Chapter 027 Traitor 27
Mu Feng: “…”
Mu Feng's face is not as thick as a city wall, nor can he be as shameless as Xiao Chen, so naturally he will not be ungrateful.
But he had no money and didn't want the promises they made. What should he do?
Mu Feng was in a dilemma, with no other choice but to ask, "What do you want?"
First, he has no money, and second, they are all men...
etc! ! !
Mu Feng recalled that Brother Dai seemed to have a hidden hobby. Could it be...
He looked at Xiao Chen as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and even took a few steps back to distance himself from him. He looked like he was being bullied by a bully, which made Xiao Chen's eyes twitch.
Xiao Chen: “???”
"No, what's with that look in your eyes? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?" Xiao Chen's expression turned grim.
In the previous life, was Mu Feng, the neutral right prime minister who was known for being impartial, never had any selfish motives, always kept his word, and was unwilling to be involved with others, was he just pretending?
I never expected that Mu Feng would be this kind of person!
Xiao Chen looked at him warily, his expression tinged with disdain. "If you really mean that, I'll tell everyone that Mu Feng, a learned and talented scholar, is someone who doesn't repay his gratitude!"
Don’t even think about gaining a good reputation like you did in your previous life!
He, Xiao Chen, was fine in the previous life, but no one can owe him anything in this life!
Mu Feng: “???”
Mu Feng looked at Xiao Chen with an indescribable expression, as if he was looking at a child who only knew how to complain. However, he hit the snake in its most vulnerable part. He was indeed a person who cared about his reputation. Otherwise, he would not have been implicated by the Mu family because of this.
He was not a foolishly filial person. Since the Mu family treated him like this, it was naturally impossible for him to repay evil with kindness. If reputation was not very important to scholars, he would not be willing to endure it.
Mu Feng looked at Xiao Yan, who was weak but obviously able to control Xiao Chen, and said, "Your brother doesn't even care about this?"
People are always reserved. Who would help others just to ask for a reward? And why is it so unreasonable to say it so openly?
Xiao Yan looked hesitant and helpless. He bowed to Mu Feng and said, "My surname is Xiao, the Yan of Yansheng. This is my younger brother Xiao Chen."
"I am young and naughty, please don't mind me, brother."
Although he said that his younger brother was naughty, he actually had the intention to protect him. This kind of brotherly friendship made Mu Feng, who had a really naughty younger brother, feel a little envious.
We are brothers, so why is his younger brother so annoying?
Mu Feng thought of his younger brother who had been a troublemaker since childhood. He would either deliberately throw mud into the food to slander him, steal things and then blame him and report them, or deliberately tear up his books. A look of disgust flashed across his face.
He has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. Although he has an inexplicable dislike for Xiao Chen for some reason, he has some good feelings towards Xiao Yan who kindly helped him out.
Dao is a gentle and elegant young man, and his appearance and temperament can indeed bring benefits to others.
He responded, "I am Mu Feng, the peak of mountains and rivers."
As he was speaking, he heard a faint buzzing sound in his stomach, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Xiao Yan seemed oblivious. "So it's Brother Mu. I've long heard of your great reputation. It's said that a single word from you is worth a thousand gold. I, a mere layman, cannot possibly be in such a distinguished position. I wonder if I could have the honor of meeting you?"
No one present was a fool, and they could understand what he meant with a little thought.
Xiao Chen: Brother is just too kindhearted. Even when helping others, he has to belittle himself, not wanting to embarrass them. Hey, that bastard! What virtue and ability did he have? Damn Mu Feng, how could he let Brother do this!
Mu Feng: This person has a kind nature and wants to make friends. If I politely refuse, it would make me look inferior. Well, he has no money and nothing to gain. I can just repay the favor someday.
And Xiao Yan...
Xiao Yan thought to himself: Little brother, I have already asked the person to go back for you, but you have to fight for it yourself!
Everyone had different thoughts, but no one objected to this, so Mu Feng gladly accepted the invitation.
