This is no less than a provocation, and I actually feel angry in my heart! No matter what, I have to take action to capture him, but because of his skill, I am afraid that we are no match, not to mention the people from the Marquis' Mansion, who will inevitably be at a loss once we fight. My heart was fluctuating, and I was even a little panicked. I had no good solution for the moment. When I saw the wine glass, I suddenly found an idea and said: "Being able to meet again is a kind of fate. If you don't drink, don't you feel sorry for the snow all over the sky?" ?" I made up my mind and simply drank with him. He was surprised. Seeing that I didn't pick up on his words and just wanted to drink with him, he immediately saw what I was thinking and smiled unconsciously: "Little brother, you Are you new to it?" As he said this, he also drank a bowl with me.

I nodded and said yes. Mu Shigu sighed a few times. He filled a glass of wine for me and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity. A person like you is somewhat kind, how can you do such a job? It's a pity. Look. You can still drink well, but I don’t know how good your kung fu is. However, you were able to avoid me that day, which shows that you still have some kung fu. Today, people like you have already made a mess. The court does not care about the life and death of the common people. The common people How are you spending your days? Come on, let’s have another drink!”

I didn't know what he meant, but I could see that he was filled with righteous indignation. Just before I opened my mouth to speak, Mushigu had already shouted: "Brother, don't go out to report the news. No one will come at all with the heavy snow in the sky!" It turned out to be Ning Bo! Yang wanted to go out secretly, but Mu Shigu saw him. I glanced at Ning Boyang and thought to myself that I was afraid that I couldn't go out easily today, and that I would have to risk my life here. Unconsciously, I was heartbroken and finished the bowl of wine. , said: "We are members of the public family, and you must be a wealthy person in the world. It is said that we have nothing to do with each other and do our own thing. But you rescued Mou Bin and broke into the palace to steal treasures, and you told us openly, then we I have to be offended.”

Mu Shigu laughed loudly and said: "I can't talk about offending, I'm afraid it's not that easy. The hat you put on me is too big, I don't like it." His voice was extremely arrogant, and I felt very uncomfortable after hearing it. After staying in Jinyiwei for a long time, his temperament became more unruly and arrogant.

As Mu Shigu spoke, he took out a brocade bag from his arms. It was made of yellow satin and embroidered with colorful phoenixes. It looked like something from the royal family. Inside was a nanmu box. After opening it, there was a bead the size of a pigeon egg. In the light of the fire, Under the reflection, it shines brightly.

What's even more amazing is that there is a "ten" on the bead, engraved in gold, which is almost the same as the bead I got from Bao Song, except that the bead is "eight".

The whole hall seemed to light up, and everyone was staring at the bead. I was thinking about how to deal with Mushigu. He drank a bowl of wine and ate beef, but his eyes scanned the surroundings. Seeing that I still looked stupid, he couldn't help but laugh. He said: "You are young and very courageous. Let's do this. I won't make it difficult for you. I ask you for the last time, do you really want to arrest me?"

His words made everyone turn their attention to me. Ning Boyang shook his head vigorously, and Mu Shigu's majesty made them all confused. Why am I not? A good man does not suffer immediate losses, let alone this man, who saved Mou Bin. This is more or less the same intention as Liao Jianzhong and Zhang Yong, so I still have to give this favor. I cleared my throat and said with a smile: "I saw what you can do that day, but I have to take action due to official duties. If you are willing to give me the beads today, I will not make it difficult for you!" After I finished speaking, I felt My back felt chilly. How could Mushigu agree to keep the Night Pearl?

Sure enough, Mu Shigu laughed and interrupted me: "So, little brother, you are very confident in your ability. It's rare, it's rare. It seems that you are an expert and bold. How about we compete with a few tricks?"

I didn't mean this, so I hurriedly said: "I'm afraid this is not good!" Mushigu took a sip of wine and said: "I hate you people wearing colorful clothes the most. You are a good man, why should you be such a bird? Damn it! Now that we are in such a situation, show some manly spirit. You can come together, I will never take your lives, just stop it, so that you will not be unable to do business! "

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out the scimitar beside him, and his eyes became cold. I really didn't know it would be like this. I looked at everyone with timid eyes, and said with caution, "Well, let me compete with you. I lost. It's because I'm not good at it. You can leave, or what?" In other words, no matter what, don’t hurt the people here.” He also said to everyone: “If there is any accident, I hope all brothers will be witnesses and get me back at least!”

