Chapter 153 152. The Master’s Charm is Unmatched Even by the Fairies! (Please Subscribe to the Monthly Ticket!)
Seeing that Wei Youqing was determined to achieve his goal, Ning Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Let's talk about it later. If Wei Jijiu likes you, it doesn't matter how long you stay. But don't forget to pay the silver, hahaha..."

Ning Mu waved his hand, then took Liuli, walked past Wei Youqing, and went straight out of the village gate.

Looking at Ning Mu's handsome back, Wei Youqing's expression suddenly flashed with a trace of surprise, and then she looked at him helplessly. Until the figures of Ning Mu and Liuli completely disappeared from her sight, she turned back unwillingly and walked towards the back mountain.

The Master's fate was even related to the rise and fall, honor and disgrace, and survival of the Jixia Academy.

This young man named Ning Mu must be taken back.

She had no choice but to stay and find another way to complete her mission!

"How long will you continue to touch me?"

On the mountain path.

Liuli finally couldn't bear it anymore, she threw her hands away and glared at Ning Mu angrily.

But there was not much anger in that rosy face and those beautiful eyes. Instead, they were filled with shame, anger, and dissatisfaction.

"The nun invited me out, so what if I just touched her hand?" Ning Mu said as if it was a matter of course.

Liuli's eyes twitched suddenly and she shook her pupils speechlessly.

"I don't want to bother with you!"

After saying this stubbornly, Liuli took the lead angrily, stepped on the thorn bushes, jumped up directly, and flew deeper into the forest.

Ning Mu chuckled, and then flew up, following behind Liuli, admiring her charming figure.

The two of them seemed to be having fun, chasing each other and playing around in the forest.

It's as if all worldly concepts have been abandoned.

On a flat ground in the woods.

The bonfire was crackling, and the flames made crackling sounds.

On the bonfire rack was a bird that was skewered on a thin wooden stick and had begun to ooze fat after being roasted.

And next to the campfire, under the tree roots.

Liuli snuggled into Ning Mu's arms.

At this moment, except for the sound of the burning flames, the world seemed to be completely silent, with only her and this scoundrel left.

Don't worry about being discovered and laughed at.

There is no need to worry about damaging your reputation.

Liuli showed her true feelings, leaning in Ning Mu's arms, not saying a word, and her breathing became much calmer.

The flames illuminated her radiant face, and her sparkling eyes, reflected by the flames, looked so pure and innocent.

"Hmm~ Stop pinching it, it looks like it's done, go and have a look..."

Liuli uttered a light cry, her cheeks full of charm. She sat up straight, pushed away the hand that was holding Cibei's hand, glanced at Ning Mu shyly, then lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

She couldn't let this guy pinch her any longer.

Otherwise, she felt that the soil under the tree would be turned into mud by her.

"Aren't you a vegetarian on weekdays? Why did you want to go hunting in the mountains today and eat this roasted pheasant?"

Ning Mu couldn't help but smile evilly.

He stood up and walked to the campfire, putting his fingers under his nose and sniffing gently on the way, making Liuli blush.

"What is it to you? I want to break the precepts. Why do I need to inform you about it?" Liuli snorted and stared at Ning Mu with a proud look on her face.

But the radiant color in her eyes and the blush on her pretty face can make people feel distracted.

"Since you've broken your meat-eating vow, why not... break your sex vow as well?"

Ning Mu chuckled.

He then took the roasted meat and walked over to Liuli and sat down. He tore off a brown and juicy chicken leg and handed it to her, looking at her with a teasing look.

Liuli reached out and took the chicken leg.

There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. He rolled his eyes at Ning Mu without responding.

Ning Mu couldn't help but feel happy.

No response is the best result!

Under normal circumstances, if I had said such frivolous things, Master Liuli would have been ashamed and angry and scolded me.

But at this moment, she just rolled her eyes coquettishly.

What does this mean?
This shows that there is a promising future!

