When Wu Mu was about to fly to Shu Qi's territory, a leaf floated towards him.
He subconsciously turned his head to dodge, and turned around to see Ye Chuyan standing on the treetop, wearing black night clothes, smiling at him.
"Fifth leader, I'm here."
Wu Mu flew up almost without thinking and hugged Ye Chuyan tightly in his arms.
"I told you to wait for me safely in the house, how could you let them take you away? Do you know how worried I was just now?"
His voice was urgent and fast, and his tone was full of fear and worry. His heartbeat, which had almost stopped along the way, finally came back at this moment.
Ye Chuyan felt Wu Mu's breath lingering on the tip of her nose, her heartbeat was crazy and strong, and the temperature in her chest was scorching. She almost wanted to indulge in this hug forever.
However, she still tried her best to restrain herself from hugging him, gently pushed him away, and said calmly: "Young Master Wu, I'm fine, please calm down."
This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on the head, making Wu Mu feel cold from head to toe.
After a while, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."
He didn't know what to say except sorry.
Ye Chuyan is the princess of Qing Dynasty, and she wants to marry Zhang Xiuyu. However, from yesterday to now, he has lost control again and again when facing Ye Chuyan, and he is like a beast.
Ye Chuyan didn't seem to care about Wu Mu's mood, but said calmly: "I just killed Shu Qi. The people on Shu Qi's side won't find out for the time being, but this matter won't last long. How is the situation over there?"
Wu Mu calmed down for a moment and told Ye Chuyan everything that happened after he went out today.
After Ye Chuyan heard this, he told Wu Mu about flying carrier pigeons.
She analyzed it and found that the homing pigeon was probably caught by Sirius, otherwise Shilu would have replied long ago. Tianlang should now try his best to find the hall master who cooperates with Wu Mu.
Wu Mu immediately understood why Sirius insisted on the three hall masters coming up with ideas. This was to get him to take the bait.
After analyzing the matter here, it suddenly became clear.
Ye Chuyan said: "You have to take advantage of the fact that Shu Qi's death is not discovered and drag the other hall master into trouble. In this case, only one of the three halls will be left, and Tianlang will lose his left and right arms."
Wu Mu thought for a moment and said: "I will go find the Smiling Tiger now. He has the largest number of people in the hall. If Sirius suspects him, he will definitely find a way to kill him. This will save you a lot of trouble when suppressing bandits."
Ye Chuyan nodded in agreement.
"Sirius has already suspected you. Once Shu Qi's death is discovered, my identity will no longer be concealed. Without further ado, you can lead Sirius and Smiling Tiger into a dispute as soon as possible. How about we take the opportunity to sneak into Sirius's backyard cave? ?”
Wu Mu agreed very much with Ye Chuyan's words and discussed this for a while.
In the end, it was decided to let Ye Chuyan go back to Wu Mu's yard first. Wu Mu found the Smiling Tiger and went back to join her.
After the two said goodbye, Wu Mu came to Smiling Tiger's residence.
The Smiling Tiger was writing something in the study when he heard the Fifth Master coming to see him. He straightened his clothes a little and went out to greet him.
He is fair, fat and kind, and his smile is approachable. If you don't know him, you will think that he is a loyal and kind scholar.
Seeing Wu Mu coming over, he smiled and said, "Fifth leader, what do you want from me?"
Wu Mugong cupped his hands and said in a sincere tone: "Master Xiaoxiao, I haven't been in the village for a long time, and I've been ostracized everywhere. If you hadn't spoken for me in the middle hall today, Shu Qi would have bitten me. I'm here to express my gratitude. grateful."
The Smiling Tiger was a little relieved for a moment.
"The fifth leader is too polite. We are all brothers in the village. How can I watch everyone blaming each other and considering peace as the most precious thing!"
This fifth-in-command has been here for so many days and has been neither cold nor warm to anyone. He didn't expect that he would come to thank him personally. His actions today can be regarded as winning over this fifth-in-charge.
He welcomed Wu Mu into the house. After the two of them sat down, the maid brought two cups of tea.
