Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 189 I Never 'Cheat'

Shen Mu and Cao Zhengxiang came to Fengjiang Prison.

At this time, Zhao Taiji was holding a broken knife, leaning against the prison door and sleeping soundly.

Looking at the peanut plate and wine gourd next to him, he knew that he must have drunk a lot of wine again.But this is Zhao Taiji's normal state. If he doesn't drink for a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

With a look of disgust on Cao Zhengxiang's face, he said to Shen Mu: "This kid is drinking on a job again, it's shameful, do you want to wake him up?"

Shen Mu smiled helplessly: "Forget it, let him continue to sleep."

Ignoring it, Shen Mu pushed the door open and entered the prison directly.

inside the cell.

Hu Hong was lying down with his eyes closed, almost accepting his fate.

What Shen Mu told him before, after thinking about it for a while, he really figured it out.

Ming Hezong had really put himself on a dead end.

In other words, when the Nanjing Dynasty found them as a secret, they had already thought of the result like today.

Perhaps among the many chess pieces, their Minghe is just the cannon fodder used by Nanjing to test Dali's attitude towards sealing off borders.

No matter who wins between Minghe County and Fengjiang, it may not get a good result.

He didn't know if Situ Feng, the suzerain at the moment, understood this truth.

But these seem to be indifferent, after all, Shen Mu killed Situ Hai, this feud was settled.

Hu Hong sighed, always feeling tired and unwilling to think about these things.

At this moment, when he heard the cell door being opened, he turned his head to look, and his heart sank slightly.

Why is this kid here again?
And this time, it seems that he didn't bring him a meal!
This is a detail that he considers crucial.

In his opinion, delivering food proves that there is still something to talk about, and if he doesn't come to deliver food, it proves that there is no talk at all?
Could it be that he thinks that I, Hu Hong, are useless and wants to kill me?
He looked at the eyes of Shen Mu and Cao Zhengxiang, and his heart skipped a beat.

Damn, this is not acceptable!

Could it be that he felt that the information he had provided before was inaccurate?
Hu Hong knew that he had no negotiating value in the first place, and if he lost the role of providing information, he would die.

He knew that the person in front of him could do such a thing.

After all, he had seen his ruthless methods before.

Hu Hong stared at Shen Mu who was getting closer and closer, and quickly weighed in his heart.

Although he is still very loyal to Minghezong, but people die for money, birds die for food, people don't kill heaven and earth for themselves.

It is not easy for him to cultivate to the golden body level now, so he also wants to live.

Shen Mu and Cao Zhengxiang walked over.

Glancing at Hu Hong who was nervous on the ground, Shen Mu smiled slightly.

Without any foreshadowing or beating around the bush, he just said directly:
"Want to live?"

Hu Hong's eyes were shocked: "I want to live! I will definitely say anything this time! As long as you want to know!"

"...?" Shen Mu looked confused, good guy, I didn't mention anything, so I just put it in my mouth first?Have a little backbone, okay?That seems unfulfilling.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to tell me all the exercises and fighting methods of all the core disciples of Minghe Sect. I want to know your methods against the enemy."

When Hu Hong heard this, his eyes froze for a moment.

Is this going to be a head-to-head decisive battle with Ming Hezong?

To be honest, if it was one-on-one, Hu Hong felt that Shen Mu was totally worthy.

But facing so many disciples in the entire Minghe Sect, how can they fight?
First of all, where did he come from?Just these ordinary people in the border?
"Magistrate Shen, the Minghe Sect is not counted as the outer sect. There are nearly two hundred core disciples of the inner sect alone, and 50 of them have reached the middle martial arts level. They are all ghost monks, you should know that although they are not as fierce as pure warriors in close combat, they can fight others with ghosts, and ghosts have their own fighting characteristics, so in the early stage, ghost monks must You will have some advantages, you can fight alone, I believe no one is your opponent, unless our lord suzerain comes, but have you ever thought about it? So many ghost monks and so many ghosts go up together, how do you fight Are they fighting? Don't you want Fengjiang City? Can you come here?"

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "This is not a problem for you to worry about. Tell me what I want to know, as detailed as you can, and the distribution of the realms of your Minghe Sect, etc."

Hu Hong looked at Shen Mu strangely, he didn't understand why this person could be so confident.

Even if there is someone beside him who can easily kill Immortal Ascension Boundary.

But if it is really a large number of confrontations, it is not the same concept as fighting alone.

But since Shen Mu has said that, he naturally won't say anything more.

