Chapter 337 340 Mysterious Beauty

Shen Mu lost his voice: "What?"

Shang Xiuxun finally threw a pen and looked up at Shen Mu, and said angrily, "Taking off your clothes means taking off your clothes. Is there anything else? My words are orders, otherwise the family law will serve you."

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said: "My innocent body is just stripped off in front of the host, it would be bad if people see it!"

Shang Xiuxun gave him a hard look, and blamed him: "I didn't tell you to take off your pants, and if you didn't do so, do you want to ask for a beating?"

Xu Ziling was about to speak out against him, but Shen Mu was afraid that he would reveal his identity, so he shouted: "Take it off, just take it off!"

Seeing Shen Mu's two slaps, Xu Ziling revealed his muscular upper body, and knowing that Shang Xiuxun was deliberately checking whether there were any injuries on his body, and remembering that he still wanted to see Lu Miaozi, Xu Ziling finally gave in.

Shang Xiuxun stood up, walked around the two of them, returned to the desk with a look of disappointment, and waved: "Get lost!"

The two of them took their clothes and were about to get out, they stopped Shang Xiuxun and said: "You are only allowed to go out after you have put on your clothes, how proper is this?"

The two put on their clothes in embarrassment under her scorching gaze. Seeing that she was still looking thoughtful, Shen Mu tentatively asked, "Master! Can we get out?"

Shang Xiuxun looked around the two of them several times, and said coldly, "Do you exercise every day?"

Shen Mu knew that she was suspicious because she saw their solid and perfect muscles, so she said casually: "Of course, we get up early every morning and play fists and kicks for at least an hour, so that we will become more energetic."

"Bang!" Shang Xiuxun slapped the table with his palm, stared wide-eyed, and scolded: "Nonsense! You are the last ones to get up in the ranch, and you need to be beaten to get up, how dare you lie to me. "

Shen Mu didn't expect her to pay so much attention to the daily life of the two of them, so he had to admit embarrassingly: "The owner has a lot, I just said it smoothly, and forgot the recent changes in life."

Shang Xiuxun stared at him dubiously for a while, then sighed and said, "If one day I find out that you guys are lying to me, I will kill you all with my own hands."

Shen Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she no longer doubted that Xu Ziling was a scarred man, he said respectfully, "Can we get out?"

Shang Xiuxun raised her pretty face and said angrily, "Get out immediately!"

The two slipped out as if they had received the emperor's amnesty.

When they saw Lu Miaozi in Xiaolou, they were all taken aback.

Lu Miaozi still sat upright, but there was no trace of color on her face, she closed her eyes and said nothing.

The two rushed to support him, Lu Miaozi let out a long breath, opened his eyes and said, "Help me down!"

Shen Mu quickly jumped up, reached into the bookcase and pulled down the iron rod that opened the tunnel. With the sound of "cracking", the entrance to the basement appeared in front of him.

Lu Miaozi said: "I have packed up the things and notes left for you, and I can take them away when I leave."

The two helped him into the tunnel and came to the basement. They suddenly found that there was a stone bed in the middle of the basement. There were all kinds of pillows and bedding. They followed Lu Miaozi's instructions and moved him to the stone bed to lie down.

Lu Miaozi rested his head on the wooden pillow and folded his hands on his chest. When the two men covered him with a shocking red embroidered quilt, the dying old man sighed: "Life is only a short time, when you think life will never arrive. At the end, in the blink of an eye, it's time to breathe your last breaths."

Shen Mu felt like crying, but he couldn't shed a single tear, and said firmly, "Don't worry, sir! We will kill that temptress of the Yingui Sect, so that I can show my relief for you."

Lu Miaozi shook her head with a wry smile and said: "You do what you can! Now I have lost all hatred for her. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be able to accompany Qingya for 25 years. I don't even know that she is the only one in my heart. That's all. ! That's all!"

The two of you looked at me and didn't know what to say.

Lu Miaozi panted lightly: "You guys go! Remember what to do."

Xu Ziling said in amazement: "Mister is not dead yet!"

Lu Miaozi suddenly cheered up, and said slightly angrily, "Do you want to see me look like a wimp after I die? Ha! Death is not so terrible. I wonder what will happen later?"