Wu Mu knew that Smiling Tiger was the deepest among the three hall masters and did not dare to take it lightly.
He pretended to take a sip of tea, and when the smiling tiger was unprepared, he poured the tea into his sleeve.
Then he sighed and said: "Actually, I came here today to ask for something. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have thought of a way to retreat. I am worried that if I say something wrong and offend the leader of the village, I come here to ask for your advice."
The smiling tiger narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled kindly.
He said modestly: "The fifth leader is very polite. We are all one family. If you have any questions, just ask. I will definitely help if I can."
"That's it. I plan to have Tianlang Village pretend to surrender, lead the officers and soldiers up the mountain, and then lead all the officers and soldiers to the backyard of the master's house, and use the secret weapons in the master's yard to kill them all."
"We definitely can't do it head-on. It's okay to stand guard. Only in this way can we annihilate all the officers and soldiers under the mountain in one fell swoop."
"I don't know what the secret weapons are that the master has hidden, and I don't know if they can wipe out ten thousand officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, so I'm here to ask for advice."
"Master Xiaoxiao, do you think my method is feasible? If it is feasible, I will tell the master this method."
Wu Mu spoke extremely sincerely, as if he was really asking for advice humbly.
The smiling tiger's heart suddenly trembled.
The weapons hidden in the cave in the backyard of the eldest family were only known to him and the eldest family in the whole village, and not even the other masters knew about them.
This matter is a secret in the village.
What does "five masters" mean? Do you happen to really want to ask yourself for advice, or do you want to find out what the secret weapon is from your own mouth?
His mind went back and forth a thousand times, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
"Fifth master, I really can't help you with what you're talking about. The first master has something hidden, and I don't know what it is. You might as well go to the first master to discuss the matter. If it's really a good way to save the cottage, the first master will definitely Will agree."
The smiling tiger did a Tai Chi and pushed the question back.
"Okay, since Hall Master Xiao said so, I will listen to you." Wu Mu was so proud.
The Smiling Tiger laughed twice and said a few non-irritating words. Wu Mu exchanged greetings with him and left after seeing that his goal was accomplished.
Before leaving, Wu Mu said that the tea he drank just now was good, and Smiling Tiger immediately asked his subordinates to pack a box for him.
Wu Mu carried the wooden box containing tea leaves and left the Smiling Tiger's yard with satisfaction.
As soon as he went out, someone over there told Tianlang the news: Master Wu went to see Smiling Tiger. The two had a very happy conversation. Before leaving, Mu Lang also took a wooden box from Smiling Tiger.
After hearing this, Sirius crushed the tea cup he was drinking from with one palm and sneered ferociously.
Over the years, the one he trusted the most in the entire village was Smiling Tiger, who even told him what the weapons in the cave were.
If the smiling tiger really eats the inside out, he will peel off the smiling tiger's skin with his own hands.
Wu Mu came out of Smiling Tiger's yard and passed by Shu Qi's yard. He argued with the bandits at his door and pretended to go in to get back the woman rewarded by the head of the family.
The bandit guarding the gate followed Shu Qi's instructions and could not ruin his good deeds, so he was naturally unwilling to let Wu Mu in. Wu Mu left after throwing a few harsh words.
He bypassed everyone on the way and found a bandit who was doing odd jobs. He gave the bandit a piece of gold and told the bandit to keep an eye on the Smiling Tiger's territory.
If the smiling tiger goes out to see the boss, he will whistle three times outside his house.
In Tianlang Village, it was common for people to fight openly and covertly, and to monitor each other. The gangsters who worked there did not doubt that he was there, so they accepted the gold and happily agreed.
Wu Mu returned to his yard and pretended to lose his temper, and drove out the Tsing Yi man and the maid who were watching him.
After finishing this scene, he closed the door, sat on the bench in the room and let out a long sigh of relief.
Ye Chuyan jumped down from the beam, and the two of them sat quietly at the table. Everything that can be done has been done, and all that's left is to wait for news.
Success or failure depends on this.
After an hour, someone whistled three times outside. Wu Mu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Here we come, the Smiling Tiger is looking for Sirius!"
