Zhenguo Mansion is located in the east city of Longyang City, with the Prince's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion on the same street, separated from the Chenwang Mansion by two streets, is the oldest building in Longyang City in addition to the Imperial Palace, it is said that it is the residence of Xi He, the founding general of Changli two hundred years ago, and today's Zhenguo Gong Xi Bochang is the descendant of Xi He.

In the study of the Zhenguo Mansion, Xi Bochang looked at the visitor with a serious face, and stretched out his hand to take the secret letter presented by the guard.

After a long time, Xi Bochang raised his eyes from the letter and said in a deep voice: "The marriage between the two countries should be decided by the emperor. What's more, the little daughter Ruoya is the emperor's own county lord, and her status is special, and her marriage will also be given by the emperor himself. Please tell your master, forgive my father for not being able to call the shots! ”

The person who came was not surprised by such a reply, and only said slowly: "Xi Guogong does not need to be too humble, everyone knows that Emperor Changli is not in good health, and the prince is often in charge of the country, but the prince has always looked forward to the prince of the country, as long as you say yes, you will definitely do it." ”

"You're provoking the relationship between my monarch and minister!" Xi Bochang's face was ugly.

The person who came smiled and said: "Xi Guogong, please calm your anger, I am a family and don't talk about two families, this marriage is good for you and everyone." ”

"What if I don't say yes?!" A cold glint appeared in Xi Bochang's eyes.

"Our master said, if Xi Guogong is really reluctant to pay a daughter, then he should find another cooperation, but it is not the evidence back then, but the master will keep it for you."

"Humph!" Xi Bochang's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold and staring at the person in front of him, his fists clenched under his wide sleeves, and he was full of murderous energy.

In the middle of the sound, he gradually suppressed his anger and said sharply: "This matter is in my heart, and I will do my best to go back and tell your master, I am not a persimmon to pinch someone." Someone, send off! ”

For a few days, Xi Muyu and Ling Shuang were running around for the store, but the ready-to-wear shop didn't take much effort to find the store, and also found the embroidery girl and the tailor, just waiting for the decoration to be finished, and the goods were opened.

And the inn has not been settled, they have no experience in running the inn, they want to take over from others, or buy at a high price, who knows that the merchants in the capital are thieves, and they can naturally think of it, seeing that the emperor's birthday is approaching, visitors from all walks of life gather in a city, the business of this inn is naturally very good, and no one wants to miss this good opportunity to make money.

"Childe, in the past few days, we have almost run all the slightly lively street markets in the capital, but we still haven't found anything, or we will only make ready-to-wear shops." Ling Shuang poured the tea and asked the herd who was ordering.

This is a restaurant in Longyang East City. At this time, it was noon, and there were many people eating, and the upstairs and downstairs were full.

Mu Yu ordered a good dish, looked at the crowded market downstairs, and frowned slightly: "Let's take a look, or we can do something else." ”

On the street, an old woman in ragged clothes with a little girl of five or six years old was walking in the direction of the restaurant step by step.

The old woman was on crutches, bent at the waist, her face was full of folds, the little girl's face was flushed, her lips were chapped, and her slender little hand held a broken bowl, and she begged to pass by.

At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers came from behind them, and when they saw the old and the young, they immediately surrounded them.

One of the officers and soldiers who looked like a leader of the team walked up to the two of them and shouted: "I am prosperous, prosperous, prosperous, and prosperous. Come on, these two people are detrimental to my Changli national prestige, and they may be spies of the enemy country, so they will take me down for strict interrogation. ”

Just as the soldier wanted to step forward to tie up the two, but the little girl was frightened and fainted to the ground, and the onlookers all exclaimed, the old woman saw this, threw the crutches, and collapsed to the ground with a 'bang', holding the little girl in her arms, and the old tears were all over the place, wailing: "We are not spies, uncle, please let us go, I kowtow to you, please do well, let us go......." The old woman cried as she threw herself to the ground, and in a few moments, her wrinkled forehead was already bloodied.

The soldiers who were about to step forward were stunned when they saw this scene, and froze there for a while, in a dilemma. The onlookers saw that the mother and grandson were very pitiful, and they all whispered accusations against the officers and soldiers, and the leader was a little panicked, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take the two away.

