Chapter 14
The capital is currently in chaos. Last year, Feng Yuxiang led his troops to garrison in Nanyuan, Beijing, and joined forces with the commander of the Shaanxi Army's temporary 1st Division, Hu Jingyi, and Sun Yue, commander of the 15th Brigade. Under the promotion of Sun Yat-sen, he waited for an opportunity to overthrow the Beiyang government controlled by Cao Kun and Wu Peifu. This year, Feng Yuxiang's activities are more frequent, and a coup is about to be staged.
However, the people in the capital still live a three-day meal. The change of the Chinese political revolver seems to have no interest in them. The same is true for the Mu family. Mu Yaping began to accumulate his strength, and it was difficult to start, which was undoubtedly a matter of this. As for whether his dreamy plan could be realized, it is still a "mirage" in his current state.
In the middle of the night, Xiangyun was awakened by a nightmare. She saw Mu Heping still lying on the bed with his clothes and huddled into a ball, and the quilt on his body was kicked aside. Since the wedding night, the couple had been sleeping separately, and Xiangyun had been sleeping on the sofa. She got up and walked to the bed, covered Heping with a quilt, and sighed a long time.
Analyzing Heping's inner world, it is related to the fact that he and Xiangyun have been "children" since childhood. Xiangyun and Anxiang have been good since childhood. Due to classmates and family, Xiangyun often comes to Mu's house to play. Frankly speaking, Heping and Xiangyun are too familiar with each other. Now they have become husband and wife by chance, which makes Heping feel a gap in his heart. Xiangyun's beauty, character, and talent can be said to be impeccable. The key is that Xiangyun has been "high" since childhood, and he believes that Xiangyun is not the woman he should have.
The memories of the past are difficult to erase. Because Xiangyun is smart and studious, and well-educated, Heping often became the object of mocking Xiangyun and Anxiang when he was playing in childhood, he left a shadow in Heping's psychology. Generally speaking, a man faces a woman who is better than him, out of self-esteem and inferiority complex, it is not difficult to understand the imbalance of his mentality.
Mu Heping knew very well that Xiangyun could agree to marry him because he was devoted entirely to saving his elder brother, which made her unable to accept it from the beginning. Although he and Xiangyun performed well on the surface, that was for their parents and others to see. Mu Heping's further depravity, looking for a little comfort in the Fireworks Alley, was completely related to this.
This phenomenon also reflects the collisions caused by traditional morality, feudal ethics, new ideas and new concepts of young people in this era. The loss of spiritual beliefs and the rebellion of self-worth have become the inherent mentality of many young people. Perhaps it is this fierce collision that has caused some people to rise and fall, and some people to rise up one after another, creating a brilliant life trajectory.
Xiangyun and He Ping's thoughts were exactly the opposite. For Mu Yaping's death, she believed that the true love she had given was the will of God and her destiny should be like this. Although she felt a little sour when she saw the loving couple on weekdays, she could control herself and occasionally showed a trace of feelings.
When Heping got up in the morning, he didn't go to have breakfast. He kept sitting in front of the bed and was conscious. When Xiangyun came back, he saw that Heping's face was still a little blue. She guessed that Heping was probably discovered by his parents and did not go to eat. She asked the maid to bring the food to the room, but Heping didn't say a word, but got up and walked out of the room.
At the door, He Ping saw his elder brother standing in front of the door from afar. He felt nervous and the scene of last night appeared in front of him. Sitting in the car, He Ping secretly observed his elder brother's expression, as if he had a sense of strangeness. Through the elder brother's fist and kicking at him last night, he felt deeply afraid of his elder brother who had always loved him. Frankly speaking, He Ping's parents' spoiled him since childhood and had never suffered such a blow. Now his elder brother's face changes put him on the verge of collapse.
Along the way, the elder brother didn't say a word, and he didn't even look at him, and he didn't dare to ask. This kind of torture in his heart was unbearable. The two brothers took the car and turned out of the alley, and a rickshaw appeared behind him. A big man sitting in the car told the coachman to follow the rickshaw in front and see where they were going.
The man sitting in the rickshaw in the back was Wang Debiao, the third leader of Mudanfeng. He was ordered to monitor Mu Yaping. Two days ago, Chen Zhanshan, Jiang Sen and Wang Debiao had arrived in the capital. The meticulous Jiang Sen suggested not to contact Mu Yaping first and explore his reality. The cunning Chen Zhanshan thought that his second brother made sense, so the previous scene appeared.
They arrived in the capital the night before yesterday and soon learned the exact location of Mu's mansion. Yesterday, Wang Debiao monitored Mu Yaping for one day. Mu Yaping went to Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall. Later, Mu Yaping took Mu Weiping to Mingyue Restaurant to meet Director Hu, and Mu Weiping took Director Hu's car to the Bada Hutong. He knew everything clearly.
That night, Wang Debiao told the situation he saw at the inn. Jiang Sen analyzed: "The eldest young master Mu went to a newly opened martial arts hall, which shows that the martial arts hall was related to him. Later, he contacted official figures in the restaurant, which showed that he not only did antique shop business, but also other businesses. It was not surprising to go to the Bada Hutongs, but also young masters like him were all romantic seeds."
