Mu Nanjin asked: "Is everything going well?"

Li Zhenfushi nodded: "It's going well, how about you?"

If Mu Nanjin hadn't provided them with the identity of the Lord of the Red Blood Palace as a cover for Alliance Leader Liang, it would have been difficult to give everyone an explanation.

Mu Nanjin hummed lightly.

[When I, Mu Nanjin, take action, there is nothing I cannot accomplish. ]

“…”

Li Zhenfushi and Mu Nanjin walked to the backyard. Liang Mengzhu, who was following behind them, tore off the fake skin on his face when no one was around, revealing Wu Yuan's face.

Li Zhenfu looked back and said: "Now we can let Senior Wu pretend to be the leader of Liang to deceive everyone, but what about the future? What should we do in the future?"

It is impossible for the emperor to take care of the affairs of the court and the affairs of the martial arts world at the same time. He would be too busy to handle it all.

"The Emperor will make arrangements, why bother with that?"

Li Zhenfushi: "..."

He just said this because he wanted Mu Nanjin to let Wu Yuan pretend to be the leader of Liang. But the other party did not have this intention.

At this time, Captain Liu came out from the backyard with a middle-aged man.

"Mu Nanjin, we have almost finished our work here. In five days, we will return to the capital with the emperor and others. If you have anything to do, do it quickly."

"Um."

Li Zhenfushi asked quickly, "What about me? Didn't you say that someone will take my place and I can go back to the capital with you? Where is the person who will take my place?"

Liu Qianhu patted the middle-aged man beside him and said with a smile: "He, Wen Jiushi, is the one who will replace you."

Wen Jiushi saluted Li Zhenfushi and said, "Greetings, Li Zhenfushi."

Then, he looked at Mu Nanjin, and curled his lips: "Tsk tsk, isn't this my concubine? I haven't seen her for a few years, and she is still so young and beautiful."

Mu Nanjin replied: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you look much older. You look like my grandfather now."

Wen Jiushi touched his face: "No way? Do I look that old?"

"Concubine? Mu Yatou is your concubine?"

Envoy Li was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground.

Wen Jiushi smiled and said, "We almost got married."

Captain Liu slapped him on the back in anger and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, be careful that the governor will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs."

Wen Jiushi had heard from Kan Chaoyan that the governor liked Mu Nanjin, and hurriedly said, "I was just joking, you can't take it seriously."

Mu Nanjin said: "I took it seriously."

Li Zhenfushi, Liu Qianhu, Wen Jiushi: "..."

"Since you almost became my husband, I'll reward you with a bottle of medicine that can improve your cultivation." Mu Nanjin took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to him.

Wen Jiushi didn't dare to accept her words.

Captain Liu took the medicine bottle for him and said, "This medicine is a good thing. You should make good use of it. Especially now that you need to guard the five cities, without any strength, it will be difficult for you to suppress the warriors of the five cities."

If Wucheng didn't need a strong person to guard Wucheng, he would really be reluctant to let Mu Nanjin give the elixir to Wen Jiushi.

Wen Jiushi took the medicine bottle and thanked Mu Nanjin solemnly: "Thank you."

Mu Nanjin didn't say anything more to them and returned to his own yard.

In the next few days, she was busy buying materials.

Just the day before leaving, the master of the Red Blood Hall found Mu Nanjin to discuss cooperation.

"Tell me about our cooperation first."

The Palace Master was surprised: "One hundred thousand taels for one round trip? Two hundred thousand taels for two round trips?"

It is indeed more profitable than being an assassin.

Although they used to earn 100,000 or 20,000 silver per mission, the higher the silver, the higher the status or martial arts of the target, which meant it was particularly difficult to kill. Sometimes, even sacrificing hundreds of assassins might not complete the mission, so the loss was greater than the profit.

"right."

"If we need to deliver goods to towns in different directions at the same time, we need to split into two groups. How will we calculate the cost then?"

"Of course it's two round trips, which is two hundred thousand taels of silver, and I'll be responsible for your food, drink, and toilet during the trip."

The Palace Master wondered: "What kind of business do you do to make so much money?"

"You'll know when you transport my materials to the capital. Of course, money is not so easy to earn. If there is a problem with my goods, I will deduct your money. Also, transporting goods is dangerous, and there may be casualties on the way."

The Palace Master said: "That's much safer than being an assassin."

He had thought about it these past few days. Their strength was not as great as that of the government, and going against the government would undoubtedly cut off their own retreat. Moreover, he had long wanted his brothers to change their careers and do business, but it was difficult for them to change their identities with blood on their hands. Now that there was a great opportunity in front of him, of course he wanted to give it a try.

"So you agree to cooperate with me?"

Mu Nanjin took out the written contract and said, "Sign it, and we will be companions from now on."

The Palace Master raised his eyebrows and said, "You prepared the contract so quickly. Are you sure I will agree to it?"

Mu Nanjin asked: "Do you have any other options?"

“…”

The master of the palace wrote his name on the contract: Su Bi and then stamped it with his handprint.

"To show my sincerity, I will pay the shipping fee this time."

Mu Nanjin took out a silver note of 100,000 taels and gave it to him.

In fact, she saw in the gossip news that the Palace Master was cooperating with her sincerely, so she also wanted to express her gratitude.

Palace Master: “…”

"We will set off for Beijing tomorrow. Bring your people to help me transport the goods. Also, when you return, send a message to each branch office and ask them not to accept any more assassination missions."

The hall master nodded, took the banknote and left.

Early the next morning, he brought the people from the Red Blood Palace to the Duwei Mansion and saw hundreds of horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods parked outside the mansion.

In addition, there were more than twenty luxurious carriages on the road, and not only that, there were also hundreds of guards accompanying them.

The Palace Master asked Mu Nanjin, "You have so many people accompanying you back to the capital, do you still need us to help you deliver the goods?"

Mu Nanjin glanced at the guards: "They are only responsible for protecting the people in the carriages, not my goods. By the way, the people sitting in the last three carriages are my people, you have to protect them too."

Palace Master: “…”

At this time, Kan Chaoyan came out and asked, "Mu girl, are all your people here?"

"Um."

"Then let's go."

The Palace Master frowned and said, "Master Mu, where are your five sons? You don't plan to take them back? Have you forgotten that they are still in the Red Blood Palace branch?"

He originally wanted to bring his five children with him, but the five children refused to leave no matter what, and said they would wait for Mu Nanjin to come and pick them up in person before leaving.

Mu Nanjin was silent for a moment: "I really forgot about them."

Palace Master: "..." (End of this chapter)
