Mu Sheng said: "That's right, Guo Jue, aren't you a descendant of the Moying Sect? Can you make a human skin mask for me that looks similar to mine? I need a substitute that can be fake and real."
Guo Xuan understood immediately upon hearing this. He probably had some private matters that Young Master Sheng needed to go out to do, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get away.
Guo Jue nodded and said, "Sir, I can make this human skin mask, but to make it look real, the process is extremely complicated and will take at least three years."
When Mu Sheng heard this, his scalp was numb, and his heart felt like, three years? By the time the human skin mask was made, the day lilies were already cold. It is estimated that Jin's hundreds of thousands of troops had already flattened and exploded all the highland crystals in their home mountain puppets several times, right?
When Guo Jue saw that Young Master Sheng looked wrong, he added: "There is another way, which is to find someone whose image and temperament are 80-90% similar to Young Master. I can do it in a few months just by making some slight adjustments to the face." The effect is as fake as real.”
Mu Sheng was surprised: "Is this really true?"
Guo Xuan smiled and said: "Young master, you can trust my craftsmanship. The only difficulty is to find someone. People with such handsome appearance and unique temperament are rare, so it is really not easy to find a substitute."
When Mu Sheng heard Guo Jue praise his own image, his old face felt a little warm.
Mu Sheng said: "Okay! Give it a try! If it doesn't work, forget it."
At this time, Guo Huan stared at Young Master Sheng's face and pondered for a long time, then suggested: "Return to the Lord Marquis, in the next generation to run the salt gang in Dongjun, I can mobilize my old subordinates to find a suitable candidate for Young Master, as charming as Young Master It is indeed difficult to find the characters, but it is not impossible. If you are eighty or ninety percent impossible to find, but if you are sixty or seventy percent similar, it should not be a big problem..."
Hearing this, Guo Jue said: "It's okay to have a sixty-seven-point similarity, but it may take a little longer to prepare."
Mu Sheng said: "Okay, that's fine. It's best to get this matter settled after His Majesty's eastward tour and before using troops against southern Xinjiang."
The Guo brothers naturally nodded in agreement.
Mu Sheng did not expect that by protecting the Guo brothers, he could actually ask them for help.
A month later, Mu Sheng felt that Tsing Yi Envoy Bai Shou's group was almost gone, so he took the Guo brothers to an inconspicuous room in Anlehou's mansion and pressed the button.
I saw the stone slabs on the ground in the room sinking, boom! It opened backwards with a loud sound, revealing the entrance to a deep tunnel. This was a secret exit that Mu Sheng found after rummaging through the mansion while he was free. No matter how sophisticated the mechanism was, it was difficult to escape the monk's powerful consciousness.
Mu Sheng turned to the Guo brothers and said: "This is the secret escape tunnel secretly dug by Pingyang Lord Chen Sheng. It leads all the way to the river outside the city. To be on the safe side, you should leave from here. I will send people to stay here from now on." , when you come back, you will also come in through this secret passage, and the people guarding will notify me."
Guo Xuan and Guo Huan bowed to Mu Sheng with clasped fists and said, "Thank you very much, Master, for saving me. From now on, we two brothers will look after you, Master."
"Okay! Those of you who are sure to be considerate of Tsing Yi Envoy on the road, have a safe journey!"
After the Guo brothers said goodbye, they walked into the deep tunnel with a torch and disappeared. Mu Sheng then pressed the button and closed the secret door.
After seeing off the Guo brothers, Mu Sheng also had to prepare for His Majesty's eastward tour. He was supposed to go to the capital to meet the emperor in the spring of next year and attend the Spring Festival meeting. Fortunately, this time, he didn't have to go. The emperor came directly to his door.
However, after this incident, he discovered an important flaw, that is, his fiefdom was too far away from the capital, the core of power, and he could hardly get any effective information. Although he had no intention of competing for the throne, at least he had to be prepared?
