Ji Tang

Chapter 908 Dugu Mou’s ruthlessness

The newly appointed Grand Steward of Duke Xi is a little nervous now, not because of other reasons, but because a strange person appears at the gate.Yes, in his opinion he is a weirdo, otherwise why would he be standing at the door?

"How long has this man been standing?"

As time passed, Lao Liu felt more and more strange.Today there are two distinguished guests coming to the house. If this continues, I am afraid that the position of housekeeper that I finally got will have to be replaced.

"It's been almost an hour since morning, and this guy doesn't look like he's looking for trouble!"

The concierge said depressedly.

The most important thing in his line of work is not other things, but the ability of people.We receive and deliver goods every day, and the more people we come into contact with, the more we gain some experience.Anyone can guess a lot about this person just by looking at him.

The man in front of him is beautifully dressed, his hair is meticulously combed, and he has a jade hairpin that is a rare and top-quality jade, which makes him look very noble. Even if he does not come from a powerful family, he is from a wealthy family. This kind of outfit is not something that ordinary people can afford. .

Moreover, even if this person was pointed out, he remained indifferent, even a little calm, without the slightest look of embarrassment. At first glance, he had experienced strong winds and waves.

"That's too late!"

Old Liu stamped his feet, seeing that the distinguished guest was about to arrive. If the distinguished guest saw this scene, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Ji's family?

After saying that, he was about to step forward to persuade him to leave, but before he could make any move, he saw a carriage stop in front of the door.

Zheng Xuanxu felt the carriage stop and was about to get off, but as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a person standing in front of the gate of Duke Xi's mansion.

After taking a closer look, he was a little surprised. He quickly got out of the carriage and said, "Why is Brother Dugu here?"

Yes, the person standing in front of the Chengguo Duke's mansion is one of today's guests.

"The villain doesn't understand the noble man's current situation, so he still asks the noble man to atone for his sins!"

Lao Liu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Dugumou.

Regardless of the previous grievances between the head of the family and the Dugu family, the visitor is a guest, and the other party comes according to etiquette. As a host, there is no reason to be rude.

I just don’t know why this person stood in front of the Duke’s Mansion for so long?

Zheng Xuanxu was a little puzzled. When he saw Lao Liu apologizing to Dugu Mou, he wondered what happened before?
"A certain family remembers that the previous housekeeper was not you? What? Has he been replaced?"

Facing Dugu Mou's inquiry, Lao Liu replied: "Thanks to the master of the family, Butler Zheng worked so hard and was promised to establish a separate family by the master of the family, but he only sent his son there and did not want to leave the house. The master of the family felt pity for his loyalty, so he let him go. He became a worshiper at home and spent his old age in another courtyard."

When Lao Liu said this, there was a trace of envy on his face involuntarily. This was the qualification to establish a branch family. From the time he was introduced as a servant, he turned into a member of this big family. How could they not be envious of this?
"Hey, look at my memory. Since the two distinguished guests are here, please come in quickly. The master of the house has been waiting for a long time."

After saying that, he invited a few people in, but what surprised him was that the rarely opened door of the house suddenly opened wide, and the head of the house actually came out to greet him in person?

You must know that the head of the family is the Duke of the State of Xi at this time, and his identity and status are far above the other two, so there is no need to welcome him in person!

"Haha! Brother Xuanxu, brother Dugu, long time no see!"

Ji Song laughed and walked out from behind the door and walked quickly towards the two of them.Zheng Xuanxu and Dugu Mou looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes!
But this was not the time to think about these things. The two people hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Duke Xi!"

"Oh! I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Ji Song held the two of them up, not even Gu Mou's bravery could bow down in the slightest, and he was suddenly horrified!

Ji Song hadn't seen him for many years, but Wu was really good at it. He had been practicing diligently over the years, but he couldn't get any favors from Ji Song.The reluctance I felt at first was instantly extinguished.

It is really not a wise choice to be an enemy of such a person, and the pride in my heart has also dissipated a lot.

Zheng Xuanxu had never practiced martial arts. He just felt that Ji Song was very strong, but he didn't think much about it.With his current status, Ji Song could go out to greet them in person, which was considered a great honor. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even bigger.

Ji Song first looked at Zheng Xuanxu and said with emotion: "Brother Xuanxu, we have been friends for many years. Song will always remember your help to Song. If anything happens in the future, just say it, as long as it can be done , I, Ji Song, will never refuse!"

