The Bandit’s Strategy

[Chapter 21-Take What You Need] You and I owe nothing to each other

After a night’s rest, Wen Liunian’s ankle swelling disappeared a lot, so he sat in the yard and soaked in the sun. Huatang was afraid that he would catch a cold again, so he couldn’t help but took out a big quilt from the house and wrapped the person tightly. .

The air was refreshing and the sun was warm, and Master Wen was lying on the rocking chair swaying, feeling very comfortable.

Zhao Yue passed by the courtyard accidentally.

Wen Liunian said enthusiastically, "Master!"

Zhao Yue paused, and it took a long time to find someone from a pile of quilts.

Wen Liunian struggling to sit up, stretched out his hand to pick up a pot of red fruits from the table, "Do you want to eat it?"

Zhao Yue said, "No need."

Wen Liunian saw the posture as if he was about to get up, but he had no choice but to dress with many legs and legs and was inconvenient, so the picture looked quite tragic.

Zhao Yue had to step forward and pulled him up.

Wen Liunian panted, "Thank you very much."

Zhao Yue shook his head and turned around to go out.

Wen Liunian said, "If the master is okay, why not sit down and have a chat?"

Zhao Yue said, "I have a lot of things."

Wen Liunian said, "About Mujiazhuang."

Zhao Yue frowned slightly.

Wen Liunian looked at him.

Zhao Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally pulled a chair and sat down, "What are you going to talk about?"

Wen Liunian said, "Mu Jiazhuang and Chao Muya are far apart. I wonder why the Mu brothers would have grudges with the master?"

Zhao Yue said, "The adults don't need to know this."

Wen Liunian said, "But the official is curious."

Zhao Yue:...

If you are curious, I must say?

"Since we want to cooperate, naturally both parties should be more honest, so that we can discuss the next steps." Wen Liunian said, "If the boss has any doubts, you can also ask the official."

Zhao Yue said, "I and his brothers have a personal grievance."

Wen Liunian said, "You can also talk about personal grievances a little bit." He was very unyielding.

Zhao Yue said, "Kill his father's hatred."

Wen Liunian was slightly stunned when he heard the words. He had previously considered what kind of hatred he was, but he didn't expect it to be such a hatred and deep hatred.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who asked more." Wen Liunian apologized.

Zhao Yue shook his head, "It's okay."

For a while, both sides were speechless, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. After a while, Wen Liunian picked up a red fruit and handed it over, and asked again, "Do you want to eat it?"

Zhao Yue took it over silently.

Wen Liunian picked up one himself and took a bite.

Crisp and sweet, very delicious.

So when Lu Zhui and Zhao Wu entered the hospital, what they saw was the...magic scene of the two sitting opposite each other and eating red fruits.

It seems a little weird.

The head of Lu Er was a little frightened.

"Morning." Wen Liunian greeted him with a smile, trapped in a pile of quilts.

Zhao Yue dropped half of a red fruit in his hand, "I will go to the top of the mountain to take a look."

Lu Zhui wondered, "Why go to the top of the mountain now?" There was clearly only a fish pond there.

But Zhao Yue had already stepped out of the small courtyard, and his back looked a little embarrassed.

Huatang glanced at Wen Liunian deeply.

Master Wen raised his hand and explained, "The official did nothing, but only asked the master to eat two fruits."

Lu Zhui obviously didn't believe it.

The hurried posture just now is obviously because I am afraid that I will be molested if I go too late...

In the Yamashita Mansion, Mu Qingshan was rolling out the noodles in the kitchen-because the two of them went out and strolled around, when they came back, the rest of the people had already eaten, and the aunt who didn't want to bother to cook, so he planned to make a bowl of noodles by himself.

Shang Yunze asked, "Can you help me?"

Mu Qingshan thought for a while, "Do you know how to wash vegetables?"

"Natural." Shang Yunze rolled up his sleeves.

"Just pick some green vegetables and garlic sprouts." Mu Qingshan took a piece of beef and shredded it.

Shang Yunze threw the vegetables into the water and rinsed them, then took the basin into the kitchen, "It's done."

Mu Qingshan glanced, "The mud is still on it."

Shang Yunze:...

Mu Qingshan continued, "There is also a cabbage worm."

Shang Yunze touched his nose, then went to the courtyard to wash with the basin.

"Otherwise, I'll come." Mu Qingshan said, "The lord of the castle can go to the dining room and wait."

"Waiting is boring, far better than having fun here." Shang Yunze refused.

"I don't know when the lord will come back." Mu Qingshan shook the water drop on his hand.

"Otherwise I will take you into the mountain?" Shang Yunze asked.

"No, what if something happens in the government office." Mu Qingshan squatted beside him and urged, "Hurry up and wash the vegetables."

Shang Yunze raised the corners of his mouth, in a good mood.

The beef and greens were in the pot, and two bowls of noodle soup were quickly cooked. Mu Qingshan added an extra spoonful of Wen Liunian's spicy sauce and placed it on the stone table in the small courtyard.

"True virtuous." Shang Yunze took the chopsticks and stretched out his hand to scrape his nose, "Anyone who can get married with you in the future will definitely be a blessing."

Mu Qingshan was a little embarrassed, "I never thought about getting married."

