Chapter 020 The Storm is Coming
The news about Tiemuzhuang was quickly spread to the Mu family compound, and the journey was smooth and we soon arrived at the Mu family.
However, before that, in the core area of the Mu family, in Mu Baiyun's secret room, the old man wearing dark housekeeper's clothes had been waiting for Mu Baiyun for a long time.
"Master, I'm back." After seeing Mu Baiyun sit down and signaling him slightly, the old housekeeper lowered his body and said respectfully.
Mu Baiyun nodded gently, stopped, then squinted his eyes and looked at his old housekeeper, spoke slowly, and asked, "You are back! How about you?"
Hearing the master's question, the old man lowered his head again and replied: "Yes, everything is fine, just as the master ordered, it is very clean."
"Well..." Mu Baiyun breathed a long sigh, without saying anything, closed his eyes, leaned on the Taishi chair behind him, and did nothing.
Mu Baiyun didn't ask too much. After years of getting along, he trusted the old housekeeper very much and understood his ability, so he didn't say much.
And the old housekeeper was still bowing his head and bent down, quietly waiting for his master.
The secret room became quiet again, and only the sound of breathing and heartbeat were left.
The silence continued, and after a while, it continued until Mu Baiyun opened his eyes again.
As if he felt that the plan was fine, Mu Baiyun let out a long sigh, smiled, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go ahead."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the old butler stood up, said nothing, asked nothing, and went out directly.
Soon, Mu Baiyun was left in this secret room. However, there was still no joy on his face, only deep thoughts.
The news about Tiemuzhuang soon came to the Mu family, but was just conveyed to the upper house as a normal thing.
It was not until a manager who had experienced the affairs of the hall that night, saw Mu Li's news and frowned that the news was quickly taken seriously.
If you encounter such a thing a few days ago, you will naturally be able to do whatever you want. After all, the impact of such things is limited.
However, when the eldest lady of Hanxing Sect broke off the engagement and expressed her desire to make up for Mu Xiaoyu, and the compensation from Hanxing Sect to the Mu family was obtained.
Mu Xiaoyu's was valued by everyone, and she was at a time when she didn't know whether she should be alienated or close to her.
I think everyone has known the relationship between Mu Li and Mu Xiaoyu’s younger brother.
Now, before Miss Hanxing Sect left, Mu Xiaoyu's younger brother, whom Mu Xiaoyu valued, encountered such a thing, which caused headaches for all the elders of the Mu family.
Therefore, once you understand that something is not good, the manager will report it as quickly as possible. At the same time, he also conveyed the news to Mu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Qingxin.
So, when some elders who had arrived after hearing the news had not sat down, the door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open, which shocked everyone.
The door opened, revealing a beautiful figure, which was Mu Xiaoyu.
At this time, her face was gloomy, and there were thin beads of sweat on her forehead, and her clothes were a little scattered because of running with all their might.
On the side, two late-stage young people who were originally responsible for guarding the gate were covering their stomachs with pain and looking at her with some fear.
Feeling the murderous aura on Mu Xiaoyu's body, an elder immediately scolded: "Mu Xiaoyu, I'm so brave, I don't even look at where this place is."
Facing the stern gaze of the elder who had a cultivation level of up to the Tianling Stage, Mu Xiaoyu stared calmly without any waves at all, with no waves in her calm eyes. She just took a few deep breaths and suppressed her anxious mood.
"Mu Xiaoyu is concerned about the situation of his brother and is in a hurry. I hope all elders will forgive me. If there is any punishment, when I save my brother, Mu Xiaoyu will bear it and have no complaints." Mo Xiaoyu, who was originally powerful, knelt heavily in front of everyone, lowered her head, and begged with a very respectful attitude.
"You..." The elder who scolded him before was also a little irritable. He looked at the girl who still didn't plan to quit, and was thinking about saying something else.
However, it was interrupted by Mu Baiyun beside him. As one of the five largest rulers of the Mu family, the elder had to swallow the words he said.
"When you encounter such a thing, it is natural for you to do this, so you won't blame you anymore." Mu Baiyun looked at Mu Xiaoyu carefully before speaking like this.
The people next to him all knew about Mu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Qingxin in advance, so they naturally did not want to cause trouble and expressed their indifferentness.
"Okay, stand aside and don't interrupt." Mu Baiyun saw that everyone had no objection, pointed at the side casually and said to Mu Xiaoyu.
"Thank you, Elder." Mu Xiaoyu said simply but respectfully, and then she stood quietly aside without any anxiety.
This action made Mu Baiyun frown indecisively, and he looked at the girl more deeply, but didn't say anything else.