Liuli lowered her head, looked at the fragrant chicken leg in her hand, and swallowed subconsciously.

good smell!

It looks crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and is very delicious.

But a little nauseating.

She knew that this was her reaction after smelling the meat because she had not eaten meat for a long time.

She secretly glanced at Ning Mu and saw that he had already started eating with relish. After hesitating for a moment, she also put the chicken leg into her mouth, gently took a small bite, and slowly chewed and savored it.

call……

The smell of meat!

Liuli couldn't find any feeling to describe.

Her stomach was churning, but her mouth felt refreshed, especially the charcoal-grilled flavor, which made her linger.

In a short while, she had finished most of the chicken leg.

Before he could savor it carefully, Ning Mu handed him another one.

"Hiccup~"

Liuli burped subconsciously, then looked at Ning Mu a little embarrassedly, took the chicken leg and continued eating.

And just then.

Suddenly, their ears moved and they looked at each other.

someone!

And it's not just one or two.

Ning Mu quickly got up and put out the bonfire.

then.

The two of them hid in the bushes and quietly followed the sound.

Not long after.

Behind a huge rock on a hillside.

The two men saw a group of people moving forward quietly and silently.

Almost all of them wore the same coarse linen clothes, in different shades.

Judging from the direction they were heading, they were heading towards Changshui County within the territory of Qi State.

This group of people looked solemn. Except for a few people at the front, the rest of them had righteous looks on their faces. They walked with great concentration, without any small movements.

It's like a well-trained army.

Ning Mu couldn't help but frown slightly.

Our current location is on the back of Ningyang Mountain. After crossing the ridge, we will reach Ningyang Village.

This path is one of the several paths leading to the territory of Qi State.

The two were watching.

Suddenly, Liuli frowned and explained softly, "Judging from their steps and weapons, they should be from the Zhenwu Army of the Chu State. The sword on the leader's waist is a command sword that only the captains of the Zhenwu Army are qualified to wear. However, the weapons in the hands of the people in the front are messy, so they are not from the Zhenwu Army!"

"Why did the Chu army come to our Qi territory?" Ning Mu was stunned.

Liuli shook her head, also looking confused.

"I can't be mistaken, unless it's a fake. But even if he's in disguise, he can't hide his military aura. Even if it's not the Chu Zhenwu Army, it must be the border army. Only border soldiers can have this kind of momentum!"

Border troops!

Ning Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Are the Qi and Chu countries going to go to war?
If this is true, then Ningyang Village, which is located on the border, is in danger!
When the army passes through, even with Liu Qingmei and Liuli, how many people can they protect?

"Let's go back!"

Ning Mu waited until the group of disguised soldiers disappeared completely and seemed to be heading for Changshui County, then he spoke to Liuli.

Liuli nodded, but her eyes were flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking.

[Hint: Congratulations to the host for completing Mission 500, Branch 50, and obtaining 0.5 points of training points, points of companion points, and of the Nine-transformation Divine Yuan Pill.]

[Reminder: Congratulations to the host, Liuli, the owner of subsystem No. 100, for completing mission 2, branch line 79, and reporting the mission reward to the host. You will receive cultivation points, and Liuli's loyalty value will increase by %. The current loyalty value is %. ]

Ning Mu's heart moved and he looked at Liuli.

Seeing Liuli's sparkling eyes at this moment, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Tai..."

"Hmm?" Liuli immediately raised her head in panic and looked at Ning Mu, but then lowered her head shyly.

"I think……"

"What do you want to do!"

Ning Mu's eyes lit up.

Seeing Liuli's pretty face filled with shyness that was hard to conceal, he couldn't help but feel comforted.

If it were in the past, she would definitely refuse to speak.

But at this moment, I actually asked myself what I wanted to do.

Although his tone seemed angry, it actually contained a hint of hope.

This change made Ning Mu overjoyed.

Immediately.

He chuckled, glanced at Liuli's sexy thin lips, then nodded sharply and said, "I do!"

Liuli was startled.