"Hey, Mr. Xi made a serious statement. We have the same clan and ancestors. How can I, Mrs. Zheng, watch you being bullied by other outsiders? We are a family that doesn't speak the same language. We can't be like this in the future."

Zheng Xuanxu said somewhat reproachfully.

Ji Song was stunned for a moment, but when he saw its sincere gaze, he was deeply moved.Said: "It's my fault, it's my fault, it's my fault!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Dugu Mou, who seemed calm but actually had some turmoil in his heart, and said, "We have known each other for more than ten years, right?"

"Yes, it has been more than ten years. When I was young and ignorant, I committed many foolish things. I am here to apologize to you!"

Dugumou didn't hesitate and immediately revealed his trump card.

Ji Songyan flashed a trace of fear. He was able to bend and stretch, and endured things that ordinary people could not endure. He was a character.

"No!"

No matter what he thinks in his heart, and no matter what Dugu Mou's purpose is, since he has apologized, he has to accept it. This is the rule of the honorable family.

As a warrior, sometimes it is even more difficult for them to accept defeat than to kill them.Dugumou's ability to do this was already his limit.If he doesn't give him face today and refuses on the spot, then the two families will be regarded as mortal enemies from now on.

There will also be rumors that Ji Song cannot tolerate others, which is extremely detrimental to him!

He held him up and prevented him from bowing down, and said: "Although you were wrong before, I was young and vigorous back then. This matter ends here. No one should say anything about it in the future. How about it?"

Ji Song didn't want to get into any more entanglement on this matter, and he didn't care whether Dugu Mou's apology and reconciliation were true or false.If it was really okay, he wouldn't hold on to this matter, not to mention that he didn't suffer any loss from beginning to end, and he almost threw Dugu Mou to death in the palace.

As long as he doesn't provoke him in the future, it's up to him.If he didn't have eyes, would Ji Song be afraid?

"Let's go, today not only Brother Xuanxu is here, but there is also a hero like Brother Dugu, who wants to have a good drink no matter what. We have been waiting for a long time for fine wine and food at home, what are you two waiting for?"

After saying that, he held hands with each other and strode towards the mansion.

Dugumou was stunned for a moment, but did not break away. He smiled bitterly and followed him.

"Slow down, slow down! You reckless man, walk slower...!"

It doesn't matter to Dugumou, but not to Zheng Xuanxu. He is just a scholar. Being pulled by Ji Song like this is better to be said to be being dragged. The people I usually meet are all scholars, but when I meet someone like Ji Song, it is unreasonable. After playing the cards, he suddenly became a little anxious. "Haha! Brother Xuanxu, your body is not strong enough, and you don't know about your sister-in-law."

"To shut up!"

"Yes, I can't find anything else to do alone, but my body and bones are very good. Women, I need it."

"Shameless!
"Ha ha!"

"."

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the moon in early spring has a hint of chill.Ji Song and Dugu Mou are both martial arts practitioners with strong energy and blood, and they don't care at all if they expose their breasts!
But as a scholar, Zheng Xuanxu couldn't do it. He had asked the maid to bring him a quilt early, and now he was wrapped like a bear.

"They say I am ignorant and ignorant, but who knows how I survived on the battlefield all these years?"

Tear!

Pulling open his chest, Ji Song shrank his eyes and saw that his chest was covered with scars. There was an eye-catching scar running from his chest to his stomach, which was extremely ferocious.Based on Ji Song's experience, if this knife had been a little deeper, he would have been disemboweled and his death would have been extremely miserable!

"what!"

Zheng Xuanxu realized later. When he saw Dugumou's scar, his heart suddenly tightened, he was covered in cold sweat, and he was sober from drinking.

"Brother Dugu, this is..."

Dugu Mou didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "What else can be done? I am the only one left in the Dugu family. If I don't support the whole family, I'm afraid I will completely withdraw from Chang'an in a few years."

"My Dugu family was born in the former Sui Dynasty and fought for the Tang Dynasty. We suffered countless casualties. How can the prosperity and wealth we have gained in this family decline? Anyway, it is just this life, or we can win the capital for the Dugu family's rise on the battlefield. , or die vigorously and settle the matter!"

"A certain family may die in battle or be killed, but they will never lie in bed waiting to die!"

Ji Song looked somewhat relieved and said comfortingly: "Your Dugu family can be regarded as princes for generations, and there are many family generals to assist you. As long as we unite as one, nothing will happen."

"You do not understand!"

