The queen must start from the head

Chapter 102
After leaving Yuanxiu's small shop, Mu Lian returned to her residence.

"Hey, system, are you there? Are you okay?"

After a while, the system's lazy voice sounded, "Here you are."

Mulian heard it respond, and felt relieved knowing that it was fine.Unknowingly, she has regarded this artificial intelligence system that has been with her and bickered with her as her friend.

"Why have you been in a sluggish state recently? Why don't you come out to do some activities?"

She asked the question in her heart.

The system still lazily said, "Because you, the host, have been earnestly saving purchase value, so this system has lived a semi-retired life in advance. If you have nothing to do in the future, don't bother me, I am enjoying life."

What about "enjoying life", I believe you have a ghost, Mu Lian murmured in her heart.The system is probably just lazy, and right now it's too lazy to move, and doesn't want to do anything.

Mu Lian thought about it for a while, the system should be suffering from lazy cancer, although I don't know if it is early, middle or late stage, but this lazy cancer... can it be treated?
According to her experience and judgment, the disease of the system may not be curable.

Before she could figure out what to do with the system, a disciple who was in charge of delivering the message knocked on the door, saying that someone from the Lin family had come to visit her.

With a thought in her heart, Mu Lian remembered that she had written a letter to the Lin family.

That day after I came out of Tianhai City, I went to Heshui Village, and when I was about to leave Heshui Village, Zhang Lizheng, who had stayed in the village, found her and asked her to help take care of his daughter Zhang Xiaohua who married into the Lin family.

Mu Lian agreed to him.

After returning to the imperial city and settling down, she wrote the letter to the Lin family and asked them to take care of Zhang Xiaohua.

It's just that she didn't expect that after two or three months, people from the Lin family would suddenly come to her door.

"Take me to the living room, I'll be there later." Mu Lian ordered.

At the other end, Lin Jingwen, who was wearing a dark cloak, walked in front, and Zhang Xiaohua, who was wearing a fiery red fox fur, walked behind him with his head bowed.The two of them walked one after the other on the white jade steps on the middle line of the Wushuang faction.

The white jade steps were recently completed under the auspices of Wu Mei.Extending from the tall archway of the sect to the deepest part of the sect, there are three circular aqueducts in the middle, and they continue to rise, reaching the highest point in the main hall of the sect.

This main hall was also newly built, and the two vermilion doors with copper nails were tightly closed. This place was used by the head of the sect to hold a general meeting of the sect or to publicly preach and teach the Dharma in the future.

The living room for meeting guests in the sect is located in a side hall not far from the main hall.

The disciple who led the way brought Lin Jingwen and Zhang Xiaohua to this living room and left. Afterwards, someone brought tea and snacks, leaving the two of them here.

Lin Jingwen stretched out his slender fingers, lifted the white porcelain tea cover on the table, sniffed the hot tea fragrance from inside, and said, "The tea is not bad."

In the past three months, Tianxia Wushuangpai has made a lot of profits by selling three inconspicuous little things.Based on what he saw and heard along the way, he naturally guessed that a lot of the money he earned was used to build sects.

Matches are cheap and good, flammable and portable, and are essential for home travel.

The light of the mirror can be used to identify people, and it comes in various sizes and styles. It is a hundred times clearer and more refined than the old bronze mirrors.

Soaps are even more divided into grades and grades. In the imperial city, a piece of beautifully packaged flower scented soap can be sold for a tael of silver.

In Lin Jingwen's view, the Wushuang faction was not built on the remote and uninhabited western suburbs of the capital, but on mountains of gold and silver.I just don't know where the source of this mountain of gold and silver is hidden in the sect.

Lin Jingwen was thinking about how to discuss things after seeing Mu Sheng, when someone outside suddenly sang, "Master Mu is here!"

He quickly stood up from the chair, and Zhang Xiaohua also got up when he saw him get up.

As soon as the two of them stood with their hands down, a young woman in a blue robe with long hair tied up stepped in.

"Meet Mu Sheng!"

Lin Jingwen only dared to sneak a glance at the other party, and quickly bowed his head and saluted.

Zhang Xiaohua followed behind him and bowed to Mulian.

Mu Lian took a seat on the main seat, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Sit down."

Only now did Lin Jingwen take his seat, Zhang Xiaohua still followed suit and sat beside Lin Jingwen.

"I heard that you came to see me today on behalf of the Lin family."

Mu Lian's calm voice made Lin Jingwen's heart tense, and the latter replied, "It was my father's request that Jing Wen come to visit Mu Sheng. Jing Wen has long admired the holy name, and we will meet today..."

"There is no need to say polite words, let alone, you and I have met many times. Why you came today, you might as well tell me straight to the point. In addition, you don't need to call me 'Mu Sheng', just call me 'Mu Sect'."

Lin Jingwen was startled. He didn't know whether the "seen many times" Mu Lian said referred to his peeping in Heshui Village in the past, or to the fact that the embroidery was robbed in the Honghe Tower of Tianhai City that day, but he was there. Onlookers on the opposite floor.

