Zhao Mu is by no means an arrogant person, on the contrary, under the teaching of Concubine De since he was a child, he knows better than anyone what the word "Zangfeng" means. He has always shown his talent before, because he is indeed talented, and he has been reckless in the past twenty years in his life because he is indeed a proud son of the sky, not only in terms of identity, but also in terms of talent and ability.

When he was fourteen years old, he replaced a sick son and entered the tribute institute, and three articles were like splendor, and he explored flowers in high school.

At the age of sixteen, he led his troops to resist the invasion of the Northern Yan and made great achievements. At the age of seventeen, he opened a mansion and was named King Rui by the emperor.

Zhao Muwen, who was only 20 years old and just a weak crown, was Anbang, and Wu Ke Dingguo. If it weren't for the two brothers in front of him, or if he was born under the name of the queen, he would have been made the crown prince long ago.

Although this qiē is self-evident, it is true that no one has spoken out about this matter in front of Zhao Mu. Today, Rong Zhao put his words on the table so bluntly, which made Zhao Mu a little at a loss.

When Rong Zhao just asked this sentence, Zhao Mu was very uncomfortable for a while, and even the first thing that flashed in his heart was what was the purpose of Rong Zhao's question? However, looking at his honest gaze, Zhao Mu felt guilty for his dark psychology - the person in front of him had a miraculous skill, even if he couldn't soar because of this skill, but with his intelligence and identity, if he wanted to live a stable and prosperous life, it would be no problem, but the road he was going to take was full of blood and killing, and if he was not careful, it would be a place of no return, so why should he bother to ask?

"This qiē done by this king is naturally for the sake of one day being able to sit in that position, command the world, and benefit the common people." Zhao Mu didn't speak loudly, but he was loud.

Rong Zhao nodded slowly and said, "The prince is honest with me, then I will also repay the prince with a frank heart." ”

"In this way, you and I are brothers." Zhao Mu hugged his fist towards Rong Zhao and bowed slightly.

"The prince loves him, but his brother doesn't dare to be it." Rong Zhao returned the salute with a fist, and said: "Since the prince didn't treat Rong Zhao as an outsider, then Rong Zhao doesn't have to hide some words." ”

Zhao Mu raised his hand and said, "If you have something to say, please feel free to say it, whether you and I are right or wrong today, only sincerely." ”

"The prince walked the emperor's road, which was made of blood and bones, and only succeeded and not failed. It can be said that God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. So the prince doesn't have to worry about who is behind the poisoning this time, instead of wasting energy and time to find out what is behind the scenes, the mastermind behind the scenes is not important to you at all, so I think you might as well think of a plan to let those who are on your way kill each other because of this matter, and the prince will take advantage of this Taoguang to watch the tiger fight, and wait for them to lose and then come out to reap the benefits of the fisherman. When Rong Zhao said this, he didn't say any more, only picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea lightly, waiting for Rong Zhao to speak.

"You're right." Zhao Mu picked up the teapot to fill Rong Zhao with tea, poured half a cup for himself, gently pinched it in his hand and sniffed the fragrance of tea but didn't drink it, "It doesn't matter who the mastermind behind the scenes is to me at all. But it's very important to you, I know you're investigating this matter, because the person who holds the secret poison recipe of the Bashu Tang Sect is the enemy of Miss Zi Ji. ”

"It's none of your business, you can just sit and drink tea and watch." Rong Zhao said lightly.

"No, Rong Zhao." Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "You are wrong. ”

"Oh?" Rong Zhao chuckled, "The prince shouldn't tell me anything about brotherly righteousness, right?" As I said just now, the road to the emperor is made of blood and bones, and there is nothing wrong with the word 'righteousness' in it. Since ancient times, most of the heroes have been destroyed on this 'righteousness', shouldn't you be so stupid? ”

"It has nothing to do with the word 'righteous anger.'" Zhao Mu said lightly.

"What does that have to do with that?" Rong Zhao stared straight at Zhao Mu's eyes with a pair of eyes, not missing any of his subtle expressions.

