In the living room of the Guo Mansion, Guo Huan thought of Mu Sheng's performance at yesterday's banquet, and a glint flashed in his eyes. This brother Liu from Zhuojun had given him enough face. He was very powerful and of noble birth. He didn't know that this person came to visit him. Why are you visiting? Whatever! He will know when he sobers up.
Mu Sheng had had a good sleep at this moment. When he got up in the morning, he felt something warm and hugging him under the quilt. When he looked back in a daze, he saw a young woman with a beautiful face hugging Mu Sheng. Sheng, the woman gradually woke up when she felt Mu Sheng's movements.
This frightened him so much that he thought, Damn it! Lost your virginity after just one drink? No way! He quietly turned back and glanced at her jade body, and instantly felt that he couldn't hold back his anger. He quickly recited the Qingxin Mantra silently, and finally he was safe.
Mu Sheng stammered and asked, "Yesterday, did I do anything to disgrace the girl?"
Although it was drunken sex, a man has to be responsible after sleeping. If it doesn't work, just take it back to the house.
The woman covered her mouth and laughed, and said with some regret in her tone, "Sir, this slave is just a maid in the greenhouse. Yesterday, the master was drunk and unconscious and did not do anything untoward to this slave."
After saying that, she still seemed a little disappointed. Mu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Well, I was scared to death. It seems that there will be a limit to drinking in the future. I'll just pretend to get away with it. This time, I was really drunk. Look. It seems that he is still in Guo Huan's house.
Mu Sheng quickly put on his clothes, picked up his big sword and went to the living room of the Guo Mansion. It was not good to be lazy here all the time.
When he arrived at the living room, it turned out that the hero Guo had been waiting here for a long time.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and bowed and said, "Master Guo, I'm really sorry. Liu drank too much yesterday and lost his composure after drinking. I still hope Haihan."
Guo Huan stood up with a smile and came over to hold my hand and said, "Brother Liu Xian, what are you talking about? Brother Xian's sword dance yesterday shocked the whole audience. When word spread, I, Guo, have gained a lot of respect. If brother Xian is not abandoned, I will How old is Mr. Guo, his elder brother, and how do you and I compare to each other?"
No way, it’s just a drink, is the relationship so close? Mu Sheng had originally planned to visit a few more times to get closer to each other, but this was a good step, and they all became brothers.
Mu Sheng understood what he meant and immediately changed his words and said, "Brother Guo, it's a great honor to promote my younger brother like this."
Guo Huan said with a smile, "Okay! Guo is very straightforward. I saw that my brother Jian Wu had something unclear in his mind yesterday, and I would like to ask my brother for advice."
"Brother Guo is too polite, but it doesn't matter. Dear brother, I will tell you everything I know."
"My dear brother seems to be a monk?"
Mu Sheng pretended to be annoyed and showed that he really made a mistake by drinking. His brain was twitching and his strength was accidentally exposed. In fact, he did it on purpose...
Mu Sheng looked confused and asked, "How did Brother Guo find out?"
Guo Huan said, "My dear brother, I don't know something. Guo has been traveling in the world for so many years. I have come into contact with some Taoist disciples. I have seen a few of their body movements. My dear brother, my sword dance last night shocked people. If I know The information is good, the sword in Xiandi's hand is actually a Taoist magic weapon, otherwise it would not be so powerful."
Mu Sheng said with an annoyed look, "Brother Guo, this is not the younger brother's intention to deceive. Since you have been in contact with people in the Taoist sect, you should have heard of the rules of our Taoist sect to some extent. We disciples go out to practice, and the rules of this sect are our own inheritance." Don't talk to others easily unless you encounter some unavoidable situation. Yesterday, I drank and made trouble. I didn't stop when I was in the mood. Please forgive me."
Guo Huan said with a majestic expression, "What are you talking about, brother Xian? I, Guo, am able to meet a monk like brother Xian, and I am a high-ranking official. It's too late to be happy. How can I care about brother Xian's deception? Come on." Come, dear brother, please take a seat, and someone will serve you the sobering soup."
Guo Huan said, "My dear brother, there is something unclear about Mr. Guo. Although I, Mr. Guo, have made a name for himself in the world over the years, I am just an ordinary person in the world. I am not like a dragon or a phoenix among people like my dear brother." Is it to the point where it intersects with the folds below?”
While drinking the sobering soup, Mu Sheng said, "Brother Guo, what are you talking about! Although I am a Taoist, I don't know any rules when I first entered the world. I just heard about Guo Juxia's reputation in the world for punishing evil and promoting good, so I wanted to come and have a look. Since Brother Guo and the younger brother are already brothers, there is no need to hide this little thought of the younger brother."
"I really have something to ask for. This can only be done if you, Brother Guo, help me. If you can accomplish this, I will never dare to disobey you whenever I call you."
Guo Huan said with an expression that I know what to do with, "Brother, you and I are like old friends, but it doesn't matter. Big brother will do his best to help."
Mu Sheng's eyes flashed and he said, "I heard that my eldest brother is working in the East Palace. I wonder if this news is true?"
Guo Huan's eyes flashed, and his heart moved. He was secretly working for the East Palace. Not many people knew about this.
Guo Huan did not admit it, but tried to test it, "Brother, please don't dare to say nonsense. The threshold of the East Palace is not accessible to ordinary people. Guo did have some contact with people from the East Palace in the past, but it was just business dealings. Indeed, It’s a bit misunderstood by outsiders.”
Seeing that Guo Huan refused to admit it, Mu Sheng took out a pair of jade pendants that Wu Xie had prepared for him in advance and handed it to him.
Mu Sheng immediately became a dramatist and sighed, and said in a serious tone, "Brother, can you recognize this thing?"
