Chapter 188 Murphy's Life Experience

Murphy turned around and walked out, and Shao Shuhuan could only send him out. Murphy gave him the impression that he was gentle and elegant. Although he had the majesty of an emperor, he was rarely angry. But today, it made him shocked. From Wu Junzhuo's mouth, he had known for a long time that Mo Wu and Mo Yuan were not Murphy's biological sons, but they were just like him, but now they have given up because of a word, which finally seemed a little cruel and ruthless.

"Shuhuan!" Seeing him following him, Murphy stood up and ordered the little eunuch who was following him to retreat, saying, "Do you think I am ruthless?"

Shao Shuhuan didn’t answer, was he ruthless?

"As a superior, ruthlessness is sometimes necessary." Murphy said seriously, "Shuhuan, you must remember that there are some things that you must never act emotionally."

"Your Majesty, I am not the superior one!" Shao Shuhuan said.

"No one can protect you for the rest of your life." Murphy said in a deep voice, "You have to think about the embarrassment of your identity in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the future, whether it is the prince or the second prince, can they tolerate you?"

Shao Shuhuan was silent. He thought about this question more than once again and again. He also made efforts and took it, and worked hard to please Emperor Zhou in exchange for a trip to Yangzhou in Jiangnan. He just wanted to gain some political achievements and cultivate his own team. However, Shao She played this trick and sent him to Nanxia and became a prisoner.

"Your mother is my real sister!" Murphy said suddenly.

"What?" Shao Shuhuan was stunned. His mother was not a girl from the Shao family? How could it be his real sister?

"Things back then were very complicated..." Murphy frowned, "I don't know where to start..."

Shao Shuhuan pointed to the pavilion in the lake in front and whispered: "If Your Majesty wants, Shuhuan is willing to hear the truth."

"Okay. Come with me!" Murphy nodded.

The two sat down in the pavilion. Murphy then said, "Your mother's surname is Mo. We are all disciples of Xuanji Cave..."

"Xuan Ji Cave?" Shao Shuhuan was stunned for a while. Does this illusory place really exist?

Murphy nodded and said, "Have you ever told you about Xuanji Cave?"

"No!" Shao Shuhuan shook his head and said, "How could he tell me this?"

"It's true. I've always been suspicious. I think I won't tell you these things." Murphy nodded. "Xuanji Cave was divided into two branches. A hundred years ago, I had been fighting for orthodoxy. In the end, the Mo family lost."

Shao Shuhuan was puzzled, and just looked at him. The Xuanji Cave was divided into two branches?

"This matter starts with the origin of Xuanji Cave----" Murphy said, "If you don't feel bored, I'll talk to you slowly."

Shao Shuhuan smiled and said, "I wish to hear it carefully!"

"Three hundred years ago, when the Great Yin Empire was at its peak, an emperor who didn't like to be an emperor was born. He only wanted to practice the art of immortality and believed in the theory of elixirs and cauldrons. So he summoned all local scholars in the world and started his journey of immortal medicine. But this emperor was mediocre in national politics, so he could not be considered a genius..." Murphy sighed.

"Yin Mo?" Shao Shuhuan suddenly remembered some of the records he had read when he was reading, and not only exclaimed.

"Yes, it's Yin Mo, he is the founder of Xuanji Cave and the designer of Qingyao City." Murphy pointed to the lake and mountains in Qingyao City and sighed. "Look, these ingenious garden designs are all from his work."

Shao Shuhuan nodded. He had long appreciated the design of Qingyao City and the beauty of the garden, and naturally admired it. This was not something that money could do.

Murphy pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "I don't know much about the specific process. I only know that in addition to building Xuanji Cave, he also created Hongtong Money House..."

"What?" Shao Shuhuan exclaimed, "Hongtong Money House is also from Xuanji Cave?"

"Yeah!" Murphy nodded, "The ancestor was also kind-hearted at the beginning. It felt that it was inconvenient for businessmen to use cash bank to do business. Moreover, cash bank was inconvenient in all circulation links, especially large amounts of money entering and leaving the land. It greatly restricted the development. So he embezzled the treasury silver as the starting capital and invested it in Hongtong Money House--he didn't want the people to know that Hongtong Money House was his foundation and a state-owned system, and his original intention was only to facilitate the people..."

When Shao Shuhuan heard this, he knew that something was wrong. How much does it cost to create a money house? His Majesty Yin Mo probably spent the national treasury?

"You should guess the ending?" Murphy sighed.

"I read the book and said that Your Majesty Yin Mo died among the rebels?" Shao Shuhuan frowned. The book said that he was so disrespectful about His Majesty Yin Mo, saying that he was debauchery and shameless, levying undue taxes, which led to the displacement of the people. Finally, a riot occurred. He himself died among the rebellious army. Then, one of his cousins ​​from a distant place grabbed the regime, and the Yin Kingdom had to continue.

"He was not dead at that time because he believed in alchemists. Among those alchemists, there were some supernatural beings, so he carried him out in the chaos. Everyone was chased by them. In desperation, they had to buy a boat to go out to sea and live on a small island--this developed into the later Xuanji Cave." Murphy said.

