Chapter 154 Bodyguard
Chapter 154 Bodyguard
In this way, in just ten days, the four generals' mansions were assassinated several times. Of course, these assassinations did not kill many important figures, but they were enough to give the four generals' mansions a headache.
"Mu Zheng, are you busy recently? I need your help with something." Mu Zheng had completed several tasks in a row and put them together to hand over the tasks.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Mu Zheng didn't expect Qingcao to be waiting for him here.
"I have a friend named Temujin. We have a good relationship and are considered relatives." Qingcao said that Temujin recently came to Tuwei City and wanted to hire a few bodyguards for a large sum of money.
"Bodyguard?" Mu Zheng frowned. He had no interest in being a bodyguard.
"Yes." Temujin naturally understood what the name meant. "I know you are a skilled warrior and have great ambitions. You definitely don't want to be someone else's bodyguard. But this time is different. Temujin has an important item in his hand that can command sixteen Xiongnu armies. If this item falls into the hands of some enemies..."
Before Temu Qingcao finished speaking, Mu Zheng immediately clapped his hands and said, "I took it."
The reason is simple. When Temujin passed through the Acropolis, he was holding a token that could command the army. What was he worried about? He was worried that someone would steal his token.
But who would rob him in this Acropolis?
He didn't think of anything else except the four generals' mansions.
What the Four Generals' Mansions are going to do is exactly what Mu Zheng wants to stop, so he must take this job.
When Qingcao heard what he said, she looked happy, but at the same time, she also looked worried.
"Mu Zheng, you should know that the people who came to steal the token this time are not simple. And then again, you should have guessed that most of them are from the four generals' mansions. If you fight them, your identity will be exposed." Qingcao was a good person, and she explained the interests clearly. She didn't want Mu Zheng to think she was using him.
Mu Zheng's expression changed. If his identity was exposed, it would mean that he could no longer keep a low profile in Tuwei City.
but.
Who said it would be exposed?
He would kill as many of the enemy as came.
If no one is left alive, who will expose him?
"Thank you. Let me tell you the specific process." Mu Zheng said.
"Yes!" Qingcao nodded. "Temujin wants to deliver the goods to Liuyueke. The distance between the two places is three days."
Flowing month restraint?
Another city of the Xiongnu?
Mu Zheng said nothing.
Qingcao continued, "I'll send you an address later. When you're ready, meet us there. If nothing goes wrong, we'll set off this afternoon."
"Okay." Mu Zheng nodded.
After handing over the task, Mu Zheng was about to return to explain the situation to Li Cheng and the others, but he ran into Old Sparrow halfway. He was staring intently at a certain spot. Following his gaze, he saw an old man standing there, looking very prestigious, talking to a young man.
"Does he have a grudge against you?" Mu Zheng leaned over and asked.
"The head of the Huo family, Huo Xi." There was a hint of murderous intent in the old sparrow's tone.
The masters of the four generals' mansions?
A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Mu Zheng's eyes!
He recalled hearing Lei Peng say at the villa that they intended to attack the Central Plains. This decision and order must have been related to the top brass of the Four Generals' Mansions. And since Huo Xi was the head of the family, he must have wanted to attack the Central Plains. Perhaps his hands were stained with the blood of too many Central Plains people.
If you have the chance, kill him!
……
On the way, Mu Zheng ran into Li Lian again. When he returned, he saw Gong Wen lying on the table counting money. Mu Zheng went up and kicked him: "Li Lian and I are going out for a few days."
Those who had come together to do business had left one after another after the city was unsealed, so Gong Wen also came to the inner city.
"Huh?" Gong Wen was dumbfounded: "No, I'm scared."
"I'm not afraid of anything." Mu Zheng said with a smile: "You stay here and wait for Han Zi."
Uh.
Gong Wen said he was afraid, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
"Where are you going?" Gong Wen asked.
"I took a small order with a high return." Mu Zheng didn't intend to tell the truth. After all, he didn't trust Old Sparrow. To a certain extent, he didn't even trust Li Cheng.
"We'll come back and buy you some meat." Li Lian already knew the specific content of the task, so he just laughed it off.
"Ah? Meat again. There's only meat on this grassland. I just want to eat some vegetables now." Gong Wen frowned.
Uh.
Even Li Lian felt that he deserved a beating after hearing this.
There were many people starving in the Central Plains, but this guy was so sick of eating meat.
"How long will it take?" Gong Wen asked.
"It might take six or seven days to go back and forth!" Mu Zheng speculated.
"That's not bad!" At this point, Gong Wen glanced outside the door and lowered his voice, "After all, I have to face that tomboy Li Cheng every day. I'm afraid I'll be upset."
This one sentence made Mu Zheng and Li Lian burst into laughter.
Since Li Cheng had not returned yet, Mu Zheng had no time to say goodbye to her, so he took Li Lian and rushed to the address Qingcao gave.
Not far away.
Soon, they arrived at the scene.
After knocking on the door, Qingcao ran over and opened it, and Mu Zheng and Li Lian walked in!
Only then did they see that there were already several people sitting in the room.
The leading man was an imposing figure, and judging by his seat, he must be Temujin. He was flanked by several guards, but a few seats below him sat a man and a woman, presumably the newly hired bodyguards, as their clothing was distinctly different from that of the guards.
After the Temu sisters introduced Mu Zheng and the others, Mu Zheng, Li Lian, and Temujin exchanged greetings. However, the man and woman sitting nearby looked unhappy: "Why are there still people? And so young? Some people without much combat experience shouldn't be here, lest they hold us back."
Temujin frowned slightly.
Mu Zheng and Li Lian looked at each other. Is he talking about them again?