Dugu Mou shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Sometimes I really envy you. You have wisdom, skills, and talents. Finally, you have the emperor's trust. How many years have you been here? You grew up from a small family in the countryside. In more than ten years, it has become a big family with no less than five surnames and seven hopes."

"But I can't do it. I don't have the skills you have. What my ancestors left me is the ability to kill people. I can only win military exploits on the battlefield, and only then can I continue the family."

He looked at Ji Song with complicated eyes: "Sometimes I'm just jealous of you. How come you, Ji Song, can be an extremely powerful minister and have so many abilities? That's why I provoked you because I refused to accept it. I just wanted to see What ability do you have, Ji Song, to win the emperor's trust so much?"

"But you have also seen that a certain family is just humiliating themselves. It's just that their literary talents are not as good as yours. Even the martial arts that I am proud of are not as good as yours."

"You know? Sometimes I want to destroy you.!"

Then he shook his head: "But it won't work. I'm not sure, and I don't dare to do this. Even if I succeed by luck, I will be liquidated by the emperor. Plus you, Ji, it will be difficult for me to die!"

Zheng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He regretted staying.This person is simply a lunatic. If he says that he wants to kill you in front of the rightful owner, he is either a fool or he is emboldened!

Considering the background of this bastard, it can only be the latter.

The Longxi aristocratic military group is still alive and well. It seems to be hiding behind the scenes for so many years, but its power has not necessarily decreased much.

Now the Western Region Protectorate, Beiting Protectorate, Anxi Protectorate, Anton Protectorate, and Annan Protectorate all have their shadows.

They have not been in the court these years, but their tentacles are everywhere.The forces in the military are even more terrifying!Over the years, the emperor has continued to suppress them, but he has only eliminated their traces in the court and Guanzhong. However, he has to rely on them in the military. The Duhufu has military and political power. What is the difference between them and the princes?
That is to say, now they have no leader who can unite everyone, and with the lack of success, it is difficult for the rising stars to continue, so they continue to compromise with the emperor in order to protect themselves!
"You drank too much!"

Ji Song shook his head, wanting to end this boring banquet!
"No, I didn't drink too much!"

Dugumou stood up, picked up the sword beside him, and said loudly: "I just don't accept it. How can those scholars who have no power to restrain the chickens be able to point out the country in the court, while those of us who have lived and died for the Tang Dynasty?" But you can only suffer in that hellish place where nothing matters?"

"The Tang Dynasty was bought with the blood and lives of our ancestors. How can the Li family turn their backs and deny anyone else if they become kings?"

"Why?"

"what!"

"Bang!"

Ji Song shook his hand, saw Dugu Mou collapsed on the ground, and sneered: "You can't accept this or that with just this amount of alcohol, what do you want to do? Isn't it just that a few people have died, and after a few days of hard life, you feel aggrieved?" Already?"

"Compared to those who died, you are lucky."

"Get up, stop pretending to be asleep! It's too fake!"

He kicked Zheng Xuanxu casually, which made him angry.

"Ah!"

Zheng Xuanxu stretched out and looked around. When he saw Dugu Mou slumped on the ground like a dead man, he was surprised and said: "You don't know how to kill people and silence them, right?"

After saying that, he looked at Ji Song warily, as if he would run away if something went wrong!

"Damn it, for a little chicken like you, I can hit ten of them with one hand. Can you run away?"

Ji Song sneered at this guy who was afraid of death. Why didn't he realize that this guy had this side of pretending to be stupid before?
"This guy is too arrogant. Can he say these things casually? If His Majesty finds out, this guy will be dead. Fortunately, you knocked him out in time, otherwise nothing would have happened."

After he finished, he sighed and said: "Why do I just carry it so far? Can this happen to me? If I knew he was coming today, I wouldn't come even if I said nothing. Being with this guy is like having my head tied up." It’s the same as on the waistband, it’s too dangerous!”

Ji Song rolled his eyes. Others didn't know, but he still knew about this guy.

If it weren't for this guy, would all the old guys in the Zheng clan be as good as quails now?In terms of skill and ruthlessness, this guy is not inferior to the one lying on the ground at all.

"Okay, you act like shit in front of me!"

After saying that, he ignored him and called the housekeeper to carry Dugumou into the guest room. The weather was still cold now. If something happened to him due to the cold, those old guys would have to fight for their lives!

Now those people are just a bunch of mad dogs with no successors. If they want to keep their current wealth, they can only pretend to be full of thorns and bite whoever they catch. He doesn't want to be the target of that group of people!
It was getting late, so the two of them said hello and went back to the room to rest.!
