Chapter 11: She's My Woman
Looking at the look of disdain in Mu Zigui's expression, Tao Yao was indeed very curious, what kind of person could make Mu Zigui despise him like this.
When he accompanied Mu Zigui to the gate of the stone village and saw the person sitting on the tall horse, Tao Yao's murderous aura instantly became fierce.
Mu Zigui turned his hand and grabbed Tao Yao's wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be angry, leave it to me." β
Originally, Mu Cong thought that Mu Zigui must have broken through single-handedly, but he didn't want Mu Zigui to have already arranged it.
But he brought people up, if he didn't do something, wouldn't he be sorry to take people on this trip.
It's just that he didn't expect that he was really told by Tao Wan that Tao Yao was really with Mu Zigui.
Especially when he saw them holding hands, Mu Cong felt a kind of anger that his own things were snatched away by Mu Zigui.
However, he remembered the purpose of his coming here, and said with a surprised face: "Uncle Xiaohuang, why are you here." β
Mu Zigui looked at Mu Cong with a cold face: "This should be me asking the eldest prince." How did you end up here. β
Mu Cong had already thought about the explanation: "Today's weather is very good, my nephew wanted to come to the suburbs to hunt, just came to the bottom of this mountain, I heard the sound of swords and soldiers on the mountain, remembered that the magistrate said before, there are mountain bandits near this Niubei Mountain, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet Uncle Xiaohuang." I heard that Uncle Xiaohuang is training in the suburban school field today, why did he come to Niutou Mountain?"
Mu Zigui said lightly: "It's a matter of court secrets, and it's inconvenient to talk to the eldest prince." I'll deal with this side of the matter, the eldest prince, please go back. β
Mu Cong's face was very ugly, Mu Zigui didn't want him to interfere in the affairs of this stone village.
Although he had already decided to give up the stone village, when he thought of the things in the cellar, Mu Cong had the urge to go and see it for himself.
Tao Yao knew Mu Cong, and seeing that Mu Cong was not leaving, he sneered: "The eldest prince came just in time, and the people arranged here by the prince are not suitable for a quick march." The cavalry brought by the eldest prince is very suitable. Someone had just broken into the cellar and left with something important. If it's convenient for the eldest prince, it's better to go hunt down. β
Mu Zigui shook the key that Tao Yao gave him: "If it is inconvenient for the eldest prince, you can stay and check the silver in the cellar, and this king will go after it himself." β
As soon as Mu Zigui's voice fell, someone next to him stood up and said that he had seen the whereabouts of that person.
Mu Cong's heart was flustered, he knew Mu Zigui's ability.
But if he goes in person, he will definitely be able to catch someone.
If that person really took something very important, it must be a letter and account book that can prove his correspondence with the stone village.
When Mu Cong was hesitating, the person he had planted in the stone village before came to report that the big boss had run away.
Mu Cong was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only signal his people to hurry up and chase after him with his eyes, and then said to Mu Zigui: "Since Uncle Xiaohuang believes in Mu Cong like this, then Mu Cong will send someone to do this." β
Mu Zigui said lightly: "There must be a reason why this stone village can be entrenched here for many years, if you can catch that person, it must be a great credit." β
The implication is that you can get out.
Mu Cong just didn't leave, sat on the horse, looked at Tao Yao with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Why is Miss Tao Yao here." It's not safe to be in this place where bandits are rampant, come here, and I'll send you back personally. β
Originally, Mu Cong wanted to say that he would send Tao Yao back.
But seeing Tao Yao like this, he changed to send it himself.
In Mu Cong's eyes, Tao Yao is the grasshopper he caught, and he can handle it as he wants.
But he didn't want to, Tao Yao actually took a step back, hid half of his body behind Mu Zigui, and looked up at Mu Zigui with adoring eyes: "My safety is not bothered by His Highness." The prince is here, and he will definitely ensure my safety. β
Mu Cong's face instantly became extremely ugly.
From the day I met Tao Yao to the present, Tao Yao has always followed behind Mu Cong, and he wants to be like this, like that, to become Mu Cong's little tail.
Mu Cong has always felt that Tao Yao is a person who can follow him by hooking his fingers.
But now, she is relying on Mu Zigui's side.
If it were someone else, I was afraid that Mu Cong would not be so flustered.
The key person is Mu Zigui...... It was the fiancΓ© that his father wanted to hand-pick Tao Yao, which made Mu Cong a little irritable.
He must get Tao Yao, with the support of the king of the northwest.
He didn't know why Tao Yao suddenly had such an attitude towards him, but he also knew that it was not suitable to say anything to Tao Yao at this time, so he said directly to Mu Zigui in a deep voice: "Uncle Xiaohuang, it's not safe here, let me send Miss Tao Yao back to the capital first." β
Mu Zigui glanced at Mu Cong lightly: "There is this king." β
Tao Yao grabbed Mu Zigui's arm tightly with both hands, looking at Mu Cong's angry and corrupt face, his heart was indeed very happy, and he thought that he would simply say it clearly here: "Thank you, eldest prince." However, the eldest prince also knows that the emperor intends to marry me and His Royal Highness King Gui. Tao Yao didn't know it before, but now that he knows it in a few days, he naturally wants to keep his distance from other men. β
Mu Cong's pupils shrank fiercely, and he looked at Tao Yao incredulously.
This little girl, isn't she not married?
How's that going now?
Hehe, playing the trick of wanting to catch and indulge?
Sure enough, it was Tao Wan who said it correctly, Tao Yao, a little woman, doesn't look very old, but she has a lot of eyes.
What made Mu Cong even more unacceptable was that Tao Yao said to Mu Cong very seriously: "I have always known that the eldest prince is bold, but the eldest prince will not dare to rob a woman with his little imperial uncle." Seriously calculated, the eldest prince wants to call me a little imperial aunt. β
Mu Zigui encircled Tao Yao in his arms very domineeringly, and glanced at Mu Cong with a sneer, the meaning of warning was very strong.
Mu Cong was completely flustered, he couldn't lose Tao Yao.
quickly turned over and rushed directly into the stone village.
Mu Zigui and Tao Yao stood in place, watching Mu Cong rush over, and then said to Tao Yao with a panicked face: "Xiao Yao, you can't do this." You also told me before that you would not agree to the marriage with Uncle Xiaohuang. You've got to stay with me. Have you forgotten?"
Mu Zigui's sword eyebrows were upside down, and he was about to scold, but he was stopped by Tao Yao with a calm face.
Tao Yao took a step forward, looked at Mu Zigui's slightly embarrassed appearance, and said lightly: "Now that the matter is over, I can only tell the truth to His Highness." I have no affection for His Highness. The reason why I am close to His Highness is entirely because my cousin Tao Wan has a deep affection for His Highness. Let Your Highness misunderstand, it's mine or not. However, the matter has been made clear, Your Highness will not come to harass him again in the future. β
After Tao Yao finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the village, refusing to look at Mu Cong more.
Mu Cong subconsciously took a step forward, but was stopped by Mu Zigui.
"Uncle Xiaohuang, why is this untimely death suddenly different?" Mu Cong didn't understand how this woman, who was crying and shouting yesterday to marry her, suddenly became a different picture today.
Mu Zigui glanced back at Tao Yao and said lightly: "She is the woman of this king." β
