sinking halberd

"you……"

As soon as Su Sha Hao Hao said a word, Mu Zhenliu blew out the candle, went to bed in the dark, snatched a corner of the quilt from under Su Sha Hao Hao's body, covered his stomach, and fell asleep.

"I haven't taken a shower yet." Susha said slowly.

Mu Zhenliu gave way to the outside, leaving a distance of half a foot between them.

Susha said nicely, "Really not."

Mu Zhenliu said: "If you step back again, I will fall."

Susha swooped in with his long arms, pulling people in.

Mu Zhenliu opened his eyes.

The room is dark, and the bed is even darker.

Even if we are face to face, we can hear each other's breath, but we can't see each other's appearance clearly.

Mu Zhenliu turned over, facing outwards, with his back facing Susha: "Go to sleep."

Susha faced the darkness and meditated for a while, then turned over and turned his back to Mu Zhenliu.

Mu Zhenliu finally closed his eyes when there was no movement at all.

Although the two traveled together all the way, it was the first time they slept together in the same bed, and neither of them slept soundly.

When he got up, Mu Zhenliu's eyes were red, and Su Sha was quite depressed.Seeing Mu Zhenliu looking at him, Su Sha cheered up immediately.

Mu Zhenliu sighed, "Why bother?"

Susha gritted her teeth and said, "I'll get used to it."

He is as stubborn as a child, and Mu Zhenliu has long passed the age to care about children.No matter what his purpose is, as long as he doesn't show his fox tail, Mu Zhenliu won't bother to care about him.

It's not that he is lenient, in fact, he has too many things to take care of.

When we arrived at the Weapons Bureau, we saw Ju Cheng leading the Wushi Ling busy sorting out the documents. Seeing him coming, Ju Cheng immediately raised his head from the documents and greeted him with a smile: "Your Excellency is really early! Can you go earlier?"

Mu Zhenliu smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you. I've used it."

Ju Cheng said: "This is part of the official documents that have been handed over from the bureau over the years. Let's sort it out for you first and compile a catalog."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Thank you all."

The room orders said one after another: "You should do your best."

Mu Zhenliu said, "Where is Master Liao?"

Bureau Cheng smiled slightly, and said: "I haven't seen him this morning. Master Liao didn't come to the Bureau very often. Since Master Mu came, Master Liao was happy to come here. If Master Mu has any questions, just talk to me Come on."

Mu Zhenliu had no choice but to follow him into the house.

In the evening, Ju Cheng and others urged Mu Zhenliu to move to the official residence, but Mu Zhenliu refused, so he had to go back to the inn to pack his things.Su Sha was not at the inn, so Mu Zhenliu left a message and checked out with his luggage.

The official residence is connected to the Military Weapons Bureau, and it is a three-entry courtyard.

As soon as Mu Zhenliu put the salute into the master's room, Susha arrived right away.Not only did he arrive, but he also rushed to earth-shatteringly—a concierge, two guards were chasing after him, and he ran in front.

Running up to Mu Zhenliu, without waiting for others to speak, Susha was the first to catch everyone's attention: "You've been chaotic and abandoned!"

Mu Zhenliu: "..."

The guard and porter were stopped by his words.

Ju Cheng and the others were also dumbfounded.

Mu Zhenliu said to the guards and others: "It's okay, he is my...friend."

The guards then withdrew.

Ju Cheng and the others came back to their senses, cupped their fists and said, "Mr. Susha."

Susha greeted them one by one, and said, "Today is my housewarming celebration for Soseki and I! Thank you all for your kind visits, I'll be the host, and go to the Huayue Building in the city to celebrate."

Ju Cheng and the others said, "It's up to me to pay filial piety!"

Susha waved his hand and said, "Why do you see outsiders?"

The two sides sang together and happily went to Huayue Building.

Mu Zhenliu was surrounded by them in the center, and he didn't need to express his opinion at all, he had already decided his opinion.

When we arrived at Huayue Building, there was naturally another round of drinking and drinking.Mu Zhenliu didn't dare to drink too much. With the "drunk" last time as a base, this time he was two points drunk, and everyone dared not persuade him to drink anymore.

When he was half drunk, Mu Zhenliu complained half-truthfully, "You should invite Master Liao to drink with you."

Ju Cheng smiled and said, "Even if Mr. Mu invites Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao may not be willing to come."

"Why is this? Could it be that Mr. Liao is dissatisfied with me?" Mu Zhenliu pretended to be panicked.

Bureau Cheng said: "Master Mu is new here, so I have never heard of the Three Treasures in the Weapons Bureau."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Please advise Ju Cheng."

Jucheng said: "The first treasure of the Military Weapons Bureau is the land of geomantic omen. Master Mu did not know that the Military Weapons Bureau was originally a dojo of an immortal. It has been changed to the Military Bureau."