Thinking of this, he lost his mind for a while, until Zhang Xiaohua tapped the back of his hand, and then he came back to his senses.

He hurriedly reorganized his thoughts, and said, "Master Mu, I came here today to resolve the old unhappiness between our Lin family and your faction with you. My father said that as long as the unhappiness can be resolved, no matter what the head of Mu Whatever request you make, our Lin family can respond."

After hearing what he said, Mu Lian chuckled and said, "The last person who said he wanted to resolve the unpleasantness with me invited me to a banquet at his house. What do you think the result will be?"

Lin Jingwen's face turned pale instantly.

How did he not know that the "last person" that Mu Lian mentioned was Bi Ying, the current prime minister?
The result of the banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion three months ago made all of them, the former onlookers, tremble with fear.

After the banquet, Mingyue Tower was closed immediately. I heard that Ji Wuming, the owner, is still being hunted down by Wukonghou; The one who was there never showed his face again.

In the morning court the next day, Bi Ying suddenly attacked Mu Lian for becoming the first in the Zhennan urban and rural examination, and impeached the Minister of Rites.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Wukong, holding many evidences of the fire at the Gongyuan in Zhennan City, suddenly jumped out to report Lin Tang, Xu Gong, Yan Song and other key figures involved in it, vaguely wanting to burn the fire on the prime minister himself.

At the critical moment, Bi Ying retreated to advance, cut off her tail to survive, put aside her relationship with Yan Song and others, and re-acknowledged Mu Lian's position as the leader.This matter has only come to an end, but it also left the beginning and end, that is, his Lin family played the role of the mastermind in the original fire case of the Gongyuan.

Coupled with what the Lin family has done to Mu Lian and her Wushuang faction, the grievances between the two parties are really difficult to resolve.

So after Mu Lian said this, Lin Jingwen struggled with a pale face, "Could it be that there is no room for maneuver? You know, someone in the imperial city has already deciphered the secret formula of the matches and soap you sell in the market." , as long as you are willing to mediate, our Lin family can..."

"No need, to be honest, I haven't paid attention to those gadgets that are sold."

Others think that she is the unparalleled faction who earns gold and silver by relying on a few treasures, but to her, Mulian, these treasures are really just gadgets.

Let's talk about mirrors. In the residence of her disciples, who doesn't have two or three large mirrors in their room?Soap, that's free at the door.As for matches, I'm sorry, their school has already entered the electrical age ahead of schedule.

Seeing Mu Lian's resolute attitude against reconciliation, Lin Jingwen's face turned from white to red. After calming down, he took a breath and said, "Master Mu, I advise you to stay on the front line. Although a saint can rule the country, he can You can't cover the sky with one hand!"

Instead of being angry, Mu Lian smiled, she slowly sat up from the chair, her not tall figure gave Lin Jingwen in front of her a strong sense of oppression.

saint!This is the power of a saint!Lin Jingwen's heart was clamoring. He thought of the ancestor of the Lin family who was sleeping under the ground of his family's ancestral hall. He had felt the overwhelming momentum and oppressive feeling on Mu Lian once when he was young when he was close to the ancestral hall.

Although he was oppressed, Lin Jingwen gritted his teeth and said, "Master Mu, I advise you to think about it carefully. What benefits can you get if you break up with our Lin family? Although my Lin family treats you and your sect under I have passed, but I have not brought you any substantial harm. Instead, I have lost a lot of manpower and material resources. As the saying goes, take a step back, and the sea and the sky will be brighter..."

"You don't need to say any more." Mu Lian flicked her sleeves, Lin Jingwen found that her mouth was sealed by an inexplicable force, and she couldn't open it anymore, a sense of panic welled up in her heart.

But what frightened him even more was what Mu Lian said next.

"You came today just to test my attitude. It seems that you big families, as long as you have interests to pursue, any promises or reconciliation are all bullshit!"

She made a rare swearing, paused and said, "Your Lin family knows very well that there is no possibility of resolving the enmity between us. The multiple sieges, the Sancai Bookstore was robbed, and Lin Qi’s shopkeeper’s family was killed...I must ask your Lin family for these debts."

Lin Jingwen's complexion turned cold. It turned out that the other party knew everything a long time ago. Fortunately, he was still complacent.

Zhang Xiaohua, who was sitting next to him, was already fidgeting. Although she didn't know how to reconcile, she also knew that the talks between her beloved and this head Mu had collapsed.

In desperation, she knelt down at once, knelt step by step, moved to Mu Lian and kowtowed and begged, "Master Mu, since you are willing to accept my father's entrustment to care for me, it shows that you are kind-hearted." People. I beg you, please do me a favor and let Young Master Lin and his family go! I beg you!"

Mu Lian looked at the young woman in front of her who was crying so hard.

At that time, the reason why she agreed to help Zhang Lizheng was more due to the fact that Zhang Xiaohua was her first task target.From the moment she wrote a letter to Lin Fu, the little affection between Zhang Xiaohua and her was exhausted.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was still kowtowing, Mu Lian waved her sleeves, the former could no longer kowtow and had to raise her head.