Zhao Mu lowered his eyes slightly and didn't look at him, only stared at the blue and white tea cup in his hand, and muttered for a long time, Fang said slowly: "The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do." If I can even put aside the business of saving my life, then there is no point in sitting in that supreme position. ”

didn't hear the answer he wanted, Rong Zhao was always a little disappointed in his heart, he looked away and smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "Then you are still arrogant!" ”

"This has nothing to do with being willful, this is the bottom line of this king's life." Zhao Mu looked up at Rong Zhao's side face, and suddenly found that this guy was wearing a robe with a high collar today, covering his slender and white neck, and two points of disappointment flashed in his heart.

Rong Zhao suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Mu, and asked with a smile: "In other words, if you don't help me, you will be so upset that you can't eat and sleep?" ”

The two looked at each other, Zhao Mu was fascinated by the brilliance in Rong Zhao's eyes, and muttered, "Sort of." ”

Rong Zhao leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Then it's better like this, the prince will give me a person, and I will dispose of it, how about it?" ”

Zhao Mu looked down at his cunning eyes, and always felt that this guy had a bad heart again, so he asked, "Who do you want?" ”

"Green Cliff." Rong Zhao said.

"What do you want him to do?" Zhao Mu asked again.

Rong Zhao leaned forward again, and his voice was lowered: "With Lord Xiao's intelligence, I think he should have only handed over the Liao family to the Criminal Department, and the Liao family will definitely kill him in order to save his son's life and will not confess to Qingya, so this Qingya has not yet revealed his identity to the other party." ”

Zhao Mu nodded, Rong Zhao hadn't asked about these things, but Xiao Zhengshi had already discussed with himself, and he wanted to keep the line of Qingya and hang out the fish behind. Unexpectedly, today Rong Zhao also hit the idea on Qingya's head.

"So by giving me this person, you are paying back the favor you owe me. What do you think? Rong Zhao said with a wink of dark eyes.

Zhao Mu looked at his little fox-like expression and couldn't help but smile: "I owe you a favor?" Isn't it already returned? ”

"......" Rong Zhao was suddenly choked and speechless.

Looking at Rong Zhao's indignant appearance, Zhao Mu felt more and more funny, and asked with a smile: "You eat in my house, live in my house, and spend money to make beauties on me, isn't this enough to repay your favor?" ”

Rong Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll move out now!" ”

"Don't!" Zhao Mu hurriedly reached out and pressed Rong Zhao's hand on the kang table, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, are you serious?" ”

"Are you kidding?" Rong Zhao looked at Zhao Mu hesitantly, suddenly pulled his hand out from under his palm, and snorted, "Is there such a joke?" Never heard of a cannibal with a short mouth? More than a dozen of us eat at your house and live in your house, is it okay to be short of breath?! ”

"Ho! Look at this anger, do you look like you're short of breath? Zhao Mu withdrew his hand and smiled helplessly.

"In a word, do you want to give it or not?" Rong Zhao asked with a stiff face.

"Give." Zhao Mu nodded vigorously.

"Isn't that the end of it? Leave the matter of tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes to me, Lord Wang, you can take care of yourself. Rong Zhao said, and was about to get up and say goodbye.

"However, isn't it easier for Qingya to lure the fish to the bait by staying by my side than following you?" Zhao Mu asked again.

Rong Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at Zhao Mu, and chuckled: "That's right, but your fisherman's health is too poor, even if you hang a big fish, you don't have the strength to pull it up, so leave it to me." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Mu was angry and funny, and thought that Rong Zhao couldn't escape his sight anyway, so he nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to, take it away." ”

"Thank you, I'm leaving." Rong Zhao bowed his hand to Zhao Mu, turned around and left.

Looking at Rong Zhao's dashing back, Zhao Mu shook his head helplessly, and said to Mama Song next to him: "Mama, help me to lie down for a while." ”

Mama Song hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Mu slowly get down from the couch, the master and servant walked to the inner bedroom, Mama Song complained in a low voice: "Although the prince is no big deal now, but his body has suffered heavy injuries and needs to be cultivated well, why did he talk to Narong Shizi for so long today, those are not important things, but the prince has been patiently listening to him, and the old slave is tired and panicked for the prince when he looks at it from the side." ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Mu looked at Mama Song strangely.

