[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Sword and Beauty Record

Murong Fu knew that Li Mochou got up very early, in order to escape easily, he rode away on a fast horse before dawn.

Gusu Murong, people in the world only know his name, but they don't know where the Murong family is located in Gusu.If you go to Gusu and ask someone, maybe no one will know where Murong's family is.

Yanziwu is [-] miles west of Gusu City, and there is a village deep in the reed pond in Dongting, called Canhe Village, where Murong in Gusu is located.It is so hidden, so few people know about it.

Murong Fu came all the way on his horse, he got off his horse and stopped on the shore, not half a moment later, a small boat floated leisurely from the depths of the reeds.

The rower was a little girl in a blue dress. Although she was still young, she had an elegant appearance. She spoke Wu Nong's soft language, and her words were as melodious as singing.

"My lord, you are finally back." The little girl in Biqun looked very happy, but when she was happy, she smiled like a gentle Jiangnan woman, shy and restrained.

Murong Fu tied the horse to a tree on the bank, and lightly landed on the boat with a touch of toe, "Abi, why are you coming out to meet me?"

"Sister Ah Zhu learned a new dish. I came out to see if I could find some lotus pods, and I happened to meet you." Abi replied while going back to the boat.

At this time, autumn is about to enter, where are the lotus pods, the little girl can't even tell a lie.

Murong Fu knew it well and didn't tell the truth, seeing that it was really hard for a little girl to push the boat, so he took the bamboo pole from her hand and pushed the boat by himself.

Although Abi is his maidservant, in Murong Fu's eyes, she is like his younger sister, so Abi is not like a maidservant in Shenhe Village, but like a young lady.

Seeing Murong Fu punting for her, Abi chatted with him, saying that she recently learned a new qin piece from her master, if Murong Fu is free someday, remember to listen to it for her.

Abi's master is Kang Guangling, the first disciple of Su Xinghe, the former Mr. Congbian.

"When I'm free these two days, I want to listen to Abi's newly learned piano music." Murong Fu agreed while rowing, "Lao Deng and the others are back? Did you say anything?"

"Brother Deng and the others came back a few days ago, but they were a little worried because they didn't see the young master. Now, they are all waiting for the young master to go back at Zhuangzi!"

Abi's words were tactful, but it's a pity that Murong Fu could still guess what was going on.

Murong's family has four great ministers, Deng Baichuan, Gongyegan, Baodong, and Fengshui.

These four families have been loyal to the Murong family for generations, and the four of them are the confidantes of Murong Fu's father Murong Bo, the previous head of the Murong family, and they are much older than Murong Fu in terms of age.

They are all loyal and true, but it is this loyalty that makes them worry too much and even question Murong Fu's decision, interfere with him too much, and even because of their age, they feel a little bit of peddling the old.

This time Murong Fu left alone after leaving the letter, presumably they must have a lot of complaints, this is the so-called worry in Abi's mouth.They were waiting for him to come back, and I am afraid that part of them wanted to persuade and preach, so that he would not insist on going his own way.

Murong Fu also thought about this, this time he might have to clean up the house first before dealing with outside affairs.

Murong Fu is at the age of weak crown, he must be much stronger than a little girl like Abi, soon the boat arrived at Shenhe Village.

Abi followed Murong Fu to the shore, and heard Murong Fu say: "Abi, didn't you say that Ah Zhu has learned a new dish? Go over and have a look, and by the way, let someone inform Lao Deng and the others to come look for me in the study."

Abi is not an idiot either, she naturally knew that Murong Fu intended to dismiss her and wanted to discuss important matters with Deng Baichuan and the others, so she quickly agreed and left.

In the study room, Murong Fu was standing in front of the window with his hands covered, the breeze was blowing, making his sleeves flutter, making him look like an ordinary person.

It has been a while since Deng Baichuan and others have returned to Canhe Village. They have their own villa property waiting to be managed, but Murong Fu has not returned, so they are not allowed to leave.I heard someone send a letter saying that Murong Fu has returned to the village, and they are invited to meet in the study.

Deng Baichuan finally felt relieved, and the remaining three people always had their own thoughts.

Among the four, Deng Baichuan is the eldest, with a calm temperament, he is the most loyal and obedient, but he has many concerns about brotherhood, and often smooths things over between the other three and Murong Fu.

Gongyegan's palm strength is extraordinary, and it is difficult for ordinary martial arts people to catch him. In addition to his family inheritance, the reason for his skill in this hand is also the sword casting and smelting skills of his ancestors.He is loyal, but he always wants to spend some money from Murong Fu to forge more powerful weapons.

Bao DiTong's catchphrase is right and wrong, he is the best among the four, and he thinks he is loyal to the Murong family.Bao BuTong always likes to help Murong make a comeback, with a forthright temperament and informality, but it is this mouth that causes trouble the most, and it is often outspoken.