"Why?" Shang Yunze looked at him.

"Be more comfortable alone." Mu Qingshan said, "Besides, I can't take care of others."

Shang Yunze smiled and fed him the beef in the bowl without asking more.

In the evening, Wen Liunian and his party finally returned, along with Zhao Yue and Lu Zhui.

"My lord is injured?" Mu Qingshan was surprised.

"Maybe something." Wen Liunian said, "I accidentally fell off the cliff, but fortunately I was rescued by the head of Zhao Da."

The dark guards also nodded, saying that the scene was scary at the time, and we couldn't help but fainted.

Mu Qingshan said sincerely, "Thank you for that."

Wen Liunian nodded, "This official will naturally."

Zhao Yue:...

He didn't actually need any thanks, he just hoped that after the matter was resolved, he would never see each other again.

The prefect’s yamen is not grand, but the study is very large, more than enough for more than a dozen people. Mu Qingshan picked up the lanterns, and ordered someone to make tea and get a snack, obviously in a posture to talk all night long.

"What do you plan to do next?" Zhao Wu asked.

Wen Liunian said, "I will say no to Mu Jiazhuang first."

Zhao Yue said, "Promise them."

Wen Liunian was a little surprised, agree?

"Since you are actively trying to help, you don't need to do it in vain." Zhao Yue said.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone else felt that... this statement was not in Zhao Yue's style at all, but was somewhat similar to Wen Liunian's style of behavior.

Since there is a bargain, it must be accounted for.

"But they have enmity with the master." Wen Liunian said.

"My lord is worried that I will kill him?" Zhao Yue asked.

Wen Liunian shook his head and said calmly, "I don't want Mu Jiazhuang to hurt Chaomuya."

Zhao Yue:...

Lu Chau smiled, "Thank you for your kindness."

"Why let the people from Mujiazhuang come?" Wen Liunian asked.

Zhao Yue said, "Take revenge."

Since I had already heard of the private feud between Zhao Yue and Mu Wanlei when I was on the mountain, there were no surprises for the rest of the scene except Shang Yunze and Mu Qingshan.

Wen Liunian frowned slightly, obviously not agreeing.

"My lord, don't worry." Lu Zhui said, "We will definitely not touch Mujiazhuang until the suppression of bandits is completed."

"But Mujiazhuang may not be able to move the two masters." Huatang said, "Since Mu Wanlei has written a letter and said that he wants to come to the boundless city to help the adults suppress the bandits, he has already made clear that he has been prepared. At this time, the mountains will inevitably be chaotic. Even if Chao Muya does not want to participate in it alone, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not make secret moves."

"How about this?" Wen Liunian scratched his nose and suggested, "Since Mujiazhuang insists on coming, let them come. It is okay to have multiple helpers. As for the personal grievances between him and the master, as long as it does not affect the suppression. As a result of the bandit, this official is determined not to intervene."

Zhao Yue nodded, "I will wait until the vast mountains are completely calm, and then settle accounts with him."

"In this case, when the government officially suppresses the bandits, the head of Zhao Dao can bring people down the mountain secretly, without participating." Wen Liunian said, "When the time comes, leave an empty mountain top to behave, and Mu Wanlei will not knowledge."

"Where do you want to live down the mountain?" Huatang asked.

Wen Liunian looked at Shang Yunze.

Lord Shangbao said with interest, "There are many guest rooms in Tengyunbao."

"That's it." Wen Liunian made a final decision.

Lu Zhui also nodded, "I will draw a topographic map of the vast mountain and the dens of the bandits as soon as possible."

Wen Liunian said, "There are two jobs."

"My lord, you are polite." Lu Zhui said, "As said that day, since it is a cooperation, naturally both parties must have some sincerity." You brought people to the vast city for me, and I exchanged the topographic map of the mountain, and each took what he said. No one will feel disadvantaged if the two need not owe each other.

The two parties quickly reached an agreement and went away to rest. Wen Liunian sat in the study thoughtfully, as if thinking about something in his heart.

"My lord is still thinking about Zhao Da's house?" Huatang asked.

Wen Liunian returned to his senses, wondering, "Why should I miss him? I just left."

Huatang:...

Well, I just asked casually.

"Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong are not good people." Zhao Wuye said, "I often do whatever it takes to achieve the goal. Although this time the other party is here for Zhao Da, the adults still have to be vigilant."

Wen Liunian nodded, "This official knows."

"My lord, go to bed earlier." Huatang said, "It's not too early. Tomorrow, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be a big drama in the city, and the adults have to visit the centenarian."

Wen Liunian nodded, "The two rested earlier."

Outside the other bedroom, Shang Yunze was knocking on the door.

"What's the matter with the lord of the castle?" Mu Qingshan was a little puzzled after opening the door.

Shang Yunze asked, "Drinking?"

"Huh?" Mu Qingshan didn't hear it.

"Wine from the Western Regions." Shang Yunze shook the wine pouch, "Very sweet."

"It's late." Mu Qingshan hesitated.

Shang Yunze smiled, "Drinking alone is too boring."

"..." Mu Qingshan hesitated, before letting Shang Yunze into the bedroom.

It's really good to lie.
