So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

At this moment, the man in black robe was standing on the roof of a certain mansion, looking down at the people passing by on the street, feeling an unknown fire rising quietly from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, he planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and watch the dogs of the Mu family and the Gongsun family bite the dogs. However, he did not want to change, and he became the murderer of Gongsun Zan.

It happened that the Gongsun family confirmed this matter for the Mu family, which was the most annoying thing.

Mu Zhian obviously killed the third son of the Gongsun family.

Why would the Gongsun family be willing to help regardless of past grudges...?

The man in black robe's eyes flickered slightly, thinking secretly.

When two enemies suddenly become allies, there is only one possibility.

They have a common enemy.

So the question is, who is this common enemy?

The answer is self-evident.

The man in black robe said with a dark face: "That brat actually tricked me."

This is not good. If the Gongsun family and the Mu family join forces, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble on my side...

At this time, the corner of the black-robed man's eyes suddenly fell on the back door of a certain courtyard.

A plump and beautiful woman quietly left from the back door of the courtyard. Behind her, a man was holding her hips. The two of them were inseparable, as if they were whispering something.

Bai Yuanfeng.

The man in black robe looked at this scene, and after a brief hesitation, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

…

"Hey, why is this young lady still hesitating about whether to run away from home?"

In the early morning, Mu Zhian leaned on his desk and spread out the paper crane that had just flown in from the window. He looked at the beautiful handwriting in the letter, but secretly shook his head and sighed.

Since his first reply to the owner of the paper crane a few days ago, Mu Zhian has almost always received a reply from the paper crane on the same day or early the next morning.

The words in the letters are basically the same every time. They are nothing more than "I have had enough of the shackles of my family and I want to run away from home", and "I have no choice anymore. This time, no matter what the elders say, I will leave." I want to go out and relax.”

However, whenever Mu Zhian asked the other party "Where are you now?", the other party's answer was basically:

"We haven't set off yet."

Mu Zhian: "..."

If you put this in modern times, you would be a dwarf in action.

But it doesn't matter.

He finally figured it out, and all he had to do was play the role of a listener.

Mu Zhian didn't mind taking the time to reply to the other party.

Anyway, it’s okay to just pass the time.

Although he still doesn't know who the owner of the paper crane is or where he is.

After writing the letter, Mu Zhian folded the paper crane and threw it out of the window.

Then, as if he thought of something, he turned to look at Wei Mengrou and said, "Sister Mengrou, do you know where this paper crane flies every time?"

The tall, cool beauty stood quietly in the shadow of the corner of the study room. Her black hair was draped like a waterfall, and a strand of hair in front of her forehead fell on her face, giving off a somewhat lazy atmosphere.

She raised her head and looked in the direction the paper crane was leaving, then shook her head slightly.

"You can't tell where it flew just from the direction."

"Then when we have free time next time, let's go for a walk together and follow the direction of the paper crane to investigate?" Mu Zhian said.

"Why don't you just say that you want me to investigate the origin of the paper crane clearly? Why bother beating around the bush?" Wei Mengrou said coldly.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said: "That's still different. Investigating the origin of the paper crane is just a side trip. We can just go out for a walk together, chat, and cultivate the relationship between master and servant... How about it?"

Wei Mengrou was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "Let's talk about it next time we have a chance."

She didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic any longer, so she changed the subject and said, "Your guess is correct. Your reputation has changed since this morning."

"Many people now look at you in a different light than before, thinking that you are just a lustful person, but you are a righteous person." Wei Mengrou said.

"Taking this opportunity, you may be able to do more to make the people of Tianxuan City have a great improvement in your image."

She was a little emotional, and even found it a little strange.

Mu Zhian had obviously done so many evil things in the past... Although it wasn't too much, his reputation had always been extremely poor.

But this time he just stopped Gongsun Zan from insulting the eldest lady of the Chen family. The accumulated bad reputation collapsed in an instant, and then a brand new tall building was piled up.

If people used to avoid Mu Zhian when he went out on the street, now, when these people see Mu Zhian, they will secretly whisper and praise his previous behavior.

If he takes this opportunity and continues to do good things, maybe the title of "dandy kid" can be whitewashed.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "There is no need to do more, and there is no need to make anyone change their impression of me."

Wei Mengrou raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and said, "Isn't it good to make people like you and improve your reputation?"

"Good, but not entirely good." Mu Zhian published a famous sentence for the Mao Dun Literature Award.

Wei Mengrou said nothing, but looked at Mu Zhian in confusion.

"No matter what era, people like to create 'gods'."

Mu Zhian said: "But how can there be any gods in this world? They can regard you as a god now, regard you as their faith, and give you a thumbs up when they see you. But one day they find out that you have done something wrong, even if Just a trivial matter will directly tear off the mask of hypocrisy and attack you collectively."