I didn't react for a long time.

But when she was pulled by Ning Mu and flew up, and finally landed steadily on the crown of a towering tree, and was pressed on the shoulders to squat, she finally reacted.

"Bad rascal!" Liuli couldn't help but feel flustered and short of breath. She cursed shyly and then lowered her head.

It can be seen that she does not resist.

Even felt a bit happy about it.

But the shame in her heart prevented her from completely letting go, and she could only be passively guided by Ning Mu.

Ning Mu immediately stroked her head and bewitched her, "Master, hurry up, it will be dark if you delay any longer, and you don't want anyone to know that you are doing this to me on the tree, right?"

At this moment, Liuli felt a sense of warmth in her heart for no reason.

She even had an inexplicable feeling of absurdity, as if "the Buddha would touch my head and grant me eternal life."

"call……"

Leaning on the branches of the big tree, Ning Mu couldn't help but close his eyes.

As for Liuli.

Time passed slowly.

The sky gradually darkened.

suddenly.

Ning Mu, who was enjoying Liuli's service, moved his ears.

He immediately opened his eyes and looked at the path not far below.

I saw a few people who were suspected to be from the Chu State Zhenwu Army team turning back the same way they came.

Ning Mu couldn't help but feel moved.

I took a closer look at it.

He found that these people were the ones who were walking unruly at the front of the team. He held his breath and concentrated, and could vaguely hear their conversation.

Liuli, who was squatting on the tree canopy, was startled. She naturally also noticed the people on the path below.

But at this moment she was not distracted and was focused on getting Ning Mu to confess as soon as possible.

Feeling Ning Mu's sudden concentration, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

This bastard is so reckless.

Don't you want to take advantage of this opportunity?
But at this moment, Ning Mu had no idea what Liuli was thinking.

As he listened attentively.

The conversation between those people fell into my ears.

"...Captain Huang is really a dog who looks down on others. He has an arrogant attitude. What's wrong with a bandit? He is a general of the Zhenwu Army, but he doesn't even have the cultivation level of a grandmaster!"

"That's right. We were kind enough to take them across the border, but they acted like they didn't want to respond. Who were they pretending to be for?"

"If it weren't for the order from the head of the stronghold, I really wanted to take those bastards to the Qi army camp!"

"Hush... You can't say that. The village chief and his men have a plan. We should just follow their orders and don't ruin their plan!"

"Yes, yes, yes. But think about it, if the village master can really succeed, this merit of following the dragon will bring blessings to his descendants. It's really cool!"

"..."

Leading party?
Ning Mu raised his eyebrows, probably understanding the conversation between those people.

It seems that the team just now was really the Zhenwu Army of the Chu State.

And judging from the information revealed by these guys, they should be bandits from a mountain stronghold near the border, and there may even be a master in the stronghold!

Grandmaster copycat?

Yunxiao Village!
Is Yunxiao Village planning a rebellion?
Ning Mu's heart couldn't help but shudder slightly, his waist suddenly jerked, and he subconsciously exclaimed.

How can a mere den of bandits, even if it has one or two masters, defeat a country with hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, masters everywhere, a huge number of real strong men, and even a country with half-saints ruling over it?

Have to admit.

The leader of Yunxiao Village is an ambitious woman!
But this ambition may be difficult to achieve.

Until the group of people gradually went away and completely disappeared from the range.

"damn thing!"

"You don't know how to be gentle with women at all. Do you want to suffocate me to death?"

call.

For a long time.

Liuli finally calmed down her heart which was about to explode due to shortness of breath.

She raised her head, with a hint of shame and anger in her red eyes, and spoke softly, full of complaints.

Ning Mu couldn't help but chuckle.

He immediately bent down and helped Liuli up.

Liuli rolled her eyes and snuggled in his arms.
Ning Mu raised his eyebrows and gave a wicked smile.

Liuli was startled.

Her face immediately turned red, and she gave him a charming look, which satisfied his little wish.