Mu Zhenliu said with a smile: "One person achieves the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. In this way, the Military Weapons Bureau may have great fortune in the future!"

Ju Cheng followed with a smile and said: "Who says it's not? When the magistrate wanted to move the yamen here, Mr. Liao already nodded his head. Only a few of us strongly opposed it, and it took a lot of effort to keep this geomantic treasure. ah."

Mu Zhenliu quickly picked up his wine glass and toasted everyone present.

Ju Cheng said again: "The second treasure of this Military Weapons Bureau is our Zhenju treasure halberd. Legend has it that this treasure halberd and Du Guang, one of the three famous swords in the world, are siblings, and they are both master Wang Yanglin's painstaking work , or out of a furnace."

Susha asked with great interest: "Among the three famous swords, the legend of not touching the front is kept in the Nanjiang palace, and Duguang is the treasure of Xiaoyao Island in the East China Sea. My wife's whereabouts are unknown. It is really a great misfortune for martial arts practitioners not to have the chance to see him! If I can see Du Guang's fellow brothers, it will be my wish fulfilled."

Ju Cheng said: "What's the difficulty? As long as Mr. Mu says a word, Mr. Su Sha can't say that he just looks at it, even if he hangs it on the bedside to admire it day and night, it will make it work."

Mu Zhenliu waved his hand and said: "This is the treasure of the town, how can it be like this!"

Ju Cheng said: "Wouldn't it be a hundred times safer to put it in your lord's official residence than anywhere else?"

Susha laughed loudly and said, "That's true."

Mu Zhenliu looked at him with a natural look, and secretly checked whether he had indulged him too much.

Ju Cheng said: "Speaking of the third treasure, it is more envious of others than the first two."

The housekeepers all snickered.

Mu Zhenliu was very supportive and asked, "What is He Bao?"

Pai Shi Ling couldn't help but said: "It's the beautiful wife and beautiful concubine in Mr. Liao's family. In Pingbo City alone, Mr. Liao has three beautiful concubines, one of whom was once the number one girl in Xiangmanyuan. In addition to the beauties Mr. Liao has collected from all over the place, the number of them is comparable to that of the Sixth Court of Sangong."

Ju Cheng said: "Speak carefully."

The card room order said with a smile: "Perhaps it is an exaggeration, but in Pingbo City, it is definitely the only one!"

Mu Zhenliu lowered his head and took a sip of his wine.

Ju Cheng said: "Therefore, after Mr. Liao arrived in Pingbo City, he inquired about the residences of rich families, but he has never lived in an official residence."

It's not easy for Mu Zhenliu to intervene in this kind of official's private affairs, so he can only laugh without saying a word.

Several chamber decrees talked excitedly and brought up all the rumors in the market. Among them, the most mentioned one was naturally the old boss.

After the banquet, Ju Cheng and others drove away, and Mu Zhenliu and Susha walked back home.

Mu Zhenliu said: "Mr. Susha has been away from the eclectic village for so long, don't you worry that there will be no one to take care of the affairs in the village?"

Susha hummed twice.

Seeing him displeased, Mu Zhenliu said, "Master Susha?"

Su Sha said nicely, "Master Mu is issuing an order to evict guests?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Not really."

Susha said nicely: "Oh, is Master Mu concerned?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Young Master Susha never seems to regard himself as a guest, so how can Mu give the order to evict the guest?"

Su Sha had a nice smile: "Could it be that you regard me as one of your own?"

Mu Zhenliu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter who Mu regards Mr. Susha as, what is important is, who is he in Mr. Susha's mind?"

Susha said nicely: "Since they are family members, they are naturally their own."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Since this is the case, please tell Mr. Susha frankly. Why do you want to see Guangfu? Why do you want to stay in the Military Weapons Bureau? And why...why do you want to drive a wedge between me and Guangfu?"

Su Sha did not answer immediately, but after walking leisurely with him for a while, said: "I thought, with your temper, you would hold back from asking."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Young Master Susha is pressing you every step of the way, and Mu has nowhere to go."

Susha said nicely: "If I don't tell you, you won't feel at ease."

Mu Zhenliu said, "I just want peace of mind."

Susha said slowly, "I was entrusted by someone."

"who?"

Susha said nicely: "When your Guangfu arrives, the truth will naturally come to light."

Mu Zhenliu frowned.

Susha said nicely: "But there is one sentence, please forgive me for not agreeing with it. I am not trying to drive a wedge between you and that Guangfu of yours. The so-called alienation is to provoke, and what I said is true, so that you can recognize him clearly. true face."

Mu Zhenliu said, "You mean it kindly?"

"kindness."

Mu Zhenliu said, "How to prove it?"