"Let me ask you, after you came to the imperial city, did you ever write a letter to your old father?"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't expect Mu Lian to ask a question suddenly, and replied somewhat evasively, "Maybe, maybe it was written."

Hearing such an answer, Mu Lian shook her head repeatedly in her heart. Zhang Lizheng had clearly told her that after her daughter went to the imperial city, there was no news from her, so that his old father didn't even know whether she was dead or alive.

Mu Lian asked again, "You have lived in the Lin family for some time, tell your heart, how does the family surnamed Lin treat you? Is there a good person in their family?"

"This..." Zhang Xiaohua's face hesitated. How could she say that the Lin family treated her favorably given that she had lived such a miserable life in the Lin mansion?Now that her treatment in Lin's residence has improved, Lin Jingwen is willing to take her with her when she goes out because of Mu Lian's letter.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's hesitant expression but unwilling to tell the truth, Mu Lian couldn't help but shook her head. She knew that the woman in front of her was hopeless.A woman's lingering hair cannot be taken off!
This woman is about the same age as Wu Mu, and she has experienced similar experiences, she fell headlong into the masculinity, and may not be able to get up even if she dies.

With a wave of her sleeve, she swept Zhang Xiaohua onto Lin Jingwen, who raised his hand to catch him, and looked at Mu Lian in a daze.It seems that, as my father said, this woman has a heart of stone, and it is useless to try hard tricks on her.

"There are no guests here, so you can take someone with you." Mu Lian waved her hand and said.

Although she wanted to settle accounts with the Lin family, she was not in a hurry.

Lin Jingwen supported Zhang Xiaohua, and the two walked toward the door in a panic.

When one foot stepped out of the threshold, Lin Jingwen suddenly turned around and asked, "Master Mu, may I know why you want to avenge the Lynch family?"

This was something he couldn't figure out just now, since the other party had almost no friendship with Lynch's family.If we really want to talk about revenge, it should be that he took away the other party's embroidery and gave it to Su Zhiyao.

"Well," Mu Lian raised her hand and rubbed her chin, "Master Lin once gave me a carriage and 100 taels of silver. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring. Dozens of members of his family died unknown. It’s not in vain, I have to avenge him.”

returning a Favour many times more?

Lin Jingwen was stunned again, but when he turned around, his face was full of sourness.

He was wrong and did everything wrong!
Thinking about it now, when he was in Heshui Village, he should have come to win Mu Lian directly, and he should have stood up to stop Heichan when he was messing around in Honghe Tower.Unfortunately, he didn't.It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world?Now, it's too late to say anything.

Just like that, Lin Jingwen brought Zhang Xiaohua back to Lin's house in a dispirited manner, and told Lin Zheng clearly about Mu Lian's reply.The latter sat slumped on the seat behind him at that time, silent for a long time.

When no one was around at night, Lin Zheng went to the family ancestral hall alone, and no one knew when he came out.But after he came out, the Lin family started the evacuation plan for the core children of the family.This big family that has stood in the imperial capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty for hundreds of years has signs that the building is about to collapse.

In the Wushuang faction, it wasn't long after Lin Jingwen left with Zhang Xiaohua.

Master Bodhi came to bid farewell to Mu Lian with his two disciples.

Mu Lian persuaded him to stay several times, but the other party has already decided to go and is going to continue to travel around the world, so she can't persuade him anymore.

"Master, there is a long way to go, and the journey is not easy. I have someone prepare some dry food for the three of you, please don't refuse." Mu Lian said, asking Wu Mei to hand over the two prepared packages. To two young monks, one fat and one thin.

"Amitabha, if that's the case, I would like to thank Master Mu." Master Bodhi bowed to Mu Lian.

He originally came to Tianxia Wushuang Sect because he felt that there was a karmic connection.He did some calculations on this matter, and figured out that it was related to the donation he received from Zhang Lizheng's family in Heshui Village.Today, the causal line that implicated him was finally broken, and he felt a hundred times more relaxed all over his body.

The karma here is over, and I should move forward again, looking for a holy place in my heart.

Seeing that Master Bodhi was about to leave, Mu Lian opened her mouth to send her last wishes to this friend, "Gloomy yellow flowers are nothing but prajna; green and green bamboos are all Dharma bodies. Everything in the world has Buddha Dharma. I wish Master Bodhi to realize the Tao as soon as possible!" "

Master Bodhi laughed when he heard the words, "The poor monk is grateful for the auspicious words of the master! If we say goodbye today, we may not see each other in the future. You must know that the changes in the world are beyond your imagination."

Mu Lian heard his last sentence, which seemed to mean something, but before she could ask carefully, the three master and apprentice set off.

In the damp and cold air, there was only the voice of the fat novice reciting, shaking his head, "All dharmas arise because of a continuum, and they are extinguished due to a contingent relationship. My teacher, the great recluse, should say so..."
