Hu Lin suddenly looked up at the sky and murmured, "Maybe if I send her home, she'll be happy."
"Yes! Send mother home, send her home, go home..." Mu Feng, who had been crying all day, finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
But Hu Lin sat next to him and thought about it all night.
From that night on.
Both of them seemed to have a goal, and Hu Lin no longer held back. Although he was young, he was incredibly strong.
Sometimes even two grown men couldn't possibly beat him.
Soon, he was targeted by the leader of the Black Wind Village and underwent several life-and-death tests.
Hu Lin was adopted as the eldest son by the boss.
Because Mu Feng was physically weak, he forced himself to read books and learn strategies.
He soon stood out among the other children and became a well-known figure in Black Wind Village.
This went on day after day, year after year, until one day, they found an opportunity. When the then-boss was injured and on the verge of death, they decisively killed him and took over.
Hu Lin could have been the boss, but he still recommended Mu Feng to be the boss.
He ranked second and became the second in command.
The brothers who had been through thick and thin with him in the past naturally refused to accept it, but Hu Lin still forcefully suppressed all the voices of opposition.
At that time, Hu Lin was really happy.
Although Mu Feng's mother passed away before this day came, they were able to send everyone else home.
He thought that Mu Feng's mother would also be happy.
But I didn't expect it.
Mu Feng disagreed and said that sending them back would be equivalent to exposing their location.
When the time comes, the government will take the opportunity to encircle and suppress them, and all of them will die.
Therefore, these people cannot be sent in, but he will ask everyone not to traffic women and children in again.
Although he disagreed, he had no choice but to compromise.
Of course, the condition for compromise is to only rob the rich who are unkind.
Civilians cannot rob.
If the rich person you robbed is not unkind, 30% of the money will be returned.
He thought that these might not be obvious at first.
But as long as they persist, the people in Black Wind Village will gradually change in their bones.
And the court could also see their changes.
As expected.
They received the imperial court's invitation.
He had originally sought the imperial court's offer of amnesty for everyone, so after confirming that the offer of amnesty was indeed true, he planned to fake his death to escape.
Thinking back to this, Hu Lin's eyes were covered with a shadow, "Did you also lie to me about recruiting me?"
Later, the attempt to recruit him failed, and Mu Feng told him that his brothers were unwilling to do so again.
He had just found Mianhong at that time, so he had no plans to go back.
He only warned Mu Feng not to follow the old path of Black Wind Village.
Seeing that Mu Feng agreed readily, he didn't ask about the Black Wind Village anymore.
It was not until that day when his brothers who had followed him from Black Wind Village found him that he realized that Mu Feng had not only followed his old path over the years, but had gone even worse than before.
Especially those who followed him before were targeted by Mu Feng and died silently.
If he doesn't go back now, he might die unknown reasons tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
He naturally didn't want to believe that Mu Feng would become like this, but when he returned to the familiar village.
After meeting wave after wave of unfamiliar women, he thought that Mu Feng had really changed.
This place, which had trapped his mother for her entire life, was now used by him to trap others.
I wonder if, years from now, there will be a child crying and asking to send my mother home...
Mu Feng snorted coldly, "I didn't lie to you. There is indeed an amnesty, but that bastard official only gave me 200 places. There are more than 500 of us, and he actually asked me to handle it myself. Tell me, how should I handle it myself?"
So, he tore up the letter of surrender.
He sneaked into the city at night and made a deal with that corrupt official.
He protected them and they paid him tribute in proportion.
In this way, they could be said to have the entire city in their hands, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the court suddenly replaced a prefect.
And Hu Lin is back again.
As soon as he came back, everyone naturally turned their attention to him.
The more people support him, the more he hates them.
He ordered people to investigate Xie Jin, and found that the situation was pretty much as he expected.
Which of these corrupt officials is not corrupt?
So, he gave beautiful women and money.
Sure enough, Xie Jin took the bait and took the opportunity to make a request.
Ask for the imperial court's letter of amnesty.
Xie Jin agreed without hesitation and said that the court had had this intention for a long time.
Of course, he didn't really want to be recruited. Compared to being a vague dog in the court, he naturally enjoyed the feeling of being a local emperor. He did all this just to paralyze Hu Lin.
After getting the document of amnesty, he took the opportunity to gather everyone together and hold a celebration party.
This time, he won't let Hu Lin fake his death again, he wants him to die for real.
Unfortunately, it seems that there is no such opportunity now.
Mu Feng knew that he had no chance of turning the tables, so he calmed down. He sat down and ran errands, "Winners are kings and losers are bandits, I accept it!
But do you think you really won?
Since you left back then, you shouldn't have come back. You thought the court really wanted to recruit us, but that idiot official told me that the court recruited us just to put us in a dog cage and execute us when the time was right."
Hu Lin also sat down cross-legged. "This time is different. Lord Xie is a good official. He will naturally do what he promised."
Mu Feng sneered, "Good official?" He suddenly burst into laughter, not knowing what he was thinking about. "Hahaha... Good official? Ah Lin, you are still as naive as you were back then."
How could he, the son of a bandit, be a good person?
He was just crying and playing the victim, but he actually believed it.
What's more, for him, he was willing to risk his life to get to the boss at that time, and gave him the position of boss that was within his reach.
Hu Lin seemed unaware of his thoughts. He actually didn't like to guess people's minds. He knew from a young age that the human heart was something that could not be guessed.
He said calmly, "You may not know this, but the newly appointed Mr. Xie is my brother-in-law."
At this moment, Hu Lin fell in love with guessing people's minds.
After seeing Mu Feng's shock, disbelief, belief, and collapse...
Actually, it's quite interesting.
"Brother-in-law, you're still thinking about admiring the moon here. Sister Mianhong told me today that if you don't go back, she'll take Xiaobao and run away from home."
The sound arrives before the person arrives.
When the last word fell, Mu Feng also saw the person coming.
He was still wearing the same scarlet robe as that day, but his gestures lacked the casualness he had deliberately created that day, and his cold brows and eyes had a hint of arrogance.
He suddenly remembered that this man had won the imperial examination three times in a row, so he should be so high-spirited.
"Hehehe, I haven't suffered any loss over the years. A'lin, if there is a next life, I..." Before he could finish his words, Mu Feng jumped towards the bottomless cliff behind him.