Susha raised her eyebrows, "Why do you want to prove it?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Because you live under my roof."

Susha said nicely, "How do you want me to prove it?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Help me find someone."

"Gao Miao? Don't dare to ask your ears!"

Mu Zhenliu shook his head and said, "It's Lord Liao."

Susha suddenly loses interest: "A lecherous old man?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "One-sided words are not enough to be believed."

Su Sha thought about it for a while, and became a bit interested: "Could it be that, do you think what Ju Cheng and the others said today is a deliberate frame?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Conjecture out of thin air, there is suspicion of malicious slander."

Susha hummed again.

Mu Zhenliu said: "If you find out, I will..."

"how?"

"I promise you to stay overnight."

Su Sha said nicely: "It seems that whether you agree or not, I have already stayed overnight."

Mu Zhenliu said: "That's because I haven't made a statement yet."

Susha said nicely, "What will happen if you don't agree?"

Mu Zhenliu turned her head to look at him and didn't speak for a while.

Su Sha said nicely, "I hate people threatening me the most."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Indeed. Then, Mr. Susha should put himself in Mu's shoes and think about it."

Su Sha is good: "..."

At night, there is still one bed for two people.Moreover, this bed is narrower than the one in the inn. Mu Zhenliu and Su Sha are lying side by side on the bed, although they are nestled in their respective quilts, they can still feel each other's body.

Seeing Mu Zhenliu turning over several times, Su Sha couldn't fall asleep, and finally said: "Since you agreed, you must not go back on your word."

With his back turned to him, Mu Zhenliu said after a long time, "Go to sleep."

In the early morning of the next day, Susha disappeared.

Mu Zhenliu didn't ask any questions, and went straight to the Weapons Bureau, and continued to sort out yesterday's documents with Ju Cheng and others.If you don't sort it out, you don't know, the official documents from the Armament Bureau are extremely cumbersome.Not only the Tianji Mansion, but also the troops stationed in various places.

Mu Zhenliu asked Ju Cheng: "As far as I know, the Military Weapons Bureau is directly under the Tianji Mansion, and the troops stationed in various places have no right to ask for military weapons."

Ju Cheng said: "So that's the case. Later, when there was a change in southern Xinjiang, Wang Nanfu wrote to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to send troops to help, and at the same time wrote to the major military bureaus, asking for military weapons. Not long after, the Tianji Mansion also ordered the various arms bureaus to transfer a large number of weapons directly from the arms bureaus to Wangnan Mansion, setting a precedent."

Mu Zhenliu shook his head and said, "If you don't abide by the law, if you don't follow the rules, it's a sign of chaos!"

Ju Cheng said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so worried. At that time, Tianji Mansion only gave such authority to the garrisons in a few places. Apart from these few places, other places are not allowed."

Mu Zhenliu said, "Which places?"

"One is Wangnan Mansion, which faces southern Xinjiang across the river and is the top priority of our frontier defense. The other two are Changshou Mansion in Northeast China and Longchang Mansion in Northwest China."

Mu Zhenliu recited Changshou Mansion in Northeast China and Longchang Mansion in Northwest China several times.

A servant came in from outside and whispered in Ju Cheng's ear for a long time.

After hearing enough, Ju Cheng said with a stern face: "Didn't you see Mr. Mu here? If you have anything to say, you should tell Mr. Mu first!"

The guard hurriedly bowed to Mu Zhenliu to beg for mercy.

Mu Zhenliu said, "What's the matter?"

Bureau Cheng smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. It's Mr. Liao's family members who exchanged some things at the pawn shop. When they left, they accidentally dropped the exchanged banknotes on the ground, which was blown by the wind, causing a burst of fire. commotion."

Nushi Ling said: "Since it caused a commotion, it must not be a small sum, right?"

The guard said: "There are rumors on the street that there are 10,000+ taels."

Ju Cheng and the others gasped. 10,000+ taels is a huge amount of money wherever you put it.

Mu Zhenliu's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Did Liao's family get home safely?"

Ju Cheng said: "Such a large sum may attract people to covet it, and then take risks."

The guard said: "It should be home safely."

Ju Cheng said: "As far as I can see you, it is better to send a few people to protect Mr. Liao."

Mu Zhenliu said: "This matter, Mr. Liao still needs to speak up."

Ju Cheng repeatedly said yes, so the matter was not mentioned.

At night, Susha came back soon and fell asleep.

Mu Zhenliu originally wanted to ask him if he knew about Mr. Liao's family members dropping bank notes on the street, but it was hard to ask after seeing this.

In the middle of the night, the guard suddenly knocked on the door hastily.

Mu Zhenliu put on his clothes and opened the door.

The guard said: "Master Liao, Master Liao... committed suicide!"