After they hid the things that Lu Miaozi gave them, they left the small building that became lonely and desolate.

Shen Mu pressed Xu Ziling's shoulder with his right hand, and sighed bitterly: "The old guy left after only a few days of getting along."

Xu Ziling sighed, "Shall we leave tonight, or tomorrow morning?"

Xu Chenmu shook his head and said, "No! Let's go now, there is no point in staying!"

When the room door was in sight, Lan Gu came towards her and said, "You two pack up your clothes immediately, and go out with the host. It's your honor! The host appointed you two to serve her meals along the way!"

The two were dumbfounded.At dusk, a group of 28 people drove out of the East Gorge and marched across the vast plain.

In addition to Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, the two leading generals, Sister Fu and Xiaojuan were also accompanying to attend to Shang Xiuxun's daily life.The others were all from Pegasus Ranch, including Liang Zhi, Liu Zongdao, and Xu Yang at the deacon level, Luo Fang at the deputy deacon level, and Wu Yan, Liang Zhi's deputy, a stocky man in his forties.

There are also two old men named Shang Peng and Shang He, including Shang Xiuxun, who respectfully call them Peng Gong and He Gong.

The two elders seldom spoke, but their eyes were as bright as lightning, and they were obviously veteran masters of the merchant family in Pegasus Ranch.

After walking for a long time, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling still didn't know where Shang Xiuxun was going after such a battle.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were in charge of driving the only carriage, which was equipped with tents, food, cooking utensils and other things.

Shen Mu drove the four healthy horses that pulled the cart, and whispered in Xu Ziling's ear: "After finishing dinner, we will slip away, and we will leave only after they are full and drunk, which is considered as humane as possible!"

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "This direction seems to be going to Jingling."

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Well, but the life of being responsible for the food for 28 people is not easy, so we have to go to Jingling for sightseeing."

Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Then let's go tonight!"

When night fell, Shang Xiuxun ordered to camp by a small stream to rest, while Shen Mu and Xu Ziling built a fire and cooked food. They were so busy, but fortunately Xiaojuan helped them, so they relaxed.

When everyone ate their special rice dumpling, they were full of praise, which made them very proud.

Sister Fu and Xiaojuan formed a group of their own with him, talking together around the campfire, which did not have a taste of wilderness.

Shen Mu took the opportunity to ask, "Where are we going?"

Xiaojuan said in amazement: "Did no one tell you? This trip is going to Jingling!"

Xu Ziling wondered, "What happened to Jingling?"

Xiaojuan obviously didn't know the details, and said, "It seems to be something important."

Sister Fu said in a low voice, "It was the owner of Jingling Fang who sent someone to ask for help from the owner of the venue. We are just the vanguard, and the others will come when they are ready."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, both saw the fear in the other's heart, because they guessed the same terrible possibility.

At this time, a servant said that Shang Xiuxun was looking for them, so the two of them followed the servant to the place where Shang Xiuxun was. , said indifferently: "The rice balls you made tonight are of a very high standard and satisfying."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling quickly thanked them.

Shang Xiuxun said: "You two walk with me!"

The two were in awe, and this invitation was too unreasonable for a woman who was always arrogant and lonely.So full of suspicion, he followed behind her.

Shang Xiuxun was walking slowly in the wilderness, under the light of the stars and the moon, her hair shone brightly, and her elegant back carried an extraordinary and unspeakable mysterious beauty.

Shang Xiuxun didn't speak for a while.

When she reached a pile of boulders scattered along the creek, she stopped and sighed softly, "Sit down!"

Shen Mu hurriedly said, "Let's just stand."

Shang Xiuxun picked a big stone and sat down comfortably, then said: "Sit down!"

Seeing her sitting down, the two of them chose a smooth stone to sit on.

Shang Xiuxun said softly: "Do you think I'm arrogant?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "You are our big boss, so we naturally have to obey your orders to be human."

Shang Xiuxun smiled coquettishly, thought for a long while, and said with a smile: "This is why I love talking to you two boys, because you only think of me as a boss, and don't treat me like other people. I am the supreme owner of the field. The best thing is that I know you have a lot of things to lie to me, and I just can't catch your sore feet."

The two were greatly embarrassed.Xu Ziling said: "What do the owners think we might have lied to?"

