Chapter 36: Mutation
The sun came as scheduled, bringing a touch of warmth to the early morning
Through the windows, there is also a hint of light in the room
Looking at the villain lying in his arms, Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, and he couldn't help but lean over and imprint a kiss on her forehead
"Hmm" seemed to be disturbed from his sleep, Zuo Yanmo waved his hand dissatisfiedly
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yunmo chuckled, "What a little fool" and got up quietly
Tuck the corners of the quilt and walk out of the room with his feet up
Hearing only a "squeak", the person on the bed also opened his eyes, looked at the raised hands, and muttered, "What are those?" ”
frowned slightly, but he didn't understand anything
"Huh" exhaled lightly, got up, looked at the sunlight that fell into the fingertips, Zuo Yanmo said softly, "Today, go see Xiao'er and them"
With that, he got out of bed. Looking at the Mo Yu who fell outside the clothes, Zuo Yanmo's movements paused, and he reached out and took it down
Gently wiping the lines on its surface, he muttered, "What the hell is going on?" What do you want to tell me? ”
Realizing that he was talking to a stone, Zuo Yanmo smiled helplessly and put it in his clothes
What Zuo Yanmo didn't know was that just now, Mo Yu flashed quickly, but quickly disappeared
After walking out of the room, looking at the huge hall, there was no figure, looking at the phantom on the side and saying, "Phantom, where did Yu Heng go?" ”
The phantom coughed lightly and said, "Miss Zuo, Your Highness has gone to the court early."
Hearing this, Zuo Yanmo nodded understandingly
"Your Highness said that if Miss Zuo wants to go out, she must let her subordinates follow," the phantom said in a positive voice
Zuo Yanmo also knew that his three-legged cat's kung fu was vulnerable in front of a real master. Looking at the phantom's face, he said, "Then let's go now."
"Get out now?" The phantom was stunned, not knowing what she was going to do
I saw Zuo Yanmo nodding and said, "Everything in the store has been done, just waiting for an auspicious day for the zodiac to open." ”
"It's okay today, go see Xiao'er and their sisters"
The phantom paused, but nodded "Okay, the subordinate left a note" and said, then picked up the pen and paper and wrote something
Looking at his cautious appearance, Zuo Yanmo's mind suddenly thought of what he said to Xuanyuan Yunmo that day
"Until I have the strength to match you"
Yes, he's so powerful, and I'm trying to catch up with him. Thinking of this, Zuo Yanmo only felt a touch of indescribable emotion in his heart
"Alright, Miss Zuo. Let's go," the phantom picked up the bamboo tube and placed it beside the inkstone
Looking at his movements, Zuo Yanmo nodded, raised his feet and walked out of Xuanyun Palace. When I turned to look, I saw a palace standing in the distance, very tall
Puzzled, "Phantom, that's where the emperor summoned the minister."
Hearing this, the phantom's gaze fell on the palace, and he nodded and said, "Exactly"
Zuo Yanmo nodded and walked towards the outside of the palace
The phantom followed closely behind her
What Zuo Yanmo didn't know was that in the main hall, all the people lowered their heads
On the blank ground in front of him, there were a lot of twists and turns, and when he looked up, he saw Xuanyuan Yiyao's face was iron-blue, obviously angry to the extreme
"Why is there so much less silver taels in the Ministry of Industry!" Xuanyuan Yiyao held back his anger and shouted
There was a silence below
"Isn't there anyone to explain to me!" Xuanyuan Yunmo gasped and said angrily
I saw that one of the almost identical clothes stood up
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry transferred silver taels this time because there was a large number of floods on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the local Taishou has reported to the emperor," Li Xu said
Xuanyuan Yunmo's face was slightly gloomy, "I know about this matter, and I have already sent someone to a place in Jiangnan to send silver taels, why are there so many vacancies now!" ”
"This ...... Wei Chen didn't know" Li Xu pursed his lips
Xuanyuan Yunmo, who was already on the verge of rage, was even more angry this time, "Give me a thorough investigation!" Look where these tens of thousands of taels of silver go! ”
"The ministers were terrified," and all the people knelt down
Xuanyuan Yunmo, who knelt on the ground, was calm without a trace of waves in his eyes
With a burst of shouting from the eunuchs, all the ministers withdrew from the Tairen Hall one after another
Looking at Xuanyuan Yunmo who was walking out, Xuanyuan Yunmo shouted, "Heng'er, wait a minute"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yunmo's footsteps paused and stopped aside
Looking at Xuanyuan Yunmo, who was left behind, a trace of jealousy flashed in Xuanyuan Ze's eyes, but he had to leave here again
Xuanyuan Yi looked at him worriedly
Looking at his gaze, Xuanyuan Yunmo nodded
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yi knew that he had thoughts in his heart, and walked out behind the crowd
Only father and son were left in the huge hall
Looking at Xuanyuan Yunmo at the bottom, Xuanyuan Yiyao raised his feet and walked down
"Heng'er, what do you think about this matter?" Stopped in front of him
His gaze turned slightly, his gaze fell on him, and he said lightly, "Does my father want to hear the truth?" ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yiyao was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips
Looking at his appearance, a dark light flashed in Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes
"But it doesn't hurt to say," Xuanyuan Yiyao said
Xuanyuan Yunmo opened his mouth and said, "Presumably, this is the real accounting book of the Ministry of Industry, and it seems that Erchen doesn't know about it."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yiyao snorted lightly, but did not speak
I only heard Xuanyuan Yunmo say, "The official mansion on Lord Li, I guess my father has seen it."
