Chapter 835: Ambition Spreading in Eastern Xinjiang Mu Xianjun, the young master of Mu Mansion, walked slowly by the small lake in the backyard with his hands behind his back, Cui Jiu followed carefully. He has no other feelings for this young master except fear, because he knows very well how strong and ruthless the young master is. Few people know that Cui Jiu is actually Mu Xianjun's servant. Not long after Mu Xianjun was born, Su Yang from Penglai Mountain, who was particularly close to Mu Guangling, saw that he had excellent bones, so he asked Mu Guangling to wait until Mu Xianjun was four years old to send him to Penglai Mountain to learn arts. Cui Jiu was one of the servants sent by Mu Guangling to serve Mu Xianjun. Nearly twenty years have passed, not to mention the diners in Mu Mansion, not even many people in Mu Mansion still remember what Cui Jiu looks like. What's more, his appearance has changed a lot. Not only was he old, but the two scars that crossed his face were so disgusting and hideous that people didn't dare to look at them carefully. This scar was made by Mu Xianjun himself. "Young Master, although those Jianghu people are experts, they are nothing but loose sand after all. Shanhaiguan guard He Dingfang has good cultivation and is good at running the army. If we don't plan carefully, I'm afraid it will be difficult for these Jianghu people to capture Shanhaiguan. It is not known whether He Dingfang can be assassinated So, please tell me how to do it. " "He Dingfang Yuzhong, such a person has a dead brain, no matter how strong he is, there is nothing to be afraid of." Mu Xianjun walked away. He said with some contempt: "If it hadn't been for his father's recommendation, how could he, a prisoner exiled on the border, be promoted to the general of Shanhaiguan? But this man knows how to repay kindness. If he was a man of friendship, he should have come over to persuade his father to start an army. , and then opened Shanhaiguan to welcome his father into the Central Plains He didn't come just because of his foolish loyalty to the Sui Dynasty. He is too stubborn and deserves to die." He glanced at Cui Jiu: "Has anyone ever doubted your identity? "Absolutely not!" Cui Jiu said quickly: "My subordinates have left Mu Mansion for 20 years, and most of the people I knew at the time are gone. Even if they still know each other, they have all forgotten. Such a person. When the young master sent you the news of his subordinate's death early, who dared to doubt what you said? No one in the house doubted it, let alone those Jianghu people. They all thought that I was the same as them. , I came here to join the Mu Mansion because of my reputation." "That's good" Mu Xianjun said in a calm tone: "Father values ??friendship the most. He Dingfang is an old subordinate of his father. We can't let his father know that I arranged to get rid of this person. No one can know that anyone from the Mu family is involved in this matter. Everyone must think that this is a spontaneous action by those Jianghu people to repay the Mu family. Even now, my father has not made up his mind. Tired by false reputation? So, some things must be done in advance so that father can move forward. " "After you do this well, I can legitimately promote you." Mu Xianjun stopped and turned around to pat Cui. Jiu's shoulder: "You have been following me for so many years, and you have always been steady and reliable in doing things, and you understand that a slave should die for his master, so I will not fail to remember your benefits. After this thing is done, I I will ask my father to organize the Jianghu people in the house into an army, and I plan to leave this team to you." Cui Jiu couldn't help but tremble when Mu Xianjun patted him. "Thank you for your cultivation! My subordinates will definitely live up to my expectations and do their best to do this well." "Yes" Mu Xianjun was very satisfied with his performance. He always believed that only by letting the people below have absolute confidence in him Fear leads to absolute obedience. But for the sake of Mu Mansion's false reputation over the years, he had to go against his will and learn from his father, treating everyone politely and being particularly sincere. Of course, he did very well. No one doubted his modest and polite look, because he was really good at acting. Not only did he deceive these Jianghu people, but also his fellow apprentices in Penglai Mountain, and even his master Su Yang always thought that he was a humble gentleman and a kind and gentle person. Only Cui Jiu knows how terrible this person is when he is cruel. Mu Xianjun was arranging everything for today a few years ago. He deliberately told his family that Cui Jiu accidentally fell off a cliff and died. Then he scratched Cui Jiu's face with his own hands and asked him to leave Penglai Mountain and use the life of a down-and-out Jianghu guest. The identity returned to the Mu Mansion. Until now, only Mu Xianjun himself knew Cui Jiu's identity, and even the people in the Mu Mansion didn't see any flaws. As for those charlatans, let alone them. Who would doubt Cui Jiu's origin for no reason? Cui Jiu knew that Mu Xianjun had been waiting for Mu Guangling to call him back from Penglai Mountain. How scary is a young man who could figure out how to act in a few years a few years ago? When Cui Jiu looked down, he could see the skin on his cheekbones.A scar that looks as disgusting as an earthworm. Very few people can see their cheekbones when they look down, but because of this scar, Cui Jiu would feel trembling in his heart every time he looked down. "When employing people, you should still use people you can trust." Mu Xianjun seemed to smile apologetically: "I know I was a little too much towards you at the beginning, but it was also for the sake of your future. Only in this way can you make great achievements. Only then can you stand out. You should also understand that your status is just that of a slave of the Mu family. If you don't get rid of your status as a slave, what will happen to you even if you have made merit? But if you want to get rid of it, what will happen? To become a slave, you only need your father¡¯s nod of approval And with his temperament, will he easily choose you to entrust you with important tasks?