Chapter 12: I want to be a door-to-door son-in-law
Mu Cong's face was hard to see to the extreme, his eyes looked at Tao Yao's back with a little cruelty, and after a while, he adjusted his posture, looked at Mu Zigui with a bit of meaning in his expression, and chuckled: "The father's holy decree has not been issued yet, and the little emperor uncle is inevitably too anxious." ”
Mu Zigui's eyes narrowed slightly: "You are qualified to fight with me?"
Looking at Mu Zigui's nervous appearance, Mu Cong's mood became even better.
He is the eldest son of the current emperor, and he has known his identity since he was a child, so no matter how serious he is, he hopes to become the best prince of his father.
But no matter how hard he tried, Mu Zigui was like a mountain, weighing heavily on his head.
For so many years, he has been looking for Mu Zigui's weakness, looking for an opportunity to hit Mu Zigui with one blow.
Now, I finally found him.
This time, it's just Mu Zigui's luck.
Mu Cong believes that in the future, he will still have many opportunities to let Mu Zigui know whose court this court belongs to.
Mu Cong took a step forward, looked at Mu Zigui with burning eyes, and said seriously: "My father is a good emperor who is wise and martial, but don't forget it, Uncle Xiaohuang doesn't forget that my father also has a common problem that ordinary emperors have, that is, ...... Suspicious. ”
Mu Zigui's pupils shrank fiercely, and at this moment, a little uneasiness slowly spread in Mu Zigui's heart.
Sure enough, I heard Mu Cong smile heartily: "The king of the northwest is on one side and has 100,000 troops. Uncle Xiao Huang is a general on the horse, with 100,000 mercenaries. In the hands of Uncle Xiao Huang and the King of the Northwest, they control half of the forces of the imperial court. Does Uncle Xiao Huang think that your father will allow you to marry and give half of the country to Uncle Xiao Huang for nothing?"
Mu Zigui's face turned cold, the current emperor is his eldest brother-in-law, a compatriot, he naturally knows his suspicion and coldness.
It was at this time that he suddenly understood why Tao Yao had come to the capital these days, and the emperor had not given him a marriage.
Now it seems that this is a jealous heart.
Mu Cong's mood seemed to be very good, and his speech became more and more presumptuous: "Uncle Xiaohuang, it's time for me to take a look, in your heart, is it more important whether your military power is important, or whether it is a little girl like Tao Yao." ”
Mu Zigui glanced at Mu Cong with the eyes of a caring fool: "Xiao Xiao is not just a little woman. She is the one whom this king protects with all his heart. ”
"Tut-tut, that's really touching. Who will the father and emperor give the only daughter of the king of the northwest to marry, we will wait and see. ”
After Mu Cong finished speaking, he turned over his horse and walked away, and Mu Cong's arrogant laughter echoed in the woods, like a sharp arrow, piercing Mu Cong's heart fiercely.
It's just that Mu Zigui didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, he saw Tao Yao standing behind him, frowning, as if he was very anxious about what Mu Zigui said before.
"Don't worry. ”
Mu Zigui thought that he would have a lot of things to say to Tao Yao, but in the end, what he said was only these pale words.
The corners of Tao Yao's lips showed a faint smile, and he tilted his head, his eyebrows contained a galaxy: "I believe in Zigui." ”
A few simple words made Mu Zigui's heart rise with infinite pride, and he had an illusion in his heart, even if he wanted the stars in the sky, he was afraid that he would not have any hesitation, and would definitely pick it off for her with his own hands.
When Mu Zigui turned around to arrange things, Tao Yao's face became serious.
What Mu Cong said, how could Tao Yao rest assured.
In his previous life, when Tao Yao only had Mu Cong in his heart, Mu Cong was not worried about Mu Zigui, and in the court and the people, they all wantonly spread Mu Zigui's self-respect for the army, and his achievements were high, which aroused the emperor's jealousy and took the opportunity to be robbed of military power.
At that time, Tao Yao was too young and didn't know how Mu Cong did it.
Now that I think about it, it's really at a loss.
Although Tao Yao's awakening made things different from his previous life, Tao Yao's heart still rose with a touch of weakness.
"What's wrong with you?
Mu Zigui stood in front of Tao Yao, his brows furrowed, looking at this little woman, he threw himself into his arms with a panicked expression, and said in a low voice: "Zigui, in my heart, I am a little worried. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable. You ......"
"It doesn't matter, no one can separate us. ”
Mu Zigui's eyes were extremely firm, in the past, he didn't know her intentions, so Mu Zigui was a little restrained in doing things, but now, since he knows Tao Yao's intentions, he naturally has to do his best to fight for it.
Tao Yao was dumbfounded, she was worried about Mu Zigui's safety.
But Mu Zigui was worried about the marriage of the two.
Looking at his confident appearance, Tao Yao's heart suddenly became less worried, it seemed that as long as Mu Zigui was there, everything could be solved.
Thinking back to Mu Zigui in his previous life, he can always survive in a desperate situation, and he can always find the most suitable way to survive in the cracks.
Thinking of the last scene in his previous life, Tao Yao suddenly became anxious, and reached out to hold Mu Zigui's arm: "Zigui, promise me one thing." ”
Mu Zigui lowered his head and smiled dotingly: "Huh?"
"Promise me not to hand over your military power, no matter when, where, or whatever happens, okay?"
Tao Yao's eagerness made Mu Zigui stunned for a moment.
He didn't know why Tao Yao suddenly said this to himself, and he always felt that Tao Yao was a little weird today.
Tao Yao shook Mu Zigui's arm slightly, and his voice softened a little: "Okay, promise me, can you?"
As if sensing Mu Zigui's doubts, Tao Yao sighed in his heart and lowered his voice: "My father often said that for the generals who lead the troops, the military power in our hands is our armor and our fangs. Without these, you're a toothless tiger, and you're left to be slaughtered, aren't you?"
Mu Zigui was instantly relieved: she was the only daughter of the king of the northwest, and it was natural for her to understand some things in the court.
Raising his hand, he gently rubbed Tao Yao's hair, nodded seriously and promised, "Don't worry." ”
Looking at Tao Yao's frowning brows, Mu Zigui only felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if this king loses his military power, no one can stop us from being together." The worst thing is to go to the northwest and seek the refuge of the old man. What do you think?"
Tao Yao looked at Mu Zigui dumbfounded, only to feel that today is really a new Mu Zigui.
She never knew that Mu Zigui would have such a thick-skinned day, and she wanted to go to the northwest to be a son-in-law.
But if that were the case, her father would be pleased.
It's just that if that's the case, it's too unfair for him.
His military exploits, his status, are not only because he is the youngest son of the first emperor.
The tragedy of her previous life, she must do her best to reverse it.
On the way back to the city, Tao Yao kept reminding Mu Zigui, asking him to pay attention to Mu Cong's despicable villain, and let Mu Zigui beware of Mu Cong spreading rumors that were unfavorable to him.
Today's Mu Zigui is in a very good mood, no matter what Tao Yao says, he agrees with a smile.
But Tao Yao knew that Mu Zigui didn't take it to heart at all.
A straight man like him has always believed in the words: those who are pure are self-turbid, and those who are upright are not afraid of shadows.
Before arriving in the capital, Tao Yao didn't want to talk to Mu Zigui anymore.
There is a feeling that a hot face is attached to a cold ass.
