Chapter 196 The tiger does not power

The door-to-door door to the east bed is naturally precious. Qin Mubai arrived at the Wu family, and all the people in the room were overjoyed to welcome him.

The Spring Festival will be the New Year in a few days. Now the decoration business of the world's first wine is suspended, and the people of the Wu family have been busy for a year and have temporarily rested. It's quite comfortable to have a banquet for good wine and dishes at home.

After this year, the Wu brothers also saw the power of Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang, and finally obediently accepted their fate. Now in this martial arts family, Wu Mei Niang is already the head of the family, and Qin Mubai, the "unless" son-in-law, is also the most important. Although his surname is Qin, he already looks like the head of the Wu family.

Qin Mubai took the initiative to visit. Wu Mei Niang was naturally happy, and she was also happy with her mother Yang. As soon as he sat down, Yang was about to go to cook in person and said to make him some specialty snacks to taste.

Now Qin Mubai feels that the martial artist is really rich. Even if it is an ordinary maidservant, the new clothes worn during the Spring Festival are also valuable high-quality fabrics. There is no shortage of New Year's goods at home, and there is no shortage of delicious food. Half a house can be installed with several cars. The profit that is going to be distributed during the Spring Festival alone is that there are thousands of cash, and a few large boxes are wrapped in red cloth bags.

You can imagine that it is not easy for Wu Mei Niang to be this family. This little woman is really capable.

"Hee hee, Mu Bai, why did you think of taking the initiative to come to my house today?" Wu Mei Niang smiled at him.

"It's almost the Spring Festival. Should I come and have a look?" Qin Mubai also smiled, "It's right to visit my future mother-in-law and brother-in-law."

"Oh, your mouth is sweet, I knew you must have something to ask me for help." Wu Mei Niang said, "Say it quickly. What's the matter?"

"Isn't it Xue Rengui's business?" Qin Mubai smiled and told her the truth.

Wu Mei Niang thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, after the world's first wine was closed, Liu had nothing to do for the time being, and the couple had no place to live. I saw that the couple were pitiful, so I invited them to live in my house, but they refused, and they resolutely refused to send money and goods. I have no choice but to let them do. I heard that they rented an old private house in Quchifang in the south of the city to settle down there for the time being. Liu's stomach is already very big. It is estimated that it will be a month or two to give birth. I don't know what the situation is now. It's just today. Let's go and have a look.

"It's good."

Soon after, Qin Mubai enjoyed the snacks made by the Yang family, chatted with the Wu family for a while, and then took a bus to the south of the city with Wu Mei Niang.

No matter how prosperous the place is, there are shadow corners; in the world, there will always be a difference between the poor and the rich. Quchifang in the south of the city is synonymous with Chang'an slums. At the beginning, the demon took a group of little girls to rent there. Because renting a house there is much cheaper.

This reminds Qin Mubai of today's "ant clan". In Chang'an, not all people can float pleasantly. Maybe renting an inn here for half a month is enough to live a comfortable life in ordinary states and counties for a year.

The carriage walked slowly under the snow and went south of the city.

Wu Meiniang huddled her hand under Qin Mubai's cloak and put it in his armpit to keep warm. She said, "Why did Li Ke suddenly think of such a noise? Doesn't he always claim that he just wants to live a peaceful life? It seems that he is also ambitious after all!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "People have desires and have different ideas in different periods. Previously, Li Ke was degraded and impeached. Of course, he just wanted to be a prince of peace. Now he has turned over, and it is reasonable to hope that he can rise to the throne one day. This trip to Jiangzhou made him feel the distress of the shortage of major generals at hand. If it hadn't been for me and Quan Wanji helping him, I'm afraid he would have overturned. Taking advantage of the opportunity of external transfer to recruit talents, the emperor will not say anything. In fact, his main purpose of doing this is to target Xue Rengui.

"Yes, I can see it." Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Li Ke is a person who has no airs. The more such a person is, the greater the ambition in his heart must be. Otherwise, why should he be like this? Isn't it more worry-free to live a leisurely life alone? I guess he made a lot of fanfare because he missed you before and didn't want to make the same mistake again. He must get Xue Rengui. Mu Bai, you try your best to help Li Ke like this... Is it because you are optimistic about him?"