Ling Shuang was so angry by the scene in front of her that she was about to turn her head to ask the young lady for her life, but saw a white shadow floating in front of her.

When he looked at it again, Xi Mu Yu was already standing in the crowd, kicking down the two soldiers who wanted to step forward, taking the little girl in his arms with one hand, and holding the old woman with the other, his face was cold, and his eyes looked at the officers and soldiers led by him, and he said sharply: "Dignified Changli, self-proclaimed great country, the holy grace of the Son of Heaven, benevolent and loving the people, but I don't want to treat the suffering people like this!" In the blue sky and daylight, you can also talk nonsense with your eyes open, if they can be spies like this, then you are not going to be rebels! ”

The faces of the soldiers changed greatly, and the leader widened his eyes angrily: "Bold! Dare to insult the emperor, it seems that you are in a group, come, take it all for me. After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to move.

The onlookers quickly dodged away, although they sympathized with the mother-in-law and grandson, but no one dared to confront the officers and soldiers.

Mu Yu completely ignored their attack, and only slowly helped the old woman to walk towards the shop next to him.

The soldier relied on the large number of people, did not pay attention to the pastoral rumor at all, and immediately rushed up, wanting to capture him, and was about to wave the knife at him, who knew that the cold light flashed in front of him, and the sword in his hand was broken into two in the blink of an eye, and everyone was shocked, and they looked at it intently, but the person in front of them was a beautiful girl in a light green shirt.

"There are many things that don't know life and death, and they dare to do something to my son-in-law, waiting for dogs to take advantage of people and bully the people, and today I will teach you a good lesson for my son!" After speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and the sword was already shot.

When the people in the shop next to him saw that Mu Yu had helped the old woman to come, they immediately handed out a stick, invited her to sit down, and brought water to feed her to drink.

Seeing that Ling Shuang's kung fu was so strong, the leading soldiers secretly complained to themselves, but it was just an ordinary trivial matter, how could they provoke such a big Buddha, and now this situation is difficult to ride a tiger, so they have to take the trick with their heads.

Ling Shuang's sword light flew, knocking the swords in their hands to the ground, and kicked each of them a few times, and in the blink of an eye, a dozen soldiers staggered and wailed. But she was still angry, and another sword flew up, wanting to pick their sword-holding tendons.

"Stop!" As a cold voice sounded, a gray figure blocked Ling Shuang's attacking figure.

"Girl, you have already taught people, please let them go. After all, this is an important place in the capital, so why bother to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself for these guys who don't have long eyes. The man in gray said with a kind face.

Mu Yu's mood was no longer as excited as before, and when he heard this person speak, he weighed it in his heart: "Ling Shuang, let them go!" He stood up and said fiercely to the leading soldiers: "Let me see you behaving like this in the future, even if it is in front of the emperor Lao Tzu, I will kill you as such!" After that, he handed over the girl in his arms to Ling Shuang and helped the old woman himself.

"Didn't you hear? Don't get out of here! I don't know how your master disciplines you, it's a shame! The man in gray changed his previous kindness and said sharply to the officers and soldiers.

The frightened soldier didn't expect to be able to pick up a life, and at this moment, he didn't care about the ridicule of the people around him, and he crawled and crawled, lest he flee for his life backward.

The man in gray turned to the two herdsmen and said: "The chivalrous hearts of the two are really admirable, but I want to persuade the two of them: In the land of the capital, it is better to be careful!" "Said that he flew into the restaurant.

Mu Yu saw where he stopped, there was a clear figure that was turning and leaving inward, only to catch a glimpse of a delicate side face and a flowing fairy-like back, Mu Yu was slightly stunned, as if there was a familiar feeling.

Just as I was about to think about it, I heard the old woman's hoarse voice sound: "Thank you for your great kindness to the son and the girl, you are a good person, please save my granddaughter, please!" As he spoke, he knelt down.

Mu Yu hugged her: "Mother-in-law, don't do this! Don't worry, with me, your granddaughter will be fine. ”

After that, he took the little girl, asked Ling Shuang to hire a carriage, and took the two back to the garden for treatment.

The onlookers seemed to have just woken up from a series of incidents, and they did not expect that the officers and soldiers who were usually powerful and good would run away in such a mess, and they could not help but applaud the behavior of the master and servant.