Wang Debiao said: "I observed Rong Baozhai, but as usual, there was no change." Jiang Sen analyzed: "Young Master Mu didn't seem to mind his losses, which means he was rich and powerful. What he said when he left that day, maybe this person really wanted to make friends with us, and I think we can meet him." Chen Zhanshan said: "Third brother, you will continue to monitor him tomorrow. If you have the chance, we will visit him."
Wang Debiao followed Mu Yaping's car and arrived at the Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall. He saw Mu Yaping and a young man walking into the martial arts hall. He waited outside for an hour, but no one came out. The coachman was lying in the car and slept soundly. He couldn't help but smile. He immediately turned to the inn to report the news. He knew that the opportunity had come.
In the inn, Chen Zhanshan said, "Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall, he went to Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall again. Could it be that he opened this martial arts hall?" Jiang Sen said, "Brother, it is very likely. The Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall has only been opened for a few days, and he went there twice in two days to explain the problem. I saw that the opportunity came, so we went to Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall to visit him." Chen Zhanshan said, "Don't hesitate, let's go!"
Mu Yaping took Mu Heping into the Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall. Lu Chuanxiong heard the noise and hurriedly greeted him. Mu Heping was a little confused. He didn't know what his elder brother brought him to the martial arts hall for. Mu Yaping introduced: "Master Lu, this is Ling, this is Lu Chuanxiong, the head of the Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall." Lu Chuanxiong clasped his hands and said generously: "Have you met the Third Young Master!" Mu Yaping said: "Third brother, I opened this martial arts hall. In the future, Master Lu will be your master. You must practice martial arts here and change your bad habits. If you are disobedient, I will ask Master Lu to break your legs and tell you that I can do it when I say it."
Mu Heping was so scared that he looked at Lu Chuanxiong's tough body and nodded mechanically. He had no intention of resisting at all, except fear. Mu Yaping said again: "I will make three rules for you. First, Master Lu can fully exercise the right to punish you. Second, you are not allowed to leave the martial arts hall for no reason. Third, the military officer comes to the military service on time every day and comes home on time. You are not allowed to tell the situation here. Do you understand?" Mu Heping nodded mechanically again.
Seeing Lu Chuanxiong's face showing a look of distress, Mu Yaping signaled him to enter the house. Walking into the house, Mu Yaping said, "Master Lu, I know you are in a dilemma. After all, Heping is my brother. But my brother is infected with bad habits and does nothing all day long. If I don't discipline him, it will be abolished. Master Lu, I'll ask you, discipline him hard for me, so that he can cultivate himself, cultivate his character, and strengthen his body."
Lu Chuanxiong said: "Since the eldest young master trusts me so much, just hand over the third young master to me! I won't let you down." Mu Yaping said: "You must let this kid suffer all the hardships. You must not have any sympathy. Just like you usually ask your disciples." Lu Chuanxiong nodded and walked out.
Mu Yaping saw Lu Chuanxiong say a few words to his third brother who was still confused while standing in the yard, then reached out and picked up Mu Heping's collar and walked towards the backyard. At this time, Lu Chuanxiong's eldest daughter Lu Yue walked in, put tea on Mu Yaping, and then went out obediently. Mu Yaping was deeply touched. The child was so sensible at such a young age. It was really a poor child who had been a family!
Mu Yaping drank tea and his thoughts couldn't help but turn to arms trading. Director Hu told him that he would soon meet with German arms dealers, and how to negotiate business depends on his ability. Last night, he thought about it for half a night, and finally got a glimpse of the money issue. His eyes were aimed at a heavyweight figure. However, the downstream buyer of arms made him clueless.
Now that the warlords are fighting, you come and I will appear after the singing. Logically speaking, the arms business should be very easy to do, but Mu Yaping has no foundation at all and does not dare to do business with the warlords at all. In the end, he will lose all his money and then spend his life in it. Then he is a big fool in the sky. The key is that downstream buyers are safe and safe and have enough purchasing power, which makes him a headache.
He simply couldn't think of his eyebrows. He walked to the backyard and saw Lu Chuanxiong teaching Heping the basic moves of martial arts. He Ping stretched his hands, his palms upward, and his legs were posing as a horse. He Ping, who had never practiced martial arts, was shaking and unable to stand at this moment. Seeing Mu Yaping coming over, he fell to the ground and begged for mercy and said, "Brother, kill me,!" Mu Yaping said coldly, "If you don't want to live, just commit suicide! Master Lu gave him the knife." Mu Heping was so scared that he immediately got up from the ground. Seeing his appearance, Lu Chuanxiong told him to rest for a while before practicing.
Lu Chuanxiong explained: "Master Mu, there is a process of slowly adapting to martial arts practice. The third master's body is too thin and cannot be practiced too hard, otherwise he will not be able to bear it." At this time, Ma Laohei suddenly ran in and said: "Master, three big men came outside to ask for a meeting, saying that they had a relationship with the eldest master." Mu Yaping was a little surprised when he heard this.
After a while, three great men entered one after another, one of them came forward and said, "Young Master, it's been a long time since you've been there."
