The lady said nothing. She knew roughly what to do, but precisely because she said nothing, she couldn't refuse Murong Fu.
After all, they are relatives.
Although she is the lady's confidante, she cannot act on her own.
Murong Fu's heart sank slightly, but he maintained his composure and smiled faintly, saying, "I only hope that Mother-in-law can tell me where my aunt and cousin are. I will personally visit them and ask about them! It would be a wonderful thing to have such a good match, a closer relationship than ever before."
Granny Rui sighed and said, "Master Murong, I have already made it very clear before. I really don't know where the Madam and the Young Miss have gone. Please don't embarrass me!"
The smile on Murong Fu's face gradually faded. He stared at Grandma Rui without saying a word for a long time before he smiled and sighed, "I'm so abrupt!"
I hit a snag again.
Knowing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Murong Fu simply stopped asking questions, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then stood up to say goodbye.
Granny Rui was aware of the man's anger, but she didn't say much. She walked him to the shore, watched his boat gradually leave, gave the guard a few instructions, and then turned back.
On the boat, Murong Fu's face was extremely gloomy, and his folding fan was twisted into a dough twist.
"This old woman is truly...hateful!"
When he was a little further away, Murong Fu looked at the sky.
Although he was prepared to use force, he saw that the guards were very tight along the way. If he attacked suddenly and couldn't capture him in one blow, he was afraid that there would be trouble.
So he has to wait!
As time passed, the sky gradually turned dim and then dark.
Taking advantage of the night, Murong Fu changed to a bamboo raft and circled to another remote shore of Mantuo Villa.
call!
Landing on the ground, Murong Fu was already wearing night clothes.
He used his lightness skills to soar into the sky and quickly circled around into the village.
Seeing only the flickering candlelight, Murong Fu watched and listened carefully, then sneaked in in one direction.
We walked to a building that looked like a workshop.
A faint fragrance came over, and Murong Fu's eyes lit up slightly. He stepped forward and peeked secretly. He saw that there seemed to be many strong female workers working inside.
"Sure enough, fresh and precious items like soap all come from inside this Mantuo Villa!"
Looking at the piles of soap bars, Murong Fu's breathing became slightly rapid.
Soap has excellent cleaning effects and leaves a lingering fragrance after use, making it extremely popular. Many wealthy families buy it in large quantities, and the price is not cheap!
This pile of stuff is all money!
Murong Fu took a quick glance and found that there seemed to be quite a few workshops like this in the villa.
Just as I was about to move, I suddenly felt a breeze on my back and was startled.
Without thinking too much, he rushed forward.
A pretty woman in a green robe looked at Murong Fu coldly and shouted, "A thief has sneaked into the villa! Surround him! Capture him!"
The sound traveled far and wide! Suddenly, there was a huge uproar!
The sound of swords being drawn never ceases!
Murong Fu was extremely shocked and confused.
He had no idea how he had revealed his whereabouts.
While secretly angry, he also knew that there was nothing he could do.
So, he wanted to escape without looking back.
But there are so many guards in the manor. If they are alarmed at this moment, they will be in danger of being surrounded!
Faced with more and more guards, which became increasingly dense, Murong Fu began to sweat coldly on his forehead.
These people's martial arts skills cannot be said to be extremely strong, but they are all quite good. If there were fewer of them, it would be fine, and he would still have a chance to leave. But there are so many of them, and they are in groups. It is impossible for him to deal with them easily. Once they are delayed for a while, it will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous!
Just as Murong Fu expected, in just half a minute, he was injured in several places. He wanted to escape immediately, but was always forced to retreat by the long swords coming from all directions, and his heart became heavier.
Too big!
If this continues, he will be seriously injured if not dead!
Murong Fu gritted his teeth secretly, his mind racing, and was about to reveal his identity.
Although such behavior is exposed and shameful, it is not impossible to make excuses.
He used the excuse that his aunt and cousin hadn't been home for a few years and he was worried there might be something hidden going on, so he couldn't rest easy and had to resort to this last resort...
Boom!
At the critical moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the darkness!
With a few palms, he forced back several sword-wielding women surrounding Murong Fu, grabbed his arm, leaped up, and flashed away!
The crowd couldn't catch up with them and could only watch them gradually disappear into the night.
In the darkness of night, Murong Fu was taken away from Mantuo Villa by the man in black at a very fast speed. He did not dare to stay and took a boat down the Taihu Lake for more than ten miles. After reaching the shore, he ran for several miles before stopping at a place and letting go of his arm.
Murong Fu looked at the man's back with a look of surprise and doubt. This man's martial arts skills were undoubtedly far superior to his. He had just tried to break free, but ended up being unable to move. He could only let the man lead him all the way here.
His eyes flickered for a moment, and he lowered his voice and said, "Thank you for saving me! I don't know..."
He wanted to ask something, but he thought that this person was wearing black clothes and a mask, so he probably didn't want others to know his identity. In addition, his situation was quite embarrassing at the moment, and he couldn't reveal Nan Murong's identity no matter what. So he paused, not knowing how to start.
He didn't say anything, but the man spoke.
A cold and harsh voice rang out, "I've long heard the Gusu Murong family's illustrious reputation of 'returning the favor as you would have them do to you'! I thought [Nan Murong] was a truly remarkable young talent, but I never imagined he was such a shameless thief, a thief, and a prostitute! You've truly tarnished the Murong family's reputation!"
When Murong Fu heard this, his face changed instantly and he felt gloomy in his heart!
How could this person be so sure that he was Nan Murong!?
Just now at Mantuo Villa, he had clearly restrained himself from using his family martial arts.
There was a hint of murderous intent in the look he gave the man in black.
