Chapter 4 Ming Tao escapes from marriage
Chapter 4: Ming Tao escapes from marriage
Ming Tao returned to his courtyard after dinner. Although he is a prince, he does not have his own palace here. Just because he has been by Mu Kun's side since he was ten years old, practicing martial arts and the art of war. The border gate has a complex population, and with such a small child, Mu Kun naturally doesn't worry about letting him live alone. Later, when he grew up, he was already used to life in the General's Mansion, so naturally he didn't want to move out again. It was only to the east of the General's Mansion that a separate courtyard was built for him.
"Lord Wang, the little one has congratulated you!" Seeing Ming Tao come back, Xiaoluzi, who had been with him since childhood, walked over and said happily.
"What do you like kid? Why don't I know about your prince? Ming Tao looked at Xiao Luzi who bowed to the end and asked with a smile. If it is said that because of those rewards in the palace, Xiao Luzi has never said joy to him once before. Now he's really curious.
"The prince is about to get married, isn't this a happy event?" Raising his head, Xiao Luzi said puzzled.
"Why doesn't your prince know when he got married?" Ming Tao quipped again. This little path must not know where to hear the gossip, and before the matter is understood, he happily comes to ask for a reward. When did this kid become so greedy for money?
"The prince didn't receive the holy decree?" Xiao Luzi stood up, walked to Ming Tao's side, and asked.
"Fu'an said that he arranged people in Zhuyuan, and the holy decree will be received tomorrow." After Ming Tao finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Luzi, and suddenly asked seriously: "Xiao Luzi, you are honest, did you see anyone at home today?"
"The prince sees it clearly." Xiao Luzi was not only not afraid of Ming Tao's serious expression, but smiled even more happily. "It's my master in the palace who came to announce the decree today, since the master has opened, why should I, as an apprentice, go and say hello."
"So not only did you greet your master, but you also secretly inquired about the content of the holy decree!" Ming Tao looked at Xiao Luzi funny, this kid has been by his side since he was a child, and he also knew that he was just a little more curious. But this time he was a little embarrassed.
"Hey, hey! The prince sees it clearly. Xiao Luzi scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
"Alright, you go and rest!" didn't pursue Xiao Luzi's matter, Ming Tao directly sent him to rest.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Xiao Luzi knew that he had just said the wrong thing, and he didn't dare to stay in Ming Tao's room again. I went back to my room to rest.
After Xiao Luzi left, Ming Tao did not rest directly, but stood in front of the window and watched the bright moon in the distance.
Who says he doesn't have a favorite? He just didn't dare to show it. Besides, he came to this pass when he was ten years old, and rarely returned to Beijing, even if he saw that little girl, she must have forgotten him a long time ago! But now he doesn't even have a chance to say that he likes her, and he wants to marry someone else. Is this really what he wants?
Looking at the bright moon in the distance, Mingtao's heart was full of complicated feelings. Now what he wanted to do most was to escape, but when he thought of the person who cared about him and the person he cared about far away in the capital, he couldn't pay attention to it.
"Toot toot toot ......" was knocked on the door three times regularly. interrupted Ming Tao's fugue. Ming Tao walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Mu Yunfeng and the housekeeper Fu'an standing outside the door.
"Come in and talk about it!" Get out of the way, Ming Tao closed the door after the two walked in, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?"
"The silk we brought from the south has been robbed." Mu Yunfeng said in a low voice. At the founding ceremony, the emperor clearly stipulated that no official could do business privately. Therefore, even Mu Kun didn't know about the business he and Ming Tao were secretly doing. Naturally, Xiao Luzi, who has been following him, doesn't know.
"When did it happen?" Ming Tao hurriedly asked. This time, they ordered a few thousand taels of silver of silk, and if they were all lost, although it would not cause any image to their overt identity, it would be a big blow to their secret business.
"The night before yesterday." Fu'an replied uneasily. "It's all to blame on the old slave, if it weren't for the fact that the old slave wanted to save money and buy more silk, if he only took care of a small dart game, there would be no accident."
"This matter can't be all wished to you, we have been walking this road for several years, and there has never been an accident, and it is normal for Fu'an to be careless for a while." Knowing the whole story, Ming Tao was not worried. After comforting Fu'an softly, he asked, "Then what should we do now?"
"The best thing to do, of course, is for one of us to go there ourselves, but now that Father is not here, we have no excuse to leave here. Besides, it will be very dangerous if we all go to the border and no one will handle it. Mu Yunfeng said embarrassedly.
He didn't care about a few thousand taels of silver, what he cared about was the credibility they had built up over the years. If this batch of silk is not delivered to the traders at the border gates as scheduled, then the future business will not be good.
"I'll go check on the situation." There is no better way, Ming Tao can only go out himself. It just so happened that he didn't have to hesitate.
"You? What excuse are you going to use to leave? Mu Yunfeng asked worriedly. Although Ming Tao is not a general at the border gate, he will not be given the name of a deserter. But......
"There is no better candidate, so I can only go. Do you want to be a deserter? Ming Tao asked jokingly.
"But you can leave without a reason?" Mu Yunfeng was still a little worried about whether Ming Tao's excuse would be able to pass the emperor's level. Besides, doesn't Ming Tao still have a holy decree to receive tomorrow?
"My excuse is in tomorrow's holy decree, but you have to help me take care of the path, I'm afraid the path will be dangerous if I go." Ming Tao said to Mu Yunfeng seriously.
"Now Marshal Mu has been recalled to the capital by his father, and I don't know when he will be able to return. I'm not here, so you have to be careful here. It's better that I don't even talk about the other generals when I leave the border. ”
"I understand that." Nodding, Mu Yunfeng said affirmatively. Although he does not have as much responsibility as Ming Tao. This is also the place he resolutely guards. "As long as I Mu Yunfeng is here for a day, I will definitely not let the soldiers and horses of the Great Plains Country step here."
"Good! is worthy of being the son of Marshal Mu. I will rush back as soon as possible. However, you still have to send the news of my departure from the border pass back to Marshal Mu as soon as possible. After thinking about it, Ming Tao still said uneasily.
"It seems like someone will be faster than I do." Mu Yunfeng reminded in a low voice.
"Let them go!" Ming Tao naturally knew who Mu Yunfeng was talking about. However, since he didn't have the heart to fight, he naturally didn't care about these small actions they made behind his back.
"To give them a better excuse. I'd better go out of town overnight! After thinking about it, Ming Tao said.
"The old slave will prepare things for the prince." After Fu'an finished speaking, he was about to pack his luggage for Ming Tao.
"No, I'll just bring a few changes of clothes." Ming Tao hurriedly stopped Fu'an. "It's getting late, get out of here! If it were to be seen that you were here tonight, it would cause you problems. ”
"Oh well! Fu'an and I went first. Thinking of the chaotic situation tomorrow, Mu Yunfeng and Fu'an will no longer stay. Stay in good spirits so that they can cope with what is coming.
After Ming Tao waited for Mu Yunfeng and Fu'an to leave, he took out a package, wrapped a few clothes briefly, and left the room with his sword and money bag. However, he was not as unplanned and hurried as Mu Yunqiao. I saw that he not only led his BMW to chase the wind, but also walked directly to the gate. When he went out of the city, he also directly let the city gate soldiers open the city gate. When he had left the city gates, he rode his horse and ran into the distance.