"What's good about him?" Qin Mubai smiled and asked rhetorical.

"Ask knowingly!" Wu Meiniang said, "Now that the imperial court is competing for the throne, the people in Chang'an are talking about it, pointing directly at the prince and the king of Wei. The king of Wu faded out of sight for a long time and was almost forgotten. Will he always keep a low profile and wait for the profits?"

Qin Mubai paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Mei Niang, are you very clear about these things? It seems that you are also very interested?"

"Ha ha, there is no shortage of long-tongued people in restaurants, from national affairs to parents. You can know what you want to know." Wu Mei Niang said, "I'm also fascinated by it, and I unconsciously care about it. Anyway, my Mu Bai is the person in the game. Can I care less about it?"

"Your Mu Bai?" Qin Mubai smiled.

"If it's not mine, who else is it?" Wu Mei Niang stared at him and gently pinched his elbow. "No matter how many women you have, I said you are mine, that's mine!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Okay, it's yours. After all, Li Ke is definitely not a lonely person. Now his style is very tight. At most, he only says yes to me. In order to protect himself, he wants to strengthen some power. But it's just to cover the barrier. I clearly feel his ambition, or ambition.

"I know that you and Li Ke have a good personal relationship, but everyone in the world knows that Li Ke is just a concubine prince, and it's not his turn to compete for the throne!" Wu Meiniang said.

"Oh!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Are you and I also a bastard? What is the status of you and me among the Qin and Wu families now?

"That's different!" Wu Mei Niang said, "They are royal, and there is a powerful figure like the emperor on it!"

Qin Mubai paused for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later. I'm not determined to help Li Ke fight for the throne now. Previously, the emperor also asked me to help Li Ke and mention him more. It can be seen that in the emperor's mind, my position is still with him, but he sent me there. No matter how those princes fight, I will try my best to maintain the emperor's trust in me.

"Yes! No matter which prince you follow, it's no better than following the emperor! As for the future, let's talk about it later!" Wu Mei Niang said, "Now the emperor trusts you and treats you as half a son!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"

"No!" Wu Mei Niang said andly, "I'm learning from Princess Gaoyang. Everything is for your own good, that's fine. In fact, when I see you with Princess Gaoyang, I really can't get through this. But on second thought, she is the emperor's favorite princess. If you can marry her, it will also be of great benefit to you. What's more, she is indeed deeply infatuated with you. Hey... I have to wrong myself and slowly adapt and accept it!"

Qin Mubai smiled meaningfully and said, "It seems that Princess Gaoyang told you a lot that day!" Can such a smart person as you be moved by her stupid girl?

"What, there is no!" Wu Mei Niang stared at Qin Mubai angrily, "Don't talk from my mouth!" If I didn't tell you, I would definitely not tell you!"

"General, boss, here we are." The carriage stopped, said the driver outside.

The two got out of the car and saw a small farmhouse in the thick snow.

"Mr. and Mrs. Xue Rengui live on that side." The driver who knew the way pointed to the road ahead.

"Okay, the two of us will go there." Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang moved forward hand in hand. Their temperament and luxurious dress seemed to be a little incompatible with the surrounding scene.

Most of the people who live here are peddlers who pull cars and horses in Chang'an, or farmers who work as tenants for rich people in Chang'an, and live on their meager income. In the low and dilapidated private houses, ragged people can often be seen walking back and forth. The black smoke from the old firewood came out of the roof of the house, and someone coughed violently from time to time.

There is a layer of snow in Xue Ren's yard that has not been cleaned, and there is a row of clear footprints, as if going out. The house is very quiet, and there is no fireworks.

The two opened the fence and walked in. They stepped on the snow and creaked. Then they heard a woman's voice inside: "Ren Gui, are you back? I'm so hungry. Have you brought back any food?

"It's Mrs. Liu!" Wu Mei Niang frowned and quickly stepped forward into the room. "It's me."

"Ah, boss!" There was a lot of surprise in Liu's voice.

Qin Mubai did not enter the house to avoid suspicion and waited outside the house.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? You look so pale? Where's Brother Xue?" Wu Mei Niang asked anxiously.

