In the Anlehou Mansion, Young Master Sheng received a letter from the capital. It turned out that Yuer had a ghostwritten reply, saying that the procedures for leaving the palace had been completed, but he could not come to his fief for the time being. His mother was seriously ill and he still needed her to stay with him. Taking care of her by her side, after saying that, she also talked about the lovesickness between the two of them.
After reading the letter, Mu Sheng sighed. Thinking of the time he spent with her in Tai Chi Palace, and the pitiful way she was so gentle and happy under him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Why! He had no choice but to reply to a letter and send her another 10,000 gold. This huge amount of money was enough for her to live a happy life for a period of time. Maybe she had not even been able to earn the salary she had spent in the palace for so many years. With so much money, I hope her mother's illness will get better soon and she can get together with him here soon...
As spring passed and autumn came, watching the air getting colder and the autumn wind rustling, Mu Sheng originally thought about taking his wives and concubines out for some fun, but he also thought that he would have to report to the county magistrate Mengshi as soon as he went out, and there would be people from the Qingyi envoy throughout the process. Tracking, the entire personal freedom is extremely restricted.
As long as Mu Sheng does not leave Zhixian County, he can stroll around the city, but not outside the city. Of course, he can also sneak out alone without anyone noticing, but every three days, the county government will send someone to Anlehou Mansion. Saying hello is obviously to say hello, but in fact it is a disguised form of surveillance to see if you are acting like a monster in the house and are you still there?
If Gongzi Sheng himself sneaks out for too long, his secret will definitely be exposed. In these three days, using the means of transportation of his time, including airplanes and high-speed rails, can he take a day trip across the country? Nowadays, the main force is mules and horses, and there are also family members. Forget it, the range of activities back and forth cannot even go out of Linzhang County.
Mu Sheng looked back at this luxurious mansion and secretly cursed in his heart. It seemed to look more like a super luxurious privately customized prison, but it didn't matter. Anyway, there were so many beauties accompanying him, so just stay at home! Anyway, he was considered a senior homebody in that life. If he had not had to go to work to support his family, he would probably have continued to live in the wasteland in addition to working...
A few days later, in the evening, Mu Sheng was holding Xixue in the backyard. He was about to pick her up and go back to the house to do some work. The eunuch came to report that there was a visitor. He frowned. Who could it be at this time?
Mu Sheng looked back and kissed Xixue, looked at her radiant face, and said, "Just wait for me. I'll take care of you, this fairy, when I get back."
Xixue smiled tenderly and said, "I'm going to take a bath first, husband, please go back quickly!"
When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart became hot and he turned around and left...
Mu Sheng came to the gate and took a closer look under the dim light. He saw two people and two horses. One of them was Guo Jue, and the other one looked very unfamiliar.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and greeted: "Feng, uh, Guo Xuan, it's so late, why are you here?"
Guo Xuan stepped forward to greet you and said, "Young master, I have no choice but to come to join you."
After saying this, he pointed to the person behind him and said, "Sir, I searched for more than three months before I found my eldest brother."
Mu Sheng pointed at the stranger and asked, "Is he Guo Huan?"
He had seen Lao Guo before. He couldn't be like this. Mu Sheng's mind turned around and he carefully identified his aura. Guo Huan was right. After all, they had been dating for a while. Guo Huan's The breath was very familiar, and he understood that he should also be wearing a human skin mask to disguise his true identity.
Guo Xuan stepped forward and said: "Yes, it is my brother, Young Master. Now the Tsing Yi envoy is chasing the former prince's remnants. We two brothers were desperate and thought of coming to your place to take shelter from the limelight for a while. As long as the limelight is over, our brothers I will leave here immediately. Your kindness will never be forgotten by my brothers, the Guo family."
Mu Sheng quickly asked the two of them to enter the house for a chat. After entering the lobby, the Guo family finally relaxed their vigilance.
Mu Sheng invited them to sit down and sent someone to serve them food. After thanking them, the two of them devoured their meals. It seemed that those who had eaten and slept in the open on the road had suffered a lot.
After drinking and eating, Guo Huan tore off his human skin mask, came forward and bowed to Master Sheng, saying: "Guo Huan has visited Anle Hou. Thank you benefactor for taking me in. If there is any mission in the future, I, Guo, will definitely serve for you." Sir, you can do the work of a dog or a horse."
Mu Sheng secretly laughed inwardly. They had even called each other brothers before. Only Lao Wu and him knew about this, and no one else knew about it at all.
Mu Sheng said: "Excuse me, since you are the eldest brother of my guest Guo Xuan, then you can rest assured to stay in my mansion. I have plenty of space here. No matter how arrogant the Tsing Yi envoy is, he will not dare to come and search my place." You two."
Guo Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master, for taking in my two brothers."
Mu Sheng asked: "By the way, Guo Xuan, don't you know the Shapeshifting Technique of the Moying Sect? Logically speaking, ordinary people can't see through your superb skills! Why are you being chased everywhere by the Tsing Yi Messenger? run?"
Guo Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, you don't know. Our transformation technique is okay against ordinary people, but it is very difficult to deal with the Tsing Yi Envoys. The Tsing Yi Envoys also have a core department within them. Rumor has it that they are called Bai Shou, Bai Shou. They are all a column of monks secretly cultivated by the imperial court. There are hundreds of them, and they are under the jurisdiction of the Qingyi envoy, prosecutor, and school captain, who absolutely obey the emperor's orders."