Mama Song was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and said, "The slave can't say it, it's just intuition." Although this Rong Shizi is a bit of a genius and knows those detoxification techniques, he is too out of tune to speak and do things, and there is a kind of frivolity everywhere, and the old slave just looks down on his unruly appearance. ”

Zhao Mu sat on the bed and looked at Mama Song and said, "How many people in this world are humble on the surface but stabbing knives behind their backs? I just like Rong Zhao's openness. Mama has been with me for so many years, and she should understand my heart, and she will not say such things again in the future. ”

"What the prince said is that the old slave remembers." Mama Song hurriedly answered.

"Well, just remember. Just now I promised Rong Zhao to teach Qingya to deal with him, so you can send people over. ”

Mama Song hurriedly responded: "Yes, please rest, the old slave will go." ”

Since Liao was sent to the Criminal Department, Qingya has been secretly locked up by Mama Song, and only said that he would go home to take care of his father's funeral and come back in a few days. Today, I was taken out of the dungeon of King Rui's Mansion by Mama Song and sent directly to the courtyard, and I didn't hear a word from Mama Song along the way.

Rong Zhao was leaning on the eaves of the porch to bask in the sun and play with the blood spots, the colorful cloth ball in his hand was thrown out, and the shepherd dog happily ran out and held the cloth ball before it hit the ground and sent it back proudly. Rong Zhao's rule is that as long as the cloth ball falls on the ground and is not caught, there will be one less piece of meat for lunch.

This is the rule that Rong Zhao has set since he was very young, when he was a child, because he couldn't hold the cloth ball, he didn't know how many times he was hungry, and Mei Ruo quietly took the food for it, so he had an extraordinary attachment to this matter.

"Oh my mother!" As soon as Mama Song entered the courtyard gate, she saw a big white dog suddenly pounce on her, and she was immediately frightened and at a loss, waving her hands in front of her, and retreating again and again. However, the shepherd dog didn't even look at her after landing on her side, and turned around and pounced on Rong Zhao.

Mama Song was shocked, and sighed while patting her chest: "Oh my God! What is this doing? ”

"Not bad." Rong Zhao took the red cloth ball and sighed again: "But you scared Mama Song, what should I do?" ”

The blood whining stepped forward to lick Rong Zhao's face, and he didn't bother to pay attention to that grandma, she looked very arrogant.

"Punish you to go and squat in the house for half an hour, and don't move." Rong Zhao patted the dog's head and smiled.

"Wang!" The blood spot raised his head and screamed in his throat to show disbeneance.

"If you call again, I'll go and squat for an hour." Rong Zhao put away his smile and said lightly.

"Whew......" The blood spot made Mama Song roll her eyes, and turned around and went into the house.

"The old slave asks Rong Shizi for peace." Only then did Mama Song dare to come forward and face Rong Zhaoyifu.

Rong Zhao glanced at the green cliff behind Mama Song, and said with a smile: "Mama came here to see him off, right?" ”

"Hui Shiziye, exactly. The prince asked the old slave to send Qingya over to listen to the call of the prince. Mama Song said, turned around and instructed Qingya: "Don't you lose a gift to the prince?" ”

Qingya has suffered from Rong Zhao, and knows that this young boy brother doesn't even say a cruel word while talking and laughing with you, and he can cure you to death and live to death, so he still has palpitations when he sees you again, and after being scolded by Mama Song, he hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow to Rong Zhao, and said with a shrunken voice: "I've seen the son." ”

Rong Zhao nodded slowly, looked at the young man who had obviously lost weight for a few laps, and his bones were completely devoid of the handsome temperament he had before, and said, "Okay, get up." In the future, you will be on an errand in this courtyard, don't be afraid, your mother is your mother, you are you, this son has always had clear grievances and grievances, and this son has promised your mother to spare your life, so naturally he will not do anything to you, you don't have to be so alarmed. ”

"Gongzi Xie!" Qingya kowtowed again, and only then did he get up from the ground.