"I... I'm fine." Liu lowered his head with some shame and muttered.

"I just heard you say you were hungry?" Wu Mei Niang looked around. There were two empty bowls on the table in the room, and only a little unfinished vegetable soup had been frozen into ice. She couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Where's Brother Xue? Why don't I take care of you at home! Really!"

"No... Don't blame him." Liu lowered his head and began to cry.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on? Tell me quickly!" Wu Mei Niang sat next to her and asked patiently and softly.

Liu Shi sobbed a few times and finally spoke slowly--

"A few days ago, we moved out of the world's first wine and rented it here. Although he was a little poor, he was originally well and lived a good life. But three days ago, I accidentally moved the fetal gas, so I had to go to the doctor for treatment. At least I protected the child in the fetus. But... the only little money has been spent, and even the house money can't be paid, and the family can no longer open the pot. Originally, Rengui planned to go to Zhongnan Mountain to hunt for a while, but a heavy snow blocked the mountain road. How could he get prey? Today, the cooking is completely cut off at home, so..."

"What is it?" Wu Mei Niang asked anxiously.

"So... Rengui took his Fang Tianhua halberd and went out to sell it." After Liu said that, he wiped his tears sadly, "This Fang Tianhua halberd is like a benevolent **. No matter how poor and miserable he is, he is unwilling to give up. I didn't expect it to be now..."

"Oh!" Wu Mei Niang sighed anxiously and angrily, "If you are in trouble, you should tell me!" Brother Xue is really suffering from face to death! Didn't I invite you to stay in my house not long ago? He refused because he was afraid of disturbing him. I wanted to send some money and food, but he didn't want it. It's good now... That's all, let's not talk about it! First of all, Sister Liu. Now you go back home with me. I will ask my maidservant to take care of you. It's about to give birth. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child! As for Brother Xue, he can't help it this time! He will suffer and let him go. He deserves to starve to death!"

"Woo-woo..." Liu Shi cried and was about to get out of bed and kowtow to Wu Mei Niang with his big belly in his arms. "Dong, you are really the great benefactor of our mother and son!"

Qin Mubai was annoyed to hear it outside the door. He walked into the room and said, "Sister-in-law, don't do this, just go back home with Mei Niang!" No matter how hard you are, you can't suffer, child. As for Brother Xue, if he dares to be tough again this time, I will send one hundred and eighty soldiers to tie him up and see what he has to say!"

Liu Shi said with a smile, "General Qin is also here... I'm really sorry to make the general laugh. Rengui has that kind of temper. As the owner said, he wants to suffer face, and I also advise him not to come back. If the general wants to tie it up, he will tie it up. He has such a bad temper, so he can't be polite to him.

"Okay, stop it. My sister-in-law, pack up and follow me." Wu Meiniang said.

"Uh-huh!" Liu Shi said, "Rengui put in the label and sell the halberd in the West City. It should be easy for the general to find it."

Soon, Wu Mei Niang carefully took Liu Shi out of the car and went to the Wu family first. Qin Mubai went to the West City alone and rented a carriage halfway. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

"Xue Rengui, this pedantic guy who wants to face and suffer! Don't be too polite to him!" Thinking of this, Qin Mubai said to the driver outside, "Go to the Xuanwu Gate of the palace!"

"This Lang Jun, is the palace the place where the villain can wait for the carriage to go?"

"If you go, you can go. Don't talk nonsense!"

Soon after, a dilapidated civilian carriage opened the door of the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City and entered the Baiqi Camp.

At the time of the imperial court's annual leave, most of the officials have been on holiday, and only some officials are left on duty. Qin Mubai, a hundred-rider who had not yet left office, directly called Pang Fei when he entered the official office and asked him to order 20 hundred-rider sergeants and go out to work with him.

Pang Fei was shocked. He thought that Qin Mubai was going out to fight in a group, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately called 20 of the most powerful and trusted confidants, all of whom were fully armed with Dutch knives, put on horses and wait for punishment.