Xuanyuan Yiyao's mind came to the incident just now, and the official uniform on Li Xu's body obviously had patches. Pondering, "I'll leave this matter to you."
Xuanyuan Yunmo looked at him and said lightly, "You know, I have always cared about these things."
"No, you have to do it!" How could Xuanyuan Yiyao not know what he was thinking, he had been so cold-minded since he was a child, and he didn't care much about the affairs of the court
Looking at the seriousness on his face, Xuanyuan Yunmo said, "The imperial brother is the main one, and the sons and daughters are the auxiliary."
Seeing that he agreed, Xuanyuan Yiyao finally exhaled lightly
"Since my father is fine, my son will retreat" Xuanyuan Yunmo turned and left
Looking at his back, Xuanyuan Yiyao sighed lightly
Outside the main hall, Xuanyuan Yi was waiting anxiously. Seeing him come out, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said worriedly
"How? Didn't you quarrel with your father? ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yunmo paused, looked at him, "I will assist you in the matter of the Ministry of Engineering" and then raised his feet and walked forward
Looking at his back, Xuanyuan froze in place, and his words echoed in his mind, "I will assist you in the matter of the Ministry of Works." But the body reacted faster than the brain and followed
Xuanyuan Yi whispered, "You're crazy! ”
Xuanyuan Yunmo was silent and did not answer his words
Seeing that he was silent, Xuanyuan Yi hurriedly said, "Father obviously wants you to make achievements in the court."
His ears were full of his chattering voice, Xuanyuan Yunmo frowned slightly, and said lightly, "You also know that I don't like these."
"But," Xuanyuan Yi was about to say something, looking at him with a cold look on his face, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, I could only sigh helplessly
Xuanyuan Ze came to the Ningqiu Hall with an unhappy face
"What's going on in the court today?" Seeing that his face was wrong, Nanya's brows furrowed slightly
Xuanyuan Ze pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the Ministry of Industry lost the silver taels for no reason."
Hearing this, Nanya fell silent, but a dark light flashed in her eyes
"Mother?" Seeing that she was silent, Xuanyuan Ze wondered
Nanya was stunned for a moment, and came back to her senses, "But what else is going on?" ”
Xuanyuan Ze's face changed slightly, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, "When the dynasty was dispersed, my father left Xuanyuan Yunmo behind. Presumably, the fat errand of the Ministry of Investigations fell into his mouth again! ”
Although it was expected, Nanya's face was not good-looking. Looking at Xuanyuan Ze's eyes were also full of disappointment, listening to what he was still saying, he was tired and said, "The mother concubine is tired, you should step back first"
Xuanyuan Ze was stunned for a moment, but he also said obediently, "Yes, the mother concubine has a good rest, and the sons will retreat first" As he spoke, he turned around and left here
Nanya finally sighed lightly
"Niangniang, Your Highness, he is still too young," Fu Ju on the side comforted
Hearing this, Nanya chuckled, "Young? He's the eldest of the four."