Guo Huan's face changed slightly when he saw this thing. He couldn't bear it any longer. He was excited and sighed in a sad tone, "Brother, where did you get this thing?"
Then Mu Sheng repeated to Guo Huan what Wu Xie told him.
Guo Huan heard Mu Sheng's words and lamented, "My dear brother, to be honest, this thing is the personal belongings of my brother Guo Jue."
In fact, the prisoner from the Moying Sect whom Wu Xie rescued in prison was Guo Huan's younger brother. If it hadn't been for Guo Jue's accidental arrest over the years, it would have been impossible for anyone to know that he was from the Moying Sect.
This mysterious organization has always had people of various identities. It is truly a representative of the great hermits in the city, and it is also a key target of the imperial court. Wu Xie's dismissal from office seems to be related to this matter.
After hearing what happened to Guo Xuan, Guo Huan sighed and said, "Hey! I have been inquiring about my brother for many years. I really didn't expect that he was a member of the Mo sect. He also broke the rules of the Mo sect. I just want to It would be good to know his whereabouts, and it would also be an explanation for my deceased mother."
Guo Huan held the jade pendant and thought about it for a while and then said, "Since brother Xian is my brother's savior, he is one of our own. Guo simply made it clear that I am indeed working for the East Palace. Brother Xian, do you want me to do it for you?" You made a recommendation to the current prince, but is that so?"
"Brother knows everything."
"There, there, now the East Palace is really recruiting talents. With my own strength, even without my recommendation, I will be reused sooner or later if I work in the East Palace."
Mu Sheng said, "My eldest brother is ridiculous. My eldest brother is a close relative of the current Crown Prince. If you are willing to introduce me to my younger brother, I will certainly receive the attention of His Royal Highness."
This is the importance of internal recommenders. First of all, the recommender himself is very valued by the leadership within the organization. If he uses his own personal credibility to guarantee it, it will be easier for the recommended person to integrate into the organization.
If one's personal ability is good, it is easier to be appreciated and promoted by the leader. It is much faster than gaining seniority slowly and gaining trust gradually. In fact, this is how Guo Huan rose up.
But having said that, recommenders also have to bear certain risks. If the recommended person is unreliable, you will also bear a crisis of trust. Therefore, recommending outsiders to join the organization requires multiple inspections.
Guo Huan pondered for a while and said, "Xiandi, if you want to recommend me, it's okay, but the person who wants to attach himself to the prince is like a prince across the river. To be honest, he is not inferior to Xiandi."
Seeing the hesitation on Guo Huan's face, Mu Sheng was moved in his heart and said, "Brother, please show me a clear path. If you want to receive a certificate, I don't dare to refuse."
Seeing Mu Sheng coming up, Guo Huan changed his tone and said, "Don't be anxious, dear brother, the days are long. I'm looking for an opportunity for you to make contributions to the Crown Prince. In this way, it will be much easier for me to recommend my dear brother to the East Palace."
To put it bluntly, it was to test Mu Sheng's business ability, loyalty, and character. Not just any junk snack could get through.
After hearing this, Mu Sheng gave a big gift and said, "The kindness shown by the elder brother to the younger brother is like being reborn and being worshiped by the younger brother."
Guo Huan hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Sheng up and said, "Brother Xian, I don't like to hear this. Even if it's my brother Guo Xuan's matter, I have to help brother Xian. From now on, we brothers will work for the East Palace together." Now that we are colleagues, we are all our own people, so it will be much easier to run errands for the Crown Prince from now on."
Mu Sheng was moved and said, "Brother..."
Guo Huan patted his shoulder and said, "What a wise brother."
It was already noon when Mu Sheng came out of the Guo Mansion. The brother-friend-brother-gong play had been going on for a long time. The progress was unexpectedly good. He felt that the decisive factor in his heart was the piece that Wu Xie gave him. It was said to be The jade pendant of Guo Huan's brother Guo Xuan.
Mu Sheng thought, OK! The first stage of the mission was reached and he could go back home, but he couldn't go back directly. He felt that Guo Huan still didn't trust him enough, so he first found an inn to stay by himself, and then sneaked back to his home at night to discuss the work progress with Wu Xie.
Come on! After acting for a day, Mu Sheng finally understood what life is like. It all depends on acting. If your acting skills are not enough, you have to use your face to make up for it...
After leaving Guo's Mansion, Mu Sheng strode to an inn, registered his identity information, and checked his place of birth and address. Anyway, the Jin Dynasty was like this. It had very strict control over outsiders. Without Mr. Wu creating these false certificates for Mu Sheng, he would not be able to stay in the inn. .
In the lobby of Guo Mansion, a waiter-like person was reporting to Guo Huan in the lobby at night.
The waiter said, "Master, I saw Mr. Liu enter the Chaohe Inn with my own eyes. He only went out for a meal in the evening and then went back. He never left the room again. He is a Taoist and his senses are different from ordinary people's. Dare to stare too closely."
Guo Huan's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Guo Huan waved his hand and said, "I understand. I will go to the account to collect the reward tomorrow. You can go down."
"Thank you, Master."
At this moment, Mu Sheng secretly shouted in the inn that it was very dangerous! Fortunately, he saved a few tricks. During the day, Mu Sheng felt as if he was being watched without warning. Among ordinary people, he was indeed a master of stalking, but in Mu Sheng's eyes, he was nothing. This was not the same as Ming Ming. It's no different from following one's own behind. A cultivator's sixth sense is very powerful.
He knew that Guo Huan, a disciple of the Crown Prince and a secret son of His Royal Highness, would be very wary of outsiders, no matter how good he looked on the surface, and it would be extremely difficult to impress such an old man with just one-sided words.
Mu Sheng estimated that the next petition may not be simple. There is no way to block it with soldiers, and it can only be done like this.