Shang Xiuxun shook her head coquettishly, turned her eyes around the two, looked at the night sky, and said softly: "I don't really know. But I always feel that the two of you are not simple."

Shen Mu just smiled lightly, and said respectfully: "This time the owner led people to Jingling, is it because Jingling sent people to ask for help?"

Shang Xiuxun's phoenix eyes turned cold, and he said slightly angrily: "Did Fu Er tell this?"

Shen Mu said displeased: "In the face of a catastrophe, does the farm owner still care about such trivial matters as family laws and regulations?"

Shang Xiuxun was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling rose in Fang's heart. At this moment, Xu Ziling still had the slightest taste of being a servant. He forgot to scold him for a while, stood up abruptly, and said coldly: "You two go back. Go to sleep!" After speaking, he hurriedly went to discuss with Liu Zongdao and others.

When she woke up the next morning, Shang Xiuxun summoned the two of them to the tent, besides Elder Sister Fu and Xiao Juan, she said solemnly: "Today, you two have made great contributions, and I will reward you according to your merits in the future. Change the itinerary now, the two of you, Fu'er and Juan'er will return to the ranch with the second deacon, do you understand?"

The two secretly complained.Shen Mu frowned and said, "It's really unwise for the farm owner to send us away."

Sister Fu and Xiaojuan turned pale at the same time, wondering whether they were going to die because they contradicted the owner so much.

Shang Xiuxun's reaction was not as intense as they imagined, but he said displeasedly: "It's not that I don't want to bring you with me, it's just that going to Jingling is dangerous and unpredictable. If something happens, how can I take care of you?"

Shen Mu lowered his voice and said in a serious manner: "To be honest, my two brothers are actually masters in hiding, and there is absolutely no problem in protecting themselves in case of accidents. Hey! What are you laughing at?"

Sister Fu and Xiaojuan couldn't bear it anymore, from snickering to covering their mouths into laughing.

Shang Xiuxun also smiled at it, and said angrily: "With your three-legged cat-like kung fu, there is nothing hidden."

Shen Mu said with a tongue like a reed: "The owner's words are wrong. The sky is five and the earth is five. The five numbers are related and each has its own combination. Hey! This is called the five-in-one formation of heaven and earth, which can be transformed into changes. Ghosts and gods, even if the opponent has thousands of troops and horses, if you enter the battle, you will... ha ha... as if you are in the fog."

Shang Xiuxun half-believingly said: "If you change to Taoist robes, you will become a demon."

Sister Fu and Xiaojuan saw Shen Mu's embarrassing look of being ridiculed, they could only bear a smile.

Seeing that the plan was unsuccessful, Shen Mu pinched his fingers again and said, "The owner of the farm sent us back to the ranch because he was afraid that our lives would be lost. So I set up a hexagram. , which means it will surely save our two little lives, without any damage."

Shang Xiuxun said, "When did you change from a genius of military art to a genius of magic?"

Shen Mu's expression did not change, and he said proudly: "Creating a hexagram is the simplest basic skill. It depends on sincerity and righteousness, the heart is the foundation, and the number is used. One is better than five, Xiao Yan is ten, and Day Yan is 55, which is clear and reasonable, and the hexagrams are as accurate as gods."

Shang Xiuxun seemed to have tried a lot to convince herself, and said listlessly: "Okay! I'll let you stay and try. If there's anything good or bad, don't blame me for not warning me after you've become a ghost."

Everyone continued their journey.The number of people going to Jingling changed from the original 28 to 20 people, and they were divided into four groups, each taking a different route, and using the towns along the way as meeting points, in order to deceive people.

Shang Xiuxun didn't know whether it was because she wanted to rely on Shen Mu's divination ability, or because she liked to listen to their nonsense, or because she wanted to protect them personally, so she made up Shen Mu and Xu Ziling to be in the same group as her, as well as Liang Zhi and Wu Yan. Coupled with the two veteran masters, Shang Peng and Shang He, their strength is the strongest in this group.

A group of seven people dressed up as travellers, Shang Xiuxun put on men's clothes, and sat in the carriage with Shang Peng and Shang He.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling still served as the imperial guards.Liang Zhi and Wu Yan dressed up as guardsmen and escorted them in the car.

