in his simple mind. On the one hand was Mu Ximing's order: "Don't tell Cang Zhouxing unless it is absolutely necessary." On the other hand was his own doubts: "As a last resort, when will Is it a last resort, now? Since you can tell him, can you say it now?" God knows, since he followed the boss, he has not carried out such complicated thought activities for a long time, except this time, the orders given by the boss are all clear It's clear, you don't have to think about it at all.

Mu Ximing, a strange old man, is not low in IQ. He can order things like this because he has his own considerations.In fact, his behavior like this comes from his deep understanding of Mr. Mo Chu. Mr. Mo hates people who act for the purpose of fighting for power, even if they don't take the initiative. This like and dislike comes from the source of his ambition, innovation and democracy.In his crazy head, he dreamed of becoming the savior of the world, so that life and ideals can be highly unified, and power and selfishness are too close. What he wants is human selflessness.

In the end, the vague situation of "last resort" entangled in Hong Yue's mind was settled by Cang Zhouxing, who is extremely good at controlling his subordinates. The mouth of a loyal person is the most difficult to pry open, and once pried open, there is no reservation.

It turned out that all of this was a compromise that Mu Ximing came up with out of his friendship with Mo Chujun for many years.

In Mu Ximing's view, Mo Chujun's behavior these years is walking on the edge of a cliff and seeking his own death.The dynasty is in the limelight, but Mr. Mo Chu thinks about the innovation and democracy that have been distorted by the Mohists over the years. His thoughts may be positive, but the current situation is not right. Mr. Mo Chu's ambition to use commercial invasion as a boat, The royal family cannot be shaken at all.

Which change in history is not the capture of cities with real knives and guns, commercial threats are vulnerable to politics and the military, and the people who suffer in the end can only be the people.

Therefore, finding a more conservative heir can at least protect Mu Jing's brother from future turmoil.Lian Ping couldn't do it, he followed Mo Chujun since he was a child, and Mo Chujun definitely wore the same pair of pants.

So, his eyes were on Cang Zhouxing.