As for Lao □ Bo E, he has the simplest mind and loves fighting the most. Wherever he wants to compete with others, he must be indispensable.

The four of Deng Baichuan entered the study room, seeing Murong Fu standing in front of the window, they all stepped forward to salute.Murong Fu only waited for them to finish their ceremony before warmly asking them to sit down, it seemed that there was no difference from usual, but there was always something wrong.

In the past, Murong Fu's father, Murong Bo, left early, even if he wanted to restore the country, he also relied on the four retainers a lot, and always invited them to sit down without waiting for the four to salute.

If Murong Fu is not like this, the ruler is weak and his ministers are strong, in the long run, no matter how loyal he is, there will inevitably be changes.It was because of Murong Fu's too much tolerance and courtesy to the four of them that they more or less thought that they were indispensable, and it was inevitable that they would show some of them in their behavior.

Murong Fu saw the four of them sat down, and just now he said: "The last purchase of armaments was unsuccessful, and my whereabouts were almost exposed, so I found a place by myself and thought about it for two days. After my father left, Murong Fu owed a few loyal friends Today is only possible with hard work and support, this tea is to thank you for your help, please!"

Murong Fu's words explained his whereabouts that day, and the good words made the four of them feel refreshed, and at that time they stopped asking about Murong Fu.

Murong Fu saw the mood of the four of them, he picked up the teacup and invited the four of them to have a drink with tea as wine.

Putting down the teacup, Murong Fu asked intentionally: "I don't know what happened last time, how did it go in the end? The 50 taels should be recovered, right?"

Deng Baichuan showed embarrassment, just now the young master said so much and valued them so much, but this matter was messed up.

On that day, the soldier who came with the same official surname died naturally under Murong Fu's sword. After Murong Fu left, they were responsible for destroying the corpse.However, traces were still left, although no one knew it was Murong Fu's hand, but it caused quite a disturbance.After all, it is not a trivial matter that the imperial court ordered the official to be killed.

Because of the strict investigation by the government, although the four of them were masters, after sneaking into the house of the official surnamed Yu and finding nothing, in order not to attract too much attention from others, they had to return empty-handed.

Deng Baichuan explained the reason to Murong Fu, and Murong Fu suppressed his smile, "Old Deng, you are the confidantes of my Murong family, and I dare not bother you with trivial matters. It's just that I do such simple things now. In this way, 50 taels of silver just went to waste.”

"Through the matter now, even if I know how the four of you are, I have to wonder whether you are too old to do things well, or is it that I, Murong Fu, am not as good as the previous members of the Murong family, so you have other thoughts?"

Although the four of them are Murong's retainers, they have been in the Jianghu for a long time, so they are naturally not as quick-witted as those who have been in the officialdom.Murong Fu's words were just to hit them briefly, but he guessed that someone must be unable to sit still.

Sure enough, Bao BuTong immediately disagreed and said: "No, no, you can't say that. If our brothers really have two hearts, why are we here at this time?"

"Mr. Bao's words are reasonable. If you wait for a second heart, how can I, Murong Fu, sit here peacefully at this time? I'm afraid the grass on the grave is several feet high?" Murong Fu's eyes faded. Deep, there was a hint of a smile on his face, but with these words, it always makes people feel shuddering.

Bao BuTong was just speaking quickly, although what Murong Fu said was not much different from what he thought in his heart, but when Murong Fu said these words, it was much more serious.Bao BuTong immediately wanted to defend himself, but Deng BaiChuan saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he came out to smooth things over.

"Don't blame the young master, the third child has always been outspoken, the third child should apologize to the young master."

"It's a small matter to speak out, but it's true that the misfortune comes from the mouth." Murong Fu acted as if he had sold Deng Baichuan's face, but he turned around and said, "Mr. Bao was sure that Yu could help us achieve success. Why did you keep your mouth shut?"

Speaking of this matter, Bao BuTong was really at a loss, and he was the one who brought about this matter.Who would have thought that instead of buying the armaments, 50 taels of silver would be taken instead.No matter how irritable Bao Tong was, he couldn't speak at the moment, and Deng Baichuan was still watching.

"My lord, this matter is Lao Bao's fault, Lao Bao accepts the punishment." Bao Buhong said unwillingly.

"Punishment should be punished, it can be punished, and you will not make mistakes next time? The four of you are in charge of each village, and you have a lot of people under your command. Of course, there is no shortage of me as the speaker. Today, I would like to ask Let me ask you all, what do you think about me, Murong Fu? Maybe it's time to leave or stay, and it's time to say something."

The four of them knew that there were things they couldn't do, and they thought it was just Murong Fu making an excuse, but they never thought that Murong Fu was so serious.No matter how cautious the four of them are, their loyalty to the Murong family is unquestionable.

So, the four quickly bowed down in front of Murong Fu, this was probably the first time they sincerely bowed in front of Murong Fu in so many years after Murong Bo's death.