"Because from the moment you become a public figure in people's eyes, all your flaws will be magnified ten or even a hundred times."

"So, I hate being complimented, and I don't like people labeling me as someone who is brave enough to help others."

He is a simple LSP, Greedy Naizi, especially now that Greedy Wei Mengrou and Bai Ruoxi... As for establishing a good image in the eyes of others, it is completely meaningless. Now he is clean, but he can't predict the day in the future because of something trivial. Little things change from white to black again.

"Just like Sister Mengrou, for example, if one day you are suddenly rated as the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City and become a great beauty in the eyes of the public, everyone will like you. Then one day it is suddenly revealed that you are having sex with your family The owner is in love, no matter whether it is true or false, gossip will start at this time. "

Wei Mengrou lowered her eyes, seeming to be thinking about Mu Zhian's words.

"This is what you said yesterday, people just want to entertain themselves and don't care about the truth of the matter, right?"

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded.

"The Gongsun family confirmed for you today that Gongsun Zan was not killed by you, but by the men in black robes." Wei Mengrou said suddenly.

"I know." Mu Zhian nodded.

Wei Mengrou opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't have the nerve to say it.

Mu Zhian raised his head to look at the sexy and cool beauty and smiled: "Sister Mengrou wants to ask me why the Gongsun family will help me, right?"

Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment, and finally said "hmm" softly.

"Actually, Gongsun Xiong was helping himself." Mu Zhian said.

"The success of the Gongsun family in Tianxuan City is indispensable to Gongsun Xiong."

"Gong Sunxiong is a smart man, and smart people know how to pretend to be confused."

Gongsun Xiong may not have doubted whether his third son was killed by Mu Zhian, no... he should know it well.

But he still pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.

After all, money is nothing compared to the future interests of the Gongsun family.

The man in black robe is the real enemy.

At this time, Wei Mengrou suddenly stopped talking. She covered her breath and quietly hid in the corner of the bookcase by the window.

Before Mu Zhian could ask, he immediately felt an astonishing murderous intent coming from the window.

The next moment, a man wearing a plain robe and a bamboo hat walked into the study.

From his height and build, and even the cold aura on his body, it was not difficult to tell that this person was the man in black robe who wanted Ye Yu.

Didn't he even wear a black robe? After Mu Zhian looked at the man in front of him for a few times, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

He coughed slightly and said with a serious look: "Why did you come to me so early in the morning? Didn't you agree to give me three days to deal with the Gongsun family's affairs?"

"Master Mu, you have really thrown away this burden. All the responsibilities have been thrown on me alone, and I am quite free."

The man in black robe suddenly raised his head, a pair of cold eyes under the bamboo hat burst with meaning.

Mu Zhian's expression remained unchanged, and he just looked directly at the man in black robe calmly.

It is not difficult to see that the man in black robe is really angry, but the fact that he did not take action means that the other party still knows the priority of the matter. It seems that Ye Yu is really important to him... Mu Zhi'an felt slightly clear.

He quickly showed a gentle smile and said: "Calm down first. I also hope to have a better solution, but at present, this is the only way to solve this trouble in a short time."

"Pour all the dirty water on me, you call it a solution?" The man in black robe stared at Mu Zhian coldly.

If Mu Zhian failed to give a reasonable explanation, it was not difficult for him to guarantee what he would do.

"Since you are an outsider, you shouldn't care about the opinions of the people in Tianxuan City, right?" Mu Zhian said with a smile.

"We have a cooperative relationship. Since I'm going to give Ye Yu to you, it's okay for you to take on a little responsibility for me, right?"

The man in black robe snorted coldly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he stopped talking.

Mu Zhian was right, he didn't care about the dirty water.

But even so, he was still very unhappy, but now that he had to rely on Mu Zhian, he had to take the big, black pot.

"When are you going to take Ye Yu to Longshou Forest?" the man in black robe asked in a deep voice.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "There will be more patrols in the city in the past two days. Let's set the time in two days."

The man in black robe softened a little, and suddenly said: "For the sake of my cooperation with Master Mu, I will give Master Mu another piece of information."

Why do you have so much information... Also, how did the supporting villains in the past have so much information be crushed by the 'protagonist'... Mu Zhian complained in his heart, looking at the man in black robe, waiting for his next words. .

"The Bai family and the Gongsun family are not enemies." The man in black robe said.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, and his face showed surprise for the first time.

The Bai family has almost been suppressed by the Gongsun family and the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce to the point of doubting life. But now you tell me that these two families are not enemies?

"Just now the wife of the Bai family patriarch went to Gongsun's family." The man in black robe said.

This simple sentence contained a huge amount of information, which made Mu Zhian stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Then, a strange look appeared on his face.

He suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.