As the sun sets, three figures appear in the twilight.
Not long after, Princess Yongfu arrived late. Looking at the deserted alley, she was a little confused.
No, what about the male lead? What about such a big male lead? Didn't they say that Mu Feng was blocked in an alley and needed her to "rescue the beauty"?
Where did the male owner go???
"My lord, Master Mu has left with the two young boys." The guard lowered his head and replied in a serious tone.
Princess Yongfu stamped her feet, a little anxious, "Who are those two young men?"
"It is said that their surname is Xiao. The older one is Xiao Yan, and the younger one is Xiao Chen. They are from Shancai Village, on East Street..."
Princess Yongfu: “???”
Princess Yongfu: "!!!"
It’s Xiao Chen!!!
That big villain and treacherous minister——Xiao Chen!?
Princess Yongfu was not only confused at this moment, but also filled with horror.
Xiao Chen is the biggest villain in "The Powerful Prime Minister". He was a classmate of Mu Feng in the early stage. Although they were both from poor families, they had different personalities and were always at odds with each other, but they also had a kind of friendship of mutual admiration. It was completely different from the plot commonly seen in novels and TV dramas - deliberately making friends with the male protagonist in the early stage and stabbing him in the back in the later stage.
What made her afraid of Xiao Chen was that after Xiao Chen passed the imperial examination and became an official, he joined the Black Feather Army and became the emperor's confidant. He slaughtered the court with blood and was a person who could stop children from crying at night. He was a daunting figure.
If he had not chosen the wrong side and been killed by the new emperor, the male protagonist would probably have given up his throne.
The reason she came here was to establish a good relationship with Mu Feng, but what she didn't expect was that Mu Feng had been in contact with Xiao Chen so long ago, which was not mentioned at all in the novels!
And as for Xiao Yan, she was very sure that this person did not exist in the text at all. It only said that it was rumored that Xiao Chen was a jinx who was destined to kill his relatives, which was why he became so bloodthirsty and cruel.
Could it be possible that something unexpected happened to Xiao Yan?
Princess Yongfu was extremely confused.
She currently has two choices. One is to eliminate the root of the problem in the early stages and prevent Xiao Chen from passing the imperial examination and becoming a treacherous official.
The second is to go with the flow.
Living in a modern legal society, Princess Yongfu believes that it is impossible for her to treat human life as worthless, but if Xiao Chen is unable to take the imperial examination, she is a little hesitant.
The guilt of ruining someone else's future is one thing, and the second is the butterfly effect.
As a villain, even if there is no way to take the imperial examination, there are probably other ways to go. She can't guarantee that Xiao Chen will not find other ways to become the emperor's confidant again in the end, and she is worried that if the truth comes out, she can't guarantee that she can withstand the revenge from the villain!
You have to know that she is just a passerby in this novel who is only mentioned in passing in the later part of the novel when the male protagonist punishes her, and who doesn't even deserve to have a name!
Don't look at how much those time-travelers in novels criticize them; the political views alone are likely to stump a lot of people! After all, who in modern society still plays palace intrigues and family feuds? This isn't a TV show!
It was different in ancient times, especially for the children of officials, each of whom came from a prominent family. Who could outsmart the ancients who had been cunning since childhood?
Not to mention the villain who is born to light up the palace intrigues!
Princess Yongfu began to feel like retreating.
How about waiting and seeing before making any plans? Wait until you're on good terms with Mu Feng before you try to put him in a bad light?
Princess Yongfu came and left in a hurry. She returned to her home under the cover of night with a heavy heart.
The next day, the sky was bright.
At this time, Mu Feng and Xiao Yan's relationship had improved a little, except for Xiao Chen. The two of them were born with incompatible magnetic fields. Whenever they met, they would always fight back and forth before giving up.
Xiao Yan was sandwiched between the two of them, sometimes saying something sarcastic to one side, sometimes saying something to the other side, the chatter was very lively.