Rong Zhao beckoned to Sheng Qiong again, and ordered: "In the future, Qingya will follow you, if there is anything he can do, you can teach him." ”

Sheng Qiong bowed in agreement, then turned his head to Qingya and said; "Come with me."

Qingya saluted Rong Zhao again, and followed Sheng Qiong down.

Rong Zhao looked at Mama Song standing there and refused to leave, because he asked, "Mama is still in trouble?" ”

Mama Song sighed, pointed to Qingya's back and said, "Childe, the old slave just told you in vain, this child is unreliable!" You have to be careful. ”

"Don't worry, at least he won't dare to poison me." Rong Zhao chuckled.

"Look at what the prince said, the way to harm people in this world is not just poisoning, you must be careful, and a few girls, don't be careless about serving the prince on weekdays." Mama Song said, looking at Mei Ruo and the others again.

Mei Ruo replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Mama, we will definitely be careful." ”

Mama Song listened to Mei Ruo's assurance, and left uneasily. Mei Ruo sent her outside the courtyard gate and repeatedly promised that she would be on guard, and watched her go away before turning back.

"Childe, do we really put such a person by our side?" Mei Ruo is also a hundred uneasy about Qingya.

"Well, I'll take him with me when I go out in the future, it's useful." Rong Zhao pinched his chin and looked at the old plum in the yard, thoughtful.

Mei Ruo took a cloak to cover Rong Zhao's legs, and asked, "Childe, shall we still go out at night?" If you go out, I will tell Rong Sheng to prepare the carriage. ”

"Well, get out." Rong Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to Lan Gui Lou tonight to watch Miss Lan Xiang dance." ”

"Yesterday I went to Huayue Tower, today I went to Langui Tower, where should I go tomorrow? Childe, do you want to visit all the green buildings in the capital? ”

"Ming'er? Ming'er, let's go to Huayue Tower. Rong Zhao said with a smile, "Anyway, the two best green houses in Shangjing are these two, let's take turns in this and that, and you must make a name for yourself in Shangjing." ”

"It's not...... Childe, you want to make a name for yourself, that's right, but why do you have to go to the Qinglou? Mei Ruo sighed depressedly.

Rong Zhao laughed twice, and asked Mei Ruo: "Then do you think that in addition to going to the Qinglou to become famous faster, does the master have any other way to make himself famous in the capital?" ”

Mei Ruo said with a stinky face: "But if you go to Qinglou every day, even if you are famous in the capital, it will be notorious!" Besides, the Qinglou is a place to burn silver, we have a total of so many belongings, and we have to prepare for emergency use by Concubine Yue in the palace, you can't lose them all! ”

When Zi Ji heard this, she hurriedly interjected and said, "I still have some savings, I know that Childe went to visit the Qinglou for my business, and he spent my money first." As she spoke, she took out a handful of silver tickets from her arms and handed them to Mei Ruo, "Oh, you take it." ”

"How's this going to work? Sister, you misunderstood! Mei Ruo didn't know what to do for a while, so she hurriedly turned her head to look at Rong Zhao, "Childe, you can say something!" ”

"Alright, you two! Don't make a fuss! Rong Zhao pushed off the cloak on his body and got up from the main couch, first knocked Zi Ji's forehead, then pinched Mei Ruo's face, and said with a smile: "The master makes money himself, and no one's money is spent, this is always okay, right?" ”

"How do you make money?"

"What do you make money with?"

Zi Ji and Mei Ruo asked in unison.

Co-author...... You're a piece of waste in your eyes, isn't he? Rong Zhao looked at the eyes of the two girls looking at him and felt hurt.

"The slave didn't mean that." Mei Ruo shook her head hurriedly.