Murong Fu took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart. He continued to lower his voice, but it became even deeper. "I wonder who you are? Why do you mistake me for [Nan Murong]?"
The man in black turned and looked at him, his eyes gleaming. In the night, only the faint moonlight shone. Murong Fu was awed, his mind tense. He thought to himself that this man's martial arts were so amazing that he must not face him head-on. He could only feign composure.
I made a plan in my mind, but then I heard the man in black sigh:
"Has the Murong clan really fallen to this point?"
Murong Fu was stunned, and was shocked and astonished for a moment: "You, Senior, are you also..."
Aside from this Gusu branch of the Murong clan, are there any other clan members?
The words just came out of his mouth subconsciously, his mind raced, and he reacted.
wrong!
This person is deceiving him!
As if he saw through Murong Fu's thoughts, the man snorted and reached out to cover his face.
Murong Fu had been on guard against him, and when he saw him make a move, he immediately wanted to fight back. However, when he looked at his face, with the help of the moonlight, he could see his features clearly, and his pupils instantly shrank like needles, as if he had been struck by lightning!
He looked horrified and his scalp went numb!
He screamed in surprise: "Father! Father!?"
When one's mind is shaken, it is inevitable that one will lose his composure.
I took a few hurried steps back, feeling my hands and feet go weak.
Murong Bo looked at this scene, smiled slightly, and no longer pretended to be speaking. He said, "Why? Do you think your father is a ghost?"
Murong Fuyuan was also quite shrewd, but he was shocked when he saw his father who had been dead for many years and came back to life. As it was late at night, he thought he had encountered a ghost.
But when he heard his father's familiar voice and thought about the big hand that had just grabbed his arm, which was warm and strong, and definitely not some evil spirit, Murong Fu was stunned for a long time, but gradually came to his senses. He was surprised and happy at the same time: "Father, you, you are not dead? I always thought..."
Murong Bo laughed heartily and said, "Father has a big plan, so I have no choice but to do this!"
Back then, he spread false news and sowed discord between Song and Liao in order to cause conflict between the two countries and provide the conditions for the Murong family to restore their country in order to gain benefits!
But it was a false news after all, and would eventually be discovered. He could only fake his death to get away, on the one hand to avoid being questioned by the then "leader" Abbot Xuan Ci, and on the other hand to hide behind the scenes!
Sometimes, the identity of a dead person is more useful than that of a living person.
He took advantage of this to stir up trouble everywhere and acted even more recklessly.
Because in the martial arts world, Murong Bo was already dead, and Murong Fu was just a child at that time. No matter how outsiders speculated, it was difficult to imagine that all the chaos was caused by the Murong family.
Murong Fu knelt down, tears of joy streaming down his face, "I'm glad my father is alright!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was filled with shame: "My actions... have tarnished the reputation of the Murong family! I beg father to punish me!"
Murong Bo immediately pulled him up, snorted coldly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Fu'er! Do you think that your father is scolding you for misbehaving? You are wrong!
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters!
It is only right to do whatever it takes!
As long as it benefits our Murong family, why should we be bound by any means? Your father is just annoyed that you are not good enough in your skills! If you fail, it will damage the family reputation! It may even put your life in danger! How unwise!
(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, and comments~)
...................................................
Chapter 353 Murong Bo: In five years at the least, and ten years at the most, the Song court will be in chaos!
Murong Fu was shocked when he heard this: "Father is right! I will learn from you!"
Murong Bo nodded slightly. Seeing the injuries on his body, he asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything serious wrong with your health?"
"It's just some minor injuries, nothing serious. I'm sorry to have worried my father."
Murong Bo snorted coldly, "You are the only child of my Murong family! You are unmarried and childless, how dare you put yourself in danger? If I hadn't been in the dark this time, the Murong family would have been in danger of extinction!"
After hearing this, Murong Fu's face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was filled with fear.
In the situation just now, although he wanted to compromise, it was ultimately wishful thinking.
If the patrolling guards completely ignore the instructions, their lives would be in danger!
Once he dies, the Murong family will have no chance of restoring the country, as their bloodline will be cut off and the family will be extinct!
Then his sin is huge!
Murong Fu's expression was slightly depressed, and he said bitterly, "Father is right. I was indeed too arrogant!"
Murong Bo scolded him, "You're more than just arrogant! You don't know the details, yet you dare to venture into such a dangerous place alone. This is unwise! If your movements are exposed, without any backup plan, it will be even more foolish!"
Even he didn't dare to enter that place at will, so his son was too reckless.
"In the future, remember to think twice before you act!!"
"Yes......"
Murong Bo solemnly warned him, then thought for a moment before adding, "Fortunately, you were smart enough not to use your family martial arts. Otherwise, your identity would have been revealed, and you would have been unable to defend yourself. This would have resulted in a complete rift between our two families, which would have been more trouble than it was worth!"
Seeing his father's solemn expression, Murong Fu's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Father, what's going on with Mantuo Villa? Why...?"
To have such power!
There are so many martial arts masters!
And the caravans that spread all over Jiangnan...
Murong Bo remained silent. He actually didn't know what the situation was at Mantuo Villa.
At the beginning, before he faked his death, there were still connections between the two villages. He was sure that Mantuo Villa at that time definitely did not have the powerful force it has now, but for some reason, in just a few years, it began to show such an amazing foundation.
"Your aunt's background is mysterious to begin with. Perhaps it's related to this."
After much thought, Murong Bo could only come to this conclusion.
Murong Fu thought about the martial arts secrets from various sects in the library, and felt lost in thought.
Wow!
At this moment, faint sounds and lights were heard in the distance.