"Okay, the children who were trained in Tiemuzhuang this time were suddenly persecuted by bandits. Four fled back and were injured, and one of them was even more unknown. We must not let go of our Mu family so despise us." Mu Baiyun said sternly.
As the person who came here, the most powerful person, and his words were righteous, no one opposed his words and agreed with them.
After scanning the crowd, they saw that no one objected, Mu Baiyun said again: "Since no one has any objections, time is tight, I will issue an order directly."
After saying that, Mu Baiyun stood up and said with great might: "This time we must save the Mu family's children, but also catch the bandits. Therefore, with my Mu Baiyun's rights, we mobilize a team of Earth Spirit Period guards and follow my butler to go with me."
As soon as Mu Baiyun said this, the people who were sitting were moved. Most of the guards of the Mu family were in the spiritual sect period, and there were very few spiritual people in the Earth Spirit sect period. They were all the family's fundamental power and they would not use it easily.
"With such a lineup, and Brother Baiyun's old housekeeper is in the late stage of the Earth Spirit Stage, I think there is no problem, so I can solve this problem successfully." An elder next to Mu Baiyun nodded after hearing Mu Baiyun's arrangement.
The others naturally spoke up and agreed. Mu Baiyun was also smiling on his face, and no one was really interested in those children who were unknown.
"Elder Baiyun, my brother is missing. I want to join the team, so please allow the elder." Amid these praises, a cold and respectful voice sounded a little harshly.
Many people were displeased when Mu Xiaoyu suddenly interrupted. If they had to blame him in the past, but now they have to take some care of it, but they have to endure it.
Mu Baiyun turned his head and looked at Mu Xiaoyu who was very respectful, as if he didn't care about her behavior at all. He smiled and nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. I will allow you to go with me. My housekeeper will protect you."
After saying that, Mu Baiyun nodded to the old housekeeper who had been following him all the time, and introduced him to Mu Xiaoyu.
"I will take good care of Miss Xiaoyu." The old man lowered his body and said slightly, as if he had accepted the order.
"Thank you, Elder Xiaoyu." Mu Xiaoyu looked at the old housekeeper and thanked Mu Baiyun.
Mu Baiyun's order was quickly issued, and the five elite guards of the Mu family from the Earth Spirit stage soon waited quietly outside.
Mu Baiyun was also a decisive person and immediately said, "Your mission is to follow Mu Xiaoyu and the old housekeeper to protect their safety, and at the same time capture those bold people and save my Mu family's children."
Time is urgent, not only Mu Xiaoyu is anxious, but Mu Baiyun is also constantly calculating and issuing orders quickly under his calm face.
"Yes, we will receive the order." The five earth spirit spirits immediately knelt down and received the order, taking decisive actions without any unnecessary actions.
As one of the few powerful guards of the Mu family, there are not many such squads, and few people can directly order them. Therefore, every time they use it is a big deal. This time, in the eyes of others, it also means that Mu Baiyun wants to intimidate other forces.
After receiving Mu Baiyun's order, Mu Xiaoyu could no longer bear the anxiety. She stepped out of the hall first and jumped directly onto the horse that had been prepared.
"Old butler, let's go now." Mu Xiaoyu said calmly and coldly as he looked at the guard who was ready to set off at any time and the old butler who had no movement.
"Okay...Okay... Let's come now." The old man said calmly, and took a little slowly and walked towards the horse.
Although the old man looked a little slow and powerless, after a few words, he had already jumped onto a horse, which was faster than before Mu Xiaoyu.
"Miss Xiaoyu, it's almost raining, you have to be careful." The old man got on the horse, looked at the sky, and said responsibly.
When Mu Xiaoyu heard this, she also looked at the gloomy sky and said in a low tone: "Yes! It's going to rain, so you need to pay more attention to your health."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu ran out first and started to set off with everyone.
At this moment, the old man was slightly closed, but his somewhat turbid eyes suddenly opened, as if he had seen something unexpected.
That was the moment when Mu Xiaoyu pulled the horse and turned around. The girl's eyes, which were originally as quiet as autumn water, suddenly turned into two lightning bolts. Even the old man who had seen decades of ups and downs could not help but be stunned for a moment.
Looking at the back of Mu Xiaoyu who was leading the way, the old housekeeper used a voice that only he could hear and said to himself: "Mu Li...Mu Xiaoyu... What a Mu Li and Mu Xiaoyu. It's a pity... It's a pity but it's not the master's child... It's a pity but no one is my young master."
As the sky became darker, the old man's eyes became turbid again, and he followed Mu Xiaoyu and others quietly, just looking at the girl's back from time to time.
I just don’t know whether the old man was saying something after thinking about it or was sighing in his heart.