His goal was to escape alive.

"Okay, let me tell you, I can also introduce to you, our Minghe Sect's ghost cultivation technique, and I will tell you all of its weaknesses! But if you can really keep your word!"

Hu Hong decided to liquidate and drag out. This was his last chance.

Shen Mu nodded, his eyes were quite sincere, and he said solemnly:
"Elder Hu Hong, please rest assured, I, Shen Mu, want to keep my word. If you don't believe me, you can go out and inquire about what kind of character I, Shen Mu, am!"

Hu Hong: "..."

This is a bit too much, how the hell can I go out and inquire, and I still have to negotiate with you?

Cao Zhengxiang smiled softly, and at this moment he chimed in: "Yes, I can testify that my lord is a county magistrate who keeps his word, and you should know his status in the hearts of the people in Fengjiang City. Can he be the county magistrate of the frontier?"

Hu Hong heard the words, his eyes changed, and he thought about it in his heart.

It seems to make sense.

Although the previous Shenmu was notorious outside.

But now it seems that the previous rumors should be false.

And often such people are mostly contrary to the rumors.

Otherwise, why would ordinary people accept and trust him?

Hu Hong convinced himself in his heart.

There is no way, Shen Mu and Cao Zhengxiang have both voices and emotions, acting too much like a gentleman.

"Okay, I believe you!"

Shen Mu nodded and smiled, and said sincerely: "It's a pleasant cooperation, but I need to remind you in advance, don't mix some fake things in the information you told me. If I find out, you should know the consequences. There will be no hesitation."

Hu Hong nodded, and smiled helplessly: "I am in your hands now, do you think I dare to play tricks? And behind you is a master who can kill fugues, so he can naturally find out whether what I say is true or not."

Shen Mu was very satisfied.

Then Cao Zhengxiang at the side threw out a jade slip.

"Write everything you know in the jade slip, and after finishing it, give it to Zhao Taiji outside, and let him give it to us. My lord has a kind heart, so you can have fun secretly."

Hu Hong stretched out his hand to take it with difficulty, somewhat relieved in his heart.

Good luck, I still have some use for myself.

That's all for now.

Shen Mu leaves with Cao Zhengxiang.

The next second the two turned around, their expressions immediately revealed everything.

After all, it's a good thing to lie to people without money.

When out of jail.

Then I saw Zhao Taiji standing upright.

He stood at the door of the cell, looking at the door meticulously, and looked like a different person from the sleeping sound before.

Shen Mu and Cao Zhengxiang looked at him suspiciously.

"I said, are you sleepwalking?"

Zhao Taiji looked serious: "Your Excellency, you can joke. After all, I am a soldier. What is that? I used to stand guard in the barracks, and I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. Don't worry, Sir, I have always been dedicated to my duty! "

Shen Mu: "..."

Cao Zhengxiang: "..."

The two had a look of hehe.

Believe in you.

...

on the way back.

Cao Zhengxiang couldn't help asking: "My lord has some good ideas?"

Shen Mu nodded: "I have a little idea, and I found a good place, I will take you to have fun in two days."

"An interesting place?" Cao Zhengxiang's eyes lit up when he heard that! : "How interesting? The cool kind?"

Shen Mu nodded, not sure if it was possible: "Of course, wait a few days for preparation, and I will take you to play in a few days, I guess you will like it."

Cao Zhengxiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his smile was thought-provoking.

"My lord...have you gone to play today?"

"Well, I've played it, it's quite fun, the more main quantity the better, I'm a little tired."

Cao Zhengxing was startled.

What a fire, what a wild game for adults!
It turns out that I like one-to-many!

Cao Zhengxiang's smile gradually became wretched: "Although the old man said that the sword is not old, but this knife is easy to rust if it is not sharpened. I will treat the old man next time, and the adults just lead the way! Hehehe."

With bright eyes, Shen Mu nodded in approval.

"Okay, this place is more hidden, below."

"Oh?" Cao Zhengxiang was surprised: "Yes, this is even more mysterious than the big steamed stuffed bun shop and the steamed buns over there. You have discovered all of this. You are worthy of being an adult."

Shen Mu smiled without saying a word.

Cao Zhengxiang: "Then what is your lord going to do next? Hu Hong gave specific information, and then?"

Shen Mu smiled and pointed to the distance.

"Caishikou."

"Caishikou?"

"That's right, gather 300 monks, if you don't pile up to [-] people this time, you won't get off work."
