The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 446
It is said that when Tong Guan came out of Cai's mansion, it was already the first time when the lights came on.

Riding a horse on the street, Tong Guan couldn't help but get a chill down his spine when he thought that Mu Xu could send someone to the capital to get rid of Cai Xing quietly.

Just now he repeated several times, with the intention of telling Cai Jing and his son all the details of the matter, but every time the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

In addition to the great achievements that he was really reluctant to get, he was also worried that Cai Jing and his son would take their anger out on him.

After all, in the final analysis, the source of this matter lies in Tong Guan, and Tong Jian is now in the den of thieves. If Mu Xu is angered, it may be that his brother will be in danger.

The more Tong Guan thought about it, the more bored he became, as if he was on a thief's boat.

Not long after, when he returned to Tong Guan's mansion, Tong Guan was about to enter the mansion, but the doorman blocked his way, took out a letter in his hand, and reported,

"Master, not long after you went out today, someone sent a letter, and I asked the villain to deliver it to you personally."

Tong Guan was startled, he had a premonition that the letter was probably related to Mu Xu, so he hurriedly took the letter and opened it impatiently.

The content inside really confirmed his conjecture, and it was written on it: Tomorrow Xushi, please tell Tong Shumi Bianhe Wharf, Mu Xu respectfully.

Tong Guan put the letter in his arms, and asked calmly, "Who sent this statement?"

Menzi replied, "Returning to my master, it was given by a street urchin."

Tong Guan didn't say any more, and took his people back to the mansion.After entering the back house, he came to the study in two or three steps, sent out all the servants who were serving, and began to calculate alone in the study.

After some ideological struggle, Tong Guan finally gave up his plan to capture Mu Xu.

First, Tong Guan could not confirm whether it was Mu Xu himself who came this time. If he was just a stand-in, then his behavior would definitely anger Mu Xu, and I am afraid that the gain would outweigh the harm.

Both, even if it was indeed Mu Xu who came here, but if they can ask him to meet at the pier, it means that there is a premeditated plan, how can they be unprepared?

Thinking about the twists and turns inside, Tong Guan couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.It's really disrespectful to think that he is a dignified secret envoy of the Song Dynasty, a celebrity in front of the emperor, who was thrown into a turmoil by a group of bandits today.

In order to save some face, he also warned Mu Xu that Tong Guan deliberately arrived an hour late the next day. It was not until after Haishi that he brought a group of carefully selected guards, dressed in soft armor, sitting in a carriage, and walked slowly. Come to the pier located outside the east gate.

As Tokyo, the city that never sleeps, the only cargo terminal, even at night, there is still a constant flow of traffic here, and there are businessmen and workers coming and going everywhere, and occasionally there are some wandering warblers shuttling through it.

Tong Guan sat in the carriage and waited for about a stick of incense. Just when he thought that Mu Xu had already left because of his late arrival, there was a report from the guards outside.
"My lord, there is a man asking to see you!"

"Let him come over!" Tong Guan cheered up and sat up straight, ready to see if it was Mu Xu himself.

"Yes!" The guard replied, and after a while, he brought a young man with a fleshy face.

When Tong Guan saw it, he was greatly disappointed.As far as he knew, everyone who had met Mu Xu would say that he was so handsome and imposing, that he would never look like this.

The man didn't know what Tong Guan was thinking, before he came to the frame, he saluted carelessly, and then said, "Private Tong is very polite, my young master invites you to go and talk!"

Tong Guan said displeased, "Why didn't he come to see me in person?"

The man looked at Tong Guan like he was looking at a fool, and replied, "If Privy Tong is not afraid of rumors, the villain will go and inform the young master to come and see him?"

Tong Guan was so choked that he didn't know how to answer, he said after a while, "Hmph, the villager is rude! I don't want to argue with you, hurry up and lead the way."

Unexpectedly, the man heard the words, but he didn't move, instead he said, "Private Tong, forgive me! My son still has orders. He said that there are important matters to discuss, and the less people go, the better, so only adults are allowed to bring five followers. "

Tong Guan suppressed the anger in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and thought to himself, "Since that thief has spent so much trouble, there is no reason why he would harm me."

Even though he thought so, Tong Guan finally picked five guards with the best martial arts skills, and told the rest not to leave him too far.

In this way, Tong Guan and his party, led by this man, stopped and stopped, and finally came to a pier where a passenger ship was docked.

There was a flower boat parked there earlier, there were many Yingying Yanyans on the boat, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard. A young man dressed in brocade clothes was standing on the bow of the boat accompanied by two fireworks girls.

Seeing Tong Guan and the others coming, the young master waved his hand, sent the girls away, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Why did Tong Guan come so slowly, Xiao Ke has been waiting for a long time!"

Tong Guan looked at him and knew that this person must be Mu Xu, who had disturbed the whole river.

Seeing that there was no one else around Mu Xu, Tong Guan was about to give an order, ordering his subordinates to rush over and take him down, no matter what happened.

At the critical moment, thinking of his brother's safety and the value of this person in front of him, Tong Guan dismissed the idea, and said with a smirk,

"I'm busy with my affairs, and I lost a niece and son-in-law today, so naturally I came a little late."

"So that's the case, the privy boy has to guarantee his health. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death. We living people should look forward, don't you think so?" Mu Xu replied calmly, and then turned to Ruan Xiao Qidao,

"Xiao Qi, don't invite distinguished guests to come on board. I've prepared delicious food and wine, and I'm just waiting for Privy Tong to arrive."

Following Mu Xu's instructions, Ruan Xiaoqi made a gesture of invitation and said, "Master Tong, please go ahead."

Tong Guan didn't want to lose his momentum, so he immediately put his hands behind his back, stepped on the steps first, and came to the flower boat.

But what he never expected was that as soon as he boarded the boat, Mu Xu immediately ordered the boatman to sail the boat far away.

Seeing the ship leaving the dock and Bianliang City gradually going away, Tong Guan couldn't hold it anymore, he couldn't help but change his face and said, "What does Master Mu mean by this? Could it be that you want to kidnap the old man?"

Seeing Tong Guan's stern look, Mu Xu secretly smiled, "I told you an old fellow to pretend to be me, so you're showing off!"

On the face, he said, "Private Tong is too worried, there are too many people on the pier, I must find a place where there are few people, are you afraid?"

Tong Guan pretended to be calm and argued, "This old man has to go to court early in the morning, how can he be too far away from Fengfu?"

Mu Xu said with a smile that was not a smile, "Private Tong can rest assured that you can see the city of Tokyo."

To Tong Guan's ears, these words seemed to be Mu Xu saying, "If you don't satisfy me, I will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow." Usually, in this way, Tong Guan couldn't help but regret that he was too trusting. Big, it shouldn't be so easy to get on board.

Mu Xu caught a glimpse of Tong Guan's expression and saw that his face was changing, how could he not know that this old guy was greedy for life and afraid of death.But he didn't explain, and even deliberately grabbed Tong Guan's sleeve and pulled him to the cabin, walking side by side,

"Your Majesty Tong may not believe it. This is the first time I've been on a flower boat since I grew up. Today I have to see it well, and it's worth visiting this Tokyo city!"

Tong Guan wanted to break free several times, but he felt a strong force coming from his hand, as if it was not a human but an elephant that was dragging him.

Feeling this inhuman strength, Tong Guan immediately had a guess in his mind, "Could it be that the murder of Cai Xing was done by this person himself, yet he was so bold?
No, this person is lawless, if he forces the old man to agree to some harsh conditions, what should he do? "
