Chapter 158 – Hundred Knot

Early the next morning, Xiahou Di’s group of people arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion in great numbers to pay a visit. She came to Spirit State itself, most of the reason was due to Xue Mu’s letter, two serious matters were not talked about, and experienced a common life and death, but also experienced the ambiguity that could not be disclosed.

At this time to find Xue Mu, that mind is really complicated. Xiahou Di even had a few thoughts of turning around and leaving, not knowing how to talk to Xue Mu when she saw him.

Reception of them is the piano fairy Meng Lan, a face apologetic: “My son last night …… uh, anyway just woke up is washing, you wait a moment to use some tea, the son will soon come out.”

Xiahou Di’s face is not unchanged: “It is not in you tossed in the middle of the night, right?”

The so-called Qin Fairy was Xue Mu’s concubine in her eyes. The fact that Meng Lan had stepped in to receive instead of Zhuo Qingqing and the others was precisely for this reason; Xue Mu was not yet married, and Meng Lan was to a certain extent half of a hostess, able to represent Xue Mu in receiving the court’s proper guests.

But no matter how much of a concubine, Xiahou Di’s words were a bit too rude. A group of people watched with their eyes and noses, all not knowing what to say.

Meng Lan did not think it was disobedient, smilingly serving tea, “The Chief Constable is joking, Meng Lan has her own host mother.”

The implication is, you want to be jealous should not be directed at me, I am a concubine, you that is when the identity of the main mother, the opponent is someone else.

Xiahou Di understood, cold snort: “Demon demon, incestuous things hanging on the lips, not ashamed but thought of honor!”

This time incestuous? In the past, did not you not believe that those two are siblings? Meng Lan did not say anything, still smiling: “Chief constable please use tea.”

Xiahou Di a punch in the cotton, no point of use, can only grumble and drink tea.

Over there, Xuan Zhe is transmitting to An Quartet: “You asked me what attitude the Spirit State Rudder should use to treat Xue Mu, now I can answer you ……”

An Si Fang was expressionless: “There’s no need for senior brother to answer, junior brother already understands.”

It turns out that these two goods are still senior brothers, and in private, they don’t even call themselves subordinates, truly hardcore direct lineage.

Xuan Zhe sighed: “In fact, when Xue Mu had not yet taken office, I gave you a hint.”

An Quartet thought for a while, “No, you just said that Xue Mu’s gold medal was personally requested by the Chief Constable.”

“That’s right, you’ve seen the Chief Constable invite gold medals for other people?”

An Quartet was speechless, you were the one who couldn’t get it yourself in the first place, right, this is a really pitiful time to put a horse in the back seat. He thought for a while and asked in a low voice: “But His Majesty’s attitude is the opposite, how to deal with it?”

Xuanzhe calmly sipped his tea, “Why did we leave the Natural Sect in the first place and join Department Six?”

“Because His Majesty is upright and disdains guile and viciousness. Although Department Six has many faults, it always aims to purge the curfew, has the weather of the mountains and rivers, and the power of a hundred beasts, and is compatible with us.”

“Wouldn’t that be enough, do we cultivate our whole life to be loyal to a certain position? Isn’t it still for our own path?” Xuan Zhe put down his teacup, “Since they are all our upper peaks, whoever’s orders are justified and righteous, then we will listen to them. What does the political struggle have to do with us, even if it goes against the emperor’s heart, what can he do to me?”

An Sifang blinks his eyes, secretly said a sinewy and straight mind is quite beneficial, so think about it really nothing to be entangled, even if the father and daughter have differences, what does it matter to them ah.

Xuanzhe let out a low sigh: “This time Xue Mu is also considered to have saved you and me, really want to have tendency, should also follow this.”

An Quartet nodded and said no more.

Xue Mu turned out from the back hall right at this moment, arching his hand all the way and smiling, “Sorry, sorry, let you all wait for a long time.”

Xiahou Di, who was still stinking just now, slightly inclined her head at this moment, and skimmed her lips, “Still injured, and you don’t know how to take it easy, you’re just blindly tossing and turning!”

Xue Mu instantly remembered yesterday’s flirtation, and his eyes subconsciously fell on her long legs.

Xiahou Di stacked her left leg over her right leg, and then switched, her right leg over her left leg, and then she felt her face burning hot, and she got up in a rage: “Where are you looking!”

The whole room was silent.

Xue Mu is also embarrassed to the point of no return, his eyes fluttered about for a while, and the group saluted in the past: “Xuanhou good ah, Li door master good ah, An sheriff good ah …… Uh, this is ……”

Xiahou Di didn’t have the good sense to say, “This is the Tian Long big boss of the Great Zhou Silver Bank.”