"On the surface, they are Tsing Yi envoys, but in fact they are monks trained by the imperial court. They take action in matters that ordinary Tsing Yi envoys cannot handle. They were also responsible for the massacre of the Yunhua Sect back then. It is difficult for us to escape from our tricks. I was hunted down by the hunting monks, and I escaped countless pursuits on the way to find my brother. It was only when I was desperate that I came to you, young master."
"We two brothers also heard that you are a high disciple of the Yuzhen Sect, sir. Can you see if there is any magic or any way to temporarily allow my two brothers to avoid the pursuit of the Baishou Qingyi envoy?"
Mu Sheng stood up, walked around in circles a few times, and said to himself: "Hundred Hunters? It's so new. This is the first time I've heard this."
Guo Huan said helplessly: "Reporting to Marquis Anle, when Guo joined His Highness the Crown Prince, he had many interactions with people from the Tsing Yi Envoy. Only then did he know that the people in this mysterious department, Bai Shou, were ruthless in their behavior. In their eyes, no one except the emperor could save face." No, many of the monks who joined the Revival Society also died in the hands of Bai Shou and the others. It is rumored that they will use a kind of combined attack technique in combat. Most monks fight alone. When they meet the monks of Bai Shou, even if they are in the first year of high school. It’s difficult for the next level to capture them in a short period of time, it’s very difficult to deal with them.”
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "I see, I also want to ask the Baishou monks who came to hunt you, what are their cultivation levels?"
Guo Xuan explained: "Young master, this is how it is. At first, they sent some ordinary Tsing Yi envoys to track us down. Later, they discovered that our two brothers could use the shadow-changing technique of Moyingmen, and then they sent Bai Shou to hunt us down. We, there is no problem in using our methods to deceive ordinary Tsing Yi envoys. Once the Baishou cultivator comes, we two brothers can’t hide the monk’s spiritual consciousness and five blessings.”
"The monks who came to hunt us, the leader is a master-level cultivator. They internally call the master-level monks Baishou Envoy. The remaining four are intermediate-level peak cultivators. They are Baishou Hunter and Baishou Envoy. The two of us brothers can barely cope with it, but the most difficult one to deal with is the leader of the Hundred Hunters. We two brothers have almost no chance of winning. As long as we are found by him, we will die or not."
When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart moved. The master-level monk himself didn't take it very seriously. Taking in the Guo brothers was originally a certain risk for him. Now, a master-level monk came here. How could he get away with it? It's no problem, don't be afraid even if he comes looking for you.
With the plan in mind, Mu Sheng chatted with the Guo brothers for a while and arranged for them to find a secluded place in the outer courtyard to settle down. He also cast a spell to add a layer of enchantment to block their auras. They were not very old monsters. It's hard to notice the two of them.
After settling down the two brothers, Mu Sheng didn't care about getting along with Xixue. He went to the study to check some historical information and found that there was no relevant record of Bai Shou. After checking half of the records, the words were unclear. He probably knew that Bai Shou was more than 600 yuan. A department established years ago. At that time, the Jin State had not changed its name. It was still the Liang State. It was equivalent to the Liang State raising an organization of monks specifically to serve the country. At that time, many powerful vassal states in the Central Plains did this. Liang State China is no exception.
In fact, Mu Sheng was a little worried that there might be an old monster-level monk in Baishou. If an old monster came to visit, it would be difficult to fool him. He estimated in his heart that Baishou had been established for more than 600 years and was cultivated with the financial resources of a country. , there should be at least one or two monks who have cultivated the realm of Four Phases and Ones internally.
Although Baishou is not as good as Phosphorus Yun, a thousand-year-old sect like Yuzhen Sect, it is still very powerful.
Mu Sheng thought about it, Guo Huan is just an ordinary person, at most he has some pretty good martial arts skills, so he shouldn't disturb Bai Shou's old monks. Even if Bai Shou sends a master-level monk, He had already given Lao Guo a lot of face, and it was already killing a chicken with a knife. It was only because of the unusual things he participated in that he attracted Bai Shou's attention.
Thinking of this, Mu Sheng was completely relieved. Xixue's graceful figure immediately appeared in his mind, and he laughed secretly in his heart, forget it! It's more important to find Xixue to do business. Ever since he used the double cultivation technique on her, her skin seems to be getting smoother and smoother, which makes people want to stop. I wonder if he is considered a medical beauty practitioner in this era? The kind that also takes action...
A few months later, the cold wind was biting and winter had already entered. The Guo brothers stayed at the Anlehou Mansion for three months without seeing Bai Shou come to their door. Just when Mu Sheng was about to remove the barrier and let the two of them out, The guard reported that the county magistrate Meng Shi suddenly came to visit.
Magistrate Meng is visiting? Mu Sheng's heart moved, and he had to wait in the lobby. He didn't know why he came to visit suddenly.
After a while, Zhixian County Magistrate Meng Shi and three other people came to the lobby in one step or another. Meng Shi didn't need to, and there were two envoys in green accompanying him.
Mu Sheng somewhat understood what was going on, and said to himself that it was a fluke. Fortunately, he did not remove the barrier. He guessed that they had scraped the ground in Zhixian County and still couldn't find the Guo brothers, so they simply came here to have a look. luck.
Mu Sheng took a closer look at the two Tsing Yi envoys. They were both dressed in black, a middle-aged man with a beard on the left, and a young man on the right. At the same time, he also felt the vague spiritual power on both of them. It seemed that they should He is the rumored monk Baishou, but he usually carries out his official duties under the title of Tsing Yi Envoy.
Seeing this situation, Mu Sheng stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Meng, you are such a rare visitor! What kind of wind brought you here today? If I remember correctly, this is the first time for the magistrate to be a guest in my residence. !”