"Then why did the Xuanji Cave be divided into two more branches later?" Shao Shuhuan asked in confusion.

"Although Yin Mo lost the throne, Hongtong Money House is still under his control. Among the alchemists, there are naturally geniuses. After years of operation, Hongtong Money House has become a model, a representative, and more of a symbol of wealth. Therefore, some people are unwilling to be trapped in the isolated island, while others oppose that Yin Mo had already passed away at that time, so naturally they could not control these." Murphy said again.

Shao Shuhuan smiled. If there are interests, there will naturally be disputes. This is inevitable. Who is not moved by guarding a large sum of money?

"There was an internal strife in Xuanji Cave. Dugu snatched a large number of treasures and martial arts secret skills in Xuanji Cave. The Mo family snatched the Hongtong Money House..." Murphy sighed and stopped talking. In fact, he could hear the specific story. What exactly is the grudge between the Mo family and the Dugu family, plus the various things between the former Southern Yin and the Great Zhou Kingdom, he didn't know much about it.

"What about later?" Shao Shuhuan asked.

"Later----" Murphy smiled, "then we have to start with my life experience..."

"Do you have a life experience?" Shao Shuhuan was puzzled. It is said that he was born in a wild place. Is there another reason for him?

Sure enough, Murphy said: "My original surname is Mu, and I am the descendant of the famous family in the former Southern Yin..."

"Mu..." Shao Shuhuan lowered his head. He had heard that the Mu family was sentenced to the crime of extermination of nine clans by the former Emperor of Southern Yin. What is the specific crime? Many books are vague.

"My father offended His Majesty the Emperor of Southern Yin and was executed. On the night of the house search, my father asked me to escape alone. I couldn't bear to leave my five-year-old sister, and carried her on her back and crawled out of the dog cave, heading north, trying to escape to Northern Zhou..." Murphy stared at Qinghe in the water and said lightly.

"How old are you older than Ling Mei?" Shao Shuhuan asked.

"Three years older!" Murphy smiled, "What are you asking for?"

"Nothing!" Shao Shuhuan shook his head. He was only three years older than Shu Bao. In other words, when he fled, he was only eight years old. He was indeed a talented person who survived the disaster and had endless blessings.

"Anyway, it was when I was almost arrested. My master saved my sister and I and took us as successors..." Murphy said. "After thirteen years, we were successful in juvenile. After my master passed away, we changed our surname to Mo and came to Nanyin to pass through the capital. My sister was extremely beautiful. Maybe it was a sin. She was actually seen by a court painter. She drew a portrait and gave it to Yinpu, the emperor of the Southern Yin Kingdom. When he saw it, he was shocked and ordered people to invite my sister to the palace. My sister wanted to take revenge and pretended to flatter her, but she said that she was filial and was inconvenient to get married. It would take two years to become successful. Yinpu actually agreed and let my sister live in Qingyao City...

At that time, the political affairs of the Southern Yin Kingdom were **. Yin Pu was even more convinced of treacherous ministers. After being obsessed with my sister, he could also reuse me and grant me the general to fight for him in the north.

I thought at that time that I had established some prestige in the army and were planning revenge, but unexpectedly... People's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, or I never expected that there would be people like Ji Ming in the world."

When Murphy said this, he sighed unrelentingly. When he faced Ji Ming, he no longer had a playful attitude, and his desire to win suddenly arises.

Shao Shuhuan didn't say anything, waiting for his underground text. Sure enough, after a pause, Murphy continued, "Although I was in the army for a short time, all the generals listened to me, and the generals in the army were dissatisfied with Yinpu for a long time. So, in the battle of Heishui, I learned that my sister was taken away by King An, and I was so anxious that I would not listen to Yinpu's imperial edicts anymore. I just thought about how to save my sister, but the soldiers were disabled and the food supply was not enough. How easy was it to fight again?

Back then, Ling Zun came to my camp alone and persuaded me to rebel, kill the Emperor of Southern Yin, and become king. A year later, he would try to return my sister."

"Did you agree?" Shao Shuhuan asked. Outsiders didn't know what Shao She and Murphy were talking about. Now Shao Shuhuan understands that only Shao She can do such a thing to persuade people to rebel.

"Even if I really do something, I may not be able to beat Ji Ming!" Murphy sighed, "If you don't agree, you have to agree. Besides, once Yinpu's imperial edict is released and I will deprive me of military power, everything will be over. I have no other way except to agree. Besides, Yinpu and I have a grudge against each other, so let's go back!" Murphy said lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Murphy turned around, looked at Shao Shuhuan and smiled, "I thought about it myself, and it felt like a dream. I took all the soldiers back to Chang'an City. I killed Yinpu and almost killed all the children of the Yin royal family. However, Yinpu left behind a prince, who was less than one year old. If I don't mess with it, I will say that it was an orphan of a veteran, who has been raised to this day..."

"Mo Yuan?" Shao Shuhuan exclaimed, raising his enemy's son by his side for many years... No wonder he has a madman nickname.