Fu Ju was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only gently press her shoulder
Nanya looked at a certain place and remembered those people that day, so she suddenly appeared in front of her. Without a trace of defense, Nanya still remembered her surprised look at the time. Thinking of the conditions they agreed, there was a rare softness in his eyes
Feeling the gentle aura on her body, Fuju on the side was a little strange, but she didn't ask anything
The sun is hanging in the sky, and it is so bright that it wants to make people dizzy
On the street, pedestrians from all walks of life walked back and forth, and from time to time there were faces different from those of the people of Kaiyuan City
Wu Hai walked on the street, but his eyes fell on the city gate of Dongjie not far away, looking at only a few sporadic people patrolling, his heart was happy, and he suppressed the joy that was about to come out. looked at the person beside him and asked, "Hey, this little brother, I'm from the village, I saw that there are still many guards at this city gate two days ago, why aren't there any today?" ”
The man who was shouted whispered, "I heard that the traces of those thieves were found outside the city, and there are fewer guards in the city."
"I see," Wu Hai nodded
Just listen to the man who said, "It's not enough for these people to die 10,000 times, they steal other people's children!" When I looked up, I saw that the person who asked me was gone
Wu Hai, who was already far away from the east city gate, had already come to the moat, and sure enough, the guards who were originally guarding the moat were gone
Wu Hai was overjoyed and walked quickly towards the deep alley
Twisting and turning, I came to the gate. Glancing around, he pushed open the door and walked inside
Hearing the sound, Wu Meng hurriedly walked out, and when he saw that it was Wu Hai, he was obviously relieved
Seeing that his face was happy, he hurriedly said, "How is it?" ”
"It may be that the adults did a trick to make those guards think that we appeared outside the city, and now most of the guards have gone to the outside of the city to inspect" Wu Hai said with a smile, looked around and said, "Is Zhang Feng back?" ”
"Not yet, but it should take some time for him to go to other places" The corners of Wu Meng's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled, "His grandmother's, it's finally going to take this aggrieved breath!" ”
Hearing this, Wu Hai also laughed and said, "When Zhang Feng comes back, we will pack up and leave here."
"Good!" Wu Meng nodded
No one knew that the storm would come again
In a small courtyard, there were bursts of laughter
Zuo Yanmo looked at the two people in front of him, and his heart moved slightly
Now under the careful care of Zhang's mother, the two sisters' bodies have gradually improved, and even the previous malnutrition has disappeared. With the new costumes, it is even more cute
The point is that the eyes that were lifeless and without a trace of vitality before are also full of aura at this time, full of liveliness that should be at this age
Thinking of this, Zuo Yanmo got up and said to Zhang's mother, "Zhang's mother, I've really been thanks to you these days." If it weren't for you, these two sisters wouldn't be able to live so well."
"Miss Zuo, if you say that, you're torturing the old slave," Zhang's mother said hurriedly. looked at the two people snuggling up to her, and chuckled, "Mother Zhang is an old woman, and she has no children and no daughters, these two little guys are very sensible and lovely." The old slave was also very happy."
Hearing this, Zuo Yanmo's eyes darkened, yes, the two sisters are really very sensible. At this age, they are experiencing experiences that ordinary people do not have
Thinking of this, Zuo Yanmo's eyes were sour
Sensing that something was wrong with her, Zhang's mother didn't ask anything. smiled and said, "Since Miss Zuo is here, if you don't dislike it, you can eat here at noon." These two little guys miss you very much."
"Sister~" The two sisters, who were afraid that she would not agree, took one of her hands and said coquettishly
Zuo Yanmo chuckled and looked at the two of them dotingly, "Okay, it's up to you"
"Oh! Wonderful," the two sisters cheered, smiles on their faces
Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two, the corners of Zuo Yanmo's lips hooked slightly
"Then Miss Zuo, the old slave went out to buy some ingredients, you can wait here," Zhang's mother smiled
Listening to her title, Zuo Yanmo chuckled, "Mom Zhang, it's good if you call me Yanmo, if you are a girl in one mouth, I won't agree"
Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, looked at Zuo Yanmo's smile, and said, "Okay, Yanmo"
Zuo Yanmo responded crisply, but it made Zhang Male close her mouth, and she was full of love for this girl. It's a pity that they are already members of the Sixth Highness. Otherwise, it's okay to choose your own young master
"Zhang's mother?" Seeing that she was stunned when she looked at herself, Zuo Yanmo was puzzled
Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, realizing what she was thinking, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Zuo Yanmo had doubts, he didn't ask more. Walked aside and played with the two sisters
Zhang's mother had already walked out of the yard and walked towards the street