"Satisfied, little rascal?"

"Tsk tsk, Master's charm is beyond the reach of even the immortals!"

"Bullshit, stop trying to coax me with words!"

Liuli scoffed.

But those blooming beautiful eyes still reveal the joy and excitement in her heart.

Obviously.

Even though she knew it was just coaxing, she still enjoyed it.

It's just stubbornness.

"The group of people who just passed by seemed to be the bandits from Yunxiao Village. From what they said, it seems that Yunxiao Village has colluded with the border troops of Chu State. I'm afraid that the group of military households just now came to spy on the intelligence of our border troops of Qi State, right?"

Liuli put away her excitement, frowned slightly, looked at Ning Mu, and expressed her judgment.

Ning Mu thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said, "That should be the case. Yunxiao Peak is half in Qi and half in Chu. I'm afraid it has already colluded with Chu. Well, this kind of thing is not something we should worry about. I have to think about it now. If this is true, what should we do with the hundreds of people in Ningyang Village!"

"With the nest overturned, even if we hide in this mountain, I'm afraid we won't be safe..."

After hearing Ning Mu's words, a trace of sadness appeared on Liuli's face.

She didn't even notice it herself.

I don’t know when it started, but unknowingly, the starting point for considering problems is no longer the same as before.

Instead, they put Ning Mu at the center, or included him in their considerations...

"Don't think about it for now, let's go back, it's getting late!"

"it is good!"

Liuli nodded.

Then the two of them jumped down from the tree which was about 20 to 20 feet high and rushed towards the mountain village.

In the village.

Under Tong Yuyue's arrangement, five hundred roosters, realgar wine, lime, etc. were all prepared.

The roosters were kept in groups of three or five, scattered around the village.

The main hall and the backyard were all covered with lime and realgar wine.

The cost is not small.

As the third in command of the warehouse, Tong Yuyue was heartbroken.

I didn't do anything, and nearly a thousand taels were gone.

But the money has to be spent.

After all, it concerns the life and property of my husband!

in the hall.

Ning Mu sat high on a big chair.

Below the steps were the leaders of the mountain stronghold, led by Liu Qingmei, reporting on matters.

The first to report was Huang Yutang.

"Boss, the land in the back mountain has been basically reclaimed. Currently, 50 acres of land have been reclaimed. On average, there is one acre of land for every ten people in the village. Later, we can reclaim another 100 acres of land in the direction of Xiaocang Mountain!"

Huang Yutang temporarily took on the responsibility of reclaiming the land.

Fifty acres of land is a little less, but it’s just the beginning after all.

Ning Mu nodded to show that he understood.

Next is Huang Yutang’s wife, A Diao.

A Diao had long been accustomed to life in the village. Since Ning Mu was not too arrogant, the warm and peaceful atmosphere made her no longer nervous.

"Boss, all the bosses, the waterwheel designed by the boss is now flowing, and can meet the daily drinking and irrigation needs of the whole village. However, we need to find a way to divert the water from Xiaocang Mountain. My initial idea is to dig a ditch. What do you think, boss?"

Ning Mu nodded and said, "We can inspect it first. If it is suitable, we can arrange some manpower and start the construction of the ditch."

"Okay!" Ah Diao nodded and continued, "Also, I have distributed all the corn seeds that Second Master gave me earlier. They will all be planted in about three to five days. As for potatoes, I have also started to arrange for people to plant them!"

As feedback after completing the previous task, Ning Mu gave Liu Qingmei two thousand kilograms of potatoes. He gave them to Liu Qingmei in the form of a task and asked her to extract them and arrange for their planting.

"..."

After A Diao finished his report, the action team, patrol team, training team, etc. all reported one by one.

Next, Ning Mu made some new personnel adjustments.

Develop towards formalization and set up various halls.

Liu Qingmei is the second in command. She is in charge of all matters in the village, makes all the rules, and is in charge of the auditorium.

Tong Yuyue is the third in command, responsible for the public treasury, accounting, intelligence gathering, etc., and is also the head of the criminal court.