Xue Mu’s eyes lit up, turned his head and ordered, “Have someone go and call Pu Xiang here, there is something to discuss.”

Pu Xiang is now in charge of some financial matters at the City Lord’s residence on a daily basis, and is very close to the City Lord’s Mansion, so he hurriedly ran in in less than a few moments, “What are the Chief Manager’s orders? Uh ……”

But at a glance saw Xiahou Di standing in the center, red clothes such as fire, cloak like the sun, long legs full of fit arc, phoenix eyes God Wei austere, valiant, this fat little eyes instantly bright.

Xiahou Di is not in a good mood, will not give this goods any face, just to find the outlet, flying up a foot to kick him out. Seeing a meatball flying out of the door, “bang bang” bounced a few times on the ground, and awkwardly climbed up, lowered his eyebrows and returned to salute: “Pu Xiang has met Chief Constable Xiahou.”

Xue Mu narrowed his eyes, and a cold aura flashed in his eyes. Originally, seeing a beautiful woman and losing concentration for a moment wasn’t a big deal, except that this fat man’s antecedents weren’t very proper and it was reassuring. This Star Moon Sect beauty group, it seems that we must find a time to pack this fat man properly, or sooner or later to cause trouble.

Heart slightly up some killing intent, but now the eyes of all, he did not say more, just faintly said: “The silver bank thing, you have been considering quite a few days, what ideas and Tian shopkeeper exchange.”

Tian Long is an old shopkeeper, white hair and white beard trembling, yesterday’s action he did not participate, arrived in Lingzhou to live in Department Six. At this moment, he got up and saluted, “Lord Xue City’s meaning has already been exchanged between the Chief Constable and me on the way here. I do not hide Xue City Lord, this idea court had a discussion, the final conclusion is that the strength of a family to do the world silver bank, the security problem can not be solved, that is, the court also can not. Either you have to pull in the eight major clans, the three clans and the four paths, and work together as one, which is simply unattainable at the moment.”

Xue Mu nodded, Ji Qingyuan actually wasn’t easy, the force value of the various sects was too high, he was able to control a part of the capital or relied on the Formation of No Violation, too many things externally couldn’t be done as if they were. In the ruling mindset, the heart wants to enhance the control of the court is a matter of course, when the intention to raise the devil’s door to check the righteousness of the right way, is the right way of thinking. Just really do not know what reason suddenly want to kill Xue Qingqiu, simply inexplicable.

Pu Xiang said: “Why bother to reach heaven in one step, let’s do a good job in Lingzhou and the capital first, Lingzhou has our Star and Moon Sect, and the imperial control in the capital is unrivaled, at least the safety of these two places is not a problem. Regarding voucher anti-counterfeiting, I also have thoughts these days, Boss Tian might as well take a look into it.”

See Pu Xiang and Tian Long put together on the side of the study of the wooden plate anti-counterfeiting, Xue Mu on this piece is really not insider, his advantage is self-knowledge, do not understand by no means pretending to understand, mentioning the program can be, haphazardly mixed with the details will only be bad. So do not care about them, turned to Xiahou Di said: “only these two places, then, on my Star Moon Sect basically nothing of interest to speak of, but the livelihood of the two places is favorable, increased trade and commerce exchanges, is Xue Mou in the city director on the first practical things to do it, not counting the corpse.”

Xiahou Di sighed: “Don’t hide it from me, as you said, this is a pilot and a reference for the future. I don’t believe that you would really consider it for the duties of the city lord and not for the future layout of the world.”

“Why not consider my duties?” Xue Mu smiled faintly and didn’t say much.

Xiahou Di’s heart stirred and understood what Xue Mu meant. If the Star Moon Sect could really completely control Spirit State, then Spirit State would be Xue Mu’s base, and it was natural for him to focus on local development.

Just his local development, was it really for the sake of the place? If the imperial court is exempted, will he take it or not? Even if he does, can the Star Moon Sect still withdraw from the Spirit State?

Xiahou Di seriously looked at Xue Mu’s eyes, Xue Mu calmly stared for a while, both know each other although a lot of cooperation, and there may be more cooperation in the future, but in fact there is a big difference in the fundamental position, perhaps one day to pull out the sword against each other only to ……

Xiahou Di remembered once his own mind, once and the Star Moon Sect flipped out, what was the first thing to do to come?

Yes, assassinate Xue Mu.

Xiahou Di’s heart suddenly jumped, his hands suddenly filled with sweat.

The two silently stared at each other, once charming swept through the heart, suddenly became distant and vague, like a dream.