"A gentleman with virtue will leave a lasting fragrance for thousands of years. We should help others achieve their goals. What do you think, Brother Mu?" Xiao Chen glanced at Mu Feng across Xiao Yan.
Mu Feng remained unmoved. "A gentleman should have his own opinions, observing everything and grasping its rationale. Heeding only one side of the story is what mediocre people do. To achieve the good of others, one must also be pragmatic. I beg to differ."
Xiao Yan, who was sandwiched between the two, said: "..."
The two have been arguing since last night over the whereabouts of a painting, just like children fighting over candy.
Xiao Yan held his forehead helplessly, "When I have free time, I will make another one..."
"No!" Xiao Chen and Mu Feng said in unison.
Xiao Chen groaned: "Brother, you haven't recovered yet, you can't overwork yourself!"
Mu Feng alone cannot make his brother tired! Besides, this is not about painting, this is about fighting for one's dignity!
If he had been trying to save face with Xiao Chen before, Mu Feng felt extremely guilty now. Although he could see that Xiao Yan was not in good health, he had never thought that Xiao Yan would be so tired even when painting!
Brother Yan is such a good person, but he took advantage of me and made things difficult for him!
"Brother Yan, please don't be like this. As the ancients said, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. In the future, if you have some free time, Brother Yan can teach me a few things, I will be very satisfied."
Xiao Chen: “…”
Damn it, he actually got it wrong!
Xiao Yan's eyes moved slightly. He didn't expect Mu Feng to be so smart, but this was also a good thing.
Stupid people aren't scary. What's scary is that this stupid person who's holding you back is actually your teammate. If Mu Feng were a stupid person, he wouldn't have become the prime minister.
It should be so, indeed it is.
Judging from what Mu Feng said, he was very confident and ambitious. He was sure that the three of them could enter Chongshan Academy, otherwise he would not have said "I will do it when I have free time in the future".
Mu Feng is indeed a smart man and someone who can make deep friends.
"Mu, Brother Mu!"
Hearing the call, Xiao Yan and the other two turned around and saw that it was Princess Yongfu.
Princess Yongfu was delighted to see Mu Feng, but when she saw him and Xiao Chen, she looked a little unnatural, especially towards Xiao Chen, as if she was afraid of something. When she saw Xiao Yan, she was more curious.
Her reaction was very obvious and was seen by Xiao Yan and the other two.
In Mu Feng's opinion, Princess Yongfu was just a retainer who was most likely a certain prince, but why did she have two completely different reactions to the two brothers of the Xiao family?
He looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen calmly. The puzzled expressions on their faces did not seem fake, and they probably did not know this "guest".
Originally, Mu Feng had some doubts about whether the two brothers of the Xiao family were retainers, but now he felt ashamed of his speculation.
Xiao Chen was thinking, this Princess Yongfu shouldn't recognize him at this moment, so why did she have such an expression? As if she was afraid of him... Why was she afraid of him?
Could it be that...she is also a reborn person! ?
Yes, only those who have memories of their previous life will feel afraid when seeing him, because in their previous life, he was a terrifying demon!
Let’s see if Princess Yongfu’s goal is Mu Feng… Thinking about how before her death in her previous life, Mu Feng became the powerful prime minister, and Princess Yongfu was the one who was purged, then is her purpose to get close to Mu Feng and try to rewrite the plot of her previous life?
Over there, Xiao Yan was also speculating. Princess Yongfu looked like this, and it was obvious that she knew something. With a little deduction, he could conclude that she must know the plot!
In addition, Princess Yongfu's weird words and deeds are inconsistent with this era. Rather than being a so-called rebirth, she is more inclined to know the plot, but she is not a pure ancient person!
Looking at her simple behavior, the people around her did not notice anything wrong. Prince Cheng was not a fool. If he were a half-transmitted person, he would definitely be noticed with such words and deeds.
All in all, we can draw the conclusion that Princess Yongfu should be a semi-ancient person who was born with memories of her past life!
The Meng Po soup is becoming more and more watery! Such a huge mistake has actually occurred!