Huang Yutang is the head of the martial arts hall, under which he is responsible for the action team, the mountain patrol team, the village protection team, etc. Fifty people with good qualifications are selected from the villagers to join the martial arts hall, and are incorporated into various teams for daily training.

The captain of the action team, Zhou Nanbiao, is mainly responsible for road robbery.

Wang Dalong, captain of the forest patrol team, is responsible for patrolling.

An Xiaoxi, the captain of the village protection team, is responsible for protecting the safety of the village.

A Diao is the head of the farm hall and is responsible for all farm affairs.

After everything is arranged.

Tong Yuyue stepped forward and said, "My husband, in the past few days, various families in the village have sent visiting cards one after another. Most of them want to make friends with me. I guess it's because my sister is famous that they want to curry favor with her."

While speaking, Tong Yuyue glanced at Liu Qingmei.

After all, she used to be the wife of the owner of Cangjian Villa and had some fame in the martial arts world. It would be a waste of her talent to use her to intimidate bandits.

Ning Mu hasn't spoken yet.

Tong Yuyue continued, "But this evening, Yunxiao Village sent us a note saying that their young leader Wu Yuxiao and the third leader Wu Tingyang will come to visit us in person in the next two days. One is to investigate the death of their sixth leader, and the other is to discuss with us about our settlement!"

"Yunxiao Village has bad intentions!"

Ning Mu was startled, and then asked: "Do we need to negotiate with them to build our village?"

"According to the rules of previous years, this is it!" Tong Yuyue nodded solemnly.

"Yunxiao Village controls three mountains and four ridges. It is the most powerful village in Xima Mountain. There are 800 warriors in the village, and the total population should be 5,000 to 6,000. It is no problem compared to some martial arts sects. In the past few decades, their rules are the rules of Xima Mountain. Anyone who dares to disobey will have no room for survival!"

"Because they are wary of my sister's strength, they only said in the letter that they want to negotiate, which is actually very considerate of me!"

"Everything was peaceful during this period. I guess it was because Grandpa Gu went up the mountain and Old Wu died that they had to come forward. Otherwise, the prestige they have built up over a long period of time will be gone!"

Ning Mu couldn't help but smile.

"If they are coming, let them come. If there are too many lice, they won't be afraid of itching."

Ning Mu shrugged, fearless.

joke.

A martial arts master and a half-step god, do you really think they are just decorations?

In fact, these are just small things.

What Ning Mu is most worried about now is whether Qi and Chu will go to war.

If the group of people we saw in the evening were really Chu State's spies on military intelligence, we might have to make other plans!
If the two countries go to war, the current Ningyang Village is still too small. Under the overwhelming force, it is not even an ant in the cracks!
Ning Mu did not reveal this matter to anyone else.

The more people know, the greater the panic will be.

As the disaster spreads, I’m afraid that most of the victims who followed here will run away!

It's just right. I can wait until the people from Yunxiao Village come over to find out what's going on.

correct.

Wasn’t Wei Youqing the instructor and chief academic officer at the Jixia Academy?

With her status, she should be able to get in touch with the core of Qi's officialdom, and perhaps I could hear some news from her.

Ning Mu rested his elbow on the armrest and supported his chin in deep thought.

Wait until Huang Yutang and others leave.

Only Liu Qingmei and Tong Yuyue were left in the hall.

Liu Qingmei walked forward, sat on the chair, and took Ning Mu into her arms, letting his head rest on the proud Ye Yin baby food, gently kneading his temples, and asked softly: "What are you worried about, husband?"

Tong Yuyue also looked at him intently.

Ning Mu waved to Tong Yuyue.

Tong Yuyue walked forward, squatted under the chair, and leaned on Ning Mu's legs.

Ning Mu put his hand into her arms.

"Yunxiao Village may have colluded with the border troops of Chu. My nun and I saw it this afternoon. Will Qi and Chu go to war?"