In the palace, Xuanyuan Yunmo had already seen the message left by the phantom, looking at the words on it, Zuo Yanmo's face appeared in his mind, and a touch of tenderness suddenly appeared in his eyes
"Yo, I'm thinking about Yanmo again" A ridicule came into his ears. I saw Xuanyuan Yi come to Xuanyuan Yunmo's side with a smile on his face
Put away the tenderness and looked at him
Seeing him change his face so quickly, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and said, "Hooked"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yunmo's face was still as flat as usual
"Do you want to go," Xuanyuan Yi asked
Remembering that Zuo Yanmo was still outside the palace, Xuanyuan Yunmo nodded
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yi also stood up, he said lightly, "Brother Huang, there are already people waiting for you in the Ministry of Industry."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yi sighed helplessly, "You are really fast", seeing that he did not react, Xuanyuan Yi could only walk out of Xuanyun Hall first and head towards the Ministry of Works
Looking at his back, a smile flashed in Xuanyuan Yunmo's eyes, got up, and walked towards the outside of the hall
At the same time, on the street, a horse-drawn carriage was driving slowly
Shuttling through the crowd, there is no obtrusion at all
Inside the carriage, Wu Hai opened the curtain and looked outside
I saw that the road was full of people coming and going, and from time to time there was the sound of hawkers
"How?" Zhang Feng lowered his voice
Wu Hai lowered the curtain and said, "It seems that there is nothing abnormal." Before Zhang Feng could say anything, he heard the sound of "tapping and tapping" from outside the carriage
The three of them were immediately silent, listening intently to the sounds outside
"Quick! Your Excellency has found a thief outside the North City Gate! Let's help! ”
"Yes!"
After a few moments, the sound faded into my ears
Wu Hai lifted the curtain, quietly looked back, only saw the backs of a few people, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, and said
"It looks like the East Street Gate is no longer guarded"
Zhang Feng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Great!" They certainly didn't think we'd pick this path."
"We're really blind cats and dead rats, we made the right bet!" Even Wu Meng laughed
Both of them looked behind him, and saw the children's brows furrowed, as if they were about to wake up
Wu Meng immediately covered his mouth
"Coachman, hurry up, we're in a hurry!" Wu Hai couldn't help but be a little anxious
"Okay, don't worry," I saw the coachman whip his whip, and the horse drove out quickly, and the pedestrians on the road hurriedly dodged
Zuo Yanmo, who had just picked up the sugar gourd from the vendor's hand, looked at the galloping carriage, and immediately pulled Xiao'er and the two of them to take a step back
"I'm not scared," Zuo Yanmo looked at the two and said softly
The two sisters shook their heads
Zuo Yanmo put the sugar gourd in his hand in the hands of the two of them, but his eyes fell on the carriage, and he felt a little strange in his heart, "This Dongjie City has always been lively, and it stands to reason that there will not be such a rampaging carriage."
"Sister" looked at her stunned, and Sun Xiao took her hand lightly
Zuo Yanmo was stunned for a moment and looked down at her. chuckled, "Let's go, sister will take you to see other fun things" said, took the hands of the two of them, and walked forward
The two sisters had smiles on their faces
Sun Xiao looked up at her side face, only felt that she was full of happiness now, and said with a smile, "Sister, thank you!" ”
Hearing this, Zuo Yanmo was stunned, looked at her, there was a soft light in his eyes, and said softly, "Xiao'er also has to become powerful, protect her sister well" Zuo Yanmo didn't want the two of them to be immersed in this kind of life like this, after all, what they have now is just given by others. What you have will not be taken away by others!
I don't know if Sun Xiao understood the meaning of Zuo Yanmo's words, and nodded heavily
Zuo Yanmo chuckled and led the two of them forward
Wu Hai looked at the four guards at the city gate, a little stunned
Seeing that something was wrong with him, Zhang Feng frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Hai shook his head, "It's okay"
While he was talking, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the city. Wu Hai hurriedly lowered the curtain
Looking at the carriage in front of him, the guard said, "Take a look at the identity documents"
The coachman obediently handed over his identity document and flattered, "Master Jun, those thieves haven't been caught yet."
Hearing this, the guard glanced up at him and said, "No, now the main person who is out of the city is strict," and handed him the things in his hand
Another guard looked at his carriageway, "What's in there?" ”
"This ......," the driver didn't know what to say for a moment. But he suddenly felt a pain behind him, and his eyes widened
The guards on the side looked wrong and had already surrounded them. Looking at the appearance of the coachman, he wondered, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Blood! Blood! The guard exclaimed, and before he could finish speaking, he saw the curtain of the carriage move slightly