The main task of letting the Guo brothers out this time is to find a suitable substitute for him, so that he can escape in the future. The secondary task is to find a suitable candidate for him to establish an intelligence line between Zhixian County and the capital, so that he can understand the situation between the government and the opposition. , at least know what major events happened.
A few years ago, Mu Sheng lived in the capital and knew what was going on in the government and the public without going out very often. Now that Emperor Gao was far away, it was both an advantage and a disadvantage. He was not only separated from the whirlpool of power struggle in the capital, but also severely marginalized. Even major events such as the emperor's eastward tour were told to Mu Sheng by Magistrate Meng.
Magistrate Meng had already issued official documents from the court, so of course he was the quickest to know about it. Only an idle prince like Gongzi Sheng, who had no ears to hear what was going on outside the window, didn't know about it until now? It's definitely not possible to continue like this. At the very least, we have to know ourselves and our enemies!
Through this incident, Mu Sheng still overestimated the speed of information transmission in this era. In this era, communication basically relies on shouting, and going out basically relies on walking. News that everyone in the capital knows may have reached him in half a year. It was old news from before, and now he finally understood what it meant that Emperor Gao was far away...
In the depth of winter, it was freezing cold outside and the north wind was blowing. Mu Sheng received the news of the emperor's southern expedition and thought about the affairs of Yucheng. He would definitely go back to Yucheng in the future, and he would have to take Muyinaqi with him. , I stopped by to discuss state affairs with her, a local.
Mu Sheng quietly left the study, flew up, and arrived at Muyinaqi's courtyard. He walked to Muyinaqi's boudoir, pricked up his ears, and vaguely heard the sound of water inside, and Mu Sheng felt warm in his heart. , clasped his hands, chuckled secretly, silently used his mind and body to disappear into the void and slipped into the house.
Mu Sheng walked slowly around a screen and finally saw the beautiful scenery he had been looking forward to. He saw Muyinaqi taking a bath comfortably with her eyes closed without any notice. Mu Sheng watched her reveal the bathtub, which was as white and flawless as jade. The jade shoulder suddenly became angry and slowly approached her side.
Mu Sheng lowered his head and looked at her pretty face. She seemed to be lying in the tub taking a deep breath with a look of enjoyment on her face. Mu Sheng secretly smiled in his heart. I am an old monster in the Four Phases Reunion Realm. With her level, she couldn't feel anything at all.
Mu Sheng's heart moved, the power of the realm unfolded, and a burst of mist slowly rose in the room... After a while, Muyinaqi seemed to feel something, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a scene that shocked her. She saw her and The bathtub had inexplicably arrived in a peach forest, where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, the sky was clear, the breeze was blowing gently on her face, and the peach blossom petals fell from the treetops into her bathtub one after another.
Muyinaqi was immersed in the beautiful scenery for a moment, and couldn't help but reach out her hands to catch the falling pink petals, but the petals seemed to pass through her jade hands like an illusion and fell into the bathtub before disappearing.
At this time Muyinaqi finally woke up and asked without looking back: "My husband is here?"
Mu Sheng appeared, put his hands gently on her jade shoulders and leaned against her ears, smiling: "Naqi, do you like it?"
Muyinaqi looked back at the face in front of him with a smile, and said: "I like it very much! I didn't expect that you, an old pervert, have so many tricks."
Mu Sheng chuckled and whispered in her ear: "The days are long, Madam, just like it. Madam, with such a beautiful time, how about you and I go to Wushan together?"
Muyinaqi deliberately said in a long voice: "Okay~~ I can't help it. How can a weak woman like me refuse an old monster!"
When Mu Sheng heard this, he pretended to be angry and said: "Since the madam is unwilling, then I have no choice but to love other madams."
Hearing this, Muyinaqi grabbed Mu Sheng's collar and stared at his face, scolding: "How dare you? Since you have sneaked into my territory, don't even think about leaving now."
After saying that, he took the initiative to offer her fragrant lips...
The next morning, Muyinaqi lay lazily on Mu Sheng, caressing his face, and asked: "Come as soon as you come, and send someone to inform you, why do you always like to carry out sneak attacks? If you weren't the only old pervert in this house. Damn it, I thought it was that daring thief who was here to steal incense and jade."
