The demon world I designed

The guard at the door was still a little confused when he heard the shouting at the door. He rubbed his eyes and thought he had seen it wrong.

In early spring in the capital, the days are short and the nights are long. Although it is already after Mao hour and approaching Chen hour, the sky is still not bright at all. It is indeed time to open the city gate at this time, but the guards, as old oilmen, know very well that during this period Very few people would come to the capital to do business at this time, so he spent most of his time making a soft bunk next to the stove and sleeping comfortably until dawn. This had been the case for the past two months, but he didn't expect that there would be an exception today.

"Just two people?"

The guard was obviously reluctant to part with the warm quilt, so he put on his cotton armor and reluctantly came to the city and opened the gate. It would be difficult to continue sleeping on it after the gate was opened. It was really just the right time for him to come.

However, when he opened the city gate and saw only two old men carrying the goods, he was stunned.

The world today is not peaceful. There are man-eating monsters everywhere outside. Especially in winter, there are many monsters that attack caravans with hunger and thirst. Nowadays, most of the people who dare to go out to do business are from big families who can afford to hire bloodline family soldiers and warlock masters. kind of.

The guards became a little nervous for a moment. There were a lot of monsters in human skins now. If they were let in, they would lose their jobs. Now the capital was overcrowded and refugees were everywhere. The adults above were trying to drive them away. The reason why I can live in a safe capital is entirely because of my job. If I lose my job, I'm afraid I will be kicked out of here the next day.

He didn't want to go back to his hometown. His relatives in his hometown wrote to him half a year ago saying that he wanted to come to the capital to join his relatives. However, it has been half a year since he came and there has been no news. There is a high probability that he was eaten on the way.

"Oh hahaha, brother, don't be nervous. We are merchants from the south of the Yangtze River. We are not the human-skin monsters you think." One of the old men seemed to understand the other person's mentality at this time, and he quickly smiled and comforted.

The soldier frowned, still hesitating for a moment. If the other party was really a monster, he actually didn't dare to stop him. The brothers on duty hadn't arrived yet. At such a close distance, his three-cat catching skill might very well become someone's snack. of.

However, when the other party said he was a Jiangnan goods merchant, his expression became slightly better.

These days, when it comes to where small teams of traders dare to do business, Jiangnan is the only answer. The huge profits there are many people who are willing to fly into the flames in a place where monsters are everywhere. After all, the greater the risk, the lower the value of the goods. The higher the price, especially the goods in Jiangnan are mostly hard currency, and there are actually many desperadoes who dare to take risks, but just two old people... is that a bit exaggerated?

His pupils suddenly shrank in confusion, as if he had seen some incredible scene.

"You, you, you are"

The soldier suddenly recognized something, the old man in gray clothes, the scar above his left eye, and a long memory came to his mind.

"Master Mu?" The guard's voice was cautious and a little unbelievable.

"Huh?" One of the two old men was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at the other. After almost two breaths, the old man who was called Mr. Mu suddenly smiled: "Oh, it turns out to be Brother Jiang. How is your sister? ? Can it be restored?”

"It's really Master Mu!" The soldier quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "It's really you!"

Sir Mu Hongqing, many people who have been involved in the HNA business know this gentleman. Among the more than thirty academic administrators in the Jin Dynasty, this gentleman is the most practical academic administrator. Whenever something supernatural happens, The older generation of maritime merchants will go to this gentleman.

Back then, he was still a cargo runner. That year, he was afraid that his stepmother would persecute his little sister, so he secretly took her on a voyage with her. As a result, all the crew members on the ship that year were pregnant with sea monsters. An experienced ship dealer said that once a woman is pregnant, Being targeted by water ghosts at sea, there is basically no way to survive if you are pregnant with a ghost fetus. You will die early and be released early.

But he didn't want to give up, so he overturned a group of bodyguards and saved his own sister.

At that time, the ship dealer saw that he was brave and loyal, so he pointed out a clear path, saying that there was news recently that the academic scholar Mu Hongqing was staying in Xihai City. If he could be invited to take action, the women on the ship would still have a chance of survival. !

In the past, academic masters and third-grade officials were something that they, the poor-legged ones, would never have the right to look up to. But that time, for the sake of his relatives, he had the courage to come to the door.

Unexpectedly, although the gentleman was strict, he was not vague about dealing with monsters. He rescued more than 20 pregnant women on the entire ship.

After that incident, he no longer had any intention of continuing to sell goods at sea. After making a lot of money, he brought his sister to the capital, used the money he earned to manage things, and found a job as a doorman.

As for the scholar-gentleman, although he has not seen him for many years, he has always kept his life-saving grace in his heart.

"Sir, do you still remember the villain?" The soldier suddenly became excited and said quickly: "Thank you, sir, for remembering me. My little sister has thanked you for your kindness. Her body has been well-rested in the past two years. I am going to celebrate the New Year, so I will tell her something." Marriage."

"Okay, okay, that's good." Mu Hongqing's serious face showed a smile, but it looked particularly gentle, which immediately made the soldier's heart feel warmer.

The old man on the side saw this scene and sneered in his heart.

Everyone thinks that Mu Hongqing is an upright person, but only those who really know him know that he is a guy who is as scheming as Lu Ming.

His technique has the ability to confuse people's hearts, amplify certain emotions, and can also plant cause and effect in ordinary people. Those who receive his kindness will be doubly grateful to him. The greater the kindness, the longer it lasts, and the more likely they will be. Be grateful to him, and you may even be directly brainwashed by him and become a puppet.

The young man in front of me is one of them. Why were they able to reach the city gate at this time? Why is it that he is the only one who opens the door at this time?

Because Mu Hongqing's skills can calculate where the person who planted the cause and effect will be to help him.

No one in the warlock world wants to owe Mu Hongqing a favor. Only those who don't know it owe a favor. This is a very terrible technique. This is why the emperor reused him in the first place.

Maybe Chen Qing didn't even know that he actually owed Mu Hongqing a huge favor, and the bargaining chip for that favor was the precious disciple he had cultivated since childhood: Chen Ying!

With the gratitude of the soldier, the two of them entered the city gate smoothly. Moreover, at this hour, no one went out, so the two of them did not attract much attention.

"No wonder you are willing to help these little people everywhere. It turns out that sometimes little people can have such a big impact?"

"Sowing good causes will reap good fruits, haven't you ever heard of it, Your Excellency?" Mu Hongqing said calmly: "The more you do good, the more help you will receive."

"Hahahaha." Liu Yu burst into laughter: "You are such a great person, but I wonder if your disciple will still miss you as his mentor so much after knowing about your surgery?"

"I don't need to worry about it anymore, Mr. Song Guogong." Mu Hongqing said coldly: "Let's focus on business. Song Guogong asked me to come, so he didn't come to dig up my background, right?"

He was surprised that Song Guogong Liu Yu came to his door. According to the other party, Master Ziyue came to him to do a very important thing, and he chose himself as his only partner.

In today's world, there are so many extraordinary things. He is also very curious that he, a mortal who is still wandering around as a first-level warlock, can still be favored by the Xixiang Warlock.