Qin Mubai didn't talk nonsense. He asked Pang to fly to the West City to find a person named Xue Rengui who was inserting a halberd. Don't talk nonsense to him. He directly tied him up on some charge and threw him to Wu Mei's house, and then there was nothing to do with them. By the way, if the halberd is sold, it will be redeemed for ten times the money. In addition, you can't reveal your identity as a hundred riders.

Pang Fei was confused and didn't know why, but since it was what Qin Mubai ordered, he went out with a tough hundred cavalry without saying a word.

Qin Mubai still sat in the broken carriage and staggered to Wu Mei's mother's house. He thought with hatred in his heart: Xue Rengui, your martial arts skills are great, but do you dare to openly fight with the officers and soldiers in Chang'an? The more polite you are, the more naughty you will be. If the tiger doesn't do it, you think I'm HelloKeity!

Half an hour later, a team of fierce soldiers broke into the Wufu, which scared the Wu family's room like earth. The Wu brothers hurried out to greet him and said in a panic, "What's the matter, general? What's the matter, general?"

Pang Fei stepped in. Hu Hu looked at the Wu brothers a few times and waved his hand. Several sergeants behind him pushed a big tied man in, and then turned around and left.

"Huh, General... What do you mean?" Wu Yuan was surprised and looked up and down at Xue Rengui, but he didn't know him.

"You ask General Ben, who will he ask?" Pang Fei shouted and scolded, "I was ordered to do things, but I have finished the rest. Anyway, you should take good care of this person. If he is lost, he will take his own responsibility!"

"Ah..." The Wu brothers and those servants were dumbfounded - this is too inexplicable!

At this time, Wu Mei Niang came out and said from afar, "Pang Fei, you are majestic!"

"Ah? Teacher..." Pang Fei was slightly shocked and secretly, and his tense face instantly turned to a smile and bowed: "I've seen Wu Dong's family!"

Wu Mei Niang glanced at Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui hurriedly lowered his head and turned around, blushing with embarrassment.

It was already clear. Wu Mei Niang suppressed her smile and said, "When it's done, you can go back!"

"Yes." Pang Fei smiled, looked around, and whispered, "Madam, can I ask you something?"

"Don't shout, who is your master!" Wu Mei Niang scolded softly, "What's the matter? Tell me?"

"I heard that the teacher is going to be transferred from the capital to serve in Yuanren Prefecture and County. Many of our old brothers who followed him all the way can't bear to part with him and want to go with him!" Pang Fei said pitifully, "especially me, I will follow him. If he doesn't ride a hundred times, why am I still here? Please ask the master to say a few good words for me and let the teacher take me away?"

Wu Mei Niang couldn't help laughing: "You are not a child who has not been weaned, and you still have to follow your feet?"

Pang Fei's embarrassed face turned red, and he giggled: "What the master's wife wants to say, that's what. Anyway, I just want to follow my teacher all the way. Wherever he goes, I will go."

"Ok, I'll try." Wu Mei Niang nodded and smiled, "But I don't think he can make the decision on this kind of thing. Don't expect too much. You go back first, this person, just leave it to me."

"Thank you, teacher. Then I'll go!"

Pang Fei took a team of powerful iron armored warriors and left majestically.

The Wu brothers secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat and breathed a long breath, and said in confusion: Where is this song?

Seeing Wu Mei Niang at this time, Xue Rengui also generally understood what was going on, so he had to turn his head shyly and was embarrassed to look at Wu Mei Niang.

Wu Mei Niang dispersed the crowd and walked to him and said, "Brother Xue, don't blame us. It's true that you are too inhumane. Do you know that?"

Xue Rengui didn't say anything, but just sighed.

Wu Mei Niang looked at the rope tied to his body, looked at the Fang Tianhua halberd thrown into the snow, and said, "I once heard Mu Bai say that a man cultivates himself and governs the country safely. With literary and martial arts talent, he must first be able to be able to do it. He also said, 'Don't sweep the whole house, but sweep the world?' Although you have martial arts talent, you can't even take good care of your wife and children, and you still refuse the kindness of your friends. No wonder Mu Bai is really annoyed and rude to you! In this comparison, Mu Bai is really a good-looking man with a bloody liver and gallbladder. You... you are just pretentious! Sister-in-law Liu has been unlucky for eight lifetimes to follow you!"