Mu Sheng chuckled and said: "A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing. Don't you think this is exciting?"
Muyinaqi snorted and said, "You are the only one with many tricks."
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "Who made our girl Naqi so beautiful? I can't stop looking at her!"
After saying that, Mu Sheng hugged Muyinaqi's jade-like body again, looking at her peach-like face, he was so horny that he seemed to want to have fun with her.
Naqi noticed his change and struggled: "Oh! You old pervert, you almost tormented me to pieces last night, you're still not satisfied!"
Mu Sheng chuckled and said: "Facing a beauty like you, I will never be satisfied in my life..."
Before she could struggle, Mu Sheng kissed her lips...
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the two of them got up and took a shower.
Mu Sheng breathed a hearty sigh of relief and slumped down on the recliner. Seeing Muyi Naqi dressing up in front of the dressing table, he said seriously: "Naqi, it's business. His Majesty is going to inspect again now..."
Next, Mu Sheng analyzed to her the possibility that the emperor might use Daoshan puppets to attack the Taisha Dynasty.
Muyinaqi asked: "You can handle national affairs yourself. Why do you ask me?"
Mu Sheng said sternly: "Naqi, when my substitute is arranged, I will take you to Shanpu this time to discuss with the elders the Jin army's march south. You are the emperor and empress of Shanpu after all. Women can take the lead." On the other hand, you must also be involved in the decision-making of this mountain puppet's affairs, right?"
Muyinaqi said: "Okay! I don't think we need to go to Yucheng to talk to the elders, send them a letter, and ask them to find a place in the mutual market town on the border of the four Lingnan counties. You can just explain the general direction. You can’t really leave the Marquis Mansion for a long time, this coming and going is very time-consuming.”
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "Yes! You are right, this is fine, it will save time for both parties."
Muyinaqi said: "I always feel that the emperor will not let go of the Shanpu clan easily this time. If we look at the problem from the perspective of the Jin Dynasty, borrowing help from the Shanpu is a bad idea. The risk is very high. In case of the Shanpu By cutting off the Jin army's food supply behind their backs, not only did the great patriarch Ahrami have no hope of recovering his country, but hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line suffered a disastrous defeat. Such a defeat would only cause violent shocks to both the government and the public."
"The most likely and safest choice for the emperor is to use all his strength to destroy the mountain puppets first. With no worries, he can then send troops south to attack Taisha. This is the best policy. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and there is no room for sloppiness. We want us to We have been at war with Da Jin for many years, but the two sides still lack the most basic mutual trust."
Mu Sheng stepped forward and hugged Muyinaqi's body, kissed her, and said: "My wife has the foresight. You are simply my female military advisor. You are good. I have thought of this a long time ago. I also think about it now." I don’t have a clue, how can I make Da Jin trust that our mountain puppets won’t mess with them behind their backs? I can’t be the Immortal Emperor, right? I guess even if I am, they will just treat me as a lunatic.”
Muyinaqi thought for a while and then suggested: "There is only one way to gain the trust of the Jin Dynasty, which is to seek the skin of a tiger! We will form a military alliance with the Jin Dynasty, and we will use all our troops to join forces with the Jin army to attack Tai. Sha, anyway, there is a feud between our Shanpuppet and Taisha, so the reason must be passed. This way, there are no soldiers and horses behind the Shanpuppet, and it is impossible to cut off the food route of the Jin army. The Jin side can also completely rest assured about us. What do you think? "
After hearing this, Mu Sheng kissed Muyinaqi again and praised: "I am so lucky to have a good wife at home. Good! Good! You have to be reasonable. In order to avoid the nest being contained, I can only do this now. I have to do it." Take the initiative to ask Ying to be sent as an envoy to Shan Puppet, to be the "middleman" between Shan Puppet and the Jin Dynasty, and to make some contributions to the imperial court..."
Muyinaqi nodded when he heard this and expressed his approval!
