Yu Mugao was sitting on a high position in the hall, and the two guest ministers at the peak of qi training on the side stood respectfully, no one in the empty hall dared to speak, Yu Mugao looked slightly tired, obviously suffering a lot during this time, and said in a deep voice:
"Mu Yuan, is there no news about Mu Jian yet?"
The person at the bottom was thin and tall, and his eyebrows were seven points similar to Yu Mugao, but he was not as gloomy and vicious as him, and he was one of the two people who had followed him in the past, nodded when he heard the words, and said respectfully:
"The fourth brother said he was looking for a place to polish the sharpness of the sword, and went to the north, and he has been going there for a few months, and I haven't seen him come back yet."
"Bastard thing."
Yu Mugao scolded in a low voice, but he also had no way to deal with this younger brother who was bent on pursuing swordsmanship, and sighed in a low voice:
"Mu Yuan, fortunately, you are watching, otherwise there will be so much trouble at home, and I will have to tire me to death."
"I don't dare, just share my worries for my brother."
Yu Muyuan replied, and a person hurriedly walked up below, holding a letter in his hand, handing it to Yu Mugao, and said in a low voice:
"Master, a secret letter from Ma Haiji from Huaqianshan!"
Yu Mugao raised his eyebrows, looked gloomy, took the letter, slapped the wax seal, took out the letter paper and read it twice, his face suddenly looked ugly, and he gritted his teeth and shouted:
"What an An Jingming! I haven't paid attention to him these days, which has brought him to this point......"
He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and handed the letter to Yu Muyuan, who was the next leader, Yu Muyuan took the letter with both hands, glanced at it, and couldn't control himself for a while, and shouted:
"This! How is it possible! It's only been a few years? An Jingming has reached this level of cultivation?!"
"Eight layers of qi training, how is this possible, this cultivation speed is not a demon? Is the news of the Li family reliable? My family has a very good relationship with the An family now, could it be a way to sow discord and ask my family to target the An family?"
Yu Mugao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, shook his head, and said in a deep voice:
"It's unlikely, the Li family has always been restrained, Li Tongya is not a troublemaker, according to that person, this news should not be the Li family's plan."
Neither Li Yuanxiu nor Yu Mugao thought that in order to highlight his contribution, Ma Haiji added fuel and vinegar to the letter, describing the process of getting the news as a matter of death, which affected Yu Mugao's judgment and made him more and more certain about this news.
Yu Muyuan clasped his hands and gritted his teeth.
"If that's the case, this son must not be kept!"
Yu Mugao's face was terribly gloomy, An Jingming's cultivation progress far exceeded his expectations, he sighed deeply and said in a low voice:
"Naturally, I can't stay, my family will kill this person, with his cultivation speed, I'm afraid it won't take a few years to break through the foundation, and then there will be variables, it's best to suppress the Li family and the An family together, so that they will all suffer a setback."
Yu Muyuan looked at his brother and was still thinking, knowing that Yu Mugao was probably thinking of some poisonous schemes, his brother had always been wild-minded, unexpected, vicious and insidious, and he had never missed the targeted characters so far, so he never made a sound, just waited silently below.
Yu Mugao only thought for a few breaths, he already had a plan in his heart, and said in a low voice:
"The An family revealed the location of the Li family's towns, and arranged for the people who infiltrated my family, which is the best."
"Now I have a way, first kill the Li family's prestige, and then catch the An family off guard, I have been waiting for these two families to indulge for too long, and it is time to restrain these two families."
Yu Mugao smiled slightly, obviously already winning, and said softly:
"Let Jiang Keqing come up."
The servant below hurriedly arranged it, and not long after, he brought in an old man with white hair, his face was wrinkled, he looked at least one hundred and fifty years old, his cultivation was only three layers of qi training, and his breath was dying, but he laughed and bowed his hands and said:
"Master Yu, it's been a long time! I wonder how many people still need to be removed today?"
"Jiang Keqing!"
Yu Mugao was very polite, obviously respecting this Jiang Keqing, and said with a smile:
"There is indeed someone who wants to get rid of it, but it will trouble you, sir."
Jiang Keqing sat down on the mahogany chair on the side, raised his feet carelessly, Yu Mugao did not show any annoyance, but greeted Yu Muyuan and said with a smile:
"Please accompany the fifth brother!"
————
Ma Haiji lit the fire, wrapped the letter, put it on the fire, and saw that the letter had disappeared, so he breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, packed his things, and prepared to go home.
Ma Haiji took a few steps, turned back, stepped on the fire, covered it with dirt, and then nodded with confidence, walked out dozens of steps, and suddenly felt something was wrong, squatted on the ground, and muttered:
"The Li family attaches so much importance to this news, they must have their own plan, I have already passed this news to my home, Yu Mugao will definitely destroy it, and finally the Li family will always notice the leakage of the news......"
"If Tian Zhongqing went back to the yard, saw the letter on the ground, and asked the servants, he would definitely know that I was the only one who had been to this yard, wouldn't it be exposed?!"
Ma Haiji's body was shaken, and he was greatly distressed for a while, his heart was gloomy, and he said to himself:
"There is no turning back now! You must not go back to Li's house again, I am afraid that the family has already set up a net, and going home is just a dead end."
With his luggage on his back, Ma Haiji was already terrified in his heart, and muttered:
"I can't wait for a reply at home, I should leave now and run home!"
Ma Haiji still had some brains, sorted out the ins and outs for a while, packed his bags and went into the forest, walking north for a stick of incense, covered in blood stains by branches and thorns, but he didn't want to suddenly fall in front of him.
This man was dressed in a rather simple robe, draped in a simple gray robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, with a graceful demeanor, his eyes stared at him tightly, and said with a smile:
"Where are you going, sir?"
Ma Haiji was shocked, trembling in two waves, knowing that he had revealed his filling, and cried:
"Who is Your Excellency?"
"In the lower Chen Donghe!"
Chen Donghe smiled slightly, glanced at Ma Haiji, and said in a low voice:
"Your Excellency is very sensitive, if I hadn't waited by the side long ago, I'm afraid I would still have let you escape."
"Chen Donghe... Qi training monk!"
Ma Haiji has been in the Li family for many years, although he has always been an ordinary official, but he knows Chen Donghe's name, so he took out a dagger from his waist and cut it directly into his throat.
But Ma Haiji was just a mortal, Chen Donghe only flicked his fingers, and the dagger in Ma Haiji's hand was hit by the air, and the diameter came out of his hand, landing on the side of the small river, and with a wave of his hand, Ma Haiji collapsed softly to the ground.
Chen Donghe looked at Ma Haiji pitifully, took this person up with the wind, and headed towards Lijing Mountain in the west.