Everyone nodded, and Mu Shigu laughed loudly and said: "I lose, this bead belongs to you. I will compete with you in three moves, swords and guns without eyesight. Come on, you strike first!"

I was really riding a tiger but couldn't refuse, so I had to pull out the dagger. Mu Shigu took a look at it and praised: "What a great sword! Can you let me have a look?"

I handed the sword over generously. Mushigu was a little surprised. He took it and looked at it. He nodded and gave it back. I was very puzzled, but it was just an ordinary sword. Mu Shigu said: "I have to be careful when dealing with you. I feel more and more that you are hiding something!" I looked confused and thought about how to resolve the competition. I only heard someone say "Huh", as if to remind me, I suddenly woke up and went to see Mushigu.

I looked at him, and there was a bit more murderous intent in his eyes. In the current situation, I had no way out, so I held my breath, slowly raised my sword, and said: "Brother Mu, come in and attack!" That day Ning Boyang later told me about the scene that I was completely different from usual, with cold eyes and a rare maturity that was extremely inconsistent with my actual age.

Mu Shigu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, said he was offended, and rushed forward. The sword light was like a whirlwind, heading straight for my head. I was startled, and suddenly I remembered the way my friends used to play with branches when I was a child, but I subconsciously picked up the sword in my hand. It was the Yangliu Qingyang that Hu Haisan taught me. Si San and I have said that when fighting against others, the most important thing is to avoid the real and attack the weak. All offensive moves are inseparable from the opponent's vital points. When attacking, one's own vital points are also exposed. Good at Those who use swords often avoid its edge, but attack it unprepared.

There was almost no sound, it was quiet. But I knew that I had stabbed Mushigu, and the blade of the sword actually avoided the scimitar and struck Mushigu's wrist. I didn't know if I was happy or nervous, but I just looked at him intently.

The surroundings were very quiet, no one spoke, their eyes were all on us.

Mu Shigu stood across from me and looked at me for a long time, his eyes flashing with surprise, and he slowly said: "Who is your master?" I smiled awkwardly and said, "This is a family skill, used for self-defense." Mu Shigu didn't quite believe it. Said: "The Zhang family of Baoding Prefecture, I have traveled around the world for twenty years, and I have never heard of it. Judging from your kung fu, you should be from the Southern School, not to mention the Izumo Sword is a good sword! That's all, that's all. I lost to you today. I Admit it." As he said that, he actually pushed the night pearl to me. Everyone exclaimed, probably they didn't expect me to win.

I did it for the bead, but there were people around me. I couldn't say anything else, so I could only smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Mu. I have a business obligation, so I have to do it." Mu Shigu smiled heartily and said: " You are a royal guard, and I am a man of the rivers and lakes. We usually seem to be in harmony with each other, but when it comes to officialdom, we have to face it."

Indeed, Jinyiwei is only responsible for dealing with officials in the world, even those who have returned home after serving. The people Lao Zhu hated most in his life were officials. But when he established the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of officials was the lowest in history. Not only that, he used almost brutal punishments and killed batch after batch of corrupt officials. It has to be said that he thought that the national policy was like this, and the world should have a unified government and people. What makes people laugh is that the more corrupt officials are killed, the more we Jinyiwei and Dongchang become more useful.

Mushigu said, raised his right hand, and I saw a few drops of blood dripping down. I never thought it would hurt him so badly, with a guilty look on his face. He was still surprised, looked at me, and said, "Almost, This hand is useless. Your kung fu is so high, it is really hidden." I saw that he didn't look angry at all, so I felt relieved and said, "Brother Mu didn't use all his strength, and neither did I. Coincidence. A little effort will not make it to the stage." Mu Shigu chuckled and said: "The unity of heart and sword is the dream of every martial arts practitioner. In the past, there was a senior who had been in the world for many years. He had excellent swordsmanship, but he always said I can't achieve the unity of heart and sword, but you have already achieved it at such a young age."