In the afternoon, people and horses cut into the official road and drove towards Xiangyang, the big city northwest of Jingling.

The number of people and horses on the road is increasing, and business travelers are traveling together to build momentum.Only people in the world dare to travel alone, or two or three together on the road.

Liang Zhi fell a little later and reported to Shang Xiuxun: "I have asked people from Xiangyang, and I heard that this city is now controlled by a local rich man, Qian Duguan. This person is good at using two swords and dominates Xiangyang. Whose account is it? They are not sold, and the management is okay. However, the tax to enter the city is quite heavy, and the business travelers who come and go complain quite a lot.”

Shang Xiuxun said: "We must enter the city before the gate of Xiangyang. Tomorrow morning we can take a boat to Jingling. Although it takes an extra day, the enemy will not be able to figure out our itinerary. It is still very worthwhile."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling suddenly realized that Shang Xiuxun had accepted their advice, so they made some tricks on the route to Jingling.

Shang Peng's voice came and said: "Why don't the old man go to Xiangyang first to arrange the ship matters, in this time of chaos in the world, sometimes even a lot of money may not be able to hire a big ship that can carry people."

Shang Xiuxun said: "Old Peng, please rest assured, Xiuxun has ordered Xu Yang and Luo Fang to rush to Xiangyang to handle this matter!"

Shang Peng praised: "The owner is very careful." The whip lightly hit the horse's buttocks, and the carriage drove back to the official road.

Xiangyang is located at the confluence of various rivers beside the Han River. If you go down the river, you can reach Hannan, another smaller city, in one day, and Jingling in two days.

Since Yang Guang was killed by Yu Wenhua and Qibing, the situation in various places has intensified.

Those who already ruled the land as kings and emperors took advantage of the situation to expand their territories. Those who were originally Sui officials or who were taking a wait-and-see attitude rose up one after another and became local forces to protect their urban and rural homes.

Qian Duguan in Xiangyang is a typical example.

"Double Swords" Qian Duguan is the leader of the Hanshui School. He is between good and evil. He is very respectable in the local black and white.

When the news of Emperor Yangdi's death came, Qian Duguan was favored by the public, and was elected as the leader by the local wealthy gentry and gangs.

Although Qian Duguan knew that he did not have the strength to contend for world hegemony, but at this moment when the wind is blowing and the world is in chaos, he can still guard Xiangyang and act on his own, without looking at anyone's face.At a time when Li Mi, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong and other major forces were confronting each other, he was even more successful, and even did a lot of business in exchange for what he needed, just like ceding land and becoming king.

At dusk, Shang Xiuxun and his group rushed to Xiangyang before the city gate closed, paid the city gate tax with yellow gold, and entered the city.

The high walls of Xiangyang City, the archery tower at the city gate, the bell tower and the drum tower face each other.

After entering the city, everyone set foot on the street that runs through the north and south city gates. At the moment when the lights are on, there are countless arches and pavilions standing across the street, shops on both sides, the long street is simple, row upon row of houses, people and cars on the road, it is peaceful and lively The scene makes people forget that the war outside is dangerous.

From time to time on the street, armed men in blue clothes walked by in groups of three or five. You could tell they were Qian Duguan's subordinates just by looking at their tyrannical demeanor that no one would give in.

There are almost no traces of young women on the street. Occasionally, some who come from other places will hurried away with their heads bowed.

Xu Yang, Luo Fang and others had already entered the city and waited for a long time. Luo Fang took them to a large-scale hotel. After they settled down, Shen Mu followed Luo Fang to the second floor of Xianglou, the largest restaurant in the city. There are two sumptuous banquets on the second floor.

The two were shocked, they didn't expect Shang Xiuxun to pay attention to ostentation under such circumstances.

Jiaxiang Building is divided into upper, middle and lower floors.The third floor is full of VIP rooms, and reservations are not accepted at all unless they are regular customers or local dignitaries.

Outsiders like Pegasus Ranch can only book the tables on the second floor and downstairs, and Xu Yang has to bribe the shopkeeper of the inn to make arrangements.

Shang Xiuxun not only put on men's clothing, but also painted her face a little black, and glued on a beard, giving her the appearance of a Taoist gentleman. Although the appearance is ridiculous, it is better than showing her alluring beauty.