¡± Cui Jiu shook his head quickly: ¡°My subordinates all understand the painstaking efforts of the young master. I have always been grateful for the kindness of the young master, and I wish I could repay him with death." "You just need to understand." Mu Xianjun said: "Only in this way, if you fake your death and leave the Mu family, you will no longer be the slave Xiao Jiuzi you were before. It's Cui Jiu, a charlatan. If you do well in Shanhaiguan, my father will not ignore your contribution in order to appease people. When the time comes, I can still help you get the position of a fifth-grade general. Nine No matter whether a person is born noble or humble, he will always encounter some opportunities. When the opportunity comes, only losers will watch it pass by. Do you understand? " "I understand? !¡± Cui Jiu lowered his head and said: ¡°My young master¡¯s orders, I will never give up.¡± ¡°Go.¡± Mu Xianjun waved his hand: ¡°Just do whatever you have to do You just asked me how to get rid of you. He Dingfang, don¡¯t you know that He Dingfang didn¡¯t have a child until he was fifty? Now that child is only one month old. This is his weakness If you need to carefully instruct you to do the next thing, "Then what do I want from you?" "I understand!" Cui Jiu nodded quickly and bowed out. Mu Xianjun glanced at Cui Jiu's back, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. There must be no trace of the Mu family being involved in this matter. Everyone must think that this is an action organized by the Jianghu people to repay their kindness, and it has nothing to do with the Mu family These words were what he just said to Cui Jiu. That said, if Cui Jiu understood what he meant, would he still thank him for his cultivation? ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Penglai Mountain When people in the world are talking about holy places in the world, people in the Western Regions will naturally regard Dalun Temple in the Snow Mountain as a holy place. Because people in the Jianghu of the Central Plains do not have such devout beliefs, the concept of holy places they think is very different from the concept of holy places that people in the grasslands of the Western Regions think of. However, Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple and Wudang Mountain Sanqing Temple are still recognized as holy places for martial arts, because ordinary Jianghu people in these two places simply do not dare to offend. People in the Jianghu in the Central Plains have heard some rumors about Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea. However, the disciples of this sect are too low-key. They rarely walk in the Jianghu and have not left any remarkable deeds. Therefore, That's just what I heard about it. When most Jianghu people think of the Holy Land of Martial Arts, they never think of Penglai Mountain. ¡°If a practitioner as powerful as Master Zhang has never appeared in this place, no one would know about it even if he had. Second, it is not recognized by the court and is located in a remote location. Penglai Mountain is on Penglai Island. There are always some legends about overseas swordsmen among the fishermen along the coast. In the legends, there are always some fishermen who go out to sea to fish. They happen to see the swordsman with great magical powers or to get rid of evil spirits. The dragon, or it saves the fishermen who fell into the sea, anyway, they are the incarnation of justice. These rumors are actually mostly related to the practitioners on Penglai Island. There is only one sect on Penglai Island, called Penglai Sect. This sect has been established for a long time, at least longer than the founding of the Sui Dynasty. According to the rules set by the founder of the Penglai Sect, Penglai Island only accepts those who are pure scholars. I have no other desires, I just want to clean myself up. Therefore, Penglai Sect has never had many disciples. After all, not many people can really set their life goal only on one practice and have no other desires. Because of this, the current sect leader Su Yang felt it was necessary to change this rule, because by his generation, the Penglai sect had less than thirty people in total. When he inherited the position of sect leader, there was not a single new disciple in the mountain! Therefore, Su Yang was particularly afraid that if things continued like this, the Penglai Sect might be destroyed soon. In fact, at this time, Su Yang also faintly realized in fear that by having such an idea, he had strayed far away from the purpose of having no desires and no pursuits left by his ancestor. When he wanted to continue the sectWhen you are young, desire has already arisen. So, he left Penglai Island many times, accepted many disciples, and then became good friends with Mu Guangling, the head of Mu Mansion. In just twenty years, Penglai Island has become extremely prosperous, with 800 disciples, and the mountain gate has become more and more grand. Standing under a big tree, Su Yang watched the disciples practicing martial arts in the square and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction: "The sect is becoming more and more prosperous, and I can be considered worthy of my ancestors. I can't let the Penglai Sect be destroyed by my hands, and How can we continue to prosper the Penglai Sect?" The person standing next to him was silent for a while and shook his head: "The world only knows that there is the Dao Sect in the Central Plains, how can it know that there is me, the Penglai Sect?" "Why? ask. Su Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes If you want the sect to continue, how can you avoid getting involved with worldly rights? Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple has become famous all over the world in just a dozen years, isn't it because The imperial court appointed a national master?" Someone around him said: "The Yang family founded the Sui Dynasty and respected Taoism Now the world is in chaos, the master Don't you see that there is an opportunity in front of you, if someone can After destroying the Sui Dynasty and establishing a new country, and this person has an irreconcilable relationship with the leader, then is our Penglai Sect the next Dao Sect, or even surpassing the Dao Sect? Doesn¡¯t the leader have confidence? "