"Zi Ji didn't dare to question Childe's ability." Zi Ji also hurriedly explained, and asked curiously: "It's just that you have neither an industrial business nor a homestead shop in the capital, how can you make money?" Is it possible to go to the street to cheat and be deceived? ”

"What kind of deception? Go sell yourself! Wake up, right? Rong Zhao raised his hand and knocked Zi Ji's head, turned around and went into the house.

That night, Rong Zhao really took Mei Ruo Ziji and Sheng Qiong and Qingya and his party to Lan Gui Lou by car.

Different from Huayue Tower, Lan Gui Lou is a big courtyard, three in and three out, modeled after the pattern of the courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, one step at a time, every turn is another piece of the cave. Rong Zhao got off at the gate of the courtyard, looked up at the door of the courtyard on the gold star sandalwood plaque painted with gold characters "Lan Gui Qi Fang" four big characters, the couplet on both sides to see that the handwriting and the plaque are from the same person's hand, the upper couplet is: Lan from the valley wind. The next link is: Gui out of the Guanghan dissolves the moon.

Rong Zhao pondered this couplet carefully, and said to Mei Ruo: "Don't say it, the Fengyue Field in the capital is more cultured than the other!" This couplet seems to be more meaningful than the one in Huayue Tower. ”

Mei Ruo flattened her mouth disdainfully, and snorted: "What about Lan Gui Qi Fang, where did Lan Gui Qi Fang come from in a brothel in a green building?" ”

"The people who come out and go in are all sons and sons of powerful families, isn't it Lan Gui Qifang? In this way, this Lan Gui Lou is a step higher than Huayue Tower. Rong Zhao sighed.

"We are not afraid of him, we are more powerful than them." Zi Ji laughed.

"Come on, go." Rong Zhao said, raising his feet and entering the courtyard gate of Lan Gui Tower.

Immediately after entering the door, a turtle man greeted him to say hello and guide the way, and asked Rong Zhao if he had an appointment with the girl.

Rong Zhao walked in like an old prostitute, and before he reached the door of the front hall, he heard someone behind him shouting with a smile: "Oops, Zhou Gongzi!" You haven't come a day! ”

Rong Zhao's footsteps immediately stopped, and he slowly turned around and looked back, but saw a young man wrapped in a purple brocade cloak enter the door with a cold face. Rong Zhao feels that he is very annoying to this face of half man and half woman every time he looks at himself, but now that he sees this person, he feels that he is still good, at least it doesn't matter whether the girl is male or male or female, it is still a decent face, and the person in front of him is actually pink-faced and peach-cheeked, he is wearing makeup!

Seeing this, Rong Zhao's waist pole couldn't help but feel straighter, thinking that Lao Tzu was still worried about being seen by others, but now it seems that it is really unfounded, at least Lao Tzu is more tough than this little boy of the Zhou family when he stops here!

"Who are you? What does it mean to look at Motoko with such eyes?! Zhou Yueting walked over with Rong Zhao's inquiring gaze all the way, stopped in front of him, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Do you know this son?" ”

"Zhou Gongzi's name, who in the capital doesn't know it." Rong Zhao clenched his fist towards Zhou Yueting.

"Do you really know me?" Zhou Yueting felt more and more strange, and looked Rong Zhao up and down, left and right, and suddenly smiled and stretched out his finger to point at Rong Zhao, and said: "Okay, since you know me, it can be regarded as fate, fortunately, this son has time today, so it is better to talk inside." ”

"Okay." Rong Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "I am fortunate to meet Zhou Gongzi, and I didn't come to this Langui Tower in vain tonight." After a while, under the treat, Zhou Gongzi likes to play what he said. ”

"No!" Zhou Yueting flicked his sleeves and walked inside, and said leisurely: "It's okay to be elsewhere, in this courtyard, you don't need to fight with me." ”

When Rong Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and make a grimace at Mei Ruo.

Mei Ruo raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then turned her head to look at Zi Ji, who smiled and shook her head, signaling with her eyes that she didn't know what would happen.

Before going out, he was afraid that his son-in-law would do something out of the ordinary, and Mei Ruo also brought some more silver tickets, and now it seems that this qiē should be in Rong Zhao's calculations.

------Off topic------
